Rebirth of the Phoenix

Who owe whom debt

At that time, he felt that his life was passing rapidly and was about to end.

The moment he closed his eyes, he thought that it would be the last time he saw his brother, and the last time he saw in the world, and then he would go looking for Hongzhuang.

He didn't know where Hongzhuang was, but after he died, he had endless time to constantly search for Hongzhuang.

And now, he is awake and he is not dead, so he must be saved.

At that time, only Liang Hongye will save him.

He was poisoned by the snake, which was originally beyond cure, but he was saved. Although his body was still a little paralyzed and weak, he did not suffer much damage. He could listen, watch, speak, eat, and move.

, Then your body will always get better slowly.

He didn't know how she saved herself, but he was sure that she must have paid a lot.

In the dream, he knew that he was being taken care of meticulously. He thought it was a dream, that was Hongzhuang, but now he knew that it was not a dream, that was not a Hongzhuang... that was, she was taking care of him.

He could not forgive himself for treating her as Hongzhuang, but he could not blame her.

She did so much for him, saving his life again and again. Without her, he would not have lived now. He could blame someone who saved him countless times, took risks for him countless times, but had nothing to ask for.

woman?

In this life, except for Hongzhuang, he owe her the most, and hopes that he can repay her favor before he dies.

It’s better to hurry up... and finish all this quickly and leave with "her" earlier.

He thought in his heart, trying hard to get out of bed.

"Woo--" An excited and vague voice came. He looked over and the mute carried two buckets of water into the house. When he saw that he woke up, he immediately placed the bucket on the ground and ran over to grab his hand.

Looks ecstatic.

He was shaken a little uncomfortable: "I'm awake, I'm fine, you can help me out first, I want to get some breath."

The mute immediately helped him out of the house and took a chair for him to sit on.

He sat under the eaves, looking at the thick and quiet forest in front of him, and said nothing for a long time.

The sun is bright and bright, but the scorching light is washed by towering trees and when it hits the ground, it has become much mottled and softer. The mountain wind is constantly refreshing, just right, holding

The fragrance of plants and trees made him feel comfortable and dazed.

Under the big tree in front of the house, Hongzhuang dressed in a peasant woman, cutting vegetables on the stove built with stones in front of the house. On the fire next to it, there was a pot with a steaming steam in the pot.

On the treetops, there were a few birds chirping and jumping around.

At this moment, Ye Jiu suddenly felt that living... didn't seem as bad as he thought.

Then, he was frightened by his own feelings: Why did he think so?

Is it because I died once?

I really thought I was dead, but I came alive. So, have my thoughts and feelings changed?

Will death change a person?

He smiled bitterly, his heart full of sourness. People like him were already a crime to live, and living well was even more a heinous crime.

"I cooked wild vegetable porridge, eat some." Hongzhuang came over with a big bowl, stirred it carefully with a spoon, blew it up carefully, scooped up a spoon, and handed it to his mouth.

Ye Jiu didn't want her to feed him, but he was very weak now and might not have the strength to pick up the bowl, so he opened his mouth and ate it.

After a big bowl was eaten, he ate a few more wild fruits, felt a little strength recovered, and then said, "Tell me, what happened during this period."

Hongzhuang looked at the mute, and the mute ran away.

Then, Hongzhuang slowly told Ye Jiu about everything that had happened since he was poisoned.

After Ye Jiu listened quietly, the first sentence was: "You saved me again, and I will never thank you for your kindness."

His polite and sincere attitude surprised Hongzhuang very much.

After she was stunned for a moment, she smiled slightly: "What are you talking about? We are our partners."

Ye Jiu glanced at her and looked at Yuankong: "King Xiaoyao... is here?"

Hongzhuang said, "Well, he lives behind the house. Do you want to see him?"

Ye Jiu shook his head slowly: "No, he probably thought I was dead, so don't let him know that I'm still alive for the time being."

That time in the woods, he kept staring at Xiaoyao King secretly. Seeing that Xiaoyao King was about to be in crisis, he rushed out without thinking to block the attack of the poisonous snake. He knew that he always cared about this elder brother.

But now, for some reason, his feelings for his elder brother suddenly faded, so indifferent that he knew he was just around the corner, but his heart was almost no turbulent.

Is it because he lost his life for his elder brother and felt that he had paid back the debt of love that his elder brother loved him since he was a child?

Or is it because he already understood that he and his elder brother were different from each other and could never go back to the past?

At the same time, his feelings for the woman in front of him seemed different. He knew clearly that this was not a relationship between men and women, but it was very strong.

Is this change because he knows that only she is truly, completely trusted and relied on?

For him, she could do anything and do anything--the only one in the world would be like this.

Even his closest relatives can't do it like hers.

Hongzhuang vaguely noticed his changes, but couldn't say what his changes were. She just felt that he... seemed to have become calmer, softer, and more vicissitudes. Is it the depth and quietness after the disaster?

She said, "I got it. I didn't tie him up or give him medicine. I just planted some night fragrance behind the house."

When she first entered the city, she and Ye Jiu discussed many times how to kidnap and isolate Ye Yingxian.

Ye Jiu told her that Ye Yingxian was allergic to Ye Laixiang. Some time ago, before the city was so strict, she bought some Ye Laixiang and asked the mute to bring it here to plant it to control Ye.

Prepare for Yingxian.

Ye Jiu said: "Don't let anyone know about this anymore."

Having learned this secret, it would be much easier to control Xiaoyao King. He did not want Xiaoyao King to suffer unnecessary danger.

Hongzhuang said: "I know, I won't tell anyone."

Ye Jiu looked at her and wanted to say something, but said nothing, just said, "Please help me into the house, I'm tired."

He was really tired. The snake venom really made him suffer. Because of this, he realized even more how difficult this woman was and how much she did for him.

If he learned something from this disaster, it was to cherish it, cherish his life a little bit, cherish others' wishes a little bit - this little bit was already an unprecedented surprise for him.

Hongzhuang put one of his arms on his shoulders and hugged him by his waist and entered the room.

Ye Jiu subconsciously frowned, trying to avoid physical contact, but after his body stiffened for a while, he still did not repel it.

They are companions, and he just needs to think that she is a "brother".

After Hongzhuang helped him lie down, he slowly said, "Don't do anything before my body recovers, just wait and see."

Hongzhuang said "um" gently.

Ye Jiu closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly.

For a long time after that, he did not dream of Hongzhuang again. Perhaps, he understood in his heart that Hongzhuang could not be with him at all, and could not talk to him at all. Everything was just his hallucination, or,

It was just that he got it wrong.

He wanted to see Hongzhuang again, maybe he would only die after death.

Life in the mountains and forests is monotonous and calm.

Gucheng was already in chaos, and the Wang army outside the city surrounded Gucheng so much that it was blocked. Everyone had to go to and leave the city to undergo very strict inspections and body checks, and no one could disguise or disguise to leave the city.

However, the murderer who set fire in the general's mansion, killed Youmang and Phantom, and kidnapped the Xiaoyao King, had nowhere to go.

Only the soldiers guarding the city said that a carriage once left the city with the royal token and headed towards the dangerous Shaanxi Pass. The army sent people out of the city to track down the carriage, but found nothing.

The generals in the army notified Ying Wuhen to pay attention to the suspicious characters, while waiting for the Queen Mother's instructions.

More than half a month after the fire broke out in the General's Mansion, Ying Rushuang received the expedited flying book from Gucheng.

The moment she finished reading Feishu, she felt the darkness in front of her eyes, covered her chest and shook it twice, and almost fainted. Fortunately, Ying Jinghong supported her in time.

"Empress, what happened?" Ying Jinghong asked.

Ying Rushuang's face looked a little miserable: "Phantom and Youmang... are dead."

Ying Jinghong's face changed slightly. After helping her sit down, he picked up the letter and said nothing for a long time, but that face was as terrifying as a roaring angry dragon.

Phantom and Youmang actually died?

They and him, all of them had no relatives or friends, and were destined to have no queen. They served the Queen Mother together for many years. Although they didn't talk much to each other, in fact, they were already like a family.

For any of them, the Empress is the meaning of their existence, while the other three are the only companions. The death of the companion is a knife stabbed in their hearts, not to mention... two people died.

"Really, really dead?" A thin, trembling voice came.

Yinwu, as if he appeared out of thin air, standing beside Ying Wuhen.

Ying Jinghong handed Feishu to him: "Yes."

After Yin Wu finished reading the letter, he put the letter back on the table and stood aside with his hands hanging down. He seemed calm, but his hands were shaking violently.

"Empress," Ying Jinghong looked at Ying Rushuang, "What should I do next?"

He said this, but he had already made a decision in his heart: this revenge must be avenged!

Ying Rushuang endured the heartache and slowly said, "Either it was done by Ye Jiu or it was done by Xiaoyao King, there would be no one else."

Phantom and Youmang went for those two people, and only those two people had the ability and courage. She didn't need to investigate, did not need evidence, and did not have to doubt this.

Ying Jinghong said: "I also think so. The kidnapped King Xiaoyao is very strange. Maybe he was directed and acted by the prince himself."

Ying Rushuang smiled, with no smile or warmth in her eyes: "I don't believe that there is such a coincidence."

In that place in Gucheng, no one has the ability to kill Youmang, and the Phantom can kidnap Ye Yingxian, except Ye Jiu.

Either Ye Jiu took Ye Yingxian away, or Ye Yingxian escaped by himself, or the two brothers joined forces, there was no other possibility.

But no matter which possibility, these two brothers can't stay anymore!
