"I know my injuries very well. Brother Ling, I... am about to die. I can't drag you down anymore - leave me alone and leave!"
Du Zhenghai was taken to the execution ground and was about to be executed. Ling Yun and Lian Nanchun showed up in time to save him, but unexpectedly encountered an ambush designed by Li Zhishan and others.
The situation was extremely critical at the moment, and Du Zhenghai was covered in bruises and injuries, which were extremely serious. He knew that he was in danger of escaping, so he decisively pushed Ling Yun away and held his hand, speaking intermittently.
Ling Yun turned his sharp eyes and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense and come with me!" As he spoke, he raised his hand to pull him, but Du Zhenghai refused to cooperate.
While the two were trying to escape, more than a dozen guards came over to kill him. Ling Yun had no choice but to put down Du Zhenghai, snatched a long sword from one of the guards, and fought with the other guards.
At this time, a guard quietly walked around Ling Yun, intending to kill Du Zhenghai.
Unexpectedly, although Du Zhenghai was seriously injured, he didn't know where the strength came from at this time. He faced the opponent's sharp sword and "shifted the enemy's attack" into nothing.
As soon as the guard was stunned, Du Zhenghai became ruthless and ruthless, snatching his long sword with lightning-like movement, flipping his wrist, and penetrated deeply into his chest.
Dripping blood spurted out like spring water, splashing all over Du Zhenghai's body and face; when he fell to the ground and expired, his eyes were still wide open.
He probably didn't understand until his death why he, a dignified imperial guard, died in the hands of a dying man for no apparent reason.
Ling Yun had already fought off the siege of the guards, turned his face and shouted at Du Zhenghai: "Brother Du, leave quickly!..."
But Du Zhenghai smiled sadly, and a look of determination to die generously suddenly flashed in his eyes. He suddenly reversed the blade and penetrated his chest without the hilt...
Ling Yun was stunned. When he came to his senses and rushed to Du Zhenghai in a few steps, he slowly fell to the ground.
His blood was dripping and dazzling; but his expression was unusually calm.
Ling Yun forcibly suppressed the throbbing pain deep in his heart, leaned over to help his blood-soaked body, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Du, why are you bothering?..."
Du Zhenghai's entire face was distorted, his eyes widened unconsciously, his teeth were clenched, and he was breathless, but with an expression of infinite yearning on his face, he murmured: "Now... I can finally be with my... ...Ling'er is together..."
As he spoke, he suddenly became silent, and a happy and fascinated smile condensed on his face forever.
Ling Yun called several times, but there was no response, and his heart sank to the bottom.
The look in his eyes was almost numb, and his eyes were a deathly gray color. His body was as stiff as a dead tree, like a lonely puppet whose soul had been hollowed out; and what was piled on the ground was just an empty body.
At this time, the guards rushed over again. Ling Yun slowly put down Du Zhenghai's body, stood up numbly, and subconsciously fought with everyone.
His mind was in chaos. In just a few days, his friends and relatives left him one after another. Mr. Lu, Yang Zhen, Mo Shuiling, Du Zhenghai...
He didn't know what he had finally gained from all the hard work and sacrifice he had put in for so many years - could it be that he was faced with one cruel reality after another that he could not accept?
The moment of life and death, the moment of joy and sorrow, from extreme sorrow to complete despair, made him feel as if he had fallen into an abyss and almost collapsed.
At this time, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. It turned out that a guard's sharp blade had stabbed him.
His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly came back to his senses from his confused thoughts. He looked at the ferocious faces in front of him with some astonishment, and the greedy and cold eyes.
——The emperor once issued a decree offering a reward of 100,000 yuan for his capture!
At this time, those beastly eyes, like greedy dogs, finally saw the coveted delicacy, and grabbed him straight, with a cold and bloodthirsty light shining in their eyes.
What they saw in their eyes was not the imperial criminals that the emperor had strictly ordered to hunt down, but the naked and shining silver reward from the imperial court!
One hundred thousand taels of silver, what an attractive reward condition - this is a huge amount of money that most people dare not even think about and cannot earn in many lifetimes!
His consciousness suddenly awakened. His pupils were tightened, so violent, and there was a light red under his eyes.
He suddenly burst into rage, wishing to completely destroy everything he saw in front of him, and the resentment and anger he had accumulated in his heart for many days suddenly burst out.
His dark eyes were like thick ink that could not be melted away; he raised his head and roared, his sad and shrill howl reaching into the sky: "Ah!..."
He shook his arms, and the sharp blade stuck on his shoulder snapped into two pieces with a click; the guard also vomited blood under the shock of the huge wind, staggered and fell a few steps! …
The dark sky is pouring out the breath of boredom; the whole world is flowing with damp depression. The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be pressing down, and it was so dark.
Black clouds are threatening to destroy the city. In the imperial study of Emperor Zhao Yu. Li Zhishan, Ding Jinzhi and others stood in front of the emperor's desk with bated breath, fearing to report to the emperor what had just happened on the execution ground:
Du Zhenghai was shot dead on the spot, but the whereabouts of Ling Yun and his accomplices were unknown; but now they have mobilized all their forces to go all out to capture the key criminals, and will report as soon as there is any progress, and so on.
Zhao Yu frowned slightly, with scrutiny in his deep eyes, and said coldly: "You guys have been talking for a long time, but you still haven't let Ling Yun go in the end? I made an order a few days ago to do everything possible, even at all costs. The price is to capture Ling Yun - now that so much time has passed, where is the person you want to arrest? Where is the whereabouts of Lu Wenzheng?..."
Everyone was as silent as cicadas, shaking their clothes and standing.
Ding Jinzhi said cautiously: "We think that although Ling Yun has escaped by chance now, on the one hand, he is injured and has difficulty moving, so he will not go far; on the other hand, the capital is heavily guarded, and every gate is heavily guarded. Ling Yun It can be said that a bird in a cage cannot fly. So as long as we continue to maintain martial law, it will be a matter of time before we catch the imperial criminals."
The emperor's expression softened slightly, and he scoffed coldly, "Okay, I'll just wait for your good news. Chaoying——"
He turned around and ordered: "Send the message to everyone. No matter who it is, as long as they have information about Ling Yun's whereabouts or information, they must report to me as soon as possible!"
Feng Chaoying sighed in panic, and Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan also said...
But the Ge brothers, who were rescued by Princess Huanyu that day and then returned to the Jinling Palace with everyone, were grateful to the princess and the people of the Jinling Palace, and were determined to serve the Jinling Palace wholeheartedly, even if they went through fire and water. No matter what.
Therefore, the two of them worked very diligently and diligently in their work in the mansion. They ran around every day and won high praise from the people in the mansion. Princess Huanyu was also very satisfied with the two of them.
Princess Huanyu was smart and had already picked up clues from her conversation with the two of them that day, so after getting acquainted with the two of them, she found an opportunity to ask about Ling Yun.
In fact, although the two brothers are young, they are thoughtful; especially Ge Long, who has stayed in the mansion for a long time and has a rough idea of the princess's thoughts.
In particular, the princess likes to stand alone in the back garden before sunset in the evening, looking at the setting sun in trance.
At this time, she looked lonely, standing alone in the wind. The sight made people feel heartbroken and sad - at this time, the two brothers had the urge to tell the secret that had been hidden in their hearts for many days.
At this time, Princess Huanyu mentioned the matter, and the two of them felt that they could no longer hide and remain silent, so they told everything about what happened to their family a few days ago (such as what happened when Ling Yun was recuperating in the Ge family), and they told Huan everything. Princess Jade was filled with sorrow and joy, and the girl Wan'er beside her was also dumbfounded.
The two of them finished talking about these things with their heads lowered, and then silently waited for Princess Huanyu's stern rebuke and thunderous wrath - strangely, they didn't hear anything for a long time.
The two of them raised their heads in surprise, only to see that Princess Huanyu's face was filled with tears.
When she heard what brothers Ge Long and Ge Hu said, Princess Huanyu felt her head buzzing and she shed tears on the spot. Her heart was beating in ashes, tremors reaching her fingertips, and her whole body was trembling slightly.
"Princess..." The two of them were at a loss for a moment.
Huanyu raised her head and breathed a sigh of relief. She suppressed the turbulent ups and downs in her heart, wiped her tears and said, "It's okay. You can leave first."
Ge Long murmured: "You have done such a wrong thing, don't you blame us?..."
Huan Yu sighed softly, lowered his eyelids, covering the sadness in his eyes, and spoke with a bit of bitterness in his voice, "You are young and careless, not to mention you have realized your mistake now; in fact, for me, as long as I know that he is still fine It's better than any good news. It's too late for me to thank you now, so how can I blame you?"
The two of them were so grateful to Princess Huanyu that they didn't know what to say for a moment.
Before leaving, Princess Huanyu repeatedly asked the two brothers and her personal maid, Wan'er, to keep this matter secret and not to let others know. Everyone said yes again and again.
After a while, there was news outside that Lingyun was rescuing people at the execution ground. The capital was heavily guarded inside and outside, and there were figures arresting important criminals everywhere.
When Princess Huanyu, Prince Jinling and others heard the news, their originally relaxed hearts became tense again.
When the Ge brothers saw that Princess Huanyu was anxious, they were also worried.
On this day, the two brothers were on duty in front of the mansion. Suddenly they heard a noise in front of them, and then a sentry guard came over aggressively. The leader was Sun Guoxiong.
When the Ge brothers saw Sun Guoxiong leading a group of people patrolling in front of the Jinling Palace, they couldn't help but get angry. They were about to step forward, but were stopped by someone. This person is Zhao Yang, a close family member of the Jinling Palace.
Zhao Yang looked at the people in front of him with a sneer, and the curve of his mouth showed undisguised contempt and disgust.
He raised his eyebrows casually, walked forward slowly, and said in a deliberately long tone: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Sun? You lead so many guards to wander around in front of our house. I don't know why?"
