The night breeze, carrying the coldness of the Yellow River in the distance, made the market town sleeping under the moonlight a bit more chilly.
This is supposed to be a bustling population gathering place, but the wind passing through the street carries endless sadness.
Yan Yun left Fenglindu, and before he had time to change into clean clothes, he rushed towards his only home now - Taiping County Government Office.
There was no joy in his eyes after killing Li Ao, only anxiety and expectation rolling over and over in his heart.
After absorbing all the tamed dead souls in Li Ao's blood-colored soul flag, his Netherworld Soul Flag was upgraded again, and its ability to control the Netherworld Mist was incomparable to before.
In just half an hour, he rushed from Fenglindu to the county government gate, staring at the silent county government gate.
He really wanted to go to the backyard of the county government office to see Zoe, his parents-in-law, uncle, and others as soon as possible, but he was timid at the door.
He felt guilty and frightened. After experiencing the death of his father and brother in battle, and having everyone in General Wuwei's mansion beheaded, he realized that he was so afraid of losing.
Finally, he rose up lightly and climbed over the county government building, which was about ten feet high. With a little foot on the tile surface, he was already standing on the eaves at the junction of the front hall and the backyard.
He looked down from a high position and looked around. After months of separation, he felt strange to this courtyard where he had only stayed briefly.
But he still recognized the small side yard behind the clump of green trees. The tenderness and tenderness of the newlyweds were still vivid in his mind. This yard left a deep mark on him and Zoe walking hand in hand in the snow and admiring the plum blossoms.
The small courtyard in front of the side house was covered with fallen leaves, and it had obviously not been cleaned for a long time.
The door was open a crack, and there was no light on inside. This was obviously abnormal. How could a woman living alone sleep without closing the door?
Before returning home, Yan Yun still retained a sense of hope in his heart. This situation made him feel cold all over.
He opened the door and walked in, lighting the oil lamp with the fire stick on the table.
The living room was full of dust, and the fallen leaves on the floor tiles drifted with the night wind.
He took the oil lamp and walked towards his bedroom. The moment he opened the door, a festive atmosphere filled his face.
The red bedding and pillowcases, even the chairs and tables were covered with red cloth, exactly the same as the wedding room before he left.
The door of the cupboard was open, and several pieces of men's clothes and children's coats fell to the floor. It seemed that the mistress of the room was busy at work, but she was frightened and had no time to pick them up.
There are more children's clothes in the cabinet, covering the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, including several pairs of tiger-toe shoes.
Zoe is pregnant?
Yan Yun's heart was shaken wildly, and an irrepressible sadness filled his eyes, which even became wet and blurred...
"Mrs. Zoe..." Yan Yun held a tiger-head shoe and shouted loudly, her voice trembling.
He rushed out of the room like crazy and went straight to the main courtyard of his father-in-law Zuo Gao.
While he was still outside the door, he saw through the moonlight that there were more than ten corpses lying on the floor of the banquet hall inside the collapsed door...
He walked towards the steps step by step in despair, stepped through the door, and found several familiar figures.
There are Zuo Gao and his wife, Zuo Ziang and his wife, children, maids, servants...
They have been dead for a long time and have changed beyond recognition. If it were not judged by their clothes, it would be difficult to identify them...
There is another person wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes, with bloody flesh on the skirt and near the abdomen...
Li Ao did not give the Zuo family any chance to survive. Judging from the degree of decay of the corpse, it had been at least a month.
Zoe's abdomen covered with blood showed that she was pregnant and carrying Yan Yun's child.
Therefore, while she was waiting for her husband to return, she sewed clothes, shoes and socks for him, and prepared a complete set of clothes for the little life in her belly.
“Zoe, parents-in-law…”
Yan Yun knelt straight on the ground, bowed his head, and his forehead collided with the ground, making a muffled sound like beating a drum...
Soon, blood and tears covered his red eyes...
A thin quilt wrapped Zoe's once soft body, and Yan Yun hugged her tightly to his chest.
In the side room, the flowers and candles in the bridal chamber that night are still vivid in my mind, but things have changed!
He closed the quilt, hugged Zoe's body and lay down together, finally crying loudly.
However, this soft and fleshy woman who brought him the first beauty in his life could never wake up again.
No one can understand his regret and bitterness at this moment... He is completely despairing...
The so-called titles such as "King of Side by Side", "King of the Kingdom", and "General of Military Power" are meaningless in the face of life and death.
What is the Huagai Life, what is the Seven Kills of Life, and what is a natural monk?
He was at a loss in his heart, could this person be him? He didn't expect that Yu Zhenzi's words came true.
Along the palm lines, destiny is imprinted!
Three days later, on the highest mountain in Taiping County, Yan Yun knelt in front of the simple tombstones and offered them wine and food.
He buried his relatives here that night and worshiped them with wine and meat every day, accompanying them day and night.
Unknowingly, the moon was above the treetops, and he raised his head to stare at the moon that was about to disappear into the clouds, just like when he was a boy.
He was waiting, the anger in his heart had long cooled down, but an uncontrollable cruelty and bloodlust spread endlessly in his mind.
Kill for life, blood for blood!
Finally, three men and horses galloped towards the pass of the mountain. The sound of horse hooves scared away the night owl, and also refreshed Yan Yun, who was in deep thought.
Sure enough, they came!
The three knights on the official road, dressed in the gorgeous clothes of Dayu Palace, are the three eunuchs who once besieged Yan Yun.
They had been patrolling the Fenglindu river for the past three days, trying to find Li Ao's figure, but the more they searched, the more frightened and frightened they became.
For three days, Li Ao has not shown up, and is obviously in serious danger.
They could only return to the royal city and report to their master Li Du. It was hard to imagine how they would face Li Du's thunderous wrath.
They also thought about running away, but where could they go?
Although the world is huge, it is all the territory of Dayu, and Li Du is the one who controls Wang Ling.
If they don't go back, they will face the risk of being exterminated by the nine tribes. This is not a consequence they dare to bear.
At this moment, an erratic and charming figure landed in the middle of the official road, looking at them as if looking at a dead person.
"It's him!" a eunuch exclaimed.
"Catch him!" another eunuch shouted.
Three soul flags were held in their hands. Each soul flag contained more than 200 dead souls. This sudden release caused a sudden gloomy wind. The green trees and grass were frozen, like the sudden rotation of the seasons, and the clouds were shrouded in the clouds. Down.
Yan Yun flicked his robe sleeves, and the dead souls swarmed out of his robe sleeves like crucian carp crossing the river, covering the top of Yan Yun's head in the blink of an eye.
The dead souls suddenly dispersed again, and glittering ice formed from under his feet. More than 2,000 dead souls rushed toward the three of them!
Ice collides with ice, dead souls clash with dead souls, and the situation of superiority and inferiority is immediately clear!
More than 600 dead souls were unable to fight back in front of more than 2,000 dead souls. After just one encounter, they shrank back into the soul flags of the three eunuchs.
Probably because a new ghost king was born in the Yanyun Soul Flag, it belongs to a different ghost king system than the soul flags used by the eunuchs. Although there is not a soul left in the soul flags used by the three eunuchs, they are different from the soul flags held by Yan Yun. No fusion occurs.
At this time, the three eunuchs had turned pale. They wanted to run but it was too late. They were imprisoned by the huge force and could not move.
Cold sweat seeped out from their temples, their teeth collided with each other, and even breathing seemed not so smooth.
However, they saw Yan Yun walking slowly on the ice with a calm face.
Step by step, it's like death is approaching.
"General Yan, spare your life..."
"General Yan, we are just following orders, we don't want to be enemies with the general..."
"The general's wife, children and relatives were all done by Li Ao and have nothing to do with us..."
Yan Yun said calmly: "Each of the dead souls in your flag represents a life. When you first heard them begging for mercy, did you feel any compassion at all?"
"General, we were forced. It was all done by Li and his son."
The three eunuchs only thought of begging for mercy when they faced a disaster, but it was too late. Yan Yun no longer had any mercy in his heart.
Yan Yun pulled the three eunuchs off their horses one by one, and at the same time grabbed the three soul flags in his hands, and collected more than 600 dead souls into his own soul flag.
The Nether Soul Flag sent a message to Yan Yun's mind that the capacity of the Soul Flag was about to reach its upper limit.
Yan Yun doesn't know how to continue upgrading and expanding the Soul Flag, and he doesn't care at the moment.
The three eunuchs were now liberated from their confinement. They felt weak in their hearts and their calves were weak, but they still struggled to run towards the Three Forests.
But without the protection of the soul flag, they are just ordinary mortals. In front of a strong guard like Yan Yun, they are like children but more adults.
Yan Yun ignored the three people's feeble-footed escape. Instead, he took out the chain hammer from the soul flag and looked at a strong tree on the side of the road that was as thick as three people hugging each other.
He jumped up and struck it with a hammer. The branches of the big tree extending towards the road became bare, leaving only a few mottled and strong branches.
Then, Yan Yun suddenly rose up and grabbed the back of a fleeing eunuch.
Three miserable howls came from the three bloody men hanging on the branches of the tree. The blood seeped down quickly along their attire, and the blood fell like a spring on the official road.
All three of them were pierced through the abdomen by tree branches, like chickens and ducks hanging out to dry. They were unable to die for a while, screaming and struggling in fear and pain!
Yan Yun stood under the tree, his eyes so cold that no emotion could be seen, and he even looked a little dull and nervous.
After a long time, Yan Yun looked up in confusion. At this time, the screams had already stopped, and the heads of the three eunuchs were drooping, lifeless.
Afterwards, Yan Yun collected the souls of the three people into the soul flag, jumped on his horse, and headed straight towards Fenglindu.
After running for about three miles, he came to his senses again. The horse was running too slowly, and it was no longer necessary for him.
He stared at the hills under the night again, and the scene when Zoe and his family sent him to the royal city a year ago came to mind again.
"General, come back soon..."
At that time, Zoe held her head high, smiling and reluctant to leave.
"I know, this is my home."
At that time, he was so responsive to the gentle Zoe.
He saw a group of people waving to him in the sun. When he tried to raise his hand in response, his vision went dark, with only the moonlight shining like water, illuminating the extreme loneliness deep in his heart.
It turns out that what this world has left to the world is nothingness!
