Chapter 578.1: If a Fool?
If a Fool? (1)
Seeing the vigorously struggling Min Xiao Yuan, and Sun Yi Lin who from beginning to end, never stopped advancing, Jing Wan was unable to describe the feeling inside. Looking at the situation, one should knew, it was impossible for Sun Yi Lin to not have Min Xiao Yuan in his heart, but to say how deep his love was, Jing Wan felt it wasn’t too possible either. Sun Yi Lin wasn’t someone that would fall in love easily, and after falling in love, he was just the type to be unchanging until death. As for him choosing Min Xiao Yuan and giving up on her, there were probably many factors in this. As for the specifics, probably even Sun Yi Lin himself was all unclear.
Jing Wan waved her hand, letting Hei Mei let go of Min Xiao Yuan.
Getting freed, Min Xiao Yuan immediately just staggeringly ran towards Sun Yi Lin, catching his tottering body, “Yi Lin, Yi Lin, how are you, huh? How are you? Talk to me, say something, Yi Lin…..”
Pitiful people certainly will have hateful areas, and in reverse, sometimes it also made sense. Min Xiao Yuan didn’t belong to the former, but Sun Yi Lin nevertheless belonged to the latter.
Min Xiao Yuan sat kneeling on the ground, while Sun Yi Lin also had both knees pressed against the ground, his body leaning forward, leaning on her shoulder. The mask on his face, unknown as to when, had fallen down. The hood, however, still covered his head. From his current position, one at most can only see his mouth and chin. However, Jing Wan nevertheless discovered from the visible areas that the ‘scar’ had disappeared quite a bit. Jing Wan jolted inside, lowering her head to touch the buddhist beads on her wrist. Looks like, it was probably just now when he was close by, the bead in her hand influencing the gu bug in his body. But, because it wasn’t directly coming in contact with it, it was unable to directly have the gu dissolved. However, it was obvious that the gu had been quite affected.
Sun Yi Lin’s situation right now, don’t know whether it was his inherent nature occupying the majority, or the gu bug having a greater influence. However, regardless of the reason, Jing Wan all had the intention of letting him get rid of the gu. Only when not being affected by outside factors can one hear his true thoughts. She just want to see, whether or not Sun Yi Lin will have anything to say about what he has done. To put it bluntly, it was just seeing whether or not he was still considered human, so as to decide whether it’s carrying out the ‘death penalty’, or ‘deferring the death sentence’. In any case, it absolutely won’t be letting him off free of guilt.
Min Xiao Yuan held Sun Yi Lin, painfully crying, yet she was also very careful, just fearing that touching the arrows would add to his pain, truly helpless and at a loss for what to do.
“Sorry, Xiao Yuan, sorry, sorry……” Sun Yi Lin repeated these words again and again, his voice growing softer and softer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt a certain time, his hand fell, thoroughly losing consciousness.
“Yi Lin, Yi Lin…..” No matter how Min Xiao Yuan shouted, he all didn’t have anymore reaction. If not for still sensing his breathing, perhaps would’ve thought that he’d already……
Min Xiao Yuan wasn’t able to support his weight, but didn’t dare to rashly move him either, and could only cast her gaze towards Jing Wan, “Your Highness wangfei, your Highness wangfei…….” The pleading couldn’t be more obvious, but the following words, she also wasn’t able to say. For a perpetrator that took someone hostage, what right does she have to ask the victim to save him. To have not immediately sent him to hell was already very benevolent.
“Ah Yuan, I’m tired, so first find a place to rest. As for Sun Yi Lin, prior to dying, he should still atone for his crimes first.” At this very moment, she was indeed exhausted both mentally and physically.
“Who was it that said, should’ve killed him earlier?” Li Hong Yuan very bluntly pointed out, “Now that the scar has healed, already forgot the pain?” What ‘letting him atone for his crimes’, merely just an excuse. The crimes he has committed, it was unable to be forgiven for many lifetimes.
“You should know, it’s not because of him. Moreover, right now, it’s ultimately different from before, so can he really still cause more trouble? If even now, can still let him continue causing trouble, then can only mean that…………”
“Mean that this husband is truly incompetent. —–Depart!” Li Hong Yuan directly had Jing Wan picked up. In any case, she was already used to it, so a few hundred more people present also wasn’t able to change anything.
He Shi Hai perceptively had his own horse offered up. In any case, right now, he didn’t dare to go provoke the living Enma. Even the reckless little tyrant knew how to ingratiate himself by looking at the other party’s complexion. Of course, in this world, the only one that can make him light up this skill was probably just Li Hong Yuan. When facing others, sorry, he absolutely belonged to the most simpleminded type. Of course, this skill’s awakening had nothing to do with Li Hong Yuan’s identity, purely a ‘fanboy’s’ fawning towards his ‘idol’.
Li Hong Yuan’s power over horses was still there, but as He Shi Hai’s warhorse, having that kind of relatively special master, it was still quite perceptive, not daring to cause trouble.
TN: All
Taking Jing Wan on the horse, Li Hong Yuan had her gathered in his arms. Lightly shaking the reins, the horse just started walking. The others also successively climb on the horses——–naturally there were ten some horses that needed to be shared. Encircling the surrounding, they lowered their speed to match with Li Hong Yuan.
Min Xiao Yuan and Sun Yi Lin getting left at the very end were just a bit unlucky. Even though Gong Jiu had also stayed at the end, but he just rather roughly pulled out the arrows in Sun Yi Lin. As for during this process, Sun Yi Lin waking up from the pain and then passing out again, Min Xiao Yuan’s tears just repeatedly fell, yet didn’t dare to make a sound. Gong Jiu entirely pretended to not see, simply treating and stopping the bleeding. Afterwards, he had Sun Yi Lin thrown onto a horse, and then just clapped his hands and left.
Min Xiao Yuan mounted the horse with shaking hands. She although had learned how to ride before, her level was very limited. Running around in flat and spacious areas was fine, but this kind of place right now was just very difficult. But, she didn’t have a choice. If she doesn’t take him, then he can only be left here. Then, what awaits him will just be death. She was unable to abandon him. Even though taking him back, he perhaps won’t have a good end either, but she similarly didn’t dare to escape with him. Not knowing where to go, and not being able to take very good care of him was one thing. Escaping clearly will implicate her family. She originally was already very sorry towards them. If she were to also implicate them, then she truly can’t escape the blame even in death.
Min Xiao Yuan clenched her teeth and carefully steered the horse forward, using all her strength to finally catch up with the party in front. If Li Hong Yuan were to slightly speed up, then she will just get left very far behind. Because of concentrating all her energy, she didn’t have the mind to think about other things, but along the way, her tears for the most part never disappeared.
The temporary lodging place naturally was in the small town where the garrison troops resided, booking down the best inn.
Their party of several hundred people, even if not wearing the army uniform, others can still tell that they absolutely weren’t simple, having a stern air. And without even needing to do anything, the guests in the inn just cleared out in the quickest speed, while the innkeeper, as well as the remaining people, all trembled with fear, their legs shaking, displaying a subservient stance.
In the main hall, Li Hong Yuan took Jing Wan to find a place to sit down, letting her drink some water first.
As for the remaining matters, Gong mama put on the airs of a head mama again, methodically and thoroughly carrying out arrangements, from Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan’s food and lodging, to arranging the guards. The remaining people naturally all went to the army camp to stay temporarily. Afterwards, they also needed to prepare a horse carriage to return to the capital, as well as the things that will be used along the way. These last few things completely can let the innkeeper fully take charge of, and in terms of money, Jin Qinwang was the least stingy. Gong mama had quite a few banknotes on her. Throwing a few over, even if the innkeeper was scared inside, he still grinned from ear to ear, repeatedly promising that he certainly will have the matter handled properly.
In this kind of rural place, it goes without saying that there won’t be anything good, but even if it’s just staying for one night, some things still needed to be completely new. And for the sake of letting Jing Wan be able to rest as quickly as possible, these things naturally needed to be properly prepared first thing. As such, running in and out, quite a few people were all very busy.
The back kitchen first prepared some food. Jing Wan had the Baiyi clan’s treasure in hand, so naturally can just fearlessly eat. By the time she finished eating, the room was already put in order.
The couple nicely washed up, loosening their muscles, and changing into clean and soft clothes.
Jing Wan finally felt relaxed, and at the same time, the weariness also took over. And in Li Hong Yuan’s eyes, his wife was the most important, so naturally just accompanied Jing Wan to rest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat’s why, for He Shi Hai who was waiting for Li Hong Yuan outside, this while, he could only helplessly sit around. Afterwards, he just very boldly slipped out.
As for how to clean up the few hundred garrison troops that died previously, that General Sun had attempted to kill a qinwang of the imperial court, so even if dead, it still can’t just be left unsettled like this. As for how to handle and such problems, He Shi Hai completely didn’t bother. Although in reality, among everyone here, his post was the highest, so it should be him going to handle, but when actually having the problem placed before him, he just gave an innocent look, expressing that he completely didn’t understand.
It can’t be helped. Guard Qian had no choice but to take on the heavy responsibility. Although he was just the head of the bodyguards, he nevertheless came from a qinwang manor, and his master was even the victim. When he found the other high-ranking officer of the garrison, the other party didn’t dare to put on airs towards him, carefully serving, even sparing no effort in defending himself, vowing that the matter absolutely had nothing to do with him.
However, for the people by Li Hong Yuan’s side, everything else was hard to say, but there was one thing that was certain, and that was just handling official matters in a strictly business-like manner. That’s why, regardless of who, all don’t need to explain. After thoroughly investigating, the results will be given to their master, and how the matter will be handled in the end, it will completely depend on master’s wish. Whether it’s handling official matters officially, or handling official matters privately, or even handling private matters officially, that was all just a word from him. The people below just need to carry out his orders.Follow current s on novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ
By the time Jing Wan finished recuperating, another day had passed.
Having He Shi Hai called over, they first inquired about the situation in the capital, and also why he would come to the borders.
Turns out, after Li Hong Yuan left the capital to ‘search for medicine’ for Jing Wan, and afterwards, discovering that Jing Wan had also disappeared shortly after, Le Cheng Emperor instantly just became worried, sending out people to search all over the country. However, because of not knowing the cause within, he was unable to do it with great fanfare. The people that were sent out were the Black Clad Guards, as well as a portion of his elite forces.
The person in charge of the Black Clad Guards was Li Su Yan, this bit didn’t need to be mentioned, but the other person in charge was nevertheless Fu Yun Ting.
Based on Le Cheng Emperor’s meaning, they were both his trusted subjects, possessing extraordinary abilities, so only by having the heavy task of finding his beloved son entrusted to them, can he feel reassured.
Handing it to Li Su Yan, perhaps, was because of this reason, but for Fu Yun Ting, it certainly wasn’t the case.
“His Majesty, even at this time, still hasn’t forgetten to find an opportunity to eliminate Fu Yun Ting, truly putting his ‘painstaking effort’. Back in the northwest, he has already used you, this favorite son of his, and this time, it’s continuing to use. Ah Yuan, you’re actually the shield that he’s erected, right? If something happens to you, precisely because he cares about you the most, no matter how furious, and no matter how irrational of a decision, it all can be understood. And you’re actually the true root of disaster.” Jing Wan calmly said, filled with endless mockery.
“Who knows? And who cares what he’s thinking. In any case,” he won’t be able to sit in that position for much longer.
