Chapter 26 Chapter 25 Luoying Misidentifies Wu Yixian

The antidote is working, and the erythema on Xiangsi's body gradually fades away. She was still wrapped in the thick blanket, motionless.Until it was getting late, she took off the princess dress and sat up slowly.Outside the window of the carriage, Seoul was getting farther and farther away, and her heart gradually became peaceful. At this moment, she thought of Shen Weijing. She never thought that this humble person could die in such a violent way.What's more unexpected is.What the princess said after waking up: "Shen Weijing asked me to tell you, please hand over to him the place where Xuanzu was imprisoned."

"He will take this information to meet Leader Yang." Xiangsi suddenly understood that this was a game. A situation even more tragic than when Jing Ke assassinated Qin Qin, borrowing the head of General Fan. Acacia is the person most likely to know where Sunjo was imprisoned, other than Ping Xiuji.Hirao Hideyoshi kept her by his side, taking the opportunity of some tea every day to analyze the battle situation to her.It's not that he trusts her, but that he is confident that this woman is just a famous painting in his tea room.He needs to find such a perfect trophy to witness his victory.

What's more, she is still a member of Zhuo Wangsun. Every time he saw Acacia's surprised or panicked expression, he couldn't help smiling --- this is really more interesting than sieging cities and plundering land, destroying countries and capturing kings. But, maybe he didn't expect that this gentle lotus-like woman in front of him is not just a painting, an exquisite trophy. This game was set up before the princess went out.Yang Yizhi sent someone to tell Shen Weijing the plan, hoping that he would take the opportunity of seeing Acacia to find out where Xuanzu was imprisoned.But Shen Weijing knew that it was easy to get information, but difficult to pass it on, and it was even more difficult to make Hirao Hideyoshi aware of it.Once it is known that the news leaked, Hirao Hideyoshi will inevitably change the place of imprisonment, and this information will be useless.

Shen Weijing thought of a way. That's a legend. There is a precious plant in a certain country in the Western Regions, which can make medicines that are more expensive than gold.The country became rich and powerful as a result.But the surrounding neighboring countries are barren and backward, suffering from bullying.Neighboring countries wanted to get the seeds of the plant, and sent people into the country many times to steal them.But the king guarded the seeds very strictly, and if he found a thief, he would kill him immediately.Over the years, countless people have died trying to steal the seeds, but none of them succeeded.Until one time, a thief was captured. Unlike others, he died generously on the execution ground without fear, and only made a request to the king, hoping to send his head back to the motherland.

Only in this way can he kiss the land of his hometown with his eyes that have never closed his eyes. The people watching the execution were all moved by his loyalty and pleaded with the king for him, and the king had no choice but to grant his request. However, the year after the head was returned to the neighboring country, the plant bloomed everywhere in the neighboring country. Because the hero has quietly put the stolen seeds in his mouth.When the messenger sent the seed back to the neighboring country, that precious seed was also passed on. Acacia has heard of this legend. So, she wrote the place where Xuanzu was imprisoned on paper, sealed it with wax pills, and stuffed it into Shen Weijing's throat.After the onset of the poisoning of Chidu Powder, the body melted down from the neck down, and the end of the throat was blocked by hardened blood clots, so the wax pills would not slip down.The remaining poison will remain in the flesh and blood for seven days, and it will kill you if you touch it.Unless there is a termination of the contract in hand, most people would not even dare to touch the head, let alone examine it seriously.

This method of transmitting information is so seamless that no one will be able to detect it. Shen Weijing's death was not to wash away his shame, but to save the country. When Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, in order to gain the trust of the King of Thailand, he persuaded General Fan Yuqi to sacrifice his head. In the legend of that seed, a warrior from a neighboring country was beheaded by the enemy and sacrificed his life for the prosperity of the motherland. They are all heroes who have left their names in history, while Shen Weijing is just a villain in the market, the most humble and wretched traitor in people's eyes.

But Xiangsi knew that he had made the greatest sacrifice in his life, and his death would not be in vain. Three days have passed, and this head has been sent to Yang Yizhi's hands quickly. Yang Yizhi must have known the secrets in Shen Weijing's head. He must be able to rescue Sunjo before Ping Xiuji notices.The Goryeo Rebels will therefore all unite and accept his leadership.At that time, he had enough strength to fight Zhuo Wangsun and drive the Japanese soldiers back. And Shen Weijing, with his tragic sacrifice, will wash away his stigma of treason and glory. Looking at the gradually dark night outside the window, Xiangsi couldn't help smiling.

What a bright future that is.She can finally do something for this country. Even better is her own future. The princess's second words made her decide to give up assassinating Ping Xiuji and return to Pyongyang. "Zhuo Wangsun has already prepared everything, waiting for you to go back and marry you." This sentence made Acacia wrong for a long time, and before she could believe it, tears filled her eyes. The princess told her that the city of Pyongyang was being decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the White Moon Palace had been newly decorated, and the sky was full of joy.The wedding banners, tassels, carriage frames, and even the bride's auspicious clothes and emerald jewels were all transported from the Central Plains at high speed.In the city of Pyongyang, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, they all prepared grand congratulatory gifts, just waiting for this rare and grand wedding ceremony.

With these conclusive evidences, Xiangsi had to believe that Zhuo Wangsun was preparing for a marriage. his own marriage. Zhuo Wangsun did prepare like this.However, the bride is not her. Xiangsi didn't know this, so she walked towards the wedding with joy. When exchanging clothes, the princess looked at Xiangsi with some flickering eyes. She couldn't help but think of the time when she first met Acacia in the dry well of Tianshou Village a few years ago. That time, this gentle and lotus-like woman also put on her fancy clothes and went to an adventure on her behalf. So in the peach blossoms that were about to fall, she met the man in white, and the two experienced seven years together. Breaking into the company camp, the robbery of the deserted city, the change of the Geng garrison, the construction and destruction of the Sanlian City.

That was originally her legend, but because of this mistake, she missed her whole life. The princess bit her lips lightly, feeling remorseful and emotional. Acacia didn't think of all this.She didn't think that when she wore the princess's costume, she met a man she shouldn't have met.In the subsequent scenes, after the catastrophe, the body was covered with scars, leaving only endless debts, endless feelings, and the cup of poison of forgetting love.She didn't even remember. She only knew that this time, she was wearing the princess's costume, and she was going to walk towards the person she looked up to all her life.Years of waiting, years of dreams are about to come true at this moment.

For some reason, amidst her joy, there was a touch of bitterness. The sky began to overcast again, and the dense clouds were tangled together, forming a dark patch.The rain is entangled in the air, ready to dance a depraved dance. The frame stopped and stopped at Yunwangpo.This is the place where Xiangsi and Yang Yizhi made an appointment to meet. Before Xiangsi left the city, Shen Weijing's head had already been sent out.Yang Yizhi should have known the place where Xuanzu was imprisoned, and he might have rescued Xuanzu. But Xiangsi has other information and wants to tell Yang Yizhi.So before sealing the wax pill, she added a line of words on the note, hoping that Yang Yizhi would meet her here after rescuing Xuanzu. Then, she will go back to Pyongyang to be that man's bride. At this moment, she had a little selfishness. She hoped that after Zhuo Wangsun married her, he would bring her back to the Central Plains.Even for a year, even for a month, even for just a few days, you can temporarily let go of the world and just stay together for each other's happiness. Let this battle be handed over to Yang Yizhi.With this information, with the Goryeo Rebel Army, he will surely win. And there was another reason why she insisted on waiting here for him.There are some things that she must tell him in person before putting on her wedding dress. Say sorry. Maybe he will be disappointed, maybe he will be sad.But, this is fate.There is no future destiny, it must end here. She made up her mind, she couldn't escape, she couldn't hesitate, she had to tell him in person. Thinking of this, Acacia felt a little sad. Suddenly, there was a rush of noise in front of the convoy, and a huge explosion exploded, and several accompanying frames fell to the ground with a clatter like paper. Xiangsi was startled, and hastily opened the sedan door, only to hear a cold and piercing voice said: "Miss Xiangsi, Master asked us to invite you back." A mass of black, a mass of fire, a mass of wind, and a mass of water.Oni Ren and the four of them coldly surrounded Acacia at the core.Just the murderous aura emanating from them made Xiangsi unable to move. It was Jizo who spoke. Xiangsi shook her head: "Impossible, if Hirao Hideyoshi wants me to go back, he must not use this method. Who are you ordering?" Ji Zang was taken aback by her words, his face hidden in the darkness changed, and he suddenly laughed.There is a coldness of hell in his smile: "That's right, Miss Xiangsi, the one who wants to catch you is me!" His hell-like cold tone was suddenly filled with loneliness.He raised his head, as if he wanted to see the sky clearly: "Wang Tu's hegemony became empty because of you..." "The person I hate the most is actually you!" He sternly said: "Do it!" The black horse let out a long neigh, and Jizo turned into a gust of wind, rushing towards Acacia!The bodies of Mizuzo, Huozang, and Fengzang moved at the same time, turning into three arcs and shooting at the followers. The fierce murderous aura enveloped Xiangsi, and under Jizo's full blow, she had no room to fight back. She didn't understand why Dizang hated her.But this situation did not allow her to think at all.She raised her hand suddenly, and the exquisite needles hidden on her body flew out. With the strength of the Linglong Needle, her body retreated rapidly, trying to dodge the thunderous blow with all her strength. Before the Linglong Needle touched the opponent, it turned into dust, and then an extremely violent force, like a mountain collapsing, pressed down on her angrily!Xiangsi groaned, and flew out like a kite with a broken string. Blood, like beads with a broken thread, spilled all over the sky. Dizang sneered, and walked slowly towards Xiangsi.He didn't want to kill her yet, but wanted to catch her and use her as his bargaining chip.It's just that he hated this woman so much that he couldn't help but beat her seriously first. Suddenly, a clear dragon chant came from several miles away.Jizo's leaping figure stopped suddenly. There was a light brushing sound, and a ray of blue light flew towards his eyes. Ksitigarbha was startled, and instinctively waved to catch it, but couldn't help but flinch.He stared at the object in his hand, as if he had forgotten to catch Acacia.Even when Xiangsi fell heavily into the mud beside him, he remained motionless. The other three ninjas were extremely surprised when they saw that he was acting abnormally, they shouted and rushed over. Their bodies shook at the same time. A murderous aura like a mad dragon descended from the sky, spiraling into a huge tornado, trapping them in the middle. Tsing Yi, as if falling from the clouds, landed in front of Sannin.He didn't even look at Sannin, the sleeves of his robe flew out, and Xiangsi's body was lifted up, while the other hand flew out. Feng Zang was the first to bear the brunt, and her reaction was the fastest, with a hissing sound, Liu Yunfei's sleeves turned into two sharp blades, rushing towards everyone angrily.Her weapon is speed.This speed can only be described as lightning fast.Feng Zang believed that in the whole world, no one could return one of the three moves she performed.Not even Master Guan Bai himself! But somehow, her sleeve was already held by the man.The man's wrist sank slightly, and Fengzang was actually thrown into the air by him, and threw him towards Huozang. Huo Zang is not impossible to avoid.But there are rocks behind him, as long as he hides, Fengzang will definitely die.Therefore, he could only use all his strength to catch Fengzang.As soon as his hand touched Feng Zang, a strong force came immediately, like an electric shock, Huo Zang spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body collapsed to the ground. Only water remains.He glanced hesitantly at Jizo. Among the four Oni Ninja, Jizo is the one with the highest martial arts.As long as Ksitigarbha can drive the dark horse and cast a thunderous blow, the two of them may not be unable to fight together. However, Jizo stared blankly at the things in his hands, as if his soul had been drained. It was just a jade box, why did Dizang care so much about it. Mizuzo gritted his teeth, he could only fight by himself. Fortunately, the rain finally came down.Between the heaven and the earth is his weapon - water. He opened his hands.As long as there is water, he is not afraid of anything. However, in an instant, all the rainwater disappeared. Only fog remained. The water within a radius of ten zhang was completely turned into mist by the man's murderous intent, not even a single drop remained.Mizuzo opened his eyes wide in horror, but he could only see one thing. Cyan, like the endless and vast shadow of the sky, slowly approaching, covering everything. Acacia's eyes slowly opened, and there was a blue cloud in front of her eyes, covering the gloomy and cold sky in the distance. Warm and peaceful. In an instant, the pain all over her body couldn't match the joy of reunion, she couldn't help blurting out: "Sir..." Zhuo Wangsun looked at her quietly without speaking. Xiangsi seemed to think of something, and the remaining thousand words were choked in her throat.She lowered her head: "Yes... I'm sorry." Without saying goodbye, he entered the enemy camp without permission.He must be very angry to get himself covered in bruises again, right? Xiangsi bit her lip, and looked at him quietly with the rest of her eyes.The tears of joy have not yet dried up, but they are shrouded in sorrow.Should I be happy or worried?For a while, she didn't know how to control her emotions. Zhuo Wangsun shook his head slowly, motioning her not to speak, but exerted a little force on his hands, hugging her even tighter. Acacia smiled brightly.He seemed to forgive her.In this way, she should listen to him, stop talking, and just enjoy this rare peace. However, she seemed unable to stop the anticipation in her heart, seemed afraid of missing every glance she saw him, and seemed to want to hear him repeat the answer in person. She raised her head slightly and whispered, "Are you here to pick me up?" Zhuo Wangsun didn't know how to answer for a moment. She waited quietly, looking forward carefully, like a haggard flower, blooming in her transparent and trembling eyes. Only a few days of parting made her haggard so much.Between her picturesque eyebrows, there is still a sad expression left by day and night worrying, on the snow-like skin, there are still stains of mud and blood, and even on the back of her slender hands, there are still faint spots red marks. He hesitated and nodded slightly. A bright red smile appeared on her pale face.Just like a withered lotus, it is nourished by the spring rain again and blooms again. At that moment, her joy was so pure.It was so pure that Zhuo Wangsun didn't even have time to care about it, she was waiting for another person at that time.Those frustrations, doubts, and anger all turned into dust in this smile. His heart ached and he hugged her tightly. Lovesickness is no longer felt.This smile seemed to drain all her strength. After days of tossing and turning, she finally fell asleep in his arms. When Yang Yizhi rushed to Yunwang City, he only saw a few broken frames lying on the side of the road, blood stains and traces of fighting. Acacia is not there. The grass on the side of the road had scorched marks, and Yang Yizhi's hand touched the scorched marks lightly.That was no ordinary fire.The shadow of the fiery figure flashed before his eyes. Hizo! He looked up, and there were horseshoe prints scattered on the ground, huge horseshoe prints.Those are not owned by ordinary horses. Only demon horses from hell can leave such a large hoofprint. Ksitigarbha! Yang Yizhi's heart suddenly tightened.Obviously, before he arrived, the four Ghost Ninjas had been here. Has Xiangsi been taken back to Seoul by them? Yang Yizhi stood up and looked to the south.There, hidden by thick clouds, was a cage that claimed to be unfallen. Tianshou Pavilion. Acacia must have been imprisoned there again.Hirao Hideyoshi dispatched Onishoki and four people to take her back, apparently because Acacia knew too many of his secrets. Will he kill Xiangsi? Yang Yizhi raised his figure and ran towards the south! The gloomy night shrouded the entire city of Seoul. When Yang Yizhi sneaked in, no one found his trace. The breeze and the bright moon have never attracted attention. He quietly approached the castle tower. The Tianshou Pavilion was strangely quiet tonight, which was beyond his expectation - does this mean that there is nothing worth guarding in the Tianshou Pavilion?This guess made him suddenly nervous, turned into a frightened bird, and plundered into the Tianshou Pavilion. Even if it is an iron wall, a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, he will break in! To his shock, there was no one in the castle tower. Not a single person. All organs are turned off.This taboo place in Seoul has turned into a smooth road. Yang Yizhi was full of doubts.He made his way to the top step by step. seventh floor. The light green tassel hangs on the curling tea smoke, and she is picturesque, sitting behind the tassel, holding a tea bowl. Yang Yizhi choked suddenly. Although he could only see the back, he recognized that the clothes were indeed worn by Acacia. In an instant, his tense heartstrings were relaxed.Anyway, she's fine. "Hello." A voice sounded behind him. Yang Yizhi suddenly turned his head. Hira Hideyoshi sat in front of the tea table and looked at him with a smile.The extremely wide sleeves of the robe dragged on the ground, as if spreading a new snow.A bunch of red plums is slantedly embroidered on the bottom of the sleeve, and the plum blossoms are floating on the snow-white gauze, revealing the loneliness from ancient times. The light of the Sword of Time looms in an instant.But Hirao Hideyoshi did not show any hostility, and sat calmly, drinking the tea in his cup. "A good guest is coming, can I have a cup of tea?" He smiled and beckoned Yang Yizhi to sit down.Yang Yizhi stood still, he couldn't figure out what Hera Hideyoshi was trying to do. Hirao Hideyoshi sighed: "Since you don't want to drink tea, please go back and don't send it away." Yang Yizhi still didn't move, suddenly, he raised his finger and pointed at Xiangsi: "I want to take her away." Hira Hideyoshi's smile was still so silent: "Please go ahead." A moment of doubt flashed between Yang Yizhi's eyebrows.Is it that easy? He walked towards Acacia, and suddenly felt that he couldn't find anything. It was a very strange feeling, as if he was not close to her.His heart is still empty, without the slightest joy of reaching the other shore. He frowned.At this moment, Acacia turned around. Yang Yizhi froze for an instant. That is not lovesickness, but the princess.A princess in a lovesick dress. what the hell is it? The princess looked at him with joy. He came to rescue her single-handedly.There are hundreds of thousands of powerful enemies outside, and he is alone, just to save her. This was just like the scene she had imagined thousands of times, he entered and exited seven times in the enemy camp, covered in blood, just to save her.She had imagined this legendary past countless times.Every time, with fascination, I describe his heroic appearance, but I can't help but feel a little lost. This should have belonged to her, but it was only given to another woman by chance. Fortunately, none of this matters anymore.Everything that fate owed her was finally compensated at this moment. Before she knew it, tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't notice the froze expression on his face, and she also forgot that she was wearing the lovesick clothes.She was so absorbed in her own joy that she forgot about the world. She suddenly threw herself into Yang Yizhi's arms: "Are you here to save me?" The soft arms wrapped tightly around Yang Yizhi, as if once possessed, they would never let go. Yang Yizhi couldn't bear to push her away.He never hurt anyone, he can only hurt himself. He could only sigh deep in his heart, and took a step back slightly: "Your Royal Highness." "How will you be here?" The princess smiled.It was her masterpiece.She ostentatiously told Yang Yizhi all the ins and outs. Hirao Hideyoshi was also listening quietly. Hearing the princess said that she had exchanged with Xiangsi, Xiangsi went out of the city, and had an appointment with Yang Yizhi, Ping Xiuji suddenly said: "According to my subordinates, Miss Xiangsi did not see Leader Yang. She entered Pyongyang City with Zhuo Wangsun." "Because she believes that Zhuo Wangsun is the one who married her." "Interestingly, Zhuo Wangsun did not deny this." Yang Yi was startled, this sentence made him feel a little uneasy, and quietly pushed the princess away. He looked at the distant sky, and the gloomy weather made people feel oppressed. Zhuo Wangsun wants to marry Acacia. This was what he had longed for.He once simply believed that as long as Acacia is happy, he will be happy.If Xiangsi chooses Zhuo Wangsun, then he will do his best to help Xiangsi get his love. However, when this day really came, he actually felt so much heartache. At this moment, he was so selfish that he wanted to abandon the whole world, dignity, morality, so-called purity and holiness, just to have her. He didn't allow anyone to take her away. He raised his head slowly, and the moonlight shone through the window lattice, shining on his face like running water, revealing his deep shock. On the one hand, he was shocked by the how and the filth in his heart.On the other hand, he never believed that this wedding would really be the happiness of lovesickness. It all came so easy, too easy to believe. At this moment, he seemed to hear the mocking laughter of fate. He slowly pushed the princess away: "Princess, I can't take you away." The princess's face was full of shock: "Why?" "Only here is safe, I can't protect you." He didn't have the confidence to rescue the princess from the siege of Hirai Hideyoshi and 100,000 Japanese soldiers. Moreover, he had to go to a place, and he didn't have the time and ability to place the princess.Hirao Hideyoshi obviously didn't intend to harm the princess, so he can rest assured. There was a trace of panic on the princess's face, and she grabbed him with her backhand: "No, don't leave me behind!" Yang Yizhi shook his head slowly: "When this matter is over, I will definitely come to pick you up." There was a trace of determination in his eyes, which made the princess let go of her hand involuntarily. Yang Yizhi bowed to Hira Hideyoshi and disappeared at the stairs. She was at a loss, as if she had lost something.His leaving footsteps seemed to step on her heart, bringing an empty echo. Hira Hideyoshi did not stop him, but picked up a bowl of tea and watched all this quietly. "Do you know where he's going?" The princess shook her head. "Pyongyang." The princess's body shook.Ping Xiuji said lightly: "You should know who he went to find in Pyongyang." The princess suddenly turned her head and looked at him. Hira Hideyoshi's eyes were as deep as a deep pool at night, and he couldn't see the meaning contained in them clearly.But his words made her feel uneasy. "He already has a choice..." He sighed leisurely.The long sigh has a slightly cool touch in the rainy night, like a withered chrysanthemum in the wind. The princess bit her lip tightly.A faint smell came from between her teeth, and she suddenly understood what he chose. She suddenly stood up, looking straight at Hira Hideyoshi sternly. Ping Hideyoshi said leisurely: "I said, if you want to leave, I will never stop you." Seeing the figure of the princess disappearing into the darkness, Hirao Hideyoshi smiled slowly. When Acacia was away, he ordered tea by himself. The chaotic candlelight shines through the green gauze, reflecting the shadows behind him.With his gentle movements, his long sleeves were unrolled like clouds, and shadows intertwined with each other, like a silent Noh play. Silently, but the performance was thrilling and prosperous.
