Dust and Ember Song

Chapter 48

"Don't say any more words, you have to step back!" Zhong Yan yelled loudly.

"Your Majesty... Caibao is dying..." Hurriedly then knelt down on the ground, crying, "One of the teams sent by Your Majesty to search for Youyuan got the news, and it was the team led by Caibao who was killed on the way. attack..."

Zhong Yan clutched his wound and asked in a weak tone, "Where is the treasure?"

"It's right at the gate of the palace. It's covered with scars. I'm afraid it won't be long."

"It is inconvenient for Your Majesty to use demonic techniques, so I will immediately send someone to bring the treasure over." Seeing Zhong Yan about to get up, he hastily stopped him.

At this moment, Fugui was gloomy, and when he walked into the bedroom, it was as uncomfortable as stepping on charcoal fire.

He knelt heavily, his face was very sad, and seeing Zhong Yan injured, he was almost desperate, "Boss, what's wrong with you... how did you get hurt...Boss, boss, the treasure is gone..."

As soon as the words fell, it kowtowed to Zhong Yan.

Zhong Yan didn't want to believe it. Not long ago, Cai Bao made delicious cakes for him to eat. He liked Cai Bao's craftsmanship very much. He never thought that Cai Bao was an unintelligent monster. It's silly, but its heart is not stupid at all, it is a very kind and cute monster.

Before Cai Bao was named a demon envoy by him, he had a miserable life. After being bullied, he refused to fight back, so he hid in the cave alone, and only came out when everyone left.If it encounters a stone with sharp horns on the ground, it will bury it deeply, so as not to hurt some monsters with poor cultivation and bad eyesight, it...

Caibao once asked, why did you give me this name?

Zhong Yan told him that everyone likes gold, silver and wealth, and that wealth is a very noble name...

"Who did it?"

"Nine times out of ten, they are people from the ghost world..." Fugui looked at Zhijin suddenly, and seemed a little difficult to say, "He was imprisoned in a cage in Bishan."

"How could it be in Bishan..."

Zhijin's eyes were dry, because she couldn't shed tears, her heart ached from the pain, she murmured repeatedly, "I'm imprisoned in a cage, I'm imprisoned in a cage, I'm imprisoned in a cage..."

"Zhizhi." Zhong Yan called her.

She couldn't hear the call, so she covered her ears and knelt down.

"You go back first..."

After hearing this, Fugui stood up, seeing that Hurry had no intention of leaving, and wanted to help her up, she gave a wry smile, got up and walked out.

"Zhizhi." He called her again, seeing that she still had no response, he bravely walked towards her, and fell to the ground after only one step.

Zhijin slowly raised his head, and Zhong Yan in front of him fell to the ground, enduring the pain, and smirking at her, the blood flowing from the wound drowned a flower on the ground.

She said softly, "So I am the evil star."

Thousands of years ago, what kind of unforgivable crime did I commit? Why didn't I take my own life when I was thrown into a remote and nameless valley?
"What are you thinking?" Zhong Yan became even more worried when he saw her so dull. A woman like her would always blame herself for all her mistakes.

"I was thinking, after living for thousands of years, I always feel that being alive is too much trouble for others."

He touched her cheek and found that the blood on his palm was still there. He immediately withdrew his hand, but was held by Zhijin, with an unavoidable gaze, "Tell me, where is Bishan?"

"Bishan is the radius of Yuezhou, Yuezhou tiger is not easy to offend, I will deal with this matter, you don't care about it."

Zhijin sighed, unable to bear Zhongyan lying on the cold ground, so he lifted him up and walked slowly towards the bed.

She sat on the edge, thought for a long time, and finally said, "Zhong Yan, you have just heard about my past, I am not worthy of your love, and I will not love you."

"I know, you won't love me, you have someone else in your heart."

"How...how do you know?" She was surprised.

"I guess the important minister who placed you in the heavenly court as Xian'e should be your beloved."

"He and I are people from two realms after all, no matter how much we love each other, we will never be together..." Zhijin held his palm, "Zhongyan, I must go to Bishan, because Youyuan saved me My life, I will pay him back."

"Then let me tell you, if you go to Bishan, I will follow."

Zhijin was speechless, and lowered her head, both her and Zhong Yan's hands were covered in blood, which was shocking.

"The tiger of Yuezhou is cruel and ruthless. If you go alone, not only will you not be able to save Youyuan, but you will also die in Bishan."

"Zhongyan, are you still in pain?"

"With you here, I feel at ease and don't feel much pain." He said jokingly, "Do you want to apply medicine for me? If there is a scar left by this knife, how can I go to the open-air spring to take a bath in the future."

He thought she would refuse, and blamed him for being unscrupulous and always joking, but he never thought that she would agree and eagerly asked where the medicine was.

"There are too many medicine bottles, I can't remember the effect of each bottle, and Dun Bei didn't write it down." He pointed to a cabinet not far from the bed, "The wooden box on the third shelf."

Zhijin took back the plain wooden box, feeling that the box should not be used by Zhong Yan, who likes to be fancy.

Zhong Yan saw her doubts, and said, "The box belongs to that kid, Du Bei, too."

"Is Dunbei the little demon boy you mentioned in a hurry?"

"Yes, very knowledgeable little demon boy. He left here many years ago to go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers."

"Hurry is still ignorant, always reckless, don't worry about it." He knew that Hurry had hurt her deeply.

"It should be this bottle."

"You know medicine?" Zhong Yanjianzhijin said pleasantly after finding the medicine bottle that could heal sword wounds from the smell of each medicine bottle.

"I know a little about some herbs."

He took off his shirt, during which, due to the pulling of the wound, cold sweat gushed out.

Zhijin carefully applied the medicine for him, "I want to do something for the treasure."

"As for the treasure, I will personally go to Yuezhou Tiger to find out. If you stay here, I can safely avenge Caibao and the others." He knew that she would never owe anyone anything.

"Zhongyan, if you die for me..."

He held her wrist and said softly, "I will definitely not make you worry."

After applying the medicine, Zhijin wanted to go back to her living room, but Zhong Yan pulled her into the bed and hugged her.

"Zhizhi, sleep with me just for this one night, okay?" He himself felt that he was pushing the envelope, but he thought, who knows what will happen after tonight, just keep her at this moment.

"it is good."

He kissed her forehead and promised her, "Don't worry, I will rescue Youyuan and avenge those dead demon slaves. Just stay here and see me come back safely."

"Zhongyan, thank you..."

"I also thank you for letting me have my heart in this life. It feels good."

"Do you know, when I first saw you, I thought you were beautiful, but at the same time I thought you were annoying, so unreasonable, I thought you were the thickest-skinned person in the world."

"The way you deliberately please me is so humble, you don't look like a demon at all."

"But I thought about it. You never really hurt me. You treated me very well. I didn't know you for a long time, but I told you what I wanted from the bottom of my heart."

In his warm embrace, Zhijin shed the paranoid and alienated carapace of thinking about Xingjun and pretending to be strong, as if he had no scruples about going to death tomorrow, "Zhongyan, I still want to tell you...he let me Waiting for him, but I don't want to, I want to go back to my hometown..."
