Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 677 The Death of Jingsheng
who?

I was startled, I stretched out my hand to grab the eaves, lying on top of it, and the throwing knife shot out instantly.

With a ding, the flying knife sank into the eaves, but there was no one there...

I was stunned immediately, I'm sure I saw it just now, there was indeed a person there, but the person disappeared in such a short time, this is impossible!

My eyes have been chasing him, it is impossible for him to escape.

I just feel my scalp go numb, does that mean - what I saw just now is actually a ghost?

ghost……

I took a deep breath, I actually believed it, but Lao Yan said that there are no ghosts in this world, whether it is the zongzi we encountered or all kinds of strange things, it is all caused by some human factors, that is to say, there are no ghosts in this world. It can be explained, but this clearly cannot be explained...

How can something just disappear while I'm staring at it?
I didn't dare to imagine, so I froze there for a while, until I heard a shrill cry.

What happened?

My mind was blank, and I looked down blankly, only to see that the crossbow bolt stopped at some point, a group of people surrounded it, and someone was crying...

Who?
I didn't dare to think too much, so I slid down the climbing rope and rushed to the crowd, only to see a figure lying there with bloodstains all over his body.

Jingsheng...

When did he run here?

Isn't he almost leaving the palace under the protection of Minister Hou?

In the end what happened?
I don't understand. To be precise, I can't turn my mind anymore. I just feel like something happened, but I can't react to what it is.

It was Hou Chengcheng who was crying, and she was crying heartbreakingly, as if the sky was falling apart.

Everyone else surrounded them, and no one could say any words of comfort, including Minister Hou.

Jingsheng has just come out of the tunnel, he has just resolved the misunderstanding of Minister Hou, and he still has the ability to enter 701, he will definitely be able to live a better life in the future, at least he can live the rest of his life in peace, but now But he was already lying here, unconscious...

He kept spitting plasma out of his mouth, and wanted to reach out to hold Hou Chengcheng's hand, but he couldn't lift his hand no matter what.

I wanted to ask what happened, but I couldn't ask, my throat was stuffed with cotton, and I couldn't make a sound at all.

Hou Chengcheng was still crying, she spoke intermittently, I listened carefully, it should be the stories that happened to them when they were young, Jing Sheng’s eyes were calm, it’s not very suitable for such a doll’s face, so it looks even more It makes people feel sad.

How could something happen to him?
In my impression, no matter what, he shouldn't have an accident. I can see that Minister Hou is very careful when protecting them, for fear that they will get hurt a little.

And they are the closest to the gate of the palace, how could they come here?

A series of doubts in my heart made people want to explore more and more in Hou Chengcheng's choked voice, but I knew I shouldn't explore now.

By the way, where is Miss Qiu?
I glanced around, and Miss Qiu is indeed not here. If such a big thing happened, if she was still in this palace, she would definitely be able to see it, but why didn't she appear.

"Xiaocheng..." Minister Hou tried to call out, but Hou Chengcheng ignored him, just hugged Jingsheng and kept talking, crying while talking.Jingsheng still listened to her at first, and sometimes could respond to her a few words. Although the voice of the response was low and inaudible, he was not dead after all.

Kumbu and Yazai are also trying their best to rescue him, but there is so much blood under Jingsheng's body that it is impossible to stop it, that is to say, he can't save him at all...

Finally, Jingsheng didn't respond anymore, but Hou Chengcheng's voice still didn't stop, and he was still narrating that the only few years they were together made the two of them have a very close connection.

Yazai looked at Hou Chengcheng with a strange expression on his face, but he couldn't say a word.

Jingsheng's last breath also disappeared, but Hou Chengcheng still didn't stop. We listened silently and followed her into emotions, unable to come out for a long time.

"Father."

In the end, it was Hou Chengcheng who broke the silence first. She called out to Minister Hou, and Minister Hou responded immediately, asking her what's wrong?
Hou Chengcheng hugged Jingsheng without looking at Minister Hou, and said with an extremely calm attitude: "I don't know what happened to you back then, but I only know that Jingsheng is my brother, and now he died for you Here, I hope you can give him a title."

I was shocked, not because of the title, but because Jingsheng died for Minister Hou?

Minister Hou looked puzzled, but finally nodded: "This is what father should do, Xiao Cheng, if I had known this earlier..."

"Needless to say, Uncle Lao Yan, do you have a way to cremate him?" Hou Chengcheng directly interrupted Minister Hou's words, and asked Lao Yan instead.

We all know what Hou Chengcheng meant. It is unlikely that the corpse will be taken out. The most important thing is to try to take the ashes out after cremation.

Lao Yan naturally wouldn't refuse, 701 has such a method that can cremate a corpse in the shortest time, so after hearing Hou Chengcheng's words, Lao Yan didn't say anything, just called us for help.

I didn't know what to say the whole time, I just watched them busy, and my whole body was in a state of numbness.

Until the cremation is complete...

"Changan, do you want to know how Jingsheng died?" Yazai asked me suddenly.

I could tell by the way he was not asking me, but that he needed someone to talk to, as if all his emotions were about to collapse, and he was going crazy if I didn't let him talk.

So I nodded, of course I also want to know.

Yazai dragged me to the side, looked at Hou Chengcheng who was picking up the ashes, and said slowly: "I killed him."

what?
Didn't Hou Chengcheng just say that Minister Hou died because of it?
Yazai wiped his face, I thought he was about to cry, but he didn't, not only didn't he cry, but he smiled, but this smile made people feel a little uneasy, and then he began to tell what happened just now.

Following the boy's narration, I gradually became serious.

Just now, Yazai tried to find the location of the mechanism in the terracotta warriors and horses, and finally hesitated in the remaining two terracotta warriors and horses. From the results, he chose the right one, but he would rather choose the wrong one.

Because the price of choosing the right one is the sudden firing of the crossbow near the door, Minister Hou is protecting Jingsheng and Hou Chengcheng to retreat outside the palace, and he will be the first to bear the brunt of the shot!
Because Jingsheng has been paying attention to Minister Hou, he was the first to see the crossbow arrows. He directly pushed Minister Hou away, and was hit by several arrows. When Kunbu and the others pulled out the arrows for Jingsheng, his internal organs were torn, and the blood could not stop Stay, and finally leave.

Yazai didn't know what to do, he just thought that if he didn't make a choice, perhaps Jingsheng wouldn't die, or if he chose another one, maybe the agency would stop in peace, instead of needing a price like now !
