It was dark all around, and the dense forest on both sides of the road made a rustling sound as it was hit by the heavy rain. Although it was washed by the rain, Li Yi could still smell the thick smell of blood. The stench of blood made people nauseous. She crouched on the horse's back and ran quickly along a forest path. The bodyguards behind him covered him with all their might and kept shooting arrows. However, the horses were in a hurry, and the rain was pouring, putting them at a disadvantage. There were soldiers who were shot down from their horses and rolled on the muddy ground. Before they could get up, they were killed by the pursuing soldiers.
They fled and killed all the way until Li Yi was the only one left. He was exhausted. She looked behind her and saw Bai Zhentang laughing wildly,"Li Yi, you can't escape. As long as you obediently accept your death!" Grandpa, I can leave your corpse intact.”
"Complete corpse!" Li Yi sneered. Why did she need an intact corpse? In ancient times, people still valued whether the corpse was intact after death and paid attention to burial. He believed that if a person did not have a complete corpse after death, even if they went to the underworld, they would not be able to reincarnate because of the incomplete corpse. However, in the modern world, it was a form of cremation. There were also people who donated their organs to other people who needed them. Why would he care about this? If they were to surrender now and let these soldiers find out that it was a woman, they might even be humiliated before they died. It was better to be shot to death. He just didn't know how the Matriarch was doing, and whether the Li family's personal guards had successfully brought everyone through the Ghost Forest. It was better to stall for more time. If she could save the Li family, she would be able to live up to the real Li Yi. She did not use her body for nothing and lived for a few more days.
"Hmph, Li Yi, this is your death zone!”Bai Zhentang shouted and shot out an arrow.
Li Yi only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. His entire body was unstable and he fell off the horse. He fell heavily into the muddy water and rolled around with the mud of the rain, making him look extremely miserable.
She gritted her teeth and endured the intense pain as her horse galloped along the path. Bai Zhentang's 500 soldiers surrounded her.
They sat on their high horses and laughed proudly. They surrounded her warhorse and panted heavily as they paced. He did not need many. Just these warhorses alone would kill Li Yi.
Bai Zhentang pulled the reins and said contemptuously,"Li Yi, this is your burial ground. The place you chose is not bad. There are mountains in the distance and trees nearby. It can be considered a treasure land with good Feng Shui.”
Li Yi looked at Bai Zhentang and chuckled. She knew that there was no way out. She could only die. If that was the case, why were they still afraid? Why were they still begging for mercy? Even if she died, she had to die honorably, not giving the person who killed her any chance to laugh at her.
"I should also thank Thousand Households Bai for bringing so many people to see me off. He's really filial!”
Bai Zhentang glared at Li Yi fiercely. His eyes flickered, and his expression relaxed. He smiled and said,"As expected of General Li's son. Even on his deathbed, he didn't forget to play the hero. Considering that General Li and I are somewhat fated, I will give you the time to brew a cup of tea today and let you say your fill!”
"Ten minutes!" Li Yi was in so much pain that his entire body was weak. He could not help but tremble. The bean-sized sweat on his forehead melted with the rain and flowed down his cheeks. It flowed into the corner of his mouth, cold and bitter. She didn't know what else she had to say in her final moments. Did the strange brother send her to this place? She didn't want to leave with her hatred for her brother. He loved her so much, but this time, he made a serious mistake. Not only did this mistake cost her her life, but it would also become a pain in her brother's heart that would never be erased. She missed home so much. She missed her father and mother. He did not know if there were really ghosts in this world, or if there really was an underworld. If she had her soul, would it be Tang Xiaoyu or Li Yi? If she died, would she be able to go home, see her family, and leave without any worries?
Bai Zhentang tightened his reins and mocked,"What's wrong, Lord Li? Are you so scared that you peed your pants and can't say a word? Quite a few words."
The other soldiers echoed with laughter.
Li Yi was a little speechless. The cold rain had already drenched her entire body, and she was so cold that her teeth were chattering. The pain in his shoulder was even more unbearable. However, looking at the little person in front of him being so smug, he was really unhappy.
She raised her arm strenuously and wiped the rain off her face. She looked around at the hideous soldiers. She raised her head and sang with all her might.
" A brave man of ten thousand miles is a chivalrous man
Spring comes and autumn goes, tossing and turning the blue blood and yellow sand
With a wave of my hand, a smile spreads to the world
Infatuated love often adds up to lofty sentiments
The sky is boundless and the earth is boundless
There are even more people with infinite hearts
Wind and clouds swallow and swallow, ordinary things
The winner laughs in the end."
Bai Zhentang was so angry that his face turned green. He gritted his teeth and pulled out an arrow. He aimed it at Li Yi's heart and said mockingly,"The winner is the one who has the last laugh. I want to see who will have the last laugh.”
Li Yi slowly closed his eyes. The rain was her best sacrifice, and the sound of the rain, the sound of the trees, the sound of the wind, and the sound of arrows flying in the air were her elegy.
In an instant, she relaxed her nerves and her body fell into darkness.
If she had another chance to live, she swore to live well. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she would work hard to live on.
It turned out that human life was so fragile, and death was so desolate and sad.
"It hurts!" She was in a daze and her entire person fell into darkness. She didn't know where she was. Was she in the netherworld? But why did he still feel so much pain in his shoulder even after he died? It was so cold here. It was as cold as the winter in the north, as if it would freeze people alive.
A warm hand held her hand. Even a little warmth made her want it so much. She pulled the hand hard and placed it on her face.
It was as if she was being hugged by someone. A broad arm and a warm embrace. There was also the smell of herbal soup that kept drilling into her nose.
She fell asleep peacefully. She didn't know how long she had slept for, but she slowly regained consciousness. She opened her eyes and looked around.
There was a big hole in the broken roof. She could see the stars in the sky. Those stars did not change because of her. They were still hanging in the sky and blinking. The surroundings were illuminated red by the light of the bonfire. The walls were covered in dust and there were gray nets. It should be a house that had been abandoned for a long time. There was a bonfire burning in the middle of the room. There was a blackened pot hanging on a simple wooden frame. It was unknown what was cooking, but it was constantly steaming.
A man wearing a black mask, dressed in black clothes that martial artists often wore when they fought, sat beside the bonfire and faced her. He lowered his head, picked up a spoon, and scooped the contents of the pot into a bowl.
Li Yi struggled to get up and pulled the wound. Another wave of pain came, but it was not as intense as before. Only then did he realize that the wound had been treated. It seemed that she was not dead yet. She wanted to speak, but her throat was so dry that she could not make a sound.
She struggled to support her body and sat up. She let out a weak and broken voice." You…saved…me? Thank…you?"
"Don't move. Drink the porridge." The man walked over and handed the bowl to Li Yi.
Li Yi took the bowl with difficulty. Looking at the steaming porridge, his heart ached. It was a narrow escape! But how should he proceed in the future? Had the Li Clan already arrived at Taihe Prefecture? Had they been punished for abandoning the city with them?
He should go to Taihe Prefecture and ask around. If they weren't convicted, they would be safe. It was better for him not to appear. Sun Zhiyang already knew that he was a woman. If he told anyone, not only would he die, but the Li family would also be punished for deceiving the emperor and their entire family would be executed. As long as he did not appear, even if he said it, there would be no evidence to punish the Li family. But where should he go if he left? How should he live?
"Your father is the Changsheng General, Li Changsheng?”The man asked. His voice was low and emotionless.
Li Yi looked at him warily. He did not know if this person was a friend or foe, or if he had any other motives for saving him. But no matter what it was. Everyone in the world knew that Li Changsheng had a son, and he was the Prefecture Overseer of Pingjin State. He had saved her and even treated her wounds, so he should have known that she was a woman. How could a woman be Li Changsheng's child?
"No, you've got the wrong person."
"Is that so? If you are not Li Yi, you will die.”
As the man spoke, the sword in his hand was shining with a cold light. It was already pressed against Li Yi's throat, and she could clearly feel its coldness. She was so shocked that her hair stood on end. It seemed that she really did not get along with the Great Zhou. There had been people who wanted to kill him several times, and now even this savior wanted his life. If they were lucky enough to survive today, they should really burn more incense and pray to Buddha.
"Are you Li Yi?"
"Does the Li family have a grudge against you?" The novel network didn't jump.
The man put away his sword and sat down beside the bonfire again. "The Li family has already arrived at the Taihe Prefecture. What plans do you have in the future?”
Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this person was not an enemy of the Li family. If his enemy heard him ask this question, he would definitely kill him. Why would he talk nonsense with him?
"I want to take a look at the Grand Peace Prefecture first. Where is this place?”The novel network didn't jump.
The man hesitated for a moment and said in a gentle tone,"This is an abandoned farmhouse outside the Taihe Prefecture, not far from it. You…you…are not suitable to be an official. You should leave after visiting your family.”
"I don't know where to go after leaving home.”
The man took a branch and snapped it with a crack before placing it in the fire.
"Find a remote place and live a simple life.”
Li Yi did not say anything. He looked at the burning bonfire and asked lazily,"You saved my life and haven't told me your name yet. I will repay your kindness.”
"No need. I still have something to do. I'll send you to Taihe Prefecture tomorrow. In the future…you'll have to take care of yourself!”
"Thank you!"
The man was silent. Li Yi could not see his face, so he did not know what his expression was. After a moment of silence, Li Yi fell asleep again. The room was very cold, and it was so cold that she curled up her body, and her teeth could not help but tremble.
Footsteps sounded in her ears. She could feel the man putting a shirt on her and touching her forehead. However, she did not have the strength to open her eyes. Her head was heavy and she fell asleep again.
