My breathing also sank.

Is there anyone behind the mountain?

Could it be that-

I lowered my head and looked at Yan Wuyu. His pale face had completely lost its blood at this moment. He even had no color on his lips, with a faint blue gray glow on his face. He looked calm and relaxed.

Is he... the one who left behind the mountain?

The person behind the mountain is—

I was shocked, and Pei Yuanxiu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly raised his head and said to Xie Feng: "Send cavalry, you come here in person, and you must capture them back!"

“…”

"If he escapes, come and see you!"

I have never seen him as harsh as he spoke. Although he was arbitrarily dispatching Xie Feng, he kept a moderate distance and never really regarded him as his subordinate. Xie Feng also maintained some of his own position. At this moment, when he heard his angry order, Xie Feng frowned, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded, turned around and turned over and rode over with a group of people.

The snowflakes stirred by horse hooves are flying in the wind.

Pei Yuanxiu only looked at us and said nothing. He immediately walked towards the foot of the mountain. Everyone around him immediately followed, only Hua Zhu and Yunshan. They stood around at a loss and surrounded us with a team of soldiers.

I was still immersed in the shock just now and didn't come back to my senses. Until I heard Yan Wuyu coughing lightly. When I looked down, I saw a lot of blood foam in his mouth, dyeing all his clothes red.

I immediately called him: "Speak without desire!"

He gasped and said with difficulty: "It seems that we can't escape today."

We? He said-

I hurriedly said, "You did this just to give the people behind the mountain a chance to escape, right?"

He glanced at me, then lowered his head silently.

I closed my eyes in pain.

No one really wants to treat himself as a target. He rushed out like this just now, probably because he wanted to hijack Pei Yuanxiu and give the people on the mountain a chance to escape, but he didn't expect to kill Nangong Jinhong by accident. The whereabouts of those people were discovered so quickly. If they were really caught, they would die in vain, and he would...

My heart was so irritating. When I opened my eyes and looked at him, my whole breath was also messed up. Yan Wuyu saw my anxiety. He said softly: "But there is one thing that I can rest assured."

“…!”

I looked at him with wide eyes.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Emperor, you have already left."

What?!

I looked at him in shock. After a while, I seemed to have reacted - the emperor has left, but now the person who escaped can actually make him pay the price for his life in exchange for a chance to escape. Could it be that?

I lowered my voice: "That person is, too-"

He nodded and sighed: "He deserves his life. The old Taoist is going against the will of heaven. I don't know what the result is."

Should he be decisive? Go against the will of heaven?

At this time, Yan Wuyu opened his eyes and looked at me. His breath was already very weak. His voice intermittently said: "Miss Yan, many things are irreversible. If you want to protect yourself, you must leave him and go back to Xichuan."

“…”

"Emperor, you should be waiting for you there."

“…”

"And what I just said, my master's affairs-" He twitched slightly and said, "It is very likely that the answer will be in Xichuan."

I suddenly opened my eyes wide and looked at him.

"What did you say?!"

Compared to my astonishment, he seemed a little depressed, as if he had no strength to even hold up his eyelids and open his eyes. Only then did I feel that the thin body in my arms was no longer warm at all. Apart from a little blood red, there was only a faint, relieved smile left on the corners of my pale lips.

My heart suddenly sank into the abyss.

"No desire to speak..."

“…”

"No desire to speak..."

“…”

"Speak without desire!"

Seeing that he had no response, my voice started to grow loudly without being controlled, almost crying. The next moment, he slowly opened his eyes. The eyes, which were originally extremely clear, were still not stained with any dust at this moment, but instead added an incredible smile.

He said: "The old Taoist has been practicing for so many years, but he still cannot see through it or see through it."

I was stunned. I thought he had already—but I didn’t expect that he opened his eyes again and said this, and he was suddenly at a loss: “You have no desire to speak, you—”

Instead of speaking, he raised his hand very hard and reached into his arms. Because of the arrows in his chest, even if he breathed once, he would say a word or move, it would bring severe pain that ordinary people could not bear. At this time, he even reached out to the thing in his arms. Even if he was as determined as him, I saw cold sweat falling from his head like rain. After exploring for a long time, he took out a special fire note from his arms and handed it to me, and said softly: "I'll ask Miss Yan for this stinky skin of the old Taoist."

“…”

I suddenly understood what he meant.

My eyes, which were already a little wet, were immediately filled with tears this time. Although I knew that some people could not keep, some things could not be saved, and some debts needed to be paid, but seeing such a living person die and hearing his explanation, I still couldn't suppress my sorrow in my heart.

Why is life happy in a person? Why is death bitter?

I gritted my teeth and almost spasm-like fingers, and Yan Wuyu looked at me with his dark eyes that seemed to be able to see through all the joys and sorrows in the world. Then, as a gust of cold wind blew from the foot of the mountain, the light like a spark in his eyes blew and extinguished.

He slowly closed his eyes.

...

This time, I didn't call his name again.

Because I know that no matter how much I shout, he will never wake up again.

Even the smelly skin that I can't give up has been handed over to me, and even the last secret in my heart has been told to me. What else does he have to be attached to?

I slowly put him on the snow and stood up again, because I had been kneeling for too long, my feet were already a little numb. Seeing me shaking twice, Hua Zhu, who was standing behind me, hurried forward to support me, but I gently pushed her hand away with my hand.

I glanced at the Taoist covered in blood again, then lit the fire note he gave and threw it on him.

It was originally just a little flame, but when it was thrown on him for some reason, the flames suddenly surging, instantly swallowing him, and burning violently in front of him.

Hua Zhu and Yunshan were quick-eyed and pulled me back.

I looked at the burning fire, and the tears that had already fallen were instantly burned by the hot temperature that was close to me.
