Chapter 134 Half-dead is still alive
Chapter 134 Half-dead is still alive
Seeing Jiang Shouyan like this, Jiang Tunan believed it most of the time.
I originally thought that I could never go back to my original world, but now that there is a way to go back, I have to give it a try no matter what.
"Isn't it just a vicious female supporting role? It can't faze me at all. I feel so strong now."
Jiang Tunan perked up again, looking full of energy.
"If it doesn't work, I can also be the evil male supporting role."
Jiang Shouyan: Okay, okay, is this how you promote me?
Facing Jiang Shouyan's indescribable gaze, Jiang Tunan asked,
"But since I'm going to change the character's original plot trajectory, I have to know what his original trajectory was, right?"
Jiang Shouyan spoke in a mysterious tone.
"Have you forgotten your dream?"
Jiang Tunan suddenly realized at this moment that her prophetic dream turned out to be because of Jiang Shouyan. However, when she thought of the unclear hints in the dream, Jiang Tunan suddenly felt a little upset.
Jiang Shouyan walked a few steps to the side, then waved his hand, and rows of candles appeared in front of Jiang Tunan. She had seen this scene in her previous dreams.
"A candle represents a soul bound to the plot, and when their ending of early death changes, their candle will light up."
Jiang Tunan nodded thoughtfully, pointing to the lit candles and said,
"Has anyone changed their destiny?"
Jiang Shouyan had a faint smile on his face, and there seemed to be relief in his eyes.
"They are the doctors you just rescued, and... Xiao Mingyue."
"Xiao Mingyue?!"
Although Jiang Tunan had seen Xiao Mingyue die on the battlefield in his dream, he still found it unbelievable when he heard it again.
After all, he is the protagonist's elder brother, so can't he escape the fate of being cannon fodder?
"You rescued those doctors. They are all witnesses who accused Dayin of evil deeds. Dayin will not dare to think of raising an army again in the short term. At the same time, Daxing will take precautions early. Even if a fight really breaks out, Xiao Mingyue will not die in battle again."
Jiang Shouyan seemed very tired.
"Do you have anything else to ask? I should send you back now, otherwise you will really die and I won't be able to save you."
Jiang Tunan still had many questions in his mind, but seeing that Jiang Shouyan was not in good condition, he decided to make it short.
"One last question..."
Jiang Shouyan forced himself to listen carefully.
"Do you really love the hero to death?"
"Fuck off!"
Jiang Shouyan stomped his feet, and Jiang Tunan immediately disappeared from the spot.
After Jiang Tunan disappeared, Jiang Shouyan stared at the ground where Jiang Tunan had just stood in a daze.
Jiang Shouyan slowly raised his head, and saw that after the fog around him had dissipated, there were lines of golden words floating in the air. They intertwined to form an invisible cage, and Jiang Shouyan was standing in the middle of the cage.
Jiang Shouyan gently stroked one of the sentences:
[Jiang Tunan followed Madam Xiao's arrangement and officially changed his name to Jiang Shouyan]
But after a moment, the golden words under Jiang Shouyan's hand gradually dimmed and finally disappeared.
"Thank you, Jiang Tunan."
...
When Jiang Tunan woke up, she was lying on a pile of rubble. It was drizzling and the cold rain was splashing on her face.
Jiang Shouyan is really great. He said he saved himself. How? Half-dead is also considered alive?
His back ached as if it was being run over by a tractor, and there were some bruises on his hands and feet. Even the big Yin man's poison had not been cured.
The only thing between him and death was his last breath.
Jiang Tunan closed his eyes peacefully again.
It doesn't matter. Whatever. She's not going to live anyway. Whoever wants to do this task can do it. Let her die quietly alone first.
So Jiang Tunan successfully fell asleep in the rain.
What Jiang Tunan didn't know was that she woke up on the fourth day after the cave collapsed. Before that, the entire outside of the cave was full of people looking for her.
Among them were not only people from Jingzhao Yin, but also people from the Xiao family, Anguogong Mansion, Zhuying Pavilion, and even Guangpingwang Mansion and Rongguogong Mansion.
Xiao Mingrui stood on a high place and watched the retreating team with deep eyes. Xiao Mingxu beside him was extremely anxious.
"Why are you all back? Keep looking!"
Ji Yichen casually advised beside him,
"We've been searching for three days and three nights. The cave is almost turned upside down. If we look for her, we'll definitely find her. I think she might have already..."
Before he could finish his words, Ji Yiheng kicked Ji Yichen on the butt.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Xiao Mingxu also looked at him angrily.
"This is our sister! I think your brother didn't kick you hard enough."
Xiao Mingxu kicked Ji Yichen a few more times. Ji Yichen knew that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry, so he didn't say a word after being kicked.
"All parties have been searching for three days without any results. If we continue to search, I'm afraid the emperor will be displeased. We can only search secretly on our own."
Xiao Mingrui looked away, his expression remaining calm.
“With so many people unable to find it, can we find it alone?”
Xiao Mingxu was a little discouraged. If he had known this would happen, he should have accompanied Jiang Tunan to the inn.
"My cousin, you are blessed by fate. Everything will be fine."
Xiao Mingli comforted him softly. He was also worried, but he felt more admiration. He didn't expect that Jiang Tunan would be willing to rush in to save people at the critical moment regardless of his own safety.
In a trance, Xiao Mingli recalled the young girl's tender voice when he first met her.
[Soaring up to 90,000 miles, breaking through the clouds, carrying the blue sky, and then heading south...]
In the mansion of Duke Rong, Meng Jingchen lay on the couch, looking not very well.
"Ahem...No news yet on Jiang Tunan?"
After Meng Jingchen was hit by Sakai Masayoshi's hidden weapon that day, it took him several days to completely eliminate the poison in his body, so he is still a little weak now.
"Sir, the search team has been searching for three days and three nights, but they haven't even found the body. Now, everyone has retreated."
Meng Jingchen exerted a little force, and the teacup in his hand broke into pieces in an instant.
"Nothing has been concluded yet. Are you so sure that she is dead?"
The guard immediately knelt down and confessed his guilt.
"My subordinate spoke out of turn, please forgive me, sir!"
Meng Jingchen moved his wrist, and the teacup fragments flew out and pierced the guard's shoulder. Blood slowly seeped out and gradually dyed his coat red, but the guard kept apologizing and did not dare to be negligent.
"Get out of here."
"Yes."
The guard covered his shoulder wound and retreated. Zi Wen beside him spoke carefully,
"Sir, should our people withdraw?"
Meng Jingchen shook off the tea in his hand and said coldly,
"Keep searching in secret. If he's alive, I must find him. If he's dead, I must find his body!"
Outside the cave, it was already slightly dark. Everyone else had left, leaving Xiao Huaimin alone sitting in front of the cave.
"Father."
Xiao Mingrui approached quietly. Xiao Huaimin did not look up at the person who came. Xiao Mingrui had no choice but to choose a seat next to Xiao Huaimin and sit down.
"I feel guilty."
"What is there for father to be ashamed of?"
Xiao Huaimin sighed.
"Brother Jiang has been very kind to me. When Brother Jiang was in trouble, I failed to help him. This is the first reason. Nan Nan is Brother Jiang's only child. I raised her in the mansion but failed to protect her. This is the second reason."
Xiao Mingrui lowered his head in thought, then slowly spoke,
"What kind of person is Jiang Tunan's father?"
Xiao Mingrui was puzzled as to why his father was so concerned about a farmer. How could his father care so much about him?
Xiao Huaimin shook his head, as if lost in memories.
"He is a heretic."
"From what father said, it seems that father and Uncle Jiang have known each other for a long time?"
Xiao Huaimin did not continue to answer and quietly closed his eyes. Xiao Mingrui knew that his father did not want to say more, so he stopped asking and just sat quietly with Xiao Huaimin until dawn.
