PaiPai-Romane

Kapitel 211

Sometime in the past, he passed through this place with that man.

She wanted to buy the clay doll, but she didn't have the money.

He waited until she was far away before exchanging the jade pendant for her.

But... looking back now, it was all wrong.

If he hadn't been so careless, things wouldn't have escalated to this point, where even glancing at her has become a problem.

Chu Zhen felt a pang of sadness.

The sedan chair moved slowly forward, and Chu Zhen began to think about what Beitang Yujian had said last night.

Shouldn't we really go and see her?

What exactly happened to that child?

He was worried, very worried, but despite his worries, he couldn't move.

His identity is his biggest obstacle.

While he was lost in thought, the sedan chair suddenly shook violently.

Someone shouted, "There's an assassin!"

Chu Zhen was greatly alarmed.

The sedan chair landed with a thud. Chu Zhen's body swayed, and then she heard Beitang Yujian shout, "Don't panic, protect the master!"

But in an instant, Chu Zhen heard two or three screams in succession.

Chu Zhen was extremely shocked: Who on earth was so powerful? In the blink of an eye, several people had fallen.

The voice of Beitang Yujian rang in my ears: "It's you! You! Why did you..."

He hadn't even finished speaking. It's clear the newcomer is formidable.

Chu Zhen's heart pounded wildly, and she vaguely guessed who the person who had come was.

His mouth was dry. Sitting in the sedan chair, he felt like a clay or wooden sculpture.

Suddenly, he realized what was happening and abruptly reached out to pull open the curtain of the sedan chair.

Now that he's here, he shouldn't hide.

Chu Zhen bent down to get out of the sedan chair.

"My lord, don't come out!" Beitang Yujian's voice rang out again.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

All that could be heard was a muffled groan from Beitang Yujian, as if he were injured. Despite his injury, he rushed towards them, as if to protect Chu Zhen.

However, it was too late.

Chu Zhen stepped out of the sedan chair and looked around.

The ground was littered with his men, lying in disarray.

And right in front of him stood an acquaintance.

It's someone I know.

But she wasn't the person he had imagined.

For a moment, Chu Zhen froze, unsure whether to feel happy or disappointed.

He stared at that person, those cold eyes looking at him with intense hatred. Why? Why did they seem to hate him so much?

Chu Zhen momentarily forgot to react.

I could almost hear Beitang Yujian's shouts.

Chu Zhen simply stood there.

The man gave a cold snort, and his long sword, like a pool of autumn water, shot towards Chu Zhen.

Chu Zhen heard a heavy sigh from the depths of his heart, and he slowly closed his eyes. The expected pain did not occur.

Chu Zhen heard a loud scream from the surrounding area.

Was that Beitang Yujian's scream? No, it sounded more like a girl's.

The girl screamed, "Ah...ahhhhh..." Her voice was sharp and high-pitched, but she didn't know what she wanted to say, as if she was terrified.

But Chu Zhen thought: I didn't feel any pain. Could it be that I died in an instant?

Even if you were stabbed, why make such a fuss?

He slowly opened his eyes and saw a snow-white, jade-like hand blocking his chest. In that small hand were the two sword tips, as clear as autumn water. She gripped them very tightly, and blood flowed rapidly from her palm, a scarlet color.

Chu Zhen's eyes widened; he felt his blood freeze instantly.

He dared not look up; he was terrified of doing so.

He was afraid to see what he didn't want to see.

But he actually raised his head.

This time, he got what he wanted.

Right in front of him, the child was still dressed in a disheveled red dress, the color of which seemed to have been burned by fire. However, her face was unexpectedly pale and thin, very thin. Her eyes were large and round, staring blankly at him, as if she were looking at a stranger.

Rolling around, begging for votes, rolling around...

Actually, I feel sorry for him.

Meeting in the Distant Heavens, Chapter 283: Cause and Effect

It was Xiao Di who drew his sword.

And the one holding the sword was none other than Tang Leyan!

Chu Zhen felt that the world was in chaos, and so was his mind.

Tang Leyan looked at him but didn't say anything.

Chu Zhen stood there, but couldn't move her feet.

For a moment, the air seemed to stand still, with only inexplicable glances flowing and shifting between them.

"Ah...Young Master, Young Master!" The woman's scream rang out again.

Chu Zhen finally recognized the voice; it belonged to Ge Xun's girlfriend, Shi Shu.

As soon as the sound rang out, Tang Leyan realized what was happening.

With a flick of her wrist, the sword, as smooth as autumn water, snapped in two with a "crack".

She was still holding half a broken sword in her hand, seemingly oblivious to everything around her.

Chu Zhen finally reacted.

He reached out and grabbed her wrist: "Let go, Leyan, let go!"

Tang Leyan stared at him with wide eyes, as if trying to figure out who he was.

"Leyan, let go! Be good, Leyan!" he called out urgently, momentarily forgetting the gazes of those around him and the growing crowd that was gathering around him.

"Why?" she asked blankly.

"It will hurt, it will hurt you," he said.

“I’m not afraid,” she replied.

"Leyan, let go, hurry up. **** Be good, okay? I'm your uncle." His voice was hoarse with anxiety. This high-ranking official, who had just been wielding power and influence in the court, now didn't know what to say to appease the child. His words were incoherent and illogical.

"I won't let go! I won't! None of you will make me let go!" she suddenly shouted, looking very angry. "I'm not afraid of pain, not afraid!"

My hand tightened, and the blood flowed even faster.

Chu Zhen was stunned for a moment.

What is she thinking?

He turned to look at her and called out with difficulty, "Leyan..."

"I don't want to let go. Don't make me let go," she pleaded, looking at him.

“Leyan…” Chu Zhen’s eyes suddenly softened. “Be good, I know you don’t have to let go. But put the sword down. This thing will hurt you, okay?”

She remained hesitant, gripping the sword without moving.

Chu Zhen paused, then said, "This sword is very sharp and will hurt me too. Please put it down."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly let go of his hand.

It turned out that she cared about him more than she cared about herself.

Chu Zhen was shocked.

He looked at her. Then he looked down at her small, bloodied hand and the broken sword lying on the ground, stained with blood, and tears welled up in his eyes in an instant.

"You're not pressuring me anymore?" she asked.

"No, I won't pressure you anymore.^^ ^^" he replied blankly.

"Really?" She looked at him suspiciously.

Chu Zhen didn't answer. He took a deep breath, stretched out his arms, and hugged her tightly: "Yes. Really, really."

The moment his arms encircled her shoulders, he suddenly realized how incredibly thin she was. Her once fleshy shoulders were now bony and bony. He could feel it, and at the same time, this sensation sent a sharp pain through his head. Under the influence of the pain, Chu Zhen's vision blurred, and she could only hold onto the person beside her even tighter. She seemed to feel it too, reaching out to wrap her arms around his waist, refusing to let go.

There seemed to be someone calling out, someone trying to persuade him. It was Beitang Yujian's voice. It was Shishu's voice, it was Xiao Di's voice. He gradually lost track of them, only holding the child in his arms tightly, so tightly that it was as if he wanted to meld her into his body, to become one with her, never to be separated again.

Xiao Di noticed that Tang Leyan had lost a lot of weight and seemed somewhat dazed.

Enraged, he sought out Chu Gexing to confront him.

Chu Gexing was also furious. He forced her time and time again, and she submitted to him time and time again. He gradually became unable to extricate himself, while she became more and more resistant to him after each time she became infatuated.

This vicious cycle filled him with deep hatred, but he hated himself more than he hated her.

Shi Shu witnessed the argument between Xiao Di and Chu Gexing. She didn't understand how much hatred Xiao Di harbored. For a moment, she wanted to protect Chu Gexing, after all, he was Chu Gexun's brother. Moreover, she didn't quite understand the details of the matter. She only knew that Tang Leyan liked Chu Zhen, but Chu Zhen ignored her and instead entrusted her to Chu Gexing.

Shi Shu didn't know what saying this meant to Xiao Di.

In Xiao Di's heart, Tang Leyan was one of the closest people.
