Chapter 173 Life for Life
Chapter 173 Life for Life
Forty miles southwest of Zhuozhou City, in Songlindian Town, a team of nearly a thousand guards were riding horses and escorting Cheng Yu.
He went to Zhuozhou to negotiate with the Liao Emperor.
He could have taken a steam train, but the Liao emperor had ordered that trains could not enter the Liao territory until the negotiations were successful, so when he arrived at Waqiao Pass, he took a horse carriage instead.
Seeing that there were still dozens of miles to go, he was sitting in the car with his eyes closed, thinking about the details of the negotiation.
suddenly,
"Whoosh whoosh..."
From all directions, a barrage of arrows was fired.
In an instant, countless guards were shot and fell to the ground.
"There's an ambush~"
"Protect the Marquis~"
"Protect the Marquis~~"
All the guards immediately surrounded the carriage and protected Cheng Yu with their bodies...
……
……
Bianjing City in October,
It should be a cool and refreshing autumn season, but it is unusually rainy and cloudy.
Mrs. Cheng was chanting in the Buddhist temple when she suddenly felt a palpitation and the rosary in her hand fell to the ground.
She turned pale with fright and immediately picked up the beads on the ground, chanting "Amitabha" over and over again!
At the same time, Ah Cai, who was repairing the books, felt as if a knife had stabbed her heart.
She fell to the ground with a loud thump and fainted. Dongmei was so scared that she immediately ran over to hug her and shouted for help.
Several maids and nannies hurriedly carried her to the bed. Some immediately went out to call a doctor, some pinched her Ren Zhong, and some applied hot towels.
After a while, she woke up slowly, tears streaming down her face.
It turns out that losing him feels so painful!
Soon, the news that the loyal and brave Marquis Cheng Yu was assassinated spread to the capital. At first, no one could believe it until his body was transported back to the capital!
A great man of his generation passed away, and the whole city was in an uproar!
……
At this moment, the sky seemed to have collapsed in the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis!
The women in the mansion surrounded his coffin and cried bitterly. Mrs. Cheng, who was old and had to send her son away, fainted from the shock. The doctor was trying to save her.
Ah Cai stood by and stared at his coffin blankly.
She had sensed the moment Cheng Yu got into trouble, but until then, she refused to believe that he was dead.
That's impossible. He died several times, but he came back to life again.
How to do?
Xiao Cai!
what should I do?
Ah Cai kept calling out to Cai Bao's spirit, but Xiao Cai said nothing.
"Xiao Cai, please,"
"Tell me what to do?"
"I can't lose him,"
"I can't survive a day without him,"
"Xiao Cai~~"
She finally broke down and cried.
"Ah~"
Caibao Yuanling finally responded, she sighed,
"In this case, the only option is to activate the Primordial Divine Spell!"
"May I?"
"……Can,"
"But you,...will disappear~"
"...??"
"With my current spiritual power, I can barely activate the magic spell, and the subsequent source of spiritual power will be the Tianshu Spirit Stone in your body."
"But... once the spiritual power of the Tianshu Stone is exhausted, that will be the time when you disappear..."
"So, ... are you willing too?"
“…I do!”
"Okay then~"
"Where evil began, there it should end!"
In the deep night, a petite figure flashed out from the Marquis' Mansion and headed towards the Wuji Cave on Shaanxi Road!
……
Cheng Yu's coffin will be placed for three days for relatives and friends to pay their respects. During these days, there is a constant stream of people coming and going, all of whom come to see him for the last time.
On the third night, Sun Yuechan kept vigil alone.
Tomorrow morning, his coffin will be carried up the mountain, and she just wants to stay with him for one more night!
After three days of torture, her face was no longer filled with sadness or joy. She just knelt on the mat and numbly burned paper money one by one.
The children were taken care of by two concubines. Madam Cheng was now half dead, and Yelu Yuan was taking care of her with a big belly.
In the middle of the night, a cool breeze blows!
Suddenly, there were bursts of inexplicable "crackling" sounds in the mourning hall, and the air seemed to be filled with static electricity.
The sound became louder and louder, and the surrounding furnishings even began to vibrate slightly.
What happened?
Is it an earth dragon turning over?
Sun Yuechan looked around in horror. Everyone in the mansion also noticed something was wrong and ran out to check.
"Kachacha~"
There was a sudden flash of lightning in the sky, and a deafening roar.
Everyone covered their ears in time, only to feel a buzzing sound in their heads, as if they were exploding from the inside.
After a long while, the thunder disappeared, the crackling sound in the air also disappeared, and everything returned to peace.
Sun Yuechan asked everyone to go back and rest, and she returned to the mourning hall to keep vigil.
Paper money continued to be thrown into the brazier one by one, and the flame in the brazier flickered.
She yawned. She was so tired as she hadn't slept for several days!
Just as she was about to fall asleep, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from Cheng Yu's coffin. The white light shot out from the gap, and then the white light disappeared. The coffin lid slowly opened, and a person sat up from inside.
He sighed,
"Ah~"
"The fourth time!"
Cheng Yu is resurrected again!
He walked up to Sun Yuechan, squatted down, and put his hands on her shoulders.
Sun Yuechan suddenly woke up, Cheng Yu's face suddenly appeared in front of her, and she was so scared that her heart almost stopped.
Before she could even scream, Cheng Yu patted her shoulder. A sense of clarity flowed into her body, and her heart, which was about to jump out of her chest, immediately settled down.
"Don't be afraid,"
"..."
"...Husband~"
She stared at Cheng Yu blankly. After a long while, she finally burst into tears and hugged him, saying, "I knew you wouldn't leave us."
Cheng Yu patted her back and comforted her, "I'll be fine, don't worry."
"Woo~"
After Sun Yuechan calmed down, Cheng Yu suddenly asked her,
"Where is Acai?"
Right!
Where is Acai?
Where is Acai?
I seemed to have seen her in the funeral home a few days ago, why is she gone now?
Sun Yuechan felt that her memory was a little fragmented.
Cheng Yu felt extremely empty inside. He sent out his divine sense to search for her, but there was no trace of her at all.
A very bad premonition came over me.
……
The mansion is haunted~
The Lord is dead~
He was looking for Madam Cai everywhere. No, it was Aunt Cai. So, was it Madam Cai or Aunt Cai?
Everyone felt like they had lost some memory.
"Ah~~"
"Master Hou!"
"Ghost~~"
"Have you seen Ah Cai?"
"Ah~"
"My Lord?! Ghost~"
"Have you seen Ah Cai?"
Cheng Yu looked for Ah Cai everywhere, and frightened a lot of people wherever he went. The only one who recovered from the fright was Mrs. Cheng.
"Mom, have you seen Ah Cai?"
"Ah! Ah! Xu'er, are you back to see mother?"
"Mom, I'm not dead. Have you seen Ah Cai?"
"Ah~Xu'er, my son,"
"You're not dead? Ah~"
"Yes, I am not dead,"
“Ah! Ah! Haha! Haha!!”
"Hahahaha~"
The next day, many people in the capital came to the mansion to escort Cheng Yu's coffin up the mountain.
Everyone was surprised to find that the funeral supplies such as mourning banners, white lanterns, and white wreaths in the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis were gone, the mourning hall had been removed, the coffin was gone, two red lanterns were hung back at the door, and the white mourning clothes of the people in the Mansion were all changed back into ordinary clothes.
Soon, the middle door opened wide.
Madam Sun Yuechan came out to announce to everyone that the Marquis was not dead, because he noticed that there were many spies mixed in Cheng Industry, so he staged such a fake death drama to let those who had evil intentions jump out automatically.
When everyone heard this, the whole audience was in an uproar!
This is too amazing!
It turns out that the purpose of making such a big fuss is to catch a spy.
Afterwards, Sun Yuechan asked the servants to carry out several large boxes. When they opened them, they saw ingots of silver.
This silver is used to distribute to everyone present, anyone who sees it can get a share!
Suddenly, the scene in front of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s mansion changed from a funeral to a sea of joy!
