In the vast night, warhorses neighed and galloped towards the north.
There were two people immediately.
One was lying on his stomach, and the other was riding on his back.
It was as if the king of the mountain who had stolen his wife was returning triumphantly.
The Empress Concubine struggled as she scolded and threatened, "Sun Lang!
You kidnapped me, have you thought of the consequences!
When the news reaches the capital, this matter will be over!
It's over, do you understand! "
Sun Lang looked up to the sky and laughed wildly. His voice shook the surroundings. "Look behind you, motherf * cker. Isn't it already over?"
Behind him, Instructor Lin and Class Leader Xue's affectionate calls could be heard.
It was as if the hatchet and blood were waving at him.
"…" Empress was silent for a moment, "Do you have to be so scared?"
Sun Lang said coldly, "What do you know."
The atmosphere between the two instantly turned cold and austere. After a while, Empress said indifferently, "It seems like you care about this more than I thought … You can't win against me like this, Sun Lang."
Sun Lang said calmly, "Do you want to try?
Let's see who dies first. "
Empress gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me."
Sun Lang said slowly, "If I die, I'll drag your country down with me."
The two fell silent again. At this moment, Empress suddenly realized that their relationship had deteriorated irreversibly. They could never return to the past.
The seemingly happy and peaceful conversation was just the calm before the storm, an illusion on the surface.
There was no warmth, no trust, no tacit understanding, no mutual appreciation.
All that was left was hypocrisy, politeness, scheming, hypocrisy, and … unforgettable hatred.
They could only be enemies … They could only be enemies forever. No one would lower their heads.
After a while, Empress suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "You big liar!"
Sun Lang said indifferently, "You're the big ass."
"…"
However, there was one thing that hadn't changed, and that was this guy's ability to quarrel. This guy had a sharp tongue, and the results of his quarrels hadn't changed at all … This guy was still as hateful as before.
Empress was just about to struggle and hit Sun Lang when Sun Lang gently patted her on the back. All the strength in her body disappeared, and even her bones seemed to have softened. She felt lazy all over and couldn't muster up any strength. She was shocked and angry as she shouted, "What's going on?!"
Sun Lang did not answer.
Empress thought for a moment and said in a subtle tone, "You didn't pick up a book of obscenity and practice it all the way to the highest level happily, did you?"
"… Why do all of you say that?"
Empress snorted. "Because you're such a pervert."
Sun Lang snorted coldly and did not reply.
Empress was lying on the horse's back, so it was difficult for him to move. He felt uncomfortable and bored, so he continued to ask, "So what's going on?
Don't tell me you really … "
Sun Lang said calmly, "It's your fault."
Empress was stunned for a moment and spat, "Bah!
What does this kind of obscene thing have to do with me … "
Sun Lang shouted, "Shut up!"
This shout was full of vigorous internal energy, and it resounded through the night sky like thunder. Empress's ears were buzzing. She was shocked at first, and then her stubborn temper rose. She scolded, "What are you shouting for!"
Sun Lang's eyes were sharp. He reached out and grabbed Empress, throwing her directly to the ground.
— Damn woman.
— Why do you think this is? How do you think this is!
Great Desolate Mountain.
There was more than one debt to be collected.
This was not the main road, so there were a lot of gravel. Although Empress was protected by heavy armor, she was powerless at this time. When she fell to the ground, she still felt a burst of pain. However, she had been competitive since she was young, and now she had a respected status. She was the General of the Tensei, and her power was slightly above the princes. She had developed a royal aura that was only below one person and above tens of thousands. Usually, the officials would bow to her, and the nine ministers would bow to her. When had she ever suffered such a loss?
This fall brought out the anger in her heart. She used her hands and feet to get up. She stared fiercely at Sun Lang and shouted, "Come!
You want to kill me?
Don't you want to kill me! "
Sun Lang jumped from the horse and landed steadily on the ground.
His face was serious. He walked step by step towards Empress. In an instant, a strong wind blew around him. The wind was like a knife. The horse was constantly frightened and retreated. It let out waves of frightened neighs. Animals' senses were always better than ordinary people. At this time, it felt a huge threat coming from the human in front of it.
His killing intent was blazing. This was a poisonous wine brewed from hatred. From eight years ago to two years ago, his originally peaceful life had been changed. He had forcibly placed himself in a bloody battlefield. He had once given him hope, but in the end, he had taken it away. The pain and despair he had experienced would never be forgotten and would never be forgiven.
Empress stood stubbornly. Her eyes did not show any weakness. She looked at Sun Lang.
Right and wrong did not have any meaning. There were only things that should be done and should not be done. There were only successes and failures.
Sun Lang said expressionlessly, "I hate your eyes."
Empress gritted her teeth and said, "I also hate your naivety. You have always been like this. So childish, so ridiculous, so full of fantasy … There are no good people in this world. Sun Lang, all the good people are dead. There is no trust between people. Just like I don't trust you, the imperial court doesn't trust you, and my father doesn't trust you. How can a person like you not remember the old hatred after reaching a high position?"
Sun Lang said lightly, "I have slowly stopped hating."
Empress sneered and said, "Is this important?"
Yes … It was not important. The human heart could not be predicted. The important thing was that the imperial court would not believe it. The emperor would not believe it. They judged others by themselves, so they would not believe it. They had seen through human nature, so they would not believe it. Humans were just such creatures. They were suspicious, dark, judged others by themselves, and criticized heroes.
This was something that was already destined.
Even if you acted obedient and docile, the emperor would still be suspicious of you.
Even if you were not greedy for power and wealth, after you succeeded, the emperor would still be afraid of your influence. He would be worried that you were planning something in the dark.
Even if you tarnished your own name, the emperor had the evidence to kill you. Why wouldn't he use it?
Because you were a different race. You came from another world. They forced you to fight. They knew you had suffered a lot, so they felt guilty. It was normal for them to be suspicious!
No matter what you did!
No matter what you did!
No matter how you compromised!
You could not change this!
I should have thought it through … I should have thought it through!
Sun Lang suddenly laughed. He laughed and laughed and laughed, then gritted his teeth and said, "You emperors and officials, from ancient times until now, are all bastards. You will all die a horrible death!"
Empress raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "This is why we are suspicious of you. You are a Sky Demon. You are a freak from another world. You look like us, but you are not like us at all. Everyone works by the rules. Only you are unique. Everyone benefits from the relationship between the emperor and his subjects. Only you are shouting about dignity and equality!
Ridiculous! "
She said in a gloomy tone, "Those pathetic bumpkins, those ignorant people, they are timid. They forget righteousness for the sake of profit. Do they deserve dignity and equality with us?"
Sun Lang smiled viciously and said, "But I just like to see those vulgar bumpkins and ignorant people break, rob, kill, and hang everything you have!"
The Empress Concubine sternly shouted, "Traitor!"
Sun Lang laughed and said, "Yes!
Yes!
That thing happened two years ago. Did you only know it now! "
Speaking of this, empress concubine's eyes burst into flames. She let out a furious roar and charged towards Sun Lang without a care. This damned damned damned damned damned bastard!
Sun Lang easily dodged her serial killing moves. He pulled out the Tianyuan Saber and slashed at her back, sending Empress flying far away. The woman spat out a small mouthful of blood. She raised her head and looked at Sun Lang fiercely.
"In the past two years, whenever you think of that thing, do you feel very panicked, very desperate, very f * cked up, and don't even know what to do?
You asked for it. "
Sun Lang walked toward Empress with the saber and sighed softly, "The sun is shining, the sun is shining …"
Empress let out a beast-like roar. She stood up and wanted to continue rushing toward Sun Lang. In an instant, a sharp whistle sounded from afar.
An arrow was inserted into the ground between the two like a meteor.
Sun Lang stopped and turned his head.
Two familiar figures galloped over from afar.
"So slow."
He said.
His voice was so calm that it was somewhat frightening.
Xue Baochai saw Sun Lang's cold eyes from afar. For some reason, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if someone had stabbed her with a knife.
The girl threw down the bow in her hand, jumped off the horse, and ran over. As she ran, she shouted, "Husband!
You can't kill her now!
If you kill her, there's no turning back! "
Sun Lang looked at her quietly, his eyes as calm as the surface of a lake.
Even Lin Daiyu, who was following them, was frightened by this gaze and couldn't help but stop.
Xue Baochai took a deep breath and said as fast as she could, "Husband, I know you must have a lot of pain in your heart, but killing Empress is no different from declaring war. Are you ready?
If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog. You're still alive, so no matter if it's a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, we can die together. But … you have to think about the family!
Granny is already so old … "
Speaking of this, even with her shrewdness and temperament, her eyes turned red and she cried.
The widows of the Rongguo House had been supporting the family in the past two years under the gossip of outsiders. Old Lady Jia put on the military uniform again. The women tried their best to maintain the reputation of the House of High Duke.
Two years ago, it was like the sky had fallen, but everyone still held on.
When they knew that the last legitimate son of the Rongguo House didn't die in the battle of the Great Barren Mountain and survived, how happy they were … This House of High Duke that looked glamorous on the outside and was full of internal troubles needed a legitimate and talented heir to take charge.
But … although he survived, he was full of hatred for the Empire.
It was easy to guess what he had encountered, but … but …
This kind of thing, even she couldn't think of a proper solution.
She could see the hatred and anger in Sun Lang's heart from his eyes. As a wife, she should accompany her husband to get revenge, but what about the Rongguo House?
If the flag of rebellion was raised here, no one in the Rongguo House could escape, and everyone would be implicated …
Sun Lang looked at Xue Baochai who was crying and didn't say a word.
Lin Daiyu gritted her teeth and took the Fangtian Halberd from Xue Baochai, "Brother, if you're angry, I'll stab her to death with the halberd and then commit suicide. Then you can push the blame to me …"
Sun Lang frowned, "Nonsense!"
As expected, Lin Daiyu stopped and looked at him with wide eyes.
Sun Lang was silent for a moment and then suddenly stabbed the Tianyuan Blade into the ground. He turned around and said, "Take her back and pretend nothing happened today."
Lin Daiyu said anxiously, "Brother!"
But Sun Lang seemed to have made up his mind. Without Empress holding him back, his speed was unmatched and he rushed into the distance like a rainbow.
Lin Daiyu still wanted to chase after him, but Xue Baochai said softly, "Pin Er, don't chase."
Sister Lin still wanted to say something, but Sister Bao said, "He will come again."
Lin Daiyu looked at her. Their relationship before wasn't very good. She didn't like this sister who was always smiling. She felt that when she was smiling, she must be hiding evil in her heart. She wasn't a good person. After they entered the army together and met brother, she didn't like Xue Baochai. After all, it was the nature of a girl.
But after that incident two years ago, when they fought, their relationship slowly improved, because the feelings in their hearts became longing … Because of what they said before, their brother's love had to be shared equally, but after her brother's death, their longing for him didn't need to be shared equally, nor did they need to fight for it.
Now …
Although brother had come back safely, she should be like before and treat Xue Baochai as a competitor. She didn't like her, but … for some reason, she didn't feel any hostility …
Instead, she was worried …
Her relationship with Xue Baochai had improved over the past two years, so she could see at a glance that Sister Bao's heart was filled with panic and sadness. What was she troubled about?
No matter what … it was better not to let her worry first.
Lin Daiyu reluctantly looked in the direction where Sun Lang left. Since Xue Baochai said so, and since brother would come back, she would listen to her first.
Xue Baochai smiled gratefully at Lin Daiyu, then walked to the other side to help Empress.
General Tensei had suffered a lot tonight and was exhausted. She barely stood and said, "Xue Baochai, thank you for today …"
Slap.
It was burning hot.
Before she finished speaking, she was slapped hard on the face.
Before anger, there was shock.
Empress looked at the woman in front of her in shock.
Xue Baochai gritted her teeth and cried. This woman who never seemed to know what anger was and had always been smiling finally had something else on her face.
Looking at the tears on Xue Baochai's face, the anger in the Empress Concubine's heart suddenly dissipated for some reason. What replaced it was an indescribable sadness and sorrow. She turned her head to look in the direction Sun Lang left and softly said, "He seems to love you guys a lot …"
So he didn't tell them the cruel truth but left directly.
— He didn't tell them that whether it was the Rongguo Mansion, the Jia Family, the ancestors, or the hundreds of lives, all of these had nothing to do with him, an outsider.
He was still as naive, childish, ridiculous, and stupid as before.
He had never changed.
