Chapter 43 Revenge 3

  A familiar breath enveloped her, a long-lost warmth. Nalan Xinnuo opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

  His eyes had already turned red uncontrollably, and his conditioned reflexes supported him, not allowing tears to fall. Nalan Xinnuo bit her lip tightly, trying hard to suppress the grievances and surges in her heart.

  "Let me go." She thought her voice was cold enough already.

  She also doesn't know why she has to say such words, why she must be as cold as frost, the one who has been waiting, the arms that have been waiting, the warmth that has been waiting, now it's here, but she doesn't know how to face it.

  Fell deeply in love, yet discovered that I don't know how to love. At a loss, with only the thought of escaping.

  "No." Absolutely unhesitating tyranny.

  He won't let her go again, he won't watch her leave again. No one knows that in those endless sleepless nights, he vowed over and over again, never to let go, can't let go.

  Just as he couldn't wait for her, just as he put on his armor and rushed to the battlefield, just as he almost died at the hands of the enemy, he knew that he had lost control and fell in love with the woman he least wanted to let go of, but had let go of.

  He fell in love with her at first sight, knowing that she was the irreplaceable woman he would spend the rest of his life with.

  Silent, they have too much to say to each other, yet too much that cannot be spoken.

  "Will never let go again."

  A cold and determined voice drifted slowly through the valley with the wind, like an order that brooked no refusal, yet carried a childlike arrogance that made it hard to refuse.

  Tears rolled down her cheeks unscrupulously, she could no longer hold on. Always wanting to hear it, but so be it.

  But all she wanted was to hear him say it, and never let go again. As long as he said it, she would believe it.

  At the summit, as if time was flowing backwards. He leaned against a tree, holding a small person in his arms. Nalan Xinnuo lay in his arms, with too many emotions suppressed in her heart, and she couldn't say a word.

  "I knew it, Madam wouldn't let me be bullied." The tone was triumphant with a hint of cunning.

  Nalan Xixi raised her eyes, directly meeting his narrow and deep eyes, which were full of cunning intentions. Nalan Xixi suddenly realized.

  She had always felt that something was off, and thought that there must be some unconvincing link in the whole series of events. The most unconvincing thing was, how could Nan Gong Jin let his world become so chaotic?

  How could they allow those people to drive him to such a state?

  Also, how could he put down the imperial seal for his mother-in-law who only thought of picking a son-in-law?

  All of this was his plan, just to lure her out.

  Nalan Xixi glared at him fiercely. "You're asking for death!"

  Nangong Jin looked at Nalan Xianyu's angry expression, slightly hooked up the corner of his mouth and said: "Madam misunderstood, I didn't deliberately arrange anything, just simply not asking about court politics, letting him go as he pleases, then finding an opportunity to send myself to death, seeing if Madam would keep her promise to protect me. If Madam appears, that's the best result. If Madam doesn't appear, I'd die contentedly, without Madam, I don't want to live on either, every extra day is torture."

  If he had heard these words in the past, he would have definitely killed the person who said them, too corny and disgusting. He never thought that many years later today, these words would come out of his mouth, and every sentence was heartfelt.

  The overbearing and arrogant Ta Luo Tian was completely defeated in front of this woman, and in her presence, he would always be like a child who couldn't get candy, and would be delighted for a long time with just one word of praise.

  Nalan Xixi let out a cold snort and turned her face away. "I'm doing all this, not for you."

  "Who is it for? For Yan Er?" Nangong Jin looked at her with a hint of grievance.

  He didn't care about the politics, he actively jumped into the trap of the left party, just wanting her to appear, but there was no news from her. Just when he almost lost hope and decided to die in this war, the situation turned around again.

  But it wasn't her doing all this.

  It wasn't until the very end that he learned from Huo's mouth that the one who had done all of this was the imperial son-in-law, and it was her.

  Nalan Xixi rolled her eyes inwardly. "Keep talking nonsense that I killed you."

  "I heard you were the husband, I really wanted to kill you." Nangong Jin looked at her coldly.

  Nalan Xixi's heart tightened, a surge of emotions quickly tore at her heart. Indeed, he still loved Nan Gongyan the most. Indeed, after knowing that she had disguised herself as a man and deceived Nan Gongyan, he wanted to kill her.

  Scoff, it's originally like this, compared to Nangong Yan, she was never worth mentioning.

  "If you dare to do this kind of thing again and be ambiguous with others, I will definitely kill you."

  Nalan Xixi was taken aback, she raised her eyes to look at him, only to see his serious face, he was being sincere.

  She was both laughing and crying, his meaning is... Is he jealous? Jealous of Nan Gongyan?!

  "She is your sister and a woman, how can she be ambiguous?"

  "I don't care." Nangong Jin said coldly, "You've already become a royal son-in-law, what are you talking about not having an ambiguous relationship? In short, from now on, you're not allowed to get entangled in any unclear relationships with anyone, whether it's a man or a woman. Otherwise, I will definitely kill you!"

  "You dare threaten me again and I'll kill you!"

  "You don't listen and I'll kill you first!"

  They stared at each other coldly, with a fierce atmosphere, neither of them willing to back down. The standoff lasted for a long time, until Nalan Xinnuo couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.

  Suddenly, Nangong Jin became vigilant.

  Nalan Xinxiao noticed his abnormality. "What's wrong?"

  Nangong Jin hesitated for a moment. "Can't you hear?"

  There are people approaching, should be no less than thirty, but among them, the footsteps of about ten people are much lighter than others, seemingly they are highly skilled martial artists.

  Nalan Xixi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but before she could say anything, Nangong Jin stood up. Her hand was pulled by Nangong Jin as he suddenly rose to his feet, and a wave of dizziness washed over her.

  She rushed all the way, without a drop of water, and the most fatal weakness of this body was hunger. Once she was hungry, she would be unable to withstand even a single blow, and her senses would degenerate, making her weaker than an ordinary weak woman.

  She stumbled and fell into Nangong Jin's arms. Nangong Jin gently held her close, softly saying: "Don't worry, I'm here."

  Having said that, he hugged her and jumped forward with a leap.

  Along the way, Nangong Jin took out a pouch from his bosom and handed it to Nalan Xianyu. Nalan Xianyu opened it and found some dry rations inside. He started eating them on his own. "Why do you still carry these with you?"

  Luo Tian Emperor still carries dry rations with him in Luo Tian Imperial City? It's indeed hard to understand.

  But if the person he's looking for is someone who becomes useless when they don't eat, then it makes sense.

  "It's still better to bring some good things with you, so as not to be dragged down by your wife."

  Nalan Xixi gave him a dissatisfied glance, her mouth full of food, and didn't even bother to say anything more to him.

  At this time, a line of people behind him had quickly caught up, and Nalan Xinnuo, who had slightly filled his stomach, gradually recovered his hearing. He listened to the increasingly close footsteps and frowned slightly.

  "They're all masters." She leaped out of his arms and sprinted forward with her lightness skill.

  "How did you manage to keep him?" Nan Gong Jin asked in puzzlement.

  It's obvious who those people are and who wants to get rid of her, it can only be Zhao Song. But he couldn't understand why she would spare Zhao Song's life.

  Nalan Xixi's expression turned unpleasant as she said, "What are you talking about? Your mother can't even bear to be apart from him for a moment."

  Suddenly, the two of them stopped in their tracks!

  In front of a small hill, a dense black mass, with red flags fluttering in the wind.

  On the flag, a special and complex symbol was very eye-catching. Nalan Xinnuo couldn't understand what the symbol represented, while Nan Gongyin's face became increasingly cold and gradually turned pale.

  "Qiang people." Nan Gong Jin's voice was extremely cold.

  Nalan Xixi had never heard him speak in such a serious and solemn tone. It was clear that the Qiang tribe's troops were not to be underestimated. Otherwise, over the years, with Nan Gongyu's abilities, how could he have failed to annihilate them in one fell swoop?

  "They've just been defeated, how can there be so many of them?! And how did they get here?!" Nalan Xianyu was secretly shocked in her heart. This is the area of Luotian Emperor's capital, how could so many people come in and out without anyone noticing?!

  "This is not the Qiang people of northern Shaanxi."

  Nalan Xixiao's expression turned serious. It seemed that things were not as simple as they had thought. These Qiang people had long since infiltrated Luotian, and the Left Party was so powerful precisely because these Qiang people had secretly joined them.

  Nowadays, the core figures of the Left Party have been killed, and the Qiang people in Sai Bei have also suffered a great defeat, which is to push them to the end.

  They will appear here, it seems that Zhao Song has already clarified his stance and is standing on the same front line with them.

  Nangong Jin's eyebrows furrowed tighter, these Qiang people looked like at least a thousand, and he knew how fierce they were in battle. With strong enemies ahead and pursuers behind, it was impossible for the two of them to escape.

  But there is another way.

  Behind him, a group of black-clad men followed in an orderly manner. Nalan Xianyu turned around and flew towards them, always having to fight, with better odds of winning on this side than before.

  Nangong Jin didn't follow her, but instead sprang up and rushed towards the Qiang army.

  Nalan Xixiao understood his intention and quickly took down the black-clad man with two moves. She looked up to see him already running far away, almost reaching the Qiang people's troops.

  The Qiang people saw Nan Gongyi come forward alone, but they did not relax their vigilance. The Qiang soldiers raised the weapons in their hands towards Nan Gongyi.

  Among them, a man wearing ethnic costume sat in the center, seemingly their leader.

  He sat there, looking at Nan Gong Jin with a hint of a smile. Nan Gong Jin walked in front of him, a thread of surprise flashing across his eyes.

  "It's you."

  Across from him, the man hooked up the corner of his mouth, but he didn't say a word. A shocking knife scar appeared on his throat.

  Looking at that knife scar, Nangong Jin smiled lightly. "When it comes to killing people, one should still do it personally; otherwise, there will be endless troubles."

  The man heard this and smiled slightly in agreement.

  Nangong Jin immediately retracted his smile. "Let her go, I'll let you handle it."
