Zi'an held her breath, her head buzzing. She stretched out her hand, trembling violently, and took the jade pendant from Qin Zhou's hand. It was Rouyao's.
This was given to Rouyao by her grandmother, and she has always kept it with her.
"I'm sorry, I can't save them." Qin Zhou's voice was unclear, but there was rage and grief in her eyes that she couldn't suppress.
On Wolf Tail Mountain, there are old subordinates and soldiers who have followed her for many years.
Zi'an's mouth twitched, but tears rolled down her cheeks. She screamed like crazy, crying and shouting, filled with grief and pain.
Qin Zhou also felt uncomfortable. Seeing Zi'an collapse, the anger in her heart continued to gather. She had to take deep breaths to maintain normal thinking.
"Don't cry, there are still three hundred people alive." Qin Zhou didn't know how to comfort them, but now was not the time to be sad. He had to find those three hundred people as soon as possible and protect them.
When Zi'an heard that there were still 300 people alive, she wiped away her tears, took out a needle from her sleeve pocket, and inserted the needle into the acupuncture point near the wound.
"Tell me what the situation is on the mountain!" Zi'an's face was terribly gloomy.
Qin Zhou said softly, "Everything was burned. When I arrived, the village chief was still breathing. He said that 300 people escaped. Princess Rouyao died while trying to save people. There was a dagger stuck in her chest. The dagger was not pulled out. It can be seen that the person who killed her was in a hurry to kill others."
Qin Zhou's voice was soft, but he gritted his teeth and hatred permeated every word.
Zi'an stared at her, his eyes oozing blood red, and every word seemed to be crushed on his teeth countless times, "Qin Zhou, tell me, what would you do?"
Qin Zhou couldn't even bear to look at her red and swollen eyes and the anger and grief burning in them. Without even thinking, she said, "I will kill Chu Jing and Cao Su myself."
Chu Jing is the current emperor of Beimo, Cao Su, and Empress Cao.
She wanted to use the blood of the emperor and empress to bury these thousands of people.
Zi'an said quietly: "Remember your promise. You owe me a life. If you don't kill them, I will ask for your life."
Qin Zhou said solemnly, "I swear on my life!"
Zi'an's pale face showed a sinister look, "I will help you start a rebellion at all costs."
Qin Zhou said: "Okay!"
However, as she stared at Zi'an, she said in her heart, I don't need your help, you just need to be well.
The two men analyzed their escape route and rode out to find it.
There are only three escape routes, but Qin Zhou feels that Ajing is not dead yet. Although the bodies are unrecognizable, she feels that Ajing should still be alive.
As long as Ajing is still alive, he will definitely leave clues for her to find. After years of life and death, there is a tacit understanding between them.
As she walked up the mountain, she passed Wolf Tail Mountain. When Zi'an saw the corpses lying all over the place, his body trembled violently.
"Where did you find your jade pendant?" Zi'an looked at the fire scene. Everything was burned black and it was impossible to tell what it looked like before.
Qin Zhou took Zi'an to a corpse that was burnt beyond recognition. She said, "This is the corpse."
Zi'an knelt down with a plop, reached out to pull out the dagger from her chest and threw it aside. She reached out to touch Rouyao's face. That face, how could it still be a face
She took a deep breath, tried hard to breathe deeply, to suppress the waves of dizziness, but Rouyao's words kept coming back to her mind.
"Although I am very angry that King Qi deceived us, but seeing these people and the suffering they are going through, I can't bear to leave. I am a doctor."
"I want to open a clinic. Everyone has something they want to do. If no one likes me, I will open a clinic."
"Zi'an, if my Bai Mi Gui Pi Pills are successful, the clinic can be opened smoothly, and people in the mansion will no longer question my ability. I want to become the first female doctor in the Great Zhou Dynasty to be famous throughout the world."
Zi'an clenched his fists, tears falling sadly, "I'm sorry, Rouyao, I hurt you. This journey to the Northern Desert is full of dangers, I shouldn't have brought you here."
Rouyao just wants to save people, her mind is so pure.
"She said that if she could go back alive, she would open a clinic." Zi'an kowtowed, "Rouyao, I promise you, if I could go back alive, you would definitely open this clinic, and your Baimi Guipi Pills would definitely be able to be launched. By then, you would be a world-famous female doctor."
Qin Zhou helped her up and said, "I will order someone to deal with this. The county lady's body will be released separately and sent back to Da Zhou in style. Now, let's find the others first."
"Where are your people? Qin Zhou, do you have no one you can mobilize?" Zi'an's face looked a little ferocious. From the incident until now, no one from Qin Zhou had been seen.
"I can mobilize all the 70,000 men I brought back."
"You must go down the mountain immediately and mobilize some troops to look for them. They must still be being hunted down. If there is no reinforcement, even if we find them, we can't save them."
"but you… "
Zi'an's eyes were stern, "Don't worry about me, go now!"
Qin Zhou shook his head, "No, you are injured."
"I'm injured, but I have Scarlett to protect me. You should go now." Zi'an raised his voice, "If you don't go, they will surely die."
Three hundred people, and there are still three hundred people. These people must not fall into the evil hands again.
Qin Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you wait here for me, I will go down the mountain soon."
After saying this, she immediately mounted her horse and galloped down the mountain.
Zi'an sat with Rouyao for a while, but did not stay there to wait for Qin Zhou. Instead, he continued to search along the route they had just analyzed.
Her wound was sealed with needles and could last for two hours, and with the help of Qin Zhou's internal force, she would be fine for the time being.
There were many corpses lying on the hillside, and there were also corpses in places where the fire had not burned. They were killed and their blood was all over the ground.
Zi'an identified these people one by one. After spending so many days together, although she was not familiar with every one of them, she had seen those people before and interacted with them every day.
Looking at the vibrant lives now lying here lifeless, Zi An felt heartbroken and filled with grief and indignation.
Qin Zhou, you'd better do what you say.
Although Zi'an didn't see the bodies of Lingli, Liuliu, Xiaosun and others along the way, he was not relieved, because, could those charred bodies be theirs
Thinking of this, Zi'an finally couldn't help it and burst into tears while sitting on the hillside.
Thinking of Xiaosun and Nanny Yang who had accompanied her on this journey through time, Liuliu Rouyao, and later Lingli, scenes from the past flashed through her mind, and she was truly heartbroken.
I know now is not the time to be sad, but how can I bear it
The mountain was silent, as silent as death, with the souls of thousands of dead lingering above her head. She had tried her best to treat those people, thinking about them every day and studying prescriptions every night, just to save their lives. After a lot of effort, the prescription came out, but it was all destroyed by Chu Jing's fire.
