Chapter 130 The Last Time
Meet life
Upon hearing his father's words, Rong Changjun was completely stunned. So everything is over? If he had known it would be like this, he wouldn't have let Xiaofei take that medicine no matter what. Not only is Xiaofei's life in danger, but also their father-son relationship has reached a dead end with no room for reversal.
"Dad, you... how could you do this!"
"I'm doing this for you! You ungrateful son, eating the inside and peeling the outside, get out of my sight!" King Fan's eyes widened in anger as he scolded fiercely.
Rong Jingze slowly came to, looking around the bed curtains in a daze, and suddenly remembered what had happened before. As he sat up, a piece of paper fell from his body.
Rong Jingze picked it up and took a glance, unable to help but read through it, while the pain in his heart grew even more intense.
Little Fly, My Flying Son...
Rong Jingze burst into tears and laughed wildly. What kind of hardships did I let you suffer, what kind of sin did you bear?
"Come in!"
"Master?" The one guarding the door was indeed Gong Jiu of the Twenty-Eight Constellations. Hearing the commotion, he immediately pushed open the door and entered.
"Who went to find the antidote, who went to find Little Fei?"
"Return to Master, let Hua Shi Ba sneak into the enemy camp and bring people to search for Young Master." Hua Shi Ba is skilled at searching, his nose is also extremely sensitive, he's just the right person to find someone.
"How many people are still here?"
"General Yin has arrived, our people can take over. Is Master going to look for Young Master Hou?"
"That's right." Rong Jingze stood up, put on his outerwear and was about to open the door.
"Master, your body..." These days, he had spit blood twice in a row, and everyone was very worried about Rong Jingze's health. The doctor just took Rong Jingze's pulse, but the medicine wasn't ready yet. "You drink the medicine first before going, otherwise...otherwise, please forgive me, Master, I won't be able to follow your orders." Gong Jiu gritted his teeth and said.
Rong Jingze's face sank.
"Master, before Old Master left, he instructed me to take good care of you. I dare not disobey."
"This king is great, but he is still inferior to me!" Rong Jingze snarled.
"As long as the master takes the medicine, I'll immediately bring people and horses to follow you." Gongjiu also relaxed. "Master, young master has encountered trouble, we brothers are also very worried. But you must also consider your own body, if you collapse in front of young master, wouldn't that be even worse?"
"Bring me the medicine."
Gong Jiu happily agreed and personally ran to guard that bowl of medicine, simmering it well before sending it over.
"Master, it's hot..." Seeing Rong Jingze gulp down the still slightly scalding medicine in one mouthful, he knew he was really anxious and shut his mouth, no longer speaking. Waiting for Rong Jingze to finish packing up, the people outside had already gathered, just waiting for Rong Jingze's word to set off.
"Find Young Master Hou and promote him to a higher rank!" Rong Jingze didn't waste any words, for someone who had been poisoned, time was life.
Rong Changjun was leaving when Yin Ruofei's fire poison took effect. He wanted to hurry and leave, but the burning pain of his meridians made him have to stay in place and cultivate to counteract the poison. As a result, Rong Changjun left and returned, and he didn't even have time to leave.
"Xiao Fei, how are you?"
"How did you come back?" Yin Ruofei spoke up, but refused to open her eyes to look at him.
"Xiao Fei, I'm sorry to you." Rong Changjun ran here with a burst of energy, but only now did he feel his mood heavy and his whole body weak. "This poison, there is no antidote."
"......Thank you, Brother Gu." Yin Ruofei opened his eyes, and his eyes no longer had love or hatred. "I know you are not a person with a bad heart, the trend of opposing the king has already gone, it's better for you to escape early."
Yin Ruofei said it all from the heart, Rong Jingze has been preparing for so many years, except for not knowing where Wang Fan is hiding, everything else is in his favor, how can he still lose to me?
"Yes. General Yin has also arrived." Duke Rong sat down beside Yin Ruofei, "I advised him to surrender, he refused. I advised him to leave, he also refused."
Rong Changjun let out a low laugh, but that laughter was even more unbearable than crying.
"I grew up to the age of sixteen without knowing who my real father was. It wasn't until I was finally found that I thought I would have a life of filial piety, but it turned out that he devoted ninety percent of his energy to plotting what he called his great cause. He spent his whole life striving for this throne, but in the end, it was just a moonlit reflection on the water."
He lived his whole life for a phantom goal. What he often said was that there is no difference between the eldest son and the youngest son, why should the eldest son inherit, and as the youngest son, he can only be a vassal king. There's nothing wrong with being the youngest son, but why does he always want to take something that doesn't belong to him?
"There are many people in this world who are not reconciled to their fate, and there are also many successful ones. However, if one is ambitious but unscrupulous, it's no wonder they fail." Yin Ruofei spoke up weakly. His family had too many examples of this, and several of his brothers were not all thrifty either.
The eldest brother had the ability and ambition to become a great general, but was hindered by his wife and daughter-in-law, making his path increasingly difficult. The second brother also had ambitions, but they were built on the disaster of destroying the entire Yin family, ultimately leading to a tragic end of feigning death and losing his name. Even now that he has defected to the rebel king, this outcome can be predicted. The third brother coveted the position of crown prince, turning in circles before finally returning to calmness. The fourth and fifth brothers, one wanting to live a simple life and the other willing to read books and serve the country, were the most carefree and content among them.
Looking back on past days, you can see the flavor, ambitious and grandiose are all illusions, plain and simple is true.
"Little Fei..." As they chatted, Rong Changjun felt hotter and hotter, too busy talking to notice his state. When he looked over, he found Yin Ruofei's face bright red, his whole body burning hot. "Little Fei, wake up!"
Rong Jingze led the way in searching for someone in this area, although he knew that Yin Ruofei had run in this direction. However, the mountain behind was not too small, and they couldn't find her immediately. Fortunately, it was a dead end here, and if she wanted to leave, she could only take the road on the other side, which had been guarded by several people who had been chased up from the beginning.
Rong Jingze's heart was slowly calming down in the search, not because of anything else, but because Yin Ruofei didn't continue to run, but chose to hide behind this mountain. This alone is enough to prove that he is not as indifferent to others as he claimed, but rather, as Gao Jin suspected, something unexpected happened, and this unexpected event was likely poisoning.
It has to be said that Gao Jin indeed inherited his father's cleverness, although he wasn't present at the scene, he guessed what happened with great accuracy. However, when it came to himself, he couldn't see things clearly.
However, just this way, Rong Jingze couldn't put his mind at ease. If Xiao Fei had eloped, at least his life would be safe. Now that he was poisoned and refused to reveal the truth, it showed how deadly the poison was.
"Expand the search area." After giving orders, Rong Jingze took advantage of his deep internal strength and agile movement to head towards the mountain edge.
Just as they approached, a faint rustling sound was heard. Rong Jingze's expression changed because this clearly didn't come from Yin Ruofei's mouth. Following the sound, they flew over and indeed saw a cave hidden by weeds. If they hadn't heard the noise, they would never have guessed that there was a cave here.
A long sword flashed out of its scabbard, cutting away the wild grasses, and the entrance was exposed. Rong Jingze let out a loud whistle, and with one bound, he leapt inside.
"Fei'er?" Seeing Yin Ruofei fainting in the arms of the man who escaped with him, Rong Jingze suddenly felt a strong sense of jealousy.
Rong Changjun couldn't bear the look on Rong Jingze's face and hastily said, "Xiao Fei has been poisoned by fire poison, this poison has no antidote."
"Get out of the way!" Rong Jingze grabbed the other person's collar and threw him out of the cave entrance. The crowd at the door, who had heard Rong Jingze's signal, rushed over just in time to catch the thrown-out Rong Changjun.
"Fei'er, wake up." Rong Jingze pressed down on Yin Ruofei's pulse, discovering that the true energy in his body was chaotic and his entire body was burning with an alarming fever. He hastily sent a flow of internal energy into him from behind. Their internal skills shared the same origin, so safety wasn't a problem; however, after circulating the energy for a moment, Rong Jingze found that Yin Ruofei's chaotic true energy had greatly improved, and Yin Ruofei slowly came to.
"Hmm..." Although the situation was much better than before, Yin Ruofei still felt a severe pain all over his body. As soon as he slightly woke up, he discovered someone behind him practicing internal energy, and that gentle, cool inner power told him who it was without a doubt. "Master Uncle... let me go."
"Shut up." Jung Jae-hyuk spoke quickly. As he was operating, his breathing was circulating, and it wasn't easy for Jung Jae-hyuk to say this one sentence.
Yin Ruofei knew that she was uneasy in her heart, and Rong Jingze slowly withdrew his hand.
"Flyer."
"Don't save me, I'm not worth saving." Yin Ruofei lowered his head and gasped slightly, the heat in his meridians had already spread to the surface of his body, making him feel short of breath.
"Don't be disobedient, or I'll spank you!" Rong Jingze pulled the person into his arms from behind, "You were poisoned and refused to tell me, are you afraid that if I use my internal energy to help you detoxify, it will trigger your own poison? Do you know that by doing this, you're making me suffer more than death."
Just as Yong Changjun finished speaking, Yong Jingze already understood everything. His internal strength was like what Xiao Fei knew, if he were to circulate his Qi to dispel the poison, he would not have enough internal energy, and might even lose his internal energy, leaving him unable to suppress the cold toxin again.
Xiao Fei refused to let him save her. But if he didn't want to save her, did he have to cruelly watch Xiao Fei suffer and die?
"......Master." Yin Ruofei's heart was filled with sorrow, "If only one of us can live, I hope it's you."
"Do you think I'm dead? Can I still live on my own?" Rong Jingze was heartbroken, "Can you bear to let me endure that kind of piercing and corrosive taste alone?"
"Master, you raised me and I'll never be able to repay your kindness. If you die saving me, I'd rather die now." Yin Ruofei's face was abnormally red with anger, "I'd rather have you hate me than die for me."
"Don't be so cruel to me." Rong Jingze sighed. Yin Ruofei was still young, and if he were to die instead, the other person would have a whole life to walk out of the shadows. And he knew he couldn't forget Little Fei. "I now wish that the one you love isn't me."
"Master... " Yin Ruo Fei struggled to turn around, "Even if you save me, I will still take my own life immediately, so..."
Yin Ruofei tore off his own shirt, revealing an unusual pink color all over his body. He wrapped his arms around Rong Jingze's neck and whispered, "Can't you love me once more?"
Soft yet extremely hot lips pressed against Rong Jingze's, making him feel like his entire body was electrified. His mind was a blur, only managing to let out a loud roar, causing everyone to retreat hundreds of meters away.
The two entwined souls are equally sorrowful; after their joyful love, they will probably be separated by life and death.
And in this last, intuitive fusion of water and milk, both people used all their strength to cooperate with each other. And in this increasingly harmonious behavior, a red inner force and a blue inner force slowly merged together without either person being aware of it, finally transforming into a crystal-clear, enchanting purple color.
