"Tang Si!"
Ji Yunshu screamed.
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Her whole body trembled as she tightly held the still-warm hands.
"Don't … Don't …"
Her voice was choked with sobs.
That kind of pain was worse than being dissected alive.
Tang Si lay there peacefully, a smile on her face as she dreamt.
Outside, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard. Blood splattered on the white tent.
One by one!
The smell of blood permeated the air.
It was so pungent.
Ji Yunshu bit her lips. Her rationality told her to pull herself together.
She promised Tang Si that she would protect her child. She couldn't go back on her word.
Beside her hand was the dagger that Tang Si had personally given her.
"Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to your child." Her voice was choked with emotion.
She tore off the cloth covering Tang Si's body and took off her clothes, revealing her bulging belly.
Then, she pulled out the dagger.
Her hands were trembling.
She didn't cut it.
If she was even an inch off, the child in her belly would be in danger.
She could only take a deep breath to calm herself down.
Then, he focused all his attention on Tang Si's stomach.
Then, she tilted the dagger and slowly cut it.
His belly was slowly slit open.
Then, he carefully cut open a few more layers of the wall.
Fresh blood flowed out from the wound.
Her hands were dyed red.
It also dyed the clothes that she had just finished knitting.
Ji Yunshu concentrated until she slowly cut open Tang Si's belly.
She put the dagger aside and reached in with both hands.
She touched the little person.
Then, she pulled out the baby's legs little by little.
The baby's body was stained with blood.
The moment he was taken out of the belly, he let out a cry.
The sound was loud.
It was a baby boy.
He was safe and sound.
After Ji Yunshu cut the umbilical cord, she quickly found a clean piece of cloth and wrapped it around the baby.
The child was very obedient and no longer cried.
He lay quietly in her arms.
She placed the child next to the dead Tang Si.
"Tang Si, it's a boy. He looks like you. You should see him."
The baby next to her was wriggling.
Small, small.
Very fragile.
But —
Tang Si was unable to wait for Mo Ruo's safe return, nor was she able to witness the birth of her child. She didn't even know if it was a boy or a girl. Perhaps this was the regret of her life!
Ji Yunshu touched her deathly pale face.
His mind flashed back to the first time he saw her.
It was during a lantern festival. She was dressed in red, holding a jug of wine and gulping it down.
He exuded the heroic aura of the people of Hou Liao.
At that time, she asked her, "What's your family name?"
"Ji."
"Ji what?"
"Call me whatever you want," Ye Zichen said.
"Then … I'll call you Ah Ji. Where I come from, they call me Ah Si, you can call me that too."
"Mm." She nodded lightly.
Even now, she still remembered the smile on Tang Si's face.
It was even more beautiful than the stars!
"Don't worry, I'll make sure your child grows up healthily. I won't let him know what happened today."
Unknown, unknown.
Do not know the sorrow of the world, do not know the pain.
And this point was really verified many years later.
The boy named Mo Zhi had no sense of taste or pain.
…
Bai Yin and the others had already been slaughtered by Chu Chengyu's men.
The remaining few were also heavily injured.
In the end, they were surrounded!
Bai Yin refused to admit defeat, nor did he want to take a step back.
Chu Chengyu pressed forward with his sword, "I'll give you one more chance. As long as you hand over the person, I'll spare your life."
"Pfft!"
"Haha, fine. Since you want to die so badly, I'll help you all the way."
Just as Chu Chengyu was about to give the order to slaughter —
The curtain behind Bai Yin was pulled open.
Ji Yunshu came out, covered in blood, holding the child in her arms.
Her expression was calm.
She didn't look like she had just experienced.
At that moment, the people outside were stunned!
Including Chu Chengyu.
He stared at Ji Yunshu with wide eyes, confused.
At the same time, the two sides stopped fighting.
Bai Yin looked at Gu Ruoyun, then at the little figure who was fast asleep in Gu Ruoyun's arms.
His voice trembled as he asked, "Miss Tang, she …?"
Ji Yunshu didn't speak.
But Bai Yin already understood!
In the next moment, he was enraged, his veins popping. He gripped his sword, ready to kill Chu Chengyu.
"Big Brother!"
Ji Yunshu stopped him in time.
Bai Yin's face was flushed red. She shouted at Chu Chengyu, "I'm going to kill him!"
"Even if you kill him, Tang Si won't be able to come back to life." Her tone was calm, without a trace of hatred. Right now, the most important thing to her was Tang Si's last words, and the baby in her arms.
"Yunshu …"
"I have my own plans." She looked at Chu Chengyu calmly, "Will you let them go if I return to the capital with you?"
"That's right, as long as you agree."
"Alright, I'll go back to the capital with you."
"Really?"
"Do I have to choose?" Ji Yunshu retorted.
Chu Chengyu pondered in his heart. Why did she agree so readily?
Could it be a trap?
But the people in front of him were covered in wounds, how could they resist?
So …
He agreed readily, "Alright, as long as Miss Ji is willing to return with us, everyone here can live."
How generous!
Bai Yin immediately grabbed her arm, "Yunshu, you can't!"
Ji Yunshu looked at Bai Yin, her red lips parting slightly, "I'm willing."
"I won't let you go with them."
"If I can return to the capital in exchange for so many of your lives, it will be worth it."
Bai Yin shook her head, refusing to let go of her.
Ji Yunshu only hoped that she would change her mind. But Ji Yunshu had already made up her mind, and no one could dissuade her. He looked at the baby in his arms, then said to Bai Yin, "Before Tang Si passed away, I promised her that I would do everything in my power to protect her and Mo Ruo's child. I will not let this child suffer a single injury. Big Brother, we have no other choice.
This is the only way, isn't it? I don't want to lose you, and I don't want to see everyone I cherish die in front of me. "
"Yunshu … so many people died for me, it's worse than letting me live. I'm already a sinner, and I don't want to fall into the abyss again. Moreover … "She took a deep breath," You and I both believe that Jing Rong is still alive, right? Then … we must wait for him to come back alive, even if it means dragging out our last breaths.
Even if we have to live, we must wait for him to come back. "
Bai Yin listened to her words, and her heart struggled.
"Big Brother, please promise me that after we leave this place, you will continue to help me look for him. No matter where he goes, as long as I don't see his corpse, I will never believe that he's dead. Only if you are alive can you help me find him!"
"Yunshu …"
"Promise me."
Finally, Bai Yin let go of him.
He said, "Fine, I promise you."
How much determination did he have to make to say such words?!
Ji Yunshu smiled, but it was a sad smile.
Then, she carried the child in her arms and walked towards Chu Chengyu's men.
Bai Yin was powerless.
She could only watch as her sister walked into the tiger's den.
Chu Chengyu sheathed his sword and went to welcome her personally.
"Miss Ji, if you had agreed earlier, so many people wouldn't have died."
Haha!
Ji Yunshu looked at him coldly.
How she wished she could pluck his skin off.
But she didn't say anything.
"This child?" Chu Chengyu asked.
Ji Yunshu said, "You are only following orders to bring me back to the capital. This child has nothing to do with you."
"That's true. Then, please."
He gestured for her to go.
She didn't expect that Chu Chengyu had even prepared a carriage.
She was about to go up.
Suddenly, the sound of hooves could be heard.
Along with it were several arrows.
