Chapter 71: Dangerous Encounter (6)
"Do we need a reason to kill you? We are just following orders from our superiors. Just because the target is you, and because you are always protected by those powerful people, many of our brothers have died for this. You can regard this as our revenge."
Yin Yin could not accept being killed without any reason, but the assassin's words made Yin Yin suddenly realize that there were always assassins appearing in front of her, but there was always someone to protect her. When she thought that the other party was coming for her, her thoughts were always diverted.
"So, your target has always been me?"
"Yes, it's a pity, but please die anyway."
After answering Yinyin's question, the assassin rushed towards her. In the end, Yinyin didn't understand why she became a target. The only thing she knew for sure was why she was always protected. She never even realized that she was in danger. The successive situations made Yinyin difficult to accept and bear for a while. At this moment, facing the sharp blade attacking her, she was at a loss. What was she living for when she should have died? She couldn't find her past memories, and she was always suffering from mental torture . She could only live under the protection of others like a bird in a cage. Once she flew out of the cage, she would become slaughtered like now. Is this her fate? While watching others suffer, she thought she could forget her own pain, but she didn't expect that she would face death alone?
She couldn't see clearly, couldn't think clearly, and her mind seemed to be filled with endless thoughts, but in an instant, it was blank. Yin Yin slowly closed her eyes, as if she was no longer afraid of death, and as if she was asking for death to give her relief. If she died, she would no longer be troubled and in pain at any time, and perhaps she would be free from now on. With this kind of mentality, Yin Yin accepted death head-on. In just a blink of an eye, all she thought about was everything after losing her memory. She closed her eyes to welcome the enemy's blade, and soon she would be freed!
However, Yinyin, with her eyes closed, could not feel the existence of time, and she did not know how long it had passed. She heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, which made her slowly open her eyes. There were three more people in front of her. Before she could see who they were, one of them rushed towards her and hugged her tightly...
“…It’s so warm—”
With her vision blurred and consciousness gradually fading, Yinyin felt the nostalgic warmth from the arms of the person who was holding her. The next moment, she completely lost consciousness and fell into that person's arms.
"Shu'er!!"
Judging from the voice, the person who came was Zhao Ziheng, who was supposed to be far away in another country? The other two people, one was Wang Ye, and the other was Wu Yao. Their sudden appearance caught the assassins off guard. The assassin who attacked Yin Yin earlier had already fallen to the ground. Seeing the obstacle appear, the assassins rushed forward. Wang Ye and Wu Yao fought together. As for Zhao Ziheng behind them, he naturally ignored him, because at this moment his body and mind were completely on his beloved whom he had not seen for a long time...
Looking at Yinyin, who was unconscious and covered in blood, Zhao Ziheng felt unspeakable pain in his heart. The emotions revealed in his eyes were filled with grief, longing, helplessness, reluctance and many other complex emotions. How long had it been since they last met? The person Zhao Ziheng had never forgotten should have a lot to say, but he couldn't say anything when he looked at Yinyin who had lost consciousness. He trembled, carefully, and gently hugged Yinyin tightly in his arms. He didn't expect that the reunion would make him so excited. He had suppressed his feelings for Yinyin for a long time and had to leave her side. This reunion made him go from a high and mighty king to an ordinary man who was happy to reunite with his beloved. He was filled with emotion, and the longing accumulated over time was displayed on him without reservation at this moment!
Wang Ye and Wu Yao behind him had unknowingly defeated all the assassins. Turning around, they just silently commented on the reunion of Zhao Ziheng and Yinyin. Wang Ye didn't say anything, but Wu Yao saw Yinyin for the first time, and it was also the first time he saw the king he was loyal to show his true feelings. He thought that the person Zhao Ziheng loved should be the deceased Queen Lin Wei, but he didn't expect that he could see Zhao Ziheng being shaken by another woman. Wu Yao could feel that the emotion Zhao Ziheng showed at this moment was something he had never seen before. Even though he didn't know how to love, he seemed to be able to clearly understand Zhao Ziheng's mood at this moment. Is this really the Zhao Ziheng he knew? Wu Yao was stunned!
Gently holding Yinyin's face, gently kissing her cheek, suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhao Ziheng looked at Yinyin with his eyes full of affection, caressing her face, feeling her remaining warmth, how long have they not seen each other? For Zhao Ziheng, every day of separation was as hard as a year; because he had no choice, he had to leave; because of missing her, he went into danger regardless of everything; missing and desire occupied Zhao Ziheng's heart all the time, even if he had thousands of words to say when they met, it was not as good as silently watching her who seemed to be sleeping...
"I can finally hold you in my arms again—"
Zhao Ziheng caressed Yinyin's face, whispered in Yinyin's ear with affectionate eyes and soft voice. Even though she couldn't hear, Zhao Ziheng was satisfied to be able to hold Yinyin in his arms. How long has it been? Traveling through time and space, experiencing separation, reunion, separation again, forgetfulness and forced departure, a series of seemingly simple and sad emotional roads, how many people know and understand the pain contained in it? How many hardships they have experienced are unknown to anyone, and no one can understand what Zhao Ziheng is feeling at this moment. The joy from the heart that comes from the reunion without words is something that ordinary people cannot understand...
