Chapter 246 Accomplice
...never...betray.
The moment I heard these four words, my head buzzed and a heart-wrenching pain burst out. There seemed to be thunder rumbling in my ears, and blood was rushing towards me like a tsunami, and a rainbow of light crossed the sky for thousands of miles.
The swaying perspective disappeared, the towering ancient trees disappeared, the mottled copper bells disappeared, and Yun Shuning suddenly opened his eyes.
But the person had already been pushed out of the door, and the door was closed tightly, and there was silence all around.
Yun Shuning stroked his chest and breathed lightly, then without any hesitation, he raised his hand and prepared to enter again.
But this time, the door to the mysterious space could not be opened no matter how hard he pushed. The leaping golden scriptures returned to static again, and the brilliance of the precious beads disappeared, as if everything that had just happened had never happened.
Yun Shuning immediately looked at Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, were you the one who was talking just now? You said that the ice coffin was mine? What's going on?"
"What? I didn't say that." Xiaobai looked innocent in response to the sudden question.
Yun Shuning couldn't help but frown when he saw that it didn't seem to be lying. This mysterious space, the red lotus ice coffin, and the dream that had just appeared again, which he had dreamed of since childhood, must have some kind of connection...
She looked back towards the door, her eyes flickering.
She had a feeling that she would know the answer soon.
She looked at the gate, but did not see Xiaobai looking at her quietly, with a glimmer of light flashing in his bright dark eyes.
Outside that space, the night was solemn.
There was a vast and dark space under the sky. A figure in black clothes and on a black horse, followed by a team of elite and fierce cavalry, drew a whistling wind in the night, galloping like an angry dragon, and with a whoosh, they all stopped in front of a tall building.
The man in black jumped off his horse and flashed from the opening of the moon-shaped cave door, and the cave door closed silently again.
Then, in the silence, a voice filled with excitement and relief was heard, causing ripples in the pool water.
"My Lord, you are finally willing to summon your subordinates!"
The man in black with a resolute face knelt on one knee, tears welling in his eyes: "Since what happened that year, all of my subordinates have asked to return home, but have never neglected to practice martial arts, just so that one day, we can wait for the master's order again!"
"The Lord's kindness is not only remembered by me, but also by thousands of brothers. If you hadn't founded the Yi Family Army and given us goals and directions, we brothers wouldn't be where we are today."
The man looked ahead and saw Gao Hua, a figure in black long robe, standing with his hands behind his back, fluttering like a soft cloud in the cool wind of a snowy winter night. After a long time, he turned around and gave the man a faint smile.
Seeing such a smile, the man's heart settled down. He calmed down and told the figure all the information that the Yi family army had collected in the dark over the past few years.
The figure raised his head slightly, and the moonlight rose faintly, reflecting his elegant and bright features like a god: "Let our people split up into small groups, hide in the capital and the surrounding villages and towns, keep a close eye on all movements, and help the king investigate a few things."
"Yes!" The man in black listened carefully, bowed in response, then shook his body and disappeared into the dark night again like a wisp of smoke.
The next morning, Yun Shuning, who had tossed and turned for most of the night because of what happened in the space last night, was finally able to take a nap when she was awakened by a burst of hurried footsteps. Then she saw the blurry figure of Lian'er hurriedly walking to her bed.
Yun Shuning asked sleepily: "What's wrong?"
Lian'er said with a guilty tone, "Miss, I don't know what happened to Lin Yujiang. She has been waiting at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion for the whole morning. She kept saying that she had something important to talk to you about. If you don't see her again, she will hit her head against the gate and die. I had no choice but to wake you up."
"Lin Yujiang? Why would she see me?" Yun Shuning frowned slightly. "Forget it, let's go and take a look. It would be bad if it affects the people around us. Please help me dress up, Lian'er."
"Yes, ma'am."
After Yun Shuning packed up simply, he walked out with Lian'er. Before they walked out of the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, they saw Lin Yujiang standing there with his head down, looking dazed, his hair disheveled, bruises on the corners of his mouth, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
The moment she saw Yun Shuning appear, her dark eyes were visibly filled with surprise: "Ning'er, Ning'er, you are finally willing to see me. I... I was doing business with someone before, but I didn't expect to lose all my money. The money was taken from the government account... Can you, can you, for the sake of our old sisterhood... lend me some money?"
She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, looking embarrassed. "I know you may think I am shameless when I say this, but now you are the only one who can help me. When we were in Shangshu Mansion, I never became your enemy. Just think of our goodness in the past and help me this time."
Yun Shuning looked at her and asked, "Were you beaten by Sun Zhengze?"
Lin Yujiang's eyes flickered, and she covered her face and said, "I fell accidentally."
Yun Shuning remained calm, took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve and threw it into Lin Yujiang's arms: "Take this medicine, apply it three times a day as needed."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but Lin Yujiang suddenly knelt down and grabbed her dress tightly, begging: "Then, then the money..."
She gritted her teeth, raised her eyes and said, "Five thousand taels, I only want five thousand taels, Ning'er, you are now the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, you are so favored, let alone five thousand taels, they will give you even fifty thousand taels, just think of it as saving my life, please, please..."
Yun Shuning brushed her hand away indifferently and said coldly: "First, you can't call me Ning'er. I don't think our relationship is close enough to call me that."
"Second, you said that you were never my enemy in Shangshu Mansion before, but I don't think so." Yun Shuning leaned over to look into her eyes and said in a loud voice: "Silence is not neutrality, but connivance, it is an 'accomplice'."
Lin Yujiang's body trembled, and his face turned pale.
"I will not lend you this money. You know what I just said. I won't say anything else. Just take care of yourself."
After saying that, Yun Shuning left without looking back. Lin Yujiang wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the guards at the gate and dragged out.
Lin Yujiang returned to the Sun Mansion in a daze, clutching the medicine bottle tightly in her hand. As soon as she entered the door, she was greeted by the cold and stern eyes of Sun's mother and Sun Zhengze.
She shuddered and took a step back subconsciously, but was immediately pulled back by her mother, who pinched her flesh fiercely: "Look at you, you look so depressed, anyone who sees you will be unlucky! Have you done what I asked you to do?"
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Sun Zhengze smiled coldly: "Failed?"
Lin Yujiang looked at him in horror and subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but he heard a "pa" sound and was slapped hard in the face.
Then, Mother Sun scolded her, "I knew you, a little bitch, would never accomplish anything. You've been married for so many years, but you're still pregnant. We in the Sun family have been feeding you for free, and you've been happy even in your dreams! Now I just asked you to borrow some money, but you can't even do such a small thing. What's the point of you living, huh?"
