I am Yuan Niaoniao

Chapter 151: Only one of his arms was broken, what a pity!

"I heard the sound of a carriage. It should be just ahead." Yuan Xixi listened carefully, then pointed ahead and said.

"Chase!" Chen Shaoyi nodded, but was entangled by the black warrior leader for a while, and then Han Junyi escaped.

The three of them ran quickly towards the direction of the carriage, and soon they found Tianqi's carriage running in front of them.

Suddenly, a shout came from a distance: "Stop them!" This voice was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, breaking the silence around them. Chen Shaoyi and Yuan Xixi looked over and saw several men in black rushing towards them from a distance, holding shining swords in their hands, rushing towards them aggressively.

Chen Shaoyi's eyes turned cold, and his gaze was as sharp as a cold star. He whispered to Yuan Xixi, "Protect yourself." Then he flashed and rushed to the black-clothed man like a flash of lightning. His actions were swift and decisive, not giving the enemy any chance to breathe.

Seeing this, the men in black raised their weapons and rushed towards Chen Shaoyi. However, Chen Shaoyi was agile and easily avoided the attacks of the men in black and fought back with fierce moves. His sword drew cold rays in the air, and each sword carried a deadly threat.

Gong Jiaxin protected Yuan Xixi, who took the opportunity to jump onto the carriage and found that the driver was a man in black. She kicked him away and pulled open the curtain. However, when she saw that the carriage was empty, she felt disappointed. She realized that things might be more complicated than she thought. Who were these men in black? Why did they intercept them?

At the same time, the battle between Chen Shaoyi and the men in black became more and more intense. His swordsmanship was like a violent storm, making it difficult for the men in black to resist. Although the men in black were numerous, Chen Shaoyi gradually gained the upper hand with his superb martial arts.

Yuan Xixi turned around and shouted anxiously: "We've been fooled, there's no one in the carriage!"

Chen Shaoyi and Gong Jiaxin also dealt with all the black-clothed men and came to Yuan Xixi. Chen Shaoyi glanced at the empty carriage and the cunning Han Junyi, "These black-clothed men are just bandits, so they are not difficult to deal with. Han Junyi used them to delay us. He is injured and can't go far with Siyu and a maid!"

.............

It was just as Chen Shaoyi guessed, when Han Junyi met these bandits on the road, he bribed them with money without saying a word, and even took out Siyu's princess token, asking them to come to Tianqi to claim the reward after the task was accomplished.

"Brother, is this token real or fake?" asked a younger brother.

"Really." The one called "big brother" was the leader of the bandits. Seeing that Han Junyi was spending a lot of money, and looking at the carriage, he saw that there was indeed the Tianqi logo engraved on it. He thought that the men were definitely not trying to deceive him, so he happily accepted the silver given by Han Junyi, and took his men to sit in the carriage to wait for Chen Shaoyi and the others to arrive. However, he never thought that he would have the life to accept the silver, but not the life to enjoy it.

.............

"But they don't have a carriage, so they don't make much noise and it's not easy to track them." Gong Jiaxin said, looking around.

Chen Shaoyi frowned. Knowing Han Junyi's cautious personality, he said, "Since he knows we are chasing him, he will definitely not dare to take the main road, and he may not choose to return to Tianqi. Maybe he will take Siyu and hide."

"If it were me, I wouldn't dare go back to Tianqi either, because I can't walk far and will definitely be caught up." Yuan Xixi also nodded in agreement, "But that would be bad, because then we wouldn't be able to figure out their direction. The world is so big, they could be hiding anywhere."

"Damn it!" Gong Jiaxin clenched her fists and cursed.

"Then we can follow the bloodstains left by Han Junyi." Yuan Xixi suggested. She noticed some subtle bloodstains on the ground, which might be the key clue to finding Han Junyi and others.

Chen Shaoyi and Gong Jiaxin looked at each other and shook their heads. Gong Jiaxin said, "All the way here, the bloodstains on the ground are sometimes clearly visible and sometimes blurry. That is to say, if Han Junyi uses soil to cover the bloodstains, we will lose his trace. This method may not be feasible."

Yuan Xixi thought about it and it made sense. This way wouldn't work, and that way wouldn't work either. "Then what should I do?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Shaoyi came up with an idea: "They shouldn't go too far. Let's look in the nearby mountains and forests to see if there is anything unusual."

So the three decided to act separately and expand the search area.

Yuan Xixi walked carefully, and suddenly she found that the grass in front of her had been moved. She was delighted and hurried forward to check. When she got closer, she saw a little blood on the grass, and she concluded that Han Junyi and others must be nearby.

She followed the blood trail and finally found Han Junyi and Siyu in front of a cave. Because Han Junyi's arm was injured, he could only find a place to rest and could not run far. While treating the wound, Yuan Xixi, who had a keen nose, discovered the clues, so she drew out her soft sword and hurried forward: "Han Junyi, give me your life."

Han Junyi turned around when he heard the voice and saw that it was Yuan Xixi alone. He gritted his teeth and took out his sword to block Siyu: "Take the princess and run forward!"

Huihui quickly pulled Siyu away, "Princess, let's go!" Siyu looked back at Han Junyi, and quickly followed Huihui to run away.

Originally, Han Junyi was stronger than Yuan Xixi, but now that he was injured, he had a hard time fighting the agile Yuan Xixi with one hand.

Yuan Xixi's moves were fatal, and soon, Han Junyi was covered in wounds. But he still fought desperately, buying time for Huihui and Siyu to escape.

Seeing Siyu and Huihui running away, Han Junyi breathed a sigh of relief and swung out two swords with force, trying to use his internal force to repel Yuan Xixi. Unexpectedly, Yuan Xixi seized the opportunity to dodge his two moves and instead cut off his injured arm with the soft sword.

Han Junyi's face turned pale, he screamed, knelt on one knee, then gritted his teeth and gathered all his strength to condense a palm wind towards Yuan Xixi. Seeing this, Yuan Xixi immediately jumped away to avoid the palm wind. Han Junyi took advantage of this gap and quickly jumped into the river beside him, and was swept away by the waves.

When Yuan Xixi came to the side and looked down, there was no trace of Han Junyi. "Damn it! He escaped again!"

Chen Shaoyi and Gong Jiaxin noticed the commotion here, and when they rushed over, they saw Yuan Xixi standing by the river.

"What's wrong, Xixi?" Gong Jiaxin hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"I only broke one of his arms, what a pity! He jumped into the river and escaped!" Yuan Xixi said with a look of regret. It was all her fault for being careless and giving Han Junyi the opportunity to escape.

"You are great!" Chen Shaoyi looked at the broken arm on the ground and said, "Let's use this broken arm to commemorate Xueyao's soul."

"Yes. You are great, Xixi." Gong Jiaxin patted Xixi on the shoulder and said, "If you cut off one of his arms and then jump into the river, he may not survive no matter how lucky he is."

Yuan Xixi nodded, "Now that things have come to this, I can only use this arm to commemorate Sister Xueyao's sacrifice. When we find Han Junyi's body in the future, we can use his blood to commemorate Sister Xueyao!"

With heavy hearts, the three hurried back to the pear tree where Xueyao was buried. Their eyes were filled with sadness and determination, as if they wanted to bury this pain deep in their hearts.

Finally returning to a familiar place, the three stood silently in front of Xueyao's tomb, quietly staring at the name on the tombstone. The cold wind whistled past, blowing their hair, but it could not shake their firm determination.

They gently placed Han Junyi's broken arm in front of the tombstone, as if conveying their final thoughts and farewells to Xueyao. The broken arm lay quietly in front of the tombstone, and it seemed to still carry the remaining breath of Han Junyi.

Then, the three of them bowed deeply to the tombstone and expressed their deepest respect and grief for Xueyao.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, with only the sound of wind and breathing intertwined. They prayed silently, hoping that Xueyao could rest in peace.

"Then what should we do now?" Yuan Xixi raised her head and asked. It would be time-consuming and laborious to look for Han Junyi's whereabouts and there might not be any results. Besides, reinforcements from Tianqi might arrive soon.

"Let's go back and make plans later." Chen Shaoyi said, looking at the sky.

Finally, the three of them slowly turned around and left, leaving behind the lonely tombstone and the broken arm, as well as the memory that would never be erased.

....................................

The three of them traveled through wind and rain and soon arrived at Yuan State.

"You're back!" Yuan Niaoniao came out excitedly to greet the three people after hearing the news, but there should be four people, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly. "Where's Xueyao?"

"Sister Xueyao said that she wanted to stay in Zhao State. Zhao State is interesting and fun, so only we came back." Yuan Xixi said with a forced smile.

"Yes." Chen Shaoyi also nodded stiffly in agreement.

Gong Jiaxin also forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Yes, if I didn't hold an important position and the emperor didn't let me resign, I would have stayed in Zhao State to have some fun."

"Where's my sister?" Zhenyuan and Xiaopang also ran out. But they didn't see Xueyao, and felt a little disappointed.

Yuan Niaoniao had a vague guess, but considering Xiaopang and Zhenyuan's feelings, she suppressed her thoughts and said, "Your sister said she would play in Zhao State for a while before coming back. Let's go eat. Brother and sister must be tired after coming back from a long distance."

"Isn't that my sister's flute?" Zhenyuan carefully noticed the flute around Yuan Xixi's waist.

Seeing this, Yuan Xixi knew that the truth could no longer be concealed. The three of them looked at each other and sighed. Yuan Xixi choked up and said, "Sister Xueyao is sleeping under the pear tree."

Xiaopang burst into tears immediately: "Sister Xixi, you are talking nonsense!" He had just healed the grief of losing his relatives and friends, and became sworn brothers with Xueyao, but he lost his sister Xueyao again.

"Little Fatty." Zhenyuan also shed tears of heartbreak, but he could only hug Little Fatty tightly, because what Sister Xueyao wanted was to seek revenge on her enemies, and he believed that Brother Shaoyi and others had also tried their best.

Yuan Niaoniao couldn't help but shed tears when she saw this. Although she had guessed the result, it was still hard to bear the grief when she heard Xixi say it herself.

Chen Shaoyi quickly hugged Yuan Niao Niao into his arms: "Don't cry, Xueyao doesn't want everyone to cry for her."

Gong Jiaxin also choked up and said, "Xixi also avenged Xueyao. Xixi cut off Han Junyi's arm and offered it in front of Xueyao's grave. Han Junyi, with his arm cut off, jumped into the surging river. His chances of survival were slim. We should all be happy for Xueyao. She finally avenged her parents and all the people who died unjustly in Yaocheng. She was very brave. She risked her life to stab her enemy Han Junyi in the chest with a dagger. Although it was not fatal, it was great! She died without regrets."

Yuan Niao Niao wiped her tears, came out of Chen Shaoyi's arms and said, "Xiaopang, Zhenyuan, don't be sad, be proud of sister Xueyao! You still have so many brothers and sisters like us as your family! And Zhenyuan, you have to learn from your sister Xueyao, and one day you will be able to avenge Maple Leaf Village!"

"Zhenyuan understands, Sister Niaoniao!" Zhenyuan held back his tears and nodded. His eyes revealed a firm look. He would definitely become stronger and take revenge on Siyu!

....................

At this moment, Siyu has returned to Tianqi safely, but she looks at Han Junyi on the sickbed with a sad face. For some reason, seeing him lose an arm to save her, Siyu feels an indescribable pain in her heart. She stares silently at the pale and lifeless man in front of her, feeling indescribable.

Fortunately, when they were attacked at the inn, the commander immediately sent a message to Tianqi, asking for support. When Xuanzhi learned the news, he sent more black warriors to rescue without hesitation.

On the way, the black warriors met Siyu and Huihui who were in a state of embarrassment. They were ragged and exhausted, but fortunately they were not seriously injured. However, what made everyone feel relieved was that they actually found Han Junyi drifting along the waves on the shore where they were camping and resting. At this time, Han Junyi had already fallen into a coma and was in critical condition. Therefore, Siyu decided to take him back to Tianqi and treat his injuries as soon as possible.

After a long journey, they finally arrived in Tianqi. Siyu anxiously stayed by Han Junyi's bed, silently praying for his early recovery. She knew that if Han Junyi hadn't been brave enough to save her, she would have died. Therefore, she was a little moved by what Han Junyi had gone through.

Xuanzhi originally wanted to convict Han Junyi, but because Siyu had returned safely, and he had heard about the hardships and heroic deeds Han Junyi had gone through to save Siyu, especially the fact that his arm was unfortunately cut off by the enemy in order to protect Siyu, this firm and brave spirit made him admire Han Junyi. This kind of spirit is exactly what a man should be like! So Xuanzhi decided not to pursue Han Junyi's guilt and ordered the Imperial Hospital to go all out to treat Han Junyi's injuries.

At the same time, he also issued an announcement to the whole country, openly recruiting extraordinary people or masters from other worlds who can remove the poison, hoping to find more people to help remove the poison from Siyu.
