After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

Chapter 204 Pain

Shen Peiqing, who was on his way to Dongzhou, had a bad feeling less than half a day after parting with Rong Su.

It was a feeling that made him feel a little uncomfortable and uneasy, and he kept holding his chest.

The wood and the stone realized at the same time that something was wrong with him.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Otherwise, let's stop and rest for a while. It will take some time to get to Dongzhou." Mu Tou was worried about Shen Peiqing's health. After all, he had stayed in the secret palace for so long, and he heard that he had been diving to dig secret passages. He must have suffered a lot.

Shen Peiqing shook his head, indicating that there was nothing wrong with his body, but he was always uneasy, which always made him worried.

While on the road, he always unconsciously looked in the direction where Rong Su left.

Mu Tou turned around once and saw it, and immediately understood what was going on. He said, "Master, if you are worried about Miss Rong, why don't I go after her and take a look?"

Stone heard it and understood it, and agreed: "Yes, master, Wood goes over there, I will stay here to protect you."

Shen Peiqing lowered his eyes and felt more and more stuffy in his chest, with a feeling that something extremely dangerous was brewing inside.

He was so concerned that he immediately made up his mind and looked at Mu Tou: "Mu Tou, you and Shi Tou must hurry back to help Ayu. This is my token. Take it."

As he spoke, Shen Peiqing threw the token to Mu Tou.

Mu Tou quickly took it, and then was a little surprised: "But Master, what about you? Are you going alone?"

Shen Peiqing didn't have time to say more, because he had a feeling that if he didn't go, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"I am enough. Go quickly!"

After Shen Peiqing finished speaking, he turned his horse around and sped up to catch up with Rong Su and the others.

Seeing Shen Peiqing leave, Mu Tou was still holding the token in a daze, hesitant about whether to go to Dongzhou or chase Shen Peiqing.

Seeing this, Shitou said to Mutou, "Since the master has given the order, let's go to Dongzhou quickly."

Mu Tou thought about it, nodded, and headed towards Dongzhou with Shi Tou.

Since he had been separated from Rong Su and the others for about half a day, Shen Peiqing only needed to speed up and catch up in two hours.

However, when they arrived at the forest where Rong Su, Xiao Hei and others had stayed, Shen Peiqing discovered something strange.

He looked around and frowned. He swept his gaze and suddenly stopped at the other side of the woods, where Rong Su's carriage was parked.

Shen Peiqing quickly dismounted and walked over quickly. After walking over, he found that Rong Su and Xiao Hei were nowhere to be seen.

He suddenly felt an unprecedented panic in his heart, and he looked around anxiously.

Trying to find some traces or something around.

Soon, a faint light reflecting the cold moonlight flickered somewhere.

After seeing it, Shen Peiqing hurriedly used his lightness skills to fly over and landed on a tree. He knelt on one knee, bent down and reached out to pull out a silver needle stuck in the tree.

There was Rong Su's carriage here, and there were silver needles on the tree. Shen Peiqing immediately guessed that Rong Su must have had a fight with someone here.

Thinking of this possibility, he jumped down from the tree and began to survey the area.

After a while, an empty medicine bottle was found in the grass.

Shen Peiqing squatted down and took a look, his pupils suddenly shrank. That bottle was the one Rong Su used to store poison!

The person who could make her use poison must be someone with good martial arts skills!

She is in danger!

The uncomfortable feeling in his chest became more and more severe. Shen Peiqing couldn't calm down for a moment. Anger and panic were faintly revealed on his body, and he punched a tree.

With a loud "boom", the whole tree suddenly fell down, raising a cloud of dust.

Shen Peiqing finally calmed down after venting his anger. Only by calming down could he find someone, but at this moment, he heard footsteps.

There was a flash of coldness in his eyes, and he moved and dodged, a long sword was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed.

The long sword was pressed against the neck of the newcomer, and the man trembled with fear.

"Master, yes, it's me."

After hearing Xiao Hei's voice, Shen Peiqing regained some of his sanity. His dark eyes moved, and he put away his sword. His voice was cold and deep: "Where is Xiao Su? Why are you alone?"

After hearing Shen Peiqing's questioning, Xiao Hei knew that he was to blame for losing Rong Su, and he immediately knelt down and confessed: "Master, please punish me, Miss Rong is missing."

Shen Peiqing's hand holding the long sword trembled suddenly, his eyes widened slightly, and his tone suddenly became cold and angry: "You said you and Rong Su were lost?"

"I am at fault! I shouldn't have let Miss Rong pick wild fruits alone. Master, you can punish me however you want!"

Xiao Hei lowered his head and admitted his mistake. He had no excuse.

Shen Peiqing had no intention of punishing Xiao Hei. He only thought of one thing, that is, Rong Su was in danger. It was possible that Shen Fengyu had captured her. What should he do if something happened?

A sense of fear arose spontaneously, and he said coldly to Xiao Hei: "Hurry and find her! If something really happens to her, what's the point of punishing you!"

Xiao Hei understood Shen Peiqing's anxiety at the moment, and he stood up immediately: "Yes! Master, I have checked the area nearby, but I didn't find any trace of Miss Rong Su. However, I found something strange. There is a bush in front of me, and there was a piece of black cloth left there. So I took a look at it, and after looking at it, I smelled an extremely unpleasant odor."

As he spoke, Xiao Hei took out the black cloth wrapped in a handkerchief and handed it to Shen Peiqing to see.

Shen Peiqing took it and looked at it, staring at the black cloth. He leaned in and smelled it, and a stench like that of a rotting corpse hit him in the face.

Frowning in thought, he suddenly thought of something: "Could it be... a dead puppet?"

Xiao Hei hadn't reacted at first, but when he heard about the dead puppet, he was immediately horrified: "What! Isn't the dead puppet a kind of witchcraft? The Wuling people were wiped out a long time ago, how could anyone still know this kind of witchcraft? Why did they want to capture Miss Rong?"

Shen Peiqing had a serious expression, clenched his fists, and his eyes were extremely cold.

"Whoever dares to hurt her will die."

Seeing Shen Peiqing's expression, Xiao Hei flinched inwardly, then asked, "Master, how should we find him? It's strange that the puppets didn't even leave a trace when they captured him."

Shen Peiqing's dark eyes were cold as he stared at a certain place: "No trace is needed."

Xiao Hei didn't understand what Shen Peiqing meant, but seeing that Shen Peiqing was already running quickly in a certain direction, he didn't ask any more questions and hurried to catch up.

Running all the way, Shen Peiqing's lightness skills are very comparable. Even a thousand-mile horse may not be able to run faster than Shen Peiqing.

So Xiao Hei, who was following Shen Peiqing, almost lost Shen Peiqing.

After this incident, Xiao Hei deeply realized the importance of Rong Su to Shen Peiqing.

Miss Rong Su could actually make her master, who had always been calm and rarely revealed his emotions, lose control like this. It seemed that he had to protect Miss Rong Su well in the future, otherwise his life might be in danger at any time. Thinking about it, Xiao Hei was still frightened. The look in Shen Peiqing's eyes when he looked at him just now was simply murderous.

We walked all the way to the deepest part of the forest and saw an abandoned thatched hut.

The closer we got, the stronger the smell of rotting corpses became. It was so stinking that there was no wild animal to be seen.

Xiao Hei pinched his nose unconsciously and looked at the thatched hut in front of him.

"Master, did those dead puppets capture the girl here?"

Shen Peiqing didn't have time to pay attention to Xiao Hei. As if his sense of smell had failed, he didn't smell the stench of decay at all and walked straight towards the thatched hut.

He was anxious and wanted to take three steps at a time, but the closer he got, the more that bad premonition hit his chest like a huge wave, making it hard for him to breathe.

When he arrived at the door, Shen Peiqing raised his hands and found that they were trembling. A slightly fishy smell came from inside. At that moment, his heart was trembling violently.

He suddenly pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Rong Yingxin lying on the ground with a hideous face and in a pool of blood. A horrible thought came to his mind. He moved his gaze to the front and saw that the person tied with hemp rope was the woman he had been thinking about.

But at this moment, her eyes were closed, her beautiful face was pale, and her lips were covered with blood. Shen Peiqing's pupils suddenly shrank, and he rushed over to hug Rong Su and immediately rescued her from the shelf.

He held her tightly in his arms, but he felt the warmth of her body disappearing bit by bit.

Shen Peiqing's breathing became rapid, his whole body was shaking, his voice was trembling, and he hugged Rong Su carefully: "Xiao Su, Xiao Su. You, you don't scare me..."

Xiao Hei, who had also walked in at this time, saw this scene and was horrified. His face turned pale. How could this happen?

Holding Rong Su, Shen Peiqing was like a compassionate and painful beast. He growled softly and called Rong Su's name again and again, trying to pull her back from the gates of hell.

"Xiao Su, I beg you, please, don't die. If you die, what do you want me to do? Xiao Su! I beg you!"

The whole house was filled with a heavy and sad atmosphere.

Shen Peiqing's eyes were red and his face was covered with traces of tears. He hugged Rong Su and shouted and cried, but he could clearly feel the person in his arms. Her body temperature was fading, which also meant that the woman he loved most was about to leave him, leave him forever.

“...No...Don’t...Xiao Su, Xiao Su!”

Sadness enveloped Shen Peiqing. He cried all night long, holding Rong Su, whose body was already cold, and cried bitterly. His eyes were swollen from crying, but he still never let go of the person in his arms.

Xiao Hei, who was standing aside, also lowered his head sadly and stood with Shen Peiqing all night.

Until dawn outside, pheasants were crowing and sunlight was pouring into the hut.

The breath from outside dispelled the bloody smell in the hut, but it could not dispel the coldness and grief in Shen Peiqing's heart.

Xiao Hei felt that this couldn't go on any longer, so he walked over and said solemnly, "Master. My condolences... The young lady... needs to be laid to rest. His Majesty Dongzhou is still waiting for you."

With his arms folded, Shen Peiqing lowered his eyes, and the loose hair on his forehead covered his eyes, making it impossible to see his emotions and expressions at the moment through his eyes.

After a long silence, Shen Peiqing slowly opened his mouth. His voice was already hoarse and as sad as a saw.

"I'm going to take her back to Dongzhou. I haven't asked her to marry me yet, but I have to do it."

Xiao Hei felt very uncomfortable as he listened and saw what was happening. He had never seen such a master before.

I had only seen such a master when I received the Empress's letter and when Concubine Shu passed away.

Suddenly, Shen Peiqing picked up Rong Su from his arms and walked slowly towards the door. When he reached the door, his voice was so cold that it seemed to be mixed with ice.

"Send someone to deliver Rong Yingxin's body to Beidu. Tell Shen Fengyu that I will take back everything he took from me a hundredfold."

Xiao Hei responded, and understood that his master would make up his mind this time and truly face the Second Prince. He had always noticed that his master still retained a trace of family tolerance towards the Second Prince, and it was obvious that Miss Rong Su's matter made him no longer hesitate.

Looking at Shen Peiqing's solemn and sad back, Xiao Hei sighed in his heart, and then arranged for the shadow guard to send Rong Yingxin's body to Beidu.

Afterwards, Shen Peiqing took Rong Su's body and rushed back to Dongdu with Xiao Hei.

On the way, no matter what he did, Shen Peiqing did not let go of Rong Su. He had a feeling that as long as he did not let go, she would definitely come back.

Xiao Hei had tried to persuade Shen Peiqing several times, asking him to place Rong Su's body on the carriage, because he really didn't want his master to hold a corpse all the time, which would only tire him out.

Unfortunately, Shen Peiqing couldn't listen to any of this now. He looked like he had lost his soul a long time ago. Even though he looked like nothing had happened now, he was just holding on. Xiao Hei could feel it.

But it is strange that Miss Rong Su's body did not rot after a day and a night. This is quite rare.

Xiao Hei felt confused about this.

Soon, at night, while passing through a canyon, Xiao Hei found a nearby shelter to stop and rest.

Xiao Hei turned around and said to Shen Peiqing in the carriage, "Master, let's rest here tonight. I'll go look in the nearby woods to see if there's any wood."

There was a brief silence before a faint voice was heard from inside.

Xiao Hei could only sigh helplessly in his heart, then got off the carriage and walked towards a small forest not far away.

Sitting in the carriage, Shen Peiqing held Rong Su's body, his eyes a little empty, but as long as he lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms, his eyes would become gentle.

He would reach out and gently push her messy hair behind her ears. He would talk to her patiently with a smile, as if the person in his arms had not left him.

"Xiao Su, tell me, after the war between the two continents is over, where should we go to live? Should we find a pleasant town or village, where we can work from sunrise to sunset, or do you want to travel and see the scenery of three continents and one city?"

The person in his arms had a pale face and closed eyes, unable to give him any response.

But Shen Peiqing didn't care at all. He still smiled gently, lowered his head, and put his face against Rong Su's profile. Only in this way could he feel that she was still there.

"That's okay, let's try both. Okay?"

After a short silence, he revealed a smile that was uglier than crying: "If you don't answer, then it's considered as a consent."

Shen Peiqing felt uncomfortable, as if he was being cut by a sharp sword. He pursed his lips and closed his eyes.

"Xiao Su...you are really cruel to me...what should I do..."
