Chapter 192: Settle the Grudge
"Hu, hu..."
On the trail, a disheveled figure stumbled through the lush grass and thorns, not caring about the sharp grass and trees on the roadside cutting his clothes and skin, and ran all the way without looking back.
"Bang!"
"Ah..."
Wang Qin tripped and fell to the ground with a plop, uttering a sharp scream.
But soon, he covered his mouth again, looked behind him in horror, and after making sure that no one was following, he gritted his teeth and struggled to get up, and continued to crawl forward.
Even though he was exhausted, he still didn't give up!
This was his only chance to survive!
He didn't know what agreement his second uncle had reached with the prince of Lin, but he got away!
He survived!
Recalling the nightmare experience during this period, Wang Qin shuddered, but then the resentment in his eyes could not be concealed.
He was determined to avenge this grudge!
The more humiliating the experience during this period, the deeper the resentment in Wang Qin's heart. The fear and panic of these days turned into a huge hatred towards Lin Jiangnian.
One day, he would pay back all the humiliation he had suffered.
What Lin Wang Prince?
He would torture him to death with the most cruel means.
And that woman...
Thinking of the woman he met in the dungeon that day, Wang Qin's anger was hard to hide, and his chest was full of rage.
He suppressed the hatred in his heart and continued to crawl forward with difficulty.
If he wanted revenge, he had to survive first!
The thought of survival made him exhausted at this moment. The physical and mental torture for many days had already made him overwhelmed, but Wang Qin still held on to his breath and crawled out of the trail with difficulty.
"Huh..."
When he climbed ashore, Wang Qin finally couldn't hold on any longer, and fell to the side of the road with a plop, his whole body sore and weak.
Is he really going to die here?
Just as the thought of despair emerged...
"Master?!"
In the jungle not far away, several black-clothed figures rushed out and came to Wang Qin quickly.
"Master, are you still alive? Great! The second master asked us to pick you up here. Are you okay?!"
The familiar faces and figures in front of him, aren't they the master guards that his Wang family used to worship?
At this moment, Wang Qin's eyes widened in vain, and the despair just now instantly turned into surprise.
Ecstasy!
"Save, save me..."
Wang Qin's voice was hoarse, as if he had grabbed the last straw to save his life!
"Let's go, leave here first."
Without any hesitation, several people carried Wang Qin on the ground and left quickly.
...
Away from the official road, a remote and backward uninhabited mountain village in Yanzhou.
The small mountain village has only more than 20 households, desolate and dead.
In one of the small courtyards near the foot of the mountain, the air was still filled with a bit of blood, and several black shadows quietly cleaned up the yard.
In the room, Wang Qin, who was rescued, was sitting by the bed, washing and changing clothes. Although he still lost the demeanor of the son of Xunyang prefect, he was at least much better than the miserable beggar.
However, Wang Qin, who survived the disaster, did not have any joy on his face. Instead, he was pale, white without a trace of blood, with dull eyes, as if he had lost his soul, staring at the figures standing in the room.
"Wang, the Wang family is gone?"
"My father is dead? My mother is dead? So, everyone is dead..."
"Our Wang family... is over?!"
Before Wang Qin could get over the joy of being rescued, he learned the bad news from the guards.
During the days imprisoned by Lin Jiangnian, Wang Qin did not see the sun, had no contact with the outside world, and had no idea what happened.
Now that he was rescued, he suddenly learned... his mother was gone!
Both his parents were gone!
All dead!
The entire Wang family was wiped out overnight? !
Wang Qin, who heard the news, was stunned and staring blankly. He couldn't believe it for a long time.
This feeling of suddenly returning from hell to heaven and then suddenly falling into hell made his brain freeze.
The Wang family is gone!
Does it mean that he is no longer the son of the high and mighty governor?
The former glory and wealth, everything is gone?
Such a huge blow made him unwilling to accept it.
"Is it, is it fake... You, you must be lying to me, yes, sorry, yes... You, you must be lying to me?!"
Wang Qin opened his eyes wide, grabbed the collar of a guard, and spoke incoherently with excitement.
The guard lowered his head and said in a heavy tone: "Master, it's true... Our Wang family is completely finished!"
"Now many people are looking for you outside, and those families who flattered our Wang family before also want to kill you..."
"The second master went to negotiate with Prince Lin to save you. This time, I'm afraid it's not going to be a good thing..."
The guard's words were like a huge hammer hitting Wang Qin's heart, causing him to stagger and fall on the bed, his face pale and without any expression.
At this time, even if he didn't want to accept it, he had to accept this cruel fact.
"Master, you have to be strong... You are now the only blood of our Wang family, you have to live well!"
The guards in the room have been loyal to the Wang family over the years. Even though the Wang family is facing a catastrophe, they still didn't choose to leave.
"Be strong?"
"Live?"
Wang Qin's eyes were dull. The Wang family was gone. He, the former "proud son of heaven", fell from the altar overnight.
Such a big blow made him dazed and lost his mind, and it was hard to accept.
Just when the atmosphere was dull, an excited voice came from outside the door.
"The second master is back!"
Wang Qin looked up suddenly, and a familiar figure came in.
"Second uncle?!"
Wang Qin got up excitedly and walked forward quickly as if he had grabbed the last straw.
"Qin'er!"
Wang Changjin stepped into the room and looked at Wang Qin, who was intact and not seriously injured, and felt relieved.
"Second uncle, Wang, the Wang family is gone, I, my parents are all dead?"
Wang Qin asked with a trembling voice.
Wang Changjin's face was gloomy, and he nodded with a sullen look: "Our Wang family has suffered a devastating disaster this time..."
After learning the truth from his most trusted second uncle, Wang Qin's last bit of luck disappeared, and his face turned pale and he almost fell to the ground.
Wang Changjin stepped forward and supported Wang Qin: "Qin'er, you have to calm down and cheer up!"
"This time our Wang family suffered such a disaster, it is retribution and also a disaster... But God has eyes, and our Wang family has not been wiped out after all!"
"You are still alive, you are the only blood of our Wang family, and you are also the only hope of our Wang family..."
Wang Changjin stared at Wang Qin with burning eyes and shouted in a deep voice.
Wang Qin trembled all over: "Only, the only hope?"
"As long as you are alive, our Wang family has not completely fallen, and there is still a chance to make a comeback!"
Wang Changjin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "We lost this time, but there will be a next time..."
Wang Qin's face was pale, and his voice was trembling: "Is there a next time? Now, now those people outside are eager for us to die!"
"So we must leave here as soon as possible."
Wang Changjin's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said coldly: "There is no place for us to stay in Yanzhou. We must leave here as soon as possible, go to the southwest, go to Liangzhou!"
"Liangzhou?"
"I have long anticipated that our Wang family will have a disaster, and secretly arranged a retreat in Liangzhou in the early years... This time you will go to Liangzhou with me, and we will hide our identities in Liangzhou, and we will start again..."
Wang Changjin narrowed his eyes. He had anticipated the consequences of what he had done over the years, so he had prepared a retreat early.
It's just that he didn't expect that their Wang family would fall so quickly.
Wang Qin's face was pale and ugly, Liangzhou?
Isn't that a desolate place near the Western Regions of the Daning Dynasty?
It is said that the environment in that place is extremely harsh, even more difficult than the wild place of Linzhou.
Can you survive there?
Wang Changjin seemed to see Wang Qin's worry, staring at him seriously: "Qin'er, this is our only chance to survive..."
"Leave here, you and I will start over in Liangzhou, and there will be opportunities for revenge in the future..."
A hint of coldness flashed across Wang Changjin's face.
The retreat he prepared in Liangzhou is enough for them to have food and clothing and make a comeback.
As for the revenge of the Wang family being wiped out, he will slowly settle with them!
"Yuan Zhongnan? Lin Jiangnian? And those who have been eating and selling in Xunyang County these years..."
The murderous aura filled Wang Changjin's face, and he said coldly: "None of them can escape."
Listening to his second uncle's words, Wang Qin's originally desperate mood finally calmed down slowly, and then a glimmer of hope rose again.
Leave Yanzhou and make a comeback?
Yes, although the Wang family is gone, as long as he is still alive, there must be a chance for revenge!
"Revenge..."
The idea of revenge emerged. Wang Qin thought of the humiliating experience these days. He could not suppress his anger, which even overshadowed the fear of the Wang family being exterminated!
"Second uncle, I listen to you!"
"Okay!"
Wang Changjin nodded with satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice: "Let's go, leave here first... It's not advisable to stay here for a long time!"
Although Wang Changjin didn't understand why the prince of Lin would let him go, his instinctive premonition was always a little bad. Although he had escaped, he was still in Yanzhou and might be exposed at any time.
Therefore, Wang Changjin took Wang Qin with these loyal guards to the Wang family and prepared to evacuate the small mountain village.
The group did not dare to take the official road, and left along the path on the other side of the village. The path was steep and overgrown with weeds, which was extremely dangerous and difficult to walk.
After crossing the path with difficulty, they finally came to the flat road. Just beside the road, a carriage had been parked for a long time waiting for the pick-up.
"Second Master, Young Master, our carriage is here, get on!"
The priest on the side spoke, escorting Wang Changjin and Wang Qin towards the carriage. Wang Qin, who was exhausted, finally had a carriage to sit in, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
However, just as the group was about to approach the carriage, Wang Changjin, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and stared at the carriage in front with a serious face.
"Something is wrong!"
The priests behind him looked around in unison as if they were facing a great enemy.
All around, there was a strange silence!
There was no sound.
Even the cold wind around suddenly stopped, and there was no sound at all.
Weird!
Depressing!
"Where are the people?"
A priest quickly realized something, where was the person who was waiting by the carriage?
There was a faint smell of blood in the air!
"Not good!"
Everyone realized something and their faces changed.
"Shua shua shua!"
Several priests and guards drew their swords from their waists, staring at the surroundings with their bodies tense and defensive postures.
Obviously, the person who was supposed to meet them by the carriage disappeared, which meant that something must have happened!
"What, what happened?"
At the same time, the smile on Wang Qin's face gradually froze. Looking at the guards around him who were on high alert, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
What happened?
Wang Changjin looked around and said in a low voice: "Since you are here, why don't you dare to show up?"
No response.
However, the wind suddenly blew around the strange silence, and the cold wind rustled the leaves.
The cold autumn wind whistled through the woods.
"Be careful!"
Realizing something, Wang Changjin's pupils shrank.
"Ah!"
Accompanied by a sharp scream, the priest who was holding a sword and guarding suddenly screamed. The palm that was holding the sword was pierced by a sharp weapon, and blood flowed.
Everyone felt cold in their hearts.
Sure enough, someone ambushed?
They haven't even noticed the other party's existence, and someone has been hit and injured?
This strength has exceeded their expectations.
"Retreat!"
Wang Changjin realized that something was wrong and spoke in a low voice.
At present, the other party is in the dark and they are in the light, so they must not entangle any more.
They can't have any more casualties!
The injured priest quickly tore off his clothes and bandaged his palm, and then he and other priests protected Wang Qin in it and quickly evacuated outside.
The few people were very fast and approached the carriage in a blink of an eye.
As soon as they approached, a strong bloody smell came, and the person who was supposed to meet them by the carriage had indeed fallen in a pool of blood.
There was no one inside or outside the carriage.
"Get in the car!"
Wang Changjin's voice was hurried, with a hint of deep worry.
Wang Qin also realized that something was wrong, his face was pale, and he instinctively struggled to get on the carriage with his hands and feet.
Wang Changjin jumped up and landed on the carriage, holding the reins. When he was about to drive away, the horse that had been quiet on the side suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something, roared to the sky, and rushed forward like crazy.
"Not good!"
Realizing that something was wrong, Wang Changjin got into the carriage, grabbed Wang Qin's shoulders and jumped off the carriage.
The two fell on the grass, making Wang Qin dizzy and screaming.
The out-of-control horse ran straight forward, and soon, it seemed to be frozen in place and fell straight down.
"Boom!"
The carriage then broke into pieces and fell down with a bang.
Seeing this scene, Wang Qin's eyes were dull and his back was cold.
This...
It was too dangerous just now!
"Go!"
Before Wang Qin came to his senses, Wang Changjin grabbed Wang Qin, who was like a broken body, and quickly ran out of the woods.
However, the worshippers who had been standing in the back were not so lucky.
The leaves in the woods rustled, and the strong wind almost bent the trees. In the strong wind, dangers were everywhere. The hidden weapons hidden in the woods were like the weapons of the god of death, ruthlessly and indifferently harvesting everything.
"Ah..."
"Quick, retreat!"
"Send the young master away... Don't worry about me!"
"..."
It was getting dark, and the cold wind was raging.
On the trail.
"Second uncle, I, I can't run anymore!"
Wang Qin's legs trembled, and he fell to the ground, his face was extremely pale, and he breathed in fresh air in big gulps.
He was shaking all over, and he had never had such a thrilling experience.
At this moment, he was exhausted.
Wang Changjin, who was on the side, was not in a much better situation, and he could not hide his fatigue.
He looked back and saw no one behind him.
At this time, only the two of them were left.
In order to give them more time to escape, the other worship masters chose to stay where they were and delay.
Thinking of this, Wang Changjin felt heavy-hearted and sad.
These people have been loyal to the Wang family for many years. Even if something happened to the Wang family, they still stayed with them.
And this time, everything is left here.
"Go, we must go!"
Wang Changjin put away his heavy heart: "We have to run even if we can't run. We can't let them all die in vain."
"But, but..."
Wang Qin's eyes were horrified. He also wanted to run, but now his whole body was weak and he had no strength.
He couldn't run anymore.
Seeing this, Wang Changjin stepped forward quickly and wanted to carry Wang Qin on his back to continue to escape.
But the next second, his face suddenly changed and he turned his head to look forward.
At this moment, it was getting dark.
"Second, second uncle, what, what happened?"
Wang Qin's voice was trembling. What was the reaction of the second uncle?
Could it be...
There was still no one in front.
However, Wang Changjin's face changed drastically. He stared at the front, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Come out!"
"Since you are here, why hide all the time?"
"..."
The cold wind seemed to stop for a while. Not far ahead, a man and a horse slowly walked out of the darkness.
Approaching!
On the tall horseback, a figure in white slowly appeared. As the horse's hooves fell, it gradually appeared in the sight of the uncle and nephew.
When he saw the person coming, Wang Changjin's pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.
Then, he suddenly realized.
"It turned out to be you..."
When he saw the person coming, all Wang Changjin's doubts were solved.
He suddenly remembered why Lin Jiangnian let him go before, and what he said...
It turns out that he had already figured it out!
Everything was in the calculations of the prince of Lin.
He thought he could get away safely, but he didn't expect that he couldn't escape in the end.
"I didn't expect that I would die in your hands in the end."
Wang Changjin showed a bitter smile, as if he was discouraged, and fell to the ground.
On the horse's back, the beautiful and delicate face was calm, and his cold eyes swept over the two people on the ground.
Without a trace of emotion!
Wang Changjin looked up at the familiar figure on the horse's back, and in an instant he seemed to return to the memory of more than ten years ago.
"Time really goes so fast..."
Wang Changjin was in a trance, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Nothing can escape fate. The whole family of the Jiang family was executed back then. I didn't expect that more than ten years later, my Wang family would have the same fate!"
"This is probably retribution, right?"
On the horse's back, Zhiyuan still said nothing, and the cold and murderous intent in his eyes became stronger.
Wang Changjin gave up!
The moment Zhiyuan appeared, he already knew the ending.
Today, he can't escape death!
The child who had survived the Jiang family by chance in the past finally came to seek revenge.
Retribution!
"Retribution!"
At this moment, Wang Changjin seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant, with a vicissitudes of life in his eyes.
He had been calculating for a lifetime, and he thought he was in control of the major families in the entire Xunyang County, and even the governor of Yanzhou. He thought that he could make the Wang family the largest family in Yanzhou, and even one of the largest families in the Daning Dynasty... Everything was in his plan.
However, since the prince Lin appeared in Xunyang City, everything seemed to have changed!
His years of painstaking calculations were in vain overnight!
"I was the one who caused the execution of the entire Jiang family!"
Looking at Zhiyuan on horseback, Wang Changjin slowly said, "I framed and plotted against your Jiang family, and took advantage of your mother's kindness to plan this shocking rebellion..."
The ending had already been concluded, but when Zhiyuan heard Wang Changjin's confession, his eyes were still a little turbulent.
"I am guilty, and the end of the Wang family is retribution. I deserve to die in your hands today!"
"But can I ask you for one last favor?"
There was a hint of begging in Wang Changjin's eyes when he looked at Zhiyuan.
"Qin'er is innocent..."
"If I die, Qin'er is the only blood of the Wang family... He will not pose any threat to you. Can you spare his life and leave the last blood of the Wang family?"
Zhiyuan's cold eyes passed through Wang Qin's terrified pale face, expressionless.
The cold tone was more creepy than the chill in the air.
"No."
Wang Changjin smiled miserably, the ending was expected.
The Jiang family kept her, and destroyed the Wang family more than a decade later. How could she be soft-hearted now?
"Don't you want to know why I wanted to eliminate your Jiang family?"
At this moment, Wang Changjin took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.
Zhiyuan's expression remained unchanged.
"If we eliminate your Jiang family, my Wang family can indeed become the largest family in Xunyang City. But it is not easy to wipe out your Jiang family just for this!"
"I am just a tool they use. There are others who really want your Wang family to die!"
Wang Changjin stared at her: "Let Qiner go, I will tell you everything!"
At this point, Wang Changjin finally did not hide it anymore.
This is his last trump card.
It is also the only hope of survival left until now.
However, Zhiyuan on the horse remained indifferent, his cold eyes fell on Wang Changjin, and he spoke lightly.
"Not interested."
Wang Changjin's pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression was incredulous: "You..."
"The Jiang family's affairs have nothing to do with me, and you..."
Zhiyuan stared at him and said lightly: "You must die."
The understated tone sentenced his fate.
Wang Changjin was shocked, and finally seemed to realize something.
It turned out that his last trump card was not important at all in her eyes.
"They will not let you go..."
Wang Changjin's voice was low: "Back then, your Jiang family offended people who should not have offended, and knew things that should not have been known... They knew you were still alive, and they would never let you go..."
"Our Wang family was silenced, and you can't escape, and Lin Jiangnian..."
"None of you can escape!"
Wang Changjin's face was ashen, and his whole body was trembling.
Who was responsible for the silence of their Wang family overnight?
He already had the answer in his mind!
"Noisy!"
Zhiyuan's impatient tone came, waving his hand, and a strong wind came towards Wang Changjin's face.
Wang Changjin stood there, neither dodging nor avoiding, and the strong wind easily penetrated his body.
"Puff!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Wang Changjin's body shook. He looked up at the kite on the horse's back, his whole body sore and his vision gradually blurred.
He smiled.
He was going to die today, so he didn't hide or resist anymore.
He had already realized the gap in the fight in the secret room, and he had no power to resist.
The only regret was that he didn't see her again, right?
"Bang!"
Wang Changjin's figure fell down with a bang.
"Second uncle?!!"
On the other side, Wang Qin's eyes were about to burst, and he rushed forward like crazy.
When he saw his second uncle covered in blood and no longer breathing, his head was stunned and his eyes were dull.
He stood there in disbelief.
Second uncle, dead?
At this moment, Wang Qin was cold all over.
Second uncle is dead, then, what should he do?
At this moment, a cold gaze fell, and Wang Qin felt like he was falling into an ice cellar.
Looking up, Zhiyuan's cold gaze had locked on him.
"You killed my second uncle, I will fight you!"
Wang Qin's eyes were red, and he stood up and rushed towards Zhiyuan like crazy.
Zhiyuan had no expression on his face, waved his sleeves, and the strong wind instantly knocked Wang Qin out.
Wang Qin fell heavily on the grass, rolled a few times, and suddenly turned around, rolling and crawling towards the bushes beside him.
This is his only chance to survive!
Wang Qin's eyes were sinister, and once his second uncle died, this was his only chance!
However, Wang Qin had just entered the bushes when a fierce murderous intent came from behind him.
There was nowhere to hide!
"Ah!"
With a heavy blow on his back, Wang Qin fell to the ground with a plop, his chest felt stuffy, and he spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Dangdangdang!"
The sound of horse hooves approached behind him.
Wang Qin's eyes were horrified.
"Mercy... Don't, don't kill me..."
"Mercy!"
Realizing that he couldn't escape, Wang Qin immediately burst into tears and begged for mercy.
"..."
Looking at Wang Qin begging for mercy on the ground like a dead dog, Zhiyuan watched the scene coldly.
There was no joy in his heart.
Calm.
As if everything had nothing to do with him.
Even, he felt a little noisy.
Raise your hand and drop it!
A sharp cold wind blew over.
Wang Qin, who was begging for mercy with a horrified face, had his pupils widened and his body stiffened in place. A line of blood appeared on his originally thin neck.
The next second, blood flowed.
The blood was sealed!
"Plop!"
Wang Qin's eyes were unbelievable and he fell to the ground stiffly.
No breath!
Dead!
Killing Wang Qin with his own hands, the last bloodline of the Wang family is extinct!
From now on, there is no Xunyang Wang family in the world!
The grudges from more than ten years ago also disappeared from this moment!
Zhiyuan looked up and looked forward, but her eyes gradually became confused.
Revenge!
But her heart was always empty, as if she couldn't find a home.
The sky was completely dark, and the cold wind blew around, blowing on her face, cold and icy.
But she couldn't feel the cold at all.
At this moment, there was an inexplicable sense of loneliness.
Then, a familiar face suddenly appeared in her mind.
Inexplicably, there was a sense of security.
The original loneliness and confusion seemed to be washed away.
At the same time, a strong impulse surged in her heart.
She suddenly had an urge to see him!
…
