The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 109 Thrown Into Sheet Then

“Miaoling!” Huang Yade shouted loudly, trying to get to his sister. However, he knew that he could not.

On the other hand, looking at the sword drifting towards him, Huang Miaoling froze on the spot. He could hear the sound of people screaming, but he could not move, as if his body knew there was no time to dodge.

The crisp sound of cracks could Huang Miaoling hear. The lady's bead glanced to the right, at the sword that stuck in the stone lining the streets of the palace's main courtyard. ‘Dia ... not kill me?’ his mind in the heart.

The answer Huang Miaoling got was a rough jubilee on his tied hair. Wang Chengliu brought his face closer, put on a horrible smile, “Do you think I will kill you so easily?” Seeing Huang Miaoling grimace, the man felt extremely satisfied. “Yes, this is what I should have done in those days. Who would have thought Huang Wushuang was more impatient than me?” muttered.

Huang Miaoling spat and cussed, “Perset*n with you, Wang Chengliu! You'll regret not killing me today!”

A loud slap Wang Chengliu withered on the woman's face in his grip, causing Huang Miaoling to slip out of his grasp. The woman's head hit the street rock hard.

Immediately, Huang Miaoling lost his consciousness.

“J*lang, I'll make sure you beg to die,” Wang Chengliu said in a low voice. The bead was then directed towards Huang Yade who was being held back by Wei Shulin. “Chenxiao! Clean everything!”

“Good, Your Majesty!” reply Chenxiao sparingly while carrying out his master's orders. “Catch everything!”

“Empress! Huang Miaoling!” that voice sounded so familiar, but it was also unfamiliar. The man's shout was so painful, so heartbreaking. “Princible brother, Brother is guilty of you!” the man sobbed, leaking out the fact that he was crying so heartbreakingly.

‘Kakak?’ inner Huang Miaoling, unable to see anything other than the darkness that filled his gaze. The woman could not move her body, but she could feel a warmth surrounding her. ‘Who is hugging me?’ Huang Miaoling could feel a warm stream on the side of his face. ‘She cried?’

Suddenly, the sound of door squeaks rang out, followed by the voice of a woman saying, “Minister Huang, we must leave immediately.”

The woman's voice made Huang Miaoling frown, ‘Yuanli?’ He was sure it was Yuanli's voice! How could the girl be together with Huang Yade? He shouldn't be here! ‘Wait, did Brother call me with a call ... ‘Priest’?’ Huang Miaoling became increasingly dizzy. ‘Maybe this ... last life?’

Feeling the shock to his body, Huang Miaoling heard Yuanli again say, this time in a tone of disbelief, “You will take him?!”

What does that girl mean?

“Yang Mulia .. would like to meet him,” reply man who is none other than Huang Yade. His voice was raucous, making Huang Miaoling really unable to suspect it was the voice of his own brother. “In addition, the girl said there is still a chance, I ...” Huang Miaoling felt the grip on his body tighten, and the man's voice came back, “Anyway, I will take him!”

‘Yang ... Noble? Wang Chengliu's? No, it doesn't make sense.’

Heavy-sounding footsteps started approaching, Yuanli said in a low voice, “We have to go now!”

Huang Miaoling could feel Huang Yade starting to run with his body in a sling. Then, for a moment, the warmth of her brother's embrace disappeared, before she finally felt she was sitting on something. Huang Miaoling then felt Huang Yade's hands curling around her waist, holding her tightly so as not to fall.

The grunts of horses as well as the shouts that accompanied the act of horse racing could be heard. At that time, Huang Miaoling also knew that he was on a horse with his brother.

“Minister Huang! This way!” shouted another man.

At this moment, Yuanli exclaimed, “Yunlin!” There was relief in his tone of speech. “How about Your Majesty?”

“It's safe, you're the only ones left!” Yunlin answered. Then, there was doubt in his tone, “I-this ...” From a clearer voice, Huang Miaoling suspected she was facing towards him, or towards the man who was hugging her, “How could he treat Empress Huang like this?!”

Hugs on Huang Miaoling tightened. “We have to go,” said Huang Yade, can the woman feel the bitterness of her brother.

Huang Miaoling felt like his head wanted to break, there was something he could not understand that was trying to suppress him. ‘How ... how could I not remember the figure of Yunlin and Yuanli in the past life? I don't understand!’ scream the woman in the heart.

I don't know how long it has been, but Huang Miaoling could feel the wind blowing fiercely, sending the sound of chaos to his ears clearly. The swords clashed, the sound of weathered wood consumed by fire, the bangs produced by buildings that began to collapse, as well as the cries of pain and the cries of death.

Huang Miaoling sure .. This is the sound of war.

“Don't let that traitor go!” scream someone. From his words, it was clear that he was from the side that wanted to capture Huang Yade. “Huang Yade cannot leave the palace, nor can Huang Miaoling's body!”

“They found us!” yelled Yuanli who was not far from Huang Miaoling's side, his soldier was also spurring his horse to leave the place where Empress Huang believed to be the palace.

At this time, Yunlin exclaimed, “I'll hold him down!”

“No, Yunlin!” Huang Yade shouted in panic. “Back here!”

With a determined voice, Yunlin was heard replying, “You must go!” The man added, “I am your escort's bodyguard, Minister Huang. Let me do my job.”

“Go!” yunlin growled followed by the footsteps of a number of horses that were getting closer. “Go! The Huang family must survive!”

The last thing Huang Miaoling heard .. was Yuanli's shout, “Yunlin!”

***

I don't know how much time passed, but as soon as he regained his senses, Huang Miaoling found himself standing in a room. Unlike the previous one, this time Huang Miaoling could see.

‘Where is this?’ huang Miaoling asked when he found himself in the middle of a room so magnificent and spacious. ‘Wait, this ... main hall?!’ his mind when he saw the golden throne engraved the dragon on the stage. ‘How I—’

Before he finished his inner self, Huang Miaoling heard the cry of someone behind him. “Baj*ngan!” Huang Miaoling quickly turned his head, finding a man was levitating a kick on the body of another man. “Apply to Empress Huang? Are you kidding me now, Rong Gui?” furious at the man in his robe of honor, the emperor, Wang Chengliu.

The man who fell to the floor tried to get back on his knees. “Your Majesty, I believe Empress Huang is innocent! Even if he did something wrong, he has done a lot for this kingdom. The smallest thing you can do for her is carry out the death ritual for—!” A kick back was thrown at him.

“What did you say?! Thriving?” w.a.n.g Chengliu shouted with a horrifying face. “In addition, don't you call him by calling ‘Permaisuri’. Didn't you hear the announcement that the woman is no longer the empress?! He's lower than the waiter!” The man put on a mocking smile. “Even after he dies, he can still bring me trouble! I won't let him die in peace!”

Seeing the debate of the two people, Huang Miaoling became very confused. ‘What ... is actually happening? Is this ... after my death in the past life? How can I see these things?’ Then, he focused on Rong Gui. ‘Moreover, Rong Gui ..’

“Your Majesty!” Rong Gui put on a face of disbelief. “Conscious! Empress Huang has sacrificed so much for you! The throne you are sitting on right now is the throne he obtained in exchange for the blood of his troops, his family!”

A question also arises in Huang Miaoling's heart, ‘Is Rong Gui crazy?! Saying that was tantamount to asking Wang Chengliu to take his life!’

As Huang Miaoling suspected, Wang Chengliu glared. The man's eyes turned red, and he looked so angry. Wang Chengliu spread one hand towards another man in the corner of the room, a soldier.

Seeing Wang Chengliu's movements, the soldier was wide-eyed. He stared in disbelief at the ruler of the kingdom and said with a huff, “Y-Your Majesty, you can't possibly mean—”

“Give me your sword!” w.a.n.g Chengliu shouted loudly.

The soldier quickly turned his gaze to Rong Gui. He knew how important the man before him was in the kingdom. However, now Wang Chengliu wanted to get rid of him just because of a woman who was already absent?!

“Do you intend to rebel as well?!” yang Chengliu snapped again for not getting the thing he asked for.

Finally, the soldier gave his sword to the emperor. He gritted his teeth, and threw away a face to not see the miserable ending of the Investigator Rong.

“Rong Gui, tell me,” said Wang Chengliu, bringing the sword closer to the side of his neck, “would you not stop pleading for Huang Miaoling?!”

“ Empress Huang thought only of the good of the country, as well as your kindness, Your Majesty,” replied Rong Gui while prostrating, ignoring the blood that began to flow through her neck. “What will the people say if no death ritual is performed for him?!”

Huang Miaoling who saw that frowned. ‘Rong Gui is crazy!’ his yell. However, inwardly, the woman knew that Investigator Rong did not simply want to defend her, ‘He just wanted Wang Chengliu to stop making mistakes ...’

Rong Gui straightened his back, still on his knees. His eyes looked at Wang Chengliu expectantly, wanting the man to realize that letting Huang Miaoling's body just rot away in the cold palace was a wrong decision.

“Nobody's ever been wrong in Empress's actions, she's just—”

Unable to Rong Gui finish his words, the door of the main hall opened, revealing a man stepping in hastily. Huang Miaoling's eyes squinted when he saw the figure of the man walking in, ‘Chenxiao.’

Chenxiao threw a glance at Rong Gui who was kneeling on the floor. He ignored the investigator and turned to Wang Chengliu, “Your Majesty, Minister Huang managed to escape from prison.”

“What?!” Wang Chengliu shouted. “How is it possible?! Have you told people to go after him!?”

Chenxiao knelt on one leg, “Sorry, Your Majesty,” he said with a frown. “I didn't catch him. His escort's bodyguard, Yunlin, intercepts and outwits the team.” Then, his head lowered. “In addition, Empress—”'s body Her speech stopped, doubtful how to mention Huang Miaoling, also explained the thing that happened to the woman's body.

Hearing this, Wang Chengliu's face grew even worse. “He took her?!” The man's eyes seemed to want to come out of his socket when he saw Chenxiao nod his head. “Who?! Who helped them?!” growled with a voice that makes the heart feel cold—takut.

Chenxiao separated his lips, but before any reply came out of his mouth, Huang Miaoling's body suddenly sucked backwards forcefully. The view of the main hall and the people in the room drifted away, and the darkness quickly swallowed everything.

At that moment, a pair of fiery red beads appeared amidst the darkness. There is only one person who has that eye in this world, “Lu .. Si?”

With a horrifying look in his eyes, Lu Si said, “You shouldn't be here, scram!”
