After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

The screams by the river, mixed with the whimpering wind, lasted for a long time.

The crackling sound of the bones was like a cruel and long punishment, which was chilling.

Chang's and Zhang Yuanwang struggled and howled, their blood soaked into the soil, and the strong smell of blood made people sick.

While they were still awake, their bones were broken by the dark guards.

Even death has become a luxury.

The young man standing on the bank of the river with his hands behind his back, dressed in a black robe, is dignified and cool.

He stared at the river flowing eastward, and slowly stroked the ring between his fingers, Danfeng's eyes were unpredictable.

The 100,000 troops summoned are carrying out a carpet search along the lower reaches of the Minjiang River.

Jin Wuxi sank.

The setting sun gradually spread out on the river, and the undulating mountains in the distance were dyed with warm gold.

Shi Yan walked behind Xiao Yi, lowered his eyes, and said in a soft voice: "Master, from here to the downstream for a hundred miles, I didn't find the girl in Baoyi. The old man fishing on the river and the people living along the river also said that they didn't see anyone. Washed ashore..."

His voice gradually dropped.

Wordless fear rose from the soles of his feet, because he had been with Xiao Yi since he was a child, so he knew exactly what Miss Baoyi meant to his master.

Girl Baoyi loved to bully her master since she was a child, and many hidden guards were angry for her master, thinking that the master must hate that bear girl very much.

But……

He had seen how his master treated Baoyi girl when he was young.

Baoyi girl was naughty when she was young, she ran around the house as soon as she learned to run, fell into a snowdrift in winter and fell unconscious, it was the master who quietly sent her back to the dormitory.

When Baoyi girl burned his collection of books, he was not only not angry, but bought a batch of books back and put them in the original place, silently looking forward to her coming to Piqua Courtyard to continue burning.

The girl in Baoyi ordered him to eat the peaches she hadn't finished eating, but the master was not too dirty, and gnawed the peach pits clean with the imprint of her gnawing.

Baoyi girl's kite landed on the rockery, and the master picked it up secretly, wiped it clean and hid it in the pile of old papers, looking through it from time to time.

The master always treats the people around him silently and coldly.

He knew he was special,

Therefore, he always puts on an air of pretentiousness, refuses to get close to anyone, and refuses to show the vigor of a teenager.

Only when facing Baoyi girl, he looks like a boy with flesh and blood.

And the young Xiao Yi quietly gave all his tenderness to the little girl of the Nan family.

Now that girl was washed away by the river.

He deeply believed that if she couldn't be found, the whole Shu county would be destroyed by a bloodbath.

Jiang Feng whimpered like a beast.

Xiao Yi tilted his head, and kissed the two rings between his fingers forgetfully.

This is what Nan Jiaojiao gave him.

He loves like a treasure.

Ten Yan asked anxiously: "Master, what should we do next?"

The worst situation is that Baoyi girl is swallowed by the river.

Even if there are 100,000 troops to salvage, it may be too late...

Xiao Yi didn't answer him.

He untied the red hair rope wrapped around his wrist, and held the winning coin that Nan Jiaojiao gave him.

He smiled at the torrential river: "Folk legend, throwing coins into the river is a sacrifice to the Dragon King, and you can pray for peace. I want to use this "auspicious star" to bribe the Dragon King and let him bless you. Nan Jiaojiao is safe and sound, she is alive and waiting for me to pick her up."

Ten words frowned.

His master doesn't believe in ghosts and gods.

But because of Miss Baoyi, he actually wanted to make an exception and bribe the Dragon King...

"Master," he reminded softly, "there are no gods in the world. The so-called gods are just things that the common people imagine out of thin air and talk about as sustenance."

Xiao Yi ignored him.

He tossed that winning money into the air.

The ancient copper coins soon sank into the river and disappeared without a trace.

The next moment, Xiao Yi faced the river straight and fell!

"master!"

Ten words of horror.

He didn't have time to grab Xiao Yi's sleeve and watched him fall into the river!

...

How can there be gods in the world?

The so-called gods are nothing more than imaginations of the living, used to remember the dead and pray for blessings for the loved ones.

Xiao Yi was ups and downs in the river.

He let the vortex and current at the bottom of the river send him to an unknown place.

If, if Nan Jiaojiao hadn't been washed ashore, then she must still be somewhere under the water, waiting for her second brother to rescue her.

Nan Jiaojiao, my brother is here...

Xiao Yi had a gentle smile on his thin lips.

Another stream of water slapped him, and he went deeper into the river.

...

Due to the severe drought in Shu County, the water level of the Minjiang River was much lower than usual.

Both sides of the embankment are exposed to the air, and many dark caves appear on the mud wall, which are the remains of the mausoleum left by the funeral in ancient times.

Nan Baoyi was awakened by the pain.

She was lying on her stomach in the wet mud, her entire right leg seemed to be useless, and the pain in her knee spread like a needle prick, dense and endless, causing her whole body to convulse.

Her thin white hands clung to the soil fiercely, the veins on the back of her hands popped out, her beautiful and bright face was twisted in pain, and her teeth bit her lips.

pain……

very painful...

She was in so much pain that she really wanted to bite Chang's mother and son to death!

She looked around with tears in her eyes.

The light is dim.

The cave has wet soil and is probably a cave on the embankment of the Minjiang River.

The cave is damp, and the air is filled with the rotten smell of fish and shrimp, which is disgusting.

There are traces of artificial excavation nearby, and there is even an ever-bright lampstand that only appeared in the mausoleum on the wall. After years of changes, it has long been rusted and dilapidated.

And directly in front of her, there was an ancient and heavy stone coffin.

Nan Baoyi wiped away tears pitifully.

There is probably no one more tragic than her in the world. First her leg was broken, and then washed into other people's tombs by the river. Now she has to stay with the coffin!

She glanced at the sarcophagus.

If no one came to rescue her, she thought she could just climb into the coffin and lie down.

Even the coffin is saved!

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

With tears in her eyes, she dragged her crippled right leg and crawled out of the cave with a strong desire to survive.

When she came back from rebirth, she hadn't seen enough of the scenery of Jinguan City, she hadn't sent pearls to the sedan chair, she hadn't performed filial piety at her grandmother's knees, she hadn't even taken revenge, how could she die in such a ghostly place?

The pain in the knee was piercing.

She failed to climb out of the cave, and passed out from the terrible pain.

After half a stick of incense, there were dark guards who looked like spiders and searched along the embankment of the Minjiang River.

They were dressed in black dresses with uniform wolf heads embroidered on the skirts of their robes, and they were all very skilled.

One of them appeared in the cave, glanced at Nan Baoyi, and whistled softly.

Other men in black rushed over.

The leader looked at the inner and outer coffins, and calmly ordered: "Put her outer clothes in front of the cave to attract Xiao Yi's attention. Let's push the lid of the sarcophagus together, throw this girl in, and then bury a sufficient amount of her clothes above the cave." The explosives, when Xiao Yi came over, directly blew up here!"
