From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 408

Full moon, high mountain forest, silvery light.

Black dress, colorful accessories, jingling bells.

Deep sigh, clear eyes, delicate face illuminated by candlelight.

Howling wolves in the distance, chirping insects nearby, heavy breathing...

The two people's sights intertwined, this moment was so beautiful, and so desperate.

Zhou Yuan looked at her and said slowly: "Wanyan Daichan, how about we make a bet?"

"I dare not."

Wanyan Daichan's voice was very calm.

She looked at Zhou Yuan, her eyes flickering, and whispered: "You are too smart. I don't think I can beat you under fair betting conditions."

"So I chose the safest method, not agreeing to anything, just killing people."

Speaking of this, she laughed and said: "I learned this from you. You always do things this way."

Zhou Yuan nodded, and had no choice but to draw his sword and said with a wry smile: "Then... I have no choice but to fight to the death."

"Why?"

Wanyan Daichan said: "You know my strength. You don't even have the qualifications to fight back in front of me."

Zhou Yuan said: "Then I beg for mercy? For the sake of our past relationship, will you spare my life?"

Wanyan Daichan did not laugh this time, but remained silent.

After a long silence, she sighed and said, "Yes, I like you so much after all, I should give you a way out."

"If I were a girl from an ordinary family, I would not only give you a way out, but also protect you at all costs."

"Unfortunately, I am a shaman princess. We Jurchens have come to this point and paid countless lives and blood. I dare not keep you for the Jurchens."

"Zhou Yuan, you will understand me, right? You will forgive me, right?"

Zhou Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Understand, but not forgive."

"Alas... I didn't let them come, I came alone."

Wanyan Daichan said, "They are not worthy of killing you, you can only die in my hands!"

She finally stopped hesitating, and her body was like a residual shadow, and she directly attacked Zhou Yuan with a palm.

Zhou Yuan's face suddenly became ferocious, and he raised his sword and slashed at it.

Wanyan Daichan's delicate palm gently clenched, and then stretched out two fingers to clamp Zhou Yuan's sword directly.

She whispered, "Even if you have the skills of Cangzhou Iron Sword, you should not be unable to escape. It's a pity that you are too weak, and your sword is..."

Before she finished her words, she suddenly felt a domineering force of extreme yang and strength coming directly at her. The sword in her hand could no longer resist and pierced her throat.

Wanyan Daichan dodged sideways and looked at Zhou Yuan. Her face became extremely ugly. She said coldly, "Well, it turns out that your daily practice has really achieved results. I almost let my guard down."

Zhou Yuan said, "It's a pity that my little progress is still nothing in your eyes."

Wanyan Daichan said, "I really didn't expect that you were so busy with official duties, but you could make so much progress in your kung fu."

A black full moon appeared above her head, which was the light condensed by her internal force.

She rushed towards Zhou Yuan, and this time she didn't hold back. The palm power was like a gust of wind, lifting up the fallen leaves on the ground.

Zhou Yuan retreated in embarrassment and blocked every palm of the opponent with his sword, but the overflow of internal force still made him feel severe pain all over his body and stuffy in his chest.

The moment he stopped, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and felt that all his strength was drained.

Wanyan Daichan said: "Don't struggle, Zhou Yuan, let me finish you with one palm, I guarantee that there will be no pain, and you won't be so embarrassed."

Zhou Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gritted his teeth and said: "I guess I won't have the chance to reach your level in this life, otherwise I wouldn't be afraid even if I walked on such a mountain road alone."

Wanyan Daichan shook her head and said: "You had the opportunity to become powerful. As long as you practiced dual cultivation with Princess Qinshui, your internal force would increase rapidly. It's a pity that you didn't do that. Your heart is not cruel enough."

"Of course, this is why I like you One of them. "

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to struggle anymore. It's meaningless and will only make things worse."

Wanyan Daichan said, "I will take your body to Yunzhou and bury you there, so that you can return to your roots."

Zhou Yuan said, "For the sake of our past friendship, can you answer me a question before I die?"

Wanyan Daichan frowned and said, "Okay."

Zhou Yuan swallowed and said solemnly, "Nurhaci, is he dying?"

Wanyan Daichan's face changed drastically, and she raised her head suddenly, with murderous intent in her eyes.

She gathered her internal strength in her palm and strode towards Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and said slowly, "Looking at your reaction, I think I know the answer. He is sick and he won't have much time left."

Wanyan Daichan said, "No matter what your reason for asking this question is, you should understand my worries.I really don't dare to let you live, you are too smart. "

She raised her palm, tears already in her eyes, gritted her teeth and said: "Zhou Yuan, I owe you, I will be your slave in the next life and pay you back."

She slapped down hard.

"Bang!"

A loud noise suddenly broke the sky and the earth, and at the moment when the fire burst out, Wanyan Daichan felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, her body kept retreating, and blood flowed from her mouth.

Zhou Yuan got up and ran, quickly disappearing into the night.

Wanyan Daichan was furious, and screamed to the sky: "You can't run away! Zhou Yuan! You didn't show mercy to me either! "

The severe pain almost tore her apart, and the indescribable burning sensation made her realize that she was in a very bad condition.

Zhou Yuan, he hid it so well, why did he have a musket!

Wanyan Daichan hurriedly sat down cross-legged, used her power to suppress the injury, then tore open her sleeves and tightly wrapped the wound on her lower abdomen.

She didn't bother to take out the iron beads, she didn't dare to let go of the person in front of her who made her love and hate.

She endured the pain and chased forward with all her strength.

But her speed was not that fast after all. The two chased each other until dawn, and finally stopped.

Zhou Yuan was exhausted, lying on the ground and vomiting, and his whole body was shaking.

Wanyan Daichan was pale and covered with sweat, and walked forward with gritted teeth.

"You actually have a musket! "

Her voice was extremely cold.

Zhou Yuan panted with a grin, and said with a smile: "Always. After Cangzhou Tiejian stabbed me, His Majesty gave me a musket. I didn't tell anyone."

"Knowing shame leads to courage. I won't fall in the same place twice. I always carry this musket with me and never leave it."

Wanyan Daichan said: "You know I can dodge it!"

Zhou Yuan said: "I don't know. I don't know if masters like you are afraid of muskets, but I dare not gamble. I can only wait for you to relax the most and shoot you."

Wanyan Daichan said coldly: "It's a pity that you didn't hit the vital point!"

Zhou Yuan said: "That's because it was too dark, and the accuracy of this musket is very average after all."

Wanyan Daichan said: "I still have strength, I can still kill you, you can't escape."

Zhou Yuan panted: "How can you be sure that I only have one bullet? "

He stretched out his right hand from his sleeve, and aimed a fine musket at Wanyan Daichan, the muzzle still seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Wanyan Daichan subconsciously took two steps back, and then took a few steps forward.

She sneered: "Pretentious, you haven't had time to refill the gunpowder and iron balls yet? You've been running since you fired the gun, and have been running until now."

"You need at least ten breaths to refill the gunpowder and iron balls, which is enough for me to kill you."

Zhou Yuan said: "Try it!"

He looked at Wanyan Daichan coldly, with only murderous intent in his eyes.

Wanyan Daichan said: "I know you, you and I are so similar, if there were iron balls in it, you would have fired the gun, you wish I were dead."

Zhou Yuan panted, his right hand slowly dropped, and said: "You win. "

Wanyan Daichan was almost exhausted. She took off the hairpin on her head and used her internal strength to stab Zhou Yuan directly.

Just at this moment, a long sword came whistling and blocked the fatal hairpin accurately with a clanging sound.

Where did this person come from in the wilderness!

The two of them changed their expressions and looked to the side.

In the withered grass, a thin middle-aged man stood up.

His expression was distorted and his eyes were red, but he still gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Lord Dharma King, please let the Holy Envoy go!"

"Yu Feng?"

Wanyan Daichan said sternly: "You are crazy! You are my man! How dare you help him!"

"You idiot, can't you see it! He is not a member of the Holy Church at all! He is not a shitty Holy Envoy!"

Yu Feng shouted at the top of his lungs: "But he saved my life!"

"He treated me as a brother! Give me money to spend! Let me be an instructor! Give me dignity! Let me live like a human being! "

"In my heart, he is the Holy Envoy!"

He strode over, picked up the sword stuck in the ground, and looked at Wanyan Daichan.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Dharma King, please spare our lives and let us go!"
