Chapter 411 - Escape (2)
Chapter 411: Escape (2)
“No!”
Gong Yi Mo wanted to pull him aside, but Jin Yun had already made up his mind. He walked over to the kneeling gate head and took the key from his neck without any hesitation.
Gong Yi Mo forcibly blocked his path, no longer caring about the royal troops that were quickly approaching them from behind.
“No! I won’t allow it! There must be some other way! You’re not allowed to do something so stupid!”
But Jin Yun only took her hand and walked forward together. At first, the thickly gathered guards at the front of the gate wouldn’t move, but they were not as ruthless as the royal guards. They were also afraid to hurt Jin Yun, and so the sea of swords slowly parted, providing them a clear path.
“My life was given to me from you. If the two of us are apart, then that’s a life not worth living. Someone who lives like that is not someone you should be concerned with!”
He continued to reassure Gong Yi Mo, saying, “I haven’t put these years to waste. They only caught me by surprise today and I had no defense prior. Once daytime comes, I’ll come up with a way. I’ll be fine!”
Now, the royal troops were a little over a hundred meters away. There was no way for her to escape now!
Gong Yi Mo clenched her teeth. As her thoughts only became more tangled, she was only pulled closer to the door of the gate by Jin Yun!
After the giant key was inserted into the gate’s door, Jin Yun used his strength to push the switch. As the door slowly opened, the deep groaning of the heavy doors rang deeply in everyone’s hearts.
He actually opened the city gates!
In that instant, Gong Yi Mo suddenly remembered that in her past life, due to frustration towards Yu Heng as well as not wanting her to go through more difficulties, he also opened the gates with his own hands to let her in, only to have his bones be grinded and burned by the emperor!
“Jin Yun!”
She frantically held onto his arm. Jin Yun had never seen her so worried before.
“I’ll be fine.”
He felt his heart being filled with warmth, both of his eyes were pinned on her. He took her hand, despite the pain that coursed through his heart, and pushed her out the gates!
“Jin Yun!”
The gates had only been opened to a crack, and was immediately blocked by Jin Yun. Gong Yi Mo frantically turned back, but was unable to see anything that was happening behind her. The steps from afar only came closer and closer as well as the sound of horse hooves. After a moment, she seemed to have heard Jin Sheng’s cry of anger!
She couldn’t leave like this! If Jin Yun were to stay and withstand the anger of the Yu Heng emperor, then she’d rather stay, as all of this was her responsibility to begin with!
“Go!”
Jin Yun heard Jin Sheng’s voice from behind him, but he stared firmly at her.
“I’ll be fine. You have to believe me at least once! I’m...not as weak as you think I am!”
Gong Yi Mo turned around and stopped. If she decided to turn around and head back, it’d be hurting Jin Yun’s dignity!
Yes, he had already opened the city gates. Whether or not she returned, he’d be punished as a result, but her being able to escape instead of getting caught were two completely different outcomes! But the fate of Jin Yun in her last life was still burned deep into her heart. She couldn’t leave!
She just couldn’t leave!
Seeing her expression so troubled, Jin Yun couldn’t help but smile. The wind that swept through the city doors tossed his hair wildly, his golden crown having fallen off during some time that time. A haggard yet still beautiful appearance!
She didn’t abandon him, she never did. She had saved him many times, so now it was his turn to save her!
And so, while Gong Yi Mo was still stunned, Jin Yun suddenly shut the gate, not even speaking another word!
“Jin Yun! Jin Yun!!”
Gong Yi Mo panicked, reaching out and beginning to abng on the city gates. But how was such a small person like her supposed to open such a giant door? Jin Yun took out the keys and stood with his back to the gates. He could see the horses coming towards him, and how Jin Sheng’s eyes seemed to spit fire at him!
He touched the brocade box in his box, painfully smiling.
He had actually wanted to ask Gong Yi Mo one thing.
After you leave this time, will you ever return?
Sadly, he never got the chance.
