Chapter 412 World Chapter Final Battle of Xuanyong (16)

"Where is this place? Hey, who am I?"

Looking at the girl who had just woken up and was looking at him with extremely innocent and pure eyes, Gao Jianli felt a deep sense of frustration for the first time in his life!
"How could this happen!" He punched the wall in anger to vent his inner dissatisfaction and frustration.

Amnesia? How is that possible? Does this mean that the assassination skills inherited from the Jing family have also been forgotten by this girl? Damn it! Then why did he risk so much to save the girl? !

Bang!
Another heavy punch hit the wall, and cracks spread. Layers of dust fell from the top of the dim palace.

Just as Gao Jianli was still angry, a cold and soft touch suddenly came from his other hand -

Gao Jianli was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously looked down and found that the girl sitting beside the bed was holding his hand tightly, looking up at him with a little worry and confusion on her little face.

It is said that some animals, when they are born, will regard the first creature they see as a relative, and even develop an affection beyond the scope of family affection, and will stay with the creature for the rest of their lives.

At this moment, the girl who had already lost her memory, looked at him pitifully with a misty gaze that made me feel sorry for her, like a weak newborn baby. She was at a loss, but at the same time, she showed a trace of concern from her instinct.
At that moment, Gao Jianli stared at the girl's extremely clear and pure eyes, and remained silent for a long time.

He somehow kept the girl by his side.

Gao Jianli didn't know why, so he could only comfort himself that this was all for the realization of his plan.

After that, Gao Jianli began another long journey. While taking care of the amnesiac girl, he searched everywhere for famous doctors, hoping to find a way to restore the girl's memory.

And this trip lasted for a full six months.

Along the way, they met countless refugees displaced by war, saw countless broken families, and witnessed brutal wars repeated time and time again. In this era of war, everyone was in danger and panic.

Of course, there were also some happy moments along the way.

The girl who lost her memory shed the coldness and sharpness of their first encounter and became gentle and lively. She would squat alone by a clear stream and stare blankly at the swimming fish, would gently take care of the injured animals on the roadside, would face Gao Jianli with a beautiful and innocent smile, would cry for the miserable plight of the refugees, would secretly take Gao Jianli's money to distribute to the refugees, and then run back pitifully to apologize to the crying and amused Gao Jianli.

Of course, the result of the apology is often that Gao Jianli can't resist the girl's ruthless coquettish offensive, and the two of them can only sleep outdoors together.
Along the way, the girl did cause a lot of trouble, so much so that Gao Jianli often wondered what sin he had committed to save such a silly girl?
But even so, Gao Jianli would occasionally have such a strange thought: What does it matter if the world rises or falls? In fact, it might be good to wander around with the girl for the rest of his life.
However, as mentioned before, a person's life is destined to be full of ups and downs. At least for Gao Jianli after the age of 26, his luck seemed to have come to an end.

It was an accident, but it seemed destined.

One day during the journey, when Gao Jianli was taking A Ke past an ancient mountain site, he stood alone on the top of the cliff, looking at the vastness of the world and the smallness of the mountains. He couldn't help feeling heroic. He sat on the edge of the cliff, facing the vast world and playing the guitar that he always carried with him.

It is a tragic and majestic piece of music that has been passed down for thousands of years. Influenced by the scene, Gao Jianli played it to the extreme with his excellent piano skills. It is magnificent, broad and magnificent. It is intense and tragic, just like the first ray of morning light in the darkness before dawn, giving people the most direct and real feeling.
Gao Jianli, inspired by his feelings, played the music with abandon, enjoying it until the air around him became increasingly cold, until it reached freezing point.
“?!!” When Gao Jianli, who finally realized something was wrong, turned around, the music suddenly stopped.

At that moment, the whole world fell silent, leaving only the howling sound of the wind.

The docile and lively girl who had been standing behind him had disappeared. Her pretty face was expressionless and her eyes were sharp and cold, just like when they first met, like a sharp ice cone piercing Gao Jianli's heart.

"You will lead me to carry out our family's beliefs, right?" A familiar yet unfamiliar cold voice came from Ake's slightly parted lips.

Gao Jianli lowered his head slightly and slowly put down the guitar in his hand. His passion was fading away, leaving only a colder and colder heart.

"Yes."

He replied in this tone in an extremely calm voice, then looked down at the world below the mountain top without saying another word.

Inheriting the will of the Jing family, the memory of A'ke, the Blade of Faith, was finally restored.

But why? Why is he so lost in his heart?
They once again embarked on the journey of revenge.

There were two people when we came, and there were still two people when we left.

Although they are still together along the way, some things have changed quietly.

The innocent girl was gone, becoming as cold, silent and sharp as before. She no longer stared at the fish in the stream, nor shed tears for the refugees passing by, and she would not snuggle in his arms like a child to keep warm and act coquettishly when night fell. Most of the time, Ake just sat far away in a dark corner in silence.

In any case, Gao Jianli has no choice, because this is the story that started with him, and it is also A Ke's fate.
Therefore, Gao Jianli and Ake returned to Xuanyong. At the same time, Gao Jianli also took the risk of taking Ake to "defect" to the Xuanyong camp, in order to go deep into Xuanyong. He planned to win the trust of Ying Zheng and wait for an opportunity to give Ying Zheng a fatal blow!
however--

As Gao Jianli spent more and more time in contact with Xuanyong’s internal system, he slowly began to despair.

Not to mention the tens of thousands of Xuanyong guards who were armed to the teeth, let alone the Jixia black and white chess troops who had been lurking behind Ying Zheng, there were always a large number of difficult-to-defeat enemies guarding Ying Zheng alone; Miyue, Lu Ban, Bian Que, and Bai Qi, the ultimate weapon that frightened countless enemy soldiers. These people were all royal generals who were feared by Xuanyong. In fact, how could the two of them alone possibly defeat this group of elite heroes picked from hundreds of miles away?
However, the most terrifying thing was the person they wanted to assassinate: Ying Zheng.

that man
Whenever Gao Jianli thought of the horrible feeling of oppression when he first met Ying Zheng, he would always feel despair and powerlessness from the bottom of his heart!

At least for Gao Jianli, Ying Zheng is simply the top existence among their mage heroes! Facing Ying Zheng, even he, who has always regarded himself as a genius, can't bear his brilliant brilliance and can't look at him!
Ying Zheng, the emperor who ruled Xuanyong, was no longer comparable to ordinary heroes, and could even be said to be a monster-level existence that surpassed [Legend of Demonic Dao]!
To be honest, since Gao Jianli brought Ake to "join" Xuanyong, he actually had many opportunities to attack Ying Zheng with Ake, but every time, he missed the opportunity due to his hesitation.

Gao Jianli was not afraid of death, he just had some concerns; he was afraid that even the days of living with A Ke would be gone. But Gao Jianli could not make a decision, and could not think of any way to change the authorities.

It is true that they could not really kill Ying Zheng. At the beginning, Gao Jianli's original plan was to kill Ying Zheng once, causing chaos inside Xuanyong, thereby temporarily obstructing Xuanyong's external aggression to achieve the effect of "stopping the war". For Ake, assassinating Ying Zheng was more of a belief and a commitment.

This kind of belief is difficult for ordinary people to understand, but Gao Jianli knew that Ake, who inherited her brother's will and family hatred, had no way out.

Because for Ake, the so-called rest of her life is something she is only qualified to talk about after she has fulfilled her brother's last wish and the family's blood feud.

This is the bondage that the Jing family has placed on her, and it is also her destiny.

Gao Jianli, who was leaning against a boulder and covered with wounds, slowly opened his eyes. He raised his head slightly and looked at the vast sky above his head with a complicated expression.

In the battle in the middle, Wang Yao's final blow was merciless, but it was calculated precisely and cleverly, and was just a little bit away from killing him!
Of course, Gao Jianli knew very well that Wang Yao did this for a reason, because if he didn't do this, the "agreement" between them would not be able to be concealed from the emperor in Xuanyong Highlands who was secretly spying on the canyon battlefield.

Two opponents with huge disparities in strength finally broke up peacefully? Even a three-year-old child wouldn't be fooled by such a thing!
At this moment Gao Jianli finally began to understand that Wang Yao was well prepared; he seemed to know about his past with A Ke. In other words, Wang Yao wanted to use the subtle emotions between them to achieve his own strategic goals!

Click.
Gao Jianli turned his head with difficulty to look over as he heard the slight sound of branches being broken by boots.

Under the bright sunshine, a girl in dark red clothes was standing there, her chest heaving slightly, and the crystal beads of sweat on her little face sparkled beautifully in the sun, setting off her delicate face, giving her a breathtaking beauty.

The girl Ake seemed to be running all the way here, but the most important thing was that Gao Jianli clearly saw a trace of worry in her eyes that she was trying hard to hide.

"Are you okay?" She asked hesitantly, but her concern was evident in her words, a fact that could not be changed no matter how she pretended to be indifferent.

It was this sentence that made Gao Jianli make up his mind completely!

Even if she was used by Wang Yao, what would it matter? As long as A Ke could fulfill her long-cherished wish and break free from the shackles of her family,
That's right, he didn't want to deceive himself anymore! The girl's every smile had been deeply imprinted in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it. He didn't want to deny that he regretted it! Because he didn't want to lose the girl, for this, he was willing to be used by others!
As soon as he thought of this, Gao Jianli suddenly stood up and walked to the girl, and then he held the girl in his arms without hesitation.

"!!!"

The imagined fierce resistance did not appear.

Apart from being at a loss at the beginning like a frightened kitten and struggling symbolically, Ake's stiff body eventually softened in Gao Jianli's arms.

This subtle change made Gao Jianli's heart beat wildly at an uncontrollable speed!
Gao Jianli has always felt ashamed of his early idea of ​​"using A Ke" to realize his ambitions, so much so that in many cases, he is unwilling to actively reveal his emotions, because he feels that such a "selfish" self is not worthy of the girl's favor.

However, in fact, what Gao Jianli didn't know was that after A Ke, who was not good at expressing herself, recovered her memory, after that period of time together, she had actually already fallen deeply in love with Gao Jianli. It was just that due to the family's mission, she was unwilling to open her heart to him.

She wasn't sure whether she would sacrifice herself for her family's beliefs, and she didn't want to drag Gao Jianli down.

This is an emotional journey that should have been simple but was actually bumpy. The two people who were obviously so close to each other kept missing each other because of their silence.

But at this moment, the two of them had no more reservations and resolved all the barriers with just a hug.

It was also at this moment that Gao Jianli felt a sense of satisfaction and happiness that he had never experienced in the first half of his life.

Gao Jianli never thought that one day he would fall in love with a girl, because women were not scarce to him. When he was traveling around the mainland, relying on his piano skills, there were countless young and beautiful girls lining up to approach him.

Meeting Ake was a complete accident, and perhaps his bad luck was caused by meeting the girl Ake, which used up all his luck in life. However, even so, if he had the chance again, Gao Jianli would still choose to take that road and meet the sharp and cold girl in front of the palace!

Finally, Gao Jianli mustered up the courage and said for the first time what he wanted to say but had never dared to say: "Ake, after assassinating Ying Zheng, are you willing to come with me? Forget this hatred, forget your family mission, and let's start over, just like before."

A'ke's body trembled slightly, but after a full 30 seconds, the girl with slightly red cheeks raised her face and shook her head: "But."

Before he finished speaking, Gao Jianli couldn't wait to hold up the girl's soft hair, and said excitedly as if to declare: "I will treat you well for the rest of my life! Apart from you, I don't want any other woman in the world!"

Staring at Gao Jianli's affectionate and sincere eyes, the girl A Ke's cheeks became even more rosy. She had always been cold and indifferent, but for the first time, she showed the embarrassment of a little woman: "No, no, I mean, where can we go? I, I can't do anything except killing people."

The breeze gently blew past the two of them, their clothes fluttering in the wind. The canyon battlefield had never been as refreshing as it was at that moment.

Looking at the girl in his arms who seemed particularly embarrassed, Gao Jianli raised his head again, looked up at the vast blue sky, and revealed his most comfortable smile in many years.

"The world is so big, there is always a place for us to stay. We can travel around and build a house to live in. After this war, you won't have to kill people anymore."

"I will play the piano to support you."
