"Boom!"

With a loud noise, a bolt of lightning that made people's eyes hurt shot out from the door, piercing the silent night sky and making the stars and moon eclipse. The lightning struck a large locust tree outside the door, which was at least a foot tall.

The big tree instantly turned into withered charcoal.

Liu Yueyao hid in the grass just before the lightning was released, looked back, and sighed: "Now I know why Zhang Zhongjie didn't come back."

Just as she was about to take a step, a sword energy suddenly struck from behind, it was really fast and cruel.

Liu Yueyao didn't expect that there was an enemy ambush in the grass. He didn't have time to turn around and reached back with his backhand. Six walls of zhenqi had appeared, trapping the sneak attacker behind him from six directions: front, back, left, right, up and down.

Although Zhu Qingying is also a master in the capital, this strange move from "Ten Directions of Void Ember" still makes it difficult for her to deal with it. When she stabbed the transparent zhenqi wall with her sword, there was a soft "pop" sound, and the six sides of zhenqi were

The wall had trapped her inside like a cage and began to slowly rise upwards.

Liu Yueyao turned around, looked at the prey in the cage and said with a smile: "Who do I think it is? It turns out that I don't need to spend any more effort to find it. The little princess came to find it myself."

She activated her zhenqi, and the six transparent zhenqi walls began to close together in the middle. Although Zhu Qingying tried her best to resist, the gaps between the walls continued to shrink, as if they were about to squeeze her into a meat pie.

"Sister Qingying!" Seeing this, Xu Miaojin, who was hiding behind a tree in the distance to watch the battle, finally screamed out.

She just returned to the Xu Mansion and pretended to casually reveal the news about Lan Qiao's drunkenness. She was still worried afterwards, so she came back to the Xiang Mansion to see if Lan Qiao and others could catch Liu Yue who took the bait after hearing the news.

remote.

Xiang Yixuan, who was on the roof, was the first to fly down. At the same time, Lan Qiao, Feng Yeling, Hua Yuxi, Bai Xueyin and Ling Yufei also snatched out of the house.

Since they had to pass through the door of the house, Lan Qiao and others appeared a little late. The first one to arrive was Xiang Yixuan.

"Brother Xiang, save Sister Qingying quickly!"

In Xu Miaojin's mind, her elder brother Xiang is an omnipotent hero. Xiang Yixuan learned martial arts from Xu Huizu, and is second only to Li Qi and Liu Jing among the seven masters in the capital. How can he deal with a mere "weak woman"?

What's next?

Xiang Yixuan was eager to save people, but before he arrived, he had already spotted a decorative marble beside the path. He swung his foot and the boulder, which weighed two to three hundred kilograms, spun and flew towards Liu Yueyao in the grass.

Smashed on the body.

The wall of zhenqi suddenly shattered, and Zhu Qingying, who was already on the verge of suffocation, fell from mid-air and coughed after falling to the ground.

Liu Yueyao suddenly disappeared like a ghost, and the boulder fell into the air, causing countless dust to rise.

In fact, Liu Yueyao was not missing. She was just swimming among the vegetation in the courtyard at a high speed that was difficult for the naked eye to see, like a terrifying ghost. Xiang Yixuan had martial arts skills, but he couldn't even grasp her position.

.

He suddenly felt a chill in his heart. It turned out that Liu Yueyao had bullied him behind him at some point. When Lan Qiao and others shouted, he had been stabbed by Liu Yueyao's dagger fangs.

"I wanted to keep you for a few more days, you are so nosy!" Liu Yueyao sneered.

The dagger was drawn out, blood splattered.

"Brother Xiang!"

Xu Miaojin cried out sadly, and without caring about anything else, she rushed to Xiang Yixuan with Lan Qiao, Ling Yufei and others.

But Liu Yueyao turned into numerous ghosts, spinning around Xiang Yixuan's body. When Lan Qiao's sword finally struck, Xiang Yixuan had been hit by six swords and thirteen times in a row, and blood flowed from nineteen wounds all over his body.

It spilled out and dyed the long grass on the roadside red.

But Liu Yueyao soared into the sky like a hawk and landed lightly at the entrance of Orchid Garden.

She was covered in blood, and her snow-white stockings were also stained with some dust and mud. Her pure and beautiful face coupled with the terrifying murderous aura that seemed to come from hell gave people a terrible sense of confusion.

"Who dares to stop me?"

With a soft shout, the nursing staff of the Xiang Mansion, who had been stunned for a long time, were all stunned and allowed Liu Yueyao to stride away. No one dared to intercept him.

Xiang Yixuan swayed and was about to fall down. Lan Qiao and Xu Miaojin quickly supported him one by one. Hua Yuxi couldn't help but feed him a Chixia Baihua Pill and called to everyone: "Hurry, help him back to the room."

Lie down."

"No...I don't want to go back to the room." Xiang Yixuan grabbed Lan Qiao with his backhand, and because it affected the wound too hard, he took a hissing breath, "I was injured too badly, I'm afraid I won't survive..."

He was telling the truth. In addition to the nineteen bone-deep traumas, his internal organs were also damaged by Liu Yueyao's shock. Not to mention Hua Yuxi, even the medical immortal was helpless to deal with such an injury. Hua Yuxi gave it to him

Taking Chixia Baihuadan was just to make him last a little longer.

"Then you should have a good rest!" Xu Miaojin burst into tears, "Quick, I'll accompany you back to your room."

"It's too late..." Xiang Yixuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking at Lan Qiao for help, "Huaiyuan, can you take me somewhere? Before I leave, I wanted to sit there."

"Where do you want to go?" Lan Qiao didn't respond for a moment.

"Plum Garden. I want to go to Plum Garden."

In midsummer, the plum blossoms in the garden have long since withered, replaced by dense green leaves and dark red fruits looming under the leaves.

"You all should go out, I want to be alone." Xiang Yixuan was supported by Lan Qiao and sat down in the Zhulou in Meiyuan. He took two deep breaths and said to the crowd gathered around.

Lan Qiao glanced at the wax figure of "Li Jingshu" standing at the entrance of Zhulou, folding her arms and saluting. Knowing that Xiang Yixuan wanted to spend the last time of his life here, he nodded silently and left.

Xu Miaojin cried in disbelief: "Brother Xiang, are you going to drive me out too?"

Xiang Yixuan closed his eyes slightly and said no more.

"Okay." Xu Miaojin lowered his head aggrievedly, "That person is waiting outside the door. If you want to see her, Brother Xiang just needs to call me and she will come in immediately."

After that, she and the others retreated to the door and helped Xiang Yixuan close the door.

Hua Yuxi gently pulled the corner of Lan Qiao's clothes and took him to a secluded place in the plum forest. Suddenly she bowed and said, "I want to ask your husband for something."

Lan Qiao looked at her expression and knew what she wanted, so he sighed secretly.

"Go ahead."

This is the twelfth year that Xiang Yixuan has fallen in love with Li Jingshu.

Ever since he said lightly "He is my unmarried husband" in Hongyi House, he has been deeply immersed in his deep feelings for this woman who combines beauty, wisdom and courage.

, it’s always hard to extricate yourself.

One word can change a person, or it can destroy a person. It was a blessing for Xiang Yixuan to be rescued during his escape, but was it really worth it to spend the next twelve years on his own?

Knowing what happened later, if Li Jingshu had the chance to go back to 12 years ago, would she still say the same words lightly?

If she hadn't said those words, would Xiang Yixuan have been happier and freer than he is now?

No one knows the answer.

At this moment, Xiang Yixuan was sitting on the soft cushion, looking at the wax figure "with his crotch folded and saluting" at the door, stroking the jade pendant around his waist, and couldn't help but recall the scene when Li Jingshu returned the jade pendant that year.

"Young Master Xiang's love is unworthy of me. But now that I have found a home in my heart, I would like to ask you to forgive me and return this jade pendant to me as it is." She bowed and folded her skirt very gracefully at that time and said.

"Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu..." Xiang Yixuan murmured, tears already spilled all over the gown without knowing when.

He didn't know where he came from. He suddenly struggled to stand up, shook his body, and stuffed the jade pendant into the hand of the wax figure at the door, as if to say: "No, don't give it back to me, keep it for me."

It’s a lifetime, okay?”

The expression of the wax figure is still so peaceful, and the tranquil expression reflects the peaceful heart.

Yes, with such calmness and determination, when she returned the jade pendant to herself, she had already chosen the path she wanted to take in the future and identified the person she wanted to rely on in her heart.

What she likes is not the person who is bound by rules everywhere, but the "young hero" who is free and uninhibited and can travel freely between heaven and earth.

But Xiao Shu, I don’t have much time now. Where are you? Can you let me take a look at you again?

One last look.

There was a soft "Zheng" sound, and Xiang Yixuan suddenly trembled. If he hadn't supported the wax figure at the door, he would have stumbled and fallen.

It was the sound of a piano, coming from another room behind a door curtain.

In that room, there was indeed another wax figure of Li Jingshu, sitting in front of the window playing the piano.

But no matter how realistic the wax figure is, it is still a dead thing, so how can it make music?

Xiang Yixuan walked towards the room in confusion, lifted the door curtain, and saw the wax figure of Li Jingshu still sitting by the window, gently plucking the strings of the piano with her bare hands, and actually playing the piano.

When she saw Xiang Yixuan looking at her at the door, she raised her head slightly and smiled at him, but said nothing and focused on playing the strings.

The wax figure is alive!

The sound of the piano was extremely sweet, and for a moment it seemed that all things in the world were at peace. The gentle breeze blowing through the leaves outside the window, the rustling sound, and the gurgling sound of water in the distance all became the most harmonious footnotes to the sound of the piano.

No, not a wax figure.

Xiang Yixuan did not lose his consciousness after all, and found that although the woman playing the piano wore the same dress and had the same bun as the wax figure, her expression was obviously more mature and lively than the original wax figure, especially the beautiful pair of eyes that looked forward to the glow.

The eyes cannot be shown in wax figures no matter what.

"Xiao Shu! You..." Xiang Yixuan called out, his throat was choked, and only tears kept sliding down, as if he was very happy to see this "last glance" again.

"How have you been doing these years?"

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xiang, and I am living a good life." Li Jingshu still looked calm and content.

"After all these years, is he still the only one in your heart?"

"The original intention will never change." Li Jingshu kept playing with the piano with her hands, and the clear sound of the piano was like the melting snow of Tianshan Mountain, flowing into Xiang Yixuan's heart.

"But he..." Xiang Yixuan seemed hesitant to speak at first, as if he didn't want to be a villain. Then he slowly sat down leaning against the door, sighed as if he was willing to give up, and advised: "Oh, I know you
