The capital city of Luoyang has been prosperous for hundreds of years, bustling with traffic and bustling with people, but the palace was silent.
The emperor has been immersed in sexual activities all year round and does not think about state affairs. He often decides to rely on a few close ministers. At present, there have been years of famine and the people are struggling to survive. In addition, the self-contained martial arts world is in turmoil. Many trivial matters are waiting to be discussed in court, but he does not want to gain the emperor's trust.
The young master has not shown his face for a long time.
Princess Lian Shi of Anping had always been on good terms with her young master Xi Shaoyuan. She remembered that he had said a few days ago that he was going back to Chonghua Gate to see his father, so she set off on the road to Yanlong Mountain outside Luoyang City on the pretext of looking for him.
The scenery along the road remains the same, but the people and things we see are completely different from those less than three months ago. The famine has passed, and the refugees have gradually settled down. However, people can be seen running around in fear and hurriedly all over the streets, most of them with swords in their waists.
They are all a group of so-called martial arts people. Lian Shiduo followed Xi Shaoyuan and learned a lot through the introduction of the young master of the Chonghua Sect, the largest sect. The peaceful martial arts world in the past seemed to have ushered in an unprecedented catastrophe, and people were panicked.
I heard that someone died somewhere and that a certain sect was bloodbathed, and these were all related to the Vermilion Pavilion outside Lanling City.
Poyue Pavilion.
Lian Shi was lucky enough to have met the master of Poyue Pavilion and his wife. One was a man of extraordinary talent and talent, while the other was a beauty who had fallen into the mountains and rivers. They were worthy of the name of dragon and phoenix among men. The two rode horses side by side,
Staying together in life and death, with one string and one sword, dancing in the sky and cutting the earth, the tacit understanding leaves no flaws, and wherever they go, they can only surrender.
And she, with just one glance, fell in love with the cold and solemn Poyue Pavilion Master, Wei Moyan.
The Chonghua Sect is one of the most upright leaders. Although they do not succumb to the imperial court, they do not harm each other's face. Therefore, the princess is treated as a distinguished guest when she arrives. However, Xi Yingfeng, the smiling master of the sect, never mentions his son Xi.
The matter of Shaoyuan.
"It is rare for Princess Anping to visit the people. She will stay here today. Tomorrow I will order my disciples to take the princess to visit various places, and at least find some local characteristics to entertain her." Before Lian Shi could ask any questions, Xi Yingfeng had already left.
, leaving two disciples, one on the left and one on the right, to protect but actually to monitor.
It's a bit exaggerated to say that he has evil intentions, but there are indeed many things in the Chonghua Sect that are not known to outsiders. For example, the young master Xi Shaoyuan, who was rarely seen three days ago, was put under house arrest after his return. No one knows about it. Tiger poison cannot be eaten.
Although Xi Shaoyuan had done many shameful things back then, Xi Shaoyuan was his biological flesh and blood after all. Although Xi Yingfeng was angry that he not only refused to help him but instead came to ask for the antidote with a cold face to save Hongxian's younger brother, he also
He could not be cruel to his son, so he could only imprison him in the hermitage in the back mountain until everything was over.
He was wily and prepared for a rainy day. He guessed that Princess Anping was the head of the Chonghua Sect who came to find Xi Shaoyuan, but he did not expect that a female prostitute would ruin his plan. He would not return to the capital if he could not find his little master Lian Shi.
After applying medicine at night to stun the watching disciples, the bold and careful royal daughter searched the entire Chonghua Gate alone, and finally found Xi Shaoyuan in the hidden courtyard in the back mountain at dawn, with his acupoints sealed and shackled.
When it got daylight and Xi Yingfeng discovered that his only son and Princess Anping had both disappeared, they were already on their way back to Lanling.
Although Xi Shaoyuan could not get the medicine, he had no danger. In contrast, the seventh-story high pavilion seemed calm, but murderous intent was already everywhere.
No one knows when Hongxian left and why he left. The disciples in the pavilion only received orders from the master to launch a counterattack against Wanqi Mansion, which has been making frequent inroads in recent months. If they see Hongxian, the former leader of Taiwei Hall,
, shoot without mercy.
The dark-colored figure who never shared his thoughts with anyone fell into the extreme cold again, and for many nights he was even more exposed, sitting alone on the balcony facing the west, thinking to himself, without saying a word.
If you want to cut it off, cut it off completely.
Angry and obsessed with love, looking back in life, one year is worth more than a hundred years.
There is no one to guard behind the invincible one. Whose aura has been deeply imprinted, and no outsiders can be allowed to step in.
This was the only thing he could do to issue a killing order and break off the old relationship. Since she was determined not to stay by his side, then just destroy her. If she could not be with him in life and death, she would never be allowed to become the exclusive love of other men.
Sneering silently, he raised his hand and sprinkled the whole cup of wine into the night as a final tribute.
Pay homage to the one he once loved, and pay homage to someone he once loved.
From then on, there was no longer an indifferent man who could conquer the world for one person and bear the country, only the ruthless and murderous master of Poyue Pavilion who did not hesitate to stain the world with blood. Anyone who tried to stop him would be punished by Ah Bi for eternity.
——————————————————————————The fog locks Lanling and the city is covered with frost, and in the depression, the figures are fleeting and hurried.
The fleeting years are like a knife, cutting off the quicksand of so many years and erasing the gentle smiles of many people. The lazy and indifferent smile can no longer be found on the gentle and jade-like faces.
If a lifelong best friend dies in the hands of his biological father, his filial piety will be impossible to talk about in his life. No matter how open-minded he is, he cannot bear to see the most flawless Cheng Xiao buried in white loess, and he has to wait for death in the chaotic world.
"Xi Shaoyuan, is Xiao Bai very ill? Just smile and don't scare me..." Lian Shi, who was sitting behind the horse, had red eyes. She had never seen Xi Shaoyuan look like this. He looked half bleak.
It was half dark, and only his close friend Cheng Xiaobai could make him act so uncharacteristically.
"If your best friend died at the hands of the person you always wanted, would you still be able to laugh?"
The enemy is his father, and even if he wants to take revenge, he can't do it.
The Cheng Mansion is still deserted. Cheng Xianggong is so anxious that he is sick and bedridden. The entire mansion is managed by Yun Yirong. During the day, he has to rush around seeking medical advice, and at night, he has to stay by Cheng Xiaobai's side to take good care of him.
, but after not seeing him for a few days, he has already lost a lot of weight.
"Shaoyuan, you're back..." The sickly young man on the bed smiled, half leaning on the bedside to say hello.
"Have Miss Hongxian been here?" Although the young man in front of him was weak, he didn't have the strength to speak as before. After thinking about it, the only possibility was that Hongxian could seek the antidote and return.
Sure enough, Cheng Xiaobai nodded, and there was some sparkle in his eyes: "Sister came here with Mr. Wanqi the day before yesterday, but because the medicine on hand is not suitable for this symptom, I can only use other medicine to stabilize the situation. Sister
I have followed him back to Jiannan to prepare medicine."
"That's it." Xi Shaoyuan's high-spirited heart finally let go, traces of laziness crawled onto his cheeks again, and he leaned against the door with his shoulders crossed. The gentle smile that had always given Xiao Bai peace of mind and courage reappeared, "I'll just say
You were born with a good life, and it is impossible that you would fail in something like this, which caused me to go all the way in vain."
Lian Shi, who had been in the capital after the accident in Qifoshan, had not seen Cheng Xiaobai for a long time. The three of them had a lively chat until they were interrupted by the noise outside the door.
"This is the Cheng Mansion! How can you break in!" the gatekeeper yelled loudly. Looking from the door, he saw a man with no apparent age on his face, pushing aside the servants who were blocking him, and walked straight into the inner courtyard.
"Young lady? Young lady, are you here?"
Cheng Xianggong only has one son, so why is he called young lady? Xi Shaoyuan thought for a moment, got up and rushed out the door: "Your Excellency, are you here to see Miss Hongxian?"
Although the man was an intruder, he was also very polite. When someone answered him, he stopped walking around and stood on the spot with his hands cupped: "Xiao Qian is an old member of the Xiao family. I have something important to do to find Young Master... Hongxian." Hall Master."
