In the mountains and forests not far away, touches of pink are competing for beauty. Under the breeze, they become more and more enchanting, like fairies falling from the sky. This year's peach blossoms bloom longer and longer than in previous years, but...
But there are fewer people who appreciate the peach blossoms.
In the fourth year of Tianhui, Feng Qi led an army to conquer the Three Kingdoms and unified the world. After that, he reorganized the imperial court and changed the name of the country to Feng Ling Kingdom and the reign name to Yuande. This year is the first year of Yuande.
The world's situation has always been changing rapidly, and the change of dynasties is a normal thing. For the people, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, they just want a peaceful life.
Linjiang has always been a place where fireworks flourish. Near the water, there are pavilions and pavilions built on all sides. Above the water, there are many painted boats. On the painted boats, graceful figures and graceful women are chasing each other and playing. From time to time, the sound of
The sound of women's laughter and coquettishness, and the constant singing and dancing made it very lively.
On the river, a ship was sailing on the river. On the bow of the ship, a woman in blue looked around, but her beautiful face had a solemn expression, and there was a little anxiety in her eyes.
But at some point, a man in blue clothes walked out of the cabin. He looked at the spring water in the river, and finally sighed and said: "This Linjiang seems to have changed a lot."
An Yue glanced at the man beside her and said with a sneer: "This place of fireworks should be your Mr. Su's favorite place."
When the man in blue next to him heard this, he suddenly looked at the woman next to him and whispered: "Qianyu... do you really not understand?" Ever since Zhixuan fell off the cliff, she had returned to her previous indifference towards him.
Hearing this, An Yue's expression changed, and she unconsciously turned her head and looked away.
Seeing An Yue avoiding the topic like this, Su Mu raised the corner of her mouth slightly and a wry smile appeared on her lips. Could it be that no matter how much time passed, she could never forget that incident?
Zhixuan said that none of them were brave enough, but how could he be brave with her like this? How could he open the knot in her heart? Over the past year, he had thought of countless ways, but every time, when he got next to her, he thought
When he was about to speak, her attitude made him lose confidence. Was he going to miss it like this? But he was so unwilling to do so!
Putting away his emotions, Su Mu looked into the distance and said, "Are you still blaming me for Chen Jiuge's death?"
An Yue raised her head and looked into the distance. The river was swelling. The corner of her mouth turned cold and she laughed at herself: "Who am I to blame you? You just killed him to complete the task. As killers, you and I know better than anyone else that we are not enemies."
Death is my death."
"Then why?" Su Mu asked anxiously.
Why? Dark Moon clenched her fists tightly, and her pretty face was a little red with anger. She really wanted to punch him, but now he came to ask her why?
"There is no reason. Okay, we are about to reach the shore. Let's go find her. According to the news we got before, she is already here. If we find her, we may be able to find out more about Zhixuan's whereabouts. No matter what, I must find her.
Zhixuan! I don't believe he will die so easily." An Yue loosened his hands, looked ahead, and said attentively.
Did she avoid this topic again? Su Mu smiled bitterly in her heart. In fact, Zhixuan was the most important thing in her heart. He had never asked this question, but it still lingered in his heart.
The boat quickly moored and after approaching the shore, Dark Moon took the lead and Su Mu followed.
The name of this small town on the bank of the river is Qingshui Town. The town is not as lively as the town on the bank of the river, but there is an endless stream of business travelers. When many business people take the waterway, Linjiang is a must-go place.
Two blue figures walked on the street, weaving in and out of the crowd.
"If we can't find her in this place, it seems that it will be difficult for us to find her whereabouts." An Yue frowned and said. After the incident at Sunset Cliff in Qingyang City that year, she never appeared in their sight again.
were hit. And they gathered all the power in the building to
They couldn't find her, but they thought about it, how could a woman who could compete with her be found so easily. Fortunately, not long ago, someone in the building sent news that someone here had seen a figure similar to hers.
Woman. So they searched for her.
Su Mu took a look around. Although Qingshui Town was more prosperous, it was just an ordinary town. But being close to Linjiang, everything was different for her. After she recovered her memory, back then, Linjiang's first
See, this is a place she will never forget in her life. It would be normal for her to come here.
"Don't you blame her?" Su Mu looked at Dark Moon and asked suddenly.
With a stunned expression, An Yue said calmly: "The person you should ask about this is not me. Since she appeared, you and I both know that Zhixuan has a lot of smiles, such a life experience, such a fate, such an experience
, you can’t imagine the angry look in his eyes when I first saw him. It was as if he wanted to destroy the world.” When she said this, her expression gradually dimmed.
However, just for a moment, she raised her eyes, "But when I met her, she was like the rain falling from the sky, washing away the hostility from his body. At that moment, I knew that one day he would fall in love with such a person.
woman, and this is also the case. Back then, when he made the decision to eat Wangchuan for her, although I had doubts in my heart, this was also the reason in my heart.
The desired result, because falling in love with her is a kind of poison in itself. But in the end, he still can't be Mu Zhixuan. The woman he likes turned out to be his sister-in-law. What a great irony this must be... But
Even if you love her, you don't have to lose your life." At this point, she stopped, with tears already in her eyes.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Su Mu shook his head and sighed, "Why don't you think this is Zhixuan's achievement? Who in this world can easily take his life? According to his martial arts, even if he fell off the cliff at that time,
He had enough energy to throw Chen'er up, but how could he not be able to let himself up? Yes, he knew that the woman he fell in love with was his sister-in-law, so he suppressed his emotions. This should be just one of them,
And more importantly, he
She knows who can give her happiness. Zhixuan's physique is no better than that of ordinary people. Although he has a body of Yang Yan, his body has long been damaged by practicing the Can Heart Breaking Technique and Yin Han martial arts over the years.
Empty, what he fought for
It was just a breath, he just wanted to see her happy as long as he lived, and his falling off the cliff was just the best way he carefully arranged to escape from this fight. He couldn't love her, but he found someone who could love her for him.
Her people.”
An Yue looked at Su Mu in surprise, an inexplicable emotion flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.
Smiling slightly, Su Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, who else in this world can do what Zhixuan does? He knew that it was impossible for him.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came, "Help, help..." It was a female voice.
"You bitches, you don't know how to behave!" came a rough man's voice.
Just when Su Mu and An Yue turned their heads to look over, a pink figure suddenly rushed over. Seeing the figure approaching, Su Mu panicked and quickly stood in front of An Yue, but was hit by the woman.
In arms.
"Ah... no, no..." The woman in her arms seemed to be frightened and hurriedly backed away. Su Mu frowned and looked at the woman, but because her hairpin was messy and her hair blocked her
He didn't see her face clearly, but there was a vague feeling of familiarity.
At this time, a rough-looking man chased her. Although he was dressed in fine clothes, his appearance was not impressive. He pulled the woman over, waved his hand and slapped her, "Bitch, let you run away."
The woman whimpered and fell to the ground, huddled together, and a large group of people immediately surrounded her.
"It's her again..."
"It's really pitiful, but who makes her always offend these noble people? This Zhao San is a famous bully here. She is really unlucky."
"What's so pitiful? There are so many good people who can go to this brothel. What's so pitiful about such a woman..."
…
Listening to the people around him talking, Su Mu frowned for a moment, and An Yue, who was originally hidden behind Su Mu, also came forward at this time. She glanced at Su Mu, thinking of his actions just now, and wanted to say something.
He stopped. But when he saw his eyes fixed on the woman on the ground, for some reason, he felt an unknown fire in his heart.
"Don't hit me, don't hit me..." the woman on the ground said hesitantly.
However, Zhao San was not willing to let her go. He walked over and directly dragged the woman up, humming: "Let's go, I still need you to serve me, don't look like you are dying, I can see
You are lucky to fall in love with you. Just look at your disfigured face, which makes men feel off-putting just by looking at it..."
However, before he finished speaking, the woman who was dragged up suddenly bit Zhao San's hand, and with an "ah" sound, the man let go of the woman.
I saw the woman in pink running forward with all her strength. The wind blew her hair, and her face was exposed. Su Mu's expression froze, and the scars on her face were clearly visible. At this moment, suddenly the person who was being
The bitten Zhao San became angry and kicked him up. The woman in pink clothes was kicked far away and fell to the ground. She spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Let me bite you, bitch!" Zhao San said angrily, and was about to walk towards the woman in pink clothes.
Just when Zhao San was about to meet the woman in pink, there was a sudden "bang" sound, and a man in blue kicked him far away and hit the door of the brothel.
"Boy... what do you want to do? Do you know who I am?" Zhao San struggled to stand up, with an angry look on his face. The people around him had already withdrawn.
Su Mu looked at him with a sneer, "Oh, who are you to have a divine connection with me? What? You want to compete with me? I'm happy to accompany you!" He put his sleeves on one hand and looked at Zhao San.
Looking at the battle, Zhao San took a few steps back unconsciously. Just looking at the momentum of the man in front of him, he knew that he was no match. The kick on the chest was not fake. He said angrily: "Boy, you
Wait for me!" Then he ran away quickly
As soon as Zhao San left, the people around him applauded. Obviously, the move just now was very popular. People like Zhao San bullied the weak and feared the strong, and usually caused trouble to the people in the town.
Su Mu turned around and looked at the woman on the ground. His face instantly darkened. He never expected to meet her in this place. As soon as the matter was over, the crowd around him gradually dispersed.
"A moment ago, a hero saved the beauty. Shouldn't I congratulate you?" Dark Moon's voice suddenly came. Su Mu unconsciously turned back to look at her, shook his head at her and said, "Stop making trouble, save people first."
Let's talk." As he said that, he walked over and helped the woman in pink clothes up, revealing her face.
Dark Moon, who was about to have a seizure, was stunned when he saw her face. How could she be here!
Slowly opening her eyes, she looked at the person coming. The woman in pink clothes was full of surprise in her beautiful eyes. She immediately covered her face, regardless of her body injuries, and wanted to run away, but was stopped by Su Mu.
"Let me go!" the woman in pink shouted loudly, struggling to escape.
Su Mu whispered: "You are injured, it is best not to struggle."
At this time, An Yue also walked up. She looked at her and said in disbelief, "Who could have imagined that the all-powerful Empress Qinghui would be like this one day.
"You guys should laugh at it, haha. I have nothing left. The throne, the country, and even this body are no longer mine." As he said this, Nanmenya became crazy.
Frowning slightly, Su Mu said: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, but as far as I know, Sima Kongming should be with you, what about others? How could you end up in such a place?
?”
However, after hearing Su Mu say these words, all Nanmenya's movements stopped instantly. She opened her eyes and stared stiffly ahead. Where were the others? Thinking of this, tears fell unconsciously.
Su Mu was startled, and then shook her head at An Yue. Her look like this could only mean one thing. After the defeat at Qingyang Pass, the Qinghui army retreated all the way. However, the army was in chaos, and Qinghui was in civil strife.
In the end, those people were all dead, and instead helped Nan Hao Lai, who was far away in the imperial capital, to attack the empress. They originally thought she was dead, but they didn't expect that she was still alive.
Wiping away her tears, Nan Mengya looked at the entrance of the brothel not far away and limped over.
Looking at her appearance, there was no trace of her previous unruliness. She clearly looked like a wounded deer, but her thin shoulders seemed to be carrying all the gravity.
"Come with us." Su Mu suddenly said, "I will send someone to protect you."
Nan Mengya paused in her steps. She turned back to look at Su Mu and laughed at herself, "Leave? For me, nothing is the same? In the past, I hated Mu Zhixuan very much. I hated him for rejecting me.
, I thought that Feng Qi was my final destination. I thought that I would eventually become a generation of Phoenix girls and surpass Mo Yunling. But I was wrong. It turns out that the person who loves me the most is with me.
I have always owned the most precious thing in the world. I didn't understand until the end, but what I lost will never come back." As she said this, she looked at her hands, and tears couldn't help falling again, "That
He held my hand tightly and spent his life protecting me, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I could feel him by my side."
After saying that, she looked at Dark Moon and said with a hint: "I have always regarded this sentence as a joke, or I thought it was easy for me. But now
, until I lost it. I found that this is the most valuable thing. Misunderstanding does not matter, as long as it can be explained, it is not a big deal.
The question is, if it is love, please love deeply. What is in the palm of your hand is the most real. Haha, if you meet Mu Zhixuan, tell him for me that loving someone is not forcing what he thinks is right on her, even if
It would be in vain to give her the whole world but prevent her from being with the person she loves most." With that said, she turned around and walked towards the brothel.
Su Mu looked at her movements, clearly wiping the blood on her face. She had really changed. The old Nanmenya would never say such words.
"Hey, uncle, why are you free to come here today? Come on, let me take you in." Nan Mengya said enthusiastically to a man who was about to enter the brothel, and she went up and directly took his arm.
"Miss Honglian, you are quite enthusiastic today. Today, I must have you..."
Su Mu shook his head helplessly, why did she bother, but this was her own choice. Thinking of what she just said, he unconsciously glanced at An Yue, and An Yue also looked at him.
"Let's go." After a moment, Su Mu came back to his senses and said.
An Yue nodded, and Su Mu walked directly forward. Looking at the people in front of him, An Yue pursed her lips. Didn't he have anything to say to her?
As if he felt the footsteps of the woman behind him gradually getting distant, Su Mu turned around and looked at the woman who was walking with her head down in confusion.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Mu walked over and asked.
"Ah?!" An Yue said in shock. She was obviously awakened. She looked at him with twinkling eyes.
Such a dark moon made Su Mu even more confused. He leaned over and asked, "What's wrong? You don't look very good."
"No, it's nothing. Let's go find Yun Ling." An Yue said vaguely, then passed him and walked forward.
Su Mu looked at her in confusion, but he was confused in his heart as to what had happened to her just now. He had never seen her so flustered before. However, he didn't think too much and followed her.
However, at the door of the brothel, the woman in pink clothes looked over, a smile appeared on her lips, and she unconsciously looked at the sky. The color of the sky was really good, azure blue, very pure.
At night, in a small courtyard, the lights were swaying. In the pavilion, a woman in green clothes flicked her fingers, her eyes were slightly closed, and bursts of piano music floated out from her fingers, with a melodious hint of sadness.
However, on the eaves not far away, a woman in white was watching her. She looked at her intently, with a trace of sympathy in her eyes.
After the sound of the piano passed, the woman in green clothes suddenly opened her eyes, looked ahead, and said loudly: "Since you are here, why don't you come down and see me?"
Hearing this voice, the woman in white looked calm, jumped down, and landed not far from the pavilion, but her eyes did not leave her.
Looking at the woman who appeared, the woman in green clothes laughed and said: "I knew you would find me, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon. I promised him that I would live, no matter what.
Go down, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it this time. I know you hate me, so kill me. This may be a relief for me."
The woman in white approached her and whispered: "I never thought I would meet you here. If I hadn't seen that scene during the day, I couldn't believe that person would be you. Nanmenya,
You have changed."
"Changed? Are you laughing at me? Haha, finally, you finally won. Are you laughing in your heart? I, Nan Mengya, overestimated my capabilities and wanted to replace you as the Nine Heavens Black Phoenix, but in the end I failed.
You deserve to end up like this, right?" Nanmenya laughed, looking a little ferocious, but more of a miserable look.
Hearing this, the woman in white shook her head and just looked at her.
However, seeing the look on the woman in white, Nan Mengya became even more excited, "Don't sympathize with me, Mo Yunling, don't make me hate you even more!"
With a sigh, Mo Yunling smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you doing this? Since you can live in a place like this, how can you care about other people's opinions? I didn't come here today to kill you, it was just by chance.
Just passing by."
"Don't you just come here to see my jokes? Haha..." Nanmenya said in disbelief.
Mo Yunling laughed at himself and said: "What a joke? Who in this world can compare to me? It wasn't until I lost him that I remembered those dusty memories. But when I thought about it, I realized
, I betrayed two men who loved me deeply. And all I can do in this life is to use everything I have to make up for it."
Looking at her doubtfully, Nanmenya didn't quite understand what she meant.
At this time, Mo Yunling continued: "Sima Kongming hopes you live, but he doesn't want you to live like this. Come with me. Although I can't give you any other guarantee, it's better than being here."
Nan Mengya looked at Mo Yunling in disbelief, and she said in surprise: "Shouldn't you want to kill me? If it weren't for me, Feng Qi wouldn't have forced you into such a situation, and those maids around you
It's all me... No, do you have some conspiracy?" After saying this, she immediately looked at Mo Yunling warily.
Is it a conspiracy? Mo Yunling smiled helplessly and said, "Today, do I need to play tricks on you?"
"That's not necessarily the case. It's up to you to kill or cut them into pieces, but if you want me to go with you, that's impossible." Namgyal said decisively.
It seemed that it was impossible to take her away. Looking up at the sky, in the dark night, she always thought of that face with a smile, but in the end it split into
Two images.
She walked forward, and at the moment she jumped up to the eaves, she turned back and said: "You are right about one sentence. Loving someone is not forcing what he thinks is right on the person he loves. Love cannot stay together.
Even possessing this world is in vain. And I also believe that one day, I will find him. No matter what the ending is, he owes me an answer."
Looking at the disappearing figure, Nanmenya sat slumped on the ground. All she could think of was the scene of him lying in a pool of blood. She hugged her knees and cried bitterly.
The night is very long, and the dark curtain has blocked everything, but the light is ahead, waiting for dawn to break out, and one day the night will end and the day will dawn.
