Lu Yuan really couldn't laugh or cry. He thought that after spending this time together, he could almost guess what she was thinking. He had always thought that she hated Lin Xiao so much that he wanted to kill her.
However, she came here with wine in hand. Did she want to relive her old dream?
Lu Yuan smiled bitterly three times, laughing at himself for being stupid. Under King Qi's encouragement, he drank several glasses of wine in a row.
Xiao Hongchen entered the prison and saw her coming, which Lin Xiao expected.
He stood in front of the iron fence, stared at her face for a moment, then moved his eyes to the wine bottle in her hand, and smiled sarcastically, "Decapitated wine?
That's fine, you can come and send me on my way in person, and if you let me down, I will pay for it with my life, and we won't owe each other anything in the future."
Xiao Hongchen said nothing. He just took the key and opened the iron chain, pushed open the cell door and went in. He sat directly on the straw pile and threw the wine bottle on the ground. "Sit down and have a drink."
She didn't even look at him. When he slowly came over and sat down, she raised her head and looked at that familiar yet unfamiliar face that was chilling.
After staring like this for a while, there was no ups and downs in her heart. Even the expected hatred did not come. Instead, she was calmer than before.
Xiao Hongchen opened the wine bottle, handed it to him, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm not here to question the prince. I just want to know if you really had no choice but to leave me for the first time that day?
Have you never had any affection for me?"
"Now, is it still important?"
Lin Xiao smiled lightly, still raising his eyes sarcastically.
Xiao Hongchen's eyes were filled with sorrow, looking at him, as if he still had resentment, hatred and complicated emotions, "It's not important to anyone, but it's important to me."
Lin Xiao looked at her for a long time, as if he wanted to judge the information he wanted from her face. Xiao Hongchen just let him look at her, enduring hatred, resentment, and the lingering feeling in his eyes.
tears.
The sarcasm on Lin Xiao's face gradually faded, and he was silent for a moment, "The first time I saw you, you were holding two knives and killing a villain. You were dressed in red and had a heroic appearance. I was moved by you at the first sight. This
The words are true, I swear to God, at that time, I had no family or sect on my shoulders, only my own joys, angers, sorrows, and joys, so I ran after you at all costs, and I could dig out my heart for a smile for you.
, I have never done this to any other woman in my life, only you. The days when I was with you were the happiest in my life, but it was just happiness.
When we were young, we could do anything. When the mission of the family fell on my shoulders, I shouldered the position of leader, and I was admired by everyone. Many heroes in the martial arts bowed their heads in front of me. Only then did I realize that life may be more than just
It is as simple as finding a woman you like and having children with her and growing old together. That is just the pursuit of ordinary people. But I am not an ordinary person. I should never be satisfied with this. So I choose to let you down and give up on you. I am very sad.
It's a pity, but this is my choice. I must forget you so that I can focus on strengthening myself and the Wulin Alliance, and I want to be admired by more people."
Xiao Hongchen snatched the wine bottle, took a sip, and said coldly: "So, your parents didn't force you to leave me, it was your own choice."
Lin Xiao's voice was filled with a hint of bitterness, "Yes, I did it myself. I have been sad for a long time, but there is no way back."
Xiao Hongchen stared at him, "What happens after that?
The second time you came to see me, you actually lost all affection, so how could you show that affectionate face?"
Lin Xiao looked at her with a bit of confusion in his eyes, "I don't even know that I don't have to find you. I have many choices to get close to the prince. I don't know why I have to find you and make up those lies to you. Laughing at Hongchen
, you can hate me and kill me, but I won’t blame you. I’m at least willing to die in your hands.”
"I know in my heart whether to kill you or not. Just answer me. When you come back to me for the second time, have you lost all love?"
Xiao Hongchen asked.
Lin Xiao was silent for a moment and then said: "I don't know!"
"I don't know?"
Xiao Hongchen sneered, and tears finally fell from his eyes, "Of course you know that you have many choices to get close to the prince, but I often work for the prince, and you are Hong Lie's spy. You can know a lot about the prince from me.
It is better to be close to me than to anyone else."
Lin Xiao sighed softly, "Maybe, I don't deny that it is."
Xiao Hongchen wiped his tears, his almond-shaped eyes full of resentment, "I still don't understand, you are already the leader of the Wulin Alliance, why do you still want to seek refuge with Hong Lie?"
Lin Xiao said softly: "Power, once you have tasted the taste of power, you can never go back. In the past few years, many people from the Wulin Alliance were suddenly taken away. Do you know who these people surrendered to?"
"who?"
Xiao Hongchen asked.
Lin Xiao almost gritted his teeth, "The Lightning Guards under Prince Anfeng and many of the backbone members of the sect have surrendered to him, making our sect less and less effective. If things go on like this, the Wulin Alliance will be in name only. Compared with what Hong Lie promised me,
The leader of the Martial Arts Alliance is really not worth mentioning."
"Could you be made a Marquis?"
Lin Xiao said proudly: "The position of marquis is just a matter of status. It's useless for me to come. What I want is actual duty. He promised me the position of generalissimo of the armed forces."
Xiao Hongchen sneered, "Generalissimo?
The generalissimo of Xianbei?
Now that he can't even go back to Xianbei, do you really think he can take over Beitang?
He doesn't even have soldiers and horses. He relies on Bei Mo. What can Bei Mo do for him?
You don't seem to be such a naive person, how could you not think about this carefully?"
"How do you know he has no troops?"
Lin Xiao immediately retorted. As soon as he said it, he realized that he had made a mistake, and immediately changed his words, "There are no soldiers and horses. With his hidden line in the Northern Tang Dynasty and his intelligence, the people of the Northern Desert should share the world with him."
Xiao Hongchen stared at him, "Does he have troops?"
Lin Xiao said lightly: "What do you think?"
Xiao Hongchen took the wine bottle and stood up, turned around and went out. He didn't want to say anything unnecessary.
Lin Xiao stared at her back, anger suddenly rising in his eyes, "Are you just here to make excuses?"
Xiao Hongchen didn't answer and strode away.
Lin Xiao chased him out quickly, but was immediately stopped by the jailer. Now that he had lost all his martial arts skills, he couldn't even defeat the jailer, so he had to be beaten back alive.
He shouted sternly: "Xiao Hongchen, are you willing?
Aren't you going to kill me?
Why are you pretending to be so calm?
I just lied to you, and the first time I met you, I had the intention of playing with you."
Xiao Hongchen left without looking back. Whether it was true or false, she didn't care now.
She raised her head and drank the wine, discarded the wine bottle, threw it on the ground, and broke into pieces! From now on, this person will fade out of her life forever, and there will never be a trace of her.
