Xin Liuxiang led the girl to knock on the door. Her expression was a little strange. It should be said that it was the daughter's concern, with shyness and embarrassment. A few months ago, she led troops to rescue Ye Gurong without telling her father, and her father forced Ye Gurong to marry him.
Although she said that this man was a powerful person, she didn't say that she would immediately submit to him after marrying him. She, Xin Liuxiang, was not an outstanding person in the world. Apart from dancing since elementary school and knowing a little bit of skills, she really couldn't stand out. Ahem.
, but she is the princess of a city after all, how can she be looked down upon.
Just as he was thinking about it, Ye Gurong opened the door, clasped his fists and bowed his head, "Princess Liuxiang."
Xin Liuxiang's eyes evaded, "I have something to talk to you about, can I come in?"
Yegurong took a step back and said, "Please."
"Zhixin, you are waiting outside."
"Yes, Princess."
After the two entered the house, they sat across from each other by the window. Xin Liuxiang struggled for a long time and was not sure to speak. Ye Gurong poured tea for her, looked at her reaction, and smiled, "The princess is here to discuss marriage."
Xin Liuxiang was a little embarrassed when someone exposed her feelings for a while, "You know, my father is a bit strong. Although I dare not tear up the marriage certificate for the time being, you and I can only do it superficially. We will break the contract depending on the situation in the future.
become."
He had already taken a special look at her at the racecourse and felt that she was not like an ordinary woman, but he was a dignified general but he did not win her favor. Was it because he was not charming enough? He had no choice but to smile to himself, but this was good, so as to avoid unnecessary things happening in the future.
"Since the princess thinks so, I will do it."
Although she said this first, but seeing that he didn't feel any regret at all, she knew that he really didn't mean that to her. She felt a little awkward for a moment, and she didn't know whether it was sadness or anger. She said with a cold face, "That's very good."
Why was she still angry when it was clearly her own wish? Ye Gurong couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he had to change the subject, "I was saved by the princess on the battlefield that day. I will remember this kindness."
Xin Liuxiang took a sip of tea to calm down and said, "There is no need for favors. It is my father's personal selfishness. I can help you with nothing more than a little effort."
Ye Gurong laughed out loud when he heard the gesture. Now that the two countries' covenant has been signed, he naturally has no worries, and he doesn't need to be on guard against her. He gets closer to her as he talks, "The princess doesn't like this marriage contract, do you?"
Is there someone you like?"
Xin Liuxiang was still a girl no matter what, so she blushed instantly, stood up angrily, and said, "I want you to take care of me!"
Yegruong had no choice but to smile to cover up the consequences of this casual remark.
***
Baiyue, the eastern suburbs of the city.
The sun penetrated the sparse gaps between the trees, and scattered a lot of golden dots on the green grass. The breeze caressed it, making it a little chilly. A tall banyan tree stood in the bushes. From a distance, there were hanging people hanging from the branches of the tree.
With a figure.
Before she even got close, Fang Hongzhao heard a man cursing in the distance.
"You damn witch, it's none of your business if I run away from me! Why do you tie me up here? Come back if you dare!!!"
"And you red-headed ghost, I have no grudge against you, why do you imprison me?"
"Someone, help me!!!"
"Ahem." Fang Hongzhao clenched her fists and coughed softly. The corners of her slightly curved eyes revealed a hint of cunning. She strode out from behind the tree and looked around as she walked without raising her head.
He said to himself, "Why did I hear a dog barking? It's right here! Yeah -"
The young man in blue was in a state of embarrassment, and he glared at her with two angry eyes, almost spitting out fire.
Her deliberate cry was full of teasing, "Isn't this Young Master Yue! Why are you so excited to play on the swing here?"
"Fang Hongzhao, let me go!" He said these words through gritted teeth.
She crossed her arms and looked up at him arrogantly, "Aren't you going to run away? Why are you hanging here by yourself before I take action?"
The young master turned his head and snorted coldly: "If that little witch hadn't come out to stop me, I would have run out of bounds long ago."
She naturally knew who he was talking about. As for the reason for imprisoning him, it had to start two months ago.
At that time, Fang Hongzhao had just come out of Feihua Valley when she was passing through the southwest area of Jingguo. She suddenly encountered the Yuanfeng battle. Although she knew some martial arts, the battle was so fierce that she was almost shot into a hedgehog by a random rain of arrows.
With the help of a general, she escaped death.
The general's surname Yegu had a single rong character. Fang Hongzhi knew that the Yegu family was the surname of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and this man must be a descendant of the royal family. Regardless of his identity, he just saved her life.
This is the cause of the matter.
Almost a month ago, Ye Gurong came to her with Yue Changfeng, who was infected with the poison, and asked her to save him. I don't know if it was an emergency, but Ye Gurong didn't stop and left it to her.
Yes, it’s just such a bad job.
Feihua Valley never saves people casually, but at the moment, she owes someone else's life, so she must cure him.
But this bastard...
When Fang Hongzhi thought of this, he wanted to hit someone.
Yue Changfeng had tried every means to escape since she woke up. The remaining poison in his body was still not cleansed, so she naturally couldn't let him go. Today, Yan Jue suddenly came to visit before dawn and asked her to go to Baiyue Mansion to rescue Mo Shuruo immediately. Both sides must
To save her life, she had to entrust Yue Changfeng to Yan Jue, and Yan Jue was concerned about Mo Shuruo's safety, so the matter was left to Yuyao who was working with him. She calculated that Yue Changfeng would run away,
I just didn't expect that Yuyao would use such a domineering method to catch him.
Fang Hongzhao looked at him and said: "Yue Changfeng, I owe your brother a life, so I saved you, but since you are still thinking about escaping, I, Fang Hongzhao, will tell you clearly that before the toxins are removed, you
Don’t even think about going back.”
"you--"
The sky suddenly became violently windy, and the two of them looked up in unison. Above the white clouds, a giant white eagle flapped its wings, staring at her with two plate-like eyes and cooing.
Yue Changfeng was startled, looked down at her, saw her eyebrows furrowed, and murmured: "Something happened."
She was about to run away when she suddenly heard Yue Changfeng yelling: "The red-headed ghost..." Before she could finish her words, she waved her hand and a row of silver needles flashed past. The rope was cut instantly, and Yue Changfeng screamed.
He fell into the bushes like a dog in mid-air.
The sound of her gritting teeth could be heard in her head.
"My name is Fang Hongzhao! I am a mandrill! Not a ghost!"
He rubbed his sore butt and stood up, "It's not all the same..." The strong wind blew again, and he felt something scratched his shoulder, and his feet suddenly left the ground quickly.
"ah--"
The strong wind suddenly stopped, and a few soft and huge feathers fell down. The forest returned to peace for a moment. In addition to the figures gradually disappearing in the sky, Yue Changfeng's ghostly screams seemed to be heard.
＊＊＊
After leaving Baiyue Mansion, Mo Shuruo rode towards the north. She did not choose the official road, but went straight to Guanshan Mountain, which was backed by Wang Sunling, because she knew that she would definitely run into Duke Mo and others if she went to the right road.
Then she would definitely not be able to see Jinglou Xue.
Although she was jolted to death along the way, she finally made it to the foot of Guanshan Mountain. She abandoned her horse and climbed the mountain. Her body was still weak, and she began to lose track of the direction not long after climbing. She was dizzy while holding on to the big tree, scolding herself for being crazy.
Move forward awkwardly.
In winter, the fallen leaves rot and the mountains are slippery. If you are not careful under your feet, you will fall to the ground.
Sweat dripped down her forehead. She lay down for a while, feeling that her strength had slightly recovered, she pushed herself up and sat up slowly.
"where are you going."
She vaguely heard the sound of leaves being stepped on, and thought it was an auditory hallucination. It wasn't until a pair of white boots appeared in front of her that she slowly looked up.
He asked again, "Where are you going?" This time, it was really in a questioning tone.
"I...I..." Mo Shuruo trembled when he saw Yan Jue's expressionless face. He felt guilty inexplicably and hurriedly lowered his head.
She didn't speak, but his voice still came from her head, "You forgot what I said so quickly."
"I...I'm fine."
Mo Shuruo didn't hear him say a word for a long time. Just as he was about to look up, Mo Shuruo suddenly heard him sigh: "It's really never reassuring." A pair of hands passed under her armpits. She was like a child, so easily lifted up by him.
stand up.
She was still unsteady on her feet, but she heard him say: "I'll take you back."
Mo Shuruo was determined, "I won't go back." As soon as he stopped, the whole world seemed to stop because of his movement. She swallowed her saliva and said with a silly smile: "Well... I was so depressed that I wanted to get out.
Walk……"
His eyes were right in front of her. Although she knew he couldn't see, she still wanted to see something from his eyes. Unfortunately, there was nothing but stagnant water. Only his handsome face revealed a slight displeasure.
"If you want to lie, you have to find a good reason."
She lowered her head and looked at Yan Jue's hands supporting her. After a moment of silence, her voice became low and weak without the deliberate disguise, "Let me go, I want to help her."
"Where did you listen to what I said! You are already like this and you still want to help others?" He sighed, "Go back. Without your help, she is still living like that."
She looked at him, "You don't understand! How could you understand!" Her voice was slightly excited, and she seemed to be aware of it, so she lowered her voice a little and said: "Because I understand Jinglou Xue, I know that feeling, helplessness, and uneasiness.
, so desperate but no one can help her. She was supposed to be a peerless woman, but now she has become like a human, a ghost or a ghost." Mo Shuruo slowly lowered his head, "Because she has been deceived too much,
Her heart is so riddled with holes that she dare not trust anyone anymore. She may have believed my words when she came to Wangsunling today, so no matter what, I must give it a try."
"You have to go see her."
"yes."
Silence struck again, and he slowly let go of one hand and whispered: "Since you are determined to go, I can't stop you, but this time, I won't help you." It was like whispering, gentle but gentle.
Also heartless.
She looked up at him, her eyes instantly turned red, she gritted her teeth to hold back the inexplicable grievance, and angrily pushed away his hand that supported her standing, "Okay."
She stood up stubbornly, passed him and continued walking forward, step after step, never looking back.
I just want to be as close to you as possible, but that expression keeps me from getting closer.
Yan Jue, do you know that it is not the words that hurt others, but the lack of your understanding.
The mountain is surrounded by plains, and the actual altitude is not high, but if you want to fully observe Wangsun Tomb, there is no better place than here. Sure enough, after half a stick of incense, Mo Shuruo reached the top of the mountain and saw a black figure in the distance.
"Snow in Beijing Tower."
The woman in black turned around and when she saw it was her, her eyes were full of shock: "Why is it you?"
Mo Shuruo stood a few steps away and looked at her, "Do you know what you are doing?
Jinglou Xue snorted coldly: "You don't need to take care of my affairs. Mo Shuruo, I couldn't kill you last time. You can't escape this time." The cold wind lifted her black robe, and the next moment she was gone.
He was already in front of him, and his right hand quickly struck Mo Shuruo's neck.
Mo Shuruo didn't make any move, she just thought it was funny, and then she really started grinning.
She loosened her hand and asked strangely: "Why are you laughing?"
Mo Shuruo looked at her and suddenly noticed a lifelike black butterfly tattoo on her cheek under her left eye. He was just a little confused and didn't think much about it.
Ignoring the hand on his neck that could kill him at any time, Mo Shuruo said calmly: "I was thinking, I wholeheartedly wanted to help you, but you repaid me with revenge and wanted to kill me! And your so-called master lied to you, but you trusted him so much.
She...hehe, isn't this funny?"
Jinglouxue half-squinted her eyes, "Do you think you can easily deceive me with your tricks of sowing discord?"
"Can't you?" Mo Shuruo asked back. Seeing her face gradually becoming colder, she continued: "Since you have come to Wangsunling, don't you just believe what I say!"
She smiled ferociously, and the black butterfly tattoo on her face seemed to be about to burst out from under her skin. She pointed down the mountain and shouted: "I don't believe he is dead at all, I want to destroy this place! Just wait.
Look, he will definitely appear, definitely!"
Mo Shuruo said softly: "No."
The three words without any unnecessary explanation made Jinglouxue feel a severe pain.
Mo Shuruo took out the Hanni jade rough stone from his pocket, "Do you still recognize this half-finished jade pendant?"
Jinglou Xue's expression gradually turned pale, her whole body was trembling uncontrollably, and she could hardly hold the hand around Mo Shuruo's neck.
Mo Shuruo continued: "You chose revenge because everyone looked on coldly, and you were angry because you couldn't find Baiyue Xi. But have you ever thought that after doing so many harmful things, you didn't get a trace of happiness in your heart?"
peaceful."
"That's enough." When the painful spot was poked, she waved her hand and took two steps back.
She was still conscious, so she could think about what Mo Shuruo said. She really wanted to take revenge on Baiyue, who had harmed her for half her life, but she, Jinglouxue, was such a chic person, even though she knew that she was destined to die.
, and still look at everything.
But now... now she is trapped in a quagmire, unable to escape, so she can only continue to make mistakes without hesitation.
"You don't have to bother lying to confuse me, Mo Shuruo, I won't believe you this time."
"I took this jade pendant out of the coffin with my own hands. I said I would help you find him, and I didn't lie to you." Mo Shuruo took a step forward, "Baiyue Xi is dead, don't do it again.
Do something stupid. Stop it, let go of your attachments, and let go of the pain."
"Let go of attachment? Let go of pain?" Jinglou Xue repeated these two sentences with a sneer. For a moment, she looked sad and angry, and shouted angrily: "What do you know? Do you know what it means to raise your relatives for more than twenty years just to kill you?
What a feeling! You know what it feels like when everyone in the world wants you to die! What I have experienced in my life is other people’s fates, and I have endured other people’s pain. I have nothing, but I still have to be spurned by everyone. Why?
Tell me why they did this to me!"
He was questioned again and again, but what he said was full of bitterness.
Mo Shuruo's heart trembled, but he could not answer her question. He only said an extremely negative sentence, "This is all fate."
Jinglouxue was stunned, as if she had heard some joke, and suddenly she raised her head and laughed, her eyes filled with mist. After a moment, Jinglouxue's expression changed, and she looked at her coldly and said word by word: "Fate is just what the world does.
Only those who are unable to change the consequences of their actions will accept their fate. But I will not. I will not let the consequences of others fall on me. I will let those who harm me know what acceptance of fate is! What retribution is!
"
Before Mo Shuruo could react, Jinglouxue snatched the jade pendant from her hand, reached out and pushed her back. Behind her was a small steep slope, and at the bottom of the slope were a group of corpses that had just been resurrected from the Wangsun Tomb.
At that moment, she thought a lot, thinking about Jinglou Xue's persistent hatred, and thinking that she died for no reason, just because she wanted to save this hopeless person.
Her falling body unexpectedly fell into a hug. After a moment of spinning, when she saw the situation clearly again, the silver chain thousand-knot whip in Yanjue's hand had already pierced into Jinglou Xue's shoulder on the hillside.
The cold wind howled, and the strange cries of the living corpses mixed with the sounds of ping-pong-pong-pong fighting at the foot of the mountain.
Yan Jue held her with one hand and tugged hard with the other hand. The Thousand Knot Whip suddenly raised with a crash and brought Feijinglou's snow-black cloak with her. Mo Shuruo had been looking at her, and at that moment,
The people on the top of the mountain suddenly disappeared, as if there was no one there in the first place. The cloak floated slowly in the air like paper, and finally fell to the ground, stained with dust.
Suddenly there was a strong wind in the sky. Mo Shuruo looked up with difficulty and saw a huge white eagle getting closer and closer. There were two people hanging on its huge paws, one blue and one red.
Still far away from the ground, Fang Hongdrill let go and jumped down.
Just for a moment, when the snow in Jinglou disappeared, the living corpses actually penetrated into the soil, leaving several deep holes and disappeared.
Fang Hongzhao came closer and she came back to her senses, "Hongye!"
Fang Hongzhao was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that when they separated a month ago, she did not tell Mo Shuruo her real name.
Yue Changfeng screamed several times, but was mercilessly thrown away by Bai Diao, and was thrown to the ground again.
Fang Hongzhao said: "I forgot to tell you, my name is Fang Hongzhao, and Hongye is my alias."
"Do you know each other?" The speaker was Yan Jue.
Mo Shuruo nodded, "We met at Feng Yuan Realm on the day we completed our graduation at Tianmu Peak."
"I really didn't expect to meet again under such a scene."
Suddenly, a man screamed: "What is this? It stinks!"
Yue Changfeng successfully attracted the attention of the three people. He pinched his nose with one hand and carefully picked up the black cloak left by Jinglou Xue with two fingers of the other hand, looking left and right with disgust.
Mo Shuruo frowned, as if he saw something, and shouted, "Wait a minute. That one seems to be coming from Jinglouxue's wound."
Fang Hongzhao looked at her and said doubtfully: "It's from the wound..."
Shouldn't the blood coming out of the wound be blood?
Mo Shuruo looked pale and shook his head, "I don't know, but if my guess is correct, that woman in black robe has indeed poisoned Jinglouxue."
Fang Hongzhao took the black robe, sniffed the white mucus stained on the shoulder, and then frowned, "It's really a rotten smell. It looks like a very powerful poison!" while asking her again.
, "Who is the woman in black robe you are talking about?"
"I don't know either. I just heard Jing Louxue calling her master."
Yan Jue said: "But that person who put a hidden weapon at you last time?"
"Yes." Mo Shuruo nodded. "From what I know so far, this person is very suspicious, but I can't tell why."
Yue Changfeng crossed her arms and said leisurely: "If you feel suspicious, then check her out."
Mo Shuruo leaned on Yan Jue's shoulder with a weak look on his face, "It's better to check the poison on Jinglou Xue than to check her."
Fang Hongzhao and Mo Shuruo thought of going together.
Most of the people who know poison in the world come from Northern Xinjiang, but the Miao people have never been out of the mountains, and they will not easily cause trouble outside. So it is clear that this person will be the only disciple of the Gu poison sect besides Miao Xinjiang who knows the art of poison.
.
Compared to people, this Gu is more attractive.
Mo Shuruo shook his dizzy head, "Can you find out what the poison is?"
Fang Hongzhao said: "I need some time."
She closed her eyes and nodded, "As soon as possible."
Jinglou Xue's face was already pale and transparent. If it was really a poisonous poison, she was afraid that it might be too late.
