In the moonlight, in the distance of the high wall, the young man turned away, his slow pace still uneasy to turn back, his eyes worried.

There was a dangerous figure in the shadows under the walls, didn't she notice it?

Silently denying this possibility in her heart, Lu Yue hesitated, hesitating whether to go over.

As if sensing his slow steps, Tao Ziyuan turned around and chuckled, "I'm fine, go back." You've protected me all the way, and there's no reason for you to continue. ”

The breeze blows the dark fragrance of the summer night, which is a fragrance that belongs only to the ephemeral flowers.

The young man frowned lightly, took that crucial step, walked to her without hesitation in Tao Ziyuan's surprised gaze, and said calmly,

"In our country, gentlemanly and courteous manners are highly regarded throughout the nobility. As a gentleman, there is absolutely no reason to watch women die and men survive. ”

The black tuxedo seemed to blend in with the night, but Tao Zikite clearly knew that in front of him, there was a young man...... No, it should be said that a teenager who lived for hundreds of years stood in the way.

There was a hint of helplessness at the corner of his mouth, but his heart was already moved enough.

It's ironic that her lord wants her to die, but her enemies are protecting her.

There was a sneer in the darkness, and then a woman dressed in white, holding a long sword, walked up to her.

The white clothes are full of snow, not as cold as the sharp blade in the woman's hand, and there is a little cinnabar in the center of her eyebrows, but there is no tenderness in her eyes.

"I thought I could compete with the turmoil, but I didn't expect to kill halfway to bite the gold to send him to death, the half-old's Tao Duwei is really cute!"

The woman said coldly, she couldn't hear the fun and jokes, just Sen Sen's coldness.

Ryuki frowned, he felt a force suppressing his ability, and his hands were trembling, but it still didn't help.

At this moment, the person behind him said softly, "The five elements are mutually reinforcing, and her ability comes from the earth, so your ability is easily restrained by her." ”

Ryuki was a little worried, "Then what should I do?"

Tao Ziyuan looked at the woman's gradual steps, narrowed her eyes, and said softly,

"My husband once had a sword called Apocalypse. The sword was neither gold nor iron, but the backbone of a man, but it was extremely sharp. My fate with my late husband also began with the apocalypse. Tao Xi is facing a predicament tonight, I wonder if it can be used by me for the time being?"

The woman's footsteps were slight, and the distance between her and the young man was only five steps, and she could stab the two to death in almost an instant, but at this moment, the woman was attracted by another scenery.

A sword flew from the east and landed in the white-haired woman's hand.

Ryuki didn't turn around, but she also noticed a slight change, as if something had changed.

The sword in his hand floated up, hung in the air, and in an instant, it cut off the connection between Liuyue and the woman in white, and in the next moment, Liuyue finally felt that the pressure on her body disappeared and she was able to breathe.

"Don't go yet, this is a great opportunity. ”

Tao Ziyuan reminded loudly, Lu Yue immediately reacted, and her figure flashed, and she arrived behind the woman, who reacted in time to block it with a sword, and was able to block Lu Yue's full force, but she also retreated a few feet back, spit out a mouthful of blood, looked at the woman in blue clothes and white hair in disbelief, and said angrily,

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, you have no qi in your body, how can you cut off my gang qi!"

Tao Ziyuan curled the corners of her lips, and the next moment her purple eyes appeared in front of the woman's eyes, and an ice cube passed through her chest, and the woman's eyes widened, looking in the direction of the person, telling her unwillingness.

Tao Ziyuan said softly, "Heaven and earth don't accept, then I will take it from the world, as long as I don't want to die, no one can take my Tao Xi's life." Treading the snow without a trace, hating without a song, stepping on the snow villa without a song, is really a good move. ”

Tao Ziyuan sighed, but the woman couldn't hear it anymore, and could only be unwilling to devote herself to the next life that she didn't know existed.

Liuyue raised her head and looked at the man, with a trace of doubt in her eyes, and then the corners of her lips were slightly raised, Tao Ziyuan just wanted to explain, but she heard him say with relief,

"Madame's sword, it should be the martial arts of Li Qingjiang. ”

Tao Ziyuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile, "Exactly." ”

Lu Yue said, "It's not early, Lu Yue sent Mrs. back home." ”

Tao Ziyuan hesitated, "Your injury ......"

Lu Yue touched the wound under her ribs and said softly, "Madame, don't worry, thanks to Madame's care, so I recovered well on the banks of the Lancang River, but now I am only slightly affected by the wound, and it is not a big problem." ”

Tao Zi Yuan frowned slightly, his eyes were a little strange, and the latter wondered, "What is Madam looking at?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched his cheek, Tao Ziyuan couldn't help laughing when he saw this, Liuyue was a little inexplicable, and saw the man smile and said,

"I look at you, you don't look like a person from the Xiyue clan, but like a Li Qing person, you can't help but speak fluently in Li Qing dialect, and you are even more literate, like ...... Ah, like those old masters in the court, they have a clear eye. ”

Lu Yue frowned, a little puzzled, "Is this what I mean that I have already learned?"

Tao Ziyuan was slightly stunned, then nodded and smiled, "Yes, you have learned very well." It's getting late, let's go. ”

On the next road, all the way to the edge of Chunmeng Lake, Tao Ziyuan never saw a person who stopped him, was there no one?

Of course not.

How could that man send only two people to be so careless?

It must be a master who has gone further than the previous one, and he is sure that he is dead.

Tao Ziyuan, who is holding the Apocalypse Sword in her hand, seems to be the chivalrous woman in those stories in Liuyue's eyes, fighting the sword and doing chivalrous righteousness.

It's just that when her gaze touched the white hair, Liuyue's eyes moved slightly, and a trace of unbearability flashed.

In the end, Tao Ziyuan let go of his hand, and the apocalypse left Chunmeng Lake and returned to the east.

Next to Chunmeng Lake, before Tao Ziyuan could speak, a pool of lake water had been sealed, Tao Ziyuan's heart was warm, and she stepped on the frozen lake and walked to the other side of the falling flowers.

The cherry blossoms in front of the Storm Pavilion are still brilliant, but there is a lot more red under their feet, looking poignant and enchanting.

At the door of the Storm Pavilion, Lu Yue stopped and said softly, "Madame has arrived at home, and Lu Yue will leave." ”

His footsteps moved slightly, and before he could turn around, he heard the man, "Where are you going?"

Liuyue lowered her eyes, "Go back to the mansion." ”

Tao Ziyuan chuckled and said, "Let's stay." I need someone who can help me suppress those ghosts and snakes, and it won't be long until the boy returns. ”

Lu Yue opened her mouth and nodded silently, and Tao Ziyuan only heard a soft "Hmm." ”

Tao Ziyuan smiled and knocked on the door of the Fengbo Pavilion.

The guards inside the door saw the white-haired woman in a trance for a moment, and then when they recognized who the woman was, they bowed and saluted, and got out of the way.

Tao Ziyuan looked at Liuyue next to her, who was slightly stunned, and then stepped into the Storm Pavilion.

The guard looked at Ryutsuki with surprise and anger in his eyes, and was about to draw his sword, but was held down by a hand.

The guard looked at the woman at the door, with doubts in his eyes, and said with grief and indignation, "My lord, don't forget that Lord Chen died because of these people!"

Tao Ziyuan said calmly, "I know that from now on, he will be the deputy commander of the Storm Pavilion. ”

The guards were speechless in surprise, and the guards on the other side said coldly, "We haven't received the holy decree, so I'm sorry!"

Tao Zikite's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at the man, "Do you think the holy decree is very important?"

The guard said lightly, "We eat the emperor's grace and enjoy the favor, so we naturally want to do things for Your Majesty!"

Tao Ziyuan bent the corners of her lips and looked at the guard next to her, "You think so too!"

The guard didn't answer, just lowered his head.

Tao Ziyuan took a deep breath and stepped forward, "You do things for your majesty, this is my storm pavilion, tell others that if they don't want to listen to me and do things, then go to the palace and take refuge in your emperor majesty." ”

Lu Yue watched the woman walk in front of her, followed his footsteps through the landscape, and walked to an elegant courtyard with three words written on the sign...... Jiuxiao Zhai.

Tao Ziyuan led the people to Jiuxiao Zhai and explained, "You can rest here tonight, originally this was also a room reserved for the deputy lieutenant, and it was often cleaned, if you need anything, you can tell me directly, even if you want to change this Jiuxiao Zhai to a different face, it's okay." ”

Liuyue looked at the small courtyard under the moonlight, although it was not as magnificent and magnificent as the mansion, but it did not lose the elegant scenery, and said softly, "It's already good, Liuyue doesn't have any requirements, it's just ...... Mrs. Fang Cai ...... because of what Lu Yue said."

Looking at his hesitation, Tao Ziyuan thought slightly and said, "Do you think I'm buying people's hearts?"

Lu Yue smiled bitterly, "Then the price is too great." ”

Tao Ziyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "The Tao is not the same, and it is not known whether there is an emperor in this Li country in the future, these people seem to have forgotten that the Fengbo Pavilion was an institution set up from the beginning to clarify those things in the cholera world, and his allegiance is not to the emperor, not the court, but the people." ”

Liuyue understood, understood why she could go her own way on the banks of the Lancang River, even if she knew the consequences, and understood why no one else stopped her from outside Yandu City to Chunmeng Lake.

There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust. But so be it.

But what kind of road is this way?

The guards in the courtyard finally moved, looking at the man who was led over by Tao Ziyuan, he knew in his heart that this should be the deputy lieutenant, but the guards still hesitated when they saw this person's face, but in the end they welcomed the person into the courtyard.

One step to the sky, one step to the world.

————

People come and go, people leave, gather and disperse, life ups and downs, and impermanence.

For example, when Tao Zikite was released that night, some people left the Storm Pavilion, but fortunately, there were more people.

For example, the gray-haired and purple-eyed boy stayed for two years.

For example, the war at sea was lost again, to the small border countries.

For example, the man who was no longer dressed in purple signed his name on the contract. Burdened with infamy through the ages.

For example, Xi Nan, who had traveled with He Jiu for a long time, finally returned to Fengbo Pavilion before the red maple was stained with blood in the autumn of the second year.

For another example, the red maple of the Broken Autumn Cliff dyed the whole autumn red, but that touch of white caught the eye of the entire Fengbo Pavilion.

The arrival of a rare guest broke the two-year peace of the Fengbo Pavilion, because someone ordered the woman in white in advance to walk to the Broken Autumn Cliff without hindrance, and the woman who had been waiting on the cliff for a long time was wearing a blue dress, and her three thousand white hair was particularly eye-catching.

When the woman in white climbed the cliff, Tao Ziyuan said softly, "It's here." ”

The sober Lingyun was finally no longer the smiling and gentle face, cold as frost, full of hatred.

Seeing her like this, Tao Ziyuan only felt that the hatred in her heart was gone.

A woman who never dared to be herself, a woman who gave up everything for her lover, but finally got the result she wanted?

The answer seems to be obvious.

Lingyun said coldly, "Since you are already a dying person, why do you occupy this position exclusively?"

Tao Ziyuan laughed and said, "Wait for you." ”

Lingyun sneered, "Wait for me?"

Tao Ziyuan nodded, sat on the bamboo chair, looked at the woman in front of her dressed in white, and said with a smile, "I know that one day he can't help but go to you, just like me who was poisoned to save him." This time, for the sake of your husband, you will also choose to kill me mercilessly. ”

Lingyun sneered, "You're smart. ”

Tao Ziyuan shook her head and sighed, "It's not that I'm smart, it's just that I'm a waste person now, and there's nothing to do, I just think that when that person comes back, this life will be over." ”

Lingyun frowned, "That young man named Xinan?"

Tao Zikite curled the corners of her lips, noncommittal,

"The origin of all the entanglements in this life is because I hate you, and then I hated you for more than ten years. I'm constantly told to learn to love people. But the world treats me coldly, why should I give back to sentient beings? It's like a saint once said, "Repay grievances with virtue, so how should I repay virtue?"

Lingyun didn't speak, just listened to her continue.

"The person I like married someone else because of a young marriage contract, and the person who liked me left early, but it was only because of such a person that I supported my life for more than ten years. As a guardian, from the perspective of man and god, he is very unqualified, right?"

Tao Ziyuan lowered his head and said to himself with a chuckle, "But as far as people are concerned, he is really good as a guardian." It's true...... People who want to protect others more. ”

Lingyun looked at the woman on the bamboo chair indifferently, only feeling that all her words were ridiculous and innocent.

Thinking of the man who had been away from him for a long time, Tao Zi Iris's eyebrows were dyed with a touch of tenderness, and the next moment he raised his head to look at the man, and said with a smile,

"Do you love Lee Sang-qing?"

Lingyun frowned and said disdainfully, "Of course, there is no one in this world who loves him more than me." ”

Tao Ziyuan smiled and said, "Yes, there will be no one in this world who wants to possess him more than you, because he has almost all the qualities that a good person should have, and more importantly, his luck can help you have the ability to compete with him." ”

Tao Ziyuan raised his finger and pointed upward, and Lingyun, who seemed to have been pierced in his heart, was very easily annoyed and angry,

"Tao Ziyuan, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to say these things to me? If it weren't for you, how could I have come to this point!"

Tao Ziyuan glanced lightly, "No, I will have other people in the end." ”
