Chu Xianzhao spat out a mouthful of water fiercely, feeling weak and stinging all over his body, he clenched his fists hard, and found that the Dragon Bird Sword was not in his hand, and there was a vague figure in front of him slowly swinging, and what came into view was black and white, and later he found that the black was the long juan hair, and the white smear of peeled coconut flesh made his eyes sting.

"You're awake. The man touched his face, and they sniffed at each other and looked at each other.

"You...... Not dead yet?" he struggled to sit up, but was gently pulled down, and he once again smelled the familiar scent of jasmine, moistened as if it had been wetted with water.

"It's really unlucky to speak, and if you open your mouth, you are dead!" the other party gave him a blank look.

Chu Xianzhao tried hard to recall everything that happened before, the memory was broken and blurred, he looked at everything around him, there were stone walls and caves everywhere, the stalactites above his head slowly dripped water on his head, and there was pure darkness all around, until his eyes gradually got used to it, he found that the person was sitting on a stone, looking at the slowly flowing dark river in front of him, as if thinking about something.

"Where is this?" he asked.

"I don't know. Su Nianyu shook her head, pulled her long wet hair, and sighed.

"I shot you off the bridge, how did you end up here?"

That night, the two of them had a fierce battle on the Lanqiao, the swords were facing each other, sparks were flying, Su Nianyu was not bad as Qin Ji, but as a swordsman, he seemed to be on his feet, and for a while he actually fell into the disadvantage, he hid in the dark and took a step back, held the sword in his backhand, and stepped forward to launch an instant attack on her, Su Nianyu did not avoid the sword in time, the long sword in his hand collapsed, and the whole person was shocked by the power to fly outside the bridge.

Chu instantly summoned the backhand sword back into the scabbard, this trick swordsmancer Li Changyuan taught when he was eight years old, it is said that he learned this swordsmanship from a certain master when he was in Shuyue, known as the sharp sword that kills ten people in one step, he clenched the broad sword in his hand under the waterfall that was white as far as his eyes could see, let the rushing water beat his body and mind, sharpen his spiritual will, and let his potential be released in an instant.

But after going to the west of the war, only a giant sword returned, the bones were hidden far away, after that, Chu Xianzhao repeatedly practiced swordsmanship, Lin'an did not have a waterfall, he went to the most turbulent river outside the city to practice, at the beginning almost let the flowing water wash away, and then gradually became accustomed to the speed of the water, gradually out of the sword and stone, draw the sword and crack the wood, the swordsmanship is growing day by day, he looked at Su Nianyu who fell under the bridge, his heart was inexplicably distressed, he slowly walked to the bridge to see her expression, is it fear, or crying, but also remorse.

But he saw a red silk rush up like the core of a poisonous snake and wrap around his hand......

"I pulled you off the bridge, did you forget?" Chu Xianzhao saw a row of shiny teeth swinging up and down in the darkness, and the man said proudly.

"Despicable!" Chu Xianzhao gritted his teeth and looked at her, eager to draw his sword again and dismantle it, but Su Nianyu still chuckled, and the wind chime-like laughter echoed in the huge cave, and the sound was transmitted in all directions, which looked extremely strange in the dark.

"There is no such thing as meanness in the fight, there is only life and death, but it is clear that I won the battle. Her eyes blinked in the darkness, and her eyes were clear as water and shone with the joy of victory.

"I defeated you! I knocked you off the bridge!" he shouted desperately, a huge echo was transmitting, Su Nianyu frowned slightly, as if thinking about his words, but didn't seem to care.

"You know what? I could have loosened the ribbon and left you to fend for yourself in the water when I pulled you off the bridge, but I didn't, and you had already fainted by the time we were washed into this dark river, and I could have drowned you in the water, but I carried you on my back and almost risked my own life, and I had countless chances to kill you with a sword while you were unconscious, but I didn't do that. She walked up to Chu Xianzhao and returned the Dragon Bird Sword to him, the body of which was still wrapped in silk, worried that he would cut his hand in the dark.

Chu Xianzhao took the sword and was silent, looking at her indifferently, and asked word by word, "Why?"

She waved her hand and said, "Where did you come from so much, why, why did you change your name in the future, forget it, and match you more!"

"You said it yourself, you had a thousand chances to kill me, but you still didn't do it...... I need an answer!" he clenched the sword in his hand, staring at her face.

She looked at him calmly and said, "You are just a child, even if you come to me with a sword full of blood, you can't change this fact, I am just a woman, what good is it for me to kill a child?"

Chu Xianzhao pursed his lips tightly, not knowing whether it was anger or disappointment, Su Nianyu pinched his face and smiled: "Don't be so sad, smile and show your sister." ”

"Get out of here!" He pulled out the dragon sparrow sword from the silk, and a cold sword slashed across Su Nianyu's face in the dark, she was suddenly frightened and fell to the ground, she bit her lip lightly and slowly retreated, holding a stone tightly in her hand, she couldn't see the face of the instant summon clearly, only to see the faint long sword swinging up and down violently in the dark, which was also mixed with the young man's unwilling breathing, she looked at the sword with an extremely calm gaze, as if waiting for the final judgment.

For a long time, the long sword hung down weakly, Chu Xianzhao threw down the dragon sparrow sword, squatted on the ground and sobbed, he couldn't figure it out, he felt that he was very tired, he wanted to leave this dark place, thinking of his father, aunt, brothers and sisters, it was his arrogance that hurt him, this feeling was like a piece of glue falling into his chest, and the whole person was defeated by a viscous sense of powerlessness, even if he breathed heavily, even if he broke his chest and took out his heart, this feeling still existed.

"Are you crying?" a thin female voice came from under his face, his eyes widened, and tears dripped on that face like shooting stars across the night sky.

He didn't want to have any communication with her, but she actually laughed, the white little tiger teeth jumped in the dark, he thought how good it would be if he didn't go to Su Nianyu at the beginning, give up those stupid sense of justice, he listened to his sister and read poems like in the past, looking at the sound and shadow of his brother dancing the halberd, imagining that he would one day follow him to fight on the battlefield, and the bowl of green onion egg noodles, he gobbled up the noodles, through the rising heat, he could see a wordless expression on the face of the young slave sister, that is happiness and what kind of emotion, under the rockery in the weeping eagle, the clear water is endless, and the breeze passes through the jade Linglong on the tip of her hair, Bell Ring......

She could feel the boy's sadness, like the cold tide hitting the rocks wave after wave, but when the tide was low, it left a little brilliant shell, which was the embodiment of happiness, she gently leaned on his chest, and lightly wrapped her arms around him, this was not the first time she hugged him, Chu Xianzhao trembled violently, and the moist aroma on Su Nianyu's body hugged him and poured it into his nose like warm water, making him drowsy.

"Meow meow!" she leaned against his chest, looking at the sobbing face, and said softly.

"Xiao Zhao, when I was very young, my mother brought me a kitten from outside, like a little snowball, I was very happy, every day I ran around the house with the kitten, hid it under my skirt, and it would follow me, revealing a little tail outside, very interesting. She stretched out her fingertips and gently scratched Chu Xianzhao's chin, like teasing a cat.

"I have a flying eagle with very sharp talons, and it can even lift a lamb to fly high. He said softly.

"My kitten is also very powerful, it has very short and thick paws, but it can gently catch the carp in the pool, like this. She reached out and gently scratched Chu Xianzhao's chest, Chu Xianzhao itched and began to avoid her restless hand.

"The old man said that all things have spirits, and I also believe that the kitten can talk, it will meow when it is happy, and when it is unhappy, its voice will be low like this, and it will meow when it wants to eat fish......" She screamed softly, and Chu Xianzhao could clearly distinguish the joy, anger and happiness in her words, just like the kitten could really talk as she said.

"What happened later?" Chu Xianzhao suddenly became interested in talking to her.

"Later...... Then there was nothing. She was still smiling when she said this, and gently patted Chu Xianzhao's head.

But Chu Xianzhao was defeated by the sadness of being human, tears suddenly poured out, he hugged Su Nianyu tightly and cried, he didn't know why he was so sad, the cat was not his, maybe it was just a story that Su Nianyu made up to comfort him, but he still couldn't stop his tears, crying helplessly like a child, Su Nianyu's charming eyes actually added a little tenderness.

Su Nianyu is right, he is just a child......

She chuckled softly, "Why don't we make a deal?" ”

"Deal?"

Perhaps enough of crying, he slowly pulled his head out of her arms, with tears still hanging from his long eyelashes, and looked at her in a daze.

"Well, let's leave this cave hand in hand, and then I'll go back to the Warm Building to be my Qin Ji, and you go back to the palace to be your prince, we don't owe each other, neither of us wants to die...... At least I don't want to die in this dark place, what do you think?" she held Chu Xianzhao's slightly cold hand and said very seriously.

Chu Xianzhao was silent for a while, then nodded: "I don't want to kill you now." ”

Su Nianyu looked at him with a charming smile: "You are finally a little sensible." ”
