Shen Xiaokun, the name, obviously surprised him a little.

He looked at me with wide eyes before he said slowly, "He's not dead?"

"He should have died," I said, "when he and I fell down the valley together, and he was lucky not to die, and then he tried to do something to us, and I controlled him, and I could have killed him, but I spared his life, so he left the valley with a wound, and left the north. ”

"He arrived in Jiangnan?"

"That's right. ”

"Then what did he arrest Li'er and Ruoshi for?

I took a deep breath and said very calmly: "He didn't really want to arrest Li'er, just because he owed me a life, so he saved Li'er and them. At that time, he thought that he had no way out, and wanted to die with you. ”

Pei Yuanxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"But I don't think it's a lose-lose situation that neither side wants to see," I said. ”

“……”

"Including me. ”

“……”

"So, he listened to my advice, gave up Crouching Tiger Village, held me hostage, and left me behind when it was safe to get out. ”

A light flashed in Pei Yuanxiu's eyes: "So at that time, he held you hostage-in fact, you let him hold you hostage?"

“……”

"I offered to 'handover' you with myself, and he was going to agree, but you-"

I bowed my head.

Feeling his breathing a little rapid, as if his heart was beating at this moment, the two of them were silent for a long time before he said slowly: "So, he is also your person, a nail you buried in Jiujiang?"

“……”

I didn't speak again.

Shen Xiaokun can't be regarded as my person, but it is indeed a nail I buried in Jiujiang, but when I buried this nail, I didn't defend against him, but Xichuan's soldiers and horses, but I didn't expect that now Shen Xiaokun's people are really used, but they attacked Yangzhou with Xichuan and my own people.

Changes in the world often catch people off guard.

Seeing my silent appearance, Pei Yuanxiu somewhat understood.

I heard him take a long breath.

The heavy voice made me clearly feel the torment in his heart at this moment, seeing that the place where he had planned everything was now completely out of control, and the two major towns in the south of the Yangtze River fell into the hands of Shen Xiaokun and Wen Fengxi, although it was not his defeat, but it obviously caught him off guard.

If he didn't take the capital, he wouldn't even have a way back.

Even for me, at this time, it is impossible to be calm.

I thought he would be furious at this time, although now the two important towns in the south of the Yangtze River are no longer under his control, but Yangzhou is still different from Huai'an, Yangzhou and Jinling face each other, if in his hands, it is one' The fangs inserted into the Central Plains, if they fall into my hands, then it will become a scene of confrontation with Jinling Linjiang; moreover, it was a city that he fought so hard to take, and I used the child in my belly to replace him, but now, it was captured by Shen Xiaokun and Zhao Yuncheng, and he was unwilling, and it was also human nature.

So, I calmly closed my eyes as I saw him slowly raise his arms and reach out to my shoulders, maybe my neck.

Just as soon as I closed my eyes, in the dark, I trembled unconsciously.

However, the hands with a warm body temperature, but slowly placed on my shoulders, I shuddered, opened my eyes to look at him, only to see that his eyes were dark, as if there was not even a little light, but just now those stunned surprises have disappeared, he seems to swallow the bitter fruit of this reality calmly, put his hands on my shoulders, and even smiled softly at me.

It's just that there is an indescribable bitterness in this smile.

"Light," he said softly, looking at me, "you always surprise me." ”

“……”

"A lot of times, what I think is a foregone conclusion can be turned around by you. ”

“……”

As he spoke, he looked at me, as if he had reacquainted himself with me, and said slowly, "I really want to know how many faces you have on your body, which I have never seen before." How much power is there in your body?"

I stood there slightly stiff, my throat slightly choked, and after a long while, I reluctantly said, "As long as people live, they will have strength." ”

“……”

"In order to live, man will give birth to infinite power. ”

He looked at me and smiled slowly, "Makes sense. ”

“……”

"That's why back then, you were able to come out of the Hongyan Building alive. ”

Seeing him so calm, listening to his calm tone, I was still a little apprehensive, and said softly: "Don't you hate me?"

"Hate you?"

He seemed to have heard a fantasy, and this time, he really laughed.

He looked at me with a smile: "I love you, I won't hate you." ”

“……”

I don't know why, hearing his words at this moment, but it scared me more than a simple "hate", and I even subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but I was firmly controlled by his warm big hands, and there was no room for retreat.

I looked up at him, and I saw his smile slowly narrow, the sober light in his eyes flickering slightly.

"But you've also made me understand one more thing. ”

“…… What's the matter?"

"There's no way back. ”

“……”

"No matter what happened on my way here, there was no way I could ever turn back. ”

“……”

"Yangzhou, Huai'an, even Jinling, even if all these places are lost, it doesn't matter, because that's just where I came from. ”

“……”

"I'm going to enter the capital, and that's where I'm supposed to go. ”

“……”

"Actually, I have long understood this truth, but today you made me understand it a little more - if people want to fly, what they need is not to put on a pair of wings, but to cut off their own back road, so that they no longer have a place to stay. ”

I felt my heart twitch slightly, gritted my teeth and said, "Then, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to fly up and fall?"

He smiled at me: "People like us have only two paths in front of us, or rather, two choices. ”

“……”

"If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent. ”

“……”

"Now I know what to do next. ”q
