I was stunned and looked at him in amazement. шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast.

What did he say?

Eight Pillars?

This is - what?

I couldn't react for a while, and looked at him stupidly, and Xie Feng also looked at me after saying this, and his eyes seemed to have a deep meaning.

However, when he saw the stunned, completely ignorant and dazed expression on my face, he suddenly squinted his eyes, as if he understood it all at once, and smiled coldly: "It seems that Miss Yan knows much more about the Eight Heavenly Kings than the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms. ”

“……”

"Don't you even know?"

In front of this kind of person, of course, it is taboo not to know how to pretend to understand, and I said calmly: "Indeed, it is the first time I have heard of it." ”

"Heh......"

He laughed again.

But this time, instead of a sneer, the smile revealed an indescribable paleness, as if a person was isolated in the vastness, the one who came in a hurry, the one who went in a hurry, no one understood him, and he couldn't find anyone to talk to.

At that moment, he probably wanted to treat me as someone to talk to, but in just one sentence, I saw the wariness and alienation that suddenly rose in his eyes.

It seems that there is still a touch of loss.

He shook his head and said, "I didn't expect it, and Miss Yan didn't know either." ”

“……”

I subconsciously stepped forward: "Mr. Xie-"

He raised his hand, just for a moment, to stop me from continuing to approach him, I raised my eyes to look at him, all the doubts I wanted to ask were suppressed in my throat, and I couldn't ask, Xie Feng glanced at me lightly, the kind of loss was even stronger, and said dumbly: "Even Miss Yan doesn't know, sure enough, the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms have ...... Annihilation. ”

My brow furrowed even tighter.

Xie Feng sighed and said, "That's it, I'm a little out of shape tonight, Miss Yan doesn't have to care about what I say-"

“……”

"Originally, it didn't matter. ”

“……”

"I'm tired and take my leave. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

I knew that he was going his own way and would not be stopped no matter what, but I still subconsciously followed up again, but at this time, when I saw him leaving, his broad shoulders were illuminated by the light of the lantern under the eaves, and inexplicably revealed a kind of bitter loneliness.

That loneliness blocked everything I wanted to say.

My footsteps also stopped at the steps of the corridor.

Xie Feng's footsteps were very fast, and after a while, his back disappeared into the garden.

But I stood where I was, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.

I don't know where the 'agitation', 'swing' and heaviness in my heart come from—is it the sudden 'wave' of his emotions? Is it the arrival of Evil Houqi? Or is it the almost unfamiliar term that came out of his mouth: the Eight Great Pillars?

It sounds like an official name, but it's not an ordinary, common official name.

Xie Feng is a person with strong strength, full confidence, and his originally calm 'sexuality' personality, so he feels very peaceful and humble, but his mood just now is completely different from usual, if it is not that he usually hides it well, it is the appearance of the "barbarian" of Evil Houqi, or the praise of the Eight Heavenly Kings in my mouth, which stabbed and 'provoked' some of his emotions.

Therefore, let him name the Eight Great Pillars.

The Eight Heavenly Kings......

The Eight Pillars ......

This sounded like a natural opponent between the two teams, and listening to his tone, the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms should also be a general-type character, so he said that if the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms are still there, there is no place for the Eight Heavenly Kings to be reckless.

In other words, when the Eight Heavenly Kings appeared, the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms had already disappeared.

Pillar country, the pillar of the country.

With Xie Feng's strength and his 'sexuality' personality, he can despise the Eight Heavenly Kings like this, and respect the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms like this, it can be seen that the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms should be a very powerful existence back then, at least when they are still there, the Eight Heavenly Kings can't shake them.

The Eight Heavenly Kings are the eight brave and warlike kings on the grassland, as well as their ethnic groups, so the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms should also refer to the eight big people in the Central Plains, and their families.

What kind of families are they?

How did they disappear?

Xie Feng just said in a very disappointed tone, even I don't know that the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms have indeed been annihilated.

It seems that I should know......

Could it be that —

I felt that my eyes lit up, as if something was presented in front of me, and at this moment, the voice of 'Hua' Zhu came from my ears: "Miss Yan, are you going back? ”

As soon as I turned my head, I saw her walking in front of me with a lantern.

Sure enough, the sky had completely darkened, and in the place where there was no light, we couldn't see our fingers, and only the place where we were standing was left, and there was still a little bit of light.

The chill was abrupt.

Feeling that I was shivering, the little girl of 'Hua' Zhu said very considerately: "It's windy, Miss Yan should go back, don't catch a cold." ”

“…… All right. ”

I nodded, walked back with them, and when I reached the 'door' of the inner courtyard, I suddenly stopped, looked back at them, and said with a smile: "What kind of person is your master?"

The two of them were stunned, and then subconsciously glanced at each other.

After being silent for a while, the two of them said, "Miss Yan, the master won't let us talk 'messy'. ”

I smiled, in fact, looking at the two of them like this, it was not like they couldn't talk 'nonsense', but it was like they didn't even know the answer to the question.

I asked again, "Then, when did you two worship under his 'door' when you two were his disciples at such a young age?"

This time, the older 'Hua' Zhu said more firmly: "Miss Yan, the master doesn't let us talk 'messy'." ”

“……”

It seems that there is nothing to ask.

I smiled a little, waved my hand and said, "Forget it, I went too far." ”

With that, he turned around and walked inside.

The two young 'women' stayed outside, but I could feel that they were also a little at a loss for the ups and downs of Xie Feng's mood this night, and when I walked back to my room, the warmth in the room made a layer of 'chicken' bumps on my skin that had been adapted to the cold wind outside, I couldn't help but sneeze, Nangong Lizhu heard the sound, and walked out of her room.

I immediately glanced at Han Zitong's room, she understood, and said in a low voice, "I've already slept." ”

I was relieved and slowly walked to the table and sat down, and she also walked to the other side of the table, but did not sit down, for fear that if someone suddenly came, it would arouse suspicion to see the two of us "living in peace" like this.

She asked, "Outside, I'm afraid it's almost ready, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"Tomorrow will be their day of great joy. ”

"yes. ”

"That is, we-"

She gave me a meaningful look, but I didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

She took a long breath.

I don't know if it is the ease of being about to leave here, or the nervousness of facing unknown dangers, her expression is complex and dignified, and after thinking for a while, she felt the unusual quietness in me, looked at me again, and whispered, "What are you thinking?"

I suddenly looked up at her: "Nangong Lizhu, have you heard of the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms?"

"Eight Pillar Kingdoms?" she repeated, frowning slightly, "What is it?"

“……”

It seems that I don't know.

I was still thinking if I didn't know enough about the structure of the imperial court, or there were still some things in the imperial court that I didn't know, after all, Nangong Lizhu had been close to those princes since he was a child, and he should have heard of it.

Even she didn't have any impression, it shouldn't be this dynasty, or at least, it wasn't under the rule of Pei Yuanhao and Emperor Taishang.

I smiled and shook my head, "Nothing. ”

But she became nervous: "It's okay with what we're leaving, right?"

I said, "It's okay, I just heard about it by accident, so just ask, don't worry, it doesn't matter." ”

She breathed a sigh of relief, looked at me again, and then said, "I don't care about anything else, but I must leave here, and if there is any obstacle, you must tell me in advance, and I will be foolproof." ”

I said, "Don't worry. ”

Hearing my repeated reassurances, she relieved herself a little, looked at me again, and said hesitantly: "What did you just say, the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms—what the hell is it?"

I smiled and said, "It's nothing, don't worry." ”

She looked at me again, and finally nodded slightly, "Okay." ”

I said, "Tomorrow is a big day, and I don't know what will happen to us at that time, so you should go and rest early and nourish your 'spirit'." ”

She agreed, turned and headed for her room.

When she just walked to the 'door', she stopped again, looked back at me, and said with a solemn expression: "Yan Qingqing, do you remember what I once said to you?"

I looked up at her, "You've talked to me a lot. ”

She said: "In this world, some people can pick a hundred catties, and some people can pick a thousand catties. ”

“……”

"If a person who picks a thousand catties picks a hundred catties, he will have an easy life in this life; ”

“……”

"Do you remember?"

I didn't speak for a while, and my mind seemed to be swept into the whirlpool of time, pulled back many years ago.

It was in Yangzhou, she went through all kinds of hardships, pretended to return to Pei Yuanhao's side, and used a bitter 'meat' trick to make Pei Yuanhao say to me when he put me in prison.

Although I didn't think about it before, when she said this, all the words and scenes came back to life in my mind.

I vaguely remember that she finally told me—

"Everyone in the world knows how to lighten their burdens, but you are the only one who keeps increasing your burden. ”

"You ask yourself, is it a person who can pick up a thousand pounds?"

I looked up at her in a bit of a trance, and she mentioned these words at this time, which meant-

Nangong Lizhu looked at me for a while, sighed and said, "Over the years, I haven't changed, and you don't seem to have changed much." ”

“……”

"Of course, I can't say I'm all right, and you may not be all wrong. ”

“……”

"But sometimes, it's not necessarily a bad thing to think less. ”

“……”

"What do you think?"

I didn't expect her to tell me this.

In fact, when she said these words to me, even if I had been imprisoned by her at that time, I didn't feel much malice towards her, although after that, the two of us experienced a life-and-death struggle, and now when she said these words again, strangely, I didn't feel any malice either.

On the contrary, the cold that had just been brought in from outside seemed to be slowly dispelled.

I looked at her ruined face, but it was still beautiful, smiled faintly, and said, "I understand." ”

"If you understand," she said, "rest early." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the room, closing the 'door'.

As soon as she left, the place fell completely silent, and I sat at the table, reminiscing about what she had just said, but for some reason, a wry smile appeared on my face.

People who can pick 100 catties, don't pick 1,000 catties, of course I understand.

The most nosy autumn wind, the white head of the red tower maple leaf, I have also persuaded others.

It's just that I've come to this point, I understand my life experience, I know so many secrets, and there are some things that I can't just ignore if I say I don't care.

The surroundings were quiet, and I looked at the flickering candlelight in front of me, but the ripples in my heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

|

The next morning, I was 'disturbed' by the noise coming from outside.

Before waking up, the dream was also noisy, as if I was in the middle of the city, so when I opened my eyes and listened to those sounds in my ears, I was still a little dazed, I didn't know if the dream was waking up.

After a long while, he slowly stood up and sat up from the 'bed'.

People outside probably thought that I would get up early today, so I had already prepared a 'wool' towel and hot water, and when I went out, the water was warm, and I would freshen up and get dressed and go out, and I felt a chill hit me.

The big 'door' is open.

I saw Han Zitong's emaciated back at a glance, in fact, she moved in, and she was sick for a few days, but she was so thin that she was out of shape, and the clothes on her body were thin.

I walked over and whispered, "You're not going to want to 'make' yourself sick again, are you?"

She didn't look back, and said gloomily, "Will anyone care?"

I sighed in my heart.

It turned out that she didn't really care, she was only willing to be her sister's protector, even a stepping stone, and today, even if she doesn't think about herself, she should have the right to feel sorry for herself.

At this time, Nangong Lizhu walked out of his room, and when he saw me comforting Han Zitong, he couldn't help but sneer, and said: "Today is a day of great joy for people, and everyone is happy outside, why bother with you like this?"

Han Zitong glanced back at her.

In fact, if someone dares to talk to her like this in normal times, it is absolutely impossible to give up according to her spleen 'sex', but I don't know if today is because all her strength has been 'pumped', or she can't care anymore, she only lowered her eyelids, turned her head faintly, and laughed as if self-deprecating: "Yes, why should I do this?"
