Chapter 1708: A faint aroma of fat powder
A cold light pierced Wen Fengxi's throat..Fastest update access: ΡΡΡ.79XS.ΡΠΞ.
"Don't!"
I screamed in shock, seeing that the sharp tip of the sword had already hit Wen Fengxi's throat, I turned around and blocked in front of Wen Fengxi.
Xie Feng's gaze was like a knife, and the sword was like thunder, the cold light had almost pierced into my eyes, I was so frightened that I closed my eyes, and I heard two sounds, and the surrounding river was turbulent, and then slowly calmed down in the next moment.
I slowly opened my eyes.
As soon as I opened my eyes, my eyes met the sharp tip of the sword, which almost hit the center of my eyebrows, as long as Xie Feng's hand went one more point, or I moved again, maybe I would be splashed with blood on the spot today.
The sword was close in front of him, the wind was cold and the water was turbulent, but Xie Feng's hand was as steady as a rock, and the tip of the sword was hanging in the air.
I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat.
Xie Feng said coldly: "Let go." β
Wen Fengxi was blocked by me, but one of his hands was still holding my hand tightly, and he didn't mean to let go at all, but grabbed my shoulder with the other hand, trying to pull me behind him.
I feel that these two people are not as calm as when they talked about things just now, Xie Feng followed me, he must have to ensure my "safety", he would never let me leave like this, and Wen Fengxi, he wanted to rescue me from Jinling Mansion from the beginning, but only took Nangong Lizhu, just heard me talk about Liu Qinghan, he couldn't control his anger.
Xie Feng said in a deep voice: "I'll say it again, let it go!"
Wen Fengxi's teeth clenched, and the hand that grabbed me harder and harder.
The two of them were so deadlocked, but no one was willing to let go, and no one was willing to retreat, I stood in the middle of the two people, only to feel that my hand was about to be crushed by Wen Fengxi's uncontrollable force, and at this moment, the river wind became more and more cold, and the surrounding water 'waves' and 'waves' rippled, making our boats shake.
My heart trembled.
If it goes on like this, it won't work.
Not to mention how high Xie Feng's martial arts are, Wen Fengxi has already admitted that his strength is not as good as him, if he really wants to fight, the defender of Yangzhou City will only die here; besides, Pei Yuanxiu is willing to let me come out to meet him, the premise is to ensure that I will not have any chance to escape, if I am really taken away by Wen Fengxi this time, he will definitely not give up.
Wen Fengxi and Xie Feng are just two people, but if the two of them fight here, then Yangzhou and Jinling, which they represent behind them, will not be able to settle down.
As Xie Feng said, it may only bring the slaughter forward.
Just as the two of them were facing each other, I suddenly said, "I'll go back with you." β
As soon as he heard my words, Xie Feng's eyes flashed, and the murderous aura that had risen in his eyes dissipated slightly at this time.
And when I turned around, I saw Wen Fengxi frowning: "Miss Yan!"
Sensing that he was still holding my hand and refusing to let go, I smiled at him, but tears came out of my eyes uncontrollably again. For a military general like Wen Fengxi, when he saw the 'female' person crying, it was like seeing his own incompetence, and he hated his powerlessness even more, he grabbed my hand more and more hard and refused to let go, I could only slowly 'pull' back, but the sleeve was still grabbed by him.
I said softly, "Lord Wen, don't forget what you said. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Yangzhou City, as well as the people in the city, will be entrusted to Lord Wen. β
"Miss Yanββ!"
He gritted his teeth and called my name, the pain and helplessness in his eyes were beyond comprehension at this moment, I was ruthless, and I pulled my hand back, but he refused to give up and grabbed it again, and I heard a "tearing" sound, and my sleeve was torn off by him.
I immediately looked at the rag and then at him.
Wen Fengxi squeezed the rag tightly: "Miss Yan." β
As soon as I raised my hand, I stopped him from going further, although Xie Feng's body was no longer murderous, but the sword was still in his hand, if Wen Fengxi really made any more moves, if it really 'aroused' his killing intent, then it would really be difficult to clean up today.
I whispered, "Master Wen, take your leave." β
After speaking, he turned around and stepped on the side of the boat and walked behind Xie Feng, and it was only at this time that he finally put his mind at ease, glanced at Wen Fengxi again, and then put the sword back into its sheath, turned his head to the boatman and said, "Go back." β
The boatman was so frightened by the tense atmosphere just now that he didn't dare to take a breath, but at this time he finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded hurriedly, and propped up the bamboo pole to separate the boat from Wen Fengxi's boat.
The boat swayed and began to sail towards the south shore.
I stood in the center of the boat, swaying slightly, but looking at Wen Fengxi's boat but it had been parked there, as if he couldn't bear to go, and as if he didn't want to go, he stood on the side of the boat, his hand was still tightly grasping the broken sleeve, fluttering slightly in the river breeze, as if telling the helplessness of parting.
But his gaze, angry and determined, had a faint power that passed on.
My eyes were hot, I waved my hand at him gently, and finally turned my head away from him, and after driving for a while, the wind rose on the river again, and the boat shook even more, Xie Feng helped me to sit down.
He took another look, and the mist had lifted, and it had already engulfed Wen Fengxi's boat.
He slowly sat down on the other side.
It was a 'cloudy' day, as if there was a big gray hand covering the earth, covering all the sunlight, and my mood was the same, so low that I seemed to be out of breath, especially under Xie Feng's gaze, there was a sense of depression.
He looked at me for a long time and then suddenly took a breath.
I thought he was going to ask something, and immediately my whole body tensed, but he just took a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to me, and whispered, "Wipe it." β
I subconsciously reached out and 'touched' my face, but it was a wet hand.
I didn't know it, I cried again.
Taking the handkerchief, I wiped my tears, but more tears began to flood in the next 'wave', Xie Feng frowned slightly and looked at me, but did not open his mouth to comfort, but sat quietly on the side, waiting for my emotions to calm down.
After a long while, he said softly: "I thought that Miss Yan came today to persuade Wen Fengxi." β
I glanced up at him: "Did Mr. Xie pin all his expectations on me?"
He didn't deny it, was silent for a while, and said: "After all, it is the 'life' of the people of a city, and there is also unbearable in the bottom." β
"Since you can't bear it, why doesn't Mr. Xie open his mouth to persuade him?"
Wen Fengxi's words were not as good as Miss Yan's. β
"When I say persuasion, I don't mean persuasion. β
ββ¦β¦β
He was silent for a moment, then looked at me.
I pinched the handkerchief that was already moistened, and said calmly: "Why can't you tell Pei Yuanxiu what you said just now?" Wen Fengxi is not afraid of falling into the infamy of the ages, because the infamy will not fall on his head, and because he is worthy of admiration. But the murderer, isn't he afraid of being infamous through the ages?"
Xie Feng said calmly: "Miss Yan, who is recording the history of the ages?"
ββ¦β¦β
I was stunned and didn't speak.
He didn't need me to answer, he said to himself, "It's the winner." β
ββ¦β¦β
"As long as he wins, the pen that records history is in his hands, and this war is not a massacre of the city, but the mediocrity and incompetence of the last emperor, and the cowardice and fear of the soldiers defending the city, resulting in the destruction of lives. β
I shuddered: "You-"
He looked at me, his eyes were like cold water: "The words that Miss Yan asked him just now are actually what he wants to ask, since he wants to make this choice, it is doomed, and he probably really has to bear such an infamy." β
I gritted my teeth and said, "Justice is in the hearts of the people." β
Xie Feng said: "People are ignorant. β
"There are always clear ones. β
"Among these three zhang red dust, how many clear people are there?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Miss Yan is so clear, so she will have such pain. β
ββ¦β¦β
"In this world, there are many people who are unwilling to clear up in order to escape such pain. Miss Yan was originally born in a 'family', talented and intelligent, and has been respected by so many people, but many times she lives less than an ordinary village 'woman', isn't it because you insist on Qingming as a result?"
I was in pain and conflict with his words, but at this moment, I suddenly smiled.
He looked at me suspiciously and smiled, I don't know why I could still laugh at this time, and I said lightly: "Mr. Xie is right, I do live a lot of times as well as an ordinary village woman." β
ββ¦β¦β
"I have always hoped that I can be like a village 'woman', not experiencing anything, and just living a good life. β
ββ¦β¦β
"But in fact, what I want is the peace of the village women, not the ignorance of the village women. β
He was stunned.
"Even if I really become a village 'woman' one day and meet what you are doing today, I will not turn black and white upside down because I am afraid of your slaughtering knife, I will tell the truth what I see and feel, and I will show your sins to all people. The pen of history may fall into your hands, but the human heart is my own. β
His brow furrowed even tighter.
After being silent for a long time, he looked into my eyes and said in a deep voice: "I still say the same thing, will you really bear to watch that tragedy happen?"
I didn't look at him again, but subconsciously grabbed the handkerchief that had been wet with tears, and turned my head to look around.

According to the previous agreement, our small boat can sail to the place where the big ship docked before, because the big boat also has to go this way, and it is not necessary to go to the south shore, but when we reach that water, we do not see the big boat.
At this time, it began to rain in the sky.
The winter in the south of the Yangtze River, although it is not like the winter in the north, the north wind is howling and the snow is falling, but when it rains, it is still very cold, and there is a feeling of 'yin' cold and biting, Xie Feng saw my pale face, so he came over and stood beside me, raised his sleeves and covered the top of my head.
I didn't look at him, just sat there quietly and waited.
After waiting for a while, the boat had not yet come, Xie Feng couldn't hold it back, his breathing became short, and he turned his head to look at the south bank, at this time, a gust of wind blew from the south, and the water 'waves' also began to 'ripple'.
The silhouette of a large ship slowly emerged in the mist and rain.
It's the ship.
Around, there were other warships, and they immediately followed.
The boat came over, the closer it gets, the wind gets stronger and stronger, the 'waves' make our boat shake more violently, I looked up, faintly saw a few people standing on the bow of the boat, naturally there are some familiar figures, the rain fell on the face, cold, I quickly retracted my gaze.
After a while, the boat approached, and Xie Feng helped me onto the boat.
As I walked down the long, dark staircase, I smelled a faint, powdery scent.
