Chapter 19: Wave Smoke (I)
On the second day, several uninvited guests came to the palace of Fuzhao.
Han Yu Guo Wen Zai Zhuo is extraordinary, Wu Xiang Cang Halberd, and the Nine Emperor Princes Leng Feibai.
From the first time Li Xudong and Leng Feibai met, the two had been staring at each other silently. The atmosphere was heavy and frozen.
The two lines of sight collided fiercely, and sparks flew everywhere. The little eunuchs were afraid of being shot through their sight, so they waved their hands and hurriedly hid outside the hall. In the huge palace, in addition to them, Zhuo Bufan and Cang Ji, there were Li Yangchun and Li Mingxia who rushed to hear the news.
There was not a single sound in the Jinluan Palace, and except for the two who looked at each other, the other four people were all amazed in their hearts, because what Leng Feibai and Li Xudong showed was the side they had never seen before.
Li Yangchun and Li Mingxia have never seen Li Xu's Dongxu eyes so cold, he has always been as gentle as the wind, and his handsome face is silent and smiling. Especially those warm eyes, the ocean can generally contain all things. And at this moment, the eyes that had always been warm as spring turned into cold as ice, and what overflowed them was obvious hostility and ...... Refuse.
Zhuo Bufan and Cang Ji were even more surprised, they had never seen Leng Feibai have such a ...... Gentle expression.
Yes, for Leng Feibai, this expression can be regarded as gentle. He didn't smile, but the glazed glass eyes were a little more misty, and there would be no steam on the ice fountain, and his current expression clearly remembered the past many years ago......
They...... Do you know? The question came to the minds of all four at the same time.
Leng Feibai suddenly took a step forward, his pupils constricted. Li Mingxia wanted to step forward to stop him, but was gently pulled by Li Yangchun. She shook her head at him, let's wait and see what happens, although the eldest brother doesn't know martial arts, he may not suffer.
He walked up the steps step by step, his eyes never taking a step away. The heavy sense of oppression forced people to breathe, Li Xudong frowned, and his eyes became a little colder.
This person...... Make him feel dangerous. I can't tell why, but from the first glance, there was a voice in my head that kept shouting, "Stay away from him, stay away from him......". His eyes were too complicated, too depressing, and the little dark flame burning in the deepest part made him intuitively feel that he would destroy himself.
Stay away from him, or he will destroy you, the voice in his head warned. β¦β¦ He rejected him, not because he hurt Li Yanqiu!
Ten steps, eight steps, five steps......
Li Xudong couldn't bear the distance more and more, and he even smelled the aroma of cherry blossoms coming from him, faint, if there was nothing. Cherry blossom...... Something seems to flash through my head, and nothing seems to appear. And at this time, Leng Fei sped up in vain!
It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as plundering as fire, and as moving as thunder! The moving cold flying white, no one can resist it! He was already extremely close to Li Xudong, but at this moment, he suddenly swept towards Xu without warning, even Li Mingxia didn't have time to react!
I only heard the sound of "tearing-" on the ground, and the sword pierced through the flesh!
Then "tick tock", blood splattered on the floor......
Li Xudong's face was pale, his clear eyes were still as cold as ice, his hands were tightly holding a dagger, and the tip of the dagger was all inserted into Leng Feibai's chest up to the handle!
This change is unexpected, who would have thought that it was Li Xudong, who had no martial arts, who stabbed the dagger, and Leng Feibai, who was injured, who was strong in martial arts? It's too hard to make sense...... Even Wu Xiang Cang Halberd is not Leng Feibai's opponent, he will be injured by a person who has no power to restrain the chicken!
Leng Feibai's raised right hand froze in mid-air, and then slowly drooped down, he looked down at the dagger that almost pierced his chest, and a dark light flashed in his glazed eyes, it looked like ...... Some rejoiced......
"It's still ......," he muttered, his voice so soft that no one could hear him except Li Xudong.
Li Xudong was stunned, Leng Feibai retreated abruptly, the dagger was ripped away from his body, and a blood arrow sprayed out, splashing Li Xudong's body, Leng Feibai looked at his increasingly pale face, and the corners of his lips hooked a faint smile. His fear of blood still hasn't changed......
"Don't shake your hands." He said lightly. He turned around and walked down the steps.
He didn't even do anything, as if he was walking up the steps just to let Li Xudong stab him. He didn't do anything......
Except, the right hand that was raised and lowered again.
"Childe......" Cang Halberd called lowly. Li Xudong injured his son, it stands to reason that as a military minister, he has the responsibility to protect his son, and he should not let Li Xudong feel better at this moment. But look at the child's expression...... He wasn't sure what he was supposed to do.
Leng Qianlian suddenly broke into the main hall, she looked at Leng Fei's blood-stained clothes, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Brother......" she whispered. How could he get hurt, he's so strong......
Leng Feibai glanced at the person behind her, and her icy voice did not have a trace of emotion: "Love, you go out." β
Leng Qianlian moved her lips, her glass eyes flickered, she glanced at the person next to her, didn't say anything after all, turned around and walked out of the palace gate.
"Bang-" With a bang, a frenzied palm qi slammed into Li Yanqiu, who was defenseless, with an irresistible momentum, Li Yanqiu took this palm, his body shook, and suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood mist!
No one had time to react.
Li Xudong's face turned a little paler.
Leng Feibai flicked his sleeves slowly, and recovered from extreme movement to extreme quiet.
"I don't like you." He said calmly. The expression on his face was arrogant and cold.
Li Yanqiu smiled bitterly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "I know." One of them is in hell and the other is in the clouds, and the Tao is different.
"But this slap is because you forced her to jump off the cliff."
I know, "So he's not hiding, is he?" "Butβdon't tell me you didn't contribute." He understood what kind of character that girl had, if it weren't for her dear brother pushing her, she might be able to endure it until she was old, hum......
Leng Feibai didn't answer, and went straight past him.
"So, I've passed the test, haven't I?" Li Yanqiu paused for a moment, and called out with a lazy smile, "Dear Ninth Brother? β
There was a pause in his footsteps, for the name of this evil cold. Leng Feibai didn't look back, and said more calmly: "Li Yanqiu, I really, really don't like you. β
Li Yanqiu laughed, worthy of Leng Qianlian's brother, it was really quite interesting!
"I didn't deny ......"
Leng Feibai stiffened again, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Li Yanqiu, this time you won, but if you let her cry again, it's best to think about whose sister she is first, and then, how do you want to die."
It's a serious threat, but what Li Yanqiu thinks is-
"It's a good thing that love isn't here, or she'll be moved ......to death," he muttered, thinking very little, never tell her about her brother's concern for her, or else the position he had worked so hard for would not be secured......
Leng Feibai had faint green tendons beating on his forehead, and he walked out without saying a word, with Zhuo Bufan and Cang Ji following behind. This Li Yanqiu, this Li Yanqiu...... It's really unlikeable, but it's another ......
"Leng Feibai, you stop." Li Xudong, who had been silent, shouted.
Leng Feibai stopped, turned around, and looked at him.
Zhuo Bufan and Cang Ji were a little surprised, Gongzi and Li Yanqiu had said so many things just now, and they had always turned their backs to him. But now Li Xudong just screamed, and the son actually turned to face him!
Li Xudong glanced at Leng Feibai, and then at Li Yanqiu, when he looked at Li Yanqiu, his eyes were warm like spring, but when he turned his gaze, his eyes were full of frost. This shift ...... A dark light flashed in the glass eyes, and then a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his lips, his palm just now should be heavier.
"Antidote." He said coldly. His eyes inadvertently touched his chest, and he was a little stunned, but he was still dripping blood......
"Li Xudong, if you want an antidote, you can get it yourself." Bai looked at him deeply, turned and walked out of the palace.
The smell of blood gradually dissipated, and at the same time, there was a faint ...... The aroma of cherry blossoms.
"Big brother?" Li Yanqiu shouted.
"Huh? Oh......" Li Xudong came back to his senses, only to find that except for Li Yanqiu, there was no one in the hall. Even Li Yangchun and Li Mingxia retreated at some point. A warm and windy smile was habitually raised on his face, and he asked in a watery voice, "Are you okay in autumn?" Did that slap hurt you just now? β
Li Yanqiu pursed his lips lazily, "I'm fine, the remnant flame palm of eight points of strength, he showed mercy to his subordinates." As for the reason for his mercy...... "Big brother, did you know him before?"
He rubbed his brow. "No, I don't remember." The tone is resolute.
"Oh......" Li Yanqiu replied. Leng Feibai is different to his eldest brother, he can hear it just by listening. Originally, I couldn't guess the reason why he drugged him, but if he couldn't get used to seeing him high, it would be enough to let him jump off the cliff, so why bother making him blind? Now it seems...... But is it for the eldest brother......
The phoenix eyes are half-drooping, and the thin lips outline a meaningful arc. "So is the eldest brother going to find him?"
ββ¦β¦ Yes? Oh, I'll go......" Li Xudong smiled, and then frowned. I've been losing my mind......
The next day, Li Xudong led ten guards to the Han Kingdom in person.
A month later, Li Xudong returned safely. talked and laughed as usual, only never mentioning the word Leng Feibai.
Li Yanqiu regained his eyesight.
**********************************************************
Royal Garden, Wind Pavilion.
Two figures, one jade white and one plain white, sat opposite the table, with a chessboard in the center of the table, and the two were obviously playing against each other.
The plain-clothed woman put down a chess piece, took a sip of ginseng tea elegantly, and said slowly: "Fifth brother, can I ask you a question?" β
"Huh?" Lazily half-squinted, even the chess pieces were placed at random.
"Why do we have to play the same game every day?" Isn't it too tiring to play the same game of chess, from the first to the seventh game?
"Naturally, because you haven't thought of a way to crack it." Someone's face is not red, his heart is not beating, and he is justified.
"Oh......" nodded suddenly, and Li Yangchun raised a gentle smile. So, why play chess at such a high place? "The nine-story pavilion, when you look down from above, you will even be frightened when the wind is strong.
"Sit high and see far."
Li Yangchun seemed to be smiling. It is not necessary to sit high and see far away, but it is true that sitting high is easy to be seen.
Glancing downward, he was not surprised to see a goose-yellow figure in a corner, and Li Yangchun's movements were more elegant and slow. When the fingertip moves, it seems to leave a corresponding silvery trail in the air.
"Fifth brother is using me?" He asked politely, but it was clearly confirmed.
"Hehe, seventeen, it's too hurtful to talk about what to use or not." Li Yanqiu smiled and groaned, and the nine tails behind him wagged around.
Li Yangchun looked at him quietly and spoke slowly. "Ten thousand cliffs, thousands of miles away, nine-fold palace gate, fifth brother, I thought it was enough." She really can't stand it anymore, the girl has been sullen these days, this fifth brother, how long will she rub it off!
"Ah, Seventeen, don't you know that grapes that have gone through frost are sweeter?" Li Yanqiu raised his eyebrows and smiled.
For the first time, Li Yangchun felt how indebted this smiling face was!
"Fifth brother, we used to say that you were boring, but the eldest brother said that you were too cold to be high, but now you are ......"
"How?"
Yanran smiled and spat softly, "You're really boring!" β
Li Yanqiu laughed. It's cold in the heights, that was a long time ago, and now that he's in love, how can he still feel lonely? Isn't it boring...... He touched his chin, which was a little bit. But it's not so much that he's bored, it's that he's enjoying it!
Enjoy the bliss of being chased.
Looking down, I found a corner of goose yellow fabric hidden behind a tree. Suddenly she smiled with great joy, and lo and behold, she was behind her when she turned around, how great it felt!
Tapping lightly on the chessboard, Li Yangchun smiled lightly. "Fifth brother, I don't do day jobs for others."
That's asking for a reward, the phoenix's eyes narrowed, but he smiled generously. "Say."
"Ah, nothing." Li Yangchun smiled gently, but it was-"This game of chess, I want to win." β
What a humble lion with a big mouth! Li Yanqiu made a vow many years ago that if anyone won a game of chess against him, he would promise to do one thing for the other party. It doesn't matter to others, but this seventeen......
Is he going to hang a sword of Shang Fang that will fall at any moment above his head?
The phoenix's eyes were half-drooping, his eyes were hidden in the shadows, and he smiled for a while. "Why not? Deal! β
