20. Pity

Her body is so warm, completely different from him, his body temperature is cold because of the practice, although he doesn't feel uncomfortable, but people are probably born with a desire for warmth, her warm embrace and gentle lips make him intoxicated.

The wind was howling, entangled the long hair of the two of them in the wind, and it was impossible to distinguish between you and me. After a long time, there were fine snowflakes falling from the air, blowing off a few pieces and sticking to the faces of the two people, and then melting away in an instant. Yan Xu slowly raised her head and wiped the water marks on her face that could no longer tell whether it was tears or snow foam.

He had never faced her heart before, he always felt that she had nothing but him, and it was natural for her to love him and submit to him unconditionally, and she was used to it, but suddenly she said that she wanted to take her heart back, which really made him angry and lost. He woke up suddenly, although she lost her memory, but she is also a person of flesh and blood and feelings, it was he who ignored her, she should not have lived such a life, if there was no him, she would probably still be dashing and free on the rivers and lakes, although there are not a few people who covet her on the rivers and lakes, but with the strength of the Great Compassion Temple and Caowei Hall, she will be able to protect her.

But now she was trapped in this little court by him, and was saddened by his ruthlessness, which he had caused all of it, and it was a lie to say that he did not feel a trace of guilt towards her. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that in order to achieve great things, he should not be rigid and should not be swayed by this so-called conscience, but just now, when she cried and told him, she only wanted to go to his heart, his heart trembled involuntarily, he knew how uncomfortable it was to ask for nothing, she was innocent, and it was he who single-handedly changed her fate, making her a tool for him to get ten strategies and revenge.

So he made a decision that he would treat her well until that day came, and that when he got the Ten Directions next year, if she survived, he would give her back her freedom, and if she didn't want to leave, he would let her stay by his side, and when he ruled the world, he would keep her prosperous and prosperous.

His cold fingers made Xiyue shiver, and she held his hands in her palms as she had done countless times before, and said while rubbing them: "I can really hear what you just said, the seven-foot man is full of words, if you lie to me, I will go to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to manifest and punish you." ”

When he got the right words, he became bold, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, which was regarded as a promise. Her hands were warm and soft, and he loved the feeling of being pampered by her.

She smiled, completely forgetting the grievances and unhappiness just now, and said, "Jinyun, you said last time that you had a different body temperature than ordinary people because of your practice?" What kind of magic is that? It's really harmful, so don't practice. His cold body always made her heart ache, and every time she hugged, she tried her best to warm him with her own body heat.

He smiled, "That's not any magic skill, it's an extremely subtle internal martial arts, called the Northern Spiritual Technique, which I have practiced since I was a child." ”

She blinked and said, "Is it a very beneficial exercise?" Then I'm going to practice too, I want to become just as good as you. ”

He frowned, "No, this mental method is unfathomable, it is very easy to go mad, cultivators must have a strong will and perseverance, once they are affected by the outside world during the cultivation period, their mood fluctuates too much, and they must start from scratch if they abandon their previous achievements, and if they go mad and fall into demons, life and death are unpredictable." ”

The Northern Secret is a long-lost secret of internal strength, which King Rui accidentally obtained when he was looking for the Ten Directions, and secretly sent someone to Yan Xu. He has been practicing since he was a child, and he has already achieved something, but seven years ago, Gu Xiyue's death hit him too hard, and he almost went mad, but fortunately he has always been tenacious and barely survived.

That painful experience, although it has been many years, still has palpitations when he thinks about it now, his eyebrows are gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Besides, you are a woman, what are you doing practicing this domineering mental method?" ”

Xiyue pouted, "You're always cold, I feel sorry for you, but I can't do anything about it, if you become a piece of ice, then I'll accompany you, and we'll become two pieces of ice together." ”

It's really a stupid idea, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, he put her hands in his palms with his backhand, and her temperature passed from his palm, reaching his heart, sweeping away the gloomy color he had just now, "Fool, it is precisely because I am cold, I hope you can give me warmth, if even you become cold, I will only feel colder when I hold you." So...... Don't practice, I like your warmth. ”

Xiyue nodded in response, but had other thoughts in her heart. The Northern Secret he said, she had seen it when she sneaked into his secret room last time, and she also flipped it a few times, and vaguely remembered that the exercise mentioned that the Northern Secret was divided into nine heart methods, and only when the practice reached the fifth level or above, the body temperature would be different from ordinary people. Yan Xu didn't like her to get cold, so she only practiced to the fourth level. She knew that Yan Xu had ambitions and would go to Wei in the near future, she was no longer willing to be just a little dancing girl and be looked down upon, she wanted to become stronger, she could proudly stand by Yan Xu's side and accompany him to make achievements, instead of just staying in the small court and waiting for him.

She has always been an anxious person, and the next night she sneaked into Yan Xu's study again and secretly transcribed a copy of the Northern Secret Secret. When she left the study, it was already ugly, but this time she was already familiar with the road, walking and dodging, and successfully avoided the guards of the night watch. However, just when she returned to her courtyard, Zishuo's voice sounded in her ears, "What are you always running to Yan Xu's study?" ”

She was so startled that she almost screamed, and when she saw that it was him, she said angrily, "What does my business have to do with you? When she saw that Zishuo was also wearing a black night suit, she couldn't help but be vigilant, "What are you doing here?" How are you here at this hour, and how do you know where I've been? Are you stalking me? ”

Zishuo didn't answer her, just stared at her eyes and said, "Last time, you secretly went to Yan Xu's room, and you went again tonight...... Yezi, do you remember something? ”

Suddenly hearing him call her to be a leaf, she was stunned for a moment, and only then did she remember that it was her name, and Yili called her like this last time. Although she knows her past identity, she has not yet withdrawn herself from the role of Xiyue, if she is no longer Xiyue, how can she continue to love Yan Xu?

Her expression changed and she scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't call me that. Lest he say more about her past, she diverted the conversation again, "What are you doing sneakily here, dressed like this in the middle of the night, as a flame envoy?" What are your intentions? ”

Although she asked this, she didn't expect him to answer truthfully, but Zishuo only groaned slightly, and said: "I wanted to sneak into Yan Xu's study, but when I saw you there, I was afraid of scaring you, and second, I was afraid that no one would take care of you, so I never showed up." His eyes glanced at her, "You've been in for almost an hour, are you looking for something?" ”

She was slightly surprised, he told himself so frankly that he wanted to sneak into Yan Xu's study, so he wasn't afraid that she would denounce him? What is the purpose of his desire to infiltrate Yan Xu's study? She didn't answer, but asked, "Who are you?" What do you want to do in Yanxu's study? ”

There is no moonlight tonight, the surroundings are pitch black, although the two are very close, they can't even see each other's faces, but Zishuo's eyes are as always, even in the dark night, they are flashing with a compelling burning gaze, he looked at her directly, suddenly the corners of his mouth grinned, revealing two small tiger teeth, and said in her ear: "I said I was your fiancΓ©, do you believe it?" ”

Xiyue was stunned at first, then became angry, and threw a palm in his face, Zishuo did not hurry to dodge his face, his fingers clasped the lifeline of her wrist, she only felt that her arm was numb, and her body could not move again.

Zishuo took her to a secret place, looked around, and made sure that there were no guards nearby, then he looked down at her, but saw that her eyes were on fire, and she was staring at herself viciously, he laughed and said: "Ye Zi, although you have no memory, your temperament is the same as before, every time I provoke you in the past, you always can't help but say that you want to fight, but you can't beat me, every time you are annoyed and angry, you look at me like this now, and you want to swallow me alive in your stomach, and it will take me days or even more than a month to coax you back." ”

Her eyes were still fierce, obviously not believing his words, and snorted: "You lie, you said last time that I grew up in the Wasteless Mountain, but you are a member of the Flame Division, only loyal to His Majesty, and there is no free body at all, how can you know me?" even brazenly said that it was my ...... You shameless! ”

His expression darkened, and he was a little sad, "I didn't lie to you, you and I did have a marriage contract, if you don't believe it, you can ask and leave in the future, he is a monk, and he will not lie to you." And I don't hesitate to enter the Flame Division, all for you. He pulled her wrist between the two of them, his fingers stroking somewhere on her wrist through the sleeve, "Here, here's a scar on your wrist, that time...... I hurt you so much that you got angry...... Anyway, I owe you, and I'll get you out of here. ”

She looked at him in amazement, the scar on her wrist was exactly where he was pointing. She remembered that when she first recovered from a serious illness three years ago, the scar seemed to have only healed not long ago, and she asked Yan Xu at that time, but Yan Xu didn't know the cause of the scar. Zishuo can pinpoint the scar accurately, is it really as he said, the two of them have had a marriage contract before? She did something stupid because he broke her heart?

She wanted to withdraw her hand resentfully, but Zishuo didn't let go, "Ye Zi, listen to me, Yan Xu is not a good person, he has a purpose in detaining you by his side......"

She couldn't move with the quilt in one hand, so she had to cover her ears with the other hand, "I don't listen, I don't listen!" If you talk nonsense again, I'll call people. ”

Zishuo really shut up, he knew her temperament, she never cared about it when she got angry, she did anything, if it attracted Yunwei's people, his hard work in hibernation would be exposed.

He looked at her for a long time, and finally sighed and let go of her hand, "Okay, I won't say it, anyway, you will know the truth sooner or later, you just need to remember that no matter what, I will protect you." ”

She looked at him expressionlessly, and turned to leave, but Zishuo stopped her, "Slow." ”

She frowned, "How are you doing?" ”

Zishuo said: "I don't know why you went to Yan Xu's study, but I advise you not to go again." Let's not say that this palace is already heavily defended, and Yan Xu's Yun Wei alone is not easy to deal with. On the night you went for the first time, Yunwei's people were not in the palace because they were transferred to pick up King Yingrui. And tonight...... Do you think that with your strength, you can evade the people of Yunwei? ”
