64. Timidity

He didn't like it.

As a person of the imperial family, marrying a wife has always been the force behind the woman, when he proposed to marry Gu Xiyue, he was worried that his father would not look down on her family background, but he didn't expect things to go very well, and he would secretly congratulate his father for his reasonableness. It wasn't until the night of the wedding that his father told him about the sacrifice, that he realized that his father had been watching from the sidelines, watching him fall in love step by step, and his deep love for Gu Xiyue was just a part of the whole plan, not to mention Gu Xiyue, even if he said at the time that he was going to marry a Qinglou woman who was as good as he could, his father would not have any obstruction.

But back then, he had already fallen into the tempting trap of the Ten Directions, and he didn't have the extra heart to mind his father's calculations, which were not strictly speaking, but now looking back, this kind of rational act of silently watching from the sidelines and watching coldly as he walked into the cage step by step according to his pre-designed pace made him feel like a thorn in his back. He can accept his father's domination of his life, but he can't accept that he even calculates his feelings.

It's ironic to think about it, he has always been accustomed to calculating and controlling people, but he didn't expect that in the end, he was actually in the calculations of others. But once again, he will never allow his life to be calculated and dominated by anyone again, even if it is his father, his life can only be decided by himself.

"Shizi, An Yi agreed." Yun Shan came out of the dungeon and reported to Yan Xu, "Originally, he hesitated, but Prince Wei breathed this morning, begged for comfort, and promised him that as long as he returned to Wei, he would immediately rehabilitate his father King Xiang, move the bones of his parents into the tomb of King Wei, recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, An Yi agreed, but he proposed that he would leave twenty Bliss Pills for himself, and those Bliss Pills could only be taken by him personally. ”

After all, if the Bliss Pill is all gone, he won't be able to live by himself, and it is human nature for him to leave twenty pills for himself, who doesn't cherish his life? If he doesn't mention any conditions, it makes people suspicious. Yan Xu only thought for a moment before agreeing, "Give him three hours, tell him, if he doesn't come back after three hours, Prince Wei's head will be hung at the east gate of Yicheng for public display." ”

After Yun Shan took the order and left, Yun Wen came back again, saying that Chenfeng had found Miss Ye, who was in an inn next to the Xingyu River. Yan Xu raised his feet and left.

Xingyu River is in the southern suburbs of the city, the reason why it is called Xingyu River is because there is a small river there, the two banks of the river are planted with apricot trees, and when the apricot blossoms bloom, the apricot blossoms float into the river like raindrops, so it is named. Every time the apricot blossoms bloom, many literati and artists like to come here to watch the flowers and write poems.

galloping all the way, when it was approaching, Yan Xu suddenly stopped Mahler, and not far ahead was the inn where she stayed, too worried, and when she finally wanted to meet, she was a little timid. He dismounted, threw the reins to Yun Wen, and walked along the river bank himself.

In April, the Yicheng is the season of flowers, the apricot blossoms are blooming luxuriantly, at a glance, the rouge on both sides of the strait is ten thousand points, and the white flocculent is blooming. As soon as the wind passed, the snow-white petals fluttered and swirled down into the river, and the narrow surface of the river seemed to be dyed with a layer of hoarfrost.

At this time, she should have recovered her memory and restored everything, I don't know if she will still hate herself like in her previous life, and when she sees him, I don't know if she will stab him without hesitation. Although the knife didn't really stab him, when I think about it at this moment, there is still a faint pain in the left lower abdomen. But in any case, in this life, he has taken the initiative to confess, and promised that he will not ask for ten directions again, how can her hatred for him not be as strong as in the previous life.

Xinghua is not willing to think ruthlessly, what is the most heartbreaking pedestrian.

Yan Xu walked and walked, such a poem suddenly popped up in his mind, he couldn't help laughing, half a life of flashiness, after all the wind and rain, he had already practiced a cold and ruthless heart, and there was no youth love when the first time he was young, but now he just saw her again, and he gave birth to so many sentiments for no reason.

He shook his head self-deprecatingly, no matter how she is, if you don't know when you meet, whether she wants to or not, he is bound to circle her by his side, and never let her leave him for half a step.

With his mind in mind, he took a step, but he paused after only a few steps, and his breathing was sluggish.

This place is located at the end of the Xingyu River, the location is relatively remote, there is no prosperity in the river, the tourists are scarce, it is almost dusk at this time, and there is no one figure of people. But not far away, on top of the inconspicuous little arched bridge, sat a young woman.

She sat sideways on the pier, with one hand on the pillar and the other on her cheek, looking at the falling flowers and the slowly flowing river. The sun is setting in the west, the colorful glow is flying, her pale green figure is bathed in the glow at this time, as if covered with a layer of pale golden tulle, the tenderness and the surrounding scenery are integrated, like a landscape painting with appropriate shades, so soft that people can't bear to disturb.

He stood under the apricot tree and watched silently for a long time, and suddenly thought how beautiful it would be if two pale pink apricots were inserted in her plain sideburns. Thinking so, he reached out and plucked an apricot branch.

She was no longer Xiyue, but he didn't want to call her a leaf like Yili and Anyi, so he called softly, "Xuan'er." ”

No one had ever shouted like this, Ye Xuan's heart trembled slightly, and she suddenly looked back. This time he looked back, it seemed to be frozen, he stood on the bridge a foot away from him, holding an apricot blossom in his hand, his slightly reduced face was still as beautiful as jade, a pair of eyes were deep and boundless, and the glow of the setting sun seemed to be exhausted, as if there were fine pieces of gold flowing from the bottom of his eyes, and he was full of brilliance. For a moment, Ye Xuan forgot where she was, forgot who her surname was, and her lips opened slightly, and she called softly, "Jinyun." ”

Immediately, she saw the smile spread from his lips to the corners of his eyebrows, and he slowly stepped forward, plucked two delicate apricot blossoms from the apricot branch in his hand, and inserted them into her temples. She was full of joy, and her smile was as delicate as the apricot blossoms, and she looked at his face, but when he lowered his hand, and she saw the royal blue gown on his body, the smile on her face suddenly froze, and she took two steps back sharply, looking at him vigilantly, "What are you doing?" ”

Her sudden change of face and vigilant look made Yan Xu's heart sink slightly, obviously they had only been separated for a month, but they seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, "Xuan'er, how are you doing lately?" ”

His sudden appearance made Ye Xuan's heart tumble, especially the subconscious sound of Jinyun just now, which made her even more annoyed, she had a frost on her face, and said coldly: "Originally, it was okay, but Yunzhu said that if I don't have an antidote in two days, I'm afraid that life will be worse than death." Are you satisfied? ”

Yan Xu said helplessly: "Xuan'er, don't be willful, it's not that I don't want to give you the antidote, but the rivers and lakes are sinister, I don't know how many people covet alien people in secret, in case your identity is exposed, the consequences are unimaginable, if you have three long and two short, there are thousands of mountains and rivers, I don't even know where to save you." ”

She sneered, "The rivers and lakes are sinister...... But no matter how sinister you are, those people just covet my blood, but what about you, not only do you covet my blood, but you also erase my memories and let me be at your mercy like a puppet for three years, who do you say is more sinister than whom? I tell you clearly, I don't want to be under your control anymore, you will either give me the antidote to thousands of mountains and rivers, or watch me die! ”

Yan Xu pursed his lips, he knew that he couldn't argue, so he only said, "I admit that I missed it, but that's all in the past." Xuan'er, since I chose to confess to you, I didn't think about denying it, I just waited for you to recover your memories one day and come back to collect debts from me. He stepped forward and reached out to take her hand, "I can't give you the antidote, but what I owe you will be repaid to you, go back with me." ”

Ye Xuan shook off his hand and took two steps back, "No, you promised to let me leave last time in Yucheng, what's the matter, do you want to regret it now?" ”

Yan Xu looked at her and suddenly smiled, "What I said, it naturally counts." But you may have forgotten, I said last time that you only have one chance, if you decide to leave me, it's best to be ruthless, stay away, and don't let me find you. Otherwise......" Before his words fell, his body had moved, and he grabbed Ye Xuan's wrist in a flash, "I have the final say." ”

Ye Xuan didn't expect him to make a move suddenly, but she was not slow to react, and her left hand pulled out the short blade hidden in her waist, and it was slashed to the right side between the electric lights and flints. She was restrained with her right hand, and her short blade was not Yan Xu's hand, but her own hand. Yan Xu didn't expect her to be so ruthless, if he didn't let go, her right hand would be cut off by Qi Wrist. He had no choice but to let go of his hand, but he was also annoyed by her fierceness, so as soon as he let go, he grabbed the short blade of her left hand again, and said in his heart, how much ability do you have, even if you use it, he doesn't believe that he can let her run under his nose today.

Ye Xuan seemed to have expected that he would not give up lightly, and stabbed him twice before he caught him, Yan Xu dodged sideways, but she was just a false move, just for a moment, she had jumped away like a rabbit, turned around and ran. The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and after a chuckle, his body was flat on the ground like a roc spreading his wings, chasing after her.

The two of them ran and chased one after another, stopping from time to time for two moves, Ye Xuan relied on him not to really hurt her, and the short blade stabbed out without fear, but at the same time, what annoyed her was that she couldn't get rid of him no matter what.

The two of them gradually left the shore and ran into an apricot grove, where the apricot blossoms bloomed brilliantly, and the red and bright buds were all over the branches, but as their clothes flew down, they were snow-white petals.

The apricot blossoms are sparse, her pale green slender figure walks through the flowers, like an apricot blossom fairy, Yan Xu only feels pleasing to the eye, so she has the heart to slow down and chase behind her unhurriedly. He chased easily, but Ye Xuan's internal strength was not continuous, and he soon felt struggling, seeing that Yan Xu was still in a beautiful posture, retracting and releasing freely, it was as if he was teasing her, and he couldn't help but feel anxious and hateful in his heart, and when he made another move, he used all his strength.

A cold aura came from the tip of her blade, sandwiched with the power of frost and thunder and lightning, Yan Xu was taken aback, this kind of cold aura was very familiar to him, "Xuan'er, you actually practiced the Northern Secret Technique?" You are crazy? ”

Ye Xuan didn't answer, her eyes were full of intense hatred, her chest seemed to be filled with some kind of love, almost bursting, and the short blade in her hand stabbed at him regardless of it.

Yan Xu took two more moves, and there was no doubt that she was using the heart method of the Northern Secret Technique. He was horrified, he deeply understood the subtleties of the Northern Secret Technique, but he also knew how dangerous it was. The Northern Secret is profound and complex, and the more you practice it, the more complex and changeable it becomes, and the stronger the will required by the practitioner, and the slightest carelessness will lead to madness. was as determined as he was, and he almost went mad back then, so he had to give up his skills and start over.

She has been by his side for so long, he doesn't know when she secretly practiced the Northern Secret Technique, seeing the red light gradually floating in her eyes, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately took a shot like lightning, snatched the short blade in her hand, threw it far away, and then gently slapped it on her forehead with a palm.

Ye Xuan took two steps back in a hurry, and there was a soft bang, and her back had hit the tree pole. The force of the impact was very light, but the apricot blossoms on the tree fell under the shock.

Ye Xuan's eyes were tightly closed and leaned against the tree pole and panted repeatedly, thinking back to the moment just now, her chest seemed to be filled with a raging fire, and the fire had nowhere to vent, so uncomfortable that her whole body swelled, and even the qiē she saw in her eyes was scarlet, she realized that she was almost mad just now, and she couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

When she opened her eyes, they were clear. The apricot blossoms on the trees are still falling, as if the sky is full of frost and snow, overwhelmingly surrounding the two. Yan Xu was close to herself, her handsome face was close at hand, she was startled and wanted to retreat, but her back was attached to the tree pole, and there was no way to retreat.

The next moment, he cupped her face and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
