The red candle was burning, combing in the mirror, in the dim copper mirror, two pretty figures were reflected, Dou Lan reached out and inserted the last Zhu Hai for Cen Kexuan, turned her head and looked at her carefully for a while, and suddenly asked with a smile: "What does Miss think of this makeup?" Cen Kexuan, who was originally a little stunned, came back to his senses a little, and looked at the mirror, his eyebrows and eyes were exquisitely beautiful, his eyelashes curled like a fan, his cheeks, which had been ruddy, became a little pale, and his eyes were a lot darker, only a little bit of rouge on his lips was a little ruddy, which made this face familiar and unfamiliar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Cen ...... Can...... Xuan ......" She unconsciously whispered her name, her lips numbly opening and closing up and down, as if it were not her own voice.

In a trance, the hidden tombstone hidden in the col suddenly burst into her mind, causing her to suddenly have a kind of fear, which came like a summer storm, without warning. She clenched her palms a little, stared at her face almost distractedly, and slowly opened her mouth to ask word by word: "Do you remember what I looked like when you first saw me?" ”

Dou Lan was stunned, not understanding why she asked this, lowered her eyes as if recalling, then curled the corners of her mouth, looked at the appearance of the two in the mirror and smiled slightly: "Of course I remember, the young lady at that time was not quite the same as today, like a child." One of her hands was still on Cen Kexuan's shoulder, and the other gradually slipped from the bead hairpin on the top of her head, in the mirror, this action was naturally like a boudoir picture, "People say that women have changed eighteen, but now I can't see what I looked like when I was a child......"

It's just that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Cen Kexuan's fingers trembled, and the eyebrow pencil that he had been holding in his hand almost fell to the ground, and his face became even paler. As soon as she closed her eyes, the old and mottled grave did not disperse in front of her eyes, and the three words "Cen Kexuan" were drawn in her heart like a knife blade, stroke by stroke, blurry but profound.

Who is she? Where does it come from?

When she really wore red makeup and married a woman, who could prove that she was Cen Kexuan, instead of dying early and buried in a secret grave?

At this time, the sky was about to dawn, and a gray-white moth flew in outside the window, flapping its wings and flying around the candle flame next to the mirror, inciting the fire to sway, reflecting on Cen Kexuan's silent face, and the dim light was like her lonely and confused heart at the moment. Suddenly, the moth circled the candle twice, and flew into the flames with determination, and before the gauzy wings could be flapped a few times, most of them were burned off......

There was a snort, and the smell of burnt objects came through the air.

Moths put out the fire and kill themselves.

Cen Kexuan indifferently blew out the candle, and the room suddenly darkened a lot. She closed her eyes slightly, her eyelashes trembling, and she felt that such a dark environment was surprisingly consistent with her inner world at this time, which made her feel a kind of world-weary and even want to hide from now on.

In front of her is a mahogany moire case, there are not many things on the face, two delicate small square boxes carved with peony flowers, on the mirror box is a copper mirror with the pattern of Luan Bird Rui Beast, and a boxy red sandalwood box, the red sandalwood box is very chic, carved on all sides of the treasure phase flower entwined with branches, but there is a Luan Feng foot on the color lotus, bent neck fluttering wings. She moved the rosewood box to her hand, lifted the lid, and took out from it a clump of brilliant silk thread, and a small shiny embroidery needle.

"I heard that you embroider very beautifully, why don't you teach me." She finally whispered, pinching the embroidery needle to her fingertips, under the dim light and shadow, she could still transmit a little cold, she turned her fingers slightly and groped, but her mind was full of pictures of her brother taking her to the Lin family's orchard when she was a child.

"Will my brother marry Yufei home in the future?" As a young woman, she looked at the huge garden, and suddenly realized that the words that Lin Yufei said when she showed off her martial arts on weekdays were very likely to come true. The so-called parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker, if there is an appointment in the morning, the children can only obey it. Of course, she didn't think of so much back then, but she was just attracted by this orchard, and felt that this large orchard looked like a grand dowry.

She wants it, and Cen Zifei definitely wants it too.

Cen Zifei really showed a helpless and embarrassed look, and finally said to her with a smile: "If Kexuan doesn't like it, then I won't be married." "Of course, this is to coax her. However, even so, he used to be so conniving and loving her, let alone his father and mother who always held her in the palm of his hand?

However, if the only person in this world she wants to rely on has nothing to do with her, where will she go?

"Miss wants to learn needlework?" Dou Lan looked very surprised, "Didn't Miss love to learn before, how can she ...... today?"

"I'm going to get married, if I can't even make a beautiful dress, won't it make people see a joke?" She said these words in a flat tone, not at all like the usual lightness, but more as if she had accepted her fate in an instant.

Dou Lan finally sensed that something was wrong with her, she saw Cen Kexuan looking at the window by herself, raising the red thread ball in her hand to thread the needle, looking completely forgetful, but her eyes lost her lustre, and her heart was mixed for a while.

Speaking of embroidery, of course, she is very familiar with it, before entering the Ziyun Palace, her parents died early, and she has been following an embroidery girl in Suzhou to do things, the embroidery girl's surname is Chen, very skillful, Dou Lan was a girl who was a handy girl every day to help her busy, so she was already familiar with all kinds of embroidery methods at a young age. Later, the embroidery girl got married and no longer went out to make a living, she didn't rely on it, and wandered around alone, so she was transferred to Ziyun Palace several times.

All kinds of things can be said to be three days and three nights, and her experience in embroidery is endless. But at this moment, she had no intention of mentioning these pasts, let alone seriously talking to Cen Kexuan, she sighed, and finally said: "Miss, that guy Xiao Wu came to you two days ago, and I saw that you were very depressed, so I sent him away." ”

Cen Kexuan suddenly stabbed his hand, and traces of blood appeared on his fingertips. Dou Lan hurriedly said that she was going to get the medicine, but Cen Kexuan shook his head, put his finger in his mouth, and his mind was noisy for a while. She closed her eyes and took several deep breaths, unable to stop her troubled heart. Finally got up and said, "Where is he now, I want to see him." ”

All the apprehension and uncertainty are not as good as seeing him, she is more eager than ever to see Cen Zifei, and she is more afraid to see him than ever.

And the answer to all this needs to be found from Xiao Wu.

When Cen Kexuan saw Xiao Wu, the guy was still sorting out the flowers and plants in the flower garden, and he was humming a minor tune that he didn't know which tavern Qinglou learned, Cen Kexuan dragged him to a corner where there was no one without saying a word, and asked, "Have you heard the news of Hanyue?" This is exactly what she asked Xiao Wu to inquire about her a few days ago, no matter how anxious she is, she can only wait, and today, this guy is finally back.

Xiao Wu seemed to be startled, shrunk his neck to look left and right, then stood up straight, coughed and said, "That, I spent a lot of effort to help you-"

"You speak first!" Cen Kexuan interrupted him, and he didn't have the slightest time to listen to his nonsense.

Xiao Wu glanced at her a little unhappily, and finally beckoned her to come closer, and then lowered his voice and said, "I'm going to inquire." While he was talking, he still did not forget to raise his eyes to inspect the four directions, the two of them were in the southwest corner of a garden, the path in the garden was tortuous, planted rows of weeping willows, rockeries scattered among them, they hid behind a two-person high rockery, happened to be blocked most of the figures, after confirming that no one was there, he said in one breath: "Someone saw him appear in the suburbs of Luoyang a few days ago, and the news is very reliable." ”

"He's near Luoyang?" Cen Kexuan unconsciously raised his voice.

"It's true!" Xiao Wu stretched out three fingers and pointed to the sky, for fear that Cen Kexuan would not trust him, "Don't you want to think about it, he has injuries on his body, and there are many enemies, isn't it safer to hide at this time?" He seemed to think he was very clever and speculated to himself: "He will not go far!" ”

"That being said, but-"

Xiao Wu pressed her raised hand, "But his exact location has not yet been determined, after all, he has always been an unpredictable figure!" He shook his head and waved his hand, and said with a worried look: "Now that his jade pendant is in your hand, maybe it will find your head in a few days, I think you should be careful, that guy is powerful, ruthless, in case ......"

"Maybe you just misunderstand him." Cen Kexuan felt very uncomfortable when he saw that he naturally classified Han Yue as a dangerous person who had to be kept away, and tried to explain, "I think, maybe...... He's actually a good guy, but he's a little bitter......"

"Ha-" Xiao Wu sneered and didn't speak.

However, sometimes silence can express a person's attitude and emotions better than words, Xiao Wu once almost lost his life at the hands of Han Yue, it is understandable to have a grudge against him, and it is not overnight to change his opinion. Cen Kexuan thought about it in his heart, knowing that no matter what she said now, it would be useless, and he didn't plan to argue more, so he had to explain his purpose concisely: "I want to find him no matter what." ”

Xiao Wu was stunned, "What are you looking for him?" ”

Cen Kexuan opened his mouth and closed it, not knowing how to explain. He may not be what you think he is, and he may not be what she thinks he is. So what will he really look like? Cen Kexuan didn't dare to think about it, and all kinds of thoughts were difficult to dissipate. In the end, she could only pat him on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao Wu, let's be friends, you have to do me a favor anyway." ”

Xiao Wu immediately caught the meaning, shrunk his neck, and said reluctantly: "You shouldn't let me take you to him, right?" Seeing Cen Kexuan's eyes suddenly brighten, Xiao Wu's face turned like ashes for a moment.

"No, no, no." He hurriedly waved his hand, and even took two steps back in a row, until he got close to the wall and had no way to retreat, before he said: "You obviously know that he almost killed me, and I hit him because of how cheap I was?" Do I think I'm going to live too long? ”

"But—"

"Besides, I advise you to give up on this idea. There are many people in this world who want to find Hanyue, and there is no shortage of them who are strong in martial arts. He glanced at Cen Kexuan and emphasized, "At least above you!" Seeing that Cen Kexuan's eyes did not waver, he finally changed to a more solemn look and continued: "However, there is almost only one end for them-" He sneered, and suddenly stood up straight and was about to leave, "That's death!" ”

In the secluded garden, in addition to Xiao Wu's voice, there was only the rustle of the wind blowing the willows, and Xiao Wu's footsteps gradually rose, walking decisively and decisively.

"There's a good chance he's my brother." Cen Kexuan closed his eyes and said slowly, "It's my only relative in this world." ”

Xiao Wu's footsteps suddenly stopped. He was silent for a moment and then slowly turned his head, the afternoon sun crept up his face little by little, jumping and swaying, on his usual hippie smiling face, a pair of dark brown pupils contracted slightly, and his gaze gradually changed from surprise to complex and unpredictable, and finally turned into a helpless smile.

"I see." He said.

At that moment, Cen Kexuan felt for the first time that Xiao Wu also looked radiant.

When the time was set, and when everyone in the garden had fallen asleep, they took their simple luggage and secretly left. Cen Kexuan has been restless since he made this decision, and he has eaten very little. Dou Lan was a little worried and asked her for warmth, but she only said perfunctorily that she was a little sleepy, so she dismissed everyone and entered the house alone, lying on the bed alone in a daze. was stunned, and couldn't help but fall into his own thoughts. Thinking about it a lot, for the first time in her life, she thought about something so seriously, from beginning to end.

At the beginning, all the Cen family members were killed, and others didn't know the reason, but the Cen family was miserable and innocent, but she knew a little about it. At the very least, she knew that the other party's actions were to seize the Qilin Blood Jade, and she finally returned empty-handed.

As the heirloom of the Cen family, she has never known much about the mystery of the Qilin blood jade, and when they were separated, one of the two jade pendants was taken away by her brother, and one was left on her body. Now, both of them have come to him. In other words, the Bai family spent so much effort, but they still didn't find the Qilin Blood Jade, how could they be willing?

In the past ten years, they have not found their brother, presumably because his brother is incognito in the rivers and lakes, and there is no way to find out. And being in the Purple Cloud Palace is an excellent protective barrier. However, they didn't know when they knew their hiding place, so they used the so-called method of proposing relatives to take themselves out of the Purple Cloud Palace, and then ...... Then use yourself to lure my brother out, killing two birds with one stone, just two pieces. After all, as long as Cen Zifei knew more or less about it, he would never watch her marry someone from the Zuoquan Bai family, so the palace master swore that she would definitely be able to meet Cen Zifei.

Then the cause of this, the palace master must also be clear.

Thinking about it this way, Bai Moyin and Bai Yufeng should be on the same line. It would definitely not be the two of them who were looking for the Qilin Blood Jade at the beginning, but their father, that is, the former owner Bai Liancheng, but after Bai Liancheng died, they obviously did not give up, so they planned this marriage.

In the past, Dou Lan said that Bai Yufeng was afraid of Bai Moyin, so he wanted to seek the backing of Ziyun Palace in order to seek temporary shelter. Although the two are brothers, they are not born to the same mother, and they are almost the same age, and they have been fighting openly and secretly in order to get the position of the owner. But if this is really the case, why would Bai Moyin come all the way to Ziyun Palace to pick him up in person, and take good care of himself all the way, and protect him well? It stands to reason that in his position, shouldn't he find a way to ruin this marriage to fight back against Bai Yufeng? Even killed her unknowingly on the way.

From this point of view, he is obviously coming for the Qilin Blood Jade.

Which guess is correct? Perhaps only when she saw Bai Yufeng could she slowly guess some of these clues.

However, she did not have the time. If any of them knew that this pair of Qilin Blood Jade was already in their hands, how long would she live? Suddenly, Cen Kexuan remembered the man who stood at the gate of Biliuyuan yesterday. Since he came to find Bai Moyin, why didn't he go directly to Biliu Garden, but he had to wait at the door? What could they not say in the Green Willow Garden, but to change places?

Who the hell is he? What are they going to say? Why avoid her, and even everyone? What are their secrets? What does it have to do with her? Cen Kexuan suddenly felt a headache, and the overwhelming problems made her a little overwhelmed, so she willfully covered her head with the quilt, and simply didn't think about anything.

The most important thing at the moment is to find my brother and make sure he is safe and sound. Also, ask yourself about your true background......

When the drum was beaten, Cen Kexuan was already waiting in a corner of the backyard, which was the place where she and Xiao Wu had made an appointment, and there were few people on weekdays, so it was not easy to be found. Moreover, when this wall is turned out, there is a street, and it only takes a while to go out of the street to get out of the city gate. At this moment, it was late at night, Cen Kexuan was waiting here, lonely and apprehensive in her heart, but after a while, she really saw a figure and came towards her lightly.

"Why are you here?"

"Are you still planning to come back?"

The previous sentence was asked by Cen Kexuan, and the latter sentence was asked by Xiao Wu, after the words landed, both of them were stunned for a moment, and Cen Kexuan's eyes began to wander, as if it was difficult to give an answer, and maybe she didn't even think about it herself.

"Okay, then I'll answer you first." Xiao Wu saw that it was difficult for her to answer for a while, so he simply shook off his burden and spoke first: "I don't plan to come back, so it took some time to pack my things." As she spoke, she turned sideways slightly, so that Cen Kexuan could see clearly the outfit that was heavier than she expected.

Of course he can leave just like that, after all, he is a temporary person, and he has nothing to do with the Bai family, so he can go without worry, but what about her? Cen Kexuan raised her head slightly, and saw the black tiles of the eaves hidden in the dark night and the green willows, and the shadow of the white clothes lingered in her mind, and a dense and complex and indescribable emotion suddenly appeared in her heart. It's really cut, and it's messy! After a long time, she finally made up her mind and said, "Ten days, ten days at most, if I can't find him, I'll come back." ”

Xiao Wu nodded and didn't ask any more. The two of them glanced at each other, and then performed light skills one after the other, climbed out of the wall along the wall, and rushed towards the outside of the city in the faint moonlight, their figures were as light and agile as swallows, and soon disappeared into the vast night. In Cen Kexuan's room, a neat letter paper was pressed firmly on the desk by the inkstone, and except for a small drop of ink, the rest was blank.

When she left, she hesitated and lingered for a long time, but after all, she did not leave a word. (To be continued.) )
