The road to death is short, and the road to the unknown is long, as if at that moment, the soul fell into an endless abyss. The fear of uncertainty is a real source of anticipation.

Lu Shihagi didn't know what he was expecting, maybe it was a collapse. He tried several times to calm himself down without success, and this fear stemmed from his distrust of anyone.

No one has been able to keep their promises. Whether it was grandpa saying that he would take him to grow up, or Zhao Shen saying that he would live with him for a long time, or the saintess who was uncertain later, or His Royal Highness King Shen to the present, they were all just a temporary harbor that turned into fireworks in fleeting memories in the future. Fortunately, he is an indifferent and indifferent person, even if he thinks about what he recalls, most of the time it will not cause any sad emotions, except that Zhao Shen will make his heart ache, nothing else.

The crux of the matter is that he doesn't know if he's still alive. Yes not sure. If you are uncertain, you will look forward to it, and if you look forward to it, you will be extinguished, which is a kind of torture of repeated love and hate.

But recently, he has dreamed of Zhao Shen more and more times, in the short intermittent dream, his face has become clearly visible, and in front of him, it is the adult who is talking to the adult - Zhao Shen has not seen Lu Shihagi grow up until he disappeared.

"Live until the day I see you grow up. ”

Lu Shihagi had to admit that he had relied on this sentence to support himself for a long time, because in order to live, people had to give up everything in themselves, at the cost of freedom and dignity, in exchange for some compensation, so that they could see the sun rise the next day again. In a boring life, interesting things are dangerous, and he learns to have fun with them.

Wang Liefeng and Zhao Yan were behind him. Lu Shihagi walked very slowly, and he heard Wang Liefeng's impatient footsteps, this was the time when he could control him. He believed that His Royal Highness King Shen could feel it too—then he should understand it immediately.

As he walked to a wall, he looked at the half-covered wall, and as soon as he raised his hand to fumble for the mechanism hidden on it, his mind turned and he let it go again. He looked up at the wall, thinking of countless snow-covered nights in Bianjing in the past, from cold to shivering, to leisurely warming by the fire, to now being numb to the cold and warmth. The whole world does not belong to him.

Life is also trapped by high walls, but if you leave, you have to die.

Is the same true for His Royal Highness King Shen?

Zhao Yan said behind him: "It's just a wall, what is there to see?"

"Ahh Lu Shihagi laughed and turned around, "I don't have much knowledge, I just feel that Bianjing hasn't had such a heavy snow for a long time." The snow can bury so much that I'll have to struggle to find the location. He stroked the wall, muttered for a moment, and said with a smile, "General Wang, please come inside with me." ”

Zhao Yan squinted his eyes slightly and looked at him, standing outside the courtyard without walking in.

He wanted to see what Lu Shihagi wanted to do.

Lu Shihagi never let him down, even if he did something contrary to what he commanded, in the end he still achieved his goal, so Zhao Yan was still more at ease with him, and tried not to restrict his every step, a high-level puppet should have his own consciousness.

Wang Liefeng followed Lu Shihagi into the courtyard, and when he looked up, this courtyard was more eerie and terrifying than other places, and the main reason was that the walls around it were towering into the sky, black and oppressive, like a huge coffin.

There is such a courtyard, and even if the people locked in it escape, they will have to scare half their lives.

"General Wang. Lu Shihagi said softly, "You go inside, the mechanism will be opened later, and I can't afford to hurt you." ”

As he spoke, with the force of his hand, the wall spun violently, and fell half diagonally, and continued to fall downward, as if it were an unstoppable flood, a flash flood of rocks rolling down, sinking, sinking, sinking into unfathomable secrets. The snow particles flew into mist, and for a while it was hazy and dreamy like a tiny fairyland, which was a dangerous disguise, and the fairyland became a hell in the fairyland.

When Lu Shihagi turned his head, he was facing Wang Liefeng's eyes. Wang Liefeng's eyes were deep, thoughtful, and he smiled at him, revealing his white teeth.

Wang Liefeng's voice was like transparent ice, clear and cold: "It's me who is lonely and unheard." It turns out that nowadays, people with a little status actually own a bigger residence than the original. ”

It's like snow burying the petals of a flower. It's like the disappearance and conspiracy of people.

Lu Shihao laughed and said, "General Wang, how much more? In fact, it is more than doubled." Everyone has hidden secrets, every dwelling has hidden corners, and there is a dark side to everyone's heart. General Wang has been fighting outside for many years, only knowing the ground and the sky, when he is outside, the place that cannot be reached is the sky, so he yearns for freedom; How many secrets are contained in this deep world. ”

The sky belongs to the birds, and the ground is the grave. These hidden nooks and crannies are intertwined and woven into a web of hunting, a dark and damp secret shared by the host. The shiny surface of Bianjing City is actually more like a mirage.

Wang Liefeng said coldly: "I don't want to listen to your crazy words. Hand over my sister or I won't do anything for you. ”

Lu Shihagi laughed out loud: "General Wang, will I believe your words? You probably thought like this: If you don't hand over your sister, you will turn this place upside down." But you think it's time to talk about conditions, not threats, after all, His Royal Highness King Shen is kind to you, and only he is really treating your father. You think so, but I don't. If you were to take her away, wouldn't there be no more conditions to restrict you?"

Wang Liefeng was speechless for a while, surprised by Lu Shihao's quick response. Agile and ruthless, gentle and gentle ruthless.

And what I didn't expect was that when Lu Shihagi spoke, the surrounding snow and fog rose like a huge wave, and the wind and remnants of the clouds at his feet rotated more and more, and the sound became louder and louder, while Lu Shihagi's voice remained unchanged, and he spoke calmly and steadily, and his expression changed greatly without moving.

And Zhao Yan outside the door didn't seem to expect this, and asked hesitantly: "Lu Shihagi, what are you doing? What are you going to do?"

However, for a split second, his voice was drowned out by the sound of the ground continuing to fall. At the same time, the doors of the courtyard slowly closed from both sides to the middle.

Wang Liefeng really couldn't concentrate on listening, he had already felt that the situation around him was not good, and he had just taken half a step back, but he stepped on a mass of emptiness, so he quickly withdrew his feet and looked at Lu Shiha intently.

Lu Shihagi stood not far away, and the unfathomable darkness under his feet was also unfathomable. He threw a grim smile at him, as shallow and barren as this overwhelming snow: "General Wang, don't move, it's very deep below, comparable to a cliff, and there are dense mechanisms. If you make a mistake, something will come up from below, and I can't guarantee what it is. ”

Lu Shihagi's words were very ambiguous. Without explaining what it is, people will always go in the direction they are afraid of, and even innocuous small difficulties will become insurmountable in their minds.

The ground here has sunk into an abyss, leaving only a few small and dense paths on the ground that have become barely footing, but it still takes a lot of care to walk. Looking at the whole area, the courtyard has become a huge labyrinth, and people are struggling to walk on it.

Wang Liefeng said: "You brought me here just to trap me?"

"How so, General Wang. Lu Shihagi smiled, "Seeing that you are so anxious, I am afraid that you are too anxious, so I plan to play a game with you, let you use your brain, and relieve your anxiety." As long as you get from where you are, to the door on the west side of the courtyard, that's the exit, and even if you win, I'll give you back your sister, how about it?"

Wang Liefeng said: "What reason do you have for me to believe you?"

"There's no reason. Lu Shihao said with a smile, if you really want to, I'll show you how. Do you see this exit beside me? it's not an exit, it's an entrance, if you have to break out of this place—" He lowered his head and took out a copper plate from his sleeve, and threw it at the white scenery outside, and the copper plate flew out along a huge parabola, and fell to the ground with a thud —

Suddenly, two silver rays of light staggered up from the ground, throwing the copper plate back into the air from the ground, followed by two silver lights in different positions from the ground, jumping higher and more fierce, since then, four rays of light surrounded the copper plate from all directions, and in an instant it was rolled in, the rays overlapped and coincided, only a scream of the copper plate was heard, and the four rays of light drilled back into the ground, and the copper plate was still in mid-air—turned into powder—and was blown down by the wind, trembling and trembling.

Lu Shihagi breathed a sigh of relief and blew again, so as not to fly the copper powder to his face.

Wang Liefeng laughed dryly.

"General Wang. You obviously know that it is the greatest mercy for His Royal Highness King Shen to tell you that his sister is still alive, as for whether you want to confirm whether she is alive or not - but I, the follower, only know that all those who do not take His Royal Highness King Shen's words as oracles are not qualified to live. ”

Even if he guessed his intentions, Wang Liefeng still felt the effort to confront him mentally. As for his martial arts, Wang Liefeng has always been in an unknown state: he only knows that Lu Shihao has always been by Zhao Li's side, but he has never seen him make a move, because very few people can make a move against Zhao Li. It's inevitable, but it doesn't matter, most of the time the fight in martial arts is based on instantaneous judgment.

He was ready to live with him.

"What, General Wang, are you angry?" Lu Shihagi observed the change in his expression and grinned, "Don't, play this game, maybe you won't complain." ”

won't complain, including being dead and not being able to speak, Wang Liefeng didn't know, just sneered: "You're really interested, but I don't have time to spend here with you." With that, Wang Liefeng reached out to his side and grabbed a small ball of snow, grinding it in his hand, his arm did not move, but he quietly threw the flying snow quickly on Lu Shihagi's face, and the snow particles showed a line, straight towards Lu Shihagi's face.

However, Lu Shihagi dodged slightly and dodged - no harm, he also knew that Wang Liefeng didn't really want his life, but just threatened him.

But no one knows who threatens whom.

After avoiding it, he tilted his head and smiled at Wang Liefeng: "General Wang, tell you one more thing, your sister is at your feet, somewhere in this, in a door." But even if I open all the doors here, will you be able to determine which one is the right one?"

Wang Liefeng couldn't answer. So Lu Shihagi laughed sneered: "It's normal, I've thought about this question many times." Presenting all the possibilities at once is just another kind of loss in the end. ”

Although Lu Shihao tried his best to avoid it, Zhao Tong still noticed his abnormality.

He did have the intention of controlling Wang Liefeng, but he didn't think it would take so long, he was still waiting for Wang Liefeng to help him do something, it was impossible for Lu Shihao not to know this.

If you think about it, what he did was right, but the way he chose was quite long, who knows how long the two of them can fight, if one of them dies, it will be more than worth the loss.

This place did not lead to the place where Wang Chuli was imprisoned at all, and he didn't tell the truth from beginning to end, but Zhao Yan listened and didn't refute, thinking that maybe it was Lu Shihao's delaying tactic to deceive Wang Liefeng, but there was more than one way to control Wang Liefeng, if he wanted to deceive himself at the same time...... It suddenly became clear.

Zhao Yan was a little angry. However, it's a little too late to get angry now, he can't go into the backyard and open the door to pull Lu Shihagi out and kill him, and the maze in the backyard will trouble him for a long time before killing him. Pay for one's whistle. He suppressed his anger, paced expressionlessly, and saw the young maid who had just brought him tea and water not far away, and walked up with a pout, three steps and two steps, and in the frightened and pitiful eyes of the maid, his hand tightened around her neck, and then—click—the maid's head tilted, and the whole person hung down like a broken cloth bag, like an abominable doll in the palace of Emperor Longyou. Whew, deflated.

Zhao Yan is not a young master who opens his mouth for anything, nor is he a stupid ruler, it is impossible for Lu Shihao to try to hide from him, and most of the ways to communicate with him are frank and honest, plus some communication skills, so that he can get along without getting angry and crazy. In fact, Zhao Yan has a keener awareness than Lu Shihagi, not only because of his higher status. Therefore, the moment the door of the courtyard closed, he immediately turned around and walked towards the place where Wang Chuli was being held.

He walked back to his bedroom, walked straight to the head of the bed, a beautiful girl shrunk into a ball, covered herself with a soft quilt, looked at him secretly, and said, "Your Royal Highness King Shen, it's only afternoon, why are you going to take a nap-"

This woman is actually the beautiful legend of Bianjing in the past, Nie Shengqiong.

However, Zhao Yan didn't even look at her, and sat silently on the bed with his back to her, leaning down to study the sculpture used for bedside decoration. Nine dragons and seven phoenixes, peony flowers bloom richly, birds and beasts are all over the ground, just as luxurious and beautiful as his palanquin. He looked at the past expressionlessly, stopped at the sixth dragon from right to left, and counted it repeatedly, after making sure that it was correct, his hand touched the dragon's eyes, his hand turned over, and a small jade bead flew out of his palm, from this position to the past, until the brocade flowers carved at the end of the bed, Nie Shengqiong couldn't hear it, but Zhao Yan could catch the sound of a run-in in the small bayonet. It's done, it's here.

Nie Shengqiong tried to ease the cold atmosphere, moved over, grabbed Zhao Yan's arm and said, "His Royal Highness King Shen, what are you doing here?"

said that it was too late and that was fast, Zhao Yan twisted her arm, and Nie Shengqiong was startled and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Shen, it hurts ——"

"Shut up for me. Zhao Yan said coldly, suddenly pulled Nie Shengqiong's whole person up, dragged him over from the wall, and threw him off the bed hard, "Be your dog, don't bother me to do things." The surnamed Li sent you here to please me, not to make me unhappy. Remember, huh?"

"Remember, slave remember. Nie Shengqiong was on the ground, so painful that she was about to faint.

Her eyes were full of tears, her whole body was cold with fear, and she muttered in a whisper: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave and the maid will never ...... again" Before she finished speaking, she was beaten, and the severe pain came, and the pain made her fall apart, but Zhao Yan seemed to be staring at her, and suddenly stood up - she trembled and tried to get up, but heard Zhao Yan's voice: "I told you not to move." ”

Nie Shengqiong burst into tears in pain. She once thought that she would be able to live a peaceful life after marrying Lord Li, after all, the two had been born and died together, and she always felt that the friendship would be deeper. However, she thought about her ordinary life, and Master Li, who had become her husband, didn't think so. Master Li wants to climb up, to form a party for personal gain, to use valuable things to make himself rise step by step, or to be threatened to save his life.

He said that she was his treasure, and that was true. When the time comes, the treasure will be taken out and offered to the honorable person.

She was given to Zhao Tong as a gift not long ago. Unlike Lord Lee, at least from the beginning, Lord Lee cherished her very much - otherwise he would not have noticed her value. However, Zhao Yan is different, he is a madman with no emotion, women are tools to vent anger, and he just makes the quality of these tools very high because of his high position. Nie Shengqiong couldn't forget that day, His Royal Highness King Shen came in a sedan chair, she trembled and brought tea and water, His Royal Highness King Shen's eyes stayed on her for a while, and then smiled slightly, Lord Li has such a beautiful lady, and she is not shallow.

At this time, her heart suddenly struck like thunder. Unprecedented horrible, occupying the chest.
