This night, Chongyang slept very unsteadily, and the wound hurt so much that she spent the nightmare between waking up and sleeping.

The survivors of the Plum Garden didn't spend their time in a state of confusion.

I don't know when this bloody battle will end, but when I come back to my senses, the surroundings have been quiet. Still, eerie still, the whole garden was shrouded in oppressive silence, the silence of death.

At dawn, the servants emerged from their huddled state, and their eyes were in a mess, covered with blood and corpses.

They stood up tired, their hands and feet numb, and they recovered only for a moment, and then began to look for something to clean the grounds.

The gate of the plum garden opened, and the servants entered one by one, picking up the bloodstains and corpses that could appear in the courtyard at any time.

Hundreds of corpses, a small part of which were the Jianghu people who were in the hall last night, compared their faces, their names were recorded one by one, and the Jianghu people who entered the plum garden were all here, no one escaped, no one was spared, and all of them died in battle.

The price paid by the group that killed them was enormous, most of the corpses in the park were faces they had never seen before, they were all infiltrated assassins, and they died heavily.

Corpses, either missing arms and legs, or in a miserable state, were placed in the courtyard one by one. When it was determined that death was covered, it was covered with a white cloth, and it was especially tragic in a row.

"There's still a living one here."

In the flower bed near the courtyard where the Yannan Sixteen Horsemen fought, the servant found a seriously injured and unconscious person, who looked pretending to be one of the Yannan Sixteen Horsemen.

"Tell me about the Lotus Garden."

Yannan Sixteen Cavalry, the other fifteen have all been recognized as dead, except for Dong Zhongqiu, who was protected by Chongyang, the only survivor of Meiyuan is this seriously injured person. This is a lucky man, seriously injured, after spending the night outdoors in the bitter cold, he can still survive, the tenacity of his vitality, and luck accounts for most of it.

The place where he fell was sheltered from the wind, otherwise the cold wind of the night would have frozen him to death.

Mo Jian, Mo Qi, and Lu Gaojie are not considered survivors, they were excluded from this bloody battle because of Chongyang in the first place. At this time, the three of them were drinking tea and were shocked, and they were all stupid, after all, they were just three young people who had not experienced much wind and waves.

The sky was slightly bright, no matter what happened yesterday, Chongyang woke up on time.

The purpose is the face of the Dragon Boat Festival.

I don't know when this kid climbed into bed, he wasn't there before Chongyang fell asleep.

With his eyes off, Chongyang noticed two swords pressed on the pillow between the two.

One is Chongyang's short sword, and the other is a sword thinner than ordinary swords.

"Bai Lu and Pu Jia, the two husband and wife swords, will actually reunite at this time, it can be described as fate." Dragon Boat Festival opened his eyes and looked at Chongyang with a smile, "Morning, did you sleep well last night?" ”

"Husband and wife sword?" Chongyang's voice was a little hoarse.

Dragon Boat Festival raised his head and said with a smile: "You don't know the allusions to Bai Lu and Pu Jia?" As a wielder, you can't do this, the sword will cry. ”

Dragon Boat cleared his throat and explained: "Legend has it that once there was a woman named Bai Lu who fell in love with a concubine in a rival family, and married despite opposition, who thought that everything was a conspiracy, and the family was wiped out because of her innocence. She escaped from her husband's house and wanted to avenge her family, but she found out that she was pregnant. With the child as the priority, she gave birth to the child with resentment towards her husband's family, and carefully and hard to protect the child to grow up, but the child unfortunately died young, and Bai Lu went crazy. ”

I don't know how much time passed, the wandering Bai Lu met a young man named Pu Jia, she was taken in by Pu Jia, and the two lived together, the days were plain and sweet. One day, Pu Jia contracted a vicious disease, Bai Lu took care of it day and night, and finally Pu Jia was cured, but Bai Lu died of fatigue. Pu Jia is a swordsmith, and in order to remember Bai Lu, he forged this Bai Lu sword. ”

"Bai Lu is a sword forged for women, and the sword shape is suitable for petite women. Bai Lu's sword is very angry, because Bai Lu has a deep hatred, but Bai Lu is a mother, extremely protective of her children, and the user is her son, so she is extremely protective of the lord and is a good sword. ”

"Let's talk about Pu Jia, who has never married since Bai Lu, and his disciples respect him and admire him. After Pu Jia's death, his disciples buried him and Bai Lu together, and cast this Pu Jia sword, which became a pair with Bai Lu's sword. ”

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming carefully.

Chongyang was looking at Pu Jia, and he was named Pu Jia not only because of the swordsmith named Pu Jia, but also because the slender sword body was very similar to Pu Jia.

Listening quietly, after a long silence, Chongyang said, "The version I heard is a little different from yours. ”

"What I know is that Bai Lu mistook Pujia for a son, and took care of Pujia for many years, which made Pujia very touched as an orphan. After Bai Lu died of illness, this Bai Lu sword was cast for her to commemorate her. The Pujia sword is a sword cast by the disciples of Pujia to pay tribute to the master, and the two swords are not much related, if you insist on saying that there is a relationship, it is more appropriate to say that it is a mother-son sword. Bai Lu is the mother, Pu Jia is the son, the husband and wife sword you are talking about, just because the sentence 'Pu Jia is pale, Bai Lu is frost' is related, not a legend genuine. ”

Dragon Boat Festival squinted his eyes and said unhappily: "Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that this is a couple of swords, and you heard that version from which mediocre talent, it's just nonsense." ”

Chongyang raised his eyes and glanced at the Dragon Boat Festival, raised his foot and put it on his abdomen, and was suddenly attacked, the Dragon Boat Festival was defenseless, and Chongyang kicked him directly out of bed.

I could only hear the sound of falling objects, and there was a wail during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Chongyang smiled, "If you don't want to be a son, don't show the sword, since it's shown, don't talk nonsense and be alarmist, the sword will cry." ”

There were several knocks on the door, and Honglian pushed the door in as usual, originally, she thought that Chongyang was still asleep and didn't wake up, and the knock was just out of courtesy, and she didn't expect a response. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the scene of the Dragon Boat Festival getting up from the ground.

"I'm sorry."

Honglian was about to withdraw, and the Dragon Boat Festival coughed lightly: "No need to go out, come in." ”

Honglian really didn't know that the Dragon Boat Festival was here, and she went to Wangmei Tower last night for the Dragon Boat Festival, she thought that he would always be there to pay attention to the movements of the plum garden. Who would have thought that he would appear in the Summer Pavilion early in the morning.

Honglian thought of something and said, "Master, the little maid replied that there is one in the plum garden who is still alive, I don't know what to do with it?" ”

"Still alive? Who? ”

"One of the sixteen horsemen of Yannan."

It was also at this time that a little servant came in a hurry, and shouted out a little panting outside the door: "Master Wu, there is news coming." ”

The seriousness on the face of the Dragon Boat Festival passed away, got up and patted the wrinkled clothes that were asleep, and said with a smile: "Go for your husband to have something to do, the little lady stays here, don't run around this time!" ”

The Dragon Boat Festival followed the little girl away, Chongyang looked at the red lotus and asked, "How is the plum garden?" ”

That tone was like the tone of the housewife, and the red lotus lowered her eyebrows and said: "Except for the four people who are outside the matter, one person survives, and the rest have no living mouth." ”

"The four people who are outside the matter, which four?"

"Mu Zhanru of Tianji Tower, two ink swords and ink chess in the Seven Inks of the Southern Courtyard, and Lu Gaojie of the Good Pharmacy."

Chongyang was surprised, and asked again: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Last night when Madame went to sleep, the old man was afraid of waking Madame, so he didn't let the slaves and maids clean up the room. This room is messy, and the lady wakes up and sees that it is not good, and the slave maid is here to clean up the room. ”

The blood-stained cloth on the ground, the blood on the basin is still there, the bottles and cans on the table, and the blood-stained needles and threads, which are very messy.

Last night, Chongyang finally fell asleep, the wound was so painful, and it was impossible to sleep deeply, so the Dragon Boat Festival directly let people go down. Now that Honglian is here, she is in charge of the affairs and comes to clean it up in person, and her attitude is very cautious.

"You're busy." Chongyang said and got up.

As soon as she moved, Honglian became nervous, and Chongyang explained, "I'll go see the one in the bathroom." ”

Only then did Chongyang realize that her clothes had not changed, and they were still the same clothes last night.

Honglian hurriedly took out clean clothes from the closet.
