Chapter 18: Seduction and Murder
The corridor was empty, and she was about to kick open the door behind her, when suddenly the door opened, and a pair of cold hands stretched out and grabbed her wrists!
There are priorities. She believed that Yeluqi would have preferred her to rescue Xunru. Otherwise, the sacrifice will be in vain.
But she didn't plan to rush to Yeluqi.
Jing Hengbo thought about the light skills of the group of people who appeared later, and none of them seemed to be much worse than Yelu Qi, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
I don't know what happened to Yeluqi and his family, but I can think of a deep resentment, and now that I think about it, Yeluqi used to fight in the Emperor's politics, and the feeling of not doing his best was finally explained.
What kind of third son, it must be some important person, and now the beam is deep.
But at the same time, my heart also picked up - what happened over there must have been done by Yeluqi. He found out that her side was under siege, and he didn't have time to rush to the rescue, so he simply did a deadly thing over there, sucking everyone over.
Jing Hengbo saw the figures rushing there, and let out a long breath, she was safe here.
Almost immediately, the figures immediately rushed towards the place where the screams erupted, and no one came to Jing Hengbo.
The people who rushed towards Jing Hengbo in mid-air looked back, and some people were so shocked that they almost fell.
The voice was terrified and miserable, it seemed that the killing of the third prince was a very terrible thing.
"The third prince has been killed!"
Then a loud scream broke out far away.
The figures flying in mid-air were stunned and turned back in shock.
Immediately, the lights were all extinguished in the bright places, and there was a faint scream, and the sound came far away.
A light flashed in the distance.
Jing Hengbo took a breath and prepared to lose both.
The figures in the house are flashing, and they are all coming here, and the later batch can see that the light skills are higher, and the martial arts are naturally higher.
The cry for help is issued.
She was a little anxious in her heart, she hadn't had a chance to find someone yet, if someone else came, how would she deal with it.
After all, she was entrenched in poisonous injuries, and she didn't dare to overdraw her physical strength too much, so as not to cause poisonous injuries, so she really couldn't go back.
And in order to deter the enemy, she continuously exerted her abilities to the limit, controlling the flower pots in groups, and her physical strength was already exhausted.
Jing Hengbo knew that this was a notice, and the idea was piercing! The next moment it will become a key object of care, and more people will come over.
None of the people who were still alive turned back to fight, and they finally began to flee, and as they fled, they let out a sharp whistle that spread through the whole mansion!
In the end, Jing Hengbo was standing on the corpse to kill people, and he could no longer stand on the ground.
Puff puff blood spurted all over the ground, the ground was slippery and almost impossible to stand, how many people were knocked unconscious, how many people fell, how many people were stabbed to death, it is impossible to calculate.
You can't leave any people from the Yelu family to report for help, there is a military camp nearby!
Earn one more for one!
It doesn't matter whose vest it is, and whether there is a waste of resources or not, whoever cuts more cuts and cuts less. When you see a vest, prick it!
The dagger in her hand was like electricity, facing the human wall, in and out!
At the moment, the crowd is gathering into a wall, dense!
At the moment when the flower pots were smashed, the scenery flashed! Flash out of the crowd.
Take one shot at the top of each person's head!
The slowly floating flower pot suddenly flew into the air quickly, and smashed down on the top of the heads of the crowd that surged over!
"Smack! Bang bang bang! β
The strange thing is that the people did not flee, but at this moment, their hearts were broken, and they all rushed towards Jing Hengbo.
There was a suffocating silence, followed by "Hell! Screams rang out.
In the darkness at the moment, those flower pots are floating in the sky!
Under the eaves of the porch, there was originally a large row of flower pots, planted with a local hardy potted dwarf plum.
Everyone was wondering, considering whether to rush over to besiege, but they didn't want to be the first to rush over and besiege, when suddenly the person with good eyesight exclaimed: "Flower pot! β
A prayer-like gesture.
Before the light and shadow disappeared, everyone only vaguely saw the woman open her arms into the air.
Suddenly, the darkness returned.
Everyone only felt that their eyes were also illuminated, and they couldn't imagine that this dark ghost killing god was such a beautiful woman. It's just that I don't understand why she suddenly put the dagger in her mouth at this moment of dangerous battle.
In the shimmer, the woman's face is delicate, the dagger is held at the corner of her mouth, her eyes are flowing, she seems to be smiling or not smiling, and she can't tell which one is brighter.
In the distance, a lamp was blown by the wind, and a glimmer of light came over, illuminating the transverse waves of the scene in a flash.
Everyone couldn't see her figure, but they all felt the dark fragrance wafting through their noses, and they couldn't help but grasp their weapons in panic.
Jing Hengbo's figure flashed, and suddenly jumped into the circle again!
The person in the outermost circle originally thought that he could be at ease for a while, but he didn't expect this woman to take the person in the outermost circle first, and quietly drilled in under the panic.
It sounds a little ridiculous, but it's not a joke, and people who are there know that fear of the unknown.
One person to round up a group?
These people had planned to use the siege in the dark to deal with the invaders, but they did not expect that at this moment they would become the side that was besieged.
The face-to-face fight is not terrible, but the ghost-like assassination that cannot be guessed is the most fatal.
The cries of terrified fear before they died seemed to echo in their ears, and everyone was furious and heartbroken. Although there were many people, they had the urge to turn around and run away.
The people began to panic, and no one saw what had just happened, only that in an instant, the people in the encirclement went out, and then the outermost two people died. Looking at the way of death, he actually killed himself.
The atmosphere was even more oppressive and tense.
The gore is thicker.
Jing Hengbo rewarded a knife by himself. wiped the blood from the knife with their throats.
The screaming did not stop, and it stopped abruptly.
"This is not a person!" The two suddenly screamed, "This is not a person! It's not human! β
How can there be such a strange way in the world......
How could it be possible to flash out when the blink was too slow?
How can it be?
Looking up at the middle again, where is the figure just now?
Each of them has each other's weapons inserted......
The pain hit, and the two of them stared at their stomachs in disbelief.
The two sounds were fired at the same time, and the blood sprayed together to form a bridge.
"Snort."
It was too fast, so fast that the apparition occurred, so fast that her figure remained in place in the pupils of the two men. She was the one who felt the sting.
She flashed.
At the moment when the sword was about to pierce into the middle of the scene.
The two of them who were overjoyed immediately stabbed the sword in their hands fiercely!
Don't miss the opportunity!
There was only the width of the corridor between the two of them, and then there was a person, and suddenly the distance was so close that he could breathe, and as long as he handed out the weapon, he could immediately pierce the belly of the figure!
The light incense figure flashed again, and this time it seemed that something went wrong, and it actually flashed between the two!
The light incense figure suddenly flashed, changed direction, and the two quickly turned around, this time the two became face to face.
The two people in the outermost circle only felt the sound of the wind, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance behind them, and the two people reacted quickly and immediately turned around.
Jing Hengbo flashed, and he was out of the circle!
The closest ones are nervous, and the outermost ones are slightly relaxed.
There was no warning, and all the frightened besiegers immediately retreated, not knowing who would be next.
Her figure flashed suddenly!
"If the enemy does not move, I will not move, and when the enemy moves, I will move first."
There were many people on all sides, all staring at her vigilantly, gradually narrowing the encirclement.
It dawned on her that maybe she was also fit to kill. The violence in her body is awakened, and she likes to wander in the sea of blood.
The blood is boiling, but the heart is extremely quiet, like a volcano buried under the ice and snow, and the next moment it bursts into the sky.
This was her first celibate battle, and even the first time she had killed someone, but she didn't have a trace of nervousness or fear, and even her blood was already boiling.
Jing Hengbo closed his eyes at the moment.
The true grandmaster demeanor of everyone is awe-inspiring.
Everyone can discern that it is not pretending to be calm, but truly unmoved. From her demeanor to her breathing to her heartbeat, she didn't have any fluctuations.
And now the woman stood still in the darkness, unmoving.
Killing three people in a row in a moment is a strange method, a ruthless attack, and even the person who was killed did not understand how he died.
There were some floating lights flickering in the darkness, with a surprising brilliance, gradually approaching. The sound of breathing on all sides gradually became clear, with depression and tension.
Bloody gas had no effect on her - when a person once dissected a hundred rabbits and roe deer a day and skinned them on a mountain of flesh, then it was like that.
The ground was sticky and greasy, the blood in the air was disgustingly thick, and she lowered her eyes and let her mind go. The dagger droops and stands still.
Jing Hengbo wiped the dagger back, quietly cut the throat of the person on his body again, rolled over with a while, and got up.
There was one less flower pot under the eaves, and now it was stained with blood, and the bones were rolling aside.
Immediately, a sharp pain, accompanied by a thick liquid, flowed from the top of his head, and the man was stupid enough to figure out that it was not a watermelon that cracked, but his skull.
Like a watermelon crack.
The man was about to shout for joy when he slashed the knife in his hand at her neck. Suddenly, I heard a sound above my head, "Bang." "Crunch.
With a thud, the man fell on top of her.
But the man behind him had already been pressed down, and it was too late to teleport.
The sword wind howled overhead, and the sword light on the left side swung past her back, and if she didn't fall, the sword would have sliced open her belly.
Blood poured on her neckline.
She did not give up the dagger, but fell down, and was pressing on the dead man, so she pulled the dagger out of her hand and turned her head away.
At this moment, she wanted to give up the dagger and dodge, but she lost the most powerful weapon, this personal knife, thin and sharp, cutting bones like cutting vegetables, it is difficult to have a second in the world.
More than one! A sword on the left side struck like a poisonous snake!
fell too fast, Jing Hengbo's dagger was stuck in the crack of the bone before it could be pulled out, and his body was involuntarily taken down. Suddenly, the wind behind him sounded, and a third person pounced.
The man didn't even let out a scream, and fell with a thud.
In the next moment, her dagger plunged into the back of the man's neck, piercing through the neck, diagonally three points, and piercing the bone fragment of the cervical vertebrae with precision, severing the throat.
Flashing brighter than a ghost, hidden than lightning, a black shadow that leaps in the eyes of men, and its direction is unpredictable.
Flashing all the time.
But she's flashing.
There was another wind behind her, aiming at her heart, very close and fast, it seemed that the other party had been lurking for a long time, just waiting for her to make the most lax move.
The other party didn't move, this time he was really dead.
After a flash, he approached again, and he stabbed again.
I can't shake it off, and the memory that goes deep into the blood and bone marrow.
"You have the ability to teleport like no other in the world, so don't waste your talent. In battles, a brilliant body can make you invincible. Never check the opponent's injuries after a single blow, you should dodge first so that others can't catch your tracks. Even if you miss a hit, you have a next time, a next time. If someone pretends to be dead and gives you a knife, there will be no next time. β
The man's voice echoed in his ears.
She withdrew her hand and dodged as soon as she struck, never stopping to see her results.
"Pressure like this, yes, go down and flatten the meridian blood mouth, and the blood will not splash."
It seems simple, but it is the essence condensed by countless actual battles.
The man fell down heavily, no blood splattered, and she pressed it one last time, preventing the blood from spurting wildly, so that her eyes would not be glued to the blood and affect her shot.
has practiced countless times, and used familiar techniques, so that in the subsequent battle, no matter how she resisted, she would subconsciously use the killing techniques.
Press again when pulling it back.
The dagger in his hand, a silent stab, a pick.
There was a muffled snort, and the smell of blood filled the air. The man stumbled, and Jing Hengbo had changed direction in a flash, clinging to him.
Her figure disappeared in a flash, and in the next moment, a flower pot under the corridor flew sideways, slamming into the ground.
"Huh." The wind was chilling, piercing her in the back of the head, and the sound of a sharp weapon was sharp.
The moment she landed, this thought was immediately confirmed by a sound of wind.
When she swept past, she had a strange feeling in her heart - the lights were on everywhere, and it was dark here, what did it mean? Indicate where the hostages are?
She felt like her abilities had improved lately, and she wanted to know where the limits were.
Fei Fei jumped away lightly. Jing Hengbo took a breath. It's not that she cares much about Yeluqi, but hopes that tonight, she can really test her actual combat ability.
"Feifei." She thought for a moment and said to the little monster on her shoulder, "Yeluqi's side may be more dangerous, you go and help." β
Not far ahead, there is a small dark courtyard.
The house seemed to be heavily guarded, almost brightly lit, and in this way, it helped her determine the location of Yelu Xunruβthe blind man did not need a light.
The next moment she appeared at the northwest of the white light.
Jing Hengbo's figure flashed and disappeared into the wind and snow.
Fei Fei winked at her slowly, forever dumbfounded.
"Little monsters." She whispered to Fei Fei, "He dares to trust me, do I dare to trust him?" β
Jing Hengbo looked at the back of his long hair flying in the snowflakes, and suddenly felt that this person was good and good, and evil was natural, and he had the courage to bear and accept whatever he said and did, and he really had an indescribable grace.
After he finished speaking, he smiled to himself, took off his big coat and threw it on the ground, wearing only a tight black dress, waving his sleeves at her, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
"No matter how important my sister's life is, I don't want to trade your life for it." He said, "Hengbo, it was true that I hurt you at the beginning, and now it's true that I don't want you to have anything." In any case, when your life is in danger, remember to leave no one alone. You said you want to love only yourself, then, remember to do it. β
Jing Hengbo's eyes widened in shock, he never thought that he would say this, this is Yeluqi's only relative, and it can be seen that he has a deep affection for his sister.
He stared at her smile in the snowstorm, and said with a little difficulty: "What if...... If you encounter danger, you really can't save your sister. You...... Leave her behind! β
"Huh?"
"Transverse waves." He stopped her suddenly.
"No problem." Jing Hengbo turned around happily and left.
"The white light is in the southwest direction, and the southwest direction must be a heavy place, and no one is allowed to enter." Yelu Qi said, "My sister may be elsewhere in the house, I will go to the southwest to solve them, save people, Hengbo, please." β
Jing Hengbo thought so. In the past, she liked white, but now she hates it, and she used to like snow, and now she wants to kill when she sees snow.
"Dangerous." He said, "My sister has hated white since she was a child. This has something to do with the early death of our parents. After that, she didn't use anything white, she said that the color was too clean and could be applied to any color, so it looked very unclean. To her, white meant ominous and dangerous. β
"Huh?"
"Don't worry," he said, "there's another meaning to the white light. β
It doesn't matter, the flow of time can wash everything hard.
Yeluqi smiled slightly, her eyes calmβshe shrunk like a turtle again.
"Nope." He turned his head to look at her, a smile on his lips, "I really want to share everything past, present, and future with you." Jing Hengbo smiled and said, "Ah, let's go and save people." β
Jing Hengbo was silent and said, "I'm sorry." β
"Ten years ago, on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, my sister lost her sight." Yeluqi's voice was low.
"What does the white light mean this time?"
"I haven't used such a password before, if the code between me and my sister is fixed, it will be easy for the Yelu family to find out, so our code is different every time, but it must be something that the two of us know in our hearts."
"Huh?"
"It's not."
"Where?" Jing Hengbo immediately asked, "Is this your code?" β
Yeluqi breathed a long sigh of relief.
The lamp was supposed to be a Kong Ming lantern, but for some reason it couldn't be released and got stuck in the tree.
The lamp is white, the light is slightly yellow, this year's festival, the city is full of red lights and festive, this white light is particularly conspicuous.
In the blurred wind and snow, there seems to be a blurry lamp.
Yeluqi suddenly looked up.
After a while, when he arrived at Huayan Street, Jing Hengbo was dumbfounded when he saw the street - they were all large buildings with rows of houses and a vast area, and the whole street was very long and magnificent, with dozens of households.
There is no time to hesitate when it comes to rushing for time.
Increased difficulty. But no one hesitated.
Wake up a soldier and ask the area with the above conditions, it should be near Huayan Street, which is an official quarter, close to Bei Xin Mansion. Nearby, the local defenders of the Golden Clan, the Golden Scale Army, are stationed.
"Bingo!" Jing Hengbo clapped his hands. With such a range, it is much easier to find.
"The people of the house of Jerod have a habit." Yelu Qi said, "They like luxury, they like pomp, they like to make friends with the government, and they try to live in a place where there are soldiers nearby. I don't like the city. So slums, suburbs, around markets, don't think about it at all. β
How to find people in a huge city?
"My sister didn't leave a mark." He sighed, "In the past, she would try her best to leave marks in places like the city gates, but now it seems that there are a lot of people in the family this time, and she has no chance at all." β
Yelu Qi didn't answer Jing Hengbo's words, he quickly searched around the base of the city wall first, and his eyes were disappointed when he got up.
In two hours, it was difficult to find people in this small city. Not to mention killing people and saving people.
Tonight we must kill all the people of the Yelu family in Beixin City. Rescue the inquiry, block the message. And now it is less than two hours before dawn.
Previously, he did not accept the threat, blatantly killed people, and prevented those people from releasing information. Then, according to those people, if he didn't return overnight, his sister would be killed. So if you want to save people, you can only do it tonight.
When Yelu Qi is no longer a national teacher and has not rescued the detained children of the Yelu family in Beijing, perhaps he is an outcast, and only martial arts can be used and scrutinized.
Jing Hengbo only now knows that Yeluqi has a bad relationship with the family, and he has tried his best for the family for many years, just because the family has been restraining his blind sister. Now that he has lost the position of national teacher, the so-called imperial picture silk book does not dedicate to the family, and does not return to the base camp of Yuguo, but accompanies Jing Hengbo, which causes dissatisfaction in the family. took advantage of the opportunity to cooperate with the Ministry of Gold, and brought Yeluqi's sister, wanting to take her hostage and order Yeluqi again, killing Jing Hengbo is only one of them, or in the subsequent operation of the Heavenly Gray Valley, there is also the intention of using him as a vanguard.
Tonight's trip to the snow, they want to grab time to kill.
Sensing his staring gaze, she tilted her head slightly and diverted the subject, "What are you going to do?" β
The aroma at the corner of his mouth is still there, it is the warm fragrance on his kerchief.
He gestured gently, Jing Hengbo hadn't reacted yet, the corners of his mouth had been wiped dry, and he vaguely felt his fingers rubbing her skin, slightly cool.
"Who told you to come along?" Yeluqi took out a snow-white handkerchief, wiped her mouth clean, took the rest of the sweet potatoes with her hand, and stuffed them into her arms, "It's too heavy, don't affect your movements." β
She threw two sweet potatoes to Feifei and Yeluqi, and said with a whin: "It's good to work when you're full, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers." β
Yeluqi was going to walk over. Jing Hengbo jumped over, collected all those sweet potatoes, and said with a smile: "I'm starving, it's so fragrant!" While hurrying down to the city, she tore open the skin of a roasted sweet potato, revealing the golden inner pulp inside, and she took a big mouthful, and the corners of her mouth suddenly stained with a patch of yellow.
The two swaggered past the watchtower, the lights in the watchtower were on, the stove was lit, and the aroma of food was still emanating, and a bunch of gatekeepers were still roasting sweet potatoes just now, and now a bunch of people had fallen asleep.
The two men flashed and appeared at the head of the city. The posture is calm under the light, it is Yeluqi and Jing Hengbo.
The two waited in the hidden place under the city, and after a while, under the angry wind lamp at the head of the city, a big fluffy tail poked out and shook slowly.
The thirty-mile journey was reached in an instant, and before the two of them arrived at the city gate, a small purple shadow jumped out in advance and climbed onto the city.
The other was like a jumping note, flickering in the snow. Ghostly.
A figure is like lightning through the sky, and it is a distance of several zhang when it falls together, and the wind brought up by the clothes rolls up the snow flakes and splashes them.
In the black, white and white night, two figures rushed towards Beixin City.
On the night of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, it also snowed lightly. The snowflakes were blown by the wind, sticking to the treetops and roof tiles, and gradually the sky and earth turned white.
Crossing the dangerous city for 3,000 miles at night, flying snow and falling blood with a sword.
β¦β¦
He stared at her, slowly leaning down and reaching out his fingertips.
"Yes......" Her voice was softer and more delicate, with a slight gasp, she raised her foot, and her embroidered shoes gently kicked his calves, "It's on me, do you want to search ......"
"The jade seal is on you?" He said, his voice slower than before.
She smiled in her heart - that piece of ink, really good ink.
I don't know when her neckline has been slightly open, his eyes paused, slowly falling, and she clearly saw a layer of water vapor in his eyes, like mist.
This support stretched out her slender snow-white neck, weak and delicate collarbones, and also supported the curve of her chest, making her waist even more slender and unbearable, and her little face was as clear and beautiful as a half-open water lily.
"On me." She smiled lightly, leaned back, and leaned back on the stool with her hands behind her back, looking up at him.
"How do I know?" He replied lightly.
Her eyelashes drooped slightly, "For so many years, the jade seal has not been used, guess where is the jade seal?" β
He stared at her, not letting go of her eyes.
Her heart sank with a "bang" - the meat is coming! Then he smiled like a flower, "Ah, Yuxi, it's been useless for too long, I almost forgot!" β
"Don't you put on the queen's jade seal?" He seemed to be casually authentic.
"How about taking it to the ministers tomorrow for counseling?" She said.
She blew on the ink, looked up at him on the paper, and he received her gaze and staggered it.
"Okay." His voice was a little steady.
She wrote very seriously and said softly: "...... Is it okay to let her go to the Shen Iron Ministry? When Tie Shizi returns, he may be able to take care of her. β
Ink is good ink, and among these many aromas, it still clearly exudes a unique light fragrance, which is calming to smell. The bottom of my heart is empty.
All you could hear was each other's long, calm breathing, and the rustling of ink on the inkstone. On the contrary, it seems more serene and quiet.
The dormitory is silent, the wind and snow are isolated outside the house, and the smoke of agarwood in the eight-bat copper furnace is curling, and the aroma is very pure. The earth dragon has been burned, and the room is fragrant and warm.
She was secretly annoyed. I took the clear water bowl and added some water to the inkstone sideways.
As soon as Moshi's fingers touched, she shrank and looked at him quietly, but he didn't seem to react. The lowered eyelashes are quiet.
She sneered in her heart, but her face was more gentle, she really sat down and began to study the ink, he took it personally, and said, "I'll come." β
"Whatever you want." He's indispensable. But he casually pointed to the table and said, "Go there and write." β
"Yes." She laughed, "I can't wait to think of changing places for Hengbo." You say I want to do it now. β
She smelled a faint smell of blood, thinking about his face just now, and smiled slightly in her heart.
In that case, let's do it.
She felt a burst of irritability in her heart - sure enough, it was still for Jing Hengbo.
"Since you said that you want to change her place, you must consult in front of the minister."
She was overjoyed and was about to say yes, when she suddenly stopped. Then he smiled and said, "The hearing is meaningless, so it's okay not to listen." β
"Since you've come back, you don't have to be completely shrunk in the deep palace." He suddenly said, "If you are interested in listening to politics, starting tomorrow, you can go to the quiet court to listen to politics." β
This is where their real farewell lies.
Is it because I think of Jing Hengbo?
It's just that she sensitively noticed that his expression was slightly dim the moment he entered the hall.
The two entered the dormitory one after the other, and the door of the temple was immediately closed. She turned to look at him, and saw the man Yushu Qionghua in the deep light and shadow, just like back then.
Gong Yin admits that in order for her to gain a foothold, she must redouble her efforts to please him.
When Gong Yin got off the sedan chair, she actually stood by her sedan chair and made a posture to help her out. Of course, she didn't dare to ask him to help, so she hurriedly lifted the curtain and came out, and when she came out, she noticed the shocked look of the palace people, and her heart was sour and satisfied.
The people on the other side of the dormitory got the news, opened the door early, the lights were bright, and the palace people were waiting at the door, this was the first time she saw her dormitory so popular in so many days after she came back.
When the wind and snow met, things developed like this, she felt that her brain seemed to start to dizzy again, and she felt that something was wrong in her heart, but she couldn't help but follow it.
A moment later, when she rushed to her palace in the warm sedan chair, her heart was still in a trance.
"Prepare a sedan chair."
"You're too thinly dressed." He clapped his hands, and a figure immediately fell outside the hall.
"Okay." She immediately said, "I'll show you the way." β
He stared at her, as if waiting for her to answer. She was uneasy in her heart, but she would never let go of this opportunity - if she missed this time, she knew that there would never be a next time.
ecstasy, surprise, restlessness, nervousness...... Her mind was in turmoil, her mouth sobbing, and she didn't know what to say.
For a moment, her hands trembled.
She was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was referring to her dormitory.
He suddenly said, "I still want to go to her dormitory." β
She breathed a sigh of relief in shock, and for a moment she felt only sweat on her back, and after a while, a secret joy rippled up.
He slowed his tone and said softly, "I'm comforted by you like this." β
The laughter shocked her to the point that she lost her voice, and she didn't know whether to be amazed by the beauty or frightened by the laughter.
I didn't expect him to smile at her at this moment.
She had known him for many years and had never seen him smile.
Her surprised eyes reflected his smile blooming in the ice and snow, which was under the bright moon of the snow pool on the top of the mountain, between the light of heaven and earth, an ice lotus that quietly bloomed.
Mingcheng Huo Ran's eyes widened.
After a moment, he smiled slightly.
Such a gaze suffocated her, so much so that for a moment she felt like it was permanent.
He rarely looks directly at others, and even if he looks directly at the other party, he often feels that he must not be looking at himself, but at the emptiness beyond the cloudy sky. Many people wonder if he has seriously watched Jing Hengbo in his life. However, at this moment, Ming Cheng clearly saw his figure in his eyes.
Gong Yin held on to the table and slowly stood up. Watching her.
At this moment, Gong Yin said softly, and she suddenly felt like she was moving a stone to hit her feet.
At that time, she was like a naked sword, without protection or barrier.
This is the most important amulet left by the founding queen to the queens of all generations. The Great Wilderness is so strange and complex that it is very difficult to make any changes. Because of this, she would rather not participate in national politics and be a puppet queen, and try to avoid taking out the queen's jade seal, because she knows that as long as she takes out the jade seal once in front of Gong Yin, it will be impossible to hide it from his eyes no matter how she hides it in the future.
For example, if Gong Yin wants to revise the royal law and allow men to be emperors, even if she agrees, even if all the ministers agree, but this revised decree does not cover the queen's jade seal, it will never be recognized, and the eight ministries of the six countries can use this as an excuse not to recognize the central royal power and directly secede. Even if Gong Yin becomes the emperor, he is also an empty emperor who has not been right, and he may encounter all kinds of rebellion and detachment in the future. The Great Wilderness will be completely divided.
The queen's jade seal, which has always been with her, is hidden in the most secret place. Although this jade seal is useless most of the time, it can come in handy at the most critical time. For example, the deposition of the national teacher, and some edicts that change the laws of the royal family, must have the queen's jade seal.
She was ecstatic, but a little uneasy at the thought of the Queen's order.
"You are the queen, you can give a queen's order for such a thing." He said lightly, "I can just sign the order of the Yuzhao Palace." β
She was stunned for a moment and said softly, "I don't have this power." β
"If you want to change her place, if you are sincere, go and change it yourself."
"Hmm." She bowed her head, and the tears that had been prepared for a long time fell in a flutter.
"Do you regret it?" He asked.
She nodded hurriedly and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, this weather, my body, how could I come here in the middle of the night...... I didn't know I'd meet you here......"
"That's what you think?" He finally spoke. No emotion could be heard in the voice.
She had been standing at the tuyere, the wind was blowing from behind, as if to penetrate her heart, she was shivering with cold, but she did not dare to take a step forward.
She was ecstatic, but she didn't dare to show her liking, she only raised her eyes, and the tears on her eyelashes were not falling, and she knew that her posture was the most pitiful.
Gong Yin slowly turned around.
She whispered earnestly. Grievances, grievances, understanding, tolerance, kindness...... It's all in there. And the voice is low, a word and three sighs, every word is tactful and whirling, enough to touch any iron heart in the world.
ββ¦β¦ I...... I didn't really mean to...... I don't want to hurt her...... I just feel aggrieved and angry...... I had just regained my memory, and my heart was full of grievances...... I feel like she's robbed me of everything...... I wanted to put up with it...... But what she said to me that day when she was drunk irritated me...... I thought, why do I have to admit what I don't have, but what I have is robbed...... I was on the spur of the moment...... After I calmed down, I remembered how good she was to me...... She saved my life anyway...... Even if there are some calculations, nothing is more important than life...... I should have kept her ...... I don't know if she's okay now...... Kuromizuzawa that place...... Either you'd better give her a different place......"
She had some tightness in her chest and gasped for breath, and had to stop and peek at him, and the absence of movement was a good sign.
"I ...... I regret it......" Her tears came as she spoke, and her voice was choked...... I...... I'm too selfish and narrow-minded...... Originally...... I shouldn't have done that to her in the first place...... I regretted it later...... Tonight...... Looking at the snow tonight, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable in my heart, thinking about how good she had been to me, and thinking about the days when the four of us were together...... Before I knew it, I came...... I...... I miss her too......"
Tonight is in the right place at the right time, and perhaps the similar wind and snow that night will make him willing to accept it. Anyway, she wants to give it a try, not close, how can there be a chance?
Deep down, she didn't want to mention Jing Hengbo, but the times were pressing, and since then, her range of action has been limited to the area around the queen's bedroom, and she can't see outsiders or Gongyin. There are thousands of words in the heart, but there is no opportunity to speak them to anyone.
Mingcheng stared at his back, her heart was beating like a drum, she thought about it, thinking that since he appeared here with Jing Hengbo at this moment, there must be a nostalgia in her heart, so if she mentioned Jing Hengbo, maybe she could also exchange him for a little tenderness.
Gong Yin slowly wiped the table.
She could only be more tactful and gentle, and said softly: "I...... I somehow ...... And I came here......"
He came here in the middle of the night...... A bitter hatred welled up in her heart, and she quickly suppressed it, knowing that now was not the time to have an emotional attack.
If it weren't for the slightly cold air in the hall, which made her sense the aura where Gong Yin was, she would have thought that Gong Yin was sleepwalking.
Gong Yin did not move and did not speak.
"Gong ......" She was cowardly at the moment, and immediately changed her words, "National Teacher...... Didn't expect you to be here...... You...... Do you also have long sleepless nights......"
Mingcheng stood at the entrance of the hall, seeing that it was dark and unclear inside, and did not see clearly that the mirror was broken. Gong Yin didn't immediately make a sound to drive her away, and hope ignited in her heart.
He was satisfied.
With a flick of his fingers, the brass mirror shattered. The reflection of Mingcheng in the mirror was immediately distorted and crooked, not human-like.
How can her shadow be reflected in Jing Hengbo's mirror? That would stain Jing Hengbo's mirror, and she wouldn't be happy when she came back.
Gong Yin was silent, looking at the figure in the mirror.
This thought made her forget his warning, and instead of immediately retreating, she only timidly raised her head and looked at him in the mirror.
Is this chance encounter also an opportunity......
She thought it was a ghost for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to scream, but the person's posture was too distinct, and the next moment she knew who it was, and the scream was immediately blocked in her throat, her eyes widened, her hand held the door of the temple, panic and hesitation, and hope gradually appeared in her eyes.
In front of the dresser, someone in a snow-clad position sat straight, staring at her in the mirror, unblinking.
Then freeze.
She stepped in.
Since she came, she went in to get warm, this is also her territory, and the entire Yuzhao Palace is hers, why didn't she dare to enter?
The sound of laughter echoed through the entrance of the temple, sounding particularly empty.
She should be happy, she touched her heart, coughed a few times, and smiled.
Those laughing voices have been buried.
She looked back and saw that the courtyard was empty, the kitchen was dark, there was no smoke, and the snow was silent.
She was a little surprised, her heart was empty, and she couldn't figure out why she had come to this place she didn't want to come to at all. But when I stood at the door of the dormitory, I suddenly remembered the days when Feng Laiqi, the ginseng handed over by Jing Hengbo, the days when I lived in the west chamber of the dormitory, and the four people who met to eat together.
She stumbled all the way, confused and confused, standing at the entrance of the hall at this moment, smoked by the warm earth, only to wake up, and found that she was standing at the door of Jing Hengbo's dormitory.
Ming Cheng stood on the threshold a little dazed.
