Xue Guifei was dressed in plain clothes, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue reverently, closing her eyes, counting the rosary in her hand over and over again, and chanting the Buddha in her mouth.
The battle outside the city gate was extremely fierce, and she could still hear the rumbling cannon fire and hoarse shouts of killing outside the city gate, even though she was living in an outer city.
The battle lasted for a day and two nights.
Xue Guifei also knelt in front of the Buddha statue for a day and two nights.
It wasn't until dawn on the third day that the shouts of slaughter, to which the ears had become accustomed, finally stopped, and at last both the palace and the capital fell into a deathly silence, as if the whole world had fallen into death.
At this time, Xue Guifei finally opened her eyes.
The door of Jingxinzhai was pushed open from the outside, and the palace maid Fangruo walked in quickly, quietly came to her side, and called softly:
"Mother."
Xue Guifei paid homage to the Buddha statue with a solemn face, held Fang Ruo's hand, and slowly stood up. Because she knelt for a day and two nights, her legs were already numb to the point of being unconscious, but she endured it, and she didn't use Fang Ruo to beat her legs, gritted her teeth and adapted for a while, and finally stood on her heels steadily, she looked at Fang Ruo.
Fang Ruo couldn't help but look happy, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were already filled with joy, and she said happily:
"Rest assured, His Royal Highness King Wu is doing well and has made great contributions. When the Blood Yin Sect attacked the city yesterday, in fact, His Royal Highness King Wu was not in the city, His Royal Highness saw through the fact that the Blood Yin Sect seemed to be the main attack on the North City Gate, but in fact, the main forces were all concentrated in the West City Gate, and set up troops to ambush them. Then Hui Sangongzi led 20,000 reinforcements to copy in the back, and attacked back and forth, and the rebel party of the Blood Yin Sect was defeated in the middle of the night yesterday, and he has been purging the remaining party in the second half of the night. Just now, Lord Zhang Jian, who was next to His Royal Highness, came to report in person, saying that the war had subsided, His Highness was fine, please rest assured. He also said that although the gate of the capital will continue to be closed for a while, it will not be too long, and it will be reopened in a few days to restore the previous appearance, please don't worry, rest well, Your Highness knows that you take care of yourself, and your Royal Highness must not worry about your Royal Highness hurting yourself. ”
Although Xue Guifei had a premonition that the war had ended, she was still apprehensive in her heart, and after listening to Fang Ruo's report, she was completely relieved, she breathed a sigh of relief, settled down, suddenly remembered, and asked Fang Ruo a little nervously:
"Wei Xinyan, can there be the whereabouts of Wei Zhangsi of Lingshui Palace?"
Fang Ruo was taken aback by her suddenly tense tone, and her expression became a little uneasy when she heard the words "Wei Zhangsi":
"Hui Niangniang, when the two armies were fighting, I didn't see Wei Zhangsi, and when the Blood Yin Sect rebelled against the party, His Royal Highness interrogated a few people in a row, although he knew that Wei Zhangsi was indeed in the enemy camp at the beginning of the war, but now no one knows the whereabouts of Wei Zhangsi, and His Royal Highness is also inquiring."
The heart that had been put down was lifted again, Xue Guifei was silent for a while, she raised her head, looked at the undawned sky outside the window, and muttered:
"I hope Huixiang can get rid of that scourge and don't let her harm people again."
Her voice was so weak that Fang Ruo didn't hear what she was saying, and she didn't dare to speak, she lowered her eyes and held her breath, just stood obediently and didn't say a word.
……
The coast, shrouded in thick fog, was dark before the sun had risen, the air was filled with a slightly salty and damp air, and the sound of the sea lapping against the shore was unusually loud and harsh in the silence of the night. You can't see the snow-white waves, but you can see the ocean like a black hole that can swallow everything, and it's terrifying and terrifying.
On the sand-strewn beach, the two sides are facing off.
Even if there are less than 100 people on one side, there are 70 or 80 people, but on the other side there are only 3 people, to be exact, one master and two servants. The leader was wearing a black silk satin long skirt with a placket and a stand-up collar, and the skin of her whole body was covered under the colorful satin, her face was covered with black veil, and even her hands were wearing black lambskin gloves.
A man and a woman standing behind her were dressed in black and had outstanding appearances. These are two people who can guess their profession by looking at the aura emanating from their bodies, and the killers are the same, whether it is cold eyes, pale skin, thick calloused palms or those lips without any temperature, they all tell that these two people are the killers who can never be illuminated by the light in the dark night and can only survive by harvesting other people's lives.
Compared with them, the other team that confronted them was much more gorgeous, seventy or eighty Lingshui Palace guards wearing black soft armor and holding heavy swords with a vigorous and murderous posture were all Wei Xinyan's most proud and loyal people to her. Wei Xinyan, who was surrounded by a large number of guards, only wore a purple embroidered double dragon play beads wide-sleeved cross-collar cloud brocade dress, her long hair was chicly pulled, and there was no pendant. It's been more than thirty years, and her appearance is still the same as when she was young, the years have been kind to her, and they have not left too many traces on her skin, she is still as charming and beautiful as she was back then.
Hui Xiang remembered the scene of entering Lingshui Palace for the first time, Wei Xinyan's enchanting appearance surprised her, she had never seen such a charming woman, like the nine-tailed fox demon in the legendary story.
Wei Xinyan has forgotten Hui Xiang's appearance, because she has been covered with black gauze for thirty years, and she has never ignored the appearance that is not as good as her own beauty, but the only thing she remembers is Hui Xiang's eyes, which seem to be no different from now, whether it is the little girl who first entered Lingshui Palace back then, or the woman who has been a mother and has experienced vicissitudes of life, her eyes seem to have never changed, they will always be like ancient well water, cold and deep, so that when people touch her gaze, there will be an illusion that the heart is frozen by dripping water. From the very beginning, Wei Xinyan hated her very much.
Behind and to the right were mountains that no one could climb, and on the left was a coast covered with reefs, and Wei Xinyan was forced into a corner.
"Huixiang, you are really obsessed with this seat!" Wei Xinyan stared at Hui Xiang viciously and said through gritted teeth.
Huixiang stood quietly, not in a hurry, not impatient, she looked at Wei Xinyan, rarely, the corners of her lips were hooked under the veil, although it was under the veil, but Wei Xinyan could clearly hear from her tone that she was smiling at the moment.
"Wei Xinyan, do you remember here?" She asked softly.
Of course, Wei Xinyan remembers this, thirty years ago today, it was also a dark night when she couldn't see her fingers. She raised her head, glanced at the steep mountain peak behind her, turned her head to look at Hui Xiang, and smiled coldly:
"Revenge? It's up to you? Three people? ”
The tone was full of mockery and contempt.
"Three?" Hui Xiang chuckled lowly.
Wei Xinyan looked at her with a condensed face.
Just as Hui Xiang's words fell, the formation of the guards around Wei Xinyan suddenly changed, and all this happened so quickly that people were caught off guard and even a little dazzled. Half of the black-clothed people suddenly turned against each other, and quickly retreated to the position between Hui Xiang and Wei Xinyan, the sharp tips of their swords were aimed at Wei Xinyan in unison, reflecting a terrifying silver light in the dark night!
