When it was getting late, Jiang Ying's spirit began to become weak.

She thought about it, Han Chengji arrested her for only one reason, it must be to borrow her to threaten Brother Jin.

Now the competition between Jin and Han is in full swing.

Besides, she really couldn't think of any other use value for herself, which was enough for Han Chengji to put aside the war in Liangzhou and bring her back to Suzhou in person.

I probably want to use her to plot a great conspiracy, right?

The more Jiang Ying thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she became more and more worried about Jinqi.

Between her and Jin Qi, they know each other too well.

She was very sure that her eldest brother Jin would be willing to agree to any condition for her.

Especially when her current body can't delay at all-

But she can't hear any news here, let alone what the situation is outside, whether Han Chengji has used her to blackmail Brother Jin into doing something, or whether Brother Jin knows that she is now in Suzhou, what plans she has now, etc., she has no way of knowing.

She also knew that it would be difficult to escape from here on her own.

What's more, her body doesn't allow her to do so even more.

After thinking about it, the only countermeasure now is to protect her body first, and only by staying alive can she have the next step.

If she can't wait for the day she leaves here, I'm afraid she will hang up first.

This is the saddest ending......

This thing didn't know the deadline for his estimate, so after Qingyang delivered the meal. I didn't lose my temper at all, but honestly ate everything.

Qing Yang was a little dumbfounded when he watched from the sidelines.

I really didn't expect Jiang Ying, who had not said a word all afternoon, to be so cooperative.

But when she suddenly thought that in the Pear Garden, this little girl was such an optimistic appearance that no matter what happened, she would not lose her appetite, and she couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips to show a smile.

It's just that this smile is full of bitterness.

Qingyang suddenly understood.

She had always thought that only similar people could get close to each other, so she never understood what Childe's growing obsession was for. But now she can see clearly that the more extreme people are, the easier it is to be attracted to people and things that are completely different from herself.

It's like standing in a cold dark corner all the time, so you will be more eager for the temperature of the sun.

After all, no one really likes to live in the dark forever, even if he has too many last resorts.

People always have delusions.

The more out of reach. The closer she wanted to go—hadn't she always known it herself? How can we really see it now?

Qingyang glanced at the fading darkness outside the window with sad eyes, and when he retracted his gaze to look at Jiang Ying, he had already covered all kinds of emotions.

"Sakura, come with me to a place." She whispered.

Jiang Ying, who was sitting at the table, looked up at her when she heard this.

Because of suspicion. Therefore he did not speak.

Someone who used to be quite good together. Now we are reunited in this form. This made her heart very complicated, but there was no room for wavering.

Qing Yang smiled at her and said, "Don't you really want to know what all this is all about." You'll know when you get there. ”

Jiang Ying was suspicious of her words, but now her situation forced her to cooperate.

So she nodded.

Seeing this, Qingyang turned around and went to the inner room, and when he came out again, he had an extra bamboo bone oil paper umbrella in his hand, and a dark green embroidered white orchid cloak.

She came up to Jiang Ying and tied her cloak for her.

"The wind and snow outside have not stopped, so as not to catch the cold." Qingyang said softly.

Jiang Ying was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but remember that a few years ago, when she asked Liyuan, Qingyang was as gentle and caring as she is now, taking care of her everywhere.

She subconsciously wanted to say thank you to Qingyang, but in this situation, when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't confide it.

"Let's go—" Qing Yang looked at her with a smile.

Jiang Ying nodded and didn't say much.

Sure enough, it was still snowing outside, and it was much bigger than in the daytime.

Qingyang held the umbrella, and Jiang Ying followed her footsteps under the umbrella, her shoes stepping on the soft snow, making a slight noise.

In Jiang Ying's impression, Suzhou City is close to the south, and although there is occasional snowfall, it has never been so big.

"Suzhou City, there has not been such a heavy snow for more than ten years." Qingyang seemed to have the same feeling, raised his head slightly and looked at the silver-white and flawless side of the world in front of him, and recalled in a low voice: "I vaguely remember that when I was very young, there was such a heavy snowfall. It's just that it was in the wax moon, when it was nearly Chinese New Year's Eve......"

It was also the first time she had seen her son from afar since she was a child in the Han Mansion.

At that time, the son was a very kind and laughing child.

It's just that later Mrs. and Miss Wenli passed away one after another, and the young master lost the ability to walk, and was sick and almost died.

Qing Yang's thoughts gradually drifted away, Jiang Ying didn't open her mouth along the way, and she didn't know where Qing Yang was going to take her.

It wasn't until I left the courtyard that my vision suddenly opened up.

Not far in front of this courtyard is a vast lake that cannot be seen, surrounded by green mountains on all sides, but at this time, it is all white. Only the green and secluded lakeside in front of him is like a piece of jade and jade with high-quality and transparent color inlaid in it.

At this time, it was past the unitary hour, but the four were reflected by the vast snow, like the dawn of the early morning.

After leaving the courtyard, Jiang Ying followed Qingyang along a path all the way to the west.

Less than a hundred paces, there was a Merlin in front of him.

The plum trees were pressed with heavy snow rime, and occasionally one or two bright red plum blossoms poked their heads out in the silver light, cold and enchanting.

Not far from the front of an open place, there is a heavy eaves pavilion. There are several long paper lamps hanging in the corner of the pavilion, and thick snow has fallen on the top of the pavilion, but behind the pavilion is a still lake green. If you look closely, it turns out that it is the lake that is connected to it behind Merlin.

And the person who was making tea in the pavilion, if he didn't take a closer look, he knew that it must be Han Chengji.

It's just that at this time he was sitting there alone, and there was no one waiting for him.

Qingyang stopped outside the pavilion, and when he saw Jiang Ying stepping into the pavilion and sitting down, he slowly retreated.

Jiang Ying thought that he was going to negotiate the conditions with him openly and honestly, but he opened his mouth and said, "You don't have to have any thoughts. He had already learned that you were in Suzhou. But he didn't come to save you - do you know why? ”

Jiang Ying's chest jumped when she heard this.

"Because he is under siege on all sides, he has no time to come to you. This is enough to prove that in his mind, the world is far more important than you. Han Chengji poured a bowl of hot tea and slowly pushed it in front of Jiang Ying on the tea tray. The tone is calm, as if chatting.

Jiang Ying, who was originally a little nervous when she heard the first half of the sentence. After listening to his words. But he was suddenly relieved.

She wouldn't believe it.

She won't compare herself to the world, but she believes in Jinqi.

She trusted that no matter what he did, she would not have any doubts. It will only be regarded as if he has other proper arrangements.

It was she who said to Han Chengji in turn: "In this way, Han Tingshi went to such great lengths to catch me, but in the end I had no use value, didn't Han Tingshi suffer a big loss?" ”

Before this, Han Chengji had never seen her like this.

Not only calm, but even sanity.

Or the result of the temptation was far beyond his imagination, Han Chengji couldn't help but shake his head and laugh slightly.

He picked up the exquisite tea bowl in one hand, looked down at the mist of tea, and said softly: "Do you really think that I brought you here to use you as a bargaining chip to fight him for the world?"

What if not?

Jiang Ying looked at him and frowned slightly.

I don't blame her for being stupid, I can only say that the thoughts of the people in front of her are really hard to fathom.

Jiang Ying subconsciously wanted to think deeply, but her brain was getting slower and slower.

His head began to sink as well.

"I'm not like him, and this world doesn't mean anything to me." Han Chengji looked at her, although his tone was light, but he was faintly unwilling: "But I'm not as smart as him, I didn't know what I really wanted until too late - how can you say that everything in this world is so changeable, and it is like seeing flowers in the fog, it is always impossible for people to guard against it, and if you don't pay attention to what you miss, you can never get it back." ”

Jiang Ying felt that she couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

She could only secretly grasp her hands in her sleeves in order to keep herself awake.

……

When the gate of Suzhou City was about to close, a group of about ten people and a carriage galloped out of the city, raising snow and mist.

After traveling about three or five miles, the leader suddenly reined in his horse and turned his horse's head, and forced the carriage that was following him to stop.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, almost making it impossible to open his eyes, and he was covered in snow, but he didn't even have time to shake it off.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted by the coachman, and he sat on his horse and looked at the people in the carriage with a pair of sword eyebrows whitened by snow.

Zhixu, who was dressed in a shabby Taoist robe and sat cross-legged in the carriage staring closely at the hexagram plate in front of him, his face was also very ugly at this time.

"......" He muttered in a low voice for a while that others couldn't understand at all, and then raised his head to look at the young man who seemed to have become a snowman, sighed heavily, and said: "You can't watch the stars on a snowy night, you can only confirm the general direction by the hexagram disk, and the weaker the sense of stars on this girl's body, it is not easy to confirm that she is near Suzhou City." ”

Jin Qi's eyes became a little colder when he heard this, and the hand holding the reins tightly had been worn to the point of oozing blood.

He hurried day and night, and arrived at Suzhou City early two days ago, but after looking in the city for two whole days, he found nothing! And Suzhou is clearly Han Chengji's territory, but he unusually did not set the slightest obstacle for him, everything was a hundred times smoother than he imagined, but even in this case, they still did not find a single clue-

Does this mean that Han Chengji is confident enough that he can't find his hiding place at all?

This speculation is simply driving Jin Qi crazy.

It's fifteen nights tonight, and if he can't find her after a while, he doesn't know what he's going to do!

"Song Yuanju!" Jin Qi shouted.

"Send a message to Prince Ying and ask him to lead troops to arrest the Han family. Strict questioning! It is necessary to get Han Chengji's whereabouts in the shortest possible time, and if there is a resistant, kill the public on the spot! ”

This is obviously not what a smart person should do, and it will even lead to notoriety, but he can't control it so much now!

Song Yuanju didn't hesitate when he heard this, he responded loudly and rushed away.

"Changing souls for lives is a matter of the Great Yin, if you want to add to the killing, it is really a blessing, you people are really in a hurry to know how to solve the problem ......of killing" Zhixu sat in the carriage and sighed repeatedly. A face full of disapproval. But they did not stop it.

Having come to this point, the result is too important, as for the process...... Let it be.

Master, his old man's lifelong wish is still waiting for him to fulfill.

Even if he learns about it, he will scold him heavily. But if he did. Then it's all worth it.

"Go on—" He said, looking at Jin Qi.

Raise a grip on the reins. Turned the horse's head back around.

He was about to hit his horse, but suddenly heard the guard in front of him whisper.

"It seems to be on fire in the south—"

Hearing this, Jin Qi subconsciously turned his head to look over, and saw a red fire faintly in the distance. It was very eye-catching, the flame was only the size of a bean at first glance, but in a few moments, it quickly spread to the size of a fist, and it was still expanding rapidly.

The driver who drove the car had been lying in ambush in the dark line of Suzhou, and was very familiar with the terrain around Suzhou, and said in surprise when he saw this: "There are no houses in that area, how can there be such a big fire in this snowy weather?" It's so weird! ”

Jin Qi didn't know anything at all, and he had to continue to the east as soon as he clamped the horse's belly.

However, he heard Zhixu in the carriage behind him suddenly lose his voice and exclaimed: "Wait! ”

Jin Qi frowned when he heard the sound, grabbed the reins, and looked back again.

But he saw that Zhixu had jumped out of the carriage, fell in the snow nest because of his rapid movements, staggered up, and looked in the direction of the fire with wide eyes.

Seeing that the flames in his line of sight that were constantly spreading to the surroundings were staggered, gradually completely overlapping with the array diagram in his impression, Zhixu's face suddenly turned as white as paper, and an unbelievable fear suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Tianji Array...... Dimensity Array! ”

Someone has laid down the Dimensity Array!

It must be the person in his Qingyun view!

And the Tianji Array that violates the way of heaven has always been a forbidden array that Qingyun Guan has never passed on except for the head of the Qingyun Temple for generations, he had seen it once by chance when he was still young, and he was punished by the master for thinking about it for a whole year - and the people who knew this formation besides him were none other than his senior brother and the current master of Qingyun Temple!

Is he crazy!

"Miss Jiang must be there ......! Stop them! ”

It's just that seeing this situation, I'm afraid it's too late......

……

Jiang Ying's ears were full of wind and scorching heat.

She desperately tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't.

An unprecedented sense of fear enveloped her, and soon, this fear turned into unbearable pain in all parts of her body, and she seemed to feel every bone in her body being crushed, and she almost suffocated in pain.

Is she going to die?

She's going to die.

She was a cowardly person, and before that she had wept with fear of imagining what would happen to her when she died, because she was afraid that those who loved her would be more sad than she was when she went.

What's more, they didn't even get to see each other for the last time, and she was originally ready to heal and boldly envisioned the future as the best, but she couldn't even leave a word.

Jiang Ying thought to herself, she could feel that she was soaked in cold sweat.

When the pain subsides slightly, it is replaced by an extremely ethereal floating sensation.

The body gradually became lighter like a feather, rising with the wind, uncontrollable.

But the thoughts are not becoming more and more scattered as imagined, but are gradually returning to clarity, and the mixed pictures in my mind are gradually falling, and gradually becoming clearer.

"How Merlin is on fire! What about the master? ”

A frightened young man's voice approached in the distance.

Jiang Ying opened her eyes suddenly.

The empty sky was a red fiery red!

She sat up in shock, only to find herself on a circular platform surrounded by stone steps, like an altar!

The burning sensation on the face progresses with the wind. When I turned my head to look, I saw that the fire in the plum forest was fierce, and the plum trees were entangled in the fire, and the "popping" sound seemed to be screaming, and the snow melted quickly with the fire, and the stone pillars inside and outside the plum forest that were originally covered by heavy snow were now revealed as a strange stone statue engraved with vermilion runes!

Jiang Ying was so shocked that she was about to leave the altar, but as soon as she stood up, she heard a very soft voice behind her, shouting, "Ah Ying." ”

She suddenly turned around. saw that it was Qingyang standing on a stone step. He looked up at her on the altar, tears streaming down his eyes.

Jiang Ying was shocked by the sudden everything in front of her, and seeing her look like this, she suddenly forgot the current position of the two. opened his mouth to say: "Sister Qingyang." What's going on? ”

"Where did that come from?" Ah Lu, who was running from afar, exclaimed.

It was a hundred steps away from the altar where Jiang Ying was. There seemed to be another altar of the same kind, and at this time, on the altar, a gray-robed Taoist lit a fire talisman between his fingers, and the other hand waved an extremely sharp peachwood sword with polished edges. Closing his eyes and reciting a word, he suddenly threw the fire talisman into the air, and the peachwood sword slashed heavily in the void, and there was a muffled thunderous sound!

At the same time, a 'crack' suddenly seemed to be torn out in the center of the night sky directly above Merlin!

The fire in the forest suddenly became even stronger!

Jiang Ying saw more clearly around the altar she was in, and instantly rose up a series of ethereal but really visible runes to the naked eye, they kept exchanging their positions as if they were alive, and they made a buzzing sound, gradually forming a complete set of spells-

"Master...... The master is still in Merlin!? ”

Ah Lu suddenly thought of something, glanced at his brother Amo behind him in disbelief, and was about to rush towards Merlin!

"No!" Amo chased after him and grabbed him.

"Big brother, you're crazy!" Ah Lu looked at him with red eyes, and kept struggling: "Didn't you tell me that the master would continue to heal?" Together, you deceive me! You let go of me! ”

The two of them grew up with Han Chengji since they were children, and they were no longer comparable to ordinary masters and servants, and a strong unbearability flashed in Ah Mo's eyes, and when he saw that he could barely control Ah Lu, who had lost his mind, he had to wave his palm to knock him unconscious.

Jiang Ying, who heard their words, was shocked again.

She looked in Merlin's direction in a daze.

"What the hell is this formation......" she asked almost muttering.

"Tianji Array, life for life-"

Qingyang replied word by word.

"Life for life......" Jiang Ying repeated these words silently, and the look of surprise in her eyes became heavier and heavier.

Whose life is exchanged for whose life!

In this situation, there is almost no need to speculate!

But...... Why?!

Why would he risk his own life to save her!

No......

Although she wants to live, she wants to live very much, but she never wants to live under the premise of sacrificing others!

Jiang Ying hurried to rush down the altar.

But when she was about to come into contact with those runes, she was blocked by a powerful barrier, and a loud "buzz" sound bounced her back.

She covered her heart in severe pain, and rushed over again regardless of it, repeatedly, almost more than ten times, as if she was determined to break the wall of the spell alive.

"Bang!"

This time, the counterattack of the talisman array was particularly strong, and Jiang Ying fell heavily on the cold and hard altar, letting out a muffled snort.

At the same time, suddenly one scripture after another drilled into her head, branding, buzzing, mixed and noisy.

Her headache seemed to explode, and her breathing became difficult.

Qingyang looked at her, his lips twitched slightly, but he opened his mouth but was silent.

"Live well."

She turned and descended the stone steps, passing through a wall of charms that had no effect on anyone but Jiang Sakura.

The snow was still falling, but the fire was raging here, and before the snow could fall, it was evaporated in mid-air without a trace.

Jiang Ying watched the snow-blue figure like a weak butterfly, and threw herself into the heavy fire without looking back.

Never regret it.

But what about her?

People are indeed selfish.

was so selfish that even if he gave away his life, he never asked her if she wanted it!

Jiang Ying stared at Merlin, and her eyes seemed to flash the whiteness of the depths of Merlin that was finally engulfed by the flames.

But it wasn't snow......

Before fainting, she seemed to faintly hear the last words he had said to her in the pavilion before-

"The only regret is that I won't be able to play against you again."

He said with a slight smile and a soft sigh.

As light as the breeze, no traces.

And she, in this life, will not be able to forget the Merlin fire tonight.
