His wish is simple, he just wants to live.

Dark red blood, soaked his eyes countless times. He swung the blade in his hand almost mechanically, sending up a mist of blood with each slash, but he couldn't tell if it was his or someone else's.

For a long, long time, until the whole body collapsed and weakened, a flash of knife light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes. An arm clenched at the blade rose into the sky, and at the same time, a piercing pain came.

He bowed his head in surprise, and a snow-white palm as hard as iron pierced into his chest! The ice-like coldness penetrated deep into his heart! The next second, the palm that seemed to be familiar to him had already crushed his heart!

Tianlan suddenly opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a huge white veil ball. He realized that this was his home, his room. The inner chamber was a large and somewhat empty room, and a large soft bed with a flower-shaped white veil loosely tied to the head of the bed. The decoration of the whole room is simple and elegant, without a trace of superfluous clutter.

He was seventeen years old, with long flowing black hair and clear eyebrows, and was handsome. His pupils were black, bottomless pitch black, as deep as stars, and when they met his eyes, it seemed that they would swallow his soul into them.

I could faintly feel that he had a unique aristocratic temperament, but unfortunately his face was too pale, as fragile as a blank piece of paper, his chest was slightly undulating, and his lips were a little pale.

"Dream ...... ...... he muttered to himself, his arm pressed against his forehead and covered his eyes, as if to calm his mind with such words.

When he calmed down, he found that his whole body was wet with sweat, his body was extremely tired, and his face was terrifyingly pale, as if he had really experienced a death, at least the despair lingered in his heart.

He looked out the window in a blink of an eye, and there were begonia trees outside the house, with small pink and white flowers hanging on the branches. The warm wind blew, and the petals were like snowflakes, whirling and whirling in the wind, and they never stopped. If you say that it is a paradise, it is probably nothing more than such a scene! The four seasons are like spring, the flowers and trees are opposite, there are birds and flowers, trickling, and the beauty is not like the world.

With such a small backyard and such a beautiful view, you can imagine how magnificent the whole mansion should be!

Suddenly, there were several knocks outside the door, and then soon after, the door was slowly pushed open, and the first to enter was a young man, about double ten, wearing a silver soft armor, with a heroic face.

Behind him was a delicately dressed girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a sad face, but still did not hide her beauty, short brown hair, fair skin like dew and delicate, fingers not as delicate as everyone's ladies, slightly rough, holding the tea steadily, and the faint fragrance of tea permeated the whole room.

After the young man walked into the house, he carefully put away the momentum on his body, and his face stiffened and wanted to show a smile, but he still couldn't hide the thick melancholy in his eyes, as if something troubled had been bothering him, making him unconsciously show such a look.

He walked quickly to the side of the bed and said softly, "Xiaolan, why is your complexion so bad?"

Tianlan cheered up and smiled: "It's okay, I accidentally fell asleep just now." ”

The girl put the tea on the table, turned around, and stood aside. She hadn't taken her eyes off him since she entered the house, as if she had a thousand words to say to him, but she didn't transgress the rules, and waited quietly for the young man to speak.

The young man said worriedly: "Your current situation is getting worse and worse, do you want Senior Cang to come over?"

Tianlan replied, "No, Master, she...... It's useless, I understand my situation very well. ”

The young man sighed, as if he regretted that he could not protect him, and said sadly: "You can rest well, and if you have something, someone will call me again." The man got up and left, walked to the door, looked back uneasily, and then walked out helplessly.

There was silence in the room. After a long time, the girl walked lightly to the bed, her beautiful eyes were full of tenderness, and said, "Are you better?"

He didn't answer her, opened his eyes, quietly looked at the top of the curtain, was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Xiaotang, how many years have you been by my side?"

The girl known as Xiaotang bowed down and said, "Xiaotang has been by your side since you were seven years old, and now it has been almost ten years. ”

He closed his eyes quietly and muttered, "Ten years...... So I haven't left this home in 10 years...... Xiaotang, you say, isn't the outside world beautiful?"

Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, she knew what he meant. has been together for ten years, even if he doesn't say it, Xiaotang can know his thoughts very accurately, and Xiaotang will never and never want to disobey him.

She said gently: "Young Master, Xiaotang doesn't know. Xiaotang's world only has the young master and the begonia flowers in front of the house...... But if you want to go, go for it. As long as it is what you want to do, Xiaotang will not let anyone stop you. ”

"Xiaotang ......"

"It's just," Xiao Tang held Tianlan's slender hand and said resolutely: "Although Xiao Tang is just a maid, Xiao Tang can still protect you...... Please don't shirk, this is Xiaotang's responsibility, and at the same time, it is also ...... My heart's desire. ”

That night, the moonlight was thick, the breeze was blowing, and a few begonia petals fell with the wind, piled on the ground, paved into a zigzag flower path.

In the quiet night, two figures quietly climbed over the wall, accompanied by a few begonia petals falling down, leaving no trace.

Under the eaves, the young man in silver armor sighed lightly, casually held the small wine glass next to him, wanted to drink and stopped, and a faint shock came to his heart. Looking at the empty wall, he said to himself, "...... Do you really want to go out into the world so much? On the other side of the wall, how much killing and bloody ...... are hidden?"

---------------------------

Lingxiao City, a remote city in the southern part of the Blue Dragon Empire.

Today is an ordinary day, the sun is shining, the wind is beautiful, but it is not destined to be calm, because Lingxiao City ushered in a pair of young men and women. They wore white hats, and the white veil that hung down covered their faces, making it difficult to see their faces. But it was easy to identify the gender of the two men by their body shape and voice.

The man was dressed in a flawless white garment, a common style, but there was an indescribable smell on him. The whole person looks otherworldly, and there is an inviolable nobility.

The woman had a good figure, her voice was like a yellow bird, and her every move was clear and bright. She is wearing a pale yellow dress, a pair of slender snow-white long legs are full of beauty, and the whole person looks like a blooming rose, which is enough to make countless people crazy.

These two people are Tianlan and Xiaotang, who are inseparable from him, and the two of them walk side by side, sometimes talking and laughing in a low voice, happy and natural.

There were many people entering the city, and the long line could be seen from afar. They were not in a hurry, and waited in line for the city guards to check. When they reached the two of them, the city guard glanced at them, quickly jotted down their names on the roster, and said, "You two!

Xiaotang was a little dissatisfied with his attitude, and said, "This is not a cover-up. The wind and sand on the road are so big, isn't it natural to bring a hat!"

The city guard had never seen them before, and he had doubts in his heart to say this. He does this work boringly, inevitably finding some fault in the people entering the city, and usually when he is in a good mood, he will not make it difficult for these passers-by. However, when he met such a person who dared to return to him, he naturally didn't have a good face at all.

"Don't pick it, then don't think about going into the city! Go and go! Find another place to go, you are not welcome in Lingxiao City!"

Tianlan frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, but Xiaotang couldn't help it.

"You-hmph, pick it, you see. She took off the hat on her head, revealing a stunning face that captivated the country and the city. Her eyebrows are like a crescent moon, delicate phoenix eyes, red lips and nose, jade skin and ice skin, slightly immature but heroic, and she can touch people's hearts with a smile. Her fair skin became more and more radiant in the sun, and she couldn't open her eyes.

"Ah...... Ah......h The surrounding passers-by were also attracted to their eyes, and the voices of admiration were endless.

Tianlan chuckled lightly and said, "Okay Xiaotang, let's go." Then he walked into the city, as if he had entered a no-man's land. Xiaotang had always listened to him, and quickly followed behind him, ignoring the envious eyes cast around him.

It wasn't until the two figures had completely disappeared from sight that the city guard suddenly woke up. There's a masterpiece in the city! The young master of the Jia family will definitely be very interested! The opportunity to make a fortune has come! Without saying a word, he left his work, picked up the list, and ran in the other direction of the city!

Of course, he didn't expect how much trouble his act of ventilating and reporting would bring to the Jia family in the end.
