Chapter 57: The Old Story of the Red Lotus (3)
Heng turned his head to look at Qi Niang and said, "This time I can ask, why did you come back, right?" ”
"It's none of your business." Qi Niang leaned against the stone wall behind her with her eyes closed, her mind finally had a moment of freeness, and her heart suddenly throbbed when she remembered the picture of Lan Yi's death.
Why do you want to sacrifice your life to protect her, Lan Yi and she have only known each other for a year, if it weren't for the fact that she deliberately fell into the hands of the enemy to find a chance to escape, Lan Yi would not have died. Why is Lan Yi so stupid, knowing her plan, but still dying for her? And let her escape! Why the hell is that?!
And this opportunity to escape in exchange for Lan Yi's life, Qi Niang gave up! She suddenly felt a lot of remorse, and the guilt and pain invaded her heart, making her uncomfortable and about to die. It was the first time she had watched a life die because of her choice.
Qi Niang lowered her head and clenched her teeth tightly, and one hand suddenly covered her clenched fist.
"What happened to you?" Heng seemed to be able to feel her mood.
"My good friend, I died because of me. I thought that as long as I fell into the hands of those rebels and made Hua Nianyun think I was dead, Red Lotus Fort would not find out about my betrayal and would not hunt me down. But I ...... It's too simple. Chiffon's subordinates sensed that I was going to flee, and if she hadn't sacrificed herself to block the sword for me, she managed to hold the man...... I'm afraid she won't die. "How much Qi Niang hates herself, she is obviously sad, but there is not a single tear, she is such a merciful person.
Heng shook her hand vigorously before he said, "I also have a close friend, and he also died in front of me." At that time, his blood was splashed all over my face, and he died in my arms. But I'm going to live with his share. No matter how difficult the road ahead is and how many people stand in my way, I will do my best to eradicate those who stand in my way! With that, Heng looked down at his other hand, and then grabbed it fiercely. His gaze was incomparably resolute.
Qi Niang raised her head to look at him, and neither of them spoke anymore. It turns out that he also has such a painful experience, so he betrayed Red Lotus Castle? Perhaps, everyone here has indelible scars.
The sound of fighting in the distance has not stopped, the flames are soaring into the sky, and I don't know what the situation is. Heng's companion did not come until the second half of the night, and Heng seemed to have fallen asleep because of the pain he had endured for too long. Qi Niang touched him and found that he was hot all over, like a symptom of high fever. Afraid that he would die like this, Qi Niang gave him the cold in her body, and since she practiced the secret technique, Qi Niang was able to control the cold in her body at will.
Maybe it was because he had practiced the art of yin and yang with him, Heng's body accepted her internal force more quickly than ordinary people, and the high fever quickly subsided, but Qi Niang's energy was greatly lost because of the injury and the output of too much internal force.
In his sleep, he felt a cool air flow rushing into his body, and the pain seemed to be relieved a lot. I don't know how long later, he opened his eyes and saw Qi Niang leaning against the stone pillar next to her with her eyes closed, her lips no longer the blood color she had before, and she pursed tightly. It turned out that she was the one who kept instilling internal strength in him in the first half of the night.
Heng stared at her for a long time, and suddenly reached out, trying to remove the mask from her face. She was his woman, and he didn't know what she looked like, not even her real name. The first time we met, she said her name was "Yu'er". The second time they met, she was silent but responded enthusiastically to his requests for her body. The third time, she became the head of the cold Thunder Division again...... This time, she guarded him with her wounds and healed him.
What kind of person is she?
I couldn't wait to see her clearly, but my hand was grabbed tightly by a cold hand when it touched the mask on her face.
Qi Niang opened her eyes suddenly, stared at him vigilantly like an indifferent wild cat, and said, "Have you forgotten that the face of the killer cannot be seen at will? ”
Heng withdrew his hand and laughed, "People who share life and death, do you still care about this?" Sooner or later, we will all have to get to know each other again. ”
Qi Niang stood up, looked ahead and said, "It's a pity that I don't want to live and die with Master Heng, and I don't have to get to know each other again." Your companion seems to be coming, and I'm leaving. ”
Heng was shocked: "Where are you going?" Give me back! ”
Qi Niang glanced back at him, and said without the slightest nostalgia: "I still have something to go to Hua Nianyunna, after all, I am still in charge of the Thunder Division of Red Lotus Castle, so I will not go all the way with Lord Heng." Goodbye! No, it should be better never to see you again. You go, don't come back and die. With that, Qi Niang turned around and left.
"Ah Che, Ah Che, how are you?" Yue Bufan hurriedly ran over with two people and saw Heng's right leg.
"I've got a broken leg bone, get me out of here first. And you, go and follow that person, don't let her be in danger, have a chance to bring her back, go quickly! The man ordered, and then he took off the mask from his face and threw it aside.
A cold and resolute face was a little pale in the night, and under his frowning brow, there was a pair of black eyes as sharp as the wind, like a nighthawk hiding a murderous motive.
Qi Niang was injured and returned to the temple, and saw Hua Nianyun sitting on a chair, very comfortable, as if she was not facing those fights at all. For Hua Nianyun, the sights of blood spattering on the spot, corpses all over the field, and rivers of blood are just things that are used to again. This kind-faced but femme fatale-hearted old woman knows how many people are giving their lives for her! She didn't know that her favorite Arai was dead!
Qi Niang wanted to kill this woman with her own hands at that moment. But she knew that she couldn't, she walked to the center of the temple, knelt down on one knee, and said to Hua Nianyun: "Castle master, my subordinates are incompetent, and they can't bring the rebels back one by one, no...... Saved Lan Yi's Protector, Lan Yi's Dharma Protector she died. ”
The old man, who had been smiling, suddenly changed color, she suddenly got up from her chair, propped up the table with her hands, and said with wide eyes: "What did you say?" Say it again! ”
Qi Niangfu lowered her head again, covered her bitter hatred, and replied word by word: "Lan Yi's protector is dead. ”
"Ah......" Hua Nianyun suddenly sat down on the chair as if she had lost all her strength, and muttered, "Dead? Arai she's dead......"
Chi Feng, who happened to be in a hurry to recover his life, froze in place when he heard this, and then he suddenly rushed towards Qi Niang, grabbed Qi Niang's collar, and his eyes were as big as copper bells, "Didn't Lan Yi act with you?" Why are you so good that she died? What about my subordinates? I told him to protect you, but he didn't come back? ”
Qi Niang calmly informed him: "Lan Yi and your subordinates were killed by those people. ”
Chi Feng stared at her with wide eyes and disbelief: "How is this possible, they are all so powerful in martial arts, so why you?" ”
"Okay, Feng Protector, Luo is also injured, do you want all the people around me to accompany your people to die?" Hua Nianyun suddenly spoke.
Chifeng glared at Qi Niang before he put down his hand unwillingly.
"The subordinates have taken down all the remaining rebels who fled to Tianluo Mountain, do you want to take them to prison?"
Hua Nianyun seemed to be getting older in an instant, and she said listlessly: "Forget it, all of them will be corrected on the spot, and there is no need to list the execution list anymore, I'm tired, you can do the rest." ”
“…… Subordinates obeyed. ”
Only Qi Niang and Hua Nianyun were left in the temple, and Hua Nianyun slowly spoke for a long time: "Luo, do you say that people like me should have been punished a long time ago?" ”
Qi Niang looked indifferently at the gray-haired elderly woman in the temple, and suddenly felt that Hua Nianyun was no different from an ordinary old man at the moment, lonely, helpless, and fragile. She was silent for a while and said, "Why did the castle lord say this? ”
"Alas...... All people are going to leave me......" Hua Nianyun's face was withered, and he had lost his former demeanor. At this moment, Qi Niang felt that this person who held the power of life and death was really old.
Qi Niang couldn't help but ask, "Why does the castle lord treat Lan Yi differently?" ”
Hua Nianyun looked at her and said, "Because Lan Yi, she looks very much like my daughter......"
"Your daughter?" Qi Niang was a little surprised by her answer.
"Yes, my dead daughter."
Qi Niang was silent for a long time, there was no wave in her eyes, and then said: "If the castle master has no arrangements, then his subordinates will retire first." ”
Hua Nianyun stared at Qi Niang uncertainly, "Okay, you go back and take care of the wound." ”
When Qi Niang walked to the door of the temple, Hua Nianyun suddenly said: "Xiao Qi, you won't abandon me like them, right?" ”
Qi Niang paused for a moment, didn't look back, she shook her head, "How come." The castle lord has a good rest. ”
Three days later, Qi Niang and two subordinates found more than a dozen remnants of the rebels near Tianluo Mountain, but did not kill them immediately, but ordered one of his subordinates to go back first to restore his life, and temporarily imprisoned the rebels in the Tianluo Mountain prison.
"Yufeng, has it done for you?" In the evening, Qi Niang said to the subordinate who remained.
Yu Feng arched his hand and replied: "The subordinates have all been done, are you going to let them go now?" ”
"The sooner the better, so as not to dream too much every day. Ask them to change their clothes as soon as possible and head to the main entrance. By the way, after this is done, you can also go with them. ”
Yu Feng was silent for a moment, and then said: "If the boss doesn't leave, how can his subordinates leave here, if someone finds out that the boss has let them go privately, he will definitely not let go of the boss." ”
Qi Niang looked at him and said, "I have my own way to get out, Hua Nianyunna, I've already thought about it, she's old and confused, Lan Yi is not here, she only has me and Chiffon now, so she won't doubt me." If you don't leave this time, you won't have a chance, don't you still have a wife and children, don't you have to think about them? ”
Yu Feng thought twice, and then knelt down, "Subordinate...... Thank you for the success of your subordinates, and if you can see you again in the future, your subordinates will definitely report it. ”
The next day, all the rebels in the Tianluo Mountain Prison were replaced by their own people, and when the people of Red Lotus Fort found out, Qi Niang was unconscious outside the prison door, and the mask on her face was also taken away. According to the doctor's diagnosis, they were all infected with a kind of incense, which can make people fall asleep for several hours.
After investigation, a priest named Yufeng under Qi Niang rebelled, but when the people of Red Lotus Fort searched his file, they accidentally found that the file that recorded all the priests' information did not have this person's name. Since then, Yufeng and the dozen or so rebels have evaporated from the world. And Hua Nianyun was convinced of Qi Niang's words, but because of a major mistake, Qi Niang was cut off from the position of head of the Thunder Division.
A year later, the defunct Red Lotus Fort fell into an unprecedented crisis again, and another assassination organization, Qianjilou, which suddenly rose in the middle of the rivers and lakes, came to clean up the portal and massacre the elites in the fort. Qi Niang deliberately led Bian Che, the owner of the Thousand Machine Building, into the secret room where Hua Nianyun was hiding, and Hua Nianyun finally died. The foundation of Red Lotus Fort for more than 30 years was destroyed in one fell swoop. And Qi Niang, after completing Bian Che's first task, was taken back to the Thousand Machine Building by Bian Che.
