Go to Chen Kingdom, take a boat down the Yangtze River to the south, look at the river water, clear water, as if back to that year, I and Zi Wei first met. He was on the boat, the moonlight by the water, the light green shirt, blending with the moonlight and water, like smoke and dream, unforgettable.

Tonight, what is the night, see this encounter. After this passing year, the beloved has been lost.

I met him on the water, using the sound of the flute as a medium, and all kinds of situations seemed like yesterday. Now, I am alone, miserable, lost my worries, and my heart seems to be hollowed out, and it is even more uncomfortable to see this situation.

I returned to the cabin with a sad heart, only to see Chen Ji waiting for me outside my room. He stood in front of the door and said he had something to discuss with me.

Chen Ji looked at me, frowned slightly, and said in a rather reproachful tone, "Your body is cold, how can you go outside to blow the wind." ”

"The room is very stuffy, I just go out to breathe." I breathed unevenly, glanced at the incense burner in the room, and said, "It's strange to say, I've been taking medicine, and this body is never getting better." ”

Chen Ji comforted: "The doctor said that you are sick with your heart, and you can only get better when your heart is resolved." You also have to let go, don't think too much about the people of the past and the things of the past. ”

I was silent for a moment, "I'm afraid I won't get better in this life." ”

Seeing this, Chen Ji couldn't persuade him, and after sighing for a while, he could only say, "What did you think about that matter?" ”

My eyes moved, staring at Chen Ji and said, "Master said that the map of the world records the important places of the soldiers, draws the terrain and terrain, and uses this map to fight, which is beneficial to the war; It also records the mineral deposits in various places, and the development of these gold, silver and iron ores can enrich the country and strengthen the army and compete for the world. If this picture falls into the hands of a tyrannical and warlike king, it will bring disaster to the people. Therefore, Master repeatedly instructed me that the Ambition of the World and the Earth must never be handed over, but can only be handed over to the monarch who rules the world and is determined by the Mandate of Heaven. ”

I looked at Chen Ji fixedly and declared, "You are not the one who can rule the world, and I will not hand over the world to you." ”

As soon as Chen Ji heard this, he hurriedly said: "Why do you conclude that I can't rule the world, besides, don't you want to avenge your husband?" ”

My gaze turned to the ground, revealing a touch of ruthlessness, "It's because I want revenge that I can't hand over the world's ambitions to you!" ”

Chen Ji's eyes tightened, and he immediately returned to normal, and asked me, "Qingqiang, what do you mean by this?" ”

I grabbed the sword on the side of the desk and stood up all of a sudden, facing him with undisguised hatred in my eyes, "The more you want to get something, I won't let you get it." There is nothing more painful in life than not being able to ask for it, and I want you to ask for it. This is my revenge on you! ”

Chen Ji's eyes jumped, but he still looked dazed, "Qingqiang, if you want revenge, you have to rush to Yuwen Yong, he killed your husband." What are you doing at me! ”

I said loudly: "Chen Ji, stop pretending, you released the news that I hid the Tianxia Zhitu, and you are the one who killed Zi Wei!" ”

Chen Ji said with a wronged face: "Qingqiang, you really wronged me." If I spread the word about the world's history, what good will it do me? ”

My eyes were cold, and I mocked him, "The ancestral court failed to send me to you, and you can't find my whereabouts, so you spread the news and want to force me to show up, so that I have no way out." Then you show up again, help me, make me grateful, believe in you, rely on you, as you are now. ”

"Later, in order to save me, Master Huiyuan took the initiative to take the trouble and said that the world and the earth were trying to be on him. You are sure that I will not let innocent people suffer, and I will definitely go to save Master Huiyuan. So you sent someone to wait for the rabbit at the gate of Dali Temple in Yecheng, just to wait for me to appear! ”

The reason why Jiang Yu and Qinglan appeared in Dali Temple so coincidentally to help me was because Chen Ji had planned it a long time ago.

"You let Qinglan and Jiang Yu take care of me on the surface, but you are actually spying on me. You were afraid that I would escape, so you secretly sent many men to watch me. I know all of this. ”

These days, Chen Ji cares about me on the surface, but behind the scenes, he has sent a lot of manpower to lurk around me, secretly watching me, and beware of me.

Chen Ji still wanted to defend, but was interrupted by me in a cold voice, "To prevent me from escaping, you also added lily incense to the incense burner." After smelling this incense for a long time, you will have palpitations and weakness, lack of qi and blood, confusion, and deterioration of your body. ”

I completely exposed his intentions and said, "You are doing all this in order to get the ambition of the world from me. But I'll tell you, Chen, don't be delusional, I won't do what you want! ”

Chen Ji looked at me, no longer panicked and defended, and finally put away the disguise on his face, with a trace of coldness on his face, "Qingqiang, you are really terrifyingly smart. That's why I admire you, but I don't like you. A smart woman is pleased, but a smart, ruthless and ruthless woman is annoying! ”

My gaze was as cold as a sword, and I replied coldly, "I don't need your liking, and your dislike doesn't matter to me. ”

Chen Ji was not surprised and said: "You are really as ruthless as ever, after seeing your methods and indifference to the imperial brother, I knew that I could pity you and pity you, but I could never like you." Because, people who like you are often miserable. ”

I glared at him and said fiercely: "Then I will tell you now, the person who harmed me will end up even worse." I want you to pay for my husband's life! ”

With that, I drew my sword and stabbed it horizontally. Chen Ji dodged sideways and smiled contemptuously: "You want to kill me? Can you kill me? ”

I snorted coldly and swung my sword away, and Chen also pulled out the sword on his body to block my sword momentum. After a few moves, Chen Ji finally sensed that something was wrong, and stared at me in surprise, "Is your body okay?" ”

A sneer appeared on my lips, and Chen Ji understood in an instant, "You're okay." You've been making shows to me these days! ”

I looked at the burning incense burner in the room and said, "Do you think I'm really going to fall for you?" I had long noticed that there was something wrong with the incense, so I secretly poured out the incense from the incense burner and replaced it with ordinary spices. My master taught me the art of Qihuang, and although I am not proficient in it, I know a little bit about it. Your trick will not succeed! ”

With a "bang", I split the incense burner with a sword, and the hot charcoal soot flew towards Chen Ji together. I looked at his embarrassed and dodging appearance, and my heart was happy, I no longer had to hide, and my face burst out with bitter hatred, "From the moment you began to appear next to me, I have been pretending. I'm pretending to be weak, and that's all to trick you into letting your guard down so I can kill you! ”

"So, you drove away Yu Wenyong and agreed to go to Chen Country with me to lie to me?" Resentment appeared on Chen Ji's face, "Good for you Xiao Qingqiang, your scheming is so deep." ”

"Yes, from the very beginning, my target was not Yu Wenyong, but you, Chen Ji!"

From the time I met Qinglan in Dali Temple, I vaguely guessed in my heart that the initiator of everything was Chen Ji. Later, Yuwen Yong appeared, I pretended to deal with Yu Wenyong, but in fact, it was to win Chen Ji's trust, let him lower his vigilance, and then wait for the opportunity, kill him, and avenge Zi Wei!

Chen Ji's eyes were full of resentment at being teased, but he still forced himself to save face and said, "It's a pity, even so, you can't kill me." ”

My eyes flashed, and the words I said were as deep as the sea, "In terms of martial arts, I am indeed slightly inferior to you." But if you...... Poisoned? ”

"You poisoned me?" Chen Ji's face was shocked, and he asked me in horror, "When?" ”

"You are very vigilant, and every time you use food, you use a silver needle to test the poison. But you didn't expect that poisoning doesn't have to be in the food, you can also put the poison in a nearby place, such as ......" The smile on my lips was like a deep blue sea, and I deliberately slowed down my speech and said, "The hosta on your head." ”

Chen Ji's face was pale, and he suddenly pulled out the white hosta on his head in fear and threw it on the ground, and suddenly his long hair was draped, messy as grass. He asked aloud, "What have you done to me?" ”

Seeing his frightened appearance, I became more and more happy, and slowly said: "I have soaked your hosta with poison, and if you carry this hairpin every day, the poison will slowly penetrate into your brain." Do you think that your hair has been falling out more and more lately, and you often have unbearable headaches? ”

"How did you get my hosta? It's Qinglan. Chen Ji suddenly figured it out, and stared at me hatefully, "You actually bought the people around me, damn it!" ”

I slashed at him, "You know now, it's too late!" ”

The two swords countered each other, and I was bent on taking Chen Ji's life, and I shot extremely ruthlessly. Originally, they were evenly matched, but Chen Ji had a headache, and I accidentally stabbed him for a while, and he staggered out of the room and fled outside the cabin.

The blood droplets were as long as a thread, and the long blood trails curved outward. I walked out and followed him.

"Help, come and save me!" On the cold river wind, there was Chen Ji's painful cry for help.

Hearing the noise, the guards in the cabin soon arrived. Dense guards surrounded me, and Chen Ji covered his wound and pointed at me and said to them, "Catch her!" ”

As if grasping hope, Chen Ji showed a smile and said to me: "Xiao Qingqiang, you can't kill me." ”

I looked at the guards who were swarming, and I only took out a blue-glazed porcelain bottle from my arms, opened the cork, and poured the fragrance in the bottle on the ground, and suddenly a strong aroma spread.

As soon as the menacing guards smelled the fragrance, they fell down in an instant, one after the other. Soon, a large number of people fell on the ship.

"You-" Chen Ji stared at me, "what did you do?" ”

"I just put a pair of potions in the water tank, colorless, odorless, non-poisonous, and they will be fine if they eat it alone. But once they drink the water and smell my special 'one-step pour perfume', they can't survive under the effect of the drug. ”

I approached Chen Ji step by step and said, "Do you know why I didn't use this medicine on you?" Because I want to kill you with my own hands! ”

Chen Ji was shocked by my voice and took a step back. I took the sword in one hand and grabbed him by the neck with the other, and my white fingers grabbed him like eagle talons, and pressed him against the railing. I said fiercely, "Aren't you amazing? I'm going to push you down right now and let you feed the fish, what can you do with me! ”

I pinched his face and turned red, looking at his painful panting, I was sad and hateful, and shouted: "Just for a map of the world, you killed Zi Wei, you killed him!" I want your life! ”

Remembering that I didn't even see the last side of my sorrow, I was even more sad. Seeing that his face was full of pain, I was still angry, and my fingers were forced, and with a sharp flick, I threw him down on the deck at once.

Chen's head and nose hit the deck hard, and after a while, his nose bleeded and his forehead was bruised.

Chen Ji was in pain, his mourning voice was low, he wiped the nosebleed with his sleeve, slowly raised his head, and said to me: "Qingqiang, although there have been a lot of deception and exploitation between us, I used to really regard you as a friend. I never wanted to kill you, nor did I want to kill your husband. I just want to force you to show up and get the map of the world. ”

My heart was as cold as a stone, and I didn't waver, "It's useless for you to say anything today, I won't let you go!" ”

Just as I was stabbing him with my sword, Chen Ji suddenly burst out of strength, dodged violently, climbed the fence, turned to me and said, "If I want to die, Chen Ji, I must not die in the hands of others." My life can only be cut off by myself! ”

With that, he jumped down quickly, and with a "poof" sound, the water splashed. I hurriedly rushed up and shouted, "Chen, Chen, Chen!" ”

The figure sank to the bottom, and my voice did not respond for a long time, only the vast clear water and the river wind were deserted.
