Chapter 53: Life Hangs by a Thread
The purple-clothed man's eyes were like fireworks blooming together, shining brightly, and he turned around to hold her hand, and his heart was stirring.
Man Yao was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, frowned unconsciously, withdrew his hand without a trace, and said lightly: "I just don't like others to make sacrifices because of me, I have no other intentions, and please don't misunderstand." ”
The purple-clothed man's smile stiffened slightly, and he was embarrassed for a moment, and then laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm reckless!" ”
The man in black in a mask jumped down from the rock, stood in front of the men in black, pointed at the man in purple, suppressed his voice, and said, "We only need this person, and the others ...... You can leave on your own. ”
This obvious change of voice has a vague sense of indescribable familiarity. Manyao's eyes were sharp, and he looked straight at the masked man in black at the lead, only to see that his tall and long body was wrapped in a wide black robe, which looked very strange in the hot summer. She twisted her eyebrows slightly, and wanted to look at the cold eyes behind the mask, but the other party's eyes flashed, avoiding her gaze.
"What if...... Why don't we go? She didn't turn her gaze, staring at the other party's eyes, and her voice was cool and indifferent. Why does she have the illusion that she knows this person?
The black-clothed man's body shook slightly, as if the breeze had accidentally stirred up his robe, and the slight was almost imperceptible.
There was a moment of silence in the air, rising and falling.
The man in black raised his right hand to the side, and immediately a three-foot Qingfeng long sword was handed to him. The blade of the sword was as thin as a cicada's wing, and the light reflected through the mottled white light imprinted on the edge of the branch was chilling and chilling. His five fingers tightened, his knuckles revealed firm strength, the tip of the sword pointed across the air, and the sword qi burst out of the air, and the broken leaves turned into ashes, and instantly scattered in all directions. "Since you insist on staying, then don't blame me...... The men are merciless. As soon as he said that, he waved his hand, and the man in black behind him got the order, and immediately slashed his sword mercilessly towards the four people at the cliff mouth. Something flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he added: "...... To live. ”
It's another very tragic fight! Manyao suppressed all the discomfort in his heart, and his eyes were cold and silent. She told herself over and over again that in this world, human life is like a mustard, as long as you get used to it. The sword swept across, and wherever the sword qi went, the branches and leaves were broken, and the rocks cracked and shot out in all directions. The four of them formed a line, and they swung their swords together, which was a kind of ten-thousand-way momentum.
Leave the palace and ride the wind.
A man in a white shirt sat on the edge of the pavilion, leaning lazily against the sill of the pavilion. His phoenix eyes were light, his eyebrows were slightly locked, and the pitch-black length was unrestrained, scattered at random, and a few wisps slipped into the placket of his clothes that were torn apart by the heat of the weather, and flicked on his strong chest, looking a little charming. His slender leg was bent on one, and a matte brocade of white embroidered with dark stripes hung down and rested on a clean plank, swaying gently in the breeze. This man with two completely different temperaments, pure and evil, who is not a worry-free sect?
After a year, when I returned to this palace, I felt like I was suddenly separated from the world. I have lived here for more than ten years, but it is not as profound as that half-moon time.
"Brother Qi, this is a new tea that has just arrived, you can taste it." The Nine Emperors poured a glass of water, smiled flatteringly, and handed it over with both hands.
Zong Zheng took it without worry, didn't look at him, handed it to his lips and took a sip, his eyebrows frowned slightly, it was still the same as before, the best West Lake Longjing, but this tea, the more he drank it, the more tasteless it became.
The Nine Emperor Princes came to him, bent over to look at him, his eyebrows raised slightly, the smile on the corner of his mouth was meaningful, and he asked in a long voice, "Seventh Brother, are you...... Really not going? ”
Zong Zheng lowered his eyes without worry, looking at the rippling light blue tea, as if he had never heard him speak at all.
The Nine Emperors leaned closer and said, "Although Qinglianghu is a little off, the scenery there is really good. ”
Zongzheng's eyelashes moved slightly, his eyes did not squint, and he still did not give him any reaction.
The Nine Emperor Princes persevered: "It's cool there!" In the summer, if you go there to enjoy the lake and enjoy the scenery, you will definitely feel good......"
……
Seeing that he didn't agree to what he said, the Nine Emperors were not angry, so he simply turned around and sat down on the stone bench, cocked Erlang's legs, swayed leisurely and elegantly, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank a small sip to moisten his throat, then he spoke out again unhurriedly, and his eyes never left Zongzheng's worry-free face for a moment, and he made a killer move, and said with a chuckle: "Seventh brother, I heard...... General Fu's wife went to Qinglianghu today! ”
The slender and powerful hand trembled almost invisibly, and the tea in the cup overflowed, splashing a few drops on the white brocade clothes, quickly blending, leaving a few shallow wet stains. Zong Zhengwu frowned slightly, the tips of the fingers holding the cup turned white, and the smoke-like mist rose up in front of his eyes. Time sometimes does not dilute everything, but rather makes certain things clearer in the torment of day and night.
"Seventh brother, seventh brother......" The Nine Emperor Princes were stunned when they saw him, and shook their hands in front of his eyes. Zong Zheng raised his eyes without worry, just that glance, the heart of the Nine Emperor Princes trembled, when did the Seventh Brother's eyes change from that evil and indifferent to a clear silence? Moreover, when he came back this time, he was more reticent than before, and his whole person was also reduced a lot.
The Nine Emperors laughed dryly, and hurriedly said, "No, I said something wrong. It's not General Fu's wife, it's Liyue, Liyue. She went to Qingliang Huyou Lake today, shall we go too? Seriously, I haven't seen her in a long time, and I kind of want to. Seventh Brother ...... You should be with me. ”
Does it make a difference what it's called today? She was the general's wife! Zong Zheng said lightly, "What does it have to do with me when she goes to the lake?" If you want to go, go yourself, why bother me. His voice was low, hoarse, like the tail note left by the wind blowing through Xun. What did he go to do? What if you see her? She had already made a choice a year ago, could it be that he couldn't forget her now and was going to wag his tail and beg her for mercy, begging her to reward him with a trace of mercy? He hooked half of his lips and smiled sarcastically.
The Nine Emperors couldn't see his expression, and when he saw it, he felt uncomfortable, he thought about it, and said tentatively: "Seventh brother, I think...... I think it's actually Liyue's heart...... It's still on you. Do you know? They have been married for more than a year, and she has never let Fu Chip stay in her room......"
Zongzheng squinted at him, his cold eyes were clouded, and there seemed to be many emotions mixed together, but he couldn't see anything. He said in a dumb voice, "How do you know that you don't?" If not, then these six nights...... Where did he stay? Every time I say more, my numb heart seems to be empty.
The Nine Emperor Princes were stunned, dare to say that she has nothing to do with him? is clearly very concerned, and I am inquiring about her news every day! The Nine Emperors suddenly didn't know what to say, he had hoped that someone could awaken the feelings of the Seventh Brother, but he never expected such an ending. Should he persuade Seventh Brother to forget her and become ruthless again? Or should I encourage Seventh Brother to put down his pride and dignity and save her heart? For a woman like Liyue, it would be too difficult for her to turn back. Even if she was willing to turn back, Fu Chip would not agree.
Alas! The Nine Emperors sighed helplessly, "Seventh Brother, you ......"
"That's enough." Zong Zheng waved his hand impatiently to interrupt him, his lowered eyelashes hiding the look in his eyes. He stood up, not wanting to continue the heart-wrenching topic. "You've come all the way to trick me back just to say this?"
The Nine Emperors looked innocent and said, "I didn't lie to you, I really thought that person was the person you were looking for, who knew that the birthmark was painted?!" He didn't expose his seventh brother, in fact, he knew that before the seventh brother came back, he already knew that the person was not, but the seventh brother still came back, he just helped the seventh brother find an excuse for himself to come back.
Zong Zheng glanced at him lightly, he hurriedly put on a flattering smile, and said, "Okay, it's not good for me!" I shouldn't lie to you, alas...... Didn't I miss you? It's been more than a year since you left, and my father didn't let me go out of Beijing, so I had to use this method to trick you back. "What he said is the truth, his father didn't let him go out of Beijing, not so that he could find a way to get the seventh brother back to the capital!" Seventh brother, I have never been to Jiangnan, the next time you go back, tell your father and take me with you? I heard that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is picturesque, and the beauty is like clouds, which is exactly what suits my heart, and I want to go and see it. ”
Yes, Jiangnan is very good. The scenery is picturesque, and the beauties are like clouds, but none of these can keep his heart. Zong Zheng put down the cup in his hand without worry, and looked at the sky, and the sky that was still clear just now suddenly had dark clouds gathering at this moment. A white dove flew from the east, flew straight in front of him, and rested in the palm of his outstretched hand.
The Nine Emperor Princes walked over and asked, "Who is this news from?" ”
Zongzheng Wu unfolded the creed and looked at it, his face changed suddenly, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. The Nine Emperor Princes hadn't seen it yet, he had already received the creed and held it in the palm of his hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Leng Yan, prepare the horse immediately." With that, he violently pushed away the Nine Emperor Princes who were blocking in front of him, and walked out of the Wind Pavilion in a hurry. Something terrible seems to have happened.
The Nine Emperor Princes were unguarded, and he was pushed to a stumbling position, in order to stabilize his body, his toes kicked the stone on the side fiercely, and he screamed in pain, jumped several times with his feet, and then looked up, and the Zongzheng worry-free person had disappeared. Thinking that Brother Qicai's expression was abnormal, he didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly chased him out with a limp.
"Seventh brother, you wait for me."
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Halfway up the mountain on the shore of the cool lake, the fierce fight continues. The corpses were piled up, and even the breath was disgusting.
The four of them were more or less injured, and their movements were obviously much slower than before, and those men in black were still brave, one after another, as if they could never finish killing. If it weren't for the man in black who said, "I want to live," I'm afraid they would have been forced into the lake if they weren't killed. His physical strength gradually weakened, and the black-clothed people on the opposite side still rushed over like a tide.
Man Yao felt that her whole arm was numb as if it was no longer her own, exhausted, she was still desperately wielding the sword in her hand, and stabbed into the other party's body again, and the hot and wet blood splattered out, falling on her face, blurring her eyes, leaving only a scarlet patch in her eyes, and nothing else could be seen.
The man in purple hurriedly protected her and asked with concern, "You don't care, right?" ”
Manyao stretched out her hand and wiped it on her face, and she imprinted her hands full of red blood, just like when she once got out of the car before she died, her hand wiped on the door of her head, which was the last time she looked at herself in modern times. The pungent smell of blood filled the tip of the nose, soaking into the bottom of the heart inch by inch, provoking all the internal organs to tremble slightly. The bright red color could not hide the paleness of the face. She shook her head firmly, her almost unconscious fingers still struggling to grip the hilt of the sword in her hand.
The man in black's pupils shrank and shouted, "I'll give you another chance, it's too late to leave now." ”
When the man in purple heard this, he immediately said, "Girl, you should go quickly." Leave me alone. ”
Manyao pursed his lips tightly, did not speak, and the sword in his hand never stopped for a moment. She didn't want to die, but she wasn't greedy for life or afraid of death.
Ling'er saw that her condition was not right, and said anxiously: "Master, just let me stay and help them, you can go...... I beg you, go away! It's good that she wasn't distracted, but this distraction, her fingers paused, and there was immediately an extra blood mark on her waist, and the blood was surging wildly, shocking.
"Ling'er!" Wandering screamed. The man in purple looked sideways, just a servant girl was injured, and it could make her so nervous! It turns out that she can't be so calm and indifferent all the time, she has something she cares about. In this world, I am afraid that the only thing that can make her panic is true love! At this moment, the ethereal fairy in the illusion suddenly became real in his eyes.
The man in purple suddenly threw away the long sword in his hand, his movements were crisp and neat, without the slightest hesitation, he looked at the man in black and said loudly: "I'll take it all together, let them all stop." ”
The middle-aged man was shocked and exclaimed, "No! You can't do that. Don't forget who you are and the mission you have on your shoulders! "It's no longer up to him to do everything, but to remind him in the tone of an elder what he should or shouldn't do.
The man in purple said, "I can't let a woman die for me." Otherwise, how can I stand up to the heavens and the earth and educate my people? ”
"You ......" The middle-aged man was so blocked by him that he couldn't say a word, and could only use his sword to block the attack in front of him, causing himself to be in danger.
Man Yao shook his head and sighed, and was about to speak, but he heard a voice from afar: "Stop!" "The voice is loud and powerful.
As this voice sounded, many archers appeared on the mountain to surround the whole mountain, all of them full of bows, and there were as many as a thousand people coming.
"Xiang Ying!" When Manyao saw the leader, he was overjoyed and finally relieved. But I feel strange, why is Xiang Ying here? Could it be that Fu Chip got the news and sent him to bring someone to save her? But he brought so many people that they didn't hear any movement?
The man in black's face changed drastically, and countless thoughts appeared in an instant. While everyone was stunned, the Qingfeng sword aimed at the purple-clothed man and came out.
Listening to a whoosh, the Qingfeng Sword broke through the air, and its momentum was extremely fast. The man in purple had no sword in his hand, and he couldn't resist it at all, they stood on the edge of the cliff, side by side, and couldn't even avoid it, they could only watch the sword stab straight towards his heart.
Startled, she used her sword to block it at the same time as the middle-aged man, but she didn't expect the internal force given to the sword to be so strong, she tried her best, and only changed the direction of the sword slightly, and the direction turned out to be ......
"Ahh The Qingfeng sword sank into her shoulder in the direction of her arm, piercing into the skin and bones, and the sharp pain swept in, the five fingers lost strength and let go, and the sword in her hand fell to the ground with a "dang long". Her body was struck by the sword momentum of the Qingfeng Sword and flew out, falling straight into the heart of the lake. In such a position, it is difficult to swim ashore even if there is no injury.
Ling'er shouted in horror: "Ah, master?!" She stretched out her hand to grab the body that was flying up, but she was powerless, and she couldn't even grasp the corner of her clothes. She hissed, "No! Don't—ah!! ”
The man in purple was stunned, looking at her flying body, and there was a momentary pause in his mind.
Xiang Ying's face turned pale, he could almost foresee how tragic his fate would be!
Except for the pain of eroding bones, there is no other perception. In fact, death was not so terrible to her, at least, she felt so at this moment. Keep your eyes open and want to take one last look at the world, with blue sky and clear water, green mountains and white clouds...... She seemed to see a white figure treading water and galloping towards her, so fast! Much faster than she had fallen into the lake, like a string full of bows, and shot at it so quickly. But in an extremely perfect posture, more like an illusion. She couldn't help laughing at herself, didn't she give up yet?
She felt so tired, killing too many people today, subverting the thinking and education she had received for more than twenty years. On this day, she completely accepted the fact that life is worthless in this world. She just wanted to close her eyes and get a good night's sleep, but before she felt her body touch the water, she shook violently and was taken into a warm chest.
What a familiar embrace!! The past was like dust, passing through her mind. She opened her eyes again, trying to see the man's face, but before she could reach it, she lost consciousness.
There are thousands of red faces and white pains
