Xiao Yezi watched Yang Yizhao and Xue Yue return to their respective positions, and the big stone in his heart finally let go.

Alas, these four rudders turn the world upside down every time they meet, and I hate you to eat me, I eat you. I really don't know what this power struggle means.

She suddenly thought of Li Li, and her heart was even more depressed - seeing that these old qualified people were fighting so fiercely and hard, with a fledgling newcomer like Li Li, I was afraid that it would take even more effort of one hundred and twenty points to achieve his goal. I only ask the emperor to bless him, since Li Li will not die in a catastrophe, he must be safe and secure in the future.

After three rounds of drinking, Yunxi was also drunk, and his life was scattered. All the disciples thanked the helper for his hospitality, and they all went back to their tents to rest.

Yunxi ate and was a little sluggish. Xiao Yezi, as an attendant, helped the master feel unwell, so she naturally had to wait, so she held Yun Xi's left arm and slowly moved towards the main tent step by step.

As he walked, Yun Xi suddenly stretched out his right hand and held the hand that Xiao Yezi was holding on his arm. Xiao Yezi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his heart skipped half a beat, and he didn't dare to let go, his face was red and white, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only force himself to calm down and move on.

Yun Xi smiled: "I'm not in a hurry to go back." Let's go for a walk. As he spoke, he led the little leaf and walked out of the village. Xiao Yezi remembered the rumors revealed by Shen Yelai, his heart was not happy, the strength in his hands was not so stable, and people couldn't help but keep a little distance from Yunxi. But in this way, it becomes more difficult to hold Yunxi. She braced himself so hard that her arms ached.

As if sensing Xiao Yezi's abnormality, Yun Xi smiled, but he held her hand tighter than before.

His large palm wrapped around the back of her hand, and the temperature passed from his palm to hers. She stole her eyes up to look at his hands, which never seemed to have done heavy work, and were not calloused. Although he is a martial arts practitioner, he seems to be born insulated from weapons, his palms are so soft, and his fingers are so long, just like the hands of nobles.

Yunxi suddenly laughed, causing her to raise her head, but she happened to look at him.

Under the moonlight, he was dressed in a purple robe, rich and beautiful, idle and dusty, warm as a cloud, soft as the tide.

If Yang Yizhao is handsome and chic, he does not have the charm of his poetry and painting.

If Li Li has a clear temperament, it is not as good as his fairy jade demeanor.

He seemed to be able to merge with the bright moonlight, but without losing his own brilliance, and reflected each other with the moonlight.

Even passers-by hurriedly passed by him, and they would be obsessed with him for a long time.

Now that such an immortal is holding her hand, and she is still so close to her, how can she, a mortal, have the ability to take her eyes off him?

Such a person will shine. It makes you have to pay attention and have to admire.

She stared at him intently, as if her mind had already gone to another world. He stared down at her, a smile wading into the corners of his eyes. The corners of his eyes already had a slight trace of fine lines. But even if it is a worldly pattern, it will not affect his temperament, but will only make his beauty more real.

Along the way, in a blink of an eye, I have come to a secluded place by the lake. The flowers and trees overlap and the petals fade. The moonlight shone through the branches, twisting and scattering on the cool stone floor. As far as the eye can see, the lake reflects the mountains, and the waves are rippling with the moonlight.

It's beautiful. Xiao Yezi was a little stunned: "This place is so beautiful." ”

Yunxi looked down at her, guessed her thoughts, and smiled: "You too." ”

Xiao Yezi listened to him praise himself, but there was no sweetness in his heart, he only felt nervous: "...... The helper laughed. ”

Yun Xi took her hand and put it on his chest, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't call it a helper?" ”

Xiao Yezi's whole body was tense, as if he had stepped on thunder, he cautiously and slowly withdrew his hand, copied it behind his back, and said with a smile: "Don't call it the helper, is it called the eldest brother?" ”

Yunxi just looked at her with a gentle smile and let her withdraw her hand. She copied her hands behind her back, couldn't figure out the path of Yunxi, and wanted to raise her eyebrows and smile to ease the atmosphere, but she couldn't laugh, so she had to say: "You drank too much wine, you should go back to rest." ”

Yunxi seemed to want to say something, but coughed a few times involuntarily, and then smiled: "It's a drink." He no longer looked at Xiao Yezi, but just looked into the distance, his mind seemed to be a little distant, "I haven't drunk for a long time." ”

Xiao Yezi saw that he no longer looked at him, so he gradually recovered a little naturalness: "Who said that at the hero's banquet a few months ago, didn't you also drink wine?" ”

Yunxi smiled faintly: "Yes, I also let you run into it." ”

Xiao Yezi didn't know how to answer, so she had to talk awkwardly: "You ...... that time Quite a lot of drinking. ”

Yunxi smiled: "I spit it out, I don't think I've drunk it." ”

The joke wasn't funny, but it at least eased the tension between the two a little. Xiao Yezi shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "If you can't drink it, don't drink it." I drank and vomited, which made me feel so uncomfortable. ”

Yunxi didn't know what to remember, his eyes darkened, and even his voice became much darker: "It's not that you can't drink, it's that you promised someone else that you can't drink." ”

Xiao Yezi was stunned: "Others? ”

Yunxi hummed, held on to a flower tree, and looked at the lake in the dark.

"At that time, I had just become a helper, and the foundation of the gang was unstable, and I had to do many things myself. At that time, I frequently shuttled between Shanglingyan and Cloud City, constantly recruiting capable people and strangers for the Heavenly King Gang, and at the same time collecting intelligence for the Anti-Yan and laying an alliance. One day, on a confidential mission, I crossed the border to Yanjin's sphere of influence in search of an important letter. ”

"As soon as I crossed the border, I saw a group of Yanjin people doing evil in a village near the border. They robbed the money, set another fire, and burned down all the houses in the village. The men in the village were either dragged to work as coolies or killed on the spot. As for women...... Either they were dragged to a dark place and killed, or they were dragged to the back of a horse and taken back by the Yanjin people to do ......" Yunxi paused for a moment, did not continue, only said, "In less than an hour, the entire village was looted by the Yanjin people, and the ground was full of corpses, which can really be said to be a river of blood. ”

Xiao Yezi heard the tragedy at the border, and his heart was gloomy, and he said, "Didn't you go to save them?" If ......" she wanted to say that if Yang Yizhao was present to see this scene, she would definitely rush up to see righteousness and bravery. But she considered that Yunxi was the helper and Yang Yizhao was a subordinate, and it might be a little inappropriate for her to compare this matter, so after thinking about it, she changed her words, "If it were me, I would definitely rush forward, although I don't know martial arts, but if I can save one, it will be counted as one." ”

Yunxi shook his head: "I had other important things to do at the time, and I couldn't show my head." When the Yanjin people were gone, I stepped forward to check. Maybe it's fate, behind the ruins of this broken well, there is actually a cellar hidden. And it was in this cellar that I met Ah Ying. ”

At that time, in order to avoid these Yanjin people, she hid in the cellar, holding her legs and shivering. When they first saw me, they didn't dare to come out. Her eyes are very big and clean, just like the water of this Dongting Lake. The first time I saw her, I fell in love with her. ”

Xiao Yezi chuckled in his heart, and suddenly remembered someone: "Ah Ying...... Oh, is she the Lantern Messenger Jing Ying? ”

A hint of surprise appeared on Yun Xi's face, and then he smiled: "How do you know?" Did Yang Yizhao tell you? ”

Xiao Yezi didn't answer - the person who had the name of Jing Ying in front of her, how could Yang Yizhao be the only one? She felt lost and sour in her heart, and after a while, she said, "You continue." ”

Yunxi touched her head, smiled dotingly, and continued:

"I took her back to the Heavenly Kings and let her stay in the Leaver Pavilion. Every once in a while, I went to see her. She and I became more and more familiar. We often walked around the lake to talk about. Maybe it's fate, whenever I'm with her, my heart is filled with peace and tranquility like never before. ”

"Ordinary people always think that as the first group of Zhaoyin, I have the imperial court behind me, and I have the four heavenly kings under my hands, and I am in a high position. But who knows, my subordinates are not aligned, and usually you fight with me, and I need to balance left and right to maintain it. Everything I did was to manage this Heavenly King Gang for the imperial court. But in his position, I can only take care of the overall situation, but I have unconsciously lost myself and lost the right of a person to have basic preferences. ”

"At that time, in order to be a good helper, I tried my best to add to my body of deficiency. Ah Ying, she is not a member of the Tianwang Gang, so she could have stayed away from me and avoided these rights and wrongs. But in order to take care of me, she volunteered to stay in Shanglingyan, stay by my side to clean my clothes, and add lights to cook. We are affectionate, courteous, and get along like our own brothers and sisters. In order to justify the name, I promoted her to be a close attendant, and after a short time, I made her a messenger of the lamp. ”

"I didn't expect this to become a problem for me. In fact, I just added someone to my side, and I will neither fight with them for power nor harm their lives. But many people in the gang still resented me because of this, saying that I ignored the principle of consultation between the four heavenly kings and promoted my close servants privately. They are high-sounding, but in fact, they just think that I am cultivating my own power in the Heavenly King Gang. Xiao Yezi, if it were to be replaced by you, would you also complain about me like them? ”

At this moment, all Xiao Yezi thinks about is the miserable people on the border, she lives deep in the village, if she hadn't experienced the massacre in Nianfei Village, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to understand the tragic situation on the border. If it weren't for Yang Yizhao's presence at that time, I was afraid that she and Li Li would not have been able to escape the fate of being killed and humiliated. Her thinking has always stayed on "why didn't Yunxi choose to save people". But she also knew that she had no right to force everyone to be like her. Maybe Yunxi did have more important things at that time, maybe he didn't understand, so don't guess.

Xiao Yezi lowered his eyes, forcibly withdrew his thoughts, and answered Yunxi's question: "I don't know, but I shouldn't be resentful." You are the helper, and you can ban whoever you like. It's just that I want a comfortable person by my side, and it's not a heinous thing, and it's not worth complaining about. ”

Yun Xi glanced at Xiao Yezi, his eyes were full of praise and goodwill, but also with suppressed helplessness, he said slowly: "This Heavenly King Gang, there is the Yanjin Wanyan clan on the outside, and the four heavenly kings are restraining each other, which is a whirlpool of power struggles full of dangers. Even the ten closest servants and ten swordsmen to me carry the shadows of the four heavenly kings nine times out of ten. Many times, I stood alone in Lingyan, looking at the dark night sky outside, in a trance. But I can't stop, and once I stop, I'm nothing. I can only grasp the present to have the opportunity to change the future. ”

"You know what? Grasp the present and change the future...... The slogan is easy to say, but too hard to do. Many times, I wanted to run away from this place of right and wrong, never to return. Every time I couldn't solve my worries, my condition would get worse and worse. At this time, she is the only one who accompanies me, even if she doesn't speak, it makes me feel warm. Although I was struggling with pain, I was not lonely at all. ”

"I can't actually drink alcohol when I'm sick, but I'm in this position, how can I have the final say on many things? Luckily, every time I went out for socializing, she would prepare hangover medicine for me. She would wait for me, even all night, until I came back and watched me take my medicine, and then she would rest at ease. ”

"I am in a high position, and when others entertain me, I will only frequently persuade them to drink, thinking that borrowing wine can achieve their goals, and it doesn't matter if my health is good or bad. In their eyes, I was just an instrument of power, not a real person. Only Ah Ying really cares about me. She worked hard for me every day, and her body became sick day by day. You don't know how uncomfortable I feel when I see her getting thinner and thinner. ”

"In order not to worry her, every time I was social, I would secretly avoid everyone and go to the corner to take all the wine I drank out of my body. If I can force it with internal force, I will force it with internal force, and if I can't force it, I will find a way to induce vomiting. Xiaoyezi, can you understand that pain? The dizziness and colic that swirled around and I didn't know where I was, as if all the internal organs were twisted together, and as if the bones of the whole body had been disassembled and reassembled. But I thought that when I went back, she would rest assured that even if it was painful, I would be very happy. ”

"But at last she was terminally ill and left me forever. I'm still my helper, but I'm still socializing and drinking. After drinking, I continued to induce vomiting. It was only when I induced vomiting that I felt that she hadn't left me. As soon as I got back to my room, she would be waiting for me where I was, would tell me she was worried about me, would tell me she was still there. ”

Xiao Yezi looked at him, and his heart was churning, and he was pity, sentimentality, self-blame, and sadness. I can't imagine that such a fairy-like man has also been tortured by feelings. She slowly stretched out her hand, a little wanting to get closer to him, wanting to touch his face and comfort him—but remembering Li Li and Du Juan'er, remembering that he was still a married man, she finally just patted his arm gently, took her hand back, and whispered: "It's not good for you to be like this, hurt your body." ”

Yunxi didn't care about her touch, but because of her comfort, her face was happy and happy.
