The atmosphere is treacherous and thin curtain (4)
"What? Don't struggle anymore? Ke Tianxu loosened his arms a little, and sat down side by side with Ling Xiao, his feet half-hanging on the cliff wall, one arm around Ling Xiao's shoulder, all the movements were quite calm and natural.
In the face of Ke Tianxu's series of movements, Ling Xiao turned a deaf ear, looked up at the starry sky, and the bright moonlight poured like silver silk, making the starlight dim. After a long time, she felt someone lift her wrist, turned her head and glanced lightly, and saw that the slender hand had lifted her thin sleeve, and the hideous scars were a little hazy in the moonlight.
Ke Tianxu raised his eyes to look at her, his tone was mixed with a little curiosity, and asked calmly, "What's going on with this scar?" ”
Ling Xiao turned his head away, looking at the hazy mountains and valleys in the distance, and did not answer Ke Tianxu's question. She didn't want to say anything more, her temperament had always been like this, let alone facing such a person now.
"It's okay not to say it, but this scar needs to be removed, and I'll find a cure for you." Ke Tianxu put down Ling Xiao's thin sleeves and put his arms around her shoulders again. He felt that there was a woman around him, which brought him a different strange feeling, which was difficult to describe in words, but it was a good feeling, although this woman did not like to deal with him. And this room seems to have a wisp of home, not so deserted, and inexplicably a little warmer.
The two sat silently for a long time, and Ling Xiao finally withdrew his eyes and said faintly: "There are many ways to take revenge on others, and why did you choose this?" Live with a woman you don't love for the rest of your life, are you really willing? This only shows that your personality is too extreme. ”
As for the grudge between the people around him and Yanling Zhan, Ling Xiao was not interested in knowing, so he didn't bother to ask.
"It's all women, isn't it the same who spends their lives with? How did he want to do it? Maybe I've been lonely for too long, but I'm a little eager to have a decent home. As for revenge, it was a thorn buried in my heart since I was a child, not as extreme as you said. You know, if I marry you, then the sixth prince may lose a big tree, which will undoubtedly ruin his plans. Besides, if he cares about you so much, can there be a better way to retaliate? Ke Tianxu said frankly and casually, and did not hide the thoughts in his heart.
Ling Xiao lifted the corners of his lips, overflowing with a sneering smile: "What he cares about is not me, but the power behind me." If he really cares about me, how can he marry the daughter of my enemy as a concubine? Even without you, I don't plan to go back in the next few years. Don't say that I don't have feelings for him, even if I really admire him, I can't serve a husband with others, he is destined to become my husband. ”
"No matter what you say, or try your best to dissociate yourself from the six princes, my mind will not change anyway, and it is impossible to let you go. You don't want to share a husband, and I can do that. In addition, I heard that your sister has been canonized as the queen of Beiyue, which is a recent thing, and now your Zhongli family's power is really good. Ke Tianxu never let go of Ling Xiao's shoulder, his voice was flat, but he brought Ling Xiao such a major news.
Ling Xiao was surprised for a moment, and then he seemed calm: "The power is great, but with the power comes the danger, and the rise and fall of honor and disgrace is just a matter of day." I'm not interested in mixing those rights and wrongs. However, I don't want to have anything to do with the Flying Cliff that has done all the bad things, you can't force me. ”
Ke Tianxu looked at Ling Xiao's face half-hidden in the shadows with interest, and smiled lightly: "Oh? We'll see. Without the murder weapon, what else do you have that can threaten me? Now that I think about it, that dagger was indeed my carelessness. However, how could I make such a mistake a second time? ”
The environment under the moon was quiet, and Ling Xiao saw that the attitude of the people around him was so resolute, knowing that it was useless to talk more, and he couldn't change anything, so he simply ignored him and fell into his own thoughts again.
The mountain breeze hit her body and was cool and comfortable, seeing Ling Xiao fall into silence, Ke Tianxu stopped talking and sat quietly with her.
The two of them sat down until the second half of the night, and the result was that she got up late the next day.
But this time Ling Xiao woke up, his clothes were intact, and Ke Tianxu was also in the house, wearing tight-fitting black clothes that had always changed, his black hair was draped over his shoulders, he was wearing a jade crown, his forehead was smooth and fair, very handsome, revealing a heroic spirit and calmness, and he was sitting next to the desk looking at a roll of bamboo slips.
It was a roster that recorded the details of some of his men, but now the living people on it had turned into ghosts and died on the battlefield that day, and of course, some of them were the work of the old man Huangya.
"Awake?" Ke Tianxu took his eyes off the bamboo slips, raised his eyes and glanced at Ling Xiao for a moment, and then continued to bury his head in browsing the seal characters.
Ling Xiao sat on the couch and ignored him, and glanced out of the cliff, where the sun was shining outside, illuminating the entire seat in the distance. She knew it was too early again. She sighed imperceptibly, silently thinking, such a day is not good, it can't be wasted like this day by day, and she has to think of a way to get out of here quickly.
The key is that now that Ling Xiao's martial arts have been sealed, he is no different from a weak woman, and it is estimated that even the maid is sad, and he has to come up with a certain certain strategy.
Ke Tianxu raised his head and glanced at Ling Xiao again, seeing that those cold eyes were slowly turning, and his calm words came into her ears coldly: "Don't think about running away from me with your own strength, or doing stupid things like the night before, because you don't have that chance." Besides, there is only one way down the cliff, and even if you are given freedom, you will not be able to get out without my order. ”
Ke Tianxu's voice fell, but after a long time, what responded to him was the silence of the room. He was a little speechless, he really didn't know if it was a woman or an arrogant ice cube that he had caught and ignored him like this. However, he didn't care about this, and then gave an order to the people outside the door, and soon a few maids brought toiletries and meals.
Before Ling Xiao finished his food, a subordinate hurriedly walked in from outside the door and whispered a few words to Ke Tianxu. Ke Tianxu's expression changed, and he put down the bamboo slip and walked out with the man.
Ling Xiao looked at the back that disappeared around the corner of the door, felt his whole body loosen, put down his chopsticks and asked the maid, "By the way, where did the things I brought on my body go that day?" Especially that mirror. ”
"It was put away by the door owner. However, the master of the door has instructed that if the lady wants, the slave can take it at any time. The maid looked at her, and her voice was soft and humble.
Ling Xiao picked up the handkerchief on the lacquer plate and wiped his mouth, then turned his head to look at the maid: "Okay, you go and get it for me." ”
The Kun Bone Mirror is very important, although Ling Xiao still doesn't know what kind of function it has, but it is a stunning mirror after all. Since Yanling Chu was handed over to her, she couldn't afford to lose, and she had to escape with the mirror.
The maid quickly went and returned, this time to Ling Xiao's surprise, except for the dagger, everything else was returned to her intact. But on second thought, there was no way he would have returned the dagger to her. Among the things in front of her were the two pills in the porcelain bottle, which were given to her by the Yuanqu Dao Leader that day. In addition, the first thing she saw among these items was the bamboo flute.
Ling Xiao gave the maid a look, pointed to the meal that she hadn't eaten much, and waved her hand, "Withdraw it." ”
"Ma'am, is the food not to taste? You haven't eaten much these days, but you can't go hungry. The maid frowned slightly, a little worried. Her master had told her to take care of her new master.
Ling Xiao replied casually, "No." You just have to ask someone to take it down. ”
The weather was a little hot in the afternoon, but Ling Xiao was not afraid. She sat there motionless, holding the mirror in her hand and looking at it over and over for a long time, but she found no clue other than quaintness. At the same time, at this moment, she was also thinking about the acupuncture points on her body, and she still didn't know where the acupoints that sealed her skills were. She was caught off guard by what happened that day, and she was not prepared at all. However, there was one thing she had been sure of in this war, and that was that this time the people who flew through the cliff had been defeated, and it seemed to be serious.
Lu Ci led his men through the forest for several days, and now he unconsciously stepped into a place filled with miasma. This time, there were few of them, and Lu Ci was alert, and when he noticed something unusual, he let everyone take the potion, so they seemed to be relaxed about walking through the miasma land. Once in the area, they quickly dispersed, searching carefully.
The ancient trees in the forest are towering, the environment is dim and blurred, Lu Ci used the scabbard to remove the layers of branches and leaves in front of him, and every step was very cautious. At this time, there was a roaring leopard cry not far away, and after the leopard's roar, a woman's scream was faintly heard, and the movement gradually became louder, as if someone moved his hand.
Lu Ci was shocked in his heart, and quickly thought of something, so he turned around and hurried in that direction. As a result, when he really arrived and saw the scene in front of him, he was a little speechless for a moment, and the eagerness and nervousness in his heart disappeared without a trace.
This scene was really ironic, which made Lu Ci want to laugh, but he did laugh unkindly, and inexplicably had the appearance of watching the play. The woman who screamed just now was actually Meng Xiluo, who was fighting with her leopard at this time, and the fight was very fierce. He was a little surprised, the leopard was the treasure that this vain woman was proud of, and she turned against her so quickly, if it was spread out, I was afraid that others would laugh.
"That's not right! This leopard is going crazy and losing his mind. It seems that it has been suppressed in itself for many years, and no one recognizes it. It's really dangerous to keep such a beast around, and this woman can be regarded as self-inflicted. Lu Ci muttered to himself, he stood in the dark and observed for a moment, and saw the clue.
The problem is in the leopard, at this moment it is already crazy, even the things around it have been attacked, and Meng Xiluo is even more violent, so that Meng Xiluo's expression has changed, her eyes are full of fear, and she is in a hurry to deal with it.
