Chapter 32 The clouds are not together
Dai Zhen nodded slightly and said, "It was the hall master who said, 'Find Zhu Qin if something happens'." None of them paid attention to me just now, so I took the opportunity to escape. β
Hong Xueyi was stunned and said, "He even told you this." It can be seen that you are really a confidant. β
Dai Zhen didn't know how to answer, so she bowed her head and said nothing.
Hong Xueyi glanced at Dai Scar in a daze, and returned to a haughty posture: "I don't want to owe you a favor in vain, and you don't have to go back to that Lanxin Courtyard, how about coming over to be my handmaiden?" β¦β¦ In this way, the hall master can also talk to you if he has something to do. β
Dai Zhen couldn't have imagined that Red Shelle would do things so unexpectedly, "Is it really okay to keep a woman who will threaten your status by your side?" She couldn't help but ask in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, Hong Xueyi had already walked to the end of the corridor with the autumn remnant dream, and the figures of the two were tired and weak, but they also relied on each other.
It's been four years, and only at this moment, it's the first time their hearts have been so close.
Chapter 6: The Sinking Tide
Huo Shenxi's hand holding the knife was already trembling.
The tiger's mouth was soaked in blood, dripping down the hilt.
He's been practicing for seven hours.
He always persuaded himself to settle down, but there was always a nameless anger and resentment secretly rising in his heart, which made him depressed and irritable.
This kind of emotion is a taboo for practitioners of internal strength, so for the past four years, he has focused all his energy on the cultivation of the sword method - drawing the sword quickly, swinging the knife accurately, and slashing the knife ruthlessly. It's just because he can't find anything to settle down except for such crazy and endless sword practice.
It stands to reason that Huo Shenxi is already a man who has received the greatest favor from God, not only has a solid family and is powerful, but also he is a world-famous young hero, and the most important thing is that he also married Yue Qinghu, the beautiful daughter of the Ministry of Shangshu, as his wife, and his future is even brighter.
There was a sound of broken footsteps behind him, Huo Shenxi suddenly frowned, and a long-suppressed killing intent suddenly rose, he turned around, held the knife in both arms, raised his arm, and cut down, he seemed to vent all his strength on this slash, only to see a few lines of green bamboo in front of him under the attack of such a strong knife qi, one by one from the middle.
"Don't come here if you have nothing to do in the future, if I hadn't made a timely move just now, wouldn't you have been split in half!" Huo Shenxi turned his back coldly, although he asked the other party not to come again, he had to go first. Whenever he faced this poor little woman, he would have a deep sense of disgust.
"Xianggong." The woman called him softly behind her, her voice soft as soft, sweet as honey, and she herself was a dignified and delicate woman. In the face of such a woman, all kinds of steel will turn into finger wrapping, not to mention a pair of flesh and blood intestines of people.
Huo Shenxi was extremely unfamiliar with these two words, just as he was to the woman in front of him who was his wife. The reason why he stopped for these two words was because it reminded him that he was already a family man, and that was what really disgusted him.
"Don't call me that in the future, it's just a 'noble' decree, not what I want."
"Why do you always hate me so much?" This woman named Yue Qinghu, the single daughter of the dignified official Shangshu, should have a commanding and arrogant posture, but at this moment, she grabbed her husband's shirt as if pleading, "What do I do that you hate, please tell me, I can change it!" β
Huo Shenxi turned his head and said, "You're not wrong anywhere!" "He himself seems to have been confusedβwhether he hates the innocent woman in front of him, or whether he hates fate." Even if I didn't marry Shangshu's daughter, she still loves him, so what is it if I'm so decadent? He pressed his chest gently, and there was still a dull ache buried here, even if it was four years later, it would secretly attack when he didn't know it.
Huo Shenxi suddenly felt very sorry for this Shangshu daughter who was obedient to him in every way and flattered him in every way. She was supposed to be a proud woman, but in order to win even the slightest warmth he had as a husband, she threw away her armor and suffered a lot of grievances.
"Let's have dinner together!" He finally softened his words.
"Okay!" Yue Qinghu was happy like a child who had just gotten the sugar cake, and happiness came forward to hold Huo Shenxi's hand.
Huo Shenxi found out that this was the first time they had held her hand since they got married.
There were four plates of delicate and delicate dishes on the table, all of which were made by Yue Qinghu herself, she was a good wife and mother who was suitable.
"Xianggong, you can taste the treasure stuffed sea cucumber I made." Yue Qinghu smiled and served Huo Shenxi a bowl of ginseng soup.
Huo Shenxi only felt that there was a hot air in front of him, and the aroma was fragrant, and he suddenly felt that his appetite increased, and when he was about to pick up a spoon to drink, a small servant suddenly came in and reported: "Someone brought this thing with a small life." He presented the thing in his hand with both hands, and it turned out to be a crystal clear purple jade.
Huo Shenxi stood up in surprise and joy and asked, "What is the appearance of the person who gave you this thing?" β
The little maid said: "It's a cold woman wearing a veil, she said to be waiting for you at Chen Ji Restaurant!" β
Huo Shenxi didn't wait for the little guy to finish speaking, and ran out of the door as if flying, leaving Yue Qinghu to sit stunned, and finally cried.
Chen Kee Restaurant.
Huo Shenxi couldn't wait to rush in.
At a glance, he saw the woman in red sitting alone in a corner upstairs, the source of all his pain. Even so, he still has to think, to read, and to pain.
In life, only the people you care about can make you painful.
Huo Shenxi walked upstairs with a complicated and tangled mood and sat down in front of the woman in red.
"It's been four years, what has she become?" Huo Shenxi secretly speculated in his heart.
"Big brother!" The woman in red lifted the veil with a smile, it was the face that Huo Shenxi thought about day and night, and her voice was still as delicate and tactful as it was back then, but unfortunately she was no longer like the people of the past: her eyes were no longer pure, but full of confusion and loss, and at the same time full of ruthlessness and determination, she was no longer the lively and playful little sister Hong Xueyi back then.
"You...... How are you doing, I mean you follow him? Huo Shenxi suddenly became stupid, he had a thousand words, but he didn't know where to start.
ββ¦β¦ It's still the most authentic rose dew in Jiangdu, and I can't even drink it in Fancheng. Red Shaeh casually changed the subject.
Huo Shenxi's eyes looked at the palm of her cup, only to find that there was still a gauze belt wrapped around it, and the red blood stains were still faintly visible.
"It's a new injury, what's going on?" Huo Shenxi asked with great concern.
Hong Xueyi said very indifferently: "Something went wrong!" Her eyes gradually froze, "Senior brother, I came here in person this time, but I want to entrust you with a big matter, but I'm afraid that I ...... It's too hard for you to say yes. β
Huo Shenxi smiled casually and said, "You originally asked Feishu for me to secretly rescue him, and I did it, and then asked me to send two masters to help him, and I did it too." Excuse me, what else can't I do for you? β
Hong Xueyi said word by word: "Kill Ni Xinyan." β
Huo Shenxi was so shocked that his wine glasses fell on the table.
Hong Xueyi continued: "Only by killing Ni Xinyan can he take advantage of the situation, and I found out that he is now in Jiangdu. β
Huo Shenxi said calmly: "I understand. Then he got up, got out of his seat, and was about to go downstairs.
"Are you going to help me or not?" Red Sheikh asked.
"It depends on whether you beg me as Red Snow Yi or as the wife of Autumn Remnant Dream."
"I won't beg you as the wife of Autumn Remnant."
"Why?" Huo Shenxi turned around and asked seriously.
"Because...... I don't want my husband's personality to be humiliated, so before and now, it's my Red Sheikh begging you. β
Huo Shenxi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed out loud, but his eyes were already red: "It seems that I am destined to be a loser." The strength of a true hero is nothing more than a smile of relief, he has undoubtedly achieved this, "It's ββ, little junior sister's favor, how can I not help." β
When the evening is on.
On the stargazing avenue of Jiangdu.
Ni Xinyan's drunken figure gradually emerged from the night.
He tried his best to stand firm and stand still, but unfortunately he was so drunk that he even saw that he had a few more pairs of feet when he walked, and he had no idea that there would be murderous opportunities lurking on such a straight and wide official road.
"Have you had a good time in Tianxianglou?!" Suddenly, a voice came out, startling Ni Xinyan and almost falling.
Less than ten feet ahead, there was a man waiting for him. In such a silent night, coupled with his misty eyes, he could no longer analyze the identity and habits of the other party as quickly as he did when he was awake, but he saw the sword light, the cyan knife light, the knife light that had already spread out before it was unsheathed.
"A knife is a good knife, and a person who wields a knife is by no means an idle person." As Ni Xinyan, who is also a knife player, he was born with a special sensitivity to knives, which has nothing to do with whether he is drunk or awake.
"There are girls in Fancheng, why did you want to come to Jiangdu alone, don't you know that with your current identity and status, it is enough to constitute a reason for many people to kill you?" The man asked quietly.
Ni Xinyan didn't think so at all, but said as if she had met a bosom friend: "Alasββ, I, Ni Xinyan, am reckless in the rivers and lakes, but I can do anything, but women and wine have to choose the best." He continued: "Just ask, where in Zhongzhou can the women and wine be better than Jiangdu, the city of the Son of Heaven!" You say, don't you, Huo Prison Envoy? β
The corners of Huo Shenxi's mouth moved slightly, and the hand holding the knife tightened a little: "Can you still guess that it's me?" β
Ni Xinyan said with a smile: "Qingyue Slashing Knife is famous all over the world; Seventeen slashes, unparalleled in the world, how can I not know? β
Huo Shenxi directly explained his intentions: "I'm here to kill you, there's no reason, just because I want to kill you." β
Ni Xinyan smiled even more happily: "This is great, I have long wanted to learn your knife, if you don't come to me, I will also go to you." β
