The voice is light, and there is no coolness of the party.

"Do you remember what the landlord said to you?"

He turned his face away, took the jar of wine in his hand, and looked out the window into the night.

"You've said so much, where do I remember which one you were referring to?"

Xia Xiaoxiao replied to him impatiently, moved all the wine jars on the table to the side, sat down, Murong Tianlian wanted to pour the wine jars in his hand like this, Xia Xiaoxiao quickly snatched it away again, "It's just an antidote, you can give Beigong Pheasant away, why can't you save Beigong Yu by the way?" ”

"Green peacock, you have done so much evil before, this time the right is regarded as a virtue, you gave it to me, I will thank you for the rest of my life!"

Xia Xiaoxiao stared at him expectantly, as long as he could be a little soft-hearted.

But Murong Tinglian smiled, "When did the owner of the building care about those in his life?"

Answering as expected, Xia Xiaoxiao really couldn't figure out Murong Tianlian's soft and hard temperament, Murong Tianlian turned his head to look at her, the smile on the corner of his mouth was taken back little by little, looking at the sake poured into the bowl from her hand, and said slowly, "Ye Qi'er, the owner of this building once asked you, if one day Beigong Yu and Beigong Pheasant are separated from only one person who can live, who will you choose." ”

The movement in Xia Xiaoxiao's hand paused, and the half bowl of wine was poured to the bottom.

"You chose Beigong Pheasant."

His cold and indifferent voice sounded unhurriedly in the inn, mixed with a little wind, Xia Xiaoxiao felt as if he had heard it wrong, "When will I?"

"The two of them were hit by the same kind of poison, and they were born with only one to survive, and the poison of Daigo Miasma was passed down from the past dynasties of the Nanming Kingdom, and all the prescriptions and antidotes were all in the Nanming Emperor's Mausoleum, which was the reason why Beigong Pheasant Li made up his mind to hunt down and kill Chu Boyuan when he knew that Chu Boyuan had no way to provide the antidote." He stretched out his hand and lifted the wine bowl that Xia Xiaoxiao had already emptied, and drank it in one gulp, "These, the little imperial doctor beside Beigong Yu should have already told you." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao tried his best to calm the little wave in his heart that was set off by Murong Tianlian, and put down the wine jar with a slight trembling hand, "He said it, but Chu Bo is far from having an antidote, don't you have it here?"

His hands were slowly clenched, how could it be, didn't he say that there was nothing Murong Tianlian couldn't do? Isn't it just to take out another antidote to Daigo Miasma, since Beigong Pheasant can solve its toxicity, why can't Beigong Yu?

She forced a smile, "Green peacock, don't you want to bang me again"

But as soon as he raised his eyes, he crashed into Murong Lian's deep ink eyes, without the contemptuous toying like he usually did.

"There is only that one last antidote to Daigo, since you have already chosen Beigong Pheasant, then you can only watch Beigong Yu die."

He said lightly, as if he never cared about which of the two of them lived or died, and it was also, anyway, it didn't do him any harm.

If only one of them could be saved, who would she choose?

scold

At that time, Xia Xiaoxiao just felt that this was just a joke from Murong Tianlian, how could she Xia Xiaoxiao be able to control the life and death of the two of them?

Now it seems that everything is just a game of Murong Tilting.

"If you knew there would be this day, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

All the calmness seemed to collapse at this moment, Beigong Pheasant was gone, but she could only watch Beigong Yu die? What is this choice?

Xia Xiaoxiao swept all the wine jars on the table to the ground at once, making an abrupt sound, shattering the debris and fragments on the ground, and several deep and shallow cuts were also made on her hands.

Murong Qianlian's gaze fell on the back of her injured hand, "What if you know that there is only one antidote from beginning to end?" He reminded expressionlessly, "Then you will watch the Beigong Pheasant leave and die?" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao's expression froze, and from Murong Qianlian's eyes, she saw indifference and ridicule that she had never seen before.

Thinking back and forth about Murong Tianlian's words, could she watch Beigong Pheasant die in such a painful way?

Suddenly came to mind the appearance of Beigong Pheasant who was suffering from poison and pain, such a gentle Beigong Pheasant, Beigong Pheasant who was obedient to her, his joys, sorrows and sorrows were all reflected in her mind one by one, how could she watch him die?

On the table, there was only one candle that was bright, and when the breeze blew in, the light and shadow flickered, and a drop of liquid fell on the table, next to Xia Xiaoxiao's hand.

"Murong Tinglian, this is your purpose, isn't it?"

She stared at Murong Tilt's face, a demonic, invincible face, like a poppy blooming in the mountains, beautiful and full of poison.

Whether it is Beigong Yu or Beigong Pheasant, sure enough, from the beginning, his purpose was not the two brothers, but her.

Not only to kill her, but also to make her miserable? No matter who she chooses, if someone really has to die, she can't be at ease in her life, and she can only live in condemnation and torture her?

"Wild Sparrow" Murong tilted his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on her face, but he didn't want to be taken back by Xia Xiaoxiao and dodged it, looking at him with stunned eyes, "It's good to see you sad about me, isn't it?" You're happy to see me at a loss and running over to you like this, aren't you? It's fun to play with everyone's lives in the palm of your own hand, isn't it? ”

She retreated step by step, she felt that Murong was cold-blooded, and she had been afraid of him, afraid that he would kill her, but there had never been a moment when she had felt that he was so terrible, even if he had done something like that to her.

"Ahh

Suddenly, she tripped on a table and chair under her feet, and the person fell straight back, and her head was about to hit the corner of the table, but a light force suddenly hit her waist

Murong Tinglian caught Xia Xiaoxiao's figure, and with a burst of strength, the bench that had just stumbled under her feet turned into powder in an instant, "Isn't it good that he's dead?" No one will send those people to track down your whereabouts, and no one will use all means to force you back to that deep palace," the chill between his eyebrows suddenly turned into an indescribable tenderness, "Wild Sparrow, I can accompany you in the rivers and lakes you want."

"But Beigong Yu is gone"

Xia Xiaoxiao grabbed his sleeve tightly, tightened it little by little, and finally couldn't stop crying, "Beigong Yu is gone, how can I live well"

The rivers and lakes she wants, even if she is not by his side, at least Beigong Yu has to live well, her hand grabbed him hard, as if this is the only way to keep herself from falling, "Green Peacock, I know you can, you help me, you want to find a way, aren't you the owner of the Red Guest House, isn't there nothing in this world that you can't do?"

She grabbed his shirt tightly with both hands, crying hysterically, tears and snot all rubbed on his shirt, Murong Tianlian's thin lips tightened a little bit, and the hands that clasped her shoulders gradually strengthened, and there was a hidden pain in her eyes, "Xia Xiaoxiao, do you really love him so much?" ”

"Love me love him, I love him" She kept sobbing, and even her speech became incoherent, "I thought I could live well alone even if he wasn't by my side, but Green Peacock, you don't know what I've relied on in the past two years, it's not good without him, it's not good at all, I can't stand it if he's not by my side, what if he's really gone"

I don't know when it started, I don't know when I cared so much, I don't know when I didn't dare to imagine that he was not in this world, she thought that she was very comfortable in the days without him, but whenever she passed by a place, she couldn't help but go to the most lively storytelling place in the neighborhood, occasionally heard his news, and often heard the news of his war.

Just a little bit, a little bit of news about how he is doing is enough, but when she thinks that one day in the future, she will never see Beigong Yu again, and she will never be able to hear about Emperor Yue Hua's great achievements from the downtown area, as long as she thinks of it, she feels breathless, and she can't wait for him to die, so she will follow suit.

Murong Tianlian's eyes gradually became darker, as if there was a touch of imperceptible gloom.

She said that she was not good, her good or bad, it turned out that it was only because of one person, it was like this before, and it is still like this now.

But when she looked at the crystal tears on her face, her heart couldn't help but squeeze together, and in her eyes, there was never only that person.

Xia Xiaoxiao's crying overshadowed for a while, like the heaviest boulder pressing on his heart, making it difficult for people to breathe, Murong closed his eyes heavily, and slowly spit out two words in his mouth, "Xuan Lianhua"

Vaguely heard Murong Tinglian's voice, Xia Xiaoxiao's sobbing voice was stopped little by little, and suddenly remembered two words, immortality

"Yes, Xuan Lianhua," she choked, her mouth kept muttering, Xuan Lianhua, totem, whoever gets it gets what the world wants, countless treasures, and there is still the art of immortality that the world wants

She has always believed in legends, but there has never been a moment when her hope is true like now, and she struggled to get out of Murong Tianlian's arms, turned around and wanted to walk outside the inn.

"Xia Xiaoxiao!"

Before the person walked out of the inn, Murong Tianlian's figure had already fallen in front of him, "What's the use of you going?" Do you think you'll really find a way to save him? Not to mention that now Xia Yingxi just wants to lead you to Xuanlianhua! ”

Putting aside whether the rumors are true or not, the situation on the rivers and lakes is now turbulent, the army of the imperial court, the forces of the rivers and lakes, which side is not coveted now? The art of immortality, Beigong Yu must have known this news, but even he and Beigong Yu are not 100% sure that they will be able to go to Kou Island, let alone Xia Xiaoxiao, a woman who doesn't even have martial arts.

Xia Xiaoxiao stopped, wiped the tears on his face, and looked at him stubbornly, "Look, you also know that the assassin that day was Xia Yingxi, and you also know that the purpose of what she did was to lead me to Xuanlianhua, does it mean that the matter of the totem is really related to me?" ”

What the world is looking for, what is hidden in the totem, if it really has something to do with her and Xia Yingxi, no matter how difficult it is ahead, even if she knows that there is a trap ahead, she has to go.

Faintly, she seemed to know why Beigong Yu had made up her mind after seeing Xia Yingxi that she would rather return to the palace than go to Xuanlianhua again.

Murong Qianlian's expression changed slightly, and he turned his face away, "No." ”

"Green peacock, you never deceive people."

Xia Xiaoxiao stared at his eyes and said word by word.

Outside the window, the moonlight was shining, but Murong Qianlian changed the topic again, "Xia Xiaoxiao, how much do you love Beigong Yu?" ”

The same question, he asked for the second time tonight.

"I love it."

Xia Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, and all that came to her mind was Beigong Yu's appearance, happy, angry, angry, and ridiculed.

"Then don't go."

He had already turned around, there was a dark light floating in the deep dark ink pupils, and his figure just blocked Xia Xiaoxiao's way, and every word was extremely clear in the wind.

"What if I have to go?"

Xia Xiaoxiao also looked at him very firmly.

Murong Tianlian's sword eyebrows tightened little by little, and there was no doubt in his deep voice, "Xia Xiaoxiao, you will regret it, definitely." ”

"Regrets? How could it be," she smiled silently, her closed eyes open, and tears still hanging from her eyes, "even if you regret it?" Now I will definitely regret if I don't go, and if there is a day you say, at least I can regret it later, right? ”

Her voice with a faint and fearless smile spread in her ears, and Murong Tinglian lost her mind for a moment, as if the person standing in front of her had changed his face, as if many years ago, that person had said the same thing to him like this, at least she could regret it later, but she regretted it after all.

When he woke up from his trance, he suddenly laughed bitterly.

Before Xia Xiaoxiao could react, he saw Murong Lian put his hand in his mouth and let out a long whistle, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves galloping came from the depths of the silent streets and alleys in the middle of the night.

The horse stopped at the door of the inn, and Murong Tianlian had already stepped on the horse's back before her and stretched out his hand to her.

"What do you do?"

Xia Xiaoxiao looked at his hand and stood in place without moving.

"Aren't you going to Xuanlianhua?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, but there was not much expression on his face, "Your life belongs to the owner of this building, if it is taken away by others, won't it become a joke?" ”

"Green Peacock"

Xia Xiaoxiao looked at him, a burst of sourness surged up the tip of her nose, how could she not know, he was just worried about what happened to her on the road alone, and the road to Xuanlianhua was indeed not smooth now.

"The owner of this building doesn't have the heart to listen to you, if you don't go, you just wait for Beigong Yu to arrest you and go back to the imperial city."

Murong Tinglian was impatient by her crying, frowned and withdrew his hand, and was about to raise his horse.

"Go, go, go! Green peacock, you wait for me."

Xia Xiaoxiao wiped her snot and hurriedly stepped forward, I don't know if she was crying so hard or she was injured on her body, she didn't climb on the horse's back for a long time, she opened her hands slightly towards him, and looked up at Murong Tianlian pitifully with a wrinkled little face, "I can't go up the green peacock"

"You really are"

Murong Tianlian stared at her impatiently, but when he saw the tears still in the corners of her eyes, he still sighed helplessly, bent down and hugged her to himself.

As soon as he sat down, he heard Murong Tilt behind him shouting, and the horse immediately galloped in one direction on the street in the middle of the night!

From the moment the person got on the horse, Fan Wanrong in the inn finally noticed that something was wrong, but when the people drove out, where was there still Murong Tianlian and the others in the long street?

She stood there in a daze, but soon, she raised her foot and wanted to chase after her.

"What are you hoping for?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him.

"Isn't it really okay?"

Fan Wanrong looked at the direction in which they disappeared, and this time she couldn't take a single step.

Fan Shuhuan had already come to her, and he also looked at the direction in which the two disappeared, patted Fan Wanrong's back, and sighed helplessly, "Where is there anything you can't do, it's just that person doesn't have you in his heart."

"Brother" she turned around, her face was already covered with tears, and she kept sobbing, "Where am I not as good as Xia Xiaoxiao?" Haven't I been nice enough to him these days? Why can't he see me? ”

In the half month that Xia Xiaoxiao was away, she did everything she could for him, and she was always by his side, she thought that he would continue to stay here, at least he had no intention of leaving, and she even fantasized about whether he would stay here like this.

But she didn't expect that the reason why he stayed here was just waiting for Xia Xiaoxiao, and as soon as Xia Xiaoxiao came back, he left so simply that even in the end, he almost forgot about her existence.

Fan Shuhuan hugged Fan Wanrong into his arms, patted her back gently, and the indescribable distress in his eyes, this was the first time Fan Wanrong had cried so hysterically since she was so old.

However, where can the human heart be obtained through hard work?

Love is destined to be unfair, some people can break into that person's heart without much effort, and some people can't get back a look back in their lives, otherwise where in this world will there be so many unsatisfactory infatuated men and women?

But partially, everyone is going to the grave.

The cool breeze blew, and the full moon in the sky was hidden in the hazy clouds, and the horses were too fast to see things on either side.

Murong Tianlian put one hand in front of Xia Xiaoxiao's abdomen, one hand tightly grasped the reins, and his whole body was almost pressed against Xia Xiaoxiao's back, the cool breeze passed by, and Xia Xiaoxiao smelled the strong smell of wine exuding from him.

Uncontrollably, I once again remembered what happened that night in my mind, the fierce and indifferent Murong Tilt.

She held her breath and reached to take away the hand he had placed on her waist, and tried to move her body forward.

Sensing Xia Xiaoxiao's movements, Murong Tian's eyes shone slightly, and a touch of gloom flashed in his eyes, "Don't worry, the same mistake will not be made by the owner of this building a second time, you don't have to guard against me," After speaking, he paused, and did not forget to add, "I will fall." ”

"Oh"

Xia Xiaoxiao's hand that had not yet fallen on the back of his hand paused, and finally put it back honestly, also holding the reins tightly.

Murong Tinglian glanced down at her, at such a close distance, the breath on her body all fell to the tip of his nose with the direction of the wind, which made people feel calm.

Suddenly, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a wicked and uninhibited smile, and he asked her as if playfully, "Wild Sparrow, you just went with me again, and you are not afraid that I will really not let you go again?" ”

For half a month, he even suspected that she would never come back at all, even if she promised him.

Xia Xiaoxiao stiffened, she only knew that the road to Xuanlianhua alone was too dangerous, and she only knew that she had to go, and she couldn't be discovered by Beigong Yu, otherwise Beigong Yu wouldn't let her take this risk, causing her to forget to think about this problem the moment she got on the horse.

She turned her head slightly, her bright eyes in the night stared at Murong Tianlian's face motionlessly, and the moonlight fell on his face, which was indescribably pleasing to the eye, but she still asked with a hint of caution and uncertainty, "Will you?" Green peacock? ”

Murong Tianlian's eyes trembled slightly, and then the corners of his mouth flashed with a trace of disdainful mockery, "The owner of this building is not interested in trapping you." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, Murong Tianlian was also true to his words, turned around and sat down again, letting the cold wind hit his face, cold.

Murong Tinglian gave her a different feeling from Beigong Pheasant, there is no doubt that he is full of danger, how can the owner of the Murong Building, who is feared by everyone on the rivers and lakes, not be dangerous?

What is hidden under that evil and demonic face is the murderous violence, but from his bones, he can only see the wind and clouds that ignore the state of the world, what power, wealth, human life, emotion, as if everything is not worth mentioning to him, he is scornful and disdainful, so he looks down on Beigong Yu and Beigong Pheasant Li like that.

But I don't know when she started to like this kind of Murong Tilting.

It's different from the liking between men and women, but it's more like a friend or confidant.

He is light and light, unstoppable, but he is also willful, wanton and chic, doing what he wants, drinking what he wants to drink, and going where he wants to go, she still remembers the scene when she drank with Murong Tianlian for the first time, with the pride of the rivers and lakes, informal, with him, she is undoubtedly the most comfortable, exactly the same as the life in the rivers and lakes in her mind.

She loved the two years of being happy with him.

However, she also hoped that Murong Tinglian would like her, and her friends would like her like that.

Don't always think about her life, don't always think about scaring her and intimidate her, and don't always think about taking advantage of her.

doesn't want the relationship between them to change, her heart is given to Beigong Yu, and she doesn't want anyone to be hurt because of this.

Such a good Murong Tilt, a lonely and lonely Murong Tilt, she was reluctant to let him feel sad because of her.

However, at the moment when Xia Xiaoxiao turned around, the smile on Murong Tianlian's face slowly dissipated, his eyes lowered slightly, his eyes were bitter, and his lips moved silently.

I will, Sparrow

"Xia Xiaoxiao, this time you are looking for your own death, if you regret it in the end, don't cry with the owner of the building when the time comes."

Out of the city, straight into the deserted road, Murong Lian's light voice mixed with the sound of the wind sounded in his ears again.

"If I'm really dead, how can I find you?" Let's not talk about what kind of danger Xuan Lianhua is, but no matter how these words fall on Xia Xiaoxiao's ears, it sounds like cursing her for a short time, Xia Xiaoxiao replied angrily, "But if you really die, I will come to take revenge on you if I become a ghost." ”
