291 Trial I
Ling Jiantong didn't know why she was standing in front of the door of Zhenguo Mansion, but he knew that this was the only place she could think of taking revenge on Hua Yue.
Hua Yue is too powerful, and the Zhongzhou Continent can compete with him, except for Situ Qianchen, there is no second candidate.
Ling Jiantong glanced up at the three big characters "Zhenguo Mansion" written on the plaque, and then walked in resolutely with his eyes down.
The guards guarding the door did not stop her, and this time there was no black eagle standing at the door to guide her, and the maids or subordinates who passed by her were not much surprised when they saw Ling Jiantong, but saluted and called her "young lady" very methodically.
Ling Jiantong didn't respond, it's really ridiculous to think about it, four years ago, she and Situ Qianchen didn't even worship in the hall, where did Lian Li come from?
Walking to the hall, Situ Qianchen did not go to court, and sat there leisurely drinking tea, as if he had known that she would come to him.
Ling Jiantong walked in front of him, Situ Qianchen raised his eyes, and a calm face showed a smile after seeing Ling Jiantong: "Back?" ”
Ling Jiantong didn't know what he meant when he said that he was back, but Ling Jiantong also knew that compared to Huayue, Situ Qianchen was not much better, and she didn't want to play with him, so she went straight to the point and said, "Let's make a deal." ”
The corners of Situ Qianchen's mouth were still curved, and he stretched out his hand to signal Ling Jiantong to sit down, and then poured her a cup of tea unhurriedly: "Come, tell me carefully, why didn't Hua Yue want you?" ”
Ling Jiantong's heart tightened, and a hint of banter flashed in Situ Qianchen's eyes, staring at him directly, as if he was looking at his prey.
Ling Jiantong looked away and said coldly, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you. ”
"Don't, since we're going to talk about a deal, we might as well talk about it, so I can help you."
Situ Qianchen clearly wanted to tear open the wounds she had covered, so that she would be severely humiliated again in front of everyone.
"Hua Yue deceived me, killed my father, and killed all the villagers of the small mountain village, I want to avenge them."
Although he was not very satisfied, it was not easy for Ling Jiantong to say this, Ling Jiantong was also a stubborn person in his bones, Situ Qianchen knew that he couldn't push her too hard, otherwise she would never give him a second chance without looking back.
"So you're trying to get revenge and want to work with me? Joining forces? ”
"Yes." Ling Jiantong's eyes were firm.
Situ Qianchen took a sip of tea, and his expression was a little meaningful: "Although the reason is reasonable, how do I know that you are not a meticulous work that Hua Yue deliberately sent to kill me?" ”
Sure enough, the old fox is thoughtful.
Ling Jiantong looked at him and said word by word: "Then what do you want?" ”
The corners of Situ Qianchen's lips hooked slightly, put the teacup in his hand on the table, and got up and motioned for Ling Jiantong to come with him.
Ling Jiantong didn't expect that Situ Qianchen would take her to the underground hall of the Seven Star Cabinet.
Baizhu, Xuanshen, and Angelica stood in front of Situ Qianchen in turn, Situ Qianchen sat on a high throne, lowered his eyes and looked down at Ling Jiantong, and then stretched out his hand to signal Baizhu.
Baizhu handed the bottle in his hand to Ling Jiantong.
Ling Jiantong furrowed his brows: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"To prove your resolve, I'm going to let you join my Chest of Seven Stars, of course, there should be a ceremony before you join."
Ling Jiantong chuckled, "Are you asking me to take the poison that obediently obeys your orders?" ”
Situ Qianchen shook his head, since he said: "My Seven Star Chest will never force anyone, this is the trial before joining, as long as you take it, you haven't died within half an hour, then I will cooperate with you and join forces to deal with Huayue." ”
Ling Jiantong thought at first that this was just a test of poison, but when she really drank it, she found that the vision in front of her gradually became blurred, the world was upside down, and the upper and lower eyelids kept fighting, she wanted to hold on and not let Situ Qianchen see the joke, but it didn't take long for the medicine to come up, and Ling Jiantong completely fainted.
Ling Jiantong fell on the main hall, and Situ Qianchen supported his head with one hand, looking at everything reflected in the bronze mirror in front of him.
When Ling Jiantong woke up again, he had already arrived at Fengguo Mansion.
Fengguofu was quiet as usual, even the old servant Boqing who swept the floor was gone, and the Fengguo Mansion was empty, and the atmosphere was completely cold.
Ling Jiantong stood up, wasn't she obviously in the Seven Star Cabinet just now? How did you transfer to this place in an instant?
Ling Jiantong was wondering, and suddenly from behind her, a murderous aura emerged.
Ling Jiantong is no longer Su Ruyi, she still has this ability to dodge, she turned sideways, and the person holding the sword over there seemed to pass by her, standing on the opposite side of her.
Situ Qianchen said that this medicine was a trial, she thought it was just a few masters to compete, but she didn't expect that when she saw that person, her eyes tightened, and it turned out to be Yunyi.
Yun Yi held the sword in his hand and turned to stare at Ling Jiantong, who was a little stunned.
His eyes were unusually angry, Ling Jiantong looked at him, and called out in disbelief: "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Don't call me Daddy!" Yun Yitie's face turned blue, and he almost roared.
Ling Jiantong was stunned for a moment, and watched him raise the blade of the sword in his hand and point it directly at himself: "I don't have a daughter like you, you obviously have the ability to kill Hua Yue, why should you let him go again and again?" Don't you want to avenge me?! ”
Ling Jiantong shook his head again and again, and denied: "No, Dad, it's not like this, I want Hua Yue's life more than anyone else, but I just didn't find a chance, Dad, if you give me a little more time, I will definitely let Hua Yue's villain go down to make amends for you." ”
Yun Yi sneered: "Don't lie to me, if you really want to kill Hua Yue, you would have done it on the boat that day, obviously you had already stabbed him with a sword, why did you still save his life?" Say, don't you just forget him at all, and you still have old feelings for him?! ”
"No, it's not like that, I just think that that way of dying is too cheap for him, I'm just ......"
Ling Jiantong wanted to find a reasonable explanation, but Yun Yi was already angry, and the blade in his hand had already pierced Ling Jiantong's shoulder!
The pain of the bone-eroding came from him, and Ling Jiantong was almost caught by Yun Yi's hateful eyes before he could scream in pain.
"Ling Jiantong, don't forget, how I died tragically in the hands of Hua Yue, if you still recognize me as a father, you should immediately go and take his life to see him, otherwise, I won't be blind to death, and I won't let you go."
"Dad, don't worry, I won't forget...... I ......"
Ling Jiantong grabbed the sword body, wanting to give Yun Yi a guarantee, but the person in front of him suddenly disappeared, but the long sword was still inserted into Ling Jiantong's shoulder.
Ling Jiantong couldn't breathe in pain, her legs only felt weak, and she knelt on the ground, wanting to make the pain lighter, but as soon as the surrounding scene turned, the deserted Fengguo Mansion turned into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye.
The fire crackled and burned everything in the village, Ling Jiantong faintly heard the cry of a child, she couldn't care about the wound on her shoulder, she staggered up, reached out and turned over the burned black pillar, and saw the child hiding in the corner.
Ling Jiantong knew her, she had taken classes in her private school, she was very smart and studious, but why did she come to this dangerous place?
Ling Jiantong's lips were a little white, and her injured left arm couldn't even use any strength, so she could only use her right hand to pull the child away from the fire, and then instructed her, "Why did you run here?" How dangerous it is here, hurry, hurry home. ”
The little girl looked at Ling Jiantong with tears in her eyes: "This is my home, Sister Ruyi, it's all you, it's all you, it's all you who hurt my home like this." ”
Ling Jiantong's eyes tightened, and his eyes inadvertently saw the sound of fighting and shouting not far away.
She looked sideways, only to see that her body was full of corpses, and the death was miserable, there were the three tiger brothers of the family next door, the director of the private school, the second aunt Li who helped her, the little brother Liu who greeted her cordially every day, as well as Grandma Zhao, and Uncle Wang......
They...... All dead.
Ling Jiantong's head suddenly buzzed, and the little girl in front of her took advantage of her unpreparedness, and a knife hidden under her sleeve had already stabbed Ling Jiantong's abdomen.
Ling Jiantong looked back at the little girl in disbelief, the little girl's expression had become completely different from before, her eyes had a fierceness that should not be seen at this age, she glared at Ling Jiantong as if she was looking at an enemy: "It's all your fault, if you weren't hiding in our small mountain village, Hua Yue wouldn't have slaughtered our entire village, and I lost my father and mother, and I lost my home." ”
Huayue ......
Huayue again?!
Before the wound on Ling Jiantong's shoulder could stop bleeding, the blood in his abdomen had already gushed out, and the clothes on Ling Jiantong's body had been stained red with blood.
She couldn't even straighten her waist in pain, but her hand on the little girl's shoulder gradually slipped down, and the little girl's wrist was forced, and the knife was pulled out of Ling Jiantong's abdomen.
Ling Jian's pupils were so painful that it was difficult to breathe, she opened one eye and closed one eye, wanting to apologize to the little girl, but when she raised her eyes again, the scene around her changed again.
Ling Jiantong's face was pale, and the two wounds had been bleeding, and she didn't have time to deal with it at all, and suddenly fell into a familiar embrace.
This embrace is very warm, and it is the embrace that Ling Jiantong once thought could give her to rely on in this life.
She raised her eyes slightly, and saw Mu Jinghong's face.
Mu Jinghong hugged her, doing everything he could to send all the warmth to her cold body, Ling Jiantong's blood-stained hand slowly moved to Mu Jinghong's face, she wanted to confirm whether the one in front of her was real or illusory?
The real touch of the palm made the corners of Ling Jian's lips rise slightly, it was true, Mu Jinghong was really alive.
"Eyes," he whispered softly to her name.
