Chapter 15: Chrysanthemums on the windowsill

..................

The situation is high and the wind is late, and the mountains and yellow leaves fly.

It's autumn.

In Meixi City, as before, street vendors and stalls are full of people.

The war between the government and the Fuyun Society seems to have had little effect on the people in the city.

The front of Junxiang Building is still lively, and a few prostitutes are busy soliciting customers there.

It's a remote alley with little traffic, leading directly to the backyard of Junxiang Building.

A man wearing a hat and a cloth coat stood silently at the end of the alley.

He had been standing here for two days and two nights.

The man pulled the hat so low that he almost covered his face.

His figure was thin and thin, and he looked very thin in the autumn wind.

Like a scattered autumn leaf,

That kind of loneliness and helplessness.

But in his hand he carried a gorgeous sword that did not match the cloth.

His eyes kept staring at the windowsill in the backyard of Junxiang Building.

The window was kept tightly closed.

Nothing was put on the windowsill.

............

Shi Yue stared blankly at the window where nothing was placed.

There is no red chrysanthemum, and there is none, yellow 'chrysanthemum.

Cheerless.

............

He turned around and walked down the alley.

Extreme loneliness, emptiness,

Sad.

He no longer has a relative,

There are only enemies.

The court is arresting him as a deserter,

The people of the Fuyun Society are looking for revenge on him,

There is hatred and crisis everywhere.

He looked up to the sky and took a deep breath and smiled bitterly.

The scars on his face were old and new, and he felt full of vicissitudes.

A man dressed in black, wearing a black hat with a black veil hanging around the hat, walked behind him ghostly.

The man in black followed him gently, watching him closely.

The wound on Tu Yue's body ached, and he leaned against the wall and gasped.

His injuries were a bit severe.

His heart was already very cold, and he was really disappointed and tired of everything that had been around him.

He didn't want to live in that environment anymore.

He finally made up his mind and decided to flee.

The man in black looked at him motionlessly.

"General!"

Shi Yue was startled, turned around suddenly, and grabbed the sword tightly with his hand.

He stared at the black ghost in amazement, a hint of fear spreading throughout his body.

Seeing him like this, the man in black sighed leisurely.

"General!"

Shi Yue heard that it was a woman's voice, and his heart jumped urgently.

Feng Peony: "I really didn't expect you to come!"

Shi Yue: "It's you!"

Feng Peony: "You're still here!"

Feng Peony: "I've been watching you, you've been waiting here for two days and two nights!"

Shi Yue looked at her carefully, wanting to see the face behind the black veil,

I want to see the heart behind this black veil.

Shi Yue: "You know I'm here, why don't you come out?"

Shi Yue: "Red Ju or Yellow Ju? You have to let me understand." ”

Feng Peony sighed and lowered his head: "Don't stare at me like this, you can't see me clearly." ”

Shi Yue: "......"

Feng Muan was silent for a while, then raised his head: "General, you hurry up and leave Junxiang Tower! There are people from the Fuyun Society everywhere here, once they know that you are here, it is impossible for them to let you get out alive easily!"

Shi Yue: "What am I afraid of? I am already a homeless person, whether I live or die, I just resign myself to fate." ”

Feng Peony stared at him for a long time, and sighed faintly.

Feng Peony: "You weren't in the barracks, but you came here...... I know the smiling wolf is so vicious to you...... But you're really here!"

Shi Yue: "You...... Would you like to come with me?"

Feng Peony looked at him and was speechless for a long time.

Feng Peony: "General!"

Feng Peony bowed his head: "General, you don't really love me!"

Shi Yue: "But I'm here, doesn't this prove that I have you in my heart." ”

Feng Peony sighed: "However, you don't really have me in your heart. ”

Feng Peony: "I'm just a Qinglou woman in your heart. ”

Feng Peony: "You need me, just want my enthusiasm for you...... But you, from the bottom of your heart, don't approve of me!"

Shi Yue sighed: "So, you won't leave?"

Feng Peony shook his head slightly.

Feng Peony: "Who I am, you don't know at all!"

Shi Yue: "Why do I want to know who you are? I just know that you are Feng Peony." ”

Feng Peony sighed lightly: "......"

Seeing her like this, Shi Yue was silent for a while, then turned around and wanted to leave.

Feng Peony: "General, where are you going now?"

Shi Yue sighed: "I don't know either." ”

Feng Peony: "Won't the general return to the barracks?"

Shi Yue smiled bitterly: "Can you go back to the barracks?!"

He set his eyes on the distance of nothingness,

It was gloomy.

Heading, where?

He sighed lowly.

Shi Yue: "Let's die at the end of the world!"

He picked up his sword and wanted to leave.

Feng Peony: "General, your son has been taken captive by the people of the Fuyun Society!"

Shi Yue was shocked: "What?!"

Feng Peony: "You go to Baogukou and wait, the people of the Fuyun Society will take the little boy to pass by there tonight!"

Shi Yue panicked, and he glared at the woman in front of him suspiciously.

Shi Yue: "How do you know? Shi Mansion has a master, how can it be possible to kidnap Xuan'er?"

Feng Peony: "Mrs. Zun took the little prince to the mountain to offer incense a few days ago, and the people of the Fuyun Society sent a master to take him captive!"

Shi Yue: "Then how do you know that they will go to Baogukou?"

Feng Peony: "Your officers and soldiers plan to destroy the Beiwang Mansion this time, and the Beiwang Mansion came up with this idea in order to protect itself, and took the little prince as a hostage to blackmail you." ”

Shi Yue stared at the woman suspiciously,

Shi Yue: "How do you know?

Feng Peony: "......"

She sighed.

Feng Peony: "Meixi is full of people from the Fuyun Society. ”

Feng Peony: "Junxianglou...... It's the same!"

Shi Yue glared at her, this was a strange and mysterious woman.

I don't know why, but he believed her words.

Shi Yue turned around and wanted to leave, but stopped again, and untied the money bag on his body and gave it to this woman.

Shi Yue: "You take it, I originally wanted to use them to redeem you." You'd better get out of Junxiang Building, it's not a place for a woman to stay for a long time. ”

Feng Peony stood still and did not take the money bag.

Shi Yue put the money bag on the ground, turned around and ran.

Feng Peony watched him disappear in a daze.

The face behind the black veil, I don't know what the expression is.

After a long time, she squatted down and picked up the money bag on the ground, and watched for a long time.

A dark figure stood behind her.

She stood up, turned around, and screamed in fright.

Feng Peony: "Cloud King!"

She turned her head to look,

Shi Yue had already run away.

..................

Baogukou, the branches of the woods are luxuriant, the wind blows the leaves, and the "rustle" sounds.

The night is getting darker, and the moon is on the tip.

Shi Yue sat on the ground with his back against the tree pole.

He had been lying down at the mouth of the valley for a long time, and he had not seen a single figure.

The cool breeze blew on his thin body.

Shi Yue felt tired, and he closed his eyes slightly to rest.

The injuries on the body are too serious, many of them have not healed, and the slightest movement will cause blood to leak out.

It hurts so much.

Gradually, he fell asleep.

............

He was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves.

He snapped his eyes open, poking out through the gaps in the leaves.

A group of men and horses hurried towards the mouth of the valley.

Shi Yue saw that there was a person in the middle holding a child.

The child's head was covered with a cloth, and his face could not be seen clearly.

Shi Yue did not hesitate and jumped out.

The horse team was shocked, and the leader shouted "Who!"

Shi Yue: "Put down the child!"

Someone in the horse team exclaimed, "Black-hearted snake!"

The child was awakened, and he danced his hands and ripped the cloth off his head.

Shi Yue saw that it was Shi Xiaoxuan.

Shi Yue: "Xuan'er!"

When Shi Xiaoxuan saw him, he waved his hands in surprise and shouted.

Shi Xiaoxuan: "Dad, Dad!"

Shi Yue: "You put down the child!"

The leader sneered: "Then we have to see, the weapons in our hands are not allowed!"

Shi Yue closed his lips tightly, didn't want to talk nonsense, jumped up, and slashed with his sword!

The two sides violently exchanged hands.

If in the past, these dozen or so people would definitely not be Shi Yue's opponents. However, Shi Yue's injuries were too serious, and the pain was unbearable, and his strength gradually fell.

Shi Yue was anxious to save his son, he couldn't care about everything, waved down a few, and jumped over to snatch the child.

The crowd rushed forward and competed for each other.

They had already seen that Shi Yue's strength was floating, and his moves were weaker than the other.

Knowing that the man couldn't cope with it a few times, he swung his weapon and slashed at him.

Shi Yue was really powerless to resist the enemy and fell heavily to the ground.

He thrust his sword into the ground, barely bracing his body, panting weakly.

Hold the child tightly in your hands.

The child also hugged his father tightly.

The people of the Fuyun Society were like wolves and tigers, slowly surrounding them.

The weapon in his hand emitted a cold light.

Shi Yue used all his strength, wanting to draw his sword and swing it, but his strength was weak, and his whole body was only trembling, how could he still resist the enemy!

A trace of despair passed through Shi Yue's heart.

But he was in pain,

Not for myself, for the sake of this child in my arms.

If you are so young, you have to die innocently.

And he really doesn't have the ability to protect him!

At this moment, his heart was like a knife.

At this time, with a "suddenly" sound, a black shadow descended from the sky and blocked in front of him.

He looked up in surprise and saw that it was Gao Yunpeng, who was dressed in a black robe and had a pale face!

The people of the Resurrection Society saluted him in unison.

"Cloud King!"

Gao Yunpeng looked at Shi Yue, his eyes were like torches.

Shi Yue stood up vigorously and stared at the person in front of him tightly.

Gradually, he saw no murderous aura in the eyes of this man.

Shi Yue hugged the child tightly and stepped back step by step.

Gao Yunpeng remained motionless and looked at him quietly.

Shi Yue took a few steps back, picked up the child, jumped out of the encirclement with a "suddenly" sound, and fled.

The crowd wanted to pursue,

Gao Yunpeng stopped them,

With a wave of his hand,

Everyone shouted in unison, "Whoa!" and bow to him and stand back.
