Chapter 35: The Killer
Kiyowa rode all the way out of Kyoto, and after a little more in the suburbs, she didn't know where she was going, and the wound on her chest was still bleeding.
Forget it, I did such a thing, why don't I die like this...... She looked at the blue sky with tears in her eyes and stopped in a wood.
At this time, when the cool breeze blew, she shrank a little, turned over and dismounted, lay down under a tree, and fell asleep in a daze.
In her sleep, Hibiscus was softly calling her name, her voice so clear that it seemed to be in her ear.
In the dream, the two were sitting in the courtyard of the villa, and Kiyowa was grinding herbs for her.
"Kiyowa......" Jinzhi called her.
"Huh?" The young Qinghe looked up at Jinzhi.
She was dressed in a white gauze robe, and her whole body was shrouded in a layer of mist. She wore a walker on her head, and the beads hung down to her neck like a curtain of rain. Qinghe looked at her left and right, wanting to see it more really. But she saw that there seemed to be a smile on Hibiscus's face, and she could only see the black mole in the corner of her eye, which loomed in the fog with her crooked eyes.
"No matter what happens in the future, you can't leave me." Jinzhi looked at her with a smile, "If you really want to leave one day, I will leave you voluntarily." ”
"What a stupid thing to say!" Qinghe lowered his head and smiled, inexplicably with tears in his eyes.
"If there really is that day, no matter what happens, you must live well, take a good look at the great rivers and mountains for me, and take care of my eldest brother for me." Hibiscus held his cheek in his hand and turned his head sideways to look into the distance.
Qinghe stretched out his hand to hold her, but when he reached out, he held a handful of white mist in his hand. She called her name in her dreams and ran around looking for her figure, "Hibiscus, Hibiscus!" ”
Kiyowa woke up from her dream with tears in her eyes. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that from a long time ago, Jinzhi had already foreseen that her life would be short, who was going to take her life, and why did she still accept her fate when she knew it?
At this time, she already felt exhausted and bleeding too much. Remembering what Jinzhi had said to her in her dream, she tore a piece of her skirt and wrapped herself around the wound, then turned over and got on her horse, and went in the direction of the villa.
It was already dark, and Qinghe ran in the darkness by the moonlight, and gradually his consciousness began to blur, and finally fell to the ground. The fall was not light, her head buzzed, she rolled over and struggled to get up, and sat against a tree with her eyes closed and rested for a while.
At this time, a person came in the darkness, the man was wearing a hooded cloak, and the whole person was hidden in the shadow of the tree, and he said with sorrow in his tone, "Meng Qinghe, you actually have the face to come back?" ”
"Who are you?" Qinghe opened his eyes weakly, unable to distinguish the direction of the person who came at all.
"Who am I? yes, I don't know who I am......" Wen Li said, wearing half of his mask.
"That's what you're doing behind your back, right?" Qinghe raised his head and looked at him, "Design Tiyun to go down the mountain to Xunhuan Tower, release arrows to poison Tiyun, and let Tiyun live in the Nanwang Mansion...... What exactly is your purpose? ”
"Oh? What a surprise, you know it all......" Wen Li laughed mockingly.
"After talking to my brother on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I noticed that something was wrong when I left the room, no matter how much my brother didn't put a cold arrow on Tiyun, it was an obscene method. If it was an elder brother, he had many ways for Tiyun to get close to Nan Wangye. So then I went back to my brother's room and overheard your conversation. Qinghe clutched his chest and coughed twice.
"Yes, he does have a lot of ideas. But he couldn't bear it! He was reluctant to let Xiao Tiyun leave him, and he was reluctant to let Xiao Tiyun fall in love with Qianwu! You all betrayed Jinzhi one by one, and you all forgot how Geunzhi died at that time! But I remember...... I remember that it was I who went to find her body, and I found her body piece by piece, and then pieced it together and shipped it back......"
Qinghe seemed to be stunned, she lost too much blood and her brain was a little bad, and after a while, she looked at the person in front of her with round eyes, "Are you Wenli?" Isn't it you? ”
"Yes, that's me. How about Meng Qinghe, you're surprised, right? After Hibiscus died, her house in Kyoto suddenly caught fire, and I ran in to get her tablet, and finally died in the fire, and everyone thought I was dead......" Wen Li said, "Don't Xiao saved me, but I was badly burned." At that time, life and death were unknown, but when I came back to life, I was already like this. In the days that followed, I lived in the dark room of the villa. ”
"Wenli ......" Qinghe closed his eyes, tears falling down his eyes, "I didn't even know that you were alive." ”
"You know what? When you killed him, I was already dead! Wen Li sneered.
"You actually followed me to the palace and eavesdropped on me talking to Qianwu......" Qinghe coughed a few times.
"I guess you won't be able to take Xiao Tiyun with you today, but for the sake of safety, I'll still follow...... I've been recuperating for the past few years, and I'm just waiting for this day. It's been eight years, and you know what kind of life I've lived in the past eight years! But it seems that Qianwu has not done much in the past few years, and he didn't even notice it when I sneaked into his mansion. ”
"In the end, I didn't expect it to be you...... I don't know if you still have the face to see Hibiscus when you go down? Let me give you a ride today. Wen Li hooked the corners of his mouth and took out the dagger from his sleeve.
"Hehehe, you killed me more than just venting your anger...... Qinghe gasped with a miserable laugh, "If I die, this matter can be blamed on Qianwu, which just fulfills your jealousy." It's not a moment since you're jealous of Qianwu, you've already secretly promised Qianwu from Jinzhi, how many things have you done to Qianwu behind your back? ”
As he spoke, Qinghe secretly pinched the signal fireworks on his waist in his hand.
"Yes! I'm jealous of a thousand mists. Why is he? He is just a prince, the unsympathetic king of the heavenly family...... In those years, even if he and Jinzhi were recognized as golden boys and girls, wouldn't he still linger in the land of fireworks all day long, going back and forth to the house of the gentleman? He used to say that I was stupid, but now I'm just being toyed with by me......" Wen Li said angrily, "You said that if everyone thought that Qianwu had killed you, what would happen to him in the future?" ”
"Brother won't let him go, let alone Tiyun's relationship with him......" Qinghe said in a hoarse voice, "You're just going to torture Qianwu, aren't you?" You weren't such a ruthless person before! ”
Kiyowa caught the lead of the fireworks bomb between his two fingers.
"As I said a long time ago, from the day my mother and my sister died, I was no longer the courtesy I used to be." Wen Li looked at Qinghe, stepped forward and stepped on her hand holding the fireworks bomb, and twisted her foot hard.
"Meng Qinghe, let me tell you. Even if Qianwu didn't stab you with a sword, you would die today, and you wouldn't be able to escape...... If it weren't for you, the assassin wouldn't have seen the right time to do it, everything would have turned around, Hibiscus wouldn't have died, and my mother and sister wouldn't have died. ”
Qinghe's hand seemed to be broken off by his foot, and the pain in her heart hit, she trembled and opened her five fingers weakly.
At this time, the dagger in Wen Li's hand suddenly pierced down deeply, and it poked at the place where Qianwu had stabbed a sword just now. Kiyowa whimpered in pain, tears falling down her cheeks, "I'm sorry for ...... Hibiscus"
I promised you something in my dream...... I probably can't.
"If there really is that day, no matter what happens, you must live well, take a good look at the great rivers and mountains for me, and take care of my eldest brother for me." Kiyokazu saw Kiyoyuki's face in the fog in front of his eyes.
She is so beautiful, and her beauty makes people jealous, jealous and weak-hearted.
When Wen Li heard this, the corners of her mouth hooked up a mocking smile, and she turned the dagger and twisted it deeply into her chest, "Meng Qinghe, you are just like me, you are all in love, and you are both jealous and vicious people......"
"You don't know how to love ...... at all," Kiyowa gasped and then lost his breath.
Wen Li pulled out his dagger, stood up and looked at her, glanced coldly and left.
Just a moment after he left, Qinghe suddenly coughed violently and gasped rapidly. She barely opened her eyes and pressed the wound with a strip of cloth wrapped around her chest. Blood was pouring from her chest, but she didn't have time to care, and climbed in the direction of the villa step by step.
Before the sun went down, Qianwu took the first step to the back mountain of Xiaojin Mountain, he carried two jars of wine in his hands, folded a lilac branch, walked to a tomb, and sat down against the tombstone.
"I've come to see you." Qianwu looked at the loess piled up into a grave, and said in a choked voice, "I just learned the truth today......
As soon as the name "Hibiscus ......" was shouted, the tears in Qianwu's eyes could no longer be stopped, and she cried bitterly in front of her grave, "If I had known that this would be the case, I would not have let you go to Jiangnan, and I would not have listened to my father's words to patrol the defense river." ”
"You don't know how much I miss you......" Qianwu's finger swiped the words "Xiao Jinzhi" on the tombstone over and over again, and took another sip of wine, "I brought you a lilac branch, this is your favorite token." ”
"When I find out everything, I'll go and accompany you, okay?" Qianwu frowned, and tears rolled down, "You wait for me." ”
A little later, he slept against the tombstone.
Drunken drip all the way to the horse whip, on the way back to the villa saw a thousand fog, he was drinking while riding a horse, his back was very lonely, and he still walked the path up the mountain. Drunken Di ignored him and rode directly to the main road to catch up with Qinghe. What she didn't know was that at this time, Qinghe had just woken up in the suburbs.
It was already night, and the people in the villa saw the drunken drops who came in a hurry, and everyone heard the drunken drops talk about the situation, and they got up in a hurry, and took torches to find people.
The night was very dark, and the wind often blew in the forest, and the trees immediately made a low rustling sound, and from time to time unknown birds were chirping.
After another two or so moments, the group of drunken drops finally saw the dying Qinghe.
"Auntie! How are you! Seeing that Qinghe was covered in blood, drunken drops grabbed her arm and tears rolled out immediately, and hurriedly called the two senior brothers to help Qinghe go back to the villa, but Qinghe grabbed his arm again.
"What's wrong with my aunt?" Drunken drops leaned over his ears.
"Wang ...... Clothes, kill me. Qinghe's mouth was slurred, and he said a few words with difficulty.
