Ning Fei seemed to be stunned by the scene in front of him, lowered his head, stared at Dan Li blankly, his eyes wide in shock-

"You-"

Ning Fei, who has always been calm and introverted, was speechless at this moment

Everyone around them was frightened by this scene, and only the crisp sound of the iron horse under the eaves was heard in the dark night.

The night breeze swept through the deep hall, blowing the heavy veils and dancing lightly, the smoker that exuded the scent of agarwood fell to the ground, and the thick purple smoke became thicker and thicker, choking people's throats - thousands of words, at this moment, only silence remained.

Countless bright candles flashed in front of them, stabbing people's hearts...... Ning Fei felt that everything in front of him seemed to be an unreal dream

It was her

A drop of blood, along the tip of the sword, slowly fell, and the subtle sound of landing on the ground seemed to be a huge thunder in his ears-

The young girl who was silently smiling many years ago stood in front of his sword in the most unlikely posture

How could it be her?

Ning Fei only felt a glare in front of him - for the first time in his life, the hand holding the sword was unstable.

The wind blew his clothes flying, and in a trance, the face he hadn't seen for many years was as familiar as in his memory, but it was strangely strange.

She practiced swordsmanship in the master's school, always dressed in white plain clothes, with wooden hairpins to pull her hair, but the person in front of her was wearing a Nihua palace dress, with a high updo and jade in her hair.

How did she end up here?

It's been seven years...... After countless changes in the world, life and death are turbulent, will they meet at this moment?

What kind of impermanent fate is this, a coincidence?

The wooden sword froze in mid-air, and the blood fell drop by drop, as if thousands of lifetimes had passed, and it seemed like it was just a moment.

Ning Fei woke up suddenly, and was about to withdraw from the sword, but found that she was holding the tip of the sword tightly with both hands.

"You're here to kill?"

The sword entered the skin, Dan Li frowned, and the whole person was like a soft willow trembling slightly in the wind, as if the whole person was about to fall down at any time, and even his steps were a little vain.

Only those eyes...... The dark, bottomless eyes that stared at him deeply shocked his heart, and the blood all over his body seemed to cool down at this moment.

Ning Fei turned his head slightly, subconsciously trying to dodge the pair of familiar eyes—just like the night of the breakup, first flashed the shock of recognition, then shattered the dim eye waves, and finally appeared an incomparably cruel and resentful sneer.

"Are you here to assassinate the Holy One?"

She asked again, her voice was inaudible, as if she was seriously injured, and only Ning Fei, who was facing her, could see the contemptuous sneer on the corner of her lips.

Ning Fei froze, the whole person was like a wood carving clay sculpture, and he couldn't say a single "yes" word for a while.

"It's none of your business here, get out of here"

Emperor Zhaoyuan drank coldly, he stepped forward, wanting to pull her behind him, but Dan Li held the tip of the sword tightly with both hands, and let the edge stay in the flesh of her chest an inch, which was unprecedentedly stubborn-

"I'm not going to get out of the way."

She shook her head and said in a low voice, I don't know if she was saying it to Emperor Zhaoyuan behind her, or if she was making a categorical promise to Ning Fei in front of her.

Emperor Zhaoyuan didn't dare to pull it anymore - he watched in horror as more blood leaked out of her chest under his exertion - the blood pierced his eyes red, his eyes were about to split, and his whole body exuded an extremely terrifying condensation and coercion

If her own sword is here, why do you need her to block it?

If he hadn't greeted him with ancient courtesy, he would never have brought such a courtesy blunt sword, and if his own sword were here, he would definitely have a fight against the Assassins

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhaoyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the joints of his hands were clenched to reveal white marks—the fury in his heart had burned to the highest

Danli stood still, standing between the two men, staring deeply at the assassin holding the wooden sword in front of him—

This is her senior brother, the one who cares about her the most in this life, and also leaves her the most painful

Ning Fei ...... Now, seven years later, we finally meet again

Behind the sneering sneer, a trace of sentimentality flashed, and then disappeared without a trace.

Putting away the last bit of softness in her heart, her smile deepened strangely, and she looked at the man in front of her who was haunted by dreams, and she said softly: "If you want to assassinate the Holy One, unless you use this sword to penetrate my chest." ”

The soft and sweet voice was said in such a low voice, but it was like a thunderclap outside the sky, and the thunderbolt fell on the hearts of the two men, but the taste was very different, it was like heaven and earth.

Emperor Zhaoyuan felt that his eyes were hot, and the blood veins in his whole body were hot at this moment - he never thought that the little girl who usually seemed to have no heart and lungs, was lazy and greedy for money, would actually say such a sentence

Ning Fei's eyebrows condensed into a deep Sichuan character pattern, and the wooden sword in his hand stopped so stiffly, no longer able to move forward an inch, nor could it be retracted a single bit.

Dan Li looked at him, and the candlelight that couldn't stop beating was reflected in the center of her pupils, like two golden rays condensing, so strange and soul-stirring, "If you want to take his life, it's better to ...... Kill me now"

Word by word, sweet and soft, but it is a decision like breaking gold and cutting jade.

The night wind is howling, and above the chaotic high hall, her sleeved gorgeous clothes are flying and dancing high, and the neon brocade dark patterns are dyed with red blood marks, which is beautiful to look at, but it is also shocking.

The wind was howling, sweeping away all the sounds of the world, leaving only the three people standing opposite each other, suppressing the agitated and surging emotions under the cold gaze.

A light sigh, I don't know whose heart it comes from?

Suddenly, the shiny white light flashed, like a dream, so fast that people couldn't see the afterimage.

The next moment, Dan Li found that the wooden sword on his chest had disappeared

A white-robed figure flashed past the throne, passed through the center of the main hall in a blink of an eye, and easily flashed past the guards and generals who flocked forward, and in an instant they had arrived in front of the palace gate.

His figure was so fast that people couldn't react, leaving only a sentence in the air-

"As the Son of Heaven, you won't hide behind a woman all your life, right? Looking forward to competing with you next time......"

Before the sound was exhausted, the people were far away, and there was no trace to be found.

Everyone couldn't catch up, and in addition to hatred and anger, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief - this man was like a ghost, and no one present was his opponent, which was too terrifying

On the high platform, Dan Li seemed to be completely oblivious to the noise in the hall, and still stood dumbfounded, not moving.

Finally gone?

A complex and abrupt mood fills the chest, and the five flavors are indescribable.

Her heart was relieved, and the next moment she only felt weak and weak, and she fell straight backwards.

"Danli"

It looks like someone is ...... behind him A pair of warm hands caught her, and then, she fell into a dark and sweet faint, and Shen Shen never heard any sound again.

Emperor Zhaoyuan moved forward with his arms, caught her in a very thrilling way, hugged her in the crook of his arm, and saw that her face was like gold paper, and her breath was like a gossamer, and her pulse was quite stagnant, in addition to excessive blood loss, as if she had suffered some internal injuries.
