"Who?"

A candle lit up in the dark room, and the figure of a woman was outlined on the paper window. The door of the house opened softly, and a pair of black diamond-like eyes cautiously stared at Ying Yanshu who fell to the ground outside the house. After a long time, the woman finally pushed open the door and walked out, with black hair and waist-length waterfall, and a sexy and tall figure. In the blurred moonlight, the woman dragged a wide heavy sword in her hand.

The woman came to the corpse-like Ying Yanshu, stuck her sword on the ground, stepped on Ying Yanshu without being ladylike at all, and said, "Hey, can you move?"

Ying Yanshu did not respond. The woman squatted down, picked up the shattered ghost mask, and said suspiciously, "How could the ghost general be injured like this in Yisang City?"

The woman opened Ying Yanshu's clothes, found a small gray-white tower in his arms, and sneered: "Sneaky, he must not be a good person." As she spoke, the woman picked up Ying Yanshu.

At this moment, a jade pendant on Ying Yanshu's waist attracted the woman's attention. She removed the jade pendant from Ying Yanshu's belt, and by the faint moonlight, the woman saw the rough notches on the jade pendant, and exclaimed, "This, this seems to be ······"

The next day, Ying Yanshu woke up from a coma in pain, his brain was so drowsy that he couldn't even open his eyes. Ying Yanshu was surprised that he could still wake up, is he in the cell of the charm department now? It was Xi who sent him away from Yisang, but when he returned here again, he was almost beaten to death by his benefactor.

He seemed to be leaning against a post at the head of the bed, with a sheet spread underneath him. There won't be this kind of treatment in the prison cell of the charm department, so where is he now?

Ying Yanshu tried to get up, but found that his hands were tied behind his back, his upper body was tied to the post he leaned against behind his back, and his legs were also tied together. The ribs were broken, and Ying Yanshu couldn't struggle. Because he was not aware of the external situation, Ying Yanshu did not dare to call for help rashly.

Ying Yanshu opened his eyes with difficulty, and in front of him was a simple house, next to the bed was a cheap paper paste bed, and there were a few broken places on it, and a bundle of firewood leaned against the corner, and a few bowls and a broken clay pot with a missing mouth on the side. I shouldn't have escaped from Miyagi in the end, but why is there such a broken place in Miyagi.

A large heavy sword leaned against the edge of the bed, but it was made of wood. There was a knife on the table in the room, and there were still uncleaned wood chips at the foot of the table. Who is the owner of this house?

"Awake?" accompanied by the sound of the door closing, a clear voice sounded from behind.

Woman?Ying Yanshu thought in surprise, struggling to turn his head to look, but the broken ribs did not allow him to make any big moves.

"Your ribs seem to be broken, don't get excited. I have no ill intentions, or I would have handed you over to the guards a long time ago. The woman pressed Ying Yanshu's head, turned his face back, and sat on the bed in front of Ying Yanshu, "It's you, sneaky, pretending to be a charmer, what's the matter?"

The woman tied her long hair into a neat ponytail, looking four or five years older than Ying Yanshu, revealing mature charm and sassy and heroic posture.

"I, I'm not pretending to be a ghost. ”

"Do you want me to send you to the charm department!" the woman raised her eyebrows, "Since you are still alive, you should have some trust in me." ”

“······ Well, I'm a mercenary. ”

"Are you here to steal this?" the woman pulled out a small gray-white tower, "What is this?"

"Huashi Jade Tower. ”

"Hmph, the man really didn't say a word of truth. You think I'm as ignorant as those guards, don't you? This is clearly the Eleven Bone Spirit Pagoda in the Wasteland. Needless to say, it was made from the bones of the Darkscale Dragon, and I recognized it at a glance, just like my original weapon. ”

"Uh······" Ying Yanshu didn't expect this woman to recognize the Eleven Bone Spirit Pagoda, "You, who are you?"

"Do you want to know who I am now, or if I used to be?" the woman ruffled the hair from her forehead and picked up the wooden heavy sword, "I used to be a soldier. Now, I live in this Shouming Palace. ”

"Shouming Palace, this is Shouming Palace!"

Shouming Palace is a special existence in the Xiling Empire, which is actually the Cold Palace. The Xiling Empire was founded on warfare, and kings were required to wear armor and swords when attending important occasions. Due to the martial tradition, the emperors of the Xiling Empire did not have many concubines, and the Shouming Palace was generally empty.

"My surname is Liu, and my name is Xiaoya. When I was a child, the first emperor chose a concubine for Shan Huai, and I was chosen. The princes of the empire all grew up in the barracks, so I was also sent to the barracks to accompany Shan Huaiji. At that time, Shan Huaiyan was already a half-grown young man, nominally I was his concubine, but in fact he always regarded me as a sister, and I also regarded him as a big brother. ”

Later, the first emperor died, and Shan Huai returned to Yisang to succeed him. At that time, I had just entered my youth and wanted to stay in the barracks. Out of friendship as a child, he made an exception to allow me to join the army, and gave me a heavy sword made from the bones of the Darkscale Dragon. ”

"I was not satisfied with living in the garrison guards, so I volunteered to join the border patrol team. I almost died there on several dangerous missions, but I loved life there. Later, our team made a mistake in the mission, resulting in the failure of the mission, and the members of the team also suffered a lot of sacrifices. According to the military order, the survivors should be put to death, but Shan Huai saved me. I survived, but I never went back to the barracks, this Shouming Palace is a punishment. ”

"That'······ Why are you saving me?"

"Because of this. Liu Xiaoya took out a jade pendant, "This is yours, right?"

The jade pendant in Liu Xiaoya's hand was the one given to him by Xi back then. Even if he was in a desperate situation before, Ying Yanshu did not reveal his identity, so as not to involve Xi. He was very grateful to Xi, so he was reluctant to leave this piece of jade.

In Xi's mouth, this jade pendant has long lost its value, but judging from Liu Xiaoya's reaction, Ying Yanshu feels that things don't seem to be as simple as Xi thinks.

"How do you know that I didn't steal it?" Ying Yanshu didn't want to get involved in any entanglements, but he didn't forget Xi's entrustment, and he didn't dare to reveal Xi's identity, so he could only refuse.

"The red rope with the jade pendant is worn on the upper end, and it should be sharpened by your belt, indicating that you carry it with you. The quality of this jade is not good, and the carving is also very rough, but it is a little older, and it is not worth much at all. You, a mercenary, risked your life to steal the Eleven-Bone Spirit Pagoda from Yisang Palace City, why did you carry a stolen and worthless jade pendant with you?"

"Well, it's mine. Ying Yanshu reluctantly agreed. He can't say that he is reluctant to lose it because he misses a man, not to mention that this will expose his relationship with Xi, even if he says it, Liu Xiaoya will not believe it.

"And do you know its story?"

"It seems to be waiting for someone. ”

"Are you waiting for its owner?" Liu Xiaoya took out another jade pendant. This jade pendant is quite old, and it is delicately carved with a gorgeous flower. The two jade pendants can be seen in front of you, and the rough notches on Ying Yanshu's jade pendant are carved on the left half of the pattern on Liu Xiaoya's jade pendant.

Ying Yanshu was stunned and didn't understand what the situation was. Even if the original owner Xi was present, it was estimated that it was the same reaction. And Liu Xiaoya stroked the two jade pendants, her eyes moved, and she talked to herself.

"She doesn't know how many generations ago I was the grandfather, but we are not related by blood. She came to the war-torn Zhuan River valley from the north alone, saying that she was looking for someone, but she couldn't remember his appearance. She took this jade pendant and said that as long as the person saw this jade, he would think of her. It is said that she was very beautiful, and the temptation of exotic customs made the founding emperor of Xiling unforgettable, and included her in the palace. And she never left the palace again, nor did she give birth to a child. ”

"Before she entered the palace, she gave the jade pendant to her friend in Yisang. The jade pendant has been passed down from generation to generation and handed over to me, and I actually returned to the palace with this piece of jade. ”

"This story was told to me by my father before he died, and the person she was waiting for has always been a mystery. It wasn't until last night that I saw your jade and realized that the owner of this piece of jade was the person she was waiting for. He engraved his memory on the jade so as not to forget her, he used this jade to find her, and he was also looking for her, right?" Unconsciously, a tear fell on Liu Xiaoya's face. Women always look forward to romance, and even the strongest woman is no exception.

Just because the rose has thorns doesn't mean she doesn't want to be watched.

Ying Yanshu was silent. If Xi, who knows the truth, is present, he will definitely sigh that this is just a tragedy of things and people. The person she was looking for was the ancestor of the Wu family back then. One is the emperor's concubine, the other is the fierce general of the charm department, the two are looking for each other, but they miss it because of the barrier of a palace wall. Time passed, and the jade pendant met by accident, but the owner of the jade pendant had passed away in regret. Moreover, fate is not drawn by each other's descendants.

Chutian Qing Xiao 80,000 li, today's wind and rain ancient times.

Qingmei is far away, and the moon is full of purple and lone stars.

Flowers and flowers are always similar, and the autumn dynasty and autumn twilight are repeated.

It is another spring to return to Yan, and things are not long-hateful sleeps.
