Chapter 9: Phantoms

"It's me, it's me. Sister Tianjin, what happened, why are you so pale? Xiaoxiang held her hand with a worried expression.

Tianjin was silent for a moment, and slowly pulled his hand out.

"Xiaoxiang, those girls in the music room are not close to you, because they dislike you for not understanding music, right?"

Xiao Xiang's face froze.

Tianjin looked directly into her eyes without squinting, and there was still a trace of anticipation in her heart, expecting her to nod.

However, Xiaoxiang slowly turned her face away, "I'm sorry Sister Tianjin, I ......"

"I see." Tianjin smiled bitterly, "Let's go." ”

Xiaoxiang thought that she would be accused in the face, but she didn't expect her to be so calm, and she became more and more worried in her heart, "Go, where to go?" ”

"Go back to the backyard." Tianjin removes the jewelry from her head.

Although Xiaoxiang is young, she already knows how to look at her face, she has been with Tianjin for so long, she naturally knows her temperament very well, and she knows what she wants to do at a glance.

"Sister Tianjin, no." Xiaoxiang eagerly stepped forward and stopped her hand from removing makeup, "If I go back to the backyard, I will be sent away." ”

Her anxious look doesn't seem to be fake, but her words and deeds in the past are the same as they are now, and they are real and flawless. Tianjin now doesn't know which of her sentences is true and which is false.

She looked at Xiao Xiang quietly and sighed: "Xiao Xiang, you have a life-saving grace for me, you don't have to ......"

"Sister Tianjin!" Xiaoxiang knelt down in front of her, hugged her legs, and tears rained down.

"What I said is true, believe me again, I will really be sent away. I'm fourteen years old, and Goolan Yuan won't raise a person who has nothing to do, and Mother Qin has long intended to sell me to a blind widower...... I, I'm forced to do it. ”

Tianjin could feel her body trembling slightly, if such fear and horror were fake, then she would really be disappointed.

"Get up."

"Sister Tianjin......" Xiaoxiang pleaded.

"You get up." Tianjin couldn't see her like this, closed her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I won't go back to the backyard." ”

At night, Tianjin took the stage again, dancing like a shock, and the flute skills were superb. Xiao Xiang followed her and busily followed her, and the tacit understanding between the two was full, as if there had never been a barrier.

But Tianjin knows that things will change, people's hearts will change, and he no longer trusts Xiaoxiang as much as before.

A curtain call.

Tianjin retreated behind the scenes under a round of applause, and saw Xiao Xiang walking over with a pot of gorgeous poppy flowers in her hand.

"Sister Tianjin, there is a flower for your distinguished guest, and he also gave a lot of silver. Didn't you see it, Mother Qin was so smiling that she couldn't close her mouth......"

Poppies again!

Tianjin stared at the delicate flowers that were in full bloom, "Which guest is it?" ”

"Oh, the distinguished guest has already left just now, and I took a look from a distance, and it was a young gentleman, who looked ten princes and was beautiful, just like the person who walked down in the painting."

In this fireworks willow lane, people come and go in different shapes. Tianjin has seen a lot these days and experienced a lot, she has heard that some people spend a lot of money just for a kiss. This one sent flowers and left, but he was a maverick.

Tianjin wanted to see what this Lang Jun looked like, and when he took the stage again, he deliberately hid behind the scenes in advance and asked Xiaoxiang to identify him.

Xiao Xiang looked around and shook her head, "That Lang Jun doesn't seem to be here tonight." ”

I don't want to, but these words made the red girl who was about to perform on stage hear it.

"Yo, it's only been a few days, and I'm thinking of tying up a high branch and flying into the phoenix's nest. Pity...... You're just a thing, people are happy to reward you with two pots of flowers, and you're really a treasure! ”

Tianjin's face didn't change, "It's like you're not a thing." ”

"You!" The red girl's face changed greatly, and she was about to get angry, but she didn't know what to think of, so she endured it again, "You wait for me!" ”

Just in time, the piano sounded. The red girl glared at her viciously, then straightened her clothes, changed into a smile and slowly stepped onto the stage.

"Sister Tianjin, don't talk back to her everywhere, the red girl is not a good type, in case she has a bad heart......" Xiaoxiang was worried, "Why don't we go and give her a soft face?" ”

Tianjin shook his head, "It's been a long time since I had a grudge, and I can't say it in three or two sentences, don't worry, I'll pay attention." ”

The night is thick, the moon is dim outside, and the stars are shining brightly in the dark curtain.

"General, it's been found out, it's a bunch of ruffians who are making trouble outside the city defense, do you want to arrest them?"

It turned out that Xie Yan didn't go to Goolan Courtyard tonight for a reason.

In the battle of Weishui, there were not a few people who affected Yangchi. A few days ago, he lived drunk and dreamed of death every day, ignoring government affairs, and a large number of refugees poured into Guangling City, which was not properly resettled, causing a riot.

Although it has been suppressed, there are not a few people who have taken advantage of this riot to take advantage of the opportunity to rob, and there are still many things to deal with at the moment, and Xie Yan has finally regained his strength.

There was no light in the room, Xie Yan was under the window, his body was long, and the whole person was hidden in the night.

It was a long time before he spoke in a deep voice, "There are many forces in this Guangling City that are about to move, and it is indeed long overdue to clean up." Go ahead, send more people, and kick one place first. ”

"No!"

Xie Yan knew that this time he couldn't completely eliminate those forces in one fell swoop, and the purpose was just to make an example of the chickens. The henchmen who have followed him for many years naturally know his intentions, and they don't need to say it explicitly, they know how to do it.

There was silence in the room.

Xie Yan stood under the window for a long time, looking at the sky and dotting the stars. The canopy of heaven was as dark as thick ink, and the dazzling stars slowly condensed into a face as bright as jade.

"Ayan." She spoke suddenly.

This beautiful jade-like face was radiant, the smile on his lips spread little by little, and between a smile, a shallow vortex appeared on both sides of his cheeks, which was so beautiful that he couldn't melt his sight.

"Princess Jin......" Xie Yan's heart moved slightly, his feet couldn't help but move forward, and he also intended to stretch out his hand under his hands, wanting to hug the person into his arms.

However, there was a window in front of him, and his body naturally hit the window, and the pain instantly pulled him back to his senses.

Looking at it again, in addition to the twinkling stars on the sky, where is there a brocade princess.

Xie Yan's dark eyes revealed a look of self-blame. How many times did he dream back at midnight, and the scene of her being cut into the rolling mountains kept coming to his mind, and the hatred that burst out of her eyes pierced his heart.

With his hands clutched to his chest, he turned and walked to the desk, shuddering to light the lamp.

The light jumped, reflecting his heroic appearance, and in the night when no one was around, those turbulent memories were like daggers, constantly poking at his heart.

It hurts him...... Don't want to live.

He was like a walking corpse, not knowing what to do, and swallowing himself up by the pain.

When he came back to his senses, there was already a pair of ink and blue in front of him.

He put down his pen and looked at the lifelike smile, and a layer of cold anger gradually welled up on his handsome face.

The things on the case were swept down and smashed to pieces.

Xie Yan sat down in a dejected manner.

The face on the ink and blue is still the same, and the smart and clear eyes are looking at him without blinking, and the clear light seems to cover her with a mysterious look.

He seemed to see her incarnate as an inviolable fairy, sitting on a white horse, and her gentle gaze changed with a sharp stare at him.

"Yan, why did you do this to me?"

Xie Yan's heart twitched fiercely, "No, no...... Listen to me, I ......" He stretched out his hand urgently, and just as he touched her, his finger was cut by the sword that she crossed over.

The phantom shattered at once.

He was pulled back to reality again, his fingers already touching the lamp, and with a pop, the light was extinguished......
