Time passed in a quiet wait, and a figure came out of the cave entrance. It was Ni Tingxuan who came back. Thinking that the last moment of his life was spent under the eyes of the son of the enemy, Su Mi laughed self-deprecatingly.

Coming in and seeing Su Mi's disgraced face, Ni Tingxuan was taken aback, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and just wanted to lift his true qi, the dantian was like a pinprick in pain, and his body couldn't help shaking.

Feeling the warm breath behind him, suddenly, Su Mi didn't know where the strength came from, and shook it violently.

"Don't touch me!" Her voice was poignant and desperate, "Don't touch me!" "She doesn't want the slightest kindness from this person.

Before it could touch her body, the palm of his hand was violently thrown away. Even if it is not much stronger than a kitten, the determination and disgust in it are still conveyed clearly, which makes Ni Tingxuan's heart tense slightly, sure enough, after she wakes up, she will not allow ordinary men to be so rude.

She tried to push him away, far away, but her completely disempowered body struggled weakly for a few times, like a kitten's rubbing.

Ni Tingxuan was gloomy for a while, she was so disgusted that she was so abandoned. He retreated slightly as he said and covered Su Mi's clothes.

Barely taking a few breaths, Su Mi turned her head and looked at him vigilantly, only then did she realize that it was just a trip, and there were some more abrasions on his body, just now he went to find a way out? Want to jump off a cliff? What a fool, that's just a waste of physical strength, with his kung fu, it's no problem to wait for rescue.

She is just an ordinary palace concubine, although this time the rescue is not effective, according to Qi Long's temperament, I am afraid that his position as the commander of the guard will not be guaranteed, but with his father who has made great achievements, his life will definitely be fine, and he can be promoted back in a few years, why bother with such effort, what is more important than life?

The blood on his body was scattered from the water. He had already soaked almost all his clothes, and from the footsteps he walked out just now, Su Mi could clearly hear that he was not as light and natural as usual, and it seemed sluggish and slow, he should have suffered a very serious internal injury. The thin clothes clinged to the young and upright body, although there was no trace on the appearance, but according to his injury, I am afraid that every step will hurt my heart.

My heart suddenly softened, and they all said that people are going to die, and their words are good, forget it, I am about to die, and any hatred and arrogance will disappear with my life. He also said that death could not receive the favor of the enemy.

She felt like she was exhaling what little little life force she had out of her body with every breath. She tried her best to keep herself awake, but the pervasive cold surrounded her like an invisible hand, pulling at her, making it impossible for her to break free, and she was about to sink again.

She wanted to shake her head to show that she was awake, but the lingering tiredness began to grapple with her.

No, she can't die, she can't die like this, how should she go to see her relatives below.

Feeling that Ni Tingxuan's eager eyes suddenly fell on him like substance, Su Mi suddenly smiled, "Tell me about your own affairs, Deputy Commander Ni." She whispered.

He was surprised by the sudden words for a moment, and then the bitterness that Deputy Commander Ni made his heart unspeakable.

"I ......" he looked at Su Mi blankly, and didn't react for a while, "My business?" ”

"yes, I'll tell you about it." Su Mi said casually. If there is nothing to attract your attention, you will faint like this, and you will never be able to wake up again.

"You're Ni Yuan's eldest son, right?" Su Mi asked.

Not realizing that Su Mi unceremoniously called his father's name, Ni Tingxuan nodded: "I am my father's first son, but I am not a descendant, my mother is ......" Ni Tingxuan hesitated for a moment.

"Isn't your mother the county lord of Jingchang?" Su Mi asked unconsciously.

Ni Yuan's wife is the daughter of the Wu family, one of the most famous families in Daqi. Ni Yuan was originally a famous young man of Liang State, born in a wealthy family, more than 20 years ago, when Liang State was not destroyed, he still had the princess of Liang State as his wife, not long after the marriage, Qi State attacked Liang State, the momentum was like a bamboo, Ni Yuan, the dignity of the horse, actually surrendered to Daqi, and the princess he had just married naturally died in the war "naturally".

At that time, the situation was tense, and in order to envelop this minister, Emperor Qi Wu specially gave marriage. originally wanted to marry a princess, but unfortunately there was no unmarried princess of the right age in the court of Daqi at that time, and the Wang family of the first noble lord did not have a daughter to be married, so Emperor Wu of Qi chose a young lady from the Wu family, whose power was second only to the Wang family, and named him the lord of Jingchang County, and gave marriage to Ni Yuan. This county lord is Ni Guifei's biological mother, Su Mi has also seen it, she often goes to the harem to visit Ni Yelin, she is a gorgeous and rich and arrogant woman.

"My mother is not such a noble woman," Ni Tingxuan smiled bitterly and continued: "My mother came from a humble ......" Suddenly, this kind of inner secret that even his best friend Mu Qinghan had never talked about was said fluently, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.

"Go on, don't stop," Su Mi said, a voice almost moaning mixed with a rapid gasp.

"My mother is a very gentle woman, she ......" Ni Tingxuan's bright and slightly hoarse voice continued to sound. A wonderful atmosphere spread, in this isolated cave, there are no masters and slaves, no palace concubines and guards, only two people who have fallen together, whispering about the past worth remembering.

“…… My father was very strict with me, when I was a child, I followed my father to learn martial arts, and his requirements have always been very strict," Ni Tingxuan's words have a trace of stagnation, in fact, Ni Yuan has a total of two sons, for the youngest son, he is still doting, rarely scolded and scolded, only himself, since he was a child, he has been almost harshly demanded, whether it is martial arts or the art of war and all aspects of knowledge, if there is a trace of fatigue, he will be scolded and reprimanded, and he will be beaten and punished and kneeled. For his younger brother who was not more than a few months younger than him and his sister Ni Yelin, who was also born later, Ni Yuan never had any high requirements, and his attitude was always pleasant.

In the harsh winter, the younger siblings enjoyed the comfort and refreshments of their spouses in the warm room. However, he has always insisted on practicing and studying in the cold snow. Only on rare occasions will Ni Yuan be satisfied with his performance.

"Hmm," Su Mi let out a slight snort, she realized for the first time that perhaps she deeply hated the enemy, and Ni Yuan, who she had always wanted to kill, was also a person, a person with joys and sorrows, and a family history, not just an abstract symbol.

“…… Later, I was arranged to enter the palace as a guard, and I stayed in the palace all the time. Ni Tingxuan said with a flat expression.

In fact, he was arranged to enter the palace as a guard, compared to his younger brother who followed his father to fight in the army and make meritorious contributions, the future is of course a lot bleaker. Mu Qinghan even often complained that he didn't know how to fight, but he had a good family background and opportunities, but he just entered the palace and became the guard of this suffocating man, and he was annoyed with a group of eunuchs all day long.

Now the Qi country is on the rise, this time is the most important military merit, wealth and danger seeking, once the outstanding military merits, even if the background is slightly inferior, the marquis of Jin Jue is no longer a problem, the Wang family Wu family these seemingly long history of the big Qi family, if you get to the bottom of it, the wealth and the title are not also like this.

Mu Qinghan's dream is to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, revitalize the family, and he is often indignant at the unfair treatment of his friends. On the contrary, Ni Tingxuan himself has no resentment about this, he originally hated those battlefield killings and those senseless blood fights, and Ni Yuan was most dissatisfied with him, often saying that he was not domineering enough.

But not long after he went to the battlefield, he was killed on the battlefield by his family's beloved baby brother Ni Tingwei, although he was also ordered by the emperor himself afterwards, posthumously named Wu Shenghou, and was buried in a beautiful manner, but people can't be resurrected after death, I don't know if it's because of this, Ni Yuan's requirements for him have become more and more strict recently. I don't even have time to serve my mother. He couldn't help but think of his mother, although she was not Ni Yuan's main room, and she was always ignored at home, but ......

"My mother ......" Ni Tingxuan's tone was a little ethereal and warm, "It's very good to me, although her background is very humble," Ni Tingxuan's tone trembled a little.

When he was a child, he didn't remember things, and when he grew up, he learned that his mother was a prostitute that everyone spurned, and it is said that she came to the door when his father's grand wedding of a famous and noble daughter of Qi Jing was underway, and she also brought a child like herself who was not yet a month old. It's quite a bit of a discussion.

As for why Ni Yuan didn't even have doubts about identification, he immediately recognized the son of a lowly prostitute as his own flesh and blood, which made many subordinates whisper, and also made the new lady very dissatisfied.

But Ni Yuan didn't explain anything, for as long as he can remember, he and his mother lived together in a small courtyard in the back garden of Ni's mansion, Ni Yuan would sometimes send someone to call him, carefully teach him martial arts, teach him the art of war, but he never entered the courtyard where he lived once, and never saw his mother again.

He also suspected more than once that he might not really be his father's biological son, but why, on earth, did his father not explain anything, did not even send someone to investigate, and believed his identity and descent only by the words of a humble prostitute?

The doubts about the whispers of his subordinates and the contempt for his own bloodline made him suffer a lot in his childhood, especially after his mother gave birth to a younger brother and sister in a row.

But with the reincarnation of the years, the discussion about whether he is Ni Yuan's biological son gradually subsided, and the same deep and outstanding facial features and handsome and similar appearance have clearly told everyone his bloodline.

Caught in the memory, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, she used to be a happy woman who leaned on the door and laughed. He didn't dare to look at Su Mi's thoughts, deeply afraid that those bright eyes would be filled with contempt and disgust.

"Hmm," Su Mi replied slightly, without the slightest emotion,

Ni Tingxuan turned his gaze nervously, looked at Su Mi's expression nervously, there was not the slightest trace of contempt in those clear eyes, and he was relieved.

Regarding the life experience that Ni Tingxuan just talked about, Su Mi did not have the slightest strength to criticize or despise, even if she had the strength, she did not have such a mind.

For prostitutes, she doesn't have any condescending thoughts, what she is doing now, what is different from a prostitute, she is selling her hue and youth, currying favor with men in exchange for her own survival. And what the prostitute earns is nothing more than the money of her guests, while what she wants is power and life, wealth and country. She was even more miserable and greedy than a prostitute.

Without hearing the emotion contained in the voice, Ni Tingxuan paused and continued: "I used to ......

Suddenly, a violent cough interrupted his words, and Su Mi's face suddenly became strangely rosy.

"Don't say it." Knowing that her life force was almost exhausted, Su Mi's mind drifted into nothingness, and she looked at the clear blue sky outside.

Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that he died outside the palace walls. However, she didn't want to die, she had survived countless times that life was better than death, so why did she fall here?

All the sounds of the outside world were blurred, and Ni Tingxuan could vaguely hear something shouting in his ear.

At this time, on the distant lake, the waves rippled, and a figure in white clothes fell from the sky and fell to the lake, elegant and elegant, like a swan falling to the nest.

Is it immortal or black and white impermanence? Are you going to pick me up and take me into the underworld? Or is it a hallucination before I die?

Su Mi wanted to smile, but his body didn't have the slightest strength, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be frozen, and he soon fell into a deep darkness. I just remember that I ended up in a warm place. This time, she didn't struggle to resist, and snuggled up to the arms of the person behind her.

Ni Tingxuan looked at the face in his arms, and then looked up at the lake in the distance blankly.

The monk who descended in this deep valley as suddenly as if an immortal had descended into the world looked at the scene in front of him from afar and sighed softly......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother sat up straight and asked solemnly, "What, you said you didn't see the corpse?" ”

"Yes, at that time, both of them fell off the cliff, although the villains also sent people to look for it, but it was a cliff valley, and they didn't find a way to go down, if they want to go down, unless it is a light achievement, otherwise they have to prepare cables and other objects, it takes too long, and it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, so after leaving a few clever people to explore on the side, the rest of the people have evacuated back." The kneeling man replied, dressed in his usual guard uniform, looking shrewd and capable.

"What about the rest?" The Queen Mother asked.

"It's all settled, there is no living left, and it is seamless."

"Seamless?!" The queen next to her shouted, and she asked sharply, "The two most important goals are to not see people alive or dead." What if the two of them survived, even if they were all eliminated? ”

"This, Niangniang, that cliff is more than 100 zhang high, the terrain is dangerous, I am afraid that I will be crushed immediately if I fall, and the weather was as cold as ice at that time, Ni Tingxuan was seriously injured, even if the two of them fell off the cliff and did not die for a while, I am afraid that they will not be able to support it for a day or two, even if they immediately send people to rescue now, there is no way to go to the cliff, unless there is a peerless light skill, it is impossible to reach the bottom of the cliff in a short time. When the emperor sent someone to go, he just collected the corpse. The guard argued.

When the queen heard this, her mood calmed down a little.

The Queen Mother also nodded and asked, "Besides, how are the traces at the scene handled?" ”

"The site has been properly arranged according to the original plan. The people who planted the blame for the Dongliang Association will definitely make Ni Yuan dumb and eat Coptis chinensis this time, and he can't say anything about his suffering. ”

In order to avenge the city-wide search and hunt after the failure of the last assassination, it is reasonable for the people of the Dongliang Society to assassinate the palace concubine this time, which can not only make Daqi lose face, but also solve the son of the great enemy Ni Yuan, and the palace concubine who happened to be in the meeting can only be regarded as unlucky. Naturally, the Wang family killed two birds with one stone, not only getting rid of Su Mi, but also killing Ni Tingxuan.

"Well," the Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, "that's very good, you go down first." ”

His guards bowed and retired.

The queen hesitated for a moment and said, "Queen Mother, I always feel uneasy. ”

"That's true. It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. Now that we don't see the bodies of those two people, we can't easily feel at ease. The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Now it has been three hours since the end of the operation, I am afraid that it will be less than half a day, and the emperor will also know the news, you go in person, probe the emperor's tone, and learn about the situation by the way." ”

The queen stood up, and the queen mother said: "If the emperor wants to go to Hanshan Temple to check in person, you can find an excuse to accompany you and act when you have the opportunity." ”

The queen bowed her head and took the order.
