Chapter 200: The Past
"Ah Yan, this place is full of heaven and earth, barren mountains and mountains, it is really not suitable for ......" The resentment and resentment in her eyes, how could he not know, reached out and gently touched her hair to soothe, leaned over to her ear, and whispered: "After I go back, what about the eldest prince, how about giving up, even if he sacrifices his life to accompany the gentleman, okay?" ”
His breath tickled in his ears, but his heart warmed him up in a few words. Yun Yanzheng maintained a cold face, knowing in his heart that this place was in danger, and it was really not appropriate to stay for too long, but in a blink of an eye, he felt unwilling, and said to him with cold eyes: "Then you are teasing me like this?" ”
Gu Xi's cheeks deepened his smile, becoming more and more like a breeze and a bright moon, charming and dizzy, and his soft tone was like a gurgling spring water: "No, it's Gu Xi who can't help it and wants to kiss the eldest princess." His eyes were as bright as a sea of stars, filled with grief and sorrow, as if it was not him who had just stopped his movements, but her.
How is it that this person can always easily see through others, and can always easily break her defenses?
Yun Yanzheng still bit his lip unwillingly, the crimson on his cheeks did not dissipate, adding a touch of charm to her, Gu Xi pecked her slightly swollen red lips that were kissed, and said softly: "Ah Yan, I'm still not used to your current face, let's go back, I have to help you change it back." ”
Yun Yanzheng was a little stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Will you?" ”
"I will." Gu Xiyu smiled and nodded with crooked eyebrows, and responded.
Yun Yanzheng remembered that he was now facing the face of the dragon's family, and as soon as his mind turned around, his eyes when he looked at Gu Xi inadvertently softened a little, and he was a little more happy.
Gu Xi coaxed her, turned over and sat up again, carefully tidied up her messy clothes and hair, pulled her to sit up and took her into his arms, and kissed her hairline, but the tenderness in her eyes seemed to overflow water. A flood of autumn drowned three thousand, Yun Yanzheng raised his eyes and looked at each other for a moment, and then slandered this sentence in his heart.
He straightened her long loose hair with a comb with his fingers, and very skillfully put on a penistrous bun for her, and fixed it with a hairpin. He casually tied the long hair behind him together, smiled at her, bent down to pick her up, and drifted away towards the valley.
The rustling sound of the wind kept flying in his ears, and Yun Yanzheng leaned on his warm and fragrant arms, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little trance.
I obviously wanted to get away from him twice or three times, why did I now lean peacefully in his arms and leave with him? It was only at this moment that she suddenly came to her senses, and looked at the sharp jaw above, which always made people fall into his trap unconsciously, and always made people lose their armor after they were dizzy.
She leaned against him, slowly closing her eyes and letting her mind go blank.
On the outskirts of Chiba Castle, hidden in the mountains, there is a green bamboo house.
Thousands of rods are swaying, and the phoenix is singing.
A drizzle is falling.
If she was not the identity of the eldest princess, if she had not commanded the Nine Heavens Ride, if she would no longer care about the affairs of the world, and live here in seclusion with him, wander the world with him, and be with him in the morning and dusk, what a pleasant thing would it be?
Looking at the green bamboos swaying in the slanting wind and drizzle, Yun Yanzheng looked at the railing, and suddenly had this stable and peaceful state of mind. the ease that I once longed for; The vast sea and sky that I have imagined from afar; The coveted companionship to Baitou seems to have been imagined and satisfied in this bamboo house in the mountains and the green world.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and I unexpectedly recalled that voice: "Ah Yan, how about walking all over Kyushu with me?" ”
"Ah Yan, it's time to eat." A similar voice rang in my ears, seemingly overlapping the voices that were echoing in my heart.
She turned around and saw that the person and the shadow in her heart were stacked together, with black hair and white clothes, and a faint smile on his face.
The slender figure, the broad shoulders, the eyebrows, the eyes, the nose, and the lips are the ones that have appeared thousands of times in dreams, and in the end, what is inevitable is the smile on the corner of his lips.
How good would it be if she could get away from him just like that?
She smiled, met him, and walked up to him, where he took her hand and went into the house with them. At that moment, she had the illusion of an old husband and wife, and her heart was indeed peaceful and satisfied.
When she came to the table, there were all kinds of porcelain plates and dishes in a fan-shaped manner, and at a rough glance, they were all her favorite tastes. Yun Yanzheng blinked, and there was a hint of wetness, for these dishes that he had not seen for a long time, and for his mind as always.
After they both sat down, he served her soup. Green and fragrant, sweet and warm in the mouth, she savored it carefully, tasted it carefully, and turned her head and said: "This is the soup that the bamboo forest invited to that time?" ”
"It's rare that the eldest princess still remembers." He smiled and replied faintly.
The corners of Yun Yanzheng's lips smiled slightly, and said, "Shezhi, the dishes on your table are used to test me?" ”
"Definitely." Gu Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm here to help the eldest princess remember the bittersweet memories." ”
Bittersweet memories? Is it nothing more than to let her go back to the past, and by the way, remember his painstaking work? It's just that in this piece of hard work, how much sincerity is there? How much of the truth?
She didn't dare to guess, she didn't dare to ask, and the trust between him and her was on thin ice for some reason. Or this layer of brittle ice crystals has never dissipated, whether it was in Yuecheng at the beginning; to reunite after this catastrophe; It's the same two years ago. The only time she had ever forgotten this suspicion was when she thought he was dead and could never be seen by her again.
It's really pitiful and sad to think about it.
Gu Xi looked at the churning look in her eyes, and her voice was as soft as a spring: "Ah Yan, there are many suspicions between you and me, and you also have a lot of questions about me. If I had said it, you might not have been able to believe it very much, but ...... If I remain silent, you may really be away from me. ”
Yun Yanzheng held the soup in his hand and listened quietly.
His voice seemed to be flowing in the wind: "As an orphan, my master raised me, perhaps because he saw how smart I was, and taught me all the skills he had. Master is an immortal man, he hates Hongchen, and keeps saying that he can't trust people's feelings, and since I was a child, I have been accustomed to the state of heartlessness and ruthlessness. I'm also accustomed to it, and I've never been moved by anything......" With his beautiful voice, his index finger tapped a few times, and his tone carried a hint of inconspicuous ridicule, "But the funny thing is that a person who talks about emotional mistakes in his mouth does everything to ask me to help him avenge the death of his confidant and friend." I responded to him, Master often said that emotions are people's greatest weakness, so why did Master throw himself into a net and be cocooned and bound by himself? He was so angry with me that his face turned pale, and he smiled bitterly again and again: He is guilty of his own sin, and he cannot live. Even though he had a thousand words to say to me in his eyes, at that moment he may have seen the ruthlessness in my heart, and knew that it would be useless for me to say more. I didn't even have much emotion in my eyes when I watched him feel the pain of his soulmate's death, how could he ask me to be the slightest bit moved by his confidant, whom I had never met, to be able to empathize with his pain? ”
His voice was obviously very gentle, but Yun Yanzheng heard a faint coolness in his words.
She put down the bowl in her hand and turned her eyes to look at him, not for a moment.
She had never understood him, and he had never let her know.
Gu Xi looked back at the complicated look in her eyes, smiled faintly, reached out and served her a bowl of rice, and put some of her favorite dishes into the bowl. After urging her to eat it with his eyes, he continued: "Master is seriously ill and has difficulty moving, so he can't personally track down the real culprit who murdered his friend, but he doesn't want me to stay out of it...... So he came up with a way to make me feel a strange Gu in my body, and my life was at stake. He threatened me with his life, so that I could no longer be indifferent, he knew that I did not care about the life and death of others, but what about my own? In order to give me enough time to find the real culprit, he gave me ten years......"
His voice was faint, as if he was telling someone else's story, and he didn't care, but Yun Yanzheng raised his head again and looked at his plain and calm face worriedly.
Gu Xi glanced at her, unwavering, as if he had first seen the silent and indifferent young man in the desert yellow sand. He ate the food elegantly, and after chewing it slowly in his mouth, he said again: "Who would have thought that I was still unhurried, just looking for and deliberating on the origin of this Gu in the study, trying to find a way to get rid of it." After Master learned about my thoughts, he drugged the diet I ate with him, and finally he died and forced him to die, and the Gu on my body became a poisonous Gu when they fused with the medicine. However, before he died, the antidote was secretly entrusted to a person, and only after I fulfilled his last wish, that person would give the antidote to me. ”
"Who is your master, and who is that friend of his?" After hearing this, Yun Yan felt a faint pain in his heart, and couldn't help but be curious. Not only do you want the apprentice who was raised by yourself to have no heart for everything, but you are so affectionate and friendly to your friend that you don't hesitate to cut off the apprentice's back path with death, forcing him into a desperate situation where he has to sacrifice his life for it, just to seek justice for his friend and take revenge? An extremely contradictory person, his teachings are contrary to his actions, so how can Gu Xi, who is his disciple, adapt?
If this happened to her, she was afraid that she would collapse because of cynicism and disgust?
Not only did he lose his relatives and freedom, but he even had to watch his life go by in the midst of things that he had no choice but to extricate himself from, which in itself was a kind of torment and a kind of cruelty.
Yun Yanzheng clenched the wooden chopstick, his heart was a little blocked, and he looked at Gu Xi's eyes again with pity and love.
Gu Xi smiled, and said lightly: "Ah Yan, don't be afraid, don't be sad, everyone in this world can't escape death, the difference is only that my time is waiting, and others can't predict." ”
Yun Yanzheng smiled reluctantly, but he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.
Gu Xi still calmly picked up vegetables for her, and said: "Master is a hermit, and the name he told me is Nan Yuanzhi, but I haven't checked his true identity. And his friend is the emperor Xue Qinglan who turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands for rain in the past. What Master handed over to me not only had all kinds of clues about the death of the emperor back then, but also a group of spies who had not been activated for a long time, but had been secretly existing. ”
"It seems that your master is very uneasy about you, and has tried all kinds of methods to force you to submit and start this matter." Yun Yanzheng pretended to laugh lightly.
Gu Xi bowed his head quite seriously and said, "It seems that this is indeed the case." ”
Yun Yanzheng looked at his face, which was more beautiful than the green bamboo outside the window and clearer than the rain scene, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said, "It's really difficult for you to give it up." Have you ever found the murderer? Which country is Kyushu? Who did it? "As soon as the emperor died, the Mu country, which had just unified Kyushu, gradually fell apart, and gradually split into today's four major countries of Mo, Henan, Wei, and Cheng, and countless small countries scattered on the land of Kyushu like stars, each multiplying and doing its own thing.
Gu Xi analyzed the faint caution and vigilance in her eyes, as well as a trace of nervousness that could not be relaxed, and said calmly: "The emperor was assassinated by someone, and the lords of the four countries all had plans for this matter, but Xue Qinglan finally died at the hands of one person. And this person is not the monarch of your country, nor is it your father, nor is he a person from your country. After the words fell, he could almost feel her breathing become lighter, the fingers holding the wooden chopstick loosened a little, and the depths of her eyes faintly overflowed with a hint of luck and joy.
