Volume 1 A Dream Chapter 1 What's Wrong
Daya Antai 947, when it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival. The imperial capital of the Daya Dynasty, Tian'an City.
It was late at night, and a hazy moon hung in the dark night sky. Qi'an Houfu, a secret prison faintly heard the sound of painful and suppressed moans.
It was dark inside, except for a dim oil lamp hanging from the blue-black walls, reflecting the structure of the cell.
Torture instruments of all kinds took up nearly half of the cell's space, and a man was tied to an iron frame facing the door.
It was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, dressed in plain black, and her face was covered with criss-crossing black marks, like ink marks drawn by an ink pen, and her whole face was extremely ugly, and it was extremely eerie and terrifying in the dim light.
She raised her head, frowned, her red lips trembled slightly, gasping for pain, and her sweat-soaked hair was messily clinging to her black-scarred face and white jade-like neck. Lines and lines of tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.
Moth's eyebrows were frowned, his eyes were hazy with tears, and his red lips were slightly open, obviously a face full of pain and ugly black marks, but in the dim light, there was a stunning beauty that exhaled like an orchid and wanted to say goodbye.
It is a stunning beauty that is only exuded by fragility to the extreme, which flatters the bone marrow and turns all beings upside down.
Who is this girl, she is Zhao Yu, known as the "Poisonous Rakshasa in the rivers and lakes".
She had only been locked up here for an hour, but she felt that it had been so long that she could not remember where she was.
What's even more uncomfortable is the pain in the body, dense. She thought she would just endure it, but it was too much to bear.
She was just ordered to go to Canghai City in Yanzhou to assassinate a couple and let go of their children. And the man, the man she loved so much, used this as an excuse to imprison her in this secret cell, and gave her a poison called "Bone Erosion Incense", saying that it was a small punishment.
A small punishment? She sneered in her heart, but she was helpless.
She remembered that when she was first recalled by him, he asked, "Minmin, do you know what is wrong?" ”
Knowing that she is wrong, how could she be wrong? That child, he has lost his parents, she took pity on him in her heart, so she let him go, what is wrong with her?
What's more, it was just a weak life, it didn't threaten anyone, and it wouldn't hinder his ambitions, so what's wrong with letting him go?
The pain in her body, she thought she was about to be numb, but she didn't expect it to become so vivid again.
At this moment, the closed stone door was opened, and the cold moonlight flowed, reflecting on the tall figure of the man at the door, forming a faint shadow on the ground.
Her somewhat hazy eyes suddenly brightened, and she looked at the man at the door with a hint of pleading.
The stone door was shut, blocking the moonlight, and the man was in the shadows, unable to see his face. Then, the wall lamps in the cells were lit, and suddenly the lights were bright.
Step by step, the man walked towards her. The green jade crown and the royal blue snowflake brocade robe are extremely luxurious.
His movements are very slow, but he is so elegant and calm, peerless and beautiful, and what makes people feel that the elegance is peerless, which is his face, which seems to be carved by a skilled carver, and his eyebrows are picturesque, and he is the best in the world.
She looked at him like a piece of driftwood, and involuntarily stretched out her hands.
"Master Hou, I was wrong, you let me go." Saying this is like using all your strength.
Her hands clenched into fists, and there was a fierce spitting in her heart for her weakness. said that she would fight to the end, but in the end she surrendered easily.
The man's cold gaze fell on her, his expression remained impassive, and he asked lightly, "Do you know what is wrong?" ”
Again, she thought fiercely. But the pain in her body didn't allow her to think about it at all, and it surged like a tide.
"I was wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't have had a good heart and let that child go."
"That's it?" The man's voice was still soft.
She was angry in her heart. Every question he asked seemed to be devouring her dignity bit by bit. What's more, with his methods, that child has already been poisoned.
"I don't dare anymore." She bit her lip in pain.
Is it that all her dignity has been trampled on by him, so that he will let her go?
The corners of the man's lips were slightly hooked, and his slender fingers touched her lips, and his gaze was deep, taking in all her expressions.
It's beautiful. Even if it is disfigured, the charm exuded from the bones is still so unparalleled in the world that it is unstoppable.
So he lured her into the darkest abyss step by step, just to keep her by his side. He wanted her to know that in this world, whether it was the deepest happiness or pain she felt, he gave her.
She couldn't get rid of him in her life.
The other hand wrapped around her waist, purple light flashed, the iron chain broke, his voice was mellow, and he said softly: "Minmin, you have always been smart, you should know that you have killed so many people, and you will never turn back." ”
She leaned weakly in his arms, her body surrounded by purple light, and the pain slowly lessened.
But his words made her feel that the pain had penetrated deep into her bone marrow.
yes, her hands were covered in blood and she couldn't turn back. She thought blankly.
"What do you call me?" He carried her out of the prison, and the moon was like water.
Her slightly closed eyes moved, and she knew that he was referring to the "Hou Ye". But shouldn't this title be his favorite? The rivers and lakes were once reckless, once feuded, supreme glory, and extreme glory. Compared to the title of Sect Master of the Elite Palace, he should prefer the title of Qi Anhou.
"Chonghua." She opened her eyes and looked at him like water, hiding the dissatisfaction and resentment in her heart.
He stared at her quietly, his eyes like deep pools.
She lowered her eyes and hid all emotion.
It's been so long, and I still don't know how to hide my emotions. He chuckled silently.
"To make up for this mistake, the next task is up to you."
She raised her eyes, the hatred in her eyes undisguised.
He accepted her gaze indifferently, and there was a cold threat hidden in his voice: "Minmin, have you forgotten what you just said?" ”
He gave her a cold look, and the last sentence blocked her retreat.
He said, "The poison in your body is about to attack again." ”
The poison in her body attacks once a month, and it must be controlled by medication, speaking of which, there is still half a month before the date of the poison.
"I'll go." She lowered her eyes in resignation and answered.
Her compromise made him sigh silently. That's probably the only way for them to bond with each other.
He hugged her and walked towards Lan Yuexuan.
At this time, the moon is slightly slanting to the west.
