"Give up Crouching Tiger Village?"

Shen Xiaokun said this sentence a little stiffly, turned his head to look at me for a while, and suddenly let out a sneer, and said coldly: "Hmph, Yue Qingying, you really did everything for Pei Yuanxiu." ”

I looked at him, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"You want me to give up Crouching Tiger Village!" He gritted his teeth and smiled, his snow-white teeth showed a bit hideous, and he said slowly: "You obviously know that Crouching Tiger Village is my only reliance, if I lose here, there will be nothing, you actually let me give up!" Hmph, your trick is really powerful, a soldier who surrenders without a fight, you want to help him completely solve me! ”

I frowned and didn't say anything for a moment.

If you want to say angry, it's not too angry, I'm a bit like Shen Xiaokun like "Xiucai meets soldiers, it's unreasonable", and there is no need to worry about a reckless young man. It's just that I've been wronged so much, and I don't have a good temper. Just looking up at his young face, compared to the past life, there are still some traces of vicissitudes, I calmed down and said, "Do you think I want to harm you?" ”

"......" He glared at me, but did not speak.

I took a deep breath and said patiently: "Shen Xiaokun, I don't care what you think of me, but since you have opened your mouth, I naturally want to tell you what I think, and my reasons." I don't want either you and Pei Yuanxiu to be victimized, because he saved my daughter and raised the child for so many years, and you, obviously have old grudges with me, but you can repay the grievances with virtue regardless of the previous suspicions, and you have not let my daughter be wronged, I am really grateful to you. ”

“……”

"You are all my benefactors and friends in my heart. I don't want to be on the opposite side of the two of you, and I don't want to see either of you doomed. ”

“……”

"I also know that the grievances between you and him cannot be resolved by me in a few words, I only have one thing to say to you."

He looked up at me, "You say." ”

"It is not easy for you to survive in the Juma River Valley, and you should cherish your life more than others."

He didn't speak, but his eyes went deep, deep.

"This Crouching Tiger Village," I turned my head and looked at the large camp outside the gate, as well as the big men who were still patrolling the handles, it was indeed not easy to run a bandit den into today's situation, but-"I know, it is not easy for you to run like this, but now it is your drag, you stay here, you can only wait for the day when you will be cleared, and the difference in strength between you and Pei Yuanxiu is huge, and you yourself know very well." In that case, why can't you let it go? ”

He gritted his teeth, but still didn't speak, just pinched the back of the chair next to him with one hand, and the clattering sound of the pinch almost crumpled the wood into powder.

After a long time, he said with difficulty: "I can only give up here?" ”

"Yes."

"Don't I have any other choice?"

I smiled faintly: "Shen Xiaokun, you have read the art of war no less than me, but you came to ask me the way out, do you know what the reason is?" Because you yourself know that you can only give up here to have a chance of life, but you are not willing to accept this fact, so you will ask me. And what I sue you is the cruelest truth that you must face! ”

He gritted his teeth so hard that I could almost hear them grinding and rattling.

I don't know how long it took, but the tense expression on his face finally eased and he let out a long breath.

I understood that he had figured it out in this way, and was about to talk to him, but I saw him turn his head again and look at me with a strange look: "What about you?" ”

"Me?"

"After you get out of Crouching Tiger Village, what are you going to do?"

I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "I, what should I do?" ”

Shen Xiaokun looked at me with the corner of his mouth hooked, and his eyes were a little cold: "Are you going back with Pei Yuanxiu?" ”

“……”

Shen Xiaokun sneered again: "I'm not wrong? Now that you have arrived in Jiangnan, and your daughter was raised by him, it seems that you are just right? What about the others? ”

“……”

"That mud leg in the capital, what should I do?"

I frowned slightly and looked up at him.

I don't know what kind of purpose he is in to say these words to me, mentioning Qinghan in front of me, the situation in front of me is already chaotic enough, and he mentioning me and Qinghan, it will only make people's hearts more chaotic.

However, this time, my heart and my face were calm and unchanged, without even a trace of fluctuation, just looked at him lightly, and said with a little coldness in his voice: "This, it doesn't seem to be something you care about, right?" ”

Shen Xiaokun squinted at me slightly.

Then, he suddenly sneered and said, "You're right, you have nothing to do with that mud-legged man at all. It's just that when I saw the two of you in the valley, tsk, life and death inseparable, I didn't expect - hmph, it turns out that your relationship is nothing more than that. ”

My face was under the white veil, and I couldn't see any change, only I knew, and my heart beat a little.

He mentioned that at the bottom of the valley, I was full of hope during that time, and I was looking forward to the feeling of happiness that made people happier than happiness, but at that time, I never imagined that the road between myself and Qinghan would come to this day, and it would be reminded by Shen Xiaokun, who had fought with us for life and death.

Is it really just me and him?

My mouth tightened into a line, and I slowly walked out of the table.

Shen Xiaokun had been standing behind me and looking at me, and suddenly said, "Although I don't care about your business, there is a piece of news, I think it would be better for you to know." ”

Message?

I was stunned for a moment, then turned my head to look at him: "What news?" ”

Shen Xiaokun said: "I have a team of people coming back from Changde, they met a few fleeing bhikshunis over there, and they thought that there was something to destroy the Buddha, but after careful questioning, they found out that there was a temple on the border of Shu that caught fire, and many people died, the temple was destroyed, and the rest of the people escaped. ”

I frowned slightly and said, "Yes, what temple?" ”

"Huangze Temple."

“……！”

I only felt that my chest sank, as if a huge stone suddenly pressed down, and I even suffocated my breath, I don't know how long it took before I could barely find my voice, a little incredulous: "Huangze Temple? ”

"Yes."

"Huangze Temple?!"

"That's right, it's Huangze Temple."

Huangze Temple, Huangze Temple!

It is the mother of the eldest princess Pei Yuanzhen, the place where Zhao Shuyuan became a monk!

My brain buzzed, I lost consciousness for a while, I don't know how long it took, my mind was still a mess, and I just said in a daze: "Then, what about the mother of the eldest princess?" ”

Shen Xiaokun said: "They are not familiar with that side, so they didn't ask." But when they came back, many people died, and only a few young and strong escaped, and she—" he looked at me, "she must have died." ”

It should be dead, Zhao Shuyuan - is she already dead?

How so?

I just feel like my heart is numb. Just a while ago, I just met the real Yue Qingying, and I learned that she was really a monk in Huangze Temple, and had a friendship with Zhao Shuyuan, and I also knew that Zhao Shuyuan had suffered over the years. Although she is a lady and enjoys the glory of the world, but now it seems that she has hardly lived a comfortable life, even the whereabouts of her own children are unknown, and this matter has just been known to me, and I don't even have time to figure it out, all of a sudden, Huangze Temple is on fire, and she is dead.

I can't be regarded as liking Pei Yuanzhen too much, after all, I am in a relationship with her rivals, but I am also very clear about her situation, although she was born in the royal family and is full of flowers, but the real relative, she only has this mother left.

Now, even my mother is gone.

I know it's a devastating blow for a daughter.

What is left around her?

It seems that she was born in Qiluo Cong, the scenery on the surface, but in fact, all the scenery is the wind and frost sword, and it is difficult to have real friends in the imperial city.

Who else is beside her?

Who else...... This?

My heart twitched for a while, even my fingers were trembling, and I pinched the edge of the table tightly, I didn't know whether I wanted to support myself or crush something, even Shen Xiaokun frowned, subconsciously walked up to me, and said in a low voice: "Hey, Yue Qingying, what's wrong with you?" ”

“……”

"What's wrong with you? You won't get sick, will you? ”

“……”

"Hey!"

He stretched out his hand and pushed me lightly and heavily, but this time he pushed me and almost fell on my back, which startled Shen Xiaokun, and hurriedly grabbed my arm and helped me: "What are you doing?" ”

I looked up at him at a loss, completely lost my reaction, and only muttered for a long time before saying, "I, I'm fine." ”

"You look like you're fine."

"I ......"

I couldn't open my mouth, and when I opened my mouth, I didn't even sound like my own, and I didn't feel the urge to cry, but I just listened to the trembling voice, as if I was going to cry the next moment.

In fact, over the years, I have really gotten used to it, used to a lot of things slipping through my fingertips, used to asking for it, not getting it, but I can't tell myself about it—I might lose him.

Will I lose him?

Shen Xiaokun's thick and powerful hand pinched my arm, he may not have cared about his strength, but it really hurt, and it was because of that pain that I was a little more awake, listening to a noisy sound in the distance outside, and then, several heavy and hurried footsteps broke the silence in the hall, and several big men rushed in: "Big brother!" ”

Seeing that their expressions were wrong, Shen Xiaokun immediately let go of me and stepped forward and said, "What's wrong?" ”
