On the school ground, Ai Li was competing with a military attendant. The two of them were densely surrounded by people watching the excitement.

In the past few days, there has been no trace of Cangshi, and I don't know what he is doing. Is he hiding from himself? Ai was bored for a while, and his subordinates slammed the soldiers on the opposite side out hard.

"Yay!"

"Wow, Benhu also lost!"

"The seventh man!"

There was a lot of cheering around, and Ai Li came to the school every day to practice with the soldiers, and they no longer saw her as a woman, but a real opponent.

"Who's coming?" Ai Li wiped his sweat and raised his head and asked.

Ai Li had been in the barracks until dark, and after dinner, he said goodbye. But no matter how much the soldiers tried to persuade them, they would not drink the wine.

Ai Li dragged her tired steps towards the guest room, the annoying autumn wind kept blowing, blowing the ends of her hair and her heart.

He was the same age as himself, and he was now twenty-six years old. After all these years, he hasn't looked for himself, he should have a woman he likes, or maybe he has already married and had children...... After drinking that day, I did a lot of wayward things to him, which must have bothered him a lot.

Ai Li thought in a trance, looked up suddenly, and found a person standing outside her door, and she couldn't help but stop her steps.

The man was dressed in a blue-gray robe, standing proudly, revealing an ebony mask, and was looking at himself with sparkling eyes, shining like a cat's eye in the thin black twilight.

"You've been waiting for me?" Ai Li walked over briskly and asked as calmly as he could.

He nodded.

"Let's go in and talk." She opened the door and said.

He followed.

Entering the room, Ai Li pointed to the chair at the table and invited him to sit down, and asked lightly, "Is there something wrong?" ”

She was cold to him today, nothing like she had been when we first met that night. Do you regret that you hugged yourself after drinking that day? Not to mention his own identity and status, with his current dignity, I am afraid that no woman in the world will like him. His heart sank to the bottom at once, and the brilliance in his eyes dimmed. That's fine, so that you can die.

He secretly took a breath, calmed down, and said calmly: "I have already found out who the person I wanted to assassinate last time." ”

"Who is it?" She asked.

"It's the crown princess. I've taught her a lesson, and I don't think she'll dare to do anything in the future. ”

After Ai Li heard this, he was silent.

Cangshi peeked at her from under the ebony mask, she had an indescribable style in her contemplation, her willow eyebrows were light, her color was picturesque, her apricot eyes were slightly closed, and her neck was as white as a lotus root leaning forward slightly, outlining an elegant curve. He suddenly felt that she was so beautiful, which only made him even more ashamed of himself. He couldn't help lowering his eyes, and she was like a star in the sky, beyond his reach......

After a while, Ai Li raised his head and said with a solemn face: "Nie Jie, you stop it, you don't need to avenge the Li family's revenge." ”

Cangshi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were icy, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't understand." You don't want to have an accident, I can understand it, but why don't you want to take revenge on the Li family? ”

Ai Li stared at him and said seriously: "Let me ask you, do you know what the happiness of ordinary people is in the morning?" ”

Cangshi didn't know why she asked, and looked at her sideways with heavy eyes.

"The happiness of ordinary people in the morning is a bowl of soy milk and two fritters." Ai Li's apricot eyes shone with clear stars, and then said: "If there is a war, they will lose even this meager happiness. He had a great hatred for my family, but he was kind to the people. Although I don't want to admit it, he is indeed a generation of Ming Jun. My family's ancestral motto is: stop war with war, and kill when you encounter evil. My father also said that although the Li family's knife is a knife of killing, it should be used for protection. No matter how the elites change, the happiness of ordinary people will not change. You say that I am a woman, or you can scold me for being greedy for life and afraid of death and not avenging my family, but I don't want to fall into the fire and water of the people because of the revenge of my own family. You...... Stop it. ”

At the beginning of the moon, a crescent moon was poking its head out of the window beside her, reflecting her pretty face clearly and brilliantly under the bright and clear light.

"Ai Woman!" After a moment of silence, a frost rose in Cangshi's eyes, and he called out coldly, "You don't want to avenge the general's revenge, I have no right to say you." But please don't get in my way! With that, he got up and wanted to leave.

"Nie Jie!" Ai Li grabbed his hand, his long eyelashes trembled, pursed his thin lips, and said with determination: "Can you just listen to me this time?" It's not that I don't want to take revenge on my family, but I don't want you to have anything wrong! ”

Cang Shi paused, slowly turned his head, the frost in his black eyes did not slow down, and his tone was still cold, "Ai Nuxia, just like you are now a 'flame knife' Ai Li can't leave the rivers and lakes, there are some things that I have to do." Go back and be your hero, I'll be my own clown, and from now on, we will go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other. ”

"Nie Jie," Ai Li held him tightly, refusing to let go, "If you stop, I'm willing...... Since then, he has retired to the rivers and lakes. ”

Cangshi's body suddenly tensed, his black eyes became darker, gloomy and unpredictable, and he spoke very slowly: "Ai Nuxia, you are mistaken, I am not Nie Jie, my name is Cangshi." The Nie Jie in your mouth died seventeen years ago, please forget about him! ”

She opened her mouth puzzled: "You are obviously Nie Jie, why do you ......" He actually wanted her to forget him! Seventeen years, if she could forget, she would have forgotten long ago.

"Ai Woman!" He interrupted her and said, "If it wasn't for you last time, I would have done it a long time ago. If you don't want to help, please stay away from me. The frost in his eyes became thicker, and he looked directly at her with a cold light.

"What you have to do, I will definitely stop it!" Under the confrontation with his cold eyes, she couldn't help but say such words. It's that she can't forget, that's why she doesn't want him to disappear from her face again! She wanted nothing more than to let him live well.

"Then don't blame me for not remembering the old love." He narrowed his eyes, shook off her hand vigorously, and walked out without looking back.

Ai Li stared at his back, biting her lower lip tightly, the thick mist staining her eyes and wetting her cheeks. Wrong! I don't mean to say that. What I want to say is that you are the only relative of my Li family in this world, no matter what, please live well......

Cangshi walked with his back straight, a pair of dark eyes flickering under the ebony mask, and remorse scorched his body and mind like a flame, almost wanting to swallow him. She was still naïve as before, and his hands were already covered in blood. Some things are like arrows on the bow and have to be done, how can he face her again when he is deep in the quagmire?

He was wrong! Wrong from the start! He shouldn't have come to her, just kept looking at her from afar. When she heard her say that she was willing to retire for him, his heart almost stopped, he had no regrets in this life, and it was time to put an end to all this!

The moon falls on the lotus pond, and the autumn is thick.

"Sister Ai, Sister Ai!" Satisfaction shouted several times in succession, and Ai Li turned his head to look at him.

Ai Li said: "What's wrong? ”

Satisfactory asked: "Is this osmanthus pine nut cake delicious?" ”

Ai Li said: "It's delicious." ”

"But you've been holding it in your hand for a long time, and you haven't taken a bite yet!" A pair of watery eyes looked at Ai Li, and asked with concern, "Sister Ai, you are a little listless, can't you be sick?" ”

Ai Li said: "No, I'm just thinking about something. She took a bite of the pastry in her hand and smiled at him.

Looking at her with satisfaction, why do you have such an illusion, although Sister Ai is smiling, there seems to be a trace of trance sadness in her eyes.

He blinked his eyes and pouted, "Sister Ai, it's hard to see if the prince isn't here tonight, so I can invite you over." I don't like the way you look, not like you at all. Is there anything that upsets you? ”

Ai Li fixed his eyes on him and said worriedly: "Satisfactory, you can go out of the palace with me." I'm still not worried about you staying here. ”

"No, I want to stay here. Sister Ai, I'm not worth your effort. The prince treats me very well, you don't have to worry. "Don't look at her face, I don't want to look at her eyes, I said I don't like to see your eyes like this, why do you still look at me like this.

"Just because of the prince?" Ai Li looked incomprehensible.

"Yes." Xiangxin looked into the distance, and a bright brilliance rose in his eyes, "Sister Ai, you don't know, he is very ambitious. I'm going to stay here and see him become a good emperor! ”

"You ......" Ai Li looked at him, and he had a feeling that he didn't know how to persuade him. Whenever he talked about the crown prince, he became radiant, and he was completely like him before entering the palace.

Xiangxin turned his head to face Ai Li, and smiled: "Sister Ai, you must feel very bored staying here." You don't have to worry about me, go where you want to go. I'm fine here, I'll be fine. His expression was firm, and there seemed to be a sense of maturity in his gaze at that moment.

"Okay." Ai Li finally agreed. For the first time, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and this was true of Nie Jie's affairs, as well as the same of sympathy.

The night was deep, and there seemed to be no end to the long darkness.

*

In the dark passage, two people are walking rapidly.

They all wore ghost masks on their faces, but the difference was that one of them had a ghostly unicorn on the mask, and the other had a ghostly phoenix.

In front of the hall door, Mo Feng whispered, "Yinglin, you have to be careful!" When Xuanwu came back just now, he seemed to have told the Lord about you. When the Lord heard this, he was furious and angry. ”

Shadowin nodded slightly, pushed the door open and entered the hall.

In the hall, the candles were lit up.

One sat on a high chair, wearing the ghost face of the Jizo King, and under him stood Xuanwu.

Shadow Lin came to him and fell on one knee: "Lord! ”

King Jizo looked down at him and asked, "I heard that you have interfered with Xuanwu Hall's business a few times recently?" ”

Shadow Lin replied without concealment, "Yes." ”

The king of Jizo held back his anger and asked, "Why?" ”

Ying Lin raised his head and said, "Your Lord, the affairs in the city should have been under my jurisdiction, and it was the Xuanwu Hall Lord who overstepped his authority. ”

King Jizo sneered: "In order to raise funds, I have already approved Xuanwutang to take over more business, and you actually dare to obstruct him from doing things, and even kill the killer he sent." You're getting bolder! Did you know that by doing so, you would ruin the credibility we have built up so hard! He shouted, "Do you have any objections?" ”

Shadow Lin immediately fell to his knees and said loudly, "My subordinates have no second thoughts about the Lord. Phantom Pupil is my person, Xuanwu knew it, but he still sent someone to assassinate him. I hope the Lord will see clearly! ”

Xuanwu hurriedly bowed out and said, "Your Lord, the person who wants to kill the Phantom Pupil has a very high bid, and I think it is better for me to take it than this business falling into his house." What's more, I didn't really kill the Phantom Pupil, I just found someone to shoot him two arrows, and the Phantom Pupil was not damaged at all, but Shadow Lin killed the killer I sent, and interfered with my business again and again. See the Lord! ”

King Jizo waved his hand, let Xuanwu step aside, and said to Yinglin, "Your dragon vein has not been completed, and I have not punished you yet." Now that you have obstructed Xuanwu Hall several times, how can you teach me how to trust you? How to convince the public? ”

Yinglin said in a deep voice: "My subordinates are willing to be punished heavily. ”

King Jizo narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh? What kind of punishment are you willing to pay? ”

A moment of determination flashed in Shadow Lin's eyes, and with a flip of his palm, a jet-black short knife flashed out, piercing straight to the heart.

"Wait!" King Jizo picked up the porcelain cup on the table and threw it at the short knife.

The short knife was struck crooked, and the blade struck down an inch from the heart, piercing into Shadowlin's ribs until it reached the hilt. The red liquid rolled down the handle of the knife and fell to the ground drops, gradually gathering into a pool of bright red.

"Xuanwu, you go down first." King Jizo spoke.

Xuanwu bowed and exited the hall.

In the hall, only the Jizo King and the Shadow Lin were left.

King Jizo looked at Shadow Lin's back, which had not bent in the slightest even though he was injured and knelt down, and turned his face. He softened his breath and said, "Yinglin, you should know that I have high hopes for you. Back then, you were buried in the ground, not only your appearance was completely ruined, but also your tendons were broken and fractured, if I hadn't used the technique of changing your face and body to recast your strange bones, how would you have survived until now? ”

Yinglin immediately said loudly: "My subordinates will never forget the kindness of the Lord in this life. ”

King Jizo said kindly, "That's not what I meant. You, Xuanwu, Mofeng, Dark Dragon, and Black Tiger are all like my children, and over the years, we have shared weal and woe, like a family. I want families to be harmonious and not fighting. Do you understand? ”

Yinglin lowered his eyelids and whispered, "My subordinates understand. ”

King Jizo nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Among these people, I am most optimistic about you. In terms of martial arts and intelligence, they are outstanding, I hope you don't disappoint me. ”

Ying Lin was silent for a moment, raised his head, and said resolutely: "In order to repay the great favor of the Lord, my subordinates are willing to immediately implement the 'Prison' plan for the Lord." ”

King Jizo waved his hand and said, "Don't rush this matter, the Black Tiger Hall and the Dark Dragon Hall have already gone out to do something, and within a few months, there will be results." The 'Prison' project needs to be echoed in order to show its power. ”

"Lord, please forgive your subordinates for speaking out!" Ying Lin said sincerely: "My subordinates feel that the 'prison' plan should be carried out before the Black Tiger Hall and the Dark Dragon Hall make a move, so as to make the matter of the second hall more certain. ”

King Jizo thought for a while, and then slowly spoke: "You have a point, you can go with Mo Feng to handle this matter." ”

"Subordinates obey!" Shadow Lin clenched his fists and got up and walked out of the hall.

Behind him, King Jizo's gentle gaze grew sharper. The technique of changing the body and casting bones is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and over the years, it has only succeeded in the example of Yinglin. This person is extremely arrogant and intelligent, and it is really difficult to control. What he did just now was too much, but is he still trustworthy?

At the entrance of the hall, Mo Feng saw that Yinglin came out safely, and he was overjoyed and stepped forward. She suddenly caught a glimpse of the black knife under his side, and couldn't help frowning, wanting to step forward to check.

"Nothing." He pushed Mo Feng's hand away and walked away on his own. The bright red along the way accompanied his footsteps, gradually sinking into darkness. He broke her heart, and how could this knife pay for it?
