In the Nine Heavens Palace, hearing it coming out of Zhu Shi's mouth, the tone seemed to be flat, but it was enough to make the phoenix immortal who was shocked like thunder in his heart, unable to calm down for a long time and unable to speak. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wan'er on the side, although she is not a party to the party, but when she thinks of herself from that sentence, she can't help but feel quite sentimental in her heart, just because of such a love, I am afraid that she will never be able to get it again in this life!

After a while, Feng Xian came back to her senses from the completely unfamiliar sweetness, pretending to be indifferent and stubborn, "Why do you think I need protection?"

When Zhu Shi heard this, he stopped talking, his eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Phoenix and Wan'er, and then said softly, "I know your identity and what you are doing, and I am very sure that if you continue to insist on going on like this, you will definitely not be able to leave alive in the end!"

Feng Xian was stunned, "But what does this have to do with you?"

When the words came out, Zhu Shideng was stunned, his mouth opened slightly, and he didn't know what to say.

Wan'er is very sure that Fengxian and Zhu Shi have feelings for each other twice, but I don't know why Fengxian would say like this. The embarrassing scene made her very uncomfortable. So Wan'er hesitated for a while, and suddenly stepped forward and walked to Fengxian's side, "Your wound is cracked, sit down first, and I'll help you deal with it." ”

Feng Xian's expression was lonely, and she didn't know why she said such things inexplicably just now, but the words she said were like water spilled out, and she couldn't take them back. When her heart ached, she avoided Zhu Shi's gaze and sat down following Wan'er's voice.

Because the wounds were all over Feng Xian's back, if she wanted to deal with it, she had to untie her clothes, Wan'er squatted, and when she was about to untie it, she saw that Feng Xian's right hand, which was still barely moving, tightly grasped the corner of her clothes and prevented her from untying it. At first, Wan'er didn't know why, but when she saw Feng Xian's cheeks flushed with shame, she immediately understood.

Wan'er raised her head to meet the stunned Zhu Shi's gaze, thinking about what kind of words to say, so as to take the stunned young man in front of her away.

The phoenix on the side saw that although the memory of Fenggu and the phoenix fairy in his mind had long been blurred. Judging from the two contacts with the phoenix, her stubborn man-like personality has given the phoenix a deep memory, and at this moment, the phoenix can't help but be surprised when she sees her showing such a shy appearance.

Sure enough, no matter how strong and stubborn a woman is, when facing an intentional man, the kind of daughterly affection in her body cannot be hidden.

Phoenix sighed secretly, raised her feet and walked slowly towards the ice gate, and when she passed by Zhu Shi's side, she paused. He said softly, "Zhu Shi, let's go and wait outside the palace!"

"Ahh.....h

"It's nothing, go out quickly, a girl's family needs to be treated, you big man, watch closely what is going on!" Phoenix was a little annoyed, and sighed in his heart, why does this person still look like a swordsman, why is his head so stupid.

However, no matter how much he didn't understand the amorous feelings, Phoenix's words were so straightforward, Zhu Shi heard this, and on his fair cheeks, an embarrassing flush immediately appeared, "Oh, good." With an inaudible response, Zhu Shi almost turned around and followed the figure of the phoenix leaving.

After seeing Zhu Shi out of the Nine Heavens Palace, the shyness on Fengxian's face gradually subsided, Wan'er saw this, covered her mouth and smiled, and a slight laughter came into Fengxian's ears, causing her to look back at the same time, the blush on her face had a tendency to go and return.

Although she didn't know if she would get a response, Wan'er still treated Fengxian's wound and asked softly, "How did you meet him?"

When Feng Xian heard this, the feeling of her body shaking violently quickly spread along Wan'er's fingers that touched the wound. After a long time, I heard Feng Xian speak, "Tonight is just the second time we met, I didn't know that he would break into this place at night for me." ”。 The inaudible words seem to be plain, but when Wan'er hears them, they are full of sweetness.

Wan'er raised her head slightly and glanced at Zhu Shi's back outside the ice gate, "He looks like a good man." ”

"Is it?" said the impatial, as if asking herself, "but it has nothing to do with me. ”

"Why?" Wan'er asked in confusion.

Feng Xian shook her head slightly, and the helplessness in her tone immediately appeared, "I still have too many things to do, and I can't worry about anyone." ”

"Oh, that's right. Wan'er responded softly, "But there are actually things that people can never do in this life, even if they think they have completed their goals now, there will definitely be new things to do when the time comes." However, what to do and what not to do is actually only a thought, and it depends on your own choice. But there are some people in life, once you miss it, it may be a lifetime. ”

Fengxian clearly heard Wan'er's words, but this time, she didn't answer again.

Outside the Nine Heavens Palace, standing in front of the ice fence, overlooking the phoenix of endless red medicine, sighed lightly and asked, "Why did you break into this Nine Heavens Palace at night? Don't you know the rules of this place?" However, although Phoenix said this, there was no hint of reproach in his tone.

Zhu Shi looked up at the end of the city, the majestic and majestic holy palace. His face was full of joy knowing that the phoenix was still alive, and he couldn't see the slightest fear. It's not that I don't know, it's just that before, I didn't think too much about it, and I walked in without hesitation, and the only concern in my mind was whether she was okay or not. ”

Phoenix nodded, her love for him, she didn't understand. "You are the second son of the Vermilion Bird Mansion, you must know that the phoenix fairy is from the Phoenix Valley. ”

Zhu Shi's head moved slightly, "Those things, for me, don't have much impact, the right and wrong between Fenggu and the Immortal City, an ordinary person like me, don't want to mix, I don't want to mix." ”

"However, in troubled times, sometimes I can't help myself!" Phoenix sighed.

But seeing Zhu Shihu's relieved smile, "It's true that you can't help yourself, but your feet are born on your body, if you have to face it and don't want to face it, it's not a difficult thing to escape." ”

When the phoenix heard the sound, the nerves in her brain jumped suddenly, she didn't think about it before, if the king was not the king of the immortal city, but just an ordinary man, would the two of them be free to choose to stay away from all right and wrong, find a remote mountain forest, be self-sufficient, have children, and live a life like a fairy and a daughter.

I can't count how many late nights, she woke up from a lonely and cold sleep, looking through the ice gate at the distant holy palace that seemed to be impossible to reach forever, and the questions in her heart were surging, why she couldn't have feelings for him, could it be just because he was the king of this immortal city.

The phoenix spoke, and between the words, there was a sour taste unconsciously appeared. "It's not difficult to escape, but if she leaves everything with you, I'm afraid it's hard to climb to the sky. ”

Zhu Shi of Mu Ne couldn't hear the sourness between Phoenix's words at all, and simply asked suspiciously, "Why do you say this?"

Phoenix smiled faintly, with sadness in his smile.

"It's just because Feng Xian is not an unknown woman from Feng Valley. She's the princess of Fenggu!"

In the silent night, Zhu Hou shuttled alone in the streets and alleys, on the side of the iron-masked man in the abandoned house in the south of the city, the information had been passed over, although he didn't understand why the iron-masked didn't show the slightest surprise, but that person's style was like this, and Zhu Hou didn't care too much.

At the back doors of the four major inns in the city, figures flashed like ghosts, talking softly with Zhu Hou in the shadows, those people had different expressions after learning that the plan was exposed, but at this time Zhu Hou had no time to care about those things.

When the time was approaching, Zhu Houfang returned to the Suzaku Mansion with heavy steps, as if he had aged for several years overnight, sitting alone on a rattan chair, under the bright moon, pouring himself a glass of spirits, he had not been touched by the smell of wine for nearly ten years, for some reason, on the way back to the house, he suddenly remembered to drink a cup to relieve his sorrows.

The liquor entered the intestines, the burning internal organs were burning, and a different kind of pain and comfort rippled in his body, which made his eyes overflow with essence, and the smile mask that had been worn for a long time seemed to have become a real expression, and the sense of relaxation that had not surfaced for a long time was fleeting.

In front of the door, I heard footsteps, and Zhu Cong, who had been waiting for his father to come back, stood under the green willow tree, watching Zhu Hou's every move with a sad face.

In the few hours that Zhu Hou disappeared, countless ways to deal with the situation appeared in his mind, but none of them could work.

A glass of spirits, two sips of alcohol, as if the whole body can exude heat in this cold, Zhu Hou, turned his head slightly to look at Zhu Cong, looking at his eldest son, who has been following closely from beginning to end, never abandoning, not good-looking, and has never been able to marry his daughter-in-law. He smiled bitterly and beckoned to Zhu Cong, cordially except for the greeting he had heard when he was a child, "Cong'er, come here, have a drink with me." ”

After speaking, Zhu Hou's rare face was calm, his eyes seemed to be condensed, and he stared at the wine jug in his hand tightly, as if he was out of a trance, his thoughts were stagnant, and he didn't know what to do next.

It wasn't until Zhu Cong's movement sounded, Zhu Hou heard the sound, he suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly poured two glasses, I don't know if it was because of panic, or what, his hands seemed to tremble suddenly, so that the wine spilled on the stone table.

The aroma of wine wafted away, and wisps of them swam into Zhu Cong's nose, he took a deep breath, suppressed the dullness in his heart, and sat down firmly beside Zhu Hou, "Father......"

"Have a drink first. At the same time as Zhu Hou's words that could not be refused came out, he had already handed over the wine glass in his hand.

Zhu Cong took it, didn't say a word, drank it all, Zhu Hou stared blankly at the eldest son in front of him, who could be regarded as ugly, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little trance.

I saw that he was like a model, neatly picked up another glass of wine, and opened his mouth to drink wildly.

The father and son, when they drank silently to the wine jug and there was no longer half a drop of wine, they were steaming, lying down unrestrained, facing the bright moon, speechless for a long time.

Zhu Hou looked at the bright moon hidden behind the night, and suddenly asked, "Sakura has already rested?"

After Zhu came back with a nod, he immediately entered the room and never came out again. ”

Zhu Hou listened to the words and smiled lightly, the feeling of being a person was stirring in his chest, so that he couldn't help but start thinking about the past. For a long time, "Son, in fact, I suddenly figured out a lot of things just now, and some of the things we did and everything we wanted to do may be useless at all." ”

Because of the strong wine, the whole person was excited, even if Zhu Cong heard such remarks, he was not too surprised, but asked lightly, "Why did my father say that?"

Zhu Hou looked up at the sky, "Do you remember a few days ago, the king pretended to be angry and came to my Suzaku Mansion to look for Ying'er?"

"Remember, the reason why the king came was because Sakura broke into the Nine Heavens Palace without permission and persuaded the phoenix to leave. ”

The painful smile on Zhu Hou's face was even stronger, "At that time, I only thought that the king came because of the phoenix, and I didn't think too much, but at this moment, I can't help but think that if he appeared in my Vermilion Bird Mansion, he would have come to me at all, and it had nothing to do with the phoenix." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Cong wondered.

"The matter has come to this, the Xuanwu Mansion knows my intentions, and the Qinglong and White Tiger Mansions, like conjoined babies, must have already known it. The old boy in Longshan, although he is not dead, is probably not in this immortal city anymore. Thinking about it, at this time, what could he do if he chose to disappear? I'm afraid that with his temperament, he looked down on everything, and made a golden cicada out of his shell and went out to wander. You think, for so many years, he hasn't made any moves, but now he has stepped out of such a dangerous move, I think, Long Shan is probably the first person to see through everything. ”

Zhu Cong'an listened quietly and did not interject.

Zhu Hou let out a long sigh, "This city still belongs to the king after all, since my intentions are no longer a secret in the other three prefectures, so come to think of it, the king has already known about it." ”

"Since he knows that I intend to take away and even destroy the tumor of the Immortal City, why is he willing to hide it and let me do whatever it wants. I hadn't been able to figure out this question until the evening, when I met Xuan Yuan, and the answer appeared vaguely. ”

"That's because what I'm about to do is also the scene he wants to see!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Cong's strength was half awake, and his words were all surprised and he stammered a little, "Father, you mean, the king wants to see the immortal city destroyed!"

Zhu Hou nodded solemnly, and smiled helplessly, "Yes, I thought that the situation was all under my control, but I never thought that I had already become the king's pawn unconsciously, once, I thought he was just a young man, a young man who came unexpectedly and got the throne by coincidence, but where did I think that his scheming and his city would be so terrifying!"

When Zhu Cong heard this, he didn't know what to do, and asked directly, "Why, why does the king want to see this city destroyed, father, what else do you know?"

Zhu Hou turned his head, and his eyes were covered with a layer of mist similar to tears at some point, only to hear him say with emotion, "That's because this city, this immortal city, shouldn't exist in the first place, the disaster a thousand years ago, if it wasn't for Xuanxi's insistence on saving it, everything should have ended long ago!"

"Father, what's going on?" Zhu Cong was a little anxious.

Zhu Hou shook his head, "Son, I only have three children in my life, and Sakura and Shi'er have long been out of the matter, and it shouldn't be difficult for them to get out and save their lives." Only you, only you have been following me, doing this foolish thing, but it doesn't matter, everything has not been officially carried out yet, those secrets, you don't need to know, you don't need to know, as long as that, you can get out, you can save your life, only then can you have the opportunity to find a place where the king can't find you, and live a peaceful life!"

Zhu Cong was shocked, his body straightened up, and in his pupils, a sudden shock appeared in the sky, "Father, do you want me to escape?"

Zhu Hou nodded, "Yes, escape, run away tomorrow, escape as far away as possible, incognito, be an ordinary person!"

Zhu Cong, who was completely sober, no longer did useless work to ask the reason, he only asked one sentence, only one question that was most important to him, "What about you?"

When Zhu Hou heard this, the mist in his eyes still condensed into tears after all, but it was not the tears of fear of impending death, but unwillingness, but tears of helplessness.

He laughed out loud and self-deprecatingly, and that laughter sounded more like the cry of an evil spirit in the middle of the night. "I can't escape, I've gone too far, too deep, there are too many people waiting to go to the point of no return, if I escape, you can't get out. So I'm going to stay, even if I know that there is a dead end ahead, I'm going to stand until the end!"

Zhu Cong, who got the answer, the surprise on his face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a calm and calm face, not afraid of anything or anyone's calmness.

He smiled.

"Father, it is never possible for a person like me to live an ordinary life. I know that very well. Since you have to walk the last leg of the road, then I will accompany you. Leave the chance of survival to Zhu Shi and Zhu Ying, this is what the two of them deserve!"
