03 Fight in the dark
If she could find a place in this city where no one was, she really wanted to cry out loud, so that she could release the pain she had been suppressing in her heart. Maybe because she was too sad, her hand was shaking every time she took the wine bottle, and the wine would be spilled every day, and finally she was afraid that Yu Qing next to her would see her displeasure, so she lied that she couldn't drink because her injury had not healed, and she didn't object, and when they drank to their heart's content, she heard Jielan ask carefully: "Such a big event, I hope my friends can be present to celebrate me, if they are no more, how can this be called a big wedding?" ”
What Jielan was referring to was naturally Long Yi and Qi Xue, she knew in her heart that she was asking Qi Xue and Black Pig to take care of Chengfeng, but in fact, she was blocking them from being with her, so as not to affect her decision, and finally regretted not wanting to become the queen of the city.
Yu Qing held Jielan's hand and said warmly: "Don't worry, I will let them accompany you on the wedding day, but now, they seem to be very worried about your seriously injured friend, so they are refining pills for him?" ”
"Refining pills? Didn't you let Qingjun treat Chengfeng? Why make pills? Jielan didn't understand.
"Although Qingjun has the power of peerless resurrection, he can't really resurrect people, so naturally he needs to cooperate with the pills of the imperial doctor to treat it well." Yu Qing held Jielan's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that her heart would leave.
Jielan doesn't know if this is true or false, but since it is good for Chengfeng, then there is nothing, after all, this big wedding is not the marriage she expected, and Qi Xue will make herself sad instead.
Jielan snorted, and didn't ask for Qi Xue to accompany her, although she felt lost, she was helpless.
After the officials drank for three rounds, they dispersed the banquet, Yu Qing sent Jielan back to the 'Jiaolan Palace' and went back to the main hall to deal with government affairs, and Jielan stayed alone in the Jiaolan Palace, but she was like a year, she was anxious and anxious, and she didn't know what to do to vent her depressed feelings, she could only wait quietly until it was dark, until late at night, and then look forward to the dawn.
It's as if this life is no longer interesting, just like this day after day.
In the middle of the night, Jielan really couldn't sleep, she came to the courtyard, smelled the fragrance of flowers, and suddenly her thoughts fluctuated, thinking of this night, looking at the lights in the distance, Jielan once again remembered the scene of hugging each other when she was in the Zongmu Tower, but at this time she remembered the thought was different from the past, now she is already the queen of the city that is about to become the Qing Zhou City, everything in the past must be said goodbye even if she does not say goodbye, this pain is not known to the person who is far away in the royal city?
She stood in the courtyard for a long time, under a laurel tree, looking at the starry sky, and suddenly there was a glimmer of hope, which was slim, but she still looked forward to it.
She summoned Biluo out of her body, held it in her arms, stroked its small and delicate head, and said to Biluo: "Biluo, do you know that I am going to become the queen of this Qing Zhou City, what do you think will happen to that person if he knows?" ”
Biluo cried softly, sticking out its tongue and licking Jielan's cheek, as if to comfort its master.
Jielan rubbed its body and said, "Go tell the person in the royal city, tell him that I am about to become the queen of Qing Zhou City, if he still remembers me as a person, then ask him to come to Qing Zhou City and send me a blessing gift!" She threw Biluo into the air, and the small and delicate Biluo suddenly changed into a riding beast, and he looked at Jielan in the air, as if he was saying goodbye for a long time.
Jielan said softly: "Go! Don't let anyone find out about you, you know? ”
Bi fell into the air and let out a soft 'whoosh', then turned around and galloped away in the direction of the Northern Royal City, and soon its figure disappeared into the night, leaving with Jielan's only hope.
The majestic wind in the middle of the night blows, gently caressing Jielan's sad face, the wind carries a strong fragrance of osmanthus flowers so that the garden is full of fragrant taste, Jielan does not want to go back to the 'Banana Orchid Palace', she sits under the laurel tree, raises her hand to catch the falling osmanthus petals, thinking that she is the same as this petal, even if it blooms, it can't escape the fate of the drifting.
When Jielan closed her eyes and felt the refreshing atmosphere around her, she suddenly felt an awe-inspiring murderous aura, she was busy opening her eyes, but saw a long sword shining with starlight color pointed at her throat, and the person holding the sword was wearing a black robe, obviously to prevent being easily discovered.
She was startled, and she hurriedly stood up, looked at the person wearing a black cloak covering the upper half of her face, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The sword-wielding man slowly lowered the cloak and hat, revealing her delicate face, only to see that this person's eyes were angry, and her face was cold, but it was Princess Jing who fought with Jielan yesterday.
Jielan was also surprised, she heard that Princess Jing was punished and grounded for a month by the city lord, but she didn't expect her to appear here, and pointed her sword at herself, some of the sudden Jielan didn't know how to deal with it, but said: "Why did Princess Jing come here?" What do you mean by pointing your sword at me? ”
"What do you mean?" Princess Jing gritted her teeth with hatred, "Yesterday, some people thought that they would not marry Brother Cheng, but I didn't expect that in this short day, you will be cheeky to let the city lord seal you as the queen of the city, I Yu Jing has not seen anyone so shameful until now, but it doesn't matter, I will never let someone like you become the queen of the city, and you don't want to take away my city brother, and you don't think that your identity will be higher than mine." ”
It turned out that she only cared that her city brotherhood no longer loved her, and that her status was threatened by another woman, this arrogant and impudent princess, for these boring things, pointed a sword at her, which made her not know whether to laugh or cry, she only said: "Since I agreed to the city lord's request to be his wife, then this is the truth, whether I am willing or not, I will fulfill my promise, as for whether my decision hinders you, it is your business, I don't care, and I have to remind you." If I shout loudly, if the guards find out that your princess not only disobeyed the royal order, but also wanted to assassinate me who is about to become the queen of the city late at night, I think that even if you are noble, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape the responsibility, so I advise you to go back to your palace, and don't come to me again, isn't the lesson of that day enough? ”
Not to mention the events of that day, this mention made Princess Jing even more angry, and she shouted: "Do you think Brother Cheng really cares about you? He just values you as a blood demon, and Brother Cheng has always been very possessive of the Blood Demon, so to Brother Cheng, you are just a tool for strengthening Qing Zhou City, and you are his biological sister, his only sister-in-law, do you say that he cherishes me or will he defend you? ”
When Jielan heard this, she didn't know why, her heart suddenly felt like she had been pricked by some needle, and for a moment she couldn't breathe, although she didn't love Yu Qing, but she always felt that Yu Qing was very affectionate to herself, even if she was unwilling to marry him in this life, but for the sake of his affection, she shouldn't be too bad, but at this time, it seemed that her last trace of comfort was shattered.
When Princess Jing saw the change in her complexion, she knew that she had believed what she said, so she smiled and said, "What? Understood, since you understand that you don't leave with your demon who is going to die, don't stay here anymore, and beg my city brother every day, don't you feel ashamed to do this? ”
This rude Princess Jing has made Jielan unbearable, and the insult to Chengfeng makes her unforgivable, she said hatefully: "Please be lenient with your words, don't insult my friend." ”
"Since you're afraid of people talking, let's leave quickly, don't appear in Qingzhou City again, you are not welcome here." Princess Jing reprimanded.
"If the princess wants me to go, please go and tell the city lord yourself, if the city lord is willing to let us go, then we will not stay." Jielan resisted.
Princess Jing's face sank and said, "So you will never leave?" ”
"I've made it clear, do I need to say it again?" Jielan was not afraid of the other party at all.
Princess Jing sneered and said, "Then don't blame me for being unkind." As soon as she raised her long sword, the golden light of the long sword flashed out, and she stabbed straight at Jielan's throat.
At first, Jielan underestimated this princess, but when she swung a sword, Jielan felt that the spiritual power contained in the opponent's sword was by no means under herself, if her injuries were completely healed, she could still compete with her, but now that she was seriously injured, it was extremely difficult to win her, and she could not use the power of the shadowless sword, if she was a little careless, it would be a sin to seal her soul.
Jielan hurriedly summoned a light blade, and while resisting the other party's approach, she said, "I don't want to fight with you, you can leave quickly!" ”
Princess Jing shouted as if she was crazy, and stabbed at Jielan with another sword, "I won't stop until you die!" ”
Her sword aura was strong, the golden light was dazzling and strong, Jielan's light blade was destroyed by her several times, and Jielan was also forced to retreat step by step.
A blue and gold light shone on the courtyard, enveloping it in suffocating death, and the clanging sound of swords colliding echoed through the court, awakening everyone.
Suddenly, a golden light was divided into two sword qi and shot towards Jielan, Jielan blocked the blow that hit her abdomen, but did not block the light that hit her shoulder, suddenly, Jielan only felt a 'whoosh' sound between her shoulders, the flesh splashed, and blood gushed out, she screamed in pain, and then took a few steps back, half-squatting in the corner of the courtyard, she gasped, covering the wound with her right hand, like a wounded lion guarding the enemy's attack, her eyes stared at this ruthless Princess Jing.
It seems that the other party came to her with the mood of putting himself to death, and if she repeatedly avoided it, I was afraid that she would really be killed under this laurel tree.
Even if she wants to die, she doesn't die in the hands of such a vexatious girl, and even if she wants to die, it won't be because of her.
Jielan gritted her teeth, and suddenly lost her mind and launched a fierce attack, she stood up again, and with a loud shout, she swung out the blue moon blade and threw it at Princess Jing.
Suddenly, the blue moon blade formed countless sharp weapons like a scimitar and attacked Princess Jing, Princess Jing was also shocked, she hurriedly jumped up, trying to escape the attack of the moon blade, but she escaped the first few moon blades, and the last moon blade turned around again like a whirling knife, slashing the right leg of Princess Jing who stopped in mid-air, Princess Jing grieved, and fell from the air, falling heavily to the ground, she wanted to get up again, but the wound on her right leg was extremely deep, and the wound hurt her heart when she moved slightly, But this princess Jing has a very strong temperament, even if she risks breaking her leg, she has to fight with Jielan to win or lose, she wants to stand up and continue to fight.
But Jielan knew that as long as she stood up again, then this battle would probably be endless, she hurriedly endured the severe pain all over her body, jumped up negligently, bullied Princess Jing's side, swung out the moon blade, aimed at her throat, and said, "If you fight again, I'm afraid you will die here." ”
Princess Jing's eyes were like electricity, she hated Jielan extremely much, she wanted to get up again and kill the person in front of her who had failed miserably, but she couldn't move at all.
Just as the two of them were holding each other, they heard a rush of footsteps behind them, and then heard everyone's exclamations, followed by the scolding of the city lord of Yuqing, "What are you doing here?" ”
