Chapter 8 How to Choose

I swear, I don't want to run, really, I want to explain, I want to apologize, as long as Mu Yao can forgive me and let me kneel down and lick the mud. It's just that these two legs just don't obey the call, and I slip away like a mouse meets a cat.

A voice told me to escape from the palace or my life would be in danger, but another voice said to me, "Have you forgotten your ancestors?" Shouldn't you forget about it? Killing people to pay for their lives, paying off debts, paying for the troubles they cause, everything is justified, just walk away like this, are you still worthy of being a person?

In front of the gate of Ning'an Palace, I suddenly stopped. Reason tells me that I must go back and confess, if Mu Yao can spare me for the sake of me saving her twice, it is my creation, which can be regarded as my great blessing and fate; If she doesn't forgive me, there's nothing to be afraid of!

After thinking about it, his heart suddenly brightened a lot, and he no longer hid, and walked towards Yueyao Pavilion with his head held high. I didn't think about the palace just now, but now I calmed down and suddenly found that this palace was surprisingly big. Five steps to a tall building, ten steps to a pavilion, the promenade is like a belt, twists and turns, and most importantly, wherever I stand, it looks and feels almost the same.

I just walked around, going around and around, until the sun set, hungry, when I looked up and saw the three gold-inlaid characters of "Ning'an Palace", I played a brain melon to myself, I was lost.

But I wondered, why didn't I see a single guard?

Time flies, the sun shakes off the last rays of afterglow, and night falls.

Overhead, the sound of the breeze blowing the clouds was faintly heard, and the dim light of the two candles swaying from the easternmost room of the Ning'an Palace shone out, slightly reflecting the grassy land, and a little farther away, it was a deep darkness, and the moon hid in the clouds, dimly shining with a strange halo.

I finally saw someone.

I let out a sigh of relief, strode through the door, and felt quite calm.

"Squeak", the door slowly opened, a strong musty smell came to my nose, through the faint light of the candle flame through the gap, I looked around the room, the tables and chairs were crooked, the surrounding was covered with dust and cobwebs, I covered my mouth and nose and frowned, why did that person live in such a place?

"Anyone?"

This is a nonsense, how can no one light the lamp? I shouted, firstly, to get the other person's attention, and secondly, to give myself courage.

"Bang Dang"!

In the black light, I didn't know what I kicked down, and a crisp sound sounded like a battle in the dark night, and at this moment, my heart stopped beating for at least three seconds.

Thankfully, it was still silent, and I finally heard my own heartbeat again.

"Yes...... Person...... Is it ...... Is it ...... ......"

It was just three words, but it made me call out "Mom" directly, I admit that I was a little scared at this moment, but the more scared, the more curious, the cat bent over, tiptoed, three steps forward and two steps back to the next room.

Through the narrow slit in the door, I saw a cloaked figure with a leaning back leaning on his body and intently gnawing on it.

Aha, I thought it was a ghost, but it turned out to be a thief! I suddenly became much bolder, and seeing him eat so deliciously, hunger instantly took over my empty stomach.

"Brother, those who see it have a share, give the stuttering ......"

I pushed the door in, speaking loudly and shouting.

The man was startled by my sudden arrival, cried out "ah", fell to the ground, and crawled around the corner.

What a thief is such a coward. I sneered and grabbed him. The man turned around, shaking his head and waving his hand, his chaotic gaze filled with horror.

"Ahh

I was so scared that I almost peed my pants. The man had a mouse in his hand and his mouth was wide open and full of blood. I was terrified, my legs trembled, I couldn't stand steadily, and I stumbled away.

"Don't kill me...... Don't kill me......" The man huddled in the corner, trembling.

"I'm not going to kill you...... You, you, you...... Don't kill me either...... Ah......h

"Mu Yao is not my daughter, not my daughter...... I don't say it, I don't say it...... Don't kill me, don't kill me......"

I was almost frightened, where did I still have the heart to think about the meaning behind this sentence, I escaped from Ning'an Palace as if I had lost my soul, and met a team of guards walking towards me in unison.

"Phew! Who dares to break into the palace at night!? ”

"I, it's me." I smiled, finally met someone who was normal, and I didn't know that danger had come.

"Are you ......?"

"Bastard! I'm a colt! Take me to the Yueyao Pavilion to meet the third princess. ”

This kind of thing, these little minions still don't know as well, I'm not Xianglin's sister-in-law, when I see someone, I want to say, so I put my hands behind my back, and put on a high posture.

Unexpectedly, as soon as my words fell, there were a few "bangs", and the guards drew their sabers one after another, and the leading guards shouted: "So bold, it's obviously a little thief, and he dares to pretend to be a horse!" Kill! ”

I thought I was playing with me, I didn't dodge, but went up, when the bright knife light fell on my head, I held my head high, and proudly roared: "Blind your dog eyes, you move me to try!" ”

I thought that the knife would stop in mid-air, but there was a sharp sound of breaking the air in my ears, and I was shocked to realize that something was wrong, and I couldn't dodge it, so I shouted "it", thinking that I would explain it here.

I could almost feel the blade cutting through my hair, just when I was dyingβ€”

"When"!

I don't know what it was that hit the blade and burst out a few sparks. Then, a black shadow leaped down from the high city wall, and kicked down the three guards beside me three times, and then the man dragged me and ran away.

"Catch the assassin!" The leader of the guards shouted, and a crowd of men screamed and chased after me.

"Thank you heroes for saving lives." I thanked him as I ran.

The man didn't speak, just dragged me around, and I couldn't help but look at my savior, with thinner arms, smaller palms, and shorter than me, with two small braids, and two small red flowers tied on the braids.

I can't think of anyone else who will come to my rescue except my sister, whom I have just met.

"It's Sister Xiaohong, right?" I know that my guess is nine times out of ten, but I still want to confirm it.

"I'll kill you if you talk again!"

She masked her face and yelled coldly, I was a lot more sure in my heart, sure enough, it was my little red sister.

In order not to make her angry, I stopped talking. I thought she would take me to see Mu Yao, and even I thought about how to explain, but Xiaohong took me to her bedroom.

"My sister ...... "I don't know what she wants to do, it's completely illogical."

Xiaohong probed her head at the door for a while to make sure that no one was chasing her, and then closed the door. When you take off your veil, the first thing you say is, "No one dares to come into my room, it's the safest place, you can rest assured." ”

I was just about to say two words of thanks, when I suddenly saw her take a step forward, and between the rise and fall of her palms, there was a crisp sound of "pop", and she slapped me hard in the ear.

"Who the hell are you, pretending to be Chen Feng?"

I smiled bitterly: "There is more than one Chen Feng in the world, and my name is Cheng Feng." The journey of thousands of miles, the peak of the steep mountain peak. ”

"Then why do you look exactly like Chen Feng?"

I shrugged, this is a question that I have a hard time answering.

"Twin brothers?"

I shook my head.

"Like my sister, I put a mask on my disguise?"

As she spoke, Xiaohong leaned in, her pointed nails gently playing on my face, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, she let out a surprised "huh".

"It's amazing that there are people who look so similar in this world!"

"How is your sister, is she okay?"

In my impression, ancient women attached great importance to their chastity, and once they lost their bodies, the three-foot white silk broke off by itself. If that's the case, I don't think I'll hesitate to wave my sword and apologize.

Hearing me ask about Mu Yao, Xiaohong's palms rose and fell, and with a crisp "snap", I was slapped with another ear brace.

"You fight, I should fight. If you get rid of your hatred, you'd better whip me to death. ”

This is my sincere words, and I can't help but apologize for my affection and pay for the mistakes I made.

At this moment, my heart was surprisingly calm.

Xiaohong snorted and said, "I can not beat you, and I can also help you hide your identity." ”

My brain tells me that, more often than not, there are conditions behind this kind of good thing.

But Xiaohong's next words surprised me: "I want you to continue pretending to be a colt." ”

This is a big crime of the Nine Clans, what a joke! Although I have crossed over, I can't do things with my conscience, I've been wrong once, I can't be wrong a second time, I waved my hand again and again.

"You have three paths. Either I'll kill you now, or continue to pretend to be a colt, or I'll watch my sister die in a pig cage. ”

With that, Xiaohong pulled out her dagger and put it around my neck.

I have made an unforgivable mistake, so I am not afraid of death, but to let me see Mu Yao drown with my own eyes, this is far more painful than killing me, and I also know that this second path will be full of thorns, danger and death.

After hesitating for a long time, I gritted my teeth and said categorically: "Tell me what you think, how can I impersonate me?" ”
