Volume 1 The Sword Chapter 53 Blue Face and Troubled Water
The fourth watch is about to pass, and the dawn is imminent. The Zuifang Building standing in the east city of Luoyang is still lit up, and what is shrouded under the lights is not the noisy human voice, but the silent and spontaneous killing atmosphere.
I don't know when it began, inside and outside the building of Zuifang Building, all the places where there are lights are full of people.
The standing person takes three steps and one person, echoing at intervals of two and two, and follows the steps winding and undulating. Straight to the top floor of Zuifang Building.
Each one of them is a woman as cold as ice.
Each woman was dressed in red.
The difference is that most of them are light red, the one at the door is bright red, and the one at the staircase is sauce red, and the more you go up, the redder the clothes become, and finally it turns black and red.
Except for the sound of wind and rain that resounded for most of the night in the night, Zuifanglou could no longer hear any sound. The women in red who were standing were like lifeless puppets, motionless and silent.
Until a miserable scream suddenly came from the seventh floor of the Zuifang Building. There was a red robe, coming down from the upper floor.
It was the murderous red-robed Demon Queen.
The red-robed demon queen's blood-soaked red robe was shattered, and blood kept coming out of her mouth. She is one of the best in the "Ten Concubines of the Palace" in Lengyan Palace, but at this moment, she seems to be a kite with a broken string and a butterfly with broken wings, falling straight from the upper floor.
The two blood-red knives at her waist were still in their sheaths.
She has an extremely profound cultivation, she can resist, she can dodge, but she doesn't dare. Even if she knew that if she fell like this, she might fall half to death and break several bones, she still didn't dare.
At most, she lifted her head slightly in the air to make sure she didn't hit the ground first.
A figure came from the northwest and fell like a meteor on the street outside Zuifang Building.
The red-robed demon queen did not fall into the street, but fell into the arms of the figure.
The red-robed demon queen was shocked. As soon as her eyes lifted, a fierce mask met her eyes.
Instead of surprise, she didn't see peace of mind, but became even more frightened. hurriedly broke free from Yan Ruyu's arms, and knelt at Yan Ruyu's feet without saying a word.
Yan Ruyu's embrace is not a warm harbor, but a murderous magic basket.
Yan Ruyu looked up at the top floor of Zuifang Building, and there was a beautiful woman in a black and red dress standing next to the top floor. is condescendingly watching the movements of the red-robed demon queen.
As soon as she saw the beautiful woman standing on the side of the building, the eyes exposed under Yan Ruyu's mask instantly became extremely low: "Follow me up." ”
The red-robed demon queen who knelt on the ground trembled as if she had caused a catastrophe, and said in a trembling voice: "The red-robed demon queen doesn't dare. ”
Yan Ruyu took a breath with a calm face. As soon as the true qi was mentioned, the figure immediately rose from the ground and rushed straight into the top floor of the Zuifang Building.
Looking at the glamorous woman downstairs from the window, she saw Yan Ruyu rushing upstairs, and hurriedly dodged and retreated to the side.
Yan Ruyu, who swept upstairs, didn't look at the others, only looked at the beautiful woman who retreated to the side: "You injured her and threw her down?"
The aggressive momentum of the beautiful woman was gone, and she lowered her head tremblingly and did not dare to answer.
But she could hear what Yan Ruyu meant by asking so much, and couldn't help but call softly as if asking for help: "Palace master-"
The palace master did not answer.
Yan Ruyu's palm has been slapped.
The glamorous woman didn't dare to resist like a red-robed magic queen, didn't dare to dodge, and was slapped by Yan Ruyu.
A mouthful of blood spurted out of the beautiful woman's mouth, and the figure was slapped by this palm and slipped directly down from the window damaged by the little perverted woman.
The pretty purple-faced woman who returned to Zuifang Building with Yan Ruyu was about to pick up the seriously injured red-robed magic queen, and when she saw the beautiful woman falling from the upper floor, she stretched out her left hand slightly reluctant to support the falling figure.
The pretty purple clothes helped the glamorous woman to stand on her heels, but the cheeks of the glamorous woman who was slapped by Yan Ruyu couldn't help twitching, and her true qi couldn't help walking around in her body. As soon as he stood on his heels, a few mouthfuls of blood gushed out, and his body knelt on the ground weakly like a red-robed demon queen.
Although Yan Ruyu's palm was to vent his anger for the red-robed demon queen, he also used five or six layers of skill. The beautiful woman's cultivation is far from Yan Ruyu, and she bears a slap hard, which can be said to have given half a life.
The pretty purple clothes hugged the shoulders of the beautiful woman, and let out a long sigh: "Sister Rose, everyone is a sister..."
The glamorous woman covered her chest, gritted her teeth, and pushed away the pretty purple clothes: "Sister, you and Mengli are sisters, I don't need your pity." ”
The pretty purple clothes were a little reluctant to make a move, but when they heard the beautiful woman coming, they didn't say anything. turned around and helped the red-robed demon queen up, and said in a low voice, "Sister red-robe, let's go." ”
The red-robed demon queen looked up at the seventh floor: "You go up to take care of the son, the palace master's face is very ugly..."
Yan Ruyu, who was angry for the red-robed demon queen, turned to look at the building, and the seventh floor of the entire Zuifang Building was no longer what it was like when she listened to the piano.
In different directions around, there were more than a dozen women in red with cold faces. The anger on the woman's body disappeared the moment Yan Ruyu went upstairs, but Yan Ruyu could still imagine the murderous scene just now.
The red-gauze stroking the piano girl on the opposite stage is gone.
She collapsed in a pool of blood three or four feet away, one foot on her back.
When the woman in red who stepped on the violin girl saw Yan Ruyu looking at her coldly, her heart was suddenly shocked, and she subconsciously retracted her strength and took a few steps back.
The violin girl got up from the pool of blood and stumbled straight to the stage.
She wanted to check if her piano was safe. She wanted to stroke the piano again.
She didn't wipe the blood from her face, she didn't care about the injuries on her body. It seems that her piano is much more important than her life.
However, the piano was already broken. Shattered into pieces.
The strings have also been broken. Only the next one remained, and it was still intact.
Irregular cracks were reflected in the eyes of the violin girl, mixed with two lines of hot tears.
The violin girl stretched out her trembling hand and stroked it over the last remaining string. A muddy piano sound, like a dumb voice, should be heard.
The violin girl screamed strangely, and threw herself on a pillar behind her that was bigger than a soup bowl...
Yan Ruyu was taken aback, and was about to stop the Fuqin girl, but heard a voice from behind a four-screen on the right: "If you dare to touch her, I will kill her immediately!"
Yan Ruyu was anxious, but Yan Ruyu didn't make a move after all.
Yan Ruyu knew who was talking behind the screen.
If the woman slammed into the pillar, she would not be 100% dead, but if the person behind the screen really wanted to kill the girl, the girl would definitely die.
Even if she fled to the ends of the earth and escaped the Son of Heaven's bedroom, the Fuqin girl couldn't escape. Even if Yan Ruyu had the intention to stop it, she couldn't stop it.
The pretty purple clothes that jumped up from downstairs fell behind Yan Ruyu.
She was as woman as the person who spoke behind the screen. She could hear what the person behind the screen meant, and she understood how jealous a woman was. Especially a woman who is in power and is naturally very strong.
But she understood better that Childe didn't want to watch this violin girl kill herself in front of him because the piano was destroyed.
She didn't think about the consequences. Dodged up, stopped the girl who touched the qin, and said softly: "There are countless pianos, but there is only one life." ”
Yan Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly to the screen.
Behind the screen sat a woman with a phoenix crown on her head.
The nine dragons lie outward on the crown of the ceremony, the nine phoenixes make flying inwards, and the top holds a pearl in the middle; the golden threads become yarns, and the scarves are turned into scarves, like the nine dragons galloping above the golden clouds, and the spirit phoenix rests between the pearls.
The woman is like the eyebrows of a distant mountain, the flowers are like a blooming red lotus, and a face that is better than the jade is extremely exquisite.
A long vermilion dress that was a little blackened, spread behind her like a brocade. A long black hair equal to the height of a woman leaked down from the cloud brocade like a waterfall, and there was no need for a light wind to attack, it was already followed by a powerful qi machine that was silently blowing.
There was a small table in front of the woman, which was the small table used by Yan Ruyu when listening to the piano. The tea set, along with the teacups that Hakuba had drunk drunk, were still on the table.
The position where the woman sat was the same as where Yan Ruyu had sit. The teacup held up in his right hand is also the teacup that Yan Ruyu has drunk.
Raising a glass is just a small action, but a body that is more majestic than the Son of Heaven has burst out.
In that short moment, there was a tendency to be proud of the world while talking and laughing, and subverting the world in a snap of a finger.
Yan Ruyu watched the woman walk away, her pace getting slower and slower. He didn't seem to want to see, let alone get close to the woman in front of him.
But when the woman put down the cup, he still walked up to the woman.
The woman's gaze moved from Yan Ruyu's feet to Yan Ruyu's masked face little by little.
The breathtaking majesty suddenly became restrained, as if he had become a completely different person, and laughed softly: "Help me pour tea." ”
Yan Ruyu didn't answer the woman's words, stared at the woman for a while, and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you destroy her piano?"
The woman sat in Yan Ruyu's low gaze, without the slightest hint of inappropriateness on her face, and only pretended to smile gently: "I didn't pay attention for a while." ”
Yan Ruyu said motionlessly: "You did it on purpose." ”
"I know you like to listen to the piano, I've been learning for four years..."
The woman didn't admit it, nor did she deny it, she slowly stood up and walked in front of Yan Ruyu, and said with a smile: "In the future, I'll play it to you." ”
Yan Ruyu said: "Your hands are not used to play the piano. ”
"Then what are my hands for?" The woman stood in front of Yan Ruyu and blinked, making a surprised appearance that only Yan Ruyu had ever seen.
Yan Ruyu looked at the woman's disguised appearance, only felt a little uncomfortable, turned around and walked a few steps to the side: "You know better than anyone what you have done with these hands." ”
The woman looked at Yan Ruyu's back, and her face gradually became cold: "Just because I destroyed her piano, you have to show me your face?"
Yan Ruyu closed her eyes, did not move and did not answer.
"I know that if I do this, it will make you unhappy, it will make you think that I am cruel and ruthless, but have you ever taken my feelings into account? You come all the way here every year to listen to her play the piano, what do you make me think?"
The woman walked towards Yan Ruyu step by step, and continued: "The whole world knows that I like you, don't you know? I can accept your cold appearance, but I can't accept your good appearance to other women." You can't even take a second look!"
Yan Ruyu shook her head helplessly and said: "Some things depend on fate, not just like it." ”
The woman smiled bitterly: "I grew up with you since childhood, don't you have a fate? It's just that for so many years, you have been turning a blind eye to my feelings for you." ”
Yan Ruyu said: "This kind of thing is reluctant, and what you want to get must not be my hypocrisy." ”
The woman had a red lip and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the pretty purple clothes outside the barrier: "The master of the big palace, the master of the second palace has arrived-"
When the woman heard this, her face turned completely cold. It's hard to see the pole all of a sudden.
Yan Ruyu's heart was also shocked. If these two palace masters meet in this drunken fang building for him, I am afraid that it will be a-for-tat confrontation with each other, and it may even be possible to fight because of a disagreement, and then only Yan Ruyu who is in a dilemma at both ends will be the fight.
The big palace master in front of him seems to be able to listen to a few words now, and it doesn't seem to be so difficult to get along with, but it's only because he stands in front of Yan Ruyu.
The palace lord looked at Yan Ruyu, who slowly turned his head, and said in a tone that was half protest and half command: "I don't allow you to see that slut!"
Yan Ruyu knew that leaving before the arrival of the second palace master was the best way to end this farce tonight, but he thought of the Fuqin girl who was stopped by the pretty purple clothes outside.
The consistent style of the palace master told Yan Ruyu that since the palace master had come to ask the guilt, it was impossible to stop there. Not to mention that it will kill the piano girl, but it is very possible to ask for the piano girl's hand, so that the piano girl will never be able to play the piano again.
Yan Ruyu tilted her head sideways and said, "I can not see her, but you can't hurt her again." ”
The palace master knew who the "she" in Yan Ruyu's mouth was referring to, his face showed anger, he pursed his lips and took a breath, flicked his long sleeves, and shouted: "Are you blackmailing me? Is she really so important to you?"
Yan Ruyu said indifferently: "I didn't threaten you, I just didn't want your hands to be stained with blood." ”
The palace master's delicate body trembled slightly, his anger faded quietly, and with a somewhat helpless look, he said softly: "Okay, I promise you..."
