Sometimes the difference between hope and despair is just a thought, maybe it's a simple thing, maybe it's a dream that you don't know when you wake up, maybe it's just a person, a concern, but it's enough to make a person go from heaven to hell and from hell to heaven. The most fearful thing is not despair, but the glimmer of hope that I originally had in my heart will always be only a little bit away from being realized.

More than a month has passed, and people seem to have forgotten that night dozens of days ago, someone died in an inn in the capital, and they also forgot that someone knocked on the door of a medical hall in the middle of the night, and the group of so-called murderers happened to be discovered by the people of the Xianwang Mansion, and they happened to be arrested in time.

Life in the world is already not easy, who would spend so much effort to care about the life and death of others, and this person has nothing to do with themselves.

But there is one person who has not forgotten, or has been expecting, hoping that the person who has been waiting for a long time will appear soon, before his hopes are dashed day by day.

This person is Ruyi, who was detained in the mansion by King Xian's mansion. She was waiting, waiting for the person who haunted him to come back as soon as possible, and stand in front of her completely, not because she could leave alive after that person returned, but because if that person couldn't come back, she didn't know how she could live alone.

At this moment, Ruyi is standing in the small courtyard that has not stepped out for a long time, looking at the door of the courtyard stupidly, his eyes are full of urgency and hope, and there seem to be tears in his eyes, Chu Chu is pitiful.

On her body, she was wearing a mink cloak sent by the Seven Sages King, although it blocked the cold wind of deep winter, but it could not eliminate the desolation in her heart.

No one knew why the Seven Sages King was so concerned about Ruyi, Ruyi herself didn't know, and she didn't want to know, her mind was all on the person who left, and she even swore that as long as God could let that person come back completely, she could do whatever she wanted.

But that was only the only way she could comfort herself, because everyone knew that the place where that person went was a place where there was no return. But she still wanted to believe that there was no place in the world where that person would not dare to go, and there was no place where he could stop him, although this confidence had slowly eroded over time, until even she began to doubt herself.

Nangong Chu slowly walked behind Ruyi at this time, still shaking the folding fan that does not leave his hand all year round, and still fanning gently, as if he still thought that the cold wind in the sky was not cool enough, and he didn't know what the cold was.

Looking at Ruyi's haggard appearance, he really felt a little distressed, to be honest, his feelings for Ruyi were by no means as shallow as his feelings for Wuxin, but there was no way, feelings could not be forced, so he was happy to stay next to his junior sister, even if it was just to be a flower messenger who would never have a personal promise.

"He'll be back, don't worry. Nangong Chu looked at Ruyi, who was slightly complaining, and said gently, he doesn't know how many times he has said this sentence, from the time when Wuxin just left until now, even he himself began to doubt it, but there is no way, it is much better than directly saying "He won't come back".

When Ruyi heard Nangong Chu's words, he turned his head, stared at Nangong Chu's eyes, and asked expectantly, "Will it?" Ruyi didn't know, Nangong Chu naturally didn't know, maybe it was just a way to comfort himself and let himself not despair so soon.

"Yes," Nangong Chu nodded heavily, and said affirmatively: "He is the most special person I have ever seen, no one can easily hurt him, no matter how invincible this person is, when have you ever seen him afraid of anyone?"

Nangong Chu said what he said from his heart, Ruyi asked him to protect Wuxin in secret, so he had seen too many killings between Wuxin and others, and he had also witnessed how many times Wuxin escaped death, to be honest, until now he can't see through how unfathomable Wuxin is, it seems that Wuxin was born a god of war, and every time he experiences a vicious battle, his strength will be further improved, and no one knows what his upper limit is.

"Yes, yes. Ruyi nodded seriously, and repeated the answer that Nangong Chu said to himself, as if he was deliberately deepening his impression, and as if he was trying to persuade himself.

Nangong Chu secretly sighed and said slowly: "It's cold outside, let's go back to the house." He felt a little sorry in his heart, and even envied Wuxin, thinking that if the person who made Ruyi so haunted by his dreams was himself, then he was willing to die.

Ruyi didn't speak again, reluctantly glanced at the direction of the courtyard gate a few times, turned around and walked towards the house, Nangong Chu followed behind her.

Maybe it's because a long time has passed, and the people in the Xianwang Mansion have relaxed their vigilance, or maybe it's because they see that Ruyi and the others don't want to escape, so the Seven Sages have ordered all the guards in the courtyard to be withdrawn and guarded outside the courtyard, which also makes Ruyi, who was already in a bad mood, not as disgusted with this place as he did at the beginning.

Just as the two of them had just stepped into the house, Nangong Chu, who was walking behind, suddenly turned around and glared fiercely in the direction of the door. At this time, I don't know when there was a person standing at the door, a person with a face like ashes and a dead face, it was the personal guard of the Seven Sages King, Gong Jiu.

Seeing Gong Jiu, Nangong Chu's heart ignited with anger, if it weren't for Gong Jiu's appearance, he and Ruyi would not have been locked up here, he knew that when he was in the hospital, he should have made the first move and killed Gong Jiu, otherwise he wouldn't have been where he is now, and he didn't even know whether he was alive or dead.

Gong Jiu didn't seem to pay any attention to Nangong Chu's angry eyes, although the expression on his face still didn't change at all, but there was a sneer in his eyes, or it could be said to be ridicule, because in his eyes, he never put the bells and whistles in front of him in his eyes.

Ruyi seemed to be aware of something at this time, and couldn't help but turn around, and then saw Gong Jiu standing at the door, his face instantly sank, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Please go out, you are not welcome here." Compared with Nangong Chu, Ruyi hates this person who has a dead face all day long, and he doesn't want to see it at all.

At this moment, Gong Jiu ignored the undisguised disdain and disgust of the two people in the house, but turned his body to the side, gave up the position of the door, and walked slowly up the steps to the house.

"Ruyi girl is so angry. The person who came said with a smile, and slowly walked in with the words, it was the owner of this mansion, the Seven Sages King.

Seeing the Seven Sages King who walked into the house, in fact, Ruyi and Nangong Chu were even more disgusted and angry in their hearts, but after all, the other party was above ten thousand people under one person, so he couldn't be too rude, after all, he was still under the eaves of others. In fact, if it weren't for this, there would be no need to agree to the other party's obviously coercive and tempting request. So neither of them spoke, but stood aside and ignored them.

The Seven Sages King looked at the two of them with undisguised disdain, and was not angry, sat on a chair with a smile, and said slowly: "I know why you hate me, you don't have to endure it, don't be angry, especially you, Ruyi girl." As he spoke, he looked at Ruyi who was standing aside with a smile, with a complicated look in his eyes, and the smile on his face deepened.

"I don't need you to pretend to care about me here, and I don't need you to care, please respect yourself. Ruyi frowned, and said with an unhappy face, he always felt that the Seven Sages King's dedication to his nothing in recent days was an attempt to misdeed, and his heart was not right.

"Presumptuous!" Gong Jiu heard Ruyi's words, snorted, took two steps forward, and was about to attack, but saw that Nangong Chu had already taken the lead and walked out in front of Ruyi, with a look of vigilance.

At this moment, the Seven Sages King waved his hand and motioned for Gong Jiu to retreat, as if he didn't pay attention to Ruyi's slightly rude words. I saw him smile and continue to speak: "You can leave here soon, and no one will embarrass you then, but I hope that Miss Ruyi can stay and stay by my side." As he spoke, he looked at Ruyi expectantly, his eyes full of tenderness.

Hearing the words of the Seven Sages King, Ruyi and Nangong Chu were obviously stunned, they didn't know what the Seven Sages King meant, and they didn't know whether it was true or false, they remembered very well, when they were detained, the Seven Sages King said that only if they had no intention of rescuing the people who needed to be saved could they be picked up, why did the Seven Sages King take the initiative to release them now.

"What do you mean? What you said is true?" Ruyi asked with a puzzled look at the Seven Sages King, with a hint of joy on her face, as if she had thought of something, and then asked, "Your people have been rescued?" Her face was full of anticipation, hoping that what she had heard was the best news in more than a month.

The Seven Sages King nodded and said seriously, "That's right, it's true, my people have been rescued." ”

Ruyi heard the answer of the Seven Sages King, looked at Nangong Chu, who was also happy, and was almost dancing with excitement, thinking in his heart: He finally didn't wait in vain, he really did it. Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "What about Wuxin, where is he, and when will he come back?"

Hearing Ruyi's words, the smile on the Seven Sages King's face gradually dissipated, shook his head, and said slowly: "This is also what I want to say next, I'm afraid it's bad news for you, because he is already dead." After speaking, he sighed, as if he looked very sorry.

Hearing this, Ruyi was like suffering a thunderbolt from the sky, the smile on his face froze on his face, and he looked at the Seven Sages King blankly, trying to see from the Seven Sages King's expression that he was lying and joking.

But she was disappointed, because at this moment, the Seven Sages King's face was also full of regret, and she couldn't stop shaking her head and sighing. Seeing this, Ruyi's whole person was paralyzed, and she almost fell to the ground unsteadily, but fortunately, Nangong Chu helped her in time. And Nangong Chu was also incredulous at this time, his expression was stiff, and he couldn't speak.

Seeing Ruyi's sad appearance, the Seven Sages King sighed, and said with a solemn face: "I don't want to believe it, but it's true, in order to save people, the heartless young man fought a big battle with the people of Fengyue Valley, and finally died of serious injuries and was not able to come back alive." ”

"I don't believe it! You lie to me! You're lying! He can't die! It's impossible! It's impossible!" Ruyi shook his head and shouted loudly, tears already pouring out of his eyes.

Just now, she was still praying in her heart, praying that Wuxin would come back safely, there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart, a glimmer of hope that she was always unwilling to give up, but now someone told her that Wuxin was dead, how could she accept it, how could she believe it.

Seeing Ruyi's heartbroken appearance, the Seven Sages King showed a trace of unbearability on his face, stood up, and wanted to walk over to comfort and comfort, but Nangong Chu stretched out his hand to block his way, and the folding fan in his hand was already aimed at the Seven Sages King, and his eyes widened angrily. In the final analysis, regardless of whether what the Seven Sages said was true or not, the culprit who caused all these consequences was the Seven Sages King himself.

"You go out! I don't want to see you!" Ruyi struggled, screaming loudly, eager to rush to the front of the Seven Sages King to vent all the grievances and resentments in her heart, but at this time, her legs were already weak, and she even struggled to stand.

The Seven Sages looked at the grief-stricken Ruyi, shook his head, and left gloomily, as if he could no longer bear to see that desperate face. Ruyi's sad cries kept coming from behind him, and the despair made people breathless.

When he came to the outside of the courtyard, the Seven Sages King stopped, took a long breath, and said in a deep voice, "Is the news accurate?" On his face, there was no smile, no regret and sadness, but there was still a trace of pain in his eyes, and it disappeared in a flash.

Gong Jiu, who was following behind the Seven Sages King, nodded, and said affirmatively: "It's not wrong, if the injuries on his body are replaced by someone else, it is enough to die ten times, not to mention that he has to walk out of the dense forest that has no direction and no end in sight, he will definitely die." ”

The Seven Sages King nodded, glanced back at the small courtyard where the sound of crying was constantly coming from, and continued: "Find a secret place as soon as possible, settle the Ruyi girl there, and as for the young man beside him, find a way to put him in prison, and if he resists, kill him on the spot." After saying that, he left without looking back, for a high-ranking prince, announcing a person's life and death seems to be a matter that can't even be said simply.

"Yes. Gong Jiu nodded and said affirmatively, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, he had never seen the prince so interested in a woman, and in his impression, the prince was not a person who was greedy for beauty......
