Zhuo Yan sighed and said, you are good, you won this bet, I can't trouble Miss Qiu from now on, but what about me, the matter of the Vermilion Bird Cave has not been taken care of, and the two have failed, and they will inevitably be punished. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He said, taking another drink.

The cave master doesn't need to say this - in the past year, thanks to the care of the cave master, he has rescued Ling Li from danger many times, and Ling Li should remember it in his heart. Even though the cave master doesn't treat me as a friend after drinking, Ling Li will never take revenge.

The wind seems to have lightened a bit. The noise of the lanterns in the city is getting lower and deeper, the night is already deep, and the muffled and thick bell rings from the Hanshan Temple, which is long, but it is moving.

Speaking of which, why do you suddenly have to change places? After being silent for a long time, Qiu Guanghan said. Didn't you say "old place"?

Because I suddenly wanted to come here. Zhuo Yan said an unconvincing excuse.

The wine jug was empty, and Qiu Guanghan changed the kettle to a warm one. Why don't you like to see the light?" she asked. Prefer this dark suburb.

Because...... It's been a long time in Suzaku Cave. Zhuo Yan still said a word of reason that did not become a reason.

Qiu Guanghan grinned and poured wine into the cups of the three of them. I look very depressed today? I don't look like the Lord of Zhuo Dong - it seems that I still have a grudge when I lose the bet, right?

It's not dawn yet. Ling Li interjected. It was almost the morning of the sixteenth day of the first month when our bet was made, and it was less than a year now—maybe there was a chance?" he laughed.

Why do you bother to make fun of it, you have already said that you will not talk about this topic of bad scenery.

Okay, let's not say anything, another drink!

I still have a doubt. Said sharply. A few days ago, you advised us to leave Jiangyin as soon as possible, was there anything special at that time?

It's not simple, "one arrow hooks the soul" of him......

Why did he? Ling Li listened to him only say half of it, and he didn't feel strange.

But Zhuo Yan opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak again. In the dim light of the fire, I saw him squirt the wine with all his breath - because it was so sudden, it was impossible to react. I saw that his hand was tight, and the wine glass was shattered. His breathing was heavy, and his voice became hoarse.

You...... Poisoning in wine?

What? Don't move, I'll see!

Zhuo Yan's eyes had swept to Qiu Guanghan's face. On her face, the expression was leisurely, even very brisk, and even with some vicious mockery.

He suddenly understood, brushed away his sharp hand, and burst out laughing, which seemed terrible and terrifying in the night.

You've lost, you've finally lost!

This year's bet, he finally lost at the last moment. was as cunning as Zhuo Yan, and he didn't expect that Qiu Guanghan, who was silent and intimate, had planned this change a long time ago.

Ling Li saw a lot of distorted blood spit out of his mouth. He turned his head sharply to look at Qiu Guanghan. He also saw her laid-back, brisk, even vicious mockery.

You poisoned her?" he looked into her eyes in disbelief. You...... Why?...... Where's the antidote?

What are you doing! Qiu Guanghan was puzzled by whether it was true or not. This person is annoying enough to follow you in the shadow - and his martial arts are higher than yours, and after dawn, who knows if he will do anything to you!

Will you hand it over?, her hand raised, the scabbard pointed at her, and she took a step back.

Good intentions are not rewarded. She snorted. I'm doing this for your good!

Guang Han! Ling shook his head sharply. You...... Why are you doing this? We've only been through this year, you...... You'd never do anything like that, you don't want to!

But if it weren't for this person, where would we have had such a hard time? What kind of one-year appointment, it's just a lie to myself-Brother Ling, I'm for you, just for you, only you are the one I don't want to see anything happen--he didn't have a good heart at all, you still treat him as a friend, I don't want to see you ruined in his hands one day after that!

You......

Ling Li only had time to say a you, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in his abdomen, and the long sword in his hand subconsciously fell down, panting heavily.

You are also ...... to me

Of course you've been poisoned. Qiu Guanghan said. The three of us drank the same wine, but I was a pure yin body, so naturally I was fine, and you didn't have to be poisonous for a long time, so you shouldn't have to worry about your life, but the poison was very violent, after all, you were not me, and you had to suffer a little bit of medicinal regression; as for him-

She glanced at Zhuo Yan. Zhuo Yan was bleeding from her mouth and nose and had already fallen to the ground.

Ling Yan had a sharp pain in his chest, and he was unable to lift his sword, so he only endured the pain and said, Do you know, Guanghan, you do this-you do this, all this I have paid for you, everything we all care about you this year is all ruined-Zhuo Yan is our opponent, but he is by no means a bad person, if you do this, you and ...... What is the difference between those who kill innocents indiscriminately?

I was originally a pure yin body, and I am not a good person no matter what!" Qiu Guanghan said. You better save some effort, dissolve the poison as soon as possible, and let's go to Suzaku Cave to find someone together. I thought about it a long time ago, he didn't let us go to the "old place" near Jiuhua Mountain, there must be a reason - we deviated, we will definitely find clues!

Ling Li stopped talking. The poison spread, colliding with some detoxifying blood qi, and the whole body was in severe pain, and only the strength of breathing remained, which could still be supported. He thinks that my body is "invulnerable" reacts so badly, and this poison must be a bloody throat - extremely fierce temperament. His lips were bitten white. He wanted to wait for me to recover—Guanghan, what should I do to you? I don't know you like this. This party is still so intimate, is it really as Zhuo Yan said, isn't it like this on the surface?

Qiu Guanghan saw that his fingers were bent and his knuckles were already white, and he knew that he was already extremely hateful in his heart, and said, are you still angry? Anyway, you will know in the future that I am doing this for your own good-what you win or lose does not matter at all. Everyone else is dead, and it doesn't matter what wins or loses.

I...... If I could move now...... Sharp burst between his teeth. ...... Guanghan, I will definitely beat you hard until you wake up!

You, you man! Qiu Guanghan was really angry. Lingli, I'm thinking about the past - but if you're so ignorant, well, let's go our separate ways, don't blame me!

Ling Li saw her raise the silver-black scabbard above her head. That's right, I'm not a good person, you already believed me wrong—please tell my brother too, don't think I don't know his intentions—now you don't have to look for me, I have my own choice, my own way!

Ling Li knew what she was going to do, but she only had time to move—four words came out of her lips. Don't, Guanghan. He knew that with her scabbard, all the ties that were maintained might be broken forever. Even if she doesn't believe it anymore, she is also the Qiu Guanghan that Zhuo Yan said, and she is no longer the Qiu Guanghan she trusts.

But she didn't seem to hear him at all. The scabbard slammed down on top of his head, and he closed his eyes and lost consciousness.

Don't blame me. Qiu Guanghan's body trembled a little, and he still muttered, Brother Ling, really don't blame me......

She dropped her sword and turned around hurriedly, but she did a strange thing.

She took out a pill from her arms and stuffed it into Zhuo Yan's lips.

-----------------

The sky is bright.

When Ling Li woke up, on the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the sky was bright. Not in that cold and desolate place last night, but—

Little brother, I'm finally awake! There was a voice of relief from someone.

He turned his head to look at it, his expression a little blank, as if he had not yet woken up from his stupor. That face is somewhat familiar. He tried to sit up, but there was still a faint pain in the back of his head, forcing him to lie where he was.

Be...... Is that you...... He smiled encouragingly, but in his mind, which had not yet turned a corner, he remembered something that he deserved to cry.

Guarding the bedside were the two couples, who had been seriously injured after a battle with Yi Ou Miao a year ago, and Qiu Guanghan had accompanied him to spend the night at the couple's home in the tea shed. But how could he have imagined that a year later, he would be injured by Qiu Guanghan in the same place.

Why am I here?—he locked the memories of last night in his mind, and asked cautiously—in fact, of course, hoping to hear some good answers. Like, she sent him—and so on.

I was about to ask my little brother, the woman was surprised. This morning, when I went to the mountains to draw spring water, I saw my little brother lying on the mountain road—it really frightened me! Could it be that some bad guy has suffered?

I...... I...... It's okay. Ling Li didn't hear the answer he wanted, just responded in a groggy voice.

Why are you alone?" the husband asked again. What about the little daughter-in-law?

Ling Li sneered in his heart, but he was just desperate and speechless. She's gone...... His eyes were hollow.

The couple didn't expect the young man to burst into tears, and they panicked, thinking that the "little daughter-in-law" was missing for some reason, and they regretted that they had aroused his sadness, but they were speechless. Ling Li himself didn't expect to cry like this. He only felt that he was going to cry, so he hurriedly blocked his eyes with his hand, endured it, and said, I'm nothing, it's really nothing-this way, don't disturb the two......

But the tears finally couldn't be stopped. The more you cover up, the more you flow. He was crying bitterly, for this sudden, heart-wrenching cry, or perhaps it was expected, but it was just too quick to cry bitterly.

I finally can't stop you - I'm finally not the one who can save you. The last night that desperately wanted to lock it up and not leak it out, but finally like these tears, it came out through his fingers, painting the most painful state of mind in his life.

The couple saw that he suddenly cried sadly like a child, and they were secretly sympathetic, expecting that this young couple had always been in love, if such a peugeot and virtuous woman went, he naturally couldn't bear it, and only looked at each other and sighed at the moment, and it was not easy to persuade each other, so he went to the shed to prepare, and he cried by himself.

He cried for a long time. He was willing to go madly to find her because he didn't believe in her change as before, but after crying, he found that his heart was still dead - maybe it was because he knew her too well. He knew what she could be saved and what she couldn't get back. Qiu Guanghan, who was angry with him and had a cold attitude, would make him sad, but it never made him despair - but his feeling at the moment can really only be called despair, right?

He seemed to know that he had lost her, forever.

He never knew, however, that hours earlier, when he had fainted at the stone table on the shores of the desolate mountain, the woman of despair had caressed his cheek one last time with her cold hand.

The light of the lantern was dim, so dim that she could barely see anything. She sat there, with Ling Li on her left and Zhuo Yan on her right. She was waiting for the person on the right to wake up, but her eyes were on the left.

At this moment, her heart was calm, empty, and detached. She didn't think about anything, she just looked subconsciously, because she knew very well that she would never have the chance to look at him like that again.

Lucky or unlucky, Zhuo Yan woke up quickly. She heard him and turned her face to the right.

Woke up. She said lightly. Offended, Lord Zhuodong.

Zhuo Yan's reaction was fast enough, but she was really stunned for a moment before she reluctantly sat up. If it weren't for the bitter taste of the antidote at the base of the tongue that made him suddenly, he would have been stunned for a while.

Playing this trick - is it interesting? Zhuo Yan only felt that her throat was still burning uncomfortably, and she coughed unconsciously.

It's not a trick. Qiu Guanghan said. It's just that I have to do it.

Zhuo Yan didn't think so, and sneered, That's good—I've already taken three steps into the Ghost Gate, and I've almost met the King of Hades—if you have to, why don't you put the antidote in my mouth?"

The antidote was given to me by you. Qiu Guanghan smiled faintly. If you hadn't given it to me, you'd be dead by now.

Zhuo Yan suddenly felt that something was very wrong. Could it be that this poison is ...... That "one arrow hooks the soul"......

Right.

But that ...... Zhuo Yan glanced at Ling Li in a coma. But isn't there only one antidote?

You don't have to worry about him. Qiu Guanghan said. He's fine, it's just ......

She paused. Now I'm going to trouble you to order his sleeping hole. I'd like to find a place to settle him, and I'll talk to you about it later.

Zhuo Yan understood. Do you want to leave him alone?

It's not a person, it's with you. Qiu Guanghan corrected.

With me, I don't have the blessing to carry you. Zhuo Yan shook her head and smiled.

If you win, you should follow the rules and take me to Suzaku Villa, right?

I obviously lost, when did it turn into a win?

Just now when you were poisoned, you shouted loudly that you lost - you don't remember?

That's because you poisoned me. But you give me the antidote, and since I'm not dead, of course - just lose.

Qiu Guanghan was silent for a while, raised his eyes and said, no matter what, seal his acupoint first-I'm afraid that he will wake up, and I won't be able to get out at that time.

Zhuo Yan just shook his head and sighed, and said while coming over to seal the acupoint, I really can't guess you-what's wrong with you being with him? To be honest, if this is the case, even if he wins, I will have to sympathize with him.

Stay with him...... There's nothing wrong with that. Qiu Guanghan said quietly. It's just that he's with me, but it's not good. As she spoke, she raised her head and smiled slightly, but it was not at all as complicated as a girl under twenty years old.

Zhuo Yan was stunned, and lowered her head to look at Ling Li again. You're not going to do it lightly. He digressed the subject.

Well...... I'm afraid...... He woke up—Qiu Guanghan smiled bitterly. Can you carry him to a place for me? Just a little way, I'll make a lantern for you.

Yes. Zhuo Yan did not refuse. But I don't kill the lantern, you can light your way.

Qiu Guanghan raised the lantern, but it was a light on Zhuo Yan's sharp face on his back. His breathing became thin and even, as if he was asleep.

She lowered the lantern again, and with a sigh of relief or a sigh, she silently took the lead.

On the mountain road not far from the tea shed, Zhuo Yan put Ling Li down.

That's it?" he asked. You've figured it out - really want to leave him here?

Qiu Guanghan didn't answer, Gu Zi went to the stream to fill some water, drink some water. She said.

Zhuo Yan really felt that the body of the highly toxic prescription was not very comfortable, and her throat was a little burning, so she also took some water to moisten her throat. Qiu Guanghan just looked at him from the side, and at the end, he said, Okay, let's go.

Do you really want to go with me to Suzaku Villa?

Qiu Guanghan nodded.

Do you think what will happen if you go there?

What other consequences can there be. She's just faint.

You...... Have you figured it out?, Zhuo Yan said again.

Long-winded. Qiu Guanghan was impatient. Don't blame me for not reminding you, from now on, it's best not to provoke me.

Oh, yes. Zhuo Yan muttered. As long as you go to the villa, you will be favored by the gods, and that is certain—and who will dare to provoke you.

It's good to know. Qiu Guanghan snorted softly. Please lead the way.

Zhuo Yan still looked at her stunned for a long time, then nodded and said, Okay, since you have made up your mind-

He took one last look at Lingli and turned back.

- Then don't look back.

-------------------

"Then don't look back. ”

Until dawn, Qiu Guanghan thought that she really didn't look back once.

------------------

At dawn, the two of them had already boarded a ferry. Qiu Guanghan was very sullen at first, but now he was much better, and pulled Zhuo Yan towards the stern of the boat, as if the wind could make her much more refreshed.

Zhuo Yan actually prefers to hide in the cabin and nap during the day, but she has no choice but to lean on the side of her, and said, You are so happy. As she spoke, she caught another glimpse of the black sword she held in her hand.

Is it a greeting gift for the Divine King?

yes. Qiu Guanghan said. Otherwise......

Zhuo Yan snorted lightly. You yourself are just a gift from me to the Divine King, what kind of greeting gift are you going to prepare!

and please him. Qiu Guanghan glanced at him.

I advise you not to do anything superfluous. Zhuo Yan said. Your pure yin body alone is enough. If you give this to him and let him know that you have something to do with Ling Li, I'm afraid Ling Li's life won't last long.

That—I don't care. Qiu Guanghan pouted. Look ahead, can you take care of it!

...... If you want to say so, it's up to you. Zhuo Yan said, turning her eyes to look into the distance.

Brother Zhuo, are you-

Don't call me that. Zhuo Yan turned around and interrupted when she heard this. I can't afford it.

What does it matter? I'm still relying on you all the way - and after I get to Suzaku Villa!

...... Forget it. Zhuo Yan is very wise and authentic. You, Brother Shao, and Brother Ling were sold by you one by one, and I still ...... Don't drip this muddy water. (To be continued.) )
