Chapter 45: Pupation into a butterfly

The three of them came to the courtyard together, Nangong Ao arched his hand and said: "Xiang Gang Master is a guest from afar, please make a move first!" Xiang Wentian was not humble, "Feihong" came out of the sheath, and a move was like a closed Shi unfolded, like a dragon in the sky, Nangong Ao did not show weakness, the long sword was swayed, there was no flaw, and the two walked back and forth dozens of moves, and the winner was still not distinguished.

Although the Nangong family does not have too many pavilions and pavilions, nor is it overly extravagant and extravagant decoration, but in the northwest direction of the Nangong family, there is a very prominent pavilion, red gold wall, light green glazed tiles, and purple window lattices, showing its nobility and luxury everywhere, and a golden horizontal plaque hangs high on the lintel, with the book "Night Fragrance Pavilion" Three big characters inlaid with gold and jade, into the night fragrance pavilion, everywhere is filled with a faint fragrance, all the curtains are all pink and purple, the carved beams and paintings are also a color of gold water, such a pavilion, and the outside world is incompatible, but also with the pure white of other rooms into two worlds.

The beautiful figure of a girl in front of the window, facing the window, stood motionless, and the maid in a light purple dress held a high-quality pink and red coat, walked behind the woman, and said softly: "Miss, the wind is cold outside the window, you should put on a dress." The girl shook her head slightly, and did not turn around to look at the maid behind her, but said lightly: "Zilian, why is there a sound of swords outside?" The maid who was called Zilian raised her eyes and glanced at the girl's back, and said softly: "I heard that two sons came to Chang'an, and they are competing with Ao Gongzi." The girl's thin figure shook suddenly, she still didn't turn around, and continued to ask: "Do you know, who is coming?" Zilian said: "It's the leader of the Chang'an City King's Return Gang." and the master of the altar, I don't know what the name of the slave and maid is. "The king is back?" the girl quickly turned around, and her face was so beautiful and beautiful. Exquisitely clear as white jade flawless, a pair of bright eyes like the water of a deep pool, seemingly unfathomable, but hidden endless tenderness, but also faintly with a little surprise and joy, Zilian bowed her head and replied: "Yes, miss." It's the return of the king. ”

The girl quickly took the coat from Zilian's hand and draped it on her body: "I want to go out." Hearing this, Zilian hurriedly said: "Miss, don't embarrass Zilian, the proud son has an order." Don't let Miss go out, otherwise Zilian's head will not be guaranteed, you have to think about Zilian, Miss. "Call me Fluttershy. The girl was slightly angry: "I've told you all, my name is Fluttershy." After saying that, he walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. Keep your eyes looking out the window. Her heart flew out of the window: "I'm Fluttershy, Brother Wentian, did you come to save me? Do you know that every day I was imprisoned in this Yexiang Pavilion, I missed you like a sickness?Are you here for me?Or is it for brotherly righteousness and gang friendship?Do you know how much I miss you day and night?Brother Qiantian, are you high up and will take Xiaodie to heart? Is it the Lord of the Cloud Altar who begged you to save me?Or, Sister Xiaoyue begged you to help Leng Leng Moonlight?Brother Wentian...... You're here anyway......, aren't you? What could be more sad than being close to the end of the world? But you don't know...... I love you.

Xiang Wentian's long sword had already reached Nangong Ao's neck: "Nangong Palace Master, I have conceded." Nangong Ao's face was fearless. He said with a smile: "Where, Xiang Gang Master's swordsmanship is outstanding, and Nangong Ao is willing to bow down." Retracting the long sword, Xiang Wentian continued, "Can you take me to see Fluttershy now?" Nangong Ao smiled and said, "Why should Xiang Gang Master be anxious? I, Nangong Ao, have always been good at talking, and I will definitely let you see Miss Fluttershy, but it's just ......" Xiang Wentian said, "Just what?" Nangong Ao put the long sword into the sheath and said to Xiang Wentian and Li Yunxuan, "Please come with me." ”

The two didn't know what kind of pipe Nangong Ao was selling, so they had to follow Nangong Ao into the room, Nangong Ao hung the long sword on the wall, turned around and said: "I have admired the heroes of the king for a long time, and it is a blessing to be able to see them today, if the two of them don't dislike it, can we call each other brothers?" The sudden change made Xiang Wentian and Li Yunxuan not know how to answer for a while, Nangong Ao looked at the looks of the two, couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, shook his head and sighed softly: " The kings are all heroes in the martial arts, I think I'm afraid that Nangong Ao is not worthy of being called a brother and brother with you, right?" Xiang Wentian hurriedly said: "Where does the Nangong Palace Master say, he is also a person in the martial arts, as long as his heart is clean and pure, he will become a friend, but ...... I don't know what the palace master of Nangong meant by taking Miss Xiaodie away?" Nangong Ao looked at Xiang Wentian, then at Li Yunxuan, and said, "I have a story, I wonder if the two of you are willing to listen to it?" Xiang Wentian said, "Please tell it." ”

Nangong Ao's eyes were confused, he looked out of the door, and said lightly: "Presumably, the two of them still remember that ice sword battle, right?" That year, I was also one of the onlookers, when the king returned and the Lingxiao Smoke and Rain City was fighting fiercely, a delicate figure in the crowd attracted my attention, although she was just dressed as a man, but I could see at a glance, she was a girl, and she was a beautiful girl, I couldn't help but look a few more times, it was that moment, I knew that she was the girl I had been looking for for many years, but her eyes had been tied to the body of Xiang Wentian, the helper of the king's return, worried about him, happy for him, prayed for him, clenched her fists tightly for him, I concluded that she was a woman who valued love and righteousness, and asked her about the origin of her nameAs a result, she was as simple as a blank piece of paper, only knowing that her name was Fluttershy, I asked people to follow her all the time, but I didn't want to lose it, this loss, she disappeared for more than a year, back to the Nangong family, I miss the delicate figure all the time, that beautiful face, in desperation, I found someone to draw a portrait, let my subordinates secretly search, not long ago I was rewarded, said that it was in the cold moonlight of Chang'an City, a very small gang had seen a girl exactly like the portrait, I am not sure, so I wrote a letter, let the three protectors of the Longevity Palace help to find out, I didn't expect that when I arrived in Chang'an, they had imprisoned Fluttershy in the Longevity PalaceI was furious, so I reprimanded the three of them severely, and I wanted to send Fluttershy back to the king, but I really couldn't bear to send her away like this, so I took her back to the Nangong family. Even though I knew that Fluttershy already had a heart, I was still selfishly trying to have even a momentary sense of relief, and I didn't explain it to the Xiang Gang leader. I think Xiang Wentian, who has returned from the king, should be able to forgive me for my momentary confusion and selfish desires, right?"

Xiang Wentian and Li Yunxuan, who Nangong Ao said at the table, sighed for a while, this Nangong Ao can be regarded as an infatuated man who values love and righteousness, and it is rare to be able to find a woman who makes him fall in love at first sight for such a long time. Although his methods are a little dirty, but it is also human nature, Xiang Wentian decided not to pursue Nangong Ao's temporary mistakes. "So, it wasn't your idea to capture Fluttershy?" Nangong Ao nodded, "The Longevity Palace is a force that my father cultivated for many years, and now my father has passed away." A few of them are getting more and more disagreeable. Although it is explained that there is nothing out of the ordinary, but secretly I don't know how many hurtful things have been done in collusion with evil sects, I have repeatedly warned, but they don't listen, I originally had the idea of getting rid of them, but I only thought of my father's entrustment, so I didn't move them, I didn't expect them to make their own decisions. I robbed Fluttershy, and I asked them about it. But they said that it was a lot of trouble to investigate and investigate, and since they looked alike, they would be arrested, and even if they were caught wrong, if they were killed, it would be just a human life, and what was the big deal. I know that they often do evil, but this kind of careless thing makes me want to get rid of them. ”

Xiang Wentian said: "That's why you didn't pursue the matter of our troubles in the Longevity Palace?" Li Yunxuan said: "No wonder after destroying such a big thing as the Longevity Palace, the Nangong Palace Lord didn't look angry at all, it turned out that things were like this." Nangong Ao smiled and said: "Lord Yuntan, don't make fun of me anymore, you don't have to call me like this from the palace master, it sounds weird, if you can afford me, just call me Nangong Ao, I'm a few years older than you, I don't mind if I call you by your name, right?" Xiang Wentian and Li Yunxuan looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time shook their heads at Nangong Ao, Li Yunxuan smiled: "In this case, we will be brothers in the future, right, Brother Nangong?"

Xiang Wentian also smiled: "Brother Ao." ”

Nangong Ao's face was shocked: "Brother Ao? ”

"Hahaha......"

Walking into the Night Fragrance Pavilion, a burst of warm incense came to her face, Fluttershy stood up from the table, looking at Xiang Wentian intently, she had a lot of things to say, but she could only be silent, she knew that Xiang Wentian only came to the Nangong family for brotherhood, she didn't want to become a disgusting clown, so she could only bury her fiery love deeply, hide it in the deepest part of her heart that would never see the light of day, let it be corrupted and moldy, and quietly hide in the corner and watch her Wentian brother live a happy life. Xiang Wentian also looked at Fluttershy quietly, how much grievance this soft and weak girl had endured, and there was extreme anxiety and fear in her deep pool-like eyes, what did she want to hide?

This is the daughter of Uncle Xiahou who protects him with his life, this is the little girl he rescued in Jing'an Hall many years ago, that is, from that time on, this girl's every move, smile and cheek, are deeply imprinted in his Xiang Wentian's heart, engraved on his heart like a knife mark, so that he has never looked at other women with his eyes, even if they are enchanting and ethereal like fairies, they will not let him have the slightest temptation。 Under Xiang Wentian's direct gaze, Fluttershy hung a touch of shyness on her cheeks, bowed her head slightly, and stood quietly.

Nangong Aoping withdrew Zilian, and Li Yunxuan and Li Yunxuan exited the room with interest, leaving time for these two lovers who loved each other.

"Fluttershy. Xiang Wentian said softly: "For so many years, I have made you suffer." Fluttershy raised her face, her eyes full of questions, did she hear it wrong?What did she say about Brother Wentian just now?What did he mean after all these years?What did he know?Could it be that Sister Jiaoyang sued Brother Wentian?Wouldn't that be ashamed? Before Fluttershy could say anything, Xiang Wentian stepped forward and gently took Fluttershy's hands:" Fluttershy, I've been looking for you so hard for so many years, I don't have a good impression of my uncle, and I don't know that there is a you in this world, maybe there are days in the dark, God let me save you in the Jing'an Hall, and since then, I have been thinking about you and my uncle day and night, and when I went to the Jing'an Hall to look for you, the sisters-in-law in the temple told me that my uncle and mother had passed away, and you didn't know where to go. I really hate, why didn't I recognize you sooner, so that you don't have to suffer so much. You don't have to go so hard to Loulan Palace to learn martial arts, you must have suffered a lot, blame me, I didn't look for you well back then, I should keep you by my side, I want your life, I want to give it to you. My life, Fluttershy, would you like it?"

Fluttershy stares blankly at Xiang Wentian. This is the most beautiful language she has heard in her life, but this qiΔ“ came so suddenly, so unreal, she was caught off guard. She had thought. She will hide in the corner and watch her Wentian brother for the rest of her life, get married and have children, and be happy all her life, she never thought that she would suddenly have so much, so much that she couldn't bear it, so much that she couldn't breathe, and tears kept sliding down her beautiful face. It's like a pearl with a broken thread, and you can't wear it. Xiang Wentian reached out to wipe away the tears from Fluttershy's cheeks, but he couldn't finish them, and couldn't help but say anxiously, "What's wrong with you, Fluttershy? Are you unhappy? I know you have a lot of grievances, we have a lifetime, can you tell me slowly? I'm most afraid that you will be unhappy." ”

Fluttershy shuddered and stretched out her arms and slowly hugged Xiang Wentian, her almost hoarse voice still sounding so intoxicating: " Brother Wentian, I'm not unhappy, I'm so happy, I'm so happy, I finally see you, you finally talked to me, and said so much and so much, this is the most beautiful and beautiful words I've heard in my life, I really hope this is not a dream, it's not that I have to have that dream every night, when I wake up, there will be nothing, Brother Wentian, you hold me, hug me tightly, I'm so afraid, the time to get together like this is too short, wait for a while at dawn, you will leave, will disappear from my dream, hold me for a while. ”

Xiang Wentian stretched out his hand and lifted Fluttershy's face and said softly: "Fluttershy, you look at me, this is not a dream, I am your brother Wentian, I stand in front of you alive, in the future, every day of your life, you will have me by your side, this is not a dream, this is true, the sun has already told me everything, you can rest assured, I will never leave you." "Really?" Fluttershy looked at Xiang Wentian with confused eyes, "Brother Wentian, are you really by my side and will never leave?" I am not dreaming? Really not dreaming? Brother Wentian, I feel like a butterfly that has been injured and crumbling, I am about to lose it, I am so hard, I can see you every day, but I can't let you find out my existence, obviously I love you, I love you so deeply, It's so deep, but I don't dare to let you know, you are close at hand, but I feel thousands of miles away from you, I, a wounded butterfly, can't fly to your side, I am facing the abyss, I am so painful......"

Xiang Wentian gently stroked Fluttershy's long hair: "No, never, you will never face the abyss again, you will never feel thousands of miles away from me again, we will always be together until the end of life, you are not a butterfly that has been injured and crumbling, you are a cocoon butterfly, your life has just begun, you have a beautiful life, from now on, let me accompany you, okay?" Fluttershy kept nodding with tears in her eyes, "Okay, okay......"

"Ewha Valley is actually such a beautiful place. Fluttershy jumped for joy and said, "I was locked up in that Yexiang Pavilion by Nangong Ao all day long, I really didn't know that the Pear Blossom Valley was so beautiful, with clear streams and distant mountains." Xiang Wentian and Li Yunxuan walked behind Fluttershy, next to the babbling stream, and unknown flowers blooming on both sides of the path, a qiΔ“ quiet paradise, Li Yunxuan smiled, "Fluttershy is getting happier and happier now." Xiang Wentian nodded and said, "Yes, I hope she can always be so happy in the future." Li Yunxuan said with a smile: "With you, the big gang leader, by your side, it's hard to be unhappy." Xiang Wentian smiled: "Yun Xuan, are you making fun of me? By the way, have you asked Nangong Ao Qin Duyang about it?"

Li Yunxuan's expression darkened: "He said, there is no revenge for Leng Xiaoyu and his wife at all, Qin Duyang was seriously injured in order to save his righteous brother, and the Nangong family has been very peaceful these days, including Pear Blossom Valley, and no outsiders have ever come." Xiang Wentian thought for a moment and said, "Or Qin Duan will think that you will go directly to the Alliance Lord's Mansion to find him." Li Yunxuan said: "Yes, he never imagined that we would come to the Nangong family for verification first, with the prominent position and huge power of the Nangong family in the rivers and lakes, he concluded that I would not provoke the Nangong family for no reason, so he used the Nangong family as an excuse, the purpose was just to lead me to him to take revenge." ”

Xiang Wentian turned around and asked, "Then what are your plans now?" Li Yunxuan said, "I want to go to Kundu." Xiang Wentian was puzzled: "Kundu, what are you going to do in Kundu?" Li Yunxuan said: "Uncle is the little prince of Kundu Zhangwangfu, when the uncle left, he said that he wanted to go home and deal with some old things, and there is that when the two mansions of Bingzhou Leng and Li were tragically destroyed, the uncle transferred Xiaoyue's grandfather and grandmother to Zhangwangfu, I want to go and see." "Xiaoyue's grandfather and grandmother?" Xiang Wentian said, "Then Miss Xiaoyue should know this, and then you go together." Li Yunxuan shook his head: "In this way, it will inevitably bring out her life experience, besides, now that more than ten years have passed, I don't know if the two old people are still alive, I will hurry up, it will only be a few days' trip, if the two old men are alive, it will not be too late for me to take Xiaoyue again." ”

"Hmm. Xiang Wentian nodded and said: "That's okay, I haven't seen my uncle for a long time, I miss it very much, I'll go with you." Li Yunxuan said: "You still have Miss Fluttershy to take care of, you go back to the gang first, a few days ago I sent out to find out the news of the uncle, Ruying came back to report that the uncle is fine, now Zhang Wangfu, the gang is now leaderless, although the brothers are loyal, but you can't delay outside for too long." ”

Don't pass by Xiang Wentian and Fluttershy, Li Yunxuan quickly whipped his horse and ran to Kundu. (To be continued......)
