Chapter 2 Chapter One

Great day. Liehuozhuang is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and red happy characters are everywhere. The red lanterns reflect the night sky as brightly as day. The aroma of wine is accompanied by the aroma of vegetables, wafting thickly in the night wind. The guests came from all corners of the country, they were greeted by Murong Yizhao, the master of Jinhuo Hall, and they sat down at their respective banquets, chatting and laughing happily.Which banquet everyone should sit at, and what kind of people should sit at the neighboring banquets, Murong arranged every move very carefully.Otherwise, if friends from the rivers and lakes who have always been at odds sit together, even if it doesn't cause any trouble because of Lie Huozhuang's face, it will be very boring.

Murong greeted the guests with a red face, and secretly looked at the excited Li Mingjing on the main seat in front of the courtyard in surprise. For more than ten years, he has never seen Lie Mingjing so happy. Lie Mingjing sat on a red sandalwood armchair with a white tiger fur back, his thick white hair was combed neatly, he brushed his beard and smiled, that smile was so kind, the scars on his face seemed to disappear in the smile. Ruge was also very surprised, she turned her head to look at Yu Zihan beside her, and said with a smile: "Look, Dad is so happy as if he is the bridegroom."

Yu Zihan smiled. Master felt refreshed tonight, indeed a rare good mood. Lie Mingjing's face turned serious: "What nonsense!" Ruge shrugged her nose and smiled easily: "Father, you don't have to fool me, my daughter knows you are in a good mood right now, so she won't be angry!" Lie Mingjing stared at her for a moment, then suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay! As expected of my Linglong's darling daughter! Daddy is not angry, Daddy is really happy tonight! Hahahaha..." His laughter pierced the sky, stirring in the brightly lit night. During the banquet.

Dao Wuxia and Dao Wuhen from Tianxia Wudaocheng, Shaolin's Abbot Liumei, Wudang's Master Songyazi, and Emei's Master Jingyun were all slightly startled, and followed the sound to look at the laughing Lie Mingjing. Lie Mingjing has dominated martial arts for decades, and he rarely indulged his emotions in front of everyone. How could Zhan Feng's marriage make him so happy? Could it be true that as the rumors said, after Liehuozhuang and Tianxia Wudaocheng got married, Lie Mingjing would pass on the title of the owner to Zhan Feng? Dao Wuxia and Dao Wuhen looked at each other.

Murong made a thoughtful move. Ji Jinglei smiled and slapped the mud off the wine jar, and looked up to drink freely. Yi Lang was dressed in gray. Amid Lie Mingjing's laughter, he lowered his head. There was a dim light in the gray eyes. Ruge sighed lightly: "Father, you must be too partial. Could it be that Senior Brother Feng is so important in Daddy's heart?" Lie Mingjing raised his eyebrows and said, "Ge'er, are you jealous?" Such a strong sour smell... Ru Ge said coquettishly: "Yes! I want Dad to only have me in his heart! Brother Feng's marriage makes Dad so happy, I can't even do it. No, I'm jealous!"

Yu Zihan's eyes are as gentle as spring water. He understands like a song.Zhan Feng got married, and although the master who loved his daughter like his life was happy for his disciple, he still couldn't let go of his daughter's knots.Her acting like a baby can let the master know that Zhan Feng's shadow has disappeared from her heart. Lie Mingjing laughed and patted the back of his daughter's hand: "My dear daughter, you are my father's favorite baby, and my father will give you all the good things in the world!" Ruge smiled and said, "Thank you dad."

At this time. "New──person──to──!" A beaming announcement pushed the atmosphere of the wedding banquet to a climax! The lanterns on the treetops and eaves were red for a long time. The maple trees in late autumn are as bright red as if drunk. On the bright red maple road. Zhan Feng and Dao Liexiang were wearing bright red wedding clothes. Dao Liexiang's wedding dress is embroidered with a golden phoenix about to fly, and the phoenix crown and tassels studded with pearls and jade loomingly cover her handsome face. Zhan Feng is also wearing a red wedding robe. His curly hair, so dark that it was almost blue, fluttered over his shoulders indifferently; his eyes were also an indifferent blue; the sapphire in his right ear shone coldly under the red light of the lantern.

This icy blue color looks so weird and out of tune with his scarlet wedding gown. Numerous bridesmaids, maids, and children surrounded the couple. They laughed and made noises, and sprinkled millet, peanuts, flower petals, and candies on the bride's head... Laughter and congratulations sounded like a tide in the courtyard... Lie Mingjing laughed loudly... The pride in Dao Wuxia's eyes couldn't be concealed... There was silence in Ruge's heart. She looked at the bright red ribbon held between Zhan Feng and Dao Liexiang. In the middle of the ribbon, there is a flower. The red ribbon is attached to Zhan Feng and Dao Lie Xiang. Amidst the congratulatory sounds of the crowd, and under the singing maple leaves all over the tree, he and she slowly walked over.

... By the lotus pond in summer. The green lotus leaves are full of lotus flowers. Xiao Zhanfeng in blue asked Xiao Ruge in red: "Why do you like to wear red clothes?" Xiao Ruge smiled smugly: "Because she's pretty!" "Why are red clothes beautiful?" "fool!" Xiao Ruge shames him. Xiao Zhanfeng stared at her angrily.No one in the world can say that he is stupid!However, she laughed "hehe" again, her smile was more pink and transparent than the lotus in the lotus pond.Xiao Zhanfeng blushed. Xiao Ruge smiled: "You are so stupid! You forgot, brides wear red clothes when they get married! The bride is the most beautiful person in the world, it must be because they all wear red clothes! Hehe..."

"You are not the bride..." Xiao Zhanfeng kicked the water in the lotus pond. "I will become a bride when I grow up!" Thinking about it, Xiao Ruge said with a bitter face, "Ah, it will take a long time, when will I grow up..." Xiao Zhanfeng said awkwardly: "I want to be a bride so much." "Yes!" Xiao Ruge nodded vigorously. "Then..." Xiao Zhanfeng was in trouble for a long time, and finally said, "...Then you will be my bride..." "Ah!" Xiao Ruge jumped up excitedly, almost threw herself into the lotus pond, Xiao Zhanfeng supported her.She happily tugged on his sleeve, shook and said, "You said it, don't go back on your word, otherwise I will never play with you again!"

Xiao Zhanfeng didn't bother to talk to her. In the lotus pond, pink lotus blooms quietly. The two pairs of little feet swayed in circles of transparent ripples. Xiao Ruge tilted her head, and suddenly thought of a question: "Why do you want me to be your bride?" Xiao Zhanfeng blinked his bright blue eyes: "Because you are wearing red clothes, I can save money." Xiao Ruge was taken aback. Then, she slapped the water with her foot, and the water splashed Xiao Zhan Feng's head and body! Childhood laughter rippling by the pond full of lotus... The light from the lanterns made the maple leaves red. Trees full of maple leaves. Bright as fire. Zhan Feng and Dao Liexiang had already reached the most glorious part of the courtyard decorated with lights. A maple leaf floats down lightly. It lightly floated on Zhan Feng's shoulder. "Bow to heaven and earth!" Lie Mingjing has a flying white beard and a smile on the corner of his mouth, like a kind father; Dao Wuxia shook his fan and smiled lightly, Dao Wuhen drank a glass of wine; Yu Zihan gently covered Ruge's palm, his lips were as clear as a distant mountain His smile is a blessing to Zhan Feng. The laughter of the guests and the booing of the children made the night suddenly noisy. When Zhan Feng saluted, he saw a person. She is in the light. There are five steps away. Zhan Feng felt the change in her. She has grown up, her childishness and innocence are much less, and her appearance seems to be a little different, with a beautiful charm in her eyebrows and eyes.She just stood there indifferently, but it seemed that there was a flame-like brilliance that made people unable to open their eyes. "Second obeisance to the high hall!" Zhan Feng and Dao Liexiang bowed down to Lie Mingjing. Lie Mingjing laughed and waved, his expression of relief and satisfaction surprised everyone present. She, standing behind Lie Mingjing. she is smiling. She still wears bright red clothes, so bright red that it eclipses the red maple in late autumn; her eyes are still bright, as bright and clear as a stream glowing with sunlight in the morning.Her smile was soft, as if piercing through him, reminding him of a distant childhood, an interesting past. Her smile is calm and beautiful, as if nothing can change her state of mind. Zhan Feng's pupils slowly constricted. A burst of cold pain slowly passed through his heart. "Husband and wife salute!" The children clamored even more vigorously, and the bolder children stretched out their hands, trying to push Zhan Feng onto the bride. Cold breath! The children's hands were blocked by the cold knife air, and their bodies seemed to have fallen into an ice cave. One child was so frightened that he cried "Wow──"... The crying child was carried away immediately. The rest of the children were shaking with shock. The atmosphere of the wedding banquet suddenly became weird. In the original bustle and bustle, a strange discord suddenly burst into it. The maple leaves are falling all over the sky! The flames of the lanterns in the courtyard suddenly dimmed! The cold light shivered! An autumn-like saber light approached Dao Liexiang's chest! Between electric light and flint. A snow-white figure rushed towards the bride Dao Liexiang like a ghost! That person appeared so suddenly... No one had time to react! Ruge was startled——startled—! Then, a burst of icy heaviness slowly poured down. Although she hasn't seen the white shadow clearly yet, she has already guessed who it is! gasp... Ruge's heart and lungs are filled with chills. Stupid behavior!That should have been her only reaction.However, she suddenly felt sad.This kind of sorrow is not only for Yingyi, but part of it seems to be for herself.At this moment, she could suddenly feel Yingyi's heart. The dagger fell to the bluestone ground with a sound of "Dang--". Zhan Feng's right arm oozes blood. The man in white fell to Zhan Feng's feet in embarrassment!The fallen figure was thin and frail, like dewdrops soaking in the cool air in the middle of the night.Her petite body was wrapped in white clothes, like a young white flower. She struggled to raise her head, her face was full of tears, and she was surprisingly vulnerable under the glowing red lantern. Zhan Feng's eyes were cold: "It's you." Tears flowed down her chin, Yingyi said sadly: "Isn't it only me in your heart?" The weeping sound was gentle, like a cuckoo's weeping blood. In the courtyard. An eerie dead silence. The fiery red maple leaves danced in the night wind. The bright red lanterns also danced along with it. The fire in the banquet was flickering and flickering. Lie Mingjing frowned deeply. Yilang signaled to the disciples of the villa to take away the troublesome Yingyi. Yingyi smiled miserably, and suddenly grabbed the dagger on the ground, pointed it at her chest, and said, "Whoever comes up, I will die here!" Yi Lang sneered, and waved his hand to order the disciples of the villa to continue.Stupid woman, if it wasn't for the wedding banquet, she would be dead by now.Even if her blood was really splashed on the spot, people in the world who are used to killing would not even blink their eyes. The villa disciples approached Yingyi... Yingyi suddenly laughed sadly: "I don't regret my death! But, if I die, the child in my belly will go too!" There was an uproar! Lie Mingjing's eyes grow sharply! Dao Wuxia folded the fan violently, and narrowed his eyes slightly. But Zhan Feng didn't seem to hear it, and there was a weird hint on the corner of his lonely lips. Yingyi's eyes were full of tears, and she begged Feng Guanxia's Dao Liexiang sadly: "Miss Dao, please help Master Feng and me? Master Feng is my everything, without him I will die ! And... I already have a child of Master Feng..." On the red wedding dress. The golden phoenix is ​​about to fly. Under the phoenix crown of bright pearls and jade. Dao Liexiang's voice was extremely indifferent. "What do you ask me to do? The child is his, not mine." Yingyi never expected that Dao Liexiang would be so indifferent, she couldn't help panicking, tears streaming down like a small river: "Master Feng doesn't like you, he just had to..." Zhan Feng's eyes were as cold as ice. Ying Yiyou wept softly: "If you weren't the third young lady of the World Without Swords City, Master Feng would never marry you...I know...Master Feng only likes me...and our future child... " Dao Liexiang pushed aside Zhuyu's face curtain with her fingers, looked at Zhan Feng lightly with a pair of gloomy eyes, and said: "Mr. Zhan, please take good care of your woman." The wedding reception turned into a farce. All the guests were extremely embarrassed. Although the purpose of the marriage between Liehuozhuang Village and Tianxia Wudao City is well known to everyone, no one could have expected it to be exposed in public like this. Like a song and sigh. She didn't want to watch it anymore.Squatting down lightly, she said to Yu Zihan in the wheelchair with her lips: "I'm a little tired, can I go back?" Yu Zihan nodded. Even in such a noisy and absurd moment, he is still peaceful, with a jade-like brilliance flowing slowly on his Tsing Yi body.Looking at his serene smile, Ruge's heart also calmed down. She pushed up his wheelchair and was about to leave quietly── In the night. But Zhan Feng's cold voice came. "Kill her." Three words as cold as a knife. Then, Zhan Feng said to the master of ceremonies: "The wedding banquet continues." Yingyi was stunned on the spot, her face was pale, and the dagger in her hand was crumbling. The disciples of the villa were also shocked, but they dared not disobey Master Feng's order, so they had no choice but to ruthlessly surround that weak woman. The hilarious silk and bamboo music played again! Zhan Feng's face was calm and unwavering. A hint of mockery flashed across the corner of Dao Liexiang's lips, and Zhuyu's curtain was lowered again. Hatred shot out from Yingyi's eyes! She gritted her teeth and flew towards Zhan Feng's lonely body, shouting loudly: "I am pregnant with your child! I already have your child in my womb!" The dagger angrily stabs at Zhan Feng's chest! At this moment, she hated Zhan Feng to the core!She can't wait for him to die! Ruge closes her eyes. At this moment, she suddenly knew. Yingyi also really loves Zhan Feng.Although her methods are extreme, she really loves Zhan Feng.It is impossible for a woman to have such a strong hatred if she does not have such a strong love. When Ruge opened his eyes. The dagger was already in Zhan Feng's hands. He grabbed Yingyi's hair and pulled her head back weirdly, his words were cruel and indifferent: "Is pregnant with my child?" "Yes." Yingyi's eyes were dry, and her tears had already flowed out. "My child..." The dagger approached her lower abdomen, "It must be a devil when it grows up, why not let it die now..." The sharp dagger pierced Yingyi's lower abdomen. freezing to the bone... Yingyi yelled in despair and fear: "No! My child!!!" Zhan Feng's eyes were dark. The dagger stabbed hard at that soft abdomen! ! The wedding banquet at Lie Volcano Manor. Red lanterns on flaming maple trees. booze. The dish is fragrant. Flower petals, sugar cubes, peanuts, dates scattered all over the ground... "Let her go." A flame-like sound resounded in the dead courtyard. "Let her go!" Under the fiery maple tree. A fiery woman. Her lips were pursed stubbornly, her eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and the dazzling red dress fluttered in the wind of fallen leaves. She supported Yingyi's trembling body, held Zhan Feng's right hand holding the dagger, and said word by word: "You, let go, let her go!" The dagger pierced Yingyi's belly, and the blood dripped down, staining the bluestone ground red. Amazed. All eyes were on the silent Lie Mingjing. Zhan Feng, the eldest disciple of Liehuozhuang Villa and married to Tianxia Wudaocheng, actually clashed with the owner's only daughter on such an important occasion! Lie Mingjing looked gloomy, and the scars on his face were deep enough to show his bones. He stared at Zhan Feng and Ru Ge who were in a stalemate, with complexities in his eyes that no one could understand. finally── He clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Good──!" Lie Mingjing has a majestic figure and thick white hair. His gaze seemed to see everyone present that night in an instant! "On Feng'er's big day, all my friends are present, I announce—" He looked at Ru Ge, and said with a smile: "──The little girl Ru Ge will inherit the position of owner of Lie Huo Huo Village! She is still young and has a hot temper, so I need everyone to forgive me! I will leave the small troubles of this wedding banquet to Ge It's done! Everyone, don't spoil the fun! Come, drink! Play music!" The development of the situation is so unexpected! The future heir of Liehuozhuang Village is not Zhan Feng! Everyone pressed down in shock, drinking and laughing with Lie Mingjing, congratulations sounded from every corner of the courtyard... this side... Ruge picked up the fainted Yingyi, turned around and left, Zhan Feng and the wedding banquet were left behind by her. Only Yu Zihan left with her. lonely night. The voice of "Li---Cheng---" came from afar. Ruge suddenly felt very cold. The villa gradually quieted down. The red lanterns are still hung all over the treetops and eaves, brightly lighting up the hall, and the big red happy characters are still bright and eye-catching, as if to remind everyone that tonight is the wedding night of Zhan Feng and Dao Liexiang. However, there was no laughter. Only the quiet wind. The night in late autumn is as cold as winter. The moonlight is very bright. It shines in the large dark red maple forest. Ruge was extremely tired, leaning against the maple tree, she seemed so tired that she couldn't open her eyes.Her body slowly slid down, and she sat on the ground covered with maple leaves. Under the moonlight, her face was a little pale. Beads of sweat dripped from the forehead. Yingyi's blood soaked her clothes, a dark brown, as if a faint smell of blood still lingered around her. She is exhausted. I don't want to go back. Right here in the maple forest, she wanted to sleep quietly. In the maple forest, there are insects singing, and there seem to be fireflies, and the faint light is looming. Ru Ge fell asleep quietly. The red clothes looked extraordinarily thin in the cold night... so cold... She shrank and gradually hugged her body tightly, her brows furrowed. A group of crystal light flowed out from her embrace, gracefully and endlessly... If you look carefully... The light seemed to come from an ice flower in her arms... As light as the snow on the Tianshan Mountains... Reflecting the warm spring sun... The light is getting brighter... Wrap her sleeping warmly... There was a slight smile on her lips. In her sleep, she can return to the carefree past. In the maple forest. Ruge is having a warm dream. By the lotus pond. There was a cold glacier in Zhan Feng's eyes. That can no longer be called a lotus pond. No lotus. No lotus leaves. There was no water either. By the side of the barren lotus pond. Zhan Feng was dressed in dark blue cloth, with his knife on his right hand.He looked at the lotus pond, wondering what he was thinking, his blue curly hair fluttering slightly. Suddenly, he smiled. A touch of bright blue lit up his lonely eyes. ... That summer, it was in this lotus pond. The pool is full of green leaves. A pond full of pink lotus flowers. Suddenly, both he and she were so shy that they didn't know where to put their hands and feet, and their flushed cheeks seemed to be able to reflect the blue sky red.Her red dress was bright, and she was held in his arms, and her nervous and disordered breathing rang in his ears. She is nervous. In fact, he was also very nervous.I don't know if she found out. My heart beats like it's going to pop out of my throat! Forgot how long she was in his arms at that time. Just remember, he wished like a child, let time die, let this moment stop forever. ... In the maple forest. Ruge was suddenly disturbed by something, her body trembled, and her warm dream was suddenly shattered. The brilliance of the ice flower disappeared into her skirt. As if it never appeared. She opened her eyes, and before she had time to recall what she had dreamed, she saw the dark blue figure at the side of the lotus pond outside the maple forest. The bright moonlight casts long shadows in the barren lotus pond. Lonely back. Dark blue cloth. Zhan Feng. and his knife. He has his back to her. She didn't know how long he had been there. is she awake? Zhan Feng's palm, which was full of cocoons, suddenly felt a hot flash. Ru Ge stood up, and the red leaves "rusted" from her clothes.She wanted to leave quietly, pretending not to see him.However, the bright moon in the sky and his chilly back made her suddenly say: "You shouldn't be here." Zhan Feng didn't look back. After waiting for a while, just when she thought he would not answer, she heard his deep voice: "You ordered people to fill in the lotus pond." "yes." "Why did you fill it up?" He was by the lotus pond, she was in the maple forest, and the moonlight shone faintly on him and her. "Tonight is your wedding night." Her voice was as pale as moonlight. "Are you afraid of me?" Zhan Feng suddenly turned his head and stared at her, with a gloomy look in his eyes. "The knife girl is waiting for you." He sneered: "It has become so timid. If you are afraid of approaching me, you can no longer walk away from me." Ru Ge was startled, and then she said: "Don't provoke me, if you want me to accompany you, just say so." Zhan Feng's pupils constricted, and after a long while, he said, "Let's go." Still the stubborn Zhan Feng. She used to be so familiar with that Zhan Feng... Such a night, the dark red maple forest, the barren lotus pond, many things that she wanted to forget, lightly came to mind again. She sits beside him. Looking at the lotus pond filled with soil, her heart also seemed to be blocked. "Tell me, what happened?" What made Zhan Feng, whom she was so familiar with, disappear; what made him become as cold as a demon. He is silent. "Mandate of Heaven" glows faintly in the moonlight. "Is it for power?" She asked, "If it is for power, you can marry me without using Yingyi to force me away." He remained silent. "Why did you marry Dao Liexiang? What is Lie Huozhuang that can't give you, but you have to go through Tianxia Wudao City?" She continued to press. "Could it be...you hate my father..." His body shook, and sharp lights burst out in his eyes! "What did you say?!" "You hate my father, don't you?" She smiled wryly, "Since two years ago, you have looked at my father in a weird way." "I don't." There was a chill in his words. She smiled: "It's fine if you don't." The moonlight is like water. Ruge's smile gradually faded away. "Then, Zhan Feng, please tell me why you became a devil." Her words froze Zhan Feng's body like the blizzard of winter! "You can crush the neck of a nine-year-old child, and you can stab a knife into the belly of a woman who is pregnant with your own flesh and blood. What a cruel person you are." She stares at him. Keep looking into his eyes. "My flesh and blood?" Zhan Feng suddenly laughed mockingly. She frowned: "Why, what's wrong?" "In this world, there will never be my flesh and blood. Devil, only one is enough." She was puzzled. Zhan Feng stood up, holding his knife in his hand. The moonlight shone on his dark blue clothes, his black and blue curly hair fluttered slightly, and the sapphire in his right ear shone with a strange dark light. His eyes were suddenly as blue as the sea: "If one day, I really become a devil, will you kill me?" The wind is bone-chillingly cold. Ruge is wearing a red dress, and the maple leaves are singing behind her. Her face is crystal clear, her lips are pursed, and there seems to be flames burning in her eyes. "meeting." I will kill you. The voice seemed to come out of Zi Ruge's body, with a feeling of unfeeling.This voice surprised Ru Ge, she never thought that she would speak so calmly. Zhan Feng seemed to be smiling. Then, he left the lotus pond. The barren lotus pond. In the lotus pond, buried a pair of shoes that had not been stained with dust.Those shoes have a white bottom and blue surface, and they are made of hemp thread. The stitches are very dense and not very neat, but they have been sewn back and forth twice. the next day. "Wow! Miss will be the owner of Lie Huo Manor?!" Die Yi opened her eyes wide in surprise. Lavender dressed Ru Ge carefully, and replied: "The owner announced it like this." Dieyi said confusedly: "However, everyone thought that Master Feng would inherit Lie Huozhuang... Besides, Miss has no experience, will there be any problems..." Lavender smiled slightly: "Don't you believe in Miss' ability?" Dieyi blushed: "I didn't mean that... I meant..." Ru Ge looked at the bronze mirror and said with a smile: "Maybe Dad was just joking." Lavender gently combed Ruge's long hair, careful not to pull her hair, whispered: "The owner has never joked in front of everyone." Ruge was taken aback. "You mean, dad is serious?" "The owner of the villa deliberately announced it in front of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and he should be very serious." Lavender said. "Then tell me, why didn't the owner choose Master Feng?" Dieyi scratched his head, "Master Feng even sacrificed himself to marry Wudao City in the world, why..." "Only the young lady is the flesh and blood of the owner." Lavender pulled up Ruge's long hair into a refreshing hairstyle. Ruge was secretly startled, she suddenly felt that there was some mockery in Lavender's tone, and looked at her, but her smile was gentle, there was no trace of mockery, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed of her suspicion. Dieyi hesitated and hesitated, and finally couldn't help asking: "Miss, are you happy to be the owner of the villa?" It must be very hard for a lovely and simple girl like Miss to become the owner of the world's number one villa! Ruge smiled: "I want to know the reason for dad." In the bamboo forest. Lie Mingjing sipped the tea his daughter made for him, and said with a big smile, "Good! Geer's tea art has improved even more!" Ruge refilled it for him, the afternoon sun reflected on her cheeks through the bamboo leaves, her cheeks were pink and translucent, she raised her eyes, and smiled softly: "Father, you always praise your daughter, and you are not afraid of others laughing." Lie Mingjing glared and said: "My daughter is the most outstanding in the world! Who dares to laugh?!" "Father..." Ruge shook her head slightly, but her heart was burning hot, "Just because I'm your daughter, you can't—" Lie Mingjing patted her hand, "Ge'er, Dad only has you as his daughter, and Dad wants to leave the best things to you." She frowned slightly. "Including Fierce Volcano?" On the stone table, there is a warm purple clay pot. The tea is steaming. Lie Mingjing's eyes were majestic and sharp: "The owner of Liehuozhuang can only be you." She was a little startled. After a while, she asked, "Why?" Lie Mingjing stood with his hands behind his back, and the bleak bamboo leaves rustled in the middle of autumn. "Liehuozhuang was fought down by my brother and I with bare hands. For it, we have experienced countless battles, encountered countless crises, endured countless humiliations, and shed countless blood. Then, there is the current Agni Villa." His voice was bleak. "Every move of Liehuozhuang Village will affect the situation of Wulin. I can rest assured only if I leave it to you." "Why not Zhan Feng?" "..." Lie Mingjing shook his head, his eyes dimmed. "Zhan Feng's father, Zhan Feitian, isn't he the brother you worshiped back then?" Ru Ge stared at him, "Uncle Zhan died strangely. Everyone has doubts.” When Zhan Feitian was in his prime, he committed suicide suddenly, leaving behind his wife and child who had just given birth.After he passed away, his wife also committed suicide, leaving only the infant Zhan Feng.Zhan Fei was naturally bold and optimistic, why he committed suicide is a big unsolved case in martial arts.Naturally, there are many versions of speculation, but the fear of the might of Lie Huo Zhuang is only spread in private. "Furthermore, Zhan Feng is Daddy's eldest disciple, with excellent martial arts and abilities; while I, although I am your daughter, have never interfered with the affairs of the village. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Daddy to announce that I will inherit the position of the owner of the village. public." Ruge secretly sighed. Not only is it hard to convince the public, I'm afraid many people will think that my father is too selfish. Battle Feitian... Lie Mingjing closed his eyes, the scar on the right side of his face was faintly shining, his heart was twisted by the turbulent past events, for a while, he was speechless. He seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. Seeing his father's expression, Ruge couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly supported him: "Father?..." She said the wrong thing.Since childhood, Uncle Zhan's death has been a taboo, never allowed to be mentioned in front of father. Lie Mingjing gradually calmed down. He looked at Ruge with an extremely kind look in his eyes: "Feitian is my good brother, but Zhan Feng's temperament is too cruel and cold... Geer, although you are inexperienced, you are determined and persevering. This The second time you return to the manor, your temper is much calmer than before, and your skills seem to have improved a lot..." She listened quietly, the red clothes reflecting the blue bamboo forest, fluttering in the afternoon wind. Her eyes are dark. A breathtaking beauty flowed, quietly blooming from the bottom of her eyes.This kind of beauty is unconscious, and it is even more thrilling... Lie Mingjing was suddenly surprised! This song, it seems that it is no longer the song before leaving the village! The childishness and greenness were stripped from her body, and she looked like a phoenix after the ashes, with bright brilliance blooming little by little! she looks like... Lie Mingjing tremblingly said: "Your seal..." "Seal?" Ru Ge was puzzled, why did father suddenly say this, "What seal?" seal…… I'm afraid it has been unlocked... That man in white clothes is as dazzling as the sun... Lie Mingjing went back to the stone table and sat down, picked up the teacup, the tea was already cold.Ruge wanted to pour some more hot tea, so he waved his hand and drank the herbal tea. "The owner of Lie Huo Manor can only be you." Fierce Mirror's voice is unquestionable. "But……" Ru Ge still feels wrong. Lie Mingjing raised his eyebrows: "Ge'er, Dad won't let you take over the villa right now. Slowly, you will learn how to deal with affairs in the Jianghu, and all the sects in the Jianghu will begin to accept you." He laughed and said, "Father will help you! You don't have to worry!" "But, I don't like..." Ruge tries hard to persuade her father to give up this idea. "It's decided like that!" Lie Mingjing interrupted her with a big wave of his hand, "You will leave Lie Huozhuang Village the day after tomorrow!" What?Dad actually drove her away? Ruge was stunned: "Father! It's been less than ten days since I came back." Lie Mingjing said in a deep voice: "Recently there seems to be some chaos in the palace, Yu'er should go back earlier. You can go back with him." Ruge was stunned again. Lie Mingjing stared at her, and suddenly smiled kindly, like all fathers in the world who care about their children: "Yu'er has liked you since she was a child." Ruge's cheeks flushed suddenly, and he murmured: "Father..." "Yu'er has a disability, father originally didn't want you to be with him. It's just that Feng'er got married and her temperament has changed a lot..." Lie Mingjing sighed, "Yu'er is also a very good child." Dad actually talked to her about this kind of thing... Ruge can't laugh or cry. It was getting late. Father and daughter chatting and laughing in the bamboo forest. Ru Ge talked about some interesting things after leaving the village, and laughed happily... Lie Mingjing listened and laughed out loud from time to time... His daughter has grown up, and she will have to bear many things in the future.I only hope that when he is still capable, he can make her smile like this forever. I don't know how long I can protect her. nineteen years... Zhan Feng is nineteen years old... That person should be coming soon... The tea on the stone table has cooled completely. The setting sun shone into the bamboo forest, and the light was dyed red. Ruge is leaving. Lie Mingjing uttered the last words of that day── "If Zhan Feng endangers you, kill him." This sentence, the tone is very calm. Ruge was horrified, she looked at her father, but she didn't see his expression. Lie Mingjing had already turned around, his thick white hair was reflected in a reddish color by the setting sun, and his shadow was also reddish, dragging obliquely on the ground of the green bamboo forest. "So, tomorrow we will leave Lie Huo Zhuang." Ru Ge hugged her knees and said with a frown. When she came to Jade Courtyard, she sensitively sensed a tense atmosphere. Xuanhuang and Chizhang were talking to Yu Zihan with serious expressions.Yu Zihan "listened" quietly, no trace of fluctuation could be seen from his calm face. Seeing that they were busy, she didn't want to disturb them at first and planned to come back later, but Yu Zihan had already seen her. The moment I saw her. Yu Zihan's smile was like the gentleness of Lingyu, softly smudged from the corners of his lips to his eyes, and the blue clothes seemed to be gentle. he smiles. Xuanhuang and Chizhang withdrew. Ruge pushed him out and walked slowly in the villa. The sky is blue and high, with clouds floating like wind and smoke, the bright maple forest seems to be burning in the sky, and the leaves of some trees in the distance are golden and shining. Ruge is suddenly very reluctant to leave here. So, she looked a little depressed. Yu Zihan sat peacefully in the wooden wheelchair, staring at her with a bitter face, stroked her frowning brows with slender fingers, and said, "You haven't been back for a long time." This is the place where she was born and raised. After a long time, she must be very reluctant to leave again. "Yeah." She sighed, "I haven't seen Dad for a long time, and I always feel that Dad seems to be getting older... Looking at Dad, I suddenly feel that I am too much. I have always been loved by Dad like that, but I have never done anything for Dad. what……" Her expression became more depressed. Yu Zihan gently lifted her chin, looked at her for a long time, and then said in a low voice, "I will go and tell Master that you don't need to accompany me." Ruge blinked. Suddenly, I felt uncomfortable again. She said in a muffled voice, "It turns out that senior brother doesn't like me by your side." Yu Zihan smiled lightly, and took her into his arms. She broke free from his arms angrily, and stared angrily: "Brother, don't you like me being with you! Do you think I'm useless, so you might as well leave me in the villa!" Yu Zihan smiled. That smile was so pretty that her heart felt like it was in spring water. "song……" His voice was slightly nasal, and because he seldom spoke, his tone was also a bit strange, but it was surprisingly nice. Ruge also knew that she was making trouble for no reason, so she couldn't help laughing.But she didn't want to apologize. By his side, she could be willful and unreasonable, and act like a child. She lay on his lap like a kitten and acted like a baby: "Senior brother, don't you go back to the palace, okay? Just stay here, with Ge'er and dad." Yu Zihan looked at her with guilt in his eyes: "I'm sorry." He has too many responsibilities that he cannot let go of.If he could choose, he hoped to stay by her side forever. She wrinkled her nose and smiled embarrassedly: "Okay, I know that senior brother has no other choice. It seems that the court has been really messed up recently. I am already very happy that you can accompany me back this trip!" Yu Zihan smiled and said, "You don't have to accompany me, just stay here." The palace is too complicated and dark, and the endless battles are not suitable for her. Ruge shook his head: "No, I'm not worried." Yu Zihan was startled slightly. Ruge smiled softly: "I know senior brother is very powerful and capable, but if I'm not by your side, I just don't feel at ease. Dad is also worried about you, so let me accompany you." She held his hand and shook it with a smile: "Speaking of which, I blame you too! He's still my senior brother, why do people always worry about you? I worry about whether you are too tired, whether you are too sad, and whether you are sick or not. There is no discomfort... Only when I look at you by your side can I not keep worrying about my heart." Her eyes are as clear as water. She has a smile in her eyes. She held his hand, and the warmth spread over him, warming his body little by little. The jade in the wheelchair is cold, and the green clothes are like jade. The wind blows through his and her hands. 那一刻，他忘却了语言。 她笑颜盈盈，嘴唇嫩嫩地轻红润泽。 他忽然想起了那一个早晨…… 他吻着她…… 她有些慌乱…… 如歌的脸突然涨得通红，她跳起来，慌乱道：“哎呀，我还有些事情，要马上走了，我先送你回去！”她手忙脚乱地推起轮椅，向玉院走去。 路旁的枫林艳红似火。 她的面颊红如枫叶。 为什么……她会忽然想到那一个清晨……他吻着她……那个吻……青涩而紧张…… 她心跳如鼓，不敢看他，眼睛无意地向枫林望去── 陡然一惊！ 枫林中有人！ 漫天红枫。 红枫深处── 一袭艳红得刺眼的红裳，仿佛盛夏的烈阳，撼得人透不过气！ 妖异的鲜红！ 那鲜红，既有最灿烂的明亮，又有最颓废的黑暗。 一只精美的黄金酒杯。 在苍白的指尖闪亮。 那红衣人长发散肩，赤足而立，肌肤苍白得仿佛他一直被囚禁在地狱中。 眉间一颗殷红的朱砂。 透出邪魅的味道。 红衣人仰天长笑，皓蓝的天空，血红的枫叶急坠飘舞！ 红枫绝美的舞蹈中。 红衣人的纵情长笑却是寂静的，一点声息也没有。 It's so weird! 如歌忍不住揉了揉眼睛，怀疑自己是否在梦中。 待她再望去── 枫林中竟然什么也没有了！ 只有满地翻卷的枫叶。 “奇怪！你有没有看到那个人？！” 如歌诧异极了！ 难道她大白天在发梦？枫林中怎会有人突然出现又突然消失？而且，那红衣人的感觉如此强烈！ 没有听到玉自寒的回答。 她愣了愣，然后哑然失笑。玉自寒是背对她的，自然“听”不到她的说话。 可能这几天她确实累了吧。 或许，真的是她的幻觉。 当莹衣醒过来时，已经是这晚的深夜了。 床边生着一盆火，炭火烧得微红，屋里很暖和。莹衣躺在床上，面孔煞白，额头满是虚汗，枕头被浸得湿透。她颤巍巍睁开眼睛，略怔一怔，突然紧紧捂住她的腹部，失声惊道：“孩子……” “孩子没有了。” 那把匕首刺入了莹衣的腹部，血流如注，任大夫们尽力施救，也不能保住孩子的性命。 莹衣僵住！ 忽然间狂涌出的虚汗使她前胸后背冰凉一片。 过了良久，她慢慢抬起头，眼中渗出恨意：“为什么不让我死！” 如歌望着苍白如鬼的莹衣，心中说不出是什么滋味。她侧过头，用铜勾拨一拨火盆中的炭火，轻声道：“如果你真的很想去死，我不会拦着你。” 莹衣怒瞪她。 然后，慢慢地，眼泪自她两颊滑落…… 她哭了，哭得没有一点声音。 “为什么要这么做？”如歌问道。 莹衣不应该是如此愚蠢的女子。在婚礼上行刺刀冽香，即使成功了，也会搭掉她的性命；那样大闹婚宴，她难道真的以为可以改变战枫的决定吗？在烈火山庄这两年，莹衣不会对战枫一点了解也没有。 莹衣仿佛没有听见。 泪水淌满她苍白的面颊，嘴唇微微发抖。腹部的伤口依然尖锐的痛着，好像会永远停留在战枫将匕首刺入她腹中那一刻。 战枫的眼神冰冷残酷，在他的瞳孔里，没有一丝她的影子…… 如歌将绢帕放到莹衣手中。 “明天我就要离开山庄，你的事情需要今晚解决。” 莹衣缓缓抬眼看她，眼中一片漠然。 “我可以让你走，”如歌声音低静，“只要你告诉我破坏婚宴的真正原因。” “原因？……”莹衣笑容苦涩，“因为我恨他。”她的眼中满是痛苦，“我不要他那样轻松地就丢弃掉我。” 如歌揉一揉眉心：“难道在婚宴上闹一场就可以报复到他吗？而且还牺牲掉了腹中的孩子。莹衣，你决不会是如此蠢笨的一个人……或者你的目的并不在于战枫，而是为了让烈火山庄和天下无刀城在天下群豪面前蒙羞。” 莹衣怔住。 如歌静静道：“你五岁时被父母卖入烟红楼，十一岁开始接客，经常被老鸨龟公鞭打取乐，曾经有四次险些死掉。可是十五岁时，你忽然习得了一身武功，烟红楼的产业也突然转到了你的名下，欺负过你的老鸨龟公们一夜间全部'自尽'而亡。” 黑漆漆的夜色透过单薄的窗纸沁进来。 锃亮的铜盆中，炭火烧得旺红，噼噼啪啪地轻响。 床榻上水红的锦缎软被，映得莹衣的面孔分外苍白，黑幽幽的两只大眼睛空洞而无神：“你……” “这是我命青火堂搜得的资料。”如歌淡笑，“可以告诉我，在你十五岁时忽然现身烟红楼的那个黑纱女子是谁吗？” 莹衣的嘴唇猛然煞白。 如歌用铜勾拨拨火盆中的炭火，热气熏红了她晶莹的面容：“她的名字是否叫做暗夜绝？”她抬眼，瞅着莹衣道，“你到烈火山庄，恐怕也是精心安排下的。” 莹衣闭上眼睛，睫毛在苍白的肌肤上显得格外幽黑。 “告诉我，你的任务是什么？” 莹衣苦笑：“我已然失败了。就算你不杀我，它们也决不会放过我。”暗河是一个残忍黑暗的组织，自从她加入的那一刻，就再没有选择的机会。 如歌凝视她。 “你愿意重新开始吗？” 莹衣眼神怪异，忽然笑得呛咳：“你在说笑吗？” 如歌微笑，笑容里有令人安心的味道。 “如果不想就这样死去，你可以选择相信我。” Early the next morning. 烈火山庄宣布了莹衣的死讯。
