Chapter 7 Chapter Six

Night fell. The new moon is like a hook. A few smoky clouds dyed the quiet night sky. The tree shadows are as light as splashed ink in the night. A lamp was lit in the west wing of Fengyuan. In a blue and white porcelain vase, a branch of wintersweet is faintly yellow. The brazier was burning hot. Ruge leaned against the window and quietly read a book, Lavender carefully wiped the dust on the agarwood flower stand, Dieyi frowned and tidied the brocade quilt on the bed. It was very quiet in the house. However, there seemed to be a depressive atmosphere brewing. Dieyi couldn't help but clenched the brocade quilt tightly in her hand, and turned her head, "Master Feng is really too much! Why do you live in the same yard with him when you are an innocent girl? What are you talking about when others know about it?" !"

Since the incident in Jucuitang a few days ago, Zhan Feng "invited" Ruge to move into Fengyuan. Ru Ge still read the book, smiled and said: "If you come, you will be fine." Dieyi said anxiously: "Miss, you are still laughing! What is this, have we been imprisoned?! We were locked in Fengyuan all day, and it was impossible to get out, and no one talked to us, even the servant girl Seeing us is like seeing a ghost! Not to mention that you are still the owner of the villa, even if you are just a young lady, they can't be so presumptuous!" Ruge sighed softly: "I just didn't expect you to be under house arrest too." It seems that Zhan Feng and Yi Lang didn't want to give her a chance to communicate with the outside world.

Dieyi said angrily: "Not only me and Xunyi, but even Miss Huang Cong couldn't walk through the door of Fengyuan." Lavender said softly: "It's been more than ten days. Some items that need to be added to the house were bought and brought in by Master Feng." "The makeup powder they bought smells choking!" Dieyi complained. "Oh." Ruge smiled faintly, and turned the scroll over a page. There was another silence in the room. Dieyi bit her lips tightly, looked at Ruge for a long time, and said in frustration: "Miss, are you really not angry?"

Ruge raised her head and said with a smile: "Angry, I also think the fragrance of those powders is too strong." Dieyi stomped and said, "Little ─ sis ─ ─!" Ru Ge just smiled. Lavender said softly: "Don't worry about Dieyi, Miss is so calm, she must have made up her mind." At this time, the cotton curtain with sketched flowers was pulled open. Huang Cong walked in, frowning slightly. Ruge put the book on the Chenxiang table, smiled at Xunyi and Dieyi: "If the two sisters are tired, go to rest earlier." After Lavender and Dieyi bowed and retreated, Huang Cong put a small ball of paper into Rusinger.

Ruge unfolded it, watched it carefully, and took a slow breath. Huang Cong said softly, "I'm afraid Mr. Lei won't be able to last tonight." Ruge closes her eyes. Although she had ordered Lei Jinghong not to be hurt that day as the owner of the villa, but if he "died of natural illness", it would be difficult for her to speak.If Lei Jinghong died, there would be no proof, even if she came forward to defend him, many things would be hard to explain. After a while, Ruge opened his eyes and asked, "How is the arrangement outside?" "The person has been found."

"Will Qing Gui be in danger?" "No one would have thought that he was Qing Gui." "Tonight, then." "Okay, I'll go get ready." "Huang Cong..." "...?" "Thank you." Huang Cong smiled slightly: "We all know how important you are to the prince." Ruge couldn't speak anymore. See you in a hurry in the forest... The green shirt is light... Gentle as jade... His breath seems to be still in my ears... But many things have changed their appearance... Ruge took a deep breath, as if there was blood surging in his chest.She didn't know whether what she was about to do was right or wrong, whether she would succeed, and what price she would pay if she failed.

But- Now she can only choose to do this! "Why is it so troublesome! Simply kill that Lie Ruge with a knife, the most straightforward!" Baihe Tower in Miaohe Town. Dao Wuhen threw down the bamboo chopsticks angrily. Dao Wuxia gently shook his fan: "Zhan Feng is actually a passionate person." "passionate?" "Locking Miss Ruge in his Fengyuan courtyard, outsiders only think that he is under house arrest, but Zhan Feng is also protecting her." There was hatred in Dao Wuhen's eyes: "Zhan Feng...is so indifferent to Xiangmei, and even gave Xiangmei another yard after getting married. It seems that the two of them haven't even exchanged a word."

Dao Wuxia raised his eyebrows: "Sister Xiang, I will make up for it in the future." Dao Wuhen glanced at his elder brother, wanted to say something, but finally held back. after awhile. Dao Wuhen sighed sadly: "It was such a good opportunity, but it was destroyed by Lie Ruge." If the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Gate can be accepted, then the incomparably powerful firearms and endless wealth will make the world Wudao's strength greatly increased. Dao Wuxia's folding fan was waving very elegantly: "If Miss Ruge had panicked a little at that time, the scene would have been very different."

"She was very calm." "It's terribly calm." Dao Wuhen's eyes narrowed: "If such a person stays for one more day, he will be more dangerous." Dao Wuxia shook his fan and laughed lightly: "Even if it's dangerous, it's also Zhan Feng and Yi Lang's danger. Don't forget that Lie Huo Zhuang is different from Wudao City in the world after all." The night sky seemed to be dark blue. The light of the new moon is bright and gentle. Sprinkle quietly in the maple courtyard. The aroma of wine diffused from a room in the east wing of Fengyuan.

The smell was strong. It's as thick as a pain that a person will never be able to express. There are no unnecessary furnishings and decorations in the house. There is only one bed, one table, and two benches. There are more than a dozen wine jars piled up messily under the window. Zhan Feng hugged the wine jar and drank heavily. His cheeks were flushed. However, the fundus of his eyes was still an indifferent blue. There is a knock on the door. Zhan Feng slowly put the wine jar on the wooden table. "Who?" His voice was low. "It's me." The answer was as light as flying snow.

Zhan Feng suddenly froze. When he stood up, he staggered a little, and his palms were slightly sweaty.The window was open, and a gust of cold wind poured in. His alcoholism rushed up like a darkly burning coal fire. He opens the door. Ru Ge stood outside the door, wearing a plain white cloak embroidered with extremely elegant white plums.She looked at him, her eyes were as bright as stars, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her lips. "May I come inside?" In a trance, Zhan Feng felt that this sentence was so familiar. It should be summer then. She knocked on his door and asked the same question. She was wearing bright red clothes, holding a large wooden box in her arms, and inside the wooden box were fourteen dried lotus flowers... That time, it was her last effort, she asked him if he loved her... The crumbs of the lotus are flying all over the sky... Her sad eyes tore him to pieces... That time, she left. Today, her smile is very faint, as if he is just a stranger. "Can I come in?" she asked again with a small smile. Zhan Feng turned slightly and let her walk in. Ruge sat down at the wooden table, and looked at the jar of wine on the table with a smile: "I can smell the aroma of your wine in the yard. What's the name of the delicious wine?" "Burning the knife." Ru Ge pulled the wine jar closer, sniffed it, and said with a smile: "Burning knife? It should be the most common wine, but it has such a strong aroma, so it can be seen that expensive wines are not necessarily good to drink." Zhan Feng looked at her. Ru Ge rubbed her nose and smiled: "Hehe, do you know why I came here?" "why?" His voice was a little hoarse. Ru Ge looked at him and smiled: "Because──I suddenly want to drink." There were no wine glasses in the room. Zhan Feng always drinks from the whole altar. Therefore, Ru Ge could only hold the jar and drink. After taking a few sips, Ruge's face turned red. Her eyes are brighter than before. The laughter was also crisper than before. "You and Senior Brother Ji both love to drink, and both like to drink the whole jar." Ruge propped his chin with his right hand, his breath smelled of alcohol, "Then I'm curious, which of the two of you drinks more alcohol?" Woolen cloth?" Zhan Feng's eyes suddenly turned blue. Ru Ge chuckled: "Later, the two of you really competed in drinking capacity and drank for a whole night." "I won." Zhan Feng remembered.That was four years ago, they stole dozens of jars of wine without telling their master, and hid in the depths of the maple forest to drink.He and Ji Jinglei competed to drink, and she and Yu Zihan did justice.He and Ji Jinglei were drunk at the same time, but he drank half a bottle more than Ji Jinglei. Ruge laughed when she heard the words, she stretched out her index finger, shook it, her eyes were a little weird: "You are wrong." Zhan Feng looked at her. Ruge laughed mockingly: "You didn't win. Because someone cheated." "Cheating?" "That's right," Ru Ge said with sleepy eyes, "I cheated, do you know?" She chuckled softly, "When I reached the eighth jar, I was worried that you would lose, so in the wine jar behind you I mixed it with water." Zhan Feng's body gradually froze. "why?" Ru Ge was lying on the table, her face was so red that people wanted to pinch her, she looked at him and smiled, "Because Senior Brother Ji will only laugh when he loses, but you won't be able to let go of it for a long time when you lose." Zhan Feng took a big gulp of wine. The wine splashed along the side of the altar to wet his dark blue cloth. Ruge chuckled and said: "Since you were young, you must do your best no matter what you do. The internal strength must be the strongest, the lightness skill must be the best, and the sword technique must be the fastest... Brother Yu's poems are better than yours, and he is loved by the teacher." Praise, you were unhappy for three full months, studying poetry until the teacher praised you one day... So, I want you to win in the wine fight, hehe, I just want you to be happy at that time..." She tilted her head to look at him: "You know? I always thought you were a hero." Zhan Feng's curly hair is black and blue, and the sapphire in his right ear is shining in the dark. His eyes were bottomless. Ruge smiled lightly: "You are a hero, so you can't bear failure, and you can't fail. So, I used to like you so much that even I was surprised." once…… Why these two words, like a knife, pierced his chest as cold as death. Ruge picked up the jar, took a few sips of "gudong gudong", then wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a wry smile: "Now, I know I was wrong──" Her eyes became cold. "──A hero will not step on others viciously!" She looked at him: "And you are just an unscrupulous person. When others may hinder you, you will mercilessly get rid of him. Eight-year-old Xie Xiaofeng is like this, Yingyi is like this, Lei Jinghong is like this." So it is to me, too.” Zhan Feng's eyes turned a deep ice blue. "Perhaps, I should thank you," Ruge smiled faintly, "You didn't kill me. After all, it would be much easier to kill me, and you don't have to send so many people to watch me every day." Zhan Feng's heart seemed to be frozen. "You really want to be the owner of the villa, don't you?" Ru Ge asked calmly without smiling. But Zhan Feng had a weird smile on his lips: "You shouldn't be the owner of the villa." Ruge looked at him: "I don't want to be the owner of this villa. However, I can't hand over Liehuozhuang Villa to you and Yilang." Zhan Feng closed his eyes. The jewel in the right ear was dimmed. "Tell me, why is the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Gate." Ruge said coldly, "Is it because you want to find a murderer for Dad's death, or is it because the Thunderbolt Gate threatens the status of Liehuozhuang, and they have greedy wealth and firearms. " Zhan Feng frowned slightly, as if there was inexplicable pain in his body. Ruge's voice was even colder: "Or, there are several reasons for this?" Zhan Feng inhaled lightly: "You don't need to know." Ruge didn't expect him to answer like this, so he laughed and said, "Oh, so, I shouldn't know anything, so why are you stirring up a bloody storm?" Zhan Feng's eyes slowly opened. There is pain in the eyes. There is also a surprising shade of light blue. "You should be by the lotus pond, laughing as sweetly as silver bells, looking at the pink lotus, eating fresh lotus root, touching the dewdrops on the lotus leaves with your fingers... that will be your happiness." He smiled bitterly: "You shouldn't know those filthy things, you just need to see the most beautiful lotus in the world." She is the pure lotus in the world; he is the mud of dirt. Ruge looked at him, speechless for a long time. Finally, she smiled wryly: "Who took away my happiness?" Zhan Feng stroked the knife beside him. The knife is called "Destiny". He seemed to groan in pain: "It's destiny." "Destiny?" Ruge smiled lightly, "Is there really a destiny in the world? Before, I only believed in hard work." A cold wind blew in through the half-opened windows. Ruge's drunkenness was aroused, and she shivered abruptly. There was a trace of pity in Zhan Feng's eyes.He struggled to stand up and walked towards the window, staggering a bit like a drunk.He closed the window tremblingly, and then slowly slid down. He leaned against the corner, his face pale, as if he couldn't stand up anymore. His body seemed to be bitten by thousands of ants, and the pain spread to all internal organs. Ruge looked at him. His eyes were dark blue. In the suddenly silent room, only two people were breathing. "I was poisoned." Ru Ge quietly said to him, with plain white cloak and blush cheeks, her tone was so calm. Zhan Feng said bitterly: "Yes." Very poisonous, colorless and odorless.The poison should have been applied to the mouth of the wine jar when she was touching it. Ru Ge stared at him: "Will you hate me?" Zhan Feng's lips were pale, and his smile was pale: "With this sentence, I will not hate you anymore." It turns out that she still cares about his feelings. She whispered, "Sorry." "...Will you wait until I die before leaving?" Her eyes were strange: "Do you think this poison will kill you?" "It's fine if... die..." At this moment, he seemed to have no strength to speak. "Do you know the purpose of my coming?" Ruge sighed. A bitter smile appeared on Zhan Feng's lips.He only knew that if there was no purpose, she would never look at him again. Ruge came over and knelt down beside him: "Give me the token." To bring Lei Jinghong out of the dungeon, Zhan Feng's token is necessary. Zhan Feng smiled bitterly: "Why do you insist on saving Lei Jinghong?" She frowned and said, "Don't you think it's shameful to frame someone like that?" Zhan Feng leaned against the wall, his face pale as paper: "Don't leave the villa...it will be very dangerous outside..." There is deep pain in the eyes. He knew that if Ruge left Liehuozhuang, the hostility between him and her would no longer be reconciled, and even the superficial calm would no longer be maintained. Ruge said softly: "If you stay here, you will be imprisoned forever..." If you fly out of the cage, you will inevitably face danger and hardship, so she cannot avoid it.
