Chapter 6 chapter Five

Lifting the soft sedan three times, under the strict supervision of Tingxuelou's men and horses, they hurried towards Luoyang. However, Fengsha never had a chance to speak to Ah Jing again. When she returned to Xiao Yiqing's side, she seemed to have returned to her usual calm and indifferent, silent and capable, even when she was eating at noon, she was holding a few letters from Feige that had just arrived, and while unsealed, she whispered to Ting Xuezhu. They discussed something in a low voice, excluding outsiders. "Send the food to the private room upstairs. The landlord and Miss Jing won't come down to eat with us."

Almost every time we stopped at a roadside inn, before dinner, the tall young man named Jiang Qiubai said that.As if they had already gotten used to the behavior of the highest level, all the subordinates of Tingxuelou fell silent, and then returned to their places to eat. Those two people would occasionally come downstairs to talk to their subordinates, but their expressions were all indifferent, as if a drop of oil in water did not mix with anything else at all.As long as the sound of his cough resounds in the crowd, everyone will calm down, then drop their hands and back away. Although they are all high-skilled gangsters, when looking at this sickly young man, there is only awe in everyone's eyes, as if they are looking at a high god.

That's their landlord...the martial arts myth who ruled the world. Xiao Yiqing can't be considered taciturn, he often has to be responsible for making decisions for such a huge organization, and most of the things that come out of his mouth are instructions.However, when he was silent, the time seemed to be particularly long - so, in the perception of outsiders, he was really a person who talked too little and was too restrained. Staying beside someone like him seems to be surrounded by an invisible pressure all the time. The feeling of being looked down from top to bottom makes people feel uncomfortable.Perhaps, only Miss Jing can always stay by her side as if nothing had happened.

In Fengsha's eyes, Tingxuelou's master's face is almost pale on weekdays, but his lips are abnormally red; Thin and slender, so pale that the light blue blood vessels under the skin can be seen faintly. In any case, he doesn't look like an overlord... The young man is just a sick man. However, this patient can make most of the healthy people in this world die in front of him with just one word! "Stop, stop the sedan chair!" One day at noon, while on their way, Miss Jing's voice suddenly sounded in the queue, and the three lifts of the soft sedan chair stopped immediately.

Fengsha couldn't help opening the curtain and sticking her head out - because she also heard coughing and panting in the wind! "The landlord, the landlord?" The woman in the scarlet robe got off the sedan chair, came to the soft sedan chair where Xiao Yiqing was located, repelled the left and right subordinates, told them to back away three feet, and then asked the people inside in a low voice through the curtain. no answer. Fengsha only saw a corner of the curtain lifted slightly, a slender hand half-stretched, grabbing the flannelette on the curtain convulsively, the nails had turned a strange purple color - it was clearly the blood stagnation before the onset of suffocation!

She blurted out an exclamation, and stepped out of the sedan chair involuntarily, preparing to go there and perform her duties as a doctor.However, before she approached the sedan chair, Ah Jing stopped her sternly with his eyes, such a look full of murderousness and vigilance, Fengsha was almost overwhelmed for a moment! Ah Jing bent down and took that hand. Xiao Yiqing's fingertips were ice-cold, and her usually extremely stable hand was trembling non-stop.He seemed to be speechless, but through the curtain, he just held her hand convulsively, very tightly. The woman in scarlet clothes hesitated for a moment, and immediately turned around and ordered: "Jiang Qiubai, lead someone to closely guard the landlord's sedan chair! Outsiders who enter within a radius of fifty feet will be killed without mercy!" At that moment, her face was indifferent and fierce. expression, overwhelming.

"Obey, Miss Jing!" All the subordinates knelt down and accepted the order. As soon as the curtain moved, Ah Jing leaned in like lightning, but the people in the sedan chair did not speak.The people outside the sedan chair performed their duties, and for a while, the woodland next to the official road was so quiet that even the sound of the wind could be heard. Feng Sha stood in front of his soft sedan chair, staring blankly at the sedan chair with the curtain hanging in front of him. There was no sound inside, but she only noticed that the original wheezing and coughing in the air gradually subsided and finally disappeared.

After a cup of tea, a beautiful hand slowly opened a corner of the curtain. Behind the veil, the woman in scarlet clothes showed half of her face, and said lightly to the left and right: "It's time to start... I will share the sedan chair with the landlord. Girl, please go back to the sedan chair and go on the road." Behind the curtain, her other hand was still tightly held by Xiao Yiqing, Ah Jing clasped the Chiguan acupoint on his wrist calmly, and pressed the Shenfu acupoint on his chest with the other hand, the internal force penetrated into his chest. The eight extraordinary meridians help him dissolve the medicine he just took as soon as possible.

Leaning against the sedan chair wall, Xiao Yiqing's frighteningly pale complexion began to improve slightly, her eyes were half closed, and her breathing gradually calmed down. "Did you get hurt by the remaining force of the gunpowder just now?" The woman in scarlet clothes asked calmly as the sedan chair moved forward steadily.Tingxue Louzhu slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and cold, like a cold spring reflecting the cold moon.Just like this, he quietly looked at the woman in scarlet clothes beside him, at the fingers she clasped on his big hole... A faint smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"What are you laughing at?" The woman in scarlet clothes asked indifferently, but she couldn't hide her weakness. Hearing that Lord Xue did not answer, for a long time, as if looking at the endless distance, a soft and almost inaudible word slipped from his lips: "I was thinking... If one day I was killed by someone, then I must have died by your hands..." It has been half a month since he entered Tingxuelou, and Fengsha is under house arrest in a room, and he is not allowed to go out a step. "Miss Jing is still injured, and she has to take care of the help. I don't have time to see each other for the time being. Please forgive me, Miss Ye." Beinu said.

Although I don't know the reason why Shu Jingrong brought her here, but even Ye Fengsha knows that he has reached the center of the world's martial arts. I am afraid that there are traps everywhere, and he needs to be careful every step of the way, so there are not many. Ask, just wait quietly. One afternoon half a month later, a maid suddenly came to deliver a message: "Ms. Jing has an order, please meet Ms. Ye in the secret room." Before she could reply, two girls came forward, holding black scarves for her to tie. .After blindfolding, he took her out in a sedan chair. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the sedan chair stopped, and someone on both sides helped her get off the sedan chair, took off her blindfolded black scarf, and immediately retreated. "Fengsha, are you here?" She was wondering where she had come, when she suddenly heard Ah Jing's voice beside her.She turned her head, only to see Ah Jing in scarlet clothes at the other end of the room, raising her head with a smile and saying.This is a three-foot-square room with extremely gorgeous and elegant furnishings. The floor is covered with ermine fur and the walls are inlaid with gemstones. There are two doors in the room, one on the left and the other on the right. Ah Jing was sitting behind a short table, among a pile of documents, she was putting down the vermilion pen in her hand, and looked at the woman who came.Beside her was a landscape made of rockery.Stones are mountains, mercury is rivers, it is actually a small map of mountains and rivers. "There are a lot of things lately, so you have been waiting for a long time." Maybe there are no other subordinates in the secret room. Facing a woman of the same age, her words are no longer as cold and majestic as before, but with some femininity and lightness of a woman. . Fengsha also smiled, but her eyes were already guarded: "I don't know what is the purpose of you taking me back to Tingxuelou, Miss Jing?" Ah Jing smiled faintly, looked out the window, and said, "You... don't you want to see Xiao Gao?..." Before saying a word, before Feng Sha, whose face changed greatly, listened attentively, the eyes of the woman in scarlet clothes suddenly changed, Without any explanation, he pulled Fengsha to the door on the left and pushed her in: "Go in, don't make a sound!" Pushed inexplicably, Fengsha heard footsteps outside another door before the door closed again. "Are you reading the paperwork again?" It turned out...it was that person's voice.Looking through the crack of the door, as soon as the white-clothed boy in light fur came in, he frowned at Ah Jing and asked, his eyes fell on the pile of papers on her case, "Your injury is good, why do you have to do everything yourself. Just let Teacher Zhuang handle it." Ah Jing glanced at him, and said calmly: "Your complexion is better today...have you taken your medicine?" After he sat down on the couch covered with white tiger skin in the room, she got up and raised Zijin The hand stove, wrapped in ermine, lay on his lap, covered with a Persian cloak. Fengsha saw this through the crack of the door, and pondered in his heart: "That's right, Mr. Xiao is a seriously ill man, his blood is too weak, and he must be afraid of the cold, so although the secret room is extremely warm, a fire must still be lit. It's just... it's just right now. In early autumn, the weather is still hot, and it's only Miss Jing who suffers." Xiao Yiqing's face was extremely pale and she couldn't stop coughing. "His face is pale, and his eyes are dark blue. The cough is hollow and shallow, it must be between the lungs, and it has reached the point of dying." Hearing the host's cough, Fengsha thought to himself again, and sighed involuntarily. tone. Xiao Yiqing twirled a glass of light green wine with her right hand, and said calmly, "There is news from Gansu that Tianlong Village has been breached, Xu Panlong has been captured, and the rest will be killed or surrendered." "This is also inevitable," Ah Jing sat on the couch next to him, and said calmly, "I wonder if there is any news from the Dongting Water Gang?" "Since Twelve Water Villages have broken through Eight Villages, the rest is just around the corner." Xiao Yiqing also said indifferently.Suddenly, he coughed a few times, turned his eyes from the woman in scarlet clothes to the sky outside the window, and said slowly: "I went to Dongting, and I met someone." "Who?" Ah Jing asked inadvertently, but in his heart he thought that Fengsha was outside the door, and it must be wrong for Xiao Yiqing to find out, he must end today's conversation as soon as possible and let him leave the secret room. She was thinking about it, but she never saw Xiao Yiqing staring at her, his eyes fluctuating.After a long time, he answered word by word like a sigh: "Qiu Huyu." Ah Jing couldn't help but let out a soft cry, and raised his head, but he saw Xiao Yi's unpredictable, happy and angry eyes. She immediately calmed down as before, and said lightly: "The Wind and Rain Organization is also a big force, and I'm afraid it can't be moved now." "I know. Even if I can move, I have to think twice before acting." Xiao Yiqing sighed, took a sip of wine, stared at the wine glass in her hand, clenched it lightly, and said indifferently, "If I kill him, you ...Are you willing to give up with me?" There was a tremor suddenly in his usually joyless and angerless voice. At this moment, Fengsha outside the door only felt that this lofty Young Master Xiao was a bit pitiful. Ah Jing didn't speak for a long time before saying: "You should also go back and rest." Xiao Yiqing nodded, stood up as well, walked a few steps, then suddenly turned around, as if she had made up her mind, and said to the woman in scarlet clothes: "I came this time to tell you that I have decided: from next month, Will consider taking over Shenshui Palace." "What?" Ah Jing was startled, "So fast?...why?" "How long has it been since you and I have been hurt? Since becoming the lord of the upstairs, I'm afraid no one will be able to hurt us for a year?" As if recalling an irrelevant past, Xiao Yiqing's voice was indifferent, but Staring at Ah Jing's hands with blood scabs still on them, his eyes became terribly cold in an instant! "Shenshui Palace... Shenshui Palace. What a brave man!" Ah Jing clenched his hands lightly, and asked after a long while: "Shenshui Palace is backed by Daba Mountain and fronted by Shuijing Lake. Send people out easily." "I'm not in a momentary mood, Ah Jing..." Smiling, Xiao Yiqing got up slowly, walked to the side of the mountain and river picture, pointed to a place and said, "Shenshui Palace is here, and Shuijing Lake is in front of it. The upper reaches of the lake are The tributary of the Minjiang River, if you want to attack the Shenshui Palace, you can only start from here." Ah Jing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "How do I get it?" Suddenly, an extremely cold murderous aura flashed across Xiao Yi's eyes! Fengsha saw the expression in his eyes through the crystal, and immediately remembered Gao Huan's expression that day, and couldn't help but shudder. With a flick of Xiao Yiqing's wrist, half a glass of fine wine was poured into the "river".Seeing the light blue wine flooding the small palace model, he smiled slightly, and said word by word in an extremely gentle and cruel tone: "Blow up the upstream dam and let the water flood the Shenshui Palace!" As soon as these words came out, Ah Jing inside the room and Feng Sha outside the room were startled. Caressing the Xuewei sword in her sleeve, the indifferent eyes of the woman in scarlet clothes had a light that flickered, and after a long time, she finally said slowly: "It's a good plan - but in this way, not only Shenshui Palace will not be spared, but the people along the river will also be spared." It's inevitable..." "I know, I will take care of the aftermath, don't worry." Xiao Yiqing said lightly, "I have handed over this matter to Xiao Gao, and there will be results in a few days." He got up and wanted to leave, but finally couldn't help asking: "That woman named Ye Fengsha...you seem to have put a lot of thought into her. Why?" Ah Jing didn't look at him, she just lowered her head and thought for a long time before smiling slightly: "I don't know either...just... I envy her." "Envy?" Xiao Yiqing was also slightly taken aback, couldn't help but stop her walking steps, turned her head to look at the woman in scarlet clothes, her eyes that were as cold as water behind her veil, her gaze was changing erratically. Ah Jing pondered for a while, and with a wry smile, she looked at the sky: "Kindness, firmness, and self-reliance—although I can't do it myself, I have always respected people with such qualities..." She turned her head and glanced at the owner of Tingxuelou, and found that the young man's eyes were also slightly melancholy, so she continued to smile: "It's strange, sir? Shu Jingrong... is actually not as poisonous as you imagined." No invasion, not a good subordinate." "I understand." Xiao Yiqing nodded slightly, but said seriously, "Even if you have weaknesses, but—Ah Jing is Ah Jing, there was no such thing before, and there will never be one in the future. There is only one yourself in all countries throughout the ages. You have to remember that for Tingxuelou and for me, even if you are like this, you are still irreplaceable." Long after Xiao Yiqing left, Ah Jing was still sitting on the couch in a daze, his eyes wandering. "Miss Jing." Finally unable to bear it anymore, Fengsha gently pushed the door, calling out in a low voice.The woman in scarlet clothes was startled suddenly, came back to her senses, and went to open the door for her. Feng Sha stepped into the secret room again, not knowing what to say. After a long time, he finally said, "I overheard about your gang...will you kill me? Otherwise, how can I explain to Master Xiao?" Looking at the woman in Tsing Yi, Ah Jing just smiled faintly: "Do you think... the landlord can't notice you are there? If he doesn't point out, then it's okay." She nodded slightly, and said: "Since you want to attack God Shuigong... your wish has come true, congratulations." Fengsha smiled wryly: "It's just the light of the mood changes of you great people... After all, it can only be these high-ranking people." She looked at the two doors and said hesitantly: "The place I hid just now is..." "Behind this door is my bedroom." Ah Jing interrupted, his face still only indifferent, "This secret room is directly connected to the room of the host and I, which is convenient for daily discussions. The host is not in good health, and sometimes it is late at night. I will also get sick, and it is easy to take care of.” Feng Sha nodded, looking at the calm watery eyes behind the veil of the woman in scarlet clothes, and the usual indifference in her eyes, she couldn't help asking: "There are rumors in the world that you, you... are mutual admiration, right? " She regretted the words as soon as she uttered them, but Ah Jing didn't care. Instead, she laughed sarcastically: "There are dragons and phoenixes among people, don't you? I've also heard such silly rumors—what do those people know?" Looking at the yellowing leaves outside the window, Tingxuelou's female lord's eyes were indifferent and blurred, like ice and snow: "He and I... The matter between us is something other people can't understand. A person like him, in fact I don't care about everything outside of me..." "Maybe. I just saw that he was preparing to attack Shenshui Palace. His decisive and vicious methods really made people shudder." Fengsha murmured, then raised his head again, as if after a long period of thinking, looking at The scarlet-clothed woman in front of her said seriously, "But I think...he has deep feelings for you, and behaves like a general who swallows mountains and rivers. He pays equal attention to the kindness and power of his opponents, and is strict with himself. He and you... are really good. It seems like you are not a mortal, like, like a heavenly being... No wonder people outside say that you are dragons and phoenixes among human beings." "Dragon and phoenix among people, dragon and phoenix among people... Ha." Ah Jing just sneered indifferently without saying a word, but there was an extremely complicated expression change in his eyes.As if to end this boring topic, she stood up, looked back at Fengsha lightly, and said, "Didn't you ask me why I brought you here? Yes, I want you to see some Things... come with me." Listen to the interior of Xuelou Bailou.Extremely complicated fork, almost no window to see the outside scenery.Fengsha just followed Ah Jing for a while, and had completely lost his original sense of direction, so he could only silently follow the woman in scarlet clothes in front of him. Arriving at an entrance, Ah Jing pulled down a mechanism and walked into the wall through the opened secret door.Feng Sha knew it was inconvenient to ask more questions, so she quietly followed her. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ah Jing stopped and said lightly, "Look." There are secret peepholes in the walls of the passage, which can see through the indoor activities.Peeping out of the hole, what is displayed in front of you is already an extremely wide hall, with swords and swords scattered all over the walls, and dried blood stains faintly splashed.And the atmosphere was even more chilling, making people breathless. There are people in the room, in groups of three or five, sitting or standing, in a corner everywhere, separated by heavy curtains, never mixed.Each holds a weapon in his hand, or sits quietly and thinks, or competes in pairs.The fierceness of the attack and the insidiousness of the moves are almost instant death for those who hit it.Occasionally, someone missed a move, was seriously injured, and did not make a sound. Someone helped him out, and another person came in after a while. Fengsha peeked into the room through the small hole in the wall, and suddenly saw a black-clothed boy on the opposite side who had just knocked down a companion, wiped the blood-stained sword on his sleeve, and suddenly turned towards her. After taking a look, his gaze suddenly became as cold as ice and snow.She couldn't help but let out an "ah", and immediately remembered Gao Huan's gaze—— So indifferent and cold, as if cast out of the same mold! "This is the place where we listen to and train the Chuhua Xiaozhu killers under Xuelou." Suddenly, Ah Jing's voice slowly rang in his ears.Calm, indifferent, without a trace of emotion.Although it was separated by a wall, in front of her subordinates, she unintentionally showed her usual majesty. She led Fengsha forward among the walls, and said lightly: "This secret passage was built to allow the leaders in the building to check the training situation at any time. On weekdays, Shi Yu, Jiang Lang and I often come here." Walking through another room, Ah Jing stopped and looked outside the wall.There were long wooden boards in the room, and rows of teenagers in black clothes were standing by the boards, eating while standing.The food was very simple, only a big bowl of rice and one dish, but everyone looked respectful and serious, as if it was a godsend. Everyone ate very quickly without leaving a grain of rice, even the hard rice on the edge of the bowl was eaten up one by one.In such a large room, dozens of people ate without making a sound, not even the sound of chopsticks hitting bowls. "Ah, what are these?" Fengsha couldn't help exclaiming for the first time when his eyes swept away again.She saw that the killers who were eating brought an animal with them, such as a cat or a dog, or snakes and insects, which seemed to have been kept for many days and got along very well.Many people set aside a portion to feed them when eating, which is obviously very pampering.She looked at Ah Jing suspiciously, not knowing why these killers kept livestock and playthings. "Oh...Of course we have to feed those things well—they will taste better if they are well fed." Ah Jing said lightly.Fengsha was taken aback, and murmured: "So... was it raised for food? What a pity..." Ah Jing smiled lightly, and his tone suddenly turned stern like a knife: "No, for those people, that is their only companion! They have been raising these little things for more than a year. After training on weekdays, they travel with each other in the same room, and even eat a A bowl of rice, a bed to sleep in. But the ultimate purpose of raising it is to kill it with their own hands! Once the training is over, at the final banquet, the building stipulates that they must kill it with their own hands and cook it. Eat it." Turning her head, the woman in scarlet clothes looked at Fengsha's surprised gaze, and couldn't help smiling—Fengsha seemed to feel that her smile was also indescribably cruel and indifferent, and she seemed no different from Gao Huan and Xiao Yiqing! "They are very lonely and difficult, so raising an animal can be a companion. But——as a killer, you must not have feelings for anything! So although they get along with animals day and night, they must always prevent themselves from feeling attached to them. Attachment, so as not to be unable to do so at that time." Ah Jing smiled softly, "If they don't want to die...then don't have feelings for anything." "I understand." Fengsha said suddenly, his tone turned into a deep pain, "Try to temper their physical fitness and martial arts, and at the same time torture their emotions repeatedly until all their instincts are wiped out. In this way, your killers will be trained successfully. It's... isn't it?" Ah Jing brushed her hair lightly and smiled: "That's right. Although there are some killer organizations that specialize in assassination and sniping—such as the Wind and Rain Organization—the reputation is far above Tingxuelou. But the number of killers we have trained is not many. , but no less than anyone else.” However, looking at the young men inside, Ting Xuelou's female lord's eyes did not show the slightest pride, instead she sighed. So... Gao Huan also trained like this? Fengsha wanted to ask, but when she thought of this name, she couldn't help feeling a sense of hatred and sadness in her heart. Although everything here reminded her of him, for some reason, she didn't want to mention this person in front of Ah Jing again. . Seeing that the woman beside him stopped talking, Ah Jing continued: "Just like other places, the punishment for killers who cannot complete the task after returning to the building is ten million times worse than death... so our killers, no matter with them Whoever gets along will never give birth to the slightest emotion." She stared at Fengsha with clear eyes, which seemed to imply a deep meaning. Under such cold gaze, Fengsha gradually lowered his head, not knowing what it was like. At this time, through the small hole in the wall, she saw a small room outside the secret passage.The room was dark and damp, and a huge cauldron was blazing with flames.There seemed to be someone sitting in the shadow in the northwest corner of the room, and there were more than a dozen other teenagers standing beside the fire with their hands down, each with a burden in their right hand. Through the wall, even the wind and sand could feel the suffocating heat and oppression. Just as she turned her eyes away from the small hole, she heard the person sitting in the dark suddenly say coldly: "You guys! Are all tasks completed?" As soon as that cold voice fell, all the teenagers knelt down on one knee, untied the cloth bag in their right hands, and held it up to their eyebrows: "You have fulfilled your mission, please have a look at the altar master!" head! After staring at the crowd for a week, the altar master who was sitting in the dark waved his hand and told everyone to get up: "Very good, each of you will get a thousand taels of silver and rest for half a month. Throw the heads into the fire and burn them!" His voice was cold and flat, as if it wasn't a human voice.At this time, he suddenly sneered: "Li Min, why did you come back empty-handed?" Everyone had stood up at this time, only a black-clothed killer was still kneeling on the ground, and he was the only one who came in with his right hand empty. of! Fengsha saw the killer named "Li Min", who was only around twenty-four, with sword eyebrows and star eyes. Although he knew that he had not completed the task, his expression was still very calm: "This subordinate is incompetent. He didn't kill the Liu family. Please forgive the altar master." His voice was as cold and cold as other killers, but there was still a hint of warmth. "Sin? It's easy for you to say it." The altar master sneered, like gold and iron striking each other, "Do you know what crime it is that you can't complete the task?" "This subordinate knows." Li Min bowed his head, but his voice trembled a little, "This subordinate is willing to be punished." "Very good, you are very stubborn." The altar master said coldly. In the secret passage, Fengsha couldn't help turning his head, and asked: "You, are you really going to kill him? Didn't complete the task... really must die?" Seeing the unbearable and sad look in the eyes of the woman in Tsing Yi, Ah Jing He said indifferently: "It would be good if he could calmly control himself—" Her voice was as cold as ice and snow: "But it seems... this person has other secrets, and maybe he can't even die." As soon as she finished speaking, the altar master smiled coldly in the cold darkness, and said word by word: "Li Min, don't rush to die first... I'll tell you to look at someone first." He patted his hands lightly, and the door was closed. push away.Two killers dragged a man in through the door. Seeing the captured person, Li Min's gaze suddenly changed, and even his stone-like body trembled violently. The man was dying when he was dragged in from the door, covered in blood, and seemed to have been tortured inhumanly.When Fengsha saw the person on the ground raised his head, he couldn't help exclaiming, and saw that although the person's face was covered with blood, he had picturesque features, and he was a young beauty. "Qingqing!" Li Min couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed over with one step, trying to help her up from the ground.There was a flash of cold light, and the two assassins on the left and right drew their knives to block him.The girl named Qingqing shook her body, slowly raised her head from the pool of blood, looked at Li Min, her gaze was as sharp as a sword. "You, you killed my parents! Li Min... We treated you like that, but you actually, did you listen to the spies sent by Xuelou?" Qingqing suddenly yelled like crazy, struggling to rush over, "It was you who gave the information to Tingxuelou after you went back! Isn't that right? Otherwise, otherwise... why did they enter the mansion so easily and kill everyone! ——You, you killers are not human!" She was struggling crazily, and the person next to her unceremoniously hit her on the back of the neck, causing her to collapse on the ground. Li Min was stunned, his eyes gradually filled with despair. "Li Min, have you seen it? You can't save anyone...you can't save anyone at all! Do you think you can die?" The altar master said coldly in the shadows, "You are not afraid of death, Very stubborn. But now I have killed all nineteen people in the Liu Mansion, and I have captured Liu Qingqing, I just want to convince you." Seeing his subordinate's pale as death face, the altar master said solemnly: "It's one thing not to complete the task, but it's another thing to release the prisoner privately. Li Min, you have committed such a serious crime, what else can you say?" The altar master smiled coldly again, looking at the semi-conscious Liu Qingqing, wondering what kind of expression he had on his face in the dark.He only knew that after a while, he said again: "If you are willing to kill her with your own hands to show your repentance, you will be saved from death. You are also considered outstanding among the crowd, and I can give you one more chance - kill her So what? Anyway, she already hates you, so let's make it a little bit more thorough!" Li Min slowly drew his sword and looked at Liu Qingqing in the pool of blood, with complicated and painful expressions in his eyes. Fengsha caught a glimpse of his eyes at the moment, and somehow his heart skipped a beat!She vaguely recalled that when she presented Gao Huan with that lock of long hair, she also saw almost the same expression in his eyes! She seemed to have a little understanding of his mood at that time, and also seemed to have a little understanding of this unpredictable person. Ah Jing watched the change in her eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.For this woman, if she doesn't experience it herself, how can she understand it? At this moment, Li Min withdrew his sword suddenly, knelt down to the altar master, and said decisively: "Altar master, please punish the subordinates!" Seemingly taken aback, the altar master asked coldly: "Aren't you afraid of the three hundred and sixty-seven Ling Chi torture? It only takes one sword to kill her, but you have to suffer three hundred and sixty-seven knives!"——I don't understand , think about it carefully." Li Min raised his head suddenly, his eyes were no longer as cold and indifferent as before, as if a volcano erupted! "Altar Master, you don't understand that there is indeed something in this world that can make people die without regret!" He suddenly looked up at the upper level, his voice was trembling, as if shouting, "You can kill as much as you want!" Me, like trampling an ant to death, and then find someone to replace me...but you will never understand why!" "Shut up!" As if irritated by his subordinate's loss of control, the altar master suddenly shouted in the dark, and his voice trembled uncontrollably! "Shut up!—I understand! I understand even better than you!" For a moment, everyone was shocked and looked at each other.Even Li Min calmed down from his rage, looking at the altar master in the dark. The altar master seemed to know that he had made a slip of the tongue. After a while, he resumed his usual tone of neither joy nor anger, and said coldly: "Then, I have to follow the rules. Take your token, saber, and everything else." Hand it back...then, go to Master Huang Quan to receive the punishment." He waved his hand, pointed at the dying woman on the ground, and said to the two killers: "This woman is useless, drag her down!" Li Min looked down at her, with unconcealable sadness and affection in his eyes.He only glanced at Liu Qingqing, then turned his head away.But at this moment, Fengsha saw the unstoppable affection and despair in his eyes. The two killers were about to drag Liu Qingqing out, when Liu Qingqing, who had been in a semi-conscious state, suddenly bit the hand of one of them, and said hoarsely: "Li Min, you killed my whole family, I will never let you go! You executioner!" She struggled, and said with a miserable smile: "I want to kill you, I want to kill you!" She staggered and rushed to him, bleeding all over the ground. Feng Sha couldn't bear to look at it, and slowly moved his eyes away from the small hole.He sacrificed everything for her, but she regarded him as a murderer! "Don't do this. Training killers, such things happen every year." Ah Jing still said indifferently, "Do you know what Jianghu is? It's like this-not just listening to Xuelou, those organizations that want to gain power, Nothing else." "That altar owner is really hard-hearted, can't he let them live?" Somewhat aggrieved, Fengsha asked angrily. Ah Jing smiled slowly, and said calmly: "He also came here a few years ago." She looked at Feng Sha, and said in a serious tone, "Besides, if he doesn't do this, people at a higher level will punish him .” At this time, there was only a scream of "ah" in the room, followed by an exclamation of "ah!"! Fengsha hurriedly looked into the room, and after seeing it, as if struck by lightning, he lost his voice: "She's dead!" The normally calm girl's voice trembled violently for a moment. She grabbed Ah Jing's sleeve and said tremblingly, "She's dead!" There was a rare look of surprise on Ah Jing's face, she bent down and looked inside.The scene in the room was very strange. Liu Qingqing, who had just rushed to kill Li Min, had been pierced through the chest by a sword—but Liu Qingqing held Li Min's right hand holding the sword with both hands, and it seemed that the whole person rushed to the edge of the sword. . Li Min looked at her with shocked and wild eyes. "Qingqing, you, you, what are you doing?" Li Min asked in disbelief, almost screaming, threw the sword, and hugged her body that was slowly losing its vitality. Liu Qingqing's blood-stained face was unexpectedly pale and beautiful at this moment. She held his hand tightly and smiled slowly: "I... I actually... don't hate you at all, really, I know... Your difficulties. You... treated our family... very well." Panting, she stared at him with bright eyes without blinking, her eyes were full of affection: "But... I don't want you to die. Now... kill me with your own hands now, then you can... live a good life... just... ...please never, ever again...to be controlled by them..." Across the wall, Fengsha stood blankly, staring blankly ahead. After a long time, she turned her head in a daze and looked at the woman in scarlet beside her. As if stunned by the last unexpected action of Qingqing, there was also a complicated look in the eyes behind the veil. Fengsha suddenly laughed softly, smiled, and looked at her: "Are you happy? Your training... This is your training!" Press the switch and walk into the room from the dark wall. Everyone in the room was shocked, and immediately knelt down: "Greetings, Miss Jing!" Ah Jing walked into the room, but didn't look at his subordinates, but turned to look at the killer on the ground, watching him hugging his blood-soaked lover, crying bitterly.Those were the tears of a killer... Even the lord of Tingxuelou's eyes were slightly saddened, and he remained silent. Suddenly, Li Min exclaimed: "Qingqing!" Fengsha hurried over, checked her breath, his complexion changed, looked up at the woman in scarlet clothes, and said tremblingly: "She...she is dead!" It was a slight sigh, but Ah Jing still didn't speak. Fengsha's tears finally welled up in her eyes, and she repeated in a low voice: "She's dead? She's dead. She's dead!..." The anger in her eyes deepened, and she turned her head angrily and hissed into the shadows: "Yes! You...why did you force her to death!" "Yes, I forced her to death." The altar master replied indifferently, walked out of the shadow in the corner of the room slowly, looked up at her, and asked indifferently, "Then... what can you do?" Fengsha was stunned for a moment, and took a few steps back before making a sound: "Gao Huan!" Gao Huan!这个从阴暗之中缓步而出、冷酷而残忍的坛主，正是高欢！ 风砂怔怔地看着他，嘴唇微微颤抖，却一个字也说不出来，只一步步慢慢往后退。这一个多月以来，她自己虽不承认，可内心深处依然是下意识地盼望再见到他，可如今……这一次猝然的相见，却是在这样的情况之下！ 这时，一边的李珉已横抱着柳青青的尸体站了起来。血从恋人的胸膛中直淌下来，染红了他半边身子。他神色木然的走过来，根本没有留意到身边的人，连眼神似乎都已痴呆。 “你所爱的人的血……温暖么？”在李珉经过身侧的时候，阿靖忽然淡漠的微笑着，低低问了一句，眉目间不知是何种神色，只觉有依稀的寒意，锋利如刺。 甚至连听雪楼女领主的话都不曾入耳，李珉漠然的抱着柳青青的尸体，走过阿靖身侧，根本没有想起她袖中那把沾血千万的绯红色利剑。这个吹花小筑里的杀手，只是怔怔的、毫不迟疑的走向门边。 他要离去——他居然就这样剑都不拿的、直接要走出吹花小筑！ 冷漠的光芒闪过高欢的眼睛，想也不想，作为坛主的他举起了手，手指一弹，闪着寒芒的暗器破空而出，直取意欲叛离的人的后心——没有人，没有人能够轻易背离听雪楼！ 然而，在掠过绯衣女子身侧、射向李珉时，那枚死亡的暗器，忽然偏离了方向，夺的一声钉在了门框上。李珉连头都不回，茫然的往前。 “让他走。”手指只是微微动了动，阿靖下令。脸上没有丝毫表情，看着那个抱着死去恋人的下属、失神的走出门去，淡淡吩咐，“其他人都出去。” 所有下属都退了下去，门合上之后，房中只剩下三个人。 风砂的目光从那一刻起，就没有从高欢脸上移开过。始终说不出一句话，她只是下意识的一步步往后退，已到了暗道门边。在她退回秘道之前，阿靖目光一动，反手拉住了她。 “很好。今天，我给你们最后一次机会……把话好好地说清楚。”阿靖语气平静而断然，没有丝毫的悲喜起伏，只是看着眼前的青衣女子和同样漠然的得力下属，淡淡道，“不管怎样，来做个了断吧。” “是。”对于领主的命令，高欢只是漠然的回答了一句，便站在原地，不再试图离去。 看着眼前忽然变得完全陌生的人，风砂嘴唇颤动着，许久终于挣扎着吐出了一句话—— “高欢，你简直不是人！” 高欢只是静静地看着她，不曾开口。听到了这句话，眼中却反而蓦然有轻松的神色，嘴角浮出了一丝淡漠笑意，一字字回答：“说的对。”回答了这三个字以后，他转向阿靖，恭声道：“靖姑娘，话已说清楚了。属下告退。” 他缓缓转身，目光始终没有半丝波动。 “今天的一切，也是七年之前小高所经历过的……你莫要以为，他不懂得李珉的心情和感受。”始终不动声色的阿靖蓦然开口，淡淡对一边的风砂道，风砂一惊，抬眼看着高欢，却发现第一次，那个人避开了她的目光。 阿靖的眼睛一直只看着空气，漠无表情：“正因为懂得，所以才无情。” 高欢的双手用力握紧，双肩微微发抖，显然这几句话已直刺入他的心里。 “我带你来听雪楼，就是让你明白他为什么会变成这个样子，”阿靖注视着风砂的眼睛，一字字道，“叶姑娘，你和我们不是同一类人，不奢求你能原谅什么……但是，至少希望你能了解这样的生活，然后，再决定是否恨他。” 风砂虽没开口，可目中已有泪水缓缓溢出。 阿靖轻轻拍拍风砂的肩，面纱后的眼睛却微微波动了一下：“还有什么话，你们好好说完想说的话——离开这间房间，你们……就是从未相识的陌生人。”轻轻叹息了一声，绯衣女子掠入了暗道。 在暗门合上之时，她听到风砂的哭声象水一样荡漾开来。
