Chapter 7 Chapter Six

Ah Jing's face was covered with light veil, she sat quietly in the secret room and waited for Xiao Yiqing. "What's wrong with you today, you let Li Min go!" Xiao Yiqing pushed open the door, contrary to usual, the first sentence was a sharp reproach, "Do you know that if he falls into the hands of the Wind and Rain Organization or the Tianyi Society, he will be attacked by the people in the building?" Great disadvantage!" "I know." Ah Jing said calmly, her watery eyes lifted slightly from under the veil, and stared at Xiao Yiqing.Xiao Yiqing frowned, and an expression appeared between her eyebrows. He sat down opposite her, calmed down, and asked, "Then what's wrong with you? Are you confused?"

"It's not good to be too sober all the time. One will be confused several times in one's life." Ah Jing still said quietly. Xiao Yiqing smiled coldly, his pale and handsome face was already angry, and even his usually gentle and calm voice became aggressive: "Fortunately, I am not confused - I discovered it early, and I have sent someone to rush to retrieve it. Li Min's head, otherwise, there will be a big mistake!" Ah Jing's sitting body trembled in vain, her fingers suddenly pinched into the palm of her hand forcefully, her eyes lit up like lightning in an instant, she stared at Xiao Yiqing through the veil, and asked word by word: "Did you kill Li Min?"

"That's right," Xiao Yiqing said coldly, "So what?" Ah Jing stared at him, the cold light and murderous look in his eyes was shocking.Xiao Yiqing just sneered, bent down, gently lifted the veil from her face, looked at her, and suddenly asked coldly: "Can you stop me from killing him?" Ah Jing looked at him without saying a word, his eyes fluctuated, and suddenly there was an unpredictable sneer on his lips. Xiao Yiqing also looked at her without saying a word, but her eyes gradually softened, she sighed a long time, and stood up with her hands behind her back: "I know I hurt your heart by doing this—don't blame me for being unkind—back then Have you forgotten about Lei Chuyun?"

Mentioning this name again, subconsciously, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.He drank too fast, and heard that Xue Louzhu coughed, and it took a long time for him to stop.Hastily took out a snow-white silk scarf from her arms and wiped the corner of her mouth, the silk scarf was immediately dyed red! The face of the woman in scarlet clothes changed slightly, she got up and walked over quickly, drew the heavy curtains, turned on the stove, snatched the wine glass from Tingxue Lord's hand, and threw it into the corner: "Doctor Mo is not Did you say you can’t drink anymore? While seeking medical treatment, you ruined your body at the same time... Do you really want to live?"

Although he tried his best to keep his voice down, his anxiety and anger still came out involuntarily. Xiao Yiqing coughed until her cheeks turned red, her shoulders twitched uncontrollably, as if she was about to cough out her lungs.After a long time, he calmed down and smiled wryly: "Sometimes... I do think, it's really better to just die like this..." "Death is a one-and-done thing—it's a pity that your life and death are no longer your business alone." With a slight sneer, Ah Jing turned the purple gold hand stove into his hands, "You are dead, Ting Xuelou will go down ten thousand What about the rest?"

Xiao Yi paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and finally asked: "Just now, what did you want to say, Ah Jing?" Ah Jing pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Let's talk about it another day, today is not suitable." "Why?" Xiao Yiqing was a little strange, "Is there anything worth making you hesitate like this?" Ah Jing hesitated for a moment, then said slowly: "I want to beg you to set Gao Huan free and let him follow Fengsha." Xiao Yiqing's face immediately changed, and her eyes became sharp again: "You said to let Gao Huan go? He is at the peak right now, leading the killer organization of Chuihua Xiaozhu, and he can serve me for at least five years... How dare you do it for me? An unknown woman outside the building, asking me to let go of such a talented person?" His gaze was fixed on Ah Jing like a sharp sword.

"Ren Feiyang is very good. After training, he can completely replace Gao Huan." Ah Jing kept looking at him, and said softly: "It's rare for me to like someone so much—Fengsha, that girl, after her body, I can even see what I should have been like..." "I don't want her hands to be stained with blood, and I don't want her to be unhappy forever." The female lord of Tingxuelou suddenly lowered her head and sighed, "Lord Xiao, how many people have we killed under our hands? How much blood has been passed? Such a deep sin..." Her hand was already trembling slightly in Xiao Yiqing's palm, just like her voice: "Back then, I knew that I had committed an unforgivable crime when I killed Lei's family in Thunder Mart; in the following years, I followed you to fight everywhere, killing people like hemp, The blood flowed like a river, and he knew that he would go to hell after death. What's more, during the battle of the Moon Worship Sect..."

At this point, she paused and stopped talking. But Xiao Yiqing's gaze changed again, and he murmured in a low voice: "Moon Worship, Moon Worship..." His expression was already in a daze, such words were a tacitly avoided topic between the two of them.Jia Ruo, Jia Ruo... But in a trance, he still saw the fire burning on the lake, the bright moon in the fire, and the storm in the holy lake... Cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he couldn't help but clenched Ah Jing's hand, coughing violently stand up.His eyes rested on the worn-out amulet on her neck, and his expression suddenly shook—the deep and earnest obsession still stayed there.

Following his gaze, Ah Jing subconsciously returned his hand and touched the amulet.In an instant, it was as if lightning illuminated her heart. The normally indifferent and proud woman suddenly had faint tears in her eyes, and she stopped talking. Seeing the tears in her eyes, Xiao Yiqing felt a sudden chill in her heart, feeling a cold current rising slowly, which made her heart half gray. He was arrogant and autocratic by nature, and looked down on the world from a position of power throughout his life, but the terminal illness he suffered from made him face death every day, so his personality was deeply split in two!

He values ​​power and kills, but he is afraid of death; he is ruthless and ruthless, and he is extremely rational, but on the other hand he is extremely empty and lonely, with a fragile heart; He is constantly looking for someone who can treat him as an equal... This split personality makes him unpredictable. However, in this world, there will always be two words that hurt his heart all the time. Jia Ruo. The past events in southern Yunnan flashed back and forth one after another.Xiao Yiqing looked at Ah Jing, her natural arrogance and indifference instantly raised her head, overwhelming everything else, gave her a cold look, stood up and walked out of the secret room without looking back.

"Reporting to the Lord, Master Zuo is here to pay his respects!" "Let him in." Xiao Yiqing slightly raised her hand on the soft bed.Ah Jing was by his side, looking over the documents and letters of each branch one by one.She took out Zuo Ruozhu's letter, glanced at it, and said lightly to Xiao Yi, "Zuo Ruozhu returned to the building this time, and brought nine beauties from Jiangnan." At this time, the Zuo Helmsman had already stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: "Greetings to the landlord! My subordinates have completed the establishment of the Yangzhou sub-helm, and my subordinates have also brought back nine women to serve as servants in the building." Xiao Yiqing took the list from Ah Jing, looked at it, but remained calm: "You must know that there has never been such a precedent in the building, and I heard that Xuelou has become the most powerful force in the world, so we must pay attention to comforting the people. How can you entertain yourself with sensuality?" Zuo Ruozhu looked a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "Your subordinates saw that their family was poor and unable to support them, so they bought it with money. They didn't plunder the women of the people...and...and the landlord's position is high and lonely, so..." He Glancing at Ah Jing, he dared not speak further. Even his subordinates could see his loneliness—a gloomy look flashed across Xiao Yiqing's eyes, and she stopped questioning: "You go back first." He smiled at Ah Jing: "There are many affairs in the building, thank you for your hard work." For some reason, when Ah Jing saw his smile, she felt uneasy in her heart - because when he smiled, his eyes didn't smile either!It was still cold ice and snow! There was suddenly an unspeakable gap between her and him.For the first time, she felt that there was a force that gradually opened the distance between them.He still trusted and cared for himself, but he extracted real emotion from every movement. "Leader Zuo is lucky this time, he brought nine beauties and the host left one of them behind!" "Really? Unexpectedly. The host didn't seem to be very interested in beautiful women before!" "So the left rudder is lucky this time!" "But...it's strange, the host is not Miss Hejing..." "God knows what's wrong with them! Can't you see that something is wrong with both of them these days?" "Actually, it's been a bit weird since I came back from the Moon Worship Sect last time." "Oh... I don't understand the matter between them big men! But to tell you the truth, although the world is big, I think only Miss Jing is worthy of being the host! There is a dragon and a phoenix among people, the love between heaven and man... there is no such thing as outside. Do you all say that?" "Oh, don't mention it...they are arguing, that's what no one in the world can persuade." Sitting in the shade of the flowers, Fengsha listened to the words of the people passing by intermittently, and his heart sank. "Ah Jing, is it because of Gao Huan and me that you and Mr. Xiao are in trouble?" Feng Sha returned to Ah Jing's room and asked.Ah Jing, who was reading the documents, looked up and smiled, "How come?" But Fengsha could clearly see that her bright face was quite haggard.She couldn't help but softly said: "Ah Jing, you are two years older than me, you should be my sister, but I have a few words to tell you..." Before she could continue, Ah Jing stopped her: "Stop talking, you don't know the inside story—it's true, there are some issues between me and him that have not been resolved, but it's none of Xiao Gao's and your business... between us There are too many things that cannot be understood by each other, so that today, there is such a gap." As if she didn't want to go any further, she changed the subject and asked, "Have you seen Xiao Gao these days?" Fengsha's face became slightly hot, and he said softly: "I saw him once the day before yesterday... But since yesterday, I went to see him again and he was gone. They said... Mr. Xiao transferred him." Ah Jing was stunned for a moment, and Yanshuang gradually appeared in his eyes, "I'll go and talk to him." Unable to be dissuaded by the wind and sand, Ah Jing turned and entered the secret room, and then heard the sound of the opening in the room getting louder and louder, and it seemed that both sides were a little out of control.Knowing that the two sides were arguing for her again, Fengsha felt very sorry, and didn't want to make Ah Jing feel embarrassed after she came out, so she quietly retreated first. Ah Jing coldly glanced at the shivering beauty in white beside Xiao Yiqing, and asked in a stern tone: "Then, the landlord, are you determined not to let Gao Huan go?" Xiao Yiqing leaned on the soft couch, without looking at her, just Looking at the rainy sky outside the window, he said lightly: "—I don't let him kill Ye Fengsha, it's for your sake." Ah Jing's eyes froze in an instant, and without saying a word, she turned around and left. When she walked out of the secret room, Xiao Yiqing suddenly smiled, but the smile was quite desolate and bitter.At this time, the beautiful woman in white who had been curled up beside his legs was finally able to speak, and tremblingly said: "This girl... is so fierce!" Xiao Yiqing caressed her long silky hair, and sighed, "Die Wu, dance a Tuozhi dance for me." One of the nine beauties brought back from Yangzhou. Die Wu timidly knelt down and saluted him respectfully, then retreated to the center of the blanket on her knees before standing up, the snow-white gauze enveloped her like a mist.She was only fifteen years old, pure and bright like Jiangnan in March, her eyes always showed a timid expression, like a frightened deer, people couldn't bear to say anything about her. But her dance is ecstasy.The rhythm of the dance is flying between the gestures of the hands and feet, with the beauty of flowing snow returning to the wind. During the dance, I only heard the girl speak, and sang softly: "Jinse has fifty strings for no reason, one string and one column think of the Chinese New Year. Zhuang Shengxiao dreamed of butterflies, Wang Dichun's heart entrusted cuckoos. There are tears in the sea and moon, and the blue sky is full of smoke. .This feeling can be waited...to become a memory, but at that time, I was at a loss!" The singing echoed in the secret room like smoke. Xiao Yiqing sighed imperceptibly, and then smiled slightly: "You sing very well, and you dance very well. What a 'this feeling can be turned into a memory'!" Die Wu was startled, and suddenly understood, knelt down Xia panicked and said: "The little girl has no intention of offending the name of the young master, please forgive me, young master." Xiao Yiqing smiled indifferently, and waved his hands: "It's nothing. My father named me that year in memory of my mother, and he took this line from Yishan's poem. Sigh..." He closed his eyes and sighed, talking to himself : "I was only three or four years old when my mother died." Only then did Diewu pluck up the courage to quietly raise her head to look at the aloof Young Master Xiao, as if to comfort her, she said softly: "The servant has also lost her parents since she was six years old..." She knew she was talking too much , bowed his head hurriedly: "How dare the servants compare with the young master? The young master forgives the sin." Xiao Yiqing opened her eyes and looked at Maiko, and asked, "Are you dead parents too?" Die Wu lowered her head and said timidly: "Master, my father and mother sold the slave to Ziyunfang when the slave was six years old, and taught the slave to sing and dance." "He is also a poor man..." Xiao Yiqing seemed to be quite sentimental tonight, she made an exception and asked so many questions, and said: "Then I will send someone to send you back to Yangzhou, and let you reunite with your family." Die Wu's whole body was shocked, and she threw herself on the ground and tremblingly said: "Thank you for your kindness...but the father of the servant girl is very stubborn, so he sold the servant girl back then to pay off the debt. My son... If the son sends the servant girl back home, within a few months , will be sold again by the father to repay the debt... I beg you, please let me serve you, don't... don't send me back again." Xiao Yiqing was silent for a moment.In the first place, he kept this beauty because the conflict with Ah Jing deepened and he became more lonely, so he wanted to find someone by his side to comfort his loneliness, and he never thought of keeping her for a long time. But while he was pondering, seeing Die Wu kneeling timidly at his knees, her deer-like docile and pure eyes looking at herself with fear and expectation, she couldn't help feeling soft for a moment, and said: "Okay, I will agree." You, let you stay with me." Die Wu's eyes couldn't help showing joy, and she hurriedly thanked her.Because she knew that as soon as the young master uttered these words, her life was guaranteed - but she didn't know that from now on, she would also be imprisoned for the rest of her life! "Didn't you always want to see Ren Feiyang?" Ah Jing drank a sip of tea in the pavilion, and slowly said to Fengsha, "The landlord has been training him in person these days, and I didn't find out about his identity until today. Whereabouts——I will take you to see him in the afternoon." She smiled wryly: "I can't let Xiao Gao go free, but at least I can do this for you." Fengsha is wearing a light blue dress, which is bright and elegant.Hearing Miss Jing's words, her eyes suddenly filled with unspeakable emotion, and after a long time, she lowered her head in the pavilion by the water and said softly: "It's okay, really, I can't be with Gao Huan, I don't care No regrets." She looked up at Ah Jing who was slightly surprised, and said softly: "The important thing is that we both understand each other's thoughts. Even if we can't see each other for a lifetime, we can know for sure that we will remember each other in our hearts until The day you die." She smiled embarrassingly, and said softly: "Miss Jing, I... I don't know how to thank you." Ah Jing didn't answer for a while, she seemed to be shocked by the affection and determination in her words just now, staring blankly at the clear water outside the pavilion, unable to answer a word.This woman, the woman's expression, gaze, tone, and even the deep meaning in her words... She recalled, and suddenly, a few words sounded clearly in her mind—— "You don't understand. There is indeed a relationship between me and him, and you can't imagine how deep this relationship is. Although we have never said it to each other, we both know it in our hearts. " This is what she said.During the civil strife, Tingxuelou was at stake, and when Xiao Yiqing's life and death were uncertain, Lei Chuyun stretched out his hand to her, with that expression on his knife-scarred face, looking at her, waiting for her statement. However, by accident, she said these few words.These few words were so powerful that he finally gave up hope, and made the boss of the Wind and Rain Organization not want to continue to exist as "Lei Chuyun" in his life! Only the boss of the Wind and Rain Organization, Qiu Huyu, the king of killers, is alive in this world!An unknown abnormal relationship has been buried since then. Now, she realizes that the few words she blurted out back then coincided with Fengsha's words! Ah Jing still can't understand why she said such a thing back then... "Miss Jing, what's the matter?" Suddenly, Fengsha asked softly, seeing Ah Jing in a daze for a long time, she finally couldn't help asking.Ah Jing suddenly woke up like a dream, forced a smile and said, "No...it's nothing." She collected herself and sighed, thinking of the current conflict with Xiao Yiqing, her heart was chilled, and she couldn't help being half discouraged.I had no choice but to say to Fengsha: "I will take you to see Ren Feiyang in the afternoon. His injury has already healed, and he has started training recently." Fengsha shook his body slightly, and after a long time, he asked, "How is he?" "The body is very good, but... you also know that people who receive training will not have a good time." Ah Jing said lightly.Feng Sha lowered his head and gently stroked his right hand. There were clear teeth marks on the jade-like back of his hand.Her eyes became very strange again, and tears flickered faintly. "He said he would only join Tingxuelou for one year, right?" "Yes. But let me tell you—as long as he steps into this kind of life, he will stay willingly for the rest of his life and will never leave Tingxuelou." Ah Jing said coldly, "You know the host has the ability— —no one can resist his influence and will!" Fengsha also understands what a terrifying person Xiao Yiqing is.After staying by such a person's side for a year, it's hard to say that Ren Feiyang won't be fascinated and intimidated by him, and become his loyal follower. Her gaze changed, and a trace of sadness and anger that penetrated into the bone marrow passed through her eyes. Ah Jing couldn't help being startled, and asked in a low voice, "You care about him so much?" However, Fengsha didn't say anything.After a long time, she sighed and asked faintly: "You said, if you have made a life-and-death promise with someone, but at the same time you miss another person in your heart-is this a kind of infidelity and betrayal?" Jing concealed what was on her mind, and sighed heavily: "Gao Huan and I understand... But I will never forget that night in the dark room! I will never forget that when death and fear approached, I and him The courage to live and die." She looked up and asked, "Can you understand?" "It is impossible for a person to love only one person in his life." Ah Jing was silent for a long time before saying, "Actually, I wanted Ren Feiyang to join the building because I had my own plan—I was ready to let Xiao Gao go now." But in this way, there will be a vacancy for Chuhua Xiaozhu, and I just want Ren Feiyang to replace Xiao Gao..." Feng Sha was surprised: "That is to say, he also sacrificed indirectly for me and Gao Huan?" Ah Jing nodded: "That's right. To save Gao Huan, someone has to be sacrificed. Stand in this position..." Seeing the tears of Fengsha, she sighed softly, raised her hand to lightly brush her hair, her eyes were as calm as water: " Well, we have gone too far. I will send someone to pick you up in the afternoon to see Ren Feiyang." "Go in by yourself. If you finish talking, just ring my little bell, and someone will take you out." Ah Jing got off the sedan chair beside a waterside pavilion, said to Fengsha, and handed her a small silver bell. Watching her leave, Fengsha was at a loss.There was a gentle breeze on the water pavilion, and lotus flowers were in full bloom. She stood alone on the Jiuqu Bridge, not knowing where to go.Deep in her heart, she was still trying her best to avoid meeting Ren Feiyang again.Because she didn't know how to face him at all—what were they before?What will happen in the future?Thinking of it, there is confusion and helpless despair. Fengsha stood in a daze outside the waterside pavilion, and I don't know how long it had passed——suddenly, a very dazzling white light flashed like lightning! So fierce, so murderous, Fengsha couldn't help taking a step back in shock.But he was stunned in his heart - this sword seemed to have been seen somewhere, with the same murderous aura and the same sharpness. "Shua!" The ground cracked, and after the white light flashed across, the gauze on all sides of the waterside pavilion fell to the ground! "Very good, this move 'Hell Thunder' has finally been practiced." A voice in the water pavilion said every word in a cold and dignified manner. The wind and sand raised their heads.In the empty water pavilion, she saw the dazzling red cloak at a glance. Ren Feiyang. He was looking down at the sword in his hand, constantly vibrating his wrist lightly, trying various strengths and directions.That long black hair still hangs on his shoulders, nothing seems to have changed—it's just that his whole person seems a little strange, so strange that Fengsha didn't dare to call him for a while. Inadvertently, Ren Feiyang finally raised his head and saw the wind and sand outside the water pavilion.He couldn't help but froze. This short moment of staring seems to have passed tens of millions of years. Finally, Fengsha hesitated and whispered: "Ren Feiyang?" Her voice was still tentative and uncertain, but Ren Feiyang responded with a bright smile: "Fengsha, why are you here? Long time no see! " He came out of the water pavilion.For some reason, seeing him approaching, Fengsha subconsciously took a step back. After taking a slight step back, she stood upright.However, this step was taken under such delicate and complicated moods, even she couldn't tell it herself! But Ren Feiyang couldn't stop, and his bright smile disappeared for a while.He didn't come any closer, just smiled a little over ten steps away, and asked, "How are you doing these past ten days?" "It's okay." Fengsha responded lightly, but his eyes dimmed.Ren Feiyang had obviously noticed her momentary withdrawal - but he was not a person who was observant!He has changed, even when he smiles, his eyes are not smiling! "Have you seen Gao Huan?" Ren Feiyang looked at the tear-stained sword in his hand and asked lightly. Fengsha's whole body shook: "I've seen it." Then, she didn't know how to say it—could she say that she had forgiven Gao Huan?Forgiving the man who had lied to them, even nearly killed him? However, Ren Feiyang slowly tightened his fingers on the hilt of the sword, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "I don't hate him very much now. He has his own reasons for doing this, and now I understand—because I also... "He exhaled and stopped talking, but the depression between his brows already explained everything. In an instant, Fengsha's heart was shattered. An inexplicable and profound pain made her almost cry out.She understood that in this life, she would lose him and Gao Huan forever.The hand of fate has ruthlessly separated the three of them into two different worlds.Their life is destined to be full of killings and dangers, and they are indifferent to life; while in the world, she feels the warmth and warmth of human feelings, and cannot see through the world of mortals. Countless chaotic feelings came to my heart, and Fengsha couldn't say a word.Ren Feiyang didn't speak, just looked at her like that, at the sword in his hand.After a long time, suddenly, Fengsha finally said tremblingly: "I will leave here tomorrow and never come back." She finally has a decision. Since she came from a different world and was destined to live a different life, she still pulled back and hurriedly retreated, so why bother to let their hearts not be at peace?For them, feelings are dangerous enough to be fatal—the tragedy of Li Min and Liu Qingqing has made her never forget it! She can take no more risks. Ren Feiyang was startled, but the usual playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You shouldn't stay in this place too long. Gao Huan and I are the ones who are suitable for this place. Let's go." Fengsha didn't say anything anymore, turned around and walked away quickly, while walking, but said softly: "I will remember you in the future, this scar on my hand will make me remember you until I die. Goodbye." Without looking back, he raised his hand and waved it lightly, as if waving goodbye. The curved tooth mark on the back of the hand is clearly visible. Ren Feiyang didn't say or move, he just held the sword in his hand and watched her leave in a hurry.There was a burst of helplessness and pain between his clear brows—this was something he had never felt in the past twenty years a month ago. Everything in this month, compared with the past twenty years, made him experience everything and understand everything.He has really grown up. From a flying and jumping young man, he has grown into a deep and wise Jianghu swordsman.During this month, he has undergone rapid changes, and the pain of transformation is also beyond comprehension for others. Suddenly, he raised his head to the sky and howled!With a howling sound, he swung his sword backhand, and the water pavilion behind him was cut in half by the sword energy! The fiery cloak was raised high, and the long locks of his hair were blown away, but his gaze cooled down sharply in an instant!It was as cold as everlasting ice and snow, covering his normally vibrant eyes. From then on, his heart will also be frozen under the thousand-year glacier. When Fengsha left, no one saw the tears in her eyes, which fell like rain after she turned around.At this moment, she once again felt the heart-piercing pain five years ago—she thought she would never feel such heartache again. "Just tell Miss Jing, I should go too." Inside the sedan chair, Fengsha sighed softly. Twilight has fallen.When Fengsha pushed open the door of Ah Jing's bedroom, she found that she was not in the room.Fengsha was about to leave when he suddenly heard a singing voice coming from the secret room.Women's singing. Ah Jing never sang, so who is the woman in this secret room?Didn't Ah Jing say that only he and Xiao Yiqing can enter this secret room?Fengsha couldn't help but think of the recent private rumors in the building, about the rumors that the landlord had another favored concubine and Xiao Jing's discord. Unknowingly where the courage came from, she resolutely turned around and entered the door, opened the door, and entered the secret room! There was a dance in the room, and Die Wu, dressed in white, leaned over the blanket like a swan, with smooth and shiny black hair covering her entire back.Xiao Yiqing, who was dressed in white fox fur, was lying on a soft couch with a bottle of fine wine in her hand. Seeing her suddenly enter, he remained motionless, but Die Wu on the ground let out a soft exclamation. "Let her go out. Mr. Xiao, I have something to tell you." Feng Sha quietly pointed to Die Wu, and said affectionately to Xiao Yi.The tone cannot be refuted.Only then did Xiao Yiqing raise her head, glanced at her lightly, and said to Die Wu: "You go out first." Die Wu glanced at Feng Sha in surprise, and backed out.She didn't understand that someone dared to speak to the landlord in such an orderly tone, and the landlord obeyed!This girl... seems to be as fierce as Miss Jing. After the door was closed, there were only two people left in the room, and only the fire was burning quietly. "Say it," Xiao Yiqing said, his tone gentle and domineering, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes became more stern and sharp, "If what you said is not worth listening to, why would you say that to me just now?" And pay the price." Feng Sha nodded, sat down opposite him, looked at him directly, and said coldly: "You have tuberculosis, you should not live to be twenty years old." Xiao Yiqing nodded: "Yes. But I am already twenty-four this year." "Then you must have endured quite a lot of pain and paid a huge price to prolong your life." Fengsha said lightly, as a doctor, she knew this well, "and you must be shrouded in pain day and night. Under the shadow of death, lived a precarious life." Xiao Yiqing's expression remained unchanged, but there was a sneer of indifference at the corner of her mouth, she looked out of the window and said indifferently: "It's ridiculous, you are the first person to see me as a poor patient...you are wrong—— I am not afraid of anything, including death." "No! You're afraid, you're afraid of death!" However, before he could continue, Fengsha's tone suddenly changed, and he cut off the words of Master Xue for the second time, "Maybe you weren't afraid before, but After meeting Miss Jing, can you still say that you are not afraid? ——Is it because of this that you dare not face your true feelings? " Xiao Yi's hand shook, and his eyes fell on her face like lightning - in that glance, there was shock, doubt, anger and murderous look!His fingers moved slightly, as if he had grasped the Xiying knife in his sleeve that shocked the world. Fengsha doesn't know martial arts, so naturally he doesn't know that Xiao Yiqing can kill herself on the spot with just a single thought.However, she couldn't help but shiver in her heart, she just felt that she flinched under his cold and confused gaze. "Who asked you to say this? Who allowed you to say this? What is your purpose?" Xiao Yiqing asked coldly. Fengsha took a breath, straightened his waist, and continued: "I really have no right to ask about your affairs. But Miss Jing is my friend, and she once gave Gao Huan and I a chance to explain to each other... So, I also I don't want to make her suffer anymore." She still looked at Xiao Yiqing without blinking, and said without fear: "I'm leaving here tomorrow, I want to have a good talk with Young Master before I leave; so as to eliminate the estrangement and misunderstanding between you two." "Your friend?" Xiao Yiqing seemed unable to bear it, and sneered slightly, "Ah Jing will have friends? Who can be worthy of being her friend... How could she admit that person is her friend?" He smiled indifferently, but his eyes were a little lost, he fixed his eyes on the wine in his hand: "She has always been with me only in a contractual relationship—we are not even friends." "Contract? With Miss Jing, how can a paper contract be able to bind her? If there is something she can't let go of in Tingxuelou, would she have been here to do her best?" Fengsha calmly Asked rhetorically, with an unquestionable tone, "Young Master Xiao, although I don't understand what the concerns are that brought you into this situation, I can say with certainty that you are the only people in this world who are worthy of each other." .” "Really? Everyone says that." Xiao Yiqing sighed, "I said so much, I almost believed it myself..." Fengsha ignored what he said, and there was a force in her heart to support her, so she continued in one breath: "Recently, the young master seems to have a new love, but I also understand that it's just because of loneliness. But Miss Jing's love for the young master Prejudice will accumulate deeper and deeper...and eventually become irreparable. Therefore, I advise you to go to Miss Jing and have a good talk, maybe you will understand each other's true thoughts." Xiao Yiqing did not speak.Eyes wandering and disturbed.But he was clearly not disgusted or malicious.He never talked about this topic with anyone, and he thought it was his eternal pain and taboo.Now that he was boldly and straightforwardly touched by a strange girl, he somehow didn't have any anger or murderous intent, but instead felt a sense of relief. "She hates me... I found out when I ordered Lei Chuyun to be killed. This time I told her that I killed Li Min. Although she didn't say anything, there was hatred in her eyes." Xiao Yiqing said to herself Baan murmured, her face pale, "She never trusted me, never... She loves another person, and that person is irreplaceable." Fengsha didn't know that there were so many secrets between her and him, and he didn't know how to explain it for a moment, but said dully: "Maybe there is another one... But it is impossible for everyone to love only one person in their life." "Really?" Xiao Yiqing smiled and put down her wine glass: "But I am." This time, when he laughed, his indifferent eyes were full of spirit, unlike the usual aloofness. It was a mixture of bitterness, self-pity, and arrogance. For a while, I didn't know what to say.Once she realized that this mighty Mr. Xiao was really pitiful. It was just a moment of weakness, Xiao Yiqing's eyes quickly returned to her usual arrogance and indifference, she twirled the wine glass in her hand, looked at the light blue wine, and said indifferently: "Is that what you want to say?" Fengsha nodded and smiled wryly, and then she admitted that she was too reckless to enlighten this unfathomable person. "Very naive...but I'm still very grateful to you." Xiao Yiqing's eyes showed warmth again, and she smiled a little lonely, "No matter who wants to say such things in front of me, it takes a lot of courage." He paused, then asked again: "Are you leaving tomorrow? So you don't want Tingxue Lou to give Xiao Gao freedom?" Feng Sha nodded, looked up at him suddenly, and said word by word: "You are in charge of his fate, I have no choice. Since it is impossible to leave here together, I will never drag him down." Xiao Yiqing looked at her for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "You really look like her." He paused, "You can go. But since you said this kindly, I will send someone to see you off when you leave One ride." "Thank you." Fengsha saluted with his lapel folded, and retreated silently. After a while, he clapped his hands, and Die Wu walked in from the door again, leaning obediently at his feet. Xiao Yiqing seemed to be still in a trance, and suddenly smiled strangely: "Do you know where I will send her?" Without waiting for Die Wu to answer, he said to himself: "I will send her to Xiao Gao's side." "But isn't the high altar master going out to carry out the mission?" Die Wu asked puzzled. "He has already set out to destroy Shenshui Palace." Xiao Yiqing nodded and smiled, "Xiao Gao will always do his best to avenge Miss Ye's senior brother. Now I will send Fengsha there too—once the mission is completed, I will Let Xiao Gao be free and let him take the wind and sand away..." "She probably never thought that what she said tonight would change her life's happiness." Without seeing the surprised look on the beauty's face, the owner of Xuelou just sighed, but there was a rare gentle smile on his lips, which made him pale. His face became brighter, "You know? I want to make Ah Jing happy... If she sees Xiao Gao and Miss Ye come back together, and then walk out of the building side by side to join hands with Tianya, she must be very happy. ——I am very happy There are few things that make her happy, and very few things that make her happy." 听雪楼主的眼中，居然有某种温柔的光芒，仿佛那一刹那有什么急流在他平日如同冰原般的心中流动，他半闭着眼睛。许久，才睁开眼睛，看了一眼旁边的舞伎，有些怜惜般的叹了口气，垂手抚摩她乌亮的柔发：“至于你……我是该把你送回扬州了。我会好好安顿你。” 十天后，消息传入听雪楼。 出乎意料的，一向泰山崩于前而不改色的听雪楼主看到那道文牒，却居然失声惊呼出来：“什么？死了？——竟然会……会都死了？” 各位领主和坛主面面相觑，他们不知道、不过是区区一个吹花小筑杀手分坛坛主的死讯，居然会让萧楼主惊讶失态到这样。 坐在软榻旁的靖姑娘似乎是瞥了一眼文牒，然而脸色居然也是出人意料的苍白下去，根本顾不得什么举止失措，一把就从楼主手中拿过了那张文牒。 十月九日，神水宫被灭。负责此次行动的高坛主，表现的令所有人吃惊，几乎是不顾性命的挥剑，最后直入神水宫水底圣殿，一人一剑与宫主对决交。虽然明显不敌，却不许楼中子弟援手，凭着一股惊人的狠气缠斗到千招开外，最终同归于尽。 此时，洛阳总楼派人护送的叶风砂姑娘刚刚星夜兼程的来到水镜湖边——然而，刚下轿的蓝衣女子只来得及收敛高欢的遗体。 十月十二日，进攻神水宫的行动终于彻底完结，听雪楼人马全程返回洛阳。 然而，带回的棺木中，却有两具一起摆放的灵柩——在亲手收敛安葬完高欢后，那个从洛阳千里迢迢赶来的蓝衣女子，不知服了什么药，伏在恋人的尸体上再也不曾起来。 所有人都惊讶的看着高高在上的那一对人中龙凤；惊讶的看着萧楼主的脸色因为莫名的惊惧而苍白；惊讶的看着靖姑娘的手开始不受控制的发抖。 “嗤”，阿靖的手用力握紧那一张信笺，一直到纸张发出轻微碎裂的响声。 “阿靖。”极低极低的，萧忆情唤了身边的女子一声，仿佛想说一些什么，然而，阿靖似乎没有听见，只是定定的看着手中的信笺，面纱后的脸色苍白。 “阿靖。”看到她的脸色，萧忆情再也忍不住的叫了她一声，同时在案下握住她的手，发觉绯衣女子的手冷的如冰。然而，在他手指触到皮肤之时，阿靖蓦的回过神来，抽出了手。 “你好！”几乎是咬着牙，压低了声音，绯衣女子眼睛冷冽如刀，一字一字，“好一个借刀杀人——萧楼主……你就这样一并处理了他们两个人？好手段！” 她的手，在袖中按住了剑柄，然而手却在微微颤抖，不知道因为愤怒还是失望。 然而，毕竟是血薇的主人，虽然如此，却没有燃烧完所有的理智。 “阿靖，你要在听雪楼主厅里、在所有下属面前对我拔剑？”感受到了近在咫尺的杀气，不由微微咳嗽了起来，然而，听雪楼主人的声音却依旧能保持着平静，他看着身边女子的眼睛，“那不是我的本意。那不是我安排的——相信我。” “我没有相信过你——再也不想相信你。”绯衣女子的手一分分松开剑柄，然而，她的眼睛里却结起了严霜，仿佛有什么东西在她内心一分分的封闭，“其实我不该动容，不该意外——你这样的人，无论做出什么事情来我都应该想得到才对！” 说到最后几个字的时候，听雪楼女领主的声音压制不住的高了起来，引得底下听不见两人对话的下属都有些疑虑不定的看过来。然后，阿靖站了起来，淡淡道：“楼主，各位，我有些不舒服，先告退了。” 绯衣女子的身影没入内堂，大厅中，忽然气氛就有些凝滞——听雪楼众人从来未看见过楼主和靖姑娘之间有如此大的冲突，虽然不明所以，但是个个还是屏息不敢说什么。 “既然高坛主亡故，咳咳……那么、那么吹花小筑杀手坛坛主之位暂时悬空。”只是停了片刻，微微咳嗽着，听雪楼主人却翻开了宗卷，开始平静地处理起楼中事务。然而，说不了几句，却掩嘴剧烈的咳嗽起来，半晌方止。 “我决定，暂时由任飞扬来接替这个位置，如何？”终于能说出话来，带着几分疲惫，萧忆情看着阶下众人，问。没有人反对，从来很少有人能够指出楼主决定中有何错漏。 “好，如果证明任飞扬的表现符合坛主的要求，我再让他正式取代高欢的位置。今日……咳咳，今日如若大家无事，就先到这里为止吧。”公布了这个决定之后，看着下属们纷纷散去，听雪楼主不易觉察的叹息了一声，靠入软榻。 眼前，交替着闪过白衣杀手和大红披风少年的脸。 去的尽管去了，来着尽管来着……生死悲欢，就是如此。这只是江湖滔滔洪流中的一浪而已。 萧忆情将手中的丝巾放下，凝视着上面方才咳出的黑色血迹，眼神微微一黯。 他想起了日间，刚刚去吹花小筑检查出关的任飞扬的情景——依然是红衣披发，手执泪痕剑的英俊少年接下了他五十招。不过是短短几个月的训练，任飞扬的进步已经是在他的意料开外。 这是个将会非常优秀的下属，这个少年，不日便要名动江湖……听雪楼主想着，眼睛里面有赞许的神色。然而，他看见了少年的眼睛。 那样的平静，那样的淡漠。甚至，在微笑着收剑称谢的时候，对着听雪楼的主人，少年的眼睛依旧如同冰封的原野，没有一丝表情。 那是又一颗被冰雪封冻的心，而那颗心，在几个月前，还曾经那般的鲜活炽热。 萧忆情陡然间有些说不出话来——究竟是什么样的力量改变了这个少年？ 然而，十多年了，又是什么样的力量改变了他自己？ 或许有人说、那便是江湖。成就有些人的梦，却同时破灭另一些人的梦。然而，却让所有人的心，如同冰雪厚重的落下、掩盖住了曾经生机勃勃的原野，将往日重重叠叠冰封在雪下。 白楼里面一片空空荡荡，只有午后斜阳透过镂花的木窗、将影子斜斜的投进来，在地上留下斑驳昏黄的花纹——仿佛是看不见的奇异的屏障，重重叠叠。 最高的楼上，位高权重的听雪楼主却将目光透过木窗，看向外面。 那里是湛蓝的天空和青翠的树木，然而不知为何，看上去却仿佛在极其遥远的地方。 ——地上的影子随着日影西斜，在缓缓的移动，一寸一寸的向着听雪楼主人的座前逼近。 萧忆情霍然一惊，下意识的往后坐了坐。 随即，知道逼近的不过是影子而已，他唇角就有隐约莫测的苦笑。这样的桎梏，无形中无处不在。虽然看不见，却存在于人与人之间的每一寸空气中。 那就是他们心里的那道墙——终其一生，可能也永远无法逾越的藩篱。
