Chapter 7 The Seventh Blood Rain Gate
Xianxian sat with her head down.Her shoulders were shrunk, her waist was straight, her hands were on her knees, her legs were slanted together, and she only lightly stepped on the ground with her toes.This is undoubtedly a very graceful and dignified posture, but it is also a very laborious posture.
After sitting in this posture for not long, the neck will become sore, the waist will start to hurt, and the pain will even feel like it is about to break.
But she has been sitting like this for nearly an hour, and she hasn't even moved an inch from her toes.
Because she knew that someone outside the window was watching her all the time.She also knew that Lord Hou had come in.
He looked a little uneasy, a little anxious.Of course he hoped that she would stand up to meet him, or at least look at him and smile at him.she didn't.He walked around the round table twice, and suddenly waved his hand.
The eight girls who were standing with their hands down, immediately put on their blessings and retreated quietly.
The little marquis walked around two more times before stopping in front of her, and said, "You want me to come in?"
Xianxian nodded slightly.
The little marquis said: "I've already come in."
Xianxian lowered her head and said, "Please sit down."
Young Lord Hou sat down opposite, but his expression became more disturbed.He was originally a very calm and composed person, but for some reason today he always felt a little restless.
Although he also knew that speaking could calm people down, he just didn't know how to say it.
He hoped that Xianxian could talk, but Xianxian refused to speak.
He picked up the tea, put it down again, and finally couldn't help but said, "What do you want me to do here?"
Xianxian was silent again for a long time, before she said softly: "Mrs. Sun told me just now that you want me to stay."
Lord Hou nodded.
Xianxian said: "What do you want me to do here?"
The young master said: "Didn't Aunt Sun tell you?"
Xianxian said: "I want to hear what you tell me."
The young master's face suddenly turned red, he covered his mouth and coughed lowly.Xianxian didn't ask again.She knows that men are like dogs, they can't be pushed too hard.She also knows when to tighten the thread in her hand and when to let it go.
Her head hangs even lower: "You...you want me to be your concubine?"
"..."
"You already have a wife?"
"No."
"But you still want me to be your concubine."
"..."
"why?"
"..."
He was originally a silent man, not to mention that these questions were difficult to answer.
Xianxian sighed softly, and said: "Actually, even if you don't tell me, I understand that a woman like me who has neither status nor background, of course cannot be the wife of Hou Men."
The young master looked at his tightly clenched hands, and said slowly: "But I..."
Xianxian interrupted him and said: "I am very grateful for your kindness. You saved me, and I will never forget it. Even if I can't repay you in this life, in the next life..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she stood up suddenly, took off the rings on her head, took off the bracelets on her hands, and even took off the shoes inlaid with pearls on her feet. on the table in front of him.
He looked at her in surprise, and lost his voice: "You What are you doing?"
Xianxian said indifferently: "I dare not take these things away, and I can't take them down... I will put on this set of clothes for the time being, and I will send them back after washing them." She said nothing else, and left barefoot. go out.
Young Lord Hou jumped up suddenly, blocked the door, and said, "You want to go?"
Slim nodded.
The little marquis said: "Why do you want to leave all of a sudden?"
Xianxian said: "Why can't I go?"
With a sullen face, she said coldly: "Although I am a woman with neither background nor status, I am not cheap. I would rather marry a groom as my wife than be someone else's concubine."
She said it firmly, as if she had suddenly changed into a different person.The young master looked at her, even more surprised.
He never thought that such a gentle woman would suddenly become so resolute and tough.
Xianxianban said with a straight face: "You must have understood what I mean, can you let me go now?"
The little marquis said: "I can't."
Slim said: "What do you want?"
The young master's eyes flickered, and he said: "As long as you promise me, I will give you one hundred thousand taels of gold immediately..."
Before he finished speaking, Xianxian slapped him on the face.This may be the first time in his life that he was beaten by others, but he did not dodge.
Gritting her teeth, with tears in her eyes, Xianxian said in a low voice, "Do you think you can buy all the women if you have gold?... Go and buy it, even if you buy a thousand or a hundred, but even if you Even if you pile up all the gold in the world, you will never be able to buy me."
Panting, she wiped away her tears, and said loudly, "Let me go... Will you let me go?"
The little marquis said: "Don't let go."
Xianxian raised her hand again and slapped her, but unfortunately her hand was already caught.The little marquis grabbed her hand and stared at her. Instead of anger, his eyes were full of tenderness.
He stared at her and said softly: "At first I might let you go, but now I will never let you go, because I now know what a rare woman you are, if I let you go, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life.”
Xianxian blinked and said, "You..."
The little marquis said: "I want you to be my wife—my only wife."
Xianxian seemed surprised and joyful, tremblingly said: "But I... I am not worthy..."
The little marquis said: "If you are not worthy, there will be no other woman in the world."
Xianxian said: "But my family background..."
The young master said: "What the hell is his family background, I married a wife, not a family tree."
Xianxian looked at him, and two more lines of tears gradually flowed down from her beautiful eyes.Now her tears are tears of joy.She finally changed her destiny.
It is said that there are more than three hundred ways for women to deal with men.She used the most correct one without a doubt.
Because she knows when to tighten the thread in her hand and when to loosen it.
The lamp burns.Ding Canyan walked in slowly, lit the lamp on the table, and then turned around to look at them.
Xiao Lei didn't look at her, as if he never wanted to look at her again.Ding Ding hid in the corner of the bed, shaking with fright.
Ding Canyan walked over slowly, stared at her and said, "You said the medicine I applied on him was called weed grass?"
Ding Ding nodded, almost crying in fright.
Ding Canyan turned to Xiaolei and said, "Do you believe it?"
Xiao Lei refused to answer, refused to speak.
Ding Canyan said slowly: "She's right, I really don't want to let you go, I did meet Long Si, I did kill that horse - she didn't lie about these things."
Xiao Lei sneered.
Ding Canyan said: "But weeds..." She suddenly tore open her skirt, revealing her shoulders that were as clear as jade, and the place where she stabbed her shoulders was also wrapped with cotton cloth.
She tore off the cotton cloth with all her strength, threw it in front of Xiao Lei, and said, "Look what this is?"
Xiao Lei didn't need to look, he could already smell the strange and strong medicinal fragrance.On her own wound, what she applied was also hoe grass.Xiao Lei was stunned.
Ding Canyan suddenly let out a long sigh, and murmured: "Ding Ding, Ding Ding...how did I treat you wrong? You...you...why do you tell such a lie."
Ding Ding burst into tears, jumped up suddenly, and hissed: "Yes, I'm lying, I want to destroy you, let you get nothing, because I hate you."
Ding Canyan said: "You hate me?"
Ding Ding said: "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you to death, I wish you would die soon, the sooner the better..."
She suddenly covered her face with her hands, ran out crying bitterly, and shouted: "I don't want to stay in this ghost place any longer, and be angry with you every day... Even if I lie, you taught me..."
Ding Canyan didn't stop her, but just stood there in a daze, with tears streaming down his eyes.Xiao Lei's face turned even paler.
He really didn't expect that things would suddenly become like this, and he really didn't expect that innocent and kind little girl to lie.Ding Canyan suddenly let out another long sigh, and murmured: "I don't blame her, she must have done this just to leave me, to leave this place... The outside world is so big, how could any girl Don't want to go out and have a look?"
Xiao Lei couldn't help but said, "You really don't hate her?"
Ding Canyan said: "She is still a child."
Xiao Lei said: "She hates you!"
Ding Canyan said sadly: "There are many things in the world that are like this. People who hate you may not necessarily hate him, and people who love you may not necessarily love him..." Her voice became lower and lower, and finally heard gone.
Xiao Lei was silent for a long time, and he couldn't help sighing: "Yes, there are indeed many things in the world that are like this."
He suddenly felt very heavy in his heart, as if he was pressing down on a heavy stone.
After a long time, he said slowly: "No matter what, you always saved me."
Ding Canyan said: "I didn't save you."
Xiao Lei said: "No?"
Ding Canyan said: "The one who saved you is yourself."
Xiao Lei said, "Myself?"
Ding Canyan said: "If you don't want to live anymore, no one can save you."
Xiao Lei said: "But I..."
Ding Canyan interrupted him, and said coldly: "Now you can go, if you can't walk, you'd better climb out."
She went first and didn't look back.The lights are getting dimmer, the wind is getting colder, and the sound of running water in the distance sounds like a girl's sobbing.Xiao Lei lay down, not wanting to think about anything, just quietly waiting for the dawn...
dawn.The sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue.In the morning breeze, there are bursts of flowers, spring water, and cooked rice.Xiao Lei slowly got out of bed.
His new and old wounds were hurting so much that few could stand them.But he doesn't care.
He has learned to treat pain as a kind of enjoyment, because only physical pain can relieve the pain in his heart.
Who is cooking?is her?Or Tintin?He wondered how they passed the night, which must have been a long one for them too.
The kitchen is at the back, not far away.But for Xiaolei, the journey was hard and long. Fortunately, his leg was not hurt yet.
He finally reached the door of the kitchen, his clothes soaked in cold sweat.
Standing alone in front of the big stove with the door behind his back, his long skirt dragged the floor, and his white clothes were like snow.Unexpectedly, she can cook.
Whoever saw her calm and ruthless standing in the pool of blood would never have imagined that she was also standing in the kitchen.
Little Lei leaned on the wall and walked in slowly.She heard his footsteps, of course, but she didn't look back.Had she also refused to speak to him.
Xiao Lei was silent, and after a long time, he couldn't help asking: "Where's Ding Ding?"
She didn't answer.
Xiao Lei said: "She is still a child, although she has done something wrong, who hasn't done something wrong? If you are willing to forgive her, I..."
She suddenly interrupted him and said coldly, "Who are you talking to?"
Xiao Lei said: "You."
She suddenly turned her head, looked at Xiao Lei, and said, "Do you recognize me? Why don't I recognize you?"
Xiao Lei was stunned.Although this young woman is also dressed in white and tall and slender, she is a very ugly woman, ordinary and ugly.
She is holding the pot with one hand and the shovel in the other, and she is serving the rice.She has two hands.
Xiao Lei let out a long breath, forced a smile and said, "I don't seem to recognize you either."
The young woman in white said: "Since you don't recognize me, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Lei said, "Come and find someone."
The young woman in white asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Xiao Lei said: "Look for a woman, a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old."
The young woman in white smiled coldly and said, "It seems that what a man is looking for is a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. I would know that if you don't tell me, but what is her last name?"
Xiao Lei said: "It seems that the surname is Ding."
The young woman in white said, "My surname is not Ding."
Xiao Lei said, "You...how did you end up here."
The young woman in white said: "This is my home, where am I not here?"
Xiao Lei asked in amazement, "Is this your home?"
The young woman in white said: "Yes."
Xiao Lei said, "You've been living here?"
The young woman in self-clothes said: "I live here now, and this is my home now."
Xiao Lei asked, "What about before?"
The young woman in white said lightly: "Why do you need to ask about the past?"
Xiao Lei stopped talking.Because he felt that what the young woman said was very reasonable, since the past has passed, why bother to ask again?Why mention it again?
The young woman in white turned her head, filled a large bowl of rice, and suddenly asked, "Are you hungry?"
Xiao Lei said, "Hungry."
The young woman in white said: "Eat when you are hungry."
Xiao Lei said, "Thank you."
On the table are scrambled eggs, steamed meat, and freshly peeled lettuce mixed with sesame oil.Xiao Lei sat down and quickly ate a big bowl of rice.
The young woman in white looked at him with a smile in her eyes, and said, "It seems that you are really hungry."
Xiao Lei said: "So I want to have another bowl."
The young woman in white pushed the bowl of rice in front of her to him, and said: "Eat, eat more, you will have strength when you are full."
She suddenly smiled, a very strange smile, and continued leisurely: "You don't want to eat my food for nothing, do you?"
Xiao Lei seemed to feel that a mouthful of rice was choking in his throat.
The young woman in white clothes said: "After eating other people's food, you have to do things for them. You should understand this truth."
Xiao Lei nodded.
The young woman in white said: "I think you are also a man with backbone, you probably won't do things like eating and drinking."
Little Lei simply ate the bowl of rice, put down his chopsticks, and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
The young woman in white asked back, "What will you do?"
Xiao Lei said: "I can do many things."
The young woman in white asked, "What is the best thing?"
Xiaolei looked at his hands on the table, and his pupils seemed to be shrinking gradually.
The young woman in white stared at him, and slowly said: "Everyone has the same specialties, some people's specialty is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, some people's specialty is medicine, divination and astrology, and some people's specialty is killing people—how about you?"
Xiao Lei was silent for a long time, before saying word by word: "My specialty is being stabbed."
The young woman in white said: "Being stabbed? Is being knifed considered a specialty?"
Xiao Lei said lightly: "In less than ten days, I have already received seven or eight knives, at least I have a lot of experience."
The young woman in white said: "What's the use of being stabbed?"
Xiao Lei said: "It's useful."
The young woman in white said: "What's the use of it?"
Xiao Lei said: "I ate your food, you might as well chop me up, and the debt will be settled."
The young woman in white smiled and said, "Why should I chop you? What good will it do me?"
Xiao Lei said: "That's your business."
The young woman in white rolled her eyes and said: "You have been stabbed seven or eight times, but you are still alive, which is really a skill."
Xiao Lei said: "It was originally."
The young woman in white said: "Anyone who knows how to be stabbed must also kill someone."
Xiao Lei said, "Oh!"
The young woman in white suddenly clapped her hands and said: "Okay, just kill two people for me, and our debt will be settled."
She said it so easily, as if someone owed her an egg and she asked others to return two duck eggs.
Xiao Lei also laughed, and said, "I ate your two bowls of rice, and you asked me to kill two people for you?"
The young woman in white said: "Not bad."
Xiao Lei said: "The price of these two bowls of rice is too expensive."
The young woman in white said, "It's not expensive."
Xiao Lei said, "Not expensive?"
The young woman in white said: "My two bowls of rice are very special, ordinary people can't eat them."
Xiao Lei asked, "What's so special?"
The young woman in white said: "Because there is something very special in the meal."
Xiao Lei said: "What?"
The young woman in white said: "Poison."
She looked at Xiao Lei, as if hoping to see Xiao Lei jump up from the chair in fright.But Xiao Lei didn't even jump out of the corner of his eyes.
The young woman in white frowned and said, "You don't believe me?"
Xiao Lei said lightly: "Since I have eaten those two bowls of rice, it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not."
The young woman in white said: "It doesn't matter? Do you know that people who eat poison will die."
Xiao Lei said: "I know."
The young woman in white said, "Do you want to die?"
Xiao Lei said, "I don't want to."
The young woman in white breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you can kill two people for me, anyway, you don't recognize those two people, and just two people are not too many."
Xiao Lei said: "Not many."
The young woman in white said: "As soon as they come, you can start to kill them."
Xiao Lei said, "I won't kill you."
The young woman in white changed color and said, "Don't kill? Why don't you kill?"
Xiao Lei said: "If you don't kill, you don't kill, there is no reason."
The young woman in white said: "Do you know who I want you to kill?"
Xiao Lei said: "Because I don't know, I can't kill him."
The young woman in white said, "Do you want to know?"
Xiao Lei said: "I don't want to, and I don't have to."
The young woman in white said fiercely: "If you don't kill them, you will die yourself."
Xiao Lei suddenly stopped talking, stood up slowly, and walked outside.
The young woman in white asked, "Where are you going?"
Xiao Lei said, "Go and wait for death."
The young woman in white said: "You would rather die than agree?"
Xiao Lei didn't even bother to talk to her anymore, and walked out without looking back.
The young woman in white gritted her teeth, jumped up suddenly, and said loudly, "Are you a human? Or a mule?"
I only heard Xiao Lei's voice coming in from outside, and only said two words: "Mule."
Xiao Lei lay on the bed, feeling ridiculous.When Jiuyou swarmed to seek revenge, countless people died in that battle, and blood flowed everywhere.He is not dead.The executioner under the blood rain gate put a knife around his throat, and the blade had cut into the flesh, so he did not die.
Yama of the Five Temples is all martial arts masters with unique skills, and all of them are ruthless, and the sword clearly passed through him.He didn't die either.Now he ate two bowls of white rice in a daze, and he was about to die in a daze.Don't you think this is ridiculous?Of course he could have restrained the young woman in white and forced her to take out the antidote.
He didn't do this, but it wasn't because he was afraid that he would lose his strength, and he wouldn't be her opponent - since a person is going to die, what is there to be afraid of?He didn't do it, simply because he was too lazy to do it.
How did that young woman in white come here?Who was it that told him to kill?Who is she herself?
Xiao Lei didn't ask, too lazy to ask.Now he seems to have no interest in anything at all, and doesn't care at all.
This phenomenon is indeed terrible.How he became like this, even he himself is not quite clear.
He didn't bother to think about it.Waiting for death seems to be a good feeling, at least it will be over once and for all, without worries.
It was beating "ding ding dong dong" outside, but I don't know what it was knocking on?After a long time, the sound stopped.
Then someone came in from outside the door.Two strong men in green clothes came in carrying a coffin nailed with thin planks and placed it beside his bed.
It turned out that the coffin was being nailed outside just now.These people are really thoughtful, they even prepared the funeral for him first.
The burly man in green gave him a look, as if he was looking at a dead person, and suddenly bowed to him.
The living seem to have a special respect for the dead.Xiao Lei didn't bother to pay attention to them, and fell asleep without moving, a bit like a dead person.The burly man in Tsing Yi walked out, and after a while, he brought in another coffin and put it beside him.
Why does one person need two coffins?Of course, Xiaolei didn't bother to ask them, it didn't matter if there was one coffin, two coffins, there were coffins, or no coffins.He doesn't care at all.
After a while, the young woman in white came in and stood by the bed and looked at him.Little Lei simply closed his eyes.
The young woman in white said: "The coffin is ready, it was nailed up impromptu. Although it is not very elegant, it is better than no coffin."
Xiao Lei was silent.
The young woman in white said: "I don't know if you can lie in the coffin first, so as not to ask someone to carry you after you die."
She stared at Xiao Lei, as if hoping that Xiao Lei would jump up and fight her desperately.Unexpectedly, Xiao Lei actually stood up and lay down in the coffin by himself.There was still no expression on his face.The young woman in white also seemed to be stunned.
After a long time, she sighed softly and said: "We have never met before, we never thought that we would die together now, maybe this is also called fate."
She herself was lying in another coffin.Xiaolei could actually resist not asking, but he couldn't help being surprised, wondering what kind of tricks she was playing.The young woman in white lay straight in the coffin with her eyes closed, as if waiting to die.
After a long time, she suddenly sighed again and said, "Do you know what I'm thinking?"
She seemed to know that Xiao Lei would not speak, so she went on to say: "I was thinking, if other people saw the two of us dying together, maybe they would think that we were dying for love?"
Xiao Lei finally spoke.He finally couldn't help asking: "Why do you want to die with me?"
The young woman in white said, "Because you hurt me."
She harmed others, but said that others harmed her.Xiao Lei was speechless again.
The young woman in white said: "Do you know why I said you hurt me?"
Xiao Lei said, "I don't know."
The young woman in white said: "Because if you are willing to kill those two people for me, I won't die."
Xiao Lei frowned and said, "Are those two people here to kill you?"
The young woman in white sighed and said, "Not only will I be killed, but maybe I will be hacked into pieces, so I might as well die first and be cleaner."
Xiao Lei said: "That's why you lie in the coffin first."
The young woman in white said: "Because I am also waiting to die. When they come, I will die first."
She smiled, very sadly, and then said: "Even after I die, they will drag me out of the coffin, but I finally died in the coffin."
In a few light words, she vividly described the viciousness and cruelty of those two people. No matter who listened to her words, they would no longer have a good impression of those two people.
Xiao Lei still said coldly: "There are many places where you can die, why do you have to come here to die?"
The young woman in white said: "I escaped here because I didn't want to die."
Xiao Lei asked, "Why?"
The young woman in white sighed again, "Because I thought someone here would save me."
Xiao Lei asked, "Who?"
The young woman in white said: "Ding Canyan."
Xiao Lei let out a soft "Oh", as if he was very familiar with this name, but at the same time seemed very strange.
The young woman in white said again: "When I came, she was not there, so I thought she told you before she left."
Xiao Lei said quietly: "Then you are wrong, I didn't know she would really leave."
He said the word "true" very emphatically, as if the haunted woman would never give up on him.
But he would rather believe that Ding Canyan really left in despair.Where has she gone?This will always remain a mystery.
But he believes that a woman like Ding Canyan will take care of herself no matter where she goes.Because in her mind, there is no other person except herself.
The young woman in white suddenly sat up from the coffin and asked, "Who are you to Ding Canyan?"
Xiao Lei said indifferently: "I am not someone to her."
The young woman in white said, "Oh? Then why are you here?"
Xiao Lei still lay motionless, eyes closed tightly, like a corpse.But he breathed more than a dead man after all—a long sigh.He was too lazy to answer, and he didn't want to answer.
silence.After a long silence, there was no sound, no movement.
Xiao Lei didn't need to bite his fingers, but he knew he was still alive, because he could hear his own breathing, and dead people can't breathe.
But the sound of breathing was made by him, but the coffin next to him was silent.Is she already dead?
Little Leihuo straightened up and looked at the coffin next to him, only to find that it was empty.
The young master came out of Iron Lion Alley, not far from the entrance of the alley, there was a gorgeous carriage parked.He approached with heavy steps, lifted the curtain and entered the compartment, and there was a woman sitting inside, that young woman in white.The young woman in white couldn't wait to ask: "Have you seen Long Si?"
The young master looked dignified, and nodded slightly.The carriage was already running, and the top of the carriage was shaking violently.silence.
The young woman in white glanced at the young master's face, and said suddenly: "I'll get off here."
The young master didn't stop him, the young woman in white was about to lift the curtain and jump out of the car, but he grabbed her arm and held it tightly.
The young woman in white cried softly: "Ah!..."
The little marquis said angrily: "Tell me, why didn't you attack Lei?"
The young woman in white smiled and said, "If you really like Miss Xianxian, you must let Lei live, otherwise you will lose her."
The young master said decisively: "I don't believe it!"
The young woman in white said: "You don't have to believe me, but you must believe Jin Chuan's words."
The young master said disdainfully: "Hmph! I don't believe that person even more."
He had reason not to believe Jin Chuan, because people who couldn't eat grapes said that grapes were sour.According to Jin Chuan: Xianxian only loves one person in her life, and that is Xiaolei.But she was abandoned by Xiao Lei.
So Xianxian wanted to take revenge, she did not hesitate to throw herself into the arms of the young master, just to avenge Xiao Lei's betrayal and heartlessness, but she still loved Xiao Lei.The young master has always been very conceited, he doesn't believe that with his family background, appearance and martial arts, he can't compare with Xiao Lei in Xianxian's mind, except for one thing, that is what the young woman in white said after seeing Xiao Lei, this person doesn't take him seriously at all life.
Is it because of this that Xiaolei makes Xianxian fall in love?Little Hou Ye never believed it, so he went to meet Long Si in person.
Maybe he shouldn't have done so much, but in order to prove what Jin Chuan said, he couldn't help but go to see Long Si, and now he finally knows that a man who can make people like Long Si admire him is absolutely worthy of any woman's wholehearted respect. to love him.
The young woman in white has never been loved by a man, nor has she loved any man, she can only kill, no matter if it is a man or a woman, so her nickname is Leng-Blooded Guanyin.
Entrusted by the young master, she obtained clues from Long Si and judged that it might be Ding Canyan who deceived Xiaolei. Ray lay on the bed.Xiao Lei was sleeping soundly at the time, she could have taken the opportunity to strike, but she didn't.Cold-blooded Avalokitesvara never hesitated to kill people in her life, and she would never bear it, but she gave up the opportunity to do so easily.
This is exactly the worry of the young master, the cold-blooded Guanyin shows mercy to Xiaolei, which shows the position he occupies in Xianxian's heart.
The young master has never tasted troubles, and now he has troubles.
Xianxian no longer hangs her head down.She was radiant with a spring-like smile on her face.
Now she not only wants to change her own destiny, but also wants to control the destiny of others, this is an undeniable fact.
The little marquis is already in her grasp.
Late at night, in the quiet Iron Lion Alley.In the main hall of the Escort Bureau, Long Si and Ouyang were anxiously having a drink, their expressions were very solemn, I don't know if they were drinking to strengthen their courage, or to relieve their worries?
Several burly riders were on hand, all of them holding weapons and waiting in full force, which added to the tense and gloomy atmosphere.
Chu Biao, the head of the bodyguard bureau, walked in hastily, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Head of the bodyguard, everything you have told me has been taken care of."
Long Si nodded his head slightly and asked, "How many people are left?"
Chu Biao said: "Except for a few with family members, all of them are willing to stay."
Long Si asked again: "Did you explain what I said?"
Chu Biao said vigorously, "They are willing to live and die with the chief escort."
Long Si said: "Good!"
He stood up suddenly, glanced at everyone's faces, and sighed, "Ah! Although the brothers have good intentions, how can I bear to trouble everyone..."
Ouyang punched the table fiercely, and said excitedly: "The Xueyumen came to the door, at most, it's a fight, tonight is just the end."
Long Si frowned and said, "Blood Rain Sect will definitely invade tonight. The three guards, Huang Fei, Cheng Qing, and Wu Gang, may not arrive in time. With you and me, we have to deal with the situation tonight. I'm afraid... "He is indeed old and no longer has the arrogance of the past.
Ouyang quickly understood what he meant, he wasn't worried about himself, but couldn't bear the slaughter of these loyal subordinates.
No one in the Jianghu knows Xueyumen's style of driving and killing.Ouyang hurriedly stopped talking, raised his glass and drank it down.
The entire hall fell into silence...Suddenly, there were several screams from outside the hall.
Long Si's face changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "Here we come!"
A passer-by hastily handed over the Zhangsi long spear, just as he took the gun in his hand, Ouyang quickly picked up the black whip and rushed out of the hall.
Long Si shouted anxiously: "Ouyang..."
But he couldn't stop him, Ouyang rushed to the courtyard.More than 20 people have moved their hands, and some of them have been lying down, but they can't stop the two people who broke in.These two people are Yan Luosan and Yan Luodao.
They rushed straight to the main hall, Ouyang stood on the steps anxiously, swiped his black-stalked long whip, and went straight to Yan Luodao's face.The long whip is extremely powerful like a poisonous snake.Yan Luo Dao swings the saber horizontally, the long whip wraps around the blade, and the two sides compete with each other.
Yan Luosan took the opportunity to attack, swung the umbrella to shoot at Ouyang Ji, but was pushed away by Long Si who charged out.
Amidst the wild shouts, Long Si's long spear rushed to attack again and again, forcing Yan Luosan to get out of the way, and relieved Ouyang of the threat of being pinched.
Yan Luosan laughed wildly: "Long Si, you are all dead tonight."
Long Si knew that these two people were not the only ones on the other side, they were just leading the charge, and the members of Blood Rain Sect would be waiting for the opportunity in secret.
Especially when the enemy is dark and we are clear, it is even more difficult to guard against. Long Si is not afraid of these two people, but he has no way of knowing who the people who have not yet shown up are.He tightened his spear, approached Yan Luosan, and shouted: "Since you two are still far away, how many of you have come, why don't you all come out and show yourself?"
Yan Luosan said wildly: "You don't need a sledgehammer to kill a chicken, just order it."
The iron umbrella is very heavy, but it is as light as an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and it is handy without any effort.
The two sides were fighting fiercely, and a sinister laugh came from nowhere, which was creepy.
After the laughter fell, a hoarse voice said: "Yam Luo, the fifth hall, has been famous in the martial arts for a long time, why is it getting worse and worse?"
Another vigorous voice interjected: "That's right, I planted three last time, and the remaining two will be even worse."
Fortunately, the night was hazy, and the blushes of Yan Luosan and Yan Luodao could not be seen.After hearing the taunts, they stepped up their attack and tried their best to attack Long Si and Ouyang Ji.All the sons couldn't get their hands in, so they had to shout and cheer from the sidelines.
The hoarse voice sounded again: "Don't watch the excitement, let's end this show quickly."
A vigorous voice said: "Okay! You first? Or me first?"
The hoarse voice said with a smile: "The seniors are in order, of course you invite them first."
With a sound of "Okay!" Fang exited, and a black shadow had already swept up the roof, like a big roc flying in the sky, descending from the sky.Before the black shadow fell to the ground, both sleeves flicked in the air, and a cold light shot out quickly.
Long Si exclaimed in shock: "Death money..."
But his warning was not as fast as Han Guang's, and there was a series of screams, and more than a dozen of his hands had fallen.There are two masters of hidden weapons in Blood Rain Gate, Nanqian and Beisha.As expected, Nan Gongliang's reputation for killing Qian Qian was well-deserved. This technique was full of flowers and rain, and the money was worthless. He took the lives of more than a dozen hands in one move.
Long Si was frightened and angry, the blood in his body was boiling, he forced Yan Luosan to open with a shot, and went straight to Nan Gongliang, shouting: "It's not a skill to hurt someone with a hidden arrow, look at the gun!" His thunderous shot was stabbed by Nan Gongliang calmly Get out of the way, and with a sweep, you are already on the roof.
Nan Gongliang smiled and said: "Long Si, you are so ignorant, I never use backstabbing, only..."
Long Si was already furious, and he raised his gun and jumped up.Unexpectedly, as soon as one foot landed on the eaves, a gust of wind suddenly hit the face, carrying a cloud of iron sand in the wind.Sure enough, Nanqian and Beisha came hand in hand, and it was Wei Qi, the poisonous sandman, who made the move.
Long Si was startled to realize that it was too late to be attacked, only to feel a sharp pain all over his face, and he had already fallen on his back.
Ouyang was shocked and exclaimed, "Fourth Master..."
He only rushed to rescue Long Si, when he was distracted, Yan Luodao took the opportunity to raise the knife and cut off his right hand holding the whip at the elbow.
But he didn't seem to feel any pain at all, and he didn't realize that he had lost an arm when he raised his arm to support Long Si who fell down. make a bunch.
Nanqian and Beisha both rushed down, mercilessly attacking, and slaughtered the troopers with money and poisonous sand.
Yan Luodao rushed to the main hall, and Yan Luo's umbrella rushed towards Long Si and Ouyang Ji. He was about to shoot down with his umbrella when he suddenly saw a figure rushing in across the wall.
This person was no longer desperate for his life, but desperate for his life at all, and unexpectedly slammed into Yan Luosan head-on regardless of the risk of being hit in the head by Iron Umbrella.Yan Luosan was caught off guard and was hit all over his arms.
The impact was so violent that both of them staggered backwards, so that Yan Luosan had already guessed who he was before he saw the other clearly.
Yan Luosan has only seen one such desperate person in his life, and that is Xiaolei.
That's right, this person is Xiaolei, he knocked open Yan Luo's umbrella, then took two big strides, and clasped the opponent's wrist like lightning.
Yan Luosan stepped aside and shouted: "He is Long Wu."
Nan Gongliang and Wei Qi immediately turned around, and Yan Luosan happened to be in the shape of "pin", surrounding Xiaolei in the middle.
When Yan Luosan saw that they were ready to go, he suddenly felt emboldened, cheered up, and laughed wildly: "Long Wu, it's great that you came here, lest we go looking for you again."
Xiao Lei has caught sight of Long Si and Ouyang Ji, both of them are seriously injured and lying on the ground, his heart feels like a knife is piercing him for a while, but he has no time to rescue them.
With a strong enemy in front of him, he had no other choice but to go all out.Fortunately, this life did not belong to him long ago, and it was worth dying for Long Si, rather than eating two bowls of rice in a daze, and dying at the hands of that young woman in white.
Life is the most precious thing. If a person is not afraid of death, there is nothing more worthy of fear in the world.
Xiao Lei smiled lightly and said, "That's right! Maybe I'm a step late, but I'm here after all."
阎罗伞并不动手，向南宫良和魏奇一使眼色，突然退后道：“二位，这小子交给你们啦。”
魏奇沙哑着嗓门道：“南宫兄，这次该兄弟扰个先了吧？”
南宫良笑道：“好！”
魏奇的肩膀刚一动，未及出手，却突发一声惨叫，双手掩面倒地，满地乱滚，哀叫如号：“我的眼睛……”
这突如其来的骤变，使南宫良和阎罗伞大吃一惊，相顾愕然。就在他们惊魂未定时，墙头上出现了一个人。夜色朦胧，这人一身白衣，竟是那白衣少妇——冷血观音。
南宫良惊声道：“来的可是冷血观音？”
冷血观音冷冷地道：“你的眼力总算还不错，没有把我当成丁残艳。”
江湖中最难惹的两个女人，就是冷血观音和丁残艳，而她们两个都喜欢穿白衣。
小雷第一次看到冷血观音的背影，就曾把她误认作是丁残艳。
南宫良对这女人似有顾忌，但仍然忍不住忿声道：“我们跟你向来井水不犯河水，你为什么向魏奇下这毒手？”
冷血观音掠下墙头，手指小雷道：“可是你们犯了他！”
南宫良道：“这与你何干？”
冷血观音冷哼一声道：“关系可大着呐。”
小雷并不领她的情，甚至不敢领这种女人的情。他遇上个丁残艳，就已头疼万分，绝不愿再遇上第二个丁残艳。
小雷不禁叹道：“唉！你怎么也是阴魂不散……”
阎罗伞早已按捺不住，趁着冷血观音正要答话，稍一分神的机会，突然出其不意向她抡伞攻去。冷血观音动都未动，纤指轻弹，两道寒芒疾射而出。
阎罗伞的这柄铁伞，专破各门各派暗器，没想到今夜遇上冷血观音，竟使他成了英雄无用武之地。这只怪他求功心切，企图趁其不备，攻冷血观音个措手不及，可惜这个如意算盘打错了，等他惊觉两道寒光射到眼前，根本已无法闪避。
只听他发出凄厉惨叫，也像魏奇一样，倒在地上乱滚，哀号不已。
阎罗刀正好冲出正堂，见状大吃一惊，怒喝道：“南宫兄，你是来看热闹的？”
喝声中他已挥刀扑向冷血观音。但这次不容冷血观音出手，小雷已抢先发动，迎向扑来的阎罗刀。刀光闪闪，声势夺人，却吓阻不了小雷的扑势。
小雷虽不重视生命，但也不愿用血肉之躯去挨刀。他闪开来势汹汹的一刀，一转身，双臂齐张，将阎罗刀整个身体紧紧抱住。这不像高手过招，简直是两个莽汉打架。
可是小雷的双臂如同铁钳，愈收愈紧，使阎罗刀被勒得几乎透不过气来。
南宫良蠢蠢欲动，偷眼一瞥冷血观音，终于迟迟不敢贸然出手。
小雷双臂继续收紧，阎罗刀已满脸胀得通红，青筋直冒，却无法挣脱……
就在这时候，墙头上又出现十几个人。冷血观音回头一看，暗吃一惊。
像她这种女煞星，居然也有吃惊的时候，这倒是很难得的事。
夜色虽朦胧，她的眼力却厉害，一眼就认出，这些身穿骷髅装的人，全是血雨门主的随身侍卫。他们的打扮确实怪异，黑色紧身衣上，画成整个一副白骨，戴着骷髅面罩。乍看之下，就是一具具从坟墓里爬出的骷髅，令人看了不寒而栗，毛发悚然。
想不到血雨门主司徒令，今夜竟亲自出马，南宫良趁她吃惊分神，突然双袖齐拂，十二枚夺命金钱疾射而出。冷血观音惊觉已欲避不及，千钧一发之际，小雷突将阎罗刀的身体抛来，及时做了她的挡箭牌。
十二枚夺命金钱，全部打在阎罗刀身上。他已被勒得几乎昏厥，所以毫无痛苦，也未发出惨叫，就摔在地上气绝而亡。这种死法倒也痛快。
冷血观音惊魂甫定，两眼逼视南宫良，冷森森地道：“你可懂得礼尚往来吗？”
南宫良心头一寒，从头顶直凉到脚跟。
他强自发出声苦笑，正要情急拼命，来个孤注一掷，忽听墙头上有人问道：“姓雷的死了没有？”
小雷接口道：“我还活着。”
墙头上的人道：“南宫良，门主有令，放他一马。”
南宫良正中下怀，趁机下台，急向冷血观音双手一拱，道：“那我就不奉陪了。”说完他已掠身而起，射向墙头。
冷血观音疾喝一声：“没那么简单。”
喝声中，她已扬手射出几枚毒针。南宫良情知不妙，可惜未及凌空拧身闪避，几枚毒针已悉数射在他身上。惨呼一声，身形直坠，翻跌出了墙外。
冷血观音以为墙头上那十几人，必然群起而攻，急忙严阵以待。出乎她意料之外，那些人竟不顾而去。
铁狮子胡同外，黑暗处站着两个人。他们保持着沉默。
十几个穿骷髅衣的人奔出，直到走近他们，其中一个上前执礼甚恭地道：“回禀门主，姓雷的还活着。”
黑暗中的两个人，竟有一个是司徒令，司徒令笑道：“好！这笔买卖成交了。”
黑暗中另一人道：“三日之内，我派人把玉如意奉上就是。”
司徒令道：“一言为定。”
他也不问自己的人死活，便带着那批手下，扬长而去。黑暗中留下另一人，仍在等待着。
胡同里终于奔出了冷血观音，他立即迎出，迫不及待地问道：“姓雷的真没死？”
冷血观音道：“他死不了的，可是我不明白，司徒令怎会被你说服的？”
那人轻描淡写道：“我们作了一笔交易。”
冷血观音诧然道：“什么交易？”
那人道：“用我家传之宝玉如意，交换姓雷的一条命。”
冷血观音道：“哦？这代价也未免太大了，恐怕他自己也不相信，他的命有这样值钱。”
那人断然道：“在我却值得。”
黑暗中驶出一辆华丽马车，二人登车疾驶而去。夜，更深沉，更静寂了。
夜已更深沉。镖局里横七竖八，躺着二三十具尸体，活着的人已没有几个。
龙四已是半死不活，只剩下了奄奄一息。
欧阳急断了条手臂，但他毕竟保全了生命，并且已勉强支撑着坐了起来。
小雷蹲在龙四身旁，热泪盈眶道：“我来迟了，我来迟了……”
龙四气若游丝，但脸上露出满足的笑意，道：“你毕竟来了，我已心满意足。”
小雷悔恨道：“我应该早一天赶来的，哪怕是早一个时辰……”
龙四凄然苦笑道：“好兄弟，只要你有来找我的心意，就算我死后你才来，仍然是来了……我们是好兄弟吗？”
小雷点头道：“是的，是的，你是龙四，我是龙五……”
龙四大笑道：“对！我们是好兄弟，哈哈……”笑声渐渐衰弱，终于戛然而止。
龙四死了。他死得心安理得，脸上露出欣慰满足的笑容。
小雷情不自禁，抚尸失声痛哭：“龙四哥！……”
欧阳急不愧是条硬汉，他没有流一滴泪，平静地道：“雷老弟，四爷跟你结交一场，总算没有看错人，死也可以瞑目了。”
小雷哭声突止，问道：“他们是血雨门的人？”
欧阳急点点头，没有说话。
小雷激动道：“好！我会去找他们的。”
欧阳急慌忙道：“你不必去找他们，四爷等了你好些天，希望你能快点来，就是要告诉你去找一个人……”
小雷急问道：“谁？是纤纤吗？”
欧阳急摇摇头道：“那个人曾经来打听过你，另外还有个女人也来打听过，就是刚才那个穿白衣的女人。”
小雷道：“她？”
欧阳急道：“四爷希望你去见的不是她。”
小雷追问道：“究竟是谁呢？”
欧阳急道：“小侯爷。”
小雷茫然道：“哦？他为什么要我去见那个人？”
欧阳急又摇了摇头。他只记得小侯爷来访龙四，临走时曾叮嘱：“姓雷的如果来了，务必要他去见我。”
小侯爷究竟为什么要见小雷，连龙四也不知道，欧阳急就更不清楚了。
但是，他们都知道，小侯爷是个值得交的朋友，却不易结交得上。
世界上最难能可贵的，不是爱情，而是友情——真挚的友情。
真正的朋友不多，只要能交上一两个，也就死而无憾了，所以龙四交上小雷，他已心满意足。他要小雷去见小侯爷，也许认为他们可以结交成朋友吧。
小雷怀着无比沉痛的心情，帮着欧阳急料理镖局的善后。他们两人成了朋友。
欧阳急忽然想起一个问题，那就是那天夜里，司徒令为什么突然下令收兵，放了小雷一条生路？小雷也想不出答案。这两天他心情太坏，并不急于见小侯爷。
可是，小侯爷派人送来了帖子，柬邀小雷赴王府一叙。小雷拿不定主意，征询欧阳急的意见。
欧阳急自告奋勇道：“我陪你去。”
小雷无法拒绝。他虽不愿去巴结小侯爷，但龙四希望他去见见这个人，他就不得不去。
二人相偕来到王府，小侯爷闻报，立即亲自出迎。
小雷对小侯爷的第一印象，是这个人并没有架子。
在他的想像中，小侯爷一定是趾高气扬，目中无人的花花公子，结果他的判断错了。
小侯爷对他敬若上宾，特地准备丰盛酒菜，殷勤招待他们。
酒过三巡，小侯爷忽道：“小弟明天成婚，二位能赏光吗？”
小雷跟欧阳急交换一下眼色，道：“我今夜就要走了。”
小侯爷道：“不能多留一二日？”
Xiao Lei shook his head.欧阳急代为补充道：“他急于去找寻一个人……”
小侯爷笑问：“一两天也不能耽搁？”
小雷又摇了摇头。
欧阳急道：“如果知道下落，他一两个时辰也不愿耽搁的。”
小侯爷道：“既然尚不知道下落，耽搁一天又有何妨，雷兄若不嫌弃，务必赏光，明天喝过小弟的喜酒再走。”
小雷在盛情难却下，勉强答应了。小侯爷不动声色，但心里在笑。这是一个重大的决定。
他明知这不是明智之举，甚至会弄巧成拙，却必须接受这重大的考验。
因为他很自负，更需要证明纤纤将永远真正属于他。
王府一早就开始张灯结彩，忙碌起来。里里外外，一片喜气洋洋。纤纤又垂着头了。她不知是心情过于兴奋，还是心事重重。她终于改变了自己的命运，如愿以偿，使梦想成为事实，今天，她即将成为小侯爷的妻子。但是，她的心情仍然很矛盾。金川说的不错，她一生只爱一个人，那就是小雷。
小侯爷悄然走进房来，一直走近她身边，她尚浑然未觉。她垂着头，想出了神。
小侯爷默默注视她片刻，始轻唤一声：“纤纤！”
纤纤微觉一惊，抬头微笑道：“你什么时候进来的？”
小侯爷伸手按在她香肩上，笑问：“纤纤，你在想什么？是想那个姓雷的？”
纤纤神色微变，嗔声道：“我已经告诉过你，早就忘掉了这么个人。”
小侯爷道：“真的？”
纤纤断然道：“如果我没有这个决心，就不会把一切告诉你了。”
小侯爷笑道：“我相信你。不过，假使有一天你再见到他呢？”
纤纤忿声道：“我这一辈子也不愿再见到他。”
小侯爷追问：“如果见到了呢？”
纤纤毫不犹豫道：“我就当不认识他。”小侯爷满意地笑了，这是从他心里发出的。
纤纤忽问：“你为什么突然问我这个问题？”
小侯爷置之一笑道：“也许我是心血来潮吧。”纤纤嫣然一笑，又垂下了头。
The lights are on.侯爷半年前奉旨出京，携眷同行，现在小侯爷是一家之主。
他等不及双亲回来，就急于完婚，自有他不得已的苦衷，好在他是独生子，他无论怎么做，事后都可以获得双亲的谅解。
今天他没有请任何诸亲好友，请的都是些武林高手，江湖人物。
这些人是今天才临时接到请帖，纷纷赶来道贺的。
小侯爷广结江湖人物，就像有些人喜欢赌博，酗酒，好色一样，是一种嗜好。
小雷从不失信，他答应过小侯爷要来的，所以他来了。
欧阳急没有来，因为他是有名气的镖头，不愿在江湖人物面前丢脸，看到他突然变成了独臂将军。
贺客已到了很多，气氛很热闹。
小雷不认识他们，也不愿跟这些江湖人物打交道，他只是坐在那里等喝喜酒，喝完就走。
小侯爷忙着招呼客人，似乎未发现小雷已经来了。
忽然有个丫鬟来到小雷面前道：“雷公子，小侯爷请你到后院来一下，他要单独见你。”
小雷点点头，跟着丫鬟来到后院。
丫鬟带他到厢房门口道：“雷公子请里边稍候，小侯爷立刻就来。”
小雷径自走进房，发现这竟是洞房。牙床上坐着个新娘打扮的女人，垂着头。
他暗自一怔，正待退出房，那女人忽然抬起头。她尚未垂下面布。
这张脸，小雷太熟悉了，做梦也不会忘记——这是纤纤的脸。
纤纤更认得，站在那里发愣的就是小雷，他们同时怔住了。
小雷突然冲向前，激动地叫道：“纤纤……”
纤纤只进出一个字：“你……”她又垂下了头，泪珠涔涔而下。
一声轻咳，惊动了他们，两个人不约而同向房门口看去，走进来的是小侯爷。
小侯爷的脸上毫无表情，道：“你要找的人是她吗？”
小雷没有说话，他不知该说什么。纤纤把头垂得更低了。
小侯爷又道：“现在你见到她了，你有什么要对她说的？”
小雷摇摇头，仍然无话可说。
他转身要走，纤纤突然叫道：“小侯爷，你为什么带他来见我？”
小侯爷道：“我必须证实一件事，那就是你见到他之后，会不会改变主意。”
纤纤断然道：“我对他的心早已死了。”
小侯爷眼光盯住她道：“他呢？”
纤纤恨声道：“他的心里根本没有我。”
小雷用力咬着自己的下唇，痛不在嘴唇上，而是在心里。他仍然一言不发，保持着缄默。
小侯爷眼光移向他道：“你可以走了。”
小雷点点头，没有说话，向房外走去。
纤纤突然站起，情不自禁地叫道：“雷……我要问你一句话。”
小雷站住了，没有回身。
纤纤冲到他身后道：“你为什么找我？”
小雷终于说话了：“我只要告诉你，那晚你若不走，就会像我全家一样被赶尽杀绝。”
纤纤惊说道：“你说什么？”
小雷道：“你只要问我一句话，我已经回答了，其他的又何必再问……”
他刚举步，小侯爷忽道：“你急于要找到她，就为了要告诉她这两句话？”
Xiao Lei nodded.
小侯爷道：“不见得吧，如果她今晚不是跟我成婚，你找到了她呢？”
小雷道：“我还是告诉她，同样的这两句话。”
小侯爷道：“哦？你说全家被赶尽杀绝，为什么你还活着？”
小雷道：“也许我活着，就是为了找她，告诉她这两句话。”
小侯爷突然大笑道：“这只怪你交错了朋友，如果我比金川先认识你，也许我们会成为朋友的。”
小雷道：“我只有一个朋友，但他已经死了，以后我也不会再交任何朋友，所以不必担心再交错朋友。”
小侯爷问道：“你的朋友是龙四？”小雷点点头，眼眶里有泪光。
小侯爷笑了笑道：“除了他之外，难道救过你命的人也不算朋友？”
小雷道：“我的命不值钱，而且早已不属于我自己。”
小侯爷道：“不值钱？早知道我就不必忍痛牺牲一件家传至宝，白白便宜司徒令了。”
小雷回过身来，诧然道：“你说什么？”
小侯爷道：“告诉你吧，那夜血雨门到镖局找龙四寻仇，是我
