Refinement

Su Yulian fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed, his fatigue gradually eased, and he sighed comfortably.He vaguely felt that someone was speaking in his ear, but what he was talking about was his long memory. "You—you were born here, grew up here, like me—lived with them. You are the young master here, and your father loves you very much, so everyone here treats you very well. They always Leave the best things for you to choose first, take care of your food and daily life, and even help you drive away the cicadas and birds when you are concentrating on reading—”

In front of my eyes - there is blood all over the place, there are no cicadas and flying birds, only suffocating panic.

Su Yulian vaguely understood that this was a dream, but he couldn't break free. The voice said again: "This used to be the place where you stayed most often. The apprentices were practicing martial arts on the field, and you watched from the outside. You never entered the field, and you were never absent. , you like to observe their moves and routines, and occasionally you can help them with a point or two."

In the martial arts arena, weeds are overgrown, and there is no one.

"You have good eyes and a good brain. You don't need to practice at all, you can defeat people with words, and you only need one move."

"I'm also very good, better than everyone here, even your father - your father is not my opponent. So I am here, mostly watching other people practice martial arts. Sometimes you will ask me to play chess with me, I But rarely beat you."

"I was inattentive at the time, and what I was thinking about was not how to win chess."

"You are not my opponent." Su Yulian's heart suddenly cracked, the ambiguity of these words was too great.

The two chess players finally appeared in the dream. Su Yulian stretched out her hand to touch the person opposite, but felt that she couldn't control the person in the dream. She only watched him chatting useless words, filled with hatred in her heart, and her face A tentative camouflage that does not change color.The screen suddenly changed, and the game between two people turned into two people drinking against each other.There was another voice, which was Su Yulian's own words: "Then! You killed my father, was it for money or for weapons! You can take care of a stray dog ​​in every possible way, and help the homeless people, why are you so unkind to my father?" Injustice?! Even—"

Luo Xian took Su Yulian's hand and told him not to drink, his voice was more severe than usual: "Alcohol is poisonous!"

Su Yulian clamored in her heart: I know, why don't you take care of yourself!Then he seemed a little proud to watch the person in front of him collapse weakly, lying on the table without moving.

At that time, Luo Xian didn't die, Su Yulian reminded himself over and over again that he was dreaming, but his heart ached unbearably, it seemed that the dagger on his arm had pierced into his heart, it hurt but he didn't want to resist and blame.

"Luo Xian—" A vague sense of suffocation entangled him in the panic, and he finally struggled to open his eyes.

It really was a dream, it really——

Before dawn, he sat up and called out, "Liu Ying! Where's Luo Xian?"

Liu Ying got down from the beam and responded softly, "Master has already fallen asleep at this hour."

"Go and see him—" Before he finished speaking, there was a flash of sword light outside the window, and there was a faint sound of fighting.Su Yulian sat up from the bed and asked nervously, "Is there an assassin?"

"There are guards outside, and Liu Xia is in charge of the night patrol, it's no problem."

"Luo Xian! Why do people always want to kill him?"

Liu Ying froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "Sleep peacefully, I'll be here all the time, and it will take a while before dawn."

Su Yulian also felt that she made too much fuss, and Luo Xian should often encounter such things.But because that disturbing dream made him very uneasy, he struggled for a while, then got dressed and said, "I think it's better to go and see him."

Liu Ying didn't speak, and quietly followed Su Yulian. Just as Su Yulian opened the door, a silver dart came towards him. It was too late to hide. Su Yulian closed his eyes subconsciously, but only heard the sound of weapons rubbing and colliding, and the dart was hit. fell to the ground.Liu Xia smiled from not far away: "Young master is frightened, just wait for me, and deal with it immediately!" After the words fell, the messy courtyard fell silent together, the black-clothed assassin lay dead on the ground, only one barely The panting female assassin was held in Liu Xia's arms and couldn't move.

Su Yulian suddenly realized that these assassins were outside his room, and the target should not be Luo Xian but himself.Can't help asking: "Who wants to kill me?"

Liu Xia grabbed the female assassin's hand, took the dagger in her hand and stabbed the female assassin's bleeding wound and said, "I'm asking you something, who sent you here?"

"Ah! It hurts! If you have the ability, you kill me!"

Liu Xia stroked down the wound with his hand: "If you have the ability, you commit suicide—"

The female assassin's body shook a little, she was about to faint from the pain, she gritted her teeth and said viciously: "If you have the ability, let me live—"

"If you have the ability to tell who is behind the scenes—"

"Ah! It's Murong's family! Liang Jiaren killed the chief minister, and sooner or later she will die in our hands!"

Liu Xia let go of the female assassin and threw it on the ground: "You go."

Su Yulian: "Wait a minute! How did you find me? Why are you sure I'm Liang Jiaren?"

The female assassin looked at him like an idiot: "How can you be sure, is there any other Liang Jiaren in this world? Just because of the smell on your body, you will definitely not admit it—"

smell?Su Yulian saw the dead little wolfdog in the pool of blood with its eyes open, looking at him pitifully. "It's really careless. I thought I was going to see other people's excitement, but I became the excitement myself."

Su Yulian smiled, turned to look at Liu Xia: "Where is Luo Xian?"

"The master is in the east courtyard, I hope he hasn't been disturbed."

"I want to see him."

Liu Xia: "You do what you want."

Su Yulian followed Liu Xia's direction to Luo Xian's room, opened the door lightly and entered, Luo Xian had already woken up and was sitting on the side of the bed.She was not surprised to see Su Yulian, and beckoned him to come to her.Su Yulian's heart was full of melancholy, seeing Luo Xian's raised hand, the haze in his heart suddenly dissipated.But he said, "Why are you awake?"

"Thinking about something, not falling asleep."

"Thinking about what?"

"Think about your business, come back to the capital with me, I will take good care of you."

Su Yulian: "Why?"

"I don't want you to die."

"Why don't you want me to die?"

"It's just that I don't want to."

Su Yulian: "Want to sleep with me?"

"..." Luo Xian felt helpless, "Why do you have to sleep?"

Su Yulian: "Maybe I want to prove something."

Luo Xian looked at him and thought for a while, then nodded in embarrassment, "Then—come here."

Su Yulian walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. Luo Xian stretched out his hand to stop his waist, and with a little force, he hugged Su Yulian into the bed, covered the back with the quilt, and lay down himself, wrapping around Su Yulian's waist, softly whispering in his ear Said: "Don't think wildly, after Murong De's funeral is done in a few days, we will return to the capital."

Su Yulian didn't speak, but she wasn't disappointed either, she shrank into Luo Xian's arms and fell asleep after a while.
