Refinement

dusk, sunset.The familiar suffocating blood-colored clouds spread across the sky, as if you can still smell the bloody smell that was expanded by the rain that day, passing through the long mountain road of Chishui Villa, where there is a high gate, and Luo has lived leisurely for a long time, like A place like home.All his joys and sorrows, all his emotional belongings are buried there.

The villa was empty. After the bloodbath, it became an ominous place, and few people approached it.The craftsmen who forged weapons here brought their unique skills to the earth, but the sickly young owner here unexpectedly lived for so long.

As expected, Luo Xian walked to the place where they often played chess, and saw Su Yulian, who was sitting there making tea, his eyes no longer had the initial resentment, but were as calm as water.The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be smiles in their eyes.

Su Yulian invited him to take a seat, and the tea was handed to him: "I didn't expect you to come."

Luo Xian: "If I don't come, where should I go?"

Su Yulian wanted to say that the imperial concubine of the capital had given birth to a son, that the false Princess Fushan had been questioned, that the messy Hou Mansion seemed to have been emptied, that Fang Yu’s family had escaped from the capital, that there were a lot of things going on outside. thing, want to say——

"Are you here to save me?"

Luo Xian drank the tea he gave, and his reaction was a little slow: "Are you in danger?"

"Then what are you doing here?"

Luo Xian: "Maybe it's because the word 'back' sounds better. If you say back, I'll reply."

Su Yulian: "Have you ever regretted it? I mean, all these years, from going out here to the things that happened afterward, do you have any regrets?"

"There's nothing I regret, I can't even remember what I've done, who I've met all these years - I seem to have a strange dream, with you in the dream, everything is as usual, without you in the dream , I seem to be missing a piece. I can tell you what you want to hear now, and I still have the strength to do what you want to do, so I can also cooperate with you. "

Su Yulian handed over a cup of tea: "You drink this water, how is it different from usual?"

"Yes—maybe it's because there was stuffy air in my chest that suddenly cleared up."

Su Yulian: "Dizzy?"

"As soon as you said it, I felt a little sleepy. What did you add to the water?"

Su Yulian: "Aren't you afraid that it might be a dog?"

Luo Xian didn't answer him, and lay down on the table.This scene was so similar to the previous one, Su Yulian looked at him with a sense of loss, why didn't he realize that the person in front of him who thought he was very powerful could easily be manipulated by him.

Liang Jiaren appeared, looking at everything in front of her, she was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "He has said everything you want to hear?"

"What?"

"You want him to get drunk once, because you just want to hear him tell the truth after drinking."

Su Yulian: "I don't know what I want to do, nor what I can do."

Liang Jiaren's bright red clothes seemed to be the only color around her. He held Luo Xian's shoulders and looked at Su Yulian with a scary smile: "Aren't you afraid - what I gave you is □□?"

Su Yulian froze for a moment, an ominous premonition spread all over his body, all the incomprehensions about Liang Jiaren before made sense, he is not a simple and harmless person, his appearance is a disaster, it is true for Murong Miao, and it is also true for Su Yulian Same.His hands couldn't help shaking suddenly, and Su Yulian hid them in his sleeves.Liang Jiaren lowered her eyebrows and pretended not to see it, and described lightly: "I know you don't care about anything, and I didn't tell you in advance. He will soon enter a hangover state, and he will talk a lot - the secret buried in his heart, If he is in a good state, he might hold your hand and tell you, or look at you affectionately, and then die in his dream—thinking about it, your wish will be fulfilled."

Su Yulian looked at him with a cold and stern face: "Be clear, what is your purpose?"

Liang Jiaren said darkly and indifferently: "I know you are happy, I want ghost weapons."

Su Yulian sneered: "I don't know where it is."

"I know where it is, it's been with me all the time, but I can't touch it, what I want is a map."

Su Yulian: "That thing is at Murong De's place, and it may be at Murong Miao's place now—Luo Xian may also know about it, but I—"

Liang Jiaren was not in a hurry, and said leisurely: "That's all fake, the real map is engraved on your dagger. You gave it to your mother, but your mother didn't have it, so I can only come back to you, I know it will help me find it."

Su Yulian: "I can't remember at the moment—"

"I can wait for you, and this person can also wait—four or five days? I'm not sure. The specific situation depends on whether his foundation is good or not. You have also learned some medical skills. When he is about to die, you will definitely be able to I can feel it."

The man in red left arrogantly, leaving behind a gray-haired pigeon.

"Use it to contact me."

Su Yulian's nails dug into the flesh.Luo Xian fell asleep, and Su Yulian seemed to have never seen him sleeping peacefully. He was always vigilant about everything around him, but he was not defensive against Su Yulian, or he was happy to let Su Yulian hurt himself.The pain in his hand could hardly make Su Yulian wake up. Apart from blaming himself, he also had a little bit of joy in his heart. His heart felt as if he had drunk alcohol, feeling comfortable and sore.

The two of them were left in the empty Chishui Villa, but they didn't feel lonely.He got up to help Luo Xian, carried him to the room and put him down, then rolled up his sleeves and started to clean the room.Originally, due to physical reasons, he seldom cleaned, and he didn't pay much attention to his clothing. Now that he came back to this place, he was in a strange mood, as if only by cleaning the environment around him could he clear away the demonic obstacles in his heart.

He worked from afternoon to sunset, lighting the lamps, and never fell asleep.

Luo Xian did not sleep comfortably, he frowned from time to time, as if he was trying very hard to wake up.Su Yulian prepared some clear water near him and helped him to drink, but he opened his eyes directly. This seemed to be a lot of effort for him, but he still tried his best to hold on, staring at Su Yulian's profile.

Su Yulian: "Drink water."

He opened his mouth obediently and cooperated with him obediently.

"Go to sleep then."

Luo Xian refused to close his eyes, and opened his mouth hoarsely: "Hungry——"

Su Yulian put him down, took the roasted sweet potato from the table, peeled off the skin, tore a piece and handed it to his mouth, and said softly: "I can't find anything suitable to eat nearby, so you will just make do with it."

Luo took a sip, stretched his neck to ask for water, took another sip, and asked for water, and so on and on, and finally ate half a sweet potato. After this busy work, Su Yu was sweating all over, and complained in a low voice: "You don't look like a sweet potato!" A hangover is clearly a serious illness."

Luo Xian heard the words, looked at him with a smile, and said in a hoarse voice, "You are so pretty."

Su Yulian shook his head and sighed: "Otherwise, you can continue to sleep for a while, force your eyes open, and look so pitiful."

"sleep together?"

"I am not sleepy."

Luo Xian put his arms around Su Yulian's waist: "You'll be sleepy in a while—" The hoarse voice seemed a little seductive, Su Yulian even looked a little angry, glared at him, and didn't move.

Luo Xian didn't know where the strength came from, and wrapped his arms around Su Yulian's back to the top of his head, gently supported the back of his head as if to comfort him, and looked at his face quietly, as if saying: Don't worry, I'm here.

Su Yulian looked back at him, and whispered softly: I didn't expect you to be so idle.

There was wind outside the window, Su Yulian wanted to get up and close the window, Luo Xian pulled him to keep him from moving, after a while, the door was pushed open, Liu Ying bowed to say hello, and briefly reported: "Master's bodyguards and cronies have come."

"Can you find out Liang Jiaren's whereabouts?"

Liu Ying nodded: "Haven't left Chishui area yet."

"Is there any movement from the Xu family in Jicheng?"

Liu Ying: "There are not many people who follow Liang Muyin's orders, no more than 30 people in total."

"A lot." There were ten swordsmen in white clothes in the Xu family. Su Yulian sighed, "The most troublesome thing is Xu Chengxi, who took my Chengguang sword and was going to point the sword at me. You go there yourself." Keep an eye on Xu Chengxi, and try not to let him meet Liang Jiaren."

Liu Ying bowed: "Yes."

Liuying's voice was crisp and sharp, and Luo looked at Su Yulian lazily, as if dissatisfied: "My subordinate, is it easy for you to use it?"

Su Yulian ignored him, raised his voice to call Liu Xiao, and waited for the others to carefully arrange a few things before turning around and talking to Luo Xian: "It's easiest to exchange a knife for the antidote, but I'm afraid that the small knife I carry with me may be someone looking for it for a while. Not anymore. You have to suffer a little bit, we will start from the side named Xu, and grind the arrogance of Liang Jiaren."

Luo Xian: "What are you going to do?"

"Use that twin lock, it's such a good thing."

Luo Xian: "I remember the things your father made specially for your mother back then."

Su Yulian grinned: "If people can be locked up, my mother will not leave my father. Then Xu Chengxi is a fool, and he brought a hardened weapon to himself."

"It's luck to live and die with the one you love."

Su Yulian looked at him: "Will you die with me?"

"I should ask you this—"

Su Yulian turned his head away: "After this incident is over, I will escort you to the mountains and forests, move the things my father used there, and force you to practice weapons every day, and then build a villa and take in a bunch of apprentices—"

Luo Xian rested his chin on Su Yulian's shoulder, turned his head and said, "Isn't this place very good, we can change the brand, and it will cost a lot of money to rebuild."

Su Yulian frowned: "Are you drunk?"

"I'm not drunk."

"That's because the medicine is good. You are in a state of hangover now."

Luo Xian: "You always wanted me to get drunk once?"

Su Yulian remembered Liang Jiaren's words, nodded but was not sure: "Maybe, I don't know what I want. I-I hope you are not you, but I can't change this fact. I hope you like me desperately, and that doesn't matter. possible--"

Luo Xian: "I didn't know you thought this way before, I thought you only regarded me as a big brother and only hated me for being ungrateful."

Su Yulian noticed that Luo Xian had the strength to sit up, and his face looked more energetic than before, so he asked, "How do you feel now?"

"It turns out that I'm not the only one who is abnormal, and you are too."

Su Yulian: "Do you still feel dizzy? I see that you are much more energetic."

Luo Xian smiled, more relaxed and natural than any time Su Yulian had seen before, he said: "I am a little dizzy, but I am dizzy and happy. By the way, you just said how you want to use the twin lock?"

"When we see Xu Chengxi, he will come back to find us soon."

It was said to be very fast, and they waited until noon the next day, when Xu Chengxi sat on a branch, his white clothes fluttering, quiet and sunny.It's hard to imagine that such a clean person would be so obsessed with Liang Jiaren and ruin himself.

Su Yulian stood in front of the door and called out, "Second Brother Xu."

Xu Chengxi seemed to be laughing, and his voice was hearty and pure: "It's been a long time, you gave me this sword, and I use it very easily."

"As long as the second brother likes it."

Xu Chengxi threw down a pack of warm steamed buns into Su Yulian's arms: "You didn't come to me just to let me deliver food to you, did you?"

Su Yulian sent the steamed stuffed bun into the house, came out and said, "Second Brother, you plan to sit on the tree and talk to me?"

"I have something urgent to go."

Su Yulian: "I know you are anxious to find Liang Jiaren, I can help you."

Xu Chengxi was a little unhappy, and his voice was a little cold: "You also know him?"

"No, I happen to know some of his friends in Shuangqi."

Xu Chengxi touched the branch with the tip of his sword, and his whole body floated up from the branch and stood firmly on the branch.Seeing that he was about to leave, Su Yulian hurriedly said, "Second brother! He has already looked for me! You stay, and you will definitely see him again."

"I can find him myself."

Su Yulian breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly, "Don't you want to know what he asked me for?"

"Tell me about it."

Su Yulian: "My father created a twin lock, and at the same time prepared a way to unlock it."

Xu Chengxi: "He came to ask you to unlock it?"

Su Yulian: "I don't even know how I offended him, but he hurt the most important person in me. The method of poisoning was clever and cruel, which caught me off guard and made me realize that I was no match for him at all."

"He, come, look for, you, open, lock?"

Su Yulian nodded solemnly.

Xu Chengxi pointed the tip of his sword at Su Yulian's neck, and said coldly, "You're lying!"

Su Yulian was not afraid, and looked into his eyes: "Second brother, how long has it been since I saw him? If I know him well enough, is it worth chasing him out and looking for him? I don't know him very well. I don't know when he is by your side. , are you sure you know what he's thinking?"

"He put on the twin lock voluntarily." Xu Cheng breathed a little confused.

Su Yulian was uncomfortable for a moment, but he quickly covered it up.He said: "Presumably his act of voluntarily locking the lock has brought great benefits."

Xu Chengxi suddenly withdrew his sword, turned his back and said, "I'll stay."

Su Yulian wanted to ask something, Xu Chengxi nodded his toes, climbed over the roof, and went to another courtyard.Su Yulian curled her lips, regretfully said: "I still want to ask some more questions, I ran so fast!"

Luo Xian didn't know when he was leaning against the door. Although he wasn't very energetic, he didn't have any symptoms of deep poisoning. He looked at Su Yulian with joy that he couldn't hide: "What do you want to know?"

"It's nothing."

Luo Xian: "Are you sure he will help you?"

"No."

"Then what's the use of you looking for him?"

Su Yulian didn't answer him, but instead asked, "Do you know where my knife is?"

Luo Xian paused, and said reluctantly, "It's in my hands."

"what?"
