General

"When sneaking, you can't breathe out of the water, master...you can only rely on me to breathe for him..." Qiu Yang looked at Lan Jing with some hesitation, expecting and fearing at the same time.

"No..." Lan Jing opened her mouth in astonishment, looking at Li Xuan's handsome face that had darkened in an instant, she managed to squeeze out two words, saying that it was to save her breath, wouldn't that be the same as...kissing together? ?

Just when the three of them were stunned for a while, the hull suddenly trembled violently, and there were several clear cracking sounds between the decks, and the speed of sinking slowly accelerated instantly.

"Take him away!" Li Xuan turned his head coldly, but his eyes were colder than ever before. He swung his sword and pierced a man's chest fiercely, and kicked the blood-stained corpse far away. , and shouted at Ling Feng not far away, "Go to their boat and block for a while!"

"Yes!" Ling Feng squinted his eyes and looked around. There were probably no more than ten people left, but there were still water bandits jumping off the big boat.He immediately gritted his teeth and raised his sword, resisting the discomfort of being surrounded by the river, and jumped onto the opponent's boat.

Torches were gradually lit on the opposite ship, and in the flickering flames, Ling Feng's black figure suddenly landed on the deck, and there was a sudden fierce fighting around him.

"Li Xuan!" Lan Jing looked at Qiu Yang, turned her head and yelled at Li Xuan unwillingly, if Qiu Yang took her away, the boat would sink, how would he get out? !

"Shut up! Let me go now!!" Li Xuan turned his head and pointed at Qiu Yang with the cold tip of his sword. His blood-red eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist. His lips trembled a little, but his voice Very fierce.

Qiu Yang shook his head, and without waiting for Lan Jing to react, he took a deep breath, pulled him to jump, and both of them fell into the icy river.

The whole world fell silent in an instant.

Lan Jing only felt as if countless sharp knives pierced her whole body at the same time, it was so bone-piercingly cold.

He couldn't open his eyes, he couldn't breathe, the river water poured into his ears and nasal cavity desperately, oppressing his chest, he struggled violently in panic, but he could only keep sinking. Pained enough to cry.

Li Xuan...

help me! !

He stretched out his hands desperately, but there was an empty abyss around him.It was too cold, his body had gradually started to stiffen, unable to struggle, and finally he could only close his eyes in despair, letting himself slowly sink down.

Qiu Yang quickly sneaked up to Lan Jing's side, and wrapped his arms around his waist again. At the moment when his skin touched, Lan Jing climbed over him as if grabbing a life-saving straw, her whole body was trembling.

Qiu Yang's water skills are excellent, even with a person in his arms, he can still swim fast in the water.The shaking torches, the piercing sword light, and the horrific fighting, all of which were gradually left behind by him, but Lan Jing also gradually became unconscious in the bone-eating cold.

The feeling of suffocation became more and more intense, and his body became more and more rigid. The fear of death suddenly came to his mind, causing him to let go of the arm that was desperately holding on to Qiu Yang, and his whole body struggled in confusion.

Qiu Yang knew that he couldn't bear it any longer. For an ordinary person, the time he could hold his breath was not long, and with the innate fear of water, the remaining breath became even more difficult to maintain.

He was ruthless, stretched out his hand to wrap around the back of Lanjing's neck, closed his eyes slightly, and kissed his lips cautiously.

A trace of air slowly passed between the lips and teeth, and Lan Jing greedily inhaled it into his chest cavity in a blur of consciousness. At this moment, he only felt that the whole person seemed to be alive again.

Qiu Yang himself frowned in pain, his slender fingers tightly held Lan Jing's wrist, turned around, and continued to swim forward quickly.

……

The fighting on the big ship continued, Ling Fengqiang supported his crumbling body, and repelled the water bandits that surrounded him tightly time and time again.

But Li Xuan was fighting with two skilled leaders.The icy sword energy whizzed past, opening several wounds quietly again, and his movements were stretched everywhere due to the exhaustion of physical strength.

Just when Li Xuan was caught off guard, the other party's long sword slashed fiercely across his chest, and the blood-stained skirt of his clothes instantly shattered.

A faint light flashed lightly, and the jade pendant hanging on Li Xuan's chest was cut off by a sharp blade, and flew far away with the sword energy.The small golden silk gourd soon landed on the sloping deck and was rolling towards the water surface.

Li Xuan's eyes froze, he didn't care about the situation around him, he turned around immediately, raised his long sword and rushed towards the jade pendant, finally grabbing the golden silk gourd before it rolled into the river. hands.

But the next moment, the person couldn't stand still and fell hard into the cold water below his knees.

The other party saw that he left him to pick up things regardless of his care, how could he waste this great opportunity?Immediately raised the sword and chased after him, and stabbed straight at his heart when he fell.

Li Xuan only felt a sword qi whizzing towards him, but his body was submerged in the water and he had no time to escape. He raised his head and stared at the opponent with those deep black eyes. come over.

Li Xuan didn't dodge, but grabbed the long sword that fell on the deck, and met him face to face, as if they were going to die together.

The man's pupils shrank sharply, and he subconsciously wanted to stop, but it was too late.

As the saying goes, when encountering a narrow road, the brave wins. His timidity at this moment finally became his fatal weakness. With a burst of blood splashing, Li Xuan was pierced through his lower abdomen, but his chest felt cold, and he was stabbed into the heart by a sharp knife.

……

Li Xuan frowned in pain, and pulled out the long sword on his body fiercely. The warm blood kept gushing out of the wound, and smeared along his torn robe.He wiped away the blood splattered on the side of his face, and pressed the wound tightly with his gown, but the scarlet all over his body made him look embarrassed at this moment.

At this moment, Ling Feng's eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was drenched in blood, which was even more frightening.In the dark night, he held the long sword horizontally alone, standing coldly among the corpses everywhere like a hell Shura who had just broken free from the shackles.

The water bandits surrounding him held sharp knives, but they shrank from his overwhelming aura and dared not move forward.

The sudden scream from the boat caught everyone's attention. Ling Feng followed the prestige cautiously from the corner of his eye, and saw Li Xuan standing on the only remaining foothold on the deck, continuing to fight with another leader.He bowed in pain and tightly covered the wound with his hands, but the blood still couldn't stop gushing from his fingers.

The hull of the boat had completely sunk into the water, and the wooden deck was floating wildly with the wind and waves. The leader of the water bandits pressed on every step of the way, but Li Xuan could only deal with it with difficulty.After more than ten strokes, he finally fell into the water violently during a violent bump of the ship...

Ling Feng was so startled that his eyes froze, and immediately blasted a sword energy all over his body, fighting his fate with his internal strength, and darted towards Li Xuan's direction.

The river had already overwhelmed the boat, so he could only fall into the calf-deep water. The bone marrow-piercing coldness flooded into his mind crazily along with the memories of the past, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably again.

……

Blood……

There was blood all over the place, and the eyes were bloodshot.

Almost stung his eyes...

The boy slowly fell to sit on the icy ground, his wet eyes still a little dull, the man in front of him was smashed to pieces with a precious blue and white porcelain vase, blood dripped all over the ground.In the past, even though he was the young master of Yujianzong, he was only practicing martial arts, so far, he did not expect that the first time his fingertips were bloodied, but he was in such a situation...

The man was naked, with his eyes wide open, but his empty eyes and his stiff body declared the end of his life.

"Hey... don't die..." The boy shook his fingers slightly and pushed lightly on his shoulder, but the cold body temperature made him gasp heavily.

he killed...

Kill the man who bought his first night from the old bustard at a high price.

Even though he has already fallen into dust and dust, he still cannot accept the fate of being shackled like a whore.

There was a buzzing in his head, and his breathing became more and more rapid.He grabbed the clothes that had been torn into rags and tightened them tightly on his chest, curled up in the corner alone and waited for the end to come.

Noisy footsteps gradually came from far to near, the sandalwood door was kicked open, and a group of strong men came in with vicious faces.

"Report to the official?! Sister Liu!" The man in the lead had a rough and scary voice. He looked at the tragic situation in the room, then turned and looked out the door.

Liu Qing dragged an incomparably gorgeous long dress, squeezed in through the crowd, took a closer look into the room, and immediately took two steps back, so scared that Huarong paled, and exclaimed: "You! Eldest young master, he was beaten to death!!"

She raised her hand to support the strong man, like a weak willow supporting the wind, remembering how ruthless she acted before, she wondered if she was really so afraid at this moment.

"What about this kid?"

The two nurses had already stepped forward to lift the boy up. Liu Qing looked up, and saw his bright eyes wide open in horror, his whole body trembling slightly, and his two bare feet being dragged half-kneeling. On the ground, the bruising traces of being abused just now can be vaguely seen among the broken clothes.

"What's the use of reporting to the official? Send someone to ask the master of the Zhen family what he means..." Liu Qing stood there and panted for a moment, then finally turned away her gaze coldly, turned and walked out the door, "I'm afraid this time There is really no way out..."

……

The Zhen family soon came with a group of ferocious servants, threw him almost naked in the thick snow outside the brothel, tied a hemp rope around his wrists, and slowly dragged him along the market in full view of everyone.

Crossing a few main streets and walking a few small roads, he dragged the boy whose lips were purple with cold to the river in the bitter cold.

The Zhen family is very powerful, although countless people stopped to watch and sighed secretly, none of them dared to stand up and intercede for him.His back was scratched to pieces by the rough gravel on the road, and the few strands of tattered cloth could not cover the skin that was open to prying eyes at will, and the cold snow around him was stained with bright red streaks.He was powerless to plead, and he was choked up and unable to make a sound, so he could only close his eyes tightly, endure the heart-piercing pain, and wait for the next torture.

He knew that he was going to die.

After he has tasted all the pain and humiliation, he will pay for that man...

In my memory, the river water in winter is so cold, just like this rushing river water, it is heart-piercingly cold.

He was supported by two domestic servants, lying on his stomach in the almost frozen river, the powerful palms held his head and neck tightly, and pressed down desperately.

Cold or suffocation, he didn't know which would be more painful. The boy's handsome body was struggling desperately, but how could a child who had lost all his internal strength by the poison resist the restraint of two burly men? !

"Drown him alive and pay for my son's life!" Patriarch Zhen's gloomy voice sounded in his mind again, but he gradually lost his last strength in the futile struggle.

so painful...

The icy river water was like a ghost strangling his throat fiercely, and his whole body seemed to be torn apart by life, and there was no pain anywhere.He sank at the bottom of the river, and the feeling of dying was so clear, so clear after so many years... still deep in his bone marrow...
