Byron's Blade

The soft-soled cloth shoes on her feet stepped lightly on the stone-paved road, and the night wind blew her long hair that was casually tied behind her head, and the sleeves of her loose robe were also blown by the wind.Shaoyun, the moon in the middle of the sky sprinkled silver light, covering her.How many years have passed, she is over fifty years old, she is still as beautiful as the fairy under the moon.

"Where is A Li, take me to see her." After greeting her, the first sentence was to ask where Mu Li was, as if she didn't care about Mu Xin standing in front of her, whether all these years were going well or not .

Mu Xin smiled, didn't say much, and took the lead to lead the way.Jiang Siyan lightly moved lotus steps and followed behind her, the rosary on her wrist was ringing.Jiang Sihuan didn't follow, he sighed, turned and left, and decided to give the "wife and wife" some private space.This pair of enemies, as the eldest brother, he has watched them from the sidelines since they were young girls, and watched them step by step to where they are now. Apart from being helpless, he really can't find any other words to describe them.

Mu Xin was born in a family of merchants. The Mu family is an important member of the Southeast United Business Alliance, and can be regarded as a subordinate branch of the Jiang family, the chairman of the business alliance.Her parents sent Mu Xin to Jiang's family as registered disciples when she was very young.The Jiang family's martial arts are well-known all over the world, and their academic methods are also quite strong. There are many great scholars in the family. The parents of these separated families are overwhelmed, just to compete for the 10 registered disciples every three years.

Mu Xin has been intelligent since she was a child, quick in thinking, and her physical ability is also outstanding among her peers. Not to mention the registered disciples who came in the same batch as her, even the direct descendants of the Jiang family who started to learn martial arts at that time, there were few who could compare with her. her.Around the time when Mu Xin was 15 years old, the family organized a civil and martial arts exam. Mu Xin's excellent results made the old patriarch at that time, Jiang Sihuan's father, favor her, and for the first time made her a direct disciple, and her status was even higher than that of the direct line The children are a little taller.

And Jiang Sihuan, as the eldest son of the old patriarch, was reprimanded by his father many times for not being as good as Mu Xin and not being a great weapon.No matter how hard he tried, his father seemed to only have this outstanding girl in his eyes.As the eldest son, he shoulders the burden of instigating the entire Jiang family. In contrast, Jiang Sihuan's two younger sisters spent their childhood and teenage years quite happily.

Jiang Siyan and Jiang Siwan, this pair of sisters are born beautiful and well-educated. When they were young, they attracted widespread attention from the upper class.The third sister, Jiang Siwan, has been stubborn since she was a child, and she does her own way. Because she is the youngest child in the family, everyone dotes on her, and she has developed a pampered young lady temper.She has a cheerful personality and likes to socialize. She was cute and cute when she was a girl, and she can chat with anyone.In your twenties, this quality becomes an unspeakable charm, a fatal attraction.Her future encounters are actually closely related to her personality and temper.

Compared with the outstanding performance of the third sister, the second sister Jiang Siyan seems to be much more low-key, and she is rarely seen in the social circle.Although the two sisters are always mentioned together, their personalities and thoughts are completely different.Jiang Siyan has a quiet personality. She likes to read and practice piano since she was a child. When she was about ten years old, she was already proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Fifteen or sixteen years old, with blooming youth, she has the luxurious demeanor of the eldest lady of the family. From the outsider's perspective, she is a little aloof and difficult to get close to.She was born weak and was not interested in martial arts, but her cultural attainments were enough to make up for her regrets.

The old Patriarch wanted her to inherit the family business and become the next generation Patriarch.The eldest son is not outstanding, but the eldest daughter is quite outstanding. Although she still needs to be polished in dealing with people, she will definitely be able to take on this important responsibility in time.But it is a pity that the Jiang family is based on martial arts. Martial arts is the fundamental source. If you don't know martial arts, it is difficult to convince others if you want to be a good family leader.The old Patriarch racked his brains, thought for a long time, and finally turned his attention to Mu Xin, who is outstanding in civil and martial arts.

If she can let Mu Xin marry and marry Jiang Siyan, she will definitely help Jiang Siyan inherit the Jiang family.At that time, the Jiang family will definitely enter a new period of development. With the abilities of these two people, the old Patriarch seems to see the prosperous scene of the Jiang family rising to a higher level.

However, the old Patriarch did not make a decision on his own to spoil his daughter, but wanted the two children to get along with each other for a while to see if it was suitable.

This attempt went astray.These two children, not to mention having any feelings for each other, are on the contrary competing with each other.Jiang Siyan is aloof in her bones, she refuses to accept Mu Xin.Although Mu Xin is a cheerful and kind boy with a warm smile all day long, for some reason, he and Miss Jiang got into a fight.She didn't use force to bully Jiang Siyan either, she just competed with her in literary matters.Every day, the voices of the two children can be heard arguing.

This situation continued for several years. At the age of 16, Mu Xin went out to serve in the military.Jiang Siyan was exempted from military service because of her frailty, and the Jiang family had a relationship and donated a sum of money. The two children were separated for a short time.Mu Xin served in the military for two years, and then served as a professional soldier for about three years. At the age of 21, it was a critical period for her career to rise. For some reason, she resolutely retired and returned to the Jiang family.

On the night of returning to Jiang's house, Mu Xin was drunk and spent the night in Jiang Siyan's room.The next morning, she pulled Jiang Siyan and stood in front of the old Patriarch. The two children blushed and asked the old Patriarch for marriage.

The old Patriarch thought that there was no hope for this matter, and was worrying. After hearing about it, he was ecstatic and started preparing for the wedding non-stop.As a result, the two enemies and children became married couples.

The life after marriage is quite happy. Ever since they got married, the old head of the family began to transfer many affairs of the Jiang family to the two of them bit by bit.Later, their only child was born, named Jiang Muli. The word "Li" comes from the "Ximingyuan" where Jiang Siyan lived since she was a child. It means dawn and dawn. I hope this child can become dawn and hope.

But the happy life came to an abrupt end when Jiang Muli was 7 years old.The family of three went to Gaia, and since then, Jiang Sihuan has never seen his "brother-in-law" and little niece again, and only his younger sister Jiang Siyan, who is ashamed, came back.Jiang Siyan said that she would never forgive Mu Xin in her life, she hated her to the bone.For her always calm and peaceful sister to say such words, one can imagine how much Mu Xin did to make her sad.

From then on, with simple tea and light food, the green lamp and ancient Buddha, his peerless younger sister, isolated himself from the world like this, as if she never existed.

The old Patriarch was so anxious that he fell seriously ill, failed to survive, and passed away.This family took several turns, and finally fell on the shoulders of his eldest son.

Counting the days, it will be almost 18 years. Mu Xin kept his promise and brought back his niece, Jiang Muli, who had been away for so many years, back to the Jiang family.But this poor child can't remember anything.He knew that his younger sister would definitely not be able to accept Jiang Muli's amnesia, so he simply put a powerful sleeping pill in the drink to make her fall asleep, which was better than the huge shock brought about by meeting directly.

So when Jiang Siyan followed Mu Xin to Mu Li's bedside, what she saw was her daughter, whom she hadn't seen in 17 years, reeking of alcohol, sound asleep.

The lights in the room were not turned on, Jiang Siyan stood by the bed, and looked at Mu Li carefully by the moonlight, inch by inch, her gaze was soft and loving.Why is the child's hair so short? It reminded her that when the child was 6 years old, I had let her have long black hair. The hair quality of her daughter was inherited from her, so she was born with it.But because of his mischievousness, he got into the Casting Pavilion to play, and his long hair was deformed by the hot molten iron, almost hurting his skin.There is no way, she reluctantly cut her daughter's hair into a short sports head, just like it is now.

Jiang Siyan sat by the bed, raised her hand, and gently stroked Mu Li's cheek.

She has grown taller, and when she stands up, she is afraid that she will be taller than herself, and she will no longer be that little soft little guy; she will no longer follow behind her, shouting "Mom, I want to hug"; she will never stand up again. In front of me, I am reciting Tang poems like a little adult with my hands on my back; I will no longer sit upright and say solemnly the childish dream of "helping the common people, who can give up me; my sons and daughters, united as one"...

My child, how did you...grow so big in the blink of an eye... Mom hasn't...haven't taken a good look at you...

Tears slid down from the corners of Jiang Siyan's eyes, rushing down, turbulent and unstoppable.She wept quietly, without saying a word, the slight sobbing sound seemed to be magnified countless times, and it was like a heavy whip whipping at Mu Xin's heart behind her.Mu Xin pursed her lips, trying to hold back tears, her eyes were already flushed.

"She..." Mu Xin struggled to open her mouth, her voice hoarse.She cleared her throat, her throat choked, "She forgot us all, she doesn't remember anything..."

For a long time, Jiang Siyan didn't speak.Mu Xin froze in place, looking at the white figure in the night, her heart ached unbearably, she finally lowered her head and shed tears.

"So you got her drunk and didn't let me meet her directly... I know, she probably doesn't remember me, otherwise, how could my daughter not come back to see her for so many years Mom?" Jiang Siyan's voice sounded unusually calm, except for the nasal tone, there was a kind of despair that made people tremble, she held Mu Li's hand tightly, and said:

"You brought her back, but you didn't let me meet her. I understand, you want to take her away again, right? You still haven't made any progress in these many years. Mu Xin, your name 'Xin' is in vain, Where is your heart? I, Jiang Siyan, misjudged the person, why did I not expect that you are such a cold-blooded and heartless person."

Mu Xin took a deep breath, she didn't give any explanation, only said:

"We... will soon go on an expedition to Central Europe, and we will go to thousands of mountains and rivers, and the dangers are unpredictable."

Jiang Siyan turned her head suddenly, squinted at Mu Xin resentfully, gritted her teeth and said:

"So you brought her here to bid farewell on purpose?! Is it because you are afraid that if there is an accident, heaven and man will be separated forever from now on, so before you leave, do you regard it as a farewell?"

Mu Xin slowly closed her eyes without answering.

"Mu Xin, how long are you going to torture me?!" She was crying, full of grief and anger.

Mu Xin suppressed the tumbling emotions, her whole body trembling slightly.She gritted her teeth and still didn't say a word.

The room fell into an unbearable silence, and the night seemed to be getting darker, slowly engulfing the two people in the room.The distance between them is only three or four meters, but they seem to be separated by hundreds of millions of light years.Seventeen years of time, how many days and nights.For their own beliefs and beliefs, they went against each other, and each went through this difficult time. Up to now, the emotional wear-off is worse than that of strangers.

"17 years..." Mu Xin finally said with a hoarse voice, "I promised you that I would bring her back after 17 years, and I did it. Seven months, after seven months, I will bring her back Come back intact, and when the time comes, I will never let you separate again. I will never break my promise."

"I want your promise, what's the use..." Jiang Siyan seemed to lose her soul, and repeated, "What's the use..."

The night is getting deeper, and the sky is about to break dawn. The twilight light of dawn breaks free from the shackles of the dark night and slowly climbs to the east.They came and left quietly, and only Mu Li was left in the room, who was sleeping soundly, as if he didn't know anything, didn't understand anything, and didn't remember anything.

The light of dawn slowly illuminated the head of the bed, Mu Li slowly opened his eyes, the tears that had been accumulated for a long time lost their hold, instantly slipped down the corners of his eyes, passed through his ears, and entered his temples.

A big dream, wake up at dawn.
