Frost shines on Qingcheng

No matter how good Lu Yuanzheng was, the three of them, holding a comatose Lu Qingrong in his arms, were finally discovered by the guards in Shuilan City, where the security was most heavily guarded recently.

Soon a large group of guards surrounded them. Ziqin and Qilin planned to cover Lu Yuanzheng and leave first, but Lu Yuanzheng handed Lu Qingrong to Qilin and insisted on letting them retreat first.Although the two subordinates were very puzzled by this, but Lu Yuanzheng gave the order, and they had his own reasons, so they had to obey.

Lu Yuanzheng held his sword, and the guards around him were all staring at him vigilantly, but they didn't dare to act rashly.Not long after hearing the news, Shen Wanrong hurried over.

"Lu Yuanzheng." Shen Wanrong almost called out his name through gritted teeth.Her eyes were bloodshot, not because of fatigue, but because of the hatred hidden deep in her heart.

"Long time no see." Lu Yuanzheng said to Shen Wanrong with a smile, "Do you still want to kill me as always?"

Shen Wanrong clenched the sword in her hand, her eyebrows were tangled together, and she said without hesitation: "I want to."

Lu Yuanzheng laughed arrogantly, and said: "I'm afraid you can't do what you want. You can't kill me tonight, and you can't kill me in the future either. But maybe you can go to Qingcheng to find Zhao Yueyao. If you commit yourself to her, borrow If we join forces to deal with me, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."

"Shut up!" Shen Wanrong became angry from embarrassment.Chu Xingzhi is her sore spot, and so is Zhao Yueyao.

"Ah..." Lu Yuanzheng pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "I almost forgot, you are different from her, but you have a deep love for Chu Xingzhi, so how can you like women?"

Shen Wanrong ignored his mocking look, "Lu Yuanzheng, you don't have to put on such a contemptuous look. Don't forget, your daughter..."

When Lu Qingrong was mentioned, Lu Yuanzheng's sharp eyes locked on Shen Wanrong: "You hurt her."

"She broke into the inner city and plotted against her. I was just treating a young master of an enemy country in a normal way. Besides, she only hurt her shoulder, and I didn't torture her."

"So, should I still thank you?"

"Thanks are unnecessary. I just hope that you can keep your good daughter away from our Shuangzhao." For Shen Shuangzhao's sake, Shen Wanrong can ignore Lu Qingrong's intrusion for the time being, but she can't tolerate Lu Qingrong's charm of Shen Shuangzhao, making the originally gentle Shen Shuangzhao change So insanely aggressive.

Lu Yuanzheng satirized her: "Shen Wanrong, you always act like a victim. It is Shen Shuangzhao who is pestering Qingrong."

"Look at Lu Qingrong's bewitching appearance, don't forget, this is in Shuilan City, and she came all the way from Shahai for a private meeting..." Shen Wanrong retorted angrily, but halfway through her words, she turned aside Xueqing anxiously stopped her.There were other people present, and she would have lost the generality by saying that.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you here." Lu Yuanzheng raised his head, "In short, you hurt my daughter, and the matter will not be settled so quickly. We will settle this account later." Leaped onto the roof, stepped on the tiles and flew away.

Although Shen Wanrong knew that with Lu Yuanzheng's skills, it would be difficult for her bodyguards to catch him, but she couldn't swallow the new and old grudges, so she ordered the border crossings to be sealed off, and the whole city searched for these four people.Lu Qingrong was injured, so he shouldn't be able to walk far.

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------

Shen Shuangzhao was kneeling in the Jingxin Hall, except for drinking some water these days, she didn't eat anything, and her body seemed to be unable to hold on.But even though she was very tired and sleepy, she kept reflecting and regretting the radical behavior of stabbing Zhang Shan that day.

It should be quiet in such a late night, but she heard the hurried footsteps of the guards and the orders similar to arresting an assassin. She subconsciously thought that it must be related to Lu Qingrong, so she stood up with her numb legs .Just turned around and didn't take a few steps, I saw Shen Wanrong walking in.

"Master...Master." Shen Shuangzhao saw her displeased face, and thought about how many times he had contradicted her in the past few days, and thought that Master might be extremely disappointed in her, and the friendship between their master and apprentice for many years might be destroyed by her own hands. up.

Shen Wanrong just stared at her, silent for a long time without speaking.

Shen Shuangzhao was able to look at her frankly at first, but as time went on, she became more guilty and guilty, so she could only glance at the other place, and then knelt down on the ground: "Shuang'er knew she was wrong, she shouldn't have done it a few days ago. I will commit the next crime and say such outrageous words to Master."

Shen Wanrong closed her eyes irritably: "The next one is wrong? Do you think you are wrong here?"

"Yes." Shen Shuangzhao nodded.

"What else?" Shen Wanrong's tone was calm, even a little tired.

Shen Shuangzhao thought for a while: "I shouldn't hurt people, killing Zhang Shan was really not my intention." Thinking of her, she shed tears, she missed Lu Qingrong, but at the same time, her heart was also tormented.After all, she killed people.She felt that her life, like her clothes, was stained with blood—she believed herself to be unforgivable.

"What about the matter with Lu Qingrong?" Shen Wanrong asked back.

Shen Shuangzhao lowered her eyes, her brows were filled with entanglement and embarrassment.It's just that she still can't match her own heart after all, she chooses to be loyal to herself and to her relationship with Lu Qingrong: "In this matter, I am not wrong."

The cold wind howled outside the hall, and the atmosphere inside the hall was also extremely cold.

"Killing someone, I'm willing to plead guilty and subdue the law. Master doesn't have to shield me." Shen Shuangzhao brought the topic back.

There were only a few candles burning in the meditation hall, and the dim candlelight made the empty hall look a little eerie.After Shen Shuangzhao finished speaking, she waited for Shen Wanrong's disposal, but her only answer was a long silence.She couldn't help raising her eyes and secretly glanced at Shen Wanrong - the master is still there.

Shen Wanrong naturally saw her small actions.These small actions are exactly the same as when she was punished when she was a child, but the little one around her has grown into an adult who will fight against her because of protecting her sweetheart.She couldn't help but silently lamented that the time passed by, and she couldn't catch the person in front of her no matter what.

After pondering for a long time, Shen Wanrong didn't answer the question, and said calmly: "Shuang'er will not be named after me anymore."

"What?" Shen Shuangzhao was astonished. Is the master going to completely distance himself from her?I am really disgusting to the extreme.After all, Shen Wanrong is the fragile part of her heart, thinking that the person who cared about her carefully is now eager to draw a line with her, Shen Shuangzhao still couldn't help but her eyes were red, and tears fell silently.

Shen Wanrong touched her forehead in trouble, her eyes were deep and unfathomable: "Shuang'er, your surname is Chu, not Shen."

"Chu?" Shen Shuangzhao frowned, "This is the surname of Master's husband. Master wants me to be with...and Chu...Chu..." She couldn't say that name in front of Master, and she always felt weird weird.

"Yes. You should have the last name of your entourage."

Shen Shuangzhao breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the master didn't dislike her and was in a hurry to get rid of her.But it doesn't make sense for her to change her surname suddenly. "It's fine, why did you ask me to change my surname?" The master tonight was so calm that it was frightening.

"Shuang'er wants to know the reason?"

"City Lord!" Ruodie has been guarding Shen Shuangzhao in the Jingxin Hall for the past few days, seeing that Shen Wanrong intends to tell Shen Shuangzhao's life experience, she can't help becoming worried, "You can think clearly.

Shen Wanrong glanced at Ruodie lightly, ignored her, and only said to Shen Shuang: "Do you want to know the reason why Master did this?"

Shen Shuangzhao's eyes lingered on Ruodie and Shen Wanrong's faces, and her heart beat inexplicably faster.She pursed her lips tightly, and kept poking the tip of her index finger with the nail of her thumb. After hesitating for a long time, she tentatively asked, "Is there anything Master wants to say to me?"

"Yes." There was something to say, but at the moment when she was about to speak, she couldn't say a word, thought for a moment, and then said, "Does Shuang'er have something to ask me?"

Shen Shuang looked after her, the silence in the hall at the moment was really tormenting.She clenched her fists and asked calmly, "It's still the same question, why did Master suddenly ask me to follow Chu...your husband's surname?"

"Because..." Shen Wanrong stared at her intently, "Because he is your father, the daughter will naturally follow the father's surname."

"Father? But I have no blood relationship with Master, Mr. Chu... so there is no need for Master to do this." Shen Shuangzhao forced a smile.

Shen Wanrong frowned and shook her head, feeling a dull pain in her heart: "You are related by blood, he is your biological father."

"How is this possible?" Shen Shuangzhao refused to admit, "If I were his daughter, then what is the relationship between me and Master, and Master and you?"

"I am Xingzhi's wife, he and I have only one child, Shuang'er, what do you think is my relationship with you?"

Her understatement made Shen Shuangzhao feel very dazed. The relationship between her and Master is not a teacher and student, but a mother and daughter?This is impossible!She felt that everything came too suddenly, making her feel like she was having an unbelievable dream.

"Shuang'er." Shen Wanrong knelt down halfway so that her eyes could be at the same level as hers. She held Shen Shuangzhao's shoulders and stared at her, "Really, what Master said... no, I... what I said is true Yes. Shuang'er, I am yours..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Shuangzhao suddenly pushed her away.Shen Wanrong clearly saw the panic gathering in Shen Shuangzhao's eyes, and her heart turned half cold.

"No!" Shen Shuangzhao shook her head, "My surname is not Chu, I'm just an orphan." She stumbled to stand up from the ground, but the soreness and numbness in her legs made it difficult for her to stand up, and she was emotionally agitated, and she couldn't stand still. He fell to the ground again.

"Shuang'er!" Ruodie made a gesture to help her, but Shen Shuangzhao also pushed her away.

Shen Shuangzhao was greatly stimulated, her whole body was trembling, she finally stood up and was able to walk a few steps, but she tripped and fell to the ground before even crossing the threshold of Jingxin Hall.

Ruodie couldn't stand it anymore, and hurried to catch up, she had expected such an end long ago.

"Ruodie, let her go, it's better to leave her alone." Shen Wanrong sat on the ground, her eyes closed, full of worries.

Ruodie sighed, and looked at Shen Shuangzhao, who still had blood on her clothes, and ran out in a daze.

The maids along the way were frightened when they saw Shen Shuangzhao running over in dirty clothes.But no one dared to step forward to stop her, so they had to quickly send someone to inform Miss Tang and the others.

It was already very late at night, Xiaotao was about to ask someone to close the gate of Qingshuang Palace, but she didn't expect that someone was running towards the mansion.At first she thought it was some ignorant maid running around at night, but after a closer look, she recognized that it was her master.

"Miss Shen?" Xiaotao stared at the embarrassed Shen Shuangzhao with wide eyes, "You...you are back!" She shouted excitedly, "Nanyan! Come out, Nanyan, Miss Shen is back!"

Hearing Xiaotao's cry, Nanyan quickly ran over, followed by Cai'er.Cai'er was stunned when she saw Shen Shuangzhao.Dirty, haggard, and dazed, this is how she feels now when she sees Shen Shuang's photo.

"Sister Shuang'er?" Cai'er called softly, unable to believe that the person in front of her was Shen Shuangzhao.

Shen Shuangzhao heard her calling him, and slowly raised his head, but his eyes were dull.She walked towards Cai'er step by step, and then stood in front of her.

"Are you... Shen Shuangzhao?" Cai'er narrowed her eyes, always feeling that something was wrong.

Shen Shuang looked at her, stretched out her hand, and before she could say anything, she collapsed on Caier's body.

Cai'er hugged her hard, she closed her eyes, the warmth of the person in her arms made her feel relieved - you are finally back.
