After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

"Actually..." Zhou Xun heard Rong Fen's voice after a long time.He seemed to be biting his lip, and said very, very carefully, "I just want to take you to a place... Would you like to go and see it with me?"

to see?

Zhou Xun looked back at the sparsely populated streets, and then looked at the palace guards holding swords on both sides.He moved his eyelashes and said, "Do I still have the right to say no?"

Rongfen was overjoyed when he heard this sentence.He said: "I just took you there to see... Really just took you to see. Don't worry, I will definitely send you back. I won't do anything to you."

Zhou Xun hummed lightly and nodded.

He followed Rong Fen into the carriage, and before boarding the carriage, he secretly untied the tassels around his waist, and threw it in an unobtrusive corner.The emperor said today that he would wait for him at Zhou Xun's house when he finished his court.When he found out that Zhou Xun hadn't come back for a long time, he would definitely come to him.

And Rongfen...he couldn't tell that the other party had any intention of hurting his life, so for the time being, he could only weigh it in this way.

The carriage was driving quietly in the capital.Rong Fen sat across from Zhou Xun, he didn't touch Zhou Xun, and he didn't approach him.Just carefully, after a while, look at him again.He didn't speak, neither did Zhou Xun.He just secretly remembered the route of Rongfen's carriage.

The carriage passed through the streets and alleys, towards the south of the city, towards the west of the city...passed Hongmeifang...then Yanyunfang...the carriage stopped near Yanyunfang.

Well, since he is still in the capital, he always has a way to escape.Seeing that the carriage stopped, Rong Fen was the first to get out of the carriage. He handed Zhou Xun his hand and said, "The road is slippery, hold me up..."

Zhou Xun didn't even give him a hand.He jumped out of the carriage himself.

Rong Fen's hand was floating in the air in such an embarrassing way.He didn't have time to say a word, so he could only withdraw his hand and said, "...OK."

No one responded to the "yes" at all, and he didn't know who he thought he was speaking to.

"This is the southwest corner of the city. Here, there is a tall clock tower, and there is a river under the clock tower. The river flows from outside the city, and then flows into the city. I like it here when I was a child. I like sitting on the clock tower. , hugging my legs, looking at the capital...not taking anyone with me. I am on the clock tower, no one will notice me under the clock tower, only at this time I feel that there is still a place in this world that belongs to me. "

Rong Fen babbled, he looked at the river, and then at the bell tower in the distance, showing an almost yearning expression: "You know what? In fact, I have very few things. The palace belongs to Rong Xuan, and the capital belongs to me. Rong Xuan's, father's praise, and courtier's praise are also Rong Xuan's. So only when I am here, I feel that something belongs to me...you have to follow me..."

He seemed to be very careful: "Go up to the bell tower and have a look?"

There was a bit of a weird, as if sharing, meaning in his words.Zhou Xun listened to his words, and the meaning he felt in his heart was very clear-the fifth prince meant that the only thing that belonged to him when he was a child was this clock tower, but now, he wanted to share this clock tower with Zhou Xun.He wanted Zhou Xun to go up and have a look with him.

Now the emperor's people haven't arrived yet.And the fifth prince told him his own story inexplicably, and there was even a sense of "recovery" in the words.

——Is he redeeming himself?Why did he want to save himself?In the end what happened?

The fifth prince's plan to redeem himself is itself weird.What's even weirder is the humble attitude in his tone, as if he knows he's done something wrong... This is an attitude that Zhou Xun has never had in the past. It's an attitude of apology.

Zhou Xun shook his head.

"...I know you won't forgive me." Rongfen was stunned, he turned his head, looked at the clock tower in the twilight, and said in a sleepy tone, "If it was then, I would have known... ..."

"The person who should accompany the prince here is not me, but Zhou Cai." Zhou Xun sarcastically said, "What's wrong with the prince, why is he so concerned about a 'fake'? He said these meaningless words to make me Are you reading a joke?"

"...No, of course not Zhou Cai." Rong Fen was still immersed in that dreamlike imagination, "From the very beginning, the people standing here should be you and me."

—Should it be you and me?

Zhou Xun was startled, this was the first time today that he had feelings of surprise besides disgust and indifference.He looked at Rongfen's back under the bell tower, and after a long silence, he said, "Why should it be you and me?"

He vaguely felt that he had captured a little bit of the strange source of Rong Fen.And I realized that this weird sentence was like a sharp thorn, a knife...separating myself from a certain fate at that time.

"Because..." He heard Rong Fen suddenly get stuck, and after a long time, he said cautiously, "Zhou Xun, tell me, what would have happened if we were the ones who met in Jiangzhou at that time?"

Zhou Xun still didn't understand what he was talking about.But he smelled a bloody smell—a bloody smell that made his teeth clenched, and made him unable to sleep all day long if he didn't hear the truth behind it.The smell was like the devil's whisper, he told him, come and listen...all the truth you want to know is here.Because of the bloody smell, his eyes darkened, he held back the sarcasm and all the nausea, and whispered: "What will happen? I don't know. At least, I won't see my name appearing on the list today." superior."

At that moment, he heard the sound of Rong Fen's breathing as if being choked - like on the battlefield, a soldier whose leg was broken was in extreme pain, and would choke his breath to endure the pain.After a long time, he heard Rong Fen say: "Yeah, originally you should have participated in Chunwei three years ago, originally you... originally I should have found a true confidant long ago, originally I should have met you when I was in Jiangzhou. We will become very good friends, we are so alike, we both have a brother who is a thousand times better than me...and I will help you win Zhou Cai, looking at you is like looking at myself..."

"...What nonsense are you talking about?!" Zhou Xun felt a thicker bloody smell in his throat when he heard these words, "What are you talking about?! Why are you talking like that?!"

Rong Fen was startled by his voice like waking up from a dream.Zhou Xun's expression was too scary, he took two steps back, and said in a low voice: "I...", "Tell me!" Zhou Xun sternly said, and he walked towards Rong Fen, "Tell me!!"

Something fell from Rong Fen's body... It was a piece of flower paper, an old flower paper that had been placed for many years.Zhou Xun lowered his body, and before Rong Fen could squat down, he picked up the flower note.

That piece of paper is actually very light. After so many years, it has been flipped over and over again, so light that it is about to shatter.But when Zhou Xun picked it up, it was as heavy as picking up the whole world.

When he saw the handwriting on the flower paper, a world suddenly opened up to him.

He never thought he would be so calm, his teeth did not chatter, his bones did not tremble.What a smart person Zhou Xun is, how could he fail to see what kind of story is hidden behind this flower note that has been cherished and valued for many years?

This letter of flowers... If this letter of flowers was left by accident, how could it be so cherished?And Rongfen's weirdness today...

He heard the sound of the world slowly sinking around him, and the sound of his own soul slowly rising.His voice floated in the air like a feather:

"……what is this."

"I..." He heard Rongfen's voice, "Zhou Xun, I...we, went the wrong way."

"..."

"Back then in Jiangzhou, the young master of the Zhou family, I thought, I thought it was...why didn't I find out that person was you?"

"..."

"Originally, I should find you. Then we will be friends. I will take you away from Zhou's house, take you to the capital, and find the best master. You are different from Zhou Cai. We will be friends. And you will be The person in my ideal. It’s fine if you get the number one, but if you don’t, I’ll let you stay in the palace... I’ll find the best things in the world for you... instead of a few baskets of peaches... Zhou Cai is really not that person. He will only tell me that the pressure from the family, let me help him. But you are different, you are like the person in the flower note, we will be connected, and you will sympathize with me, And I will help you..." Rongfen said incoherently, "Why is this happening?"

He heard Rong Fen talking about a certain phantom in his imagination—someone who would smile at him, heal the scars on his heart, be sympathetic with him, and be with him without worries Boys walking slowly together on the road.

He said he missed him—missed his life with that person.For so many years, he hadn't even noticed...

Zhou Xun smiled.

He smiles beautifully and is very pretty.He said softly, "Let's go to the bell tower and have a look."

"Bell Tower... Good!" Rong Fen, who was still flustered just now, seemed to have grasped his own life-saving straw at this moment, and he showed an expression as if he had been saved, "Good! Let's go up and see, see..."

Zhou Xun followed him upstairs step by step.

He remembered that he had heard an imported myth - a man full of evil, who fell into hell after death.All the wicked weep in hell, and the deliverance that hangs to him is a spider's silk—from the spider he once saved.

"...Here is the top of the bell tower." He heard Rong Fen's voice, the voice was cautious and ingratiating, "I always thought when I was a child, when I have someone I like, I will bring him up, and then we will stand Here, look at the capital——this scenery of the capital is only known to me, and it is something that I have not shared with my brother."

The villain climbs up the spider's thread.It was a very thin and long spider silk, and it was all his salvation.However, behind him, countless villains also climbed onto the spider's thread, pulling him down along with the thread——

"...We will watch this twilight together, and then I will tell him many, many things about my childhood, and we will stand here like this. I look at the capital, and he looks at my back..."

Zhou Xun saw Rongfen's back.

The spider's thread is breaking.He wants to leave this hell, but how can those other villains crawl along the spider's silk and leave this hell with him?

So that spider thread was in the air, shaking... shaking... soon to be broken...

"...I didn't know that because of such a incident, such a misunderstanding, we would spend so many years wasting away, and our lives have undergone tremendous changes."

"Yeah." Zhou Xun said softly, "I didn't expect it either. It's just such a thing, just such a thing... It shattered my whole life."

The villain took one last look in the direction of heaven.There, it was the only spider willing to save him.The villain stretched out his legs, he kicked off all the other villains, and...

He saw his hands - so pale, so slender, they were a pair of hands holding a pen.A pair of hands that his mother Lin Yan once said that holding a pen can write a magnificent chapter.

This is a hand holding a pen.

He put his hands against the vest of Rong Fen, who was watching the scenery outside the clock tower and was still chattering.

The spider's thread broke.

With just a slight push, this person will disappear from this world from now on.Rong Fen, who ruined his life for such a ridiculous reason and left so many scars, is still laughing, rambling, fantasizing, and talking about the boy he imagined, who had the same illness as him. ...

Just give it a little push.It's ridiculous that the man is still looking out at the city in the twilight, isn't it?Just such a man, for such a boring and ridiculous reason, let him...

And this man still doesn't know anything about his actions now!Is he immersed in his fantasy again?He's still fantasizing about telling everything and getting back together...heavy?

His palm was stuck to Rongfen's vest.

"Boom."

He heard the sound of a spider's silk snapping—no, not a spider's silk, but a bowstring!Something shot out in their direction!

That's an arrow!

That arrow pierced through the air, like an unstoppable army, a sharp blade, or something else that could pierce fate, passed through the entire twilight, and struck in the direction of the clock tower!

It is as urgent as electricity, and as fast as the wind!As if there is nothing faster than it in this world, it can shoot through everything... take everything away!

Zhou Xun saw blood spraying into the sky, and the scene where Rong Fen fell beside him.The arrow pierced through everything and shot into Rong Fen's body with great force!Shoot him backwards and fall down!

At that moment, the screams, the sound of blood splattering, and the sound of Rong Fen's body falling heavily on the ground, were all far away from him, very close, yet very far away.Zhou Xun was standing there, and he saw his hand just brushing past fate, and Rong Fen let out a scream——soon there were arrows and arrows, the first arrow shot him down, and the second arrow shot him down. , The third arrow hit the knee as he fell without fail.Those three arrows were so accurate, none of them hurt Zhou Xun who was right next to Rong Fen.

And the sharp arrow wind lifted Zhou Xun's long hair - his black hair fluttered back in the wind, revealing his dark eyes.The sleeves in his hands were also floating in the air.

Thirty feet away, when his long hair was flying, he saw the man on the bell tower in the distance.

The man was obsessed with the bow, maintaining the posture of pulling the string, and there was no warmth in his eyes.

Zhou Xun looked down at his hand, he was still maintaining the posture of pushing that person down - anyone who saw his current movements would not misunderstand that he was going to push the person down.

The emperor with the bow, he thought, saw it.
