I see the snow

Yinzhichuan never expected that Xihuai would be captured here.

When he rushed over, he thought that Wang Yin had admitted the wrong person, so he hardly had any hope.

Xi Huai also did not expect to see Yin Zhichuan here, he clearly wanted to write to him just now, but in the blink of an eye, he actually appeared in front of him.

Across the heavy rain curtain, in an instant, the two looked at each other, and they both froze.

"you……"

After a long time, Yin Zhichuan's throat rolled slightly, and he uttered a word hoarsely.

His fingers trembled slightly by his side.

For a moment, Yin Zhichuan looked at the man's pale and bloodless face, almost reflexively wanted to help him up, and wipe the dirty rainwater off his face.

He just looked at Xi Huai's distressed appearance, and he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.

But Yin Zhichuan restrained himself, his fingers deeply embedded in his palm, he looked at Xi Huai with a sneer, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"What? Looking at me in surprise, did you not expect that I'm still alive?"

Xi Huai fell into the rain, the dirty mud stained his clothes, and some cold rain penetrated through his collar, making his face and collar muddy.

In his current posture, he needs to look up to look at Yinzhichuan, which is quite embarrassing.

Xi Huai didn't want to show his timidity in front of Yinzhichuan, he struggled to support the wall and stood up, looking back at Yinzhichuan as calmly as possible.

Naturally, Yinzhichuan didn't come here alone to rob people. At this time, Xihuai saw many vague shadows appearing from the shadows——

They were separated from Xihuai Bank Zhichuan by a certain distance, but their posture definitely showed a sideways posture of advancing, attacking, retreating and defending, looking at them silently.

This was somewhat beyond Xi Huai's expectations——

In his heart, he always felt that he had a higher chance of being caught by the Huacishu first, and he never thought that in this city, there was still the hope of meeting Yinzhichuan again.

He looked at Yinzhichuan carefully, seeing his slightly thinner figure and his frosty face.

If you look carefully, you will find that there is a very secret nostalgia in those eyes, and the secret joy of goodbye.

"Of course you will live."

Xi Huai smiled slightly, and whispered to Yin Zhichuan, "You will live a long, long life, a hundred years old."

In fact, Xi Huai didn't know what Yin Zhichuan was talking about, he didn't even know about Yin Zhichuan's poisoning and vomiting of blood.

He was just thinking about the information he stole from Wang Weiliang's mansion just now, thinking that after he took care of this matter for Yinzhichuan, Yinzhichuan would be able to get through this troubled time in peace.Not constrained by Shangjing or Shenyan.

But to Yin Zhichuan's ears, these words didn't mean that, it was a bit like a deliberate irony.

"Have you... ever liked me?"

After a long time, Yin Zhichuan was trembling, but he couldn't help but say these words.

Yes, what made him persistently find Xi Huai, even dragging his poisoned body to check it out himself every time he heard the news, was never a desire for life, nor was it an urgent desire to get Xi Huai. Get the antidote.

He just wanted to look at him so closely and ask him face to face:

Have you ever really liked me?

Xi Huai looked at him silently, thinking how stupid this person is, to come all this way and search all over the city, just to ask him such a sentence?

...It's a pity, what's the point of liking or disliking in front of the doomed road ahead?

He shook his head lightly, and said to Yin Zhichuan:

"I'm leaving."

Yinzhichuan stood silently in the rain, like a statue.

He stared at Xi Huai for a long time, at that moment, he thought of many things in his mind: he wanted Xi Huai to say to him, "I really like you, no matter what happens, don't doubt it";

He also wanted Ji Wuhen to pronounce the sentence indifferently, "He is the one who hates you to the bone, and he came to you just to kill you!".

At that moment, Yin Zhichuan didn't know what to believe, his eyes turned red quickly, he let out a soft "ha", and said in a low voice:

"That's it..."

His reaction was too strange, Xi Huai frowned, feeling something was wrong.

But before he had time to speak, Yin Zhichuan raised his head again, looked at him, and continued to ask:

"What about before? When you asked me whether I was happy or not, those answers were nothing."

"...Are you trying to trick me by saying it every now and then?"

Xi Huai clenched his hands slightly, wanting to say yes, some of them are... But later, those answers were all true.

But he had no way to give Yin Zhichuan such a response, he just stood there in a distant and silent manner, not saying a word.

"Xi Huai, Xi Huai."

Yin Zhichuan said in a soft voice, "...Don't you know. When answering a decision, both negation and affirmation must be true... Otherwise, one day, one day, you will regret it."

Will you regret it?

Xi Huai thought in his heart, but regret, isn't it an emotion that only occurs at the end of time? ...I will not live to that time.

"it is good."

After getting Xihuai's answer, Yin Zhichuan nodded, and said inexplicably, "Very good. I'm very happy that you can tell me the real answer today."

"—At least one day I will die, and my heart is clear."

Yin Zhichuan looked at Xi Huai sadly, with a kind of sadness in his eyes: "It turns out that in this world, the person I love never loved me."

"..."

Xihuai looked at Yinzhichuan from afar, his eyes were silent, he seemed to be stabbed by something in Yinzhichuan's eyes, but Xihuai quickly forced himself to turn his head away, and did not continue to look at Yinzhichuan.

"Xihuai, I really loved you once. If there is someone in the world, I would give my life for it."

The person standing in the shadow paused for a moment before continuing, "Then, that person is you."

It is a kind of courage to speak your mind after knowing that the other party doesn't like you.Yin Zhichuan's tone was calm: "But, even if I love you, there are many other things in this world that I cannot let go of."

"...I also love my father, my brother, and all the uncles, mother-in-law and sisters who took care of me when I grew up. You came here to avenge Canglan's loss of the city. I can give you my life, but I can't accept the stigma of treason and cowardly generals on my father and brother... You are the secret agent of Shangjing, and asking you to join them with the information you got from the government of the town will attract even more people. The innocent disaster has involved all the innocent people in the mansion. So... I can't let you go."

Xi Huai was slightly startled when he heard the word "Shangjing", but he calmed down immediately and shook his head:

"The matter of Canglan has nothing to do with you. I will not implicate you with hatred. But as for whether your father and brother abandoned the city and fled in Canglan..."

A slightly mocking smile appeared on Xi Huai's face, and he said in a low voice:

"I saw it with my own eyes, and I have the answer in my heart."

There are a hundred kinds of troubles entangled between lovers in this world, prompting them to separate, but the most difficult one to solve is probably the blood feud between each other.

In the heavy rain, Yinzhichuan and Xihuai stared at each other silently, but the people lurking in the dark couldn't wait.

The light of their knives reflected a slight cold shadow in the dark night, and those icy cold blades had already been unsheathed.

"Are you trying to force me to stay here?"

Xi Huai noticed it and said with a slight smile.

"You can't go."

Yinzhichuan still said the same thing: "Bringing out news from the Duke's Mansion and reuniting with Shangjing will put everyone in the mansion in danger. Since the death of my father and brother... I can no longer lose anyone around me. Not to mention they are all innocent."

"The people in Shangjing and I parted ways a long time ago. I'm leaving, but I don't want to stay by your side."

Xi Huai said softly.

The phrase "I'm leaving, I just don't want to stay by your side" hurt Yin Zhichuan again, but he just pursed his lips tightly and smiled:

"That's really... I'm sorry. I'm really annoying."

Xi Huai didn't explain why he left because he really fell in love with Yin Zhichuan, so he felt ashamed of his parents by staying by his side.He only stared at Yinzhichuan, and asked:

"Will you kill me? ... if I must go."

Yinzhichuan stared at the person in front of him for a long time, then replied:

"Sometimes, I really wish I could die with you."

It's a really nice ending.

At that moment, Xi Huai said in his heart.

Didn't die from Huacishu's cleaning up the house, didn't die from the pain of quitting Hongwan, let Yinzhichuan stab his sword into his body, and died under his gaze, for a moment, Xi Huai felt that this was right. The best thing for me has come to an end.

But he can't.

To die with the orphans who killed their parents, I am afraid that they will be ashamed to see their parents and sisters after death, right?

Xi Huai took a deep breath: "Next life."

"Everything... what I owe you will be repaid to you in the next life."

"Not in the next life."

However, Yinzhichuan shook his head with a smile. Under Xihuai's gaze, he felt a dull pain in his heart, but he still endured the words.Word by word softly said:

"I loved you desperately, this life is enough. Xi Huai, I don't want to meet you again in the next life."

The two souls who used to be the closest and most intimate finally couldn't help but confront each other with swords.

Xi Huai hasn't experienced heartache for a long time, but when Yin Zhichuan said "I don't want to meet you again", he was still silent for a long time.

Fortunately, it was raining heavily, Xi Huai's body was already drenched, and his cheeks were already covered with rain, Yin Zhichuan couldn't see the teardrops rolling down from him at a certain moment.Only Xi Huai said slowly in a hoarse voice:

"it is good."

The kiss in the alley, the chrysanthemum under the moonlight, and the swing under the flames of war are all very good and precious memories.But all the beautiful and precious things in the world can't stand up to time after all.

Xihuai and Yinzhichuan were silent with each other in the rain for a long time, when the attendants behind them couldn't bear the numbness in their legs and wanted to move around, Yinzhichuan said:

"Come back with me, Xi Huai, I'm going to hit hard, if I really do it, it will hurt you."

——He no longer calls Xihuai "Zhuyan".

However, Xi Huai is by no means the kind of character who can be caught without a fight. Although he is a scholar who reads and writes lyrics, he was once trained as a secret agent for spying on intelligence.He didn't have any real skills, but Huacishu taught him how to escape from the enemy's hands when he was in danger.

"Then you come and catch me."

Xi Huai said softly.

Then he didn't know what he shook out of his sleeves, and with a "squeak", something fell into the stagnant water, and the stagnant water seemed to boil instantly, and bubbles were "cuckoo" and released at the same time. An extremely foul fishy smell.

All the attendants nearby were so smoked that they closed their eyes, coughing in pain, and their throats seemed to be burned by a raging fire.

Xi Huai retreated quickly, he hadn't noticed it before, Yin Zhichuan realized that Xi Huai seemed to have a certain foundation in foot strength and lightness kung fu.

He retreated very quickly, in the blink of an eye, he almost retreated tens of feet away.

However, when everyone covered their faces and coughed painfully, only one person chased after him without hesitation——

Yinzhi River directly crossed those mutated and smelly waters, and didn't even care about splashing some on the corner of his robe when passing by.

It's hard for him to describe at that moment whether he went after Xihuai for the sake of the Zhen Guo government, or for himself.It seems that Yin Zhichuan's first thought was to let this person who once redeemed him and then turned away ruthlessly stay.

He quickly caught up with Xi Huai - Xi Huai couldn't escape him without stumbling.

With a "poof", the two rolled into the rain at the same time, and Yin Zhichuan pushed Xi Huai to the ground.

Because of inertia, after they landed, they hugged each other and rolled on the ground several times.

The tumbling under the natural inertia made them hug each other tighter and tighter. For almost an instant, Xi Huai felt as if they had returned to the intimacy before the breakup.

...He could even hear the beating of Yin Zhichuan's heart through his thin clothes.

When he stopped at the end, it was Yin Zhichuan firmly suppressing Xi Huai.

He was on the top of Xihuai, panting, I wonder if it was because he inhaled a large amount of mutated gas, Yinzhichuan still coughed a little.

He propped up his elbows, but he didn't look at Xi Huai, until Yin Zhichuan couldn't hold the dark blood between his fingers due to the muffled cough, and it fell drop by drop on Xi Huai's pale cheeks. Just struggling to get up.

However, at this time Ji Wuhen also realized that something was wrong, he ran forward from the hiding place without hesitation, frowned tightly and touched Yin Zhichuan's neck veins——

"Zhichuan."

Ji Wuhen took a deep breath, and Xi Huai noticed that his expression seemed to have changed: "Do you want to die soon? ——The suppressed poison was flushed out by you again with your inner strength."

Xi Huai didn't struggle at first, he lay collapsed under Yinzhichuan.

It wasn't until Yinzhichuan's dark blood dripped on his cheeks, and Xi Huai smelled the obvious rot and stench, that his expression suddenly changed.

"—Yinzhi River!"

Xi Huai couldn't believe it, but the smell was indeed Dream Grass.

Only the Dream Grass can melt a person's internal organs, turning them into a puddle of blood, emitting a rotten smell, until they die.

When Xihuai entered Shangjing, the first poison he was familiar with was the Dream Grass.

His voice trembled slightly: "You...you..."

Yin Zhichuan looked at him indifferently.

He had already got up from Xi Huai, only now he turned his head when he heard the sound.

"I'm dying," he asked with a slight smile, "Is it as you like?"

"..."

At that moment, Xihuai was struck by lightning: How could it be...?

How could it still be poisoned?

He has already left Yinzhichuan, why did the people from Shangjing still succeed?

But Yin Zhichuan obviously had no interest in talking to him anymore, and his face was very ugly.

It seems that even the owner of the "Soldier of the World" is still not completely resistant to the poisonous dream grass.

He motioned to an attendant beside him, pointed at Xi Huai and said:

"Knocked out, take it back to the mansion."
