Baishou loses Shaohua

On the ferry from Qingyuan to Gushui Town, Ji Yinghan and Xuan Lie stood at the stern of the boat, leaning on the railing to listen to the sound of the boat passing through the water.The voice crossed the hearts of the two, constantly reminding them that they were getting closer and closer to Gushui Town, so close that there was only one night's journey left.

The two of them were relatively silent. During this period of time, silence has always replaced too much.

Tonight, the moon was bright and the stars were bright, and the breeze passed by the two of them. Not far behind, there were still passengers in twos and threes on the deck, drinking or chatting.

"Yinghan, can you caress "Shaohua" again for me?" Finally, Xuanlie broke the silence.

Ji Yinghan turned his head, his eyes as pale as water reflected Xingyue, he nodded: "Okay."

The cabin of the ferry boat is relatively simple, with nothing but a bed, a small round table for eating and two stools.Ji Yinghan took the piano from the bed, opened the package and sat down on the floor in front of the window with his hands, putting the piano on his lap.

The fingers hanging above the strings moved lightly, and the sound of Lingling piano flowed out like water.Xuan Lie sat in front of Ji Yinghan, watching him intently, watching his fingers dancing on the piano, watching his expression focused and gentle, watching his white sleeves brushing his knees again and again, watching his The black hair swayed slightly with the movement of playing the piano.

In a trance, Xuanlie felt a dull pain in his heart.

Xuan Lie thought that Ji Yinghan was the catastrophe of his life.He met him because of the sound of the piano, loved him because of the sound of the piano, and understood him because of the sound of the piano.He slowly approached him, approached him, fortunately he did not miss him, and fortunately he was able to join hands with him.He doesn't regret being with him, and he doesn't regret letting him put emotional shackles on him.But he is afraid, he is afraid of the unpredictable road ahead, he is afraid of the ever-changing fate.

These all come from the fate that he can't control but has already been doomed.

Outside the window, the knife-bent Xia Xuanyue has risen to the center of the night sky, making the surrounding stars clear and bright.The passengers on the ferry seemed to have fallen asleep, only the candles in this room were bright and the music was melodious.Fortunately, no one came to disturb, Ji Yinghan's fingers lingered on the strings, lingering and forgetting himself.

Suddenly, a violent shaking of the hull interrupted the peace.Ji Yinghan's body leaned forward involuntarily, the fingers that plucked the strings lost control, the sound of the piano was sharply picked up, and suddenly stopped.

"Yinghan!" Xuan Lie hurriedly reached out to support Ji Yinghan who was almost toppled over.

Ji Yinghan followed Xuan Lie's movements and stabilized, then shook his head: "I'm fine."

"What's going on here?" Xuan Lie stood up, looked out the window, and many people ran to the deck in an instant.

"I'll go out and have a look first," Xuan Lie said.

"Okay." Ji Yinghan nodded, stood up holding the qin, he stretched out his hand to brush the strings lightly, and sighed, "It's a pity." It's a pity that the song was interrupted at the end.

Ji Yinghan got up and put the qin beside the bed, trying to put the qin away, but unexpectedly stepped on something.He took a closer look, and saw that it was a kit bag with a black satin finish and golden silk thread, which was usually tied around the waist by Xuan Lie, and it seemed to be loose and accidentally dropped.He bent down to pick it up and patted the dust on it, but his hands touched a small hard object inside. He suddenly thought of something, and with a move of his heart, he unwrapped the bag.

Xuanlie knew from the boatman that it was just a wave and nothing else happened, so she went back to the cabin in peace.

"The boatman said that he encountered a wave, so it doesn't matter." Xuan Lie said while turning around to close the door.

Ji Yinghan didn't respond, but sat silently by the bed with his head down, his expression very ugly.

"What's wrong? Is something uncomfortable?" Xuan Lie reached out to help Ji Yinghan's shoulder, but felt him tremble visibly.Xuan Lie froze for a moment, Ji Yinghan raised his head and looked at him fixedly, his eyes were strange and vigilant.

Xuan Lie's heartbeat faltered, and then it quickened like a thunderous drum, Ji Yinghan's eyes seemed to see through him.

"Yinghan, what's the matter?" Xuan Lie smiled, but felt a little apprehensive in his heart, "Why...you look at me like this?"

"You..." Ji Yinghan didn't know how to address the person in front of him at this moment, he gritted his teeth to restrain his trembling, and then asked the following two words, "...Who is it?"

Xuan Lie was startled, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly intensified. He reluctantly hooked the corner of his mouth, and stretched out his hand: "What's wrong with you? Why...asking like this?"

Ji Yinghan dodged Xuan Lie's outstretched hand and stood up. He took half a step back, his eyes more wary than before.

Xuan Lie gave a dry laugh, and wanted to step forward: "Yinghan, what the hell are you..."

Ji Yinghan took another step back, he raised his right hand in front of Xuan Lie, slowly spread his palm, and the two halves of the black fingers were lying on the palm.

Xuan Lie felt a chill in his heart, and the barely maintained smile on his face froze on his lips.

"You...what else do you want to say?" Ji Yinghan's right hand trembled slightly, and even the breath of speaking was a little unsteady, and his heart was overwhelmed.

The inside of the finger is engraved with the word "Yu".

On the night of Shangyuan 17 years ago, when he looked back at the burning imperial city for the last time, the word on the black flag of Yu's army that was planted on the city wall was shockingly illuminated by the raging flames behind him.

It is impossible for him to forget that word in his whole life.

Ji Yinghan thought over and over in his heart, maybe this finger ring was just bought by Xuan Lie who didn't know where, or maybe it was just a coincidence, Yu Chongxiu's family is not the only one in the world, or maybe...

Ji Yinghan didn't hesitate to use these stupid thoughts to numb himself, but the almost unmaintainable smile on Xuanlie's face made his heart grow colder and colder.

"Yinghan, listen to me..." Xuan Lie was full of eagerness, his eyes fixed on the two halves of broken jade in Ji Yinghan's palm.Ji Yinghan's fingers and palms had hard calluses from holding the sword for a long time, and a few more scratches were added at this time, which shows how much self-control he used to calmly ask him when he was sitting there just now.

"Okay... I'll listen to you." Ji Yinghan nodded and withdrew his right hand.He was waiting for him to explain, and he suddenly understood how Xuan Lie felt when he knew his identity.Therefore, he wanted to listen to Xuan Lie's explanation, and he wanted to give him a chance.He remembered the despair he felt when he faced Xuan Lie's indifferent and resentful eyes that day, and he couldn't bear to let Xuan Lie suffer it once.Or he had such an urgent hope in his heart, hoping that Xuanlie's anger and hatred that day were real, because he was crazy because he had concealed something from him, and not... just a show.

He thought of this several times just now, panic and despair several times.

"I..." Xuan Lie opened his mouth, "I..."

Xuan Lie didn't know what to say, he didn't know what else to say.He has no confidence and confidence, he doesn't know whether Ji Yinghan will believe what he said, and whether he is willing to believe it.

Ji Yinghan just looked at him straight like that, which made him feel flustered and chilled.

"I'm sorry..." Xuan Lie finally shook his head weakly, "I have nothing to say."

The atmosphere reached a deadlock.

After a long time, Ji Yinghan closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down. The palm he was holding on to the broken finger ached.

"Who the hell are you?" This question is really powerless.

After a while, Xuan Lie still didn't answer.

Ji Yinghan turned around, picked up the bundle beside the bed, and went to get the saber beside him.

"Where are you going?" Xuan Lie stepped forward and grabbed Ji Yinghan's wrist.

"Let go!" Ji Ying coldly shook off Xuan Lie's hand.

Xuan Lie felt a pain in his heart. These two words were exactly the same as what Ji Yinghan said when the two met for the first time, but now, this indifference is even better than before.

"Yinghan!" Xuanlie stepped forward and tightly hugged Ji Yinghan's waist from behind, "Don't go." Xuanlie knew very well that if Ji Yinghan left tonight, it would be the end of the two of them forever.

"Let me go!" Ji Yinghan struggled to break free from Xuanlie's arms, but Xuanlie's force made him unable to get away. He dropped the burden in his hands and pulled Xuanlie's arms, but he couldn't shake it at all. .

"Yinghan, you are on the water now, you can't walk!" Xuan Lie shouted.

Ji Yinghan was short of breath, he gathered his internal energy and sent it to his hands, forcing Xuan Lie's arms to separate.

"Yinghan!" Xuan Lie was in a hurry, and rushed towards Ji Yinghan again.

Before Xuanlie finished speaking, Ji Yinghan took a step forward and drew out his sword, then turned around and stabbed at Xuanlie.

He lied to him, but still refused to let him go.

Xuan Lie hurriedly turned sideways to dodge, Ji Yinghan took this opportunity to pass Xuan Lie towards the door.Xuan Lie hurried to catch up with two steps, stretched out his hand to grab Ji Yinghan's shoulder, Ji Yinghan turned around with a sword, Xuan Lie slowed down and Ji Yinghan escaped.

"Yinghan!" Xuan Lie yelled loudly, and flew over regardless.Ji Yinghan saw that Xuan Lie was approaching fiercely, but he didn't dare to use his sword to fight back, so he had to block with his left arm.

Xuan Lie was determined to keep him, while Ji Yinghan was determined to leave. For a while, the two fought inseparably.

Although Xuan Lie was afraid of hurting Ji Yinghan and only dared to use half of his strength, he entangled Ji Yinghan relentlessly and could not escape.Ji Yinghan knew very well that if he didn't defeat Xuan Lie today, he would not be able to leave. Thinking about this, he no longer hesitated. He took a step backwards, and then attacked with a sword in his right hand.Xuan Lie was forced to retreat step by step by Ji Yinghan's sword move, but he still refused to let go. Seeing that he was about to retreat to the door, he stopped in a hurry, and used his chest without stopping or hiding. He met Ji Yinghan's stabbing sword.

Ji Yinghan stopped the sword in shock, and the tip of the sword stopped in front of Xuanlie, only half an inch away from Xuanlie's body.

Xuan Lie looked at Ji Yinghan without moving.

He is gambling.

Xuan Lie knew that what he did was despicable and irrational. Now that Ji Yinghan was so disappointed in him, he probably hated him even more in his heart. As long as his sword was pushed forward by half an inch, he would die.But at this moment, he couldn't worry so much. The only thought in his mind was that he couldn't be let go.

Ji Yinghan's eyes were red, and his sword hand couldn't help shaking.He told himself that as long as he stretched his hand forward, he could leave, as if he had just had a ridiculous dream and woke up at the end of the dream.

But he can't, he can't.He once told the man in front of him that he would not kill him.Even if one day, he stood in a position that threatened him, he would not kill him.The words he once said were like a rope, binding him tightly.Today, he finally understands that perhaps the person in front of him had expected this day, so he asked him like that.Really... well-intentioned.

Ji Yinghan suddenly felt tired, the sword in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties, he looked at the person in front of him, they used to be close, but now he didn't even know who he was.He closed his eyes tightly for a moment, then opened them, and there was even a hint of pleading in his words: "Let me go."

The blood on Xuan Lie's face faded away, his lips trembled a few times, but he couldn't speak.

The two were at a stalemate, when the footsteps of seven or eight people came from outside the door, the voices were light and light, obviously they were people with high martial arts skills.The door was opened from the outside, and seven or eight masked men in black came in.

The leader is holding a pitch-black bow, with a barrel of pitch-black arrow feathers on his back, and a pair of eyes that are as sharp as a falcon, exuding a gloomy air of death.

Seeing the situation in front of him, the man frowned and said four words: "His Royal Highness."

Ji Yinghan opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He looked at Xuan Lie, as if someone had torn a hole in his heart, and a cold wind gushed in. The long-lost, unfamiliar chill instantly engulfed him. .
