Domineering

The spring breeze brings warmth, the jasmine is lightly released, the snow spreads all over the field, the fragrance is all over the sky, and there is even a faint sound of Xiao, which seems illusory and swaying like the wind.Listening carefully, she felt that the song and music were very familiar, so she couldn't help but set off to look for it. She pushed away the layers of smoke-like fragrance in front of her, and pushed aside the petals of pink and jade carvings in front of her, faintly looking for it. to the source of Xiao Sheng.A woman is sitting among the flowers, holding a long Xiao in her hand, her body is almost integrated with the flowers and colors, leaving only Mo Li's back view with infinite reverie.

"Who are you……"

Someone broke in suddenly, and Xiao's voice instantly turned into a whimper, mocking and unpleasant, just like a woman's cry, crying out all her grievances and fears.Mo Li's curiosity also instantly returned to her empty heart. She was restless and felt boundless fear spreading to herself. She wanted to escape, but was trapped in place by an unknown force.

——It wasn't until I woke up that I realized it was just a dream.

There was no sound of Xiao, no flowers. At this moment, she was lying in the room she escaped from before, with no walls, and her hands and feet were tied to the bed by handcuffs and shackles, unable to move.

Returning to the cruel reality, Ma Li couldn't help but smile wryly: This is the treatment that prisoners should have.It was not in vain for her to toss and turn, and finally met the "mastermind behind the scenes".

The "mastermind behind the scenes" Baili Sipei was wearing a plain dress and a simple hairstyle, quietly leaning against the end of the wall three feet away, sitting on the floor.She lowered her eyes to read, not realizing that her captive was awake.It was a thick and heavy book, half of the contents had already reached her feet, and the remaining half of the volume in her hand still needed her two hands to hold it up, and she didn't know what contents could make her want to stop it so much.Mo Li also noticed that at her feet, a small incense burner embossed in purple and gold exudes faint smoke, the sweetness of roses, the fragrance of plum blossoms, the remoteness of orchids, and the elegance of magnolias in the smoke, all of which have a combination of fragrances—— — It is the scent of jasmine.

Mo Li struggled a few times, shaking the shackles in protest.Baili Sipei heard the sound and knew that he was awake, but he didn't look up from the book: "You are dishonest, so I have to lock you up."

Mo Li lost all her strength, her body became weak immediately, her head felt dizzy and painful, she shook slightly and even had ringing in her ears, it took a long time before she remembered: She seemed to have lost too much blood and passed out on the spot?

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but your temper has become a lot stronger, but it's a pity you used it in the wrong place." Baili Sipei sneered, "You'd better lie here obediently for the past three days, otherwise, you will lose your temper." Life is better than death.”

"Three days? Three days later, you will use me to lure your soul?"

"clever."

"I do not believe."

"What don't you believe?"

"I don't believe that you have spent so much time and effort, just to resurrect Rusong! I don't care what your purpose is! But I can guarantee that the people of Xishan City will resist in the end! The imperial court will not let you go!" Li Sipei turned his gaze from the writing to Moli, and Moli became even more excited, "If you kill me, the imperial court will send the next group of people to wipe out Xishan City! You have nowhere to escape!"

"Who said I was going to escape."

Mo Li stared at Baili Sipei, speechless for a while, she didn't know what this woman was going to do, but she consciously told herself: It's not that simple!

"Could it be that you want to rebel too?" Under her intense gaze, Baili Sipei didn't reply, just acquiesced.Mo Li seemed to have expected this to happen, and couldn't help mocking, "Hmph, everyone wants to be the Ninth Five-Year Lord, how easy it is!"

Baili Sipei didn't say any more, silently rolled up the thick book and hugged it in his arms, getting up to leave.

"Sister Rusong, who I know, will never let you go." Speaking of Rusong, Baili Sipei's pace was successfully wiped out, "In my impression, she is upright and unruly, especially enthusiastic. Ranked at the end of the elders, he was frequently provoked by others, but never defeated. Mr. Wen's Qing Ming Pavilion takes saving the world as its mission, and has the most meritorious deeds among the eight elders..." Baili Sipei stopped in place and listened silently, Unexpectedly, Mo Li changed the subject and commented on her: "And you hide a knife in your smile, you have a needle in your cotton, you are sinister and vicious, and you are not worthy of being called a "lover" by sister Rusong!"

"shut up!"

Baili Sipei turned around and shook her sleeves, and a gleaming silver needle flew out of her cuff, hitting her left shoulder directly.This needle is made of black silver, penetrates into the flesh for three points, wipes it hard and takes a deep breath, becoming more and more dizzy, "Even if I feed my life to wolves, I won't let you succeed!" Gritting her teeth, she said the cruel words Mo Li felt his shoulders go numb, his eyes darkened, and he fell into a coma again.

In the dream, it was still the fragrance of flowers, and it was still the sound of Xiao.

At this time, the apricot blossoms are all gone, the green leaves are full of branches, and half of the peach blossoms are red. Only the jasmine stands out, and the big white and tender flowers are clustered together.These jasmine flowers gradually changed into a woman's shape, as if the woman in the dream. She picked up the branches and turned into a long Xiao, and blew out the emptiness and desperation with a song, which made a boundless Yushu Qionglin in front of her eyes, and the fragrance filled the air. The butterflies dance and the bees fly, the listeners who are drunk in it.

Mo Li himself was one of the listeners, and he was also intoxicated by it, and also had some nostalgia.She held up a flute vainly, just pretending, but there was a real sound of Xiao.

Ma Li opened his eyes slowly, the scene before his eyes had changed at some point.

The jasmine petals remained unchanged, they fell from the sky, like a romantic rain, falling on every corner in front of the eyes, in the hair, in the wine cup, on the guqin... Ma Li stretched out his hand involuntarily, and filled his palms in a moment.After the flower rain, the scene in front of me became clear. It turned out that it was a paradise on earth where the lights were feasting and the money was glamorous.For a moment, Mo Li couldn't tell whether it was the fragrance of flowers, wine, rouge or beauty. Wherever her eyes went, people were more beautiful than flowers, wine was softer than water, and there were lively colors and fragrances everywhere.

In the hall full of seats, everyone's eyes were on the stage, and there was no sound.Mo Li suddenly realized that he was standing on the high platform, and the person they were looking at was himself.She opened her mouth, but there was an ugly whimpering sound in her mouth.

Suddenly, the fragrance dissipated, and everyone stood up one after another, without any smiles.

Something was thrown up from the audience, with a straight arc, gorgeous colors, and crystal clear wine, all of which hit Mali's head.Mo Li clutched her head, backed away in fear, almost fell, until someone supported her from behind, stopping the farce.The hustle and bustle fell silent, and she turned her head gratefully, seeing a familiar and harmless smiling face, and whispered to herself, "Sister Jasmine, I respect you with this glass of wine."

As she said that, a glass of wine suddenly appeared in her hand. The wine that was originally crystal clear turned into bright red blood in the blink of an eye...

"No!" Mo Li woke up from the nightmare.

Someone was holding Moli and moving, the cold wind whizzed past her back, Moli couldn't touch the ground, struggling subconsciously, "Who are you, let me go!"

"It's me." A familiar voice sounded.

The surroundings were pitch black, and Ma Li was dizzy. He could only judge Ruan Zheng's position by the position of his voice, "W-Where is this?"

"This is the outer eighth floor of Xishan City. We are escaping from my senior brother." Sensing Mo Li struggling, Ruan Zheng hugged her even tighter, "If you move around again, be careful not to fall into a pulp!"

"Let go, let me down."

Ruan Zheng stopped, found a corner and put Moli down slowly, worried: "How are you?"

"Hiss—my head hurts."

"You've been stuck in a nightmare, and I'm trying to wake you up... Ahem, you shouldn't mind a little offense."

"Avenge your private revenge..." Ma Li felt uncomfortable all over, especially the throbbing pain in her head. She rubbed her temples, restraining her urge to feel sick, "Why is it so dark?"

Ruan Zheng didn't answer for a long time, and opened the shadow of a hand shaking in front of her with a sharp palm, feeling agitated, "Stop making trouble, what time is it now..." Before she finished asking, she suddenly realized something, the whole The person froze.

Ruan Zheng still didn't answer, but Mo Li then heard the rooster crowing - exactly right, Mao Shi.

Mo Li opened her eyes wide and could only see a blurry figure in front of her eyes. She rubbed her eyes desperately until finally she couldn't help covering her face and crying.Ruan Zheng picked her up and embarked on the escape road again, and comforted her after a short rest: "Mo Li, listen to me, your eyes are only temporarily injured by poison, as long as we escape back, His Majesty will be able to heal you." Good for your eyes."

"Go away and put me down."

"That witch wants to sacrifice you to heaven, you can't stay."

"You can't hold on..." Ma Li noticed Ruan Zheng's arm shaking and smelled the blood in his body, "I'm a useless chess piece, you can run away alone."

"do not talk."

"I'm not alive anymore." Mo Li's eyes were empty, staring at everything in front of him indifferently, "I won't live long when I return to Xuanyuan."

Ruan Zheng was silent, leading her to jump one step after another, not daring to lose the speed of running, his body temperature was increasing, and his breath was gradually scattered, but he expressed his will with actions.The more this happened, the more guilty Mo Li felt, because what she heard was not only Ruan Zheng's messy breathing, but also the sound of arrows piercing the wind.

"You and Ruan Qi are senior brothers after all, if you submit to him with my name, he will definitely spare your life."

"To shut up!"

"Ruan Zheng! There is a saying, 'If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood'."

"I told you to shut up!"

Ruan Zheng really regretted waking her up, but Mo Li just pushed him gently in Ruan Qi's direction, and he spit out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.Mo Li was taken aback, and became even more ruthless. He broke away from Ruan Zheng's arms, fell to the ground, and then fell into the air in a whirlwind, as expected.But just like that, a large group of black shadows still rushed towards her and grabbed her, causing her falling sleeves to be torn to her wrists, and her figure froze in the air.

Mo Li looked up, almost pleading: "Let me go."

"I, no, let go!"

"I deserve it for being brave, but you shouldn't."

"No! I deserve it! I just want to know you, get close to you, and know what happened to you. I don't have the qualifications to come to Xishan City at all. I just want to hear you sing Jianjia again. I..."

The meager cuffs couldn't support much thought, and the cuffs were torn apart as soon as they were rubbed hard.At that moment, he was dazzled by her smile, his hand was empty, and the second half of his sentence disappeared in the wind.He couldn't believe that the hand that was tightly clenched just now, that person, just fell in front of his eyes.He even couldn't believe that what she smiled before letting go was just a "thank you".

The ignorant young man doesn't know the mysteries of the world, and what he wants to hear with all his heart is an old song "Jianjia".In his memory, the dazzling Xiaoqing Building and the magnificent Jasmine, he took a look at it from a distance and became fascinated.Since then, every starry and moonless night, he would dream of her falling from the high platform—this is the regret that will never go away in the boy's heart.
