Stay up all night waiting for you to come

One of the most frightening forces in the Jianghu is the Sunset Pavilion in the Blood Sun Valley, just because Lin Xiao, the owner of the pavilion, once annihilated the martial arts family Xie's family in a fit of anger, and smashed the ancestral hall where they worshiped their ancestors into a mass burial In the valley, the blood flowed into a river, reflecting the sunset in the sky red.

From then on, people changed the name of that fierce place to Blood Sun Valley, but they didn't know that Lin Xiao's blood stained the rivers and lakes because of a man.

In the early years of Wude, on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the sun was covered by dark clouds, and heavy snow fell all over the sky, but within half a day, everything was pure white.

In a remote valley, Lin Xiao staggered out of the bleak dense forest and sat down on the ground. Behind him were two lines of bloody footprints. He turned his head and looked at the scene while clutching his chest. The dazzling bright red on the road, and the calm and terrifying eyes, seem to have no fear of death at all, and can even be called numb.

A murderer must be prepared to be killed after all, but Lin Xiao feels that if Qi Ling is still there, he will not fall into such a desperate situation, because that person values ​​himself more than his life, how could he let himself be killed? died before him.

He gasped heavily, even though he had heard the footsteps chasing after him, he didn't bother to struggle or run away, and simply lay on the ground, with relief besides calmness in his dark eyes.

In fact, Lin Xiao knew that today was a dead end, but the other party took out Qi Ling's knife, so even if he knew it was a trap, he couldn't control himself from running over, and he didn't even bring anyone with him. To be honest, Lin Xiao He has lived enough, he just came to seek death.

Lin Xiao smiled miserably and covered his face. Even though two years had passed, even if he closed his eyes now, he could still clearly think of that man's pale and delicate face and deep and hoarse voice.

Qi Ling, the person he loved deeply to the bone, the person who protected him with his life, was destroyed in his own hands after all.

Lin Xiao's body became so cold that it became numb, and the killers behind finally caught up, and slowly approached with sharp knives in their hands, without hiding the murderous intent in their eyes, but Lin Xiao no longer cared about them. At the moment, there is only one person in his mind, Qi Ling.

I'm sorry for you.

Lin Xiao clutched his chest, feeling a severe pain in his heart. He didn't know if it was because of the sharp arrow that pierced his body or because he recalled the previous events.

Gradually, his vision was covered with blood, just like two years ago when he held his blood-stained body weakly in his arms, he couldn't see anything except the color that made him despair.

When the cold front slid across his neck, Lin Xiao no longer felt the pain, because the pain in his heart was enough to make him ignore any pain in his body. He did not forget that it was he himself who broke Qi Ling's wings and threw them Imprisoned by my side, I will never forget the painful and patient look of that person when he was struggling.

For a whole year, he was the one who trapped Qi Ling and took it as his own. What taught him was no longer the ability to live and live, but those things that should not be learned by men. Qi Ling didn't know it, so Lin Xiao forced him to He taught Qi Ling until he was covered in bruises.

But even if he treated Qi Ling like that, Qi Ling was the same docile and obedient from the beginning to the end, his whole body trembled slightly and let him wreak havoc without any resistance, but those indifferent eyes began to be filled with water mist every day. Confused and helpless like never before.

Lin Xiao closed his eyes, tightly clutching a blue-black jade bead in his palm. It was the thing he was wearing when he picked up Qi Ling, and it was also the only relic of Qi Ling after his death.

"sorry."

Lin Xiao muttered to himself, what flashed in front of his eyes was Qi Ling's pale face and reddish tears at the corners of his eyes, such an excellent man, loyal to him, should be a figure in the rivers and lakes, but waited in front of him in obscurity Behind him, even in the end, he never had the thought of escaping.

Qi Ling...I miss you so much...I was wrong, I shouldn't force you...

The moment Lin Xiao's head fell to the ground, tears scattered in the cold air, turning into tiny ice crystals and disappearing on the ground.

He knew that he deserved to die, but he still couldn't help blaming and regretting himself. If he hadn't been impulsive at the beginning, would Qi Ling not have died?If he is restrained enough, can those two people still be together as brothers?

The pure snow was dyed bright red, and the beads tightly clutched in Lin Xiao's hand quietly fell to the ground without anyone noticing.

The killers wanted his life, and they didn't notice the jade bead sinking in the snow, let alone the glimmer of light above it, and left the place with his head in their hands, leaving only one body behind. The cold headless corpse was gradually buried by snow, and the world became silent again.

Lin Xiao couldn't rest in peace. Although he couldn't see, his consciousness was still struggling in a daze. He could always see Qi Ling lying in his arms covered in blood. He wanted to call his name, but he couldn't say it no matter what. sound.

After a long time, there was a sharp pain in his eyelids, and he opened his eyes suddenly. With the strong light coming in, he finally yelled out the name whispered countless times in his heart in a hoarse voice.

"Qi Ling!"

Lin Xiao's breathing was chaotic, his sharp eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, scarlet was terrifying, and his voice was hoarse, but the moment he made the sound, he was completely stunned, and touched his neck in disbelief.

At this time, his head was still on top of it, but the feeling of cutting off the neck with the blade was still unforgettable, and the feeling of seeing his own corpse when the head flew out was even more clear, as if it happened just at the last moment.

He swallowed hard, the roaring sound continued in his ears, and his face was even more bloodless. He looked around numbly, but found that he was not in the Blood Sun Valley, but in the old site of the Sunset Pavilion a long time ago. Inside the study.

Lin Xiao stood up, his figure was still unstable, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were even more chaotic.

He looked at everything familiar and unfamiliar around him in disbelief, and finally staggered to the front of the bookcase, opened a hidden compartment with trembling hands, and was completely stunned when he saw the wooden statue inside. On the ground, I feel that the blood in the whole body is coagulated at this moment.

Why, why is this thing still there? !

Lin Xiao's hands trembled violently, even his fingertips trembled. He could hardly hold the object in his hand, but when his fingers touched the familiar wooden statue, a clear tactile sensation came from the skin, making him shudder. She shivered, and her eyes turned red instantly.

This is the wooden statue he gave to Qi Ling, and he finally buried it in Qi Ling's coffin with his own hands. Why did it appear here?

At this moment, Lin Xiao was stunned by great anger. He thought that someone had moved Qi Ling's tomb, and he didn't even notice that the outline of the portrait was clearer than he remembered, and many days and nights were missing. Abrasion from touching.

The anger in Lin Xiao's heart was completely ignited at this moment. The veins on his forehead were bulging, his eyes were red, and his expression was ferocious. He opened the door as if he was about to kill someone and strode outside. Human body is broken into thousands of pieces!

However, what Lin Xiao didn't expect was that at the same time he was going out, a person rushed in from the outside in a hurry. Seeing him coming out, his face was full of anxiety, but his eyes lit up.

"Pavilion master! There is news from his subordinates that the Xie family Danxiashan family has suddenly recalled most of the masters. The manpower we sent before may not be enough. Do you want to send the rest?"

Lin Xiao raised his head abruptly, and when he saw the person in front of him clearly, it seemed that a spray of cold water suddenly poured down on his head, which not only quenched the burning anger in his heart, but also completely stunned him.

The man in front of him is called Han Jian, and he is also his brother who has followed him for many years, but he remembers clearly that Han Jian was disfigured as early as the year Qi Ling had an accident, with three scars on his face, why is he standing there in good condition now? In front of myself?

Danxia Mountain......

When Lin Xiao heard these three words again, Lin Xiao's face turned pale, his lips trembled slightly, and he stared at his subordinates in a daze. appearance.

Danxia Mountain, this was his name before he slaughtered the Xie family. After Qiling's accident, he killed the entire family of Xie's family. Since then, Danxia Mountain has been renamed Xueyang Valley.

Why, why did Han Jian look like this, why did he still mention the Xie family that should have died?

Lin Xiao swayed, took a half step back, and stared at Han Jian who was puzzled and dazed. The memories of the past flooded him like a flood, and finally reminded him of some past events.

Many years ago, he and the Xie family had an undying feud, so when the Sunset Pavilion gradually developed, the Xie family's property was first annexed, among which the Nanjiang Medical Center was the most important.

Three years ago, he ordered people to attack Xie's family, but he secretly sent Qi Ling to the Nanjiang Medical Center to assassinate Xie Pingsheng, the elder of Xie's family. , can barely save a life.

This incident directly stimulated Lin Xiao, causing him to never let Qi Ling perform any actions since then. Under the guise of thinking about his safety, he removed all his minions and turned him into a caged beast. Forbidden in only their own world.

It can be said that without this incident, no matter how crazy Lin Xiao was, he would not have placed Qi Ling under house arrest, and it would not have caused the two of them to drift apart.

"Master?!"

Han Jian looked at Lin Xiao in amazement, his eyes were empty and unfocused, as if he was in a trance, he was anxious, and couldn't help shouting. Unexpectedly, after Lin Xiao woke up suddenly, he looked at him fiercely, although he tried his best to suppress his strange appearance. , but the trembling voice still leaked a clue.

"Let's go, gather everyone and go to Nanjiang Medical Center immediately!"

Nanjiang Medical Center?

Han Jian's expression became even more surprised. He stared at Lin Xiao. He didn't understand why the pavilion master had sent so many people to Danxia Mountain. Why did he suddenly abandon him and take the rest of them to Nanjiang Medical Center?

Lin Xiao walked towards the outside in stride, and realized that no one was following behind him. He turned his head slightly, his face was cold and tough, his eyes were sharp and indifferent, and his calmness was terrifying.

"Their people are a cover, and they are all ambushing in the Nanjiang Medical Center, and Qi Ling is there."

Han Jian was shocked, and hurriedly followed his footsteps, his rough face became more entangled and confused.

Qi Ling is the master of the dark hall, and even the strongest master in the sunset pavilion. He is absolutely loyal to the master of the pavilion. How could he be in the Nanjiang medical center?Could it be that the declaration of war between the pavilion master and the Xie family was fake, and the goal was Nanjiang Medical Center?

The people from Xie's family laid an ambush in the Nanjiang Medical Center in advance, how did they know the news?How did the pavilion master know that it was a trap?

Han Jian couldn't turn his head around. Not only was he full of doubts, but he really couldn't understand why Lin Xiao knew that the Nanjiang Medical Center was a trap and would send Qi Lingqian there alone.

Everyone can see how much the Pavilion Master Qi cares about the Hall Master. How could he be allowed to take risks this time?

It's just that Lin Xiao's eyes were cold at this time, and his expression was sinister. Han Jian hadn't seen such a strong killing intent on him for a long time. Qi Ling is absolutely not allowed to have an accident, otherwise...

Han Jian shivered violently, not daring to think about the terrible consequences, he hurriedly gathered all the remaining people in the Sunset Pavilion, and rode with Lin Xiao towards the Nanjiang Medical Center on horseback.

Seeing the familiar scenery around him passing by, Lin Xiao tightly clenched the reins in his hand, rushed in front of everyone like crazy, and broke into the Nanjiang Medical Center recklessly.

However, when he arrived there, he saw the Nanjiang Medical Center was dead and silent, with corpses everywhere, accompanied by a familiar bright red, except Qi Ling.

"Qi Ling!!"
