Lei Yue Longmen

At this moment, an unusual and subtle sound of snow treading approached quickly.Li Jingchen straightened his face immediately and turned around.I saw a masked black figure half kneeling on the snow, coming to return.Just as he was about to open his mouth, there was a sudden "bang" from behind, and there was a powerful sound of breaking the door.

This sudden change surprised both of them.Before he could react in time, a swift shadow jumped out from the door, attacking directly behind Li Jingchen.

The man in black slapped the ground, jumped behind her, and stretched out his arms to protect each other, resisting the opponent's attack.

Qing Yuan and Gu Qing who followed closely from the door widened their eyes, not understanding what happened?

Just now the two were talking with Qin Liang in the room, when he suddenly got up and rushed out the door, startling the two of them.

Seeing the man in black, Qingyuan thought that the family had recruited a thief and Qin Liang was trying to catch him.But Li Jingchen was also trapped in the battle circle, clearly under the protection of "thieves", and his original stand was clear but suddenly became confused.

"This...what the hell is going on??"

The two of them were fighting fiercely in the arena, so they didn't have time to pay attention to her.Qin Liang moved swiftly and impermanently, and the white air exhaled from his mouth was instantly blown away by the cold wind.Concerned about Li Jingchen's safety, the hidden guard dodged left and right and gradually lost the wind.Anxiously, he pulled out a short blade from his sleeve, stabbed at Qin Liang, and shouted: "Master, go first!"

Li Jingchen knew that he was not Qin Liang's opponent, but he never moved, and stood on the spot with a solemn expression on his face.

Qin Liang dodged the opponent's thrust with a short body, kicked forward with all his strength, and hit the opponent's calf.The dark guard was unstable and fell forward, but he grabbed his wrist and choked back.Hearing a crisp bone cracking sound, Qin Liang had already grabbed the short blade, and slapped the man in black flying with his palm.

The dark guard fell heavily on the snowy ground, immediately turned over and jumped up, forcing a posture of a fierce tiger lying on the ground, waiting for an opportunity to rise again.The actual wrist was already shaking violently with pain.

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight endlessly again, Qing Yuan felt that it would be impossible not to come forward to stop him, so he hurriedly said: "Don't fight, stop it! They are all our own!"

But at this moment, Qin Liang suddenly moved his body, flew towards Li Jingchen, and grabbed her throat with one hand.Turning around, he placed Li Jingchen in front of him, pointed the dagger angrily at the hidden guard who came to rescue him, "If you dare to step forward, I will kill her!"

The hidden guard stopped immediately, his gaze swiveled back and forth between the cold blade and Li Jingchen's throat, and finally took two steps back slowly, not daring to act rashly.

"Qin Liang, you are crazy, do you know what you are doing? Stop it!"

Qingyuan paused, with the expression that he had caused a catastrophe.

Qin Liang said indifferently: "Of course I know what I'm doing? What? I've never been so clear! That's how it is!"

Speaking of later, the hand? Is getting more and more forceful.Li Jingchen's neck was strangled, his breathing gradually tightened, and he said, "What do you want to do?"

"I have something to say to His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager, no one is allowed to follow me! Otherwise..." Qin Liang glared at the frozen guard, his eyes full of vicious hints.

"You don't have to be like this," Li Jinghe managed to catch his breath, and ordered the hidden guards: "Don't follow me without my palace's order!"

"You're smart!" Qin Liang pushed her to a secluded place outside the courtyard, and finally let go.

With the help of a tree, Li Jingchen did not faint due to suffocation.After a burst of snowflakes in front of her eyes, she supported the tree to regain her composure.

Qin Liang: "I only have one sentence today. For the sake of everyone, please hold your highness high and let Cen Zhu go!"

Li Jingchen was startled, he was uncertain and said: "I don't understand what you mean!"

"Things? Now that this is the end, why does Your Highness pretend to be confused? Who is Tu Yuanshan? How could Cen Zhu let him go so easily based on His Highness's words? What kind of deal did you have? I don't care about it. I don't want to. But from now on, Cen Zhu will no longer serve the East Palace! And you? Never want to control her again!"

"Why do you decide for her?"

Li Jingchen calmed down, and asked coldly, his hands curled up on the tree trunk into an antibow.

"Just because I'm her elder brother! I'm the closest person entrusted by her mother before she died!" Qin Liang resolutely said, "Similarly, I also saw you crossing the river and tearing down the bridge with my own eyes, cutting off her like a pawn. Hands, the one who crushed her into hell!"

These words were like ice slaps on Li Jingchen's face, causing her to temporarily lose consciousness.Her throat was extremely dry, as if it was about to split open, and she couldn't even utter the slightest rebuttal.

"She is not your pawn, let alone a stepping stone for you to advance! One pair of hands is enough to repay everything!"

Qin Liang spoke louder and louder, he was already convinced that Cen Zhu was serving the East Palace, otherwise he would not let go of the chance of revenge that was at his fingertips for no reason.When I contacted Qin Zhuo's "sacrifice to rescue him" eight years ago, I thought it was one of her means to get close to the East Palace, but now I think it may not be that simple.There may be a deeper deal between them, no matter what the content is, the price Cen Zhu has paid is already too high, no matter what, he must take action to help her stop the loss in time.

Now that the tiger in the East Palace has fallen into Pingyang, it is precisely the best time to cut off the connection between them.As long as he thinks that she worked her life for the East Palace, but in exchange for her hands being cut off by the people of the East Palace, he would grit his teeth with hatred.

"I don't know what you used? What methods are used to force her to be loyal to you, but from now on, you can never use her again! She will never obey anyone again! Anyone who dares to touch her hair, even if she is Tianhuang nobles, I, Qin Liang, too? I will never agree!"

He said bitterly: "After all, you don't deserve her allegiance! All palace walls built on dirty foundations will collapse sooner or later."

The wind and snow pressed relentlessly on the branches, making it difficult for people to take a breath.

Li Jingchen kept his back to him all the time, the breath he exhaled condensed into ice in front of his eyes, maintaining the silence until the latter's patience cooled completely.Didn't say yes, also? Didn't say no.Qin Liang's eyes turned cold, and he was about to make a move.Suddenly, she said coldly in a tone that couldn't be more gloomy:

"Qin Liang, you and I too? As a master and servant, you should understand the rules of the East Palace. After tonight, no matter where you are or who you rely on, the Palace will issue orders to hunt you down from the ends of the earth!"

Qin Liang snorted lightly, his face was full of sarcasm and contempt, "You don't need to order your highness to hunt down, if you don't agree to my request, I will come to your highness from all corners of the world. From the day I left the division, Qin Liang, You have already disregarded life and death, so why should Qu Qu be afraid if he dies?"

"It's best like this." She turned around and said with a sneer: "Then me too? I might as well tell you clearly, no matter what, I will never give up on Cen Zhu! You can pour dirty water on me as much as you want, it doesn't matter how much! Anyway, it’s just a few more unwarranted charges! I can still bear it! But about the internal affairs of my East Palace? It’s not up to you, a traitor, to speak up!”

Qin Liang thought that it would not be so easy to force her to retreat, but he didn't expect her attitude to be so tough.It seems that in this dialogue with disparity in strength, she is the one who controls the overall situation.

I don't know where her confidence comes from, "Believe it or not, I can kill you silently with just one finger now?"

She let out a "huh", her attitude did not improve at all, and she still had a strong tone: "A minister who is a traitor, unfaithful, unjust, disloyal and unfilial! What? What can't be done?"

Qin Liang, who was poked at the sore spot, suddenly felt a killing intent in his heart, and his fists suddenly clenched with a "cracking" sound.At this moment, the sound of two wheels rolling over crushed snow, from far to near, woke him up suddenly.In addition to being afraid, a layer of cold sweat oozed from the back.

Li Jingchen followed his prestige, and in the whiteness of the sky, there was a thin and haggard figure, wrapped in a thick black coat, sitting dejectedly in a small wheelchair? Crooked, her body was also crooked, slowly pushed by Gu Qing, walking towards this side with difficulty.

Li Jingchen's throat was tight and sore, and his eyes were stung by the wind and snow, so he had to block it with his hands.And Qin Liang had already rushed to the two of them against the wind, and after a few conversations, he helped Gu Qing push the wheelchair over, but he didn't stop when he passed by, bypassed her, and drove straight to the front yard.As if she didn't exist.

Li Jingchen's face suddenly turned pale, and his heart also turned cold.Suddenly, the pedestrian stopped ten steps away. Qin Liang lifted the wheelchair and turned around. He landed on the same spot and looked at her with a complicated expression.

She turned around, the cold snow hit her back ear, and the pain spread all over her body.

This split-like confrontation made her feel a little panic.Her eyes were fixed on the person in the middle, her abnormal silence and passive cough gave her a bad premonition.

As if she was about to face an ultimate trial, she knew that she had little hope, but she still hoped that the man would show mercy.

But she seemed very tired, and even the prepared words were uttered hoarsely and weakly.

"I thought I could, but I can't. I broke my promise and gained weight. You go, please don't come to me in the future!"

Can't tell? What did it feel like at that moment, as if what I had deliberately insisted on all this time was nothing but a false dream.In the end, it was just a dream.

When the dark guard found her again, she had been standing on the white snow for a long time. There were two inconspicuous ruts under her feet, and her whereabouts had long since disappeared.And she stood there all the time, motionless, like a lost sculpture, gradually frozen by the heavy snow.

"This subordinate is incompetent and has humiliated His Highness, and is willing to be punished!"

For a long time, she didn't move, just looked at the snow surface, took a deep breath like a knife, and murmured: "That's fine!"

The dark guard had been kneeling for a long time, with one hand drooping by his side, showing shame.

She finally turned around, as if she was a different person, her eyebrows were covered with a layer of white snow, and under the snow was solidified ice, but it was no longer a big deal.

"...how are things going?"

The secret guard replied: "According to His Royal Highness's instructions, the four subordinates followed Tu Yuanshan all the way to the outside of the city, stopped the carriage in a small forest three miles away from the Town God's Temple, revealed their identities, and rescued the second princess. Moreover, the culprit fee was deducted. From Yi, escort them back to the city together."

"Marquis Dingguo, did you say anything?"

"No. I waited? After getting the man, he went on the road alone. The boss has been followed by someone, and there is someone to meet him not far away."

"Really." This is strange!With Tu Yuanshan's personality, how could it be so easy for someone who wanted to take him?Don't even ask.

"With such a heavy snowfall, they probably won't be able to go back to the city tonight! You should bring more people to meet them, and you must ensure the safety of the second princess! If necessary, you don't need to bring the criminals back, just kill them on the way! "

"Here!"

Li Jingchen pulled his feet out of the snow, but found that he had no sensation below his calves, and when he landed, his feet were soft and he was about to fall to one side.The dark guard supported her, then quickly withdrew his hand, knelt on the spot tremblingly.

The latter breathed out a cold breath, "I don't care about your dereliction of duty tonight, after finishing the work? Go back to recuperate! You don't have to wait on me from now on!"

The dark guard has long been prepared to be expelled, knowing that there are no useless people around her, and it is a blessing from God not to punish her.After kneeling and kowtowing, he was ordered to go over the wall.

"Me too? It's time to go..."

She swallowed the dry pain in her throat, and wanted to say goodbye to Empress Jiang.Walking step by step to the front yard against the snow.At the stone bridge, there are two more wheel tracks on the bridge surface.The closed heart seemed to be dug up by the roots again, and received another round of whipping. She stopped on the other side of the lake, hesitating whether to go in or not.

Suddenly there was a burst of hoarse crying and shouting from the place where the lamp was bright, and it was extremely creepy to hear, and Li Jingchen faintly had a bad premonition in his heart.Lifting his numb feet from the snow nest, he walked towards the bridge unconsciously.

Pushing open the door, I saw that there was a whole room full of people, Cen Zhu was sitting in a wheelchair, under the care of Gu Qing, he was fine.She was sure, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at the others.He found that everyone was looking at her with strange expressions on their faces.

Suddenly, a stumbling figure rushed straight towards her.In a blink of an eye, she rushed to her feet and cried, "Your Highness, this servant deserves to die. This servant did not take good care of Your Highness. This servant deserves to die."

She was taken aback for a moment, "Fang'er... why are you here?"

Qingyuan helped the extremely tired Jiang Hou to come out from the inner room, and when she saw Li Jingchen, she also stamped her feet in astonishment.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you, you must mourn!"

Li Jingchen finally had a very subtle expression on his face. He looked at the person in front of him in surprise, and then turned his gaze to the inner room in disbelief, shaking his body back and forth twice.She held her forehead, trying to hold on, not wanting to lose her composure in front of others, but her mind was dizzy.

Qin Liang was the closest to her, and he reached out his hand to help her, but she slapped his arm away, "Get out!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Qingyuan trotted over quickly, and gave the maid on the ground a wink, and the two of them worked together to help Li Jingchen to leave here slowly.

There was a gaze fixed on her from behind, watching her helplessly into the inner room, hearing a "gudong" sound from the inner room, hearing her pleading and crying that made her "sorrowful", struggling to stand up, But it was firmly locked by this narrow chair.

Sweat broke out on his forehead, and there was a heart-piercing pain on his wrist.

"Don't move, I'll help you to see!" Gu Qing hurriedly held her down, gave her a comforting look, and quickly turned around and walked into the inner room.Cen Zhu looked at her back, and suddenly let out all the strength in his body? His eyes were gradually soaked by water mist.

The author has something to say:

In the last two short paragraphs, Li Jingchen fainted outside the door, and changed to fainting in the inner room.
