The rivers and lakes are full of vests

Fu Peibai followed the chief envoy, and when the second envoy returned to the teahouse, it was getting late and the building was quite deserted. She strode up to Shi Qinghan and said, "I let him go. If you want to punish him, I will punish him." Yes, it has nothing to do with them."

Shi Qinghan glanced at her, and smiled lightly, "No need, Shiqi has already pleaded for you just now, but I don't know, you acted like a hero and showed kindness, but you wanted Shiqi to beg me for your kindness, what are you doing?" What do you think?"

Fu Peibai looked at Shiqi, his eyes full of guilt.

Shi Qi smiled and shook his head slightly, indicating that nothing happened.

When she got into the carriage, Fu Peibai still couldn't restrain the guilt in her heart. She stared at Shiqi in the carriage with her eyes closed, and said softly, "Seventeen."

"Huh?" Seventeen opened his eyes, the light brown pupils were a little sleepy.

Fu Peibai sat beside her and straightened his back, "You can sleep with me for a while."

Then she felt a slight sinking of her shoulders, looked sideways, and saw that Shi Qi was leaning on her shoulders and had already closed her eyes.

She took Shiqi's hand, held it in her palm, kept her warm, and whispered: "I'm sorry, I made it difficult for you, I, I really can't bear to see a living person die in vain just because of a word... ..."

Shi Qi scratched her palm with her fingertips, "No need to apologize, I understand, I understand you."

Fu Peibai felt hot in his heart, couldn't help hugging Shiqi, and took a deep breath of the cool fragrance from her body, "Thank you."

"Okay, let's take a break, you didn't sleep long during the day."

Fu Peibai nodded, let go of Shiqi, and hugged her vaguely, "Go to sleep."

In the next few days, they continued to avoid the eyeliners of various factions in the rivers and lakes and slowly moved towards the direction of Kyoto. In early March, they walked about half of the distance.

During this period, something happened that shocked the world.

The head of Xufengmen was assassinated in the mansion, and his eldest son found a blood book in his hand, with 180 characters in it, every word clearly stated that the murderer who killed him was sent by Lu Wencheng, who had been secretly for many years Seeking to climb the mausoleum, he wanted to swallow the rivers and lakes and overthrow the world. Not long ago, he had just found out everything, and then he was attacked. When he was exhausted, he left a letter so that the world could see the true face of Lu Wencheng's wolfish ambition.

As soon as this news came out, the world was shaken and there was an uproar. The son of Xu Fengmen's head confirmed that the book was indeed written by his father, and it was not a forgery.

Afterwards, the various factions in the Jianghu split into two big factions. One side insisted that the incident was maliciously fabricated by Xu Fengmen, while the other completely stood on the opposite side of Lu Wencheng.

Also because of this incident, the alliance that was originally united and bound to pursue and suppress Shi Qinghan disintegrated in an instant. It was rumored that He Yangyao, the owner of Chiyu Mountain Villa, heard about this incident and was furious. Give a plausible explanation for the evidence.

After that, how Lu Wencheng justified it is unknown to the world, and regardless of whether this matter is true or not, Lu Wencheng's reputation as a Confucian man has been completely stained, and even the reputation of Tianjizong has plummeted.

When these news reached Fu Peibai's ears, they happened to be marching into a forest and village, and there were no cities in front or behind to settle down, so it was inconvenient for them to travel, so they could only rest here for a night.

Fu Peibai was sitting by the well fetching water. Thinking of Lu Wencheng's current experience, she couldn't tell how happy she was. This is Shi Qinghan's choice of revenge. Shi Qinghan should be the most happy person right now.

She sighed faintly, picked up the bucket, and was about to go back to her room when a fast-flying stone hit the wooden bucket with a "bang", and the wooden bucket burst into several pieces immediately, and the well water sprinkled her all over.

She looked up suddenly, and there was a tall figure standing in the dense forest in the distance. That figure was hiding in the dark, looking at her from a distance.

Even though he couldn't see the man's face clearly at all, Fu Peibai's mind flashed through Xing Guang's stern face and what he said to her in a hurry not long ago.

"Seventeen's identity is not that simple."

"I'll come back to you after I find out everything."

She moved her feet, and immediately ran towards the figure. The figure quickly turned around and got into the dense forest as deep as thick ink.

The two ran in tandem, and after a while, the tall black figure stopped to look back at Fu Peibai.

Panting slightly, Fu Peibai saw the man's face clearly under the moonlight, with sharp eyebrows and stern expression, it was indeed Xing Guang.

She couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Xing, what you said last time was..."

Before she finished speaking, Xing Guang interrupted her, "Come with me first, I will take you to meet someone, and when you see him, you will understand everything."

Fu Peibai nodded, and was about to catch up with Xing Guang, when a strong wind suddenly blew up in the forest, and a slender figure fell from a branch.

Fu Peibai narrowed his eyes, no, it's Shi Qinghan.

Shi Qinghan didn't look at her, but cast her eyes on her former subordinate, she smiled sinisterly, "I kindly let you go, but you came to your door to die by yourself, Xing Guang, am I treating you right? It's too kind, I told you to forget, what does it look like for me to kill someone?"

Xing Guang's expression was still calm and calm, "Xing Guang is grateful for the kindness of the leader not to kill, and also thanks for the careful teaching of the leader for so many years. The leader has never been sorry to me, but the leader has been sorry to only one person." He suddenly raised his head and stared at Shi Qinghan , raising her voice, "Your blood feud should not drag on to Seventeen, she is innocent!"

Hearing these words, Shi Qinghan seemed to be stimulated by something, his face turned ferocious for a moment, and he shouted "Shut up!" Then the air around her turned into invisible sharp blades and flew towards Xing Guang.

The leaves in the forest rustled, Xing Guang nimbly dodged Shi Qinghan's attack, and at the same time said loudly: "I know everything, I know everything about that year! Seventeen days later, she will know all this, and she will hate your!"

"Seventeen is full of gratitude to you. Even if you force her to do something she doesn't want to do, she never complains. In the past ten years, she has been loyal to you, treating you as a savior and respecting you. Her teacher, even sometimes, you are a kind elder in her eyes.

What about you? !You can only lie to her, from beginning to end, you have been lying to her for your paranoid hatred! "

Xing Guang slapped Shi Qinghan with his palm, and said sharply: "If I had known today, I would never have agreed to you cheating Shiqiyi."

"Shi Qinghan, you are ashamed of Seventeen!"

"Shut up! Shut up! I tell you to shut up!" Shi Qinghan's pupils turned black without white, and she attacked Xing Guang more and more frantically.

But I don't know if she was stimulated by Xing Guang's words or what. Although her offensive was fierce, it was full of flaws. Taking this opportunity, Xing Guang took out a handful of white powder from his arms and sprinkled it on her face. A puff of white smoke suddenly appeared from her skin, as if it was burning.

Shi Qinghan covered her right face and backed away in horror, and now she only had this face that was considered normal, so she naturally regarded it as very important, that is, when she staggered back, Xing Guang stabbed her calf with a sharp bamboo thorn, and she With a muffled grunt, he almost knelt down.

Shi Qinghan's expression became more and more gloomy and terrifying, his voice was hissing like a poisonous snake, "Xing Guang, I shouldn't have been kind to you back then, I should have killed you when you found me!"

With a sound of "咻", a cloud of black mist hit Xing Guang's chest quickly following Shi Qinghan's words. Xing Guang arched his body and flew back a few feet away, hitting the tree trunk with his whole body, and landed heavily .

He staggered up clutching his chest, his feet went limp, and he fell to his knees again, with a lot of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

Shi Qinghan walked over step by step with her hands behind her back. When she was in front of Xing Guang, she raised her hand and was about to deal with Xing Guang, but Xing Guang suddenly said, "Do you remember your child? If she is still alive, she is almost It's about the same age as Seventeen."

Shi Qinghan was stunned, Xing Guang took the opportunity to sprinkle white powder from his arms again, Shi Qinghan was afraid of this, covered his face and backed away, when the powder dispersed, there was no Xing Guang in the forest.

Shi Qinghan stared at the crushed weeds in front of him with tearing eyes, turned to Fu Peibai and said, "Go and kill him! As long as you kill him, I'll give you Shiqi's cold poison antidote immediately!"

Fu Peibai frowned, she stared at the burnt blood hole on Shi Qinghan's face, then nodded, and chased in the direction Xing Guang left.

Two black shadows, one in front and one behind, shuttled through the dense forest. After a while, the black shadow in front suddenly stopped.

Xing Guang leaned against a big tree and sat down slowly. Fu Peibai rushed over to support him, "How are you doing now? Go, Shi Qinghan is coming soon."

Xing Guang pushed weakly, and for the first time showed a faint smile in front of Fu Peibai, but this smile seemed a bit sad and vicissitudes.

"It's too late. I had a cold poison attack, and I was hit by her again. It's too late." He grabbed Fu Peibai's arm forcefully, and said hurriedly: "Fu Peibai, listen to me, it wasn't Lu who killed Wenyangmen in the first place." What Wen Cheng did was Shi Qinghan, it was Shi Qinghan who did it!"

When he got excited, a lot of blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth again, and his lips became paler and paler, "I was originally an outer disciple of the Wenyang Sect. Seeing the corpses in the mansion and the burning fire, the young lady was standing in front of the wall of fire. I was about to step forward when a group of people in black robes descended from the sky. I could only hide in the dark and saw them take the young lady away. It’s too late to catch up.”

"Afterwards, I rushed back to the head's mansion, and accidentally ran into a man in black throwing the body of a young girl into the fire. He found me, and immediately raised his sword to kill me. That man has superb martial arts skills, and I am not his The opponent was about to die by his sword, but fortunately the elders in the gate arrived in time, and seeing that the situation was wrong, he immediately turned around and ran away."

"The elders inspected the head of the sect and more than [-] other corpses in the mansion, and found that the fatal injuries were very sharp sword wounds, and then found a nameplate of the Tianji sect at the scene, and the elders believed that it was the Tianji sect who wanted to stabilize the world. No matter what Lu Wencheng explained, they would not listen to the head of the sect because of the status of the number one sword sect. Even the Wenyang sect split later, but all the branches and departments still swore no contact with the Tianji sect.

But I clearly remember that the man in black who wanted to kill me was one of the men in black who took away Miss. The man threw the body of a girl with the same height as Miss into the fire to cover up that Miss was still alive. the truth. "

"Afterwards, I found out the identities of the men in black through clues. They were members of the Falling Shadow Sect. I went to check the remains of the fire scene and the corpses. On one of the servants, I saw another A wound, it was an extremely small wound, not a sword wound, but caused by a lean and short weapon, and the weapon used by the man in black I bumped into on the day of the incident was a sharp dagger. "

"That is to say, the Luoying Sect was responsible for the destruction of Wenyangmen, and then planted it on Lu Wencheng, and Shi Qinghan even took Miss away after that."

Xing Guang took a long breath and a short breath, and his grip on Fu Peibai became even stronger, "I am very puzzled why Shi Qinghan did this. If he has any grievances with Lu Wencheng and wants to use it to frame him, then why did he take the young lady away and let him go?" The world thought Miss was dead."

"I rushed to the Luoying Sect's stronghold in the northwest without stopping. At that time, I was young and bloody, and I only wanted to rescue the lady as soon as possible, so I was so fearless that I broke into the Luoying Sect. Yes, I clamored to avenge the head of the sect and asked Shi Qinghan to let the lady go, but Shi Qinghan didn't kill me directly after hearing this, but put forward a condition."

Fu Peibai's heart tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "What conditions?"

Xing Guang half-closed his eyes, with a look of pain on his face, "That is also the most regretful thing I have ever done in my life. I shouldn't, I shouldn't have promised her, and I shouldn't have sent Miss into her clutches."

"She proposed back then that as long as I listened to her and helped her do things, she would not hurt Miss, and even taught us martial arts. In the future, after we helped her complete what she wanted to do, she would let us go free. Angrily scolded her, killed Miss's whole family, and asked us to help her, it was absolutely impossible, she said with a smile, it's okay if she doesn't want to, she has poisoned Miss with cold poison, if she doesn't take the antidote, the poison will kill her immediately."

"I was so frightened at the time, I didn't dare to think whether it was true or not. I could only agree, and she threatened me with the life of the young lady not to tell the truth about the destruction of the Wenyang Clan to the young lady, otherwise she would kill us immediately. I was confused. should go down.

After that, she threw me into a burrow, which was full of children about my age, and I met the young lady there, she really didn't know anything, she really thought that her father-killing enemy was Lu Wencheng. "

Xing Guang closed his eyes and breathed heavily, "In order for Miss to survive in that hole like purgatory on earth, I did extreme things. In the end, both of us survived, but since then, Miss She never smiled at me again, maybe she hates me, no, she must hate me."

"We started to practice martial arts with Shi Qinghan. When she was 16 years old, she changed her appearance and entered Tianjizong, taking the place of Lu Wencheng's eldest daughter, Lu Yanran. At that time, we knew that Shi Qinghan had a deep hatred for Lu Wencheng. She was planning A revenge plan that has been brewing for a long time.

Only then did I vaguely realize that Shi Qinghan took all the trouble to kill the head family not to frame Lu Wencheng, but to make the young lady think that Lu Wencheng was her bloody enemy and make the young lady deeply hate Lu Wencheng, but I But I don't know the reason behind her doing so. "

"Over the years, I have been obedient to Shi Qinghan on the surface, searching for the truth behind my back. After trying to find the truth, I took the lady away. Until not long ago, on the way to the southwest, the lady told me that she didn't want to live like this anymore. She wanted to Be free, Fu Peibai, she is because of you."

Xing Guang opened his eyes suddenly, and the corners of his eyes were wet. He stared at Fu Peibai, his tone mixed with unwillingness and jealousy, "I really envy you, but I also know that I have no right to envy you. I promised Shi Qinghan that ridiculous After the condition, I am no longer qualified to stand with the lady, maybe the only thing I can do is to help her get the freedom she wants."

"Not long ago, I found an old housekeeper in the head of the mansion. He just left the Wen mansion when the incident happened, so he escaped." Xing Guang sat up straight, and the hand holding Fu Peibai's arm trembled "When I was chatting with him about the past, he told me that the young lady was not born to the head of the sect, but the young lady was entrusted by the head when he was traveling abroad and adopted back home."

Fu Peibai's pupils were startled, and he grabbed Xing Guang's arm instead, "What? Isn't Shiqi the child of Wen Yang's head?! How could it be? Then who are her biological parents?!"

Xing Guang looked at her silently, and opened his mouth slightly after a while, "I couldn't figure out Shi Qinghan's purpose for doing this before, but at that moment, I seemed to understand it all at once, Fu Peibai, I don't think I need to explain, you should also I can guess."

Fu Peibai's voice was tight and her mind was in chaos. She had thought of an extremely frightening fact, but she didn't dare to ask for proof. She could only hold onto Xing Guang and said shyly, "I...no I understand what you mean."

Xing Guang smiled, and after telling these things, he seemed to be relieved, and leaned against the tree trunk completely, "Promise me, find a way to take Shiqi away, go east fifteen miles, and go to Xichuan Valley to find the doctor. If Shi Qi’s cold poison can be cured, there is another person there, he can tell you all the truth, go.”

Fu Peibai was about to ask something, Xing Guang suddenly took out the Yanyue dagger, pressed it to his heart, and then stuffed the handle of the dagger into Fu Peibai's hand.

"Kill me." He said calmly.

Fu Peibai hurriedly withdrew his hands, "What are you doing?!"

Xing Guang held her wrist to keep her from moving, and glanced at the approaching black shadow not far behind her, "Kill me in front of Shi Qinghan, so that you can have a chance to take Shiqi away, hurry up! "

Xing Guang pushed the dagger an inch toward his heart, the sharp blade pierced the flesh instantly, and the blood soaked the black robe.

"quick!"

Fu Peibai gritted his teeth, "I... can't do it."

Xing Guang didn't force her any more, he gripped the dagger hard and gave it more than half of his heart. He took a deep breath and pressed Fu Peibai's hand, "Don't let go."

After finishing speaking, his pupils tended to slacken, his body temperature dropped sharply, and finally he slid to the ground, only his head was still touching the tree trunk, in a dense forest, the cold moonlight shone on his face , reflecting his bright smile.

This smile is the same as 15 years ago, when he first saw that delicate and beautiful girl carved from jade in Wen's residence.

Xing Guang closed his eyes completely, and his tall body was lifeless.

In the oncoming black mist, Shi Qinghan transformed into a figure. She glanced at Xing Guang's corpse, then looked at the dull Fu Peibai, and asked in a deep voice, "What did he say to you?"

Fu Peibai let go of the dagger, shook his head slowly, Shi Qinghan seemed to be in disbelief, and approached her, "Did he mention Seventeen to you?"

Fu Peibai was shocked when he heard Shiqi's name, and took two steps back, his dark pupils were like a deep pool of water, "When I caught up with him, he was already dying and unable to speak, but I will follow what you said He made up for the last knife, you said that if I kill him, you will give Shi Qi the antidote, can you still count on it?"

Shi Qinghan stared at Fu Peibai like a cold-blooded animal, cold and sticky, and kept wandering on Fu Peibai's face. After a while, Shi Qinghan looked away, "Naturally."

Fu Peibai hummed in a low voice, "He is dead, and I hope you will allow him to be buried in peace for the sake of what he has done for you for many years."

Shi Qinghan sneered, and flew away, leaving behind two ethereal words in the air, "As you wish."

After Shi Qinghan's figure completely disappeared into the forest, Fu Peibai let go of the trembling hand behind his back. She looked at Xing Guang's body, and the other person had a peaceful expression, as if his long-cherished wish had come to an end.

She dug a pit beside her, moved Xing Guang's body into it, and slowly buried the loess. When the last handful of loess fell from her fingers, she said in a hoarse voice, "I promise you, I will protect ten Qi, don't worry, she will never be hurt again."
