Wrong Changhuan

Since Chang Huan left Zizai Valley, Lin Xun and others waited for two days before leaving, and returned to Jiangling after a five-day journey.

After saying goodbye, Chenyu went back to the post house directly.

As soon as Lin Xun and the others returned to the Lin Mansion, Yang Yan said that he wanted to settle accounts with Cheng Yunchu, but he received a letter from the capital before he left.

The letter was written by Cheng Yunchu, Yang Yan froze there after reading it, and said in a deep voice, "A Ying woke up...it was the medicine given by Nangong Ding."

Lin Xun couldn't believe it. After reading the letter quickly, he said, "It took you five years to develop an antidote to wake her up...how could..."

Yang Yan was disappointed and said, "This is not the most desperate thing. The letter also said that the soul-locking needle was also given by Nangong Ding... and said... that he is very human...the needle can't be taken out... .”

Lin Xun didn't want to believe it, and continued to read the rest of the content. Fang lost his mind and staggered a step, barely falling, and murmured, "How could this be..."

The two looked at each other in disbelief for a moment.

Yang Yandao, "There is another way..."

"You mean, Nangong Ding?"

"Well... that's the only way..."

On the same day, another news quickly spread throughout the rivers and lakes-the high priest of Wufengbao died suddenly in the middle of the night. Some people said that they witnessed a yellow dragon with two wings hovering above Wufengbao and ascending to the sky.

The sudden news of Nangong Ding's death caught Yang Yan and Lin Xun by surprise.

Kansai Mingyue Tower, Jingyuan.

The cold lamp drinks alone, and the lonely shadow is accompanied by plum fragrance.

The snow is as fresh as before, the courtyard remains the same, and people are hesitant.It seems that there is no difference, it seems that everything has changed.

After Man Qiu came back after saying goodbye to Chang Huan, he saw An Cuo sitting on the ground on the porch steps, staring at the plum tree in a daze.

Man Qiu said, "Master, it's cold here, let's go back to the house."

An Cuo was indifferent, and said lightly, "She... went back?"

"Yes."

"Did she... say anything?"

Man Qiu shook his head.

A trace of loss passed by, An Cuo was overwhelmed, suddenly lowered his head, smiled wryly, his eyes flushed.

An mistake, what else do you want to expect?People, you drove them away yourself, didn't you? !

"Master, it's night--"

An Cuo interrupted coldly, "You also retreat!"

Man Qiu bowed his head and saluted, sighed in his heart, reluctantly obeyed the order and left the courtyard.

An Cuo sat on the porch all night.She couldn't figure out why there would be someone stuck in her heart, her heart ached when she saw it, and it hurt even more when she didn't see him.It felt like, seeing or not seeing, was wrong.

In the afternoon of the next day, Jinxiu Garden, East Wing.

Hearing that the other muff was made for herself, Jing Jiuge was flattered, and layers of warmth flowed out unconsciously from her cold eyebrows, as if melting her already numb heart.

Jing Jiuge looked at Xie Baitang, and said softly, "Really...is it for me?"

"Hmm..." Xie Baitang was cutting the pink brocade in his hand, and suddenly raised his head and said, "You don't think my needlework is bad, do you?"

Jing Jiuge had a sore nose, smiled slightly, and said, "How could it be?"

"I remember, you used to say that my female workers are in a mess... If the things you made one day caught your eye, you would pick all the pears from the century-old pear tree in Wuyou Valley and give them to me... "

Jing Jiuge's eyes were filled with tenderness, and he said, "You still remember this..."

"There are so many people who praise me that I can't even remember...but you are the only one who put me down..." Xie Baitang said, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was young and vividly remembered.

With this smile and words, Jing Jiuge was completely stunned, until Xie Baitang shook his hand in front of her eyes, and then he came back to his senses.

Jing Jiuge's ears were already red, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes drooped slightly. He picked up the teapot to refill his cup in a panic, overshadowing the embarrassment of this moment.

Xie Baitang was wearing a needle and thread, and said nonchalantly, "What are you thinking? I've lost my mind..."

Jing Jiuge collected himself, raised his eyes to look at the person opposite, and said slowly, "A Tang...for the matter of Xie Cunfeng, have you ever hated me?"

Seeing that the end of the pink thread had penetrated the pinhole and was just about to be pulled out, Xie Baitang suddenly lowered his hands, smoothed the white fox fur on his leg, and said softly, "Why should I hate you? The fisherman drowned at sea, the hunter died Shanlin... Saburo is a man in the Jianghu, and with his temperament, I knew that one day he would end up in this Jianghu, but I didn't expect it to be so soon..."

Xie Baitang was depressed, paused for a moment, then raised his eyes and looked straight at him, "Besides, it was Yin Tianming who killed Sanlang, not you..."

As if that gaze was too hot and would burn him with just one glance, Jing Jiuge tilted his head slightly and lowered his eyes carefully to avoid it, and hurriedly changed the subject, saying, "Then... when did you know... I came to Mingyue Tower?"

"In the second year after the wedding, when Yixian appeared... I knew that this poison... must have come from you." Xie Baitang suddenly laughed as he spoke.

"What are you laughing at?" Jing Jiuge was very curious.

"Suddenly remembered that you used to say that your dream is to be the one with the highest martial arts among all the people who can poison; among the people who can do martial arts, the one who can poison the most..."

Jing Jiuge showed a wry smile, that dream was ended before it even started, and there was no chance to realize it again. "At that time, I was too young to think that Jianghu was the Jianghu in my imagination."

Xie Baitang asked back, "Isn't it?"

Jing Jiuge shook his head helplessly, and said, "It's not just the rivers and lakes, even people are not what you imagined..." Jing Jiuge looked at Xie Baitang with blazing eyes and said, "And what you think, you see with your own eyes Yes, what I heard with my own ears may not even be the truth..."

"Does that...include you?"

"A Tang, everyone is alive wearing a mask... I... am no exception."

A Tang, just like you think you understand me, in fact, it's all an illusion.I am no longer the Jing Jiuge you knew back then.

Xie Baitang was deeply moved by the helplessness and sadness in that expression, so he comforted him, "When the truth is false, the false is also true, and when the false is true, the true is also false...True is true and false, false is true, in this world, the original That's it... why bother to be too fussy and make things difficult for yourself..."

"A Tang, you still haven't changed at all..." It was still the same, calm and indifferent.

Jing Jiuge is fortunate that she is still there, and has remained in the past without changing.

"I have gone through so many things and lost so much...Actually, who can remain the same...It's just that there are some things that I can't forget..." Xie Baitang was stunned, thinking of Xie Cunfeng and Nuan Nuan, his heart skipped a beat Pain, red eyes, but still took a deep breath and continued, "It can only be buried in the deepest part of my heart... You can only cover up the wound, find a reason for yourself that is worth living... and then tell yourself , tomorrow, everything will be fine...Actually, only you know that everything has changed, and you can never go back to the way it was before..."

"Ah Tang..." Jing Jiuge approached Xie Baitang, knelt down on the floor, then hugged her gently, and murmured, "I'm sorry..."

Except for the night when Xie Baitang first arrived at Mingyue Tower, Jing Jiuge held her in a coma and kept watch all night.This was the first time when Xie Baitang was awake, he held her quietly in his arms.

Xie Baitang leaned on Jing Jiuge's shoulder and said softly, "Did you know? If people have no pain, only the humble happiness is left, and they will forget it after a long time. It turns out that it is happiness..."

Tears fell from the corners of Jing Jiuge's eyes, and he squeezed out a smile and murmured, "How could I not know..."

When a person has only pain left, the only remaining happiness in the past years is the reason to support her to live.

Jing Jiuge let go of Xie Baitang after finishing speaking, as if he was admiring the most soul-stirring treasure, his hands slowly touched the beautiful face that lingered in his heart for most of his life, but he could only see it when he dreamed back at midnight, and then moved closer , gently kissed those pink thin lips.

Xie Baitang never expected such a move, and suddenly pushed the person in front of him away with a numb scalp, got up from the warm mat and took a step back, looked at the person still kneeling on the ground in disbelief, shocked, and said, "What are you doing?" What?"

The downcast eyes seemed to be looking at a stranger, as if disgusted by that kiss.

Jing Jiuge had a panoramic view, but his heart ached deeply.Those icy phoenix eyes had already been dimmed and wet with tears.

Jing Jiuge looked at Xie Baitang, suddenly trembled, and smiled helplessly.

Loved for 18 years, endured for 18 years, and in the end, all I got was this result.

Jing Jiuge, since the day Xie Tianqing died, you have clearly decided to keep her in your heart forever, why didn't you hold back today? !

Jing Jiuge suddenly regretted so much, he got up and murmured, "I fell in love with someone I shouldn't love...I'm sorry..." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards the door.

Xie Baitang felt a bit of heartache, and said, "I want to see Xiao Nuan..."

"Okay...I'll make arrangements..." After Jing Jiuge finished speaking, he opened the door and staggered away silently.

Xie Baitang sat down in a daze, but he had already lost his mind.

After Jing Jiuge went out, he ordered Bai Qing, and then took Bai Shao directly out of Jinxiu Garden, and then out of Mingyue Tower.

When Chang Huan was brought by Bai Qing from the backyard to the east wing of the front yard, he saw Xie Baitang sitting on the short side, with red eyes and a heavy complexion, as if he had been hit by something.

"Aniang--" Chang Huan called out, then hurriedly squatted down and approached, "What happened? Did Jing Jiuge bully you?"

Only then did Xie Baitang come to his senses, hugged Chang Huan into his arms, and murmured, "Xiao Nuan, why have you been away for so long?"

Chang Huan resisted the pain in his back, not letting himself look strange, and said with concern, "What happened? Tell me--"

Xie Baitang let go of Chang Huan, looked at the wound on the corner of her mouth, stretched out his hand to gently stroke it, and changed the subject, saying, "Why is it hurt? Does it hurt?"

"Yesterday the snowy road was slippery. I accidentally fell and broke it. It's okay..." Chang Huan lied, wiped Xie Baitang's tears, and then said with red eyes, "Mother, yes I didn't protect you well..."

When Lou Xiaolou heard that his subordinates came to report, his face became angry, he picked up the horsewhip hanging on the wall inside the house, and followed him to Jinxiu Garden.

Chang Huan and Xie Baitang were dragged into the courtyard by the servants brought by Lou Xiaolou.

At this time, the snow in the courtyard had already been cleared away, exposing the damp gray bricks.

Seeing this, Bai Qing backed away quietly, then listened to Lou Xiaolou's voice, "Bai Qing, I never like to be tipped off—"

After hearing this, Bai Qing glanced at the gate of the courtyard, but stood aside with her head bowed.

Chang Huan asked, "Lou Xiaolou, we didn't provoke you, what do you want to do?"

Lou Xiaolou was dressed in red, knocking on the whip with one hand, looked at Chang Huan and sneered, "I can't tell, you are still in good shape, and you recovered so quickly..."

Xie Baitang's own arms were restrained, seeing Chang Huan in the same situation, he reprimanded, "What are you trying to do to me, don't touch her!"

After hearing this, Lou Xiaolou turned his head and said, "If you don't tell me, I will settle accounts with you... Xie Baitang, why didn't I see that you still have such ability?!" After a pause, he smiled and said, "I will teach you the rules for my master today! Since she is not comfortable, how can I make you comfortable, that is too unfair, isn't it?"

Chang Huan roared angrily, "Lou Xiaolou, how dare you?!"

Lou Xiaolou shrugged and said, "If it was before, I wouldn't dare, but today, who asked me to be the landlord... Tell me, would I dare?!" As soon as the words fell, the whip was straight Called directly in front of Xie Baitang.

"No!" Chang Huan opened his eyes angrily, exclaimed, tried his best but couldn't get away, then turned his head and bit the hand that was holding him violently, only to see the boy let go of his hand in pain.

Xie Baitang didn't have any precautions, he received a whip, and there was pain in front of him, and he let out a sound of pain.

Using both hands and feet, Chang Huan struggled like crazy, but took a step forward, opened his arms, and stood in front of Xie Baitang. He shook his head and said, "I beg you, let me go—" In this situation, even if Chang Huan can escape with ease, but he is not sure that he can take Xie Baitang away.

Five or six guards around were about to step forward when Lou Xiaolou raised his hand slightly, and those people took two steps back.

Lou Xiaolou put down his hands, looked at the opposite side with a playful face, and said, "Lin Xiaonuan, begging for help, why should you have a begging attitude... What are you doing?"

Chang Huan thought of what Yang Yan once said, when it's time to show weakness, show weakness, don't be ashamed.Survival is the most important thing.Protecting the people you want to protect is the most important thing.Thinking of this, he knelt down on his knees towards the downstairs, looked straight at him and said, "I beg you... let my mother go..."

Xie Baitang said sadly, "Xiaonuan, even if Auntie was beaten to death by him, you don't need to beg him...you get up--" After finishing speaking, he looked up at Lou Xiaolou again, and said righteously, "Lou Xiaolou, If you have the ability, kill me today...Anyway, I have no intention of leaving here alive..."

"Aunt..." Chang Huan turned his head and shook his head slightly at her.

After hearing this, Lou Xiaolou showed a ferocious face, and said, "Xie Baitang, don't you think you are particularly great? Today, I will avenge my master's revenge for being cut off by Xie Cunfeng back then, so why not!"

"What did you say?" Xie Baitang said in disbelief, "Say it again..."

"Let me tell you, 17 years ago, Xie Cunfeng broke my master's tendons in his hands, as well as the hamstrings in both feet... You pretend to be ignorant, show it to someone..."

It seemed that Xie Baitang's expression angered Lou Xiaolou, who suddenly raised his whip.

Seeing this, Chang Huan didn't care about anything else, got up suddenly, turned around without hesitation, looked at Xie Baitang with a slight smile, and stood in front of her.

This whip is full of strength.

There were new wounds and old marks on the back, and blood oozed out instantly.Just this time, Chang Huan almost fainted from the pain.

She gritted her teeth and did not cry out, but still staggered forward and put her arms around Xie Baitang's waist, choosing to protect her in front of her.

"Aniang...I will protect you...don't be afraid..." Chang Huan murmured, and just after finishing speaking, he whipped three times...

Every time, there was only a muffled grunt and a slightly trembling body in response.

"Xiao Nuan--" Xie Baitang screamed heart-piercingly, but he could only watch the whip fall on Chang Huan's back, unable to do anything by himself.

"Xie Baitang, looking at someone you care about but being helpless, this feeling, isn't it uncomfortable... Then you will know how I feel when I see Master suffering when it rains and snows..."

After Lou Xiaolou finished speaking, he whipped down again, Chang Huan coughed lightly, and blood sprayed from the corner of his mouth onto Xie Baitang's shoulders and back.

When An Cuo was sitting on the floor leaning against the corner of the bed and dozing off, Man Qiu came in panting to wake her up, and said anxiously, "Master, the host went to Jinxiu Garden, something happened to Lin Xiaonuan..."

After An Mi heard it wrongly, he woke up in an instant, and ran towards the Jinxiu Garden in the east with Qi Yungong. He ignored the main entrance, crossed the courtyard wall in the west, and rushed forward.

When the expected pain did not come, Chang Huan turned his head and saw a white figure who grabbed Lou Xiaolou's whip with his bare hands.

"A mistake--" Chang Huan whispered.

An Cuo didn't look back at her.

"An Cuo, do you want to rebel?"

"You know that I am not interested in your position as the landlord..."

"You really want to protect her?" Lou Xiaolou pointed at Chang Huan.

An Cuo said coldly, "I said, she is mine..." This sentence is as decisive as it is!

Lou Xiaolou snorted, twisted the corners of her mouth, and said, "How did I hear that you kicked her out last night?"

An Cuo didn't change his face, looked straight back, and said calmly, "I asked her to come back to recover from the injury for two days, why, should I report this to the landlord?"

Just as Lou Xiaolou was about to take a step forward, he saw a guard beside him approaching him and whispering something in his ear.

Feeling unwilling, Lou Xiaolou said, "This time, you're lucky... let's go..." He said and left Jinxiu Garden with his guards.

Chang Huan let go of Xie Baitang tremblingly, his forehead was already sweating, his face was pale, he turned around to look at the back of the white clothes, smiled in tears, and said softly, "Ah Cuo--" Just after the words fell, he was already unconscious personnel.

An Cuo turned his head and immediately changed his expression. Amid Xie Baitang's exclamation, he hugged Chang Huan tightly and hugged him tightly.
