Hualuo Chang'an

Luo Changxi pulled Gong Yining and stopped after walking a few steps.

Gongyi sensed that something was wrong, supported her arm and asked, "Luo Changxi, what's wrong with you?"

"Help me along the path, don't let anyone see me." Luo Changxi took a breath, and then continued, "During the competition just now, I was plotted against, and it happened to my old shoulder injury."

"Conspiracy?!" Gongyi Ning's eyes widened, "That Chen Gan?"

"not him."

"Who is that?"

Luo Changxi shook his head: "There are so many people in the field, I don't know who they are."

"You... didn't you say... didn't you say that your injuries are all healed?" Gong Yining was worried and anxious, "What should I do? Do you want to see an imperial doctor?"

"No need." Luo Changxi shook his head, "I don't want the emperor to know about this."

"Can……"

"Go back and have a look." Luo Changxi paused, and then added, "It shouldn't be too bad."

"By the way, where's your horse?"

"Because of the pain, I couldn't ride the horse, so I said I would go for a walk with you, and Jing Qing took the horse back."

In fact, when Luo Changxi was plotted against, she only felt that the blow hit her sore spot, causing her to take a few steps back, but after she recovered, it seemed that the pain didn't hurt much anymore.But just now, that shoulder injury started to hurt again, which seemed to be getting worse, and Luo Changxi became alert now, feeling that this matter might not be as simple as she thought before.

Firstly, it was because of the unbearable pain, and secondly, it was because of worries, which made Luo Changxi's complexion not very good-looking.

Gong Yining suddenly became nervous, looked around carefully, and chose a path to walk.The two of them walked unhurriedly, and chose to walk along the remote side road with few people. After a while, they detoured into the red maple forest.Before they went down the mountain, one rode a horse and the other took a sedan chair, so they didn't think so, but now it was a bit far to go up the mountain on foot.Not long after walking, Gong Yining became a little out of breath.

"Let's take a break first."

Luo Changxi paused.

After hearing this, Gong Yining let out a breath, but when she raised her head and was about to speak, she suddenly noticed a person standing not far in front of her.

The man was still an acquaintance.

——Qu Yiliu.

Qu Yiliu put on a relaxed and comfortable appearance, leaning against a red maple tree.Only this time, instead of carrying the wine, she held a knife and squinted at the two of them.

This is by no means a chance encounter, but rather like staying here early, waiting for them to come.

Gong Yining had a vague feeling of bad premonition, so she stepped out first, stood in front of Luo Changxi, and asked very bluntly, "Boss Qu, what does this mean?"

Qu Yiliu smiled, and finally stood up straight.

"I heard that His Highness got a precious sword, so I specially brought my broken sword to ask for advice."

After saying this, Qu Yiliu pointed at the two of them the saber in his bosom, the saber was really ordinary, there was nothing brilliant about it, it was an ordinary saber with a wide back and thin blade.

Gong Yining was even more surprised, but thinking of Luo Changxi's current situation, it was absolutely inappropriate to do anything again, so she gritted her teeth and took a step forward.She thought in her heart, no matter what, she must stop this Qu Yiliu first.I just hate that they took a small path to avoid the eyes and ears, the place is desolate and remote, there is not even a passing guard, even if they want to call for help, they can't call.

I don't know how powerful Qu Yiliu's kung fu is.

Gongyi was calculating in her heart, but she didn't dare to act rashly.

Luo Changxi suddenly understood.

All of this is not so much a coincidence as it is a well-designed situation.That being the case, it is absolutely impossible to avoid it easily.Luo Changxi understood, and quickly made up his mind. With one hand, he pulled back Gongyi Ning in front of him, and with the other hand, he pulled out the Yang Devouring Knife from his waist.

Seeing her like this, Qu Yiliu laughed again.

"My original plan was to invite His Highness to fight on the mountain tomorrow, but I didn't expect that His Highness would have such an opportunity today. As the saying goes, an opportunity must never be missed, so I can only recklessly change the date to today Already!"

As soon as Qu Yiliu finished speaking, he charged forward with a knife, and rushed towards Luo Changxi.

Luo Changxi forced himself to suppress the pain in his shoulder, and hurriedly pushed Gong Yining away first, and the knife was pressed against him.But within these three or two moves, Luo Changxi felt that he was unable to catch up.I haven't seen him for five years, and Qu Yiliu's kung fu is even better than before. Even Luo Changxi may not be relaxed when he is not injured, let alone at this time when her injury is flared up, she is powerless to resist.

Gong Yining naturally noticed it too. She was anxious and jumped over after a few wrong steps, wanting to rush into the battle.

Seeing that Luo Changxi retreated again and again, he had already retreated to a slope, and it was inevitable to avoid it.But Qu Yiliu pressed on every step of the way, the two fought faster and faster, there was no gap to get through.However, Gong Yining didn't have a weapon in her hand. After hesitating for a long time, she turned her heart and slammed into Qu Yiliu's knife with her flesh and blood.

"Gong Yi Ning!"

Luo Changxi screamed out in shock, his mind was in turmoil.

Gong Yining's eyes were determined, without any fear, she closed her eyes and stepped forward.

Qu Yiliu's sword kept moving, his eyes were full of coldness, without any hesitation, the blade slashed straight at Gongyi Ning who was in front of him!Luo Changxi gritted her teeth and propped herself up, wanting to go up to save her again, but she was so short of breath after all, seeing that Gong Yining was about to be stabbed...

At this moment, suddenly a faster and more urgent person rushed in and fell in front of Gongyi Ning.

Qu Yiliu was also taken aback. After taking a closer look, she couldn't allow her to think about it, so she quickly turned around and withdrew her strength, and stopped the saber in her hand at the last moment——

The blade was only an inch away from the man.

The person who scrambled and rushed to Gongyi Ning's body did not close his eyes like Gongyi Ning at all. Instead, he raised his face, opened his eyes, and looked at Qu Yiliu steadfastly. The knife in front of me is as if it doesn't exist.

Gong Yining waited for a long time without feeling any pain, she opened her eyes in surprise, and was even more surprised when she saw it.

"Shuangxiu?! You... why are you here?"

The one who rolled down the slope and stood in front of Gong Yining was Ling Shuangxiu.

Ling Shuangxiu came down in a hurry. After she stopped, before she could answer Gong Yining's words, she coughed violently.After coughing for a while, she raised her head again, and said with a smile, "I was in a hurry just now, and I stepped on the ground, and accidentally fell down the slope, disturbing your competition, is it okay?"

Qu Yiliu has already put away the knife.

She also looked at Ling Shuangxiu and smiled: "It doesn't matter."

Ling Shuangxiu stopped talking and didn't get up, just looked at Qu Yiliu, her gaze was as deep as an abyss and as soft as water, as if it could melt away those who looked into it bit by bit.

Qu Yiliu seemed to feel it, and stretched out a hand towards her.

Ling Shuangxiu lowered her head, passed her hand up, and slowly stood up with that hand.

"I... didn't mistake you."

"Miss is extremely intelligent, so she can't be wrong."

Qu Yiliu helped Ling Shuangxiu up, but he didn't let her go after she got up.She frowned and thought for a while, and when she looked at Luo Changxi again, she resumed her usual attitude of facing Luo Changxi as a "half friend".

"Today's competition can't be counted." Qu Yiliu said with a smile, "I have to invite His Highness to another battle in the future."

"it is good."

Luo Changxi's face was cold and his eyes were heavy.

Qu Yiliu didn't take it seriously, turned his head and looked at Ling Shuangxiu again, and said, "Miss is not in good health, it is not suitable to stay outside for a long time, so I will send you back, okay?"

Ling Shuangxiu looked at Luo Changxi and Gong Yining behind her, then turned her head to look at Qu Yiliu, and nodded slightly to her.

Qu Yiliu also stopped talking to Luo Changxi, and actually helped Ling Shuangxiu away very carefully.

It took Gongyining a long time to come back to her senses.

However, after she came to her senses this time, she remembered Luo Changxi's situation at this time.Before, she and Chen Gan fought with all their strength, and then they were plotted against, and the pain broke out. Just now, they had such a thrilling fight!

Gong Yining ran up a few steps, and hugged Luo Changxi's precarious body.

But Luo Changxi was very upset at this time.

Long before coming to Autumn Hunting, Ling Shuangxiu had asked her if anyone had been to Chengning County Prince's Mansion.At that time, Luo Changxi didn't want Ling Shuangxiu to know such a complicated character as Qu Yiliu, so he said no.Later, when they arrived at Hongye Villa, after hearing what Gong Yining said, Luo Changxi vaguely guessed that the person who saved Ling Shuangxiu at that time was probably Qu Yiliu.

But Qu Yiliu is a woman.

Where did the saying "Shuangxiu likes someone" come from?

A woman...was a woman again? !Originally, Luo Changxi was lucky and thought it was Gong Yining talking nonsense, but just now he saw Ling Shuangxiu with his own eyes...

"Could it be that Qu Yiliu is the savior that Shuangxiu is looking for?" Gong Yining also recalled, completely forgetting that she planned to hide the fact that "Shuangxiu is in love with a woman" from Luo Changxi, and babbled He started to say, "It's over, what should I do? That Qu Yiliu was clearly trying to kill you just now, she must be from Eagle Castle! It can be seen that she just now...she...she saw that it was Shuangxiu, and she went to the hospital again. Stop it, what happened?"

Of course Luo Changxi understood that Qu Yiliu really wanted to kill her just now.If it wasn't for Ling Shuangxiu rushing out to rescue him suddenly, she and Gong Yining might have died under Qu Yiliu's knife.Ling Shuangxiu has always been smart, so she must have seen it.But Ling Shuangxiu lightly covered up this life-and-death situation with the words "competition".

She wanted to save Luo Changxi and Gong Yining, but...

It seems that they don't want Luo Changxi and Gong Yining to pursue Qu Yiliu.

Luo Changxi didn't dare to think deeply, but Ling Shuangxiu's eyes kept flashing in her mind.

Seeing that Luo Changxi was silent, Gongyi thought she had been hurt somewhere else, and hurriedly asked, "Luo Changxi, what's wrong with you? Did it hurt so much? Or did that Qu Yiliu hurt you again?" ?”

Luo Changxi glanced at Gong Yining upon hearing the sound.

But when he looked at it, he happened to see Gong Yining's eyes.

Yes, that's the look.

This look that really shouldn't be there is almost the same look as Ling Shuangxiu's, and it is so firm at the moment of life and death. When looking at her, it is always soft and heavy, as if it contains many secrets and thoughts. .

Luo Changxi suddenly saw clearly.

She finally understood what was wrong.

"Gong Yi Ning."

"Ok?"

"Did I think too much and misunderstood you? Or..." Luo Changxi stared into Gong Yining's eyes and said slowly, "Could it be that you are interested in me?"

"Yes...what's the point?"

Gong Yining was a little timid.

In fact, she had long thought about whether one day she would have the courage to express her heart to Luo Changxi.But at that time, she wanted to go back and think about it, but she didn't dare to ask her to do it.Later, she imagined that one day Luo Changxi would understand by himself and understand her heart.But what about after understanding?She was also afraid that Luo Changxi would look down on her and dislike her.After so much entanglement, Gong Yining's last bit of courage was worn away by herself.

I wanted her to know, but I was afraid that she would know.

But, why did she see it so suddenly?

That's right, Luo Changxi said that sincerity cannot be concealed.Since she couldn't hide it, she admitted it.Gongyi Ning bit her lip and nodded fiercely.

But Luo Changxi didn't respond at all.

But since Gong Yining had already admitted it, she made up her mind to ask to the end.

"So, you... would you like to... be like me? Do you have me in your heart?"

Luo Changxi was slightly taken aback.

She didn't expect that Gong Yining not only admitted it directly, but also dared to ask her what she meant.

The pain on her shoulder was severe, and her head was a little dizzy. Although she was still standing, she felt as if she would fall over at any time.But even so, Luo Changxi still pulled his hand back from Gong Yining's.

"I... have no one in my heart."

Luo Changxi was in so much pain that he couldn't help but took a deep breath.

"I don't like any man, let alone a woman."

"Impossible...I...don't believe..."

Gong Yining didn't want to believe it. She always felt that Luo Changxi was different to her. Even if she didn't like Luo Changxi as deeply as she did, it was absolutely impossible for her to have no feelings.Even she was foolishly fantasizing and looking forward to it, maybe Luo Changxi has always been interested in her, maybe they are just wishful thinking.

"It's the same if you don't believe me. I don't like Chen Gan, Ling Zhanming, and I don't like...Gong Yining."

Luo Changxi looked at Gong Yining without any emotion in his eyes.

"turn out to be……"

It turned out to be the case.

Gong Yining suddenly let out a breath.

It turned out that the word "Gongyi Ning" was in Luo Changxi's heart, and it was no different from people like Chen Qian and Ling Zhanming.It turned out that all of this was her own sentimentality and wishful thinking.

"Luo Changxi, I understand. I'm going down the mountain now and I won't come back."

The author has something to say: This is not a good time to confess...
