Lonely City without Frost

"The decisive battle is postponed, are you sure?!" Zuo Wushuang almost dropped the wine in his hand, his expression excited, "What's going on?"

When the men who gathered for a drink saw her, they immediately put away their anger and replied respectfully, "We don't know either, it's just the news that I received suddenly today. Everyone is guessing the reason, but no one knows."

No matter how much she thought about it, she still couldn't figure out the meaning of what they did. Zuo Wushuang suddenly felt that birthdays were boring, and wine was even more boring.

Just as she was about to leave, the curtain of the restaurant was suddenly lifted, and a familiar figure came into view.

"The building is full of flowers!"

"I thought the possibility of you being here should be quite high." Hua Manlou smiled after hearing her voice, "Wushuang, long time no see."

In fact, it wasn't that long, but it seemed like a lifetime to her, Zuo Wushuang nodded, "Long time no see."

There were not many people left in the restaurant, and it was late at night, Zuo Wushuang looked at the person in front of him who was still so graceful, filled with emotion but had nowhere to release, finally just sighed, "Why did you come here?" here?"

"Because I have to come to the capital to ask someone for something, I didn't know you were there until I came, so I came to look for you."

"Huh? Please, please?" She tilted her head in doubt, "Do you also need someone to ask?"

Hua Manlou couldn't help laughing, "Naturally, I also have such times. You know that my medical skills have not been very good."

When he mentioned the word medical skill, Zuo Wushuang had already reacted, but he almost called out Ximen Chuuxue's name directly, but fortunately he stopped in time.

Since Hua Manlou avoids mentioning his name here, he will naturally have his considerations, Zuo Wushuang understands this even though he is not smart enough.

"...Is that so, what about now?"

"It just so happened that the ancients were gathering together. If Wushuang wants to, it's okay to go over and have a glass of wine together."

When Hua Manlou speaks, he can always make a sentence so gentle that people can't refuse, even Zuo Wushuang is no exception.

Originally, the ninth day of August was special to me, but since the news of the postponement of the previous decisive battle had already made me lose my original mood, it didn't matter if I went with him.

It is true that he came to the capital for business. Hua Chongjiu has been in poor health since he was a child. He recovered a little when he learned swordsmanship with her, but his foundation is still too poor, and this time he is even more seriously ill.

It happened that Lu Xiaofeng solved the red shoes and the embroidered thief, and he patted his chest to assure that there would be no problem if Ximen could take care of it, so he came from Jiangnan with Ajiu.

It is true that Lu Xiaofeng did this for Ajiu, but he also had selfish intentions, and Zuo Wushuang knew it better than anyone else.

Even if this person is still so annoying, she has no way to say that what he did is wrong at this moment, because in her heart, she would rather postpone that battle forever.

"Yo, you really found her." As soon as he entered the door, he heard Lu Xiaofeng's playful voice.

There was a lot of irritability in my heart, but I didn't want to vent it here, so Zuo Wushuang just gave him a cold look and then walked to another brightly lit room.

As expected, both Ximen Chuuxue and Ajiu were inside.

Hearing her footsteps, Ximen Chuuxue didn't raise his head, "Why did you come here?"

"Hua Manlou came to me and said that Ajiu was sent here, so I naturally wanted to see her." She didn't think of that before, but now when she was talking to Ximen, she suddenly remembered that she was going to Baiyun City again On the previous trip, he had seen his apprentice's stubbornness towards Ximen Chuuxue.

The little girl who is lying quietly on the bed now can't see the weird spirit when she wakes up, but the red dress really fits her personality.

"It's nothing serious, it will be fine after a while of recuperation." Ximen Chuuxue was still cold, "It's you, who seems very disappointed."

Being seen through by this person is nothing to be ashamed of, Zuo Wushuang waved his hand, "Although it seems heartless to say that, I'd rather you keep busy helping Ah Jiu take care of her body."

Ximen Chuuxue looked at her steadfastly, as if he wanted to see through her inner thoughts completely, but in the end he didn't say anything, and lowered his head again to get busy with the matter at hand.

Zuo Wushuang went out after staying for a while, outside, Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng had already found good wine and drank.

Sitting down on the last stone bench without saying a word, she picked up a whole jug of wine by the table and poured it directly into her mouth.

It's not that she hasn't tried this way of drinking before, but she seldom does it when she enjoys drinking, and she even despises such people who don't know how to drink in her heart.

"It's rare to see you like this, what's the matter? If you're worried about Ajiu, there's no need. Ximen Chuuxue is so powerful, you know better than me."

Lu Xiaofeng advised, "Drinking like this hurts your health, even if you don't care about it, others will feel sorry for you."

Hua Manlou, who has always been extremely gentle and elegant, also coughed lightly because of these words, but it's a pity that Zuo Wushuang continued to drink like this as if he didn't hear it.

They have also heard about her recently, although they don't know the inside story, they already know something about it, and now they see her like this, and they are more sure about him and Ye Gucheng in their hearts.

Compared to Lu Xiaofeng's curiosity, Hua Manlou felt nothing but helplessness.

He still remembers the scene when he saw Zuo Wushuang for the first time, the few moments of getting along with her, and the fierce spirit that she never lacks.

I used to think that I could wait until the day when this person who only had a sword in his heart realized it, but he didn't expect it would end like this in the end.

But it's no wonder anyone, if they had spoken earlier, they probably wouldn't be like today.

Huamanlou seldom regretted it, but she made an exception countless times in this matter.

Hua Chongjiu's condition was indeed not that serious, but without Ximen Chuuxue, it would never have been brought under control so quickly.

She had never been to this other courtyard of Hua's family before, but she didn't have any doubts. Anyway, the wealthy family will never lack a place to live.

If you want to recall, this is probably the first time that she and Lu Xiaofeng lived under the same roof without making a fuss.

Although this may be a good thing for the rest of the people, they are also more and more sure that Zuo Wushuang's recent abnormality is at the same time.

I might still have the mentality that it was just a rumor that ignorant people were walking casually before, but after seeing her in such a completely trance-like state of life, I was really sure.

Hua Chongjiu's illness could not be completely resolved in a day, but fortunately it was not serious, and with Ximen Chuuxue's medical skills, basically nothing went wrong.

The originally scheduled [-]th of August has passed, Zuo Wushuang silently recited the number of days until the [-]th of September in his heart, the initial anxiety could not go away at all.

"No Frost?"

Putting away the sword in her hand and turning her head, Hua Manlou was standing there for a long time, she hesitated, "You got up so early?"

"I just couldn't sleep, and I heard you practicing sword again."

She looked a little evasive, and then realized that he couldn't see her expression, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, it's just a casual practice."

"Practice casually, and then stay up all night?"

Zuo Wushuang was stunned for the first time being questioned mercilessly by him, and then sighed softly, "... I have had this kind of life before, it's really nothing."

"Wushuang." He interrupted her explanation and approached step by step.

When facing Huamanlou, she had never felt this oppressive feeling before, and subconsciously took a step back, "I'm fine."

"I didn't say I was fine." He paused, "Although I also want to tell myself not to be affected, but compared to this, your current state is really not very good."

She opened her mouth to explain something, but when she thought of his cleverness, she immediately put away her thoughts, "Do you also know?"

Hua Manlou suppressed the discomfort in his heart and nodded, "Yes, the rumors are already very obvious, aren't they?"

"I thought you shouldn't believe it." She sighed a long time, "After all, these things are groundless, who would believe it?"

"It doesn't matter whether we believe it or not, the important thing is the owner of Ximen."

Zuo Wushuang waved his hand, "No matter how Ximen sees it, it's not something I worry about, I can't take care of myself."

But he continued very seriously, "If you really think so, you are totally wrong. From Wushuang's point of view, who will win the battle between Ye Gucheng and the owner of Ximen?"

Unexpectedly, he would ask this, Zuo Wushuang hesitated, "...I don't know."

"That's it." Hua Manlou's voice seemed a little illusory in the twilight of the morning light, "Since you can't answer this question, it proves that the gap between these two people is very small at all, so it can affect them. This battle is nothing more than the right time, place and emotions."

"..." Faintly guessed what he was going to say next, Zuo Wushuang was a little scared but didn't stop him.

"There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that you and Ye Gucheng were lovers when they were in Baiyun City. If the owner of Ximen wins him, it will kill your lover. What does this mean to a person who regards you as a friend?"

"..."

"And the more restless you are, the greater the influence on the owner of Ximen, haven't you noticed?"

"...He will not be affected by such things." Zuo Wushuang shook his head trying to deny.

Hua Manlou didn't give her a chance, "Wushuang, although I don't know the owner of Ximen Village like you, I know that he once told Lu Xiaofeng that you are my friend, so burning down my house is something you want to do." You can do it right away. Just from this sentence, I know what kind of heart he has for his friends, and you..."

"...Stop talking." Zuo Wushuang interrupted him, "Stop talking!"

The Frost Frost Fourteenth State who is famous all over the rivers and lakes is notoriously cold and arrogant. He has never been so excited, Hua Manlou feels bitter in his heart, but he still has to say, "Wu Shuang, it is useless to escape. "

The roar was paralyzed on the edge of the dawn, approaching the dark details in his heart, Zuo Wushuang weakly lowered his hand holding the sword, and did not speak for a long time.

In silence, she finally admitted that what Hua Manlou said was correct, the more restless and nervous she was, the greater the impact on Ximen.

She knows how important the existence of "the person she likes" is to a woman, and Ximen Chuuxue knows it even more.

Either personally destroy the happiness of his best friend's life, or die, this choice is really...

In contrast, Ye Gucheng, who has almost no affection for him, will not have such emotional influence at all, and the gap immediately becomes obvious.

——Oh, how ridiculous.

As a result, in the end, his trance still caused this kind of consequences, Zuo Wushuang couldn't describe this feeling, his mind was full of bad thoughts of escaping from here.

Hua Manlou couldn't see her struggling expression, but could feel her emotions, "Actually, no matter how uneasy you are, it won't change anything, can you? It's better to relax and wait for the most fair result."

Zuo Wushuang shook his head, "No, you are right."

——You're right, I shouldn't have appeared in front of Ximen Chuuxue at all before that, and I shouldn't have been in a trance in front of him without any scruples when the rumors made the city full of storms.

——I was simply using the word friendship to kill him.
