Death Princess

"Should already be as juicy as you, right? I'm only two years older than you, so you have to call me sister...give her the best clothes, cook the best food, and stay by her side every day... When she grows up and grows up, I will find a good family for her, a good family who truly loves her and cares about her; or in other words, which handsome man she falls in love with, I will definitely take good care of her. , give that little bastard a heads-up..."

The illusion dissipated, and the shattered silver light gathered on Zhaolu's hand, forming a silver bead the size of a fingertip.

"This is...?" Zhao Lu pinched the Huanzhu with two fingers, her expression a little weird.

"Yi'er specially used illusion to record it, and asked me to bring it to you," the bird standing on the windowsill said, and the voice was Qin Hui, "She said that she was thinking about it, and you might use it in the future."

Will use it later.

If my daughter is here, I will treat her well.

She is still alive, but has never eaten a good meal.She's been wounded, a lot of bad ones, she's wounded people, she's even killed a lot of people because she's been forced to be an assassin.

Everything is due to the difference in your thoughts as parents.

click.The beads were crushed into dozens of pieces in Chao Lu's hands.The fragments turned into silver-white light again, flowing out from the morning dew, passing through the window, flying across the snowy night, all the way into the distant yard, slipped into a room in the yard, and got into a pair of knives placed on the side of the cave. On the hilt of the saber, it merged with the spirit feather hidden in the hilt.

"Little Lulu, your Lingyu, you... no, yes, right...?" Bird stomped his feet several times speechlessly, knocking loudly on the window sill, "Give it to her? Just give it to the cold Hitomi? Yier and I just saw that you treated her differently, so we just talked about it casually, which is good, you are serious, you..." I don't know if it is more annoyance, or more gossip Some.

"I didn't give it to her." For some reason, Zhao Lu's voice suddenly became a little cold and lonely, "I just put it in the double knives she carried with her, and didn't cut off her connection with me. Next I don't know what will happen to me, but with Ling Yu by my side, her life can be more or less saved."

"Bao, save her life?" Bird almost choked, "so that she can stab you a few more times? Cough cough, Luer," Qin Hui became serious, "It's not brother, I said you, what do you think? Where is she? There are countless handsome men and women in Jianzong and Xueminggu, even if you are by your side now, there is definitely more than one who treats you differently. You should keep your eyes open to see why you fell in love with that one time and time again Hurt you and hurt your cold eyes? Are you born to be poked?"

"Perhaps." Unexpectedly, Zhao Lu looked at the sky and replied like this.

"what?"

"That day, after I gave her the knife, she didn't speak for a long time." Zhao Lu forced out a complicated smile, "Just when I thought she would stop talking, she said, 'Chao Lu, I'm not A good man, a bloody executioner, giving the executioner a knife is equivalent to killing many innocent people.'”

Without seeing it with his own eyes, Qin Hui could imagine his younger sister's expression at that time, uncomfortable but still smiling.

"That night, she talked a lot. She told everything she had encountered since she entered the dark pavilion. She said that she had killed demons who took countless lives, but she also killed unarmed mothers. , in front of a child, cut the mother's neck with a knife, and let the blood splash all over the child. She didn't kill the child because she wanted the child to remember this hatred. "

"She said that she killed many, many people, so she has many, many enemies who are staring at her life. She knows that the enemy will come to her sooner or later, but she is not willing to atone for her sins with nothing, so even if she washes her hands , her life will only make the blood debt more and more exhausting. She said that she thought about it for a long time, and felt that she could not change from a knife to a swordsman with a heart."

"Luer..." Qin Hui didn't know what to say.

"Do you still remember how I deduced that she was killing her?"

"……Um."

"Three Jue kills, never eradicate the root. It's like she let us go eight years ago. I don't appreciate it, and I can't be grateful, but I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. She didn't eradicate the root and let us go. What is the purpose of keeping that child and accumulating one enemy after another for myself. But now," paused, "I may vaguely understand that she doesn't want to be caught without a fight, but she can't escape from the guilt." Looking at the bird Er, "Do you still remember how Xiao Jingyu got to Jianzong?"

"I heard that when you and Leng Tong went out that day, you rescued them on the road."

Zhao Lu nodded, then shook her head again, "To be precise, it was Leng Tong who rescued her. Taking Yao Jingyu as her apprentice, although she had a hundred reluctances in her mouth, she gave her all in her actions. She She never gave Jing Yu a good look on her face, but Jing Yu was plagued by nightmares every night, and it was she who secretly went to cover Jing Yu with the quilt, stroked Jing Yu's forehead, and helped Jing Yu return to sleep."

"When Jing Yu first started practicing martial arts, her body was injured a lot, and her hands shaking with chopsticks when eating, but Leng Tong seemed to ignore it. Once, Yi'er couldn't stand it anymore and asked Shuangxue for medicine. I secretly took it to Jing Yu’s room at night, only to find that Jing Yu’s injury had been treated long ago. I asked Jing Yu who treated the injury, and Jing Yu said that she didn’t know, but she always dreamed that someone would take care of her. She healed her wounds and used her internal energy to help her loosen her muscles and bones, and when she woke up, her body really didn't hurt so much."

"Also, that day, Leng Tong was coerced by the dark pavilion, and after she drugged me into a drink to knock me out, her first reaction was not to leave quickly, but to carry me upstairs into the room and put me on the couch After tucking in the quilt and settling down, Yao Jingyu left. Later, when the inn caught fire, she turned back and rummaged through the charred corpses all over the floor for several hours."

As she was talking, Zhao Lu smiled again, this time, there was some nostalgia in her smile, and some self-deprecating, "Shortly after, she moved into Jianzong, and I just randomly found a place to grow grass and spread spiders all year round. Wang’s abandoned yard settled her, and specially instructed everyone to send the ingredients and necessary things, don’t do too much, all just to make my “deal” statement more credible. But you can You know, when I go to that yard again in a few months, what will it look like there?"

"It's not an exaggeration. The yard looks much cleaner than the place where I live. Not only is it clean, I just bought a set of bedding and tableware. But a few months later, the house The big and small supplies are all matched, and the same is not bad, and there are even some accessories that I don’t know. None of the things are bought in the market, and they are all made by herself. I use the pair I gave With a knife, I cut down a few trees around me, and I almost built another yard by myself.”

"Among the things she made, I can't forget the ornaments. How should I put it, the whole house hides the exquisiteness and gentleness of Zhong Daughter's family in the thick woody fragrance. I thought at that time , Ruruo, if ten years ago she was not forced to sell herself in the secret court, and if she was not forced to live in the Jianghu 20 years ago, what kind of girl is Leng Tong, He Tong, now? She still has to bear those fates You pretend to be strong, but you still abandon all smiles and build high walls around yourself?"

"I still remember the time when Lengtong and Wumian faced each other in the martial arts conference. At that time, it was actually my mistake. I didn't expect that Wumian would be so blatant in the ring, but I didn't take that mistake as a It’s because, I feel that Leng Tong, as an assassin who is scrambling on the tip of a knife, will play by ear when the situation is not right. I know that if both parties are determined to kill, she is not inferior to Fog."

"But I forgot that I told her before to let her listen to my voice transmission. I didn't expect that she was really suppressed all the way until her head was hung on the tip of a knife, and she didn't have a plan to die. move. She didn't do it because she was afraid that my plan would be ruined if I made a death move. I would use that non-existent poison to deal with her. It will kill her in the end."

"Xiao Huihui, do you know? At that time, just as the knife Wu Mian held above her head was about to fall, her first reaction was..." Zhao Lu pinched her eyebrows, "She actually looked at Me who was far away in the stands. I...I still can't forget her expression at that time, expecting, questioning, disappointed, and self-deprecating, but there is no resentment alone."

"An assassin who can save people, take care of children, make trinkets, and look forward to people who are not worth looking forward to. She shut herself in a high wall, and sealed the high wall with the blood debt left by her own hands to show her vigilance , She kept saying that she was just taking orders from others, but she never really put aside her sins. She killed people, she claimed her life, but she never forgot that initial tenderness."

"What kind of a person, how kind, how determined, can grow up in that dark cabinet that eats people without spit out bones, and in this world full of malice, firmly protect such a hidden treasure in the depths?" , a simple and gentle heart?"

"I don't think it's worth it, I don't want to just watch such a delicate person being ruined by the sins imposed on him, just like I don't want to see that brand-new yard become a weed spider again It’s like a dense net. I want to help her let go of the blood debt and the burden. I want her to live the life that belongs to her. I want to see her smile and see her cry. It's not like now, holding back and struggling in the seemingly endless bloody darkness."

"Xiao Huihui," Zhao Lu took a deep breath and looked at her brother seriously, "Brother, I want to be a lamp. Even if her lamp can't do much, at least it can illuminate the area in front of her eyes." It’s bright. Tell her that there is not only shadow and darkness in this world, the reason why shadows can exist, and the reason why darkness is called darkness is because there is a corresponding light.”

"If you ask me what I like about her," Zhao Lu stood up suddenly, walked to the door in three or two steps, snapped off the ice edge hanging on the eaves, and held it under the setting sun, letting the setting sun The light illuminates it, "Maybe I just fell in love with this fragile but gentle light hidden deep in this cold and hurtful ice edge. Even if it is dark, I want to stay in the world."

Paused, sighed, and said, "It's not a bad thing for her to explain her words like this. It's the same as risking the world's shame, but the relationship between me and her, after all, between my father and mother Fate is incomparable. What is between us is not only gender? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Left and right, I don't want to get it, I just want to be able to guard it quietly... not to lose it." My eyes stayed on the edge of the ice for a long time.

Under the setting sun, inside the ice edge, there was a small orange-yellow light, trembling and hiding in the eyes of each person and bird, just like the unnoticed figure hiding in the corner.

It was night, some people confide their hearts quietly, some people sighed quietly, some people wept quietly.
