twilight endless

Chapter 41. 41. Self-denial

Even though Zhou Yu worked very hard to make waves, he still couldn't relieve the boredom of the court ceremony.After finally waiting for the palace banquet to end, as soon as Zhou Ji walked out of the Four Elephant Hall, he saw Huai Pinggong walking towards him.

"It's so annoying!" Zhou Ji turned his head and left with a disgusted sound.

Twilight didn't know, so he hurriedly followed, and asked strangely, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"Let's go! I don't want to talk to Mr. Huai Ping." Zhou Ji said, but the pace of his feet became faster and faster, and he walked out of the palace through the west corridor while talking.After going outside the palace, he took the mount from the guards, Zhou Yu threw a sentence "don't follow" to the servants, and then rode the horse and ran away along the official road.

Twilight hurriedly followed her horse, looked at Zhou Ji's clothes that were blown up by the night wind, and asked worriedly: "Winter night is cold, where are you going, Your Highness?"

"Go to Prince Yi's Mansion."

"Yi Wang's Mansion?" Twilight was very surprised, thinking that Zhou Yu had made a mistake, but just as he was about to confirm again, he saw Zhou Ji turned his horse's head and turned towards the West Street, as expected, he was heading towards a deserted compound.

Zhou Ji did not go through the main entrance, but went around to the back alley, tied the horse to the door knocker, pointed to the courtyard wall and asked Mu Shi: "Can I go up?"

Twilight nodded, and stretched out her hand to build a ladder for Zhou Ji.Zhou Yu didn't try to be brave, and received Mu Hui's thoughtfulness, stepped on his hand and flew up the wall with his strength. As soon as he stood firm, Mu Shi followed closely behind and flew up.Before Zhou Yu could utter an exclamation, he was pulled into his arms by Twilight and brought him off the wall.

"That..." Zhou Ji coughed slightly in embarrassment, and praised, "The lightness kung fu is not bad."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment." Twilight bowed to thank him, then raised his head and looked around, seeing only desolation and desolation, which looked extraordinarily frightening under the moonlight of a winter night, Twilight subconsciously clenched the saber at his waist.

"Don't be nervous, come with me." Zhou Yu didn't care much, as if returning to his own home, he walked through the messy back garden, walked through the dilapidated corridor, and finally pushed the door into the study.

To Twilight's surprise, the study was very tidy.The four treasures of the study are still on the case, the ancient books and periodicals are displayed on the shelf, and even the collapsed brocade mat is there, but it is covered with a thin layer of dust.

Zhou Yu stopped in front of the desk and stood there for a long time. Fang Changchang let out a long breath, looked at Kong Kong behind the desk and said softly, "Brother, Ji'er is here."

Just one sentence opened the scar hidden in Zhou Yu's heart, and the blood was dripping exposed in the bottomless darkness of the imperial prison.

"Brother." There were invisible blood and tears in Zhou Yu's voice, "It's useless. Although I know who the person who framed my brother was, I can't avenge my brother, let alone avenge my brother. It's really shameless." Brother." Zhou Yu drew out his saber, and a deep roar echoed around the beams in the study as the cold light of the blade overflowed.Zhou Ji looked at the word "Keji" engraved on it and said in a low voice, "Eldest brother left 'Keji' for Ji'er, and Ji'er knows that this is the last instruction from elder brother to Ji'er, let Ji'er remember it, The queen mother is still there, the fate is still there, and the elder brother's concern in this world is still there. But elder brother, you forgot to tell Ji'er what to do." Zhou Ji's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, "Since childhood It's really difficult for Ji'er to watch his elder brother follow suit, but now let Ji'er figure out a way for himself, Ji'er really doesn't know if he can do it."

Zhou Yu stood in the dark study room, complaining to his non-existent elder brother, the Dongyue outside the window leaked a little soft light through the window lattice, gently hugging Zhou Ji, but couldn't drive away Zhou Ji's helplessness and loneliness.

Twilight looked at Zhou Ji's solitary back, but there was an inexplicable pain in his heart, as if he saw Zhou Ji hiding in a cold corner alone in a high wall and weeping softly.

"Qiuyang." Twilight stretched out her hand involuntarily, hugged Zhou Ji from behind, and said softly, "Don't be afraid."

The golden boy from the Forest of Divine Seeing descended from the sky, instantly dispelling the boundless darkness in the study room, the twilight was dyed with floating clouds all over the sky, wrapping everything around him in the dark golden warmth, Zhou Ji's heartbeat beat wildly, the long-hidden Emotion wells up from the deepest part.

"Twilight." Zhou Ji let go of his heart and said softly, "I like you."

"En." Mu Hui put her head on the back of Zhou Ji's neck, and answered vaguely.

"I said, I like you." Zhou Ji said it again.

"Yes." Twilight replied again, "I know."

Unable to get a response, Zhou Kai's heartbeat fluctuated a few more times, but this time he was flustered, he hurriedly turned around, looked at Twilight and asked, "You really know?"

"I know."

"Know what?" Zhou Ji asked.

"I know His Highness likes me."

"Then..." Zhou Yu has never been so anxious, "Do you like me?"

"I like it." Twilight showed a silly smile at Zhou Ji.

Looking at the smiling face, Zhou Yu became more and more flustered, and asked for further confirmation: "Then do you like Ruier?"

"I like it too." Twilight replied without the slightest hesitation.

Zhou Yu's heart was half cold, and he asked again unwillingly: "Where's Bai Yuheng?"

"I like it very much." Twilight didn't know why Zhou Ji asked this question, but when he mentioned Bai Yuheng, Twilight's eyes were full of tenderness, and he even said sadly, "Boss Bai is very kind to me. I haven't seen him for a long time. Miss him very much."

"Really?" Zhou Yu's heart was completely cold, so he could only say, "Then I will take you to the World Spirit Hall to meet him some other time, okay?"

"Really?" Twilight was elated, and happily bowed to Zhou Ji to the end, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"You're welcome." Looking at Twilight's silly face and the most beautiful Danfeng eyes that no one in the world can match, Zhou Yu smiled wryly in his heart and comforted himself, "Forget it, don't be in a hurry with the little fool, take your time."

But no matter what, Twilight's unintentional comfort dispelled the wavering and uneasiness in Zhou Kai's heart, and he turned back into that unscrupulous big devil again.He put the sword back into its sheath and said to Twilight: "Let's go back."

"Yes." Twilight agreed and stepped forward to open the door, but unexpectedly bumped into a whistling Wanyeluo.As if instinctively, Twilight pulled out her two knives, and slashed them to the extreme in a flash of light and flint, only then was she able to defend against the sudden attack, but she still missed a piece, and the blade-like dead leaves brushed against Twilight's face , leaving a bloodstain on the jaw.

Zhou Yu's reaction was not as good as Twilight's. When he came back to his senses, he saw that Twilight was injured, and his anger suddenly burned out of his reason, and he rushed forward with his sword.

"Your Highness!" In the previous move exchange, Twilight already knew who was coming, but he didn't expect Zhou Ga's figure to be so fast, Zhou Ga had already passed several moves with the comer before he finished speaking.

This is the first time that Twilight has seen the grown-up Zhou Ji show off his martial arts since Farewell to the Forest of God, he is completely different from the childhood Qiuyang.Sen Han's sword intent overflowed from "Self-restraint", and the roar of the sword spirit filled his mind, vowing to tear the enemy to pieces.On the other side, Rui'er, because the opponent is the prince, did not dare to be ruthless, and coupled with the restraint of Yan Ling, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.Rui'er wanted to give up the fight, but Zhou Ji insisted on it.After a few moves, Rui'er's heart was on fire, and after a change of move, he was going to restrain Zhou Ga first and then apologize, and the sword move he used was added with spiritual power.Twilight at the side was shocked, afraid that Zhou Ji would suffer, so he rushed in with a knife.Rui'er took advantage of the situation to turn around and escape from the battle circle, Zhou Ji was even more afraid of hurting Twilight, so he abruptly stopped the moves in his hands, stood at the moment, and stared at Rui'er.

Rui'er put the sword back into its sheath, knelt down on the ground: "Rui'er doesn't know it's King Xun, he didn't intend to collide, and I hope King Xun will forgive him."

"Isn't Chang Sui's eyes bad in Prince Shen's Mansion?" Zhou Yan suppressed his anger, and said in a strange way, "Why do people come out and run around at night if they can't see clearly?"

If the big devil finds fault, it's best not to talk back.Rui'er knew this truth very well, so he didn't answer, but just lowered his body even lower.

"Say!" Zhou Ji pointed his sword at Rui'er, "Why are you sneaking up here?"

"Today is the death day of King Yi." Rui'er has a clear conscience, "Rui'er is here to remember King Yi."

Because the death day of King Yi coincided with the birthday of Emperor Wuxing, no one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty would mention this festival, even Emperor Wuxing did not remember it. I didn’t expect that a half-monster could be so intentional. Withdrawing his saber, he said to Rui'er, "It's hard for you to remember, get up."

"Thank you, King Xun." Rui'er stood up, looking fearlessly into Zhou Ji's gaze, and asked, "Why did King Xun come here so late at night?"

Unexpectedly being questioned by the half-demon, Zhou Ji's heart was aroused, he raised his eyes and stared back, he didn't realize that he didn't see the expected panic, but only saw the ardor in the sharp green eyes, his heart softened a little involuntarily After a few minutes, even the tone became gentle: "This king is also here to remember King Yi."

Rui'er heard it, looked at Zhou Kai, suddenly knelt down without saying a word, and bowed solemnly to Zhou Kai.

"You don't have to be like this." Zhou Ji understood Rui'er's meaning, "He is the eldest brother of this king, and this king should do anything for him."

"What does King Xun want to do for King Yi?" Rui'er asked, looking at Zhou Yu, who seemed to have a thousand words.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu was a little surprised, thought for a while and asked tentatively: "What do you want to do for King Yi?"

"Rui'er thinks..." Rui'er's words were choked in her throat, she just looked at Zhou Yu in vain, and said in a vague way, "What I can do now is to guard the only concern left by King Yi in this world."

"You still have a heart." Zhou Yu didn't answer, pointing to the sword on Rui'er's waist, and said calmly, "Since you have inherited the elder brother's 'Feng Gong', you should do your duty and do your part well." matter." After speaking, he ignored Rui'er and left the mansion the same way.

"Your Highness." Twilight followed Zhou Yu on a horse, and expressed his guess, "Rui'er's appearance seems to be restricted by Yan Ling."

"I guessed it." Zhou Ji was not surprised at all.

"Then why doesn't His Highness try to test it sideways?" Twilight was very puzzled, "Although the shackles of the speech spirit cannot be broken, it can be deduced if you try it from the side."

"No need." Zhou Yu had his own worries, "He is the half-demon follower of King Shen after all, so it's better to be careful."

"Oh." Twilight understood, nodded, and said, "But Rui'er is not an ungrateful person, the only master he recognizes in his heart is King Yi."

"Why do you like to speak for him so much?" Zhou Ji began to feel upset again, remembering the fight with Rui'er just now, and said contemptuously, "You said his martial arts are outstanding, but I can't see it that way."

"He can't really fight with His Highness." Twilight said truthfully, "What's more, his saber and His Highness's saber are originally Yin-Yang swords, and the Yang sword 'Keji' has a natural suppression effect on the Yin sword 'Feng Gong'."

"Then what do you mean..." Zhou Yu's unhappiness amplified, "This king can't actually beat him?"

"Yeah." Twilight's advantage is to seek truth from facts, one thing to say, "In terms of martial arts alone, Rui'er is indeed slightly better."

Zhou Yu was silent again, and the feeling of being tapped on Ren Du's acupoint reappeared, but this time Zhou Ji learned to persuade himself: "How can you be so stupid? I'm really mad at you." Zhou Ji was in his heart Nei calmed down his anger, put on a smile on his face, and said softly, "Since this king's skills are not as good as others, then when facing the enemy in the future, I will always follow Mu Mu to protect me."

"Where is the duty, Twilight will not disgrace the king's order." Twilight answered very smoothly.

But Zhou Yu slandered in his heart: "This sentence must have been taught by Bai Yuheng!"

The author has something to say:
