twilight endless

Rui'er looked around and saw no Zhou Fan figure, she broke out in a cold sweat suddenly, she quickly regained her composure and thought for a while, then started light work, and ran into a deserted alley in a few steps.Fenggong unsheathed, the sword spirit chanted softly, an invisible net overflowed from Ruier's body, riding on the warm wind of early summer, it melted into the night of the capital.

Three or two cats ran through the dark alley, leaving only the moonlight reflected in the cat's eyes.Another owl landed leisurely with its wings flapping, and landed on a jujube tree in the yard of a family.

Rui'er put the sword back into the sheath, although he was a little surprised, but still headed west resolutely.

On the long West Street, there is still a lively night market, and the cheerful drumbeat still fills my ears. Going further west, after passing the Huaiping Mansion, gradually there are fewer people.When you walk out of the bright lights in front of the Huaiping Mansion, and you can no longer hear the hustle and bustle of the West Street Night Market, you will enter another forgotten world.

Rui'er looked at the closed vermilion lacquered gate of Prince Yi's Mansion, and stretched out her hand involuntarily, as if she had just returned from northern Xinjiang with the exhausted Zhou Ji, and couldn't wait to go home.

Family?

Rui'er stopped the hand that was about to reach the door, turned around and left the gate, turned into the back alley with ease, and jumped over the high wall of Prince Yi's Mansion.In the dilapidated mansion, there is no trace of the prosperity of the past, and everything is depression.Time has passed, and everything has been lost in the long years. The tender prince who carefully portrayed his sweetheart in the study, and the young general who scolded Fang Qiu by the bank of Fengchuan, all turned into a forgotten bone in the imperial mausoleum.In such a place, what else can be left behind, what else can be used to make a fuss?Why must he be brought here?

Rui'er walked in the familiar corridor without any hesitation, and stopped at the Library Pavilion with a calm heart. The silver bell still hanging under the eaves of the corridor has lost all its luster under the baptism of wind and rain for many years, but it can still be seen. When the wind passes by, there is a crisp shallow singing.

"As expected of a whisper." A man in black fell behind Rui'er at some point, "I found it so quickly."

Rui'er seemed to have been aware of this person's existence for a long time, and was not surprised by the sudden appearance of this person. She pushed open the crumbling door of Zangshu Pavilion as if she hadn't heard it, and walked in.

"There are so many aliens from Moxi, all with red hair and green eyes like you." The man in black chased after Rui'er and said, "Aren't you curious about your origin with them?"

"The people in this imperial capital are all black-haired and black-eyed. Could it be that they all have their own origins?" Rui'er was unmoved, "Besides, I'm a half-demon, and I don't know where I came from."

"I can tell you." The man said with certainty, "You are from Moxi."

"I grew up in Qianluozhuang." Rui'er was even more sure, "I have never been to Moxi."

"Your home is in Sandcastle County, Moxi." The man stopped Rui'er, "Your family is all there."

"I have no family." Rui'er walked around the man, "I only have a master."

The man looked at Ruier's back in disbelief, and said angrily, "Have you forgotten who ruined your family?"

"I'll say it again." Rui'er didn't stop, "I don't have a family."

"You have!" The man caught up with Rui'er and said hastily, "Your father is a lieutenant of the garrison of Yanzhou in Moxi, and he was implicated because he was in the same village as Chang Sui, a half-demon of King Xianzhang, and asked to behead and ransack his home. There are a total of seventeen people in your family, the males were killed, the female relatives were used as prostitutes, and you were traded and tortured several times by human teeth, don’t you remember all of this?”

"I don't remember." Rui'er looked calm, "From the day I became a half-demon, all previous memories are gone. I only remember the days from Qianluozhuang."

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't remember." The man still blocked Ruier, "You just need to know that your family members were all killed by Emperor Zhou's tyranny."

"So what if I know?" Rui'er suddenly stopped, and looked at the man with cold eyes, even his tone was unspeakably cold, "Am I going to avenge them?"

"It's not just them." There was a hint of hatred in the man's voice, "There were more than a thousand foreigners in Shabao County back then, and they were all exterminated by Emperor Zhou with all kinds of groundless reasons. Only a few children survived. , wandering in this world, suffering all kinds of hardships. Shouldn't we settle all this with Emperor Zhou?"

"So?" Rui'er clenched his sword involuntarily, "What do you want to do?"

"We want to ask Emperor Zhou for an explanation." The man's eyes were full of murderous intent, "I want Emperor Zhou to experience the pain of losing a loved one."

"Crazy! It's unreasonable." Rui'er cursed, and suddenly rushed up to the library loft.The man seemed to have expected Rui'er's move, and he rushed forward, unsheathed his sword and took Rui'er in the face, Rui'er sacrificed Feng Gong to hold the knife, and said angrily, "What are you doing? If you don't join, you will be punished." Shut up?"

"All aliens should form a rope." The man pressed the knife and Rui'er were in a stalemate, "The tip of our knife must be aimed at our enemy."

"Don't tell me these things, I'm a half-demon, and I will protect my master to the death."

"Master?" The man sneered, "How many masters have you changed?"

"It doesn't matter if you change a few." Rui'er suddenly changed his move, Fenggong retreated suddenly, and then came out strangely, emerging from the slanting stab, and cut a bloody hole on the inside of the man's arm. Taking a step back, Ruier took the opportunity to jump over and ran up to the second floor, "Master!"

To Rui'er's surprise, Zhou Fan sat on the side of the bookcase unharmed. After seeing Rui'er, he did not show joy, but was more frightened.

"Don't be afraid, my lord." Rui'er stepped forward to check Zhou Fan, and asked nervously, "Are you injured?"

Zhou Fan shook his head and said softly, "I just have no strength."

"No strength?" Rui'er became more nervous when she heard that, and reached out to help Zhou Fan, but Zhou Fan dodged it.Rui'er asked in confusion, "What's wrong, young master?"

"He was frightened by you." The man slowly walked up with his injured arm, "An alien who wants to fight back with fire can take his life at any time."

Before the man finished speaking, Rui'er saw a more frightened look in Zhou Fan's eyes.Rui'er's heart sank suddenly, but she still bowed to Zhou Fan on the face, and said solemnly: "My lord, don't believe the lies of thieves. Rui'er is ordered by King Shen to protect you. With the blood contract and the spirit in his body, he will not harm you. Son."

I don't know whether it was his father's order or the spirit of the blood deed that made Zhou Fan more at ease, but after hearing Rui'er's words, the panic in Zhou Fan's eyes receded, and he stretched out his hand to Rui'er with difficulty.Seeing this, Rui'er hurriedly helped Zhou Fan up, but Zhou Fan was so soft that he couldn't stand up, and his whole body was paralyzed in Rui'er's arms.Rui'er had no choice but to hug Zhou Fan, and angrily said to the man, "What did you do to the young master?"

"Just give him some medicine." Seeing Rui'er's staring eyes, the man immediately said, "Don't worry, it's not poison, it just makes him unable to escape, and the medicine will wear off after a few hours. Xiao Che !" Seeing that Rui'er was holding Zhou Fan and was about to jump out of the window, the man hurriedly called Rui'er by his old name, "You keep saying that you are a half-demon who always follows you, only the master has no family, but you have changed several masters. Where can I call home? Is it Qianluozhuang? Or Shenwang Mansion, or this Yiwang Mansion that is about to be submerged in weeds and dust? No matter who you follow now, but you are a foreigner. Remember, you have relatives, brothers and sisters, and Moxi is your home." The man moved away from the stairs, "We welcome you back anytime."

"No need, you should wait to welcome the government to arrest you." Rui'er didn't take the stairs, but jumped out of the window with Zhou Fan in his arms, and disappeared into the night after a few ups and downs.

"Ruier." Zhou Fan huddled in Ruier's arms, feeling the regular ups and downs of Ruier's footsteps, and asked, "Who is that person?"

"A lunatic." Ruier's feet did not slow down while speaking, "Young master, don't worry about it."

"He doesn't seem to be alone."

"That's a bunch of lunatics."

"He..." Zhou Fan hesitated, but still asked, "Did he look for you before?"

"No." Rui'er's answer was very straightforward, but Zhou Fan noticed a little disharmony in Rui'er's regular ups and downs.

"What are they trying to do?" Zhou Fan quietly wrote down the slight disharmony, didn't delve into it, and changed to other questions.

"I don't know, it's not a good thing anyway."

"I guess they want to kill me, and they want to kill all the members of the royal family." Zhou Fan clenched his hands into fists involuntarily, "They want the emperor's grandfather to experience the pain of losing a loved one."

"Whimsical!" Rui'er snorted coldly with disdain, "Do they think that the half-demon Chang Sui of the royal family is just a decoration?"

"What if the half-demon often follows us and doesn't make a move?"

"My lord." Rui'er's tone could not hear any joy or anger, "The blood deed is alive, and the master's orders cannot be disobeyed by the half-demon."

"Oh, all right."

Zhou Fan didn't say anything more, but silently recalled the conversation he heard after being imprisoned in the library.

"You want the half-demon from Prince Lashen's mansion to join in? What do you think?"

"He accompanied Wang Ban in and out of the palace all the year round, and knew all the relatives of the emperor. Besides, he is a half-demon, and his martial arts skills are far superior to ordinary people. If such a person can help us, wouldn't our chances of winning be increased?"

"You have a good idea, but it's useless."

"Why?"

"He is a half-demon who always follows, and he has the spirit of blood deeds on his body. No matter how much you lobby, he can't follow us to rebel against the royal family of Zhou You. Even if you can persuade him, when it comes time to fight for your life, as long as the master gives an order, His sword will stab you and me without any hesitation."

"I know, but the blood contract speech spirit is almost gone."

"What do you mean?"

"The Chosen One has appeared, and he is the one who can surpass the imperial power and rule all the half-demons. When the blood contract is broken, all the half-demons will no longer be controlled by the words."

"In that case..."

"Wait."

"what happened?"

"he came."

"So fast?"

"You avoid it first."

"Ah."

"As expected of a hundred things whispering, I found it so quickly."
