The second story of the ancient sword II

The night was cold and cold, and Ah Ruan walked on the slippery mountain road with her swollen belly.My feet were so swollen that I couldn't wear shoes, and every step I took was so difficult.No, I'm going to rescue Yi Ze, how did he deal with so many bad guys by himself?Suddenly, the fog in front of him quickly dispersed, and what he could see was Yi Ze's back.She ran forward, but Yi Ze turned back immediately when she heard footsteps: "Ah Ruan... I'll be back soon, wait for me..." After saying that, he disappeared in front of her again.

Why didn't you wait for me?Why did you leave me behind... No, not just me, and our children... Finally, the figure stopped moving forward. Ah Ruan walked over quickly, but the figure fell forward heavily Down……

"...Yize...Yize..." Ah Ruan was raving, clenching his fists tightly, "...You guys, don't, don't hurt him..."

"...Huh? It's a nightmare!" Yiqing, who had opened a simple shop nearby, woke up with a start, and quickly lit the candlestick on the table.

"Miss Ruan, wake up!" Yiqing shook Ruan's body, and tested the temperature of his forehead with his hands: "It's okay, it's just an ordinary nightmare, you'll be fine when you wake up."

"...Huh?" Ah Ruan woke up with a hoarse voice.

"Have you had a nightmare?" Yiqing stroked her hair, "I'll get you some water to drink."

Ah Ruan sat up, took the tea bowl, took two sips but couldn't drink any more, tears flowed out uncontrollably.

"...don't cry...don't cry..." Yiqing didn't know how to comfort him: "Junior brother will be fine, you see I can't beat him now, let alone those ordinary people?"

"Senior Sister Yiqing, is Yize really going to be okay?" Ah Ruan held her hand tightly, "...but I'm still worried about him."

"I guarantee he's fine!" Yiqing's big grin made Ah Ruan feel at ease.

"Oh—my hand!" While chatting, Ah Ruan suddenly found that his fingers became translucent again, "Senior Sister Yiqing, did you see it?"

"This... this..." Yiqing widened his eyes and looked carefully for a while, and it was true, "Quick, sit down quickly, I will help you adjust your breath and give you some real energy!" Quickly chanting the mantra taught by Qinghe Daoist, a blue-green light condensed on his wrist, and concentrated on A Ruan's wrist to faint.After about half an hour, Ah Ruan's spiritual fluctuations were finally under control, and Yiqing was also sweating profusely from exhaustion.

"Senior Sister Yiqing, thank you." Ah Ruan's face was full of gratitude.

"No, you don't need to...thank me. I always write about my younger brother's flirtatious affairs, and I also earn a lot of money, so this should be considered as a gift!" Yiqing wiped his sweat, "If I didn't put it away just now, I would definitely It seems that the younger brother has really suffered a lot for you."

"...I really owe too much. Sister, I want to beg you...don't tell him what happened tonight."

"Ah? Me, do I gossip like that?" As soon as the words came out, Yiqing thumped his head fiercely, cursing in his heart that his EQ was really low. He was obviously in a sad state, so he quickly changed his words, " ...Oh no no no. I won't tell him."

"Ha... senior sister, you are so cute, I feel relieved when you say that." Ah Ruan was amused by Yiqing's embarrassment.

In Qingyue Pavilion, there was no one in the empty hall, the carved wooden windows were opened and closed by the wind, the pink veils fluttered in disorder, and the sachets hanging on the four corners of the curtains exuded a lonely and cold fragrance.She sat alone on the foot of the bed with her knees on her knees, and gently touched the bruise on her neck with her hands. There were no tears in her eyes, and the corner of her mouth was full of laughter or disgust.

Who does Cuiyan belong to? I have known for a long time. Queen, you just wait to get into the trap.This disgusting body of mine has been used once...what should be done and what should not be done will be finished tonight.Success or failure, I will not end well, right?Kong Shuyao, he may never know what you did for him; but so what if he knows?Heh... where should my own home be...

Kong Zhaoyi tidied up her messy clothes, walked barefoot on the smooth floor, opened the window, looked at the dark sky outside, and felt miserable in her heart.After all, I can't escape the sky in all directions... I lost my mother at the age of ten, and my stepmother regarded me like a stick in my throat... I have a beautiful face, and my life is like a yellow lotus... I don't think anyone cares about this broken body. Cuiyan knows what happened to me and Li Xian Unbearable... Do I have to wait for others to spurn me?

"After all, a good flower blooms alone, no one cares about it, and no one picks it. I am afraid that the wind and rain will destroy it. The red sun of the Ming Dynasty will accompany the flowers and fall...Three thousand prosperity is over, and dust will return to dust, and dust will return to dust...Father , my daughter is leaving first..." Kong Zhaoyi murmured.

A strip of white silk straddled the beam of the house, and it fell slowly. She kicked off the step stool... The breath in her nose became weaker and weaker. She didn't want to struggle, and she didn't want to make her death look too ugly, so she deliberately endured it.The white silk under her throat became tighter and tighter, and her consciousness gradually became blurred. It seemed that her mother's smile and the face of the person she loved most seemed to flash before her eyes...

"Whoosh—" A small knife pierced through the white silk hanging from the beam of the room. Kong Zhaoyi only felt the world spinning for a moment. Before he could react, his body fell on a soft chest.

"Your Highness expected it well. Your Majesty will indeed commit suicide. Your servant, Hanmei, was sent by His Highness to protect you." A woman's voice came from behind, and she followed Kong Zhaoyi's back carefully, "Why can't you think about it? The thorn beside you , the maidservant has already removed her, the empress can rest assured. This is a letter from His Highness to the empress."

"A promise to you, wait for the return date; if you pass away, be careful to save your life..." Kong Zhaoyi didn't know whether to cry or laugh when the two short sentences came into view, "...Yeah, I haven't seen it yet." As a result, it is not too late to wait until tomorrow..."

It was the second watch, and the candles of Ci'en Temple were still brightly lit, and the figures of two old men were reflected on the plain white window paper.Li Xian was very close to the assassin, his hands were covered with cold sweat, and he recalled the scenes of poisoning the third child in the past.That time he was seriously injured by Yi Ze, and almost lost all his vigor.If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for being too simple-minded, becoming the sword in the queen's hand, and serving the wine mixed with the fire-attribute magic talisman to Yi Ze... Whether he can succeed this time, he is not sure in his heart, he just told himself, I'm going all out! (PS: The seal made by Qinghe Zhenren to Yize is metal, fire overcomes gold.)

Outside the courtyard of Ci'en Temple is also a group of assassins, they are the people of the second prince Li Kang.Li Kang carefully observed the situation inside, and Li Xian was already within his field of vision.

This idiot, who had been tricked by my mother earlier, dared to come here to make my father make a will by such means, really ridiculous!Li Kang thought, he must not know that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.But if I'm as stupid as him, how can someone as shrewd as the father not see through?Third child, I will never give up the opportunity to you, I will let you do something unexpected—help!

"Kangdang——" There was a sharp sound, and the black and white jade pieces on the chessboard were scattered, and a short knife was inserted straight into the center of the chessboard!

"Who?!" Emperor Sheng Yuan was shocked, turned around in a hurry, only to see a group of dark assassins approaching, quickly surrounding him and the host.The leader picked up a long sword, and the cold blade rested between his necks.He didn't look flustered, after several life and death, how could such a small battle be ignored?

"Father, I have offended you!" The voice of the man in black next to him was all too familiar.

"It's you?!" Although Emperor Shengyuan had expected this day, he never expected that it would be the cowardly eldest prince Li Xian.

"Father please issue a will, Xian'er will definitely manage the Li family well!"

"Idiot!" Emperor Sheng Yuan didn't look sideways, "How could I follow your wishes so easily?!"

As soon as the words were finished, another man in a black suit flashed past, and quickly grabbed the sharp sword in Li Xian's hand with his bare hands.Regardless of the sharpness of the blade, he let the blood flow down the blade, and said sharply to Li Xian: "I don't care about my brother's affection for my brother, I don't care about my parents' filial piety for my son, you are really cruel, big brother! Royal father, Kang'er came too late to save you, Surprised you..."

Before Li Kang finished speaking, there was the sound of fast and neat running outside the door, the sound of iron armor rubbing, and a group of guards in military uniform surrounded the hut in Ci'en Temple.Seeing the heavy soldiers at the door, Li Kang immediately understood in his heart that this old guy is always on guard!If I were as stupid as the boss, I would really die a miserable death today!

"Li Kang, you - despicable!" Li Xian took off the black cloth covering his face, "You and I still have the same purpose!"

"How is it?" Li Kang smiled shamelessly, carefully wiping the blood on his hands, "I came here to save my father, how can I agree with you?"

"Aren't you just pretending to change your appearance and coveting the country!" After Li Xian said this, he also felt that it was worthless, and he regretted his carelessness in his heart.

"Brother, what a joke, if I don't change my appearance, how can I secretly protect my father?" Seeing that Li Xian was wronged, Li Kang became even more proud.

A chill hit, and the sound of sharp footsteps came from behind. Everyone looked back at Yi Ze holding a long sword.

"So..." Yi Ze looked at the scene in front of him, and immediately understood the surrounding situation in his heart, so he stopped talking.His gaze stayed on Emperor Shengyuan's face for a while, then he quickly moved away, "...Let's go!"

"...Yize, wait a minute!" Emperor Shengyuan silently read his name.Seeing this, the second child on the side was filled with complacency and jealousy soon.

In the dark secret room, the old man in a cloak listened carefully to the news from the doorman.

"...It seems that I still miscalculated. I didn't expect that the second child was really smart this time. The road ahead is long, and we still need to deal with it..."
