Chapter 42: Living Up to the Promise (6)
The two walked towards Li's house together, Li Fengxun looked at the blue sky, and suddenly thought of the purpose of Shangguan Xianhao's trip.
asked, "Shangguan Gongzi, do you really want to control the martial arts?" “
"It's not control, I think the major forces in the martial arts are not balanced now, and the impact on the country is too great, so I want to adjust it, if the major forces in the martial arts can help the royal family defend the country together, I think the country should be stronger......"
Shangguan Xianhao paused, "Others, I'll tell you about it inside." ”
Ling Xiao didn't speak all the way, he led the way in front, Long Zhanyan walked behind and followed closely, his attitude was almost the same as that of a stranger.
Compared with friendship, in just a few days with Long Zhanyan, he obviously has a deeper relationship with Liu Ruyu.
Ling Xiao really didn't know what Long Zhanyan thought, he wasn't there at the scene in the Peerless Sacred Valley at that time, but he really felt Liu Ruyu's lifeless changes.
Anyway, he is not a kind-hearted and chivalrous hero.
On the contrary, anyone who knows him Ling Xiao should know that he is a notoriously swinger, who rarely cares about the feelings of others, and is selfish and nonsense.
Perhaps, to some extent, Long Zhanyan was indeed hurt.
However, it was she who let Liu Ruyu go to the Absolute Sacred Valley; The person who begged Liu Ruyu to bring Jiang Fengxiang out was also her; It was also her who hurt Liu Ruyu.
If it weren't for Long Zhanyan and Jiang Fengxiang, he wouldn't have killed Li Xuanyi, all of this was her fault.
The person who really killed Jiang Fengxiang was obviously this woman herself, why did she blame others?
Seeing that it has arrived, Liu Ruyu is at the foot of Daming Mountain.
Ling Xiao finally spoke: "Let me declare first, this is the Valley of the Dead, and the woman who guards the valley is called Night Charm. ”
Night Charm? Long Zhanyan was slightly surprised, but he quickly reacted and knew that he was the owner of the mountain in front of him.
Long Zhanyan immediately smiled and nodded, "Thank you for the reminder." ”
"Don't be self-inflicted, I'm not for you!" Ling Xiao specially explained, looking at her smiling face and feeling depressed, "I'm afraid that you will cause trouble, and I have to have honor to come out and settle it for you." ”
Long Zhanyan still said with a smile: "It turned out to be selling his face, so accept my thank you for him." ”
"You can go and tell him yourself." Ling Xiao's hostility decreased slightly, but his expression was complicated.
Long Zhanyan said to Ling Xiao, "You know that I won't thank him. ”
Ling Xiao looked at Long Zhanyan steadily, his slender eyelashes trembled slightly, then turned around and walked forward without saying a word.
Long Zhanyan was still behind, following him unhurriedly.
After passing through a muddy terrain, Long Zhanyan suddenly noticed a strange feeling under her feet, she swept her eyes, immediately gasped, and swallowed the scream into her throat.
In the ground in front of him, suddenly an arm stretched out, sending it to bitter rot.
The hands on the ground stretched out more and more, apparently trying to stop the two of them from advancing.
Long Zhanyan bit her lip and gradually began to calm down, she stared at the ground for a while.
Looking up at Lin Xiao who was not far away, he didn't care much, and shouted, "Can I cut off these hands?" ”
Ling Xiao, who had been walking forward, stopped and glanced back at him, then his gaze gradually moved downward, his brows raised slightly, and he shouted loudly: "Night Charm, can you put these things in?" ”
After a while, an emotionless female voice came.
"Ling Xiao, why should I listen to you?"
"This woman is a guest, I brought her here to see Liu Ruyu."
The girl seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then spoke again: "Ling Xiao, it's not your turn to call the shots in the Valley of the Dead, I don't welcome any living person, let her go."
At this time, the corpse, you slowly burrowed out of the dirt, staggering towards the dragon Zhanyan.
"Night Charm, this woman has a different meaning to Liu Ruyu, if you do such a rude thing, if Liu Ruyu knows, I'm afraid the consequences will be very miserable."
The air immediately fell silent, and after a long time no sound was heard, and gradually the corpses burrowed back into the earth.
Ling Xiao sighed lowly, he looked at Long Zhanyan, but saw a calm and calm face.
"You don't seem to be scared at all, so you don't worry about being dragged into the dirt by a corpse?"
"Ling Xiao, death is not so terrible." Long Zhanyan pulled his black hair behind his ears and seemed to smile, but there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.
"Are you really not afraid of death?" Ling Xiao clearly remembered how much this woman was afraid of pain and tiredness at the beginning.
"When you have experienced something more desperate and frightening than death, you will realize that death is actually a relief."
Ling Xiao sneered twice, he didn't need to ask, he immediately thought of what Long Zhanyan said, it should be that thing, and said coldly: "Since it is so painful, why didn't you commit suicide?" ”
Long Zhanyan hooked his lips and smiled, his starry eyes were bottomless, and said, "Living is also a responsibility.
Ling Xiao was stunned by her reaction, quickly turned his face away, and continued to walk up the mountain.
At the top of the hill is a simple wooden house built on a cliff with a pine tree planted on the side.
Ling Xiao pointed to the room from afar and said, "Liu Ruyu is inside, you go and see him yourself, make a good decision, don't make him half dead." ”
Barely at the door, I heard a sigh.
Long Zhanyan lowered his eyes, his legs were heavy as lead, after all, he was not mentally prepared to meet him.
Long Zhanyan laughed at himself, with Liu Ruyu's skills, he should have discovered her a long time ago, but he didn't come out, which shows that Liu Ruyu, like himself, was not psychologically prepared accordingly.
Long Zhanyan walked forward in a daze, what was he thinking? How can a person like Liu Ruyu feel guilty and hesitate, such a person who is empty-eyed, can do whatever he wants, get what he wants, and care about the feelings of others.
Long Zhanyan gritted her teeth and walked into the room, she was in a trance for a moment, and in an instant, she couldn't stop blinking, to make sure that she was wrong, that familiar figure was actually lying on the bed and sleeping.
Is that really right? For example, if you don't notice anyone in the house, her breathing starts to get tense and rapid.
Long Zhanyan approached step by step, and finally stood on the edge of the bed, her eyes staring straight at the person in front of her, who she once thought she loved deeply.
As the minutes passed, the gaze gradually became misty.
Suddenly, Long Zhanyan met a pair of black eyes that suddenly opened.
Liu Ruyu woke up.
Long Zhanyan's breathing was instantly suffocated, and he suddenly felt at a loss.
She opened her mouth slightly and said, "I, when I was outside the house, didn't you notice me coming?" ”
The black starry eyes said straight without blinking: "I slept relatively soundly." ”
Nervous air rises in a small space.
