Chapter 222 Peach Blossom
"Kill Wei Changtian within three days."
"Just because Wei Changtian saved you once, have you become soft-hearted?"
"You are a member of the Dragon Guard! Your life is no longer in your own hands!"
"This bottle contains phoenix gall powder. Mix it with wine and give it to him. He will fall asleep in a quarter of an hour."
"This is your last mission."
"Longque, don't let the emperor down."
“.”
The cold wind howled on the top of Jiuding Mountain. In the distance, the main hall of Tianluo Sect stood majestically, and the surrounding buildings were connected with pavilions and double-eaved roofs, which was magnificent.
Although it was late at night, one could still clearly see the most iconic building of the Tianluo Sect - the Black Tower.
Every time a "famous and upright sect" with more than 10,000 people was destroyed, one more floor was built. Now there are 52 floors high, like a sharp sword rising from the top of the mountain, piercing through the dark night.
You Jia looked up at the tall black tower, her mind in a mess, filled with what Li Huaizhong had just said.
She had carried out countless missions and killed countless people, but this was the first time she felt so hesitant.
Is it because I will die after this mission?
Or is it because he couldn't bear to take action against Wei Changtian who had saved him?
Or maybe... Youjia sighed softly, a trace of self-deprecating regret showing on her innocent face.
Sure enough, she is still a chess piece. When Wei Changtian rescued her from Jing Yuan, she still deceived herself into thinking that one day she could stand in front of Ning Yongnian again and let this man fulfill his previous promise with a smile.
But the fact is, after Ning Yongnian learned that he was not dead, he was still thinking about how to use him.
Not even waiting to see me again.
"Don't disappoint the Emperor"
Youjia had heard this sentence many times.
Every time she heard this before, she would think, “As long as I don’t disappoint the emperor, the emperor won’t disappoint me either.”
But listening to it again now, I find it somewhat ridiculous for some reason.
Never mind. It's the last time anyway.
That's it No matter how hesitant, hesitant, or desperate she was, You Jia never thought of betraying Ning Yongnian, nor did she think of "disobeying orders".
Since Ning Yongnian wants to kill Wei Changtian himself, then kill him He walked silently through the night and returned to his room. The moment he opened the door, a bunch of pink on the table made You Jia suddenly stunned.
There were a few peach blossoms in a vase. The petals were small and exquisite, with occasional white in the pink color, like a small piece of morning glow falling from the sky in the early morning.
Peach blossoms love peach blossoms the most.
But who put this flower here? Yu Jia, who had done too many secret things, did not approach to appreciate the flower out of "professional instinct", but stepped out of the door first and found a Tianluo Sect disciple who was guarding not far away.
"Sir, has anyone been here just now?"
"Ah, Miss You, Master Wei was here just now."
The disciple smiled and said, "He waited for you for a while, but when he saw that you hadn't returned yet, he left first."
"oh"
When You Jia heard the words "Master Wei", she felt a sudden surge of guilt.
"Did Master Wei bring those peach blossoms?"
"yes."
The disciple in green robe nodded: "Young Master Wei said that the peach blossoms are in full bloom right now, but there is no such beauty on Jiuding Mountain, so he picked a few from somewhere else to show you first."
"Master Wei also said that if the girl likes it, he will take her down the mountain to see the vast expanse of peach blossoms in a few days."
“.”
The green-robed disciple was still talking, but his voice seemed to be getting fainter.
Of course, You Jia didn't know that Wei Changtian already knew her preferences, and she thought all this was just an "inappropriate" coincidence.
If you like, I will take you to see the vast expanses of peach blossoms.
I really want to go and see it, but why is it not him who said this?
He obviously knew that she liked peach blossoms the most.
You Jia didn't know how she got back to her room, nor did she know that her psychological defenses had been broken.
She slowly walked to the table, looked at the small, pink petals, and suddenly remembered the eighth of the nine poems Wei Changtian wrote that night at the Chunlong Poetry Meeting.
On this day last year, the faces of people and the peach blossoms were reflected in this door.
The person’s face is nowhere to be seen, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze.
A quarter of an hour later, at the foot of Jiuding Mountain.
"Master Wei, I have done what you asked me to do."
In the carriage parked at the mountain gate, Li Huaizhong looked at Wei Changtian sitting opposite him and said with a complicated expression: "Longque seemed a little hesitant, but she still agreed."
"Well, that's good."
Wei Changtian nodded, not surprised by the result.
After all, according to the description in the original novel, the character Long Que is deeply in love with Ning Yongnian.
So it is undoubtedly difficult to conquer such a woman.
Wei Changtian knew that if he wanted to take down You Jia by the "boiling frog in warm water" method, it would most likely be impossible.
Even if it is possible, who knows when it will happen.
Therefore, he had to use a more "intense" incident to win Youjia's heart in one fell swoop.
At first, Wei Changtian planned to let Li Huaizhong pretend to be ordered to kill You Jia, and then he would appear as a hero to save the beauty, completely intensifying the conflict between You Jia and Ning Yongnian while also adding points to himself.
Although this method is effective, it has too many loopholes.
Why did Ning Yongnian want to kill You Jia for no reason?
And what reason should he have to appear at the "crime" scene "just right"? It is difficult to give a self-consistent explanation for such questions, so in the end Wei Changtian chose to let You Jia "kill" him.
First of all, this would make the whole thing seem very reasonable, and You Jia would certainly not have any doubts.
Secondly, the effect of this plan may be better than plan one.
After all, the power of "guilt" is not necessarily worse than "gratitude".
“.”
"Eunuch Li, I will tell you the method to make up for the Yin-Yang Power."
Since the matter was done, Wei Changtian did not go back on his words this time and said, "Your hidden disease is caused by the excess of yin and the deficiency of yang in your body."
"Find some virgin boys, have them practice Yang Gong, and then pass their internal energy to you at regular intervals."
"As long as your body's yin and yang are balanced, your hidden illness will naturally go away."
“.”
Li Huaizhong took a huge risk to "falsely convey the imperial edict", but in the end he only got three sentences.
But he didn't seem dissatisfied, and even looked a little excited.
No matter what happens, at least the Yin-Yang issue that has troubled me for a long time has finally been resolved.
"Mr. Wei, thank you very much."
After saying thank you for the rare time, Li Huaizhong took out two things from his sleeves and placed them on the small table in front of him.
"Master Wei, this bottle contains the antidote to the Phoenix Gall Powder. Take it in advance. It will protect you from the poison of the Phoenix Gall Powder within six hours."
"There is also this piece of mother-and-child jade. If you need any help from us in the future, you can just burn the jade. Even if we can't come, we will send our confidants to see you."
"good."
Wei Changtian didn't say much. He just nodded and watched Li Huaizhong walk out of the car curtain, then disappeared from his sight in an instant.
Really fast! He muttered to himself, looking further into the distance.
The moonlight spread deeply above Jiuding Mountain, and the dim lights of Shuzhou City in the distance were erased by the night.
It is like a peach blossom blooming between heaven and earth.
