Song Yu looked at the person going away, then looked at the jade pendant lying quietly on the ground. This time, tears of regret flowed out without restraint.
He took out a handkerchief from his bosom and picked up the fragments bit by bit.
In fact, he was always looking at Xu Tianze, but every time he saw Xu Tianze about to look at him, he would hurriedly cast his gaze on the blood jade lotus pendant on his waist.
This jade pendant was given to him when he and Xu Tianze first met when they were young.
Although he was the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion when he was young, his father was away fighting in the frontier. He was the only little kid in the huge Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. There were evil slaves bullying their master inside and constant assassinations outside.
The people sent by his father to protect him died one after another. During the most dangerous time, all the people who were protecting him were dead, and it took more than half a day for new reinforcements to arrive.
That time, he ran madly in the crowded street to delay time, and ended up bumping into Xu Tianze, his second brother, and a large group of servants.
But who knew that the assassin was so arrogant that he wanted to die together with his enemy and was determined to kill him at all costs. It was Xu Tianze who blocked the fatal knife for him, which allowed him to survive by chance.
So he gave Xu Tianze the blood jade lotus pendant that had been passed down in his family since childhood. He still remembered that when he woke up, he stayed by Xu Tianze's bed and handed the jade pendant to Xu Tianze.
As he handed it over, he said that he owed Xu Tianze a life, and from now on they would be good friends and good brothers. They did not ask to share happiness and fortune, but to share hardships.
Now that Xu Tianze smashed the jade pendant in front of him, does that mean their friendship will really be severed from now on, with no possibility of them moving forward side by side?
Xu Tianze was actually a little heartbroken about breaking the jade pendant, but he broke it on purpose. He hesitated when he should have, and suffered the consequences.
Since he and Song Yu have already stood on opposite sides, he will not allow himself to have any softness towards Song Yu.
You can say he is ruthless or has no nostalgia at all. With a blood feud on his side, nothing is important to Xu Tianze now except his enemies.
-------------------------------------
The four seasons in the mountains pass by in a moment. Right now, heavy snow is falling in the valley. Old Qi sits in the pavilion, leisurely drinking warm wine.
Slightly tipsy, I was in a good mood and said, "Ah~, snow, you are snowing so heavily."
Just as he finished reciting the poem, he heard someone behind him chuckle. He turned around and looked back, and saw a young man in purple clothes, a dark purple cloak, and a wooden hairpin on his head walking towards him.
He looked at the falling snow outside the pavilion, and for a moment he became interested and joined in the conversation: "Jade jade, white jade, dotted with flying petals, like goose feathers."
Old Qi curled his lips, drank his wine without saying a word, and pretended not to see Xu Tianze.
Xu Tianze smiled helplessly. This old man was as difficult to deal with as usual. But they had been getting along for some time after all. The old man had his own strategies, so could it be that he hadn't made any progress yet?
Xu Tianze walked over to Old Qi and poured himself a glass of wine, saying to himself, "I've picked a lot of seasonal flowers this year, dried them, and made seasonal wine. I think it's about time to start the jar."
Seeing Old Qi's eyes rolling back and forth, he knew something was up, and then he asked Old Qi in a fake tone: "Old Qi, I remember there are some dried bamboo shoots in the cellar. I think it would be perfect to make bamboo shoot chicken, right?"
Little guy, it depends on whether you will take the bait or not. When it comes to eating and drinking, he has a firm grip on Old Qi.
Old Qi swallowed his saliva and was about to nod when he remembered the flying letter his prince had given him yesterday. He shuddered all over and his gluttony was cured at once.
Based on his understanding of this brat Xu Tianze, as long as he agreed, he would have to agree to let Xu Tianze leave the valley.
If he met someone, heard something, or stayed outside for too long, his life would be over.
For the sake of his old body, Mr. Qi shook his head decisively and refused to look at Xu Tianze.
Xu Tianze looked at Old Qi in confusion, muttering to himself, "When has this old man ever been so still? He always runs faster than a rabbit when he hears about good wine or delicious food, but this time he didn't react at all."
So Xu Tianze stood up and walked out slowly: "Well, it looks like I have to go to the cellar to look for it myself."
As he spoke, he paid attention to Mr. Qi's movements. Seeing that Mr. Qi still didn't react, Xu Tianze knew something was wrong.
"The crescent moon rises in the sky, the falling snow stops quietly, it is the time to kill and burn." Old Qi muttered this and turned off the light in his room.
After a while, a figure quietly left Qi Lao's room. After leaving Qi Lao's room, the figure circled back and forth around the valley many times, as if looking for some valuables.
After circling around for who knows how many times, the figure finally found his target and rushed in at once.
Looking around at the pots and pans, the figure sniffed here and there, and finally found what he wanted: a jar of wine and half a chicken.
Just as he was devouring his meal, another dark figure stood silently behind him and said faintly, "Master Qi, is it delicious?"
Mr. Qi nodded first, then his body stiffened and he turned around to see the figure's shiny white teeth.
“Ghost!!!” Old Qi screamed in fear and wanted to run away.
After running for a long time, he found himself still in the same place. Then he looked up and saw that Xu Tianze was holding his belt.
"Pretend, why don't you pretend anymore?" Xu Tianze grabbed Qi Lao's belt with one hand and took out his earplugs with the other, looking at Qi Lao leisurely. "There are ghosts, but I don't know if they are greedy ghosts or starving ghosts."
