Chapter 150 Chapter 150 He still thought too simply.
Everything was buzzing and vibrating. The colorful chandeliers in the hall were swaying, and the tassels of the overhead lamps swung into semicircles. The entire hall bounced up and down three inches.
A huge hole like a sinkhole appeared on the stage.
The buzzing sound continued for a long time.
When the smoke and wood chips cleared and the shaking of the floor gradually subsided, the musicians below the stage and the guests in the hall finally had the courage to hold on to the tables and chairs in the corridor and timidly look towards the source of the roar. They saw that the carved railings on the second floor had been torn in half, and the ground was almost tilted. In the smoke and dust, there was a person standing there looking down at them.
He was wearing black silk covering his eyes, a wide robe with big sleeves, and he stood in front of the broken railing, like an immortal riding a cloud in the sky.
The immortal was extremely angry, and his whole body seemed to be filled with thunder, which was about to explode with crackling sounds.
Nan Qiong Shuang only then realized that he had been watching the match on the second floor from beginning to end, watching the two people fighting with the pipa and martial arts from beginning to end.
If so, it can be explained.
Gu Huaijin would never watch her being forced to the neck by a sword.
She raised her head and looked out the window on the second floor on the other side.
Seeing this sudden change, Yun Manyue only looked at Gu Huaijin for a moment and immediately waved to her.
On the second floor, Chang Da shouted, "Catch her!"
The three Fuyu guards, wearing helmets and armor, stepped up from the four sides of the high platform in an instant, and there was a sound of armor.
Nan Qiongshuang no longer bothered to look around, she turned around, stepped back, gathered her strength, and was about to take off into the air.
Suddenly, Gongsun Hong could be heard shouting in anger from within the smoke: "What? You're playing mantis stalking cicada with me. You've conspired with others to plot against me, right, you little bastard? You want the position of deputy hall master?!"
With a flick of the sword tip, the smoke and dust suddenly broke apart, and Gongsun Hong's green sword suddenly pierced her eyes. She bent down suddenly and barely avoided it.
The sword was withdrawn with a swish, and pierced out from the yellow smoke and wood chips again. She blocked it hastily with a silk thread. She turned around and saw Gongsun Hong coming out from the smoke. Her face was ferocious and fierce. She held a nine-treasure pipa in her arms and pressed the phoenix platform of the pipa.
She immediately took something out of her sleeve and unfolded it.
A sudden downpour of silver needles.
The cloud brocade spiraled out with a rustling sound, covering her body, and was then dented and twisted by the silver needles that were piercing her like a rainstorm.
She tugged at the brocade and spun around several times.
The cloud-like brocade was gradually embellished with silver needles until it became difficult to spin and almost entangled her body.
The silver needles stored in the Nine Treasures Pipa fired twice in succession, and suddenly there was a hurricane-like roar from above, and they were thrown violently into the hall on the first floor and hit the wall with a bang.
The whole hall was filled with scattered rubble and everyone was trying to avoid it.
When the smoke and dust broke through again, the silver needles in the pipa were all used up, and the walls of the hall were filled with silver needles. The bright lights were shaking, the light and shadows were moving around, and the light spots and needle shadows on the wall were swaying in unison.
Nan Qiong Shuang had no desire to continue fighting. While Gongsun Hong was looking back at the direction of the silver needle, she tiptoed up and used her nimble hands and feet to gain leverage from the intact railing on the other side of the second floor. She turned several times in the air like a swift and flew straight to the second-floor window.
Next to the window, Yun Manyue had been waiting for a long time, with his arms open, taking a step forward to gather strength, ready to lean over and take advantage of the momentum to get out of the window.
On the opposite side, Gu Huaijin had a gloomy expression and silently opened his palm towards this side.
Nan Qiongshuang saw him raising his hand in anger from afar in the spinning space, and her heart suddenly turned cold - this man might become suspicious again. She wanted to escape with her colleagues and leave without saying goodbye.
Sure enough, before she could move, her body froze, and her flying momentum gradually disappeared. She froze in the air for a moment, and then was dragged to the opposite side by an invisible force.
She watched Yun Manyue moving further and further away from her.
"Pull me!" she said anxiously.
Yun Manyue jumped up without saying a word.
She never expected that Yun Manyue could appear in front of her with just one leap.
Yun Manyue rubbed her nose in an instant.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
In an instant, someone grabbed my wrist.
Before she could react, she suddenly rushed forward, then the force pushing her backwards peeled off, and she was at the window. Suddenly, the roof was no longer the ground in front of her eyes, and then it was dark night.
Yun Manyue: "Hold on tight!"
She was completely unable to catch up. The wind blew so hard that she could hardly breathe. She followed with a dangling step for two steps, and was immediately pulled by Yun Man Yue's arm and lifted into the air. He flew after her without touching the ground.
Yun Man Yue took her away, but in fact he was just using her as a kite.
She was dizzy from the wind and flew up and down involuntarily. Not to mention being unable to help, she couldn't even see the things in front of her. She only saw the streets passing by below her and the eaves flashing one by one. She had no idea which road was which or where Wuyi Lane was.
Inside the Golden Phoebe Hall of Prince Ding's Mansion, Gu Huaijin stood on the bare second floor with a broken railing, his expression gloomy and unclear.
Jiang Qiang, the armored general of the Fuyu Three Guards, pushed aside the pearl curtain and bowed to Chang Da, reporting: "Your Majesty, I have sent out thirty cavalrymen to pursue them urgently."
Chang Da sat back in the armchair and glanced meaningfully at Gu Huaijin's gloomy back.
"If you have any news, please report it to the king immediately."
Jiang Qiang: "Yes."
"If you can keep them alive, keep them alive." Chang Da spat, "I want to see what kind of bastard dares to mess with me."
"yes."
The three Fu Yu guards received the order and went down, the clattering sound of armor gradually fading away.
Chang Da sat on a chair, poured himself a cup of Xuezhong Ningxiang, and asked casually, "Mr. Gu, are you familiar with that woman?"
Gu Huaijin didn't answer for a long time.
He didn't know why she and her colleagues were here today, or what their purpose was. He also didn't know if the fight between them just now was just a show.
However, the person who took her away was the one who stood on the roof with her that night.
The piece of white silk she used to protect herself was also the white silk she received from that man that day.
That person might protect her.
But where to go?
"Mr. Gu."
He suddenly came to his senses.
When he turned around, he saw Chang Da holding the teacup, his legs spread apart, his elbows resting on his knees, sipping tea with slurps.
The voice was normal, but Chang Da's expression - his full beard was blown into curls by his breath, his lion nose was wrinkled, and he looked sinister and fierce, and his black eyes were almost squeezed out from the whites of his eyes.
He immediately knew what Chang Da was suspecting.
He had just rescued her, and Chang Da suspected that he was involved with the assassin.
A slight smile appeared on his lips, and he fluttered his sleeves.
"Indeed, I am familiar with him."
He said slowly, "During the Tianshan disaster, she deceived me, betrayed me, and almost took my life. She was a spy woman."
"If you catch her, please let me know and let me know." He smiled. "I appreciate this favor, Gu."
Before Chang Da could reply, the beaded curtain was opened again. Jiang Qiang knelt on one knee again and clasped his fists: "Your Highness, there's a fire in the kitchen!"
"The kitchen?" Prince Ding stared at Jiang Qiang fiercely, thought for a moment, and then turned his eyes to look at Gu Huaijin.
Gu Huaijin leaned in the chair, detached from the matter, his elbows resting on the armrests, his tall figure, long legs crossed, and he looked indifferent.
Chang Da: "How far did the fire spread?! How did the fire suddenly break out?!"
Jiang Qiang glanced at Gu Huaijin awkwardly. It was a private matter in the mansion, and with outsiders present, he didn't dare report it, fearing Chang Da would turn against him and settle scores later.
Gu Huaijin took his leave and nodded politely, "Prince Ding has many things to do, but I am grateful for your time and invitation to accompany me. Since you are busy, I will take my leave first."
Chang Da was waiting for this sentence from him, so he naturally didn't want to keep him. He clasped his fists and replied in a deep voice: "See you another day."
*
After leaving Prince Ding's palace, he went straight to the eaves where she and that...man-like woman had stayed that night.
Stand on the high eaves, hold your breath, close your eyes and listen attentively.
The night breeze gently ruffled his long hair and the hems of his clothes. Amid the din of carriages and the clamor of the long street, there was a faint, crisp sound of a bell.
He suddenly leaped into the night, heading straight for the sound of the bell.
But, in fact, he didn't know whether he should go to see her.
On the day she tied the bell to her foot, she left Wuliang Mountain, and her elusive vicious dog fell into his hands.
He was tortured on Wuliang Mountain and interrogated day and night for three days.
At the end of the interrogation, it was unclear whether the dog was suffering more or he was suffering more.
There was still much he didn't know about the Tianshan disaster.
He still remembered the dog, bound and shackled to the rack, its body covered in wounds. Blood dripped down, forming a small puddle on the ground. Even in this state of utter despair, it refused to let go. When asked about the inner workings of the Rebirth Gate, it still gritted its teeth and chuckled:
"Want to take revenge on our Wangsheng Sect? First, take care of that traitorous woman of yours."
Gu Huaijin slammed the whip in his hand to the ground: "I didn't ask about her."
Wu Dao laughed: "Don't you want to ask, or don't you dare to ask?"
"Shut up!" He didn't know why, but he felt uneasy and instinctively didn't want to listen.
"I only want to ask you where the Gate of Rebirth is, what its internal structure is like, who are the people inside, and what kind of mechanisms are there."
"If you ask your woman about these things, won't she know everything? You two are in love, so she'll definitely tell you." Wu Dao's hair fell down and draped over his forehead. His eyes were exhausted and unfocused, and he was panting, but he smiled and said, "I'll tell you something she won't tell you."
He immediately raised his whip to hit him.
Wu Dao smiled: "She loves that guy surnamed Li so much, you know that."
Wu Dao saw his arm pause with satisfaction.
With two crackling sounds, the whip hit his face again, almost breaking his neck, making his nose bridge extremely sore and tears streaming down his face.
But when I looked up.
The man in front of him turned pale.
This was interesting. Wu Dao grinned and said, "She loves that guy, but she never told you. Do you know how I knew?" She lowered her voice and whispered softly, "Back then, before he left the mountain, he left her a token of love."
Gu Huaijin tensed up: "What token?"
"A pair of jade pendants." Wu Dao chuckled, "Half red, half green. Both pieces are shaped like fish, so they can be put together."
Gu Huaijin breathed a sigh of relief.
He was talking about the Yin-Yang Key.
This stupid dog doesn't even know this, yet he still tries to sow discord.
Seeing that he didn't react, Wu Dao even calmly reeled up the whip in his hand, raised it high, and said anxiously, "Hey, hey, hey, don't be so anxious, I haven't finished yet. How did that man come out of the mountains back then? Do you know?"
The whip in Gu Huaijin's hand suddenly stopped in the air again.
Wu Dao narrowed his eyes and laughed: "After she fell down the waterfall, she accidentally discovered a secret path out of the mountain. She showed him the way."
"fart!"
Gu Huaijin whipped him across the face with a whip.
There was a chilling crackling sound.
A wide and deep bloodstain immediately appeared on Wu Dao's face, and blood trickled down. However, he felt even happier: "Really, everything I said is true. This is what she said herself when she came back to report on her work. Everything she said during the report will be investigated by the Wangsheng Sect. Her mission is already completed, so why would she lie about such a small matter? So..."
Another whip lashed out, rustling like the wind, and the skin on his shoulder was torn.
Wu Dao finally let out a painful roar.
Gu Huaijin pursed his lips tightly, feeling a buzzing in his head and a little dizzy.
When the Yin-Yang Key was stolen, he suspected that it was Li Xuanbai's work.
If the dog said that the Yin-Yang Key was left to her by Li Xuanbai, then it was indeed Li Xuanbai who stole it.
However, Li Xuanbai took the key but did not do anything. Instead, he gave it to her.
Then it just disappeared.
The dog said she knew a secret way out of the mountain.
He was in charge of the entire mountain back then, so he naturally knew that there was indeed a road out of the mountain near the river downstream of the waterfall where she fell.
Wu Dao: "So, that kid surnamed Li stole the key and was let down by her. She told this herself...she told the Records Office herself."
"Shut up!" Another fierce whip.
He roared angrily, but he had a vague feeling in his heart.
He is right.
That makes sense.
Why did she let this thief go down the mountain?
He didn't dare to think about the bad things.
Perhaps it was to get the Yin-Yang Key and return it to him.
But.
Even if it's just to return the Yin-Yang Key to him.
She should come to him too.
Let him, the young master of the past, handle it, let him arrest him, put him in the Death Water Prison and torture him, instead of releasing him privately.
Knowing that he stole the Yin-Yang Key and plotted against Tianshan, why did they let him go down the mountain?!
At that time, long before the Qiqiao Night in Lan Pavilion, she had already stood with Tianshan's enemies, and perhaps had already thought about betraying him.
He was like a drowning man, the gurgling water surface drowned his ears. He was underwater, and all the sounds he heard were distant and unclear.
"You really have to believe what I say." Wu Dao licked the blood off his face with half his tongue sticking out of his mouth, slurping it. "Later, we went back to the Rebirth Gate and played cards together. One time, she lost, and someone was so kind as to ask her if she had ever fallen in love with anyone after all these years of assassination."
Gu Huaijin gripped the whip tighter in his hand, and the muscles on his wrists tensed.
"She said yes."
Gu Huaijin had no expression on his face.
"It's said that it was that kid named Li. He said that the two looked very similar. What should be forgotten should be forgotten."
Wu Dao laughed. "She said it herself. I listened to every word! So, now that the mission is over and we're all playing cards together, is there any reason for her to lie? You... Ouch!"
A terrible cry of pain.
"You're full of farts, and you won't shut up. I'll teach you how to shut up!"
"Don't!" Wu Dao still had a playful smile on his face. "I've only said a few words, and you can't stand it anymore. I'm telling you more, so you won't be deceived by that woman. It's a good thing."
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm just asking you about the inside story of the Rebirth Gate."
Wu Dao smiled apologetically, "Let me tell you about her first meeting with that Li guy."
"I'm asking about the inside story of the Gate of Rebirth!" He raised the whip again.
Wu Dao didn't even flinch. The whip whirred towards him, and when it was about to hit his head, he said, "The first time they met, they kissed!"
The whip suddenly stopped in place and did not swing out.
It was really funny. Wu Dao was so happy looking at the pale face of the man in front of him. He was said to be tortured, but he didn't know who was suffering.
After a long while, Gu Huaijin used up all his strength and finally uttered a few words: "...You say."
"The first time, she killed Song Mei on the road and passed by that guy's residence. She was caught right after she passed by. Then, I don't know what she was thinking, she grabbed the guy and kissed him." Wu Dao laughed, "But it's all true. She took the initiative, she went up and kissed him, and the kiss stunned the guy. If you don't believe me, go ask the guy!"
Gu Huaijin had always wondered when Li Xuanbai had first taken a liking to her. Almost from the first time they met, he had sensed that Li treated her differently.
That boy is so arrogant, how could he easily fall in love with a woman.
turn out to be.
He had also long thought that there might be something between them. Perhaps they had kissed, more than once.
However, even if he had thought about the two of them kissing, he had never thought about her taking the initiative.
Their first meeting. So early.
We kissed so early.
He trembled all over: "...How did you kiss?"
"Just, mouth to mouth. Just pout your little lips and give each other a couple of kisses." Wu Dao's lips were pouting like a morning glory, and he kept sucking.
Gu Huaijin didn't speak for a long time.
After a long while, he said, "...get out."
"What?" Wu Dao leaned forward with his ears perked up.
"I say," Gu Huaijin said, "get out."
There was a loud bang, and that time, he lost control of his strength and almost collapsed the entire mountain prison, almost burying the dog alive inside.
"Don't be angry, there's more. I have much more to tell you."
Wu Dao knew that he would not really kill him, so he laughed.
Gu Huaijin was completely numb and insensitive. He held the torture instruments, and although he didn't show any expression, he still retained some of the dignity of the head of Yishan. However, that dignity was like the plaque of a ruined temple, which could not scare away any evil spirits.
Wu Dao became more and more proud, grinning:
"You pity her fragility. Do you know how many times she's hurt herself? Many of these injuries were fake. From the very beginning, the kidnapping was all staged. Later, she fell down the stairs, burned her hand, and was shot by an arrow. These were all her own ideas. No one forced her to do anything."
"You were attracted to her the moment you saw her, weren't you? She used Chinese toon medicine the first time she saw you. There's a kind of wood with a strange fragrance that can arouse passion, but that wood is actually highly poisonous. To seduce you, she disregarded her own health and used the poisonous wood to fumigate you day and night! Do you really think you love her?!"
"That woman looks pitiful, doesn't she? But you feel sorry for her, but have you ever considered that she was being used?! She took advantage of your kindness and plotted against Tianshan, bringing down the entire Tianshan. Do you really not hate her? You initially had good intentions, but in the end, you caused the entire sect to perish because of you - do you really not hate her?"
Gu Huaijin was speechless.
He initially, really, just had good intentions.
Later, the sect collapsed and died because of him.
Don't think like that, he told himself. Don't think like that. Don't let this dog drive them apart. Trust her.
Gu Huaijin sighed and actually laughed: "That's because you forced her. If she had a choice, she would never betray me. Even if she approached me with malicious intentions at first - later, it was also because of you who forced her!"
"We forced her?" Wu Dao thought he was incredibly funny. "We forced her? Oh my God, that was her own choice!"
"Of course she could choose you, confess to you, betray me, and have the entire Tianshan Mountain capture me. But did she choose you? No! She doesn't trust you, she trusts me, she trusts us. Do you really think she's on your side?"
"I understand her. Even if she had some stupid thoughts, she's not stupid. Do you know what your ending was? She forgot about you! Do you know how many men are chasing after these bitches? Can you imagine?! There are too many people who love them. Can they care about it? People like them don't take love seriously. They say love today and kill tomorrow. It's all fucking acting! She said she loved you, and you believed it?"
Gu Huaijin couldn't answer a single word.
Wu Dao laughed and spat, "Fuck, he's really fucking blind. He can do it as soon as the bitch closes her legs, and the client is crying his eyes out..."
He didn't finish his words.
Gu Huaijin cut off his right hand.
Now, he thought that cutting off only one of his hands was not enough.
Gu Huaijin ran alone in the night, heading straight towards the sound of the bell.
However, the sound of the bell was too light and too weak, as if it was a memory from the past, or an ominous sound to summon the dead.
He was a vague, vengeful ghost with lingering resentment. He didn't know what the future held, but only knew to run towards the ringing of the bell.
If he could, he really wanted to have a good cry.
It turns out that there was more to their relationship than just the Lan Pavilion Qiqiao Night that year.
On many nights before, in the quiet evenings in the Muxue Courtyard, with the moon rising from the mountains and the cicadas chirping faintly, he lit a lamp on the couch to review documents, and she slept on his lap, thinking in her heart that she would use his kindness and love to deceive him into being abandoned by his friends and relatives and destroying his family.
The dog was right about one thing after all.
Because of his kindness, he harmed the entire mountain, and the entire Tianshan Mountains were destroyed in his hands.
The thing he tried his best to protect, the thing he valued more than his own life, fell because of him and died because of him.
Just because of the kindness I showed her back then.
She forced him to become a spy accomplice, a traitor to the sect, and a criminal who destroyed the mountain.
He was still too foolish, thinking too simply. The two of them shouldn't have been together, they shouldn't have been together in the first place.
Even if she was forced, he shouldn't let it go.
But, he.
He thought about death again.
Ask her first. He thought to himself, let’s ask her first.
On Fairy Lake, there are many tourist boats, each with bright lights. The night and the water have lost their boundaries, and the upper and lower parts are symmetrically shining with splendor.
He was standing alone on the shore, looking out at the center of the lake, where a boat with a white lotus lantern lit on its bow was located.
Nan Qiong Shuang had just entered the boat.
The two of them turned left and right, went east and west in Wuyi Lane, and went back and forth for who knows how many times. Finally, they left the team of extremely elite Fu Yu Sanwei behind, changed direction, and went to Fairy Lake.
Gongsun Hongbei's boat had already been waiting on the shore.
Yun Manyue took her hand, lifted the bamboo curtain under the awning, and crouched down to enter the boat.
There were no lights inside the ship.
Yun Man Yue hid behind the boat wall, lifted the bamboo curtain, and looked around vigilantly. After looking around for a moment, he finally lowered the curtain and blocked the door tightly.
When I turned around, Nan Qiongshuang was kneeling on the ground with her hands on the ground, panting so hard that she couldn't even lift her head.
She walked over, squatted on one knee, and put a hand behind her back to help her breathe: "Are you okay?"
Nan Qiong Shuang couldn't even utter a word.
Her health was so poor that she could barely move. She'd already fought Gongsun Hong on stage, and had nearly been forced to stay by Gu Huaijin. She'd managed to escape with a last-ditch effort, only to be grabbed by Yun Manyue's arm and tumbled through the narrow alley. By this point, she'd been running so hard that everything was black, and a sharp ringing in her ears was ringing.
The exposed areas felt as if they had been bitten by insects, causing both pain and numbness.
She gasped and shook her head: "Not bad."
Yun Manyue sighed, "Your health is really too poor. In the past, when I took you on a run like this, you would never have been out of breath like this."
Her face was pale, and she closed her eyes in exhaustion. "Things are different now." She then turned to Yun Manyue and said, "There's no time. I'm very dizzy. Can you help me find my change of clothes? I can't see."
"At the stern, I saw her. Don't worry." Yun Manyue turned around and looked around. She fluttered her eyelids and was shocked to see that her clothes had been removed, revealing a large area of her snow-white back. It was so bright that her heart skipped a beat. "Shuang'er, you..."
Nan Qiong Shuang didn't notice anything was wrong and continued to take off her outer garment. She untied the laces of her inner skirt, and the moon-white skirt suddenly slid down. She turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yun Manyue didn't dare to look anymore.
Silently, he helped her untie her hair and put on her necklace and hairpins.
Suddenly, Yun Manyue paused, stood up, and looked around.
Nan Qiong Shuang turned her head suspiciously, and immediately saw her index finger raised between her lips.
Yun Manyue slowly put half of the outer garment she had just taken off back on and hung it on her shoulders.
Yun Manyue: "Someone is coming."
Then, the boat rocked slightly.
The two of them looked at each other immediately, stood up, and slowly retreated to the door on the other side.
Yun Manyue spread out his arms and stood silently in front of her.
"Put on your clothes."
She silently pulled her outer garment around her body, folding it over her chest.
The bamboo curtain hanging in front of my eyes swayed slightly with the swaying of the boat, revealing a ray of night and water light from time to time.
Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed the bamboo curtain.
