Chapter 270: betrayal and separation
In the Capital of Gods, there is a two-story building in the Tianxuan Division.
Qing Xiaoyue sat by the stove, silently feeling the warmth, her eyes slightly lowered.
There were footsteps, and it was Qiuzhi walking over with a bowl of black concoction.
"This stuff is very bitter, be careful, or I'd better get you a piece of candy."
"What can be more painful than life and death?"
Qing Xiaoyue signaled her refusal, reached for the bowl of medicinal soup, and drank it into her belly.
The next moment, his brows trembled violently, frowning and then loosening several times, until they turned into hard sighs on his lips.
Qiu Qi didn't say anything and silently handed over a piece of candy.
Qing Xiaoyue took the medicine without expression, relieved the pain in her throat, and suddenly asked: "What do you think?"
Qiuzhi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand the meaning of this statement, and asked: "What do I want to think about?"
Qing Xiaoyue looked at him and said: "Tao Master."
"This matter..."
Qiuzhi said seriously: "First of all, we have to call him the Demon Lord."
Qing Xiaoyue said nothing.
Qiuzhi was a little flustered and helpless, and asked: "Don't you want the Taoist master to die? Why are you still talking to me about this? Do you think I have the guts to help the Taoist master secretly?"
"Well, even if I really have the courage, what can a nobody like me do?"
He sighed and said: "I'm not even qualified to be sucked into the whirlpool."
Qing Xiaoyue said calmly: "So you hope that Gu Zhuo can live?"
Qiuzhi was silent for a long time and said: "I..."
As soon as he spoke, his eyes subconsciously fell around the room, making sure that the doors and windows were tightly closed, and that the formation that blocked out the detection of spiritual consciousness was operating normally, and there were no flaws.
"I really hope Gu Zhuo can live."
Qiuzhi looked at Qing Xiaoyue and said with extreme helplessness: "After all, he is a great favor to me, but now His Majesty the Emperor wants him to die. What can an ant like me do?"
Qing Xiaoyue said: "You can be smarter."
Qiuzhi was slightly startled and asked uncertainly: "What do you mean?"
Qing Xiaoyue said calmly: "It is indeed His Majesty's wish to have Gu Zhuo die, but this matter is implemented by the Chief of Staff."
I still don’t understand when I seek knowledge.
Qing Xiaoyue said: "Gu Zhuo has never said that he is a Taoist master, but the fact that he is a Taoist master will not change. In this case, Your Majesty has every reason to take action."
"However, the fact is that Your Majesty did nothing, and it was done by someone else, and it was also the hand of the boss who had already fallen into trouble."
He looked at Qiuzhi quietly and said: "This proves that Gu Zhuo makes His Majesty fearful, even if his current state is not even unified."
Qiuzhi asked with a serious look: "What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry."
Qing Xiaoyue smiled, and there was no hint of sinisterness in her smile. She said gently: "I never thought about saving Gu Zhuo, but this matter can save you from feeling too much guilt."
Seek knowledge and understand.
Qing Xiaoyue said: "If things fail, then I will use my body to eliminate disasters for you. Your Majesty will eventually give me some face, but then you will have to go back to your old days."< br>
Qiuzhi looked at him with complicated eyes and asked seriously: "What exactly do you want to do?"
Qing Xiaoyue said calmly: "Kill someone."
Persistent in seeking knowledge, he asked: "Who?"
Qing Xiaoyue looked at him with interest, laughed out loud for no reason, and said: "Your enemy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Zhi understood everything.
Without thinking for too long, the young killer from Wuyou Mountain calmly and resolutely gave his answer.
"Okay."
……
……
After leaving the divine capital, Pei Jinge headed south.
The reason for heading south is very simple. In recent years, she has always stayed in the south because of the Destiny Sect.
Yu Sheng had no objection to this.
From beginning to end, neither of them ever mentioned looking for Gu Zhuo, as if this name had never appeared in their lives.
Until this moment.
"Do you know how I met him?"
Pei Jinge said without warning: "When I went to Wangjing because of Lin Wanyi, I saw him from a distance on the city tower winning thirteen holes in a row. I thought he looked like an old friend, so I thought of meeting him."
Yu Sheng said softly: "The old friend is not a dead person, the old friend's wind is the old friend."
A sigh full of emotion sounded on the boat.
"But who knew the world would be so bizarre back then?"
Pei Jinge said sadly, stretching out his hand and feeling the river water passing through his fingertips.
Yu Sheng remained silent.
Pei Jinge changed the subject for no reason and said: "After today, Your Majesty will become a real loner, but you can still be the eldest princess as long as you don't continue to stand on His Majesty's opposite side."
Yu Sheng looked at her without saying a word.
Pei Jinge was silent for a moment and said, "I'm not mocking or ridiculing you."
"I know."
Yu Sheng said calmly: "You think he is funny."
Pei Jinge asked seriously: "Isn't this funny?"
"Based on the year we first saw him, it has been three years since Wangjing, and three more years since then. In these six years, everyone he has been close to, and those who can help him now, are all standing here in Daqin. One side of the reason.”
"You are the eldest princess, and have been brothers and sisters with His Majesty for hundreds of years, while I am the future head of the Tianxian Division. All my interests are tied to Da Qin, and there is no reason to completely stand on his side, unless you want Da Qin to split. , or I can give up what I have earned over the past hundred years, but...how is this possible?”
"As for people like Qing Xiaoyue who have received his favor, they wanted him dead a hundred years ago, and they are even less likely to help him now."
"Then who else... Isn't Chen Chi a friend that even an ant can't count as a friend? I'm afraid I can't protect myself, so how can I help him?"
When he said these words, the corners of Pei Jinge's lips raised, but he couldn't hear any laughter.
She finally said sarcastically: "I don't know how he can live like this, with no relatives and enemies in the world."
Yu Sheng was quiet for a moment and said: "Perhaps he never thought of becoming his old self."
When Pei Jinge heard this, he suddenly laughed out loud and laughed at himself: "Maybe only idiots like Lin Wanyi will stand by his side now."
Yu Sheng looked at her quietly.
It is sarcasm and self-deprecation, but these are just superficial.
"Are you wondering why I'm so angry about him?"
Pei Jinge's tone suddenly became quiet.
Yu Sheng hummed.
Pei Jinge raised his head slightly and looked at the dark sky covered by snow clouds. After a moment of silence, he said, "Maybe it's because he and I used to be allies and had an ulterior secret relationship, so it's hard for me to accept that I was an accomplice. Such a stupid and idiotic person has personally created such a situation of betrayal and alienation for himself.”
……
……
It's cold and dew-heavy at night, and the most difficult thing is to rest.
Lin Wanyi didn't sleep well, and when he woke up, his mood was naturally bad. She buried her head between her knees, breathing the cold winter air carefully and slowly until her heart felt as if it were immersed in extremely cold ice water, and the remaining sleepiness disappeared.
Then she raised her head, as if she had just woken up, with a faint warm smile on her makeup that had not faded away.
"What time is it now?" Lin Wanyi asked.
Gu Zhuo told her.
Lin Wanyi listened to the whistling wind and snow outside the window, thinking that it was the darkest time before dawn, and that the noise in Yunlai Town had all dissipated, and it should be quiet at this time.
She looked at Gu Zhuo and asked warmly: "Do you want to take a rest?"
As she spoke, the girl took a casual look at the environment in the carriage and saw that the lights were extremely dim, leaving only a few threads.
It's hard to even see each other's faces clearly.
"That's good."
Gu Zhuo looked at Lin Wanyi who was still hugging his knees, thought for a moment, handed the wine bottle over again, and said, "Warm up?"
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Lin Wanyi was a little moved, but in the end he did not reach out to take the wine bottle. Instead, he used his true energy to drive away the chill that enveloped his body and said, "No need."
Gu Zhuo looked at her and suddenly asked: "Do you want to stretch your legs?"
"Yeah."
Lin Wanyi opened the corner of the car curtain and felt the sudden cold wind at night. He pointed to the top of the carriage, shook his head and said, "But it's inconvenient."
Gu Zhuo thought for a while and said, "What about going for a walk?"
Lin Wanyi's eyes widened and he lowered his voice and asked, "Is this okay?"
"Nothing is impossible."
Gu Zhuo said: "After all, it's dead of night now."
Lin Wanyi looked at him, her delicate brows slowly furrowed, and she said nothing.
Gu Zhuo was puzzled and asked: "What's wrong?"
Lin Wanyi subconsciously wanted to deny it, but after hesitating for a moment, he still felt that there was no need to hide it.
"If it were you in the past, the you who I first met in Wangjing City, when you said these words in the dead of night, I think you should be smiling, a gentle smile."
She paused, looked for an excuse, and said, "Maybe you are too tired today."
Gu Zhuo was silent for a moment and said, "I'm a little tired."
Lin Wanyi smiled slightly and said, "Then let's go out for a walk."
After saying this, she stood up and walked out of the car with her skirt in hand.
When passing by Gu Zhuo, the girl kicked his knee with her toes wrapped in white socks, and whispered: "Dawn is coming soon, and we don't have much time. We have to hurry up."
So the two of them opened the car curtain and stepped into the snowy night.
The horse leading the carriage has already been settled, and does not have to suffer the harsh cold. The surroundings are silent, but not completely dark. There are sparse firelights in the building not far away. It should be preparing to set sail tomorrow morning. caravan people.
Standing in the wind and snow, Lin Wanyi stretched seriously, but did not yawn.
The girl's beautiful figure is hidden under the thick cotton skirt, and there is no trace of curves, giving people a more youthful feeling.
The next moment, she turned her head to look at Gu Zhuo and asked, "Where are you going?"
Gu Zhuo didn't want to hear the roar of the river and said, "Don't go to the river."
Lin Wanyi thought that if she didn't go to the river to catch snow, then where else could she go?
She recalled for a moment to make sure she didn't hear the rumors about a curfew in Yunlai Town, and she had an idea.
The two of them walked side by side without holding an umbrella, letting the wind and snow pile on.
"Feeling..."
Lin Wanyi took a breath and said softly: "It's quite strange."
Gu Zhuo asked: "Because there is no sign of a large-scale search for me?"
Lin Wanyi nodded lightly and said: "The main reason is that I don't have the feeling of being the enemy of the whole world. I can't just run into the light and shout that the sect's master Gu Zhuo is here, right?"
Gu Zhuo didn't know what to say.
"Don't be angry, I don't think I'm playing house now."
Lin Wanyi said seriously: "I'm worried."
Gu Zhuo said: "Because it seems like a big conspiracy is being woven now?"
Lin Wanyi hummed.
"I don't know much about my mother's thoughts, but I'm pretty sure she was a cruel and ruthless person, because my father actually died in her hands."
When saying this, the girl's tone was particularly calm, even a little self-deprecating: "If she is in charge of dealing with you, then anything can happen."
Gu Zhuo said: "Then how do you think we can break the situation?"
Lin Wanyi suddenly asked: "Can you kill her?"
Gu Zhuo glanced at her.
"Just kidding..."
Lin Wanyi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Even if she kills my father, she is still my mother after all, and no one else can kill her."
Gu Zhuo asked: "You can only kill yourself if you want to kill me?"
Lin Wanyi's smile was still there, she hummed softly, and said calmly: "I think this is also a kind of filial piety."
Gu Zhuo was silent for a while and said: "I agree with you."
As they spoke, the two of them had already walked to the street.
The white snow was submerged in the night, and no trace could be found. The faint lights overflowing from the brothel in the distance became a real guide.
Yunlai Town has been prosperous for a long time, but there are only businessmen coming and going, and there is not much scenery to speak of.
Fortunately, a walk never requires a good view.
"How long do you think this peace can last?"
"Maybe at the moment of dawn."
"That's why you said you wanted to go out for a walk. After all, if you don't do it, it will be too late?"
"Probably."
"I hope there will be quiet moments like this in the future, but at that time I will never agree to go out for a walk with you again."
"Why?"
"I am going to write a book. The book will seriously describe my journey with you this time. The main theme is how to be savage and self-consoling when you are the enemy of the world, and how to cross the abyss with a calm heart. .”
"If it were a book, perhaps paper would be more expensive in the world."
"Hey, you have so much confidence in me?"
"The main reason is that I am more confident in my reputation."
"It's a very reasonable sentence, but it really makes people feel uncomfortable."
"This has always been the case."
"But aren't you and I living in reality right now?"
Lin Wanyi's rebuttal was very forceful, because the peace at this moment should not exist in the first place.
It's like there is an undercurrent surging silently in the surging tide, fighting against the general trend in a place invisible to the light of day, making everything slow down.
As long as the girl never speaks out to the world, this strange silence can be maintained until it breaks.
