my queen is a man

Ji Yu lay motionless in a pool of blood, and Li Keqing staggered to her side, carefully lifting her hair to check the wound.Ji Yu forcefully pushed his hand away, clutched his neck and stood up slowly, hunched over, with his head drooping deeply, his messy hair covering his face, gloomy like a ghost.

"Little Yu'er—" Li Keqing knelt on the ground, calling cautiously, poking her head to see Ji Yu's face.

Ji Yu was shaking and wanted to back away, and murmured: "Don't look at me - don't -"

"Little Yu'er—" Li Keqing panicked unspeakably, and hurriedly grabbed Ji Yu's arm.

On a cold day, time seems to be frozen at this moment, and no one wants to disturb them, except the wind.

A gust of wind blew away Ji Yu's hair, and on that blood-stained face, a pair of golden pupils shone with tears of despair, and there was a trace of coldness in that despair.

I gasped, those were not human eyes, they were demon eyes, what did that man do to Ji Yu? !

Ji Yu came to his senses, turned his head quickly, and pulled the cloak to cover his face.

When I turned my head, I saw that the wound on her neck had healed.

I think Li Keqing must have discovered all of this, but he didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, just looked at Ji Yu silently, his eyes were as gentle as water that I had never seen in anyone.

Thinking of Li Keqing's rebellious appearance when I first saw him, I couldn't help sobbing.

"Don't look at me!!" Probably feeling Li Keqing's gaze, Jiyu's angry voice was whimpering nasally, "Let go!"

"Don't say things that I would never agree with."

However, these words should not have moved Ji Yu, she covered her face in a frenzy and shouted: "Don't look at me!! I told you not to look at me!!" while struggling to escape from Li Keqing's restraint.

With a pop, the sound of a sharp knife piercing into flesh and blood suddenly made my heart tremble, and I couldn't help but tighten my clothes on my chest, watching the scene after the chaos gradually subsided.

"Don't look at me!! Don't look at me——" The scimitar in Ji Yu's hand pierced Li Keqing's left eye, and then immediately pulled it out and stabbed at his right eye.

Blood gushed out from Li Keqing's closed left eye, ran down his face, and stained his collar red.

All this happened so suddenly, Gu Yi and I stood aside, there was no time to step forward to stop it, and I just felt that my legs were shaking like chaff, and I was so limp that I could hardly stand up.

The tip of the knife stopped suddenly an inch away from her right eye. Li Keqing didn't resist or even blink, but she was still smiling, silently looking at Ji Yu and her knife.

Ji Yu tremblingly put down the hand holding the scimitar, and pushed hard, Li Keqing lost his support and fell to the ground.Gu Yi had already rushed to his side, picked up Li Keqing, and found that he had collapsed into a coma.

"Where are you going?" Gu Yi asked Ji Yu, who turned around and was about to leave.

Ji Yu's footsteps paused, and continued to walk towards the distance with hunched body and messy footsteps.Her cloak had already become dilapidated in the battle along the way, torn by the wind like a battle robe riddled with holes, and no one remembered its original brilliance.

This figure gradually disappears among the trees. There are no winners or losers, only the lonely and the sad.

Gu Yi carried Li Keqing on his back, and I followed behind in a daze. Everything that happened was like a nightmare like a thunderstorm, and all the accumulated bits and pieces of the tower of shelter from the wind collapsed and destroyed in an instant.I wanted to smile and continue to say innocuous witty words to adjust the atmosphere, but I found that the laughter I squeezed out was worse than crying, so I gave up.

About two or three days later, I blurred the concept of time, just staring at Gu Yi's two feet, I just went where he went.

We met the head of the Li family who came to look for us. Even a steady leader like him couldn't help being moved when he saw Li Keqing with a bandaged eye.

Li Keqing smiled indifferently, she used to always put on a bad face, but now she always smiles when she has nothing to do, her person is much softer, she can't guess what he is thinking, but that smile always looks a little distressed.

We temporarily lived in a courtyard of the Li family. There were several pear trees in the courtyard, and a stone table was placed under the tree.

"Your Majesty."

"Yes."

"Kneel down!" The patriarch suddenly shouted.

Li Keqing showed suspicion, but knelt down on one knee obediently.

"What is the purpose of your trip, do you remember?"

"Keep remember, look for an antidote for Gu Yi."

"Then what did you do! Leaving aside the fact that you were injured, you know who this person is now, but you didn't ask the Ji family to get rid of the Nuo ghost in time, and instead let that little--the patriarch of the Ji family mess around. It's your own fault!"

"But you know you're wrong." Li Keqing knelt down on both knees, "Please punish the patriarch."

"Hand over the Heaven Swallowing Seal."

"Yes." Li Keqing took out the jade seal from the skirt of his clothes and held it with both hands.

"Li Shi Keqing—" The head of the Li family stretched out his hand and paused the moment he took the jade seal, "From today onwards, I will be expelled from the Li family, life and death are up to me, and everything I do has nothing to do with my Li family .”

"Patriarch!" Gu Yi hurried forward, but was stopped by Li Keqing raising his hand.

"Patriarch." Li Keqing looked up with a smile, "If you really do this to punish me, I admit it, but I can't do it. If you have other plans, I can't do it. Nothing can make me Leaving Li's house, even if it is your order."

"The Li family is not a prison, you are destined to find something that belongs to you."

"The Li family is not a cage. I never believe in fate." Li Keqing repeated in a firm tone, stretching out her right hand, "I will punish myself with the same price, and I hope the patriarch will take it back."

Before that hand pierced Li Keqing's right eye, the head of the Li family stopped him in time.

"The patriarch?" Li Keqing's wrists were tightly bound, and he opened his eyes to look at the head of the Li family.

"Will you regret it?"

"never."

"If the fate can be broken, the prophecy can also be changed." The head of the Li family sighed softly and motioned Li Keqing to stand up.

"Before they are actually realized, all prophecies can be changed." Li Keqing replied.

The head of the Li family nodded, and gave up the topic, "Ke Qing, go and set up the exorcism formation, and order someone to fetch a jar."

"Yes."

It can be seen from the beginning that Li Keqing is the candidate that the patriarch is very fond of, but it is precisely because of his fancy that he wants to give him the opportunity to choose freely.

Li Keqing used black, white, red, yellow and green ropes to form a five-pointed star on the ground, and pressed a stone on each of the five corners, which were also five colors. Every time a stone was pressed, Li Keqing silently recited a mantra, and I listened with all ears, "Lin Bing Fighters are all marching forward in formation, trapped."

After doing all this, Li Keqing scratched his fingers, dripped nine drops of blood on each intersecting node, and read a word for each drop.

"Stand in." After finishing all this, Li Keqing said to me.

"Me?" Why did the topic suddenly turn to me?When I wondered if I was the protagonist.

"Besides you, who else can you exorcise?"

Oh yes, not to mention I forgot, there is still a big trouble in the back of my head, the head of the Li family is reliable, I don't want to become a roundworm.

I hurriedly stood in the middle of the exorcism formation, and the head of the Li family held a red-brown jar in his hand, and said to Li Keqing, "Stay by the formation."

"Yes." Li Keqing stood with his sword in his hand.

"sit down."

"Oh, oh." I quickly sat down cross-legged.

The patriarch walked up to me, with the mouth of the altar facing the back of my head, tore off a piece of his hair with one hand, wrapped it in a piece of yellow talisman paper, flicked his wrist, and the talisman paper ignited and threw it into the altar.Almost at the same time, the patriarch bit his finger, blood dripped on the flames in the altar, and I heard a slight sizzle.

This is the patriarch using himself as a bait. Just as I thought so, my head was suddenly pulled back, as if someone was pulling my hair and dragging me back.

"Ouch!" I cried out in pain, and the conditioned reflex reached out to hug the back of my head.

"Don't move!" the patriarch shouted sharply.

"Okay, okay—" I resisted and just raised my hands like this, feeling the pain of my scalp being pulled, it wouldn't just tear my scalp off like this.

I bent my back and asked me not to move, so I must not fall backwards. I just pulled with that force. How long will I last?I feel like my head is about to be torn in half.

"Are you ready?" I couldn't help asking.

The patriarch didn't have time to answer me, he was chanting spells over and over again.Finally, before I couldn't hold on any longer, the back of my head loosened, and I heard something fall into the jar with a thud, and I also rushed forward in inertia.

The patriarch immediately plugged the jar with a plug, and pasted Taoist symbols horizontally and vertically.Put it on the ground, make seals with both hands, and seal the altar with blood.

"Okay." The patriarch stood up carefully holding the jar, and handed it to another clansman next to him, "Take it into the nine-story pagoda."

The tribe left in response.

Doesn't it seem like a lot of trouble? Nine times out of ten, Jiyu did it on purpose. Next time he sees her, he must scold her severely.

However, we may never see her again.Until the end, I still couldn't tell whether she was an enemy or a friend, but Gu Yi was right, there is no such thing as an absolute friend or foe, we were partners who walked together before, and this relationship is enough.

"Thank you patriarch."

"You have also changed." The patriarch said to me.

"Me? Change? What change?"

The patriarch shook his head, "It's still early."

The patriarch's tone was exactly the same as that of the boy. What is the relationship between them, and what role should I play?All of this confuses me.
