It was cold back then

The evil wind was raging, the moonlight gradually dimmed, the dark clouds slowly gathered, and the sky and the earth soon became dim.

Several figures shuttled through the dense forest, turned their heads slightly, and were stepping on the two cuddling each other.

The shoulders suddenly sank, and the people around him completely lost their strength. Lan Xin froze, found a clearing and fell down.

There is a rushing river flowing beside her, Lan Xin recognized it for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "It's the Changhen River, it's not far from the pavilion, Pavilion Master... Pavilion Master?"

Fresh blood spewed out from the mouth, even though the night was thick, one could clearly see that the color of blood turned out to be jet black.

Pupils shrank sharply, Lan Xin said in shock: "Pavilion Master!"

Meng Qing closed her eyes and fell to the ground in an instant.

Feeling very anxious, Lan hurriedly helped her to the side and sat next to a tree, and taught her the exercises on the spot.

Like a bottomless pit, the true energy is continuously poured in, but the person has no reaction at all.

Behind him, the disciples quickly followed, and they all showed surprise when they saw this.

"Blue Hand Envoy!"

"How is the master?"

"It seems that the injury is not serious, can the blue palm envoy do anything?"

……

Lan Xin didn't say a word, she only focused on mobilizing the true energy in her body.

After a long time, I saw that pair of tightly closed eyes seemed to move, and found it effective, Lan Xin immediately raised her skill, trying to send her more true energy, but before it even started, a hand gently rested on her. on her wrist.

"Save your energy."

Her voice was extremely weak, and it seemed as if she had exhausted all her physical strength to speak these four short words from her mouth.

Seeing that she finally woke up, Lan Xin withdrew her hand and said with relief: "Pavilion master be patient, and I will be able to return to the pavilion in a moment."

Meng Qing didn't speak, and I don't know if she heard it.

The river is rushing, the sound of the water is very noisy at this moment, and the wind is blowing, making people feel cold.

The red dress was spread on the ground, the long black hair was messy, the forehead was wet, the sweat slid down the cheeks, and then fell into the dust from the chin, splashing up the dust mist that seemed to be nothing.

I have been with her for a long time, but I have never seen her like this, Lan Xin has mixed feelings, and at this moment she has no words, and just stands silently by the side.

The disciples didn't dare to speak without authorization, so they also went to the forest to rest for a while.

Not long after, the bright moon in the sky was completely covered by dark clouds, and then there were fine raindrops falling from the top of the clouds, one drop at a time, not dense, but it could not make people ignore the existence of this rain.

From time to time there was an icy cold touch on his face, and Meng Qing looked up at the night sky where there was no light at all, and felt as if it was raining in his heart.

He wanted to make up for it, so he promised her to take out the antidote and give up Zijin Pass, but unfortunately things backfired, and an accident happened after all, which disappointed her.

A lonely and resentful little face appeared in front of his eyes, the bright smile of the past was no longer there, only full of contempt and disgust, when he looked at her, his eyes were as sharp as knives, wishing to kill her alive cutting saw.

"Don't you, Meng Qing, know everything? Are there things in the Seven Star Pavilion that you don't know?"

"I gave you a chance! But you still lied to me!"

"Stop being hypocritical, I won't believe it!"

The raging fire scorched the heart and lungs, bringing boundless pain, which made people almost collapse.

Physical pain may be endured by gritting your teeth, but what about the pain in your heart?How to reduce it?

The man's words kept echoing in her mind, one word at a time, one after another, like densely packed thin needles, piercing fiercely in her heart, she couldn't breathe from the pain.

But...why does it hurt?Why has this pain never been experienced before?

Her breath suddenly became short of breath, and her breathing was uncontrollably suffocating. The air seemed to be thinning little by little. She couldn't help but groaned and groaned a few times. She moved her hand to the position of her heart, and firmly grasped the place with her five fingers. place.

"Pavilion Master?"

Sensing that something was wrong with her, Lan Xin hurriedly stepped forward: "What's the matter, Pavilion Master?"

"pain……"

It was the first time she heard her cry of pain, Lan Xin was slightly taken aback, and then asked, "Where does it hurt?"

The light was already dim, and the pouring long hair completely blocked that face, so I couldn't see her expression clearly, I could only see her pressing hard on her left heart, her arms trembling endlessly.

She didn't answer, just repeated: "It hurts..."

"It hurts..."

Lan Xin looked at her, then softened her voice and said, "But you were injured? This subordinate will show you."

Pulling her hands apart forcefully, the collar was lifted off her shoulders, where it was intact, except for a few pinched red finger prints, there was no wound.

Lan Xin sighed: "Pavilion Master..."

She straightened her clothes for her, and said with mixed feelings: "Let's go back first."

I don't know if it's because of the unbearable pain or something else, Meng Qing's whole body is shaking, and her face has unprecedented confusion.

Strange environment, strange emotions, the darkness is like a beast that has been dormant for a long time, watching with cold eyes.

The rain suddenly became faster.

The clothes became wet quietly, and the cold wind felt even more bitter, Lan Xin thought to herself that this was not the way to go, if she was drenched in the rain at night, she was afraid that her life would be even more in danger, so she put aside the difference between master and servant for the time being and stretched out her hand to hug her.

The usually inaccessible body exudes a strong aura, but at this moment it is unbelievably fragile in his arms.

A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and Lan Xin hugged her and stood up.

Limbs were limp and weak, unable to stand up straight, Meng Qing leaned on her body, her breathing was still disordered.

Just as she was about to jump into the air with her, a weak voice sounded beside her ear: "She is gone, will you go too?"

Lan Xin paused.

"Walk?"

Meng Qing rested her chin on her shoulder, and said in a particularly neutral tone, "You don't want to come to Seven Star Pavilion."

The faint words aroused old pain, Lan Xin was silent for a moment, and said softly: "My subordinates have always kept their promises. Since they were willing to come, they will not leave easily before the time comes."

"Keep your promise..." Meng Qing murmured, "What if you go back on your word?"

Hearing this, Lan Xin froze for a moment: "Will the Pavilion Master go back on what he says?"

There was no sound in my ears.

The two maintained a leaning posture, and neither of them spoke again.

After a long time, Meng Qing said softly: "No more."

Although it was an understatement, Lan Xin couldn't help showing a hint of joy: "If the last year comes, will the pavilion master really promise to let his subordinates go back?"

Her bloodless lips moved, and Meng Qing was about to reply when another voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere: "Of course she won't."

Hearing that familiar tone, Lan Xin's expression froze.

Looking sideways, I saw a young woman standing behind the two at some time, wearing a black brocade robe and a plain belt, her eyebrows were narrow and long like silk, and there was an inherent arrogance in her expression.

Seeing someone coming, Lan Xin frowned: "Didn't I let you stay at Duguan?"

Seeing the two of them cuddling each other, Xu Shi felt uncomfortable, Shi Yingrong snorted coldly: "I am the majestic Lord of Huayuefang, how can it be that she, Meng Qing, can do whatever she says?"

Without any warning, the person leaning on her body suddenly fell to the ground, Lan Xin was startled, and hurriedly bent down to catch it, but she didn't have time.

He fell heavily to the ground, his red clothes were scattered, Meng Qing's eyes were closed tightly, and he had already lost consciousness and passed out.

Seeing this situation, Shi Yingrong smiled contemptuously: "She Meng Qing also has today? It's really satisfying."

Lan Xin took off her outer shirt and covered Meng Qing, then turned her head and said, "It's you."

Shi Yingrong said calmly, "It's me."

Hearing her confession, Lan Xin couldn't help clenching her fists.

Meng Qing promised Qisang to let Zijin Pass out, and she did what she said. She arranged for her to move the guards and people of Zijin Pass out a few days ago, and she planned to leave an empty city for Yue Chuhan from the beginning to the end.

However, what I didn't expect was that Yue Chuhan and the others would be ambushed by Seven Star disciples who even she and Meng Qing didn't know about. It is not difficult to guess who the disciple is.

Lan Xin scolded: "You——you're fooling around!"

Although it was an expected reaction, Shi Yingrong was still puzzled: "Why are you protecting her? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hurt her severely, and I will never miss it for nothing!"

Lan Xin looked angry: "You know you did this, if she recovers in the future, what will happen to you!"

"It's nothing more than a dead end!" Shi Yingrong said angrily, "I'm no longer the person I used to be who was afraid of death. Since I want to take this step, I never thought about living! Even so, I don't have to die before I die." It will make her feel better, she will be buried with me no matter what!"

"Before she is buried with you, you are already a corpse!"

"What's the difference between me and a corpse now!" Shi Yingrong said angrily, "I'm alive, but I can't avenge my parents, and I have to bend down to be a dog under the threat of the enemy. not give a damn about!"

Lan Xin was furious: "Uncle and aunt were not killed by the pavilion master. Although she intended to take Hua Yuefang under his command, you know well what happened that day. She didn't start killing and robbing Hua Yuefang at that time. It's been a long time since the two law protectors teamed up to force my uncle to give up his position, and they were the ones who killed him! The pavilion master just took the opportunity to occupy Huayuefang, why did you put all these crimes on her head alone?"

Shi Yingrong said: "It is true that her parents were not killed by her. According to you, shouldn't I hate her for taking advantage of the opportunity to occupy Huayuefang? Under such circumstances, in order to make me surrender obediently, she not only took you away to restrain me, but also gave you poison. All of these things, which one was not her handwriting? Meng Qing? Don't take revenge on her , Who do you think I should go to!"

"What about the death of both parents? What about Huayuefang's downfall!" Shi Yingrong couldn't hide her anger, "I can bear all these, as long as she, Meng Qing, doesn't interfere, I can still be with you, and I can live a happy life. Well done, but she used her power to bully others and forced me to submit to the Seven Star Pavilion, which resulted in a notorious reputation. Now who mentions my teacher Yingrong and does not criticize it? It is all thanks to her!"

The past is like the wind, the surface has long gone, but it is always entrenched in the heart.

Every word was full of blood and tears, and she couldn't deny that she had something she hated. Lan Xin looked at her and said helplessly, "It's not that I don't understand you, and it's not that I'm protecting her." After a pause, "I just hope you Live well, don't want you to die..."

Shi Ying walked up to her, glanced at Meng Qing who was on the ground with disgust, and said coldly, "If you don't want me to die, then kill her first."

Lan Xin was stunned.

kill her?

Shi Yingrong's eyes were fierce: "You don't want to?"

She said in a persuasive manner: "If you do it now, you and I can become the masters of the Seven Star Pavilion. From now on, we will have the final say on the western region, so we don't have to be bullied by her anymore. I am different from her. I have no enmity with Biyun Villa , if I become the Lord of the Western Realm, I will naturally not have any struggles with the Eastern Realm, and the world will be able to return to the peaceful and happy scene when Meng Xiao was not dead."

"More importantly, in this way, we can be together openly, no one can stop us, and no one dares to stop us."

"But if you don't want to, I will definitely have a desperate duel with her after she recovers from her injuries. Can't you bear her to die, but also me?"

Lan Xin took a step back and said in pain, "No..."

"It's fine if you don't want to do it." A ball of brilliance condensed in the palm of the hand, and the murderous intent flashed out. Shi Yingrong moved his eyes and said, "I will do it myself. Killing the enemy is a great pleasure, and you don't need to do it for me."

The brilliance became more and more dazzling, with a turbulent true energy, just this one palm could end that person's life.

In a trance, Lan Xin pushed her in a timely manner and said in a panic, "No!"

Shi Yingrong lost her patience, and shouted: "You haven't listened to half of what I've said, don't you understand? Since I intend to kill her, I dared to destroy her before, it must be because someone behind me helped me. Hold on, what are you stubborn about!"

With the long sword drawn, Lan Xin stood in front of Meng Qing and insisted: "Of course I know who is helping you, but she has not been in the pavilion for many years, and it is only because of her identity that she can order disciples, do you think the pavilion master will not know? If you kill the pavilion master tonight, how can she spare your life in the future? You are the one who doesn't understand!"

Seeing her actions, Shi Yingrong felt a chill in her heart: "You want to fight me because of Meng Qing?"

"I said a long time ago that I will never agree with you to act like this!" Lan Xin frowned, "Besides, you heard it just now, as soon as the one-year period is over, she will let me go, don't dig yourself out grave!"

Shi Yingrong held back her anger: "Do you believe what a ruthless person like her says? You have seen what happened to that girl surnamed Yue who was tricked by her. I don't need to say more. Life will not be easy, are you going to be the second her!"

Lan Xin maintained the posture of holding the sword, and said solemnly: "You and that person are both responsible for the trouble that Miss Yue returned to Biyun Villa. If you and her hadn't designed an ambush for Yue Chuhan, how could things have come to this point? Pavilion Master Fan sincerely wants to give up Zijin Pass, so what does Miss Yue have to do with her? If you insist on doing this, if I become the second Miss Yue in the future, it will be your fault!"

Shi Yingrong gritted her teeth: "You——!"

After she finished speaking, as if she had made up her mind, the brilliance of her palms soared again, and she opened Lan Xin and attacked Meng Qing viciously.

In desperation, Lan Xin had no choice but to throw the long sword to block her blow.

Under the collision of the two phases, the long sword broke instantly. Even so, it still couldn't stop the remaining palm wind from hitting Meng Qing's chest impartially.

The person was still in a coma and didn't respond, but seeing that Meng Qing was still unconscious, bright red blood was spilling from his lips.

Now that the injury is so severe, and he was injured by her palm again, even if he recovers in the future, he may suffer from a whole body of problems.

Lan Xin didn't say any more, and grabbed Meng Qing from the ground with a flying body, turned around and swept towards the sky above the river.

How could Shi Yingrong give up, and immediately started to keep up with her. The two fought on the water surface for a while, then saw Lan Xin loosen Meng Qing suddenly and threw her into the river.

The night was as dark as ink, and the rain had already become fierce during these changes. The river was so fast, and there was no light at all. As soon as people fell, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Shi Yingrong was so angry that her eyes were about to burst: "Okay, very good!"

Lan Xin looked at her coldly: "You have to know, I am saving you."

"I think you are out of your mind!" Shi Yingrong was angrily, "If you let her go, she will kill me in the future. You are pushing me to my death!"

Lan Xin's face was particularly ugly: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Junior Sister!"

"What master of the western region, do you still want to dominate the western region?" Lan Xin said mercilessly, "That person has been away from the court for many years and has always lived in peace with Meng Qing, but now she suddenly provoked trouble to become an enemy of Meng Qing, she I was worried that the Qixing Pavilion would be occupied by Meng Qing for too long, and I would not be able to get back her hand, so I wanted to use this matter to declare war on Meng Qing, and if you choose to stand with her, you are a complete fool!"

Before Shi Yingrong could reply, she followed up and said, "Even if you join forces to overthrow Meng Qing, how can you be the master of the Western Realm? Before she ascends to the position of pavilion master, you and I People have already died without a place to bury them!"

Shi Yingrong said harshly: "If I can kill Meng Qing, I can naturally kill her too!"

"Why doesn't she think so!" Lan Xin tried her best to calm down the restlessness in her heart, and said in a neutral way: "If that's the case, then go and kill her."

Everyone was thrown into this river of eternal hatred by her, and there was nowhere to be found, so where else could she kill them?

Shi Ying was so angry that she couldn't speak.

With a flash of her figure, Lan Xin resolutely walked to the riverside and settled down, and said sideways: "Stop being obsessed with obsession."

After she finished speaking, she said loudly towards the dead forest: "Everyone, immediately search for the pavilion master's trace, if you don't bring the pavilion master safely, you don't even want to live!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw the disciples who had disappeared earlier came out in a file, and rushed towards the river at high speed.

Seeing that the matter was destroyed by her, Shi Yingrong felt unwilling, but she had no choice but to look at her and sneer: "If you are injured like that, you will be drowned if you are not beaten to death by me. Tonight is her fate. I can't help it." Do it, since you have the heart to protect her, then you are lucky that she will not die in the Changhen River, otherwise the murderer who killed the pavilion master will be you."

Lan Xin remained unmoved, and said flatly: "The pavilion master will not die."

Shi Yingrong just looked at her.

"I fed her a heart-protecting pill," Lan Xin said, "Although there will be backlash, living is the most important thing right now, so you should leave now."

Shi Yingrong finally said hoarsely: "You really want to turn against me for her!"

There was obvious sadness on her face, Lan Xin lowered her eyes, and said desolately: "I don't want you to die, you killed the Pavilion Master earlier, that person will kill you later, in fact, the Pavilion Master is not bad to me, in comparison, I hope you will stand on the side of the Pavilion Master to fight against her, now the situation is very clear, if you don't choose a good position, there will be no good results."

While Xu Xu was whispering, she suddenly hugged Shi Yingrong, and said in a trembling voice: "Senior Sister... just believe me this time, I don't want to see you being used by others, I want to be with you forever..."

This is a long lost hug.

Her eyes dimmed for a moment, and the anger in her chest was also extinguished. Shi Yingrong was silent for a while, and finally hugged her back.

"Xin, I'm sorry."

Hearing this, Lan Xin suddenly raised her head and looked at her.

Pushing away the person in her arms with both hands, Shi Yingrong looked difficult, and said sadly: "I understand your concerns, but I have no other choice."

She sighed: "The matter has come to this, Meng Qing will not let me go, I can't find any other way out except to join forces with that person."

The figure turned away and walked with its back turned, the brocade robe looked very heavy in the night.

Lan Xin subconsciously took a step towards her, but had to stop again.

The rain was pouring down at night, and there was a slight pain on the face when it was slapped. Shi Yingrong quickly disappeared into the airtight rain curtain.

The icy cold rain was washing down his cheeks recklessly, but for some reason, the icy coldness suddenly became twice as warm.

Heaven and earth have become more miserable.
