It was cold back then

I don't know which cliff it is, the cold wind is howling, accompanied by heavy rain, and the world is shrouded in darkness.

She stood on the edge of the cliff, her whole body was severely washed by the rain, and she trembled intermittently.

It seemed like he was waiting for someone, but he didn't know who he was waiting for.

There is unspeakable sadness in my heart, and the subtle pain spreads from my chest to my limbs, which is unbearable, but I don't know the source.

She stared blankly at the bottom of the unfathomable cliff, her legs and feet were a little uncontrollably soft.

Suddenly, a long sword with a cold light pierced towards her.

Passing through the heavy rain curtain, the tip of the sword flashed dazzling sparks, aiming at her heart with incomparable precision.

The man holding the sword has white hair and a white skirt, and his expression is colder than Xuanbing.

Her heart skipped a beat suddenly, she was terrified, but she stood motionless and did not dodge.

It seems that he has accepted his fate and does not want to escape any more. If he can pay back, then this sword is not unbearable.

The world seemed to slow down in an instant, and all the movements seemed to be in slow motion. It was so clear that one could see the splashes of raindrops hitting the blade of the sword, and also see the raindrops blown by the strong wind drifting into the pair of eyes full of hatred. covered eyes.

The sword tip struck in such a slow and long momentum, everything around became silent, no sound could be heard in the ears, only a deathly silence.

She closed her eyes lightly.

The next moment, as if a sharp weapon had pierced into flesh and blood, the sound exploded in the mind like thunder, making one's scalp numb.

But she doesn't feel pain...

Opening her eyes in surprise, there was a gorgeous red figure incompatible with this scene, standing right in front of her.

Black hair shawl, red skirt no longer fluttering, the familiar back lost its previous uprightness.

She was stunned in place, still unable to hear other sounds in her ears, only her own heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Hong Ying shook twice, and fell towards the edge of the cliff without warning.

Suddenly, overwhelming grief filled her heart, she hastily stretched out her hand to grab her, but she was unavoidably suspended in the air.

She held her hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"No...don't die..."

The man looked up at her, his beautiful face was pale with ashes.

Her voice was gentle.

"What I promised you, I did."

"Don't be afraid."

"Sonny..."

I don't know if it was tears or rain, blurring her vision, the strength in her hand quickly faded like a tide, and soon, the hand that was tightly held broke out of her palm uncontrollably.

He wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a sound between his lips and teeth. He could only watch the red shadow fall towards the bottom of the cliff.

The scenes changed, and the cliff that could not be seen to the bottom suddenly turned into an extremely dark river. Amidst the turbulent waves, the red shadow fell into it, startling the sky with splashes of water, and swallowing life in the blink of an eye.

"Do not--!"

The desperate roar resounded through the world, and the movement and stillness of everything came back to my ears.

Hearing her own voice, Qisang suddenly opened her eyes.

Her chest rose and fell violently, and her breathing was abnormally rapid. Her expression was still terrified, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

The sound of rushing water filled the surroundings, and she sat up from the ground in shock.

Surrounded by water, rippling with sporadic waves of light, the room was a little dark, except for a beam of light cast from the skylight above the head, which just encased her in it.

Like the Duxin Pavilion in the middle of the lake, she stayed alone in the pavilion, looking around blankly.

here is……?

"This is a water prison."

Behind him, a young man's voice sounded out of thin air.

Qi Sang sat blankly for a long time, and finally turned around.

Beside Xuanying's gate, Pei Lu looked at her from afar and squeezed out a smile: "Did you have a nightmare?"

The picture in the dream is still flashing in front of my eyes, and the pain in my heart has not yet subsided, Qi Sang touched her face and felt wet.

She raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears and nodded.

Pei Lu sighed very lightly: "I happened to pass by and heard you screaming in my dream, so I came over to take a look."

Losing strength, Qi Sangfu fell back to the ground, looking at the skylight above her head.

"Water prison?"

A trace of unbearableness flashed across Pei Lurou's face, and he said in a soft voice: "Everyone knows about the ambushes during the attack on Zijin Pass five days ago, not only in the village, but also other big factions think you are suspicious. Walking away, so after discussing, I temporarily sent you to the water dungeon."

After he finished speaking, he immediately explained: "It's not that I want to imprison you as a prisoner, but that the current situation is not good, and it's difficult for everyone to agree. If you are left outside safe and sound, it will inevitably attract rumors and gossip. You will be excluded and targeted by others, and this is also to protect you, understand?"

Qi Sang lay expressionless and didn't reply when she heard the words.

After a while, she asked, "I was in a coma for five days?"

Pei Lu said: "You don't know kung fu, and you don't have foundation. You were seriously injured. Fortunately, although you have been unconscious these days, you have been treated in time. But you should pay attention to it. Don't fluctuate too much, so as not to affect the recovery of the injury."

"Where is Zijin Pass?"

"It has been occupied by disciples in the village, and the situation is good."

"it is good."

In the bright light, the lively and cheerful girl in the past was too quiet. She obviously had a lot of thoughts on her mind, but she appeared very stable.

Unknowingly, she has undergone considerable changes.

Pei Lu sized her up and asked, "You don't want to ask anything else?"

"what?"

"For example... Chuhan?"

"Oh, what is she doing?"

Seeing the indifference on that pale little face, Pei Lu frowned, not knowing what he was sighing: "She has already retreated to practice Fengshenjue."

Qi Sang responded.

There was no more conversation in the room, only the sound of water lingered in my ears.

After being speechless for a while, Pei Lu turned around and said, "Then you have a good rest, I will come to see you later."

Qisang didn't respond.

With another heavy sigh, Pei Lu had nothing to say, and walked towards the door.

Just when he was about to go out, Qi Sang suddenly asked, "Where is the Seven Star Pavilion?"

The voice was calm and quiet, without any emotion.

Pei Lu looked sideways, and before he could answer, Qi Sang asked again: "Withdraw troops to give way to the city for no reason, and Qixing Pavilion has no follow-up actions?"

Pei Lu said: "No," he was quiet, and then said, "But there is something, do you want to hear it?"

Qi Sang moved her gaze to look at him: "What's the matter?"

Then I heard Pei Lu say: "A few days ago, there was news that Meng Qing accidentally drowned in the river on the way back to Qixing Pavilion after abandoning the city, and no one has been found so far. It may be more or less ominous."

Qi Sang was stunned.

Drowning in the river?

The red shadow swallowed by the boundless river in the dream quickly appeared in his mind.

She... accidentally drowned in the river?

Qi Sang secretly clenched her palms, tried to pretend to be calm and said: "Understood."

After hesitating again and again, Pei Lu finally couldn't help asking her: "Did Meng Qing order you to pursue Chuhan before?"

Qi Sang shook her head: "It has nothing to do with her."

"That is?"

"Don't ask, if I can't give you an answer, just treat me as a ghost, and I won't pester her again in the future."

"Meng Qing asked you to bring up the matter of water diversion?"

Qi Sang paused: "No, but diverting water doesn't seem to be a bad thing, what's wrong?"

Pei Ludao: "After all, after deciding to start water diversion, many accidents have happened so far. We will inevitably wonder whether this is also Meng Qing's trick. The diversion of water in the south is related to the lives of many people. If you don't ask clearly, everyone can't feel at ease. "

Qi Sang lay motionless: "I suggested it. Didn't Meng Qing send ghost hands to make trouble? It has nothing to do with her."

Pei Lu's face was heavy: "Sister Qisang, you..."

Realizing that he hesitated to speak, Qi Sang said quietly: "What about me?"

Pei Lu hesitated for a while, then asked suddenly: "Have you developed feelings for Meng Qing?"

Hearing his words, Qi Sang was taken aback: "What?"

"I will come to see you every day for the past five days," Pei Lu said with complicated eyes, "Although you haven't woken up, you will have nightmares every day, and you will always call someone's name in your dreams."

Since he asked the former question, there is no need to say more about the latter, whose name is already self-evident.

Qi Sang couldn't believe it: "Who did I call?"

Pei Lu didn't answer but asked instead: "Then who are you thinking about now?"

Subconsciously sneered, Qi Sang sneered, "Impossible, I hate her too late."

Pei Lu showed a clear look.

Uncomfortable by his eyes that seemed to see through everything, Qisang turned over and gave the order to evict the guest: "If you have nothing else to ask, you can go."

Pei Lu looked at her back: "Let's stay in this water prison for the time being, and you should take good care of your wounds. Don't think too much. If Uncle Yue's death has nothing to do with you, we won't wrong you. After Chuhan comes out, I will Take you somewhere else."

Qisang stared at the undulating water surface: "Where?"

"You will know when the time comes," Pei Lu said, "Although the Conferred God Art is top-secret, it is not difficult to learn. Chu Han is talented and intelligent. It shouldn't take long. We will talk about everything after she comes out. You should pay attention to rest."

After he said that, he stepped over the threshold and walked out, and the two gates were immediately closed by the guarding disciples in time.

The eyes were closed slightly, and there was a trace of sourness, the ground was filled with cold air, and the water prison was a bit cold.

Unexpectedly, five days passed in the blink of an eye, and Qi Sang felt very uncomfortable.

His eyes fell on the rippling water, but a lonely and earnest face appeared in front of his eyes.

She still gave up Zijinguan, so she did not break her promise, but why did she set up an ambush to attack Yue Chuhan in advance?Since the final result is still to give way to Guancheng, what's the point of a fierce battle between the two sides after the ambush?Wouldn't it be superfluous?

Meng Qing... what was he thinking?

The images of that night flooded into my mind one after another, and amidst thousands of thoughts, Qisang's heart suddenly moved.

"Seven Star Pavilion, in fact, I am not the only one who has the final say."

Recalling what Meng Qing said, she was a little dazed.

Could it be... what she said is true?Could someone order Qixing disciples without her consent, and secretly send people to ambush Yue Chuhan behind her back without her knowledge?

If she didn't lie to her this time, who would that person be?Besides Meng Qing, who else has such a big grudge against Yue Chuhan and wants to take this opportunity to deal with her?In addition, how did that person know about the siege?Could he be the same person who intercepted the letters?

All kinds of doubts floated up one after another, but Qisang couldn't figure it out even though she was thinking about it.

The only thing that was a little certain was that Meng Qing might not have lied to her.

He had already lied to her many times, not to mention the two of them had already torn their skins apart, Meng Qing would not care whether she believed her or not if she really wanted to lie to her, but that night, she clearly hoped that Qisang would believe her.

But what if those longings are also fake?In case she is still lying to her, the fact that there is no movement in Qixing Pavilion now does not mean that there will be no future. What a loss it would be to lose Zijinguan, is she really willing?

Besides, Pei Lu said before that she has disappeared now, and it is unknown whether she is alive or dead. Then, did she really accidentally drown or take the opportunity to disappear and want to make trouble again?

She is a liar by nature and deceived her many times. Even after careful analysis, Qi Sang still has doubts about her.

Suspicion has arisen, and it will not be so easy to eliminate in the future.

Can be eliminated or not, what does it matter?

Exhausted physically and mentally, and irritated in her heart, she didn't open her eyes for a long time, and fell asleep again not long after.

……

After the rain, the sky cleared and the sky was clear. Under the floating clouds, among the green hills, there were low huts hidden behind the dense forest.

Cooking smoke rose slowly, the farmhouse was quiet, and the aroma of food coming out of the house was mixed with a smell of medicine that could not be ignored.

With a sound of "squeak", the door was gently pushed open, and a woman in plain clothes entered the small courtyard with a bamboo basket on her back.

The sweat on her face was still wet, she went to the well to wash her face, and quenched her thirst with the water from the well. Just as she was about to put down the bamboo basket to rest, she saw a man of similar age coming out of the room.

"Aying, are you back?"

With an exceptionally sweet smile, Ah Ying nodded: "Today's harvest is not small, I picked a lot of herbs, just in time for use."

The man took a look at the bamboo basket, raised his chin slightly: "I'll clean it up, you go and see that one."

Ah Ying immediately showed surprise: "Are you awake?"

The man said: "I woke up for a while, but I dare not talk to her. Since you are back, go ask her."

Ah Ying looked towards the kitchen: "Where's the medicine?"

"It's ready, you can take it over."

"Okay, you sort out these herbs first."

After the conversation, Ah Ying went to the stove to fill up the boiled medicinal soup, and finally went to the room on the second floor.

The small bamboo window was not closed, and a young woman could be seen lying on the bamboo couch in the room under the half cover.

The red dress is like mist and sunset, very beautiful, but it makes that unique face look bloodless, especially when her eyes are closed, making people worry about whether she is still alive.

Knocking on the door lightly, Ah Ying said in a low voice: "Pavilion Master, the servant has come in."

After all, she entered the room without waiting for a response.

The smell of medicine came to the nostrils, maybe it was too pungent, the person on the bamboo couch frowned and looked disgusted.

Seeing this, Ah Ying smiled, and stretched out her hand to help her up: "The good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease. I have been drinking it for so many days. The Pavilion Master just bear with it."

The sunlight slantly reflected in the house through the window, and it rained heavily for five days in a row. Seeing the warm sunshine suddenly felt like a world away.

Meng Qing leaned against the head of the bed, holding her breath and drank the bowl of bitter medicinal soup in one gulp.

Ah Ying immediately brought tea for her to rinse her mouth.

"Pavilion master, is he hungry? This servant will bring you something to eat."

With a splitting headache and no comfortable place in his body, Meng Qing waved his hands with difficulty: "No need."

Ah Ying hesitated: "How can this be done? You haven't taken anything but medicine and water for the past five days. How can your body take it?"

He was seriously injured, his life was in danger, and even breathing was extremely difficult. Meng Qing closed his eyes and said hoarsely, "How did you find me?"

Ah Ying said respectfully: "It rained heavily a few days ago, and many fish rushed out of the river. My husband and I braved the rain to collect them. We saw you by the river and brought you back," she said. At this point, his expression became a little impressive, "My family has no other skills. He used to be in the fishing village of Duguan Customs. He fished pretty well. After leaving the pavilion, I followed him back to the Western Realm, where he was on the Changhen River. Settled down."

Meng Qingfu opened his eyes and looked at her again: "Are you married?"

Aying smiled slightly: "I got married not long after I left the pavilion, and I would like to thank the pavilion master for not killing you that day. If it weren't for your noble hand, how could Aying have such a peaceful life now?"

With an empty heart, Meng Qing was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "Don't thank me, just thank her."

Ah Ying quickly realized: "Miss Yue?"

"Ah."

"That's right, for destroying Miss Yue's painting, the pavilion master didn't punish the slaves because of Miss Yue's face. If there is a chance to meet her in the future, I should thank her very much."

Mentioning Qisang, Meng Qing's expression darkened, and he didn't speak any more.

"I heard from the villagers that Zijin Pass was captured by Biyun Villa. These days you wake up from time to time when you are sleeping. This servant has the guts to ask, did you get injured because of Biyun Villa's siege?"

Meng Qing responded.

Ah Ying showed regret: "It's such a serious injury, and the city has not been defended. It's a pity." After she finished speaking, she laughed again. Now that you’re awake, I’d better inform Lan Zhang, after all, there’s Mr. Yao Wang in the pavilion, and he’ll do his best to heal you, not to mention there’s Miss Yue taking care of you, right?”

A figure from the back who decided to leave suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and Meng Qing's expression was a bit lonely.

"No, she's gone."

Ah Ying was taken aback: "Going away?" After a pause, "Are you kidnapped by Biyun Villa?"

She is a maid, not an insider, and she only asked this question out of concern for Qisang, but Meng Qing didn't know how to answer it.

After all, she seemed to be the one who had been hijacking her.

But if you don't do that, how can you keep people by your side?

Xu Shi saw her depression, and Ah Ying smiled and said: "It's okay, the pavilion master is so powerful, why don't you just snatch Miss Yue back? I don't think anyone in Biyun Villa can beat you!"

Take it back?Meng Qing raised her eyes: "I can't get it back."

"why?"

"If she refuses to come back, it's useless for me to snatch her away. It will only make her unhappy."

Ah Ying tilted her head: "But don't you have a relationship with Miss Yue? How could she not want to come back?"

This girl is a lot more courageous than before after leaving Qixing Pavilion, Meng Qing said lightly: "You talk a lot today."

Aying scratched her head and smiled: "It may be because the Pavilion Master was injured. I used to think that you are high above and unapproachable, but now you are very kind. It's the slaves who talk too much, so don't blame the Pavilion Master."

Meng Qing let out a long breath, and said calmly: "What are you to blame, you saved me."

Ah Ying hurriedly replied: "I dare not save you. Although the servant girl has left the pavilion, she still regards herself as a seven-star maidservant. This is also her duty." She stood up as she spoke, "You should rest first. , I will write a letter to the Blue Palm Envoy."

There was nothing wrong with what she said, but after hearing this, Meng Qing cast an extremely cold look at her.

The long eyelashes moved slightly, and those beautiful eyes shone with a dangerous glint.

Aying was taken aback, and froze on the spot, not daring to move.

Just as she was wondering if she had said something wrong, she suddenly heard Meng Qing say, "You dare to come to see me."

The tone was low, exuding a murderous air, which made one's heart palpitate.

It's just that she didn't seem to be saying this to herself... Ah Ying didn't dare to show her anger, and raised her eyes to observe her expression tremblingly, only to realize in a panic that her eyes didn't fall on her, but looked over her face. She looked away.

Carefully turning back, he saw a person standing at the wide open door at some point.

Against the bright light outside, the man was wearing an unusually large cloak, covering his entire body tightly, so he couldn't see his face or figure clearly, only the half of the toe of the shoe exposed from the hem of the cloak.

Ah Ying couldn't help but take a second look carefully.

The sole is thin and soft, and the upper is embroidered with stretched cloud patterns. Judging from the size, this person should be a woman.

She was looking at it secretly, when she suddenly saw that the cloak moved suddenly, and then a cold long sword stretched out from the cloak, pointing directly at her.

"Why don't you get out?"

Feeling terrified, Ah Ying hurriedly buried her head and fled through the door in a panic.

-------------Mini Theater Warning---------------------

[These chapters seem to be a bit cruel. In order to ease everyone's mood, I wrote a small theater on the spur of the moment, so I can watch it. 】

*The post-marriage interview in a small theater*

Xixihe: "Welcome everyone to watch this show. I am the host Xixihe. Today we are very honored to have invited two distinguished guests who have attracted much attention. Next, let us invite them out with warm applause!"

(Cheers and applause rang out)

Qi Sang: "Good evening!"

Meng Qing: "Good evening."

Hee Hee: "Ahaha, it's great that the two of you can take time out of your busy schedules to come to our show. I heard that you two have been married for three months. Our readers and friends really want to know. , whose family status is the highest?"

Qi Sang (excited): "I'm the boss! Listen to me!"

Meng Qing (petty): "Naturally, I will listen to what Sonny says."

Hee Hee: "Oh, yo, show your love on the spot, the pavilion master really dotes on his wife! Then, I would like to ask you two, who chased whom when they were in love?"

Qi Sang (loudly): "The Lord of the Dog Pavilion chased me!"

Meng Qing (satisfied): "It's the best if you catch it yourself, don't pay attention to it."

Xixihe: "As we all know, since the serialization, the reputation of the Pavilion Master's shocking vinegar jar has been spread outside the world. I wonder if you, the Pavilion Master, have heard of it?"

Meng Qing (raising eyebrows): "What kind of jealous jar? This pavilion master is never jealous."

(There was a burst of boos immediately)

Meng Qing (squinting her eyes): "The swordsmanship has improved recently, it seems that you want to learn from it?"

Hee Hee: "That's not necessary! Come on, let's change the subject... Ah, I heard that on the day of the two big weddings, the owner Yue Xiao gave an extremely valuable gift. Can you share with readers and friends what kind of treasure you gave? ?”

Meng Qing (proudly): "I asked someone to throw it away before it was delivered to the door. Anyone can give a gift, but she can't."

(Viewer OS: He also said that he is not jealous!)

Hee Hee (laughing dryly): "Hahahahaha everyone understands, just now the pavilion master said that his swordsmanship has improved, can you show off his skills and dance two moves on the spot, so that readers and friends can open their eyes?"

Meng Qing (stands still): "No one deserves to see me dance sword except Sang'er." After finishing speaking, he got up again, begrudgingly, "But for the sake of so many people coming today, let's show it off for the time being." Both hands."

(a look of anticipation)

Qi Sang (confused): "Is your injury healed? Are you able to dance sword?"

Meng Qing (pauses, then quickly staggers a few steps): "Ah, when you say that, my head hurts."

Qi Sang (concerned): "I'll rub it for you."

Meng Qing (with a happy face): "I want to kiss you."

Qi Sang (blushing): "There are so many people here, don't make trouble."

Meng Qing (Youzai Youzai): "What are you afraid of, why don't you goug out their eyes?"

(The audience flees the scene instantly)

Qi Sang (dissatisfied): "Look at you! You scared everyone away!"

Meng Qing (with lips raised): "If they don't come back, I'll cut off their hands and feet too."

(The audience rushed back in a hurry)

Xixihe (hidden from the audience): "Then I will ask you two a question that attracts the most attention from readers! Excuse me! Well... After marriage, what can a husband and wife do? about it?"

(The audience's eyes light up immediately)

Qi Sang (naive): "Huh?"

Meng Qing (covering Qisang's ears): "Of course I did everything that should be done."

(The studio erupts in unprecedented applause)

Hee Hee: "Then I will ask the Pavilion Master again! About the attack..."

Meng Qing (interrupted in time): "What do you think?"

(Ah ah ah ah ah ah!)

Meng Qing (with a slight smile): "When you ask such a question, do you seem to have doubts about the ability of the pavilion master?"

(The audience said: We don't have this idea!)

(The host Xixihe exits the studio)

Qi Sang (in a daze): "What are you talking about?"

Meng Qing (holding Qisang up by the waist): "Let's go home."

"I haven't finished recording yet, so I'm leaving?"

"If I don't go, how about my ability to perform live?"

Qi Sang (wrinkling her eyebrows): "I can't understand a single word."

Meng Qing smiled and said nothing, and the two of them flew up into the sky, only to see a dazzling red light bloom, and the roof of the studio was torn apart and turned into a piece of dust, and the two of them disappeared into the daylight in an instant.

(Director: I don’t need money for my shed!)

(Audience: Then do you have the ability to make the Pavilion Master pay for it!)

The author has something to say:
