[Lu Xiaofeng Sword III] The Emei faction is playing a big game of chess

Lu Xiaofeng told her to go to Huamanlou when she was in a bad mood, so Ye Zhiran really obediently ran to her brother-in-law with a pot of wine.

The wooden carved door was wide open, and the man in a brown brocade suit and Shi Xiuyun were sitting at the round table in the living room, with a gentle smile on their lips, they turned their heads slightly and listened to what the girl beside them was saying.When he heard footsteps coming in, he slightly raised his head to "look" at the door.

A girl in a long pink dress walked in with a jug of wine and two wine glasses.As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to sit down opposite them, put down the jug, and poured wine.

"Fourth Senior Sister, brother-in-law will lend me for a while."

The fourth senior sister Shi Xiuyun, who is still small and still looks like 1i, waved her hand grandly, "Take it. Just remember to return it."

"Yes." Ye Zhiran nodded solemnly, "I promise to return it tomorrow!"

So Shi Xiuyun patted Hua Manlou on the shoulder, and said seriously, "Stay with my junior sister!" Then she stood up calmly and walked out, closing the door behind her before leaving.

The two girls successfully completed the handover of Hua Qigong.Hua Manlou shook his head slightly, dumbfounded, with a helpless expression on his face.Only when she heard Ye Zhiran's extremely smooth "brother-in-law", she looked a little embarrassed.

"Hey." Ye Zhiran stretched out a hand to push a glass of wine, and took a drink with the other hand.The small wine glass bottomed out, she supported the forehead with one hand, picked up the jug and continued to pour the wine, raised her eyes and said lightly, "Seventh brother, come chat with me."

Ye Zhiran seldom calls him Seventh Brother, but most of them call him "Hua Hua" with a hint of joking, or "brother-in-law" on purpose.

Regarding this point, Hua Manlou had no choice but to correct it, but at that time a certain girl's expression was very innocent.

"Huahua, we've known each other for so long, and with the relationship between you and my fourth senior sister, it's more common to call 'Hua Man Lou' or 'Hua Boy'!"

Well, at that time a certain man in Tsing Yi jumped out and interjected, "Then you keep calling me 'Lu Xiaofeng', why don't you feel strange when I don't see you?"

As for this, Ye Zhiran's answer was, "I feel like I'm out of touch! In fact, I've always wanted to learn from Sikong Zhaixing and call you 'Lu Xiaoji'. Look at how affectionate this name is!"

So Lu Xiaofeng shut up.

Finally, Hua Manlou told her, "You can call me Seventh Brother."

But Ye Zhiran didn't know if she thought it was fun or what, she always insisted on her original address.This was the first time she called him that, and Hua Manlou keenly noticed that the aura around the girl opposite was a little depressed and a little dazed.

He put down his wine glass, his voice was soft and soothing, "Well, what would Zhiran want to talk about?"

When Lu Xiaofeng rushed in with a cloth bag in a hurry, he saw Ye Zhiran lying on the table, his eyes were a little confused.The wine glass in her hand was empty, and the wine jug on the table had bottomed out.Hua Manlou, who was sitting across from her, was still drinking in the wine glass, with his slender fingers covering the table, looking down at her, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.

Hearing the door panel slamming against the wall and making a loud "pop", both of them seemed to be stunned, and collectively turned their eyes to the door.

"Hmm..." Ye Zhiran blinked, looking at the man in Tsing Yi who kicked in the door, with a dazed look on her face.Who can tell her what is going on with Lu Xiaofeng's posture of breaking the door and catching rape?Did he go to the wrong set? !

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the empty wine glass on the table, Hua Manlou who was sitting by the table with an unclear expression, and Ye Zhiran who was lying on the table with two blush on the side and looked up at him in a daze, seemed to be in a daze too.Then he reacted immediately and grabbed the girl in pink by the hand.

"Hurry up, Zhiran, come with me!"

The wine he drank just now boiled in his blood, and his brain's reaction was a bit slow. Ye Zhiran was slow for a moment, and was dragged by him for several steps before slowly reacting.

"What happened?" Miss Ye was at a loss.

Lu Xiaofeng dragged her towards the door in big strides, and said without looking back, "Something happened to Ye Gucheng!"

In the dark and damp room, a lamp was like a bean, illuminating a small space beside the bed.The dust on the walls and the cobwebs on the roof all made this dilapidated room even more empty and lonely, with its walls desolate.

A man in white was reclining on a cold and hard wooden bed, his satin-like long black hair slid down his side, under the dim light, his eyelashes were as long and thick as crow feathers, under the eyelids Casting a small shadow, covering his now darker eyes.

The night was getting deeper, but the man on the bed didn't feel sleepy at all. He was waiting for someone, someone who was about to be lured by his subordinates, who might be called his friend.

Ye Gucheng has never had any friends, and he doesn't need such a thing.It's just that after a certain little girl broke into his world with a stunning sword dance, the icy wasteland slowly began to take on other colors, and perhaps, my friend was one of them.

His eyes swept over this desolate and dilapidated room, the light beside the bed was dim, and the rough and uneven floor was covered with large shadows.The sycamore trees outside the window were rattling by the wind, and this "rustling" sound made this autumn night look even more desolate and desolate.His eyes fell on the spider web in the corner. A black spider was lying in the center of the web, quietly waiting for the prey to arrive.The entire capital city is now like this net. He is the one who weaves the net, and he is already in the net now.

After more than ten years of planning, everything is ready now, only one step away from the promise he made before the spirit of his parents.This was the closest he was to that goal in so many years, but he didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart at this time, and he didn't even feel the ease of fulfilling the promise.

The cold air outside the house penetrated into the house along the cracks of the windows that could not be closed, and the whole room was filled with a cold air that could not be dissipated.Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City who was born noble and noble, has never lived in such a dilapidated room. His eyes swept over the lacquered wooden table, the potholed ground, and the walls covered with dust. There was a trace of boredom, but the resistance of Prince Nan was still so childish.This is probably the only thing this father and son will have in their life...

It seems that he has been very busy since he was born, learning swords, practicing swords, managing Baiyun City, and then planning the conspiracy that is destined to shake the whole world.Now that everything has been arranged, he just waits for the prey to enter the net, and he is rarely free to think about other things.

Then, he thought of Ye Zhiran.

His life, step by step, was planned and arranged, tightly fitting, and precisely under his control.Ye Zhiran's intrusion was an accident. Out of an inexplicable emotion, he condoned the accident and allowed her to invade his life bit by bit. Now this accident has become the most uncontrollable part of his plan. factors, but he has no regrets.For him, this is really an incredible thing.

"I hate treason! I hate it the most!"

The words she said that day were still in her ears, Ye Gucheng lowered his eyes lightly, and the corners of his lips curled into an inexplicable arc.So, how do you deal with the current situation?Zhiran...the only wife he recognized.

The sycamore tree outside the window was still swaying, and there was a sound of wind passing by the window. Ye Gucheng suddenly raised his eyes, and shot his eyes sharply at the door, and pressed the hilt of the sword beside the bed with one hand.A wisp of faint fragrance came in through the crack of the door, and the man in white seemed to be slightly startled, and then his eyes gradually softened.

The door of the room was opened with a "squeak", and a man in green clothes walked in with a smile, "Master Ye, it's really hard to find your place."

Ye Gucheng didn't look at him, his eyes fell behind him, looking at the slender figure that had disappeared for nearly two months, without moving a bit.

Lu Xiaofeng touched his nose, and obediently moved aside.

The evening wind blowing into the room swept a few strands of long black hair, and the girl in a pink dress stood at the door, her long hair was a little messed up by the wind.The long tassels on the hilt at the waist made the sound of jade and stone colliding in the wind, crisp and ethereal.

Ye Gucheng looked at the girl outside the door, and slowly stretched out his hand, "Come here."

Ye Zhiran stood at the door without moving. She leaned on the door frame and stared at him blankly, her eyes a little confused.The thin red on the cheeks has not faded, the pink lips are slightly pursed, the expression on the face is a little dazed, a little wronged, like a child who has been bullied outside, it makes people feel very distressed.

Distressed emotions would never have appeared in an existence like Ye Gucheng, but we must know that no matter how cold a man is, he will be different when facing the girl he likes.

The man who didn't get a response unconsciously frowned slightly, and then lightly shifted his gaze to... Lu Xiaofeng who was standing aside.

"..." What does that look in your eyes mean!I swear that Jubi didn't bully your sister, bastard!

Under the gaze of someone so cold that it could freeze to death, a certain chicken exploded in an instant.

Ye Zhiran frowned, took a few steps forward, pulled Ye Gucheng's hand off, grabbed his pulse with one hand, and interrupted the "affectionate gaze" between the two of them.Lu Xiaofeng finally remembered the business, walked over with big strides and bent down, "How about it? The poison of the Lord Ye..."

The girl in pink lowered her head and said nothing, Ye Gucheng looked at her quietly with lowered eyes, her eyes were also calm.It seemed that Lu Xiaofeng was the only one in the room who looked anxious.

After a long time, Ye Zhiran's finger on Ye Gucheng's wrist finally moved. Lu Xiaofeng looked over hopefully, and then he saw the girl in pink raise her head and look into his eyes, "I can't cure this poison." .”

It is non-toxic, of course it cannot be solved.

Lu Xiaofeng has already left.He said that he didn't believe that there was an incurable poison in the world, even if Ye Zhiran couldn't cure it, Ximen Chuuxue might have a solution.So, he went out to find Ximen Chuuxue, on this cold night, which was so windy and cold that one almost thought it had entered winter.Lu Xiaofeng is actually a very good friend, so Ye Zhiran feels quite sorry for him.

The girl in pink sat on the side of the bed in silence for a long time, then suddenly threw herself into the arms of the man in white on the bed, and buried her head on his chest.Ye Gucheng's hand paused for a moment, then slowly wrapped it around her waist, and stroked her long jet-black satin-like hair with the other hand.A faint scent of wine escaped from the body of the girl in her arms.Ye Gucheng frowned slightly, it seemed that the scent that was just blown in by the wind was not an illusion.she drank...

The silky and silky long hair slipped from between the fingers, and the sword fairy in white who was leaning against the bed and holding the girl's slender waist in his arms in his arms faintly drooped, and the pool-like depths of his eyes gradually raised waves.In addition to the moment when she entered the door just now, this is probably the first time in Baiyun City Lord's life that he knows what it feels like to be distressed.

"Ye Gucheng."

"Ah."

"Ye Gucheng."

"Ah."

"Ye Gucheng..."

Ye Zhiran leaned against his chest, surrounded by his clear and pleasant breath, she bit her lip, she wanted to say a lot, but she couldn't say a word.There are things she knows, and he knows she knows.But they can only go on vaguely like this, this layer of paper is not yet ready to be pierced.

But she was really wronged and depressed in her heart.She really wanted to say that she was just in a relationship, so why bother with the morals of the world, the important affairs of the family and the country!

Is it true that every Qixiu girl has such a difficult love life?

"Ye Gucheng..." The girl's voice choked for a moment, and then said angrily, "You bastard!"

The man in white paused for a moment, then gently rubbed her heart.The expression in the black eyes was soft, mixed with a faint sigh.

Didn't hear his answer, the girl in pink rubbed against his arms, then raised her head and looked at him steadily.

The pale yellow candlelight illuminated his side face. In the semi-darkness of the lights, the eyelashes of the white-clothed sword fairy drooped, and his eyes were like the stars in the midnight sky, which was terrifyingly beautiful.

A surge of anger suddenly surged in her heart. She wronged herself for tossing and tossing for so long. She entered dangerous situations several times and even lost the mission rewards.

This man is hers!Must be hers!

Miss Ye was angry from her gallbladder, and her brain, which was a little dizzy from the impact of alcohol, quickly gave an order.Then she did something she would never dare to do in a waking state.

She learned from her revolutionary martyr, Comrade Zhao Min!

Um, don't you understand?Well, to describe it in words... Miss Ye Zhiran directly pulled off the hand of the man next to her, and bit his wrist hard.

Ye Gucheng's left hand trembled slightly, and he lowered his head to look at the little girl who was grinding her teeth with his left wrist, a trace of helplessness flashed across his black jade-like eyes.

Stretching out his hand to touch her head, the man in white seemed to sigh slightly, and then silently condoned her behavior.

The soft tongue licked the blood stains overflowing from the tooth marks.Ye Zhiran stared at the conspicuous teeth marks on her white wrist, thought for a while, then raised her head.

"Shall I sprinkle some bone-biting powder on it?"

"..."

Explanation of nouns—bone-eating powder, a kind of poison, although not very toxic, has a characteristic that it can destroy the regeneration ability of the skin around the wound.Has a weak paralyzing effect.Sometimes it is used as a numbness powder by informal Jianghu people. Of course, because it is a high-end poison, very few people can use it in this way.

In other words, if the wound in Ye Gucheng's hand really caused Ye Zhiran's sister to sprinkle bone-biting powder on it, although it wouldn't hurt, but this tooth mark, it probably won't disappear forever...

The man in white looked down at the girl in his arms, blinking those big black crystal-like beautiful eyes and looking at him, and the candlelight reflected a little bit of light in her eyes.His eyelashes trembled, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips, and a cool and pleasant voice sounded in Ye Zhiran's ear, "As you wish."

Forgive Ye Zhiran, whose nerves have been corroded by alcohol, she was stunned for a long time before she realized it.He muttered in a low voice, "A man with such a nice voice is totally cheating...", looked down at the conspicuous tooth marks on Ye Gucheng's wrist, hesitated for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, and took out a silk scarf to wrap it up.

Forget it, a tooth mark or something appeared on the hand of the sword fairy Ye Gucheng, it's too ruined the image!

Ye Gucheng lowered his eyes and looked silently at the wound on the wrist being carefully wound by the girl in pink, and then watched her raise her head and solemnly pointed to the wound and said to herself, "I stamped the wound." so it's mine!"

Ye Gucheng was silent for a while, "What is 'stamping'?"

"Just to leave a mark on you, lest you forget me in the future!"

The girl in pink spoke very seriously. After finishing speaking, she held his face in one hand, looked into his eyes, "Listen, don't forget me in the future!"

With tender fingers resting on the side of his face, the girl opposite was staring at him with eyes as bright as stars.Ye Gucheng and her stared at each other silently for a while, the corners of their lips slightly raised, "Okay."

"you swear!"

"I swear."

So, the pink-clothed girl nodded in satisfaction, raised her hand and yawned gracefully, then simply lay down on him and fell asleep...

She is really relieved... Ye Gucheng's slender fingers played with a strand of long hair that fell from the shoulder of the girl in his arms, and lowered his eyes quietly.His gaze swept around the room indifferently, and finally landed on the spider web in the corner.

The cold wind outside the window blew in through the cracks in the window, and the faint candle flickered slightly.Ye Gucheng's eyes fixed on a corner of the room, and the color of his eyes gradually darkened.

There seemed to be a faint sigh in the quiet room.Ye Gucheng gently put the girl in his arms on the bed, brushed her slender and clean fingers over her forehead, the corners of her eyes, and slid down her side face.The man in white said lightly, "Come in."

A black shadow rushed in from the door like a ray of breeze without making a sound.

"Tomorrow...keep an eye on Prince Nan."

"Yes!" The man in black bowed his head respectfully and replied, "Do you want to make a move?"

"...As long as her life is not in danger, there is no need."

The man in black seemed to be taken aback, then immediately lowered his head and replied, "Yes!"

A breeze blew past, and only the man in white standing by the bed and the girl in pink on the bed were left in the house price.

Looking across the spider web in the corner of the wall, Ye Gucheng narrowed his eyes lightly.Forget it, he couldn't bear to drag her into the net after all.

When Ye Zhiran woke up the next day, she was the only one left in the room.The body that had never slept on such a poor-quality bed protested to her, rubbed her sore waist, and then stretched out her hand to press her neck. Miss Ye sighed resentfully.She never thought she was so delicate before...

Halfway through rubbing her waist, Ye Zhiran paused, blinked, and blinked again.She finally remembered what she did last night...

I wipe!Did she change her mind from that of the second senior brother last night? !She has done some amazing horses!

Covering her face with her hands sadly, Ye Zhiran fell headfirst on the bed.She would never admit that she was the one who coquettishly pestered Ye Gucheng and swore that she would never forget her last night!She also resolutely refused to admit that the tooth mark on Jianxian's left wrist was made by her!

It must have been a dream last night!

That's right!That was a dream!

Before Ye Zhiran finished her self-hypnosis, the people in the room were suddenly pushed away with a squeak.A man in white clothes Shengxue appeared at the door, with straight eyebrows and a long sword at his waist. The city lord is indeed very handsome early in the morning!

Ye Zhiran stared calmly at the handsome face of Ye City Master Ye, trying hard to control her gaze not to move to his hanging left hand.So what, the pink silk exposed under the white sleeve seems familiar...

"Now that you're awake, come out and have breakfast."

Ye Zhiran lowered her head silently, and answered in a low voice, "Yes."

A stone table in the courtyard of the ruined temple.

Ye Zhiran's eyes wandered wildly while eating, looking at the sky and the ground, but she didn't dare to look at the person opposite.

Well, this porridge is not bad, it seems that Nan Wang Shizi has not been mad enough to skip his master's food.The city lord lives here except that the place to sleep is a bit shabby, other things should be fine... right...

The girl in pink glanced here and there, and the man in white calmly finished his breakfast as if he hadn't seen it.Sensing that the person opposite had put down his chopsticks, Ye Zhiran immediately put down the bowl.

"I'm done eating."

Ye Gucheng glanced over the untouched bowl of porridge on the table, and fell on the girl with her head bowed opposite.Under his gaze, the pink side cheeks were gradually stained with a thin blush.

"That... I'll go back..."

Ye Zhiran didn't wait for him to speak, she immediately jumped up from her seat, with her toes slightly on the ground, the top-notch qinggong water pavilion was in full bloom.While the clothes were flying, the figure soared into the air, passed over the low courtyard wall of the ruined temple, and disappeared.That elegant and light figure, and the speed at which no one can be seen in an instant, fully demonstrated to Lord Ye that she had made great progress in lightness kung fu...

Ye Gucheng's eyes fell on the direction where she disappeared. After a long time, a chuckle suddenly sounded in the quiet courtyard.

As soon as Shi Xiuyun entered the door, she saw her junior sister bending over and rummaging through a pile of scattered medicines. She blinked and asked in a daze, "Little junior sister, what are you doing?"

"That...Fourth Senior Sister, it's just right that you are here. Which medicine is used to heal the wound..."

Shi Xiuyun stepped forward and picked through the messy pile of medicines, and took out a light blue round box, "This. Zhiran, didn't you use it last time?"

"Uh... I don't remember..." Can she say that she didn't think about anything just now, her mind was in a mess?

"Hmm... is anyone injured? Do you want me to help?" Looking at her little junior sister with a strange expression, the kind-hearted Shi Xiuyun thought she was worried and asked with concern.

"No... don't... it's just a small injury, I'll take care of it..." Ye Zhiran waved her hand quickly.Just kidding, how could my senior sister see that kind of injury!How to explain seeing her?Said she was drunk and took a bite of City Lord Ye's hand?The cliff will be laughed to death!

Seeing the flustered expression of her little junior sister, Shi Xiuyun blinked blankly, a little confused, but she still kindly offered help, "Small injury? Then do you only want this to stop the bleeding? Do you want something else?" ?”

Ye Zhiran also blinked blankly, "What else do you want?"

"Well, this one is for muscle growth, and this one is for scar removal..."

The girl in pink stared blankly at the several jade boxes that were handed to her, and followed her senior sister's enthusiastic supplementary explanation in her ears, "I promise not to leave any traces!"

No, leave traces? !

"Hey...do you want it?"

Ye Zhiran frowned and stared at the boxes of ointments for a while, and finally, under the shining expectant eyes of her senior sister, she turned her head decisively, "No!"

Who wants to let it leave no trace so kindly!

Carrying the ointment she just got from her senior sister, Ye Zhiran hurried to the temple outside the city.Well, this girl has completely forgotten that Ye Gucheng, as the lord of Baiyun City, really wants to heal the wound on his hand, how could he be short of medicine...

Passing by a fan vendor on the way, a pink object flashed in the corner of her eyes.Ye Zhiran's footsteps paused, and she turned her head to look at the delicate pink fan in a daze for a moment. With the bright red border, there were large swirling pink peach blossoms painted on the fan, which was not at all similar to the peach blossom fan in her previous life.She blinked, turned back and walked to the stall.

"Boss, how do you sell this fan?"

When Ye Zhiran returned to the temple outside the city, she opened the door and saw a man in white leaning on the bed, holding on to a volume of scriptures and slowly flipping through them.She walked to him and sat down, took out the box of ointment, and stretched out her hand.

"Hey, stretch out your left hand."

Ye Gucheng raised his eyes and glanced at the plaster in her hand, the corners of his lips curled slightly, "Bone Eater?"

"..." Ye Zhiran's face turned red, she turned away awkwardly, "I'm not that poisonous, am I?!"

A smile flashed across his black eyes, and the man in white let her take his hand, carefully unwrapped the silk scarf, then gasped a little, and frowned reflexively with his delicate eyebrows.

I was so ruthless last night? !Ye Zhiran looked at the slightly hideous wound, felt pain in her heart, and raised her head guiltily.

"Does it hurt?"

Ye Gucheng watched her wrinkle her small face, bit her lip, and her autumn-like eyes were covered with mist.At this time, a man wouldn't say it hurts!It's a pity that even if he denied it, Miss Ye still didn't believe it.

Slender fingers picked up a white ointment and gently rolled it clockwise on the wound, the milky white ointment gradually became transparent.Ye Zhiran frowned while rubbing the medicine.Except for the time she bumped into him in that silk and satin village three years ago when he was seriously injured and poisoned, she had never seen Ye Gucheng suffer any injuries.No matter how difficult it is for anyone in this world to hurt him.

But this time... She has done something that thousands of people in the world can't do, shouldn't she be proud?

Sister Ye Zhiran, who was extremely guilty, carefully bandaged the wound on his hand. While bandaging, she murmured in her heart how much resentment she had at that time, and she actually did it... Uh, no, it was so ruthless...

Ye Zhiran's eyes lit up suddenly when he caught sight of the folding fan she had just casually bought beside the bed.

"Hey, Ye Gucheng, can you play the piano?"

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are almost compulsory courses for young masters of ancient aristocratic families, and Ximen Chuuxue knows the piano skills.Although it is very likely that he did it for swordsmanship, but the same reason can be proved (...), Ye Gucheng should also do it.

The man in white looked away from the book and landed on her face, stared at her for a while, and then slowly fell on his left hand which was still bandaged in her hand.

"... Well, pretend I didn't ask..." Ye Zhiran twitched the decision in her heart.I just bit someone's wrist last night, and today I asked someone to play the piano or something, it's too cruel...

Ye Gucheng looked at the girl beside him who lowered his head dejectedly, the aura around him instantly darkened, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he said, "Do you want to hear it?"

"Eh..." Ye Zhiran nodded hesitantly.

Ye Gucheng nodded, then turned his head to look out the window, "Go and get a piano."

"Yes!" The sound of the clothes ripping through the air gradually faded away.

After half a cup of tea, a guqin appeared in front of Ye Zhiran.

The corner of the girl in pink twitched.Well, the secret guards in Baiyun City are really efficient!

She raised her hand and picked up the fan beside the bed and stood up.The man who bowed his head and tuned the piano looked up at the girl in a pink dress standing a few steps away from him with a smile.

"Hey, Ye Gucheng. Did I say that I want to show you the neon clothes and feather clothes?"
