Waiting for the wind and rain, the city of clouds is light

The pursuers along the way left many traces on him, Zhang Liang raised his spirit to deal with a black figure who was slashing at his neck with a knife, and ran towards Xiaoshengxianzhuang without stopping.It was almost completely dark, and under the dark blue night, the glazed tiles on the wall of Xiaoshengxianzhuang exuded changing luster.Zhang Liang tapped his toes violently, and his whole body jumped over the wall and fell into the village.The sound of fighting outside the door followed, Zhang Liang's heart trembled, and he rushed to the depths of the village.

The person in his arms seemed to move, Zhang Liang was stunned for a while, but stopped running when the person broke free and fell to the ground.

There was a faint smell of blood dormant in the air, Yun Wei's light red train had already been dyed bright red in several places.The lights at the gate were overturned by the fierce attack, and clusters of flames fell in the yard.She stared straight at the direction of the door, but there was no expression on that face.

Zhang Liang's heart trembled, as if he felt something sinking slowly.

"They're chasing them." Yun Wei said, without the slightest wave on his face, the evening darkness mixed with sparks, his motionless body looked like a standing clay puppet.A sense of strangeness welled up in his heart, Zhang Liang wanted to say something, but was inexplicably suppressed by the situation.

The sound of crackling in the distance came along with the wind, and the fire seemed to be slowly spreading. The wind blowing was dry and hot, and the faint sound of sword fighting was chilling to the bone in this winter that was about to enter spring.

"Today's ceremony, that person dispatched at least hundreds of people to monitor Songhai City. The imperial army that was in charge of this task was all stationed on the outskirts of Songhai City, and all the roads out of and into the city were blocked. On the outskirts of the city, the distance is far away, so they can't intervene in what happens in the city."

Yun Wei's voice is steady, but listening carefully, he finds that it is not steady, it is a piece of stagnant water without waves.Zhang Liang was startled, a thought faintly brewed in his mind, like a cloud of black smoke swaying in the sea, but he didn't dare to touch it, afraid that if he stretched out his hand, it would smash something to pieces.

"These men in black didn't dare to face the empire's army. The reason is that the people who created them didn't want to announce them to the public." Yun Wei paused for a moment, then continued, her voice was slow without any ups and downs, " Although the outskirts of the city are far away, most of them are on the mountain, and what happened in the city can be clearly seen from the height of the mountain. In this way, this army hidden in the dark will be exposed to everyone's eyes."

That idea gradually gathered in his mind, Zhang Liang unconsciously clenched Ling Xu with his right hand, suppressing the slight tremor in both hands.There was still no emotion on Yun Wei's face, but Zhang Liang's heartbeat became more violent for some reason, and the face that was so familiar became extremely strange at this moment, making it impossible for him to call her name at this moment.

"The mirage has not yet set sail, and the first emperor is still on his way to Songhai. Although the empire has strengthened its armaments, but without the first emperor's deputy in command, it is in fact a mess." Yun Wei continued, his pupils reflecting the distant flames and Bloodstains, the little disciples held wooden swords, and when they met those people, they were like ice cubes thrown into boiling water. The tragic sound of fighting was accompanied by the muffled sound of swords piercing into flesh, and rushed towards this side, "Sanghai little sage Zhuang Confucian disciple counts Hundreds, the army under that man's command is also hundreds. And the current situation—"

The gathered clues gradually become complete like a jigsaw puzzle, and it seems that only the last piece is missing.At this time, Zhang Liang suddenly saw the appearance of this idea, and there was a bang in his head.

Could it be that……

"I was brought into the Little Sage Village, and I gave them a reason to go up the mountain to ask for someone. I have always been the person they want, because I am the last person who understands vocal skills."

Do not!impossible!

There was a flash of panic in his usually calm eyes, Zhang Liang struggled to resist, but he watched helplessly as the last piece of the puzzle was slowly embedded in the center of his entire thoughts.

"—And now that they have obtained it, the next step is the Little Sage Village they set foot on."

The blood on the lips faded in that instant, and the house in Xiaoshengxianzhuang shook and distorted in the field of vision.The person in front of him finally moved away from the gaze that had been staring at the gate, and his eyes met his, as deep as two ancient wells.

"Zhang Liang, this contest between you and me has never ended. And now, you have lost."

The sound of unsheathing was like thunder in the sky, just for a short moment and then disappeared in the noise.Ling Xujian's tall sword was glowing blue, Zhang Liang's lips trembled slightly, the tip of his nose was only two inches away from hers, his eyes seemed to burn everything into ashes.The sword light is cold, and it is now touching her neck. The color of the blood beads is just like the green blood heart on the sword. It slowly slides down her slender neck and sinks into the collar. Her pupils are pitch black.

The flames soared into the sky, and the disciples who arrived used themselves as a wall to hold back the attack.And as the reinforcements from Yamashita arrived one after another, the defense line was in jeopardy under the impact again and again.

She didn't move, as if she didn't feel the blade of the sword on her neck at all, as if she didn't care that the Lingxu sword could kill her with just a light stroke.But his hand started to tremble first, he didn't dare to move the sword in his hand, he didn't dare to let the blade cut the throat of the person in front of him.

"So you have never told the truth," the voice was tense like a fully drawn bowstring under extreme forbearance and suppression, Zhang Liang stared at the person in front of him, "Is that so?"

Yun Wei remained silent, looking at him with a pair of eyes, as if looking at something far away through him.

"The so-called belief in my trust in you," Zhang Liang's voice began to tremble slightly, his eyes were bloodshot, "it's just another way of using it, isn't it?"

There is silence behind the voice, and the killing in the distance is low and depressing.

Something flashed briefly in Yun Wei's eyes, but before the other party wanted to catch it, it disappeared.After a while, she slowly opened her lips, her voice was soft but deep:

"He is my uncle."

"It's also the senior brother of the teacher's wife, and the elder brother."

"As the head of the sect, he has led the whole sect to serve Qin for a long time."

Yun Wei was silent for a long time, and finally spit out eight words slowly.

"The teacher's kindness is above all, and the teacher's order is hard to break."

The dry wind from the flames slapped his face like a knife cut, and the last trace of blood on Zhang Liang's face completely faded with this sentence.

"I persuaded you not to interfere with my affairs." Yun Wei's voice was dry and unwavering, with his hands hanging stiffly by his side, "It's hard to be a fellow traveler when we meet by chance."

"We just met by chance..." Zhang Liang repeated these four words in a trembling voice, his dark brown eyes were close at hand, and he seemed to see something absurd, "You said we just met by chance, why did you tell me everything you know?" I?"

Interrupted by his questioning, Yun Wei was at a loss for words for a moment, and then continued as if she didn't hear his words, "I didn't use you, but I also want to live." The silence made one's chest stagnate, and then she spoke, her voice was as low as a nightmare, "If I don't tell you, you will find out one day, but the one who chooses is you and not me, and you are the one who followed without any certainty. gone."

"Then why do you want to leave?" Zhang Liang asked, desperately trying to catch her loopholes, the calm and breezy cloud that he was always proud of, was completely riddled with chaotic emotions at this moment.Ling Xu followed the trembling of his right hand to reflect the shattered light, and the blood red color became more dazzling when the blade moved lightly, "Since you already guessed that I will protect you with all my strength, why didn't you leave without saying a word?"

"Why?" Yun Wei repeated in a low voice, as if he was muttering to himself, the ending was drowned in the screams of the wounded in the distance and the roar of the charge, and after a while, he said, "Holding hard to get."

The scene in front of her seemed to be completely dyed red at this moment, the Lingxu sword hummed, and the sudden murderous aura turned the fallen leaves into powder, and the fierce sword aura swept across her body like a wild horse.Yun Wei couldn't help closing his eyes, but the sword on his neck didn't move at all.The back of the head loosened, and the long hair lost its restraint and blew into the air.The wooden hairpin fell silently through the hair, and the dark green jade was warm and peaceful.

As if everything in the world was silent, the long hair fell silently on the shoulders, and then there was a clear sound, and the hairpin broke in two.The jade stone rolled down on the stone road with a crisp sound.

Zhang Liang looked at it.

The ink color was still warm, and he seemed to hear the sound of something breaking in his heart.

"Zhang Liang," Yun Wei's voice was so soft that it seemed to be blowing away in the wind, "I remember, you owe me three favors. The first two have already been paid, and the last one is left."

Ling Xu was still pressed against her neck, blood stained the blade, as thin as a layer of veil.

"If you kill me now, you won't be able to stop him."

"Today's matter, together with my life, is the third favor."

Yun Wei's lips seemed to be trembling slightly, she paused, and then added: "How is it?"

The hand holding the sword trembled, Zhang Liang looked straight at her, his clenched lips turned pale and blue at some point, the emotions in his eyes were tumbling like huge waves crushing everything, hatred and forbearance, rage and struggle, and thousands of arrows. The bloody pain that pierces the heart.Then he closed his eyes, the eyelashes curled upwards were trembling uncontrollably, and then subsided after a while.Zhang Liang put down his right hand as if he lost his strength, Ling Xu's sword tip hit the stone slab, the sound was like jade shattering.He staggered back two steps, his sleeves rolled up in the wind, the blue figure looked completely different from his usual desperation and despair.The sound of howling wind passed between the two of them, and the echo left behind was broken like a ghost crying. He looked out of focus at the faint blood on the sword, and for a moment, he raised his hand and put the sword back into its sheath.

How could he hurt her.

How could he hurt her.

It seems that thousands of springs and autumns have passed, as if the line of time has come to an end.He silently watched her lean down and picked up the wooden hairpin and jade, for a moment, the corner of her mouth was stained with self-mockery.

She stood up slowly, eyes downcast.She put them on the palm of her right hand, flicked them lightly with her long and slender fingers, as if wiping off the dust on them, and then handed her hands in front of him.

Zhang Liang's eyes moved to her palm, the patterns carved on the wooden hairpin were clear, deep and shallow notches supported a petal, but when the patterns were about to converge, they were severed by a gap.Moyu is still shiny and moist, like a pair of unchanging kind eyes.He looked at it, watching it shrunk like a withered leaf, struggling to hold on in late autumn.

After a long time, Zhang Liang seemed to be smiling.

"You're right. I'm the loser."

"The one who falls in love first loses."

"I'm getting deeper and deeper, and I just want to protect you."

"But I don't know that you are just watching a show from the beginning to the end."

He took the hairpin, and his slightly cool fingertips swept across her palm, and she left it as soon as he touched it.

"Heh, Liang Gan bows down." Zhang Liang's voice was low and hoarse, his thin lips curled up nicely, but when he looked up at her, it was icy cold, "He Yunwei, you are really ruthless."

He looked into her eyes for the last time, her eyes were still out of focus and still, but his eyes were only indifference.

"I have already paid back the favor I owe you."

The figure in red clothes in his eyes was in a trance like fireworks, as if he was about to melt into the firelight of Xiaoshengxianzhuang.The noise in his ears was accompanied by broken shouts, he withdrew his gaze, turned and left.

"You and I, we will be clean from now on."
