[New Peerless Double Pride 3] Over the years

Kneeling on the floor of the cell, distraught, I applied medicine to Jiang Wuque's wound. This time, the injury was not serious. It seemed that the Palace Master specially spared his physical strength for him to face my questioning.

I no longer knew what I was doing, let alone what I was going to say to Jiang Wuque in the first sentence I spoke. I just smeared the ointment all over my arm for him. At the end, Jiang Wuque pulled my hand away, frowned and asked :"what's on your mind?"

"What...?" I froze and looked at him.

"Are you all right?" he asked again.

"Jiang Wuque..." I knew something had to be done, and at this moment, the person who wanted Jiang Wuque to despair at all costs was sitting behind the wall, watching my every move intently.

"You..." I bit my lower lip lightly, and I tried my best to look relaxed, "Do you remember," I asked, "You promised me before that you would tell me the story of the successor of Yihua Palace, and you are not going to break your promise Bar?"

Jiang Wuque was a little puzzled, as if he didn't understand why I brought this up, but he still smiled after being puzzled, "Didn't you already know everything, what else do you want to hear?" He asked back.

"How can you say that you know everything?" I argued, "I only know that you were arranged to fight with your own brother, but how did you think, how did you grow up, and how did you meet Jiang Xiaoyu and Iron Girl? , These stories must be very exciting, but the storyteller never speaks carefully, which makes it boring to listen to."

Jiang Wuque was still smiling, with a sharp and thin chin, but it was a bit bitterer than when he was not smiling. "So you want to hear me?" he asked. "Which passage do you want to hear?"

I was taken aback, I didn't expect him to react in this way, I thought it must take a lot of trouble, or he finally doubted the purpose of my questioning.But he didn't seem to want to embarrass me, he just said indifferently: "There are some things that should be told earlier, if Jiang Wuque disappears from this world one day, no one will know his secret again."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" I reprimanded, but not because of anger, because compared to anger, what caused me a huge reaction was the word "secret" in his mouth, which seemed to expose all my tricks immediately.

Jiang Wuque looked at me, "Wipe off the excess ointment," he motioned, "I'll tell you."

"Then you have to start from the beginning, and I will listen to everything!"

He nodded.

At this moment, I decided not to think about my purpose anymore, but to listen to Jiang Wuque's past stories as Sun Yingyu's most innocent identity.

And the story of Jiang Wuque started from the first day when he was taken to Yihua Palace, where he spent his childhood and youth, and gradually became Hua Wuque.

He told all kinds of anecdotes in Xiuyu Valley, the spirit rabbit became a spirit, and the toothless man came to ask for a marriage with a mouse. Xinting listed each other as secrets.

Of course, there are also two palace masters, Yaoyue and Lianxing.

"Master is very strict with everyone. In Yihua Palace, anyone who breaks the palace rules will be punished without exception."

"Punishment for what?" I asked.

"Killed, or choose to commit suicide." He replied.

I fell silent.

"The second master needs to talk better...but he has never seen her, and he is merciful to anyone."

Jiang Wuque chuckled, and I saw his face, talking about his enemies, obviously there was a mortal hatred that tore his whole family apart, but when he talked about them, it was not hatred or resentment, it was just a kind of love Absolutely.

"I knew they lied to me," he said, "from an early age, earlier than anyone could have imagined, when they looked at me, sometimes too eagerly, sometimes too bitterly, and I knew then, what village Abandoned babies, what kind of wonderful bones, all lie to me...

"If someone looks at you with that kind of look, you will definitely realize that if he either hates you or someone related to you, it's just that when I understand, I'm already unwilling to pursue the truth."

Jiang Wuque still smiled. In this smile, he denied his ignorance for more than ten years, or that as long as he was not a fool, when there were two people who looked at you with worry and joy, and treated you with cold and hot, what he gave was His life experience was full of mistakes and omissions, and he was even not allowed to ask. No matter how obedient Jiang Wuque was, he knew that everything happened for a reason.

However, Jiang Wuque still chose to accept his fate. He was willing to kill for the two most respected palace masters. Whether it was a cottage with hundreds of people or a stranger whose name he had only heard once, he would draw his sword without asking why.It's just... even Xiao Yu'er, who grew up in the Valley of the Evil, knows how to distinguish right from wrong, so how could Jiang Wuque not understand?He just couldn't find anyone who would persuade him to give up. When he saw the blood of a stranger splashing in front of his eyes, the only ones who supported him to hold the sword were the two masters in Yihua Palace.

Under the starry sky, on Xiaoyue Peak, Jiang Wuque will never forget that person with flowing clouds, long sleeves, and light clothes and long skirts. In the eyes of the young Mr. Wuque, he can't see the deformed left hand and left foot, but only I feel a word echoing in my mind: flying like a fairy.

That was probably the most beautiful scene that Jiang Wuque had seen in his life, because when he described the bright moon, the astonishing posture under the bright moon, a faint brilliance gradually appeared in his eyes, which was something I had never seen before. The glory of the past, with the long-term admiration and admiration, as if that scene has already been deeply embedded in the heart, and can never be forgotten.

……

Before the age of six, the lord of the Lianxing Palace pushed the palace for Jiang Wuque, changing his masculine physique and allowing him to practice the inner strength of the Yihua Palace.At that time, she was the closest person to him, and in the huge Yihua Palace, there was only one person who really reasoned with him and taught him how to behave, instead of calling him "son" politely, just avoiding or accompanying him .

After the age of six, Jiang Wuque began to learn swordsmanship from Lianxing, and was amazed at the swordsmanship that had reached perfection under the moonlight, in the flowing white clothes.Also since then, he has always been amazed that there really are heavenly beings in the world, stars and lonely moons, and one person in front of him is better than thousands of people in the world.

Maybe I really watched it for a long time, and it was too long, so I firmly remembered it.

So even he was changed, deliberately approaching and imitating, Jiang Wuque became the same kind who invited the moon and pity the stars.He does not deny that he is alienated from everyone, and gentleness is just the appearance of educated people. In fact, when he is against his will, when he obeys the two masters without asking why, it is not just out of kindness, it is A habit, a rather terrible habit, willing to kill someone for a word of the other party, is willing, not educated.

Therefore, for Jiang Wuque, who was not well versed in the matters of men and women, he did not understand where that habit originated from.

But one day people have to be enlightened. Jiang Wuque is not stupid, not to mention that he has become more or less thoughtful when he gets along with women for many years.

The 12-year-old boy, standing in the distance one day, saw the man wearing plain clothes and flowers, and knew that his heart had been moved.

However, it was also from that moment that a child's staggeringly tolerant character took shape.

Because while understanding what liking means, Jiang Wuque discovered another thing: the two masters will lose their minds when they meet their eyes for a while, but the master master is a love-hate entanglement in the blink of an eye, while the second master is a kind of love-hate relationship. Even more suppressed and deposited emotions, he at that time still couldn't see through them.

But he guessed something, as if one of his close relatives must have a relationship with the two palace masters, as if he also knew that they raised him, and their love did not necessarily outweigh their hatred.

If a person is raised to obey orders, then unless he is brainless, he should know that his master doesn't have to really love himself, they just need him, like a utensil.

But Yaoyue poured hatred into this tool, she didn't realize it, and Jiang Wuque discovered this in advance.

And Jiang Wuque just put it in his heart, and at the same time silently paid attention to another person.

When I asked him: "Do you really, like Palace Master Lian Xing?" When the question came out, even I couldn't convince myself that it could be a problem.

After all, that man is his master, nearly 20 years older than him, not to mention the initial treachery, it was just a concealment from him, and the vicious intentions that caused the two brothers to kill each other. , with such an obsessed look, recalling all the things under the moonlight.

Jiang Wuque naturally knew my shock, so he just smiled and frowned unconsciously... "Yes." He replied without hesitation or concealment.

This was Jiang Wuque's first secret.

I can't imagine.

"You like your master? You know they might use you, and you know they might have a grudge against you, but you still like one of them?"

He lowered his eyes to conceal the apparent difficulty.

Then when he left the valley, where did the whole world praise the Wuque son?The perfect man of God who has no love in his heart is not incomprehensible, but he has already tasted it, and the pain is unspeakable.

Because I believe that no matter how strong the infatuation is, Jiang Wuque will never say it out loud. That person is his second master. He can respect and love him in his heart, but in the bottom of his heart, he always resents himself for having such despicable thoughts. At one moment, he had to force himself not to show his emotions, and at the other moment, he had to blame himself for desecrating the lonely person under the moon, and he blamed himself endlessly.

Jiang Wuque is a person who lives for others all his life. You can say that he has no desires or demands, and he does not know what he wants, so he simply chose to be the Hua Wuque who has no love, hate, joy or anger at the beginning.

So perfection is false, not understanding pain and joy is false, not knowing life and death, not knowing how to pursue jealousy, all are false.

It was such a pure and simple person, stubbornly, and pretending to be an illusion.

"What about the iron girl?" I asked.

Mentioning Tie Xinlan, Jiang Wuque's attention was diverted, and he faintly called out the name. This time, this place, this situation, this situation, for him, was just another helplessness between life and death.

When I mentioned Tie Xinlan, what I thought of was that woman who was kind and firm despite her beauty.

This is what I heard from scholars. Tie Xinlan is very beautiful, but other than that, she has poor martial arts and poor brains.This is someone else's comment, I just listen to it and don't participate in the discussion.

But my two elder brothers are always envious. They think that beauty alone is definitely enough. As for martial arts and intelligence, that is the real drag that affects men's interest in women.

As for someone arguing, it means that the woman is beautiful enough.

I went to see Jiang Wuque at this time, and sure enough, I found a gentle look on his face, and the scene in the prison cell in the past became clear. The content of the raving in the dream.

Suddenly, I had some hope that Jiang Wuque really liked Tie Xinlan, so it would be a more relaxed way forward for others and myself.

however……

"It's the first time I saw Xinlan..." Jiang Wuque coughed twice, his voice was choked up by the old chest injury, but he stopped to let him go, twitching his eyebrows and going down: "At that time, I will go out of the valley." Kill Xiaoyuer... Lu met Miss Tie, she lost her way in the mountains and forests, and asked me to take her to the Emei School..."

"Are you looking for Yan Nantian's treasure?" I took the opportunity to ask.

Jiang Wuque smiled slightly, "Will someone hide the treasure in the forbidden area of ​​other sects? Of course not, what Xinlan is looking for is Xiaoyuer..." In the two sentences, "Xiaoyuer" twice, Jiang Wuque's voice Slightly nervous, but without showing any emotion on his face, he continued: "I never thought that it would be such a coincidence that a treasure map would lead all the people I would meet sooner or later to one place."

In these words, he was still alluding to Xiao Yu'er.

"What happened then?" I asked, "Iron Girl is so beautiful, did you fall in love at first sight?"

The other party's expression just froze, and after a long time, he asked: "Why do you think so?"

"Isn't it? Isn't that what storytellers always say? Tie Zhan's daughter is more beautiful than Huayan, and any man who looks at her will be ecstasy—isn't Mr. Jiang ecstasy?"

Jiang Wuque smiled helplessly, but he didn't deny it. I thought it meant he acquiesced, but he suddenly asked, "Then how did the storyteller say about my second master?"

I was stunned, "A...peerless posture."

He nodded, "That's right."

It was not unexpected to me, Jiang Wuque sure enough, the person who really fell in love with Lian Xing was Palace Master Lian Xing. I just didn't understand why he would provoke Tie Xinlan, after all, at that time, it was his appearance that distorted Jiang's feelings. Xiaoyu and Tie Xinlan's emotional journey.

"Do you think," Jiang Wuque asked slowly, "Can people change overnight?"

I understood that he was responding to my love at first sight.

"Emei Houshan," he said, "I was going to follow my master's order to kill Xiao Yu'er myself, but he has all kinds of tricks, and he knew that I must kill him by hand, so he first deliberately attracted snakes to bite him, and then Threatening me with a knife against myself, and even falling off a cliff when I was going backwards, in short, I couldn't find a chance to kill him with my own hands."

And I don't think so, "Or you don't want to kill him at all."

Jiang Wuque shook his head slightly, "The person who met me only once, who had no grievances or enmities, and who died under my hands in the end... Xiao Yu'er is not the first one."

"But you still don't want to kill him, because you are brothers, maybe there will be a reaction."

"We are brothers," Jiang Wuque retorted, "not monsters."

I smiled slightly.

"Do you know that I haven't laughed all day?" He said suddenly.

I touched my face, "Really?"

The people around him nodded and didn't say much else.

"Jiang Wuque, I want to ask you a question - Xiao Yuer fell off the cliff at that time, did you know that he cheated his death?"

After a moment of silence, he shook his head.

"Then there are so many storms coming, even you can't kill him, and falling off a cliff can't kill him. Except for him, no one in this world can turn the little fish into a dead fish, so you have to trust him. "

Jiang Wuque sighed slightly, and I wanted to sigh with him too, but I didn't dare.Hearing these words in the ears of the people behind the wall, I am afraid that I don’t know what to think about. The palace master knows who he is better than anyone else. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must see the bones. How could it be so easy for Jiang? Xiaoyu cheating death in front of his eyes?

These words were nothing more than words I used to comfort Jiang Wuque, but Jiang Wuque also turned to me, and said with soft eyebrows: "Thank you..."

Afterwards, he hesitated a little, but still whispered: "Yu Yu..."

"Huh?" It's been a long time since I heard him call my name like that. When I looked up at him, I only dared to see his nose bridge and chin, but didn't dare to look into his eyes, because I suddenly felt extremely guilty.

He said: "I don't want to lie to you, Xinlan, she has always felt that she owed me something, she once really liked Xiao Yu'er, and she was afraid that I would have a grudge, but I'm telling you right now...she didn't owe me anything, she always did. I owe her."

I was startled suddenly, and suddenly had an urge to tell him to shut up, as if everything was getting close, and I could even foresee what he was going to say next, but I didn't want to hear it, other people's secrets, Jiang Wuque's secrets , I don't want to know at all from the beginning to the end!

"Jiang Wuque..."

He shook his head and interrupted me, smiled, and said in a very light sentence: "I have never forgotten the second master... Marrying Xinlan is because after the decisive battle, I have lost all hope..."

……

When Yan Nantian's treasure was finished, the back mountain of Emei fell off the cliff, and Jiang Xiaoyu stumbled and fell off the cliff. Tie Xinlan hated and annoyed the merciless Jiang Wuque. Jiang Wuque had never hurt a woman in his life, but at that moment, Tie Xinlan burst into tears. Cross flow, hoarse voice, he immediately softened his heart.

Later, they walked with Tie Xinlan, and the two ran into Yan Nantian who had just left the Valley of the Wicked.At that time, Yan Nantian mistook Jiang Wuque for Jiang Xiaoyu, and even forced Jiang Wuque to marry Tie Xinlan.Tie Xinlan only thought about Xiao Yu'er, but she thought Jiang Wuque liked her too, and she was afraid of hurting Mr. Wuque's heart, so she agreed even if she violated her original intention, but it was Jiang Wuque who died and would not compromise.

Why did everyone think that he was wrong? Everyone said that he was such a noble person. He clearly loved Tie Xinlan to the bone, but he didn't want the other party to be embarrassed in the slightest. He would rather be sad than heal that infatuation. Buried deeper.Only Jiang Wuque knows better than anyone else that he is not a good person, no one in this world is truly perfect, he just needs to put a real and beautiful thing by his side to comfort himself.

In fact, Tie Xinlan is special to Jiang Wuque.She is fresh and free, unwilling and will not hide her thoughts, that kind of bravery and even recklessness, Jiang Wuque envies but dare not look directly at her.He is very kind to Tie Xinlan, partly because of her natural kindness, and partly because she has something in her that he doesn't have.Tie Xinlan can take off her clothes without hesitation to save Xiao Yu'er, but Jiang Wuque will never be able to do like her, who is not afraid of anything for the person in his heart.

"Maybe it's because she's different from us..." Jiang Wuque smiled wryly, "Some people are afraid of death, but some people don't even have the courage to say what's in their hearts until they die...Xin Lan, seeing her love for Xiao Yu'er Putting my heart into it makes me feel ridiculous... and I think she is rare..."

People who listened to the story often said that Tie Xinlan was swaying left and right, and even Xiao Yuer said: When Tie Xinlan looked at Mr. Wuque, the light in her eyes was all bright.It's just that Xiao Yu'er was sour when he said this.Jiang Wuque sees it more clearly than anyone else: Tie Xinlan is not too smart, that's why she is very loyal to her heart.She is not like Xiao Yu'er elf, so how could she understand Xiao Yu'er's contempt and ridicule towards her, just because she despises her and likes him.

The more he likes the person he likes, the more Xiao Yu'er looks down on him, the more he wants to bully him, even if he likes him in his heart, he likes him very much.

So women are meant to be coaxed, there is no second Su Ying in the world who can stand Xiao Yuer's vicious words, evil deeds and looks, so even if there is no Jiang Wuque, Tie Xinlan may not have been chasing Xiao Yuer all the time run.But Tie Xinlan really loves Xiao Yu'er, no matter what kind of grievance she suffers, no matter how much her kindness is despised by the other party, she will never turn back... It is precisely this point that makes Mr. Wuque regard it as a treasure, and will do everything in his power to protect it. Iron Girl regards it as a kind of responsibility for herself.

As for Jiang Wuque, he would only give up this responsibility when he was really unable to do what he wanted.When Mrs. Bai's ecstasy needle pierced the laughing point in his body, he laughed madly and Yang Tie Xinlan went to find Xiao Yu'er. At that time, he couldn't help himself, not because he wanted to see Tie Xinlan cry.But it was also that narrow escape that strengthened another thought in his heart that he could no longer suppress.

"Before the decisive battle, Xin Lan came to me not to kill Xiao Yu'er. At that time, I thought: Why don't everyone want Xiao Yu'er to die, so I deserve to die? Even the second master... also wants to stay That person is him... But I have already made plans, I must take a breath after the defeat, and I will tell Lian Xing in person: I have no relationship with her as a teacher and student... When I think about it this way, going to death will become the most important thing in this life. It's something to look forward to, because no matter what she thinks of me, I finally found an opportunity to be honest with myself, but I didn't expect..."

Jiang Wuque paused, he didn't expect this, after all, he couldn't escape the regret that he couldn't get what he wanted, no matter how difficult it is to go to heaven and earth.

"At the time of the decisive battle... I hope that Xiao Yu'er can use [-]% of the means, as long as [-]% of the means, I will die... But at that time, I didn't mean to let him, in the crowd, the master personally frozen the second master , I watched them arguing, but I couldn't stop the duel to prevent the whole thing from happening... because at that time, I finally understood..." Jiang Wuque closed his eyes, his face was pale and his breath was confused by the words he had already spoken, but What he hadn't said yet made him feel a sudden heartache, chest pain and cough.

"Do you know..." He pulled me, as if he had to complete the sentence at this moment, otherwise he would not have the courage to repeat it in the next moment: "...there will always be a kind of person in the world with hands and feet. She is disabled but has no complaints, and she is still willing to be restrained for life... When the second master was dying, she had a chance to save herself, and I also had a chance to save her, but that kind of result was never her favorite...Some things, collect After too long, when I can't hide it, a look can expose all the secrets that I have tried my best to cover up... The long night and the bright moon, do you know why there is always a lone star beside the bright moon?... After the moment of death, I finally understood it. "

Jiang Wuque clenched his fist, his hands were thin and white like a dead man, only supported by his thin bones. When he clenched his fist, he smiled helplessly, "Actually, I don't need to be particular about this kind of thing. It has never been reasonable to say that when he was about to die, the second master gave the master one last look. I am very familiar with that look. Xinlan looked at Xiao Yu'er like that, and I must have looked at the second master like that. ...

"From the beginning to the end, the 20-year revenge plan is a dead end. It's not that the two sisters fell in love with Yulang Jiang Feng at the same time, nor did they pretend to offer a plan to save the baby's life... The people Lian Xing wants to save are always invited to the moon, but Hatred is like fire, and no one can save anyone in the end...

"The stars, the moon, the sky... In the eyes of the second master, the master is the bright moon above her head, so she is desperate to die, and she doesn't want to see the master's feet in the mud, so what if the revenge succeeds, she just wants her to be free... So I didn't take action to save people, when I met the enemy, in the battle of life and death, what I thought about in my mind were some trivial things, such as... So I am not my father's shadow, because the second master never sees me ;For example, death is a very good method. When wishful thinking never pays off, dying in the expectation of everyone is considered a well-deserved death...

"It's just that I didn't expect that the truth turned out to be like that. Xiao Yu'er came back from the dead. Everyone came to congratulate me on recognizing brother Jiang Xiaoyu. Everyone was glad that the plot of the master of Yihua Palace had been shattered, but I So what, I was planning to die, so the first moment was not sad, but the next moment, I didn't even have a reason to die, everyone was so happy, I should laugh and rejoice with them , but I can't do it, I just... died master..."

Jiang Wuque lowered his eyes, his sarcastic smile had already become blurred. "So, I can't easily say that death will make people around me sad, and I can't let Xinlan down. She persuaded me to be merciful in order to save Xiao Yuer, but she is willing to die for me... It just makes me want to live and die. Follow someone, not her, be nice to her, because I need someone to be nice to her..."

Gently let out a sigh of relief, he still looked at his clenched hand, for so many years, for so long, just because he didn't want to disappoint anyone, so he kept a secret for nearly ten years, ten years ago he couldn't die if he wanted to, Since then, how he managed to smile in front of others, how he made himself forget about Lian Xing and that person's last look at Yaoyue, how he deceived Tie Xinlan, how he deceived the extremely clever little fish—Xin Nian How did he survive these ten years when he was completely ashamed?

"I'm sorry..." I stretched out my hand, but I finally retracted it before touching him.

"Excuse me for what?" he asked.

"I shouldn't have asked about your past..."

"..." He shook his head, "One thing has been held in my heart for so long, if I don't say it, I'm afraid..."

"Jiang Wuque, there is something I want to tell you..."

There was a soft knock on the door, and the covered face of the palace master appeared behind the iron door of the cell, not too soon or too late.

Jiang Wuque and I looked up at the same time, but at this moment, what I looked at was not outside the door, but Jiang Wuque's face.

How should he react? If he knows that I tricked him into revealing this long-buried secret, how will he think of me? He probably won't even look at me more, and he won't hate me, because he doesn't even hate Yaoyue. Because of this, he made his life inescapably pathetic.

"Jiang Wuque, I'm sorry..." I said softly.

He was a little surprised, apparently felt that my second apology was redundant, but before he could speak to comfort me, the Palace Master walked up to my side, grabbed my hand, and lifted me up.

Looking at me, the meaning of the palace master's eyes is very obvious: If I dare to act rashly or don't listen to the arrangement, the lives of the four people in my family will never be safe.

"You lost." The pleasant voice was gentle and slow, and his eyes were not looking at Jiang Wuque, but at me.

"You already know what you want to know..." Jiang Wuque was also looking at me at this time, but even so, he was not talking to me, "She is yours, and I never expected her to treat me sincerely. Since you made me reveal all the secrets as you wished, from now on, whether you kill her or let her go, I just ask you not to put her in front of me again."

I was stunned, Jiang Wuque's eyes were as cold as ice for another moment, I have never seen him look at people like this, and now he is looking at me.

It turns out that he already knew that I lied to him, but why is he willing to tell the whole secret?Is it really just holding back for too long before saying it?I can't figure it out, but at least I know that what he just said about the past is true, Jiang Wuque is not Jiang Yulang, and he will never deceive people with such things.

"Since it's the last time," the Palace Master still looked at me speaking, with a soft and bewitching tone, "then let's watch it for the last time." Suddenly he approached me, reached out and clasped the back of my head as soon as he raised his hand, and then pushed down hard. As soon as I pressed it, I couldn't control it, and my face was pushed abruptly to Jiang Wuque's eyes.

Jiang Wuque closed his eyes.

"If you close your eyes, I will immediately crush her sky cap."

After speaking, I felt the pressure from the five fingers above my head at the same time.

Jiang Wuque opened his eyes and looked at me closely, "I'm sorry..." I said.

He looked at me quietly, there was no life like death that the palace lord expected, and no bit by bit of betrayal, everything was very peaceful, but I was very clear, this time, maybe the last time in my life Look at Jiang Wuque again.

But in his eyes, there is no life at all.
