The night is cold as water, and the silence is boundless.
It was the second half of the night, the grass and insects outside the window had already stopped singing, and the entire Ming Villa, except for the guards who patrolled the night, fell asleep.
Ling Yuan walked out of the dark room quietly, with a cool feeling on his body. The room was as quiet and silent as when he left, but he keenly felt something was different. , but saw his wife, who was supposed to be sleeping, sitting quietly at the head of the bed.
Breath stagnant.
Whether it was the one who was caught in the secret, or the one who caught the secret, they all looked at each other with an expression that could be called calm. Except for the faint beeping sound of the candle burning, there was no other movement at this time.
Looking at each other silently, a small spark suddenly burst out from the candle wick. Ling Yuan moved first, the corners of his mouth twitched as usual, he slowly approached, took the coat from the hanger and draped it on Jiang Rui's shoulders, and said with concern in a warm voice : "Why is Madam sitting on the bedside? Be careful of catching a cold."
Although it was a gentle tone, his voice that was as dull as a dead wood suddenly sounded in the night, but it was eerie and creepy.
Ling Yuan, as if he didn't realize it, hugged the person in his arms and held the other person's cool hand, "I'll cover the lady."
Although it came suddenly tonight, it was not surprising. He knew that this day would come sooner or later, and when he left earlier, he realized that he couldn't even touch her sleeping hole, and he realized that this day would be more difficult than he thought. Come earlier.
He came out of the dark room just now and realized that something was wrong. He didn't go back or put on the mask again. In that short moment, he had already made a choice.
If it's Xiao Xiao, he doesn't mind being seen, because it's impossible for the other party to leave alive. If there are no outsiders, there is only his wife, and if she is seen, she will be seen. She is his, there will be no variables, and he will not allow variables.
"Why don't you talk?" He branded a kiss on her neck, delicate and gentle, as gentle as the wind and drizzle.
Jiang Rui turned her head and turned to look at him, "Don't you have anything to tell me?"
Ling Yuan's eyes were obscure, and he said softly in a hoarse voice, "I don't know what Madam wants to hear."
The candlelight and shadows were all over the place. Jiang Rui observed his expression and knew that this was not a shirk. For everyone in the past, not only good memories, but also darkness, blood, and despair. Are your legs okay?"
"Yes."
"Are you planning something?"
"Yes."
"Are you worried about your life?"
He nodded slowly, "… Yes."
"Then," she looked at him and said slowly, "what about me? If you die, what will I do?"
The hand still on his waist paused, then slowly tightened, as if he was about to rub her into the blood. Ling Yuan had been avoiding this issue recently, but she pointed it out at this time. To the point of unavoidable.
Enemy must be avenged, and the enemy's life must be taken, and when he planned all this, he never took his own safety into consideration. In other words, he was not going to leave this life behind.
But recently, he has found himself starting to become life-threatening.
In the original plan, he would increase his internal strength to the extreme when the crowd was besieged, and also increase the poison to the extreme, becoming an irrational weapon that only knew how to kill. There is no need for a weapon to stay in the world. , After killing all the enemies, there will be no Ling Yuan in the world.
But these days, there are often other pictures in his mind, only the two of them, far away from the disputes in the rivers and lakes, and spend their days leisurely.
The scene was so tempting that he knew it was impossible, but he couldn't help but imagine it from time to time.
The person in his arms was still looking at him, waiting for an answer, he found his throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound for a while.
Jiang Rui sat up in his arms, put her hands around his neck, pressed her forehead to her forehead, and said in a low voice, "I don't care if you are a good person or a bad person, and I don't care if you want to do good or bad things, I just ask you, would you like to? Don't want to grow old with me?"
Her tone of voice did not fluctuate too much, and her expression was the same as usual. Ling Yuan always thought that his wife was a weak woman, but at this moment, for some unknown reason, she suddenly felt that there was a tinge in her delicate body. Powerful power, it seems that as long as he nods and says yes, then the dream can come true.
Whether it comes true or not, he is willing, because that is his best dream.
"… yes," he said, his voice hoarse.
Jiang Rui gently touched his lips, like a reward, and asked, "Do you believe me?"
Ling Yuan heard the words and smiled wryly: "Trust."
Now, how could he not know that something was wrong with his wife, he had suspected her identity was not simple in the past, but at that time he didn't care, because he was confident that he could control everything. Now he finds himself overconfident, but even so, he still believes in her, maybe even if she pushes the dagger into his chest at this moment, he will still believe her, that's why he smiled wryly at himself.
Jiang Rui kissed his lips again, "I won't hurt you."
Ling Yuan wrapped one arm around her waist and the other on her back, as if holding a child and sitting on her lap, "I believe Madam." After a while, he said, "Madam if you are willing to listen , nothing to say, but a long, stinky foot-binding cloth."
Liuzhou Ling family is rumored to be a descendant of the royal family, guarding a treasure, this is a secret in the family, only the descendants of the direct descendants know. However, Ling Yuan's grandfather was a heroic man with a wide range of friends. After drinking, he accidentally confided a few words, which were heard by people with ulterior motives, which led to the annihilation of the family.
There are more than 100 people in the clan, ranging from the elderly to the three-year-old children who were killed. Ling Yuan was the only one who survived. The nurse replaced him with her own son and hid him in the garden pond. The blood that came out at night stained the whole pond red, and then it was burned clean by a fire.
The perpetrators were all hooded and dressed in black, but he recognized through the six fingers on one of them. Not long ago, these people were having a drink with his grandfather.
He was lucky enough to save his life, but he was taken to Mount Lorraine by the previous demon sect master. The demon coach was a kind of evil kung fu. Although his internal strength increased rapidly, toxins would grow in his meridians. The sect master forced him to practice martial arts, and he would fight in the future. The abacus of absorbing his inner strength, it is a pity that Ling Yuan's life is too big, not only did he not ask people to absorb his inner strength, but he also devoured the former leader, taking his skill and the position of the leader together.
After gaining strength, he began to inquire about his enemies. The funny thing is that those robbers and bandits, through their Ling family treasures, turned into a highly respected person in the righteous martial arts, but he became a demon who everyone shouted and beat.
"... Madame said, should they die?"
His eyes were unreal under the jumping candlelight, and Jiang Rui could feel that those eyes were staring at him.
She didn't dodge or avoid looking at him, "Damn it. But in my eyes, their lives are less than a single finger of yours, and it's not worth taking your own life for it."
