It rained cats and dogs.
A bonfire was burning in the cave, and a long sword was inserted obliquely on the side. The cold blade reflected the firelight, and it could be seen at a glance that it was a sharp weapon that could destroy gold and jade.
He Tingzhou opened his eyes, and saw Xu Feng was roasting fish over a fire. The fish has been grilled until golden on both sides, oil is sizzling out, and the aroma is tangy.
Xu Feng glanced at him and said coldly, "Are you awake?"
He Tingzhou originally wanted to sit up with his arms propped up, but Xu Feng hurriedly stopped him and said: "You are burning badly, don't move around."
He Tingzhou felt dizzy for a while, looked around and asked, "What is this place?"
"The cave near the underground palace. It's raining too much, so I can only take shelter for a while." Xu Feng turned the grilled fish on the turret and asked, "You jumped into the lake with such a serious injury, are you desperate? Yet?"
He Tingzhou leaned against the stone wall of the cave, looked at Xu Feng under the firelight, and whispered: "It's worth it to get this moment of relativeness."
Xu Feng didn't make a sound, but slowly squeezed his palm tightly.
He Tingzhou looked at the heavy rain outside the cave, and said: "I'm afraid the rain won't stop for a while, so why don't you say a few words with me."
"Your Excellency and I are not in the same group, what can I say?"
He Tingzhou smiled and said, "That's true."
Sure enough, he kept silent.
Xu Feng didn't speak, but looked down at the crackling fire, and didn't realize that the fish had been burnt until he smelled a faint burning smell. He hastily turned the grilled fish over, but saw that the fish was burnt black, obviously it was inedible.
Xu Feng stared blankly at the burnt grilled fish, unable to tell what it was like. After an unknown amount of time, he sighed softly, and finally said: "I often think of what happened in Lin'an City back then."
He Tingzhou had already closed his eyes and fell asleep, but at this moment he opened them again and said, "Why not me?"
"At that time... I deliberately pretended to be unconscious and recognized Lin Yu as my brother. How did you know that I was faking?"
"It was the time when I was sick. You ran over and said you wanted to find Lin Yu, but I knew in my heart that you came to see me on purpose. But since you refused to recognize me, I had no choice but to cooperate with you and continue the play."
"What do you want me to admit?" Xu Feng raised his head and looked at him, and said word by word, "Admit that my brother is the devil who bullied me, insulted me, abolished my martial arts, and treated me as a slave? Or admit... I have the audacity to fall in love with my own brother?"
"Brother Feng..." He Tingzhou stretched out his hand and held Xu Feng's hand tightly.
Xu Feng felt that his hands were trembling, but he continued: "I know that Brother Zhou really treats me well, and I also know that you have been trying your best to make up for me, but all of this is just because I am your younger brother. Have you ever thought about it?" But, what if I’m not? If I’m just Xu Feng, just a nobody without father and mother, what will happen to me now? Maybe I died under the cliff behind the Bliss Palace, or maybe I’m still trapped in the Bliss Palace , waiting for death in despair day by day.”
When He Tingzhou heard this, his complexion was even uglier than when he was hit by Xu Feng's sword in the chest. Obviously, he had never thought about it, and he didn't dare to think about it at all.
Xu Feng slowly pushed away the hand he was holding on to.
At this time, even the remaining side of the fish had been burnt, and a burnt smell permeated the cave. Although I didn't taste the taste, I already felt the bitterness.
He Tingzhou moved his fingers, after all, he only held an empty space. He looked at the bandaged wound on his hand, and suddenly said: "If we have never escaped from the underground palace, we simply drowned together like this, wouldn't that be better?"
Xu Feng remembered that on the snake path, thousands of arrows were fired, he and He Tingzhou stood side by side, and could even give their lives to each other.
... It is good to die at that moment.
Thinking of this, he felt more and more bitter in his heart, turned his face away and said: "A sick person really talks nonsense."
He Tingzhou didn't argue, and said: "It's rare for me to be sick, but you bump into me every time."
Xu Feng knew where his illness came from, and said: "If I don't kill you, it's because of it, because of it..."
He couldn't say the word "brother", he just said, "Don't push yourself."
"Yeah?"
After hearing this, He Tingzhou really made progress, sat up with force, got closer to Xu Feng, looked at him and said, "The thing I regret the most in my life is when I met you on the official road that day. , not one sword will kill you."
His tone was gentle and tender, but when he said the last word, his eyes were full of terrifying murderous intent.
At that time, he had heard about Murong Fei's name for a long time, and he also heard that he was born in the year of dragon, and was about the same age as his younger brother, so he wanted to meet him. Unexpectedly, someone was obstructing it, and it wasted all his efforts. He got angry for a moment, and swung his sword to disable the young man's right hand.
Later, He Tingzhou thought countless times, if he had been more ruthless at that time and pierced Xu Feng's heart with a sword, naturally nothing would happen in the future.
Why didn't Xu Feng think so? So he said, "It's not too late if you kill me now."
He Tingzhou's face was as cold as ice, he stared at him, then burst out laughing, and said: "Okay!"
Then he stretched out his hand and strangled Xu Feng's neck.
He suffered serious internal injuries in the underground palace, but he still has the strength to kill, as long as he uses a little force in his hands, everything will be over.
That hand gradually tightened, Xu Feng didn't struggle, but closed his eyes. His eyes were gloomy, and he was a little breathless, but strangely, he didn't feel pain.
It was raining heavily outside.
Amidst the sound of rain, Xu Feng suddenly felt a lightness around his neck, and the hand holding his neck was loosened at some point, but it still lingered on his face. Xu Feng opened his eyes and saw that He Tingzhou was looking at him intently. At this moment, the murderous hand brushed his lips almost lingeringly, and finally landed gently on his temple.
He Tingzhou smiled slightly and said, "Brother Feng, do you really think I will kill you?"
He had never called him in such a tone.
Xu Feng thought vaguely, it has never happened before, and I am afraid it will never happen again in the future.
He Tingzhou's expression was surprisingly calm. He looked at Xu Feng for a while, then slowly withdrew his hand, then stood up slowly, and walked out of the cave step by step. When he passed the sword stuck on the ground, his eyes seemed to stay for a moment, but he finally walked out of the cave.
Xu Feng stared blankly at his back, only then did he wake up, and chased after him and said, "It's raining so hard, where are you going?"
The sound was quickly drowned out by the sound of rain.
He Tingzhou didn't even look back, and just walked into the heavy rain.
Xu Feng didn't know whether to chase or not, but when he turned around, he saw that the sword was still stuck on the ground. When he dragged He Tingzhou up from the lake earlier, the man was obviously unconscious, but he was still holding the sword tightly in his hand...
As soon as Xu Feng gritted his teeth, he finally drew his sword and stepped into the rain.
It rained non-stop.
The cold rain hit his body, and Xu Feng felt a sharp pain in the corner of his mouth. He didn't know where the rain was falling, and it seemed like he couldn't finish it, and he didn't know where to go next.
To find Murong Fei whose whereabouts are unknown? Or still go back to live in seclusion outside Jinling City
He was bewildered, and unknowingly followed behind He Tingzhou.
He Tingzhou's internal injuries have not yet healed, and his footsteps are a little sloppy, so he just walks in a meandering manner. Xu Feng also walked uncomfortably, keeping a distance from him all the time.
Because of the heavy rain, there were no pedestrians on the road. The two turned out of the forest and walked along the official road for a long time before they heard the sound of horseshoes. The horse came extremely fast, and within a short while, a carriage drove over. ?The carriage looks very ordinary, except for the sachets hanging from the four corners, which have been soaked by rain and are shaking slightly in the wind.
The carriage rushed to the front, only to hear the neighing of the horse, it actually stopped steadily. Then the curtain was lifted, and a young man in brocade jumped out of the car, shouting: "Palace Master!"
This young man had red lips and white teeth, and a slight dimple on his cheeks, which Xu Feng had seen outside Luofeng Manor a few days ago. It was raining heavily, and he didn't care about opening an umbrella, so he threw himself into He Tingzhou's arms and said, "The palace master has been away for a few days, why is there no news at all? It's just that a masked man got away, so why should you take it lightly?" In danger?"
He Tingzhou embraced his waist and asked, "Where is Liu Yue?"
"Of course I sent someone to look for you." The young man said with a smile, "But after all, it was I who had a heart-to-heart with the palace lord and told me to find you first."
As he spoke, he sized up Xu Feng with those wonderful eyes, and asked, "Who did the palace lord bring back?"
He Tingzhou walked all the way, and only then turned his head to look at Xu Feng.
The heavy rain had blurred their vision, and the two looked at each other from a distance, separated by such a rain curtain, it seemed like a vast mountain and river separated them, and they couldn't get over it after all.
Xu Feng remembered that when Zhou Yan kissed him for the first time, it was also raining like this. At that time, his elder brother Zhou said that nothing in heaven and morals can make you happy.
At this moment, He Tingzhou hugged the beautiful young man, and said in a low voice with a completely different tone: "This Shaoxia Xu... just met me by chance."
