"Why, shy? Don't worry, I will be very light, and I promise not to hurt you." He said softly, but the man's hand held Shang Jun's chin mercilessly, turning his face around, strong His finger strength left a streak of blue and purple on his face, and the man's eyes were full of evil and happiness.
The man's face approached again, and Shang Jun's hands and feet were chained with iron chains, unable to move at all. Unwilling to be humiliated, Shang Jun gritted his teeth and used all his strength to hit the man in white with his forehead. The man had expected that he would not compromise so easily, so he dodged lightly and ducked. Holding Shang Jun's throat with his hand, the man in white sneered, "How fierce, but I like it."
"What do you want?" Shang Jun knew that men would not be interested in him who was bloody, just to humiliate him, and the most unbearable thing for him was this kind of humiliation.
"You tell me where Long Yihai and Qin Xiuzhi are hiding, and I'll give you a treat. Otherwise..." The man's hand hooked the cloth on Shang Jun's chest again.
Hiding place? If they were smart enough, they should have left where they were, but what if they didn't? At that time, not only Long Yihai and Xiuzhi will be captured, but also San'er and Xiao Shishu. He can't take risks.
Shang Jun didn't answer for a long time, the man didn't have such good patience, he snorted coldly: "Don't say it? It's fine."
Only the sound of torn cloth strips was heard, and a bundle of cloth was easily torn off by the man. The forefinger hooked the cloth strip, shook it in front of Shang Jun, and then dropped it at his feet. Because of the whiplash on his chest, many bundles of cloth had already been embedded in the flesh, and every time it was pulled, it was excruciatingly painful. Shang Jun could not feel the pain, the endless humiliation had drowned him, and every strand of cloth that fell was his dignity. Shang Jun wanted to scream loudly, but he couldn't, that would only make his enemies even more mad and proud. At this moment, letting him die is the greatest gift.
He still refused to say it, the white clothed man's eyes darkened, he lost his patience, and grabbed Shang Jun's front.
Shang Jun took a deep breath and decided to break the meridians and cut himself off. At this time, a low roar came from outside the door: "Stop!"
The man in white was stunned for a moment, squinting to see who was coming, he seemed to be more interested in this person, he let go of Shang Jun, the man in white put his hands around his chest, smiled and said, "What kind of wind is it today, blowing you to me? coming."
Shang Jun breathed a sigh of relief. After many days of torture, his eyes were already blurred, and he could only vaguely see a tall figure walking towards him. He was dressed in black, almost blending into the dark room. The man's feet were somewhat disabled, and he walked extremely slowly. Even so, his aggressive aura was still unrecognizable.
Who is this person
The man finally walked in front of Shang Jun. He had eyes as sharp as swords and cold as ice. At this moment, he was staring at him with complex rays of light. Shang Jun shook his head gently, so that he could see more clearly, a familiar face came into view, Shang Jun widened his eyes in shock, "Is it you?"
You Xiao.
It's him, the scars on his cheeks are still as clear, but when we meet again, the evil spirit in his eyes is even stronger, isn't he dead? Shang Jun was full of doubts. He just stared at Shang Jun coldly, and didn't reply, but the man in white was excited and said, "By the way, why did I forget, you are also old acquaintances."
Approaching Shang Jun, the man in white raised Shang Jun's chin and sneered: "You didn't expect that he is actually a woman."
You Xiao suddenly shot, and punched the man in white mercilessly at the wrist. The man was not surprised, took a step back, and dodged the punch. You Xiao didn't fight, and said in a cold voice, "You'd better not touch him."
The man in white raised his eyebrows slightly and laughed loudly: "So he is yours? But I heard that the old man wants him to die. You, the eagle dog, want to rebel?" Shang Jun glanced, You Xiaocai was really Long Chimu's eagle dog.
You Xiao's eyes darkened and he hummed, "Don't use him to press me."
The man in white was leaning his back against the stone wall, concealed by a mask, so he couldn't see his expression, and his tone was full of disdain, "I'm not interested in pressing you, it's because you take the old man too seriously." After living for more than 20 years, just for the old man A word of affirmation, asking for hardships.
Unconsciously clenching his hands into fists, You Xiao roared, "My business has nothing to do with you."
"Okay!" The man in white became impatient and scolded, "But this is not a place for you to be wild, you can get out."
You Xiao ignored him and stood in front of Shang Jun, the light in his eyes was intriguing.
As far as he knew, there was a festival between You Xiao and Shang Jun. Today, it seems that he misunderstood. A calculation flashed in the eyes of the man in white, and he said with a smile: "You want him? Yes, the old man agrees, I will let him go."
You Xiao looked at him in disbelief: "When did you become so good?"
The man in white shrugged and continued to provoke You Xiao, "I learned from you!" In fact, whether or not to let him go depends on his mood. It's just that he is very interested to see if You Xiao will disobey the old man for the sake of Shang Jun, it must be a wonderful show.
Not waiting for You Xiao to get angry, the man in white smiled in a good mood: "It doesn't prevent you from reminiscing about the old days, I'll wait for your good news." After speaking, he stepped out of the stone room leisurely.
Several men in black in the stone room looked at each other, wondering if they should go out. However, You Xiao was one step ahead of them, grabbed the man holding the iron whip, lifted the back of his neck, and kicked him on top of his vest. The man in black's clothes were left in You Xiao's hands, and the man rolled out of the stone room. You Xiao reprimanded: "Get out of here!"
The two people in the dark room immediately ran out.
Putting clothes on Shang Jun's chest indiscriminately, You Xiao couldn't tell how he felt at this time. Hearing the report of his subordinates, Shang Jun was caught by Yan Luo, and he ran over without thinking. Whipping him like this and teaching him a lesson, isn't that what he has been thinking about for a long time? But what is he doing now
Shang Jun sighed lowly: "You're not dead." At that time, when he heard the news of You Xiao's death, he sighed with emotion.
You Xiao's hand froze, he just wanted him to die so badly? Withdrawing his hand, You Xiao replied coldly, "Are you disappointed?"
Shang Jun smiled lightly and did not return to him.
Staring at Shang Jun's beautiful face, You Xiao whispered: "You are a woman." Why did he fight so many times, he didn't notice it at all, he just thought that women shouldn't be as resolute as him, Or rather, arrogant
Slowly raising his head, Shang Jun returned his words to him: "Are you disappointed?"
"It's very disappointing." You Xiao was a little irritable, "You gave me no chance to fight you fairly, and it's no fun to win you."
Shang Jun is a woman, the opponent who he once thought could arouse his desire to fight, the best enemy in this life, is actually a woman. So, what else is fighting between him and him? Why not disappoint
Does it make sense to win? The anger in Shang Jun's heart rose faintly, and he hummed: "How dare you say that your defeated general is brave!"
Shang Jun kept his head down because of pain and fatigue. Shang Jun's words originally stimulated You Xiao, and his lowered head made You Xiao misunderstand that he was looking at his disabled foot. After being plotted by Xuanyuan Yi, he fell down the mountain stream. Although his life was recovered, the meridian of his right foot was completely destroyed. This stump leg was the most painful in his heart.
At this time, being mentioned by Shang Jun as his defeated general was hitting You Xiao's self-esteem. The anger and grief in his heart made You Xiao lose his mind, and his hand suddenly grabbed Shang Jun's neck and slowly tightened it.
The iron claw between his throat caught Shang Jun so that he could not breathe. Looking coldly at You Xiao's crazy eyes, Shang Jun whispered with difficulty: "You can use a little more force, I may- I will die faster."
Shang Jun's broken voice and flushed face finally made You Xiao regain his senses. Withdrawing his hand hastily, You Xiao turned his back, gasping for breath, he almost killed him, why did he let go, why did his heart beat chaotic, why did his hands tremble.
"Shangjun, you really deserve to be damned!" With only a sigh and a curse-like whisper left, You Xiao rushed out without looking back.
However, Shang Jun no longer had the energy to distinguish the complex emotions behind these words, his eyes darkened, and he passed out.
Royal study.
You Xiao waited in front of the hall. He didn't know how long he had been standing. The emperor had never summoned him, so he could only wait.
He himself didn't understand why he came, the feet seemed to have their own consciousness, interceding for an enemy, why
Seeing him for the first time, he escaped his trap and provoked him.
The second time I saw him, he sabotaged his assassination plan, tricked his acupuncture points and humiliated him.
The third time I saw him, I wanted to have a good fight, but fell into the ice ditch. At that time, he finally knew that his name was Shang Jun.
The fourth time I saw him was in the main tent of the army, and he left this indelible mark on his face.
the fifth time…
Touching the scar on his cheek, You Xiao froze. He remembered every time they fought and everything about him, just because Shang Jun was the biggest enemy and the best opponent in his heart, right? In the dark room, the bloody figures flashed in his mind, and You Xiao's heart twitched for no reason. Yes, it's not heartache, it's not worry, it's convulsions, like being screwed tightly, weird.
His mood suddenly became irritable, and the person he had been waiting for for a long time, the bright yellow figure finally came out of the hall. You Xiao hurried up to meet him, half-kneeled and saluted, "I see the emperor."
Glancing at the person who was half-kneeling on the ground, Long Chimu said indifferently, "What's the matter?" He still hasn't left
After thinking for a while, You Xiao still spoke: "There is one thing, I want to—"
Before You Xiao could finish speaking, Long Chimu's majestic voice had already sounded: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't waste my time."
You Xiao suppressed the pain in his eyes, and replied coldly: "Yan Hao caught that person, I think I should let him go first, and after so many days of torture, there is no result. It's better to let him go and follow him, maybe there is more to it. Big gain."
"That Shangjun, he's not dead yet?" He had already issued a death order, but Yan Xun actually let him live. Thinking of Yan Luo's cold and evil personality, Long Chimu felt displeased and his tone became more and more pressing, "Shangjun is a dangerous person, his identity is unknown, his martial arts are strong, he is also the owner of the Misty Villa, and he has a complicated relationship with the Xiao family and the Murong family. , and messed with Long Yihai again, and letting him go is simply letting the tiger return to the mountain."
"But he's also a good pawn, and—"
"Enough." Interrupting You Xiao again, Long Chimu replied impatiently, "I have already handed over this matter to Yan Hao, you can just take care of yourself." After speaking, Long Chimu suddenly remembered What is it, he continued, "There is also the matter of the Iron Armored Army, you don't have to ask about it in the future."
You Xiao froze, stood up slowly, stared at that indifferent and emotionless face, his always cold voice trembled, "Just because I'm a lame man now, I'm useless to you?" He has always known his usefulness, and now, he is useless and can be kicked away, right
Obviously, You Xiao never disobeyed Long Chimu's intentions. As soon as he said this, Long Chimu was stunned, but soon, he frowned and said angrily, "You'd better keep your identity in mind at all times."
"Identity?" You Xiao suddenly sneered. For the first time, he looked squarely at the face he had always looked up to, and said what he had wanted to say for years but dared not, with a bit of hatred, a bit of provocation, and a bit of determination, "What's my identity? His servant, or his son!"
Snapped!
A loud slap sounded along with a fury, "Go away! I don't want to see you again!"
His cheeks were aching, and his right ear was roaring. You Xiao's cold eyes were stained with mist, and he quietly watched the bright yellow figure leave with rage and majesty. He walked resolutely, almost unwilling to look at him again, no nostalgia, also, for him, it was like driving away a useless dog, what is there to be nostalgic
"Hey." On the roof of the side hall, a white shadow was sitting, shaking a red folding fan in one hand and holding a pot of wine in the other. The black iron mask glowed with silver light under the night light, adding a bit of wickedness. The sigh seemed to be absent, somewhat gloating. Closing the fan in his hand, Yan Xun played with it and said with a smile, "You didn't know him until today, so why bother making fun of yourself. It's been more than 20 years, you've been tireless and I've been tired. However, today you didn't let me down. I'm so disappointed." At least he dared to question the old man, which is really rare! The charm of that businessman is not small.
You Xiao was in a bad mood, these jokes were enough to detonate his anger. When entering the palace, you couldn't bring weapons, so You Xiao picked up a stone and threw it at Yan Hui with the strength of his wrists.
Yan Wei was slightly startled, and immediately flashed sideways, but unfortunately the jug in his hand was hit by a stone, and the spirits spilled on the ground, soaking his white robe. There was a look of rage in Yan Luo's eyes, he dropped the jug, and said coldly, "Want to fight? You have never been my opponent, let alone you are still lame."
The word "crippled" is definitely You Xiao's death point at the moment, full of unwillingness and anger that cannot be vented, he jumped up and flew to the roof. Above the main hall of the imperial city, two figures, one black and one white, were fighting back and forth, fighting fiercely, but soon, the outcome was decided. Yan Luo punched hard, hitting You Xiao's temple violently, causing You Xiao to quickly fall to the side. On top of the sloping rubble, You Xiao's feet were unstable and he fell straight down.
Standing on the roof, staring coldly at the man on the ground, Yan Luo said arrogantly, "You Xiao, you are doing your own fault." After speaking, Bai Ying rose and fell a few times and disappeared within the imperial city.
He fell heavily on the hard slate, and You Xiao's forehead smashed a bloody hole. The blood ran along his forehead and flowed into his eyes, drop by drop on the slate. Those red eyes went from pain to silence to numbness.
…
Misty Mountain Villa is another courtyard.
The midsummer sunset is still like a burning fireball, dazzling red. Even if Mu Yun tried his best to bury it, it was still hard to beat its light and heat, coating the originally pale sea of clouds with a golden glow. The thorn bushes in summer are green and lush, and under the brilliance of the sunset, they are actually covered with red light, which is different from the thorn red in the harsh winter, but it is also a different scene.
The entrance hall of the flower hall in the backyard is facing this thorn bush. Shang Xiao looked at the scenery in front of him and couldn't help but think of their home. There, there is also a piece of such thorns, every summer evening, she and her sister will enjoy the shade in the flowers. The more he remembered the happy times, the more uncontrollable Shang Xiao's tears became, he looked up hard at the sky, just to keep the tears from falling, and cursed incessantly: "Xiao Zongqing is a liar at all, if you have any news, let me know. We have been around for ten days now, he doesn't even have a shadow, and the silent door has disappeared, what is this? It's unreliable!"
Pei Che put his arms around Shang Xiao's shoulder and coaxed softly, "Xiao'er, Shao'an, don't be impatient." He knew that such comfort was ineffective, but they really tried their best to investigate, but their opponents were too strong.
Sure enough, for this kind of comfort, Shang Xiao was already numb and even annoyed, and he was almost yelling: "What a bastard! Don't be impatient! After so many days, maybe my brother he-" did not dare to say any guesses in his heart With the word of worry, Shang Xiao closed his mouth. Just as Yu Feng came back in a hurry, Shang Xiao immediately greeted him and asked anxiously, "Yu Feng, have you checked for so long, do you have any clues? I can't wait like this any longer, I'll go crazy!"
Facing Shang Xiao's eager eyes, Yu Feng lowered his head slightly and sighed, "Miss, we have done our best to investigate, but we really don't know much about the Haotian Alliance. But now the whole city is under martial law, every day. Soldiers searched from house to house. It is estimated that the master should have fallen into the hands of the court, and we are looking for this."
Every day is the same answer, still checking. Shang Xiao lowered his shoulders weakly, "How long will the investigation take?"
Shang Xiao's loneliness is not a taste in everyone's eyes. Long Yihai couldn't help but persuaded: "Miss Shang, don't worry too much, as long as the court fails to find what they want, the life of Mr. Shang should be safe." Lord Shang is indeed a genius. Behind this courtyard, There is actually a backyard hidden behind the strange formation. The officers and soldiers searched the other courtyard several times, but they did not find it.
But after so long, Shang Xiao really didn't dare to think about it any more, she was about to collapse. Every day, I am afraid of the sunrise and sunset, maybe she is really not strong enough. Staring blankly at the sunset that was about to disappear on the horizon, Shang Xiao hugged his body tightly, shaking involuntarily.
"Miss! Miss!" A series of hurried footsteps broke the stagnant atmosphere in the flower hall. For the first time, Wei Xi's voice was so excited, even a little flustered.
Shang Xiao and Yu Feng looked at each other, their hearts were stunned, they couldn't bear any more blows. In the end, Yu Feng greeted him and asked, "Wei Xi, what's the matter?"
With a look of surprise or excitement on his face, Wei Xi grabbed Yu Feng's arm and replied, "Look, who's here."
Wei Xi, who has always been calm, with an unusual expression, made several people in the flower hall get up and walk out of the house.
From far to near, two people, a man and a woman, both wearing bamboo hats, came to the thorns under the golden light. The black veil separated the face, and the appearance could not be seen clearly. The woman was wearing a blue robe, with ink silk reaching the ground, and the man was standing in a silver silk plain robe. The man always gently supported the woman, and the two walked all the way, like a beautiful picture, regardless of their appearance.
Seeing the woman walking by, Shang Xiao's whole body trembled even more. Pei Che also stared at these two people in a trance, always feeling very familiar. Long Yihai was a little inexplicable, what was the origin of these two people, which made them look so abnormal, doubtful in their hearts, and took a step forward.
As the two approached, the woman walked straight to Shang Xiao, lifted her hat, and a plain face appeared in front of everyone, and a clear voice sounded softly: "Xiao Xiao."
"Sister Shu Qing—"
Seeing these warm eyes and an elegant smile again, Shang Xiao couldn't hold back the fear and helplessness that he had been feeling for days, so he threw himself into Shu Qing's arms and cried bitterly.
