"It's so strange, even for a black hearted person, the blood is red." Xu Lianyi sighed and seemed curious, and stretched out her blood-stained finger in front of the king to signal him to take a look too. "It's really interesting."
The king looked playfully at the blood on her fingertips, "His heart is also red."
"Really?" Xu Lianyi asked excitedly. "Then why don't we cut it out and have a look!"
Her expression was like that of a child who saw a favorite toy, and her watery eyes shone with a moving light.
The king said, "Okay."
Then they really dug out Master Xu's heart in front of the rest of the Xu family. Even the experienced guards were too frightened to speak by this bloody and cruel scene, but the king and Xu Lianyi did not dare to speak. Like an old friend who has known for a long time, commenting on the bright red heart.
"Since people's hearts are red no matter what, why is there such a word as black heart?" Xu Lianyi expressed her disappointment. "I thought someone like him would have a black heart."
Before the king could answer, she started talking to herself again: "What's the difference between a good person and a bad person?"
"My lord, what do you think is the difference between a good person and a bad person?"
The king narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't know." In his dictionary, people are people, and there is no distinction between good people and bad people. This world is for his pleasure, and whenever he sees those who intend to kill him in the name of justice, the king finds it stupid and ridiculous. This is the world of the winners, and the losers should be obedient slaves with low eyebrows.
Xu Lianyi threw away the heart in her hand, and pulled one of Mrs. Xu's sleeves to wipe it dirty, but the smell of blood is not so easy to wipe off, she sniffed it disgustingly, and felt a little disgusting-the smell was not enough Sweet, not to mention delicious.
"If I can live again in the future, I don't want to be a good person." Xu Lianyi murmured. "It's too sad to be a good person, always being bullied by others."
"Are you considered a good person?" the king asked with great interest.
"It used to be." Xu Lianyi searched for memories that he couldn't remember clearly. After staying in Wangchuanhe for too long, he forgot what he used to be like, but the heart that wanted to go back never ceased. It has not changed, and it has even become an obsession. Even if one day the soul flies away, it will not be ignored.
I want to go back, I want to go back so much. But if you go back, you will never be your past self.
"What was once?"
"It was a long, long time ago, and I don't remember it myself." Xu Lianyi smiled in a serious and frivolous manner. "I am different from the king, but in a certain way they are very similar. So the king really doesn't plan to keep me by his side? I will make your life very happy."
He had never heard anyone tell him that he wanted him to have a good time, so the king narrowed his eyes and let out an oh. "So confident, you are so different?"
"That's right." Xu Lianyi walked up to the king and squatted down, put her hands on his thighs, feeling the muscles under the clothes were as hard as iron, and she might not be able to slit his throat with the dagger in her hand at this moment. She put her small face on the back of her folded hands, and looked up at the king. "If you search all over the world, you will never find another me."
Hearing this, the king laughed out loud. With his smile, all the guards around turned pale, but Xu Lianyi laughed along with him. The two kinds of laughter, one deep and deep, the other crisp like a bell, intertwine in a strange harmony .
"Xu Lianyi!" Her husband died tragically, and Mrs. Xu was also afraid, but she still had two daughters to take care of, so she had to suppress the fear in her heart and climbed up to Xu Lianyi, not daring to approach, kowtowing: "In the past, it was I treated you wrong, if you want revenge, you can kill or cut whatever you want, but your two sisters are innocent, no matter what, they are your own sisters!"
She tried to persuade Xu Lianyi to be merciful to the two young ladies of the Xu family with blood ties, but to Xu Lianyi, she even killed Master Xu at will, so what could two young ladies of the Xu family be
"Nagging, it's very annoying." Xu Lianyi sighed in a low voice, not to mention that the two young ladies of the Xu family treated Xu Lianyi badly, even if they treated Xu Lianyi very well, what did it matter to her? How can you expect a ghost to have humanity
She raised her foot to kick Madam Xu away, then looked at her shoes with distaste, and pulled out the long sword from the guard's hand.
Xu Lianyi mentally simulated the distance between herself and the king, and it was not enough to hit a hit—then she gave up, Xu Lianyi was just a weak woman, with the strength of a kitten, it was difficult to pick up this long sword, and there were still others around. Kong Wu's powerful bodyguard, want to assassinate him? It's just a joke.
The moment she drew out her long sword, the guards were all under martial law, but the king raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Xu Lianyi smiled at them: "Why are you so nervous, I haven't done anything outrageous."
After finishing speaking, she pierced Miss Xu's jade hands with a sword, and then said to Mrs. Xu: "I heard that Miss Xu is slender and soft, and she is especially good at playing the piano. Play a beautiful music?" Lifting the long sword, Miss Xu was in pain, rolled her eyes and passed out.
She looked at Second Miss again. Second Miss was frightened to the point where her skirt was wet. The female ghost didn't have much memory of herself, but she knew Xu Lianyi very clearly. Wiping the floor, and then "accidentally" stepped on it, causing Xu Lianyi's hands to be almost useless. So even though Second Miss was already trembling with fright, she still didn't hesitate, she had a chance for revenge, if she couldn't seize it, what good would a woman's benevolence do to herself
She managed to get out of the Wangchuan River, even if the final price is to lose her soul, don't live by looking at other people's faces!
She had had enough of this long suffering, and she didn't want to fall into it any longer.
The second lady finally broke free from the state of being frightened and stupid. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the king to beg for mercy: "My lord! I know that I shouldn't send concubines into the palace at will to deceive the king. I beg the king to forgive me. My daughter is willing to enter." There is absolutely nothing wrong with serving the king in the palace, as a slave or a handmaiden, I just ask the king to agree to two conditions!"
"Oh?" The king seemed interested, but Xu Lianyi was the old god. She wasn't worried at all. For a man like the king, the appearance of a woman is secondary. Not to mention that the two prostitutes of the Xu family are not as good-looking as Xu Lianyi, they are a hundred times more beautiful than Xu Lianyi, because they dare not enter the palace to fool around at will because of fear, no matter how much they beg for mercy, the king will look down on them.
The tyrant's self-esteem was extremely strong, and he was also extremely conceited.
"What are the conditions, come and listen to the widow."
The second lady gave Xu Lianyi a resentful look: "First, please spare my mother and sister, and second, demote Xu Lianyi as a military prostitute!"
Before the king could speak, Xu Lianyi suddenly burst out laughing. Her laughter is naive and cruel, as if she has seen everything in the world, but she is not stained with dust, extremely vicious, but reveals a contradictory elegance.
The king also laughed, but did not speak. Xu Lianyi raised the sword and dropped it, and the second lady also fainted.
"Satisfied?" the king asked.
Xu Lianyi threw the long sword in her hand to the guard, but the sword was too heavy and she was too weak, so she didn't throw it and almost stumbled herself. She was a femme fatale one second, but she was stupid the next. This made the king feel a little ridiculous, so he just laughed out loud. Xu Lianyi glanced at the king and said, "Thank you for your success, Your Majesty."
The king snorted, got up and left, Xu Lianyi hurriedly followed behind. When she walked out of the flower hall, she looked back and left a moving smile for the only sober Mrs. Xu.
After catching up with the carriage, he was about to sit down cross-legged when he heard the king say, "Who will allow you to sit on an equal footing with the widow?"
Xu Lianyi stood up calmly, knelt down beside the king, and poured him wine. The aroma of the wine on the coffee table was tangy, and it was the first time that the king saw such a knowledgeable and interesting beauty. No matter he was laughing or cursing, he didn't panic, he wasn't afraid of him, but he kept the most ingenious distance. One couldn't help but want to strangle her.
"Lianyi is ignorant, Your Majesty, please don't blame me. This glass of wine can be regarded as Lianyi's apology for His Majesty." As she spoke, she raised the wine glass and drank it down. The exquisite facial features are really more delicate than flowers.
It's just that after drinking, her body naturally softened. Xu Lianyi's face was red and her ears were hot. Her mind was clear, but her body language was completely out of control.
If he was alive, he would be blamed for his appearance, but—what does it matter now? She was no longer the same as she was when she was alive. She had been dead for an unknown amount of time, and now that she could see the light of day again, she didn't want to think about anything, and she didn't want to take care of anything.
The king stretched out his hand, and hugged the delicate beauty into his arms. Xu Lianyi fell on the king's lap with blurred eyes, giggling. She wasn't actually drunk, but it's interesting to spend time with a man who doesn't have interest once in a while when a beauty is drunk.
She held the king's face with her two small hands—it was probably the first time in her life that this arrogant and brutal man was touched like this, and she was even a little stunned. Xu Lianyi smiled and said, "You know, I'm actually not Xu Lianyi."
"Oh." Knowing that she might be drunk, the king asked casually. "then who are you?"
"I don't remember my name." Xu Lianyi squinted her eyes, because most of the weight rested on the king, so her two little feet were dangling in the air. "I don't want to remember it either. What's the point of remembering such a shameful thing?"
"shame?"
"That's right, you said, this person is really strange. He obviously doesn't remember it, but he still can't forget the feeling of humiliation, despair and resentment." Xu Lianyi murmured in a low voice. Your Majesty is not a brat, he kills and decides to rule the world, so how can he be a fool? This kind of heaven's favored son, even if some monster wants to harm him, he will not be able to do so. So she looks drunk, but she is telling the truth. "One day, if I can go back, I will definitely let them—all pay with blood."
"I don't want to be an ethereal duckweed anymore, I can only rely on others to live."
The king stroked her cloud-like long hair and said, "As long as you are ruthless, nothing can stop you."
"Yes, as long as I'm ruthless." Xu Lianyi repeated, she looked at the king obsessively, as if looking at someone through him, but soon smiled again. "When the king speaks like this, Lianyi can't help but want to give this heart to you."
"The widow doesn't believe in those things." The slender hands can easily break the neck of an adult, but at this moment the movement of stroking Xu Lianyi is too gentle, "The widow will grasp everything he wants in his hands."
It doesn't matter if you have everything you want in your hands, even if you are an enemy of the whole world. Xu Lianyi laughed when she heard it. If she could understand this truth earlier, she wouldn't end up jumping into the Wangchuan River in the end.
She really can't remember too much, but she doesn't think it's deceiving. She can still feel the pain of her life, which turned into hoarse despair on the bridge of Naihe. But thinking about it now, why bother so much
After saying that, the king closed his eyes and rested his mind. Xu Lianyi didn't speak any more, lying on his lap, the king's words had an impact on her, but it wasn't enough to counteract her desire to kill him.
If you can go back, then anyone and everything in front of you must be eradicated.
Back in the palace, the first thing the king does is to take a bath. Although he advocates violence, he loves cleanliness. Every time he kills someone, he has to take a bath to wash away the bloody smell from his body.
In the past, there was a maid who waited on her specially, but today the king asked Xu Lianyi to serve her by name.
In fact, she doesn't know how to serve people, so she is a bit clumsy when doing things, and because she has been in the Wangchuan River for too long, she is very vigilant and is extremely easy to wake up. After possessing Xu Lianyi, because I have to sleep because of my body, but I can't change the habit of waking up at the slightest sign of trouble.
Today, the world is unified, but it was not like this a few years ago. The king was away all year round. Although he was irritable at that time, he was not as bloodthirsty as he is now. The world that is too peaceful is not suitable for a man like him. He loves blood and fighting, killing others or being killed by others is his destiny.
Even now, he still has many scars on his body, countless sword wounds, etc., and there is a huge power hidden under the strong and hard muscles-this is something that Xu Lianyi's body cannot resist. She is like a limp bird in front of him. Although the little rabbit is poisonous, it is not worth mentioning to a powerful person.
"I don't even have the strength to rub my back." The king said disgustedly. In fact, Xu Lianyi had already tried his best to nurse, but he still didn't feel any pain or itching. Xu Lianyi responded and changed her plan in her mind. It was too difficult to kill the king, and she had to hit it with one blow, otherwise she might be the last one to die.
She is different from these people, they can be reincarnated after they die, but if she dies, they will go back to the Wangchuan River and never return to their own world.
She will never allow such a thing to happen!
Because she was really strong, the king impatiently grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the pool. Xu Lianyi drank two mouthfuls of bath water in a muffled voice, and nearly choked to death. Her delicate face flushed with anger, and she looked up at the king angrily.
The flaming eyes stunned the king, and Xu Lianyi immediately saw his gloomy face, which might be trying to gouge out his rebellious eyeballs. She was able to bend and stretch, and immediately leaned against him: "I can I don't want to drink the bath water anymore."
"Hmph, can anyone drink the widow's bath water?" The king snorted coldly, and slapped the water with his big palm, causing a huge splash of water. Xu Lianyi's clothes were already wet, but now his face was full It's full of water, but the culprit showed a smug expression, like a child's embarrassed expression, clearly saying, the widow is the biggest, can you control it
Xu Lianyi was so angry that she reached out to pinch him with great force, but it was a pity that the king's muscles were too hard to have any effect at all.
The king hummed and said, "That's the strength, do it again. If you can't do it well, the widow will cut off your head."
Opening her mouth and beheading her head, closing her mouth and beheading her, Xu Lianyi gave him a blank look where he couldn't see, and really rubbed him vigorously. When the service was over, she was almost exhausted. It's not like fighting with ghosts to devour each other. Exhausted, the body of a living person is too difficult to control.
If you go back in this state, let alone revenge, it will be difficult to even protect yourself.
While waiting for the king to change his pajamas, Xu Lianyi suddenly had a whimsical idea: "I heard that the king is highly skilled in martial arts and born with supernatural powers. Is this true?"
The king glanced at her lazily: "Of course it is true."
Xu Lianyi smiled flatteringly: "Then I wonder if the king is willing to teach the little girl a thing or two?"
"You? Xuewu?" The king seemed to have heard some funny joke. He curled his thin lips slightly, "It's already past that age." The figure is thin and thin, and can be blown away by a gust of wind. He almost fell down with a sword, but such a weak woman told him that she wanted to learn martial arts.
"I'm not afraid of hardship." Xu Lianyi hugged the king's arm. She is really not afraid of the other party, she is not pretending, and she has already recognized the other party's personality, so her speech is straightforward and not sloppy. If you feel inferior in front of the king, how can you expect him to treat you as a human being
Tyrants are indeed tyrants, but tyrants are not incapable of living in peace. Xu Lianyi is selfish, she can't think of anyone but herself, so as long as the king doesn't kill her, she doesn't care about anything. And if she could get something from the king, then she would naturally be happier.
"oh?"
"Your Majesty is full of martial arts skills, don't you want to accept an apprentice? I will be a very good apprentice." Xu Lianyi boasted shamelessly, smiling like a blooming smile on her small face.
She wasn't sure what she would be like when she went back, so the most important thing was to protect herself first.
She doesn't want to be in pain anymore.
The king saw her pleading while licking her face, pinched her nose with two slender fingers, and said, "Really?"
"yes."
Right now Xu Lianyi is very interested in her appetite, and there is nothing to do in the near future, so the king nodded and said: "Well, this is what you asked the widow, if you dare to go back on your word, don't blame the widow—"
"Chop off my head." Xu Lianyi answered quickly, and then agreed: "Okay, okay, if I can't do it, the king can just chop off my head."
He said with a sweet smile.
Seeing her so happy, the king smiled so much that her little face turned into a flower, and a sweet taste surged in his heart. He didn't like this feeling of uncontrollable emotions, so he simply grabbed Xu Lianyi onto the bed and untied her. The gauze on her body said: "We will talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow. Tonight, you should know what to do to make the widow happy."
"Of course." Xu Lianyi stretched out her arms very cooperatively. From the moment she entered the palace, she knew that this kind of thing would come sooner or later. Chastity was not worth much to her, it was just a bargaining chip. If giving your body to the king can make the other party trust you more, why not do it
Only by being true and false can you gain the trust of others wholeheartedly. She doesn't want the king's sincerity, but wants his life.
So the hibiscus tent was warm, and the spring night was all night.
The next morning, Xu Lianyi was still asleep, so he was woken up by the king. He didn't mean to be sympathetic at all. Since Xu Lianyi himself said that he wanted to learn martial arts, then it's nothing to suffer, right? Xu Lianyi, who just broke the melon last night, was full of plans. She was only in her teens, and she was still very weak, but she insisted on holding herself up like this, squatting on the horse and standing on the plum blossom pile without blinking.
It is also bitter and tiring, but compared to Wang Chuan, these are nothing. She had to protect herself before she could do what she wanted to do.
At the beginning, the king just thought it was fun, and watching the beauties of Jiao Didi put on their strong clothes and practice martial arts has a special charm, which is much more beautiful than those singing and dancing. But as time passed, he found that Xu Lianyi really wanted to become stronger, which was the reason why he changed his mind and started teaching her.
In the eyes of the world, he is a cruel and innocent tyrant, but in front of Xu Lianyi, he is more like an impatient but tolerant elder brother.
Although - every night, Xu Lianyi has to pay the price for it.
Three months later, Xu Lianyi still had that weak and pleasant appearance, but her body was much healthier, and she was even able to fight the king twice. She and the king are both of the same kind, they don't have fancy moves, they pay attention to one-hit kills. Because whether it is in the Wangchuan River or on the battlefield, no one will look at your gorgeous appearance, and if you are careless, you will die. In order to protect yourself, it is inevitable to be cruel.
These three months are probably also the happiest three months for the concubines in the harem. You don't have to worry about who will serve the king, and you don't have to worry about whether you can survive tomorrow. The concubine was jealous of Xu Lianyi, and even matched Xu Lianyi's sisters. She wished that Xu Lianyi could stay by the king's side for the rest of her life.
It's just that even with Xu Lianyi's company, the king is still cruel. If there was any dissatisfaction in the court, someone's head would be beheaded. He just killed fewer people and had a milder temper. To him, Xu Lianyi fascinated him like war.
But Xu Lianyi was not moved at all, she was silently waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that would allow her to complete the task and leave this world.
