It's raining.
The rain in the middle of the night came suddenly and violently, as if the sky had been toppled over and the sea was poured down, and tens of thousands of small streams gathered on the ground in an instant.
Pei Yuan came out from the main hall, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and wading back to her "Lanting Residence" under the service of a maid. I used my oil coat to protect it carefully all the way, but the lamp was still blown by a sudden gust of rain and wind, and went out.
Before the maid had time to plead guilty, Pei Yuan slapped her backhand, the sharp nails cut bright red marks on the maid's face, blood ran down, but the child didn't dare to cry, hugging the lamp and huddled in the rain.
"Stupid! I can't even take care of a single lamp!" Pei Yuan raised her eyes to see the dark and stormy sky, a burst of irritability came over her for no reason, she frowned and covered her cloak, and quickly walked into her secluded yard.
"You are not allowed to come on the porch, don't dirty my place." Pei Yuan hates being disturbed by people and has a cleanliness habit. He even chooses the cleanest and most elegant Lantingju as his residence. He responded in a low voice, and retreated far away to the corridor.
Outside the door is a storm that beats the earth like a whip from the gods, and inside the door is the silent darkness with no fluctuations.
Pei Yuan went to push the door.
Amidst the creaking sound, the door slowly opened, Pei Yuan's eyes drooped casually, and suddenly saw a faint trace of water on the wooden floor.
With a movement in his heart, Pei Yuan reacted extremely quickly, and immediately flew back.
However, it was too late.
"Crack!"
There was a flash of white light in the darkness, and a faint black shadow rushed out and stabbed with a knife. The knife was silent, swift as lightning, and in just a split second, it was at Pei Yuan's face!
"Chi."
The subtle sound of flesh and blood being sliced open rang in Pei Yuan's ears thrillingly. She only felt a coldness and pain on her left forehead, and then her left eyes turned red with blood.
The bright red blocked her sight, Pei Yuan couldn't see who was ambushing her in the dark, she only knew that the only way to save her life was to save herself at this moment, she gritted her teeth and endured the pain, Pei Yuan pulled out the long sword with a choke, and the tip of the sword shook away The sky is full of starry light, the radiance is dazzling, and in this emergency, she even used the treasured sword technique "Sword of the Sky" that her master secretly passed to her at the bottom of the box.
The other party seemed to know that this sword technique is powerful, so he didn't take it hard, turned around, and slid out of her side like a fish. With a pain, blood poured down like a spring, and a waterfall of blood emerged from the sky, obscuring the last bit of her clear vision.
The knife of fierce killing is as fast as thunder, and the attack with anger is as sharp as lightning.
In an instant, the other party quickly and accurately drew a cross on Pei Yuan's face.
Her eyes were soaked by the rushing blood, she couldn't see anything, Pei Yuan couldn't control her sword anymore, the tearing pain on her face made her furious, she didn't know how bad the two blows on her face were, but from Judging from the amount of bleeding, this face must have been destroyed. The opponent's attack was vicious and cruel, and it seemed that he had a deep hatred with him.
Stunning women always value appearance more than life, Pei Yuan is in pain at this moment, she just feels that she is unwilling to give up if she doesn't kill this person, so she simply ignores the two wounds, swipes the horizontal sword, wipes the blood from the palm onto the sword, and the sword Red rays of light protruded from the body, flowing strangely like blood in the darkness. In the flowing red, foam like crab eyes gradually appeared, a little colorful, like countless poisonous spiders, crawling on the sword body, looking up It's toothache.
At this time, if there were any descendants of the royal family of the Taiyuan Dynasty present, they would have shouted out in amazement, "Sacrificing Blood", a secret divine skill of the royal family, now that Pei Yuan uses it, it is a desperate attempt to break the net.
She wanted to go all out, but the other party might not be willing. When the man saw the strange red light, he immediately rushed out without saying a word, kicked the toe of his boot on the door frame, and turned away from the range of the red light, black in the rainstorm. The figure was like an eagle or a harrier, and it flew three feet away before disappearing into the wall-like rain curtain.
Pei Yuan flicked his sword and chased after her. Her miraculous skills were complete, her feet were lifted as fast as lightning, and the long sword in her palm was as bright as two feet. Almost as long as she raised her hand, she could reach the back of the shadow immediately.
However, when he was about to lift it, he suddenly felt something slippery passing by, causing a small wind, and then his finger hurt, and the long sword fell to the ground.
Shocked, Pei Yuan thought there were enemies in the room, so he desperately opened his eyes wide to look, but in his blood-red field of vision, he could only vaguely see a round shadow, appearing and disappearing in an instant.
Immediately, his feet went limp, as if he tripped over something, Pei Yuan staggered.
The numbness and itchiness of the two scars on his face started to break out at this moment, as if countless bugs were crawling in the wounds. Shocked, Pei Yuan didn't care to go all out, and hurried to touch the scars, but the more they touched, the more itchy, she was covered in blood red. I couldn't see anything, so I screamed in anxiety, "Come here! Come here! Get me some water! Call the imperial doctor, call the imperial physician!!!"
Nothing happened.
Those maids who rushed to the rainy ground just now because she was afraid of polluting the ground still held the extinguished lights and looked at her dullly and indifferently.
They stood dumbly in the rain, looking at the normally noble and domineering woman, her long hair was loose in the rainstorm, her face was covered with blood, she opened her arms and called sadly in the paulownia corridor, two scars crossed her face It made a ferocious fork, blood dripped from the sharp strokes, and dripped down the corridor she never allowed anyone to enter, staining the bright and clean ground with bloody stains.
"Come here... come here..."
No one moved, no one spoke, these low-level maidservants who witnessed the massacre just now stood in the rain almost coldly.
The heavy rain was blown into pieces of crystal walls by the wind, which cut off their hateful eyes from the long days of devastation.
"Come... people... ah..."
Pei Yuan's screams were drowned out by the sound of the rainstorm, and gradually faded to silence. She ran wildly on the corridor, but got further scars because she bumped into the pillars every now and then. The itching on her face became more and more intense, but her strength was gradually exhausted. .
The rain seeped in from the deep red curtain hanging on the corridor, making the color like blood. Behind the rain curtain, Pei Yuan, who was bathed in blood in red, spun around, screaming, and gradually fell limp.
Her body fell on the steps, her black hair fell down to the rainy ground on the porch, winding like a snake in the watery ground, her hand was trying to reach forward, as if trying to reach a hope to escape from the nightmare.
But it's never enough.
The night is still young, and the wind and thunder are like anger.
A moan of incomprehension and pain resounded in the rumbling thunder.
"You...why...don't save me..."
