Yang Xiao thought for a while and felt that the situation was not good, so he immediately said in a deep voice: "This matter is not trivial. We must report this matter to my father as soon as possible!"
Fei Ge sent a letter to bring the news back to Bianjing, but did not receive a reply from Emperor Bian. The war broke out at any time, and Yang Zhen and Yang Xiao were both a little anxious. They sent several letters in succession to inquire about the Holy Will, but there was still no news. Until many days later, on the official road at the entrance of the territory, a team of about a thousand people suddenly came, surrounding a luxurious carriage. The person who came was none other than the Emperor of Bian State, who was traveling incognito.
When the Yukou camp received the news, everyone was shocked and quickly lined up to welcome the Holy Master.
.
With no time to take into account the hard work of traveling for many days, the emperor and everyone went straight into the camp, sat on the throne, and then said in a deep voice: "How has the situation at Fengtong Pass changed?"
Yang Zhen stepped forward and replied in a deep voice: "At present, Dingguo seems to be aiming to strengthen military defense, and no further actions have been found for the time being. After receiving the news, I immediately ordered Yu Shihe and General to lead 10,000 elite troops to Feng Tongguan, just in case.”
The emperor said "Hmm" and nodded. Su Li stood aside and looked at him silently. At this moment, the emperor's vicissitudes of life showed fatigue. It was at least a month's journey and he arrived so quickly. It was obviously because of the current situation. Extremely nervous.
"Sheng Guo proposed peace talks, has His Majesty made a decision in his mind?" Yang Zhen asked immediately. It has been many days since Sheng Guo submitted the peace negotiation, but he still has not responded.
The emperor frowned and was silent for a while. Looking at everyone who didn't answer, he asked: "What do you think should be done?"
Everyone looked at each other and saw the difficult information in each other's eyes. Originally, the only enemy in this war was Shengguo, but now Dingguo is also ready to make a move, which is indeed a bit tricky.
"Your Majesty, I believe that a truce should be negotiated." When no one answered, Su Li slowly spoke.
"Why?" the emperor said calmly.
The woman behind the silver mask had a calm and indifferent expression, and her voice was neither urgent nor impetuous. She just explained the situation clearly: "Now the world is divided into three parts. The Sheng Kingdom has the strongest military force, the Ding Kingdom has the strongest financial resources, and in these two aspects, the Bian Kingdom has the strongest military power. Slightly less, our greatest advantage is our rich combat experience and unparalleled bravery. However, we are not suitable for long-term operations, let alone one versus two."
"What do you mean? Are we, Bian State, still afraid of them?" General Yu was dissatisfied with what Su Li said and angrily retorted, "They want to negotiate peace? Why?"
Su Li said lightly: "I think that smart people should adapt to the current situation and choose the side that is most beneficial to themselves. The reason for stopping the war is not to be afraid of them, but more importantly to gain more and more benefits for themselves. Favorable conditions, I will choose the best time to achieve my goal in the future... Ahem." Before she could finish her words, her heart suddenly felt a dull pain, and she couldn't help but frown secretly. Ever since Aunt Jingwan transferred all the internal energy into her body, the two internal forces of Fuyun Sutra and Chengfeng have never been able to fully integrate. Not long ago, when she was in a critical situation, she had two shocking bursts of power, which accidentally damaged her inner Qi, causing her Qi and blood to become unstable from time to time.
The emperor was originally listening intently, but when he saw Su Li suddenly feeling unwell, his heart moved slightly, as if he thought of something, his eyes gradually deepened, and he stared at Su Li thoughtfully.
.
Yang Xiao rushed to her side in three or two steps and held her up. There was a hint of nervousness in his voice, "Little Ali, what's wrong with you?"
Yang Zhen also stepped forward quickly and said with concern: "Are you feeling unwell? Then go back and rest."
Su Li shook her head, quickly took out the medicine bottle from her arms, swallowed a few calming pills, took a deep breath, and then said calmly: "I'm fine."
She spoke calmly, as if the discomfort at that moment was just an illusion. Su Li continued what she had not finished, saying: "Since the other party is willing to negotiate for peace, let's see what conditions they can offer."
Although what she said was high-sounding and not what she really wanted in her heart, it was the truth. With the current real strength of the Bian State, it is possible to persevere and not be completely defeated if they fight hard, but losing troops and generals in long-term battles will lead to an empty national treasury, and there will be no benefits at all. The most important thing for Su Li at the moment is to facilitate this peace negotiation as soon as possible, stop the war, successfully get back the white jade ring, and allow his father to return to Sheng Kingdom Kyoto safely.
Yang Xiao slowly retracted his hand, staring at her with a pair of dark eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Su Li noticed that his sharp eyes, like a sharp sword, had penetrated the silver mask on her face, revealing everything she was thinking in her heart at the moment.
Yang Zhen turned around and walked around, slowly stroking the delicate dark embroidered patterns on his arrow sleeves with his fingers. His eyes were lowered, as if he was also thinking carefully about Su Li's words. The faint corner of his eyes focused on the emperor for a moment, and no one noticed. There was a flash of gloom on his face.
The emperor stared at Su Li for a while, and then suddenly said: "You all should step aside first. I have something to say to Su Li alone."
Yang Zhen and Yang Xiao were both startled, with doubts in their hearts, but they had no choice but to lead everyone out of the camp.
At this time, there were only the emperor and Su Li in the tent.
The emperor sighed and said bluntly: "Ah Li, have you never integrated the inner breath of the Floating Cloud Sutra and Chengfeng in your body?"
The emperor suddenly specified that he wanted to talk to her alone. Su Li vaguely guessed that it was related to her unstable breathing just now. After hesitating for a moment, she finally said "hmm" lightly.
The emperor stood up, sighed and said: "If the two skills of the Floating Cloud Sutra and Chengfeng cannot be integrated in time, using the internal force in vain will cause backlash to the heart and veins. This is why you feel unwell just now."
. "
Su Li said calmly: "I thought this was a reaction of the internal force not being fully integrated, but I didn't know there was a backlash. Su Li boldly asked Your Majesty, is there a way to solve it?"
The emperor frowned and hesitated to speak.
Su Li said calmly: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, please say it directly."
"Well, night grass is the best medicine to combine these two internal powers. It is a rare treasure in the world. It takes twenty years to grow into shape. It was originally available in the palace, but now..."
"How is it now? Is it gone?"
The emperor seemed a little helpless and said: "Yelan grass has been refined into a heartless elixir by the elders of the Xuanjing Realm of the Saintess Sect."
Heartless Pill? Hearing this name, he felt weird. Su Li couldn't help but frown and asked, "What is this Heartless Pill?"
"The Unfeeling Pill is a newly refined elixir from the Holy Cult. It is specially designed to control people's sexual thoughts. Once taken, you will not be able to have any thoughts of love again for life. Otherwise, it will cause the meridians to reverse, causing pain like a thousand arrows piercing the heart. In the end, the power It’s all useless!” the emperor said slowly.
Su Li was stunned for a moment. This symptom seemed to be quite similar to when Dongfang Ze was poisoned by the love flower and was unable to be intimate with her. Thinking of that person, her heart couldn't help but feel suffocated. The lingering past memories caused by this strange flower instantly turned into countless needles piercing her heart. The pain was thin and long.
She suddenly gritted her teeth. It had been so long, why couldn't she forget him? ! This person is not worth her heartache at all! If possible, she would never want to be involved in love again in this life. Only by being ruthless and careless can she live a peaceful and free life!
End of love and despair... Suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. Su Li raised her eyes and looked at the emperor, "The Pill of Endless Love..."
The emperor was also watching her, looking at Su Li with eyes that were indescribably complicated and a bit hesitant.
Su Li's eyes turned cold, it turned out that he had already intended this! He said lightly sarcastically: "The Saintess Cult is indeed well-deserved for its reputation, and it has come up with some tricky tricks. It's a pity that we only got one night grass in the past twenty years."
The emperor's eyes flashed and he sighed: "It's no wonder they have it. Since the former emperor's sister escaped eighteen years ago, in order to prevent such accidents from happening again, they thought for a long time before painstakingly researching this elixir formula.
. "
"It's indeed a lot of painstaking work!" Su Li said coldly with no expression on his face: "In that case, if Su Li wants to cure this internal power problem, he must first become a saint of the Saintess Cult?"
The emperor glanced at her and said solemnly: "That's right. The Heartless Pill is in the hands of the Xuanjing elders, and non-saints are not allowed to take it. I...can't change the decree at will."
Su Li lowered her eyes slightly and did not answer.
"Ah Li," after a while, the emperor slowly walked up to her and sighed helplessly, as if with a hint of worry, "you won't be resentful towards me because of this, will you?"
"Su Li doesn't dare. Your Majesty is too worried." Su Li replied lightly, with a cold smile in his heart. No wonder he was not in a hurry to find the white jade ring when he first met the emperor that day. It seemed that he had already expected that she would release her inner strength. The difficulty of compatibility will come back sooner or later. In addition, she and Dongfangze broke off their love and jumped into the river on the bank of Lancang River. It is known to the whole world that it is perfect to be such a ruthless and heartless saint. This wishful thinking was really good.
But... well, Dongfang Ze has obviously become suspicious of her identity. If she can avoid him, it might not be a bad thing. When this storm passes, she can find a way to solve Jueqing Dan's predicament and leave here.
Making up her mind at that moment, she looked at the emperor and said softly: "I wonder if Su Li is qualified to assume the position of a saint?"
"What?" The emperor was obviously taken aback, as if he didn't expect her to respond so quickly, "You want to be a saint?"
Su Li asked back: "Then does your Majesty have a better way to solve the problem of backlash?"
The emperor was slightly startled, and said with a complex expression: "I really don't have a better way, and I hope you can revive the reputation of the Saintess Cult. Alas, it's just this matter... I hope you can think about it clearly."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Su Li understands."
The emperor pondered for a moment, "Is that white jade ring on you?"
Su Li shook his head.
"The white jade ring is the most important token of the saint. If you are really determined to be a saint, you must have the ring in your hand to prove your identity and command the whole sect. Except for the elders, no one in the sect knows about the relationship between the sect and the royal family. Relationship." The emperor thought for a while and took a few steps. "In this way, you can find a way to get the ring back first. Before that, you can think about this matter carefully. No matter what choice you make, I will not force you to do so."
"yes
. Su Li asked, "What about the peace talks?" "
The emperor thought: "What you just said makes sense. You might as well go and see what the other party's purpose is first, and then make a plan."
Seeing that the emperor relaxed and agreed to the peace talks, Su Li felt relieved. After chatting for a few words, he resigned to the emperor.
As soon as they stepped out of the tent, Yang Zhen and Yang Xiao came forward to greet them, "Ali, how are you?"
Yang Zhen's expression was as usual, but his tone was a bit concerned, a bit inquiring, and a bit worried.
Yang Xiao's handsome face, which was always smiling, was also a little solemn, "Father... what did he tell you?" He vaguely guessed the answer in his heart and couldn't wait to confirm it.
"Thank you uncle for your concern. Su Li is fine." A slight warmth filled his heart. Su Li smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing. Your Majesty told me a way to solve the problem of fusion skills."
Yang Xiao's face darkened, he grabbed her and said, "Saintess Cult?"
"Yes." Su Li nodded slightly, "I have decided to become a saint."
"What? This is absolutely impossible!" Yang Zhen was shocked and categorically rejected it immediately.
Yang Xiao couldn't help but widen his eyes. He couldn't believe his ears. He glanced at the big tent and whispered eagerly: "Where is the Saintess Cult? You... It's not that you don't know. This Saintess is so good." For what it’s worth?”
"What the Fourth Prince said makes sense, Ah Li! You are still young, are you going to be like this for the rest of your life... No, I will never allow it!" Yang said in shock and pain, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Did he force you?"
"No one forced me." Su Li still looked calm.
The two people clearly looked disbelieving, and they had the same stance as never before.
"No one really forced me." Su Li sighed softly and said calmly: "If not, the pain from the two internal forces in my body will only get worse and worse, and there is no point in dragging it on."
Yang Zhen's chest was rising and falling unsteadily, why was it like this? ! It was like this eighteen years ago, and will it still be like this eighteen years later? ! That soft and handsome face became more and more gloomy, and his sinister eyes seemed to want to eat people, but he gritted his teeth and was so heartbroken that he could not speak.
. With nowhere to vent his anger, he suddenly raised his hand and waved a palm. A big tree a dozen steps away suddenly broke apart and slowly fell down!
King Xiao got angry with such force that it was frightening. The soldiers standing around the camp immediately trembled and lowered their heads without daring to speak out.
Yang Xiao's face turned slightly pale, and he was more solemn than ever before. Based on his understanding of Su Li, he would never agree so easily! What's more, she also has abilities that are difficult for ordinary people to reach!
She could be so calm, so calm that it was almost frightening, as if the person who wanted to be a saint was not her at all!
"Follow me!" Yang Xiao shouted in a deep voice, grabbing her and running towards a dense forest outside the camp.
The thick shade of the trees blocked the scorching sun. Only when he reached a secluded place did Yang Xiao stop. He turned around and stared closely into her eyes. He still persisted in persuading: "This matter is not trivial. As far as I know, the Heartless Pill is not available for the time being." Once you take the method of relief, it means you can no longer..."
"What's wrong with this?" she asked flatly, "Just because it doesn't mean it will last forever."
The silver mask glowed with a faint cold light, but the emotion in the black eyes was cold and indifferent.
He took a deep breath, and after a while, he said with difficulty: "Have you promised my father?"
"Then tell me, is there any better way?" The clear eyes behind the mask were so calm that there was no trace of ripples, as if nothing in this world could affect her emotions.
Yang Xiao was speechless for a moment, her thick eyebrows furrowed, her eyes full of regret. For Dongfang Ze, she had given up any illusions about love! Without leaving any room for herself, has she reached this point of despair? This realization made his heart feel as if someone had hit him hard. He seemed to have lost all his strength and took a step back, leaning against a tree.
The sunlight penetrated the branches in the forest, casting dappled light. Her slender figure was trapped in heavy shadows, making her look even thinner. I still remember the first time Sheng Guo met her a few months ago. She was so smart, cunning, and so aura that she played with him like a monkey in public! But the woman in front of him was pale and calm, taciturn, and seemed to have lost all her laughter. How could Dongfang Ze have the heart to hurt her to such a state
His heart ached slightly, Yang Xiao couldn't help but raise his hand to pull her, but Su Li took a step back vigilantly, avoiding him, looking at his complicated and unspeakable expression, and sneered: "Do you sympathize with me?"
Yang Xiao was slightly startled, and there was a hint of confusion between his handsome brows, "I don't have any."
. I just... don't want you to make a decision that you will regret in the future when you are in a state of uncertainty. "
Su Li sneered, "I will bear the consequences of the choices I make! Don't bother the Fourth Prince!"
"You!" Yang Xiao's expression changed. He held his breath and glared at her. Su Li raised her chin slightly, with an unshakable stubbornness in the soft curve. There was an inexplicable move in his heart, and his anger suddenly disappeared. He was a little frustrated. He opened his mouth to say something more, but finally gave up.
Seeing him like this, Su Li felt soft, stopped talking, and couldn't help but slow down, "I know you do my best, but I have my own opinions on my own affairs, and I don't want others to interfere."
Her firm tone had already told him the final answer. Yang Xiao nodded silently, knowing that he was powerless to persuade her to turn back.
"It's getting late, let's go back to camp." Su Li looked at the sky calmly and turned away calmly.
Yang Xiao followed her, and the two of them returned to the camp one after another. That night, the emperor sent someone to reply to Shengjun and agreed to hold peace talks again in three days.
Three days passed by in a flash.
In the early morning, the weather was shrouded in continuous drizzle, and the sky and the earth were gray. The outside of Qixiang Hall had already been heavily guarded by soldiers from Bian and Sheng. Everyone looked solemn and looked ahead warily, on high alert. .
Ten horses galloped through the rain and fog, arriving directly outside Qixiang Hall. Yang Xiao was the first to jump off the horse neatly, followed closely by Su Li, Shen Men and five guards.
After looking around the outside of Qixiang Hall, Yang Xiao walked up to Su Li, stretched out his long arm, restlessly put his hand on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "The idea Miao Envoy thought of is indeed very good. There are so many soldiers guarding the door. I’m afraid not even a fly can fly in!”
In view of the last time Bian State secretly set up an ambush, both sides of the peace talks became more careful about the location and precautionary measures. Finally, Su Li proposed that both sides send troops to garrison Dangyu at the same time to monitor each other. If any abnormality was discovered, they would be killed without mercy. The terrain is already familiar to each other, so any abnormalities can be easily detected. Once this suggestion was made, both parties readily agreed.
Su Li ignored him, quickly dodged away, and walked straight into the ancestral hall. His hand suddenly slipped down.
Yang Xiao didn't take it seriously, followed closely, held her hand, and shouted: "Hey, wait for me."
Before he finished speaking, the closed door of the ancestral hall opened with a creak.
.
In the ancestral hall, a tall man with a black robe and a golden crown stood with his back to the door, flanked by bodyguards on both sides. He was the unbeatable Sheng Qin Sheng Xiao!
Su Li stopped immediately. The person coming... turned out to be Dongfang Ze! Where is the father? !
Hearing the sound, Dongfangze turned around slowly, and the dim light poured on his handsome face, making his facial features a bit deeper and colder. Among the faint shadows, only his pair of bright black eyes, as bright as stars, captured the soul. .
They met his gaze unexpectedly and looked at each other. There was silence between heaven and earth, except for the slight sound of raindrops falling on the ground, which seemed to be absent.
He stared at Su Li's silver mask intently. For a moment, his eyes subconsciously moved downwards, focusing on the hands held tightly by the two. He did not move for a long time, and a chill gradually appeared in his eyes.
Su Li stabilized his mind and quickly glanced inside the room. Behind him, except for Sheng Qin and Sheng Xiao, were eight bodyguards with armored black cavalry. No sign of his father was seen!
"It's really unexpected. Why is there no one in the Sheng Kingdom? Does His Majesty, the Emperor, need to come in person for peace talks?"
Yang Xiao acted very surprised, his words were full of sarcasm, but his eyes were full of cold hatred. He held Su Li's hand a little tighter.
Su Li felt a little unhappy inexplicably, took a step back, and broke free from his restraint without leaving a trace.
Yang Xiao walked carelessly to the opposite side of Dongfang Ze, found a chair and sat down, crossing his legs.
Dongfang Ze also sat casually, looking at Shen Clan and the others carefully with sharp eyes, and said slowly: "The fourth prince has a noble status, but he has a close relationship with the people in Shen Clan, which also surprises me."
"Xiao Wang likes to make friends the most, and he never cares about the identity of the other person. Dongfang Ze, your curiosity is too strong." Yang Xiao called him by his name without politeness, stretched out his long legs lazily, and said coldly He said coldly: "Okay, let's get down to business. What do you want to talk about?"
Everyone was already accustomed to his careless appearance. Dongfangze immediately said bluntly: "It will be of no benefit to both countries to continue fighting this war. We might as well consider a truce."
Yang Xiao's smile gradually turned cold, "Everyone knows that you threw yourself into the river for Princess Mingxi. Lei Lei was furious and vowed to flatten our Bian country to vent his hatred. Now that the goal has not been achieved, why do you take the initiative again? Truce? Or, what tricks do you want to play? "
"I'm just here to discuss the terms of the truce. What else do you have to do with the Fourth Prince?"
"It has nothing to do with me? Haha
. One hundred and thirty-one people from Zhaohua and the envoy died tragically in your hands, and you actually said you had nothing to do with me? Dongfang Ze, do you want to default on your debt? "Thinking of the revenge for killing his sister, Yang Xiao's heart was filled with hatred, and his eyes turned slightly red.
"She had the guts to collude with Zhan Wuji and do so many things, so she should have expected such an ending!" A trace of cruelty flashed across Dongfang Ze's face, and his words were as cold as ice, obviously still brooding about Yang Xuan.
The two men thought about the pain in their hearts, and the murderous intention filled their hearts, and the atmosphere in the ancestral hall became inexplicably tense.
Su Li lowered her eyes lightly, her eyes were extremely dull, and she felt in a daze that these things were far away from her.
"Ahem." The cold wind blew outside the door, and Dongfang Ze suddenly coughed and gasped for a few times. He put his hand into a fist and pressed it against his lips. His tall figure shook slightly, and a small piece of clothing suddenly slipped out of his clothes. The white things, lining his jet black robe, became more and more vivid, exuding a soft and lustrous luster.
Su Li's eyes suddenly changed slightly, it was a white jade ring!
Yang Xiao saw it at a glance, and his expression sank. Apparently he didn't expect that the ring was still on him.
Su Li's subtle mood swings did not escape Dongfang Ze's keen eyes. He had been secretly paying attention to her reaction. After calming down a little, he asked: "Miao Shi also recognizes this object?"
Su Li's eyes darkened slightly, "I heard the previous sect master mentioned that this thing belongs to her." After taking the pill, her voice was hoarse and deep. Fortunately, she had taken precautions in advance, otherwise Dongfang Ze suddenly appeared today. It is inevitable that there will be no flaws. A sudden thought occurred in her mind. I was afraid that this ring was also intentional on his part, just to induce her to talk. Or how about just asking her if she recognized this thing
"Yes. This is indeed her thing, and it is also a token of love between her and me." Dongfang Ze unconsciously touched the ring with his fingers, as if he wanted to feel her warmth. He stared at Su Li closely with his deep eyes, as if trying to find the answer in her eyes hidden behind the mask.
Su Li's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. This ring was indeed a special token between the two of them. It carried too many unforgettable subtleties, too many for her to ignore! She tried her best to steady her breathing and prevent more emotions from showing in her eyes.
Yang Xiao's eyes were slightly cold, and he sneered: "This is clearly the property of my father's old friend. You already knew it as early as Tianmen, and you should find a better reason if you want to occupy it.
. "
Dongfangze's eyes flashed slightly and suddenly said: "The fourth prince wants this ring?"
Yang Xiao said with a gloomy face, "You ask questions knowingly!"
Dongfang Ze smiled faintly, "Okay, let's play a game. I wonder if the fourth prince dares to do it?"
Everyone was startled. Why did Dongfangze, who had always been extremely serious, propose to play games during the peace talks between the two countries? It would be more reasonable if Yang Xiao should raise this matter.
Only Su Li's heart sank immediately. Behind the handsome smile on Dongfang Ze's face, there was clearly another intention. She intuitively felt that it must be related to her.
"Huh, what a joke. Why don't I dare?" Yang Xiao said coldly, "Let me tell you the rules."
"There will be one person from each side. Whoever can beat the other will get the ring. The winner can ask the loser to do something. How about it?"
There seemed to be nothing wrong, but Su Li smelled a hint of conspiracy.
Yang Xiao's eyes narrowed and he asked calmly: "What if it's a draw?"
"There will be no tie!" Dongfangze said decisively, "But... I must appoint the person for this duel."
Su Li had already guessed what he was going to say next. He simply refused to give up and tried every means to take her away! He thought she was still Su Li, who had low martial arts skills in the past
He turned his eyes, looked at her and smiled slightly, "I heard that the master of Miao was brave enough to resolve the ambush by one person during the peace talks that day. I appreciate it very much."
Su Li looked at him coldly, knowing that he had impure intentions and came prepared. She had no choice at the moment. No one knew better than him what this ring meant to her! In this game, she can only win, not lose!
"What do you think, Fourth Prince?"
Yang Xiao had a complicated look on his face. He glanced at Su Li and understood. What else could he say now? This damn Dongfangze! Under the guise of peace talks, the actual purpose is just for Su Li! At the moment, he could only endure his heavy heart and nodded.
Everyone retreated to the courtyard according to Dongfangze's wishes. The drizzle had stopped, the air was cold and moist, and the sky was still hazy and gray.
.
There were only two people in the room, Dongfang Ze and Su Li, standing at opposite ends, staring at each other.
The four of Shenmen stood together. Xiang Li looked around for a few times, then quietly leaned into Wan Xin's ear and said, "Hey, who do you think will win among them?"
Wan Xin pursed her lips and said nothing. Although Su Li had acquired Jing Wan's skills for more than ten years and her inner energy had greatly increased, after all, the two forces had not yet merged. It was really not easy to defeat Dongfang Ze, whose martial arts was unfathomable.
Jiang Yuan said worriedly: "If I fight against Dongfangze, I will use my true energy rashly, which may cause harm to her body."
Qin Heng raised his hands and said firmly: "I don't think so. Emperor Sheng is deeply in love with her, so he will be merciful and will not really hurt her. I think the sect leader will definitely win."
Xiang Li rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "He is indeed a master of gathering information and has very strong observation skills. I think so too. Hey, I have a good idea, why don't we place a bet on it!"
He hadn't entered a gambling house for a long time, and he was very excited to suggest it. The three people looked at the sky at the same time, obviously showing disdain for this move.
Xiang Li's interest suddenly disappeared, he rolled his eyes and muttered softly: "It's really boring."
Before he finished speaking, he heard several "bang bang bang bang" sounds in succession, a strong wind swept by, and all the doors and windows in the ancestral hall were tightly closed.
There is no light in the room, so you can't see everything about the other person. It's so quiet that you can only vaguely catch the other person's shallow breathing.
Everything seemed to be back to the beginning of the encounter. In the bathroom of Lancangjiang Inn, each other could not see each other, but they could clearly feel each other's presence.
Su Li's heart trembled, and she suddenly realized the purpose of his sudden force to close the doors and windows. He no longer wants to be fooled by illusions, and wants to use the environment to find the feelings of the past, so as to determine her identity!
The red lips behind the mask twitched slightly, forming a warm smile. No matter what his purpose was, she would definitely try her best to get the ring back today! No longer distracted at the moment, Su Li fixed his eyes on the familiar tall figure in the shadow, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he flew towards him.
The dagger in his sleeve slipped silently from his palm, and he held it tightly. In the darkness, the sharp sword blade glowed with cold white light, approaching Dongfang Ze's heart!
He stood there motionless and gently closed his eyes.
. There is a wall behind him, and there is no way to retreat.
Su Li's eyes widened. Was he seeking death by standing still? Or are you betting that she won't be able to kill him? In the flash of lightning, the emotions in her heart surged like ocean waves. There was a moment of hesitation, but the sword edge still stabbed forward towards his heart.
When he was an inch away from his heart, Dongfangze suddenly moved sideways to the right, turned like a ghost, and was behind Su Li.
Su Li hurriedly turned around and stabbed again, only to find that the person had disappeared. She opened her eyes wide and tried her best to find where he was in the darkness, but she couldn't see clearly. For a moment, even his breathing could not be discerned. In desperation, Su Li closed her eyes tightly and listened attentively. When people cannot see, their hearing and feelings will become particularly keen.
There was a faint warmth blowing above her head, and it was his breath that she was all too familiar with.
He stood up suddenly and launched a fierce attack with one palm. His figure turned sharply in mid-air. Su Li made a feint with his left hand and swept his right arm. He accurately guessed the position of his figure. He only heard a "chila", and there was a sound of tearing silk, and half of the black sleeves were pulled out. It gently slipped off his arm and slowly fell to the ground.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and your internal skills seem to have improved a lot. Who taught you this?" Dongfangze suddenly spoke softly, his deep voice as intoxicating as wine, which sounded particularly good in the darkness, adding a bit of charm.
Su Li said coldly: "You guessed wrong, no one taught me." He only avoided attacks, intending to induce her to take action and use more tricks. He was very aware of Su Li's meager skills in the past. She frowned secretly, wondering when the fight would be finished if this continued.
As if aware of her impatience, Dongfangze smiled softly, said nothing more, jumped up, and rushed towards Su Li's door with his tall figure.
Su Li restrained her mind, not daring to underestimate the enemy, and moved her heart as she pleased. The dagger held the sharp sword energy, and instantly transformed into countless lights and shadows, making it difficult to distinguish reality from reality for a while.
Two figures were fighting fiercely in one spot, their bodies like swimming dragons. Dozens of moves had passed in the blink of an eye, almost blending into the thick ink color.
The more Su Li fought, the more frightened she became. She almost used all her strength, but relied on her strong internal strength to cut his clothes in several places, but she still couldn't get close.
She had known that Dongfangze's martial arts were extremely powerful and rare in this world, but she didn't expect that after gathering Aunt Jingwan's skills for more than ten years, there would still be such a big gap between her and him. She didn't dare to think deeply about where his internal strength was. A situation
! If this continues, when will it stop? Is she going to lose? No, absolutely not.
She felt uneasy when she noticed the wind of his palm falling behind her. She hesitated for a moment, then swept it with all her strength, and immediately cut a long rip in the clothes behind her.
The tender skin immediately felt a fine pain, and she held back her breath for a moment.
At this moment, Dongfang Zeren had already flashed in front of her. Su Li was startled, and she hurriedly stepped back. He pressed forward step by step. Unexpectedly, she realized something was wrong just after taking a few steps back, but it was too late, and her body suddenly collided with her. On the wall!
However, the bare skin on the back was held by a solid arm, which relieved a lot of the force of the impact. The warm skin suddenly came into close contact, and her heart trembled. She looked up and saw that his eyes were bright and compelling in the darkness, and the love in his eyes was as deep as the sea. The handsome face approached, and Su Li tried his best to avoid it, but his whole body was pushed against the wall by him, and he couldn't move at all!
He lowered his head slightly, and she instinctively turned her face away. She felt the warm breath from his lips and teeth, which seemed to be teasing the delicate and smooth skin beside her ears, which was her most sensitive place. Her body trembled involuntarily. Almost unable to stand.
His hand naturally grasped her hand hanging by her side, and warmth rushed to the top of her heart. Su Li's heart ached immediately. With a flash of sword light, her hand holding the dagger was already on his neck, and she pressed hard Press down, trying to force him to move back.
"Let go!" she shouted coldly.
"Su Su, Su Su." Dongfang Ze whispered in a low voice. He turned a blind eye to her threat. At this moment, his heart surged, and the questions in his heart were best confirmed at this moment.
In just a short period of time, her skills increased dramatically, which once made him suspect that he had found the wrong person, but he quickly rejected this idea. Because his feelings cannot deceive himself. In the past twenty years, he had never had such a unique feeling for any woman, except her.
The clear scent of his body seemed to have surrounded her. Even through the mask, Su Li couldn't resist the heat. She suddenly gritted her teeth and said in a cold voice: "As the king of a country, you are so indifferent to a woman." Li, if you don’t let go, don’t blame me for being rude!”
The blade of the sword in his hand was lowered a little further. If it advanced any further, it would definitely pierce the skin.
"I won't let you go! Even in this life!" He growled lowly, firmly, and the tip of his nose touched the cold silver mask. Their bodies fit tightly together, without any gaps. It seemed that even the slightest movement would spark fierce sparks, just like countless times in the past when they were deeply affectionate.
Her body was stiff and she didn't dare to move rashly, but her mind was racing with thoughts.
.
The tender memories flooded into his mind like a tide, and her sweetness was so close. He felt a little embarrassed and coaxed in a low voice, "Susu, can you go back with me? Let's start over. What do you want and do? , I will agree. Just don’t leave me again." As he said that, he stretched out his hand to clasp the edge of her mask.
Su Li didn't resist, and suddenly stretched out her hand to touch his face. The delicate and smooth touch was the same as before. Dongfang Ze was shocked and was stunned. Let her slender fingers move slowly along the outline of his handsome features.
The fingertips gently moved to his perfectly curved jaw and continued to slide downward.
Sure enough... it's her! His heart was beating wildly, and the sudden surprise was like a wave crashing on the shore, constantly impacting his calmness and rationality. He couldn't help but close his eyes, wanting to feel the long-lost throbbing more deeply.
The moment she closed her eyes, she didn't see the cold light flashing in her eyes.
Su Li moved the hand holding the sword silently, and the sharp sword energy immediately cut off the red rope hanging the white jade ring around his neck. He hooked his little finger and the ring fell into his palm. At the same time, the other hand suddenly pulled out and used Use all your strength to slap him and hit him hard on the shoulder!
Dongfang Ze groaned and took a few steps back, a trace of blood spilling from his mouth.
She took the opportunity to jump up and landed on the other side.
She lied to him again! He turned around suddenly and stared at the hazy and slender figure in the darkness. No one could see the heartbreaking disappointment in his eyes.
Su Li squeezed the ring in her palm tightly, her heart was beating fast, and she still couldn't believe that she got it back so smoothly! As soon as the ring was put on her index finger, Dongfang Ze appeared in front of her like a ghost, so fast that she could hardly react.
The man's whole body exuded shocking anger, and his moves were as fast as the wind, hitting all of Su Li's various acupoints, as if he wanted to capture her alive!
Su Li's inner breath had reached the limit, and he tried his best to deal with it. He was retreating step by step, and he was forced into a corner again. He was breathing rapidly, and his inner breath was surging, as if they were in conflict with each other. And Dongfang Ze has no intention of stopping at all!
His tall figure fell in mid-air, enveloping her like a huge black net.
Suddenly, something seemed to have fallen from his body. It was hard to identify in the darkness, and it came straight towards Su Li's door. She had nowhere to retreat, so she intuitively raised her dagger and struck it with all her strength.
.
"Don't-" Dongfangze exclaimed and reached out to grab it, but it was too late.
The moment the dagger hit the thing, Su Li could see clearly. It was a palm-sized ebony doll. The doll's face was carved lifelike, and even its ten fingers were extremely delicate and perfect. Marvel.
It was the first time he carved it with his own hands, her human puppet, and it was also her favorite thing.
Su Li's mind went blank, and there was a crisp "click" sound in his ears.
The extremely hard ebony wood was shattered into pieces by the dagger she slashed with all her strength in an instant, and shattered in all directions in the blink of an eye.
She opened her eyes wide, but she only saw his bright eyes in the darkness, filled with shock and disbelief at this moment.
It turns out that no matter how carefully you take care of it, whether it's feelings or something else, one day it will change beyond recognition.
For a long time, there was no sound in the room.
The door of the ancestral hall was pushed open by someone, and a sudden light poured in.
The ground was a mess, with broken wooden tables and chairs scattered all over the floor.
There was no tragic scene as everyone imagined, and no one knew what exactly happened just now.
Both men stood in the room intact.
Dongfangze's tall black figure stood with his back to the door, his head slightly lowered, staring blankly at the fragments of the doll at his feet.
When Su Li heard the voice, she raised her head in confusion, but when she saw his eyes in front of her, there was only an expression, and her heart turned to ashes.
She was suddenly hit by a sharp pain in the heart, and her body couldn't help but tremble. She knew that the internal energy that had been suppressed for a long time had burst out again. She gritted her teeth, held on to the last bit of strength, and walked out of the ancestral hall quickly.
"Your Majesty—" Sheng Qin Sheng Xiao's exclamation came from behind her. The pain instantly overwhelmed her, and Yang Xiao followed her. He had already noticed that something was wrong with her situation, so he picked her up and rushed out of Qixiang Hall.
