actually…
On the way, Nai Ye met this newly appointed expeditionary knight leader.
Xing Luo's older sister, Xing Meng...
Thinking of this, Nai Ye's heart, which was a little bit lost, ached again.
"Actually, if it was my younger sister, I would have guessed this ending a long time ago, Your Royal Highness, please don't feel so guilty..."
Although Xingmeng was wearing a knight's armor, she had lived in the Royal Academy all year round, so there was no way to conceal the bookish aura she had naturally developed on her body. Nai Ye even doubted whether he would be able to swing a sword before putting on the knight's armor.
"But… "
Apologize, after meeting her, Naiye held Xingmeng's hand almost instinctively. For Xingluo's death, Naiye has always believed that it was because of Lu Qiu, that is, her own fault.
"Your Highness, you did the right thing. She, that child, as the leader of the "Undertaker", endangers the safety of innocent people in the world all the time... Maybe this is fate. "
As expected of being a teacher for a long time, Hoshi dreamed of Nai Ye's uneasy appearance, and even started to comfort Nai Ye, and invited Nai Ye to join the expeditionary knights' resident.
In fact, regardless of Xingmeng's appearance, she is barely twenty years old, but she is already old enough to be Nai Ye's mother.
So, girls who are always seventeen years old really exist
Time has not left any traces on her body, the only thing that can prove it is probably her maturity and prestige in the central capital.
Such a weak girl chose to be the head of the Imperial Expeditionary Knights, and none of the tough guys in the Expeditionary Knights dared to stand up and refute.
The reason is simple, more than half of the members of the Expeditionary Knights are the disciples of the mentor of the Royal Academy of the Central Capital.
Facing the teacher, of course they dare not say a word.
"But... she is your sister."
Judging from Xingmeng's tone, it seemed that she didn't care much about her sister's death at all, and she didn't seem to have any fluctuations in the person who killed her sister.
Could it be that this eldest sister has never cared much about her younger sister
"It's because that child is my sister that I've been pampering her like this."
Xing Meng spoke lightly, and gave an answer that surprised Nai Ye.
"Do you know her identity?"
"I knew it from the beginning."
Xingmeng nodded, and the pupils under the rimless glasses also showed a trace of fatigue.
"That's why I live in the Royal Academy of the Central Capital all year round, and rarely return to the family residence..."
"Why?" If she was a member of the empire, she should report her sister, who endangered the safety of the empire and was a rebellious existence, and then let someone erase it.
It's just... Xingmeng chose to escape
Or fear
"Because... I'm afraid of my sister."
really…
Perhaps it was the first time talking about her sister in front of others, Xingmeng had a deep tiredness on her face, the identity of her sister had always been a huge stone in her heart.
"It's a bit ridiculous to say, Your Royal Highness, do you know? She is very powerful...the power is beyond my imagination. Every time I am in the family, I can feel that everything in the family is controlled by my sister, and it is arranged. Even if my life, my daily life, my destiny and life, my younger sister who does not know how many years younger than me, controls all these in one hand."
I...it's the same...Nai Ye was startled, and almost wanted to blurt out.
Is my current life not like this? Freedom... That thing has been deprived long ago. Nai Ye is now a marionette, in front of that man, performing the dance he wants to see according to his wish.
"Then why don't you report to the empire? You can leave the family and enter the Royal Academy, so you must be able to tell the royal family about these things?! Why?"
Why
Nai Ye also wanted to ask herself why...
Nai Ye didn't want to see those innocent civilians die, and didn't want to see one after another living life die in front of her, but that man kept making this scene happen again and again.
Nai Ye could have prevented all this from happening. She could have just told Emperor Dodran how terrible the crisis the empire was facing. No matter how powerful that man was, he was no match for the anger of the entire empire.
Nai Ye, who has a kind heart, doesn't allow it, but why didn't she do it
Xingmeng's answer gave Nai Ye the best interpretation.
"Because she is my sister..."
Xingmeng wore a bitter smile, as if recalling something.
"I watched her be born, I watched her grow up, every day, every night, I took care of her when she was young, no matter how much she did was not recognized by the world, no matter how rebellious, she... is still my sister, my only sister. How can there be a sister in the world, and hand over her sister to those who will kill her?"
In the face of family affection and righteousness, she chose family affection.
Xingmeng is just a woman, not a masculine man. Xingmeng can't do such things as killing relatives righteously.
Even if her sister did something that even she herself was afraid of, she just forgave it silently after all.
"Dear...?" Nai Ye may have only experienced this kind of thing in Mu Xiya's body, but in Lu Qiu's body, it was something else, something different.
"That's what I like."
Sensing the sadness of His Royal Highness, Xingmeng made a little joke to ease the atmosphere.
But this sentence made Nai Ye's face blush...
"It's just love between relatives. I like Xingluo, but because I'm afraid of her, I can't get close to her at all. But it's too late now."
Xingmeng didn't care about Naiye's blushing, but just noticed something, and said to Naiye in the tone of someone who has been there.
"Your Highness, there are some things that you can't hesitate to do. At that time, you will feel the bitterness of loss, and it's useless to regret it... Ah, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Do you want to go have a drink with me, Your Highness?"
Nai Ye couldn't do it, she couldn't figure out what she wanted to do now, she just passively accepted Lu Qiu's order.
Passive acceptance of...
Now... the same thing.
"Yeah." Naiye didn't have anywhere to go at night, it was better than wandering outside meaninglessly.
There was a small table in the back garden, which was probably specially brought by Xingmeng to entertain Nai Ye, and some tea and desserts were placed on it.
Women generally don't like to drink, even in this world.
A real lady should not drink at all.
Just after Nai Ye took a sip of the black tea that Xing Meng handed over, a cold breath flashed in her mind...
Straight to Nai Ye's heart!
'Kill her...'
A voice that was so cold that there was no emotion resounded in Nai Ye's heart!
Nai Ye's body became stiff, and she recognized whose voice it was!
'for...why? '
This is the first time! For the first time, Nai Ye had doubts about his order in his heart.
'Why not kill her? '
What I got was a rhetorical question without any emotion.
'She...she is innocent...'
Nai Ye looked at Xing Meng's tired face, even though she knew it was useless, she still retorted powerlessly.
'Innocent...? Well, you continue to play your ridiculous role as an imperial concubine, let this woman go to the garden at the back, you will not disobey my order, will you? Xiao Naiye? '
You... will not disobey my orders...
Nai Ye lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and tried her best not to let Xing Meng see the frightened expression on her face. The cold sweat overflowing from her forehead made Nai Ye look very embarrassed.
"What's the matter? Your Royal Highness? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xingmeng's caring words made Naiye feel like a mess...
what to do? what do I do? !
Nai Ye's heart does not allow Nai Ye to do this, but...
"In that garden, what are the flying stars?"
Nai Ye stretched out her hand and weakly pointed at the flying stars in the garden behind. In fact, all of them were fireflies.
Nai Ye knew, but...but... In order for her to walk into the garden, there must be some reason, right
"Firefly, Your Royal Highness, haven't you seen it?"
As an elder, Xingmeng didn't have the airs of an elder at all. Instead, like a girl of the same age as Nai Ye, she suddenly grabbed Nai Ye's hand.
"Do you want to go and see?"
"Um…"
Nai Ye answered her in a low voice.
What am I doing? Now Nai Ye just wants to tell her not to go anywhere, and run away quickly...
The farther you can escape, the better.
It's just that Nai Ye is not, Nai Ye is not under anyone's control, this is her own wish, to obey Lu Qiu's words, this wish.
Xing Meng didn't seem to notice anything, and took Nai Ye's hand and walked into the center of the garden. The fireflies were frightened by the two humans and flew up one after another, really like the stars in the sky.
It's just that Nai Ye didn't have time to look at these beautiful scenery.
felt it.
That man's murderous aura!
Nai Ye looked around in a panic, trying to find the source of the murderous intent.
"It's the first time I've seen so many fireflies gathered together." Xingmeng continued, her figure gradually moved towards Naiye.
Nai Ye's nerves were tense at this time, and she wanted to know the source of this killing intent.
Is it really okay to go on like this? Her sister has already died because of herself... If this continues, Nai Ye will not be able to forgive herself at all, there is no way to forgive...
Human...a kind of incomprehensible creature whose actions are dominated by emotions. Nai Ye, who has a human heart, finally rushed to Xingmeng's side at the moment when her killing intent was about to erupt. She opened her hands and stood in front of Xingmeng.
"Stop!" Nai Ye shouted towards a direction in the night, she knew where Lu Qiu was.
But suddenly, Nai Ye suddenly felt powerless.
No...not because of Lu Qiu! The blood in the body has not suffered any restrictions, but...
but...
Nai Ye turned her head in disbelief and looked at Xingmeng with a frozen smile on her face.
Black tea...poisonous...
This was the first thought that came to Nai Ye's mind, and the second thought was...
Why
"Sorry...Your Highness, even if I know that my sister is wrong, she is still my sister. I...can't calmly face an enemy who killed my relatives, especially an enemy who almost destroyed my family. Human beings are creatures dominated by emotions, aren't they?"
The gentle temperament just now seemed to be non-existent, Xing Meng looked at Nai Ye with very gloomy eyes.
Nai Ye's lips moved, but she still didn't say anything.
This feeling of being betrayed is hard... especially for Nai Ye.
Now she has only one thought, who else can she trust in this world
Lu Qiu
The answer appears to be no.
Because...her life is worthless to Lu Qiu.
boom!
Gunshots could be heard almost all over the city.
Lu Qiu, who was 1,500 meters away, had almost no hesitation, and just shot!
The bullet pierced through Nai Ye, who was standing in front of Xingmeng, and shot into Nai Ye's abdomen, blood bloomed in Nai Ye's abdomen!
And the kinetic energy of the bullet did not stop after penetrating Nai Ye's body. It easily tore Nai Ye's abdomen and sank into the heart of Xingmeng standing behind.
After Lu Qiu watched the two figures fall in the garden, he made a quick unloading action again, and the yellow-orange shells popped out. Lu Qiu stood up holding the black death.
There was no expression on his face, the only thought in his head...
The most powerful blade in the empire, all members of the Expeditionary Knights were killed!
Tomorrow, the central capital will have no power to resist and will be slaughtered by itself! RS
