Cherry Blossoms Upon a Wintry Sword - Chapter 57

In this way, Rui took Xuan Qing and Lin Ru Fei for a day in the palace during the day, and incidentally had dinner with Bai Jinglun before returning.

On the way back, Xuan Qing sat in the carriage with her eyes closed, and seemed to be thinking about something. Lin Rufei didn’t dare to disturb him, raised the car curtain, and looked at the night scene outside.

Because of the curfew, the most lively night scene in Dengxiao City disappeared, and the streets were lined with closed merchants. No visitors were seen, and from time to time, only the guards wearing heavy armors patrolled back and forth uniformly. When I went back, the carriage was stopped by the guards several times. Only after seeing the token belonging to the palace in the driver’s hand, did the cart be released.

At the inn, Xuan Qing and Lin Rufei bid farewell to each other and went back to their room to rest.

In such hot weather, Lin Rufei walked outside for a day, and it was indeed a little lacking. Fuhua and Yurui brought him a boiled medicine, and the white fungus soup that refreshed and relieved the heat, urging Lin Rufei to drink.

Lin Rufei frowned when she saw the medicine. She was puzzled and said that her cold was better, so why should she drink it?

Fuhua explained that this is a soothing medicine, and she won’t fall asleep at night, and said that the effect of this medicine is really good, and it seems to be working.

Lin Rufei said strangely, “It works, how do you know if it works?”

Neither the floating flower nor the jade murmured, but the expression looked strange.

Lin Rufei sent the two out. He was about to find a place to throw away the medicine. Looking at the brown-black medicine juice in his hand, he suddenly understood what the effect of the floating flower and Yu Rui mouth meant.

Recently, Gu Xuan has become weaker and weaker, and it is precisely because of this. In the eyes of Fuhua and Yu Rui, his hysteria that he has talked to himself has been greatly improved. The waitresses naturally attributed this change to soothing drugs, so they urged Lin Rufei to continue to take Wan Jikai’s medicine.

Lin Rufei is very helpless. After all, it is a drug that is poisonous. After drinking too much, no one knows whether it will have other effects. So although I received the kindness of the floating flower Yu Rui, I still quietly poured the medicine and lay down. Back on the couch.

After walking around the palace today, Lin Rufei also saw some doorways. Although Rui said she wanted to help this day, in fact, she hadn’t taken the matter into her mind until someone had started to do something under his eyelids a few days ago.

At present, Bai Jinglun hasn’t set up Chu Jun, and the great prince is not rushed out, so the parties in the palace are insidious. In the words of daytime Rui, it is not surprising that he used any method. During the day, Rui has no interest in the friction between these forces. As long as it is not counted on his head, he will not interfere. After all, an eight-border sword repair, it is easy to destroy a city. Although he lives in the world, all beings are as small as ants in his eyes.

Do you care which ant wins? The same is true for Rui during the day.

Of course, during the day, Rui hid her own attitude very well. If Lin Rufei did not have a deep understanding of the swordsman’s temperament, I am afraid he would not have noticed it.

About Bai Jinglun also knew his brother’s temperament, so he didn’t doubt that daytime Rui intervened in this weird thing. After all, if he really wanted to do it, why should he choose such a euphemistic method, I’m afraid it is better than this Of convenience.

However, during the day, Rui was really interested in Lin Rufei. Even Xuan Qing felt it. On the way back, he also told Lin Rufei to let him pay a little attention. The prince has no taboos, and his face is faster than the book. He really liked it, and it was not a good thing.

Lin Rufei naturally knows that although Rui is not his second brother Lin Jade ’s opponent during the day, Lin Jade is far away from Kunlun, and it may be too late when something really happens. However, unlike Xuan Qing’s feeling, he felt that the interest of Daylight in him was not that of men and women, but more like a vague temptation to test whether Lin Rufei was as harmless as he showed.

There were countless thoughts in his head, and drowsiness gradually came up. Lin Rufei narrowed his eyes and was drowsy, but he heard a slight crunch. The sound was very light and small, as if the breeze had accidentally moved the window, but it seemed to stand out in this quiet house. The candle lit on the table had gone out, and the room was dim and people could not see clearly, but Lin Rufei opened her eyes warily, and sat up alertly from the bed, and said, “Who is there?”

No one answered.

“Who is there?” Lin Rufei asked again

Still no answer, as if the voice Lin Rufei heard just now is just his illusion, but although he couldn’t see it, he felt clearly that there was something in his room, perhaps by the window, or in the corner Maybe … just hide under his bed.

Lin Rufei was startled by his own thoughts. He calmed himself down, held Gu Yu hanging next to him, pulled out his blade, and then grappled out of bed, trying to light the candle on the table.

The room was quiet, Lin Rufei carefully watched the surroundings, he stumbled to the table, and finally felt the flames on the table. He was about to pick it up and ignite, but suddenly there was a strong force behind him.

Lin Rufei did not notice for a moment, and was directly pressed to the table. The manpower to attack him was extremely great. He held his mouth directly to cover his call for help, and the other hand held him. His neck pinned him to the table.

The first reaction of Lin Rufei was that this man wanted to kill himself, and the next moment he swore Gu Yu, who was wrapped in a sword, in his hand, and felt that he seemed to have cut something. The stalk was slightly stagnant. Sword intent, like a stone sinking into the sea, was so silent … I knew I should use a shield, but Lin Rufei suddenly had such a thought in her head.

The person who restrained Lin Rufei gave a chuckle, slowly leaned down, reached Lin Rufei’s ear, and slowly opened his mouth.

But as soon as his voice came out, Lin Rufei appeared inconceivable.

The man’s mouth spit out two words: “Heaven … Jun …” softly, like a breeze, but the thorny Lin Rufei’s eardrum hurt, what made him most surprised was not the word Tianjun. It was the voice of this man, exactly the same as Gu Xuandu who disappeared in Dajing.

Gu Xuandu is going to kill him? No, it’s impossible, Gu Xuan wants to do it, he can do it already, why wait till this moment. But if it’s not Gu Xuandu, what does this person have to do with him? Lin Rufei’s mind was extremely chaotic, and countless thoughts flashed one after another. He wanted to ask questions, but his mouth was covered so tightly that he could only make a weak whimper.

The man felt that Lin Rufei was struggling with all his strength, and he chuckled again, as if Lin Rufei’s powerless appearance pleased him. He lowered his head and stared at Lin Rufei, who was struggling under his own hands. A soft kiss fell on the back of his hand.

There is only one hand between Lin Rufei’s lips and his lips. It is reasonable to say that Lin Rufei can clearly see what the opposite person looks like, but no matter how hard he tries There is only a darkness in the field of vision, as if this person is only a void, and it is impossible to identify the appearance of the person in front of the eye with the naked eye.

At the same time, the hand around his neck was slowly locked, gradually blocking Lin Rufei’s ability to breathe. Lin Rufei’s eyes widened and his hands wanted to be rejected, but his hand was waving in the air. Did not encounter anything. He clearly pressed himself on his body, but he couldn’t touch him, Lin Rufei wondered wondering, where is this person’s body? Does he have no body? But since there is no body … how can I hold myself down.

Because of a strong sense of suffocation, Lin Rufei’s eyes overflowed with tears, and another gentle Tianjun “Tianjun”, the voice of the man exploded in his ear like a thunder. As the suffocation time gradually grew, Lin Rufei’s vitality began to dim, and his consciousness gradually dwindled. In the dark vision, some messy patterns began to appear.

Is he about to die … But if he died like this, wouldn’t it be ridiculous, Lin Rufei thought so, unwilling to close his eyes, but just as he closed his eyes, a sudden deafening sound fell out the window. The thunder rolled, and the bright yellow dazzling lightning came immediately, and immediately split into the building not far away from the inn. The building was directly ignited by the blazing fire, the bright fire light blasted into the sky, and projected into the forest through the window Fei room. The person who pressed him suddenly let go, and fresh air poured into Lin Rufei’s lungs again. He painfully covered his neck and coughed violently.

After finally getting over, Lin Rufei hurriedly looked around, but he did not see the murderer who had just hit him.

What about people? How can there be no one? Lin Rufei walked to the window, the window was half-covered, and no one was visible when looking out. If it was not for the severe pain in the throat, I’m afraid Lin Rufei would doubt everything that just happened. It was just a nightmare he had.

Lin Rufei wiped away the cold sweat overflowing from his forehead, and looked out at the dazzling fire outside the window. The fire came suddenly and quickly, and it was extinguished in the guard’s rescue, causing no other losses.

Lin Rufei didn’t dare to sleep anymore, re-lit the candles in the house, and just sat in the room all night. Even though such a thing happened, Gu Xuandu still didn’t show up. Lin Rufei was a bit worried about his condition. Gu Xuandu was right. This incident in Dajingli is more dangerous than Xiliang Mountain. many.

The next day, Daqing. The building that burned last night is still exuding a scorching atmosphere. Lin Rufei originally thought the building was a house. After dawn, he came out to take a look and realized that it was a temple built by Tianjun in the city. He even went into this temple when he first came to the Lantern Festival. Xuan Qing even praised it, saying that the red sculpture inside was very similar to Tianjun. Lin Rufei asked curiously: “Listen to Master Xuanqing’s tone. Over heaven? “

Xuan Qing laughed without saying a word, but her hands were crossed and she spoke Amitabha.

The legend of Tianjun has been for hundreds of years. Has this Xuanqing monk lived for hundreds of years? Lin Rufei thought it was very strange, but when he saw Xuan Qing, he didn’t say anything and didn’t ask again.

After all, who knows nothing about walking in rivers and lakes.

Now, seeing the temple was suddenly burned, Lin Rufei still had some regrets.

“Lin Gongzi, what happened last night?” Just as Lin Rufei was sighing, Xuanqing monk happened to come downstairs and saw Lin Rufei sitting in the lobby drinking tea, frowned and asked, he His expression was a little dignified, his eyes fell on Lin Rufei’s neck.

I saw the white slender neck, and at this time a pair of black handprints were added for no reason. How do you feel that the handprints are familiar? It seems that Lin Rufei has a calm look, but it makes Xuan Qing think that she thinks too much. .

“Oh, that thing is coming to me.” Lin Rufei’s throat hurts, and she even has a husky voice. He took a sip of tea and said, “I want to kill me.”

Xuan Qing stared.

“But it didn’t work out,” Lin Rufei joked. “If it works out, I don’t seem to be here anymore …”

Xuan Qing didn’t speak, and sat down next to Lin Rufei, looking at the words: “Lin Gongzi, the invitation from Kunlun has been sent, it seems not safe for you to stay in Dajing, it is better to leave earlier.”

Lin Rufei said, “Is this going?”

Xuan Qing smiled bitterly: “After all, if Lin is not kidding, that thing should have been to the inn last night, but I was next to Lin and I didn’t feel the smell of that thing, so … I’m afraid I can’t protect him.

Lin Rufei teased the teacup in front of him and said, “Why is Master Xuanqing suddenly so unconfident?”

Xuan Qing said, “If you still advise Lin Gongzi to stay, it is not self-confidence, but arrogance.” He sighed, “After all, human life is the most vulnerable thing in the world.”

Lin Rufei said, “Master Xuanqing himself is not afraid?”

Xuan Qingdao: “The monk’s life is worthless.”

Lin Rufei’s eyes glowed: “The life of an ordinary monk is probably worthless, but how can a master in Nanyin Temple compare with an ordinary monk?”

Xuan Qing’s face was helpless. I didn’t expect that the seemingly harmless Lin Gongzi took it seriously.

Lin Rufei said: “Besides, Master Xuanqing didn’t ask what happened last night and just let me go. Are you afraid of missing any key clues?”

Xuanqing said Amitabha, and troubled Lin Rufei to elaborate on what happened last night.

Lin Rufei attacked himself and was suppressed. When he nearly died, the temple of Tianjun suddenly ignited a fire.

He told Xuan Qing carefully. However, he deliberately skipped the “Tianjun”. For some reason, he always felt that this sentence was better not to let others know. There seemed to be some terrible things hidden in it, but Lin Rufei had no clue yet.

Xuan Qingdao: “That thing disappeared after the Tianjun Temple caught fire?”

“Um.” Lin Rufei nodded.

“Strange,” Xuan Qing said, “what the **** is this thing …”

If you are afraid of Tianjun, but there are so many Tianjun temples and sculptures in Dengxiao City, why isn’t the thing afraid at first? If you say that he is not afraid of Tianjun, why do you suddenly leave when Tianjun Temple is on fire? , To spare Lin Rufei’s life?

Xuan Qing squinted her eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.

Lin Rufei was beside him, slowly drinking tea.

The two were silent, but outside the inn came a carriage in the palace, saying that the sage had invited him. Xuan Qing wanted to go alone this time, but the servant in the carriage said that the saint had invited Lin Gongzi.

So in Xuan Qing’s sigh, Lin Rufei also got on the carriage.

The carriage entered the palace and soon reached its destination.

Lin Rufei and Xuan Qing responded to the palace people, and soon walked to a study-like building, but just before they entered, they heard the angry scolding sound of Bai Jinglun, which seemed to be reprimanding someone. . When the palace people saw this scene, they showed a tense expression, raised their hands and knocked carefully on the door. After a while, they heard a salty “come in”.

Lin Rufei and Xuan Herring rushed in and saw the white-faced Jing Jinglun and the two princes kneeling in front of him. Prince Tianrui was also present, but apparently he was not interested in the scene where Laozi scolded his son. Drinking tea leisurely on the chair, when they saw Lin Rufei coming, they also showed a warm smile to them.

“What happened?” Xuan Qingming had already guessed what had happened, but still pretended to be innocent and blinked, “Why is God so angry?”

“It’s all my good son.” Bai Jinglun gritted his teeth, “I said! What stupid thing did you do on the day the three princesses were unconscious!”

The sixth prince was young and was scolded by his father so severely. He was crying and out of breath. The second prince still gritted his teeth and stiffened, but his eyes were already red, and he trembled and said what happened that day.

It turned out that the third princess planned to leave the palace with the maid to see the lights, but met the second and sixth princes halfway through. The three princesses passed through and punished the maids under the door of the three princesses. The three princesses went back in tears, but no one knew that something had happened after returning. Not only the personal maid died, but she also fell into a coma. The princes realized that if the Holy Ghost knew it, they would be angry, so they wanted to hide it. But who knew that an accident happened later, and the two of them were almost killed by the thing, and then they regretted that they should not hide …

Having said that, Kerin Rufei felt that when the two princes lied yesterday, there was no hesitation.

After listening to a few sneers, Bai Jinglun raised his foot on the second emperor’s shoulder, and he gave him a sting. He pointed at the second emperor’s nose and cursed: “Dispute? You obviously slap your sister. You call this a dispute? Who gives you the power to fight her? Your mother ?! “

When the second prince heard the word “mother mother”, she suddenly turned pale and knelt down on the ground trembling, and she dared not refute anything. The sixth prince cried out of breath, and said, “Father, don’t blame your brother, it’s all that wild species … that wild species scolds the brother first!”

As soon as the word “wild seed” was spoken, the six princes were slapped on the face, but it was not the holy fight, but the brother he wanted to protect. The second prince looked ironed and said, “Guanlan, shut up!”

The sixth prince cried.

Bai Jinglun squinted his eyes at the two kneeling sons and said, “Wild seed? Okay, call your sister, Wild Seed.”

The second prince finally couldn’t help but cried, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

In the end, Rui opened his mouth during the day, persuading him: “Brother, the child speaks in the same way. If he can learn the word wild, it must be that the servants beside him are unqualified. You and the two children are not qualified. what.”

Bai Jinglun whispered coldly: “Come here, take down their close servants, two hundred sticks.”

When the six princes heard the words, their eyes widened, but his brother covered his mouth.

The emperor ordered two hundred sticks. This person is dead. Even if he is physically strong and survives, his lower body is definitely dead. The emperor’s move shows that he is killing chickens and monkeys, and servants. He warns the queen’s mother.

Having said all this, Bai Jinglun again brought the princes down. The sixth prince was a half-old child, and there were not so many things in his mind. When he was about to leave, he was freed from his brother’s life, facing Bai. Jing Lun shouted, “Father Emperor is partial! Her demon girl is not worthy of being my sister!”

Bai Jinglun’s complexion sank and he became angry again. The sixth prince added another sentence: “I do n’t know, the father emperor, she is proficient in the art of triumph, and she has hidden in the Royal Garden how many puppets and dolls, if you search carefully, you will definitely find it! Although she is comatose, but But there was no danger of life, and the only person who was almost strangled was me and the second brother. This must be her conspiracy! “

“Take it!” Bai Jinglun waved his hand.

The maids pulled the prince out of her mouth.

As soon as the princes left, the room suddenly became quiet and looked a little embarrassed. During the day Rui smiled and invited Lin Rufei and Xuan Qing to sit down, but this smile was frozen for a while when they noticed the sudden bruise on Lin Rufei’s neck. Bai Jinglun also noticed this anomaly, frowned, and asked Lin Rufei what happened last night.

Lin Rufei said what happened last night. When it was said that he had been saved by the Tianjun Temple suddenly struck by thunder, Rui looked at Xuan Qing during the day, revealing a thoughtful expression, saying: “Lin The son is really blessed. “

“Well, good luck.” Lin Rufei nodded.

During the day, Rui came to Lin Rufei’s side, carefully observed the traces on his neck, and hissed: “It’s strange, this handprint seems to be a little different from the Prince’s neck.”

“Where?” Xuan Qing asked.

“Isn’t this a big circle.” Daytime Rui said while making a gesture, using two hands to falsely ring Lin Rufei’s neck, “the two boys’ necks were only half The ring, this one on the neck of the son of Lin, is a full circle, isn’t it … “

“What is it?” Lin Rufei asked.

“Is that thing that likes you better?” Rui Rui smiled during the day, saying that her hands were closed, and the hot palms covered Lin Rufei’s neck.

Before Lin Rufei raised his eyebrows and didn’t speak, Bai Jinglun snapped sharply: “Tianrui, don’t be rude to Lin Gongzi!”

“Just a joke, just a joke.” During the day Rui Song let go, but his face still smiled and looked very fussy. Lin Rufei looked at him like this, and she really felt itchy.

“I was still thinking that the Prince’s words might be quite reasonable.” Rui Di said during the day. “Why is it that the second and sixth princes are in trouble? Is there any law hidden in them? But now the Prince Lin is also in trouble. The princes’ words are not Makes sense. “

“That’s not necessarily true.” Xuan Qing, who hadn’t spoke much, said suddenly.

“Oh, why is this not necessarily the case?” Rui Dao said, “Master Xuan Qing, what’s your opinion?”

Xuan Qingdao: “Since the two princes vowed to say that there are a lot of things in the Royal Garden, why not send someone to check them out?”

Daytime Rui seemed to want to say something, but finally held back.

Bai Jinglun agreed with Xuan Qing’s proposal and waved his hands to signal the guards to search carefully in the Royal Garden, and not to let go of any corner where things could be hidden.

The author has something to say: Lin Rufei: The third day of the senior’s offline

Gu Xuandu: Miss me?

Lin Rufei: I sneaked into a vest and stabbed me.

Gu Xuandu: ………………
