On the top of Shenyin Pavilion, Li Haomiao and Yan Yi were walking in the air.
In just a few breaths, the two of them arrived at the attic.
In the attic, the woman in purple was leaning on the railing and looking with her hands folded in front of her. It seemed that Li Haomiao, who had come from the sky, had a surprisingly indifferent expression, as if he had met a stranger.
Yan Muyan turned around and gently sat down at the tea table.
The spring water in the mountains nearby has been boiling for a long time, waiting for Yan Muyan to make tea and pour water.
Li Haomiao landed lightly on the attic and looked at the woman in purple, with a bit of melancholy and tenderness in his eyes.
The worst thing is that the world can't keep it, and the beautiful face is like the flower in the mirror and the tree.
The bright and splendid girl twenty years ago has become a gentle and dignified woman. Dressed in luxurious purple clothes, you can still see some of her style from many years ago.
The two looked at each other in silence. Yan Yi looked at the two of them with wide eyes, curious about what would happen next.
Li Haomiao walked over and sat opposite Yan Muyan. After sighing a few times, he fell into silence again.
After not seeing each other for many years, there seemed to be a lot of topics missing between the two of them, and neither of them even said hello first.
Li Haomiao shrunk and sat awkwardly opposite Yan Muyan, hiding his hands under the table, not as carefree and unrestrained as usual.
The spring water trickles, steaming with steam, and flows into the purple clay pot.
Yan Muyan picked up the purple clay pot and filled it with tea, and the aroma of tea overflowed.
"You said that you can't use boiling hot water for these green leaves before the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, the tea fragrance will lose its original tranquility." Li Haomiao said lightly.
This is what Yan Muyan said when he made tea for Li Haomiao for the first time many years ago.
Yan Muyan's tea-making hand hung in mid-air, and she raised her eyes to look at Li Haomiao. The middle-aged man in front of him seemed to have returned to the young man in bright clothes twenty years ago with only the blue sky in his eyes.
"It's rare that you still remember." Yan Muyan said lightly.
Li Haomiao also said: "I remember every word you said."
Yan Muyan raised her beautiful eyes, and the joy in her eyes quietly disappeared, replaced by a cold snort.
"Do you still think I'm the little girl from many years ago? Don't try to deceive me with these sweet words."
Li Haomiao listened to Yan Muyan's words and even said: "In my eyes, you are still the same Yan Muyan you were before, as bright and moving as when I first met you."
Tsk, tsk, tsk, that little mouth is so loud... Yan Yi looked at the two of them, no wonder this woman was deceived by him, she is really powerful.
What woman doesn't like to hear compliments?
Especially older women like young and beautiful words the most.
Yan Muyan pretended not to care, looked at Li Haomiao and said, "Back then, you left the North without leaving a word. Why are you back now?"
Li Haomiao was stunned for a moment, looking a little lonely, and then looked at Yan Yi who was sitting on the railing.
Li Haomiao didn't answer, but his eyes said everything.
Yan Muyan followed Li Haomiao's gaze and said softly: "You have been coming to Beiliang Mansion for a long time, but you have not planned to come to see me. Is it because you feel guilty and dare not see me? Or are you? Have you found a new love and forgotten your old love?"
Li Haomiao could hear the resentment in Yan Muyan's words. In the past twenty years, Li Haomiao has never set foot in the northern border, and he has never seen Yan Muyan.
Li Haomiao lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I was indeed ashamed of you back then. Even in the past twenty years, I have never given you any explanation. It was me who was sorry for you. You are right. I feel guilty and dare not meet you."
"Then you dare to come to see me now. Someone must have said something to you." Yan Muyan guessed. Her tone was extremely positive.
It is what it is, no guesswork.
Li Haomiao's silence was his response to Yan Muyan.
If Nie Feng hadn't told him clearly, he would have been kept in the dark for the rest of his life.
"So, why did you leave without saying goodbye?" Yan Muyan's turn came suddenly. After all, this is something she has been struggling with for twenty years.
Li Haomiao smiled bitterly. He had no choice but to do so back then. He didn't believe that Yan Muyan didn't know, let alone that after so many years, Shenyin Pavilion wouldn't know the truth.
"You should know better."
"I want to hear you say it face to face!"
Immediately, Li Haomiao sighed. Even the dignified swordsman master must bow his head before the purple-clothed woman in front of him.
"Twenty years ago, the last Chu emperor was critically ill, the situation in Kyoto was in turmoil, and various forces were surging. Brother, please ask me to return to Beijing, secretly..." Li Haomiao recounted what happened that year. Very few people know about these things, so they can be called secrets.
But for Shenyin Pavilion, there are very few things in the north that Shenyin Pavilion doesn't know about.
Yan Muyan listened carefully, and Yan Yi also stretched his ears, curious about the secret of that year.
Li Haomiao drank cup after cup of tea, looking remorseful and apologetic.
"The throne has not yet been decided, and those princes are ready to make moves. Faced with the imminent reshuffle of power, the battle in Kyoto becomes more and more intense. I stayed in Kyoto for half a year, thinking that after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, I would be able to complete the task and return to the north. However, things were far away. Far exceeded my expectations.”
"Beidou Camp was ambushed, and some of the Seven Star Generals also died. The life and death of my eldest brother are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown. When I rushed back to Beiliang Mansion, I only took over a newborn baby from my sister. She said, this is Big brother’s bloodline.”
"In just a few days, the Beidou Camp across the northern border was completely destroyed. At that time, I knew that it was not that simple. I took the baby and hid here and there, not daring to show up."
Hearing this, Yan Muyan asked: "Why don't you come to Shenyin Pavilion to find me?"
Li Haomiao looked at Yan Muyan with helplessness in his eyes.
"I have thought about looking for you. But I am worried that this matter will affect the Shenyin Pavilion. In the Beidou Camp back then, there were seven-star generals and even Big Brother, but they still could not escape the disaster of destruction. What about your Shenyin Pavilion?"
"Back then, Shenyin Pavilion was not the number one sect in the North. Even now, I'm afraid it's hard to stop the sect from being destroyed."
Yan Muyan was silent, did he dare to protect me?
"Later, did you know who the enemy was who destroyed Beidou Camp?"
Li Haomiao nodded and sighed. "Three months later, my sister also verified the matter. The enemy was Xiang Ji and his Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry. But it was too late. Beidou Camp had been destroyed, and everything was sealed as top secret. The remaining When a soldier retires into seclusion, he is even charged with treason.”
"At that time, my only thought was revenge!"
"In short, I, Li Haomiao, failed you!"
Li Haomiao lowered his head. He felt guilty and had felt guilty for twenty years.
Yan Muyan looked at Li Haomiao with a lot of thoughts in her heart.
In the past twenty years, she had thought about going down the mountain to ask Li Haomiao for an answer, but she had never taken the next step.
Yan Muyan, who knew everything, could easily understand Li Haomiao's choice.
At that time, Li Haomiao was not the master of swordsmanship he is today, so he could only avoid the edge for the time being and hold back. He didn't want to implicate Shenyin Pavilion, let alone drag Yan Muyan into danger.
But Yan Muyan could never pass this test in her heart.
"I once swore to you that we would share weal and woe. In this case, did you break your oath, or should I be struck by lightning?" Yan Muyan said.
Li Haomiao knew that Yan Muyan was serious, so he said, "It should be me."
"I wish it was you! The heartless man struck by thunder!"
...
boom!
Yu Zhi threw a red fire talisman downwards. After an explosion, the light of the flames gave him a glimpse of the surrounding environment.
The dark rocks are covered with dark trees, and even the leaves are as black as ink.
Everything around him was tinged with darkness.
Dark, depressing, and countless negative emotions emerged in Yu Zhi's heart.
The flames caused by the red fire talisman only burned for a moment before being swallowed up by the surrounding darkness.
The airflow caused by the explosion of the talisman held up the bodies of Yu Zhi and the two of them, and instantly slowed down their fall.
But the moment the air flow dissipated, the two of them continued to fall downwards.
At this moment, when Yu Zhi looked above his head again, even the last bit of light disappeared.
Yu Zhi was thoughtful and suddenly said to Li Wantong: "Tong'er, I think I have a way to save us."
In an instant, Yu Zhi circulated his true energy and filled his eyes with it.
The next moment, everything in the darkness became much clearer.
It really worked... Yu Zhi felt happy. As long as he could see clearly everything in the darkness, he could predict the time to reach this mysterious bottomless pit in advance.
In this case, Yu Zhi can use the red fire talisman to slow down himself and Li Wantong.
There are still eighteen red fire talismans left, which can be used completely.
When Yu Zhi looked toward the soles of his feet, he still couldn't see the end.
The bottomless pit is by no means bottomless. Yu Zhi believes that it will reach the end, but what exactly exists at the bottom of this cliff?
Yu Zhi couldn't help but start to worry again.
But now, Yu Zhi can only take one step at a time.
"Tong'er, do we share weal and woe?" Yu Zhi said jokingly.
At this time, Li Wantong suddenly remembered Yu Zhi's life experience mentioned by Mr. San, and said: "Yu Zhi, no matter what happens in the future, I will be with you. Let's face it together, okay?"
Yu Zhi was stunned, wondering why Li Wantong would say this.
But Yu Zhi still shook his head and said, "I will stand in front of you no matter what. Otherwise, my aunt will not be able to spare me."
"I'm serious." Li Wantong hugged Yu Zhi tightly.
Yu Zhi felt sweet in his heart, this wife was indeed the right wife.
"Yu Zhi, if we can survive, we will get married, okay?"
Yu Zhi continued to be stunned. After falling off the cliff, Li Wantong was more proactive than usual, or more brave.
You know, the two of them have known each other for only a few months.
Using a few months to decide life events for the next few decades sounds very hasty and hasty.
However, in the past few months, Li Wantong has experienced a life that he had not experienced in the previous ten years.
Time passes and people's hearts are revealed.
Time is the criterion for testing a person.
But crisis is the key to testing a person.
Sharing weal and woe, today is the true sharing of weal and woe. The previous crises were all caused by Yu Zhi standing in front of him.
Yu Zhi lowered his head and kissed Li Wantong's forehead gently.
"Okay, when we return to Kyoto, we will get married."
