Xiao Feng picked up Yan Zhihu, placed her gently on the hay, and raised her upper body to lean against him.
Yan Zhihu opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Feng, and smiled charmingly. Even under such severe pain, she still smiled so charmingly, as if this charming charm was engraved on her face and in her bones.
"Mr. Xiao, you really don't need to come out. I'm not lying to them. If I don't take medicine for a long time and don't practice with men, I will really die. I wouldn't live for a few days." Xiao Feng Nodding: "I know."
"Mr. Xiao, you shouldn't have come out. If you die, who will take care of my sister? What if Yu Dayou refuses to marry her? What will she do? Only if you speak out will Yu Dayou be willing to marry her. Otherwise, who will marry a notorious person? Where is Sister Rouge, are you right?" Xiao Feng nodded: "I know."
"Mr. Xiao, your gun is very powerful. If you didn't care at all from the beginning and just fired a few shots, you might have killed Yan Shifan. You still worry too much and always want to use good people's methods to fight bad people. If you do this, you will suffer in the future." Xiao Feng nodded: "I know."
"Mr. Xiao, we originally agreed that my sister would live and I would die. It would be best if I could help you find out all the evidence of Yan Shifan's rebellion before I die. Unfortunately, he is more powerful than we thought. He announced it in advance. In the end, all the prisoners in this cell have become his witnesses. You have to be careful when you go to court tomorrow." Xiao Feng nodded: "I know."
"Mr. Xiao, you know, my sister and I lost our parents when we were very young. I have always taken care of my sister. Originally, I wanted to find a good family, and I could work as a cow, a horse, or a concubine. , as long as my sister can marry upright and live a good life. But who knows, we will meet Xiao Wuji. Xiao Wuji is Xiao Wuyong's brother. You must have heard what Yu Dayou said." Xiao Feng nodded: " I know."
"Master Xiao, that night, I tried my best to take the Paradise Pill, tried my best to seduce Xiao Wuji, and tried my best to pretend to be my sister. Xiao Wuji was fooled several times, but I never met my sister in the end. Since then, I have I found that I pretended to look like my sister, but unfortunately, my sister pretended to be me. She was always a little bit worse. She pretended that I was helping you to do things, and the secret was almost exposed the night she ran away from the Yan Mansion. Fortunately, I prepared that in advance. A mole." Xiao Feng nodded: "I know."
"Mr. Xiao, later on, Yu Dayou refused to take us away, so my sister and I continued to wander. The poison broke out and I was dying. I took off my clothes and ran around, scaring my sister and hugging her while crying. Me. I really wanted to kill me at that time, but I couldn’t worry about my sister. At this time, Xiao Qin found us and said that he had killed Xiao Wuji and that he could help me cure my illness. He gave me the Paradise Pill and taught me how to practice. The Divine Art of Bliss resolves poisonous energy in the body and turns it into evil energy. We both thought he was a good person, so we followed him into the White Lotus Sect. But later I discovered that almost all the women who joined the sect were practicing Kung Fu. I secretly did it for my sister. I got sick twice, but I acted so well that I fooled them all into thinking that we were both practicing." Xiao Feng nodded: "I know."
"Mr. Xiao, I know your intention. If Yan Zhihu is left in the house, Yan Shifan must be on guard and won't let me go to court easily. But if you really leave my sister in the house, she won't be able to act well. If something happens, you will break your trust with me. After all, you are a good person." Xiao Feng nodded: "I know."
"Mr. Xiao, I have killed many people and done many shameless things that women should not do. They say I am a witch. Sometimes I wonder if I am actually born to be a lustful woman. The same thing happened to me. After marrying Xiao Wuji, Miss Yun is not as bad as me. Mr. Xiao, do you think I am a natural witch who just happened to be inspired by Xiao Wuji?" Xiao Feng paused for a moment and shook his head: "You are not, no one Yes. Some people, whatever they force people to be, will in turn say what they are born to be." Yan Zhihu was satisfied. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Feng, looking at the sharp-edged face with a youthful demeanor. His face suddenly smiled.
"Master Xiao, Yan Shifan was actually right. Sister Rouge, I really like you." Xiao Feng didn't say anything, but just held Rouge Hu's arms and trembled slightly.
Yan Zhihu suddenly didn't realize that her eyes were already a little distracted. She couldn't see the expression on Xiao Feng's face, but could only see the outline of that face.
"Mr. Xiao, do you know that when I first saw you, you were still telling fortunes on the street. I was originally going to check the identity of Thousand-Armed Tathagata, but I saw you. You didn't even go out before, so I I’ve heard of you, but never seen you. When I saw you, I thought to myself, this man is really good-looking. Really, I won’t lie to you, he’s not that good-looking in appearance, it’s like, I can’t tell, anyway. You are just good-looking. Later, my sister said, I don’t think you are as good-looking as Yu Dayou. Then I understood, it’s not that you are particularly good-looking, but that I fell in love with you at first sight, so I think you are good-looking, just like my sister fell in love with Yu Dayou at first glance. Same. Later, you told Zhang Tianci's fortune and the painting girl's fortune. I hid nearby to watch. You made me laugh so hard that I was almost discovered by the dead old man. Later, you beat Zhao Er and became a real person, so you don't tell fortunes. , I can no longer see you. But I always miss you, and I can’t explain why. Later, when you fought with Yan Shifan, I had the opportunity to see you several times, but I never dared to tell you You, guess, why?" Xiao Feng could feel Yan Zhihu's body trembling, as if he was very cold, and he hugged his arms slightly tighter.
"I can't guess it, just tell me." Yan Zhihu sneered like a little girl: "Liar, you are so smart, how could you not guess it? Forget it, I'll tell you. My sister likes it Yu Dayou, she has the right to like you. But I like you, how can I have the right to like you? Don’t talk about my body, even the things I do, she is not qualified. Don’t talk about my killing people and practicing martial arts, just say When you were fighting Yan Shifan, I didn't dare to help you. If he found out, my sister would be in danger. Although I like you, if I have to kill you to save my sister, I have no choice but to I have no choice but to kill you. I have to save my sister. But I have thought that if I really have to kill you, after I have settled my sister in the future, I will commit suicide and go find you and explain it to you. You are so kind. , you will definitely forgive me. Mr. Xiao, you will, right?" Xiao Feng nodded: "Yes, I will." Yan Zhihu was happy, her eyes were no longer visible, she raised her hand, wanting to touch Xiao Feng's face, but the iron chain was too heavy for her to lift, so it hung down again.
Xiao Feng picked up the Xiuchun knife and chopped it on the iron chain. Yan Zhihu heard it and shouted anxiously.
"Don't, don't chop! If you cut off the chain, Yan Shifan's words about your robbery will be more real. Just pick up your hand for me." Xiao Feng chopped twice, knowing that although the Xiuchun knife is sharp, He couldn't exert any strength while sitting, so he would end up cutting the thick iron chains.
He put down the knife, picked up Yan Zhihu's hand, and put it on his face.
"Master Xiao, let me tell you a secret. I guess Xiao Wuji is not dead. If you meet him in the future, please help me kill him. In this life, he is the person I hate most, even more than I hate Yan Shifan. ." Xiao Feng nodded: "Okay, I'll kill him." Yan Zhihu thought for a while, then shook his head: "Xiao Wuji is very powerful. Your kung fu is no worse than mine now, but my sister and I may not be as good together. You can beat him. You'd better stop and let Yu Dayou kill him, he can't beat Yu Dayou. If you ask Yu Dayou to kill him, he will definitely listen." Xiao Feng forced a smile, and tears finally fell from his cheeks.
"Okay, I don't need to tell him, he has to kill him too. He is your brother-in-law, and he has to listen to you." Yan Zhihu smiled and licked his lips with satisfaction, like a child who had never eaten candy before eating a piece. Same as sugar.
"Mr. Xiao, actually, I'm really scared today. I'm not afraid of death, and I'm not afraid of having my hands and feet broken, and being tortured like an animal. But I'm afraid of being seen by you. You may not have noticed that every time I have a chance When I appear in front of you, I always dress up the most beautiful. I hope you can remember the time when I was most beautiful. I was afraid of being seen by you. I lay on the ground like an animal and was beaten by those dirty and smelly men. Tossing." Xiao Feng's tears rolled down as he recalled the only few times he met Yan Zhihu in his mind.
I didn't notice her deliberate dressing up at that time, but now that I think about it, it was indeed more exquisite than Rouge Leopard's makeup when she saw her.
Xiao Feng suddenly realized that he could recognize the two sisters at a glance every time. He originally thought that it was because he had a sharper vision than others, but now he realized that it was not the case.
Rouge Tiger always deliberately pretends to be more like Rouge Leopard in front of others. But in front of herself, she never pretends. She should hope that she can remember her, not the Rouge sisters.
She was afraid that she would see her being tortured, but she still reminded herself loudly not to come out. How uncomfortable she must have felt at that time.
Xiao Feng hugged Yan Zhihu tightly, Yan Zhihu's hand felt wet, and she smiled happily.
"Mr. Xiao, stop crying. A woman like me is not worth your crying. Just smile. You don't know, I love seeing you smile the most. When you smile, I feel like even the wind is warm. This In the past two years, I have seen your smile become less and less. Most of the time it is a fake smile or a forced smile. You should smile, really smile, I want to see it." Xiao Feng nodded, not knowing whether it was a smile or not. He cried, or he cried and laughed. In short, Yan Zhihu felt both a smile and tears on his face.
"Mr. Xiao, I have slept with many men in my life. Some were for practicing martial arts, some were for killing people, and some were forced to do nothing. But no good man has ever slept with me. Whether it was for practicing martial arts, killing people, or being forced to do so. I'm so helpless. Some of them act like gentlemen when they don't take medicine, but they act like beasts when they take medicine. Some of them are already like beasts when they don't take medicine. Really, no good person has ever slept with me. I I know you are not afraid of the Divine Art of Paradise, but you said, if I want to sleep with you, you...will you sleep with me?" Xiao Feng never knew that a woman could say such vulgar words so heart-breakingly.
She is indeed a bad person, but has she ever had the chance to be a good person?
"I will, as long as you want, I will sleep with you." Yan Zhihu was satisfied. She felt Xiao Feng hugging her arms tightly, feeling the body temperature coming from Xiao Feng's chest, and suddenly thought of something, eagerly said.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, I...I'm not wearing any clothes on my upper body. You, please don't look at me. Don't look at me, okay." For the first time in her life, her pale face showed a shy look, and that blush was like Like a wisp of red cloud floating in the dark night sky, or like a lotus growing on the muddy swamp.
If it were someone else, they might find it funny that a woman who can roll naked on the bed with a man and let other men watch, could be shy?
But Xiao Feng didn't feel this way at all. He knew that she was not shameless, she had just been acting for so long that she had forgotten that she was acting.
Now she can finally take off all disguises and rest peacefully. Even if everything was dirty, there was always a small corner in her heart. Before she met Xiao Wuji, the girl with dreams was still alive in that corner.
Xiao Feng took off his blood-stained white robe, tightly wrapped Yanzhihu's disheveled upper body, held her tightly in his arms, and whispered like a child.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll cover it for you. I can't see, ah." Rouge Tiger shrank shyly, and then stopped moving, just like a girl happily lying in the arms of her lover, sleeping. The same thing happened.
Her hand slipped from Xiao Feng's and fell to the ground. Xiao Feng hugged her body that was gradually becoming colder, trembling all over.
After an unknown amount of time, the cell door was pushed open and Zhan Feiyun walked in. The soldiers and horses were withdrawn, and the prison chief was also taken away. Zhang Juzheng made a guarantee, and Zhan Feiyun temporarily guarded the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Zhan Feiyun walked up to Xiao Feng and whispered: "Brother Xiao, go home. The longer you stay here, the worse it will be for you in the court tomorrow." Xiao Feng slowly put down Yan Zhihu and looked at it. Those prisoners pretended to be asleep, but their eyes were scanning around the rouge tiger like hungry wolves.
"Feiyun, help me guard this place. Although the cell doors are locked, some of these prisoners have keys. If any of them dares to approach her, you will kill him for me. I will bear all the consequences. Come and bear the responsibility." Zhan Feiyun nodded: "Don't worry, so many people died in this prison tonight, no one knows how many more people will die. If they don't come out, I might kill a few of them if I don't like them. "One." The prison was quiet for a moment, and then snoring started all around like a competition, as if they were afraid that their sleep would not be realistic enough and Zhan Feiyun would think it was dishonest.
Xiao Feng walked out of the prison. It was still dark and the air was filled with the smell of blood. Without the white robe, the cold seemed to become biting. He had deep internal strength and was no longer afraid of the cold and heat, but now he couldn't help but shiver.
That night, too many people died. She was actually just a woman who was bound to die and deserved it. Why was he so sad?
He suddenly remembered the story he told Wang Yingxiang. He suddenly hated himself and forgot to tell her again.
That way she will understand that although she is a bad person, it is not her fault. She has never had the chance to be a good person.
Xiao Feng walked back to Xiao Mansion in the dark. The door of Xiao Mansion was broken. Lu Pingshan was leading several craftsmen to repair it overnight. When he saw Xiao Feng, he was shocked.
Xiao Feng held a musket in one hand and a Xiuchun knife in the other. Only Tsing Yi, no white robe, with blood all over his body and red eyes, like a murderous god coming out of the darkness, more terrifying than Zhang Wuxin.
"Master Xiao, Master Xiao, what's wrong with you? The ladies are still worried about you. Go into the house quickly. Master Yu and the others were brought back by the Jin Yiwei. Master Lu said that there is a curfew in the city before dawn, and no one is allowed to leave. The house is here!" Xiao Feng staggered into the house. The blood stains on the ground were still there, and the body had been taken away by the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
Several Wudang disciples were bandaging each other's wounds in the front yard. An Qingyue, dressed in red makeup, was helping everywhere.
Gu Xuzi stood in the yard distressed, looking into the room, but he didn't want to be seen by his disciples. When he saw Xiao Feng, he went up to him and slapped him on his head.
"Brother Xiao Dao, did you hear that Wu Xin came back and said that Yan Shifan has returned to Beijing again? You were right again, but he was so blatant. What kind of medicine is being sold in this gourd?" Xiao Feng solemnly replied to Gu Xuzi: " Brother Taoist, Xiao Feng has repeatedly troubled fellow Taoists in Wudang Mountain, and he has really caused trouble for you. If any of our brothers are injured, I would like to ask Brother Tao to express my condolences. All expenses incurred by his family will be borne by Xiao Feng from now on." Gu Xuzi smiled: "One family does not speak the same language as the other. Wudang disciples, with so many Taoist brothers taking care of them, have a bright future, and it is not in vain for them to learn skills. People in the world of martial arts dance with swords and perform chivalry. Being righteous is like licking blood with the tip of a knife. Whether it is defending the Tao and conquering demons or self-cultivation, it all depends on fate." Xiao Feng nodded and continued to walk forward. Yu Dayou and others saw him and came up to him.
"Master, as you expected, there are not many people attacking Xiao Mansion, and we can handle it. According to your instructions, I did not let the monk soldiers who were ambushing in the unfinished second floor of the Luping Mountain next door show up. Xiao Feng nodded: "Although those monk soldiers are wearing the clothes of your servants, it is easy to reveal your identity if you make a move. It would not be good if people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division see it. Anyway, these monk soldiers are just in case." If I make a mistake in judgment and too many people come, they will have to show up as a last resort. This is good now." Yu Dayou said worriedly: "Master, did Yan Shifan set up some poisonous plan? When we arrived at the Ministry of Justice as planned, , why are there people from Dongchang there? I said it was broad daylight, why are all the people from Dongchang wandering around on the street? It turns out they have some conspiracy!" Xiao Feng waved his hand: "Go and rest, it's so big Let’s talk about it in court tomorrow!” Yu Dayou was worried, but seeing that Xiao Feng was extremely tired, he didn’t dare to say any more.
He cupped his fists and saluted and retreated. The women in the backyard were speechless when they saw Xiao Feng's appearance.
Even the princess silently stepped back and pushed Liu Xueer forward. Liu Xueer took the knife and gun from Xiao Feng, put them away, and then took Xiao Feng's hand back to the central hall, where she and Xiaomei helped Xiao Feng wash his face and change his clothes.
Xiao Feng sat dumbly, like a puppet, his mind was spinning and thinking, but he had no reaction to the people and things around him.
After washing up, Xiaomei gently closed the door and went back to the cabin next door. Liu Xueer helped Xiao Feng lie down on the bed and gently held one of Xiao Feng's arms in her arms.
In the dark prison, Zhan Feiyun sat next to Yan Zhihu's body, his two shining golden hands dripping with fresh blood. The prisoners in the prison were silent and silent.
On the horizon, a ray of morning light finally appeared in the east, announcing that this extremely long night was about to pass.
