The candlelight flickered, and the room exuded a faint aura of decadence.
Inside the beaded curtain outside the Fuyao couch behind the screen, the cannibal brocade quilt that was supposed to cover the bodies of the two of them had already slipped to the edge of the bed, revealing the two people who were still in love with each other just now, but in an instant they became tit for tat. personal.
With gloomy anger in his eyes, Liu Mingzhi looked at Tao Ying, who had a delicate and blushing face with lingering fear and disappointment, and a look of deep disappointment and unwillingness in her eyes.
Young Master Liu let out a breath and looked cautiously at Tao Ying, who was staring at him with faint tears in the corners of her eyes. He nodded slightly and put the dagger between his two fingers in front of his eyes to look at it.
What is different from the previous dagger is that this dagger does not have quenching poison on it, and it is much smaller.
Although it is not as good as the previous poison-quenching blade that can blow and break hair, it is still a rare weapon that can easily kill someone.
If there was a sudden blow to the back of the heart or chest, even if he did not die, he would still be seriously injured.
Thinking of that moment when Tao Ying suddenly took out the dagger from the inside of the bed and stabbed her in the back of the heart, Liu Mingzhi's heart was still beating fast.
If I hadn't never completely believed that this Tao Ying was the kind of harried woman who would cheat on her and casually have sex with her good brother, I would have really confessed here today!
Silently staring at Tao Ying who looked regretful and staring at himself in a daze, Liu Mingzhi threw the dagger between his fingers heavily to the ground.
The sharp dagger body directly penetrated the bluestone floor tiles, causing the floor tiles to fall into pieces.
The dagger pierced into the floor tiles with a sharp clang sound, causing Tao Ying, a bewildered young woman with lifeless eyes, to react suddenly.
First she glanced at the dagger that was embedded in the floor tiles, and then turned to look at Liu Mingzhi, who had a gloomy look. Tao Ying bit her red lips until they were bloodless, and her eyes flashed with pain that she didn't want to believe.
"How could you escape my sudden attack at the last moment of love...the last moment of confusion and infatuation?"
Liu Mingzhi picked up the robe on the side and put it on his body. He leaned on the bedside and looked at the pretty woman Tao Ying with complicated eyes and exhaled.
"Good sister, you finally showed your hidden fox tail.
If you are a high-quality master, you may be able to sneak attack a man at that moment.
But it's only possible.
If you knew that I was a soldier, you should know why I was able to escape your sudden assassination plan at a critical moment and seize the murderous weapon you were holding to kill me!
The fighting on the battlefield has made me so sensitive to murderous intentions that I can react immediately even in my deep sleep.
What's more, I've been wary of you?
It’s just that I’m very puzzled. Why do you want to kill me even though you can throw away your own innocence? "
Tao Ying lifted up the brocade quilt that was placed on the edge of the bed and silently wrapped it around her beautiful body. She curled up on the bedside and looked at Liu Mingzhi with eyes filled with inexplicable meaning: "I...I..."
Looking at the painful look in Tao Ying's eyes, Liu Mingzhi rubbed his forehead and sighed.
"Tao Ying, I'd better call you Sister Tao Ying. From your reaction and look just now, I have already understood that your identity is indeed not the spy spy I initially suspected.
However, even if you are not a spy of the spy, your identity is definitely extraordinary.
What kind of deep hatred do we have between us? You actually want to kill me so deliberately?
In fact, there are too many people who want to kill me, and one more of you is nothing.
But at least let me understand, what kind of grudges do we have between us that require life and death?
who are you? What is your identity again?
And—and—"
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the bright red on the brocade quilt, and looked a little regretful: "You are obviously a girl, why do you pretend to be a woman?
You would rather commit yourself to me and sacrifice your innocence, or take my life.
What kind of hatred exists between us? "
Tao Ying looked at the clear confusion in Liu Mingzhi's eyes across from her. She looked at Liu Mingzhi hesitantly for a long time, with a painful look in her eyes.
"I...I have a mortal hatred for you."
Liu Mingzhi's body trembled, and he looked at Tao Ying's desolate look in shock: "No... sworn hatred?"
"Yes! I have sworn hatred. If I don't kill you, I will never rest in peace."
Looking at Tao Ying with hatred and complexity intertwined in her eyes, Liu Mingzhi carefully examined Tao Ying's appearance, recalling in his mind all the enemies who had been defeated in his hands and died tragically in the past ten years.
However, after spending about two sticks of incense, Liu Mingzhi finally found nothing.
He carefully recalled all the opponents who had a life-and-death hatred against him in the past ten years, but he was surprised that no opponent could overlap with the figure of Tao Ying in front of him.
You can count the number of enemies with whom you have sworn hatred on one hand.
But the identities of those people should not have anything to do with Tao Ying!
"You...is your real name Tao Ying?"
"Yes! My real name is Tao Ying!"
"Tao Ying! Tao?"
Liu Mingzhi rubbed his temples and fell into memories again.
During the Qingzhou disaster relief, among the officials he killed according to the Dragon Law, there seemed to be no officials named Tao, and they deserved their punishment. Even if there were Tao Ying's family members, they should not have sworn hatred against him.
The time when Jiangnan suppressed bandits? Are there any people named Tao among the bandits and officials?
It seems that the seventh elder of the White Lotus Sect was named Todd, but although he died in his own hands because of Shan'er's incident, he was the one to blame.
Every time after that, it seemed that there was no enemy named Tao anymore.
Could it be that Tao Ying was Tao De's daughter or sister, and she came to seek revenge on him?
"Are you a relative of Tao De, the seventh elder of the White Lotus Sect?"
Tao Ying frowned: "No matter how bad the little girl's identity is, she will not be involved with the gangsters."
"But he is the only person with the surname Tao who has enmity against me. Apart from him, I really can't think of anyone else with the surname Tao that I have developed enmity with over the years.
And there is still this kind of sworn hatred.
Let's not make any riddles, just tell the truth.
He spent two years trying to get close to me, and he was willing to give up his innocence just to be able to kill me with this dagger today.
How much you hate me.
You are still an innocent girl, you cannot be someone's wife or concubine.
In this case, apart from your family, I really can't guess who you are.
Who are you?
If you want to kill me, you have to let me know your identity.
And, do you know who I am?
Are you sure I am your enemy? "
Tao Ying sneered and stared straight at Liu Mingzhi: "Today is the king of a country. Liu Mingzhi, you don't know me, but I know you."
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes and looked at Tao Ying for a while in surprise, and sighed faintly: "Sister Tao Ying, just before you answered the question, I was still thinking about whether there was something between us. What misunderstanding exists.
Now it seems that there is really an old grudge between us that I don't know about.
Tell me your origins, and let me understand what grudges I have left behind that have not been resolved for so many years. "
Tao Ying was silent for a while, feeling the curiosity in Liu Mingzhi's eyes and her lips parting slightly.
"Tell me first, how did you know that I wanted to kill you?"
