The night is already very deep. In the distant pavilions and pavilions of Mengyunxuan, there are faint candlelights swaying uncertainly, like a dream.
In the dormitory, after all the excitement, Li Ruiyun fell asleep with a satisfied smile. Ding Mengxuan was left lying on the brocade couch, dejected and crying silently.
Thinking that Li Ruiyun had almost pervertedly abused her just now, but she was unable to resist, so she could only close her eyes and be forced to accept this violent storm.
At that moment, she felt as if her soul had been pulled away. She could no longer feel the heartache or shame. Only endless numbness and sorrow overwhelmed her.
She supported her still aching body, slowly got up, picked up the scattered clothes on the ground one by one, and put them on.
At this time, Li Ruiyun, who was lying on the bed, turned over and murmured vaguely in his sleep: "Mengxuan..."
She froze on the spot for a moment, then responded softly and reluctantly lay back beside him.
Leaning her back against him, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but she had no clue and her thoughts were in a mess.
The frogs croaking outside the window did not sound pleasant to her ears at all, but felt very noisy; her heart seemed to be hanging in the air, and she felt uneasy.
In her wild thoughts, sleepiness, exhaustion and the effects of drunkenness, she fell asleep unconsciously.
She didn't know when she fell asleep, but she was suddenly awakened by a strange sound.
She felt her heart pounding and bit her lips unconsciously. She curled up and remained motionless, just tilting her ears and listening carefully to what was going on outside.
That was the sound of the window lattice being knocked, and then a deep voice outside the window said: "Gang leader, are you asleep?"
Li Ruiyun responded softly, then quietly sat up, turned to Ding Mengxuan and called softly: "Mengxuan, Mengxuan..."
Ding Mengxuan's eyes were closed quietly, his delicate body motionless, and her long and narrow eyelashes were like a row of small fans, casting a faint shadow.
Her breath moved leisurely, and her slight snoring melted into the ambiguous air, accompanied by a unique sweet and fragrant smell.
Li Ruiyun called her twice more. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly and soundly without any reaction, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He quickly put on his clothes, got off the ground quietly, and tiptoed to the door. Just push the door open and leave.
When the man outside the window saw him coming out, he quietly gave him a wink and walked away; Li Ruiyun also followed behind with light steps.
The hazy moonlight flickered under the cover of clouds, casting a mottled shadow on the ground through the gaps between the trees.
There are also mountains, stone walls, peach trees, and willow trees, each with its own color and shape. Under the strange moonlight, they all seem to contain an ulterior secret.
Li Ruiyun and the man quickly arrived at the back garden of Meng Yunxuan and stopped.
The man in front turned around, cupped his hands slightly towards Li Ruiyun and said, "Gang leader."
The dim moonlight washed the visitor's jade-like face and his deep and solemn eyes. Three long locks of beard flowed across his chest, he held Fuchen in his hand and carried a sword on his shoulder, which further highlighted his immortal, free and elegant aura.
It is Taoist Priest Bai Yu, the elder of Tianxiao.
Li Ruiyun nodded at him as a response; then asked: "Is the Taoist priest's injury getting better?"
"I still need some time to recuperate -" Bai Yu's face was gloomy, covered with a layer of frightening frost, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Ling Yun, this brat, I will kill him one day!"
Li Ruiyun snorted softly, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be self-deprecating and sarcastic, "It has been several days, but there is still no whereabouts of Ling Yun?"
Bai Yu shook his head and said: "What a ghost! This kid is also injured, and our spies are everywhere. Where do you think he will hide? Why can't he even be seen for several days?"
As he spoke, his eyebrows were tangled and he fell into deep thought.
"Okay, let's not talk about him for now." Li Ruiyun frowned slightly and said a little irritably.
His deep eyes flashed and he got straight to the point, "The Taoist Master came here in the middle of the night. I think he has something important to tell me!"
"Exactly." Bai Yu took two steps forward and lowered his voice: "Just now, Commander Li sent news that our plan has been basically successful. Our people have been assigned to the prison, and they are specifically responsible for the area where Lu Wenzheng is. Food, daily life and other matters.”
"Really? That's great!..." Li Ruiyun said with bright eyes: "That old man Lu Wenzheng is smelly and tough, and he will not admit to murdering the prince even if he lives or dead; and that old man Zhao Fu, the king of Jinling, doesn't know what's good or bad." , doing everything possible to protect him.
"At the moment when there is nothing we can do, we finally see the light. I tell them to stay calm, wait for the opportunity, act carefully, and there must be no flaws. As long as the time is ripe, we will..."
At this point, he stopped talking, and his sharp eyes filled his narrow phoenix eyes with a layer of cold murderous intent.
Bai Yu said: "The gang leader is right. As long as Lu Wenzheng dies, the prince's matter will be settled. And the most important thing is that this old man's death will remove one of our biggest obstacles, and it will be easier for others to deal with." ; And our plan to build a nation is just around the corner..."
Li Ruiyun nodded and was about to say something else when his expression suddenly changed and he shouted in a deep voice behind the rockery not far away: "Who is there? Come out!..."
At this time, Bai Yu also noticed the unusual movement over there, and couldn't help but glance over.
——A few days ago, they took Ling Yun hostage and went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice to seize the dragon and phoenix jade talisman. Unexpectedly, Ling Yun detonated gunpowder and wanted to die with them. At that time, Bai Yu was seriously injured, his skills were greatly reduced, and his hearing, vision, movement, etc. were all greatly affected. influence, so the response is still a bit slow until now.
Back to business. But they said that when they found someone behind the rockery, they felt their hearts tremble, thinking to themselves: "This person heard the extremely secret conversation between them just now. If it were really spread, the consequences would be disastrous; so no matter who this person is, he must not Don’t let it go!”
The two of them were staring at that side with eager eyes, their eyes were like arrows, glowing with the cold light of a bloodthirsty maniac, which only made people tremble with fear.
The man hiding in the dark knew that he could no longer hide, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and slowly escape from behind the rockery.
"Mengxuan?" Li Ruiyun raised his eyes and was shocked, "Why is it you?..."
Ding Mengxuan's whole body was trembling, his face was ashen, his breathing was quickening, and his dull eyes were full of discouragement and despair.
Li Ruiyun's eyes looked at her, and a sharp and cold light suddenly flashed across them, and then dimmed in an instant.
He stayed where he was, his expression blank for a moment. The cold wind lifted up the black clothes on his body, like a black bat with cold-blooded desire, wanting to devour the person in front of him.
After a long time, he let out a soft sigh and said dumbly: "How long have you been here?"
Ding Mengxuan said nothing. She clutched her chest tightly, the heartbreaking pain making her almost breathless. She seemed unable to believe what she was seeing. Her delicate body was swaying in a daze, and she was about to fall to the ground.
Li Ruiyun said again: "Did you hear what the Taoist Master and I just said?"
Ding Mengxuan remained silent, as if he still hadn't reacted.
Li Ruiyun's cold black eyes were filled with broken waves, and he said sadly: "Oh! So you were not asleep just now. You shouldn't have, you shouldn't have followed here secretly even if you weren't asleep - Mengxuan, why do you want to follow?..."
Ding Mengxuan finally came to his senses and said with a wry smile: "I don't know why I followed you here by accident. If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known about these despicable and dirty things between you. You How wonderful it would be to say that!
"Li Ruiyun, I really hope that I can live in a dream all my life, live in confusion and know nothing all my life, but is this possible? Reality is reality after all, and all dreams will wake up one day. of……"
Li Ruiyun looked at her silently, sighed softly, and took two steps forward unconsciously.
"Don't come over! Don't come over!..."
Ding Mengxuan was so frightened that he backed away continuously and said in a trembling voice: "If you take one step closer, I will die in front of you immediately!..." As he said this, he reached out and took out a short blade from his arms and placed it across his chest.
Li Ruiyun had no choice but to stop a few steps away from Ding Mengxuan, "Mengxuan, promise me, just pretend that nothing happened today. No matter what you saw or heard tonight, don't tell anyone, okay?"
His voice was soft, completely different from those cold and strange eyes, and it sounded even more chilling in the darkness.
Before he finished speaking, Bai Yu said sarcastically from behind: "Gang leader, what are you talking about with this woman? Do you still expect her to keep secrets for you? You are too naive! If she wants to die, let her Go and die, it saves you the trouble of doing it yourself and a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Li Ruiyun's eyes were dark, like a ball of ink that could not be dissolved. "Taoist Master, do you know that Mengxuan is the only woman I love most in this life? I really love her! If it had been anyone else tonight, I would have Just do whatever you want, I won’t even blink, it’s just her, I really can’t do it!..."
"Li Ruiyun, you actually have the nerve to say you love me? Then I would be really flattered!"
Ding Mengxuan couldn't help but laugh sadly. I don’t know when it started, a little bit of disappointment gradually accumulated, turned into irreversible despair, until now it completely collapsed and exploded.
She stood there silently, without fear or crying. She only felt that her throat was dry, tears fell silently from her face, and her eyes were deathly silent.
"If you hadn't loved me so much, you probably wouldn't have used your identity as the eldest son of the Marquis Mansion to trick me into marrying you; and then you wouldn't have tricked me into marrying you when I was grieving for your fake death. You ruined my innocence because of your chastity; later you also made me pregnant, and used sweet words to sow discord between me and Ling Yun, causing me to turn against him...
"The so-called love you have for me is all built up with lies and deceit and your unscrupulous means - Li Ruiyun, thank you for your love, you have made my life a joke!..."
