The woman in front of the dressing table looks like she is only in her twenties. She is wearing a splendid red dress like the sunset, with a floor-length skirt and a blue silk shawl, like flowing clouds.
If she were not in Tianxiang Pavilion, no one would think of her as one of those ordinary madams in Fengyan Tower who are in their forties, have thick waists and fat hips, but always pretend to be charming.
Of course, in ordinary Fengyan Tower, a young lady who is so delicate and sweet, and who is better than a spring flower, will not be the madam.
Xu is an old city like Jinzhou that is in urgent need of restoring its former vitality after the war. It needs to draw more fresh blood, so the young Tianxiang Pavilion is naturally in charge of the young old bustard.
Beauty will always grow old, but it is difficult to find the traces of time on Ru Yu's face.
Ten years ago, Tianxiang Pavilion was newly built, and she became the madam here at the age of half an old lady. Now ten years have passed, but time has only added a more mature and charming charm to Ruyi. If not, she must have Jiang Canjun wouldn't have been under her pomegranate skirt for the past ten years, unable to extricate himself.
Standing next to the beauty is the seemingly young Shang Que. The man who rescued her more than ten years ago is only a few years older than her, and his face is just like hers, unfazed by the passage of time.
No matter who is looking at them, they will feel that these two people are made for each other.
No matter who it is, as long as they take a look at them, they will be amazed by their appearance that has not changed for more than ten years. Even if the years are like knives, they have no way to deal with them, but they can only envy their eternal youth.
Shang Que held Ru Yuan's body with one hand and put his other hand lightly on her neck, checking for her pulse.
The beauty's delicate body trembled slightly. She was not used to the closeness of the person behind her. After all, the last time he was so close to her was more than ten years ago when she was saved by him and held in his arms.
She stretched out her right hand and slowly covered his right hand. She wanted to tell him that there was no need to worry about her and no need to waste his efforts on her.
She used a little force to grab his hand, fearing that he would ruthlessly break away from her hand like before.
Fortunately, this time he didn't.
Shang Que looked down at the dagger in Ru Yuan's belly again. The red clothes on his body only made the blood color more dazzling. A thin layer of frost condensed on the wound. His expression was gloomy. He closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it anymore. .
What happened these days was really too much for him to deal with. Maybe he didn't want to deal with it. Closing his eyes would make him feel more comfortable.
After a long time, Shang Que finally made his exit, breaking the silence in the room.
"Did Jiang Wan do it?"
Shang Que asked more or less knowingly. The exposed edge of the dagger in Ruyuan's belly was not only extremely sharp, but also as new as ever. The tiger stripes and gold rim on the handle also showed that not only had this dagger never been used for meat, but it was also valuable. Hidden items, ordinary killers would never use this kind of dagger to kill people.
Ruyi said: "Yes."
Shang Que said: "He should have left long ago, right?"
Ru Yuan said: "After inquiring about the several hall masters of Disha Gate leaving from the four city gates, Jiang Canjun left."
Ru Yuan naturally knew that Shang Que's question had another meaning. After calming down for a while, he added: "About half an hour later, a young man came. He helped me stop the bleeding and used extremely cold air to clot the wound. , inject some vitality into me..."
The rest goes without saying, Shang Que already understands it in his heart.
The opponent can think of every move in advance, and it can be said that all the tricks are taken.
But he had to thank this young man, otherwise, after arriving here, all he could do was collect the body as he wished, and he would not be able to talk to her like he is now.
Shang Que sighed, opened his eyes, and saw Ru Yuan's rouged lips, the color of which was still slowly fading away. He leaned over slightly and gently took him into his arms, injecting his inner strength into his body gently and soothingly. It lasts for a while longer.
He no longer closed his eyes, he just wanted to watch and guard the person in his arms during the short time.
His tone was originally light, but now it was even softer, "I told you before, there will be no good results if you follow me."
As I wished, I suddenly felt very happy. It would be great if this day came earlier, if this moment could be fixed forever.
Ru Yuan closed his eyes and said with a smile: "To die in the arms of the sect master is the best outcome in Ru Yuan's heart."
If a dying person closes his eyes, it will only speed up his farewell to this world.
Shang Que breathed out gently, waking up the sleeping beauty in his arms. He had to find some topics to talk to Ru Yuan for a while longer: "This time the opponent is very strong."
"I know... Jiang, Jiang Junjun has never been able to stay with me for two days in a row before. On the first day, he remained calm. On the second day, he asked his people to inform me in front of me. At that time, I knew everything about the movements of the Disha Sect." Ru Yuan tried her best to open her eyes, and her breath was much weaker than before.
Although they rarely get together, the tacit understanding between the two has never been reduced by half. Every time they come and go, they already know what they want to say. If it were originally, Shang Que would never waste more words, but now, But he wanted to say more, no matter what, he had to say it.
"When I realized something was wrong, I personally visited the government and the Chiang Kai-shek government, only to find that our opponent had figured us out clearly, and then easily dismembered a bull like a butcher, dividing it by three and five. Then the Disha Sect, which had been in business for more than ten years, collapsed."
Ru Yuan said: "Obviously, that young man alone cannot make such a thorough arrangement. Can you guess who the person behind him is?"
Shang Que said: "It would be fine if we weren't in Jinzhou. If in Jinzhou city, I can't think of a second person who can match his wit and strategy."
Ru Yuan said: "Sure enough, we all think the same thing... Next, are you going to meet Mr. Tinglan?"
Shang Que said: "It's time to meet this chess player."
Ru Yuan couldn't help but squeezed Shang Que's hand and said, "You have to be careful."
Shang Que instead grabbed Ru Yu's hand, a little excited and a little trembling, "I don't understand why Jiang Canjun wants to kill you? After all, you have never deceived him, and you gave him everything you have. Will years of love be exchanged for a dagger that will cut off all righteousness?"
"You know, he is very suspicious. He hates being taken advantage of. We have been walking on thin ice and operating carefully for ten years to gain his trust. When someone puts conclusive evidence in front of him, we tear up our trust. After the disguise, what about ten years of love? He was still used for ten years after all. He must have been shaken, so he stayed with me for three days and two nights to verify one by one. When he found out that these ten Years are just a scene, and it is rare for him to be able to control his anger and end it with only a dagger." Ru Yuan said many words in one breath, and his breath became weaker and weaker.
Shang Que said: "Why are you always so considerate? You always only know how to excuse others and live for others, but you forget the meaning of your own existence..."
Ru Yuan said: "Ru Yuan... I have not forgotten that it was the sect master who gave Ru Yuan this life. It was the sect master who gave Ru Yuan the hope of living. Although the sect master rejected Ru Yuan, Ru Yuan is willing to live for the sect master. As long as the sect master is safe. Well, if you get your wish, you will have peace of mind.”
Shang Que put his mouth close to Ru Yuan's ear and said, "Fool..."
Ru Yuan said: "The sect master just avoided the question of Ru Yuan. What are the sect master's plans after meeting Mr. Tinglan?"
Even with only one breath left, she was still concerned about his safety.
Hearing this, Shang Que was silent for a moment and then said, "Then, I will come back to accompany you."
After a long while, there was no movement of the person in his arms, and Shang Que discovered that Ru Yu had smiled and was the first to break away from the fetters of the mortal world.
——At least, she heard it, didn't she?
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
Midnight, west of the city.
In front of Mr. Tinglan's wooden house, a figure stood, seemingly waiting for someone in the house to make a sound.
"Tinglan is deeply honored that Master Shang has come to visit the humble residence. However, the timing of the visit is really inconvenient for Tinglan's daughter's family." As he spoke, Young Master Tinglan walked out of the wooden house and gently closed the door.
Shang Que said: "Oh, Shang thought that Mr. Tinglan had expected Shang to come and bother him. It turned out that Shang was abrupt. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Young Master Tinglan said: "When Tinglan had dinner tonight, he did guess that a noble person would come, but he didn't know that this noble person would come so late."
Shang Que said: "Master Tinglan, this is really embarrassing for Shang. Shang decided to do something at the last minute, so it was delayed for some time."
Only then did Mr. Tinglan look at Shang Que attentively. Under the moonlight, Shang Que looked even more evil. There was nothing unusual about his dress, but there were slight fluctuations in his steady aura, and there seemed to be a new addition to his left arm. The small wounds showed that he had fought with someone not long ago.
Young Master Tinglan asked, "Didn't the Master of the Shang Sect go to the Junjun Mansion?"
Shang Que said: "I really can't hide anything from Mr. Tinglan. Shang was defeated at the hands of such an enemy, and I am really convinced. By the way, Shang doesn't know if it is accurate to call Mr. Tinglan, or should I call you …”
Shang Que didn't say what he should be called. He was already 70-80% sure about Young Master Tinglan's true identity, but what Young Master Tinglan did really made him look at things in a fog, and he was a little confused in the end.
Young Master Tinglan said, "Just call Tinglan. The Lord Shang's appearance at night will cause quite a stir."
Shang Que smiled and said, "Shang's little fuss is nothing compared to Mr. Tinglan's ups and downs."
Young Master Tinglan said: "The Master of Shang Sect is wrong. Regarding the matter of your sect, Tinglan is just helping to make suggestions."
Shang Que was immediately confused and said, "Master Tinglan is saying that chess pieces are not chess pieces?"
Mr. Tinglan said: "That's not entirely correct. Who in this world cannot be called a chess piece? A chess piece is a chess piece, but a chess piece is willing to be a chess piece. It was the kid who found him first. Tinglan just followed the trend. "
Shang Que was even more puzzled and said: "Follow the trend? It's better to follow the general trend of the world. How can it be called following the will of one person? Why on earth does that young man hate my Dishamen so much?"
Mr. Tinglan said: "The general situation in the world is just a chaotic world. You can deduce it no matter what you want. As for why he picked on the wealthy faction, I can only say that he is unlucky."
Shang Que was completely confused and asked: "Is hatred related to luck?"
Young Master Tinglan said: "Sometimes it's so unbelievable. Does the Shang Sect Master remember the battle of Xishan Island three years ago?"
Shang Que said: "Remember, Bi E led the team there and lost a lot of people. Could it be that they came here for this?"
Mr. Tinglan said: "Exactly, those little soldiers you used to clean up the family killed this kid's relatives with their own hands. Unfortunately, they were caught by this little guy. After three years of hard training, he had some success, so he went straight to the noble sect to claim his life. coming."
Shang Que laughed. He naturally understood that the power brought by hatred cannot be ignored. Is it really the fate of the Disha Sect to have such a result?
Shang Que said: "Does he want to use the lives of everyone in Disha Sect to pay homage to his deceased relatives?"
Mr. Tinglan said: "It was like this at first, but now..."
Shang Que said: "Now is he merciful?"
Mr. Tinglan said: "He seems to have the same compassion for all living beings as the Shang sect leader. The Shang sect leader will let people go, so he should also let them go."
