Dark red blood soaked his eyes countless times. He waved the sharp blade in his hand almost mechanically, bringing up a cloud of blood mist with each stroke, but he could no longer tell whether it was his or someone else's.
of blood.
For a long, long time, until the whole body was exhausted and weak, a flash of sword light suddenly flashed before his eyes. An arm holding a sharp blade rose into the sky, and at the same time, a heartbreaking pain came.
He lowered his head in surprise, and a snow-white palm as hard as iron pierced his chest! The ice-like coldness penetrated deeply into his heart! The next second, the palm that he seemed to be very familiar with had already struck hard.
Crush his heart!
Tian Lan suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a huge white gauze ball. He then realized that this was his home, his room. A large and empty inner room, and a soft big bed.
, a white gauze curtain formed into a flower shape is loosely tied to the bedside. The decoration of the entire room is simple and elegant, without any unnecessary clutter.
He is seventeen years old this year, with long flowing black hair, clear eyebrows, and flawless handsomeness. His pupils are black, bottomless black, as deep as stars. When you look at his eyes, it seems to swallow your soul.
Go in.
You can vaguely feel that he has a unique aristocratic temperament, but unfortunately his face is too pale, as fragile as a piece of white paper, his chest rises and falls slightly, and his lips are so pale that they turn white.
"Meng...hu..." He murmured to himself, putting his arms on his forehead and covering his eyes, as if he was trying to calm his mind with such words and actions.
After calming down, he realized that his whole body was wet with sweat, his body was extremely tired, and his face was horribly pale, as if he had really experienced death. At least the despair remained in his heart.
He looked out the window in a blink of an eye. Outside the house, there were branches of crabapples with lush leaves and small pink-white flowers hanging on the branches. The warm wind blew by, and the petals were like snowflakes, fluttering in the wind, fluttering, and never stopped for a long time.
If we talk about a paradise, it is probably nothing more than a scene like this! The four seasons are like spring, the flowers and trees are opposite each other, there are birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, and the trickling water is so beautiful that it is not like the human world.
With such a small backyard and such a beautiful scenery, you can imagine how magnificent the entire mansion must be!
Suddenly, there were several "dong dong dong" knocks on the door, and soon after, the door was slowly pushed open. The first person who walked in was a young man, about twenty years old, wearing a piece of silver soft armor.
His face showed a heroic spirit.
Behind him was an elegantly dressed girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a sad look on her face, which still did not cover up her beauty. She had short brown hair, fair skin as crystal clear and delicate as dew, and her fingers were not as delicate as those of other ladies, but slightly
He looked rough, holding the tea steadily, and the faint fragrance of tea filled the whole room.
After the young man walked into the house, he carefully put away his aura and tried to smile stiffly, but he still couldn't hide the deep worry in his eyes. It seemed that something was bothering him and made him unable to stop.
Consciously showing such a look.
He walked quickly to the bed and whispered: "Xiaolan, why do you look so bad?"
Tian Lan cheered up and said with a smile, "It's okay, I accidentally fell asleep just now."
The girl put the tea on the table, turned around and walked over, standing aside. She had not looked away from him since entering the room, as if she had thousands of words to say to him, but she did not go beyond the rules and quietly waited for the young man to speak.
.
The young man said worriedly: "Your situation is getting worse and worse. Should you ask Senior Cang to come over?"
Tian Lan replied: "No need, Master, she... is of no use. I understand my situation very well."
The young man sighed, as if regretting that he could not protect him, and said sadly: "You should have a good rest, and if anything happens, call me." The man stood up and left, walked to the door, and looked back uneasily.
Then he walked out helplessly.
There was silence in the room. After a long time, the girl walked lightly to the bed, her beautiful eyes full of tenderness, and said: "Are you feeling better?"
He did not answer her. He opened his eyes and looked at the top of the curtain quietly. He was silent for a moment and said lightly: "Xiaotang, how many years have you been by my side?"
The girl known as Xiaotang leaned down and said, "Xiaotang has been by your side since he was seven years old. It has been almost ten years now."
He closed his eyes quietly and murmured: "Ten years... So I haven't left this home for ten years... Xiaotang, tell me, isn't the world outside very beautiful?"
Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, and she knew what he meant. After ten years of companionship, Xiaotang could accurately know his thoughts even if he didn't say anything, and Xiaotang would never and never wanted to disobey him.
She said gently: "Master, Xiaotang doesn't know. The only world in Xiaotang's world is the master and the begonia flowers in front of the house... But if you want to go, go ahead. As long as it is what you want to do, Xiaotang will not let you
Anyone stop you."
"Xiaotang..."
"It's just," Xiaotang held Tianlan's slender hand and said firmly: "Although Xiaotang is just a maid, Xiaotang can still protect you... So, please take Xiaotang with you! Please don't refuse.
, this is Xiaotang’s responsibility, and it is also... my wish."
That night, when the moonlight was strong and the breeze blew by, a few crabapple petals fell with the wind and piled on the ground, forming a winding flower path.
In the quiet night sky, two figures quietly climbed over the wall and passed by, accompanied by a few begonia petals falling down, leaving no trace.
Under the eaves, the young man in silver armor sighed, and casually picked up the small wine glass next to him. He was about to drink but stopped, and a touch of sadness came to his heart. Looking at the empty wall, he said to himself: "...are you really
Do you want to go to the outside world then? There is so much killing and blood hidden on the other side of the wall..."
--------------------------
Lingxiao City is a remote town in the southern part of the Qinglong Empire.
Today is an ordinary day, the sun is shining brightly, the wind is gentle, but it is destined not to be peaceful, because Lingxiao City ushered in a young man and woman. They wore white bamboo hats, and the white gauze hanging down covered their faces, making it difficult to see.
Their appearance is unclear, but their gender can be easily identified from their body shapes and voices.
The man was wearing a flawless white suit. The style was quite common, but it had an indescribable flavor about him. The whole person looked otherworldly and had an inviolable nobility.
The woman has a beautiful figure, a voice like an oriole, and every move is clear and lively. She is wearing a light yellow dress and a pair of slender white legs full of beauty. She looks like a blooming rose, enough to make countless
People are crazy.
These two people were Tian Lan and Xiaotang, who was inseparable from him. They walked side by side, chatting and laughing in low voices from time to time, and they were naturally happy.
There were many people entering the city, and the long queue could be seen from a distance. They were not in a hurry, and lined up waiting for the city guard to check. When the two of them were waiting, the city guard glanced at them.
He quickly wrote down their names on the roster and said: "You two! What are you wearing hats to cover up! Take them off!"
Xiaotang was a little dissatisfied with his attitude and said: "This is not secretive. The wind and sand on the road are so strong, isn't it natural to wear a hat?" Their dress is not special, many business travelers or loners are like this.
Dressed like this.
The city guard had never seen them before, so he said this because he was confused. His job was boring, and he would inevitably find some trouble with the people who entered the city. Usually, when he was in a good mood, he would not make things difficult for these passers-by.
However, when he met someone who dared to back him up, he naturally didn't look good at all.
"Don't pick it? Then don't even think about entering the city! Go, go, go! Find another place, you are not welcome in Lingxiao City!"
Tianlan frowned slightly but didn't say anything, but Xiaotang couldn't help it.
"You - hum, just take it off, you have to watch it." She took off the bamboo hat on her head, revealing a stunning face that would make a country beautiful. Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her delicate phoenix eyes, her red lips and upturned nose.
With jade skin and ice-cold skin, she looks a little childish yet heroic, and can touch people's hearts with every frown and smile. Her fair skin becomes even more shiny under the sun, making people unable to open their eyes.
"Ah...ah..." The city guard was dumbfounded, completely stunned by her beauty, and could not utter a complete sentence for a while. The passers-by around him were also attracted, and their voices of admiration could not be heard.
Tianlan chuckled lightly and said, "Okay, Xiaotang, let's go." After saying that, he walked into the city, as if he was in a deserted place. Xiaotang always listened to his words and followed him quickly, ignoring the surrounding people.
Come with envious eyes.
It wasn't until the two figures had completely disappeared from sight that the city guard suddenly woke up. A unique product has come to the city! The young master of the Jia family will definitely be very interested! The opportunity to make a fortune has come! He said nothing
, dropped the work, picked up the list and ran in the other direction of the city!
Of course, he did not expect how much trouble his tip-off would eventually bring to the Jia family.
