The autumn night is as cool as water. The town is located on the edge of a mountain, and it is a bit colder than elsewhere. The wind blows quickly through the branches, as if it is about to sweep down the half-fallen leaves again. The half-open long window is blown by the night breeze.

There was a soft squeaking sound, and the wind was cold and thin, like a cold winter night.

A candle was burning awkwardly on the candlestick covered with thick putty. The light was dim and shaky and might go out at any moment. Luo Kui pulled out the silver hairpin from her hair and plucked it, frowning, but still felt it wasn't bright enough.

Du Heng turned around, took the bronze carved lamp holder and the bright candle and lit it. The elm square table suddenly became as bright as daylight, illuminating Luokui's thin shoulders, and his shadow was burned on the ground, becoming more and more thin like a thin piece of paper.

A small copper lion incense burner was placed on the black lacquered table beside the bed. A bunch of tranquility incense was burned inside, and the smoke curled up, leaving strange and thin traces in the void.

Luo Kuisu turned her hand over, and several pieces of paper appeared in her palm. She read them one by one and let out a long sigh. She had left Qingzhou for several months and had accumulated too much unfinished business. It seemed that she was going to be very busy tonight. She bent over her desk and wrote a book.

After an hour, he finished writing it and handed it to Du Heng behind him, instructing him to return to Qingzhou overnight to cook.

After Du Heng left, Luokui pressed her forehead and brushed her sleeves on the square table. A compass and a yellowed fragment suddenly appeared on the table. She lowered her head and read each word carefully, occasionally picking up her pen.

A few strokes were written on the scroll, and sometimes a spell was struck on the compass, showing a few rays of light.

Suddenly there were footsteps approaching, which were very clear in the silent night. Without turning around, Luokui could already tell that it was Jingmo who was coming. Her steps were a little heavy and staggering. Before she could think about anything, she raised her hand on the table.

He wiped it across the desk very quickly, and the compass and scroll disappeared immediately.

After doing this, Luokui suddenly felt his shoulders sink and his ears felt hot. It was Jingmo who placed his chin on his shoulders while drinking.

Luokui looked back and saw that Jingmo's face was pale, his eyes were full of scarlet bloodshot eyes, and his body was full of the smoky smell of alcohol. She didn't know how much wine she had drunk, and she was still drinking. Although she didn't know what happened.

But it can force Beijing and Mo to

It must not be a trivial matter for such a shallow-minded person to drink away his sorrows. He helped him sit down on the edge of the bed and said softly: "Why are you drinking so much wine in the middle of the night? Go and rest earlier."

We will set off back to Qingzhou tomorrow."

Jingmo burped hard, and the smell of alcohol hit Luokui's face, which was hot and fishy. He tried to press the button several times but couldn't press it down. He finally blurted out: "I don't want to go back to Qingzhou.

I want to go back to Yangzhou."

Luokui turned her face sideways to avoid the smell of alcohol, thinking that Jingmo was afraid. It would be good to go back and at least have a stable life. She turned sideways and took out two banknotes and handed them over: "

Even if you don't go back to Qingzhou, it's okay. You can take these two hundred taels of silver, which is enough to buy some property in Yangzhou. You can save some money and your life will be easier."

Jingmo's heart was filled with depression, and he kept looking at her face with his eyes. He was slightly drunk, and became more courageous: "It's not me, it's us. Let's go back to Yangzhou together, buy a house, and live a normal life."

Luokui's eyebrows skipped a beat. Jingmo had always been a person with no ideas and no courage. How could he suddenly change his attitude and become so full of ideas and courage? If someone hadn't provoked him, he would have been drunk and cowardly.

Emboldened, she frowned in confusion: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

The night wind blew in through the long window, lifting the azure soft smoke curtain. Jingmo's face was hidden in the shadow cast by the curtain, with an anxious expression. He only stretched out his hand to hold Luokui's shoulder, holding it tightly, gritting his teeth. He said harshly: "Just tell me whether you are willing or not."

Luokui struggled to throw away Jingmo's hand, and dark-gray hesitation emerged from the depths of her cold eyes, looking straight at Jingmo: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so crazy?"

"I don't want you to put yourself in danger again. I want you to go back to Yangzhou with me. A'Kui, you hurt me this time. What if I hurt you next time? I have to live in such a life of fear and danger." A few months is enough. You haven't had enough after all these years." These words had been considered in Jingmo's mind for a long time. Whether they came from sincerity or temptation, it was really touching to say them this time.

The smell of tranquillizer is very peculiar. When you first smell it, it is as sparse and refreshing as long grass in March. When you smell it carefully, there is a trace of herbal bitterness, which penetrates into the bone marrow along the skin, and is bitter from the tip of the tongue to the tip of the heart.

On the dusty candlestick, the dim light of the inch-long candle flickered awkwardly, and was finally blown out by the wind mixed with the smell of alcohol.

The bright candle in the bronze carved lamp holder is still on, but it is no longer as bright as before, as if it were covered by a pair of big hands, leaving only the faint light between the fingers.

There are two villains fighting in Luokui's heart. She wants to believe that Jingmo's words are sincere, that he is really worried about her safety, and that he really thinks about her, and she has not lost her clarity. Jingmo has always been timid and has no ideas. Tonight These words were probably instigated by others. As for who it was, she suddenly sneered, and she knew who it was without having to think about it. Her heart was half as warm as spring and half as cold as winter: "Okay, when the overall situation is stable, we will go to Yangzhou ."

While the words were still lingering, Jingmo suddenly went crazy and kicked the wine jar on the ground violently, kicking it several times until the wine jar was broken into pieces. The snapping sound seemed to knock Kui off the face: "The overall situation is the overall situation. You only have the overall situation in your mind. How could you ever think about me? Could it be that without you and without you planning the overall situation, the country of Yunchu will be destroyed? I don't believe it." , Akui, I just want to live a stable life, I don’t want any bright future, prosperity and wealth.”

A strange thought suddenly appeared in his heart. If, if Luo Kui became his, would everything be different? Would he be able to make the decision on everything? This thought gripped his heart tightly, making him He had no time to think about the consequences of failure, so he put his thoughts into action.

Jingmo turned his head and blew out the bright candle, stretched out his hand to fish it out, and trapped Luokui in his arms as she staggered to the door. He lowered his head and came closer to Luokui, blowing hot air on her face, and moved his lips closer and closer.

"Jing Mo, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Let me go, let me go." Luo Kui suddenly felt ominous, and she was so angry that she kept punching and kicking her, and yelled and cursed.

Angry fists and kicks rained down on Jingmo's body, but he showed no intention of retreating. Instead, he forced Luokui into the corner, his eyes almost ready to spit fire.

After several struggles, Luokui became weak and had no strength to deal with a strong man like Jingmo. During the struggle, she accidentally knocked over the bronze lion incense burner. The incense ash was sprinkled on her feet, causing waves of burning pain. She took a breath, stretched out her hand and slapped him hard on the face.

Jingmo covered her burning face and stood there in a daze, her heart feeling cold and falling to the bottom of the valley, but he still didn't forget to press her into the corner, and moved his lips towards her without any explanation.

Seeing that this slap did not wake up Jingmo, Luo Kui felt desperate. She originally did not want to alarm Su Zi, fearing that Jingmo would suffer a loss, but now, between her own loss and Jingmo's loss, she decisively chose the future.

Then he shouted loudly: "Su Zi, Su Zi, come quickly, come quickly, save me."

Before he finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound, and the indigo cotton door curtain was thrown heavily on the door frame. Su Zi rushed in with the cold night wind, angrily picked up Jingmo's collar, and slapped him aside.

: "Jingmo, are you seeking death?"

At this time, Luokui was in a very embarrassed state. Her bun was messy and brushed against her face. The white jade hairpin with plum blossoms in her hair fell to the ground and broke into two pieces. Her whole body was shivering, and every inch of her skin felt like it was soaked in snow.

, cold and desperate. She never thought that when Jingmo went crazy, he would be so vicious and break through her bottom line.

In the past more than ten years of experience, whether it was hatred or hatred, she and them had either stabbed each other in front of their faces, with white knives going in and red knives coming out, causing death or injury;

Death means injury. But, but, I will never do anything to hurt a man's dignity or destroy a woman's innocence.

Luokui sat on the edge of the bed with her head hanging down, her bare feet stepping on the cold and bitter blue brick floor. During the struggle, her embroidered shoes had already been kicked away. She stared at Su Zi picking up the broken plum blossom head on the ground.

The white jade hairpin was put into a small sandalwood box, and he took the warm white porcelain bowl and drank the thick soothing soup.

Su Zi's shoulders suddenly sank, and it was Su Zi who put the black fox cloak on her shoulders, wrapped her tightly in his arms, and said softly: "Okay, it's okay, brother is watching over you to see who dares to bully you again.

"

Su Zi's slap was so hard that Jingmo's face suddenly swelled up, and traces of scarlet blood oozed from his lips. He suddenly woke up from the drunkenness. When he heard these words again, he squatted slumped in the corner, his whole body

people

Huddled in the shadows, his eyebrows were furrowed and his starry eyes were twisted, and he was crying, with tears streaming down his face: "I'm just worried about your life. If you continue to fight with Prince Lin like this, sooner or later you will lose your life."

Luokui leaned in Su Zi's arms, and her heart ached slightly when she heard these words. Yes, after doing this for a long time, even a person like herself who is used to seeing life and death will feel timid sometimes, let alone Jingmo. He

I have never experienced wind and rain, and I have never seen killing. Although there are bumps along the way, it has nothing to do with human life. Suddenly I saw this blood-drenched scene. I was able to calm down at the time, but after that, I only became more and more scared as I thought about it.

She was filled with hatred and resentment, and was even more frightened. She didn't dare to think about what would have happened if Su Zi hadn't been there tonight. She knew that there was that old thing and her childhood love, and sooner or later she would have to forgive Jingmo, but

, she bit her silver teeth and had no intention of

Forgive Jingmo so easily, otherwise he will be more unscrupulous and worse in the future, and there will be no peace in the future. Luo Kui looked at him with cold eyes, and said calmly without hatred or complaint: "I will live or die with you.

It has nothing to do with you, just leave."

Jingmo couldn't hide the disappointment in her heart. It turned out that in her heart, her own safety was far less important than the overall situation. She drunkenly inquired about it and came up with such a result. It was really unnecessary and humiliating. He was dejected.
