I promise

Chapter 644
Mu Lan's fingers froze in mid-air.

Mu Zijin firmly grasped her wrist, and slowly tightened it tightly.

Mu Lan burst into tears in pain: "So you lied to me. Neither my pipa nor I can confuse you anymore."

Mu Zijin's eyes darkened, and he threw Mu Lan's hand away: "Stop making trouble."

"I want to make trouble!" Mu Lan stubbornly looked up at Mu Zijin, with tears in her eyes, like a willful little girl who is angry:
"I just can't understand how you treasure her so much, you just want to kill her! Do you choose her or me?"

Mu Zijin's eyes were dark, and he should not be silent.

Violence suddenly appeared in Mu Lan's eyes. He dragged the red sandalwood lute, and flicked it with his left hand.

The four horses pulling the cart neighed in terror at the same time, and ran backwards wildly, knocking over the rear compartment.

Chang Huaijin flew out of the car with Chang Qianfo in his arms, and Chang Qianfo held Mu Dianke tightly in his arms.

Mu Lan touched the pipa mechanism with her right hand, and a handleless thin sword shot out from the chamber of the pipa, nailing Mu Dianke's neck like a streak of light.

Chang Qianfo bowed his back subconsciously, lowered his head abruptly, rubbed Mu Dianke into his chest, and used the back of his neck to face the stabbing sword.

Huo An yelled violently, and followed closely, his long spear flew out, and the thin sword was thrown aside.

He stomped on the ground with both feet and stretched his body into an inverted bow. He gathered all his strength and threw the red tasseled spear.

Mu Lan's lightness kung fu was taught by Mu Cangping himself. He is extremely fast and light, and with a flick of his sleeves, he flew up to the roof.

After Huo An drew his sword, he attacked the enemy again, but he was one step too late. The tip of the gun hung on the gauze, tore off a piece of skirt, and nailed it firmly to the pillar in front of the street shop.

Holding the pipa in her arms, Mu Lan flew down, snapped the string with five fingers, and approached Mu Dianke.

Twist the strings with your fingers, and the magic sound is loud, the closer it is, the more crazy the sound waves will be.

It was Lin Qiao who jumped out first and wanted to stop Mu Lan, but before he got close to her, he let out a miserable cry and curled up with his arms around his chest.

Mu Zijin's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Hatred surged in Mu Lan's eyes, and she pressed her fingers faster and faster. Although her fingers were not as dexterous as before, the speed was enough, and the tune was sad and resentful, full of murderous intent.

Mu Zijin felt waves of disgust in his chest, surging like an overwhelming river.

It's just not as good as the pain in my heart.

Suddenly, his eyes sank, he quickly took two steps to catch up, flipped his palms, and swung them out as sharp knives.

Mu Lan hastily dodged, but he was no match for the fierceness and ferocity of his ecstasy hand.His left shoulder was slashed by his palm, and the scapula broke immediately.

Mu Zijin gritted his teeth tightly, showing no mercy, his right palm followed and patted Mu Lan's chest.

Mu Lan flew out like a dilapidated kite and hit the ground heavily.The red sandalwood pipa flew two zhang away and broke into countless pieces.

Mu Lan raised her head in shock, and stared at Mu Zijin in disbelief.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly laughed, giggling, laughing wildly: "The lord said, you will kill me, I don't believe it. Haha, I don't believe it!"

Mu Zijin bent down unexpectedly, a mouthful of blood clogged his chest for a long time, and finally spat it out, staining the blue bricks under his feet red.

He raised his head and looked at Mu Lan coldly and pitifully: "Why are you doing this?"

Mu Lan smiled with tears all over her face: "You are fine, Mu Zijin! You are worthy of your sister, but are you worthy of me? Just because I stayed in Mu's house and didn't go with you, you still hate poison me?"

"I said, I don't blame you."

Mu Zijin said: "You stay and help him kill, this is your choice. I want to go, it is my choice. The road is different, no one is sorry for anyone."

"What about now?" Mu Lan yelled sadly, "I begged you in tears back then, but you refused to stay for me. Now you are willing to go back to Mu's house for her—"

She suddenly raised her voice, no longer as clear as pearls and jade, full of hysteria:
"What am I in your heart? Do you love me or your own sister?"

Mu Zijin's eyes suddenly opened, as if he had been hit hard by something, and disappointment gradually appeared in his cold eyes, as well as a trace of disgust.

Mu Lan's heart sank, seized by inexplicable fear, she fell to the ground and cried:

"How can I choose? I was picked up by your father from the heap of starvation. He raised me and taught me martial arts. He is the benefactor I can never repay in my life. Tell me, how can I choose? "

Messed hair brushed her face, her eyes were sad and soft like pear blossoms.

But obviously, her showing weakness no longer works on Mu Zijin.

"I don't know why you have such inexplicable thoughts."

The last trace of warmth in Mu Zijin's voice also dissipated, it was as hard as a rock.

"Little Si'er is not only my sister, but also your sister. She likes you so much. But today, because of your paranoid thoughts, you want to put her to death. Mu Lan, when did you become so scary gone?"

Mu Lan was overwhelmed by the determination in his words, and yelled angrily: "Why did I become so scary? Don't you know why I became so scary?

eight years!I have been waiting for you for eight years.Where have you been?You are dead, without a word.Since you are determined to sever ties with us, why do you want to come back?I became your elder brother's concubine, but you came back—why didn't you die outside! "

Speaking of the latter, she was already gnashing her teeth.

Mu Zijin looked at that once beautiful, but now hideous face, for a long time, as if her soul had been sucked out - she became his elder brother's concubine!
He lived in the mountains for a long time, and he didn't hear the old people and old things, thinking that those things had nothing to do with him anymore.

But it still hurts.

After a long silence, he slowly opened his mouth: "Mu Lan, you have grown up, and you have to be responsible for your own choices. Whether you stayed in the Mu family or married my elder brother, this is your own choice. You have to admit it."

"I don't recognize it!" Mu Lan slammed the ground frantically, and her pale five fingers were rubbed with blood.

Resentfully, she turned her head and said paranoidly: "Why do you come back? The more you care about Mu Dianke, the more I will kill her!"

There was a long silence.

"Speak!" Mu Lan screamed, "Speak! Are you dumb?"

She was on the verge of collapse and had nowhere to vent, so she could only temporarily drive away the frenzy and anxiety in her heart in this way.

"I used to care about you too."

After a long time, Mu Zijin said slowly, "Before you forced me to make this choice today, you and Xiao Si'er are equally important in my heart, and you are the ones I am willing to risk my life to protect."

He looked up at Mu Lan with an indifferent expression, as if looking at a stranger: "But from today, you are no longer."

Mu Lan stared blankly at Mu Zijin, as if she didn't understand what he said.

She suddenly rushed forward like crazy, using both hands and feet, desperately scrambling forward:
"No, Zijin, it's not like this! I'm too sad, I'm crazy, it's my fault——"

She grabbed the hem of his clothes: "Zijin, please forgive me this time."

Mu Zijin turned around, bent down and squatted down, and raised his hand to wipe away the dusty tears on Mu Lan's face.
"Mu Lan, have you ever thought about how I will live the rest of my life no matter who I choose today?"

He held her hand, how gentle it was at one moment, and how cruel it was at the next moment.

He grabbed her fingers and broke them off one by one: "—Sister-in-law."

He suddenly pushed Mu Lan's hand away, turned around, and ran forward staggeringly.

Mu Lan yelled mournfully behind him: "Zijin—Zijin—"

Mu Zijin's cheekbones were filled with tears, but he didn't look back, his back was straight, like a proud and lonely crane, and he would never regret it.

With difficult steps, he moved back to Chang Huaijin step by step.

"She is unconscious, and the magic sound can't hurt her." Chang Huaijin said softly.

Mu Zijin nodded and threw himself on the ground with all his strength.

The yellow and white Zhu Jinhua fell from the top of his head, resembling the year he left.

That year, Julin Garden was in ruins, only Zhu Jin left half a tree of flowers outside the wall...

"I will protect you," he said firmly.
