"Students" Conspiracy

In Dilu City, the market is bustling with people.

The firecrackers exploded in the noise, and the red skins on the white ground meandered all the way, like peanut shells falling all over the ground, cooperating with other people's Xipi Allegro, telling the festive and lively events of other people's homes.

"Girl, look at the hairpin. The hairpin I have here is the cheapest and the best in the whole market... Hey girl, don't go!"

Jing Che only glanced at it, and felt that the colorful ones were pretty, but the light from the lantern shone on the vermilion hairpin a bit too dazzlingly.

She cast a nostalgic glance and then turned to leave, but was pulled back by Si Ming.

"Why don't you buy it?" Si Ming raised his eyebrows and asked, his always serious and serious face seemed to come alive in the light and shadow.

"I can't use it, it's a pity to waste it."

Coming and going around me are beautifully dressed girls, with sweet smiles and gentle expressions.She tried to make her smile feel less stiff, but failed

Si Ming stared at her somewhat disappointed face, then turned to the vendor and said, "Choose one for me."

Jing Che stood there in embarrassment, when Si Ming handed the hairpin to her, she was a little at a loss.Maybe it's this small detail that makes people feel heart-warming, and she hasn't received care from others for a long time.She didn't take it over, she just frowned and said lightly: "I really don't need it."

Si Ming directly stretched out his hand to remove the extremely simple wooden hairpin that was stuck obliquely in her hair, and replaced it with Zhu Chai.His face smiled under the yellowish lantern: "You should also change to something new, not only for the new year, eighteen, you also have to live a new life in the future."

"A new life..." Jing Che repeated thoughtfully.Holding the replaced wooden hairpin in his hand, staring at it, he found that the wooden hairpin was still stained with blood, as if shouting to remind her where she came from.

She showed a hint of ridicule, replaced the wooden hairpin, and said to Si Ming, as if she was talking to herself: "Why do I still feel humiliated?"

Then leave Si Ming aside and walk forward, he strides to his side, but finally doesn't say anything.

It was still late at night in the market, and the two of them seemed to be breaking up, so they went back to the inn first.

The cool night smeared into a water mark.Although the inn is hung with Spring Festival couplets and lit with red lanterns everywhere, it looks a bit colder than the outside.

Jing Che and Siming stood in the courtyard.She stopped and stared at a tree of snow-white pear blossoms, which reminded her of the white horse bones on Yuntan Peak.

With a final sigh, he turned around lightly and was about to leave, but was suddenly stunned.

She blinked, reconfirming that she was right.

Looking over the white pear petals, I saw him at a glance.

Her former master, the master she hadn't seen for a year.

His face seemed to have aged a little in the night, but he was still so handsome, and the light blue stubble around the corner of his mouth was still unkempt.Just like an ordinary swordsman who roams the rivers and lakes, with a smile on his lips, his whole person has an uninhibited atmosphere, as if he can have a drink and talk with others at any time, without being fettered, and there is no abnormality at all.

There are two people behind him, one is Zuo Tingzhi and the other is Yexiu.

People were about to walk over, Jing Che wanted to run away in a panic, but there was an empty courtyard in front and behind, only a pear tree stood on the left side of the courtyard.

Si Ming hugged her in his arms without hesitation.

The three of them came over, Baili Fengjian glanced at the man and woman hugging each other in the dark, and walked straight across the courtyard.However, when he was about to step out of the arch, he looked back again.Maybe it was too similar, but this figure always reminded him of his apprentice who had not heard from him for more than a year.

But in his consciousness, his Ah Che would not be held in the arms of other men like this, so he didn't have any doubts at all.

"He's Baili Fengjian." After a long time of walking, Si Ming's voice came from above his head.

"En." Jing Che's answer was breathless, and his whole body was still in a slight convulsion, so much so that he forgot that he was still holding Si Ming.

And Si Ming didn't push her away, and sighed: "No wonder."

"What?" Jing Che was so sensitive that he heard the meaning in his words.

"No wonder you are in such a dilemma, like your master, is it tiring?"

The fabric on the chest seemed to be a little damp, and when Si Ming felt that he should comfort this girl who was actually still fragile at heart, she let go of her hand and stepped back, her expression as cold as ever.

"You're wrong, I hate him."

Jing Che left Si Mingwu and walked upstairs, and absently pushed open the door of the next room to go in, and found that the surrounding decorations seemed to be a little different, just as she was about to take a closer look, there was the sound of the door opening, she subconsciously entered the screen vigilantly Hide behind.

Messy footsteps, listen carefully are three people.

"How is Chi Yuan in the imperial capital?" Jing Che knew who it was the first person to speak, with his back pressed against the screen and his fists clenched tightly.

One person coughed a few times before opening his mouth, his voice sounded a little weak: "Ever since Xiao Jin was transferred back to the imperial capital, he has been fighting against A Yuan. Pierce...cough, cough..."

"Sword Master, should we set off for Jiahuang today, or wait until tomorrow?" Ye Xiu said.

"Go back earlier, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"Then I'll go clean up."

Yexiu walked behind the screen, Baili Fengjian and Zuo Tingzhi were still talking at the other end.

"Sword Master, A Yuan asked me to tell you that there is no whereabouts of A Che in the prisons in the imperial capital."

Yexiu had already entered behind the screen, and Jing Che hid between the carved bed rail and the wardrobe in a panic, leaving a piece of robe outside.

Yexiu walked over calmly, and made a sudden move, his knuckles pinched the person's throat precisely, and the person hidden inside reacted more quickly, and quickly parried him, the power of the explosion should not be underestimated.

There was a sound of a gourd plug being opened from outside, and after taking a sip of wine, Baili Fengjian answered, "Heh, maybe he died somewhere."

An absent-minded, nonchalant tone.

At this time, the hidden person was inexplicably silent, and Yexiu grabbed the person by the throat and pulled him out almost effortlessly.

The candlelight traced the appearance of the person through the screen, Yexiu saw a face covered with tears, he was stunned, his fingers gradually loosened, he was speechless in surprise.

"Yexiu, what's wrong inside?" Baili Fengjian heard the movement and raised his voice to ask.

Jing Che looked at him, only weeping silently while shaking his head vigorously.

Yexiu understood, and walked out carrying the burden, narrowing his eyes and saying calmly: "It's nothing."

But the heartbeat was ups and downs, like thunder.

"Clean up, let's go." Baili Fengjian glanced at Yexiu suspiciously, thinking to himself that he must be suspicious, and Yexiu has always been a person who follows the rules.

And halfway through, Yexiu suddenly said: "Juvenile Master, I remembered that I forgot something, so I went back and looked for it."

Before Baili Fengjian could speak, he turned around and went back.

He hastily stepped into the screen, thinking that Jing Che was still there, and hurriedly explained: "Ache, don't get me wrong, the Sword Master has been looking for..."

But I saw the window on the right was wide open, and no one was there.

The wind is wrapped in the smell of gunpowder smoke from firecrackers, and thousands of families are reunited, but there is only a moment of emptiness here.

***

Jing Che's day as a normal person started unintentionally, but ended absurdly.She stood outside and watched the excitement, and the only thing she gained was that she knew how her master hated her.

The next day, she and Si Ming went back to the Shura field, but saw Xiao Jin sitting in Si Ming's position with his legs crossed, with a pair of eagle eyes showing some violent and sinister light.

"General Xiao." Si Ming bowed his hands slightly.

Xiao Jin's tone was extremely gloomy: "Did you take her out?"

"Yes" Si Ming replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"Has she been compiled into the hidden word army?"

"Yes."

"Heh, can you leave the Asura Field?"

"Yes." Faced with Xiao Jin's almost oppressive momentum, Si Ming's tone remained calm.

"Who approved it?!" Xiao Jin roared angrily.

"This is the rule of the Shura field, and it is also the reward she deserves."

Xiao Jin sat back in the chair, and smiled back in anger, "Si Ming, Si Ming, you are just a mere leader of the Shura field, you really take yourself seriously."

"General Xiao has won the prize."

"Isn't your Shura field a hell? How did it become a place to send warmth and save sentient beings? Oh, let me tell you, I don't care about the rules of your Shura field. Others can go out, but she can't. You have to stay here for a day," Xiao Jin sneered at Jing Che with sideways eyes, "Since you have already killed people for a year, you don't care about killing them for a few more years, right?"

Jing Che raised his eyes, bit his lips angrily, tried not to refute a word, his expression was gradually overwhelmed by despair.

She worked hard for a year, in order to become the best... She worked hard to kill people.I thought I would finally get through to the day when I was in my early years, but all my thoughts were cut off by a single sentence.

She finally knew where Xiao Jin's confidence came from, and she believed that she would definitely collapse.

Just like that, all persistence crumbled in an instant.But she still can't surrender, even if it's just because persistence is the inertia of many years.

Si Ming calmly refuted his words: "General Xiao, if you have time to take care of the Shura field, why not go after Zuo Tingzhi's whereabouts earlier."

Xiao Jin's voice suddenly raised a bit: "How do you know that Zuo Tingzhi has escaped? Could it be that you saw him when you were in Dilu City?"

"Yes."

Xiao Jin jumped into a rage, grabbed Si Ming's lapel and almost roared: "Why didn't you catch him back?"

"It's not in my remit."

"You—" Xiao Jin was extremely angry at first, but his expression gradually calmed down, showing some incomprehensible and sly light, "Si Ming, do you think I can't punish you?"

Si Ming lowered his eyes respectfully, but did not lower his head.

"Come here!" The Imperial Forest Army brought by Xiao Jin immediately surrounded Jing Che and Si Ming, "Since Master Si Ming doesn't care about priorities, then I will exercise my authority as a superior officer and punish him with a staff of one hundred."

His eyes fell on Jing Che, "You count, if you lose a little, then you will be fined ten times and added back."

Jing Che clenched his fists and stood there motionless.

He squeezed Jing Che's hand, signaling her to be relieved and not to act rashly, then cupped his hands and said, "I will accept the punishment."

He calmly stepped onto the rack.
