The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 50 Jump off the cliff
Nangong Yuexi stood quietly in the dark night, in front of her was the calm Gupan River, like a mirror, reflecting the stars in the sky.At this time, the night was already deep, and the lights of the pleasure boats and boats that were originally singing and dancing gradually turned off, and slowly docked on the shore, falling asleep with the night.

The night wind lifted Nangong Yuexi's clothes and hair. That innocent face looked a little cold and pale in the night light. She pressed her lips tightly, as if she was waiting for something.

Suddenly, a figure hurriedly landed beside her. The man slowly took off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing a face like a chiseled knife. He is very young, only about 30 years old, But the calmness and stability in those eyes is rare among her peers.

"Xiao Xi!" He called out.

Nangong Yuexi turned her head, with a faint smile on her face, she said: "Zhao Shuo, are you here?"

Zhao Shuo nodded, looked deeply at Nangong Yuexi in front of him, raised his hand, stroked that beautiful and flawless face, and said, "You've lost weight again."

Nangong Yuexi removed his palm calmly, raised her face, and asked, "Does the sect master have a task for me? What is it?"

Only then did Zhao Shuo put away the concern in his eyes, and said sternly: "Recently, Beiyuan Kingdom and Fengnan Dynasty have been in constant conflict, and the sect master wants to take this opportunity to secretly transfer the power of Baidumen to Fengnan Dynasty. "

"Moving into Fengnan Dynasty?" Nangong Yuexi was startled, and said, "Could it be that the head of the sect hasn't given up yet? Is he still looking for the missing prince Wuli?"

Zhao Shuo said in a deep voice: "That's right, Prince Wuli is the sect master's only hope!"

He seemed to realize that his tone was too harsh, and said slowly: "Back then when the Western Jin Dynasty fought against the Fengnan Dynasty, Prince Wuli led the army to go out, but he was framed by Prince Wuyou when he didn't want to. He was defeated at the border and there was no body left. The door owner has always been loyal. Prince Yu, who is also the prince's master, did not believe that the prince would die like this, so for so many years, he withdrew his edge and secretly expanded his power, just to welcome the prince Wuli back to the Western Jin Kingdom one day and become the king of a country! Xiao Xi, you have to understand the painstaking efforts of the sect master."

"It's not that I don't understand." Nangong Yuexi sighed, and said, "It's just that seven years have passed, and the sect master should give up. I was only ten years old, and the sect master placed me next to Nangong Jin. This is the safest place in Fengnan Dynasty, to find the whereabouts of Prince Wuli! Zhao Shuo, I have spent seven years. During these seven years, I kept my name incognito and lived in lies and hypocrisy every day. I am very tired, you know? "

"I know!" Zhao Shuo said without hesitation, "But Xiao Xi, have you ever wondered why you are so tired?"

"Why?" Nangong Yuexi looked at him and asked firmly.

Zhao Shuo also looked at her for a long time, and said, "Because you are attracted to Nangong Jin, you fell in love with him!"

"I didn't!" Nangong Yuexi blurted out loudly without even thinking about it!

like?Did she fall in love with Nangong Jin?No, she didn't!She just... just thinks that this man is really good to her, just feels that this man has given her safety and care that she has never had before. She doesn't want to lie to him like this all the time, and doesn't want him to hate her in the future.

However, this is not love.

She doesn't admit it!no way!
Seven years ago, she swore in front of the sect master that in this life, she, Yue Xi, would never fall in love with anyone, and she would only be loyal to the sect master and Baidu sect!

That's right, they are all feared members of the Hundred Poison Sect in the Western Jin Dynasty. They are good at using poison. They can use poison to kill, save, and destroy people. They can use poison to change everything, but they can't change their own hearts alone.

Zhao Shuo couldn't change his heart. Two years ago, he met her for the first time with the order of the sect master. His cold heart was warmed for the first time, but he knew that this woman would never It can't be his.

Yue Xi, wearing a disguised mask to move into Prince Jing'an Mansion seven years ago, regarded herself as the real Nangong Yuexi, enjoying his Nangong Jin's care and care, letting him give her everything, even her surname, during the day she Happiness, struggling at night, her heart, drifting away from herself.

She said to herself more than once: "I am Nangong Yuexi, now and forever!"

Seven years had passed, and she could no longer abandon her identity as Nangong Yuexi, and become that Yue Xi who had no relatives or love again.

Zhao Shuo suddenly smiled rarely, and said, "If it wasn't for love, why would you care so much about that woman named Ning Ningyan?"

Nangong Yuexi's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Have you found out her identity?"

Zhao Shuoning frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said: "A few days ago, you asked me to investigate Ning Yan, but I used most of the power of the Hundred Poison Sect, searched the entire Nuoping City, and found nothing. I suspect... "

"What do you suspect?" Nangong Yuexi frowned slightly, seeming nervous and expectant.

"I suspect that Ning Yan is not the daughter of Mayor Nuoping at all, or that her real name is not Ning Yan?" Zhao Shuo's eyes were sharp and convincing.

Nangong Yuexi paused, and pondered: "Could it be that she, like me, changed her surname and name just to lurk by Nangong Jin's side?"

Zhao Shuo snorted and said, "Maybe, she just changed her surname!"

Nangong Yuexi looked at him suspiciously, waiting for him to continue.

Zhao Shuo said: "There is a mysterious killer organization in Jianghu called Linglong Pavilion, Xiao Xi, have you heard of it?"

Nangong Yuexi shook her head, her eyes were a little blank.

Zhao Shuo said: "Don't say you haven't heard of it, even I have never known about it. This time, in order to find out the truth, I almost exhausted all the power I can use!"

"Zhao Shuo, what does the Linglong Pavilion you're talking about have anything to do with Ning Ningyan?" Nangong Yuexi seemed impatient. Ever since Ning Ningyan exposed her mask that day, she has been worried all day long. She is not afraid that people will find out identity, but afraid that Nangong Jin would find out!

Zhao Shuo's eyes froze, and he said, "Xiao Xi, the young master of Linglong Pavilion is also called Ningyan, but her surname is not Leng, but Jiang!"

"Jiang Ningyan?" Nangong Yuexi was shocked, and murmured: "Jiang Ningyan, Ningyan...Zhao Shuo, have you confirmed in your heart that they are the same person?"

It turns out that everyone in this world wears masks, and it turns out that Nangong Yuexi is not the only one who hides her name.

I don't know why, but I feel a little happy in my heart, Nangong Jin, you have given your sincerity to that woman, but you know that this woman is just acting in front of you from the beginning to the end!
A sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, and she said: "As the young master of the Linglong Pavilion, why is she in danger alone, lurking in the Jing'an Palace? Could it be that she has some ulterior motive?"

Zhao Shuo stared at the river, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, according to the spy's secret report, everything Jiang Ningyan did was for one purpose!"

"For what purpose?"

Zhao Shuo turned his head and said three words firmly: "Chu Yishang!"

"Chu Yishang?" Nangong Yuexi frowned slightly, and asked, "I seem to have heard this name before, wait, is it the Chu family's Excalibur that was famous in the Western Jin Kingdom seven years ago?"

Zhao Shuo smiled coldly, and said: "That's right, it's him! He is the only heir of the Chu family's Excalibur. After appearing at the Western Jin Kingdom Martial Arts Conference seven years ago, he disappeared. Unexpectedly, he joined Linglong Pavilion!"

Nangong Yuexi did not speak. She was only ten years old at the martial arts conference seven years ago. At that time, she stood beside Ye Jige, the master of the Hundred Poison Sect, and saw with her own eyes a young man in Tsing Yi holding a long sword subverting the martial arts. The heroes then smiled proudly and said: "You don't need to remember me, just remember the Chu family's Excalibur!"

At that time, those martial arts ancestors who were known as heroes were full of uproar. They were surprised, disdainful, and accused... what's more, they were ashamed!
A teenage boy kicked them all off the ring with just a sharp sword!
They are unwilling to accept this fact.

At that time, Nangong Yuexi looked at the young man who was walking farther and farther, his eyes were full of respect for the first time.

She turned over the brocade bag in her hand, which contained countless strange poisons in the world, then tilted her head and asked Ye Jige next to her: "Master, is his Chu Yishang's sword stronger, or our Hundred Poison Sect's poison stronger?"

Ye Jige just smiled faintly and said, "Master doesn't know, Yue Xi can find the answer by himself in the future!"

For ten years, she has always wanted to have a duel with Chu Yishang, who once caused a sensation in the entire Western Jin Kingdom's martial arts world, but she has had no news of him for many years!
She looked at Zhao Shuo beside her and asked, "Where is he now? How is he?"

Zhao Shuo seemed a little surprised by Nangong Yuexi's question. He hesitated for a moment and said, "He jumped off the cliff a year ago, and he is still not sober. He is no different from a living dead."

"What did you say?" Nangong Yuexi suddenly changed his face, and asked anxiously, "He, Chu Yishang, will jump off the cliff?"

In her impression, Chu Yishang was so chic and unrestrained, so proud of the world, and so invincible, how could he jump off the cliff like this?
Zhao Shuo said coldly: "Do you think that a person like him has no death spot? Yue Xi, if he hadn't jumped off the cliff a year ago, why would Jiang Ningyan lurk beside Nangong Jin?"

Nangong Yuexi pursed her lips, and after a while, she raised her eyes and asked, "So Ning Yan is trying to save Chu Yishang?"

Zhao Shuo nodded and said, "There are rumors in the world that Nangong Jin's red blood jade can bring the dead back to life! This is Jiang Ningyan's last hope."

A sternness suddenly flashed in Nangong Yuexi's eyes, condensed Yan, she was actually for a man!
"Hahaha..." In the night wind, Nangong Yuexi suddenly let out a cold and wild laugh.

"Xiao Xi, you..."

Nangong Yuexi waved his hand and said, "Zhao Shuo, have you ever thought that if one day, Nangong Jin discovered all the truth, if Chu Yishang appeared in front of Nangong Jin, he would still think that he once said Do you want to marry that woman?"

Zhao Shuo looked at the woman in front of him for a long time, and said, "Xiao Xi, are you really so afraid of that wedding?"

Nangong Yuexi's expression changed slightly, but she met his gaze calmly.

He chuckled, "If you're really afraid, I——go to stop it for you, you know, I have the ability."

His smile is like a ghost in the dark night, with bursts of coldness and unfathomable mystery.

But Nangong Yuexi, she likes his smile, because she also has the same smile, but at this time, she didn't see the reflection in the water, so she didn't know how similar she was to the man in front of her.
