night enchanting

Chapter 13: Marrying You (2)
According to legend, the Demon Palace was built by a descendant of a royal family hundreds of years ago, and no one knows where it was built.It is only rumored in the world that there is a treasure trove that is as rich as an enemy in the Demon Palace. The treasure contains not only gold, silver and jewels, but also countless excellent weapons and peerless martial arts cheats, which are sought after by the world.

Originally, this magic palace hadn't shown up in Jianghu for nearly a hundred years, but two years ago, it suddenly reappeared in Jianghu.It is heard that the Martial Arts Master of this Demon Palace is unfathomable, and he even defeated the six sects of Jianghu with his own strength, which shocked the entire martial arts world.Everyone thought that the Demon Palace would take this opportunity to dominate the martial arts world, but what was surprising was that after the Demon Palace master defeated the heads of the six sects, in his words, he actually dismissed the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance. disappeared.

There are different opinions about the owner of the Demon Palace. Some people say that he is unrestrained and handsome, unparalleled in the world;In fact, no one knew whether it was a man or a woman, and no one had seen its appearance.People only know that the Lord of the Demon Palace appeared on the top of Qishan Mountain, wearing a black dark light cloak, a silver light mask, and long hair flying, like a night demon god, cold and mysterious, with great momentum.However, in recent months, people from the Demon Palace have reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and the places where they appear must be gathered with dead bodies. They seem to be everywhere, but they can't be found everywhere.Therefore, people in the arena will change their colors when they talk about the magic palace.

Qi Che nodded again, his expression was very sure, but there was a trace of puzzlement on his face.

Changfeng said again: "How could Miss Rumo have a problem with the Demon Palace?"

Qi Che said: "It may not be done by people in the Demon Palace. Murders in the Demon Palace have always been aboveboard, and they disdain to use such assassination methods."

"But the heartbreaking poison is the secret medicine of the Demon Palace." Nangong Ye said in a deep voice.

This is exactly what Qi Che was puzzled about, and what made Qi Che even more puzzled was that he couldn't say it.

The room fell into silence, and the bright sunlight coming in from the window cast half a shadow on Nangong Ye's face, making his deep face look even more gloomy.After a while, Nangong Ye fixed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Since it is the secret medicine of the Demon Palace, no matter who did it this time, it must have something to do with the Demon Palace. No matter how powerful the owner of the Demon Palace is. Anyone who dares to plot against this king, even if he digs three feet into the ground, this king will dig him out!" He clenched his fists and said firmly, "Isn't Yunge claiming that there is no news that cannot be found, only unidentified ones?" Are you willing to accept the deal'? Changfeng, you take 10 taels of gold, go to the Jingxin Teahouse, inform the steward of Yunge, and ask them to find out the location of the magic palace for me. If you can’t find it, this king took over Yunge’s lair together!”

Chang Feng took the order, Qi Che said in a daze: "My lord always treats women like nothing, I never thought he would care so much about Miss Rumo!"

Nangong Ye said: "She's different from other women. It's time for this palace, it's time to have a real mistress!" Thinking of that woman, his complexion softened again, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.Seeing that Qi Che was stunned for a moment, a trace of worry came to his brows, he hesitated to speak.

Nangong Ye frowned and asked, "What? Mr. Qi has something to say?"

Qi Che was slightly taken aback, his gaze flashed, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes to answer: "No. This subordinate is just thinking that Yun Pavilion, one of the three pavilions that specializes in news business, is well-informed and staffed all over the country. The Dark Pavilion has the same reputation and status, but it may not be easy to find out the location of the Demon Palace in a short while, the prince might as well give them some more time."

Nangong Ye nodded, and the three of them studied the situation in court again. Afterwards, Qi Che left, and only Nangong Ye and Chang Feng were left in the room.

Nangong Ye got up, stood in front of the window and looked at the direction where Qi Che disappeared, squinted his eyes, turned around and asked, "Chang Feng, can you feel the difference between Qi Che today and the past?"

Chang Feng shook his head in doubt, Nangong Ye said again: "On weekdays, no matter what it is, he always knows everything to say, but today he hesitates to speak, obviously there is something hidden. Don't mention this matter in front of him in the future. If you have any news, please report directly."

"Yes."

"Also, no matter what the purpose is, you have to strengthen the guards of the palace, especially the Daiyue Pavilion. No one is allowed to approach without the king's warrant!"

"Yes!" Changfeng receded, Nangong Ye looked at the time, and called out: "Come here."

A young servant in Tsing Yi responded and called out respectfully, "Your Majesty."

Nangong Ye said: "Order the kitchen to prepare some light meals for lunch, which should be richer, and send them to the king's bedroom. Then arrange two clever maids to obey orders outside the door. Remember, without her consent, you are not allowed to casually Enter the house to disturb."

The light in the afternoon became warmer and brighter. In the dormitory of Chaoxiangyuan, Rumo, who had always been a light sleeper, slept soundly. It's a pity that the table full of delicacies on the table in front of the bed was already completely cold.

Nangong Ye, who always ate meals on time, sat by the bed, saw her sleeping so peacefully, and couldn't bear to wake her up. When she woke up, the food had been heated for the third time, and the color was not as good as before, but the aroma of the food was still full the whole house.Surrounded by this tempting aroma, Ru Mo felt his stomach empty before he knew it.

"Wake up? Get up and eat. Slow down." Seeing her open her eyes, Nangong Ye smiled and helped her up, a handsome face was enlarged in front of her eyes, and that face was gone from what she had seen half a month ago. Familiar deep and indifferent, but gentle as water, without a trace of impatience.

"Nangong Ye..." She called him unnaturally.

"Huh?" Nangong Ye responded to her naturally, and hugged her, Rumo was startled and struggled subconsciously.

"Don't move. You are injured!" Nangong Ye tightened his arms to prevent her from moving.

Ru Mo frowned, and was about to ask him what he was going to do, but he had already sat down on the chair by the dining table.The small dining table in front of him was fully set up, with eight dishes and one soup. Everything looked exquisite, but it was obviously overheated.And it was already afternoon, an hour and a half past his usual lunch time.

"You...you don't have to!" Ru Mo frowned, looking at him with complicated eyes.Ten years ago, she didn't know what kind of person he was. He was gentle to her, so she thought he was a gentle man. All kinds of tenderness and accommodating, she felt very uneasy.Because of such special treatment, people are powerless.

Nangong Ye handed her a bowl of ginseng and bird's nest soup, turned his eyes to look at her deeply, Rumo hurriedly put away those struggles, and wanted to face the man in front of him with the most indifferent attitude, but he didn't have time to move away He suddenly held her hand, looked into her eyes seriously, and solemnly said like a promise: "You don't know how to cherish yourself. From today on, let me replace you and cherish yourself!"

The thick ink-like eyes shone with dazzling brilliance, and the lingering affection flowed in the deep eyes, like a warm spring suddenly pouring into her frozen heart, which shocked her heart, as if she heard the sound of the ice breaking. The sound, but it couldn't stop the warm penetration, and I was a little overwhelmed.Although she knew clearly in her heart that the person in front of her was not as warm as she seemed, he was just like her, cold, cruel, with bloody hands, but at this moment, she couldn't resist, she just looked at him like this, It's like going back ten years ago.

"I used to ask where your home is, but you never answered. Then you told me that you don't have a home. I said to you, 'The place where I, Nangong Ye, will be your home.' Do you remember? "

His eyes were burning, dissolving the indifference in her eyes little by little, and said: "From now on, this palace will be your home! I will make you the woman that all women in the world envy, believe me!"

His tone was very firm, his hand, warm and powerful, held her hand tightly, she forgot to break free, a strange warm current rolled up a huge force from their clasped palms directly into hers In her heart, she violently attacked the softest part of her heart.

"Home?" She murmured, this is a word that was once extremely familiar, but has since become extremely strange.She stared at him blankly, and suddenly there was sadness in her eyes, "You didn't even see my appearance, so you promised easily, aren't you afraid of regretting it?"

Nangong Ye raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile, "Then let me see."

He let go of her hand, and was about to lift her veil. Rumo raised his hand to block it without even thinking about it. She was secretly surprised that for a moment just now, her heart was moved. He just used a few words to easily defeat the defense she had built up over countless days and nights.Such Nangong Ye is indeed the most dangerous!
Ru Mo couldn't help but sink his eyes and said, "It's better not to watch it!"

Seeing her sudden change of face, Nangong Ye was taken aback for a moment, then closed his hands and said with a smile: "How can we eat without taking it off?"

Ru Mo said indifferently: "I have my own method." She raised her hand, lifted the white gauze from the left side, covered her face with her sleeves, took a soup bowl, and drank the moderately warm bird's nest soup.

Nangong Ye frowned watching her movements, she was still so stubborn.He sighed, and was about to serve her a meal, but Ru Mo got up and left his seat. Nangong Ye stared blankly, and quickly grabbed her hand.

"Mo'er, where are you going? Haven't eaten yet!"

He called her Mo'er, calling her intimately and naturally, as if they were already the closest person in each other's hearts.Ru Mo's eyes froze, and he lowered his eyes to see his quick-reaction actions, looking far away, he avoided her injured left hand, and grabbed her right hand.

"It's time for me to go back." She struggled slightly, but Nangong Ye didn't let go, but held on tighter, and asked her, "Where are you going back? Thousand Color Garden is no longer safe!"

Ru Mo said, "I can go to other places."

"Since you can go to other places, why did you buy Qianseyuan?" Nangong Ye stood up, his face slowly sank, avoiding her wounds, turning her body, the anger in his phoenix eyes gradually blazed, and he was determined. I will keep her in my sights, "You know where I am, but you didn't come looking for me. Instead, you chose to buy Dong Yuan, which is on the way I must pass on my way back home. What is the purpose of keeping me out of the door? I used Yixiao to enter the garden, and you purposely showed affection to him, but you were doubly indifferent to me... Do you want to use Yixiao..."

"You think too much!" Rumo cut off without waiting for him to finish.In this world, she might take advantage of anyone, but she would never take advantage of Leng Yixiao!

Nangong Ye said: "Since not, why didn't you come to me?" His tone involuntarily softened a lot.

Ru Mo asked back, "Why did I come to you?"

"Because I said I wanted to marry you..."

"You also said that you would take me away from Langya Mountain!" Rumo cut off again and laughed mockingly: "But you didn't keep your promise!"

Nangong Ye's heart sank, "It was urgent at that time, and I didn't have time to wait for you, but I left you a note, didn't you see it?"

Rumo didn't answer, and slowly took out an old yellow note from his arms, only the size of a palm, on which it was written: Wait for me here, I will come back to pick you up, when you grow up, I will marry you as me wife, the only one.

"This one?" she asked blankly.

Nangong Ye was surprised: "You...you still keep it?" He wanted to take it over to have a look, but Rumo suddenly clenched his palm and smashed the old note.

Nangong Ye was stunned, his hands were frozen there.

Ru Mo said again: "You asked me before why you always go back with injuries all over your body?"

Nangong Ye withdrew her hand, and replied in a muffled voice: "Yes, you have been refusing to say it." At that time, she cherished words like gold, as if she had just experienced the most painful blow, silent like a mute.But at this moment, she threw out a question, and he was waiting for the answer, but she didn't say a word.

The meals on the table were getting colder, Rumo turned his head to look at the untouched light and delicious meals, and cakes covered with oil stains and blood slowly appeared in front of his eyes.

The surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and she returned to the cold and gloomy hall ten years ago...

Dozens of children around her age stood in the hall, with a hundred eyes, all staring at the tray in the hands of a man in black on the steps ahead. There were five cakes on the plate.

That was dinner for fifty children.

Standing in a corner, she watched with cold eyes the 49 children rushing up the steps with their own weapons. Only at this time can their hard-working martial arts exert their greatest power.

Fighting desperately, people kept getting injured and fell to the ground. The sharp weapons slashed across their bodies, bringing out gurgling blood, flowing on the cold ground.

She still doesn't move.

When there were ten people left, an older boy suddenly yelled, "Stop!"

The children who were fighting for a while paused, the boy picked up the weapon, pointed at her who was clean in the corner, and said angrily: "We should deal with her first! In the past ten days, she took advantage of the Palace Master's absence, every time After we finish fighting, we will come to rob, one rob is two shares, it is not abiding by the rules. We have to clean her up first, and we will not be robbed again after we finish fighting!"

After hearing this, the nine children felt that it was reasonable, they exchanged glances with each other, and besieged them.

In the dark hall, the sword light flickered, and the snow was menacing.Surrounded by ten people, she was surrounded by danger, her thin body was covered with scars, and her whole body was covered with blood.However, she eventually became the last child standing in the hall.Amid dozens of hateful and hostile gazes, he walked towards the man in black on the steps.He unfolded his blood-stained sleeves, and caught the five cakes handed over by the man in black.

This time, she and him in the stone house can finally have enough to eat!When she thought this way, she was suddenly agitated, and she didn't notice that someone behind her was slowly approaching her with a thick stick. When the stick came towards her with the sound of sharp wind, she was startled and dodged quickly. But he was still hit by a wooden stick in one calf, and the whole person rolled down from the steps, and the five cakes that dozens of children fought for with their lives were scattered on the ground.

The boy threw away the wooden stick and rushed to grab it. The children who were injured and fell to the ground around them suddenly became full of strength and got up from the ground.Her eyes turned cold, and without thinking, she picked up a sharp sword from the ground, pointed it at the heart of the boy who rushed over first, and stabbed fiercely.

The sword pierced the chest with incomparable precision.

There was silence in the hall, and all the children froze for a moment, shocked by the fierce and strong murderous aura emanating from her body, they didn't dare to take a step forward.

The fight for food must not hurt people's lives, and she broke the rules again!
Bowing her head, she picked up the cake on the ground, wrapped it up with her sleeve, and wanted to get up, but one leg was numb and she couldn't exert any strength.It took a lot of effort to walk out of the cruel and bloody underground palace.

The twilight light shone head-on, which was a bit dazzling. She dragged one unconscious leg and bumped around a mountain, almost crawling through the jungle fog, trying to return to the stone room quickly. However, just arrived On a hillside behind the stone room, she saw a cold and blurred figure of his back in the distant mountains.

At that moment, her heart seemed to have sunk into an ice cellar, and it was so cold that she couldn't help shivering.The hands that tightly held the sleeves were slowly released, and the five cakes that were fought for with their lives rolled down the hillside.She sat down in the bushes overgrown with thorns, and her numb legs began to ache more intensely than ever before.But in just a few months, she once again experienced what it was like to be abandoned by someone she trusted.In the following month, the devil returned, and she was punished for breaking the rules. She was chained hand and foot, locked in a dilapidated iron cage, and treated as a pet that needed to be tamed.

Gu poison occurs frequently, there is no antidote, that kind of painful taste...

"Mo'er, Mo'er?" She was immersed in that unbearable memory, when Nangong Ye's call came to her ears, she suddenly looked back, met his searching eyes, she retreated reflexively, and bumped into the chair On the way, Nangong Ye hurriedly grabbed her, and found that her palms were cold and wet.

"What's wrong with you?" Nangong Ye asked strangely.

Rumo instinctively shook off his hand, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ice mist, and the cold air came out, freezing the sunlight in the room.

Nangong Ye frowned, watching her reaction, his eyes gradually sank.Rumo saw the faint disappointment in his deep eyes, and the displeasure after being repeatedly rejected, she was taken aback, her heart was stabbed like a needle, and she almost forgot his identity, he is now aloof, King Chen, who is admired by thousands of people, is no longer the young man who was hunted down and hid everywhere, and will never tolerate her repeated rejection and indifference, but she, in front of his sudden tenderness, almost forgot the purpose of this trip... Purpose!She couldn't help being startled, and quickly calmed down the cold air all over her body, calmed down the disturbed mood and the long-term memory together, and slowly sat down on the chair, looking at the table of cold food, she said flatly: "It's nothing. Let's eat."

The man next to him remained silent.

Ru Mo lowered his eyes and said again: "The food is already cold, but it's okay, it's much better than what we ate in the stone house ten years ago."

Hearing her take the initiative to mention the past, Nangong Ye's eyes moved, his face gradually softened, and he sat beside her, and was about to wave for someone, when Rumo stopped him: "Don't heat it up, I'm used to eating cold."

Nangong Ye was slightly surprised, Rumo said with a smile: "I have eaten cold food for eight years, and I have never had a meal as rich as today! Nangong Ye, I should thank you!"

The bright smile couldn't conceal the vicissitudes and coldness in her eyes, Nangong Ye felt a pain in his heart, couldn't help but grabbed her hand, and explained: "Mo'er, back then I..."

"Let's stop talking about the past!" Rumo interrupted, "Nangongye, I'll stay here to recuperate. You send someone to Qianse Garden to call Qinzhen over. I have something to tell her."
