night enchanting

Chapter 49 The Mysterious Blood Demon (1)
The night is as thick as ink, and the light and shadow are swaying in the wind that is accidentally sent, flickering lightly, but it brings out a heavy trajectory.

Chenwang Mansion, Chaoxiang Garden.The man who was once so strong that he seemed never to fall, now his eyes are closed, and his breath is almost nothing.Nangong Ao sat in front of the bed with a sad face and sad eyes, he didn't know what to say.He stared fixedly at the blood-stained hand beside the bed that had once cleared the way for him, but now he was unable to hang down, and his heart became more and more bitter.

For more than ten days, he has been talking about the past in his ear every day, talking about their youth, and the responsibilities that cannot be abandoned, trying to wake him up, but he has no response at all.Nangong Ao couldn't help feeling disheartened.

"Maybe you are really tired, want to let go of the responsibilities you have carried for many years, want to let go of everything... Is there nothing in this world that is worthy of your nostalgia?"

"The queen mother is gone, I know you are very sad; the younger sister is found, but she is facing you with a sword; and I, disregarding your feelings because of my responsibility, makes you even more disappointed..."

"And Ning'er... You feel that you owe her, so you don't want to wake up and face it? But you have always been strong and never escaped. This time, you want to die... If this is your wish... then From today onwards, I will not stop you anymore! If you want to leave, you can leave at ease. If there is another life, I hope we will still be brothers and not be born in the emperor's family. You don't have to bear the responsibility of your family and country, and you can live well Be selfish... don't take the place of anyone..."

His voice suddenly choked up, and his heart was extremely sad.In this world, everyone he cares about has left him. From now on, no one can really care about his feelings, and no one will plan everything for him.

"My lord, it's time for you to return to the palace!"

Yi De's voice came from behind, it turned out that it was already the fourth watch!
Nangong Ao closed his eyes forcefully, took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in his heart, and slowly got up.He knew that at this time, he couldn't fall down.

"Ye, I'll come see you tomorrow."

The lonely figure was melted into the cold moonlight, and the moment he left, a slender figure flashed out of the darkness, appearing in front of the sleeping man's bed at a speed that no one could see.

Everything here is still very familiar.Only the man lying quietly on the bed seemed unfamiliar.

I haven't seen him for half a month. The man who used to be strong and domineering is now lying there lifeless, so thin that he is out of shape.Even though he was prepared in his heart, seeing him like this at this moment, he still couldn't stop his heartache.She thought that with his willpower, she should be able to get through this test safely, but she didn't expect that he actually completely gave up the will to survive!

"Nangong Ye, if you begged to die...for me to come and see you, then you can open your eyes now, and I will stand in front of you."

She tried to calm herself down, but he didn't respond.In the whole room, she was the only one breathing.

Frowning, trying to ignore the growing anxiety and fear in her heart, she said again: "If you wake up now, I will give you a chance to explain."

"Just this time." She added, her voice trembling and uncontrollable.

The man lying on the bed still didn't respond.The tightly closed eyes were deeply sunken, as if they would never be opened again.Her heart was suffocated, an inexplicable annoyance suddenly rose from her heart, and it strongly occupied her emotions.

Maybe it's fear, maybe it's something else...

"Nangong Ye!" She suddenly shouted loudly, wanting to lift his quilt angrily, pick up the lifeless man and throw him to the ground, slamming him awake.But before he raised his hand, he felt powerless.

"What on earth are you doing?!" She slumped to the side of the bed, gathered his clothes tightly, and asked in a painful voice, "If you can't accept it, you will seek relief by dying, then Nangong Ye...in your heart, What am I?"

"You owe me...you haven't paid it back yet, so you want to die... How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?!"

The slender hands became tighter and tighter, and the cold fingers pressed against the man's still warm chest. She tried her best to calm herself down, but her hands trembled uncontrollably, revealing the woman's true inner feelings.

Fear, or fear, are not enough to describe her mood at the moment.

"Nangong Ye, did you hear what I said? You'd better wake me up immediately, otherwise I won't let you go when I get to the Underworld! Did you hear?!"

Painful voice, low and hoarse.The woman closed her eyes in despair, a tear rolled down and landed on the man's pale lips.

The bitter taste quickly diffused into the lips and teeth, and penetrated into the man's closed heart.

At that moment, the fingers that were powerlessly hanging on the edge of the bed suddenly moved slightly.

Rumo bowed her head and lay on the man's chest, where it was once scorching hot, as if it wanted to melt her.

"Nangong Ye, is it my misfortune to meet you, or your misfortune? Why did I exhaust all my strength, and in the end...I can't love even if I love, and I can't hate if I hate..."

"If you die like this, what's the point of everything I've endured?"

Hot tears fell one by one continuously, soaking the slightly cool chest into hot water.

Suddenly, she heard the beating of her heart, which changed from weak to strong. She looked up quickly and saw the man's eyelashes trembled, and then trembled again.

It was like a dream.

I heard her voice in the dream, and the tears she shed for him...

So sad, so hopeless.Awaken his dead heart little by little.

However, when he opened his eyes, after sleeping for sixteen days, he finally woke up, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see.

The chest was a little moist, and there seemed to be her breath in the air. He raised his hand to hold his chest, trying to convince himself that she had really been here, not a dream.

"My lord?!"

Just after dawn, Qing Yan fetched water into the house as usual, ready to wipe his face, but what he looked at, what he saw were his open eyes. Although the eyes were empty and out of focus, they were indeed open. with.

After a brief moment of stupefaction, a voice of incomparable excitement and joy spread throughout the entire Chen Palace in an instant.

"My lord is awake, my lord is awake!"

"My lord is awake... Hurry up and call Mr. Qi, hurry up!"

This morning, Prince Chen's mansion seemed to have been dead for a long time, and suddenly came back to life.There were excited voices everywhere, and even the entire capital city seemed to be full of life.

In the tense situation where there were rumors of war, his waking up undoubtedly played a role in boosting morale and calming people's hearts.However, very soon, there was another news that after waking up, King Chen didn't care about the government, and spent his days drinking in the Palace of King Chen, decadent and depressed.All those who came to visit were turned away, even the king was no exception.

All of a sudden, the whole country was closed, people's hearts fluctuated, and everyone was panicked.

But in any case, he finally survived.Looking at the burnt picture scroll, Ru Mo let out a sigh of relief, with complicated emotions, he couldn't tell whether it was sadness or joy.

"What are you thinking about?" A gentle voice suddenly came from behind, Ru Mo immediately put away the scroll, turned around and said with a smile: "It's nothing."

Leng Yixiao glanced at the things in her hands, and didn't ask any more questions, just looking at her thinner face, feeling very distressed.Things in the magic palace are more complicated than he imagined, and the size of the Yun Pavilion and the Dark Pavilion is even more beyond his expectation.Sometimes it is really hard to imagine how such a slender body of hers has so much energy and can manage such a huge organization in an orderly manner.

"Yan'er, I want to go for a walk, you can accompany me." He smiled softly, put the scroll in her hand into the box, and pulled her up.

Ru Mo was slightly stunned. Rather than saying that he wanted to go out for a walk, it was better to say that he hoped that she could put down her burden for a while and go out to relax.

Unable to bear his kindness, Rumo nodded in agreement.Before leaving, call Wanli and Luanyun.

Luan Yun almost jumped up happily, chattering excitedly along the way.

Along the way, no matter what they saw, they were interested. If they were not being dragged away by Wanli, they probably wouldn't be able to complete the entire street in a whole day.Rumo shook her head helplessly, and asked Wanli to pick out some things that Luanyun liked and were easy to carry. Le Luanyun happily closed her mouth from ear to ear, and kept shouting: "Miss is the best!"

Wanli was angry and funny, and feigned anger, she tapped her on the forehead, reprimanded: "You're getting more and more unruly because Miss spoils you!"

Luan Yun clutched her forehead with a headache, made a grimace and ran away.

Run to Sacred Heart Lake in one go.It used to be very lively here, with literati and scholars everywhere, but since the situation in the world has changed and border wars are imminent, this place is no longer the hustle and bustle of the past, and the quietness makes people feel a little uncomfortable.The wide lake and the scattered boats add a bit of bleakness to this early autumn season.But this did not affect Luan Yun's enthusiasm. As soon as she arrived at the lake, Luan Yun shouted cheerfully: "Miss, can we rent a beautiful painting boat?"

Before Rumo answered, Wanli laughed and said, "Of course not! Mr. Yixiao always only rides on bamboo rafts, not on painted boats!"

"Ah? Wanli, how do you know?" Luan Yun's eyes widened strangely, and she said in confusion, "You have always paid little attention to other people except for what the lady told you!"

"I..." Wanli didn't know how to answer this question for a while, but at this moment, a harsh and sharp female voice came from the lake not far away.

"Where do you think you are going?! You little bitch, you don't want to learn how to be good, but you actually learn how to escape from marriage. Do you not want to live anymore!"

"That's right, concubine, it's your blessing that even the third son has a crush on you. As long as you marry, you will have inexhaustible glory and wealth. Why can't you think about it so much?!"

Two well-dressed middle-aged women, with a dozen servants, surrounded a young woman in a red wedding dress.It seems that they are people of some status.The woman's face was very delicate, but her expression was extremely sad. She pleaded with the two women: "Second Niang and Third Niang, please let me go, I really don't want to marry!"

"You say you won't get married if you don't marry? The Lian family is one of the three great families in the martial arts world. They are well-known. We have already accepted the bride price from others. Now we are going to return it. Are you looking for death? Thanks to you, you are still the most talented woman in the capital city. Why are you so stubborn, all these years of reading books are for nothing..."

The number one talented woman in Kyoto?Ru Mo looked up.

"It's her?" Leng Yixiao frowned lightly.

Rumo asked, "You know him?"

Before Leng Yixiao could answer, there was a splash, and the woman in red jumped into the lake.

She would rather die than marry, she looks weak, but she is actually a strong woman.Rumo couldn't help feeling a little regretful, and wanted to turn around to see Leng Yixiao's reaction, but found that there was no one around.He couldn't help being surprised, especially when he saw Leng Yixiao saving the woman who jumped into the lake.It is strange that he, who has always disliked meddling in other people's business, would actually save people.

Ru Mo stepped forward and smiled, "The number one talented woman in the capital city, Ms. Li?"

If I remember correctly, it should be Li Feier, the daughter of Prime Minister Li who was demoted by Nangong Ao before.

After choking on water in the lake, Li Fei'er coughed and her face flushed, she calmed down a bit, then she looked up at her and asked, "Are you..."

Rumo looked towards Leng Yixiao who was behind her. At this time, Leng Yixiao had already let go of the woman, with no expression on her face, as if saving someone was just a whim.

Li Fei'er turned her head immediately, and the moment she saw Leng Yixiao, she seemed to be stunned.I don't know whether it was too pleasantly surprised or too sad, but tears came to my eyes, and the expression was even more complicated.

"Young Master Yixiao..." He opened his mouth, and only spit out these few words, which were full of countless emotions.

Leng Yixiao didn't respond, nor looked at her, but said indifferently: "You only live once, you shouldn't be so contemptuous!"

"So what if I'm not contemptuous?" Li Fei'er said desolately, "If you want me to marry that frivolous and lustful Young Master Lian San... I would rather die! Young Master, since you don't have any intentions, you shouldn't save me!"

Tears of sorrow gushed out in an instant and covered her beautiful face.

Leng Yixiao frowned slightly, "So, it's my fault!"

Li Fei'er held back her sobs, raised her head and said, "My lord is really unnecessary! Even back then...you shouldn't have saved me. If you hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have worked so hard to make myself the number one in people's mouths." Talented girl... I thought that I would be worthy of you, but you never cared about me!"

So there is still such a paragraph, Rumo can't help but sigh.This woman is frank and unaffected, but unfortunately, my brother doesn't like it.Ru Mo sighed: "Miss Li, you really would rather die than marry Third Young Master Lian?"

"Yan'er!" Knowing her intentions, Leng Yixiao quickly pulled her aside and stopped her: "This is a family affair, don't interfere!"

The Lian family is not an ordinary great family, but the head of the three great families in the martial arts world.And the three great families are very powerful in Jianghu, even surpassing the seven sects.They are even more related by in-laws, and they have always shared the same hatred.In this martial arts conference, she already has strong enemies to deal with, how can she make more strong enemies because of him!
Ru Mo said, "It doesn't matter, although the strength of the three great families should not be underestimated, they are still not enough threats to me!"

"But..." Leng Yixiao still disagreed, and Rumo said again: "I didn't do this all for my brother's sake, I just felt it was a pity. Since my brother couldn't bear to see her die, he probably didn't want to see her being forced to commit himself Julien? Well, let's hear her plan first!"

Looking down coldly, he really couldn't bear it.Ru Mo turned around and asked Concubine Li, "If you don't have to marry Lian San, what are your plans?"

Li Fei'er said: "Find a secluded place, get rid of the red dust, and shave your hair to become a nun."

This was what she had thought about before escaping marriage today.If you don't have the person in your heart for the rest of your life, you'd rather the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha die.

"You are so free and easy!" Seeing the firmness in her eyes, Rumo admired her.

Li Fei'er smiled wryly and said: "So what if you are not free and easy? Not everyone is so lucky. The person you like happens to like you too!"

Is that called luck?If it is two people who are not suitable, it may not be a blessing if they are in love with each other!Like her and Nangong Ye...

"You go." Rumo sighed softly, "Here, I will help you."

Li Fei'er seemed unable to believe it, "You..."

At this time, Leng Yixiao stepped forward silently, came to the two women who were still in a daze, took out a jade pendant from her waist, handed it over, and said with a cold expression: "You two ladies, it is best to return the betrothal gift from the Lian family as soon as possible." Go back. Otherwise, the crime of forcing a civilian daughter to death is enough for you to spend the rest of your life in the government prison."

"Who are you? How dare you threaten us! Do you know that the Lian family..."

"No matter how powerful the Lian family is, it's just a family in the Jianghu. If they want someone, let them come to Jingguo Hou's mansion and look for me, Leng Yixiao!" His expression was flat, as if he didn't take the Lian family seriously at all. .

"Jingguohou's Mansion? Leng... Are you Mr. Yixiao?" Mr. Yixiao, who refused the official position three times without being convicted, has a close relationship with the current King Shang and King Chen!Madam Li's complexion changed sharply, she took the jade pendant and looked at it again and again, it was indeed a property of the Jingguo Houfu!Surprised, although he was unwilling, he didn't dare to say anything more.

Li Fei'er watched this scene, and suddenly smiled contentedly. She always knew that he never likes to publicize his identity, and he is not proud of being a nobleman, but today, he used his identity to suppress others for her. It proves that in his heart, she is still different from ordinary people?

Taking off her wedding dress and veil, the woman left with a smile on her face.It seems that this time, there will be no regrets in this life.

And right after Li Fei'er left, Young Master Lian San, who couldn't wait for the bride, chased here murderously with many followers.

Seeing the two wives of the Li family, he immediately asked aggressively: "Where are you? You are really useless, so many people can't stop a little girl?"

"No, Mr. Lian San," Mrs. Li San quickly explained: "We were going to catch her, but... was let go by Mr. Yi Xiao again!"

The woman timidly pointed at Leng Yixiao, and Lian San immediately stared over, his eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to eat people.He strode towards Leng Yixiao, but before he got close, he saw Rumo behind Leng Yixiao.

His eyes suddenly brightened, even more amazing than seeing Li Fei'er for the first time!Lian San's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in amazement: "Ah! Whose lady is this?...It's even more beautiful than Li Fei'er! It's just...it's like a fairy descending from heaven, so beautiful, so beautiful!"

While applauding and admiring, the saliva almost flowed down.Lian San looked excited, as if he wished he could drag her down and pay homage right away.Looking coldly, Xiao frowned.

Lian San hurriedly came, and couldn't wait to walk and shouted: "Beauty, hurry up, tell me, what's your name? If you are willing to go home with me, I will definitely keep you popular and spicy. There is endless glory and wealth!"

"Bold! What are you, you deserve to ask my lady's name! You dare to speak rudely, be careful I will cut your tongue!"

With a soft shout, two half-unsheathed sharp swords intersected in front of Lian San. The strong murderous aura forced him to stop.Seeing him staring at Ru Mo with that wretched gaze, Luan Yun immediately became angry and wanted to gouge out the man's eyeballs.
