Traitor

Chapter 322

How could I not understand, I just didn't want to admit it from the bottom of my heart.Some things are too cruel, so cruel that people dare not touch them, for fear that life will be worse than death if they finally know the truth.

Xue Lan sat there steadfastly, completely dazed, trembling physically and mentally.

Mu Baili let out a long breath, "The so-called life and death Gu is not to live and die with you, but to leave the hope of life to each other. From the very beginning, Wang Shaojun didn't want to die with you. At any time, it can be your last straw. He is alive, he just wants to be a container for you to raise Gu!"

"So I don't know how to cherish it?" Xue Lan smiled wryly, then leaned against the tree trunk weakly.Some things will turn bloody once the truth is revealed.

Xue Lan thought, after all, she failed him.

Wang Shaojun is a paranoid person, and what he believes is that he will die without regret.This is even more true for Xue Lan.Love at first sight, goodbye is a lifetime.He really gave his whole life, whether it was at the beginning or now, it has never changed.

She suddenly figured it out, and looked at Mu Baili with red eyes, "So you also have the same feelings for Zhao Wuyou?"

Mu Baili didn't say a word, the poison rushing around in his body could no longer allow him to think about those eternal myths.He is just worried now that she will go looking for him indefinitely.He knows Zhao Wuyou's temperament best, and he will never give up until he achieves his goal.

The chest heaved violently, this poisonous fruit is really powerful, as long as there is a little bit left, it will come back again in the body.Before he recovered much of his internal energy, the poison had already spread to his limbs and bones.

The palm of the hand was filled with black mist, Mu Baili sighed softly, and closed his eyes against the tree trunk.

"If there is such a day, you will all sacrifice for each other, won't you?" Xue Lan burst into tears, "From the beginning to the end, I have not been able to get in between you. I have always been ignorant of good and bad, and it is me... ...There will never be another Wang Shaojun in this world."

Mu Baili opened his eyes and looked at her, "There is only one Zhao Wuyou in this world."

Xue Lan smiled and wept, "You know? I worshiped the world with Wang Shaojun, although it was not my intention at the beginning. But now that I think about it, he is the one who treats me most sincerely, but I have no chance... no chance Again."

Mu Baili thought of the days and nights he had with Zhao Wuyou, Zhao Wuyou's fiery appearance in her wedding dress, and the gentleness of her bowing her head and smiling.For such an indifferent and alienated person, he finally warmed her heart, but accidentally chilled her heart.

Now that the future is bleak and life and death are unpredictable, what should he do?As long as there is even a chance, even if he dies, he will die by her side.But after thinking about it, if he saw her, how could he be willing to die?
Xue Lan wept silently, but what's the use of regret?People always have to wait until they lose to know the preciousness of what they once had.

The Buddha said that all human suffering comes from: not being able to get and not being able to let go.

In the next life, will you still recognize my appearance?
There was movement outside, Mu Baili frowned suddenly, "Someone is coming!"

Xue Lan quickly wiped away her tears, and put her ears on the ground, "It's the sound of horseshoes, someone is coming this way, probably pursuers."

"How many people are there?" Mu Baili asked.

Xue Lan listened carefully, "There are more than ten people at least!"

Mu Baili's brows frowned even deeper, "It's not a chaser, it's probably..." He didn't continue, "Help me up."

Xue Lan nodded, and immediately helped Mu Baili get up carefully, "How are you? Can you still go? Lu Qianhu hasn't come back yet, is it... How about we go find Lu Qianhu!"

"You won't understand!" Mu Baili's eyes were ruthless, and he gradually felt the strangeness behind him after fleeing these days.Later, he figured out one thing. Lu Guoan said that Jian Yan was still alive and running around like a living dead, so he realized that this thing probably followed him.

Although this is very dangerous, it is also very good, at least she is safe.

Taking a deep breath, he was slightly relieved, "Are you okay?"

Xue Lan nodded, "Don't worry, it's not a problem to deal with those young people." With two lives on his shoulders, how could he fall so easily?She thought, if she had the chance to return to the capital, she might be able to sit in front of his grave and have a good talk!

Mu Baili sneered twice, "Small boy?" That thing is powerful. You must know that Jian Yan's abilities all come from the ghost palace, and he has a lot of resentment, which may affect the formation he set up .

After all, Mu Baili at this moment doesn't have the slightest bit of internal strength, so he can't lay out a more profound and mysterious formation, and he can't sit in the formation.

But the more you are afraid of something, the more you will come. In the depths of Mu Baili, you have already seen those menacing people.They were all specially assigned to Jian Yan by He Feng, and they had been hiding behind the pursuers.

But now that Lu Guoan managed to kill all the pursuers, and seeing that he could escape into Daqi territory, Jian Yan couldn't hold back anymore.

"Withdraw!" Mu Baili only felt the pain in his body, screaming from the cracks of his bones.Probably the corpse poison originated from Jian Yan, but now that he saw the master, he became even more unscrupulous.

Xue Lan also noticed the sudden change in Mu Baili's complexion, knowing that something was wrong, she hurriedly supported Mu Baili, and was about to leave the formation from Shengmen.Use this array to temporarily trap Jian Yan and the others, and give yourself some time to escape.

Mu Baili tried his best to support himself, he must not fall down.

When the two ran out quietly, Mu Baili couldn't bear it anymore, but fortunately Lu Guoan returned in time.He was holding some dry biscuits and some water. Seeing such a situation, he had no choice but to fight hard to kill the people outside the formation.

Jian Yan has already joined the battle, and he probably wants to find out where Mu Baili is in the battle.

The cold arrow left the string and quickly sank into Lu Guoan's chest.He took a deep breath, and the cold sword left his hand, piercing the archer's throat.His feet were soft, and he lowered his eyebrows to look at the arrow on his chest, thinking... Maybe something bad will happen.

But even so, the breath in the chest still couldn't be spit out.If he died, then Mu Baili would definitely die.Seeing that hope is ahead, how can he fall down at this time?
Picking up a sword on the ground, Qi broke off the arrow body in his chest, leaving only the arrow in his body.The arrow cannot be easily pulled out from that part, otherwise, if there is heavy bleeding, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold my breath.

These people had arrows in their hands, and Lu Guoan flew up, killing them all to the ground with all his might.When the last arrow came, Lu Guoan had no strength to dodge it, and was hit hard by the arrow again.

In the end, it was Xue Lan who brought Mu Baili out, and it was Xue Lan who took the man's life. Together with Lu Guoan, they got into the carriage and quickly drove away with the two of them.

Mu Baili's complexion has become worse and worse, and in the end, he is basically no different from a dead person.But he didn't dare to close his eyes, for fear that closing his eyes would be the eternal secret of his past and present lives.

Lu Guoan leaned against the wall of the car, his face pale as paper, his hands were covered with blood, and he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms tremblingly.

"Lord Qiantui." He yelled in a low voice, poured the medicine in the porcelain bottle into his palm, and stuffed it into Mu Baili's mouth with all his strength, "Swallow it, you can live."

Mu Baili blinked at him weakly, looked at the blood on Lu Guoan's lips, saw the smile on his lips, and swallowed with a slight frown.The friendship between him and Lu Guoan has long surpassed life and death, and the tacit understanding between the two does not need to say anything.

Seeing that Mu Baili swallowed it, Lu Guoan leaned against him with relief, and the two big men wanted to say something intimate.

"I'm about to die." Lu Guoan smiled weakly, "If you hurt your vitals, you will die if you don't pull out the arrow. But Lord Qiantui, you have to live well. Mr. Zhao is still waiting for your death in the capital like crazy. News, if you don't go back, I'm afraid she will really wash Dongchang with blood."

"I forgot to tell you, Wen Gu said that Mr. Zhao may be pregnant with a daughter. I won't be able to see the child's full moon banquet, so I won't give gifts. Anyway, you have everything and you don't miss me."

He swallowed with difficulty, his throat filled with a fishy and sweet taste.Turning his head to look at Mu Baili's helpless smile, he also laughed out loud.But with this smile, blood gushed out from his throat, staining his skirt red.

"I can't accompany you anymore." Lu Guoan said with a smile, "I'm just sorry that I died here like this, and I didn't get to go back to the capital."

Xu heard the laughter inside, Xue Lan stopped the carriage on the Gobi.No one continued to chase after her, and she thought it was safe for the time being.The moment she opened the curtain, she was shocked.

Lu Guoan was covered in blood, leaning against the wall of the car, the two of them laughed like two idiots.

This is probably the friendship between men, Xue Lan doesn't understand.

Good brother, there is no afterlife in this life.

Lu Guoan held the hairpin in his hand, "You know, I made a promise to Suxi, but I can't go back, so I feel very sad. But if you can go back, there will be fewer people in this world." The sad poor man is the girl Suxi who wronged me."

Xue Lan burst into tears, "You all have to hold on, there is a desert across the road to Nanfu Town. I came out of the desert, and I can take you through the desert into Daqi territory. As long as you can leave Daye, We are no longer afraid of chasing soldiers."

"Okay!" Lu Guoan nodded, put the hairpin in his arms and put it close to his body, "I want to accompany Lord Qiansui to finish this journey."

Mu Baili still had the same sneer, "It's really hypocritical." But he added, "Life and death go together."

The two men looked at each other more than a thousand words.

Xue Lan led the horse and walked in the desert, stepping on the yellow sand with one deep foot and one shallow foot.Coming out of the desert, she is well versed in the rules of survival in the desert, and she knows how to distinguish the east, west, north, and south in this desert.

It's just that she never expected that Jian Yan is a lingering existence.Even after entering this desert, he never thought of letting Mu Baili go.

Jian Yan led people into the desert. He knew that his body would decay faster in the heat, but he still chose to die together.This kind of obsession has long gone beyond the scope of human beings and is a demonic existence.

In that big wind and sandstorm, everything was wiped out.

The wind and sand blew on his face, making him numb from the pain.In the dark world, life becomes extremely small, and the wind and sand that fills the sky quickly engulfs people.In the shadow of swords and swords, it is impossible to see the surrounding situation clearly.

This battle, Xue Lan thought it was the most difficult battle, no matter how high her martial arts were, she couldn't beat the destructive wind and sandstorm, no matter how good her internal strength was, she couldn't win it.Xue Lan couldn't remember exactly what happened in the end.

She only remembered that during the storm, most of Lu Guoan and Mu Baili were buried in the wind and sand, but the two were desperately trying to drag each other out of the sand.

The love of life and death has long surpassed that of brotherhood.

Xue Lan couldn't remember what happened afterwards.The wind and sandstorm came so violently that no one cared about fighting again. Xuelan, a woman, desperately tried to protect two dying men, and was exhausted in the end...

When she opened her eyes, she was already in the inn.

"After I woke up, I was already here, and I can't remember how far I dragged them away. After all, it's right to try my best." Xue Lan said in a low voice, "But desperate In the end, I am still the only one standing here, telling you about those tragic desolations."

She looked up at Zhao Wuyou and Su Xi, "If possible, I'd rather die than want them both to have an accident. But things turned out to be contrary to my wishes, what I can do is limited after all, I can't save Mu Baili, and I can't save Lu Guoan either. In this chaos, my lock is only used as a microphone, and it can't do anything else."

After finishing speaking, Xue Lan cupped her hands towards Zhao Wuyou, and left silently.

The old man sighed softly, "I happened to be out on business at the time, who knows how many people were involved in this wind and sandstorm. I thought it was a free pick-me-up, and I was dragged back directly. I didn't expect there were still alive."

Su Xi didn't respond, but just stared at the cold tombstone steadily, without saying a word, only when this life was over, did she dare to tell you that you were the most misunderstood choice in this life.

"Su Xi?" Zhao Wuyou leaned over.

Seeing this, the old man sighed softly, "This story is really bad, you guys talk slowly, I'll go back first!" If this continues, the old man feels that his sadness will also flood.

"I just regret it. When he left that day, why did you even give him an answer so stingy? Young Master, do you know how regretful I am?" Suxi smiled bitterly, "I finally understand the mood of Young Master at the beginning. When you are devastated, you really can’t cry.”

She looked at Zhao Wuyou, and her smile was uglier than crying, "I can't cry... But my heart hurts so badly. How long has it been? Earlier, she brazenly said that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with me Yes, now when I close my eyes, I don’t count.”

Zhao Wuyou gently hugged Suxi, "When you are sad, just think about the happy things in the past. When you think about it, your heart will hurt more and more, and then you will be able to cry. Many years ago, I could let you start again , let you slowly forget that tragic period. Now I can only say that everything will pass, and time is the best suffering."

Su Xi laughed hard, her eye sockets were so dry from the wind that she couldn't shed a single tear.Life is full of joys and sorrows, but the departure of some people can take all your joys, anger, sorrows and joys away.

Distressed to numb, it will not hurt anymore.

"This time I don't have to worry about him leaving again, and I don't have to worry about not being able to find him." Su Xi smiled, "I'll have a good talk with him, son, let's go first!"

Zhao Wuyou nodded, what Suxi needs at this moment is calmness.The person she wants to accompany is this man who will never come back.

The sky was full of yellow sand, and the sun was very bright. The scorching sand ironed the skin, causing burning pain.

Sitting in front of the stele, Su Xi lightly brushed the hairpin on the stone stele, "If I knew I wouldn't be able to come back, I shouldn't have let you take this hairpin away." She choked up for a moment, then her body trembled with laughter, "You You should take me with you."

Looking at the hairpin with red eyes, Suxi took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "Isn't it a bit late to say this? If I agreed to you that day, would you be able to last until I came to you? I I don't understand the friendship between you men, but I know what you did was right."

"If one day the young master is in danger, I will be like you, desperate for her, even sacrificing my own life. But Lu Guoan, you are worthy of heaven and earth, but you are worthy of me, aren't you?"

"Is the confession before the farewell a child's play? But I took it seriously! Why didn't you count it when I took it seriously? Wen Gu said, you are receiving treatment, and I thought at that time, maybe I should try to let go of everything before, maybe I should really start over."

"I was trying, but you let go."

Now what?There is only a handful of lovesickness left, and I will never come back.

"I was a widow once, and I don't want to be a widow a second time." Su Xi finally cried out, with her hands resting on both sides of the stele, "Men are bastards, and every time they talk, it doesn't count. If you have the ability, you should Climb out and make it clear to me. Don’t you think it’s wrong to say those affectionate things but do unfeeling things? Lying down here with peace of mind, you think this is your pride? What about me? "

If I knew I couldn't do it, why promise?Why bother?Irresponsible after being provoked, what is the difference between those who are unlucky?
Zhao Wuyou stood quietly in front of the inn, looking at the sky filled with yellow sand, looked up at the scorching sun, lowered his eyebrows slightly, "It took me a long, long time to drag Suxi back from the edge of despair. In this world, she only trusts two people, one is me, and the other is her senior brother."

"Later, I wanted to get her out of the shadows and persuade her to start over. But I didn't expect that it would end up like this. If I knew it would happen, I wouldn't be such a messy person back then, and I wouldn't be like this today. This is the culprit."

Xue Lan sobbed, "I'm sorry for you, I can't save them."

"Man's fate is predestined, and who can tell clearly about the arrangement of God?" Zhao Wuyou let out a long breath, "It's Suxi and Lu Guoan who don't have this blessing. They have already made all the preparations, but It still falls short. In life, the last thing we can do is to wait."

No one will wait for you in place, and no one will wait for you all the time.If you are still hesitating, God will make up your mind for you.So when you regret it, it is only your regret.

This is true for Su Xi, and so is Xue Lan.

They all regretted it, but...God didn't give them another chance, because the people who loved them have long been buried in the ground at this moment.

Zhao Wuyou looked at the yellow sand all over the sky, and remembered that sentence: You buried the mud in the spring to sell your bones, and I sent the world full of snow.

This is probably the biggest regret in the world, the unfulfilled fate.

The white clothes are slender, Zhao Wuyou is still Zhao Wuyou, except when he vomited a mouthful of blood when he first saw Mu Baili, he didn't have any mood swings.In the eyes of the crazy old man, this is almost unbelievable.

"No wonder Xuelan said that you are a great person, but now it seems that you are really a great person." The crazy old man led the way, "I thought you would be sad for a long time, but I didn't expect you to wake up It's all gone."

"How do you know I'm not sad?" Zhao Wuyou's voice was low, "It's just that if you do too many sad and sad things, it's inevitable that relatives and enemies will be hurt, so why should I embarrass myself and take advantage of others? Husband hasn't Death, I have to put away all this sadness, if even I have only despair, then who will save him?"

The old man thought about it, and it seemed to be the reason.

"This room smells a little bit, bear with it." The old man smiled, his spirits uplifted, "You don't even know, this man is a tough guy. No, it should be said that this dead man is a tough guy. But don't worry, I will tie him up tightly." Strictly speaking, he can't hurt you. If I knew he was such a bad thing, the old man should give him a little bit of strength, take it out from time to time to dry it, and it will be fun to dry it."

Zhao Wuyou stood outside the basement door, his brows darkened, "The shopkeeper, please wait outside."

"Don't worry!" The old man sat down outside, "I'll wait here, you just need to stimulate him, by the way... it's best for him to tell me where the Gu on his body is raised, the old man just wants to see it with his own eyes. Take a look, what is this Gu? I heard that it is a bug?"

Zhao Wuyou didn't say a word, but pushed the door open and entered.

It is true that as the old man said, there is a rancid smell in this room, which is really unbearable for ordinary people.

Zhao Wuyou walked to the candlestick, took the torch from his waist, and lit the candlestick.

The light of the candle flickered, reflecting that white clothes like snow, that plain white face.Zhao Wuyou wasn't in a hurry, and sat down at the table in a leisurely manner, not intending to approach the bed at all to take a look at Jian Yan's current situation.

She was calm and silent, and she was indifferent and alienated like an outsider.

Jian Yan was dazzled by the light, and it took a while to open a slit in his eyes, and then he froze there, looking at Zhao Wuyou who was sitting not far away without saying a word in disbelief.The young man in white has picturesque eyes, but his face is always expressionless.

"Acacia?" There was a weak voice in his hoarse voice.These two words haunted him all his life, and it was because of these two words that he ended up like this.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen her. When that white dress appeared in front of him, he felt like a dream and couldn't restrain his excitement.

Zhao Wuyou sat in the twilight, his white clothes remained the same, and his face remained the same.She looked at him very calmly, without any emotional fluctuations.At this time, what's the use even if you step forward and tear Jian Yan apart?Can Mu Baili open his eyes, can Lu Guoan be resurrected?

both are not!
Since you can't, then don't waste your emotions on such a person.

"Hehuan, why don't you talk? Hehuan..." Jian Yan was a little nervous, "Is it because I scare you now? Don't be afraid, I'm still Jian Yan, I'm still your Ayan, and I'm still the one who was with you from childhood The Jian Yan who grew up together. Hehuan, Hehuan, can you say something, every time you don't speak, I feel very sad in my heart. "

"A Yan?" Zhao Wuyou opened his mouth in a low voice, "My childhood sweetheart, A Yan, has long since died, and you are just an undead being used by others! Look at your current appearance, there is still a little bit of life left. Are there any traces of it? Apart from being able to talk and being a little conscious, do you still have humanity?"

Jian Yan paused, "Acacia?"

"Don't call it that name, I think it's dirty." Zhao Wuyou said lightly, groping for the bone flute in his hand with his fingertips.

"No, Hehuan, you are my Hehuan, Hehuan..." Jian Yan seemed to have gone crazy, and his whole body began to struggle.

But with his current physical condition, he could no longer be self-willed. If he continued to toss, the rotten flesh would break, and then the bones would be damaged.Once this kind of injury is formed, it will be difficult to heal. After all, he is already dead, and there is no possibility of recovery.

"I've never belonged to you." Zhao Wuyou stroked the bone flute, his eyes were ruthless, "From the very beginning, I said that it was impossible between us. But you think so self-righteously that you are everything to me. You wanted to change my life on your own initiative, but you never asked me whether to agree or not. You thought it was for my own good, but you just moved yourself and disgusted me!"

Jian Yan was still struggling, he looked at her in disbelief, "It's not like this, I'm for you, everything I do is for you. Hehuan, you believe me! You believe me!"

"So what if I believe you? You're already dead." Zhao Wuyou stood up to look at him. Facing such a terrifying face, she didn't have the slightest sign of fear, she just felt disgusted. "You almost ruined my life when you were alive." The first half of my life, and now you are dead and trying to ruin the second half of my life. Jian Yan, do you still dare to say that everything you did was for me?"

"I give you opportunities everywhere, and I want you to wake up, but later I realized that showing mercy to the enemy is cruelty to myself. Mu Baili's current situation is the best proof."

Jian Yan was stunned, "You mean, you don't regret killing me?"

"Regret?" Zhao Wuyou smiled, "What I regret is that I didn't cut your corpse into thousands of pieces, so that you can still behave in this world and change everyone's ending self-righteously. If it weren't for you, tens of millions of people in Jinling City People won't die, and so many people won't be displaced. If it wasn't for you, Lu Guoan wouldn't die and Suxi wouldn't be sad, and Mu Baili wouldn't be like this, leaving me and my children with nothing to depend on."

"You - and your child? Mu Baili..." Jian Yan sneered twice.

Zhao Wuyou raised his head and took a deep breath, "Yeah, we are very happy. The family of three saw that they were going to be together forever, but I didn't expect you, a lingering ghost, to succeed."

"Then I was right to do this!" Jian Yan smiled bitterly, almost gnashing his teeth, "I finally made you feel distressed, didn't I? Hehuan, do you feel distressed? You feel the pain that life is worse than death Is it very painful and uncomfortable? You know, that is what I have experienced, the pain you gave. "

"You're wrong, this pain doesn't come from you, but from the matter between me and Mu Baili, what's your business?" Zhao Wuyou sneered, "You think killing Mu Baili will make me suffer for the rest of my life , that's wrong. What he gave me was never pain, only joy and happiness. I have no regrets in my life to have such a beloved man. At worst, he dies and I die, and we are all together! This is a deep feeling Heavy, you can’t have it in your life.”

"What about your child!" Jian Yan yelled angrily, "I don't believe Master will let your child be safe and sound."

Zhao Wuyou suddenly clenched the bone flute in his hand, "You informed Xiao Rong?"

"Yes!" Jian Yan suddenly laughed, laughing so wildly, "When I came back from Lu Guoan, I knew that the possibility of killing Mu Baili was very small. If so, I had to try another way. I didn't expect, I didn't expect..."

He laughed so piercingly that Zhao Wuyou's complexion gradually changed.

As a mother, the most intolerable thing is the children.She conceived in October and gave birth to one child. She couldn't wait for her husband to return, and the child was lost. The pain and hatred accumulated in her heart, only she knew how heavy it was.

The joints turned white, Zhao Wuyou wished he could crush the bones of the person in front of him.

But after thinking about it, Jian Yan is already a dead person, he won't feel any pain except waiting for death, so even if you stab him a few times, he won't feel any pain.Killing him like this would be too cheap for him.

"Hehuan, do you feel distressed?" Jian Yan asked gently.

Zhao Wuyou remained silent, standing there tensed slightly.

Jian Yan smiled softly again, "If you feel distressed, then cry! With me, you don't need any cover-up, if you feel uncomfortable, just cry! Hehuan, I hurt Mu Baili, and let me Master dealt with your child, do you feel that you hate me? Do you regret it now? Regret killing me, regret not being with me? Hehuan..."

"I will save Mu Baili." Zhao Wuyou stepped forward slowly, "I will be with him for a long time, of course, you will never see this day. My fate with him is not over, we There will be many more children and a better future."

"You don't know yet, Xiao Rong has become a bereaved dog, and the whole Daye is chasing him. Can you still count on Xiao Rong to save you again? Don't think about it, even if he holds my child, so what? ? He no longer has the ability to turn the tide."

Jian Yan stared fixedly at Zhao Wuyou, "Why aren't you angry? Why don't you...don't hate me?"

"Why should I be angry? You are already a dead person? If I am angry with a dead person, wouldn't I also be angry to death?" Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "Since you are lingering, I have to let you see clearly , all your wishful thinking will be in vain. You know the Butterfly Gu, right! You are well aware of the Promise Palace's coveting of the Butterfly Gu."

"What do you want to say?" Jian Yan's eyes widened. "The Butterfly Gu will make you weaker and weaker. If you can't take it out in time, you will die."

Zhao Wuyou sneered, "You have been smart all your life, but you have been fooled by Xiao Rong. Is it me, or are you more pitiful? Xiao Rong is poisoned by Gu, and needs the Butterfly Gu on me to revive human flesh and bones, and heal him." Gu. He is just using you, but you still worship him as a god, it is simply stupid."
