Phoenix Knot: Butterfly Dance

Chapter 122

I bumped into the city gate, and my shoulders ached. Someone pushed me. When I came back to my senses, what I saw was...

Cheng Jin held the bamboo flute in one hand and played the piece of music non-stop. He put the other hand in front of the horses and stroked them lightly. The horses stopped.

She did it, she really did.

"Third brother, third brother!" Second brother's voice sounded in the distance, full of worry.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a horse rushed towards the city gate like crazy. I was dumbfounded and forgot to escape. I just remembered that I pointed my sword forward.

I saw it, there was someone right away, with a dagger... It was a child!

"Ch... hiss..."

A bright dagger flashed in front of my eyes, a ray of light blocked my sight, blurred my front, there was a faint figure, a piece of music...

"puff!"

"Bah!" After I realized it, I had already pierced the child to death with a sword, and the horse fell to the side and was hit by the sword, as if someone shot it from a distance.

But my body, covered with blood, is not mine.

The dagger pierced Cheng Jin's chest straight, she blocked the sword for me, she fell in front of me, I was stunned.

At the critical moment, she rushed to me, and Jian Xuan who was not far away threw the sword in his hand and shot the horse.But the child on the horse turned over, flew towards me, and stabbed me with a dagger. As a result, a sword stabbed Cheng Jin who was standing in front of me, and I sealed my throat with a sword, killing the child.

I'm covered in blood, but it's not mine, not mine.

"Cheng Jin!" I quickly helped her up, but she showed me a smile.

"Cheng Jin...why are you so stupid...how do you feel now, I'll take you back to the city immediately!"

The second brother also rushed over at this time, squatting aside and looking at Cheng Jin with guilt on his face: "If I can be faster, maybe..."

"No..." Cheng Jin said weakly: "I know my injury may not heal..."

"Nonsense!" I scolded, "Stop talking, I'll take you in."

"No..." She tugged on my sleeve, her face was pale, but she smiled: "I'm afraid if I don't say anything, I won't have a chance..."

"Xue...Young Master...do you still remember the first time we met in Baicheng..."

"....remember..." I seemed to know what she was going to say, I closed my eyes and opened them again: "remember, I remember"

—————At that time...it was New Year's Eve in Baicheng, it was full of lanterns, and the trees were full of wishing bamboo plaques...

"My lord, throw it away!" Zhang Wang said, and threw his piece up the tree, but it fell again, and he hurried over to pick it up, and threw it again.

I stepped back, looked at the direction, and threw it upwards vigorously.

"Oh!"

I saw two bamboo tablets collided and both fell to the ground.

Walking through the crowd, I finally saw the bamboo cards I dropped on the ground, but there was a person who picked up two bamboo cards one step ahead of me.

"girl…"

"My wish came true, these four words were actually written on your bamboo plaque"

When the woman turned around, I saw her face...very familiar, she was...

"My lord, you look familiar." Her voice was melodious and her smile was like a flower. If I remember correctly, her name is Cheng Jin. ——

"Later...we met again in the tavern...then...in Shengjiabao...we went to Guifang Palace together...King Guifang wants you to marry the princess..." She said, her breath getting weaker and weaker, I wanted to make her stop , but she looked at me, as if she was saying: Let me go on.

"Do you still remember the story by the lake in Rizhao?"

------I remember….
The lake is surrounded by sparse trees, and the moonlight penetrates, yet it is bright.

Seeing a figure in the distance, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"City Sincere"

She turned around and looked at me, just like before, smiling like a flower.

"Cheng Jin, don't come here without any problems, I didn't expect that you are still willing to work for Lien Chan"

She was slightly surprised, mostly surprised how I would know.

"You... so you know, no wonder" she smiled: "Today, I just want to reminisce about the old days, is that okay?"

"Happy to accompany you." I smiled and walked to her side: "This lake was renamed last year. Do you know Chengjin?"

"Liuguang Lake, I heard... from my adoptive father that this was the name changed by the Empress Dowager and the Empress at that time."

"Do you know the real meaning of the word streamer"

"The real meaning?" She looked at me suspiciously.

"Liu Guang... Time flies like an arrow, we have missed too many things, Cheng Jin, do you understand?"

………….
I squatted down and picked up Qingshui: "Isn't it just a reminiscence today?"

She looked at me and smiled again. She squatted like me and filled her hands with water: "Yes...Xue Ziche! Look at the trick!"

The water in her hand was splashed towards me, and I also splashed the water in my hand towards her. We played happily, as if none of this existed.

Tired and rolled up, we sat on the shore and looked up at the bright moon.

"Xue Ziche...I'm really happy today...I rarely have time to play so cheerfully..."

"Me too"

……………..
"It would be great if you didn't marry Adan."

"En...en?" I looked at her suspiciously, but she just smiled.

…………

"Then, I can only hope that we won't meet on the battlefield, goodbye." I got up and wanted to leave.

"Xue Ziche... If, I mean if, if we can get to know each other again, I very much hope to fight side by side with you"
