Anthology of Gu Long: End of the World, Bright Moon, Knife

Chapter 9 Peacock (2)
Thumb was still laughing, quietly sat down on the chair beside the bed, and said with a smile: "I knew you must have a way to lure them out, and you have never failed in what you do."

Peacock said indifferently: "Did you see them?"

Thumb nodded, and said, "The female is Ming Yuexin, and the male is Fu Hongxue."

Fu Hongxue!
Peacock's hand clenched again.

He had heard the name, knew this person, and even more so, the knife in this person's hand!

The unparalleled sharp knife in the world!

Thumb said: "Yan Nanfei can still live until now because of Fu Hongxue, so..."

Peacock suddenly jumped up and said, "So if you want to kill Yan Nanfei, you must kill Fu Hongxue first!"

His face was flushed with excitement, even his eyes were flushed.

Thumb looked at him in amazement. No one had ever seen him so excited.

——The calm peacock, the ordinary peacock, the nameless peacock, the murderous peacock.

Thumb tentatively asked, "You really want to kill Fu Hongxue?"

Peacock smiled, and said flatly: "I have always liked to kill people, and Fu Hongxue is also a human being."

Thumb said: "But he is not an ordinary person. It is not easy to kill him."

Peacock said: "I know, so I don't want to do it myself."

Thumb said: "If you don't move, who else would dare to move?"

Peacock smiled again, and said, "I'm not moving, just because I'm not a celebrity, and I don't want to be famous."

Thumb also smiled, squinting his eyes and smiling: "You want to tell Du Lei to go all out first, so that you can pick up the bargain later?"

Peacock said leisurely: "No matter who dies at whose hands, at least I won't feel bad."

Ming Yuexin was very uncomfortable, as uncomfortable as a snail that had been hiding in its shell for a long time and hadn't come out to bask in the sun.

The mask she wore on her face was bought during the court meeting last year. Although it was very delicate, her face would still itch after wearing it for too long.

Once the face itches, the whole body will not feel too comfortable.

But she didn't want to take off this mask, and now she seemed to be very afraid of letting Fu Hongxue see her face.

This is a very delicate feeling, not only can she not tell it apart, she doesn't even want to think about it.

When they walked in, the setting sun was shining on the roses in front of the window, and the roses after the rain were more colorful.

Yan Nanfei's face was as pale as paper.

"Has Mr. Yan woke up?"

"No." The girl with big eyes was still standing by Yan Nanfei's side.

"Did you feed him medicine?"

"No." The little girl pursed her lips and suppressed her smile, "I wouldn't even dare to touch him without the girl's orders."

"why?"

"Because..." The little girl finally couldn't help laughing, "Because I'm afraid the girl will be jealous!"

Ming Yuexin glared at her fiercely, then turned to Fu Hongxue and asked, "Is it time to take medicine now?"

Facing the window, Fu Hongxue nodded slowly.

The setting sun fills the windows.

The window paper was newly pasted, and the window frame was newly painted, as bright as a mirror.

The two windows are erected obliquely, the lower wooden frame reflects a patch of roses, and the upper wooden frame reflects the reflection of the room—the shadow of the little girl and the bright moon heart.

Ming Yuexin was standing at the head of the bed, holding a small bottle of antidote in her hand, poured out a medicine, and dissolved it with warm water.

She was very careful in every move, as if she was afraid that the medicine in the spoon might splash a little, weakening the potency of the medicine.

But she didn't give Yan Nanfei this spoonful of medicine!
Fu Hongxue still turned her back to them, she glanced at him quietly, and suddenly poured a spoonful of medicine into the little girl's sleeve, then helped Yan Nanfei up, and handed the empty spoon to his mouth.

What does it mean?
The reason she came to Fu Hongxue was to save Yan Nanfei, but an empty spoon couldn't save anyone.

Fu Hongxue still stood there quietly.

Although he didn't look back, the window frame in front of him was as bright as a mirror, and he should have seen her every move clearly.

But he didn't even react at all.

Ming Yuexin glanced at him quietly again, then slowly put Yan Nanfei down, and muttered: "After taking the medicine this time, and sleep well, I think he should wake up tomorrow morning."

In fact, she knew in her heart that he would never wake up.

Although she was sighing, there was a treacherous smile in those bright moon-like eyes.

At this moment, someone outside the door suddenly said: "Fu Daxia has faith."

Envelopes and letter paper are the most expensive ones available on the market!
The letter was short and neatly written:

"Tomorrow afternoon, Ni's abandoned garden, outside the Liujiao Pavilion, bring your knife! One person, one knife!"

Fu Hongxue almost didn't need to look at the signature below to know that this letter must have been written by Du Lei.

He could see that Du Lei was a very regular person who liked to show off extravagantly.

He was right.

Ming Yuexin let out a long breath and said, "I knew Du Lei would definitely find you, but I never thought he would come so soon!"

Fu Hongxue folded the letter with one hand that was not holding a knife, and then asked, "Where is the abandoned garden of the Ni family?"

Mingyue Xin said: "It's on the opposite side."

Fu Hongxue said, "Very good."

Mingyue Xin said: "Very good?"

Fu Hongxue said coldly: "I'm a cripple, I don't like to go too far before the final battle!"

Mingyue Xin said: "Are you going?"

Fu Hongxue said, "Of course."

Mingyue Xin said: "Go alone?"

Fu Hongxue said: "One person, one knife!"

Ming Yuexin suddenly sneered and said, "Very good, very good!"

This was a sentence that was difficult for people to understand, and her sneer was also very strange. Fu Hongxue didn't understand it either, but she didn't ask.

Mingyue Xin said: "Tonight, you can have a good night's sleep. After breakfast tomorrow, you only need to walk a few steps and you will arrive at the abandoned garden of the Ni family. There must be enough time. Go and see the terrain there first."

The masters compete and occupy the land first, which is also an important key to determine the outcome.

Mingyue Xin said: "You have observed clearly what kind of person Du Lei is, but he doesn't understand you at all."

Knowing yourself and the enemy is of course more important than occupying the land first.

Mingyue Xin said: "So you really took the lead in this battle, as soon as you draw your sword, there will only be twelve people left on the celebrity list, even if you don't like killing people very much, This should be considered a very pleasant thing!"

She suddenly sneered again, and said loudly, "But what about Yan Nanfei? Have you thought of him?"

Fu Hongxue said flatly: "The one who is going to duel is not him."

Mingyue Xin said: "The one who is going to die must be him!"

Fu Hongxue said, "Definitely?"

Mingyue Xin said: "The Peacock and Thumb must have known his whereabouts by now, as long as you walk into the abandoned garden of the Ni family, they will break into this house."

Fu Hongxue clenched his hands tightly again, and the blue veins drew vein-like stripes on the back of his pale hands.

Ming Yuexin stared at him coldly, then continued coldly: "Maybe you saved his life before, but this time without you, he might live longer instead."

The veins on the back of Fu Hongxue's hands protruded even more, and he suddenly asked something that shouldn't be asked: "Do you really care about him?"

Mingyue Xin said: "Of course."

Without even thinking about it, she answered immediately, very calmly.

The person who poured a spoonful of the life-saving antidote into the little girl's sleeve just now seemed to have nothing to do with her.

Fu Hongxue didn't look at the expression on her face, even if he wanted to, he couldn't see it.

She still wears that smiling mask on her face.

What kind of woman is hidden under this mask?
After a long time, Fu Hongxue said slowly, "Shouldn't I go?"

Mingyue Xin said: "Of course I should go."

Fu Hongxue said: "But..."

Ming Yuexin interrupted him, saying: "But before you go, you should send him to a safe place first."

Fu Hongxue said, "Which place is safe?"

Mingyue Xin said: "Peacock Villa!"

——There is absolutely no hidden weapon in the world that anyone can dodge.

—a light more brilliant and beautiful than a rainbow.

Fu Hongxue let out a breath slowly, and said, "You said that Peacock Ling is no longer in Peacock Villa."

Mingyue Xin said: "Not bad."

Fu Hongxue said: "Then, what else does Peacock Villa have now?"

Mingyue Xin said: "There is still Qiu Shui Qing."

—a tall, silent man.

—a distinguished name.

Ming Yuexin said: "Although he has always been very conservative, he will never refuse the person you send!"

Fu Hongxue said, "Oh?"

Mingyue Xin said: "Because he owes you!"

Fu Hongxue said, "What do you owe me?"

Mingyue Xin said: "I owe you my life."

She didn't let Fu Hongxue deny it, and continued: "Although you seldom save people, you have saved him, and you have saved him twice, once on the bank of the Wei River, and once on the shadow of Mount Tai."

Fu Hongxue couldn't deny it, because she knew too much.

Mingyue Xin said: "Now he is the owner of Peacock Villa, and he has enough strength to pay off the debt."

Fu Hongxue said: "But he no longer has peacock feathers."

——If Peacock Ling didn't exist, Peacock Villa would also be destroyed immediately!
Mingyue Xin said: "Everyone has always believed that the foundation of Peacock Villa is entirely built on Peacock Ling. Until now, everyone knows that Qiu Shuiqing is far more terrifying than Peacock Ling."

Fu Hongxue said, "Why?"

Mingyue Xin said: "The Peacock Ling has fallen into the hands of the foreigner. The news spread quickly in the Jianghu, but there are many enemies in the Peacock Villa. In the past two years, at least six groups of people have attacked the Peacock Villa."

She continued slowly: "There are a total of 79 people in these six groups, and everyone is a top-notch expert."

Fu Hongxue: "The result?"

Mingyue Xin said: "Once these 79 masters entered the Peacock Villa, it was as if they had disappeared into the sea, and there was no news at all."

Fu Hongxue closed his mouth.

Mingyue Xin said: "The last group of people went during the Double Ninth Festival last year. Since that time, no one in the rivers and lakes has dared to take a step into Peacock Villa again."

Fu Hongxue still kept his mouth shut.

Ming Yuexin glanced at him out of the corner of her eyes, and said: "Peacock Villa is not far from here, we will go there quickly, and we will definitely be back before noon tomorrow."

Fu Hongxue neither agreed nor refused. After a long time, he suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid they will intercept you on the road?"

Mingyue Xin said: "Who in the Jianghu can stop you?"

Fu Hongxue said, "At least one person."

Mingyue Xin said: "Who?"

Fu Hongxue said: "A peacock with peacock feathers."

Mingyue Xin said: "He will never dare to make a move!"

Fu Hongxue said, "Why?"

Mingyue Xin said: "Although Peacock Ling is an unparalleled hidden weapon, he is not an unparalleled master. He is afraid that your sword will be faster than his!"

No matter how terrifying a hidden weapon is, if it cannot be used, it is just a piece of scrap iron.

Fu Hongxue closed his mouth again.

Mingyue Xin said: "If you really don't want him to die at the hands of others, you should take us there now."

Fu Hongxue finally made up his mind and said, "I can take you there, but I have something to ask you."

Mingyue Xin said: "Just ask."

Fu Hongxue said coldly: "If you really care about him, why would you pour his antidote into someone else's sleeve?"

After asking this question, he walked out without looking back, as if he had already calculated that Ming Yuexin could not answer this question.

Ming Yuexin was really stunned.

She really couldn't answer, and didn't want to answer.

She could only watch helplessly as Fu Hongxue walked out. Although he walked slowly, he did not stop.

Once he starts walking, he never stops.

The setting sun gradually faded, as light as the moon.

The faint setting sun was shining on Yan Nanfei's face.

The wind blows from the distant mountains, carrying the fragrance of the leaves, from where Ming Yuexin stands, one can see the green distant mountains.

But she was looking at Yan Nanfei.

Yan Nanfei, who was already in a coma after being deeply poisoned, opened his eyes and looked at her.

She was not surprised at all.

Yan Nanfei suddenly smiled, and said, "I said it, I said it a long time ago, it's not easy to lie to him."

Mingyue Xin said: "I know it's not easy, but I must give it a try."

Yan Nanfei said, "Have you tried it now?"

Mingyue Xin said: "I tried."

Yan Nanfei said, "What do you think?"

Ming Yuexin sighed softly, smiled wryly and said, "I just think it's not easy to lie to him."

Yan Nanfei said: "But I still have to try!"

Ming Yuexin's eyes lit up, and Yan Nanfei's eyes were also shining.

Why did they want to deceive Fu Hongxue?
What is their purpose?
sunset.

Fu Hongxue under the setting sun.

He was the only one under the setting sun, and he seemed to be the only one left in the world.

He was utterly alone.
