I gritted my teeth and didn't say anything. Dark Night appeared in my right hand.
"You only have one chance." Jing Yi glanced at me.”
I hesitated for a moment, then threw the sword with my right hand and took it with my left hand. At the same time, I jumped forward to attack.
The Dark Night is a short sword. It is only a foot long and slightly wide. I hide it in my sleeve all year round. The sword is just like its name, completely black. As I said, the Dark Night has a dim light that is a stark contrast to the bright light.
I would only use it when I was facing a strong enemy or when I was seeking a quick victory. Most importantly, most people who died under the Dark Night Sword would only know that the Dark Night Sword was a left-handed sword at the moment of death. The left-handed Luoying was the one who would make people tremble in fear.
His sword was very fast, and a dazzling figure could be seen in the white light. In order to subdue the enemy, I was even faster. A grey sword shadow quickly pierced through the frost. After five or six moves, I already had the momentum to suppress him. Jing Yi usually never fought with me, so I didn't have time to think about how I could suppress him so easily. I was eager for success, so I didn't even wait for ten moves. I directly used the essence of the Lanshan Sect's anti-city heaven style sword technique, repelling his sword and charging forward. He retreated. As long as he retreated, I would win.
We were already in a situation where we would definitely win. Just as I was about to let out a sigh of relief, I never expected that he would actually ignore the danger of being injured and not retreat at all. Seeing that his shoulder was about to collide with my sword, I was so scared that I instantly scattered.
I couldn't stop my momentum and only had one thought in my mind. I definitely couldn't hurt him! There was no hope of salvaging the situation, so he had no choice but to let go of Dark Night.
The good situation was ruined. I watched as the dark night streaked across Jing Yi's shoulder, leaving a trail of blood behind. He immediately reached out to grab the wound. It was as if he had already expected the wound. He didn't even look at it. He stopped his light and pointed the tip of his sword at my throat.
He was stunned for a moment. The scene that he had first met ten years ago surged into his mind. How similar was it?
Ten years had passed, but his sword was still very stable, and his figure and demeanor were no different from before. I was no longer the little girl who had almost bumped into his sword. Now, I was known by the world, and I had the ability to enter the forbidden area of the Imperial Palace. I might even defeat him. However, at this moment, the one who was panicking was still me.
" If you could stab me with that sword, I would consider keeping you by my side," Jing Yi said emotionlessly." But you can't. The situation is so easy to reverse. You already have such a big weakness. How could I dare to use you?"”
I didn't pay attention to what he said. I just looked at the bloody scar."You are injured."
He frowned slightly." Luoying, didn't you want to barge in at all costs? This is the price you have to pay.”
I was stunned when I heard that. I slowly moved my eyes away from his shoulder and met his dark eyes."You did it on purpose?"
He didn't answer, nor did he need to answer. If I still didn't understand at this point, then I wouldn't have been able to survive until today. The person in front of me was once my dream, the motivation for my growth. Today, he used facts to prove that he had become my weakness. If I followed him, I wouldn't only have to deal with his enemies, but also those who wanted to use him to deal with me. If I could easily lose once, there would be a next time.
This was a perfect flaw. There was no need to argue. I was just thinking in my heart, why, why was he such a person?
"How am I not caring about the price?”I suddenly smiled lightly," Your Majesty, you are clearly the one who wants to chase me away regardless of the price. You always say that there is a difference in status and status. Now, you are not hesitating to use yourself as bait and lower your status just to deal with me. Don't you feel that it is an insult to your status?”
I thought that even if he was so reserved that he wouldn't fly into a rage, he would at least say something contemptuous. After all, he had embarrassed me more in the past few days than in the past ten years.
However, he didn't say anything, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Suddenly, I couldn't suppress it. I hated him for scheming, hated him for not caring. I never believed that he was truly a heartless person. He only pretended not to care because of the burden that his identity had to bear. I could understand that he didn't want to be bound by emotions, but why didn't he even want to give me a place to stand by his side?
I've spent so many years trying to find a way to love him and be loved by him. If I'm wrong, it won't just be a dream that gets overturned.
No matter how painful it is, I have to confirm it.
I pushed away the light from the sword and attacked him without holding back. Jing Yi's internal energy and sword techniques were all excellent. He was definitely a top-notch expert. However, he didn't expect me to suddenly attack. After I got close to him in an instant, he couldn't use his sword and became a burden. Very quickly, I took back the dark night and pushed him against the wall. I held the sword in my left hand against his neck.
This confrontation inexplicably reminded me of the scene four years ago when Lan Shan stabbed Tang Jie's chest with her sword. My heart couldn't help but twist.
" Jing Yi," I called him by his name and looked him in the eye." I really want to know if everything around you can be used as a chess piece. If necessary, you can use anything, including yourself."”
"If that's the case, what will you be left with in the end?" So what if he owned the world? I still have nothing and I'm still alone. In what position do you blame me for having a weakness?”
He still didn't say anything, but the sudden tightening of his eyes let me know that he heard me.
I raised my sword and pointed it at the spot where I could have injured him. I smiled at him."How I wish I could be like Lanshan back then. If I love, I will love. When I hate, I will hate no matter how painful it is.”
" Unfortunately, I can't do it." I wanted to smile brightly, but I didn't know if it would make me look even more desperate." Even if you're no longer my responsibility, you're still the ruler of this world. You have the right to be cruel, but I don't.”
His gaze that was as steady as a rock was finally shaken. He sighed softly,"Luoying-"
At this moment, I heard the door open. I thought it was Fu Hongyan, but Jing Yi's sudden frown made me realize that something was wrong. A coquettish voice sounded,"Your Majesty…"
"ChenQie specially--" Qiao Xiao's beautiful voice paused for a moment, and she was quickly shocked by the scene in front of her."Assassins! Someone come quickly!"
My heart tensed up. I ignored the scream and the approaching figure. I stared at Jing Yi without moving my eyes."What do you want to say?"
I took a step closer and pulled his clothes, hoping that he would look back at me and say what he wanted to say. However, his eyes moved and his expression changed slightly. He raised his hand slightly in a slightly anxious tone."Swan Goose-"
I was stunned for a moment. With a sharp pain in my back, I understood that he probably couldn't say this sentence.
I closed my eyes slightly and froze for a moment. Fu Hongyan knew what he was doing. Perhaps he knew that I would never hurt Jing Yi. This sword was more of a warning than a restraint. It was only a shallow stab. Even so, the sword tip that contained abundant force was constantly warning me. If I acted rashly, he would not hesitate to pierce through my body.
I could already understand that Jing Yi needed someone like Fu Hongyan. He might not be the best in the world, but he was absolutely loyal and reliable. No matter who the opponent was or where the situation was, he would be able to strike decisively and steadily. Compared to him, I was indeed not suitable. I started to mix my emotions with my attacks more and more. This was fatal to those who killed.
However, my pause wasn't because I suddenly understood this, nor was it because I was afraid of the sword that had pierced my body. It was because I remembered Jing Yi's sigh after I lost the upper hand. Her expression changed slightly and she raised her hand slightly. Although it was fleeting, it was enough.
So I raised my head and smiled at Jing Yi.
" Put down the sword," Fu Hongyan said from behind me." Quick!”
I could already hear the sound of footsteps in the courtyard. The concubine at the door was still calling for people to protect the emperor. I put Dark Night in Jing Yi's hand and said to him,"I'm sorry to have troubled you again.”
Jing Yi regained her cool expression and said to the people behind me,""Swan Goose."
Fu Hongyan immediately pulled the sword away. The pain made me frown. I stopped for a moment before turning around and asking Fu Hongyan softly,"I can't leave, can I?"
He didn't say anything. He looked outside and then at Jing Yi, shaking his head helplessly.
I smiled and nodded.
When I followed Fu Hongyan out, I finally saw the woman who had suddenly broken in and destroyed everything. She was dressed in luxurious clothes and had white hair. I couldn't deny that she was quite beautiful. When I passed by her, I saw that her eyes were filled with disdain and hatred. When I looked at her carefully, I actually felt a little smug. This made me suddenly feel an uncontrollable hatred in my heart. I didn't care if her status was high or low, or what kind of status her father had. I immediately grabbed her throat and exerted strength in my hands. Her sharp voice came to a screeching halt.
Consort Hui, right? You made me fail at the last step. How can I let you remain calm and collected!# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 12PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
