Cover The Sky With One Hand, Beat The Ground With The Other

The look in Song Langsheng's eyes made me feel uncomfortable.

Of course, what puzzles me more is that he is now standing still on the bow of the ship, he is clearly fearless, how can he not be afraid of taking a boat anymore?

Not far ahead is Xipi Port with a water transportation terminal. Our boats and boats were originally scheduled to rest here. There are tea shops and restaurants along the road. When they get to the shore, the supervisors and doctors evacuated and disembarked to get familiar with each other. After hours, focus on painting the boat.

After I stepped on the shore, I looked towards the bay, and the boat Song Langsheng was sitting on also stopped. He was unobtrusive in a gray cloth, only a small bag and a sword attached to his back. He was in the dust, and almost no one noticed that he was the dynasty. Fu Ma and Dali Siqing returned so low-key, I don't know whether the prison case has been dealt with.

I was quite anxious there, hesitating to explain to him the reason for this, and I was afraid that someone next to me would notice and expose my identity, and I didn't know how to respond for a while.

While he was entangled, Song Langsheng came to face him, and after careful consideration, I threw a slightly...slightly smirk at him.

Immediately, passing by, he didn't even glance at me.

I turned around in surprise to look at his back, drumming in my heart, as if he had only looked at me just now on the boat, and then ignored it. So, this guy deliberately pretended to be a stranger when he saw me in a Confucian shirt and didn't want to expose it?

I circled around and saw all the supervising students dispersed. Lu Lingjun followed Li Dadu, Susan and the others to the nearby teahouse, so he moved away and followed Song Langsheng step by step.

Suddenly, Song Langsheng walked towards the post station ahead. I scratched my head. What is the cause of the sudden appearance of this unreliable cohort at this time? I am puzzled by all kinds of mysteries...

After making up my mind, I trot past him, turned around, stared at him and said, "Why did you come back suddenly?"

Song Langsheng paused and raised his eyebrows: "It turns out that the princess thinks that it is not time for me to come back, so please rest assured that I won't disturb your good deeds." After he said, he turned around and went straight into the station. At the stables, I stopped him and said, "Hey, I said you, do you like to leave me full of doubts and leave unhurriedly?"

Song Langsheng turned away slightly, and tied the package to one of the saddles in the pick.

I couldn't help rubbing my eyebrows, and instinctively told me that his awkward appearance must be looking for someone to compete. After thinking about it, this spearhead may be worthy of pointing to this princess.

After Song Langsheng and the people at the station were handed over, he was pulling the horse and was about to leave. I took the reins of his horse and said: "The last time has not been settled. What are you making now?"

"Last time?" Song Langsheng smiled coldly, "Is the princess looking forward to getting and leaving the book like this?"

And Li Shu? Yes, I forgot about it, and he is still brooding about it. I said: "I didn't mean it, I just..."

"I don't have the energy to waste time with the princess..."

I was annoyed, "What is wasted time? I have important things..."

"If the important thing for the princess is to talk about Fengyue with some so-called people..." Song Langsheng's eyes swept away from me, "then I have nothing to say, princess please."

After he finished speaking, he mounted his horse and waved his whip without looking back, and went away.

I can't figure out what he is thinking. I just feel that I haven't been able to see him through in the past, and now I can't understand it. No matter the past or the present, he always has the ability to stop me and **** me off.

Coming out of the post station, I was trying to find Lu Lingjun and the others. I saw Fang Yachen standing on the shore, looking at a huge ship above the deep water of the bay. It was the official ship transported by Han Fei. Next, Han Fei's red official robe was flying in the wind under the bright sun. Although I couldn't see his expression, I just thought, this kind of person doesn't know if Fang Yachen's eyes have melted into a dream that is difficult to balance.

I walked near Fang Yachen, and Han Fei seemed to have noticed us at this moment. When the two of them exchanged their eyes, I only felt that Fang Yachen's eyes were immersed in sadness.

Such a long distance is the closest moment they have been away for so many years.

I sigh in my heart that all I can do is limited to this.

When the official wheel that was mooring to the shore slowly drove away, Fang Yachen returned to the old well-like appearance of the old well. She saw that I was looking at her without saying a word, and nodded lightly as a salute, and then turned around. Away.

After many, many years, I didn't want to think back to the next scene.

As soon as he turned around, a huge explosion sounded behind him.

After a sound, it shook to the ground, and the heart trembled. The huge official ship ignited a fire after a few loud noises from the bow to the stern. It was dark and clear sky.

This unexpected scene left my mind blank. I froze and couldn't move forward. I watched the screams of the officers and men and boatmen on the huge ship, and the fire fell into the deep water. The scene is horrible.

When I regained my sanity, I subconsciously searched for Fang Yachen's figure. Everyone who came and went was confused, but seeing her rushing to the painting boat, I didn't know what I wanted to do. I followed her in fright. Fang started moving as soon as I got on the boat. When I stumbled and found someone, I saw Fang Yachen in the cabin holding a long sword towards the boatman, and ordered him to sail to the huge ship as fast as possible.

Fang Yachen's sword holding hands trembled violently, his lips turned pale, and there was a sense of determination in his eyes. I forcefully calmed down and said, "Here is me, you go to the deck to see the situation."

Fang Yachen nodded and handed the sword to me, flying away from the cabin, and seeing her leaving, I threw down the sword with a bang, and said to the boatman who made the rudder: "Don't get too close, stop after a certain distance. "

Seeing that the boatman nodded and said yes, I left the cabin and rushed to the deck to witness the tragic scene before me with Fang Yachen.

In just such a moment, the ship has been plunged into a sea of ​​fire, and we can still feel the raging heat from the fire at such a distance. Gradually, even the human voice can't be heard, except for the soft crackling between the sky and the earth. , The silence is like falling into the abyss.

Fang Yachen stared blankly, his whole body stiff, like a clay sculpture, but... no tears flowed.

I don't know how long it took, maybe just for a moment, and she smiled. The wind blowing in the distance made her robes fly, and her expression looked like a wandering ghost.

She moved forward step by step, forward, the strangeness of the scene made me deter me, I grabbed her wrist and said, "What are you doing..."

Fang Yachen did not look back, his voice erratic in the wind: "I'm going to find him."

This "he" naturally refers to Han Fei.

I choked and said, "He is dead, you can't find him."

Fang Yachen turned his head and smiled miserably, "Because he is dead, I am going to find him. I can always disguise in front of him, cry in front of him, laugh in front of him, and tell him that I love He, why don't you let me find him now?"

She made a profit, and I didn’t let it go, saying, “Because people die when they die, he can’t hear whatever you want to say. Even if you go to him now, and find him at the cost of your life, he can’t feel it anymore. ."

Fang Yachen's eyes became more and more confused. I thought, at this moment, she couldn't see the sky, the earth, and me, but could only see the fire. She lowered her head, covered her lips with her hands, and suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.

I was shocked, my eyes red, "Don't be like this... If you are sad, you can cry..."

Fang Yachen laughed bitterly, his eyes flickering, "Princess, after my father died, I have never cried for so many years, and I can't cry anymore. My heart is dead, tears are gone, have you ever Understand? Don’t ask me whether I regret it, I only know that he is dead, I can’t live, here..." She pointed to her heart, "I always dance for him, regardless of hatred or love. ."

I gradually let go of her hand. For her, following Han Fei here is the best ending.

Fang Yachen walked to the handrail tremblingly. She wanted to fall into the river, but the grief made her lose her strength, and she could hardly even turn over. She strenuously held her hands, fell several times, and climbed up several times.

Finally, once again, she did not fall into the dust, one hand held her, and one person held her tightly.

It's Han Fei.

I sighed softly, Han Fei, this one has been watching everything, watching Fang Yachen’s smile, Fang Yachen’s grief, Fang Yachen’s pain, can’t I not pretend, I can’t stand it, I can’t calm down anymore .

Han Fei encircled her trembling body in his trembling arms, and called out in a deep voice: "Yachen!"

That voice carries pain that even the earth can't carry.

Fang Yachen couldn't hear him calling her, he couldn't even feel him, he wanted to get up, repeating the same actions. She has closed the door of her heart, isolating the whole world from her own world.

The next moment, Han Fei hugged her tighter, leaned over, and kissed her.

I don't know what Fang Yachen was thinking at this time, but she gradually gave up struggling, and the corners of her eyes that were slightly opened, slowly, slowly, weeping.

The tears fell, and the knots opened.

So, what kind of pot and lid are all fixed by heaven, and they don't have a better person for each other than each other.

Fang Yachen cried for a long time, and after confirming that Han Fei in front of him was not a counterfeit, Fang asked, "How come you... didn't die?"

Han Fei said, "These... are all arranged by the princess..."

Fang Yachen looked at me dumbfounded, I glanced at Han Fei helplessly, and said: "You don't have to say half of what you said, I don't know, I thought this fire was instigated by me..."

Yesterday, he discussed with Han Fei about the transportation of grain. He was afraid that someone would block the waterway, so he planned to use the waterway. In fact, the rice grain had been scattered and transported by land, waiting to gather together. Only in this way, it is necessary to act a scene of a shipwreck. He will let people see that the food is destroyed in full view, and he will die with it.

I don't know if this is fortunate or unfortunate.

Fortunately, Han Fei made preparations and sneaked back to hide on the painted boat when the ship sailed out, so that he could escape; unfortunately, someone really wanted to destroy the freighter, leaving so many innocents. The creatures were buried in the flames.

After listening to Han Fei’s explanation, Fang Yachen couldn’t calm down for a long time. I sighed: “I brought you here on purpose to let you understand your heart and the preciousness of living people at the moment you saw him die. For this long road, no one can predict what will happen in the next moment. If you can't grasp the present moment, perhaps, you can only use the walking dead to spend this life without pleasure."

Fang Yachen listened to me silently, sighed lightly, pushed Han Fei away, and stepped back: "But if you stay with him, you can't forget the hatred and hatred of the past."

Han Fei said anxiously: "I...I will try to make you forget..."

"It's okay if you can't forget it." I said: "Someone told me before that love and hate intertwining is also a good way to get along. In short, you understand each other's feelings, and after that, you can think about it for a long time. Don't worry about it now. Do business..."

Han Fei frowned and said solemnly: "The most urgent thing is to find out who actually killed this explosion..."

He and I turned to the direction of the ship at the same time. When we couldn't understand the essentials, we suddenly heard Fang Yachen yell: "Be careful!"

I felt a strong push on my back, and my feet staggered. When I turned back, I saw Fang Yachen open his arms in front of Han Fei, and I hit an arrow on my shoulder!

In the cabin, on the stern, a dozen people rushed out like a trick, some holding a knife, some holding a bow and arrow, and in the blink of an eye, we were circled in the center.

Han Fei was very upset, took out his belt and flicked it into a soft sword, stopped in front of us, and said to the group of people, "Who is here!"

How could that group of people bother with us? Without a word, Han Fei was very superb with a sword and had the upper hand. However, outnumbered, the remaining few people approached us, Fang Yachen supported him with one hand. At the place where the shoulder was injured, blood dripped through the fingers, but she still insisted on standing in front of me, and said in my ears as thin as a silk: "His Royal Highness, if we can't hold it anymore, you will jump off."

After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to untie the hairpin on the jade crown, and pressed the mechanism, the hairpin pointed out a few inches, like a head, pointing straight at the group of people, and said awe-inspiringly: "You destroyed the ship too!"

As everyone knows, Fang Yachen took off the hairpin and his long hair fluttered in the wind. When the group of assassins saw this, someone exclaimed: "The secret report is true. There is a woman who is disguised as a man. She is Princess Xiangyi." After saying this, she mixed with Han Fei. The assassins in the battle circle also jumped out and approached here. Han Fei leaped and landed in front of us, shouting: "Are you here to assassinate the princess?"

The head of the group said concisely: "According to orders."

My thoughts fell into chaos, and there were several possibilities in my mind. I don't know who is going to kill me this time? While hesitating, there was a sudden tingling in my arm, Fang Yachen's long hairpin pierced my fleshy bones, she said viciously: "So it's you a traitor!"

I was sweating from the sharp pain, "What are you talking about?"

Fang Yachen roared: "You brought this palace on board! It was you who revealed the whereabouts of this palace to others! You...you bastard!"

Damn...what kind of mess is this now, why can't I forget it at all?

The headed assassin looked at me and said with a smile: "So you are the student of the Imperial College who works inside and out."

What should be inside and outside?

Before I could react, Han Fei glared, and the tip of the sword pierced my face. I avoided it. The assassin at the head helped me stop the sword and drew me to their side. He laughed and said, "Yours. The task has been completed, leave it to us next."

This sentence allows me to string the clues of chaos together.

Someone knew in advance that I was disguised as a man and mixed in the Imperial College, and colluded with someone from the Imperial College in an attempt to assassinate today. This group of assassins didn't know the face of Princess Xiangyi, and saw that Fang Yachen was a woman, so they believed she was a princess.

And Fang Yachen... she just guessed these things, she deliberately pretended to be me... the purpose was to get me out of danger, but she didn’t know it, but it got her into trouble... Even Han Pei would do everything and cooperate with Fang Yachen. To save my life!

These two lunatics! Why should they save me? They... don't they care about each other's lives?

My eyes were hazy, and I watched them fight with these assassins, with sword wounds in their bodies, blood flowed more and more...the two of them...clearly love each other so much, after so many experiences, finally, finally able to Let go of the previous suspicion, and finally we are about to be together... Actually for me...

What shall I do?

I looked around in confusion, I don’t know when the painting boat has floated far away from the shore, there is no one around, isolated and helpless...

etc.

At this moment, the current is heading west, so why is it going to go northward in the direction of Huafang? Is it a boatman? No, the boatman was also among the assassins...So, who is at the helm? Is it an accomplice among the assassins, or...someone else?

While thinking about it, I vaguely felt that the painting boat stopped again. Perhaps they are still fighting and it is difficult to find out. Now that they have passed a corner, the painting boat is getting faster and faster along the turbulence, and the direction at this time...could it be?

I turned around and ran to the stern, without seeing anyone. But when I looked back suddenly, I saw something flashing past the corner...

My heart throbbed.

Some people want to take advantage of the river's changes to get rid of these assassins, but... they are unwilling to stand up to save Han Fei and Fang Yachen.

But I must... keep them.

After I stepped back slowly, I slowly took off my hair bun, pretending to inadvertently, let them discover my abnormality.

There is only one way to save them.

After being repelled by Han Fei, the person in the lead suddenly caught a glimpse of my long hair and shouted, "Stop!"

Han and Fang, who were already covered in bruises, also looked over as they did, and their faces were shocked and self-evident. One of the assassins was dumbfounded: "She is not a student of the Imperial College, she is also a woman..."

"Then who is the princess?"

The headed person looked back and forth, and said grimly: "No matter who is the princess! Ning Fang, don't let it go! Kill!"

I quickly ran towards the stern, and behind me came the sound of the two Koreans and the assassin fighting hard.

There are a total of thirteen assassins, and Han and Fang have eliminated three, and there are ten left. At this time, their energy is exhausted, and if they are two to ten, there is no chance of winning. So the first step is to spread out their assassination lineup.

As for the second step...

I felt a gust of sword wind behind me. The assassin must have chased me and wanted to hit me with a single blow. I closed my eyes tightly. This second step was a bet...

With a "cang", the sound of the two blades cut through the sky, I turned my head suddenly, but saw a figure falling in front of me, arms raised flat, holding a sword, the sword was not out of its sheath, and the blue sleeves were blowing in the wind. Float gently.

The second step is to bet that he will come forward to save my life.

Nie Ran has been waiting for opportunities in the dark.

I have only known Nie Ran’s martial arts. There were far more martial arts masters killed out of the jungle that day. He resisted it for a long time with the strength of one person. Now...

The dark clouds rolled, the wind gradually rose, and Nie Ran's long sword was unsheathed, and the murderous aura was filled instantly. Although the assassin said that he was strong, but Nie Ran struck out with a sword. In a short while, several assassins all died under his sword, and one person was left behind. He blocked his mouth with sackcloth and tied him as a living mouth.

Seeing that there was no problem, I was anxious to see the situation of Han and Fang on the deck. Fang stepped out, his figure stagnated, and Nie Ran grabbed me.

He said in a deep voice, "Are you deliberately forcing me to take action?"

I asked in return: "You deliberately didn't take action, hoping that Han Fei would die from this'accident', right?"

Nie Ran said, "Why would I do this?"

"According to what I said," I said, "This monitor was reserved for you at the beginning, but the obstruction of Princess Xiangyi disrupted all your plans, so no matter who is doing today's affairs. , But it turned out to be beneficial to you... how would you like to save people?"

Nie Ran took another step forward, "Who are you..."

I did not answer him.

Nie Ran squeezed my wrist with great pain. I twisted my body and touched the wound where the hairpin pierced my arm. With a muffled grunt, Nie Ran said, "Why are you sure that I will save you?"

I watched him: "You owe me a life, and you want to separate from me so much. You will definitely pay this life."

Nie Ran smiled coldly. I couldn't understand the meaning of the smile. When he slowly let go, I was about to turn around to look for Han and Fang. I felt that the boat shook violently, and the whole person hit the handrail and the golden hairpin fell again. An inch, trembling in pain. Nie Ran stepped forward to help me, glanced at the golden hairpin, and said, "It must be pulled out."

Before I could answer, he directly took the hairpin handle and pulled it out. I shivered, and the wound on my arm was suddenly empty.

Nie Ran simply tore off the material and bandaged it for me, and said, "You are stiff, you can bear this kind of pain without saying a word."

I have experienced the pain of gouging my heart, and that's nothing.

I propped up and wanted to get up, and the painting boat shook again, the soles of my feet were cold, water seeped through the shoes and socks, Nie Ranlin said, "The boat is sinking."

When the voice fell, I felt the painting boat go down and down, and at a very fast speed, I frowned, "They destroyed the boat?"

Nie Ran said: "The water flows to the north, and there is a shore in the north. As long as you keep a breath in the water, you will have vitality."

I asked: "It was you who was at the helm of the cabin just now?"

Nie Ran nodded slightly, took me to the stern and said, "Don't worry, this time, I won't leave you behind."

The expression on Nie Ran’s face and eyes changed. He had never seen it before. It was different from that time when he took care of Zhao Yanran. It was also different from Xu Fang’s thoughtfulness, a faint domineering in the air, but, Obviously they are completely different two people, but the gentle and sure voice sounded in their ears: Don't be afraid, I will be with you, gentle.

I shook my head, putting aside the chaotic thoughts, and only said: "Han Fei and Fang Yachen..."

Nie Ran said, "If they can't save themselves, neither you nor I can save them."

When the voice fell, the painting boat sank to the bottom of the water. Nie Ran grabbed my waist and took a deep breath. The next moment, I only felt that I was buried in the cold deep water, and the impact of the waves was shocking. His head was dizzy, and his legs were so stiff that he couldn't listen.

Fear and helplessness flooded all over the body, and the situation of not daring to recall but dreaming back at midnight resurfaced, overlapping and intertwined with this moment...

"The girl knows her life is unsafe, so she is thinking about La Yanran's funeral? She is really a snake-hearted!"

"I am saving you for Yanran's sake."

"The person I like is called Xu Fang."

I opened my eyes suddenly, Nie Ran had already clung to the long trunk of a tree on the cliff downstream with one hand, and held my arm tightly with the other. Seeing that the branch was about to break, he didn't let go, he said to me with difficulty. : "Just take a breath! You can get close to the shore just a while away!"

My heart warmed imperceptibly, and tears were almost coming to my eyes.

This time, maybe he was really protecting me...

A flash of cold light flashed past, and a "hiss" sound was the sound of a knife cutting the flesh.

I don’t know how the tied assassin untied the rope and escaped. I don’t know why he floated here, but when I saw the sword cut through the hand that Nie Ran was holding on to me, and the blood splashed, I knew it. Once, he still failed to catch me after all.

The terrible fate is that no matter how hard you struggle, how you try to change, the ending is doomed.

I couldn't breathe, and even the strength to open my eyes disappeared. I thought, this time there should be no genius doctor Zhou who can save my life.

As my consciousness gradually detached from this body, I felt a soft warmth covering my lips.

A breath poured into the body along my lips, and I subconsciously took a deep breath, and it was no longer a suffocating stream of water.

who is it?

I lifted my eyelids laboriously.

Close at hand were a pair of closed eyes, and I saw the man's long eyebrows.

The waves of the water blurred this man's appearance, and the squishy lips made me inseparable from him, and I couldn't see him clearly.

The heart is beating restlessly, that feeling... so familiar...

It's like seeing the maple leaf that time...and the figure at the wedding banquet...

After he moved his lips away, I finally saw his face in the water.

It was... Song Langsheng.
