A loud noise came from mid-air, and the aftermath was not only deafening, everyone was affected by the turbulent airflow and their feet were unstable. What's more, the breath was disordered and a fishy sweetness rose from their throats.Cheng Yiliu vomited a puddle of blood, Cheng Hao helped him sit cross-legged to help him adjust his breath, the smoke was too heavy Cheng Hao stared at the front for a moment, his breathing stagnated and his chest was noisy.

Before the smoke and dust cleared, everyone didn't know the situation, and saw a ray of light rushing up to the sky and piercing the darkness. Cheng Hao felt bad, and Cheng Yiliu, who was adjusting his breath, fled in a hurry. , the Black Feather team has come from behind them.

The smoke and dust dissipated, leaving only the beautiful green shirts and unstained white clothes.

There were a few crowing sounds from the east, and the candles in Rong Cheng's room were re-lit, and the candlelight filled the room with brilliance. "Come here, take a bath." The maid helped her up, and the jade pendant on the couch was still lying quietly after she left.

After the hard fight, Rong Che only felt exhausted and his hands were still trembling slightly hidden in his sleeves. Bai Qingtong supported her body with Changyue, and her eyes could no longer see normally. She had never experienced such a long hard fight, although she was exhausted But hearty.She gave a weak smile and said, "A narrow victory."

It was a narrow victory. After several hours of fighting, the two sides were evenly matched and stalemate. Although their bodies had reached their limits, neither of them dared to neglect. They knew each other well, and if this continued, the three of them would eventually die of exhaustion.Fortunately, Rong Che found that whenever she merged with Bai Qingtong's internal energy, Wei Ruhai's aura would become disordered due to the suppression of this pure internal energy. She guessed that this was related to the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the formula of two lives, so she came up with a plan.

She also pointed out that the fingertips that gathered internal energy were injected into Wei Ruhai's Yintang, Baihui and Taiyang three points. Needless to say, Bai Qingtong also thought of a way to defeat the enemy and coincided with her. She poured internal energy into Wei Ruhai's Lingxu, Lingxu, Central point two.Wei Ruhai wrongly practiced the formula of two lives, so that Ren Du's internal energy could not flow freely throughout his body. His frenzied internal energy was already like a trapped animal. Once an external force rushed in and opened the pulse door, he would howl and rush out of the body.

Wei Ruhai blew himself up to death due to internal force swelling, and his body shattered to the ground. The battle of the Black Feather Squad gradually ceased. Except for Cheng Hao and Cheng Yiliu who escaped by chance, the rest of the sects were wiped out. It seemed that Jianghu disappeared overnight.Thick clouds, bloody wind, a heavy snow fell in a hurry, covering the corpses in an attempt to whitewash the killing.

Rong Che ordered the city defense battalion to arrest Cheng Hao and Cheng Yiliu throughout the city. Li Yi put up portraits of the two of them all over the city overnight. Wei Changdong commanded the Black Feather Team to confiscate Jianjian Villa and other sects involved in this matter in the city, causing riots in the city for a while There was a lot of buzz.Seeing this battle, Bai Qingtong secretly rejoiced that the Baihua Palace was closed, so it was saved from serious damage.

The next day, the sun was thin and cold, Rong Cheng was wrapped in a thick sable fur and hugged a small heater, and walked slowly towards Xiyuan.There was a long row of footprints behind her, one deep and one shallow, quietly standing outside the moon gate to greet her, when she approached and helped her, Rong Cheng asked, "Is the girl awake?"

"Master, the girl has had her breakfast."

"How is your body?"

"Back to the young master, the girl's face is not very good, because she was tired last night and is currently adjusting her breathing in the room."

Rong Cheng stopped in his slow steps and asked, "How long has it been?"

"Back to your son, just now."

Rong Cheng nodded and walked out of the Moon Gate, "You take care of the girl, I'll come see her later." Jing Hao promised to watch her leave, long footprints on the snow suddenly turned to the left, then It was the small courtyard where Rong Che lived temporarily, and there were people waiting outside the door. Seeing her go over, she hurriedly went up to salute.

"Son."

"What is the princess doing now?"

"Back to the son, the princess is adjusting his breath."

"Ah."

She walked slowly to Rong Che's door without stopping, pushed the door open, and when Rong Che heard the conversation outside the door, he withdrew his inner strength and waited for her to walk in.Rong Che glimpsed that the corners of her clothes were wet with snow, leaving dark traces, and saw her turn on the hand stove and stir the charcoal fire inside, with a calm expression.She kept silent, Rong Cheng focused on the matter at hand, Rong Che got up and walked to the table and sat down.

It took Rong Cheng a long time to break the silence, "Is the breakfast okay?"

"The cook in front of my cousin is naturally not bad."

"You." A smile appeared on Rong Cheng's face, "Ache, His Majesty ordered you to return to Beijing immediately, Wei Changdong should be here soon."

"Wei Guogong just arrived in the capital and heard that the eldest son of the Wei family followed me to swim in the muddy water. I am afraid that he will be angry and can't explode at the moment. The only way to relieve the hatred is to visit my book before His Majesty."

Rong Cheng smiled and said, "After all, you are also the future daughter-in-law of the Wei family, so why use the tricks of the court."

Rong Che glanced at her very indifferently, and said unhurriedly, "If my cousin has a sweetheart, why don't you ask His Majesty to marry you?"

Without waiting for Rong Cheng to turn his lips back, a maid said outside the door, "Young Master Wei, please have a meeting with Princess Qingping in the front hall, saying that there is something important to discuss." Rong Cheng's exquisite eyebrows stretched out, with a joyful expression, she walked slowly to the door without forgetting He said, "You don't mind waiting an extra day if you are seriously injured. If you want to go back to Beijing, it's better to start tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he stepped out of the door.

Seeing Rong Che come in, Wei Changdong said, "I have already asked people to prepare to leave for Beijing tomorrow. The eldest princess was secretly taken into the palace by King Changning and Taichang Siqing three days ago, and she temporarily lives in Linhua Hall."

"The Linhua Palace is originally the palace of the East Palace, and the imperial sister should live there." Naturally, he doesn't know much about the news in the capital. Your Majesty is concerned."

"The date for the canonization of the crown prince has been fixed. My father told you and me to return to the capital as soon as possible. I think there is also His Majesty's intention in this."

Rong Che nodded, showing no emotion.A maid outside the door led a young man passing by. The young man was frail and thinly clothed, and his eyes glanced at her inadvertently, but he didn't look away when he made eye contact.It was a pair of melancholy and painful eyes, eyes completely unfamiliar to her.

"Ache, who was that boy just now?" Wei Changdong also spotted this boy.

Rong Che shook his head and called, "Come here." The guard waiting outside the door walked in, and she asked, "Who is that boy?"

"I'm reporting to the princess, that it's Lin Beichuan, the orphan of the Lin family in Hexi, who has nowhere to go and joins you, Young Master."

Rong Che waved away the guards without saying a word. She remembered that Rong Cheng happened to save Lin Beichuan on the way here, and she also remembered that she almost killed the boy unintentionally.Her brows raised unconsciously. She didn't like the maturity of this young man who didn't match his age, and those lifeless eyes.

"Changdong, if you have nothing else to do, you can go back first."

Wei Changdong just stared at her and said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Rong Che stepped out of the front hall with a nod, and walked in the direction of Xiyuan, and Rong Cheng happened to be here at the moment, the guards saw her approaching and went to report to the room first, and Rong Cheng waited for her leisurely when he entered.

Rong Cheng asked with a smile, "Come here because of Lin Beichuan?"

Rong Che glanced at her very indifferently, but said to Bai Qingtong, "Miss Bai, your cousin's safety is temporarily on your shoulders, please protect me with all your strength." Yu Rongcheng said, "I will return to Beijing immediately tomorrow. Xia Feng and Jing Yu are not with my cousin, so my cousin should be more careful on the way back."

"I wanted to go back with you. Firstly, I still have some things to do. Secondly, Qingtong and I still need some time to recuperate. If His Majesty didn't call you back, I would like you to stay longer."

"There is still more than a month left before the canonization date, and my cousin has to go back as soon as possible."

"Father also sent a letter asking me to go back as soon as possible." Rong Cheng smiled like a spring breeze, "Ah Che is so worried about my safety, but it is not in vain to love you for so many years."

Rong Che said calmly, "Thank you cousin for your kindness."

"Ache, you only call me cousin all day long, but I'm only half a year older than you, and my brothers and sisters are younger than me by how many years, they all call me Ah Cheng, why don't you listen to them like that Also affectionate."

Rong Che replied unhurriedly, "On the day when I'm a freshman, I should honorably call her sister."

"Ah Che is stubborn. Since you were a child, you have always given the same answer to change your mouth. You should come up with a new way of saying it and let me hear it."

"Ah Che thinks that the cousin is weak and don't bother too much about this matter." She got up and said, "I'll take my leave first."

Rong Cheng hurriedly said, "You didn't regain your vitality after a long battle last night, so don't practice swordsmanship today. Not practicing swordsmanship for once will not hurt you, the most important thing is your body."

"I'm used to it." I don't know how long it took to form a habit, and Rong Che is not bad day after day.

Rong Cheng's eyes dimmed, as if there was a sigh but it was not real.When they were children, they lived together in the cold palace. Once they sneaked away to explore the imperial garden with the nuns on their backs. When they drilled into the rockery, Rong Che was frightened and cried by the strange rock. Ling ran back when she heard the crying, and beat her up indiscriminately, and she also cried out of grievance. At that time, Rong Che timidly pulled the hem of her clothes with his teary eyes open to comfort her.

"When I was young." Rong Cheng chewed these three words repeatedly at the corner of his mouth, with a slightly dazed look on his face.

"How?" She didn't expect Bai Qingtong, who had always been silent, to speak. Since she came from Rong Che's room, they only exchanged a few words of greeting and then treated each other in silence.

She smiled, she was very beautiful, and her voice was pleasant, "When I was young, my sister Huang and I loved Ah Che very much. When Ah Che was young, she was pink and cute and loved to cry. Whenever she cried, there was nothing I could do, and my sister Huang would bully her." I came to make Ah Che happy. At that time, I saw my father complaining to him, but my father told me helplessly that the imperial sister is a princess and I am just a princess. It’s unreasonable and really annoying.”

"My son and Princess Qingping are indeed sisters."

"It's just that when we grow up, we have more and more things to do and more and more responsibilities. One person only has so much energy, and we can't tell the excess, so we gradually become alienated."

"But in Qingtong's view, the relationship between the young master and the princess is still enviable."

"Qingtong also knows how to comfort people's hearts." Rong Cheng joked, and his smile deepened, "Everyone is born but different and everyone has insufficient desires. Qingtong's words are right and I should be content."

"Young master." A maid called outside the door, "Mr. Lin, please see me."

"Please come in."

"Yes."

Rong Cheng sat upright, unmoved by the wind.When Lin Beichuan came in, he cupped his fists first and saluted, Rong Cheng returned the politeness, and she said, "If Mr. Lin is short of something, just tell the servants."

"Young master is lucky to take you in. Beichuan doesn't dare to ask for extravagance." He lifted up his robe and knelt down, bowed his head, his voice hit the floor, and there was a muffled voice, "Now that Beichuan is homeless, Thanks to the help of the young master many times, Beichuan is willing to follow the young master and swear allegiance to the death, and ask the young master to agree."

"You are the young master of the Lin Family in Hexi, and you should spend your entire life to revive your family. Don't you feel wronged why you are willing to serve others?"

"Under a full nest, how can there be any eggs."

Lin Beichuan's implication was so clear that Bai Qingtong couldn't help but look at the boy who bowed his head on the ground. He was only twelve or thirteen years old, but he was so smooth and transparent. Come to remind her to be wary of this person.

"The chaos in the rivers and lakes is a good time to rise. Mr. Lin, you shouldn't be so short-sighted after you are a famous family. Although the rivers and lakes were severely damaged overnight, the rivers and lakes are still there."

For a long time, Lin Beichuan just knelt on the ground stiffly, not saying a word, Rong Cheng's gaze was like a heavy weight on his back, making it difficult for him to move, he just lay on his stomach with his eyes closed.

"Forget it, since that's what you want, I'll keep you for a few days, and let you go when you think it through."

"Thank you for your success, my lord." Lin Beichuan kowtowed and stood up, bowing his head, "If you didn't tell Beichuan, you will be guarding outside."

Rong Cheng said calmly, "It's getting late, go back and rest for now, come back tomorrow."

"Yes, young master." Lin Beichuan's respect was imperceptibly numb. The young man gradually became numb after experiencing ups and downs. Lin Beichuan of Hexi Lin's family seemed to be him in his previous life, distant and strange.

Winter mornings are always lazy, even the dust hiding in the sun is more comfortable than usual, Wei Changdong is already waiting outside the brand new vermilion gate, when Rong Che goes to Rong Cheng's room to say goodbye, Rong Cheng is only in his unlined clothes. Wrapped in a sable fur, he was next to the smoker to keep warm.

Rong Che said calmly, "Cousin, take care of yourself."

Rong Cheng replied with a smile, "Ah Che, be careful all the way."

The two said some farewell instructions, and Rong Che took his leave and left. The horse outside the door spewed out a large cloud of white smoke impatiently. Rong Che turned on the horse and tightened the reins, comforting the horse and sitting down.Wei Changdong flicked his whip and the steed neighed in the sky, and galloped eastward, followed by the Black Feather team.

The morning sun rose quietly in the distance, and a burst of warmth caressed Rong Che's cheeks, trying his best to outline Shuyan. Her brows were delicate and gentle, but the corners of her lips were tightly pursed, making her outline sassy and stable.Fast horse all the way to the east, you can return to Beijing in a few days.

As the weather gets colder, the body becomes more exhausted. Rong Cheng doesn't have a restless schedule like Rong Che's. He sleeps until the sun is high before lazily getting up to wash up. After washing hands here, the maids on the other side file in with a food table. The exquisite dishes are paired with a pot. Warm liqueur, bowls and chopsticks are patterned with cold plums bathing in snow, which is very suitable for the occasion.

"Go invite Miss Bai over for dinner."

"Sir, Miss Bai finished her meal early in the morning, do you still need to invite her?"

It was only then that Rong Cheng remembered that it was already past the meal time, so he took up his chopsticks and began to eat, the ivory chopsticks would inevitably make a sound when they touched the bowls and plates, but it was very crisp and pleasant, and the room was sunny and very pleasant.

A maid outside the door said, "My lord, Li Yi, the commander of the city defense battalion, is asking to see Princess Qingping."

"Ask him what's the matter?"

"Report to my son, saying that the thief from Jianjian Villa has not been caught yet, so I come to ask the princess to punish him."

"Go and tell him to keep the gates of the city under martial law, send more people to check the surrounding areas carefully, and tell him that Princess Qingping has left for Beijing today so that he doesn't have to come back in the future."

"Yes."

Lin Beichuan's eyes followed the maid's back. He had guarded outside Rong Cheng's door early in the morning, motionless like a competent guard in the cold, only frowning when he heard the conversation just now.When the figure of the maid was out of sight, he stared blankly at the stone slab under his feet, listening carefully to the movement in the room.
