Frost shines on Qingcheng

After spring, the weather gradually heats up.In the afternoon, Shen Shuangzhao, who was supposed to be deeply sleepy, sat quietly beside the desk on the second floor, reading and practicing calligraphy.After an hour, she felt tired before she put down her pen. She looked at the sparkling water in the distance and allowed herself to have this leisure time.

It's been a few days since she moved to this small building in the middle of the lake, but there is still no news from Zhang Shan.Even so, she was quite calm.Shen Shuangzhao withdrew her gaze and picked up her pen again, as if she was very sure - you will come...

That night, when Shen Shuangzhao was about to take a rest, a pigeon flew in and landed on the window sill.She went over and detached a small note from the pigeon.After reading it, with a blank expression on her face, she took down the peacock mask she brought from Qingshuang Palace from the bookshelf, changed her clothes and hurried downstairs.

At night in early summer, there was a cool breeze blowing from the lake, and Shen Shuang listened to the sounds of frogs and insects. After standing on the shore for a while, she finally untied the rope that tied the boat and boarded the boat.

She was dressed in black, with a serious and resolute face, her eyes were as deep as a pool, and she was holding a peacock mask tightly in her hand.

The two guards at the entrance of Huxin Island had already fallen asleep, Shen Shuangzhao stepped forward and squatted down, stretched out his fingers and pointed at their acupuncture points, and the two completely lost consciousness.

Shen Shuang stood up and slowly disappeared down the deep path.

------------------------------------

Lu Qingrong frowned, her head was very dizzy, even so, she still woke up from the coma.After blinking, his vision gradually became clear, and a face wearing a bewitching peacock mask appeared in front of him.Then, she watched with her own eyes the corners of the masked man's mouth curled up evilly.

"Do you know who I am?"

Lu Qingrong remained calm, she didn't wear a mask when she went out, she just wore a thin veil to cover half of her face.There was no wave in her eyes, even though she was weak at the moment, letting others tie her limbs firmly to the chair.

"In this Shuilan City, I can't think of anyone else who can set up a trap to attack me except the puppet city lord who was captured by me before." "Shen Shuangzhao, don't think that this mask can really cover up your identity."

Speaking of which, she began to regret that she didn't kill Shen Shuangzhao that day in the dungeon.Now this bastard is fine, because it is in her territory, he ordered the people in the inn to put medicine in the water she drank.And the person who is so sensitive to medicine didn't realize it for a while, and finally fell into her way.

Shen Shuangzhao clasped the left and right sides of the mask with her middle finger and thumb respectively, and she tore off the mask with her hands.She raised her eyes, and a pair of bright black eyes stared straight at Lu Qingrong.

Lu Qingrong looked at her without hesitation, but the moment his eyes met hers, his heart still trembled slightly.

Shen Shuangzhao in front of him was dressed in black, with all his hair tied behind his head, and his eyes seemed to be shining faintly like stars in the sky.She was holding a green mask in her hand, and although she had a slight smile on her face, she still looked a bit evil with malicious intentions.

Shen Shuangzhao didn't answer her words, but turned her head slightly, and said to Zhang Shan: "You did a good job. It's so late, you should go back and rest first."

Zhang Shan just looked at Lu Qingrong frowning, feeling a lot of emotion and worry in his heart, but he never said it out.Shen Shuang was very happy to take care of her, why should he spoil her rare good mood?It's just that he also feels it's unfair, why - is it still Lu Qingrong?

"This subordinate will leave first. If the city lord orders, this subordinate will be on standby at any time."

Shen Shuangzhao nodded, not wanting to waste too much time with him.

After Zhang Shan left, Shen Shuangzhao closed all the windows in this room.With her hands behind her back, she walked slowly to Lu Qingrong.

"I'm afraid you expected that I would come to you." Lu Qingrong looked at her without emotion.

"Naturally." Shen Shuangzhao nodded, reached out and took a chair and sat down beside her, "You have usurped my things for several years, and now you should return them." She leaned close to Lu Qingrong's ear, and smelled the smell of rebellion again with the tip of her nose. A long but familiar taste.

Lu Qingrong smiled charmingly, and said: "You still wear my red rope and bell on your hands, City Lord Shen, you and I should be on par in terms of forcibly taking things."

Shen Shuang shone by her ear and closed her eyes, her brows were drawn together, her lips were trembling with excitement.She was madly and greedily obsessed with this smell, and the person she had been thinking about for four years was finally close at hand again.

"What's the matter? Why didn't the city lord speak?" Lu Qingrong raised her lips, her tone full of coquettishness and banter.

Hearing what she said, Shen Shuangzhao also smiled.Lu Qingrong's tone did not change at all.She stretched out her hand and moved it vaguely around Lu Qingrong's waist: "Where is my dagger? Where is it hidden?"

Her "irregular" hands not only did not irritate Lu Qingrong, but made her smile even more. She raised her eyebrows and said, "I have long heard that Lord Shen has an unusual relationship with that Lord, and they are very fond of women." For Shangxin, now it seems that I have not wronged you." Although she said the following words casually, the irony was particularly strong.

Shen Shuangzhao could hear it naturally. She stared at Lu Qingrong and thought: If Lu Qingrong had heard about her "affairs" with other girls in the past, she would have been pinned on the bed and whipped by her. How could she be like this now? A joking look?It seems that she has completely forgotten her, and her love for her may be gone.

"The city lord is always so silent tonight. If you are distracted, I will be bored when I come from a long way." Lu Qingrong tried to poke her anger in different ways.

It's just that Shen Shuangzhao is not as impulsive and emotional as before, especially when facing Lu Qingrong, she has extraordinary patience.

"Listen well, this thing is mine." Shen Shuangzhao found the dagger from her body and waved it in front of Lu Qingrong's eyes, "So... confiscated it."

"Okay, even if what you said is true, I'll return the things to you. What about taking my things? Can you also return them to the original owners?" Lu Qingrong put away her smile and squinted at her coldly.

Shen Shuangzhao deliberately rolled up her sleeves to reveal her fair arms, and she deliberately shook it in Lu Qingrong's ear, and the bell immediately rang.She put her face in front of Lu Qingrong, their noses almost touched, she looked into Lu Qingrong's eyes, and saw a smile on her face reflected in her eyes: "Is this what Miss Lu said?"

On the contrary, Lu Qingrong was inexplicably provoked by her anger, frowned and stared at her fiercely, saying: "If you stole something from me, you should return it."

Shen Shuangzhao retracted her neck, leaned back on the back of the chair, played with the dagger in her hand, and shook her head: "Miss Lu said this... These ropes and bells were clearly given to me by Miss Lu back then, how could I be wronged for stealing them? ?”

"I'll send you off?" Lu Qingrong didn't even look at her, "The City Lord's ability to open his eyes and tell lies is very good. Stealing is stealing, and robbing is robbing. Why do you talk nonsense to justify yourself?"

Shen Shuangzhao sighed deliberately: "It's really meaningless to say these things. I almost forgot to ask Miss Lu the purpose of this trip. You know, Shahai completely broke off diplomatic relations with our city a few years ago, and the two sides have never had any contact with each other. Miss Lu As the young master of Shahai, I actually came here alone this time, so I want to know why Miss Lu is doing this."

It's clear that she gave herself a hint, but now she's pretending to be stupid here, Lu Qingrong sneered: "Shen Shuangzhao, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb. You know better than me what I'm here for."

"I heard that Miss Lu was ill before, and some things were forgotten. Don't you just want to know what is the relationship between me and you, what is in the memory you disappeared, and—" Shen Shuangzhao looked down. Dagger, "The origin of the bell and the dagger."

Lu Qingrong stared at her, but her hands tied to the chair kept struggling behind her. She didn't want to be imprisoned by this man.

"I advise you not to bother, this thing is very strong, and you have been drugged by me again, I am afraid that you have lost the strength to walk..." Shen Shuangzhao looked at her very calmly, and said, "Don't you want to know? ? Well, I'll tell you—I think you probably forgot that there is a feud between you and me that killed your father."

"What?" Lu Qingrong even forgot who Shen Shuangzhao was, how could she remember that she was Chu Xingzhi's daughter, and there was a blood feud between them.

Hearing this, Shen Shuangzhao made an extremely regretful expression: "Miss Lu really forgot... But it doesn't matter, I will seize the opportunity to get back little by little what you owe me and the hatred between you and me." Pushing Lu Qingrong's chin with his hands, he turned her face to him.

Lu Qingrong looked sideways: "You want to kill me?"

Shen Shuangzhao laughed dumbfounded, pulled out the dagger, and lifted Lu Qingrong's veil with the cold blade, then cut her hand hard, and the thin veil fell to the ground silently.

She naturally knew how important this veil was to Lu Qingrong.When he lifted her veil back then, Shen Shuangzhao still remembered her furious and distraught look.I don't know if she will still be angry after all these years.

The moment the veil fell off, a flash of astonishment and panic flashed across Lu Qingrong's face, followed by overwhelming anger, but she spoke very calmly: "Very good, Shen Shuangzhao." Her expression was firm and stern , "If you don't kill me tonight and give me a chance to escape, the next time we meet will be your death."

Shen Shuang showed a mouthful of small white teeth. In fact, after so long, she still couldn't understand why Lu Qingrong wanted to cover her face. Could it be that she was afraid that her appearance would attract the attention of passers-by?It's interesting to think about it.

After a pause, Shen Shuangzhao continued: "If I can die by your hands, I can be considered a member of the Lu family."

"Our Lu family..." Lu Qingrong wanted to refute a few words, but was forcibly interrupted by Shen Shuangzhao.

The sharpest part of the dagger in Shen Shuangzhao's hand touched Lu Qingrong's side of the face, and she said lightly: "That day in the dungeon, which side of my face did Miss Lu scratch? This side?" She thought seriously, "It seems not, It should be here, right?"

Lu Qingrong didn't speak, but felt that Shen Shuangzhao at this moment was abnormally distorted.

"You scratched my face that day. Since you want to settle the grievances, let's start with this face. I am a very fair person. As long as Miss Lu scratched me that day, I will scratch as long today. After all, it is such a beautiful face..." Shen Shuangzhao smiled, "Are you afraid? If you are afraid, just close your eyes."

Lu Qingrong pursed her lips, and just cast her eyes into the distance. There was never an iota of fear in her eyes, and she said coldly: "Shen Shuangzhao, you can still be domineering while you're at it, hurry up and swear a little longer, or wait for me... ..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Qingrong felt two pieces of cold and wet things stuck to his face.She looked sideways, and saw Shen Shuangzhao's lips kissing her cheek majestically.
