Bird Reimu Dance · Returning Night

The gun, it was a cold iron Shura spear that had made countless people fearful. The mottled tip of the gun glared dazzlingly under the side of the sun, but now it stabbed at the unarmed woman head-on like a tiger like a dragon.

The west wind was suddenly strong, and the birds flew away.But in an instant, I saw the Queen Mother Leng standing there in a daze, not dodging or evading, and instead of showing a trace of panic on her face, there was a bewildered expression that I couldn't even describe when I saw her, staring obsessively at her. The murderous assassin wearing a silver mask in front of her stared at the spear in her hand that was getting closer and closer to her.It's like dreaming.

"Queen!" The emperor hurriedly rode his horse and galloped towards her.

"Master! Don't!!" And I was so frightened that I was almost out of my wits, my mind blankly hissed at the back of the gun-wielding figure, and jumped onto the high platform again like crazy, reaching out desperately but in vain to grab that cold-hearted man. back view.

At that moment, I only hated Lu Chang!

'嗖——' The rapid sound of arrows suddenly sounded in the air, and a sharp arrow was shot from nowhere, passing by my ear, and hitting the shoulder of that figure from behind.

My voice stopped abruptly, and I staggered and turned around, only to see a man in a purple robe sitting on horseback at the entrance of the shooting field, straddling the horseback and drawing the bow very quickly, and then shot the arrow without blinking. go out.

The assassin let out a muffled grunt, was hit in the back, fell to the ground, and spat out blood, but the next moment he seemed to be going crazy, he stood up again holding the gun, and approached the Queen Mother Leng step by step.

At this time, Wei Xinyue had already rushed to the Empress Dowager and Murong Ling, she looked at the assassin in disbelief, her pale lips were almost transparent, trembling, she couldn't utter a word.

The assassin suddenly raised his gun, gritted his teeth with a sharp smile in his throat, and said, "Leng Lange...I'm going to kill you...kill you..."

I lunged forward, hugged her by the waist behind her, knelt on the ground and cried cowardly, "Master, are you crazy?! How could you kill her... how could you kill her?!"

"Let go, let me go!" But she slammed at me with the end of the gun, and I was so painful that I couldn't even cry out.

I was obviously terrified in my heart, and my calves were trembling, but I still clenched my bloody teeth and clasped her waist tightly with all my strength, preventing her from taking another step forward.

With the sound of horseshoes approaching, more than a dozen guards jumped off, rushed over quickly and pulled me away, grabbed the spear from her hand, and subdued her.

"Don't..." I saw them violently kick the injured her to the ground, put on a heavy iron chain, and struggled to stop her, but in the panic, someone swung her head hard with the handle of a knife, and she fell headfirst. fell to the ground.Immediately, there was a buzzing in my head, the world seemed to be turned upside down, and I vaguely heard someone whispering, "My minister Shen Xu came late for rescue, which frightened the empress and the princess!"

At this time, the emperor also stepped onto the high platform, snatched a knife from a guard, and came striding angrily.

I stood up top-heavy, and then almost instinctively opened my arms in front of the master to keep the emperor away.

"Don't get in the way!" The emperor stared at me, who was staggering, with red eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'm going to kill this traitor who dares to hurt my mother!"

"No...no..." I stared at him dazedly, and said vaguely.

"I'll say it for the last time, get out!" The emperor suddenly raised his voice, and the temperature around him suddenly cooled down.

But I didn't know what kind of evil I was falling into. Instead, under the mighty power of the Son of Heaven, I went all out, and slowly straightened my back.

The emperor narrowed his eyes coldly, kicked me to the ground suddenly, and then raised the iron blade towards me, and I closed my eyes involuntarily.

"Enough." A cold voice sounded.

I opened my eyes suddenly, and a frail figure stood in front of me, standing still.

"Your Majesty! Empress Dowager! A sword has no eyes, and it must hurt your body!" The purple-robed minister stepped forward with trepidation, and it turned out that he was Shen Xu.He stretched out his hand as if to take the opportunity to pull the Queen Mother away, but before he touched the corner of her clothes, he silently withdrew his hand under the cold and fierce eyes of the Queen Mother.

But the emperor didn't notice this. He just stared at the queen mother panting heavily. After a long time, he slowly put down the knife in his hand and asked coldly, "What? I want to eradicate this thief who intends to assassinate the queen mother for my mother. Is there something wrong?"

The Empress Dowager Leng looked up at the emperor in disappointment, then cast a sideways glance at Shen Xu in disgust, then turned her body and glanced over the guards holding iron blades, and finally fixed her gaze on the assassin who was roughly suppressed on the ground body.

She didn't know what to think of, and the expression on her face suddenly became very sad.She lowered her brows slowly, didn't look at the emperor again, but said extremely tiredly, "Let her go."

"Oh, did I hear you right? Queen mother, what nonsense are you talking about?" The emperor asked with a sneer, "This person blatantly assassinated the royal family under the open sky. If he is not dealt with strictly, what will be the face of the royal family in the future? But the queen mother Why do you want to bend the law for personal gain?"

"Your Majesty... there must be some misunderstanding..." Supported by Xue Zinan, Yang Zhong limped over while enduring the severe pain in his leg bones with a livid face.

"Master Yang!" The emperor glanced back at him, "Are you trying to say that I and all the adults present are blind? Just now so many pairs of eyes watched this person commit murder with their own eyes, so there is no misunderstanding at all. ?”

"Your Majesty..." Yang Zhong's face was slumped, and he wanted to speak again, but the emperor raised his hand to stop him.

"So that's how it is..." He seemed to suddenly understand something, a sneer full of coldness rose from his lips, he looked at the Queen Mother, Yang Zhong, and me, and then said meaningfully, "It's really strange, who is this person? How can the current queen mother, prince and general all plead for mercy?"

There was a moment of silence, no one spoke.

"No one said?" The emperor let go of his palm, and the knife fell heavily to the ground. The ear-piercing sound made people's hearts tremble.

He slowly walked up to the assassin, glanced back at the Queen Mother's back, then bent down, and suddenly lifted her mask.

Immediately, thousands of blue hairs scattered in the wind, my pupils shrank accordingly, and a thunder sounded in my ears.

The assassin in front of him is not the master, but his wife!

But why?Where is the master?How could you let Master Mistress be like this?

For a moment, my mind was like a turbulent sea, with countless confusions.

The emperor raised her chin and asked word by word, "Then I will ask you directly, who are you? And why did you assassinate the current Empress Dowager?"

She smiled sadly and said nothing, then raised her head and spat blood on the emperor's face, and said in a hoarse voice, "You are the one I want to kill the most! What right do you have to sit in that person's seat?!"

The Empress Dowager Leng turned around abruptly and looked at Master Mistress in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe that she would say such a thing.

"It really is the late emperor's person..."

The emperor straightened up slowly, without looking annoyed. He wiped the blood from his cheeks with his robe expressionlessly, took the spear from the guard, and smiled wryly at the pale queen mother, "Mother queen!" Empress, you have really... cheated the child so badly... So what are you going to do now? May I ask the empress, do you want to restore the late emperor, or help the child destroy the thief?!"

Empress Leng deeply embedded her nails into her palms. This was the first time I saw her face pale and pale like a ghost. Her body was precarious, as if she would fall down at any time.She stared at her son, and after a long time, her face regained some color, and she said slowly, "Put this person in the sky prison quickly and keep him under strict guard. I will personally interrogate him. Don't allow anyone to come near."

"Mother! Now that things are going on, do you still want to protect the late emperor's people?!"

This order from the Empress Dowager Leng completely angered the young emperor, he trembled with anger, and asked through gritted teeth, "What if I want to let this woman die now?!"

"Emperor, this matter is by no means so simple. There must be something hidden in it. You must not kill it hastily, not to mention she is..." Empress Dowager Leng frowned and looked at the crazy-looking mistress, and opened her mouth, wanting to Stop talking.

"Excuse! It's all an excuse! I see that my mother's heart is still towards the former emperor. Do you also think that I am not worthy to be this emperor?!" The emperor roared and tightened the spear in his hand, "In this case, you Why did you give the throne to me in the first place?!"

"Enough! Don't say any more!" The Empress Dowager Leng almost bit her lips when she heard this.

"The queen mother wants to hit me?" The emperor snorted coldly, stepped forward, grabbed the queen mother's wrist, and said aggressively, "Hit! If you still don't feel relieved, you will kill me! Just like It's the same as killing the emperor back then!"

Seeing the extremely distressed and sad expression on the queen mother's face, I couldn't bear it any longer. I rushed forward and pushed the emperor away with all my strength. Without thinking about it, I pointed at his nose and blurted out, "You bastard!" Boy! Why are you talking to your own mother!"

"King Bold Rui! How dare you be disrespectful to the Holy Majesty! Is this an attempt to rebel!" Shen Xu shouted loudly, and all the guards drew their swords and pointed at me.

"Yes... King Rui of course wants to rebel..." At this juncture, the teacher's wife spoke again.

She raised her eyes and stared at me, then slowly smiled, and I felt terrified all over my body.

"It's really hypocritical, Your Highness King Rui, obviously you ordered me to kill the queen mother and the emperor, didn't you?"

I couldn't help taking a step back, and said in horror, "You...what are you talking about..."

The emperor raised his head with red eyes, and the moment his eyes collided with mine, a sudden chill came out, and I knew that I was the turtle in the urn.

"Run away!" Wei Xinyue yelled at me who was standing still.

"Kill!" The emperor waved his hands heavily.

"No..." Queen Mother Leng wanted to stop her, but before she finished speaking, Nangong Jue was the first to attack me with a blade.

The blade swung past my head, and I rolled unconsciously on the ground, drawing the short blade out of my boot to defend myself.

"It's not me! I didn't do anything!" I waved my dagger, yelling in vain at the guards who slowly surrounded me.

"King Rui is carrying a murder weapon! Queen Mother, please be careful! Ask the minister to send the Queen Mother away quickly!" Shen Xu took this opportunity and finally grabbed the jade wrist of the Queen Mother who was once again alone.

"You are presumptuous..." The Queen Mother Leng turned her head and glared at him angrily, but she didn't finish her sentence, she didn't know what Shen Xu had done, and she fainted all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty must have been so enraged by what King Rui did... she fainted..." Shen Xu pretended to be sad, which was obviously disgusting, but the angry emperor didn't realize that there was something wrong with it Instead, he was allowed to take the queen mother back to the palace first.

The shocking change was only in an instant, and everything was out of control.

My wife framed me, the queen mother fell into a coma, the emperor was furious, Yang Zhong was injured, Xinyue was helpless, my master was missing, so many people wanted to kill me.

Xinyue once said: Praying mantises are catching cicadas, and orioles are behind them. In the depths of the strange forest, there are poisonous snakes and vultures dormant in the dark.

But looking at everything that happened in front of me, now I can't tell at all, who is the mantis?Who is the oriole?Who are the Viper and the Vulture?Who is the real winner in this game of life and death?I suddenly had a strange feeling that I wasn't even a cicada, at most it was an invisible little ant crawling on a tree trunk.

No one can save me... There is no way I can escape alone like Master...

Just when I desperately thought that I must be dead, a touch of red suddenly grabbed my palm, and said very quickly and very softly, "Hurry up and hold me hostage."

"Let her go!" The emperor glared at me angrily and nervously.

I put the knife on Murong Ying's neck, and stared at the emperor angrily and nervously, "Let me go!"

The two of us were in a stalemate for a long time, he didn't want to let me go easily, and I didn't dare to put down the knife easily.

Murong Ying frowned slightly, and then I felt her move, and blood seeped out from her snow-white neck.

With red eyes, I yelled ferociously, "Let me go! Otherwise I will really kill her!"

I felt very sorry, but there was no other way. I couldn't live up to the sacrifice she made to save me.

The emperor finally retreated, and very unwillingly ordered someone to make way for me.

"Rebel, you can't escape!" He stared at me fiercely.

I pursed my lips, did not speak, but carefully held Murong Ying to move slowly.

"Get on the horse." She said again.

"But...I won't..." I said a little embarrassed.

"If you don't want to die, get on the horse!" She gave me a very quick look.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and put her on the horse's back first, and then struggled to climb up by myself.

"Stab the horse with your knife."

"Huh?" I was stunned.

"Quick stab!"

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and stab the horse's buttocks. The horse neighed and galloped away. I was so frightened by the violent bumps that I hurriedly closed my eyes and hugged Murong Ying in front of me tightly.

"Chasing! Chase!" The emperor roared in annoyance from behind.

With dozens of guards, he got on his horse and chased after us.

As soon as we ran out of the kicking arena, there was one after another of shouting and cursing from behind, and many bows and arrows were shot. Even though Murong Ying was skilled in equestrian skills, he survived several times in danger.

The horses riding on two people are obviously getting slower and slower, and the people and horses behind are getting closer and closer to us.

"Murong Ying, forget it, stop." I looked at her ice-cold side face and whispered in her ear, "You don't have to wade through this muddy water together for someone like me. "

"Shut up!" But she flicked the rein heavily, forcing the horse to run faster.

"Why... why did you help me this far...?" I asked weakly.

"No why... You saved me too." She bit her lip and answered me like this.

I closed my eyes again.

Of course this is the answer, otherwise what else could it be?

"Murong Ying, there is something... I thought I would bury it in my heart for the rest of my life, and not tell anyone..."

After a while, I opened my eyes and said to her quietly.

"You really talk so much all the time! Can't we wait until we escape?!" She interrupted me hastily, shaking the rein desperately, "Drive! Drive!"

"I'm afraid it won't work... If I don't say anything... I'm afraid this life will be over..." I smiled wryly.

She looked back abruptly, only to realize that I had already been shot by several arrows.

"Agui...you hold on! We will definitely escape!" She also began to panic, "I will save you soon! Hold on to me, do you hear me?!"

For some reason, looking at her, I suddenly lost my fear.

"I like you." I took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to whisper in her ear, "I'm sorry...I really like you."

She froze for a moment, then asked very slowly, "Why...why did you say sorry...?"

What a sensitive woman.

I smiled bitterly in my heart, raised my heavy arm, and slowly wrote two words on her back.

That's my real name, Lin Mu.

I don't know if she can recognize it.

"I'm sorry, it's because I lied to you. In fact, I'm not some kind of King Rui, not some kind of orphan of Emperor Jing." When I said these words, I heard the speed of my blood flowing in my chest, as if thousands of clouds were whistling and surging. Frankly, a little shaky, "I'm fake, I'm just a normal guy, not even a...man."

I felt that Murong Ying's body froze obviously, but I insisted with all my strength, "So I'm really sorry... I said these ridiculous things on my own initiative... I caused you a lot of trouble... But in the end, I still want to tell you with my true identity...I like you...I really like you, even if I tell myself ten thousand times that I shouldn't like you...but I still like you ..."

After saying this, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. It turns out that this is the feeling of being able to be myself again.

"Go to hell!" At this moment, someone behind me chased me up and slashed at me with a knife.

But I have nothing to be afraid of. At this moment, I can die without regret.

With a sound of 'whoosh', an arrow shot out from nowhere pierced the man's head.

"This way! Run away to the woods ahead!"

A masked man in black jumped out and shouted at us, shooting the pistol in his hand while shouting, disrupting the formation of the people behind.

She reined in the horse and turned around, and I almost fell off the horse due to the bumps.

"Hold me tight." She turned to me.

"Huh?" I suspected that I had heard it wrong. I thought that after knowing the truth, she would definitely alienate me.

"Don't make me say it a second time." She pursed her lips and said bluntly, "And you hold on until I can settle accounts with you!"
