Unprecedented

Chapter 18 Please Don't Save Me

To the north of Shangyang City is the Longji Mountain Range.After crossing the Longji Mountains, there are vast grasslands, desert mountains, and further north is the territory of the Beiyi Kingdom.

The heavy snow is still flying, and the sky and the earth are terribly cold.

The night was dark, the wind and snow were blowing, and the two carriages were struggling on the mountain road.

Shuang Lan'er woke up in the turbulence, struggled to open her eyes, and her eyes were dim and blurry. Not far away, there seemed to be a small wind lamp shaking non-stop, and the halo was rippling around, making her eyes even more hazy.Her head was so heavy, she struggled to sit up, and only then did she remember that Long Teng had fed her the drug... The curtain of the carriage was lifted, it was night again... that father was executing...

The bottom of her heart sank suddenly, filled with pain, she suddenly yelled out: "Stop! Where is this? I'm going back to Shangyang City, I'm going to see Daddy for the last time!"

At first no one answered, she seemed crazy, she jumped forward to snatch the reins of the carriage.

The person riding the carriage was Xuan Ye, and he replied: "Miss Shuang, don't worry, your father is in the carriage behind. Your Highness and General Qiu have made arrangements, and now I will send you out of the Longji Mountains."

Shuang Lan'er was stunned, "Then, where is the Longteng man?" She was confused, how could daddy be safe and sound?Long Teng would not do something stupid for her.

Xuan Ye replied: "Your Highness will come after you soon."

Daddy is still alive, Long Teng will come later.Shuang Lan'er was overjoyed, and quickly looked back from the car window, seeing another small carriage following closely behind, she was even more excited.

At this moment, Xuan Ye suddenly cursed, "Not good."

Shuang Lan'er was puzzled at first, but soon realized something was wrong, holding her breath, she could hear the sound of horse's hooves sweeping like thunder.Not long after, a black vein approached, and it was hard to tell how many people there were.

This is not Long Teng, let alone someone sent by Qiu Tinglan. If they follow, they will just gallop lightly.The more she thought about it, the colder her heart became, her heart was beating wildly, and her hands were covered in cold sweat.

Xuan Ye remained calm, waved his whip, Shuang Lan'er leaned back, and the carriage ran faster.The carriage behind also picked up speed.

But the black-clothed guards pressed on tightly, riding their horses in bursts, raising snow and fog.The person in the head is dressed in a dazzling golden color, even in the dark night, even in the wind and snow, it still shines with a breathtaking light.

The night was too dark, Shuang Lan'er couldn't see the face of the person who came, only vaguely saw him with a longbow in his arm, and drew a long arrow from behind himself, and shot it out, the long arrow was like a shooting star, drawing a beautiful curved arc in the night sky , take another one out, and shoot it out again.

Almost at the same time, the axles of both carriages were shot, and the wooden corrugated cracked with a "crack", and then with a "boom", the two carriages collapsed one after another.The horse was frightened, broke free from the rein and galloped, and disappeared in an instant.

Shuang Lan'er didn't hurt her forehead when the carriage collapsed, and gurgled down to her neck.Regardless of the pain, she got out of the carriage and ran to the carriage behind.

"Daddy, Daddy." She called anxiously, and pulled the skinny Shuang Liancheng out of the carriage, but saw that Shuang Liancheng's eyes were tightly closed, his breathing was weak, and he obviously passed out due to the impact.She hastily took out the golden needle from her cuff and quickly applied it.

The needles rose and the needles fell, Shuang Liancheng finally woke up, seeing Shuang Lan'er, his eyes overflowed with surprise at first, then regret, and in a flash, it seemed that he had gone through vicissitudes of life, and the infinite words were only condensed into one sentence, "Lan'er, why did you save me."

Shuang Lan'er lowered her head and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Daddy, don't say anything, let's go quickly."

Xuan Ye said anxiously: "No, the pursuers are coming. Hurry up and hide in the woods—"

Before they could finish speaking, the billowing snow and mist raised by the horseshoes rushed towards them, and the black-clothed guards immediately surrounded them.The last rider came at a gallop, the golden robe shining brightly in the flying snow, it was Long Xiaoting.

All around is the bright light of the blade.

Long Xiaoting stopped there.Standing tall and straight, with his hands hanging by his sides, the frost and snow reflected the shining silver light, shining all over his body.Night, snow, deep mountains, pine trees and him form a beautiful painting.He looked at Shuang Lan'er, his eyes were like a cold sword.

Shuang Lan'er trembled all over, as if a coldness pierced her bone marrow, which made her hair stand on end.

Long Xiaoting finally said, "Shuang Lan'er, robbing the execution ground is a capital crime, you can't bear it, and it will also implicate Qiu Tinglan. When the father learned that he was furious, he personally ordered the execution of the law on the spot. This king takes orders from the court, and you can't favoritism. I get out of the way!"

His words were like a basin of cold water pouring on the top of her head, Shuang Lan'er's eyes were filled with pain, and she begged: "My lord, it seems that we once... let my father go."

Long Xiaoting shook his head, his expression was as cold as the dark night.

Shuang Lan'er got up suddenly, and rushed under Long Xiaoting's horse in an instant, her bun spread out as she ran, like thick ink sprinkled on plain white rice paper, it was so beautiful.

The guards in black immediately became alert, pointing their spears at Shuang Lan'er, looking aggressive.Long Xiaoting raised his hand slowly, and the guard with a vigilant expression put down his spear.

The snow fell silently, and there was only silence in the world.

Under Shuang Lan'er's feet, there was the sound of loose snow, which was clear to my ears.She knelt down slowly, raised her head, and stared at Long Xiaoting, who was so far away and cold, that she couldn't touch him with her hands.The heart is sour and astringent, is it true that you have not been moved?Have you really missed him?Recalling love and thinking about others, sleepless nights, waking up in the middle of the night, tears wet the pillow towel.Unforgettable, or do not want to forget?

I don't know when, she always looked at the night sky quietly, the stars were dotted with stars, and the crescent moon was like a hook. The scene seemed that he occasionally looked up at her, and smiled softly. His smile was as soft as clear waves, making her heart flutter.The poisoning has been deep, and she wants to detoxify, but she doesn't know where the antidote is.

At this moment, Long Xiaoting was also looking at her.

The snowy night was gloomy, with no moonlight or stars, only fine snow drifting across the sky, slowly falling on her body, her expression was melancholy, like an orchid in an empty valley, or like a lotus blooming in a quiet night.

It was too cold, and Shuang Lan'er's voice was trembling with cold, "Xiao Ting, after all, my father is also Jun Ze's grandfather, blood is thicker than water..."

Long Xiaoting turned his face to the side, unable to see the expression on his face, "I said that night, draw a line as a boundary. Either it is my person or my enemy. You have given me the answer."

Tears flickered in Shuang Lan'er's eyes, and every word seemed to be crying blood, "Xiao Ting, please. You can do whatever you want, I'll go back with you..."

Long Xiaoting's body trembled slightly, but he didn't answer her. After a while, he said silently: "Do you know how Pei Yin died? Do you know how they treated her? Right in front of me..." It seemed that he couldn't continue, His voice choked.Reaching out to catch a piece of flying snow, his tone was light and sad, "The poison of fire and cold can make people burn in flames at one time, and freeze in ice at another time. The fire and ice alternate, and the pain is so painful. But she endured the pain and bit it open." Each finger wrote one word after another on the ground. Her fingers trembled so much that she couldn't help herself, but she still persisted. Blood flowed out from under her body, around her lips, and even in her moist eyes... that The blood flowed to my side little by little, how can I forget! Tell me, how can I forget?" After that, he looked at her quietly, as if looking at a problem that had no answer.

Shuang Lan'er was stunned, with gradually despair in her eyes.

After a long time, his thin lips parted slightly, and he finally said, "I swear, whoever caused her to suffer this pain will pay back a hundred times in the future! Shuang Lian has committed a heinous crime and helped the evildoer, how can I let him go! Shuang Lan'er, what is your current status?" She is the daughter of the county magistrate of Luochuan, Luzhou, and she has nothing to do with the Shuang family. This king thinks that you have... This matter and the robbery of the execution ground are just as unknown. You can ask your father if he has done it! I will not wrong him !"

Shuang Liancheng sat slumped on the ground, and said in a hoarse voice, "Lan'er, what should come will always come, and I can't hide even if I want to. I did concoct the Huohan Poison, and I used your blood as a poison guide. .You let me punish the law, I deserve what I deserve.” For more than 20 years, he has been ups and downs in the sea of ​​suffering, whether he is wrong or right, he is really tired, and he just wants to get rid of it at this moment.

Hearing her father's confession, Shuang Lan'er's face faded like a lotus in an instant, and she shook her head desperately, "No, father, there must be something hidden, tell me! Tell me!"

Shuang Liancheng looked at Long Xiaoting, and said indifferently: "King Rui, if the old concubine hadn't been poisoned by fire and cold, the emperor would have arrived, so she doesn't need to die...you can kill me."

"No, don't..." Shuang Lan'er struggled to get up, and grabbed the hem of Long Xiaoting's clothes tightly from her horse, as if grasping the last hope.

However, while struggling, something shiny silver fell from her arms.

Long Xiaoting waved the long whip lightly in his hand, the thing was rolled up by the long whip before it hit the ground, he held it in his hand and looked closely, it was a silver mirror!Once upon a time, the silver mirror he gave her had a crack running across it. From the beginning to the end, it was cold and frightening.Gathering his five fingers together, he instantly crushed the silver mirror to pieces until it shattered.Spread your palms, and the debris falls.

Cold words came along with the wind, "Unless a broken mirror can be rounded!"

Long Xiaoting swung Shuang Lan'er away with one arm, and the past came to the fore, and every breath was a tearing pain.For a whole month, what did he endure, what kind of suffering, but what kind of ending did he wait for.He bit his lip, "It's my greatest limit not to pursue you! Don't challenge my patience."

I want to forget, but I can't forget, and I dare not forget.

Want to hate, he can't do it!

He hurts so much!The more it hurts, the more sober he becomes!
The torches in the hands of the surrounding guards flickered, snowflakes fell one after another, and the world was heavy.

Stretch the strings, stretch your arms, hold the full moon in your arms, hold the green hills on your back, and fill your bows and arrows.

At that moment, Shuang Lan'er was pushed to the ground by Long Xiaoting, her body hurt everywhere, but her mind was blank, suddenly she got up from the ground, ran out instinctively, rushed forward and hugged Shuang Liancheng tightly, Use your back as a cover.Even if it was her father's fault, she couldn't just watch her father die.If the last family member leaves her, she doesn't know what is the meaning of living in this world, and what is it for.

Shuang Liancheng couldn't push Shuang Lan'er away, and sighed: "Lan'er, Daddy's greatest wish is that you can live a good life. Don't do stupid things."

In the quiet night, flying snow fell on Shuang Lan'er's cheeks, turning into tears and falling down.She hugged Shuang Liancheng tightly, she couldn't see Long Xiaoting, she turned her back and shouted loudly: "My lord, if I want to kill you, kill me together."

Long Xiaoting frowned coldly.He slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself not to look at the scene in front of him.The long eyelashes were closed, forming a ruthless arc, and the snow fell between his brows. His voice was heavy and firm, "Shuang Lan'er, the emperor's fate is in my body, and there is blood and blood. I will count to ten and shoot arrows, you know what I am?" Temper, get out of the way!"

"one two Three……"

She didn't move.

His expression was extremely calm, and he couldn't see any emotional waves, "Four, five, six..."

She still doesn't move.

"Eight, nine, ten!"

"No! Don't!" The roar pierced the sky.A horse galloped from a distance, so urgent that there was no delay.

Long Xiaoting's hands trembled, and he let go of the bowstring.The silver arrow was like a deadly sharp blade, with a cruel and beautiful arc of light, it shot straight through the heavy snow.

"Oh—" Shuang Lan'er cried out in pain.

The sound of the sharp blade slowly piercing through the skin was inaudible, like cracking brocade.In an instant, the arrow pierced through her back, pierced, and then pierced Shuang into the left chest, which was where the heart was.

An arrow shot through both of them.

Dapeng's blood spurted from Shuang Liancheng's mouth, and he fell heavily on Shuang Lan'er's shoulder.

Shuang Lan'er's hands trembled uncontrollably, her father's pulse...had stopped beating... At that moment, her heart gave a "crack" sound, as if something had cracked violently, and the last hope in her heart was trampled by Long Xiaoting. To be crushed, trampled into powder, swayed with the snow all over the sky, and never come back.

Her back was pierced by a sharp arrow. She had never felt such pain. Her back was soaked, whether it was soaked in sweat or blood.

"Don't!" It was too late when Long Teng arrived, he rushed forward, grabbed a long knife, and chopped off the sharp arrow from Shuang Lan'er and Shuang.

Shuang Liancheng fell backwards, lifeless, and the blood stained the snow red, and it looked like a burning fire from a distance.

Shuang Lan'er looked hopeless and gradually became silent. Her body was like the last leaf blown off a branch in the cold winter, and she fell into Long Teng's warm arms.She raised her head with difficulty and looked at Long Teng.

The eastern sky has already turned gray.His face was beautiful, but at the moment it was full of decadence, his black eyebrows were originally like a new moon, but at this moment they were condensed into painful arcs, and his eyes, which were originally bright and bright, were darker than the night at this moment.

Long Teng's voice was hoarse, almost unrecognizable, "Shuangshuang, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Her tears suddenly rushed down uncontrollably, like a clear mountain spring that couldn't stop.

Long Teng reached out to wipe, but the more he wiped, the more he wiped.Sourness surged in his heart, his eyes gradually blurred, and in the haze, he saw bright red overflowing from her lips, bit by bit, like a poignant red flower blooming in front of his eyes, or like a sharp knife in his heart Passed hard.

The poison of the ferret, the heat of the wind and cold, the pain in the bottom of her heart, the arrow wounds she suffered were too many, and she couldn't bear it any longer. She stretched out her weak hand and tremblingly caressed Long Teng's pale cheek.

Long Teng suddenly held her icy fingertips, and a silent pain rolled in his throat.

Shuang Lan'er tried her best to show a misty and beautiful smile, "Shaoyun, do you like me?"

Long Teng nodded.

Do you like her?Naturally I like it.When did you start liking her?He himself couldn't tell, was he in the prison in Shangyang City?She tore open her skirt without hesitation in front of him, disdainful of chastity, just to avenge her grievances.Her eyes at that time showed her contempt for the rich and powerful, and her mockery of money.Is that when you fell in love with her?Maybe earlier.

In the market in Shangyang City, she was the only one standing on the straight road. She was dressed in plain white, with black hair hanging down her waist. She didn't wear shoes, and her feet were covered with blood and scars. She walked barefoot across the knife bridge step by step. Holding a blood book in his hand.The bright red color flashed into his eyes like lightning.Is that time?Will it be sooner?
It was the first meeting one night, she was obviously afraid, but her hands were trembling but she tried to calm down and robbed him.Could it be that she would rob him of his clothes, his token to leave the city, and his heart at that time?
She clearly knew that she had someone else in her heart.

That night, in the warm water lake, he once said to her: "Shuangshuang, I like you a little bit", but suddenly he changed his words, "Do you really believe it? You are so easy to deceive. I have seen silly ones, but I have never seen You're so stupid. Hahaha—"

Is it because he was afraid that she would refuse, so he changed his words hastily?Yeah?
Thinking of him soaring as a dragon, playing in the world, living among the flowers, never showing any emotion, and there are times when he is so embarrassed...

Just because of love, so dare not speak out?

Just because of love, so you backed down instead?

He nodded, then nodded solemnly again, a choking sob crept up his throat.

So far, what else can he not say?What else is there to hold back?What else can't you admit?I wanted to wait for her to fall in love with him slowly, but now, he was completely overwhelmed by the flustered feeling, and he was at a loss.

The snow stopped and the sky was fine.

The golden morning sun was falling, but it made Shuang Lan'er's face pale like snowflakes.

She opened her mouth, and Long Teng hugged her even tighter, "Shuangshuang, what do you want to say?"

Shuang Lan'er leaned against Long Teng weakly, her eyes were blurred, and gradually she couldn't see his handsome face clearly. There seemed to be dim lights dancing like will-o'-the-wisps in the underworld.She seemed to see the smiling faces of her parents, right in front of her eyes.She was so tired that she didn't know what to do to keep going.For her, the years of life are just cut and broken by thousands of knives, and there is no complete memory.Live, just suffer.A low sound came out with difficulty from his throat.

Long Teng pressed close to her face, listening to her extremely subtle voice, he said clearly:

"Shaoyun, if you really like me...please don't save me...please..."

At that moment, Long Teng couldn't bear the grief in his heart anymore, and tears slowly rolled down his cheeks.At the same time, Shuang Lan'er fell asleep soundlessly in his arms.He didn't understand what she meant, but she didn't want to live, and she couldn't live anymore.Suddenly, he hugged her tightly, raised his head to the sky and screamed, the roar was full of grief and indignation, like a gust of wind sweeping across the field, like a storm, thunder and lightning.

As if there were thousands of sharp knives cutting at the same time in his heart, he choked up, his eyes turned sharp in an instant, and he yelled at her sleeping: "No, you still have children, you still have relatives. Let's fight, let's fight! Let's fight for the throne! Take everything back!"

"Let's fight, let's fight! Let's fight for the throne! Take everything back!" He yelled several times, but she just fell asleep, peacefully.He got up and looked at Long Xiaoting coldly.The morning sun is gorgeous and the golden light is dazzling.He touched a pair of eyes that endured severe pain no less than his own.

Long Xiaoting got off his horse a long time ago, and stood there in the wind, dazed.The remaining snow on his shoulders finally slowly melted away under the morning sun, as if it had condensed into countless tear spots on his body, which was extremely poignant and beautiful.

Long Teng rushed to Long Xiaoting in one step.

The four eyes looked at each other, neither of them could see the depths of the other's heart.

There was a moment of silence, only the breathing of the two was heard, like the sea after a storm, ups and downs panting.

Long Teng smiled sadly, "You and I are the same age, I respect you for being my elder. Long Xiaoting! I know you have suffered a lot since you were young. When your mother was a beauty, she was oppressed by the queen. In the slit. My father is always guarding against you, suppressing you, and persecuting you. And then... the matter of the princess, I know that you have not been easy all the way. If there is no hatred, you cannot live. My father and my mother are bad things If you do everything, they deserve to die, and if you are outside, you have to pay back the debt you owe. I don't hate you. I never thought of competing with you for the throne, as long as you want, the whole country is yours!"

After a pause, he stretched out a finger, pointed at Long Xiaoting, and said word by word, "But now, you and I are no longer relatives, you and I are mortal enemies! As long as I, Long Teng, live for a day, you don't want to be emperor!"

Turning his eyes, Long Teng glanced at Xuan Ye, who had long been subdued by the black-clothed guards, and gave him a ruthless look.Immediately, the guard in black had no choice but to let go of Xuan Ye.He turned around, picked up the unconscious Shuang Lan'er, flew onto the horse, and swung his whip.

"Xuan Ye, let's go!"

Long Xiaoting's whole body was numb, and Long Teng's words lingered in his ears, and he didn't know if he listened.He thought...she would avoid...he thought...she understood his temper...no, it was her strong temper, he should understand...he moved, but his steps were superficial, like stepping on cotton , still unable to focus.He whispered, "Peiyin, I have avenged you."

The first snow this year has finally stopped.The sun rises and burns half the sky.

Looking up, colorful auspicious clouds gently hold up the mountains.In the vain red clouds, everything seems to be floating and flying.

Long Xiaoting murmured, inaudibly, perhaps only he could hear it.

"I didn't fall in love with her, and I won't regret it. Peiyin, I avenged you."

A handsome face, turned white and colorless under the golden light, he repeated:

"I didn't fall in love with her, and I won't regret it. Peiyin, I avenged you."

"I didn't fall in love with her, and I won't regret it."

"I'm not in love with her."

Are you kidding yourself?He only felt that he was about to collapse and fall into the abyss.Suddenly he hissed and knelt in the snow, hitting his head hard against the thick tree trunk, but felt no pain.Hit again, still feel no pain.When it hit again, the sawdust was thrown into the air and pierced into his anxious and painful eyes, but he still couldn't feel it...

He couldn't tell whether it was tears on his face or the melted snow that fell on his hair last night, his eyes gradually blurred, and blood dripped from his forehead bit by bit.

The sun is shining and the mountains are snowing.

Only he knelt down in front of the tree in a dainty suit, and the mountain wind whispered every word.

"I didn't fall in love with her..."

For a long time.

When Fengtian arrived, it was already evening, and seeing Long Xiaoting sitting on his knees in the snow, staring blankly at the snow all over the mountains, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Long Xiaoting up, and said anxiously: "My lord, you must not keep looking at the snow. In the snow, you will get snow blindness."

Long Xiaoting looked confused, and the moment he turned his eyes, he couldn't see anyone coming, and his eyes were completely dark.He couldn't see anything...
