Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky: Twelve, a line between sorrow and joy 4

At that moment, the world had never seen the person sitting on the bed with knees bent. She held the sword in her arms, as if she was holding the reliance of her whole life. manifested in her.

In front of the palace gate, Du Kang looked at her quietly, and then left quietly.

Leaving Fengying Palace, he went straight to Yingshou Palace.

In Yingshou Palace, Jiuyao was sitting on the steps in front of the court with the purple peony plant in his arms in a daze, staring blankly at the ground, but his spirit didn't know where he was wandering.

Feeling a shadow cast in front of him, he raised his head and saw Du Kang standing in front of him, still with the expressionless expression on his face. He glanced at it, ignored it, and continued to look down at the bluestone floor.

"You don't need to remind her that she killed a lot of people, she knows better than you that there are countless dead souls under her sword, and she also knows that she will go to purgatory after death."

Suddenly heard Du Kang speak, Jiuyao raised his head and looked at him in surprise.

This person exists like the shadow of Feng Duying. He has always only had Feng Duying in his eyes, and his status is also very detached. Apart from obeying Feng Duying's orders, it is the emperor's will. He would not pay attention to it either, so if there was no order from Feng Duying, he would never pay attention to people and things other than her. Even when he obeyed Feng Duying's order to take care of the injured him that day, it was just his duty to take care of him, and there was never a single extra word or action, but at this moment, he would come to talk to him on his own initiative, why didn't he be surprised .

"Just because she doesn't cry, get angry, or yell, doesn't mean she's neither in pain, nor in sorrow, nor in sorrow." When Du Kang said this, there was no expression on his face.

Jiuyao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, as if he didn't know what he was talking about.

After Du Kang finished these two sentences, he turned around and left.

Jiuyao stood up abruptly, "Slow down."

Du Kang stopped, turned around and looked at Jiuyao.

"Why did you tell me this?" Jiu Yao looked at Zi Shao in his arms.

Du Kang looked at him, and there was a moment of silence, as if he was considering whether it was necessary to talk to him.

Jiu Yao lowered his eyes and waited.

"I have one life with her. When she is in pain, I will feel uncomfortable."

After waiting for a long while, Du Kang's flat voice came, but it was just such a flat voice without a trace of emotion saying such words, making Jiuyao's heart feel as if being pricked by a rusty needle, astringent and painful . But... how could he be soft-hearted, otherwise what would happen to those dead clansmen, how could they close their eyes, how could they rest in peace under the Nine Springs.

"She doesn't change her face even when she kills, so why can't she bear such a few words?"

After listening to Jiuyao's words, Du Kangruo Gujing's eyes flashed with a violent light. "In the eyes of the world, including yours, she is a general with high martial arts skills, as strong as cast iron and flawless." He paused slightly, and a trace of anger leaked out of his flat voice, "But you all forget that she is also a flesh and blood She is still a woman."

Jiu Yao was startled, and looked up at Du Kang.

Du Kang looked at him coldly, "What are the women in the world doing right now?"

Jiuyao's eyes flashed, but he didn't answer.

"For thousands of years, women all over the world have done roughly the same thing. Among them, the hardworking ones may be farming, weaving and embroidery, raising children, and feeding livestock; Fragrant tea, I’m writing a poem to express my sorrow.”

The corners of Du Kang's lips curled up slightly, which seemed to be a smile, but it didn't look like a smile on his expressionless face, it was just a weird twist.

"Yes, when these women are embroidering mandarin ducks and admiring the flowers and the moon, she is killing people with a sword!" His cold gaze pierced Jiuyao's face like a sharp arrow, "Do you think she wants Want to kill? Like to kill? In the beginning, she was also a weak girl who hid behind her elder brother. But when the Gong family broke into Huicheng and surrounded the women and girls in the city for fun, the nine-year-old she was also arrested in the chaos , when the others could only howl and cry, she picked up the half-cut sword on the ground and stabbed the soldier who was rushing towards her, and then stabbed three people in a row, and finally waited for her brother's rescue. Because of this, the eight of them Yu Huicheng raised the flag angrily, and she picked up a sharp sword at the tender age of nine and embarked on a **** journey until now."

"Holding a sword at the age of nine..." Jiuyao's pupils shrank. That day Dongming Haihai heard her talk about the past, and knew that she had a hard time since she was a child, but it was only based on the words "she has experienced countless dangers", and she had never really understood and imagined what she had experienced. When Du Kang said it, he couldn't help feeling nervous.

Du Kang had no time to pay attention to Jiuyao's reaction, and continued: "You despise killing and hate killing, because you are a clean person with a conscience. Naturally, you don't know what a person with a conscience will have to pay after killing someone. Let me tell you, the smell of blood after a murder will always linger in your body, and the horrifying expression of the slain will always be engraved in your heart, and you will have nightmares for a long time, and your mind will be disturbed You will feel that you are dirty and disgusting, and the hatred of yourself is even more like a shadow, and you will be branded as a "killer" in your body, and you will bear the sins all your life, and you will never die!"

Jiu Yao stared at Du Kang, speechless.

Du Kang looked at him with a feeling of indignation in his chest. Because of him, Feng Duying reluctantly separated from his brother; in order to save him, Feng Duying gave up Fengji like a heartbreak, and treated him with deep love and righteousness. But this man only returned her with hatred and indifference!

"I just want to tell you that you don't need to stab her with crazy words. There are many people in this world who think she is an enemy and hate her like you, but the one who hates her most in this world is her." You don't need to stab her with a sword, she is already the most painful person in the world, so you don't need to add hatred."

"Crack!" Zi Shao, who was in Jiuyao's arms, fell to the ground, but he didn't feel it at all, and just stared blankly at Du Kang.

After Du Kang said these words, he didn't look at Jiuyao anymore, turned around and left.

"You...stop." Jiuyao called him.

But Du Kang ignored it.

"Stop!" Jiuyao quickly stepped forward and grabbed him.

Du Kang just flicked Jiuyao away, but he didn't leave, but stood still and looked at Jiuyao.

Jiuyao stared at Du Kang, his chest heaved, obviously emotional, but he stopped Du Kang, but his mind went blank, he didn't know what to say.

Du Kang didn't move, let alone speak, just stood there.

After a long time, Jiuyao turned around and picked up the purple peony tree on the ground, and gently brushed the dust on the petals. Du Kang saw that action was extremely glaring in Du Kang's eyes. The person who saved your life spoke coldly and pointedly at each other."

Jiuyao paused, then continued to brush away the dust, and said softly with endless melancholy: "She is my benefactor and also my enemy. There are countless souls between me and her, but we are still together." Husband and wife... How can I treat her, and you tell me how to treat her."

Listening to Jiuyao's words, Du Kang was slightly startled.

Looking at the person caressing the flowers in a daze, thinking of the corpses and pools of blood all over the top of Jiuluo Mountain, the anger disappeared, his heart was heavy, and after a moment of silence, he said: "That day on Jiuluo Mountain she said that Jiuluo's death was because of her However, although she never killed your people, she has already borne this crime, and she will always remember the blood disaster on Jiuluo Mountain. So I only ask you to live your life in peace and stability, and don't go there again It hurts her, because..." Du Kang paused when he said this, and then said with difficulty and bitterness after a while, "Everyone in the world treats her as nothing, and there are only a few who can make her suffer, but You are the one who can hurt her."

Jiuyao's whole body trembled, and the hands stroking the petals couldn't help trembling.

"Although she stands at the peak of the Great Eastern Empire today, although she is worshiped by thousands of people, although she enjoys wealth and glory, in my opinion, these are far from enough to repay the pain and suffering she has suffered for more than 20 years. " Du Kang's flat voice finally brought regret, "If she is really as ruthless as she looks, maybe she can live a more comfortable life."

"Why..." Jiuyao still turned his back, unable to see his expression, but there was faint pain in his voice, "The one who hates her most in this world is herself?"

Du Kang was silent.

"Why?" Jiuyao asked hoarsely.

After a long time, Du Kang said: "I don't know what she was like seven years ago, but I have seen it clearly during the seven years I have been with her. Every time there is a war, she takes the lead and fights every time there is danger. , she stands at the forefront..."

Jiu Yao's hands could not help but squeeze the petals tightly.

"Whether she is in Beihai or Jiuluo Mountain, she is a general, but she always takes risks in person, and let the soldiers stand behind her. She may not have discovered the self-destructive desire hidden in her heart." Heart, but I know she wants to die, and how can a person of her personality die in the world, so only the horse leather shroud is worthy of her reputation!"

Jiuyao's heart trembled, and he turned around abruptly, staring at Du Kang with horror in his eyes, "Why does she want to die?"

"One general has achieved ten thousand dead bones! To this day, there are countless dead bones and dead souls under her feet! Slaying the enemy before the battle is as heavy as a mountain! The people lost their lives and their bones were broken Muscle pain! These, some people will forget with the passage of time, but she is accumulated in the heart! What's more..." Du Kang paused for a while, then looked at him, and said in an extremely difficult way, "That day the imperial capital she Didn’t I tell you that her own brother died by her sword.”

"That's..." For some reason, Jiuyao felt chills in his heart, "Feng Qingran was a member of King Yong Liu Shan's banner back then, and he and her... died on the battlefield when the two armies were confronting each other." /

Du Kang shook his head, "It was to break Qingzhou. After the brothers and sisters recognized each other, she personally killed them."

Jiu Yao was shocked again, looking at Du Kang in disbelief, "Since the brother and sister recognize each other, why did you kill him with your own hands?"

Du Kang said nothing.

But as Gu Yunyuan, Jiuyao had experienced the world of mortals and participated in the government, so he was not a person who didn't understand the world, so he only needed to think about it, and he understood it in his heart.

Feng Qingran, known as "Mr. Qingran" in the world, is a brilliant and brilliant figure in troubled times, the adopted son of King Yong Liu Shan, and the first person in King Yong's army. Liu Shan and his father and son with different surnames, from beginning to end, the father trusts the son, and the son repays the father with loyalty. It is a good story of kindness both then and now. However, Feng Qingran and Feng Duying have been separated since they were babies, and they have not known whether they will live or die for more than ten years. But when they meet again, one is under the banner of King Yong, and the other is in the formation of the Eastern King.

"She once said that her elder brother raised her with blood and protected her with his life..." Jiuyao murmured. When she talked about it that day, she was full of pride, proud of her brother, then... when she killed her own relatives with her own hands, killed the man she had been looking for for more than ten years, who had raised her with blood and saved her life How heart-wrenching it must be when you kiss your brother!

Thinking of Feng Qingran, Du Kang's expressionless face finally showed nostalgia. "Feng Wang's seven brothers are naturally dragons among men, and Feng Si is known as the number one person in Dadong, but in my opinion, he is far less free and easy than Mr. Qingran, who is the real Fengsi." A peerless person."

Hearing this, Jiuyao was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but look up at him.

At this moment, Du Kang's eyes are looking into the distance, his eyes are full of reminiscence, obviously his mind has drifted back to the past.

"My son was not able to go back to find Feng Wang back then because he was cut off by a rebellious soldier. When he was dying, he was rescued by Liu Shan, who was only a centurion. Liu Shan treated the son as if he was his own son. The son also regards him as his father, so although Liu Shan was the most mediocre talent among the heroes in the troubled times, but with the help of the son, he, a little centurion, became the hero of Qingzhou and Yongzhou. "

Jiu Yao listened, and couldn't help asking: "Then...how did their brother and sister know each other?"

"After the son became famous, he once announced to the world to look for the lost sister in Pucheng. Feng Wang was just a child and didn't know the details, but how could His Majesty forget that even though he pawned the jade ring and silver lock in his infancy back then, he kept it all the time. That's the proof of recognition. It's just..." Du Kang sighed softly.

"Just what?" Jiuyao couldn't help asking.

"After seeing the announcement, His Majesty told you about your life experience. After thinking about it, Feng Wang sent Nan Gongxiu to send a letter to the young master. When the young master learned that his sister is a famous general in the world, he immediately laughed and said, "From now on, you can rest assured." Then they burned the letter, and never mentioned the matter of brother and sister's recognition, because only a few people in the world know about their relationship. When His Majesty surrounded Qingzhou, he wrote privately to Young Master, trying to persuade Young Master with their brother and sister love, Young Master resolutely Rejected, said, "If you don't live as a traitor, you will die as a Yong ghost" and defended Qingzhou. After the city was broken, the son spared his life, and said to His Majesty, "You should kill me, so that you can sit firmly in the country and stop the old thoughts of King Yong. '." When Du Kang said this, his eyebrows were flying, obviously he admired Feng Qingran extremely.

Jiu Yao was dazed when he heard it, and he sighed after a while: "This Feng Qingran is really unrestrained and decisive, and he deserves to be a hero in troubled times."

Hearing this, Du Kang couldn't help turning his head to look at him, "Back then, there were only a few good generals and ministers under King Yong's account, so they couldn't compare with your Majesty and them. Not only the eight brothers and sisters are all famous generals, but their subordinates are also talented So many people, so at the end of the battle, the young master had no generals to send, no one to use, and Qingzhou was the city that was destroyed."

When Jiuyao heard this, he already understood the cause and effect, and couldn't help but sigh: "Is it because she thought that there would be no rift between siblings, and in the end she killed her own brother?"

Du Kang nodded, his eyes became gloomy and sad, "That evening, the setting sun was as red as blood. Young Master was sitting in front of the window. There was a pear tree outside the window, white as snow. She opened the courtyard door and came in. The first time their brothers and sisters met was also the time of their farewell. She used the Phoenix Mark Sword, and the young master's blood splashed on the pear blossoms. At that moment, her expression...as if she had killed herself. And All these years, I have hated her and guarded her... But today, I only wish her to be happy and peaceful for the rest of her life."

With complicated feelings in his heart, Jiuyao looked at Du Kang in a daze. The man in front of him is tall and handsome, with strong martial arts skills. He was originally an excellent man that many people would admire and appreciate, but he abandoned the prosperity and desires of this world, and acted indifferently and silently as the shadow of a woman, taking her worries and joys as his life. My own worries and joys.

"Why did you wait for her so far?"

Du Kang was silent, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "I was selected by Liu Shan as the dead man of Master Qingran since I was a child. Don't allow me to follow, entrust me to his sister, and entrust his sister to me, let us depend on each other. So I live with her, she hurts me and she hurts me, she grieves me and grieves, every year Adding up, if one day she can no longer bear it, I will take her away with a single sword."

Jiu Yao was shocked and speechless, staring blankly at Du Kang, his heart and mind were in chaos.

Du Kang turned his head and looked at Jiuyao. On that indifferent face was a pair of eyes that were as bright as cold electricity, "You stab her with a sword, and her face doesn't change. It's not that she is cold-hearted, but she is used to it." All the pain and suffering in the world." After he finished speaking, he ignored Jiu Yao and left, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
