Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky Chapter 20: 、Feng Yin Yunxiao 2

※※※

Yuan Ding sixteen years, eighth day of October.

On this day, the Imperial Palace was lively and busy.

Eight of Dong Shixiu were finally reunited, and they were extremely happy. They all gathered in Lingxiao Hall, and they had endless words to each other, and they all cherished every moment of being together.

Concubine Feng is the busiest person in the palace. She has been in charge of the harem these years. Over the years, she has been in charge of all matters in the palace no matter how big or small. She is making the final preparations for tomorrow's birthday banquet.

Concubine Bei went out of the palace to Huamen Temple. Since she asked Dong Shixiu to go to Huamen Temple to pray for blessings, in the past ten years, she went to Huamen Temple every year on the eve of Dong Shixiu's birthday to pray for him.

The other concubines in the palace recruited their sons and daughters, and asked them to please their father's favor tomorrow. At the same time, they had to spend more time with the Seven Kings. After all, the Eastern Dynasty had not established a crown prince yet, and the Seven Kings won His Majesty's trust. A word of theirs is not as good as a thousand or ten thousand sentences of others. And this time King Xing not only took the decree to welcome the Seven Kings in person, but also had His Majesty's permission to enter the Lingxiao Palace to have a family banquet. This is really an unprecedented favor, you should be careful.

As for Feng Jianming, Feng Fengxiao, and Nan Chenghe, they were also very busy playing in the palace.

The entire imperial palace is surrounded by high walls into a huge square, which can be simply divided into three parts: front, middle and back.

The first part is the outer court centered on the Zhaoming Palace, which is the place where ministers go to court and participate in politics; Palace, Jitian Palace, Freehand Palace, Golden Rope Palace, Fengying Palace, Youyue Palace; the rear part is the harem where the concubines lived.

The three of Feng Jianming and his parents lived in the former palaces, so today's goal is to visit these eight palaces. I didn't finish my shopping until noon in the morning.

When coming out of the Golden Rope Palace, because there is a passage leading to the harem on both sides of the palace, and the one on the right is next to the Golden Rope Palace, so when the three of them came out of the Golden Rope Palace, Feng Jianming ran the fastest Quickly, when he ran out of the side door, he bumped into someone who was passing by.

At that moment, Bei Xuanji was returning to the palace from Huamen Temple, and a group of attendants were slowly heading towards Cuiyue Palace with a soft chariot, when Feng Jianming bumped into a servant who was walking in front.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, did the bump hurt you?" Feng Jianming rubbed his head and asked the person he hit.

The person who was bumped looked at him blankly.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Feng Jianming thought it was because he didn't feel any pain, and seeing that such a group of people didn't know each other at all, he dragged Feng Fengxiao and Nan Chenghe away.

Behind him, the man was still staring blankly, and on the soft chariot, Bei Xuanji looked at the child going away, and said softly: "This is the son of Qingzhou." She glanced sideways at the servant, "This child It looks very smart and cute, doesn't it?"

The man didn't make a sound, but just looked away, bowed his head and continued walking, just like every servant in the palace, respectful and humble.

Bei Xuanji didn't speak any more, and the group quietly left for Cuiyue Palace.

On that day, Feng Jianming and the three were tired from playing, and their final foothold was the Qilong Palace, so they lived in the Qilong Palace at night. Dong Shixiu gave up his dragon bed and ordered someone to carry it out. A couch is placed outside.

At night, he leaned on the couch, watching the three young boys on the dragon bed through a bead curtain, listening to their childish talk.

"I have a total of seven uncles, ah, no, nine uncles, my mother said there are two more uncles, but they are all dead. None of you have as many uncles as I do?" Feng Jianming showed off .

When Nan Chenghe heard this, he immediately lowered his head, because he only had one uncle.

Feng Fengxiao glanced at Feng Jianming, whose chin was raised even higher because of Nan Chenghe's lowered head, and then said lightly: "We have an aunt."

When Feng Jianming heard this, he immediately pursed his lips. Isn’t their aunt his own mother, and he doesn’t have an aunt, but then he thought of Xiangyi and said, “I have an aunt!”

Feng Fengxiao said again: "My mother has four sisters, so I have four aunts."

Nan Chenghe followed and said, "I also have two aunts."

After being compared twice in a row, Feng Jianming gave up and turned his head to ignore them.

Feng Fengxiao looked at him like that, secretly smiled, then took his hand and said: "I don't have an uncle."

Nan Chenghe also said: "I only have one uncle."

"Oh! I won!" Feng Jianming suddenly smiled.

Dong Shixiu also laughed when he heard that.

He thought, Seventh Sister was such a ghost when she was a child? Then he remembered the past long ago, when they had no place to eat and had nothing to eat, one time the sixth younger brother Hua Jingtai earned a chicken drumstick, the seventh younger sister and the eighth younger brother were vying for it, and the eighth younger brother said that the seventh The younger sister is the elder sister, so she should be allowed to let her go, but the seventh sister said that she was ranked seventh, next to the sixth brother, so the sixth brother's chicken leg should be given to her.

Thinking about it, he couldn't stop smiling. That night, the emperor of Dadong fell asleep with a smile, and he was also smiling in his dream.

In the dream, he returned to the youth, it was under Tianzhi Mountain, and the jade master was teaching them.

The third, fourth, and fifth brothers are always the first to understand and understand, but the sixth brother refuses to learn, saying that people who study will become stupid and will not make money in the future, while the eighth brother is under the table Secretly teasing the crickets, Seventh Sister is tearing up a book or folding a paper sword, and he... oh, he is worried that the jade master will punish Seventh Sister if he finds out, so every time Seventh Sister folds a paper sword, he puts it away and hides it in his sleeve ...

Inadvertently at the time, now revisiting it in a dream, I realize that it was a happy time.

The next day, the emperor of Dadong woke up with a smile. He opened his eyes, looked at the sky outside the window, and listened to the gentle and sweet breathing of the young men in the inner room. At that moment, he was joyful and happy, and he hoped that he could wake up like this every day in the future.

※※※

In the sixteenth year of Yuanding, the ninth day of October.

This day is Dong Shixiu's birthday, civil and military officials came to the palace to celebrate his birthday, and a birthday banquet was also held in Qinghua Palace, the number of seats and the ostentation were different from the grand ones in the past.

As noon approached, Dong Shixiu and the seven kings arrived at the Qinghua Palace. All civil and military officials knelt down to welcome the holy driver. After some congratulations, the feast began.

In the vast hall, Dong Shixiu sat at the head, and the seats of seven kings were arranged on his left and right sides, followed by the princes and the three young princes Feng Fengxiao, Feng Jianming, and Nan Chenghe. There are hundreds of civil and military officials, one seat per person, full of delicacies and fine wines.

Occasionally, the officials looked up and saw the emperor who was drinking on the jade throne, and watched him and the seven kings toast each other from time to time, and laughed loudly from time to time, which was unprecedented in all the feasts in the past.

Veteran ministers who have experienced the storms of the past will feel that His Majesty treats the Seven Kings differently. The courtiers who have never seen the seven kings are envious, and the courtiers are like the seven kings.

The melodious sound of silk and bamboo came slowly through the bead curtains, and the flowery court ladies danced lightly in front of the hall.

The birthday banquet did not end until Shenshi.

Out of the Qinghua Palace, Dong Shixiu and his younger siblings said: "It's been many years since I've had the same joy as today. If we go to Lingxiao Palace to drink again, we will definitely not get drunk forever."

How could the seven younger brothers and sisters not agree?

Dong Tianzheng asked his father and several uncles and aunts for instructions, and wanted to take his three younger brothers Feng Fengxiao, Nan Chenghe, and Feng Jianming to play in his Xingwang Mansion. Dong Shixiu and others naturally agreed, and Fengji, Feng Duying, and Nan Pianyue were also very relieved of Dong Tianzheng, and they didn't send any servants, and they each asked their personal bodyguards Shi Yan, Nan Gongxiu, and Li Li to accompany them. Xiao Shizi leaves the palace. Before leaving, Feng Jianming held his junior uncle Yu Shikuang's hand and asked his junior uncle to play together, so Yu Shikuang naturally had to accompany him.

The eight people from Dongshixiu transferred to the Lingxiao Palace. When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Nan Pianyue suddenly said: "I have learned how to brew wine from Xie Zhu over the years. This time I personally brewed a jar of fine wine and brought it to the imperial capital. It’s better to take one and drink it now.”

Hearing this, Dong Shixiu was overjoyed, "Okay, Xiaoba is going to fetch it quickly, let us have a taste of your craftsmanship."

"Yeah." Nan Pianyue nodded, turned and went to Youyue Palace.

"After the eighth brother said this, I remembered that I copied a prayer scripture for the elder brother, and I will also go to get it for the elder brother. It is better to give the birthday gift on the same day." Bai Yima said and turned around Went to the Freehand Palace.

Seeing that the two younger brothers had gone to collect birthday presents, Dong Shixiu turned to look at the remaining younger brothers, and said with a full face of ridicule: "Little Ba and Fifth Brother have prepared birthday gifts by themselves? You shouldn't Exception? What have you prepared?"

Huang Ti glanced at his siblings, then looked at his elder brother and said, "Jizhou produces a kind of marble, which is white in color and hard in texture. It is very rare. I chose a high-quality piece and cut it into a paperweight. My brother can use it for writing."

"Haha, something like the second brother would make." Dong Shixiu nodded, looking at Ning Yuan, "What about you, third brother?"

Ning Jingyuan smiled and said: "There are many mountains in Minzhou, so naturally there are many beasts. When I was hunting this summer, I hunted a few wolves and deer with good fur, so I took some tail hairs and made a few by myself. Lulanghao to Big Brother."

Dong Shixiu also laughed when he heard the words, "Haha, you have a paperweight and a pen. Fourth brother, you made the paper for the eldest brother yourself, right?"

Fengji shook his head and said, "I'm also better at planting flowers than my brothers, so I planted a pot of 'Snow Crane Orchid' for my elder brother."

Hua Jingtai didn't wait for Dong Shixiu to ask, scratched his head and said: "Anyway, brother, you also know that I am a layman, so I cast ninety-nine small birthday peaches out of gold, and I strung them together and put them on my belt It’s like making a belt for big brother.” After speaking, he went to look at Feng Duying, “Seventh sister, what did you do?”

Seeing that his elder brothers declared their birthdays one by one, Feng Duying turned his head to look elsewhere, and said, "I don't know how to make wine or plant flowers to make pens, so I don't do anything with my own hands."

"I don't believe it!" Several brothers shook their heads.

"Seventh sister, don't you tell me now, we'll find out after a while." Hua Jingtai looked at his younger sister and said, curious about what gift she had prepared.

"Hahahaha..." Dong Shixiu laughed and didn't ask any further questions. He just said, "You all go and get it quickly, so as not to forget it when you get drunk. The fifth brother is right, the birthday gift has to be given Give it on the same day, you guys brought it to make me happy today.”

He spoke, and the brothers obeyed naturally, and went back to the palace to collect birthday gifts.

Dong Shixiu and Feng Duying entered Lingxiao Hall first.

The floor-to-ceiling round window was the place the eight of them liked to stay in before.

Dong Shixiu took off his shoes and sat down in front of the window, then looked at Feng Duying, and said with a smile: "I don't believe that Fenghuang'er will make a birthday gift for eldest brother with his own hands. Come out, even if you catch a little turtle, the elder brother will not laugh at you."

"How is that possible." Feng Duying smiled, grabbed something from his sleeve, glanced at Dong Shixiu, a bit embarrassed, but still raised his hand and threw it to him.

Dong Shixiu stretched out his hand to pick it up, but it turned out to be a brocade bag, about three inches wide and half a foot long, with a bald eagle embroidered on the red satin, with black feathers and black eyes, spreading its wings, beautiful and fierce, very air.

"There is a kind of dwarf bamboo growing on Qianbi Mountain. The adult bamboo is about ten feet high. The bamboo poles and leaves are as green as jade, so it is called 'Jade Jade Bamboo'. When I was idle on the mountain, I used that bamboo to cut eight A short arrow, brother can be used as a concealed weapon." Feng Duying turned his head and looked out the window.

When Dong Shixiu received it, he naturally knew that there was something in the brocade bag, but seeing her explaining expression, his heart moved, and he was not in a hurry to look at the arrow, and said: "Could it be... this brocade bag is a phoenix. Did you make it yourself?"

As soon as he said this, Feng Duying's neck stiffened, and he still looked out of the window, but nodded.

Suddenly, Dong Shixiu stared at her with wide eyes, full of surprise, but Feng Duying kept turning his head and looking out the window.

"Fenghuang'er knows how to needle-chisel and embroider?" Dong Shixiu murmured after a long while.

This younger sister has been brought up by him since she was a baby. Whether it was in humble beginnings or in later life, she has never touched needlework, and she doesn't like female celebrities. When it comes to martial arts and weapons, That's rare that she can't. After living for decades, he really didn't expect that in this life, he could still see an embroidery work made by his sister, and it was given to him. How can you not surprise him.

Feng Duying seemed to be very interested in the naked plum branches outside the window. After drawing the eagle, I will fly the needle according to the drawing." She paused, and then said, "Didn't Uncle Liu's wife teach me the hidden weapon kung fu of 'flying the needle to draw the soul' back then? It's just right to embroider."

"Huh?" Dong Shixiu was taken aback again, "You used Mrs. Liu's unique skills to embroider?"

"Why not?" This time, Feng Duying turned around, looked sideways at Dong Shixiu, raised his chin slightly, and that expression was still that of the arrogant and self-willed younger sister in front of her brother many years ago.

"Hahahaha..." Dong Shixiu laughed heartily, "That's right, if the kung fu is in Fenghuang'er's hands, naturally Fenghuang'er can do whatever she wants!"

Feng Duying pursed his lips and smiled, apparently satisfied with his brother's words.

"Oh, he has such a skill that Fenghuang'er embroidered things by himself." Dong Shixiu suddenly sighed again.

When the king left the capital back then, Fenghuang'er had never touched a needle and thread, but now he can make such an exquisite brocade bag. He must have practiced it in these years. This shows the great influence of that Jiuluo man. . For a moment, he felt both ups and downs in his heart, and his feelings were quite complicated.

When the sour words came out, Feng Duying was not surprised, but said helplessly: "This brocade bag is the first and only female celebrity I made."

Suddenly, Dong Shixiu's brows and eyes stretched, and he was full of joy, "So, Fenghuang'er is a female celebrity who only learned it for the eldest brother?"

This time Feng Duying no longer followed him, turned his head and looked out of the window, "Brother, the birthday gift I gave you is the eight short arrows, this is just a bag for arrows, don't you look at me It’s a birthday gift, why just look at this bag.”

"Hahahaha... okay, big brother, let's see the birthday gift made by Fenghuang'er." Dong Shixiu naturally knew that his sister was having a fight, so he responded, and immediately took out a brocade bag from it. Put short arrows.

The short arrows were indeed eight, each about three inches long. Although short, the arrow feathers on the arrow body were cut very delicately. It looks like a weapon, but it looks like an exquisite ornament made of emerald jade.

"Xiu, Ti, Yuan, Ji, Yi, Jing, Shadow, Moon." Dong Shixiu recited the words engraved on the arrow feathers, eight characters for eight arrows, just like the eight of them. He rubbed every word on the arrow with his fingertips, then put the short arrow back into the brocade bag, looked at Feng Duying, with a gentle smile on his face, "Fenghuanger, brother really likes this birthday present."

Feng Duying looked back, seeing Dong Shixiu's expression, she was also happy, but said in her mouth: "Brother, you have to put it away, and I will do it this time."

"Well, keep it well." Dong Shixiu solemnly put the brocade bag in his arms, "But when the second brother and the others come, I have to show them this thing, so that they will be jealous too."

"Puchi!" Feng Duying couldn't help laughing, "Brother, don't let the ministers hear this, or you will have to laugh at the emperor of the Great Eastern Dynasty like a three-year-old child."

※※※

When Dong Shixiu put away the brocade bag, in the Diyan Palace, Huang Ti was taking out the box containing the marble paperweight from the cage, opened it for inspection, and then closed it, but just as he closed the box In an instant, he suddenly felt the chill on the back of his neck, almost unable to think. He quickly dodged sideways, and a sword light flashed across his chest. If he hadn't dodged just now, then the sword would have pierced his chest from behind!

"Who is it?" He asked while slamming his left hand towards the wrist holding the sword.

The person holding the sword is obviously a master, he missed a move, and quickly changed his move, the long sword immediately turned around and hit Huangti's neck.

With a throw of his right hand, Huang Ti threw the wooden box onto the desk, and at the same time leaned back to avoid the long sword that was cut, and then faced the assassin with all his strength.

The two matched up several moves like lightning, Huang Ti was secretly startled. Not only is his martial arts the highest among the eight, but it is also one of the few in the world, and this assassin can't fall behind in his moves. This kind of kung fu is already at the level of a top master, and he is pungent and vicious. He doesn't defend but only attacks. To take his life!

When Huang Ti was astonished by the assassin's martial arts, his stern shouting and the sound of fighting had already alarmed the attendants outside the hall, who hurriedly shouted, "There are assassins! There are assassins!"

Suddenly, the guards came after hearing about it.

But the assassin was completely unmoved, and continued to attack Huang Ti fiercely, as if he only wanted to succeed in the assassination, not sacrificing his own life.

"Take down the assassin with all your strength!" Huang Ti gave an order, and the guards rushed forward.

Huang Ti's kung fu was already superior to the assassin's, and with the help of his guards, the assassin had difficulty looking back and forth, and soon suffered several wounds, but he still ignored himself, and the long sword couldn't move without Huang Ti. It's just that his good opportunity was lost at this moment, and a moment later, he was hit by Huang Ti's palm on his right shoulder. When the long sword fell to the ground, the bones "clicked". Turning around and rushing towards the guards behind him, the guards unleashed their swords, "Puff! Puff!" Several times, several swords either slashed or pierced the assassin's body. Has slammed down.

"Ji Wang, are you alright?" a guard asked Huang Ti worriedly.

Huang Ti shook his head and looked at the assassin on the ground. The servant's attire, his ordinary face, is a person who will be forgotten in a blink of an eye, but has such superb martial arts, if he was a little slower in that sword just now, then he would be the one who fell on the ground now.

"Do you know this man?" he asked.

Several guards stepped forward to check, then shook their heads.

Huang Ti was full of doubts, who is this person? Why assassinate him? And how did they get into the palace? After a few thoughts, his chest twitched suddenly, and he immediately ordered, "Quick! Go and inform the commander in chief that there are assassins in the palace!" At the same time, he rushed out quickly, "Half of you follow me to Lingxiao Palace, and half of them went to inform the other palaces to see what happened to King Min, King Yong, King Bei, King You, and King Shang!"

"Yes!"

※※※

While Huang Ti was worried, Jinghai Palace, Jitian Palace, Xieyi Palace, Jinsheng Palace, and Youyue Palace all changed suddenly. When he led the people towards Lingxiao Hall, Dong Shixiu and Feng Duying in the hall also heard footsteps outside the hall.

"He came so soon, it must be the second brother." Feng Duying said.

"It's just that he moves quickly. According to the temperament of the sixth and eighth brothers, he will definitely arrive last." Dong Shixiu also heard the footsteps of someone outside the hall.

The two turned their heads to look at the door, and as the footsteps got closer, a figure stepped into the hall, but it was not Huang Ti, but a servant.

"Who told you to come?" Dong Shixiu frowned. Without his will, no one would dare to enter the Lingxiao Temple at will.

The servant did not answer, but walked slowly towards the two of them.

Dong Shixiu and Feng Duying's heart moved, and they got up quickly, but at the same moment, the waiter waved his hand, as if something invisible fell between them, Dong Shixiu didn't feel anything yet, But Feng Duying felt that there seemed to be an invisible barrier all over her body, imprisoning her.

"Bold! Who are you?" Dong Shixiu shouted.

"The person who came to look for your life." At the same time as the voice sounded, the body of the servant suddenly changed, which shocked Dong Shixiu - that person was Zeng Yulong and his fourth brother Fengji on Mount Jiuluo. Fighting people!

"The debt of blood on Mount Jiuluo is yours to pay."

The cyan spiritual energy overflowed from the man's fingers, turning into a chilly sword light. When the man waved his hand, it flashed like blue lightning, stabbing towards Shixiu to the east.

※※※

In Lingxiao Palace, the moment the spirit sword was drawn, in front of Xingwang Mansion, Yu Shikuang, who had just stepped off the carriage, suddenly paused and turned his head to look in the direction of the palace.

"Little uncle, let's go." Feng Jianming tugged at his hand, pulling him towards the steps of King Xing's Mansion.

Yu Shikuang broke away from Feng Jianming's hand, turned around and said to Dongtian: "You take them in first, I want to go back to the palace."

"What's the matter?" Dong Tianzheng stood in front of the steps and looked at him puzzled, holding Nan Chenghe and Feng Fengxiao with his left and right hands respectively.

"Protect the three of them well, I will send someone to tell you if there is anything." After Yu Shikuang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Behind him, Dong Tianzheng's heart trembled, and the hands holding Nan Chenghe and Feng Fengxiao tightened immediately.

"Brother Tianzheng, did something happen?" Feng Fengxiao raised his head and asked him.

Dong Tianzheng looked down at him, then shook his head, "It's nothing, come on, let's go in first." Then he greeted Feng Jianming who was staring at the direction where Yu Shikuang disappeared, "Jianming, don't stand there, Come in, your little nephew has been waiting for you for a long time"

"Oh." Feng Jianming turned around immediately and walked towards him quickly.

But Nan Gongxiu, Shi Yan, and Li Li looked at each other, and finally decided to follow Shizi. If something really happened, they would be the only ones around Shizi at this moment.

※※※

In front of the palace gate of the Palace of High Heaven, Huang Ti led the guards and flew over, and shouted from a distance: "Hurry up and **** the Palace of High Heaven!"

The guards in front of the palace were a little stunned, did something happen in Lingxiao Palace? But seeing that King Ji was so anxious, they hurried to open the palace gate, but just as their hands touched the knocker, there was a shrill cry, and the hands of the two guards who opened the gate were scorched black as if they had been scorched by a raging fire.

Huang Ti rushed to the front of the palace, seeing this situation, his heart tightened immediately, the guard who followed him wanted to go forward to open the door, he stretched out his hand to block it. Walking a few steps closer, looking at the closed palace gate, he drew out his long sword, raised his arm and slashed towards the palace gate. Wherever the sword light came, a burst of red light flickered. Like flowing through a furnace, red again.

"This...what's going on?"

The guards behind were surprised when they saw it.

Huang Ti frowned, tipped his toes, leaped two feet high, swiped his sword again in mid-air, but suddenly there was another flash of red light above the wall that seemed to have nothing. He studied under Yu Yantian, although he had never practiced spells, he could see this situation, and knew that someone must have used some spells to cover the Hall of Lingxiao so that people outside could not enter. The figure fell back to the original place, he looked at the closed palace gate, and clenched his fists, something must have happened in Lingxiao Palace!

"What the **** is going on here?"

"Your Majesty and King Qing have something to do with each other, what should I do?"

All the guards panicked and panicked.

Huang Ti suddenly grabbed a guard, "You, go to Xing Wang's mansion and find Taifu Yu!"

"Yes!" The guard hurried away.

"You stay here, don't act rashly until you come back!" He said another sentence, and flew towards Jitian Palace. Among the eight of them, only the fourth younger brother Feng Ji has the talent to practice magic arts, and he is the only one who has practiced magic arts with the Jade Master.

※※※

When there was chaos outside, the Lingxiao Palace was also extremely thrilling.

Dong Shixiu had a horizontal sword in his chest, and the sword light transformed from aura by the enemy on the opposite side hit him one after another in all directions, like an endless sword net, trapping him in the palace. He swung his sword to resist the incoming sword light, but every time he blocked it, a gap was left on the body of the sword made of fine iron, and when he ignored the sword light and jumped up, wanting to attack the enemy directly, he always The man waved his sleeves, and he could no longer move forward a foot away, as if there was an invisible wall blocking him. As a result, his skill was quickly exhausted, knowing that it would be bad for him in the long run, but at this moment, he was invincible in the battlefield, and he was helpless at the moment, and he was also worried about Feng Duying. Under anxiety, his body was scratched by several sword lights After a while, his skin was ripped apart, and blood flowed out!

On the other side, Feng Duying, who was imprisoned in the invisible barrier, was slashing and stabbing all around with the Fenghen sword, but he couldn't penetrate the invisible barrier no matter what. Looking up at Dong Shixiu, seeing his body was bright red, he was startled and in pain. But when they fought against the assassin, the guards at the gate of the palace didn't move. I'm afraid that today's matter is not easy, they can't stay here for a long time, and the other brothers in the palace don't know what's going on.

When she thought of this, she became even more anxious, and slashed around again, but it was all in vain. Seeing more and more scars on Dong Shixiu's body, she was so anxious that she suddenly withdrew her sword and used all her strength to hit it with her body! But as soon as her body hit the barrier, she was bounced back and fell to the ground. Anxious and angry, she stood up and slammed into the barrier with her sword again, only to be bounced to the ground again.

While rolling on the ground, I caught a glimpse of a blood splash on Dong Shixiu's back, and suddenly I was in pain, got up desperately and slammed into the barrier. The bloodstone phoenix feather that fell out of the phoenix also hit the barrier, and a blue light suddenly appeared, breaking through the invisible barrier. It was a spiritual power injected by Jiuyao after the phoenix feather was made, just to save her in a critical moment in the future. of. But at this moment, the barrier happened to be broken, and Feng Duying rushed out, almost without thinking, and stabbed at the man with his sword.

Although the man had never seen her, he seemed to know her movements. With his left hand holding a tactic, the aura between his fingers turned into a green arrow. She drives away.

Close at hand, under the eyes is a strange face, but the eyebrows and eyes let Feng Duying know who he is, and the sword that is stabbed suddenly slows down, but it is only a moment, but it is the realm of life and death—— on the opposite side The flying green arrow firmly sank into her chest!

In an instant, her chest was icy cold, her body swayed, and she hurriedly supported the ground with her sword, but then a sharp pain hit her chest, and her body couldn't help shaking.

The man was taken aback for a moment, as if he never expected such a result. And behind him, Dong Shixiu had already taken advantage of the gap to attack, he swung his right hand almost instinctively, and another five sword lights caged Dong Shixiu, but his people stood still, staring blankly at Feng Du Shadow, watching the blood gushing out of her chest.

Who is this person and why did he come, Feng Duying already knows when he sees his face clearly. She held the sword in her right hand, and pressed her left palm tightly to her chest. As her body swayed, she leaned forward and got very close to him at a certain moment, so close that she could see his pupils clearly, which were filled with sadness as thick as ink. and bored.

The moment she got closer, she said softly and inaudibly: "You killed me, my brother must be in great grief, just like the pain and hatred you have experienced before."

That person——Jiu Miao said nothing, just looked at her indifferently.

"Feng Er, how are you?" Dong Shixiu, who was entangled in the sword net, couldn't help asking anxiously when he saw Feng Duying standing so close to that terrifying enemy.

Feng Duying didn't answer, she stood firm and looked at Jiu Miao, "But if you kill them, then they won't have to experience this kind of pain and hatred anymore, instead they will be freed from it." At that moment, she Her eyes were as bright as the last firework in the night sky, brilliant and frightening, but——fireworks are fleeting.

Jiu Miao looked indifferently at the strange light rising from Feng Duying's eyes, and then he said calmly, "You were hit by the spirit arrow, but you didn't die immediately. It's a miracle that you supported until now. Thinking of saving their lives, this kind of friendship is commendable, so I agree with your words not to kill them, but—"

Feng Duying clenched his sword tightly, but apart from severe pain, his body was icy cold.

"I won't take their lives, but I will never allow their descendants to live a carefree life!" Before Jiu Miao could finish his sentence, he raised his finger and scratched the center of his brow, a stream of blood gushed out from between his brow, and all Fall into his palm.

"I use the body of King Jiuluo as a sacrifice, and my soul as a guide, to cast this blood curse, and those who fall under the curse will be extinct forever!"

As soon as the cold words fell, a **** arrow flew from Jiu Miao's palm and shot straight at Dong Shixiu.

"Brother!"

Feng Duying ran towards Dong Shixiu, but she was too far away from him. Seeing that the blood arrow was about to hit Shixiu in the Middle East, suddenly a figure flew into the doorway, blocking Dong Shixiu like a phantom of lightning , "Pfft!" The blood arrow shot straight into the forehead of the figure.

"Master Kuang!" Feng Duying screamed, and wanted to move over, but the cracking pain in her chest made it difficult for her to move, so she stopped and closed her eyes to adjust her breath.

But Dong Shixiu saw Yu Shikuang standing in front of him, swinging down the last sword light, and stretched out his hand to pull him away, but Yu Shikuang raised his hand to hold him down.

"I was caught by you..." Jiu Miao murmured, blood slowly flowed from his mouth, nose and eyes, and at the same time his body fell limply.

Yu Shikuang walked towards Jiu Miao and helped him up, "You used a taboo spell, but now you are backlashed, and your life is in danger, but what wishes do you have left?"

Jiu Miao's gaze swept across Feng Duying, and there was a little pity in his eyes, but in the end he just said calmly: "This is a blood debt, and it must be paid. This is the end of today."

Dong Shixiu first walked to Feng Duying's side, and saw her standing upright, as if nothing had happened, and immediately glared at Jiu Miao, "Who is it? Who is your helper in the palace?"

Jiu Miao smiled, "Just like me, someone who has a blood feud with you." After saying that, he closed his eyes and passed away.

Hearing this, Dong Shixiu trembled.

"Seventh Sister! Big Brother!" Feng Ji who came after that rushed into the hall.

Seeing that both of them were there, he breathed a sigh of relief. In a blink of an eye, he saw Jiu Miao, who had fallen to the ground and died. , "Shi Kuang, you..."

Yu Shikuang put down Jiu Miao, raised his hand to stroke the bloodstain on his brow, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and his tone was extremely flat, "The blood curse of the Jiuluo tribe cost their lives and souls, and the descendants of the cursed will die for generations Absolutely."

"What?" Dong Shixiu and Fengji exclaimed.

Yu Shikuang smiled indifferently, and said: "Don't worry, don't forget that our Yu family came from Jiuluo, how could Jiuluo's blood curse work on us."

"Really?" Dong Shixiu and Fengji were dubious.

"Fourth senior brother, please take a look at the injury of senior senior brother." Yu Shikuang glanced at the blood stains on Dong Shixiu's clothes, then turned to look at Feng Duying who was standing still with his eyes closed, "Seventh senior sister, how are you?" /

Feng Duying opened her eyes, and at that moment, all three of them felt palpitations because of her eyes, which were so bright, brighter than the brightest star in the dark night.

"Brother." She took a few steps back with her sword in hand, then turned to look at him, pressing her left hand tightly to her chest, "These years of wars and state affairs have made me feel very tired, I want to take a rest , and I promised Jiuyao that I would accompany him to roam the world. So can big brother send an edict to the world, saying that King Qing has passed away, and let me be lazy?"

Hearing this, Dong Shixiu, Fengji and Yu Shikuang were all shocked.

"Brother, can I be lazy for a few years?" Feng Duying looked at them with a smile.

In an instant, an ominous chill surged into the hearts of the three of them, making them feel as if they were falling into an ice abyss, and their despair almost made them unable to breathe, so that they could not speak at that moment.

"Brother..." Feng Duying called softly.

Dong Shixiu's body trembled uncontrollably, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't speak, as if his voice had been taken away by someone.

Feng Duying took a slow breath, "Brother, you love me the most...you will definitely agree, right?"

"A Ying..." Feng Ji staggered towards Feng Duying, but Feng Duying's gaze stopped him.

Feng Duying shifted his eyes and looked at him, looking at him deeply, as if his gaze could last for thousands of years, "Fourth brother, you will help me...help me persuade big brother, right?"

"..." Fengji opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound, he just felt as if his heart was being torn apart by sharp claws, and he gritted his teeth and nodded in the unbearable pain.

"Brother..." Feng Duying closed his eyes.

"Okay!" Dong Shixiu stared at Feng Duying, as if afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

"That's great, big brother, I knew you were good to me... I will come back to see you in the future." Feng Duying smiled softly, his eyes passed over Jiu Miao on the ground, and then at Yu Shikuang, Yu Shikuang nodded with a pale face, and got the promise. She stepped up and walked outside the hall. She walked very fast, as if being lifted by the wind, and went outside the door lightly.

Also at that moment, suddenly there was the sound of a bird singing "Hey! Hey!" in the air.

Jiuyao, are you here to pick me up?

She raised her head, and sure enough, she saw a blue shadow flying towards her in the sky, she arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye, and flew down from mid-air to the front of the hall.

"Jiuyao..." Feng Duying called him, and slowly walked towards him step by step.

On the back of the blue bird, it was Jiuyao who came day and night and walked down. The first time he saw the wind alone, he felt shuddering all over his body, but he stood firmly and faced the wind with a smile. Duying, "Aying, I'm here to pick you up."

"Okay." Feng Duying stretched out his hand to him, "From now on, I can be with you everywhere."

"That's great, Ah Ying." Jiuyao walked up to her and hugged her by the waist, "We're on our way now."

Dong Shixiu and Fengji stood at the door, watching them walk towards the blue bird, but they didn't dare to move a step, even though they knew that this might be the last time, this might be the last time, but they didn't dare to move Can't move, because their Phoenix will not die in front of them, they want to fulfill her wish!

"Phoenix..."

"Hey! Hey!"

The murmured call and the blue bird's whistle sounded at the same time, and then the blue bird flew up into the air with the two on its back, Fengji and Dong Shixiu chased after them.

Looking up, the big blue bird has already flown into the air. With a long cry of "嗄!", it flapped its wings and flew away, as if something had spilled on it, its face was warm, and Fengji raised his finger to wipe it, but it was fishy It was red, his head was down, and the ground was also sprinkled with blood like raindrops. He stared blankly at the red, looked at... seeing chaos in front of his eyes, and darkness in his heart. After a long time, he fell powerlessly to his seat on the ground.

"Phoenix... will definitely come back..." Dong Shixiu looked up at the sky, watched the blue birds fly away, watched them go away, and kept watching until finally disappeared without a trace. He knelt down with his head in his arms.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

A heart-piercing howl came from Lingxiao Hall, and the mournful sound shook the sky.

When Huangdi, Ningjingyuan, Baiyima, Huajingtai, and Nanpianyue arrived, only sores and sorrows remained in Lingxiao Hall.

"Where is Seventh Sister?" Hua Jingtai, whose shoulder was pierced by a long sword and was supported by Bai Yima, asked.

"Where's Seventh Sister?" Nan Pianyue was carried by Huang Ti, holding the wine jar that he refused to put down when he was assassinated, with blood dripping from his waist.

No one answered, and the Lingxiao Palace was dead silent.

※※※

After flying out of the imperial capital with Feng Duying, Jiuyao landed on a mountain.

He walked down the blue bird with Feng Duying in his arms. Feng Duying's chest was already bright red, and her white clothes had turned into **** clothes at this moment. Blood continued to seep from her chest.

"Aying..." Seeing this, Jiuyao felt cold all over his body.

He gathered his spiritual power in his palm, trying to stop the blood from gushing out, but there seemed to be an invisible huge wound there, no matter how hard he tried, it was useless. He knew that this kind of injury can only be done by members of their Jiuluo royal family who have spiritual power, and only his eldest brother Jiu Miao has such powerful spiritual power.

Feng Duying opened his eyes and looked at him, with a smile on his lips, "Jiuyao, it's great that you're here..."

"Aying!" Jiuyao covered her clothes, hugged her in her arms, and leaned against her, "I really shouldn't be lazy back then, I should have studied medicine with my second brother, so today, today... "

"Fool, you already know so many things, so you don't need to study medicine. A person who is too perfect will attract the jealousy of God." Feng Duying smiled softly.

Jiuyao also smiled softly, "A Ying, so in your heart, I am already such a good person."

"Of course." Feng Duying nodded slightly, "You are my husband, and the person I marry Feng Duying is naturally outstanding."

"Aying, I'm so happy to hear you say that." Jiuyao's face was full of joyful smiles, but his eyes were filled with moisture.

At that moment, Feng Duying, who was nestled in Jiuyao's arms, couldn't see his face, but could hear his happy laughter, so the smile on her face deepened slightly, "Jiuyao, I saw you today A man, although I don't know him, but I knew he was your brother at a glance, you are very similar... so... I didn't hurt him, but it's a pity... I entrusted him to Shi Kuang."

Jiuyao's heart sank, he took a breath, and then said in a relaxed tone: "Well, our three brothers have the same blood, so we are naturally similar. The one you saw should be the eldest brother."

"Oh, it turned out to be the eldest brother, so I missed the second brother." Feng Duying said with a hint of regret in his tone, "I've always wanted to see them..."

After hearing this, Jiuyao hurriedly said: "I saw my second brother the day before yesterday, and I will introduce him to you next time, but the two brothers are better than me, so Ah Ying must not fall in love with them."

Hearing this, Feng Duying smiled again, she nodded slightly, "Well, that's natural, no matter how good the others are, I only like you."

"Aying, you are so kind." Jiuyao hugged Feng Duying tightly, and put his cheek against her head, letting the tears flow silently, sinking into the cloud-like hair.

Feng Duying shook his head lightly, "Jiuyao, I always thought that I still have a lot of time... I made an appointment with you, but when I get old... I won't do anything, just be with you, go ..." She panted, and the scene in front of her eyes was a little blurry, "Jiuyao, I always keep my word, only to you... to you... to miss the appointment..."

"Aying, don't say such things." Jiuyao hugged her and gently stroked her face, "Look, you are still so beautiful, which means we are still young, so before the time comes, you Don't worry, it will be fine when we get goosebumps."

"Ha...you always make me happy...Jiuyao, I've been happy with you for more than ten years..." Feng Duying turned her head, blinked her eyes, trying to see clearly, Finally, Jiuyao's face was clearly imprinted in her eyes again, she was overjoyed, and a sweet smile appeared on her face, "Jiuyao, you have to know...for the past ten years, I..."

When she couldn't hold her breath, Jiuyao held her hand tightly and said, "Aying, I'm just like you. These ten years have been the happiest ten years of my life."

Feng Duying wanted to nod, but her head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, so she smiled again, but the smile was as light as a wisp of smoke floating in the sky, "I have killed countless people in my life...it is not surprising that today...and... ...I can meet you in this life, I can marry you...I can be with you until this moment...I am satisfied...I, Feng Duying, can conquer the world and make achievements in the first half of my life...I have this beloved man in the second half of my life Supporting each other... How many women in the world can be like this... I..."

"Aying..." Jiuyao closed his eyes, and buried his face in Feng Duying's hair the moment the tears welled up, only a low voice came out, "There is no second you in the world, And I can marry the unique you, and there is no other man in this world who can match my luck."

"Jiuyao..." The eyes were blurred again, Feng Duying struggled to raise his hand, groping.

Jiuyao held her hand and put it on her face. Feng Duying felt the warmth and moisture in her palm, and a sad pain suddenly surged in her chest, which had lost all feeling. She murmured, "Jianming has seven An uncle, and Nangong...I am very relieved...but...the only thing I am worried about is you...only you...what will you do if I leave?"

"Fool." Jiuyao kissed her hand, then bowed his head to kiss her brow, kissed her lips, and then whispered in her ear, "We will be together, we will always be together."

The pain in the chest gradually disappeared, and everything around became so quiet. Feng Duying only felt that everything was so blurred. The mountain is separated from the sea, far away and misty, and in an instant, Feng Duying felt a surge of strength in her heart, so that she suddenly grasped Jiuyao's hand tightly, as if she could never be separated.

"Jiuyao...Let the blue bird accompany you...to..."

Her murmur gradually disappeared, she slowly closed her eyes, and slowly loosened her tightly clenched hands...

When the white and blood-stained hands fell powerlessly, Jiuyao's heart fell heavily into the dark and cold abyss.

He looked down at his lover in his arms, his face was pale and calm.

He watched quietly, obsessively, after a long time, he hugged her tightly, as if wanting to strangle her into flesh and blood.

"Aying!"

"Aying!"

On the top of the mountain, Jiuyao hugged Feng Duying and called out one after another, but no one responded.

The world is still the same, but there is no white phoenix roaring proudly in the sky, and there is no heroic Phoenix King of Qingzhou in the world.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!"

The blue bird spread its wings and flew into the air, making a mournful cry, as if it already knew that its mistress had left forever.

The setting sun is like blood, gradually sinking to the west.

The evening wind is howling, chilling the bone.

Sitting on the top of the mountain for a long time, holding the deceased lover in his arms, he has been sitting quietly, with a blank expression, his eyes are full of emptiness, and a line of blood is slowly dripping from his lips.

Time flows slowly, and night falls slowly.

A round of pale moon rises high in the sky, and the cold silver light falls, illuminating the quiet hills and the dead mountain top, two figures lie with their necks crossed, like dead mandarin ducks.

In the vast night, someone rode a big eagle against the wind. He looked at the two people on the top of the mountain, and at the blue bird that kept screaming beside him, and finally tears welled up in his cold eyes.
