Chapter 41: The hero is blackened

Chapter 41: The hero is blackened

The cold moon is in the sky, and the maple shadows are swaying.

Tao Jingyi, who ate a large bowl of glutinous rice meatballs for dinner, slipped out of the small courtyard to digest food under the moonlight after everyone dispersed.

She supported her full belly with one hand, and pinched her chin with the other, frowning in thought.

It is now the end of the month, and there is only half a month until the fifteenth of next month, that is to say, her "Su Xiyan" has only half a month left to live.

It's really sad.

Tao Jingyi let out a long sigh, and when he was walking under a maple tree, he suddenly stretched out a hand from the side, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into the maple shadow.

Because of this tremendous force, Tao Jingyi bumped into the tree trunk behind him, making him dizzy for a while.

The maple forest was like fire, and the moonlight was like frost. The boy with the high ponytail had a stubborn look on his face. He held her hands tightly, raised them high, and pressed them on top of her head.

"Sister." The young man's voice was low and hoarse, and the heat was on her cheek. The night wind blows the maple leaves, bringing a scent of wine.

He drank.

I drank a lot.

Tao Jingyi raised her head and met his eyes that seemed to be on fire. The eyes seemed to have warmth, and she immediately looked away.

He was as quiet as a chicken at the dinner table just now, so he was waiting for her here.

It's no wonder that Su Xiyan and Duan Feibai's marriage is such a big event, how could this little jealousy be as calm as it appears on the surface.

"Xingchen, calm down." Tao Jingyi said with a serious face.

"Sister is going to marry Duan Feibai, how can I calm down." Su Xingchen leaned over her ear, grinding a row of back molars, "Sister, I'm so jealous."

When eating just now, there was a faint sound of teeth grinding. She thought it was a mouse in the dining room, but it turned out to be this guy. Hearing the sound of him grinding his teeth, goosebumps appeared on the back of Tao Jingyi's neck one by one. She had no doubt that if he really annoyed Su Xingchen, he would tear off a piece of flesh.

"It's just a stopgap measure." Tao Jingyi struggled twice, but didn't move. The other party was younger than her, but he was a man after all, and possessed internal strength. Tao Jingyi was imprisoned in his arms, unable to move for a moment.

Tao Jingyi had two beautiful dimples on his face, and smiled at him: "Xingchen, you have always known my thoughts all these years."

An ambiguous lie, her face didn't blush and her heart skipped a beat when told.

Tao Jingyi smiled very beautifully, the smile reflected the bright moonlight, like a clear peach blossom coated with a layer of silver frost, which made Su Xingchen a little distracted.

His heart was burning hot, and he bent down and kissed Tao Jingyi's lips.

The moment Tao Jingyi pressed him over, she turned her head keenly, and Su Xingchen couldn't resist, the kiss was imprinted on her cheek.

A sharp pain came from her cheek, it turned out that the little wolf cub moved its teeth and bit her face.

Tao Jingyi's face was burning with pain, and she thought with lingering fear that it was thanks to her dodging, otherwise with this force, her lips would not have been bitten by him.

"Sister!" Su Xingchen pinched her chin with the other hand in anger, and leaned down again.

The strong smell of wine came over his face, Tao Jingyi stretched out his leg, and bumped his knee into the most sensitive place under him.

Su Xingchen let out a low cry, loosened his grip, covered the place where he was kicked, and fell down slowly.

Tao Jingyi was free, grabbed his cuff, wiped the drool on his cheek vigorously, and said fiercely while wiping, "You asked for it yourself."

Su Xingchen's face was pale, and he fell to the ground, curled up into a shrimp, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister, you are so cruel, I'm going to be crippled."

Tao Jingyi was taken aback. She had actually controlled her strength in that blow, the pain was painful, but it was not useless.

She stared suspiciously at Su Xingchen who was on the ground. Su Xingchen kept curling up, grinning in pain, and his pretty face was distorted.

"Really kicked hard?" Tao Jingyi's heart skipped a beat. It was related to the boy's future married life. She quickly squatted down, and as soon as she put her hands on Su Xingchen's shoulders, Su Xingchen's wrists were wrapped around her.

The boy raised his head, blinked at her, and showed a sly smile. Then, a burst of force came, and he was actually pulled into his chest by him.

Su Xingchen's fiery body rolled over from behind, imprisoning her in his arms. He held her waist tightly with one hand, wrapped her neck with the other, put his head on her shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "Sister, do you love me?"

"Let me go." Almost half of Su Xingchen's weight was on her body, especially his chest against her back. Even though there were several layers of clothes separating him, it was difficult to resist the fiery body temperature.

The boy's arms seemed to be on fire, and the fire burned all the way, almost reaching the bottom of her heart.

"Sister, don't worry, it won't be broken here." Su Xingchen tensed up, and his voice was extremely low.

"Will you let go?" Tao Jingyi raised his voice.

"Don't let it go, sister is mine."

"I'll say it again, do you want to let go?"

"Holding sister like this is the happiest thing in the world." Su Xingchen narrowed his eyes.

Tao Jingyi struggled, but didn't break free, she took the hand that was around her neck, and bit the back of Su Xingchen's hand while Su Xingchen was in a daze.

This bite was so powerful that Su Xingchen let out a cry of pain, and subconsciously let go of the force. Tao Jingyi took the opportunity to push him away, and dodged behind a tree.

Su Xingchen's face was really pale this time, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead from the pain. He put one hand on the ground, raised his head, and looked at Tao Jingyi in the shadow of the tree, with a look of ferocity in his eyes.

Tao Jingyi looked wary, and warned sternly, "Don't come here."

The boy laughed softly: "Sister, you are so cute."

It was so cute that I wanted to crush her and swallow her.

He raised the **** hand that was bitten by Tao Jingyi, licked the bright red blood with the tip of his tongue, his eyes were full of fire: "As long as it is given by Sister, even if it is painful, it is still sweet."

Tao Jingyi's body shook involuntarily.

Su Xingchen stood up, with a gloomy smile on his lips, and walked slowly towards Tao Jingyi.

Tao Jingyi stepped back step by step as if facing a formidable enemy. There was a wall behind her, she retreated to the end, her back touched the wall, and there was no way to retreat.

"Okay, stop making trouble, sister, father has something to ask us." Su Xingchen suppressed his gloomy expression, walked in front of her, raised his hand, and pressed it against the wall under Tao Jingyi's trembling eyes. Then, there was a sound of "Ka Ka Ka", and not far from them, a piece of ground sank, revealing a dark hole.

Su Xingchen held her hand, lowered his head, and pressed a kiss on the back of her hand without refusal, then led her and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

During the whole process, Tao Jingyi's legs were weak, guilty, nervous, and all kinds of mixed emotions entangled in her heart, making her covered in a layer of cold sweat.

When she was being led away by him, a gust of night wind blew in her face, blowing over her body, making her feel chilly.

Below the entrance of the cave are the steps that have been built. The moonlight is reflected on the steps. At first glance, one can only feel the depths.

Tao Jingyi vaguely remembered that this should be the entrance to the secret path of Hongfeng Villa.

There is a huge basement under the Red Maple Villa, which was dug out when the villa was first built and used for hiding in times of crisis.

After Su Xingchen led her into the secret passage, he raised his hand and pressed on the wall, there was another "clicking" sound, and the entrance above his head suddenly closed. The moonlight disappeared, and the eyes fell into darkness.

Tao Jingyi squeezed Su Xingchen's hand a little nervously.

The corners of Su Xingchen's lips curled slightly, and he led her along the deep tunnel.

After walking for a while, there was light in front of my eyes. In the dim candle shadow, a person stood in the middle of the dark room with his back to them.

Su Xingchen let go of Tao Jingyi's hand, cupped his fists at him and said, "Father."

Tao Jingyi hurried forward, and said softly, "Xiyan has seen Daddy."

Su He turned around, glanced at the two of them, and nodded slightly: "I just had some words at the dinner table that I couldn't say clearly, so I called the two of you here."

"Father has anything to say, just tell me." Su Xingchen said.

Tao Jingyi listened to the words of the two, but his eyes wandered in the dark room. Candles were lit in every corner of the darkroom, and there were many more of them in the vast basement.

In the original book, when Duan Feibai was a guest at the Red Maple Villa in the name of Su Xiyan's fiancé, he secretly found out all the mechanisms of the Red Maple Villa. Inadvertently, he discovered this underground dark room, and accidentally bumped into the conspiracy of Su He's father and daughter, and used his tricks to turn their wedding into a revenge field.

"Xiyan." Su He's voice sank a bit, "What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing." Tao Jingyi came back to his senses. She was wondering if there was a pair of eyes staring at them coldly in the dark at this moment.

"Open the box." Su He said again.

Tao Jingyi's eyes fell on the stone platform beside him, on which was placed a red brocade box. She walked towards the stone platform and opened the box. Inside the box was a string of Buddhist beads. She held the beads in her hand, her fingertips trembling a little.

This string of Buddhist beads is what Su Xiyan used to murder Duan Feibai on the night of her marriage in the original book.

"This poison is colorless and odorless. Even if Duan Feibai is under the apprenticeship of the medical immortal Xue Yi, he will definitely not be able to detect it. On the night of marriage, when you drink together wine, you only need to dip this Buddha beads into the wine." Su He's voice was calm There was no trace of waves, as if he was just talking about a very ordinary thing.

Su Xiyan has been by Duan Feibai's side for ten years, but he has gained nothing in ten years. Taoist Xuanfeng and Shangguan Qi both have opinions, and threaten to arrest Duan Feibai directly and torture him. Yu's whereabouts were persuaded by his rhetoric that "the overall situation is the most important thing".

After dissuading the two of them, he turned around and had his own plans.

Duan Feibai is the descendant of the old man Tianji, and he used the "Marrow Washing Sutra" to reshape the meridians. His martial arts are unmatched by ordinary people. Moreover, he was trained by an immortal doctor and is very good at poison art. It is not easy to catch him.

It is safest to give him a fatal blow only when he is most relaxed.

That's why Su He planned to take advantage of Su Xiyan and Duan Feibai's engagement to capture Duan Feibai in one fell swoop on the night of their marriage.

It's just that people have selfish intentions. Duan Feibai was really caught, but he didn't want to share the secret of the Phoenix Blood Jade with his two friends anymore.

"After he drank the Heying wine, the poison will attack and his martial arts will be ruined. It will be easy to capture him again." Su He said.

Tao Jingyi was calm on the surface, but there was a turbulent sea in her heart. Her fingers couldn't help but tightened two points, her voice was rough: "But Duan Feibai is the disciple of the old man Tianji, and something happened to him in Hongfeng Villa, we can't get rid of it." relation."

"I have ordered people to prepare a boat. Once he is captured, I will set fire to the Red Maple Villa and push the matter to the Puppet Villa. We will go to sea by boat. From now on, in the eyes of the world, we will only know that The Red Maple Villa was destroyed by the Puppet Villa.”

Tao Jingyi felt a chill in his heart. The century-old foundation of Hongfeng Mountain Villa, Su He burned it as soon as he said it. For the so-called magic medicine of immortality, this old fox is ruthless. I just don't know what expression he would have if he knew that the Phoenix Blood Jade was just a rumor made up by Yu Sangqing.

"Father's plan is very good, but Xingchen has a request, after being forced to find out the whereabouts of the Phoenix Blood Jade, can Duan Feibai be handed over to Xingchen for disposal." Su Xingchen said suddenly. Candlelight was reflected in the boy's eyes, and clusters of small flames danced in his pupils. His cheeks were hidden in the shadows, and he looked gloomy.

Su He glanced at him: "As you say."

Tao Jingyi looked at the two of them, and suddenly felt that the Buddhist beads in his hand were as heavy as a thousand catties, and he almost couldn't hold them.

If Duan Feibai was not the protagonist of this book, but just a supporting role, the plot would probably be that he happily married his bride, but what he received was a glass of poisoned wine offered by the bride, and his father-in-law was imprisoned and tortured endlessly...

"Sister." A hand suddenly covered the back of her hand and closed her hand in the palm of his hand.

Tao Jingyi raised his eyes, Su Xingchen had walked to her side at some point, leaned close to her, and said softly, "Are you softening your heart?"

"I didn't." Tao Jingyi subconsciously shook his head.

"I thought Sister's fake show was real, and I really fell in love with that part of Feibai." The young man licked the corners of his lips, his eyes darkened.

"How is that possible!" Tao Jingyi raised his voice, "To him, I am a liar."

"When I deal with Duan Feibai, Sister must watch from the side."

Tao Jingyi's eyelashes trembled violently, and he asked a lot: "What do you want to do?"

"Naturally cut off his flesh piece by piece." The young man's voice was dark, his eyes wrapped around her tightly like a poisonous snake, "I heard that in the process of Ling Chi, people will not die."

A strong feeling of vomiting hit Tao Jingyi's heart, and she regretted asking such a question.

When Su Xingchen was speaking, her eyes scanned the room several times. Although she didn't find Duan Feibai's trace, she knew that he must be hiding somewhere, watching them calmly and listening to how they murdered him.

Tao Jingyi was the last one to leave the dark room. When she left, she looked back several times. Su Xingchen walked in front of her, and after a few steps, he turned around and asked suspiciously, "Sister, what are you looking at?"

"I didn't see anything." Tao Jingyi withdrew his gaze and left with him.

Just after Tao Jingyi left, the candles in the dark room flickered, and then, a tall figure quietly appeared in the room.

That figure merged with the candlelight, and there was an extremely cold aura around him, even the dim yellow candlelight couldn't help but feel a little colder.

He has elegant eyebrows, but his expression is cold, and his eyes are covered with frost and snow, full of hostility.

With a "click", something broke in his palm.

It was a half-carved mahogany hairpin, the fine mahogany was carefully carved, and a blooming peach blossom hung at the end. Although it is only a semi-finished product, the petals are lifelike, which shows that the sculptor has put in so much effort, and it just broke in his hands.

The fracture was uneven, with faint debris falling down, very much like his heart, which was first cut open by someone, and then crushed to pieces, a **** mess.

His palms closed slowly, with such force that his nails were faintly white. The other end of the hairpin ruthlessly pierced into the palm of his hand, and the dark red bloodstains slid down his palm, dripping onto the hem of his snow-white clothes, blooming blood-colored flowers.

"Su Xiyan." He gritted his teeth and said the name, as if he wanted to crush her. He didn't know her real name, so he could only put these three words together between his teeth over and over again, chewing them up fiercely, engraved his hatred into the marrow of his bones, and dripped with blood from the pain.

The author has something to say:

The male protagonist who is venting black air: I thought you were different from her.

In the next chapter, the wind is coming to an end
