Chapter 425.
Li Tianyu drifted off.
Coming up to cry!
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed right.
Although it was said to be a casual encounter, after all, she had been in danger ever since she started seeing this person.
The assassins of the Second House had been chasing her.
It was not easy to rush to the Autumn Clan, but it turned out that all of the people of the Autumn Clan still seemed to have gone crazy.
Now that the eldest son was still alive or dead, she was left as a widow and orphan.
When she thought of the future, it was inevitable that her heart was apprehensive.
After all, it is a woman …… who wants to find a place to cry for a while, it is normal.
Only Li Tianyu a little embarrassed ……
People so cry, their own dry look on the side does not seem to be such a thing ah.
To not say something, comfort?
But Li Tianyu feel, he even speak on weekdays are quite difficult …… He does not understand the human world, it seems that feelings are also very indifferent.
There were times when he was more concerned about ”Li Tianxin”, but most of the time, it felt as if there was no difference with or without him.
Previously, ‘Li Tianxin’ went out to do business for a long time, he felt that as a younger brother, he should inquire about it, which is why he went to find Jiang Ran to inquire about it.
But in reality, the real worry was as if there was nothing at all.
At times like this, he thought about the past that Li Tianxin had told him about.
A child raised by a killer, a little bit of emotional indifference, seems to be an unusual reason.
Can not speak, emotionally indifferent …… there is no way to empathize with Bai Lu, comfort words, but also inevitably tedious and empty.
But …… looking at Bai Lu s tears, he was inexplicably a little less comfortable.
Therefore the comforting words didn’t come out, what came out of his mouth was:
“Don’t cry.”
The voice was a little cold, and the child in his arms seemed to be startled.
Opened his eyes, confused and about to cry.
Bai Lu hurriedly gently coaxed and comforted, feeling his mother’s temperature and breath, he fell back into a deep sleep.
After waiting for the child to settle down, Bai Lu then reached out and wiped away the tear tracks on his face and smiled:
“Being mesmerized by the sand, making you laugh.”
“Oh.”
I didn’t come up here to cry.
I thought wrongly.
The heart secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Bai Lu’s soft and weak voice then once again rang in her ears:
“What’s your name?”
“Ah?”
Li Tian Yu glanced at her and had the intention of not answering, but being looked at by Bai Lu, he opened his mouth under the influence of a ghost:
“My name is Li Tianyu.”
“…… Li Tian Yu? Who told you, you called Li Tianyu?”
Bai Lu subconsciously asked after him.
“Hmm?”
Li Tianyu frowned slightly:
“What kind of words are these?”
Bai Lu froze, bit her lip, and let out a bitter smile:
“Yes, who else could it be? Naturally, your parents and relatives told you ……”
“I …… don’t have any parents and relatives.”
Li Tianyu said, suddenly remembered the brother who didn’t know when and disappeared with that girl who liked to wear white clothes.
Then added:
“There is only one older brother.”
“Brother?”
Shirou’s eyes lit up:
“What’s his name?”
“Knight Tianxin ……”
“Li Tianxin?”
Bai Lu’s brows furrowed slightly, vaguely feeling as if this name sounded familiar.
However, she couldn’t think of where she had heard it before.
However, this was not where she cared about in the first place, she looked at the bow and arrows on Li Tianyu and asked:
“Your archery is so powerful, who taught you? Your brother?”
“No …… he is the same as big brother, using a sword ……”
Li Tianyu said this, his brows frowned, not understanding why he had asked.
Obviously this woman does not know martial arts, but it seems as if she has let herself be enchanted, what she asks, what she answers.
But although his heart was thinking this way, his mouth seemed to go against his will:
“My archery skills ……
“I don’t know where I learned it.
“I lost those memories.”
“Memories? What happened to your memories?”
Bai Lu’s face revealed a look of concern.
This made Li Tianyu a little less comfortable and after thinking for a moment, he said:
“I’ve lost my memory …… a lot of things I don’t remember. It was all told to me by my brother and big brother ……
“He said that I grew up with my elder brother, and then the two of us brothers were separated.
“I was rescued by a wicked man and learned a skill.
“He, on the other hand, was always looking for me …… Later, by chance, he found me.
“But after a big battle, I also lost my memory.
“Since then it has been muddled to follow the side of the big brother …… big brother, and there is always no lack of danger, but with him, any danger can also be easily passed.
“What’s more, without waiting for us to find out where the danger is, he has already solved the hidden danger.
“Just like that, the days went by day by day, and then it came to now.”
“So that’s how …… I thought …… it was.”
Bai Lu said, her eyes slightly reddening again.
Li Tianyu wondered and reached out his hand to feel it:
“It’s not windy tonight, why are you always mesmerized by the sand?”
“……”
Bai Lu first froze, then but then laughed, a little bitterly.
She took a deep breath and her eyes fell on Li Tianyu’s body:
“Young warrior Li, shall I tell you a story?”
Li Tianyu felt that he had already passed the age where he had to listen to a story at night in order to sleep, and he wanted to rebuff, but it was still the same damn ghostly thing.
He actually nodded his head:
“Fine.”
After saying that, he hated that he could not give himself two big mouths.
It felt like he was more than likely compelled tonight.
Could it be that Wu Di did it? Just to see his own joke?
But Wu Di was clearly still secretly monitoring those few monks from the Da Fan Zen Academy.
These monks are more likely to be enemies than friends.
The ones that followed Jiang Ran, it’s hard to say if they’ll come back alive.
The remaining two, what will happen in the end is yet to be seen.
Wu Di is staring at this time, but also for the sake of subsequent cooperation surprisingly well prepared.
Bai Lu didn’t know that he had thought so much in his mind in an instant.
After she pondered slightly, she then said:
“A long time ago, there was a pair of childhood friends.
“Their parents, when they were not yet born, made a covenant to be married by finger.
“And afterward, it was indeed by fate that one of them did give birth to a boy and the other to a girl.
“Only the girl was two months younger than the boy.
“They were very affectionate, and from the time they could walk, the girl was always following the boy around and following in his footsteps.
“The boy was very naughty, going up trees to dig out birds and down rivers to touch fish.
“When the girl was afraid to go up the tree, he laughed at him from above ……
“The girl dared not go into the water, so he stood in the water and laughed at him.
“There are times when the girl clearly feels that he is the first hateful person under the sky.
“But if she didn’t see him for a day, she would feel sad in her heart.
“Can’t help but want to go to him.
“And after he …… has laughed at her, he always gives this little sister the eggs he brought out of the bird’s nest and the fish he caught from the river.”
Li Tianyu listened with furrowed brows.
Originally, he thought he should be impatient.
After all, what with the drama of fingering for marriage, it had been written about a little too much.
Tian Miao Miao is even idle, like to hold a talk book in that read, Li Tian Yu sometimes also curious, and then sneak to go along with the talk book, read a couple of eyes, then feel dizzy head want to sleep.
Then hurriedly this suspected drugged broken books, and secretly put back.
Tian Miao Miao knew nothing about the whole process.
Now this story of Bai Lu’s, still with this cheesy opening, made him subconsciously want to yawn.
But to his surprise, listening to it, he seemed to be able to see some images.
The tree was tall, and the boy should not have wanted the girl to come up when he laughed at her, and he would have been worried if she did climb up.
Why did he give her the bird’s egg he had pulled out?
Because she was crying so hard.
But when she saw the round bird egg, she held it in her arms as if it was a treasure, smiling in such a pure way, calling out to the heart of the people to say that they could not say what was penetrating.
Li Tianyu gently shook his head and felt Bai Lu’s voice pause for a moment.
Then he couldn’t help but open his mouth:
“Later?”
“Later ……”
Bai Lu took a deep breath and said:
“Later, something happened …… The boy’s family, was originally powerful and influential, working as an official in the dynasty, and the official also did a great deal.
“But, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger.
“No one knows when this tiger will hurt someone.
“Perhaps because of a small unpleasantness, a little friction, a hint of disobedience. Or, just because there are good things at home, attracting people’s eyes ……
“Exactly what kind of reason, at that time I was too young to know.
“Anyway, the emperor suddenly ordered the boy’s family to be decapitated.
“The girl’s family was a family friend with his family, and although the family was far inferior, it was also affected by this matter.
“That night, the girl was still in a beautiful dream when she was suddenly picked up by her family members.
“Without waiting to understand what was happening, she went all the way out of the mansion through the back door.
“All the way to go, go, go ……
“The girl asked those around her why they were leaving.
“They didn’t answer her, they were just silent.
“The girl was afraid, thinking they had born evil intentions and deliberately robbed their masters, wanting to threaten the girl’s parents.
“But the men remained silent in the face of questioning.
“Until an official soldier suddenly jumped out and wanted to kill …… the girl realized that the situation seems to be different from what she thought.
“That journey was tough ……
“From the very beginning, there were a dozen people around.
“Until later, there were only two people left.
“Both of those men would have been very young then.
“But until they got to a safe place, there wasn’t a good piece of flesh left on them.
“Blood-soaked, one bloody footprint at a time.
“Finally it seemed as if it was by sheer force of will, with all their might, that the girl was brought to a hidden valley.
“Two young guards were responsible for raising the girl together.
“Unfortunately, the girl’s talent was limited, and she could not learn profound martial arts.
“The good thing is, if you can’t do martial arts you can still read, and you can still learn schemes and mind tricks.
“Although she didn’t learn very well, and in the valley, the environment was quite hard, but still, she was strong and grew up to be an adult.
“And the two young guards of that year became married in the process.
“They gave birth to a boy, who has been the girl’s brother ever since.
“It was also at this time that the girl realized what had really happened back then ……”
As she said this, she looked up at Li Tianyu:
“Back then, that boy’s family had a heirloom treasure.
“The Emperor thought that he was the Son of Heaven, and that all the exotic treasures within the borders of the country should be owned by him.
“But after several hints, the boy’s parents were unmoved.
“The rage in his heart was so great that he falsely accused the boy’s family of treason and killed all nine of them.
“The girl’s whole family died as a result, and she was the only one left in the family.
“She wondered if her fiancé, who used to dig out birds’ eggs and catch fish for her, was still on earth.
“She preferred to believe that he was still alive …… and would one day use the family’s martial arts to personally behead that dim-witted ruler on top of the dragon chair.
“But she can’t expect ……
“She can only burn incense and pray for him day and night, hoping that he will be safe and sound.
“And then wanted to take revenge in her own way.
“To avenge the blood of the whole family, to avenge the blood of that boy’s family.
“She plotted step by step, considering which party could possibly be her aid.
“She can’t keep her honor for him; she married and had a child.
“She hopes she can use that to give herself a greater voice and more power.
“It’s hard …… it’s treacherous, and perhaps she’ll never be able to do what she ultimately wants to do in her life.
“But she can only take it one step at a time ……”
Her words came to this point, and she completely stopped moving.
Li Tianyu waited for a while and did not see any follow-up.
Then he couldn’t help but ask:
“What about later?”
“There is no later ……”
Bai Lu let out a bitter smile:
“Not all stories have endings.
“Some are destined to be fruitless …… some, are still walking on the road to the end.”
Li Tianyu was confused a bit not quite understanding what this meant.
Just nodded:
“A very …… interesting story.
“Many thanks to Young Lady Autumn for telling me the story.”
Bai Lu’s eyes were a bit disappointed as she sighed softly:
“It’s okay ……
“Some things are destined to be fruitless.
“Like this, it’s actually quite good ……”
“Hmm?”
Li Tianyu felt that Bai Lu’s words seemed to mean something, but he couldn’t understand them.
Bai Lu just smiled:
“No matter what, whether …… it is or not.
“I’m all very happy to see …… see you people.”
This was even more inexplicable, but on second thought Li Tianyu felt that Bai Lu really should be happy.
If she hadn’t met Jiang Ran, she would have died long ago.
This was naturally something to be happy about.
Thinking of this, he was about to speak when he heard a voice coming from the other side:
“It is an honor to receive such words from Young Lady Qiu.”
Bai Lu’s heart tightened, but Li Tian Yu was instantly happy:
“Big brother.”
Jiang Ran nodded and took a step to the front, glancing at Li Tianyu and then at Bai Lu:
“Young Lady Autumn, this child is still young, the wind is cold at night, it’s better to come to the roof less often to blow the wind.”
“Yes ……”
Bai Lu nodded:
“Eunuch Jiang is right.”
“But since we’re here, we won’t delay this moment.”
Jiang Ran said to Li Tianyu:
“You go down and rest first, I’ll keep watch here, besides, they’re all back, let everyone rest early, we’ll have to leave here tomorrow.”
“Yes.”
Li Tianyu agreed and rolled over and went down to the room.
Only then did he realize that his entire attention had just been focused on that story.
He had forgotten to alert the surroundings.
So much so that he didn’t even know when Jiang Ran and the others came back.
Just thinking about that story, Li Tianyu’s heart suddenly became a little indescribably difficult to say.
It was as if there was a big stone, betting on his chest, making him breathless.
And at this moment, Jiang Ran and Bai Lu were standing opposite each other on the roof.
Each was silent.
The first to break the silence was naturally Jiang Ran, who smiled dumbly:
“If Young Lady Autumn wasn’t holding a child in her arms, but instead holding a sword, this pair of moons in the sky, standing above the roof facing each other, it would be as if two great masters wanted to compete in martial arts.”
“…… When did Mr. Jiang come back?”
Bai Lu heard Jiang Ran open his mouth first, but also no longer polite, directly asked the doubt in his heart.
Jiang Ran said softly:
“During Young Lady Autumn’s storytelling.”
“……”
Bai Lu’s face changed slightly.
“Miss Bai …… Well, no, I should actually call you Miss Cheng, right?”
Jiang Ran said softly:
“I’ve already heard the specifics from Second Prince Qiu.
“The Cheng Clan of the Imperial Capital is only known to no one today.
“For him to be able to investigate all the way to this extent based on clues and clues is truly extraordinary as well.
“Miss Cheng Lu has gone to great lengths along the way, and she is trying to borrow the Qiu Clan to reverse what happened in the past?
“Unfortunately, that seems far from enough.”
“Mr. Jiang, I can’t understand what you’re saying.”
Bai Lu said faintly:
“A story is a story, son should not bring it into reality.”
Jiang Ran laughed dumbly:
“That is, then I guess the girl doesn’t mind if I spread this story, all over Jianghu, right?”
“…… What exactly do you want to do?”
Bai Lu’s face finally sank:
“He lost his memory, is it because of you guys?”
“You’re right.”
Jiang Ran said:
“Initially, I had wanted to kill him directly.
“After all, he’s an assassin from the Lifeless Building, so he’s not worth dying for.
“But I didn’t expect that he suddenly lost his memory …… so that Fang was lucky enough to pick up a life.
“I advise the girl had better not act rashly, and do not look for him to tell any more stories.
“After all, he won’t believe it unless you tell him the truth.”
In an instant, Bai Lu’s anger dissipated cleanly, and her entire being was like a deflated ball of leather.
She slowly closed her eyes:
“Even if I tell him, what can I do?
“I am now married to another woman …… and he no longer has the slightest relationship.
“Isn’t it good for him to forget all this?
“Better than, every day, open your eyes, will find that you have a no matter how can not kill, but as in any case want to kill the enemy, in that indulge in song and dance, enjoy at will good.”
She let out a long breath as she spoke:
“Now, you already know my secret …… What do you want to do, although straight say it.”
“The girl has misunderstood.”
Jiang Ran gently shook his head:
“I know this purely because I’m curious, and it doesn’t count as interfering with the girl’s work.
“Moreover, if I don’t remember wrongly, the Emperor of the Green Country has already died a long time ago, right?”
