C280 It Was Confusing
"Why didn't you kill me?"
Wentian looked at Guxing's receding figure and asked in surprise.
Guxing didn't say anything and just continued walking.
"Don't tell me we don't even have the right to make you attack us!" Wentian roared angrily. Guxing's disregard had raised his spirits. It was a humiliation that came from the bottom of his heart. This feeling was ten thousand times worse than killing him.
This sentence finally made Guxing stop in his tracks. He turned around and looked at him, but didn't answer. Instead, he asked: "You clearly had the chance to cut off my head just now. Why didn't you make a move?"
"I. . . " Wentian immediately choked on his words. Then he sneered and found an excuse. "Heh, that's because I thought you were dead. Don't think that I'm pitying you. I just don't want to be used by the Feng family. If I knew that you were still alive at that time, I would definitely chop off your head as soon as possible!"
"Is that so?" Guxing stood there and said with disappointment. "Then I am the same as you. "
Wentian hesitated and said, "Wh. . . What?"
Guxing turned around with a smile. However, as he turned around, he cleverly opened his palm. Immediately, three strands of hair flew out from between his fingers.
"When I cut off your hair, you were already dead in my eyes. "
After saying that, Guxing turned around and left without looking back. Only Wentian was left sitting there with a stunned expression on his face. He wanted to say something but stopped himself.
After a long time, a burst of crazy laughter burst out from this place.
"Ha. . . Haha. . . Haha. . . !"
At this time, Guxing had already embarked on a new journey overnight.
"Why didn't you kill them just now?" The two of them sat on the same horse. Xiao Yue was the first to break the silence. "Could it be that your damn compassion is starting to stir again?"
Guxing shook his head and sighed. "The feeling they gave me. . . Unlike the others, they seemed to be a little more cordial. A little more comfortable. At least it made me feel like I'm still living in this world like a human. When I think about killing them, I simply can't do it. As for the reason, I'm afraid even I can't explain it clearly. "
When he said this, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Ms Yue, am I very stupid to actually show mercy to the enemy who wants to kill me?"
After a long silence, Xiao Yue nodded and said: "Yes, I am. "
Then, without waiting for Guxing's reaction, she added another sentence: "But he is very silly. He is cute and hateful. "
After he finished speaking, he transformed into a wisp of flowing light and returned to the Sword Spirit Space. When he heard this, Guxing's face was stunned. After that, the corners of his eyes and the corners of his mouth carried a smile.
Today was the fifth day since Guxing left the Great Chu. At the same time, in the depths of the Imperial Palace.
A beautiful girl was struggling to wave a long blade. After a few rounds, the girl was half-kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath. Her entire body was covered in sweat.
"I've practiced for a day, take a rest. " At this time, a dignified and beautiful woman walked over. She gently wiped away the sweat on her face and said with heartache, "What are you trying so hard for? When you go back, you'll break your body. "
"Mother, don't worry. I know what to do. It was getting late. Mother, you should go to bed soon. When Royal Father finds out, he will blame me again. "
As she spoke, the young girl ignored the woman's advice. She moved her feet and waved her saber again. The moonlight poured down like water in the courtyard, but the young girl was not affected by the beautiful scenery at all. She focused on practicing the saber techniques that her master had taught her. An indescribable stubbornness could be seen on her pretty face.
Seeing this, the beautiful woman couldn't help but tear up. She secretly wiped her tears away and turned around to leave, as if she was already used to her daughter's actions.
Not far behind them, a man dressed in fine clothes sighed softly. Then, he turned around like the beautiful woman, and disappeared in a few flashes.
The originally quiet night had undoubtedly become even quieter at this moment. In the courtyard, there was only the sound of the wind that was stirred up when the young woman brandished her saber, as well as the sound of heavy panting.
Two hours later, the young girl returned to her room tiredly. She was still tightly holding onto a saber in her hand. There was a faint profound light circulating on the saber, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary object. Under the moonlight, it appeared simple and ancient. At this moment, it was held in the young girl's arms like a treasure, and that was the only thing that her beloved had left for her.
"Mr Yeh, wait for me. Next time, Rouer will not be a burden to you!"
The girl said firmly while holding the knife. Then, she fell into a deep sleep. She had practiced for a day and was already exhausted.
After the girl fell into a deep sleep, an old man silently appeared in the girl's room. He saw the girl curled up and lying on the bed. The old man sighed and covered her with the blanket.
"It's the fourth day. . . "
The old man sighed with emotion. After which, he quietly disappeared. From the beginning until the end, the young lady had only quietly fallen asleep. As the night gradually deepened, it was as if nothing had happened at all.
In the Clear Shadow Hall, the light was still on.
"How's the investigation going?"
Chu Feng put down the memorial in his hand and asked.
The man was Ling Yun, but his expression was a little unnatural. "Your Majesty, this official sent people to search the Princess's footprints three days ago, but. . . "
Chu Feng immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Speak!"
"Yes!" Ling Yun didn't dare to be neglectful and answered truthfully," For the past three days, This official sent people to search day and night along the way, but they did not even find the corpse of an assassin from the Barbarian Tribe. They didn't even find any traces of a fight. Moreover, this official also sent people to the inn where the princess lived to inquire about it. According to the shopkeeper and the others, everything was normal at that time. No one had committed any crimes and the Emperor was also aware of the methods of the Hall of Justice. From the results of the interrogation, these people do not seem to be lying. "
"There is actually such a thing?" Chu Feng was clearly shocked as well, and said unhappily: "Have you found the corpses of Wang Dao and the others? Judging from their deaths, is it really difficult to find clues?"
"This. . . " Ling Yun smiled bitterly. "To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, this is the biggest suspicious point of the entire incident. Regarding the burial site of Wang Dao and the others mentioned by the Princess, this official also sent people to take a look. In the end, all that was seen was a flourishing field of wild Ziwei Flowers. This official even ordered people to dig three feet into the ground. However, he still did not discover anything. Furthermore, the ground was also old soil. It's unlikely that someone had tampered with it beforehand, so. . . "
"So, there are no assassins from the Barbarian Tribe. It was all because the princess colluded with that brat to deceive me. The so-called assassination was just a farce to deceive the eyes and ears of others. " At this point, Chu Feng suddenly smiled warmly. "Dear Minister Ling, that's what you want to express, right?"
