The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 49 Falling off a cliff

Time is like water, and January flies by.

Murong Yunyao returned to Bianliang, and once again walked into this familiar yet unfamiliar city, she couldn't help feeling a little emotional.I don't know if she is used to walking all the way, or she is still thinking about Yun Zixiao in her heart, but she didn't go back to Nanqing Palace directly, but walked towards Bianhe Street by accident.

At this time, it was still early, and the traffic on Bianhe Street was bustling, and there was a sense of crowding each other.Murong Yunyao lowered her head and walked slowly along the flow of people, thoughtful in her heart.

Unknowingly, she was pushed to an extremely luxurious jewelry store by the crowd. She didn't intend to stay, but her eyes were attracted by the hem of a snow-white robe, and she couldn't help looking at the owner of the robe.

Murong Yunyao originally thought that the owner of the robe must be a stranger, but what she saw when she looked up was Yun Zixiao's stern and elegant face.Reunited with him under such circumstances, Murong Yunyao was stunned for an instant, and did not recover for a long while.

Yun Zixiao also saw Murong Yunyao in the crowd at this time, he didn't rush forward to meet him like before, but turned his head subconsciously, as if he was afraid of being discovered by her.Murong Yunyao didn't react until she saw this, she walked up to Yun Zixiao in a few steps, and said softly, "Brother Yun, why are you here? Could it be that you are choosing jewelry for me?"

"Sister... sister, you..." Yun Zixiao was able to answer fluently in the court in the past, but now he stammered.He tried his best to calm down and said, "Sister, I haven't seen you for a few months, where have you been?"

Murong Yunyao pointed to the southwest direction and said, "After parting from you that night, I met a little girl named Anian. She asked me to help her find her sister. I thought it would be easy, so I agreed. But Unexpectedly, I went all the way to Yongzhou with the followers of the Chaos Cult, and also went to Dali for some other things. Although this trip was very dangerous, fortunately, with the help of an expert, I saved the danger and returned safely."

Yun Zixiao didn't seem to listen to what she was saying at all, he just stared at the sword behind her, not knowing whether it was excitement or hatred in his eyes.Murong Yunyao had never seen him with such an expression before, and she was taken aback in her heart.

Murong Yunyao waved his hand in front of Yun Zixiao's eyes, "Brother Yun, what are you looking at?" Then following Yun Zixiao's gaze, he looked at the sword behind him, and said with a smile: "This sword is the one who It was given to me by an expert in the world, it not only looks good but is also very sharp!"

Yun Zixiao looked at the sword with hatred, and said for a long time: "Murong Yanyun is still alive? Where is he now?" His voice was not only very cold, but also hidden endless anger and killing intent, which made one's hair stand on end.

Murong Yunyao's face changed slightly, obviously she was frightened by him, "Brother Yun, you mean the old man who gave me the sword is Murong Yanyun, the former Emperor of Yan Kingdom?"

Yun Zixiao's eyes became blood-red, and his tone was almost crazy, "I will never admit my mistake, this is the Heaven Chasing Sword that helped him to dominate the world! Tell me quickly, what does the old man you are talking about look like? Where is it now!"

Murong Yunyao recalled the appearance of the old man Four Wuguai, and recounted it in detail as much as possible. The more Yun Zixiao heard it, his expression became more and more stern, and finally said angrily: "Yes, it is him! I didn't expect him to be alive! It was because of him back then. , my father was forced to fall off the cliff. Later I heard that he was dead. I only thought that this revenge would never be repaid. I never thought that God has eyes, but he has survived to this day. I swear that one day I will kill my enemy with my own hands, for my father. Revenge and revenge!"

As Yun Zixiao said, he held the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand, his knuckles turned white in an instant, and there was a soft "clack" sound.Seeing this, Murong Yunyao hurriedly said: "Brother Yun, that old man is a good man, I think there must be some misunderstanding."

"A good guy?" Yun Zixiao nodded with a sneer and said, "Murong Yanyun is indeed a good guy, but he is a rotten guy, an out-and-out fool! Back then, Zhao Pu used tricks to cause a plague in Liaodong, and drove out the refugees in Song Dynasty to starve to death. To Liaodong. At this time, there is nothing wrong with Kaesong’s disaster relief, but Murong Yanyun is a woman’s benevolence, regardless of the tightness of the national treasury, and opened a warehouse for three years. My father advised him to restore the country's strength. A good woman cannot cook without rice, so my father had to temporarily borrow the gold and silver from the tomb of Murong Ren, Lord of Liaodong at the time of Wuhu, in order to quickly fill the treasury and prevent the Song army from invading. But Murong Yanyun Said it was ill-gotten gains, and reprimanded my father for this reason, and even kicked him out of the court in a rage. If it weren't for this, the world at this time would have already been ruled by Dayan, and my father would have been crowned king and prime minister , How can I go to Huangquan!"

Yun Zixiao was so excited that he couldn't take care of much anymore, and poured out all his anger.Passers-by only thought he was a lunatic, and they all stayed away. Only Murong Yunyao felt sorry for him, and said softly: "Brother Yun, these things are over. People should live for themselves, not for hatred. Who can explain the reason for this?"

"Maybe..." Yun Zixiao sighed, his expression became cold again, he took Murong Yunyao's hand, and said: "Sister, you just came back, I shouldn't have said this to you! There is a seat not far from here Zixian Mountain, the peach blossoms on the mountain have already bloomed, do you want to go to enjoy the flowers together?"

Murong Yunyao nodded, "Okay, but every time I go out with my brother, I am very afraid, afraid that we will break up, and afraid that you will return to the border alone on the way. Do you know? I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that I will never see you again after death!"

Yun Zixiao smiled slightly, and pulled Murong Yunyao into his arms emotionally, "I know, I have already taken leave from Master Zhizhou, this time I must have a good time with my sister."

Murong Yunyao smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder, and put her hands on his chest naturally, but she felt a hard ring on his chest, and she instinctively told her that it was a jade bracelet worn by a woman.She felt a little surprised for a moment, but then she remembered Yun Zixiao's expression when she saw him just now, and her expression froze for a moment.

"Brother Yun, did you buy the thing in your arms for me?" Murong Yunyao asked, but Yun Zixiao trembled slightly when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "No, a friend asked me to buy this jade bracelet for him. Yes. If you like it, I'll buy another one for you."

Murong Yunyao frowned slightly, and asked: "Is this friend a man or a woman? But no matter if it's a man or a woman, I shouldn't ask you to buy such things! You won't know another girl again, right?"

Yun Zixiao shook his head, looked at Murong Yunyao, and said sincerely: "Sister, although our lanterns were not lit during the Shangyuan Festival, that promise has been engraved in my heart, and I can't tolerate anyone else in this life except you." .”

Murong Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and giggled.Yun Zixiao also smiled, took her hand, and walked straight out of the city.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the spring breeze was warm.

Zixian Mountain stretches endlessly, and the mountains and plains are full of blooming peach blossoms, just like pieces of magnificent and dreamy auspicious clouds.There is a tributary of the Yellow River meandering in front of the mountain. The river is very clear, making the mountain scenery more and more dreamlike.

Murong Yunyao and Yun Zixiao walked slowly in the forest hand in hand, but neither of them said a word, they just walked forward silently and aimlessly.Suddenly, Murong Yunyao noticed a little rabbit as white as snow happily grazing in the grass in front of her.

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she walked over cautiously with a light footstep.I don't know if it's because her footsteps are too light, or this little rabbit is naturally bold, but she doesn't have the slightest intention of running away.Seeing this, Murong Yunyao's smile became brighter, she knelt down slowly, and hugged the little rabbit with both hands.

At the same time, behind the rocks half a foot away, there is actually a huge lynx hidden.Its eyes are full of greed, watching the little rabbit's every move, and it is about to look for an opportunity to pounce on it and make this cute little rabbit a delicious meal for itself, but Murong Yunyao snatches it first.

Seeing this, Shanmao let out a low roar, and charged slightly with its front paws on the ground, then rushed towards Murong Yunyao like a gust of wind.It came swiftly and fiercely, when it came close, it opened its mouth wide, waved its sharp claws, and pounced towards Murong Yunyao.Under the sunlight, its teeth and sharp claws glowed with a frightening coldness, and ordinary people would have been terrified.

Murong Yunyao was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously hugged the little rabbit in her arms, kicked the sturdy lynx straightly, and then softly shouted: "Bad lynx, such a cute rabbit, you have the heart to eat it!" ! Get out of here, girl!"

Following her words, Shanmao was kicked two or three feet away by her in an instant, and fell heavily on the ground, letting out a shrill and angry roar.If she hadn't been merciful, Shanmao would have been kicked to pieces by her.

Yun Zixiao lowered his head and thought about his thoughts, and ignored Murong Yunyao, until the bobcat's roar reached his ears, which brought him back to his thoughts.Seeing that the lynx was quite swift and fierce, he quickly drew out the Liuyun sword in his hand, and floated to block Murong Yunyao behind.

While holding the long sword upside down, he was always on guard against the bobcat's counterattack, and asked with concern: "Sister, are you not hurt?"

Murong Yunyao shook her head, "Brother Yun, I'm fine. This lynx is so hateful, you should drive it away quickly, don't let it hurt Little Tutu."

Yun Zixiao nodded, and the murderous aura on the Liuyun sword was immediately strong, only waiting for the sword to end Shanmao's life.Shanmao seemed to see that the two were not easy to provoke, so he let out a deep roar, cast a look of hatred at them, and then turned away resentfully.

Murong Yunyao saw that Shanmao had already escaped, the expression on his face returned to indifference, and he remained silent again.Holding the pure and lovely little rabbit in her arms, she walked straight forward, unwilling to say a word to Yun Zixiao.Yun Zixiao's expression also became the same as before, he lowered his head and thought about his own thoughts, and followed Murong Yunyao slowly forward.

Not far ahead, there is a peach forest.The peach blossoms on the tree are in full bloom, and sometimes a breeze blows by, and the petals fall with the wind, forming a beautiful rain of flowers.The petals fell on Murong Yunyao's hair. Yun Zixiao wanted to help her take the flowers off, but his eyes were attracted by the Tianzhu Sword behind her, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

After a long time, he sighed intentionally or unintentionally, "Oh, I have a friend who has always wanted to find a sword that suits his heart. He has been looking for it for many years but has not found it. Not everyone is as lucky as my sister!"

Murong Yunyao said: "This friend is the same person as the one who asked you to buy the jade bracelet?"

Yun Zixiao nodded, "Yes, it is indeed the same person."

Murong Yunyao inexplicably felt that Yun Zixiao suddenly became a little strange in her heart, he hadn't completely opened up to her, as if he was hiding many things from her.She walked towards the highest Tiantan Peak with some displeasure. Yun Zixiao understood what she was thinking, but he didn't explain a word, just followed her silently, not allowing her to leave his sight for a moment.

After a long time, the two finally reached the summit.

Murong Yunyao walked slowly towards the cliff beside the mountain with the little rabbit in his arms, raised his eyes to look into the distance, and felt refreshed for a while, and all the emotions just disappeared.Seeing this, Yun Zixiao walked over, stood beside her, reached out to help her brush the petals from her hair, pointed to the clear Yellow River in the distance, and said, "Sister, look there..."

Murong Yunyao looked over as she said, but didn't see anything interesting.She was about to turn her head to ask Yunzi Xiao what was in the water, when she suddenly felt something tripped under her feet, and someone seemed to push her back, she staggered and fell off the cliff.

"Brother Yun, help!" Murong Yunyao frantically waved his hands upwards and screamed loudly.Seeing this, Yun Zixiao hurriedly bent down, stretched out his hand and grabbed down hard, trying to grab Murong Yunyao.But Murong Yunyao's falling speed was too fast, the moment he was about to touch Murong Yunyao, what he held was the sword behind her.The sword was pulled away from Murong Yunyao's body in an instant, but she fell off the cliff.

Murong Yunyao was stunned at this moment!Her mind was blank, and she felt that her heart seemed to be broken. She closed her eyes with a wry smile, and would rather never open them again, never to witness this world full of hypocrisy and indifference.
