square inch kill

Chapter 167: It was supposed to be a marriage gift, but it was actually a trusteeship!
"Snapped"

There was a sudden sound of something falling behind the screen, and at the same time, Fang Cun was pulled out of that surprise.

"Hongluan, you girl, what are you doing hiding behind, just come out if you want to hear it." There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the Northern Territory King immediately said.

With the strength of him and Xiaoyaozi, how could it be possible not to notice that Hongluan was hiding behind and eavesdropping, but no one cared, let alone pointed out.

"Father, sir... Hongluan just came to see if you want some tea." His face was blushing as if bleeding, Princess Hongluan came out from behind the screen at a loss, her head was as low as an ostrich, "I... Hong Luan will go down first."

While talking, Princess Hongluan blushed and withdrew. After all, it was her daughter's house. Even if she liked Fangcun in her heart, she couldn't stay here and listen to them discuss their marriage. It was really embarrassing.

"Haha, since that's the case, why not settle the marriage today?" Turning to Xiaoyaozi, the Northern Territory King laughed.

"Wait a minute..." Frowning slightly, Fang Cun couldn't help but interrupted, "Your Majesty, Master, this disciple is devoted to Taoism now, and I really can't tolerate my children's affair..."

"That's nothing." Even before Fang Cun could finish speaking, the King of the Northern Territory smiled and waved his hands, "Secretary affairs have nothing to do with cultivation, and I have never heard that any strong person won't get married because of cultivation."

Fangcun still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Xiaoyaozi.

"Cun'er, now that chaos is approaching, we old guys have our own destiny, and I'm afraid no one can survive alone." Sighing softly, Xiaoyaozi said immediately, "I also understand this old guy's thoughts somewhat, you Since there is some affection with this girl Hongluan, let's take this opportunity to accept the marriage, so that even if something unexpected happens in the future, this girl Hongluan will have something to rely on."

"..." As soon as these words came out, Fang Cun couldn't help choking back the words that were stuck in his throat, and he smiled wryly in his heart.

"That's right. In my life, this daughter is the one I love the most. Now that I entrust her to you, I can feel at ease." Nodding, the King of the Northern Territory did not hide it, and said seriously.

"The ancient killing domain has been unsealed, and the Necromancer may come to the world at any time. The war is imminent. If you still have fetters in your heart, there may be more dangers." Looking at the square inch quietly, Xiaoyaozi explained, "You kid has a clever mind and strength. Among my peers, it's not bad, I don't need to worry about the old Dao, if I let Hongluan follow you, it's considered the friendship between me and this old fellow."

After a pause, Xiaoyaozi continued, "Besides, since you came to the king's capital, you know how Hongluan treats you. Now, it's called giving marriage, but it's actually asking for an orphan... So, do you still want to shirk? ?”

Slightly startled, Fang Cun couldn't help but smiled wryly, how could he still say the words of refusal at this point.

Thinking about it carefully, I did owe Princess Hongluan a lot of favors, aside from love, I should repay this kindness alone.

"Fang Cun should do his best to take care of the Princess." With a slight bow, Fang Cun finally bowed and agreed.

For an assassin, love doesn't matter, since that's the case, it's nothing to marry Princess Hongluan, it's nothing more than adding some color to his superficial identity, and it's not a fetter.

"Haha, okay, since that's the case, then this matter is settled." Clapping his palms and laughing, the Northern Territory King's face suddenly showed a hint of relief.

"I've done the math. After one month, there will be an auspicious day. Why don't we set the wedding date on the 24th of next month? What do brothers think?"

"It's just that you are busy, so you can count your auspicious days. As long as I have wine, I am an old man." Xiaoyaozi doesn't care about such auspicious days. According to him, choosing a day is worse than bumping into it. , get married today.

Smiling wryly, realizing that he really had no room to intervene, Fang Cun saluted relaxedly, "In that case, this disciple will step back first."

He waved his hand, and didn't care if Fang Cun was gone or not, Xiaoyaozi held the wine gourd without squinting his eyes.

"Brother Dao, after so many years, you and I finally have a chance to fight together again." After entrusting Hong Luan to Fang Cun, the King of the Northern Territory suddenly had no more fetters in his heart, and laughed with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

"That's right. I want to see what the so-called seven kings and one emperor have to do." Xiaoyaozi said calmly with a sense of arrogance in his chest.

.........

After leaving the palace, Fang Cun sighed softly, but he couldn't help but think of the woman in the previous life, the woman he loved deeply.

Are you married?Regarding this, Fang Cun couldn't help but feel a little fuzzy.

Once upon a time, how much I looked forward to getting married with her, and even went against the old man's wishes, insisted on going my own way and even exposed my identity.

However, it turned out to be a deception, a pot of poisoned wine, and a stillborn wedding.

Now, in this other world, is he going to usher in another wedding after all?
It's just that this time, I no longer have that expectation in my heart, and I also no longer have love. For me, this kind of wedding is nothing more than a symbol, a cutscene, and I no longer have the same mood as before.

Smiling, Fang Cun stepped into the carriage and headed straight for Mianhualou.

It's just that there is a feeling of tiredness in my heart that cannot be concealed. It is an indescribable tiredness. Perhaps, the assassin is destined to be lonely, right?
He does not reject loneliness, but he has to admit that such loneliness makes people exhausted.

.........

Outside the window, light rain pattered.

Leaning on the chair, listening to Ruoshui's pipa, Fang Cun's thoughts can't help but drift away leisurely.

"Everyone says Jiangnan is good, tourists only like Jiangnan old people. The spring water is clear in the sky, and the painting boat listens to the rain and sleeps. The people around me are like the moon, and the bright wrists are covered with frost and snow. If you are not old, don't go back to your hometown, and you will have to break your heart when you go back to your hometown."

Raising his glass to drink alone, Fang Cun couldn't help singing softly, a strong sense of homesickness spontaneously arose, "Old man, are you okay?"

"My lord is a good lyricist." The sound of the pipa subsided slightly, and Ruoshui sighed softly, "Where is your hometown? With your current status, you should be able to return home in good clothes, right? Why don't you go back and have a look."

"Returning home?" There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, Fang Cun slightly shook his head and said calmly, "Unfortunately, I can't go back, even if my status is ten times more prominent, I will not be able to go back a hundred times."

"..." Ruoshui didn't ask any more, just poured wine for Fang Cun silently, as if leaving all the memories and sadness in the wine.

Whoa!
Almost at the same time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and faint discussions drifted into the room.

"What? The admiral Wang promised Princess Hongluan to Young Master Fang Cun Fang?"

"Really, that's Princess Hongluan, tsk tsk, this is too lucky."

"What's so lucky, young talent, who can compare to Mr. Shang? Didn't you hear that Mr. Fang came back with a full load during this trip to kill the domain in the ancient times. I heard that his strength has improved again, and he can't use it. How long will it take to step into the ground?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, I heard that Mr. Fang seems to be in this sleeping flower building now."

"Scared, no way, he came to Mianhualou just after the marriage was granted? Aren't you afraid that the king will know?"

"Bah, what do you know, love affairs are so elegant! Even if you're married, and Mr. Fang wants to come and play, no one dares to say anything! Do you think it's you?"

"Exactly, exactly, in my opinion, Mr. Fang is the true temperament."

"Hey, do you think Mr. Fang has taken a fancy to Ruoshui? As Mr. Fang, if he really wants it, I'm afraid the owner of Mianhualou will have to give him some face?"

Listening to the messy discussions outside, Fang Cun's mouth couldn't help but twitched into a smile, he shook his head slightly, but ignored it.

I just want to drink, how can I have so many thoughts.

"My lord, are you going to marry Princess Hongluan?" Hearing this, Ruoshui finally couldn't help asking.

"Well, the wedding date has also been set, next month." Nodding, Fang Cun replied softly, no sadness or joy could be seen on his face.

"Congratulations, son."

Shaking his head slightly, Fang Cun said calmly, "Thank you very much."

Ruoshui didn't say any more, but he couldn't help feeling a little more lonely and lonely in his eyes, and picked up the pipa again and started playing again.

The sound of silk and bamboo fell into his ears, Fang Cun closed his eyes slightly, and remained silent for a long time.

Standing up slowly, Fang Cun's mouth showed a faint smile, and turned to Ruoshui, "Do you want to leave?"

"Ah?" Hearing these words suddenly, Ruoshui's eyes showed a gleam of joy, "Would you like to take Ruoshui in, my lord?"

She had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, since the first time Fangcun came to Mianhualou, she had hoped for it in her heart, but she never got it.Watching Fangcun's prestige increasing day by day, Ruoshui felt that the distance between himself and Fangcun was getting farther and farther, as if he could no longer catch a piece of Fangcun's clothes.

However, just when she was about to despair, she suddenly waited for these words.

"I'm just taking you out of here." Shaking his head slightly, with a faint smile on Fang Cun's face, he spoke again gently.

"Ruoshui doesn't ask for any status, as long as the young master is willing to take Ruoshui away, no matter whether he is a slave or a maid, Ruoshui is willing." Although it is said that she is performing arts but not selling herself, but from the day she entered the Sleeping Flower Tower, the identity of this prostitute has been the same. The deep imprint has been left on her body, and it cannot be erased anymore. It is naturally the best ending to be accepted by the nobleman as a concubine.

Shaking his head slightly, Fang Cun said calmly, "I don't want you to be a slave, I just take you out of here and change your fate!"

After a pause, Fang Cun then said softly, "I can feel your loneliness. No matter how prosperous this place is, no matter how much food, wine, and dignitaries, it is just a prison for you!"

"...I can't change my own loneliness, but I can break the cage on you, give you freedom, and make you no longer bear loneliness... because no one knows the taste of loneliness better than me."

PS: Hongluan is not the heroine, well, secretly, just say this.
