Flowing Years

Chapter 73

At night, heavy snow fell all night, covering the mountains and lakes, covering the imperial city and villages.

Bai Zezhi listened to the sound of snow all night, and when the sky was slightly bright, he got up.

"My lord," the servant came forward and said, "Do you want breakfast? The medicine has been decocted, and you can drink it after breakfast."

Bai Zezhi glanced at him.She bowed slightly, showing her obedience to the order; while looking directly at her, she showed her disdain for Bai Zezhi.Bai Zezhi didn't speak, just turned around and went out.The dark guard quickly followed out.

Outside the house, bypassing the sheltered grove, is a small lake, with strange stones scattered around the pool, which should have been meticulously repaired along with the house.Bai Zezhi stood on a rock by the lake, looking ahead.In the distance are mountains covered by heavy snow, silent and majestic.Across the mountain are layers upon layers of forests one after another.

At present, there are four hidden guards by his side, fighting them with his current body, there is no way to escape from the mountain.Bai Zezhi judged the strength of the hidden guard in his heart, then lowered his eyelids.Bai Zezhi looked at it for a while, then went back to the house.

Bai Zezhi just walked into the main house, and the servant put out the last pastry.It seemed that as soon as they entered the door, these servants were immediately ready to go.Bai Zezhi lowered his eyebrows, sat down at the table, and ate slowly.If you want to improve your physical strength, you cannot sustain it without eating.After Bai Zezhi finished his meal and drank his medicine, he walked slowly to the martial arts room.

Bai Zezhi sat cross-legged on the exercise blanket, adjusting his breath in silence.After half an hour, I got up and picked up a big knife to practice.At the end of the time, one of the hidden guards left, and another dark guard came to take a shift to rest.Bai Zezhi counted ten breaths, leaned over to cover the previous wound, forced beads of sweat, turned pale, and felt pain.

The two hidden guards immediately landed in front of Bai Zezhi, checked it out, and one of them immediately flew out to find the doctor.

This is the time!Bai Zezhi tapped the recovered acupuncture point quietly, and with a wrong footstep, he swung his big knife and slashed at him by surprise.The hidden guard was deceived by the secret channel and blocked with his hands, but he left room and did not kill him.The lord sent them to protect this Young Master Bai, no mistakes are allowed, naturally they cannot hurt him.Bai Zezhi didn't like to fight, so he punched a few times, and immediately jumped out of the window, using fake stones and verandas to fly out of the house.

Bai Zezhi's speed was very fast, and he passed on the white snow.He couldn't stay longer in the house, and the other hidden guards would turn around, and he couldn't resist so many hidden guards by himself.

The hidden guard behind him followed closely, and every now and then he would strike, causing Bai Xue to lighten up.Bai Zezhi narrowed his eyes slightly, made a slight move, and looked at the dark guard's sword to his chest indifferently.The dark guard didn't expect that Bai Zezhi didn't take this move, it seemed that he was about to suffer the sword, so he hastily withdrew his strength, his heart froze.At the critical moment, Bai Zezhi smiled slightly, flying like jade dust in the bright sun.He turned slightly to one side, and swiped the knife toward the dark guard's neck neatly.A streak of blood rose into the air, and then fell on top of the snowflakes.

Bai Zezhi didn't stop, and flew into the snow-covered forest.The woods are very quiet, only the rustling of snow falling to the ground can be heard, and occasionally a bird flutters its wings and flies by.Bai Zezhi looked at the distant mountains, wondering how long it would take to get there.

Not long after, Bai Zezhi frowned, and they caught up.Except for the trees covered with thick snow, there is no place to hide.There is no other choice but to step up.

The dark guards followed closely, attacking Bai Zezhi from left to right.Bai Zezhi played the saber flower so tightly that the three hidden guards couldn't make a move, while slowly backing away.He knew that his physical strength was limited, but only in this way could he avoid being besieged by this dark guard with high martial arts skills.As long as there is a chance, he is unwilling to give up.The mountain is far away in the sky, yet close in front of us, Bai Zezhi gritted his teeth and approached the mountain step by step.Crystal clear snowflakes were flying around Bai Zezhi, but they became thinner and thinner.After the swords of the hidden guards were pushed back countless times, they finally found a chance to break Bai Zezhi's sword flower.

Bai Zezhi was suppressed in the snow, frowned and looked at the mountain.

When he returned to this house, Bai Zezhi would no longer be free.The hidden guards tied Bai Zezhi inside the house with strong ropes, waiting for the master to deal with him.

At night, Qi Lie rushed into the house.He untied Bai Zezhi's rope, inspected him carefully, and felt relieved only after making sure that Le Hong's seal was not injured at all.

"You can't say that you can't be a virtuous palace, and you can't be a rebellious minister. I will depend on you. You can't say that you can't be a harem, and you can't be a sycophant, and I will also depend on you. Why do you want to run away in such a quiet place?" Qi Lie had a headache.

"Yu Goshawk, no matter how comfortable a cage is, it can only be a cage." Bai Zezhi said flatly.

The Rixian Palace is a cage, and the harem is also a cage. Although this place is quiet, it is also a cage that traps him.Qi Lie frowned in thought.

"Can't you be by my side well?" Qi Lie pinched his brows, "Am I not good enough for you?"

"That's not what I want." Bai Zezhi turned his face away, "You and I can only be enemies."

"Then..." Qi Lie paused for a while, then said, "It's just... I was wrong, can't I?"

"Yes." Bai Zezhi frowned.He still remembers the situation when his father died in front of him, and he couldn't sleep day and night.He still remembers the pain when the country was broken. The country he and his father guarded, and the people they guarded, changed overnight.If it is said that the ruin of the country is due to the strong preying on the weak, and it is no wonder that it is so cold, then only the murder of the father is the most serious.

"The hatred of killing one's father is unshakable!" Bai Zezhi closed his eyes.

Qi Lie sat quietly for a long time, and finally said: "Even if that's the case, I won't let you go."

Bai Zezhi said sadly: "The captives are not easily released."

"You know," Qi Lie smiled wryly, "I never took you as a prisoner."

Bai Zezhi understood that the treatment of him as a prisoner was indeed different from others, and that was because of his special status.As General Fan Xia, maybe Qi Lie has always had the intention of accepting him.But he didn't expect that his father, General Fan Xia, was killed, and Qi Lie didn't have to hire a defeated general.The kiss that night, only flashed through Bai Zezhi's mind, and subconsciously ignored it.

"I like you." Looking at Bai Zezhi with his cold blue eyes, he told him clearly, "I thought I was clear enough."

Bai Zezhi was startled, and turned his head away.He never wanted to face this, he didn't want to bear the title of a sycophant after bearing the title of captive.Even when he dreamed back at midnight, he secretly rejoiced at the hasty side of the war.It's one thing to like it, another to accept it.He can silently like it in his heart, but he cannot accept this feeling openly.

"You are my enemy who killed my father!" Bai Zezhi looked directly at Qilie coldly.

"So," Qi Lie said bitterly, "Is it impossible to repent once you make a mistake?"

"Yes," Bai Zezhi closed his eyes, "You can no longer return my father and mother."

Qi Lie just wanted to refute that his mother did not kill herself.When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them.Because he destroyed Fanxia, ​​Mrs. Bai died.Although he didn't kill it, it was also caused by him.

"Then do you care about your sister?" Qi Lie asked.

Bai Zezhi suddenly opened his eyes, did he find Fu Que?

Looking at his eyes, Qi Lie understood, and said: "If you don't leave, I will never touch your sister."

Bai Zezhi lowered his eyelids and sighed inwardly, he will be imprisoned for the rest of his life.

Qi Lie looked at Bai Zezhi, feeling sour in his heart, it turned out that his sister was so important to him.He asked himself that he would not do things he did not want to do because of his brothers and sisters.But fortunately, he was able to stay because he valued his sister.As long as he stays, Qilie firmly believes that he will be moved by him.

"How is she now?" Bai Zezhi asked softly.

"When the city was broken, she escaped from the capital, and now lives in a small mountain village on the outskirts of the city." Qi Lie said the information he had searched, and frowned, "Together with Yuan." its abyss.It is strange that these two people can live together.

Bai Zezhi frowned, and looked at Qilie suspiciously.How could Fuqu be with Yuan?

"I just found out about this news." Qilie spread his hands, "I also expelled Qiyuan from the royal family." Qilie explained his innocence.Qi Yuan had nothing to do with him, and it was not his arrangement to be with Fu Que.

Bai Zezhi stopped talking, he had to ask Fu Que to know what was going on.
