Chapter 59

Duan Huaiyue watched Li Nuo walking towards him step by step.

She was wearing thick winter clothes, but she didn't look bloated at all. She was as slender and thin as a fairy descending from Yaotai.

But when she thought of Master's severed right arm, Duan Huaiyue's heart that had softened a little bit hardened again.

His eyes shifted from Li Nuo to Yuan Le, and he raised his voice: "Tell the people of the Longzhou Army not to act rashly. The snake in my hand is very psychic. It only recognizes me as the master. If there is any abnormality, I will not attack you."Will be soft."

Yuan Le's face was solemn, and he didn't say anything, but raised his hand slightly to make a gesture, and the whole scene became quieter immediately.

Listening to these movements, Li Nuo walked forward slowly without stopping, silently calming down.

She stood still three steps away from Duan Huaiyue, trying not to look at the two poisonous snakes on his body that terrified her: "Brother Duan, I know that your intention is not to hurt me, your only purpose is to rescue your master."go, right?"

Under the pressure of Duan Huaiyue's calm eyes, she pursed her lips and continued: "If you kill me, it will only anger brother Chenhuan even more. He already has a grudge against your master. If you do something to me, he will only be more angry."I will not let your master go, and even you have no bargaining chips. Neither you nor I want to see such an ending, so..."

"Nono."

Suddenly Duan Huaiyue interrupted her indifferently, Li Nuo had to stop talking, raised his eyes and waited for him to speak.

Duan Huaiyue said: "You're right, don't worry, I called you here because Huo Yunlang is going to die if no one saves you. I won't hurt you for now, come here."

Li Nuo knew that this promise from him was the bottom line, if he wanted him to remove the poisonous snake again, he would never agree.He didn't say any more at the moment, and stepped forward bravely.

Huo Yunlang's face was already purple and turning black, it was obvious that the toxin had passed through his body, and there was a faint tendency to invade his heart.Li Nuo regained his composure, rolled up Huo Yunlang's trouser legs, tore off a piece of his skirt and tied it tightly near his wound, and used a knife to cut open the flesh of the snake bite to release poisonous blood.

"Brother Duan, do you have any detoxification pills?" Li Nuo slightly stopped and raised his head to ask him.

Duan Huaiyue shook her head: "No, I can only trouble you to work harder."

Li Nuo had no choice but to lower his head again, focusing all his attention on Huo Yunlang, took off the silver needles in the cloth bag he carried with him, and stably injected needles into several large points on his body.

Duan Huaiyue stared at all this silently, not intending to intervene to help.He looked at it for a while, then said slowly: "I thought you would not dare to go forward because of fear, but I didn't expect you to be willing to save his life."

Li Nuo didn't speak.

"Even Huo Yunlang, who doesn't have a deep friendship with you, you can do this regardless of yourself. Why—why my master has been sleeping and forgetting to eat and sleep to get rid of the poison on your body... such a benefactor, why are you so indifferent?See how Fu Chenhuan hurt him?"

His voice is not high, but his tone is heavy.Li Nuo wanted to tell him about this a long time ago, but now he kept his hands on his hands and took a deep breath silently, "Brother Duan, you just saw that your master's appearance is not damaged. Have you ever wondered why?"

Duan Huaiyue was startled.

Obviously, he didn't think about it.From seeing his master's right arm cut off to this moment, he was full of pain and hatred, and it was only when Li Nuo mentioned it that he realized that when he saw the master, there was really no mask on his face.His face is intact, without any scars.

And because I was too familiar with his appearance, I didn't notice something wrong immediately.

So what?Duan Huaiyue frowned slightly: "Master's appearance is not damaged, is this serious? What do you mean by mentioning this?"

Li Nuo said in a low voice: "He is not disfigured, but he wants to lie that he has hurt his appearance and cover his face with a mask. Naturally, he does not want others to recognize him. If he is frank, why bother to cover it? Because he is afraid that onceIf he is recognized, he will lose the opportunity and the situation will not be good for him."

Duan Huaiyue is not stupid. Hearing what Li Nuo said, he quickly realized: Fu Chenhuan turned his face after seeing his master's appearance. That is to say, it has nothing to do with how long they stayed here.As soon as he saw his master's appearance, he would strike immediately.

On the other hand, seeing his master's behavior of covering up his face is worth pondering.

Li Nuo didn't know what Duan Huaiyue's silence meant, so he continued to explain: "Brother Chenhuan and I were the only outsiders who came here before. I don't know your master, so his mask is for Brother Chenhuan to see alone.Yes. It shows that there is a grudge between them, and you don't know it."

Duan Huaiyue said in a deep voice, "What kind of enmity is there between them?"

Li Nuo could only say, "I don't know either."

"You don't know?" Duan Huaiyue asked back, sneering, "You don't know, why did you show Fu Chenhuan the paintings I drew? Needless to say, Fu Chenhuan can't have a sudden whim to expose my master's face.Is it a tool? He must have seen his face in the painting before he shot suddenly."

Li Nuo slowly raised his head, his pure black pupils were filled with pain: "Brother Duan, you should have seen clearly your master's hatred for Brother Chenhuan just now. Since we came here, he has been wearing a mask in advance.Broken throat, endured for such a long time, do you think he can easily let go of his hatred? When he realized that there is another person in this world that you can draw his appearance exactly, it is possible to let Chenhuan brother know his appearance—even ifHe has already reprimanded you, the chances of exposure are slim, and he will not sit idly by."

Duan Huaiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and laughed a few times: "You mean he will kill me?"

Li Nuo knew that he would not believe it, that was to him to save him and raise him, how could a person like his father believe that the other party would be willing to kill himself for revenge.

She paused, and said in a low voice: "Perhaps you don't believe that your master will do this, and you are very angry at my behavior, but brother Duan, I want to say something from my standpoint—I am very sorry."I am glad that I showed that painting to Brother Chenhuan, and let him know that there is someone beside him who is determined to put him to death, and he is only thinking about poisonous schemes before he makes a move, and he found out in time to avoid the plot."

Li Nuo couldn't tell Duan Huaiyue the ins and outs of everything, after all, she shouldn't know those things.At this moment, I can only speak as clearly as possible: "Brother Duan, you resent him for hurting your master, I can understand your feelings. But you can't say that he is a cruel, cruel and vicious person.Even him, to a certain extent, he is just protecting himself."

Duan Huaiyue didn't speak immediately.

He lowered his head and glanced at Huo Yunlang: Li Nuo is indeed talented in medical skills. Even though there is no medicine available, after her skillful hands, Huo Yunlang's life is not in serious danger even though the poison has not been completely cleared.saved.

He was silent for a long time: "Nono, I understand what you said, and I also know that your words are not completely unreasonable. If the victory and defeat were reversed at this moment, my master would win a big victory, and Chenhuan would lose his arm or his life.", presumably I should also be in such pain at this moment, unable to forgive Master and myself."

Li Nuo felt slightly sour in her heart, of course she understood Duan Huaiyue's dilemma, he was really an innocent person in this matter.

"But there's nothing I can do now—" he changed the subject, "I know I shouldn't, but the only leverage I have is you. Nono, I'm sorry."

While he was speaking, Li Nuo felt a chill on her shoulders, and the touch of slowly crawling made her whole face turn pale, "Brother Duan..."

Duan Huaiyue's voice was very low: "Don't be afraid, as you said, I never want to hurt you at all. I just want to threaten you as a hostage, so that Fu Chenhuan can spare my master's life."

Not far away, Yuan Le saw this scene, and suddenly his voice changed: "Duan Huaiyue! Are you crazy?! How dare you treat Nono like this?!"

Li Nuo forced himself to calm down and slightly raised his hand, telling her to be calm.

She took small mouthfuls of breath, trying not to shake her voice so much: "It's okay, Lele, it's okay."

Although Li Nuo knew in her heart that it was impossible for Duan Huaiyue to let the poisonous snake bite her, how could she not shudder and fear, she clearly felt the snake crawling slowly along the right shoulder to the back, and then circled around from the left,Hang loosely on the body.

Such a cold and greasy touch made her blood go cold all over her body, and every inch of her skin shivered and shivered. She wanted to scream and cry, and let this thing disappear from her body immediately.

Brother Chenhuan...

If only brother Chenhuan was here...he would protect her, don't know how safe his arms are.

Li Nuo closed her eyes slightly, she couldn't think of him, but if she thought of his gentleness a little bit, she couldn't help crying.

Li Nuo rescued Huo Yunlang, who was half kneeling on the ground. At this moment, his legs and knees softened, and he could no longer support himself. He slowly sat down and shivered.

She managed to maintain her composure, not even daring to turn her neck stiffly: "Brother Duan, you want to hold me hostage, but I won't resist, can you, can you change the sword..."

Duan Huaiyue slowly clenched her fists.

During this period of getting along, he has long regarded Li Nuo as a little sister.Seeing her frail and frail body trembling constantly, she was obviously terrified, but she was still trying to calm herself down, and she also felt distressed.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, Nono, if I use a sword to confront Fu Chenhuan, I have no chance of winning. Even if he is a few feet away, he can snatch the murder weapon in an instant. Only this can make him a little afraid... I know you are afraid, don't worry,We will all be fast. I only want my master to take him away, and I will guarantee your safety."

Hearing his words, Li Nuo knew that asking too much was useless, so he stopped talking.

Duan Huaiyue pursed her lips tightly, supported Li Nuo's arm with one hand, and helped her up from the ground. Her body was so weak that she barely had any strength, and she barely stood, but remained silent.

Duan Huaiyue stopped looking at her, facing Yuan Le and raised her voice: "Go and invite your lord over here."

Yuan Le was about to speak, when suddenly his eyebrows frowned.

Duan Huaiyue also noticed it, and quickly turned her head to look sideways.

Fu Chenhuan came striding forward in moonlight, with a gloomy expression that could hardly bear the murderous intent, like a sharp sword piercing the sky.

In so many years of acquaintance, he has never seen such a sharp gaze from him.

Duan Huaiyue said brightly, "Don't go any further—"

As soon as the words fell, the snake seemed to be psychic, and the snake's head slowly moved upwards, slowly touching Li Nuo's slender and fair neck.

Fu Chenhuan stopped.

The cold and stern gaze was firmly fixed on Duan Huaiyue's face, and the coldness in his eyes pierced his bones.

This expression made Li Nuo's heart shrink, "Brother Chenhuan—" She didn't dare to shake her head, her big clear eyes showed a hint of resistance, "Don't..."

She was afraid that Duan Huaiyue would still underestimate Fu Chenhuan after all. He had always done things straightforwardly. Maybe at such a distance he could be sure to save her—before Duan Huaiyue urged the snake, he would kill both the snake and the human.

But this cannot be done, Li Nuo stared at Fu Chenhuan closely.

Fu Chenhuan's hand hanging by his side was tightly clenched, his joints were sharp and his veins were bulging, Li Nuo's bloodless face, the poisonous snake hanging on her body, his restraining words and familiar eyes were all like a sharp knife in his heartGo up and down and stir Ling Chi.

He suppressed the soaring violence all over his body, and took out a letter from his cuff.

"You keep saying that I will repay my kindness, but you know that Nono is also your savior, so you treat her like this?"

Fu Chenhuan's eyes were cold, and with a flick of his hand, the letter fell directly in front of Duan Huaiyue.He shouted in a deep voice, "This is the suicide note written by Ling Zhao for you. Read it yourself."

While saying that he was walking towards Li Nuo, Duan Huaiyue seemed to have fallen into a daze, and didn't even stop Fu Chenhuan, just staring at the letter lying quietly on the ground. The handwriting on the envelope was the one he was most familiar with—it wasHis own handwriting.

Fu Chenhuan went straight to Li Nuo who didn't dare to move, grabbed the snake's seven inches and threw it viciously.The snake fell to the ground and immediately turned into a pool of mud.

Immediately, without saying a word, he hugged Li Nuo tightly into his arms.

"Don't be afraid of Nono..." The trembling voice was obviously his, "I'm sorry I didn't protect you well..."

His embrace was too warm, with an undeniable power of reassurance, Li Nuo hid in his embrace tightly, holding his broad and strong back with both hands, the fear and grievance in his heart turned into belated tears, silently pouring out of his eyes.

It's like when a child falls down, if there is no one around, he can stand up on the ground; but if the person who loves her most is by his side, he can cry without being strong.

She didn't blame Duan Huaiyue for his tricks, but when she saw Fu Chenhuan and heard him coaxing her in such a gentle voice, she couldn't help but want to cry.

Fu Chenhuan felt that the corner of his clothes on his chest was silently wet, and gradually expanded, with the scorching heat of heartbreak.The skin there seemed to be scorched by a raging fire, and the pain made him almost suffocate.

Every inch of the girl's body trembling in his arms made his heart feel like a knife.

Fu Chenhuan patted her back lightly with a big hand, and his voice was barely audible: "It's okay...it's okay Nono..."

"I'm here, and I won't let you leave me again."

Li Nuo lightly rubbed against his arms, responding to dependence and complete trust in this way.

Fu Chenhuan exerted more force in his arms, and turned his head to look at Duan Huaiyue—looking at him now, he still couldn't help the killing intent in his heart.

Ever since the letter was thrown in front of her eyes, Duan Huaiyue had been staring at the letter, almost staring at a hole.

"I found this on him. Since he has already written a suicide note for you, he probably won't keep you for long." Fu Chenhuan's tone was gloomy, like ice, "If it wasn't for Nono, I'm afraid you might not be able to see him tonight."Tomorrow morning sun."

Duan Huaiyue was in a daze all the time, and after hearing Fu Chenhuan's words, he just woke up like a dream, and slowly reached out to pick up the letter.

The letter was still sealed, and Fu Chenhuan hadn't opened it. Even the ink marks on the envelope with the words "suicide note" were still fresh, exuding a scent of ink—it was the ink made by their master and apprentice, with the fragrance of herbs,There is only one place in the world.

Duan Huaiyue's lips trembled, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Fu Chenhuan: "This is really... really..."

Fu Chenhuan said: "I'm too lazy to do such a waste of time. You also said that my methods are cruel and vicious. If I want to take your life directly, why bother to coax you with such things."

Duan Huaiyue's words were all stuck in her throat.He also knew in his heart that what Fu Chenhuan said was true, he had no time to do it, and he even disdained to do such a thing.

Besides, he learned calligraphy from his master since he was a child, and his handwriting is completely inherited from Ling Zhao, but there are only slight differences. If anyone in the world can imitate his handwriting so much that even I can't tell it apart, I won't be the second choice except Ling Zhao..

Duan Huaiyue was heartbroken, opened the letter in a trance, and read it at a glance.

Fu Chenhuan withdrew his gaze coldly, turned around and told Yuan Le: "Take care of Huo Yunlang, and let the others go down and resettle."

Yuan Le took the order and immediately went to work swiftly.After everyone dispersed, Duan Huaiyue also finished reading the suicide note in his hand.

"This posthumous writing can be considered perfect." Fu Chenhuan seldom said such sarcasm.

Duan Huaiyue closed her eyes and whispered, "...I'm sorry."

He hesitated, and took a step in their direction, Fu Chenhuan stopped immediately: "Don't come here."

Duan Huaiyue showed pain on her face: "I just want to apologize to Nono...is she okay?"

Li Nuo raised his head from Fu Chenhuan's embrace upon hearing this, "I'm fine, Brother Duan, you didn't hurt me."

Fu Chenhuan didn't say a word, he finally knew how Nono felt when he only said that he was fine when he was humiliated by Du E.

He hugged her, and he was still afraid at this moment, and he couldn't forgive Duan Huaiyue immediately.

Fu Chenhuan didn't want to say anything, he picked up Li Nuo and walked into the room.

"Chenhuan—wait a moment," Duan Huaiyue called to stop him quickly, "I know... I was really reckless today, but he is my master after all, I did something stupid in a moment of anger, I am sorry for you, but...Can you tell us what kind of enmity we have? Let me understand, too?"

Fu Chenhuan frowned, and wanted to refuse directly, but he paused slightly when the words came to his lips, and said, "Come in."

He left the next sentence and went straight into the house.

Li Nuo has calmed down a lot and no longer trembles.It's just that looking at those eyes that have been washed by tears still makes people's heart ache.

Fu Chenhuan felt distressed, and hesitated: "Nono, let me talk to Duan Huaiyue for a few words about my childhood, you...do you want to hear it?"

After he finished speaking, he held his breath lightly, pampering and loving, but fearing that she would say no.

Fortunately, Li Nuo nodded without hesitation: "Brother Chenhuan, I will accompany you."

After Fu Chenhuan placed Li Nuo on the chair and settled it securely, he leaned over slowly and touched her forehead lightly.

"Are you still afraid?"

Li Nuo shook his head.

Fu Chenhuan smiled a little.

Duan Huaiyue entered the door, sat a little far away from them, hesitated for a long time in a daze, and then asked softly: "I... my master..."

Fu Chenhuan said: "He is dead."

Although Duan Huaiyue knew the answer, she still couldn't help asking.He nodded heavily, and said in a low voice, "Did you kill him?"

Fu Chenhuan paused slightly, at this moment, all the conversations with Ling Zhao tonight went through his mind.

He said, "No, he bit his tongue and killed himself."

Duan Huaiyue looked at him blankly, Fu Chenhuan didn't need to lie, he said that if he didn't have it, he must have it, "What happened to you two?"

Fu Chenhuan was about to look sideways at Li Nuo, but her small hands had already gently climbed onto his arms, silently expressing that she was there.

Suddenly his heart warmed up, and the tone of his mouth was no longer so cold: "There is an undying hatred between me and him. You already know that I am not the real Fu Chenhuan, but just a stand-in. In fact, my real identity..."

Fu Chenhuan pursed his lips tightly, his lips turned white due to exertion, "...he is the third son of Emperor Beimo."

This sentence is only a few words, but the amount of information is astonishing. Duan Huaiyue even stood up from the chair: "What did you say—"

Fu Chenhuan didn't care about Duan Huaiyue's astonishment. He felt Li Nuo suddenly clenched his hand, and clasped his fingers back to hold it back: "And Ling Zhao is not his real name, he is actually the Liang family who rebelled against Beimo 20 years ago.The youngest son, Liang Zhao."

"He was once a childhood sweetheart with my biological mother, and they were in love with each other. On the eve of their marriage, my biological mother was forcibly accepted as a concubine by the emperor of Beimo, and she gave birth to me a year later. From then on, I have been their eyesore..”

Fu Chenhuan's slender eyelashes drooped slightly, watching Li Nuo's little hand holding his fingers tightly, he continued calmly: "My fate is not good.I spent two days and one night to cleanse my sins. When I woke up, the third prince in the palace was dead, but I survived as a palace slave—I was thrown by Ling Zhao to Xia Dynasty as a slave when I was seven years old.Before that, I was tortured and trampled by him and my biological mother in Beimo Imperial Palace."

"Although I have been tortured in the past seven years, it is not true that a slave knows nothing. They let me study and teach me the way of the world, making me know my shame and inferiority." Fu Chenhuan said lightly, "I am ashamed to say, my fateHumble, but not too stupid in mind. The book is so good that it makes me more painful to wake up."

As soon as he said the last word "bitter", Li Nuo couldn't help stretching out his other hand, and wrapped his big palm with two thin white hands, as if this could erase a lot of his pain.

Looking at those eyes full of distress, Fu Chenhuan's heart gradually softened, and he ended the narration hastily: "That's it. He hated me. Although I was young at the time, I was full of hatred and wanted to kill him quickly. But INot long after the Xia Dynasty, the Liang clan rebelled and the entire clan was wiped out, so I thought he was dead. And he should also think that a seven-year-old Xiangxiang slave would never survive in a foreign country."

Duan Huaiyue was silent, as if she had aged a few years: "Then if that's the case, how did he... find out that you are still alive?"

Fu Chenhuan shook his head: "I don't know about this. I only know that when I stepped into this place, I was already in his scheme."

Duan Huaiyue whispered: "Chenhuan..."

"You don't need to say anything," Fu Chenhuan said calmly, "You are innocent in what happened today. I did feel sorry for you, but I can't forgive you either."

Duan Huaiyue was heartbroken, he smiled wryly, if he was innocent in this matter, wouldn't Nono be even more innocent.She even saved her own life, but he treated her in that way regardless of her feelings.

Not to mention that Fu Chenhuan didn't forgive himself, it was hard for him to forgive himself.

Fu Chenhuan didn't want to continue talking with Duan Huaiyue, and tilted his head slightly: "We will leave tomorrow, so I will disturb you during this time."

The conversation has come to this point, and both of them know that it is useless to talk too much, Duan Huaiyue nodded silently, got up and went out without saying anything else.

After he left, there were only the two of them left in the room, Li Nuo couldn't bear his heartache any longer, and opened his arms to hug Fu Chenhuan.

She couldn't even bear to listen to what he said, let alone imagine how he endured it for seven years in a short narrative, "Brother Chenhuan, do you always remember those things when you were young? It used to be meConfused, I should ask you to tell me, if you tell me, I can bear it with you, maybe you can feel better..."

Feeling her thin but not weak strength, Fu Chenhuan asked in a low voice: "Nono, do you love me?"

It doesn't matter whether he gives Duan Huaiyue an explanation or not, he just wants to use Duan Huaiyue as an excuse to tell Nono this - if there are only the two of them, he really can't bear it, and most likely he will remain silent.

"How could I not feel distressed?" Li Nuo choked up without hesitation.

She touched his face, "My brother Chenhuan is so pitiful... why did he suffer so much? Let's not remember those bad things. With me by your side in the future, I will make you happy every day.Happy..."

Fu Chenhuan slowly closed his eyes, hugged her gently, and slowly raised his pale lips.

It doesn't matter anymore.

It doesn't matter whether what Ling Zhao said is true or not.

When Ling Zhao just died, he really wanted to ask Nono after he went out. He didn't want to listen to Ling Zhao's crazy words, and he didn't want to rely on logic to speculate on the so-called facts.He just wanted to hear what Nono said to himself, as long as she denied Ling Zhao's words, he would immediately believe her.

But when he came out and saw her being held hostage by Duan Huaiyue, and seeing the poisonous snake clinging to her neck, his brain roared, and all the anxiety and worries disappeared, leaving only one thought: as long as Nono is well.

All right, don't leave him, that's all.

So, taking a step back, suppose...

Fu Chenhuan felt slightly bitter and apologetic: He just wanted to assume.

If Nono really did not lose his memory, she did have a purpose for being by his side—then, after he asked and revealed all this, did she... have no reason to stay by his side?

From this point of view, even if she was just lying to him, even if she had other purposes, this vain, fragile bubble of happiness, he was still reluctant to let go.

That being the case, there was no need for him to ask.

Besides—

Fu Chenhuan looked at Li Nuo's sparkling eyes, so clear and bright, like a piece of pure white paper, full of spotless love.

His eyes that see through the filth and calculations of the world, when looking into her eyes, see through to the end, there is only love and distress for him, nothing else.

Besides, he didn't have to ask.

He knew exactly what Nono wanted.

Those words came from Ling Zhao's mouth, and they were all nonsense.He just thought he was stupid and missed, why bother to ask and hurt Nono's heart.

Nono loves him, no lie.Every ounce of doubt about her taints this holy love.

That's all for now.

The author has something to say:
