Xi Heng left immediately and continued shooting arrows from another eaves.
……
By the time she returned, it was already midnight.
Qinxie Changxiang becomes more prosperous after nightfall than during the day.
Lanterns of various shapes and overlapping signboards are hung in a dazzling array, candle flames flicker faintly in the rooms of various pavilions, and you can vaguely hear women's singing and cheerful voices, accompanied by the sounds of zithers and flutes, and a strange fragrance lingers in the air.
Returning to the bustling Qinxie Changxiang from the silent outside world seems like entering a different world.
Even the eaves are higher and looser, making it difficult for ordinary warriors to fly over the roofs in this area.
Xi Heng concealed his figure, and shuttled through the night like a night swallow, returning to Hua Manlou.
Entering from the wide courtyard at the back, she put down her bow and arrows, climbed up the mahogany stairs to the third floor, and pushed open the door.
The windows in the room were closed, and a red candle was burning on the table, swaying and casting a faint light.
A woman was sitting next to the long table, tidying up her appearance by candlelight.
But even without too much decoration, she is still a rare and beautiful person - at least Xi Heng thinks so.
She has traveled all over the country and even overseas, and has seen and heard a lot.
But in her mind, when it comes to people with outstanding looks, the first person that comes to mind is Yan Hongji.
Although women like the Goddess Chitian, Senior Sister Hongmiao, and even Zhao Chuxiao all have their own beauty and temperament that surpass others.
But Xi Heng had never had any feelings for the Goddess of Red Sky. His senior sister had not been around for a long time, and his longing for her gradually faded away. And when he looked at Zhao Chuxiao's face, he always felt as if he was looking in the mirror, which was even more dull.
Recently, when facing Yan Hongji, I felt some fluctuations in my heart.
Why is this so?
Xi Heng opened the door and thought for a while as he approached, but in the end he couldn't come up with any answer.
Maybe the feeling of falling in love is just inexplicable, right?
There was another petite woman in the room, who was complimenting the waitress while she was fixing her hair.
"Chunxian, please leave." Yan Hongji said.
"Yes."
The maid bowed slightly to Xi Heng who was standing at the door, and tiptoed out of the room.
Yan Hongji put her hair behind her ears, turned her head and looked at the girl who had just entered the room, with a hint of smile in the corner of her eyes:
"Senior Sister Xiheng, do I look good?" she whispered.
After she arranged various matters, she stayed in the room waiting for Xi Heng while getting dressed. Now, almost two hours had passed.
She dressed so carefully and attentively just for the meeting with her senior sister.
"The hibiscus is not as beautiful as the makeup, but the wind in the water palace brings the fragrance of pearls and green flowers."
Xi Heng recited a poem, not caring whether it was appropriate or not, and walked slowly behind the other person.
Yan Hongji heard the description in the poem and chuckled.
"Senior sister is also a poet?"
"Of course." Xi Heng raised his right hand and placed it on his shoulder, just like the other party did before.
"Senior sister is extremely skilled in martial arts, outstanding in literary talent, and has a great reputation... I'm sure her name will be recorded in history books." Yan Hongji's eyes flickered:
"Can I accompany you? I will call you 'a loving person'."
History books?
Xi Heng does not just want to be recorded in history books, she also wants to gain eternity in herself and personally witness and participate in the so-called history.
However, in this situation, it is not appropriate to think too much about other things. Just follow what the other person says.
"What kind of love is this?" the girl asked softly.
Hongji's face flushed slightly, but his eyes did not move away.
"Senior sister wants to know?"
"Want to know."
As soon as the voice fell, Hongji suddenly stood up, touching the armrest of the chair with his fingertips.
He stepped sideways on his toes, turned his body slightly, and smoothly positioned himself in front of the other person.
Their skin touched each other through the silky satin clothes, and the warmth spread with the slight sound of friction.
Then, Hongji wrapped his left arm around Xiheng's waist, leaned forward, and got closer and closer.
The five fingers of the slender right hand floated up and touched the cheek.
Her eyes were slightly closed, and her lips were touching the profile of the person in front of her.
"Senior Sister, I have been waiting for this day for a long time." Her voice became softer and softer. At this extremely close distance of only two or three centimeters, she breathed out warmly to Xi Heng:
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The red candle flickered, casting changing shadows around the two people.
Gently stroke with fingertips, and a soft and smooth feeling is felt on the cheek.
Then, his five fingers slid to the right across his neck, passed through the smooth hair, and supported the back of his head.
Hongji moved his feet a little further forward and lowered his head so that their eyebrows were touching.
"Come to think of it... Did you ever miss me when you were away, Senior Sister?" she asked from her heart.
“I’ve thought about it a lot.”
Xi Heng also stretched out his arms and wrapped them around the other's slender and flexible waist, tightening his grip a little more.
It seemed as if to bring the two closer together.
It's close enough though...
Most of the clothes are close to each other and transmit the warmth between the two people, entangled together many seemingly existent and nonexistent things.
"What do you want about me? Where?" Yan Hongji asked again.
"All."
In the dim room, the graceful figures cast by the candlelight are lingering.
With a slight fluttering sound, they fell away together.
……
The next morning, birds were chirping outside the window.
Xi Heng rubbed his still sleepy face and squinted his eyes slightly, then he saw some light coming in from the window, and the whole room was no longer filled with only the flickering candlelight.
The red candles had been extinguished, and the decadent atmosphere in the room last night was finally gone, leaving only a slight scent in the air.
She covered her lips and yawned slightly, then lifted the soft quilt a little higher to cover her shoulders.
I closed my eyes and rested for a while, and during that time I discovered that besides myself, there was another person with a slightly different body odor on the bed.
"Um……"
Xi Heng then remembered that Junior Sister Hongji was sleeping in the same bed with her and had not left.
The other person's breathing was even and calm, and it seemed that he would sleep for a long time.
Last night, Junior Sister Hongji seemed a little too tired...
The girl lay on her side on the bed, just quietly looking at this almost flawless beautiful sleeping face.
After a moment, he subconsciously stretched out his slightly sticky fingers from under the quilt and touched the tip of the other's nose.
The other party still maintained his even breathing and did not move.
She withdrew her fingers and thought back to last night's events, her face flushing slightly.
And she seemed to have gone a little too far.
Although I knew that my junior sister had suffered a serious illness and was in poor health, I didn't expect that she would suddenly faint halfway through the work.
He used his Hua Jin to sort out the other person's physical condition, and he slowly woke up.
But because of this, it stopped soon.
"It's obviously not even a few times yet." Xi Heng muttered to himself in a voice so soft that he could hardly hear it.
The next sentence was hidden deep in my heart.
"Even if I spent a whole day and night with Senior Sister, I wouldn't be too tired..."
After all, Senior Sister Hong Miao is a dark energy warrior, and her physical fitness is comparable to hers.
But Junior Sister Hongji hasn't practiced much since she entered the realm of strength, and her muscles have become soft, and her body is only slightly better than that of an ordinary person.
Xi Heng accidentally used the same method he used when playing with his senior sister, causing Hong Ji to lose consciousness for a while, and finally had to end it hastily.
Although the journey was quite interesting, it still felt incomplete.
The girl pouted and closed her eyes to rest for a while.
I don't know if it was five minutes or a quarter or two before I heard the humming sound of the person in front of me waking up.
Xi Heng also woke up rubbing his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he saw Junior Sister Hongji covering her face like an otter and shrinking her body a little.
"What's wrong?" She tilted her head subconsciously, but her little head sank a little deeper into the quilt.
"..." Hongji said weakly: "I am sorry..."
"Hmm?" Xi Heng didn't quite understand what the other party was saying.
"Last night, those..." Hongji's cheeks, covered by her hands, became redder and redder. She opened her mouth and only uttered these two words, and seemed unwilling to say more.
The girl blinked, and although she still didn't understand, she still said it was okay.
Yan Hongji noticed this, covered her shy face and turned to the other side, looking at the wall beside the bed engraved with a phoenix pattern, her pupils shaking and trembling.
After a few seconds, she pursed her lips, coughed a few times, and changed the subject, and began to cover up her abnormality with some serious things:
"Senior Sister, were all those preview posters released yesterday?"
"Yeah." Xi Heng agreed.
"I have followed your instructions and let my people spread the news that the Dark Heaven Sect's Merciful Saint has arrived in the capital and will massacre the treacherous officials overnight. When will you take action?"
As she talked about these serious matters, her voice finally became calmer.
"Three days later. No matter how urgent it is, we have to wait for the news to ferment for some time."
"So what do you plan to do for the next three days, Senior Sister?" Hong Ji asked in a low voice.
Xi Heng smiled and said:
"Of course, it's my junior sister who is accompanying me."
She has been fighting on the battlefield in the northern border for so long, and now that she has finally returned to Beijing, she should relax for a while.
……
……
Chapter 114: Affection and Ruthlessness
But within a day or two, news gradually spread among restaurants, teahouses, inns, theaters, and other popular places in the capital city that the so-called Merciful Saint of the Dark Sky Sect had arrived in the capital and would eliminate the treacherous and evil traitors for the people one night in the next few days.
In people's eyes, this statement was not groundless, because when the news began to spread, some people discovered that an arrow was inserted in front of the door of almost every official's residence in the capital, and above the arrow was a post with the snake pattern of the Dark Heaven Sect.
The text in these posts has also been passed down over time: Those who obey the people will live, and those who go against the people will die.
Such simple eight characters caused an uproar in public opinion.
All the buildings and inns were discussing this matter. Even if you didn't go in to spend money, you could hear the discussions about this matter just by stopping outside the store.
By the second day, there was no need for Hua Manlou's thugs to spread the news deliberately. The news had already begun to spread spontaneously, and even many exaggerated statements had been spread through word of mouth.
For example, it combines the teachings of the Great Dark Sky Sect to tell that the Holy Lady of Mercy is not an ordinary person, but a messenger of darkness from heaven.
