Chapter 1 But the Beauty
In the dream, the red candle was charming, and the whole cavalry general's mansion was immersed in the bright joy. The red silk was like blood, reflecting the moonlight in the dark sky, and the white with red festive sprinkled all over the earth.
"Miss, you'd better take a break for a while, and someone will come to serve you to dress up later." A maid took a green embroidered cloak and walked to the woman standing in front of the window.
The woman turned around with a light smile, slender and clear willow eyebrows, bright eyes with fine light, like autumn water. The lips are not clicked, and the most rare thing is that there is no lack of brightness between the beauty.
"No, I can't sleep." The woman's eyebrows stretched, and the smile on her lips were unconcealed. Her pulse of eyes fell on the big red wedding dress beside her, and there was a warmth in her heart.
Tomorrow, she will become his concubine.
This woman is Qin Si, the only daughter of Qin Chaoding, the cavalry general, and her husband she will marry tomorrow is Qi Zhongtian, the most famous third prince of the Celestial Empire.
Thinking of the people he will rely on in the future, Qin Si raised the corners of his mouth and the breeze brushed his face. I don't know if it is difficult for him to sleep at this time?
At that time, it was the middle of the moon, and the moonlight was shrouded in layers of thin clouds. In less than three hours, Qin Si will step on the eight-lift sedan chair. Maybe Qin Si has been restless about whether he is looking forward to tomorrow's wedding. Since she couldn't sleep, she fortunately ordered the maid beside her to take a bath and then changed into the big red wedding dress.
The wedding dress is produced in the palace. It is made according to the style of the prince and the imperial concubine. The top red silk satin is embroidered with a golden phoenix pattern, and the waist broadband is made of white jade of different shapes, which is exquisite and unparalleled. Unlike the original style, the third prince ordered the internal affairs to embroider a golden thread peach blossom on the cuffs.
I couldn't help stroking my fingers, and the golden peach blossoms seemed to have a burst of fragrance. Thinking about the situation of meeting Qi Zhongtian for the first time, Qin Si's heart was full of warmth.
Put on the big red wedding dress and let your hair fall off. Qin Si picked up the comb on the table and smoothed his hair. After sending the maid out, Qin Sifang smiled at himself in the mirror, with a phoenix crown and pearl and gemstone calendar in front of the carved bronze mirror.
Halfway through the time, Qin Si was sleepy by the red candle. He got up and leaned against the window coffin and opened the window to watch. The bamboo forest outside the boudoir rustled. Looking down at the faint figure under his feet, the cold wind brushed his face, and Qin Si couldn't help tightening his body.
"Heavenly official, Tianguan." He shouted twice in a row, but there was no sound at all. Qin Si frowned and shook his head and said in his heart: This girl.
When he was about to turn around, a painful cry came from Meiyuan. Qin Si's heart tightened, and then remembered the heavenly official who never walked at will. Qin Si clenched his hand uneasily, hurriedly picked up the corner of his wedding dress and left the boudoir and went to Meiyuan.
While trotting along the way, Qin Si looked around from time to time. There was only a lonely wind in the courtyard, and the guards everywhere suddenly disappeared. The uneasiness became stronger and stronger. She walked outside Meiyuan, and the sound of a sword collision disturbed the last trace of calmness in Qin Si's heart.
Qin Si panicked and was at a loss. Thinking about his father's safety, he forcibly calmed down. He reached out and touched his waist and abdomen until his fingers touched the familiar hard object. She took a light step and continued to walk forward.
After a pause, Qin Si clearly saw a bloody hairpin, and the hairpin was given to the heavenly official by her. Thinking of this, Qin Si's heart was as cold as ice.
The cold sound of the blade is getting louder and louder, and it comes from where my father lives. Stepping on the fallen leaves under his feet, Qin Si didn't dare to make a sound and couldn't help comforting himself. What could happen to this rider general's mansion? But tears appeared in his eyes.
She held her breath and accelerated her feet a little, silently thinking about her father's martial arts skills. How could something happen...
Suddenly, a fierce anger ran wildly behind her. Qin Si's hair cut a few threads. She turned her head to avoid and pulled out the sword between her waist and abdomen to block it, but she was shocked that her palm was numb. Her fingertips suddenly dripped a few drops of bright red. Under the moonlight, a bloody mouth was cut on her beautiful cheek.
Knowing that he couldn't escape, Qin Si shouted, "Dad, where are you?"
A low roar not far away seemed to respond to her. Qin Si stepped back a few steps, turned around and saw a round head passing through the arched courtyard door and flying towards him.
The round thing fell to the ground and rolled a few times before stopping against the corner of the wall. There were terrible blood stains on the ground. Qin Si opened his eyes and saw that the round thing with scattered gray hair was the head. A pat on her chest leaked, and her body suddenly trembled, and her heart was even more painful. She didn't dare to look, but her eyes were dead on the head. Her resolute eyebrows were stained with blood, and her unclosed eyes were lifeless, full of hatred.
Qin Si is too familiar with this appearance.
It was her father who died.
"Dad...Dad..."
Like a trapped beast, Qin Si's heartbreaking cry resounded in the quiet night sky, and the red lantern hanging beside her shone on her stiff face.
His brain buzzed, and his feet were paralyzed. He supported himself from falling with one breath. Qin Si's eyes were like a spring of tears, and he bit his tongue between his sobs. The bloody breath quickly dispersed in his mouth and went straight to the Qingming place of the spiritual platform.
Looking towards the direction of flying around the head, two people in black skillfully crossed the arch with sharp swords and landed. The moonlight was very dim, but it clearly shone on the sharp blade, reflecting dazzling light. The dark red blood dazzled her eyes, and her heart ached. A fishy sweetness came out of her mouth, and blood fell from the corners of her lips.
"Who the hell are you?" Qin Si turned around, but slowly moved towards a corner.
Everyone in black looks at her coldly, and there is no way to answer her.
Qin Si knew it was difficult to escape, so he raised his dagger to protect his chest to prevent himself from showing any weakness. Although she can't do martial arts and can't save her father and herself, the woman of the Qin family will not be insulted even if she kills herself.
For a long time, the man in black did not move until another man in black fell in the courtyard. The man in black nodded and the blood on the sword in his hand dripped down.
The chill in his heart suddenly appeared. It seemed that the Qin family was no longer alive. Qin Si didn't know whether it was sad or painful. There was a trance in his mind and his feet staggered.
Dad, Lin Bo, Tianguan, they are all dead...
The man in black, led by the leader, saw that the overall situation had been decided, turned the sharp sword in his hand out of a sword flower to signal, and then the man in black next to him stabbed Qin Si.
"The third prince will not let you go." With hatred, Qin Si retreated under his feet, and his unmarried son-in-law came out of his words.
You should know that in the Celestial Empire, the third prince is famous for his ruthlessness.
The man in black really slowed down, but he soon raised his breath and stabbed again. The sword breath in front of him was like a rainbow, and Qin Si's cheeks were painful. The sword spirit was close to the tip of his nose but was blocked, and a cold plum fragrance dispersed in front of him.
Opening his eyes, a man in white appeared in front of Qin Si. The man covered his face and turned away after the extremely pale amber eyes glanced at her. He easily turned away from the man in black between his hands.
"Let's go." After spitting out the word, Qin Si chewed tears, but he did not dare to delay any more. At this time, he called someone to come, and I'm afraid there was still a chance to catch these people.
It's late at night, and there is no one on the official road, only the wind roaring around her ears is accompanying her. She was in a trance and unconsciously took a messy step towards the third prince's mansion.
Qin Si breathed a lot of cold wind in her throat, and every breath was like inhaling a knife, but the pain was far from reaching the bottom of her heart. At this moment, she was like a puppet, just walking numbly.
It was not until he saw the mansion with red double happiness lanterns hanging in the distance that Qin Si was slightly relieved.
There was a sound of breaking the sky in the quiet night. Qin Si only felt a cold in his ear, and his body was carried by force for a month, and then fell into a warm embrace. Looking at it, it was the masked man. He was hit by an arrow in the arm, but ignored it. The blade was aimed straight at the man in black who caught up with him.
Qin Si was pushed aside. The masked man did not look at her, but whispered, "Stand here, don't move."
In a blink of an eye, the people in black went up together, and the masked man snorted coldly. Qin Si looked worriedly, and the masked man fought against several people with killing. Soon, the white robe was dyed red with blood. Qin Si saw that the handsome figure was getting heavier and heavier. He covered his mouth and his heart was raised high. The wave of worries like rolling continued to climb higher and higher.
"You don't have to worry about me. Let's go." Seeing that he couldn't stand it and cried, Qin Si shouted at the white shadow. They don't know each other. How can they destroy his life again?
Looking at the firelight in the distance, I remembered that the Qin family was full of blood. Qin Si's tears were hazy, the blood in his throat kept pouring out, and his brain gradually became heavy.
The sound of the sword may have covered up this shout, and the white dress was stained with more bright red.
Qin Si is confused. What's going on? Tomorrow is the day she comes out of the cabinet. Why is this...
No, we can't let the masked man die again.
Qin Si looked at the masked man again and raised his skirt to run to the third prince's mansion less than ten feet. As long as the guards of the prince's house are called, they will be fine.
As her skirt flew around, her whole body seemed to be fixed, and the back of her head was pierced with severe pain, and blood came out of the tip of her forehead. Qin Si shook in a dazor, and an arrow penetrated his forehead from behind him. The Third Prince's Mansion behind him was so close and so far away.
The pain drained all her strength, and the last trace of support also collapsed. When she landed, the masked man's pale eyes flashed in the distance, regardless of the man in black behind him and rushed to her.
Qin Si looked at the shadow of the sword that the man in black cut at him, and his white lips trembled, but his throat was strangled and there was no sound.
The masked man received a sword behind him, and a column of blood gushed out of his mouth. The blood fell on Qin Si's eyes, and suddenly there was only blood red in front of him...
"It turned out to be San Shao. It's really extraordinary. It's better to meet than to be famous." A suppressed voice came, and the owner of the voice glanced coldly at the black bamboo and wooden card that fell on the ground and slowly walked to Qin Si.
Qin Si only felt light all over her body. With the gust of wind shaking casually, was she still dead after being penetrated through her head by an arrow? With a gust of wind, Qin Si couldn't help drifting forward.
The masked man frowned and looked at the bow and arrow in the man's hand, with a chill in his cold and gentle male voice: "Did you kill her? Cough...cough...who the hell are you?"
Those coughs made Qin Si's heart, and he was injured.
I tried to open my eyes to see this young master, but my eyes were black. You can only vaguely distinguish yourself from floating in the air, and you can't see anything else. Shocked, she didn't know whether she was a human or a ghost...
"It is rumored that the three young people who are not close to women turned out to have pity for the jade, and actually came to this muddy water. If you want to know who I am and go to hell, you will know.
After saying that, the fierce palm wind wanted the man in white to pat him, leaving no room. After a few moves, the man in white couldn't hold on, and his body fell into the moat like a broken paper kite.
In front of him, he was black. After a cry of pain, he listened to the sound of falling into the water. Qin Si couldn't move at all, and could only be heard by sour tears.
"Let's go and return to His Royal Highness."
"Yes."
