Chapter 503: Killing with a Sword



Chapter 503: Killing with a Sword

Wang Ruyi wrapped her robe tightly and followed Li Changxiao in small steps. Her forehead was still aching slightly and had turned red from being hit. She was still thinking about what had just happened. The beauty in her heart turned into shyness on her face, which lasted for a long time.

She felt both happy and sad, but when she passed through the woods, the sun and breeze blew on her face. She suddenly looked up and saw white clothes, smelled the breeze, and her nose was tickled by the ends of hair. She raised her hands and put them behind her ears. She felt the vastness of the world and felt like she was reborn.

She, Wang Ruyi, is back. She took off her robe, untied the rope of sin, and washed off the mud on her face. At this moment, the broken emperor's heart, bathed in the fire of heaven, was not destroyed, but became stronger and purer.

However, Wang Ruyi disappeared quietly, and she smiled. As for the emperor, the country, and the society, put them aside for now. My most urgent task is to seduce men.

Thinking of this, she hurried to catch up, and her already passionate emotions regained their true form, becoming even more passionate and dazzling.

"Li Changxiao, am I not beautiful? Why don't you look at me?"

She blocked Li Changxiao's way, put her hands on her hips, and asked half-jokingly, as if annoyed.

"I've been watching." Li Changxiao replied gently.

In the blazing sun, the girl put her hands on her hips, raised her head, and looked as proud as a peacock, "Not enough."

"Not enough?" Li Changxiao became interested, "Then you took it off?"

“Take it off!” Wang Ruyi was annoyed and raised his hand to take off the robe.

But she felt a gust of wind coming. Li Changxiao held her hands down and pointed at the passers-by. "You woman, you really dare to take off your clothes. Most of the people coming and going are passers-by."

"I was just trying to scare you." Wang Ruyi looked very proud, but a hint of sadness flashed across his face.

Li Changxiao, ah Li Changxiao, you are looking at me, but... why do you always feel so far away?

So far away.

……

Entering Fuyu City again, Wang Ruyi pestered Li Changxiao, wanting her to change into nice clothes, take a bath, buy rouge, and many other things. Li Changxiao calculated carefully and felt a headache. He had to empty his money. Seeing this, Wang Ruyi muttered in her heart that she wanted to dress up beautifully just for him to see.

Li Changxiao counted the silver and responded one by one. After entering the city, he went straight to the clothing store in the city.

Dayu is relatively traditional. When ordinary people want to buy new clothes, they buy fabrics and go home to sew them themselves. Whether they look good or fit well depends on the craftsmanship. Or they can hand the fabrics over to a tailor shop and entrust others to do the work. There are very few places where people buy ready-made clothes directly, and only the children of wealthy families dare to patronize them.

Li Changxiao happened to have some money left, so he followed Wang Ruyi to the An Guiyi Pavilion and picked out two dresses for changing. Wang Ruyi was dressed in new clothes. Because she was hot and bold, and was with the person she loved, the clothes she chose were naturally avant-garde and bold, which fully released her charm.

She was wearing small leather short boots, a satin pleated skirt with flowers, a white silk jacket, and her long hair was tied up with a silver hairpin. Her face was already flawless, but with a little bit of makeup to add to her beauty, her red lips and jade nose, she was filled with countless spring scenes.

That's not so bad, Wang Ruyi has another set of clothes, which is even hotter and bolder. She wears socks made of silk from silkworms, the hem of her skirt is slit to the side of her waist, and her top is thin and revealing.

Every move she made was on the verge of exposure, and her beauty was hard to conceal, but Wang Ruyi handled it with ease. It was the look that seemed to cover up yet be shy, about to show but not yet, that was the most eye-catching.

If she were to return to being the emperor, she would not be able to wear it like this. Although the hazy moon-colored gauze skirt and the black pearl silkworm skirt looked beautiful, it was an emperor's skirt after all, and she had to consider the word "appropriateness". There were many accessories on the skirt, and after putting it on, she had to be extremely careful with every step she took.

It would be better to be at ease now and wear whatever she wants. Wang Ruyi was rich and powerful, and when it came to spending money, she could not be described as lavish, she was simply a gold-devouring beast. After leaving the clothing store, she went to a rouge and powder shop, and without saying a word, she asked the shopkeeper to take out the latest styles of rouge. She was very familiar with such items, and after a few simple conversations, the shopkeeper knew that she was not an ordinary person, so he did not dare to buy her too expensively and tried to find out her identity indirectly.

It was normal for Wang Ruyi to love beauty. No one is perfect, and anyone who doesn't have one or two common hobbies must have some quirks. There was nothing wrong with loving beauty, but Li Changxiao's small wallet couldn't handle it.

After that day, Li Changxiao's family was completely empty-handed. When he turned around to look at the girl, she looked brand new, with her earrings and hair accessories, as well as her skirt accessories, all in a new style. When she walked on the street, most passers-by looked at her sideways, and I don't know how many young masters talked to her.

She dressed up carefully because she wanted to show it to someone. She was also quite scheming. She bought a gourd on the street and hung it around her waist. She put one or two taels of wine in it. From time to time, she imitated someone and took a sip. Even Li Changxiao found her expression funny and interesting, so he gave half of his homemade wine to her.

As night fell, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased. Wang Ru noticed that the path ahead did not lead back to the inn, so he became curious and asked about it.

Li Changxiao only replied with two words: "Kill people."

The murderous intent was hidden in the wind and concealed in the soil, but when it was spoken out loud, it sounded calm and indifferent.

Wang Ruyi asked, "Who are you going to kill? Your enemy or my enemy?"

Li Changxiao told Wang Ruyi everything that happened along the way, including what he knew and what he didn't know.

Now that it has been exposed, hiding is meaningless. Wang Ruyi is a player in the game and the center of the storm, so she should know this. When the voice finished telling everything slowly, Wang Ruyi could no longer hide her anger. Everything she had experienced was actually arranged long ago. The involvement behind it frightened her, and she was even more worried that her own Dayu would become a victim like herself.

“So start from this station.”

"Will you protect me? You will protect my Dayu and my people."

Wang Ruyi's eyes were blurred. The turmoil behind Dayu was no longer something she could control.

Bai Yi, who was beside her, became her only support, so she naturally placed all her hopes and expectations on one person. It was not a demand, but just a plea. She kept thinking about him, expecting a response.

Li Changxiao flicked her head, patted his sword, and said with a smile: "I'm not that great."

"but……"

"I was planning to take you to kill someone."

Hearing this, Wang Ruyi was a little excited, his eyes moving, and for some reason, his gloomy mood suddenly disappeared.

She saw the swordsman again, with a long sword on his waist and dressed in white. He killed people without hesitation. She thought he was good-looking and liked him. It was just like her fantasy in her youth, reflected in the world and into her heart. She secretly decided that tomorrow morning, she would pester Li Changxiao to get a few taels of silver and buy herself a sword to hang on her waist.

When she kills someone in the future, she will stain her sword with blood, which can be regarded as chivalry and wandering the world. If she thinks about it carefully, isn't this her dream of leaving the court and wandering the world with a sword?

Draw the sword, kill the person, and leave in style!

The more I think about it, the more excited I get. Even if I unfortunately die on the road, I will not live a happy and carefree life.

Just thinking about it.

The two of them left Fu Yu City and walked to the bank of a big river.

Li Changxiao slowly drew out the sword, with the tip of the sword pointing vertically downward, then let go, and with a plop... the sword sank into the river.

The rivers are surging.
