Year of Herbs

Hua Rongyue hardly ever goes out the night before crossing - even if there are street lights outside.

In the ancient times, she had to walk at night most of the time.

Standing on the empty street, Hua Rongyue has a wish in her heart.

—If she becomes rich in the future, she will install lanterns on this street, making it resplendent and dignified, just like Yuan Fei in a dream of Red Mansions saves her relatives.

Stepping on the silver moonlight, Hua Rongyue's vision will be dark and bright, back and forth, this moonlight is more unpredictable than the ghost fire. When she went out, she hesitated whether she wanted to go out with her true face. After all, Six Doors hoped that she could take Yi Linglong's place. If others saw her face, then others might treat her like this. Yi Linglong's matter is believed to be true.

...No, why did she let others believe this truth?

Hua Rongyue finally made some cover up.

She was wearing a night clothes, and then she brought the innocent, and another ordinary knife.

The voice was low, and Hua Rongyue was listening carefully. She thought that the person who came should be the guy from the daytime, but who knows not.

Hua Rongyue was a little disappointed at first sight.

This person... seems to be an ordinary thief, but he has some skills, and the target of his attack is not Baicaotang, but the next door to Baicaotang.

Even though she appeared disappointed on the surface, Hua Rongyue was actually quietly relieved.

If it is not a strange person, that is the best.

In the end, she said to her heart that since she has come, let's help the neighbor catch a thief by the way.

Hua Rongyue's footsteps were much lighter than that of the thief, and she even stood behind the thief, admiring the other side's lock-picking for a while, and watched it for about three minutes The other party didn't find it.

Until the other party really couldn't get it out, when he stopped to breathe a sigh of relief, a hand stretched out from behind him and pointed at the lock.

Hua Rongyue said in a voice that was different from her usual voice and sounded closer to Yi Linglong's true voice, "You can't even open this kind of lock, how can you How dare you come out and be a thief?"

Hua Rongyue didn't really feel that something was wrong at first, but when she tied it with a rope, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She looked at each other's hands.

—that hand was covered in calluses.

the lock?

There are two possibilities, he pretends to be a thief, the other is... he pretends he can't open it.

—someone was standing behind her.

This "thief" is not unable to open the lock, but has another accomplice. His purpose was to draw out Hua Rongyue.

After trying to understand the logical relationship, Hua Rongyue saw the person who led her out.

—a plain face, and a sword that slashes iron like mud.

Sword Intent, Hua Rongyue is completely incapable of describing it, this thing can't be seen or touched, but since she transmigrated into this body, she knew that Sword Intent was there.

Taking a step back, Hua Rongyue saw that a strand of her hair had been shaved.

The strand of hair fell slowly in the air, Hua Rongyue said this is really a wonderful story.

If this person has the strength to cut off a strand of his hair, he will definitely not be an ordinary person. But Hua Rongyue had never seen such an ordinary face in her memory, even if it was a disguised face.

She said to her heart that she must tear off this mask tonight to see who the face is under the mask.

"Yi Linglong?" The man opposite said slowly.

Hua Rongyue did not answer. She doesn't want to reveal her identity for the time being. The topic of revealing her identity will wait until she tore off this person's mask.

"Are you a man or a woman?" he asked again.

Hua Rongyue suddenly remembered that she just said something in a voice close to Yi Linglong herself.

Hua Rongyue usually speaks in pseudo-voice, pretending to be a man's voice, pressing her throat. Just now she thought that since she was an ordinary thief, no one would recognize her, so she said something in her native voice.

Yi Linglong's voice is actually a bit low, compared to the average woman. Hua Rongyue felt that it was the result of her perennial false voice in Tianyi Building, which hurt her voice. But that voice was a bit feminine compared to the average man.

—It sounds like a mix of low and tactful.

Saying that it is a man's voice always makes people feel a little wrong, and saying that it is a woman's voice has to make people think.

However, Hua Rongyue's dress and behavior seem to be more inclined to the men of this era, so the person on the opposite side has such a question.

Hua Rongyuexin finished speaking... Now I'm afraid I'm not going to be mistaken by the other party as a monster, right?

She said in her heart that this is not what Yi Linglong looks like in the eyes of the public, but since someone heard her voice just now, then tonight she is afraid that she really has to hold on to the answer that she is not Yi Linglong.

Although the other party does not confirm whether she is Yi Linglong or not, she cannot spread the rumor even a little bit.

Speaking of this, it's not a big deal. There are many rumors on the rivers and lakes. I won't listen to these rumors, but Hua Rongyue has a psychological shadow on this.

—Because Yi Linglong died on this in her last life.

She chose not to be harmless, but took out another knife with no name at all.

Hua Rongyue felt strange at this moment.

It is probably that she has been using the identity of a man to hide herself in front of others to give her a sense of security. But now that another person has seen a little bit of "reality" that belongs to her, she can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Hua Rongyue was asked to explain why she used a male identity when she came out of Tianyi Building... Probably because she didn't want others to see the real her. The whole world has always felt insecure to her. Maybe she will feel safer when she faces this world with a side that does not belong to "Hua Rongyue"?

A feeling that cannot be said, Hua Rongyue just doesn't want to admit that she is Yi Linglong.

"I came to Jiangnan this time to find a powerful person to compete with." Seeing Hua Rongyue's refusal to admit it, the man opposite said, "I wonder if your Excellency is Yi Linglong, but I would like to teach you.”

His sword is also a sword with no name, but it is also a good sword.

Hua Rongyue was actually not in a hurry. The man on the opposite side was indeed a master, but she was still a lot worse than her, as you can tell from just now.

Awesome, but nothing more.

Hua Rongyue was more interested in the other party's mask, she thought about how to take it off casually for a while.

Master duels often have to observe each other for a long time, but there are many weaker people who can't hold their breath.

Because before the competition, you must first fight against the "potential", many people lose at the stage of the "potential" and can only take a preemptive strike.

Hua Rongyue has never lost a match, because this trick doesn't really need to kill people, she learns as diligently as Qinggong.

The man's sword was unsheathed again, Hua Rongyue's eyes only stayed on the sword for a moment, and the two figures instantly changed.

Hua Rongyue was behind the man in the blink of an eye.

—She turned her back to the man, holding a still warm mask in her hand.

The man also turned his back to Hua Rongyue, and a ray of red slowly remained between the exposed forehead.

Hua Rongyue stuffed the mask into her pocket and walked slowly in front of the man, wanting to see what the face looked like.

…

"Why did Brother Rongyue get up late today?" When Wan Fulian got up to cook in the morning, she was surprised to find that the ground outside was not mopped, the table and counter were not wiped, and the chairs were not placed. After a strange circle, he went to find Doctor Qi, "Doctor Qi! Why didn't Brother Rong Yue get up this morning?"

"Ah—" Xiao Han next to him made a lazy Hache, "Then did he come back last night?"

"No." Wan Fulian said, "I didn't hear anything last night, and I slept soundly."

"It's broken." Doctor Qi said, "Isn't something wrong last night?"

"What can happen?" Xiao Han said.

"Did he suddenly say he was going to watch the night in the lobby last night?" Doctor Qi said, "I felt something was wrong at the time, but I didn't dare to ask more, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up Go out and find him."

Doctor Qi and Wan Fulian hurriedly went back to get things, one said they were going to East Street, the other said they were going to West Street. .

While he was talking, Xiao Han pushed Hua Rongyue's house and said, "Isn't this lying inside?"

Doctor Qi and Wan Fulian hurried in and found that Hua Rongyue really slept inside, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but they found that his face was wrong, and he couldn't even scream .

"Hua Rong Yue."

“—Hua Rongyue!”

Hua Rongyue is having a dream, and the dream is full of messy things.

Under the mask she took off last night was a familiar face.

The moment I saw that face, everything suddenly went into chaos.

This time, Hua Rongyue knew that her eyes had turned red, because the person on the opposite side also said the same thing - just like what Lin Qiya said last time.

She even felt it.

The strong uncontrolled feeling burst out from the inside out, she hardly knew what she was doing at that moment, and almost completely controlled her.

Hua Rongyue passed a few seconds of darkness, and when she woke up, she almost killed the man.

—The tip of her knife was just a few millimeters away from the man's neck.

But at the last moment, Hua Rongyue stopped.

Her brain was even deprived of oxygen, and she didn't know if she had a nosebleed.

She did one thing right off the bat—

The knife stabbed at his arm.

With this pain, she woke up a little, and then returned to the Hundred Herbs Hall as if she had escaped.
