Chapter 3754: Rebirth of the King’s Favor: Feeding the Wolf (25)
There was no sound in the silence. Ranbai looked at him indifferently, with an expression that was difficult to distinguish between happiness and anger. After a long time, he suddenly laughed out loud. There seemed to be violence in his eyes. He didn't know what he was angry about, but his voice was ambiguous and hoarse and indifferent: "General Gu will always It can surprise me.”
"Sir, please do it." Gu Jingxian's eyelashes didn't even tremble, and he was as unbroken as green pines and winter cypresses. He took off the long whip tied around his waist, held it up with both hands, and handed it to Ranbai.
It was originally used for self-defense, but it has never been used, but now it can be considered useful.
The emperor looked at him solemnly, aloof, and finally reached out to take the whip, straightened it in his hand, closed his fingers, and slowly tightened his grip on the whip. His finger bones were long and pale.
"You really don't hate it?"
"Don't hate."
"Don't move, kneel down."
"Um."
The night is getting darker, the snow is falling, and the three thousand ever-burning lanterns in the capital are reflected in the snow light.
The room was dark.
Gu Jingxian knelt straight from beginning to end, resisting the stinging pain in her heart. When her eyelashes drooped, she covered her eyes with red eyes. Her eyes were always sober and stubborn, waiting quietly for the whip to fall and for the emperor to calm down.
It is said that when one closes one's eyes, one's other senses will become particularly sharp. Although there is darkness in front of his eyes, he can imagine a white shadow in the deepest part of his heart. He is so high and cannot be questioned.
A snowstorm hit the city at night, and he heard the sound of a long whip cutting through the air, tearing almost everything apart and flinging it down to him with the strong wind.
Gu Jingxian didn't hide even a moment.
There was a sound of "Pa—!"
Penetrating the eardrum.
But he didn't feel the pain he imagined. Instead, he felt a strong wind whistling past his ears.
When the emperor raised his hand, the whip hit Gu Jingxian's side hard, leaving deep cracks on the ground where it was whipped. In this fine inn, it was enough to show how cruel the force was.
It was only an inch away.
It will fall on Gu Jingxian.
It can take half a life.
But no.
Gu Jingxian's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. He could see the dark red clothes and black and gold shoe tips in front of him, which were sharp and noble. He raised his head and looked up at her. That figure was long and slender, always calm and calm, making people unable to figure it out. Even at this moment, when the whip was deflected, there was no emotion on her face, and she couldn't even tell whether it was intentional or not. , as if nothing was noticed by her.
Facing this person,
Gu Jingxian didn't dare to take the chance that she would be merciful and merciful.
Ranbai said nothing to this, and played with the whip in her hand, hoping that it would fall on Gu Jingxian at any time. She stared at him for a long time, her eyes as deep as the sea.
Suddenly,
The emperor let go of his hand and casually threw the whip to the ground without any warning or reason.
"Think I will hit you?" She patted her sleeves and leaned over casually. There was no warmth in her eyebrows. She bent one knee, put one hand on her knee casually, and smiled: "Gu Jingxian."
She called his name, word after word lingering from her lips and teeth, with a little more intriguing meaning, without any hint of affection, and then she said to him calmly: "It's quite boring."
"Sir..." Gu Jingxian's eyelashes began to tremble, and his heart felt inexplicably empty. Uncomfortable emotions rose from his limbs and bones and gradually gathered in his heart, making him uneasy and suffocating. He couldn't adapt to this feeling, and he couldn't get used to it. I didn't know what to say, my thin lips moved and my voice was dry and hoarse.
He panicked.
He didn't panic when Ran Bai wanted to scold him, and he didn't panic when he killed him. He didn't panic even when the whip just missed him by just a hair.
But now,
Because of Ran Bai’s light words.
He was confused.
