Qing Lan Ji

.Is that also a person in the martial arts? "

Luo Wan said: "He's a scholar. Then... After that, all the old friends in the past avoided me like enemies, only he is still willing to associate with me."

Ying Tianchang shut up instantly, feeling the heat was unbearable, took a deep breath and said, "Then what, can we talk in another place? How did you get here?"

Luo Wan said: "This place is too far away from my village. I have a house in the city. I asked someone to clean up two rooms and I have lived there for the past three days. It was too late for dinner, and I had already ordered a car to go back. I walked about [-] minutes. Half an hour."

Ying Tianchang didn't move, just smiled and said: "It's too far away, I didn't sleep for days, and I worked hard to catch up with the last night. I couldn't stand still. I saw that there was an inn over there with a light on, so I went How about making do with one night?"

Luo Wan said: "As you wish."

The two of them are almost reunited after death, and there are many things that are messy, and they need to be explained in detail one by one, but at this moment, they always feel that they are circling, and they can't touch the point that should be correct. , as if there is some force pushing it, it always deviates.Luo Wan was not good at words at first, and almost sparked an evil fire, but Ying Tianchang calmed down, knowing that he should take his time, and there is always a chance to progress step by step.The two walked towards the inn side by side, and they were able to remain silent. Ying Tianchang suddenly remembered, and said with a smile, "I heard that you accepted Zhou Chenglin as your apprentice."

Luo Wan was surprised when he mentioned this matter, and then thought that although Ying Tianchang has always been sneaky, and kept in touch with Yan Fengyue in private, even though he knew this long ago, he was by no means jealous, and there was still a moment of evil. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I haven't formally worshiped a teacher."

Ying Tianchang clapped his palm: "Why don't you bow down to him, and you can earn a few kowtows. How nice! Now he is afraid that he wants to kill me even more, and maybe one day, you will let me go. Great kindness, thank you in advance.”

Knowing that he was putting on airs at this time, Luo Wan also carefully picked out the meaning of his words. He calmed down somewhat, and then thought of Zhou Chenglin again, a soft look flashed across his face: "I'll give him a knife."

Although the inn was small, the tables and chairs were neat and tidy, and there were guys dozing off behind the counter.Ying Tianchang stepped forward, tapped his finger on the table twice, and said with a smile: "That's great! I hope he can learn some real skills from you, and don't show off his flamboyant legs all day long!" Then he said nonchalantly: "Shopkeeper, let's take a look!" room."

Luo Wan suddenly said: "Two rooms." Turning around and going upstairs.Not long after, Ying Tianchang also caught up, stood still in the corridor, and said with a wry smile, "Friend."

Luo Wan said: "I was the one who was tempted first, and I was the one who asked for it first. You don't owe me anything, so you don't have to be so brave."

Ying Tianchang hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Then I would like to thank my friend. But if you are so upright, you can live in the same room..."

Luo Wan was furious: "Ying Tianchang, do you really think I'm not a man?"

Ying Tianchang took a step back in fright, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "My fault, my fault, Mr. Luo Daxia has a lot. Then you live in this room, and I will be with you. It's too late, I didn't tell the waiter to boil water, let's make do with it Let's talk about it at dawn. See you tomorrow then? Friends."

He pushed open the door, and there was a dark smell of incense in the room.Luo Wan suddenly said: "Ying Tianchang."

Ying Tianchang said: "Huh?"

Luo Wan said: "Are you really going to be here tomorrow?"

Ying Tianchang looked back at him, and said seriously: "Tomorrow, or tomorrow, I will be here. I have a lot of time this time."

☆、Chapter three guests and hosts

He was so sleepy and exhausted that he threw himself on the bed without even taking off his shoes. The bed was covered with old bamboo mats, so it was quite cool.The room was vaguely visible, Ying Tianchang was afraid that if he didn't sleep, it would be dawn, so he closed his eyes quickly.As soon as he closed his eyes, there was a flood of random dreams, which seemed to be waiting impatiently behind his eyelids.

After doing dozens of dreams with a long span of time and space, Ying Tianchang woke up with a lot of emotion, sweating profusely, as if reborn from a catastrophe, but in fact it was still dark outside the window, maybe only a few moments later, the consciousness Up to this point, it has always been reassuring.It's just that even before that, he realized something worse.

Someone was knocking on the window of his room.

Ying Tianchang wished he could imagine it as a ghost, so that he could ignore it as a hallucination, but the ghost obviously wouldn't let it go, and then unexpectedly said: "Young master."

Ying Tianchang sighed indistinctly: "I provoked someone."

The man pushed the window lightly and entered, and in an instant he was standing three feet in front of the bed, bowed and saluted.

"My master wants to invite the young master to be a guest."

Ying Tianchang didn't open his eyes, he didn't even bother to mobilize the slander that he invited people to be guests in the middle of the night, he just said: "Why?"

The man obviously had a plan in mind, and said respectfully: "My master wants to invite the young master to meet someone."

Ying Tianchang turned over and said, "Will you die if you say it once?"

The man said: "It's a young master surnamed Zhou."

Ying Tianchang seemed not to hear, and continued to straighten the corpse.The man was not in a hurry, just stood where he was.Suddenly Ying Tian let out a long breath, sat up quietly, stretched out his hand and hastily brushed the sweat-soaked hair on the back of his neck, and said, "Let's go."

The man smiled slightly, went back the same way, and jumped out of the window again, the lightness of his movements was amazing.Ying Tianchang followed after him, and when he fell to the ground, he felt a sharp pain in his head.

It was cooler outside than inside the house, and the light dawn had a bit of cool gray, probably before five o'clock.There was a carriage parked on the empty street, Ying Tianchang took a look at the man and was about to get in the carriage, but the man said: "My lord, please wear this."

Ying Tianchang looked at the black cloth in his hand, was speechless for a while, reached out to take it, and said with a sneer, "It's quite old-fashioned."

The man said: "It's not old-fashioned, it's good if it works."

Ying Tianchang covered his eyes with a black cloth and tied a knot at the back of his head. He supported Che Shi and was about to climb up again. The man said: "Young master, please drink this."

Ying Tianchang said: "Huh? Which one?"

Just as the man was about to speak, Ying Tianchang suddenly extended his arm, pinched his neck with five fingers, and lifted him up.There was a gurgle in the man's throat, and he tried to break Ying Tianchang's hand with both hands.Ying Tianchang pulled him closer, and said softly: "I'm as sleepy as a dog, maybe I'll fall asleep soon, you don't need to be so diligent. There are rules for being a guest, and there are rules for not being a guest. As a guest, I will naturally give you three points, don't overdo everything, don't let me change my mind before meeting your master, it is not good for your master."

The man was trembling all over, his face was blue and purple, and he couldn't speak a word.Ying Tianchang let him go, groped to get into the car by himself, leaned against the wall of the car, drowsy, but couldn't fall asleep again, his consciousness was always floating between half dream and half awake, the pain was beyond words.

After walking for more than half a day, the car finally stopped with a thud.Someone helped him out of the car and walked a few steps carefully.Ying Tianchang only felt the cool breeze blowing on his face, he could smell the bitter breath in his nose, and there seemed to be the sound of water in his ears, he knew it well.It wasn't until the man helped him to sit down that he took off the cloth strips from his eyes.

It doesn't matter if this is uncovered, a big face is close at hand, almost scaring him away.

It really brought back some very bad memories for him.

But this face is not ugly.Rather beautiful.This is a face like a flower.

Although it seems strange to describe a young man in this way, this young man is indeed very beautiful.He was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with red lips, white teeth, and clear eyebrows. He said that it was enough to pretend to be a woman to confuse the real one, but this young man was as beautiful as a young girl.

That is not a kind of quiet beauty, but the facial features have a kind of enchanting and evil nature.If it is really a young girl, it must give most men a headache.

Ying Tianchang couldn't help but wryly smiled and said, "What is this young man doing so close to me? Is there something indecent on my face?"

The young man stepped back a little, Ying Tianchang finally saw the surrounding environment clearly, it was a small room with a sword hanging on a Xuan bottle, quite elegant.The young man sneered and said, "So this is the legendary young master Zhaoyao. At first I thought you were a heavenly man, but it turned out to be nothing more than that, even if you are unkempt, you are still so old."

Ying Tianchang was at a loss: "Huh?"

Without saying a word, the boy got up and walked out.Before Ying Tianchang had time to savor the damage to his pride, several servants came in carrying wooden barrels, wooden stools and other things, bowed and said, "My lord, please take a bath and change clothes."

Ying Tianchang murmured: "Maybe your master is not in a hurry to see me, or maybe you have an appearance access system here."

The answer he got was: "No, Mr. Qu Zhi has been looking forward to meeting the young master for a long time, and he is full of joy. It's just that the young master is tired of running around, so he should take the wind and wash away the dust for the young master."

In line with the principle of doing as the Romans do, he quite cooperatively accepted the full set of services provided by Mr. Qu Zhi, including a light and exquisite meal and a new set of clothes; after all this was over, it was already evening.Ying Tianchang walked through the silent corridor under the guidance of the servant carrying the lantern, and squinted at the black mountain shadow not far away that looked particularly eerie.After the servant led him to the destination, he retreated quietly.

This is a study.There are three people in the room.

Two books facing each other, two people kneeling in front of the book case, are making a post.One of them is Zhou Chenglin, and the other is the youth who is as beautiful as a peach and plum I saw just now.

There was a man standing behind Zhou Chenglin, who was slightly bending over him, as if checking whether he was serious about what he wrote.

The scene was so peaceful and harmonious that Ying Tianchang even forgot what he was here for for a moment.

Fortunately, although the scene is harmonious, it is not so self-contained that it is unaware that someone is visiting.The three looked up at him at the same time.Among them, Zhou Chenglin's gaze allowed Ying Tianchang to immediately conclude that the child's consciousness was clear, and that kind of grief and indignation really made people feel kind like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Ying Tianchang only took one look at him and turned a blind eye to him. By the way, he also ignored the disdainful expression of the young man next to him, and said directly to the man, "Mr. Qu Zhi?"

The man smiled slightly and straightened up: "Should I address Your Excellency Ying Tianchang, or Ding Fengbo?"

The man was neither beautiful, nor ugly, nor very young.While the question should be classified as a tactful threat, he doesn't seem eager to say anything.

Ying Tianchang said: "You can call it whatever you want."

Qu Zhijun sighed, "You don't know how long I've been waiting for this moment."

He stared at Ying Tianchang with almost pulsating eyes. "Since you stepped into this rivers and lakes, I know everyone you pretend to be, everything you do, every opponent, every friend, every life and death, every ups and downs; You yourself know the context better. I read your story better than the funniest storyteller's. But I'm not in a hurry to meet you, but to enjoy the wait; don't get me wrong, it's not that I regret the meeting today."

Ying Tianchang clearly felt the goose bumps on his back along with the cold sweat.

Is there really a person in the world who knows yourself better than yourself?

It’s okay if this person is a friend (in fact, even that is suspicious), but what if he is an enemy?

Regardless of whether he is a friend or an enemy, what kind of plan does he have when he speaks out about this matter so frankly?

Almost at the same time, he was tired of his suspicious personality and instinctively realized that no matter how he reacted, the other party would get pleasure from it.

Ying Tianchang sighed, and said, "Thank you, I'm very touched. The touch is the touch. Can we not involve the child?"

Qu Zhijun said softly: "You misunderstood. I don't have any intention of harming Young Master Zhou. On the contrary, I like him very much. I have always liked smart children."

Zhou Chenglin's hand trembled, and the brush flicked heavily on the paper, obliterating a piece of ink.But he kept his head down, and could only see the hair accessories behind his head.

Ying Tianchang said: "Okay, the matter may not be very serious. You don't intend to harm him, you just intend to make a deal with me. If your wish cannot be fulfilled, he can't leave here. Other things, such as why he would Appearing here, I don’t have to ask any questions.”

Qu Zhijun said: "Yes. You may not agree to me, because you may not save him. So I better not use him to blackmail you. I may lose my wife and lose my army, but I will be revenged by you .”

Ying Tianchang said: "Oh? Is this something I have done?"

Qu Zhijun said: "It's an inference from what you have done."

Ying Tianchang said: "You really know me very well, I feel very scared. But please tell me what I want, maybe it will be easy to do."

Qu Zhijun took two steps towards him, the distance between the two was within a short distance.The young man made quite a noise from the side; Ying Tianchang found that he still couldn't determine anything from this thin face.

Qu Zhijun said: "Yellow Liang."

There was a restrained eagerness on his face. "I haven't had a dream in a long time. I need a dream, even if it's a nightmare."

Ying Tianchang let out a breath slowly, and decided to be honest. "You must know that I am working for Wenhui Palace now."

Qu Zhijun said: "And as the palace master's capable confidant."

Ying Tianchang said: "The yellow beam is the main thing of the palace. I came to Luoyang from outside the pass because of this altar of wine. If I give it to you now, I will not be able to explain to the palace lord."

Qu Zhi Jun said: "What does this have to do with me?"

Ying Tianchang said: "Don't you care about my possible end?"

Qu Zhijun said: "On the contrary, I am very concerned. I want to know the rest of the story, that is an indispensable part of the story."

This is called: total failure to communicate.Ying Tianchang has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has negotiated deals a hundred and eighty times. He has met all kinds of people who are easy to talk to, people who are not easy to talk to, people who bargain, people who turn their faces and deny people, and people like this who are reasonable and completely unable to communicate. Truly unprecedented.He could only express embarrassingly: "It seems that your Excellency deliberately wants to see me suffer."

Qu Zhijun said: "No, your performance is often remarkable, but the most admirable thing among them is the attitude of turning a corner."

Ying Tianchang smiled after exhausting his entire life, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the boy's shoulder.

Before he knew it, he was standing very close to the boy.

The pen in the young man's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and he immediately wanted to dodge it, and if he had time, he wanted to fight back, but his delicate neck just touched Ying Tianchang's fan, and there was an extra bloodstain.The strength of Ying Tianchang's grip on the neck and shoulders made half of his body sore and numb, and he almost sat down.

Frightened, his tears flowed down, and he shouted: "Mr. Qu Zhi, save me!"

He probably shouldn't have said that.But he has no choice, because he has already seen Qu Zhijun's gaze.

There was no anger or disappointment in the way Qu Zhijun looked at him, only a kind of quiet sadness.

That means, as if he has lost a beloved thing!

Qu Zhijun nodded to him reassuringly. "Zhu Jin, don't panic, I know."

The boy named Zhu Jin panicked even more.

What did he know?Has he been decided to give up?

He has always been very favored, and there is no reason to doubt that Mr. Qu Zhi loves him. His intuition even vaguely tells him that this kind of love will not be replaced, because Mr. Qu Zhi likes all beautiful things.So there is no need to even be jealous.

But at this time, Qu Zhijun would make the choice to give up the bargaining chips he got and save him, he didn't even dare to imagine!

Ying Tianchang also kept observing Qu Zhijun's expression, and finally sighed: "I may have done something stupid."

Qu Zhijun said: "You also have no choice."

Ying Tianchang said: "This young master seems to like you very much, if you let him down, you will be very heartbroken."

Qu Zhijun said: "But you have to feel that I seem to be a wolf-hearted person."

Ying Tianchang said: "Leaving that aside for the time being, I think Your Excellency should be a person who cherishes beauty and beauty."

A smile appeared on his face, and his fingers lightly moved to Zhu Jin's pretty and charming chin. "This young man is really beautiful, and I am also moved by it. It just so happens that I just lost the human skin mask. Maybe I can take this opportunity to make a new one, just like going back to my childhood."

Zhu Jin screamed: "Mr. Qu Zhi, save me!!"

Qu Zhijun looked at him with a look of joy and disappointment on his face.Ying Tianchang felt like he was facing the teacher who graded his papers in a young private school.Without blinking, he waited for the torment to pass.

Qu Zhi Jun said: "Yes."

This was very unexpected, even though he had been praying for this result, he couldn't help but confirm: "Yes?"

Qu Zhijun said: "As you said, Zhu Jin is very beautiful, and I love him very much. Think about it, I don't want to lose him. If you don't want to do what you want, Mr. Zhou will give it to you, and Zhu Jin will return it to me."

Zhou Chenglin has been staring at this scene obsessively, as if he didn't realize that all this happened because of him; when he heard his name, he felt like waking up from a dream, but he still didn't look at Ying Tianchang.

Qu Zhijun said again: "In this way, I wonder if your evaluation of me can be higher."

Ying Tianchang smiled wryly, "It's already too tall to be suitable." Even though he said that, he didn't relax Zhu Jin at all, and the cold light of the fan still bit Zhu Jin's throat.

Qu Zhijun said: "Chenglin, you can go to Young Master Zhaoyao."

He suddenly changed his address, and his tone really sounded like Zhou Chenglin's elder; Zhou Chenglin hesitated, stood up, but didn't move, his body was neither facing the direction corresponding to Tianchang, nor the direction of Mr. Qu Zhi.

Qu Zhijun said again: "You go there, he is here to save you."

Looking at the hostages who would not come back until the kidnapper persuaded him, Ying Tianchang felt very sad.He was suddenly afraid that Zhou Chenglin would really refuse to go with him, so this time it would be embarrassing to a certain extent.

Fortunately, Zhou Chenglin hesitated again, and finally moved in his direction. Although he never looked directly into his eyes, he stopped two feet away from him.

Ying Tianchang gently pushed Zhu Jin forward, and Zhu Jin screamed and fell into Qu Zhijun's arms.Qu Zhijun stretched out his hand to support him, and caressed his hair lightly.Ying Tianchang coughed twice, tried in vain to block Zhou Chenglin's sight, and said, "Thanks to the hospitality, we have gained a lot, can we say goodbye?"

Qu Zhijun said: "Good nights are rare, and happy meetings are short, but things in the world are always beautiful if there are shortcomings."

Ying Tianchang tried his best to adapt to his style, and said with a smile: "I hope I can still meet you with my life."

This obviously means something.Qu Zhijun said: "Don't worry too much, you can walk out of this room safely."

It was difficult for Ying Tianchang to decide whether to say that the treatment was beyond his expectations and to be grateful, or to be thicker-skinned and ask for a longer safe distance.Qu Zhijun looked at him, and repeated what he said just now very intimately.

"Your performance is often remarkable, but the most admirable thing among them is the attitude of surviving a desperate situation."

☆、Chapter Four

Rowan was very angry.

He was very angry.

The radiating emotion was so perceptible that half the breakfast guests in the lobby were running away when he walked down the stairs.

When he himself decided to sit down and eat something, the other half couldn't help but retreat.He himself didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper and fellows who were looking at him with a sad face behind the counter, concentrating on the bowl of porridge in front of him, although he didn't quite understand what was in his mouth.

He slept well last night.Anyone who has finally settled down after three long and agonizing days of waiting, especially in this weather, sleeps well.

He really doesn't want to ask for anything more; of course, he knows a lot about human greed, and the so-called contentment is a short-term thing, but at least it is tomorrow's thing.

The whole night's dream continued the scene of yesterday as if he hadn't realized it yet, endless banquets, someone talking, he had to listen to every word, but he didn't hear it, he wanted to see a miracle happen.That's not a miracle, it's just a probability, he had prepared before he came, but the long banquet was scary, even though he was used to red tape, his legs and feet were almost numb; it was short and scary, every minute passed, there were repeated small fires Tormenting his painstaking efforts, a little bit of boiling.Luoyan Dao was by his side, and the cold ironing was more like a mockery than an explanation.So waking up and gradually remembering that all this is over, especially the fact that Ying Tianchang is in the opposite room, he can't help but feel a kind of gladness, the kind of gladness that wakes up after having a nightmare with anyone and sighs that luckily it's not real The feeling is the same.

It was a not too sunny morning.The uneasy turbulence of the air created some gaps in the originally dull heat.Maybe it will rain.

Thinking this way, Luo Wan knocked on the door of Ying Tianchang's room.

After a moment, he pushed the door open.There was no one on the messy bunk.He instinctively looked towards the corners of the room and behind the door, as if a big living person would hide in these corners.

He suddenly doubted his own judgment, and he wanted to laugh at his previously certain sense of gratitude.

Is the dream not over yet?Or was it not a dream at all, but he just couldn't bear it and added a conjectural ending to it?

He could barely stand, and pressed down on the table in the center of the room.Fingers suddenly feel something.

Those were four very illegible characters, but they were enough to be distinguished.

"Never forget when you go home"

Rowan was stunned.

This is not conjecture, it is all reality, including the latest development that Ying Tianchang comes and goes.The first thought that popped into my mind was to regret yesterday's question, as if if it wasn't for that unlucky question, Ying Tianchang would still be here today.

Then he got very angry.

Although these many kinds of negative feelings have different names and degrees, but there should be no misunderstanding in summing up the word anger.

The rain outside the door began to crackle.At the beginning, it was quite anxious and disorganized, as if it had been held in for a long time, and after about a quarter of an hour, it gradually became regular.

Before finishing his breakfast, Rowan had already decided where he was going.He almost gave up paying the rent for the night, and the shopkeeper kindly lent him an old umbrella.Saying it is a loan does not really mean to expect to repay it.Luo Wan held an umbrella and stepped out of the inn where he stayed overnight, and walked forward almost without hesitation.

He is familiar with Luoyang City after all.Although I haven't lived in it for a long time, my childhood memories are still there. The three days of going to and from the market are enough to wake me up.The rain was not heavy, and the rain dripping from the edge of the umbrella still wet the hem of the clothes.After turning a few streets, he stopped in front of a house.Someone came out to answer the door, and when he saw it was him, he couldn't help being taken aback, and hurried in to report.

When Luo Wan walked into the study, Qu Bieyu was waiting for him.

The two of them had known each other since they were young; Qu Bieyu had a gentle personality and was born in the Zanying clan.He likes calligraphy the most, and the two of them speculated on each other, and they became close friends, and there were quite a few days when they swam together; but he hadn't been to Qubieyu's house for a long time.

Rowan suddenly felt regretful.

He cut himself off automatically and spontaneously from the past.Therefore, when he occasionally meets former friends, but they pretend not to know him, he does not feel indignant about the coldness and warmth of human relations, but has a kind of pride in the foresight.

When he received Qu Bieyu's letter, he was surprised and maybe a little embarrassed.He didn't expect that Qu Bieyu would still be willing to be the same as in the past, like those two-sided characters in ancient books.When he read it in the past, he felt very boiling, but now the boiling is at least half cold, as if a person has an illness himself, and he surrounds it like an armor, even if he wants to touch something completely irrelevant, he must Get a discount.He may even maliciously speculate on something worse: Qu Bieyu just said some empty talk, but in fact he secretly hoped that he would ignore it (he had already made this decision), and he also wanted to be virtuous and clean.But he felt that he was very boring to speculate like this, so he wrote a reply letter with cold words, declining Qu Bieyu's visit.

Now that I think about it, what does this have to do with Qubieyu?It was his own subconscious that he felt that he was no longer worthy of making friends with others, but when those old friends left him as he wished, he couldn't help but feel a faint sense of spurning.Qu Bieyu just tried his best to express goodwill, he can be said to have fully felt it, but shelved it.At that time, he probably felt that he no longer needed anything!

The layout of the study has not changed from that year; Qu Bieyu stood up.Luo Wan had to preconceive that it was Qu Bieyu, so that he could use a mentality of seeking proof to connect the person in front of him with the person in front of him with some clues.Wearing a mask the night before, Luo Wan could recognize the old man by his voice; but now in broad daylight, he felt hesitant instead.Qu Bieyu lost a lot of weight, and the shape of his face changed drastically. A pair of bloodshot eyes stared straight at him, with a small fire burning in the innermost part of the pupils.

Just like encountering an opponent full of flaws and not knowing how to attack, Luo Wan didn't know where to start asking. After a pause, he remembered that there is such a versatile magic weapon as clichés in the world, and immediately said: "Is Lingtang and Mrs. Zun still in good health?"

Qu Bieyu stared at him, said: "They are gone."

Luo Wan was taken aback. Qubieyu's old mother had her [-]th birthday last month, and he sent someone to send a congratulatory gift. How could he be so caught off guard? With a second thought, he blurted out: "That's why you went to the Qianpin Banquet? Looking for a salary?" Are you taking revenge? How did something happen to Ling Tang and Mrs. Zun?"

Qu Bieyu said: "No...they didn't..." He sat down slumped, and said: "You were there last night? They haven't..."

Luo Wan put his hands on his shoulders, pressed down, and said, "Speak slowly."

Qu Bieyu turned his head to look at Luo Wan, as if he wanted to avoid it, but he didn't have the strength; the two of them hadn't seen each other for several years, and originally thought that the scene would be very unfamiliar, but unexpectedly, it happened so suddenly that even the unfamiliarity could not be put on the table, and it was head-on An arrow must be fired on the string.

Qu Bieyu's eyes were red, and he explained the matter intermittently.It turned out that on the day of the Ghost Festival, his mother and wife disappeared suddenly, and the servants at home didn't realize it. They only left a letter, asking for a sky-high ransom, and delivered it at the designated place three days later, otherwise they would die.Although the Qu family is self-sufficient, they are far from being extremely rich, how did they get so much money in a hurry, they are at Liushen Wuzhu's place, unexpectedly, the next day, the other party cut off Mrs. Qu's arm and sent it to him.Qubieyu didn't dare to report to the official, and was desperate, so he went to Qianpinyan after being instructed by others, and used the family-heired sword as a bargaining chip, hoping to meet a martial arts master and help him rescue his mother and wife.

"Actually, I know that there is no hope....The letter said that I am only allowed to go alone. If I see others, I will definitely...but even if people cannot be rescued, I at least want to take revenge. I have never understood these things. it's me……"

Qubieyu covered his cheek with his hand, and moaned, the voice was like crying and laughing.By now, he couldn't even cry.

After listening to him silently, Luo Wan said after a while: "If you can trust me..."

Qu Bieyu's eyes fell on the Falling Goose Saber at his waist, and he shook his head. "No need, after the banquet last night, I have met a... you said, knight, I gave him the sword..."

Rowan said, "He threatened you?"

Qu Bieyu said shyly: "No...he promised to solve it for me...not revenge, he said he could save people...but he doesn't want me to go, he seems to be able to change, disguise, pretend to be me look..."

This statement was unexpectedly very reliable, Luo Wan thought about it, and then asked: "When are you going to meet?"

Qu Bieyu said: "Shenshi, in Feishang Tower."

Rowan said: "I will go with you."

Qu Bieyu said: "There are still less than two hours."

He got up suddenly, staggered towards the outside, came back with three wine jars, put them on the ground, and said, "I remember you are huge."

Luo Wan said: "You remember wrong."

Qu Bieyu smiled and said: "Did I remember wrong? I really don't know how much you drink, because every time I get drunk first. I don't know what's so good about wine. The poems say it's jade liquid, I just think it What I drank is two different things! I just know now. I know how good wine is!"

Not only was his face, which had not slept for three days, not pale like a dead man, but it showed a kind of vitality that was close to madness. His eyes were as sharp as blades, and scratches seemed to be left wherever he glanced.Luo Wan suddenly got up, held him down and said, "You can't drink like this."

Qu Bieyu stared at him, and said: "Otherwise, how do you want me to last till Shen Shi?"

The rain had stopped long ago, and the weather became even hotter, as if the thick curtain of heat had been torn apart with tiny cracks, and then it was repaired with an even worse momentum.The sunlight steamed the semi-wet ground, looking like torture.

Luo Wan stood at the door of the study, looking at the fluffy grass between the gravel roads.Qu Bieyu was lying on the desk, already falling asleep.

He also drank a jug of wine; but Qu Bieyu remembered correctly, the wine was nothing to him.If wine can really forget worries, he will undoubtedly use this method himself.

Maybe he should take advantage of this time to leave quietly.Just as he rejected Qu Bieyu's kindness, Qu Bieyu had no place for him in his life, and it was not his turn to intervene in this matter, but it was a mistake, and his appearance seemed abrupt and uncoordinated. Just like the fearful and sad eyes of the passing servants looking at him.

But at this moment, there was nothing but gratitude in his heart.

There was movement behind him, Luo Wan turned around, and saw Qu Bieyu raising his head with difficulty, his expression was full of doubts, he didn't know why he appeared here, suddenly reacted, and laughed again.

"You still here?"

"The application time is approaching, let's go." Rowan said.

Feishang Tower.

He has not been to this place for a long time.The fragments of memory are extremely thin, unable to stir up any fluctuations.

The afternoon sun slanted on the floor through the wooden lattice windows, which made people feel sleepy.

Perhaps it is because of this that there are neatly arranged wine jars in the counter, and the tables and chairs after the customers dispersed at noon have not been placed against the wall, but there is no sign of the store and the staff.

Maybe they all went to nap.

Luo Wan and Qu Bieyu walked into Feishang Building.The only guest in the building was waiting for them.

This is a handsome young man, wearing expensive silk and satin clothes, stroking the dagger named Xingsha.

Judging from the corner of his mouth with a smile, there is absolutely no possibility of failure in what Qubieyu asked him to do.

Qu Bieyu's expression didn't change, and there was an unexpected sense of calm, as if he had returned to calm at this moment of life and death."Are they all right?" he asked.

The boy said: "Very good."

Qu Bieyu murmured: "Very good!"

For a person who doesn't know martial arts, his movements are very fast, because there is no pause in the middle.

But the dagger only pierced his skin.His wrist was firmly grasped by Rowan.

Rowan didn't look at him, but just looked at the boy.Since he came into the building, he didn't look at Qu Bieyu again.

"Is this the man?" he asked.

Qubieyu didn't answer.

Luo Wan said again: "Do you think I will die here?"

Qu Bieyu's lips trembled violently, but he still didn't answer.

But the young man smiled and said: "He must think that you will die here, even I can see it, otherwise why would he commit suicide?"

Luo Wan let go of Qubieyu, and the Luoyan Knife slipped out of its sheath soundlessly, like a fish and dragon that had escaped from the bottom of the water.The smooth blade is raised flat, with the tip pointing forward.The knife so obedient and shining was not his companion, or his servant; it was a part of his body, his blood and bone.

"I have very few friends," he said.

He thought he didn't need anything anymore.

This is of course not true.Since people
