The man messed up and hurried away.

When he left the small courtyard, Yan Shou was covered in sweat.

He walked very intimidatingly, huddled in the alley, his head bowed, his shoulders shrunk, his clothes soaked, twisted together, carrying the black wooden box, feeling that the wooden box that had nothing to hold was as heavy as a mountain at the moment.

In a trance, he began to regret what he had just done in the small courtyard, and he wanted to give himself a slap in the face.

The girl is not mute.

That girl is the favorite plaything of the big man in the imperial city, and she is just a doctor who spends money to do things, what does that big man want...... How can I have this qualification to speculate?

The heavenly capital is full of the eyes of the royal family.

He began to think back to the details of every meeting he had seen over the years.

Why was the girl reluctant to speak?

Not only was his back soaked, but his forehead was also oozing fine sweat particles, his fingers began to tremble, and he couldn't even walk steadily.

The unknown big man in Tiandu settled the girl in this courtyard, and he couldn't smell the slightest smell of outsiders...... Yan Shou's throat twitched, and he thought of a very terrifying thing.

Someone said to himself that the entire heavenly capital was stared at by the "eyes" of the royal family, and the wind and grass could not escape their sight.

The canary's cage door is open.

You can even come in yourself...... So what about this lonely and arrogant girl who doesn't try to run away?

Because the girl knew that everything she had done was futile, useless, and meaningless.

Yan Shou felt the sound of whimpering wind faintly coming from his back, and the sound of soft footsteps in the alley that did not belong to him.

Noon had come, and the midday sun had swept through the two narrow walls, and the alley was cloudy, and there was not the slightest light in sight.

There was a "clang" and the black medicine box smashed on the ground.

The man did his best, holding on to the wall with both hands, and slowly turned around to make himself look less embarrassed.

A huge shadow stood in front of Yan Shou turning around, forcing only a foot away, like an iron wall.

The man said softly, "Have you ever said what to do and what not to do?"

Yan Shou trembled like a sieve, leaning against the wall, gradually weakening, and slowly fell to the ground.

The man nodded and smiled softly: "You have been doing it for a year, I thought you knew the rules." ”

Yan Shou's voice was as ugly as crying.

He grabbed the ground with his head, one blood pit at a time, and after dozens of strokes, Yan Shou raised his head, looked up at the shadow, his face was covered with blood, and he cried loudly and said hoarsely: "Big, my lord...... Again....... Give it a chance....... Please, please......."

The shadow frowned.

His voice was as soft as the wind, and he said slowly, "No matter what...... You touched her hand. ”

Yan Shou's eyes were filled with a hint of confusion.

The shadow squatted down, and a big hand shrouded the top of Yan Shou's head, as if touching a docile cat and dog, and said softly Don't be afraid.

The other hand was aimed at Yan Shou's neck and slowly swiped through.

The wind dissipated, and a continuous line of blood, pulled from the severed neck, sticky and fishy.

The shadow who stood up, looking at the ugly head that was picked up by himself, couldn't help but shake his head, and threw it on the bluestone slab in the alley, "snap", and smashed a pit on the thin snow, the heat rose, and the blood flowed.

Die with a grievance or everlasting regret.

......

......

Xu Qingyan sat behind the wooden table in the small courtyard, she looked at the dazzling light outside the eaves, and Xiao Zhao stood beside her.

She is much smarter than Yan Shou.

She knows what kind of style her brother is doing...... If the wooden door of a courtyard can be easily pushed open, then there must be a tighter lock, and Xu Qingke prefers to use ethereal rules to restrict people's hearts than the actual "lock".

Xu Qingyan slowly understood that no matter where he went, Ganye Temple or Tiandu Imperial City, he was always just a commodity.

The value of her existence, for herself, is just "living".

To "live" just for the sake of "living" and to endure the pain of life's journey is actually a meaningless thing.

But her value to her brother is more than just "living".

Rather, it is "alive" with a certain posture.

She had already guessed that this doctor was not here to treat her illness at all, and the divinity in her body had never diminished, but was becoming more and more violent, and her brother wanted more.

Xu Qingke still has to wait for a better time before he is willing to push himself out and push himself in front of the world?

Or is it pushed in front of someone?

Xu Qingyan could never guess his plans.

But she was powerless to resist, this was the most painful thing, and she could only go with the flow.

Xu Qingyan silently clenched her ten fingers, she took a deep breath, and looked at the wooden door that had been reopened not long after it was closed.

It's not that Yan Shou went and returned.

His brother pushed open the door of the small courtyard and nodded to himself with a smile, as if he had not seen each other for a few hours, and the smile in his eyes was disgusting.

"He's dead. ”

Xu Qingke said softly: "I won't let you be wronged at all, your body can't be touched by anyone." ”

Xu Qingyan pursed his lips and looked at the man's thin face.

All this happened less than half an hour before Yan Shou left.

A human head fell to the ground, and it was not yet cool in the heavy snow, and the brother, who had not seen each other for a year, pushed open the door of his wooden house as if he was strolling leisurely.

Xu Qingyan looked around cautiously, she didn't see the slightest arrangement, the courtyard had been renovated by her and Xiao Zhao, and all the artifacts that might have hidden the Starlight Array had been thrown away.

The empty cage was still swaying in the wind.

The fierce musk deer has a strong wary intuition, and if this yard is really weird, then these fierce musk deer, unsuspecting, come here one after another...... Is it because of their own divinity that they don't have the slightest sense of it?

Unable to solve.

She didn't know how her brother had found out about it.

She felt a deep sense of despair.

"Tomorrow there will be a new doctor to 'treat' you. Xu Qingke looked at the girl with a smile, and said in a gentle voice: "You have to be obedient and cooperate with others, otherwise that person will also die...... If someone dies because of this, then you are to blame, you just need to be obedient and nothing will happen, understand?"

Xu Qingyan looked at his brother.

She nodded slightly.

"Live well, if you don't think this yard is big enough...... I can get you a bigger one. Xu Qingke said softly: "If you have anything you want, you just need to say it, and someone will arrange everything properly." ”

Xu Qingyan listened to these words and became even more silent.

She was already living in the dark, but it was as if she had been stripped naked, naked without any privacy or secrets.

Every word she said, my brother could hear it.

Every job she does, her brother sees it.

She had the idea of resisting, but she always failed...... As long as she can't walk in the light for a day, then she will never be able to get rid of her brother's control.

Fierce musk deer yearn for freedom, and someone will open the cage for them.

Who will open the cage for themselves?

Xu Qingyan laughed at herself, and she whispered to the man in front of her, "I want to know what's going on outside." ”

Xu Qingke said calmly: "No. ”

Xu Qingyan was silent for a moment, she maintained a posture of sitting upright, lifted her hat, and revealed her shocking face with a calm bearing.

The maid Xiao Zhao lowered her head, not daring to say a word, her hands were clenched tightly, her fingertips pinched into her fingertips, and she trembled.

Xu Qingke was unmoved.

He looked indifferently at his sister's alluring face, and said lightly: "If you lift this hat in front of the next doctor, then he will not live for a quarter of an hour." ”

Xu Qingyan looked at her brother, she lifted her hat so that the other party could see her eyes.

Then know your determination.

"Killing a man is your way of intimidating me, but you will never be able to apply it to me. Xu Qingyan said softly: "You want me to live, live longer, and wait until you find the right opportunity...... and then to achieve certain goals. ”

The man looked at his sister calmly.

He said quietly, "Are you negotiating with me?"

"This is not a negotiation, this is a demand. Xu Qingyan smiled and said, "You can also see it as a threat. ”

The girl paused and said, "If you don't agree, I'll find an opportunity to kill myself." ”

When these words were spoken, her expression did not change at all, living was originally a very tiring thing, she was tired of it, if death was the end...... Maybe that's a good ending.

"Trust me, you can't do it. ”

"Perhaps...... What if I kill myself when I enter the palace? Everything you do becomes a joke. Xu Qingyan looked at his brother and said word by word: "You want to send me to the palace, but if I die, what will be the end?"

The man leaning in front of the small courtyard, after hearing this sentence, his whole body changed, he stared at his sister, and the atmosphere in the whole courtyard became as heavy as a cloud.

Xiao Zhao knelt down, trembling all over.

Xu Qingke stared at the girl.

"I just want to know what's going on out there. Xu Qingyan tried to make his voice sound calm and not tremble, took a deep breath and said, "Is this excessive?"

It's been a long time.

Xu Qingke said in a stiff tone: "From tomorrow, I will meet your requirements." ”

"But...... Xu, Qing, Yan. He paused, and then said, "If you threaten me with 'suicide' next time, believe me, you will regret it." ”

The maid Xiao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, she almost collapsed to the ground, her palms were full of sweat, looking at her own young lady who was slowly putting on her hat, I don't know where she got the courage to resist?

Xu Qingyan's eyes hidden under the hood had a hint of mockery.

Her ten fingers pinched out blood marks in the palm of her hand, which was shocking.

Is this considered a win?

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, pinched a cold sweat at her bold behavior, and then slowly thought again, when did she rise that courage?

She thought of what the young man named Ning Yi had said to herself.

"The world is uneven, and a sword is even. ”

Xu Qingyan has no sword, she only has one life to use as a weight, and for more than ten years, she has humbly been like a lonely boat, crumbling in the turbulent turmoil of power schemes.

In her life, she has never met a person who is truly good to her.

Ning Yi is the only exception.
