Chapter 187: Gambling Contract
When it got dark, there were snowflakes in the sky, and it didn't rain much, but the temperature was obviously colder than the previous nights. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoPeople who have been busy for a day of livelihood have hurriedly packed up their stalls and gone home, many shops have closed early, and the road is suddenly deserted, but the mutton hot pot shop at the corner of the street is still open at this time, and the business is obviously better than during the day, the small stoves on the table are burning vigorously, and the hot white mist dispels the cold of many snowy nights.
Bai Yan came here to eat hot pot alone, but the pot on his table had just opened, and when he was about to serve mutton, a person suddenly sat in front of him. But Bai Yanyan didn't raise his eyes, and he didn't stop the action of getting down the mutton, but just said casually: "Are you specially guarding here? Why can I run into you every time I come here." β
"You love the hot pot here. Situ Jing was still wearing a wide cloak and a hat, most of his face was hidden in the shadows, and his voice was neither yin nor yang, so he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Bai Yan said: "This shop is inconspicuous, but it is a time-honored brand, this pot of soup base, it can't be adjusted without thirty years of effort, even this knife worker who cuts mutton, it takes at least ten years of experience, and his seasoning, which is not available in other houses." β
"I think I really like it. When Situ Jing said this, he suddenly sneered, "It's just that why do you always come here to eat alone?"
Bai Yan asked rhetorically, "What's wrong?"
Situ Jing said: "People who love each other don't always want to share everything they have with each other, as long as they think it's delicious, good-looking, and fun, they will definitely want each other to come and taste it together, take a look, and have fun." β
Bai Yan scooped up the soaked mutton, and after eating it slowly, he glanced at Situ Jing, and there was some surprise in his eyes: "Have you ever loved it?"
Situ Jing paused for a moment before he said again: "You never thought of bringing her over to taste what you like, or did she not want to come with you to touch this fishy smoke at all." β
Bai Yan ate quickly, but he was not in a hurry, he still looked so leisurely, and he was enjoying it.
Situ Jing couldn't wait for his answer, so he sneered again: "I believe that you love her, such a woman, it is difficult for a man not to be attracted to her, especially a conceited man like you, but I also know what you are thinking." β
After Bai Yan finally warmed up after eating, he put down his chopsticks, poured himself a glass of wine that was so warm that he knocked it to the good point, drank it slowly, tasted it again, and then glanced at him: "You have been thinking about the little thing between me and her all day long?"
Situ Jing ignored his words, and continued: "I also know that she doesn't trust you as much as you think, and I believe you know it in your own heart." β
Bai Yan smiled, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were dyed with a melt smile, such a plump and handsome face, in this snowy night, there was an indescribable elegance, he still didn't answer Situ Jing's words, but just poured himself another glass of wine.
Situ Jing didn't seem to care about his attitude, and still spoke unhurriedly: "You want to regain your position as the Great Incense Master when she and I fight until both sides are exhausted, since I know about this, she must also understand it in her heart." She didn't move you now because she still needed you, and thought she would win in the end, but unfortunatelyβ" Situ Jing said this, shaking his head slightly, "You also know in your heart that she is doomed to fail, because this plan was originally made by you." And the only thing I'm curious about is, when she fails miserably, will you save it?"
Bai Yan dried the glass of wine in his hand, and then raised his eyes: "You mean Bai Guanghan." β
Situ Jing said: "You know very well who you are. β
Bai Yan didn't pour any more wine, just gently shook the wine glass in his hand.
Situ Jing said: "Xianggu is bound to Changxiang Palace, I can leave you a seat as a great incense master, if you are reluctant, I can also leave you her life, and I, as long as you make a promise." β
Bai Yan still didn't speak, but there was a smile on his lips, the lamp above his head was blown from side to side by the wind, and the flickering candlelight also made the expression on his face unpredictable.
Situ Jing looked at him and said, "As long as you, don't be my enemy." β
Bai Yan put down his wine glass, took out the silver and put it on the table, then stood up, and turned his head to look at the empty street outside, the snow seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. He walked out of the store, he gave Xiao Er a few copper coins, and asked Xiao Er to call him a carriage, while waiting for the carriage, Situ Jing walked up to him and said again: "She has been planted with incense Gu, do you know what she will become in the end?"
Bai Yan stood under the eaves with his hands in his hands, looking at the snowflakes falling in the sky: "I want to hear it in detail." β
Situ Jing said: "Due to the influence of the incense Gu, at the beginning, she will feel that she is getting stronger and stronger, but it won't be long before she becomes weak, and eventually completely loses the ability of the Great Incense Master. β
Bai Yan retracted his gaze and glanced at him: "As far as I know, this matter is unprecedented, so it is just your speculation. β
Situ Jing said: "This is not my speculation, but what you told me, Mr. Guanghan." β
Bai Yan's eyes condensed slightly, and his expression turned cold.
Situ Jing said: "You don't have to think about it, no one has planted incense Gu for Mr. Guanghan, it was Mr. Guanghan who saw the records of his predecessors from ancient books, so he found me." β
Bai Yan suddenly showed a smile on his face, very shallow, but that smile was in his eyes, but Situ Jing didn't see it.
"With that, you're finally admitting that you're a peacock. β
Situ Jing didn't answer, just glanced at the carriage that Xiao Er had already found, then tidied up the cloak on his body a little, and said one last thing before turning around: "Remember what I said, as long as you don't become an enemy of me, the promise I gave you will always be valid." β
The carriage stopped in front of Bai Yan, and the coachman got out of the car and diligently lifted the curtain for him: "Childe, where are you going?"
Bai Yan thought for a while, and only after getting into the car did he say, "Jingfu Baiyuan." β
β¦β¦
When he returned to Baiyuan, An Lan had already fallen asleep, and the maid waiting outside the house didn't stop him, but the movement of him taking off the big hat woke An Lan up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw him standing by the bed, and smelled the smell of mutton on his body, so he said, "Go eat hot pot?"
Bai Yan smiled, sat on the edge of her bed, leaned down and kissed her on the forehead: "The nose is still so smart." β
An Lan glanced at him and felt that he seemed to be a little different tonight, so she asked, "Who have you seen?"
Bai Yan asked rhetorically: "Do you remember the bet between you and me?"
"If I first determine who the peacock is, you will hand me Mr. Guanghan's letter. An Lan looked at him and said, "In this way, you already know and confirm that Situ Jing is a peacock!"
Bai Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and only said after a moment: "He admitted it himself." β
An Lan asked, "Then he also admits that he is Chuanlian?"
White Flame: "......"
An Lan glanced at him lightly, turned around and closed her eyes: "Our gambling contract is not over yet, you don't need to be in such a hurry to win, I'm sleepy, you go out." β
White Flame: "......"
