Seventy Aspen
The closed-door drum in the distance had already begun to beat, and the sound of six hundred drums meant that there were only ten minutes left before the curfew began, but it didn't matter anymore, the wind blew Zhou Yanbo's robe whirring, but Zhou Yanbo didn't seem to hear it.

"What did you just say?" Zhou Yanbo suspected that he had misheard, so he asked.
"Knowingly ask!" Qing Yuai said, the short knife was already aimed at Zhou Yanbo's heart, and immediately moved, the goal was naturally to solve Zhou Yanbo.
"It's not Qingyu Ai, you listen to me, I will never do something like that!" Zhou Yanbo explained to the other party while dodging, but Zhou Yanbo didn't notice his explanation, more like he made a mistake to explain something to the other party.
"Come less! I don't want to listen to your explanation!" Qing Yuai attacked Zhou Yanbo with a dagger in his hand, and several times the short knife almost injured Zhou Yanbo.
"I'm telling the truth, I really haven't done anything out of the ordinary!" Zhou Yanbo grabbed the oncoming short knife with his empty hand and said while he was panting.
"Shut up! I don't want to listen!" Qingyu Ai didn't listen to Zhou Yanbo's explanation at all, and stabbed Zhou Yanbo with a goose feather in her other hand, forcing Zhou Yanbo to let go of the short knife and flash to the side.
"That was my sister's last resort when she was helping you heal, and it really has nothing to do with me. Zhou Yanbo retreated to the rear, dodging Qing Yuai's short knife from time to time.
"I said I didn't want to hear it!"
"The little girl has gone mad and can't listen to a word now. Seeing this situation, Zhou Yanbo gave such a definition, but what Zhou Yanbo said was also correct, it is strange that girls are not crazy when they encounter such things. Just when Zhou Yanbo was dodging, he accidentally stepped on a mossy stone, Zhou Yanbo's center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground, leaning against a tree, "It's this time!" Zhou Yanbo could only complain about his bad luck.
Seeing this, Qingyu Ai immediately stepped forward and knelt on Zhou Yanbo's chest with both legs, grabbed his placket with one hand, and raised a short knife with the other hand to aim at his throat.
"It's over, crazy girls can't afford to mess with them. Zhou Yanbo thought, "If there is an afterlife, you must not mess with girls." Thinking of this, Zhou Yanbo could only close his eyes, because Qing Yuai's short knife had already moved. In the next second, there was no movement, and in the next second, there was still no movement, not even a trace of coldness, a trace of pain.
Zhou Yanbo opened his eyes suddenly, the short knife came down, not much distance from his throat, but he kept trembling, "Qingyu Ai...... You?"
"Why?" Qingyu Ai whispered.
"What?"
"Why do you want to save me?" Qing Yuai finally said what was on her mind, "You have already defeated me, why don't you kill me and save me? Do you know that I am not worthy of your rescue! Death is a relief for me!"
Zhou Yanbo just looked at Qing Yuai silently, the other party's face was already covered with tears, I don't know if it was real tears or the rain that had already fallen. "This stupid girl. Zhou Yanbo thought in his heart, "My hands are covered with blood, have you already seen death not far away?" ā
Zhou Yanbo gently took the short knife from Qing Yuai's hand and put it back in the scabbard, took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on Qing Yuai's face, and said softly: "Because I can't see girls suffering, just like now I can't see you crying." ā
"Whether it's a professional killer or a mysterious assassin, it's not up to you to bear. Zhou Yanbo slowly stood up and helped Qingyu Ai up, "Because in my eyes, you are just a playful little girl, and you shouldn't have such a burden." ā
"Is that because of this?" asked Qing Yuai.
"Of course, girls are not used for pain and love, but not for bullying. Zhou Yanbo said, and suddenly saw the scene when he rescued Zhou Yansu from Meng Huanglong's men a year ago.
Zhou Yanbo said with a smile after calming Qingyu Ai: "It really rained a lot just now, look, it got you wet, hurry over and wash your face." After saying that, he took her hand and walked forward, at this time the closed door drum had already hit six hundred times, and it was curfew time.
But Qing Yuai seemed reluctant to go, "What's the matter?" Zhou Yanbo asked.
"If ......" Qing Yuai lowered her head, "I run away from there now, will you take me in?"
"Huh?"
"Not everyone wants to be an assassin, I'm tired of it. Qing Yuai fiddled with her hair and said, "There were many people who said they wanted to help me, but all I could see was naked greed, no matter where I went, they saw me as a tool in their eyes, so I ......"
"Aren't you afraid I'm also a greedy person?"
"No, it won't. Qing Yuai took out a piece of paper, and there was only one sentence on it: "Take care of yourself." This is the letter that Zhou Yanbo left for him, Zhou Yanbo didn't expect her to keep it, "Just because of this paper." ā
Zhou Yanbo smiled, took the piece of paper from Qing Yuai's hand and tore it to shreds, "This piece of paper is no longer needed, let's go." ā
ā¦ā¦
"Why haven't you come yet?" Zhou Yansu looked at the gate of the courtyard and said anxiously, "Dad, they won't be caught, right?"
"Don't worry, that guy can easily jump up the ten-zhang city wall with you, and it's more than enough to avoid those guards, don't worry too much. Yun Yun said.
Just like Yun Yun said, it didn't take long for the two of them to enter the courtyard, which made everyone really relieved, but seeing the tear stains on Qing Yuai's eyes and the stains on Zhou Yanbo's robe, everyone was still curious about what happened to them, Zhou Yanbo just made a perfunctory explanation with rain and accidental slipping.
"Young Master Zhou, it's been a long time. A middle-aged man stepped forward to say hello.
Zhou Yanbo looked at the person in front of him suspiciously and said, "Your Excellency looks a little familiar, I don't know where we met." ā
"Haha, it's normal that Young Master Zhou doesn't know me, but we met in the Zhou family manor, I don't know if Young Master Zhou still remembers the assassin who was let go by you. ā
"The assassin who let go?" Zhou Yanbo thought for a moment and said, "You are the assassin who came to assassinate me." ā
"That's right, the person I deliberately revealed to you before I left to repay your kindness. The middle-aged man laughed.
"But why are you here?"
"I didn't want to do it, it was Lord Qing who called me to Wuyi, I thought I was here to deal with you again, but I didn't expect Lord Qing to let me wait here to help you, it really surprised me. ā
"Lord Qing, Qingyu Ai?" Zhou Yanbo said in surprise.
The middle-aged man nodded: "Everyone, please come to the house, it's cold outside." I prepared tea and snacks. ā
After a few people sat down around the table, Yun Yun took the lead in asking, "What should I do next? Wait until tomorrow to find a way to get out of the city?"
"We are already in the middle of the matter, it is already impossible to run, and if this matter is not resolved, we will have no reason to leave Wuyi. Zhou Yanbo said, "I think the other party has mastered our identity, even if we escape, the other party may come to the door by themselves, after all, it is the largest free family, and its influence is still very strong." ā
"So what now?"
"To solve this matter, you must understand the ins and outs of the matter, and the one who knows this matter best is undoubtedly Xun Wenyu, so the next step is to find a way to get the truth out of his mouth. ā
"You're not going to break into the dragon's den, are you?" Zhou Haixu said.
"You can't break into the dragon's den, but it's still possible to lure the dragon out of it. Zhou Yanbo said with a smile.
"You mean to get the other party here? is it possible?"
"The other party is the second young master of the Xun family, maybe the curfew will not work for him, and even if it works, his light skills are not vegetarian. Zhou Yanbo said, "I think the other party should come, after all, there is still his share in this matter." ā
Zhou Yanbo looked at Qingyu Ai: "So I need someone to lure him out of the dragon's lair, and Qingyu Ai is the most suitable, light skills are the first in our place, and they can stealth skills." Now I just need to write a letter to lure him over, do you have pen and ink?" The middle-aged man immediately walked into the room and took out pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and put it on the table, Zhou Yanbo thought for a while, and wrote a letter to Qing Yuai
"Please, go for a while, be sure to hand him over to him in person, if you want to, bring him here, forget it if you don't want to, find another way then, remember: safety first!"
Qing Yuai nodded, and then took the letter and set off.
"Now it's just a matter of waiting. ā
"Will the other party come?" asked Zhou Yansu.
"I'm not sure enough. If Xun Wenyu is a stubborn person who attaches great importance to the family, there is nothing I can do. Zhou Yanbo said, then looked at the middle-aged man, "I don't know Your Excellency's name yet." ā
"My surname is Bai, and my single name is Yang. ā
"Aspen, what is the name of a tree? Zhou Yansu laughed.
Poplar smiled helplessly, "I have no choice." ā
"Alright. Zhou Yanbo interrupted, "Poplar, I want to know everything about the 'Blood Eagle', please tell as much as you know." ā
"This ......," Poplar scratched his head, "I don't know much, after all, my status in the 'Blood Eagle' is not high, and I don't have much access to information. ā
"Whatever comes to mind, such as why you call Qingyu Ai 'Qingda'. ā
"This one. Bai Yang said, "Qingda's status is higher than mine, and it is normal for me to call her that, and everyone in the organization is like this." ā
"How do you rank them?"
"I know this, but let me ask Young Master Zhou first that there should be a lot of 'Blood Eagle' assassins along the way, know the names of a few people, in fact, our ranking is in the name. ā
"The names of the people I know?" Zhou Yanbo muttered, "I only know three people, you Baiyang's, Qingyuai's, and a strange person named Yin Nanming, just these three." ā
"What!" Bai Yang stood up in shock, "Yin Nanming, how could you have met him?"
Several people felt very strange about Poplar's behavior, and Zhou Yanbo asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Yang took a deep breath and said, "I won't hide it from you, in fact, the ranking of 'Blood Eagle' is in our surname. ā
