Chapter 3: The Prologue of the Scarlet Word (II)
Qu Hanyan and Chan'er walked behind a group of people, and when they entered the door of Chan'er's room in the courtyard, Chan'er said to Qu Hanyan:
"I went in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Wait." Qu Hanyan stopped Chan'er and said, "Come to my room tonight." ”
"What about you?"
"Of course I'm in my room."
"Why? The total catch is here, will something happen? ”
"The general arrest is here, and the main drama is just about to be staged, so you can come and talk about it."
After Qu Hanyan finished speaking, he didn't give Chan'er time to refute, and walked to the second courtyard. Chan'er hesitated, but still followed.
When he walked to the front of the second west chamber, Qu Hanyan stared at Ruoyi's room on the north side and was stunned for a moment, before opening his room on the south side and walking in, and sat down at the table outside. After Chan'er closed the door, she also sat down next to Qu Hanyan. Chan'er saw that Qu Hanyan was closing her eyes and meditating, so she didn't make a sound to disturb, but Qu Hanyan closed her eyes and opened her mouth:
"Plans often don't keep up with changes, things have changed, and we should change our actions to deal with them, but he has already started to act, and we can't delay."
"Who is 'he' you are talking about, and who is that key person? What did he do? ”
"He's testing the contact with words, so that the person he really wants to see will show up to meet him."
"You mean...... Ding Fu? ”
Hearing Chan'er's speculation, Qu Hanyan suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Chan'er with an unfathomable gaze and said:
"It's good that I brought you here, maybe you will be the key to helping me break through the clouds."
"Do you mean that what Ding Fu said to Ruoyi was to test whether she was the person he was looking for? Then he is really Jiang ......"
"Shhhh Qu Hanyan put his right index finger on his lips.
"If he tempts Ruoyi, then what he is looking for is a woman." Chan'er changed her questions and said, "You didn't know this before, did you, so who did you mean to want me to disturb?" ”
"If Ding Fu dies and the killer is found to be a woman, wouldn't you be able to share one more suspicion?" Qu Hanyan finally answered Chan'er's question positively.
"Could it be that 'she' is your person, and that action of you was sending a message at that time......"
"Well, you haven't met before. Originally, I stuffed the note to her and wanted her to find out who that person's helper was before killing Ding Fu, but now Ding Fu's action, coupled with the words Ruo Yi said to me, made everything clearer. ”
"I know there are some things I won't tell you if I ask you more, but why do you think that that man's helper will confide in you? Kill Ding Fu, and you may never know those secrets. ”
"I've heard of your refusal to kill people on the battlefield. But I am not you, and I will not be merciful to my enemies. As long as there are people who know the secret, I don't worry about the day when the secret is not revealed. Rather than save his life and give him the opportunity to give instructions on that person's behalf, I chose to strangle their plot in the cradle first. When Qu Hanyan said this, he saw Chan'er's meaningful eyes, and said with a smile, "What do you mean by looking at me like this?" ”
"That person is your enemy, but this time it is not necessarily you who will be the victim, you will crush his dreams before determining who is his target, maybe you will help yourself, but you are more likely to save others. You always say you're not a good person, but you do good deeds, don't you? ”
"You don't have to speak so noble about me. Whoever my enemy wants to deal with, I don't want him to get his way, and I will destroy whatever he wants, and this is just one of the ways for me to take revenge. Good people often only get a painful reward for their kindness, and I will never repeat that mistake. And don't you think you're unconvincing too? Qu Hanyan chuckled lightly and continued, "You don't want to hurt people casually, in the face of your parents' hatred, no matter how clear your grievances are, at least you want the life of Emperor Jing of Yi Guo." And you have no control over the people around you, even if you repeatedly want to reduce casualties, it is inevitable that someone will be innocently implicated, and Emperor Jing has taken the price of the collapse of the entire country. You should know that revenge, once it starts, it is impossible to stop easily. Why, looking at your expression, it all made me right, and every sentence pierced your heart? ”
"yes...... My family hatred alone has made everything unrecoverable, not to mention that you are even more burdened with national hatred. I understand that you can't help yourself. ”
"Forget it, I'm destined to be a devil, and instead of trying to save me, you should think about how to protect yourself from being tainted."
"Eh......"
"Huh?"
"Don't you think it's getting more and more frequent to argue with me?"
"The closer you get, the more you hate it, but you are still willing to endure the nightmare of being tied to me for those Li Mins, who have nothing to do with you at all. On that level, I'm so glad I got to know you in this life. ”
"No way, who made me believe that if it was you, it would not be as harsh and tyrannical as Emperor Liu, and you can be a good emperor."
"Yes, and your blind faith. In this world, if there are three people who believe in me, you are one so-so. ”
"Who are the other two?"
"My brother Yuehuai, and ...... Ruoyi. Qu Hanyan's voice softened significantly when he mentioned Ruoyi's name, "I just wanted to use her at first, I think there must be something wrong with this Liufeng Tower, even if it is not a nest, at least it is also a stronghold for their deliberations, and from the people here, especially a woman like her, I can hear some news." You're right, I've been seducing Ruoyi all along, and I want to capture her heart and make her work for me. I've been here many times in the past six months, and I've invested a lot in her. I made up a story about my own life experience, not an outward identity but a story about something else, except for the things that involved real hatred, half of the way I presented her was the real me. Perhaps it was this combination of truth and falsehood that made her more credible, and she had no suspicion of me and trusted me wholeheartedly. So one day, we fell in love but didn't stop being polite, and I realized that I was her first man. It's ridiculous to say, but I have a feeling of emotion and warmth that I have been lost for a long time. And today, after losing her, I finally admit to myself that I actually like her and pity her. ”
"Then you're going to take her revenge on your back too?"
"Yes, once I find out who killed her, I will kill her."
"But even you yourself have become one of the suspects, what is your name is not good, it must be called 'Wang Shi'."
"With your cleverness, can't you guess the meaning of 'Wang Shi'?"
"Is it the 'Imperial Heir'?" Chan'er moved her lips, but she didn't make a sound.
"This is one of them."
"And the other two?"
"Hands." Qu Hanyan stretched out his hand and dipped the water in the teacup, then looked at Chan'er and said.
Seeing this, Chan'er spread her right hand in front of Qu Hanyan. After Qu Hanyan wrote two semi-overlapping 'Wang' characters in Chan'er's palm with his tea-soaked fingers, he turned Chan'er's hand sideways and wrote two semi-overlapping 'Wang' characters, so that the four 'Wang' characters were spelled into one 'Qu' character.
"Four kings, Wang Shi. I see. ”
"My little princess, you have too many questions, so let's ask them here today. Slept. ”
"Sleeping here?"
"You sleep on the bed, I sleep on this table. Don't worry, I'm not in the mood to take advantage of you. ”
"Oh, okay." Chan'er thought that Qu Hanyan said the same, so she answered, stood up and walked to the inner room, and lay down on the bed with his clothes, facing sideways in the direction of the outer room.
Qu Hanyan put the teapot and teacup on the table on the ground, and then really curled up and lay on the table with his eyes closed, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, but the expression on his face was unprecedentedly quiet and peaceful. Chan'er looked at Qu Hanyan like this, and suddenly thought of a wolf who was injured and lay alone in the corner licking his wounds, but somehow the two seemed to be very similar in feeling.
"Hurry up and go to sleep." Qu Hanyan coldly jumped out three words.
"Do you have a third eye?" Chan'er was startled and muttered in a low voice.
"My martial arts are not ornaments, and it is difficult to sense what is around me. Hurry up and go to sleep, or you can't sleep if you don't get noisy outside in the middle of the night, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”
Chan'er immediately closed her eyes, she was really sleepy after tossing so late this day, so she quickly fell asleep. Qu Hanyan listened to Chan'er's gradual steady breathing, but suddenly opened his eyes.
In addition, he rescued Chan'er in the Shibuya forest before, Qu Hanyan was drunk, Chan'er took care of him and fell asleep, Qu Hanyan saw Chan'er sleeping for the third time, if he only had calculation and possessiveness for Chan'er before, but now it seems that something has changed.
Qu Hanyan reflected on why he said so many things to Chan'er that he hadn't even said to Qu Yuehuai, Meng Ben and others, and suddenly realized that he had unconsciously regarded Chan'er as a close person, and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, and also fell asleep.
