Chapter 823: Temptation
It was not the first time that Bai Qing had left the Valley of the Wicked, she sometimes remembered the days when she left the Valley of the Wicked for the first time, when the valley lord explained something to her, she was surprised in her heart, just because the valley lord of the Wicked Valley had never explained anything to her, but now he suddenly asked her to assassinate someone.
In any case, Bai Qing couldn't believe it, she opened her eyes wide, looked at the indifferent man in front of her, stiffened her body, and was silent for a long time, but she still nodded, after all, in this valley of the wicked, no one dared to brush his meaning.
And Bai Qing naturally didn't think that on the day he left the valley, the valley master would personally accompany him.
The lord of the Wicked Valley is not rumored to be hideous, he is a man with beautiful eyebrows, just looking at the truth, he is even more kind and cute, no one would have thought that it is such a person, among the rivers and lakes, he is frightened, and it is a name that everyone will tremble for when they hear it.
And this person, Bai Qing prefers to call him, A Luo.
At that time, it was the first three years of planting, and the new emperor ascended the throne for only a few years, although it was a prosperous and prosperous era of Wufu Minfeng, but only a few people knew that the person in power was not the emperor who ascended the throne in the year of the weak crown, but the eighth son of the first emperor, the eighth prince.
He is also the only uncle of His Majesty today. And what Ah Luo ordered Bai Qing was to take advantage of that time to take the life of the eighth prince.
"It's all said that Weifu has a private interview, how do you know?"
After Bai Qing asked, he felt that these words were very low on his IQ, after all, Ah Luo was the lord of the Wicked Valley, was there anything else he didn't know? And when Ah Luo saw Bai Qing asking like this, the second master just looked at her playfully and didn't say much. Bai Qing realized once again that she had already committed a stupid crime. With a red face, he didn't dare to ask any other superfluous questions.
But...... The thought of assassinating the dignified prince. Still a boss who is even higher than the emperor's eldest brother, Bai Qing feels that he is Alexander. "One by one...... Do you have to pick it up? "Although she has lived in the valley of the wicked since she was a child. It's just that all the elders in this valley are spoiled like treasures, and it can be said that she has never experienced any bloody storms, let alone such a fearful thing now. It's just that at that time, even though these elders had been opposed, no one dared to disobey the will of the dignified valley lord, and Bai Qing could only bite the bullet and leave the desolate place where he had lived in the poor mountains and bad waters for more than ten years.
Bai Qing had always thought that the Valley of the Wicked was doing a small business, but she never expected that it would be a headless business, and it was at that time that she finally realized that she was still too young.
It's a shame.
"Hmm." Arlo replied without changing his face. One word. But there is no room for rebuttal. Bai Qing looked at him with wide eyes, but froze the moment his eyes touched Ah Luo's eyes. She never seemed to have seen Arlo look like this. The eyes that never had the slightest emotion seemed to be rolling over the turbulent waves at the moment, and Bai Qing always felt that there was something hidden in those eyes. However, he couldn't really see what it was. And they hurried up, rushed all the way, and crossed to Yangzhou.
The next day was the day of the secret report, the eighth prince's private tour. Night. Bai Qing sharpened his knife and was a little nervous. Arlo didn't do anything out of the ordinary, just sullenly drinking a jug of wine to the moon. I can't see my heart on my face, but I am full of thoughts. Lord Valley. Seems very problematic.
"Arlo, it's so boring to drink alone." Bai Qing smiled and leaned over. Unceremoniously handed over his wine glass, smiling like a flower. Arlo gave him a faint look. The wine in the pot divided half of her glass.
"Lord Valley, I've never seen you like this. If there is anything sad. Hide it in your heart, it's going to be suffocated. Bai Qing's elbow poked Ah Luo's chest, and he poured himself a cup with a sullen head. To be honest, her alcohol consumption is not good, but at this time, she seems to have fallen into an evil spirit, smashed her mouth, and felt a fire burning in her heart, but it was very enjoyable.
Arlo looked at his hot face faintly, and the corners of his mouth were hooked for the first time in a long time. He shook his head softly, not making a sound. On the second day, Bai Qing woke up groggily, patted his head, and realized that he had made a big mistake. It's over, it's over!
A moment ago, I was afraid of falling off with my head, but now I obviously feel that my head is too much!
Bai Qing was excited, got up from the bed and rushed outside the house, but he didn't expect that there were firecrackers outside, gongs and drums, and a sea of people. If she remembers correctly, Linchuan does not have the prosperity of the imperial capital, and has his own quietness, even the morning market, which should not be so lively. Thinking so, she scratched her head and stood on the second floor of the inn, very incomprehensible.
However, the noise around me can be heard clearly. It seems that the prince is coming, and the whole city is also restless. Wait a minute...... Rajah?! The hangover and unwoke head instantly cleared, and Bai Qing only felt the cold wind behind him, and his back was numb.
Especially after hearing Arlo's voice.
"He still knew." This he should be the dignified eighth prince. And Arlo's tone, obviously, this question is very tricky. "So you're saying that the Eighth Prince is making such a big deal because he knows that we're going to kill him?" Bai Qing looked at the carriage passing under his nose, the man in white sat upright, the curtain of the carriage covered his face, faintly revealing his figure, and his body was magnificent. And the car was gilded and brilliant.
is so tall, apart from that prince, Bai Qing is indeed difficult to think of a second person. It's just that in this way, their previous plan was burned, everything was overturned, and they really should think about it in the long run. Bai Qing let out a long sigh.
Arlo still didn't say a word.
It was the middle of the night, in the courtyard of the inn, Ah Luo lowered his head and wiped the long sword in his hand, his movements were gentle, not like the usual cold style. In Bai Qing's eyes, it was like sharpening a knife to a pig and sheep. The matter was handed over to Ah Luo, and Bai Qing was naturally relieved.
It's just that he doesn't understand why Ah Luo originally let him go out of the valley, after all, she herself is only a three-legged cat, if she doesn't add to the chaos, it is already Ah Luo's blessing.
"I do things in my own way." Who knew that there was only one sentence left by Arlo for himself.
"It's time." Alo suddenly withdrew his sword, and the white moonlight fell on the bridge of his upright nose. The face was even more cold. The county magistrate of Yangzhou specially held a feast for the arrival of the eighth prince.
Bai Qing had seen this county master when he was wandering on the street. With a big belly, he stood outside the county office and commanded. Frowning.
As soon as Bai Qing saw this expression, he knew that this official was distressed about money. So she stepped forward so lively, and said to the county master, "Master, it is a mountain of gold and silver, and the prince may not be able to see it, the more precious things are, the more money can buy them, don't you say?!" "The county lord was originally sad. As soon as I heard Bai Qing's words, it was like an empowerment.
It doesn't matter what Bai Qing's intentions are when he is so abrupt.
"What do you think about the little girl?" He touched his round belly and looked at Bai Qing's eyes with golden light. Bai Qing blinked, leaning in his ear and only whispering a few words.
"Then, you sold me." It's not an interrogative sentence, so it sounds a little awkward.
Bai Qing nodded with a reluctant smile, stretched out his head and shrunk his head. Knife you paralyzed up hi!
She still thought it was a good idea. So when the county magistrate saw Bai Qing panting and rushing over, he touched the cold sweat on his forehead. "Little girl, I'm really scared ...... death"
"Adults don't want a party!"
Bai Qing obviously smiled and pointed behind him. A man in a dark robe stood with his hands in his hands, and the moonlight outlined the tall figure under the tree, and occasionally the breeze brought up the clothes. I saw that the man's dark pupils were clear.
What a beautiful man! The county magistrate was stunned. By the way, I feel that I am finally saved this time! The dinner began in the unique tranquility of Yangzhou, and the orchestra was hoarse. It is a rare scene here. It's just the flickering candlelight. By the sparkling lotus pond, the man in white just sat tightly, his figure embedded in the dark night where candlelight and moonlight could not be found.
It's just that between his fingers holding the white jade wine glass, the jade wrench fingers are shining. It's really flashy!
Bai Qing was once again obsessed with wealth at that moment. Finally, the moment I saw Arlo, I finally came back to my senses.
For a long time, Ah Luo always likes deep blue-gray clothes, and this is the first time Bai Qing has seen him wearing a dazzling black robe, he looks stunned, and feels that in fact, Ah Luo still looks good in this way.
Just thinking like this, a vague figure suddenly appeared in my mind. As always, he wore a dark shirt and waved at himself in the afterglow. But he couldn't see his face clearly in any way. And when he came back to his senses, Ah Luo had already danced the long sword in his hand among the crowd, and under the moonlight, the plum blossom of the sword hilt burned into Bai Qing's eyes, burning everyone's eyes.
Everyone was stunned. And Bai Qing clearly saw the inseparable gaze of the prince who was high on the stage, as if he was glued to A Luo. Very good, very good, the plan was successful. Bai Qing believes in Ah Luo's ability, as long as he has a close plan, assassination or something, it is naturally a trivial matter. can only be Arlo, such a big thing that loses his head, he can also be nine out of ten. But thanks to his own resourcefulness, after all, this opportunity was also earned by himself.
The more Bai Qing thought about it, the more he felt that he was very resourceful, but he forgot how he was going to get out after that. It was in the flow of Ah Luo's sword blade, the cold light was shocked, Bai Qing's heart trembled, and he finally realized that something was wrong. Things are never as easy as you think.
Or, it's all smooth sailing now, too easy, and too weird. Yangzhou is a small city, she Bai Qing has just arrived, a stranger, naturally very conspicuous. She easily approached the county magistrate, and easily introduced Ah Luo and met the prince. At the same time, there were not many guards in sight of this huge dinner.
It's not that she's clever, it's that someone is catching turtles in an urn! Bai Qing's heart suddenly rose to his throat. Death, death! She just thought about exclaiming, but the long sword in Ah Luo's hand had already pierced the sky, and it had already stabbed at the man in white sitting on the stage, and the blood slowly spread. There was an alarm, but Bai Qing stayed where he was.
So until the panicked county lord led the guards to surround this place, Bai Qing still did not slow down. Just because she saw that Arlo, who had always been calm, was holding the sword in his right hand at this time. But he trembled incessantly.
That was the first time Bai Qing saw Ah Luo so frightened, it was very different from the arrogant posture on weekdays, Bai Qing was stunned in place, half scared, half doubtful, she realized that she never seemed to know what this valley lord was thinking in his heart, but although it was thrilling at that time, it was also considered to be dangerous. In the end, Arlo escaped and took himself back to the Valley of the Wicked.
As for whether the mission was successful. Ah Luo didn't say a word, Bai Qing only vaguely remembered. Since Ah Luo returned to the Valley of the Wicked, his face has not been very good, and the lord of the Valley of the Wicked, who was already living in a simple place, has not seen the Valley of the Wicked for a long time, let alone if he has left again.
And when he saw Ah Luo again, he looked like he was as usual, as if what happened before was just a dream that Bai Qing had himself, but was it really just a dream? Bai Qing smiled bitterly. At this time, she was in a dark and closed strange environment, and instead of worrying about her safety, she remembered many things from the past, but she was not afraid at all, she thought that she was a person from the Valley of the Wicked after all, and if she was an ordinary person, she would naturally not touch herself. What's more, although she has no ability, she still has the ability to protect herself, and she has never hurt herself.
It's just that...... She didn't know what happened to Mu Ran and Su Yu, and she thought that they were not ordinary people. Naturally, there will be no worries about life, but will they find themselves gone?!
As soon as he thought of this, Bai Qing frowned and looked at the faint moonlight beside the bed. sighed, thinking that their own oil bottle had disappeared like this, and it was too late for them to be happy. Thinking of this, Bai Qing smiled bitterly again. I don't know what I'm thinking again, but my expression suddenly became more solemn than ever. She leaned into her body, and sure enough, the piece of white jade had already disappeared at this time, too bad! Bai Qing was so angry that she stomped her feet, but this place was so closed, she definitely couldn't go out, how could this be good......
And at this moment, Bai Qing naturally didn't know that just when she was extremely anxious, Mu Ran and Su Yu had already arrived at the entrance of the Valley of the Wicked.
Mu Ran once came to the Valley of the Wicked, experienced the frost of Kunlun, the extremely cold place was unbearable, but to the Valley of the Wicked, but it was a different scene, everywhere in the eyes was a barren dusk, if it was not an extremely poor and bitter cold place, it was absolutely impossible to have such a situation, Mu Ran stood at the end of the Sansheng Road, only to see the Sansheng Stone in front of him was a few words of golden light, under the scorching sun, it was simply burning people's eyes, Mu Ran quietly fell his gaze on these words.
Once you enter this valley, you will never suffer.
Oh, sure enough, someone has to make a pie.
Su Yu frowned slightly, he didn't think of the familiar figure that no one had ever seen through, the young man who hid a knife in his smile, A Luo. Naturally, he will not forget how this person gained their trust step by step, and how he betrayed them again and again, if it weren't for Ah Luo, he and Mu Ran would not have gone around in circles, falling into hardships again and again, and even almost lost their lives several times.
Now, I am about to meet this old man again, but except for Su Yu, Mu Ran has no intention of being happy.
It's not that she hasn't heard of Ah Luo's name, but she has also heard that the people in the entire Valley of the Wicked have no good people, but I'm afraid that when they enter the valley at this time, they will already die and die, and there will be many bad lucks.
"Huh." Just when Mu Ran and Su Yu were still staying at the entrance of the Valley of the Wicked, with a very old laugh, a slender figure slowly walked out from the side of Sansheng Road, full of silver threads, that person was already very old, and when he got closer, Mu Ran clearly saw that the person's face was full of wrinkles, but his spirit was still very strong, especially the pair of bright eyes that did not match his age at all, as if he was a young man.
Thinking about it, it is also a frightening person Xiao Yao in the rumors.
Mu Ran's face was still indifferent, and before he could speak, he heard the old man say with a smile in a dumb voice, "The valley master knows that Miss Chu and Su Gongzi have recently entered the valley, and specially ordered the old man to wait for the two of them here, and the two of them will follow the old man ......" He coughed a few more times, and it seemed that the whole person was getting older and older.
Mu Ran frowned, Ah Luo knew that they were going to the Valley of the Wicked these days, and the days were so accurate? After all, they kept a low profile all the way to this trip, and it seemed that they ...... Mu Ran thought of Bai Qing again, it seemed that Bai Qing really came out of the Valley of the Wicked, but he didn't know what this Bai Qing had to do with the Valley of the Wicked.
Thinking so, she glanced at Su Yu, it seemed that Su Yu's thoughts coincided with Mu Ran, and the two made eye contact for a moment, and they didn't say anything, just followed Xiao Yao slowly into the valley.
With a sharp sound in the sky, something flew overhead, and the surroundings were full of desolation, which was simply terrifying, but Mu Ran and Su Yu were calm until they saw A Luo. A Luo was sitting cross-legged on a soft couch, with three cups of tea in front of him, seeing Mu Ran coming, he blinked his eyes, he looked excited, and when he grinned, he showed a mouthful of big white teeth, "Mu Ran, Su Yu, you are here." ”
His attitude is very intimate, if he is not a person who knows the past between them, I am afraid that everyone will think that these three people are friends with a good relationship, naturally, Mu Ran has never thought so in her heart, she just smiled coldly, but still sat in front of Ah Luo.
"Drink tea, drink tea." Ah Luo was very attentive to send the tea to Mu Ran and Su Yu, the tone was still very intimate, Su Yu still smiled lightly, picked up the tea and did it first as a respect, and Ah Luo raised his eyebrows slightly at this time, looked at Su Yu with deep meaning, and looked at Mu Ran and Su Yu quietly drinking tea, Ah Luo clapped his hands at this time, and said in a very brisk tone, "You are really not afraid of me doing things in this tea." ”
"The whole Valley of the Wicked is your territory, Arlo, if you want us to die, why do you want to do such a shady way." Su Yu said without changing his face, Ah Luo listened to Su Yu say this, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper, he also picked up the tea and drank it dry, then wiped the corners of his mouth, and said happily, "You are in such a hurry to come to the Valley of the Wicked, presumably, it shouldn't be to renew the old relationship with me, right?!" Somehow, when he said this, the corners of his mouth always showed a faint sense of irony, and Mu Ran and Su Yu both trembled in their hearts, his expression was too familiar, and when Ah Luo betrayed them, he also looked the same.
Now seeing Ah Luo, the past is vivid, but Mu Ran is like water, she doesn't look at Ah Luo, but she just spreads out her palm, and sure enough, that crystal clear white jade appears in Mu Ran's hand at this time, such a luster, I really know that there is a sky, it is Ah Luo, and her face has changed slightly.
"Huh? What does that mean? Arlo raised his eyebrows, and the appearance of the knife hidden in the smile slowly spread again, and he didn't know what he was planning in mind at this time.
Mu Ran didn't plan to say anything, just opened the door directly to see San, "Ah Luo, you should know, this is my brother Chu He's thing, I heard Bai Qing say that the last time he appeared was in this Valley of the Wicked." Although Bai Qing never said that this matter had anything to do with the Valley of the Wicked, Mu Ran still clearly understood that this matter must have nothing to do with Ah Luo, and she was absolutely sure that Bai Qing must know Ah Luo.
Ah Luo really listened to what Mu Ran said, he was slightly cold, but he quickly recovered his complexion and entered the warehouse, he smiled shallowly, and his soft gaze fell on Mu Ran's body, but when he met Mu Ran's cold look, he still coughed lightly a few times in embarrassment, "Speaking of Bai Qing, why didn't she come back with you?" ”
It stands to reason that Bai Qing should also appear in the Valley of the Wicked at this time, but there are only two people, Mu Ran and Su Yu.
Sure enough, as soon as Ah Luo's words came out, Mu Ran's face changed slightly, she wrung her eyebrows and looked at Ah Luo, half suspicious and half tentative, "What kind of joke are you talking about, didn't you kidnap Bai Qing halfway?" "If it weren't for Ah Luo, who else would have tied up Bai Qing so thanklessly, all this, wouldn't it be the masterpiece of the person who postponed it?! Mu Ran looked at Ah Luo in disbelief who was still smiling calmly in front of him.
He spread his hands, looking very helpless, "I didn't do anything, it's just that in this Valley of the Wicked, there are a lot of boring people, maybe these people made a joke with Bai Qing!" He didn't understand why Mu Ran was so angry.
Naturally, he wouldn't know, if ordinary people disappeared at this time, it would be fine, but Bai Qing was different, she was the last person to see Chu He, and she had to explore clues from Bai Qing's mouth, and now that Bai Qing has disappeared, where did she find people herself? ! (To be continued......)
