Chapter 2: A Life Worth a Life
Two hours later, Jin Yan stood on the street where the crowd shuttled, and many people stopped to look at her with strange eyes, as if this woman did not belong to such a lively street market. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
She had forgotten where she had the strength, and after the man in black left, she stood up with her body, stripped off the clothes of the dead man and put them on, and according to her familiarity with the Li Mansion, she escaped through the small door of the secret passage.
Walking to the outskirts behind the wall, a large bloodstain suddenly appeared on the ground, and a black feather. Without thinking about it, she picked it up and staggered down the street.
Xu was hungry in his stomach, so he unconsciously swayed into a restaurant, took out the broken silver stained with blood stains in his clothes, and ordered a few things indiscriminately and devoured them.
The hunger subsided, and Jin Yan felt that his strength was coming back little by little, and the burning sensation in his eyes became more and more intense. She waved her hand, and the shopkeeper hurriedly ran over.
"Bring me a bowl of water."
Xiao Er hurriedly said: "The water tank is in the backyard, I'll help the girl over." ā
Jin Yan frowned, was hesitating, but his body had been lifted up by him, the force was not light or heavy, but he couldn't break free, Jin Yan was shocked, and the voice of the shopkeeper next to him had changed tone.
"Girl, please see my master, let's go with me."
The backyard of the restaurant is connected to a small road, and an inconspicuous gray carriage has already been prepared, and after the two of them get into the car, the curtain is quickly lowered, and the car is moving, running to an unknown distance.
No one spoke all the way, and Jin Yan's eyes couldn't see clearly, but his ears became more sensitive. Although this person is dressed as a shopkeeper, he is obviously well-trained and not an ordinary person, and it is obviously more difficult to escape from here than to escape from the Li Mansion.
Who is going to see him, is it the officers and soldiers who are chasing and killing? It can't be, if that's all there is, it doesn't take so much trouble. Who could it be, a little maid of her own, why would someone ask to see her?
As I thought, the carriage stopped. The shopkeeper half-hugged and half-shelf-shelf, and went all the way into a big mansion.
At this moment, in another room, two men in black stood and sat one at a time.
The man who sat there had a terrible wound on his arm, and the terrible wound was so deep that it almost revealed the bones of the white forest inside. And the man who was standing, his eyes burning, stared at him expressionlessly, there was a lingering ruthlessness on his old face, and the scar on his forehead was impressive.
"Do you see it all? Are they different people? ā
"Yes, long envoy, my subordinates can see clearly, they are two different factions, and they followed when their subordinates entered the Li Mansion, I didn't expect them to be so skilled."
The chief envoy snorted coldly, stroked the sandalwood chair beside him and sat down slowly: "To be able to compete with Hei Yu, the strength behind it must be extraordinary." Have you ever seen any special symbols on them? ā
"I haven't seen it, the four of them are all officers and soldiers, and there is no difference in appearance."
The long envoy put away the anger in his eyes, paused, and turned to stare at him with a smile: "Qingxuan, let go of a woman who saw your face without authorization, and also lost her feather card, how do you explain?" ā
Qing Xuan's sword-like eyes on the superior's envoy, even though his heart was turbulent, there was no cowardice on his face: "Qing Xuan is willing to be punished, but her eyes are injured, and she doesn't see the appearance of her subordinates. ā
"If you don't see it, you will let it go?" The corners of the envoy's mouth were hooked, and the more he smiled, the more weird he looked, "If you want to solve her with one sword, you won't be caught up by those four people, your unauthorized decision by one person almost ruined our entire plan!" ā
The words of the chief envoy were very heavy, and the words hit the ground, Qing Xuan lifted his clothes and got out of bed, knelt on one knee, held the long sword in his hand, bowed his head and replied calmly: "Qing Xuan is at fault, please punish the chief envoy." ā
"Reprimand? Hmph," the envoy waved his hand, with his hands behind his back, "but fortunately, the assassination was successful, and I have brought the woman back, and she has your feather tag on her, and according to the rules, you are now at her command." But as long as it is a person who has seen the black feather, he must die, you go and get the feather card back, and you know what happens next. ā
Qing Xuan's eyes drooped, and he bowed his head and replied, "My subordinates understand." ā

With the help of the maidservant, I have changed out of the wine-smelling clothes on my body, cleaned my eyes, and put on some medicine, and I have become a lot clearer at this moment. The room where she is located is not large, with a carved lacquered pear shelf bed in one corner, and a delicate and delicate begonia-style rosewood bookcase, which is both calm and stylish, which shows that the owner of this house has extraordinary taste.
The door opened lightly, and he subconsciously grasped the pillar behind him, staring nervously at the door, but saw a black figure quickly flash in and close the door.
Qing Xuan looked up, and when he saw the words after freshening up, he was stunned for a moment. On her white jade-like face, a pair of clear eyes that looked forward to Shenfei revealed a trace of horror, and on the bridge of her upturned nose, there was a faint mole that seemed to be dotted with one or two, like a slight flaw on the white wall, but it had a different taste. At this moment, she is wearing a violet straight-necked brocade dress and a vine purple iris skirt, obviously a woman with weak willows and wind, but she always makes people feel that there is a potential temperament faintly flourishing, which is very different from the last time they met.
He thought that this was just an ordinary servant girl, but he didn't know that she had such an outstanding appearance.
"Who?"
Hearing Jin Yan's question, Qing Xuan came back to his senses. In the black feather for many years, he has never been so unresponsive, and if he met an enemy, he would have died a thousand times.
He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "You took my feather badge, didn't you?" ā
Not only Qing Xuan, but also Jinyan was also looking at the person in front of him at this moment. It wasn't until I heard his breezy and moon-like voice that I suddenly remembered that he was my savior, and my face immediately relaxed. At that time, he was walking against the light, and his eyes were injured, and he did not see his appearance clearly, but he was able to see clearly at this moment.
The ink-colored plain brocade robe, the hem is folded to facilitate movement, and it can still be seen that the young man in front of him is tall, his eyebrows are picturesque, and his bright eyes exude the coldness of the moonlight.
I was a little in a trance, but on such a cold face, I could have such a warm smile, and I was nervous for no reason. She took the thing off her waist and held it up in front of Qing Xuan: "Is this what you are talking about?" ā
I saw that in the hands of the white man, a delicate black feather was lying quietly on it, the black feather was like ink, glowing with a faint blue, looking carefully, but it did not look like a real bird feather, but there was some metallic luster, and the feather was wrapped with gold wire, shining with a faint golden light.
Qing Xuan suddenly knelt down on one knee: "Master, Qing Xuan obeys orders." ā
Jin Yan was startled, and shrank back: "What are you doing?!" She squeezed the black feather in her hand, and her eyes flickered, and she suddenly understood: "Is it because of this?" ā
"Exactly, the feather card is the life card of the Black Feather Party, Qingxuan's life is in the hands of the girl, you should follow the girl's instructions."
Jin Yan slowed down and lowered his eyes: "That's the case." She sighed softly, her eyes regained her calmness, and finally handed him the feather tag in her hand, "One life is worth one life, and I will return it to you, and we will not owe each other from now on." ā
