18. The Assassin and the Little Boy (4)

After nightfall, the housekeeper habitually came to Yang Yu's courtyard to take a look. The second young master has a cold temperament and is quiet, not only does he not have a personal servant around him, but he also has no small servants, so he has to work hard and take care of himself more every day.

It's almost the New Year, every household prepares New Year's gifts, and there are also those who have finally come back from business in other places, bringing back a large amount of money to save, and the business of the money village suddenly does not know how many times it has been busy, and the account books from all over the country are constantly sent, although they are checked and deleted by the following people, but even so it is piled up. Qian Zhuang is not good at this, it is very idle in the off-season, and it is not a life that people can live when they are busy. The old man handed over all the business to the second young master, but all the money he earned was given to the idle young master who threw a lot of money without knowing how to restrain himself, but the second young master couldn't say anything, he could only work hard.

"Second young master, after reading the accounts for a day, it's time to take a break."

"What time is it?" Yang Yu put down the account book in his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead. He wasn't too tired, he had never had this hectic and compact life before, he had no leisure, and he seemed to forget something carved into his bones occasionally; Occasionally, in a trance, those dark pasts are just illusions of memory.

It was the first time he had some gratitude for the system.

"Back to the young master, it's three o'clock in the morning."

Yang Yu was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a small guard outside the door sneak over and report: "Second Young Master, the eldest young master just sent someone over, saying that the second young master has worked hard for so long, and specially prepared a banquet for the second young master to relax." โ€

"So late?" The housekeeper was stunned, and then looked at Yang Yu cautiously, observing his face, but unfortunately the second young master's face was expressionless, and the lights were dim, so he couldn't see anything, "This ...... Second young master? โ€

Yang Yu lowered his eyes, pinched the brush and rotated it very lightly in his hand, this action had an indescribable elegance in the eyes of the housekeeper. He is used to turning things in his hands, which he uses to keep his fingers flexible, turning when he thinks about things and turning when he doesn't want to do things. Habits have been ingrained, just like the past, engraved in the bone marrow, and cannot be changed or forgotten.

The people inside and outside the house waited for a moment before Yang Yu spoke: "You go and tell the people of the eldest young master, saying that I will arrive later...... Where did he set up a banquet? โ€

"Back to Ershao, he said that he was in the jade building on Xunchun Street by the Qinjiang River."

The Jade House has three floors, and there is a separate courtyard behind it, which is where the young people live. It is usually the prince of Wang Gongzi who comes here, looking for the wind and attaching elegance, so the building is quiet and abnormal, only occasionally from time to time from which courtyard floats out a few silk strings, compared with the other Qinglou Nanfeng Pavilion on the same street, it seems that the courtyard is deserted.

On this day, it was Yoshihira's turn to watch the door, and the cold wind was blowing outside the door, so he shivered a few times and simply hid in the house, leaving only a crack in the door. Anyway, it's so late now, the guests who should have come have come early, and the ones who shouldn't have come won't come. The small abacus rattled loudly, who knew that people were not as good as heaven, and not long after shrinking into the house, the door was suddenly knocked.

"Who?" Ji Ping poked his head out and saw a young man standing outside the house, with deep facial features, dim and unclear under the dim light, Ji Ping suddenly screamed in his heart, and suddenly felt that this son was a little familiar. But I can't remember when I've seen it.

Childe smiled at him, but there was no smile in his eyes, which made people's hearts chill: "I'm looking for Gu Caisheng." โ€

Seeing him laugh, Ji Ping was excited, and suddenly remembered that this son had been here once, obviously it was just a face, but he remembered that scene very clearly, when this son opened his mouth to find someone, who was he looking for at that time? That's right-

Led the young man inside, around the back door, Ji Ping held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak: "This, this master, you are really clever, I came to find Forget Xiao Gongzi before, and after a while, Forget Xiao Gongzi really came to our ......building" I wanted to please him, but the rest of the words were swallowed back in the eyes of the other party who glanced at him faintly.

I thought I had touched some taboo, but after walking a few more, a faint voice suddenly came from the side: "Forget Xiao Gongzi...... Is he okay now? โ€

Ji Ping thought about it, picked a good one and said: "Forget Xiao Gongzi is a double master, as soon as he comes, he compares Hanling Gongzi to the bottom, and is praised as the top brand, even if he sells his art or not himself, he is full, and even the steward does not dare to offend him." โ€

He thought slowly: where is the use of the full seats...... Thinking about it, that fine and dense sting resurfaced, like an addiction, always appearing at an inopportune time. He didn't know what that feeling meant, but he vaguely realized that he seemed to be different. In the past, he was rarely happy, angry, never sad, never happy, more like a Buddha than a Buddha, more like a dead man than a dead man, only a heart that tirelessly beat to remind him that he is alive.

Suddenly I was shocked to realize that after meeting Su Yi, in a short period of time, there were many ups and downs...... Not at all like a killer!

His heart contracted suddenly, as if he had been hit on the head with a stick, and his whole body was cold.

I suddenly remembered what Master had said: A killer can't have a heart, and the heart is the killer's greatest weakness. No heart means no feelings, no friends, no relatives, no lovers. No weakness, no invincibility.

If you make a mistake once, you lose your life, what happens if you still make mistakes one after another?

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Master, it's here. โ€

The turtle slave's flattering voice pulled him back to reality, Yang Yu's eyes were heavy, he was calm, and pushed open the double-sided carved wooden door in front of him.

The people in the house were originally drinking and making noise, and when they came in unexpectedly, they all stopped their movements and subconsciously looked over. Yang Yu's eyes swept the audience lightly, and saw that the wooden floor was covered with soft cushions, Gu Caisheng was sitting on the top, holding a delicate and weak young man in his arms, and below him was Su Yi, and there were others, all of whom were wine and meat friends who often played with Gu Caisheng.

When Su Yi saw him, a look of surprise flashed in his dark eyes, and then he smiled slowly. He was thinly dressed, and the dynasty attached great importance to the hierarchy, and the law decreed that โ–กโ–ก Xiao Qi was not allowed to wear silk brocade, so the clothes on his body were the fragrant bamboo yarn used in the Qinglou, and the outside was covered with a cyan cloth shirt, which made the whole person stand upright. In addition, he has been in the middle of the banquet but has been looking cold, as if he has escaped from the hustle and bustle, which makes people dare not be embarrassed. However, this smile was like a plum breaking through the winter snow and flowers blooming in spring, and the Gu family was amazed, and then he was jealous.

Yang Yu sat down on Gu Caisheng's left hand side, and happened to be face to face with Su Yi. He has a cold temperament, drinking slowly alone, Gu Caisheng looked at him, and the hatred and contempt in his heart were born again - obviously he was just a righteous son adopted by his father, but the frame was always bigger than his own biological end, and his father also praised this person in front of him three times and twice, how to teach people not to be disgusted. Thinking of the scene of Yang Yu saving Su Yi that day, he sneered, and suddenly said: "Forget Xiao Gongzi's piano skills are unique, he was famous in Kyoto in his early years, Gu has admired him for many years, I didn't expect that today I am close to each other, it is rare for everyone to get together today, why don't you ask Forget Xiaogong to play the piano to help the fun?" โ€

Su Yi said lukewarmly: "What Young Master Gu wants, there is no reason. After speaking, he got up to get the piano, who knew that just after going around Gu Caisheng, Gu Caisheng actually grabbed his hand with his backhand, pulled him hard, and pulled him into his arms.

Yang Yu's hand shook, his arm injury that had not healed was painful, his fingers were weak, and the wine glass almost fell off.

Su Yi wanted to take away the hand around his waist, but his strength couldn't compare to Gu Caisheng, so he had to do it, and said calmly: "Is Young Master Gu here to listen to the song or to make trouble today?" If you listen to the music, you will be entertained by a good student, and if you are making trouble, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you. โ€

Gu Caisheng was aroused by his attitude, and suddenly became angry, sneered, forced his face, and said word by word: "Young Master Su, oh no, Forget Xiao Gongzi, do you think you are still a high-ranking Shangshu Gongzi?" Now it's just a thing for thousands of people to ride and sleep on! It is your honor to pamper you, and if you are happy to serve you, you may be able to reward you with a little pocket money. โ€

Yang Yu watched silently from the side, and saw that Su Yi's face became whiter and whiter with Gu Caisheng's words, but those glass-like eyes were burning and shining, and the unyielding resentment and arrogance in them were like a sharp sword, piercing the human body that he was looking directly at.

I was ready to watch from the sidelines to the end, but at this moment, I actually remembered the scene of the first time I saw Su Yi - the moonlight in the dark alley was faint, and the young man's miserable white face and stubborn and stubborn eyes were intertwined into a vivid and thick picture, which caused him to lose his mind in an instant, and also caused the trajectory of fate to be turned upside down from then on, and it was uncontrollable until now.

"Bell!"

When Yang Yu came back to his senses, he didn't know when he had already thrown the wine glass, which happened to hit Gu Caisheng's forehead, knocking him dizzy, Yang Yu took this opportunity to pull Su Yi to his side, and while standing up, he drew the hidden dagger from the wall of his boots very neatly, and the cold light pierced everyone present when he turned his fingers, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Young Master Gu came back to his senses first, thinking that Yang Yu was going to eat at home, he had a little bit of dependence, and shouted angrily: "Yang Yu! How daring! I don't want to think about who took you in and gave you a bite to eat all these years! โ€

"Young Master, are you making a mistake?" Yang Yu suddenly hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a solemn smile, his eyes were lonely and indifferent, and the murderous aura that had been soaked in blood and darkness for many years appeared, "If it weren't for me, do you think Gu Jinbao would have survived until now?" Do you think that your Gu family's business can reach this point with you, the eldest young master? Do you think I care how much about the identity of the second young man of the Gu family?! If it weren't for the side quests, he wouldn't have had a hard time even taking care of his family.

"You...... Yang Yu! If you dare to take him out of here, I will report to my father that he will kick you out of the house!" โ€

Yang Yu said coldly: "Feel free! โ€

Yang Yu took Su Yi two steps forward, and Gu Caisheng suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, good Yang Yu, I know that you are a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, don't blame the big brother for letting you come and go today!" โ€

Before he finished speaking, the four windows of the room were broken at the same time, and four black-clothed people jumped in and surrounded Yang Yu and Su Yi, the group of unclear gentlemen had already been scared and trembled, Gu Caisheng stood in place, his face was scolded, his eyes flowed with crazy hatred, and he smiled fiercely: "Second brother, go all the way!" โ€

Yang Yu stood there expressionlessly, indifferent and calm, but only he knew that his arm was seriously injured, and he had quietly tried his best to throw the wine glass, and now he was reluctant to even hold the dagger. If Gu Caisheng had the guts, he didn't need these killers, as long as he came over by himself, he could easily take his dagger and kill himself.

Do you really want to die here today?

Suddenly, at this moment, his wrist was gently pinched by a hand, and his heart moved, and he heard Su Yi ask himself in a low voice that was almost a whisper: "Brother Yang, can you have a way for us to rush to the landscape painting hanging in the southwest corner?" โ€
