Dong Rong was also grateful to them for resisting the great pressure and insisting on waiting for her to return, and never betrayed, so she sincerely thanked them a few words, causing a few stewards to stand up and salute again, eager to pat their chests to show their loyalty.

Dong Rong looked at them and stopped talking, guessing what they wanted to ask, and couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, but she still said with a smile on her face, "Since I came back safely, the prince must be soon." He'd been injured before, and he's probably recuperating somewhere. ”

Everyone sighed in their hearts, even if they didn't have confidence in the prince's return, they couldn't say it seriously, so they responded vaguely.

Dong Rong made some arrangements for the affairs of the firm according to the discussions with Zhang Yang and Dong Ping on the road, and said at the end, "The Maitreya Sect plotted against the industry of our firm, and this time it failed to extract silver with the seal, and Xu will use other evil means." The shops are not open for the time being, everyone should be more careful, and when we find out the truth about the trouble between me and the prince, and uproot the enemy, it will be the day when our firm will reopen. ”

"Yes, boss, we must restrain our subordinates." Several stewards all got up in unison, and it happened that Yiba brought the little maid and said that the banquet was ready.

Dong Rong smiled and invited a few stewards to eat and drink together, and after three rounds of drinking, she made a tired excuse to avoid it, leaving everyone to let go of the amount of alcohol.

Not to mention how it is here in Anzhou, just to say that outside of Kyoto, in the mountain villa of Maitreya, there were originally people coming and going, but it was rare to calm down in the past two days. On this night, after it was dark, several big men in black shirts, carrying two food boxes and three jars of spirits, smiled and went all the way to the water prison behind the village.

One of them kicked on the tattered wooden table, shaking the three men who were lying on the table and salivaing, suddenly jumped up and looked around, and finally saw that it was a companion joking, and couldn't help but be annoyed, "Feng Laosan, you are looking for death, the sky is blue, what are you scaring people!" ”

"Haha!" The big man named Feng Laosan smiled heartily, put down the wine jar in his hand, and responded, "What, Brother Zhao is in a daze?" It's dark, how can you say it's day? Is it a good thing that I was fighting with Little Peach in my dream and was cut off by my brother's foot? ”

What he said was funny, and several big men behind him also laughed. The man surnamed Zhao didn't know if he had guessed what was on his mind, so he snorted twice in annoyance and didn't refute it. Raised his hand and picked up a wine jar and poured a few sips, and then said, "You guys are too rampant, come and guard, and you are still carrying the wine jar, be careful to be seen by the hall masters, and you will be whipped again!" ”

That Feng Laosan waved his hand indifferently, and easily put out a few appetizers in the food box, and smiled mysteriously while beckoning a few brothers to sit down, "Don't worry, those people above are in a hurry to go to Kyoto, who cares about us little minions." Come, come, go back to sleep too, let's have a drink first! ”

When a few big men who were originally going to go back on duty heard this, they glanced at the two roast chickens on the table again, and a few pig's trotters were fat, and they all stayed with a smile. This one tore open the roast chicken, the other hugged the jar and poured wine, and for a while, the seven or eight big men on duty drank it.

"Third Brother Feng, you just said that the leaders are gone?" One of the big men asked as he ate.

"Yes, they're all gone, from the sect leader to the protector, it seems that there is only one hall master Liu left at home, and the rest are going to Kyoto." Feng Laosan chewed the roast chicken and grinned.

Another big man glanced back at the depths of the water prison and asked in a low voice, "What about that person inside?" The sect leader won't really care, right, that's his own son? ”

Feng Laosan rolled his eyes, shrugged his shoulders indifferently and replied, "Then who knows, Xu is the sect leader's son is too much, not this one." ”

"Nonsense, the sect leader is just this one son! Where did you hear any gossip? ”

"Haha, I haven't heard of it. This is all something that the leaders should worry about, let's just eat and drink well, and watch that man not run. Feng Laosan blurred the conversation and said with a smile, "Let's take two more bets on our brothers in a while?" ”

"Okay, see if I don't win your pants!"

"Haha, brother, you can win the little pink pants."

The big men laughed, I don't know if the liquor was really strong, or they were relieved to learn that the leaders were no longer relaxed, and the three jars of wine were down, and they all fell asleep on the table.

That Feng Laosan lay on the table for a full quarter of an hour, and when he was sure that there was no movement beside him, he slowly raised his head. The light in his eyes flickered, and he was still half drunk. He tentatively patted everyone one by one, and finally quietly walked to the door and whispered three bird calls.

Soon, a tall man dressed in black clothes and pants with a black scarf on his face jumped in. Feng Laosan didn't say much, stretched out his finger and pointed to the water prison and guarded the door vigilantly, for fear that an outsider would suddenly break in and discover his big secret.

The man in black nodded, and quickly walked into the depths of the water prison.

Bai Yi has been immersed in the water prison these days, although he has not lacked food, but the severed hamstrings and the shoulders of the back are inevitably beginning to rot, he quietly leaned on the wooden fence, felt the maggots on his back wriggling, laughed at himself that his time was short, and he did not know whether to regret or regret in his heart.

What he regrets is not that he fought with his father's sword, but that he didn't bury his mother properly beforehand. Now he is trapped here, and his mother has no idea where she is hastily buried. But it's okay, maybe one more night, he can go to accompany his mother. Even if he had crippled his feet, his mother would not dislike him. The only thing he regretted was that he had never killed that man, and he had never revealed his filthy secrets that were enough to be cut by a thousand knives. He couldn't wait to see that man ruined, alas!

I don't know if he was burned and confused, or if he had hallucinations before he died, he suddenly felt as if someone was looking at him coldly. He smiled helplessly, he couldn't think of anyone else who could take the risk to come and see.

However, this feeling has not gone away after a long time. He opened his eyes suddenly, staring at the face in front of him that was half exposed outside the black cloth for a long time, before he asked in a dumb voice, "Who are you?" ”

An inexplicable light flashed in the black-clothed eyes, and he laughed in a low voice, "Me? An avenger between earth and hell! ”

Bai Yi wanted to move, but his body was not angry, he laughed at himself, "Could it be that you are seducing the soul for black and white impermanence?" Then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, I still have unfulfilled wishes, and I won't go with you lightly? ”

"Your heart's desire?" The black-clothed masked man smiled, leaned against the wooden fence, and asked very casually, "Did you kill the Maitreya Sect Master, your father?" ”

Bai Yi's heart jumped, and he subconsciously asked, "How do you know?" ”

"Of course I do, and besides, I have the same desire as you." The man in black squatted down, approached the white man for a long time, and finally said, "However, there is little hope that you will fulfill this wish, because I am afraid that you will not survive tonight." ”

Bai Yi didn't know his physical condition, but for some reason, the more casual the tone of the black man, the more he felt that he still had a chance to live.

"If you can lend a helping hand and promise to fulfill this wish with me, I will give you a great secret."

"Oh, this secret is enough to help us fulfill that wish?"

"Of course, it's enough, and there's even a lot to make!"

"Profit? Haha, I like this. The man in black didn't know what he thought, the smile in his eyes suddenly became warmer, he reached out and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill the size of a fingernail and handed it to the mouth of the white man.

Bai Yi swallowed it without thinking about it, even if it was poison, it didn't matter, but he died a few hours earlier. But he firmly believes that this is a life-saving elixir, because the man in black has the same wish as him.

The pill didn't know what medicinal herbs it contained, and as soon as it entered the belly, it emitted endless heat like a fire coal, and even the unconscious legs seemed to have a trace of warmth. He moaned comfortably in a low voice, "This medicine is too domineering." ”

The man in black smiled and replied in the same low voice, "Of course, this is 'Little Bodhi Dan'!" ”

Bai Yi was so shocked that he suddenly turned his head to look at him and asked, "This is Little Bodhi Dan?" Life and death, flesh and bones? ”

The man in black nodded, "Exactly, I hope that the secret you tell you in a while will make me feel that this divine pill has not been wasted!" ”

Bai Yi stared at him for a long time, and slowly a smile appeared on his face, "You won't regret it." ”

After that, he closed his eyes and felt the power of the medicine to repair his dilapidated body for a while, and when he finally felt that he had regained hope of life, he gently squirmed his lips and said a few words in the ear of the man in black.

The more the man in black listened, his eyes widened, his face turned from white to black, and then to cyan, and finally he laughed angrily, "Okay, it's really good, what are they when I am Daqi, can I rub the edge and knead the round toy at will?" ”

Bai Yi Xu told the secret that had been hidden in his heart for many years, his face was extremely relaxed, and he turned curious, "The tone of your voice is probably not related to the imperial court." Since you've heard such a big secret, don't you tell me your identity? ”

"Of course, I will need to continue to work with you in the future until that wish is fulfilled." The man in black finally calmed down and tore off the cloth towel on his face.

Bai Yi didn't react at first, after all, it was not easy to compare the portraits he had seen that day with the real faces. But when he finally understood, he was so shocked that he almost screamed.

"You, you're not dead?"

"Of course, if I die, who will help you find trouble with your father?"

Bai Yi's expression was very complicated, and he whispered after a while, "It's okay if you don't die, she doesn't have to be too sad." ”

The man in black raised his eyebrows, but his mouth was another matter, "If you have something in the future, you will find Feng Laosan, and he will contact me." ”

"You're leaving?"

"Of course, don't tell me, if you eat a Bodhi Dan, you can kill yourself again. Your dad has just been frustrated, and he is expected to be back tomorrow morning. You have to remember that people are under the eaves and keep your head down. ”R638
