The fourth floor is empty. Either up or down, it was empty like a store on the verge of closure. The stage board also hurriedly packed up his things, grabbed the valuables one by one, and fled with a roll. The dishes were not ready, and they were spilled on the ground.

Seeing that the people who came kowtowed and were sincerely afraid, Zhao Tong took a sip of tea.

His hands were thin and dry, his fingers long and strong, and his wrists slid out of the wide sleeves in a strong, well-defined joint.

It's said to be strong, but in fact, it can't be seen.

It's just that these hands just cut off a nose.

Lin Long was so shocked that he didn't dare to come out. She had seen the mutilated limbs and torsos, and she thought she wouldn't be too timid. However, at this time, unlike in the past, what she saw was not the "result", but a living, blood-drenched "process".

She went to see the dog sniff. He wailed in pain, rolled on the ground, and was extremely conscious.

But there is still salvation. To be exact, just cut off his nose without injuring anything else, then he could not die at all, and even the normal function of his nose was not impaired. If you don't think about aesthetics, it seems to be okay. It will take about half a month of cultivation, Lin Long thought.

But if it's a beauty, it's too miserable.

So what happened just now was nothing more than a "deterrent", a "deterrent" against their reckless atrocities.

Lin Long felt that the King Shen in front of him didn't seem to be simple.

His head was covered with blood, and the screams of the dog sniffed pierced his eardrums, disturbing him and deepening his fear.

He was a little dizzy, his mind was agitated, and he reluctantly raised his eyes to see if Zhao Yan had forgotten to excuse himself, so that he could not continue this action.

However, as soon as he raised his head, he heard King Shen's cold voice: "Did you stop?"

He was so frightened that he lowered his head, as if knocking a stubborn hard-boiled egg on the table, knocking his bloody eyes, and seeing it was an ambiguous red: "His Royal Highness King Shen, you are a little ignorant, don't dare next time!"

Zhao Yan said leisurely: "Next time, what's the use of next time? My mood today has been completely ruined, how do you compensate me for the sadness just now?"

I couldn't speak, just kowtowed.

Zhao Yan narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Tao at the door—she was lying there motionless, occasionally twitching her muscles.

He stood up and walked there, Lin Long subconsciously stepped aside, Zhao Yan passed by her side, and asked emotionlessly: "Are you 'afraid'?"

The voice was not loud, but the words were clear, grinding into his ears, the word "afraid" seemed to be something he couldn't understand, so there was no trace of emotion when he said this, Lin Long was trembling almost the entire heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, she suspected that the vicious eyes just now were not hallucinations.

"Nope. She whispered.

Zhao Yan said quietly: "You are lying. ”

He cannot judge whether he is afraid or not, and he will know when he hears whether he lies or not.

Zhao Tong passed by the side of the dog, shook his teeth and kowtowed, he looked straight ahead, and said coldly: "Get up";

He walked up to Xiao Tao, glanced at it, and sighed, "It's hopeless......"

Lin Long said: "Wait a minute. She walked over and squatted down, pinched Xiao Tao's chin, looked at her mouth, frowned, and said, "It's not that the tongue was completely pulled out, and some were left." Is there salvation, is there ice? Snow can too. ”

She asked this, but no one answered.

Zhao Yan looked at her with interest and said, "Do you hear?" This girl said that she wants ice and snow, go and get some for her." ”

Lin Long said: "The nose can also be used to stop bleeding. ”

The dog sniffed so badly, but he couldn't, he walked to the window in pain, turned over and went out, only to hear the sound of branches, he took out a handful of snow and returned to the building, and walked towards Lin Long.

Lin Long took the handful of bloodstained pale pink snow and stuffed it into Xiao Tao's mouth.

Lin Long's hands were soft and white, like undyed silk. When the bleeding stopped, her hands were also stained with pale red blood.

Little Peach's face was unusually pale, so white that it was pale cyan.

"It's just that," Lin Long said, "it is difficult for the blood of the dead to be born suddenly, and the qi of the dead should be strengthened urgently, and whether I can survive or not is none of my business." ”

Out of professionalism, at such a moment, she helped Xiao Tao stop the bleeding, perhaps because of nervousness.

After completing a series of movements, she seemed to be on the ground, and the calm when she was focused faded little by little, and she fell back into terror. She stiffened and couldn't move.

Because of the fluttering and dog sniffing, he approached her again.

A posture that won't give up if she doesn't catch her.

Zhao Yan asked casually: "What's the matter?"

He smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness King Shen, I'm really sorry to disturb you." It's just that this girl is very important to us, and without her, we might not have been able to accomplish what the Holy Maiden told us. ”

When he laughed and spoke, his eyes didn't leave Lin Long an inch.

Zhao Yan smiled noncommittally: "The matter of the Holy Maiden, the Holy Maiden has a very high vision, how can she be interested in a little girl from an ordinary family?"

"Your Royal Highness King Shen, do you know something...... You're right. Sensing King Shen's suddenly cold eyes, he hurriedly changed his words, "Lord Holy Maiden is asking us to go to General Wang Liefeng." We didn't find General Wang, but we found this little girl, she must have some connection with General Wang......"

Lin Long lowered his head and said, "You think too much." ”

The dog sniffed and said that she had the smell of General Wang, so she must have had some contact. You say yes, dognose, hey!"

The dog sniff was beaten, came back to his senses, and hurriedly endured the pain: "Your Highness, that's right, that's right." My nose doesn't lie. ”

"What are you doing with your nose covered?" Zhao Yan smiled, "Are you holding a grudge against me?"

"Don't dare. The little ones love it...... His Royal Highness King Shen's secret weapon made him wonderful...... "Dog sniff endured the humiliation, put down his hand, and saw that the flesh and blood on his face were blurred, and there were only two nostrils left at the original nose, which was gloomy and hollow like the eyes of a dying dog."

Zhao Yan smiled: "Your praise, whether it is true or not, I will accept it." It's just that you said that when you smell the smell, you will judge who it is related to, and I have a slight objection. If you say so, your nose still smells of me. ”

"This ......," the dog sniffed for a moment, thought for a moment, "then no, it's not you, it's your cup lid...... No, it's a little self who is cheap, I have to hope that your cup lid is closed, no, no......"

Zhao Tong said: "It's your dirty face that wants to rub the lid of my cup." I don't want to touch you shit. He looked out the window and said with a smile, "I only like beautiful things, tea, wine, carvings, and beautiful women." And I'm dirty when someone else has used it. If the only dirty thing he likes," he smiled, "it's the chair my brother sat in." He asked, "So, does this king have anything to do with you?"

Dog Sniff was about to argue, but he quickly snatched his words, pulled his sleeve and said, "No! No! His Royal Highness King Shen, I have offended a lot today, and I apologize to you here." Dognose, let's go wow, what are you doing here, why don't you go......"

The dog sniff seems to be bent on a fight with Zhao Li. He suffered a big loss, and he was disfigured, and he was full of hatred that could not be eliminated immediately. He stood still, unable to move, and reached for the saber at his waist. Seeing that something was wrong, cold sweat covered his forehead, and he secretly pulled him again, and whispered, "What are you doing? Do you know who this is? This is Lord Shin, and what King Shin said is right. Don't wait for him to get angry, we won't get out of here alive!"

Zhao Yan suddenly smiled fiercely.

Lin Long noticed it, turned her head to look, and was so frightened that she almost fainted: this smile was the terrifying expression she had seen before, even if such a handsome face like a god was made, it made people feel like falling into a cold ice hell.

Last time it was the afterglow, this time it was the side face.

This is a fortunate thing, Lin Long saw the two of them who were forced to look at him head-on, especially Shuo, the two trembled, the upper and lower rows of teeth couldn't control the fight, and when he spoke, he was about to be unable to break the sentence: "His Royal Highness King Shen, this, this, this has nothing to do with the small one." The little one had tried his best to persuade him, but—"

Zhao Yan smiled and looked at the dog sniff, but there was a cold light in his eyes: "I said, give me this little girl." The Holy Maiden is a reasonable person, after all, I asked for the Jurchen before, and she gave it to me. It's just unfortunate that I let him go, all because of that Wang Liefeng. Ha...... You don't seem to like me. ”

The dog's eyes burned red, it seemed that Zhao Yan's gaze not only did not frighten him, but inspired his infinite anger, he clenched his hands into fists, couldn't help trembling, suddenly let out a long roar, pulled out his knife in anger, took a table next to him as a support point, jumped into the air, turned around, and slashed at Lin Long's head!

This sudden change in the situation caught those present off guard.

Lin Long was squatting on the ground, suddenly felt a very painful back, coughed for a while, and turned back in panic, only a brilliant knife light, stabbing his eyes painfully.

She closed her eyes, and heard only three screams, swept over her head with the wind, as fast as light, like the fastest bird, and at the same time, when the cold light had receded, she opened her eyes and saw the knife tumbling down into the distance, the hilt broken into four neat knots.

The three chopsticks trembled and buzzed into the ground.

Zhao Tong suddenly burst out laughing. After laughing for a while, he stopped, looked not far away, and said, "Alas, look, what's going on? Why do you want to make a big fuss, didn't the people you really want to arrest come to the door yourself?"

He walked over and said with a smile, "Long time no see, General Wang." I haven't seen you for a few days, and I've lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, fortunately. Would you like to have a drink together?"

Wang Liefeng walked briskly from the entrance of the building and stopped in front of Lin Long. He took off his previous armor and changed into plain clothes, and the whole person looked chic and graceful at a glance, but his eyes were as sharp as knives.

He squatted down and asked Lin Long in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Lin Long shook his head and nodded again.

Wang Liefeng got up, walked to the place where the chopsticks flew, leaned over and pinched the end of the chopsticks, pulled them up from the floor with a pop, walked two steps, put them on a table casually, and said to Zhao Yan: "I didn't expect you to even start with innocent people." ”

Zhao Yan smiled again: "First of all, I want to state that these two people have nothing to do with me, but they have the same purpose as me, they are both coming to you, and they inadvertently make you mistakenly think that they are the same party." If you have to think I did it, then I can't help it. After all, you hate me so much right now. Secondly, until just now, I had always thought she was innocent. But now I know that a girl who can make General Wang use the heirloom bow technique must not be simple. ”

Wang Liefeng said coldly: "It's just a gesture." Nothing to do with this girl, let her go. Hand over my sister. ”

Zhao Yan smiled innocently: "What sister? Which sister?"

Wang Liefeng said angrily: "You-"

"—You look so cute when you're angry, General Wang. I want to take a second look, can I take a good look?" Zhao Yan said, stepping forward to grab his shoulder. Wang Liefeng took a step back, but Zhao Yan couldn't touch it.

"General Wang, what's going on?'s shy?" Zhao Tong laughed, suddenly smiled, and grabbed Lin Long's sleeve, Lin Long didn't react, gasped, and was dragged up from the ground by Zhao Li. She was about to break free, but Zhao Yan's hand moved down, stopped at her elbow, and slowly tightened.

Lin Long was alert and begged in a low voice: "Don't ......"

Suddenly, a sharp tingling sensation with swelling came from between the bones, and Lin Long let out a faint scream like a bird. She was so numb that she lost the strength to scream. When she was still suffering from this sour numbness and hung her head to gasp, Zhao Yan suddenly exerted her strength and pinched it hard, only to hear a rattle - Lin Long's cry burst out at the same moment.

Wang Liefeng couldn't stand it, and said, "Stop." ”

Zhao Yan really let go of his hand directly. Lin Long fell to his knees, clasping his arms in fear, his lips pale, and he didn't say a word. Zhao Yan looked at her and smiled: "You're finally scared." ”

Wang Liefeng gritted his teeth and said, "His Royal Highness King Shen, what are you doing? If you are not happy, you will come to me, you have to let this girl suffer." ”

Zhao Yan said: "But in this way, it will not only eliminate my anger, but also will not destroy the relationship between you and me." One more punch to you, and I'll have to repent for a quarter of an hour more. I don't like to owe people anything, it upsets the 'balance'. As he spoke, he slowly paced back to his seat, picked up the cup, and poured the cold tea to the side, his thin and strong wrist movements gracefully.

Wang Liefeng said: "His Royal Highness King Shen is very interested. In the winter, I wore spring and autumn clothes, and it seemed that I was warm as spring all year round. ”

"I have a coal stove in my house, and even in the third and ninth months, I can walk around the yard in single clothes. There is also a small red clay stove in the sedan chair, and it is even more so when you arrive at Fengle Building. What is really cold is just the moment you get off the bus. But it was only for a moment, and I don't want to please this whole winter for this moment? Isn't it, General Wang, is it warm in the prison? I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that you'll freeze. ”

Wang Liefeng snorted and said, "It's very warm." A day trip to the prison is really surprising and delightful. From the moment I entered, I was worried about how to repay such a great favor. ”

Zhao Yan smiled and said: "Look, what are these words, General Wang seems to be very angry, it's really strange." But didn't this come out well? I knew that General Wang would be fine. It's a pity ......"

He sighed.

Wang Liefeng said, "What are you sighing for?"

"I think it's a pity. ”

"It's a pity?"

Zhao Tong said quietly: "Yes." I gave you a gift, but you turned a blind eye. Such a valuable gift, but I saw that it was about to be snatched away by my lovely brother, and I felt distressed just thinking about it. ”

Wang Liefeng was puzzled when he heard a noisy voice downstairs.

"Ye Da catches the head, thank you. This side please. ”

"We received a report from someone who said that someone had been injured here. Where? What floor?" followed by rumbling footsteps.

There were a lot of people coming, nearly ten people, and listening to the sound was the fast catcher in the yamen. Fengle Lou rarely has accidents, once there is an accident, there is a possibility of a big event, and the government has close contacts, so the government has paid a little attention to this, from usually only sending two or three people to investigate, to this time sending ten people in one breath, it can be seen that they very much want to make (possible) big things small.

Ye Langxing yawned, sleepy-eyed and let a few juniors lead the way, and he called it a beautiful name for them.

He has just turned 20 years old, and he is already a well-known catcher in Bianjing City, and has handled several earth-shattering cases. His figure is thin and tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, long and straight legs, and his appearance is between a teenager and an adult, with a slight gentleness and childishness in the toughness. His eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, born with two straight thick eyebrows, narrow and heroic eyes, slightly double, long and droopy eyelashes, this pair of eyes sweeped, compared to the selfless scrutiny of the iron face, it can be called a look forward to the romance. The lines of his eyebrows and nose bones are extremely smooth and three-dimensional, making his eyebrows and eyes deep and handsome, and his jaw is slightly angular, adding a sense of perseverance.

Ye Langxing had just finished a case last night, and not long after he fell asleep, he was called up to investigate the sudden dispute in Fengle Building. He felt that his life in his early twenties had been squeezed dry to the point of forty, and that he did not have much money. However, the master, who raised him as a child, said that the job was relatively stable and respectable. He decided to say to him the next time he visited Master, you are too good at deceiving people, Master, he was so tired that he was half dead, not to mention, every month's income was not enough to stuff his teeth, and most importantly, this stability had to be built on the basis of immortality, and he was almost on the verge of life and death every time he handled cases.

Thinking of this, Ye Langxing suddenly became happy: Fighting is a trivial matter, easy and happy, it is good to educate it, if it is a quarrel between nobles, it can be settled by their own money, and they can make a small profit if they don't do it.

He was sleepy after two steps, depressed, and drowsy and dim finally walked to the third and a half floors, and heard the exclamation of the person in front of him: "Oh, why is it ......?"

"What's the matter, you guys. Ye Langxing complained, "You follow me, I haven't seen any strong winds and waves, ah-"

He yawned again, rubbed his eyes, and saw his fellow senior brother Wang Liefeng standing there.

"Big, senior brother?" he blurted out, and slapped himself again, and the whole person seemed to be enlightened, and he was too sober: "The little ones don't know that His Royal Highness King Shen and General Wang are coming, and they are not welcomed. Hey, you guys, when you see the two adults, don't you kneel down quickly!"

Several juniors have never seen the world, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he does not salute when he sees it, and he only kneels down until he reminds him, there is a very stubborn side post, he just quarreled with him two days ago, but he refused to kneel, Ye Langxing kicked him behind his knee, he groaned, and fell down in embarrassment.

Next to him sat the legendary figure in Bianjing City, His Royal Highness King Shen.

And a girl.

An unknown man in black, who doesn't seem to be a serious person, can't be investigated.

A man and a woman who fell to the ground, he had to pretend he didn't see it.

The difficulty in dealing with the affairs of the aristocracy is to distinguish between what you can see and what you can't see.

I saw His Royal Highness King Shen smiling, politely poured himself a cup of tea, stood up, walked up to him and served it to him. Ye Langxing hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it and said, "Thank you, His Royal Highness King Shen." ”

Zhao Yan said slowly: "Nothing happened here, just a misunderstanding." We've just negotiated and we're ready to get out of here. It's really a laugh for everyone. Thank you for your hard work, please come back. ”

Ye Langxing smiled and said, "In that case, it's great! We heard that something happened here, and we are worried that someone will be injured." It seems that the case was wrongly reported, so let's go back and criticize the person who reported the false case, and see if he dares next time. Ah, in this way, it is really a joy for everyone, the two of you have a good chat, a good chat. ”

After that, he whispered to a few juniors: "Get up and go." ”

Xiao Kuaibianyi, who was kicked down by him just now, was not happy, and muttered in a low voice: "What do you mean, tell me to kneel, just kneel, drive us away, what do you think of us......"

Ye Langxing reprimanded in a low voice: "Bianyi!"

Bian Yi was angry, and when he heard Ye Langxing's angry reprimand, not only did he not retreat, but he became even more angry, and his voice changed from a slight restrained "What's wrong?" to a huge "Can't you see? There is a girl here who is injured like this, and she is about to bleed to death, and ......"

Ye Langxing was like five thunderbolts, and he suddenly felt anxious, and lamented in his heart why he brought such a drag oil bottle to make trouble. The atmosphere became delicate, and Ye Langxing decided to drag him away himself.

He grabbed Bian Yi's shoulder and pulled him down, but Bian Yi insisted on saying the second half of the sentence: "...... The man, who had a nose cut off, wasn't it-"

"Don't say it!" Ye Langxing said angrily, leaning closer to his ear again, and whispered: "You think I'm blind and can't see?"

He had already seen the lid of the cup embedded in the wall – exactly the same as the lid of the cup of tea in his hand!

That's good.

The other man in black, the one still standing, looked over in horror, put his hand to his lips, and made a "shhh" gesture. But Bian Yi spoke too fast, too clearly, before Ye Langxing could stop him, a murderous aura rushed to the sky, surging in his direction, like a stormy wave-the man in black, that is, called "Dog Sniff", screamed, holding the blade - the knife had no handle, he just picked it up, and his hands were full of blood, and the blood splashed on Bian Yi's face, Bian Yi didn't dare to come out at this time, he was just starting out, he had never seen such a terrible murderous aura, and he was stunned. Fortunately, Ye Langxing reacted very quickly, pulling him back, and with a bang, the knife slashed on the ground and exploded silver sparks!
