Although the young man did something to save Tie Da, since Tie Da woke up, he didn't say a word of kindness, and what he meant was more of an information transaction.

- I saved you just to get something out of your mouth.

And after Tie Da confronted the question of not cooperating, the young man not only did not defend himself to gain Tie Da's trust, but instead stated his position again, a little cold and a little mean.

However, after hearing these words, the things that Tie Da valued in his heart were changing slightly.

Put me to death, and the head of the family really wants to put me to death? Why, what am I doing wrong?

The sentence that the young man had just asked him had now become a question entrenched in his mind, a little snake that had penetrated into his body and was gnawing at his heart.

At this moment, the young man sighed as if talking to himself: "People can't just throw it away like a thing, it's a pity ......"

Tie Da vaguely understood the meaning of the young man's words, because of this, he had a different idea about the thing he was holding on to in his heart for the first time. Even if Gao Yu gave up on him like a waste, then he might not be able to surrender to the young man in front of him who saved his life.

Perhaps the most loyal thing a person should have is to himself. So what the boy just said is still a bit interesting! Giving away what had allowed you to survive in this way may really be equivalent to hastening yourself to endure a second NDE.

Tie Da tugged at the corners of his mouth and made an extremely hoarse guttural sound, I don't know whether he was snorting or sneering, and then he said, "What do you want to know?" ”

The young man did not answer, but asked, "Do you think I will believe what you are saying now?" ”

His words sound very contradictory, but with the environment at this time, it is not difficult to taste his true intention.

"You don't believe me. Why bother to save me. "Although there is a small temple next door here, I don't believe that you are a compassionate and idle bodhisattva." ”

"I'm relieved that you can still joke." The corners of the young man's lips curled slightly, and this time the smile on his face finally had a little more warmth. After a pause, he continued: "Gao Yu wants you to die, there are many ways; If you want to kill yourself, no matter how many people I send to watch you, I won't be able to change the outcome. So now I just want to ask one question, do you want to live? ”

"Will you let me choose?" Tie Da's eyes showed disdain.

"Only the living have a choice." The young man's voice was indifferent. "On top of Gao Yu, I can give you a choice."

"Hahaha......"

Tie Da suddenly laughed wildly.

It's just that he didn't laugh so well, people with weak physiques can understand that crying and laughing are also very exhaustive work, and Tie Da's body at this time was all hanging by the medicine that the young man took out just now, and it didn't take long for his laughter to be covered by a cough with a dull timbre.

With his hands on the ground, Tie Da, who no longer had the strength to sit firmly, tried his best to suppress the cloudiness in his chest. He gasped and looked up at the young man, the sparkle in his eyes like a lamp starved of oil, which had begun to slowly dim.

"Who are you?"

Tie Da repeated the question he had asked the young man once.

His voice began to show a deplum, and the young man knew that the power of the pill was beginning to fade, but his face and tone remained calm and indifferent—although he was in a hurry, and the opportunity to go out like this was not easy for him.

"You should know. I won't answer that question, but you asked anyway. The young man paused at this, and then he looked at Tie Da's blackened face with a direct gaze, and after a moment, he said in an extremely indifferent tone: "The first time we met, I was not masked, so do you understand?" ”

There was a blank look in Tie Da's eyes. The sudden evening breeze blew down a rotten lantern on the garbage mountain and rolled it to the young man's feet. He kicked him aside at will. That's when it happened. Tie Da's gaze paused for a moment on the yellow silk tassel raised from the young man's waist, and he suddenly laughed and said, "I don't want to die." ”

He stared at the young man's face, and then said, "But I may not listen to you. If only I could live, of course. If you don't live happily, dying like this at this moment may be the most comfortable way. ”

"You're right, but you're overestimating your current abilities." The young man sneered, "What can I do with you like this?" ”

Tie Da looked at his hands that were already trembling on the ground, and the words in his ears made him suddenly feel a wave of anxiety in his heart. He suddenly wanted to stand up, but with all his might, he only managed to get his upper body into the air, and soon he fell to his stomach, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand. His chest was pressed like another boulder, and it seemed that it would soon crush his beating heart.

Tie Da, Tie Da, where did your innate divine power go? Have you really become a wreck?

Tie Da's heart suddenly couldn't suppress a pessimistic feeling, this thought made him feel disgusted, but a heavier feeling of exhaustion hit his mind, so that he didn't even have a chance to experience this disgust for a while.

Before he fell unconscious again, Tie Da heard the last words the young man say to him: "Don't worry, I will let you see the sunrise tomorrow." ”

Tie Da entered a state of suspended animation again, and when he saw him lying on the ground, the brocade-clothed man who was summoned by the young man hurriedly turned him over to prevent him from holding his breath and dying.

The young man took a cloak from the hand of the brocade-clothed man Komori he brought and put it on himself, Komori glanced at Tie Da, who was unconscious not far away, and asked, "What to do with him next?" ”

"Just if you have an extra donkey, don't starve him if you can't work." The young man said lightly, and lifted the hat from the cloak, and the broad brim of the hat was over his head, and his face was no longer clear in the shadow.

"I'm back."

……

The time has passed, and most of the guests who were eating dinner at the "Tozuru Restaurant" in the north of Kyoto have dispersed. The remaining few diners either used the restaurant as a wine restaurant and got drunk on the table, or they were people who talked about things and ate secondarily.

Although the curfew in this capital city ruled by the Son of Heaven is later than that of ordinary cities, if the time for dinner is prolonged, it will be hasty to visit more. It has to be said that people's living habits will change with the framework of the environment.

As one of the two major commercial sectors in Kyoto, the restaurant is located in the center of entertainment and commerce, and the architectural layout of the restaurant retains the traditional sophistication and meticulousness of the area. Most of the drunken diners are in the lobby, and the diners who talk about things are all in the private rooms above the second floor.

In a private room in the north corner of the third floor, Lin Shantuo drank a sip of osmanthus brew, and the fragrance suddenly overflowed between the lips and teeth. After putting down the wine cup, his eyes fell into the glass, and he suddenly smiled silently.

Li Gai, who was sitting opposite, also made half a bowl of wine proudly, the edge of the bowl was short, just seeing this scene, he couldn't help but smile and asked: "You have been busy all day today, and your interest can be so high, is there anything to be happy about, it is better to make a drink!" ”

Lin Shan turned to the wine cup beside his hand, smiled and said, "The position of surnamed Wan is not guaranteed, and there will be a big battle tomorrow." ”

"The secretary of the ministry?" Li Gai said movingly: "Tomorrow you will return your identity to the court, and you will immediately move the chief officer of the Ministry of Officials, I'm afraid it's in a hurry!" ”

Lin Shan spread his hands and said: "This is the emperor's meaning, he has long wanted to take down the old Shangshu, and now that the evidence has been collected, the follow-up candidates have also been decided, but I will swing the knife faster." ”

Li Gai blurted out: "This person who refills the preparation can't be you, right?" ”

"How is this possible?" Lin Shan raised his eyebrows, then lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "I am not familiar with Jingguan, and I haven't understood many things at all, and I am not good at this." If there is a problem with the Ministry of Works, the emperor may fill me in. ”

"That's just as well." Li Gai chuckled and nodded, noticing that Lin Shan's wine cup was empty, so he poured another glass for him.

Putting down the wine jug, Li Gai pondered for a while and then said: "I believe that since the emperor has already planned and is joining forces with you now, Wan Shangshu will not be able to escape tomorrow, but you should know very well what his position represents." This is a very offensive thing, although it was ordered by the emperor, but you still have to pay more attention to your own safety. ”

"Hmm." Lin Shan nodded and said, "When it's over tomorrow, I will do my best to move to the residence you arranged." It won't be long before I have to leave Beijing again, and even if they want to find me, I'm afraid they won't be too lazy to trek. Lin Shan said, poured the wine cup he was holding, and the wine was exhausted.

Seeing this, Li Gai couldn't help but remind: "Don't drink so quickly, it's easy to get drunk and hurt yourself." ”

Lin Shan raised the wine cup slightly in the air, and said with a smile: "A small cup like this, three or five cups are not a problem, and even if I am drunk in front of you, I am not worried that you will throw me into any place." ”

"Maybe I will." Li Gai stared at Lin Shan and teased.

There was silence in the private room for a while, and then a hearty laugh erupted.

"Okay, don't drink, I'll eat." Lin Shan smiled and put down the wine cup, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of crispy fish. This fish meat is plucked out of the thorns and then sliced, first overheated oil and then fried in the pot, the slightly marinated fish fillets are fried a little brown, crispy and soft into the flavor, the taste is excellent, with wine and rice, it is a special dish that private diners have always loved to order.

After finishing half a bowl of rice, Lin Shan put aside his chopsticks and stopped for a while, only then did he realize that Li Gai, who was sitting opposite, neither ate nor drank, his eyes were slightly condensed, as if he had something on his mind.

This scene quickly reminded Lin Shan of something, and then said: "I almost forgot, you are not an idler now, I am afraid that you will not spend your free time listening to my chatter in your busy schedule." What the hell is going on, just tell me! ”。 (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
