Chapter 488: Bai Peng's suspicions
"Flutter!"
The dagger like lightning instantly pierced the shoulder of the half-kneeling black shadow, and a blood flower suddenly spilled out, but the half-kneeling black shadow gritted his teeth and didn't even shout a word of pain.
The blue-eyed man hanging upside down on the branch stared at the black shadow half-kneeling on the ground, and asked in a cold voice: "All the members of the Shennong Gang who fail in the mission will only end up with death, but do you know why I didn't kill you just now?" ”
The black shadow half-kneeling on the ground hurriedly replied strongly: "The subordinates are stupid, and please make it clear to Lord Qingli." ”
With a bang, the blue-eyed man turned over from the branch and landed steadily in front of the black shadow, he looked at the half-kneeling black shadow with a pair of cyan gloomy eyes, and said: "That's because you are my most trusted subordinate, in fact, this time I can only blame your bad luck, if it wasn't for Qin Shaoyang halfway, I'm afraid that Bai Qi would have been in the underworld by now." ”
"But Lord Qingli ......" The black shadow who was half-kneeling on the ground saw that Qingli did not punish himself, and his tightly clenched heart finally relaxed a little, but he still pleaded guilty for himself with a guilty tone, "This time is still my failure after all, if you don't punish me, then you ......"
Qing Li stretched out his hand to stop the worry of the half-kneeling black shadow, and said coldly: "My Qing Li can't have a subordinate to worry about, you hear clearly, this time I can forgive you for your mistakes, but next time if you fail again, I will definitely kill you mercilessly, understand?" ”
"Yes...... Be...... Lord Qingli! The half-kneeling black shadow's slightly relaxed heart was once again suspended, and he quickly said yes.
With a snort, it was just a blink of an eye, Qing Li, who was originally standing in front of him, had already jumped up and landed on the high tree right, he looked at the half-kneeling black shadow with his green flashing eyes, and said: "This time you have two targets to assassinate, one is Bai Qi, and the other is the man named Qin Shaoyang, do you hear clearly?" ”
"Obey, Lord Qingli, this time the subordinates will definitely not miss again!" The black shadow half-kneeling on the ground immediately clasped his hands into fists and shouted categorically.
"I hope the next time I see you, you'll bring me good news."
I only heard the sound of a sudden wind, and the blue black figure seemed to melt into the deep night, and there was no trace of it at all, only the eerie and terrifying voice was heard in the ear.
After Qing Lili left for a long time, the black shadow half-kneeling on the ground dared to stand up, probably with too much force, and a sharp pain like a tear immediately gushed out from the injured shoulder. The black shadow hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms and pressed it vigorously on his shoulder, but his bright eyes were firmly fixed on the direction in which Qing Li had disappeared.
Suddenly, two straight rays of light shone in from outside the trees, and then the voices of the two Bai Clan guards were heard talking -- "Did you hear anything coming from the trees just now?" ”
"It seems that there is, but it can't be someone, right?"
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look, we can't be sloppy!"
The two Bai guards walked into the woods one after the other with flashlights, and looked around, but they didn't find any human figures, except for the neighing of insects in the woods, and the calls of some unknown night birds. After checking around, the two guards found nothing suspicious, so they left the grove with their flashlights and continued to patrol along the gravel road. Not long after the two Bai Clan guards left, a black shadow jumped down from the tree with agility, and escaped from the woods with extremely dexterity and skill, running towards the Bai Clan's villa not far away.
Island in the middle of the lake, Baiyue Villa, Baiqi's exclusive bedroom.
Bai Qi was lying on a huge silk bed, wearing a snow-white pajamas, probably the reason for waking up just now, Bai Qi's handsome face was still showing a pale color, but at this time, Bai Qi was looking up at the ceiling, as if he was thinking about something.
Suddenly, Bai Qi's nose wrinkled slightly, and a dull and strange smell overflowed into the bedroom, and then Bai Peng walked into the bedroom quickly with a bowl of brown soup.
"Bai Peng, what are you serving, what kind of smell is this?!" Bai Qi stretched out his hand to cover his nose, his eyebrows furrowed, and asked Bai Peng.
Bai Peng walked quickly to Bai Qi's bed with a medicine bowl in his hand, and said, "Young Master, this is the Chinese medicine soup that Qin Shao prescribed for you, today is the last amount, you can drink it quickly." ”
"No, I don't want to drink this kind of thing, this smell is too strong, you better take it out quickly!" Not to mention drinking that bowl of brown medicinal soup, just smelling this choking smell, Bai Qi felt that he was about to suffocate, if he was forcibly fed in a coma, then he would never drink such an unpleasant thing in his awake state now.
In desperation, Bai Peng had to walk out of the bedroom with the medicine bowl, and just as he walked out of the bedroom door, the personal maid Bai Lian had just passed by. I don't know why, Bai Lian actually bumped into Bai Peng's body all of a sudden, although it was only a little harder, but Bai Lian let out a cry of pain, and her left hand hurriedly supported her right shoulder, and her face became very pale.
"White Lotus, are you okay?" Seeing Bai Lian's pale face, Bai Peng asked with some concern.
Bai Lian hurriedly shook her head, a sweet smile appeared on her delicate face, and she bowed to Bai Peng and saluted: "I'm sorry Steward Bai, I was thinking about something just now, so I was a little ...... into my mind."
"It doesn't matter, I didn't hurt you just now, did I?" Bai Peng looked at Bai Lian and asked, "What's going on with your right shoulder, are you okay?" ”
As a person who practices martial arts, Bai Peng can see at a glance that Bai Lian's shoulder is injured, otherwise a person like Bai Lian would never exhale in pain because of a gentle bump, and Bai Lian is Bai Qi's personal maid, so Bai Peng's relationship with Bai Lian is the same as his own sister.
Bai Lian looked a little panicked when she heard Bai Peng's question, but soon, she shifted her attention to the medicine bowl in Bai Peng's hand and asked, "Steward Bai, why did you bring out the medicine, is it that Young Master Bai doesn't want to drink it?" ”
Hearing Bai Lian say this, Bai Peng sighed helplessly, he looked at the medicine bowl in his hand and said: "Isn't it, the young master, what he hates the most is the smell of Chinese medicine soup, but this is what Qin Shao specially ordered the young master to drink, I am worried that if the young master does not continue to drink the medicine, his body will have problems......"
Seeing what Bai Peng was worried about, Bai Lian smiled sweetly, took the medicine bowl in Bai Peng's hand with a pair of slender hands, and said, "Steward Bai, since this is the case, then let me try it, maybe I can persuade the young master to drink this bowl of medicinal soup." ”
Bai Peng's self-recommendation made Bai Peng's heart happy, and he almost didn't think about it before handing over the medicine bowl to Bai Lian, in fact, Bai Peng knew very well in his heart that Bai Qi had never agreed to arrange any maids by his side, especially maids. But the strange thing is that when Bai Qi saw Bai Lian for the first time, he agreed to let Bai Lian be a personal maid and bodyguard by his side. Of course, Bai Peng also knew in his heart that a big reason why Bai Qi agreed to let Bai Lian stay by his side was because of Bai Lian's face, which looked like 'Bai Xue'.
With a squeak, the bedroom door was pushed open again, Bai Qi almost didn't even look at it, and ordered in a very impatient tone: "Bai Peng, didn't I just say, take that bowl of medicine out, I will never drink it!" ”
"Young Master!"
Bai Qi's displeasure did not make Bai Lian feel afraid, on the contrary, Bai Lian gently held the medicine bowl, moved to Bai Qi's bed with light steps, and called softly.
Seeing that the person in front of him was Bai Lian, Bai Qi's somewhat unhappy face eased slightly, but he still resistantly ordered Bai Lian: "Bai Lian, why are you holding this bowl of medicine, quickly pour it down, I don't want to drink it anymore!" ”
In the face of Bai Qi's strong resistance, Bai Lian's delicate face was full of a sweet smile from beginning to end, she looked at Bai Qi and persuaded with a smile: "Young Master, this is the last amount of medicinal soup, if you want to get out of bed as much as possible, then you must drink this last medicinal soup, otherwise when Qin Shaoyang sees that the young master is still lying on the bed for fear of drinking Chinese medicine, he will definitely sneer at the young master, right?" ”
Hearing Bai Lian's explanation, Bai Qi immediately brought the medicine bowl over, he could be looked down upon by anyone, but he was absolutely not allowed to let Qin Shaoyang see his weak appearance. I saw Bai Qi take a deep breath and pour the medicinal soup into his stomach suddenly. Within a moment, a full bowl of medicinal soup entered Bai Qi's mouth, and Bai Qi's handsome face flushed red, and he said proudly towards Bai Lian: "Hmph, I don't want to be looked down upon by others, isn't it just a bowl of Chinese herbal soup, what's the big deal, I haven't drunk it in one go...... Ahem......"
It may be that he drank the medicinal soup too quickly, Bai Qi couldn't help coughing violently, and seeing this, Bai Lian hurriedly took out a tissue from the tissue box next to him and handed it to Bai Qi. Bai Qi coughed violently while touching Bai Lian's hand, and inadvertently, Bai Qi pulled Bai Lian's arm, and Bai Lian suddenly exclaimed as if she had been needled.
Hearing Bai Lian's abnormal exclamation, Bai Qi's violent cough suddenly disappeared, he looked up at Bai Lian, and asked with a concerned expression: "Bai Lian, what's wrong with your arm, did I hurt you just now?" ”
"No, no, no!" Bai Lian's face was pale and she said three words in a row, and then showed a reluctant smile, and said, "Thank you young master for worrying, it's just a small bump......
Bai Qi looked at Bai Lian with bright and wise eyes, and asked with a slight hesitation, "Last night's bruise?" ”
Bai Lian hurriedly nodded, looked into Bai Qi's eyes, and said, "Yes, young master, before going to bed last night, I practiced my kung fu in my room, and I accidentally stumbled on the wall, so my shoulder is still aching faintly, but it's okay, and it will be fine after a few days of rest." ”
"Oh, I see, Bai Lian, then you should be careful in the future." Seeing that Bai Lian had just injured her shoulder while practicing, the worry on her handsome face dissipated, and she persuaded softly.
Bai Lian immediately nodded and said, "Thank you young master for your concern, I will pay attention to it." ”
However, the conversation between Bai Lian and Bai Qi attracted the attention of Bai Peng, who was standing by the door, only to see his two sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he sensed that something was wrong. And at this moment, the mobile phone in Bai Peng's pocket suddenly rang, he stared at the caller ID, and gently connected the call, but he heard the voice on the other end of the phone report a little hurriedly: "Butler Bai, it's not good, there is an abnormal situation in the woods!" ”
