Suddenly opened her eyes, Qi Niang rolled over from the bed and got up, it was already dark outside. She hadn't slept well for several days, and she closed her eyes for a while and fell asleep unconsciously. Even sleeping with a sword and sleeping in clothes is the sorrow of being a killer. Just now, she seemed to dream about the past again, everything that happened when she was 14 years old, even after nine years, she still remembers it vividly.

Three years ago, Qianjilou wiped out the Red Lotus Castle, and she was able to escape, and Bian Che, the owner of Qianjilou, saw that she was agile and brought her back to Qianjilou, and since then she has become one of the three killers around Bian Che. Accustomed to the days of licking blood from the tip of the knife, he originally thought that he could live like a normal person without Red Lotus Castle, but he found that he could do nothing but kill people. Bian Che asked her if she wanted to come to Qianjilou, and she decisively agreed. Sure enough, he is only suitable to be a killer.

There were bursts of gasps and breathing from the next room, and Qi Niang's face was a little bad, so she walked out with her sword. Outside the courtyard, Ye Jiu was seen keeping vigil.

Qi Niang walked over and said to Ye Jiu: "You go and rest, I'll just guard it tonight." ”

Ye Jiu turned around, his body was tall and straight, his eyebrows were handsome, his age was similar to his own, but he was full of vicissitudes. He stared at her with amber eyes and said, "I'm not sleepy, I see that your face is not very good, are you too tired?" ”

Ye Jiu's voice was full of care, which made Qi Niang's heart warm. She shook her head, "It's just a little noisy." She didn't care at all about confiding her inner thoughts in front of Ye Jiu, probably because Ye Jiu was too much like her younger brother. In the entire Thousand Machine Building, only Ye Jiu and Ye Xiaoliu had a good relationship with her.

Ye Jiu glanced at the room next to Qi Niang's bedroom, and said without any joy or sorrow: "Well, the landlord brought back a dancer from the Snow Moon Pavilion yesterday. ”

Qi Niang didn't speak, Xueyue Pavilion, the favorite place of the son's brother in the capital, for people to listen to music and watch dances, not the Qinglou but better than the Qinglou, and it is also the main goal of this mission. The person they were going to kill this time was Lei Dai, the son of the prime minister of the dynasty, and I heard that Lei Dai would hold a dinner party in the Snow Moon Pavilion at the end of this month to entertain a distinguished guest of a foreign clan. Because there are too many enemies in Qianjilou, many sects in the martial arts want to pull it out, so once Qianjilou takes action, it will be snooped on by all parties, in order to prevent hidden dangers, the killers who perform the task must take turns to keep vigil.

Qi Niang was puzzled in her heart, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know who spent a lot of money this time, and I actually wanted Bian Che to go out in person." ”

Ye Jiu looked around, frowned, and said: "Be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth, just call the landlord by name in front of me, don't call it easily in the future, and besides, we are only responsible for killing people, and the rest can't be asked." ”

Qi Niang looked at Ye Jiu's nervous appearance and laughed, her cold and arrogant expression was instantly as refreshing as a blooming orchid, and her black pupils flashed with the warmth of autumn water. "I see."

Obviously, Ye Jiu arrived at Qianjilou later than her, but he understood the responsibilities of the killer better than himself, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

The door in the distance opened, and a woman with half-exposed shoulders walked out from inside, passing by them with flowers and branches, and then glanced at Qi Niang by the door intentionally or unintentionally, and walked out.

The corners of Qi Niang's mouth hooked, as if she was spit out her tongue quickly, and said disdainfully: "The taste is really poor." ”

Ye Jiu's face didn't have any extra expression, but because of these words, a smile floated.

The two looked at each other and smiled, handsome men and beautiful women, so they didn't get along. As soon as Bian Che stepped out of the room, he saw such a scene.

Sensing someone's gaze, Qi Niang turned her head and just saw Bian Che looking this way, and then saw him look away, leaving a moon-white figure at the end of the corridor.

Suddenly far and near, it is probably the relationship between Qi Niang and Bian Che. Everyone in Qianjilou knows that Qi Niang, Ye Jiu and Ye Xiaoliu are the most popular people around Bian Che, and Qi Niang is the most favored, no matter what the task, as long as Bian Che is there, she must be indispensable, what are the beautiful clothes, interesting things, Bian Che will buy them back, and then ask someone to send them to Qi Niang, and don't forget to add, this is a reward for you. Qi Niang sometimes goes to thank her in person, but every time she looks at the extremely cold face above, thank me for what? That was bought by the way. Bian Che is very special to Qi Niang, but Bian Che never admits it.

Ye Xiaoliu once asked Qi Niang: "Why does the landlord always reward you with things?" ”

Qi Niang replied: "Maybe it's because I'm loyal." ”

"I'm faithful, too."

"This ......" Qi Niang couldn't say what Bian Che meant to herself.

All of this is by the way, and it is given to oneself. Qi Niang is accustomed to it, and it has been like this since a long time ago, whether it is the regret of everyone in Red Lotus Castle or the boy's immature oath.

She is unkind, and everyone in the world is like this, she didn't take it to heart. The purpose of Qi Niang's life is to find her younger brother, even after so many years, her younger brother is still nowhere to be found, but she always believes that he is still alive.

The days were fast approaching the end of the month, and everything was going well, except for ......

"Little Seventh Girl, you can't dance this dance, and you can't play the song well, it's not that I said you, this is already the simplest song, and if you don't play it well, I'll have to change people." The dancer who was pampered by Bian Che once raised her voice and picked up her own no.

But Qi Niang has tried her best, how can a pair of hands used to kill people be worthy of being contaminated with these elegant things, but Bian Che insisted that she learn the music of the Western Regions, in order to better get close to the foreign guest, so that Bian Che could more easily attack Lei Dai. Qi Niang's task this time is a beauty plan.

After Ye Jiu learned that she had accepted this task, his expression was very solemn and he said, "Why don't you refuse?" ”

"Why refuse? I don't have to do anything, just take the man back to his room and kill him. Qi Niang said, although she was not sure if the trip would go well, and even, she was inexplicably nervous. If the operation fails, then she ...... Bian Che actually asked her to do such a thing!

"Wood girl, is this song really the simplest? And I've only been learning for less than half a month, so it's already good to play like this. Qi Niang felt that this woman was deliberately making things difficult for herself.

"Hehe......" The dancer laughed, and the long Kodan was on Qi Niang's shoulder, "Little Qi girl, I, a new girl, can play this song well in a week, do you say it's my problem or you can't do it yourself?" I'm a little puzzled, look at your palms and fingers are calloused, are you really the young lady of the Jin family? My maidservant who washes clothes here has better hands than you. ”

Qi Niang looked indifferently at the hand on her shoulder, her heart was slightly cold, this woman, Cheng Cheng was against herself, her fingers tightened slightly. The eyes were so cold that the dancer's heart couldn't help but tremble, but she pretended to be calm and glared at Qi Niang.

After a while, a mellow and magnetic voice sounded in a deep voice: "Mu Niang, did Qi Niang make you unhappy?" ”

Qi Niang looked back and saw Bian Che striding in, without a trace of a smile on his cold and thin face, his eyes swept over him coldly, and then walked to Mu Niang's side, and hugged Mu Niang's willow waist as if no one was around.

Mu Niang's face flashed with a touch of shyness, and she said softly: "The slave family is not unhappy, it's just ...... It's just that this song seems to embarrass the little seventh girl, and it is understandable for the little seventh girl to complain, and the slave family will definitely teach her well. You can rest assured. ”

"Forget it, from today onwards, you don't need to teach, on the day of the dinner, Mu Niang will choose a suitable person to play, put on a veil, don't let the guests see it, if the guests want to ask, just say that Qi Niang played it." Bian Che said calmly.

"Yes, the second young man came today to see the slave family?" Mu Niang looked at the handsome and extraordinary man in front of her who claimed to be the second young man of the Jin family.

Looking at the beauty in his arms, Bian Che's eyes were not shocked, and he said without being salty or indifferent: "I still have something to do today, and I will come to see you another day." With that, he let go of the hand holding the beauty, glanced at Qi Niang, and then walked out.

Qi Niang followed Bian Che out of the Snow Moon Pavilion with understanding. A handsome man and a glamorous iceberg beauty, walking on the road one after the other, inevitably attracted all kinds of attention, including a pair of inquiring eyes from the restaurant diagonally opposite Xueyue Pavilion.

Bian Che walked quickly without saying a word, and Qi Niang hurriedly quickened her pace to keep up, "Landlord, are we going back?" After speaking, he almost hit the wall of people who suddenly stopped. Qi Niang reacted in time to take a step back and looked at Bian Che suspiciously.

Bian Che frowned and said, "We are being targeted, don't go back for the time being, and act separately." ”

Qi Niang understood, so she turned around and walked to the cloth dyeing workshop at the other end. Sure enough, as soon as she entered the dyeing workshop, she noticed that someone was following behind her, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she shuttled with the person among the colorful cloths, and after a few turns, she threw the person away. Qi Niang's disdain for her opponent rose in her heart, and then she turned to leave.

The city was bustling, Qi Niang bought a hat with a veil to cover her face, and quickly drowned in the crowd.

A group of people rushed over, seemingly the sons and daughters of a large family. The people on the street fled in all directions, Qi Niang was hit by someone coldly, and the person who hit her was a little beggar, who hurried away with his head down. Qi Niang didn't care much, and was about to continue to hurry, a jade-colored figure walked by her casually, with a vague aroma of herbs in her robe, she turned her head for no reason, but only glanced at the thin back of the man.

Back in the Jin family's courtyard, Bian Che had already sat in the hall early, and when he saw Qi Niang, he replied and asked, "For so long, that person is difficult to entangle?" ”

Qi Niang replied: "No, there was a little commotion. Does the landlord know who is following us? ”

Bian Che's eyes suddenly turned cold, rubbed the wrench on his finger, and said, "Who else will there be besides the people of Hanjiang Pavilion." ”

Qi Niang looked at the jasper wrench on Bian Che's finger with complicated eyes, and suddenly remembered the bad memories, but Bian Che was definitely not that person. She immediately returned to reality, remembering that Bian Che in the Snow Moon Pavilion had relieved herself, and she was still grateful in her heart, so she asked, "Landlord, what is the plan?" ”

"It's business as planned."

Maybe it was looking forward to something, Qi Niang asked tentatively: "Landlord, Qi Niang is used to surviving at the knife edge, why does the landlord let me take this task, wouldn't it be better to send Eleven?" "Ye Shiyi was born in Qinglou, he is beautiful and soft, he doesn't know the rhythm but can dance, and he is more suitable for taking on that kind of task than himself.

Bian Che actually smiled, his expression was a little mocking, "Qi Niang thinks of herself as high, do you think that eleven is worthy of laughing with men?" ”

Qi Niang's heart shrank suddenly, lowered her head and bit her lip and said, "Qi Niang has a lot of mouths, I didn't mean that." ”

Bian Che put away his smile, got up and walked past her, and turned around and said, "My subordinates have to know everything and do everything, even if it's to accompany/sleep." One word at a time, the emotionless words made Qi Niang cold to the bottom of her heart.

"It's punishment." Bian Che coldly dropped a sentence and left quickly, leaving Qi Niang looking at his back a little stunned.

Qi Niang didn't know when she had done something wrong, and Bian Che used such a task to punish her. This man is so unpredictable.
