Under his gaze, Qi Niang couldn't help but clench the hand hidden in her sleeve, as if she had said the wrong thing and was broken. But isn't she just a shadow of a few people in Bian Che's mind, why does he look at him with such eyes.

Yu Mingchen saw that Bian Che was drenched in coldness, and hurriedly lowered his head: "Subordinates should be damned, subordinates are too talkative." ”

Qi Niang bowed her head respectfully and no longer looked at Bian Che.

"What Qi Niang just said is true, even if I want your life, will you give it?" Bian Che's voice seemed to be tentative, and his eyes were extremely cold.

Yu Mingchen couldn't help but sweat for Qi Niang.

"Qi Niang's life is given by the landlord, if the landlord needs it, Qi Niang has no words." Qi Niang's face did not change, and she said respectfully as usual.

Bian Che squinted his eyes and looked at her for a long time before he forced out a sentence: "Your life, I don't want it yet!" I only listened to the sound of my sleeves brushing hard, and Bian Che's voice was cold.

"Yu Mingchen, come in!"

Yu Mingchen glanced at Qi Niang, and then shook his head, as if to persuade her not to distract the landlord. Everyone in Qianjilou is cautious in their words and deeds, and they don't dare to make the landlord angry, and even want to say all the good things that the landlord likes to hear, but Qi Niang is an exception.

Why is Bian Che angry? Qi Niang stood in the attic and thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't come up with a perfect answer. She leaned on the pillar and pretended to sleep, and Yu Mingchen seemed to have finished talking to the landlord and left. A drop of water dripped onto the tip of Qi Niang's nose, her eyelashes trembled, and she still closed her eyes and remained motionless. It began to rain in the sky, and it became heavier and heavier.

"How long do you want to get drenched?" The deep helplessness in the low, annoyed voice could not be hidden.

A wide sleeve covered the rain above Qi Niang's head and pulled her under the eaves.

Qi Niang looked up at Bian Che and saw that he was slightly tilted his head, and the deep emotion in his eyes was so thick that he couldn't dissolve. He was helpless and showed a trace of impatience, as if talking to himself: "Why did I meet someone like you who doesn't know what to do?" ”

"I'm worried that the landlord will encounter something like tonight again, so I'm staying here." Qi Niang said seriously.

"Worried about me?" Bian Che's eyebrows rose a little, as if he was a little happy, and then pulled Qi Niang up to the attic.

"If I don't come out, are you going to stay until the next day?" Bian Che draped a cloak on Qi Niang's body.

A look of surprise appeared on Qi Niang's face, as if she felt that Bian Che's actions were very surprising.

"When it's raining heavily, I'll naturally take shelter from the rain."

Bian Che snorted coldly, turned his head sideways, then walked to the desk, pointed to a letter on the desk, and said, "Do you know the words on it?" ”

Qi Niang picked it up and looked at it, shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I feel familiar." As if she had suddenly thought of something, she turned her head and asked, "This seems to be the text seen on the relief of the dark chamber of the Holy Fire Cult ruins?" ”

"Yes, these words are Dongwu's words. The leader of the Holy Fire Sect used to be from Dongwu, so the text on the map of the dark room was also in Dongwu script. ”

An idea suddenly flashed through her mind, and Qi Niang looked at Bian Che's handsome side face in a daze.

"Are you trying to ask me why I can read these obscure words? I lived in Dongwu when I was a child, but I am from the Central Plains. I have a friend who wants to do a big thing in Dongwu, so he asked me to help, and the Jinda Chamber of Commerce and Qianjilou all exist for this matter. The person you see today is someone sent by my friend to investigate other things for me, and his name is Xiahou Zhu. Qianjilou and the Chamber of Commerce are black and white, Akari has a close relationship, and in fact, they are also holding each other back, and many of my actions, the Chamber of Commerce will keep an eye on. So don't think that the last time you broke into the Qingwu Gate at night, if you were found out by the people of the Chamber of Commerce, they would treat you leniently because of your identity. Bian Che stared at her with a blank expression.

"Is the big thing the landlord said related to the night drug lord?" Qi Niang had a trace of speculation in her heart.

Bian Che nodded, "Dongwu provides drug lords, we are responsible for making hidden weapons, and the Chamber of Commerce is responsible for money." I'll tell you when the time is right. ”

"The night drug lord is a secret of the Thousand Machines Building, why did the landlord tell me? I thought about running away...... Isn't the landlord afraid that I will leak out? Qi Niang turned her face sideways and lowered her eyes.

"For the sake of your worries about me, I am willing to believe you as much as you believe in Jeremi." Bian Che's face was gentle, he paused, and said, "I'm ...... today." Isn't it scary? ”

Qi Niang looked at him in surprise, and seeing his burning eyes, she shook her head and said, "No, the landlord is not terrible at all, what is terrible is the incense." ”

Bian Che grinned, "It's good that I wasn't completely confused and didn't hurt you." Bian Che suddenly put his hand on Qi Niang's shoulder, almost encircled her in his arms, and stared at her deeply.

Does Bian Che still have an impression of Fang Cai's affairs? But obviously he was calling someone else's name, who he was calling, did he really remember?

The sadness gradually spread from the bottom of her heart, and she lowered her head, unwilling to touch Bian Che's slightly burning gaze. I don't know how to face the unusual Bian Che tonight, he has always been resolute, indifferent and arrogant, and he has never been so gentle to himself, except when he recognized her as Bai Yuying.

She said slowly: "Yue Bufan betrayed the landlord, why didn't the landlord inform everyone of his crimes, so that everyone could misunderstand that the landlord could not tolerate him?" ”

"Yue Bufan used to be my good brother, the person I trusted the most, I didn't expect him to do this, I still feel that he has to do it. But for the sake of Qianjilou, I had to kill him. I won't let him bear such notoriety until I find out why he betrayed me. Bian Che's tone was a little hoarse, perhaps recalling the past with Yue Bufan.

Qi Niang was moved by such Bian Che, "Landlord, I never thought of betraying you, even if I planned to leave here with my younger brother, I didn't think about it. ”

"Anyone can leave and betray me without thinking about the best, but you must not." His eyes were resolute, and his words were in a tone that could not be refused.

Qi Niang looked at him stunned, but saw the smile on his face.

"I think...... I think I'm in love with you. After Bian Che said this, his face flushed with an unnatural red, but he still looked at her steadily, and the strength in his hand increased slightly.

Qi Niang couldn't help but open her mouth and looked at him with wide eyes.

Bian Che smiled even deeper, "Don't be surprised, do you think I have no heart?" After three years with you, is it strange that I have such feelings for you? ”

"I ......" Qi Niang closed her eyes, her heart suddenly hurt, she lowered her head and said, "I don't dare to have such a non-dividing thought." I just need to do what the landlord tells me to do. ”

"You're not a weapon to kill, you're a living person, you should have seven emotions and six desires, don't you have a little feeling for me? Or do you really think that your opinion of me really has nothing to do with me? Bian Che locked her gaze firmly, as if he wanted to see through her.

Qi Niang was speechless. He was still concerned about the conversation he had with Yu Mingchen just now, otherwise why would he say such a thing?

When he lingered with other women all night, when he hugged her but gently called other people's names, the deepest sting in this heart, and the feelings that had sprouted unconsciously for a long time, must have been unknown to him. He can like many women, and he can talk touching love words to many women, but he only looks at one person in his eyes. She may be just one of these poor women, impressed, then discarded, and inescapable.

Qi Niang has mixed feelings in her heart. Her face was as silent as a puppet.

The light in Bian Che's eyes gradually dimmed, and the hand on her shoulder became heavier. Qi Niang heard a soft sigh above her head.

"You're even colder than I thought, but I've got enough patience to make you like me." Bian Che pulled Qi Niang to his chest, his chin against the top of her head. He had never been so serious about his feelings. There had never been a moment when he was so eager to hear her response.

The sound of the rain outside fell on the eaves and rattled, and Bian Che's voice was as beautiful as flowing water, if it wasn't for his reason overcoming his emotions, maybe Qi Niang would have fallen into it.

The rain seemed to be about to extinguish the sweltering heat for days, and there was no sign of stopping the next day. In the garden of Rong Xi Manor, Yu Xuan'er looked at the vines in the courtyard, and a trace of sadness was added to her delicate little face.

"Miss, no, no, no!" A maid hurried over.

"What's wrong? I'm so good! Yu Xuan'er hurriedly corrected.

Seeing that the maid was out of breath, Yu Xuan'er had a bad premonition in her heart, grabbed her shoulder and said, "Is Wei Shaoqing's illness committed again?" ”

"No, it's a guest from the manor."

Yu Xuan'er let go of her and pouted, "On a rainy day, who is still a guest?" ”

"They're outside the owner's Moon Pavilion!"

Yu Xuan'er hurriedly walked towards the outside of the courtyard, "Let's go, go and see!" ”

"Hey, Miss, I'll hold the umbrella for you!"

In the Moon Pavilion, in a dark corner, Wei Shaoqing was sitting in a wheelchair, there was no light in his room, and the curtain was not opened, it was as dim as night.

He struggled to get up from the wheelchair on one leg with crutches, and before he could stand firmly, he fell heavily to the ground, and he reached for the crutches, but could not reach them. I had to crawl over slowly, and finally caught it, but the other leg couldn't be used.

Wei Shaoqing propped himself up, leaned his back against the wall, and threw his cane aside. Every rainy day, his leg hurts terribly, and the only remaining right leg seems to be gnawed by countless insects, but despite this, he still wants to see how tenacious his willpower is. But his legs can no longer support this willpower.

Outside the Moon Pavilion, several black-clothed men wearing hats stood in the rain, confronting each other's guards at the manor.

"Jiang Rong, I'm afraid my leg is really useless...... Wei Shaoqing muttered in the dark, "What should I do, what should I do?" If you're still around, you'll be able to cure it. Why aren't you there? His voice sounded like a cry.

He was answered by endless silence.

A gust of wind suddenly blew in, the windows and doors opened, and a dark figure burst in, pointing a sword at him.

"What about Dream Souls? Where did you put it? The woman's eyes and voice were as cold as moonlight.

Wei Shaoqing smiled lightly, a little arrogant and arrogant, "Why does everyone want a dream soul, I won't give it to you." As he spoke, he grabbed the curtain beside him with one hand.

There was a sudden gust of wind in the room, and Wei Shaoqing sat firmly in the wheelchair.
