On the day Bian Che came back, Qi Niang had just come back from Cuizhu Valley, and as soon as she entered the general rudder, she found that the atmosphere in the building was different from the past, she grabbed a person and asked, "What's wrong, why are you so nervous?" ”

"The landlord is back, and he's furious! Ye Sixteen is also in it. ”

Little Sixteen is back! Qi Niang was overjoyed for a while, but was immediately shrouded in deep worry, "Why is the landlord angry?" ”

The man whispered to Qi Niang, only to see Qi Niang's eyebrows frowning tighter and tighter, and then she walked quickly to the hall. Ye Sixteen seemed to have just finished speaking, came out of the hall with a depressed face, saw Qi Niang, immediately smiled, opened his arms and rushed towards Qi Niang, and hugged Qi Niang in his arms, but sixteen years younger, fifteen years old, she was only as tall as Qi Niang's chest, and she looked like a child who was coquettish with adults.

"Qi Niang, Brother Jiu said that you were punished by the landlord a few days ago, isn't the landlord angry with you, how can this be?"

"I'm fine. Little Sixteen, I heard that you ran into someone from the court two days ago, and you broke some hands, but you weren't injured, right? And did the landlord embarrass you just now? The two were like sisters who had been reunited for a long time, and when they saw each other as if they were all right, they looked at each other and smiled.

Ye Sixteen winked at Qi Niang, "Hehe, you're still worried about me." Do you think I'm going to fold in the hands of those idiots? ”

Saying that, she let go of Qi Niang and turned around in front of Qi Niang to prove that she was unharmed. But Qi Niang glanced at the feathers on her waist and had half a circle. This is a habit of Ye Sixteen, Ye Sixteen will give each of his subordinates a feather, once the subordinate dies, Ye Sixteen will string that person's feather around his waist. And this time, the Huaiyi rudder was pulled out, many people died, and there were more feathers on her waist. Ye Sixteen once said that although those people were her subordinates, and she didn't even know their names, she would always remember them. If she doesn't mourn them, who will remember them.

Sometimes Qi Niang feels that Ye Sixteen is actually a very lonely person in her heart, although she is always so happy and optimistic. When Qi Niang first met Ye Sixteen, Sixteen was sent to assassinate Bian Che, but failed. Bian Che asked her why she assassinated me. Sixteen replied without fear at all, because there is money to be made by killing you. Bian Che cut her tendons with Sixteen's sword again, and asked who had sent her. Sixteen smiled with tears, I didn't know, they gave me money, and I came. From beginning to end, Ye Sixteen was smiling, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked when she laughed, her eyes were big and innocent, it seemed that she was born to laugh. At that time, Sixteen was still a thirteen-year-old girl, and Qi Niang remembered that when she was her age, she was as unruly and at the mercy of others. Later, for some reason, Bian Che didn't kill Sixteen again, but brought her back to Qianji Tower. Sixteen said, I have no home, I can go anywhere, as long as you make me a bed and give me money, and don't bully me, I am willing to kill anyone for you. This sentence made Qi Niang so sad at that time that she wanted to cry, because her younger brother may be somewhere, having the same experience and saying the same thing. Just thinking of this, Qi Niang felt as sorry for this little girl as she felt for her relatives.

Ye Sixteen is the first person Qi Niang wants to care about except for her younger brother. They hadn't seen each other for almost a year since Sixteen was sent to Huaiyi by Bian Che. Sixteen has grown a lot taller, the childishness on her face has not faded, and her innocent and cheerful girlish appearance makes it difficult to connect her with one of the three major killers of Qianjilou. But now, Sixteen is looking melancholy.

"Sixteen, tell me, what's going on in Huaiyi? Let's say there are some suspicious people. ”

"That day I went back to the rudder, and found that something was not right, after entering, everyone was gone, and finally rescued one, he said that the court sent people to encircle and suppress, and a few companions were afraid that something would happen to me, so they all went to look for me. But I really don't know who leaked our hideout! I don't think anyone would do anything like that. Ye Sixteen was full of doubts.

Qi Niang said: "I can't complain about you either, so have you told the landlord the names of the rest of the people?" ”

Ye Sixteen raised his head and muttered: "Tell me, the landlord asked himself, and asked me where I went at that time, but I answered, and the landlord said that he would punish me." ”

Qi Niang had a sense of foreboding, and asked hesitantly, "What did you answer?" ”

Sixteen laughed whimsically, then hooked his hand towards Qi Niang, motioned for Qi Niang to bend down and listen, and then leaned into Qi Niang's ear and said, "I'm going to buy sugar gourds......"

Qi Niang held her forehead, looking at Xiao Sixteen really had a headache, she finally knew why Bian Che punished her. Qi Niang shook her head and said, "What was punished?" ”

"Said to remove me from the position of helmsman, and I will listen to the ninth brother in the future." Ye Sixteen pouted, very unconvinced.

Qi Niang couldn't help laughing, "That's it?" It's okay, you can spend more time with your ninth brother in the future and learn more things. ”

"I don't want to listen to him, I'm about the same ability as him, why! Brother Jiu is old-fashioned, what can you learn from him! Ye Sixteen was obviously unwilling to go from being an equal to someone in one day, and such a gap was too big a blow to her.

Qi Niang said helplessly: "How can you say that Ye Jiu is also older than you, calm and introverted, you can grind your impetuousness." Okay, you've just come back, go find your ninth brother. ”

Ye Sixteen pulled Qi Niang over, leaned into his ear and muttered: "You'd better not go to the landlord now, the landlord seems to be a little weird today, whoever goes will be unlucky." ”

Qi Niang smiled, "Is the landlord so terrifying?" "Qi Niang has seen Bian Che angry too many times, and she has already seen it strange.

"Mmmm, it's scary today, if you want to go, go ahead, don't blame me for not reminding you." After speaking, Ye Sixteen simply waved his hand and fled.

Qi Niang looked at the speed of Xiao Sixteen's escape, and suddenly hesitated to go in. Thinking like this, Qi Niang turned around and wanted to leave. But someone stopped her, and she had to stop leaving.

"Huh? Qi Niang, you are back, and the landlord called you in. ”

If you should come, you can't hide if you want to. Qi Niang nodded, "Well, I know." ”

In the hall, Bian Che was staring intently at the information from the Wind City rudder in his hand, his dark pupils were uncertain, as if he was recalling something. Qi Niang came in, he didn't raise his eyebrows, still frowning and pondering. Qi Niang just stood aside quietly, waiting for Bian Che to speak.

After a while, Bian Che's low voice slowly sounded: "Here, Qi Niang, how long have you been with me?" ”

"Three years." Qi Niang replied.

"Well, how many missions have you taken?" Bian Che asked tepidly.

Qi Niang frowned, not knowing what Bian Che wanted to do. "Except for the first mission, Qi Niang follows the landlord every time she performs a mission, and I can't remember how many times."

"Good. A few days ago, at the station in Windy City, two people wanted to kill me, but unfortunately they were too stupid to find the wrong place. Bian Che put down the things in his hand and looked up at Qi Niang for a moment.

Qi Niang's expression did not change: "What is the result?" ”

Bian Che smiled casually, "Of course, I killed after asking." However, Bian Che paused, his eagle-like eyes as if he wanted to see through the person in front of him.

"But?" Qi Niang raised her eyebrows and looked puzzled.

"Yu Mingchen found the old things of Red Lotus Fort from those two people, they are two tokens, guess what?" Bian Che suddenly got up and walked over, walked around behind Qi Niang, and gently brushed the soft hair with his hand on the hair on the back of her neck.

Such a posture was a little ambiguous, but Qi Niang felt a hint of coldness from Bian Che's movements and gentle words.

"Landlord, Qi Niang can't guess." Qi Niang stood still, slightly turning her head to look at Bian Che. Bian Che's handsome face at close range had a natural courage, especially the unfathomable eyes that made Qi Niang feel a sense of oppression.

Ye Sixteen is right, today's Bian Che is really strange.

Bian Che examined Qi Niang's expression and said something that shocked Qi Niang: "It's the Wind and Fire Token." ”

How can it be! Qi Niang's eyes couldn't help but widen, and she looked at Bian Che in disbelief. Three years ago, when Qi Niang decided to enter the Thousand Machine Building, Bian Che gave him a task to kill the two protectors of Red Lotus Castle. At that time, Lan Yi, who was the fire protector, had already died to save himself, and the wind protector Chi Feng had fled. It took Qi Niang three days to find Chi Feng and personally cut off his head, handing his token to Bian Che along with Lan Yi's piece. How could two people who died in front of themselves still be alive?

Could it be that Lan Yi didn't die that time? Qi Niang's lips trembled a little, and she forced herself to calm down: "Impossible, I saw the death of the Wind and Fire Protector with my own eyes, there must be something wrong in this." ”

Bian Che stared at her, "The Wind and Fire Token is the half life of the Dharma Protector, the life is still there, the token cannot be lost, you used to be a person from the Red Lotus Castle, you won't be unclear." ”

"Just two tokens that I don't know if they are true or false are not enough to show that those two are ......" Qi Niang's words were not finished, Bian Che stuffed two heavy things into Qi Niang's hands.

Qi Niang saw that the words and lotus patterns engraved on the token in her hand were exactly the same as the two tokens she handed over to Bian Che three years ago.

Bian Che said in a deep voice: "On the back of their necks, they also have red lotus marks. ”

Qi Niang was shocked, only to feel a sudden chill behind her neck, and Bian Che had already lifted her hair in front of her. Suddenly, where Qi Niang's back was covered by hair, a red lotus the size of a plum blossom was revealed. It was a sign that every Red Lotus Fort elite had, and it was scorched with a blazing black iron.

"In the secret report from the helmsman, it was mentioned that Qi Niang had a great friendship with the Fire Protector Lan Yi of Red Lotus Castle, but is it true?"

Qi Niang's face did not change, and replied truthfully: "Yes, Lan Yi once saved my life." If I hadn't known that she was dead, I wouldn't have taken over that task three years ago, and now Qi Niang wouldn't be staying by the landlord's side. Qi Niang's heart slowly grew a slight coolness, and she looked up into Bian Che's eyes, "Does the landlord suspect that Qi Niang is not doing things well, or is he deliberately hiding their whereabouts and letting them go?" ”

Bian Che stared at her for a long time, as if he wanted to find some flaws in her eternal cold and hard expression, but Qi Niang's ice-like face was still firm as usual. This made Bian Che feel a little reassured, and even felt that it didn't matter who the person who betrayed him was, as long as it wasn't her.

When he thought about it, even Bian Che himself was taken aback, but he still put down his cruel words: "I will investigate the affairs of Huaiyi and the affairs of Fengcheng one by one." All those who have something to do with Red Lotus Fort can't be let go easily, and no one is an exception. ”

Qi Niang lowered her eyes and suppressed the surging emotions, "Since those two people in Windy City are dead, how can Qi Niang make the landlord believe me?" ”

"If I want me to believe you, I have to be obedient and don't do anything that disappoints me." Bian Che said without any emotion, it was over, he paused, and said: "Three months later, it will be a martial arts conference, and Hanjiang Pavilion will definitely go to participate in it, and you and I will go to meet Jiang Qihan together." ”

"What about Yeluxin's side?"

"Ye Luxin is now blessed by the imperial court, we can't confront the imperial court for the time being, let him live a little longer. Our biggest enemy at the moment is Hanjiang Pavilion. Bian Che said through gritted teeth.

When Qi Niang heard Bian Che say this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, since Ye Lu Xin's matter was put aside for the time being, she still had a chance to meet Ye Lu Ya......

When he was distracted, Bian Che asked slowly, "I heard that you have been running outside lately, and your injuries are healing so quickly?" ”

Qi Niang came back to her senses, a little helpless, did Bian Che really send someone to watch her every move in Qianji Building? After three years of companionship, he failed to gain all his trust. However, her eyes didn't fluctuate at all, and her tone was very ordinary, "I heard that the martial arts idiot Bai Toyota is strong in martial arts, and Qi Niang wants to visit." My injuries are fine, thanks to the medicine given by the landlord. ”

Bian Che moved his gaze to the side and said, "It was given by someone else, and I don't think it's too much." ”

"Someone else?" Qi Niang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Bian Che took in Qi Niang's expression, thinking that she was studying the truth of his words, so her tone was even more unkind, "What? ”

Qi Niang shook her head, seemed to believe Bian Che's words, and had no intention of refuting or questioning, "Then thank you for sending so many expensive medicines to the landlord, otherwise Qi Niang may not be able to use such good medicine in her life." ”

Qi Niang is very smart, but sometimes she is extremely dull, or she pretends to be dull on purpose. Qi Niang's slightly ironic words made Bian Che sulk.
