Chapter 14: Dreams
A person once said to Bian Che that as an assassin, the most fearful thing is to sleep, because I don't know when someone will come to him for revenge, and even in a dream, he will dream of coming to him to ask for his life. Bian Che couldn't remember how many years ago he dreamed, maybe it was the first time he killed someone, those dreams, he didn't have any impression at all, but they must have been bloody.
For the first time, Bian Che actually entered a strange dream this time. He stood in the middle of the desert as far as the eye could see, and under his feet were corpses everywhere, enemies who knew him, who did not know, who hated him to the bone, and allies who had fought with him in the Red Lotus Castle. All of them died, but he was left alone.
"You go, don't come back and die." The wind kicked up the dust, and a girl's voice whispered in his ear.
Hearing that voice, he was overjoyed, and wanted to see the girl's appearance clearly, but the girl's figure was only a blurry figure in the dust, and no matter how hard he tried to get closer, he couldn't see clearly. Until the sand and dust stagnated without wind, a red shadow gradually appeared in the distance. Bian Che walked towards the back in despair, and the woman turned around, and it was her familiar face, with sparse eyebrows and smiling eyes that seemed to hide thousands of stars. A snow-white Persian cat was lying quietly in the crook of the woman's arm.
"Qi Niang, why are you here?" Bian Che was confused for a while, he didn't know why Qi Niang appeared here, the person he wanted to see was not her. Looking at that peerless face, Bian Che lost his mind for a moment, he didn't know whether it was joy or other emotions, he walked towards Qi Niang, as if he wanted to catch something, just stretched out his hand, but as soon as his fingers touched the corner of the red clothes, the person in front of him became farther and farther away from him until he disappeared.
When Bian Che returned to reality from his dream, there was a beautiful woman lying beside him, the woman was only covered with a yellow tulle, almost unclothed, and her posture was bewitching and amorous, and her jade-like skin was printed with red marks after love. Seeing Bian Che sit up suddenly, the woman immediately climbed on Bian Che's shoulder like a boneless snake, and said with charming eyes: "Er Shao, what's wrong with you?" Got a nightmare? ”
Bian Che shook his head in confusion, in fact, what kind of nightmare it was, but it was just an inexplicable dream. He suddenly wanted to see Bai Yuying again, if Bai Yuying was by his side, maybe he wouldn't be as confused as he is now.
"I still have something to do, Mu Niang, you can continue to sleep." After Bian Che finished speaking softly and coldly, he picked up his clothes and began to put them on.
"Aren't you going to stay with the slave?" Mu Niang and the two Rouyi hugged Bian Che's waist, and kissed Bian Che's shoulder with her delicate lips, as if she wanted to arouse the man's desire again.
Bian Che's eyes were filled with a layer of cold light, and as soon as he grasped Mu Niang's hand stretched out to his crotch, his voice was slow but the words fell like a heavy stone: "Obedient, I'll come to see you another day." ”
As he spoke, he put Mu Niang aside, got up and dressed alone without looking at it again, and left Xueyue Pavilion without any nostalgia. Mu Niang sat down on the bed in disappointment.
Bian Che has had many women, but he has never had the habit of staying overnight with women, which Mu Niang actually knows very well. This time, Bian Che actually fell asleep in the Snow Moon Pavilion afterwards, Mu Niang was pleasantly surprised to think that she had been favored by Bian Che, but she didn't expect that he would choose to leave after waking up. After staying in Fengyue for a long time, Mu Niang always felt that she had become numb, but after meeting Bian Che, she felt that she could also like someone, she had fantasized more than once that she could become a special existence in Bian Che's heart, and she had always believed that Bian Che could take her out of the sea of suffering. But when Mu Niang wanted to kiss Bian Che's lips that night, Bian Che avoided it, and Bian Che hugged her, but never touched her lips, or rather, never kissed any woman like that. Mu Niang understands that Bian Che has always had someone in his heart, and he will only kiss that beloved affectionately. Sadly, Mu Niang didn't know who this woman really was.
How ridiculous, I finally moved my feelings, but the other party didn't love me. Under the faint candle flame, looking at the closed door that may never be opened again, Mu Niangwu thought to herself.
When Bian Che returned to the Jin family's courtyard from the Snow Moon Pavilion, it was already very late, the lights had been turned off in the room next door, and he felt a gaze on the roof, Bian Che looked up, and saw that the white cat was lying on the eaves, and the blue eyes looked at him motionlessly, as if he was waiting for him, and then "meowed", and rushed in through the slightly closed window of Qi Niang's room.
"Snowball, where have you been?" Qi Niang's slightly worried whisper came from the room, as if she was blaming a child who came home late.
It seemed that she was already familiar with the newcomer, and she gave it a name.
Bian Che felt inexplicably settled in his heart, and he stood outside the door until it was completely quiet inside before returning to his room.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed and closed outside, Qi Niang fell asleep again with the kitten in her arms, but she still looked at the direction of the window with her eyes open, not knowing what she was thinking.
When she got up to feed the cat on the second day, Qi Niang found that the snowball was gone. She searched in the yard for a while, but she didn't see the little white thing, so she simply gave up, maybe Snowball had found its owner.
Near noon, in the Fulai Pavilion Restaurant, which was in the bustling area of the city, a gorgeously dressed woman in red walked into a private room on the second floor. This room is located in an excellent location, the window is facing the first largest chamber of commerce in the capital, and you can also see a large peach blossom forest behind the chamber of commerce in the distance, not only has the meaning of attracting wealth and entering the treasure, but also the scenery is unique, the owner of this restaurant wants to come to the restaurant is to spend a lot of thought, so this room is the most expensive one in the Fulai Pavilion. At this moment, a man in black was standing by the window, witnessing with great interest the crowd coming and going downstairs.
Li Qiushuang walked to the man's side with a smile on his face, and just wanted to reach out to hug the man, when he saw something white in the man's hand, he glanced into the man's arms, and then exclaimed in surprise: "Ah! Cat! Then he took a few steps back as if he were dodging the plague, and looked at the cat with disgust.
"Such a cute Persian cat, you hate it so much." Yeluya smiled wickedly, and one hand gently stroked the white cat's fur.
Li Qiushuang scoffed, "You cat hates me, scratch me when you see me, how can you make me like it?" ”
Yeluya raised the cat in front of him, smiled at its blue eyes full of spirituality, and said to Li Qiushuang: "That's because you don't know how to please it, you see how happy it is in the Jin family, isn't it?" ”
The cat barked happily as if in response. Yeluya smiled openly, and her eyes lit up.
Li Qiushuang looked at him with unprecedented excitement, and was a little jealous, she said, "Who is that woman, and the master actually asked you to get close to her?" But I think you're pretty happy. ”
Yeluya was noncommittal, "Of course happy, a prey that likes to fall into the net, who doesn't like it?" ”
What do you mean by that? Do you accept all those who throw their arms on you? So what do you mean to me? Li Qiushuang asked aggressively.
Yeluya was in a very good mood today, and didn't care about the woman's unreasonable trouble, "What kind of jealousy do you eat, she is the prey, and she will be killed in the end." And you are a pet, for pampering. I see that the woman seems to be very interested in the master's affairs, and even the master's former master, Bai Toyoda, has found it, but she seems to have recognized the wrong person and mistaken me for Gao Li, huh...... The days after that were finally not so boring. Yeluya recalled the encounter with Qi Niang that night, and said with some unfinished words.
Li Qiushuang snorted and said angrily: "Don't take it too seriously, be careful of falling into the net!" ”
Yeluya squinted at her and chuckled, "You're thinking too much. How's the Chamber of Commerce's business? ”
"Everything is ready, but Qianjilou's rudder in Windy City is not as vulnerable as Huaiyi's rudder, can the master's plan come true?" Li Qiushuang was a little skeptical.
Yeluya said casually: "What does it matter if it succeeds or not, the master's purpose is not to annihilate the Wind City Helm, but to separate the relationship between Bian Che and the Wind City Helm and the famous ministers." Now the most trusted people around Bian Che are only the three major killers and Yu Mingchen, and as soon as the Huaiyi rudder collapses, that Ye Xiaoliu is useless. Ye Jiu is now in Fang Li, and Hanjiang Pavilion will definitely find an opportunity to hold him back. If something goes wrong with Yu Mingchen at this time, do you think Bian Che will continue to trust him? ”
Li Qiushuang nodded, and then said worriedly: "Then, what about Ye Qiniang?" Didn't Bian Che trust her very much? ”
"Trust? Do you really think so? With a smile, he plucked a red flower from the corner of the wall and put it in the mouth of the little white cat, and then the cat ran out happily with the flower in his mouth.
"If you really trust her so much, you won't ask someone to check the matter of the Wind and Fire Token. Bian Che is sensitive and affectionate, and it is difficult to believe in a person. It's not as simple as you, and any man believes it. In the last sentence, he slowed down his speech, as if he meant something, and then tapped Li Qiushuang's forehead with his finger.
Li Qiushuang was amused by this intimate action, and there was a burst of ecstasy on her bewitching face, and she immediately stuck to Yeluya's arms, and Fang Cai's jealousy was quickly swept away. "Then I will believe no one in the future, but I will believe you. I really don't want you to get close to Ye Qiniang, Ah Ya, you will always like me, right? ”
Yeluya hugged her, the corners of her mouth hooked a deep arc, and her voice was gentle and bewitching, "Of course." But if you look closely, there is nothing soft in his amber eyes, and even a little cold.
In the afternoon, Xueqiu, who had been missing for a long time, returned to the Jin family courtyard by himself, with a flower in his mouth, and went straight to the backyard. Seeing Qi Niang's figure, the kitten ran straight to her, put the flower on the ground, and then called in a low voice.
Qi Niang picked up the flower with a somewhat surprised expression. Then she smiled, picked up the kitten, rubbed the tip of its cool nose, looked into its eyes and said, "Thank you for the flowers." It seems that you will still know the way, and I really want to meet your master. There is still some food in the kitchen, have you eaten it, do you want to eat some more? ”
When Bian Che passed by, he saw from a distance that in the courtyard, Qi Niang was talking to a cat alone, the sun was shining, the shadows of the trees were mottled, the picture looked a little warm, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he didn't notice it.
