The night was getting dark, and Bian Che was about to go out of the city and return to Qianjilou, but the horse stopped at the city gate, his cold and hard face seemed to hesitate, and then turned the horse's head and went in another direction.

The courtyard of the Jin family was deserted, the lights were off in the corner room, and the people inside should have slept. Bian Che was a little annoyed why he wanted to go back here. He stood in the courtyard for a while, secretly wandering to himself, as if something strange and dangerous was slowly growing in his heart.

"Landlord, why are you standing here?" From the cold courtyard came the sound that had made him uneasy for the past few days.

Bian Che turned around and saw Qi Niang tilting her head slightly and looking at her suspiciously, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Is there something the landlord wants to find me?" Qi Niang broke the strange silence between the two.

"Nope." Bian Che seemed to want to get rid of something, and quickly denied it. At the end, he added, "I'm looking for Sixteen." ”

Qi Niang let out a soft "oh", without any doubts, and said, "Little Sixteen has already slept, do you want to wake her up?" ”

"No need. Tomorrow I will ask her to go back to Qianji Building to find me. After speaking, Bian Che didn't enter the house, and walked straight to the courtyard gate. Passing by Qi Niang's side, I saw that she was wearing a hairpin he gave her on her head, so she stopped.

"Wear it, well, it suits you perfectly."

Under the shadow of the trees blown by the breeze, Bian Che's face was reflected a little softly, and there was some indistinct light beating in his eyes.

"It's so late, what are you doing without sleeping?" I don't know if Qi Niang heard it wrong, but I always feel that Bian Che is much softer than usual tonight.

"The snowball is gone, I'm going to look for it."

"Are you talking about the cat? Don't look for it, if it wants to come back, it will come back sooner or later. Bian Che glanced at Qi Niang, and saw that Qi Niang's eyebrows seemed to be worried, so he said, "If it doesn't come back, if you like it, just buy another one." ”

After Bian Che finished speaking, he walked out.

Thinking of Yu Mingyang's entrustment, Qi Niang asked behind her: "What does the landlord plan to do with Yu Helmsman?" ”

Bian Che turned around, he no longer had the gentleness he had just now, his face seemed to be smiling, and he returned to his usual tone, "Do you still know how to care about others?" Don't ask what you shouldn't. ”

Qi Niang looked at the back of Bian Che's resolute departure, and felt that the warmth that she had never seen from Bian Che at that moment just now must be because the moonlight was too soft, so she would be wrong. How could Bian Che show such an expression to himself? Qi Niang secretly laughed at her self-inflicted amorousness, and couldn't help but smile bitterly when she looked at the ground.

When Bian Che subconsciously looked back, he saw Qi Niang standing in the courtyard with a slight loss, the moonlight stretched her thin shadow very long, the wind stirred the leaves, sprinkled fine silhouettes on her, and the shadow of the tree swayed, as if the next moment it would go with her with the wind. Bian Che suddenly wanted to go back at that moment, but he still left resolutely.

On the roof of the Fu Lai Ge Restaurant, a man is sitting cross-legged on it, holding a white cat in his arms, his fingers petting the kitten's head, the corners of his mouth gently hooked, as if thinking of something happy. But after a while, his gaze suddenly moved to some distant place, and the moonlight shone into his amber pupils, and there seemed to be tears hidden in his eyes, which looked very sad.

"Do you remember her?" In the darkness of the night, the man whispered, not knowing who he was talking to, and no one answered.

The cat seemed to understand the man's words and stared quietly at the man's handsome face. Only when he is alone in the dark night will Yeluya restrain all his evil spirit and publicity, like a child who is lost and crying.

"I miss her so much." The voice sounded again, with a hint of hoarseness.

No one knows who the "she" in Jerry's mouth means.

Bian Che stood in the attic of the Thousand Machine Building, thinking about the same sentence. He held a silver wine glass in his hand, the wine glass was already empty, but he forgot to add more, he looked at the Qianji Tower that was no longer slaughtered under the moonlight, and he was distracted. His mind was filled with a vague figure from his youth, and he reached out into the air, but he didn't touch anything, only a drizzle of rain drifting to the palm of his hand.

Tonight, destined to be a sleepless night.

The first spring rain of the year, drizzling continuously, fell for three days, the sky was gloomy gray, and the soil was also wet. Perhaps because of the influence of the weather, people's mood is like this rainy day, dull, frustrated, with a little bit of longing and unknown expectations. A man stood alone in front of a wordless monument, stunned for a long time. His figure was a little lonely in the green hills, the black suit outlined the man's tall and straight figure, and the rain dripped down the broken hair on his forehead on his sharp chin, and he didn't know how long he stood there. He turned away, picked up the golden mask, and put it on his face, revealing only a pair of sharp amber eyes.

When the sky began to clear, Jiang Qihan took out the prepared antidote, gave it to one of the patients in the villa, and then sat quietly on the side and waited. Half an hour later, the redness and blisters on the patient's face began to fade away. Jiang Qihan relaxed slightly, it seems that this antidote is effective. The leader of the alliance, Xue Qingshan, was overjoyed, so he ordered his subordinates to give medicine to the rest, and then thanked Jiang Qihan again and again.

"This is only the first stage of treatment, the time is rushed, and the antidote is relatively hastily arranged, but fortunately the toxicity can be suppressed. Some follow-up detoxification herbs need to be returned to Hanjiang Pavilion to be distributed, so I have to go back first, and I will have someone send it to the alliance leader after the medicine is dispensed. Jiang Qihan said politely, and then admonished, "If there is any situation here, just ask the Lord of the Xue League to send someone to tell my uncle." ”

"Then there is the Lord of the Laojiang Pavilion." Xue Qingshan bowed his hand again.

Jiang Qihan smiled slightly, then glanced at Fu Xin beside him, and Fu Xin left with him.

"Pavilion Master, are we going back to Hanjiang Pavilion? Or ......," Fu Xin asked.

"Go back to Hanjiang Pavilion, but we'll have to take a long detour." Jiang Qihan stood in the shade of a tree and thought for a while.

Fu Xin's face was puzzled, "Where are you going?" ”

"Strange Flower Valley. After the spring rain, the sea hall chrysanthemum should be the most suitable for medicine. Jiang Qihan said.

"Huh? Why did the pavilion master use this as a medicinal herb? As far as I know, isn't Haitang Ju used to nourish the liver and eyes, and this poison among them doesn't seem to be suitable for this...... There is even a conflict, is there any strange way for the pavilion master? Pavilion master, pavilion master ...... "When it comes to medical problems, Fu Xin changes his usual seriousness and rigidity, and perseveringly asks.

With a happy smile, Jiang Qihan took the lead in stepping into the carriage, lifted the curtain, poked his head out of it, and said, "Who told you that I was going to use Haitang Chrysanthemum to relieve their fire poison?" Okay, don't ask so much, I'll explain to you slowly on the way, get in the car. After speaking, he said to the coachman: "Go to Qihua Valley first, hurry up, there are still people waiting for us in Fangli!" ”

Fu Xin jumped into the carriage and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is waiting for us?" ”

"Of course it's from Qianjilou." Jiang Qihan was still smiling, but there was no temperature in his eyes, and he was even a little cold.

Fu Xin couldn't see through this person, and always felt that every time Jiang Qihan mentioned Qianjilou, he would become very different from usual, but he couldn't say what was different.

A day later, Jiang Qihan's carriage arrived at Fang Li, and Jiang Qihan deliberately let the carriage stop at the back door. Fu Xin was very vigilant all the way, and the knife did not leave his body, for fear that the people from Qianjilou would come to assassinate him, but he did not find anything abnormal along the way.

Jiang Qihan got out of the carriage and said to Fu Xin: "I have an important guest, you go back to the front first." ”

Fu Xin looked around and hesitated, "But you ...... pavilion master."

"It's okay, you also escorted me all the way, I haven't slept well, let's go back and rest first." Jiang Qihan spoke softly, but he couldn't be ignored.

Fu Xin nodded and left.

Jiang Qihan watched Fu Xin walk away, and stood in place for a while before walking to the side path.

The path leads to a back garden, and Jiang Qihan walks very slowly as if admiring spring. After turning a corner and descending the stone steps, Jiang Qihan stopped next to a pond, as if he was contemplating and waiting for someone.

Ye Jiu stared from afar, only to see Jiang Qihan bypassing a rockery, and then disappeared. Ye Jiu hurriedly chased after him, it was not that he had never been here, but when he came, he did not find that there was a mechanism behind the rockery. Now, under the rockery, there is a stone staircase extending downward. Jiang Qihan obviously brought him here on purpose, it was very likely to be a trap of Hanjiang Pavilion, Ye Jiu hesitated for a moment and went down the steps.

For half a month, Ye Jiu had been looking for Lei Dai's traces, but Lei Dai seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no news. He sent someone to inquire as a patient, but he did not hear anything. What Lei Dai did when he came to Hanjiang Pavilion and where he went became a mystery. And under this damp and gloomy step, there seems to be some secret, Jiang Qihan not only did not hide it, but also lured himself over.

After Ye Jiu walked to the cave under the rockery, there was a "boom", and the entrance above was immediately sealed. Ye Jiu frowned and continued to walk forward.

Walking to the end, Ye Jiu stopped, because Lei Dai was in front. He looked at the scene in front of him with some amazement.

Lei Dai was being locked in a big cage, with a long anklet on one foot, staring at Ye Jiu fiercely, seeing him approaching, Lei Dai rushed to the edge of the cage like a beast and danced his teeth and claws at him, as if he was about to break out of the cage. In just a few months, Lei Dai turned out to be like this.

The cage is almost complete, with beds, tables and chairs, and a bathtub...... They were all of the best materials, and if it weren't for the fact that Lei Dai was in a cage at the moment, he felt that this place was no different from a room.

"You're surprised, aren't you?" At this moment, a warm voice sounded in the secret room.

Ye Jiu looked towards the sound and saw Jiang Qihan walking out of the darkness with a lamp in his hand. His eyes, glittering in the light, shimmered with an unknown light.

Ye Jiu stared slightly, glanced at Lei Dai in the cage, and asked, "What's the matter with Lei Dai?" ”

"As you can see, Ray is crazy." Jiang Qihan stated unusually calmly.

"Crazy?" Ye Jiu raised his eyebrows.

"Lei Dai has suffered from a strange disease, and now when he sees a living person, he will pounce on him like a beast and hurt people, so I can only lock him in a cage for the time being, so as not to accidentally injure the young man."

Ye Jiu snorted, "Then I have to thank you for thinking about me." Pavilion Master Jiang brought me here, didn't he just tell me that Lei Dai was crazy. ”

Jiang Qihan smiled and said: "I don't mean anything else, didn't Ye Shaoxia want to know the news of Lei Dai, I brought you in, I just didn't want Shaoxia to return in vain." However, not many people know about this matter now, after all, Lei Dai's crazy thing is not good for everyone to know, so now Hanjiang Pavilion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are blocking this news. ”

"What's wrong with him?"

A gust of wind blew, and the fire in Jiang Qihan's eyes jumped, "An extremely rare illusion, I think Ye Shaoxia should know something." As early as two years ago, Jin Da Dang of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce also suffered from an illness, and her symptoms at that time were actually no different from Lei Dai's symptoms, she would often dream and have conjectures during the day. It's just that at that time, Jin Dae's illness was only in the early stages, and I cured her with medicine. And Lei Dai's illness dragged on for a long time, until he began to hurt people, and I took him back to Hanjiang Pavilion for treatment, only to know that his illness could not be saved, so I could only wait for death like this. Now, he doesn't even recognize anyone. When Jiang Qihan said the words "waiting for death", he did not have the slightest mercy, and his eyes were cold.

Ye Jiu looked at the people in the cage, his expression changing instantly.

"Will you kill the dying man?" Jiang Qihan asked.

Ye Jiu looked at Jiang Qihan again, "How could you get such an illness?" ”

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, they have eaten a poisonous fruit, which only grows in the Western Regions." After speaking, Jiang Qihan seemed to smile, "But you know that this is useless." With that, he walked to the corner and pressed a switch.

Suddenly, the iron door of the cage and the lock on Lei Dai's anklet opened at the same time. The fire in Jiang Qihan's eyes flickered brightly and dimly, and the next moment, the stone gate above his head fell with a bang. In the cave, only Ye Jiu and Lei Dai, who had turned into a beast, were left.
