Chapter 2: Faces

Hanjiang Pavilion is a place in Jiangbei to hang the pot to help the world as its own responsibility, the doctors in it have superb medical skills, and many of them have unique skills, and they are quite prestigious in the rivers and lakes. Originally, in addition to treating diseases and saving people, Hanjiang Pavilion had almost no quarrel with the world, but since the death of the previous pavilion master, Hanjiang Pavilion has often intervened in martial arts affairs, and has become a fierce rival with Qianjilou, who seeks huge profits by assassination, and has been fighting openly and secretly for nearly three years. The current pavilion master of Hanjiang Pavilion, Jiang Qihan, the first in the world of medical skills, but he was born with a strange illness and could not practice martial arts, but the masters around him are like clouds, and there are many organs in the pavilion, Bian Che once tried to sneak into Hanjiang Pavilion to assassinate him, but they all ended in failure. Hanjiang Pavilion has become a thorn in Bian Che's heart, and if he doesn't pull it out for a day, he won't be at peace for a day. However, Jiang Qihan seems to be very loyal to playing a game of hide and seek with Bian Che, and never shows up in the rivers and lakes.

It turned out that this mission was hindered by the Hanjiang Pavilion, no wonder Bian Che would go out in person. It's just that I don't know if Hanjiang Pavilion has anything to do with this court. It only took Bian Che a year to wipe out the Red Lotus Castle that covered the sky with one hand, and now Qianjilou is dominating the rivers and lakes, Bian Che can be said to be turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands for rain, as long as anyone spends money to buy his life, no matter who the other party is, Bian Che will never be soft-hearted. The existence of Qianjilou posed a serious threat to some officials of the imperial court, and they wrote to clear Qianjilou, but in vain. It's just because the whereabouts of the killer in Qianjilou are secretive, and the methods of killing are all assassinations, so even if someone wants to take revenge, they don't know who to look for. And this mission, Qianjilou acted even more cautiously, but it also leaked the rumors, so that Hanjiang Pavilion was targeted.

Qi Niang stood in the corridor on the second floor of the Snow Moon Pavilion, looking down at the light song and dance downstairs, as well as Bian Che who was snuggled by Mu Niang. In other words, Qi Niang's gaze never left that man, and the light on Bian Che's body was too dazzling for her to ignore. As if he had a heart in his heart, Bian Che suddenly looked in the direction of Qi Niang, Qi Niang hurriedly shifted her gaze weakly, but looked at a pair of smiling eyes on the opposite side of the second floor.

The man was dressed in blue, well-dressed, handsome, but a little thin, with a spring breeze in his eyes, and was smiling at her gently. In this kind of place, there are people who are as elegant as the wind.

Qi Niang looked at the man opposite suspiciously, and then saw a little guy looking like a person whispering in the man's ear, the boy nodded, and went back to the seat. Qi Niang's mind turned back downstairs, but Bian Che was no longer there, and she didn't know where she went.

Tonight is the day of the dinner, Qi Niang finished dressing up in the Snow Moon Pavilion early, her face in the mirror is like a peach and plum, cold and beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes exude a trace of exotic style, and the little maid who dresses her can't help but exclaim: "Girl, you look so beautiful!"

Qi Niang pursed her lips slightly and said thank you. She looked at herself in the mirror, but she became nervous for no reason, not because she was afraid that the mission would fail, but because she inexplicably felt that something would happen tonight, and that intense uneasiness made her uneasy. Subconsciously looking for the jade pendant on her body, but found that the jade pendant was no longer around, her heart was empty, remembering that she didn't seem to see its shadow these days, and she usually didn't pay much attention to it, but now she thought of it and disappeared.

When the maidservant saw that her expression was different, she asked, "What are you looking for, girl?"

"Did you see my sachet?"

The maid looked left and right, shook her head, and said, "No."

Qi Niang's heart sank. When did the jade pendant be lost, she didn't even notice it.

"Is that sachet important, girl?"

Qi Niang looked up at her and said, "No, it's not that important, it's just that there is something sent by a friend inside, and it's just that it's gone."

Although she said this, Qi Niang couldn't calm down. She didn't expect that the jade pendant given by Yu had become a reassuring pill for her over the years.

"Girl, are you dressed? Dressed up, the second young man is waiting for you over there. At this time, someone outside the door came to urge.

Qi Niang regrouped her emotions and said, "It's over now."

When she came to an accomodation, the maidservant knocked on the door, and then she heard a lukewarm voice from inside: "Come in."

As soon as Qi Niang entered, she saw Mu Niang sitting next to Bian Che making tea. Hearing someone coming in, Bian Che raised his head and took a look, and when he saw Qi Niang's dress, his brows seemed to move slightly.

"Sit down." The imperceptible stunning color only flashed, and Bian Che lowered his eyebrows to cover the waves under his eyes.

Mu Niang stared at Qi Niang with hostility, as if she was afraid that the people around her would be snatched away by Qi Niang.

"Mu Niang, go and prepare, it's time for you to appear." Bian Che said.

Mu Niang glared at Qi Niang unwillingly, then glanced at her sweetheart again, and left angrily.

Qi Niang couldn't understand this woman's inexplicable hostility at all, and she didn't bother to deal with it, looking at the beautiful dagger pushed over by Bian Che, half thinking about the task and half thinking about the jade pendant.

"Remember to put on the veil when you go out." Bian Che's voice sounded as indifferently as ever.

Qi Niang said "um", and her absent-minded reaction made Bian Che frown, and said coldly: "If you don't want to take on this task, I'll call Eleven to do it, don't let my plan go wrong!"

"No, I'm going to get the job done." Qi Niang hurriedly put away the dagger.

Bian Che stared at her for a long time, as if looking at her makeup, and said, "Wait for the person who answers, and then you go out."

After Bian Che left, Qi Niang regretted the loss of consciousness just now, and the killer was the most jealous of having distractions, which was a very terrible thing for himself who was always in danger, and he must not be distracted by such a trivial matter in the future.

The downstairs gradually became full of people, and the people of the banquet arrived one after another, singing and dancing, staggered cups, smiling and laughing, even in the room, you can feel the singing and dancing downstairs. Qi Niang hid the dagger in her cuff, then took care of her makeup in front of the mirror, and then sat and waited for the person to answer.

There was a knock on the door three times, and at the same time as Qi Niang's estimate, she walked to the door and said a secret word: "But my wine is here?" ”

"Yes girl, this is the new wine of the year." The man outside the door replied word for word.

The door creaked, and outside the door stood a peach-cheeked and apricot-faced beauty, holding a pot of wine and two wine glasses in her hand.

Qi Niang said: "Put it on the table." With that, she veiled herself and walked out.

The guests downstairs were drinking and talking, Qi Niang glanced at the people present at the staircase, and saw Bian Che directly opposite, separated by a few tables, it was the elegant man I met upstairs today. The top seat is the host of this banquet, and the target of this mission, Lei Dai. There was a man dressed in alien costume sitting in the elegant seat next to Lei Dai, and next to that man, there was also a man with a long figure, a brocade robe and a black robe, and his long hair was slightly curly, because his back was facing away, I don't know what it looked like.

Bian Che raised his head and glanced at Mu Niang beside Lei Dai, and Mu Niang beckoned Qi Niang to come down.

"General Yelu, this is Qi Niang who just played the piano. Qi Niang, why don't you come over and meet General Yelu. ”

Qi Niang clasped her hands in front of her according to what she had learned before, Ying Ying walked over, and everyone present looked at her, and she bowed to the table of VIPs.

"The little girl meets the general." After finishing speaking, she looked up at the table of guests, her eyes moving slightly, and the person standing next to Ye Luxin was also probing her with a pair of jewel-like cold and penetrating amber eyes. The moment their eyes met, Qi Niang's heart trembled violently as if she had been hit by something, and the whole person was stunned.

The man's eyes were deep, his facial features were hard, his contours were distinct, and he looked like an exotic, but Qi Niang felt that she had seen that face somewhere, so familiar.

"Qi Niang, why are you stunned? The general is asking you! Mu Niang's slightly reproachful words made Qi Niang come back to her senses instantly, and she looked at Ye Luxin a little blankly.

Ye Luxin was not angry, looked at Qi Niang with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I heard that Xiao Qi girl is also half of the Western Regions?" ”

Qi Niang replied, "Yes, general." ”

"So very good, so very good, then we are also fate, can you please take off the veil and let me take a look?" Ye Luxin went straight to the point and did not hide his preference for beautiful women at all.

Qi Niang stretched out her hand to take off the white veil on her face, and suddenly a peach blossom jade face appeared in front of everyone, Ye Lu Xin smiled, and hurriedly asked Qi Niang to sit next to him, her face full of coveting. Qi Niang's heart was extremely disgusted, but her smile became more and more bright, which made Ye Luxin full of joy, a few glasses of wine to feed her stomach, and the man's thick big hand had already wrapped around Qi Niang's waist.

Qi Niang's face was cold, her fists were clenched, and a trace of anger had already burst out in her eyes, as if she was about to explode in the next moment. Bian Che swept her coldly, Qi Niang took a deep breath, and the little bird snuggled into Ye Lu Xin's arms, and said coquettishly: "General, Qi Niang doesn't drink well, she is a little dizzy, and she wants to rest." Then he leaned closer to Ye Luxin's ear and whispered: "Qi Niang is waiting for you in the room, don't let Qi Niang wait too long." ”

Seeing that Qi Niang was so active, Ye Lu Xin couldn't help but feel a big heart, and after Qi Niang left, she didn't have the heart to stay at the banquet, and she was polite to Lei Dai, so she left the banquet with the people around her.

A room on the second floor was the quietest room in the Snow Moon Pavilion, and it was almost impossible to hear any sound outside, and the room was burned with unknown Western Regions spices, which made people's blood boil. Qi Niang's mood rose and fell with the flickering candlelight, and she was waiting. The palms of her hands were already sweating from her grip, and she was not so nervous about any mission, this inexplicable uneasiness had not been passed for many years. Qi Niang seems to have returned to that night nine years ago, and she was also in the same gorgeous room, and she was also numbly waiting for the arrangement of fate like this.

I don't know how long I waited, the door was pushed open, Qi Niang's nerves tensed instantly, she immediately picked up a glass of wine on the table and got up to welcome out, but the light was dark at this time, and it was dark in front of her. The bead curtain was lifted, the wine glass was knocked to the ground, and Qi Niang fell into an embrace, with a masculine, cold breath, and an unusually strong arm pushed her to the side of the bed. The killer's keen intuition made Qi Niang instantly realize that this person was not Ye Luxin, she took out a dagger from her cuff, and stabbed the person in the neck without hesitation, but was knocked off by the other party. The two of them fought with their bare hands in the dark, whether it was speed or agility, that person was slightly better than Qi Niang, Qi Niang turned around, flew up and kicked at the incense burner, and reached out to grab a candle by the candlestick and lit it.

Her eyes lit up again, and Qi Niang's eyes widened. That person turned out to be the man next to Ye Luxin, and he hesitated for a while, and Qi Niang was forced to the corner of the bed by that person.

"Who are you?" stopped the attack, and the overwhelming defense made Qi Niang's breath slightly chaotic.

"You don't need to know, are you trying to lust/seduce my stepfather?" With a cold and mocking smile in the man's voice, he knocked the candle in Qi Niang's hand to the ground, and clasped Qi Niang's hands behind his back, clinging to her body ambiguously, "The people of Qianjilou, but Er'er, Bian Che didn't tell you that the killer can't be distracted?" ”

Qi Niang was firmly shackled by him, struggled a few times, turned her head and said: "Your skills are good, your accent is not like a person from the Western Regions, but like a person from the Central Plains, you didn't grow up in the Western Regions, right?" ”

The man raised his eyebrows with interest, "What are you asking for?" ”

"Just tell me." Qi Niang suddenly exclaimed, her hands were cut behind the man's back, and then the man was pressed down on the bed from behind.

"Why tell you?" As if he had caught prey, the man unceremoniously rode on Qi Niang's lap, one big hand grabbed Qi Niang's weak wrist, and the other hand was about to pick up her clothes. "Bian Che really doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade as the legend, such a beautiful beauty has to be sent to someone else's bed, it's a pity to kill you."

Qi Niang was shocked and turned over to break free, but was once again subdued by the man from the front. She stared at those devilish eyes, and asked unwillingly, "Are you 22 years old this year?" Do you have any other relatives? ”

The man was impatient with her question, and frowned and said, "Why do you have so many questions as a woman?" Saying that, he leaned down to kiss her, Qi Niang hurriedly turned her face away, and her wine-scented lips were printed on her hair.

The man evoked an evil smile, reached out and grabbed Qi Niang's collar, only to hear a "hiss", Qi Niang's clothes were torn by the man, and suddenly the jade body with only her belly pocket was exposed to the air. Seeing that the man was about to kiss him, suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the man suddenly jumped away from Qi Niang. Qi Niang sat up with the blanket in shock, and saw that Bian Che was fighting with the man with a cold face.

Bian Che's martial arts Qi Niang has seen it, this person is more terrifying than the devil who came out of the Shura field, one move is treacherous and ruthless, fast as lightning, when he is in a good mood, he will make a few moves against his opponent, and when he is in a bad mood, he will kill him. This time, Bian Che seemed to be very unpleasant, and as soon as he came, he was ruthless, and the foreign man was hit in the chest by his sharp palm wind and forced to retreat to the corner. Bian Che took advantage of the situation to attack again, but it turned out to be a cold palm, and it seemed that he was going to kill the man.

"Be careful!" Qi Niang blurted out.

The foreign man and Bian Che were both stunned, and when Bian Che was stunned, the foreign man threw a dart at Bian Che, and then turned over and jumped out of the window.

Bian Che took the dart with two fingers, and his handsome face was terrifyingly cold.

"It seems that I came at the wrong time, and I ruined Qi Niang's good deeds, right?" Bian Che stared at the person on the bed sneeringly.

Qi Niang's face was pale, and she had no intention of arguing, "Qi Niang knows her mistakes, the landlord can punish her, Qi Niang has nothing to say." ”

"Nothing to say?" Bian Che's eyes were like arrows, and his tone was like ice, "Did I say that if anything goes wrong in the mission, what kind of punishment will there be?" ”

Qi Niang lowered her head and said word by word: "If you make a mistake, you will go to the Jiuzhang machine to receive your own punishment." If he is unfaithful, he will cut off his own meridians. ”

Bian Che snorted coldly, "I remember it quite clearly, let me ask you, why do you want to help him?" ”

Qi Niang clutched the quilt tightly and didn't speak, and she didn't know why she wanted to help that man, was it just because of a familiar face, it was too ridiculous.

"You don't want to say, okay, then go to the nine machines yourself to get the penalty." Bian Che coldly dropped a sentence and walked away.
