Chapter 78: White Shadow in the Fire
After returning from Long Fei, Baili Liang asked Sun Yan about some rules in the gang, and Sun Yan was very patient and told him one by one, incidentally mentioning some interpersonal relationships that need to be paid attention to. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Sixth master, the people of our Hong Gang are all easy to talk to, except for that Zhu Ge, but Zhu Ge has also served you now, and our six halls will definitely be prosperous!"
"The Sixth Hall Master has become the Sixth Master!" Baili Liang couldn't cry or laugh.
"That's not a good idea. Sixth master, I look at you and be angry, I am picking up a good master! ”
Baili Liang let him flatter, just laughed and didn't say anything.
Back in his yard, Baili Liang began to draw, Zhu Ge and they sat in the courtyard and chatted, talking about the killing of the city lord during the day, although it was quiet, Baili Liang could still hear it clearly.
"You Hang, this kid will really let Madame go? He's notoriously filial, I guess...... I want to use our Honggang and clean it up again. Sun Yandao.
"You hang, the scheming is too heavy, and the hiding is deep, it's not impossible!" Zhu Ge said.
"I think Gongzi You is very good, there is a clear distinction between public and private, this matter should be like this." Niu Xin said.
"You, a tall man with a small brain, you think who's a good person when you look good, Brother Niu, it's easy to deceive an honest person like you! Look at You Hang's momentum today, I was suppressed by him, more majestic than our gang leader! But then again, a character like You Hang became the lord of the state, which is a good thing for our Tuzhou City, and it is said that there are heroes in troubled times, and You Hang should be counted as one. Xun Lei said.
"It's too early, after all, he's only just taken office. Shu Luo's subordinates are still a little loyalist, this time Shu Luo's military power was taken away, and his subordinates don't know what kind of demon moths to make! Li Qi said.
"It's not early at all, this You Hang You Gongzi is said to have learned to be rich at the age of ten, and when he was thirteen years old, he began to help the old city lord deal with the affairs of the state, which is considered a good person, plus he and Shu Yuan Shu Han are brothers and brothers, and it is easy to win the military power. Shu Luo's two sons have a closer relationship with You Hang than with their father! But it's no wonder that Shu Luo killed his wife for a concubine back then, and Shu Yuan Shu Han should always hate his father. Zhu Ge said.
"Brother Pigeon, you know everything!" Sun Yandao.
"This is called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and everyone has to guard against it in our business! Xun Lei, how much silver did Shu Luo give you today, but you actually betrayed the hall master, saying that the dagger belonged to the hall master! Zhu Ge suddenly said sharply.
"Wronged...... General Shu forced me with a knife to ask me, can I not say it, what about the silver, my neck has been pulled out of the door by General Shu's knife, so my life is gone! It's not that you don't know that General Shu is greedy for power and money, and there are only those who come in and those who are yellow! ”
……
A few people chatted and gossiped, but Baili Liang didn't listen to it, his mind was full of crossbow mechanisms, and he was not satisfied with more than a dozen pictures, and finally he didn't even notice when the people in the courtyard dispersed, until a bowl of lotus seed porridge was brought to the table, he realized that it was late at night.
"You boiled this porridge?"
Baili Liang thought it was Sun Yan, didn't raise his head, picked up the porridge and stared at the drawings on the case and ate it.
"Originally, I wanted to rob the courtyard of the six hall masters, but when I saw that the six hall masters were working hard, I cooked more lotus seed porridge. Brother of the hall master, does it taste okay? ”
Xu Sleeve stood to the side, with the lancet hanging from his waist, and looked at him arrogantly with his elbows folded.
"It's the little sleeve girl!" Baili Liang was excited, the bowl was not held steady for a while, and some of the soup in it splashed on the drawing, he hurriedly put down the bowl, and couldn't find the rag for a while, so he had to wipe it with his sleeve.
"Here you go!" Xu Sleeve handed over a silk handkerchief in time.
Baili Liang didn't care about it, so he took the silk handkerchief and hurriedly wiped the soup on the drawing.
"What are you excited about, I'm not a female ghost!" Xu Sleeve snorted and picked up a drawing, "The hall master's younger brother is really talented, and he draws well." ”
"The little sleeve girl has won the prize...... Baili Liang didn't finish speaking, a drop of soup on the silk handkerchief dripped onto the drawing, covering the original soup traces, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he shouted, "I see!" Just add two crossbars, overlap but leave a little gap, and you're ready to manoeuvre! ”
"Shocked!" Xu Sleeve was taken aback.
"Little sleeve girl, I'll wash this veil and return it to you, thank you so much."
"Since you have used it, I can't use it again if I want to go back, you throw it away, I won't want it. You don't call me sister, don't call me a little sleeve girl, the elder is not afraid of calling trouble! I heard my uncle say, you are not happy to be his righteous son, and you are even more unwilling to recognize my cousin as a relative, so you can call me Xu Sleeve or Xiao Sleeve. Children of the rivers and lakes, don't come to those who are empty, I will not embarrass you in the future, you do a good job for the uncle, what needs to be served, help Hong, I cannot shirk my definition! It's late, I'm going back, and the six hall masters are resting early! Xu Sleeve said and walked out of the room.
Baili Liang looked at her dressed in white and smiled, this girl really doesn't drag mud and water!
As soon as Xu Sleeve walked into the courtyard, she suddenly saw a fire in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, she yelled bad and ran towards that place.
Baili Liang heard it and rushed out, only to see that Xu Sleeve's white shadow had already gone away, and then he saw a fire not far away, dyeing half of the night sky of Tuzhou City red.
"It's not good, go to the water!" Sun Yan also ran out, "What's the situation, isn't You Hang doing a funeral for his father." ”
"Brother You!" Baili Liang was stunned for a moment, "Let's go, go put out the fire!" ”
Sun Yan originally wanted to say nosy, but when he saw that Baili Liang had already run out, he had to follow.
At the time of half a pillar of incense, Baili Liang and Sun Yan arrived at Youfu, You Linglong and several female dependents supported an old lady who was beating her chest and crying, and You was hanging at the other end and was directing people to extinguish the fire.
"Let me die, I want to die with my son, this rebel grandson, shielding outsiders to harm my son, what am I going to do alive!" The old lady was eighty or ninety years old, and the ghost cried wolf.
"Ancestor, don't think about it, brother, he won't be wrong, ancestor, all the fire you burned is gone, gone...... Woo woo...... "You Linglong cried anxiously and sadly.
Baili Liang didn't look at the excitement and joined the team of transporting water.
After a trip back, seeing the white clothes flashing in the sea of fire, Xu Sleeve rushed out with an old servant in his arms, put it aside, and then rushed in.
"She's dead!" Baili Liang's heart tightened. The wooden pillars and roof beams crackled, and the pillars of fire toppled one after another, and Xu Sleeve shuttled through them, avoiding a pillar of fire, and was almost hit by the pillars of fire that followed.
"It's Hall Master Ding!" You Linglong looked at Baili Liang in a daze, and came over to call him with a sob.
"Well, Linglong, are you okay?"
"It's okay, my home is gone!" You Linglong lowered her head and suddenly raised her head again, "You call me Linglong?" That's what you'll call me from now on. ”
"What's going on?" Baili Liang was still staring at the sea of fire, hoping that Xu Sleeve would come out early.
"The ancestor of my family asked my brother to avenge my father, but my brother disagreed, so the ancestor lit a fire and said that he would die together, and the result was ...... That's it! You Linglong choked.
"Oh." Baili Liang finally saw Xu Sleeve rushing out with a white shadow on his back, but the corner of her white dress was on fire, Baili Liang ran towards Xu Sleeve with a bucket of water in a hurry, and poured the whole bucket of water on Xu Sleeve, extinguishing the fire on her.
The water was very cold, and Xu Sleeve put down the person on his back and couldn't help but shiver.
"The people inside are all dead, and they can't be saved!" Xu Sleeve looked at the sea of fire helplessly, her head and face were full of cool water, and at this time, two crystal tears and those drops of water were dripping down.
"Silly girl, you've done your best." Baili Liang suddenly felt pity, and he took off his coat and draped it over Xu Sleeve's body.
"No need, you can wear it yourself, I'll go back." Xu Sleeve threw the clothes back to Baili Liang, and walked towards the Red Mansion with his arms crossed.
You Linglong on the side looked at all this and smiled lightly.
"Sister Xu is a good person, with a cold face and a warm heart." You Linglong said, "My brother has admired her for a long time, and the two of them have mutual interest, but they ...... My brother is too proud, and Sister Xu is too proud, so that my brother is not married now, and she is not married. ”
"Yes." Baili Liang responded, "The two of them are very compatible." ”
The fire was only extinguished when the sky was clear, and a good big mansion burned in a mess. Fortunately, there are two small ponds in the house, separating the front and back yards, and the front yard is burned and withered, and the back yard has not suffered much damage, and it can still be inhabited.
"Thank you, Sixth Hall Master!" You Hang looked tired, "I'm tired all night, the sixth hall master will go back to rest early." ”
Baili Liang couldn't say comforting words, nodded and went back.
In the study, the bowl of lotus seed porridge on the case is still there, but it has already been cooled, and it is drunk in one go, but the porridge is cold but hot. I washed up again, lay down and wanted to sleep, but I couldn't sleep after turning over and over, and the white figure of Xu Sleeve in the sea of fire had been stuck in Baili Liang's mind, lingering.
A woman disregarded her life and tried her best to save people, so that the five bodies that Baili Liang admired fell to the ground. At the same time, another strange feeling rose in his heart, he was eager to see Xu Sleeve again soon!
Baili Liang jumped out of bed, picked up the bowl of lotus seed porridge in the study, walked out of the courtyard, and froze when he walked to the courtyard again, he didn't know where Xu Sleeve lived!
"Hall Master, what are you?" Niu Xin, who got up early, was about to wash a basin of clothes, and screamed when he met Baili Liang.
"That...... You know...... Which hospital does the eldest lady live in? As soon as Baili Liang finished asking, his face immediately turned red, and he didn't even dare to look at Niu Xin.
"Oh, go over there, there's a moon flower at the gate of the courtyard." Niu Xin said.
Baili Liang nodded, took the bowl and walked happily in the direction pointed by Niu Xin.
"The hall master is so strange, why are you blushing at me!" Niu Xin scratched his head and went to wash his clothes.
Soon Baili Liang saw the Yueji, he walked to the gate of the courtyard and shrank back, wandering whether to go in, what to say when he went in, just said that the bowl was returned, or asked Xu Sleeve if he was injured, or let the bowl go?
Baili Liang was at a loss when a little boy walked over.
"Are you a thief, why are you looking at our house? If you don't leave, I'll call my sister to kill you! The little boy raised his fist and tried to pretend to be fierce.
