098 Self-defeating
On a small square table next to the stove, two porcelain bowls, one large and one small, are full of wontons.
The heat was rising, Zhu Zhu picked up a vinegar bottle on the table and dropped a few drops of vinegar into his bowl, and put the bottle in front of Ye Haotian, who was wearing a new cotton jacket, then lowered his head and scooped a wonton with a small wooden spoon, blew lightly a few breaths, and carefully put it to his mouth and took a bite.
After taking a bath, Ye Haotian touched the brand-new jacket like a child, and exclaimed: "The new jacket is still comfortable to wear." ”
Zhuzhu glanced at Ye Haotian and said, "Eat first, and go to bed after eating." ”
"En. ”
Ye Haotian agreed repeatedly, he looked at Zhuzhu's somewhat pale face, and said, "Have you taken the medicine?"
"Yes. ”
"Haven't you slept all night?"
"Yes. ”
"Didn't I have someone to send you a letter? What are you worried about?"
Zhuzhu raised her head, put the spoon containing half a wonton back into the bowl, and said with a serious face: "I can't sleep." ”
Ye Haotian paused for a moment, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Eat." ”
Zhuzhu looked at Ye Haotian and did not speak.
Ye Haotian took a deep breath, looked at the steaming wontons on the table, and said, "Let's talk about it after eating, okay?"
Zhuzhu hesitated, slowly lowered her head, picked up the small spoon again, and put the remaining half of the wonton in her mouth.
In the room, only the sound of swallowing was spurred and slow.
......
......
The warm sunlight shines through the window on the pot top, and the light in the room becomes brighter and brighter.
Zhuzhu sat at the table, looking at Ye Haotian opposite, with only a layer of soup left in the porcelain bowl in front of him.
“...... That's what happened. ”
After telling everything that happened last night as it was, a deep pain appeared in Ye Haotian's eyes.
"After the catastrophe on the island, I thought that no one would make me sad again, but what happened last night was so unexpected. Chen Cripple turned out to be the embarrassment of the demon clan, Liu Datou also died, and Xu Heihu also had true feelings for Mei Niang...... Now that I think about it, I really miss the days on the island, but that's in the past. ”
"We're alive. Zhu Zhu interrupted Ye Haotian's emotion, and whispered: "The residual poison in my body has been controlled, aren't you going to Anyang City? Let's go tomorrow." As long as you are careful, I believe that no one will detect the identity of you and me, and there are few cultivators above the Seven Realms in the Great Xia Kingdom. ”
Ye Haotian was stunned and shook his head gently.
"No, I can't go yet. ”
"Why?" Zhuzhu looked at Ye Haotian suspiciously, "Didn't you say that you would leave after killing Sun Kaishan?"
"Now I'm afraid I'll have to wait a few more days. ”
"Because...... Cripple Chen?"
Ye Haotian nodded, "I promised Xu Heihu to give him an explanation." Besides, Liu Datou was killed by my own hands, he has a wife and children, and he must settle down. If I don't catch Chen Cripple, I won't be at ease in my life, he will have to die. ”
"But he is Zhao Laoxi's person, and you can't enter Beicheng at all. ”
Ye Haotian snorted coldly and said, "I can wait for him to come out of the hole." Something as important as the Luohe Books, he would never dare to stay in the city for too long, not to mention, I have already let out the rumors, and all the forces and cultivators in the city have now gathered in the northern city. I dare to say that within five days, Zhao Laoxie will definitely leave the city. ”
"Even if he comes out, with your current strength, you can't beat him, don't forget, he is likely to be a demon clan, and the Zhao Mansion still has a group of powerful subordinates. Zhuzhu worried.
"I know, so, I'm going to find that woman now, I must get that thing before he goes out of the city, only then can I kill Zhao Laoxi. With that, Ye Haotian stood up.
......
......
Xu Heihu lay on the bed, tears rolling down the corners of his eyes and onto the pillow.
This is Mei Niang's room.
Since he met Mei Niang half a year ago, he has fallen in love with this woman deeply, even if he learned from Ye Haotian's mouth that she approached him with other intentions, he still poured all his feelings into her with a fluke mentality.
It turned out that Ye Haotian's guess was right.
But the results were somewhat unexpected.
Because of his deep affection, Xu Heihu had no hatred for Mei Niang, otherwise, he would not let the soldiers show mercy outside Ye Haotian's small courtyard.
If it weren't for his temporary soft-heartedness, Mei Niang would not have been able to escape, and she would not have been humiliated to death by Chen Cripple, thinking of the pain and torture she suffered, Xu Heihu's heart was broken.
Mei Niang's confession and true feelings before her death made this iron-blooded man feel a sense of guilt.
He felt that Mei Niang's death was not worth it.
Because, only he knows that the stolen "Luohe Book" is fake!
For the sake of a fake cheatbook, Mei Niang took her life, which is of course sad, but it is a good thing for the entire Great Xia Kingdom to dig out the demon clan spy Chen Cripple, and draw out Zhao Laoxie behind him and even the greater demon clan forces.
Thinking about Zhao Laoxie's expression after discovering the truth of the fake cheats, a mixture of hatred and hatred gradually appeared in Xu Heihu's eyes.
......
......
"I admire you. ”
Walking on the stone path leading to the cell, looking at Ye Haotian's back in front of him, Xu Heihu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"What do you mean?" Ye Haotian turned his head to look at him and slowed down slightly.
"With this fake cheats, I dug up a big secret of the demon clan. ”
Ye Haotian stopped, looked at Xu Heihu, and said seriously: "Who told you that the stolen "Luohe Books" is fake?"
Xu Heihu paused for a moment, "You...... What do you mean?"
"I mean, Luohe Books, it's really lost. Ye Haotian said in a deep voice.
"How is that possible!" Xu Heihu almost jumped up, "Everything is going according to plan, didn't you say foolproof?"
"You showed up too 'just in time'. ”
Sighing, Ye Haotian said slowly: "From the time I killed Sun Kaishan, to the time I entered the prison cell, and then I was escorted out of the city, do I have time to replace him? Besides, who would have thought that you didn't catch Mei Niang, who would have thought that Chen Cripple would be a demon clan? This may be the will of heaven." You don't want to think about it, the news that "Luohe Books" fell into the hands of Zhao Laoxie has been released for most of the night, if it is fake, he will definitely not be framed calmly, and there has been no movement until now......"
Speaking of this, Ye Haotian stopped.
"Really, lost?" Xu Heihu still couldn't believe his ears, he didn't expect that the Tianji Gate top imperial costume production cheat "Luohe Book", which was enough to make all the cultivators in the world crazy, was really stolen.
"It's a shame. Ye Haotian nodded and said, "Otherwise, can I go to see that woman in such a hurry?" Let's go, as long as I get what I want, there is still hope of getting it back." ”
