Chapter Thirty-Eight: Forty Years Is Unspeakable

The tenth lady looked at Li Yan with a sideways face: "There are three thousand mysteries across the sea, which is enough for you to use for a lifetime, and the red flag is now continuous, and you have this adventure is really blessed by God,"

Li Yan smiled, lowered his head and took away the "Biography of the Bearded Guest" that Mrs. Ten was holding in her hand, and her pupils suddenly moved.

The tenth lady holds the book in her right hand. It has rotted and blackened, and the purple tendons are attached to the finger bones, which is shocking.

Just in a flash, the tenth lady had already withdrawn her palm into her sleeve.

"There's something I have to tell you."

The other palm of the tenth lady was still snow-white and delicate, and she pulled the curtain of her hair, inadvertently avoiding Li Yan's eyes.

Li Yan smiled, but Quan Dang didn't see it: "You say." ”

"I don't know when you'll be back, so...... I handed Chaoyi a letter at the time. I told him that it was a secret passed down by the Red Flag Gang, but there was no such thing. I have something to ask you. ”

……

"Alright."

It only took half a cup of tea to successfully break the fire paint on the envelope. Deftly pull out the letters in it.

Chaoyi walked over, the envelope was very thin to the touch, and Bai Zhantang pinched it out, but it was a palm-square piece of paper, with only two lines of six words on it.

"Buckle Guo Po, kill the tide"

……

"I don't think you need to do that."

Li Yan frowned and drank the wine cup on the table in one gulp.

"Xu Chaoyi is loyal to you."

The tenth lady pillowed her head, revealing a little laziness for no reason. The tone didn't fluctuate at all.

"Yes, he is loyal to me, I know him, I understand that he respects me and obeys me. But I know better, he doesn't obey you, and he doesn't respect you. Gao Li Ghost is the Five Flags Alliance's suppression of Zhang He's demon soldiers, and Cai Lianjin's heritage, I can't take this risk. ”

Li Yan shook his head: "This is not the reason for you to kill him. ”

The tenth lady glanced at her eyes: "Are you unhappy?" I remember you didn't have a good relationship with him. ”

Li Yan poured a full wine cup and looked directly into the eyes of the tenth lady.

"I'm not happy. It's because the reason why you do this, in your bones, is that you think I can't suppress Chaoyi. ”

The tenth lady laughed eatingly, her shoulder leaned on Li Yan, Li Yan blinked and did not move.

"Sometimes I feel like you're a different person. The sword strikes, it is better than that. ”

Li Yan's heart beat like before, and he deliberately diverted the topic: "But you handed him the letter, but I was afraid that he would read it privately, and at that time, I would tear my face, and I wouldn't want to kill him." ”

The tenth lady smiled as before, and the meaning in her eyes was uneasy: "My letter is for you to see, and it is also for him." ”

……

"This ......"

Bai Zhantang took out the paper and put it on the table, consciously taking a few steps back.

Chaoyi picked up this thin piece of paper with both hands and put it in front of the oil lamp to look at it carefully.

For a long time, his body collapsed on the chair with a thud.

He has been out to sea all the year round and has been weathered, and Chaoyi's face is full of cracks and wrinkles, although he is in his forties, he has grown gray hair at the root of his ears, and he looks like he is fifty or sixty years old. He doesn't smile on weekdays, honey and knives are hidden in his heart, he has a daughter when he is old, and the tenth lady has come to ask, and he gave his daughter a milk name, Chaoyi's impression that he laughed once at that time, and besides, there is no more.

Bai Zhantang didn't know where this letter came from, but he could see the three words of killing Chaoyi clearly, and there were not many people in the entire Red Flag Gang who were qualified to speak like this.

He knew that Chaoyi was in a bad mood at this time, so he only retreated to the corner and didn't bother him. Unexpectedly, Chaoyi stood up after a while.

"I'm troublesome Mr. this time, and I ask Mr. to repair the fire paint of this letter. A hundred dollars, and then I will send it to the house,"

"It's a little thing."

Mr. Bai picked up the paper, stuffed it into the envelope along the gap, and then picked up the tools and materials.

During the whole process, Chaoyi quietly stood aside, lit a hookah, and swallowed the clouds.

It took about two cups of tea, and the envelope was as good as ever.

"Brother Chaoyi, since the matter is done, then I won't bother."

Bai Zhantang said.

Unexpectedly, Chaoyi immediately refused: "Mr. can't go." ”

Bai Zhantang raised his head and swallowed a mouthful of saliva before asking in a strong voice, "What does Brother Chaoyi mean by this." Is it to cross the sea and tear down the bridge? ”

Chaoyi stood up and was full of anger, but nodded unabashedly: "I just said clearly, the money, I will send it to the house in a lot, but people, I can't put it back alive." ”

"You!" Bai Zhantang pointed at Chaoyi angrily: "You have to know, the news of my coming here, my wife and children all know, if I go back safely, I should keep my mouth shut." But if I die here, you will break the letter, and everyone will know about it in a few days. ”

The back of his head was full of cold sweat, and his words were clear: "I want to come to Brother Chaoyi to be very busy in the next few days, don't you want to startle the snake?" ”

Chaoyi was stunned, thought for a long time, and lowered his head.

Bai Zhantang just breathed a sigh of relief, Chaoyi suddenly raised his head and pulled the trigger, and the black and heavy bullet with the smell of the sea that filled the entire study penetrated Bai Zhantang's chest.

"Bang~"

Chaoyi pushed away the chair and walked over to Bai Zhantang, who was lying in a pool of blood.

"Mr. Bai, I'm sorry."

Bai Zhantang's mouth kept spitting blood foam, and it took a long time to reluctantly say:

"I, I really don't understand~ I have imitated the account book for the Thirteen Tooth Bank, and poked the letter through the concubine's fornication for the mansion, these people have a reason to kill me, but none of them have done it, I will open the letter for you that someone wants to kill you, but you want to kill me, what is the reason?"

Chao Yi's face was expressionless: "The letter that Madame wants to kill me has spread to the ears of my brothers, and it will damage Madame's reputation." ”

"You, are you crazy, she wants to kill you."

"Yes, it's Madame who wants to kill me, and I don't accept it if Tianbaozai wants to kill me."

Bai Zhantang's face was full of disbelief, and the expression was finally frozen in the gurgling black blood.

Chaoyi probed Bai Zhantang's snort, turned around to get the letter on the table, waved his hand to disperse the smell of ink on it, and the reflection of the candle flame in a pair of gray eyes.

"Madame, I have a heart."

……

In the bedroom, Chaoyi's wife Yang hugged her sleeping daughter, and when a gunshot rang out outside, she shook her body and hugged her daughter in her arms.

For a long time, there was a commotion outside, as well as the sound of mopping the floor and dragging heavy objects, and after a while, Chaoyi pushed the door and walked in. Sit on the edge of the bed and don't say a word.

For a long time, Chaoyi touched his wife's hand.

Yang opened his eyes and said softly: "What's the matter, the master." ”

"Woke you up?"

Chaoyi's voice was much lower than usual.

"No," she said, as she sat up on the bed, "I'll get you some water for your feet." ”

Chaoyi held her down: "No, lie down with you, let's talk." ”

Chaoyi held Yang's hand: "You followed me when you hit sixteen, I didn't even let you wear satin clothes, all these years, I can't stand you." ”

"Back then, what's wrong with you, what did you say?"

“……”

Chaoyi sighed: "It's okay, sleep." ”

He took off his shoes, gently got into the bed, wrapped his arms around his wife and daughter, and slowly closed his eyes, and after a while, there was a slight sound.
