It was a place of great wealth and luxury with high walls, and only the nobles and nobles of Kyoto were entitled to live in such a large and independent house.

This place, Qi Mo has long been familiar with the road.

Without alarming anyone, the ghostly figure came to one of the courtyards silently.

A man dressed in brocade and who looked to be less than forty years old was sitting in a pavilion, leisurely sipping tea.

The man is strong and burly, with a pair of slender eyes, although the overall facial features look very upright, but the overall image is ruined by these eyes, and it always gives people the impression of a sinister and cunning villain.

In fact, this man is indeed a big villain.

Luo Changwei, a left-wing general with power in Canglan, is one of the emperor's most trusted confidants and has a decisive influence in Canglan.

For so many years, it was the first time that Qi Mo had come to this place during the day.

The General's Mansion is heavily guarded, and the defensive force is like a powerful copper wall, and ordinary people can't get in at all, that is, he, can come and go so effortlessly.

Luo Changwei didn't seem surprised by his arrival at all, but instead took a new cup, poured a cup of tea out, and pushed it to the opposite side: "Sit down." ”

Qi Mo's eyes shone slightly, and he slowly sat down on the stone bench opposite.

"General, I'm ......"

"Don't worry." Luo Changwei interrupted him with a smile and stretched out his hand to signal, "This is a good tea from a foreign tribute, how about tasting it?" ”

Qi Mo paused, then reached out and picked up the teacup, and was about to drink it all, but as soon as he tasted a little bit in his mouth, his eyes widened in astonishment.

The smell of rust on the face makes people feel sick to their stomachs.

The tea leaves in the cup are light brown in color, and when they are soaked in hot water, they take on a faint red color.

Qi Mo put down the cup and stared at the tea leaves inside: "What kind of tea is this?" His expression was a little ugly, and the fingers holding the cup tightened slightly, faintly white.

Seeing this, Luo Changwei couldn't help laughing: "The name of this tea is Blood Red Bamboo, and there is a bloody smell at the beginning, which is unbearable, so few people can appreciate its uniqueness, but when the smell dissipates, it is full of fresh bamboo fragrance, can you take another sip and try it?" ”

Although he didn't know why he kept letting himself drink this strange-tasting tea, thinking of the purpose of his coming here, Qi Mo had no choice but to take another sip.

Sure enough, as he said, the unbearable smell of rust was gone, and only the unique aroma of tea remained.

After drinking tea, Qi Mo continued to speak, ready to say what he hadn't finished before, but Luo Changwei laughed and said what he wanted to say before him: "You want to terminate the contract with me?" ”

Qi Mo was stunned for a moment, not understanding how he could know his intentions.

Back then, it was Luo Changwei who took the initiative to find himself and used a peerless and rare nine-colored butterfly in his hand as a bargaining chip.

Every year, he will promise to give him a petal, and the price is that he must complete the task he assigned within the time limit, otherwise the nine-colored butterfly will be hard to find after the flowering period.

He was already a demon without a soul, so what was the difference between doing one more bad thing and doing one less bad thing?

So he agreed to Luo Changwei's conditions and signed a nine-year deed of sale with him, no matter how much the task he gave him was to destroy his conscience and humanity, he could do it, because a person like him had nothing to fear him.

There is only one person who wants to do everything he can to keep her alive, no matter what the cost.

Seeing that he was silent, Luo Changwei's smile deepened a little, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes faintly appeared: "Have you thought clearly?" When you signed the contract, you said that if you broke the contract before the deadline expired, you would leave me a hand. ”

Hearing this, Qi Mo did not hesitate or fear at all, his eyes looked at him firmly and said: "I can give you both my hands, if you want, I can give this life, I only hope that you can give me the remaining two nine-colored butterflies!" ”

His hands on the table were clenched tightly, his nerves tense, as if he was afraid to hear the words of rejection.

Luo Changwei smiled and patted his hand, his expression was very harmless: "You have been with me for so many years, you have always been able to do things, very good, I always remember the old love, naturally I will not be too cruel to you, your hands, your life, I don't want it." ”

Is Luo Changwei a magnanimous, self-sacrificing person who is willing to suffer losses?

Of course not.

The most terrifying person in Canglan Country is not the Son of Heaven, but the left-wing general Luo Changwei. Nine peaches

He has countless minions, many of the world's best masters work for him, he has ambition, ability, means, and is better at how to firmly control people's hearts.

If you offend him, you will be played to death step by step.

What he loves most is how to drive a normal person to the brink of collapse and madness, watching him die in fear and despair.

So Qi Mo didn't plan to get a bargain from him at all.

He didn't want his own life, he must have other intentions.

Sure enough, he spoke: "Recently, there is a person in Canglan Country who interests me very much, you go and bring people here for me, and I will set you free, and I will give you the remaining two petals of the nine-colored butterfly, how about it?" ”

Qi Mo was a little surprised when he heard him say this, because it was the first time he had heard this man say who to bring back.

Because in previous years, he directly let himself take the other party's life, and he never kept his mouth alive.

Qi Mo couldn't help but start wondering who this person could make Luo Changwei change his usual style.

It's just that no matter who the other party is, as long as he can get the nine-colored butterfly, he must bring the person back.

＊＊

On the other side, Ye Leng'er and Meow Meow just came out of the dim sum shop, the little girl was holding a paper bag in one hand and a soft white snow ball in the other, opened her mouth wide and took a bite, and her cute little face showed an extremely satisfied smile.

"It's delicious!" Meow Meow was very happy, her big eyes were bent, and then she opened her mouth and took a big bite.

Ye Leng'er couldn't help but smile and touched her head and said, "Look at your greedy appearance, is your brother Mo so stingy and never buys you delicious food?" ”

Meow Meow swallowed the glutinous rice balls in her mouth, shook her head vigorously, and never forgot to say good things for Qi Mo: "Brother Mo is not stingy, because Meow Meow is too greedy, he used to eat too many sweets, and his teeth were broken, so he rarely let me eat outside things." ”

Speaking of this, she paused, and said: "But he is very good to me, in order to give me a little taste in my mouth, he also specially learned how to make lollipops from the old uncle of the candy seller, which is made of pure natural flower petals and sweet wine, which tastes sweet and sweet, and will not let me eat bad teeth." ”

When the girl talked about these things, her eyebrows fluttered, happy and sweet, Ye Leng'er could feel from her words that Qi Mo was really attentive to her.

But she was more curious: "You two look more like brother and sister, why are you together?" ”

Probably everyone who has seen them will have this question, but Ye Leng'er is the first one who really asks.

Meow Meow looked at her and grinned: "Actually, I'm not a young girl like you see, it's just that this body doesn't grow big, maybe I'm much older than you!" ”

Meow Meow has never mentioned this matter to others, probably because she really likes Ye Leng'er, so she confided in her the truth, but I don't know if she will be scared when she hears it.

However, how would she know that the young girl in front of her was actually a fox demon who had lived for more than 700 years?

Jun Yan had already told Ye Leng'er about her judgment of Meow Meow before, and she already knew it in her heart, so she was not very surprised, but she didn't expect her to tell herself this secret that was unknown and very private.

It was as if she had found a listener, slowly telling the story she had buried in her heart for a long time.

"When Brother Mo and I first met, he was still a thief that everyone shouted at, and I was a sick man who couldn't even walk, and I didn't live long, and I was abandoned by my family on the side of the road."

is obviously a carefree and innocent little girl, but at the moment her eyes are full of gloom, and there are frost flowers flashing under her eyes.

"An old couple without children picked me up, because I was in too poor health, the soup was constant, and the family couldn't afford it, and after a while, they left me ruthlessly, I staggered up and wanted to walk back, but I was physically exhausted and fell to the ground, broke my bones, and became a complete waste."

With that, the girl lowered her eyes, raised her hand and gently wiped the corners of her reddish eyes, trying to keep smiling.

"I was only four years old at that time, but I seemed to have finished my life, and tasted all the pain of the world, and I lay on the mountains in the wilderness, unable to move, unable to speak, calling the heavens and the earth to be incompetent, and when I was hungry I ate the grass and the soil by my mouth, and when I was thirsty, I drank the dew on the blades of grass in the morning, and tried to live.

Probably because God saw me as too pitiful, and finally heard my heart, and it was at that time that Brother Mo was sent to me.

He was full of embarrassment, avoiding the pursuit of others, and before he knew it, he ran into the mountains and forests, got lost, and then saw me, and saw me working so hard to live, probably because of the same disease, we were all the same miserable, he carried me home, used the stolen money to buy me medicine, found a doctor, and helped me take care of my body.

Later, unconsciously, we lived together, he was still a street gangster who was abducted and abducted, and I don't know how long it took like this, until one time, I suddenly coughed up a lot of blood, and I was drained of all my strength at once, unconscious, and the doctor said, I can't survive for half a month.

That day, I opened my eyes in a daze and saw Brother Mo cowering in the corner, sitting there crying secretly, it was the first time I saw him cry in a long time. ”
