Chapter 27: Life hangs by a thread
Ugly? Gu Liancheng actually scolded me for being ugly?
Bai Fan was angry, and turned around and asked Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, do you say I'm ugly?" ”
Xiaohua pointed to the small dimples on her face and smiled and said, "Not ugly, you are my little angel!" ”
Jiang He shook the folding fan and sneered: "Heh, it's almost like!" ”
"You ......"
Bai Fan patted the table and stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think that if you are my uncle, I won't dare to beat you?" ”
"You still want to beat me up with your three-legged cat kung fu?"
Gu Liancheng sighed lightly and said, "You won't be able to win against me in my lifetime!" ”
"Look at me if I beat you!"
After speaking, Bai Fan rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was going to fight, but his heart was very empty, and he prayed vigorously: Xiaohua Lin Yu, you give me some strength, you must hold me!
"I can't help it!" Xiaohua hurriedly grabbed her arm, "He is an elder, you are a junior, you must respect the old and love the young!" ”
Bai Fan struggled and said: "It's not a kiss, he doesn't love the young, why should he respect the elder, don't pull me, I want to fight him to the death!" ”
Lin Yu clenched his fists and persuaded: "Miss Bai, calm down, who doesn't know that you are ranked second on the charm list of the rivers and lakes, if you are ugly, then there will be no beauty in the world soon!" ”
Bai Fan stopped his movements and threw an appreciative look at Lin Yu, an explanation that she liked deeply.
Gu Liancheng looked at her and sneered: "I said that it was the second, isn't there another first in front of this?" Lin Yu, you tell her who the first place is! ”
"Uh...... The first place is you, the owner of the city! Lin Yu said with a smile.
Bai Fan rolled up his lowered sleeves again and asked, "Who is this bullshit charm list?" You see where the charm of his appearance comes from? ”
"I'm not charismatic?" Gu Liancheng sneered and said proudly, "Do you know what those people outside are here for?" They're all here to see me! ”
"I've seen narcissism, but I've never seen you so narcissistic!" Bai Fan crossed his arms and said disdainfully, "Who knows if those outside are the sailors you paid for?" ”
"I don't like to hear that!" Gu Liancheng frowned and said, "I can't even afford to support you, where can I get the money to hire a navy!" ”
"I don't know as much as you!" Bai Fan turned around and was about to leave.
Gu Liancheng called her coldly: "Stop, where are you going?" ”
She stopped and exclaimed, "Go buy something to eat, you're hungry!" ”
"Then you don't have to go!"
Gu Liancheng closed the folding fan and gently tapped the table twice, and more than a dozen black-clothed guards lined up and walked over with dishes.
Xiaohua couldn't help but swallow her saliva as she looked at the dishes on the table, and Gu Liancheng beckoned a few of them and said, "Let's all sit down and eat!" ”
"Thank you, Lord Liancheng!"
Several people bowed their hands in unison, and consciously moved the stool over.
Gu Liancheng looked at Bai Fan, who was still standing at the door, and frowned, "What? Do you want me to come and invite you? ”
Bai Fan snorted coldly, pulled his sleeves and turned around and walked to Xiaohua's side, and was about to sit down, but heard Gu Liancheng's cough.
She often quarreled with Gu Liancheng, and she was only angry for three minutes.
She walked to Gu Liancheng and sat down, picked up the bowl and began to grill the rice, Xiaohua sandwiched a piece of meat and put it in her bowl.
said seriously: "Come, eat more meat, and if you gain weight, you can beat the owner of Liancheng!" ”
Gu Liancheng shook his fan and said with a smile: "If she gains weight, I'm afraid she won't even be able to do light work!" ”
……
"Why don't you eat it?" Bai Fan bit his chopsticks and asked Gu Liancheng, "Did you poison the dish?" ”
Listening to her words, the movements of several people froze at the same time.
Gu Liancheng didn't answer her question, but tapped her chopsticks with a folding fan, and said, "How many times have I told you, don't bite the chopsticks!" ”
Click!
The chopsticks were bitten and broken by Bai Fan, but she really didn't mean it, it was the quality of the chopsticks that was too poor.
"Change a pair of chopsticks for Miss!" Gu Liancheng said to the guards behind him.
The guard immediately took a new pair of chopsticks and sent them to Bai Fan, Gu Liancheng looked at the few people who stopped the chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and eat, eat well and go on the road!" ”
"Huh?"
Several people exclaimed in unison.
Bai Fan also took out a silver needle from her sleeve and inserted it into the rice, she looked at the normal silver needle and said suspiciously: "There is no poison in the rice, is it poisoned in the dish?" ”
After speaking, she stretched out her hand and was about to insert the silver needle into the dish, Gu Liancheng hit her hand back with a folding fan, and scolded:
"Do you think I'm full and have nothing to do, so I came from Liancheng Villa to poison you?"
Bai Fan put away the silver needle and complained, "Who made you talk so scary, and you are full to go on the road?" Isn't that a dead man? ”
Just as a few people were about to move their chopsticks, Gu Liancheng said faintly: "Actually, I just let people put some drugs!" ”
A few people silently put the picked up dishes back, and at this time there was the sound of a carriage rolling outside the door, and after a while, Li Zichu walked in.
He bowed his head to Gu Liancheng and said, "Master, the carriage is ready!" ”
Gu Liancheng waved his hand at him, and Li Zichu silently retreated.
He looked at Bai Fan and the others, and said seriously: "I was joking with you just now, the food is very clean, hurry up and eat!" ”
He looked at Bai Fan and said specially: "Especially you, hurry up and finish eating and get on the road!" ”
"Where are you going?" Bai Fan asked suspiciously.
"Back to Liancheng Villa!"
Gu Liancheng gently patted his palms with a folding fan, and sighed: "Jin Danyu Flying Pigeon passed the book to say that He Qing'an is almost gone!" ”
"What?"
Bai Fan put the bowl heavily on the table, she grabbed Gu Liancheng's sleeve and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with He Qing'an?" Why all of a sudden...... Not really? ”
Her voice grew quieter, and her eyes turned red.
"Don't you know that He Qing'an is injured?" Gu Liancheng asked suspiciously.
Bai Fan shook his head again and again, and said in a choked voice: "He didn't tell me about it, did you let him rush back and do something dangerous to get him injured?" ”
"What dangerous thing can I get him to do?"
Gu Liancheng sighed and explained, "I got the news that He Qing'an was hit by a bloody palm, and asked Li Zichu to ask him to go back to Liancheng Villa to find Jin Danyu for healing!" ”
"Hurry up and eat, let's go after eating!" Gu Liancheng urged her.
"I don't want to eat, I don't have an appetite!" Bai Fan wiped away his tears, turned around and left the inn.
"Miss, please get in the carriage!" Li Zichu said to her.
She nodded, sitting in the carriage and couldn't figure out when He Qing'an was injured.
Was it when it was in that county? Although he was beaten that day and his nose and face were swollen, it was only a skin injury.
Could it be in the Deng family? He disappeared for a while......
It's impossible, the Deng family's kung fu is a three-legged cat,
How could it be possible to do such an evil kung fu as the Blood Palm.
"I remembered, it's in the Mo family!"
Bai Fan stood up excitedly, but forgot that he was in the carriage, and his head hit the roof of the car with a crisp sound.
Li Zichu opened the car door and asked her worriedly: "Miss, are you okay?" ”
She covered her head and waved her hand, gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" ”
She still remembered the jade pendant she picked up at Mo's house, and He Qing'an said that it was his jade, which was dropped there during a fight with someone.
Although the room was full of sword marks, it did not rule out the possibility that the person would have a bloody palm.
and the cough she heard that night, maybe He Qing'an didn't catch a cold, but was coughing up blood because he was hit by a bloody palm.
Gu Liancheng walked into the carriage, and as soon as he sat down, Bai Fan said: "I remembered when He Qing'an was injured, it was because I was too careless and didn't notice his abnormality. ”
"You can't be blamed for that."
Gu Liancheng adjusted his comfortable sitting posture and sighed, "If that person doesn't tell me the news of his injury, I don't know when he will hide it!" ”
"But I don't think he can hide it for long!" Gu Liancheng smiled bitterly and said, "The person who has been hit by the bloody palm has never been able to endure seven days, and so has she!" ”
A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, he patted Bai Fan's shoulder and said, "If you want to open up, He Qing'an will be fine!" ”
He still remembered that when he picked He Qing'an back from the snow, the skin on his whole body had been frozen purple and blue.
He thought that He Qing'an would not be able to live, but he didn't expect him to rely on that bowl of hot soup to survive.
Bai Fan suddenly remembered that he hadn't said hello to Jiang He yet, and he left suddenly, would he be worried?
No, Lin Yu knew that I was gone with Uncle Liancheng, and he would tell him.
She opened the curtain and looked in the direction of Yuelai Inn, Gu Liancheng saw her thoughts, and said, "I have already said hello to Jiang He, and he said that he will go to Liancheng Villa after he is busy with the affairs of Luoyang here!" ”
On the way back, Bai Fan told Gu Liancheng what had happened.
"Mo Xiangyang's family was destroyed, and He Qing'an was injured when he was investigating their family!"
She asked, "Could the person who hurt He Qing'an be the murderer who destroyed the Mo family?" ”
"Maybe, maybe not!" Gu Liancheng replied thoughtfully.
He played with a fan and said to himself: "It stands to reason that the bloody palm should have been lost twenty-five years ago, why did it suddenly appear in Mo Xiangyang's house now?" Could it be that their family had something to do with that incident back then? ”
"What happened twenty-five years ago?" Bai Fan asked suspiciously.
"It's not a secret that can't be told, so it doesn't hurt to tell you!"
Gu Liancheng pondered for a while and said, "Do you know the tragedy of the Martyr's Hall twenty-five years ago? ”
It's another annihilation, Bai Fan frowned, thinking to himself that some people don't understand that "disaster doesn't affect their families"?
Where is their conscience?
She shook her head and said, "I've never heard anyone mention it!" ”
He sighed: "That incident is a shame for the vast majority of people in the rivers and lakes, everyone avoids talking about it, and it's not surprising that you don't know!" ”
He sneered and continued: "But do they think that if they don't talk about it, the people in the rivers and lakes will forget about it? It's ridiculous! ”
Listening to Gu Liancheng's tone, Bai Fan vaguely felt that the matter of the Lie Hall was not simple, and it might involve some famous factions in the rivers and lakes.
She waited expectantly for Gu Liancheng to continue, but she didn't expect Gu Liancheng to sigh.
said: "This matter is very involved, in order to avoid you getting into unnecessary trouble, I still won't tell you!" ”
Bai Fan rolled his eyes and said directly: "Uncle Liancheng, you can't do this, you don't talk about it when people are interested, you are shameless like this!" ”
"And if you don't tell me now, I will definitely be tempted to investigate, won't there be more trouble then?"
She shook Gu Liancheng's hand and said coquettishly: "Uncle Liancheng, just tell me!" ”
Gu Liancheng smiled and was about to tell her, but accidentally saw the red jade pendant she hid on her waist.
"It's ......"
He reached out and took the jade pendant from Bai Fan's waist, his brows furrowed in an instant, and asked, "Where did you get this jade pendant?" ”
