A game within a game
On the fourth watch, the air in early winter is filled with the cold air at dawn, the grass and trees in the depths of the mountains and forests have withered, the white cold smoke gradually enters the town, a smoke and fire hit, and the sky above the house is like the white mist exhaled from the lips in winter, and there is a cold winter momentum.
Bai Hanyan woke up from a dream, and it turned out that winter was really coming.
She lowered her head and sighed, the cold wind blew on her face, it was a little cold, and even her heart ached, she took a deep breath, the coolness rushed from the end of her nose to her chest, and then the thoughts in her head were more clear than before.
Bai Hanyan tilted her head slightly, glanced behind her without a trace, as far as her eyes could see, Qiao Chu followed behind her not far away, her steps were shallow, and suddenly, she paused and stopped in place.
"Did you figure it out?" Qiao Chu looked at her paused steps, his slender eyebrows like an ink pen moved slightly, he raised his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.
Bai Hanyan looked at him with disdain, his eyes were shrewd, his expression was cold, his voice was calm and cold, and there was no emotion at all: "You're right, instead of making him feel guilty for a lifetime, it's better to completely cut off his thoughts, and it will be better in the future, maybe he will meet a confidant, and ...... I don't think that you saved him this time, just to punish the heart, there must be other purposes, it is not impossible to stay by your side, I am on guard against you every day, maybe I can protect him. ”
A ray of morning light shone on the pale little face of the white cold smoke, making the skin slightly red, and the burning eyes shone slightly under the sun, with some flashes of trembling and pain. Qiao Chu raised his eyebrows and smiled, slowly walked to her side, leaned down slightly towards her, met her with treacherous eyes, and said calmly: "The white girl is smart, she has chosen a correct path, in the final analysis, it should be your blessings, maybe everything in front of you is fake, you look at me every day, let him live well, it is true." Bai Hanyan, we are the people all the way. ”
Bai Hanyan raised her head and stared at the deep eyes of the man in front of her, the cold eyes of the newborn warmth could not warm the coldness in the depths of her eyes, she suddenly sank down, and snorted coldly: "Since it is all fake, then when I saw you in the prison of Guiyang Mansion, what you said was also false." The person my father came to Guiyang to see was not you at all, or ...... You planned my father's case! ”
Qiao Chu slowly straightened up, glanced at her meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Why, you only remembered to ask me this question now, it seems that Duan Changge in your heart is more important than Zhaoxue for your father." ”
Bai Hanyan opened his mouth, but he didn't refute it, Qiao Chu smiled lightly: "Duan Changge also asked me this question. ”
Bai Hanyan's heart trembled suddenly, it turned out that Changge had also doubted it, and secretly questioned him, she couldn't help but ask again: "Is that you?" ”
"It's not." Qiao Chu squinted at her, with a soft smile in his eyebrows, but Bai Hanyan felt that the smile was very dazzling, and he said, "If the white girl doesn't believe it, she can investigate." ”
There were a few dog barks at the street entrance in the distance, and the quiet morning was a little dull and tight, and the slender fingers of the white cold smoke cage in the sleeve condensed, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will." ”
The quiet stone road of the morning light has a warm sheen paved by the morning light, and the frost white of last night quickly melts away under the sun, and I don't know whose early carrier pigeons swept over the white-walled houses in the alley, leaving a dark shadow in the half-light and half-dark air.
With a creak, a dark door suddenly opened silently, and a woman wearing a light-colored narrow-sleeved gauze skirt walked out gently, with a slight tassel on her head, but there seemed to be something moving slightly at the end of the skirt under her feet, and it was blown up by a gust of morning wind, only to see that under the skirt of the original woman, there was a snow-white fox hidden all over.
The woman stood in front of the door, raised her hand and took off the slender wooden sign hanging on the wall next to the door, held it tightly in the palm of her hand, and carefully wiped the autumn frost on it with a silk silk.
The wooden sign made of agarwood, the color is low and dark, and it is dangling on the wall at the moment, which makes people's eyes dazzle, but there are five blood-red characters on it that are particularly eye-catching, and it is not considered life or death.
Yes, this is a place of geography, but the door is cold, and it is not good to come to business.
The woman raised her legs and turned around to go back to the house, but at this moment she heard a deep male voice behind her sounding in the distance: "Death is not life, ordinary people don't understand the inside story, they will not dare to approach, girl, are you not afraid that the five words on this wooden sign will scare off the guests?" ”
The woman stopped and looked sideways at the visitor. I saw a man with a long figure walking slowly towards him, a moment has come to the eye, she gently raised her lips and smiled, and her voice was soft: "Ordinary scholars, even if they were rich and noble in life, only one person was prosperous, and I, looking at the tomb and breaking feng shui, counted the blessings of the descendants after death, but how many generations of glory can be guaranteed, which one does the son think is more important?" ”
"Girl, what a big breath." Qiao Chu's dark eyes brought a smile without waves: "I think it's important to be rich and noble in life, after all, death is death, what is it for future generations, is mine right, Miss Lingji?" ”
Ling Ji soothed her eyebrows and pursed her lips and smiled, raised her hand to push the dark wooden door open, opened her body slightly, and smiled at Qiao Chu: "Young Master Qiao is really punctual, not bad for a moment." ”
Qiao Chu walked into the door with the tail of his clothes, stepped on the stone path in the courtyard, turned his head to look at her with a smile on his face, and his voice was warm: "How dare Qiao Chu miss the appointment of a beauty, and he is still a femme fatale?" ”
Hearing this, Ling Ji pulled her lips and smiled, and the pearl tassel on her head trembled, she closed the door casually, and her voice was soft and glutinous: "You and I take what we need, what I want is Duan Changge, what you want is Bai Hanyan, this transaction is not a loss for you and me, it is cost-effective." ”
Qiao Chu nodded seriously when he heard this, and suddenly he looked up at her deeply, with a hint of evil in his warm eyes: "If I torture him to the point that life is worse than death, and then kill him, won't you feel distressed?" ”
Ling Jiyun smiled lightly, raised his palm to hold the broken hair next to his ear, his side face was like a whole piece of cold white and clear ice sculpture in the shadow under the door, his eyebrows and eyes turned slightly, and he suddenly gathered a chill, and the cold glow in the corners of his eyes was faintly green: "Who gave you permission to kill him, Qiao Chu, I don't care how you torture him, but Duan Changge's life is mine." ”
Qiao Chu raised his eyebrows and sneered slightly: "Do you still think he still has love for you?" ”
Ling Ji didn't deny it, her expression was cold, and she said coldly: "What's the matter, he said that he loved me, he is mine, and no one can hurt him by half a point!" ”
"If he doesn't love you, you'll kill him with your own hands?" Qiao Chu asked again.
"I can't get it and I won't give him up to others, he can only die in my hands!" Lingji's expression changed, so cold, so obedient, as if she had accumulated all the hatred, and became a little hideous.
Qiao Chu sighed twice, shook his head and sighed: "You can't help but overestimate your own weight in his heart, he just likes you, he has never been sincere, and his city is very deep, be careful to be seen by him for flaws, I have been fighting with him for so many years, if it weren't for Bai Hanyan becoming his weakness and messing up, he wouldn't have fallen into the trap so easily, you are not his opponent." ”
"That's my business, it's none of your business!" Ling Ji looked up at him suddenly, and her eyes were blazing with fierce and fierce light: "I said, cooperating with you is only temporary, you are not qualified to take care of my business, you killed the secret pile I left in the Drunken Flower Building, I don't have to settle this account with you, but if you dare to hurt Duan Changge, I will never let you go!" ”
Qiao Chu squinted, a hint of mockery flashed on his face, and he shook his head as if to sigh: "It's still your brother Lingmiao who is smart and knows how to let go, but you can't see it." ”
"Without further ado, what are you going to do with me?" Lingji's eyes were like a phoenix, full of impatience.
Qiao Chu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to her, and said lightly: "This is the address, you just need to do what I say." ”
Bai Hanyan looked coldly at the nearly 100 men in black clothes behind Qiao Chu, with a scarf covering his face and a sharp blade at his waist, the man led by him was wrapped in a black cloak, his hood covered his hair, and only a strand of long black hair fell from his ears to his side. The veil blocked the lower half of his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes with a cold light.
Bai Hanyan couldn't help but sneer: "Young Master Qiao, you plan to use these more than 100 people to sneak attack the Jinzhou garrison of nearly 20,000 people?" Even if you fight ten against one, it's just an egg hitting a stone! ”
Qiao Chu shrugged helplessly: "The white girl's idea is too shocking, although it is a good plan, but these people have already been all my belongings, I even gave you my henchman Mo Yun, and the white girl is not satisfied." ”
Bai Hanyan flicked his sleeves, lowered his eyes, and said coldly: "Qiao Chu, you don't want to save him!" ”
Qiao Chu suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, suddenly stretched out his hand to her, grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms, leaned close to her, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I am more prepared than you, the current disaster in the capital is just a beginning for me to give them, the good show is still to come, I won't let them die so easily, you do yours, I do mine, in short, our purpose is the same, it's just that you Bai Hanyan must obediently cooperate with me, otherwise when I get angry, I will ruthlessly kill him!" ”
Bai Hanyan shook off his hand, his black and white peach-like eyes clearly swept a trace of darkness and coldness, and he snorted coldly: "Don't worry, since I promised you, I won't regret it." ”
Whether it's guilt or guilt, she just wants him to live.
Bai Hanyan's heart ached, he hated don't give birth, don't blame me, Changge, you have to live well, even if you hate me and hate me every day, it's better than me living alone in this world, thinking about you day and night. I can't give you happiness, but I will return this body to you, in the next life, if God has mercy, may we meet, love each other, and renew our relationship......
Qiao Chu gently raised his eyes to look at the blue sky in front of him, there were meager smoke-like floating clouds, quietly passing through the clear sky, he rubbed his hands with treacherous eyes, and muttered with a chuckle: "I can't wait, I can't wait to see how his life is worse than death......"
