Chapter 64: Willow with the Wind
Duan Changge took the lead in jumping off the horse, and Bai Hanyan also jumped down, but saw Duan Changge looking at the dilapidated and decadent temple that appeared in front of him, and said with a cold expression: "Aren't you looking for Liu Suifeng?" ”
Bai Hanyan looked at him in surprise, his eyes fell on the dilapidated City God Temple, and he said in a low voice: "Could it be that he will be here?" ”
Duan Changge looked at the temple gate and walked in with his legs raised, and said lightly: "Not here." ”
Bai Hanyan was dumbfounded, but he knew his temper, since he came here, there would definitely be a clue, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, raising his legs to keep up with his steps.
The two entered the temple gate, and in the middle of the house in front of them was a city god carved in black stone, and his cold eyes and cold face were carved expressionlessly.
Bai Hanyan couldn't help frowning, but saw Duan Changge stretch out his hand and grope for a stack of silver tickets in his sleeve, waved his long arm, threw the silver tickets in his hand and landed firmly on the dusty desk of the city god, and then Duan Changge smiled faintly: "It's time to buy and sell." ”
As soon as his words fell, a gap suddenly opened in the desk under the city god, and a pair of miserable white hands slowly stretched out from the gap, took the silver tickets in his hand, and slowly took them back, and the desk returned to its original state with a bang.
"Two hundred thousand taels? It's a big deal. There was a greedy and low voice from inside, and after a pause, the man turned to a higher tone and asked sharply, "Report the name of the killer." ”
"Willow with the wind." Duan Changge said lightly.
"You can pick, and you are looking for the number one killer in the rivers and lakes." The man pondered for a moment before he said, "Okay, for the sake of 200,000 taels, I will take this deal, let's talk about it, whose life do you want to buy?" ”
Duan Changge raised his eyebrows lightly and smiled, with a light cloud between his eyebrows and eyes, and said slowly: "Duan Changge." ”
Back in Duanfu, the moonlight was already dark, Bai Hanyan's heart began to beat violently, and she panicked inexplicably, she lowered her eyes and bit her lip, and couldn't help but be afraid!
She didn't expect Duan Changge to buy his own life with his own hands, which meant that Liu Suifeng would come to take his life at any time! Bai Hanyan couldn't help but tremble, he actually put himself in such a big danger, and Cangli was not beside him, if Liu came with the wind, wouldn't it be very dangerous!
At that moment, Bai Hanyan didn't care about any woman's reserve, picked up the futon on the bed, raised her legs and walked towards Duan Changge's room, and when she walked to the door, she was ruthless, raised her hand and knocked on the door, and shouted: "Duan Changge, are you sleeping?" ”
After a long time, Duan Changge's lazy voice came from the room, and he said unhappily: "Sleep." ”
Bai Hanyan's eyebrows were horizontal, and he stretched out his legs and kicked his door open, with a bang, Duan Changge frowned, he stood up from the bed, turned his head to look at Bai Hanyan who came to the door with the futon, and wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "What are you doing in my room with the futon?" ”
Bai Hanyan stretched out a foot and kicked the door shut, smiled at him, pursed his lips and said, "I'll accompany you." ”
Duan Changge was startled, couldn't help but lock his eyebrows, and slowly sat up from the bed, this action made his white clothes slightly wide, revealing his porcelain-white chest, Bai Hanyan hurriedly looked elsewhere, and his little face suddenly turned red.
"You don't really have a habit of breaking sleeves, do you?" Duan Changge looked at her suspiciously with an inquiring look.
Bai Hanyan glanced at him, threw the quilt on the carpet under his bed, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid that if Liu Suifeng really comes, you won't be able to deal with it alone." ”
Duan Changge seemed to have heard some funny joke, and his face was full of contemptuous smiles: "Do you think you will do anything here, you don't have any martial arts, if he comes, it will just be a burden." ”
The corners of Bai Hanyan's mouth curled, revealing a smile that he couldn't tell whether it was sour or astringent, lifted the corner of the quilt, got in, turned his body to the side, and said sullenly: "At the very least, I can help you block the knife." ”
Duan Changge looked stunned, looking at Bai Hanyan's thin back, as if he had been hit somewhere in his heart, he lay down irritably, turned his body to the other side, and said impatiently: "If you want to sleep underground, you can do it." ”
Bai Hanyan pursed his lips and said nothing.
The wind suddenly rose at night, the shadows of the trees outside the window swayed, the dark clouds quickly covered the moon, Soon there was a light rain outside, Bai Hanyan listened to the sound of the rain and stayed awake all night, feeling the sound of steady breathing behind him, a heart rose and fell like a fallen leaf blown in the wind.
Father, she may have made a mistake, but what to do, she seems to be more and more inseparable from him.
When the light rain had stopped, but the dark clouds had not yet dispersed, and the sun was not so bright, Duan Changge's mood was inexplicably irritable.
Bai Hanyan took the quilt back to the room, and told the housekeeper Duan Fu to let them send more people to protect Duan Changge openly and secretly, the housekeeper nodded again and again, she glanced at Duan Changge's closed door, and turned to leave.
When her figure disappeared completely, Duan Changge kicked the door open, looking at the direction she was leaving, the feeling of irritability in his heart became more and more intense, and even he himself was surprised, what was this irritability.
Bai Hanyan came to Baifu.
Under the gloomy sky, the White Mansion, which had been abandoned for five years, became more and more decadent and desolate.
She gently pushed open the red iron door that had been peeled, and slowly walked into the courtyard, where the grass and trees in front of the courtyard had long since died, and they were all scorched, and all the flowers and trees were gloomy, only the rhizomes were left dying. Her former home has become a ruined garden.
Although she hadn't stayed there for long, her father's feelings were still there, as if she could feel the kindness of her father's eyebrows and eyes when the master allowed her to go home to visit.
Her nose was slightly sore, she reached out to wipe the tears that fell on her cheeks, raised her legs and walked to the lobby, gently pushed open the dilapidated door of the lobby, and with a muffled creak, she saw that above the lobby, the mirror written by her father was still hanging high above the pillars of the hall.
She could still hear her father's laughter in a trance: "Yan'er, you should take these four words as an example, the mirror is high, your heart is like the bright moon, and you should be like this as an official." ”
"Daddy." Bai Han wept tears rippled, couldn't help muttering, and slowly walked to the bottom of the hall pillar, her father's blood stains had been covered under the dust, she leaned down and brushed the dust off with her hands, the blood stains had already become black marks, but even after five years, the shocking blood stains were still there, and they had invaded the floor, and they couldn't be wiped off, just like the truth, even if it was vacated under the dust, it was still there.
Bai Hanyan stood up and looked at the knife marks on the pillars of the hall, she took a few steps forward, rubbed her fingers carefully, her eyes were cold, her posture was as long as a straight bamboo, her long hair was close to her face, and her face was cold.
She clenched her fists, One day, she will reveal her father's grievances and let the truth be made public.
Out of Baifu, Bai Hanyan walked the road of Lin Zhifan's return journey, and halfway through the walk was the long deep alley in front of him.
The deep alleys are dark, the white walls are plastered with eaves, and the towering horse-head walls are even revealing a cold damp in the cracks of the ground. Bai Hanyan raised his legs and walked in, according to the dossier, Lin Zhifan went back in the middle of the night, and there was no one in the deep alley here, but suddenly a zigui cry sounded in his ears, and he turned around and left.
Then he must have been halfway into the deep alley before he heard it, then Zigui's cry should have sounded in the alley, why did he turn around and walk out of the alley, instead of looking inside, she raised her eyebrows, there was something suspicious here.
Bai Hanyan paused suddenly, perhaps, this is his secret signal with others, so who will be the person who called this secret signal?
Does the willow follow the wind?
The dark clouds above his head became lower and lower, even in the dawn, when the alley was like twilight, Bai Hanyan pondered, sighed slightly, and raised his eyes to see a black shadow standing in the depths of the alley in front of him, wearing a hat on his head, and looking at her with his hands on his chest.
Bai Hanyan was really taken aback, when did this person appear, she didn't even notice it.
"Who are you?" Bai Hanyan looked at him vigilantly and asked in a low voice.
The man was silent, his eyes fell on Bai Hanyan's body, and a treacherous cold aura emanating from his body made people shudder.
Bai Hanyan clenched his palm and asked again, "Who are you?" ”
After a long time, the man spoke slowly, and his voice was low like a ghost who had escaped from the underworld: "I know your identity. ”
Bai Hanyan was startled, his heart trembled a few times, and he asked coldly: "What do you mean by this, what identity will I have?" ”
"The identity you've been hiding." The man spoke in a low voice again.
Bai Hanyan squinted at him, raised his legs and walked towards him step by step, and the words in his mouth became lighter and lighter: "Then you should tell me, what is the identity I have been concealing?" ”
The man laughed gloomily, his voice was scattered and low, and he felt a little calm in his heart, he was about to speak, but at this moment, a male voice suddenly sounded behind Bai Hanyan, with a low voice that was not angry and arrogant: "Han Tuiguan, you are actually here?" ”
Bai Hanyan's body trembled, it was Ji Bangyue's voice, and he hurriedly raised his eyes to see that the black shadow in the depths of the alley was gone, as if he didn't know when he appeared, and at some point, he disappeared again.
It's like having a nightmare.
"Han Tuiguan, who are you talking to here?" Ji Bangyue's footsteps slowly approached from behind, Bai Hanyan looked as usual, and slowly turned his head to look at him, but saw that there was a bit of fierceness in his smiling face.
Bai Hanyan smiled coldly, flicked his sleeves and said, "What's the matter, Master Ji is here to kill me again?" ”
Ji Bangyue raised her head and smiled, her waist shook with laughter, and she sneered: "Han Tuiguan, you are really joking, you are now a celebrity in front of the emperor, and you have the life and death protection of Lord Duan, even if I Ji Bangyue has the courage to do it, I don't dare to do anything to you." ”
Bai Hanyan smiled and said in a low voice: "So, what is Master Ji doing when he follows me here?" ”
Ji Bangyue didn't answer her words, but looked at her deeply, that glance was fierce, gloomy burst out of his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Han Tuiguan, you are just now, but you went to the house of the criminal minister Bai Jingxuan?" ”
