Chapter Ninety-Six: Zi Yan

"You girl can't help but be fierce, and your courage is not small!" Lin Zhifan shook his head and said helplessly.

A smile line appeared on Bai Hanyan's lips, looking up at the waning moon in the sky, and sighed softly: "This is called putting oneself to death and then being born." ”

The timing is just right.

Lin Zhifan and Bai Hanyan were wearing a lively light market, and it was bustling. The lights were dim, the voices were boiling, and Bai Hanyan frowned slightly, I really didn't like it to be so lively.

"Today is August 13, these days are not very lively, until August 15, I am afraid that the flow of people at this moment is crowded and not moving."

Lin Zhifan pushed aside the crowd around him and walked forward, Bai Hanyan following behind him.

"August 15......" Bai Hanyan muttered in a low voice.

Lin Zhifan paused slightly, turned his head to look at her and saw that her eyes were slightly dark, so he knew what she was thinking, and couldn't help sighing: "August 15 is the big festival of my dynasty, and the holy means to make the Ministry of Rites more lively, Duan Changge has a knighthood, and he will come to Beijing because of his feelings. ”

There was a touch of sorrow in Bai Hanyan's eyes, he smiled and took a deep breath and said: "Since it is unfatal, why force it, presumably he and Lingji should be an enviable couple." ”

Lin Zhifan shook his head silently when he heard this, raised his legs and continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, there was a shout from the crowd in front of him, Bai Hanyan looked up when he heard the sound, and saw a ragged woman, as if she had been knocked to the ground by a man, this fall was really not light, the woman's head fell to the ground hard, and she fell unconscious at that time, and the man ran straight to the alley behind the woman who fell to the ground without squinting, only in an instant, the figure of the person swept in front of her eyes, but Bai Hanyan's body suddenly stood on the ground and stiffened.

"The woman in front of her seems to be injured?" Lin Zhifan didn't notice Bai Hanyan's strange appearance, grabbed her arm, and walked towards the woman quickly.

Walking to the woman's side, Lin Zhifan looked down at her injury, and saw that there was more blood on her head, Lin Zhifan didn't care about any etiquette when he saw this, bent over and picked up the woman, turned back to Bai Hanyan and said, "I'll take him to the hospital, and I'll look for you in your hut in a while." ”

Bai Hanyan's eyes kept falling in the deep alley, and he didn't hear Lin Zhifan's words clearly, and he didn't know when he left, but he felt cold, and she wouldn't admit that the person she was mistaken, although he was wearing a plain green robe, but it was the back, it must be him.

"Duan Changge......" Bai Hanyan whispered his name, and didn't care about anything at the moment, she raised her legs and ran towards the alley, because she had just seen a few people behind Duan Changge who had been chasing him.

There were a few lanterns hanging in the alley, swaying in the dusk, making people a little dizzy, and Bai Hanyan ran in quickly, his pace was as rapid as a fine drumbeat, and the tassels on his skirt were in the wind.

Suddenly, she paused, but seeing that the alley was empty, she tightened her fingers, her face darkened, and slowly turned around and walked back.

"In the end, I won't be able to ......" Bai Hanyan chuckled, but she was too worried, she was strong in martial arts, how could those people be his opponents.

Suddenly, the cat in the oblique thorn was frightened and pounced out, straight to Bai Hanyan's face, she was in a trance for a while and did not be surprised, when she found out, the cat stretched out its paws in front of her, Bai Hanyan couldn't help but exclaim, only to hear a knife whistle, the cat's flying body involuntarily rubbed her and fell to the ground.

The person who suddenly appeared in front of Bai Hanyan's eyes made her stiffen her back, and the person thought she was frightened, and smiled at her wickedly, and there was a sound of hurried footsteps not far behind her.

Bai Hanyan looked up at the back of the person in front of him, several people who were chasing him had stumbled, thinking that it had taken a lot of effort to catch him, but it was in such a critical situation that he actually raised his hand to relieve her, when he walked past her quickly, he wiped the burning breath between her body and nose, and inadvertently sprayed on Bai Hanyan's side face, which made her stunned for a while, and the corner of the person's mouth brought an evil and playful smile, just like when they first met.

"No thanks."

The evil and arrogant voice faintly turned into her heart, causing her to burst into tears.

Bai Hanyan looked back at the figure of the man, and several people who pursued him passed by her, their breath was slightly floating, the footsteps stopped, and the depths of the alley were quiet again, as if the hurried side of the person was just an illusion in a misty dream.

Bai Hanyan looked at the empty alley for a long time, and finally the sound of the cat eating pain woke her up, she turned her head to look, walked forward and leaned over to check the poor cat twitching on the ground, fortunately only injured her leg, Bai Hanyan took a close-fitting handkerchief from the cuff to bandage it, touched its hair, turned around and disappeared into the alley.

When I returned to the thatched hut in the mountains, it was already more than the middle of the night, and the mountain mist like colostrum shrouded the thatched eaves that had been several years, the moonlight was tender yellow, and the sky was blue, wrapped in the clear and cold smell of leaves, which washed away the troubled mood of white cold smoke.

She pushed open the door, raised her eyes and saw Lin Zhifan at the door, and was shocked again, but at that time he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I was about to go out to find you, why did you come back, and your face was so bad?" ”

Lin Zhifan examined her carefully. Worried: "What's wrong with you, but is something wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that there are too many people, and it's slower." Bai Hanyan took off the veil on her face, revealing a beautiful little face, she smiled perfunctorily, her eyes inadvertently swept to the bed, and saw a woman lying on her bed, with a wound on her head, already bandaged, her clothes were shabby, her eyes were closed, and her face was pale.

"She's the woman who fell and injured herself?"

Bai Hanyan raised his eyes slightly to look at Lin Zhifan and asked, "You didn't send her to the hospital, why did you bring her here?" ”

Lin Zhifan's face turned angry when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "This medical hall is not open at night, I knocked on a few doors and didn't open, this man and woman can't kiss, I have been holding her like this, and it is unreasonable, so I have no choice but to put it here with you." ”

Bai Hanyan nodded and walked towards the unconscious woman, the woman's robe was shabby and a little dirty, but her eyebrows and eyes were delicate and lovely, and she sighed lightly: "What a beautiful embryo, Lin Zhifan, you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”

Bai Hanyan's words made Lin Zhifan blush slightly, he turned his head, his face was extremely unnatural, and suddenly he cleared his throat and said with a straight expression: "I told you that you were going to tell you something, but you almost forgot about it because of this matter." ”

"What's the matter?" Bai Hanyan saw that his expression was correct, and he couldn't help frowning at the moment.

"The colleague in Guiyang who came to Beijing with you, the one named Qiao Chu, he died."

"What! Qiao Chu is dead! Bai Hanyan couldn't help but widen his starry eyes, only to feel that it was an earth-shattering disaster, Qiao Chu was actually dead.

"I happened to meet Duan Chang's singer's deputy general Cangli, who came to the capital some time ago, so I was a little curious and secretly followed him for a few days, and found that he was investigating Qiao Chu's life and death, I thought you would be curious, so I came to inform you."

Bai Hanyan sat at the table in horror, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, Duan Changge had said that she was the means that Qiao Chu used to deal with him.

Because of Qiao Chu's preconceived relationship, his gentle eyebrows and eyes made Bai Hanyan not take much precautions against him. Although she knew that Qiao Chu's purpose was not pure, Bai Hanyan never thought that he would be Duan Changge's enemy, so she became a pawn in his hands, Bai Hanyan couldn't help but tremble in a cold sweat, so in her father's case, Qiao Chu's words were somewhat credible.

"How did he die?" Bai Hanyan asked him in a condensed voice.

Lin Zhifan sat opposite her and said in a low voice: "It seems that you jumped off the cliff on the same day, when Wang Xin ordered Jin Wuwei to block the street, Jin Wuwei had a dispute with him, and Qiao Chu was hacked to death by Jin Wuwei with a knife, and his body was thrown in a mass grave. ”

"So coincidentally?" Bai Hanyan couldn't help but be a little suspicious, it seems that Duan Changge also didn't believe it, otherwise he wouldn't have sent Cangli to investigate this matter.

"Did Cangli find out anything?" Bai Hanyan asked.

Lin Zhifan shook his head and said: "It doesn't seem that anything has been found, that Cang left to dig up the corpse in the mass grave, but the weather is hot, the corpse decomposes quickly, and he has been cut beyond recognition by Jin Wuwei, so he can't be recognized." ”

Bai Hanyan couldn't help but think that when they first entered the capital, after she came back from the palace, she encountered Jinyiwei in the teahouse to make trouble, Qiao Chu used a chopstick to abolish one of Jinyiwei's Tiqi's hands, such martial arts must not be weak, will Jin Wuwei be easily hacked to death?

"Forget it, don't think about it, it's a blessing or a curse, you will know in the future, no matter what you want to do now, you can't think of it." Lin Zhifan kindly persuaded her, glanced at the woman who was still unconscious, and got up to say goodbye: "It's too late, I'll leave first, and I'll come back tomorrow." ”

Bai Hanyan nodded and watched him leave.

After closing the doors and windows, Bai Hanyan and his clothes were lying beside the woman, but he didn't feel sleepy.

A quick glance in the alley tonight, the eyebrows and eyes of the broken intestine and evil seem to be still in front of her, obviously there is no chance, but they can always see each other in every way, she sighed softly in her heart, Duan Changge, what should I do with you?

In the morning, there was a ray of brilliant sunlight shining in from the window door, shining white and cold smoke, her eyes opened slightly, and she slowly got up from the bed, and in the dazzling sunlight, she turned her head to see the woman of last night, curled up at the end of the bed, biting her lip and looking at her timidly.

Bai Hanyan smiled at the woman: "Girl, are you awake, are you better, what is your name?" ”

The man was silent, and shrank his head into the corner of the wall, Bai Hanyan sat on the side and waited patiently for her for a long time, before the woman raised her head and asked in a low voice, "You saved me last night?" ”

Bai Hanyan chuckled and said, "It's not me, it's a man, he saved you and felt that it was rude to be a lonely man and a widow in the middle of the night, so he sent you here." ”

The woman was stunned for a while, and it took a long time for her to move her eyes and hang her head: "Thank you for saving me, my name is Ziyan, may I ask the girl's surname?" ”

Bai Hanyan still smiled and said, "My name is Fu Shu." ”

The woman was stunned again when she heard this, and raised her eyes to exclaim: "You are the new Gongbi painter in the Drunken Flower Building, Fu Shu?" ”

Bai Hanyan was also stunned: "Do you know me?" ”
