In the evening, Li Yong came and behaved politely, saying that Shen Yucheng was invited.

Xu Pingyan silently followed him.

Shen Wei lived in the closed city, although he could not reach the corners of governing the country and the country, but he gave full play to his business acumen, and earned a lot of savings by relying on the tea and medicine trade with Qingzhou. Therefore, in such a remote place, the Shen family's small mansion is still a three-story spire villa, with red roof and white tiles, exquisite and elegant, and a lush garden in front of it is a garden covering a large area, which raises all kinds of flowers and trees, and is surrounded by several fountains.

Li Yong led Xu Pingyan and climbed a few spiral stairs before he arrived.

The doorkeeper opened the door, Li Yong bowed slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and did not mean to go in together. Xu Pingyan walked straight in, but her heart was hairy.

The house was burning with soda pipes, and it was as warm as three springs. There is a half-circle of Western soft sofas in the outer hall, half of the lace and satin covers on the sofa, a few pots of orchids are placed on the long glass table, and a gauze tent is pulled behind the sofa, and the figure behind the tent is shaking, and a Western round bed is faintly seen, Shen Dashao is half naked, with a bleeding bandage on his shoulder, and he is playing with the medicine bowl on the table.

Shen Dashao noticed her, opened the curtain with one hand, came out with a medicine bowl in the other, and stopped one step away expressionlessly.

After years of hard work in the army, his skin was wheat-colored brownish, like a wanton spread of yellow earth, his upper body was strong, his skin was firm and precise, and his muscles were like arched low mountains.

Xu Pingyan looked at him, her face was not red and her heart was not beating.

Shen Dashao shook his head and smiled bitterly, sat on the sofa by himself, put down the medicine bowl, reached out to untie the bandages, and then used the brush in the bowl to dip the anti-inflammatory medicine on the wound.

Xu Pingyan just wanted to leave the Shen family as soon as possible, and didn't want to do any more useless waste, so without saying a word, he snatched the medicine brush that was not very handy in his hand, walked up to the sofa, squatted down, and dipped the potion in the muzzle on his shoulder.

The muzzle of the gun was turned out with rotten flesh, which had scabbed slightly, and the blood hole was black and red.

The soft brush head, the force is neither light nor heavy, like a breeze that tickles, Shen Dashao doesn't seem to be so painful, and looks at her with lowered eyes. Her eyelashes, long like butterfly wings, shone in the lantern.

Xu Pingyan wiped the medicine, looked up and asked, "Where is the new gauze?" ”

"In a drawer." Shen Dashao was rarely docile, and pointed to the second drawer under the sofa as he spoke.

Xu Pingyan took out scissors gauze from the drawer, cut it into long strips, leaned over, and passed her hand through Shen Dashao's neck, quickly wrapping it.

Her shadow fell on Shen Dashao's body like a thin cloud. Shen Yucheng praised and said, "You have made a great contribution." ”

Xu Pingyan's movements in his hands paused, and she hurriedly tied the knot and took a step back.

"You are very smart, you cooperate very well, you are not afraid of danger, you are not noisy or noisy." Shen Dashao put one hand on the sofa, his posture was very comfortable, but his eyes were dark and uncertain. "The rogues on the Five Poisons Mountain were once part of my father's army, followed by Dong Guosheng. According to the investigation, they still eat military salaries, but they have to sweep near the market every ten days and a half months, the purpose is to discredit the security of the closed city, so that the father is derelict in his duties, difficult to transfer, difficult to promote. ”

Xu Pingyan looked at him, not knowing what he meant by saying these things to himself.

"Dong Guosheng has always been reckless, he always likes to be held high by others, the second brother refuted his face under the stage for you, as soon as he left on his front foot, the second brother was assassinated, the murderer can act in such a race against time, and assassinate in the second brother's room, he must be a person in the Shen family mansion. Presumably these people are Dong Guosheng's eyeliner, I will plan it, first secretly kill an undercover agent who has been targeted a long time ago, and then arrest you, deliberately spread the news, and arrest you to the Five Poisons Mountain to torture and shoot you. Other people are afraid that you will reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, so that Dong Guosheng's horse feet can be traced, and they will definitely kill you desperately. But it just so happened that one of the bandits was a cronie I had mixed into, and he encouraged him several times, and those who were suffocated naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and wanted to take advantage of this incident to scare our prestige. But the prestige was not bad, and it was served in a pot, thanks to you. ”

His expression was astonishing, his eyes were bright, and he was smiling, but it was intimidating.

Xu Pingyan completely understood, she was just a tool that was used, and in one fell swoop she eradicated the secret line of Dong thieves and the lockdown of the city.

Xu Pingyan clenched the edge of her sleeves, and her cavity was dull like fire. Why is her life a mustard for mermaid meat!

"Are you annoying me? Didn't you sacrifice your life to save you like the second brother did after the fire that day? His voice was deep and earnest.

"You are the chief, I am a grass people, we are not related, you can spare my life, I am already very grateful." Xu Pingyan smiled lightly, her face was pale, and the temperature in her eyes was cold.

Shen Dashao stood up and patted Xu Pingyan's shoulder gently, like a friendly brother, with a sincere voice, "Your enemy is my enemy, I only need a beauty knife to cut his throat, are you willing to be the knife in my hand?" ”

Xu Pingyan raised her eyes and saw Shen Dashao smiling, her expression seemed to be talking about an inconsequential but interesting trivial matter, gentle and natural.

Xu Pingyan was taken aback, her expression was cold in an instant, and her eyes were like fierce beasts hidden in the jungle, and she was about to bark her fangs immediately. According to his sworn tone, he must have seen through her that she was going to assassinate Dong Guosheng. She suddenly felt that the person in front of her was too complicated, too terrifying, sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, it was really difficult to get along, and she worked blindly together, so she smirked: "I really don't understand what the eldest young master means." ”

Shen Dashao spread his hands, his smile was light, but there was light in his eyes, flickering brightly and dimly, "What the second brother in your sleeve can know, I can naturally know." ”

Under the stage, Shen Yuchen was trying his best to save her, and the man in front of him, from beginning to end, was a cold-eyed plan under control.

"The second brother is too anxious, and he has always been innocent and kind, he doesn't understand the powerful relationship, in fact, it's not right whether he saves you or not, if he saves you, he will offend Dong Guosheng, if he doesn't save you, if Dong Guosheng dies in the lockdown, my father will be to blame. If it were me, I would let you assassinate him, and then arrest you at a critical moment and save him, so that my Shen family is easy to talk to, and maybe I can secretly save your life. He was very honest and paused, "Would you like to be the knife in my hand?" ”

Compared with his foresight and great grasp, Xu Pingyan feels that he is a cricket who embroiders his legs with fists and is played by others in pots and bowls.

Xu Pingyan stabilized her mind, and said with a smile: "I understand the kindness of the eldest young master, I'm afraid I can't make the knife in your hand, in the troubled times, I'm just a woman, and I'm not sharp enough." ”

Then he turned and left.

"The day after tomorrow, I will leave for Qingzhou, whether I follow me or not, it's up to you." There was no trace of unhappiness in Shen Yucheng's words, his voice was gloomy, and he was quite confident.

Xu Pingyan unscrewed the door and bumped into a beautiful and moving young woman when she went out, the young woman was holding her wishful hair in a low bun, and a hanging hairpin with a jade base was inserted obliquely on the bun, wearing a satin wide skirt of a Chinese wife, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, pear vortex smiled, holding a slightly raised lower abdomen, smiling gently and amiably, simple and kind.

Presumably this is Shen Dashao's wife.

Xu Pingyan bent down to pick up the handkerchief that had been knocked off, and saw that there was also a bush of orchids embroidered on the end of the handkerchief, thinking that this young grandmother should be very fond of orchids. Shen Dashao should also respect and pamper this wife very much.

Xu Wanqing took the handkerchief in her hand and nodded slightly.

Xu Pingyan bowed her head and retreated.

The two maids on the side saw Xu Pingyan walking away, and muttered a few words in front of Xu Wanqing with disdain, most of them were not far from the fox embryo. Xu Wanqing shook her head with a smile, her smile was soft, and she made a few sign languages, and the two maids immediately bowed their heads and were silent.

Early the next morning, Xu Pingyan took a rickshaw and went to the alley. The master really left, she went into her own room, silently packed her luggage, only a set of costumes, two cheongsams, and a box of fat powder boxes.

She was bending down to clean up, when suddenly her two arms were firmly wrapped around her waist, and the smell of hot wine reached her ears, affectionate and sad, "It's me who has no power and power, and I am cowardly and cowardly, so I dare not break into the police department, so I can only hide in the corner and get drunk, waiting for you to come back, or wait for your body to come back." ”

Xu Pingyan quietly broke Bai Heng's hands, turned around, looked at his chaotic eyes, and said lightly, "In the troubled times, people are like duckweed, and you and I have nothing to do with each other, you don't need to do life-threatening things for me." ”

As if angered by these words, Bai Heng grabbed her shoulder, shook violently, and said loudly: "What do you mean I have nothing to do with you!" What do you mean I don't have to risk for you! As he spoke, his voice slowed down, his eyes were misty, and he lost his mind, "You know, I, I ...... you"

"But I'm nothing to you!" Xu Pingyan interrupted sharply, brushed his hand away, and said clearly, "I told you a long time ago, I am not a little woman with a long love for children, and I am destined to have a definite fate." Besides, I have only friendship with you, and I have no affection for men and women. ”

She just didn't want to bother him.

Bai Heng laughed, his eyebrows were elegant, his beard was dark blue, his slender body trembled, and he was lonely, but he suddenly fell into a daze, threw Xu Pingyan on the bed, and hurriedly unbuttoned her, "But I can't live without you, but I can't live without you, senior sister, don't worry, I will be good to you." ”

Xu Pingyan fumbled out the meniscus knife in her purse, held it with both hands, raised it to his face, the tip of the knife was shiny, and pointed it at his forehead, "Get out!" ”

Bai Heng suddenly stopped moving, his hands were raised in the air with nowhere to be placed, his expression seemed to be panicked, he raised his hand and slapped himself, choked up and explained, "Senior sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm ...... I ......"

Xu Pingyan blasted him away, took the luggage and got up, hid the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at him condescendingly, and said certainly: "Tell the master, I won't return to the troupe, his upbringing, if I have a life, I will repay him." ”

"Where are you going!" Bai Heng wanted to tug at the corner of her clothes.

Xu Pingyan took half a step back without a trace, no longer looked at him, and strode away.

As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw that Shen Yuchen's ears were listening to the wall against the door, and she was immediately frightened.

Xu Pingyan looked at him with a flat gaze, buttoned the flower button on his collar casually, and left by mistake.

Shen Yuchen covered his eyes with his sleeves, but he was very embarrassed, he wanted to take another look, he twisted and thought for a long time, and then raised his eyes to see that everyone was far away.
