Chapter 193: A dead end
The fragility of the body causes the heart to become soft as well.
When Qin Ruobai was about to break away from Baili Yu's embrace, his hand reacted quickly and clasped her waist, making her fall back into his arms due to inertia, for fear of hitting his chest with his head, and his hands subconsciously propped up on his sides, showing a protective posture.
At this time, if an outsider came in, it was estimated that Qin Ruobai would have knocked down Baili Yu by force, and there was an indescribable plot of a woman and a man.
was so caught off guard, Qin Ruobai did not push away pretentiously, but leaned forward gently, her chin rested on Baili Yu's shoulder socket, the two hugged each other across the quilt, and their warm hearts made people reluctant to get up, thinking that the light snow outside was following the cold wind and waves, she didn't want to go out.
"You're always incomprehensible. ”
Qin Ruobai sighed a little sadly, she couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart, she could often feel the difference between Baili Yu and her treatment, this kind of behavior of intimacy, can she do it so naturally without an emotional foundation?
Baili Yu rubbed the delicate girl in his arms, filled his heart with a strange sense of satisfaction, and listened to her complaint with a little resistance, he smiled sullenly, and the whole chest echoed with joy: "At least at this moment, I admit that I am reluctant to let you leave." ”
Being willful like a child, holding it and not letting go, this feeling is so comforting, it seems that nothing can bother him, and he doesn't need to think about anything.
I have to admit that maybe the two of them have been entangled for too long, Qin Ruobai's feelings for him are not very deep, and he has gradually learned to let go, and the obsession in his previous life is gradually fading, but he still feels warm because of his momentary tenderness.
Maybe her heart is too cold and hard in this life, so that a little warmth will be multiplied in her heart, and that little feeling will come more clearly.
"Then you guess it's going to be over, many feelings start with a thought, today you feel reluctant to me, tomorrow you will tolerate me, and the day after tomorrow you will not be able to let go of me. Qin Ruobai smiled mischievously, and the curved arc between his eyebrows and eyes was full of sweetness.
On weekdays, I don't feel that there is anything to be reluctant to, and if I say goodbye today, I need to wait until the end of the year, that is, a month later, and a month before marriage, unmarried couples are not allowed to meet.
Baili Yu did not refute, but tightened the hand that hugged Qin Ruobai's waist, if it was just pure love, he would already have a point of love for Qin Ruobai, similar to the extent that anyone let him leave her, he would be impatient.
After a long while, Qin Ruobai still didn't hear any reaction from him, only to find that his breathing had gradually calmed down, and he had obviously fallen asleep.
Qin Ruobai pulled away the hand that was pressed on his waist, got up lightly, moved his upper body, which was sore, because of the wrong posture, and tucked the corners of the Baili Imperial Capital, and then picked up the cloak hanging on the back of the chair and walked out.
As soon as he went out, the sky was full of fine snow, sprinkled with water, and the cold wind blew, Qin Ruobai was excited, wrapped himself in a cloak in his hand, took the bamboo umbrella handed by the maid on the side, and went out alone.
Halfway through, Peanut slipped out of that corner of the house, stepped forward to take the bamboo umbrella for Qin Ruobai, Qin Ruobai's hand exposed to the air, and quickly retracted into the cloak, and it was only a while, and the palm of his hand was completely cold.
Qin Ruobai felt the cold wind constantly pouring into the gap between the hems of his clothes, and muttered a complaint: "Hell, it's so cold, hurry home." ”
Dressed neatly dressed peanuts, there is no consciousness of being exposed to the wind and snow, and his hands and feet are warm, it is difficult to understand what Qin Ruobai feels when he is afraid of winter.
After Qin Ruobai glanced at Peanut, he couldn't bear to look away, how could there be such a big difference between people, God must have forgotten to add a fire to her.
——
Sleep until you wake up naturally, you don't even need time to ease your thoughts, you are already awake naturally, Baili Yu looked down at the empty embrace, and the feeling of loss passed by in a flash.
There are traces of sweat all over his body, as if he has just been fished out of the water, and the surprise is that the whole person is transparent from the inside out, but when he got up, he reminded him with a little fluttering feeling that he had been splashed with ice water before, which caused him to have a fever.
The chief guard and personal servant who heard the movement knocked on the door and asked, "Lord Wang, the soup has always been prepared, but do you want to bathe immediately?"
Baili Yu's hoarse voice due to illness was also relieved a lot, and he touched the kettle on the table, which had become cold, and added an order: "By the way, bring some warm water to drink." ”
It's not that there is no one available in the palace, but Baili Yu's own problem, he can do many things himself, and there is no one left in the house to serve.
The chief of the guard was a man after all, and he didn't think about the fact that the patient would wake up thirsty, but some of the things he couldn't think of were that someone would help him remember, and after writing down what the master wanted, let people fill the soup pool.
After washing up and eating the meals prepared in the kitchen, Baili Yucai finally felt that the whole person had come to life, and the original feeling of being light and fluttering finally fell silent.
"Can you hear the relationship between Xicheng clearly?"
The chief of the guard hesitated for a moment, and he was better to continue to serve as a councilor, but he didn't dare to disobey the order, "It's difficult to sort out the relationship in the secret of Xicheng, but a group of ruffians also have a boundary. ”
No matter where there are, there are gangs and factions, and those that can survive in the end show that they have a relationship of interest with everyone, otherwise no one would want to be ruled by a group of ruffians.
After the rectification of Xicheng, the public will naturally have subsidies, and ordinary people may be happy, but the local snakes who gather together must not want their own interests to be impacted, and the martial law of order is already very difficult for them, and now they have to empty the last room, which is like cutting off their lives, which is completely unbearable.
"How to divide it?" Baili Yu's fingers resting casually on the side of the chair tapped slightly.
Xicheng is really difficult to do, the lower the bottom line, the more difficult it is to mess with, and the difficulty of the little ghost has always been the top priority that the predecessors reminded the future generations to pay attention to, and he will not underestimate the people who come out there.
In fact, if you want to divide it, it is divided into two parts, one is the gambling house led by Lin Xiao, and the other is Zhai Yinglong's human trafficking business. ”
When the chief guard talked about Zhai Yinglong, his tone was obviously heavy, and he didn't know if he didn't check, and the newcomers in several big tooth shops were all from Zhai Yinglong.
If you are controlled by some people, it is easy to place chess pieces in the homes of some people, and the consequences can be unimaginable.
The same news was also sent to Qin Ruobai's Tingxue Xiaozhu, since Xicheng wants to rectify, no matter how much these people resist, they still have to back down in the end, and no one wants to go against the public, this is like an egg hitting a stone, and smart people generally don't do what they want to do.
But Zhai Yinglong's business obviously touched the brows of the public family, except for running away, it is death, and he may not be able to take him for a while, but it does not mean that he can always nest in the corner of Xicheng.
No matter how short Qin Ruobai is, he will not set his eyes on Zhai Yinglong, what she wants to seek is Lin Xiao in the gambling house, the other party must not want the business to be gone, and the most important thing is that his current situation is very embarrassing, and if he is not careful, he will be pulled by the people on Zhai Yinglong's side to block the front, facing the people of the public family.
Who makes Lin Xiao's background not as complicated as Zhai Yinglong, it is easy to be pushed up by Zhai Yinglong, who is determined to fight hundreds of miles, Qin Ruobai herself belongs to the fourth party, what she needs to do is to abduct people as soon as possible when everyone is still deadlocked.
A month later, the opportunity was soon delivered to the eyes, Huimei Building opened, Qin Ruobai ordered people to buy the other two green buildings on the side of Huimei Building at a high price, expanding the scale of the entire Huimei Building, divided into several areas, including a gambling house for entertainment.
Qin Ruobai's methods have always been rough, and he quickly arrested all the people close to Lin Xiao, and asked Lin Xiao to go to the outskirts of the city alone to make a deal.
In the cabin that was now built, Qin Ruobai pointed at Lin Xiao's cute little fat son with a sword, and smiled at Lin Xiao and said, "Either I slaughter them, or you transfer from Xicheng to my territory to do things for me, and you don't accept any nonsense." ”
Lin Xiao blocked his throat in one breath, stared at Qin Ruobai, couldn't say a word, his eyes were full of scarlet, for three days, the people around him were arrested one after another, and he was in a clueless torment, and finally waited for someone to send a letter, but he was faced with this choice.
Xicheng is about to change, there are many people who recruit him, and before he can choose slowly, something like this happened, and he rushed up to kill the other party.
"As a wicked person, I don't need your loyalty, I just need your obedience, after all, I only see short-term benefits from you, your group of people is not very numerous, and your physical fitness is not high enough, and the invitation will be handed to you just to use you as a stumbling block to hinder the rectification of Xicheng, that is, the meaning of the pawn, I think you should understand what I mean. ”
Qin Ruobai is really short of people, and her own training is not as good as that of an experienced one, just like it is a truth that she bought the original Minghuaxuan, and the two goods in front of her really thought that it was a sincere invitation to throw an olive branch to him.
As everyone knows, many of them are from Zhai Yinglong's arrangement, and then the people sent by the strategists under King Yue, these people are all the same idea, Lin Xiao is better left and right, whether Zhai Yinglong wants to test Baili Yu, or King Yue wants to cause civil unrest and create a stain on Baili Yu's reputation, Lin Xiao's final result is a dead end.
Peanut's knife was across Lin Xiao's neck, and his tone was like the ubiquitous wind and snow in the northern winter, Lin Xiao listened to the details of the other party's analysis, and the hand holding the knife was a twitch.
"Then why do I believe you?" Lin Xiao's voice contained the nervousness that he himself had no chance to spare, because he knew that since this person was willing to make a clear decision for him, it meant that the other party was willing to give him a way to live, but he was afraid that this was also a means for the nobles to do the opposite.
