Aoyagi sat at the door of Shi Yiguang's courtyard, holding his head, quietly looking at the dark street.

Two white lanterns hung outside the courtyard.

That was done by General Bing himself today. Hung at the gate of this courtyard, probably as a belated mourning.

He didn't know how long he had been sitting, and he had almost made a willow tree that had taken root, and the jiri were all wooden. Only then did I see General Bing who came out of the night.

He walked out of the night with his sword in his hand, his steps firm, and his face unwavering.

The black night coat made him look just as good as he did when he left. But as he approached, Aoyagi smelled a strong smell of blood and let him know that it was different from when he walked after all.

"You killed him?" Aoyagi followed Shi Yiguang and entered the courtyard.

Shi Yiguang shook his head.

Aoyagi was surprised: "Then whose smell of blood is on your body?" ”

"It's his men." Shi Yiguang's tone was flat.

Aoyagi suddenly said: "You killed all the participants at that time, except for him?" ”

"It's not." Shi Yiguang pushed open the door and walked in, and said, "I killed all his subordinates I could." "It doesn't matter if you're involved in it or not.

When Aoyagi heard this, his face was a little surprised, but he was just puzzled. Didn't think there was anything wrong with that. I just didn't understand: "Those people are innocent if they don't participate." Wouldn't it be too cruel for you to kill them? ”

Shi Yiguang hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled contemptuously: "I don't know who was involved in Ban'er's affairs." So I had to kill them all. With that, she walked to the table, took a cup of cold tea that had already been cold, and drank it all.

looked at Aoyagi and said seriously, "I've never been a good person. ”

Aoyagi looked at Shi Yiguang, who suddenly spoke to him so seriously, and was a little inexplicable. After a pause, he nodded, and said, "I'm not a good person now." ”

………………

Late at night, two figures in nightwear stood next to the high wall of Qing's house.

They all looked up at the two-foot brick wall.

Aoyagi's face was wrinkled, and he looked at the high wall with a helpless expression.

"Or, you wait for me here. When I kill the eldest master of the Qing family, I will come to report to you? Shi Yiguang turned his head to look at Aoyagi, who looked impatient, and spoke.

She only promised to kill one person for him. Aoyagi chose the eldest master of the Qing family, Lizheng of Nancheng. The man who took his mother.

Aoyagi shook his head without thinking about it: "No, I must go in with you." I want to see Kyungdae killed with my own eyes. ”

Shi Yiguang rolled his eyes: "Or maybe I'll cut off his head and let you take a look, okay?" ”

Aoyagi turned his head to look around, as if he didn't hear Shi Yiguang's words. When he saw a low orange tree in the distance, his face was happy.

"I'll go over there." He said, and ran briskly.

The two of them each climbed into the courtyard of the Qing family.

There was no more snow tonight, but the wind was still blowing. The scraped paste-made windows "whirring" non-stop. Instead of blowing off a few dry branches, they fall to the ground and make a noise.

It's too easy to hide yourself on a winter night. Especially in ancient times when there were no surveillance and anti-theft devices. Shi Yiguang is like entering a no-man's land.

It's just that Aoyagi can't keep up with Shi Yiguang's fast pace.

So much so that Shi Yiguang had to stop every few steps and wait for Aoyagi, who was left behind.

The Qing family is naturally inferior to the Chu Palace, and there will be soldiers who patrol the night, or guards who suddenly come. During the day, Shi Yiguang had already touched the Qing family.

At this time, he went directly to the house where Master Qing was in the main courtyard of the Qing family.

The Qing family is still quite big, and Aoyagi is panting tiredly. In the end, before he reached the house of the eldest master of the Qing family, he stopped. Said to Shi Yiguang in front: "General, you go to Qingda first, and I will come later." ”

Shi Yiguang looked at Qingliu, didn't want to delay too much, nodded in response, and strode towards the courtyard of the eldest master of the Qing family.

Aoyagi watched the figure disappear, and after another moment, he groped his way to another way.

After turning around for a long time, I finally found the kitchen of the Qing family. Aoyagi slowly pushed open the door and walked in. Taking advantage of the candlelight of the lantern outside, he walked to the kitchen stove and stood in front of the large water tank.

Stretched out his hand and felt the letter stone powder in his arms.

He's not a good guy either.

…………

Without Qingliu, Shi Yiguang flew a few steps to the courtyard of the eldest master of the Qing family. Didn't go to the roof, but directly pried open the window and climbed in.

Master Qingda was still asleep, and his fat body made an earth-shattering snoring sound. Let the slave who was keeping vigil next to him sleep a little restlessly. Shi Yiguang bypassed the slave sleeping on the couch outside the screen. Walked lightly to the bedside of Master Qingdae and opened the curtain.

Outside the house hangs a lantern, shining a faint almost negligible light through the window. In this light, ordinary people can't see anything in the room clearly. Shi Yiguang, who has an extraordinary perception, is not. She looked at the bed.

On the bed lay Master Qingda, and Mrs. Qingdae who fell asleep next to him.

Shi Yiguang stood quietly beside him and didn't move. In the silence of the night, the snoring of Lord Qing shook the sky.

After waiting for a while, Master Qing turned over and smashed his thick lips twice. The snoring slowly became quieter.

Shi Yiguang saw the right time, when the snoring of Master Qingda was almost the smallest. He took the handkerchief soaked in the drug in his hand and covered the mouth and nose of Master Qingdae.

When Master Qingda stopped making a sound silently, he took out the prepared rope from his arms and strangled it around Master Qingda's neck.

…………

Shi Yiguang set up Master Qingda, turned out of the room, and closed the window.

Outside, the night was thick and the north wind was howling. When the big families go down at night, a lantern is hung in each courtyard. The light was faint.

Shi Yiguang stood outside the window, looking at the lantern hanging next to him. Shaken by the wind.

It's still quiet at night. It seems to be no different from the more common.

It was a night good to kill.

Shi Yiguang looked at Qingliu approaching outside the courtyard and frowned.

"I'm lost." Aoyagi said, his voice quiet. But with an indescribable meaning. It's trembling, it's excitement, and it's indescribable exhilaration.

Because she helped him kill Kyungdae.

"Do you want to go in and see it?" Shi Yiguang asked.

Aoyagi shook his head: "I believe you." ”

Shi Yiguang looked at Qingliu with an expressionless face. Looking at Aoyagi's face, after a moment, she seemed to think of something. His face changed.

"What's wrong?" Aoyagi asked.

Shi Yiguang shook his head and looked back at the lantern flickering outside Qingda's house. The entire Qing family was shrouded in the night, and it seemed to have blended into the night.

The lantern under the eaves was blown away by the fierce wind, and the candles inside were extinguished. This side of the world was swallowed up by the night all of a sudden.

Snow particles fell on Shi Yiguang's eyelids, turning into a bone-soaked coldness.

"It's snowing." She said quietly, "Go back." ”
