Part 1 The Bronze Chapter 27 The Puritan State
As a successful repeat offender, Bai Yefei attaches great importance to risk in his work. Participating in the night of divine love, the stirring of jade is a stepping stone, but it is also a great risk, in order to balance the risk, you need to prepare the combat power in your hands and increase your confidence.
But if Jiezhi is involved, the whole thing will be completely messed up, she can't add any benefits to joining, it's purely a risk, this is something that Bai Yefei can't accept, however, the crisis is a turning point, and there are some things that he didn't expect.
"If I come, Lao Lu will also come to help!" Jie Zhi Zhengse said: "I believe that only if Lao Lu also participates, tonight's event will be feasible, otherwise none of us may be able to come back alive." ”
Bai Yefei really can't say that this evaluation is wrong, but with his own understanding, Lu Yunqiao will not agree...
"What are you playing..."
Lu Yunqiao looked resistant, and he opened his mouth to refuse, but Jiezhi leaned over and whispered a few words, to the effect that it seemed to be some kind of coercion such as "If you don't help, I'll tell Archdeacon Jin".
Bai Yefei was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that this harmless girl like a little white rabbit actually knew how to threaten and persecute, Lu Yunqiao's face turned black in an instant, as if he had stepped into a thief's pit.
"Well... All right! Lu Yunqiao said reluctantly: "I can accompany you, but I am just watching the wind and sweeping the formation outside, and I will call someone if something happens, and I won't do more... You're just messing around, it's too dangerous, it's not for you to do... We don't know the details of those people..."
Bai Yefei thought deeply about this, this could even be said to be the only voice of reason in the audience, but he was regretfully ignored under everyone's brains and ghosts.
The four agreed that Bai Yefei would take Jade to deliver the goods tonight, and Jade would pretend to be stunned, or put it in a cloth bag as before, while Lu Yunqiao and Jiezhi were tracking outside, finding out the base of the bandits, and as long as they felt a little wrong in the process, they would ask for help.
“… If there is anything, I'm afraid it's too late for you to find someone. Bai Yefei said: "It's best to bring some props, whistles or something, as soon as you see that the signs are wrong, you will alarm the bandits, they will not dare to do it, or directly set fire outside, and the bandits will be chaotic." ”
Lu Yunqiao nodded, "It's a good plan, but if we set the fire, won't you be trapped in the fire again?" ”
Bai Yefei shook his head, "Don't worry, I have experience this time, and the fire last time couldn't trap me." ”
Experience may not come in handy, but there are soil spider larvae summoning on the phone book list, and when necessary, killing people and breaking through walls and running away is not a problem, which Bai Yefei is still confident in.
After the four of them discussed it, they returned to the music room and acted separately, and Bai Yefei almost immediately encountered Lu Yunqiao's protest.
"How sure are you? The rivers and lakes are dangerous, the origin of that group of people is inexplicable, you don't know the roots of the other party at all, take risks, and you will give your life away at any time. ”
"Partner... I find you interesting. ”
Bai Yefei smiled: "I guess you will be dissatisfied, but you don't blame Jiezhi for pulling you into the water, the first blame is that I am worried that I will rush in and be not prepared enough..."
Lu Yunqiao frowned and said, "What's the problem?" ”
"That means... Although you always emphasize that you don't want to cause trouble, and you hide when you encounter trouble, you actually care about your friends very much, and you can't let go of seeing your friends in danger and innocent people being victimized. ”
Bai Yefei said: "Partner, you are a very righteous and benevolent person, I guess your kung fu is not bad, otherwise how did you come to the fire that day, there was such a big hole in the wall?" How can a person like you be so decent, and be reduced to being a handyman here? You... He's a man with a story! ”
When he said this, Lu Yunqiao showed a very tired expression and sighed: "I have kung fu, it's okay to beat ordinary thieves, but if you want to take risks as capital, you will die!" I don't have a story, as for why I came to apply... It's hard to put into words, I wanted to avoid some trouble, but who knew that the more I came here, the more trouble I avoided..."
Bai Yefei shrugged his shoulders speechlessly, ninety percent of these troubles seem to be related to himself, especially his own excuse to recuperate from his injuries, and he was injured again and again, most of his daily work was relied on Lu Yunqiao, if Zhang Yang bullied him once, he should have died at least dozens of times to atone for his sins.
“… I don't approve of you taking risks, but you're right, that gang of thugs should be dealt with by someone, they can't be so indulgent, it's just... It shouldn't be up to us. ”
Lu Yunqiao shook his head, "It's useless to talk more, about me, when tonight's troubles are over, I'll tell you when I have the chance." ”
"Done! Wait for tonight, you can teach me kung fu! ”
"Don't hit the snake with the stick! I didn't say that! ”
Lu Yunqiao said angrily: "Tonight, you have to deal with the gangsters, and you have to protect the safety of Miss Jade, what confidence do you have?" Tell me, maybe I can help. ”
"Oh... I'd like to ask you for a favor on that. Bai Yefei said: "I only know one way to improve my strength in a short period of time, I originally wanted to ask Jiezhi for help, but I haven't had a chance to speak, since you asked, maybe..."
"Help you improve your strength? How? Lu Yunqiao said: "Don't expect me to pass on the gong, I don't have that ability." ”
"I really didn't expect this, but..."Bai Yefei said seriously, "Can you please kiss me?" ”
As soon as the words came out, Lu Yunqiao punched him directly, Bai Yefei couldn't dodge it, he was slapped in his left eye, and shouted bitterly: "Just ask, I don't want to and I don't need to react so much, right?" ”
"You don't know what you're talking about!" Lu Yunqiao was angry, and said: "You have no memory, maybe I can't blame you all, but in Tianzhou, kissing is not a casual thing, and you can still be joking when you tell me, if you say it to the girl, you may have been escorted to the yamen now." ”
"So serious?" Bai Yefei exclaimed: "Aren't you really so conservative? A kiss is so serious, so isn't it the others..."
If kissing is really that serious, then my plan to brush gold leaf through kissing is doomed to be hopeless!
"What kiss is so serious? There's nothing worse than a kiss! Lu Yunqiao said, suddenly squirmed, and said in a low voice: "I heard that many of the girls in those courtyards make a living, but they never let the guests kiss them. ”
Seeing Lu Yunqiao raise his chin, with a haughty posture of "you should understand by now", the corners of Bai Yefei's mouth were slightly crooked, and he really couldn't believe what he heard.
After Lu Yunqiao's explanation, Bai Yefei roughly understood the situation.
The Chiyan Dynasty was established by foreign races, and it was not a Taoist dynasty with strict etiquette, and there was no rule that men and women could not kiss, but it brought a rule from the ancestors, that is, the kiss was taken very seriously, not only in the poems, many important techniques, but also used it as the key to the contract.
A kiss is made, the operation is initiated, the result can be light or severe, and it may even be the difference between life and death, or it involves the soul, and from then on, it is not up to one's own life, so the dynasty regards it as an important criterion for whether it is out of line or not, and over time, it has become vaguely taboo.
“… What fucking Puritan world is this? ”
Bai Yefei couldn't bear it, and scolded in a low voice, but suddenly remembered Jade, the woman she had indeed kissed, I don't know if she still has any memory of this kiss? If so, what would it be like?
For Bai Yefei's confusion, he was in his boudoir, and the jade who was dressing up in the mirror felt particularly complicated, looking at himself in the mirror, he stretched out his finger and touched his lips, recalling the events of that day, and his eyes became more and more confused.
…… Does he remember that day?
For a few days, what has been lingering in Jadeite's heart over and over again is the bits and pieces of that fire, and every detail in it is vivid, as long as you close your eyes, you will clearly emerge.
That night, after drinking the lotus leaf tea handed by Ying'er, he fell unconscious, lost consciousness for a long time, and when he woke up, his mind was muddy, and he heard the man's voice, saying... Fearful words.
What happened later was undoubtedly a nightmare, and during the whole process, in addition to the pain and humiliation, the biggest question circling in my mind was that man... Who the hell is it?
The voice is rough and hoarse, it is the voice of an adult man, not Xiao Wei, nor like Zhang Yang... But considering the impact of his own vague senses, delete Xiao Wei, perhaps... It's publicity!
Later, for some reason, the man suddenly lost his breath, and his own consciousness gradually recovered, and he slowly regained his strength, first loosening the eyecloth, and then trying to loosen the binding of his hands, but accidentally knocked down the oil lamp, causing a fire.
In the chaos, I saw the situation clearly, and then I realized... Ying'er and Xiao Wei were both dead, and even Zhang Yang didn't know when he became a corpse, and the surroundings were empty, there was not half a living person left, only the fire that was getting bigger and bigger.
If you want to run for your life, the residual medicinal power still makes your limbs weak, especially... The current dust and the past are pouring in one by one, physically and mentally exhausted, and then seeing the corpse of Zhang Yang on the spot, there is a kind of laxity of revenge, and it is true... There is no force to pneumatic anymore.
If it hadn't been for the boy who rushed in at the risk of death, he would have died inside, and then... I'm mentally prepared for this, waiting to see the soul messenger dragging the chains...
But here he comes!
Like the legendary oracle who flapped his snow-white wings and descended from the sky to bring hope, he broke into the most blazing fire, answered his call, rescued himself, and... Twice!
The moment he sacrificed his life to push himself away from the fire and was crushed by the falling fire, he even shone in his own eyes!
Obviously ignorant of life, but he made a sacrifice that no one has made in his life, in the past, he boasted in front of himself, there are many men who are willing to die for himself, he has always laughed and listened, I haven't seen who has taken it seriously, only he... didn't boast, just stupidly went up!
"That kiss..."
Jade touched her lips and muttered, "If it's for you, that's fine." ”
Shaking her head, Jade cleared her mind of useless thoughts and pulled herself together, ready to face the troubles that would soon follow.
The group of people behind Zhang Yang, he has a rough idea in his heart, if it is really "them", even if he dies this time, it is better than continuing to be restless day and night...
Eyes swept to the mirror, a delicate and precious short sword, flashing with cold light, quietly waiting to sip blood, and a purple cloth bag next to it, Jade thought for a few seconds and opened it.
Under the daylight, what appeared in the cloth bag was a book, and the three characters of Yijin Jing on the blue cover had an ancient taste...
