The moonlight was completely obscured by a thick fog, and in the middle of winter, the sky was starless.

The sky was starless, the moonlight was obscured again, and the shadow of darkness naturally enveloped the earth—and the world was dark.

The only thing that could be called a light source was far away, and the light from some red lanterns was as red as blood.

A man slowly walked out of the dark shadows and into another darkness.

His face was pale, as if he had not healed from a serious injury, transparent and terrifying.

Nie Qingqing glanced at the person who came and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"

"There were some minor injuries. ”

Nie Qingqing said: "Is it heavy?"

Come to the human: "It's not heavy. ”

Nie Qingqing was silent for a long time, and then said, "I need you to inquire about something." ”

Lai Daodao: "I only know the things in the Qingzhu Sect. ”

Nie Qingqing said: "It's a matter within the Qingzhu Sect." ”

The visitor was silent for a long time.

There was a smile on his pale face, which was empty and melancholy, like a lotus flower blooming alone in a lotus pond, the same as his name.

Lotus.

This can be a flower, a name, or even a code name.

The man in front of Nie Qingqing is called Lotus, I don't know if his real name is Lotus, or if he is codenamed Lotus, everyone who is familiar with him calls him Lotus.

The lotus flower in the lotus pond has countless petals, and he also has countless faces, no one has ever seen the real face of the lotus, not even Nie Qingqing.

She didn't need to know what the lotus flower looked like, because when the blood crane was released, he would always appear.

"Something. Lotus said, her tone as indifferent as at the beginning, as if she would never brew feelings.

Nie Qingqing looked at him, looking surprised and confused, but she had finally become accustomed to Lotus's tone, so she quickly put her surprise and confusion over again, and said in the same cold voice: "I need to know the news of Han Chuang." ”

Lotus's brows moved, and he said, "He is locked up in the water prison, which is the forbidden place of the Qingzhu Sect. ”

Nie Qingqing smiled and said, "That's why I came to ask you." ”

Lotus said coldly: "You think too highly of me." ”

Nie Qingqing said: "It's not to look up, it's to understand you, as long as you want to know, you will definitely know." ”

Lotus snorted and said, "My hand is not that long, and it can't reach there." ”

Nie Qingqing smiled and said, "But your eyes are very long, you can see there." ”

Lotus was silent, staring at Nie Qingqing without leaving her eyes, and her eyes became even more melancholy.

As an undercover agent, he shouldn't have such a melancholy look, but in front of Nie Qingqing, his only disguise was only this fake face.

"How's that, you know?" said Nie Qingqing.

Lotus nodded and said, "He's locked up in a water prison." ”

Nie Qingqing frowned and said, "I know he's locked up in a water prison, and I need more information." ”

"For example?" Lotus raised an eyebrow.

Nie Qingqing looked at the lotus flower and said, "Life and death." ”

Lotus actually smiled, her smile full of sarcasm: "Qingqing, you should know your identity." ”

Nie Qingqing's face changed, and two cold lights shot out of his eyes, like an ice pick hanging on the eaves, sharp and piercing.

"I don't need you to remind you. She said, her tone as cold as her gaze, and if she hadn't clearly known that she was no match for Lotus, she would have stabbed the dagger in her hand into his chest.

- People get out of control, don't they?

Nie Qingqing is a calm person, she is extremely calm when outsiders do not touch the forbidden area in her heart, but if someone touches the untouchable place, she will turn into a hideous female ghost.

But Lotus is not afraid of ghosts.

He has never done anything wrong, so he is not afraid of ghosts.

- There are things that he knows he can't do, but he still does, and he tells himself that he didn't do it, it's someone else, and then he throws away the mask he wore when he did something wrong.

So, after the incident, he was still not afraid of ghosts.

Lotus said, "I'm not reminding you, I'm admonishing you. ”

Nie Qingqing fell silent.

Lotus said: "I know that you have always wanted to leave that place, but you know the rules of that place better than me, only the dead can leave." ”

Nie Qingqing still didn't speak, just stared at the lotus flower with a more cold gaze, as if he wanted to pierce the mask he wore on his face.

Lotus smiled disappreciatively and said, "Okay, I'm just warning you, even if you do something wrong, it's not up to me to punish." ”

Nie Qingqing snorted and said, "It's good that you know, now tell me Han Chuang's life and death," paused, and said, "Other than that, I don't want to hear anything else." ”

Lotus fell silent, only to see his eyes staring into the distance, blooming with two dazzling red lights, like red lanterns in the distance, and like blood.

He gasped for breath, his nose opening and closing continuously, and his body trembled from time to time, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Nie Qingqing did not urge, but waited, waiting quietly, staring at the distant sky with godless eyes, where it was as dark as ink.

After a long time, the red light in Lotus's eyes faded, and at this moment he was wet with sweat all over his body, and the whole person was as if he had just crawled out of the pond.

His face was even paler, and he looked weaker, but his melancholy eyes were still exceptionally bright.

"He's alive. ”

Nie Qingqing's beautiful face showed a smile.

"But death is not far away. Lotus added.

The smile on Nie Qingqing's face suddenly disappeared and was replaced by coldness.

"Something happened. She asked.

Lotus sneered slightly and said, "Someone poisoned him. ”

"Is it poisoned?" a smile appeared on Nie Qingqing's face again.

Lianhua was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't you worried?"

Nie Qingqing smiled and said, "What am I worried about?"

Lotus said solemnly: "I said that someone poisoned him. ”

"I see. Nie Qingqing smiled: "If it's poisoned, then there's nothing to worry about." ”

Lotus's eyes suddenly became hollow, looking like a dead man, but the sarcasm still stayed in his smile: "You think he won't be poisoned?"

- He's dead.

He didn't say this sentence, he was afraid that after he said this, Nie Qingqing would fall into madness, from that concerned look, the lotus seemed to see a crazy seed, but at this moment, this seed seemed to suddenly fall silent.

Nie Qingqing didn't know what Lotus was thinking, she just smiled, and then said, "If he will be poisoned, there will be no one in this world who will not be poisoned." ”

From this point of view, Nie Qingqing is really the person who knows Han Chuang best in this world.

Nie Qingqing was laughing, laughing without any problems, laughing at normal people.

Normal people will not laugh after learning that their friends have been poisoned, because once you are poisoned, it means that life and death will not be able to you, and now that Han Chuang has been poisoned, Nie Qingqing actually laughed, not only laughed, but also laughed without any problems.

This is strange even for Lotus.

"I don't believe he won't be poisoned. Lotus said, "In this world, everyone can be poisoned—"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Nie Qingqing: "But I believe him." ”

Lotus shook her head and said, "Your belief is too blind. ”

Nie Qingqing said: "Because I understand, I believe." ”

Lotus said: "I would rather believe that he will die." ”

Nie Qingqing interrupted him: "But he won't." ”

Lotus shook her head.

There will always be blind people in this world, he originally thought that Nie Qingqing was not such a person, but now it seems that she is not only more blind than ordinary people.

- Blindly believing in a man?

Lianhua suddenly felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but his expression was still calm: "What else is going on?"

Nie Qingqing said: "No, I originally planned for you to rescue him, but now you don't need it, if it's poisoned, then there's nothing to be afraid of." ”

Lotus didn't know how to describe how she felt at the moment.

Distressed?

It doesn't seem to be.

Sad?

It doesn't seem to be.

It was a more acute emotion than distress and sadness, enough to make his almost dead heart feel a tingle.

"I'm leaving. Without saying a word, the pale face instantly melted into the shadows of darkness, and his person disappeared like the wind.

Two

The tea leaves are served in a white porcelain cup and look like a transparent piece of jadeite.

The tea was cold and not suitable for drinking, Liu Hengbo stared at the cup of tea that had cooled, and was speechless for a while, until Liu Qingfu shook his body, he reacted and said:

"I wasn't in charge of the water prison. ”

Liu Qingfu's eyes darkened, but Liu Hengbo's next words made her eyes brighten again.

"But I don't think it's hard to get in. ”

Liu Qingfu said: "Can Daddy take me in?"

Liu Hengbo narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "What are you going to do? That place is extremely yin, and it is not suitable for girls to stay for a long time." ”

Nie Qingqing pouted, shook his arm, and said, "Daddy-you know what I'm going to do." ”

"Of course," Liu Hengbo laughed and said, "In addition to going to see Han Chuang, that little bastard, what else can make you take the initiative to set foot in the water prison? ”

Since Han Chuang caused a catastrophe, Liu Hengbo's name for him has changed significantly, no longer calling him "Chuang'er", but replacing him with a title like "little bastard", but the cordiality is still the same.

Nie Qingqing knew that his father was teasing him, but he couldn't help but feel red and drunk.

I only heard a shy voice: "Daddy - did you say you could take me in?" A pair of wonderful eyes stared at Liu Hengbo with hope, hoping to get a positive answer from him.

But obviously, things won't be that simple.

Liu Hengbo smiled and said solemnly: "Impossible." ”

"Why!" Liu Qingfu exclaimed, looking at Liu Hengbo in disbelief.

Liu Hengbo looked at Liu Qingfu's disgusted face, sighed, and said, "I won't take you in, not even myself." ”

"But Senior Brother Han will be imprisoned for two months, and for two months, no one knows what tricks Yue Chonglou will play. Nie Qingqing's pretty face was full of anxiety.

Liu Hengbo snorted and said, "Don't worry, Yue Chonglou doesn't dare to play any tricks." In his opinion, since the sect master had already intervened, Yue Chonglou would not be able to play any tricks.

If he knew that Yue Chonglou had already started poisoning Han Chuang, he didn't know what his expression would be.

Hearing her father's words, Liu Qingfu was in a slightly calmer mood, but she still argued with reason: "Anyway, Senior Brother Han is in prison, and you know what the environment is in the water prison, Daddy, I just want to see how he is doing." ”

Liu Hengbo snorted again and said: "This is the little bastard who asked for himself, who let him kill Yan Zhen without knowing the height of the sky, just two months of imprisonment in the water prison, and he was cheaper." Don't worry, you can't die in two months. ”

Liu Qingfu looked at her father helplessly, although she knew that her father was a little duplicitous, but she couldn't point it out clearly, because even if she pointed it out, Liu Hengbo would not admit it.

So she could only snort coldly and said angrily: "You take me to go, I'll go by myself, and see who dares to stop Elder Liu's daughter!" After speaking, she turned around and left.

Liu Hengbo looked at his daughter's back disappearing into the night, couldn't help sighing, and said in his heart: "Chuang'er, Chuang'er, you really gave me a problem." ”
