Chapter Twenty-Five: Ten Thousand Years at a Glance
After Xu Jianping left, Liu Ruyan put away his embroidered little belly pocket, gently opened a wooden box, and solemnly put it into it.
"Ling'er, Ling'er!"
"Miss, what do you command" Ling'er girl ran in on tiptoe, sniffing hard, well, there was a strange smell.
"If Xu Gongzi comes over next time, give this to him for me" Liu Ruyan handed the wooden box in his hand to Ling'er.
"Why don't you give it to him yourself" Although Ling'er was surprised, she still obediently took the wooden box.
In the afternoon, in a wing room of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Liu Ruyan was sitting at the table leisurely making tea: "Master Su, please!" ”
"Well, Xu Jianping went back?" The one who talked to Liu Ruyan was the dwarf man that Xu Jianping had been tracking for many days.
"Well, the Gu poison has been poisoned last night, and Xu Gongzi has already gone back" Liu Ruyan and his flat tone, as if Xu Jianping had nothing to do with it.
"Master, how?" The dwarf man turned back to the master and asked.
"Last night, the Gu worm has entered a dormant state, and it can be controlled at any time." The one who replied behind him was the person from Miao Jiang.
"Well, that's very good, there's Master Lao," the dwarf man finished speaking, and took a sip from the teacup on the table.
The people of Miao Jiang turned around and left this place, obviously going back to prepare the altar to urge the Golden Beetle Gu.
"This matter is done well, the prince is about to go back to Kyoto to perform his duties at the beginning of next month, so let's go with you!" The dwarf man said to Liu Ruyan.
"Kyoto," Liu Ruyan thought of the man who had told him last night that he would take himself to Kyoto. "I wonder if you'll remember that in the future?"
The dwarf man is enjoying himself very much at the moment, thinking of the days when he has been hiding in Tibet in the past few days, if it weren't for Xu Jianping, it would be impossible to find himself at all with the fast capture of Jingzhou City. Thinking that he would soon see the scene of Xu Jianping's death, the dwarf man felt much more down-to-earth, leisurely holding the teacup, cup after cup.
Suddenly, the dwarf man felt his mouth dry, and a flame in his body seemed to erupt from his mouth. Hurriedly grabbed the teapot next to him and poured water into his mouth. The dwarf man looked at the teapot in his hand, and then looked at Liu Ruyan opposite, only then did he understand at this moment that he had already been poisoned by the Gu poison, but it was clear that the Gu poison had been put into Xu Jianping's body by Liu Ruyan, why would he let himself be poisoned by Gu again today. The dwarf man didn't react at once, jumped on the table and pointed at Liu Ruyan opposite, and said, "You, you, you...... Why? ”
Liu Ruyan calmly lifted his sleeves, revealing his arm as white as jade, a strong fire was already burning Liu Ruyan's arm, and under a closer look, countless brown insects were tearing at his skin and flesh, and there was still the brown bottle that Master Miao Jiang handed over to him yesterday.
It turned out that Liu Ruyan put half a bottle of Golden Beetle Gu into his body last night to confuse Master Miao Jiang, and then put the remaining half bottle into the teapot when he met the dwarf man today. Now both of them are deeply poisoned by the golden beetle.
"Why are you like this?" The dwarf man couldn't have imagined that the other party would risk his life in order to make this Gu poison, you must know that the golden beetle Gu has no cure, and he will definitely die if he is hit.
"Do you really think I don't know? I can see the events of that year clearly, otherwise, how could I cooperate with you to kill so many people. Liu Ruyan still looked at the dwarf man in front of him expressionlessly, as if the flames burning in his body had not brought him pain.
"It turns out that you didn't fall asleep at all that night, after so many years, you acted really enough." The dwarf men looked at each other hatefully.
Liu Ruyan didn't speak, turned around and pushed open the door, walked to the hall on the first floor, and then walked to the third floor step by step.
The flames began to burn more and more fiercely, and the muscles in Liu Ruyan's arms began to burn, then to the chest, and then to the skull. But he still didn't stop Liu Ruyan's determination to go to the third floor, there were still three steps left, one step, the hand bones fell, two steps, the ribs fell two, three steps, the leg bones finally couldn't bear the "click", and Liu Ruyan fell on the third floor. Looking at the door that was close at hand, Liu Ruyan was no longer able to move his body, although his body was already a skeleton at this time.
"Daddy, mother, Yan'er has finally avenged you!"
"Xu Lang, I have no chance in this life, I will still be your bride in the next life......"
Inside the yamen, Xu Jianping was preparing to go to the south of the city to investigate the area where the house was speculated yesterday.
"Xu Jianping, let's go, there is another murder case" Qian Zhutou directly crashed into it and shouted in a hurry.
Xu Jianping immediately picked up the long knife and followed Qian Zhutou out of the door.
"How is this matter, where did the murder happen" Xu Jianping was confused, this group of people is really bold, the yamen is searching and arresting every day, and they even dare to commit crimes against the wind.
"Xiaoxiang Pavilion, someone just came to report to the official, someone in Xiaoxiang Pavilion was burned to death, just like the six dead in front." Qian Zhutou told Xu Jianping the message he had just received.
"Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Liu Ruyan" Xu Jianping was already uneasy when he heard the three words of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, it would not be so coincidental, it would not be her, thinking of the crazy night last night, Xu Jianping suffered from gains and losses.
Xu Jianping ran wildly, and the speed surprised Qian Zhutou, who was a fourth-grade martial artist.
By the time Xu Jianping and others arrived, there was already a crowd inside and outside Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and everyone was talking about it.
"I heard that this time it was Concubine Xiaoxiang who burned to death......"
"It's really fake, that's Concubine Xiaoxiang, the first beauty in the south!"
"It's not, I haven't even had time to see each other, but I didn't expect to die like this!"
Xu Jianping listened to the surrounding discussions in a daze, and saw that he couldn't squeeze in for a long time, so he directly pulled out the long knife and shouted: "Get out!" ”
Seeing this, the onlookers hurriedly retreated, and Qian Zhutou hurriedly came over to greet the brothers to drive away the people who were watching the excitement.
"Is that Xu Daxian?"
Xu Jianping walked to the third floor step by step, saw the hand bones and ribs along the way, and at the door of the third floor, Xu Jianping saw the red purple shirt covered by a pair of bones.
Xu Jianping knew at a glance that it was Liu Ruyan, and in an instant, Xu Jianping had mixed feelings in his heart, stumbled to the side of the skeleton, gently passed his hand through the cervical vertebrae and hugged the bones that had not yet fallen apart into his arms, and cried bitterly.
After a long time, Qian Zhutou and others walked up, looking at Xu Jianping who was sitting on the ground, Qian Zhutou gently patted Xu Jianping's shoulder and said: "Brother Xu, cheer up, there are still corpses and bones below, depending on the situation, it should be the dwarf man we recently arrested." ”
Xu Jianping didn't reply, but just waved his hand to signal them to go down first, and Xu Jianping entered the room with Liu Ruyan's bones in his arms. This is Liu Ruyan's long-cherished wish before her death, she wants to climb into her marriage room with Xu Jianping until she dies, even if it is only for one night, but that is all she has.
Xu Jianping sat in front of the window with Liu Ruyan in his arms, just sat and sat quietly, watching the sun slowly fall into the mountain, watching the moon slowly rise, looking at the little halo sprinkled by the stars in the sky, as if he saw Liu Ruyan slowly walking towards the moon, and suddenly looked back at Xu Jianping, a glance for ten thousand years!
Xu Jianping just wanted to sit and sit like this......
