Chapter 31: Xu Si's True Face

Seeing Xu Si nodding, Yu Yicai stood up with satisfaction. But as soon as he turned around, another flying arrow burst out of the dense forest and went straight to Xu Si.

When the arrow slashed past Yu Yi's ear, the wind brought out also surprised Yu Yi, and he subconsciously raised his hand to grab it.

Xu Si's eyes widened, because the flying arrow had already hit his forehead, and the coldness of the arrow and the warmth of the blood spread to his whole body at the same time.

And Zheng Bingzhou reacted very quickly, and after confirming with Yu Yi that he was fine, he quickly chased in the direction where the arrow was fired.

When Xu Si came back to his senses, he found that Yu Yi's right hand holding the arrow had already begun to drip blood. And the injured Yu Yi's expression did not change in the slightest, but raised his eyebrows at him and said with a smile: "You owe me two lives." ”

In the camp of the Mo Lin Guard, the warm fire makes people sleepy. On both sides of the tea case on the side, Yu Yi and Xu Si sat opposite each other. Two consecutive brushes with death have not completely recovered him.

Yu also made him a cup of tea, and only after he drank it did he exhale deeply. Yu Yi didn't rush to speak when he saw him, so he quietly made tea.

After Xu Si finished drinking tea, he picked up a paper and pen from the side, and wrote several medicinal herbs on it. After writing it, he gave it to Yu Yi and said, "You let the people below do what I wrote, and after grinding it into powder, it can stop bleeding and heal the wound faster." ”

Yu Yi smiled, took the prescription but put it aside, lowered his head and continued to make tea. Xu Si was about to ask him to hurry up and dispense the medicine, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again. After thinking for a while, he said: "Actually, my name is not Xu Si, my surname is Xu, and my name is Yangqiu. The fourth oldest in the family. ”

"Xu Yangqiu." Yu Yi nodded at him, "Good name." ”

Xu Yangqiu smiled awkwardly and scratched his head when he heard this, and continued: "Our family, four brothers, all of whom study literature, martial arts, and medicine. Speaking of this, he lowered his head again, trying to hide his sadness, "The eldest brother was admitted to the list, but for the sake of fame, he was beaten to death by the son of a court official. The second brother and the third brother studied martial arts, both of them joined the army, one died on the battlefield, and the other has no news until now, and may have died. ”

Yu Yi actually knew for a long time that the San'er he caught was not his brother at all, but he didn't expose it just for the sake of the plan. I wanted to ask his parents, but I couldn't bear to ask.

Xu Yangqiu continued: "I was deceived into gambling on the way to find my third brother, and I owed a lot of money, and later Cai Yong helped me repay the arrears, on the condition that I help him do things. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yangqiu suddenly remembered something, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I always show people with this skin, and I almost forget my true face." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yangqiu stood up and shrugged his shoulders one after another. Yu Yi only heard the sound of bones breaking, which gave him goosebumps. But what he saw in front of him didn't make him happy to take care of anything else.

Because Xu Yangqiu, who was still lying on his back and bulging in front of him, was growing taller visibly with the naked eye, or straightening his back. After Xu Yangqiu stood up straight, he pulled his clothes again, and the bulge on his back fell down. After standing up straight, Xu Yangqiu was as tall as Yu Yi.

Yu Yi only felt that there were no wonders in the world, and he still remembered that Ye Xingzhou told him that the rivers and lakes were full of talented people, but this probably can't be described like this. Thinking in his heart, Yu Yi also stepped forward to pick up the novelty that fell on the ground, and Yu Yi only felt this touch...... It's hard to put into words. It's like human flesh, it's similar to the touch and color, but it has no temperature, and even if it just falls from the back, it's still cold.

Yu Yi was surprised and puzzled, Xu Yangqiu also saw his confusion, and said: "This is made of the fruit of silicon bell flower, and I can make it through some means, don't be surprised." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand again and grabbed at his back strength, and after groping for a while, he seemed to have grabbed something, and tore it forward violently, seeing Yu Yi gasp.

Xu Yangqiu threw the human-skin mask on the tea table, rubbed his face with his hand, and gasped: "Damn, it hurts to stick it for too long......"

After tearing off the disguise, Xu Yangqiu revealed his true face, his face was like a crown of jade, his tall and straight nose bridge showed the strength and beauty of men, with a pair of black eyes like a cold star in the middle of the night, and a slightly tender look in the cold and clear, revealing an irresistible sense of pride. His face looks a little gentlemanly, and his smile is also full of uninhibitedness.

He and Yu Yi are like two extremes. Yu is as turbulent and majestic as the sea, which makes people feel intimidated. And Xu Yangqiu is like a calm river, which makes people feel refreshed, and the waves set off from time to time are also eye-catching.

It's just that at this moment, Xu Yangqiu's action of rubbing his face and his temperament can be said to have nothing to do with him, just like his skin and personality have their own strengths and have nothing to do with each other.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yu Yi smiled slightly and made a decision.

In fact, Yu Yi was already full of curiosity, and his desire to learn made him want to know how he did this, but for now, it was still important to get down to business. After coughing lightly twice, he returned to the topic: "So, the trader behind the scenes of the ghost market is Cai Yong?" ”

Xu Yangqiu finally relieved the pain at this time, but he was a little surprised by Yu Yi's reaction, he raised his hand to show himself, and asked, "I'm like this... Aren't you curious? ”

Yu Yi didn't hide it, and after taking a sip of tea calmly, he said, "Curious." ”

"And that's how you react?" Xu Yangqiu's eyebrows went up, and his face was full of shock.

Yu Yi put down the tea bowl again, looked at Xu Yangqiu, and said, "Curiosity does not mean that you have to know, and there will be time in the future." ”

When Xu Yangqiu heard this, his eyes dodged as if he had been grabbed by his pigtails, but he still asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"How about staying with me in the future?" Yu Yi filled the tea for him and continued, "I can help your eldest brother avenge it, and I can also help you find your third brother, on the condition that you stay by my side." ”

Xu Yangqiu only had a hard mouth: "Who wants to stay in your broken place, the sky and the earth are big, I am not comfortable?" ”

Yu Yi nodded very approvingly: "Yes, Brother Xu is ambitious in all directions, but I am abrupt." It's just that you still need to do something for me before you leave. ”

Xu Yangqiu was stunned, and then he thought of what Yu Yi was going to do himself.

Then he interrogated the killer who was arrested in the afternoon, and Xu Yangqiu took the initiative to return to the introspection room, closing the door and seeing no one.

In the courtyard outside the city, Cai Yong knelt on the ground again. Leaned over and kowtowed: "Xiangye, his subordinates are not doing things well, who would have thought that this Yu Yi and his Mo Linwei are so strong, and one hundred and twenty killers have not been able to kill him." ”

Liu Wenzhong turned his back to Cai Yong, and his tone was very flat: "What about Xu Si?" ”

Cai Yong swallowed his saliva and said, "I also missed." ”

He was ready to bear Liu Wenzhong's anger, as long as he could spare his life, it didn't matter if he was smashed on the head by a teacup and bleeding again.

But what he didn't expect was that Liu Wenzhong's tone was extremely flat, with some helplessness and regret: "Cai Yong, the matter has come to this, I'm afraid you have been exposed." ”

Although Cai Yong didn't understand why Liu Wenzhong was not angry, he also straightened up and said respectfully: "No, Xiangye." Killers are dead soldiers, and if they are captured alive, they will swallow poison sacs and kill themselves. They also have forged Bai Wu letters in their wombs, and as long as they are discovered, they can confirm that Bai Wu is the person behind the scenes. ”

Liu Wenzhong sighed and said, "Then have you ever thought that your killer wanted to kill Xu Si, but he didn't die, and he knew that you wanted to kill him, do you think he would still protect you?" ”

Cai Yong trembled when she heard this. He didn't expect this at all, he and Xu Si had correspondence, and if he turned against the water, he was afraid that he would be unable to escape death.

Cai Yong thought of this, and in an instant, a cold sweat broke out all over his body. immediately kowtowed again, and smashed the floor to the sky: "Xiangye, save me, Xiangye." ”

Liu Wenzhong sighed and stepped forward to help Cai Yong, who was already trembling at this time, and couldn't even stand on his feet.

"I have a way to save you, do you want to hear about it?"

Cai Yong nodded again and again as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. Liu Wenzhong put his tea bowl in front of him again and said, "Tomorrow morning, if Yu Yi comes up with evidence and points it at you, you will admit the crimes one by one." ”

Cai Yong, who had already recovered from his recovery, shook his head even more when he heard this, and knelt on the ground again: "Don't do it, Xiangye, if I confess my guilt, I can't escape death." ”

"Oops... Listen to me first, okay? ”

Cai Yong nodded tremblingly, and Liu Wenzhong helped him back into the chair before continuing: "Tomorrow, you will first admit the crime, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is my protΓ©gΓ©, I will let him take you into custody first on the grounds of collecting evidence, and in a few days I will make a fire in the prison of the Criminal Department, and then replace you with a dead man." When the prison of the Ministry of Punishment is gone, you will unfortunately be burned to death, and you will be unrecognizable. In fact, the golden cicada is out of its shell, and I will be responsible for the rest of my life, how about it? ”

The more Cai Yong listened, the more moved she became, and now if she exposed herself, she would inevitably die. Even if he confessed Liu Wenzhong, with his friendship with Emperor An, he could avoid death, and he was still waiting for his death. It's death anyway, and now there's a way to survive, so why not take it?

Cai Yong hesitated for a moment in his heart, knelt on the ground again, and kowtowed heavily: "Xiangye treats me as his own person and saves my life, I am grateful, and when I come out, if Xiangye needs it, I will definitely die!" ”

"Hurry up." Liu Wenzhong helped him up again, "You and I have known each other for more than ten years, how can I not save you?" It's just that before I rescued you, you had some flesh and skin suffering, and you still couldn't hide it. ”

It's not easy to survive, what can a fight count?

Cai Yong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay!" Thank you for saving your life. ”

Liu Wenzhong nodded in admiration and said softly: "Go back today and have a good rest, there will be a tough battle waiting for us tomorrow." ”

If Cai Yong was still on guard against Liu Wenzhong before, then this "we" will sweep away the previous defenses. Because when they were safe before, Liu Wenzhong never mentioned the words that they were his own people on the surface, but at this moment, when he was about to die, he said "we", isn't this just treating him as his own person?

The uneasiness in Cai Yong's heart was also swept away, and he smiled and bowed and retired.

But what he didn't know was that as soon as he stepped out of the door of the courtyard with his front foot, Liu Wenzhong's back foot changed into an extremely cold expression full of disgust.

......

When Yu Yi finished interrogating the killer and walked out of the torture room, it was already dark, and he first went to the introspection room to find Xu Yangqiu, but he still closed the door. Yu also knew what he was struggling with, so he didn't dwell on it, and got on the horse and headed for the imperial capital.

In the palace, Bai Jiangyi hadn't seen Yu Yi for a day. She knew that he was helping herself to avenge her grievances, but she didn't return to the whole mansion for a day and no one knew his whereabouts, Bai Jiangyi couldn't help but be a little worried, but she couldn't go out of the gate of the palace, so she sat on the threshold of the gate and waited for Yu Yi to come back.

After waiting for this time, during which Limber also brought dinner, she had no appetite, and only drank a few sips of water a day.

When Yu Yi drove back to Linwang's mansion, he saw Bai Jiangyi's small one, with the fox fur cloak on his body and leaning on the side and falling asleep, with a warm fire around him.

Yu was also a little distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick her up and walked to the house.

Bai Jiangyi opened his eyes in a daze and saw Yu Yi, who he had been waiting for for a day. She put her arms around his neck and buried her head in his neck socket: "You're finally back." ”

The soft tone and the warmth exhaled when speaking made Yu Yi itch. After holding back, he opened his mouth to reproach: "Why are you still at the gate of the mansion so late?" ”

"Waiting for you. I miss you. ”

In just a few words, the fire in Yu Yi's heart was extinguished, and there was still a look of reproach in his eyes, leaving only distress.

"Don't do this next time, you will suffer from the wind and cold, you will be the owner of Ding'anju in the future, you are affected by the wind and cold, who will help you take care of Ding'anju?" Yu also comforted.

Bai Jiangyi didn't answer, just nodded in his neck socket and said "um".
