In the dim light, the helper looked down expressionlessly at the embarrassed guy on the hospital bed.

"Helper, it's all Xun Qing, it's all Xun Qing's dog...... You must be the master for me......" Wang Anliu dodged his gaze and trembled: "I, I have really tried my best." ”

"Do your best?"

A sneer appeared on the pale face of the gang leader, and it was difficult to hide the hideousness: "One or two of them say they do their best, and when it comes to the end, it's a bunch of fucking straw bales!" Does it work? What I want to see is the results! ”

It was difficult to suppress the anger in his chest.

He roared angrily: "Results, understand! ”

Wang Anliu trembled and didn't dare to speak.

"If it weren't for the big things of the Empty Public, how could I have handed over this matter to you, this waste!" The gang leader glanced at him coldly, turned around and asked, "What about the seven fingers?" ”

“…… Haven't come back yet. ”

"What about Xingyan and Wang Yi?" The helper's eyes were bloodshot: "And what about the Xuzhou Seven Heroes that I invited with a lot of money?" What about the rangers and swordsmen I raised?! ”

"All ......"

In the silence, the subordinates were drenched in cold sweat.

It's all already, defeated.

Defeated at the hands of a man named Li Bai.

"There's only one piece of waste coming back now?" The helper laughed angrily: "But what's the use of me keeping a waste?" ”

No one responded, only Hou Wang Anliu's frightened gasp.

"Send it on your way."

The gang leader waved his hand indifferently and gave an order, and immediately a few people came up, held down Wang Anliu's hands and feet, and took out a rope and a sharp blade.

Wang Anliu struggled and screamed in fright, but it was too late.

But immediately after, there were warning gongs and drums and screams outside the door, and the noisy sound continued to spread.

The helper turned back suddenly, and his expression changed suddenly.

"What's going on!"

"I don't know...... I don't know, helper...... Suddenly, a group of officials appeared, and they came to kill. The subordinate who came from the front staggered to the ground, crying: "There must be an inner ghost!" There are inner ghosts! It's Dali Temple, and the people of Dali Temple are here! ”

The helper was stunned for a long time.

Suddenly, I felt a chill all over my body.

Outside the dilapidated ancient house in the corner of Chang'an, which has been surrounded by the secret guards of Dali Temple at this moment, the fire continues to spread, and after the collapse of the Tang Dynasty Palace, what is revealed is a complex structure hidden deep underground, as well as secret passages and countless secret doors that extend in all directions......

It's just that these life-saving remedies in the past have now become evil ghosts who ask for their lives.

Under the pervasive infiltration of the secret guards, the door to Dali Temple has already been opened, so that they no longer have any possibility of defense, and they will collapse at the first touch.

"Hurry up, don't let the higher-ups go."

Next to the machine chariot, Di Renjie, who hadn't slept for several days, sat on the chair expressionlessly, staring coldly at the actions in the distance.

After a long time, he rubbed his dark eyes, and suddenly asked: "Even if I have been chasing Ji Xian for several months, I will suddenly have to close the net in advance after following the Tsing Yi Club for half a year......

Every time I finally missed one step, I was one step short of digging out a deep network, but the result was a failure.

You say, did I have a fight with a guy surnamed Li? ”

On the side, Yuan Fang looked helplessly at other places and shrugged his shoulders.

Gloat.

Then, he noticed Di Renjie's gaze.

"What are you still doing, go to work." Di Renjie said: "Remember, you have to live! ”

"Okay."

The boy retreated into the shadows and disappeared.

Only Di Renjie rubbed the bridge of his nose and sighed.

I closed my eyes and wanted to rest for a while, but the poem carved into the iron stone on the long street appeared in front of me.

"Is it chivalrous...... It's a good poem. ”

Di Renjie muttered softly.

Knight-errant?

Maybe in the eyes of others, such a character will be much more righteous than a "court eagle dog" like himself, right?

But if the chivalrous man is useful, what do you need to do with the law?

He sighed silently.

This guy named Li Bai can understand a little bit of his hard work?

"Li Bai, can I trust you?"

He raised his eyes again, and without any further hesitation, gave the order for a general attack.

Fires broke out everywhere and smoke gushed out.

The screams and cries of terror from the subordinates rang out incessantly.

The gang leader fled in embarrassment, struggled to climb the last lonely tower, and saw the silent old man sitting there.

"Old Crow! Old Raven! ”

He pounced on it and grabbed the old man's sleeve, "What now?" What about the reinforcements of the Duke of Wu? I've done so much for Uchiko...... Wu Yougong will not give up on me! Hurry up and summon, summons! ”

The old man who tended the crow flock did not speak.

I just glanced down at the flute that had been broken by my own hand at my feet.

"The time has come, helper." He said, "You have to look out for some." ”

The gang leader froze in disbelief.

"Ten years ago, Wu Yougong promised you glory and wealth, and the price was that one day you would die for him." The old crow repeated the promise of the past: "Now, it's your turn to fulfill it." ”

"But, but I...... No, it's not ...... yet"

The gang leader defended incoherently, and in the end, he shook his head vigorously and turned around to flee, but he saw the fire rising under the tower, and the fire oil that had been poured everywhere by the old crow.

The fire was rising.

"Help, help!!"

The gang leader screamed hoarsely and shouted to the people of Dali Temple under the tower: "Help me!" Save me! I can cooperate with you, I know everything, I can tell you...... As long as you save me, save ......."

His expression suddenly froze in place.

Sluggish head.

In the shadows, Yuan Fang, who was struggling to climb up, was also stunned in place.

Seeing the dagger piercing through his chest, through his heart, blood gushing out.

The helper fell, and he struggled to say anything. But the old crow holding the dagger suddenly slit his throat and cut the last words into pieces.

Then, the old crow calmly held the dagger upside down and aimed it at his throat. But the huge dart whistled and burst through the air, smashing the dagger in his hand.

The young man, who ignored the flames, ran from the tower, jumped up, broke through the flames, pushed the old man to the ground, and broke his arm in anger.

The old crow sneered, as if he didn't feel pain.

was roughly pulled by Yuan Fang, landed slowly, and was finally thrown on the ground under the tower.

"Someone! Lock him up! ”

"It's useless." The old crow shook his head indifferently: "You can't get anything." ”

At that moment, he opened his mouth and blew a high-pitched whistle, so harsh.

Di Renjie changed color.

Because in the sea of fire, those who were stubbornly resisting, suddenly, turned their weapons, and without any hesitation, cut their throats in front of Dali Temple.

Or, swallowed a deadly poison pill.

"Suicide?"

Di Renjie rushed into the sea of fire, angrily pulled up the collar of the suicide, and roared: "Where did the goods you sent go!" How many fake organs have you helped to make in the United States? Say it! Say it! Come! Come on, people, where is the medical officer! ”

But the poison man did not answer.

just kept spitting out white foam, with a cold smile, looking at him quietly.

And right in front of Yuan Fang, the burning tower shook violently, countless birds rose from the flames, and the pitch-black crows spread their wings covered with flames, and their eyes were scarlet.

It's like a coal that has been ignited.

Blazing sparks burst out of the furnace.

Now, countless sparks converged in one place, and the surging crow tide descended from the sky, covering the old man on the ground, right in front of Yuan Fang's eyes...... Greedy peck!

In an instant, the old man was quickly torn apart, and his body was incomplete!

"Go away! Go away! ”

Yuan Fang rushed forward, waving the tattered clothes on her body with all her might, but it was difficult to disperse the countless crows. In the midst of the burning of the flames and the pecking of the crows, the old crow raised his head.

The broken face is so hideous.

Laugh heartily!

Until life is gone.

With a loud bang, the tower collapsed.

But Yuanfang seemed to hear a hallucinatory laughter.

In the tide of crows, the old man who was quickly eaten by the crows was like an evil ghost looking at the world from hell, his broken eyes left two lines of blood and tears, and his smile was hideous and resentful.

In this way, it was eaten away.

The broken bones fell to the ground, spreading the remnants of the dead.

"One day, you will experience the ......"

The ghost wandering in the wind whispered in his ear:

"—the pain of this peace is gone!"

The next day, at noon, at the highest place of Chang'an City, at the gate outside the Weiyang Palace, countless heads surged, gathering together like a tide.

Looking forward to it.

When the gold list was hung up under the support of Lux and waved in the wind, there was a burst of hustle and bustle.

For a while, excited cheers and cries of regret were endless.

In the crowd, there was only one person who was stunned.

Looking at the names on the list, it's hard to be confident.

[Owner Candidate Xun Qing]!

"Really...... Really successful? Xun Qing was incredulous, looked around blankly, and muttered to himself: "I succeeded? I really ......."

"Oh, the owner candidate, Xun Qing, what a majesty!"

Li Bai held the grassroots in his mouth, looked back at this distracted guy, and smiled: "I may have to call you the owner of the workshop in the future." ”

Xun Qing was still stunned, muttering something to himself, and if he tried to distinguish it carefully, he could hear the benefits of "monthly salary of 1,600 taels, official vehicles, and free medical ...... in Tai Hospital", which made Li Bai helpless for a while.

This guy, can't he worry about the grade?

"Hey, come back to your senses!"

Li Bai sighed and knocked him on the head directly: "Be sober, friend." ”

After being stupid for a long time, Xun Qing finally reacted, almost dancing in ecstasy, and when he looked at Li Bai, he was even more grateful, grabbing his hand and shaking it wildly.

If it weren't for Li Bai's unprecedented chivalrous journey and the seventy-two superb poems of the Lantern Poetry Conference to make Anle Fang famous, who else cares about them in Chang'an now?

"Don't be too happy."

Li Bai dragged it for a long time, and finally pulled his hand back, and reminded solemnly: "This is the candidate, and the follow-up needs to be considered by all parties, you have to compete with at least a dozen people before you can compete." Now this salted fish will definitely not be able to achieve results, you have to work harder. ”

"That's nature!"

Xun Qing bowed: "These days, I have been reading the notes of the organ left by Duke Lu, and with the organ core left by his old man, I will definitely be able to make a difference in the future." But thank you for that. ”

"Then let's make two more meals of beef."

Li Bai shook his head: "However, if you can become a candidate for the owner of the workshop so quickly, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with me." ”

"Huh?"

"Shangguan said that during the imperial court caucus two days ago, someone voted for you." Li Bai sighed lightly, "Although the icing on the cake is that I am not wrong, but this is all your effort, Xun Qing, don't doubt yourself." ”

Xun Qing was stunned for a long time.

Unbelievable.

"Who?" He couldn't think at all, "Who will vote for me?" ”

Li Bai shook his head: "It's all anonymous, who knows?" In short, no matter what, you're a step forward. ”

Having said that, a figure inexplicably appeared in his mind.

Forever expressionless, never approachable, always looking fair and always cold......

Di Renjie?

Even Li Bai didn't know why he thought it was him, but he inexplicably felt that this might really be something he would do.

But even if he asked, he would never admit it, but would seriously refute it: anonymous voting itself is to ensure fairness, and don't ask about these meaningless things.

It's just leakless and flawless.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sympathize when he looked at Xun Qing's gaze.

"You must do a good job, Xun Qing." He patted the former scrap wood mechanic on the shoulder, and persuaded in a serious tone: "Otherwise, the most terrible guy in Chang'an City will come to you to settle accounts." ”

"Huh?"

Xun Qing became more and more dazed.

"Okay, the list has also been released, let's go, let's go." Li Bai turned around and walked outside, "I also made an appointment with Kunlun Mole in the afternoon to learn how to plant flowers." ”

"Plant flowers, you?"

"yes, can't I plant flowers? Well, sure enough, mint leaves are better to chew than grass roots......" Li Bai asked as he walked, "You said that Li Xiang has a birthday, what is better to send a pot?" How about peonies? ”

"The flowering period is too short, what about the orchids?"

"Sounds good, too."

"It's better to raise more and see which one can survive......"

"Good idea."

Just then, their figures disappeared at the end of the street.

The midday sun shone brightly from the sky.

It's as if all the dust is gone, and everything is shining.

This is the best summer in Chang'an City.

Even though there are clouds in the distance.
