Chapter 17: The Hidden Crisis
Chunxiangfang, Yangliu Lane, West Street.
The note had burned out, Chu Li's eyelashes did not move, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his slender knuckles curled slightly against the tabletop, adding weirdness to the silent room, and the young man's expression was obscure.
These people, after all, can't sit still.
As soon as he entered the city, his whereabouts had already been exposed, and he tried his best to kill him, and he did not hesitate to use the Shadow Guard as bait.
The movement of the girl next door gradually stopped, Chu Li blew out the candle flame and slept in his clothes.
Xu was irritated by last night's dream, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he was covered in snow, and the girl's fragile body was soaked in blood, and she was lifeless in her arms, unable to tell whether it was a dream or reality.
Chu Li took out the peace buckle from his arms and rubbed it against the moon for a long time.
Thinking about it day and dreaming at night, the young man didn't think so, he never believed it, and a dream couldn't be true.
Unfortunately, his self-consolation did not have any effect, and he had absurd dreams again that night.
In the majestic and solemn Yanshan Imperial Mausoleum, the emperor fell to the ground in red clothes, with a golden crown in ink hair, and walked into the underground palace step by step.
In the white jade coffin, the young girl was carefully painted red and put on makeup, and lay quietly as if she was asleep.
The hall was full of rune paper, and rows of hanging golden bells jingled.
The emperor was born handsome, sitting on the steps was a very beautiful picture, but what was sudden was that his right eye was hollow and godless, and the ever-bright lamp was lit, which was not a normal person's eyes, but an obsidian stone was embedded as an eyeball, adding a touch of treachery to this silent main hall.
Chu Li stroked his mutilated right eye and smiled with satisfaction, one eye was worth it as a price.
"Ah Yun, we'll see you again soon......" he whispered, with a hidden hope.
The sharp blade cut through the flesh of his wrist, and when blood oozed out, Chu Li threw away the dagger and let the blood flow unscrupulously on the ground.
He leaned lightly on the coffin, his expression calm and willing to die, and his breath gradually weakened.
"I don't have an afterlife, good Ayun, you must wait for me to find you......" The young emperor's voice grew weaker and he slowly closed his eyes.
The blood swayed, wetting the rune paper scattered on the ground, the golden bell in the air shook desperately, the lights went out, and a demonic red light emitted from the lifeless hall......
The moonlight spread on Chu Li's body, and the young man who was in a deep nightmare was swept away by this dream, and the picture suddenly changed.
On the golden sandalwood bed, the girl's petite hand poked out of the soft body, which could hold the hanging tangled cloud tent, but was dragged back by the slender hand.
The temples are loose, fragrant and breathtaking......
Chu Li was awakened by this surprising and complicated dream, cold sweat wet his underwear, the young man pulled the futon to cover it, his slender hand just attached to his forehead, and he took it down to take it down and inspect it carefully, rubbing his fingertips, the touch of his palm did not seem to fade.
For a long time, a hint of mockery crossed his dark eyes.
It's insane!
The boy collapsed on the bed, the back of his hand hanging over his eyes, calming the heat in his blood.
"Chu Li, you're really disgusting." The young man's voice was hoarse, revealing an indissoluble affection.
Has the possessiveness of the little girl in his bones reached this point?
He thought.
But another voice in the bottom of my heart shouted: Admit it, you want her.
Even though he is despicable, vicious and cruel, he has wanted to take this little girl away and hide it since he was a child, and it belongs to him alone.
For the first time, a sixteen-year-old boy looked directly into his own secret thoughts, and spied into the evil thoughts hidden in his blood and bones.
As dawn broke, the boy rolled out of bed and put on his soaked clothes again, the air filled with an unspeakable smell, and he ignored it, leaving the inn and disappearing into the noisy crowd.
"Comfortable......" Jun Chaoyun squinted and stretched his waist.
She hadn't slept so soundly in a long time since she came back.
After a simple freshening up and changing into a short dress, Jun Chaoyun decided to go downstairs for a warm breakfast.
When passing by Chu Li's room, the little girl hesitated and didn't knock on the door.
It's rare to get a good night's sleep, so it's better not to wake him up.
As soon as he got downstairs, Jun Chaoyun saw that familiar figure, the young man's black hair was tied high, tied with only a hairband, and the blue coarse cloth clothes were extraordinarily slim, sitting by the window.
"Ah Li." She hurried towards the boy.
"Why did you wake up so early?" Jun Chaoyun sat down across from him, and the store served food.
The scallion oil cake is accompanied by fragrant and glutinous white rice porridge, and then served with a plate of side dishes, which makes people appetizing.
The baggage on the table was stuffed with a full load of dry food and water, and Jun Chaoyun opened it to see that there were several sets of women's dresses.
She looked at the silent young man opposite with some surprise, "You went to buy it early in the morning?" ”
Chu Li nodded undeniably.
"I slept so hard that I didn't even know you went out." Jun Chaoyun touched his head a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, I've bought things on the road, I went to the nearest ferry this morning, there are merchant ships departing for Qingzhou, I've paid the deposit, this token is collected, I want to check when I get on the ship." Chu Li took out a token from his arms and handed it over.
Jun Chaoyun took it, and it was a pass token given by the merchant ship to prevent the young people from breaking in.
"Besides, I have one more thing to do."
"I'm going to see an old friend, you go to the ferry by yourself and wait, I'll go to the dock when the matter is settled." The boy said lightly.
Jun Chaoyun looked at the burden that was stuffed into his arms, was a little stunned for a while, and nodded obediently.
"Okay, I'll wait at the ferry, don't worry, I won't run around and cause trouble." The little girl patted her chest and reassured.
Chu Li looked at the sincerity in the little girl's eyes, his heart was a little hot, and he got up and left with a slight bow.
The boy put on the curtain fence, and the thin figure disappeared into the crowd.
This didn't happen in the previous life, when the two of them arrived in Los Angeles, one was injured and the other was unconscious, and for most of the month, she was lying on the back of the teenager and groggy, and she didn't remember what happened at all.
When I opened my eyes, I saw corpses, bloody heads.
Maybe she didn't know what happened at that time, and Jun Chaoyun fell into deep thought.
What is it, in her previous life, she had never heard that there was a Chuli force in Los Angeles, and she did not go to Qingzhou, but went straight to Yanjing.
But along the way, Ah Li obviously also wanted to go to Qingzhou to find the remnants of the Xiao clan, and in his previous life, something must have happened in Los Angeles that made him change his plan, so that he was willing to take the risk of going to Yanjing, the imperial city surrounded by jackals, tigers and leopards.
The girl lowered her eyes, thinking for a long time and didn't come up with any clues, the two of them were cannon fodder in the book, and the author would not spend too much ink describing their past.
In the lively Los Angeles Wharf, the vendors who came and went carried their burdens and shouted along the road, and Jun Chaoyun counted out a few copper plates and bought a few hot big meat buns on his body.
I thought that the boy would come back and eat it as dinner.
The sunset was gorgeous, enveloping the girl in a warm light, and a huge merchant ship was docked by the ferry.
The opposite Yangliu Lane was dark and damp, and there were poor people living in the neighborhood, and Chu Li smelled a strong smell of fat powder as soon as he stepped in.
