Chapter 16 Worry-free

After the lunch break, Liu Xunyin sat at the table, seriously busy with the things at hand, and the child was still sleeping quietly in the cradle next to him.

After leaving Chuzhou for more than half a month, the three of them had already traveled to Jiangling. Under careful care, the blue and purple scars on the child's body gradually dissipated, and he became white and fat, smiling when he saw people, and his eyes were dripping and rolling, very clever.

"Searching for sound. Ember walked in, "What are you doing?"

"Write a letter to Qinghe and Shiniang. ”

Ember looked down and saw that she had drawn pastries, kites, pavilions, and children chasing and playing under the flowers and trees.

"It's ......," Wen Ember was a little confused.

Qinghe loves to read these idle things, and only when he writes like this, he will be relieved. Liu Xunyin said with a smile.

"Sister Xunyin, Brother Wen, I'm back!" Tang Qiqi jumped in from outside the door: "I melted the silver collar and put a long-life lock on the child." ”

"That's your personal belongings, why don't you keep them for yourself? Liu Xunyin said regretfully.

"When I was a child, I was sick and in pain, so my grandfather gave me this wishful pattern collar. Although it only serves as a blessing, I did grow up safely, and now I give him this blessing. ”

Tang Qiqi hung the longevity lock around the child's neck, and he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Oops, no, I can't eat it. Tang Qiqi hurriedly stopped him.

"Sister Xunyin, he doesn't have a name yet. Tang Qiqi held the child's little hand and shook the rattle to tease him.

"Yes, what's it called?" Liu Xunyin pondered.

Wen Ember stood aside and looked out the window, his expression cold, and the wind brushed the hair on his sideburns.

Tang Qiqi smiled and said, "Brother Wen, come up." ”

"Me?" Ember was a little overwhelmed. Tang Qiqi sneered: "Yes, you come." ”

Wen Ember pondered for a long time: "That...... Let's call him carefree. I hope he can do whatever he wants and have no worries in his life. ”

"Carefree, what a good name. Tang Qiqi said with a smile: "Since he is a person who forgets the valley of worries in the future, he will be surnamed Tang." ”

"Hello, little carefree. Liu Xunyin shook the child's hand, and the child was amused and giggled.

Tang Qiqi rarely caught the tenderness in Wen Yan's eyes, and said with a smile on his cheeks: "Brother Wen, when I saw you for the first time, I didn't dare to talk to you. I always feel that you are indifferent and reject people thousands of miles away. ”

"And now?" asked Ember.

"Now I think you're a little human, especially when you're around Sister Xunyin. ”

Ember lowered her head and smiled softly.

"Spring is blooming, let's go out for a walk. Tang Qiqi pulled them out.

"Qiqi, we still have to hurry, don't just think about playing. Liu Xunyin persuaded.

"It's not bad for a while, I finally came to the Central Plains. Tang Qiqi said coquettishly: "Sister Xunyin, you will give me a half-day vacation." ”

"Well, I can't really talk about you. Liu Xunyin smiled and scratched the tip of her nose.

The three of them wandered around with their children in their arms and bought some candy man toys. The streets are crowded with people, so it's not lively.

"Why will he leave?" Wen Ember only felt that the figure in front of him was very familiar, and got up and chased after him.

Liu Xunyin was about to follow, but Tang Qiqi grabbed her arm violently: "Sister Xunyin, we can't catch up with Brother Wen, it's better to go back to the inn and wait for him." ”

"Good. Liu Xunyin hesitated.

Wen Ember hadn't come back until late at night, Tang Qiqi went out to look for it, leaving Liu Xunyin to take care of the child. Not long after, Wen Ember came back with heavy steps, supporting two men dressed in black and wearing masks, all three of whom were obviously injured.

"Ash!" Liu Xunyin hurriedly greeted him.

"I'm fine. Wen Ember shook his head and looked behind him, "You check the injuries of both of them." ”

Both of them were mottled with bloodstains, He Jiangli's injuries were slightly lighter, and the other middle-aged man was unconscious with heavy knife wounds. Liu Xunyin helped him to the bed, and went back to the room to get the medicine box.

"How did this happen?" asked Ember.

"We carried out the mission together, Lu Yi was the internal response, and it was originally scheduled to be connected at two o'clock, but there was no one in sight. I knew that things had changed, so I went in to save him, but I couldn't defeat the crowd, but fortunately you came. He Jiangli rested for a while, and his breath gradually calmed down.

"You shouldn't have saved him. If there is an accident, both of them will die. Moreover, as an undercover agent, he did not eat the Closed Breath Pill when his identity was exposed, which had already broken the rules of the Cloud Silence Gate. Ember said.

He Jiangli shook his head: "Once on a mission, I was negligent for a while and didn't pay attention to the person who released the arrow behind me, but he saved my life." I'll give it back to him today. ”

"If you die, it will be difficult for him to get out on his own, this is just cooperation, you don't owe him favors. ”

"Embers, you know me. He Jiangli smiled bitterly and said: "I would rather be the people of the world bear me, and I will not bear the people of the world." ”

Wen Ash's eyes twitched, and he turned his head away wordlessly.

Liu Xunyin brought a basin of hot water to Lu Yi to wipe the wound. He Jiangli suddenly grabbed her arm, and his face was unbearable: "Miss Liu, it's good for me to come, you don't have to save him." ”

"He's hurt so badly...... Why don't you save it?" asked Liu Xunyin suspiciously.

He Jiang choked up and down from the Adam's apple, but finally did not speak. Liu Xunyin was confused in his heart, but he still gave priority to saving people. She carefully cut Lu Yi's clothes, cleaned them up, and sprinkled a thick layer of gold medicine on the wound.

He Jiangli finished bandaging the knife wound on his arm with his teeth with gauze and walked out.

"You're leaving, but you have something to say. Seeing that he looked different, Wen Ember followed.

"Nothing. ”

"Don't lie it to me. ”

After being silent for a long time, He Jiangli said with determination:

"Wen Yan, after your senior sister left, I always wanted to do something more for her, so I set out to investigate the destruction of the Xue Hall back then. ”

"What did you find?"

Lu Yi ...... He was one of the killers of the year. In the past few years, because of his age, he was only assigned some small jobs from above, and he was very depressed. In order to find out the truth, I applied to the organization to be his partner. Born and died many times, sacrificing his life to save him, he let down his guard against me. After getting drunk once, I asked him about the destruction of the Xue Hall. He didn't have much memory of the task more than ten years ago, but he only remembered that his Closed Breath Pill was used up at that time. ”

"Isn't the Dead Soldier's Closing Pill reserved for himself?"

"He was young and frivolous at the time, and he had seen the painful appearance of his father who had failed in his mission and died of poison, and he hated the Closed Breath Pill to the core. He also believed that if necessary, he would bite his tongue and kill himself for the sake of the organization. So, during that mission, he fed it to a man who had witnessed the destruction of the Traces. ”

"Song Fuze?" Wen Yan was startled.

"Hmm. He Jiangli nodded and said: "When I flipped through the records of Yun Lonely Gate to record this case, I found that in addition to the person from Jixue Hall, there was also the name of a resident of Taoyuan Town on the death list, and I felt strange in my heart, so I wrote it down. ”

Wen Ember knew in his heart that Yun Silent Gate had always acted in accordance with the rules, and would not kill anyone except for the target to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. If there is a cause and additional casualties are caused, a record will be made.

"But how would they know her name?" asked Ember.

"She didn't wear any of Xuetang's clothes, as long as she went to Taoyuan Town to investigate if any women had disappeared recently, she would be able to find out. He Jiangli said: "I met you in a hurry in Yangzhou that day, and when I saw you walking with Miss Liu, I felt strange in my heart, so I started to investigate her. Only then did she know that she was Song Fuze's daughter. ”

Wen Ember was complex in his heart and silent.

He Jiangli said again: "Wen Yan, I can find out the relationship between Miss Liu and Song Fuze, and find out that Du Ruo escaped the catastrophe back then and returned to Taoyuan Town. The Cloud Silence Gate will definitely be able to find out. Have you ever wondered why after so many years, Yun Lonely Gate has never gone to trouble them? There are too many puzzles in this, I advise you to stay away from Miss Liu, and don't reveal your identity. ”

"I'm leaving, I've already lost someone close to me once, and I don't want to repeat it. This time, even if she dies, I will protect her for the rest of her life. Ember turned to leave.

Liu Xunyin was wiping the wound of Lu Yi on the bed with hot water. When he turned around to wash the cloth, he only heard a muffled snort, and Lu Yi died of anger. Wen Ember behind him held the sword with an indifferent expression, and blood flowed down the blade.

"Ah Yan!" Liu Xunyin exclaimed, "What are you doing here!" She reached out to hold Lu Yi's pulse, trying to hang his life with a golden needle, but it was only in vain.

"Your mother's poison was fed by him himself. ”

"What?" Liu Xunyin trembled, and the hand holding the golden needle fell.

He Jiangli silently began to dispose of the corpse.

"Sister Xunyin!" Tang Qiqi returned to the inn, and saw that the room was in a mess, Liu Xunyin sat on the ground with a pale face, and hurriedly went over to support her: "Brother Wen, what's wrong!"

Wen Yan lowered his head and was speechless, He Jiangli glanced at him, knowing that he had something to say to Liu Xunyin alone, so he turned to Tang Qiqi and said: "This girl, I have injuries on my body and can't lift heavy objects, can I take a handle." ”

The sack in his hand was obviously a corpse, Tang Qiqi frowned, and when he saw that he couldn't ask anything if he stayed here, he picked up the bag and disappeared into the night with He Jiangli.

Wen Ember walked over and hugged Liu Xunyin tightly, she was trembling and couldn't say a word.

"It's okay, it's over. He comforted, "Don't blame me. ”

"Blame you for what, he is innocent of death. Liu Xunyin settled down and calmed down: "It's just that I'm afraid this inn can't stay for a long time." ”

"Well, clean up the blood in the room, and we'll leave tomorrow. Wen Ember knew that her heart was still fluctuating, and said softly.

"And so he died...... How can He Jiangli explain to the Cloud Lonely Gate?"

"Don't worry, I think I'm going to leave and throw him to the place where he just fought, creating the illusion of losing both. Wen Ember said softly: "You're tired, go and rest." I'll take care of the rest. ”
