I'm frustrated. Suddenly, I saw Jiang Xian turn around and said, "No." ”

"Why?" The black-faced middle-aged man seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Jiang Xian's disobedience.

Jiang Xian ignored it, and only said calmly: "Big brother, this matter has nothing to do with her. Why should we add to our iniquity?"

The black-faced middle-aged man known as the eldest brother seemed to be even darker: "Third brother, when did you become so soft-hearted?"

It turned out that Jiang Xian was called the third child by them. I was a little annoyed, but by this time, I was still pondering the name of this liar.

But Jiang Xian was able to intercede for me, which still surprised me.

I only heard Jiang Xian still say in a cold tone: "When you get the silver ticket, it's not too late to deal with the two of them together." ”

It turns out that he is not righteous to me.

I've just been extended a little longer.

It was Liang Hanyu, as if he had finally foreseen his fate. Fell into hysterical wailing again.

Thankfully, the crying was quickly interrupted.

The door to the room was pushed open.

The cool breeze of the night was brought in by a reckless young man.

The young man was still childish, but a scar on his cheek was eye-catching.

The young man whispered to the black-faced middle-aged man, and glanced meaningfully in the direction of me and Liang Hanyu.

I was startled and uneasy.

The black-faced middle-aged man really frowned and walked slowly towards us. Immediately, he stopped, put his black face gloomily in front of Liang Hanyu, and said, "Miss Liang, Ling Zun can stand in the business world for decades, and his heart is really tenacious and extraordinary. For the sake of two million silver tickets, he can turn a deaf ear to the life of the only daughter of the Liang family. ”

Liang Hanyu was frightened, her body stiffened, and she stammered: "How, how is it possible?"

The black-faced middle-aged man said coldly: "Ling Zun has informed the government about your visit to the Jiang family. ”

Liang Hanyu's face turned pale, and he tried to explain in a panic: "My father is quite good friends with Lord Chengyang of Qingyang County. He was probably frightened by his daughter's matter, so he asked Lord Yang to come to the house to discuss with him. He, he's not trying to embarrass you. Two million taels of silver tickets, my father will definitely hand them over to you. ”

The black-faced middle-aged man smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to pat Liang Hanyu's shoulder as if comforted. Then he grabbed Liang Hanyu's arm and picked her up.

When did Liang Hanyu encounter such a rude thing. She screamed, struggling desperately.

But her exclamation came to an abrupt end again.

I looked at it and saw that Liang Hanyu's body had fallen softly, and there was a bloody mark on his neck.

A dagger that shimmered with cold light, still dripping with blood, was being held in the hand of the young man in the black face. He looked at the dagger with an understated expression. It was as if what had passed away in his hands was not a life, but a dispensable object.

My scalp tingled, and I felt as if my mind had stopped for a moment.

Liang Hanyu's coquettish smile, provocation, framing, and scenes are still in my mind.

But in a split second, these were all illusions and disappeared forever.

Suddenly sorrow came from it.

Not because of Liang Hanyu's death, but because of this fragile humanity and fate.

My eyes were straight, but I was silent.

My calmness once again attracted the attention of the black-faced middle-aged man.

He casually shook the bloody dagger in front of my eyes, stared at me with interest and said, "Little girl, aren't you afraid?"

I pretended to be calm, and even smiled slightly: "I'm afraid." But I'm afraid, you're going to let me go?"

"Of course not. The black-faced middle-aged man seemed to find it very interesting, and he winked at me: "In your eyes, we are demons who kill people without blinking." ”

"Why do you care what I think?" I said, looking up into the black-faced middle-aged eyes.

"It was Miss Leung's father who broke the mutual trust in the business in the first place, so I just punished accordingly. Blackface said to me in a serious manner.

"Even if the Liang family pays the silver ticket, you will not leave me and Liang Hanyu's lives. I smiled as if to say something that had nothing to do with me: "Besides, you don't have to explain it to me. ”

The black face froze, a little displeased. He stood up, as if in trouble, and said to himself, "Very right, girl. So, guess what's your end?"

"You once said that you Jiuyou are just punishing the rich and unkind for God. I looked up at the black face, and suddenly found that when facing life and death, I was not so afraid: "For me, wealth is just a flash in the pan." Therefore, I am not your target. ”

"You say that so that we can let you go?" the expression of the black face was a little disdainful.

"Nine Shadows is not a monster who takes pleasure in killing. At least not once. Or, at least, not everyone is. I swept Jiang Xian from the corner of my eye and found that he was turning to look at me, his eyes were a little complicated.

"You're smart, girl. You want to divide us?" the black face really darkened, and he looked a little angry.

"You need money, but you never go after the rich. It shows that you have your own bottom line, and in your hearts, morality still exists. "I didn't fear, I raised my voice.

"Even if morality still exists, you now know where we are hiding, and you have seen our faces, and you will never be able to get out of it with your whole body. "The black face seems to indicate regret. He pointed the dagger in his hand across my throat.

My heart sank, but my mind flashed like a bright platform. I said aloud: "You can't kill me, otherwise you won't want to get two million taels of silver tickets." ”

With a black face, he said strangely: "Even if Liang Hanyu is dead, we still have the ability to get the silver ticket." What does the silver ticket have to do with you girl?"

I sneered: "Chengyang Ruogu, Qingyang County, was once a subordinate of General Zhang Jiujie [29]. In the war with the Oga clan [30], he made great military achievements. This person is upright, jealous and hateful, and will definitely not easily compromise with your nine shadows. If Yang Ruogu knew that Miss Liang was dead, not only would you not be able to get the silver ticket, but Yang Ruogu would definitely do his best to hunt down Jiuyou. ”

The black face blushed, and he seemed to regret the stupidity of killing Liang Hanyu in a fit of anger.

At this time, Jiang Xian spoke: "Big brother, what she said makes sense. The Liang family can't be let know that Liang Hanyu is dead. Otherwise, not to mention the silver ticket, it is unknown whether we can get out of the whole body. ”

The black face nodded, and said to me a little reluctantly: "Girl, then what can you do?"

"Let me go to Liang's house and help you get the silver ticket. I said aloud.

The black face suddenly laughed: "Are you really a fool for us? Let you go to the Liang family, won't we have both people and money?"

I smiled slightly and patiently explained, "You can let Jiang Xian go with me." Let Jiang Xian spy on me, I won't tell you where you're hiding. The Liang family and Yang Ruogu were afraid of Liang Hanyu's safety, and they would not rashly make a move against Jiang Xian. ”

The black face was stunned, thought for a long time, and finally nodded.

Finally, even I didn't expect that I would get out of that dark and bloody hut alive.

I never thought that I would have the opportunity to go through a journey together with Jiang Xian in this way.

A road under the moon.

Jiang Xian and I, one after the other, walked on the path among the pine forests.

The night is as cool as water.

The path is paved with pine needles, dappled with moonlight, and shadows.

The rustle of walking on pine needles is the only sound under the quiet moonlit night.

We didn't say anything along the way, just walked silently.

I'm in a trance.

Such a moonlit night, such a beautiful woman.

How can I live up to it?

Jiang Xian and I are so close at the moment.

But it's incredibly far away.

Between good and evil, between life and death.

When he was Jiang Xian, the inferiority complex in my heart made him shine only in places that I couldn't touch.

When he was not Jiang Xian, fate made me have no intersection with him.

.

.

Just as I was thinking about it, I quickly came to the edge of the pine forest.

A few steps further on, you will enter Qingyang City.

It was late at night, and the lights in the city were dim.

Seeing Qingyang City again made me feel like a world away.

But there was a trace of bitterness in my heart.

That period of road under the moon actually made me quite reluctant.

I was about to step into Qingyang City when Jiang Xian suddenly stopped me.

I turned my head and saw the moonlight falling on his face.

In the same way, the first time I saw him, the morning sun was gilded on his face.

So bright, so dazzling.

It seemed to shine into my heart.

I was in a trance, but I heard Jiang Xian's voice coming: "You go." ”

I was stunned and didn't seem to understand: "Where are you letting me go?"

Jiang Xian looked at me, but his tone was unquestionable: "Go quickly, the farther the better." ”

"You, are you going to let me go?" I felt a wave of warmth in my heart.

"Exactly. Jiang Xian was still expressionless: "It wasn't my intention to put you in danger. ”

"Will your companion embarrass you?" I asked in a loud voice, a little anxious.

"This is not something you need to think about. Jiang Xian's gloomy face looked at me deeply, turned around and walked towards the way he came.

"So what needs to be considered?" Suddenly, a high-pitched male voice came, and the streets of Qingyang City behind me were blazing.

I was taken aback, and when I looked back, I found that hundreds of officers and soldiers had appeared in the dark on the entire Qingyang Street.

The high-pitched male voice came from a middle-aged man with tiger eyes and beard and the appearance of an officer.

It is the county of Yang Ruogu.

Jiang Xian also stopped, turned around slowly, and said coldly: "It turns out that Lord Yang has already set up an ambush here. ”

Yang Ruogu said loudly: "Jiuyou has always been in a hurry to kill everything, and today he returned with a meat ticket, and the lower officials were also quite surprised. ”

I hurriedly stepped forward and said to Yang Ruogu Yifu: "Lord Yang, you have misunderstood. Jiang Gongzi is not Jiuyou. He, he risked his life to rescue me and bring me back. ”

Yang Ruogu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Jiang Xian in front of him with some suspicion.

I hurriedly patted Jiang Xian and said loudly: "Gongzi Jiang, thank you for sacrificing your life to save me today." You go back to the house first, and I'll thank you at the house another day. After speaking, I pushed Jiang Xian forward, full of hope for his departure.

Jiang Xian stood in place and smiled at me gently. Then he said loudly to Yang Ruogu: "Lord Yang, even if you are ambushed here, you will definitely not believe Miss Lu's excuse for being here. Under it is Jiuyou Zeng Lang. ”
