"Little child, gibberish. I don't know whose voice it was, with a hint of disdain, "Collect the corpse, let's go." ”

"Nonsense?" "Nonsense?" the voice that changed the tone of the voice smiled bitterly, and with the child's peculiar immaturity, weirdness, and frightening, "then you remember my words, you will not die for a day, and I will not be at peace for a day." I, Zhao Qingyan, swear to the sky, this revenge will not be avenged, I will not be a person, there will be no corpse, and the five thunders will ......"

"Shut up!" It was the first time I saw Ran Tongxuan so out of shape and so angry. He picked up his student and tossed it aside, "Get on your knees!"

Zhao Qingyan didn't care about the pain of falling to the ground at all, but looked at Ran Tongxuan with wide eyes, obviously stupid by him.

Ran Tongxuan raised his eyebrows and repeated again: "Kneel!"

Zhao Qingyan pursed her lips and her eyes were red, but she knelt down obediently and lowered her head.

Ran Tongxuan's chest rose and fell violently, showing his anger: "Who taught you to swear such a ruthless poisonous oath?"

Zhao Qingyan said in a low voice: "I was wrong, don't be angry." ”

"I'm not angry. Ran Tongxuan barely suppressed his anger, and his voice softened a little, "Take back your oath." ”

Zhao Qingyan immediately shook his head: "I don't accept it." ”

The anger suppressed by Ran Tongxuan was blocked in his chest, and his voice was a little out of tune when he was so angry: "You don't even listen to me?"

Zhao Qingyan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "Except for this matter, I listen to the master." If I am disobedient, it is okay for the master to beat me and scold me, but I will not accept it. ”

"Me!" Ran Tongxuan raised his hand to hit him, but looking at his stubborn little face, he really couldn't do it. His hand froze in mid-air for a moment, then he flicked his sleeves angrily, turned around and walked towards the guillotine, taking off his shirt and wrapping the corpse.

Zhao Qingyan saw that he also got up in the past, and just took a step forward and thought that the master hadn't let himself get up yet, so he hesitated and knelt back. As soon as he knelt down and looked at the blood on the side of the guillotine, he was stunned for a moment, sniffled, and finally couldn't hold back and cried.

Seeing his shoulders shrugged and crying sadly, Bai Yaotang, who stayed at the door, finally came back to his senses, walked over quickly, squatted down and reached out to help him wipe his tears.

Tears continued to roll down on the porcelain doll-like cheeks, but she bit her lip tightly and didn't cry. Seeing Bai Yaotang, his eyelashes trembling with tears trembled, and he said softly: "Scholar." ”

Bai Yaotang wiped the tears on his cheeks with his sleeve, and asked softly, "Shizi, shall I take you out first?"

Zhao Qingyan shook his head, and then pleaded in a low voice: "Scholar, can you go and see the master?"

Bai Yaotang was slightly stunned, glanced back, and moved his body to block his sight: "Then you go outside and wait first, I'll go find your master, okay?"

Zhao Qingyan shook his head again: "The master has never been so angry, it must be that I am disobedient and make him angry." If the Master won't let me get up, I can't afford it. ”

Bai Yaotang touched his cold face, a little worried: "It's cold on the ground, you get up first." Tong Xuan was just angry for a while, not that you were disobedient. His fingers touched the wetness, and when he saw him crying again, he hesitated, stretched out his arm and hugged him into his arms: "If you want to cry, cry." ”

Zhao Qing nodded silently, but bit his lip and held back his tears.

Bai Yaotang saw that he was unwilling, and he didn't force it, just looked at him silently. After a while, I turned around and saw Ran Tongxuan get up and hugged Zhao Qingyan: "Your master is here, let's go." Zhao Qingyan obediently let him hold it, motionless.

After that, Ran Tongxuan passed by him, just glanced at Zhao Qingyan in his arms, and strode out, putting the body in his arms in the coffin on the carriage outside the door, and about to close the lid.

"Wait. Bai Yaotang made a sound and walked quickly to the carriage, wanting to take a look at Ran Tingtong.

Ran Tongxuan used his hand hard, covered the coffin, and then turned around to block Bai Yaotang, with a faint expression: "Thank you for taking care of Mo'er." He took Zhao Qingyan from his arms and put it next to the coffin, and was about to leave.

Bai Yaotang stretched out his hand and grabbed the carriage frame, and asked urgently, "Where are you going?"

Ran Tongxuan got into the carriage and picked up the whip: "Take him home." ”

Bai Yaotang said: "Then I'll go with you......"

"No need. Ran Tongxuan interrupted him, paused, and lowered his eyes to apologize, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend Brother Bai, I lost my temper." ”

Looking at the alienation and indifference in Ran Tongxuan's eyes, Bai Yaotang knew that he was complaining about himself. The fingers slowly loosened, tightened in the sleeves, the nails sank into the palms, but the face maintained the usual calmness: "The lord of the Ran Palace is polite, it is Bai who does not know the current affairs." In the eyes of Palace Lord Ran, Bai doesn't even have the qualifications to take a look at his best friend, does he?"

Ran Tongxuan smiled slightly, except for his unsmiling eyes, he couldn't find a flaw: "Brother Bai is laughing." It's just that I've been waiting for Brother Bai for so long, and Brother Bai hasn't come for a long time. Now, why let the listening pupils get drenched in the rain?"

Bai Yaotang lowered his eyes, raised it again, his gaze fell on Zhao Qingyan, and said slowly: "Then can you hand him over to me?"

Ran Tongxuan looked at him with a calm expression: "I am his master." ”

Bai Yaotang said: "Then you don't have to forget his identity." ”

Ran Tongxuan said: "I should keep it in mind, I don't need you to remind me." ”

Bai Yaotang's palms slowly clenched, slightly stunned: "Then you should know that the son of the world should not be a tool you use for revenge!"

Ran Tongxuan narrowed his eyes, there was a chill in his eyes, and there was something more. The Light Breeze Palace Master, who has always been modest and polite, is so aggressive for the first time.

Bai Yaotang also looked back coldly: "What? I wronged the Ran Palace Master?"

But he didn't defend anything, just was silent for a moment, and asked slowly: "Am I so despicable in the eyes of Brother Bai?"

Bai Yaotang was indifferent: "How do you look at me, how do I look at you." ”

Zhao Qing looked at the two of them at a loss, and said slightly: "Master, ......"

Ran Tongxuan didn't look at him, but said, "Go down and go back with the scholar." ”

Zhao Qingyan was stunned: "Where are you going?"

Ran Tongxuan waited for Bai Yaotang to hug him down, and shook his whip violently: "Qi Wangfu." "The carriage is gone.

"Master!"

Feeling his struggle, Bai Yaotang withdrew his complicated gaze and sighed lightly: "Shizi, a person who uses your identity to avenge personal revenge is not worthy of being your master. ”

I don't know if it's just a coincidence, or if this eight-year-old child really understood what he meant, his eyes widened with tears, and he said in a dumb voice: "I secretly came here by myself, not the master who brought me here." ”

Bai Yaotang was stunned, and the child in his arms cried again with despair and helplessness.

"Listen to Uncle Hitomi, I want to go home with you. ”

"Master, I want to go back too, I want to see Uncle Tingtong. ”

"Haoxu is still waiting for us to go back, don't leave me ......"

"Master, I know it's wrong, I'm obedient, don't leave me!"

"Master, please, don't leave me! I know it's wrong, I'm not going to run around anymore, I'm not going to swear anymore! Master!"

Bai Yaotang only felt weak, and he couldn't even hold the body of a small child, so he could only bend down and put him on the ground, and then sit beside him weakly.

The light rain, dripping, turned into a torrential rain at some point, drenching the two people to a drenched drench.

I have been teaching the prince of the prince, and I have been accustomed to seeing the gold of these princes' grandchildren, and I have seen the thousands of favors that this prince of Qi has received since he was born. But what difference does his appearance crying in the rain make from ordinary children?

Watching and listening, Bai Yaotang was upset and heartbroken by his crying. So I tried to stop it several times, but I swallowed it back several times.

"Bachelor's degree. Bai Yaotang looked sideways at Shizi, who had stopped crying, thinking that he was going to ask the master again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Zhao Qingyan didn't mention the master again, but looked at Bai Yaotang with those red crying eyes, and asked in a low voice, "What am I?"

Bai Yaotang was slightly stunned, and he didn't understand what he meant for a while: "What did you say?"

Zhao Qingyan hugged his knees and hid his chin in his wet knees: "Uncle Huang told me that he is the Son of Heaven, and everything in the world is his." And I am his only beloved nephew. So, whatever I wanted, he could give it to me. ”

Bai Yaotang wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. If you coax a child, the child takes it seriously, is this wrong?

didn't get his answer, Zhao Qingyan didn't ask again, just raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, looked at the rain curtain, and muttered: "Actually, I know it's fake." Because I want Uncle Hitomi to live, I can't do it. ”

Bai Yaotang was still speechless, so he could only continue to be silent.

"Bachelor's degree. Zhao Qingyan laughed, but as if he was about to cry again, "What can I do in this world?"

Bai Yaotang could only say: "No matter what your identity is, you can't bully others." ”

Zhao Qingyan turned his head to look at him: "Listen to Uncle Tong, should you die?"

"Not damn it. ”

"Is the man who killed him a bully?"

"Count ......"

"Is the prince's official position greater than his?"

“...... ...... to the

"Then if I kill him, is it a bully?"

Does "not count...... count......?" Does it count? Bai Yaotang's eyes wet with rain were left blank.

The child's porcelain-white skin in front of him was stained with a faint pink from the cold, his small nose and lips, his eyebrows outlined like a brush, his eyes black as ink with longing, and his rain-soaked hair sticking to his cheeks. A small child, delicate and lovely, but also weak and pitiful.

Bai Yaotang was actually at a loss to be asked a few questions by such an ignorant child.

Perhaps, it's just because I can't bear to hurt it? I can't bear to break the last fragile prayer of such a child.

"Why did you swear a poisonous oath?" After sitting together for a long time, Bai Yaotang suddenly asked out somehow, and faintly regretted.

Zhao Qingyan tried hard to open his eyes, and closed them tiredly, his voice was so light that it was hard to hear clearly: "Uncle Tingtong will die, it's all my fault." I have a chance...... Save him. ”

Bai Yaotang's fingers couldn't help but touch the wet paper in his arms, the letter written by King Huan himself, and the letter asking Bao Zheng to release people......

I was running for half a moon day and night, but I was only one step behind......

If you had rested for half an hour early last night, no, a quarter of an hour, a quarter of an hour. Isn't it different?

Bai Yaotang raised his head, looked at the blood-colored sky, held the sleeping prince in his arms, and dried his clothes little by little with internal force.

I don't know why, I want to cry.

Whose fault is it that failed to save him?

Who died for whom, who lives for whom is better than death, and who is ashamed for whom for life?

No one is at fault, everyone is at fault.

But a child should not feel any guilt about this.

It shouldn't be, but it's a thought, and it's too late to regret it.

"You want to be heartfelt, but I have ulterior motives. Hehehe, what kind of sin did I make?" Bai Yaotang raised his hand to cover his eyes, laughed muffledly, and his voice slowly became cold.

"I'll take all the blame. I will pay for all my iniquities. How do you hate me, and you only hate me alone, what are you afraid of?" Bai Yaotang's palm that covered his eyes raised a little, and slowly clenched his fists, "A person who lives hard, where do you have the qualifications to be picky?"

"Shizi, if you want to hate, just hate it, it's me Bai Yaotang who has lost you. ”
