Chapter 30: Breaking the Silence
The person who suspected that it was the 'Golden Guard' found the door beam and immediately tiptoed forward, leaning against the wall and slipping into the courtyard. The room was brightly lit, faintly revealing the sound of laughter, and the voices were Xiaolan and Jiaxian. Liang Xie sighed, couldn't help but laugh dumbly, secretly blamed himself for being suspicious, there were only two kinds of extra footprints at the door, one was a linen sole, and the other was very small and should be from a woman, and there should be no woman in the 'Golden Guard' except for a hundred miles without a trace (at least there is no woman in the arrest position), and the boots he wore were not linen soles, even if the people in civilian clothes 'Golden Guards' were used to showing off, how could they wear such cheap shoes?
"Come back, sit down and eat. Jiaxian said with a smile without waiting for Liang Xie to enter the door completely.
"It's been a day of hunger. Liang Xie took off his robe and handed it to Xiaolan, who took it over and said with a smile: "In the summer, isn't it hot for my uncle to wear so much?"
Liang Xie didn't answer and asked, "Is there someone at home today?"
"Oh, a monk who turned into a fate came, begged for a meal and left. Jia Xian said.
"Monk?" Liang Xie's expression changed, a monk just died in his hands a few days ago, this monk will not have anything to do with the previous monk. Liang Xie was uneasy in his heart, and asked casually: "If the monks from the traveling side don't go to 'Linxia Temple' or 'Jiafu Temple' to place orders?"
"Uncle, you have too much heart, it doesn't matter who he is, it's just a meal......" Liang Xie's face sank, and he glared at her, Xiaolan quickly swallowed the second half of the sentence. After getting along for a long time, there is gradually less awe between the master and the servant, and the speech becomes more and more casual.
Jiaxian said: "I asked, this monk went to 'Jiafu Temple' to place an order, and after a meal, he asked the location of 'Jiafu Temple' and left." ”
Liang Xie nodded, immediately relieved. This 'Jiafu Temple' is famous all over the world, but all the monks who come to the capital can't help but admire it, no matter which sect of Buddhism, if you say that you have no interest in 'Jiafu Temple', it is extremely abnormal. "Who else but the monk?" asked Liang Xie again.
"There is also a beautiful girl......" Jiaxian glanced at Liang Xie and stopped talking.
Liang Xie was about to ask, when suddenly there were a few knocks on the door, and a woman said softly: "Sister-in-law, is Brother Liang back?" Liang Xie heard Liu Shiyi's voice, and without waiting for Jiaxian to reply, he hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and went out.
"Boss!" Liu Shiyi said with a smile when he saw Liang Xie come out.
"Go out and talk. Liang Xie straightened his clothes and took the lead in walking out of the courtyard, and his heartstrings couldn't help but tense: "What is she doing here? Could it be ......?" Liu Shiyi followed out after thinking about it.
"How did you find here, was Yun Lao told you?" asked Liang Xie without looking back, who had just walked out of the courtyard.
"Hmmm......"
"Did Elder Yun send you to call me back or did you come to kill me?" Liang Xie frowned and interrupted Liu Shiyi without waiting for Liu Shiyi to speak, since he had already left, he was unwilling to go back.
Liu Shiyi chuckled lightly and said, "Can't I come and see you myself?"
Liang Xie was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't Old Master Yun and Young Master send you here?"
Liu Shiyi's face was slightly gloomy, and he jumped onto the willow tree, leaning on the trunk and sitting on the branch, and did not answer. Liang Xie knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he stopped talking, and jumped up, and the two were speechless for a while.
"What's next for you?" asked Liu Shiyi after a while.
Liang Xie smiled bitterly: "What can you do, isn't it to do some murder and arson?"
"Didn't you go to the dart game to try?" Liu Shiyi said.
"I've tried, not to mention the dart master, no one even wants to be an executioner. Liang Xie said.
Liu Shiyi was surprised and said, "No, how can you ...... with your martial arts?
Liang Xie said: "It's not a matter of martial arts, it's just that the days of the dart game are not easy now." Unless you know the root or are a decent disciple, no matter how good your martial arts are, you will never do it. (In fact, he had just assassinated Wu Jingguo, so he was so cautious in order to avoid recruiting suspects, but he didn't dare to say it explicitly.) ).
"What about the 'Six Dragons Gang'? It is said that the dragon god is eager to seek talent, is very good to his subordinates, and has a high salary, why does the boss go to him?" Liu Shiyi asked again.
Liang Xie said in his heart: "Don't want the restaurant, even if you go to the 'Six Dragons Gang' and see the 'Dragon God' or the 'Mountain Dragon King', most of the results will be the same." "Because of his assassination of Wu Jingguo, the 'Qinlong Tower' under the name of the 'Six Dragons Gang' lost a full five thousand taels of silver, if it were elsewhere, an ordinary guy might not be able to earn so much money in his life, let alone save five thousand taels of savings, and even if the dragon god is thirsty for talent, he will never offend Wu Jingguo for taking in a talent. He was ashamed in his heart, and he was afraid that Liu Shiyi would continue to ask questions, so he would have to tell the assassination of Wu Jingguo in vain, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "What do you say about Old Master Yun and Young Master when I leave?"
Liu Shiyi hesitated for a moment and said, "The young master didn't say anything, but Yun Lao was angry and sick, and he lay down for several days, scolding you...... It's a white-eyed wolf. ”
Liang Xie smiled helplessly and said: "What Yun Lao said is not wrong, no matter what, I still owe him a favor after all." He sighed and said: "Alas, Lang Zhong who treats the insiders is also Yun Lao's person, it seems that he has to find a new Lang Zhong, but I don't know if there is anyone in the capital who is more skilled in Chinese medicine than Li Lang." ”
Liu Shiyi said: "You helped him kill so many people and do so many things, don't you even want to use Langzhong? Not to mention that Langzhong is not his." She changed her voice and said: "Besides, I've been working together for almost two years, and I have some feelings, take 10,000 steps back, even if we do it, are we still afraid of him?"
Liang Xie heard her say that we were obviously biased towards herself, so she couldn't help but feel warm, smiled slightly, and nodded: "After all, we have worked together for two years, and there are different ideas, if I don't betray them, I don't know what Yun Lao thinks, alas, with the 'Autumn Wind Knife' Cold Frost Rebellion, it is difficult to say." He casually folded the willow branch in his mouth, and continued: "Sometimes I really regard Old Yun and Young Master as a family, but sometimes I just want to get as far away from them as possible. Before, Yun Lao said that he wanted to solve the root cause of the chaos in the imperial court, so long time has passed, people have killed one after another, and those who should not have been killed have been killed, but Wu Jingguo's power is getting bigger and bigger, and it will not be affected at all, I ......" Liu Shiyi listened quietly and did not say a word.
"Since following Yun Lao, I have killed a total of nineteen people, they have children and parents. I'm afraid of getting dark, and I'm even more afraid of sleeping, every day I close my eyes and see those people and their families who have been killed by me, and even dreams are killing people......" Liang Xie's brows gradually twisted, and continued: "Yun Lao is forcing me, the young master is forcing me, Jiaxian's illness is also forcing me, how many times in my dreams Yun Lao has become a ghost, the young master has become a ghost, and sometimes even ...... Even Jiaxian has become a ghost. If I had a choice, I'd rather ......" He clenched his fists tightly, the corners of his eyes gradually moistened, not for sadness, but for deep helplessness. He didn't overdo it, even in the woods with only dappled moonlight, he was afraid that others would see his weakness.
"Well, don't talk about it!" he said, taking a deep breath.
Liu Shiyi looked at him in a daze, his tiredness, his exhaustion, she knew that in her eyes he was not her own hall master, nor was he a ruthless killer, but a helpless child. In front of his wife, he is relied on, in front of the young master and Yun Lao, he is the mainstay of the 'War Spirit Hall', in front of his subordinates, he is the hall master, the elder brother, and the leader of the mountain, but he is also a human being, he also suffers, and he will be vulnerable. His fragility can't be seen by anyone, and his suffering has nowhere to tell, Liu Shiyi understands him, she has seen the fragility under his mask more than once, the helplessness in his heart. She was willing to listen to him, and whatever he said, she was willing to listen.
Silence, silence again.
"Eleven, you...... Why are you so good to me?" Liang Xie finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
"You're good to me. Liu Shiyi said with a smile.
"That's not what it means...... I mean......" Liang Xie didn't expect her to answer like this, this is obviously not the answer, and he needs to ask more clearly, but because of Liu Shiyi's face, it is not good to be too direct, and he doesn't know how to phrase it for a while.
"I've always envied my sister-in-law, no matter how I'm living now, at least someone has always been dead set on her, in fact, which woman in the world doesn't want to marry a man who will never leave her all her life......?" I have met many men, and when it is good, I can say what kind of vows I can say, but no one has ever done it, and I hoped that someone could save me at that time, even if I lived a poor life with him for a lifetime, I was willing, but unfortunately ....... Liu Shiyi said halfway through speaking, he suddenly smiled and said: "So I hope you can live well, just think of you as living for me, even if it is ...... in the future."
"Eleven ......" Liang Xie quickly interrupted without waiting for her to continue, Liu Shiyi stopped his mouth and smiled softly at him.
"Don't say it, I understand. Liang Xie said, he didn't know what Liu Shiyi's mood was when he said this, but he felt suffocated, compared to Liu Shiyi, his fate was good, he at least met the master, and there were senior brothers and sisters to take care of, but Liu Shiyi could only rely on herself since she was a child, and her relatives gave her not help but betray.
Liu Shiyi nodded, brushed the hair around his ears, and looked quiet and relaxed, but what kind of misfortune and pain was under this pretending relaxed expression. Liu Shiyi's inner strength exceeded Liang Xie's expectations, but the stronger she was, the more uncomfortable Liang Xie felt.
Silence, silence again.
The moon gradually rose, almost mid-heaven, and under the mottled shadows of the trees, the two of them were bright and dark, and the branches were swaying, and the shadows of the trees were also swaying.
"Boss, I'm leaving, you can take this money to your sister-in-law first." Liu Shiyi broke the silence and flew over with a wave of his hand, and Liang Xie instinctively took it in his hand.
Liang Xie didn't expect that the money she had worked so hard to get was given to herself, and she couldn't help but be stunned and said, "No...... I still have it here, you can keep it."
"If you want the silver, can I keep it for my sister-in-law's medical treatment, what can I do?" Liu Shiyi smiled, revealing two tiger teeth.
Liang Xie was stunned again, this sentence is easy, but what do you want if you don't want silver to be a killer?
Liu Shiyi didn't care if Liang Xie didn't want to, so he jumped down from the willow tree and said, "If my sister-in-law can get better, leave the capital, and ...... in the future." ...... future" she said two futures in a row, but she didn't continue, smiled slightly and went far away, leaving the sentence "What do I want silver for?" lingered in Liang Xie's heart, and - those two tiger teeth.
Today's silver is extraordinarily heavy, Liang Xie held the heavy money bag, and thought about Liu Shiyi's words over and over again in his heart.
She had gone far away, but he hadn't gone back at once, and for some reason she seemed happy to-day.
An imperceptible 'rustle' sound disrupted Liang Xie's thoughts, and Liang Xie rolled over and fell, his ears on the ground, one, two, three, four...... , There was more than one person who came, and his martial arts were not weak, he was taken aback: "This is?" only to hear the footsteps getting louder and louder, and suddenly it seemed to be in his ears.
"Come so fast!" Liang Xie secretly screamed, and was about to enter the house to get the knife, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he hurriedly leaned sideways against the tree, and a red palm passed by.
