Xie Junhe, who was tired all night, plunged into his special seat in Ningxiang Pavilion. Chu Tao checked the little broken silver left around him, and called for two bowls of noodles, a pot of tea, and no wine. Xie Junhe's face darkened, and his feet stained with mud stretched out and unceremoniously rested on the table: "Stingy!"

Chu Tao's eyebrows furrowed like a mountain, and he turned his face away from him: "Who told you to lose the bet?"

"You calculate me, can I not lose?!"

Yan Hong waved the broom handle in her hand and drove his feet off the table: "This ruffian, you will come to stir up the peace in the morning, do I still want to do business?" and then wiped the table and served refreshments.

Chu Tao poured tea for him: "Convergence, wait for the end of the leaves, and you will die of drunkenness." ”

Xie Junhe snickered: "You force him so much, how long can he hide?"

Chu Tao buried his head in drinking tea and was silent for a long time. He must have been thinking about something, Xie Junhe shut up and set his eyes on the increasingly busy street. Early in the morning, the bustling flow of people poured into the streets, and the merchants were either carrying goods or carrying silver taels, and they came and went with chariots and horses. The people in the inn went out and in.

"Something is wrong...... Chu Tao shook his head and said to himself, "It shouldn't be like this." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Konoha ...... Such a distinctive feature, if it had been in the crowd, would have been discovered long ago. Can't wait, Junhe. ”

"But this guy has to deal with people if he can breathe alive, right? How can he be silent?"

"There is only one possibility, there is a place where this strange fragrance can quietly escape, ignored by everyone, and the more I chase after him, the more he will hide safely...... So he relieved himself to kill people with purple ylang ruixiang, and arranged the scene of the murder to be terrifying. He can arrogantly leave us this mysterious fragrance and let us chase further and further in the wrong direction...... But where is it?"

"You want to say that you were busy last night?"

"No...... I just tracked him down as he wanted me to do......"

The more he listened, the more confused he became, Xie Junhe shook his head fiercely, and he couldn't wait to plug his ears. It happened that Yan Hong served the noodles, and he grabbed a bowl and ate it with his head down.

Chu Tao suddenly got up and looked at the street as if he had woken up from a dream: "Where are so many merchants with North Shore accents?"

"Isn't it better to have more merchants?" Xie Junhe laughed at him: "If you want to transport goods, you have to do business!"

"After eating, I immediately went to Uncle Wang and told him to pay attention to the dock. Let the inn be careful, too. If there is anything on Uncle Wang's side, you will also go over and guard it together. I'll send someone else to guard the Chu Mansion tonight. ”

"You're not going?!"

"I've got an appointment for the evening. Chu Tao's distant mountain-like eyebrows stretched lightly, and he deliberately put on a pleasing expression.

"No righteousness!" Xie Junhe scolded, snorted and poured the noodles mixed with soup into his mouth, smashed the chopsticks on the table, and went out the door.

"The ...... of the Old Friend" lowered his head and muttered to himself, his face suddenly gloomy for a moment.

At night on the top of the black stone cliff, there is a bright moon, a long wind, a gentle sound of the piano, and a rumbling sound of the tide.

Leng Fengyi sat alone in the stone pavilion, listening to the horses' hooves from far and near. Chu Tao rode alone to the appointment. Just like three years ago, waiting for him to tie his horse to the sound of the piano, Xu walked into the pavilion, sat quietly, and drank tea. She specially played the music he had composed for her in the past, and appreciated his deliberately hidden melancholy with the flowing autumn waves.

"Listening to the sound of the piano, the wound on the hand should be fine. In this way, what else is there to say?" asked boringly, "You have already said everything that should be said in Qi Ye's tone." ”

"But you're still willing to listen. ”

"The song I wrote to you is used today as a mockery of myself. With a wry smile, he was silent in the cup. Only a little light and breezy arrogance was left to support his face, so that he would not laugh too badly.

"If you don't talk about that, let's talk about the sound of the piano, okay?" Suddenly, it was unusually gentle, and the sweet voice was warm, as if it was about to light up the night. The sound of the piano splashed like moonlight, implying that it was like a thread of love. One song after another, all of them are old-fashioned sounds. But the days of teaching her how to play the strings or clapping her softly are gone. Just sit withered, waiting for the oil lamp to fade little by little, and time to pass. Until he no longer had patience: "Fengyi, stop." The sound of the piano is based on the pure heart. But now, it's unbearable. ”

The cup was empty, she poured tea and handed it over, and gently called: "Brother Broken String......"

Chu Tao was stunned, shook his head and sighed: "Why haven't you forgotten?"

This woman can always poke at his death hole appropriately. That day, Leng Fengyi ridiculed him unscrupulously in private, just because of the broken strings of Guangling when he first met. Fifteen or sixteen-year-old Leng Fengyi had a beautiful and mischievous smile, her green skirt fluttering in the wind, and she cried like a warbler: "Brother Broken String!" He immediately lost the strength to parry.

"Can you stop calling it that?, will you tell others in the future that your piano skills are instructed by Brother Broken Strings?, and who else dares to listen to the girl's tune?" complained as he taught her what was lighter and what was heavier.

"Of course, Brother Broken String taught my apprentice to be famous, so he is worthy of Master Chu's superb piano skills, if my music is unbearable to listen to, others ask, as soon as I hear Brother Broken String, of course, I will suddenly understand!"

"You!" Chu Tao looked at her with a harmless smile on his face, shook his head and admitted that he had been bullied. I don't understand why I can't help this tricky girl. However, that's just a thing of the past.

Leng Fengyi in front of her held back tears and stared at him: "I'm sorry, Brother ...... Broken String", this title that is nowhere else implies the incomprehensible sadness of others.

"That's it......," he sighed, "it's just different." "If he can really forget the past, he really hopes that there is some kind of medicine, once he drinks it, he will erase this emotion. He was too rational, so rational that he couldn't be clearer: the woman in front of him was a cup of poisoned wine handed to him by Qi Ye. So sometimes I hate my own reason: why can't I be confused, indulge in the fragrance of flowers, and even if I die unjustly, I am happy. But that's not the kind of person he is.

A comet-like firework swept across the northwestern sky. The soft light on her face suddenly disappeared, and a cold smile was propped up. He was stunned, his eyes suddenly flashed with awe-inspiring sharpness, and he looked into the darkness to the northwest, as if he wanted to pierce the iron curtain of the night. After a long time, he laughed miserably: "Do you want to turn the tiger away from the mountain? ”

"Cheng Daxia's news - I'm sorry, I have to do this. "She's ready for the wrath of her head. The firework was a signal, carrying the news that Qi Heng was out of control. If Qi Heng left his control at this time, Qi Ye would inevitably tighten the defense of Bilian Continent immediately, and all Chu Tao's previous efforts would be in vain, and even he would not be able to give an explanation to his subordinates, and the whole situation would be in chaos. Glancing at his expression, he didn't smile, he didn't get angry, he didn't move, it seemed to be frozen. It seems like it's just unbelievable news.

"Are you not going to chase it, or are you confident that he can't escape?" Leng Fengyi was surprised, thinking that he would be furious.

"Will the girl allow me to catch up?" the tone was light, but quite raw, he had already seen the surroundings clearly when he came, and if he forced himself to leave, there would be a killer in the shadows.

"Are you afraid you won't be able to beat them?" she teased scathingly.

His eyebrows stretched lightly: "Fight with you? Don't you think it's ugly? It's hard to say success or failure before the endgame." It's better to listen to the piano and wait. ”
