There was silence in the small brick and wood courtyard. When the sound of hooves and hiss of the wind tore apart the night, Leng Fengyi, who was dressed in a green Luo skirt, was lying on the couch without blood, her face full of tears as if she had been wronged, and her whispers were low, like crying and complaining. His left arm was wrapped in a heavy white veil. The maids had already cleaned the house, but the strong smell of blood stuck to the air and refused to leave.

On the table, there is a bloody silk book, mottled. Chu Tao took it and read it, and he was used to seeing life and death, and he unconsciously trembled his eyebrows: "The yellow flowers are late, the fence is sparse, and I ask where is the Mountain League? Cold on the spring road!"

The despair and pain between the lines are more like a blame, hitting his heart.

While everyone was busy, she went to the back kitchen to get a knife and bolted the door...... There were four or five wounds on the wrists, all of which were deep. Zhao Lin followed behind, gasping for breath and explaining. All the way before, Chu Tao drove with a flying horse, leaving him far behind.

But Chu Tao silently rolled up the silk book and waved his hand to show that he knew. And everybody withdrew. He relieved Bai Yu and sat on the edge of the couch, probed her neck, and then looked at the haggard face of the beautiful woman, and sighed loudly: "There is labor to come." ”

"There is a saying: mourning is greater than heart death. It is difficult for doctors to cure heart diseases. Zhao Lin said dissatisfiedly, "No matter what, it is not a good idea for you to let a woman who has lost her reputation stay empty in this small courtyard." ”

"Mingjie?" Chu Tao only felt a thorn in his heart, and frowned slightly.

Zhao Lin said angrily: "How many obscene nonsense are coming out of the streets these days, can you not hear it? Even if the white-clothed holy envoy didn't do anything to her, those gossips were enough to drown any woman." What's more, now she is not with her husband, but by her old lover's side, how many people are waiting to arrange the story behind it, can you not know? If you really don't know, ask the scholars of Ningxiang Pavilion. ”

Chu Tao didn't defend anything, just gently brushed her scattered forehead hair with his hand. Spreading rumors and causing trouble, this is the usual method of the white-clothed holy envoy. It didn't matter if he was surprised or not, but he seemed to have forgotten that Leng Fengyi was an arrogant woman. He should have expected in advance that some of the methods of killing without seeing blood were far more sophisticated than the sword.

"Chu ......" She woke up at the right time, as if she was awakened by some power. Immediately, it was as if a flame of light bloomed in the pupils, and it was reborn from the skin of depression and embarrassment. The smile of anticipation is like a long drought and a rain. "Chu, I know, you must ...... Will definitely come. ”

There is no fragrance of tea, and there is no murmuring of the piano, who would have thought that talking face-to-face again would be so face-to-face.

"Are the old injuries better? The rivers and lakes are dangerous, fighting with the white-clothed holy envoy, taking care of themselves. ”

The eagerness to the misplaced greeting could not melt the ice between his brows, but was frozen into a sigh: "Why bother?

"If that's not the case, why would you come?" she struggled to sit up, her voice falling with tears streaming down her eyes.

The lights were beating, and the long figure was silent, and she had never been able to deceive her, so it was better to save perfunctory.

Leng Fengyi is down and down today, and she has long been a laughing stock in the rivers and lakes. I know that I am unbearable, and I don't ask for your mercy, and I don't care about my old friends, I just want to see the person who saved me. She reached out and tried to grab him by the sleeve, but he was already two steps away. Purple silk swept past the fingertips, in vain.

"It is the Illumination that saves you. ”

"That's what you commanded. Who would dare to place me on the South Bank but you?"

Chu Tao tilted his head slightly, not wanting to argue anymore.

A smile tugged at the corner of Feng Yi's tearful eyes: "You have always been like this, and you have always carried the things that you have identified, even if the sky falls." I'm in a lot of trouble this time. The people in the rivers and lakes on the south bank are silent, because they are not good at refuting your face. The rest of the parties did not dare to act, also because they were afraid of you. Chu, I know that Leng Fengyi can still have a breath today, all because of your strength. But you can stop the sword, you can't stop the gossip - it's like a quagmire, and it will only sink you deeper and deeper. ”

However, the page has long been turned. Looking at Chu Tao's unresponsive back, his face turned into frost with embarrassment.

Feng Yi had no choice but to go straight in: "I think I should tell you that this time the mountain road is in distress, I didn't expect to fall into Li Luo's way." Li Luo was born in the Blood Ghost Hall and has always been loyal to Qin Xiao, so when I saw Li Luo, I thought that I had the help of the Qin family, so I was relieved to follow him to lead the way, thinking that I could get rid of the tracking of the white-clothed holy envoy, who knew that he was actually acting for the tiger and deceived our group, until the edge of the cliff in the deep mountain, he suddenly revealed his true form, and the white-clothed holy envoy was sandwiched from all sides......"

"Li Luo is dead, Qin Xiao did it. Feng Yi didn't finish his words, and Chu Tao had already interrupted the topic.

Feng Yi pondered for a long time before saying: "Then Qin Xiao should know everything? It stands to reason that Jiang Shaoyun and the Qin family are feuding, and he Qin Xiao can still sit still? There must be an article in it." ”

Chu Tao glanced at her and said thoughtfully: "You know the old man's personality better than me. ”

"So where does the South Shore go from here?"

"You can rest in peace, and I'll take care of it. Chu Tao was reluctant to answer more.

Feng Yi seemed to hear a trace of impatience, and said gloomily: "Then I always have the right to know how you have arranged me!"

"Recuperate. ”

"Healing?"

"If you are willing to return north, I will send a ship ......"

"What if I don't want to?"

Chu Tao didn't seem to expect Leng Fengyi to be so pressing, and finally faced her and stared at her for a long time: "You can go elsewhere, if I can guarantee your safety, I should do my best." ”

"Not somewhere else, just here?" a delicate smile appeared on her face, but she didn't notice that Chu Tao had secretly clenched his fists. She said to herself: "If you want to point your sword at the Beacon Fire Ridge, I will help you, even if you don't have to make suggestions, practice a long river chant, and retreat the enemy together." ”

Chu Tao suddenly looked cold as a knife: "Think this is your Qi family's backyard?"

Feng Yi was obviously taken aback by the sudden sense of foreboding, and stared at Chu Tao in astonishment.

Chu Tao's low voice echoed in the air: "I don't have any plans to cooperate with the Qi family, including you." ”

Feng Yi leaned softly on the bed as if she had been struck by lightning, her lips were open, but she didn't make a sound. She saw that Chu Tao's face was paler than the wall. Suddenly, I felt that the cold air was freezing all around, and the cold was pressing, and I didn't feel that I hugged the futon tightly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhao Lin hurriedly said: "What the head of Chu means is that Mrs. Leng will inevitably be weak after being injured, and she can only turn the crisis into safety if she calms down and recuperates, so it is not suitable to set foot in the rivers and lakes." ”

"Nope. The corners of Feng Yi's mouth bloomed with a wry smile, and her tone was sad and sad: "He is in a hurry to clear up his involvement, how can he be involved with me, the leader of the South Shore Alliance, who does not know how to respect himself? What's more, the remnants of the flowers are falling into the mud, today Leng Fengyi has long been an abandoned woman of others, an unclean woman, how can he get into his eyes Chu Tao?"

"Oh, Master Chu personally went to the danger to save you from the clutches, and he is concerned about ......"

"Stop!" Chu Tao scolded sharply, making Li Zhaolin tremble. But in an instant, he calmed down: "It's not moral." The affairs of the south bank, of course, cannot be mixed up with the young lady of the Qi family. I don't hold grudges, but the people of the South Shore remember everything. At this juncture, in order to avoid trouble, the young lady please respect herself. ”

Feng Yi suddenly burst into tears, gritted her teeth and glared at Chu Tao angrily: "When have I ever had no self-respect?"

The frost-like aura instantly enveloped the entire room. Li Zhaolin instantly felt that Chu Tao was clearly not here to comfort people, but to add firewood to the fire. "I'm sorry. Chu Tao also consciously lost his speech, standing with his back to the corner of the wall.

She still glared at him angrily, and smiled hatefully: "Since I don't think I have self-respect, why should I save me? Could it be that I deliberately let me see the Qi family ruined and die, and see Yingshi suffering for me? You promised me to take care of Yingshi but broke your promise, you knew that Shen Yanfei had ulterior motives but did not move, and you trapped me here and ignored me, why?"

Chu Tao just looked at Zhaolin lightly, Zhaolin scratched his head embarrassedly, as if he was cheeky to excuse him, Leng Fengyi would know about Yingshi's murder sooner or later, and it was no wonder that he was not surprised. However, Chu Tao didn't want to blame Zhao Lin at all, and he didn't want to defend anything. But behind the indifference, anger has been piling up.

Feng Yi ignored Chu Tao's concessions, and scolded even louder: "What kind of life and death rescue? Doctor Li, a person like him is just sanctimonious." I'm just a bargaining chip for him and Shen Yanfei to trade with each other. You help him gain a foothold on the north shore, and he destroys the Qi family for you, what a perfect strategy!" Feng Yi was almost hysterical, and the madness was fermenting uncontrollably. Leng Fengyi, who rejected you back then, suffered retribution, her family was ruined, she had nothing, she was tortured, almost desperate, all her self-esteem was trampled on, just to keep the agreement with you! I regret why I didn't take refuge in Jiang Shaoyun!"

There was a loud bang, and the table was almost shattered.

Leng Fengyi was silent, and even her breathing paused for a moment.

Li Zhaolin was extremely embarrassed, as if his eyes were full of eyes and there was nowhere to hide, so he clumsily moved out of the door.

Under the anger, Chu Tao's fists and muscles burst out, as if he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his chest. She stared at him blankly, fear and grief blended, but she could not say a word.

"Agitation. He spat out those three words lightly, and then looked at her coldly.

It was as if all the emotions had been exposed, all the scheming had failed, Feng Yi's face flushed, and in a moment, there was nothing left to do.

Chu Tao sat back at the table and faced her face to face: "There are no outsiders, you and I are open and honest." You are very smart, no matter how tense the situation in the rivers and lakes is, you can see through it at a glance. But sooner or later, you will be set on fire. I know that you chose such an opportunity to come to me, it must be because you have sensed that a war is inevitable on the south bank, and meddling in all the affairs of the south bank is the most convenient capital for you to make a comeback. However, you should also know that Chu Tao does things reasonably. What's more, there is not much left of affection, so why bother to hurt the blood-stained interests?"
