49 Dark Fragrance Sleeves (Medium)
The rich hot tea dilutes the chill of the spring night. Feng Yi opened the lid with her left hand, took a small sip, and tasted the taste of the old times: the fragrance of bitter tea and the sweetness of honey are intertwined, and there are also some refreshing fruits. The warm current made her heart slightly moist. She didn't like bitter tea, he still remembered.
"The injury on your hand is not light, is it?" There was no greeting, Chu Tao walked straight to her and held up her injured right palm.
"Nothing. She tried to withdraw her hand, but he tightened his grip. A warm heat quickly spread through the heart. His cheeks were already crimson.
Chu Tao opened the silk handkerchief's package, only to see the black and red wound cut diagonally from the tiger's mouth and extended over the palm. The blood was still slowly oozing. She frowned in pain, unable to bear the pain.
"Doctor Liu!!" he frowned earnestly, "Isn't there a doctor in the inn?" I'll ask Uncle Wang to arrange one. β
"I brought a doctor, but I was in too much of a hurry to go out. The flush on her cheeks burned like fire. The left hand brushes the cheek, just hoping to cool down, not so shy. But involuntarily, even the heartbeat was a little uncontrollable.
"The hand that plays the piano must not be neglected. Chu Tao personally medicated and bandaged her, just like a full-time doctor. However, Dr. Liu stood aside with an oil lamp and couldn't plug it in.
No more pain, no longer stubborn. Feng Yi looked up and saw his serious and focused appearance under the soft oil lamp, as if he was smiling: "You still haven't changed, don't give people a chance to refuse." β
Chu Tao smiled bitterly: "But you still refused......"
Hearing this, Doctor Liu lowered his head and quickly took the medicine box and retreated.
There was no one in the empty guest hall, and the two acquaintances sat down and said nothing.
Chu Tao broke the embarrassment first: "Qi Dashao didn't come to trouble me, he was still calm this time." β
"I was just repaired by Xie Daxia in the Ning Xiang Pavilion, and I don't dare to be embarrassed again. Yunhe and I have persuaded him, and the sister of the head of Chu has been injured, so he will not let this murderer go. What's more, those two doormen mixed up in the casino, and it is unknown if they were careless in making friends. β
"This is no ordinary killer, Feng Yi. In the near future, I will send more people. Be careful yourself - you've seen him, it's even more dangerous. β
"I know he's not ordinary. So, got an eyebrow?"
"I'll find him out as soon as I can. β
"The injury of the two doormen is not simple. There was a faint scratch under the collarbone, as thin as a hair, about an inch long, and there was not much bleeding, but there was a bruise. This tiny wound expands inward and deep, leading along the blood veins to the five organs, resulting in excessive blood loss and death. How could a sword cause such an injury, Master Chu is well-informed, have you ever heard of it?"
"Pear Flower Sword. Chu Tao blurted out, "The sword technique of killing people without seeing blood." In this way, the killer can only be the so-called 'white-clothed holy envoy' - Jiang Shaoyun's disciples have really been found. Don't worry, I'll fix it. Cheng Daxia, please tell me on your behalf. β
The name of "White-clothed Holy Envoy" is too familiar in legends. It is also a force that has been quite active in recent years. They obeyed the control of mysterious people, killed people like hemp, and swept up a storm in the huge rivers and lakes. And this mysterious person, except for Jiang Shaoyun, no one dares to take responsibility.
Leng Fengyi glanced at him: "Qin Dashao's guess is right, you really want to declare war with Jiang Shaoyun?"
"Yes, sooner or later. But he moved a little faster than I thought. β
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
Leng Fengyi said dissatisfiedly: "But you don't have to make enemies on all sides, right?" The white-clothed holy envoys have always only acted in the shadows of the rivers and lakes, and no one has mastered their traces. If you don't get the support of the North Shore, you're killing yourself. Look at which one of the Qi family doesn't want to take your life now, even your former subordinate Shen Yanfei has never said a good word about you. Master Chu, think twice!"
"Do you want to talk about Bilian Zhou?" Chu Tao laughed and said her subtext, "You don't have to be too nervous, those swordsmen are just asking for news about the white-clothed holy envoy for me." I have to guard against the movement in the Beacon Ridge. If he replied to me as soon as possible about the time of my withdrawal from Bilian Continent, he would not give the white-clothed holy envoys a chance to take advantage of it, and at that time, my people would naturally withdraw. β
"You think I'm just here for Bilian Continent?"
Chu Tao laughed miserably: "Could it be that there are other plans?"
"I'm sincere in my persuasion. Why bother with the Qi family?"
"Why should the Qi family bother me?"
"Don't go overboard, Master Chu!" Leng Fengyi's expression was already like being beaten by frost.
"Play?" Chu Tao got up and walked in front of her, and under the dark shadow cast by the light, that face made her terrified, "Please remind Qi Ye, when my father died, I haven't forgotten how he rectified meβcrowding out, inciting discord, and assassinating...... Now I just want to get back the Chu family's property that he forcibly occupied, and I have his own written evidence to back it up. Feng Yi, you say this is fun?"
"This kind of coercion only increases hatred. β
"Who is forcing whom?" Chu Tao paused, looked back, and sneered.
Feng Yi knew that this was a warning.
Chu Tao continued: "I know exactly who the so-called visitors from the north shore have contacted and said on the south bank these days. The same method was used by your brother back then. I waited for the men to leave and greeted them separately with my pigeons, and they told me frankly that instead of believing in the empty promises of the Qi family, it was better to do their part in peace and quiet on the south bank. Feng Yi, do I have to talk about it this far?"
These people's actions were all under her command Leng Fengyi. Chu Tao was clear in his heart. She originally wanted to use the strategy of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle to isolate Chu Tao, but it didn't seem to work.
Feng Yi made an excuse and said, "It's just a friend, and the head of Chu wants to interfere?"
"Then what did you promise them, do you dare to put it in the sun and say it brightly?" Chu Tao raised his voice, "I didn't threaten them, I just reminded them to be cautious in making friends." If the Qi family still has a reputation in the rivers and lakes, I don't want to speak ill of each other. β
"It seems that the words are no longer speculative......" Feng Yi didn't want to explain anything, although she only wanted to see how the Chu family was doing, and originally just wanted to hear him say how to find the killer. But for some reason, in the blink of an eye, there was so much unpleasantness. Didn't she stir up the right and wrong by herself?
"Feng Yi," Chu Tao paused deliberately and steadied his voice before saying, "If it weren't for the past, when you accused me of making enemies on all sides, I would have swept you out of the house...... How did you become as unreasonable as the Qi family......"
Leng Fengyi heard that his voice trembled a little. It really hurts that she and him, the same.
Chu Tao couldn't hold back the indignation in his heart anymore, and said bluntly: "Tell Qi Ye that I have enough patience to endure Qi Dashao until I take back Bilian Continent!"
"I can't imagine that this is actually the work of Master Chu......" Feng Yi sneered three times and shook her head.
But Chu Tao didn't give her more opportunities to speak, and went straight into the back hall and dodged into the night. There wasn't even a polite goodbye. All emotions have disappeared in the face of gains and losses.
Under the guidance of the subordinates, Leng Fengyi waved her sleeves angrily.
That night, a pigeon rose from the post house, crossed the long river, and brought a line of beautiful small words: The eagle feathers have been abundant, and they will do something else.
