Kaifeng Bistro

"Then...how do you know that he...he will come back?" Although the older man was a little surprised when he heard the other party's words, he soon calmed down and asked cautiously: "You, You said he doesn't like A Yuan anymore, so please forgive me for being ignorant... What's the use of killing... Killing A Yuan? Forget it, my lord, you have your own plans, so I won't ask any more questions. Tomorrow... ...Will you go to him, reveal your identity to him, and see if he is still willing to cooperate with our previous plan?"

"Well...Xu Gan, he is a very affectionate person." The young man's voice became lower and lower: "Ah Yuan's death will definitely make him feel very guilty, and Ah Yuan's death will hold even more weight in his heart." It's a bit more serious. As for whether Bai Yutang killed A Yuan, he may be skeptical in his heart, but don't forget that when people are overjoyed and sad, they are not necessarily so rational, and their judgments are not necessarily so accurate."

He paused, then continued: "As for me...I'm sure, when he ran to Zhifeng's tavern at the end of last year, he didn't remember me at all. This is very strange. Rong also suddenly began to change his attitude towards him, and tried to kill him many times... I couldn't figure out all this, so I told our people to stand still. However, I found out that that night in the old tavern When I was in the flesh, he seemed to recognize me again, well, just to be on the safe side, it’s better for me not to show up now, go test him tomorrow and see if he is willing to come back to us.”

"Back to us...you mean?" the older man asked again.

The young man took a few steps outside: "Of course he didn't go back to the south of the city, he doesn't want to go there anymore. You may not know, but he fell in love with that Tan Zhifeng, I don't know what Tan Zhifeng's origin is, but Xu Gan's love for him Very attached, much better than it was with Yuan. He will not come back, I mean, let him continue to cooperate with us to complete our plan. The Xixia people are gone, but what they promised to do with us, I think They won't break their promises. By the way, the Xixia people visited when I was away last time, what did you say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the older man suddenly shook. Under the moonlight, his face looked a little gray. "What's wrong with you?" the young man asked with a frown.

"Oh...it doesn't matter...it seems to be like this these days. When it's late at night...you may feel unwell occasionally, but it will be fine soon. Don't worry, my lord." He also seemed to be at a loss, but he soon He stroked his chest, and when he raised his head again, he seemed to have completely returned to normal.

The young man looked at him suspiciously for a while, and then said: "Be careful. You can tell me about what happened last time. It's not safe here. You go back to the south of the city first. Come here. Tomorrow you will see Xu Xu." Gan, just tell him that..."

The two muttered for a while in the alley before the young man came out.After a while, the older man also walked slowly to the entrance of the alley. After looking around, he was about to go south of the city when suddenly he felt a pain in his chest, which made him hold on to the wall beside him. He bent down and panted heavily.

"Why... why is it getting stronger and stronger..." He muttered to himself, just as he was about to straighten up, he suddenly felt a shadow blocking the moonlight in front of him, which startled him.

He raised his head tremblingly, and saw a face that made him extremely frightened, and he couldn't help but said: "You...A Yuan...Aren't you..."

"I'm not dead." A Yuan's beautiful cat eyes seemed to have a dark green light for some reason, and his light brown skin was as smooth and healthy as before. His long hair hung down, covering his temples, but The clothes on his body were soaked with dried blood, which looked like a worn canvas, making it impossible to look directly at.What was even more frightening was that behind him were two servants who looked like ordinary people, but they just stood there quietly like statues, their eyes were dull and empty, staring straight ahead, It's chilling down the spine.

"Now," A Yuan smiled at the man, with a charming charm that he had never seen before: "I'm going to find Brother Xu Gan."

"No, no, I didn't kill you, don't seek revenge on me!" The man didn't hear what A Yuan said at all, his voice was particularly sharp in panic: "I, we never thought Harm you……"

A Yuan lowered his head and covered his mouth with a soft smile: "Don't be afraid, I don't blame you for killing me, I still want to thank you, I... I finally understand what that person said that day. You see, I With eternal life, I want to be with Xu Gan, and I can be with him forever. Forever, forever, never to be separated again."

"What? What do you mean?" The man was stunned and asked tremblingly, "I... I don't understand."

A Yuan still smiled quietly and softly: "You go, you won't understand, oh no, maybe you will understand soon, as long as you die like me once, you will be resurrected, eternal life ..."

The other party seemed to be in a dream, staring at A Yuan's face for a long time without moving away, but he seemed to hear the three words "you go", he quickly recovered, and pushed A Yuan away in front of him in a staggered manner , all the way without looking back ran to the south of the city.

……

Xu Gan went to bed early to heal his wounds, without Bai Yutang, the yard seemed very deserted.Tan Zhifeng sat beside Xu Gan, but his eyes stayed on the inconspicuous big wooden box by the wall.After looking at it for a while, he finally couldn't help standing up and coming to him, and put his hand on the wooden box.

His hands were trembling constantly, and a voice in his heart told him to open it, but the cold and clear pain echoed in his chest, making him unable to make up his mind.But in the end, he still slowly grabbed the lid of the wooden box and lifted it up bit by bit.

With a "snap", another slender and powerful hand stretched out in front of him, and slammed the box shut. "What do you see it doing?" Xu Gan stood in the darkness, his hand grabbed Tan Zhifeng's hand, took his hand and pulled him to his side.

"I..." Tan Zhifeng didn't know how to answer, he gently pulled his hand back, and asked Xu Gan, "Are you feeling better?"

"Don't touch that sword." Xu Gan said in a deep voice, "I always feel that he is somewhat against you."

"It's okay." Tan Zhifeng looked back again: "... After all... After all... After all, this is yours, and it didn't kill me back then... What are you afraid of?"

"I don't know either." Xu Yan seemed to relax a little bit, and he walked back to the bed slowly with Tan Zhifeng's support: "However, the power of this sword is far inferior to before. Otherwise, just rely on With this sword, we don’t have to be afraid of Taotie, Bo, and the master behind them... But now..." He smiled silently: "Just like me, just like the female demon, our original divine power... There are already very few left..."

"This sword..." Although Tan Zhifeng could see that Xu Yan didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, he still couldn't help asking: "Isn't this sword accompanied by the real dragon emperor in the past? Why...why this dynasty? Didn't it exist?"

"I don't know about that either." Xu Yan sighed slowly: "I feel that its power seems to be locked, and I don't know how to unlock it. Perhaps this is why this dynasty emphasizes civility over military affairs, and the country is rich and rich. Illness and weakness, the reason why the neighbors and powerful enemies have been staring at me like a tiger, right?"

"Then..." Tan Zhifeng was about to ask again, but Xu Gan raised his finger and pressed on his lips: "Go to sleep."

Tan Zhifeng briefly checked Xu Gan's wound and found nothing unusual.So she helped him to lie down, and she lay beside him.Hearing Xu Gan's steady and long breathing, he gradually became a little sleepy.Just as he was about to fall into a deep sleep, he suddenly felt Xu Gan turn around.He turned his head to look, Xu Gan's eyes flickered in the dark night, and he was staring straight at him.He asked sleepily, "Why didn't you sleep?"

"Bai Yutang said before leaving that he wanted to teach you, what did he want to teach you?" Xu Gan asked.

"Oh..." Tan Zhifeng blushed all of a sudden, and he stammered: "What is he going to teach me? Uh, maybe it's about making pear blossom and apricot blossom soup cakes, I don't know."

There was a faint smile on Xu Yan's face, his face looked extraordinarily handsome under the moonlight, so close at hand, Tan Zhifeng lost all sleepiness at once, looked at him nervously, feeling as if he had been possessed by a demon, his heart was getting more and more The more nervous you get, the more you don't want to take your eyes away anyway.Xu Gan stretched out his long arms again, hugged his shoulders and patted lightly: "Sleep, sleep."

Tan Zhifeng didn't dare to move, but couldn't sleep no matter what.After a while, he felt that Xu Gan should have almost fallen asleep, so he said in a low voice: "Ying Long, what happened in previous lives, do you still...do you remember?"

Xu Gan's breathing was still steady. Tan Zhifeng thought he must be asleep, so he raised his hand and touched his cheek lightly. His fingers accidentally touched Xu Gan's long eyelashes, and Xu Gan opened them instantly. eyes, looked at him and said, "What are you talking about...?"

Tan Zhifeng didn't fall into a panic this time. What Bai Yutang said when he teased him that morning still lingered in his mind, and he blurted out the question that he had been thinking over and over for a long time: "Is...for example...such as you The people I liked, and you, you..."

"I've never liked anyone else." Before Tan Zhifeng finished speaking, Xu Gan looked at him and said, "I only liked you."

Tan Zhifeng and Xu Yan looked at each other, he wanted to see the true meaning of this sentence from Xu Gan's dark pupils, but after watching for a long time, he still didn't know what to think or what to ask.With Xu Gan's arm retracted, the two of them leaned even tighter, and Tan Zhifeng's nose was filled with the faint bitter taste of the newly replaced medicine.Xu Gan's chest heaved, and he said on top of his head: "I remember every life, every person who was by my side. But I also remember that I never loved them. I looked at them, and I was always looking for someone in them. traces of people..."
