Bao Ye

Yuan Ling sat on the ground beside the bed, his face was pale, and the white shirt on his abdomen was stained red with blood, which was shocking.He seemed to have exhausted all his strength just to untie Chi Yunfei's rope, and he collapsed on the ground and said weakly: "Master Chi, I have something to tell you, please be quiet and listen to me..."

"I'm going to find a doctor!" Chi Yunfei's face was ugly, his eyes were full of confusion and panic, and he was about to get up while leaning on the table, "Hold on! Don't, don't be nervous, you will be fine!"

He was still drunk, his figure was already unstable, he staggered to stand up and almost fell, he said to himself and slapped his forehead: "Yes! You have to stop the bleeding first, stop the bleeding first..."

He turned around to grab the bed sheet and tore it apart forcefully, intending to plug Yuan Ling's wound.

"Chi Yunfei!" Yuan Ling panted slightly, pressed Chi Yunfei's hand, and said, "Listen to me! This matter is very important!"

Chi Yunfei knelt in front of him on one knee, his face blank.

"I'm not from Yuecheng, I lied to you." Yuan Ling closed his eyes, with ashes on his face, and said with a forced breath, "I'm from the north, and my hometown is Gu Beicheng. I'm Xu Undercover agents from the President's cabinet."

He covered the wound with one hand, coughed, and several times saw that he was breathing too much and not enough, he took a deep breath, and trembling his lips with his increasingly heavy eyelids: "The president's cabinet is divided into leftists and rightists. President, trying to provoke Zheng Qihong and the Wen family, those..."

He swallowed heavily, his eyes gradually became hollow, his voice weakened, and he said with difficulty: "Those Russians...some of them were recruited by the leftists. Big boat. He wants to use...the strength of those people to clean up the Wen family and deal with the south. He is too...taken for granted."

Chi Yunfei's pupils trembled, his mind went blank, and he stared blankly at Yuan Ling.

Yuan Ling's aura gradually weakened, and before he had time to explain more, he grabbed Chi Yunfei by the collar, pulled him in front of him, and said almost angrily: "I am, I am a rightist, Maybe...the president also...leans...to the right...we...want peace..."

A large amount of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and the blood poured backwards, almost blocking his already unsustainable breathing.

He swallowed hard, his eyes straightened: "Yard...yard...to the left...No.18...eighteen...go to...go..."

Chi Yunfei's ear was almost attached to Yuan Ling's lips, his expression was dull, he hadn't listened to the following text for a long time, he hardly dared to lower his head and backed away slowly, his hands trembling on Yuan Ling's shoulder: "Yuan... Ling?"

Yuan Ling's eyes were open, his mouth was still open, and he was trying to speak, but his pupils had already dilated.

died?

Undercover... Is he an undercover?People from the north?

Chi Yunfei fell to the ground, staring blankly at Yuan Ling's face, unable to recover for a moment.

Why?How could this be?

The person who kidnapped himself was also with him?So what happened to him?How could he be seriously injured and die?

He raised his hand and slowly untied Yuan Ling's clothes, saw the terrible gun hole, and thought of the gunshot outside just now, the answer was ready to come out.

He didn't know how to react for a while, and said blankly: "Didn't you agree to visit Wen's house? I'm still waiting for you to make a big move...Why? Who will old man Bai go to play chess with in the future?"

Chi Yunfei struggled to turn his head, and slowly got up while supporting the table.Now is not the time to think about this, in case there are people around them... This place is too dangerous, we have to go first...

Wait, he said the yard... the yard is No. 18 on the left, eighteen what?

Chi Yunfei got up slowly, and was about to leave with a wooden face, then turned around as if thinking of something, leaned over and gently closed the man's eyes.He looked at the other party for a long time, as if he was afraid of something, he murmured in a low voice: "How do you want me to explain to Xiao Tang? He has always regarded you as a deadly enemy, as a confidant..."

Chi Yunfei raised his hand and wiped his face, endured the soreness in his heart, and wiped all the blood from the palm of his hand on his face without noticing it.

He walked out of the room and saw two dead bodies lying in the yard.It was the two who tied themselves up.

He walked around the corpse expressionlessly and looked around on the left side of the yard.Eighteen... is obviously a quantity, what needs to be used?

Many dwarf trees were planted on the left side of the yard, and there were many large and small stones. Chi Yunfei dug around under the trees and at the bottom of the stones, but found nothing, making his whole body dirty, and then looked down at the bluestone road .

He frowned, counted from the direction of the door to No. 18 stone slabs, and jumped on it, solid.

Then he counted No. 18 stone slabs from different directions, until he stepped on one of them, and there was a hollow sound below.

This is it!

He hurriedly found a shovel, knocked around the stone slabs, looking for gaps, when he was digging, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door, and one person said: "My lord, there are several vacant houses registered in Tongluogu Back Alley... I don't know. Which one did the adults find..."

A low, anxious male voice said impatiently: "Search one by one!"

As soon as the voice fell, the gate of the courtyard was kicked open.

A huge crowd crowded the narrow alley, and all the gates of the courtyard next door were kicked open. A group of people carried lanterns and lit torches, shouting endlessly, and could faintly hear intense barking of dogs.As soon as Wen Xinyang strode into the yard, he bumped into Chi Yunfei who was digging stone slabs standing in the yard with blood all over his face.

Wen Xinyang's pupils shrank suddenly, his feet were so weak that he could hardly stand, he rushed forward without looking at the corpse on the ground, and hugged Chi Yunfei horizontally.The man was stiff all over, his fingers were trembling slightly, his eyes eagerly looked him up and down, his face was pale: "Where is the injury?!"

It was rare to see Wen Xinyang lose his composure, Chi Yunfei was a little dazed, and just said "uh", Wen Xinyang said angrily: "I asked where you hurt!!"

"No, no injury." Chi Yunfei stammered hurriedly.He had never seen Wen Xinyang so angry. He shrank his neck and said nervously, "It's not my blood, don't worry."

Xiao Tang rushed in with the crowd, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Chi Yunfei, and said relaxedly: "My ancestor, you really have you, you can drink flowers, you know how worried the general is..."

Wen Xinyang glanced aside, and said in a deep voice, "Who are these two?"

"It's a long story..." Chi Yunfei moved uncomfortably, signaling to put him down, "There is still one person in the room, Xiao Tang...you should be mentally prepared."

Xiao Tang was squatting down to inspect the bodies of the two, and lifted up the hem of the other's clothes with the fan to look around. Hearing this, he raised his head and asked in a daze, "What's the matter? Is it someone I know?"

Chi Yunfei frowned, but couldn't speak for a while.

Xiao Tang stood up, took two steps forward, and watched his subordinates rush into the room, feeling a certain premonition in his heart.

Soon, the people in the room shouted: "There is another one here! It's dead! Is it... Oh my god? Why is it him?"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Tang was a little nervous, and shouted inside, "Who is it? Tell me clearly!"

One of his subordinates poked his head out, with a strange expression on his face, and stammered: "Yes, yes...Master Xiao, why don't you come and see for yourself?"

Xiao Tang glanced at Chi Yunfei, pursed his lower lip, and rushed in quickly.

The room fell into silence, and even the atmosphere changed. Xiao Tang's subordinates retreated from the room, stood at the door, and looked at each other.

Wen Xinyang hugged his daughter-in-law and didn't let go, for fear that she would disappear if he didn't watch her for a while.He seemed to have recovered some kind of treasure, and asked in a low voice, "Who is inside?"

Chi Yunfei lowered his eyes and whispered, "Yuan Ling. He saved me."

Wen Xinyang narrowed his eyes slightly, with complicated emotions in his eyes: "...it was him."

Chi Yunfei looked up at him: "You know?"

Wen Xinyang didn't explain, and seemed to think of something again, with a slightly heavy expression on his face.Then he looked down at Chi Yunfei's shovel on the ground: "What are you doing?"

"He wanted me to find something before he died." Chi Yunfei said, "He... and these two, both undercover agents, belonged to President Xu. But for some reason, they fought."

Wen Xinyang, however, instantly understood and understood: "Yuan Ling should be from the right, but these two are from the left. They originally had different ideas."

Wen Xinyang nodded to his subordinates, and stood aside with his wife in his arms: "Go and dig."

"Yes!"

At this moment, another person rushed in from the door, it was Liu Qingchuan.

He was still wearing casual clothes, sweating profusely, and his collar was unbuttoned. He had changed from his eternally calm and upright elite appearance, and his eyes were full of rare confusion.

When he first saw the two corpses on the ground, his pupils trembled, and then he subconsciously wanted to go to the back room, but he restrained himself abruptly, and walked up to Wen Xinyang with clenched fists, saluting: "General, young master, what's going on here? I saw the signal from the general..."

Wen Xinyang took a deep look at him, and said: "Yun Fei was tied up by these two people, I brought someone to look for him. Fortunately, I arrived in time."

Liu Qingchuan's expression changed, and he looked at Chi Yunfei: "Master, are you okay? Have you called the doctor?"

Chi Yunfei looked at his expression. Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't say a word. He just shook his head: "I'm fine, it's just Yuan Ling..."

Liu Qingchuan's breathing suddenly became heavier, but he restrained himself quite well, his face remained unchanged, and said in a low voice, "Yuan Ling? Why is this matter still related to him? Where is he?"

Chi Yunfei raised his eyes and looked into the room, Xiao Tang had asked someone to find a stretcher and sent the body out.

Xiao Tang's eyes were red, obviously he had cried, he found a quilt to cover the corpse, maintaining Yuan Ling's last dignity.

Liu Qingchuan took a step back suddenly, and a strange sound came out of his throat, as if someone had strangled his neck.But he immediately controlled it again, only he knew that the nails of both hands had been dug into the flesh so hard that the palms were bleeding out.

His jaw was tense, and he hesitated to speak several times. He didn't ask until the stretcher was carried out of the gate, "What... what happened to him?"

Wen Xinyang didn't look at him, but stared at his men who dug up the bluestone slab, revealing a square object wrapped in cloth underneath, and said slowly: "Yuan Ling was sent from the north, and so were those two people. I guess Yuan Ling is a rightist." These two people are leftists, and they probably had a dispute over how to deal with Yun Fei, and finally fought each other."

Liu Qingchuan's voice sounded very steady, only vaguely hoarse: "The general is wise. Yuan Ling has been an undercover agent for many years and has not attacked the Wen family. He has concealed his identity very well. He should be a moderate unification faction. These two... should be I wanted to kill Young Master Chi, but was stopped by Yuan Ling."

Wen Xinyang's eyes were deep for a moment, he was very afraid now, if Yuan Ling hadn't acted first, Yun Fei would be really in danger.He didn't dare to take any chances. Between life and death, there is often not much time for people to react.This time, it can only be said that Yun Fei was lucky.

But if there is the first time and the second time, there will be the third time and the fourth time.

Who can be sure that there is such luck every time?

Wen Xinyang's whole body was cold, his hands holding Yun Fei tightened, and he secretly made up his mind: he wants to end all this as soon as possible, and turn passive into active.

The dug out cloth bag was taken into the car, and Chi Yunfei was carried into the car to rest.

With swollen eyes, Xiao Tang asked someone to make hangover soup, brought some stomach-warming snacks, and said lazily: "Let him rest well, and tell me what happened when he has time. If Yuan Ling was killed , I will definitely avenge him."

Wen Xinyang looked at the stretcher carrying the corpse, and nodded silently.

Liu Qingchuan followed beside him and asked blankly, "Where are you going to take him?"

"Of course it's to find a feng shui treasure to bury in the ground." Speaking of this matter, Xiao Tang showed a sad expression again, tears welling in his eyes, "Otherwise?"

Liu Qingchuan didn't speak, Wen Xinyang said to the adjutant on the side: "Temporarily block this place, and continue to search for other suspicious people. Don't move anything in the yard. I will leave the rest to you. I will take people back first. "

"Don't worry." The adjutant nodded immediately.

Wen Xinyang glanced at Liu Qingchuan's side face, his eyes moved slightly, and said, "I'm going back first, you should also rest earlier."

"...you go slowly."

When the car was far away, Liu Qingchuan watched Xiao Tang take someone to carry the stretcher away, and chased after a few steps: "...I will go too."

Xiao Tang was sad, he didn't care what other people were going to do, and he didn't refuse when he heard the words.

inside the car.

Chi Yunfei leaned tiredly against the window glass, staring out the window blankly.

After relaxing, fear, doubt, and Yuan Ling's sudden death filled him with confusion.He knew Yuan Ling because of the middleman, Xiao Tang. The only impression he had of Yuan Ling was that he was good-looking, good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he was not proficient.

He is the top card of the Nanfeng Pavilion, and for the sake of money, he will smile at the guests, making people feel like a spring breeze, and he can be regarded as exquisite.

But if we get along in private, he is lazy, speaks slowly, and can sometimes talk to others... an ordinary person.

Not very easy to get along with, but not annoying either.

Only then did Chi Yunfei realize that he actually didn't know much about Yuan Ling.Only occasionally would I hear things about that person from Xiao Tang's mouth - there was another big-spending customer, the jealousy storm surrounding that person in the Nanfeng Pavilion, the man Xiao Tang had a crush on would always choose Yuan Ling, Yuan Ling is actually not the one below, but the one above... Wait.

It was just some ordinary gossip, Xiao Tang scolded fiercely, but in fact, he always regarded Yuan Ling as a confidant who was both an enemy and a friend.And this "enemy" is nothing more than his unilateral declaration of war, simply because he refuses to accept and is always robbed of men by the other party.

And now, this person just died.

Died in a remote and dilapidated courtyard, his wish hadn't been fulfilled, and the hot light in his eyes hadn't faded away, so he died unwillingly.

Didn't even get to say goodbye to anyone.

In the end, the one who accompanied him was actually himself, an outsider who didn't know him very well, and couldn't even say a few words from his heart.

Even if it was Xiaotang instead?Maybe it can also give the other party some comfort.

"Cry out when you feel uncomfortable." Wen Xinyang suddenly said from the side, "Are you scared?"

"...I just find it ironic." Chi Yunfei closed his eyes, pressed his forehead against the cold car window, and said softly, "He has been lurking in Yuecheng for many years. He was not killed by the 'enemy', but was killed by his own people. Yes. What is this?"

Wen Xinyang didn't speak.

The curfew was already in place, and the back alley gradually became quieter.

The wheels rolled over the gravel and creaked, and the driver did not dare to breathe out. He only went in the left ear and out the right ear, as if he was air.

After a long time, Wen Xinyang finally said, "He sacrificed for his own ideals, and he got what he wanted."

Chi Yunfei's tone was complicated: "Did you get what you want?"

"These things are not as simple as you think." Wen Xinyang put one hand on his knee and put the other on the window sill, and said slowly, "Whether it's in the south or in the north, not everyone has the same hatred and is united with the outside world. After going through these things You should also be able to understand that, for example, the Zheng family targeted us, and several big families colluded with foreigners for their own interests, and in the north, there will also be people fighting each other for their own interests."

"Maybe some people seem to care about the reunification of the North and the South, and they are sanctimonious, but in their hearts they are very disdainful; maybe some people look brutal and advocate war, but they are actually true patriots. People never have more than one side, and they are distinguished by good people and bad people. , it is very narrow. All kinds of interests, rights, desires, and emotions are entangled in it. Not only do people have more than one or two sides, but the pros and cons of the development of things are not only the one you see. It is not beneficial to you. It must be beneficial to others, and when you enjoy a certain resource, someone must lose it."

Wen Xinyang turned to look at Chi Yunfei, with a gloomy light in his eyes: "But I don't want you to think too much, it's good that you and Yang Yang can live in such a simple way all the time. Go back and have a good rest, don't think about it anymore Whatever happens, leave it to me."

Chi Yunfei suddenly remembered what his mother had said to him when he stood in front of Wen's house on New Year's Eve—as a mother, if it is not necessary, I would not be willing to let you grow up.It would be nice if you never grow up.

Chi Yunfei's eyes suddenly turned sour, and he turned his head to block his eyes.

There are some words that I didn't understand before, but the moment I understand them, I have grown up unknowingly.

Growing up may be a good thing, or it may not be. Sometimes the opportunity to grow up is very sudden. It breaks into the life you have been accustomed to unsuspectingly, just like waking up suddenly in a dream. Disappointed.

"Same as Yangyang...?" Chi Yunfei murmured in his heart, his heart seemed to be pulled into the air, and he looked around in a daze, unable to land anywhere.

He knew that something had changed.
