Atractylodes

Time passed by every minute and every second was so long that Bai Shu felt as if he was going to run out of life.The blood is gradually cooling down from boiling, and every part of the body is gradually dying... The inner struggle is even greater than the pain of not having water for three days.Bai Shu previewed the worst outcome in his mind, over and over again, without sleep, over and over again...

Three days later, as soon as Bai Shu's internal strength recovered, he broke free from the rope and ran down the streets of Chang'an like a lunatic with disheveled hair and dirt on his face. The whole Chang'an city was so quiet, as if only Bai Zhu's breathing was left...

The whole house of the Lin family is completely white, and everyone in the house is dressed in plain clothes.

Lin Jin's funeral...

Bai Shu stood outside the gate of the Lin Mansion, and saw Chong Ying sitting in the lobby at a glance, Chong Ying seemed to have aged ten years overnight, with a haggard look.

When people from Zhong's family saw Bai Zhu, there was a commotion at first, and then they became strangely quiet, and no one dared to speak.

Chong Ying raised his head and fixed his eyes on Bai Shu.

Bai Shu didn't seem to be able to see the angry eyes, "Father, where is Lan Junrong?"

He hadn't eaten for four days, his voice was inaudible, and he looked at Chong Ying as if grasping at the last straw.

"Father, where's Lan Junrong?"

After saying that, he knelt down as if losing all his strength.

Chongying sat on the chair without moving, his face was covered with ashes, "So... is it true?"

Bai Shu looked at Xiao Luzi, "Where's Lan Junrong?"

Xiaoluzi trembled all over, glanced at Chong and replied, "Dead...dead."

Bai Zhu's head exploded with a "hum".

died?

Chongying stood up with a pale face, "I want you to tell me yourself, is what they said true?"

Bai Shu supported the floor with both hands to prevent himself from falling down.

"You and Lan Junrong... have nothing to do with each other!" Chong Ying's forehead burst out with veins, "Is it true!"

died?So die?Bai Shu's mind went blank, "Ha, he's dead, he made me forget about him..."

"噗!" A silver light flashed in front of him, and Chong Ying suddenly pulled out the sword beside him.

"After your elder brother found out about the scandal of the two of you, you killed him, didn't you!"

Bai Shu smiled wryly, and lowered his voice, "Lin Jin was killed by Chong Luo..."

"Shut up!" Chong Ying rushed over and slapped Bai Shu on the face, causing Bai Zhu to fall to the ground, her ears buzzing, and her nose felt hot.

"Your elder brother is unconscious in a duel with Lan Junrong, and his life and death are uncertain. How dare you accuse him of the crime now! You bastard..."

People on the side hurriedly stopped Chong Ying, Xiao Luzi hugged Chong Ying's leg and said, "Master! Master, calm down! He must not know about the death of Senior Brother Baishu! It was Lan Junrong who did it! Senior Brother must not know!"

Xiao Luzi cast his eyes on Bai Shu who was on the ground, and said eagerly, "Senior brother, please say something! You said that the death of senior brother has nothing to do with you! Say it quickly!"

Bai Shu lay motionless on the ground.

"Where's his body? Where did he die?"

Chong Ying Wenyan was stunned for a moment, then took two steps back while clutching his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and everyone gathered around, "Master! Master!"

Chong Ying pointed at Bai Shu, the blood on the corner of his mouth was still there, he raised the sword in his hand, "I want to kill this bastard with my own hands!"

Baizhu didn't respond at all.

The sound of metal clashing sounded, and a person stood in front of Bai Shu, with a scarlet mole in the corner of his eye, charming and ferocious, "Uncle, what are you doing? This is your own son!"

Chong Ying's eyes were stern, "People from Minglou?"

Zuo Yi swung the neon clothes in a beautiful arc in the air and landed on his left hand, his eyes curved into beautiful arcs, "Yes, what a coincidence, one of our Minglou died in the hands of Chong's family just now."

The disciples of the Chong family immediately stood in front of Chong Ying on guard, and one of them shouted loudly, "This man is the left envoy of the Ming Tower! Be careful, everyone!"

Zuo Yi raised his hands, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to offend, I just came to take someone away."

"What if I don't agree?"

Zuo Yi shrugged his shoulders and smiled evilly, "It seems a bit out of order."

Chong Ying and Zuo Yi looked at each other for a while, and the situation was imminent.After a long time, Chong Ying raised his hand to stop all the disciples who were attacking Zuo Yi.

"Chong Baishu has nothing to do with my Chong family from now on. Take him away, and don't let me see him again in this life."

"Thank you." Zuo Yi understood the meaning of Chong Ying's words, picked up Bai Shu on the ground, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Master! How can you..."

Chong Ying waved his hand, and the sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound...

Three years later, Yangzhou City.

"Why are you here again? You're busy, aren't you!" Ban Xiyao threw out a phoenix-tailed dagger.

Zuo Yi forgot to dodge, and a cut was made on his left shoulder.

Pan Xiyao was taken aback, "You..."

Seeing Zuo Yi's eyes gradually change, Ban Xiyao's heart rose to his throat.However, Zuo Yi just frowned slightly, and pointed to Pan Xiyao's wound, "Look at you, you hurt me..."

"Who told you to come over and bother me!"

Zuo Yi suppressed the smile on his face, and moved closer, "You're not the one to be the bad guy."

Ban Xiyao pushed Zuo Yi away, "I haven't seen you for a few years, how can you still be so virtuous!"

Zuo Yi raised the corner of his mouth, "I haven't seen you for a few years...do you miss me?"

"Are you looking for death?"

Zuo Yi embraced Ban Xiyao's shoulders, "I want to ask you something..."

Ban Xiyao wanted to push Zuo Yi away, but Zuo Yi was already prepared this time, clamped Ban Xiyao's hand and pushed him on the unfinished weapon, with a low voice, "You are really getting more and more disobedient."

Ban Xiyao gritted his teeth and looked at Zuo Yi.The man in front of him restrained his usual cynicism and became domineering and dangerous...

Ban Xiyao held his breath, "What did you just say you wanted to ask me?"

Zuo Yi raised his eyebrows, "Forgot."

Ban Xiyao wanted to scold her, but she still held back, "Let me go first!"

Zuo Yi shook his head lightly.

Ban Xiyao's eyes widened. What does this head shaking mean?

"I think this pose is quite suitable for the two of us..."

Ban Xiyao froze in place, the sound of blood flowing through his brain was extremely clear at that moment.

Zuo Yi looked at Pan Xiyao who was blushing suspiciously, and laughed out loud, "You are still as interesting as before..."

Ban Xiyao raised his foot and kicked it out, but was caught by Zuo Yi.

"let me go!"

"Let go of you? Do you see where you kicked?"

Ban Xiyao blushed, trying to break free from Zuo Yi's restraint, but Zuo Yi still didn't let go, and Ban Xiyao's face darkened bit by bit.

Zuo Yi narrowed his eyes and let go of Ban Xiyao.

Pan Xiyao then flung his sleeves and entered the room, and the door slammed against the wall with a loud bang.

Zuo Yi hugged his chest and leaned against the wall, touched his nose, with a smile in his eyes, "Ban Xiyao? Mr. Ban? I'm just kidding, don't be angry..."

no movement...

Zuo Yi lazily leaned against the wood behind him, "Would you like me to play a song for you, I'm easy but I'm not a showman..."

The window opened suddenly, Zuo Yi's eyes lit up, and then he yelled, "Grandma's!"

Ban Xiyao set up the restored Zhuge Liannu by the window, and shot randomly at Zuo Yi.Zuo Yi saw dense arrows flying towards him, hurriedly dodged and shouted, "I really have something to do! About Chongbaishu!"

Hearing that name, Ban Xiyao retracted the crossbow from the window, "Chong Baishu? Didn't you keep looking at him?"

Zuo Yi smiled and moved to the window, Pan Xiyao saw that face and backed away unconsciously, "I can't look at him every day either. There was something wrong in the Minglou a few months ago, and I went out for a few days... "

"What can I bother you with?" Ban Xiyao's tone was not very good, but Zuo Yi didn't care. He put his hand on the window and said slowly, "Look at what you said, it seems like I have nothing to do all day long."

Pan Xiyao thought to himself: Isn't it?

"Then?"

Zuo Yi leaned against the window, "That guy ran away, and there has been no news for several months. Recently, I heard that he has arrived in Yangzhou..."

"Just for this?"

Zuo Yi raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"No. You can go away."

Zuo Yi narrowed his eyes and stared at Ban Xiyao, "Seeing you this time, you seem to have a particularly big temper."

Ban Xiyao had a cold expression, "I said it, I don't like people bothering me."

"Alright then, I'll go first."

Pan Xiyao obviously didn't expect Zuo Yi to be so talkative this time, and looked at Zuo Yi in surprise.Zuo Yi laughed, even the tear mole at the corner of his eye was inexplicably tender.Ban Xiyao hurriedly averted her eyes.

Zuo Yi's voice rubbed against his ears, "Goodbye."

Ban Xiyao turned his head again, and the figure who was standing there just now had disappeared without a trace.

……

"Hey, do you know that there is a flower picker in Yangzhou City recently!" In a tavern in Yangzhou City, a man lowered his voice, "I heard that this person eats both men and women!"

"I'll go! How can men and women take advantage of this kind of thing?"

"You don't know this?" The man shook his head and sighed, "In this world, everyone has it! Do you know the Chongluo Chong Shaoxia who has been in the limelight recently?"

"The one who killed the Right Envoy of the Ming Tower and became famous, and who recently got close to Shen Yi, the leader of the Golden Yuan League?"

"Yeah, it's said that he killed the Right Envoy of Ming Lou three years ago because that man had an affair with his own brother! Not only that, those two also killed a disciple of the Chong family in order to hide the matter from themselves... ..."

"I've heard of this, but I thought it was a gossip that someone valued Luo Chunfeng's complacency..."

"What gossip! You go to Chang'an City to inquire about it. Who didn't know about this matter that made a lot of noise back then?"

"What about his younger brother now?"

"Who knows? He probably died. No one has mentioned this for many years..."

"My God, I don't know if it's dead or alive? Then this flower picker could be..."

The two looked at each other, then lowered their heads to drink in a tacit understanding...

Suddenly there was the crisp sound of wine glasses breaking in the tavern, and the tavern, which had been bustling just now, was suddenly extremely quiet.

Everyone looked back together, only to see a young man sitting on that seat, dressed in white, with handsome features.
