Forbidden City of Heze + Dalufei

"Uncle."

The young man lying in the dark corner made a dissatisfied voice, "What do you mean now?"

Bai Si was bathed in the magnificent light cast by Argosta, and was concentrating on adding a new stroke of paint to the canvas.The unpredictable light and shadow around him made him intoxicated in his own artistic fantasy. Hearing the complaints behind him, he replied with some displeasure, "What's wrong with me?"

"I ask what you mean by calling me here?" The man stood up, kicked down the picture frame next to him, sullen at his absent-mindedness.

"Didn't I tell you that you guys are invited to finish the work?" Bai Si said weakly, he really didn't want to devote his energy to chatting when he was concentrating on painting.

"The guy you mentioned will not show up until tomorrow! Why do I have to come tonight!"

"Well..." Bai Si stopped, recalling Qi Luo's appearance in his mind, which made him a little distracted, "Because that inspector is not easy to deal with, just in case, you need to come to the spot in advance , Discuss and discuss strategies."

"Strategy? My uncle never needs a strategy to kill people."

"You can't kill him." Bai Si was serious about adjusting new colors on the palette, "The client just asked to kidnap him unscathed, if you kill him by mistake, it will be considered a breach of contract, and you can't faithfully fulfill the contract If you don't, you're nothing."

The man snorted, but couldn't refute his statement, he just raised his voice and shouted, "Then why are you still painting now? I'm not here to accompany you in creating creations! Do you know how high my uncle's commission is? What! Stop wasting my time!"

"There are two more people who haven't arrived."

"What did you say? Did you call someone else?" The man's voice sounded really angry. He jumped off the pile of easels, grabbed Bai Si's collar from behind, and forced him to turn around. , "Bai Si, you don't have dementia, do you? You just got rid of one person. Not only did you call a killer of my level, but you also found another person? What are you kidding! How much are you going to pay me! ? I don’t want to share such a big commission with others!”

"He's not an ordinary 'person'." Bai Si said, licking the corner of his mouth, and looked at the furious man contemptuously, "I've learned it before, and I said, you alone are no match at all."

"It's noisy, you guys."

Finally, a deep and slow voice came from the sofa on the other side of the room.The old man who has been silent until now raised his face hidden in the darkness, as if he had just woken up from ignorance, "In the end, it is my idea to find more buddies. Although I am not the client , but this job must be foolproof for me."

The man let go of Bai Si, and turned towards the unclear figure, his attitude changed immediately, his voice became quieter, and he lowered his head like a dog with its tail between its legs, "I'm so sorry for disturbing you .”

"Don't worry, I am enough for this level of work, and two more people will only get in the way."

"Speaking of which," Bai Si didn't bother with him, but straightened his clothes and picked up the dropped paintbrush again, "Master, why did you come with me? I just borrowed your dog for use, you don't have to Send it in person? Even if this job is not dangerous, but the other party is an inspector after all, so it’s not good for you to be exposed in front of him?”

"Who are you calling a dog!" The man roared again as if his tail had been stepped on, "If it wasn't for the boss's order, who would have come to help you, an outdated uncle!"

"I also really want to see that young man named Zi Luo as soon as possible." The old man's breath was heavy because of his age, but he seemed to have a hint of joy, "Not through you as an agent, but tell him in person that he wants to know Everything. He and Shangguan Junliu are an important part of our great cause, and this can be regarded as the greatest sincerity given by the black market in Qiubao. Moreover, time is running out, and it is time for a showdown."

"Don't worry, tomorrow is our regular meeting day, he will definitely show up." Bai Si turned his back to him, looking at the huge tower of light outside, and painted a bright color on the dark canvas, " As long as we come to the central area, we are just catching a turtle in the urn."

After the long dark night, a new dawn of Darufi comes outside the window, and time still runs over the old things like a ruthless wheel, pushing people into the inescapable tomorrow.

Ziluo got up in the thin light that came in, walked to the sink, buried his head under the faucet, and let the cold water wash away all his fatigue.Every minute and every second of last night was extremely long, and the torment seemed to be endless. He originally thought that this dark night would never end again, as if he would never be able to obtain God's forgiveness.But when the light came, his heart finally calmed down, and he was panting steadily like a baby who survived a catastrophe under the ruins.

No more fear.Even before the abyss of despair, never allow the clutches of fear to capture your heart.Looking at his wet face in the mirror, Zilo twitched the corner of his mouth with a wry smile.This strong body and mind like a warrior who has experienced many battles is really convenient sometimes.

He glanced at the clock on the wall. In any case, he had to start work on time as usual.

After calming down, Zi Luo opened the closet and took out a clean uniform, and changed the wrinkled shirt off his body.

In a short time, it is better not to rush to Mojila.He thought about it as he buttoned it.

That might cause unexpected trouble.And...if Junliu really confirmed his inference, even Ziluo couldn't predict what decision he would make, how he should face that young man, and where he should go.

Do nothing for the time being, it should be safe to let Junliu stay in Mojira.Taking advantage of the convenience of visiting the central area today, find a chance to meet that guy Bai Si and confirm the next step with him.

Thinking of this, Lei Shu's face appeared in Qi Luo's mind, that man who did not leak water, the city does not know how deep it is.Yesterday's meeting was not so much a temptation as it was a unilateral demonstration against him by the other party. The polite but perfunctory rhetoric never gave him any chance from the beginning to the end.Even if he knew that there were more secrets about Lei Shu, the chance to approach him face to face like this would be unique.

After tidying up his tie, Ziluo exhaled and took a few extra glances at the mirror to make sure that there were no flaws in his appearance. He took the keys and documents, thinking that the commuter car that was never late was already waiting. Downstairs in the dormitory, he turned the doorknob.

"Yo, baby, you're a little late today."

Di Wei's voice came towards him. He was standing at the door of Zi Luo's dormitory, squinting his eyes and looking at him.

"Keep out of the way if you know it." Zi Luo walked out as he spoke, closing the door behind him, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me in the car?"

Before the words were finished, Di Wei suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his hand, supporting the door that was about to close, and his body pressed up at the same time, blocking his way.

"The dark circles under your eyes are a bit heavy." He approached Zi Luo's face for a closer look, and said softly, "I don't have to go to work today, please have a good rest."

"Stop doing this." Zi Luo was not in the mood to play frivolous jokes with him, and wanted to push him away as soon as he stretched out his hand.

"Don't be so fierce, I'm serious." Not only did Di Wei not back down, but he grabbed his wrist with such strength that he couldn't break free easily.Seeing the Chief Inspector's expression on the verge of getting angry, an incomprehensible smile appeared in his eyes, "Not only today, but from now on, you will never have to go to that dirty central area to deal with those lowly beasts, are you very happy? ?”

"What did you say?" Zi Luo was stunned, looking into his fox-like eyes with evil intentions, those dark green pupils shone with excitement, making people's backs shudder.

"Congratulations, Chief Inspector." Di Wei smiled slyly, and pulled out an envelope from his coat pocket, "I received a transfer order this morning, and you were promoted. From now on, you will enter Crystal City In the most authoritative area in the city, as the current Minister of Defense of Dalufei, the secretary-general directly under His Excellency Lei Shu, he works for him. Compared with the dangerous and dirty work of the inspector, it is simply a step up to the sky!"

Zi Luo only heard a bang in his head, and the whole person lost his mind.Compared with the joyful blush on Di Wei's face, he felt chills all over his body.

"How is it possible..." He could no longer hide his confusion, "What should I do with the work in my hand?"

"You don't have to worry about this." I don't know whether Di Wei really wanted to comfort him, or deliberately added fuel to the flames, and waved the envelope and said, "It is clearly written in the transfer order. Considering the haste of the notice, you are allowed a week Get ready, at this time next week, you must report to his office. From now on, I will take over your work as inspector general, and all ongoing cases will be handed over to me. Within this week, The routine inspection of the area you are in charge of will be represented by other inspectors, and if you stay here, I will accompany you every step of the way and assist you in the handover work."

As he spoke, he put his face close to Zilo's ear, like a coquettish woman, and whispered with a chuckle, "It's really wonderful, I can spend a whole week with you in the world of two."

Zi Luo stood motionless, and had no time to respond to Di Wei's harsh teasing.Before he could figure out the situation, he didn't even have time to react, so he was deprived of his mobility.

how so?This is only the second day, the day after we met!That fellow Lei Shu...is it necessary to strike so quickly?

It was as if he had been jolted awake by a basin of cold water.The opponent in front of him would not kindly wait for him to make all the preparations and think of all the countermeasures before slowly reciprocating the courtesy.Even if soldiers on the battlefield don’t even know what tomorrow will be like, at the beginning of the war, they can only charge forward with awareness. Even if every step is on the verge of death, they can only take the next step desperately. Isn’t Jun Liu Do you live like this?I was too naive to want to wait and see the situation.

Seeing that the inspector general didn't respond, Di Wei stuffed the envelope into his collar with a smile, and pushed Zi Luo into the room without any hassle.

"Relax, baby, come on, take off your uniform first." He said and closed the door behind him, "Anyway... you won't need it anymore."
