The bitter man and the arrogant man eloped

What about people, madam. "

"Alas," Mrs. Qin sighed deeply, looking a little pitiful, haggard and tender, "You really make things difficult for me. Ask me for explanations for things that don't exist, and force me to hand over things that don't exist at all."

Gu Lan smiled softly: "I understand his personality. Although Sahatang is powerful, he never does anything out of line. He has always been a person who respects others. If he is just looking for a bodhi seed, he will have his own There is no need to make such a big fuss, I'm afraid Madam didn't tell me the whole truth."

Mrs. Qin seemed to have a headache, and the beautiful figure reflected on the screen leaned against the arm of the chair in frustration, and kept rubbing her eyebrows with her hands: "He still wants Huige to hand over She Youji."

"She Youji, but the clam from Wuchang Street... the owner of a restaurant?"

"Well," Mrs. Qin took a sip of tea, "She Youji betrayed Huige, and I don't know what shameful things he did behind his back. When I took the wind to find him early yesterday morning, the restaurant had already disappeared, but I didn’t see his body, so he must have run away overnight.”

Ye Qin suddenly put so much effort in chasing and killing She Youji, there must be an extraordinary connection behind it, Gu Lan couldn't wait to know what he had found, so he bowed slightly to Madam Qin and made a gesture of farewell : "Madam, don't worry, Gu Lan guarantees that Madam will not be in any danger. Even if the rest of the Gray Pavilion suffers from accidents, Madam will definitely be safe."

"You..." Mrs. Qin held her forehead weakly.

Chengfeng, who was waiting outside the door, still looked detached, narrowing his narrow eyes slightly, maintaining a mysterious expression, as if this storm had nothing to do with him at all.

Seeing Gu Lan come out, he first smiled habitually, stretched out his hand as a salute, and wanted to lead the way.Gu Lan also didn't intend to talk to him, he just wanted to see Ye Qin soon, he never noticed that Cheng Feng had already slowed down to walk side by side with him.Chengfeng glanced at Gu Lan without showing any emotion, and suddenly said: "The white-haired banshee that the owner just mentioned, does it have pointy ears and a long and thin tongue?"

He said this so plainly that it actually had a creepy effect.Gu Kan stood there, staring at those slender eyes and asked, "Have you seen them?"

Chengfeng said slowly: "It is recorded in "Smelting the Soul": In the deep valley where the sun never sees in Luowu Mountain, there grows a strange vine, which eats carrion and sucks blood. The eyes are dark, and the shape is like a young girl. Seven or eight fruits of the same shape can be produced on one vine.

Gu Lan recalled that not long ago, this person was still telling himself about No. 13 hours in a serious manner, saying that all you got was nothingness, but no matter what he said now, it sounded like nonsense.

"These fruit pods are called 'Frost Girl'," Cheng Feng smiled with squinted eyes, "it's just a kind of plant in essence, not a living person."

Gu Lan said: "Mr. Chengfeng, do you mean to blame Hui Pavilion?"

Cheng Feng quickly shook his head: "No, no, I said so, and the museum owner just listened to it. As for the truth of the matter, the museum owner has his own conclusion."

Ah, it sure is nonsense.

Outside the gate of Feibaiju is the bustling market. It is now evening, and the market that has been boiling all day has just shown signs of cooling down, and it is not as noisy as it was when Gu Lan first arrived.

The carriage was waiting for him not far away, and Gu Lan walked along the street, thinking over and over in his mind the events of the past few days, analyzing the connections in detail, but the inspiration was fleeting, and it was difficult for him to sort out the mess for a while.

At this time, a man in a black cloak and hat suddenly flashed out of the alley, and rushed forward in a hurry, almost colliding with Gu Lan.The man seemed to have suffered serious trauma, his steps were vain, and he fell on the side of the road before taking two steps, and his hat and cloak fell loose.

Gu Lan looked back and found that this was a young man who was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. His young cheeks were stained with blood, and a dislocated arm was draped limply by his side.The young man lay on the ground, the wound on his knees turned the gravel on the road red, he struggled twice, but failed to get up, he touched his back with his good arm to make sure that the person in the cloak was fine , was relieved.

The person being carried by him was completely hidden in the black cloak, as if he was afraid of light and refused to show a little bit of space.The young man gritted his teeth, and tried to kneel on one hand. Gu Lan went over and extended his hand to him. The young man looked up at him, breathlessly said no, then stood up staggeringly, and continued to run with a limp. .

However, at this staggered moment, Gu Lan caught a glimpse of a strand of white hair protruding from the cloak. It was long and clean, but without the slightest luster.

"Please wait."

Not only did the boy not stop when he heard the sound, but he ran even faster.Gu Lan easily chased after him. Before his hands were on the young man's shoulders, a sharp sword light had already blown towards his eyes. _Jiao caramel hall_

Gu Lan didn't hide, so the sword landed on his neck, and the young man stared at him with clear eyes and said, "Don't meddle in your own business."

There were two weak coughs from inside the cloak. The young man tightly hugged the man tightly, and asked softly: "Are you okay, hold on, we'll be there soon!"

What they were going to was a small pharmacy hidden in the crack of the alley. The man who looked like the owner of the pharmacy was leaning on the door leaf to crack sunflower seeds, chatting with the neighbor who was frying dry goods while eating, but when he caught a glimpse of this rushing man out of the corner of his eye When I was a teenager, I was so frightened that the melon seeds were about to be closed when I threw them away.

The young man took two steps, and directly stuffed his palm into the crack of the door. There was a sound of "bang", the pharmacy owner couldn't stop his hand in time, and the door severely pinched a bruise on the young man's finger bone, but he didn't seem to feel the pain. , without even frowning.

The young man's sharp eyes stared straight at the person inside through the gap that was one finger wide, and before he counted three times, the pharmacy owner sighed, opened the door and said, "Didn't I tell you that it can't be cured, you Hurry back and prepare for her funeral."

"I brought the money." The young man took out a handful of broken silver from his pocket, his palms shook uncontrollably, and the broken silver kept falling down, "Is this enough? I still have enough."

"It's not a matter of enough silver." The pharmacy owner picked up the silver on the ground and put it back in the young man's hand reluctantly, "I don't have that ability. Even if you bring me a golden mountain, I can't cure her. .”

"But the medicine you prescribed last time is obviously very effective! You must be lying to me!" The boy shouted stubbornly.

The owner of the pharmacy said with a guilty conscience: "That's a blind cat meeting a dead mouse... Ah no, I'm not saying she's a dead mouse, don't look at me like that..."

"I can cure her."

Gu Lan walked towards them unhurriedly, and took the smallest piece of silver from the boy's hand: "I only want three pennies, and I can find you if I have more."

Mistress ([-]) Frost Girl ([-])

"Are you a doctor?" The young man looked at Gu Lan gratefully, "She..."

Before he could finish speaking, the person behind him suddenly struggled, a snow-white, almost transparent hand stretched out from the cloak, and tightly grasped the boy's collar, as if exhausting all the remaining strength in his body, trembling but Determined, as if the bones are about to be broken out.

Gu Lan took the opportunity to peek inside the cloak, but the young man turned his body sideways to block his sight, his expression changed drastically, and he said coldly, "I won't bother you, goodbye."

After saying that, he limped out of the alley quickly, carefully adjusted the cloak, raised his hand to fasten the hat on his head again, and headed eastward with his head down.

The owner of the pharmacy said regretfully and pitifully, "Why bother?"

Gu Lan turned around and asked him, "Is it a girl with white hair that the boy wanted to treat just now?"

"Hey, how do you know?" The boss looked him up and down, went out and took a handful of melon seeds from the neighbor's stall, "Yes, he looks pretty, but unfortunately he is blind, and he won't live long."

"What's wrong with her?"

The pharmacy owner shrugged: "I'm a drug seller, not a professional doctor. Who knows what strange disease she has, coughing up blood whenever the sun shines."

Gu Lan asked again: "Does she have pointy ears and dark eyes?"

The boss sneered at him: "How can people have pointed ears? You are talking about goblins. Not only are the eyes not black, but they are also gray, which is very strange."

Gu Kan was puzzled.

On the night of returning to Yanhua Pavilion, the man he rescued on the way to Baiji finally woke up.

At this critical juncture, Gu Lan had no time to be distracted by his background, and when he visited him in the ward, he simply checked his body.

The man was very grateful to Gu Lan, and reported himself as Pei Mingjian, and he was a second-level police officer of the current court's Evil Execution Division.

"Zhu Xiesi?" Gu Lan changed the gauze for him, got up and washed his hands in the clear water basin, "Forgive me for being ignorant, I don't know much about the court affairs."

The Department of Zhuxie is an institution inherited from the previous dynasty. There are not many people in the department, and their whereabouts are secretive.The Minister of Punishment is directly responsible to the supreme power holder of the entire country. In the previous dynasty, he obeyed the orders of the regent, but now he should be loyal to the lord.

Gu Lan said this because he didn't want to have too many entanglements with the government. The spies of the Xiexie Division were clever, and nothing good would happen if they were targeted.However, Pei Jian didn't know whether he was too excited or just pretended to be stupid. He even told him about the background of Zhu Xiesi again, and almost gave him a detailed analysis of the secret mission.

Gu Lan was surprised by his frankness, so he inevitably felt a little suspicious, so he said with a smile: "My lord and I just met each other once.
