Ambush from all sides

Luoying Mountain is located in the direction of Suzhou City towards Jiaxing Mansion, about [-] miles away from the south gate of the city.When Dead Ye followed Shumei out of the exhibition house, it was almost noon.At that time, the rain was not yet heavy, and Shumei wanted to give the dead leaves a poncho, but he refused with a stiff face.Shumei smiled, then brought out two bamboo hats with curtains, and handed one to him.

The two of them were walking on the street wearing bamboo hats, and the area above the shoulders was vaguely covered by translucent curtains. One was dressed in gray and the other in black, which attracted many people's attention.Shumei said in a low voice, "Look, I've told you to wear a rain poncho." Withered Ye pursed her lips in embarrassment, and lowered her eyes in silence.

The two of them walked silently through the center of the city without any haste.Suzhou City is much more prosperous than Changzhou Mansion. All kinds of restaurants, gold and silver workshops, and brothels are full of people coming and going at noon.Some places were too crowded, so Shumei reached out to grab the dead leaf's wrist.Dead Leaf was startled, and reflexively put her hand behind her back, while holding the knife at her waist with the other hand.Shumei gave him a funny look, and said, "Brother Cen, I won't eat your tofu, what are you hiding?" After speaking, she grabbed his sleeve and led him to the street on the left.

Withered Ye stared, with an embarrassed and patient expression on his face.If it was someone else, he would naturally shake his hand away, but this is a big girl, and Zhan Hao's subordinates are even older than himself.Seeing Shumei's smaller and slender body compared to her own, Dead Leaf couldn't help but think of Jitang Minwei and the others...so she couldn't refuse, so she had to lean her body and be dragged away by her.

The street turned a corner in front and suddenly became narrower, but the number of people did not decrease, but suddenly doubled.Dead Leaf frowned suspiciously and looked forward, only to see a well-regulated three-story ebony building in front of it, which looked like a tea shop, but there were so many customers, Dead Leaf couldn't help but feel a little strange.He saw the signboard of the small building casually placed on the ground, leaning against the doorway, with three big characters "Jin Shengxi" written on it.

That small building was full of people, crowded next to each other were some richly dressed young men, accompanied by servants in twos and threes.I don't know what happened, a group of people crowded together at the door, and some people couldn't find a way to go in, so they couldn't help but yelled and cursed loudly.

Hearing the noise, Shumei frowned and stopped, standing on tiptoe to look over there.Seeing that she was not tall enough, Dead Leaf also looked there a few times.It doesn't matter if you look at it, the two sons who took the lead in making trouble in the middle of the crowd can be called acquaintances - Yan Heng and Yan Qi.

The two of them didn't know what the quarrel was, Yan Heng's face was a bit ugly, pale and pale, and his lips were pursed into a line.Yan Qi was aggressive, staring at him domineeringly with the corners of his eyes hanging down, his cheeks flushed faintly, making his bewitching eyebrows even more domineering and gorgeous.Some people around seemed to be trying to persuade a fight, but more of them were watching the excitement, looking at the tall and handsome Yan Heng for a while, and looking at the coquettish and tyrannical Yan Qi with malicious intentions for a while.

Shumei stretched her neck for a while, but she still couldn't see the situation in front of her clearly.So she tugged on the sleeve of the dead leaf, and asked in a low voice, "What happened at Jin Shengxi's door?"

Dead Leaf lowered her head calmly, and led her around to the other side of the street.After gradually getting away from the crowd, Shumei heard him say: "The brothers of the Yan family are arguing at the door."

"Yanheng Yanqi?" Shumei was startled for a moment, and then a sneering sneer appeared on her face: "Oh, that prodigal son, who has no ability but wants to stand out!"

Hearing her scolding like this, Dead Leaf couldn't help but frowned and asked in a low voice: "What does this Jin Shengxi do? Why are there so many rich people?"

Shumei snorted with a sneer, and said, "All the gold is gone, and all the sentient beings are lost. I think it's joy——Jin Shengxi is a place that eats people and doesn't spit out their bones. It's the biggest gambling house in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Don't look at its small appearance. After entering , That’s a trick, let your prince go in and out of eunuchs, and ruin your family’s wealth.”

"You mean, the two of them are addicted to gambling?" Withered Ye stared at Shumei with suspicion.Although the Yan family was against the Zhan family in terms of business, he had followed Yan Heng twice before, and he seemed to be a relatively decent person.

"Yan Qi likes to gamble, but Yan Heng doesn't. It's a pity that he is no longer the head of the Yan family." Shumei said with a sneer, and after a while, her expression gradually returned to her previous indifferent look.Withered Leaf looked away with half understanding and half doubt, but she was still a little unclear.To be honest, he thinks that Yan Heng seems to be more capable, his temper is much calmer than Yan Qi's, and he is a talented person, and he is the eldest son. Master Yan has no reason to let the second son take over...

Shumei was walking while dragging the dead leaves, and inadvertently turned her head to catch a glimpse of his downcast and thoughtful expression.She snorted softly, drew her voice coldly, and said with a sneer: "Brother Cen, do you know why our young master hates Yan Heng so much?"

Hearing her addressing herself this way again, Dead Leaf couldn't help but twitched the corner of her mouth in depression.However, he was really curious about this matter, so he raised his eyes after a while, and put on a gesture of "willing to hear more about it".

At this time, the two had already walked out of the gate in the south of the city, and the houses on both sides were replaced by patches of green rice fields.Shumei let go of his sleeves, her arms slackened to hold the hilt of the long sword at her waist, and she looked forward with calm eyes.

"When the young master was young, the first person to call him a 'devil' in public was Yan Heng."

Zhan Hao is a child adopted by Zhan Tianxing and Yin Lanci. His biological mother is a neighbor of the Zhan family. She has already passed away, and her bones were scattered in a foreign country. Later, Zhan Hao found her and was buried in the southern suburb of Changzhou.

Zhan Hao knew from birth that for his family, women are just tools for inheritance.The father just needed a child who could inherit the blood of the island lord, and it didn't matter which woman gave birth to the child.

Zhan Hao could remember that his mother was a person of few words.His body is thin and thin, which is actually not suitable for childbirth. This also caused him to be weak and sick when he was a child. If he had a slight cold, he could easily develop into a high fever coma.So Zhan Hao actually once suspected that his father had... a little liking for his mother?That's why he chose to have children with her regardless of these reasons?

This was what he thought when he was a child, but when he grew up, Zhan Hao felt...it was impossible.When a man falls in love with someone, he will try his best to stay by her side, and he will try his best to treat her well, instead of leaving her cruelly behind, letting her face the hardships and sadness of life alone, and let her find love in hopeless search. died alone.

Back then, Zhan Hao's mother disappeared after giving birth to him.Zhan Hao knew that she was looking for her father, and also knew that she would never find him.He has never met his mother, but his father's impression of her remains in his mind, but it is also vague, and he only remembers her gentle face and delicate eyebrows and eyes.

In fact, I don't miss it particularly in my heart, but I can't forget it even for a day.

Just like this, with so many things in my heart, the innate mission, the vague memories of my grandparents, or hatred or melancholy, how can life be plain and simple?Zhan Tianxing said that he always looks full of worries, not like a child.Sometimes when Yin Lanci took him out, the neighbors would point and say, ah, this kid doesn't look like a child, gloomy, like a ghost!Those who know something, just say, this is not the Zhan family's baby, it's the former ghost spinning woman who conceived!It's a devil!

Every time Yin Lanci heard these nonsense remarks, she would stare and curse back fiercely, hugging Xiao Zhanhao tightly with both hands, cursing breathlessly.After coming and going, those gossip women didn't dare to talk too much, but this rumor gradually spread in private, and within a few days, more than half of the people in Changzhou prefecture believed it.Mingli also said that Zhan Hao was the eldest son of the Zhan family, but secretly they called him a devil.

At that time Yan Heng was still young, only two years older than Zhan Hao.Zhan Hao went to a private school at the age of seven, always sitting quietly in the school, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.The first time Yan Heng saw him, he felt that this child was different from other people. His eyes, like a quiet spring in a lake, were calm and penetrating, as if they could see through everything, and nothing in the mundane world could disturb him.Sometimes in class, I saw him looking out the window, and there was a red-billed sparrow outside the window, or two blue-green dragonflies, or a gust of wind was blowing by.The more I look at it, the more I can't hold back the throbbing in my heart.

Yet hatred is often born of love.

Yan Heng also tried to approach him and please him, but all of them were rejected by Zhan Hao without any trace.Too many times, the little patience is gradually worn away, and the child's sensitive self-esteem is frustrated again and again, so the vicious desire for revenge gradually overwhelms the fragile admiration.

In fact, at that time, Yan Heng's little tricks were not worth mentioning in Zhan Hao's eyes. After a long time, it was hard to remember at all.But later, Yan Heng touched Zhan Hao's Ni Lin.

"Your mother is making love with ghosts! A useless prodigal girl - if you can't marry someone, you will marry a ghost! Shameless and skinless!"

"Do you know where your mother is now! She's making a living in the next town! Nobody wants her! Dead! Dead——you can go see your ghost father!"

There are some things that Zhan Hao originally thought he could be indifferent to and turn a blind eye to, because his purpose in this life has nothing to do with those trivial matters, and he doesn't have to be upset about those trivial matters.

But he did so.

He himself didn't know where the anger came from, he had obviously never seen that woman before.

But he remembered, maybe it was his father's memory - he remembered the woman's light smile, the mole of tears under her eyes, her thin face; spinning day and night, the scars and calluses on her fingers, her pale eyes, her eyebrows slightly lowered Hanging; slender body, but has the most comfortable temperature.

She had held him in her arms, when he was just born.

A long time ago, she stood slumped in the middle of the road. When the night fell, she watched a tall and thin figure hesitate to go away, gradually disappearing into the night.

When that person was wandering, he once turned his head to look at her - he had a pair of deep and quiet black eyes, like a pool of quiet springs.

He Zhan Hao is not a devil, he has a father and a mother, and they love each other.

Who do you think you are - what qualifications do you have to use such vicious words to evaluate the past between them?What reason do you have, what high-sounding, brazen reason do you have-for you to say such things!Let you know nothing, know nothing!But say this kind of words!

Do you think you can afford the price of humiliating them?Let me tell you, you can’t afford it, you alone, your whole family—all, pay, no, pay!

"Do you know what the young master told us? The young master said that the Yan family will eventually become... nothing."

"After he took over the family affairs from the master, the first thing he did was to bring down the Furong Building in Yan Heng's hands, and then forced the Yan family out of the spice shop and tea shop. Since then, Yan Heng has been in a slump , his father also began to be disappointed in him."

"Do you know what the young master did afterwards?"

"The young master called him to Yuehua Building, and in front of everyone, changed what he said back then to a different set of insults, and returned it to him verbatim."

Shumei sat quietly on the tree, looking coldly at a yard with black tiles and white walls on the half slope of Luoying Mountain in the distance.The dead leaves stood on the other side of the branch, arms folded, silent.

"I have been with the young master for 13 years. He bought me from a human trafficker when he was 15 years old and told me that I have a pair of eyes that are very similar to his mother. I know what kind of person the young master is. I have been by his side for so long , although it is not thorough, but at least I understand him a little bit." Shumei said, turning her face away coldly, her eyes fixed on the dead leaves.

"A few days ago, other sisters told me that the young master was rejected by others. I thought it was someone who was so arrogant, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Hearing the words, Dead Leaf couldn't help but froze, and unconsciously blinked her eyes twice, looking a little guilty.He didn't move, he was still looking ahead, but his eyes had begun to lose their sharpness, his throat moved twice, and the corners of his mouth tightened involuntarily.

Shumei stared at him fixedly, and said slowly and coldly: "I hate others to say that the young master is indifferent and indifferent! You are not by his side, you have not watched him come over these years, what do you know? Yan Heng used to You are young and ignorant, reckless and ignorant, do you want to be as stupid as him? Dead leaf, you are a person who has gone through the rivers and lakes. Thanks to my experience, I thought you might be able to understand the young master and relax his heart. You are just like those people!"

"The master is gone, the lady is gone, and the second young master is gone. How do you think the young master came here by himself these days? Apart from them, the young master has not been so close to anyone for a long time. If you also think that the young master is a heartless devil , then you should leave. The Zhan Family doesn’t need unfaithful people, they are going to leave anyway, why not get out early!”

After Shumei finished speaking coldly, she turned her face away and jumped forward, quickly sinking into the woods on the left.The other three people hiding in other places also followed her and flew to the other side of the mountain, bringing a gust of wind among the trees.

The dead leaf stood stiffly on the branch, and couldn't even move its fingers properly for a while... The words of Shumei couldn't stop thinking about it.

The young master has not been so close to a person for a long time.

If you also think he is a ruthless person, then leave early.

Anyway, we have to go.

Thinking of this, Dead Ye suddenly felt a little stuffy, unreasonable... In his chest, in his heart, he was very irritable and annoyed!He wanted to scold Shumei, yell at her, I am different from those people!How could I be like those people!

But he couldn't deny that he did say that Zhan Hao was ruthless and unintentional, and he said it in front of others.

But...how can this be my fault? !Zhan Hao doesn't say anything, doesn't show anything, and acts like nothing matters all day long, nothing important... How do I know he's not feeling well?How do I know he's not feeling well? !

He obviously doesn't care at all!

What kind of messy emotions, what kind of person, maybe Zhan Hao himself didn't feel that way at all, it's all you people who are making wild guesses, and you are making these sad imaginations... I am different from you!I'm not like you, I have nothing to do when I'm full, and I know how to figure out other people's thoughts all day long!Crazy, blame me, blame me!Also, tell me to get out early!

Yes, I am leaving!I didn't intend to stay too long at all, don't make it sound like I'm sloppy!It was your master who told me to stay at first!It's him Zhan Hao!Not for me to stay by myself!

Yes, it's him...

He beat the tree trunk angrily, and the dead leaves were so angry that they were short of breath.He sat down dejectedly, staring at the villa with annoyed and depressed eyes.Shumei and the others probably haven't done anything yet, and the two men in black guarding the door haven't moved yet.When he was observing the situation just now, he noticed that the brothers of the Wang family and the old Xiao were there, just because of Shumei and their four daughters... I love his Zhan Hao!Why do you always like to ask girls to take risks!Shouldn't men with rough skin and thick flesh be given priority? !What the hell is wrong with his head!

It's okay to be nagging all day long and make people unpredictable!Just bully people all the time!Can't he be more reliable in doing things? !What can four women do? !Rush forward to die!Damn, that's Shadow Gate, Shadow Gate!idiot!

Dead Leaf was so angry that Zhan Hao was going crazy. He thought that he was really as wise and powerful as usual, but in fact he did some unreliable things!I don’t know which tendon is wrong, so I picked him up, threw a cat to him, picked flowers for him, and drank at his door in the middle of the night!And climbed into his bed to sleep!Neuropathy, neuropathy!

Such a person, what are you so desperate for?What is there to maintain?Didn't you tell me to leave early?Damn, I really don't care about him!Go hold it as a treasure, let Yan Heng and Lin Zhihuan be rare!

Withered Ye frowned, couldn't help but gritted his teeth and punched the tree trunk hard, his chest heaved violently, and his breathing was difficult.

The entire yew forest was densely shrouded in light rain, and the air was stuffy.Withered Ye endured the irritating temperature, only feeling that the true energy in his body was rushing around!He stared fiercely at the villa not far away, thinking about what Shumei said just now, he was really annoyed and annoyed.

Thanks to him honestly torturing Ren Zhanhao for so long, he got such an evaluation in the end!Why should he do this!

Just go, who cares...the sky is big and the earth is big, and you still worry about not being able to find something to do?Ah!

Withered Leaf sneered angrily, and wanted to walk away gracefully, but in the end she couldn't get angry, and angrily drew a knife and cut off a section of the branch.The branches fell to the ground "hula-la", making a series of rattling sounds.This made Dead Leaf startled, remembering that Shumei was still preparing to rescue Pei Xi over there, wouldn't he startle the snake by cutting it off?Shocked, he looked up, only to find that the two men in black guarding the gate of the villa had disappeared!

In a daze, the branch fell completely to the ground, and the sound stopped.At this time, the faint clanging of swords and swords in the distant house came to the ears——Shumei and the others had already made a move.

Dead Leaf couldn't help but clenched the knife tightly, her eyes were fixed on that side, and her body tensed involuntarily.There was no one outside, Lao Xiao and the Wang family brothers were inside, Shumei and the others were only four of them, four against three, plus a few young men, the odds of winning were really slim.

At this time, a woman's wailing suddenly came from a distant room, and Dead Leaf's mind trembled, and his fingers instantly scratched the bark of the fir tree.The voice just now was not Shumei, it should be another girl... Wait!

Immediately afterwards, there was an all-out roar, through the clanging of swords, and the scream of a child.Accompanied by these sounds, there was a sudden sound of whips.

That sound just now...is Shumei, the child is Pei Xi, and the sound of the whip...

There is only one person who uses a whip in Shadow Gate.

The head of the Shadow Gate, Nian Yuqing.

Shumei never expected that the head of the Shadow Gate would be here.She squatted here for two nights and one day before, and never saw him come in or out.If it wasn't that he didn't move his nest in the first place, it should be that he cleverly avoided their sight.

The four of them are the best guards in the Zhan family's martial arts, even better than Quan Jing.She had estimated the kung fu of Lao Xiao and the brothers of the Wang family, and it was almost the same one-on-one.If Zhan Hao didn't let the dead leaves follow, maybe she would bring an extra person just in case.But in fact, she was already angry with the dead leaves in her heart, and she held it back at first, but after talking, she couldn't help it—she really couldn't stand others talking about Zhan Hao like that, she couldn't bear it no matter what. no.

So she spoke up.She didn't care if the dead leaves would be pissed off by him-although the operation would be a bit uncertain if the dead leaves were gone-but she didn't care.If Dead Leaf left after saying this, it could only show that he was not trustworthy in the first place, so it would be better if he left early.But if he stays...

Hmph, stay and stay, there is nothing to say.

With such thoughts in mind, the moment Shumei attacked, she had already decided to fight to the death with the people from Shadow Gate.It's not because that child, Pei Xi, is so important, but because this matter involves the Lin family, the Yan family, and their Zhan family.She doesn't want Yan Qi to have the upper hand in anything, not even a little bit, not temporarily.

It doesn't matter how great help he has hired.Their lives were picked up by Zhan Hao, so it's okay to give them back to him.

Pei Xi was guarded in the central room of the villa, and when Shumei dealt with the two young men and rushed there, the Wang family brothers were already waiting.Little Pei Xi was tied to a stool by them, his wrists and ankles were red from being strangled.While the other three sisters were dealing with them, Shumei wanted to go over and untie Pei Xi, but the eccentric old Xiao fell upside down from the beam and almost cut off her right arm.

What followed was a fierce battle.One of the Wang family brothers was scratched on the side by them, and then a girl was pierced through the shoulder.Those three guys were more powerful than expected, and their tricks were weird and tricky.Just as she swung her sword back at Old Xiao and was about to grab Pei Xi's shoulder with her hand, she was suddenly hit hard on the back—at that moment, all she thought was that it was not a sword or a palm.The thing that hit her back was long and soft, sticking from her shoulders to her lower back.

Immediately, a burning pain spread from the back.Shumei let out a roar of pain, and couldn't help but raise her neck... She saw a masked man in black rushing towards her like a ghost, holding a long black whip in his hand.

It turned out...it was a whip.

When Dead Leaf quietly sneaked into the room, Shumei's hand was broken, and Nian Yuqing rolled her up with a whip and slammed her hard on the wall.The child Pei Xi was tied up in a chair, watching the gray-clothed elder sister fall to the ground dying, unable to do anything but bit her lip and cry.The other three girls also gradually lost their positions and were beaten to retreat.

Withered Leaf frowned, tensely waiting for the opportunity.He heard Nian Yuqing speak, and the other party sneered in a low voice and said, "I won't kill you, I just want to cut off your hands. Go back and tell Zhan Hao that he will have to pay back the debt he owes sooner or later. And That dead leaf... I've been thinking about it for a long time." After finishing speaking, Nian Yuqing sneered and swung the long whip in his hand, intending to break Shumei's arm protecting her body, but didn't want to see the side corridor However, a figure flew out, and took his whip abruptly.

The man grabbed the end of the whip and landed next to Shumei, pulling her up and hugging her in his arms. At the same time, he pulled the whip, and the long whip was tightened between the two of them with equal strength.

Nian Yuqing frowned and looked intently, and couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Dead leaves!"

Withered Leaf stared at him coldly, her strength in her hands was unrelenting.Seeing him, the brothers of the Wang family and the old Xiao couldn't help but stop. Their eyes were a little surprised at first, but then they harbored malicious intentions: "Oh, who is this masked man? Isn't this a dead leaf? Why, In the past, we couldn’t even invite them, but now we’ve become lackeys of the Zhan family?”

Dead Leaves ignored them at all, and only stared at Nian Yuqing.Shumei leaned against his arms tremblingly, her eyes showing strong and incredible emotions.She really didn't have much hope, she thought that the dead leaves should go, but now...

"Before you talk about me, why don't you talk about yourself first? Yan's family is defeated by Zhan Hao, but you have chosen a good master - you are both bereaved dogs, so you must be more sympathetic to each other?" Withered Ye sneered, absolutely Rebuttal without showing weakness.

The old xiao was furious at what he said, and jumped up in a demonic manner, wanting to scold, but Nian Yuqing reached out to stop him.With a faint smile on his face, he stared at the dead leaves and said unhurriedly: "I haven't seen you for almost two years, and I'm a bit tongue-in-cheek, but who told you that we are working for the Yan family? The news about that person is too much." Not bright anymore."

"Really?" Withered Leaf snorted contemptuously, curled her lips and said, "That's right, is this the mountain of the Lin family? Ha, that's even more ridiculous. Don't you know that Lin Zhihuan is one of Zhan Hao's admirers? Being dumped After six years, he still can’t forget it. People obviously ignored him, but he never gave up. This person is really cheap, don’t you think?”

As soon as the words came out, Kuye knew that his unintentional counterattack just hit Nian Yuqing's sore spot—the other party's eyes that were still at ease just now became vicious, and their eyes were full of resentment and annoyance: "Withered Ye Unfortunately, I still want to discuss it with you kindly, but you choose to toast and not eat fine wine!"

"Coincidentally, I like fine wine—" Withered Ye said in a cold voice, fixed her eyes on Nian Yuqing, and carefully put Shumei down with her hand.He slowly moved two steps to the outside, and drew out the dead leaf knife with his left hand, with the tip of the knife slightly turned outward.

"—You mustn't be polite to me."

At night, the light rain that had been pattering during the day suddenly became heavier.Zhan Hao sat by the window, absently fiddling with the abacus with his fingers.After reluctantly calculating a few lines of accounts, the movement finally stopped.He looked up at the rain outside the window. For some reason, his right eyelid kept throbbing.

Zhan Hao felt a little anxious and restless in his heart, and this feeling was not because of some unknown dangers—he had never been afraid of anything before, but just felt a little uneasy.

He took a deep breath, his eyes subconsciously slid around the table, and then he remembered that he hadn't smoked for a while.The pipe was kept in my hometown in Changzhou, and I didn't even bring it over.

Under the irritability, Zhan Hao couldn't help supporting his forehead with his hands, and sighed softly.

The leaves of the canna were "slapped" by the rain, and the green leaves were washed clean.Zhan Hao stared at it quietly, in order to calm down the anxiety in his heart, he began to carefully count the buds in the leaves.

Yellow cannas, red cannas.There are seven or eight flower buds, and they will probably bloom tomorrow.Tomorrow, the weather will be fine.

For some reason, Zhan Hao suddenly remembered that night, leaning against the window sill and burying his head in his meal under the moonlight, with purple jasmine in his hair.From that day on, he often made late-night snacks for the dead leaves, because he knew that he was hungry very quickly at night, but he actually had some thoughts.Zhan Hao knows that sometimes the most insignificant things have the most powerful power. He is nothing special to Dead Leaf, so he can only start from small things.

Bit by bit, bit by bit, the opponent's defenses were devoured.Little by little, he was restrained so that he could not leave his side.

Staring at the green plants in the rain curtain, Zhan Hao held the few rain flower stones in his hand, and slowly and vigorously rolled them.

It's easy to hide things, sounds, or shadows on a rainy night.Normally, Zhan Hao could easily detect the fluctuations in the air and the changes in the surrounding atmosphere, but today—maybe it was raining too hard, or maybe his mind was elsewhere—in short, when he When he noticed a person standing in the doorway on the left side of the courtyard, the other party had already entered his defense range.

Zhan Hao's temples twitched faintly, his fingers stopped suddenly, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

The other party was standing in the porch, most of his face was covered by the hood of the poncho, only showing a delicate chin and a pair of tasseled red lips.Not tall, described as a little thin, she is a young woman.

In Zhan Hao's memory, he didn't remember that he knew such a person - if it wasn't an old friend, it should be someone related to recent events.Staring quietly at the other party for a while, Zhan Hao raised his chin slightly, and said calmly: "Miss Dai Yue, why are you visiting late at night?"

The girl's body moved slightly, and she walked slowly towards this side.On a rainy night, the wind blows from the door opening to the window, and Zhan Hao clearly smells the smell of gunpowder.

He stood up in a leisurely manner, and said with a low laugh: "It's raining so hard, you're not afraid of the gunpowder getting wet."

Dai Yue quietly walked to the door of his room, took off the hood, revealing a thin, charming face.She raised her Danfeng eyes lightly, and the eyeballs moved to Zhan Hao, and the two stared straight at each other.By candlelight, Zhan Hao's pupils gradually enlarged, and his eyes exuded a faint magic. Dai Yue stared hard at him, blinked suddenly, then lowered his eyelids unbearably, and whispered: "Boss Zhan's pupil skills are superb, and the eyes of the world are very good." It's hard to see, Dai Yue's trip is coming here, please be merciful." While speaking, her body trembled faintly, and the veins on the back of her hands rose up, as if she was trying her best.

Zhan Hao lowered his eyes to look at her, as if he was thinking about whether her words were true or not.After a while, he blinked suddenly, and the strange light in his eyes faded away.Dai Yue's body suddenly loosened, as if a certain hand around her neck was suddenly loosened, and she almost fell to the ground slumped.

She pressed her chest and breathed heavily, a layer of cold sweat oozing from her back.Zhan Hao sat in the chair leisurely, looked at her with downcast eyes, and said slowly: "Aren't you from Shadow Gate, why do you want to submit to me all of a sudden?"

Dai Yue turned her head to look at him in embarrassment, gasped and said: "The winner is king and the loser is Kou, they are destined to defeat you, I don't want to be implicated..."

"Huh? That's a good reason." Zhan Hao raised his eyebrows approvingly, and tilted his head while speaking, showing a relaxed and contented look.Dai Yue stared at him and managed to catch her breath before saying again: "Boss Zhan, I know you are not an ordinary person. The sect master is stupid and was deceived by that Lin Zhihuan, but I am not stupid. I know that it is wrong to fight against you." What will happen..."

"Oh, then how did you know?" Zhan Hao leaned over, lowered his head and interrupted her.Dai Yue froze slightly, stared nervously at his slightly narrowed eyes, and slowly said: "I once met an expert who taught me a thing or two..."

"Which expert?" Zhan Hao stared at her closely, a smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth.

Dai Yue bent her lips stiffly, trying to make a natural and frank posture, and said: "He said, if you ask, I will tell you not to ask, anyway... It's not something that you need to know. I just told him But we met by chance, he just showed me a bright way on a whim."

Zhan Hao frowned: "On a whim?"

Dai Yue smiled reluctantly, stood up straight, straightened her slightly messy clothes, and said in a low voice: "He didn't tell me his name, and if you ask again, I still don't know."

"Then I won't ask his name, just tell me what he looks like." Zhan Hao raised his eyebrows unhurriedly, and took a sip of tea leisurely.Dai Yue felt palpitations when he saw him, and the emotion in her phoenix eyes flickered hesitantly.Zhan Hao saw that she looked at him hesitantly, and seemed to want to say something, but finally swallowed it down: "That gentleman is kind to me, he told me not to say it, and it won't help if you know about it. Boss Zhan still doesn't trust me, so..." Dai Yue said, her voice elongated faintly, and her eyes recovered a little bit of calmness at the beginning, "Dai Yue is willing to exchange your trust with one thing."

Zhan Hao stood up expressionlessly, and approached unhurriedly, with the aura around him domineering over him.He frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I am most disgusted when people negotiate conditions with me, especially when the other party is not qualified at all."

"I believe that some of the things I know must be what you want." Dai Yue took a deep breath and tried to support her back so that she would not be intimidated by Zhan Hao's aura.She looked at Zhan Hao urgently and persistently, her eyes fell on his slightly frowning brows, and she said in a trembling and elongated voice: "Do you want to know why the dead leaf martial arts are so good, but they are still burned by me?" face?"

After Dai Yue left, the rain outside the window gradually subsided.The clouds and mist in the sky slowly dissipated, revealing a wet dark blue night sky, with a few dim stars flickering faintly, and the Milky Way could not be seen.

Zhan Hao felt that he was in a very bad mood, very bad.

He has always known that he is a poor and dull person, and he always lacks a strong emotion for things, so others feel impersonal when they look at him.In the past, he was satisfied with his character, after all, there was nothing to love in life, and when sixty years passed, he had to go, come naked, go naked.

... It's not that I don't feel that life is boring, and it's not that I don't yearn for waves.When I don't know the feeling of sadness, I always think about it, and want to taste what it feels like to be unhappy.But when it really came, he understood the bitterness of this feeling.

Before he fell in love with Dead Leaf, Zhan Hao remembered that he used Bai Yutang to stimulate him, and every time the name was mentioned, Dead Leaf would definitely blow up. Ye likes Bai Yutang.But after falling in love with Dead Leaf, Dead Leaf didn't say anything, she just cared about teasing him, and slowly forgot this fact.

Every time before, Dead Leaf retorted angrily, saying that she didn't like Bai Yutang, but she obviously didn't mention the word "like" at that time, but she just made a side note, which attracted him so much.
