subordinates dare not

If there is any floating coercion, it froze into ice for an instant, and even the howling hot wind became cold, and everything was silent for a moment, and even the annoying mosquitoes ran away with oil on the soles of their feet, so only Bian Qingyu was left. Alone, quietly, alone facing the turbulent undercurrent.

Duan Jinghong on the opposite side laughed a few more times, seemed to be very happy, and then he seemed to be chatting about family affairs, and suddenly asked, "Ah Yu, why do you suddenly want to untie the heart-linking Gu?"

For a while, Bian Qingyu was stiff and his face was ugly, as if thousands of poisonous insects were about to move, slowly climbing up from his back, so Bian Qingyu could only move, otherwise he would die unexpectedly, under this creepy coercion , he tried his best to maintain calm, and then almost squeezed out two words from his throat, the hatred rolled on the tip of his tongue, and finally swallowed it back to a safe place, and finally popped out from his jaw, after several struggles, finally changed He said in a flat tone, "...Your Majesty."

"Ah Yu is still so smart." Duan Jinghong smiled and poured himself another cup of tea.

The fragrance of tea is overflowing and dense, but it is so sweet and greasy that it makes Bian Qingyu feel sick.

"It's been a long time since I saw Ah Yu, I miss you so much."

Bian Qingyu just suppressed his trembling voice and replied in an ordinary manner, "Thanks to Your Majesty's love."

"It's rare to see you, I have a lot to say to you." Duan Jinghong laughed loudly, and then stared at Bian Qingyu unabashedly, like a hunter looking at his prey.

"Ah Yu, tell me first, why do you want to untie the heart-linking Gu?" Duan Jinghong asked absent-mindedly, with a light and light tone, like the touch of a feather gently brushing against the skin.

Bian Qingyu immediately became alert, and the whole body's senses were subconsciously mobilized, which has become a habit. He even involuntarily quickened his breathing, which was rare. , "Because the heart-linking Gu makes the relationship between life and death between the two of you, if I die, your lord will be seriously injured. I am just a broken body with a humble life. I am afraid that I will die in Jianghuai in the future. Your lord will also die in Beishuo." You will be implicated and ruin your plan to unify the rivers and lakes."

"Oh?" Duan Jinghong blew up the floating leaves in the teacup boredly, and finally lifted his eyelids to glance at Bian Qingyu's face, "Really? With Ah Yu's martial arts and mind, it shouldn't be so easy to die Jianghuai, Ah Yu must have underestimated himself."

Bian Qingyu paused for a while, then lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty thinks highly of Ah Yu." He even referred to himself as 'A Yu'. On a hot summer day, there was already a layer of cold sweat on my back.

"Why do you think so highly of you?" Duan Jinghong raised his eyebrows, "Your martial arts is handed over by me, and it is more than enough to deal with Jianghuai's little fellows."

"Ah Yu, don't underestimate yourself."

Bian Qingyu couldn't think of a good answer for a while, so he had no choice but to stay silent.

"Why don't you talk anymore? Could it be that we haven't seen each other for so many years, you and I are born?" Duan Jinghong suddenly leaned forward with his upper body, "Or are you afraid of me? I thought you dared to escape from the Demon Sect , you are not afraid of anything anymore."

Bian Qingyu's heart skipped a beat suddenly.

"My lord misunderstood, it was me—"

"Misunderstand what?" Duan Jinghong half-closed his eyes and looked at Bai Yu lazily. His face was still so pale that he almost lost his blood. Tell me so, if you don’t remember, I can help you remember.”

Bian Qingyu's lips began to turn pale.

"Back then, the power of the leader of the Demon Cult was evaded, and my order became empty talk. The group of stubborn old men in Beishuo became the core of the power of the Demon Cult. Later, for some reason, the decent group of people quarreled and said they were going to kill them. I, the battle against demons in Xuzhou is about to break out, it's you, come to me and listen to the wind."

Duan Jinghong leisurely admired the ugly face of the person opposite, "You say, I can use this battle to feign death, and then secretly transfer the power of the Demon Cult to Beishuo, and take advantage of the unpreparedness of those stubborn old people in Beishuo to wipe out all of them." Lose."

"This is indeed a good strategy. I think it is feasible, so I readily accept it. Then I ask you, do you have a more specific plan?"

"So you gave me a detailed road map for evacuating Xuzhou and going to Beishuo, including your own course of action. It stands to reason that we should meet in Beishuo 150 years ago." He got up slowly, walked Go to Bai Yu's side, look down at the smooth bridge of the nose and tight lips, "Not now, Bai Yu."

He pinched Bai Yu's chin with his thumb and index finger, forced him to turn his head, and asked coldly, "Why did you run away?"

"...Your Majesty." Even though the faces of the two were facing each other, Bian Qingyu lowered his eyes to avoid Duan Jinghong's gaze, "Because I accidentally met a decent person on the road, and I seemed to arouse his suspicion. , so I had no choice but to suspend the operation temporarily to prevent the whereabouts of my lord from being exposed, and to ensure that the plan was foolproof, I didn't even dare to send a letter to my lord."

"Look at me." Duan Jinghong said suddenly.

Bian Qingyu had no choice but to meet Duan Jinghong's eyes.

"A decent person?" Duan Jinghong stared at Bian Qingyu, "What sect?"

"The Celestial Rights faction."

"Then what happened afterwards? For more than 100 years, why didn't you come to Beishuo to find me?" Duan Jinghong continued to ask.

"Because I couldn't find it." Bian Qingyu slowed down his speech, "I hardly have any connections in Beishuo, and the connections that I have come into contact with this time for offering rewards and secret orders are also accumulated by me over decades. I dare not act rashly, Beishuo still has many demon sect forces that are hostile to His Majesty, I am even more afraid of arousing their vigilance, revealing His Majesty's whereabouts, and making His Majesty's great plan fall by the wayside."

"Then when I sent Fu Chenghe to pick you up, why didn't you come back with him?" Duan Jinghong proudly admired the fingerprints he had left on Bianqingyu's chin, but the strength in his hand did not relax, "With your Wisdom, you should be able to guess that since I dared to send Fu Chenghe to pick you up, it means that Beishuo's lair has been taken over by me. Now that I am the king of the Beishuo Demon Sect, you don't have to be afraid of alarming anyone. But you refused, why? ?”

"Because..." Bian Qingyu's voice was a little hoarse, "Under the circumstances at that time, I couldn't leave directly. Your lord should know that I was walking with the owner of Wuwei Villa that day. If I disappeared, he would be there soon. I know, and will mobilize his contacts to find me. Wuwei Villa's contacts... are very extensive, and I must be aware of it in my heart." Bian Qingyu didn't go on, deliberately left a few points blank, but he knew that Duan Jinghong could clear.

Duan Jinghong didn't speak any more when he heard the words, but continued to stare at Bian Qingyu with deep eyes.

The deafening heartbeat filled my ears. Bian Qingyu tried hard to maintain calm, making his expression impeccable. Time seemed to be stretched endlessly, and every minute and every second was suffering. Jinghong finally let go of the hand that clamped his chin slowly, and began to applaud once and for all.

"I haven't seen you for many years, Ah Yu's thoughts are even more meticulous than mine. As expected, I taught him." Duan Jinghong suddenly had a look of disdain on his face, "Many people in the Devil's Cult are idiots. A little bit of calculation reveals the true nature, emotions are all written on the face, and even the simplest 'forbearance' can't be done, sometimes, I think it's really boring to work with those people."

"But you are different."

Duan Jinghong's hand slid across Bian Qingyu's jawline, it was greasy, like a poisonous snake spitting out a snake letter, Bian Qingyu wanted to avoid it, but he held back.

"If your appearance is a little bit worse, I think I will take you under my command, you will become the leader of the Demon Cult, and you will be an excellent candidate for an ally." Duan Jinghong laughed, Xia Ri's clothes were very thin , Duan Jinghong brushed the other party's collarbone through the cloth, "But you are a beauty, so I choose to keep it for myself and leave my mark on your body, such as the center of your eyebrows—"

Having said that, when the eyes fell on Bai Yu's face, he found that his forehead was clean and flawless, and there was nothing there.

"In order to cover up that mark, you even wore a human skin mask." Duan Jinghong frowned suddenly, "Just now I was only interested in asking about your past, but I forgot to mention you."

This expression naturally fell into the eyes of the vigilant Bian Qingyu, who lowered his eyes and replied: "Yes."

"Take off the mask."

Duan Jinghong said in a deep voice, with the meaning that no rejection was allowed in his tone.

Bian Qingyu immediately took out a porcelain bottle from his body, dripped the juice on his fingertips, and then began to rub the outermost contour of his face, but after a while, the skin on his face began to wrinkle, Bian Qingyu gently peeled it off, The human skin mask finally fell off, revealing a face that no one in Jiang Hu had ever seen before——

In fact, the facial features are not much different from those when wearing a human skin mask, but they are more refined.His eyes are narrow and long, but his pupils are black and bright, and the upturned eye ends are even more charming. The line of the bridge of his nose is smooth, as if cut out by one knife, without any protruding peaks. His natural lip color Bright red, as if devouring blood.

Even with the familiar appearance in his memory, Duan Jinghong had to admit that he was still amazed at first glance.

Duan Jinghong's gaze wandered upstream, and this time, he finally found the mark between the eyebrows of the other party. Duan Jinghong stabbed it with his own hands, and it belongs to the symbol of the Demon Cult——

A black lotus.

On fair to transparent skin, it is eye-catching and gorgeous.

Back then, Duan Jinghong tried every means to tame a snow wolf that was docile on the surface but secretly ambitious. When he was using the heart voodoo, he was even reluctant to cut Bai Yu's skin with a knife, but he was willing to tattoo a tattoo on the white and jade-like eyebrows of the other party. lotus flower.The demon's tattoos are not ink, but a highly poisonous black plant juice. As long as the white fish tries to force it out with internal force, it will die.

On the contrary, as long as Baiyu leaves this imprint peacefully——

Then he will be inseparable from the Demon Cult all his life.

"I thought you ruined the tattoo between your eyebrows." Duan Jinghong said slowly.

"Your Majesty is too worried."

Duan Jinghong suddenly changed the subject again, and said casually: "After destroying the old nest of Beishuo Demon Sect, I inquired about your whereabouts, and later found out that you became the head of Tianshu Sect, Bian Qingyu. I am worried about the name of the new sect I set up, I just borrowed a word from your name and borrowed a word from my name, so I have Qing Hongmen."

"Do you like it?" Duan Jinghong asked with a smile.

"Thank you for your great love." Bian Qingyu replied respectfully, but what he thought in his heart was that in this case, it is probably not a coincidence that Fushan and his party met Duan Jinghong.

Duan Jinghong laughed again, "I also heard that you are very close to Wuwei Villa and Qiongguang Valley."

"I'll win over the Tianshu faction first, Wuwei Villa and Qiongguanggu's forces on behalf of your lord. In the future, your lord will travel to and from the Jianghuai River, and the process of unifying the rivers and lakes will be faster."

At this time, there was a knock on the compartment door, and a waiter brought a white porcelain teacup, and then left quietly.

Duan Jinghong lifted the lid of the tea leisurely and put it aside, "I prepared it for you, drink it."

Bian Qingyu took a look inside, and saw a cup of thick, unidentified brown liquid, the color was definitely not tea, most likely there was something else in it, the memory of being forced to feed the Lianxin Gu suddenly flooded in , Bian Qingyu's abdomen convulsed, and he didn't move for a while.

"I also know that the owner of Wuwei Villa lives in the second alley of West Street. Tonight, the owner of Qiongguanggu Valley will take the official road to go back, passing through Qinghong Pavilion, a famous brothel in Beishuo. After all, Beishuo is mine. Site." Duan Jinghong added unhurriedly.

After speaking, a dead silence spread, Bian Qingyu's pupils constricted, and after a while, he spoke again——

"Your Majesty...the owner of Wuwei Mountain Villa and the owner of Qiongguang Valley can't die..." Bian Qingyu's tone finally trembled slightly, "The action is too big, and decent people will notice..."

"Ah Yu, don't be nervous." Duan Jinghong thought it was funny, "I didn't say I was going to kill them."

Bian Qingyu was silent for a while, he lowered his head, his eyes were full of emotions, and after a long time he asked softly, "Is it because I drank it that they won't die this trip?"

Duan Jinghong suddenly smiled slightly, "If you don't drink, they will definitely die."

Bian Qingyu suddenly picked up the porcelain cup, raised his head, rolled his Adam's apple, and drank it all in one gulp. Then he put the porcelain cup back. Unfortunately, the movement was too fast, and before he could stabilize it, his hand left, so the porcelain cup swung in a circle and fell down. On the table, a few drops of beige residue splashed.

Duan Jinghong stroked the porcelain cup patiently, "Aren't you going to ask me what I asked you to drink?"

"no need."

Duan Jinghong continued to say without heeding, "Over the years, my Gu skills have improved a lot. If you don't understand medical skills, I won't go into details with you. In short, you just need to understand—" Duan Jinghong suddenly lowered his voice, One word at a time, "Drink it, no one in the world can decipher the heart-linking Gu in your body."

Bian Qingyu had no other expression on his face when he heard the words, he just asked softly, "How can I let the Lord let Wuwei Villa and Qiongguang Valley go this time?"

"It's rare for these two to come to Beishuo once. Beishuo is my territory. You want me to let them go? You know, if these two are in Jianghuai, there is nothing I can do, but in Beishuo, I have ten thousand ways. Get rid of them without revealing the Demon Cult's whereabouts." Duan Jinghong narrowed his eyes, "Ah Yu, you want to negotiate terms with me, and want me to let go of such an excellent opportunity, you have to exchange something. "

Bian Qingyu's pupils shrank slightly, he seemed to understand Duan Jinghong's meaning, but he said with the last sliver of hope: "Bai Yu is stupid, please show me clearly."

Duan Jinghong took a step forward, supporting Bian Qingyu with one hand on the table and the other on the back of the chair, making him have nowhere to escape.

"Take it off."

"All."
