no puppet

Yin Chun looked sideways, subconsciously stepped forward with his shackled arms, grabbed Xie Hengyan's clothes corners fiercely, and tried to drag him back.

But he was easily pushed away.

When he turned his head, it was still the same handsome face with a smile, but the tip of his chin was dripping with water in embarrassment.

Xie Hengyan didn't wipe the drops of water off his face, nor turned his head to look at Yin Chun again, but just stared at Xie Cong's dark and dark eyes, and then said softly: "I brought you here, what do you want to say?" , let’s talk about it together.”

Xie Cong turned around and sat back in the wooden rattan chair behind the screen, his expression remained unchanged, except for his cold eyes of scrutiny, which made Yin Chun feel extremely depressed and uncomfortable.

After a while, Xie Cong said lazily: "This man is Cheng Daofeng's apprentice."

It's not a question, it's an affirmation.

Yin Chun couldn't figure out why he knew it so clearly, the only one who could think of the connection between the two was Xie Hengyan, who was as gentle as a dog beside him.

He didn't look like Xie Cong's son at all, he was simply a dog he raised.Although the similarities between the two were creepy, Xie Hengyan just stood there, letting the man opposite him kick and beat him, pouring water and tea, without complaining at all.

Even if Xie Cong drew his sword and rushed to kill him, he might not have any will to resist.

However, Xie Hengyan did not give an answer at this time, Xie Cong raised his arm slightly, hooked his hand at Yin Chun, and said, "Come here."

Yin Chun pretended not to hear, and stood still for a long time.

"Go over." Xie Hengyan elbowed him, "Don't be stubborn."

As a result, Yin Chung's face became more and more cold, he turned his shoulders almost in disgust, and pushed Xie Hengyan aside with his backhand, and the next moment, Xie Cong stretched out his hand to pinch the front of his chest, lifted it up, and twisted it To the point where it is almost torn apart.

"Naturally rebellious, with a stubborn and stupid face, exactly the same as Cheng Daofeng's immortal dog." Xie Cong turned to look at Xie Hengyan, "...Why did you fall for him? Are you blind?"

Xie Hengyan was ambiguous: "We've known each other for a long time, we're old friends...he's different from Cheng Daofeng."

"What kind of old friend, you have a fart friend!" Xie Cong suddenly shouted, "Have you obtained my permission to associate with this kind of dirty thing?"

Yin Chung raised his eyes suddenly, and was almost about to twist Xie Cong's neck, but was firmly stopped by Xie Hengyan in the middle, pushed aside, and continued to look at Xie Cong, saying: "If you don't have it, you don't have it... What are you talking about?" It's all right. Anyway—you suddenly disappeared and then appeared again, and you don't need to consider how I feel."

Xie Cong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Say it again?"

Xie Hengyan's throat choked up, she braced herself, and didn't dare to speak out again.

"I said a long time ago that you don't want to interfere with anything related to me." Xie Cong said arrogantly, "It's good now, just catch me a lackey from the Biyu Mansion...... What do you want me to do with it?" Him? Take it back to Tongjing Island, or throw it into the sea to feed the fish?"

Xie Hengyan said: "You can take a boat out and let him go back."

"Am I crazy?" Xie Cong asked back, "When he sees Cheng Daofeng later, he will take the Rong family out to sea to catch up with the island... At that time, it will affect the imperial court behind the capital. Do you want to see Tongjing Island like 20 years ago?" Were you surrounded and burned to ashes like you came to Fengzhen?"

Xie Hengyan was silent. He frowned and stared into Xie Cong's eyes without moving.After a long while, he lowered his eyelashes again, and said timidly in a low voice, "So you don't look like this..."

Xie Cong's back stiffened, and his entire facial features froze.

"What did you raise on the boat? I've never seen those puppets before." Xie Hengyan's voice trembled slightly, "And Li Haishuang, I don't know when you rescued her. What exactly do you want to do? ? Make enemies with Bi Yufu?"

Xie Cong didn't look him in the eyes: "You ask too many questions."

"Father, you are not someone who likes to take the initiative." Xie Hengyan stepped forward and tugged at his sleeve, "I used to think that it was because I didn't do well in many places, and you disliked me so much that you wanted to throw me away. I deserve it. But now I feel that you left me on purpose—you tamed a puppet that was close to a ship, you saved Li Haishuang and her deformed husband, and you summoned the puppet bird that came to Feng Town. And killing so many innocent people...why would you do this?"

"...I just went to the town to meet an old friend after many years." Xie Cong said leisurely, "What's more, the group of worms in Laifeng Town, don't they all deserve what they deserve?"

"...What's their crime?" Yin Chun suddenly asked at that time, "It's just a group of ordinary people with no power to restrain them, why should they be insulted and abused by you like this?"

Xie Hengyan called him in a low voice: "Yin Chun!"

"You let him talk." Xie Cong smiled strangely, and looked at Yinzhu's cold eyes, "When Cheng Dao encountered this man's stains, I especially want to know what the apprentice he brought out looks like .”

Yin Chun said, "What is my master's stain that cannot be washed away?"

Xie Cong didn't give a direct answer. He just lowered his head and brought over the teapot from the side, and poured two mouthfuls directly at the spout.

The two fell into unspeakable silence for a moment, Xie Hengyan said: "The tea is getting cold, I'll go get a new one."

"No need." Xie Cong was uninterested, and waved his hands, "...Take this wild dog down, tie it up tightly, and don't let him run away."

Xie Hengyan said: "Aren't you going to ask questions?"

"Don't ask, I don't want to see this face for now." Xie Cong said.

Xie Hengyan nodded, turned around and pulled Yin Chun's arm: "Let's go first, it's none of your business here."

Yin Chun gave a faint "hmm", and let him take the lead without saying a word.Xie Hengyan was still wondering when he could become so obedient, turned his head and turned around, raised his palm and slashed towards Xie Cong.

But his injuries hadn't healed after all, and the strength of his palm was weak when he shot, which was not enough to cause an overly strong suppression.In addition, Xie Cong's reaction was extremely quick. The moment Yin Chun raised his arms, Xie Cong had supported the seat and leaned back in advance, and then he slapped the edge of the teapot firmly with his palm, and immediately moved it from head to toe tails shattered into slag—

Xie Hengyan's scalp went numb with horror: "Father!"

When these words came out, there was a loud bang in the ears, water splashed everywhere, and the shattered porcelain pieces of the teapot flew out, suddenly drawing a long, thin and hideous wound on Xie Cong's smooth and fair face!

Xie Cong snatched away the wooden crutches, and immediately stood up from the wooden rattan chair, with a gloomy face, without saying a word, he slammed it hard at Yin Chun's end - for a moment, all the tables, chairs and benches in the room were swept away by him. When it was overturned, not even the candle lamps on the wall survived.

However, the tip of the wooden crutch finally reached Yin Chu's forehead, but stopped a few inches away from it, stuck in the mid-air, unable to make another move for a long time.

Yin Chunfang turned his face to the side, and saw that Xie Hengyan had rushed out at some point, holding both ends of the wooden crutch with both hands, his face was pale, and his shoulders and arms were trembling due to excessive tension.He gasped for breath with difficulty, and said to Xie Cong, "Father, this man...you can't kill him."

Xie Cong's eyes were dark, and his voice was extremely cold: "Get out of the way."

Xie Hengyan shook his head: "You let him go, he won't say anything to Cheng Daofeng."

Xie Cong simply became ruthless, raised his foot and kicked him directly: "Are you courting death!"

Xie Hengyan was so painful that she trembled all over, but she still said the old saying: "You can't kill!"

After finishing speaking, Xie Cong grabbed the collar and lifted it up: "...Do you think I dare not kill you?"

Xie Hengyan gritted his teeth and said, "Then kill yourself!"

Xie Cong's face turned blue in an instant, and his entire facial features were stretched into an extremely ugly color.But he didn't get angry at Xie Hengyan immediately, but turned his head to look at Yin Chun, and then said word for word: "...Drag this wild dog out and throw it into the sea."

"No...Yin Chun!" Xie Hengyan hastily stretched out a hand, and stubbornly grabbed the corner of Yin Chun's clothes, but before he could exert any strength, Yin Chun was dragged out by the shoulders of two puppets outside the door , and even had time to look back at him in the future.

But when Xie Hengyan turned her head again and turned her pleading eyes to Xie Cong who was standing still behind her, she met the scarlet and terrifying eyes of the other party, and the fierceness, violence, and even hatred in the eyes that had never been seen before, so jealous An extreme series of complex emotions.

——With a "squeak" sound from the old wooden door, it closed tightly again in front of the two of them.

Xie Hengyan then backed away, the gentle and docile expression on his face gradually became a little panicked: "Thank you... Xie Cong!"

Xie Cong didn't speak.The side face that was scratched by the broken porcelain just now was repairing and healing at an unusually fast speed.The distance between the two is so close that Xie Hengyan can even clearly hear a series of mysterious rustling sounds as the other's facial skin grows and squirms to fill the wound.

"Why did this happen?" Xie Hengyan stroked his cheek in doubt, "What have you been going through all these years... Ugh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Cong's cold hand grabbed his neck hard.

In my memory, Xie Cong's big warm hands have never been so close to death.Xie Hengyan frowned slightly, and couldn't help but stare at him and said, "What's the matter with you? Are you sick... or something else?"

"You ask me what's wrong?" Xie Cong's sharp knuckles scratched the bridge of Xie Hengyan's nose, and then went down, breaking his chin all the way, "I want to ask, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Hengyan: "I..."

Xie Cong asked, "Are you trying to be my enemy?"

"That's not what I meant... I just want you to let him go." Xie Hengyan turned his face away with difficulty, "He is kind to me, I can't let him lose his life."

Xie Cong said mockingly, "Could it be that I have done you no favors?"

"No, this is different." Xie Hengyan slowly stretched out a hand and pressed it on his left heart, which is the most deadly point for human beings, "I once promised an old friend that I would protect him forever. ...can't break my word."

At this moment, Xie Cong's grip loosened a little.He squinted his eyes and stared at the humanoid puppet brought up by him in front of him—they had the same appearance, and the moment they looked at each other was like looking in a mirror.But with completely different personalities, it is destined that the future roads will continue to diverge until they completely deviate... until the end there is no intersection.

...no intersection.

Xie Cong didn't know what he remembered, he laughed at himself, then turned his back and said slowly: "I also had an old friend who promised me one thing."

Xie Hengyan opened his almond eyes wide, showing a completely puzzled expression.

"At that time, he gave me a humanoid puppet who knew nothing. He said that the puppet would be loyal to me and would never betray me." Xie Cong said, "So, I tried every means to give that puppet what I had. everything."

"But if one day, he does anything to betray and deceive me... Heng Yan, tell me, what will happen to him?"

Xie Hengyan's eyes darkened slightly: "I don't know, but I... will not betray you."

Xie Cong looked down at him: "What proof do you have that you won't betray me?"

Xie Hengyan didn't give an answer, and Xie Cong didn't persist in asking.After a long while, he stretched out his hand again, along Xie Hengyan's pale and delicate neck, slowly lowered it, right on his heart, and nodded lightly.

The two raised their eyes and looked at each other silently for a while. Finally, Xie Cong smiled strangely. That smile was like the tip of a knife, full of hostility and hopeless tenderness.
