I have a city that never sleeps

The boy's eyes were slightly red, and the big teardrops fell like broken pearls, and his delicate face was full of tears.

He looked at Chu Zhi with admiration, biting his red lips lightly, the water in his eyes was like the morning stars in the sky, shining with moving light.

This is the cry that can arouse the most ruthless people's desire for protection and sympathy. However, at this moment, everyone present did not think in that direction, and even their brains went blank. That sentence: Senior Brother... Senior Brother... Senior Brother...

...Wait, brother? !

Chu Zhi is Yijia's senior brother? ? ?

In an instant, everyone was taken aback, even Lu Hanfei, who secretly snickered and wanted to celebrate the victory, was dumbfounded.

They could only stare blankly at Chu Zhi softly coaxing the crying boy, and raised the boy high in the air: "Okay, okay, don't cry, tell me the cause and effect, brother will seek justice for you, don't Cried."

Even Chu Zhi looked left and right, smiled at the surrounding crowd and said, "Excuse me, can I borrow a handkerchief?"

Ji Tong was the first to react and handed over the handkerchief excitedly. Chu Zhi took it gratefully, then bent down and gently wiped the tears on Yijia's face with the handkerchief.

This gentle movement can fully reveal a full of pampering, and Yijia also raised her head trustingly to accept Chu Zhi's comfort.

After finally stopping his tears, the young man glared at Lu Hanfei on the ground with eyes full of anger, and shouted aggressively: "It's him! It's fine if he pushed me and didn't let me drink tea at first, but he dared to call me a bastard , and said that I have no education!"

When he was pointed at his nose and scolded for the crime just now, Lu Hanfei's heart skipped a beat immediately, and he had a bad premonition.

And as Chu Zhi looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, his body trembled suddenly, and he became trembling and frightened.

"I can't pretend that I didn't hear this sentence." Chu Zhi smiled, "If you say that my junior brother is not well-bred, you are blaming Evernight City, and if you say my junior brother is a bastard, you are accusing everyone in Evernight City A mongrel, what do you mean?"

If you have to admit it here, he has a few lives that are not enough. Lu Hanfei was shocked, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, I didn't mean that!"

"Then what do you mean?" Chu Zhi narrowed his eyes, "Or do you think my junior brother is easy to bully, so you insult him wantonly?"

"...I, I." Lu Hanfei was so terrified that he couldn't even explain a word, his head was sweating profusely, and his legs and feet were weak.

He didn't care about the bloody scars on his back, and quickly saluted Yijia and apologized, "It's me, I was confused just now, and I accidentally cursed wrongly, please don't take it to heart, young master, you can do whatever you want with this whip." Fight, I, Lu Hanfei, will never say a single word, I just ask you to forgive me, it's my blindness, it's my fault, I'm willing to be punished!"

Retreating is the only way for Lu Hanfei to survive now. He is very smart. After learning that the offended person is a member of the city that never sleeps, he knows that if he is not careful, he may fall into death.

Therefore, he immediately admitted his mistake and accepted the punishment. This is the chance to gain life!

Sure enough, Chu Zhi looked at Yi Jia after hearing the words: "Junior brother, how do you want to punish him?"

"Forget it." Yijia looked at Lu Hanfei who was trembling for a while, and then he snorted coldly in disgust, "Hmph, it's really boring, I'm already tired."

As he spoke, he put away the whip in his hand and stopped being aggressive.

Others only thought that this young man deserved to be a young man, and he was tired of crying so quickly just now, but Ji Tong and the others who knew him better after chatting with Yijia just now knew that Yijia was taking the soft rather than the hard, When the other party bowed his head in pain and repented, he immediately couldn't do anything.

But seeing the smug light flashing in Lu Hanfei's eyes, Ji Tong and the others knew that Lu Hanfei must not repent, he just apologized just now, and he must not be forgiven lightly!

Just as he was about to do something to remind the hero Chu, he suddenly heard Chu Zhi say: "Okay, now that Yijia's grievances have been settled, it's time to deal with the grievances of other people in our Nightless City."

"How about this, there are a total of six disciples in the Nightless City besides the city lord, so I will punish you to hang yourself at the gate of the city for six days to repent your previous mistakes."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt, and Lu Hanfei was stunned in an instant.

Hang for six days? !Isn't this the rhythm of wanting his life? !

What a cruel heart!

Unexpectedly, even if he escaped from Yi Jia, he would still not be able to escape the punishment of other people. He stayed there dumbfounded, and just about to kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy, but Chu Zhi didn't even give him time to spit out words, so he waved his hand directly. The waiter from the shop came out from nowhere, gagged his mouth with a rag and forced him to go outside.

The speed of this resolute execution couldn't help but startled the others slightly, and at the same time secretly admired Chu Zhi's insight into gold.

As expected of Hero Chu, this move is absolutely amazing!

Even Yijia blinked, and although he didn't say anything, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he didn't let go of Chu Zhi's sleeve.

"You're happy now." Chu Zhi flicked his forehead helplessly, "Look at you, how many bowls and chopsticks around you have been damaged by you, and you have disturbed other guests' dining, go and apologize."

"Oh." Yijia rubbed her nose embarrassedly, followed Chu Zhi around and apologized to the other guests.

Chu Zhi also promised that he would serve new dishes as quickly as possible for the guests to eat, and only then did the last commotion be calmed down.

Finally, Chu Zhi led Yijia back to Ji Tong and the others, and said with a smile: "Thank you for taking care of my junior brother, my junior brother seems to like you very much, if you can, please chat with him again, I want to Go to the back kitchen to cook, and the younger brother will leave it to you."

Ji Tong and the others had never been so close to Hero Chu before, they were full of energy, and immediately responded: "Master Chu, go slowly, the young master will be taken care of by us!"

Finally, he patted Yijia on the back, Chu Zhi turned back to the back kitchen, and after Yijia sat down, Ji Tong and the others couldn't wait to ask: "Young master, why didn't you tell us that you are from the city that never sleeps?" ah!"

Yijia looked blank: "You didn't even ask."

"This..." Ji Tong and the others were speechless, but soon, they discussed excitedly, "No wonder the young master is a genius doctor at such a young age, the best explanation is coming from the city that never sleeps!"

"That's right, thanks to the young master, today I have the opportunity to have such a close contact with the Great Xia Chu... It's really worth the trip!"

"I don't know when the young master came to the city that never sleeps, and how did he join?"

Yijia didn't shy away from it at all. His background was very simple: "I was an orphan picked up by the city lord when I was a baby. I have been living in the city since I was a child and learning knowledge and medical skills. I have never gone out. I am so boring."

Having said that, he blinked happily at everyone: "You guys still remember the agreement we made just now, I have been trying to leave the city but I can't find a reason, so I need your help! You have to help me convince the city lord to let me go out play."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was talking and laughing just now froze.

...Wait, they did agree to help Yijia persuade his family to go out and have fun... But the problem is, he thought Yijia was just the son of an ordinary family! !

Even if they are the young sons of high-ranking officials and noble families, everyone will not find it so difficult. After all, they still have some connections, but facing the city that never sleeps... that is the city that never sleeps!

Can they convince City Lord Jiang who rules everything?After all, will they be able to meet City Lord Jiang in the first step? ! !

Can't say a word, if City Lord Jiang gets upset, he will chop them off, right? ! !

"This..." Everyone felt bad, and quickly explained with an apologetic smile, "Young master, what kind of identities are we, how could we possibly meet City Lord Jiang, let alone persuade City Lord Jiang, look at this..."

Yijia was suddenly unhappy and said, "You want to go back on your word? Alright, I'll go and tell my senior brother that you bullied me!"

"Don't, don't!!" Everyone trembled in their hearts, hurriedly comforting him, and smiled wryly, "It's not that we don't want to help you, but this job is too difficult. Think about it, who is City Lord Jiang? Ah, he is the shining pearl of the tower, and we are the humble sand on the ground, how can we persuade City Lord Jiang."

If he refused normally, Yi Jia would definitely not let him go, but when he heard this adjective, Yi Jia's face showed a bit of satisfaction and joy, and he couldn't hide his emotions at all: "It's also... It's really embarrassing for you .”

Everyone looked at each other, this child is really easy to understand, but it can be of great help.

So they all climbed up the pole, sometimes praising City Lord Jiang for his resourcefulness, and sometimes praising City Lord Jiang for being like a breeze and bright moon, anyway, it was just a lot of praise.

Yijia liked their flattery very much, coughed a few times reservedly, and compromised: "Alright, then I won't let you go to the city lord to intercede."

Everyone couldn't help but smile and let out a sigh of relief.

"—Then you go to my senior brother to plead with the head office?"

In the next moment, another breath was choked in his throat, and he was almost choked to death.

"Look, look for your senior brother?" Everyone was shocked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Of course it is all of them." Yi Jia said as a matter of course, "As long as all the brothers agree with me to go out, the city lord will definitely agree to this request! Am I very smart?"

……all? !

Ye Jianyi's indifferent face was the first thing that came to mind, and everyone couldn't hold back their breath.

Isn't this also the rhythm of courting death!

"What?" As if seeing their hesitation, Yi Jia said with a grim expression, "The city lord can't ask, the brothers and brothers can't ask, are you lying to me?! I hate people lying to me the most, I'm going to be angry! "

Seeing that his face was darkened, and his brows seemed to gather anger, everyone immediately noticed that this young man was really going to get angry, and quickly shook their heads to explain: "Isn't it just to find your senior brother, go, go now!"

"I will teach you a lesson for anyone who doesn't want to go! Since the young master has made a request, we must abide by it, right!"

"That's right, isn't it Ye Jianshen, isn't it Miss Xin'er, let's go now...huh?"

Once Miss Xin'er's name was mentioned, Ji Tong and the others couldn't move in an instant. Wait, does this mean that they can also get close to Miss Xin'er? ?

So what are you waiting for, go now!

Seeing them all so excited and eager to wait, Yijia finally showed a satisfied smile, and triumphantly led them out of the restaurant.

"The first one to visit must be my elder brother." Yi Jia confidently led the way, "At this time, he is usually practicing swords, so we sneaked around the path."

Hearing this, everyone was a little curious, wondering if the sword god practiced the sword like ordinary people, or if there was something special about it, maybe they could learn a few tricks secretly.

They found that Yijia led them to the vicinity of the West Lake. There were many tourists visiting the West Lake at this point, but most of them didn't know Yijia's identity, and passed them directly without stopping.

This can't help but make Ji Tong and the others secretly proud. If these people find out that they are walking with the most favored genius doctor in the city that never sleeps, I don't know what kind of envious and jealous expressions they will show. Thinking about it, they are a little happy.

After thinking about it for a long time, they realized that Yi Jia did not choose to go around the wide road around the lake, but walked towards a secret path, and waved at them.

"Isn't this a dead end?"

The further you go, the narrower the path, the more lush the grass, and you can't even walk to the back, and there is no light to illuminate the darkness, Ji Tong finally couldn't help asking.

"Shh, this is a secret path. I don't tell ordinary people about it." Yijia gave him a warning look, and then pushed aside the dense purple bamboo forest in front of him with his hands.

Unexpectedly, after crossing the purple bamboo forest, the road suddenly became clear, and the faint moonlight shone down, illuminating the dark road.

And the further you go, you can see a large open and flat land, and there is a figure standing sideways in the middle of the land with his eyes closed, holding a bright sword in his hand, as if he is meditating.

Looking through the bamboo grove behind, he could see the towering attic wall, Ji Tong was startled, and then realized that they had come to Tongtian Pavilion where City Lord Jiang was.

Perhaps this blank and hidden area is the place where Ye Jianshen practiced his sword every day.

They didn't know if Ye Jianshen had sensed their position, but Ye Jianyi, who had his eyes closed, didn't change his movements, so they stood there silently, not daring to say a word.

Under such a quiet night sky, the two sides stalemate for a while.

Just when no one knew who would break this tense posture first, Ye Jianyi finally moved!

He slowly opened his eyes, the sharpness in his eyes flashed, and the silver sword in his hand drew a straight line in the air——

In the next moment, he had retracted his sheath and stood up straight.

But the bamboo forest in front of him was cut off in half and fell to the ground.

There was a crisp sound of clicking.

Everyone swallowed their saliva, and couldn't help but feel that if they were the ones standing in front of Ye Jianyi, there would have been a click at this moment—the head would have fallen to the ground.

As expected of a sword god, the speed of the sword is unmatched by people, and I admire it!

Before they finished feeling, they saw that the sword god's eyes had already fallen on them, the cold light in his eyes had not faded away, and there was ice-cold frost and snow.

But when Yi Jia happily ran to his side, Ye Jianyi's eyes filled with warmth, as if spring had arrived and the ice and snow had melted.

He even gently stroked the top of Yijia's head with the palm that had beheaded countless people, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Yijia lowered her head in embarrassment, unable to say a word, she could only point her finger at Ji Tong behind her, motioning for them to help.

Ye Jianyi looked at this scene, and his eyes fell on Ji Tong and the others again, but this time there was a faint killing intent: "Did they bully you?"

"That's right, how dare we bully the young master!" Ji Tong and the others were almost frightened to death, and explained desperately, "It's like this, the young master, the young master, he is more interested in the outside world. I also like the young master very much, and I want to invite him to our house as a guest, you see... can you..."

All the rhetoric and euphemisms that were in his mind before disappeared in this murderous aura. After Ji Tong said the destination as quickly as possible, he felt a little annoyed belatedly.

It's too straightforward, I'm afraid it's not good!

And Ye Jianyi also frowned gradually, repeating his words over and over again: "To be a guest at your house?"

"You can return home with the token of the city that never sleeps. How should he go?"

"Your home is all over the world. Could it be that in this huge and dangerous world, do you want him to go out alone?"

"What if we put him in danger?"

...The continuous questions made Ji Tong and the others almost breathless when they were asked.

One after another, the heavy mountain of questions weighed on their hearts one after another, proving that they really didn't think much about it.

But in the face of Ye Jianyi's questioning, they couldn't say that they haven't thought about it yet, so they could only grit their teeth and rack their brains: "Otherwise... I'll send someone to pick him up in person."

"As long as you tell me the location of the young master, I can send someone to meet him in advance." In the end, Ji Tong decided, "My home is in the capital, which happens to be where Mr. Su is. To entertain the young master in the capital, There shouldn't be any danger, don't you think?"

Ye Jianyi pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Yi Jia who was expecting: "Do you want to go?"

"I want to go out and play." Yijia tugged at his sleeve coquettishly.

It was the first time that everyone saw the helpless look on Ye Jianyi's face, and then they nodded slowly and said, "If they can send someone to protect you, then yes."

Before Ji Tong and the others burst into tears of joy, Ye Jianyi's fierce eyes glanced at this place again, and their joy was instantly frozen in the frost-like eyes: "I can hand over my junior brother to you, but if I If your junior brother suffers a little harm because of this."

"I will chase you all the way to the ends of the earth, understand."

Crowd: ...

As if a blizzard had blown them down, everyone nodded in horror, covering their crazily throbbing little hearts.

Even when he was leaving, he left the bamboo forest stiffly, one step at a time.

Yijia was very happy, and praised what they said without hesitation, but Ji Tong and the others smiled wryly, really feeling faintly afraid, and didn't want to face such a terrifying person again.

Fortunately, the remaining three senior brothers are all gentle and kind, so it should be easier.

Everyone comforted themselves in this way.

Then at the second place, they went straight to the third floor of Qingfeng Pavilion, and were specially allowed to come to Miss Xin'er's room.

As soon as you enter the gorgeous and warm wing room, you feel as if you are being blown by a spring breeze, and you feel instantly relaxed.

Sitting on the couch was a woman in red, with light red makeup, and she was extremely beautiful. Even though she was wearing a veil, the light in her eyes was so beautiful that people couldn't look away.

"Yo, you're here." After seeing Yijia, the woman gently beckoned him to come and sit down, and handed him the snacks and candies on the table, "Here, take it."

Yijia sat down next to Ji Wuxin unceremoniously, peeled off the candy and smiled happily.

Others who watched this scene were extremely envious, and probably only Yijia could get close to Miss Xin'er unscrupulously.

The others are like moths circling around the candle flame, circling around Miss Xin'er, afraid of being burned by the fierce and hot flame.

However, being able to observe Miss Xin'er at such a close distance is also a rare blessing. Sure enough, following Yi Jia, she can still have such special treatment.

Everyone smelled the fragrant incense in the air, and they were all relaxed and happy, and a little intoxicated.

This time, they were never as afraid as they were when facing Ye Jianshen, and they were almost scrambling to explain to Miss Xin'er the purpose of coming here.

But after hearing what they said, Miss Xin'er narrowed her beautiful eyes and became obviously unhappy: "You want to take my junior brother away? Can you guarantee his safety?"

Before everyone could explain, Miss Xin'er suddenly grabbed a red hairpin from the back of her head and shook it in their eyes: "My concubine hates people to lie to me the most."

"If Junior Brother loses a single hair..."

The red hairpin in his hand suddenly flicked, and disappeared into the eyes at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.

At the same time, an apple standing on the table a few meters away suddenly made a crisp sound, and suddenly broke into two halves with a click.

And that Zhuchai was also firmly nailed to the wall, penetrating three points into the wood.

"..."

Looking at the apple that was crushed by a small red hairpin, and then at the red hairpin nailed to the wall, everyone subconsciously swallowed their saliva, and fell silent for a moment.

Just how precise is this throwing to crush an apple, and how powerful is this to nail it to the wall, as expected...Miss Xin'er is really terrifying!

Not to mention doing such a horrible thing, Miss Xin'er frowned, and read out the most terrifying threat in the most gentle tone: "Did you see, if the younger brother loses a single hair, your fate...may be the same as this Apples are average."

Ji Tong and the others dare not be presumptuous anymore...

What is better than Ye Jianshen? Look at it, it looks better than Ye Jianshen!

Suffering a critical blow on the side of the goddess, Ji Tong and the others embarked on the journey again with their hearts broken.

This time, their target was the bookstore.

Almost as soon as he entered the back room, he could see a scholar-like figure lying leisurely on the rocking chair, swinging the rocking chair with his eyes closed.

It seems that because of his baby face, he and Yijia stood together, and he didn't know who was younger, but Su Buyi's temperament was mature and stable, unlike Yijia who looked cute and lively. Children can still tell the difference.

But maybe because of the closer age, Yijia didn't have a good look at this senior brother, and he didn't lean over to try to please him as soon as he came up. Instead, he stood at a distance with a cold face and didn't say a word.

After learning from the previous experience, Ji Tong and the others cautiously informed Su Buyi of Yijia's idea of ​​going out, and deliberately stood a little farther away. Who knows if this frail Mr. Su will Suddenly violently threatened them.

However, unexpectedly, Su Buyi didn't threaten them like the two people before, but turned to Yijia's side and asked with great interest, "Do you want to go outside and take a look?"

"So what." Yijia folded her arms and snorted coldly, "I've never been out of the city that never sleeps, so it's possible that only you are allowed to go out and I'm not allowed to go out?"

Su Buyi smiled: "You can go out."

Yijia blinked, obviously moved: "...Really? You won't stop me?"

"Of course, why should I stop you." Su Buyi replied with righteous words.

Even Ji Tong and the others didn't expect him to be so easy-going, and felt extremely excited for a while, the most difficult people were finally over!

But at the moment when he was about to applaud and cheer, Su Buyi suddenly said indifferently: "But as someone who has experienced it, brother needs to tell you about the dangers of the world."

"People in Jianghu are very cunning and terrifying. They will deceive you, a young man with delicate skin and tender meat, and tie you up to cook and eat meat. They also like to hear the sound of you crying when you are locked in the pot. When will you be cooked? The meat is melted and rotten, and you will be fished out at any time, and you can enjoy it with seasonings, so you must be careful."

"..." When he said the first sentence, Yijia trembled all over and looked strange.

And as his topic deepened, when Yijia sincerely imagined the scene of being cooked and eating meat, his expression gradually turned into panic, his face was pale and bloodless.

Seeing this, Su Buyi only smiled slightly: "You are not afraid, this is the mildest way to die, and there are some people who like to torture people to eat raw meat, for example, gouging out your eyes, digging out your butt finger……"

"I, I know martial arts!" Yi Jia abruptly interrupted his words, but his slightly trembling arms proved the fact that he was holding on, "I can protect myself."

"With your three-legged cat skills, you are not even worthy of carrying shoes in the martial arts world." Su Buyi said ruthlessly, "You still want to protect yourself? You will be the first to be arrested if something goes wrong."

At this moment, Yijia was about to cry: "QAQ, what should I do, I, I don't want to be eaten."

Ji Tong and the others who were listening to Su Buyu scaring the children couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but stop them: "Mr. Su, let's stop here. It's good for you to instill vigilance in the young master, but this It's too much, what if the child is too scared to sleep at night?"

Su Buyi regained his indifference in an instant: "He still wants to go out with that little guts, I think it's better to give up."

"What?!" Yijia realized that she had been cheated belatedly, and immediately stared angrily, "Okay, you are lying to me! Sure enough, you are the most annoying!! No matter what I say Go out and have a look, don't try to stop me!"

Stamping his feet hard, Yijia snorted angrily, turned around and rushed out of the room.

"This..." Ji Tong and the others felt dizzy. On the one hand, they were worried about Yi Jia who would run away in anger. On the other hand, they couldn't leave the bookstore, so they could only look at Su Buyi in embarrassment.

Su Buyi didn't pay attention to Yijia who ran out, but just set his gaze on them, with deep meaning in his gaze.

"The place you are going to is the capital?"

"The capital city is not far from my school."

"Come here to report his news from time to time, if he is wronged..."

"Maybe I don't have much ability, but I have the backing of the prince behind me, you...you understand?"

……

Everyone was frightened into cold sweat again, nodding desperately like chickens pecking at rice.

It's scary, it's really scary, no matter what they look like, these people love their little juniors very much, such three or four threats weigh on them, almost as heavy as Mount Tai, and they are completely out of breath.

Fortunately, the three people in the circle have agreed to Yijia's departure.

The rest is the best talkative Chu Daxia!

It should be the best to talk... right?

When he finally returned to the Zuixian Tower anxiously, he went to the back kitchen to find the busy Chu Zhi, and when he heard Yijia said that he wanted to go out, Chu Zhi agreed without saying a word.

He touched the top of Yijia's head and said with a smile: "It's time for you to go out for a walk. I'm very relieved to have someone by your side."

"Ji Tong, right?" After speaking, he set his eyes on Ji Tong.

Facing the scrutinizing eyes, Ji Tong couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, he always felt that such scrutinizing eyes were very familiar.

"Come, come." Although Chu Zhi patted him on the shoulder and walked to him with a smile on his face as usual, Ji Tong felt the invisible pressure, "I want to have a good talk with you."

Chu Zhi laughed and said, "Where is your family in the capital, how many people are there in the family, what is the property in the family, do you have any enemies, do you like children, is there anyone in the family who is an official?"

After asking several questions in a row, Chu Zhi explained: "Oh, don't get me wrong, I just want to know what the place where my junior brother is going to visit is like, you know, if it's a dangerous place, parents Don't worry too much, do you?"

Ji Tong: "...Yes, yes."

At this moment, his heart burst into tears.

Sure enough, in front of the seniors, none of these seniors is a normal person!

He is so difficult.
