Tang Shanhai had some ominous premonition today, the sky was gloomy, he went to school and waited for a long time but did not hear Yue Qiluo, asked a few people, and found out that she had disappeared since the afternoon.I had no choice but to drive back to the Tang Mansion first. Who would have thought that Xu Bicheng would rush towards him as soon as he entered the door, with his eyes wide open, and the phone in the living room was still on the side, so he said to him, "Promise that I will not kill Chen Shen again!" , you didn't believe what you said?"

Tang Shanhai was stunned, not knowing why, and said, "I didn't kill Chen Shen?"

"Old Tao just called and said he's going to do it tonight!"

"Bicheng, calm down." Tang Shanhai supported Xu Bicheng and let her sit in the armchair in the living room, "The anti-rape order has not been cancelled, and all the assassinations will be carried out according to the original plan." Seeing that Xu Bicheng was still shaking at him Nodding his head, Tang Shanhai had no choice but to comfort her: "I'll go to Tao Dachun now and ask him to cancel the assassination immediately, okay?"

Since Tang Shanhai said this, he had no choice but to go out as he said.He didn't expect Xu Bicheng to receive Lao Tao's call at first, it was Yue Qiluo's disappearance that disrupted his position, and now he can only cancel the assassination.It's just that it was already dark when he went out, he hadn't had dinner yet, he was very hungry, and he felt quite unwell.

When he arrived at Tao Dachun's stronghold, he didn't see anyone, only the housekeeper made him a cup of tea, saying that Tao Dachun had gone out and didn't know when he would come back.

Tang Shanhai waited for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became. He was not at the base at this time, and most likely he had already set out to assassinate.The assassination method he discussed with Tao Dachun was planting a bomb, so he was probably near Chen Shen's residence at this time.Thinking of this, Tang Shanhai couldn't sit still any longer, put down the teacup and went out, driving straight to Chen Shen's residence.

The car drove all the way to the downstairs of Chen Shen's house, but there was no movement, not even a single light was turned on.He thought that Chen Shen probably didn't come back after work, and went to MGM to spend money again.If he could stop Chen Shen before he came back, he might be able to escape.

When Tang Shanhai started the car and drove out of the side street, he suddenly caught a glimpse of red in the corner of his eyes, like a red cloak, flashing across the street corner.He stopped the car to look, but there was nothing.

Is that Yue Qiluo?

After Yue Qiluo came out from Wu's house, she went straight to Chen Shen's residence.At noon today, she suddenly received a message from the paper figurine, saying that the people who had assassinated Tang Shanhai before had made another move, and they were going to attack Tang Shanhai tonight.She knew that Tao Dachun was going to assassinate Chen Shen tonight, and those people bet that Tang Shanhai would show up, leaving the guards at the operation department was the best time to strike, and they wanted to kill two operation team captains with one stone.Yue Qiluo couldn't tolerate them being so presumptuous, so she immediately skipped class and took Wu Xin to steal the gun together.

Just after stealing the gun, and groping to find Chen Shen's residence with paper figurines, it was already dark.She hid behind the alley and loaded it, but she couldn't find the person who came to assassinate her. She was anxious when she heard the sound of a car engine starting. She chased it out and saw that it was Tang Shanhai's car.

"Hey!" Tang Shanhai drove far away without hearing her voice.Yue Qiluo looked at the direction he was going, did he go to MGM?Pooh!She couldn't figure out why Tang Shanhai wanted to go there, she just felt disgusted by that place full of lights and feasting.

There was no one around, so she simply sat at the door of Chen Shen's house with her arms folded. Anyone who wanted to do something would inevitably wander around here, and none of them could escape her palm.

Tang Shanhai entered MGM, but couldn't find Chen Shen, so he went straight to the bar.There is a foreign waiter at the bar, seeing him coming, he politely asked him: "Sir, something to drink"

"Wasthereagentlemanalwayscomeherefordrinkingkwas"

After hearing his words, the waiter thought for a while and said, "Yousayabout...captain Chen"

His eyes lit up, "Still here"

The waiter hesitated and said, "Hewas there but...I think he just gets home."

Tang Shanhai's heart sank, he came a step late after all, Chen Shen had already gone back, could it be... he didn't dare to think about it, he hurried out and drove back to Chen Shen's house.

Yue Qiluo sat by the door for a long time, she was about to fall asleep, when she suddenly felt that someone was pulling her hair, and when she pulled it irritably, a paper figurine was torn off.She froze for a moment, the paper figurine found the target.He was half awake at the moment, picked up from the stone steps, with a smile on his face, and ran towards the direction indicated by the paper figurine.

Zhou Chuanqing received the order tonight to carry out the task of Tang Shanhai, the second captain of the Assassination Operation Division.For some reason, the news of the last assassination leaked out, and the whole army was wiped out by the surnamed Tang. Tonight they planned carefully, and they wanted to take down Tang Shanhai in one fell swoop when Tang Shanhai was defenseless.Thinking that the surnamed Tang was smart for a while, he must not have guessed that it was the mantis catching the cicada, and the oriole was behind. Tonight, the two fake lackeys will confess here.Thinking this way, Zhou Chuanqing put bullets into the barrel of the gun and aimed it at the gate of the house.Just waited for someone else to appear, then pulled the trigger to kill him.

Zhou Chuanqing failed to see Tang Shanhai's shadow, and a cold metal object hit the back of his head.He trembled all over, already knowing what it was, he didn't dare to move at once.It's just that he couldn't figure it out, how could-?

"Turn around." It was a girl's voice, extremely gentle, "Turn around and look at me."

He turned around obediently and slowly raised his hands.In front of her was a little girl in a red cloak, she was quite beautiful, but she had a sinister smile on her face that made people feel scared, and there was a playful look in her almond eyes.He was sweating profusely, watching the girl loaded the gun, but did not move, as if admiring his expression at the moment.

"That's great, I like to see your expressions." Yue Qiluo's smile gradually became stronger, and she only felt that the fear and bewilderment on the face of the mortal in front of her was very interesting. In the past, she liked to play this kind of game the most, and caught all the mortals to herself In the stone palace, watching them try to escape in panic, only to die at her hands in the end.She hasn't played like this for a long time, but now that she picks it up, it's really fun.

"Guess, why should I kill you?" She pointed the muzzle of the gun at him dangling, "Guess right, maybe I can save your life, maybe I can."

But how could Zhou Chuanqing guess the reason? Could it be that this girl belonged to the puppet Wang, or belonged to the military commander?He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to say it.He only hoped that he could delay a little longer, maybe he could delay until his partner came to rescue him.

"Can't guess?" Yue Qiluo pouted lightly, and the muzzle of the gun spun around on Zhou Chuanqing's head and heart, "Let me think...where should I shoot?"

Just as he was speaking, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the small building not far ahead, and a woman's scream was vaguely heard.Rao Yue Qiluo, who was experienced in many battles, was also frightened by this sudden situation, her hands trembled, and her eyes followed the sound.In the blink of an eye, Zhou Chuanqing on the opposite side had already raised his gun, pointing squarely at Yue Qiluo.

"boom!"

Yue Qiluo watched the person in front of him slumped to the ground with blood spattering on his chest, his face was indifferent.Putting the gun away, he walked over and touched the man with his toe, and he died.

"I'm afraid the person who can take my life has not yet been born." She looked at the corpse and smiled.Thinking of the explosion again, he put down the corpse and rushed out to have a look. As soon as he walked out of the alley, he froze in place.The car parked on the street corner is not owned by Tang Shanhai?

She looked at the place where the explosion happened on the second floor, and there was already a raging fire, and the windows were completely shattered.She didn't know why, but her heart tightened for a while, as if a hand was tightly clenched.Yue Qiluo couldn't figure out why, all she wanted was to rush up to have a better look.

Tang Shanhai!

Tang Shanhai came back from MGM all the way, just around the door of the Zhihu bookstore, he saw Tao Dachun coming out of the door, he stepped forward to hold him, and said in a low voice: "The plan has changed, stop the assassination."

Tao Dachun was also taken aback for a moment, and said anxiously: "It's too late!"

Tang Shanhai thumped in his heart, could it be that Chen Shen had——

"boom--"

This explosion made Tang Shanhai and Tao Dachun both take a step back.Tang Shanhai knew right away that something had happened to Chen Shen. He saw that the doors and windows on the second floor were broken and a fire was ignited. Chen Shen was afraid of dying.In a panic, he said to Tao Dachun in a low voice, "Quick retreat!", and ran to the explosion site to find Chen Shen.

Tang Shanhai ran all the way, before entering the door, he saw the fire burning in the corridor, and broke into the door, but Li Xiaonan was crying and calling Chen Shen in the living room, with a sofa upside down by the window.Li Xiaonan's sharp eyes saw a leg protruding from under the sofa, so he went to move the sofa.Tang Shanhai rushed over to help her move it together, and it turned out that Chen Shen was lying there unconscious, with several scratches on his head and face, other than that there was no fatal injury.He leaned over to test his breath, and he was relieved that he was still alive.

He came up to be a hero himself, so he naturally took the responsibility and sent Chen Shen to Tongren Hospital.After entering the hospital, the doctor bandaged his wound, but actually ordered the elderly Yoyo to wake up, as if nothing had happened.Seeing that Chen Shen's life was no longer in danger, Tang Shanhai went out and leaned against the wall to light a cigarette, his heart fluttered for a while.

Halfway through the smoke, a figure hurriedly ran over from the corridor, and it was Xu Bicheng.This night, when she went out, she was so anxious that she didn't even wear her coat, and there were tears on her face.Seeing her running, he stubbed out the cigarette and sighed, "Bicheng, what are you doing here?"

Xu Bicheng looked at him with a pair of red eyes, and was about to have a seizure when a few people walked out of Chen Shen's ward behind him, they were Bi Zhongliang and his wife Lanzhi.Seeing Xu Bicheng, he was very surprised and asked: "Hey, why is Mrs. Tang here?"

"I..." Xu Bicheng was stunned, "I heard Shanhai call me and tell me that Captain Chen is hospitalized. I'll come and see if Shanhai is okay."

Mrs. Bi laughed and said, "Mr. Tang, Mrs. Tang really cares about you."

It's just that Bi Zhongliang didn't smile, his eyes looked back and forth between the two of them, and he seemed to be thinking about something.Tang Shanhai saw that something was wrong with Bi Zhongliang, so he chatted a few words to change the topic, and found an excuse to take Xu Bicheng home first.

But Xu Bicheng didn't give up, and began to argue with him since he got in the car, his eyes were red and red, and he couldn't listen to Tang Shanhai's words at all.

"Didn't I tell you on the phone not to come to the hospital?"

"You shouldn't have done anything to Chen Shen."

Tang Shanhai frowned, and said, "I've already explained to you, when I went, Lao Tao had already made a move, and I didn't have time to stop it."

Not to be outdone, Xu Bicheng straightened up from the back of the chair and faced him, raising his voice and saying, "If you had informed Lao Tao earlier, would such a thing have happened?"

Tang Shanhai was stunned for a moment, but laughed instead: "You mean, I should take the risk of being exposed to meet Lao Tao?"

Xu Bicheng was stunned and did not speak.Tang Shanhai's heart was cold, but there was still a wry smile on his face: "Chen Shen's life is important, but mine is not."

"Do you know that it is very suspicious that you went to the hospital to see Chen Shen in the middle of the night." Tang Shanhai distractedly turned his head to look at her, and saw that she was staring at the front in a daze, "What do you make Bi Zhongliang think?"

"They think whatever they like," Xu Bicheng interrupted him, "I just care about what happened to Chen Shen, will they expose you?"

Tang Shanhai felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat, and it was difficult for him to speak. "Then have you considered my feelings?"

There was no response, Tang Shanhai continued word by word: "A man's own wife only sees others, what do you make him think?"

Instead, Xu Bicheng got up in surprise, raised his voice and said, "You're too deep into the drama, aren't you? We're just partners."

Into the drama too deep.Tang Shanhai smiled in his heart, but the expression on his face was so stiff that he couldn't move.It turned out that his wishful thinking all these years had ended up getting too deep into the drama.He suddenly felt that there was a soupy river flowing between the two of them. Standing on the other side of the river, they seemed to be very close, but they couldn't touch each other even if they were far away, as if they no longer belonged to the same world.When he thought of this, the cold night wind suddenly seemed to pour into his head, waking him up, his whole body shivered, and the chill poured down from the top of his head little by little, cooling all over his body.

When we arrived at the Tang Mansion, they were still noisy, and even Wu Ma, who was noisy, came out to persuade her, but she couldn't persuade her.Xu Bicheng cried again, saying that he had avenged his personal revenge, and threatened him to report it to the organization.She was his overseer, and she always remembered that well.It's useless for Tang Shanhai to reason with her, and it's also useless to calm things down.At the end of the quarrel, it was Xu Bicheng who was so tired that he slammed the door of his room in front of his face.He had mixed feelings and didn't know how to vent it, so he went to the cabinet to get a bottle of foreign wine, and went back to the study to relieve his worries by himself.

Yue Qiluo was sitting on the roof at that time and heard the quarrel from beginning to end.In fact, she came back a long time ago. After the explosion, she wanted to find him, but she was concerned about the corpse.After disposing of the corpse, she went to see it again. The person had already left. She chased to the hospital and found that Chen Shen was injured, so she rushed back to the Tang Mansion.She didn't expect to hear such a farce. She heard a loud slamming door and the sound of clinking cups. She was still sitting in the night breeze, not knowing what she was thinking.

After sitting for a while, he slowly climbed down and entered Tang Shanhai's study through the window.He was sitting on the couch with his elbows on his knees, a half-empty bottle beside him.She walked over to take the wine bottle away, seeing him drunk, she felt that this man was very worthless.

Tang Shanhai drank up the wine in the glass and went to reach for the wine bottle, but he didn't reach it, but touched a hand instead.He looked up from the bottom and saw a pair of small leather shoes, a black skirt, and a bright red cloak.Yue Qiluo stood in front of him, looking at him from bottom to top.

He smiled, the girl in front of him was a phantom, sometimes real and sometimes false.He wondered if he was a scholar who was haunted by a female ghost in Liaozhai, and Yue Qiluo was his own sweet dream, coming and going without a trace like a ghost.He couldn't catch it, he couldn't read it, so he could only let this female ghost suck his bones and marrow, making him a romantic ghost in his dream.

Yue Qiluo looked at him and spoke, her voice was vague: "You really like him that much."

Tang Shanhai smiled bitterly, "I... liked her once."

He remembered that the first time he saw Xu Bicheng, she was wearing a plain white skirt and leaning against the plane tree to read.The instructor told him that she was a female student from a military academy, she was born in a scholarly family in Suzhou, and she was a lady.He also thinks that she is a lady, who likes to drink tea and read poetry, like living in an ivory tower, and the war outside has nothing to do with her.At that time, he was still a stunned young man, watching Xu Bicheng pick ginkgo leaves under the tree, smiling beautifully, he looked like the eldest lady in the playbook he imagined.He thought, he wants to protect this person, protect her from this war, let her live in the ivory tower forever.

But that shadow became more and more blurred. Now that she was clearly standing in front of him, if she recalled that shadow, she couldn't remember the details.He likes her, and he can tolerate his childishness, innocence, idealization, and emotionality, but after quarreling again and again, Tang Shanhai can no longer ignore the disappointment that gradually spread in his heart.She doesn't love him, and even starts to hate him.She will never really understand him.Tang Shanhai began to realize that he and she did not belong to the same world.

Yue Qiluo looked at Tang Shanhai quietly, a drop of tear miserably flowed from his dim drunken eyes, slid onto his cheek, and did not move.She wiped it with a handkerchief, remembering that the last time she did this was when Zhang Xianzong was shot and was about to die, sitting slumped in front of her and weeping.Yue Qiluo only felt that her nasal cavity was sore and swollen, her eye circles also became hot, and she was sick again, so she muttered in a low voice: "What a waste."

Tang Shanhai felt that a small hand was wiping something on his face with a handkerchief.He smelled gunpowder, stretched out his hand to grab the hand, and said, "Did you shoot?"

That hand wanted to break free from him, but couldn't move, and the handkerchief fell to the ground, so he stopped trying and let him hold it quietly.The skin of that hand was smooth, but cool, and he held it up to his eyes.Yue Qiluo's hand was held by him, motionless, like a dead animal.He drank too much wine, and his mind was not working. He only thought that his hand was so cold, and he wanted to warm it up.

"......sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

What is it, Tang Shanhai can't tell, he didn't think about it when he said it.He was just a little sad, the past was flying away from him, and he couldn't see anything in the future.

"I liked her," he chewed his words, "I liked her."

How strange, he thought.Every time he said this, the shadow of Xu Bicheng faded in his mind, and faded again.He couldn't remember Xu Bicheng's reading at the beginning, only the way she looked at him, there seemed to be a little hatred in it, because he was going to kill Chen Shen.Thinking of this, Tang Shanhai smiled.

But Yue Qiluo's hand was no longer in his, and she left.Tang Shanhai stood up and wanted to chase after him. The door was locked, the window was open, and the cold wind poured into the room. He ran over, and the street downstairs was also empty.She was really like a ghost, she came quietly when she came, and she seemed to evaporate in the air when she left, just like he had a dream.

Yue Qiluo didn't actually leave, she was still sitting on the roof.When she left the study, she touched Tang Shanhai's cigarette and lit one for herself. She didn't know how to smoke, but she always watched him smoke.Lit it tremblingly, took a breath, choked so much that he coughed until his eye sockets were wet.

These are probably the tears of mortals, but they are only physiological tears.She seemed to have not cried for 1000 years, and she had forgotten what it was like to cry.It's just that when Zhang Xianzong was burned to ashes, she hid behind and watched, her nasal cavity was sore, and the corners of her eyes seemed to be a little wet, but tears did not fall.Then and now, when she heard Tang Shanhai say over and over again that he likes others, she seemed a little wronged, and her nasal cavity was sore.

Tang Shanhai picked out words and said that he liked Xu Bicheng, but she couldn't tell the difference, she could only hear the word like.She is used to being a bully. Anyone who dares not to like her will either be killed or have their soul taken as a plaything.But Zhang Xianzong is different, no matter how she treats him, he always likes her.

Yue Qiluo took another puff of the cigarette, it seemed that the choking was not so strong, the acrid smoke got into her throat.She wanted to sing a song and cry for a long song, so Princess Wusun made a pipa.But when she opened her mouth, she couldn't sing a single song. She was never a romantic person, and never learned any songs.Her feet were dangling in the air, with no expression on her face, and she remembered Zhang Xianzong's tears again. He stood in the dark, turned his back to her and said, "If I didn't die, if I kept being nice to you, you would No...will you have a little love for me?"

What a liar.

The cigarette burned to ashes, Yue Qiluo jumped down from the roof lightly and left.
