In the guest room, Jiang Wuque opened the door to let me in, but he walked out in front of me and stood outside the door, guarding the door.

I stepped over the threshold and saw the person sitting by the window drinking tea, but he didn't change his posture in any way because of my presence.

When I approached, the hall master put down the teacup and asked in a low voice: "How do you explain what happened last night? Why are you in the woods and not in the secret room?"

I slowly clenched my fists secretly, and I asked back: "Don't you want to ask me why I didn't die when I should have died a long time ago? This is what you want to ask the most, right?"

The Palace Master finally raised his eyes to look at me, "That's right." He said, "I really thought you were dead, so you'd better speak clearly at this moment, otherwise—"

"What else?" I asked, "let me really die?"

He wasn't surprised. I contradicted him more than once or twice. Under the mask, except for the pale lips, there was no other strange emotion. He looked at me quietly, and then nodded. "If you can't explain clearly, I have no choice but to let you die."

"I was rescued by someone." I answered with lowered eyes, "It was someone from the Tang Sect. That person suddenly broke into the secret room and rescued me. Then he took me to the woods, stripped me of my clothes, and then told me—"

Bang——slammed the table, the lid of the teacup jumped up, fell back on the cup, and split in two.

"You think you can lie to me?" The Hall Master looked at me coldly and asked coldly.

"I didn't lie to you, what's there to lie to you about this kind of thing?"

"you--"

"Since you don't believe me, you shouldn't ask me. Also, you shouldn't let Jie Xinghen save me. Didn't you use me to break the Tangmen insect formation? Am I still useful?"

He was not angered by my words, everything was expected, when he said: "I didn't ask Jie Xinghen to save you, I just asked him to confirm your life and death..." At this time, his voice was slightly hoarse, Picking up the teacup and putting it to his lips, a drop of blood fell into the cup——I couldn’t see the blood clots in the tea being pulled away, but I could see the fingers of the hall master holding the cup, the nails were white—— How much effort did he use to restrain himself, so that he would not crush the cup made of celadon by mistake.

……

"Are you okay?" I thought I was acting, but the first time I rushed forward, I took my body for granted. It was obviously Xiao Yuer's plan. I had thought about this scene beforehand, but when I first saw bloodshot eyes coming from the mask of the palace master The blood flowed from the nose, and the blood flowed from the nasal cavity-everything Xiao Yuer and I did, I saw it with my own eyes, it was so unbearable.

"It's okay." The hall master put down the cup and raised his hand to block me.

I frowned, "You know what kind of people doctors hate the most—patients who shy away from medical treatment."

The hall master roughly wiped off the nosebleed with the back of his hand, raised his white lips, and asked, "Sun Yingyu, do you know what kind of person I hate the most as the master of the Emperor Qiu?"

Nodding, "I'm such a nosy person."

"No." He shook his head slowly, rarely, he was calm, without hostility, and laughed many times in a row.

"I hate...people who betray me the most."

I smiled wryly, "Who doesn't hate it?"

"Don't you understand?" he asked again.

I was taken aback, "What don't you understand?"

"Sun Yingyu." He raised his hand, turned his wrist and stretched it out in front of me, motioned for me to take his pulse with his eyes, and then said, "You really didn't understand," he said with a smile, "We are people from two worlds." Why, why do you never understand what I say?"

I was trying to check his pulse, but he suddenly raised his palm and took my hand into his.

With a little more force, "Master!" I half-bent my legs and almost sat on him, my face was very close to his mask, and I could see the blood stains on his lips, "You are being smart again!" "He said, "This time I asked Jie Xinghen to confirm your life and death, but I didn't ask him to save you, let alone bring you back. To make an exception, what do you think I should do to him?"

"It's my fault!" I was nervous, "What does Guan Jiexing hate?"

"Are you finally willing to admit it? You did something wrong in the Tangmen secret room, right?" The hall master smiled and let me go, raised his chin slightly, and looked at me with half-closed eyes, "Every time I threaten you with Jiang Wuque and his son, the result is always It satisfies me, I know you did it on purpose in the secret room, and you are so eager to escape from me that you don't even care about Jiang Wuque?"

A thought flashed across my mind, and it dawned on me that the Palace Master had misunderstood me. He thought that I was trying to get out of his grasp by feigning death in the Tang Sect, but it was not. Take a gamble and see if he will change for me?

Because if the palace master sees me as just a tool from beginning to end, how can I become his confidant and help Xiao Yu'er obtain even more amazing secrets behind him?

"What do I have to do to make you believe me?" So I asked.

After all, every time I acted or lied in front of the Palace Master, maybe I was too stupid or he was too smart. In short, I never succeeded, so this time, I decided to tell the truth, and I took the initiative to ask him to see if he would give the answer. tell me.

"Why should I believe you?" He asked back, "Why do you want me to believe you?"

"Because I like you." Holding my breath, I replied, "You already knew that, didn't you? It's just that you've been using me, but I still like you. Can I be willing to be used by you?"

He nodded, "Since that's the case..." His half-closed eyes have been fully opened, and the light gray pupils reflect my serious and nervous emotions, "You can be your doctor of Qiuhuangdian with peace of mind," he said softly, "I'll tell you when I need you."

I frowned, "Do you really think I'm an object?"

"Sun Yingyu..." The hall master suddenly put his hand on his chest, and remained speechless for a long time.

This is probably one of the results that Xiao Yuer likes to see: heart palpitations.

"Sun Yingyu," the Palace Master spoke again after a long time, unlike the corners of his lips that were raised intentionally or unintentionally just now, the smile had completely disappeared from this person's face, and he became indifferent, as elusive as ever. "You'd better take care of yourself, don't worry about it anymore, otherwise..." slowly turned his eyes away, "I will really kill you."

……

In the middle of Shu, the arrival of Xie Xinghen meant that the palace master no longer had to hide his whereabouts. At this time, five people rushed back to the palace of Emperor Qiu in a starry night.

However, when passing through Yichang, he ran into a trouble, which was caused by the bandit leader. The palace master asked him to arrange a meal, but he led a few people into Xuanyuan Sanguang's own gambling house.

"Is this what you do?" the hall master asked the bandit leader coldly.

The bandit leader found a table for them to sit down, "There is food and drink here, what's the difference?" The bandit leader thought it was reasonable.

"Ge Laozi's!" A yell came, and a bald, gray-haired, one-eyed man with a round beard approached our table. Who learned it.

"I'm Xuanyuan Sanguang!" Xuanyuan Sanguang stood at the door of the self-reported house, I looked up at him, the time I lived in the Valley of the Wicked is not short, but this is the first time I have the opportunity to witness one of the rumored top ten villains, " Evil gambler" Xuanyuan Sanguang.

"I know you!" The bandit leader knew him very well, jumped up and put his arms around the shoulder of the evil gambler, and said while hugging, "You are Xuanyuan Sanguang of Tianguang, Renguang, and Qianyeguang, am I right?"

"Mr. Ge!" Xuanyuan Sanguang cursed again, and turned to look at the bandit leader, "Since you know the rules, if you enter our house, if you don't lose everything to one party, you are not allowed to leave!"

"I know, I know!" The bandit leader took the opportunity to pat Xuanyuan Sanguang's chest again, "I will gamble with you until you take off your pants, but before you gamble, you have to bring some good wine and a table of good food to greet these few position." The bandit chief said, pointing to the palace master first.

"That's easy to say!" Xuanyuan Sanguang waved his hand, "Cuihua, serve the food and wine!"

……

In less than a moment, the hall master was the first to stop chopsticks. I raised my eyes to look at him. Recently, various signs of weakness have appeared, and his appetite has become worse and worse.

Xie Xinghen on the left side drank the soup silently, while on the right side, Jiang Wuque only ate the nearest dish in front of him, no one taught him to pick up other dishes, he lowered his head, the veil on the bamboo hat made it extremely inconvenient for him to eat, However, he will not feel awkward, just as he will not pick up other dishes by himself.

Originally, father and son had dinner at the same table, an opportunity that can only be had in more than ten years. It should be a very warm scene, but now it has become like this. They meet face to face, but they don't know each other.Even now, Xie Xinghen still doesn't know Jiang Wuque's identity. He only knows that the palace master called him Iron Face, and he doesn't even associate it with the prisoner in the cell.

As for Jiang Wuque, if he is sober at this moment, I think he might not be able to swallow a bite of food. In the Hall of Emperor Qiu for more than ten years, what Jiang Wuque least wanted to face and dared to face was always Jie Xing. hatred.

The bandit leader and Xuanyuan Sanguang walked back again. Xuanyuan Sanguang, who was stripped from the upper body, was only wearing a pair of underpants on the lower body.

He slapped the table, "I don't believe it anymore!" Xuanyuan Sanguang suddenly pointed at me, "Come and play with me!"

"Me?" I couldn't react for a moment.

"Hey, hey——" the bandit leader quickly grabbed Xuanyuan Sanguang's arm, and asked loudly, "I won all your Cuihua, so what else do you have to bet on?"

"I still have this body, flesh and bones, and this huge gambling house, why can't I gamble?!"

The bandit leader nodded, "I can gamble." Then he let go.

He did it on purpose again!I put down my chopsticks and stared hard at the bandit leader, this little fish, when can you be free for a while, even if you don't have free time, don't drag me into the water again and again!

Xuanyuan Sanguang has already walked towards me, he is compelled to gamble, watching who is who, it seems impossible for me not to gamble.

However, Jie Xinghen, who had been drinking the soup with his head down, suddenly put down the bowl, grabbed the saber on the table and blocked Xuanyuan Sanguang one step away from me, "I'll bet for her." He said without changing his expression.

"you--"

Xuanyuan Sanguang didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by the palace master's faint order, "Put down the sword." The palace master ordered Xie Xinghen.

"...Yes." Xie Xinghen put the sword back on the table.

"Want to gamble?" The hall master slowly raised his eyes, "I will accompany you."
