The call from Xu Tianyin made Xia Shao stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he had made the sheath of the Dragon Scale Knife himself, and he had also cast the spell on it. He knew it as soon as she opened the Shu Xunji drama.
Hearing the sound of driving coming clearly from the other end of the phone, which seemed to be driving very fast, Xia Shao hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's been solved. Senior brother, there's no need to come over."
Xu Tianyin's speed did not slow down at all, and he asked: "Where is it?"
Xia Shao smiled bitterly after hearing this. The two had made an appointment to meet tomorrow. Because she has to go home the day after tomorrow, Xu Tianyin's work in the military region will be arranged tomorrow. She wants to buy something for her parents and master to take home tomorrow, so she captures her senior brother as a coolie. We originally planned to meet at noon tomorrow, but I didn't expect to encounter this tonight.
Xia Shao knew Xu Tianyin's temperament. If he asked, he would definitely come, and it was useless to persuade him. So I had to say: "See you in the sea, I should have gone back when you came. Anyway, I'm fine, please drive slowly."
As Xia Shao spoke, she glanced at the time displayed on the phone screen, and then said, "If you arrive before eleven o'clock, I won't open the door for you."
She knew that the drive from the military zone to the city took more than two hours, so she simply set a time limit for him to prevent him from driving too fast on the road and it was unsafe.
Sure enough, Xia Shao's threat of not opening the door in the morning was very effective. The sound of the car on the other end of the phone was obviously not as noisy as before. Xu Tianyin said: "Wait for me."
Then, he hung up the phone.
Xia Shao put her phone away and saw Gong Muyun looking at her, his eyes seemed to become deep in the darkness, with unknown meaning surging.
"Have you called?" Xia Shao asked with raised eyebrows.
Gong Muyun smiled and dialed the number. He glanced at Xia Shao before picking up the phone and said with a smile, "You senior brothers and sisters have a good relationship."
Xia Shao shrugged, is there anything wrong with having a good relationship
She didn't answer, but Yan Longyuan's voice was heard on the other end of the phone. Gong Muyun gave simple instructions and hung up the phone.
At this time, I heard the noisy sound outside, "What's going on? Why don't the lights on this floor turn on?"
"Huh? Why didn't anyone come to notify me?"
"I don't know, go and see how the customers are doing!"
As soon as Xia Shao heard the voice, she decisively closed the door of the foyer to isolate the situation inside, and then looked at Gong Muyun. Although the two of them could go downstairs through the escape passage at the other end of the corridor, it was useless. She booked this hotel tonight. There were so many people dead in the room, from swords, guns and grenades. As soon as the hotel called the police, she would be questioned immediately. Therefore, it depends on how the care provider handles this matter.
Gong Muyun's eyes showed some admiration. If he saw it correctly, the man lying on the ground was her first time to kill someone. She can still stand calmly now, which is not easy considering her age, growth trajectory and family education.
Without her, tonight's matter would not have been resolved so smoothly. For him, these assassinations were commonplace, but for her, this was probably the first time.
At this time, the light in the room flashed twice and then turned on.
The sudden light made her eyes uncomfortable. Xia Shao squinted her eyes, but the light in front of her eyes suddenly dimmed.
A hand was placed in front of her eyes. Xia Shao was stunned by the faint scent of sandalwood and instinctively moved away.
"Shh!" Gong Muyun pulled her to the wall and placed his palms in front of her eyes.
At this time, the noise outside became even louder. Someone was running back and forth in the corridor, "What's going on? The customers are all..."
"What happened? Are they all dead?"
"They all fainted!" The speaker's tone was also relaxed, but then he became nervous again, "What, what's going on? Is there something wrong with the food in our hotel?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Why are other customers okay? Don't worry about so much and call an ambulance!"
There was another rush in the corridor, and then there was a knock on the door, "Guest inside, are you okay?"
"We have nothing to do, let's go and take care of the others first." Gong Muyun stood across the doorway.
The waiter outside the door also felt strange. The guests in other halls had fainted. Why was it that only this hall was fine? But at this time, it was a mess and there were not enough manpower, so the waiter didn't ask any questions and hurriedly went to other places to help.
After the man left, Gong Muyun's hand was still covering Xia Shao's eyes. In Xia Shao's sight, except for the thin powder on the man's palm, he could see nothing clearly. He could only smell the bloody smell on the ground, but could not see the person lying on the ground. corpse. Only then did she realize that Gong Muyun didn't want her to see the tragic situation in the house.
Xia Shao smiled, but unaccustomedly stepped aside and left the man's palm, "It's okay."
She was the one who killed the person. She even dared to kill people. Was she still afraid of looking at the body? Furthermore, this person's life is in her hands. No matter what, she has to bear whatever she has to bear. Remember that this person should also bear it.
Gong Muyun watched her retreat. The girl lowered her head, looking like she was avoiding him. He felt the soft heat leave his palms, and even the slight itching sensation he felt when his palms were brushed by two small brushes still remained. She was dressed in a cheongsam as light and tender as early spring, clean and tidy. She stood in front of two blood-stained corpses at the door, like an inch of peaceful pure land in this world.
Gong Muyun lowered his eyes, raised his hand and put it on the wall.
"Snapped!"
The lights in the hall were turned off by him.
Xia Shao was stunned for a moment, then she saw Gong Muyun standing by the wall, with a handsome and slender figure in the darkness. His tone was still so casual, and he said with a smile: "I was much younger than you at that time. I killed that man, but I didn't go there." Look at his appearance. If you don’t look at the first one, then everything after that will be the same.”
His tone was joking, but Xia Shao heard that he was talking about his first murder.
If you don’t watch the first one, will everything be the same after that
This was said lightly, but she always felt that there was an indescribable desolation in the man's casual smile. Like a small child, he grew up in the world of killing and being killed. Along the way, he never looked at the people who fell at his feet. Gradually, everyone looked the same to him, and their faces were blurred. The blood shed at death is real.
However, he didn't even bother to look at these facts. He just smiled as he watched these people go on and on and die.
What kind of life is this
Xia Shao lowered her eyes lightly. It was obvious that the world Gong Muyun lived in was too far away from hers.
"It seems that the head of the wedding party is not having a good time." Xia Shao smiled, walked to the clothes rack in the dark, took out the coat and put it on, then went to the banquet and opened a chair to sit down, and put Long Put the scales into your bag and wait.
Gong Muyun looked at her back, smiled slightly, stopped talking, and waited with her.
Yan Longyuan arrived very quickly. The urban area is so big. Even though Gong Muyun called, he arrived in about seven or eight minutes.
A group of twenty or thirty men in black with solemn faces came in and took a look at the situation in the room. Yan Longyuan came over and knelt on one knee in front of Gong Muyun. He lowered his head and apologized, "Master, I scared you."
Gong Muyun has been standing by the door with a long body, a look of indifference on his picturesque eyebrows, his eyes are downcast lightly, but it can make people feel the strength, "I don't care, it's been a good night, but Miss Xia was shocked, but she is very Sorry."
Upon hearing this, Yan Longyuan did not get up from the ground, but turned around and knelt down to apologize to Xia Shao who was sitting in the chair, "Mr. Xia, my subordinates were late, and you were frightened."
Although Xia Shao knew that wedding receptions had an ancient origin, she didn't expect that these rules still existed. Although she was not used to being kneeled by others, she didn't show it on her face. She just said: "Boss Yan, please get up. Today's matter... It may have something to do with me."
Yan Longyuan didn't react at all when he heard this. He knelt on the ground, with his back straight and his head lowered, as if he was letting himself be dealt with.
"You just invited me to dinner. These people are all-pervasive." Apparently Gong Muyun thought that Xia Shao meant that if she didn't invite him to dinner tonight, these things wouldn't happen. He smiled gently, and when he lowered his eyes to look at Yan Longyuan, the meaning in his eyes had turned cold, and he asked casually, "Have you figured out where these people came from?"
Yan Longyuan knelt and turned around, leaned over and said, "Qi Chen."
Gong Muyun raised his eyebrows slightly, but was not surprised. He turned around and glanced into the tea room, "The woman still has breath left. Save her. Send her back to the Qi family as a return gift."
"yes."
Xia Shao looked at Yan Longyuan, who was usually in awe of the black and white people in the province, but now he didn't dare to say anything in front of Gong Muyun. He couldn't help but lower his eyes, shook his head inwardly, and secretly sighed that these people were really not in the same world as him.
It's not a world, and she's not nosy. But Gong Muyun's mention of the woman reminded her of something.
Xia Shao immediately got up and went to the tea room. The bodies of four men on the ground were all killed by the attack between their eyebrows. Although this man was killed by Gong Muyun, he was trapped by her own hands, and she had a share in it. She walked past the body and came to the soft couch, where she saw that the woman lying on the ground had very weak breath.
What Xia Shao wanted to find out was why she didn't see murderous intent in this woman's face. Her murderous aura can be restrained through training, but the information on her face cannot be concealed by her consciousness.
Why didn't she see it
Xia Shao stared at the woman. She fell to the ground, her wrists were twisted unnaturally, and she was shot in the chest. Her breath was so weak that she was almost dying, her eyes were tightly closed, and she was unconscious. .
At this time, the lights in the tea room were bright, and the warm yellow light shone on the woman's face. It can be seen that this woman has a beautiful face, with fair and rosy skin, willow eyebrows and red lips, which makes her a beauty.
"… "Huh
Xia Shao was suddenly startled, feeling that something was not right.
beauty
There's nothing wrong with the beauty, but... what's going on with this skin? !
This woman was so seriously injured, why was her skin still white and rosy? Ordinary people have already turned pale, right
Xia Shao's eyes changed and she thought of a possibility. She squatted down and touched the woman's face. She didn't know if her guess was right, but she just remembered the scene when she was watching TV before, and touched something on the side of the woman's cheek.
A slender jade-like hand stretched out from behind.
Although the hand was as gentle as jade, the fingers that probed the side of the woman's cheek used cool and decisive force, and accurately opened a corner, tearing it off smoothly, and a thin mask was already in hand.
Xia Shao looked at the mask in Gong Muyun's hand in surprise. She had heard her master say that during the Republic of China, there were old artists who could make human skin masks and put them on their faces, making them no different from real people. This kind of technology no longer exists, but as technology advances, it can be made with some high-tech materials. Xia Shao had only heard about this before, but she didn't expect that she would actually see it tonight!
Xia Shao didn't take the mask, but took one more look at the woman's completely different face. Her face was already pale, with no trace of blood left.
"I see, no wonder." Xia Shao murmured. No wonder she couldn't read the information on the woman's face. It turned out that it wasn't her face at all!
A disguised face is really the enemy of physiognomy.
"There are many of these people who don't show their true colors. That's why I said, it's okay not to look at some faces. Even if you remember them, it may not be the one you saw." Gong Muyun threw the mask aside as if it were discarded A piece of garbage.
Xia Shao could tell that his words were still meant to comfort her, and he didn't want her to look at these faces to avoid being burdened with too much. But she just smiled. Gong Muyun underestimated her too much. She was not that fragile. She is not afraid of carrying it, but she is afraid that she does not even have the courage to carry it.
"May I ask, who is Qi Chen?" Xia Shao smiled and suddenly spoke.
She didn't bother to ask about the funeral, and she didn't know how to ask. But there is something fishy about this matter. Although we have figured out the killer's problem, there is still one thing. If she was here for Gong Muyun tonight, she should have noticed that he was in danger. I didn’t see it, which can only mean that this matter is related to her!
Who is this Qi Chen
Gong Muyun did not hide who Qi Chen was. Even though Xia Shao did not tell him the reason for asking this, and even though she seemed to be inquiring about the affairs of the wedding ceremony, Gong Muyun still smiled gracefully and said: "Qi Chen, it's Now the leader of the Triads is an old enemy.”
Xia Shao raised his eyes, the leader of the Triad
"..." The sudden answer made Xia Shao lower her eyes, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart. Her mind wandered, but she said no more.
She encountered this kind of thing when she went out tonight, and she wanted to go back early to rest. The many speculations in her heart were just speculations now, so she stopped talking about it in front of Gong Muyun and waited for her senior brother to come.
The Peace Society has its own methods for dealing with these assassinations. They had already greeted the hotel's senior management, and when the hotel closed in the early morning, the corpses were carried out through the safe passage and disposed of by the gang. The police were not alerted at all as he was unaware of the situation.
Yan Longyuan can handle these matters, and there is no need for Gong Muyun to stay here. He and Xia Shao left the hotel together. As soon as they walked out, he looked at her with a smile and said, "Want to go back?"
"Yes." Xia Shao nodded. She drove here tonight by herself and did not ask the company's driver to come. "You should go back and rest early."
Xia Shao was afraid that Gong Muyun would ask her to send her off, so she spoke first.
Unexpectedly, the man raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were gleaming, he just smiled, raised his hand and slipped out something from nowhere, handed it to Xia Shao, "Here, it's for peace of mind."
Xia Shao's eyes fell on Gong Muyun's palm and saw a piece of exquisitely carved red sandalwood in the man's palm, which was made into a pendant. It was very elegant. In the night wind, the fragrance of red sandalwood was deep. Xia Shao raised her eyebrows slightly when she smelled it. Then she realized that it was no wonder that there was a faint sandalwood fragrance on Gong Muyun's body, and she thought he had scented his clothes. Unexpectedly, I wore this fragrance on my body.
However, how could she ask for the items Gong Muyun carried with him
"It's not a valuable thing. What I got is something that can calm the nerves. If you are frightened tonight, take it and use it." As if expecting her to refuse, Gong Muyun took the lead and looked at Xia Shao with a smile, "In the world There is no distinction between weight and weight in things. Everything depends on your mind. If you think it is heavy, it will be heavy. If you think it is light, it will be light. If you think there are other thoughts in it, then you think it is heavy. This is not right. I dare to take it easily. But to me, it is just a soothing thing given to a friend to express my apology for tonight."
When he talked about this, he seemed to be magnanimous. Xia Shao felt that if she didn't accept it, it would be hypocritical. Then she took it with a smile and said, "Okay, then I will really treat it as a soothing thing and go back and find an incense burner to burn it."
"Whatever." Gong Muyun chuckled and sent Xia Shao into the car.
Xia Shao started the car and slowly drove away from the hotel.
But she didn't know that after the car drove away, the man stood at the door of the hotel with his hands behind his hands, looking at her car, smiling slowly, his eyebrows were graceful and noble, but his eyes seemed to have a little more success.
Xia Shao had already told Xu Tianyin the room number she had booked at Wanghaifeng Hotel. When she returned to the hotel, it was ten o'clock at night, which was still early. She should have gone to the bathroom to take a shower, but Xia Shao had no intention of doing so and closed the door. , the room was as silent as water, and her mind was filled with tonight's events. She threw her things and coat casually on the bed, and sat on the sofa.
I sat there until I heard a knock on the door.
"Who?" The door was knocked with a somewhat anxious sound, and Xia Shao instinctively turned around and asked.
"Me." Xu Tianyin's voice came from outside the door. His voice was cold, but he still deliberately added, "I'm not early."
After hearing this, Xia Shao looked up at the clock on the wall. It happened to be eleven o'clock, and then she remembered that she had stipulated that he drive slowly and not come early. However, the timing was too accurate. Xia Shao laughed, then stood up and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, she was greeted by the man's heaving and heavy chest.
The man was still dressed in black, and the clothes were cold, carrying the coldness of winter nights, but under the thin sweater on his chest, there was a scorching temperature and a heavy heartbeat. He held the girl who opened the door in his arms, holding her arms tightly as if he was afraid of losing her.
Xia Shao buried her face in the man's chest, smelling the familiar smell, knowing that he must have felt relieved when he saw her. But maybe he didn't know that she also felt at ease at this time.
The two hugged each other at the door for a long time, until their emotions settled down, and then they entered the door.
After the door was closed, Xia Shao went to pour hot water, hoping to drive away the cold for Xu Tianyin and also talk about what happened tonight. Of course, she had to hide what happened tonight, the submachine gun and grenades, so as not to worry him.
But as soon as Xia Shao opened her mouth, "Tonight..."
"I understand." Xu Tianyin sat on the sofa, holding a steaming glass of water and looking up at Xia Shao.
"Huh?" Xia Shao was stunned, "What do you know?"
"Gong Muyun, killer, Qi Chen." Xu Tianyin said succinctly.
Xia Shao was stunned, how did he know? Isn't he on the way
"Brother, are you listening to me and driving slower on the road?" Xia Shao suddenly asked with a smile.
"Hmm." The man was obviously stunned, looking at her with dark eyes, and after a long while, he actually dared to nod, "Yeah."
"Nonsense! Liar!" Xia Shao bit her lip and glared at the man in front of her, "If you had driven slower, we should have just arrived. Since we have just arrived, how do you know so clearly?"
"I have information channels." Xu Tianyin's answer was still very concise. Xia Shao didn't let him go. The two looked at each other for a while, and sure enough the man surrendered, "You just said you are not allowed to come to the hotel before eleven o'clock."
As soon as he said these words, Xia Shao laughed angrily at him, neither angry nor laughing, "Have you learned how to find loopholes?"
The man looked at the imposing girl with no expression on his face, but his dark and deep gaze was so capable that people couldn't bear to accuse him. Xia Shao rolled her eyes, Xu Tianyin put the cup on the table next to her, grabbed her with his arms, and hugged her over again.
"I'm afraid something might happen to you." His voice was deep, his breath was even more tense, and his heartbeat was as heavy as a drum.
Xia Shao smiled in his arms, her eyes soft and distressed. Wasn't she afraid that something would happen to him? Otherwise, why not let him drive so fast
"When did you arrive?"
"Ten o'clock."
Xia Shao: "!"
She screamed and got up from Xu Tianyin's arms, with knives in her eyes. It took him half the time to travel for more than two hours! How fast is this car
Seeing that her eyes were murderous again, the man's eyes were dark again, until Xia Shao lost her temper. Then she sighed and warned him not to do this again in the future, and then she told him what happened that night in detail. Now that he already knew, there was no point in hiding it. Then, she expressed her hidden worries, "Do you think the Triads already knew that the master was here? What happened tonight was for Gong Muyun. Or... does that include me?"
Xia Shao always felt that her reputation in Feng Shui had not reached that level yet, and the Triads with their headquarters in the south in Hong Kong should not have known about it so early.
Moreover, if they knew that Master was in Dongshi, they should have caused trouble for Master. Even to deal with her, tonight should not be the only way! After all, if she knew that she was the direct disciple of her master, she would have known that those killers would be fatal to ordinary people, but for her who was proficient in strange arts, those few killers would also bring her death. What's more, Gong Muyun is here tonight
No matter how you look at it, the head of the Anqin Family Association cannot be solved by just a few people, right
Therefore, Xia Shao was not sure whether she was overthinking these things or what. Or maybe tonight's incident was just about Gong Muyun, because the two of them were together and she was implicated, so she didn't see that he was in danger
"You think too much, but it's not enough." Xu Tianyin said, "Gong Muyun and Qi Chen have been fighting since they were young. Qi Chen is arrogant and domineering, and he has killed many people who were close to Gong Muyun. The two have a deadly feud. You were implicated by Gong Muyun tonight."
Xu Tianyin rarely said so many words at a time, just to reassure her.
Xia Shao was a little surprised when she heard this. Is it just because of this
But she still believed Xu Tianyin's speculation. After all, he must have more information about these people than she does, and maybe he knows a lot about them. If the head of the Triad really enjoyed killing the people around Gong Muyun, then there was a real possibility that she would be shot while lying down.
If it is really just because of the grievances between the two people for many years, it means that the Triads have not yet known that the master is still alive.
After thinking about this, Xia Shao breathed a sigh of relief. Master has been missing for seven or eight years. Many people think that Master is no longer alive. Even if he is famous in his own province, not all famous Feng Shui masters in the world can contact him. But it seems that Gong Muyun can't get close in the future, lest someone really notice her. At least before the trip to Hong Kong, she could not get too close to the Peace Society on the surface.
"I will handle these matters." Xu Tianyin suddenly spoke, interrupting Xia Shao's thoughts.
She looked at him, but Xu Tianyin had already stood up, went to the bathroom, filled the water, and asked Xia Shao to take a bath.
Xia Shaoben still had something to say, but he had already put the water away, so he had to go to the bathroom first and think about it after he came out. The bathroom door closed, and the sound of water gradually came from inside. Unexpectedly, the man turned off the light and stood in the dark room with a cold breath, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window.
