thousand words

Baili Mingyan lowered his head to avoid Qian Yuhan's piercing eyes and stared straight at the ground. The doubts that arose in his mind just now made him terrified. He wanted to figure out something but found that he knew very little about this person. At least, he knew almost nothing about Qian Yuhan except for the gossip in the rivers and lakes.

When Baili Mingyan raised his head again, Qian Yuhan had already squatted down and began to grope around the two corpses, as if he wanted to find something of value.His movements were quick and impatient, completely different from Qian Yuhan's lazy and leisurely look in the past.

Baili Mingyan stood there staring blankly at Qian Yuhan for a long time, but Qian Yuhan kept looking down at the two corpses, wondering if he found anything.After a while, Baili Mingyan walked over hesitantly and boldly asked, "Qian Yuhan? What's wrong with you?"

"It's not Qian Yuhan, it's the master." The man replied lightly, with a slightly dissatisfied tone.

Baili Mingyan was taken aback for a moment, as if he was choking on food, and was speechless for a while.

Qian Yuhan turned her head silently for a long time after hearing this: "Silly apprentice, are you staying?"

It was only then that Baili Mingyan came back to his senses. He walked over and squatted beside Qian Yuhan, stared at his profile for a while, then shook his head. He thought maybe there was something wrong with his mind.

"Master..." Baili Mingyan called out with great reluctance, "You don't actually have to kill them." At this time, Baili Mingyan's mood had calmed down, but there was still a knot in his heart, or He still had some expectations for Qian Yuhan and wanted him to give a reason.

Qian Yuhan turned his head and glanced at him and said lightly: "You have also seen that most of the people who look like that are disposable items of the employer."

"What do you mean?"

Qian Yuhan sighed and got up slowly, and said: "Even if I don't kill them, they won't live long and will die worse." After a short pause, he continued: "They were tortured and couldn't eat normally. They can only eat some liquid food to survive, they should be weak, but why do they still have the strength to pick up such a heavy sword and follow us all the way from Liaoyi to here?"

Baili Mingyan said in surprise: "So they followed us from Liaoyi, and you already knew..."

Qian Yuhan nodded: "Of course I know, you forgot that I chose to set off at dusk to let them follow. I wanted to get something out of their mouths, but I didn't expect that the person behind the scenes was too vicious to use this trick."

Later, Qian Yuhan told Baili Mingyan that those people had taken a kind of medicine, which had no name, but people in the Jianghu called it "Huihun San".The name is really apt, people who take this medicine are mostly dying or extremely weak people, eating it can stimulate all the power in the body and make them 'return their souls'.That kind of dying strength is daunting, and no one can estimate the courage of the dying crow to fight for the chicks behind it.The employer used his wife, children and family members as bargaining chips to threaten him, and he himself would eventually die. If he could save his family, anyone would be willing to risk their lives. They are real dead men.If it weren't for Qian Yuhan's overwhelming strength, the two of them would not have been subdued so easily.

"If I don't kill them, when the time comes, the heart will shrink and the blood vessels will fester and die." Qian Yuhan finally concluded.

Baili Mingyan was shocked when he heard that, it turned out that the methods his father used to make him intolerable back then were all kindness.

Baili Mingyan sighed softly: "It's just spying on the situation, why bother..."

Before saying a word, Qian Yuhan looked at him with a serious expression and shook his head slowly.

Baili Mingyan was taken aback for a moment, and said in shock: "Could it be that they want to kill us?!"

"No." Qian Yuhan said with an evil smile, "They didn't want to kill us..." Qian Yuhan walked over and raised his hand to poke Baili Mingyan's chest: "They just want to kill you. Are they capable of killing me?"

Baili Mingyan's expression froze, and he frowned slowly.The heavy blow when he woke up just now was indeed aimed at him. If it wasn't for Qian Yuhan's attack to block him, he might have narrowly escaped death.

Qian Yuhan smiled and said: "So you are still taking advantage. Although I poisoned you, you would have died several times if I didn't protect you along the way..."

Baili Mingyan was silent, but he swore bitterly in his heart that one day he would surpass this arrogant and conceited guy in front of him.

"Why... didn't even say thank you, and looked aggrieved."

Baili Mingyan raised his head and saw Qian Yuhan's smiling eyes moved, and then he said slowly: "Why do you help me? If you just use me, you don't need to clean up my grievances. I have been poisoned by you and you have already suffered." Control, just tell me what you want me to do, don’t expect me to be grateful after such a lot of trouble.”

Qian Yuhan was stunned, then smiled lightly and said: "People in the Jianghu remember eight out of ten | Nine, if you want to mention who remembers my kindness, you can count it with one hand..." Qian Yuhan sighed softly: "After all, in this world Most people only remember hatred. After wandering in the rivers and lakes, I never expected anyone to remember kindness, and I never thought about giving kindness to anyone. You are worrying too much. I am not helping you but helping myself. I am a budget-minded person, so how can I make a loss-making business."

The person in his eyes had a sly smile, he didn't look like an upright gentleman, it really was because he was thinking too much.

"Let's go, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. I'm afraid those people won't let it go..."

Baili Mingyan said casually: "What are you afraid of? Those people should be afraid..."

Qian Yuhan looked at him fixedly in a blink of an eye and said, "Do you still want to see those dead soldiers die by my sword?"

Baili Mingyan was stunned and did not speak.It turned out that this person did not want to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

"We only have nine days. If we drive through the night, we may be able to make it to Beijing at sunset the day after tomorrow." Qian Yuhan quickly packed up his pack and pulled out the horse, turned on the horse and drove away first.

Baili Mingyan frowned, and murmured in a low voice: "It really is a treacherous fox."

I only heard a loud voice coming from the front: "It's not the fox, it's the master——"

Baili Mingyan frowned even deeper.

Fortunately, there were no accidents in the following day, and the journey was safe and sound.

It was dusk when I arrived in the capital, exactly the same as when I left Liaoyi a few days ago.The tall city walls are bathed in the twilight, the blue bricks and golden plaques, the red gates and high pavilions, everything shows the nobility and holiness of this city.The fragrance of flowers and plants floats over the tip of the nose in the evening wind, which reminds people of the colorful life in the capital.

In fact, each city has its own unique flavor that everyone who has been here will remember in their hearts. When they return to this land again, they will know the breath in the wind, there is nothing wrong, it is here...

Qian Yuhan looked up at the dazzling plaque on the city gate and narrowed his eyes slightly, but the usual smile disappeared from the corner of his mouth and became deserted.Such an expression is rarely seen on Qian Yuhan's face, as if the sorrow and joy in his heart have turned into a touch of sadness at the tip of his eyes.The past drifts away like smoke, but the wounds and hatred left behind are engraved on my heart and become scars that can never be erased...

"Have you been here?" Baili Mingyan asked.

Qian Yuhan smiled lightly and said, "Wang Tu, which everyone flocks to, how could I not have been here?" Although he smiled, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

"What are you thinking?"

"You really want to know?" Qian Yuhan turned to look at him with a playful expression. "If you care about it, I'll tell you..."

"I don't really care... let's go."

I don't know why Baili Mingyan is always afraid of facing Qian Yuhan's gaze, as if something has fallen into his hands, making him always want to avoid it.

Qian Yuhan nodded and said: "Yes, let's go directly to the inn, is it in the east or west of the city?"

"In the east of the city, it's faster to walk through the city."

Qian Yuhan looked at the sky and said, "If you hurry up, you should be there before the city gate is closed." After finishing speaking, he whipped his whip and rushed into the city.

The capital city is extremely quiet tonight, the hustle and bustle of the past has disappeared and it has become extremely quiet.

Yes, it is abnormal.Such a situation should not have happened in a metropolis like the capital city. If it hadn't been for the magnificent golden plaque just now, Baili Mingyan would not have believed that the quiet and desolate place in front of him was the capital city.

At this time, Qian Yuhan also slowed down, and his face became serious.Suddenly he jumped up, put his foot on the horse's head, jumped onto the roof, and landed in a small alley in a blink of an eye.

Baili Mingyan didn't have time to chase, so he had to lead his horse and ran towards the alley. When he arrived, Qian Yuhan had already caught a commoner peddler. It's broken, but he seemed to be attracted by Qian Yuhan's appearance again and wanted to look up but didn't dare to look up secretly.

Baili Mingyan frowned, got off his horse, walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" Because the surroundings were too quiet, he couldn't help lowering his voice.

Qian Yuhan didn't answer, grabbed the peddler by the collar and smiled evilly: "You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise I will never show mercy to my sons and grandchildren!"

The peddler was so scared that he knelt down on the ground with weak legs and kowtowed: "You two, I'm just doing a small business in the city, and there are mothers and younger sisters who need to be taken care of at home, please let me go... "

Qian Yu smiled coldly: "I can let you go, as long as you answer truthfully!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Qian Yuhan squatted down, his eyes were extremely bright in the night. "What happened in the capital recently?"

"Several homicide cases have occurred in the city in the past few days. The situation is serious, especially at the feet of the emperor... The Holy One was furious and ordered the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to handle the case himself. Because the case has not been solved for nearly a few days. There is a curfew every day..."

"Is it?"

"Small ones never tell half a lie!"

"Well, I know." Qian Yuhan paused and said, "You can go." After saying that, the peddler scrambled and ran away.

As soon as the peddler ran out of the alley, Baili Mingyan said seriously, "He's lying!"

Qian Yuhan squinted his eyes to signal Baili Mingyan to continue talking.

"How can we enter the city if it's a curfew?"

Qian Yuhan smiled lightly and said, "As expected, my apprentice has a bit of a brain. But he didn't lie, and you're right... So this is a game, and we've already settled in."
