Shen Lie had fallen asleep just now, wearing a light white satin pajamas and a pine green robe.
His black hair, which had been washed and dried before going to bed, hung down to his waist. The lamps above and below the inn fell on his gorgeous and handsome face. In addition to his cold and indifferent temperament, there was also an enchantment that was unique in the world.
Even Xia Zhaoyi had never seen such a heavy look.
"Ah Li." Shen Lie's opening remarks when he arrives, he always calls her by name first.
"Did it wake you up?" Xia Zhaoyi asked, raising his head.
"Not at all." Shen Lie said, looking faintly at Nie Huimo at the bottom.
Their eyes met, Nie Huimo narrowed his eyes and looked straight at him.
Shen Lie did not evade, his face was always calm, but his dark eyes were extremely deep.
The two of them are taller than each other. They are separated by a long and clear staircase. The person at the top is not angry but powerful, with a threatening attitude. He is dressed casually and concisely, and is lazy and leisurely. However, because of his disproportionate indifference, he seems to be carrying murderous intent. .
Even the lowly people were not suppressed. After all, he was a general who had lived in the world for a long time and commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. The intimidating power of Nie Huimo would not be diminished unless he was standing in a low place.
Xia Zhaoyi was standing on a few wooden steps, closer to Nie Huimo. She looked at Shen Lie, then turned to look at Nie Huimo.
The expressions on the faces of the two men remained unchanged, but the air became solemn.
"Do you two have any holidays?" Xia Zhaoyi asked Shen Lie quietly.
Shen Lie looked at her and said in a deep voice: "Nothing."
Xia Zhaoyi nodded, then looked at Nie Huimo: "You said you had decided who you wanted me to kill, why didn't you tell me who it was?"
Nie curled his lips and looked at her with cold eyes: "Is this Shen Lie?"
"yes."
"You two seem to be very close."
"Friends of life and death."
"Just a life-and-death acquaintance?"
Xia Zhaoyi raised her eyebrows lightly: "What do you mean?"
Nie Huimo smiled dryly: "It seems that you are indeed not singing in harmony with the music."
Xia Zhaoyi was furious because his words were frivolous.
"Nie Huimo, you should respect yourself." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Self-respect." Nie Huimo murmured, looking away from the girl and looking at Shen Lie again.
The young man also had obvious mood swings, and his black eyes suddenly turned cold, showing an unstoppable murderous intent.
"I heard that Mr. Shen is very skilled. If there is a chance, can Mr. Nie compete with Mr. Shen?" Nie Huimo said.
"General Nie is a leader who has been fighting for many years, but I don't see the slightest bit of a general in General Nie," Shen Lie said.
Nie Huimo sneered: "Mr. Shen, I was praising you, but you insulted me as soon as you opened your mouth."
"Who cares whether you praise or insult?"
"I should have been angry at your unethical remarks, but when I think about the Shen and Guo families, I feel that I shouldn't argue with you. After all, the family tradition is there, so I should sympathize with you."
"Nie Huimo!" Xia Zhaoyi shouted.
Several waiters in the lobby came over with gloomy faces.
He doesn't hit people in the face, he doesn't criticize people, but he doesn't expose the shortcomings of others. As soon as he comes up, he directly pokes the sorrow in Shen Lie's heart, making everyone angry.
Shen Lie suddenly stepped down. The warm yellow light could not warm his eyes, and his features were as cold as frost in the shadow of the light sky.
Gu'an
Stopping on the steps behind Xia Zhaoyi, Shen Lie said in a deep voice: "Whether General Nie sympathizes or not is not worth a penny in Shen's eyes. Instead of making irresponsible remarks here, you might as well save your energy and go back to figure out how to win the battle between Jinzhou and Huazhou is on tight guard.”
"Jinzhou is far away, but Li Qian is right at your feet," Nie Huimo said with great interest, "This inn is very important to you. If I send someone to the inn now, might it disturb your peace tonight?"
Xia Zhaoyi took a step forward, approached Nie Huimo, and said coldly: "Nie Huimo's head is also very valuable in Li Ju's house."
The girl suddenly approached, her clear eyes staring at him angrily. When other emotions arose, Nie Huimo's heart beat first at the light fragrance, and then at the anger.
"Nie Huimo's head," Nie Huimo smiled casually, "Miss Ah Li, if I really die, I'm afraid you won't be touched at all."
"Either you tell me who you want me to kill, or you leave immediately so that we can be on the same page."
"I want you," Nie Huimo looked at Shen Lie provocatively, "Kill Shen Lie."
Shen Lie's face was impassive and he looked back at him coldly.
"Shen Lie is not your common enemy." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Yes, your life and death friend." Nie Huimo said, looking at Shen Lie all the time.
A candle burned out at this time, and the wick in the lantern gradually dimmed. When the shadow of the flowers disappeared, the stern jade face became darker, and the shadow of the straight bridge of the nose falling on the left half of the face became clearer due to other lanterns.
"You just said you wanted to compete with each other?" Shen Lie said.
"What?" Nie Huimo raised his eyebrows lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the wind of a fist coming.
Nie Huimo's body reacted before his brain, quickly moved sideways to avoid it, and then launched a counterattack.
The waiter in the lobby and Nie Huimo arrived together, and all his subordinates immediately retreated.
Melee combat requires more attention to detail and skills, and is also the most primitive form of power hedging.
Shen Lie was obviously irritated, and he attacked fiercely and continuously. Nie Huimo, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, got ready to fight as fast as he could, but found it very difficult.
In Hengxiang before, he could fight back and forth with the girl for half a day, but now he couldn't find any chance to fight back.
Shen Lie's punch was too fast and his attack was too fierce. He was as angry as a dragon and as powerful as a rushing torrent. Nie Huimo relied on his most instinctive body reaction to fight. Suddenly, when he saw Shen Lie getting up and throwing a punch, he immediately raised his arm to block it.
The powerful punch hit his left forearm, but his body still fell uncontrollably. Nie Huimo quickly used his leg strength to support the legs of the Eight Immortals Table, and placed it upside down on the Eight Immortals Table. Several long benches made a collision sound, and one almost hit the ground.
Shen Lie lowered his head to look at his finger bones, then raised his eyes to look at Nie Huimo, and said calmly: "General Nie is still somewhat capable, he can be regarded as a sandbag."
He compared him to a sandbag!
Nie Huimo was furious, but exhausted, and he realized deeply that in one-on-one, he was no match for Shen Lie.
"No wonder Tanzhou Lin insists on inviting you over, Mr. Shen is so brave." Nie Huimo said without emotion.
Shen Lie frowned lightly, swallowed the sarcasm he wanted to say, raised his hand and arched his head in vain: "I accept."
Xia Zhaoyi picked up the pine green robe on the ground, stepped forward and said, "Shen Lie."
Shen Lie looked sideways and said, "Thank you very much."
Nie Huimo looked at the girl, and Xia Zhaoyi looked at him with some emotion. She still had those clear and clean eyes, and the anger in Nie Huimo's heart was even more sour.
But now he was just a defeated general. He pursed his thin lips into a thin line, raised his hand and said, "Farewell."
"I won't send it away," Xia Zhaoyi said.
Nie Huimo looked at her deeply and turned to leave.
Xia Zhaoyi watched his tall figure disappear through the door and looked at Shen Lie: "You really didn't celebrate the festival?"
