Inside the sky jail, two people were imprisoned in two opposite cells. One of them was wearing a white prison uniform with a beard on his face. He looked miserable, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.
His eyes fell on the person in the cell opposite. His gaze was like a knife, as if he wanted to tear the person opposite him into pieces.
"Master Gao, if you need anything, just ask me. I will help you attentively." The government official helped arrange the inside of the cell, stood aside, looked at Gao Qi, and said with a bow.
Gao Qi felt shy and looked inside the cell. There were no weeds. The original wooden bed had been covered with thick mattresses. Tables and chairs were also moved inside, and a red carpet was spread on the ground.
The small cell has been transformed into a bedroom.
With a slight snort, Gao Qi glanced at Yang Ao opposite him with disdain in his eyes. He looked at the government official next to him and said with a smile: "My uncle will not forget you until his Japanese uncle goes out."
, I will definitely reward you well."
After hearing this, the government official quickly flattered you and said: "Thank you so much for your kindness, sir. I only hope that your injustice can be redressed as soon as possible. If nothing happens, I won't disturb your rest." As he spoke, he slowly
Retreat toward the outside.
Gao Qi ignored the official. He looked at Yang Ao opposite him and sneered: "General Yang, have you seen it? This is the difference between my uncle and you. Even if my uncle is in jail, he comes to curry favor with his uncle.
There are countless people. Do you think that if you stand up and testify against my uncle, you can defeat my uncle? Oh, you are just hitting an egg against a stone."
Yang Ao was sitting there. He glanced at Gao Qi, looked away, and looked away. He said lightly: "Master Gao, don't forget, there are both human and material evidence, so you can't quibble."
Looking at Yang Ao across from him, Gao Qi frowned, a ruthless look flashed across his face, and he suddenly said: "Tell me, who is it? Who asked you to betray your uncle? Is it Yun Mocheng? Humph.
, I knew it was him, he was the only one who liked to go against me."
"Yun Mocheng, hey, even if I die, I don't want to say another word to him. Besides, everyone like you will kill you. I only regret that I was blinded by hatred and did it with you."
Those unforgivable things." Yang Ao looked at Gao Qi and said coldly.
With a sneer, Gao Qi sat on the bed next to him and said disdainfully: "Then let's see who dies in the end. As long as the Queen Mother is here, I will not die and the Gao family will not fall."
Yang Ao turned his head and stopped looking at Gao Qi. His face was full of solemnity. Time passed really slowly!
Zuihonglou is the largest brothel in Liangdu, and its business has always been booming. There is an endless stream of people coming and going. In Liangdu, from the emperor's relatives, to the dignitaries, to the wealthy businessmen and gentry, all are flocking to this place. Even in the
During the day, the Zuihong Mansion is also bustling with people. If it comes at night, if those prostitutes arrive late, they may not even have rooms. The girls inside are all worth a fortune, and it is difficult for people with little wealth to occupy a place here.
Wisps of melodious piano music came from a room. The music was melodious and sweet, and there was a lot of people outside. The music was not loud, and it only attracted some attention from the surrounding people.
The door suddenly opened with a creak, and a dark figure crept in. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he closed the door directly.
The man looked to be in his twenties and had a plain appearance, but his eyes were filled with cold light. Looking at the man sitting on the cushion playing the piano behind the bead curtain, he suddenly knelt on the ground and respectfully bowed to the man.
He said in a loud voice: "This subordinate pays homage to the master."
Behind the bead curtain, there is a navy blue brocade robe with mysterious cloud sleeves. A man is sitting on the ground. He lowers his eyes and looks like he is immersed in the world he has created. His long and graceful fingers are dancing on the strings like clouds and flowing water.
The long eyelashes formed a seductive arc on the heart-shaped face. He moved with the sound, and occasionally raised his head, revealing his handsome face. It was just something flickering in his eyes that made people
I can't catch it, but it looks soft. However, what is fleeting is the gloomy, deep, blue sea like the late night, which makes people unable to see through.
The sound of the piano was sporadic, and the tune came and went, and finally it gradually fell. His slender fingers were directly placed on the strings, and the sound of the piano stopped suddenly. The corners of the man sitting on the cushion suddenly raised his lips, and he said lightly
: "Shang Tan, what do you think of the sound of the piano in this palace?"
Hearing this, Shang Tan was startled and quickly raised his hands and said, "Of course it sounds beautiful."
Shaking his head slightly, the man in the navy blue brocade robe had a hint of joking in his eyes. He chuckled and said, "There is no need to comfort me. It seems that no matter how hard I try, I can't compare to her stunning beauty."
Qu." As he spoke, he looked at the kneeling man below and said calmly, "How was the investigation on that matter?"
Shang Tan's eyes darkened, he raised his head and looked at the man sitting on the seat, and suddenly said: "Master, I have some clues about the matter you want me to investigate. As you expected, that man has indeed come to Liangdu.
.”
The man on the mat glanced at Shang Tan below, and said with a slight smile: "Of course, I have been looking for her for so long. I have almost searched all over the country, and only this one is missing. Moreover, a few days ago, I have not found her.
Didn't we see Helian Chunqiao next to her on the way? Since she will come to Liangdu, there is only one possibility, that is, she is also in Liangdu."
Shang Tan nodded and said: "It's just that my subordinates have been guarding Linglong Pavilion for so long, but they haven't seen her entering or leaving Linglong Pavilion. However, there are rumors in Liangdu that the Seventh Young Master has appeared before, but they don't know what she is hiding.
Where is it?" When he said this, a solemn look flashed across his face. They had been looking for her whereabouts over the years, but every time they were about to find her, she disappeared without a trace. Thinking of this,
He raised his head and looked at the man in front of him. He felt awe-struck. He had never seen his master be so persistent with a person.
The man sitting on the mat looked at the piano in his hand. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "Don't worry, since Helian Chunqiao and the others are here, she will definitely show up to meet them and stay at Linglong Pavilion.
Of course I can see her. She seems heartless, but she is more affectionate than anyone else. This is her weakness." At this point, a strange look flashed in his narrow eyes.
Shang Tan's brows froze, and he gradually lowered his head. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Could such an amazingly talented person have weaknesses? However, he suddenly thought of something and said immediately: "Your Highness, right now Liangdu is
The case of Gao Qi's embezzlement of disaster money is quite controversial in China. If he is really accused by the Emperor of East Vietnam, wouldn't our plan be to..."
After hearing this, the man raised his chin slightly and said with a smile: "Apologise? You seem to have not clearly seen the situation in the East Yue Kingdom. Do you think that Yang Ao can destroy the decades-old foundation of the Gao family?"
?Haha, don’t forget, the most noble woman in the East Yue Kingdom is not dead yet. As long as she does not die, the Emperor of the East Yue Kingdom will never be able to touch the Gao family, unless there is some breaking point that causes a rift between these two people.
.However, there seems to be no reason at the moment.”
Shang Tan nodded, a look of understanding appeared on his face, and he whispered: "But Gao Qi will be tried tomorrow, and there are witnesses, which makes people worried. After all, if the Gao family falls, what will happen to them?"
It’s not good for us.”
The man on the ground suddenly stood up, an unpredictable smile flashed across his handsome face. He looked ahead and said: "What are you afraid of? Maybe losing the Gao family is not a bad thing for us. A tiger without its claws
He is just a paper tiger. If he wants to continue his prestige, he will have to find another backer. At that time, it will be our opportunity. Besides, the Gao family is not the only force in Liangdu. I have discovered something interesting recently.
Something." When he said this, his eyes became more and more strange.
Looking at his master in confusion, Shang Tan's expression tightened slightly. What did His Highness mean by this? Besides, apart from the power of the Gao family in Liangdu, there was only... Thinking of this, he suddenly frowned.
"By the way, where is that person? Gao Qi was caught, but there is no news about him. Please keep an eye on his whereabouts." The man said suddenly, a look of calmness flashed in his eyes.
Shang Tan nodded and said respectfully: "Yes!" After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Your Highness, this Zuihong Mansion is a place of fireworks after all. Should we change places?"
Shaking his head slightly, the man in navy blue clothes looked ahead and said calmly: "Don't you think this is the best hiding place? Besides..." At this point, there was a hint of awe on his face, and he said coldly
, "If you want to hide it from her eyes, I'm afraid you can only hide it here." I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it for long, but it's enough.
There was no wind at night. In a jungle, two figures were walking through the dark night. The two figures, one black and one white, were like black and white Rakshasa from the underworld, without a trace.
I don't know how long it took, but the two figures finally stopped and stood in the wilderness one behind the other.
The cold wind howled by, and the wilderness was already colder than other places. The white figure in front suddenly coughed a few times, and a trace of pain appeared on his elegant and picturesque face. He gently stroked his chest, elegantly
The eyebrows knitted together slightly.
Listening to the coughing sound of the person in front, the man following behind had a look of doubt on his handsome and enchanting face. His deep eyes fell firmly on the man in front of him. Was he internally injured?
"Are you looking for me?" The man in white clothes in front suddenly put down his hand. He turned around, looked at the man behind him, and said lightly. There was no expression on his handsome face, and his voice was even calmer.
His single pair of eyes flashed, as if he was sizing up the man in front of him.
Mu Jingnan took a step forward. He put his hands behind his back, and his enchanting face was full of solemnity. He looked at the man in front of him. Is this the man she cares about? If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he might not have believed it.
, who would a woman like her be tempted by, but if it were the man in front of him, he actually thought it was possible. Even if he was this man, he couldn't see his true identity, and Ji Lengxue also said that he was like
He was like a mystery. The dazzlingly tight snow clothes and the flawless aura all over his body gave people the illusion that he really came from the sky.
Looking back, Mu Jingnan said calmly: "Who are you?"
Hearing these words, Feng Lingxuan's eyebrows suddenly knitted together. He looked at the man in front of him again. He had his hands behind his back, and his face was full of calmness, especially those eyes, which were deep and distant.
If he hadn't known his true identity, he would have recognized the wrong person. Suddenly, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, like the spring breeze in March, gentle and comfortable, and he said lightly: "Did you know, you look a lot like a
people."
Looks like the same person? After hearing this, a look of doubt flashed across Mu Jingnan's face. He looked at the man in front of him, what did he want to say?
Feng Lingxuan walked a few steps forward, his eyes focused on Mu Jingnan, as if he wanted to see him clearly, but in the end he stopped three times outside of him.
"It doesn't matter who I am. Maybe I'm just a passer-by in front of everyone. I come in a hurry and leave in a hurry. I don't bring anything or take away anything else. When I see you, it always reminds me of a lot of things.
Let's remember the past." Feng Lingxuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the night sky, a trace of melancholy appeared on his face, but his lips were slightly raised, as if he was immersed in some kind of memory.
Frowning slightly, Mu Jingnan's heart sank slightly as he looked at the man in front of him. What did he mean? This man looked as calm as a spring breeze. It was really hard to grasp for Ji Lengxue. Or it could be said,
Even though he was living in front of them, people always felt as if he didn't exist. Thinking of this, the doubts in his heart became more and more intense.
Mu Jingnan suddenly said: "Can you tell me about her?"
After hearing this, Feng Lingxuan came back to his senses. He looked away and looked at Mu Jingnan. He said calmly: "Why don't you ask her? Isn't the answer she gave more clear?"
Shaking his head slightly, Mu Jingnan turned around and looked ahead. He raised his head and looked at the boundless night, and suddenly said solemnly: "Ask her? Ha, I don't know where to start. I always feel that I will touch her.
It feels like a pain in my heart. In that case, I would rather not ask."
"Maybe if you ask, you won't necessarily help her lighten the burden. In fact, she is the same as ordinary women, and she also needs that kind of care. I will never forget her leopard-like eyes at that time, fierce and sinister.
It seems like there is a lot of hatred mixed with it, that look is so distressing." As he said that, Feng Lingxuan paused, and like Mu Jingnan, he turned around and looked at the night, and he continued,
"People always have a reason to live. She used to live just for revenge, but now, from her eyes, I seem to see something else, like sunshine and rain, I always feel that her life has been fulfilled
Colorful."
Mu Jingnan turned his head and looked at the man next to him in surprise. What did he mean by this? Suddenly he frowned and said, "What is your relationship with her?"
After hearing these words, Feng Lingxuan's mouth curled up slightly, and a trace of sigh flashed across his eyes. Even their personalities were so similar. He suddenly said, "What do you think?" As he said that, he suddenly turned around.
Come, look ahead and say, "I always thought you would ask this question, but what I heard from your words is that you care. In this way, I can rest assured to leave her in your hands." As he said that, he directly
Go forward.
Mu Jingnan frowned and looked at the figure walking forward. Suddenly he said in a deep voice: "Thank you so much for healing her. If you need anything, just ask. I don't want her to owe anyone else any favors.
And still..." He didn't finish what he said next.
Feng Lingxuan in front paused and said calmly: "Does she know this? When you talk to me, why don't you talk to her? Sure enough, these temperaments are really similar." As he said that, he suddenly touched his hand.
Black and red blood slowly dripped from his chest and corners of his mouth, and some of it fell directly on his white clothes, as enchanting as a blooming flower.
Looking at the red color on his chest, Feng Lingxuan closed his eyes. Suddenly, he walked directly forward, and his figure disappeared into the night sky.
Not long after Feng Lingxuan left, the two figures behind him caught up with him. Looking at the man in white who had disappeared without a trace, Ziying stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to chase him?"
Mu Jingnan came back to his senses and said calmly: "No need."
On the contrary, Guyao Cheng took a few steps forward. Suddenly he squatted on the ground and sniffed. Suddenly his hand fell on the place where Feng Lingxuan was standing before. The grass seemed to be stained with something.
It looked like something. He squeezed it gently, picked it up and smelled it. A trace of doubt flashed between his eyebrows. Suddenly he stood up, looked at Mu Jingnan and said, "He seems to have suffered serious internal injuries."
Serious injury? Mu Jingnan narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure it's a serious internal injury?"
Guyao Cheng said solemnly: "Of course, otherwise you guys didn't fight at all, why would he vomit blood? However, it may not be an internal injury, that is, he is in poor health, but it is often the heart or internal organs that cause vomiting blood.
He is suffering from a disease, and his blood has turned black. If it is the latter, he may not have a few years to live."
Nodding slightly, Mu Jingnan suddenly remembered the way he spoke, as if he was always saying something strange. It was really hard to see through such a person.
"Well, there is no need to investigate his matter anymore. If you find Ice Lotus again, remember to get it at all costs. Gao Qi's case will be tried tomorrow. Gao Ke has not been caught yet. There is no guarantee that he will rob the prison. Over there in the sky prison
Please pay more attention." After saying that, Mu Jingnan turned around and walked forward directly.
Looking at Mu Jingnan's back, Guyao Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud. He looked at Ziying next to him and said, "Do you think his appearance makes you want to laugh? He is obviously a love rival, but he wants to
You are so stupid to save me." As he said this, he winked at her, as if he was trying to please her.
Ziying next to her glanced at Lonely City and said angrily: "I think you are the one who is ridiculous." After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and followed Mu Jingnan directly.
The smile on Guyaocheng's face slowly dissipated, and he sighed. It seemed that he really had a long time to live.
All night long, Yunyan lay on the bed tossing and turning, finally unable to fall asleep. Her mind kept thinking about what happened during the day. At that time, when she was talking to her elder brother, why did she speak for him? This was the first time she had done this.
When talking to her eldest brother, the image of him leaving her mind lingered all day long. Now that he was here, why didn't he say a word? Then all this was because of guilt, and that's why he came to save her just now.
? She just felt upset and nervous.
After finally staying up until dawn, looking at the sun that had come out outside, she almost forgot that today she was going to trial Gao Qi's corruption case.
In the room, Yunyan walked to the dressing table and sat down. She raised her right hand and touched her sleepy eyes with cold fingers. These eyes looked particularly lackluster, and her face was even more frighteningly pale.
She glanced at the rouge and gouache on the table.
Suddenly she chuckled and looked at her face in the bronze mirror. No matter how much makeup she applied, the pale face under her eyes could not be covered up. She fiddled with her hair, and the wound that was originally covered by the thick hair on her forehead was
It was also exposed. If she wasn't afraid that her injury would be publicized, she wouldn't have taken off the bandage on her head. Fortunately, her body's recovery ability has always been better than ordinary people, and there was already a layer of scabs and pink on it.
The pink color complemented the birthmark on the left side of her face, making her pale face even more enchanting.
Gently stroking the face and looking at the face in the mirror, Yun Yan's mouth curled up slightly. This was the first time she looked at this face so seriously. Her hand fell on the red birthmark on her face. It turned out that this
The birthmark has been with her for so many years. Everyone in the world said that this birthmark was ugly. However, her thumb gently pressed the location of the birthmark, and she laughed at herself, but this is all the reason why she can survive until now.
Block birthmark.
In the past, what she hated most was this face. At first it was because of the birthmark on his face, but later it was all because of that person's eyes. When they first met, his eyes clearly seemed to see someone she knew.
He was an ordinary person. But she was still young at that time, so how could she know him. Later, she also noticed that every time he looked at her, his absent-minded expression, his slightly startled eyes, even if his eyes fell on
On her body, but she knew that the person he was looking at was not her, he was just looking at someone with a face similar to hers. At that time, she was always thinking about how similar this face was to the person in his heart.
Like, how can she be someone else's substitute.
Thinking of this, Yunyan took out a mask from the drawer on the side. That's why she learned the art of disguise. But when she talked about the art of disguise, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. She prided herself on being a master of disguise, but she still couldn't help it.
Can't hide it from him.
After some sorting, a handsome young man in white suddenly appeared in the mirror. She looked around and saw that his face was very good, without any flaws. Her handsome face raised slightly, stood up, and looked at the sky outside.
She got the news last night that today the Liangdu Prefecture Yin Li Practitioner Association will try Gao Qi's corruption case. Is this the so-called clearing of the clouds? Finally, she has waited.
"Ahem..." In the courtyard, Yun Yan was about to jump up the wall. She suddenly raised her hand and touched it slightly to her mouth. She closed her eyes and used the internal energy in her body. After a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately,
, suppressed it. After shedding a sigh of relief, she glanced at the roses in the yard, a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously, and she jumped directly onto the wall.
