Yan'er left, but not because she was persuaded by Gongsun Cheng, but because of his words, which completely plunged her into an endless loop of doubt.
The message left by the mysterious man yesterday not only disrupted Yan'er's fragile defenses, but also had a more important effect, which was to make all Yan'er's suspicions and speculations based on "Li Quan is dead."
"It starts from this point.
But at this moment, Gongsun Cheng completely denied this, and even had a few so-called knights from Shu to prove for him that Li Quan was still alive.
But Yan'er knew her father. Although that man was loyal to the young master and even sacrificed his daughter for the young master, he was not a cold-blooded person. Even because of this matter, her father had always felt guilty. If the other man was still alive,
I will definitely ask someone to report it.
Even the imperial court's letter against Gang Leader Lu could be sent back. There is no reason why he couldn't bring back the letter from an ordinary guard. Moreover, when talking about this matter, the unnatural look on Gongsun Cheng's face was also attracted by Yan'er.
I noticed it keenly.
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will quickly take root and sprout. To trust someone wholeheartedly may take ten or even decades of accumulation, but if you want to doubt someone, all it takes is a thought.
Yan'er didn't believe anyone at this moment. There was no news about Li Quan, and Gongsun Cheng's behavior on this matter was very strange, which made her have to think about the worst. Could it be that what was said in the letter was all true?
?
The wedding is coming soon, but Yan'er has no intention of anything important in her life. All she wants to know with full satisfaction at this moment is the news about his father, whether he is alive or dead, whether he encountered a gangster or was... Gongsun Cheng
Killed.
That night, Yan'er fell asleep after a hard day, but the nightmare was still tormenting her. This time, in addition to Lu Peng, there were also her father who died tragically and Gongsun holding a butcher knife.
Accept.
Yan'er woke up from her dream again. The moon was shining brightly and it was quiet in the middle of the night. She got up from the bed covered in cold sweat and subconsciously looked towards the window sill. There was no one there.
But that ghostly and mysterious voice sounded in her ears: "Miss Yan'er, good evening."
Yan'er jumped up and rolled to the end of the bed. She covered her mouth to keep from screaming. She looked back in horror. The mysterious man from yesterday was standing at the head of her bed, staring at her with a smile.
"You -" Yan'er lowered her voice subconsciously, stared at him and said, "Why are you here? I will never believe those centrifugal words you said yesterday."
"In that case, why don't you, girl, shout louder, call everyone here, and arrest me?" The mysterious man reacted calmly, as if he had a plan in mind.
Sure enough, Yan'er was speechless for a while. If she was really as determined as she said, she would have called people out long ago, so there was no need to test her with words.
The mysterious man smiled and said in a controlling tone: "Miss Yan'er, I know that you are troubled by doubts. If you want to know the truth, then come with me."
Yan'er was surprised, but still a little hesitant, but the other party didn't wait for her to prepare, and directly used the same trick to tap her acupuncture points, lifted her up and climbed out of the window.
Being treated so frivolously by the same man twice in a row made Yan'er feel ashamed and angry, but she was unable to resist and had to swallow the pain silently.
This mysterious man led her up and down the eaves and walls, and soon stopped in a familiar courtyard. Yan'er recognized it at a glance. This was Gongsun Cheng's courtyard.
In the dead of night, the lights in Gongsun Cheng's study were still bright. The mysterious man placed her on the roof without unlocking her acupuncture points, and he himself became as motionless as a statue.
Yan'er didn't understand what he meant, but subconsciously heard Gongsun Cheng's voice in the room below.
"Haven't you found out yet? They're all trash!" Gongsun Cheng's angry voice echoed in the room.
Another voice replied in a low voice: "Young Master, calm down for a moment. Li Quan may not be still alive. Maybe it's those Jianghu people who are talking nonsense?"
Li Quan! When she heard this name, Yan'er trembled all over and could hardly believe her ears. She heard Gongsun Cheng curse angrily: "Talking nonsense? I think you guys did a bad job and got it for yourself."
Make an excuse! If you can’t even take away a single Li, what use do I want from you?”
Gongsun Cheng's words were like a heavy hammer, crushing the remaining hope in Yan'er's heart. Her thin lips like cicada wings trembled slightly, but she couldn't make a sound, and painful tears burst out of her eyes.
"Li Quan is still alive! He is in Shu! I want you to do everything you can to find him and kill him!"

After listening to Gongsun Cheng's absolute words, the light in Yan'er's eyes finally dissipated completely. The mysterious man looked at this scene with satisfaction, and then he picked her up. Before leaving, he did not forget to lift his legs and move her slightly.
Bricks on the eaves.
This little movement immediately made Gongsun Cheng tense up. Without him having to speak, a servant in front of him flew out of the house and climbed up to the roof.
After a while, the servant came back, holding a wild cat in his hand. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. It's a cat out for food. I will send it away right now."
"Yeah." Gongsun Cheng waved his hand impatiently.
The remaining servants understood, and they who had been eloquent just now and kept mentioning Li Quan's affairs now became dull and silent.
Gongsun Cheng originally had nothing to say to them, but tonight someone suddenly mentioned Li Quan's matter carelessly, so he couldn't help but teach the person a lesson again. Now his anger was coming out, so he waved everyone away.
.
The servants made eye contact, smiled knowingly, and then retreated back to their rooms to rest.
On the other side, Yan'er was returned to the boudoir intact, but at this moment, she became a corpse that could only breathe. She lay upright on the bed, her eyes were distracted, and she seemed to have lost interest in everything.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The mysterious man unlocked her acupuncture points, and Fu Er said to her: "Now that the girl knows the truth, is there anything you want to ask me?"
After a long silence, Yan'er's lifeless eyes moved slightly, and she said hoarsely: "My dad, in the end..."
"Dead," the mysterious man shattered Yan'er's last hope with just one sentence. He said, "Your father was killed by Master Gongsun's order a long time ago. Now these rumors are all used to make people laugh."
Yan'er's tears had dried up, but at this moment, she suddenly turned over and got up from the bed, rummaged in the closet, and took out the skull from yesterday, while she kept whimpering in her throat.
Seeing this, the mysterious man jokingly said: "There is one more thing I want to tell the girl. After Li Quan was killed, his body was thrown into the lake. At this moment, it has already become a meal for fish and shrimps. This head is just for the girl.
It’s just a prop for a joke.”
But Yan'er couldn't listen to his words. She just held the skull that was thrown in a mass grave by an unknown family and mourned.
The mysterious man shook his head helplessly: "Miss Yan'er, if you feel that the revenge of killing your father is nothing more than this, you can continue to play the role of a good sister in Gongsun Cheng's hands, but - if you have even the slightest desire to fulfill your filial piety,
I think I might be able to help you a little bit."
Slowly, Yan'er's emotions calmed down, her silent tears had long since dried up, and she turned around.
At this time, the clouds and mist covered the moonlight, Yan'er's eyes lost their light and were cast into deep shadows, the wind started, and the mysterious man magically took out a handful of red flowers, accompanied by flying red petals.
Yan'er's long hair danced like flying blood.
This scene made the mysterious man slightly lost in thought, and he couldn't help but sigh: "As expected, as the Lord said, only the color of blood is the most suitable for a woman like you."
The wind stopped, and the girl who stood on the remains of the flower, with Yan'er's appearance and an unknown monster inside, said, "I can help you, but I need payment."
The mysterious man nodded, then took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to the other party: "As long as you let Lu Peng take this thing, Gongsun Cheng, we will personally hand it over to you and let you do with it as you wish."
