bright moon goes west

The conversation fell into a stalemate in an instant.

It was Kazuo Yamamoto's subordinate who broke the embarrassing atmosphere among these people: "President, General Fujiwara sent you a congratulatory gift from the Great R Ben Empire. Do you want someone to carry it in?"

The Fujiwara family is in the maritime trade business, and there are countless things such as diamonds, pearls, ivory, rhino horns, and corals. This time, they specially sent a gift from China to themselves. It must be a very precious gift.Kazuo Yamamoto wanted to save face for his lovely wife, so he ordered: "Let someone carry it in." The subordinates retreated respectfully.

After a while, a group of six people filed in, and a total of three camphorwood boxes were brought into the banquet hall.The subordinates removed the brass locks on the boxes and opened them one by one.

The men and women in the hall suddenly burst into shrill screams, one after another, without a break.

The boxes were full of dismembered corpses. The first box was a woman’s head, which was padded high with bricks, so you could see it when you opened it. The second and third boxes were full of bloody severed limbs. .

Kazuo Yamamoto's pupils constricted for an instant, looking at his sister's fragmented body, his eyes were tearing apart!Now he can't wait to kill all these noisy men and women in the hall!Even though he had already paid the ransom, these kidnappers were so bold that they dared to kill his sister!

Kazuo Yamamoto only felt a sweetness in his throat, and a bloody taste spread on the tip of his tongue. He yelled sullenly: "I hate people!" However, the chaotic screams of men and women directly overwhelmed Kazuo Yamamoto's voice.

The crowd in the banquet hall was restless, visibly chaotic to the naked eye. "Boom-boom-boom-boom-", several gunshots were fired, and the bright and gorgeous crystal chandelier on the ceiling fell at the same time. With the crisp sound of crystals and the screams of the crowd, the entire hall fell into darkness.

Chen Ji and Kazuo Yamamoto shouted at the same time: "Come here!" Soldiers with live ammunition rushed in from the door.Kazuo Yamamoto stepped forward and was about to evacuate, but felt his suit was grabbed by a small white hand, and Chen Nian's voice cracked with fright came from his ear: "I'm afraid!"

He held Chen Nian's arm instead, pulling her to retreat. With a "bang--" gunshot, Kazuo Yamamoto covered his chest, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his body collapsed.

"Nian Nian, what are you doing!" Although there was no light in the hall, Chen Ji was very close to his daughter, and immediately noticed her little movements.

Chen Nian lifted his mask, sneered, and raised his gun again.This time, she didn't succeed, Chen Ji, who had been on guard for a long time, pulled a random person, and the bullet passed through the chest of that poor shield, Chen Ji threw the person away and mixed into the crowd.

"Hey, hey, hey——" The harsh siren cut through the silent night, Chen Ji boarded the car that had already parked at the back door, and drove away.

Sitting in the car, Heng'e saw Chen Ji who was supported by someone come out in a state of distress, and quickly told the driver: "Follow."

The car drove fast all the way, and what surprised Heng'e was that Gaoling didn't arrange an ambush against Chen Ji on this road. Heng'e understood with a simple thought in his heart that Mrs. Chen Si was in Gaoling to cooperate with others, and the commander's mansion must have laid a net. Waiting for Chen Ji to find his own death.

In the middle of the night, the Chen family's mansion was still brightly lit. The fourth lady was wearing a silver gauze shirt, a plain satin white dress, and a pearl hairpin pinned to the round bun on her arm. She wore a string of one hundred Lingbazi's ice-bottomed spinach green and Tianyu jasper Buddha beads reflect a piece of green on the snow-white wrist.

At this moment, the fourth lady carelessly caressed the Buddhist beads on her wrist with her fingers. Her brows and eyes were as cold as ice with a gentle smile on weekdays. She kept looking in the direction of the entrance of the hall, waiting for the night returner.

Finally, there was a sound at the door, and the fourth lady got up quickly, looking at the door of the hall, neither sad nor happy.

"Madam, why are you here?" Chen Ji walked in, clutching his injured arm, and was obviously taken aback when he saw the Fourth Madam.He quickly put away the expression of shock on his face, and put on a normal look.

Seeing the blood stains on Chen Ji's clothes, the Fourth Madam exclaimed, "What's the matter, master? How did you get hurt? Where's Nian'er? Where's my Nian'er?"

Chen Ji looked at his wife's terrified expression, and quickly comforted him: "Nian'er is fine, I was ambushed on the way back from the dinner. It's so late, why are you still in the commander's residence?"

"Master, are you alright?" The fourth lady hurried forward to check on the fourth master's wound. When she saw her husband's bloody wound, her eyes filled with tears, as if she had forgotten the constant quarrels and conflicts between the two these days. cold war. "In the border of Jin L City, how could anyone dare to attack our Chen family! Fortunately, there was no serious injury, if... if..." The fourth lady raised her hand and wiped her eyes, and couldn't continue speaking sadly.

"Ma'am, I'm fine." Chen Ji embraced the sad fourth lady into his arms, avoiding the fourth lady's caring and affectionate eyes.

After more than [-] years of acting, even Chen Ji couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had for his wife. There was some respect, but more guilt. In the lies he has worked so hard to weave.Chen Ji's uninjured hand clenched his fist secretly, let it go on like this, he couldn't imagine, if one day his wife learned the truth, would she go crazy.

"Master, why are you going back to the commander-in-chief's residence at this time?" The fourth lady held back her tears, helped Chen Ji to sit on a chair, and ordered her servants to ask the cook in the kitchen to bring over a bowl of chicken noodle soup.

Chen Ji hurriedly stopped: "It's so late, it's better not to alarm the servants."

When the fourth lady heard this, her willow eyebrows stood upright: "At what time are you still so sympathetic to the servants? The cooks hired by our family must be short of their money! The master wants to eat, no matter what time it is, it is their responsibility !"

"No, ma'am." Chen Ji hurriedly begged, "I think it's so late, this is not our own house after all, what's more, I also ate something at the banquet, and now the wound is still hurting, I really don't know. I have no appetite."

The hypocrite!I was deceived by his gentle and refined appearance.Seeing her husband singing and beating, the fourth lady almost laughed mockingly.However, her reason is extremely sober at this moment, isn't it like acting!She wants to let Chen Ji know tonight that she is not a vegetarian after being immersed in the house for decades!

"You old bastard!" The fourth lady lightly hammered her husband's chest, "You think so much! Isn't this the Chen family, isn't this handsome mansion the eldest brother's mansion? You, you are so used to being cautious. Why is the family divided so clearly!"

Chen Ji shook his head helplessly: "Madam, you don't understand, elder brother trusts me, so I should know how to measure."

The fourth lady interrupted her husband impatiently: "I know what you are going to say, but the eldest brother is our eldest brother first, and the second is the person in power in this golden city."

As soon as the fourth lady finished speaking, a servant came over with a food box, and the little maids quickly placed supper on the table with winks, a bowl of chicken noodle soup, a plate of cold bean sprouts, a plate of bad chicken feet, and a plate of crystal pig. Ears, mixed with three shreds in one plate, and three small pickles, all in one plate.

"It's because you're injured that you need to eat more." The fourth lady handed over the gold-wrapped sandalwood wishful cloud pattern chopsticks, and supervised Chen Ji's meal: "Eat the noodles!"

Chen Ji thought, it's a good thing he injured his left hand, otherwise he would be fed by his wife in public, how could he still hold his head up in front of his servants in the future.

The Fourth Madam watched as Chen Ji ate up a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and Xiaocai also moved a few chopsticks. There was a satisfied smile on the corner of her lips, and she said slowly: "Why don't you see Yan'er these days, even his sister's Not showing up at the wedding, this child, the bigger he gets, the more outrageous he is!"

The fourth lady put on a motherly tone, Chen Ji could barely hold the chopsticks in his hand, thinking of his missing son, he lost his appetite in an instant.

When the Fourth Madam saw this, a dark light flashed in her eyes quickly, she picked up the teacup and blew the foam on it, and took a sip leisurely.For so many years it seemed like a big dream, but now I finally woke up from the dream.When I was young, it was "Peach Li Yiyi, who was in the dark of spring, who was on the swing, whispering softly with a smile", but now the years are urging people, and the face is no longer, but it is full of sadness, and there is no place for arrangement in the world.

"Ma'am, why are you crying?" Chen Ji looked at the fourth madam who was weeping, with suspicion in his eyes.

So you were crying?The fourth lady raised her sleeve and wiped her face carelessly.

Chen Ji gradually realized that something was wrong. The wife sitting opposite was wearing a white dress and only a simple bead hairpin on her head. His wife always liked to dress gorgeously, even if it was homely clothes, or it was made of precious stones. The buttons, or the embroidered pattern of pinching gold and silver on the skirt, in short, it must show a little bit of a difference.It was the first time for Chen Ji to see his wife dressed in such a plain, even ominous way.

The fourth lady stroked her hair upon hearing this, she was a woman who pleases herself, she used to take care of herself very much, her black hair was black and shiny, but now there are silver threads on her temples.

"Look at me, I came out in a hurry, and I forgot to wear flowers." The fourth lady took out a velvet flower from her sleeve, five white petals, and the heart of the flower was made of pearls. Before the servants brought the mirror, she raised her arm, Don't put your hands on the sideburns.

Chen Ji's eyes sank, and a strong displeasure piled up on the brows and corners of his eyes, but because he was so good-looking, not only was he not intimidating, but he was handsome and charming like green cypresses and frost.

The fourth lady was slightly dazed, and then laughed at herself.She thought, what kind of eyes do people have to have in order to distinguish whether the person's skin is covered with evil spirits or not.

"What do you mean? You still hate me for marrying my daughter to Mr. Yamamoto?" Chen Ji asked displeased.

grudge?She doesn't hold grudges!Presumably Kazuo Yamamoto has become a dead ghost now, she doesn't need to grudge an irrelevant dead person!
"I still have something to do, don't make trouble anymore!" After Chen Ji finished speaking, he was about to shake his sleeves and leave.When Kazuo Yamamoto died, all his plans were disrupted, and now there are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, he doesn't want to waste his words with his wife anymore.
