Refinement

In the early morning, the refreshing wind blew through the small courtyard. Su Yulian sat alone in the shade of a tree pounding medicine, skillfully fiddled with the stone mortar and pestle with his slender fingers, and bursts of medicine fragrance scattered out.The killer who was good at light work hid in the tree and observed carefully, but he couldn't see the ability of the weak medicine maker under the tree, so that the group of people who assassinated him never returned.

Liu Ying put a bowl of hot soup by Su Yulian's hand: "The master will come back around noon, and invite you to have lunch with me." The killer took the opportunity to throw the gunpowder into the bowl, and watched the movement of the man under the tree with breathless breath.

Su Yulian held up the edge of the bowl, and said slowly: "Madam is all right, I heard that she suddenly became seriously ill last night, and it is difficult to get out of bed this morning."

Liu Ying thought for a while and said, "Are you talking about Miss Yan'er? The master was worried that she would cause trouble at the funeral, so he found an excuse not to let her go out."

Su Yulian put down the bowl again: "Isn't someone trying to harm her?"

Liu Ying also stared at the soup in the bowl, the shadow of the man on the tree happened to be reflected in the soup, he said: "If someone wants to harm people in the master's place, I'm afraid it will be bad luck, and there will be no dead body."

"I remember that girl didn't die yesterday?"

Liu Ying: "He didn't die yesterday, but he is already on his way today."

The simple conversation with almost no lethality made the killer think of retreating, but before he could get away and run away, Liu Ying was already standing behind him without anyone noticing, with a strange palm blowing past him, the killer fled. He fell down a big tree and broke an arm.

"Who sent you here?"

"You shameless villain, who murdered my head in charge, naturally, it is not a pity to die. Our Murong clan, no matter who it is, will take it as our duty to kill you!"

Su Yulian nodded approvingly, and then he made a plan in his heart. He stretched out his hand and stuffed a pill into the killer's mouth, and said lightly: "You can still represent your Murong clan. I don't know if everyone in the Murong clan knows you. Liu film--"

"Yes."

"Have you found Li Chengmao?"

"He probably hasn't woken up yet. He drank a lot yesterday."

Su Yulian lowered his head and sniffed the herbs in his hands, looked at the killer with a broken arm with a smile on his face, and said, "I think this killer is thin and looks like me. The pill just now can make him weak and speechless. You ask Li Chengmao to help him change his face a little, feed him the herbal medicine I boiled, and then bathe him with the medicine residue, don't let him die by himself."

"Yes."

"In the past few days, if I meet a suitable person again, I will go through this process. If this knight-errant killer works hard, he can save his life."

Killer: "Woo——————————————"

Su Yulian seemed to have some sympathy for him, shaking his head and sighing: "The poor substitute has no chance to speak!"

Liu Ying told him to go on, and poured out the hot soup in Su Yulian's hand: "If you want something to drink, I'll ask someone to prepare it for you."

Su Yulian shook his head: "No need, I just saw that your movements were a little rusty, did you keep practicing as I said?"

Liu Ying was a little uncomfortable, but said: "Thanks to Master, Liu Ying has been reused by Master."

Su Yulian: "You people who live on the tip of a knife, do you really care about the life expectancy of those ten or 20 years? In my eyes, you will be very lucky if you can live to 40 or [-] years old. I will teach you It is true that things are not decent martial arts, and they are also harmful to your body, but you knew from the beginning, why——abandoned halfway?"

"Laugh at them—"

Su Yulian smiled: "I just can't bear to waste your talent, you don't have to answer me, it's your choice."

"Thank you very much."

Su Yulian stood up and said, looked up at the sky and said, "The substitute just now won't last long, I don't know how many people will come to kill me, think about it, it will be hard to survive in the future, so when Luo Xian comes back, you just need to know Just meet him and say that I don't want to drag him down, so let's leave now."

Liu Ying didn't answer, and followed him out, seeing Su Yulian looking back at him frequently, couldn't help explaining: "The master didn't restrict your freedom, but just sent me to protect your safety."

"He—" Su Yulian shook his head, "Forget it."

The two swaggered down the street without any trouble.Street vendors yelled and passed by them, Su Yulian's face was blocked by the gauze on his hat, and Liu Ying was vigilant about all the movements around him.A chubby little boy was eating candied haws, looking at Su Yulian curiously, as if wishing to see through the veil what the person inside looked like, Su Yulian laughed at his concentration, the chubby boy Also laughed, walked towards Su Yulian with the candied haws in his hand and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Su Yulian patted his head in a friendly manner, then turned into the alley and said casually: "Thank you, I am in a hurry to find someone."

The chubby boy turned into the alley and said, "Try it, it's delicious."

Su Yulian stopped and looked at him: "Aren't you afraid?"

The boy was puzzled, looking innocent and harmless, he raised the candied haws high with one hand, as if he wanted to hand it to Su Yulian's mouth.The other hand was holding the bamboo tube with the hidden weapon tightly, aiming at Su Yulian's vitals accurately, fluently as if he had done this movement thousands of times.In the next moment, Su Yulian was still smiling, the wind blew the black sand on his hat brim, the boy saw clearly the smiling face covered by the gauze, those beautiful eyes were full of pity, as if to say——

Is it bad to live?

The boy's hand lost strength, and he fell limply. He didn't even know how he died.Liu Ying was also taken aback: "This child—"

"Those who want to kill, whether they are children or not, should pay the price."

"I thought your martial arts were exhausted."

Su Yulian still smiled: "How can you venture into the rivers and lakes without the ability to protect yourself? It will be here soon. I will invite you to drink tea to calm the shock."

Liu Ying didn't ask him where he was going, and the two walked through two alleys to Ji Ao's medical clinic. There were not many people in the medical clinic, Ji Ao was packing up his things, and two apprentices were also putting away medicinal materials by category.

"Where are you going to escape, brother?"

Ji Ao stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Su Yulian and said, "I guess it's time for you to come to me."

Su Yulian took off the veil, and Liuying closed the door of the clinic.

Su Yulian: "It was you who saved my life in the first place, so there is nothing wrong with sending my life away now. But I call you senior brother, and I have lived and ate together with you for half a year. Thinking about it, I feel aggrieved. Would you like to explain a thing or two?"

The two apprentices backed away wisely. Ji Ao took out a small bottle from his body and brought it to Su Yulian. He seemed to be flattering, and said softly: "This thing can barely suppress the special smell on your body. You can take a bath Just a drop or two from time to time."

Su Yulian took the bottle, found a place to sit down and said, "Thank you."

"I saved you at the beginning because you were very similar to him. You are as smart, beautiful, and noble as you, but also as cruel, selfish, and paranoid. I even hope that you are him, and I can pull you back when you sink to the bottom. Give me a hand, let you—make him hate me so much. Unfortunately, he still refuses to see me, I think I can only see him after he dies."

"I don't know why he has to die, but I can never be a scapegoat!"

Ji Ao's eyes were fixed on Su Yulian, his eyes seemed guilty, distressed, and shy, he said: "That was Murong Miao's idea, I was thinking of taking you back to the southern country to avoid the limelight. If Liang Jiaren has to die, he can only die, and you can't replace him."

Su Yulian played with the bottle in his hand, seemed to be entangled in thinking, and said: "I can't trust you now, so naturally I won't go with you."

"Then you trust the people behind you?"

Su Yulian: "His name is Liuying."

Ji Ao nodded in greeting: "Hello." The apprentice offered three cups of tea and retreated silently.

Liu Ying cupped her hands and didn't speak.Su Yulian raised his hand: "My man, of course I believe it. I came here today to ask you something, but I have already answered it just now. You don't seem to care about Liang Jiaren's life or death very much. I don't say these things. I understand that only when the real Liang Jiaren dies can I be at ease and be myself again."

"If you have that ability, you don't need to ask me for instructions."

Su Yulian: "Brother, as long as you don't feel bad, I saw that Liang Jiaren has a 'twin lock' on her body, and it wasn't you who locked it, so I feel relieved."

"The twin locks you mentioned, but Su Zhi—"

"It was the pair made by my father. It was originally intended to lock my mother. You know the meaning of twins. The two who are locked must live and die together. If you want Liang Jiaren to disappear from now on, you must first Find out, who is the person who locked the twin lock with him, and will that person also have to disappear together."

Ji Ao's face changed, and his expression was a little strange: "Forgive me for a while, and I have done some useless efforts. The person who wants to hide the most can't hide it the most."

"Brother, do you know who is on the other end of the lock?"

Ji Ao: "I didn't expect him to be an infatuated person. The Xu family in Jicheng has a newcomer, Xu Chengxi, who has just made his mark in the arena. He got the Chengguang Sword before, and he is very carefree."

Ji Ao: "It's okay to talk to you about this matter. The beauty had no intention of provoking him many years ago, and he got entangled with him. Because of his relationship, the beauty is hiding everywhere, and it is difficult to have a safe place. So until now, we all I'm trying to find a way to make him stop thinking about it, and ask for a free body for the beautiful woman."

Ji Ao: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, we didn't expect him to lock the twin locks on himself and cause this oolong incident. If you have nowhere to go, I will send you back to the southern country, and I will definitely protect you .”

Hearing what he said, Su Yulian suddenly raised her head and asked, "Do you have Lady Liang in your heart?"

Ji Ao's expression was deep, and the shyness on his face seemed to be lingering. He said, "I will repay what I owe him with all my heart."

Su Yulian sighed, and said quietly: "That's right, you shouldn't care about him without you. Anything you do may make him misunderstand that you have affection in your heart, and you will only hurt him more because of it."

"I can't control what he thinks, but I know what to do to feel at ease."

Su Yulian curled her lips: "So you are also a selfish person, you only care for your own peace of mind, and don't care about other people's feelings."

Ji Ao: "Sorry."

"You have nothing to apologize to me. No matter what it is, I don't blame you. Although I don't know if what you said is true or not, I feel much more at ease. If you can explain it, at least you still treat me as a friend .I just killed a kid in the alley behind your house, you can handle it."

Su Yulian leaned over and signaled, "Farewell."

As soon as the two of them left the hospital, Su Yulian said, "Liu Ying, go to the yamen to report to the officials, and say that you saw with your own eyes that gentle doctor killed a child in the alley."

Liu Ying: "Master Fang from the capital has come. It is said that his official position is relatively high. Do you want him to come forward?"

"Lord Fang, is that Luo Xian's little lady's elder brother?"

"Exactly."

Su Yulian: "That's even better, it's best to make Ji Ao uncomfortable for a day or two."

"Then you—"

"I can protect myself."
