Laughing at Chang'an

Li Shen shook the water drops, then stood up from the pool with Gao Yi's hand.

After tossing around, he calmed down a bit, at least he didn't have the desire to punch Gao Yi's face.The entire area around the front door of the Blood Slaughter Guild Hall was beaten to pieces, which can be regarded as an unwarranted disaster.Li Shen finally remembered his purpose of coming here, and asked Gao Yi: "Is old man Hei there? I have something to do with him."

"The old man must be there. If you don't know, he is watching us from somewhere." Gao Yi cast a pointed glance at the tower in the distance, and he retracted his gaze and muttered, "I'll find someone to inform you."

Li Shen nodded and thanked him.

The two stood side by side in front of the pool and talked, which was a rare sight in the eyes of others.Gengjun Li Shen, Xuetu Gaoyi, half-step altar and half-step altar, two people who are enemies and not friends stand together and talk peacefully, and this may be the only time.

"I have a question I've always wanted to ask you." Gao Yi looked at the mirror-clear water in front of him, and said in a low voice, "On Yumen Road, you obviously have a chance to kill me, why did you hold back?"

Li Shen lowered his head and smiled.

"You think too much, the price of killing you is too high, I still have things to do, I just don't want to be killed by you."

"It's that simple?" Gao Yi asked.

"Ah."

Of course it's more than that, but some things don't need to be said.Li Shen unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, and rolled up the wet sleeves to his elbows. He took off the black gauntlet on his right hand, pushed it up, and buckled it on the ring above the elbow. The sharp claw blades were quietly hidden back into the armor. Inside, it was wrapped around his arm like an armband.Li Shen was wearing only this gauntlet all over his body. Compared with Gao Yi who was next to him who was armed almost to the neck, it was quite free and easy.

24 hours without leaving the body is the mercenary's survival criterion, and it is also a truth that has been verified through countless practices.People like Li Shen belong to the type who live impatiently and want to die.Looking at his appearance in the first year of high school, I wanted to mention a few words, but then I thought it was wrong, they are not good friends, maybe we will see each other on the battlefield next time, why is he reminding each other when he is full?

The first year of high school was a little tangled, and then he felt awkward standing with Li Shen, and was about to find a reason to leave, when he heard an uncontrollable exclamation behind him.He turned around, only to see a petite figure galloping towards him, the gorgeous black and red skirt was tightly lifted by two small hands, fluttering behind him like a butterfly.

A sweet scent of roses wafted into his nostrils, and a beautiful figure with a fragrant wind ran past him, opened his arms and threw himself into Li Shen's arms.

"Ashin!"

Hearing the sound, Li Shen turned around and stretched out his arms instinctively to catch it. In the next second, his hands sank, his eyes went dark, and his two volleyball-sized breasts hit his face with a thud, blocking his eyes, nostrils and mouth in a brutal way. .He struggled to poke his head out of the cleavage to catch his breath, smiled weakly at the childlike beauty who was riding on him and looked at him with surprise on his face, and opened his mouth.

"……Baby."

The baby's name is Yang Baobao, the daughter of the former blood slaughter king, the current sister of the blood slaughter king, and the little princess of the entire blood slaughter mercenary group.When Li Shen met her for the first time, she was squatting at the base of the city wall wiping tears alone. At that time, he also just came to Chang'an City, and he was very innocent and kind. Seeing how pitiful this little girl was, he bought it for her. Two meat buns, by the way, she was only eight years old that year.

She told Li Shen that her father had just died, and Li Shen said it's okay, brother loves you.At that time, she wore a dirty little white dress all day long, and she looked like a little beggar. Li Shen softened his heart and took her back to the small house he rented, and bought her clothes for her to eat. She drank, and told her a little bedtime story when she was fine.But Li Shen swears to God that he never thought anything wrong with her at that time, and even if he promised to marry her as his wife in a joke, it was definitely a joke.

Later, when Hades came to take her away, Li Shen was stunned. He raised her like his own daughter for more than a year. One big and one small depended on each other in this city. It must be a lie to say that he has no feelings. .Seeing the dirty little child turn around and turn into a delicate and lovely little princess, the sense of disillusionment is really unfounded. When we met later, it was at her wedding with Zhu Xingyun. She was wearing a golden crown and a feather coat With a beauty belt around it, Li Shen didn't recognize that it was the little gray monkey who was clamoring to marry him.

The topic was far away, and Li Shen suddenly realized that this girl was already a big girl after being hit by her chest...

"A-shen, oh-shen, oh-shen, oh-shen..." She slurred Li Shen's name, and squeezed his head into the pair of murder weapons, her voice full of grievances, "You Don't come and see me."

Li Shenzhen was a little embarrassed, and Gao Yi's piercing gaze pierced his heart, "Baby." He held the person's shoulder and pulled his face out, taking a deep breath, "Listen to me, baby, you come down first."

Yang Baobao pursed his lips, reluctantly got off him, grabbed the hem of his clothes and lowered his head without speaking, causing him a little awkwardness on the spot.The gaze cast by Gao Yi next to her was as sharp as a blade, Li Shen resisted it abruptly, and calmly patted her head.

"Hey, don't make trouble, can I buy you meat buns?"

A happy face immediately appeared on that immature face, and before Li Shen could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard her muttering in a low voice: "Two every day, you still owe me six thousand one hundred and twenty-eight buns... "

Li Shen's heart softened, he squatted down, and opened his mouth to say something, but he had nothing to say.She stretched out her hand and touched his face, as if she had seen her favorite thing in the world, she showed a pure and brilliant smile of joy.

"Li Shen! Let go of the baby!"

Xue Tu 73, who came belatedly, appeared angrily, with a knife in his hand.Li Shen was about to laugh and spit out some trash talk at him, when the baby turned his head, and said unceremoniously to Xuetu 73: "Brother, don't be so cruel to Ah Shen." Then she put on a straight face, a little majestic He rushed around and ordered: "It's all gone, I'll take care of things here."

Xuetu 73 jumped: "Don't be self-willed, tell this bastard to get out! And you, who hung up on me just now?"

No one answered his words, including Gao Yi, they all retreated quietly according to the baby's instructions.Soon there were only the three of them left in the huge courtyard. The baby pulled Li Shen's sleeves, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Let's ignore him and go somewhere else, okay?"

Li Shen laughed.

So Xuetu 73 just watched Li Shen pick up the baby, ran a few quick steps and jumped onto the eaves beside him, and then disappeared after a few ups and downs on the edge of the wall and the roof.

………………

"Shen, I can make hedgehog steamed buns, and I can also peel rabbit apples..."

"I've done a lot, and you don't come to see me..."

Li Shen touched the baby's head with his backhand, and walked through the twists and turns of the corridor with her on his back. He vaguely remembered that many years ago, he carried her on his back like this, from Zhuque Avenue to Qinglong Avenue, from Qinglong Avenue to Qinglong Avenue. White Tiger Avenue, cut from White Tiger Avenue to Xuanwu Avenue...

The two found a gazebo by the Yuanyang Lake, the northernmost part of the Xuetu Guild Hall, and stopped to rest.It is said that Xuetu Qi dug this mandarin duck lake for Li Qingyin by himself. The shocking love between them has been fabricated countless versions by later generations.Li Shen sat on the stone chair, took off his soaked shirt, and wrung it dry with his hands. Baobao walked up behind him and took out a handkerchief to help him wipe his head.

"Ah Shen, are you unhappy?" Bao Bao asked behind him, his voice was a little timid, "Did brother and the others do something again?"

Li Shen was taken aback for a moment, smiled and shook his head, saying no.

"When you're lying, you don't look good when you smile." She said softly, "I know best."

Hearing this, Li Shen stopped laughing.

The baby wrapped his hands around his neck, hugged him up from behind, rested his chin on his shoulder, and closed his eyes quietly just like when he was a child.Whenever Li Shen encounters something unhappy and returns home, no matter how much she pretends to be, she will always see it, and then quietly hug him like this now, and spend time with him.

Even a strong heart will get tired sometimes.There are too many things in Li Shen's heart, it is impossible for him to confide in anyone, and he does not yearn for anyone's comfort or understanding.But if someone can accompany him like this without asking or talking, he will also feel better.

Several flying geese flapped their wings and landed on the edge of Yuanyang Lake to drink water.Li Shen woke up suddenly, raised his hand and patted the baby's arm around his neck, motioning for the baby to let go.

"I have something to ask Hades, you take me to see him." He said to the baby.

"Oh." The baby puffed up his face unhappily, "I knew you didn't come to see me specially... Master Hei and they didn't let me go out, I haven't seen you for a long, long, long time..."

She used "long time" several times in a row, referring to the two years since Li Shen left Chang'an.The reason here is very complicated, and Li Shen didn't know how to explain it, so he could only pat her on the head and promise: "It won't happen in the future, I will definitely come to see you often."

"Really?" Bao Bao put his arms around Li Shen's neck, pressed it to his ear and forced him to swear, "Don't lie to me, you have lied to me many times."

"Yes, yes, I swear..." Li Shen stopped speaking as soon as he raised his head.

Not far away, the old man still wearing blue and white checked pajamas was looking at him with a smile.

The smile on Li Shen's face gradually faded, if he were to make a list of the most hated people in Chang'an City, Hades would definitely be at the top.This old fox is best at calculating people's hearts. Every word he says is turning people into the gutter. Li Shen has taught him a lesson.If possible, Li Shen really didn't want to come to see him.

The baby reluctantly let go.

Watching her disappear into the corner of the corridor, Li Shen turned his gaze back to the old man who was walking slowly.

He stood up.

He bowed his hands upright and saluted.

"Hei Ye, long time no see."
