Laughing at Chang'an

At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, Xue Bailang lay on the experimental table, opened his eyes, and saw Li Shen.

"morning."

Li Shen greeted him, then picked him up and threw him on his shoulder, and walked out.Take the elevator to the first floor, leave Gengjun Guild Hall, and drive straight out of the city.

Xue Bailang knew that Li Shen was going to send him back to Donggong, and he also knew what was waiting for him after returning.He leaned back quietly on the chair, turned his head sideways to gaze at the rapidly passing scenery of Chang'an outside the car window, this may be the last time he saw these familiar streets, and it was also the last time under the sunlight.

He didn't want to repent for what he had done, nor would he lament his life... For him, everything was over.

Li Shen's Flyer Seven series drove out of the south gate in silence, and headed south along the wide airport road.Donggong's guild hall is the only special case that was not built in the city. It occupies a huge area in the southern suburbs of Chang'an. The sign at the door is Donggong Research Institute, which contains more than [-] large research institutes and hundreds of small research laboratories. And eight ultra-large-scale production plants.The total value of civilian and military equipment flowing out of here every year exceeds ten trillion Tang coins, which can be described as an out-and-out gold-making base.

To the northwest of Donggong Research Institute is the only military airship landing and landing field in Chang'an City, commonly known as Yanpoyuan.The sky over Chang'an City is a no-fly area, and the military airships of all mercenary regiments in the city take off, land and dock here.This is also the famous Shura field. The mercenaries who just came back from fighting outside due to opposing missions may run into each other as soon as they got off the airship, so it is quite normal to roll up their sleeves and do another fight.

Li Shen parked the car outside Yan Poyuan, carried Xue Bailang on his shoulders and walked in, passing two groups of people who were fighting all the way, and safely arrived in front of a small airboat at the corner of the landing field.A white-haired young man was sitting on the steps of the landing gear beside the boat. He was eating half a white flour steamed bun with his head down.

"Just you? Where are the others?" Li Shen asked, putting down Xue Bailang from his shoulders.

The young man reached out to support Xue Bailang, and smiled shyly: "I let them have breakfast."

"Then you can go too." Li Shen rubbed his white hair, with a slightly doting expression on his face, "Stop chewing on the steamed buns, I'll watch here... eat slowly, don't rush."

A blush visible to the naked eye appeared on the young man's slightly pale cheeks, he bowed his head in response, and hurriedly turned and left.Seeing this reaction in the eyes of Xue Bailang who was on the side, he couldn't help but secretly said something wrong in his heart.

Li Shen propped up his legs and sat on the steps where the young man had just sat, staring at the various airships constantly taking off and landing in the distance.There are about a thousand registered mercenary regiments in Chang'an City, and this does not include the wild regiments who came from other places to snatch food. As the headquarters of the All Land Mercenary Guild, there are countless mercenary regiments gathered in Chang'an. There are also hundreds of thousands. I am afraid that even Li Sanduo, the mercenary king who built this city, could not have expected such a grand occasion.

The heroes of the world are all in Chang'an.

"Where are you going to take me?" Xue Bailang leaned on the iron rail of the landing gear and asked.

"Dongjiding, I have some friendship with the cliff guards there." Li Shen replied without raising his head, with some emotion in his voice, but more relieved, "He's just a crazy person who is tired of life and wants to die. I have a common language with you, and the living conditions are relatively difficult, but I don’t think you care. The East Pole Cliff is so long, you can just find a place to sit down, wait for death, and help block the collapse... If you have time , dig the grave ahead of time, and the cliff guard will collect the corpse for you."

Xue Bailang frowned slightly, then gradually relaxed, he looked down at Li Shen, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Dong Gong will trouble you if you send me away?"

"Are there still fewer troubles for me?" Li Shen smiled indifferently, "One more you is not too much, one less you is not much, go with peace of mind."

In fact, Xue Bailang still didn't ask a question, why did Li Shen help him? He felt that there was no need to ask this question.What is going on in Li Shen's mind, I'm afraid only he himself knows, he keeps saying that others are crazy, but he himself is the crazy in the eyes of others.

But because of this, he is Li Shen, not anyone else.

The whole world knows that Li Shen, the Gengjun in Chang'an, is a hero in the world, and no one can match him.Such a person should be a dragon soaring in the clouds, not bound by common sense in the world, not interfered by other people's opinions, free to do whatever he wants.

But Li Shen was neither free nor happy, Xue Bailang could tell.

"I won't say thank you to you." He narrowed his eyes and joked, "It's all thanks to you that I'm where I am today... Dongjiding is very good, Li Shen, if you get tired of life one day, remember Go find me, and I will dig your grave together."

Li Shen sneered: "Dream, I don't want to be buried with you."

A few rays of warm sunlight fell from the sky, Li Shen raised his head, and exchanged a glance with Xue Bailang.In silence, they looked at each other and smiled.

——The past grievances are wiped out with a smile.

………………

After sending Xue Bailang away, Li Shen thought as he walked out: Should he report to the guild hall, or go home and continue to sleep?Just as he was thinking about it, the communicator in his pocket rang.

It's handsome.

"Where are you?" Geng Yan asked straight to the point.

Li Shen glanced left and right, and said that I was having breakfast and would go to the guild hall right away.

"You come to see me right now." Geng Yan's voice was serious, and he dropped a bomb on Li Shen.

"Yu is old and dead."

Twelve minutes later, Li Shen slammed the car door shut and hurried into the hall building.His mind was full of impossibilities, but it was also very clear that it was impossible for Geng Yan to joke about it with him.

On the top floor, he entered Geng Yan's office without knocking on the door. When he looked up, he found that both Gong Yun and Lin Guo were there, and subconsciously swallowed the question on his lips.

Geng Yan was sitting behind his desk, reading the autopsy report in his hand. Yu Feng died at his home in the middle of the night, and his throat was crushed in his sleep. The method of death was simple and rude.The old doctor spent his life hanging the pot to help the world, with a holy hand and a benevolent heart, but he failed to end well.The Geng Army must investigate this matter to the end, so that the old man can rest in peace after his death.

And this thing is full of weirdness.First of all, who did the old man offend?To be killed like this?Secondly, he lived in the inner residential area of ​​the Geng Army, where there was strict defense 24 hours a day, and who would have the ability to sneak into his home without anyone noticing and commit murder?

Geng Yan put down the report, raised his head, and looked at Li Shen standing in front of him.

"Old Yu was killed last night, and the murderer doesn't know who it is." He explained the situation to the other party in a few simple sentences, and then asked directly, "It is reported that you met with Old Yu yesterday, and the two of them were alone for a while , what did you talk about?"

Li Shen stood there in a daze. After a while, he parted his lips and said in a low voice, "He checked my body for me...he didn't talk about anything else."

The people in this office at this time are all the earliest veterans of the Geng Army. Needless to say, Geng Yan and Gong Yun, Li Shen and Lin Guo are also members of the Geng Army, and they definitely know each other well. very deep.What's more, apart from Li Shen, everyone here is a human being -- not derogatory, specifically referring to the elite of the people.

So, whether Li Shen was telling the truth or a lie, they could tell as soon as they heard it.

Geng Yan frowned silently, and Gong Yun, who was sitting on the sofa beside him, also had a strange look on his face, and beside Gong Yun, Lin Guo, the chief military officer of the Geng Army, pushed his glasses and laughed unabashedly. On the pale face that was always tired, it was full of sarcasm.

"Before you lie, you'd better make a draft. The report said that you and Yu Feng were alone for nearly an hour, and you didn't talk about anything during this hour? Well, let's be like this, then why, after you left, Yu Feng, He looked sad and anxious, and he didn't even hear anyone talking to him, and repeatedly paced back and forth in the corridor alone?"

Li Shen didn't answer, and couldn't answer.

After the shock at the beginning, there were only more reasons that came to his mind, and besides that, there was almost no top of anger.No matter who killed Yu Feng for whatever reason, it was not a reason.

Unforgivable.

At the moment when he was determined to kill, Li Shen became extremely calm.He turned around, glanced calmly at Lin Guo who was sitting on the sofa, then turned his head and looked at Geng Yan.

"What are you suspecting?" He asked calmly, "Suspecting that I killed Mr. Yu?"

It sounds like a joke.

It is indeed a joke.

"It's not my job to use your brains, it's yours. You can doubt anyone, make a list for me... If you have to list me, then put me at the end."

While speaking, Li Shen walked towards the door, held the doorknob with one hand, turned his head and said, "I'm waiting for the result outside the door."

The door was slammed shut.

Geng Yan lowered his head, stretched out his hand to hold his eyebrows, there was silence in the room, after a long while, Gong Yun took a sip of tea from his teacup, and said to Lin Guo who was sitting beside him: "Ah Guo, you know that Xiao Shen is angry, but you still provoke me What does he do?"

Lin Guo replied indifferently: "I'm just telling the truth."

"One Wang Zhen, and then Yu Feng." Geng Yan put down his hand, and expressed his inference, "It seems that Li Shen is being targeted by the other party...I want him to leave Chang'an temporarily."

"I don't agree." Lin Guo continued, "The other party's purpose is not yet clear. Li Shen is a very important clue. We just use him to test the other party's details. If we let him leave Chang'an, it will be difficult to judge the other party. How to act next may also cause greater losses."

He pushed his eyes, a hint of excitement appeared on his pale face.

"Actually, what Li Shen said just now is correct. We not only need to make a list, but also find ways to expand this matter, and put all those who have been restless in the past two years on the list."

"Since the opportunity is here, it's time to let this mad dog, Li Shen, out to bite people."
