Laughing at Chang'an

"Let Li Shen go to the South China Sea?"

Geng Liancheng was severely injured, which was very disturbing.Li Shen blatantly made a move in the guild hall, and the mood of the people below was a bit wrong.Regardless of whether he was originally on Geng Liancheng's side or not, no one could make sense of such a thing as taking action against his own people.

In the office, Geng Yan told Lin Guo of his decision, but the latter disagreed.

"Now is the time to employ people. Geng Liancheng is injured, so Li Shencai can't leave. He must take over what Geng Liancheng is doing. We also need such a deterrent to stand on stage..."

"Needless to say." Geng Yan interrupted him, "I've already decided on this matter."

Lin Guo closed his mouth, his eyes behind the lens were dark and hard to see, he watched Geng Yan quietly for a moment, and got up to leave.

He returned to the chief of staff's office on the 35th floor, closed the door, took off his glasses in the dark room, and tiredly kneaded the point above the bridge of his nose near the center of his eyebrows.

——The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building.

Lin Guo picked up the internal phone directly to the intelligence department and ordered.

"Keep an eye on Yang Martian, I want to know what he's doing every minute."

………………

"I originally wanted to investigate Wang Zhen, but unexpectedly found such an interesting thing."

On the tower of the Blood Slaughter Guild Hall, Hades in blue and white checked pajamas was biting a cookie, and signaled the big-breasted maid behind him who was pressing his shoulders to leave with his eyes.Opposite him, a young man with a simple and honest face was concentrating on playing with a set of building blocks. The blocks of different colors were stacked in a straight line in a twisted posture, which looked precarious and might collapse at any time.

"You tell me now that Li Shen is actually your own son, and I won't be surprised." He carefully put the building blocks in his hand on the top of the building block while speaking, his expression was quite indifferent, very A bit detached, "This is obviously to make us pay attention to Yang Huxing on purpose. To be honest, it feels like being played in the palm of my hand, which is very uncomfortable."

Hades suddenly laughed.

"You are still too young." He said with a smile, "When you live to my age, you will be able to experience the fun of being calculated, especially when you see him being fed a mouthful of Xiang after failing to calculate, that kind of The feeling is the ultimate pleasure.”

"Forget it, I don't want this kind of bad taste." The young man smiled wryly and shook his head, "Rather than being tricked by others, I would like to live a peaceful life... although it's not possible."

Before the words were finished, the originally tall building block tower collapsed, and scattered building blocks fell down, making clanking noises in the metal tray.The young man was unable to be rescued in time, so he maintained the gesture of stretching out his hands, with a look of regret on his face.

"Pity."

Hades picked up the black tea and drank it, his old face was slightly moved, and his lower eyelids were slightly closed.

"Rarely an interesting character."

In Li Tieyi's study in Xiaoyu Building, in the Huiguang Clubhouse just across the street, someone also put down the materials and sighed aloud.

It is none other than Huiguang, Li Tieyi himself.

He asked the old housekeeper who had been with him since he was a child: "Ah Qing, how many years have you been with me?"

"Back to the old man, it's been 48 years and three months."

Li Tieyi nodded, remained silent for a while, and said, "There is something I want you to do."

The butler, who was also full of silver frost, raised his head and quietly looked at his master who had served him all his life.

"Besides you, there is no one I can trust." Dangtang Huiguang said such words in a natural tone, with a hesitant and complicated expression.

"After you've done this...you don't have to come back."

………………

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, the adjutant was wearing pajamas and carrying a windbreaker, and carefully woke Li Shen up from his sleep.

"Master, the handsome man is outside the door, he wants to see you..."

Li Shen lay there with his eyes open and didn't respond. Just when the adjutant thought he was awake and wanted to scream again, he suddenly sat up, grabbed the windbreaker from the adjutant's hand, and walked out.

At the door, there was a car parked outside. Geng Yan stood beside the car, holding a cigarette in his hand. When he saw Li Shen, he beckoned him to get in the car.

There was a smell of smoke in the car.

Li Shen sat in the passenger seat, opened the window, and the door next to him opened and closed. Geng Yan also sat in, started the car silently, and turned the steering wheel to drive out of Cooper Road.

Li Shen leaned his head against the window sill, quietly watching the night view of Chang'an City outside.

"Sleepy?" Geng Yan asked.

Li Shen didn't know where people were going to take him, so he nodded and hummed.

"Sleep if you're sleepy, I'll call you when you arrive."

It seemed that he was going to a far away place, so Li Shen lowered the seat, leaned on it with his hands clasped, and squinted his eyes in a daze.Faint smoke hovered in the car, and Geng Yan turned on the stereo to sing, a very soothing piano piece, the notes dripping down like light rain, urging people to fall asleep.

The car quickly drove up the elevated road, made a circle around the tallest Vientiane Tower in Chang'an City, and then slid down suddenly.The speed of the car quietly increased to two hundred yards. Geng Yan turned his head to look at Li Shen, and found that he had fallen asleep with his head tilted, so he reached out to turn off the music.

He drove the car quietly, his face flickering with the passing lights, and when he passed the checkpoint outside the city, he took off his coat and covered Li Shen.

That face was still frowning in deep sleep, as if there was an unresolved melancholy in his heart. In the past ten years, Geng Yan looked at each other day by day, from that arrogant young man who would laugh wantonly without heart, to now In this mature man with gloomy features, the once fiery light in his eyes gradually disappeared, leaving only the depression and exhaustion like a bottomless abyss.

It became more and more like the figure in his long memory.

The original intention had long since changed, and by the time I realized it, it was already too late.

Driving up the Baishan Mountain and arriving at the other courtyard on the top of the mountain, Geng Yan parked the car beside the viewing platform at the corner of the cliff, silently lowered the seat, folded his arms and quietly watched Li Shen's sleeping face.

——Looking at it like this for a lifetime, it seems not bad.

He raised the corners of his lips mockingly.

Li Shen's head moved, then slowly opened his eyes, he sat up slowly, and asked Geng Yan: "Are you there?"

It was pitch black outside, and even the lights could not be seen. It took a while for Li Shen's sight to adapt to the darkness, and he was able to see clearly the scene outside the car under the hazy moonlight.He looked at the empty cliff top in confusion, turned his head, and looked at Geng Yan.

"White Mountain?"

"Correct."

Li Shen is no stranger here. When Geng Yan bought this other courtyard, his original intention was to live together with the two of them and set up a place to stay in Chang'an City.However, it didn't take long for Li Shen to decide to marry Haitang, and bought the courtyard on Gubai Road. Geng Yan didn't have time to come back to live in it on weekdays, so this Baishan courtyard was vacant.

Li Shen couldn't figure out why the NPC brought him here in the middle of the night, and didn't bother to guess.The incident during the day made him feel a little unhappy now, not because of Geng Yan's kick, how can I put it... After returning, all the things seem to be pressed together, especially Geng Yan made Geng Liancheng Things came to scare him, but he couldn't bear it anymore.

"I went to talk to Huang Sha in the afternoon." Geng Yan said, "The ruins in the Northland, next time our two families will explore together, each will contribute half of the manpower, and the harvest will be divided into half."

Li Shen was a little surprised.

"What's in the ruins? Such a big battle?" He asked.

"I don't know yet." Geng Yan raised his hand to press his neck, squeezed it hard, and his voice was a little tired, "Da Mo suffered a heavy loss this time, and the two dedicated ruins exploration teams were almost wiped out. Of the above, only three were lost, and two were seriously injured, including Feng He, the second head of the family... During this critical period, it is a great help, and the Geng Army also needs such a reliable ally at critical times."

Li Shen's expression was a bit subtle. The relationship between Geng Jun and Da Mo has always been relatively close. On the one hand, the two companies have different positions and do not compete much with each other. On the other hand, they have a good relationship with their minds.

At this time, Geng Yan chose to help Da Mo, which has to be said to be a wise decision. It not only eliminated the unpleasant incident that had just happened in Yan Poyuan between the two families, but also helped Da Mo's current leadership consolidate its position in a disguised form, and provided support for the two families. Friendly relations can continue to lay the foundation.At least as far as Li Shen is concerned, there is no need to worry about Fenghe being held accountable.

He sneaked a glance at Geng Yan, seeing that there was no special expression on the other side, he was a little hesitant, but said thank you in a low voice.

Hearing his thank you, Geng Yan frowned instead.

"I've thought about what happened during the day. It seems that we haven't had a good conversation for a long time."

Geng Yan turned sideways, looked at Li Shen without blinking, stretched out his hand, touched the center of the other's brow, and smoothed out the crease there that he didn't even notice with his fingertips.

Li Shen's eyes, like two deep and quiet gems, shimmered in the darkness.

"Do you not understand, why should I protect Geng Liancheng?"

Li Shen didn't know what to say with such a straightforward approach.Geng Yan withdrew his hand, knocked down the car window beside him, turned his head and lit a cigarette.The night wind mixed with the smell of smoke broke into the carriage, it was a bit cold, Li Shen sat up, only then realized the coat that was covering him, and pulled it up.

"I trained Geng Liancheng to take over your seat." Geng Yan said, turning his gaze to the dark night outside the car window, "Your current seat looks beautiful, but you know how dangerous it is, and it's too taboo Hate... I hope you can retreat slowly, like Ah Yun, and turn to a safe place in the back, instead of fighting on the front line."

"Geng Liancheng is the scapegoat I prepared for you."

"I have already decided on this matter." Geng Yan turned his head and looked at Li Shen, "Even if you resent me for this, I will not change my mind."

Li Shen sat there with his head down, unable to see his expression clearly.

Geng Yan put a cigarette in his left hand on the window sill, pressed the back of the chair with his right hand, leaned to the side, put his head next to Li Shen's ear, and whispered in an inaudible voice——

"Whether it's the summit of Chang'an or the bottomless abyss, you have to go with me."
