Laughing at Chang'an

The forest of steles is like a sea.

The endless tombstones spread straight to the sky, and most of the graves were covered with weeds. There were mercenaries buried here. They had nothing to worry about when they were alive, and they would not be cared about after death... Li Shen walked from the barren grave with a bucket Passing through between the monuments, the rising sun that had just emerged cast some warm sunlight, making the gloom between his brows even colder.

At one minute to seven, Li Shen walked to Yang Huxing's tombstone. He had come early enough, but someone was earlier than him.

The figure covered in a gray cloak leaned against the side of the tombstone with one hand resting on the knee of his left leg, his messy hair was wrapped twice around the top of his head with a gray cloth, and the beard on his face was full It's half a foot long, so it's so unrefined.Perhaps he heard the sound of footsteps, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his two bright eyes, like a falcon, were silently staring at Li Shen's face.

Li Shen frowned.

"Are you being arrested for mining?" He asked the other party, "How did you achieve such a virtue?"

Feng He, who was leaning on the tombstone, stood up, patted his buttocks, stretched his arms with his arms hanging on his head, and grinned at Li Shen with a lazy smile.

"I just came back from never returning to the sea." He explained to Li Shen, "I was so busy on my way that I didn't have time to clean up..." He paused, with a playful look on his face, he stood up straight and waved his hands at Li Shen. Yi Yi.

"Almost forgot, you have a different identity now, right? President Li?"

The one who answered him was a bucket, and Feng He pulled the bucket of clear water halfway back in the air. Holding the bucket, he glanced at Li Shen, only to see that the man was lowering his head and rolling up his sleeves.

"I'll pull the weeds, you wipe the stele." Li Shen lifted his feet and walked behind the stele, unceremoniously assigning tasks to Feng He. The latter put the bucket back on the ground, bent over and washed his face with the water in the bucket, and then He picked up the rag from the bottom of the bucket and started working in silence.

Before the sun really rose, Yang Huxing's grave was clean. Li Shen patted the dirt and returned to the tombstone, standing side by side with Feng He, looking at the polished writing on the monument, looking at it without blinking. for a long time.

... ten years.

"This kid has become the president of the guild." Feng He said suddenly, but he didn't say it to Li Shen. He pointed at Li Shen with a smile, and asked the tombstone. In Chang'an City, he must be tormenting him enough...Brother, I went to the sea of ​​no return and met the ghost king you mentioned. It is actually a 2000-meter-long sea snake. I squatted on it for three months. Copy it to its old nest, here."

Feng He took out a yellow bead the size of a fist from his bosom, the surface was foggy, dull and seemed to be soft.He squeezed the bead in his hand with indescribable movements, and heard it make a sound like a baby crying, Li Shen couldn't help frowning.

"I don't know what this thing is. I asked no one but no one has seen it. I named it Haiying Bead." Feng He pasted the bead on the tombstone, paused quietly, and then took it away. When he came back, he continued, "Brother, if you can hear me, come to this bead."

"I have a hunch that one day, it will come back to life."

Feng He stared at the bead in his hand, his eyes were filled with countless indescribable emotions, and his voice was heard far away in the silent tomb.

"Even if we can't meet each other again, I will leave all the treasures in this world to you."

………………

After leaving the tomb, Feng He wanted to say goodbye to Li Shen.

"Are you up to it?" Li Shen pulled him back, "Hurry up to hang yourself, don't you even have the time to have a meal with me?"

With a helpless expression on his face, Feng He spread his hands and said, "Didn't I promise someone to go back and pick her up..."

Li Shen chuckled, and said two words coldly: "Scum."

However, such a little bit of verbal harm can't penetrate Feng He's long-tempered copper skin, he smiled indifferently, and said casually, "I heard that you live with Geng Yan?"

Li Shen nodded and hummed.

Feng He frowned.

"That's fine." He took a breath, patted Li Shen on the shoulder, and walked towards his tattered off-road vehicle parked not far away, without turning his head and waving his hands, "Take care of yourself, and if you meet someone For uncertain things, remember to come to me... give Geng Yan a word for me, just say that my stupid brother will trouble him."

Li Shen laughed and scolded you to get the hell out of here.

Watching the dirty and broken off-road vehicle drive out of sight, the smile on Li Shen's face disappeared silently. He opened the door and was about to get in the car, but suddenly stopped in place, turned his head and looked west.

A gray thinker with a low-key and restrained appearance is speeding down the road.

The car stopped on the side of the road not far away, and Wang Zhen, wearing a wide-brimmed top hat, got out of the car, raised his hand to take off his hat, and walked in front of Li Shen.

He called Lord Shen.

Now that their identities are different than before, it is naturally inappropriate for Wang Zhen to call them that, but neither Li Shen nor himself cares about them.He looked at Li Shen and asked in surprise, "You're already going back?"

"Well, where is Rong Hu? Didn't come with you?"

"I encountered a little trouble on the way." Wang Zhen's tone was very flat, as if it was really just a little trouble, "He told me to come here first, and I should be there in a while."

"Tell me if you have any difficulties." Li Shen looked at him, and his eyes stopped at the other party's blood-stained trousers. The latter followed his gaze and found his omission, and smiled helplessly.

"I'm still a member of the old royal family. They knew that I left Guangming Palace, so they sent people to ambush me on the road to make a suicide attack." Wang Zhen explained simply, "I had prepared in advance, and I have already solved it. Rong Hu wanted to force out those old people. The hiding place of the royal family, that's why I was asked to come here first."

Li Shen nodded and said, "That's fine, you go in, I'm leaving."

"Master Shen." Wang Zhen called to stop Li Shen, with a hesitant look on his face. Li Shen held the car door and waited for him to speak. After waiting a little impatiently, someone asked in a low voice: "I heard that you and Geng Yan Together?"

Li Shen raised his eyebrows, a little amused, and said, "Why do you both care so much about this? Yes, that's right, I'm with Geng Yan."

Wang Zhen hesitated to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Li Shen said angrily, "Bless me and listen, and the rest will be spared."

Wang Zhen's eyes widened slightly. Li Shen waited for him for nearly a minute, but no one spoke, so he shook his head and sat in the car, stretching out his hand to close the door.He reversed the car and turned around, and was about to speed up when he saw Wang Zhen chasing up from behind and hurried out of the car window.

Li Shen stepped on the brakes, closed the car window, and looked at people with a piercing expression.

"Master Shen, Master's death was..."

Wang Zhen's voice stopped abruptly, and he watched Li Shen gesture to him to shut up, close the window of the car, and drive away.He stood there blankly for a moment, with extremely complicated expressions on his face, ranging from shock to disbelief, but more, he breathed a sigh of relief, relieved.

………………

Chang'an South City, No. [-] Desheng Road.

After the original Geng Army Guild Hall building was destroyed, Geng Yan built a new building on the original site. The exterior has hardly changed, but the interior has changed a lot, but his office is still on the 69th floor, the whole floor.

Li Shen took the elevator and went straight to the 69th floor.

When he walked to the door, he remembered that Geng Yan said that he was going to Penglai today, and he probably hadn’t come back yet. He threw himself on the wrong place... Just as he was a little annoyed, he heard voices talking inside. He stood outside the door and listened. Reach out and twist open the door.

Geng Yan behind the desk and Geng Liancheng standing in front of the desk looked at him together.

Up to now, Geng Liancheng still has no good looks towards Li Shen. Although there is nothing between them that can be used to trigger conflicts, Geng Liancheng is too overestimating his face to curry favor with Li Shen.Li Shen didn't have so many complicated thoughts towards him, it was just that he looked uncomfortable, but at any rate, he would never leave the Geng Army, so he couldn't go too far. Nodding his head as a greeting.

Geng Yan asked Geng Liancheng to back down, Li Shen stood behind the desk, and when someone left the office, he stretched out his hand to support the desk, turned to the other side, blocked Geng Yan on the chair, leaned over and kissed him.

He raised Geng Yan's chin silently, biting the other's lips almost brutally, the bitter taste of blood spread silently between the two's lips and teeth... Li Shen closed his eyes, not wanting to see Geng Yan's expression, nor for the other party to see something in your own eyes.

A hand pressed down on the back of his neck and pulled him away abruptly.

Li Shen opened his eyes.

Geng Yan frowned, looked at Li Shen silently, blood slowly gushed out from the gashed wound on his lips, he looked at the pair of pitch-black pupils close in front of him, and saw the darkness inside. Fire-like, suppressed and ferocious anger.

He was a little dazed and smiled.

Geng Yan let go of the fingers clasped behind Li Shen's neck.

In the next second, Li Shen dragged him up from the chair and threw him face up on the large desk.The stacked documents were knocked into the air, and fell out of the table like feathers. Li Shen buried his head in his messy blond hair and bit Geng Yan's neck.

The sharp sound of cloth being torn was very clear in the silent office.

Geng Yan frowned in pain.

He squinted at Li Shen who was lying on his body.

As if sensing his gaze, Li Shen raised his head, looked at Geng Yan expressionlessly, then leaned over and gave him a bloody and ferocious kiss.

Geng Yan raised his head and opened his mouth obediently. He raised his arms around Li Shen's neck, gently stroking the black hair hanging down his back with his fingertips.However, this small action of his did not escape Li Shen's perception. Li Shen straightened his upper body, broke off Geng Yan's hands from behind, put them together, grabbed his wrists, and pressed hard to the top of the opponent's head.

He lifted Geng Yan's leg.

In the office, a hoarse moan sounded.
