ten steps one kill

Thinking for a while, I just saw the corners of the mouth of the opposite person curled up, showing a hint of a smile, and a sly light flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Qiancheng does have the capital of self-confidence.

He has long been familiar with the equipment in the gambling table. Although there are a lot of people in the gambling shop, there are only a handful of gamblers who are able to climb to the third floor, and those who have the courage to bet their lives with him are even rarer. The long-term workers in the shop Everyone is afraid of him, and few people are willing to talk to him, but they call him the "King of Gambling Hades" in private.

Hades lived in Yunxiao Palace, which is really ironic. "Mountain", "Yu", "Three" and "Xi".

The empty hall is cut off from the skylight, making it impossible to tell the difference between day and night, and what year it is today and night.In the drunkenness, dreams, and death, time seems to be stagnant in place, and it seems to flow by itself for thousands of years.And he was thrown out of time, in a daze, with only the gambling utensils displayed on the gaming table as his companions, and his hands caressed the cold utensils again and again, just like caressing the carcass of a beautiful woman, full of affection and meticulousness.During the years of getting along with each other, he understood their tempers and dispositions, even better than himself.Because of this, he dared to entrust his life to them.

The copper coin in Yan Qianfan's hand is just one of his favorite beauties. He knows her flying trajectory very well, and the moment she dances and falls, it seems to others that there is no trace of the result. , he has seen it clearly.

The contest with Yan Qianfan will be the easiest game he has ever won.This is not even like a gamble, but a reward sent by God himself.He was supposed to be Yan Qianfan's scapegoat, but the scapegoat personally sent the client to hell. Is there anything more enjoyable than this in the world?

He couldn't figure it out, so he smiled, a genuine and contented smile, with no pity in it, just ecstasy.

Ecstasy flowed out through his expression, pouring into Yan Qianfan's eyes unreservedly.

Yan Qianfan looked at him, as if being overwhelmed by his happiness, and was stunned in place without saying a word.

He couldn't wait to receive the reward, he didn't even want to wait any longer, he urged: "It's too late for you to regret it now, uncover it."

Yan Qianfan came back to his senses, rolled his stiff eyes, and finally cast his gaze on his face, and said word by word, "You are right, it seems that none of us can go back on our word."

The five fingers covering the back of the hand were released, revealing the copper coin.

Zhao Qiancheng's smile disappeared.

His complexion was like wine that had been poisoned, from clear, slightly rippling fine nectar, to an ugly, turbid iron blue in an instant.

What caught his eyes was the four square seal characters, not the gossip pattern.

He opened his eyes wide in astonishment, and murmured: "The door is broken."

Yan Qianfan's expression was still calm, and he said: "Copper coins are originally engraved on one side and painted on the other side. It is possible to face up on either side, so how can it become evil?"

"Bah!" Zhao Qiancheng yelled angrily, "When I just threw it, it was already..." At this point, he suddenly realized his slip of the tongue, and stopped in the middle.

I heard that if the thoughts in your heart are too strong, you can't help but express them in your mouth. This is the inferiority of human beings, even if you bet on the king of Hades, you will not be immune.

Yan Qianfan raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Hey? Forgive me for being stupid. Listen to the meaning of these words, so you are cheating in the game?"

"Bah! Bah! Bah!" Zhao Qiancheng scolded three times, and said, "I have gambled with my ability to this day, and I have never cheated! If I really cheated, would I still lose to you?"

He stared at the copper coin on the back of Yan Qianfan's hand, wishing he could burn two extra holes on both sides of the eye of the coin, and burn the four goddamn seal characters to ashes.

Yan Qianfan smiled slightly, and said: "I told you just now that the Yan family was born with the protection of a Bodhisattva. I heard that you are the king of gambling in the Sanxiao Tower, but it is a pity that the king of Hades came before the Bodhisattva. If you have the ability to listen to all directions, you still have to bow your head and give way."

"You're talking nonsense!" Zhao Qiancheng stared wide-eyed, as if the eyeballs were about to pop out of his sockets, his arms were clasped beside his ears, his lips and nose were trembling, and he couldn't hide his madness.

Yan Qianfan put the copper coins in his palm, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, the gambling game is over for now, your life is mine now, so you have to tell me the process of poisoning carefully, and I will find a way to save you." you."

Zhao Qian turned his head slightly, his bloodshot eyes showed suspicion.

Yan Qianfan also restrained his pretentious attitude just now, and said softly: "You and I are similar in age, and we also look like brothers born from the same mother. You have to trust me, I will not harm you."

Zhao Qiancheng looked at the person opposite, and instead of answering immediately, he squatted down slowly.Yan Qianfan also bent his knees along with him, squatted aside, patted his shoulder and comforted him patiently.

After a while, Zhao Qiancheng finally raised his head, and Yan Qianfan showed joy, but the next moment, he said in a blunt tone, "I can't say."

Yan Qianfan was startled: "Why?"

Zhao Qiancheng sneered and said, "I'll stay here and wait for my death. At least I can die comfortably. It's better than being burned and tortured again."

After laughing, he lowered his eyes, bit his lips with his teeth, shrank his neck into his shoulders, his shoulders were still trembling slightly, his disheveled hair swayed in front of his forehead, and the mildew spots on his clothes also trembled.

He finally revealed his true face beyond madness—not an invincible gambling king, but a panic-stricken young man on the verge of catastrophe.

Yan Qianfan's palm touched his shoulder: "Don't be afraid, you won't die, I will save you..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Qiancheng suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed Yan Qianfan away heavily.

He didn't know where he exerted so much strength, Yan Qianfan was caught off guard by the push, staggered back two steps, and sat on the ground.

Zhao Qiancheng stood up abruptly, turned around to pick up the poisoned wine bottle on the table, and raised his head to pour it into his mouth.

"Stop!" Yan Qianfan said in astonishment, and immediately turned over to stop it, but the muddy wine was about to flow out, like a waterfall, pouring mercilessly towards the hope that was within reach.

The water splashed on Zhao Qiancheng's jaw.

There was a crisp clatter, the sound of a wine bottle hitting the ground hard.

"Bah! Let me go!" Zhao Qiancheng struggled desperately to move his body.

It was Feng Guangsheng who took the first step, strangled Zhao Qiancheng's arms from behind with a grappling move, grabbed the wine bottle before the poisoned wine poured out, and threw it to the ground hard.

"You two bastards! You bastards! You are too much of a bully!" Zhao Qiancheng cursed repeatedly, but he couldn't escape the restraint of the pair of iron arms behind him.

Feng Guangsheng's voice sounded close to his ears: "Since you agreed to his terms, you shouldn't go back on your word."

"Then what do you want me to do!" Zhao Qiancheng wailed hysterically, "Your Yan family is blessed by a Bodhisattva! You are born with inexhaustible glory and wealth, but I have nothing! I live a useless life. I'm useless, even if I die, no one in the world will shed tears for me, so you can't let me go, don't I even deserve a good death!"

This accusation seems to roar out the grievances of more than ten years, violently like a torrent.

Feng Guangsheng finally let go of his arm.

Yan Qianfan went upstream, came to him, spread out his palms, and said, "Look at this."

He wiped his face and looked closely, only to see that the five-dollar coin lying in Yan Qianfan's palm somehow turned into three coins.

The same thin square hole, the same seal carving pattern.

Suspicion appeared on Zhao Qiancheng's face: "Why are there three?"

"Originally there was only one, and the other two were brought by me."

With a flick of his wrist, Yan Qianfan tossed the two copper coins up with a light force, just enough for them to fly slightly into the air, draw two arcs, and fall into Zhao Qiancheng's palm.

Zhao Qiancheng's eyes froze.

Yan Qianfan seemed to have seen through his mind, and said again: "You might as well try to distinguish."

Zhao Qiancheng's fingers trembled slightly, and after a while, he slowly raised his head with a dreamy look.

Yan Qianfan met his gaze and said, "Now you should understand why I can beat you."

Zhao Qiancheng was stunned, and lowered his head again, his eyes seemed to have turned into stones, staring at his palms motionless.

His palms seemed to be on fire.

He stretched out his hot index finger and middle finger, picked up one of the copper coins, stroked the surface with his thumb, let the engravings of seal characters and gossip rub against the lines on the belly of his fingers, his movements were meticulous, like tasting the fat of a beautiful woman .

Although the color and shape are exactly the same, the surface that is often rubbed and played with must feel more delicate.

When all three copper coins surrendered in his hands, he finally lifted one of them up slowly and said, "This is the one I threw."

"That's right," Yan Qianfan nodded and said, "You throw one of them, but you see the other one. So no matter what you guess, the final result you see always depends on my intentions. "

The confusion on Zhao Qiancheng's face gradually turned into anger: "How did you do it?"

Yan Qianfan said: "I have practiced my hand skills for more than ten years, and I still have this ability. If you are easily detected, how dare I stand in front of you and confess to you."

Zhao Qiancheng still didn't seem to believe it, and asked with an inquisitive look: "Where did the counterfeit come from?"

Yan Qianfan lowered his gaze, with an involuntary apology in his tone: "Before I went upstairs to meet you, I borrowed this place from the waiter, and according to his description, polished it with copper coins from the market. It can be made more similar, and it must be completely impossible for you to tell."

Polishing and polishing are the most basic skills of iron forging craftsmen.Although Yan Qianfan left Yingzhou Island for ten years, the skills passed down from his ancestors seemed to melt in his blood, and he never forgot it for a moment.Even if it is a small object that has never been seen before, he can imitate it almost exactly based on a few descriptions from others.

Zhao Qiancheng, who is proficient in gambling skills, would never have guessed that there would be people in the world deliberately making identical fakes for copper coins.

As a result, he was deceived by an overly simple plot that seemed like a child's play, and even lost his life.

Anyone who suffers such insults will inevitably become angry and distraught.

Zhao Qiancheng clenched his fists and held the three copper coins that looked like biological brothers in the palm of his hand, making a sharp and ear-piercing clucking sound. Those lines that were originally neat, orderly, and clean were twisted, knotted, and squeezed into each other in his palm. Squeeze, wear down, kill, and finally turn into three ugly, vulgar, detestable wastes.

He gritted his teeth with the same force, stared into Yan Qianfan's eyes, and said word by word: "The person who cheated is not me at all, but you."

Yan Qianfan nodded: "I admit it."

I only heard three sharp bangs, three poor little things were thrown out of their hands vigorously, hit the wall behind them heavily, and fell to the ground after the violent collision, leaving behind a series of fine reverberations. No matter which dark corner you enter, you will finally return to silence.

Zhao Qiancheng's fingers were trembling due to excessive force. He grabbed Yan Qianfan's collar and asked sharply, "Is it interesting for you to play me? What exactly do you want to give up?"

Yan Qianfan just shook his head slowly, with a serious expression on his face, he couldn't see the joy of playing tricks on people's hearts at all, only endless pain.

What would Yan Yuehua think if he knew that he used the skills passed down from his family to deceive him out of thousands of dollars.

If An Guangsha knew that he had driven an innocent person to a dead end, how would he treat him.

It is harder to make good people do evil than to make evil people do good.Because trust and respect are both fragile and fragile, and once broken, they can no longer be repaired.

It seems that what he polished was not copper coins, but his own heart. He polished all his conscience and dignity, and exposed the most despicable and shameless side on the table.

"You can beat me up later, but I have one more thing to show you."

Perhaps his tone was too low, Zhao Qiancheng let go of his collar and took a step back silently, although his face was full of reluctance.

He walked to the gaming table, then raised his palm, clenched his five fingers into a fist, hovered in the air for a moment, and smashed the table without warning.

He vented all his depression in this blow, his fist was like a hammer, and he smashed the wood on the table, smashing a distorted hole.

After a huge muffled sound, sawdust scattered everywhere.

Feng Guangsheng was also stunned, and immediately stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder: "Brother Yan, calm down, even if you fail to win the bet, you can't smash other people's shops."

He shook his head, with a surprisingly calm expression, his eyes stopped on Feng Guangsheng for a moment, then turned to Zhao Qiancheng, and said, "See for yourself."

Zhao Qiancheng's eyes widened like an idiot, and he looked inward along the opening.

Because the gambling table is equipped with three layers of drawers, a large empty box wrapped in wood is formed under the tabletop, and when you tap it with your fingers, you can hear the echo.Zhao Qiancheng never paid attention to the mystery, until at this moment, when the table was smashed open, he could clearly see the situation inside.

There are hidden organs in the box that should be empty.There are rivets, dowels, and nooses, all under the traction of microcomputers.In an extremely delicate way, it is quietly connected with the surface of the gaming table.

Yan Qianfan's voice sounded from the side: "Aren't you curious about why you lost to Yan Yuehua? The secret that you can't figure out is hidden here."

Zhao Qiancheng's eyes widened, and he argued, "This table is clearly a display for a gambling house!"

Yan Qianfan said: "So what, may I ask which businessman on Yingzhou Island dares to refuse the request of the owner of Zhujianzhuang?"

Zhao Qiancheng still didn't believe it, and asked persistently: "How do you know that Yan Yuehua must be playing tricks?"

Yan Qianfan said: "Yan Yuehua is my biological brother. I know his temperament very well. He never takes risks that he is not sure of. Naturally, he can't bet his life to save me."

When he said this, a wry smile flashed across his face, his movements were small and slow, as if he had melted half of his life's grievances into this faint smile.

Zhao Qiancheng also raised the corners of his mouth, but smiled extremely coldly: "You just said yourself that the Yan family is blessed by a Bodhisattva."

Yan Qianfan asked back: "Are you really betting on Hades?"

Zhao Qiancheng didn't answer, the smile seemed to be peeling off the eggshell, and slowly receded from his face, then he raised his head, but his eyes were blocked by the roof.

It turns out that the so-called Yunxiao Temple has such a low roof.

The timbers on the beams were covered with mildew.There are also large and small dirt spots on the walls, dust accumulation in the corners, and spiders weaving webs. All these scenes disappeared in the dim and yellow candlelight.

The paradise that he originally regarded as his destination turned out to be so dirty and dilapidated.

The dust was always there, but he chose to ignore it.

Standing under the eaves that cut off the sky and the sun and the moon, Zhao Qiancheng let out a roar from the depths of his throat.I don't know whether to yell at myself, or yell at this rough and rough world.

Then, he raised his foot and kicked hard at the gambling table.

Yan Qianfan silently watched Zhao Qiancheng's actions.

Zhao Qiancheng's movements are messy and his movements are erratic. He obviously has no foundation in martial arts, and he just vented his anger out of nowhere with brute force and spirit.

The poor gambling table was kicked to the ground after a big hole was made. One leg of the table was broken, and the drawer slipped out of the frame. .

There is no water in the river, only the beauties that Zhao Qiancheng regards as the most precious. Countless spotless carcasses rolled into the mud. original form.

Zhao Qiancheng was still dissatisfied, so he raised his foot and stepped on the pile of falling objects. He stomped hard, but still felt that it was not enough, and then added another foot. His legs and feet seemed like pendulums, repeating the same movement over and over again. As if forgetting the pain, forgetting the sleepiness, just lift up and down, let those shiny utensils be smashed to pieces one by one.It wasn't until he was exhausted at last that he staggered and stopped in place.

Everything he was proud of, after being teased and trampled on, finally turned into a mess.

Yan Qianfan did not stop Zhao Qiancheng.

The faces of the two are so similar, one is like the reflection of the other, Yan Qianfan stared at the reflection for too long, the anger of the other party poured into his chest unconsciously, became a part of him, and affected his soul.

He just watched.

It's a pity that reality choked his throat tightly, leaving him not even a moment to breathe.The sound of Zhao Qiancheng's smashing and stomping had just stopped, when he heard a rush of footsteps from behind, stomping on the hanging wood, there was a creaking and shaking sound, presumably it was the noise just now that disturbed him Downstairs, people from the gambling house were attracted to go upstairs to investigate.

"I'll deal with it." Feng Guangsheng said, turned around first, took a step forward, and blocked the door with his body.

Yan Qianfan looked at Feng Guangsheng's back, saw him whispering something to the visitor, and then took out a silver coin from the bottom of his sleeve and stuffed it into the other person's palm.From the crack of the door, one can vaguely see the attire of the visitor. He is dressed in elegant and luxurious attire. He is probably the boss of the casino.

The boss seemed to have experienced many storms, and his attitude was much calmer than the minions who surrounded him. He took the money, listened to the explanation, and stopped asking any more questions. He turned around and left with a group of people, and closed the door from the outside. He also called the waiter who was guarding the door away.

Standing by the door, Feng Guangsheng let out a long breath and slumped his shoulders.

At this moment, there are only three people in Yunxiao Palace.

Zhao Qiancheng didn't pay attention to the noises around him at all. He stood still, standing in the ruins created by himself, with his head lowered, his eyes searching around through the messy hair, like a lost child.

Yan Qianfan walked up to Zhao Qiancheng, wiped his hands on the sleeves of his clothes, wiped off the sweat on his palms, and said: "The reason why I bet with you is not to win you, let alone to humiliate you, but just to Let you understand that you didn't deserve to die, and you don't have to die. If you accept your fate and die here willingly, you will really lose everything."

Zhao Qiancheng raised his head, but his eyes flicked past him, and then fell on the chair beside him.He took a step dejectedly, as if he wanted to sit down and rest, but he quickly raised his hand, lifted the heavy wooden chair, and threw it in the direction of Yan Qianfan.

"roll!"

Yan Qianfan dodged sideways, and the wooden chair fell beside him, breaking the back of the chair, and the crisp sound pierced his eardrums, causing his left ear to buzz continuously.

He borrowed and said: "I want to help you, and now only I can help you, please listen to my advice..."

"Get out!!" Zhao Qiancheng roared hysterically.

Yan Qianfan couldn't move forward anymore, he felt that if he took another step, Zhao Qiancheng would strangle him with his bony hands.

Feng Guangsheng turned back from the door, walked quickly to his side, and said in a low voice, "Brother Yan, we don't have much time." Then he glanced at Zhao Qiancheng's direction, showing disgust, "Why don't you put him away first?" He took him away, and I will torture him to make him want to die, so he will naturally confess."

After finishing speaking, Feng Guangsheng reached out his hand to Zhao Qiancheng, grabbed the latter by the collar, and forced the latter to stand up.His strong arms lifted a thin gambler as easily as an eagle lifts a hare.

Yan Qianfan pressed Feng Guangsheng's wrist, then shook his head slowly.

"Brother Yan!" Feng Guangsheng frowned, "You've come this far, won't your heart soften?"

Yan Qianfan clenched his lips, his whole body was tense, as if his chest had been pierced by an arrow, his face was pale, he was silent for a long time before he finally opened his mouth and said: "Life and death are important matters, even if I have no choice, I can't deprive him s Choice."

Feng Guangsheng stomped his feet anxiously: "What about An Guangsha?"

Yan Qianfan just shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and his heart became more and more empty. Just like the gambling table, a hole was smashed out, and the things inside leaked out, and the joy and joy accumulated in ten years fell into the cold space. On the ground, it fell into a pool of debris.

There was only a void left in his heart.

In the end, he still ended up with the same ending as last time, watching the hope go away in the flames, watching Waipu's child leave a resolute and resolute look in his eyes, and abandon him without looking back.

Can An Guangsha survive, and what should Xiling Village do?

He couldn't answer, he did everything within his power, but he was still like a headless chicken, spinning around in place, hesitating.

Rivers and lakes, how muddy and mighty rivers and lakes are.

The dead are like the waves on the river, day and night, wanting to restore the lost things is just a futile struggle of mediocrity.

At the moment when his chest was so empty, the cool wind took advantage of the void and pierced through it, he suddenly understood why some people would insist on seeking death.

Because death is really a kind of relief, only the dead can be free from the scouring of rivers and lakes, the stiff body is buried deep in the soil, far away from the waves, a pure heart is engraved on the stone tablet with beautiful handwriting, the vermilion lacquer enters the ravine, gold powder is the embellishment, Immortal beyond time.

It's a pity, it's a pity, the poisoned wine in the wine bottle has been spilled all over the ground, scattered and scattered, flowing uncontrollably into the low-lying pits, just like his life.

"Forget it," Feng Guangsheng let go of Zhao Qiancheng's collar, and put his arm on Yan Qianfan's shoulder, "The mud won't support the wall after all, let's go."

Yan Qianfan was led by the opponent's strength, and he stepped forward with a dazed expression, but the soles of his feet seemed to be equipped with knife points, and every step he took was excruciatingly painful.

He finally reached the door, but heard a call from behind: "Come back!"

Feng Guangsheng's face was full of anger: "Brother Yan, don't worry about that rascal, I don't think he will change his mind."

But Zhao Qiancheng continued: "Come back! I'll tell you everything I know."

Yan Qianfan finally turned around, his face still full of suspicion.He saw Zhao Qiancheng brushing a mess of hair, raised his head as if tired, and spoke slowly in the dead silence like the eve of a storm.

"After the news of the pardon came, I thought I was lucky enough to avoid death. Before I left the prison, I had been thinking about my future life. I even wanted to stay away from Yingzhou Island and find someone who didn't know me. The place where people know me, quit gambling and start over. Do you know? Although the Sky Prison is called the Sky Prison, it is built underground. There is no light in the cell, which is exactly the same as here. I thought I could finally I saw the sun, but..."

At this point, his voice paused, as if something was stuck in his throat, causing a violent cough.

Yan Qianfan stepped forward and patted his shoulder.

He didn't continue until the shaking on his shoulders subsided, then he continued: "But just as I stepped out of the gate of the prison, I was blindfolded and put on torture tools. Before my eyes could adapt to the light outside, I was imprisoned back into the darkness again. "

Yan Qianfan's mood fluctuated violently with Zhao Qiancheng's voice. Seeing that the other party stopped talking, he asked urgently: "Do you know who attacked you?"

Zhao Qiancheng shook his head: "It was the government's yamen who did it, but the person who directed them was not like the government. That person was wearing a mask with blue-faced fangs and covered his face."

Yan Qianfan's heart shuddered, the story told by this person really did not differ from the rumors he had heard on the roof.He was as excited as a blind man who finally touched the tail of an elephant, and asked, "What happens next?"

Zhao Qiancheng said: "Afterwards, I was escorted to a ship. Although I was blindfolded, I heard the familiar sound of the waves and felt the deck shaking, so I knew that the ship was going back to Yingzhou Island. It seems that God I was not allowed to run away. I was depressed, and felt my stomach was overwhelmed, and my throat was so thirsty that someone offered me water, so I drank it without hesitation, but there was a disgusting smell in the water, and I swallowed it. At the back of my throat, the viscera were on fire, and I realized that the water was poisonous. When I was at a loss, a voice said that the martial arts conference is coming soon, and we need to get the Moxie sword and give it to him, so that we can get the only one. antidote."

Yan Qianfan waited patiently for him to finish, and then asked, "Did you see the other prisoners on the same boat?"

"No."

"Have you never met in the sky prison?"

Zhao Qiancheng was a little impatient when he was questioned: "What do you think is the sky prison? The cells in the sky prison are all separated. Only when there are not enough cells, the two will share a room. The person who is locked with me is a felon , did not get the day of pardon, said that he was afraid that the beheading would be too painful and suffer, so he found a rope from somewhere, and hanged himself in the middle of the night. Many prisoners in the prison were like him, and they committed suicide before they went to the execution ground. Killed."

Yan Qianfan thought in his heart, no matter how cruel the sky prison is, he should have no fate with this person in front of him, but his own karma.A trace of shame appeared on his face, and he asked again: "Who is the person who kidnapped you, do you have any idea?"

Zhao Qiancheng rolled his eyes straight: "How would I know."

Yan Qianfan explained patiently: "But he has to tell you how to get in touch with him. If someone gets the Mo Xie Sword, he should know how to give it to him."

This time, Zhao Qiancheng was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said: "On the east slope of Yingzhou Island, on the side facing the sea, there is a lighthouse made of stone stones, called Nantian Pagoda."

Yan Qianfan's eyes lit up, he was born on Yingzhou Island, of course he knew about Nantian Pagoda.As a whole, Yingzhou Island is long and narrow along the north-south direction, shaped like a jujube core. There is a long coastline on the east slope, facing the outer sea, with endless blue, huge waves, steep seaside terrain, jagged rocks, and many hidden reefs near the sea. Sometimes it is submerged by sea water, which is very dangerous for ships.Therefore, the ancestors built a stone pagoda on the reef by the sea. There were no people living in the pagoda, but flag tassels were erected, and candles were lit after nightfall to guide the way for fishing boats.

The stone pagoda had no name when it was first built. Later, on a clear summer night, the tower keeper climbed to the top of the tower and found that he could see the bright stars in the direction of the southern sky, so he named it Nantian Pagoda.

The east slope of Yingzhou Island is adjacent to the open sea, and most of it is uninhabited wasteland. Due to the recent high tide closing the sea, there will be no boats passing by. Even the tower guards are on holiday. It is indeed difficult to find a second one on the island. Such a remote place that is easy to avoid people's eyes and ears.

Yan Qianfan showed joy, and asked: "So you can meet him as long as you go to the South Sky Tower? But how can you let him know? Could it be that he has been hiding in the tower?"

The question was urgent, but Zhao Qiancheng's eyes turned cold, not because of fear, but gradually with a look of speculation.

"I can't tell you right away."

"how?"

"You told me to believe you, but you lied to me first."

Yan Qianfan was stunned, and said: "That's true. But I never lied to you this time. I really plan to go to Nantian Tower to find someone, and the Moxie sword is in my hand."

Zhao Qiancheng interrupted him and said, "Give me a look."

"what?"

"I have to take a look at Mo Xiejian first to make sure you haven't lied to me before I can tell you the rest of the secret."

Zhao Qiancheng spoke unhurriedly, with a bit of slyness in his eyes. After being shocked and flustered, the true colors of a gambler appeared on his face again.

Yan Qianfan didn't expect side branches to grow outside the festival, turned around with confusion, and exchanged glances with Feng Guangsheng, who just shook his head, obviously there was no better way.

He could only bite the bullet and say: "Okay, I promise you. I have hidden the Moxie sword elsewhere, so I will show you right away."

Zhao Qiancheng nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to shake off his burden, and his steps became very light. He moved his legs like beating drums, and in a blink of an eye, he left the Yunxiao Temple, stepped down the steps, and walked through the two floors without stopping. Under the terrified gaze of everyone, he finally pushed open the door that imprisoned his life.

The breeze is blowing, as if in a lifetime.

Yan Qianfan followed closely, and finally left this land of right and wrong, as if returning to the world from a sea of ​​swords and flames, he breathed a long sigh of relief, narrowed his eyes, and faced the dazzling sunlight.

The sun is gradually slanting to the west, and the edge of the stratus clouds in the sky is a little rosy.

Feng Guangsheng was the third to go out, patted Yan Qianfan's shoulder with one hand, leaned into the latter's ear, and said in a low voice: "I think it's getting late, the brothers in Xiling Village are waiting for me to go back, next we Let's split up."

Yan Qianfan asked: "How to split up?"

"You take Zhao Qiancheng to get Mo Xie Sword, I will go to Brother An and mobilize the brothers from Xilingzhai to follow me to Nantian Tower. Afterwards, we will cooperate secretly and wait for you to lure the man with green face and fangs out, and then we will wait for the opportunity to strike .”

The words Xilingzhai fell into Yan Qianfan's ears, and it turned into an exciting signal. He nodded heavily and said, "Yes, let's do it this way."

Feng Guangsheng was taller and bigger than Yan Qianfan, hooked the latter's shoulder with one hand, and patted the other's forehead with the other, just like what the three of them did before they rushed to the battlefield.

However, he quickly frowned and said, "Brother Yan, your hands are shaking so badly."

"what?"

Yan Qianfan lowered his head in a daze, only to realize that his fingers were trembling slightly.

The strange thing is that he didn't notice this at all, there was no enemy in front of him, and there was no danger around him, just now he didn't consume too much energy, let alone feel tired.

He tried to clenched his fingers and loosened them again, but it was useless, his fingertips were still trembling, as if he had gotten rid of the control of his body without authorization, and made a weak protest sound.

A look of shame floated on his face, he lowered his head and said: "It's okay, it will be fine in a while." After speaking, he turned his hands behind his back and tried to get out of the opponent's arms.

However, Feng Guangsheng held his shoulders tightly, and squeezed his shoulder blades as if he was comforting a frustrated kid when he was a child: "It was strange to see your calm face, as if you were a different person, so it turns out that you also feel flustered. Yes."

Yan Qianfan felt hot in front of his eyes, raised his free hand to touch his nose, and said, "Brother Feng, don't laugh at me, this is also the first time I've been at the gambling table, and it's the first time I've cheated."

Feng Guangsheng chuckled lightly: "You even fooled me just now, maybe you are a genius at the gambling table, but it's a pity that you were buried by spear skills."

Yan Qianfan heard the teasing in the other party's words, and waved his hands accordingly: "I don't dare to take it, I'm just learning what I'm learning, and I've been watching Brother Liu's gambling just now, and I found that he didn't really gamble with luck. , For example, when he taps the table with his fingers, he is actually controlling the direction of the dice."

Feng Guangsheng raised his eyebrows: "So there are such skills on the gambling table?"

Yan Qianfan nodded solemnly.

Feng Guangsheng said again: "No wonder I lost all my money in the only time I went to the gambling house. It seems that my skills are too tender."

Yan Qianfan burst out laughing, and after laughing, he showed a bit of sadness, and said: "Actually, gambling is not that difficult. Life is full of gambling. The more you risk, the more you will win. The bigger the person, the more able to win to the end."

Feng Guangsheng also suppressed his smile, fell silent for a moment, and said, "That's because the losers have already left, and you can't see their pain."

Yan Qianfan nodded, and said in a very low voice, "I can see it."

Feng Guangsheng showed surprise, turned his gaze to him, and after a moment of silence, said: "Actually, I also think that elder brother is too strict with you. You risked everything for Xiling Village, but he didn't appreciate it. Even I did it for you." You feel wronged."

Yan Qianfan blinked, shook his head unexpectedly quickly, and said, "It's okay, I have a thick skin."

Feng Guangsheng finally let go of his neck, stroked his shoulders for the last time, and gestured his thumbs in mid-air as he retreated:

"The next time we reunite, I will definitely stand by your side and give him a hard lesson for you."

Yan Qianfan was startled, then smiled and said, "Okay."

Feng Guangsheng finally turned around and left.

There was no one in the deep alley, only Zhao Qiancheng was leaning against the mottled brick wall, looking drowsy, until Yan Qianfan walked towards him, he raised his eyelids and said, "Finally, the farewell is over?"

Yan Qianfan explained patiently: "We are just splitting up for the time being, and he will bring the brothers from Xiling Village to support us later."

Zhao Qiancheng took a step forward, a pair of eyes emerged from the shadow cast by the wall, and looked straight at him: "Are you really going to die?"

Yan Qianfan
