A Faithful Dog's Secret Guard

Even standing in the shadows in the hot afternoon made him feel uncomfortable, when Jiang Xuan walked to the door of Jiang Lianzhi's bedroom, sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead, he didn't rush in, and listened to the movement in the room at the door.

"Like this? How many have you eaten?" Jiang Lianzhi's lazy and frivolous voice made him sick as always.

"Master, can I have another one for Ah Jin?" The voice of Mujin, the young lady who became popular in Yichun Pavilion a while ago, was soft and sweet, as if just listening to the voice, one could imagine that the person was soft and indifferent. bone posture.

There was some movement in the room that could make people blush, Jiang Lianzhi laughed and said, "Ah Jin eats a few from the front mouth, and eats a few from the back mouth later."

"Master, don't..." Mu Jin said coquettishly, "Ah Jin won't be able to eat that much later."

The two people in the room whispered some explicit words again, Jiang Xuan listened calmly outside the room, looked at Lu Ying who was guarding the door, and whispered: "Give him today's medicine?"

Lu Ying nodded slightly, pointed inside, Jiang Xuan didn't speak anymore, pushed the door and walked in.

The two people who rolled to the ground in the room were not interrupted because someone came in, they still stripped each other's clothes as if no one else was there, Jiang Xuan also looked calm, and bowed to greet him: "Young Master."

Jiang Lianzhi was busy groping under Mujin's tulle clothes, and he casually said "Yes", Jiang Xuan stood for a while, seeing him ignoring himself for a long time, and then said: "Young Master, the Mingyue Gate of Chaozhou has been in the dark recently. To check some of our affairs, I sent someone to investigate, and there seemed to be people from the capital behind."

"Did you find anything?" Jiang Lianzhi asked lazily, with his hands constantly moving.

Jiang Xuan replied: "No, our people deal with it very cleanly, without leaving any traces."

"Then don't worry about it." Jiang Lianzhi put his hand under Mu Jin's body, "Just keep an eye on these things."

From the beginning to the end, Jiang Lianzhi didn't even look at him, and Jiang Xuan's expression remained unchanged, he nodded and said, "Yes."

The censer in the house was burning with strong spices. Jiang Xuan smelled a sweet and greasy fragrance of flowers, and knew that Hibiscus still added medicine to it according to his instructions today. The day became hotter and hotter, and just as he was thinking about whether to leave, he remembered something, paused, and said, "My lord, there is one more thing... It's about the Bai family. The things that are not good for them in their hands are all hidden, the Xiao family and the Jiang family are gone, and the Bai family will follow in their footsteps sooner or later. They have been obsessed with destroying evidence recently. Those things we had in the capital should have been taken away Bar?"

Jiang Lianzhi's hand rested on the slender waist of the hibiscus for a moment, and he was a little slow to react to the sweet fragrance, but immediately said lightly: "Don't worry, the Bai family can't find it."

Jiang Xuan hesitated to speak, and finally said: "So the Bai family wants to ask something from my brother recently."

"Didn't you say that the Bai family has lost interest in Jiang Yao?" Jiang Lianzhi frowned, "Are they suspicious?"

"That's not true." An imperceptible coldness flashed across Jiang Xuan's eyes, "My brother has always obeyed the young master's order, and I think I am you, the young master. The Bai family should have no doubts. But my brother has no doubts about the Jiang family. I don't know much about the things in the bag, so I'm not sure if the Bai family will be suspicious."

"The Bai family should know that I won't say it easily, so it's reasonable for your brother not to say it. They will only think that he doesn't want to say it, not that he doesn't know." Jiang Lianzhi waved his hand indifferently, "The Bai family won't take care of it if they don't come out of the trial. Jiang Yao didn't die in the punishment hall for three months, and he can't break it in the hands of the Bai family."

Jiang Xuan watched Jiang Lianzhi quietly for a while through the smoke from the incense burner, his eyes were calm and unwavering, but when Mu Jin turned his head to see it, he shivered, as if he could see something hidden under the calm water. Unknown danger, bloodthirsty and terrifying.

"Cold?" Jiang Lianzhi surrounded Mu Jin, and said to Jiang Xuan, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Jiang Xuan withdrew his gaze, glanced at the burning spices, and said, "It's gone, Hibiscus will serve the young master well."

After saying that, he left the room quickly, and walked along the corridor as soon as he went out. He stopped at the end of the corridor, gasping for breath while holding on to the pillar, frowning and retching a few times.

"Is your son okay?" Lu Ying came up to catch up and asked tentatively.

Jiang Xuan saw a water tank under the corridor, walked over and splashed two handfuls of water on his face, put his hands on the edge of the water tank, the water droplets splashed down from the tips of his hair, he quietly looked at his reflection in the water, his eyes and face were full of The disgusting emotions evoked by the spices dissipated, and there was another calm face.

He hated the feeling so much, the feeling that he wasn't completely sane anymore.

"What's going on at Bai's house?" Jiang Xuan looked at the water in the water tank and said coldly, "Didn't you tell him to keep an eye on him? What are you doing when you come back?"

Lu Ying knelt down and said, "The Bai family has already released Jiang Yao from the dungeon, so they probably didn't ask anything. Jiang Yao... suffered some injuries, but nothing serious."

"No serious problem?" Jiang Xuan smiled briefly, suppressing the emotions that were about to surge up, and said again, "Is it almost time for the antidote?"

"Yes." Lu Yingdao, "This subordinate came back just to report this matter to the young master. Because the Bai family did not get the evidence, they should not let him go out to perform tasks in a short time. I am afraid that the subordinate will not have the opportunity to explain to him. medicine."

The suppressed emotions in front of Jiang Xuan suddenly burst out, his eyes were cold, he suddenly grabbed Lu Ying's neck, and said in a cold voice: "This is something you should solve by yourself, what's the use of telling me?"

Lu Ying didn't expect that his hands could be so strong, she nodded her head with difficulty, and squeezed out the word "yes" from her throat.

Jiang Xuan let go of his hand, suppressed his anger again, and walked to the corridor tiredly to lean against the pillar, closed his eyes, saw that Lu Ying was still kneeling on the spot, and said lightly: "Get up." He said so extremely With a short smile of contempt, he said: "I'm actually angry with myself. I've been lying to him and using him. I'm sorry for him. Sometimes I feel disgusting, very inhuman, like Jiang Lianzhi. It makes no difference."

Lu Ying had always been reticent, and she would not easily talk to such words. After a while, Jiang Xuan's expression returned to normal, and she said, "Young master, what should I do with that hibiscus?"

Jiang Xuan sneered, and said: "At first I thought he was timid and fearful, but I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful. If he can settle down, I can give him a sum of money to send him away after a while. Go reincarnate earlier."

Lu Ying felt terrified when she heard the coldness in that voice, but she didn't really think much about this hibiscus, after all, if she was too thoughtful, she wouldn't be able to see that this was the worst person to mess with.

Hibiscus came out of Jiang Lianzhi's room at night, with bruises all over his body, and he staggered a little when he walked. There were many shocking scars under his semi-revealing clothes. Jiang Xuan sat Drinking tea in the waterside pavilion, one can tell at a glance that Hibiscus is not having a good time in the afternoon. Jiang Lian's disposition is distorted, and he likes to play various tricks on females. He often goes too far and is killed in just one night. There are more than one or two.

He was once played by Jiang Lianzhi like this, he shouted crazily in his heart, nausea filled his whole body, but at the same time he wanted to cater to him as if nothing had happened, and even put on a smiling face, allowing Jiang Lianzhi to fiddle with him, All kinds of unbearable marks were left on his body. Afterwards, he sank into the bathtub like a ball of mud, picked up the dagger tremblingly, and drew bloodstains on his arms, but he didn't feel any pain. He didn't go out even when the water in the tub turned into blood, but watched indifferently as he was soaked in blood.

That year he was younger than Hibiscus, for a moment he felt that his life might be over like this, but in the end he endured all emotions, fear, unwillingness, nausea, and disgust, and put on the armor of indifference , to be hypocritical to all.

Because he knows that he must endure, and those who cannot endure will never achieve great things. Not only must they be able to endure, but they must also endure to the extreme. people, waiting for their own opportunity.

Fortunately, Jiang Lianzhi lost interest in him after playing for two or three times. He really learned Jiang Lianzhi's every move too much. It is obviously not interesting to play with someone who is so similar to himself, so Jiang Lianzhi Lianzhi quickly disliked him and turned to seek new targets.

And he has already learned how to stay by Jiang Lianzhi's side for a long time and safely. He will do whatever Jiang Lianzhi does, and he will do his best to make Jiang Lianzhi trust him unconditionally and be willing to take care of him. Leave the things you don't want to deal with to him.

There are no railings around the water pavilion, it is a high platform embedded in the middle of the water, like a lonely island, Jiang Xuan sat on a chair pouring tea, drinking tea, the evening wind blows, white clothes flutter, Hibiscus stares blankly at him, feeling that At that time, he was like a banished fairy who was left alone in the world, his eyebrows and eyes were covered with cold frost, his black hair like a waterfall was hanging down from his shoulders, his slender fingers were as smooth as jade, his joints were distinct, and his veins were exposed. The temperature when those hands touched his skin, he raised his eyes slightly under the moonlight, and the moonlight flowed between his eyes, elegant and melancholy.

Mu Jin has seen all kinds of people in Yichun Pavilion since she was a child, but she has never seen someone like Jiang Xuan. Sitting there is like a painting. This kind of cold danger, that kind of danger is not repelling people thousands of miles away, but it is so charming that people can't help but want to approach it and sink into it.

Jiang Xuan watched Mu Jin approaching with blurred eyes with a flat expression, and fell limply into his arms. He sat in a leisurely posture, avoiding Mu Jin's unruly hands, and said indifferently: "How is he today?"

"Don't worry, my lord, Ah Jin really took good care of him." Mu Jin knelt beside him, held a piece of his sleeve and pressed it against him, smelling the faint fragrance of his body, "The medicine is indeed so strong. Very well, after just a few days, he has obviously worn out a lot, but Ah Jin is also really tired, the young master should take good care of Ah Jin."

Jiang Xuan smiled faintly, leaned over and picked up his chin, the distance between the two of them got closer, and whispered: "Why do you want me to love you?"

Rao Mujin, who is used to being in Fengyuechang, can't help being fascinated by Jiang Xuan at this time, his face is flushed, he blinked, stood up boldly and fell into Jiang Xuan's arms, teasing him familiarly , the voice said charmingly: "A Jin can also serve the young master very comfortably, and the young master can use Ah Jin as much as he wants."

Jiang Xuan's smile was still very weak, he looked straight at Mu Jin, took a panoramic view of the confusion in his eyes, slender fingers slid across his chin, and said softly: "Then what do you want?"

"A Jin knows that the young master will be the master of the Luo Dynasty in the future, and the only way out is to follow the young master." Mujin blew on his neck, thinking that he would be able to shake this person like a banishing fairy, "A Jin just wants to give himself a future Let's find a good place to go, in the future, Ah Jin will take good care of the young master, so why don't you keep Ah Jin?"

"You can see clearly." Jiang Xuan's breathing didn't change, he watched the man's hands and feet on him coldly, and laughed, "How do you know that my place is a good place?"

"A Jin and the young master are mutually beneficial. A Jin helps the young master to do things, and the young master gives A Jin money to redeem her body so that A Jin can live a better life, but A Jin guesses that the young master is not at ease and just let A Jin go like this? After all, A Jin But someone who knows many secrets of the young master." Mu Jin's eyes were shrewd and cunning, but she smiled sweetly, "So why don't you keep A Jin by your side? This way, you don't have to worry about A Jin talking nonsense, and A Jin also You can get what you want. Besides..." He stroked Jiang Xuan's Adam's apple twice, and said softly: "Besides, the young master will hurt people when he sees it. Ah Jin will definitely not suffer from following the young master."

Jiang Xuan had already seen through the smallness in his heart, and thought that he could negotiate conditions with himself, and regarded the so-called secret as a threat, asking him to support him for the rest of his life, and I am afraid that in the future, it will not only be as simple as asking for money , that kind of greedy eyes can't fool my own eyes.

"You are right. Letting you go is indeed not the best strategy. But you have said something wrong." Jiang Xuan's voice turned cold, and he pushed him onto the table, took out a dagger from his sleeve, and stared at him. It was nailed into his palm without blinking, and the scream in the ear did not move Jiang Xuan in the slightest, "I don't hurt people at all, and I am definitely not a good person. I even my brother You can take advantage of it, and send him to the Bai family to be tortured by others, what are you?"

Mu Jin was already convulsed by the pain, unable to speak a word, cold sweat fell down, Jiang Xuan pulled out the dagger, kicked him to the ground, and said: "I advise you to be more sensible and do your best. What you should do, I will guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you will no longer have to serve men, if you have unclean thoughts, I will make you die even uglier than Jiang Lianzhi."

"Yes..." Mu Jin was already trembling with fright, curled up on the ground and said timidly, "My lord... Ah Jin knows..."

Jiang Xuan called a servant and said: "Help him down to get some medicine. For the next two days, find someone else to take care of the young master, and wait until he recovers. If the young master asks, he will say that he is unwell." He glanced at Mujin again, "You find a way to make Jiang Lianzhi not lose interest in you so quickly. I heard that you are very good at playing hard to get in Yichun Pavilion. I hope you can also play well in front of Jiang Lianzhi. One point, don’t let yourself be useless for the last bit.”

Mu Jin swallowed her saliva, felt terrified looking at that elegant face, nodded her head and said: "Yes, Ah Jin understands."

After the young man supported the hibiscus to rest, Jiang Xuan leaned back on the chair a little tiredly, supported his head with his hand, picked up the tea but didn't take a sip for a long time.

It's not that he can't understand Mu Jin's small thoughts, in fact, this is also a poor person, just rolling in the mud, but he doesn't know when he started, he found that he no longer sympathized with anyone, and looked at everything with the same indifference.

It's like seeing him from the previous world.

He said to the boy guarding outside the water pavilion: "Bring a jug of wine."

The moonlight was clear, and the water surface was sparkling. Jiang Xuan poured himself wine, raised his head and drank it all, the smile on his mouth seemed to be contemptuous and mocking, and the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated. Somewhat fragile, like ice cracks on white porcelain.

It is said that people are not grass and trees, how can one be ruthless, but he feels that he has become a grass and tree now, ruthless and heartless, because he knows that in this world, love and heart are the most useless things, waiting for others to pity you It is always the most ridiculous choice to save you. You are always the one who dies first. Living itself is such a difficult thing, he thought, and there are many people like him in the world, and there are no people or things that can affect you. own heart.

He and his elder brother Jiang Yao are destined not to be the same people. He has no way to let himself keep the purest kindness forever, but only in this way can he live, and Jiang Yao can live. They always have a relationship. To be a bad person, to grind one's heart to be cold and ruthless.

The wine entered his throat, drunkenness welled up, he staggered, stood up abruptly, pushed away the support of the servant, held up the wine pot and poured wine into his throat, the wine slid over his chin and flowed down his neck It flowed into the collar and soaked the spotless white clothes. He walked along the wooden bridge in front of the waterside pavilion to the shore, his eyes were already hazy, and he had to squint his eyes to see clearly. He wanted to laugh, But he couldn't laugh, instead there were tears in his eyes.

He is used to hiding all his emotions in his heart. Even Jiang Yao thinks that his heart is so strong that he can calm down no matter what happens. In fact, he is not. Many times in the past, he also wanted to cry, but what is the use of just crying? , can crying change everything?

So he swallowed back his tears again and again, even though his heart was riddled with holes, he still forced himself to be indifferent, day after day, the pain became numb, and the pain would not be so painful.

The wooden bridge was not long, but he felt that no matter how he walked, he could not reach the end. He staggered, fell to the ground and got up again, as if he had done so much and put so much effort into the road he had traveled all these years. , but he couldn't make it to the end, he still wanted to hurt his elder brother, greet people he hated with a smile, and put on a show for everyone.

He is really tired, so tired...

At that moment, he suddenly didn't want to push himself anymore. Just this time, he said to himself, just this time, let him indulge once, and tomorrow he will be that ruthless Jiang Xuan again.

When he stumbled and fell to the ground again, he finally couldn't help letting the tears flow out. He sobbed softly at first, and then burst into tears. He poured wine into his mouth desperately, and spit it out when he couldn't drink, together with the tears Sliding down from his jaw in a mess, he cried until he couldn't breathe, coughing and drinking alcohol at the same time, thinking that he must be like a lunatic at this moment.

When the jug of wine was finally empty, he stopped with blank eyes, his clothes were in a mess, like himself, from body to heart.

He lowered his head, held back his tears, looked at the blood stains on the bridge with his fingers, and said softly, "Brother, wait for me, wait for me..."

In the middle of the night, Jiang Xuan didn't sleep either. After drinking the hangover soup, he became sober. He also changed into clean clothes and sat on a chair with his head propped up to wait for Lu Ying to come back. He knew that Lu Ying was looking for Jiang Yao. Maybe I can come back before dawn.

When the dawn was about to break, Lu Ying really came back, and she was a little surprised to see that Jiang Xuan hadn't slept all night.

Jiang Xuan still had the familiar indifference on his face, as if his gaffe last night was just a dream, he asked, "Has the antidote been delivered?"

"Yes." Lu Ying guessed that something must have happened last night, otherwise Jiang Xuan would have no reason to wait for the news overnight, "The subordinate put the antidote under the window of his residence and left a mark for him. He should be able to wake up in the morning." see."

Jiang Xuan didn't care at all how Lu Ying sneaked into the Soul Devouring Pavilion to send the antidote. He always only cared about the result. Jiang Lianzhi sent it, Mu Jin was injured and needs to recuperate for a while."

Lu Ying didn't dare to ask how Mu Jin was injured, and only replied, "Yes."

Seeing that Jiang Xuan closed his eyes as if he had nothing to say, Lu Ying was about to retreat when he heard Jiang Xuan say: "Luochaozong is the last way out for the Jiang family, and the people here should be absolutely loyal to you." From the Jiang family, why did you choose to obey me?"

Lu Ying was startled, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back, knelt down and replied: "At the beginning, the young master gave his subordinates to the young master, and he wanted the subordinates to obey the young master's orders, so the subordinates naturally only obeyed the young master's orders. Later... the subordinates should not need to say much, there are many people in the Luochao Sect who take orders from you, and you must know the reason."

Now that the daily affairs of Luo Chaozong need to go through Jiang Xuan's hands, Jiang Lianzhi's life has become more and more corrupt after the accident in Jiang's family, and his mind has become more distorted. He vented all his grievances on the bed, and has always been lazy to pay attention to these trivial matters, while Jiang Lianzhi Xuan was also able to slowly accumulate strength. The Luochaozong had people in charge of all kinds of affairs, and there were also many secret guards trained by the Jiang family. One does not live for oneself, everyone can see who Luo Chaozong is in the future, and they all know how to find a way for themselves.

Jiang Xuan pressed his temples, still a little tired after not sleeping all night, and said softly: "However, there are still a few who are not very interesting, I can give them another chance, if they are not interesting, I will accompany their young master to the underworld in the future Hell."

Lu Ying only felt that her fingers were a little cold, so she said bravely: "Yes, my subordinates will find someone to arrange, and try again."

Jiang Xuan waved his hand to signal him to go down, closed his eyes again, and took a nap on the chair for a while.

Hibiscus's injury has been healed for more than half a month. After using good medicine for scar removal, the wound is barely conspicuous. Jiang Xuan will send Jiang Lianzhi different people to serve him every day. He has been with Jiang Lianzhi for ten years. He knows Lianzhi's preferences clearly, and the people he finds are naturally suitable to his taste, but he doesn't know what kind of extraordinary skills Mu Jin has. Jiang Lianzhi has not forgotten this person, and he will ask him every now and then. One mouthful, and Mu Jin is also well versed in the way of playing hard to get, occasionally sending something, and then pretending to refuse or welcome, Jiang Lianzhi really misses Mu Jin even more.

"I didn't ask anyone to take medicine during this time, so he will remember you even more if you use it again." Jiang Xuan handed a new pack of medicine to Mu Jin, "You can leave in a month, I have given it to you in Shuzhou You don't have to worry about the money after you bought the house. What happens after that has nothing to do with you. "

Mu Jin now sees that Jiang Xuan is gone and approached deliberately before, as if wishing to get as far away from him as possible, the fear of that day is still hidden in his eyes, upon hearing this, he nodded in agreement, not daring to say anything.

Jiang Xuan frowned, he didn't expect to scare people like this, he thought that this appearance would displease Jiang Lianzhi, but he went to the door of the house to take a look, Mu Jin was still gentle and careless in front of Jiang Lianzhi, Sweet mouth can act like a baby, but to him is like a mouse meeting a cat.

This year is already the second year of the Jiang family's accident. Jiang Xuan took the note from Lu Ying's hand and looked at the situation of the secret guard's investigation. Those who are still loyal to the Jiang family seem to be impossible. I don't know. What kind of benefits did the Jiang family give to deserve their desperation? He had no expression on his face, put away the note and said, "There's no need to probe any further, let's do it directly when the time comes."

Lu Ying responded, and Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes, as if he was just being stabbed by the sun, but the look in his eyes was dangerous, and he said in a low voice: "We must do it this year, and there are still many things to do to kill Jiang Lianzhi." , Luo Chaozong is not so easy to clean up, and I have to gain a firm foothold in the future. I will take down the court and the rivers and lakes. If I don’t do it, it will be too slow. I can’t wait, and my brother can’t wait.”

At this time, Jiang Xuan was not yet a weak crown, but many people had forgotten that he was still a young man, the look in his eyes and the expression on his face had long since lost the innocence and innocence that should be at this age, and people around him would never see through What kind of thoughts are hidden under his quiet eyes.

When Jiang Xuan said that, Lu Ying knew it meant that Jiang Lianzhi only had a few months to live, and he would definitely die before winter came.

But Jiang Xuan only gave Jiang Lianzhi the last three months to survive in his heart. During these three months, he did a lot of things, every day secretly arranging the monitoring of several principals in the Luochaozong, gathering and dividing their forces , to further evade the power belonging to the Jiang family, and then let Jiang Lianzhi indulge in sensuality, slowly depleting his air and blood.

Mu Jin was sent away by him a month later, and this month was not easy for Mu Jin. When he left, his body probably suffered a lot of wear and tear, and there were injuries all over his body. You hired a doctor, go to Shuzhou to take good care of it, in the future...you don't have to do this kind of thing again."

"My lord, don't pity me." Mu Jin was not as afraid of him as she was a month ago, probably because she knew that she was going to be able to leave soon, so she had more confidence when talking to him, "Everything you do will have to pay a price, I'm a lowly person , To get out of such a life, this is the price I have to pay, I don't regret it, but I feel that I have earned it, after all, look at those people in Yichun Pavilion, am I not lucky?"

Jiang Xuan nodded lightly, Mu Jin looked at him, smiled, and said: "Actually, I feel sorry for you son, you seem to be unhappy every day, as if you have got what you want most, but you are still depressed. You don't even have one People have lost all their emotions and desires, living like a walking dead, not knowing what they really want, isn't it more pitiful than me?"

"I know what I want." Jiang Xuan's face turned cold, "You can go."

"No, you don't know." Mu Jin walked towards the carriage parked at the door, "I must have met more people than you, I can tell if there is desire in a person's eyes, you can't even tell what you want What, you are not happy when you come to a position of power. You just keep telling yourself to do something, and you can’t stop yourself. If you stop, you will probably die. If you want to live like this for the rest of your life, then you Pitiful."

After finishing speaking, Mu Jin didn't wait for Jiang Xuan to say anything, opened the curtain of the carriage and went straight into the carriage, and Jiang Xuan didn't speak any more, turned around and walked back indifferently, only laughed after a long time, but swallowed when he wanted to say something. went back.

He didn't feel the need to say it, that's all.

If a person has only one thing left to do in this world, and he doesn't know how to live, that's really sad.

Jiang Xuan also pays attention to the movement of the Bai family on weekdays. He occasionally follows the Bai family when they go out, and takes a look from a distance where Jiang Yao can't see, watching Jiang Yao fight with others and get injured He just shook off the blood without saying a word, and watched that the Bai family sometimes made things difficult for Jiang Yao on purpose.

Once he learned that the Bai family was coming to Qizhou, and turned the inn they would pass by before entering the city into his own property. The guy told the Bai family that the boss had reserved a room on the third floor for his own use, and the other rooms could be used freely , Jiang Xuan silently observed Jiang Yao who came with the Bai family in that room.

At that time, the Bai family probably wanted to find out the whereabouts of some evidence from Jiang Yao's mouth. They blamed Jiang Yao in every possible way and beat Jiang Yao with a stick with a thick arm, and then made Jiang Yao kneel in the yard. Chains all night.

He was watching upstairs, quietly watching Jiang Yao being beaten until he vomited blood. He had to be whipped, fell down again and again and bit his lip again and again to force himself to straighten up, enduring all the pain.

Jiang Yao knelt all night. He drank tea upstairs all night. He didn't know what he was thinking. At dawn, his palms were covered with bloodstains from fingernails, mottled and dripping, and a piece of nail was broken, but he didn't notice it. , didn't feel pain, and didn't seem to be that sad, because his eye sockets were very dry and there was no tear.

He thought to himself, what Mu Jin said was right, he was indeed becoming more and more like a walking dead, and after being numb for a long time, he lost all feeling.

Three months later, the servant serving Jiang Lianzhi told him tremblingly that Jiang Lianzhi had passed out on the bed. He said "Oh" lightly, sat on the chair and poured himself a cup of tea, calm as if he was in bed. Talking about what to eat later, he said to Lu Ying, "Let's do it."

The unconscious Jiang Lianzhi was chained in an iron cage. Luo Chaozong was in chaos all night and killed people when he saw blood. People fled, and those who failed to leave were escorted and knelt down in front of him.

He was already a little tired, and the voices in his ears were far and near. Hearing those people scolding him for being heartless and ungrateful, he just felt very noisy. He wanted to rest and take a long sleep.

So he came down with the dagger and inserted it into a person's neck without saying a word, watching the blood gushing out and splashing on the sleeve of his white clothes with cold eyes, he looked at the person next to him again, and asked, "Did he just now What did you say?"

The man seemed to be petrified, and subconsciously replied: "He said that Jiang Xuan is just a lowly slave of the Jiang family, and he dares to dream of being the master."

Jiang Xuan nodded, wiped the dagger on the man's clothes, and said expressionlessly: "Thank you, I didn't hear clearly just now."

As soon as the words fell, the dagger flipped over, directly cutting the man's throat, and another stream of blood splashed on his sleeve.

He walked up to the third person again, wiped off the blood from the dagger wound first, and asked, "Have you read the letter sent to you by the dark guard before?"

"Look, have seen..."

"That's why you don't want to listen to me." Jiang Xuan sighed, and stabbed cleanly again, blood dripped from his sleeves, and the front was also stained with blood splatter, and the simple and elegant white clothes were stained with blood. , "I only give it one chance, if you miss it, there will be no second time."

The fourth person was so frightened that his eyes became dizzy, he said eagerly: "Young Master, Young Master, my subordinates are willing to treat you as the master, and my subordinates are willing to..."

Jiang Xuan looked at him and smiled. The man thought he had escaped, but he didn't expect Jiang Xuan to stab the dagger in with a smile like that, stirred it slowly twice, and whispered in his ear: " But you don’t think so in your heart, I don’t like people who are duplicity.”

The room was silent, and the smell of blood wafted in everyone's nostrils. Jiang Xuan looked down at the horror on his clothes, threw away the dagger, yawned, and said, "Help me with the rest, I'm tired." gone."

Jiang Xuan's tone was flat and casual, as if he was just exhausted after drinking water, but the people in the room were already terrified, and even Lu Ying took a long time to react, and in response, he walked to the middle of the room with a few hidden guards, He raised his knife and killed the rest of the people.

That day, everyone in the Luochao Sect was in danger, but Jiang Xuan really went to sleep until Lu Ying came to him and said, "Jiang Lianzhi woke up."

Jiang Xuan walked over slowly, pulled up a chair and sat next to the iron cage, watching Jiang Lianzhi glaring at him in the cage with a smile on his lips, probably yelling something before, the dark guard thought it was too noisy, Covering his mouth, Jiang Xuan kindly removed the gag cloth, avoiding his spit, shook his head and said: "It's already like this, don't mess with me."

"When did you start doing this?" Jiang Lianzhi had basically figured things out, and it seemed meaningless to say that he was too late to regret. Pretend."

"Young master, you don't need to praise me so much. Even if I don't know how to pretend, I'm afraid I can't find any problems with my young master's brain." Jiang Xuan said with a smile, "Jiang's family is quite smart, but you are an idiot, young master. I can only blame my luck, right?"

Jiang Lianzhi took a deep breath, calmed down, and said: "I guess some people still ran away, right? I can help you find them. From now on, you can also make decisions in the Luochaozong. I can also find them on your brother's side." Someone brought him back..."

"Young master, is this willing to be my puppet?" Jiang Xuan laughed, "I might have considered it a few years ago, but now... I really don't have this interest. What's more, the conditions proposed by the young master are not enough. It moved me, those who ran away were nothing to me to fear, they would be dead anyway sooner or later, Luo Chaozong could only have one master, wouldn’t putting one person by my side just cause trouble for me?

Every day, I want to kill you immediately, talk to you, and greet you with a smile. It makes me sick to the core."

Jiang Lianzhi looked at him and smiled, and said: "Do you hate me for playing with you? Or is it about your brother? You are slaves bought by my Jiang family. No matter what I do to you, there is nothing wrong with you. You should be obedient." Accept it, it seems that I have always been too kind to you, which made you feel unwilling."

"Yes, I'm not reconciled." Jiang Xuan's eyes stared at him like sharp knives, "So you must die."

Jiang Lianzhi didn't care anymore, and said, "Then you kill me."

"I haven't finished talking yet." Jiang Xuan sneered, "You must die, but I won't let you die too easily. I want you to taste that life is worse than death."

Jiang Xuan seemed to be watching a prey in a cage, inspecting every part of Jiang Lianzhi's body, and said, "What do you think should be cut first? For the first time, I can let you make your own choice."

Jiang Lianzhi's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Jiang Xuan, you bastard! If it weren't for the Jiang family, you would have died of illness, you..."

"You are really noisy." Jiang Xuan frowned, "Since this
