In the Drinking Water Hall, everyone bandaged up their wounds and rested separately.

The loss this time was considered huge, with many casualties and injuries. Although Duan Yelin gave a lot of compensation, in the end, human lives are still at stake.

Waking up from this sleep, Duan Yelin felt that his hands were a bit heavy, and turned his head to see that Xu Hang was leaning against the bedside and fast asleep, with his head pressed against his arm.

His side face was very comfortable, and there was a slight wrinkle between his brows. Duan Yelin reached out his hand to smooth it out for him, but stopped before he touched it.

Shaotang.

He always remembered how Qiyuan Shaoyao met and entangled with this amazing young man that year.Thinking about it now, when we first met, he was dressed in pink and ink, and he never wiped off his pink and ink in four years.

He thought he had already brought Xu Hang in the play, but in fact, he and Xu Hang were both still in the play.

It's just a pity that after singing for so long, he still doesn't know what the book is.

Xu Hang made a muffled sound, then frowned, slowly opened his eyes, met Duan Yelin's gaze, then straightened up, his voice was hoarse: "Are you hungry?"

He beat his shoulder slightly, sitting and sleeping made his back ache and slightly uncomfortable.

Duan Yelin shook his head, smiled lightly, grabbed Xu Hang's hand, and brought him to his body. When Xu Hang woke up, he was naturally defenseless and threw himself on him, hitting his chest.

"You..." Xu Hang didn't dare to move, so he put on a doctor's majesty and said, "Be careful of the wound."

"It's okay, you are very light."

The two of them lay there for a while without speaking.

"Shaotang, have you ever thought about leaving me?" Duan Yelin stroked Xu Hang's hair.

It was a very nonsensical sentence, Xu Hang was a little confused by his question, maybe the thrill of last night caused some changes in Duan Yelin's heart, and he began to worry about gains and losses.

Xu Hang listened to his heartbeat faster than usual, his eyes drooped: "Think."

Duan Yelin's heart skipped a beat.

"When I first arrived at Xiaotongguan, I really thought about it every day."

An inexplicable feeling lingered between the two of them. Duan Yelin followed Xu Hang's arm and touched the back of his hand: "When I went to the battlefield, I didn't worry about it. If I thought about death, I would die. Is it worth it or not? But last night, I was really a little scared, I was afraid that if I died, you would be sad, and I was afraid that if I died, you would not be sad. "

If it is really compared, he may be more afraid of the latter.

"Good people don't live long, but evils last for thousands of years. You will live long." Xu Hang said in a low voice.

Duan Yelin, who was scolded as a disaster, laughed so hard that his chest trembled, and helped Xu Hang up again: "I really didn't expect to be saved by you. I have always been used to protecting you, but I didn't expect to be saved by you." , One day, I will also fall to the point of being saved by you."

The corner of Xu Hang's mouth twitched: "Why, not reconciled?"

"No, I'm very happy." Duan Yelin began to talk to Xu Hang, "You don't know, when we first met, every time you looked at me, you wanted to kill me. At that time, you Just looking at me, it's like a piece of flesh has been dug out of my heart."

Looking back on the past, Duan Yelin felt a little emotional, and he patted Xu Hang: "Shaotang, after this incident, we can be regarded as 'death and life, and talk to Zicheng', from now on, we can no longer hide, be honest live on?"

The scorching body temperature was continuously transmitted from Duan Yelin's palm to Xu Hang's body with enthusiastic expectations. The warmth touched the heartstrings.

Xu Hang lowered his head: "I..."

frankly.

Can't do it.

Xu Hang suddenly felt that his hand was hot and pulled it back immediately.

"I need to change the medicine for my hand. I'll go out first and look after the medicine for you later."

Xu Hang, who walked out of the room, didn't notice the disappointment gradually rising in Duan Yelin's eyes, just like a meteor falling into a quagmire, swallowed by the light.

Outside the house is a whole row of medicine jars, where all the wounded soldiers are placed.

Xu Hang never thought that it would end like this in the end. After all, Shanghai Beach is not Hezhou City. He was too impatient this time.

He also hung some color, Xu Hang looked at the palm of his hand, the flesh turned out, at least half a month to raise, the hand trembled slightly, the meridian was connected to the place above the arm, twitching.

He quickly reached into his pocket, took out some leaf-like things and stuffed them into his mouth to chew.The leaves were astringent and bitter, he swallowed them and felt better.

When Xiao Yan came in smoking a cigar, he saw Xu Hang standing in the yard, staring at the medicine jar in a daze, and couldn't help but smile: "What's the matter, Young Master Xu, do you think you made a mistake?"

"..."

"Okay, sober up, Zhang Yaochen and I have been fighting for so long before we can evenly divide the world in Shanghai Bund, if you really hit it off like this, wouldn't it appear that I am too incompetent?"

Xu Hang took the cattail fan and fanned it lightly: "Success or failure is not important, it's just that innocent people are still innocent."

"You don't have to blame yourself too much. Originally, Duan Yelin and Zhang Yaochen were bound to have a battle, but you just moved this battle forward." Xiao Yan comforted, "Why don't you think about it, what should you do next?"

"How is the Zhang family?"

"Zhang Xiuming broke his leg, so he is useless. Fortunately, he made such a fuss at the pier and caused public resentment. The higher-ups are very dissatisfied with their private transfer of troops. Now Zhang Yaochen's power is temporarily withheld."

"Why did the shootout at the pier become such a big deal? Since Zhang Xiuming dared to do it, he should be able to deal with it."

"Because someone found a large amount of opium on the wrecked ship that was blown up at the pier afterwards. This was first discovered by the common people, and it was widely spread. The gunfight could also find excuses for the prisoners, but when the opium appeared, This matter can't be simple. What's more, many people watched the soldiers leading the soldiers haunt the pier last night, even if Zhang Yaochen wanted to find someone to suppress him, it was too late, so he was punished."

Xu Hang glanced at him: "You are really good at making up for this drama."

Xiao Yan crossed his waist for a while: "You still don't thank me? Although the bleeding is a little big, the ban on smoking in Shanghai Beach will be in the limelight for a long time. The order was issued early this morning, and all the cigarettes found in the city will be taken to the suburbs Burned, and now the opium can't be found in Shanghai Beach, and all the cigarette dealers will hate Zhang Yaochen to death."

The implication is that he can't move for the time being.

The medicine stove beeped, and the hot air lifted the lid of the medicine jar. Xu Hang looked at it for a while: "I don't know what to do now, let's do this first, and wait until Duan Yelin recovers from his injury. Anyway, Zhang's family ate so much. It’s a big loss, we won’t be inactive, we’ll just wait.”

The words were very casual, but Xiao Yan looked at Xu Hang from the smoke rings he exhaled, and always felt that there were a little more complicated emotions in his lowered eyes.

In the past, he was calm and shrewd, but now he seems to be chaotic and confused.

Xiao Yan didn't want to cause trouble, anyway, he had already done what he promised to help Xu Hang, so he said, "That's fine, I'll go in for you and lie to Duan Yelin, and we'll settle the matter."

The Yan Gang's help this time is thanks to Shen Jingmo's blessing, which makes sense.

"I'm afraid this lie won't be good enough. This time, I was reckless, and I showed too many lies."

Xu Hang sat on a small low stool, buried his face between his knees, and fell into a faint gloom.

What he was always thinking about was the intersection of Wuhua Tianbao, he gave up the chance to kill Zhang Yaochen, and reined in his horse, he thought he was just returning Duan Yelin's favor, why would it be useless to regret it even if he thought about it now.

It's not like him to bear the humiliation, the prisoner of the beautiful garden, the fire that burns the city.

He's getting stupid.

Although Xu Hang was sitting with his head bowed, suddenly a figure stood in front of him. When he raised his head, he saw Qiao Daosang standing there glaring.

This time, Qiao Daosang, who came here specially from other places, couldn't help thinking about Duan Yelin. Although he was dissatisfied with Duan Yelin's disregard for the overall situation, he couldn't really watch him die.

He glared at Xu Hang, but said nothing, turned around and walked into the house.Duan Yelin's legs were still tied with braces, and he couldn't move. Qiao Daosang didn't want to punish him, he just blew his beard and stared.

"I reminded you last time, why don't you listen? That guy will kill you sooner or later, do you believe it now?"

"Fourth Uncle," Duan Yelin knew he was wrong, and his tone softened, "I said it last time, but this is the only thing I can't ignore."

Qiao Daosang stepped on the edge of the bed, leaning his elbows on his knees, and stared at Duan Yelin with experienced eyes: "Don't say that my fourth uncle looks down on him. It's not that my fourth uncle has never seen such a habit in the rivers and lakes. Fourth uncle doesn't dislike him." He is not a woman. But you are different, you are the commander, and your gun must be used with your life on the battlefield! It is not used for the love of children! Do you understand?"

Duan Yelin let out a long sigh: "Fourth Uncle, let's not be an example, will it work?"

"Don't be an example! Next time, you will definitely be the same as now!"

Qiao Daosang really wanted to kill this scourge for Duan Yelin, but he knew he couldn't do that, and he couldn't hurt Duan Yelin so radically.

"You have always been very smart, why can't you see how much trouble you have caused since that guy was by your side? You didn't die this time, maybe you will die next time!"

Duan Yelin listened attentively, but he couldn't correct this mistake: "Fourth Uncle, it's not that I'm not smart, it's just that I've already done so when I regained my sanity."

Facing Xu Hang, he is always emotional.It's like an instinct, and people can't defy the instinct.

Qiao Daosang put down his foot, sat on the edge of the bed, and patted his arm: "Ye Lin, when I went to other places this time, I happened to pass through the middle of the country, so I went to Shu City by the way. Although I stayed for a short time, but Know something interesting, are you interested in hearing it?"

Duan Yelin's eyelashes flickered, obviously because of the desire in his ears.

Qiao Daosang smiled: "That kid named Xu Hang, didn't he say he came from Shu City? Is his ancestral home there? I met a Miaozhu from Shu City, and he said that there is no family name in Shu City. Xu's family."

Inside the quilt, Duan Yelin's hands suddenly clenched tightly.

"I was afraid that Miaozhu was getting old and his memory was bad. I went to the ancestral hall and looked through the surname tablets of hundreds of families in Shu City. There is indeed no one with the surname Xu. Think about it carefully, if you are really a young master of a family, how can you Maybe there is no place for their surnames in the ancestral temple?!"

With Jin Hongchang's net worth, his sister must be able to marry someone who is not bad, and it must have been a prominent family more than [-] years ago, but how could such a big surname just disappear?

Either Xu Hang is not from Shucheng; or, he is not 'Xu Hang' at all.

Regardless of which point, Xu Hang must have lied to him.

Duan Yelin coughed twice to conceal the shock in his heart, and asked, "What else?"

"No, I didn't continue to investigate." Qiao Daosang took off the pipe at his waist and stuffed tobacco into it, "This is your business, and it's up to you to decide in the end, so I'll ask you, do you still want to?" Check it out?"

Checking down means that there may be truth.The truth often means cruelty and tearing, it means breaking the peace, it means exposing everything.

If it's all a misunderstanding, you might as well check it out, but...

In the past, Duan Yelin could investigate but didn't, because he didn't want to touch the past that Xu Hang didn't want to be known, but now, this unknown seems to have become an unreasonable suspicion and barrier between him and Xu Hang. It's difficult to cross, but it won't disappear if you don't cross it.

Early is also a knife, and late is also a knife.

"Fourth Uncle," Duan Yelin closed his eyes and made a decision, "Let's check."

Qiao Daosang was very satisfied with Duan Yelin's reply, took a few puffs of cigarettes, smiled and went out.

Qiao Song, who had stood at the door for a long time holding a medicine jar, walked in. He heard all the conversations just now, and was also a little surprised by Duan Yelin's final decision.

"Commander, you..."

"Are you surprised that I began to suspect Shaotang?"

Qiao Song lowered his head and just pounded the medicine. In fact, he didn't know what to say. He raised his head after pounding for a while, "I thought, Young Master Xu came to save you. This is the time when you two have the best relationship."

Duan Yelin held his forehead, feeling a dull pain. In fact, it was more uncomfortable in his heart: "Speaking of him coming to save me, I remembered it. Last night...his marksmanship is very good, can you see it?"

The hand of Qiao Song holding the medicine trembled slightly, trying to say something but still not saying the original words.

Pegasus shot, full of surprise.However, this is not the first time Qiao Song has seen it.

"Commander, people will always act surprisingly when they are in a hurry, so don't think too much."

"It's not that I thought too much, maybe I didn't think too much before. The prisoner became the rescuer, and the rescuer became the rescued. These things have gradually exceeded my expectations."

Qiao Song frowned: "But, didn't you rescue everyone last night because of Lord Ghost? Didn't Lord Ghost invite Shen Jingmo? What's so weird about it?"

Duan Yelin felt that he had lost his wisdom for four years and finally returned home today, and said, "If Xiao Yan is really willing to save people, why didn't you come and discuss the countermeasures with me in advance? Obviously, joining forces with me would be the safest , but he just did it himself?"

"he……"

"Okay, let's assume that Xiao Yan's character is that he likes to be alone, so how can Qiyan Villa explain it? We checked in Shanghai Beach for a few days, and we still had to go to Zhangjia Manor to check it out. He was so sure. Where are people locked up?"

Qiao Song was taken aback by the words.

Duan Yelin waved his hand, used medicine to make him drowsy, and he was a little tired after speaking.In fact, there are still many doubts that he didn't say, such as Shen Jingmo not asking himself first, such as Chanyi's worries that he didn't reveal at all, such as...

Check it, check it.

Let the truth come to light, let the truth come to light, and let the coffin be concluded.

Whether this torture is true or not, he began to want to know.
