Return or not

Liu Yan fell into a dreamland, and also fell into Ying Shuo's memory.

In the brothel, "Drink, my lord, have another glass" "Young master's huge volume" "Young master, would you like me to accompany you today?"

The gorgeous women competed to drink wine, Ying Shuo smiled and had a glass here, a pot there, his handsome face was flushed, but he was not drunk, after a few minutes of drinking, Ying Shuo pushed away all the beauties and walked upstairs, " He went to find Yueling again." "I really envy Yueling" "Who made him the leader?" "Young Master Ying can really drink, he's not drunk at all" "It doesn't look like a son of an official family, but he's really rich and spends a lot of money And he is very knowledgeable, and he is a master at playing the piano!" "That is, otherwise, how could he be Yue Ling's guest of honor!"

Ying Shuo ignored these discussions, walked to the top attic, and the waiters at the door gave way one after another. Ying Shuo walked up, "Yueling, are you there?" Ling put down his pen and came up to meet him. Yingshuo embraced Yueling, "Yueling, your handwriting is so beautiful!" Yueling nodded his nose, "You are so smooth-tongued, how do you know without reading?" Yingshuo shook his head, "Don't look, Everyone says that your writing is like a person, you are so beautiful, so of course your writing is also beautiful!"

Yue Ling was amused by him, "poor mouth" The two of them were just joking together, but they had never had a physical relationship, which also made Yue Ling admire. Other men were greedy for her beauty and swore each other, but Ying Shuo gave her a solid relationship. Feel.

Ying Shuo leaned closer to her, "What did you use to wash your hair? It smells so good?" Yue Ling pushed him away, "It's just saponins, what's the smell?" got up and continued writing.

Yingshuo chuckled, "With such a beautiful woman as company, why do you need concubines?" Yue Ling blushed, "Don't talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart." Yingshuo laughed, "I'm serious, my father forced me to get married again, I said I won’t marry for the rest of my life, but I still insist on going on a blind date! Isn’t it enough to have you?”

Yueling felt sour when she realized what "married? You have reached this age", after all, she is a brothel woman, her background is not right, she is not worthy of Yingshuo.

Ying Shuo didn't realize it, "I don't want to marry a wife! How happy I am now! Those so-called ladies from all over the world are nothing but gold and jade, but they are among them. Husband and son, bound by etiquette and righteousness, extremely boring!"

Yue Ling wanted to ask, "Then what do you think of me?" But she didn't ask, she just asked, "This should be the appearance of every lady, if you don't like it, then what do you like?"

"You are like this..." Ying Shuo approached with a smile, Yue Ling put down the pen, and really wanted to tear Ying Shuo's mouth, "I teach you nonsense!" Ying Shuo smiled, "So I need you to help me put on a look of obsession." Like the playboy of a brothel girl"

It turns out that I was just your excuse...

"Okay..." Yue Ling agreed.

Ying Shuo put a kiss between her eyebrows, "Thank you, I'll come see you tomorrow"

Yueling watched him leave from the pavilion, "Yingshuo, what place do I occupy in your heart?"

When Yingshuo returned home, the pavilions and pavilions in his house were meticulously crafted, and at first glance he knew that the decorations were only found in rich people's homes.

"Father, mother, I'm back!" Ying Shuo deliberately pretended to drink too much, and yelled as soon as he entered the door, the butler came up to greet him, "Oh, young master, why are you drinking like this again?"

Yingshuo's mother came out quickly, "Suo'er, why did you drink so much? Butler, go and make sober soup." Yingshuo asked, "Where's dad?" His mother supported Yingshuo, "Your dad, what's the matter? , and brought a few hidden guards, but I don’t know what to do.”

As he spoke, Ying Shuo was helped into the room and sat down, the maid brought a glass of water, Ying Shuo drank it, "Mother, I'm fine, what did you just say about dad?" Just as he was speaking, the butler ran in rashly.

"What's the matter? In such a hurry?" The butler panted, "No, it's not good, master, master... he's injured!" "Injured? Go and have a look!" The three of them hurried out, while his father was holding his hands His arms were bandaging his legs and feet again. Yingshuo hurriedly checked his father's injuries. The injuries were serious, as if he had been shot by some sharp object. Yingshuo asked, "Father, what did you do? How did you get hurt like this?"

Yingshuo's father smelled the smell of alcohol, and he was even more furious, "You prodigal son! I entrusted my family to look for you, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Are you looking for that top card again?!?!" Because of anger, the wound opened even more. After the doctor bandaged the leg, he hurriedly stopped the bleeding on the arm.

Ying Shuo didn't care, his eyes were fierce, "Whoever made a move, I'll kill him." Seeing that he was no longer joking, his father sighed, "My family has been hiding in the dark all year round to protect the safety of the royal family, but Being suppressed by other Ming forces is not a long-term solution.”

"So you're going to steal the organ technique?" Yingshuo guessed it, his father bowed his head and didn't speak, Yingshuo continued on his behalf, "You know the power of the organ technique will pose a threat to our future status." His father didn't say anything, One of the hidden guards answered, "The master actually just wanted to blow up the organ pavilion, and he would only be injured if he was discovered."

"I'll go." Ying Shuo volunteered, "I'll make mechanism tricks disappear from now on." His father looked suspicious, "Boy, don't be brave. You usually only know how to drink and have fun, and you have never danced with a knife." Ying Shuo smiled confidently, "Deal with them." You don’t have to wield knives and guns,” he quietly clenched his right hand.

The phantom is like a phantom, traveling through the night, Ying Shuo came to the door, and there were people guarding the door, looking at the plaque above from a distance, "Aristocratic Family", he smiled disdainfully, and flew up to the eaves without a sound, the person at the door shuddered, and looked around. Looking around, Ying Shuo was completely covered in darkness, and the few people didn't notice it at all.

Yingsuo smiled, and let it fall gently. The inside is very big. After all, it is an aristocratic family with extravagant luxury. Yingsuo walked and admired it. When he walked into the garden, there were pavilions, towers and pavilions, which were extremely elegant. It's too beautiful to enjoy the scenery alone." He continued to walk in, slowly, as if he was here to play.

After passing through many pavilions, Yingshuo found a tower that was guarded by many people. There were many people patrolling here. Yingshuo smiled, "This is it." He approached slowly, stood still, and observed the regularity of their guard changing for a while. and terrain.

They found that they changed every half an hour. Although there were many people during the changing of the guard, they basically gathered at the entrance of the tower, and the defenses in other places were lax. Yingshuo estimated that when the changing of the guard was about to happen, he sneaked behind the tower and waited for the opportunity.

Sure enough, when changing guards, they counted the number of people at the door and handed over tokens. With a light kung fu, Yingshuo stepped on the cornice and ran up a few steps. When he reached the third floor, he stepped on a tile, which triggered the mechanism. Hidden arrows shot out from inside, Ying Shuo didn't expect it, but he was agile, he dodged three of them, but he didn't expect that there was another one, it passed his arm and flew into the woods.

A few swords flew into the woods, and the sound of shooting on the tree aroused suspicion. The two came here to check, Ying Shuo hurriedly walked to one side, "Gu Gu, Gu Gu"

"Maybe it's just an owl flying through the woods, don't worry about it, let's go, it's time to patrol," said one, and they returned to the line.

Yingshuo's arm was injured, and he was a little bit unwilling, "It's a family of institutions, and there are even institutions outside the house, so you can't be careless." He continued to walk up, and when he reached the eighth floor, he lifted a few tiles, looked inside, and found There were already rows of bookshelves, Yingshuo let down the rope, slowly hung down, and slid down along the rope.

Looking at these books, Yingshuo felt that it would be a pity to set them on fire, but he couldn't take them away, so he secretly took five books from the main bookshelf and continued to go up.After groping for a long time, he finally found the secret passage. He went up slowly and reached the ninth floor.

The ninth floor is full of weapons, traps, military supplies such as catapults, explosives, and all kinds of swords, all of which have been modified. Yingshuo didn't dare to touch it, so he quietly opened fire. Control, as long as they are ignited, they will be destroyed.

Ying Shuo approached slowly, carefully observed whether there were traps, threw the fire on the wood, and instantly ignited a big fire.Ying Shuo hurriedly returned to the eighth floor and went out from the original place. Just as he walked outside, "Bang!" The entire tower was almost covered in flames. It was estimated that the flames had ignited the explosives. Water! Hurry up and put out the fire!"

A few people had already gone to inform the head of the family. Seeing that something was wrong, Ying Shuo took advantage of the chaos to run away, just in time to be hit by someone who came to investigate, "Come on, the murderer is here!" Ying Shuo left quickly. He was about to throw off the pursuer, but one person followed him, and the two started a tug-of-war of endurance.

It was getting brighter, Ying Shuo was standing on the tree to rest, the man saw Ying Shuo stopped, and he stopped too, there was a short distance between the two, only a few trees separated, Ying Shuo was leaning on the tree, lazily "Hey, you've been chasing me for so long, aren't you tired!" The man replied, "You are good at martial arts, but you can't escape!" The bandages on Ying Shuo's hands gradually peeled off, "Really? Then I-- Don't run away!"

With one palm, the trees were completely destroyed, and all were broken at the waist. The man dodged again and again, avoiding the fallen trees, not to be outdone, drew his sword out of its sheath, and flew up to the treetops.Ying Shuo dodged cleverly, the man chopped the sword, Ying Shuo closed his palms, and caught the sword, the two of them were fiercely opposed, the man exerted a little force, Ying Shuo stepped aside, the man was instantly emptied, Ying Shuo Seizing the opportunity, he slapped his back with a palm, and the man spat out a mouthful of blood, barely supporting himself with his sword.

Ying Shuo smiled, "You are not my opponent, you are a guy who can only use brute force" Ying Shuo was about to leave, his arm was stabbed, "Oh no, the wound is open" Ying Shuo covered his arm, and when he was about to leave, suddenly there was a burst of pain. Dizzy, "It's over, I've been tricked." Ying Shuo knelt down and looked at his hands that had turned purple.

The man got up staggeringly, "Hmph, my goal was never to catch you, just to get rid of you."

The man had applied poison to the blade in advance, as long as it touched the skin, it would be poisoned, and Ying Shuo touched the wound with his hands, the poison spread even faster.

The man took out a cylindrical object from behind, marked it out, threw it to Ying Shuo's side, and fled quickly.

Yingshuo wanted to struggle, but his vision became more and more blurred. He only felt a white light and a deafening explosion, and then lost consciousness.

Consciousness gradually became clear. When he woke up, he found himself lying on a bed. He covered his head and sat up reluctantly, but felt that his face seemed to have been bandaged. He stumbled to the mirror and found that his face was tightly wrapped by bandages. , leaving only the eyes and other organs unpacked.Ying Shuo couldn't believe it, "Bang!" He shattered the mirror with his fist, and sat down on the ground in a state of desperation.

The people outside seem to have heard the movement, and a woman in purple walked in with a bowl, "Are you awake?" Ying Shuo looked at her dejectedly, "Did you save me?" The woman put down the bowl, "It wasn't me, the master saved me." You?" "Master?" Ying Shuo asked.

"Do you want to see him? He's not here now. Send me to deliver medicine to you. Drink the medicine." The woman was about to help him up, but he pushed him away. "Don't touch me!" The woman ignored him and insisted on helping him up. "Master asked me to take good care of you, I have to complete the task" forced him back to the bed, took the medicine, "drink the medicine" Ying Shuo turned his head away, with a gloomy face.

Seeing that he didn't drink, the woman felt helpless, "Take the medicine to get better." Ying Shuo responded coldly, "You are so troublesome, leave me alone." The woman put down the medicine, "I'll put the medicine here, you'd better drink it quickly. Cold is not good for the stomach”

The woman went out, Ying Shuo observed the environment, the place was very quiet, it shouldn't be a small family, but there were not many waiters, Ying Shuo moved his right hand, nothing happened, the wound on his arm was healed After taking care of it, Yingshuo thought: Is this all bandaged up by the woman just now?

Who is the master in her mouth?

Why do you want to save me?

Where is this place?

A series of questions came to mind, and suddenly remembered something, touched his chest, and found that the stolen book was gone, Ying Shuo was a little flustered, and wanted to get out of bed to look for it, when the woman came in again, "Where are you going? Be careful of the wound"

Ying Shuo asked, "Where's my book?" The woman was puzzled, "Book?" Ying Shuo continued, "It's the book I put in my arms, it's very important!" The woman wanted to explain something, but at this moment, a gentle voice A voice rang out, "Are these books?"

The woman immediately lowered her head and stepped back to the side. "Master" Yingsuo saw the person coming. He was a fairy, dressed in white clothes, with long hair up to his waist, face like powder, long and narrow phoenix eyes, and vermilion lips. Yingsuo was a little dazed. .

The man frowned at the cold medicine, picked it up, and handed it to the woman, his thin lips slightly parted, "Iris, cook another bowl of medicine, this medicine is cold." "Yes" Iris backed out.

The man put the book on the table, "Is it these?" Ying Shuo was a little embarrassed, "Yes... yes"

The man walked up to him and checked the wound on his arm, "It seems that Bailicao is still useful, the poison is gone, and the wound heals quickly." "Bailicao?" Ying Shuo was a little surprised, "Isn't that fairy grass?"

He smiled, "It's just a plant of grass, there's no need to call it a fairy grass." He looked at Ying Shuo's face, and then at the broken mirror, "Why, you used the mirror to vent your anger when you were hurt?" He picked it up The fragments were carefully assembled into the frame, and with a flick of the hand, the mirror surface was as bright as new.

Ying Shuo stared blankly, the man pointed the mirror at him, the reflected light hurt his eyes, but he didn't avoid it, "If you don't even have the courage to face yourself, then you are not even as good as the image in the mirror Ying Shuo was stunned, looking at the bandaged face in the mirror.

"My name is Lihuang, your name..." The pleasant voice came to my ears, and Yingshuo replied reflexively, "Yingshuo, a member of the Shadow Clan." Li Huang didn't express any surprise, "So he's from the Shadow Clan."

Ying Shuo was a little surprised, "You know?" Li Huang smiled slightly, "I have heard about it." Iris came in with the medicine, "Master, the medicine is ready." Li Huang took the bowl, "Come on, go get some lights for the guests. Come on, it's too dark at night after all" Iris nodded "Yes"

Lihuang gently scooped up the medicine with a spoon, Yingshuo turned his head "I can drink it myself" and wanted to take it with his hands, but he couldn't lift his injured arm at all.I can only hold the bowl with one hand and barely finish the drink.Lihuang looked at him who was stubborn, shook his head, and helped him to lie down, "You can live in Huanlingxuan first, and have a good rest, Iris will change your bandages for you every day" and went out with the medicine, Iris put down the lamp , also left.

Faintly heard Lihuang's voice, "It's been a hard day today, let's go rest." "Yes, the master is tired too, I'll make a pot of Baili tea to soothe the nerves." "No need, save it for the injured Ying Shuo."

So, every day, Iris made Baili medicine soup for Yingshuo and changed his bandages. Lihuang was not seen often, and Lihuang only came to greet him occasionally. Whenever at this time, Iris would always explain indifferently, "I'm just his servant." Iris seemed to only respect Lihuang as a servant, and there was no trace of admiration, but Yingshuo herself was in the indifference of Lihuang. Quietly fell, and felt peace in him.

A few months later, Yingshuo removed the bandage, and his arm was able to move freely, but his right hand was still wrapped in a bandage as before, but his face was left with a large area of ​​burns.

One morning, when Li Huang came back from the back mountain, he saw Ying Shuo standing in front of Wutong Pavilion, wearing a black robe, and the hood of the black robe covered most of his face.

Li Huang threw something at him, "This is for you." Ying Shuo took it and saw that it was a mask, "This is it?" Li Huang explained, "This is the herbal medicine I picked in the back mountain, and the medicine should be mixed into this mask. Can help your face get back to normal, with enough herbs in it, it should heal your wounds"

Ying Shuo took off his hat and put on the mask carefully, the size was appropriate, Ying Shuo asked the question that had been pent up in his heart for so long, "Where is this place?" Li Huang smiled slightly, "Is it important? This is not the world, but it is not the fairy world It's outside the six realms." Ying Shuo then asked, "Then you are..." Li Huang smiled, "Didn't I say that? I'm Li Huang." Ying Shuo shook his head, "I didn't mean that, I mean you should An ordinary hermit."

Li Huang still smiled, "I'm just a phoenix who likes freedom." Ying Shuo was still puzzled, "Then you can travel for nine days, why do you wander outside the six realms?"

Li Huang smiled wryly, "Freedom doesn't mean being able to fly, it's just that there is no way to go in the sky." After hearing this, Ying Shuo knew that Li Huang had an unspeakable pain in his heart, so he stopped asking.

Quietly looking at Li Huang's slightly lonely back.

"I'll be with you, Li Huang." When this thought came to Ying Shuo himself, he was taken aback. He thought he was a master at playing tricks among the flowers, so how could he be emotional with this man in front of him?

Li Huang walked up to the Wutong Pavilion, "The wind is blowing, let's go back." Ying Shuo finally realized that there was no expression on the face behind the mask, and he turned and left.

Lying on the bed, Ying Shuo thought about what Li Huang said, and also thought of Li Huang's pine-like temperament, but he didn't know why.

Ying Shuo was a little annoyed, he scratched his hair, "Could it be that I have a habit of cutting off my sleeves?" But when he thought of Li Huang's appearance, he felt that that was not bad.

"It's time to drink the medicine." When I was struggling, Iris' voice sounded, and Ying Shuo sat up. Iris saw the mask on his face, but she didn't show any surprise, "So this mask is for you." Ying Shuo took it off, "What, Have you seen it?" "No, it's just that the master asked me which herbs are useful for burns, and asked me to make a mask." Iris took the mask and checked, "The master has integrated the medicinal and spiritual properties of herbs into this mask, Looks like it took a lot of time." After finishing speaking, he handed it back to Ying Shuo.

Iris looked at him meaningfully, "The master often rescues some people from the world, but it's all done with little effort, and you are the first one to bring them back." Yingshuo was a little surprised, "Does he often help?" Iris replied, "Yes. Ah, mostly I go, and he also occasionally travels around the world, so he still has a lot of prestige among some capable people and strangers."

"Prestige? Then how many people has he saved?" Ying Shuo's tone was a little jealous.Iris seems to have noticed that "not all of them, some of them are the masters who saved their ancestors, so they are also respected by their descendants." After hearing this, Ying Shuo calmed down a little.

Yuanwei leaned in front of him, "Yingshuo, you can't be...feeling for Master..." Yingshuo is not a person who likes to hide, and he doesn't deny it.Iris hesitated, "You'd better heal your injury quickly and go back." Yingshuo smiled, "What? An order to evict guests?" Iris shook her head, "No, it's just that the master doesn't like outsiders staying forever." After hearing this, Yingshuo stood up and lightly Picking up Iris's chin, "I bet you, I can make him accept my long-term stay, so that I am not an outsider to him, if not, I will leave on my own." Iris opened his hand, "Your face Well, even if you don't need to bet, the master will personally drive you out." Ying Shuo lowered his eyes and said, "Just wait and see."

Yuanwei rolled his eyes at him, "If you lose, then break your thoughts about Master." Ying Shuo returned to his smiling face, "Let's talk about it after I lose" and drank the medicine in one gulp.

Iris stood up, took the bowl and was about to leave, but stopped at the door again, and said with some hesitation, "Master already has someone in his heart..."

Ying Shuo's heart twitched when he heard that, is there someone?

Ying Shuo couldn't sleep all night, his mind was filled with the phrase "Master already has someone in his heart"
