Xie Lan pestered Lao Xi for a long time before finally knowing the whole story.

Ever since he saw her disappearing with his own eyes that day, he has been murmuring in his heart, but Lao Xi refused to say more to him. He didn't ask anything from Xie Tao, so for so many days he just Can guess by yourself.

Had it not been for the conversation between Lao Xi and Xie Tao when he came back last night, he might not have known anything.

At this moment, Xie Lan, Lao Xi, and Xie Tao are sitting in a private room of a Sichuan restaurant.

"Sister Taotao, you haven't even seen your face, so you like it?"

For the first time Xie Lan felt that the rice was not fragrant. He didn't even hold the chopsticks in his hand, but stared at Xie Tao, "Aren't you messing around?"

"...I have seen it." Xie Tao retorted in a low voice.

"It's impossible to see it!"

As Xie Lan said, he glared at Lao Xi, "You too, Lao Xi, why don't you tell me about this? You have to tell me earlier, and I won't put this flame out. Yet?"

"That's a matter of others, why are you in a hurry?"

Lao Xi ate the food slowly, and when it was so spicy, he quickly drank a sip of tea.

"This is not online dating either..." Xie Tao added.

Xie Lan glanced at her, "Yes, you are better than online dating. It is a long-distance relationship. It's good for you. You can get a heterosexual relationship?"

Xie Lan is even more curious when it comes to this, "I really want to know, what kind of boy does he have to look like? Or is he capable of it?"

Xie Tao thought for a while, then silently raised the phone to his eyes.

The phone screen lights up, and the portrait of Wei Yun that she has set as a screensaver is displayed in front of Xie Lan's eyes.

Xie Lan was stunned for a while, and then reacted. He took Xie Tao's phone and looked at it two more times. Then he pointed to the screen of the phone and said to Lao Xi, "Lao Xi, do you think someone can grow like this? "

Xie Tao took the phone back and glared at him.

Xie Tao finished this meal in the noise of Xie Lan. He was like an "old father" who was afraid that she would suffer, and he kept telling her many things that girls should pay attention to.

Some even searched it out on the spot with his mobile phone, and read several aloud in front of her.

In the end, Xie Tao hurried to school because the school's lunch break was approaching.

Xie Lan and Lao Xi sat in the private room, but they didn't have the relaxed atmosphere as before.

Holding the chopsticks, Xie Lan was a little bit ignorant. He was silent for a long time before asking Lao Xi, "Old Xi, don't you worry about Tao Taomei?"

"Why should you worry?" Lao Xi took a sip of wine, and there was no emotion at all in his voice.

He has always been like this, his expression is always flat and smiling, and it is calm, making it impossible to see what he is thinking.

"Don't you think this is unrealistic?"

At this moment, Xie Lan's face was no longer the usual dangling look, he poked the rice in his bowl with his chopsticks.

"There is nothing unrealistic, this is her chance."

Lao Xi still seemed so indifferent, "Since she has chosen, then the joys and sorrows in the future are all things she has to face."

Xie Lan was silent for a long time. Even the spicy stewed fish that had been missed for a long time was fed into his mouth, but he felt that it was not so spicy. He finished a bowl of rice in silence, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and looked at Lao Xi, "Old Xi, you have to help her."

Old Xi narrowed his eyes with a smile, and after a while he nodded slightly, "Don't worry too much about this, I know this in my heart."

Xie Lan snorted, "You always do this."

Lao Xi seems to always hide unspeakable secrets. In Xie Lan's eyes, he has always been so mysterious.

It seems that there is nothing in this world that he doesn't know.

"Then the person who wanted to kill Tao Taomei last time, you seem to know who she is? Why didn't you tell me anything? What if she comes again?" Xie Lan suddenly remembered what happened before.

Lao Xi was always able to ask him to rescue Xie Tao in time. He seemed to have mastered the movement of that mysterious person all the time.

When hearing Xie Lan's words, Lao Xi obviously paused.

For a moment, the expression in his eyes that seemed to have gone through the vicissitudes of the world flashed, and a cold face suddenly appeared in his mind.

Stacked in a corner in the deepest part of my heart, it seemed that a gust of wind had suddenly blown away the thick dust, and the locked box was finally opened.

In the downtown, the girl riding a horse in red is like a fire, dragging a long whip like the wind.

She turned back suddenly, her smile bright and bright.

"Young Master Xi!"

Her crisp voice seemed to be reverberating in his ears at this moment.

Just such a frame flashed in a hurry, the moment Lao Xi exerted his knuckles, he crushed the transparent wine glass in his hand into a handful of quicksand, slowly drifting from his fingers.

The tighter the grip, the faster the loss.

It's like something he didn't dare to touch in the past.

The eye sockets were a little sore. When Lao Xi met Xie Lan's astonished eyes, he barely restrained his emotions and pulled his lips. His voice was a little dry for no reason, "She... won't do that again."

In this world, no one knows her better than Lao Xi.

——

Xie Tao went back to school, took class all afternoon, and then rushed to the dessert shop to make a new batch of shortbread candies.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Xie Tao returned to the rented place.

Wei Yun calculated the time, almost when she got home, she just washed her face, and before she could dry it, she lit the incense.

Xie Tao stood in Wei Yun's study and wiped the water off his face.

Wei Yun also didn't expect her to look like this when she came. The smile on his lips was a little uncontrollable. He stretched out his hand and handed it to the Jinpa, "wipe it."

Xie Tao did not reach out to pick it up. Instead, she put her face together in front of him.

Just look at him like that.

Obviously I want him to wipe it for her.

Wei Yun stunned, his ears were slightly hot, he was silent for a moment, but he still reached out and wiped the water stains on her face for her.

His movements were a little unnatural, and a little flustered, but he was still gentle and careful.

After wiping, he even looked at what she looked like when she closed her eyes. He didn't know why, he stepped back a little, and he was a little relieved.

"Come and sit down."

He only said a word, turned and walked into the inner room.

The charcoal fire was burning vigorously, making the inner room extremely warm.

Wei Yun took off the teapot from the stove and poured a cup of hot tea.

Xie Tao quickly walked in and sat down opposite him.

Wei Yun pushed the cup of tea in front of her at the right time.

Xie Tao took a sip of the tea cup, and then quietly stared at his face.

The faint ink marks she had seen on his face last night are now invisible.

And the traces on her face, after washing her face this morning, there is nothing to see.

Wei Yun looked up and saw her eyes looking straight at him. The light and shadow of the candlelight in the inner room was reflected in the depths of her eyes, like a tiny silhouette of fire, with A bit of temperature.

He lowered his eyes unnaturally, but his voice was as indifferent as before, "What are you looking at me for?"

"You look so good."

She held her face, as if she had become more adept at speaking like this.

Wei Yun heard her say such words without shy away. For a moment, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and he decisively reached out and stuffed a pastry into her mouth.

Xie Tao was suddenly given a mouthful of cakes. She couldn't say a word, so she could only eat the cakes little by little with her cheeks puffed up.

Outside the window was sparse shadows and slanting, and the fine snow fell one after another, occasionally leaving a few faint shadows on the screen windows reflected by the lights, like petals that fell instantly on the dead branches.

Wei Bo was used to Xie Tao's sudden disappearance, but he always walked out of Wei Yun's room.

Some things, after careful consideration, he can see some signs.

But he still didn't want to think deeply, and didn't ask too much. This was the rule he had silently abide by for many years in the National Teacher's Mansion.

At dinner, Xie Tao once again saw the girl Shao Liyin who had always looked cold.

Wei Jing tried to talk to her, but she never said a word from beginning to end.

Only when Xie Tao and Wei Yun walked through the yard did they bow their heads and salute.

Tonight is the Lantern Festival of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Xie Tao came not too late.

When walking down the busy long street, Xie Tao covered her face with silk yarn and looked around curiously.

The lanterns of various colors are intertwined in the sky into a colorful light and shadow, like a neon in a modern city. Clusters of lanterns are lit, illuminating the sky and the earth on the moat of the city.

The beautiful flower boat came slowly in the sparkling water, and men and women walked back and forth on the bridge.

People on the road rubbed shoulders and laughed constantly.

"Wei Yun..."

Xie Tao smelled the hot scent of face on the street stall. She reached out to pull Weiyun's sleeves, but he avoided it for a living.

She was stunned for a moment, her fingers hung in the air and moved.

After a long while, he withdrew in silence.

She didn't say anything, it's just that the eyes darkened for a moment.

Wei Yun paused for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but did not speak.

There are so many people here, he can't get too close to her, this is a dangerous thing for her after all.

He can't let her get involved.

Xie Tao didn't know what he was thinking, but at the moment she smelled the fragrance of the face that she only smelled, she didn't seem to have any eagerness to eat it anymore.

The cold snowflakes fell and melted into light water marks on her shoulders.

At that time, when someone walked by, her finger seemed to accidentally touched the object held by the person's wide sleeves. She raised her hand reflexively after a pain in her fingertips.

Under the warm yellow light, she clearly saw a blood stain on her finger.

Xie Tao tilted her head suddenly and saw that it was a strange man with dark skin.

When she moved her gaze down, she caught a glimpse of a cold light leaking from his sleeves.

"guard……"

She just spoke, and saw several strange men who were going to pass by suddenly raising their hands, holding short swords in their hands.

At the same time, masked men came in groups not far away with knives.

Wei Jing and Shao Liyin reacted extremely quickly, and immediately stood in front of Wei Yun and Xie Tao, both drew out their long swords and threw their scabbards.

When the swords connected, sparks flashed slightly, making a harsh sound.

The people around were so frightened by the sudden change, they screamed and fled in all directions.

Xie Tao was swayed by the crowd and was about to fall, but was grasped by one hand on the wrist.

When she was pulled into his arms, Xie Tao raised her eyes, only having time to see Wei Yun's smooth jaw, and then warm and moist blood splashed on her face.

With a very strong smell of blood.

Xie Tao saw Wei Jing behind Wei Yun and did not hesitate to wipe the neck of the dark-skinned man who had just walked past her.

The man fell to the ground instantly, his eyes widened, and there was a hideous bloodstain on his neck.

Xie Tao wiped her face in a daze, and then she saw a reddish blood between her fingers, which stained her palms.

There are blood drops, dripping down her eyelashes.

At that time, Shao Liyin quickly pierced several people's chests with the soft sword in his hand.

She was only a sixteen-year-old girl, even two years younger than Xie Tao, but at this moment she killed several people without blinking her eyes, as cold as she was born without emotion.

A dozen guards from the National Teacher's Office also participated in this battle.

The dead body lying on the ground, blood flowed to Xie Tao's feet.

This was the first time she saw a murder scene so truly.

Her eyes widened, her whole body stiffened.

At that time, Wei Yun had found something wrong with her.

But before he could make a sound, he felt the wind coming towards him, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a sharp arrow pierced from a tall building not far away.

Wei Yun's pupils shrunk slightly, directly carrying Xie Tao in his arms, and at the same time, he shot quickly, grabbing the arrow with his bare hands, but the speed of the breaking air flow caused his palm to pierce in that instant, and the arrow also pierced. The material on Xie Tao's shoulders marked a light trace of blood.

Xie Tao was in shock, unable to say anything for a while.

Wei Yun released her. When he saw her blood-stained and pale face, he reached out to wipe the blood from her face, but her face was stained with the blood between his palms.

Suddenly, he pulled his headband, the golden crown fell off, and the black diverge.

He tied the headband in front of her eyes, took her back in his arms, and kissed her softly on her forehead.

At that moment, Xie Tao's eyes were dark, and she could not see anything. He could only hear the sound of swords connecting, and the screams of the surroundings were still there.

And her forehead seemed to have a warm touch of Microsoft, and it passed away.

Then, she heard his voice smashing into her ears in the bitter wind:

"Taotao, don't be afraid."

In the next second, she was suddenly pushed out by him, but was steadily caught by another person.

"Take her out of here."

She heard Wei Yun's cold voice.

And Shao Liyin, who was holding her arm, immediately took the order, "Yes, my lord!"

When Shao Liyin performed light work and left with Xie Tao, Wei Yun held the arrow stained with his and her blood in his hand, and fixedly looked at the darkened building behind the lantern.

In the end, those masked people were killed to the last one.

Surrounded by the guards, he stood there holding a knife, helpless.

When Wei Yun walked over, Wei Jing automatically stepped aside, and handed the **** long sword in his hand.

When Wei Yun held the hilt of the sword and dragged the long sword toward the man, the blade slashed on the ground, splashing tiny sparks.

The man held the knife in his hand and saw Wei Yun coming towards him, he couldn't help but back again.

But behind him, there is no retreat.

At this moment, Wei Yun's eyebrows were like frost, and his whole body also carried a hostility that he didn't usually have.

"Say,"

When he spoke, his voice was cold, without the slightest warmth, "Who sent you here?"

The man didn't mean to answer, as if he had made some determination. He fixed his eyes on Wei Yun, holding the knife in his hand, and came directly at Wei Yun.

But before he reached Wei Yun's body, he was pierced into his waist and abdomen by the surrounding guards.

The man fell to the ground, vomiting blood, and stained his masked black cloth with a deeper mark.

Wei Yun sneered.

He simply squeezed the long sword in his hand and pierced the man's chest with a sword.

Then, he directly kicked the burning lantern on the person. In his horrified gaze, Wei Yun looked calmly at the flame gradually enveloping him. Seeing him struggling, seeing him gradually disappeared. sound.

There was a burning smell in the air, and Wei Yun threw the long sword in his hand to Wei Jing.

When I turned around, I saw a slender figure standing on the flower boat between the lights and shadows on the waterfront.

Jin Yi jade belt, handsome face.

Surprisingly, it is the King of Letters——Zhao Zhengrong.
