Bailiheng was stunned, "It's not me. I have a friend who is on the border. I heard him say that there is a line between life and death on the border, and countless people are killed. It is inevitable that there will be darkness in the heart. Just like you, there is some kind of fear that is difficult to control. , the treatment method they use is to face this fear directly, and turn this fear into beauty, so that it can be overcome without any attack."
"I see."
Shi Qinghuan nodded, thus missing the flash of sadness in Bailiheng's eyes.
"Then Sir, is there anything you fear?"
Bailiheng chuckled and raised his eyes, looking at Shi Qinghuan, "Why are you so curious about my fear? Are you trying to catch my weakness?"
"Of course not, I was just wondering, would the master known as the God of Death have anything to fear?"
"I'm not a saint, so of course there are."
At this point, Bailiheng's eyes were filled with sadness, and he finally drank the wine in one gulp.
The curtains behind him swayed, giving him a sense of loneliness. Even Shi Qinghuan felt that he was very lonely when he looked at it.
It was so quiet everywhere. Shi Qinghuan didn't know what to say, and Bailiheng couldn't say anything either.
For a moment, the two figures faced each other, as if they were lonely shadows, but they became a little gentle because they were in pairs.
After a long time, the sound of footsteps outside broke the silence.
It's Zhang Tong.
"My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's boat is not far away. He just saw us."
Prince, Cheng Hexuan!
Shi Qinghuan has not seen him yet.
Of course it is not something that can be seen now.
Shi Qinghuan quickly stood up and looked at each other. Bailiheng nodded, and Shi Qinghuan turned and walked towards the back of the boat.
Halfway through, he suddenly stopped again and turned to look at Bailiheng.
"Sir, actually, having fear in your heart is never a bad thing, but turning it around in a moment is an unforgettable beauty."
Just like that Mid-Autumn Festival night, to her, it was a bloody corpse, but today, it is a beautiful memory of the reunion.
As soon as these words came out, Bailiheng's eyes clearly flashed with light.
Then a smile appeared on the corners of his lips, bright and hot.
"good."
The two looked at each other and smiled, not just because of their cooperation.
After today's incident, something has changed subtly.
Even if they are just acquainted, it is an unusual development for the two of them.
Shi Qinghuan came out of the cabin and found Zhang Yue standing on the boat, waiting for Shi Qinghuan.
Once on the boat, the two of them walked away.
Bailiheng stood at the window, looking at Shi Qinghuan's retreating back, the smile on his lips getting deeper and deeper.
The night was getting dark and the time was almost up, so Shi Qinghuan went directly back to the general's mansion.
Qin Shuang was waiting anxiously in the house. Seeing Shi Qinghuan coming back so early, she immediately felt that something was not right.
And Shi Qinghuan was crying so hard that he couldn't speak all the way.
This made Qin Shuang anxious.
"Oh, Man'er, please stop crying now and tell me how things are going? What happened?"
"Auntie, you are so cruel, I'm so scared!"
"Afraid? Why are you being aggressive? Weren't you always nice before? He was so gentle to you, why is he being aggressive again?"
"Your Excellency said that our general's residence is full of chicken feathers. There is an uproar outside, but he doesn't care. But what he didn't expect is that we are so dark-hearted and want to drug him!"
"What?"
Qin Shuang's face turned pale, "Did he know about your drugging?"
"Well, he was so angry. He said he trusted me by mistake. He didn't expect me to be such a person. He also said he never wanted to see me again?"
Shi Qinghuan burst into tears, while Qin Shuang sat slumped on one side, his face ashen.
"It's over, everything is over, the last hope is just gone!"
"Auntie, do you think I really don't want you?"
"Yes, he is a dignified left prime minister. Apart from being good-looking, what else is there for him to remember about you? But now that you are found playing tricks on him, he will naturally not be able to swallow it. If you don't retaliate against us, it will be considered a good thing!"
"But aunt, I still want to see him. Please help me think of a way, think of a way..."
All Shi Qinghuan's words at this moment were noisy in front of Qin Shuang.
Having lost its use value, Qin Shuang no longer needs to pretend to be a loving mother and a filial son.
Pushing Shi Qinghuan away with one hand, "You loser, you can't do anything. Get out of here, go back to your courtyard, don't let me see you again!"
"Auntie!"
"roll!"
Shi Qinghuan pretended to be panicked and ran out. When Xianyu supported him and cried all the way back to Qingfeng Garden, his expression changed instantly.
Indifferently, he stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from his face, then sat down slowly and drank a cup of tea.
Xianyu asked from the side, "Now that the second lady is at the end of her rope, will she come up with any more vicious methods?"
"Don't worry, she won't have that chance?"
Shi Qinghuan's lips curled up slightly, "I just want to make her despair, despair again, without even a chance to resist."
The night spread in Shi Qinghuan's eyes, and at the same time, a black shadow flashed across the sky.
At this moment, in the backyard, Qin Shuang was pacing back and forth in the hall.
"What should I do now?"
Lin Zheng sat aside and sighed.
However, a flash of inspiration flashed in Nanny Sun's eyes, "Madam, why don't we use the old method?"
"You mean?"
"Giving that girl away again, since the Prime Minister doesn't want her, there must be someone else who wants her, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to get another guarantee!"
Hearing this, Qin Shuang's eyes lit up, "But who should I give it to? Nowadays, many people know about the affairs between Zuo Xiang and Man'er, and I'm afraid they don't dare to get involved!"
Qin Shuang was thinking, when a sudden cold light flashed across, and a black shadow held a long sword and stabbed Qin Shuang.
"Madam, be careful, there is an assassin!"
"mother..."
Everyone dodged and the hall instantly became a mess.
Grandma Sun was about to run out to call the guards, but she was stabbed through by the sword.
Blood spurted out and he fell to the ground instantly, making no sound.
This moment frightened Qin Shuang's mother and son.
He screamed and hid to one side, collapsing to the ground, his feet so weak that he couldn't get up at all.
The man in black dealt with Grandma Sun, and then turned to look at Qin Shuang and his son.
"Someone is paying for your life, don't blame me!"
After saying that he was stabbing with the long sword, Qin Shuang was still smart after all and spoke quickly.
"Since we use money to do things, I have money. As long as you don't kill us, we will give you any amount."
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the man in black's sword stopped not far in front of them.
"Is this true?"
"nature."
"Forget it, that man gave me five hundred taels. If you two want to save your lives, just give me one thousand taels each. Bring the banknotes and I will spare your lives."
"Yes, yes, I just ask you to show your noble hand."
Qin Shuang tremblingly took out the bank note from her arms and handed it over tremblingly.
Ever since the business incident, she had carried the banknote with her, and now it came in handy.
The man in black took the banknote, nodded with satisfaction, turned around and put away the sword.
"In this business, the most important thing we pay attention to is credibility. Since you are so straightforward, I have to tell you something. Your family hired more than just a killer from me. He sees that I can't do anything. , the next one will come, not everyone is as easy to talk to as me, you can take care of yourself."
After saying that, the man in black flew up to the eaves, turned around and disappeared.
Qin Shuang, mother and son, breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground tremblingly. It took a long time to recover.
There was resentment in his eyes, "Lin Yuan, you beast, you actually went so far as to buy a murderer and kill someone!"
"Mom, what should we do?"
"What to do? Of course we have to save our lives first. It's too late to make any plans. We must leave first."
"Go? Where?"
"As long as Qingshan is here, we still have a chance. Let's leave here first so that those killers can't find us."
Qin Shuang said, dragging Lin Zheng up, and they hurried back to the room.
After a while, in the dark night, two figures hurried out of the general's mansion, disappeared into the crowd in a sneaky manner.
At this moment, in Qingfeng Garden, Shi Miaotong, dressed in night clothes, was happily eating pears.
Shi Qinghuan looked at the blood stains on her sleeves and said, "Did you use the sword?"
"Well, if you kill someone, that nanny still wants to send you out, damn it."
Shi Qinghuan smiled helplessly, "It doesn't matter, she deserves it."
Shi Miaotong stood up and clapped his hands, "The time is almost here. Do you want to follow the plan?"
"Yes, you go and inform the Xue Yanghou Mansion."
"clear!"
Shi Miaotong chuckled and nodded, then climbed out of the window and disappeared into the night.
Xianyu followed him into the room, "Miss, they escaped!"
"Well, you send a message to Qing Yuepan. I ask the Prime Minister to personally check and receive the big gift I mentioned!"
