Shi Jin looked at those strange flowers and the floating spots of light among the flowers, and gradually became a little lost. For some reason, more and more thoughts in his heart became blank, and all he had in his heart was endless curiosity, that kind of It felt like a boundless fog, spreading thicker and thicker, covering the original things in Shi Jin's heart, leaving only a blank space of floating fog, and the looming call in the sea of fog.
At this moment, Shi Jin had forgotten that he was going to another room to find the bearded man and interrogate him about his background and purpose. However, at the moment, Shi Jin looked at the floating light spot, his eyes filled with tears. With a look of deep attraction, Shi Jin gradually stopped walking, stood up slowly, and walked into the garden faster and faster along the cobblestone path with bushes on both sides. , heading towards the center of the sea of flowers faster and faster.
Seeing those floating lights and shadows getting closer and closer, Shi Jin walked deeper and deeper, but after a while, he was completely submerged by the sea of shrubs and flowers higher than his shoulders, and Shi Jin's figure could no longer be seen...
[Moon Hazy·Front Hall]
Li Gu thought for a moment, and just as everyone's hearts gradually settled down as time went by, Li Gu suddenly hit the table with his palm, causing everyone to be frightened for a moment. His eyes focused on Li Gu again.
Li Gu took a deep breath, thought deeply, and said word by word: "Liu Tang, summon the brothers,"
Sometimes, what is actually needed is just this sentence. There is no need to say anything more and everything is in it. Li Gu immediately put these words here. His position and meaning were already very clear. Liu Tang and Li Mian could understand clearly. , Aunt Hong, who was sitting beside her, also knew very well. It seemed that Li Gu was going to risk everything. I was afraid that there would be a huge fight in Guanxi Town that night.
After hearing this, Liu Tang stood up immediately, made a fist with both hands, and said cheerfully: "Yes," Liu Tang had already wanted to take action. He was waiting for Li Gu's voice. Now that he had everything in place, all that was left was to fight. Yes, it's great, Liu Tang thought about it, turned around and walked away quickly.
Li Gu saw Liu Tang's figure disappearing outside the door, then he came back to his senses and said to Li Yan: "Now quickly call all the servants to collect all their belongings. You can find Zhang Laosan to rent a big boat at Fenglingdu in the northeast of Guanxi Town. , wait for me there. If, this Shi Jin is really as good as Jianghu said, then I will call you to come, and we will submit together. If Shi Jin..."
Li Yan knew that his eldest brother had been put on guard by the big man with the cheeks before. He was afraid that Shi Jin would be like that big man, so he said this.
Li Yan paused briefly, skipping some words that were inconvenient to speak, and continued: "We brothers rowed down the Yellow River, found a secluded place, occupied the mountains and became kings, and lived the rest of our lives leisurely. That’s it,”
Li Yan carefully thought about Li Gu's words, and then nodded his head. It seemed that he had made the final decision. No matter whether it was white or black, he would go to the end. Li Yan made a salute, and He got up and left in a hurry.
At present, Li Gu's troops are divided into two groups, heading straight for the elders of Guanxi Town, paving the way for the Li family's final retreat. At this time, Li Gu can't tell whether he is relaxed or nervous, he is just a little demented. Staring blankly at the table covered with leftovers, he slowly picked up the wine in his hand and put it to his mouth.
Aunt Hong could see the anxiety in Li Gu's heart. In fact, no one else could have made such a bold decision, even Aunt Hong herself. She had to make a sudden decision and lose the moon. Even if she wanted to, she would abandon her peaceful life and live an uncertain life. Even if she wanted to, it would be extremely difficult for her to make a decision. After thinking about it, Aunt Hong dexterously twisted the ear of the wine pot and poured out the fragrance. The sweet wine was poured into the cup and held in front of Li Gu with both hands.
When Li Gu saw this, he came back to his senses, looked at Aunt Hong's beautiful face, and smiled slightly, but the smile was more or less forced.
Aunt Hong didn't know why, so she sighed sadly for him and said: "It's really difficult for you, but since it's so difficult to make a choice, why not get them back? Why are you so miserable?" ,"
Li Gu took the wine glass, shook his head slightly, and said: "It's not that I can't make a choice, but it's too risky. Many people will die that night, but all of this is caused by a single thought on my part." "Ears, if... I mean if, the Shi Jin we rescued is not as extraordinary as the rumors in the world, then is the dead brother worth it? Alas, I think too much," Li Gu said incoherently. Having said this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"There are not so many things in the world that everyone is happy with. Life is originally a gamble with God as the banker. It is unpredictable and the results are beyond our control. However, no matter whether you lose or win the bet, the most important thing is that as long as it is decided in your heart Things, things you yearn for, then even if you fail, it is still worth it. When you are old, you will not regret it the moment you think about it," Aunt Hong said and poured herself a glass of wine, quietly Savoring it one bite at a time, it seemed that in her hands it was not wine but life.
Li Gu has known Aunt Hong for ten years, and this is the first time he has heard her say these things so profoundly. But when Li Gu thinks about it carefully, in fact, even though Aunt Hong is a figure in the outfield, these few people today This sentence really means something. If I think about it carefully, I can't help but feel enlightened, and I can't help but nod.
Just as the two of them were drinking, a series of urgent knocks on the door of the house suddenly occurred to them. Aunt Hong responded, "Come in," and saw the door being pushed from the middle with a creaking sound. Open it, and a person steps in, it's Dong Ling.
Dong Ling's face was slightly panicked, and she quickly came behind Aunt Hong, lowered her body to Aunt Hong's ear and said, "Aunt Hong, it's bad, the peony is gone."
As soon as Aunt Hong heard the news, before Dong Ling could continue speaking, she quickly turned around and looked at Dong Ling with some disbelief.
Dong Ling lowered her eyes and nodded solemnly.
When Aunt Hong saw it, she really believed that she had heard it right. Nothing like this had ever happened in Yue Menglong. Only people from other families who had gone missing came to Yue Menglong to look for them, but no one from Yuemenglong had ever gone missing. , and, when Aunt Hong thought about it, her face turned pale again. Wasn't it the extremely special young young man that Shaoyao was serving? When Aunt Hong thought of this, she became more and more nervous.
Li Gu trusted Aunt Hong and had not avoided discussing with Aunt Hong before. Now it was difficult for Aunt Hong to avoid Li Gu. Moreover, the handling of this group of people was also related to the survival of Li Gu and others, so he asked Dong Ling He said: "What about the guest that Shaoyao is serving? Is it done?"
Dong Ling sighed, her melancholy eyes were filled with smoky eyebrows, and she frowned: "No, that person is not dead, and I don't know what happened. That person escaped through the back window. The maid at the back found her in the Coral Sea and is now tied up in the flower hall in the backyard. Aunt Hong, please see how we deal with it."
"Has he told me about the whereabouts of peony?" Aunt Hong was now calm and asked calmly.
"No, now that man has lost his heart and soul in the Coral Sea, and now he is paralyzed in the flower hall with empty eyes, only smiling infatuatedly..." What Dong Ling said were the most confidential things of Yue Mengyu, even if Aunt Hong didn't To avoid Li Gu's suspicion, Dong Ling still talked about these things in a tactful and sensible manner.
Li Gu listened for a long time but didn't understand. Originally out of etiquette, he shouldn't have asked, but at this time, he couldn't care about it anymore, so he asked: "Who is this man you are talking about, and the others?" How is it going, guys?"
Dong Ling turned her body slightly and faced Li Gu: "I can't explain who this man is. He is a very capable man. As for the others, they have all been cleaned up by our people. I'm afraid you are looking for him now." I can’t find it either,”
Li Gu has always been at ease in this regard, but since he wants to kill people and silence them, then leaving one person behind is the same as leaving a group behind. This matter must be done cleanly without leaving any one behind, so that this matter can be foolproof and the next thing can be done It was also done beautifully.
Aunt Hong just glanced at Li Gu, and what he was thinking was that Aunt Hong was only half convinced by his expression, so she stood up and said: "I'm afraid it's not a good idea to keep this one, but it's even more inappropriate for Shaoyao to go missing." , I'm afraid there is something involved. Mr. Li, you rest here. Dong Ling, you can bring a jar of good wine to Mr. Li. I'll go to the back and clean up this kid." After saying that, Aunt Hong did it. A gift.
Seeing this, Li Gu also stood up in a hurry, returned the gift, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Aunt Hong, please take care of me."
Aunt Hong didn't say anything. She smiled and turned around. When she got out of the door, Aunt Hong's expression showed a hint of anxiety. Under the guidance of the two rows of maids holding lanterns in front of her, she couldn't help but walk faster. Sooner, we passed through the corridor of the mountain tour house, bypassed the rockery lake, and arrived at the backyard. Passing through several full-moon door openings on the side, we found ourselves in the flower bed surrounded by the backyard. There was a faint figure in the flower bed. It is not as tall as a common pavilion, but it is extremely wide in circumference and is supported by two circles of columns inside and outside.
In the flower hall, there are already eight girls standing around. Don't look at them all glaring at each other. In fact, their positions imply formations, which are very particular. Not only are they stepping on the positions of the four extremes, but the changes inside are even more... Incredibly, when they saw Aunt Hong coming in, they quickly bowed together and said, "I've seen Aunt Hong." Her posture was no longer as delicate as the one in the front hall, and each of them was indescribably tough, and they and The relationship with Aunt Hong is incomparable to that in the front hall.
Aunt Hong nodded her head gently and walked into the center of the flower hall. Sure enough, the man sitting slumped and tied up in the center of the flower hall was the man she had carefully looked at at the banquet. But at this moment, there was nothing in the young man's eyes. Instead of the profundity and dexterity of the past, now there is chaos and confusion instead.
