"Master Xia."

Gu Yanfei stretched out his hand to make the petition, with a light and comfortable smile.

She didn't seem to see the old man with a long knife outside the pavilion at all, she was very at ease.

Mr. Xia sat down on a stone bench next to the stone table like a stream of kindness, and looked at her face with great interest, as if examining her face, but also seemed to have drifted away.

In the frozen eyes, there was a disregard for everything.

Without saying a word, he took out a veil as white as snow from his sleeve, and wiped his slender fingers carefully, with slow movements.

Gu Yanfei took a step closer to him, not caring about his indifference, and raised his lips with a smile: "Xiahouqing, Mr. Xiahou."

When the girl smiles, her eyebrows and eyes are flying, her demeanor is Qinghua, she has the brilliance of a girl, but also reveals a bit of cunning and willfulness between her glances.

Xia Houqing's originally calm pupils finally had a slight ripple.

The movement of wiping his fingers also stopped, and he squinted at Gu Yanfei with slightly raised eyebrows.

Until this moment, Gu Yanfei's face was reflected in his pupils.

The girl in front of her is not yet twenty-eight, and her face is still a bit immature, but the calmness, ease, and free-spiritedness she exudes in her gestures, is by no means an ordinary boudoir daughter.

The cold wind is still raging, and the few green bamboos beside the pavilion are still green, with a layer of white snow on the branches and leaves, like jade leaves and Qiongzhi, occasionally swaying and making rustling sounds.

Gu Yanfei smiled slightly, and fixedly met Xia Houqing's deep eyes.

She knew that she was like walking on a thin steel wire hanging in the air, and there was a bottomless abyss below.

As long as she deviates by one step, she may fall into the abyss and be lost forever.

But the more she was in this situation, the calmer she became.

She is a medical practitioner, and no one in the Yaoling world would make an enemy of a medical practitioner, but spirit beasts and monsters are ferocious, and if she wants good medicinal materials, she must take risks with herself. Countless, she has long been used to facing the danger of being targeted by monsters.

"Young Master Xiahou." Gu Yanfei walked towards him generously, and asked casually with a smile, "How long will Bailiyin arrive? How long do we have to talk?"

It seems that the two are old acquaintances, and today they are just reminiscing about the past.

Xia Houqing began to wipe her fingers slowly again, wiping every finger clean, and then threw away the still white handkerchief.

A male voice that sounded like a spring in a mountain stream and a ring bell rang from his lips: "It seems that you know a lot."

He placed one hand on the stone table, and the blood-red ring had a strange and cold luster in the light.

The young man's smile was bright, and in an instant, the scarlet "Qi" around his body surged wildly, with an indescribable madness and strangeness, which also added a kind of majesty to his outward appearance that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Not much." Gu Yanfei said frankly, and sat down leisurely on the stone bench opposite him, talking and laughing freely, turning a blind eye to the oppressive pressure around him.

"This is the capital city." Gu Yanfei first pointed to the oil lamp placed in the northeast corner of the stone table with an index finger, and then lightly tapped the table in front of him, "This is Zhuangzi."

"When you come out of the capital, no matter where you want to go, you will never 'pass by' this Zhuangzi."

"Bai Liyin came here to seek your life, Mr. Xiahou."

"The young master uses his body as a bait. All he needs to do is replace everyone in the Zhuangzi with the young master's dead men, and Bailiyin's life can be killed silently."

"In this way, no one will know that it was the young master who did it. What others saw was that Bailiyin died in the outskirts of Beijing in Dajing, in an ordinary village."

At the same time as the last word fell, he slowly turned his gaze to Xia Houqing, with the tails of his eyes slightly raised, as if asking him——

Is it right?

In the pavilion, there was a dead silence.

The ominous crowing of crows came from afar again, slightly distorted by the sound of wind and snow.

"Crack! Crack!"

After a while, soft and slow clapping sounded.

Xia Houqing looked at Gu Yanfei who was less than three feet away from him, raised her hands and clapped lightly, confirming her guess.

He laughed for a long time as if he couldn't stop, and the light cast a golden shimmer on his long curved eyelashes.

His smile was beautiful, but in this snowy night, there was a dangerous chill for no reason.

Gu Yanfei was also laughing, smiling comfortably, stroked his wind-torn hair, and said bluntly: "Mr. Xiahou wants to take advantage of Bailiyin's death to 'lead the disaster to the east', so that Dajing and Yue The country will fight again, and then the fisherman will benefit?"

She used a questioning tone with a rising end.

But he didn't expect the other party to answer, so he went on to say: "My lord is from the country of Yue, so it is for the benefit of the country to seek benefits."

"Unfortunately, the Yue Kingdom and Dajing will not go to war."

Her tone was very firm, and the smile on her lips deepened by three points.

Xia Houqing was noncommittal, but gently turned the blood ring between her fingers. Under the reflection of the light, the thick eyelashes cast a faint shadow, and behind the shadow were bottomless pupils.

Meeting his dark eyes, Gu Yanfei said calmly: "The sages of the Yue Kingdom dare not!"

"..." The corners of the eyes of the old man outside the pavilion trembled. This girl really dares to speak out!

Gu Yanfei casually picked up a withered yellow leaf from the oil lamp on the table, twirled it casually twice, and continued casually: "The sage of the Yue Kingdom is old, and he is no longer the vigor and fierce tiger he used to be."

"Even if Bailiyin died in Dajing, as long as Dajing has a new type of flintlock gun in his hand, Yue will not dare to go to war."

She let go of the two fingers holding the dead leaf, and the dead leaf was swept away by the strong wind and snow in the blink of an eye and disappeared into the darkness.

Gu Yanfei met Xia Houqing's eyes sideways, and said seriously: "Actually, if you want to gain 'profit', young master, you don't need to go through such a lot of trouble."

"Oh?" Xia Houqing was still turning the blood ring slowly, narrowing her bewitching eyes.

Gu Yanfei snapped his fingers crisply, and suggested with a relaxed brow: "Why don't you think about it, how about occupying Yue Kingdom first?"

"I can help you."

She smiled like a flower, as if she didn't feel any sense of life and death crisis.

These words sounded a little brazen at first, and the corners of the mouth of the old man outside the pavilion curved into a sneering arc.

Xia Houqing smiled again.

His eyes are so beautiful and coquettish, like the hooked crescent moon in the night that is tantalizing and seductive.

He stopped turning the ring, as if feeling bored, he turned his slightly sideways face towards Gu Yanfei at an angle, and said softly: "There is still a stick of incense."

The time he left for her is still a stick of incense.

Xia Houqing's pupils were icy cold, and he did not conceal his intention of slaughtering the village at all. In stark contrast was the calm smile on his face.

The snow remained undiminished, and the snow particles fell on the roof of the pavilion crackling, and the air was filled with suffocating condensation.

The howling wind and snow surrounded the pavilion, like a wild beast staring at it.

"Master Xiahou, have you ever heard a word?" The smile on Gu Yanfei's face was unrestrained, his expression seemed extremely relaxed, his eyes seemed to be chuckling, joking, and threatening.

"One cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other."

She looked directly into Xia Houqing's eyes, and said each word at a very slow speed.

This sentence is known all over the world, and it came from the mouth of Emperor Taizu of Dajing.

Gu Yanfei pointed to the night sky above: "Look."

In the next moment, there was a sound of "嗖", and a bright red streamer rose from the southeast, tearing the air like a huge lightning bolt, and flew unstoppably into the snowy night sky above.

"Wow!"

A huge red firework exploded violently in the night sky, turning half of the night sky into crimson red, sprinkled a scorching red light, and even illuminated Zhuangzi below.

Xia Houqing's complexion changed slightly, she looked up at the huge red fireworks in the night sky, her enchanting smile froze on her lips, her dark pupils seemed to be dyed bright blood.

"..." The pupils of the old man standing outside the pavilion suddenly shrank a little, as if struck by lightning, his face paled in shock.

He didn't move and let the snowflakes float on his frosty eyebrows, his wrinkled face was gray and gloomy, his heart sank little by little as if soaked in water, his heart was extremely cold.

Now Bailiyin and his party should have been four miles away, and they will definitely see the gorgeous red fireworks in the sky. Unless he is blind and stupid, he will never fall into the trap again.

The plan failed!

This idea clearly appeared in the old man's mind.

He didn't dare to look at Xia Houqing at all, and knelt on one knee between the ice and snow, his body dripping with cold sweat.

His mind was in turmoil, and he had no idea what was wrong.

He had clearly sent people to keep an eye on everyone in the village, and anyone who made any abnormal movements would be killed. Who did the "cloud piercing arrow" just now? !

Where did he miss something? !

"Quack..."

Noisy crows could be heard in the distance again, and it was unclear whether it was mourning or cheering.

But in a blink of an eye, the bright red firework disappeared into the night sky, leaving no light behind.

Gu Yanfei tapped lightly on the stone table with one hand, his eyes seemed to be filled with bright stars, shining brightly.

"Look, Bailiyin can't kill him anyway." She smiled slightly, and asked again "intimately", "Why don't you just consider my suggestion, let's take the Yue Kingdom in our hands first, how about it? "

She finished speaking in one breath, her posture was leisurely, and she was smiling all the time from the beginning to the end.

She knew in her heart that Xia Houqing's intention to kill them was not for pure slaughter, but for the purpose of achieving the goal by any means.

To Xia Houqing, the hundreds of lives in this Zhuangzi are just ants, so how can people care about trampling and killing a few ants while doing things.

She sabotaged his plan to assassinate Bailiyin, but it doesn't mean that these people in Zhuangzi can survive.

Most importantly, benefit and value.

She has to provide the other party with sufficient benefits and value in order to arouse the other party's interest.

Xia Houqing stared at Gu Yanfei, her smile was still weird, with a bit of laziness, she fell into deep thought for the first time, and slowly rubbed her thumb on the blood ring.

"I can help you."
