Madam, be merciful!

Chapter 148

Such an outstanding woman was known to almost everyone in the city, Ye Lansheng asked a little bit, and found out where the brother and sister lived.

In the alley with a big banyan tree on Dongnan Street, there is the third yard.

"There seems to be no one." Wei Yueling looked up at Ye Lansheng, hammered the door panel twice, waited for a while, but still no one came to open it, Wei Yueling spread his hands.

Ye Lansheng frowned, and glanced at the not-so-high wall, before he could move, Wei Yueling grabbed his clothes, "Who are you looking for?"

Ye Lansheng pursed her lips and said nothing, when the door of the courtyard next door opened, a stooped old lady came out, looked at Ye Lansheng and Wei Yueling, and said slowly: "You are here to find this Xiao It’s my girl, there is a lantern festival on the street today, she probably went to the street with her brother to play.”

After bidding farewell to the old lady, Ye Lansheng and Wei Yueling left, and vaguely heard the old lady muttering behind her: "This Miss Xiao is really amazing, even a man who has a child comes to look for it, I really don't know why Good luck or bad luck."

Ye Lansheng: "Speechless..."

Wei Yueling: "Speechless..."

The streets of Dongnan Street are quiet, and the houses on both sides of the road are scattered with lights, probably from the lantern riddles meeting to join in the fun.The silver-white moonlight fell, stretching the two figures, one tall and one short, on the street.

Looking at the shadow on the ground, Wei Yueling pouted slightly dissatisfied, "When will I grow up?"

Ye Lansheng looked down at Wei Yueling, smiled, and bent over to hug him, "Isn't it big?"

"What good is it if you don't grow up?"

"At least I can hold you like this."

Wei Yueling looked at Ye Lansheng's sad eyes, and his heart tightened, he stretched out his chubby little hand and patted Ye Lansheng's cheek, "You don't need to pay too much attention, that curse may not be true. "

"I really hope it's true." Ye Lansheng chuckled, with a complicated expression in his eyes. It took a long, long time before Wei Yueling understood it. Unfortunately, at that time, he was already powerless.

"Is what you said true?"

Suddenly, a woman's gloomy voice came from ahead.Ye Lansheng's eyes were slightly cold, and she dodged to hide in the dark, breathing shallowly quietly.Seeing Ye Lansheng like this, Wei Yueling also held his breath, opened his eyes wide and looked at the other side of the street for a moment.

"It's absolutely true! Pavilion Master, that woman lives in the alley in front. I heard that there is another man with her. Although they are brother and sister, they are not half alike. Also, that woman is extremely beautiful. , almost everyone in the city knows about the brothers and sisters."

"The owner of the pavilion just wants to ask you, is that woman really called Xiao Qingyue?"

"This subordinate swears to God, her name is indeed Xiao Qingyue."

Xiao Chongyan's eyes became gloomy, looking at the big banyan tree in front of her, her expression was in a daze.She originally planned to go to Longmen to negotiate terms with Bao Yan, but he sent Xiao Congyue back. Unexpectedly, she only stayed in this town for half a day, and then heard her subordinates say that there is an extremely beautiful woman in the city, and that woman is called Xiao Qingyue.

These three words, even if they crush her to ashes in this life, she will never forget them!

The man who called himself "Shao Qing" met at the wedding a few months ago was from Longmen, and now, this city is close to Longmen... Xiao Chongyan suddenly hesitated.She is not Xiao Qingyue's opponent. She was able to win back then because of her stupid trust. Now that the two meet again, she will definitely kill her.

No, she can't die yet, she still has a child in her womb, her and Xiao Congyue's child!

Xiao Chongyan stopped, took a deep look at the alley, and said in a low voice: "No need to go, go back." She couldn't take this risk, although she really wanted to kill her.

"Why? The people inside may be the former pavilion master." The subordinate asked without knowing why.

There was coldness in Xiao Chongyan's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to grab the man's neck, smiling coldly and cruelly, "This pavilion master said she was dead, she is dead, there will never be Xiao Qing in this world. please this man."

The man blushed, and instinctively struggled, but without moving a few times, the hand holding her neck tightened, and he completely lost his anger in a sharp pain.

Xiao Chongyan threw the person aside casually, and immediately behind him was a clean handkerchief on the ground. Xiao Chongyan took it and wiped his hands seriously, then threw the handkerchief on the person on the ground in disgust, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

The rest immediately followed, and some couldn't help looking back at the corpse lying on the ground, thinking to themselves, this unlucky ghost probably didn't understand why he offended Xiao Chongyan at the moment before he died.

Two figures came out from the darkness, looking at the direction in which Xiao Chongyan and the others left.Wei Yueling pondered for a while, and asked: "In that alley, there really lived a woman named Xiao Qingyue? Is she born exactly the same?"

Ye Lansheng nodded, her eyes flickered, her thin lips were tightly pressed, and she didn't say much.

Xiao Chongyan and the others could not be found in the inn, Shao Qing searched like crazy in the city, searched for a long time but still couldn't find anyone, but the anger in her bosom was completely dissipated.

Shao Qing scratched his head habitually, and suddenly caught something hard, and pulled it out without thinking, it was a hairpin.Although the hairpin is simple, it is beautiful and tight, especially the few purple gemstones inlaid on the top, which are shrouded in mist and faintly revealing a faint aura.

Although Shao Qing didn't have much research on this kind of daughter's stuff, it can be seen that this hairpin is probably very valuable.Shao Qing looked at the hairpin in her hand thoughtfully, thinking that when she went back later, she would grab Ye Lansheng and come over and ask how this thing got on top of her head.

Suddenly, with a pain in his shoulder, Shao Qing was knocked back to his senses.

The woman backed up a few steps to stabilize her body, supported the beauty mask on her face, and apologized to Shao Qingfu, "I didn't look at the road for a while, I accidentally bumped into you, I'm sorry..." The voice squatted suddenly Now, the woman stared at the hairpin in Shao Qing's hand with wide eyes.

Shao Qing stretched out her hand and shook it in front of the woman, "Girl, are you okay?"

The woman came back to her senses, and then she looked at Shao Qing's face, and saw that the woman in front of her was a bit slovenly with black hair scattered, and that small face was obviously featureless, but those black eyes were bright and charming, as if she could speak ,crystal clear.The woman thought that there would probably never be another pair of such clean and beautiful eyes in the world.

Lowering her eyes, the woman said softly: "I'm fine. But girl, the hairpin in your hand is very beautiful. I would like to ask, where did I buy this hairpin, and I will ask my elder brother to buy one too. "

Shao Qing was stunned for a moment, looking at the hairpin in her hand, someone's handsome face appeared in her mind, the corners of her lips could not help but smile, and even her tone of voice contained a smile, "It was put on my head by someone else, so I do not know either."

"That's it." The woman was a little disappointed, and blessed her body again, "Then girl, I have to find my elder brother, and my family is leaving."

Shao Qing looked at the figure of the woman leaving, and stroked his chin thoughtfully.For some reason, this woman always gave her a familiar feeling, but she couldn't figure out what it was for a while.

"Ah Qing."

When Shao Qing heard the sound and turned her head, she saw Ye Lansheng coming with the sky full of lights on her back, her whole body seemed to be coated with a layer of light, like a god.Shao Qing lost her mind for a little while, and when she regained her senses, Ye Lansheng was already standing in front of her.Shao Qing glanced behind Ye Lansheng, and asked, "Where's Xiao Linger?"

"I didn't see you when I went back to the inn, so I came out to look for you alone." Ye Lansheng gently brushed away the broken hair that fell from Shao Qing's forehead, "Why did you make it like this?"

"I untied it when it was messed up, and found this thing." Shao Qing stared at the man in front of him, "When did this hairpin get on my head?"

Ye Lansheng raised her eyebrows, the light of the lamp reflected in his eyes, it was very beautiful, "Why, don't you like it?"

"I like it very much, but it looks very valuable. I thought that if I wear this thing on my head and attract thieves, I don't know if I can keep my head."

Ye Lansheng laughed, but said seriously: "If someone really comes to snatch it, you can't beat it, just give him the thing. This thing is far less important than your life."

"That's right," Shao Qing wiped the hairpin with his sleeve, and carefully put it back into his arms, "This thing looks quite valuable, if one day I sleep on the street, I can pawn it for silver .”

pawn?The corner of Ye Lansheng's mouth twitched, and she tapped Shao Qing's head lightly with her fingers, "Do you know that this hairpin is a thousand-year-old cold jade, and the purple gemstone is a crystal stone, which is priceless?"

Shao Qing was taken aback, looked around vigilantly, and seemed to be protecting her chest, "It's so valuable, but if you put it on my head, it's mine."

"Well, it's yours." Ye Lansheng stretched out her long arms and pulled Shao Qing into her arms, hugging her tightly, "Even I belong to you."

Shao Qing nodded, and said seriously: "Then I will accept it reluctantly."

Ye Lansheng's low laughter was next to her ear.

The two embraced each other on the side of the road as if nothing had happened, and the passers-by couldn't help pointing their fingers. The gossip probably meant that the two of them were unrestrained and shameless in their downfall.

In the dark place, a pair of clear and beautiful eyes stared at the two people opposite, with deep eyes.A person beside her patted her on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Don't look, go back first."

"Don't touch me." The woman growled, her gaze still not moving.

The man froze for a moment, then sneered and said, "Who do you really think you are? If not..." He smiled strangely, turned and left.

Only then did the woman retract her gaze, and looked at the direction in which the man left. Her beautiful face was still expressionless, but a ruthless look flashed across her eyes very quickly.When I looked across the street again, there was no one there.

That hairpin...he actually...

The hustle and bustle was getting farther and farther behind, Ye Lansheng led Shao Qing to walk on the deserted street, the moonlight fell on the ground sporadically, and the shadows of the trees whirled, mottled the two people's long shadows.

"Where are we going next?" Her mission is to hunt down Gui Sha, and now that Gui Sha is gone, she doesn't even plan to really catch him, so where to go has become a problem.

Ye Lansheng asked back, "Where do you want to go?"

"Me," Shao Qing recalled that he had traveled all over the world during his missions these years, and he had been to many places. If he said he hadn't been to but wanted to go, it would be...

"When it comes to places I want to go, I probably want to go to the city that never sleeps." Hearing a lot of rumors about Changdeng Street in the city that never sleeps, Shao Qing really wants to go there to have a look and feel how it really is. What kind of splendor makes the world amazed and lingers.

She didn't go there in the early years, partly because she was too far away and didn't have time, and partly because she subconsciously rejected that place, but now it's different, she wants to go now, not only because she wants to see it, but also because...it's his home.

Ye Lansheng's heart tightened, her steps stopped, she held Shao Qing's hand even tighter, she pursed her lips and said, "I'm afraid it won't work now."

Shao Qing was puzzled, "Why not?"

Ye Lansheng smiled slightly and rubbed Shao Qing's head, "You probably have heard of the former priest in the city that never sleeps, do you think I can come out after I go back?"

Everyone in the world knows that the owner of the city that never sleeps, besides the powerful city lord, is also a former priest who is highly respected in the city.I heard that the former priest of the Nightless City was the only descendant of the former Wei Kingdom. After the Wei Kingdom was broken, Xuanyuan Kingdom automatically gave up the sovereignty of the Nightless City. Sovereignty fell into the hands of the Ye family, so that she missed the position of city lord.However, as a person who has lived for hundreds of years and has the orthodox royal blood, her position in the hearts of the people in the city that never sleeps is irreplaceable.

After thinking about it, Shao Qing felt that Ye Lansheng's words made some sense. As the lord of a city, he stayed outside like himself and lingered without doing his job. If she was the former priest, she would also arrest him. locked up.

"Then let's not go." Shao Qing thought, if the former priest got angry and wouldn't let Ye Lansheng out when he returned to the Nightless City, she probably wouldn't stay in the Nightless City for a long time because of Ye Lansheng Yes, she is a member of Longmen after all, and the soul-binding bell in her hand will not allow her to leave Baoyan for too long.

Still, in the limited time, let's be together well.

Ye Lansheng just smiled lightly, did not speak, and led Shao Qing back to the inn.

Wei Yueming's words that day are still vivid in his memory, Shao Qing has a blood sword in his body, for the safety of the city that never sleeps, Shao Qing must not be allowed to approach the city that never sleeps.

Ye Lansheng made a bitter smile silently, who said that the Lord of Nightless City can easily own everything, now that he is in love with a woman who can't go home with him, does that count as having but not having?
Inside the inn, Wei Yueling stood by the window with her chin in her hands, and asked in a murmur, "Why hasn't Xiao Lansheng come back yet?"

Who said that the old lady couldn't help her mother, and the nephew couldn't help her uncle. After putting him back in the inn, he went out without saying a word. He knew that he was looking for Shao Qing, and he didn't want him to follow. It's really abominable.

Wan Douer yawned, slipped from Wei Yueling's shoulder into his arms, and said tremblingly, "Come back soon, my lord, can you close the window?"

"No." Wei Yueling said without thinking, the road outside the window was the road in front of the inn, if the two came back, he would be able to see it immediately.

Wan Douer sighed, in fact, Douer is also very sad, thinking that it is a thousand-year-old sky soldier bean and has been with the master for so many years, no credit but hard work, how can the master fall in love with other women Woolen cloth.It's fine if you like other women, but you don't even care about Dou'er, just throw it in the inn to go on a date, this master is really getting worse and worse.

After thinking for a while, Wan Douer patted Wei Yueling's chest with a small hand, and sighed: "My lord can't marry that woman, so my lord will soon be the two of us again... No, soon it will be one of us again."

"Why can't you marry?"

Wan Douer coughed lightly, and said exactly what Wei Yueming said to Ye Lansheng on the night of the sacrifice, and learned it vividly.

Wei Yueling nodded thoughtfully, "So that's the case." Immediately, his eyes lit up, the black mist in his pupils dissipated, and the silver and purple pupils suddenly flashed madness, "Listen to you, I am Gong Huan really wants to bring Shao Qing back to the city that never sleeps!"

Pea trembled, for some reason, Douer always felt that it seemed to have said something that shouldn't be said.Seeing Wei Yueling's appearance, Wan Dou'er shrank her neck in fear, thinking that when Ye Lansheng came back later, she must tell him about it.

By the shimmering green spring, a woman in a silver robe raised her hand, and a white palm-sized white pigeon landed on her hand.After stroking the white pigeon's head twice with her fingertips, the woman took out a small bamboo tube from its leg, and with a light push with her fingertips, the note inside was poured out.

His eyes glanced at the words on the note very quickly, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was a little displeased.Patted the white pigeon on the head, and said softly: "Hey, go back to the cage."

The white dove fawned over the woman's palm, spread its wings obediently and flew away.

Wei Yueming raised her palm, and the silver light flickered for a moment, and the note in her hand was smashed into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye, and fell into the grass.

In the ancient attic, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged on a gray cushion, surrounded by deep purple light that lasted for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, the man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were cloudy but sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "Since you're here, come in."

The door opened with a "squeak", and a silver figure flashed in.

The dim candlelight shone on her cold face, which seemed to be a little colder even though it was originally condensed.The silver eyes glanced at the furnishings in the room, and finally fell on the middle-aged old man in the middle of the room, and said lightly: "Master Ye, I haven't seen you in a hundred years."

Master Ye was startled for a moment, and then sighed, a trance appeared in his eyes as if he had experienced many vicissitudes of life, "It turned out that a hundred years have passed."

Time can't wait for anyone like this, I didn't expect that it has been a hundred years since his retreat.

Wei Yueming nodded, and said softly, "I'm here this time because I need your help with something."

Master Ye raised his eyes when he heard the words, and took a deep look at Wei Yueming. The face that looked like that person came into his eyes, and tears suddenly appeared in Ye Guoshi's eyes, and asked in a lingering voice: "You can blame me?" ?”

"Resentment?" Wei Yueming chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "What do I blame you for when everyone is dead? Besides, you are his father."

Master Ye closed his eyes, suppressed the pain in his eyes, and calmed down his voice, "Say it, what's the matter?"

"I'm going out of Nightless City in the near future. Lan Sheng is not in the city, so I need to trouble you to watch over the affairs in this city." Wei Yueming paused, "Especially on the side of the Wei family."

Master Ye's expression became complicated, "This city that never sleeps should belong to you, so you don't plan to go back?"

"No," Wei Yueming shook her head, her face suddenly softened, "The city that never sleeps belongs to him, and I lost to him."

Master Ye finally sighed and did not speak.

Before leaving, Wei Yueming suddenly said: "Ling'er misses Lan Sheng, and went out to find him secretly. If you have the heart, then wait for him to come back to meet him. A child like him is very cold and poisonous. Although Shao Chi The prescription prescribed back then is suppressing it, if it is not cured now, I am afraid that I will not live for many years."

"You are a failed father, whether to him or to Ling'er."

After saying that, the door of the room was closed, and Guoshi Ye was left alone in the room again, as if for the past hundred years, day and night, only him, with endless regrets.

"Yeah, I've never been a qualified father."
