After so many arrangements and coming and going, it was already late at night.
Xianjin has always had very good sleep quality, but today, perhaps because he was worried or because the sea breeze was too strong, he tossed and turned with his eyes closed and couldn't fall into a deep sleep. Just as he fell into a drowsy sleep, he was immediately awakened by the sound of tiles sliding down from the roof beams and hitting the ground one after another.
Xianjin grasped the ruby and sapphire dagger under the pillow with his backhand, stood up quickly, and hid behind the window frame, holding his breath and concentrating.
Instead of waiting for the thief to arrive, he saw a dark shadow jumping down from the roof beam in the bronze mirror on the opposite wall.
It’s Ah Xiang.
Xianjin leaned his head out of the window and saw a black shadow almost spraining his ankle after landing. He adjusted his posture and quickly headed south.
"Brother Axiang!" Xianjin lowered his voice.
In the quiet night, even the softest sound seems abrupt.
The walrus stopped and turned around anxiously to look.
Xianjin almost leaned half of his body out and waved at him.
The walrus looked back anxiously to the south, then turned back, gritted his teeth, flew onto the roof, and climbed onto the window frame.
"What's wrong?" Xianjin frowned slightly.
The walrus made some gestures, first showing a gold ingot, then making the sign of "run" with his two thumbs, and finally pulling out a dagger and slashing his neck in the air. He rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue, his hands shaking, and he looked like he was dying.
Xian Jin: ...very good performance, don’t act it next time.
Although the praise was very abstract, Xianjin miraculously understood it.
"Baoyuan, going out to sea? To kill people?" Xianjin asked.
The walrus nodded repeatedly, and made a few gestures with its claws and teeth, looking very anxious.
Xianjin frowned: "It is also possible that he was killed?"
The walrus nodded frantically.
Xianjin calmed down and thought about it, guessing, "Go kill that platform Junjiro? But there is a big risk? Are you going to pick him up?"
The walrus was so moved that he nodded his head: Damn! It was worth it! My sister-in-law is as smart as a humpback whale!
Xianjin frowned and fell into thought - combined with what happened in the negotiation venue today, the truth was not difficult to guess. Breaking into the nest alone was also in line with Qiao Hui's usual character. Although he didn't understand the details, he could roughly guess what the current situation was by piecing together.
At sea, late at night, alone, chasing the enemy...combined with the urgency and tension of the walrus's loss of three souls and six spirits, it is not difficult to infer the danger of Qiao Hui's trip.
Xian Jin nodded: "Go quickly, call two more people, more people means less loss. If Qiao Hui blames you, just say it was me who said it."
The walrus turned and ran away.
Xianjin closed the window frame and turned back to sit on the bed.
After a while, he lay down on the buckwheat pillow.
The buckwheat pillow helped him calm down. Xianjin closed his eyes, but within three breaths, he pulled the buckwheat pillow out, cursing, "What the hell! It's so rustling and makes me sick!"
Hengxi, who was sleeping in the suite next door, turned over.
Xianjin changed a cotton pillow, and within two or three breaths, he pulled it out again, "It's so soft! It doesn't make me feel firm when I sleep!"
Hengxi turned over again.
Xianjin couldn't sleep, so he sat on the edge of the bed with his feet dangling, his eyes fixed on the azure curtains in the opposite suite. He ran over and pushed Hengxi in, "Make way, make way."
Hengxi: ...If a lady cannot curse, then she has nothing to say.
Xianjin lay on Hengxi's pillow, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep at all.
Hengxi kept his eyes and mouth tightly closed and was determined not to take the initiative to respond.
Xianjin sighed and said leisurely, "Your pillow is not good either..."
Hengxi couldn't stand it any longer, so he sat up and said sincerely, "I beg you, please go quickly! You have to go eventually, so go sooner and you will feel at ease."
And the poor pillow had never experienced such inhuman abuse in its life.
Being a pillow, it is sorry.
Xianjin pursed his lips lightly, "I'll go, it's useless."
It may also hinder our progress.
Reason told her that she shouldn't go.
What can she do by following?
Kill Woer with your eyes? Or condemn Woer with your words?
There is no point for her to go. She is a businesswoman and is best at calculating the output-to-investment ratio and low interest rates. Why should she waste her time and energy on things?
Xianjin is silent.
But she...really wants to go.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she could not help but think of the shocking scar below Qiao Hui's throat. In the dark night, the winding and rugged scar ran across the entire neck. It was not difficult to imagine how hot and bright red the blood that spurted out was, and how helpless and desperate the young man lying on his back on the sand was...
Hengxi tilted his head and looked at Xianjin, "When you do business, you always do it as soon as you want to, and you never hesitate."
Xianjin raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Hengxi said: "Go, if you don't go, you will regret it. You taught me that life is only a few decades long, so just do whatever you want to do."
"Even if you go, it's useless, but the guards are all nearby, so you won't cause any more trouble. Who knows, if you go, the Marquis Zhongwu will be like a powerful pill and split the East China Sea Dragon King's Palace in one blow?"
Glancing out the window again, Hengxi said calmly, "Don't delay any longer. If you delay any longer, the ship will be leaving."
After Hengxi finished speaking, she hugged the pillow, crossed her legs and looked at Xianjin. After watching for a while, she turned her back and yawned heavily - thousands of erotic novels told her a truth: when best friends fall in love, it is the military advisor who is tired.
When she is in love, you have to praise them for being a perfect match; when she is tired, you have to comfort her; when she is hurt, you have to accompany her to get drunk; when her partner is about to be hacked, you have to stay up all night to accompany her to study the rescue plan, is it right?
It’s so late, all the dogs in Fujian are asleep, except her, a single dog.
Hengxi sighed, hugged the pillow and turned his back. After about half a minute, he heard the sound of someone getting dressed beside him, and after a while, he heard the door closing gently with a "click".
