Chapter 201 Jin丨Exclusive publication

of Jiang Wenxue Hua Liutong and Yun Heyan were scheduled to meet at the small building of Hua Man Lou.

Hua Liutong drove a carriage, picked up Xie Heng and Hu Sheng, and took them to the suburbs.

The small building of Hua Man Lou was as quiet and fresh as ever.

The temperature in the south of the Yangtze River is higher than that in the north. Even if there are not many flowers blooming in winter, there are not many withered scenes in the small building.

Hua Liutong carried Xie Heng out of the carriage. Because there were steps in front of the house, he did not take a wheelchair and carried him directly inside.

Yun Heyan had arrived in advance, and Lu Xiaofeng also came early.

This was his first meeting with Hua Man Lou.

Every time he met someone, Yun Heyan would perform a ritual, and this time was no exception.

Lu Xiaofeng should have told Hua Manlou about Yun Heyan's illness in advance. When Yun Heyan asked for blood, Hua Manlou agreed very straightforwardly, allowing Yun Heyan to cut his finger, holding his hand, and licking the blood that flowed to his palm.

System: [It's over, we're going to collide.]

Xue Chen: [There's nothing we can do about it.]

System: [I don't believe it, you did it on purpose.]

Xue Chen: [You don't have to be so stupid.]

System: [……]

Hua Liutong stood at the door holding Xie Heng, confused at first, and after making sure that he was not seeing things, he didn't know how to react for a while.

He looked at his blind brother, then at Yun Heyan who looked dazed, and finally at Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng was a little nervous: "It's none of my business!"

Hua Manlou's attention was all on Yun Heyan, until Lu Xiaofeng spoke, he noticed that there were two more people in the room.

He tilted his head: "Master Xie, Sixth Brother, you are here."

Hua Liutong's embarrassment faded, and he put Xie Heng on the chair, saying in a serious tone: "What are you doing? In broad daylight, how can you be so shameless!"

"Sixth Brother, you misunderstood..."

Before Hua Manlou finished his words, Yun Heyan let go of his hand, licked the blood on the edge of his lips with his fingers, put it into his mouth and licked it clean, and looked at Hua Liutong with blurred eyes.

Hua Manlou didn't know where he was looking at this time, nor could he see the emotions in his eyes, but for some reason, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

He reached out to touch Yun Heyan, and clearly sensed Yun Heyan's position, but still fell short.

Yun Heyan seemed to be in a daze, his body was as swift as the wind, extremely agile.

He stared at Hua Liutong's confused eyes and stood in front of him. His tall figure was extremely oppressive, and the light around him dimmed a little.

Hua Liutong became alert: "What are you going to do?"

Yun Heyan licked the corner of his mouth, raised the dagger in his hand, and asked hoarsely, "Is it okay?"

Hua Liutong's face was full of confusion.

Lu Xiaofeng: "That..."

Yun Heyan: "If you don't say anything, I will take it as your agreement."

After that, he held Hua Liutong's hand, cut his finger before he could react, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Hua Liutong was completely stunned, and only remembered to struggle after a while.

Yun Heyan let go of his hand, smacked his lips, and savored the taste of blood.

Hua Liutong felt offended and said angrily, "What do you mean!"

Lu Xiaofeng quickly pulled Yun Heyan away, pressed him on a chair, turned around and said apologetically, "He suffers from a strange disease and cannot control himself. He would never do this when he is sober. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with him as a patient. He will apologize to you after he regains consciousness."

"I have been traveling around for so many years, what have I not seen? There is no such disease in the world! I think he is plotting something bad against Qi Tong, so he uses this crappy method to cover it up! You don't have to speak for him, let him explain it himself!"

Yun Heyan lazily supported his arms, his eyes flushed, flashing with a bloodthirsty light: [It tastes really good. ]

System: [Are you so greedy! Do we have to drink it now? Can't we wait until we are familiar with each other before we start?

Xue Chen: This is more exciting.

Hua Manlou: "Sixth brother..."

Xie Heng chuckled.

Hua Liutong looked at him unhappily: "You are still laughing."

Xie Heng: "What Lu Xiaofeng said is true. If you don't believe it, you can ask around. People in the Yingfeng Bureau should all know that Yun Heyan suffers from a strange disease."

"Yun Heyan?" Hua Liutong was stunned and turned to look at the man in black sitting on the chair. "Is he Yun Heyan?"

Yun Heyan came back slowly, but his appearance was cold and sharp enough. Even with his confused eyes, he was very oppressive.

Xie Heng: "He does not look like a court official, nor does he look like a proper court official."

Lu Xiaofeng had never seen how Xie Heng interacted with others, and now it seemed that the relationship between the two was quite different from what he had imagined.

Hua Manlou brought over the medicine: "Sixth brother, sit down first."

Hua Liutong: "You apply it first, I'll do it myself later, don't worry about me."

Hua Manlou washed his hands with clean water and applied some medicine powder on himself.

The medicine powder was the leftover from when Xie Heng was injured, and it was very effective in stopping bleeding and relieving pain. The wound created by Yun Heyan was not big. If Hua Manlou was the only one who cut his hand, he would not use it, but Hua Liutong also had a wound, so he took it out and used it.

Yun Heyan said, "I used to be a killer."

Hua Liutong: "What about now?"

Yun Heyan: "Now it's the knife in Master Xue's hand."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at him in surprise.

He didn't know anything else, but he knew exactly how Yun Heyan defected to King Taiping.

How many months have they known each other?

Did Master Xue save his life, and Yun Heyan surrendered his loyalty so easily.

Hua Liutong didn't dwell on what happened just now, and nodded: "I understand. I can promise you that matter, but I would like you to keep your distance from Qi Tong and don't drag him into it."

Hua Manlou was puzzled, but didn't say anything.

Yun Heyan: "On the surface, I will not have anything to do with him."

Do you still want to continue to associate with him secretly!

Hua Liutong glanced at Hua Manlou warningly.

Xie Heng laughed softly.

Hua Liutong said helplessly: "Don't laugh, what's so funny?"

Xie Heng: "Heyan and Qi Tong have nothing to do with each other. They just really met today."

Hua Liutong didn't believe it at all.

Judging from the way Yun Heyan was entangled with his brother, there must be something behind it!

"The blood of Mr. Hua Qi tastes good." Yun Heyan said, "Mr. Liu is not bad either."

Hua Liutong: "..."

It turns out that he is the same as his brother.

No wonder Xie Heng laughed so gloatingly.

System: [What's that smell? 】

Xue Chen: 【When I first drank it, I thought it was rose and lychee flavored juice, fragrant and sweet, but I didn't expect it to be so intoxicating that I almost passed out after swallowing it. It's stronger than Xie Heng's wine. 】

System: 【? Are you drunk? 】

Xue Chen: 【A little bit. 】

This is the first time the system has seen someone drunk from drinking blood. It estimates that this is also the first time Xue Chen has encountered such a situation. In order to avoid being scolded, it did not dare to ask Xue Chen's feelings: 【What about Hua Liutong? 】

Xue Chen: 【I don't know, the juice is too strong, and the blood after drinking it can't taste good. 】

System: 【……】

It knows that Xue Chen deliberately bullied Hua Liutong!

-

Pei Rui patrolled the streets with his dog.

Xiao Li has grown very fast recently. He ate too well during the Chinese New Year and gained a lot of weight. He is full of energy and goes out for a run every day. It was not soft to the touch when it was a puppy, but now it feels hard in his arms.

Zhui Ming reminded him that Xiao Licking is not fully grown yet, so he can be taken outside, but he can't go out casually when he grows up.

This kind of hunting dog is very aggressive, and it is easy to cause panic even if it is on a leash and taken outside. However, if there is any vicious incident, taking Xiao Licking with him may have unexpected results.

Pei Rui held the leash tightly and ran quickly after Xiao Licking.

It is much easier to take a dog with him than patrolling the streets alone. People around him will take the initiative to avoid him, and he doesn't have to worry about bumping into people.

"Stop!" Pei Rui shouted.

The thief in front didn't dare to respond at all, and ran forward in panic.

He was most afraid of dogs, and he usually didn't dare to go to a house with a dog when stealing. If it was just the young constable chasing him, he might still be able to surrender, but there was also a dog, wouldn't that force him to run?

The thief used Qinggong to unleash his great potential, and quickly distanced himself from the man and the dog behind him.

He looked back and found that the dog had a very sharp nose and had not lost him at all. He cursed secretly and continued to escape.

He was too flustered, and Pei Rui occasionally took a shortcut to intercept him, so he was forced into a dead end without knowing it.

There was a coffin shop here, and it was not even the end of the first month of the year. The door of the coffin shop was closed, and there was no place to hide. Even if he broke in, he would be found by the dog quickly.

The thief panted heavily and looked up at the nearby wall. The courtyard walls of the houses here were not low, but if he looked carefully, he could still find a leverage point.

At this moment, the door in front suddenly opened.

The thief's eyes lit up and he rushed over quickly, shouting, "Get out of the way, get out of the way! Let me in!"

"Who are you?"

"Get lost, why are you talking so much nonsense." The thief saw that the owner of the house looked quite weak and didn't take him seriously at all, so he dragged him inside.

Gu Xichao's eyes darkened, took out a flying knife, and pierced his palm, "Watch your mouth."

"Ah——" The thief realized that he had kicked the iron plate. He was sweating coldly and was extremely terrified.

"Woof! Woof!"

The sturdy black dog turned the corner and appeared in the alley, followed by the young black-clad constable.

The thief seemed to have seen a savior: "Save me!"

Pei Rui tilted his head.

Gu Xichao looked at him and asked softly, "Can't you see?"

Pei Rui nodded.

It's over. The constable finally came, but he turned out to be a blind man. No wonder he was holding a dog.

The thief was desperate.

Even if he stole, it would only take a few days. It wouldn't cripple his hands!

Xiao Licking barked at Gu Xichao, wishing he could pounce on him and bite him. Pei Rui pulled the rope hard to prevent it from hurting anyone.

Pei Rui: "There is a smell of blood, who is injured?"

The thief: "It's me, it's me!"

Gu Xichao said slowly: "This brother suddenly appeared and broke into my house without saying anything. I was scared, so I attacked him subconsciously."

Pei Rui: "Who are you?"

Gu Xichao: "My surname is Gu, Gu Xichao, I'm a scholar, and I know a little bit of boxing. I just moved here two months ago and make a living by writing letters and selling calligraphy for others."

He spoke fluently, and it seemed that he had thought of the wording long ago, probably specifically for dealing with people.

Pei Rui nodded: "You two, come with me to the Shenbo Division."

"Are you a constable from the Shenbo Division?" Gu Xichao asked in surprise, "May I know your name, little brother?"

"Pei Rui."

"So it's Captain Pei."

During his time in the capital, he had already figured out the dignitaries. Before visiting Xue Chen, he had also specially collected information about the Taiping Palace. When he heard the name, Gu Xichao guessed that the man in front of him was the adopted son of the Taiping Prince and the nominal younger brother of the Xue twins.

But for some reason, the Taiping Prince sent him to Zhuge Zhengwo.

Gu Xichao's class was too low, and there were some things that he could not touch at all. He was worried about Xue Chen's instructions during this period, and didn't know how to approach Cai Jing and others.

Now that Pei Rui came to his door, he could try to see if he could borrow some help.

Gu Xichao said gently: "Wait a moment."

He locked the door and restrained the thief. He was about to walk side by side with Pei Rui, but as soon as he got close to him, the dog bared its teeth. He could only keep a distance from this cold-looking little captain.

Gu Xichao: "Captain Pei was chasing this man just now?"

Pei Rui nodded coldly.

The thief wailed: "I am innocent. I really wanted to steal something, but I haven't succeeded yet, right? Can you take me to the clinic first? If I don't go, my hand will be crippled."

Pei Rui: "It's just right that it's crippled. I will never succeed again. It's a good thing. You should thank him."

The thief: "..."

Gu Xichao laughed out loud.
