Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty

Ye Kai raised his glass and drank it all, the wine seemed to be a bit bitter. Of course he also understands how painful it is for a woman to be forced to be with a man they hate. Shen Sanniang suddenly raised her head, brushed her hair from her temples, and said: "In my life, I have never had a man I really like, do you believe it?" Her eyes were hazy, and she seemed to be a little drunk. Ye Kai sighed softly, he could only sigh. Shen Sanniang said: "Actually Ma Kongqun treated me well, he should have killed me." Ye Kai said: "Why?" Shen Sanniang said: "Because he already knows who I am."

Ye Kai said: "But he didn't kill you." Shen Sanniang nodded and said: "So I should be grateful to him, but I hate him even more." She clenched the wine glass tightly, as if she had regarded the wine glass as Ma Kongqun's throat. The bottle is empty. Ye Kai poured half of the wine in his glass to her. Then she drank the glass of wine very slowly, as if she cherished the glass of wine very much. Ye Kai stared at her, and said slowly: "I think you will never want to see Ma Kongqun again now." Shen Sanniang said: "I can't kill him, I just don't see him."

Ye Kai said softly: "But you have indeed done your best." Shen Sanniang lowered her head, stared at the wine glass in her hand, and suddenly said: "Do you know why I told you these things?" Ye Kai smiled and said, "Because I'm a sensible man?" Shen Sanniang said softly: "You are also a very cute man, if I were young, I would definitely seduce you." Ye Kai stared at her and said, "You are not old now." Shen Sanniang also raised her head slowly, staring at him, with that touching smile on the corner of her mouth, she said faintly: "Even if you're not old, it's already too late..."

Although she smiled beautifully, it seemed to carry an indescribable bitterness. A kind of bitterness that is more sweet than sweet. A sad smile. Then she stood up suddenly, turned around, took out another bottle of wine, and said with a smile: "So now I just want you to accompany me to get drunk once." Ye Kai sighed softly and said, "I haven't been really drunk for a long time." Shen Sanniang: "But before you get drunk, I want you to promise me one thing." Ye Kai said: "You say." Shen Sanniang said: "Of course you can tell what kind of person Fu Hongxue is."

Ye Kai nodded and said, "I like him very much too." Shen Sanniang said: "He is very intelligent, no matter what he studies, he can learn very well, but he is also a very fragile person. Sometimes he seems to be very strong, but in fact he is just barely controlling himself. If the blow were any bigger, he wouldn't be able to bear it." Ye Kai was listening. Shen Sanniang said: "When he killed Gongsun Duan, I was beside him. You will never imagine how painful he is after killing someone. I have never seen someone who vomited so hard." Ye Kai said: "So you are afraid of him..."

Shen Sanniang said: "I'm afraid that he can't bear that kind of pain anymore, I'm afraid that he will go crazy." Ye Kai sighed: "But he must kill someone." Shen Sanniang sighed and said, "But what I'm most worried about is his illness." Ye Kai frowned and said, "What disease?" Shen Sanniang said: "A very strange disease, called epilepsy in medical books, also known as epilepsy, as soon as this disease occurs, he can't control himself immediately." Ye Kai also showed melancholy on his face, and said: "I have seen the appearance of this kind of disease attack."

Shen Sanniang said: "The most frightening thing is that no one knows when his disease will attack, even he himself does not know, so there is always a kind of fear in his heart, so he is always nervous and can never relax himself .” Ye Kai smiled wryly: "Why did God make such a person suffer from this disease?" Shen Sanniang said: "Fortunately no one else knows that he has this disease, and Ma Kongqun certainly won't know." Ye Kai said: "Can you be sure no one else knows?" Shen Sanniang said: "Absolutely not." She was indeed very confident, because she didn't know that Fu Hongxue's illness had flared up again recently, and it happened in front of Ma Fangling.

Ye Kai pondered: "If he is nervous, isn't it more likely that this kind of disease will occur?" Shen Sanniang said: "I think so." Ye Kaidao: "Of course he will be very nervous when he fights against Ma Kongqun." Shen Sanniang sighed: "I'm most afraid of this, if his illness suddenly breaks out at that time..." Her lips trembled suddenly, and she couldn't even speak anymore—not only did she dare not speak, she didn't even dare to think about it. Ye Kai poured another glass of wine for her and said, "So you hope I can take care of him by the side."

Shen Sanniang said: "I'm not just hoping, I'm begging you." Ye Kai said: "I know." Shen Sanniang said: "You agree?" Ye Kai's gaze suddenly seemed to go to the distance again, and after a long time, he said slowly: "I can agree, but this is not what I am worried about now." Shen Sanniang said: "What are you worried about?" Ye Kai said: "Do you know that less than an hour after he went back, two people wanted to kill him?" Shen Sanniang moved her face and said, "Who is it?" Ye Kai said: "You must have heard of the 'heartbroken needle' Granny Du, and the 'Boneless Snake' Ximenchun."

Of course Shen Sanniang had heard of it. Her face immediately changed, and she murmured: "Strange, why did these two people kill him?" Ye Kai said: "I'm not surprised by this." Shen Sanniang said: "What are you wondering about?" Ye Kai pondered, and said, "I just mentioned that they might be here too, and they appeared immediately." Shen Sanniang said: "Do you think they appeared too fast, too coincidental?" Ye Kaidao: "Not only did they appear too fast, it was as if they were afraid that others would ask about their secrets, so they were anxious to die."

Shen Sanniang said: "You didn't kill them?" Ye Kai smiled and said, "At least I'm not in a hurry to kill them." Shen Sanniang said: "Do you think someone wants to kill them?" Ye Kai said: "Maybe it's more than that simple." Shen Sanniang said: "I understand what you mean." Ye Kai said: "Maybe the two people who died were not really Ximenchun and Granny Du." Shen Sanniang said: "Can you explain in more detail?" Ye Kai pondered, and said: "Of course they hid here for a very special reason." Shen Sanniang said: "Not bad." Ye Kaidao: "They have been hiding for many years, thinking that no one will know their whereabouts." Shen Sanniang said: "No one knows their whereabouts." Ye Kaidao: "But today I suddenly told people that they might be here." Shen Sanniang said: "How do you know?" Ye Kai smiled again, and said lightly: "I know a lot of things." Shen Sanniang sighed: "Maybe you already know too much." Ye Kai said: "Since I have said that they are likely to be here, it is inevitable that someone will look for them." Shen Sanniang said: "They are not afraid of others, but you, because they can't figure out how you know they are here, and they can't figure out what else you know." Ye Kaidao: "They were afraid that their whereabouts would be leaked, so they deliberately arranged for those two people to appear, and they tried to make me think that these two people were Granny Du and Ximenchun." Shen Sanniang said: "What do you think?" Ye Kai said: "There are many ways, the simplest one is to ask a person to kill someone with a needle." Shen Sanniang said: "The heartbroken needle is Granny Du's unique hidden weapon, so of course you will think that this person is Granny Du." Ye Kai said: "Not bad." Shen Sanniang said: "If you want to kill someone, the best person is of course Fu Hongxue." Ye Kaidao: "This is also the most ingenious point in their plan." Shen Sanniang said: "If those two can kill Fu Hongxue, that's of course very good. Even if they can't kill Fu Hongxue, it won't hinder their plan." Ye Kai said: "That's right." Shen Sanniang said: "After they make a move, the real Granny Du and Ximenchun will kill them, making you think that both Granny Du and Ximenchun are dead." Ye Kai said: "No one is interested in a dead person, and of course no one will look for them again in the future." Shen Sanniang blinked and said, "It's a pity that there are people who are equally interested in dead people." Ye Kai smiled and said: "There are indeed such people in the world." Shen Sanniang said: "So it must not be enough for them to kill people and silence them, they must also destroy the corpses." Ye Kai sighed and said: "I often hear people say that most beautiful women have no thoughts. It seems that this sentence does not apply to you." Shen Sanniang smiled, and said: "Everyone says that a man who can use his brain usually can't move his mouth. It seems that this sentence doesn't apply to you either." Ye Kai also smiled. Now they shouldn't be laughing. Shen Sanniang said: "Actually, there are still a few things I can't figure out." Ye Kai said: "You say." Shen Sanniang said: "If it wasn't Granny Du and Ximenchun who died, who were they?" Ye Kaidao: "I only know that one of them has quite good martial arts, and he will definitely not be an unknown person." Shen Sanniang said: "But you don't know who he is." Ye Kai said: "Maybe I will know later." Shen Sanniang looked at him and said, "As long as you want to know, you can always know!" Ye Kai laughed and said, "Maybe it's just because I'm a very resourceful person." Shen Sanniang said: "Then you must also know why Granny Du and Ximenchun hid here." Ye Kai said: "What do you think?" Shen Sanniang's expression suddenly became very serious, and she said word by word: "Out of the thirty assassins, there are still seven alive, maybe we have found two now." Ye Kai's expression became serious, and he said, "This is a very serious matter, so you'd better not judge too quickly." Shen Sanniang nodded slowly, and said, "May I assume that they are?" Ye Kai sighed, sighing is sometimes a kind of reply. Shen Sanniang said: "If they haven't died, of course they must still be here." Ye Kai said: "Not bad." Shen Sanniang said: "There are not many people in this place." Ye Kai said: "Not too little." Shen Sanniang said: "In your opinion, who is most likely to be Ximenchun? Who is most likely to be Granny Du?" Ye Kaidao: "I said before, no one can judge this kind of thing too quickly." Shen Sanniang said: "But as long as they haven't died, they must still be here." Ye Kai said: "Not bad." Shen Sanniang said: "Since they can find two people to be scapegoats at any time, there must be their subordinates in this place." Ye Kai said: "Not bad." Shen Sanniang said: "These people may appear anytime and anywhere to plot against Fu Hongxue." Ye Kai sighed and nodded. Shen Sanniang said: "This is exactly what you are worried about?" Ye Kai pondered, and said: "With his martial arts, these people are certainly not his opponents." Shen Sanniang also nodded. Ye Kaidao: "Since he is the only son of the eldest princess in the Devil's Cult, there are naturally a lot of miscellaneous schools." Shen Sanniang said: "It's quite a lot." Ye Kai said: "But he lacks one thing." Shen Sanniang said: "What kind of thing?" Ye Kaidao: "Experience." He continued slowly: "In his situation, this is the most important thing, but no one can teach him." Shen Sanniang said: "So..." Ye Kai said: "So you should tell him that the real danger is not Wanmatang, the real danger is in this small town, and he can't see it, and he can't think of it." Shen Sanniang pondered, and said: "Do you think Ma Kongqun has already set up an ambush in the town?" Ye Kai said: "You said that he is a very cautious person." Shen Sanniang said: "He is indeed." Ye Kai said: "But now there is no one around him who is willing to work hard for him." Shen Sanniang said: "Gongsun Duan's death is a big blow to him." Ye Kai said: "A person as cautious as he is must protect himself very well. Even if Gongsun Duan is his most loyal friend, he will never want to rely on Gongsun Duan to protect him." Shen Sanniang said coldly: "Gongsun Duan is not a reliable person at all." Ye Kai said: "Of course he knows Gongsun Duan better than you." Shen Sanniang said: "So you think he must have made other arrangements." Ye Kai smiled and said, "If he hadn't already been sure of dealing with Fu Hongxue, why would he still be here now?" Shen Sanniang said: "Don't tell me you think Fu Hongxue has absolutely no chance of revenge?" Ye Kai said: "If he only wants to kill Ma Kongqun alone, maybe he still has a chance." Shen Sanniang said: "Suppose he still wants to find those six people." Ye Kai said: "That would be difficult." Shen Sanniang stared at him, sighed suddenly, and said, "Are you worried about us? Or are you warning us because of Ma Kongqun? Now I can't tell the difference." Ye Kai said lightly: "You really can't tell the difference?" Shen Sanniang said: "Although you have revealed a lot of secrets, if you think about it carefully, these secrets are of no use to us." Ye Kai said: "Oh?" Shen Sanniang said: "If I really tell Fu Hongxue these words, he will only be more nervous, more worried, and more likely to be plotted against." Ye Kai said: "You don't need to tell him." Shen Sanniang stared into his eyes, as if she had just seen the secret in his heart from his eyes. But she saw nothing. She couldn't help but let out another long sigh, and said, "Now I just want to know, who are you?" Ye Kai smiled again, and said lightly: "You are not the first person to ask me this question." Shen Sanniang said: "No one has ever known your origin?" Ye Kai said: "That's because I even forgot myself." He raised his glass and said with a smile: "Now I just remember that I promised to get drunk with you once." Shen Sanniang's eyes moved, and she said, "Are you really drunk?" Ye Kai laughed as if a little sad, and said slowly: "What can I do if I'm not drunk?" So Ye Kai got drunk, and Shen Sanniang also got drunk. When he woke up, he was alone. Zhang Sujian was pressed under the empty bottle, which was left by her. There is only one line of writing on the note, which is written with rouge, red like blood: "The woman who drinks with you here at night is not me." There is rouge next to the bottle. So Ye Kai added a few more words: "I wasn't here at all last night." So what if you're not drunk?It's better to be drunk. morning. A smoky morning mist has just risen from the long grass, the eastern sky is light blue, and the rest is a mysterious silver gray. The long grass is green. Ye Kai walked out and took a long breath, the air was fresh and humid. The grassland has not yet awakened, no people can be seen, and no sound can be heard. A wonderful peace and tranquility is covering the land. Ma Fangling must still be sleeping now, young people rarely suffer from insomnia for two nights in a row. Their melancholy is usually always overpowering their drowsiness. Older people are different. Ye Kai believed that Ma Kongqun would never fall asleep. It was nothing short of a miracle that a man of his age, after so much, could fall asleep. what is he doing Is he mourning for his partner, or is he worrying for himself? Xiao Bieli must have returned to his small building now, perhaps drinking his last glass of wine before going to bed. Did Ding Qiu also drink with him there? What about Fu Hongxue? Could he find a place where he could rest for the night? Perhaps Shen Sanniang is the one Ye Kai misses the most. He couldn't think of any other place for her to go, but he believed that no matter what the circumstances, a woman like her would always have somewhere to go. Unless she has lost herself. From nowhere came a vulture, circling under the silver-gray sky. It looks tired and hungry. Ye Kai raised his head, looked at it, with thoughtful eyes, and murmured: "If you want to find dead people, you have come to the wrong place. There are no dead people here, and I am not dead yet." He blinked, smiled suddenly, and said, "If you want to find a dead person, you have to find a place with a coffin, right?" Eagle trembled, as if asking him: "Where's the coffin? Where's the coffin?..."
