Chapter 4 The fourth chapter of the long night

The night is not over. A star has just risen and set again.The earth is so silent that you can even hear the sound of the lake flowing. The lantern on the gate swayed gently in the breeze, and the lights dimmed. Yuan Zixia curled up in Bai Yujing's arms and gradually fell asleep. She was so tired, as tired as a lost pigeon, and now at last she found a place where she could rest safely. Maybe she didn't want to sleep at first, but her eyes gradually became heavy, and the gentle and sweet darkness finally embraced her. Bai Yujing looked at her, at her straight nose and long eyelashes.His hand was caressing her waist.

Then his hand stopped suddenly, resting on her bed. He didn't use much force, just a light press, but it was enough to make her sleep until dawn. So he quietly got out of bed, lifted his boots, and went out quietly. How could he rest assured to leave her alone in the house?Isn't he afraid of those people coming to hurt her? He is not afraid.Because he was determined to go to those people first.He was determined to settle the matter before dawn. Then he can take her away. He promised her. He is not a dove, but a hawk.But he was too tired from flying, and he also wanted to find a place where he could rest safely.

The lights illuminate a shed of purple winged flowers in the yard desertedly, and the flowers are also swaying in the wind. Bai Yujing put on his boots, which were old and comfortable. He also felt very comfortable in his heart, because he knew that he had made the most difficult decision, which would change his whole life from now on. Strangely, the most significant change in a person's life is often decided in a flash. Is it because the emotion is so strong that it comes so quickly? ——Love is sudden, and only friendship can be deep because of accumulation. Fang Longxiang lived behind the small building.

As soon as Bai Yujing walked over, he found that Fang Longxiang had pushed open the door and was standing at the door looking at him. He appeared wide awake, apparently having not slept at all. Bai Yujing said: "Is there a woman in your house?" Fang Longxiang said: "Today's day is not good, so even women are suddenly out of stock in this place." Bai Yujing said: "Why don't you marry a wife, so as not to be unable to sleep at this time." Fang Longxiang said: "I'm not crazy yet." Bai Yujing said: "But I'm crazy." Fang Longxiang said: "Every man will inevitably go crazy once or twice, as long as he can wake up in time."

Bai Yujing smiled, just smiled. He knew that his current feelings were definitely beyond Xiao Fang's comprehension. Fang Longxiang also smiled, and said: "But I didn't expect that you are such a good friend that you are still free to come to me tonight." Bai Yujing said: "I didn't come to find you; I want you to find someone." Fang Longxiang asked, "Who are you looking for?" Bai Yujing said: "Do you know where the official who wore the red tassel hat and the lotus root powder seller went?" Fang Longxiang frowned and said, "They didn't look for you, but you want to look for them instead?"

Bai Yujing said: "Don't you know how to strike first?" Fang Longxiang thought for a while and said, "Maybe I can find them." Bai Yujing said: "Okay, you can go find them, I'll wait at the restaurant where you eat." Fang Longxiang looked at him, hesitant and doubtful, and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want to do?" Bai Yujing said: "I just want to give them something." Fang Longxiang said, "What is it?" Bai Yujing said: "I will give whatever they want." Fang Longxiang sighed, and said: "Okay, I'll look for it, I just hope you don't kill people there, and don't get killed, lest I won't be able to eat in the future."

Young Master Zhu seemed to have fallen asleep as well. Suddenly, the window was opened with a "bang", and a person stood by the window. In an instant, this person had arrived at his bedside, and the scabbard in his hand was pressed against his throat. "Come with me." Young Master Zhu had no choice but to follow. He never imagined that there is such a fast skill in the world.When he walked out the door, the man in black followed behind him like a shadow—not to protect him, but to ask him to protect him. When he walked out the door, he found Miao Shaotian and the three members of the Azure Dragon Society standing in the yard, their faces not much prettier than his.

The lamps are lit, ten lamps. Although the lights were bright, everyone's faces were still very ugly. Bai Yujing was an exception, he even had a smile on his face. It's a pity that no one looked at his face, everyone's eyes were fixed on his sword. The old scabbard and the satin wrapped around the hilt were also old, and the original color could no longer be seen. "This sword must have killed many people." The sword in this old scabbard must be terrifyingly sharp, because this is the scariest sword in the Jianghu. Longevity Sword! He can only kill, and no one can kill him.

First Young Master Zhu suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have offended Miao Shaotian, otherwise if the two of them joined forces, there might still be hope, but now... Now he suddenly saw the white horses Zhang San and Zhao Yidao walking in. These two are undoubtedly the first-class masters in the arena. Young Master Zhu's eyes were filled with hope again—— Everyone knows in their hearts that they have only two choices now. kill!Or be killed! Everyone is wrong. Bai Yujing also knew that they were wrong, but deliberately lowered his face and said, "I already know the reason why everyone came here."

No one answered.There is almost no one in this house who is not a veteran.Old Jianghu would never speak unless necessary. After Bai Yujing finished speaking, he also stopped, staring at First Young Master Zhu, and then looked over one by one, until he saw Zhao Yidao, and then slowly said: "Who I am, everyone must know." Everyone nodded, and their eyes involuntarily glanced at the sword again. Bai Yujing suddenly smiled and said, "What you want is on me." Everyone's eyes were wide open, and they were full of longing, longing, and greed. The white horse Zhang San was originally a very handsome man, but now he suddenly became indescribably hateful.

Only the man in black still had no expression on his face, because he had no desire in his heart. He was usually an ugly person, but among this group of people, he seemed to suddenly become cute. Bai Yujing said: "If you want something like this, it's very simple, as long as you promise me one thing." Young Master Zhu couldn't help but asked, "What's the matter?" Bai Yujing said: "Take this thing, leave immediately, and never come to me again." Everyone's eyes opened wider, looking surprised and delighted.No one could have imagined that his conditions were so simple and easy. First Young Master Zhu coughed twice, forced a smile and said, "We have never had a feud with Mr. Bai, and we have admired Mr. Bai's reputation for a long time. As long as we can get such a thing, of course we will leave immediately. Besides, I think In the future, no one will dare to disturb Mr. Bai again." Zhao Yidao immediately nodded in agreement; the white horse Zhang San and the three members of the Azure Dragon Club had nothing to say, but Miao Shaotian had something to say. He suddenly asked: "I don't know who Mr. Bai intends to give this thing to?" Bai Yujing said: "This is your own business. You'd better discuss it first." The white horse Zhang San looked at Miao Shaotian, then at Young Master Zhu, frowned and remained silent. The three members of the Azure Dragon Society seemed to stand up and speak, but they rolled their eyes and held back. First Young Master Zhu suddenly said: "This thing originally came from the Azure Dragon Society, so it should be returned to the elder brothers of the Azure Dragon Society." Zhao Yidao clapped his hands and said, "Not bad! It makes sense." The three members of the Azure Dragon Society immediately stood up and bowed to the two of them. One of them said: "You two stand up for justice, and the Azure Dragon Society will never forget the benefits of you two." Zhao Yidao leaned back and said, "Don't dare." First Young Master Zhu smiled and said: "Wan Jintang will rely on the Azure Dragon Club for many things in the future, why should the three elder brothers be polite!" Although this man looked like a young master who was full of food all day long, he was very shrewd and sophisticated in what he said and did. He was just a standard businessman. Seeing the wind turn the rudder, opportunistic, these things seem to be innately understood by him. Miao Shaotian glared at him fiercely, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, there was nothing he could do. Bai Yujing said, "Is this the way to decide this matter?" Miao Shaotian said: "Hmph." Bai Yujing let out a long breath, took out a gold-woven brocade pouch from his arms, and threw it on the table.No matter what was in the bag, the bag seemed to be of great value, but he just threw it away like trash. Everyone stared at the kit and looked at each other, but no one could speak. Bai Yujing said coldly: "The things are already on the table, why don't you take them away?" The three members of the Blue Dragon Society glanced at each other, and one of them came over, unwrapped the bag and shook it, and dozens of colorful things immediately rolled down on the table, including Persian opals, gemstones from Tianzhu, Khotan Beautiful jade, pearls as big as longan, even the lights seem to be lit up. Bai Yujing leaned lazily on the chair, looking at the pile of jewels, with a strange expression in his eyes. These things are not easy to come by, and he has also paid a price. He knew well what it stood for—good wine, fine clothes, clean and comfortable beds, gentle and beautiful women, and the envy and respect of men. These are indispensable for a man like him, but now that he has abandoned them, he has no regrets in his heart. Because he knows he has got something better; because all the wealth in the world can't fill the loneliness and emptiness in his heart. But now he was no longer lonely and empty. The wealth is on the table, and it is strange that no one has yet reached out to take it. What's even more strange is that instead of showing joy in the eyes of these people, they looked very disappointed. Bai Yujing raised his head, looked at them, frowned and said, "What else do you want?" First Young Master Zhu shook his head, and the three members of the Azure Dragon Society also shook their heads. First Young Master Zhu suddenly said: "Young Master Bai wait here for a while, let's go out for a while and be right back." Bai Yujing said: "What else do you need to discuss?" First Young Master Zhu forced a smile and said, "It's a little thing." Bai Yujing looked at him, hesitated, and finally let him go out. All the people went out. Bai Yujing sneered.He has no fear of these people at all, nor is he afraid of their conspiracy. He was willing to pay these, just because he wanted to take her away well, and he didn't want her to be frightened or hurt any more. He himself did not want to bleed any more.It is a foolish thing to shed blood for these things. But what more do they want now?He couldn't figure it out. The windows were open and he could see them in action.No one went to the small building, and the small building was still very peaceful. She must still be sleeping soundly. Asleep she looked like a baby, so innocent, so sweet. Bai Yujing couldn't help showing a smile—— All of a sudden, all the people really came back, each with a bundle in his hand, put it on the table, and untied it. The white horse Zhang San brought a pearl of Dendrobium. Miao Shaotian is a stack of golden leaves. Qinglonghui is a box of silver tickets. Young Master Zhu is a brand new silver ticket. These things are already a fortune for anyone, and their value is by no means inferior to Bai Yujing's jewelry. Bai Yujing couldn't help asking, "What are you guys doing?" First Young Master Zhu stood up and said: "This is our little respect to Mr. Bai, please accept it." Bai Yujing is a person who is difficult to be moved, but now he can't help being stunned. Instead of his jewels, they sent him riches. What is this for? He couldn't figure it out either. First Young Master Zhu coughed softly, and said again: "We... We also want to ask Mr. Bai to agree to one thing." Bai Yujing said: "What's the matter?" Young Master Zhu said: "I don't know how long Master Bai plans to stay here?" Bai Yujing said: "I'm leaving at dawn." First Young Master Zhu smiled and said, "That's great." Bai Yujing said: "What are you talking about?" First Young Master Zhu smiled and said, "Since Mr. Bai is leaving, what else is there to do?" Bai Yujing was stunned again. He originally thought that they would not let him leave, but they only wanted him to leave quickly, and they were willing to give him a fortune. What is this for? He couldn't figure it out even more. First Young Master Zhu hesitated, and then said: "It's just that I don't know if Mr. Bai left alone?" Bai Yujing suddenly understood. It turned out that what they were looking for was not him, but Yuan Zixia, but because they were concerned about his longevity sword, they never dared to do it. They did not hesitate to pay such a high price to get her. What purpose did they have for her? If she was really just a girl who ran away from marriage, how could she attract so many martial arts masters from Weizhen? Could it be that what she said was all lies? Could it be that she said this just to impress him and ask him to protect her? Is it because of this that she begged him to stop talking to these people and to take her away quietly? Bai Yujing's heart sank. Everyone was looking at him, waiting for his answer. The gold jewelry on the table shone blindingly under the lamp, but no one took a look. What they want is of course more valuable. what is that? Is it Yuan Zixia, or something on her body? First Young Master Zhu looked at the expression on his face, and tentatively said: "We also know that Mr. Bai and that Miss Yuan just met by chance. Of course, Mr. Bai will not offend his friends because of her." Bai Yujing said coldly, "You are not my friends." Young Master Zhu apologized and said with a smile: "We don't dare to climb high. It's just that Mr. Bai will meet many women like Miss Yuan in the future, so why bother..." Bai Yujing interrupted him and said, "Isn't she what you want?" First Young Master Zhu smiled and said, "Of course not." Bai Yujing said: "What exactly do you want?" First Young Master Zhu's eyes flickered, and he said, "Master Bai doesn't know?" Bai Yujing shook his head. First Young Master Zhu showed a treacherous smile on his face, and said slowly: "Perhaps it's better that Mr. Bai doesn't know." He was obviously afraid that Bai Yujing would also want to share their pie, so he still refused to say what that thing was. The value of that thing is undoubtedly greater than all the gold jewels here. But Bai Yujing couldn't figure it out even more. How could there be anything precious on Yuan Zixia's body?Hadn't her whole house been turned over by them? First Young Master Zhu said: "In my opinion, Mr. Bai doesn't need to think about it at all. With so many gold, silver and jewels, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a woman who is as beautiful as a fairy?" Bai Yujing slowly picked up her jewels one by one and put them back into the bag. Then he walked out. Without saying a word, he walked out. Everyone was staring at him with hatred in their eyes, but no one made a move. Because they still have to wait for someone, someone who can deal with the Longevity Sword. They have confidence in this person. The long night is not over yet. It was the darkest hour before dawn, but the air was cold and fresh. Bai Yujing raised his head and took a long breath—— He suddenly found two figures reflected by the light in the window of the small building. The figure of a person is slender and slender, that is Yuan Zixia; what about another person? The shadows of the two seem to be very close. Are they discussing something quietly? Young Master Zhu, Zhao Yidao, Miao Shaotian, Baima Zhangsan and the three members of the Azure Dragon Club are all downstairs. Who is this person upstairs? Bai Yujing held the scabbard tightly in his hand, his hand was colder than the scabbard. He really didn't know whether he should go upstairs or not.
