Since ancient times, sand devils have conquered villains

Shi Dai made an agreement with Yeyoushen to wait for them to return to Chang'an in ten days before discussing the courier cooperation in detail.
Promoting a business is not a trivial matter, and she has to talk to her mother, Meng Ke, who is more experienced.

After walking around the West Market for a whole day, everyone felt a little tired.After seeing off Ye Youshen, Shi Dai said goodbye to Yan Qinghuan and Liu Rutang and returned to Shi Mansion.

It's just past Hai Shi, so it's still early.Meng Ke and Shi Jingcheng were making tea and admiring the moon in the pavilion. She happened to meet them and told her parents about the night wandering god today.

"Night wandering god?"
Meng Ke was startled for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows and muttered: "That's right. The Night Wandering God travels all over the world, passing through thousands of households..."

A born businessman!

"Dede my treasure."
After listening carefully to the whole story, Meng Ke took Shi Dai into his arms and said, "How smart."

"I've seen Night Wanderer several times."
Shi Jingcheng smiled and said: "These dozen immortals may seem to be fierce, cold, and unreasonable, but in fact they have clear minds."

The duty of the night wandering gods is to eliminate violence and keep good people safe. In their hearts, there is the purest goodwill.

"Yeyoushen has left Chang'an?"
Thinking that it would take ten days to see each other, Meng Ke felt a little regretful: "Tomorrow I will think about how to maximize their role - by the way, Dai Dai, what do you call this worker?"

"express delivery."
Shi Dai gave a thumbs up: "Use the fastest speed to deliver the customer's goods to the destination."

Vivid, simple and easy to remember.
Meng Ke thought it was very feasible.

Zombie delivery has gradually become famous, allowing goods in stores to be easily transported to surrounding towns.
Then there is the Yeyoushen Express, which is responsible for long-distance delivery. With a two-pronged approach, the business can be spread throughout Dazhao.

In the past, this was something that was unthinkable.

"People in the world keep away from ghosts and gods. In this way, the night wandering gods can also get some of the smoke and fire of the world."

Shi Jingcheng said while pouring tea for several people.

The fine Mengding tea has a light fragrance and is refreshing.
Shi Dai lowered her head and sniffed, and heard Jiang Baiyan's voice: "Master, there is no need to pour tea for me."

Shi Dai turned her gaze sideways.

In front of outsiders, Jiang Baiyan was always warm and reserved, standing upright under the pavilion, with a thin shadow cast by the corners of the eaves.
His voice became clearer, and his tone was unmistakably respectful and modest: "I'm a little tired today, so I'll go back to my room first."

"That's right. Thank you for spending a whole day with them shopping in the West Market."
Shi Jingcheng knew his temperament and did not force him: "I have obtained a new sword manual, which will be of benefit to you. I will send it to you tomorrow."

"Bai Yan is leaving now?"
Meng Ke brought him some snacks: "Take these back to eat. They are freshly baked and warm."

Jiang Baiyan habitually raised his lips: "Thank you."

He quickly turned around and left. In the gentle winter wind, he heard Shi Dai's crisp voice: "Master Jiang, have a good rest!"

Jiang Baiyan paused slightly and did not look back: "Miss Shi, too."

Continuing to move forward, Meng Ke's laughter to Shi Dai and others came from the wind: "I went to the West Market today. What good things did I buy?"

"Spices, biscuits, small silverware from barbarians..."
Shi Dai replied: "Hu cakes are very delicious, and the night wandering gods also like them very much."

Shen Liushuang's tone was lazy, as if she was tired: "I also went to Qinghong to watch the dance. Yun Sheng was so smoked that I felt dizzy and even sneezed."
Shi Yunsheng hummed: "It smells like flowers."

Shi Dai followed closely behind, smiling softly: "But it's really fragrant and comfortable."
In fact, for ordinary people, the aroma in Qinghong Tower is not strong, but controlled within the right range, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Shi Yunsheng is sensitive to the fragrance of flowers because he has the wolf's demon elixir in his body.

Shi Jingcheng: "I will take you to the far north another day, where there are wild bears that have grown into spirits and dance. It's very interesting."
Shi Dai was very supportive: "Eh--!"

Jiang Baiyan didn't listen deliberately. These sounds followed the wind and poured into his ears.
His expression was always calm. When he left the person, his warm and polite fake smile faded away, and his lip line was straightened like a thin knife.

The gloomy night shone into his eyes, revealing the murderous intent deep in his pupils.

It was the New Year, and everyone in the Shi family gathered together and laughed. This kind of day did not belong to him.
Jiang Baiyan had more important things to do than drinking tea and admiring the moon.

The black gold dagger in his sleeve flashed past, and he stroked the handle lightly with his fingertips. He had a premonition of the approaching joy and fighting spirit.

Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes and smiled.

After many days of searching, he found that one of the men in black who was hiding in Chang'an City and participated in the murder of the Jiang family had been traced.

*
Most of Hai hour has passed.
The clear night is dust-free, with only a few cold stars.The sky is green with the moon's shadow, and the outline of Chang'an City is vague.

A drunken middle-aged man was walking alone on the street, staggering and almost falling.

Fortunately, he was an expert, with a strong back and a very stable lower body. He stood on his heels in an instant, cursed and shook the money bag in his hand.

"Lost all again."

The empty money bag made him irritable and he used his remaining consciousness to think about where to make money next.

Just accept a murder commission.

A killer like him who licks blood with his blade earns money from human life.As long as his employer obediently gives him money, he is willing to stab no matter the princes, nobles or common people.
Of course, the premise is that it’s not troublesome.

When I get older, I am not as enthusiastic as when I was young. I am not afraid of anything, and I dare to take any orders.
Nowadays, he is much more cautious and kills people for safety.

The cold wind blew all the way back home, and when he opened the courtyard door, the man yawned.

He was used to being carefree. He was still unmarried when he was nearly forty years old and had only two or three servants by his side.
The strange thing is that whenever he comes home, he is greeted by his servants with smiling faces. Tonight...

The courtyard was unusually quiet.

His killer instinct told him that there was danger.

The sudden attack he imagined did not appear. He drew his sword with vigilance and caught a glimpse of a man dressed in white.

It was a young boy with a face as beautiful as a crown jewel and smiling eyes. He stood under the eaves and looked at him with unclear meaning.
If the situation wasn't too weird, looking at the young man's casual and casual attitude, he looked like a rich man who accidentally passed by and took shelter from the snow under the eaves.

The man saw clearly the sword at his waist.

"rest assured."
Jiang Baiyan said: "The others just fainted."

"you……"
Completely sober from the drunkenness, the man trembled and said in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"

This person is probably here for revenge.
After being a killer for a long time, a man has self-awareness.

In just one breath, he thought of the many souls who died under his own sword.
The family of three killed a month ago, two elders of the Baili family, the son of a wealthy businessman in Nanhai...

Who is the person in front of me avenging?
Jiang Baiyan didn't answer, he raised his hand and drew his sword.The clear light is like snow, and it connects with the moonlight in the sky, which is so cold that I feel frightened.

Jiang Baiyan smiled at him in a humble and polite manner: "Come."

As soon as he finished speaking, the blade of the sword struck the sky like an eagle, approaching suddenly!

This bastard.
Cursing secretly in his heart, the middle-aged man raised his sword and blocked the blow.

The iron tools collided and trembled endlessly.His mouth was numb and he was almost losing strength.
The man gritted his teeth, the blade scraped off the Shuishui Sword and slashed out diagonally.

During his days as a killer, he killed countless people and was hunted by countless people.
Being able to survive to this day depends not only on luck.

The young man in front of me is only seventeen or eighteen years old at most. How capable can he be?
The sword attack became more and more fierce, like a strong wind whipping up a fire. For a moment, the entire courtyard was filled with the heartbreaking sound of swords clashing.

Gradually, the man felt something was wrong.
A horrifying suspicion gripped him tightly, his wrists trembled slightly, and his back was covered with cold sweat.

The strange boy in white always fought back and forth with him, never gaining a clear upper hand.
However, if you look carefully, you will see that the other party's expression is as casual as ever, and his moves are leisurely and casual, as if he is——

The man's heart trembled.
Playing tricks on him.

This is not a fight to the death, but a cat-and-mouse game in which the outcome is already determined.

The long sword pierced the air and buzzed suddenly.
The man heard the other party's calm voice: "That's it?"

Is your swordsmanship just like this?
Intense anger overwhelmed him, and was replaced by unspeakable fear in an instant.

The swordsmanship suddenly accelerated, and it was almost difficult to catch it with sight.The murderous aura was like a gust of wind and rain, and in the firelight of the friction of the swords, the hood was suddenly covered.
Like a snake biting his lifeblood.

No... something is wrong!
Rarely in his life, the man just wanted to let go of the sword immediately, turn around and run away.

But he couldn't do it.

Jiang Baiyan's sword was faster than his. After a few breaths of fighting, the blade flew away easily.The long knife fell to the ground, breaking water like a snake. White scales appeared in the moonlight, lying across the man's neck.
The killing intent was no longer concealed, it poured out from the sword's edge and turned into an airtight net, making him unable to move.

He had never experienced such terrifying murderous intent.
The middle-aged man couldn't stop trembling.

Who was this man who suddenly drew his sword at him?Why kill him?This madman is still laughing——

In other words, it is more like a beast showing its fangs than raising its lips and smiling softly.

The young man's peach blossom eyes were narrow and beautiful, looking at him, but his gaze was like the cold tip of a poisonous snake's tail.
In the dark pupils, all the human qualities were stripped away, reminding him of a bottomless swamp, leaving only filthy blood and mud.

Jiang Baiyan's voice was soft and unhurried: "The first day of March, remember?"

The first day of March?
The chaotic memory turned over and over again, and finally he realized something. The man's pupils tightened, and his eyes were full of fear, fear and disbelief burst out: "You——!"

Judging from his expression, he remembered it.
Broken water gently penetrated the side of the man's neck, Jiang Baiyan's tone was as usual, as if he was discussing today's weather: "Who ordered you to do this?"

"Are you from the Jiang family?"
The middle-aged man's eyes were splitting: "Don't kill me... don't kill me! I don't know anything!"

Jiang Baiyan remained silent.

The answer is almost the same as expected.
Over the years, he has found one after another black-clothed killers involved in Jiang Mansion's murder case. When he asked about the person behind the scenes, he always had to say something.

do not know.

"I, I charge money to do things, I don't ask why, and I don't ask who the customer is."
The middle-aged man stammered: "That person used a carrier pigeon to contact us, but he never showed up. I, I, I really don't know!"

He trembled a few times as he spoke, and choked with sobs: "It was my fault. I shouldn't have been so obsessed! The Jiang family is full of loyal people, I, we..."

The edge of the sword attached to the man's neck sank more, and a few drops of blood seeped down, connecting into a line.
Jiang Baiyan said nothing, and there was a bit of dull interest in his eyes as he looked at his blood.

Like a child curiously observing the insects on the roadside, Jiang Baiyan was also admiring the man's skin and flesh split open and blood flowing.
It gave him pure joy.

This madman...!Make it clear that you intend to kill him!
In a life-and-death situation, in order to survive, the killer's nature is completely aroused.The man tried his best to dodge quickly and swept his right leg across.

He heard a quiet laugh.

The next moment, my thigh was swallowed up by severe pain——
Duan Shui raised his hand diagonally, and the moment the sword light came out, his legs were cut off.

Blood spurted out and the man suddenly fell to the ground, wailing at the top of his lungs.

The unprecedented pain was overwhelming. He cried bitterly, sometimes cursing, sometimes begging for mercy. In the end, he no longer knew what he said and could only scream in despair.

"I have set up a formation here, and the sound will not be transmitted outside."

Jiang Baiyan didn't care that his white clothes were stained with blood, and twitched the corner of his mouth in a good mood.

The bright red liquid rolled down one after another, making a soft ticking sound.
There was no mercy or mercy in his eyes when he looked at the man, his sword was raised lightly and condescendingly.

Like a devil from purgatory.

"Next," Jiang Baiyan said warmly, "Where should I stab it?"

*
To deal with this man, Jiang Baiyan only needed a cup of tea.

The middle-aged man is a killer and has countless enemies, so it is impossible to find him.
What's more, the massacre of Jiang Mansion is an unsolved case. Except for Jiang Baiyan, who experienced it personally, no one knew that the man participated in that massacre.

He left no clues. In order not to arouse suspicion from others, he washed away the blood stains at the dead man's home, changed into identical clothes, and escaped easily.

It was almost midnight when we arrived at Shi Mansion.

His courtyard was deserted and dark, and when he opened the door, there was the creaking sound of the decaying wooden door.
When the candle is lit, the firelight overflows, and finally there is more bright color.

Jiang Baiyan stared at the candlelight silently.

The smile during the killing was gone, and only a blank and dead silence remained on his face.
He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, it was like weeds growing in the mud.

He never found out the truth.
Just like his incompetent self many years ago, he is still kept in the dark to this day.

why?
Seemingly annoyed, yet also as a punishment to himself, Jiang Baiyan stretched out his left hand to cover the knife wound on his right arm.

The pleasure brought by killing faded away like a tide, and he urgently needed something to vent his crazy self-destructive thoughts.

This time the force was stronger than the previous times, and the fingertips pressed into the open wound and penetrated the flesh.

The blood is hotter than flesh.
Jiang Baiyan thought.
Winter nights are extremely cold and if more blood is shed, will it be warmer?
The smell of blood filled the bedroom. He gasped softly due to the severe pain, and cold sweat dripped down, creating a pale arc on his cheeks.

The hot blood stained his hands, and it was clearly a warm touch that Jiang Baiyan still felt was not enough.
My limbs and limbs were filled with severe pain, but the feeling of emptiness was getting stronger and stronger, as if they had been eaten away by moths and turned into empty shells.

He is an empty shell.

Inexplicably, Jiang Baiyan remembered the moment when Shi Dai touched the wound that night when he was drunk.
It was a feeling different from pain, passing by like a feather, giving him a strange satisfaction.

Shidai.
He thought absently that she was probably eating cakes and looking at the moon with her parents.

Jiang Baiyan's figure was shaking slightly, either because it was too cold in the middle of the night or because he was bleeding too much.
Looking up, there was a bright moon hanging by the window, illuminating the plum blossoms he had inserted in the porcelain vase.

He was so hurt that he lost consciousness. Thinking of Shi Dai, he felt funny——
The fish-shaped sapphire was still on his body. As a gift from Plum Blossom, why didn't he just give it to her?Don't want to, or don't dare?
What's not to dare?
Anyway, it is impossible to have too many characters involved.

Jiang Baiyan smiled sarcastically and placed his fingertips on another wound.
Just as he was about to press it, a thumping noise sounded in the groggy silence.

Someone is knocking on the door.

"Mr. Jiang——"
It was a voice that was deliberately lowered, lest it wake him up: "Are you asleep?"

Jiang Baiyan's thoughts stagnated for a moment.
He spoke after a while, his voice hoarse: "Miss Shi?"

Knowing that he was awake, Shi Dai buttoned the front door again.
It means asking him to open the door.

Now that the baby is about to be born, what will she do?
Wrapping his right arm tightly with a bandage, Jiang Baiyan walked out of the bedroom and opened the front door.

Shi Dai obviously smelled the strong smell of blood on his body, and her eyelashes trembled: "Mr. Jiang, are you bleeding again?"

His face was so pale.

"...no problem."
Jiang Baiyan: "I was bandaging the wound, but it hasn't healed yet and is bleeding."

An excuse that couldn't be further from the truth.
He was silent for a moment and then asked quietly: "Is there anything wrong with Miss Shi?"

Shi Dai was a little surprised: "You won't forget, right? Today is that day - our blood Gu!"

Jiang Baiyan:......
Jiang Baiyan: "Blood Gu?"

He remembered.
The blood poison attacks once every half month, and it has been a while since Shi Dai last fed blood.

Should the blood poison attack today?
Jiang Baiyan couldn't remember clearly.

"The last blood poison attack was in the second half of Zishi."
Shi Dai said: "I came to see you at [-]:[-] a.m., but you don't seem to be here."

Fortunately, when she came back for the second time, she saw candles lit in the room.

Jiang Baiyan said nonsense: "I went outside to get some fresh air."

Shi Dai didn't think much and looked at his face: "The blood poison hasn't attacked yet, has it?"
She remembered that last time, Jiang Baiyan was so painful that his whole body was shaking and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Ah."
His right arm ached, and the previously unfillable feeling of emptiness subsided strangely.
Jiang Baiyan half-joked and asked her casually: "Miss Shi, have you always remembered the date?"

"Of course."
Shi Dai straightened her back seriously: "Unlike you, I carefully marked it on the calendar."

It was Jiang Baiyan who was in pain, but he actually didn't care about it, and he wasn't made of copper or iron.

She spoke seriously, frowning slightly, her eyes as clear as water under the moon, as if reproachful.
Even the few strands of wild hair that were blown up by the wind were swaying around on top of his head. Different from his usual good temper, this time he showed off his claws and showed off his power at him.

My heart felt like it had been rubbed randomly.

Jiang Baiyan heard her whisper: "I can't let you suffer the pain silently like last time."
