On the dining table, the food and wine smells as sweet. 饭桌上,酒菜飘香。 Several tables of guests, some are putting together the liquor, some were reading poems, some at the merriment, the atmosphere were relaxed. 身边几桌客人,有的在拼酒,有的在吟诗,有的在笑闹,氛围轻松欢快。 Fang Yuan and Li Ran face-to-face sit, in surface is very gentle, but fact at daggers drawn, the undercurrent is turbulent. In the Li Ran heart hidden bone-chilling cold killing intent, Fang Yuan seems like relaxed, is guarding against the opposite party. 方源和李然面对面坐着,表面上十分平和,但事实却剑拔弩张,暗流汹涌。李然心中暗藏凛冽杀机,方源看似轻松,也防备着对方。 „Actually are you who?” Li Ran using sound of the heart Gu Dao. “你究竟是谁？”李然运用心音蛊道。 „I have said that this issue is unimportant. Takes the sesame seed cake to me.” First half a word Fang Yuan replied with the sound of the heart gu, latter half a word is the direct opens the mouth. “我说过,这个问题并不重要。把烧饼拿给我。”前半句方源用心音蛊回答,后半句则是直接开口。 Li Ran has gawked, paper-insulated will push to Fang Yuan. 李然楞了一下,将纸包推给方源。 Fang Yuan opens paper-insulated, takes out the sesame seed cake, has bit one, nods, said with a smile lightly: „Is this flavor, troubles you, excuse me.” 方源打开纸包,取出烧饼,咬了一口,点点头,淡淡地笑道:“就是这个味道,真是麻烦你了,不好意思。” Then uses the sound of the heart gu: „You know that I track your several times, under this restaurant, by chance the belly was hungry, has bought the sesame seed cake conveniently. Discovered that it is very unexpectedly delicious, do you also taste?” 接着又用心音蛊:“你知道吗,我跟踪你几次,就在这酒楼下,恰巧肚子饿了,顺手买了烧饼。发现它竟然十分好吃,你也尝尝吧？” Where Li Ran has the mood to taste this sesame seed cake. 李然哪里有心情去尝这烧饼。 He in heart snort/hum, saying with sound transmission: „You did not fear that I do intoxicate?” 他在心中哼了一声,传音道:“你就不怕我下毒？” Superficial floating off smiling face: „Slight effort, is far from troublesome. We are any friendship.” 表面则浮起笑容:“举手之劳嘛,谈不上麻烦。咱们是什么交情呀。” „He He He.” Fang Yuan smiles to make noise, is staring at Li Ran meaningfully, in the heart sound transmission, „what gu you have, amn't I clear?” “呵呵呵。”方源笑出声来,意味深长地盯着李然,心中传音,“你有什么蛊,我还不清楚么？” The Li Ran smiling face is more abundant, in the heart actually suddenly sinks. 李然笑容更盛,心中却陡然一沉。 „His is striking me! Right, the enemy is dark I to be bright, he tracks me, I had not realized unexpectedly. Should already investigate my details clear. If I begin with him, perhaps is more unfortunate than fortunate. Therefore he taking advantage of this sesame seed cake, warns me!” “他这是在敲打我！没错,敌暗我明,他跟踪我,我居然没有察觉。应该早就把我的底细调查得一清二楚。我若和他动手,恐怕凶多吉少。所以他借这烧饼,来警告我！” Fang Yuan sees Li Ran not to speak, vision glitters unceasingly, knows that struck, then took out stars stone to come. 方源见李然不说话,目光不断闪烁,知道敲打住了,便取出星辰石来。 The Li Ran vision was attracted immediately, but forcefully is transferred at once by him. 李然的目光顿时被吸引,但旋即又被他强行挪移走。 a moment later, the Fang Yuan's sound resounds in his heart: „You do not need to install, I know in this seal Going All-Out Gu.” 下一刻,方源的声音就在他心中响起:“你不用装,我知道这里面封印着全力以赴蛊。” „What?!” Li Ran such as liked a sudden thunderclap, mind shock. “什么？！”李然如遭受五雷轰顶,心神剧震。 Even if he performs the skill to be deep, on this moment face also the can't help but changes countenance, reveals to be flurried and fear. 就算是他表演功力深厚,此刻脸上也不禁变色,流露出慌乱和恐惧。 He also has formerly been expecting, the secret of this stars stone will not expose. After all it stems from the hand of Wei Shenjing, does not have the flaw, but has not thought that the matter to so the region, the opposite party actually knew in this dangerously seal Going All-Out Gu! 他先前还一直期望着,这星辰石的秘密不会暴露。毕竟它出自卫神经之手,毫无破绽,但没想到事情已经险恶到如此境地,对方竟然知道这里面封印着全力以赴蛊！ „Waits, Going All-Out Gu matter, only then few people know. In I was also some time ago, just took from the hand of attachment person. How does he know?” “等一等,全力以赴蛊的事情,只有极少数人知道。我也是不久前,刚刚从接头人的手中拿到手里。他怎么知道的？” „Matter was complex...... I self-confident does not have the flaw, this information extremely possibly is main family reveals! The main family can send my such undercover, naturally can also send the main family to the Fang Family clan. Matter that Southern Border several big first-class families, the mutual seepage, various school of undercovers, already each other are well aware.” “事情复杂了……我自信自己这边毫无破绽,这情报极可能是本家方面泄露出去的！本家能派遣我这样的卧底,对方家族自然也能派遣到本家来。南疆几大一流家族,相互渗透,各派卧底,早已经是彼此心知肚明的事情了。” „Otherwise explained, the opposite party does know the Going All-Out Gu fact? Right, I so am careful, how possibly to get the handle by him, arouses suspicion? The main family was seeped to this situation unexpectedly, is really fearful!” “要不然怎么解释,对方得知全力以赴蛊的事实？没错,我如此小心谨慎,怎么可能被他抓住把柄,引起怀疑？只是本家居然已经被渗透到这种地步了,真是可怕！” „But perhaps, is also not true. In this world, there is too a unusual gu......” “但或许,也并非如此。这个世界中,有太多奇特的蛊……” Fang Yuan leaves time of Li Ran full ponder. 方源留给李然充分思考的时间。 He is the smart person, more many of ponder, is surprised layer on layer/heavily. subconsciously, will think Fang Yuan formidable, is more mystical, is more fearful, his energy is also getting more and more weak. 他是聪明人,思考的越多,就越是惊疑重重。下意识地,就会将方源想得更强大,更神秘,更可怕,他的底气也就越来越弱。 Fang Yuan is caressing the stars stone lightly, waited for a meeting, thought that the crucial moment was similar , to continue saying with sound transmission: „I want Going All-Out Gu.” 方源轻抚着星辰石,又等了一会,觉得火候差不多了,继续传音道:“我想要全力以赴蛊。” Li Ran has gawked, suddenly has not understood the Fang Yuan's profound meaning. 李然楞了一下,一时间没有理解方源的深意。 „But I know, if I take away this gu, I will receive the ambush and retaliation of your family. Therefore, I need your cooperation.” The Fang Yuan vision is spooky. “但是我知道,如果我拿走这只蛊,我将受到你家的狙击和报复。所以,我需要你的合作。”方源目光幽幽。 Can plan Shang Family, surely is the same level Great Clan. If Fang Yuan seizes Going All-Out Gu forcefully, must with this influence be the enemy. 能够算计商家的,必定是同等的大家族。方源若强行夺走全力以赴蛊,就要与这股势力为敌。 This stars stone, looks like the bait on fishhook. Fang Yuan wants to eat this bait, must avoid this fishhook fluttering own mouth. 这块星辰石,就像是鱼钩上的鱼饵。方源想吃掉这饵,同时也要避免这鱼钩勾住自己的嘴。 Li Ran can't help but reveals the taunt happy expression: „You must make me work with you unexpectedly, is really the joke, why?” 李然不禁流露出嘲讽的笑意:“你居然要让我跟你合作,真是笑话,凭什么？” „Depends on me not to want really with you for the enemy, depends on me to have the Purple Thorn token, actually does not want to reveal you, depends on me to be the same with you, there is a person who wants to protect.” Fang Yuan in the heart was saying to Li Ran, while looks to out of the window. “就凭我不想真的和你为敌,就凭我拥有紫荆令牌,却不想揭穿你,就凭我和你一样,也有想守护的人。”方源一边心中对李然说着,一边对望向窗外。 Meanwhile, on his mouth said: „Hears that tofu flavor right.” 同时,他嘴上说道:“听说那家的豆腐味道不错。” Li Ran narrows both eyes, in eye seam the ominous light reveals completely, he low roaring sound in heart: „Are you are threatening me?!” 李然眯起双眼,眼缝中凶光毕露,他在心中低喝:“你这是在威胁我？！” Fang Yuan shakes the head, in the eye such as smoke cloud flutters, reveals a complex emotion. Li Ran catches in this emotion instantaneously moved and sad, helpless, the sentiment of recalling. 方源摇摇头,眼中如烟云飘荡,流露出一丝复杂的情感。李然瞬间捕捉到这份情感中的伤感、悲伤、无奈、缅怀之情。 „You also not clear own situation?” said solemnly of Fang Yuan in the heart, „looks like our people, mixes with between two influences, every day lives like the wire walking, the real emotion forever will press in innermost feelings most deep place, perhaps a moment later must fall the head. Since has chosen this path, naturally must walk. For the family, your I have no complain and regret. Some people, are obviously innocent, why must take the risk because of us, was implicated?” “你还不清楚自己的处境吗？”方源在心中沉声道,“像我们这种人,夹杂在两个势力之间,每天生活都如走钢丝,将真实的情感永远压在内心最深处,说不定下一刻就要掉脑袋。既然选择了这条道路,自然要走下去。为了家族,你我也无怨无悔。只是有些人,明明是无辜的,为什么要因为我们而承担风险,受到牵连呢？” In the Li Ran heart shakes to shake, cannot believe looks to Fang Yuan: „don't tell me you are also...... Undercovers?” 李然心中抖震,不可置信地看向方源:“难道你也是……卧底？” Fang Yuan smiled reluctantly, the smiling face is bitter and astringent: „Did you say?” 方源无奈地笑了笑,笑容苦涩:“你说呢？” Li Ran sees such smiling face, both eyes brightly, closely is staring at Fang Yuan. 李然看到这样的笑容,双目炯炯,紧紧地盯着方源。 Fang Yuan's facial expression non- nature, he has not turned the head to look to out of the window. 方源的神情没有一丝的不自然,他转头看向窗外。 Li Ran knows, he looks to oneself wife and son. 李然知道,他是看向自己的妻、儿。 Fang Yuan's vision that temperate, that absent-minded, as if immerses in some recollection. 方源的目光是那么的温和,那么的恍惚,似乎沉浸在某种回忆当中。 Li Ran did not think that the Fang Yuan's mood is false, because the age of this youngster is limited, does such emotion possibly camouflage? Even if were he lived such age, camouflage. 李然不觉得方源的情绪是假的,因为这个少年的年龄有限,这样的情感怎么可能伪装出来？就算是他活了这么年纪,也伪装不来。 This is the true feelings reveals! 这是真情流露啊！ involuntarily, he raises a subtle sympathy to Fang Yuan. 不由地,他对方源升起一股微妙的认同感。 Is impoverished person from far away, met by chance why once was acquainted. 同是天涯沦落人,相逢何必曾相识。 Fang Yuan winked the eye, takes back the line of sight, opens the mouth saying: „Li Ran, you have ambushed for eight years in Merchant City. If your status has exposed, your duty on outright failure. Your failure, possibly endangers your life. But more importantly, is the loss of family, you will have disappointed the family to your expectation.” 方源眨了一下眼,收回视线,开口道:“李然,你在商家城潜伏了八年。如果你的身份暴露了,你的任务就彻底失败了。你的失败,可能危及你的生命。但更重要的,是家族的损失,你将辜负了家族对你的期望。” Li Ran involuntarily gets hold of the double fist. 李然不由地握紧双拳。 The Fang Yuan's words, spoke in his mind. 方源的话,说到他的心坎里去。 He is loyal and devoted to the family, rose the altitude of belief. Otherwise the family resembles will not select him, the acting did an inside job. 他对家族忠心耿耿,已经上升道信仰的高度。否则家族也不会像选中他,担当卧底了。 Fang Yuan also said: „You, if were defeated, your wife did not have the husband. Your son just the 5~6 year, did not have the father. Your status exposition, they have enormously possibly die because of you. You only then success step by step, crawls to the External Family Elder position, is your goal? But you think that it can be your end point? You will not ambush for a lifetime, so long as Shang Family not but actually, the family needs you to act as the undercover.” 方源又道:“你如果失败了,你的妻子就没有了丈夫。你的儿子才刚刚五六岁,就没有了父亲。你的身份暴露,他们有极大可能因你而死。你只有一步步的成功下去,爬到外姓家老的位置,是你的目标吧？但你认为它会是你的终点吗？不会,你会一辈子潜伏下去,只要商家不倒,家族就需要你充当卧底。” Li Ran can't help but clenches teeth. 李然不禁咬牙。 Fang Yuan's words, spoke of above. 方源的话,又说到点之上了。 These matters, hasn't he never considered? Thinks, cannot think. In the future is really too long, wants to be too many, the pressure is too big, instead will lose courage! 这些事情,他何尝没有考虑过？只是想着想着,就不敢想了。未来真的是太漫长,想太多,压力太大,反而会失去走下去的勇气！ „Therefore you need the ally, Li Ran brother.” Fang Yuan tells, „you will not betray the family, I will not betray the family. You have the person who wants to protect, I have. We can cooperate. We need the external force, comes and relatives and friends is safer by oneself, what we live can be better is the family makes the contribution. But Shang Family is our common goals.” “所以你需要盟友,李然兄。”方源娓娓道来,“你不会背叛家族,我也不会背叛家族。你有想保护的人,我也有。我们可以合作。我们需要外力,来让自己和亲友更安全,我们活着才能更好的为家族做贡献。而商家是我们共同的目标。” „Naturally, this cooperation, is only restricted in personal. If our back families make war, you will be the enemy who my must first eradicate.” paused for a moment, Fang Yuan adds. “当然,这种合作,只限于私人。如果我们背后的家族开战,你将是我第一个要铲除的敌人。”顿了一顿,方源补充道。 Li Ran coldly snorted, Fang Yuan said so straightforward, instead appears the authenticity of his these words. 李然冷哼一声,方源说的如此直白,反而更显出他这番话的真实性。 Regarding him, to the loyalty of family most important, next is to the loving care of family member, again next is to treasuring of own life. 对于他来讲,对家族的忠诚是首要的,其次是对家人的爱护,再其次是对自己生命的珍惜。 Fang Yuan's proposed, without doubt has met his these three needs. 方源的提议,无疑满足了他的这三个需求。 „But can this person believe at present really? The different influences, cooperation between undercovers, really indulges in fantasy! Perhaps...... Because of his young, his intelligence, his brave, will set such request? If I look like him to be so young, perhaps perhaps, such will do, perhaps!” “但眼前这个人真的可以相信吗？不同势力,卧底之间的合作,真是异想天开啊！也许……正是因为他的年轻,他的聪敏,他的胆大,才会提出这样的要求吧？如果我像他这般年轻,恐怕,恐怕也会这么做,也说不定！” Li Ran more ponders over, more thought that Fang Yuan has the sincerity. 李然越是琢磨,越觉得方源是有诚意的。 A most essential point is, he did not have the escape route! In front of Fang Yuan, he has exposed. 最关键的一点是,他已经没有退路了！在方源面前,他已经暴露了。 If Fang Yuan divulges him, his duty failed, his for ten years the effort vanishes into thin air entirely, can he be resigned? 如果方源把他透漏出去,他的任务就失败了,他十年来的努力统统化为乌有,他怎么能甘心？ The human nature is complex, including one is called luckily. 人性是复杂的,其中有一面叫做侥幸。 The person who Li Ran probably was compelled the cliff, the powerful enemy approaches, he only then jumps a cliff way. Even if he does not know that under the cliff will have anything, but he will still pray, hopes under the cliff has the deep deep pool, or crashes is rescued by the trees that in the stone seam grows on the way. 李然就好像是被逼上悬崖的人,强敌逼近,他只有跳崖一途。哪怕他根本不知道悬崖下会有什么,但他仍旧会祈祷,希望悬崖下有深潭,或者坠落途中被石头缝里生长的树木所救。 He fell into the long-time silence. 他陷入了长久的沉默。 After long time, he uses sound of the heart Gu Dao: „How should I believe you?” ” 半晌后,他才用心音蛊道:“我该如何相信你？”” Fang Yuan shows a faint smile, takes out Poison Oath Gu. 方源微微一笑,取出一只毒誓蛊。 ...... Three days later, Fang Yuan cuts Going All-Out Gu in the gambling stone work place, initiates the stir of entire gambling stone area. ……三天后,方源在赌石坊切出全力以赴蛊,引发整个赌石区的轰动。 „Heard? Some people in the blue nest gambling stone work place, cut Going All-Out Gu unexpectedly!” “听说了吗？有人在蓝巢赌石坊,居然切出了全力以赴蛊！” „Really is Going All-Out Gu? The gu of Far Ancient that is vanished, can the percentage hundred urge to send out beast strength phantom!” “真的是全力以赴蛊？那可是已经绝迹的上古之蛊,能够百分百催发出兽力虚影！” „Do you know now? hey hey, I know was more than you. This walked Dog Shit Luck, is called Ancient Moon's Fang Zheng. This person does not know any background, unexpectedly in the hand has the Purple Thorn token. Actually Going All-Out Gu, was not him. Is one Gu Master that called Li Ran has elected, finally walked to hit Ancient Moon's Fang Zheng, created obstacles by Ancient Moon's Fang Zheng, snatches three rock waste to act as the compensation. But that Going All-Out Gu on therein.” “你们现在才知道？嘿嘿,我知道的比你多多了。这个走了狗屎运的,叫做古月方正。此人也不知什么来头,居然手中有紫荆令牌。其实全力以赴蛊,本来不属于他。是一个叫李然的蛊师选了,结果走路撞到了古月方正,被古月方正刁难,抢了三颗顽石充作赔偿。而那全力以赴蛊就在其中。” „Aiya, this Li Ran is really bad luck, Going All-Out Gu should be his!” “哎呀,这个李然真是倒霉啊,全力以赴蛊本来应该是他的！” „This is the life......” “这就是命啊……” „The blue nest gambling stone work place, is not good, I must have a look!” “蓝巢赌石坊,不行,我得去看看！” Suddenly, the Merchant City rumor flutters about. 一时间,商家城流言纷飞。 ( to be continued ) （未完待续）
