Chapter 16 Killing and Family affection
After Gan Ning thanked him, he found that he didn't have a seat. Because of the rush, Liu Biao didn't think of this. After saying that, he found that he had not prepared a seat. And many people here also don't like Gan Ning to sit beside them, so they turn a blind eye to Gan Ning's situation.
Gan Ning looked around, and everyone around him turned their heads away.
"Gan Zhuangshi, if you don't dislike it, come to me and do it." Liu Qi invited.
"Thank you very much." Gan Ning thanked him. Just now, Liu Qi helped him, which made him have a good impression on Liu Qi. After all, if it hadn't been for Liu Qi just now, it would have taken some time for Liu Biao to accept them, so he would not refuse. Liu Qi had already prepared a seat. Originally, he was going to meet Pang Tong. Xu Shu and others talked with them in detail. Unexpectedly, Pang Tong and Xu Shu didn't see it, but he waited for Gan Ning, and now he just used it.
"Introduce yourself, Liu Qi." Liu Qi waited for Gan Ning to sit down and arch his hand and said.
"Gan Ning, the word Xingba." Gan Ning bowed his hand back.
"Thank you very much for today's event. If you need me in the future, you just need to send someone to go through fire and water." Gan Ning said solemnly to Liu Qi.
"In this case, it will be troublesome if you have something to do in the future." Liu Qi is not polite. She should be modest to the literati and bold to the martial arts, otherwise she would think you would look down on him.
"Has Brother Gan just arrived in Jingzhou?" Liu Qi asked.
"That's right. I heard that the birthday banquet of the state herdsman came non-stop. Just in time, the other brothers are still on the way." Gan Ning said without concealment.
"I don't know if Brother Gan has a place to live in Xiangyang?" Liu Qi asked.
"I haven't been to Xiangyang before, so I haven't. After the banquet, I'll look for it." Gan Ning said and drank all the wine on the table.
"There are many empty houses in my mansion now. If Brother Gan doesn't mind, why don't you live with me first? I'm afraid it won't be easy to find a house for a while. Liu Qi reminded. After all, Gan Ning's reputation is there, and I guess no one is willing to sell him the house.
"In this case, Gan is not polite. Come to Gan to have a toast to the eldest son, and the eldest son's kindness is in this glass of wine. Gan Ning obviously knew that his situation did not refuse. He picked up the wine glass and toasted Liu Qi. He knew that Liu Qi had helped him just now, and he had been branded with Liu Qi. If he didn't follow Liu Qi, he might not even be able to buy the residence.
"Do it." Liu Qi raised his glass and drank it with Gan Ning.

In a private house in Xiangyang City, Zhang Lingzheng, who had disappeared for three days, looked at a group of people in black in front of him with a cold face. The group of people in black were exposed in black clothes and even covered their heads with black cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes and hands.
The courtyard was quiet. Occasionally, a cold wind blew the fallen leaves on the ground. The man in black was still expressionless, as if he were a group of statues.
"Are you ready?" Zhang Ling suddenly opened his mouth, and his voice was particularly loud in the quiet courtyard.
The man in black is still silent.
"Very good. Now that you are all ready, let's go. If the task fails, you should know what to do. Zhang Ling said. A face is still expressionless.
"Shasha..." and "Shasha..." The people in black in the courtyard divided into two teams and left at the same time.
Zhang Ling watched the two teams leave before entering the house.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh..." There are two old people in the room who look like a couple from their costumes, but the couple is now tied to the pillars in the house, and their mouths are stuffed with cloth and can't make a sound. When the two saw Zhang Ling coming in, they stared at Zhang Ling, as if they had a deep hatred.
Zhang Ling was still expressionless. She walked in front of them step by step, looked at them and said, "It's a pity that your eyes can't kill people." After saying that, two pieces of blood burst out of the necks of the two old men, and the light in their eyes gradually faded, and they couldn't close their eyes.
Zhang Ling got up and left, and his face was still as cold as before.
..........
In the northwest of Xiangyang City, compared with other places in Xiangyang City, it is a little desolate, even desolate, because this is the prison of Xiangyang City. People with a little ability have already moved away from here, leaving behind are those who can barely make ends meet and unable to move.
Today's wind seems to be particularly cold. The four jailers outside the prison are wearing turtleneck clothes, and their whole bodies are huddled in their clothes. You can faintly see them trembling.
"The boss, why don't we go in? Anyway, no one came to see it. It's so cold outside. It's so hard to stand." Young people in their twenties at most said.
"Nonsense, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If you come to check, we will all lose our jobs. If you don't want to do it, get out of here as soon as possible. Don't involve us at that time." A middle-aged man in his forties said.
"Big boss, don't blame the dog, isn't this also for you? Seeing that the brothers stand and suffer so much, they are eating and drinking in it. How uncomfortable it is? Why don't we go first and wait for a while and then come out? It's okay to take a break. A young man said.
"Is this a little irregular?" The middle-aged man hesitated.
"It's the boss. Zhang Kui is right. It's okay to just go in for a while." Another man saw that the middle-aged man was a little moved and also helped.
"Okay, but we can only take turns to go back to rest. Goudan and I will go back to rest first. Zhang Kui, you and Li Chuang will stay outside first, and we will replace you in an hour. After saying that, the middle-aged man and the dog want to walk into the prison.
"Big boss, I want to go to the toilet. You go back first." Halfway through, the dog egg said to the middle-aged man.
"You have a lot of things to do. Go and come back quickly. Be careful on the way." The middle-aged man said.
"It's okay. I'll be back in a minute." The dog egg said that he ran away.
Outside the prison.
"Brother Kui, why do you think the boss is so kind to the dog egg?" Li Chuang asked.
"Who knows? I just vaguely heard that the dog egg once saved the boss's life, and I don't know if it's true. Anyway, the dog egg took special care of him as soon as he came. Zhang Kui said.
"No way, just save the big brother like a dog egg? Is this possible?" Li Chuang was surprised.
"I don't know. Anyway, other people say so, but who knows whether it's true or not. Oh, the fucking weather is really unbearable. After saying that, he tightened his clothes again.
The two of them chatted one after another, not paying any attention to the dark shadows approaching them around them.
In the night, a group of people in black thought about the prison slowly approaching under the cover of the night and the cold wind.
There was a soft click. All the people in black are close to the ground, motionless, and look like stones in the dark.
"What's the sound?" Li Chuang was shocked. He stretched out his head and looked around, but found nothing.
"Look, it scares you. It's just the wind." Zhang Kui also stretched out his head and said.
"But I just heard the noise." Li Chuang said.
"Okay, okay, don't be suspicious." Zhang Kui complained.
Just as the two were about to shrink their heads back, two cold lights flashed, and when they saw it clearly, the two daggers had been inserted in their throats. There is only a slight tremor at the end of the dagger. The two's eyes were incredible, and their bodies slowly fell to one side and were picked up by two men in black. The man in black pulled out the dagger and wiped them before carefully walking into the prison.
A quarter of an hour later, the man in black left the prison with the unconscious Zhang Yue, during which he did not make any sound.
"Fuck, why are you so unlucky? Did I do something unreasonable in my last life? I have been so unlucky in my life. The dog egg scolded and thought about coming to the prison, but his body was covered with feces.
"These two guys are lazy again. You must tell the boss to deal with them fiercely." Gou Dan saw that Zhang Kui and the two of them were not talking fiercely.
"Ouch." The dog's egg tripped over something and immediately fell to the ground.
"Ah!" When the dog egg saw clearly that it was Li Chuang who tripped him, he exclaimed. He was so scared that he quickly ran away and shouted, "Li Chuang, if you scare me again, I will tell the boss to let him deal with you fiercely."
Seeing that Li Chuanghao did not respond for a while, the dog egg stumbled beside Li Chuang. When he saw the scar on Li Chuang's neck, he exclaimed again.
It took a while for the dog egg to wake up.
"Big boss, boss..." The dog egg shouted and ran like crazy in prison. The dog egg shouted and looked for it in the prison, with some confusion and helplessness on his face.
The prisoners in the prison were awakened by the barking of dog eggs, and they all lay on the side of the fence door and looked at the shouting dog eggs running around.
The dog egg opened a cold corpse with a trace of hope, a trace of trembling and despair in his eyes. One of the bodies was turned open. Looking at these former companions, the dog egg seemed to know each other and still shouted, "Big boss, boss..."
More and more corpses have been opened, the sound of dog eggs is getting smaller and smaller, and the hope in the eyes is getting darker and darker. It was just that the last hope urged him to walk forward and open a corpse.
In the corner, a dark gray coat made of coarse cloth lying quietly on the body has not been taken off, and there are still a few weeds in the middle of the messy hair. The knife in his hand has not been put down. His eyes are open, and there is still a trace of surprise in his eyes.
When the dog egg saw the corpse, the corpse, the corpse stopped and walked towards the corpse step by step, and gently shouted "big boss" every step. It seems that I'm afraid to wake up the person in my sleep.
The dog egg walked towards the body step by step, and each step was closer to the body, but the dog egg's footsteps were getting slower and slower, and the sound was getting smaller and smaller. There is almost no hope in my eyes.
The road was finally finished. When the dog egg gently hugged the boss's body, he shouted softly again. The boss did not respond, and the last light in the dog's eye completely dissipated.
He took off the knife for the boss, dressed him neatly again, combed his hair cleanly, and then gently closed his eyes for him. Then he stroked his forehead, as if to smooth his early wrinkles.
As he stroked, he whispered, "Big boss, haven't you always wanted to call me your father? I'll call you today, okay?"
"No, I just agree... Father, father..."
"Dog egg, get up quickly. Look at your laziness. If you don't get up, be careful that I'll beat you."
"Dog egg, eat more, and stand guard hard at night."
Who cares about this humble life on the cold night? The rest is the continuation of endless despair and killing.
