Supreme pardon

Chapter 197 The Eve of the Dinner Party

Bai Tan always felt that he was being fooled, and he agreed to give him freedom, but when he wanted to go to the king's residence, he always refused to allow this or that.

Is the so-called freedom granted only to move freely in the royal residence?

It's not that he hasn't protested to the steward of Wangju, but that young man who speaks in an unusually dull manner doesn't like to go in. Every time he says that there is a mixed flow of people in the royal district recently, it is not suitable for him to go out.

Well, he tried his best, and he gradually resigned to his fate.

As soon as he was free, he wanted to start looking for something, but unfortunately Wenren Jue couldn't be seen every day, and he didn't have any acquaintances in Wang Junei, so the existence of Gu Zhiqiu was very valuable.

Although he didn't know what the relationship between the person who saved him and Wen Ren Jue was, but seeing people living in with him, Bai Tan was like finding a confidant, and ran to him very diligently every day.

Although people don't talk to him very much.

"Zhiqiu!" Don't look at how fast he was running, but he still stopped by the door, stepped forward and knocked a few times in an orderly manner.

"Come in." Inside the door, Gu Zhiqiu's calm voice sounded quickly.

With a smile on his face, Bai Tan pushed open the door and walked in. Before he could see the person clearly, he turned around and closed the door again, ran to the table, picked up the teapot and poured a glass of cold water, took a sip, panted lightly, and took a long time to take care of it. He opened his mouth and said, "Why don't you go out for a walk? It's been four days..." Looking up and looking around the room, he frowned, "Aren't you bored?"

"It's okay." Although Gu Zhiqiu said little, whenever Bai Tan said something, he would respond somewhat.

"Why are you running in such a hurry?" Gu Zhiqiu shook his head, seeing that his forehead was covered with sweat, and he hadn't even breathed yet, before drinking water on his own.

"I don't know what happened to the Wangju today. People came one after another. I heard that the servants in my yard said that they were all big men. They seemed to come to discuss something. There will be a rare grand dinner tomorrow night, um, It should be to talk about that? I don’t want to run into them, every time they meet, they always look at me like a monster.” Bai Tan complained dissatisfiedly, he used to run all the way here, every time If you see someone, hide.

In the past four days, he often met some high-level officials in the royal area who came to the royal residence to handle business. These people, regardless of men, women and children, every time they saw him, their eyes and expressions always made him feel uncomfortable.

"En." The thoughtful Gu Zhiqiu responded, the teacup he was holding suddenly slipped from his palm and hit the table, splashing a few drops of tea.

"What's the matter with you?" Bai Tan was confused and worried, his eyes were in a trance, and he looked lost, he quickly reached out to pick up the teacup on the table, and wiped the spilled tea with the tablecloth.

Getting up and moving the chair under his buttocks, he got closer to Gu Zhiqiu, stretched out his hand and waved in front of the person, "Hey! What's wrong with you, you look out of your mind."

In his impression, Gu Zhiqiu was a cold and tough person, even if he was locked in the dark basement with him that day, his expression did not waver at all. It was the first time he saw such a dazed and dejected look today.

"Heh." Looking up at him, Gu Zhiqiu lowered his eyes and shook his head silently.

Sensing the weird aura around his body, Bai Tan cast his eyes on the middle-aged man standing behind Gu Zhiqiu.

It's a pity that the person was still the same as when I ran into it a few days ago, like an ice cube, he didn't respond at all.

"You...what's the matter?" Bai Tan is not stupid, on the contrary, he is naturally sensitive to some human emotions.

Not so, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape Wen Ren Jue's repeated killing intent.

Gu Zhiqiu seemed to be restless, and closed his eyes with a pale complexion.

He opened it half a day later, but his expression was still very dull, his appearance made Bai Tan even more nervous and confused.

Reaching out and pushing the person again, Bai Tan frowned and said in a louder voice, "What's wrong with you? Tell me quickly."

With a far-fetched smile, Gu Zhiqiu looked up at him, opened his lips after a long time, but still didn't say a word.

Then he bowed his head silently.

Bai Tan couldn't bear it any longer, slapped the table with his palm, and shouted proudly: "What are you talking about! You are not such a hesitant person at all, you are so uncomfortable to me!"

"I planned to leave the city a few days ago," Gu Zhiqiu answered irrelevantly, met Bai Tan's firm gaze, and suddenly gave a wry smile, "Where did I expect that the city would be closed suddenly?"

"Uh..." The inflated air was like a balloon, and it blew out at once. Bai Tan was so embarrassed that he touched his forehead with his right hand. He hesitated and said, "Sorry, cough cough, I didn't expect..."

After being found, he certainly knew why the city was closed before. Although he thought it was crazy to close the city because of himself, he was really embarrassed to implicate others because of this.

But, "You can go out of the city now if you want, anyway, the blockade order has been revoked." Unlike myself, Gu Zhiqiu is so powerful, there is no reason why he must live in Wangju, and Wenren Jue didn't restrict him free.

Looking at Bai Tan's calm eyes, Gu Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment. He thought about whether to use this person in front of him, but if he gave up on him, would he have other opportunities?

His previous distraction, weakness and helplessness were of course all fakes. For him, he has lived in power for many years, and the current deadlock is not worth changing his face at all. However, he knows the purity of Baitan and knows that only in this way can he be the best. Might get someone to reach out.

Sure enough, seeing the miserable look on his face and hesitant to speak, Bai Tan's frown deepened, he reached out and patted his shoulder, and said solemnly: "Just tell me, I will definitely do my best to help you."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the city." Very depressed, he raised his head and looked straight at the person.

Bai Tan was stunned.

Gu Zhiqiu continued to stare at the other party with a calm expression. After being dumbfounded, he quickly showed a look of sudden realization, and then gritted his teeth a little maniacally, as if exhausting all his strength, he said viciously: "Well, bastard , I heard that this..."

Pausing with a face full of embarrassment, Bai Tan clenched his fists, thought about his words, and was finally able to continue yelling, "A pervert! He's so daring, what is he trying to do now, is he going to accept you?"

"Snatching civilian men, is this his hobby? Damn it!" Before coming to Earth, although he had a lot of offensive words, they were all in a roundabout way, and he was generally considered gentle and gentle. After coming to Earth, The people I meet are different, and the books I read...are all kinds of strange ones. The mantra of Qiuyang, who had a relationship with him, is god damn. After hearing it, Bai Tan found it interesting, and later used more He felt that he could fully express his feelings, and gradually, this mantra became his.

Gu Zhiqiu had a draft of what to say to him, but he still didn't expect it at all. After holding back for a long time, with such an ugly face and such a fierce aura, Bai Tan finally... spit out such a shocking sentence For the words of heaven and man.

"Uh..." This time it was his turn, not pretending, but really having nothing to say.

"No..." The frown at this time was quite real. Seeing the person sitting beside him, Gu Zhiqiu was still heaving with anger in his chest, and his face was even more suffocated. He looked like a person. Just killed his whole family, after thinking about it, he still decided to stop the people who must be more and more bizarre now, and said gloomily: "He wants to kill me."

"What?" The murderous look in the corner of his eyes disappeared in an instant, Bai Tan turned his head nervously to look around, and then, like a passer-by who found a treasure, he sneaked close to Gu Zhiqiu's ear and said softly: "Why? He didn't think about you, but wanted to kill you?"

Pushing people away, Gu Zhiqiu once again witnessed Bai Tan's miraculous brain circuit.

I don't know if such a drastic change of mood will have side effects. The anger on his face just now is gone now, and the curiosity on his face is completely like wanting to hear gossip.

Feeling weak, and no longer bothering to hide it, Gu Zhiqiu said grimly: "After tomorrow's banquet, he will be able to free up his hands."

Bai Tan blinked, took another good look at Gu Zhiqiu, then got up suddenly, walked around Gu Zhiqiu in a big circle, sat down next to the person again, put one hand on the table, and the person half-prostrated, Bai Tan Staring at Gu Zhiqiu for a while, he finally asked inexplicably, "Are you serious?"

Gu Zhiqiu: "..."

"Okay, I believe you are serious." Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gu Zhiqiu's attendant staring at him with rather ferocious eyes, Bai Tan felt a little embarrassed again, and after sitting upright, he took a deep breath , He carefully said his words: "Although I don't know what happened between you, so that you can come to the conclusion that he wants to kill you, but I believe in you, you are very powerful."

He said this sincerely. Although he didn't know who Gu Zhiqiu was and what grievances he had with Wenren Jue, the way Gu Zhiqiu snatched the gun in the car and subdued the three tough men in an instant was still impressive. He has some admiration besides envy.

Paused, Bai Tan thought for a while, and then said firmly: "You saved me, if it wasn't for you, I would have been sold to nowhere, I have seen those who were trafficked in those days in the basement In the end, if I fall to that step..."

Although the voice of the conversation is very calm now, Gu Zhiqiu can still hear the hidden fear and fear from his words.

Pursing his lips, Bai Tan continued: "I will definitely die. Without you, I wouldn't be able to live today, so no matter what, I owe you once. Tell me what you need me to do."

It's just that his thinking is a little bit out of the way, and he has an overly pure attitude when facing things. Bai Tan is not stupid. Gu Zhiqiu is not a person who would say these things to him for no reason. There must be something to ask for.

When he was walking around in the room just now, he actually believed the other person's words, and the question he asked after sitting down was not a joke, but to adjust the atmosphere and relieve his inner tension.

Although he didn't have much contact with Wen Ren Jue, he also knew that if he let go of the person he wanted to kill, the consequences for him would be very bad.

However, Bai Tan stared at Gu Zhiqiu, a man with a cold expression who had saved him not long ago.

If you don't help, Wen Renjue kills him, do you want to watch him die.

Although he is not a big hero or as capable as his brothers, no matter what he faces, he can solve and deal with it properly, but he can still do the most basic kindness, right?

In fact, he had already made up his mind after sitting down again.

At such a critical moment, it was Gu Zhiqiu who became silent, looked carefully at Bai Tan's eyebrows, and finally said: "The dinner party, that is my last chance, there will be many people coming that night, Wen Ren Jue must have something to plan , as long as something happens that grabs everyone's attention, I can use it to get away."

He didn't ask people how to make arrangements in the future, seeing what Gu Zhiqiu was going to say, Bai Tan immediately raised his hand to stop, shook his head sincerely and said: "Don't tell me your future plans, because as long as Wenren Jue presses me, I will Will definitely say it."

At this time, Bai Tan actually wanted to cry, he could still imagine that scene, so it's okay to shiver first.

"En." Nodding clearly, Gu Zhiqiu didn't show any blame.

Bai Tan thought deeply, and finally stood up impassionedly, stretched out his hand towards Gu Zhiqiu, and said with the awe-inspiring gaze of a strong man who will never return: "Believe me, even if I take off my clothes and stand up to dance that night, I will definitely give you a blessing." You create chaos to get out of!"

"En." Gu Zhiqiu shook the little hand that represented sacrifice and friendship.

"My friend!" Bai Tan was terrified, and he held the other hand that was streaming with tears, and squeezed Gu Zhiqiu's left hand tightly with both hands, shaking it vigorously.
