They looked into each other's eyes, full of tenderness.
At this moment, they almost forgot each other's age. They even forgot who caused Master Hou's poisoning. There was no resentment in Master Hou's eyes, only tenderness.
Master Hou raised his hand and gently touched Tang Xueyan's smooth and soft face. He said softly, "Silly girl, if I'm gone, the mansion will no longer be your residence. You should leave here and don't go back to Lord Long. After you leave, you can live a free life."
Tang Xueyan's tears flowed down. "Why don't you hate me?"
"I have a story. Would you like to hear it?"
Tang Xueyan nodded and said, "At this time, I'm willing to listen to whatever you want to tell me."
"I used to live in a scholarly family. My father was a university professor and my mother was a psychologist. So I excelled in all subjects since I was a child. I was even the top scorer in science in the college entrance examination. By the time he graduated from university, his parents were stabbed to death by hooligans. From then on, I wanted revenge. Since I couldn't punish them legally, I resigned and joined the underworld. It didn't take long for me to become the boss of the gang and make the gang stronger. Later, I killed all the gangsters who killed my parents and cut off their heads. That was when Tingchuan started to follow me. "
This was a bit of a bloody history. Just hearing about it was enough to make one shudder. It was incompatible with the gentleness of the two of them at this time.
"Later, I gradually became ambitious. I wanted to make the gang stronger and bigger. The most important thing was to replace the biggest underground gang in Jiang City at that time, the Jiang Family!"
"If I want to replace it, I must first understand it. I started to contact the Jiang Family and got to know their daughter, Jiang Qin. "
Tang Xueyan knew that this was a sad story. She sighed. "The girl you liked."
"Yes, I liked her. The more I knew her, the more I liked her. She could see it and knew that her father and I would fight sooner or later. She tried to persuade me to leave the underground world and be with her. But I was blinded by greed and didn't want to give up. "
Tang Xueyan sighed. "Actually, even if you gave up, her father might not let you go, right?"
"Yes, at that time, her father was already filled with fear towards me, and there was no way he would let me go. Later, I fought with her father. I wanted to spare her father's life, but he was killed by Tingchuan. Jiang Qin forced me to kill Tingchuan, but in the end, I refused. In order to take revenge, she jumped off a building and died in front of me. "
Master Hou sighed. "This is what I owe Jiang Qin. I won't be able to repay her in this lifetime. Did you think that I didn't have any suspicions when I brought you into the mansion? Actually, I do, but I don't care anymore. "
Tang Xueyan revealed a shocked expression and asked in disbelief, "You already suspected me at that time?"
Master Hou looked at Tang Xueyan with gentle eyes and said softly, "The moment Jiang Qin died, I knew I would be punished. You and Jiang Qin are really similar. After these few days of contact, I don't know whether I love you or treat you as Jiang Qin. I'm already 43 years old this year. I've lived nearly 20 years longer than Jiang Qin. It's worth it. "
"If you were Jiang Qin reborn, I would be willing to protect you and even repay you with my life. If you weren't, I wouldn't let the tragedy of that year repeat itself. I would rather die than betray you. "
Tang Xueyan cried. Perhaps Master Hou himself didn't know whether he was in love with Tang Xueyan or simply treated her as his beloved Jiang Qin. But no matter which it was, Tang Xueyan didn't care. What she cared about was that Jiang Zihou cared about her now, and that was enough.
Unfortunately, sometimes people were full of involuntary actions. Often, what they wanted to do was not something they could control.
"Zihou … I want … I want to kiss you once."
Master Hou sat up and held Tang Xueyan in his arms. The two of them began to kiss. This kiss would cross the boundary between life and death. Master Hou clearly felt that his lifespan was coming to an end. He would definitely not live to see the end of today.
At this time, Mu Tingchuan was already at the door of the room, but he was stopped by Miyamoto Shinji. Looking at Mu Tingchuan's anxious and angry face, Miyamoto Shinji shook his head and said, "Master Hou said that no one can go in."
Mu Tingchuan sighed and shook his head as he said, "When it comes to retribution, Master Hou still has a lot of things to do. Why should the retribution fall on Master Hou instead of on me, the culprit?"
Back then, Master Hou gave up Jiang Qin for Mu Tingchuan. It could be said that he gave up his most beloved woman for his great ambition. From then on, Mu Tingchuan became even more devoted to Master Hou.
Mu Tingchuan was anxious outside. Suddenly, he heard Master Hou's scream from inside, "No!"
The cry was very sudden. It was full of sadness and despair. When Miyamoto Shinji and Mu Tingchuan rushed in, they saw Tang Xueyan lying in a pool of blood. Her forehead was broken and blood kept flowing. It turned out that after kissing Master Hou, she had hit her head on the wall. Master Hou finally understood what she meant when she said that she would fulfill Master Hou's wish and be the princess of Master Hou's mansion forever. Because she had never left Master Hou's side, nor did she leave the mansion until she died.
Master Hou cried in despair, "Call the doctor. Save her. Save her."
Tang Xueyan could barely open her eyes. She struggled to lift her eyelids to look at Master Hou and said in a weak voice, "Lord Long promised me that if Zihou died, he would let my family go. Now it doesn't matter whether I live or die. Although I'm not Jiang Qin, I can leave this world with you. I can go to another world to be with you. "
Tang Xueyan could not wait for the doctor to come. She had used all her strength to hit the wall. She closed her eyes completely. Master Hou's eyes were wide open. This was the second time that his beloved woman had left him. He seemed to have lost all his strength. If he could not even protect his beloved woman, what was the point of winning the world?
Seeing this, Mu Tingchuan felt a little sad. He sighed and said, "Master Hou … let's take you to the hospital."
Master Hou shook his head and said calmly, "Call Xiao Bing."
Mu Tingchuan's heart sank. But he immediately called Xiao Bing. When he came here, he already knew that Master Hou was already poisoned and could not be cured. So he did not continue to persuade Master Hou. Moreover, Tang Xueyan's death made Master Hou even more determined to die.
It was obvious that Master Hou called them and Xiao Bing over to make arrangements for his funeral. No matter what, he had to guard the last shift for Master Hou. After fulfilling Master Hou's last wish, he was ready to leave. After following Master Hou for so many years and killing so many people, he was also tired.
Xiao Bing was also shocked when he learned that Master Hou was dying. He hurriedly drove to Master Hou.
When Xiao Bing arrived at Master Hou's mansion, Master Hou was already sitting in the hall with a smile on his face. The tea had been prepared for him. If it were not for Master Hou's purple face, it would be hard to tell that Master Hou was dying. His temperament was no different from usual.
Master Hou pointed at the teacup on Xiao Bing's table and said with a smile, "Xiao Bing, sit down. These tea leaves were given to me by someone from Jingdu. Have a taste."
Xiao Bing had never regarded Master Hou as a friend, nor as an enemy. He only regarded him as a partner. Perhaps he was also a person whom he admired and looked up to. If it were not for the existence of the Long Family, perhaps Master Hou would have killed Xiao Bing long ago. Xiao Bing knew this better than anyone else. But just like the former master of the Ye Family, Ye Bancheng, admired Master Hou, Xiao Bing also regarded Master Hou as one of the most important people he had met since he started his career.
Xiao Bing even thought that if the Long Family was really destroyed, would they still be able to sit together and talk so calmly? Would Master Hou still tolerate him? Would they fight to the death? But before that day came, Master Hou's life would come to an end.
Now, seeing this friend who was not a friend still talking to him with a faint smile, Xiao Bing felt a little sad. No matter whether this person was a friend or an enemy, he was already worthy of respect for being able to talk and laugh calmly at the moment when he knew that he was about to say goodbye to the world.
Perhaps, if his life was not coming to an end, he would really be stronger than Lord Long.
"Since he can do this, why should I be sad with him?"
Xiao Bing picked up the teacup. The tea was not so hot, but it was still very hot. Xiao Bing took a small sip and blew on it before drinking. There was a sweet taste in his mouth. He could not help but praise, "It's really good tea."
Master Hou said with a smile, "It's good tea, but someone needs to taste it. Later, you and Tingchuan can share it. Miyamoto doesn't need it. He is not such a refined person. Haha!"
Miyamoto Shinji's eyes were a little red. He, who seemed to be emotionless, could also show his feelings.
Master Hou continued, "Xiao Bing, from the first time I saw you, I felt that you were not a mortal. Later, it turned out to be true. I think the wisest thing I did was to cooperate with you. You killed Peony. To be honest, I hated you to the core. Don't think that I'm really a cold-blooded person just because I'm in a high position. In fact, everyone has feelings. It's just that some people are good at restraining themselves. "
Xiao Bing said, "I understand. That's why I didn't dare to be sure that you would not attack me. It was a big gamble. With my ability and manpower at that time, if you really attacked me, I would definitely die. "
"Do you know why I didn't attack you? It's not just because I needed your help. Of course, that's part of the reason why so many people want you. "
Xiao Bing was puzzled, "What else could it be?"
"Because I heard that it's harder to resolve hatred than to kill a person. And it will also make a person stronger. So I want to give it a try."
Xiao Bing was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to be thinking. Finally, with a look of admiration, he sighed and said, "Master Hou, you are really an admirable hero!"
