A carrier pigeon flew into the house from the window lattice and stood on the window sill cooing. An old hand covered with scars picked it up, took off the rolled letter from its leg, and opened it.

The man who took the letter was bald, old and ugly. After reading the contents of the letter, he tore up the paper and cursed: "Damn it! Useless thing!"

Li Si was playing chess leisurely in the room. He looked at him and asked with concern: "Who dares to make Xuanwu Shi unhappy?"

Xuanwu Shi sat down opposite Li Si and replied: "I sent some masters to assassinate Rong Chen, but they fell into the ambush set by Bai Yu and the entire army was wiped out. A small Rong Chen actually had the Imperial City Secretary It’s hard to succeed if the leader secretly protects her. It would be terrible if that little bitch really sees Rong Chen.”

Li Si disapproved and said while sipping light tea: "Why should Xuanwu panic? Although Sanyu was passed on to the position of leader by Gouchen, in view of his humble origin, many believers are more convinced by you. He may not dare to touch you." you."

The Xuanwu envoy anxiously pinched the chess pieces and gritted his teeth and said, "That's not necessarily the case. I'm just afraid that the little bitch will do something dirty. Do you know? He poisoned Gou Chen."

"Actually, I have prepared a clever plan for the Xuanwu envoy. You don't have to arrange assassinations and lose men anymore."

Li Si smiled faintly and ordered Xue Mo to take out a black cloth bag and handed it to Xuanwu.

Xuanwu opened it and looked at the contents inside, with confusion on his face: "This is it?"

Li Si stood up and leaned into his ear and whispered something in his ear, and then said with a wicked smile: "I believe the Xuanwu Master will like beating up mandarin ducks with sticks."

The Xuanwu envoy had an epiphany, burst out laughing, and then said: "Your Highness is indeed resourceful and ruthless, and is very fond of the old man. I will definitely put in a few good words for you in front of the leader, and find you a position as a military advisor, so that we can achieve great things together." .”

Li Si smiled when he heard this and saluted, "Thank you so much, Xuanwu Envoy."

At this time, the peace delegation heading to the border was resting in the inn. Bai Yu was sitting in the bedroom with one arm bare. Shen Qin pretended to be Chen Yugui and was treating Bai Yu's wounds.

Seeing "Chen Yugui"'s skillful movements, Bai Yu praised: "It seems that General Chen has learned a lot of medical skills from Shen Qin's family, and Bai has benefited."

He sighed again: "Oh, I am no longer what I used to be. I am actually hurt by those little minions. I am really ashamed."

Shen Qin said gratefully: "Thanks to General Bai for showing up in time and resolving Chen's urgent need."

Bai Yu smiled slightly: "With a little effort, Bai issued a military order to His Majesty before he came. He must ensure that you and Han Rong return safely."

Shen Qin learned from Bai Yu that although the new emperor agreed to Rong Chen's request to see San Yu, he didn't really want to compromise with the sinister Dark Snake. The peace talks were just to gain time to prepare for war, so he sent Bai Yu to lead him. The elite of the Imperial City Division secretly protected him and asked him to bring Rong Chen back safely.

At this time, Bai Yu suddenly asked: "General Chen, do you think Shen Qin is really dead?"

Shen Qin's face was slightly stiff, and she didn't know how to answer, but she heard Bai Yu say again: "Bai always thinks that he is a god, and he didn't die even after falling from such a high cliff. Maybe he survived this time."

When Shen Qin heard this, her heart tightened. Could it be that Li Yunxi thought the same? Thinking of the temporary change of orders when Chen Yugui was being punished, and the fact that only Chen Yugui was sent to escort him, could it be to force him to show up? He asked Bai Yu worriedly.

"Commander Bai knows that the Supreme Emperor wants to live forever as a Taoist, but how will he solve it in the end?"

Bai Yu smiled slightly, "The new emperor has refuted the rumors, saying that it was just a conspiracy by the imperial master, and ordered people to demolish the altar built by Qiu Chishan."

When Shen Qin heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he saw a little black cat with its limbs walking in the snow suddenly walk into the room. It looked around and found an unfinished steak on the Eight Immortals table. The chicken ran up to Shen Qin, rubbed against his legs, and kept crowing.

"Looks like I'm hungry."

Shen Qin said softly, he picked up a small piece of chicken, placed it on the oil paper, squatted down and fed it to the kitten.

Then, he saw Rong Chen hurriedly running in. When he saw the kitten, the tension on his face instantly relaxed. He patted his chest, breathed out, and smiled at Shen Qin.

"Hey, I was scared to death. I thought it got lost."

In order to protect Rong Chen, Shen Qin asked him to put on regular clothes and hide in the team in the name of General Chen, so he was temporarily free.

Before leaving, Rong Chen asked Chen Yugui to ask Xiaoxiang for a cute kitten. He said that Sanyu liked small animals and would be happy to see such a close kitten. As a result, he gave the kitten After being hugged all the way, the kitten also suffered from diarrhea due to the lack of water. Shen Qin cured it with a handful of stove soil.

Rong Chen squatted down, stroked the kitten's soft hair, looked at Shen Qin and asked again.

"General Chen, do you have any news about my brother?"

Along the way, Rong Chen had asked him countless times. Shen Qin knew that he was not yet sane and did not dare to tell him the truth. She reluctantly shook her head every time, and he did the same this time.

The hopeful light in Rong Chen's eyes was covered by disappointment. He picked up the kitten and said sadly.

"My brother is missing. Your Highness King Xi must be very sad. I think of them in the car that day..."

Seeing Bai Yu's expression of eating melon, Shen Qin interrupted shyly.

"The general will urge them to search hard."

Rong Chen became even more sad and said.

"But if my brother is really alive, why doesn't he show up? Isn't he unwilling to see us?"

Shen Qin was silent, found an excuse at random, walked out of the house alone, and stood under the eaves outside the inn, feeling sad.

At this time, it was drizzling outside. Pedestrians on the street were coming and going holding paper umbrellas, and the raindrops beat on the leaves, making a rustling sound.

He stared at the rainy scene in front of him, with thousands of thoughts intertwined.

The wonderful time he spent with Xi Lang, Hao'er, and Chen Yugui flashed through his mind. His thoughts surged like a tide, and he wished he could return to them right away.

But, no.

He thought of that cold rainy night, the tragic scene of soldiers killing each other and corpses strewn in the fields.

Back then, in order to find himself, Li Yunxi took the initiative to step into the enemy's trap. If he knew that he was still alive, would he secretly restart the sacrificial circle?

In any case, he cannot repeat the same mistakes again. Regardless of life or death, he can only face it alone.

Li Yunxi's words when parting were heard in his ears: Never forgive, and the pain in his heart was like a knife, which was uncontrollable.

He stretched out his hand and let the cold raindrops flow between his fingers until his fingers lost their warmth, which seemed to make his heart colder and more ruthless.
