a hundred times

In early spring, new buds grow quietly on the willow branches.

The sun was warm, and the old butler was sitting at the gate, slowly smoking a long pipe.There are many wrinkles on his face, but his eyes flash from time to time.

He exhaled a long puff of smoke, sighed contentedly, and said, "Master, you might as well come out."

Ye Zhuchen bent the corner of his mouth, and walked out generously. He was wearing a sky blue gown, and he simply tied his hair with a hosta, but he was still very personable.

However, he has changed his face, which is far from being comparable to Huayu's not-so-handsome face.

The old butler raised his eyes, sized Ye Zhuchen up and down, and said with a smile in an old voice, "Young master is very handsome."

"Well, the old man has good eyesight." Ye Zhuchen never refused the compliments of others. As he spoke, he flicked his clothes and sat down on the threshold in a very chic manner. The distance from the old housekeeper was less than half a foot.

"Over the years, Mr. No. 1 has been able to enter Wenliu Villa without anyone noticing."

"Ah...don't dare to take it, don't take it." Ye Zhuchen touched his nose casually, "Actually, I also broke through the barrier honestly."

There was a trace of surprise on the old butler's face, he glanced at Ye Zhuchen again, and said after a while: "...Forgive me for asking, my lord—but the Flying Star Sect Huayu who was with Leader Lu last night?"

"It's not like it?"

The old housekeeper said: "Frankly speaking, you are completely two people."

Ye Zhuchen raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, "That's natural, Huayu is just a hypocrite, she puts on airs, she's far worse than me, and it took me a lot of time to act."

Even if he is frivolous and boastful, and speaks complacent words, the old butler has to admit that this sassy and elegant man, compared with yesterday's Huayu, has indeed won too much.

Perhaps it was this overly handsome face that was at work.

Dazed for a moment, I heard the handsome young man in front of me ask again: "Is the old man waiting for someone? I guess it's not me."

The old housekeeper said: "Young master is very smart."

Ye Zhuchen blinked: "Hmm - are you waiting for that beautiful princess?"

The old butler smiled: "He was a handsome and upright young man when he came, so he might be the concubine of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince."

Zhou Chuze's disguise is not difficult to judge. Since he came here to find someone, how could he leave without a sound after only three or four hours?Moreover, a person's appearance is easy to change, but the level of martial arts is difficult to interfere.

Zhou Chuze's martial arts is not high, judging his strength from his breath and footsteps is not difficult for the old butler who has been in the rivers and lakes for more than 30 years.

Besides, how can a face change the cold and alienated temperament on his body?Unlike the one in front of me, he looks more like a man than a god.

The acting is top notch.

"You really have good eyesight." Ye Zhuchen said boldly, "He is mine, so naturally he won't be easily seduced by an emperor's son whom he has just known for two days."

What a big breath.

The old butler's expression changed slightly, he could naturally tell that the person in front of him has unfathomable skill and is definitely not something in the pool, he absolutely dare not take it lightly, said in a deep voice: "I don't know if you two know each other, but you don't show your true colors to others , come to this village, what is your business?"

"Looking for someone." Ye Zhuchen said.

Such a light sentence made the old housekeeper's face even more serious.

Sure enough, the other party smiled again, and said clearly: "Zhou Suiyun, don't you know the first marshal who was all-powerful in the past and helped the building to collapse?"

The old butler's hand trembled slightly, and the cigarette ash fell on the ground: "You are joking, I am afraid that there is no one you want to find in Liushanzhuang—"

"Yes, there is no inside, but what about the outside?" Ye Zhuchen raised the corners of his lips, and the sun fell on his face, flamboyantly flamboyant, really handsome, "The younger generation is just helping to find someone. , you can rest assured, let alone stop, don't be afraid."

As he was speaking, he suddenly stretched out a finger, exerted force with his fingertips, and actually drew a complicated pattern in the air. The old housekeeper's cloudy eyes were brightened for a moment, and he recognized that it was the secret sign of the Demon Cult.

Ye Zhuchen smiled easily, and said sincerely: "When I do something, I usually don't bother to say hello first."

Those were dying people anyway.

What is the need to talk nonsense about the dead?

■

Zhou Chuze came on time.

He came all the way with light work, his figure was erratic, afraid of being discovered.But there were indeed few people in Wenliu Villa, he only saw two maids chatting and laughing in the garden along the way.

Ye Zhuchen was still sitting at the gate, facing the weeping willow alone, squinting lazily.

The wind broke.

Without looking back, he smiled and said, "Qinggong is not bad."

Zhou Chuze faintly felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Let's go?"

Ye Zhuchen patted his clothes, got up lazily, moved his hands and feet a little, and looked at Zhou Chuze: "Well, I said you will be more handsome as you grow."

Zhou Chuze didn't change his appearance now - since he was going to see his uncle, why bother?

Then he suddenly remembered that they had indeed not seen each other for four years.

Zhou Chuze smiled, and said coldly: "It's not like senior brother, but it's still a heavenly man."

Ye Zhuchen accepted it: "Junior brother, thank you."

Zhou Chuze became a little impatient. When facing Ye Zhuchen, his patience was never much: "Will you go?"

"Of course I have to go. After all, you dumped that prince." Ye Zhuchen shrugged slightly and took the lead to leave, "I don't know what you think, but you chose such a time and place, and you don't want to be a thief. Don't feel guilty... Well, the weather is good, so it's time for an outing."

Zhou Chuze: "..."

He really didn't think too much, and his thoughts were very simple. The gate was very close to Bagua Forest; three quarters before the hour was just enough time for a change of face.

He has no intention of doing bad things, his only purpose is to find his uncle.

However, Ye Zhuchen was not such a person.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, he suddenly raised his head to look at the position of the sun, and suddenly said: "It's time to get poisoned."

Zhou Chuze: "What?"

"Oh, when I met Lu Changting yesterday, I saw that you were very patient and didn't move." Ye Zhuchen said in a good mood, "It happened that he offended me today, so I gave him some medicine."

Zhou Chuze knew that this poisonous skill was by no means inferior to his medical skill.

"...What poison? How did he offend you?"

"Cough, Shengjisan, he disturbed my sleep in the morning, and I wiped it on his belt when I went out."

As the leader of the martial arts alliance, Lu Changting looks burly in appearance, but he is quite particular about his clothes.His belt is inlaid with beautiful jade and pearls, the most luxurious, so naturally he wears it every day.

Zhou Chuze happened to have seen Shengjisan in the book that Ye Zhuchen left on Fulong Peak.

The poison is extremely itchy when it is onset, forcing people to scratch their own skin forcefully, breaking an inch, until the blood flows horizontally, and then it can stop-but where there is poisoning, there must be no intact piece of flesh.

This kind of poison forces people to destroy their skin and grow new muscles later, so it has a nice name, Shengjisan.

Ye Zhuchen said coolly: "I wiped it on a lot, the place like the waistband is quite noisy, the powder shakes off... Well, I don't know how the lower body of League Leader Lu is doing now."

Zhou Chuze smiled slightly, and had to admit that at such a time, what came out of his heart was first a kind of pleasure, but then admiration: "Senior brother is a good means."

"Thank you, thank you." Ye Zhuchen accepted the compliment as always, "Even if you can't touch your enemy for a while, you shouldn't let him have a good time, right? But—to be honest, you did a good job on me .”

Zhou Chuze said indifferently: "Brother, what are you talking about?"

Ye Zhuchen smiled indifferently, and said flatly, "The truth."
