The so-called "big hermit hides in the city", in Luoyang City, the place where Tang Ruhui often stays is an inconspicuous inn called "Yanhui", which is located in Dong'an Square. Quite elegant, with people from the Valley of the Wicked up and down.

Pei Taiyue obviously came here often, leading Chu Loufeng through the scattered houses with familiarity.The two of them arrived in Luoyang in the morning, and although they didn't deliberately conceal their whereabouts, they didn't inform others.But Tang Ruhui got the news so early, obviously he has many eyes and ears in Luoyang City.This move may be his warning—although the general intelligence of Yanzhang Evil Valley is not extinguished, Tang Ruhui probably has an intelligence network no less than his own.

After the two came to the Yanhui Inn, the shopkeeper checked the stamps of the two people's belts, and then ordered the waiter to lead them to a private room on the second floor, while he quietly retreated out.

A tall figure stood by the window with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a dark blue narrow-sleeved dress with his back to the two of them.Chu Loufeng noticed that his right hand had six fingers, and knew that this was probably the feared "ghost hand" Tang Ruhui in the Valley of the Wicked.The two stood still at the door, Pei Taiyue bowed his head and said, "When will Commander Tang arrive in Luoyang? This subordinate is far away from welcoming you, and I hope Commander will forgive me."

Tang Ruhui turned around and said "Hmm".He looked about 40 to [-] years old, with a few gray streaks in his temples.However, his pair of eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and when he glanced at a person, he could almost see the fire in the depths of his pupils.

"In the previous battle of Haoqi League's surprise attack on Jinshui Town, you ordered Qingyunwu to abandon the city in the name of Commander Yan and me, and ordered people to burn Jinmenguan to the ground?"

"Yes."

Tang Ruhui nodded, not getting angry and prestige: "Why is this so?"

"The Haoqi League came prepared. If Jinmenguan falls, the isolated city of Qingyunwu will be destroyed. It is better to unite the two cities to defend."

"Then why didn't you keep it?"

"It's the subordinate's incompetence."

Pei Taiyue answered without hesitation, but Chu Loufeng beside him was surprised.He was also in Jinshui Town that day, and he knew that Pei Taiyue had nothing to do with the fall of Jinmenguan. After all, when they arrived, the Haoqi League had already succeeded in a sneak attack.However, looking at Tang Ruhui again, his face was still sinking like water, and he didn't show any anger, instead he shook his head and said: "Although I lost the second city, I took back Fenghu village, this decision is not easy. He walked to the table beside him, greeted the two to sit down, and even poured two cups of tea with his own hands, before he asked again: "Why did Haoqi win this battle?"

"...This subordinate is dull, please tell Commander Tang clearly."

Pei Taiyue replied in a low voice, and Tang Ruhui didn't speak again.In fact, the reason why this battle will be lost, both of them are clear in their hearts - the guards of Hongliangang were negligent and let the Haoqi League into Jinshui; Yi Xinglin did not send troops to help in order to protect itself.These two incidents clearly pointed to another commander, Qin Si, but if he really went to ask about the crime, it would be nothing more than an undetected fault.There is no way to verify how much calculation and how much unknown thoughts are in it.

"Forget it," Tang Ruhui shook his head, then turned to Chu Loufeng, "Is this your new recruit?"

"Yes," Pei Taiyue hesitated for a moment, but decided to say it straight, "it's Chu Yangqiu's younger brother, and he was neutral before."

"Ha ha……"

Tang Ruhui actually smiled, the tea mist separated the two of them, making it impossible to see his face clearly.Chu Loufeng looked at him with some confusion, not knowing whether to say hello or show his loyalty.Then, his laughter stopped suddenly: "If you have a chance to confront Chu Yangqiu, will you kill him or let him go?"

Chu Loufeng shivered suddenly.

Tang Ruhui stared at him for a moment, and the powerful coercion honed on the battlefield came towards him like tangible and qualitative.Chu Loufeng pinched the palm of his hand with his nails, forced himself to straighten his back, raised his head to meet his gaze, and said word by word: "If your lord has a chance to confront Commander Qin, will you kill him or let him go?"

Pei Taiyue almost gasped.

The feud between the two commanders of the Valley of the Wicked has a long history and is an open secret.However, no one has ever dared to bring this matter to the fore, especially in front of Tang Ruhui at such a sensitive time!

For a while, there was no one in the house, and the dripping water turned into ice.

After a long time, Tang Ruhui said in a deep voice, "You are quite courageous."

Chu Loufeng bit his lower lip, and said softly, "Cencifu is immoral, he should be punished."

Tang Ruhui tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, again and again, as if knocking on a person's heart: "Oh?"

"If someone pursues his own selfish desires and ignores the overall situation, his heart will be scattered in the valley, and he will be in danger for a long time."

"You mean, someone colluded with the Haoqi League?" Tang Ruhui remained calm.

"If not, how could there be him?"

"Lou Feng!"

He answered lightly, but Pei Taiyue was startled and stopped abruptly.Instead, Tang Ruhui raised his hand and said, "Go on."

Chu Loufeng asked back: "Commander Tang thinks that if you repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?"

"Heh, you kid, you can talk." Tang Ruhui chuckled, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, as if he was closing his eyes and resting his mind.Chu Loufeng and Pei Taiyue looked at each other, but they didn't dare to make a sound.The tea in Zhidao's cup was gradually getting cold, and Tang Ruhui sighed: "If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside."

Pei Taiyue's heart twitched slightly, and she said, "What does Commander Tang think?"

"All kinds of rumors are just catching wind and shadows. I advise you two, don't ask for trouble."

What Tang Ruhui said was quite profound, but the meaning in the words was quite different from that just now.Pei Taiyue knew that this person had long wanted to eradicate Qin Si, and the battle of Jinmen Pass was just a wedge.Now that Chu Loufeng has talked to him to such an extent today, if he doesn't stand up for the two of them, with Tang Ruhui's suspicion, it will be difficult for him to be kind in the future.So he leaned forward and said: "There is no reason for it. Although there is no evidence that Commander Qin colluded with the Haoqi League, it is a firm fact that Haoqi took the route of Hongliangang to attack and that Xinglin did not send troops to help. -"

Chu Loufeng picked up his words: "What's more...whether there is nothing to worry about if you want to commit a crime?"

It was already dusk when the two of them came out of Yanhui Inn.Chu Loufeng let out a long breath, feeling as if all the strength in his body had been drained.The sweat-drenched middle coat was stuck to his back, and the autumn wind blew it, and it felt a bit icy cold.

Pei Taiyue kept silent, and Chu Loufeng didn't dare to speak up.It wasn't until the two of them walked out of Dong'an Square that he heard him ask in a low voice, "Why did you say these things just now?"

Chu Loufeng looked up at him, only to see the young Taoist priest's face was calm, not showing any joy or anger.He hesitated for a moment, and his intuition told him that it was useless to go around in circles at the moment, so he answered honestly: "Commander Tang himself wants to fight, but he is still short of battle. You are a subordinate of Unextinguishable Smoke. This person is more suitable than you. It's just that you have always been at odds with him, and your position is not clear, so you must not be able to give orders directly..."

"Is this using me as your vote?"

Chu Loufeng's footsteps stopped.

"In your heart, I... am just such a philanderer?"

Pei Taiyue also stopped and looked back at him.In the twilight of the dusk, Chu Loufeng's dark eyes were dyed with a layer of glass-like gold, with a faint watery light.

He suddenly couldn't say anything.

"We entered Luoyang City this morning, and he invited us to drink tea at noon. The thoughts in it are obvious. Even if you shouldn't, wouldn't someone else take the top? And he has treated you with great courtesy over the years, no Are you also afraid of the information network in your hands? One will change, and if he doesn't need you in the future, or if he thinks you can't be used by him after all, what will happen to you?" Chu Loufeng clenched his fists tightly, A rhetorical question, almost shouting the last sentence, "Ah Yue, this is your vote!"

On the street with people coming and going, he stood like this, his thin body trembling slightly, and his large black robe was flapping in the wind.And behind him was the setting sun like blood.

After a long time, Pei Taiyue said softly: "I'm sorry."

Regardless of everyone's eyes, he walked forward and held Chu Loufeng in his arms: "Although I am in the Valley of the Evil, I don't want to participate in too many affairs in the valley—but if it's just for self-protection, it's more than enough. Just trust me."

Chu Loufeng buried his face in his neck, nodded: "Well, I believe you."

Pei Taiyue stroked the other party's long hair reassuringly, and then just hugged him like this, and walked forward slowly: "It's not my wish to fight for power and profit. If there is a chance in the future..."

He didn't continue, but Chu Loufeng knew that the remaining half of the sentence was "Exit the Valley of the Wicked".After being silent for a while, he suddenly heard him calling again: "Loufeng."

These two words were said solemnly, and Chu Loufeng raised his head involuntarily: "Huh?"

"I didn't spare my life before, and I even secretly hoped that one day I could die on the battlefield... because I felt that a sinful person like me was not qualified for a good death, nor worthy of a peaceful and happy life."

Pei Taiyue's tone was very soft, but she said every word very seriously: "But now, I have changed my mind - although the mistake is irreparable, I am willing to try my best to make up for it... I still have the rest of my life to redeem it. The sins of the past will one day be able to stand in the world with peace of mind."

Chunyang Daozi was dressed in white like a crane, and his dark eyes were shining with warmth: "Would you...would you like to be with me?"

Chu Loufeng was shocked.

He stared at him blankly for a long time, then lowered his eyes, and replied in a low voice: "En."
