[-]. Tranquility

After Yue Nonghen's approval, Chu Yangqiu brought Chu Loufeng back to his room.As soon as he closed the door, he said in a deep voice, "Lou Feng, why did you take the blame for me?"

Chu Loufeng was startled, and then said in a low voice, "I'm afraid you won't be able to prove yourself."

"But it wasn't your fault."

"I've seen Pei Taiyue's methods before, not to mention Li Hanzhou's incident, all started by me, so—"

"Lou Feng!" Chu Yangqiu interrupted him, with anger in his voice, "I have taught you everything before!"

Chu Loufeng flinched, but gritted his teeth and said, "You taught me that 'two evils are the lesser', if I should not be accused of these crimes today, could it be that I want to kill the enemy in the face of this great enemy? Are you also guilty!"

"you!"

Chu Yangqiu raised his hand, as if he wanted to hit him, but in the end he just grabbed his shoulder with one hand and pushed him against the door. Chu Loufeng had never seen his brother so angry, and he was a little scared for a while. Dare to respond.

"I remember who killed Han Zhou very clearly; it was my negligence to save someone but was ambushed; as for Pei Taiyue's methods, I have only seen more than you in these years-but you Do you know, if the Lord of the Altar is not willing to believe me, I would not be able to save you just because of the crime you have confessed to today!"

Chu Loufeng bit the corner of his lips, but stubbornly did not make any excuses.Seeing the grievance in his heart, Chu Yangqiu also sighed, let go of the hand holding the other's shoulder, and helped him straighten his messy forehead hair.

"Loufeng, it's not that I can't sacrifice you," he said while looking into Chu Loufeng's eyes, "It's just that under the order of the sky, the innocent should not be punished, and the innocent should not be wronged." .”

"Big brother..."

"What's more... Lou Feng, I'm the elder brother."

Chu Yangqiu smiled wryly, and lightly touched the other's forehead with his own.This is a movement that the two brothers have been doing since they were young. At such a close distance, Chu Loufeng saw a flash of clear water mist in his brother's eyes.

The twilight is deep, and the candlelight is like beans.

Chu Yangqiu sat beside the couch, rolled up his crow-black sleeves, and used a silver knife to clean the dead bones and carrion at the broken limb of Chu Loufeng's right elbow.Chu Loufeng lay on his back on the bed, fell asleep due to the anesthetic, motionless, his face was pale, only Junxiu's brows were tightly frowned.

Finally, Chu Yangqiu put down the knife and let out a long breath.He carefully applied medicinal powder on the wound of the other party, and then bandaged it, then walked aside to wash his hands, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After a long time, the effect of the anesthetic finally faded, Chu Loufeng woke up leisurely, stared at Chu Yangqiu blankly for a while, his eyes gradually cleared up, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, brother."

Chu Yangqiu let out a "hmm", and then moved his eyes to his severed arm: "The wound is a mess, it's very infected, have you treated it?"

"The freshly bleeding wound was too suspicious, and I didn't dare to go to the doctor, so I used red-hot tongs to burn it a few times to stop the bleeding and make the wound look older," Chu Loufeng glanced at Chu with a guilty conscience. Yang Qiu did not dare not to say, "Later, I hid in the cargo hold at the bottom of the ship for three days, and probably got some moisture..."

"Body and skin, you are the parents, Lou Feng, you—" Chu Yangqiu's words were filled with suppressed heartache and anger, but he didn't know what to think of, and sighed softly, "Forget it, from now on, you can't do this again. "

"Understood." Chu Loufeng replied honestly.

"Admit your mistakes sincerely, and never change after repeated admonitions." Chu Yangqiu shook his head, and tapped his forehead with his index finger, "Sleep with me tonight, and send you back to Ten Thousand Flowers Valley tomorrow."

It was already late at night, but Chu Loufeng didn't feel sleepy at all.Chu Yangqiu was sitting at a table not far from him, reviewing something under the candlelight, rubbing his forehead with his hands from time to time, showing a bit of fatigue on his face.

"Brother, are you still asleep?"

Chu Yangqiu turned around and saw Chu Loufeng half propped up looking at him, but because he was afraid of the cold, he wrapped the quilt into a ball around his body, couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said, "Go to sleep first."

Chu Loufeng let out an "oh", leaned back on the pillow, and asked, "Why did you send me back to Wanhua Valley?"

"I want you to recover from your injuries there, and I also asked Junior Brother Yan to help you rebuild your right hand with the mechanism Yanjia."

"What about other than that?"

Chu Yangqiu was silent for a while: "You don't have to ask so many questions."

"Brother, tell me the truth," Chu Loufeng lay on the pillow, staring into his brother's eyes for a moment, "I came from the north, and I saw the battlefields of both of you along the way. Isn't it very dangerous to commit a crime once?"

"Oh, Lou Feng..." Chu Yangqiu put down the pen in his hand helplessly, "Qin Si completely gave up on the road and moved all his troops to the middle road. The first place to bear the brunt is Qutang Gorge. This is an important place for military strategists. There will be no danger in the middle."

When Chu Loufeng heard the words, he said hesitantly: "Qin Si gave up on the road because... Tang Ruhui?"

"That's right," Chu Yangqiu nodded, "Borrowing a knife to kill someone."

"Then can you join hands with Tang Ruhui instead?"

"...Go to bed, it's already so late."

Chu Yangqiu shook his head, closed the documents on the table, and came to the couch with the lamp in his hand.He usually lived a simple life, and the bed was not spacious enough for the two of them to lie down on.

Chu Loufeng consciously moved in, let his elder brother lie down beside him, and blew out the candle with a "huh".

In the dark room, the two brothers were lying side by side on the couch, Chu Loufeng turned his head, just in time to meet his brother's shining eyes: "Brother, I..."

After he finished talking, he didn't know how to continue. It seemed that there were thousands of words in his heart, but they were all stuck in his throat at this moment, and he couldn't utter a single word.

"I know." Chu Yangqiu gently held Chu Loufeng's left hand, and squeezed it comfortingly, "Don't worry about me."

Ever since Chu Yangqiu followed Pei Yuan to leave the valley at the age of 15, the two have not been so close for more than ten years.Chu Loufeng held his brother's hand and gently rubbed against his side.

When they were chatting before, none of them mentioned Li Hanzhou, but now Chu Yangqiu looked at his younger brother's face, but he bent his lips and said softly: "The righteous way in the world, we will guard it together in the next life - the city he guarded, I will definitely Will guard him."

Although his expression was somewhat sad, the look in his eyes was calm and gentle.Chu Loufeng stared at him blankly for a moment, took back all the comforting words he had prepared, and nodded vigorously.

Compared with Qin Si's aggressive attack on Qutang Gorge, the defense line of Evilman's Valley can be described as horrible.The great battle a few months ago caused the Valley of the Wicked to lose Luodao and Jinshui, and then amidst the rumors that were spreading, Qin Si was forced to fight to regain Jinshui Town.Unexpectedly, the good times didn't last long, Tang Ruhui sneaked in from behind, and the two sides stood in a stalemate for a long time, but the Haoqi League took advantage of the emptiness and captured Fenghua Valley all the way.

Afterwards, Ye Tianci and Tang Fei went to Gusu to investigate the treasure of the Chen family. According to rumors in the world, on October [-]th, among the hundreds of people who went into the cave to search for treasure, only two of them left alive.Therefore, if there is a treasure, the secret must be in their hands.

Therefore, since they first left Gusu, they have been chased and killed countless times along the way.After finally escaping back to Chang'an City, one died and the other escaped, which immediately made people more convinced that the secret of the Chen family's treasure was now in Tang Ruhui's hands.

However, for Tang Ruhui, this astonishing treasure is as difficult as a hot potato at this time-he is unwilling to hand over this secret to others, and he has no way to turn it into real benefits for a while. So it caused endless trouble.

This was already troublesome enough, but Ye Tianci desperately injured him and let Pei Taiyue go. The latter teamed up with Qin Si, and the situation in the Valley of the Wicked turned completely to the other side.

On this day, Tang Ruhui was discussing matters with everyone in the study, when someone outside suddenly reported that Pei Taiyue asked to see him.There are many close friends around him, but he is not afraid of any wrongdoing by the other party, so he was only brought in, leaning on the chair and sneering, "Daozhang Pei is here today, what's your business?"

"Master Tang would rather seek skin from a tiger in order to defeat Commander Qin?" Pei Taiyue asked coldly.

Tang Ruhui's heart tightened, but his expression remained calm: "What do you mean by that?"

"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."

Pei Taiyue spoke slowly, and said the exact same sentence as before, pointing directly at the other party's secret collusion with Haoqi League.The barely maintained peaceful atmosphere between the two had collapsed. Tang Ruhui gestured calmly with his left hand hanging by his side, and said with a cold smile, "Who gave you the courage to come to my mansion to speak nonsense?"

"It's just based on... the heart and morals, it should be punished."
