Jiang Huai was sent down the mountain by Xie Xiao, the two of them didn't have much negotiation along the way, Xie Xiao finally tapped his acupoints, forcing him to spit out all the wine he just drank.

"After you go down the mountain, don't come back." Xie Xiao patted him on the back to help him soothe, "That day in the tea house, people from Shen Yao were watching, so I can't be selfish, this time, it's the last time I will help you. "

The two stood in the secluded forest, the shadows of the trees covered the sky, and the scattered light shone down. Usually, no one would come here, so it was much safer.

Jiang Huai understood what he meant in an instant, and his expression was overjoyed: "I knew that you must have some unspeakable secrets to do this."

"The wine you drank is poisoned. This poison is called Wuyigu Dusan. It is colorless and tasteless. It is not a poison with strong medicinal properties, but a medicine that slowly kills you. It can be as fast as a year and a half, and as slow as three years Zai, Shen Yao has already made up his mind, you can provide him with information during this period, but when the time comes, you will definitely die, he doesn't want you to survive at all," Xie Xiao didn't say anything else to him, Just explain to him, "This poison is not unsolvable. The medicine I gave you that night relieved half of the poison, and if you induce vomiting, it should be fine."

While talking, he clasped Jiang Huai's wrist and helped him check his pulse. After thinking about it, he still didn't feel at ease. Remember to adjust your breathing well, don't slack off, this is not a joke, Wuyigudusan is a strange poison in the world, if I want Shen Yao to trust me, I must do this."

"Brother——" Jiang Huai wanted to say something more, but Xie Xiao didn't let him speak, and directly stretched out his hand to signal him not to speak.

"After you go down the mountain, remember not to come back, do you understand?" After he finished speaking, he tapped on Jianghuai's acupuncture points again, Jianghuai's hands and feet became limp and drowsy, even if he supported the tree, he couldn't stand up.

He also wanted to ask Xie Xiao what he was going to do, but Xie Xiao obviously didn't plan to tell him. He just carried him on his back and walked down the mountain from the trail with him on his back. Together, but he concentrated all his remaining energy and refused to fall asleep no matter what.

The mountain road was slippery after it rained, and the trail was even worse. Xie Xiao's feet got stuck in the mud several times, and he almost couldn't stand still. The hem of his clothes was covered with mud. He was so embarrassed, not like his usual appearance.

Jiang Huai panicked, Xie Xiao is a scholar, green bamboo and Yiyi, he never loses his composure, why is he in such a hurry today?

He wanted to call senior brother again, and ask him if he was hiding something and refused to tell him, and told him that he could come down, but his eyelids were drooping, his arms were limply hammered on Xie Xiao's chest, and he didn't even have the strength to speak. He tried his best to stay awake, but he still couldn't resist the surging drowsiness.

"A Huai," Xie Xiao probably knew that he hadn't fallen asleep yet, and said to him, "Senior brother can't help but say something, if it hurts you, don't take it to heart." There was a smile in his words , obviously in such a mess, but still trying to ease the atmosphere.

Jiang Huai wanted to speak, but his lips moved for a long time, his breath was unstable, and he couldn't say a complete sentence, so he could barely call out the word "Senior Brother".

Fortunately, Xie Xiao heard it. The road was too steep, and it was difficult to walk. There was a person behind him, so he had to slow down. , once the magic energy is used, it is easy to be discovered.

"You love Xiangzhaifang's pastries. In fact, I waited for you to come back that day and brought you some, but after thinking about it for a long time, it will not taste good, so I put it away, and I didn't tell you," Xie Xiao smiled, "Senior brother promised you to take you to eat sweet-scented osmanthus and taro seedlings. I'm afraid I will break my promise this time."

Jiang Huai moved his fingertips and wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter the words. Xie Xiao had expected such a reaction from him early in the morning, so he took the initiative to say to him: "The acupoint will be relieved in twelve hours. When you get to the place, you Get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be over."

"Ah Huai has grown up, what should I say to Master in the future, and what should not be said, you should be clear, Master is not a good-tempered person, I have taken care of him for these years, I should know how to repay him, what a pity , let him down, don't make him sad anymore." Having said that, Jiang Huai is a fool, and he should know what Xie Xiao is going to do.

In the teahouse that day, Xie Xiao told him about his past and told him the reason for his rebellion, which left him speechless.

Xie Xiao carried Jiang Huai on his back, and brought him to a mansion, and went straight to the room in the backyard, avoiding all the people. The owner of this mansion was his dead servant, so naturally he would not tell the matter.

He put Jiang Huai on the bed, Jiang Huai's eyes were already closed, he was worried, afraid that he would wake up, afraid that he would run back when he woke up, and fight to the death tonight, the last thing he could do for Li Wenzhao was to keep Jianghuai, it is regarded as repaying the favor for many years.

The mud on the hem of his clothes and the dirt on his fingertips made him feel disappointed for a moment. If he went back like this, he might make Shen Yao suspicious. It was only a few hours away, and he couldn't be noticed at this juncture.

He asked the shopkeeper to bring hot water, wrung it dry, first wiped Jianghuai's hands and face, and then used the remaining water to simply clean up the dirty and muddy places, and put it directly into the water, Rub it several times to make sure there is no residue.

There are peach blossoms planted in the yard, and they are now in full bloom. The blooming branches are all crowded around the window. If the window is not opened, you can smell the fragrance of the flowers seeping in.

After everything was done, the clothes were still not dry, Xie Xiao went forward and opened the door so that the wind could come in, worried about the sleeping person, he lifted another quilt and covered him.

"Ah Huai, remember the day you told me, do I look like your brother?" He tucked the quilt up for Jiang Huai and smiled, "Actually, I also have a younger brother, but it's a pity that he was killed before he was born. , if there is a chance to meet under Jiuquan, I will tell him about you and tell him that besides me, he has an older brother in his 20s in this world."

The flower branches outside the window swayed gently against the window paper when the wind blew.

"I don't blame anyone for the matter of Xie's family. This is the path my father chose," Xie Xiao took a deep breath, smiled and said the last words to the sleeping person, "When I first learned the truth, I also I was confused and hated, I hated Li Wenzhao for killing my whole family, I hated him for promising my father that he would use my whole family's lives to pay tribute to Xie's family's reputation, but later, I figured it out, if there is really a person who wants me to hate , that is Shen Yao, if it wasn't for him to threaten my father again and again, how could my father go on this road?"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help clenching his hands into fists: "Although my father has practiced evil skills, he has never harmed anyone. What is wrong with him? The fault is that he is a person who is clearly a righteous person, but he has gone the way of the devil." way?"

Although Li Wenzhao had never mentioned this matter to him, but during the more than 100 years of getting along with Li Wenzhao day and night, he was more or less aware of Li Wenzhao's habits, so how could he make a judgment based on Shen Yao's few words?Therefore, he secretly found out the whole story of this matter, and then pretended to trust Shen Yao, pointing the finger at Li Wenzhao.

"Before, I didn't understand. My talent is obviously not that smart. Why did the master always teach me the exercises tirelessly. Where others can understand it once, I have to do it at least three times. According to his temperament, he should have taught me the exercises a long time ago. It's right to kick out the door." Speaking of this, Xie Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, "He told me that there is no rush for this matter, maybe others just took a shortcut?"

The sunlight outside the house was light, and the inside of the house was gloomy. There was no light on, and the sunlight could only pour in through the slightly open door, forming a fan-shaped light and shadow.

"At that time, I didn't know that the master was coaxing me, so I always foolishly thought that the reason why others practiced fast was because they took a shortcut, and I wanted to practice steadily. It wasn't until later that I realized that , It turns out that my foundation is mediocre, and I can't become a great weapon."

After Xie Xiao said it, he laughed it off, and then said: "The last time I spoke, I shouldn't have said these things. It's all in the past, and it should be done tonight."

Thinking of the past, his eyes sparkled, but they never faded. Those so-called fame, righteousness, and grievances, like a sharp sword, arrived behind him, oppressing his lifeline, and pushing him to the point of no return. abyss.

And the past of Xie's family is like a big fire, which burns him up, and if he touches it, it will be wiped out, so that when he closes his eyes, there will be a sea of ​​blood in front of him, and Li Wenzhao is standing on the other side of the sea of ​​blood , like a theater spectator, smiling condescendingly at him, with pity in his eyes.

Now that the matter has come to this point, he doesn't want to distinguish right from wrong anymore, but just wants to seek a relief.

The outside wind was blowing in and it was warm. Jiang Huai's eyeballs moved under his eyelids. Xie Xiao looked over and thought he was uncomfortable. The room was quiet at this time, and Jiang Huai's breathing could be heard, which was slow and steady.

He put his hand on Jianghuai's pulse, and made a diagnosis. After confirming that there was no major problem, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The light falling on the eyelids was blocked, Jiang Huai was dizzy, his eyelids were heavy, and he couldn't lift his hands no matter how hard he tried, he could feel the temperature of Xie Xiao's fingertips, which fell on his skin, it was warm, he Not completely asleep yet, he was trying to use his last waking consciousness to listen to Xie Xiao's words.

"Actually, since the few days you came to Taohuayan, I have noticed that you are wrong." Xie Xiao's fingertips were still on his wrists, and he did not take them back. "Jianghuai in the past was completely different from you. He didn't like to talk. , doing things are also very weird, and never have too much contact with people, the reason why I have intersected is because he wanted to kill Li Wenzhao, and in order to convince Shen Yao, I had no choice but to push him into the game. After a few days of getting along with Yan Yan, I can see that you are not the same person."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Jiang Huai's face.

Jiang Huai's face is not much different from the previous one, but if you look closely, you can find that every outline of him seems to have been re-sculpted. Although it is only a slight change, it is still the same as the original face. Totally different feeling.

"Okay, too long time will make Shen Yao suspicious, I should go." Xie Xiao wanted to take off the jade pendant hanging from his waist and give it to him, but he was afraid that Shen Yao would find out, so he still didn't take it. When he got down, after thinking about it, he opened the window and plucked a peach blossom.

The overnight rainwater on the peach blossoms has wet the leaves, and the petals are a little wilted, but when you get close, you can still smell a light fragrance.

"After thinking about it, I have nothing left for you. It's a pity to say goodbye." He put the peach blossoms beside Jianghuai's pillow, but he still felt regretful. It's so casual, it doesn't matter.

However, he didn't have time to make other plans, he left after saying this, he didn't know if Jiang Huai could hear those words, but he didn't want too many regrets to follow him to Jiuquan.

He was born with ordinary life, and he never thought that life and death would be so ordinary.

The sun is shining outside, and the spring breeze blows softly, blowing a tree of peach blossoms, and the fragrance soon fills the small yard, and even the house is full of lingering fragrance, the sun is streaming through the cracks in the branches , reflecting a piece of golden light.

Jiang Huai couldn't move, his heart ebbed and flowed, all his words were stuck in his throat, he couldn't do anything else, he could only listen to Xie Xiao's walking steps away.

He felt as if he was submerged by the tide, and a strong sense of suffocation rushed over his face. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes and wet his long eyelashes. He tried his best to move his hands, but he didn't even have the strength to lift them up.

At this moment, 007's cold voice suddenly resounded in his ears: [It is detected that the host's body is under control, and the system is releasing the control for you. Stay safe, the mission is in progress...]
