The protagonists have golden fingers

In a dark room in Yunzhuang Pavilion in the capital city, a lamp and candle swayed without wind, and the flame trembled, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke, which curled up and dissipated.

Shen Yan quietly watched the light flickering on and off, and could almost see from this orange spot how the owner was struggling and struggling, and finally turned into a ghost between heaven and earth, following the black and white impermanence invisible to the living. Hell.

"Senior Qu, let's go." Gu Zhuangcheng walked behind him with the information that just came from the southwest in his hand, and only said this.

Shen Yan closed her eyes and did not speak.He seemed to have expected these results very early, so whether it was Qi Jian's death or Qu Yuelou's death, he could accept it very quickly.

Only Gu Zhuangcheng knew, no.As the owner of the Yunzhuang Pavilion, Shen Yan is in charge of the largest intelligence network in the world. However, if there is any personal subjective emotion, the news revealed may not be so accurate. He forced himself to remain calm and even be patient no matter what situation he faced. Indifference is to prevent oneself from mixing too much personal emotion into the information.

For this, Gu Zhuangcheng was a little distressed, but he also felt very good.After all, Shen Yan is an existence that even he needs to look up to. He feels sad and hopeless because of the death of some people...

People who think like this probably read too many scripts.Not to mention that Shen Yan's personality is inherently indifferent, coupled with his habits over the years, probably only when Gu Zhuangcheng died in front of his eyes could he feel the heart-piercing pain, as for the others... that is not at all. possible!

It seems a bit too cold-blooded and ruthless to say so, but if it were not like this, Shen Yan would not be Shen Yan.

Quyuelou's death did not cause a big splash in the capital. Perhaps in the southwest, many people would feel sad and sad. There is also a Zhennan Hou Chafan who is not sad, but in the capital, people die every day. The more you watch, the more numb you become.

Even if the news is spread, the people who hear it will only say "oh", and then turn around and join the new round of battle.

Maybe in the middle of the night when they survived by luck, people will feel a little bit sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, but the redundant feelings, sorry, are really gone.

Shen Yan slowly closed the door of the dark room, and took out a note from Gu Zhuangcheng's hand. There were only a few words written on it, and it explained the cause and effect clearly.

After Shen Yan read it, with a slight movement of her finger, the note turned into flying dust, and fell into the dust as soon as she threw it.

Gu Zhuangcheng leaned forward, kissed the corner of his eyes, and said in a low voice: "The southwestern side is not safe anymore, what are you going to do?"

Shen Yan walked forward slowly, silent all the way.It wasn't until the two of them walked into the yard and saw Song Nian and Qi Yunzhi chasing and fighting, that they slowly said, "Let them go there."

"Okay." Gu Zhuangcheng agreed without hesitation, and then said, "I'll let the Yanlou disciples over there take care of them."

"Also, inform Ye Fangping to bring He Zhiyun into the palace to protect the emperor, queen and eldest princess. As for the other royal family and nobles, if you have the ability, just take a look. If you can't spare the manpower, just leave it alone."

Shen Yan continued to walk towards the gate, giving orders casually, as if Gu Zhuangcheng was not his Taoist companion at this moment, but his servant.

Gu Zhuangcheng is used to this, as long as Shen Yan enters the state of mind, let alone him, the heavenly king and Lao Tzu will have to kneel down to him!

"As for you..." Shen Yan glanced at him, as if thinking of something, took out a piece of paper that had been folded several times from his bosom, handed it to him and said, "You follow the list above, and lead the People, one counts as one, within half a month, I don't want to see them again."

Gu Zhuangcheng took it, and there were many names densely listed on it, including men and women, old and young, children from poor families, and scholars of high morals and prestige.

Gu Zhuangcheng glanced at it hastily, just such a piece of paper, at least one or two hundred people's names were needed, and all of them would be disposed of within half a month.

But he had no objection, stuffed the paper into his arms, nodded and said: "Okay, I see."

Shen Yan nodded in satisfaction, glanced aside inadvertently, and suddenly forgot what she wanted to say later.

Gu Zhuangcheng was still waiting for his next order, but didn't hear anything, so she couldn't help turning her head to look at him in doubt, and seeing him crookedly looking to the side, she also followed his gaze.

Su Xiaoqin was holding on to the door panting, her clothes were messy and her hair was hanging loose, one of her two shoes was missing, and she was in a panic.

Her eyes were red, and she was still holding a wooden box in her arms. Seeing Shen Yan looking over, she struggled to raise the corners of her lips, showing a fake smile, trying to suppress the trembling in her voice: "Pavilion Master, Song Pavilion...is gone."

Song Ge volunteered to go to the palace as a spy four days ago.Shen Yan didn't want to agree at first, but Gu Zhuangcheng persuaded Song Ge for a long time, overtly and secretly, trying to make him change his mind.

This person is too special for Shen Yan, Gu Zhuangcheng can't imagine what will happen to Shen Yan if something happens to this person.

But Song Ge said that he was originally a spy, otherwise he had been in ambush for so many years at the Shendaomen, and he would have been discovered long ago!

He insisted on this, and there were reasons for it, and the palace really needed a trustworthy person.

After thinking about it, Shen Yan still let go. Before he left, he was urged to be more careful. Just in case, he specially gave Su Xiaoqin to him, in the name of preventing someone from poisoning the nobles in the palace. The above is to protect Song Pavilion.

Song Ge also knew it well, he just laughed and didn't refuse.Su Xiaoqin, on the other hand, was dissatisfied for a long time, and in the end reluctantly followed Song Ge. Before leaving, she left behind a lot of medicine that would not pay for her life, as if to avenge Shen Yan for being overqualified.

Gu Zhuangcheng's eyes widened for a moment, and subconsciously turned to look at Shen Yan.The latter still had an almost indifferent and calm expression on his face. When he heard the news, he just raised his eyelids, let out a soft oh, and had no other reaction.

Su Xiaoqin has long been used to it, as if she had spent half her life escaping from the palace just to tell Shen Yan the news.

She raised her hand, wiped the dirt on her face, handed the box in her arms to Gu Zhuangcheng, and said with a forced smile: "Okay, I have to go back. Song Pavilion is gone. If I'm not here, they will come with you." Like a headless chicken, without a backbone."

She didn't say a word about the situation in the palace, but from the information she revealed intentionally or unintentionally, it can be known that the palace is already in chaos.

Gu Zhuangcheng took the box, it was heavy, and he didn't know what was inside.He glanced at Shen Yan, who was lowering his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

He looked away, nodded to Su Xiaoqin, and comforted him: "Go change your clothes and wash your face first."

Su Xiaoqin nodded in agreement, he thought for a while, moved closer, and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, Yan'er has made arrangements, and there will be helpers from the palace soon. During this time, you must Be careful, don't..." He paused, his voice lowered, "Don't let Yan'er worry."

Su Xiaoqin wanted to cry again, but she stubbornly widened her eyes, no matter how much the tears swirled, she didn't let them fall down. Hearing this, she hurriedly responded, then turned around and left in a hurry.

Gu Zhuangcheng noticed that when she turned around, she raised her sleeve and wiped her face vigorously, as if to erase all the weakness.

Gu Zhuangcheng sighed silently.In Yunzhuang Pavilion, Su Xiaoqin has the closest relationship with Song Ge. It is said that when Song Ge died in a suspended animation, besides Shen Yan who couldn't get sick because of it, Su Xiaoqin was also deeply hit.

I thought that after Song Ge came back, the relationship between the two of them would go further, but I didn't expect that before the window paper had time to pierce, heaven and man would be separated forever.

As he was thinking this way, something flashed through his mind, as if Su Lanqing and Qu Yuelou were the same?

He stretched out his hand, and gently held Shen Yan's fingertips, the cold hands made him sigh again: "Yan'er..."

Shen Yan raised her head slowly, opened her mouth, and said dryly, "It's okay."

Gu Zhuangcheng was very distressed, if it wasn't for the fact that there was a big wooden box in his arms, he would have hugged her into his arms to comfort him, but now he can only hold the other person's face and kiss the corner of his mouth, and drag him back to the room rest.

When the person was pressed on the bed with his coat off, Shen Yan suddenly woke up, struggling to get up: "No——"

"No, no!" Gu Zhuangcheng said involuntarily, using a skillful hand to remove the force from his body, and easily tucked him into the bed, "You are too tired, and your body will not be able to bear it anymore! Do you want to die suddenly?"

"But--"

"There's me outside, don't worry." Gu Zhuangcheng covered his eyes with his hands, and said softly, "Hey, close your eyes and sleep. If there is anything, I will discuss it with Yunting and the others."

Shen Yan bit her lower lip, he had a lot of words to say, but those words came to his lips, and for some reason, he swallowed them back.

After a while, he said softly: "Then you...you remember to wake me up early."

Gu Zhuangcheng smiled silently: "Okay, I understand."

Shen Yan was assured, so she obediently closed her eyes, and lost consciousness after a while.

Gu Zhuangcheng waited for a while to make sure that he was fast asleep before quietly leaving the room.

Qi Yunting was waiting outside the door, and when he saw him coming out, the first thing he said was: "I want to go back to Jiange."

Gu Zhuangcheng didn't speak, put his hand on his shoulder, held the wooden box brought back by Su Xiaoqin under his arm, and led him outside.

Qi Yunting was afraid that he didn't hear clearly, so he just opened his mouth to repeat, but he interrupted him: "Shh, be quiet, Yan'er just fell asleep, let's go further away and talk about it."

The disciple of Jiange opened his eyes wide and couldn't close his mouth for a long time.When he came back to his senses, he had already been dragged to the study.

Gu Zhuangcheng put the wooden box on the table, didn't think about opening it, but turned to look at Qi Yunting: "You want to go back to Jiange, now? Why?"

Qi Yunting said without hesitation: "Master is dead, and now I am the owner of the Jiange Pavilion. No one can sit in the Jiange Pavilion except me. If there is no one guarding the Jiange Pavilion, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Zhuangcheng shook his head and interrupted him: "If you go back now, it is tantamount to death. Qi Jian is dead, do you want to die too?"

"Jiange disciples, there has never been a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death! As a big brother, I should lead by example. If even I can't shrink back, how will Liuguang Jiange gain a foothold in the future?" Qi Yunting said firmly.

Gu Zhuangcheng clicked his tongue, thinking that this big disciple was probably brainwashed: "I didn't say that if you don't go back, you are greedy for life and afraid of death... Do you know that if you want to kill the evil cultivators, there are other ways?" Solution, you are going back now, where is Qi Yunzhi?

Yan'er just discussed with me that I want your junior brother and Song Nian to go to the Southwest together, if you leave, Qi Yunzhi will definitely go with you.

Now that Song Ge is dead and Song Nian is not good at cultivation, Yan'er will not rest assured that he will go to the southwest alone.

If they didn't go, Yan'er could only go there in person.You should know what the consequences will be if Yan'er leaves Beijing at this moment. "

Of course Qi Yunting knew.All the monks in the capital obeyed Shen Yan's dispatch of troops and generals. If he withdraws and leaves at this time, it may not take three days, and the capital will be in chaos!

But...he was struggling, and it was obvious that there was a battle between heaven and man in his heart.

Gu Zhuangcheng took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "Well, I thought about it for a while, and it turned out that the manpower is sufficient now, but the situation in the southwest is unstable. The leader of the holy sect in Miaojiang died, and there was no one in the army. Why don't you just follow suit?" Your junior and younger brother will go together, so there will be someone to take care of you on the way."

Qi Yunting was taken aback for a moment, then realized that the other party was asking him to go to the Southwest to stand up.He thought about it for a while, and felt that this method was also good. After all, Yunzhuang Pavilion was the dominant family in Jingzhong. If Liuguangjian Pavilion wanted to regain its foothold, the best way was to start from other places.The Southwest has always been a battleground for all sects, and there has been no conclusion for many years.

Originally, when they got the news that the Miaojiang Holy Cult, which has always been hidden from the gods, was in the southwest, they thought they had no chance to compete.

Now that the leader is dead, to put it bluntly, they may take advantage of the fire to loot, maybe there is another chance.

Thinking of this, Qi Yunting made up his mind.He nodded vigorously: "I understand, then I will inform my junior and Mr. Song right now."

Gu Zhuangcheng smiled: "Okay."
