Jianghai Wuyue

Perhaps it was because the bloody horror on Guanyin Mountain made people feel tired, and the night darkened early as if they understood people's hearts. There was no star in the low night sky, only Lin Si and Luo Shui were dim. The warm light of the lanterns in their hands illuminates the way forward.On the undulating road, there are broken and scattered stones everywhere on the paving slabs, which hurt people's feet.

It was so hard to find a resting place under the dim light of the lanterns in the inn, but when I entered the door, I only saw a lazy waiter lying on the counter and playing with his fingers. Hearing the sound of someone coming in, he was still dazed and staring like in a dream. After staring for a long time, he suddenly cheered up and stepped forward to welcome the guests.

"Guests are going to stay here. We are the best inn in the outer city. You guys are coming here!" After looking at a few tables and chairs in the lobby, and beckoning a few people to sit down, he hurriedly took the best tea leaves that had been shelved in the shelf and brewed them, for fear that some people would dislike his laziness and run away.

Yuan Qingzhang has never seen anything good that is so pampered. This kind of tea is considered the best in Xiaoer's opinion, but in his eyes, it is not even worthy of tea for gargling.It's just that I've been wandering around for a day, and I found a decent inn after looking around, and I really don't want to leave, and judging by the appearance of this mistress, he is also a shrewd and eloquent person, so he must know a lot of news.

Thinking of this, Yuan Qingzhang slowly burst into a refreshing smile, took the cup of tea brewed by Xiaoer without disdain, showing a warm-hearted and cheerful temperament that did not match the appearance, and chatted with Xiaoer as a brother up.

In the past few years, Hongzhou has become more and more chaotic. People who know a little bit of news and do not worry about their livelihoods do not like to come to Hongzhou to find fear.From the bustle and bustling of Hongzhou to the work of today's desolate and desolate city, the shop clerk has seen many people of all kinds, but it is the first time that such a romantic and handsome person has come several times at once.When Cai Jiang looked up, he thought he was in a daze, and went to Yaotai Wonderland without paying attention, and saw the fairy in the storybook legend.

Now that the immortal does not despise his lowly status so much, and talks with him shoulder to shoulder, how can he not let him spontaneously feel a wave of panic and excitement, stuttering only knowing everything and talking endlessly.

"Brothers, I have been here before. I remember that at this time, the street was full of bright lights, pedestrians, and stalls and shopping. I don't know how lively it is. Why did I come in today and there are so many people?" What happened to the withered and desolate scenery?" Yuan Qingzhang raised his neck boldly and dried up the tea in the cup, with a slightly disappointing restraint on his face, he vividly treated a man who wanted to drink but was polite The informal son and brother played penetratingly.

Chen Ling on the other side was already a little stunned. After getting along for so long, he had seen this man's appearance as a man of a noble family who was so chic and imposing, and he had seen him do things to him alone. The willful appearance of being coquettish, clingy and jealous, I have seen him killing iron and blood, ruthless, sensitive and suspicious, but I have never seen him pretending to be a different person.If he hadn't known that he was Yuan Qingzhang, the master who would wipe out Jing Anhai in a flash, he would have really thought that he was a majestic and noble man, but in fact he was an eclectic and generous hero .

Seeing that the waiter in the shop was about to be coaxed by him to be the most temperamental person he had ever seen in Bisheng, and he was so moved that he almost burst into tears, Chen Ling had to sigh, he really deserves to be a member of the intelligence family.

Wang Qi on the side snorted in a muffled voice. He just didn't like Yuan Qingzhang anymore.All day long, he will be colorful and flirtatious, wishing that everyone would be dazzled by his colorful clothes and bow down at his feet.I really don't know what tricks he used to trick his senior brother over.

Hongxiu didn't have any strange slander, she knew at first sight that this man was not easy to mess with, just mentioning the sudden flash of dark light in his eyes, it made people feel terrified at a glance.What's more, he is now like a tyrant, carefully guarding the treasure in his heart, not allowing anyone to covet it.If it wasn't for her begging for the right person with winks, and keeping her distance from Chen Ling, she would have decided not to approach him except to say something necessary.In this way, it can be regarded as making Yuan Qingzhang look at her sullenly when he is not around.

Seeing his contrasting appearance now, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he silently took a bowl of rice and huddled aside to eat.

On the other side of the table were already potted rough pottery wine jars, one after another slowly emptied and rolled on the ground.The boss who hadn't shown up for a long time got the two ingots of silver from Chen Ling, and went back to lie on the rocking chair by the counter contentedly, with a blanket on his lap, squinting his eyes and watching a few people sitting there chatting happily.

The wine was hot, and the words gradually became uncontrollable. The waiter's dry and thin face was flushed hotly from the liquor, his eyes were trembling with two soft glares, and he waved his hands with his tongue out and said angrily: "Since this day After the Wang family changed their directors, the entire Hongzhou city is getting more and more depressed day by day. Our place used to be the most prosperous road, and the lights are always on day and night, until dawn. What about now?"

Xiao Er spread her hands mockingly, even now her cloudy eyes could clearly show a little powerless sarcasm, "In broad daylight, there is not even a single person, and when there is a gust of wind blowing at the door, there will be a loud bang There was a loud bang. The whole city was like an empty city, and the people living inside were almost like walking corpses! Those outside the city who knew a little bit about the details would not dare to come in again, for fear that they would never return. You See that group of idlers at the gate of the city? Those people used to be the bravest men in the city, with integrity. I don’t know how many young girls are rushing to marry them! But now they are forced to be like this by the grandsons of the Wang family!”

"Every household's slightly better-looking and older girls, from door to door, were collected into their homes, some were used by themselves, but most were sent to the Night Tour Palace. A few days ago , I also saw... my unmarried daughter-in-law is in the team of the Wang family! These beasts! They will die sooner or later!" Xiaoer smothered his face and gulped down a gulp, The wine cup was thrown on the table, and it was shaken violently, making a loud "bang".

While sitting on the rocking chair, the old shopkeeper lay calmly on it without even raising his eyelids. He didn't know how many times he had heard this kind of words. Every time someone came, everyone he knew or not would say this Once.

Yuan Qingzhang helped up the poured wine cup in a good-tempered manner, his eyes turned red with empathy, and he yelled angrily: "These grandchildren are really not a thing, and they have turned a lively capital into such a good place." It looks like a ghost, and I don't know what the picture is about!"

"What else can you figure out! It's not about the power of Yeyou Palace, waiting for Yeyou Palace to share some broth with them for the sake of currying favor with them!" Xiaoer's eyes flickered with disbelief The well-intentioned and resentful Guang did not hesitate to use the greatest malice to speculate on the Wang family, "A young woman raises a young woman, and what she does is nothing compared to Wang Erlang! In the past, when Wang Erlang was here, the Wang family was also in the city. One of the rare families who have accumulated good deeds, the whole family may not be said to be all good people, but in the end they behaved in a reasonable manner. Now? After Wang Shouying came back, he has only been in charge of the family for less than two years, and this vicious behavior is getting worse and worse. It's frightening to hold a prefect firmly in the palm of your hand. If this continues, I'm afraid this Hongzhou will soon become the fiefdom of their family. I don't know if the court knows what's going on here?"

But when talking about the imperial court, Xiaoer's face showed a trace of mocking bitterness, "Even the magistrate can't move, presumably the slightest news can't get out. We... are nothing more than some dispensable unknown pawns. If we go out, presumably the imperial court will not make a big move because of us."

"Well, it's the same everywhere. The powerful and powerful control one side. Even though we have some money, we don't have power in our hands. It looks like we are wearing gold and silver, and the scenery is boundless. But in front of these people It's not like you just do it, it's effortless." Yuan Qingzhang's picturesque and deep eyebrows were also stained with sadness, and the slender eyelashes fell on the slightly sunken eye sockets, like a butterfly , trembling twice in melancholy, making people unconsciously feel depressed.

Hongxiu hurriedly pinched herself and straightened her mind. This kind of person looked like a beautiful flower with amazing talent and beauty, with a peerless appearance.It's just that the flower is poisonous, and if you don't pay attention, you will die because of greed in your heart.

Chen Ling ate all the food in the bowl, and just as he was about to drink soup, he pushed a cup of still steaming chicken soup with oily flakes in it. There were still a few pieces of snow-white chicken in it, and the chicken skin was torn from the top. It's clean.When Chen Ling turned his head to look over, he happened to see Yuan Qingzhang next to him putting a piece of chicken skin from the plate into his mouth.Noticing his gaze, while talking to Xiao Er, she reached out and patted his back very naturally and affectionately.

The temperature from the ironing post on his waist was transmitted against the skin, and flowed softly to his heart, making him involuntarily bring a smile on his face.Looking at the chicken in the bowl, I feel especially sweet.

Seeing that Yuan Qingzhang has been leading Xiao Er to talk, and he has never used two mouthfuls of food, he keeps moving the dishes that have just been served on the plate, pushes them over, and talks to Xiao Er, letting him take a rest Cushion your tummy.

"I just heard from you that the Patriarch of the Wang Family didn't seem to be brought up in the family. Why did he become the Patriarch instead of other direct descendants inheriting the Patriarch's position?"

The Southern Kingdom is different from the Northern Kingdom in that it has always paid attention to the difference between the concubine and the concubine. Unless there are no direct descendants among the uncles and brothers in the family, even if they adopt a child from the offspring, they are not willing to let the concubine take charge of the family affairs.So for so many years, even if the southern country is a wealthy family, there are very few children of concubines born.The children of the concubine are blessed with innate advantages when they are born, and the children of the concubine, even if they don't have such careful care, they will not be easy to imagine.

Facing Chen Ling, Xiao Er didn’t have the same casualness when talking to Yuan Qingzhang. He was dizzy and remembered to restrain himself. His limp body tried hard to sit up straight, but he was drunk, and he didn’t work hard. Still the same crooked.

"This Wang Shouying's mother was born in Goulan. When Mrs. Wang was looking for flowers and willows, she gave birth to a seed once. That woman was cruel. She threw Wang Shouying at the gate of Wang's house, and walked away without a trace with the money she got. Only Wang Shouying was left struggling to survive in the Wang family mansion."

"The mistress of the Wang family is not a tolerant person. It was rumored in the city that she and Mrs. Wang were so affectionate, and now she is so angry. How could she be slapped in the face by Wang Shouying?" He has a good complexion." Xiao Er is obviously well acquainted with the dirty things in these wealthy families, and his eyes lit up when he said it, and he looked different from the inferior people like them to Chen Ling. The aristocratic young man who grew up in the fragrance of books didn't have that stage fright anymore, and he started to talk eloquently.

"This Wang Shouying was thrown into the care of a servant in Wang's house. Normally he was not allowed to come out. The servant did all the food and clothing himself, so he was brought up in such an unknown way. I don't know how Wang Shouying grew up. I haven't heard that he went to school in a serious way. Who knew that after he became an adult, he would slowly be known as his amazing talent. He really has that ability. He has a romantic and handsome appearance, which is very popular with some young girls." When Xiao Er said this, there was a kind of envy on his face, such a person is like a realistic material honed by Bao Jianfeng. , from a humble background, it would be better not to have the surname of the Wang family.Under such difficult and dangerous conditions, he can still live a prosperous life, and he has become the first person in Hongzhou City to be in charge of the family.

"In that case, this Wang Shouying is also a hero." Chen Ling admired such a person, but he didn't like it.Because such people often have a vicious and vicious personality, and their actions often cause rivers of blood to flow, and most of these people are narrow-minded, and they can't get along easily.If you get along with it, I'm afraid it will end badly in the end.

A gust of cold wind gushed in from outside the door, making the two navy blue door curtains hanging on the door rattle.It was just about to fall into the night, and the sun had just gone down, and the street was completely silent.Looking through a half-open window, not even a speck of light could be seen.

When Chen Ling went down the mountain with his senior brother, he had also been to the village. Even in a remote village, it was not like this that there was no sound of dogs barking at night, not to mention that it was still in the city.Previously, he thought that Hongzhou was at best a mess, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

"Then why did Wang Shouying wantonly search for women like this? What are those girls doing in the palace at night?" Chen Ling put down his chopsticks, and brought the last dish of food in the bowl to Yuan Qingzhang. Sitting Wang Qi and Hong Xiu had already started to do nothing, and Wang Qi was so sleepy that he was sticking his chin on the table, almost falling asleep.Hongxiu sat on the side upright, dressed like a man, her family and even the entire village were harmed by the Wang family, how could she listen to Xiao Er bragging and scolding here.No one knows better than her how cruel the Wang family is.

The old shopkeeper lit up a few big lanterns in the hall, brought out the soup to understand the wine, and asked Xiao Er to wait on Chen Ling and the others, so he couldn't bear it anymore and went back to rest.A child from a relative of the old shopkeeper took over his shift and came out to watch.This person is a good person to join in the fun, seeing them inquiring about the Wang family and Yeyou Palace, he couldn't help but also ran over and sat down to talk with them.

The man's name is Tong Yue. He has a round face and speaks kindly. Seeing that Chen Ling is interested, he pushes Xiao Er away to talk to Chen Ling. It's just an ordinary little sect. In Hongzhou, apart from bullying the common people, they didn't dare to do anything for free. Later, I don't know what happened, but Yeyou Palace suddenly got up, and overnight At that time, the most powerful Goshawk Sect was completely slaughtered. Just like that, he became a tyrant in Hongzhou." When he said this, Tong Yue showed a faint and subtle smile on his face. The white and plump cheeks were squeezed to the point where there was only a slit left, and the eyes were even more invisible now.

"This night tour palace is full of women, all of whom are practicing evil techniques that absorb people's energy. In the past few years, the sons of the Zhou family's sons who were born in the same place went away one after another in a few days because they were entangled with these women. When he died, it was said that he was still doing those things with those women~" Tong Yue shook his head regretfully, a string of thumb-sized turquoise necklaces hung around his neck, glowing under the glowing candlelight. A dazzling brilliance.

Such fine turquoise beads were not the sort of thing an ordinary innkeeper's relative could have.

Chen Ling kneaded a piece of dim sum with a normal expression. The rough flour had not been kneaded, and it was wrapped in his mouth, making his soft mouth uncomfortable and painful.

Over there, Tong Yue was still talking about these boudoir affairs with great interest, and the more he talked, the more ugly he became.It seems that there is nothing useful to come out tonight. Chen Ling has been running around for a day, but he really doesn't want to talk anymore. It’s been a day of running around on the road, and we’re exhausted after talking to you for so long. Wait until tomorrow when we’re refreshed, and we’ll talk to you again.”

It is rare for Tong Yue to find someone who likes to listen to these news. He looked at Chen Ling with his slightly dilated eyes eagerly and reluctantly, and was immediately stabbed secretly by Yuan Qingzhang who stood up with him.Although I don't know why, but the gaze just now was too penetrating, Tong Yue swallowed uncomfortably, and raised a warm smile, "Young Master said, it's too late today, it's all our fault , I haven’t seen a stranger for a long time, and I couldn’t hold it for a while, which delayed everyone’s rest. The back kitchen is boiling hot water, and it will be delivered to everyone in a while!” Said, hurriedly went to the back kitchen to urge water up.

Hearing that they could go upstairs to rest, the half-dead Lin Si and Luo Shui hurriedly got up, Lin Si excitedly carried the luggage on the table on his back, and excitedly stepped forward to clear the way.

Since no one came in to live in, all the rooms in this inn were for Chen Ling and the others to choose from.

Fortunately, although the depression has come down, the inn is still cleaned up, and it is still possible to live there.

Lin Silai went back and forth to choose for a long time, but he couldn't find a room that was barely pleasing to the eye. In his opinion, all the rooms here were not worthy of his son, and the picky appearance made the old shopkeeper I almost couldn't hold my face anymore.

Chen Ling pulled him away, chose a room near the back, and let Lin Sixian go in to tidy up, then turned around and apologized to the old shopkeeper who came here to entertain them: "My book boy is really spoiled by me, I have been growing up with me, and because of this friendship, I dote on him a lot. I didn't expect him to be so rude. I hope the shopkeeper will forgive you for being rude to you. Today is also It's short, I don't want to disturb the shopkeeper's rest, and I will take him to apologize to you tomorrow." After speaking, he solemnly bowed to the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper waved his hands again and again, and cupped his hands in fear and trepidation: "Master, you are serious. That little brother is also loyal to you. You have such a loyal servant, so I really envy you."

The two of them stood outside and talked a lot of politely back and forth. Lin Si had already cleaned up over there, and Yuan Qingzhang followed him in very naturally and stayed in the room. Silently shrank in another room, not only not disturbing the intimacy between the two, but also protecting them properly.

Lin Si quit, squinting her eyes, trying to get lucky.Now that we are outside, it is not good to quarrel with him loudly, so we can only grit our teeth and hum in a low voice: "Patriarch Yuan, why don't you come over? This room is small, and it is considered cramped to live with our young master alone. Now, if you add another one, I'm afraid I won't be able to turn around."

Yuan Qingzhang's eyes were only fixed on Chen Ling who was talking to the old man outside the door, and he didn't care about Lin Si's stare, so he just pursed his lips and hummed softly when he heard this, "I Concentric with A Ling, no matter how small the room is, it is enough to accommodate the two of us. But you are just a servant who serves A Ling. After cleaning up, you should go back to your room by yourself. If A-Ling needs anything, he will naturally call you over. But you, don't challenge my patience unscrupulously just because A-Ling likes you."

Someone once said before that one look from a person who has attained perfection can intimidate people.Lin Si only thought it was just a legend to coax children to play, and he had never seen anyone with such kung fu in the sect.

But now Lin Si looked at Yuan Qingzhang's eyes flickering under the jumping candlelight, but suddenly he felt a sense of panic that he was being targeted by evil things in the abyss.This feeling was very bad, and the arrogance and righteousness just now shrank back under the pressure of this look.

Chen Ling finally bid farewell to the old shopkeeper, and when he turned around, he saw Lin Si shrinking aside like a quail, with an awkward look of being unconvinced but forced to accept.

"Why are you two arguing again? I really don't know where the two of you got so angry." Chen Ling sent Lin Si away, but this time Lin Si didn't seem reluctant. Instead, he left quickly.This made Chen Ling surprised, and looked at Yuan Qingzhang with rounded eyes, "What's wrong with him? He looks like a cat with its tail burned!?"

"You don't need to worry about him, I understand, this is a guy who wants to open a dyeing workshop if you give him some color. You just treat him too well, so that you will let them lose their sense of propriety." Yuan Qingzhang The haze in the eyeballs was swept away by the flapping of the eyelashes like the tide, and it was covered with sweet and warm colors again.This tenderness blooms only for him alone.

The room is fairly elegantly furnished, without any rich decorations, and there are no jade crystals to show off the style.On the long table next to the window is a white beauty vase with a thin neck, and a few seasonal winter jasmine flowers are scattered here and there.The tender yellow flowers are small and small on the thin branches, and the green leaves spread next to it well set off the liveliness and freshness of the winter jasmine.

The pea-green window screens are pasted with thin slices of window grilles that everything goes well, and the plain window sash is opened a little, revealing a tree of crabapple trees outside.A few small lanterns were hung on the crabapple flowers, and the warm lights made the pink crabapple flowers glow a soft orange.There is a night breeze blowing the flowers of crabapple flowers gently, and the wind that comes in brings a fragrance of flowers and trees.

Chen Ling leaned lazily on the low couch next to the window pane, looking far into the quiet and dark night, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't seem to think about anything.It took a while before he spoke softly, "Do you believe what they said?"

Yuan Qingzhang only felt that his muscles and bones softened involuntarily when he leaned on Ah Ling's body. When his chin rested on his not-so-broad shoulders, he felt that even time slowed down.Such a boring and quiet night seemed to have become unusual, and a soothing fragrance could be smelled in the air.

Hearing Chen Ling's words, his eyes blinked a few times tiredly and slowly, and after a long while he hummed softly, "Believe it five percent or not." The one who took a few steps forward and Chen Ling were just short of having a frank meeting with each other.

"These people are used to watching people order dishes, and they always curry favor with anyone who has a history. Besides, how can they hear what the Wang family looks like? If we want to know why, we have to Just go and see for yourself." Yuan Qingzhang squinted his eyes and hummed inarticulately, I don't know why he used to be a radiant person who stayed up all day without sleep, but now he appeared for a long time by relying on him. sleepy.

Simply Chen Ling was also tired, so Yuan Qingzhang pulled him down on the bed.The buckwheat husk pillow made a soft rustling sound when he turned his head while sleeping on it, and it sounded like a drum beating in his ears.A scalding body was tightly attached behind him, and the boiling heat burned into the atrium of his heart.

Chen Ling's fingers seemed to be licked by the temperature until they were blushing shyly, which made him uncomfortably close his fingers to his chest and curl them up tightly.He has never been so intimate with others before, and slept together like this, only when he was with his master when he was a child.

After silently reciting the heart-clearing mantra several times, he barely suppressed the restlessness in his heart, but his head was completely awake and he couldn't fall asleep at all.With a little movement, Yuan Qingzhang, who is stuck behind him, will find the best angle to stick it up, and will always put his chest against his back, hugging them together.

After trying a few times, Chen Ling stopped torturing himself, and just closed his eyes and slowly thought about something.

The "mask" who guarded him told him what happened in Hongzhou in his previous life.He was a bit hypocritical at that time, he liked beauties, he liked all beautiful things, such a voice like an old raven is really not what he likes anymore.But at that time, apart from him, no one else would come back to talk to him. He was afraid that one day he would become a soulless shell in such endless silence, and he wished he could say more.Among them, this was the one thing he had been begging for a long time.

The reason why I like it is that apart from the fact that the life in the tower is too calm, it is because this matter is so bizarre that people can't help but want to explore it.

It is true that Wang Shouying is a rare hero, but he is not a real hero after all, and he does not have the same foresight and reason as a hero.He controlled the Wang family for five or six years, and one of the most criticized things he did was to isolate the Wang family and his in-laws who made friends with him from Hongzhou, and built a "cloud city" by himself.Claiming that he is the incarnation of the God of Bodhisattva believed by Hongzhou people, all the sufferings in the past were just honed for self-certification of the golden body. Now all the sufferings have passed, and he is the incarnation of the God of Bodhisattva. Sincerely worship.In this way, the generals of the family were asked to search for beautiful women to serve the daily life of Bodhisattva.

After that, slaves were recruited to build the Bodhisattva Hall, in which more than [-] gold and silver were squandered, which took five years.Before he could live in, the imperial army had already arrived. After Wang Shouying and the ignorant and fanatical believers were wiped out, the Puyi Temple was completely demolished, and all the scattered gold, silver and jade beads were returned. The imperial court gained some prestige.

But he always felt that there was something hidden in it.After this incident happened, the guards guarding him changed from being cold and unkind in the past, and showed good feelings towards him as a prisoner. The "mask" is no longer the cold and treacherous in the past, and there is a little bit of warmth in the eyes.

But before he knew the reason, he jumped off the tower and returned to the past.

This time, he wanted to take the initiative to come to Hongzhou to have a look. He had a hunch that there might be clues to find out the truth behind this incident.

It was very late at night, even the loudest magpies had closed their eyes and rested silently, and the entire inn had no sound or lights.

Tong Yue put his hands in his sleeves, and the glib and wretched look at the banquet just now was replaced by a dignified solemnity, and a little serious tension was hidden in a pair of small eyes.

He worked as a spy for three years, spent so many years in this inn, and finally waited until the clouds opened to see the moonlight.This time, finally, a big man came from above, and he wanted to come and give him the task in person.

Tong Yue's heart tightened tightly and he squeezed his fist tightly, and he still had time to stomp his feet on the spot to slow down the excitement in his heart, when he heard a sound like running water, he raised his eyes and saw that Cai was still empty A person stood silently under the shade of a tree.

The man was wearing a long black cloak, covering his whole body tightly, blending into the darkness under the shade of the trees.If it weren't for the night wind blowing the corners of the cloak and stirring up the ripples of the running water, Tong Yue might really not be able to see that there was someone standing there.

Tong Yue hurriedly suppressed the excitement on his face, trying calmly and sophisticatedly to let this big man see his experience in a remote place with peace of mind for so many years, if he can reach the sky in one fell swoop, that would be the best.

"My lord, the Wang family has been closely mingled with the people from the Night Tour Palace. The girl from the city is obviously being used as a bed maid for the Wang family and the Night Tour Palace, but secretly, she has been used as a bed maid. Secretly sent all the way to Shengjing. Now the group of people on Guanyin Mountain have been boiled into the best human skin monsters, and they will be released by Yeyou Palace soon." Tong Yue's pair of thin In his eyes, there was a flash of solemnity.As a spy, he has more or less killed a few people in his hands, and he is not a cowardly person, but this way of not taking human lives as his life still makes him feel a little timid.

The man in the cloak didn't interrupt Tong Yue's rambling talk, and remained silent all the time, raising his head slightly, not knowing what he was looking at.When Tong Yue really ran out of words, he interrupted him with a quick wave of his hand.

Tong Yue swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and slowly swallowed back the flattering words pretending to be honest, lowered his head and blinked his eyes twice, not daring to have any more tricky thoughts, as if sitting on pins and needles, waiting for the man to speak.

From the alley behind the inn came the drawn-out voice of the watchman beating the watchman. In this silent night, it was as sharp as a night owl.The cloaked man who came suddenly was still silent, the tree above the head was just in bloom, and two soft petals slowly fell down, sliding down on the man's lightly moving cloak. land.

Tong Yue quietly followed his line of sight, but only saw a half-open window, and it was so dark that there was nothing worth noting.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Tong Yue's feet were almost numb before he heard a hoarse and low voice floating along the wind.

"You are the spy who has been in Hongzhou for the longest time in the palace. No one can understand the troubles here better than you. The palace master knows your hard work, so he specially asked me to bring a message this time, so that you can take care of this time. Get the errands done, and when you finish this matter, I'll transfer you to the main altar." The man's voice was like a leaking organ, with a strange rhythm after a long time. Yes, there is a feeling of drowsiness.

Tong Yue shook his head, took a deep breath, threw out all the confusion in his head, and said to the man in black with bright eyes: "Thank you for your kind words, I will definitely do my best, please give me your instructions."

The man in black took two steps forward slowly, the cloak on his body was as smooth as flowing water, like the flowing night, slowly spreading out the black mist, just when Tong Yue thought he was going to give something, But I saw the man in black slowly stretching out his hand, the hand in the black velvet glove stretched out in the air, just in time to catch a fallen flower.

The flower is small in shape, with some transparent goose-yellow petals, leaning timidly on the palm of the glove, as if there is still a sweet fragrance left on it.The man in black who was completely covered up seemed to be bewitched by the fragrance of the flower, and his cheeks were slightly exposed, and the iron silver light refracted a faint silver light in the faint light.

Tong Yue lowered his head and cast a sneaky glance at the man in black. The aura of this man is not an ordinary person. He is just wearing a big cloak that can't be seen clearly. Why even his face is deliberately Put on a mask.Could it be that his face is too shocking, or there is some unspeakable hidden disease on his body, which is why he has to cover it up layer by layer.

Take another look at the flower in the palm of your hand, it's nothing more than an ordinary winter jasmine flower, is there anything special about it?Could it be that the high-ranking figures are different from ordinary people like them, and can see some hidden secrets in it?

Tong Yue was thinking wildly here, but the people over there had carefully put away the winter jasmine flowers in their palms, and regained their immobile appearance, and said lightly to Tong Yue: "Your role is to protect a person , when he has any difficulties, you need to use all means to help him. It is best not to show your feet. Someone will tell you who you want to protect tomorrow. After the matter is done, you can leave here." After the confession was over, the man in black turned around and left without stopping.

The wide cloak unfolded the wide bat wings like bird feathers in the night with the light and nimble movement. Tong Yue looked enviously at the man who suddenly couldn't see the figure, and looked at his fat and round body with a sigh In terms of body, if he wants to have such a handsome kung fu, it is only possible to wait until his fat body loses weight.

It's just that this fat body has been with him for many years, and he already has feelings for him. If he wants to lose weight, it's not easy!

Tong Yue shook his head and sighed, and walked away with three steps. Under the ambiguous light and shadow, he could see a squat figure rolling away very lively.

The thin night wind blows the branches of Begonia flowers, and the blooming flowers on the branches are covered with fine dew, which is reflected by the bright light of the suddenly brightened candle in the pane.

Chen Ling pinched the edge of the desk tightly with his fingers, so hard that his finger bones turned white, and the thin pajamas on his body couldn't hide the trembling all over his body.A string of black jade beads hanging on the wrist also made a thin crisp sound following the rustling collision.

Yuan Qingzhang lit a candle, turned around and found a piece of clothing to put on for him, his thick black eyebrows were tightly knit together, he looked at him worriedly, put his hands on Chen Ling's body comfortingly, and lowered his voice Said: "What's the matter, what happened? Or is there something wrong with the sentence just now?"

He knew that Ah Ling only cared about one thing now, and that was the cause of his father's death.Just now in the middle of the night, someone delivered a message in the middle of the night, and the news about Yeyou Palace and another palace lord revealed in the words made him very concerned.But before he had any clear thoughts, he saw A-Ling walk to the window quietly with particularly cold and sullen eyes, and squeezed his fingers on the desk more and more tightly.He didn't want to do anything, for fear of disturbing the two people who were whispering outside, he could only stand behind him worriedly and gently follow his shoulders, waiting for everyone to leave, and then immediately lit the lamp to comfort him .

The muscles on Chen Ling's cheeks trembled twice, and after a while he gritted his teeth and tried his best to squeeze his throat, so as not to let the turbulent anger in his cavity come out all at once.

"I will never forget that person just now! It's him...it's him!" Chen Ling's eyes were tearing apart, and he wanted to speak out, but that happened in his previous life. In this life, he's fine Yes, this person has never had any contact with him, and he has been cultivating in the sect before, how could he know such a person.

Chen Ling hammered the table with hatred, and the bloody anger could only be suppressed in his heart. After a long panting, he said angrily: "This person... used to be one of the spies who sneaked into the sect. , he killed one of my best friends in the sect. Even if I was turned into ashes with that voice, I will never forget it!"

Chen Ling collapsed into Yuan Qingzhang's arms, his beautiful face revealed full of fear, "This enmity is irreconcilable, as long as I live, I will never die with him!"

Yuan Qingzhang patted him on the shoulder distressedly, and softly comforted him patiently all the time: "Okay, okay, those who have enemies with us, we will definitely let him die! It's late at night, you I haven't had a good rest during the day, and now I should rest more. There is no rush for this matter, you should rest for now, and wait until tomorrow, when you have recovered enough energy, it is not too late to make plans!" It was to coax Chen Ling to sleep.Watching him fall asleep all the time, he frowned inquiringly. His reaction just now was by no means the usual demeanor of seeing the sect's secretive enemy.Rather, it was like seeing an enemy who took people's lives.

There must be a reason for this, it's just that A-Ling refrained from opening his mouth in such a state of confusion just now, presumably it must be some kind of long-lasting scar.If you want to know the reason, you still have to wait for a while, calm down slowly, and open up the knot in your heart.

Yuan Qingzhang's heart slowly
