Theism

In the sky outside the window, the rain was still falling sparingly, falling from the darkness, approaching the ground, and becoming transparent little by little.

There was an old lantern hanging in the corner of the eaves. When the wind and rain hit, it swayed spinelessly. The fire inside was flickering, which made people worry that it would go out.

"Quick! Grab him!" The man in black jumped down without hesitation. Rainwater had accumulated in the mud, making it extremely muddy and difficult to step on, leaving obvious footprints.

"Boom!" The sky was covered with overcast clouds, and there was a faint tendency of thunder.

"Crack!" With a sound, a bright lightning cracked down, like the roots of a tree, involving a large area of ​​the sky, and the gorgeous blue-purple was clearly reflected in everyone's eyes.

Not far from the inn, a figure stood. He was dressed in white clothes, but at this moment he was drenched all over. The corners of the white clothes had long been mixed with sewage and sand, and the shoes were also full of stains.

His expression was full of sternness, and the eyes that were originally full of gentle smiles now only radiated endless coldness and dead silence. The sharp sword in his hand flashed coldly, and the silvery white color was flying in the night sky.

"Tick tock! Tick tock!" There is the sound of water dripping, is it raindrops?

No.

The scarlet and sticky blood beads merged into a blood flow, which fell to the ground non-stop, and soon the heavy rain washed away the sword.

But Ji Guangfan threw it away casually, and with a bang, he threw the sword beside a dead man in black. It originally belonged to him, so it was considered to be returned to its original owner.

The secluded wilderness, the noisy rainy night, the muddy land was dirty and messy, and the dark brown land, because of the bloody moisture, the color became extraordinarily deep.

"Squeak..." This old wooden door is not good, every time the door is opened, it will make a sound like piercing eardrums.

"Kang Dang." Ji Guangfan turned around and closed the wooden door forcefully.

"Huh? Uncle, is that you?" Zhu Lianyu was awakened by the sound of the door being pushed, rubbed her eyes, and looked towards the door in a little confusion.

"I woke you up. It's nothing. Go on to sleep." Ji Guangfan looked over there, and instead of approaching, he walked to the table and opened the bag he was carrying.

He turned out a suit of clothes from the inside, and changed the wet clothes on his body.

They usually only bring a few sets of clothes, and buy the rest ready-made from other places. After changing the wet clothes, they throw them aside and wait until dawn to undress them.

He didn't have such an easy-to-use fire Qi as Qi Shangxiang. Not only could he easily kill people and burn corpses, but he could also roast his clothes to keep warm from the cold.

"Uncle, did you go out in the middle of the night last night?" Zhu Lianyu stretched, with sleepy eyes open.

"Well, people have three urgencies." Ji Guangfan said without any guilt, "You're about to wash up, let's go eat."

"Okay." Zhu Lianyu washed up next to her.

On the first floor of the inn, Zhu Lianyu concentrated on eating noodles, and Ji Guangfan also immersed himself in eating.

"Master, when are we leaving?" Zhu Lianyu swallowed a mouthful of noodles.

"Leave after eating." Ji Guangfan said, taking another mouthful of noodles.

The two got on their horses, Ji Guangfan pulled the reins and walked forward unsteadily.

"Hey, uncle, do you smell anything?" Zhu Lianyu turned her head and asked, "It smells like blood."

"No." Ji Guangfan said bluntly, Zhu Lianyu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by him, "Sit down, we have to speed up."

With a turn of the horse's hooves, it left the bloody place and ran towards the distance.

"I warn you, it's best to tell me everything that happened that day, otherwise, it's hard to imagine what I'll do." Su Xuenian tugged at the collar of the man in front of him, his face full of impatience and cruelty. severe.

"I told you, I don't know anything." Guangjiana smiled arrogantly, not caring about being grabbed by his collar.

"I don't have time to waste with you, so be serious." Su Xuenian was annoyed seeing his smiling face, and punched him. His face, which was originally fair, was now covered with bruises.

"Why, you're in a hurry, it's useless to be in a hurry!" Guang Jiana saw that he was in a hurry, and smiled more happily, his eyes were full of complacency.

Su Xuenian pulled his collar and moved closer to him, almost pressing her cheek against his neck.

And Guangjiana also stopped at this moment, a little surprised by his sudden action, but for some reason, his heartbeat accelerated at this moment.

Su Xuenian didn't move, but sighed, and his warm breath touched Guangjiana's neck, and he couldn't help but tremble a little.

"I'm no longer number one in Zixue Palace, you don't need to compete with me anymore." Su Xue said lightly, with a helpless sigh hidden in her words.

"What?" Guangjiana was a little stunned when he heard this, "What do you mean no longer?"

"The palace card is broken." Su Xuenian didn't explain further, and let go of his collar, "You go."

"Broken? Who? Who did it?" Guang Jiana was shocked at this time, looking at Su Xuenian who was a little lonely in front of him.

"It has nothing to do with you." Su Xuenian didn't want to say any more, and went out directly.

"Why is it nothing to do with me? Didn't you ask me just now? Why didn't you ask?" Guangjiana didn't let him go, and hurriedly followed.

"Since you don't tell me, I can go find someone else. There's no need to waste time with you." Su Xuenian could see it very clearly. If he jumped out when he was checking, he wouldn't have found him. .

"Hey, I won't tell whoever said it, maybe you will tell me if you ask me again." Guangjiana continued to pester.

Su Xuenian heard the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and when she turned around, her expression returned to impatience.

"Tell me, what information do you have?" Su Xuenian said casually, as if she didn't believe that he would have any useful information.

"King Jing's death was due to the mutiny of his subordinates." Guang Jiana summed up all the reasons in one sentence.

"Huh?" Listening to the reason, Su Xuenian didn't know whether it was unexpected or reasonable.

"It's as simple as that. His subordinates were instigated by the second prince's party and planned to blame the prince." Guangjiana leaned against the wall and said with a playful smile.

"Follow me." Hearing this explanation, Su Xuenian didn't let go, but directly pulled him past and walked in one direction

Zuimenglou

"This is where you want to bring me?" Guangjiana looked at the famous pavilion in front of him, showing a subtle expression.

"That's right, it's a good place." Su Xuenian said and walked in first.

"Hey, young master! You are here, please come inside!" The girl who was soliciting customers outside enthusiastically pulled him inside.

"Where's Tan Zi?" Su Xuenian asked while walking, not forgetting to give Guang Jiana a hand.

"Ah, Tan Zi, she is idle, I will let her come over immediately." The girl next to her said with a smile, and asked Guang Jiana again, "Where is that young master?"

"Which one do you like? Order one too." Su Xuenian turned around and asked, automatically ignoring his unattractive expression.

"No need." Guangjiana replied with a cold face.

"Oh, he doesn't need it." Su Xuenian didn't force her, and entered the room on her own.

The food and wine came out quickly, and Tan Zi also came in.

"Guest, you're here." Tan Zi came in, saw that it was Su Xuenian, and his smile became brighter again.

"Well, pour the wine." Su Xuenian sat down very familiarly.

"Okay." Tan Zi sat beside him, rolled up her sleeves to reveal her white arms, and poured wine for him gracefully.

"Tell me." Su Xuenian looked at Guangjiana, took a sip first, "Tell me what you know."

Guangjiana looked at him and narrowed his eyes slightly, without speaking, just stared at him.

"I heard that Zuimenglou has a wine called Zui Sheng Zui Shi, but it's a pity that I have been here so many times and I haven't tasted it yet." Su Xuenian took a sip of the wine, feeling a little emotional.

"Then I'll go get it for the young master. It's really good wine." Tan Zi smiled and got up, and walked outside.

"You can say it." Su Xuenian put down his wine glass and glanced at Guangjiana.

Guangjiana gave him a sideways glance, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Ying Xin under King Jing is a pawn that the second prince buried a long time ago, just to prevent him, but he didn't use it himself, but gave it to the prince again." Went to a rival."

After all, it was supposed to be the prince who was led to that room, but it turned out that it was someone else who went there. It was a waste of effort.

Su Xuenian listened carefully, and then relayed the words to Qi Shangxiang without revealing a word.

In the water mirror, Qi Shangxiao listened to his words in silence.

"So, that's how things are." Su Xuenian explained a little boringly, those things in the court were just that boring.

"I remember that I asked you to solve this matter instead of clarifying the truth to me here. These are meaningless to me." Qi Yanxiang said with a deadpan expression on his face. .

Su Xuenian was inexplicably annoyed when she heard it, but when she saw the expression of the person opposite, she swallowed all her complaints.

"I see, it will be resolved as soon as possible." Su Xuenian said and lowered her head.

Qi Shangxiao didn't speak any more, the mirror of the water broke and turned into wine again and dripped into the cup.

"What's the matter with you?" Guang Jiana looked at Su Xuenian who was suddenly silent, and felt a little inexplicable why he was suddenly quiet again now.

"It's okay." Su Xuenian stroked the wine glass.

"My lord, here's your wine." Tan Zi came in from the outside, holding a jar of wine.

Tan Zi opened the wine seal, and the aroma of the wine permeated in an instant. Su Xuenian didn't speak, but just raised his hand and poured a glass of wine.

Then he took a deep breath and let out a long sigh.

"It's not so good to be drunk!" Su Xuenian didn't drink any more after drinking a cup, stood up and was about to leave.

"My lord?" Tan Zi looked at it and prepared to keep it for a while.

Hearing that Su Xuenian pulled out the purse from his waist, he threw it back very comfortably, and threw it beside the wine glass.

"Let's go." Su Xuenian said, and left very coolly.

"Oh, my lord..." Tan Zi wanted to say that she didn't mean that, but the figure disappeared before he finished speaking.

Naturally, Guang Jiana picked up the pot of drunkenness on the table, and hurriedly chased it out.

"Su Xuenian!" When Guang Jiana chased him out, Su Xuenian had already gone a long way.

Naturally, Su Xuenian didn't want to pay attention to him, so she rushed forward with all her strength, and the direction was still right.

"Oh, did you hear that!" Guangjiana caught up and grabbed his sleeve.

He didn't know why Su Xuenian was acting like this suddenly, but he felt uncomfortable looking at him, and didn't want to see him with such an indifferent face.

"Why are you following me? You don't have anything to do now." Su Xuenian said very naturally, and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

"Okay, you Su Xuenian, you just throw it away when you're done using it!" Guang Jiana knew what Su Xuenian was up to at this time, and he followed his lead.

"Well, didn't I give you a jug of wine?" Su Xuenian shamelessly pointed to the jug of wine in Guangjiana's hand.

"You!" Guangjiana was a little speechless, looking at the wine in his hand.

"Don't fall, your reward, or you will lose everything." Su Xuenian said with a smile, then turned her head and left.

This time Guangjiana didn't chase anymore, looking at the wine in his hand, his heart was full of resentment.

Su Xuenian walked in front, thinking about Guang Jiana's reaction behind, smiled slightly. If he guessed correctly, Qi Shangxiang had already noticed his existence just now.

It's enough for him to enter the game by himself, without involving others.

On Qi Shangxiang's side, as he expected, she noticed Guang Jiana, but it was not an important person, so she didn't take it to heart.

Ahead is the ice field. After traveling on the road for these days, it is finally time to arrive.

The ice sheet was already full of ice two months ago, and now, the ice will only get thicker.

There was a thick layer of white snow, and some new snow was falling. When the wind blew, it rolled up the snow and ran away. It was blown everywhere, and there was nothing unexpected.

In a far away place, on the other side of the white snow, there are mountains all over, and the top mountains are all covered with falling snow, and the rolling snow mountains can be seen from a long distance.

Purple Snow Palace

"Palace Master." Jiang Sdie stood beside His Highness.

He knew a small path to enter the palace, and he could take a shortcut. Those who didn't know had no choice but to forcibly rush into the frozen river.

"Why are you back?" Yu Ran looked at the person in front of him.

Jiang Sdie said before that he would stay at home for a while, why did he come back so soon.

Jiang Sdie naturally knew her doubts, and said directly: "I have something to do, so I'll be back first."

"Where's my master?" Jiang Sdie asked.

"It's at the observatory." Yu Ran replied.

"Then I'll go and have a look." Jiang Sdie saw the Palace Master, and went to his own business.

Observatory

"Master, I'm back." Jiang Sdie called out standing outside the observatory.

"I'm back." Qing Ling turned around.

"Go and rest, I know all about those things." Qing Ling said, almost every step they will do, the astrology will tell her.

"Yes." Jiang Shuang came and left again. He knew that Master could know their actions through astrology, but he still wanted to see her.

Stars flow in the dark night, time keeps passing, traces in the world are mottled, there is nothing that can really hide, disappearing sound and disappearing traces is never so absolute, but human words are always biased.
