When the dawn light shines through the thick night, illuminating the majestic high wall of the "Guang Closed Courtyard" in the east of Mingyue City, walking through the misty morning light, slowly walking in this place that has long been forgotten by the world.

Today's "Guang Closed Courtyard" is full of barren scenes. He rolled up his long sleeves, fearing that the flask hidden in his sleeve would be left behind. The refined moire boots stepped on the overgrown weeds all over the ground, and there was not a single sound of fragmentation, and the insects chirped one after another in the ears, and when they sniffed, the wind smelled of late autumn, and other than that, the eyes were full of desolation. Inadvertently, memories pull Bu Weilan into the glorious days that belonged to this ancient courtyard.

In the past, there was a group of warriors who were not afraid of death and life, they were known as the "Guardian of the Country" "Mingguang Armor", each of these warriors was personally selected by Yun Fan, led and trained by Yun Fan, and was only loyal to Yun Fan. Now Jing Xuan, who has left the kingdom of Shu and went to the imperial capital to serve as the commander of the guards in front of the Son of Heaven Palace, was once a member of this army.

Later, with Yun Fan's farewell, this army was integrated by Yun Chen into the establishment of the Hanjia Army, and served as the royal forbidden army together with the Hanjia Army. Since then, the original "Kokōin" has been replaced with "Hankofu". "Mingguang Armor" has always been arrogant, how can he be willing to be with the "Hanjia Army". It wasn't until after the "Heavenly Fire Tribulation" that after the provocation of people with intentions, the "Mingguang Armor", which was included in the royal forbidden army, launched a mutiny. It is known as the "change of bright light".

Although it was quickly suppressed by the major families and the royal family, it also indirectly created an opportunity for the first invasion of the Mexican Kingdom against the Shu Kingdom.

After that, there was no longer a "bright light armor" in the true sense. Because of the change of Mingguang, Guangyuan became the territory of the "Hanjia Army" for a long time, until the battle of Jingwei Pass, the old lord Yun Chen brought all the blue wolf cavalry and the Hanjia army to the battlefield. Bu Weilan couldn't remember how many people ended up alive and returned to the kingdom of Shu, but he knew that none of the most famous blue wolves in the country of Shu came back alive.

Later, the logistics officials who originally worked here were transferred out one after another due to the shortage of manpower in other government offices. After losing the care of the permanent staff, it became a deserted compound over time. Occasionally, some beggars or wild dogs wander here until the appearance of Lian Mu.

As the second commander of the "Mingguang Armor" who was personally appointed by Yun Chen after Yun Fan left, he was very competitive to bring this team that was not afraid of death and life into a Wangcheng bandit who could only drink wine and eat meat, fight and brawl, and have loose discipline. In the end, under the complaints and protests of the heads of the family, Yun Chen had no choice but to adapt and integrate the "Mingguang Armor".

After the First World War of Jingweiguan, it became a deserted house.

Although Lian Mu failed to maintain the glory of Mingguang Armor, he still has a lot of feelings for this army after all. Therefore, after escaping death in the battle of Jingweiguan, he returned to Mingyue City, and after seeing that this place had become a deserted house, Lian Mu moved his residence in, and made a plaque of "Guang Closed Courtyard", which was gradually forgotten by people to rename its original name. As a result, the "Guangkan Temple" is still the "Guang Closed Temple". For him, it has always been his home.

With a rooster crow, the sun rises in the east.

In the glow of thousands of zhang, Bu Weilan has quietly arrived in front of the door of the "Guang Closed Courtyard". Just as he was about to step into the gate of this abandoned courtyard and ancient mansion, a loud roar came from the deepest part of the "Light Courtyard", waking up the somewhat sleepy Bu Weilan directly from his memory.

Judging from the approximate direction of the sound source, Bu Weilan thought that the roar should have occurred near Lian Mu's residence, so he quickened his pace.

At this time, in the central square located in the depths of the Guangqi Courtyard, Lian Mu was opening his right leg, bending his left knee, and holding a dark black spear in his right hand, pointing directly at the eyebrows of the man in front of him:

"Come again!"

The man was dressed in a dark moire brocade robe, with purple willow leaves engraved between his sleeves, and his face like a knife was cold in the morning light. Under the eyebrows of the flying sword, in a pair of eyes full of murderous intent, Lian Muzheng was sweating profusely, holding a spear in his hand, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

The man said lightly: "Do you want to rest first?"

"No need!" Lian Mu clenched the spear in his hand, stared at the three-foot long knife in the man's hand, and lowered his body, waiting for the opportunity, ready to stab the spear in his hand at any time.

Don't move the crescent white jade on Lian Mu's waist.

Seeing Lian Mu's serious appearance, the man shrugged his shoulders, put the long knife sideways, and walked slowly around the square with Lian Mu. As the robe tattooed with purple willows swept in the first autumn breeze of the morning, Lian Mu seized the opportunity and stabbed the spear in his hand straight at the man in front of him like a dragon.

The man dodged the almost undodgable shot, and the next moment, the long knife bloomed on the barrel of the spear, which was a spark produced by the violent friction of the knife and gun. With Lian Mu's shout, the black spear faced the pressure of the long knife, and in Lian Mu's roar, if divine power poured in, it swept all the scenery in front of him with a thousand momentum. Seeing this, the man hurriedly retreated to dodge, and in an instant, the bluestone slab he had just stepped on with his front foot spread countless fine cracks under Lian Mu's spearhead.

"Amazing!" The man saw Lian Mu exert all his strength, so he exclaimed, "Then I'm not welcome!"

As soon as the man's words fell, the early morning wind swept up the autumn leaves of last night, wandering between him and Lian Mu, and at this moment, the "inch mang" slashed at the sharp tip of the spear that was piercing the man's eyebrows at a speed that was undetectable to the naked eye. The scattered sparks ignited the autumn leaves in the wind, and the loud roar echoed through the dilapidated mansion again, shaking the eardrums of Bu Weilan, who were watching from afar.

In the morning light and mist, the cold light passed through the ashes scattered in the wind, stirring up bursts of visible swords and guns, and finally after the sound of a burst of impact, the ground under the feet of the two began to crawl full of cracks, and at that time, the knife against the gun!

The bruised green tendons spread from their arms all the way to the corners of their eyebrows, and when they looked at each other, they concentrated all the strength of their bodies on one point, just seeking to kill with one blow! The bluestone slabs around them began to shatter irregularly at this moment, as if they had been hit hard by an invisible force in turn.

As Lian Mu shouted again, the black spear burst out with an irresistible might, like a thousand mountains of snow collapsing in an instant! Seeing that the situation was already unbearable, the man suddenly shook his wrist and gathered all his strength to pour the long knife in his hand.

The killing intent in the man's heart and the "inch" in his hand became one. He didn't intend to dodge this shot, and in the face of this knife, Lian Mu couldn't dodge. The man twisted the handle of the knife and slashed the "inch" against the spear and towards Lian Mu. Brilliant sparks bloomed with the fierce friction between the long knife and the barrel of the gun.

Hearing a fierce wind blowing in his ears, the man's eyes showed a threat like a lion and tiger roaring, and in an instant, it turned into a black cloud and enveloped Lian Mu's heart. The spear blade closed at a distance of half an inch from the center of the man's eyebrows, and the "inch mang" shaved off a few strands of Lian Mu's shoulder hair at this moment.

As the green silk scattered, the deafening roar immediately rose and fell in this barren ancient mansion. When Lian Mu looked back and saw the bluestone slab behind him, he couldn't help but feel awe.

That knife is fast and elegant!

Turn your mind into killing intent!

Although the blade of "Inch Mang" only cut off a few strands of Lian Mu's shoulder hair, the killing intent in the man's heart caused the bluestone slabs behind him to burst one after another, and none of them were complete! Time froze in that knife, and in the next moment, the entire atrium of the Guang Yuan turned into ruins with the killing intent in the man's heart!

In a flash of light, the man still chose to be merciful.

Lian Mu naturally saw it, so the cold sweat couldn't help flowing down his forehead. He sighed in his heart, if he was hit by the killing intent of this knife, would it be the same as the gravel behind him.

"Liu's Wind Knife, worthy of its name!" Looking at the shoulder hair that was shaved off by the man, as well as the ruins all over the ground, Lian Mu put away his spear: "I lost!"

"Concession. The man put the knife back into its sheath and waved his hands politely.

"Being able to fight with the eldest son of Liu Fengchen Liu, who is known as Liu's double master, although Lian lost, he was also convinced. Lian Mu shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the steps not far away, ready to sit down and continue with Liu Fengchen.

"Before we knew it, we had been here all night. Liu Fengchen raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and at this moment, Mingyue City was already dawning.

Last night, in the face of Liu Fengchen, the eldest son of the Liu family who suddenly came to visit him, Lian Mu suddenly decided to fight with this "first knife in the world" on a whim, and unknowingly fought all night. Being able to fight with Liu Fengchen is one of the things that Lian Mu has dreamed of for many years.

The two of them went back and forth all night, and Liu Fengchen was also tired, so he couldn't care about the dust scattered on the steps, temporarily put aside the inherent restraint of the children of the family, and sat on the ground, ready to talk to Lian Mu about business.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me. Lian Mu took out a linen cloth to wipe the spear in his hand, and he didn't beat around the bush, but seeing that Liu Fengchen didn't respond, he guessed, "You won't also come to test my attitude towards Yun Fan's return." ”

At this time, Liu Fengchen's eyes fell on the wall where Bu Weilan was hiding in the distance, and he seemed to have noticed that there was one more person here since just now, so he said lightly: "No, I just suddenly wanted to come to see you, so I came uninvited." ”

"It is a blessing for Lian Mu to be regarded as a friend by Liu Fengchen and Liu Gongzi, but if this is the case, Lian Mu will be very happy. Lian Mu smiled, "If there is anything that needs to be used by Lian Mu, Liu Gongzi just said it directly, there is no need to be so polite." ”

Liu Fengchen saw that Lian Mu saw through his intentions and didn't detour, and said directly, "I want to trouble you to help me kill someone." ”

"Kill whom?" Lian Mu looked curiously at the arrogant man in front of him, this was the first time he knew that he would also need help from others, and as soon as he came, he would let him kill for himself.

"Yun Fan. Liu Fengchen said coldly.

Between the words, a wisp of autumn wind rolled up the fallen leaves and drifted into the distance, Lian Mu was silent for a moment, and his eyes fell on the black spear in his hand, which was a spear carved with the cloud pattern of the Yun family crest on the neck of the gun, and the sun did not shine on it without a trace of light, as if it was swallowed up by it. Lian Mu didn't look at Liu Fengchen's eyes, and his tone was not mixed with any emotion, and asked, "Reason." ”

"Save the country. Liu Fengchen's tone was very affirmative, and his hand was carved like jade with the hilt of the knife, which didn't look like he was joking.

"He is the younger brother of the lord of Yun Ji, and now only Yun Fan can save the country, this will not be unknown to the eldest prince of Liu. Lian Mu reminded Liu Fengchen and said, "Could it be that Grand Prince Liu is no longer in love with the Lord of Yunji now?"

Liu Fengchen didn't speak, and it seemed that it was redundant to respond to Lian Mu's reminder with silence. Of course, he will not forget that Yun Ji and Yun Fan are sisters and brothers, but only one person can sit on the throne. Lian Mu immediately understood Liu Fengchen's true intention of asking him to kill Yun Fan in silence.

"Why are you looking for me to kill him, what will I get by killing him? Lian Mu asked the handsome man in front of him with a smile, "Don't you know that the gun in my hand used to be his usual weapon?"

Liu Fengchen: "I can rehabilitate the wronged Mingguang armor." ”

"What does Liu Gongzi mean?" Lian Mu frowned and Liu Fengchen, but saw that Liu Fengchen's gaze fell on the black spear: "Eight feet and three inches, black gold is tempered, and it is devoured when it encounters light, and the carver should be from the hands of the Ye family in the imperial capital, what is the name of this gun?"

"Heart-eroding. Lian Mu gently stroked the spine of the gun, as if stroking the love of his heart, his eyes were gentle and long.

"Why is this gun in your hands now? Liu Fengchen asked curiously. Lian Mu fell into reminiscences: "Back then, Yun Fan didn't take anything with him after he left, including this gun. Maybe whether it was this gun or our Mingguang armor, it was a burden to him at that time. It wasn't until later that the old lord Yun Chen ordered me to take over the Mingguang armor, and because this gun was previously held by Yun Fan, it was naturally used as a symbol of the Mingguang armor. ”

"Do you hate him. Liu Fengchen asked.

"Hate, of course hate! Hate him for not saying goodbye! Hate him for leaving him alone!" Lian Mu smiled bitterly, "However, this bright light armor is scattered in my hands after all, and it has nothing to do with him." ”

"Kill him, and I can give back the truth to Mingguang Armor. Liu Fengchen looked at Lian Mu seriously, Lian Mu frowned and asked: "If Yun Fan succeeds to the throne of the country, he can also return the truth to Mingguang Armor, isn't it? After all, this is the military system he established." ”

"You know better than I know what kind of person he is. If he really cared, he wouldn't have left in a hurry without explaining anything. Moreover, Yun Fan did not have any definite relevant evidence to be able to wash away the past that happened when he left. Liu Fengchen said this cruel thing indifferently, and his voice was not fast or slow, but it was like the tip of a knife piercing Lian Mu's heart, "For him, who now has the Chiyan Samurai and the Sabe barbarians, going to the trouble of rehabilitating a rebel army that has been forgotten by the people is just destroying the weak trust between him and the local family and some people who support him, which has not been completely severed. In fact, apart from you, no one will care what Mingguang Armor is and what it has done. The saddest thing in this world is that when everyone gradually forgets a past, only you still remember. Isn't it?"

"How did Liu Gongzi know about Mingguang Armor's past?" Lian Mu's gaze touched Liu Fengchen, but the gaze of the eldest prince of the Liu family was occupied by arrogance.

Liu Fengchen didn't answer Lian Mu's question, but said coldly: "I have my own way." ”

Lian Mu: "It's an old thing, how can the son be rehabilitated?"

Liu Fengchen: "Brother Lian just needs to tell me, kill or not." ”

After hearing this, Lian Mu had to remind Liu Fengchen again: "Kill Yun Fan, now these heavily armored warriors in the city will not obey the orders of the lord of the country because of Yun Fan's death, without them, only the 50,000 royal forbidden troops in the city will not be able to defend the last Bright Moon City of our long-cherished country." In the face of the righteousness of the family and the country, you have thought clearly. ”

"Yun Fan must die, but not now, there are still many places where he can be used. Liu Fengchen said lightly, the breeze ruffled his forehead, allowing the morning light to shine on his knife-like cheeks. Lian Mu turned his head to look at Liu Fengchen's eyes, but what was in his mind was the "change of bright light" a few years ago. That is the haze that will never linger in Lian Mu's heart. If it weren't for the fact that one day he could rehabilitate his brothers who died in grievances, Lian Mu would not have endured the humiliation and lived to this day.

Liu Fengchen saw this. That's right, in Lian Mu's heart, there is indeed nothing more important than rehabilitating Mingguang Armor, including his own life and integrity. After a long period of thought and silence, Lian Mu put away the spear in his hand and asked Liu Fengchen: "Liu Gongzi thinks so highly of me? With his martial arts with heavenly fangs, and when those Chiyan warriors and the six generals of the Sabu around him don't exist, just like me, really killed him?"

"The story of the Heavenly Tooth is just a legend. Based on my observation of Yun Fan at last night's banquet, it is concluded that this kid has not broken through in the realm of mortal martial arts for many years. Liu Fengchen continued, "Whether it is the knife in my hand or the knife in my heart, from the past to the present, Yun Fan can't catch it. And now that you are in the middle of the tenth order of mortal martial arts, you can fight with me, who has stepped into the peak of the tenth order, for a night of hard fighting, and you have a relationship. If you can't kill him, then no one can. ”

Liu Fengchen's eyes were a recognition of Lian Mu.

But between the words, this Liu Dagongzi didn't mention to Lian Mu at all that at last night's banquet, the blonde woman sitting next to Yun Fan was able to look directly into his eyes full of murderous intent, and resolve the matter of the wind knife with a smile. I don't know if he forgot about it, or if he did it on purpose.

"Your younger brother who shocked the universe with his air sword, what about Liu Feng's soul? He must have beaten him, no, he could kill him. Lian Mu seemed to be testing Liu Fengchen, but Liu Fengchen said coldly: "Although my younger brother is very talented, but after all these years, he is only at the peak of the ninth order. ”

"Really?" Lian Mu knew that Liu Fengchen was praising him for being better than Liu Fengsoul in disguise, but Lian Mu still had a number of pounds and taels for himself, and Liu Fengchen continued: "Not only that, but there is a very fatal flaw in Feng Soul's moves, once he is caught, he will definitely die." ”

Lian Mu: "What a fatal flaw. ”

Liu Fengchen: "Within ten steps, the wind knife is invulnerable, and ten steps away, the air knife is invincible, but the wind knife comes from the killing intent in the heart, and often moves with the heart, and the air knife is because it comes from the true qi in the body, and there is always a time when the qi is exhausted." ”

Lian Mu: "If you tell me this, you won't be afraid ......"

Liu Fengchen: "Brother Lian is a friend and can be trusted." ”

"As a friend, Lian Mu suggested that Liu Dagongzi should do it himself and give Yun Fan a good time. Lian Mu teased inopportunely, Liu Fengchen smiled, "After all, I am the eldest son of the Liu family, the future head of the Liu family, kill him, I will become a sinner of the Liu family and even the country, the gains outweigh the losses, if it is not a big matter, Fengchen will not deliberately trouble Brother Lian to solve such a headache for me." ”

"Alas, so this kind of dirty and tiring work has fallen into the hands of people like me, since Liu Dagongzi is so affordable, let's try it. Lian Mu shrugged: "When does Young Master Liu need to pick a time to do it?"

"Soon Yun Ji will also give you new arrangements. Liu Fengchen patted the dust on his body, and the afterglow fell on the wall where Bu Weilan was hiding in the distance, and the brocade clothes wrapped under the purple willow robe were even more slim in the morning light, "When the time comes, I will come to you again." ”

"Done. Looking at Liu Fengchen's back as he walked away, Lian Mu suddenly said, "Say hello to Brother Ling Liu Fengsoul for me." ”

"Good. Liu Fengchen said lightly, and when he was about to leave the gate of Guangqian Courtyard, he glanced at Bu Weilan, who had been hiding by the door wall. Bu Weilan saw that he had been discovered, so he waved his hand at Liu Fengchen and gave way, and then watched Liu Fengchen leave. Lian Mu's gaze gradually drifted away here, and he should have been dragged into the abyss of memories between the words. After a long time, he said, "Come out." ”

As Lian Mu's loud voice spread from the depths of the "Guang Courtyard" to the distance, Bu Weilan smiled and waved his hands in the morning light and slowly walked towards Lian Mu: "It's been a long time, Lian Gongzi." ”

"How long has Brother Weilan been here? Lian Mu looked at the direction in which Liu Fengchen disappeared thoughtfully, "I should have heard the conversation with Liu Dagongzi, Brother Weilan should have heard it." ”

"Shortly after arriving. Bu Weilan smiled. "Basically, though, the point is heard. ”

"What does Brother Weilan think about this matter. Lian Mu looked at Bu Weilan curiously, and Bu Weilan smiled: "At present, the armies of the Xia Kingdom and the Mo State have retreated, and as soon as Yun Fan dies, let's put aside whether the Chiyan warriors and the Sabu barbarians will make trouble for Yun Fan's revenge, but the lord of the country will still be the lord of the country, according to tradition, she will marry the eldest son of the Liu family, and the Liu family will become the actual ruler of the Su country." ”

Lian Mu asked, "Does Brother Weilan believe in love?"

Bu Weilan: "Weilan only has his family and country in his heart. ”

Lian Mu asked: "You say, this Liu Fengchen, the eldest prince of Liu, really has the ability to rehabilitate Mingguang Armor?"

Bu Weilan: "The mother of the lord of Yunji is the sister of Liu Su, the current head of the Liu family, who died in the light of the change. In fact, the truth is not important to outsiders, what matters is that Liu is willing to turn the page of this past. ”

Lian Mu looked at the autumn leaves drifting in the wind, and his thoughts drifted away.

After a long time, Lian Mu stretched his waist and said, "Forget it, I don't want to, I have a headache!"

"Then take a few sips to nourish your heart. Seeing this, Bu Weilan took out the wine jug from his sleeve and threw it into Lian Mu's arms, Lian Mu caught the wine jug and asked with a smile: "Brother Weilan is also suddenly worried about it, so he came early?"

"No, no, no. Bu Weilan smiled and said, "Naturally, there is something important." ”

Lian Mu greeted Bu Weilan with a smile on his face, and felt that he had bad intentions, so he raised the spear of "Eclipse Sun" and pointed at Bu Weilan: "If there is something, talk about it first!"

Bu Weilan saw that Lian Mu was a little resistant, so he cleared his throat solemnly and said, "Cough cough, cough cough, Lian Mu listens to the order!"

As soon as Lian Mu heard that the lord of the country had something to say to him, he immediately ignored the dust on the ground and knelt down in front of Bu Weilan. Bu Weilan continued: "Passing on the word of the lord of the country, from now on, Feng Lian Mu will be the commander of the frost sword forbidden service to protect the peace of the bright moon. ”

Lian Mu was stunned when he heard this, feeling like he was in a dream, Bu Weilan frowned and asked, "Commander Lian, why don't you hurry up and thank you?"

Under Bu Weilan's urging, Lian Mu hurriedly bowed to Xie Ling's message, and then looked at Bu Weilan with a puzzled expression: "Why?"

"Are you happy, Commander Lian?" Bu Weilan patted Lian Mu on the shoulder, and Lian Mu asked, "What does the lord of the country mean?"

"Otherwise?" Lian Mu's words made Bu Weilan laugh, Bu Weilan took his sign and said seriously: "Lian Da Commander is a smart person, if there is any wind and grass in Mingyue City in the future, the country is mainly asking about the commander, don't ask three questions." ”

"Why do the forbidden army still have to care about this now?" Lian Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at Bu Weilan suspiciously, Bu Weilan clenched Lian Mu's hand: "The forbidden army can't control these things, but Lian Commander can manage it." In the future, he will be an official in the same dynasty, and he will rely on the incorruptible commander to take care of him. ”

Since Yun Chen brought the Blue Wolf Cavalry and the Cold Armor Army to the front line, some of the people who are now responsible for the garrison of the forbidden army in the royal city are newly promoted newcomers, and some are the old people of Mingguang Armor who did not participate in the "Mingguang Change" back then.

“......”

In the face of such a surprise falling from the sky, Lian Mu, who has always been smart, didn't know how to respond to Bu Weilan's enthusiasm for a while. Although every time he chatted with Bu Weilan, Lian Mu always felt that these people in the palace liked to talk upright, but Bu Weilan took care of him, and he still saw it in his eyes.

Lian Mu's eyes inadvertently fell on the old tree branches in the courtyard gate in the distance, the early birds returned to their nests at this time, and the time seemed to return to the days of the light courtyard that year, and many old friends got up early and exercised in the morning...
