The two young men sat side by side on the edge of the muddy lake as if they had met by chance many years ago, not worrying about the mud staining their clothes.

"A princess?" said a flirtatious smile on his handsome face. Then he plunged his legs into the lake. Instead of wetting his legs as he had imagined, the lake squeezed in both directions in a very strange way. Not even the boots were wet.

Ye Yang Shiyi, who was sitting next to him, didn't feel strange, he seemed to respond inadvertently.

Then a few hints of gloom were revealed in the sight of the old sun.

"You like her. ”

"How do you know?" a few traces of gloom existed, and there was a bit of unruliness in his sight.

"If you don't like it, you'll answer, oh, whatever you want. Lin Ji's eyes showed a glimmer of pure light. Staying together for too long, Lin Ji knew that there were some habits that would never be broken.

"So what. It's just a little more painful. Ye Yang Shiyi, who was interspersed by Lin Ji, was not annoyed, but looked at the huge Yiyang Lake with self-deprecation and sighed.

"Politics has never been about love, and you should have known it for a long time. So there's no need to be upset. “

"It's not love that I'm sad about. “

"What's that?"

"It's my life. “

"You're different from me. “

"Of course I'm different from you. “

"If possible, I want to be born in a very ordinary family, when I was a child, I would be sad and happy for small toys, and when I grew up, I would be able to work for firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and I would be surprised and envious when I saw a lot of silver, and I would be surprised and envious when I saw the vast amount of spiritual powers of cultivators. Then find someone you like to marry, and then grow old together, how good it is. Ye Yang Shiyi's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, only he could hear it.

"No one will be satisfied with the status quo, just like you are now, do you want to know that your identity is now envied by the whole world?"

Lin Ji was not convinced by his point of view, so he simply took the time to teach him a lesson.

"My father said I was born with a family on my shoulders, and when I was a kid I felt as if he was wrong. But now I believe it, and the reason why he said that he didn't want me to have too much pressure until now I know that there is actually a whole country on my shoulders. ”

"You know, you can't change that fact anyway, so accept it. Lin Ji stood up on the surface of the lake, and did not fall into the lake like ordinary people, but stood firmly on the surface of the lake.

"Make a deal? you represent the Ye Yang family. Lin Ji turned around suddenly, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he looked at this best friend who could be said to be his most trusted friend.

"What deal?"

"A deal about peace. “

"Who do you represent?"

"Of course I represent Canghai City. “

"Oh, Canghai City may not have had a good time lately. Of course, Ye Yang Eleven could see through the dangerous situation in Canghai City, so he couldn't help frowning after Lin Ji finished saying the word transaction.

"I'm ready to stand up to the world. All I need you to do is help me when I need it, or if you don't fall into the trap. Lin Ji took a deep breath, and his tone was extremely confident.

"It seems to be a good deal for the Ye Yang family?"

"Of course, there are good things that I have to think of my friends. Lin Jitian shamelessly reunited.

"You have to know that the Ye Yang family is not my final say. Ye Yang Eleven returned to his proper state and said thoughtfully.

"You have to have faith in me, if one day the war spreads to Northern Qin and the Ye Yang family, it must be after you take charge of the Ye Yang family at that time. Canghai City will not die, so neither will the Ye Yang family. “

"Why should I believe you? Ye Yang Eleven frowned.

"Ye Yang, in fact, you don't have to trust me, or I don't need your consent. It was originally simple. I just need to convince the people of the world of this. You know, it's not a hard thing for me to do. Lin Ji raised his head slightly, but he didn't look at Ye Yang Eleven.

"Are you threatening me?" Ye Yang Eleven's tone was stagnant, and his voice was slightly cold.

"Of course not, I'm talking about a fact. Our fates are inextricably linked in that restaurant, haven't you noticed?"

"Sometimes I think you're hateful, but then I think you're pitiful. Ye Yang Eleven's indifferent tone gradually disappeared. Said sympathetically.

"I'll admit it, but how can I say it?"

"Your pity lies in the fact that everyone thinks you are not easy, but only your stubbornness is annoying. “

"Ye Yang, if one day you are like me, maybe you won't say that. “

"So, good luck?" Ye Yang Shiyi turned around and walked towards Qin Cheng without looking back.

"Good luck with that, too. Lin Ji looked at Ye Yang Eleven's back as he gradually moved away, and said in a low voice.

In the eyes of Ye Yang Eleven's two guards, this sentence was completely a greeting before leaving, but only Ye Yang Eleven and Lin Ji knew in their hearts that this was really a deep blessing.

The rain was pouring down, the clouds were thick, and the night was as dark as ink.

This is the only town very close to the border, so the population is extremely depressed, and the dark town is empty, and the rain hits the wooden planks with a ticking sound, and I don't know which door is rustling in the wind.

It was so desolate and lonely, and if it weren't for the fact that there were lit lanterns swaying in the wind and rain at the entrance of the town's inn, people would have thought that they had entered a dead town where no one lived.

The sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the darkness of the night, and in the darkness of the night, a group of men and horses came to the town.

One of them stopped before entering the town, looked at the stone tablet with the town's name engraved on it, which had been broken in two, and sped up with a deep groan.

The riders led the horses under the eaves and, after carefully fastening them, pushed open the door of the inn.

In stark contrast to the desolation outside, there are many people sitting in the hall in a hazy way, there is a burning fireplace against the wall, the firelight jumps, illuminating the lobby warmly, the smell of inferior wine, tobacco, the smell of fried meat, the smell of sweat, the breath of the crowd gathering, so that the people who are rushing in the wind and rain suddenly feel a burst of warmth.

The room was shrouded in a cloud of buzzing conversations, and when a dozen strangers in clad robes pushed the door open, like a knife slashing in, the conversation suddenly disappeared, and the people at the tables looked warily at the newcomers.

The leader glanced at the people in the lobby, and his eyes were piercing.

Touching his aggressive eyes, most people unconsciously avoided it, and the voice of the voice sounded again, but the voice was much lower.

The skinny shopkeeper stepped forward to greet him: "There is a guest coming! ”

The leader walked to the counter: "Shopkeeper, how many rooms do you have here? ”

The shopkeeper, who was also dry and thin, showed a look of embarrassment: "This guest officer, there is a guest room, but someone has already moved in first." Guest officer, we are all guests, we are a century-old store, this windy and rainy weather, we can't drive people out. ”

Several people looked at each other, and the leader asked, "Who are the people who live there?"

"A few merchants from Zhongjing, and some people from other places, we can't figure out their identities. But it doesn't seem to be a bad person, so you can live in peace of mind, guest officer. Look, they're all drinking and chatting in the lobby!"

The chief groaned and made up his mind: "The shopkeeper, give us five rooms, and we will have ten people in all, and bring dinner to the guest rooms." ”

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute—Xiao Er! Take these guest officers upstairs to rest!"

The others followed the shopkeeper upstairs, but the leader sat alone at a table in the lobby, asked for a pot of wine, and rested by the fireplace. He took two sips of wine and suddenly felt warm all over.

Although he was alone with the cup, his sharp eyes kept looking around, carefully examining the people in the store.

Like most small-town inns, this inn also doubles as a tavern, and most of the people who sit are rustic local villagers, and one table is already drunk and asleep on the table, and of course it doesn't care too much if it's not a threat. There were also two skinny merchants, who would not be in danger, and most of the people were excluded, and the leader felt a little more relieved.
