Pedestrians were in a hurry on the road, and the gloomy canopy signaled that rain was coming.

Summer rain often comes violently and urgently. Although it is said that it is fast, it is not a good thing to take shelter from the rain in such a quiet night.

At the foot of Jinxi Mountain, in an inn.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of the wind and rain outside, it is a harmonious and happy place.

It was a little hot inside the inn, but the doors and windows had been tightly closed for fear that the wind outside would roll the sand into the food. In this way, the scorching smell in the house becomes more and more intense.

Fortunately, the female guest had already gone upstairs early, and all the rougher people in the hall had already begun to shout with their bare arms.

The shopkeeper turned a blind eye and instructed the child to be ready to serve wine to the guests at any time, and continued to lie on the chaise longue behind the counter and take a nap.

In such a night, since he is destined to be unable to sleep, it is better to let them go, at least the wine money is indispensable to him, where can he care that the people upstairs have been so noisy that they can't sleep.

"Go downstairs and tell the shopkeeper, let the people below be quiet, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind." ”

In one room, someone was sitting by the window.

The wide open window blew in with a somewhat sultry wind, and the candles under the lampshade flickered and swayed, and the shadows reflected on the walls of the room were stretched and shortened, like an extremely distorted painting.

The door was pushed open and closed again, and the man in black sitting on the edge of the window continued to look at the road in the distance, but his ears listened carefully to the sounds in the next room.

Not listening, to be exact, but perceiving.

Above his finger was a thread as thin as a gossamer, and it was impossible to see it really without looking closely—of course, in such a dull summer night without moonlight, of course.

At the other end of the thread was a small worm, lying in the corner of the window of the next room.

But the strange thing is that in such a strong wind, the branches of the tree swayed, and the tips of the man's hair and clothes fluttered, but he could not shake the thin thread like spider silk.

Naturally, you can't blow the bugs in that little corner to an unknown place.

The silk thread that was pulling seemed to be engraved there, even if it was swept by the wind and clouds around it, but it did not move at all.

Listening to the fist-slicing frolic still coming from downstairs, and the sound of the person next door tossing and turning on the bed, the man in black flashed a trace of impatience in his eyes and looked at the door.

"Why? Don't you listen?"

The man said coldly.

Immediately afterwards, I saw that the person at the door pushed the door and froze.

"Huh?"

The man spoke again, although it was soft, but the feeling of coldness mixed in it made the people at the door feel like they were in winter.

Eventually, the man pushed the door in, and as soon as he entered, he knelt down towards the man in black.

"Young master, it's the incompetence of his subordinates. ”

"After going down for so long, you won't do nothing, will you?"

The man in black was still sitting by the window, but his face suddenly turned around, and the black and gold mask glowed with a mysterious color in the dim light.

But it also makes people feel more ruthless.

The subordinates sprinkled a little heart-eating powder in their drinks. ”

"Huh?"

The man's question lengthened his voice.

"The young master forgives the sin, now that Emperor Jin has noticed the matter in Xishan, his subordinates are thinking that they can't cause trouble again, so they only used a little heart-eating powder and didn't release heart-eating worms. ”

As if he was afraid that the man in black would blame, the man further explained:

"You know, when the amount of Hearteater is small, although it can't be deadly, but it is also the same as the effect of Hearteater, it can make those people miserable, but there is no problem in hindsight, although these people are indeed very ineffective these days, but now is not the time to ......"

"When will it be your turn to talk to me about this?"

The man stretched out his right hand in front of him, looking at the lines on his hand, a smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and the outline of the knife and axe was dark and bright under the light, like a masterpiece carved out.

"The young master forgives the sins, the young master forgives the sins, the small ones deserve to die, the small ones make their own claims, and the little ones will go down and ...... those people"

Seeing this, the man's face showed a panic that bordered on despair, and he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

However, the expected pain did not strike, only the wind outside the window whirred, and even swept into a small piece of sand and smashed it on his face.

Along with this, there are a few words that are playful and playful:

"However, this time, it was a brain. ”

The man kneeling on the ground did not seem to hear clearly, and looked up with a little bewilderment, looking at the Lord who almost blended in with the background outside the house, and his face was full of disbelief.

I have always hated the young master who made his own decisions and would not show mercy to his subordinates, but this time, he actually let himself go?

It seems that when he went out, the master's advice was good, and he must not disobey the young master's decision in major matters, but in the small things that affect the overall situation, as long as he figured out the meaning of the young master, he could also have a way to live.

He chose the latter among the dozens of murders and those people who taught him a lesson, did he also guess the young master's affection for the girl next door?

But that girl is clearly the person next to the one in the palace, and the young master hates being coerced the most in his life, so how can he take the initiative to take into account that girl's feelings......

"Staring downstairs, if anyone doesn't have a long memory, then you don't have to be polite. ”

The man turned his head and looked out the window, but there was still no one in the dark night.

"Yes, yes, my subordinates will go. ”

The man nodded and retreated with joy in his heart, and just as he was about to close the door, he heard the same cool voice as when he came:

"Father told you something before he went out, don't think I don't know. Guess with me once or twice, maybe I don't care about your brains, but if you are self-righteous again and again, then don't blame me for not caring who you are. Anyway, around my father, there are people who want to climb up, and there are a few who die outside, I am afraid that they will be happier. ”

"The subordinates will definitely obey the orders of the young master, and they will never dare to have two hearts!"

"It's good to understand. ”

The man in black didn't look back, but his gaze fell on the silk thread: "Go down." ”

The door was closed again, and the lights were still fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, a light flashed in the sky, followed by a sound like a landslide, and heavy rain poured down.

Not far away, on the road, a figure also appeared closer and closer.

The man in black smiled again:

"It's finally here. ”

The night is deep, in the wind and rain, a faint flute sound is like Hsinchu after the rain out of the soil, at first glance it sounds leisurely and fresh, it seems to make people feel like a spring breeze, a tiredness, but then it is an unknown stormy waves.

At the same time, the woman who was sleeping in the next room also opened her eyes at this moment. (To be continued.) )
