The afternoon is very pleasant. Lying on the Taishi chair, quietly enjoying a gentle sunbath, holding a cup of warm water soaked in a few wolfberries, this is probably the life that middle-aged people in Blue Star dream of.

Oh, and maybe add a thick head of hair.

Lin Xiuyuan, who had entered the middle-aged life in advance, and Wuji were lying side by side on rocking chairs, holding a cup of Cangwu special tea, leisurely basking in the sun.

"Time flies... It's been three months. ”

Lin Xiuyuan carefully took a sip of the hot tea in the cup, licked his lips, and looked up at the gradually setting sun.

"yes... It's only been three months, and it feels like our encounter was a lifetime ago. ”

"In my last life... It doesn't feel like it lasts long. ”

Lin Xiuyuan muttered, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, smashed it and smashed it, feeling the sourness of a cow chewing a peony.

"I'm ready. ”

“.... I'm ready too. ”

"Then go and say goodbye to the village chief now. ”

"You go first, I'll lie down later. ”

......

The slanting sun was far away, and the residual red fell to the ground, pulling out two long shadows.

In the lonely wilderness, Lin Xiuyuan and Wuji walked side by side.

"It's a magical reality. ”

Lin Xiuyuan put his hand in from his chest and grabbed out a silver-white ornament, and his tone couldn't tell whether it was emotion or ridicule.

"Do you know this? You've seen it at least seven or eight times along the way. Lin Shaoxia, shouldn't your old man be a descendant of the Peach Blossom Land who lives in seclusion? ”

Wuji has a yin and yang weird face, in the past three months, he has gradually become familiar with the people around him, the so-called close to Zhu is red and close to ink is black, probably this is the truth.

While speaking, Wuji also took out the jewelry on his chest and looked at it twice, one horizontal and one vertical, two metal strips, what's so nice about this?

I don't know what the master of the national teacher is, so let the saint order that the people all wear this thing, and the ghost knows what it means.

Years of seclusion have made Wuji always have a lot of these things on his body, and now the state, the government, if you don't bring this thing on the street, you will have to be thrown into prison by the servants after walking a few steps.

"Hehe, I don't know, I just think this little gadget looks a little chic. ”

"It's strange to believe you" Wuji rolled his eyes in front of Lin Xiuyuan, and didn't ask much.

These two people eat and live together, except for the length and size, they are almost touching each other.

Wuji knows that his benefactor, Lin Shaoxia, and Lin Xiuyuan should be about the same age as his face, as for what the other party said, Wuji doesn't believe a word now.

From the information occasionally revealed by the other party, he probably guessed that Lin Xiuyuan was most likely from outside the realm like the national teacher, and he didn't know anything about Cangwu Country at all.

But the two should be opposed to each other, Wuji felt that Lin Xiuyuan probably had the same purpose as him, and both wanted to kill the national teacher, but the reasons might be different.

However, Wuji didn't care, he didn't suspect Lin Xiuyuan at all, the latter saved his life at the most critical moment, and this alone was enough for Wuji to repay him with death.

Therefore, he didn't care whether Lin Xiuyuan was an outsider or an insider, anyway, Wuji only wanted to kill the national teacher now and avenge his brothers and subordinates;

He is not Ye Liuqing, he cares about the common people, and he has the mind of a saint.

'But what exactly does this national teacher want to do?'

Such doubts appeared in the hearts of the two at the same time.

Since this national teacher bewitched the emperor of the current Cangwu Kingdom, in addition to being in charge of the East and West Second Factory, holding all the officials in the world in his hands, and letting them open the way for their mission, he is no longer in charge of affairs.

Neither usurper nor seek wealth.

After he made the people of the whole country believe in his so-called Lord, he actually kept to himself and became a mascot, and he did not come out all the year round.

The management of the church was also thrown aside, and the second factory in the east and west was also in charge of the factory, and it looked completely natural, which made the second monk scratch his head.

Lin Xiuyuan has assumed many situations, but none of them are in line with the current behavior of this national teacher.

A man (according to Mowgli. He is not greedy for money, he is not lustful, and he is below one person, but above ten thousand, he does not cause trouble to the government.

But to say that he is a good man is quite inappropriate.

This national teacher abolished all the official, folk gods of righteousness and evil in Cangwu Kingdom. Forced the people of Cangwu to convert.

Forget it, he also smashed the ancestral halls of various families, so that the people were not even allowed to worship their ancestors.

It is also because of this that the assassination of the national teacher has never stopped, and Wuji is only the strongest group of people among them.

The army also mutinied quite a bit.

The current Cangwu Kingdom is only a great unification on the surface, but in fact, there have long been wolves everywhere in the local area, and there are countless princes from all walks of life and armed divisions.

What's even more strange is that after entering the capital from the national division, the emperor of the Cangwu Kingdom is like dead, if it weren't for the normal progress of the early dynasty, Lin Xiuyuan suspected that there would have been "rebellious ministers and thieves" in the world attacking the capital in the name of the Qing monarch.

Of course, there are still some now, but they are just shouting slogans, there is no real action, and the name is not right.

Several princes of Cangwu also calmed down, and the world was chaotic like this, and they still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without any movement.

So what kind of conspiracy does the national teacher have? Cutting off the ancestor worship of Cangwu and destroying the cultural foundation of this country is completely a desperate plan. ’

"But there are no other countries in this world, there should be no one outside the world, and the arrival of the national teacher is probably the world emergency situation that I need to solve." ’

After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Xiuyuan found that the key to the task was still on the national teacher.

"Forget it, first accompany Wuji to catch the national teacher, and before Wuji kills him, try to ask if you can ask clearly." ’

......

One of them is a current grandmaster, and the other is inhuman, and finally reached the first destination of the trip: Jingyuan Mansion City before the sunset city gate closed.

Looking up at the tall city gate, counting the sturdy green bricks, under the dusk, this Xiongguan is like a veteran who has half his body into the ground, and he is still tenaciously sticking to his post.

Lian is quite old, can he still eat?

On both sides of the west gate of the Jingyuan Mansion, two teams of soldiers were guarding the gate, interrogating the pedestrians entering and leaving the city in turn.

Even in the waning days, the pedestrians entering and exiting the city gate are still not scarce, and the crowd is bustling.

Soon, all the people in front of Lin Xiuyuan entered the city, and a soldier with a spear and a sharp blade hanging from his waist walked in front of him.

"Who are you, and what are you doing in the Jingyuan Mansion?" the soldier asked lazily, as is customary.

While handing over the spear to his right hand, his left palm was spread evenly, and he stretched out to Lin Xiuyuan openly.

When Lin Xiuyuan was queuing up just now, he saw the soldier's behavior from a distance, and he was not surprised.

Skillfully, he reached into his left hand into his robe, pinched a piece of broken silver, took out a silver grain weighing about a baht, and placed it in the soldier's palm.

This was given to him by Wuji before entering the city, and he was not distressed at all.

The soldiers defending the city weighed the weight of the silver grains, put them in their pockets, and looked Lin Xiuyuan up and down;

Pouting, he waved his hand at Lin Xiuyuan impatiently, signaling him to enter the city.

'Knock on the door' This is probably the voice of the soldiers defending the city at that time, they are so well dressed, but they are stingy to death.

Walking through the gate, waiting for the time of Mowgli, Lin Xiuyuan raised his eyes and looked at the majestic Jingyuan Mansion City.

A bluestone paved road stretches straight into the city, and there is no end in sight.

Looking at the east gate, the houses are lined up one after another, the floors are stacked on top of each other; some of them are carved and painted with railings, they are antique, and some of them are nail-headed phosphorus, and they are green and vermilion.

Maybe it had just rained, and there were fresh water stains on the bluestone slabs, and the carriage ran over and splashed a little mud.

"How's that, doesn't it feel a little bustling? Wuji was like a ghost, and at some point, he quietly leaned up and stood side by side with Lin Xiuyuan.

"It's just a whitewashed façade. ”

Lin Xiuyuan shook his head and pointed to the relatively prosperous east gate.

"Let's go find an inn to stay in first, and we'll discuss something tomorrow. ”

"Of course, let's have a good rest today, maybe I won't be so idle in the future. ”

Wuji nodded in agreement with Lin Xiuyuan's decision, and consciously walked in front of the latter, acting as a tour guide.

...

Shops have been left behind by both. Most of them are closed.

The rice shop next to the street has already hung a sold-out signboard, and through the half-hidden door, you can faintly see a weak shopkeeper, leaning on a chaise longue.

Night fell, enveloping the entire city.

......
