Gu Cheng responded to her words, and Shen Huan was willing to believe in his heart that he was a gentleman and a promise-she had never doubted this.

What's more, he can't escape, a person has you in his heart, no matter how weak he pretends to be on his face, he has actually lost the opportunity. As long as his marriage is delayed again and again, until he is given enough time to understand what lovesickness is and what it is difficult to give up, sooner or later there will be room for a turnaround.

Shen Huan decided not to persecute Gu Cheng for the time being, not to mention that she had other things to do, such as improving herself, and her martial arts cultivation that had stagnated recently.

She often thinks of the man in black she met that night, in the vast night, she can't see his hidden weapon or sleeve arrow, how to send it, how to shoot down the target, but killing people at such a close distance is invisible, which is exactly the realm she has always wanted to achieve.

Taking advantage of Gu Cheng's inattention, she went out in the middle of the night again to find the man in black. It's a pity that the person disappeared without a trace, as if he had never really appeared, as if the encounter that night was only in her imagination.

On this day, Shen Huan went to the street to pick up medicine for Xu's, and on the way back, he passed through the downtown area, when a restaurant opened, and the lively crowd congested the road ahead. She had no intention of stopping, so she had no choice but to stop and watch, but she was attracted by a person in gorgeous clothes in front of the building.

Two-winged black yarn, a red python robe, white and beardless. She recognized that person, it was Xia Sheng, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi.

He came to congratulate him, Shen Huan stared coldly in the crowd, and couldn't help but secretly say, officials and businessmen openly colluded to this step, it seems that the country has been in a hundred years, and the roots are already rotten, and the so-called Huanghuang foundation will fall sooner or later.

I thought for a moment, and the next moment, the crowd was in an uproar. Even Shen Huan and other people saw it clearly, and Eunuch Xia, who was patting his shoulders and laughing with the restaurant owner, suddenly stiffened, and immediately fell forward, falling straight to the ground, and never got up again.

Shen Huan saw more clearly, it was a three-inch sleeve arrow, inserted into Xia Sheng's neck. The crowd dispersed like a tidal wave, and she leaned back, looking in the direction of her Hidden Arrow.

Her eyes finally fell on a tall and thin man, and her intuition told her that maybe he was the man in black she met that night.

Shen Huan did not hesitate, taking advantage of the chaos to chase in the direction that the man was running. The people in front walked extremely fast, and they turned around and entered the alley. She had to raise her breath, and she didn't know how long she had been running, but finally her ears gradually cleared, and she was already in front of a secluded courtyard.

She stopped and looked at the man standing not far away. A cyan pan-collar shirt, a square scarf, a very ordinary outfit; The limbs are slender, the body is emaciated, and the emaciation reveals vigorous strength.

The man slowly raised his head, with slightly high cheekbones, a narrow face, and thin sword eyebrows. It's not good-looking, but there is a kind of loneliness and loneliness that points directly to people's hearts.

"Is that you?" Shen Huan asked lightly, she actually wanted to listen to the moving sound of that night again.

The man nodded, and Shen Huan smiled, "I'm following you again, this time, do you want to kill me?" ”

"I don't kill people at will." The voice was low, like a river flowing quietly, "But if you follow me again, I may kill you." ”

Shen Huan smiled, with a thorough calmness between his eyebrows, "You can kill people unconsciously, you are the person I am looking for, I need your kung fu." ”

The man was indifferent, Shen Huan fixed his gaze, and said, "I don't care who you are, and you don't need to tell me, I just want to learn this martial art from you." ”

The man let out a low laugh, but there was no smile on his face, "I have no sect, I can learn kung fu, but after I finish it, I will be responsible for it." ”

Listening to something fresh, Shen Huan frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

The man lowered his hand and approached a few steps, his breath was stable, and there was no killing intent, "After completing the study, the responsibility is to maintain the Heavenly Dao. ”

For a moment, Shen Huan suddenly had a sense of happiness, "This is a responsibility?" If I really have such a mission, then I am the most suitable person. ”

The man shook his head, looking calm, "Maintaining the way of heaven is not just revenge for personal grudges. ”

These words were incredible, and Shen Huan asked, "Aren't you from the rivers and lakes, and you have no grudges with Xia Sheng?" Killing him just to maintain, the so-called Heavenly Dao? ”

The man bowed his head slightly, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Have you ever heard of the Lingzi? ”

Unheard of, Shen Huan shook his head, "What's that?" ”

"It is a book written by a hermit during the Warring States period." The man said, "He has a unique skill and practices the art of assassination and concealment. The book is divided into three parts, the upper part is the disciple genealogy, the middle is the killing of the king, and the lower is the assassination record. In later generations, there were disciples who came out, either hidden in the government and the opposition, or hidden in the downtown area, just to follow the explanation in the book: kill the only husband and benefit the world, so that the people can get rid of the sea of suffering and be happy, and maintain the way of heaven. ”

As if a clear light appeared, Shen Huan's eyes became clearer and clearer, "Kill the king? Doing righteous deeds is the work of chivalry. Are you? ”

The man chuckled softly, "I am an Assassin, and an Assassin is a part of this world, consciously upholding the way of justice. ”

"It turns out that there really are such people." Shen Huan couldn't help laughing loudly, "Then, as you said, you should accept me as a disciple, I should take what is described in the book as my own responsibility, and be sincere and obedient to become a great way." ”

The man was silent for a long time before he said, "I said that the way of heaven is not a personal vendetta, and your anger is too heavy. ”

"My enmity is about the way you want to protect," Shen Huan's tone was categorical, "You have seen the foundation of the martial arts I have practiced, looking at the world, there are not many people who can have such cultivation at my age." My former master told me that I was a martial artist who could not be obtained again. You may regret missing me. ”

Lowering his eyes, his eyes were shining, "You are willing to talk to me so much, in fact, you have already saved your mind to take me as a disciple, haven't you?" ”

The man finally laughed and nodded, "Your heart still needs to be sharpened and corrected, I'm not in a hurry, this matter will be discussed later." ”

"How long will that be?" Shen Huan's eyes were like electricity, "Can you allow me a time?" ”

The man muttered for a moment and replied, "I will look for you again in a month's time, and then I will talk about it later." He moved slowly, with a restrained calmness under his feet.

Shen Huan pondered for a moment and asked urgently, "Do you know where to find me?" ”

As he spoke, the man had already passed her and walked away, and the voice of flowing water drifted with the wind, "Xuanyi Fang Chengshun Street, the third room at the mouth of the alley." Gu's old house, see you in a month. ”

Shen Huan was stunned for a moment, for a long time, laughed silently, and then looked at the deserted courtyard in front of him, but it turned out to be not the place where the person lived.

It's only been a month, and Shen Huan asked himself if he had enough patience to wait, but before half a moon, Gu Zhai's illness had changed-Xu's illness suddenly worsened in the twilight of autumn.

At first, I was just infected with a little wind chill, and I didn't want to delay it for a few days, but it gradually became a high fever that did not subside for a long time. In addition, she has always been weak and coughing and wheezing, and this wind and cold have brought out all the symptoms of the past. But after ten days, the person was so weak that he couldn't leave the bed, and he was so thin that he almost lost his appearance.

Gu Cheng took leave and concentrated on serving his mother in front of the bed every day, Rao was in good health, and he was a little haggard after a few days. Shen Huan looked anxious, so he volunteered to take care of him.

"No need, I'll just keep it." He stroked the corner of his forehead and only stared at the sleeping Xu, "You go back and rest." ”

Seeing that he was tired and detached, Shen Huan lost his temper, "She's my godmother, what's wrong with me taking care of her?" Afraid that I'm not careful? You can't think so, no matter how rough I am, I'm a girl after all. ”

Gu Cheng's voice was not high, but it was slightly cold, "I don't mean that, she is my mother, so naturally I should serve her." ”

"Don't you want to fake others? Or don't you want to fake my hands? Shen Huan didn't change his aggressiveness, "Why are you so stubborn!" ”

After hating it, he looked at him unconsciously, his thin shoulders seemed to be vaguely able to reveal the outline of his bones, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and tried to persuade him again, "A patient in the family has been turned over on his back, and you are sick again, and there is no one who is in charge." Be obedient, just rest when you should go, here I am, I can't get out of the chaos. ”

Gu Cheng remained motionless, ignoring it, and only looked at her for a while, then quickly lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm not so easy to get sick, even if I'm really sick, isn't there still you, can you take care of me." ”

These words were said coldly, and it was on such an occasion that she was a little stunned. Immediately, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice, if it weren't for the fact that this was not the moment, this should have been a very playful remark.

As the two of them spoke, Xu Shi slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were not very clear, and he was cloudy from the pain, looked at the two of them, and gasped, "Go back, I'm fine here." Tell Mother Zhu to come in, I have something to say to her. ”

For a while, I wished my mother to enter, and even coaxed and persuaded the two of them to leave, so that they sat down and prepared to appease the Xu family.

As soon as I sat down, I heard a sigh from the person on the bed, and his voice was sad and resentful, "Wronged, ......"
