The morning sun sprinkled the path of the bamboo courtyard, and I looked at Ji Jiu, who was only a few steps away in front of me, with a solemn face, and asked softly, "Did you secretly get the letter, or did you guess out of thin air?" ”

The sunlight from the window cast a shadow on his face, and the light in the room was already

Between light and dark, the faces of the people in front of me are more familiar to me.

It's a familiar scene, a few years ago there was a morning like that, and I looked at another person like that.

My mind raced, and suddenly I thought of a possibility that I had never imagined.

Unbiasedly, thinking about it at such a moment makes me feel a chill in my heart.

Ji Jiu once again noticed the subtle change in my feelings, turned his head to look at me and said, "It's that you have heard other rumors." ”

"Ah, it's not." I suddenly came back to my senses, lowering my eyes to hide my surging emotions at the moment.

I thought of what Yun Chu said to me, anything, no matter how puzzled, will always reveal the tip of the iceberg at an inadvertent moment, and the difference between people lies in the fact that some people can grasp those subtle changes, so as to peel back the cocoon and find the truth.

And for others, it's often just over.

"I've been listening to you very carefully." The corners of my mouth moved, "Ninth Master, you said that the place in the East Courtyard is not ordinary, and the one in the capital of Sealand is even worse. ”

I gave him a subtle look.

"I have every reason to believe that apart from the letter sent by the empress, you should have a way to get information faster and more timely."

I squinted my eyes and examined his face in an attempt to find more similarities on it: "Am I wrong?" ”

He was silent, I glanced at him and said in a low voice: "The plan has changed, what is wrong with the postponement of the trip, you have more time to prepare, and I am also familiar with the rules and etiquette you told me last night." “

I continued to ask in a tentative tone: "Are you worried about the two-way game, and in the end there will be an outcome that you don't want to see?" "You guessed wrong," Ji Jiu shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't really care about the battle between the two of them, whether the empress or her sister is on the throne. The only thing I want to do is get out of the way, but you're right. “

I looked at him puzzled and raised an eyebrow.

Ji Jiu passed by me, walked to the window, and looked at the shadows of the trees blown by the wind outside. After a while, he paced back: "The empress has at least an eighty percent chance of winning." "Such a huge disparity in strength?" I was taken aback and glared at him in disbelief and said, "What's the point of that confrontation?" "What's the difference between an egg hitting a stone?"

It would be too unwise for the weak side.

I thought about it quietly, and said to him, "According to what you say, isn't it always the empress who indulges her sister-in-law?" "Ninth Master, you explain my doubts, why is this?"

Ji Jiu walked to the table by the window and sat down, beckoning me to come over.

The tea on the table was already cold, and he didn't mind. Not only filled a cup for himself, but also poured a cup for me, he looked at me and pushed the teacup in front of him and said, "Xiaolin, you take a sip of tea, don't worry." “

What do I have to hurry!

Even if the two sides are desperate, it has nothing to do with me. I'm more out of the way than he is, but being in the Sealand women's country is a big deal, and it's not a trivial matter, and I'm worried that the plan to find medicine will not be implicated.

The days of Sealand are not peaceful, can I go into the palace along with the lì?

Ji Jiu put down the teacup in his hand: "It just so happens that I am free today, I can talk to you about it." ”

He said this as if he had a good time on a daily basis. But I only complained in my heart, and didn't say it, and looked at him solemnly at the moment and said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”

"Xiao Lin, there is an old secret history of the palace between the two of them, I can't tell you everything about it, but you remember one thing. When the empress sat in this position, she owed her only sister. ”

"Speaking of which, the timing of my appearance was also very bad, which aggravated the hostility between the two of them."

Although the stakes are high, it also involves the tasks I have to do when I come to Sealand. But hearing him say it so bluntly, I still didn't resist it, and the corners of my mouth grinned.

He looked at me helplessly and said, "This is a fact, I don't need to hide it." ”

With all that said, I said tentatively: "I asked something that shouldn't be asked, but it has been hovering in my heart for a long time, and your injuries and illnesses are also due to these two people?" ”

Ji Jiu suddenly lowered his head, the sad expression on his face was the kind of sadness I was familiar with, I regretted it a little, and was about to change the topic, when I heard him whisper: "Yes." ”

After that, he quickly raised his head and looked at me: "I only answer this time today, and I will never mention it again in the future." ”

"You and I will eventually return to the bridge, maybe there will be no chance to meet in the rest of our lives, you should be a future stranger to me, it should be easier to tell the truth."

"Future strangers, that's so fresh."

Ji Jiu said with emotion: "After you arrived in Zhuyuan, it often reminded me of the days when I was in the palace when I was a teenager. ”

My heart beat faster, I lowered my head and took a sip of cold tea, only to feel a cool breath pouring down from my throat.

"Is that alright?"

"I mean your teenage life?"

"It's not good, but there are always happy times, when my younger brother was still innocent, and the youth didn't know what it was like to be sad, and we had a short happy time."

The hand holding the teacup tightened, and I heard myself ask in an extremely calm voice: "I've never heard this paragraph, your brother, where is he now?" "More than a year ago, I got the news that it is now in the Night Country."

His voice was soft, but it was like a thunderbolt hitting me on the head, and I watched him lose the ability to speak for a while. "Kobayashi, Kobayashi." Ji Jiu called me a few times in succession, and I looked at him in a daze, "Is the news reliable?" ”

The footsteps were heavy, and my mood was even heavier when I walked in the bamboo garden.

When the truth unfolded in front of me step by step, I could hardly bear the "surprise" that was given to me in front of me.

Looking back on the past, the most profound impression of this person in my life with Yun Chu was in Lingxi Peak, which was an unbearable game

I lost my assertion and walked down the path to the place where I used to stay, and was just about to take out the delicate bamboo flute in my sleeve and try to blow the half of the tune, when my fingers on the flute trembled.

For the first time, I've lost my claim, and now do I want to help him fulfill his wish, or leave the stall in front of me and try my best to figure out a way out of this place?

What the hell should I do is the best, Yun Chu, Yun Chu, that's yours

In the inky night, the light figure of a swallow quietly bypassed the trees and stopped at the gate of the bamboo garden.

Heavily armed, only a pair of eyes were revealed, shining awe-inspiring in the night.

The periphery of the bamboo garden looked unremarkable, but he stayed for a few seconds, and without hesitation, he chose to climb over the wall and fall directly to the corner of the bamboo forest.

The man in black seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of the hospital, as if he had seen it countless times, but only he knew that this was the first time he had set foot in this forbidden place in the two years he had been lurking in the East Courtyard.

Although he had sketched the topography of the bamboo garden countless times before the operation, he quietly gathered information from the mouths of the stewards and the occasional discussions of the people below until he drew a complete map of the bamboo garden.

He knew where the boy was, and he knew where the new love had recently lived.

Choosing the right time to act, it is really because there is no longer any delay in time, the master only has one day left in the city, and if he delays it any longer, he can't explain to her.

He hadn't had such a solo mission for two years, and he was glad that his abilities hadn't diminished.

The courtyard was silent, the moonlight was hidden by dark clouds tonight, and it was pitch black as far as the eye could see, only a lamp in the main house in the courtyard was still on, and occasionally a figure flashed, presumably the people in the house got up to drink water and walked around.

The man in black swept over without hesitation, and the moment he landed in the courtyard, he suddenly heard a slight movement.

Before he could react, another person in the night arrived.

In the flash of light, the two sides passed a few moves, and both sides were stunned, and the routines of kung fu were familiar as if taught by a master.

Stopped, a few feet away, looked at the other party's figure, or the one who came later opened his mouth first. "Who are you?"

I sorted out my medicinal herbs in front of the window, and in the past few days, thanks to Ji Jiu's blessing, some of the rewards came to me, but unfortunately those gadgets have special marks on them, and they can be used for enjoyment, and they can't even be pawned when they lack silver.

Why can't you give some silver? I complained, and flipped over the token of the bamboo hall on my wrist to take a look.

I hope that Sealand will not disappoint me, after all, it is better to use the certificate of Xiuzhutang in Qianzhuang!

The sound in my ears stopped my movements abruptly, and then I sighed and closed the wooden pins of the window.

I don't want to meddle anymore, if Ji Jiu has an accident in the empress's territory, then a group of stewards of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Eastern Courtyard will be called a white bastard!

Under the lights, the incense mist in the ding gradually disperses, it is a light and pleasant smell, and the smell can relax people's whole nerves.

Ji Jiu looked at the two black-clothed men kneeling on the ground in front of him, made a gesture, and one of them came to his side.

There was only one person left kneeling, and Ji Jiu said in a low voice, "Did she let you come?" "Yes," the person below quickly raised his head and glanced at him, his gaze swept over Ji Jiu's white-haired and thin figure, and said in a calm tone, "It was the princess who asked her subordinates, the situation is tense, and it is best for the prince to avoid it." "If Childe is willing, she is in the city now, and she wants to meet you."

The remaining two sentences, the man in black couldn't speak, and his heart was full of bitterness.

Ji Jiu looked at him for half an hour, and suddenly sneered: "Avoid? It's easy to say, where to avoid? “
