Xia Ji wrapped himself in a robe, found a noodle stall on the streets of the town in the middle of the night, sat down, ordered a bowl of clear soup noodles, and ate slowly.

He ate very happily, as if he was happier than going to have a relationship with the bearded girl.

The strength of the liquor, the desire for great tonics, the coldness of the ice and snow, and the lightness of the noodle soup were mixed with all kinds of complicated feelings, but they became calm in his eyes.

"One more bowl. ”

The general threw out the silver beans he had taken from Wang Ao.

The owner of the noodle stall is also very happy, and a grain of silver bean is almost his business income for a day.

Xia Ji waited quietly.

Hear the gurgling sound of boiling water and listen to the noodles get out of the pot.

See the steaming mist again...

He suddenly remembered when he was a child.

At that time, his sister took him and Bai Pu to go around for spring.

The security around the royal capital is good, as long as you pay attention to the fierce beasts in the mountains.

The poor don't take a horse-drawn carriage, but just walk out.

Bai Pu carried an iron pot and a tent on his back.

My sister carries a basket.

The basket contains prepared muffins, noodles, and some seasoned jars.

He walked alone with a dog's tail in his mouth and walked between the two.

The water of Changxi is sweet and clear, but it is mostly occupied by the powerful.

They had to pitch their tents in some corners of the stream, which were not very spacious.

If you catch a big fish, make a grilled fish.

If you're unlucky, then my sister will cook a pot of fish soup underneath.

If you're unlucky, you'll be able to eat some clear noodle soup.

With my sister here, I won't be hungry after all.

After eating, my sister sat in front of the tent and maintained the campfire.

And he and Bai Pu will run around in the woods.

Late at night, my sister slept in a small tent, and he and Bai Pu slept in a large tent.

The general smiled on his lips.

These memories are so beautiful that they were not even in previous lives.

"One more bowl. ”

Soon, he settled another bowl.

After three bowls in a row, he was slightly satisfied.

When I stood up, my body warmed up a lot.

With his hands in his pockets, he stepped lonely into the ice and snow.

"That's life... It's just that the canary likes extravagant birdcages, while the lark yearns for the firmament and freedom... Xia Ning..."

There was a slight pause.

"Actually, I should be happy for you. ”

Xia Ji sighed softly, looked back, looked at the heavy snow falling from the sky with a face, and only took a deep breath until his eyebrows were white.

Back in the house, everything in the house has not been touched, apparently no one has come.

Xia Ji sat at the table in front of the window, and was about to make a pot of tea when he suddenly stopped.

His eyes no longer reflected the picture in front of him...

It's the perspective of Tang Yuan, who doesn't know where.

In the darkness, a figure hoarsely asked, "You failed?"

Tang Yuan said: "The opponent has a brute force, he can lift a boulder more than five meters high, and the strength seems to be inexhaustible... My arrow array is completely ineffective.

Later, we took advantage of his negligence to escape. ”

"Is it the Yama Heavenly Son of Yinsi?"

"No..."

"No?"

"This time there is a mysterious man wearing a bull's head mask. His attack was completely different from that of Yama Heavenly Son. ”

"Hmm... Yama Heavenly Son, Ferryman Demon Monk, Black Rope Rakshasa , Bull Head... Have there been four people in Yinsi?

The Son of Heaven of Yama is extremely mysterious, and once appeared in the Great Zhou Palace.

The ferrying demon monk may be the powerhouse of the older generation of the Great Snow Mountain Tantric Sect.

Black rope rakshasa, will it be the Empress of Western Xia?

No, the Empress of Western Xia has been listening to the government in Western Xia, and she has no skills to appear here.

Could it be a shadow stand-in?

After all, the Heavenly Son of Yama had helped her solve the siege of the Demon Sect at the beginning, and it was normal for her to be close to Yin Si. ”

"Tang Yuan, you describe this bull's head in detail. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

After listening, the dark shadow fell silent.

Xia Ji waited quietly and watched.

The man had apparently done some research on the town's main figures.

So...

He would definitely be able to guess the [Giant Spirit Xuanjian], after all, this kind of humanoid monster with strange power would never miss Li Yuan'er.

The shadow was clearly thinking about something.

A little after a while.

He said with a smile, "Lord Candle Dragon said that he wants to make a move against the Empress of Western Xia, anyway, there are still many of our people in the palace, so we would rather kill the wrong one than miss it."

As for the Great Zhou Palace, those shadows can also move, although it is difficult to kill Concubine Ning, it can still be done with some highly concealed chronic toxins.

I guess that since this Yin Si is against our Holy Society, then nine times out of ten it is in the same camp as Concubine Ning, since this is the case, then we don't need to guess more, and directly target Concubine Ning, then we will naturally meet the people of Yin Si.

By the way, the Empress of Western Xia did not return to Western Xia, but was in Liuzhou City, two hundred miles west of that town...

Well, Tang Yuan, you go down and rest first, you have worked hard in this operation, and I will change people for the subsequent trip to assassinate the Empress of Western Xia. ”

After all that is said.

The black shadow patted Tang Yuan's shoulder.

Tang Yuan nodded, and then slowly retreated.

The gaze has become meaningless again.

Xia Ji observed for a few more moments, and then shifted his attention back.

He leaned back in his wooden chair and leaned back slightly.

"Liuzhou City... Two hundred miles away?"

He turned his gaze to the eye of the earth on the other side of the Tuoba Autumn Water.

The eye of the earth shows a tent.

In the tent, the candles flickered, and some smoke came from the incense burner.

And a shadow is untying her clothes, it is the eldest princess Tuoba Flame Spirit.

Xia Ji hurriedly looked away.

He didn't want to really be a voyeur with his eyes.

I closed my eyes and listened for a while.

Listening to the flame spirit's self-talk, he probably understood the location of the Western Xia mission, which was not Liuzhou City at all, but was always rushing in the direction of Western Xia.

Xia Ji probably thought about it, and estimated that her apprentice was the same as herself, but she inserted the earth eye into the eldest princess of Western Xia.

"So, why is the black shadow so sure that Tuoba Qiushui is in Liuzhou City?"

The boy picked up a small ornament on the table and played with it casually.

After a moment, he muttered to himself:

"It's a secret, as a person who gives orders, but he reveals this information in front of his subordinates who don't go on a mission...

Well, there are only three reasons.

First, this subordinate is his absolute confidant, but Tang Yuan is not, he doesn't even know who the candle dragon is.

Second, the person who issued the order has a habit of leaking secrets, which is unrealistic.

Third...

He did it on purpose.

Now that he knew about the existence of the Earth Eye, although he might not know the specific way to use it, this did not prevent him from suspecting that Tang Yuan was deliberately put back by the Yin Si Bull Head.

The candle dragon should have blue eyes, so he is also clear about the way of snooping and detection.

Then, he is arranging at will, trying to trick me into going to Liuzhou City, and when the time comes, they only need to find out who is missing in this town, and they can know my true identity.

All this is based on the fact that I am not a nobody, and his guess is reasonable.

In response to Xia Ning's words, he also deliberately said it to me, so he set up a suspicious formation, which made me lose my energy, and there were more flaws in the chaos.

But even if I knew it was fake, I would do something out of concern for Tuoba Qiushui.

And the concern for Xia Ning will also allow me to investigate the toxin.

They just need to watch in the dark, find me, and pull out the whole.

Well, although he denies it... But the person who said this should be the candle dragon himself.

This is a heroic mentality of looking at the overall situation and playing with opponents at will. ”

Xia Ji breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't plan to rush to Tang Yuan's place immediately.

Since the other party was able to make this kind of layout, he naturally took into account his possible beheading plan.

Yin Si had already shown great force, and the candle dragon naturally wouldn't stay long in places that might be exposed.

This...

It is a game in which whoever is exposed, who will be weighed, and who will be defeated.

Behind the candle dragon is the Holy Order.

Behind his own is the yin.

The two people between the chessboards are hidden in the shadows, neither of which is visible.

First-hand, flat.
