Chapter Forty-Nine: Lonely Shadows

In front of the autumn tower, only the pond water ripples, and a few grasshoppers in the grass make a sound, and the five fingers are not visible in the dark night, let alone the people who walk in the night in black clothes.

The man in black had light footwork, and suddenly he quickly rushed into the Wangqiu Tower, carefully observing everything in the building, he found that there was nothing he was looking for here, so he walked into the inner room, suddenly, the man in black stopped, only revealing a pair of sharp eyes like a sword edge revealed joy, he looked around the house, what he wanted was in this room, but where was it hidden? The person on the bed was still asleep, and the man in black slowed his breathing, skimming over the objects in the room with his hand, no, no, or no, where did she hide it? Suddenly, the person on the bed turned over, as if awakened by the movement in the room, and the man in black held his breath and did not dare to move. After a while, the man in bed fell into a deep sleep again, and the man in black jumped out of the window when he saw that the search was unsuccessful.

The man in black jumped out of Wangqiu Tower, ran all the way to the southeast, and finally stopped in Tong Ying Building, the man in black pulled down the mask, and under the mask was a cold face, it was Yin Shaohan. Yin Shaohan changed out of his night clothes and paced thoughtfully in the courtyard.

"Qingjing Sword, I must find you." Yin Shaohan muttered to himself, not noticing that a pair of eyes on the eaves were also staring at him tightly.

Approaching the beginning of winter, Xi Ji counted the days when she came to Dongjing, and unconsciously it had been almost four months, for several months, she kept saying to the clan old Zhong Weng that extravagance was a problem for her henchmen, and sooner or later she had to get rid of it in order to feel at ease, Zhong Weng had already seen through her mind and knew that she was quite selfish, so she only said that she had understood, but more than that, she ignored it.

Su Qingwu has not been seen since he left the Yunlin Palace a month ago, and in the second half of the month, he wrote to Zhong Weng that he felt that there must be something strange about the end of the world, so he asked for his own life to investigate the matter. Zhong Weng knew that this matter of cutting first and then playing was Su Qingwu's most commonly used, and there was nothing important in Dongjing recently, so he secretly acquiesced to Su Qingwu. And since Ye Wan returned to the Cloud Pavilion, the southwest corner of Dongjing seemed to be ready to move, Ye Wan immediately asked Zhong Weng for orders to go to the border in the southwest corner to guard, if there was no major matter, Ye Wan would not return to the pavilion.

On this day, Zhong Weng was in the Yunlin Palace, the reason was that the Wu extravagant secret people came to report, recently the Wu extravagance secretly moved a lot, as if there was collusion with the surrounding small tribes to invade Dongjing, in order to detect further moves, Zhong Weng decided to send a young leader to Wu Lu to secretly investigate the matter.

"Stygian snow." Zhong Weng thought about it again and again, and finally spoke: "You have been in Wulu for many years in the past, and you are familiar with it, and this is your chance to make meritorious contributions." Would you like to? ”

"Dark Snow" is Xi Ji's name in the Cloud Pavilion, she doesn't like this name very much, but at the beginning, she wanted to enter the Cloud Pavilion in place of Mu Mingxue, everything was her own willingness, over time, Xi Ji got used to this title, "Mu Shaoling", "Dark Snow" is the reason why she can continue to survive in this place.

Xi Ji heard Zhong Weng's question, her heart suddenly beat a few beats, Zhong Weng wanted to test her loyalty to Dongjing, if she didn't agree, then from now on she would be in the Cloud Pavilion, and there would be no trust in Zhong Weng's heart, if she agreed, Wu Weng, how could she go back? Moreover, once she left Izumo Pavilion, there was one more person she had to guard against.

"Clan Elder." Xi Ji raised her head and glanced at Yin Shaohan, and continued: "Ying Xue asked herself that she was not good at martial arts, among the other three young leaders, only Senior Brother Yin and Senior Sister Su were still fresh faces in Wuxuan, and now Senior Sister Su is not in the pavilion, I hope that the clan elder will agree to let Senior Brother Yin go to Wuxuan with me." "Yin Shaohan, this person, she has to guard against it, not only because he is quite deep in the city, but also because he is holding the Blue Shadow Sword in his hand.

Zhong Weng frowned slightly, and stroked the golden dragon head leaning under his arm with his hand, as if he was thinking. "Shaohan, you can go together." After a while, Zhong Weng said again: "If you find a strange movement and a lack of cold, do you know what to do?" ”

Yin Shaohan nodded and said, "Old Hui, Shaohan understands. ”

"Well, you'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Out of the Yunlin Palace, Yin Shaohan stopped Xi Ji, "Senior sister." Xi Ji was stunned and stopped, "Senior sister should have a good rest tonight, we will set off from the waterway early tomorrow morning, and the journey will be faster." ”

Since Xi Ji came to Ruyun Pavilion, Yin Shaohan and Ye Wan have never called Xi Ji "Ying Xue" or "Senior Sister Mu", only the word "Senior Sister".

"Got it." Xi Ji replied, "Senior brother, let's rest early." After speaking, Xiji quickly left the front of the temple and did not linger any longer. Yin Shaohan looked at the back of Xi Ji leaving, revealing a strange smile.

"The shadow is sparse and the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon" on the riverside, a man in white muttered in his mouth, his eyes were firmly fixed on the layers of sunset reflected on the water surface, so he folded a branch beside him, and gently paddled across the water, at this time a gust of wind blew, the man stretched out his other hand, calmly opened his palm, and a maple leaf fell in his palm, he sent the maple leaf in his hand to the river, let the water move, and then watched the leaves drift farther and farther.

"Ye Shaoling, Izumo Pavilion has sent someone to pick up the moon piece."

The man in white turned his face slightly, only to see that his originally handsome face had been much thinner and a little haggard, and he smiled faintly: "I know, I'll go over now." ”

Back in the big tent, Ye Wan saw that the figure standing in the big tent was very familiar, and when he got closer, the standing body turned around and said loudly: "Brother Ye!" ”

"Silver Heart!" Ye Wan's face seemed to be happy, "I knew it was you." What are you doing here? ”

"Shhhh You're quiet. I sneaked out. Yinxin hurriedly pulled Ye Wan and walked towards the inside of the big tent.

"You see that you are dressed as a man, but you caught the little guy who came to pick up the moon piece, and ran out in disguise as him?"

"Otherwise, what else can I do" Yinxin shrugged his shoulders and stuck out his tongue at Ye Wan again.

Ye Wan smiled helplessly, knocked on Yinxin's head, and said, "The clan elder knows to see how you are punished." ”

Who knew that Yinxin lay on the floor with a relaxed face, and spread his hands and said: "How can the clan elder have time to remember me, since he came back from the vulture, the clan elder has only cared about the vulture visit" Before he finished speaking, Yinxin saw Ye Wan's smile condensed on his face, and immediately realized that he should not mention the word "vulture", so he stopped talking and stopped talking.

"Nothing. Tell me, why did you come so far to find me? ”

Yinxin pursed her lips, jumped off the collapse, and walked in front of Ye Wan, "Brother Ye, you have been at the border for several months, I can't look at you left and right, and I want to see you, so I will come to see you." ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"Hmm!" Silver Heart nodded vigorously. "But you're not fun here, the soldiers here are training except drills, and the wind is strong, and when it blows, I have a mouthful of sand on my face. Look at yourself again, Brother Ye, I haven't seen you for a few months, how did you become like this, dark and thin, living like a reckless man. ”

Ye Wan pinched Yinxin's little face, with an expression of "I don't believe what you said", and said, "Don't interrupt, I still want to lie to you Brother Ye, what are you doing, come from the truth." ”

"Pain, pain, pain" Yinxin covered her cheeks with her hands, pursed her mouth, the expression on her face regained her calmness, and suddenly she looked at Ye Wan seriously, and said, "Brother Ye, how long are you going to stay?" Wait until you forget? ”

Ye Wan just bypassed Yinxin and turned her back to her, "Yinxin, what are you talking about?" ”

"You can fool others, but you can't fool me. I know you're sad to flee here. Sister Mu can be remembered everywhere in the Cloud Pavilion, so you have escaped so far and for so long. Ye Wan clenched her fists, still refusing to look back at Yinxin.

"Brother Ye, you ran to this bitter cold place on the border alone, and you still don't take good care of yourself. If you can avoid it for a while, can you not go back for the rest of your life? I came this time because I was worried about you, and also because of Sister Mu, if she was here, she shouldn't be able to bear to see you like this. ”

Ye Wan's body became stiff, he didn't move, and his mind was completely seen through by Yinxin. "yes, I'm just looking for a place far away from the Cloud Pavilion. Who knows, it's useless to flee anywhere. Every night I dream of the moment when the snow falls into the cliff, regretting that I didn't save her in time, and every night in my dreams I experience the pain of that day again and again, and then wake up from nightmares. Silverheart, tell me, what should I do? How can I forget? ”
