- Wu Ze no longer hesitated, and immediately responded: "Then you are optimistic, I will take your last territory with one son!" ”

He doesn't care that because of the change of players, his current advantages are actually all derived from Lin Shan's step-by-step in the first half, and his so-called "last territory" is actually tossed out by himself. He just immediately turned proud, thinking that he could win steadily this time, not only to be mentally successful, but also to have a reason to fight with Lin Shan again.

It's just that to his great surprise, he fell with one son, and then the momentum created by the first few strokes caused a strong impact on the opponent's chess formation, but he did not really win all the opponent's positions with one son, as he said.

Lin Shan seemed to have figured out the place of the fall in his heart, and after Wu Xue fell, he didn't think about it for too long, that is, his body leaned forward slightly, and the hand that had been in his sleeve reached out, put it down, and then withdrew it into his sleeve.

Wu Xue looked at the chess board and couldn't help but gasp.

Not only did he not achieve the wild words just now, but at this time, although the opponent's disadvantage was not completely reversed, the remnant formation seemed to be cut off, making a group of chess pieces faintly alive.

The centipede legs are not useful, and the scorpion poisons people.

Looking at Wu Ze in surprise, as if he was about to enter into that kind of long thinking again, Lin Shan couldn't help but say: "It's not good if the fall is too slow, your opponent has time to see through the layout of your thinking." The chess formation contains a heavenly calculation, but there are also some officers who are well versed in this way, and the face of the soldier formation can be more changeable than the chess formation, and hesitation may be to miss the opportunity. ”

Wu Xue shook his head and said abruptly: "Don't urge, I'll be here soon." ”

Lin Shan slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then reached out and put it down. And he stood up.

Wu Ze was puzzled: "I haven't fallen yet?" ”

Lin Shan said with a smile: "No matter where you land next, in short, you only have those positions to choose from, and I am the same, who comes first and who comes later has little impact on the ending." You continue, no matter how you fall next, my place will not change. ”

"Don't go." Although Wu Xue understood what he meant, he still refused to relax. hurriedly shouted: "Who told you to let me." We said just now, if I win this set, you'll have to serve another game. ”

"You've got to give me a breather." Lin Shan's face was helpless. "Just leave for a while."

Wu Ze watched Lin Shan leave the stone table, his eyes turned as he moved, and then he saw Chen Jiu standing not far away and not making a sound to disturb their conversation.

He was stunned for a moment and then realized that he would not say more. Facing away from the pair of people who were approaching each other, they sat silently back at the chess table, and their eyes reintegrated into the smoke-filled chess piece battle array.

Get out of the shade of the pines. Walking towards the increasingly dazzling sun, Lin Shan looked at the slender woman who was also walking slowly opposite, and said with a slight smile: "You are here, why have you been standing so far away." Don't prompt a word either? ”

Chen Jiu said softly: "Actually, I have just arrived, so I am afraid of disturbing you." I know that Mr. Wu likes to be quiet when he plays chess, and I am afraid that he will be annoyed. ”

I didn't notice anything when I looked at him in the shade of the pines just now. At this moment he approached and stood in the sun. Seeing that his face was still a little pale, Chen Jiu only felt a little sad. The blood that was finally cultivated some time ago was tossed off in just one day, and after a few days, I didn't get much back.

"Doctor Wu is really not in a good mood today, because he has already lost four sets in the morning, and it is not because no one has disturbed him."

Seeing Lin Shan's walk to the front of him, Chen Jiu didn't want to pay attention to playing chess. She grabbed Lin Shan's forearm, pulled out his hand in his sleeve, and pasted it with the palm of her hand, and then her eyebrows frowned slightly before she could sweep it, and said quietly: "This Mr. Wu is really a careless person, will he lose his soul as soon as he enters the chess realm?" At this time, it is not yet summer, and the cool breeze is gusting in the thick shade, how can you sit for a long time? ”

As soon as she said this, she saw Wu Ze, who was pondering chess moves not far away, suddenly turned around and shouted: "I thought of three moves, all of them are draws." How do you calculate a tie? ”

Lin Shan was about to answer, but suddenly felt a tightness in his wrist, and it turned out that Chen Jiu was holding his hand and dragging him away.

He hesitated slightly, but was relieved in an instant, ignoring the chess idiot who was waiting for him to reply not far behind, and just let the power of the infatuation in front of him trot out of the East Corner Courtyard.

It wasn't until he stopped that Chen Jiu realized that he had just made a little too bold in his actions.

But when she met the bright eyes that she was also looking at, she suddenly felt that the wanton in that moment just now actually gave people a wonderful and enjoyable feeling.

I really want to be like this, I can hold your hand at any time, wherever I lead you, you are willing to follow my footsteps.

Chen Jiu thought silently in his heart.

Lin Shan had been watching her quietly, and it could be clearly observed that although she had left her residence to recuperate for a few days, she was still tired and haggard between her eyebrows. Even when she smiled, the smile didn't quite stretch out.

After staring at each other like this for a long time, Lin Shan finally spoke out for a moment, breaking the tranquility like warm water: "What are you thinking?" ”

Of course, Chen Jiu would not say what she thought in her heart just now, she was stunned for a moment, she only complained: "It's not that I'm worried about you, I don't know how to take care of myself." With that, she took his hand and sighed, then rubbed it.

Maybe even she didn't realize it, but since the incident in the kitchen a few days ago, and then when she faced Lin Shan, she had grown a lot of initiative.

"When the ice melts and the snow disappears in the spring, these cold are just passing by the skin, and you are too worried, which is not good for you." Lin Shan habitually spoke against him.

However, in some of the things that have happened in the past few days, there has been a slight change in his inherent state of mind. The thought turned slightly, and as soon as his voice raised, he called a guard close and gave a few orders. After a while, the guard came back with a jacket, he stretched his sleeves on his sleeves, straightened his placket again, and then looked at Chen Jiu and smiled and said, "You see, in fact, I am very fast at learning anything. ”

Seeing this, Chen Jiu was slightly stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "Learn quickly, forget quickly." ”

"Yes?" Lin Shan heard this, and there was a rare innocent expression in his eyes. It made Chen Jiule laugh again.

Speaking of forgetfulness, Chen Jiu suddenly remembered that she had something to tell Lin Shan, and hurriedly smiled and carefully recounted the whole process of the scholar she had just met in the inn.

Lin Shan has been looking for his junior brother Cen Chi for more than ten years, but he has not been able to find an accurate trace. This matter has lasted for a long time, and the old wine has also learned a little. Because she used to have a lot of eyes and ears in Kyoto. Lin Shan also commissioned her eyeliner to search for her eyeliner in Kyoto for a while. Chen Jiu was extremely suspicious of the strange scholar he saw in the inn, suspecting that he was the junior brother Lin Shan was looking for.

Even she herself was a little surprised by this speculation. But the misty falling flowers blurred her vision, but the outline of the scholar's actions and demeanors was clearly reflected, which was a temperament that was very close to some of Lin Shan's mannerisms and habits, and it was very likely that he and Lin Shan's sitting, eating, and studying with Lin Shan's teachers for several years were the result of polishing.

And if you don't look at the positive face of the scholar who is suspected of Cen Chi. Just looking at his back riding a horse, it is even more like when Lin Shan, who was weak at the age of the crown more than ten years ago, first came to Kyoto. This image does not refer to physical features. Rather, it is a characteristic of behavioral habits.

It's like a veteran soldier who has been in the army for many years, even if he is ordered to unload his armor and blend into the ranks of farmers, the bow and arrow he carries on his shoulder becomes a plow, and the lance he holds in his hand becomes a hoe. But the width of his steps and the posture of his shoulders and back when he walked can still reflect the image of the marching army.

Cen Chi is not from a military background. But he is one of the descendants of the Northern Fence School, an ancient school with very strict rules. After staying in this school for a few years, both knowledge and behavior habits will be more obvious and imprinted with the traces of this school.

After listening to Chen Jiu's speculation, Lin Shan's expression suddenly became solemn. It seemed that the inference in his mind at this time was close to the same as hers, but because of this, his mind became a little complicated.

Chen Jiu stared at him for a moment, and couldn't help but whisper, "Is there anything tricky?" ”

Lin Shan didn't say it directly, but said slowly: "Actually, when my injuries were generally improved last year, I received a secret letter from my senior brother from Kyoto, knowing that my senior brother was going to look for me near western Sichuan. According to what you just said, the young man with the knife should undoubtedly be the head of the ten generals of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with a single surname and a subtext. As for the person who looks like a Taoist priest, you don't know it, but I can roughly guess that it should be the descendant of the Beili School. ”

As early as three years ago, when Lin Shan returned to Kyoto, he had a mind about the hermit alien in the house that the Prime Minister raised in the name of making friends, and now he has investigated most of it, and the information of the ten generals of the Prime Minister is of course the first to obtain.

According to the law, Beijing officials can raise a certain number of private soldiers to protect the house, which is also because of the rules created by the turbulent situation in the last years of the previous dynasty, and there have been no rectification measures until now. However, of course, the details of these private soldiers had to be kept on file in both Kyoto Prefecture and the Ministry of War.

With the intervention of the power on the side of the Commander's Mansion, it was very easy for Lin Shan to find out who had raised which private soldiers. The Prime Minister's Mansion was the place he paid close attention to, and of course he had repeatedly browsed the information of the ten generals who were not weak in comprehensive ability, including their portraits.

Of course, Chen Jiu also knew about this, so she was not surprised to see that Lin Shan could easily identify the name of the young swordsman she had just seen in the courtyard of the inn, but she was surprised by the middle-aged Taoist with eyes like electricity.

Why did you see a descendant of the North Fence School again?

Thinking about it a few days ago, the old pharmacist Liao Shi, who had just left, was also a descendant of the Beili School.

It seems that there are not many descendants of this school, but why is the rule of the inappropriate person only firmly tied to Lin Shan's head?

Chen Jiu hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but knock on the side: "Actually, there are really a lot of your fellow disciples and brothers." ”

"The same door you are talking about, that Taoist you mean?" Lin Shan looked at the old wine, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.

Chen Jiu looked at him, although she didn't speak, her eyes were obviously asking: Isn't it?

Lin Shan shook his head lightly and said, "The heirs of the side sect are the side branches of the division, and after the branches are scattered, they will no longer return to the backbone of the Northern Fence faction. In the future, I may have intersections with these collateral descendants, but there are almost zero places where I can be constrained or interfered with by door rules. ”

He never mentioned it to outsiders about the Shimen School, but today in the face of Chen Jiu, he has something he wants to explain a little. After pondering for a moment, he slowly continued: "My master inheritance school only transmits two formal disciples in one generation, and these two disciples will have a revised intellectual and artistic competition within the school after completing their studies. One of the winners is in charge of the Ion Token, uses all the resources of the school, and is no longer restricted by the school's regulations. The other disciple sat in the school and did not go out lightly, and the task of staying behind was to teach the next two disciples, and so on, for more than 300 years.

Just now I said that the person is a descendant of the Northern Fence School. It's because only the disciple who lost in the same competition. With the responsibility of the qualifications of the disciples, the disciples he passed down can be regarded as the main line of the North Fence. As for the one who won the competition in the same year and inherited the ion token, of course, he can also accept apprentices. And his disciples can be unlimited in number, but they are no longer regarded as the main lineage descendants of the North Fence School, and they are not eligible to participate in the competition to obtain ion tokens, so they belong to the side lineage. ”

Chen Jiu frowned slightly. This explanation of the internal structure of the Beili School was the first time she had heard Lin Shan mention it. For a while, she felt novel, and she was full of confusion when she heard it. She tried her best to analyze what Lin Shan said word for word in her heart, and then she rubbed her forehead and said slowly: "Only two disciples in a generation? What if misfortune happens to one of them? Such a harsh rule can be passed down for more than 300 years. What a miracle. ”

Lin Shan smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "People like my generation of Beilimen have not yet passed the guò wisdom competition. Leaving the master and walking around is also the only special case since the twenty-second generation inheritance. As for the kind of accident you're talking about. If it weren't for leaving the protection of the Shimen School, encountering an attack by some evil force outside, and beheading to death, there would never have been an unprovoked death. What's more, the main disciples of the Shimen School must learn a certain amount of martial arts, and ordinary bandits can't help it. ”

Chen Jiu seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with a smile: "Your master should be good at many skills, right?" Although the old pharmacist is a descendant of a partial sect, retrospectively, he is also a disciple of a certain generation of ion token holders, and the origin of the medicine he learned is still from the Beili School. In this way, although there are few main disciples of the Northern Fence School, in addition to practicing martial arts to protect themselves, it is unlikely that they will suddenly contract a disease and die young. ”

Lin Shan nodded with a smile and did not say anything more. As for the structure of the Beili School, he was only willing to talk about this step to Chen Jiu for the time being—perhaps he would only speak to her once in his life.

At this time, Chen Jiu had completely understood Lin Shan's explanation just now, and she gradually adjusted her curiosity in her heart, and suddenly wondered: "No, you said that there are only two main disciples in the generation of the Beili School, but you seem to have one senior brother in addition to one junior brother, and these are three people." ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Chen Jiu saw the smile on Lin Shan's face freeze, she was slightly shocked, and asked softly: "Did I say something that shouldn't be said?" ”

"You're someone who has nothing to do with the North Fence School, so it's normal to say that." Lin Shan's gaze fell to the ground and he was silent for a moment, and then his gaze re-raised to Chen Jiu's face, his expression had become extremely serious, and he said, "Jiu'er, I want you to promise one thing. ”

Chen Jiu was stunned, because Lin Shan almost never forced her to agree to anything in such a tone, which had no choice but to be unquestionable.

But she didn't hesitate too much, and nodded quickly, although she didn't speak, but her face was already solemn.

"You remember, I only have one junior brother, but I don't have any senior brother. If it is not in the necessary environment, you can't even mention the information of my junior brother. After saying this, Lin Shan suddenly sighed again, and said in a much softer tone: "This is a secret. ”

"I remember." Chen Jiu nodded earnestly in agreement.

It wasn't until today, listening to Lin Shan's initiative to talk about his school, talking about those harsh rules, more carefully than the information revealed by the old pharmacist Liao Shi a few days ago, that Chen Jiu deeply understood why this school was so low-key and almost completely hidden.

If this is not the case, it is easy to break the dynasty by accepting only two disciples in a generation.

But this school of fortune has been able to perpetuate this rule for hundreds of years, and it is silent but in the most convincing way that it proves that it is meritorious, and that it is unlikely to be reversed in the slightest.

Although she still doesn't quite understand why the Beili School doesn't recruit more disciples, the same class of disciples is always limited to two people.

But she only needs to be clear about one thing, which is enough for her to keep her promise to Lin Shan. Regarding this rule, if someone with a heart obtains it, Lin Shan and his junior brother who have not been seen for a long time may be in danger. And if the "secret" that Lin Shan just said was leaked, then he would take his senior brother with him. I'm afraid it's even harder to escape the disaster.

However, she didn't know that the word "secret" mentioned by Lin Shan, in addition to the ones she had deduced, really contained another secret. However, fortunately, she hadn't thought of so much yet, otherwise she would have doubts in her heart, but Lin Shan might not be willing to continue to answer. It only adds to the troubles.

Silent thought for a moment. Lin Shan put away his thoughts and didn't say anything more on this topic. But when he was ready to go to the inn himself, he called two attendants. Left the residence with the old wine.

Two attendants, one is Jiang Chao, who has been following Lin Shan's longest time, and the other is Shan Liang, who received Lin Shan's special attention in the incident a few days ago. Both men were undoubtedly loyal and courageous, but Yamara's subtle and subtle powers of observation were keen. It is even more appreciated by the forest cedar and has been cultivated with the intention of cultivating.

The two men entered the inn first. A few moments passed, and a pebble popped out of the window of a room and landed on the ground. Lin Shan, who was standing at the gate, saw this scene, and then calmly stepped into the courtyard of the inn. Then he walked towards the room where the stone had been bounced.

Shan Liang waited in that room, and Jiang Chao was nowhere to be seen, but it became quiet in the inn. The old wine walking on Lin Shan's side could probably be deduced where this loyal and incomparable attendant went to the inn. What was done.

Seeing Lin Shan walk in, Shan Liang just bowed slightly and performed the subordinate salute, without saying a word.

Lin Shan just nodded, and then he walked slowly in this room. After walking around the wall twice, and scanning his gaze twice, he looked at Shan Liang and said softly, "Do the three of them live in the same house?" ”

Shan Liang immediately shook his head and replied, "It's one for each." ”

"Point it to me."

……

Went to the other two rooms pointed by the attendant Shan Liang, Lin Shan stepped into them, and walked around the wall twice, silently sweeping everything in the room into his eyes, and then he silently walked out of the house.

Standing in the small courtyard of the fourth ring of several guest rooms, Lin Shan's eyes fell on the bell flower that was about to bloom, and then his gaze moved down slightly, glanced at the falling flowers under the tree, and suddenly looked sideways and said, "That's where you met, right?" ”

Chenjiu, who was standing side by side with him, nodded immediately. She had also observed that the traces of falling flowers on the ground vaguely showed two gaps. It is precisely because of this that Lin Shan has a basis to judge that these two positions stand by people, and the pause is not short.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Shan asked again, "Has he said anything else?" ”

When she was in the residence just now, Chen Jiu had already told the whole process of her meeting with the scholar who was suspected of being Lin Shan's junior brother at the inn, but she did not mention the question that the scholar asked, because that question involved an undecided choice in her heart, intentionally or unintentionally.

At this time, Lin Shan also had no intention of asking, but Chen Jiu suddenly heard him ask, and his expression couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

After hesitating for a while, she finally told him the strange question that the scholar had asked.

"How many ways are there to pick flowers?" Lin Shan whispered the question relayed by Chen Jiu, which was originally the scholar's question to Chen Jiu, and the tone he repeated at this time seemed to be asking himself. At the same time, there was also a more obvious puzzled look on his face.

After he pondered silently for a moment, Chen Jiu, as she expected, heard him ask again, "Then did you answer him?" ”

"My answer is......" Chen Jiu suddenly turned halfway through, "...... Isn't it one? ”

"Your answer is not wrong, but ......" Lin Shan hesitated for a moment, and then said with a slight smile: "This junior brother of mine sometimes does things by unscrupulous means, so in his opinion, there is not only one way to solve many problems. ”

The word unscrupulous means is somewhat derogatory. Hearing Lin Shan use this word to describe his only junior brother, a slightly surprised look appeared on Chen Jiu's face.

"He asked you how many ways to pick flowers, and the question may not be the process of picking, or the result of picking. In this way, there are many ways. Lin Shan looked up at the trees swaying in the breeze, like rows of small bells, but could not really make a sound, and said leisurely: "Master gave him a single name with the word 'late', just to hope that he can act a little more slowly, and also to let him have more compassion." ”

He took his eyes off the flower tree, turned to Chen Jiu again, and said slowly: "However, I really can't figure it out, why would he ask you this question?" If it weren't for my knowledge of him, this would be an idiot. But he was a genius with great wisdom and wisdom. ”

Hearing Lin Shan say that his junior brother asked an idiot question, Chen Jiu of course knew that he didn't really mean to belittle, so he only found it interesting when he heard this, and couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Shan also smiled slightly, but there was a little doubt in his smile.

"I'm back." The smile on his face gradually dissipated, and he rolled up his sleeves and walked out of the inn.

……

For the scholar who met Chen Jiu by chance. Lin Shan's inference about his identity is based on only the description of the aged wine. and some traces left in the inn, but the actual situation is roughly the same, but he lacks a chance to witness it with his own eyes.

The scholar in plain clothes was Lin Shan's junior brother Cen Chi. He left Kyoto three years ago and went all the way to Kawanishi. After two years of wandering around western Sichuan, he found the north again.

He didn't have much confidence that he would be able to find the cedars in the Northlands, because the area was too vast. But it is sparsely populated, but there are many bandits. It is unlikely that he will stay in this place for long. Coming back to this town to rest for a few days was also a random encounter, and he wouldn't expect to find his senior brother Lin Shan here.

But many times things in the world are so often so variable. Not all variables are reaping. But not all encounters, the end is just loss.

When he saw Chen Jiu's face and was sure that she was really the Jiuniang of Dongfeng Tower, Cen Chi's heart set off an uproar.

Maybe years ago. When he led the donkey back to Beijing and passed the street in front of Dongfeng Tower, Jiu Niang, who had just gotten up upstairs and looked lazy, did not pay attention to him among the bustling passers-by downstairs. But he remembered her upstairs leaning against the window in a daze.

It's not because of the throbbing love at first sight - like Lin Shan, Cen Chi, who grew up and learned from Beili, began to cultivate his mind and mind every day when he entered the Shimen school, and after several years of continuous study, he naturally had a kind of self-control that ignored beauty - Cen Chi would remember Jiu Niang's appearance, or because of the senior brother he was looking for.

In the more than ten years that Cen Chi had just escaped from the Beili School, Lin Shan had not stopped looking for him, but he had never gained anything, and the reason for this result was not only because Cen Chi was deliberately avoiding Lin Shan, but also because he always had the general location of his senior brother, so he could avoid it so quietly.

Although the relationship between the two brothers and sisters is a little strange and awkward, it has been able to be maintained, but this bond was broken three years ago.

It was only at this time that Cen Chi was a little panicked.

The senior brother he had been avoiding finally stopped coming to him, and as if he had completely disappeared from this world, he finally felt fear and loneliness.

Before that awkward bond was suddenly severed, he never thought that his spiritual dependence on his senior brother would be so strong.

Three years ago, when he learned of Lin Shan's death, his first reaction was not to believe it. However, the smoke and fire in the Lin family's old mansion made him unable to get close, and he couldn't confirm it with his own eyes, which made him hang in the air all the time, but because of this, he was always worried about a glimmer of hope in his heart.

In the three years of searching for his senior brother, Cen Chi walked through almost every inch of land in western Sichuan, and also wrote a few letters back to Kyoto in great secrets, interrogating his senior brother who was a fake monk several times, but there was still no result.

After staying in western Sichuan for more than two years, he was tired of seeing the environment and scenery there, and considering that there were many acquaintances of Lin Shan, he decided to go north for a while, and maybe he could find some clues. Unexpectedly, Beidaying had not yet arrived, and when he passed by this town, he found a clue.

After Lin Shan's accident three years ago, Jiu Niang, the chief steward of Dongfeng Building, immediately retreated from the world. The shallow water passer-by looked at this matter, only thinking that she was tired of the happy life, and those who knew more about the old things in Dongfeng Tower might guess that she was cold to live because of the death of the person she admired.

And for these two views, Cen Chi does not believe in them.

Because he was almost paranoid about it, how could Lin Shan die so easily? Chen Jiu, a woman, is by no means so fragile. Even if this woman may not escape the catastrophe of love, and her heart is dead and haggard and gradually withering, this process will never be as fast as a month!

What's more, in the month after the news of Lin Shan's death came out, Cen Chi had actually quietly observed this woman, only to feel that although she had grief in her eyes at that time, there were no obvious signs of despair, and she was already able to manage the daily affairs of Dongfeng Tower.

After three years of hard searching, although Cen Chi has not really found his senior brother, he has finally made some achievements, and first proved a hypothesis that he insisted on in his heart three years ago.

Cen Chi sat under the tea shed and silently sorted out the old or new ideas in his mind. Then he picked the corners of his mouth in a happy mood.

"You don't look like a tired man from a long journey."

A clear voice floated into his ears, and it was the middle-aged man who looked like a hairpin with a cloud eyebrow and a hairpin and a Taoist cultivation sitting down opposite.

Facing this person, Cen Chi put away the smile on his face and said lightly: "What about others? ”

The "he" in Cen Chi's words refers to the young man with a knife who traveled with him.

"Feed the horses." The Taoist pointed to the thick tile bowl resting on the rough wooden table in front of him, and first moistened his lips. It seems to have tasted the taste of tea soup in the cup. Then he leaned his neck for the second time and drank the turbid tea juice in the cup.

As Lin Shan, who was hundreds of miles away, estimated, this middle-aged man who cultivated the appearance of the Dao was indeed a partial descendant of the Beili School. Although it is a side branch of the Beili School, Fang Wuxue is far from Cen Chi. In addition to swallowing clouds and spitting fog, lying on snow and eating dew, Fang Wu is also obsessed with astrology and divination, calling himself a warlock.

Cen Chi and Fang Wu met in the Prime Minister's Mansion in their early years, but at first they only recognized their faces. There isn't much actual overlap. It was Cen Chi's senior brother who later took a hand and made them know each other's true identities. Only then did they get closer.

In the journey to find his senior brother in western Sichuan, although the results were still slim, it was undeniable that Fang Wu helped Cen Chi a lot of things. Although these two teachers are separated by several generations. They are also dozens of years apart in age, but in the process of more than two years of trekking, the two have actually formed a deep friendship.

It's just that. There was a third person who accompanied them, for this companion from Xiangfu. Cen Chi and Fang Wus were of the same mind, maintaining a very high sense of precaution.

In the past two years, Cen Chi and his entourage have walked in the Qingchuan Valley, where bandits and bandits are rampant and often common, and they have faced danger many times, all of which have relied on Gao Qian's superb martial arts to solve the siege, so he has added a few more scars to his body in the past two years.

But despite this, for Cen Chi, he is still determined to only treat this high potential at the head of the ten families as the eyes and ears of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Three years ago, when he learned of Lin Shan's death, Cen Chi also inadvertently discovered some other things in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which vaguely proved that the Prime Minister's power was having an affair with the killer group that murdered Lin Shan, which made Cen Chi disgusted the Prime Minister for the first time.

If Lin Shan was still alive, Cen Chi might be able to ignore this point of the festival, at most he would just leave the Prime Minister's Mansion; But if something really happened to Lin Shan, Cen Chi would definitely do whatever it took to make the Prime Minister's Mansion cut flesh and bleed.

This was the decision Cen Chi made when he left the Prime Minister's Mansion three years ago.

In the past three years, as the road under his feet has become farther and farther, but again and again he has only gained disappointment, this determination in his heart has become deeper and deeper. How could he have a good impression of a person sent by the Prime Minister to spy on him? As for Gao Qian's several adventures to save him from danger, in his opinion, it was just Gao Qian's fulfillment of his loyalty to the prime minister, and he was also ruthless.

Knowing that Gao Qian fed the horse, according to his careful and patient style, he would not be able to come back for a while, Cen Chi's face softened slightly, and he said casually: "He is really cautious as always, but it's a pity that he stepped on the wrong grid." ”

Fang Wuliuyun's eyebrows were raised, and instead of immediately trying to debunk another meaning that might exist in Cen Chi's words, he smiled and said, "It's not okay to be careful." If it weren't for those three horses, we might have been stuck here for a month. This place is so remote that if you lose your horses, not only will you not be able to find them back, but you will not be able to buy a few more. ”

After leaving the town where Lin Shan lived in seclusion, Cen Chi and his party galloped for two hours, stopping at noon under another unfamiliar town's teahouse, but in fact this was not the place they planned to rest today.

According to the plan, they should skip the town, which is more remote than the previous stop, and rush to Shakou County, about 200 miles away, before dark, and then change the horses into carriages, and repair them before hitting the road.

On the way from western Sichuan to Beidi, Cen Chi and his entourage originally traveled in a carriage, but they were robbed by rogues halfway. The target of the rogue looting was only property, and as soon as the other party came up, he directly slashed one of the wheels of the carriage with his sword, and then shaved off the roof of the car...... With the courage of one person, although he successfully killed the four rogues, he had no spare strength to protect the carriage, and finally Gao Qian snatched the two horses of the rogues in turn, and the three of them fled the scene on horseback.

It's just that in this way, after sleeping in the open for a few nights, it took Cen Chi more than two years to stabilize the toxins in his body, and there were signs of rebellion. In the past few days, his face has obviously been a little abnormal again, and he must try his best to reach the county seat with more comprehensive environmental facilities to make adjustments.

The reason why Cen Chi left the Prime Minister's Mansion three years ago was to find Fang Wu, and use his immortal technique of devouring fog and dew to dissolve the strange poison in himself, and at the same time, he also had the slightest idea of looking for the medicine ghost Liao Shi to seek a way to detoxify.
