On the outskirts of Liesun City, two horse-drawn carriages were moving slowly. Four well-drawn carriages were loaded with the grain and grass needed for the journey. A man sat at the front desk, holding a whip in his hand, driving the horses. The horses are all good horses that have been resting for many days and are full of energy, but on this dirt road that is not easy to walk, even the best horses have to slow down.

Further on, there is a small lake, which reflects a dazzling light through the sun's scorching surface, and many of the frozen ice on it begins to melt, revealing a thin layer of ice.

The rider waved his whip, and the docile horse had already turned its course.

Sikong Xi sat on the back of the carriage and straightened his legs to stabilize his body. At this moment, he suddenly raised his hand and threw the stone in his hand into the frozen lake, smashing out an ice hole. He cheered and tugged at the ancient key beside him, as if asking him for credit.

The ancient key that was contemplating was suddenly pulled by Sikong Xi, and the thoughts that were swirling away were all squeezed into his mind again.

"Senior brother, look at it!" Sikong Xi pointed to the ice cave in surprise.

"What is this?" Gu Key suppressed his anger, squinted his eyes to look at the ice cave, and couldn't help laughing, "Look at me!" ”

He picked up a copper baht in his bag, straightened up like a bow, and only heard a "bang", and the copper baht had already broken through the wind, and with a stirring of the small lake, a larger ice cave was smashed.

"How?" The ancient key stared at Sikong Xi.

"Good! How dare you take the money to smash this ice hole! Sikong Xi looked at the smug face and suddenly shouted, "I'll go tell the director!" He'll teach you a lesson! ”

Gu Key was stunned for a moment, and reacted suddenly, he rushed up and grabbed Sikong Xi to prevent him from escaping, "You kid! Dare to calculate me! ”

"No...... No, no, misunderstanding, brother! Director...... Help me! Sikong Xi shouted in panic, and it was inevitable to be beaten.

Yi Yu, who was sitting in front of him and riding a horse, leaned over to look at the two people behind him, and shook his head with a smile.

"You two, stop making trouble." His mouth chewed on the wild silver pill grass he had picked up on the side of the road, and his voice was a little slurred.

Gu Key let go of Sikong Xi at the right time, and the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed. He remembered the things he shouldn't think about again, but how easy is it for a person not to think about the things he cares about the most?

"Director...... Senior brother him. Sikong Xi had actually seen the strangeness of the ancient key a long time ago, but the little episode just now didn't seem to make his mood much better, and he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, as if he felt that he was too useless.

"Time will make him forget, don't worry. Everyone needs to go through this, and everyone will have one of the most important people hidden in their hearts. It's unavoidable, let him be alone for a while. You shouldn't have been competing with him just now, it would only make him hate his uselessness even more. Yi Yu threw down the reins and patted Sikong Xi on the shoulder.

"Is there an important person hidden in everyone's heart?" Sikong Xi was silent, and he also became meaningless and sad. It seems that after such a long time, he still thinks of the girl who has looked at him for a long time and smiles, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Dog, it's time for me to go!"

Dark Twilight, the girl with tears on her face gently wiped the wetness on her face, and looked back at the boy for the last time. She turned around and wanted to leave, but for some reason, she turned back again and looked at the boy for a long time again, but the boy didn't look at the girl because of the little caution in his heart.

The yellow sand is lonely, rolling up withered leaves and sand half a person high. Under the dust, the girl did not tell him that she was really leaving. The boy won't know that it's time for the girl to go, and really go away. The two met each other, just like a long-term acquaintance.

"My name is Qin Yinruo, what is your name?"

Sikong Xi remembered that moment, the dirty girl in front of him had a pair of clear sea-blue eyes. That's the color of the eyes that only people in Mobei can have, and it is only the dead Luo Yin Kingdom. In those sea-blue eyes, there is a deep innocence that a girl should have. A fifteen-year-old girl shouldn't have been so vigilant.

Until the girl met the boy.

In the haze, the girl looked at the ravens on the city in surprise and shouted in surprise, "Dog, look at those big birds!" ”

Sikong Xi subconsciously raised his head and also saw the head of the city. However, the head of the city I saw this time was the head of Liesun City, not the north head of Wushu City. Somehow, Sikong Xi was a little sad. He seemed to understand a little bit why Gu Key was so sad and angry because of Gu Qi.

"Will we meet again?" Sikong Xi asked himself self-deprecatingly, "How come?" ”

……

Directly ahead, the official road connected by the small road was flat and open, but Yi Yu did not drive the carriage to the official road, but continued to travel along the circuitous path. The lake behind grew farther and farther away, but no one threw stones at the ice.

"You've been in doubt for a long time, haven't you?" After being silent for a while, Yi Yu suddenly asked.

"Questions?" Sikong Xi sniffled and tightened the scabbard.

"It's Cheng Bi and they."

"Director, they ...... Has it betrayed us? Sikong Xi asked tentatively, because he had already guessed about it, but he didn't dare to say it.

If you want to leave Liesun City as soon as possible and return to Wushu City, there are a few big living people, and the horsemen should find out that something is wrong. But Yi Yu didn't say a word to Cheng Bi and them, if this situation can occur, then there will only be betrayal. But this is really normal, after all, Cheng Bi asked to go to Liesun City together, and he must have a bad heart in his heart.

It is more likely that from the very beginning, Yi Yu had already regarded Cheng Bi and them as outcasts.

"You're smart, I've always felt that way." Yi Yu smiled and looked at Sikong Xi with a little appreciation in his eyes, "That's right, Cheng Bi and they have indeed rebelled against us." When Jiang Xi told me this, I couldn't believe it, and even wanted to defend them. They are just children, but what they think in their hearts has already exceeded my expectations, and their misbehavior seems to be not only in the style of life, but also in the mind. Murderous mindset. ”

Sikong Xi was dumbfounded. Yi Yu obviously knew everything, even more so than Sikong Xi's understanding of Cheng Bi.

"It's just that I'm a little strange, how did he take refuge in Lu Chi. Without any signs, Cheng Bi is a person, there are not too many cities, he is full of joy and anger, and he is definitely just a gecko tail driven by others. But he successfully took refuge in Lu Chi, which made me a little strange. According to the normal situation, Lu Chi should have killed this boy of unknown origin, and Lu Chi is a treacherous old fox, wouldn't he know that Cheng Bi came with us? ”

"Could it be that Cheng Bi ...... Someone behind you to instruct you? Sikong Xi asked tentatively, covered in cold sweat.

"Who are the other two people who came with Cheng Bi?" Yi Yu did not answer Sikong Xi, but asked a strange question.

"There is a man named Beitang Sheng...... But another...... I don't quite remember. Sikong Xi wrinkled his nose, unable to think of anything.

"It's called Wu Lead Baht." Gu Key, who was sitting behind the carriage, suddenly spoke, walked to the front desk and sat next to Sikong Xi, but his eyes looked into the distance along the dirt road.

"That's right! That's it! Sikong Xi suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.

"What are the origins of those two entourage?"

"Beitang Sheng is the young head of the Beitang family, and within ten years, he will succeed his father as the new patriarch of the Beitang clan. And Wu Leadbaht is the youngest son of the Wu family, a branch of the Wu family in Liexun City, even if it is his father, he does not have much power. ”

"So, are you saying that there is something wrong with this Beitang Shengda?"

"No, I didn't mean that." Gu Jian said faintly, "It's just that this Beitang family has a strange origin. ”

"That's the thing......" Yi Yu thought for a moment.

"What is it......?" Sikong Xi was caught in the middle, but he couldn't insert a word, and his chest was stuffy.

"The Beitang family's foothold in Wushu City is based on the military exploits gained in the turmoil of twenty years. All of them were once the subjects of the Kozawa Province, and later rebelled against the Kozawa Province and brought extremely favorable information to the Yuya Province. The king of Youya immediately promised the Hokudo clan to be a lord for all eternity. ”

"You're saying there's a good chance they're double agents?" Yi Yu and Sikong Xi said at the same time.

"Quite possibly." Gu Jian said in a low voice, "And Beitang Sheng is a person who is extremely deep in the city, I am afraid that he is temporarily hiding by Cheng Bi's side, also in order not to attract attention, so as to achieve a deeper purpose." ”

"In any case, if they choose to betray at this time, then they are ready for the destruction of the family. Blatantly rebelling against the general, this is a felony to wipe out the entire clan! Yi Yu shook the reins violently, and the aching horse hissed and sped up the kick, and that was the end of the matter. The three of them stopped talking, but there was a tacit understanding in the silence.

"Phew!" Mixed with the sound of violently pumping the horsewhip, Yi Yu let out a low cry and stopped the carriage under a willow tree, "Come down, we will wait here." ”

"Wait? What are you waiting for? Sikong Xi asked subconsciously.

"Shut up." The Ancient Key interrupted him, his gaze gloomy.

"I made a deal with Yan Yitu, and he will help us escape from here."

"Yan Yitu?!" Sikong Xi's eyes widened, and he seemed to be incredulous at Yi Yu's words, "Director! Yan Yitu's words can't be believed! ”

"I know what kind of person Yan Yitu is, and I know him very well. That's why I dared to make a deal with him. Yi Yu stared at Sikong Xi and Gu Key, his eyes burning, "I promise." ”

Sikong Xi was stunned, he felt that Yi Yu in front of him seemed to have exhausted his strength, and said this I promise.

Of course, Yi Yu couldn't tell these two children that his plan had already been clear, and he didn't plan to go back alive. From the moment he decided to leave and make a deal with Yan Yitu, he had already been engraved with the mark of death.

Yi Yu looked back at the road and saw another carriage, the one that had been used to carry Cheng Cheng's group. The groom had already parked the carriage in its place, but he did not get out of it, but just sat on the carriage and waited quietly.

"Gu Key, go and call the groom over, I have something to ask him."

Yi Yu took a deep breath.
