The silver-masked man looked at Zixin coldly, "You can't save him, you'll only hurt him." Zixin looked up suddenly, the look seemed very familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"The world is in turmoil, if you really cherish your talent, how can you ignore him?" Zixin retorted. The sword in his hand was unstoppable, and blood splattered everywhere.

Su Qi chuckled, "If it's too peaceful today?" I've heard that the prime minister is free, and some villains are tight. ”

Chen Ziyi saw that the two seemed to be talking, but they couldn't get over, he was suspicious in his heart, seeing that the other party was overwhelmed and most of the army had lost, Limu had already come to his side, "My lord, withdraw, otherwise we will have no one to spread the news of the Northern Regions." ”

Chen Ziyi gritted his teeth, and saw that the two were still fighting, "Let's go," he turned over and got on the horse, pulling Limu on the horse's back, the two relied on each other back to back, thousands of troops and horses behind them, and blood flowed like a river. I didn't have time to care about Zixin, and tried my best to fight my way out of the encirclement, and my clothes were soaked with blood. The pursuers gradually moved away, Limu rolled down from the horse, Chen Ziyi hurriedly dismounted to check, he was injured, it was not easy to grit his teeth and persist all the way, and he could not move forward.

"General, how are you?" Limu slowly opened his eyes, propped himself up, accidentally pulled the wound, and hissed, "The minister is good, the lord should leave by himself, there is a hidden road to the south from here, leading directly to the smoke capital, and the minister will lead them away first." ”

Chen Ziyi heard the rustling of trees behind him, and there was a cave not far away that could accommodate him, and he dragged Limu there, "The general is hidden, I will make some arrangements outside, as long as the general is silent, he will be safe." ”

Limu opened his eyes and watched Chen Ziyi busy, using sand to hide the bloodstains, and then spilling the bloodstains elsewhere, using trees as a cover, the cave was bitterly cold, Chen Ziyi frowned, and took off his robe, "The general keeps it to keep it cold." ”

He did not go to Yandu, but to the west, near the plum valley in the west, "Master, the unfilial disciples have come to pay respects." ”

Chen Ziyi knelt down in front of the mountain gate and asked to see the owner of Meigu Valley, and the little boy looked at it for a long time before he recognized that the embarrassed person in front of him was the senior brother of the former relationship. So I quickly went to report.

When the valley owner heard that Chen Ziyi had returned, he only responded lightly, that person was his most proud apprentice, talented and intelligent, but not arrogant, and by no means a wild and untamable person, so he gave him all his money just for Chen Ziyi to inherit Meigu, and he didn't want his heart to be in the Quartet, looking forward to the four seas as his home every day. When he went out of the Plum Valley, he met with the change of the tobacco capital, and from then on, the country was no different from him. In his heart, he only had the young man he met when he was young as a confidant, so he never gave up.

Chen Ziyi returned to Meigu, the scenery in the mountains is the same as before, but after a farewell year, and then looking back at things and people, when the young man was full of spirit, he returned to the master in embarrassment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The man in the high hall, as before, turned coldly and did not want to say more. Chen Ziyi bowed and bowed, "Master, it's time for you to make a decision." ”

The valley lord raised his eyebrows lightly, "You want to involve Meigu as well, do you remember the rules of Meigu?" Hidden from the world. Now you're getting more and more powerful, and you're abandoning your teacher. ”

Chen Ziyi was so anxious that she didn't care about the tone of the valley master, "What Master doesn't know is that I have secretly operated Meigu over the years, in order to prevent changes, so today, I have to take people away." ”

The cold eyes flashed with a determined look, and the two confronted each other for a long time. The Lord of Meigu Valley said coldly, "You are out of Meigu today, and from now on, it doesn't matter if you live or die, you will no longer be a person from Meigu." If this oath is violated, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. ”

Chen Ziyi never expected that the master would be so ruthless, and it was a little difficult to accept it for a while, he slowly hid a tear from the corner of his eye, and those master-apprentice feelings flashed in front of him, as if in his previous life.

"The disciple obeys the order, the master and the apprentice say goodbye today, there is no return date, please take care of the master."

The Lord of Meigu shook his head coldly, but at the moment he went out, he threw a small bottle over, and when he opened it, he saw that it was the best medicine for injuries, and Chen Ziyi's heart was shocked. He looked down, gathered six hundred of his former subordinates, and went out of the Plum Valley.

The gradually gray sky, like his withered state of mind, Mei Ruochan looked at the remaining Buddha bead in his hand, and turned around silently, leaving a place of silence.

"Days are impermanent, and so are the times." The apprentice behind him was puzzled, "Master, what are you talking about?" ”

"It's nothing, let's go," Mei Ruochan walked slowly, it seemed that her steps were extremely heavy, and the little apprentice became cautious, and he was inevitably apprehensive.

Chen Ziyi took Mei Ying directly to the Northern Regions, and after a delay of four or five days, the matter of Beiwu must be a foregone conclusion, so the target of the people behind the scenes will be the Northern Regions. The group dressed up as merchants from the Northern Regions to listen to the news.

"I heard that someone in Beiwu wants to seize the ore vein, and the two sides are fighting fiercely, and the head of the Qu family has also arrested a person and locked him in a secret room for interrogation, you say, who has so much courage?"

"Maybe it's the Duan family? However, the Duan family has always been friendly with the Qu family, I think it is the Mi family, and the only one who you think is capable of doing this in the Northern Regions is the Mi family. ”

When everyone heard the Mi family, they suddenly stopped talking and dispersed. Chen Ziyi pursed her lips. There was a person passing by, and when he looked down, he saw the simple small print on the corner of the table. Special paper, with a small Mi character at the inscription.

Midnight.

The young master of the Mi family arrived as promised, and Chen Ziyi served tea and waited.

"The situation in the northern region is critical, the ore veins have been seized, the three of them used the ore veins as a balance, and now the balance has been broken, and I heard that Qufu has come to a guest in the past few days, it seems that it is not simple." He said worriedly.

"Is the man wearing a half-mask?"

"Exactly."

"Do you think that with your Mi Mansion family, will you have the ability to compete with the two major families of Quduan?" Chen Ziyi asked.

Mi Gongzi shook his head, "The Mi family has not caused trouble for many years, although it has strength to protect itself, if you rashly fight against the two major families, you are afraid that both will lose and the family will be in danger." ”

The meaning of the words is obvious, Chen Ziyi did not force it, but said when Mi Gongzi was about to leave, "Gongzi should not only have Mi family in his heart, otherwise he will not get into trouble with the rivers and lakes, Mingzhe protects himself but is a temporary grievance, why not be happy and enmity in all directions, this is the true character of a man." ”

Mi Gongzi paused for a moment and walked away quickly.

Northern Qufu.

Su Qi has become a guest of honor in Qu Mansion, Qu Huan Chu respects him very much, and obeys his words, he used to be a military general, and he feels that there is no force that cannot solve the affairs of the world. Since hearing about the ore vein, I have changed my previous opinion. The veins were in his hands, bringing him endless wealth and inflating his appetite at the same time.

"Master of the family, are you willing to be with others? The Northern Regions have been in a three-legged situation for a long time, and now it couldn't be better. ”

Su Qi said with a smile, his eyes were full of shrewdness and calculation, and every word reached Qu Huanchu's heart.

The man didn't care, "There is nothing wrong with the three families juxtaposing, I control the lifeblood of the Duan family, and I also control the military power of the Northern Regions, but I just overhand." ”

Su Qi folded the fan and shook it lightly, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that the talent of the head of the family will be feared." ”

Qu Huan Chu looked at him and knew that Su Qi meant something, "It's just some reckless martial artists, what big waves can they make?" ”

"The head of the family is confident, but I'm afraid it's too late." Su Qi said helplessly, "I thought that the head of the Qu family was different and could be worthy of the lord of the Northern Regions. ”

Qu Huan Chu raised his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, he spoke softly. "Childe Mo didn't want to test me, Qu is a mediocre person."

"What if I say, 'I have the power to help you?'"

Can't see the man's expression clearly, Qu Huan Chu was obviously a little anxious, and deliberately suppressed his tone, "How can Gongzi want Qu to believe you?" ”

"Have you forgotten how you got the vein, I can give it to you, and naturally you can easily take it away. It's just the Northern Regions, as long as the Qu family master is willing to cooperate, he will naturally not lose you. ”

Su Qi picked up the pen on the table, dipped it in ink, and wrote the word King of Chu, Qu Huan Chu's heart tightened suddenly, like the light of the clouds, the thoughts he had hidden for a long time were nothing to hide in front of this young man, he could see all his calculations, and couldn't help frowning a little.

"Since Childe said so, Qu Huan Chu is disrespectful, if Childe needs any help, you can try to tell me."

"I want you to find a way to provoke Duan, Mi and the two families are suspicious, so that they will both lose."

Qu Huan Chu responded, Su Qi went out of the house, and made some precise arrangements, and then stopped, he was in the next big game of chess, and the Mi family is an indispensable key chess piece, the strength of the Mi family is unfathomable, he obviously feels that the reservation of Chen Ziyi may be ambitious, or it may be something else. He turned off the lights, but he still couldn't sleep.

Every step is within his plan, but Chen Ziyi, whether it will be the last variable is still unknown, fortunately he has other arrangements in his hands. Five or six days have passed, and there has been no news. The wind was a little tight tonight, and he didn't like it, it didn't make people have time to get irritable. simply lit the requiem incense, and then fell asleep peacefully.

The Duan family is good at martial arts, the Mi family is secluded, there should be no intersection, this day the second son of the Duan Mansion went out to wander, and met the side branch of the Mi family, so he became competitive, next to it is a martial arts platform. So the second son of Duan and Mi An, who was next to the Mi family, openly provoked, competed in the ring, Mi An accidentally killed the second son of the Duan family, and pierced the heart with a sword. He also panicked, looking at the person who fell to the ground and vomited blood, and was at a loss.

"Someone, bring him back."

"I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone, I obviously started lightly." But no one listened to him, and the people of the Duan Mansion rudely pressed him away and handed him over to Duan Chang for disposal. Duan Chang had just returned from the barracks. At first glance, I heard that my second son had died, and I was saddened. Seeing Mi An, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and was about to cut him alive with a knife.

Just as he was about to go under the knife, he saw the young master of the Mi family appear in the Duan Mansion, "Uncle Duan is slow, the matter has not been clarified, and he can't make judgments." ”

"So what do you think is going to do about it?" Duan Chang asked.

"Our two families are in the middle, why don't you let the head of the Qu family be a judge, uncle, you should be trustworthy, right?" Mi Shaozhu calmly analyzed.

"Okay, that's up to you, but I'll only give you one day."

The young master of the Mi family wanted to take people away, but was blocked.

"He's going to stay here, or what if the people run away." Duan Changyan said, the young man was angry, "Does the head of the Duan family believe in my Mi family? ”

"Naturally not, I'm just here for everyone's peace of mind. You're right? ”

The young master of the Mi family smiled faintly, "That's what Uncle said." ”
