Someone once told Ye Yu that one day, he would let the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers belong to him. But when he said this, the man was still a fourteen-year-old boy, and his nose and face were swollen and he fell to the mud floor, and he was very embarrassed.

Now, although his ambition is only half realized, in the land of Chu State, the stars shining in the sky at this moment still cannot belong to him alone. The lake in front of you is calm, and the distant mountains blend in with the night, so the light of the fire jumping by the lake always makes people feel like they can light up the world.

Lin Chen looked around to find Ye Yu's figure, but the light was too dim and he could only see the vague shadows of the trees. The melodious flute sounded at the right time, disturbing the night breeze. He followed the sound and finally found Nightfeather in a large tree. She leaned her back against the branch, her right leg was erect, and her left leg was suspended in mid-air, which was particularly natural and free. Seeing that Lin Chen had found her, she stopped and sat down, reached out and patted the position on her side.

"Why don't you ask me why I go to Nanjun day and night?" Ye Yu asked lightly, "Lin Chen's head can be exchanged for a considerable amount of silver taels, aren't you afraid that I will sell you?" ”

Lin Chen didn't answer, just leaned over and put on the cloak he brought to Ye Yu, and tied the tie into a very beautiful knot in a slightly unfamiliar way. Night Feather didn't react from beginning to end, only lowered her eyes to look at the pair of bony and elegant hands, and her skin looked even paler in the night. Anyone would feel tired in such a hurry, Ye Yu didn't really want to talk, but she wasn't used to having someone around to sit quietly with her, it was a strange feeling.

"Why do you want to be so vicious?" Lin Chen's voice was very flat and slow, he sat upright, his eyes on the warm yellow flames by the lake, "I can see that you don't like to kill, so you don't need to deliberately do it to test me." I can tell you with certainty that I have no intention of harming you. There are some things I don't have a clue about yet, and they do concern you, but I just want to get to the bottom of it. ”

Night Feather listened to his every word, but there was no reaction: "Why did you suddenly tell me this?" ”

Lin Chen smiled calmly: "It is said in the rivers and lakes that 'one more enemy is better than one more friend', which is quite reasonable." Maybe I'd rather have someone to talk to me well, without metaphors, temptations, or threats. ”

"Don't worry, I'm kind." Ye Yu said that she smiled, she stretched out her right hand, and placed a jade plaque in the palm of her hand, on which was carved with a hollow "Qing" character with complicated craftsmanship. Lin Chen didn't know why, and he didn't reach out to take it.

This kind of person is really enough, and he persuades her to believe him in every word, but he himself doesn't even dare to accept her things.

"This jade brand Chu Jun also has it, nothing special. At most, it only allows you to go south and north without starving and colding. As long as it is a shop under the name of Qingheju, seeing this jade plaque will provide you with all you need. ”

As soon as the words fell, the murderous aura in Ye Yu's eyes suddenly appeared, but Lin Chen reacted faster, grabbed her wrist with one hand, and jumped down the tree with her and landed steadily. Two hidden weapons flew over where the two had just been, piercing into the ground.

Almost instantly, dozens of black-clothed men appeared on all sides and surrounded the two of them in the center, their weapons glowing with cold light. didn't give the two a chance to relax, dozens of people raised their knives in unison, and every move and style was a direct kill.

Lin Chen's swordsmanship is good, one person is enough to deal with it, Ye Yu doesn't need to draw his sword, and he holds the jade flute in his right hand to block the knife from time to time. The two of them always had their backs to each other, and no amount of tricky attacks could separate them. Ye Yu felt a moment of surprise in her heart, feeling that the tacit understanding between her and Chu Jun for so many years seemed to be inferior to her and this man who had only known each other for a few months.

The man in black is obviously well-trained, and it is indeed difficult to deal with an ordinary killer who does not look like him, but he is not an opponent of the two. Ye Yu still had the leisure to look at Lin Chen a few times while resisting, she had to admit that she had never seen anyone who could use the sword so superbly, which made people look at it in amazement. The killer who was fighting with Night Feather thought that Lin Chen was distracted, and gave his accomplice a delusional look. But before she could get closer, she leapt behind the man and snapped his neck.

In just a moment, most of the men in black fell, and the leader blew a long whistle to lead the people to retreat. Lin Chen put away his sword and dusted off the floating soil on his body. Ye Yu looked at the corpses on the ground and found that they were all sealed with a sword, but Lin Chen, on the other hand, did not even have half a drop of blood on his body.

is so neat and calm, there must be a lot of lives in his hands.

Night Feather raised her eyebrows, and then thought about it, who isn't?

"None of these people use hidden weapons."

Lin Chen was very sure, and Ye Yu also agreed. This group of killers is not from the ghost sect, but she is very familiar with the move formation. It's just that they're good at hiding, and it's hard for even experts to find out. In this way, it seems that someone wants to remind them of those two hidden weapons, which means that there are still people hiding in the shadows to observe their every move.

"Is there anyone you love and hate at the same time?" Ye Yu leaned on his horse and looked at Lin Chen for a long time.

Lin Chen looked very helpless: "...... No. ”

"Maybe you don't know." Night Feather looked at the dark woods and pondered for a while, and then said, "Who made you look too attractive." ”

Lin Chen, who was about to get on the horse, was shocked when he heard this, and he almost didn't stand firm.

Ye Yu glanced at him: "No, no, why are you so excited." ”

Imperial capital, Prime Minister's Mansion.

The three-day deadline set by Jun Mubai will be the last day when it is dawn, and Rao is Zhou Wenxuan is also panicked now. He guessed that if that person really didn't die, he would definitely go to Nanjun when he heard the news, so he arranged a killer on the way to go, which could be regarded as a dead horse as a live horse doctor, at least to deal with Jun Mubai's side.

So far, he hasn't received any news back, and he can't sit still.

Suddenly, someone appeared outside the window, knocked lightly on the lattice, and went straight through the window. Zhou Wenxuan's expression changed suddenly when he saw the person coming, and he put down the sword in his hand and saluted immediately. The man was dressed in night clothes, his facial features were delicate and heroic, and he had an aura of not being angry and arrogant.

This next week, Wenxuan felt that his head hurt again, and the matter of this big Buddha was even more tricky: "Lord, subordinates have found a breakthrough, once it is confirmed, the crisis can be resolved." ”

"Breakthrough?"

"Yes." Zhou Wenxuan nodded, "Jun Mubai's former confidant may not have been buried in the fire, and she probably has a talisman in her hand to mobilize a million troops." If you can use her, the current predicament will be solved. ”

The man's eyes flashed with surprise for a moment, and then returned to normal: "I'm afraid it's not so easy to use her." ”

"Nope." Zhou Wenxuan's tone was full of confidence, "The death of one person is enough for her and Jun Mubai to turn against each other forever." Moreover, there seems to be a force behind us to help us. ”

The man's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and half of his face in the shadows was like an invisible abyss.
