The night in Jinling is so quiet, but there seem to be exceptions.

Night Feather avoided the guards in the courtyard of the mansion and quietly went out of the mansion, sneaking into the general's mansion and entering the study with a familiar car. Recently there was news that Da Chu's army had suffered a one-sided massacre somewhere. Emperor Dachu was furious because of this incident and ordered a thorough investigation and blocked the news, so what happened at that time could only be found in the General's Mansion.

There were dozens of letters on the bookcase, most of which were sent back from the border, and the secret transfer of troops by the Chu Emperor always had to be cooperated with by this general who held military power. Turning to the bottom, Night Feather saw what she was looking for.

There are only a few words on the paper: Dayu Lin Xuan, rouge heavy riding.

The fire outside the window suddenly lit up, and Night Feather didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly classified the items as jumping onto the beam.

"General, the border pass is a secret letter, the matter is very important, I hope you will deal with it in time."

"Got it."

As soon as the words fell, the door of the study was pushed open from the outside, and the old general sat down behind the desk to open the letter, and frowned after reading a few words. The angle of Ye Yu's hiding place is a little off, and it is not clear what is written in the secret letter, but there is a hunch that something big should have happened in the army.

The old general's hand holding the letter slowly lowered and put it on the bookcase, and when his eyes fell on the letter on the corner of the table, his eyes suddenly cold, and he subconsciously looked up in the direction of Ye Yu. Almost at the same time, she jumped off the beams of the room, and the sword wind blew out the candles in the room, and jumped out of the window.

"Give me chase! Let's just say that there are assassins in the house, who dares to talk more, and the military law will deal with it! The old general's face was gloomy, looking in the direction that Ye Yu had left, and the hand hanging by his side clenched a little.

The people of the General's Mansion are not a bunch of rubbish. After Night Feather was chased for a few streets, the thought kept spinning in her head. Blame her for her bad luck, who knew that a secret letter would suddenly arrive in the middle of the night.

She didn't know where she was, it looked like a small garden. Those people are chasing too closely, and it's not the way to keep running. She dodged to the ground, climbed over the wall, jumped up to the second floor and hid in a random room.

But before she could stand firmly, there was a cold sensation around her neck, and the blade of the sword pressed against her skin.

So fast.

She didn't move, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the sound of officers and soldiers running downstairs. However, it seems that the situation is more dangerous now.

"Who are you?"

The sword-wielding man's wrist swirled slightly, and a pain came from his neck. Lin Chen didn't care how many people could be frightened by such a cold voice, she only knew that the person who dared to hurt her was the second person besides Qi Tian, who didn't know whether to live or die.

The figure turned suddenly, and at some point, the dagger in his left hand stabbed straight into the throat of the person behind him. The man reacted extremely quickly and dodged sideways, and Night Feather had already figured out his course of action, drew his sword out of its sheath, and pulled a few sword flowers to force him to take a few steps back, keeping a safe enough distance from her.

The moonlight entered the house, casting a pale light and shadow between the two. Night Feather stared at the vague and long figure standing in the shadows, and said, "I'm sorry Childe, I really had to offend in the middle of the night, and I didn't have any other intentions. ”

Hearing this, the figure suddenly withdrew his sword and walked forward slowly. When Night Feather saw who it was by the moonlight, she wanted to kill someone.

"Night girl?"

That's right, it's Lin Chen. She frowned in response, sat down unceremoniously on the soft slump behind her, and reached out to touch the wound on her neck. It didn't hurt much, it just cut the skin and bleed a little.

Lin Chen lit a lamp and handed her a bottle of wound medicine. Ye Yu looked at the hand that stopped in front of her, and was stunned for a moment and reached out to take it, but it was useless to put it aside. Ye Yu saw that she was dressed in a black power suit, and then thought of the officers and soldiers who had chased her just now, and roughly understood what was going on, so she just sat at the round table and looked at her, and did not speak.

"You don't want to threaten me with something?" Ye Yu covered his wound and tilted his head to look at him, his expression smiling rather than smiling.

Lin Chen raised his lips: "Then I threaten you, if you don't help me, I will hand you over to the officers and soldiers." ”

"Wait, I'm not done yet." Ye Yu sat upright, and when she saw Lin Chen's deferential appearance, she suddenly had the feeling that he was teasing her, "What you threaten me, the conditions I offer will not change." ”

"It's stubborn."

Night Feather couldn't listen to this unhurried tone the most, and she couldn't get out of her temper when she wanted to. So he stood up and straightened his clothes, bowed his head and asked him, "If I invite you to drink, I will thank you for today's events, will you go?" ”

Lin Chen didn't shirk, picked up the sword and planned to go out: "Where are you going?" ”

Ye Yu met his gaze and said with a smile: "Everyone in the Great Chu Kingdom knows that their prime minister loves wine as much as his life, and this backyard wine cellar has a lot of good wine. I don't know if the wine there can get into the eyes of the child? ”

"Reluctantly." Lin Chen opened the door and went out first, but it made the latter feel a sense of powerlessness to be disliked.

Many times, Night Feather said that he was a bandit who burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil. When she was happy, she went to the prime minister's house to drink, and when she was unhappy, she burned the yard of a certain dog official, daring and lawless. Lin Chen didn't know about her "exploits", so she took him to hide from the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion as familiarly as if she were in her own home.

Prime Minister Zhou Wenxuan can be said to be under one person and above tens of thousands of people in the Chu State. Lin Chen didn't know much about him, he only knew that the first thing Emperor Chu did after he ascended the throne was to promote Zhou Wenxuan, who was in the fifth rank of the official residence at that time, to the prime minister, from obscurity to one step to the sky, shocking the government and the opposition. If such a person wants to say that the city is not deep, no one will believe it. But Ye Yu felt that Zhou Wenxuan's mind was very understandable, and it was good to think about a few more bends in everything.

Lin Chen took the wine she had picked, thought about what she said again, and felt that it didn't seem to be wrong.

The spring cold is steep, and when the night wind blows, the cold seems to penetrate into the cracks of the bones, causing people to feel cold all over the body. Ye Yu, a person who was extremely afraid of the cold, was now sitting on the roof of his house with Lin Chen, as if he couldn't feel anything.

She tilted her head, hugged the wine jar, and her eyes were fixed on Lin Chen's body. The ink hair is high and the contours are distinct, no matter how you look at it, it is the standard mold of the dragon and phoenix among people. She burst out laughing and asked, "Have you thought about it, do you want to follow me?" ”

"Not yet, let me think about it." Lin Chen glanced back at her and poured a sip of wine with a smile.

Lin Chen retracted his gaze and looked at the stacked roof tiles in the distance, it was pitch black, and there was no light.

"You haven't told me what I'm going to do with you."

"Actually, I haven't thought about it yet, but it seems like a good thing for you to be my bodyguard."

"Guards?" Lin Chen seemed a little surprised.

Ye Yu nodded, expressing affirmation: "Li Shentong should have told you that his nemesis should have told you that you and he have to do the same thing, protect my safety, carry out all kinds of orders, or kill people, or help me buy a few buns." ”

The last sentence made Lin Chen laugh out loud, recalling the previous way of playing in the inn Ye Yu who was not afraid of injury and death, and asked directly when he thought of something: "You don't seem to be afraid of death?" Like, you're not worried that I'm going to kill you. ”

As he spoke, Ye Yu poured half a jar of wine into it, making Lin Chen slightly stunned.

She said: "I've lived enough, and I've died once, so I'm not afraid." Especially if I die, it doesn't matter what it does to anyone else. ”

"Then there will be changes from now on." Lin Chen snatched the wine jar from her hand and added before she could speak, "If you die, who will I be a guard?" That's how you live to connect with me. ”

The empty wine jar placed next to it rolled down the eaves, fell to the ground and shattered, and the loud noise attracted the guards in the courtyard to look, and saw that Ye Yu was sitting upright and had no killing intent and retreated. Only Ye Yu herself knew that there was a string in her heart that was cut off by Lin Chen's words.

It seems that someone said to her like this, "Only by living can you have the strength to protect your family"

It's not good, it's not good.

"Do you have ideals?"

"There have been," Ye Yu replied faintly

"And now?"

"Don't dare to think about it again"

Later, she snatched the wine from Lin Chen's hand, and drank so much that her head was swollen and the pain was unbearable. She simply stopped opening her eyes to see the world spinning, and she didn't care where she leaned on.

After she fell asleep, Lin Chen looked at the woman leaning on his shoulder and sighed. He didn't seem to have told her that Li Shentong had never told him anything bad about her, and the most he said was: sometimes watching her laugh makes people feel particularly worried.

He picked her up and jumped off the roof to carry her back to her room. Li Shentong also said that she would never take herself seriously. Looking at the wound on her neck, Night Feather somewhat understood the meaning of that sentence.

Night Feather, Night Talk?

Why give yourself such a name?

I want to forget the past that has passed, but I force myself to remember it in this way.

Sometimes, they really resemble each other.
