Chapter 1: The First Snow
The fire was beating in the room.
A soft voice rang out.
"Sir, it's snowing outside again. β
Sitting in front of the fire, she slowly stretched out a hand, lifted the curtains, and looked out.
Heavy snow falls on the top of Xiaoshuang Mountain.
Every year on a snowy day, she will come here to worship "Mr. Zhao Rui", who has been very kind to her.
At this moment, in front of her, there is a portrait of Mr. Zhao Rui, as well as the old rune paper left by Mr. back then, after those two anti-heaven prophecies came true, the handwriting on the rune paper became blurred.
Perhaps after the prophecy came true, the rune paper was meaningless.
Or maybe...... It was the years that wore away the handwriting on the rune paper.
"It's been three years......"
In the past three years, the first snow of every year has been like this.
The blind man Qi Rust, and the Taoist priest Wen Tao are also sitting in the room at the moment.
The three of them surrounded the fire in the small frost building, and the heat swirled in the house, rising, Ye Changfeng's predecessors' "child" was brought back from the sky, and they were placed in the sword niche of the small frost building.
The small frost building is no longer inhabited.
But it was still cleaned.
Gu Xiaoyu would come to Xiaoshuang Building regularly to wipe and clean, not only him, but also other peaks, and even the disciples of the Yin Sect, without the need for the elders to speak, would consciously come here to be on duty.
At this moment. The atmosphere in the room was quiet and a little stiff.
The three of them surrounded the fire, looking at the broken life card, the inside of the life card was broken into a spider web, but the outside was still intact...... This is Ning Yi's life card.
On the day of Tiandu, after the fate card was shattered, the news of Ning Yi's fall spread.
This half-broken life card was regarded as a treasure by Wen Tao, a blind man with a thousand hands, and from time to time he would come to Xiaoshuang Building to see if the life card was intact and whether it continued to crack.
If the life card is cracked, it is actually equivalent to "death".
There was never a single life card, it was split in half, and then it solidified, as if it were ...... Time has stood still.
Outside the house, it was snowing heavily.
Gu Xiaoyu, who was dressed in a wide black robe, the skeleton of his body had already developed, and because of his congenital deficiency when he was young, he still had some yellow muscles and thin muscles, but the eyes of the whole person were full of spirituality, and if he restrained his smile, he would exude a faint sword intent all over his body.
He carried the "broken frost" behind his back, and stood silently in front of the small frost building, and the three masters were in the building, so he quietly guarded outside the building.
Mr. Ning...... Three years have passed. β
Gu Xiaoyu took a deep breath, his eyes a little gloomy.
In his most difficult year, it was also such a heavy snowfall, in the ice and snow of Xiling, it was Mr. Ning who saved himself.
He entered Shu Mountain by himself, and Uncle Ning carried him.
And now, he has grown up, but Uncle Ning is gone.
"Shushan is very warm, I like it here. Here are the people I am very important to. β
Uncle Ning's words before going down the mountain were still engraved in Gu Xiaoyu's mind.
He sat cross-legged in the snow, stuck the broken frost in the snow, pressed his hands on his knees, his hair was dyed white, gritted his teeth, and muttered, "Little uncle, are you really still alive?"
......
......
"Believe me, being alive is sometimes not a good thing. β

The firelight of the Tiandu Law Enforcement Division jumped slightly.
Reflecting a hideous face.
Gongsun Yue calmly looked at the sinner who was tortured on the cross, he was wearing a bright red young master head linen robe, with his hands behind his back, looking at the bloody "human form" on the cross, and said softly: "Give you another chance...... Three years ago, what was your relationship with Li Bailin?"
The forces of the Western Frontier collapsed in the coup d'Γ©tat in Tiandu, and the surging tide struck, burning those "old people" who were once close to the three princes.
This tide set the heavens on fire.
However...... Only the skin was burned, and the bones remained.
Gongsun Yue never thought that under that fierce tide, he not only did not receive the impact, but lived a ...... It's better than before, the third prince is dead, and the biggest backer behind him has fallen.
However, the new backer did not order himself to be killed directly, but instead gave himself a position of real power.
Gongsun Yue once thought about the reason.
All of this is probably thanks to his "performance" at the Lotus Dojo.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have a trace of "appreciation" for himself.
In the past three years, he has ordered the arrest of old people who have cooperated with the Western Territory, and in the years he has served the Western Territory, most of Li Bailin's authority has been used in the files he has written, and he can easily find out the power network of the Western Territory...... I have found many "old friends" who have had one or several faces.
Intimidation, ill-treatment, promises of release...... Then killing them has become an indispensable pleasure in Gongsun Yue's life.
He raised a hand, and the attendant beside him immediately understood, handed over a hot and reddish soldering iron, he gently held the iron, and slowly advanced it on the forehead of the sinner on the cross, until it penetrated the skull, and the fiery red color of the soldering iron slowly dissipated, cooled, and the blood coagulated.
Gongsun Yue did not splash a drop of blood on his body.
But the rich bloody atmosphere between his sleeves can't be dissipated, and the Law Enforcement Division has become a forbidden place that makes people "smell the wind and change color" in the past three years, some people say that this is Tiandu Liuli Mountain, and some people say that they are as ruthless as Han Yue in southern Xinjiang.
Gongsun Yue walked out of the Law Enforcement Department and said secretly, he looked at the clearing, and pieces of snow fell on his robe, and he felt a little cold.
The man with a hideous face frowned, and pulled the robe on his body, after disfigured his appearance in the Western Realm and joined the camp of the Three Princes, he didn't try to practice...... has enough resources, but his qualifications are really limited, no matter how he cultivates, he can only go to the middle realm, and now the prince is willing to reuse him, he has killed an unknown number of people, set up an unknown number of enemies, and always beware of assassin assassinations.
As soon as Gongsun Yue walked out of the dark passage, an envoy from the Law Enforcement Department immediately walked out of the shadows.
These are the characters that the crown prince gave to himself.
Gongsun Yue walked out of the Law Enforcement Division with a blank face, and stood in the open space for a while, as if thinking about life.
After a moment, he lifted his sleeve, sniffed lightly, and then slowly walked to the carriage outside the mansion door.
When he did these things, he didn't look back, didn't look at the "gifts" of the prince, and let them stand in the shadows, and everyone kept a steady distance.
These people are both gifts and poisons, and everything they do, every word and deed, will be recorded in their eyes.
Maybe one day the prince doesn't need himself, these people are the fastest and most direct sword.
If you give yourself life, you can naturally give yourself death.
In the past three years, it has looked ...... He lived boldly and
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
and wantonly, killing, Ling Chi, exposing corpses, and continuing to kill.
But in fact, walking on thin ice.
He couldn't trust anyone but the young man who had been following him.
Gu Qian sat in the carriage and watched Gongsun Yue get into the car, the tip of his nose smelled the strong smell of death, and for three years, he still hadn't gotten used to this disgusting smell...... He couldn't stand the scene of the dead, and he couldn't get used to the methods of the Law Enforcement Department to treat his "colleagues", so he would never enter the Law Enforcement Division with Gongsun Yue.
"Deliberately spent a little more time outside. β
Gongsun Yue Muran opened his mouth, which was an explanation, and said: "The person on Line 31 is dead, this clue can be crossed out, and we will go to Xiling again in three days." β
Gu Qian nodded, he spread the official book on his knees, and after silently writing it down, he said, "According to the rules...... These have to be handed over to the palace, but this time they have changed places. β
"Changed places?"
Gongsun Yue frowned.
In the past three years, every operation he has done in the Law Enforcement Department has been sent to the palace...... It was up to the prince to examine it himself.
"East Chamber. Where Miss Xu lives. β
"Xu Qingyan?" Gongsun Yue's expression was not good-looking, and he said coldly: "What does this mean, the dark case file of the Law Enforcement Department is going to be handed over to an outsider...... What was Li Baijiao thinking? Besides, if I remember correctly, the woman surnamed Xu does not live in the East Chamber. β
Gu Qian shook his head and didn't say much.
Gongsun Yue was silent for a moment and then asked, "Is it Xu Qingyan's meaning, or the prince's meaning?"
"It's not yet known. Gu Qian said succinctly: "But it is said that ...... After Miss Xu came back from Changling, her temperament changed a lot, the last time you and I were not in Tiandu City, the Law Enforcement Department killed a group of old officials in the Western Realm, and she took the initiative to ask to see it. β
When Gu Qian said this, his expression was a little pale.
Ask yourself, he can't do it himself, it's not that compassion is overflowing, he Gu Qian is not that he can't see the dead, it's just that the methods of the dark department of the Law Enforcement Department are too cruel, killing people and cooking corpses can only be regarded as pediatrics, which is completely different from people like Gongsun Yue who are cold by nature, he can accept the blood splashed at the execution scene, but he can't accept the despair of those people who screamed and screamed before they died.
Everyone killed in the shadows did not blink an eye.
And that's what the shadows are all about.
Let all the Great Sui officials feel afraid.
The young man sat in the carriage, he slowly clenched his fingertips, and his finger bones made a slight "click" sound that he could not quite imagine...... Why did that woman, who was as white as paper, take the initiative to see the execution in the shadows?
It was getting dark.
The carriage approached the east chamber.
Gongsun Yue looked at the fire lit up in the dark night in the East Wing Pavilion, frowned, and said: "If I remember correctly, after that incident, she went to Luojia Mountain, and stayed on the mountain for more than two years......
The voice came suddenly.
Gongsun Yue seemed to be lost in thought.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes her very much. Gu Qian said meaningfully: "No matter what she asks...... The crown prince will not refuse. β
The voices in the carriage suddenly stopped.
Gongsun Yue's fingertips tapped lightly on the window sill of the carriage.
He asked slowly:
"You say, that person, is he really dead?"
