Slightly drunk, it's a good time to reminisce about the past.

Duguhuan also simply put down the wine glass and listened seriously. The magpie is more spiritual.

A woman who has fallen into the rivers and lakes, strictly speaking, is still a female murderer who works for others, how many people care about her past. Maybe it's been a long time since anyone asked about her hometown.

The ancestor of the magpie was a local general in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and the bandits were rampant in the territory under his jurisdiction, and the pursuit and suppression were unfavorable for many years, and the people were repeatedly killed and injured.

Later, after several turns, the family members finally got rid of their lowly status. By the time of the magpie's grandfather's generation, he had already been exiled to Broken Leaf City and opened an inn to do business for a living.

The magpie didn't know what his last name was, and his grandfather and father were always secretive about it, and never talked about the origin of their family name.

I only occasionally heard my grandfather say that they were originally from a big clan in the Central Plains, and because their ancestors made mistakes, they were punished and killed, and their clan membership was removed. This is also the reason why although he took off his lowly status, he did not want to return to the mainland.

When Magpie was six years old, a powerful horse bandit broke into Shattered Leaf City and ransacked the entire city. All the family members died in that massacre.

In a panic, a maid hid her in an abandoned cellar that she used for cheating and gave her a jar of water and jerky.

Because because the magpie once broke her affair with someone, he kept it a secret for her.

Three days later, the reinforcements sent by the Anxi Metropolitan from the towns of Qiuzi and Shule arrived, and the horse bandits set fire to the city of Broken Leaves, and fled westward in a frenzy.

The young magpie noticed the movement outside, and waited until he saw that ** had indeed entered the city before daring to come out. But all her relatives are dead, and her home is nothing but fire and ashes.

At that time, she was only concerned about sadness, and she didn't know what despair was.

When the maid had eaten all the jerky she had left for her, she wandered around the largest well in Shattered Leaf City, waiting for the passing caravan to give her some food.

I came over like that for more than a month, until I met Master.

She once arrived in Tianzhu with a camel caravan, and traveled in Tianzhu for more than three years before finding another opportunity to return to Datang.

Master gave her food and asked her what had happened to her. He asked her if she would like to follow her back to Dongtu. She nodded silently.

On the way back to the East, Master named her Magpie.

"So the magpie girl is also burdened with a sea of blood, so she is so indifferent?" asked Guo Yu softly.

"Actually, I don't remember those things too clearly, even the appearance of my father and grandfather is blurred. ”

“......”

"Moreover, Master has always enlightened me that if I forget the past, I will forget it, and stop thinking about it. ”

"Well, what your master said is also reasonable, but you never thought of revenge for destroying the family feud? Master does not allow you to take revenge?"

"Nope. Master is a jealous and hateful person, who not only taught me the Dharma, but also taught me the art of killing. It's just that the horse bandits are robbing, who can they find to take revenge. Later, Master also asked me if I wanted to take revenge, because my family was six years old when they were killed, and I still remember some things.

However, her old man also said that at that time, she came all the way west from Tianzhu Yuelingling, passing through large and small towns along the way, people were talking about the ruthless looting of Broken Leaf City, and there was righteous indignation in the conversation, such a tragic act naturally angered the master, and she wanted to find the wicked people to eliminate the harm for the common people, but there was no clue about the whereabouts of the horse bandits, so she had no choice but to go on the road and return to the east. A year before I went down the mountain, Master also asked a Buddhist friend who was stationed in a temple in the Western Regions to inquire about the horse bandits, but he also found nothing. As a result, Master began to persuade me to let go of my past grudges.

After all, Master is a monk with advanced cultivation, drawing a knife to cut off evil, sacrificing medicine to save people, just in a thought, I never see her hesitate at all, let alone any confusion and distress. ”

"That's true, but since it's a horse bandit that is strong enough to attack Shatter Leaf City, there must be some relevant accounts in the two major capital protectors of Anxi and Beiting, and those who are big and protect will not ignore them, and they will always find some clues. ”

The magpie looked at Guo Yu in surprise and lowered his head slightly, "What Guo Gongzi said has some truth, but I have never returned to the Western Regions, and I haven't thought about it so much." ”

"If there's nothing left there, why go back and bother in vain. Dugu Huan, who had been silent, waved his hand to Guo Hua, and then said to the magpie: "Your family is very taboo to even talk about surnames, it's nothing more than that you don't want to live in the troubles of the past, if you are trapped by those hatreds, they won't be happy if they know it underground." ”

"Yes. The magpie agreed, looked into Duguhuan's eyes, and nodded deeply.

However, there were still waves in her heart, Guo Hua was right, maybe some clues can always be found in the family feud back then.

"Hahahaha, you two are a good match. ”

Guo Yu suddenly burst out of a sentence, the scene was embarrassing for a while, and a blush appeared on the magpie's originally cold face.

"Brother Guo, don't-"

"It's worthy of your dead head. Without waiting for Dugu Huan to finish speaking, the magpie picked up a wine jug and smashed it on Guo Hua's head, shook it, twisted his face and put it down again, "Hey, ignore you." Brother Dugu, what about you? You are from such a noble background, why are you always depressed when you are surrounded by beautiful clothes and food in the past day?"

"Everyone has secrets. Dugu Huan took a sip of wine and replied tepidly.

In fact, since the day Guo Hua met Dugu Huan, he has been wondering why he has a sad face all day long, not at all like the son of a gentleman born in a wealthy family.

Guo Hua winked her eyes at the magpie and motioned for her to continue asking.

The magpie glanced at Guo Hao, looked back at Dugu Huan with expectant eyes, looked into his eyes, and was silent, but it was even more difficult to refuse.

It was snowing heavily, and two or three new acquaintances would always arouse people's desire to pour out their hearts for six or seven days in such a dark-glazed cellar.

Even a person like Dugu Huan, who is good at silence, stretched out a small hand in his heart, constantly scratching in the depths of the years.

Man is such a strange animal, some secrets to the people close to the dearest do not know where to start, but unexpectedly, like telling a story or a joke, affectionately confiding in the first acquaintance.

Dugu Huan finally looked at the two of them expressionlessly, and there were many voices churning in his heart, and finally he gave in to the voice that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart.

Guo Yu and the others looked at Dugu Huan blankly, he was still silent, his expression gradually changed, and he seemed to have something to say.

Their eyes widened as if a Persian illusionist was about to begin his magical trick. A smug smile appeared in their eyes and on the corners of their mouths.

In the quiet secret room, the candlelight flickered, revealing a little ambiguity, a little mystery, and even a little weirdness in the dimness.

"Ahh

"Ahh

In the boundless silence, two extremely suppressed and terrifying screams suddenly came.

Guo Hua and the magpie's pupils dilated suddenly, the hairs on their bodies stood on end, and fear mixed with bursts of chill penetrated their bodies. Suddenly, it was as if the body was not in a secret room, but in the stomach of a giant beast.

The two were stunned because they saw the face of a fox.

On Dugu Huan's face, his facial features gradually distorted and changed, and finally turned into a cunning and hideous fox face.

Gradually, that face returned to its original state.

"What, it scared you? Dugu Huan stretched, stood up, paced back and forth in front of the two, his face was filled with the ease and smile after the release of long-term resentment, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said smugly, "Ah-it's really strange, I really didn't expect it to be so relaxed and happy." ”

After all, Guo Hua and Magpie are also people who have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and there are already a lot of strange things to see and hear, and soon the two of them came back to their senses.

"Brother Dugu, are you also happy to show us such a face?"

"yes. ”

"Still, I was almost scared to death just now. ”

"Oh - Magpie girl, he didn't say that he was happy to give us that face, it was that he confided this secret with ease and happiness. ”

"Okay. Brother Dugu's secret, have you never told anyone else?"

"Now, apart from me, only the two of you know. Dugu Huan immediately sat down and drank another drink.

When Guo Yu heard this, he watched the magpie make a grimace, and then gestured with his hand to wipe his neck, "Then isn't it very dangerous for the two of us, if you are unhappy one day, are you going to kill us!"

"Go, go, go, Brother Dugu won't be that kind of person. ”

"Well, how could I kill you," Dugu Huan regained his cold expression, "I'm sure you'll keep it a secret for me." ”

Looking at Dugu Huan's cold face, Guo Hua pretended to be scared and fell to the ground screaming.

"Don't scare us, Brother Dugu. The magpie also covered his eyes exaggeratedly and joked, "But, Brother Dugu, why is this a secret? Is this a kung fu or what?"

Just as the two of them continued to look at Dugu Huan, wanting to understand the secret in advance, a crisp copper bell sounded in the secret room.

It's a code to open the door.

If someone is hidden in the secret room, the brass bell will be activated first when someone from outside comes in. And through different and covert methods, you can inform the people hiding in the secret room whether it is safe or lurking danger outside.

"It's Master Zhang who is back. Safe. Of course, the magpie could understand the secret words of the copper bell in this secret room, and looked at Dugu Huan and Guo Yu and said.

"The plan for the breakout is set. ”

As soon as brothers Zhang Jiwu and Zhang Jilin came in, they opened their mouths and said.

Guo Hua and Dugu Huan were overjoyed for a while, but when they listened to Zhang Jiwu's detailed information, their faces darkened again.

It turned out that in these days, An Qingxu, Peacock King, Sanada Kojuro and others have really made active planning and deployment.
