Mr. Guo slowly closed his eyes and sighed softly.

"I feel like I'm in pain...... It's like atoning for the wrong things I've done. ”

Late at night, the cold wind outside the window was still blowing, blowing a desolation.

......

The man standing on the high platform with his hands in his hands looked down at a large group of soldiers wearing specific uniforms standing in a neat and orderly manner, and slowly spoke.

"The whole army of the Second Regiment of Yamen obeys the order!"

A majestic voice with a cold chill resounded throughout the hall.

"Yes!"

The troops in the audience responded loudly and orderly.

I saw a man standing on the high platform, dressed in a black robe, slowly fluttering with the wind on the high platform.

The straight nose makes the already deep facial features more three-dimensional. In the slender eyes, there are far more whites of the eyes than the two small pupils.

From time to time, there was a hint of calculation in the pupils, and there was a hint of bloodthirsty madness in his cold eyes.

The whole person gives people an extremely mean and vicious feeling.

"I was ordered to go to Linlan Pavilion to arrest the person who had severely damaged my Yamen seven years ago, Guo Sheng! and capture the orphans of the Chu family alive!"

"If anything happens, be executed on the spot!"

The man's grim voice echoed through the silent hall from the high platform.

"Yes!"

Looking at the people in the audience who replied loudly and neatly, the corner of the man's mouth slowly raised a sneer.

Guo Sheng...... You owe me Xiao Ya's old account after many years......

It's time to do the math.

......

Chu Nanhe felt that his master was a little strange in the past few days.

But it's not strange.

Although the master has a straight face as always, Chu Nanhe has always been able to vaguely grasp some emotions from the eyes that the master looked at him that he didn't usually have.

Be...... Sad?

Although he is delicate, he is still only a seven-year-old boy, and he does not have the heart of Liuyun that does not match his age.

He really didn't know very well about the slight changes in his master in the last few days.

Liuyun looked at the outer pavilion, which had become a little deserted in recent days, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Somehow, I panicked a lot today.

Liuyun was still in a daze, when he heard Chu Nanhe's call in the distance.

followed Chu Nanhe all the way to the training ground that he was already very familiar with.

The soft warm sun in spring shone on Mr. Guo's body.

It's the same as when Liuyun first came here.

It's still that back, standing in the sun. The shredded sunlight was sprinkled, only this time, the tall shadow at the end of the sun was inexplicably ...... Lonely.

"Flowing Cloud"

Liuyun's stunned expression was interrupted by Mr. Guo's deep voice.

"You and Chu Nanhe take out all the things you have learned in these days, and I'll take a look. ”

A faint voice came from overhead.

Liuyun and Chu Nanhe glanced at each other, and then took out their weapons from the ring.

Chu Nanhe took out the Qingmu sword, and Liuyun held a silver-white spear in his hand.

Although the two didn't know what Mr. Guo meant, they both started training very obediently.

Looking at the two boys who were both a little taller, Mr. Guo's dead eyes moved slightly.

......

The gate of the outer courtyard of the Linlan Pavilion was tightly closed.

A large group of people in uniform in uniform at the same pace stopped their march neatly.

"Attack. ”

With the cold command in the man's voice, the first third of the army closed their eyes at the same time.

After a while, round balls of different colors condensed in their hands.

With a whistle, a big hand was raised.

Numerous cannonballs flew in unison with the somewhat piercing whistle towards the heavy gate of the outer courtyard of the Linlan Pavilion.

"Boom-"

The gate trembled with the tremendous thrust.

Inside the Linlan Pavilion.

More than 100 people held the weapons in their hands and looked at each other with a touch of tragedy in their eyes.

"When was the last time there was such a big battle?"

“...... Seven years ago?"

"After this time...... Will there be a next time?"

The stout man who took the lead gently wiped the big knife in his hand. The sharp blade sparkles in the sun.

"Don't think about whether there will be a ...... next time"

The stout man grinned. The scars at the corners of his mouth trembled with the muscles of his face.

"If you can kill one more this time, you can kill one!"

With wave after wave of cannonballs bombarding the gate of Linlan Pavilion, finally, the heavy gate of Linlan Pavilion was blown to pieces.

For a moment, a loud noise was accompanied by debris flying in the sky.

It's as if something important on stage is about to begin.

......

Liuyun looked at the small pit in the big tree in front of him that had been burned by himself, as well as a few small holes.

"Good. Progress has been rapid. ”

Mr. Guo smiled slowly.

There seemed to be a very noisy sound in the distance.

But in the small training ground, the early morning sun still lazily sprinkled on the three of them.

"Xiao He, your Freezing Technique is still lacking in controlling the transformation of energy. Put more effort into this. ”

"And you, your Flame Burst and Silence...... Or is it not extreme enough in terms of energy compression...... and the lack of control at the moment of the attack......"

Mr. Guo's deep voice was still so calm.

Chu Nanhe looked at the deep eyes that were staring at him.

I don't know why, but from the master's eyes, he seems to have read something.

But it was as if I hadn't read anything.

The air became a little oppressive for a while.

"Let's go?"

Qin Lei's unique voice suddenly sounded behind him.

The two boys turned around, only to see Qin Lei and Lin Fanqing standing behind them at some point.

At this time, there was a sudden gust of wind.

The noise coming from the courtyard of Linlan Pavilion was getting louder and louder, and even the sound of an explosion could be faintly heard.

The wind of early spring blew on Chu Nanhe's heart, and he didn't know why, he seemed to have a fear that he was about to lose something.

"Go with Qin Lei. ”

Mr. Guo's deep voice drifted down the wind to Chu Nanhe's ears.

“...... Isn't Master going with you?"

A flash of panic flashed in Chu Nanhe's big eyes.

Mr. Guo stared down at the face that had been deeply engraved in his own heart at some point. The bottom of the deep eyes is like a dead lake.

"Xiao He, do you remember what I told you when you were a child, those people who wanted to take your life?"

“...... Remember. ”

"Now, those people are coming. ”

Mr. Guo stretched out his big hand and finally touched the top of Chu Nanhe's soft head.

"Here they come...... Just to see if there's you here. So you recently went to Qin Lei's place with Liuyun for a while. ”

"What about you, Master. ”

Chu Nanhe looked up.

"I still have to take care of Lin Lan Pavilion. ”

......

Watching the two small figures disappear with Qin Lei, Mr. Guo's smiling face slowly regained his calm.

Some emotions that are gradually no longer suppressed slowly swell up from the bottom of the eyes.

Stagnant water is slight.
