The night is dark and goodbye

The night was dark, only the sky was full of stars, and the time flickered, it was late June. Gu Minluo stood alone on the edge of the cliff, looking at the phantom silhouette of the distant mountains in the darkness and a little distracted, his clothes hunting in the cliff wind.

This time, Gu Minluo injured his vitality, and although he woke up on the second day of poisoning, until now, dozens of days have passed, and his body has not fully recovered. Just this evening, he went to see Kong Bozhi, first, to see Kong Bozhi's injury, and second, to bid farewell to Kong Bozhi.

Gu Minluo was eager to fulfill his promise on the grounds that he would go out to travel through the mountains and rivers to increase his knowledge and return to Anyang County by the way. It had been more than a month since he left Qiantang City, and he didn't know how Jiang Tingxue was doing these days, and whether the fourth prince was still disturbing her peaceful life. He wanted to see her, and he wanted to take her to Donghuan, where there was a mansion of his, where no one would bother.

Kong Bozhi listened to Gu Minluo's words, but he didn't doubt it, but considering that the current situation in the rivers and lakes was very unfavorable to them flying through the cliff, and Gu Minluo had been exposed in front of various sects, he was a little worried about Gu Minluo's safety, and he didn't want Gu Minluo to go out alone, but seeing Gu Minluo's resolute attitude, he finally agreed.

Kong Bozhi's feelings for this righteous son are quite special, completely different from Xun Yang and the three of them. For Kong Bozhi, although Xun Yang and them are his right-hand men, and he has carefully cultivated the three of them, these three people are just his killing tools after all, and he takes his loyalty for granted.

Gu Minluo, on the other hand, seems to be more like Kong Bozhi's own son, he is more willing to indulge Gu Minluo, and often follows Gu Minluo's temperament in small things, without restraint.

Gu Minluo's biological father and Kong Bozhi are sworn brothers, and their family lives in Anyang County, which was originally a small merchant family, but later encountered violent bandits, and only Gu Minluo and her sister survived the family.

That was sixteen years ago, when there was a great drought in Anyang County, and the county guard Zhao Xuqing was unfavorable for disaster relief, resulting in countless people dying of starvation.

Those wealthy and wealthy families naturally became the target of bandits, and the Gu family was not spared, and they were all wiped out overnight. At that time, Gu Minluo was only six or seven years old, and he and his sister were taken to Shu by Kong Bozhi to play, so they escaped. When Kong Bozhi rushed back with them, all he saw were rotting corpses and dried blood.

This was the second time Kong Bozhi had faced such a thing, and he never imagined that his two sworn brothers would leave him one after another in the form of being destroyed. Therefore, half of the reason why he is what he is today is because of these two huge blows.

Later, less than two years later, Gu Minluo's sister also died, seriously ill and died. Since then, there has been only one Gu Minluo left in the Gu family, who has already been adopted as a righteous son by Kong Bozhi.

The mountain breeze was cool, and Gu Minluo's figure did not move in the dark night, and the hair on his shoulders fluttered, and he could not help but cough twice once in a while.

There was a light footstep behind him, mixed with the sound of the wind, which was not very clear and faint. Gu Minluo turned to look, and a shadow hidden in the darkness in the distance was coming with a gauze lamp. Before the person approached, the soft voice of concern had already drifted with the wind: "I went to the room to look for you but didn't see anyone, and I didn't want to come here." Your injuries haven't healed yet, so it's not appropriate to blow a cool breeze here, so let's go back to the house. ”

"It's okay, since you're here, let's talk about something here." Gu Minluo turned around and continued to look into the distance, a smile could be heard in his words.

Gu Panman stepped forward unhurriedly, and stood beside Gu Minluo generously, the gauze lamp in his hand flickering. He stood quietly for a long time before he spoke calmly, "I heard that you are leaving?" ”

"Yes." Gu Minluo bowed his head slightly, and his voice was flat and gentle.

Gu Panman frowned slightly, his face showed a worried look, and his soft words were mixed with the wind: "But now that all the sects on the rivers and lakes have regarded us as mortal enemies, if you leave rashly like this, the road will be extremely dangerous." ”

"Just be cautious, don't worry, I'll be fine. Besides, the situation of the various sects is not much better than ours now, and they are all busy with their own affairs, so they may not necessarily go out. In a few months, Chongyang will be in Chongyang, and in addition to traveling, I would like to stop by Anyang County. The road was difficult, and Gu Minluo knew that, but compared to his agreement, he felt that it was nothing. Moreover, he really wanted to go back to Anyang County to pay homage to his parents, and he hadn't been back for a long time.

In the distance, the night birds chirped, desolate and sad. Gu Panman raised his hand and brushed the broken hair that was blown by the wind, and sighed lightly: "I know, I can't persuade you, but I hope you can bring more men, just in case." By the way, when are you going to leave? ”

Gu Minluo covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice, and replied simply: "The day after tomorrow." ”

"The day after tomorrow? Is it so rushed? Gu Panman turned his head to look at Gu Minluo's hazy face, slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down again, "It's better to be a few days, the twenty-seventh birthday of the Kemen Lord is in the near future, and when he finishes his birthday, it's not too late for you to leave." ”

Gu Panman wanted to keep Gu Minluo, although he knew that he couldn't keep it, but he could stay for a day, so he mentioned Ke Tianxu's birthday. Now Gu Panman is not worried about the matter between Gu Minluo and the woman. Because she thought that Ling Xiao was the woman in Gu Minluo's mouth, and now that Ling Xiao was flying through the cliff, she felt that maybe Gu Minluo insisted on leaving for this matter, and she couldn't face the woman she loved and became a friend.

"Yes. If you don't mention it, I forgot. It's okay, then I'll help Brother Ke celebrate his birthday before leaving. Gu Minluo chuckled twice, feeling a little ashamed that he had almost forgotten his friend's birthday. If he left like this, he really couldn't say it.

When Gu Panman heard Gu Minluo say this, a trace of joy floated in his heart, and his eyes still stayed on his hazy face, and asked, "By the way, you went to see the cliff master today, how is his injury?" ”

"The sword wound is a bit severe, but it's starting to heal." Gu Minluo sighed. He went to see the scene today, he was really a little shocked, he had never seen his stepfather so weak, the injury was too serious, even in the decisive battle ten years ago, no one had injured his stepfather like this. In front of Gu Panman, he only said lightly.

Hearing the word serious, Gu Panman was also a little surprised: "That Dark Pavilion Master's martial arts are so good?" ”

"It's not Nan Qiyi, it's Lu Jingxing, that person's martial arts are not under his father-in-law. I never thought that there would be such a young master on the rivers and lakes now, which makes us people ashamed of ourselves. Speaking of Lu Jingxing, Gu Minluo admired it a little. But after all, it is a hostile relationship, even if Lu Jingxing is the cousin of his beloved woman.

Gu Panman was slightly shocked in his heart and stopped talking. The two stood quietly for a while, and finally Gu Minluo coughed a little against the mountain wind, and was persuaded by her to go back to her residence.

The room was silent with the wind blowing the curtains, and under the window, Xun Yang sat reclining on the desk, staring at a medicine bottle in his hand and slightly distracted, which was left by Feng'er that night, this quirky little girl made it difficult for him to forget, and at the same time full of too much incomprehension and curiosity. His other arm was still wrapped around the splint, and he looked slightly clumsy. More than ten days have passed, only his injuries heal slowly, only because of the injuries are muscles and bones.

"Door Master, it is rumored that Gu Minluo is about to leave the Flying Cliff, and he went to the forbidden land to meet the Cliff Master this evening." Xun Yang's cronie stepped through the door and bowed respectfully in front of Xun Yang.

Xun Yang came back to his senses, put the medicine bottle between his fingers into the palm of his hand, looked up at the person standing outside the case, first slightly surprised, and then smiled lightly: "Leave?" Hmph, didn't he kill himself? It's too long. ”

"Is the owner of the door trying to make a move? I got reliable news that I heard that the cliff owner was seriously injured and dying this time, and now he is trying his best to recover from his injuries. If you do it at this time, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The cronie couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly and glanced at Xun Yang, and quickly realized the current situation, and felt that his master's opportunity had arrived.

Xun Yang smiled a little slyly, waved his hand holding the medicine bottle, and said calmly: "Why do we need to do it, besides, after this battle, we have no one to send." Now that the rivers and lakes are all enemies, do you think he will be better? Finding someone to release the news is, we just need to watch a good show. ”

"Or is the master of the door worried." The cronie hung his head again, staring at the fire-lit floor in front of his feet.

Xun Yang tilted his head slightly, paused, and then raised his head and asked, "Do you know when he will leave?" ”

"I don't know about this yet, but it should be soon." The cronie shook his head, he had just received a report from someone, so he immediately came to see Xun Yang.

All they knew was that Gu Minluo had entered the forbidden land to see Kong Bozhi and had received the news from one of Kong Bozhi's maids, but as for the conversation between Gu Panman and Gu Minluo later, no one heard it. Of course, it wasn't that the maid deliberately wanted to leak it, just because it wasn't a secret matter, and there was no need to hide it.

And Gu Panman can know that Gu Minluo is leaving, it is Gu Minluo's cronies who tell him, hoping that Gu Panman can persuade Gu Minluo to stay, and he doesn't want Gu Minluo to have an accident. And the cronie knew very well what Gu Minluo was going to do, but he didn't tell Gu Panman about Gu Minluo's purpose, he was somewhat measured in his heart, and knew what to say and what not to say.

Xun Yang was silent for a moment, and waved his hand at the figure standing not far away: "Okay, you go down first." ”

The cronies retreated again, and Xun Yang was the only one left in the huge room, very quiet, and the half-hidden curtain danced in the wind. He looked at the medicine bottle in his hand and fell into contemplation again, a smile overflowed at the corner of his mouth for a while, and he said to himself: "I heard that the woman Ke Tianxu snatched back is still a princess, and the people who dare to touch the royal family, things are really getting more and more interesting." ”
