The incense of the dream had dissipated, and it was already early the next morning.

Hua Xiangrong and I went to visit the courtyard again, and saw that Ji Lanye was still holding Lou Xinyue in despair, and the green silk on one end had turned white.

"I thought that the two were just incompatible personalities, and when I peeked into a dream of him, I realized that this man was a real scum."

"Yes! It's not a thing. ”

"However, his life is ridiculous and tragic! When he was most ambitious, he was not allowed to show it, and when he wanted to quit the rivers and lakes, he was pushed to a high position; The woman who loved him the most in the world also left him, but he didn't know who he could seek revenge; The person he thought he loved the most had long since changed beyond recognition, despicable and vicious, and he had turned from a white moonlight into a sticky and disgusting grain of rice. Alas, alas! ”

Hua Xiangrong sighed and shook his head, his always shrewd and sophisticated eyes revealed a rare feeling of distress and pity, walked into the courtyard alone, stopped in front of Ji Lanye, and said softly and comfortingly: "Lord Ji Ling, please mourn!" Now that the General's Mansion has caused this heavy blow, there are many affairs waiting for you to go back to preside, so you must not delay here for too long. ”

Ji Lanye raised his head, his expression was blank, but his black eyes were darker and deeper than before: "Ah Yue likes your courtyard very much, I want to bury her here, okay?" ”

"Nope."

Hua Xiangrong blurted out almost without thinking, a little unnatural panic, too unreasonable, I think this is too ruthless, just looking for a cemetery, even if you respond, you should politely refuse, and besides, people often sit or live in your place, and it costs a lot of money, so it shouldn't be so unkind.

I wanted to say something to ease the embarrassment.

Ji Lanye waved his hand sharply: "It's okay!" "Glancing at the two of us, it was not disdain or resentment, in short, it was an indescribable cold chill.

Before I could digest his eyes, he had already hugged Lou Xinyue's body and left.

Recalling the wave of his hand just now, I seemed to see the domineering demeanor of the lord of a faction, not so much a disguise as a last resort, but a natural release of nature, and the coolness of my unconscious back was even worse.

Hua Xiangrong said: "What are you shaking?" As far as I know, there aren't many things in this world that can make Lady Su tremble. ”

"I suddenly think it's the two of us who are ridiculous, and it's Lou Xinyue who is sad?"

“……”

Do you remember the seventeen-year-old ...... in your dream? Young Ji Lanye? With a firm look, a clear purpose, a fierce and ambitious mind, do you think he will be a person who is discouraged and retreats just because of the differences in kinship that exist in every sect? What's more, he is not from a high background, and he has worked hard for many years to reach the position of the master, and success is only one step away, I don't believe that he is really willing to let go? ”

Hua Xiangrong's body also shook a little, and I seemed to see a thin bead of sweat on her forehead: "Are you saying that the twilight, depression, and burnout we saw from him before were all deliberate expressions?" In fact, it is all his obscurity and retreat as a strategy? ”

I sneered: "What he said about 'being woken up by someone', this 'someone' must refer to 'Yuan Yunqi', but unfortunately we have misinterpreted this 'awakening', it should mean 'let him think of a way out of the predicament in front of him', that is, you might as well make good use of this sudden but spoiled old love Chu Yiyi, hehe Speaking of connoisseurs, I am really inferior to him, he can not only quickly identify but also' 'Follow the good temptation', and even use Lou Xinyue's feelings for him to force her to make a move, and finally play a bitter man who lost his love and friends at the same time in one day and was pushed to a high position for no reason, and had to carry the weight again. ”

Hua Xiangrong said: "If this is the case, then how deep is this person's scheming!" ”

I didn't answer, because I almost felt cold to the bottom of my heart when I thought about it any further.

Hua Xiangrong said again: "No, I don't believe it." Remember what I said! You are too rational and cherish feathers, so you will always be very ruthless when analyzing things. I still believe that he is a simple and pure person who wants to quit. Besides, people's hearts are so unpredictable, no matter how well he understands people's hearts, it is impossible for everything to happen by such a coincidence, so that all the avenues are paved for him. ”

I said: "I only dare to conclude that his sadness is real, and what we thought was a night of remorse and self-blame, but in fact it was just a farewell to his past self who was still hesitant and weak!" The moment he returned to the General's Mansion, it was probably not the same. ”

Hua Xiangrong said: "No, I don't believe it. ”

The 'unbelief' she said this time was far less resolute than the previous sentence of disbelief.

I said, "Okay - then let's take a look at the movement of the General's Mansion in the next time, is it silent for a long time?" Or is it a large-scale innovation and blood, and it will be more powerful from now on? ”

On December 31, the tenth year of Xuanhe, Ji Lanye, the head of the water order of the general's mansion, presided over the funeral ceremony of the lord of water and fire as the acting master of the door. Seven days later, in Dangyang Gate Longwutai was awarded the door master seal and the green dragon order, called the brilliant thousand autumn handsome and majestic Shenwu Sect Sect Master, the heroes are complete, the eight directions come to congratulate, the end is the scenery is infinitely good, the youth is at the right time, all the people surrender, the bell and drum shake the sky, the momentum is mighty.

On the day of the promotion ceremony, the front door master Qu Guhong did not appear because of the residual poison, all by the new master of ceremonies Dugu Yu on behalf of the exercise, and then it was rumored that the old man Qu was sick and his health deteriorated, so he moved to the hot spring valley of Yandang Mountain to recuperate.

Later, soon after hearing that the new master succeeded him, he successively transferred the two masters of Jinhong Hall and Tufu Hall to Huaiyin and Xuzhou rudder; Reopen the Shenwu Heroes Association, and eliminate the disciples from each hall in the competition, and the final five winners can be promoted to the position of the new hall master; Xuanwu and Yingwu were added, and Xuanwu Hall was personally selected and cultivated by the door owner, and was directly responsible for the safety of the door owner; Ying Wutang spared no expense to recruit capable people in the rivers and lakes; Not to follow the covenant of the southern martial arts of the front door master "He might as well be me, and the autumn has not committed any crimes", he took the Zijinwu that has always been a minister by force in only half a month, and then pointed the spearhead at the Lei Huo Hall next door, which has the potential to break the situation of fighting against the Northern Luo Shen Palace, and unify the momentum of the Southern Martial Arts.

I apparently guessed correctly, but guessed an ambitious madman.

That night, I had to pack my luggage and rush back to Chang'an, so that Lao Li could be more vigilant, and he also had the consciousness of living and dying with him.

Hua wants to know that I am leaving, and also said that I personally cook and prepare food for me to practice, I know that she actually wants me to leave quickly, after all, she has been delayed here for too long, and both sides are somewhat aesthetically fatigued.
