Chen Tongsheng jumped out with one hand on the windowsill, looking for the disappeared figure on the dark corridor.

There is no way that anyone can truly come and go like a ghost without leaving a trace. Whether it is a person who practices secret magic or strange methods, he will be subject to certain restrictions, he may be able to disappear in front of him temporarily, but with such a slight turn, he can leave this great marquis mansion immediately, she absolutely does not believe that there will be.

Sure enough, after walking out of the verandah and stepping into the flower garden, Chen Tongsheng saw someone standing in front of the Feiliu Pond openly, looking down at the sparkling lake under the moonlight and lights.

The night patrol was nowhere to be seen at the moment, Chen Tongsheng cautiously approached the past, and said in a low voice: "Jiang Liyan? ”

The man turned to the side and said, "You really remember me." ”

These words sounded meaningful, as if they had seen each other before, Chen Tongsheng's heart subconsciously tightened, he didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "What, what do you mean?" ”

Jiang Liyan didn't answer, and there was a sound of the water surface being broken in the Feiliu Pool, and after a while, a wet head popped up. The merman looked at Jiang Liyan curiously with his eyes that were as bright as stars in the dark night. Because generally speaking, no one would dare to stand on the shore of the Flying Pool, so close to the surface of the water. Chen Tongsheng saw it in his eyes, but he didn't open his mouth to persuade him.

Shark ...... It is cannibalistic. In other words, as long as it is meat, it will not be rejected by anyone who comes.

Although it looks like a good woman, and can even be said to be beautiful, the facial structure of the merman is different from that of ordinary people, if it opens its mouth, the corners of its mouth can be split directly to the root of the ear, and its mouth is full of sharp and broken teeth, and it has three teeth. It is said that when the mermaid was given into the Hou Mansion, there were curious subordinates to tease, and half of his arm was directly bitten off. Although Chen Tongsheng has never seen it bite the people by the pool one by one, he has seen it several times when he feeds it, and the huge muscle explosiveness behind it is very scary when it bounces up from the pool water, and the bite force that bites the cow bone in one bite.

Jiang Liyan's position was a little dangerous, he stood on the stone built by the edge of the pool, and as long as he took one more step, he would step into the pool.

"What do you mean......" Jiang Liyan repeated: "It's literally, we've met before, and you know what I mean." ”

He finally turned around, bowed pretendly, and said, "Long time no see, Galahia." His action was respectful, but whether it was from his tone or expression, he couldn't see Jiang Liyan's respect.

Chen Tongsheng subconsciously frowned and took a step back, but at this moment, the merman was actively facing his back to trigger the instinct of animal hunting, and the arrow from the string ejected, and the sharp claws like blades in the front of the claws flashed in the moonlight, and the moment the sound of water sounded, the merman cracked the huge mouth in mid-air towards Jiang Liyan's back!

However, before Chen Tongsheng could stop him, he only felt Jiang Liyan's body shake, and then a black shadow fell to the ground fiercely, wailing.

That's a merman.

The merman was originally big, and just the powerful long tail was about to reach the height of a person, not to mention that at such a large speed and strength, normal people could be hit just by being hit once, and their eyes would be starry. But Jiang Liyan didn't even turn around, as if he had a pair of eyes behind him, and with such a light, lightning grab, he easily threw the merman to the ground as if he was grabbing a fallen leaf.

Chen Tongsheng's foot immediately retracted, and after realizing the danger of this person, he tensed vigilantly.

And Jiang Liyan didn't care about retracting the pool water that was hanging in the air, stained with mucus secreted from the merman's body, shook it gently, and said with a smile: "The East China Sea merman, the meat is very delicious, and its pith is also very effective. It's just that the young merman is slightly better in deliciousness, and the medicinal effect of the bone marrow requires the merman to be old enough. ”

He looked condescendingly at the merman who was both angry and frightened, and looked at it unceremoniously: "This one doesn't account for either, it's old, and it's impossible to raise it from any spiritual medicine bone in this kind of pool." It's better to take the shark beads for you, it will be quite beneficial to your recovery. ”

Saying that, he raised his hand again, as if he was going to rip out the shark beads on the spot in the next moment, Chen Tongsheng suddenly said, "Stop." ”

"Don't you want to get back to normal?" Jiang Liyan looked at the rattling of the long tail on the ground, grinning viciously, making a defensive posture of resistance, and crawling towards the pool with all his might.

Jiang Liyan asked, "Don't you want to return to the normal of your speech and get the strength that Galashia deserves?" ”

Chen Tongsheng was stunned, only to hear Jiang Liyan continue: "If you can get the shark bead earlier, I'm afraid the previous days will be much better, right?" It's a pity that sharks are not easy to catch, not to mention that such soft-tempered sharks are rare, most sharks are extremely violent, and they can't get here and go on a hunger strike, or they die headlong. The newly cut out shark beads are useless. ”

"I don't ......"

"You mean you don't need to?" Jiang Liyan interrupted her with a smile: "You don't need to, you're very good now, you're used to being a stammer, and now no one will laugh at and bully you because of this, you're satisfied, aren't you?" You just want to deal with and deceive yourself in this way to save this innocent ...... The life of livestock? I think you need it a lot, aren't you still angry about it during the day? ”

Jiang Liyan pierced mercilessly: "You don't speak all year round, is it because of your quiet personality?" I think it's just because I'm afraid of ridicule, so I just keep my mouth shut. ”

But Chen Tongsheng shook his head lightly and said, "I'm not, I don't want to use sharks, shark beads." It's just that the mermaid was killed for His Majesty's royal gift, for no reason. The Hou Mansion will be held accountable. ”

"So you're thinking about this." Jiang Liyan laughed unexpectedly: "Are you worried that this matter will be used by people with a heart to make a fuss and add trouble to Yang and Hou." ”

He squinted his eyes at Chen Tongsheng, and then said, "Will each of your generations of Galahia go through such a period?" I'm sorry, but despite all my years of research, I still know very little about Galashia, and even the existence of your lineage has only recently become apparent. I really want to ask, do your feelings for Yang and Hou come from yourself, or is it the Galahia in your blood? ”

Chen Tongsheng looked at him in surprise and said, "You know, Gala's business. ”

"Of course I know," Jiang Liyan hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm a serious Northern Dynasty person, Gala." ”

"If the Northern Dynasty still exists, according to customs and laws, I need to bow down when I see you. Naturally, if the Northern Dynasty has been maintained smoothly to this day, in my status in the Northern Dynasty, in fact, most of the time I don't even have the qualifications to see you alone, and I will probably only participate in worship from afar during festivals. ”

"Why am I, Gala?" Chen Tongsheng hurriedly asked: "Galahia arrived, what is it?" Why am I ......?"

"Shh Jiang Liyan stretched out a slender finger and said softly, "Someone is coming soon." ”

He continued, "It's okay, you'll learn about these things later. Little by little, you will remember that you will become the real Galahia, and you will return to your eternal homeland. It's just that these processes will be very slow, and as far as I know, it took more than two hundred years for the one who took the longest time to transform before he really became Galashia. If you think it's too slow, I might as well help you...... In fact, that's what I'm here for. ”

"If you want to speed up the process, you can't afford to lose at the upcoming meeting of the foreign envoys at the big banquet." Jiang Liyan said quickly: "Although the small barbarian country that fights against you is good at martial arts, they also worship martial arts, and they will have complete admiration and worship for the winner, and the leader may even give you their treasure directly." That's the best way to get that thing. The skull of Reputation is of great use to your current condition, though it may make you a little more painful. ”

Looking at Chen Tongsheng's vigilant expression, he said, "Don't worry, after you get it, it's completely for your own use." Whether you win or not is entirely up to you, it's just ...... I've only found the skulls in their hands over the years, and the rest of the places that don't produce the reputation are about gone. ”

Before Chen Tongsheng could react to what he was talking about, she heard footsteps behind her, she glanced back, and then turned around behind her, Jiang Liyan disappeared again.

The servant who was patrolling the night saw a figure here, hurried over, took a lamp to shine on, and said in surprise: "Miss Chen? What are you doing here so late? ”

"I ......"

There was a pop behind him, and it was the merman who finally climbed to the edge of the Feiliu Pool and threw himself into the pool.

Chen Tongsheng said: "I slept at night, I couldn't sleep, I heard here, there was movement, so I came to take a look." ”

"Oh......" said the servant without doubt, "This merman sometimes climbs to the shore in the middle of the night, don't worry, you better go back to sleep, be careful of catching a cold." ”

——————

On the second day, Chen Tongsheng thought about it for a long time, but he didn't want to ask Song Chuanbai directly, so he had to ask Song Zhilan: "Do you know what is reputation?" ”

Song Zhilan had just come back from martial arts, and she was sweating, she wiped the sweat on her forehead and asked, "What reputation?" Chess reputation? Who? ”

"Nothing ......"

So she had to go to Dali Temple again.

"Reputation?" Zou Shiyun touched his chin and thought about it, then took a pen and wrote a word on the paper: "Is this the word?" ”

Chen Tongsheng couldn't be sure, after all, she just listened to Jiang Liyan's words, but listening to his tone, and the skull's statement, Chen Tongsheng guessed that it was likely to be a rare beast similar to the merman.

"Exotic beasts?" Zou Shiyun high-fived and said, "I remembered it when I said that." There are birds in the north of the mountain, like a chicken with a white head, a rat with feet and tiger claws, because it eats people, it is also regarded as a fierce beast. It is said to induce desires in people's hearts. This bird has feathers like a phoenix, but it is completely different from the phoenix, the bird of five virtues in the prosperous era, and their appearance often brings killing and war. In other words, because reputation can induce hatred and obsession in people's hearts, it will lead to war. Either way, it's not a good thing. ”
