All around is a raging fire, which seems to be about to drown the whole world, and it seems that all good and evil are going to be burned to the sky.

Leng Yue and Ye Jiuchen stood in the middle of the fire.

Ye Jiuchen hugged Leng Yue tightly, and kept whispering softly in his mouth, comforting.

"It's okay, it's okay, Yue'er, it's okay."

Leng Yue didn't cry or make trouble, let alone hysteria, just stayed in Ye Jiuchen's arms so quietly, his hands tightly pinching his arms.

As a mercenary, she has long been accustomed to seeing life and death, and those comrades-in-arms who used to get along day and night have also fallen one by one in front of her eyes and in her arms.

Sad?

It was sad at first, but slowly, she became numb and began to accept it.

Living in such days of licking blood on the tip of a knife, life and death seem to be as common as eating, sleeping and going to the toilet.

Therefore, she will not be sad to face someone dying in front of her again.

Or rather, have forgotten to be sad.

That's why she turned herself into a hard-hearted, calm person.

Even if she encounters something big, she can be calm and expressionless.

But since crossing into this strange world, there are Ye Jiuchen, Leng Chi, Leng Old Lady, Liang Qian, Leng Xiao, and Mother Feng around him...... With these important family members, Leng Yue found that she had changed.

Becoming flesh and blood again, knowing that it is happy, knowing that it is sad, occasionally laughing, and also angry.

But why, why let Ergou suffer this kind of suffering as a child?

He's so cute!

He clearly said that he would wait for him to grow up and marry himself.

Her heart was so sour, her eyes were so sour, Leng Yue wanted to cry, but she gritted her teeth and didn't let herself cry.

"It's all my fault."

If you can detect it earlier, then Ergou will not die, Da Ya Dabao will not die, and the people of the whole village will not die.

And after Ye Jiuchen heard Leng Yue's words, he hugged him a little tighter. Although his arm had been numb from being scratched by Leng Yue, he was still holding Leng Yue tightly, tighter and tighter.

"Yue'er, no, no, it's not you who is wrong, it's Zhang Huairen, who regards human life as a mustard."

Ye Jiuchen's words made Leng Yue seem to calm down a little, but hatred was like a poisonous snake, opening its mouth, barking its fangs, and spitting out snake letters, which were already firmly entrenched in her heart.

The fire still continues, and the wind still doesn't stop.

The fire crackled in his ears, but Leng Yue's heart had an unprecedented calmness.

Slowly, she broke free from Ye Jiuchen's embrace, and looked straight at Ye Jiuchen with a pair of cold, quiet, and unwavering eyes like a deep well.

After a pause, Leng Yue spoke in a calm voice.

"I want to find Ergou and help him bury him."

Ye Jiuchen's obsidian-like black eyes stared at Leng Yue, and for a moment, he nodded emphatically.

"Good!"

The fire burned for a long time, but finally burned the village to the ground, and the small village that used to be peaceful and peaceful is now only the ruins of the fire and the smell of burnt in the air.

In the whole village, only the withered old locust tree at the entrance of the village remained, which survived, still lonely, and stood there strangely, proving that there was once a small village here, which once existed.

Leng Yue finally found the bodies of Ergou and Daya.

It's all a one-shot death, and there is no pain.

Leng Yue didn't ask Ye Jiuchen to help, and buried the two dogs in person.

There was no tombstone, Leng Yue squatted in front of the grave bag, and gently felt the life that Ergou had lost under the soil with her palm and fingertips.

"I'm sorry."

The cold moon spoke, her voice was shallow, but it was unusual.

"My sister can't wait for you to grow up to marry me, but my sister promises you."

As she spoke, Leng Yue slowly leaned down and leaned in front of the grave, as if in this way, the second dog in the tomb could really hear what she said.

"Sister, you must let the person who killed you die a miserable death!"

Air, very quiet.

Suddenly, the crow's hiss sounded, Leng Yue raised her eyes to look at the crow squatting on the old locust tree, and then calmly retracted her gaze and glanced at Ye Jiuchen who was standing beside her.

"Let's go."

Ye Jiuchen's thin lips pursed into a shallow straight line, stared deeply at Leng Yue, and nodded heavily.

At this moment, he could clearly feel that although the cold moon in front of him was still the cold moon of the past, it was not the cold moon of the past.

Although she was already cold at the moment, she still didn't have any expression or overreaction, but the light deposited in her eyes was completely different from before.

Ye Jiuchen knew that the death of the second dog was a great blow to Leng Yue.

She's in pain!

But her pain will not be noisy, it will not be noisy.

Because the pain is extreme, people will really be very quiet.

And the one who made Leng Yue ache......

Thinking of this, Ye Jiuchen's dark eyes couldn't help but burst out of a cold light, and then he half-narrowed his eyes and looked deeply towards the village that had become a ruined wall, and took one last look.

Ye Jiuchen and Leng Yue turned around together, walked to their respective horses, turned over on their horses, and rode away without looking back.

……

Huaiyang is the second largest city in the entire northern border.

Like Jinyang City, this place has been deployed a long time ago, and it looks like a quiet and prosperous city, but it has long been dilapidated inside.

Leng Yue and Ye Jiuchen found a relatively large inn to live in directly, and they were generous and not low-key.

Zhang Huairen is far away in Jinyang City, still leisurely coiling walnuts and teasing birds.

Liu Zhou came to report the situation.

"All burned?"

"If you go back to your lordship, it's all burned."

"Hmm."

Zhang Huairen replied lightly: "Burned clean?" ”

Liu Zhou smiled: "It's burned clean, and there is not a single living mouth left." ”

"Not bad!"

Zhang Huairen teased the bird and praised Liu Zhou at the same time.

But Liu Zhou was a little frightened.

"It's just that my lord, when our people went to the village, they found that the man and the woman were gone.

And I just received a flying pigeon biography from the prefect of Huaiyang, saying that a man and a woman actually arrived in Huaiyang and lived in Huaiyang City.

acts, is still high-profile and arrogant, and it seems to be even more powerful than before. ”

Liu Zhou said as he cautiously looked at Zhang Huairen's expression, for fear that Zhang Huairen would be furious at the moment because Leng Yue and Ye Jiuchen were still alive.

In fact, Liu Zhou's worries are not superfluous.

Hearing the news that Ye Jiuchen and Leng Yue were still alive, Zhang Huairen's face really showed a trace of displeasure, but it was not to the point of being angry.

"Huh! It's really fateful, and it's going pretty fast. ”

Liu Zhou hurriedly echoed when he heard this.

"My lord, do you want to do it in Huaiyang City and ...... them?"

As he spoke, Liu Zhou raised his hand and compared it to his neck. Zhang Huairen shook his head slightly.

"Wait a minute, Huaiyang is no better than a poor and remote village, in Jinyang City, if it is detected by someone with a heart, wouldn't it be with Lord Ben to find trouble and leave a handle?

Can't you slaughter the entire Jinyang village, right? ”

"Yes, yes, my lord! The subordinate sent someone to keep an eye on the two to see if there was any special behavior on the part of the two. ”

"Well, that's fine."

After a pause, Zhang Huairen continued to ask:

"Prince, is there any movement?"

"Yes, I just received the news, saying that the prince has set off for Jinyang this morning, and if there is no accident, he will be able to arrive at noon tomorrow."

Hearing Liu Zhou say this, Zhang Huairen's movement of the walnuts in his hand suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Liu Zhou immediately straightened his mind and took a step forward. He knew that every time Zhang Huairen had an idea, the movement of the walnuts would stop.

And sure enough, just as Liu Zhou understood, in the next second, Zhang Huairen said without being salty:

"If there is no accident, let's create some accidents, doesn't it mean that there is a riot in our north? Then why do you have to let the prince see some shadow of the riot? ”

When Liu Zhou heard this, he immediately understood.

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates understand, and my subordinates will arrange it."

"Well, go ahead."

Liu Zhou received the order and quickly retreated, while Zhang Huairen sat on the rattan chair of yellow rosewood, looking at the cage in front of him, the exquisite and small canary was jumping, jumping, and chirping, but his eyebrows couldn't help frowning.

What the hell are those men and women doing?

……

It was getting late, and the dark night spread its arms, enveloping the whole land in darkness.

Leng Yue and Ye Jiuchen took advantage of the night, dressed in night clothes, and jumped out of the window of the inn and jumped onto the roof. Because the cold moon will not work lightly, it is carried by Ye Jiuchen, and it shuttles and flies quickly in the dark night.

The two had a clear purpose and went straight to the richest family in Huaiyang.

The richest person in Huaiyang is surnamed Shi, and Master Shi is in business, but I heard that because there are people in the court, the business has been "booming" over the years.

It is said that it is prosperous, to put it bluntly, it is to rely on the rich and powerful, force to buy and sell, see whose business is doing well, and directly symbolically throw down a few dozen taels of silver, and deprive others of their business worth hundreds of thousands of taels.

There must be resistance under power, and if Master Shi does this, naturally some people will not accept it and report to the official, and the result of reporting to the official is to be beaten up and thrown back.

That night, the whole family was wiped out.

If this goes on for a long time, where will anyone dare to have the slightest voice.

Originally, such people, Leng Yue and Ye Jiuchen would be cured if they were idle, but now they have more important matters, and they originally planned to clean up after the matter is dealt with.

But I didn't expect that God seemed to have arranged it in advance.

I heard Dabao say it before, his cousin, the one who came to Huaiyang City, was actually locked up in the firewood room of this old man Shi's house in the past few days.

So without even hesitating, Leng Yue and Ye Jiuchen decided-

Tonight, he's killing two birds with one stone.
