I didn't expect him to bring up this matter at this time, so I smiled and said, "What's the matter, they are just engaged, but Su Che and I have already had a wedding, so we have to go further than them." ”

Dad glared at me and said what is that, you two children are playing by themselves, it doesn't count!

I pouted and said I know, but now is not the time to talk about this, we have to wait for a while, we are not in a hurry.

My father still blew his beard and stared at him, saying that you are not in a hurry, but I am very anxious, if the matter is not resolved, Duan Ran and the others have not been able to catch it, have you been dragging it out like this?

I didn't expect him to be really anxious this time, so I had to say with a straight face: "No, I believe that the enemy will not be arrogant for too long, and soon they will perish, and then we can get married." ”

"How fast is it soon?" My dad was staring at me.

Now I have no choice, the old man became serious, and I didn't know how to answer, so I quickly glanced at Su Che and cast a look at him for help.

Su Che smiled and said Don't worry, within a year, we will definitely get married.

Now even I am blinded, within a year, can I do it?

Su Che glanced at me and said I don't want to wait any longer, even if we don't eliminate those people in the Council of Elders, we will get married, and we can't be delayed by some clowns who jump off the beam, do you say okay?

I nodded blankly, to be honest, I haven't had time to think about it lately, a year is going to be soon, are we finally going to be together?

No matter what I thought, my parents were happy anyway, and even ate a lot more dinner than usual.

After eating and staying for a while, Su Che and I returned to our home, and after entering the door, he suddenly said to me: "By the way, it is summer, and your birthday is coming." ”

I nodded and said what's wrong? Are you afraid that the blood curse on my body has not been lifted?

Su Che shook his head and said Of course not, a person like your master, can I not believe his statement?

"So what do you say this for?" I asked, puzzled.

He smiled wryly and said you stupid, can't I prepare a birthday present for you? Or maybe celebrate.

I'm speechless, I've never had a birthday very much, I'm used to it, I remember last year's birthday was still in the ancestral shrine.

"By the way, I remember when you said that, you once told me that my eighteenth birthday should also be spent in the ancestral shrine, and the responsibility of the night watchman is only counted after that night, right?" I asked him.

Su Che was stunned for a moment, and said that there was indeed such a request at the beginning, but now that the ancestral shrine has collapsed into the ground, I think it should be unnecessary, right?

"What? Don't even have your idea? I tilted my head to look at him.

He smiled bitterly and said that these things were all taught to me by the original Yan, but unfortunately he is gone, and if he is still here, we can ask him.

As soon as I mentioned it, I remembered the moment he left us underground, and my heart suddenly hurt so much that tears almost flowed out.

But I also thought of a detail, that is, he did tell me that I must remember to go to the ancestral shrine to keep vigil when I am eighteen years old.

He wouldn't have thought that the whole village had been sunk under the ground, and that we had discovered the secrets beneath the village, but he told me that I had to go.

We already know that the so-called vigil is actually to suppress the yin energy pouring out from hell from that passage, because my extreme yin constitution can restrain those yin qi, so I am the one who serves as this night watchman.

Now that the entrances to hell have been discovered, it stands to reason that I should go to the vigil, otherwise if a large amount of yin qi in hell leaks out, even if there is no one living in the village, what if it causes harm to the people in other places again?

"I have thought about it, there is a beginning and an end to things, and since it was originally arranged to be kept until the age of eighteen, then I will be the last night watchman." I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, looked up and said to Su Che.

He was stunned for a moment, and then asked helplessly, "Why are you suffering?" ”

I said what I had just thought, and Su Che understood, so he nodded and said, "In that case, let's discuss it with you tomorrow, anyway, it's still nearly a month before your birthday." ”

Also, I discussed it with everyone and brainstormed it, so I nodded and agreed.

… …

… …

The night passed, and when I got up the next morning, I originally wanted to bring everyone over and discuss the matter of me going to the vigil for a while, but I didn't expect that Lin Yuanshan sent someone to call me and asked me to hurry down the mountain, I had something important to say.

I didn't know what was going on, but I intuitively knew something was wrong, so I went down the hill without saying a word and went to his office.

When I walked in the door, I asked directly, "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Yuanshan frowned, and said that it was really a peaceful day, and it would not be a few days later, and I got a message early this morning that something happened to the Yunmen branch in Haidong.

"What's going on?" My heart is tight, what can make Lin Yuanshan so nervous must not be a trivial matter.

"The dragon head over there was found dead at home this morning, he is one of my old friends, I believe this incident must have something to do with Yun Lotian running yesterday." Lin Yuanshan said.

I frowned, and said in my heart that if this dragon head had a good relationship with Lin Yuanshan, it would be understandable for others to regard him as a thorn in the side, so I said: "I know, this matter will be handed over to us, and I will take the five-person group over to investigate it carefully." ”

Lin Yuanshan shook his head and said I wanted you to go, but not to investigate.

As soon as he said it, I immediately understood that this matter may not be an isolated case, maybe other dragon heads will also encounter the same assassination, the enemy is in the shadows, and now they want to disturb the normal order of Cloud Gate.

Moreover, if a dragon leader dies, who should be the new leader, that branch may be chaotic, which is very unfavorable to the current situation.

"I know, don't worry, we will be able to solve it." I said right away.

Lin Yuanshan nodded approvingly, and said that this is an extraordinary time, and you also know that I have not been the master of the sect for a long time, and this matter must be handled very satisfactorily, otherwise my foundation will be shaken because of this.

"Well, I understand, I'm going to gather everyone, and I'll be ready to go right away." I nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work."

I smiled, went out directly, and then returned to the mountain, just in time to see Lin Yue and Senior Brother Dashan going to my house, saw me and asked, "Ginger tea, you are so early today, what are you doing?" ”

"Senior brother, please help find Yang Ning and Qian Enhao, a few of us have a mission today, and we will leave in a while." I first said to Senior Brother Oyama.

Without saying a word, he went to the house in the distance to call someone, and I pulled Lin Yue into his house.

When everyone arrived, I told them the details and asked them how long it would take to clean up.

This matter is the first time that Lin Yuanshan has to show it to other leaders after he became the owner of the door, and if it is not handled well, the impression score will be reduced, so we have to pay attention to it.

A few boys don't need to clean up at all, they can set off directly, but Lin Yue and Lin Ruowei need to go back and prepare, but a few minutes is enough.

Originally, Shen Qin, Su Che and Senior Brother Dashan also wanted to follow us, but I refused, as Lin Yuanshan said, this is an extraordinary time, and it is not possible for us to leave a few people on the side of the mountain castle.

And I thought about it just now, what if this is another plan by the enemy to divert the tiger from the mountain? If all of our living forces are gone, who will protect them here?

In the end, they were all persuaded by me and promised to stay and protect the place, and I promised them to come back as soon as the matter was settled.

After a while, Lin Yue and the two came back after packing their things, and the five of them said goodbye to everyone, and then went down the mountain directly.

To go to the airport, you need to drive, so Lin Yuanshan prepared two cars for us and took us directly to the airport, this time it was an internal affair of Yunmen, and we didn't need to trouble Aunt Qing, so the tickets we bought were all civil airliners.

However, the timing was reasonable, and when we arrived at the airport, it was time to start checking in, and we waited on the plane for about an hour, and the plane left the ground and headed straight for our destination.

On the plane, I took the information given to me by Lin Yuanshan and read it, which recorded the details of the branch in Haidong, the identity of the leader, family members, and the names and personality traits of his right-hand man.

These things are the credit of Lin Yuanshan's new intelligence group, and in order to understand the strength of the entire Cloud Gate, he had to do such an investigation.

It is precisely because of this that our work will not be confused, and we can directly carry out the investigation after getting off the plane.

By noon, the plane landed on time at the airport, which is a coastal city, and we already saw the vast sea from the plane.

When we got off the plane, the cool sea breeze blew and suddenly made people feel refreshed, but unfortunately we all had important things in our hearts and did not have time to visit this famous tourist city.

Because we had already received the notice, the branch sent someone to pick us up, and we got on a minibus and set off for our destination.

We were greeted by a dark-skinned young man, this person had sharp eyes, looked shrewd and capable, according to the information given by Lin Yuanshan, I knew that his name was Wang Jianyuan, and he was the right-hand man of the deceased dragon leader Li Lin.

So when we were on the road, I asked Wang Jianyuan some details about Li Lin's murder, and he knew everything about us, and he also told us directly about some questions that we didn't ask, first of all, to win our favor with him.

The car did not enter the city, but walked around the ring road on the outskirts of the city, and then went straight off the road and turned into a village at the foot of the mountain.

"This place is Lijiazhuang, the whole village is surnamed Li, and the leader is the Li family." Wang Jianyuan introduced us.

I see, no wonder ordinary faucets set up branches around the city, but this person set up their branches in such a remote place.

"What's going on?" Lin Yue pointed out the car window and asked, and when we turned our heads to look, we frowned at the same time!
