The wind swept the dust, the coolness followed, and the dead branches and leaves fell one after another, in order to show that they would conform to the four seasons and wait for reincarnation.

Suddenly, the wind came, and the fallen leaves flew up, through the mountains and forests, and gradually disappeared, so that they could not see, hear, and nowhere to be seen.

I thought it had long since turned into dust and returned to the earth, but it was fortunate enough to be picked up and treasured by someone who was destined to bring it back to life and find a new world.

And those who do not want to make progress and are willing to fall will eventually be abandoned by nature, and in the end, they will only turn into piles of sludge that can be trampled on, and from time to time hide in the dark corners of the gutter and cry alone.

As far as the eye can see, among the mountains and forests surrounded by the sound of water, there is a hidden place - "Paradise Valley".

The so-called Paradise Valley is a mysterious organization formed by Zhang Tianyi that is ostensibly affiliated with Tianji Hall, but the actual control is in his own hands.

Although this organization was established by Zhang Tianyi, due to the intervention and containment of Zhang Tianjiao and other forces in the hall, Zhang Tianyi could not stand up and lead directly, but chose to let others act as his agent. In this way, a lot of trouble is saved.

However, although this valley is called heaven, what it really does is some hellish work. Although it is deep and secluded, it is not easy to be discovered, but the space is relatively small, with only a dozen rooms around, and all of them are relatively old.

After all, it is located in the deep mountains and old forests, and it does some unsightly things, so the behavior of the people in the valley seems to be a little sneaky.

Otherwise, there is no need to always be sneaky and trembling, so that a deep valley village with nearly 100 people does not even have a decent marker.

And in this valley, there is only one person who dares to stay up all night, so that his room is always brightly lit.

This person is Guo Nianyao, who was secretly arrested by the people of Paradise Valley not long ago, and then placed under house arrest for many days.

I saw that Guo Nianyao, who was a little tired, was sitting alone by a dim oil lamp, holding a slightly yellowed leaf in his hand, thinking thoughtfully about something.

This fallen leaf was the one that was blown to her by a magical wind not long ago, and then it was seen by Guo Nianyao, and she took it back and made a quiet bookmark in her medicine book.

At this moment, a burst of unexpected applause broke Guo Nianyao's thoughts. She looked up, and sure enough, it was the shameless Jin Er again.

Speaking of him, you may be a little unfamiliar, but if you mention his younger brother Jin Liu, you must have a little impression.

At the beginning, the two of them secretly entered the inn and wanted to do something wrong, but they were taught a hard lesson by Liu Ruotian, and then the two disappeared from the rivers and lakes.

originally thought that they would change their ways and become new people because of this, but they didn't want to see the two of them for many days, so they took refuge in Zhang Tianyi again.

Not only that, because Jin Erqi is good at intrigue and intrigue and has leadership skills, he can be said to be the same as Zhang Tianyi and others. In addition, Jin Er is obedient to Zhang Tianyi on weekdays and often slips his beard and pats horses, so that Zhang Tianyi is a little ignorant of the sky, and always feels that he is superior.

Over time, Jin Er won Zhang Tianyi's trust and respect, so he made him the steward of Paradise Valley, so as to handle the daily affairs of Paradise Valley for Zhang Tianyi.

There is a saying that "if you are not afraid of a gentleman gaining power, you are afraid of a villain's ambition." "Since Jin Er gained this real power, he has become more and more unscrupulous and domineering, relying on Zhang Tianyi to support himself behind his back, it has reached the point of doing whatever he wants and being lawless.

Although most of the people in Paradise Valley are not kind-hearted people, if Jin Er goes too far, there will still be people who despise what he has done, and the most obvious manifestation of this is actually his own brother Jin Liu.

So why is Guo Nianyao here? It all started one night a few days ago.

That night, Guo Nianyao's family was just about to turn off the lights and rest, but they were immediately plotted by a group of unknown black-clothed people, and then Guo Nianyao was kidnapped here. When Guo Nianyao woke up, she found that she was the only one left here, and her parents were nowhere to be found.

To this day, the only thing that worries Guo Nianyao and disturbs her is her parents, who are still missing.

The worried Guo Nianyao also tried to find out the news about her parents, but there was never the slightest clue. This worries her so much that she has mixed feelings.

At this time, Guo Nianyao didn't know that her parents were actually killed by the gangsters of Paradise Valley as early as the night she was kidnapped.

It's just that Zhang Tianyi and others have been hiding from her in order to stabilize Guo Nianyao's emotions and take care of the overall situation. Otherwise, once Guo Nianyao, who has always been filial, learned that her parents were killed, how could she honestly be at the mercy of her?

It's nothing more than that Jin Er and others have been threatening their parents' lives, so she chose to live in silence. As everyone knows, this spiritual pillar of hers has already collapsed, and it is only a matter of time before the sky collapses. It's hard to imagine what Guo Nianyao's reaction would be if she learned the truth one day.

If you ask why Jin Er ran to Guo Nianyao to greet him in three days, the reason must be self-evident.

Guo Nianyao also knows this, but she never succumbs to Jin Er's obscenity.

Although Jin Er is very eager to achieve his dirty purpose, he also knows in his heart that this person can't move.

So the **** Jin Er became more and more irritable in the dilemma, and this negative emotion reached a peak today, so he couldn't help but come again.

Jin Er, who saw the weirdness of yin and yang, first praised Guo Nianyao ramblingly, and then tested him with relatively subtle words.

Seeing that Guo Nianyao was indifferent to this, Jin Er was furious, and then began to speak lightly to him.

Seeing this, Guo Nianyao couldn't bear it anymore, so he decided to give him some color to see, let him suffer a little and have a longer memory.

I saw Guo Nianyao flying up, and then turned behind Jin Er at a very fast speed.

Just when Jin Er was a little carried away and thought that something good was coming, Guo Nianyao took this opportunity to immediately pull out a silver needle from his waist, and then pierced it into a certain acupoint in Jin Er's body impartially.

Then, Jin Er's body began to have various abnormal reactions, first it was itchy and unbearable, and then it hurt into the bone marrow, and then he began to laugh and wave his hands and scream, which was really ugly.

Seeing this, Jin Er didn't dare to stay here longer, so he ran out in embarrassment.

When the people around them saw this, they couldn't help but giggle in the dark. I thought, "Yes! Let you fight the human power, let you have no one in your eyes, and it will hurt you to death! ”

At the same time, Liu Xinyu's troops who had been holding on to Youzhou for many days learned that Ke Ke had not died in a catastrophe, and they actually began to command the three armies again, and they were about to launch a new round of attacks in the near future.

For this reason, Liu Xinyu can be said to have been sleepless all night thinking hard, and he tried every possible means to plan to retreat from the enemy, but he didn't know that he was about to face a catastrophe.

In a deep alley not far from Liu Xinyu's mansion, there is an inconspicuous and even somewhat dilapidated mansion, which is the residence of Wu Xinyi, the father of Wu Yingmin.

Speaking of which, you may wonder why Wu Yingmin can enjoy happiness in the palace while her father lives in such a shabby place.

It turned out that Wu Xinyi also served in the court in his early years, and his career was quite flat, but he didn't want to offend some powerful people because of his temperament because he was too upright, so that his words were not thoughtful.

Over time, the grievances were deep, so Wu Xinyi was impeached by some ill-intentioned people, and then he was deposed by Tang Ruizong.

After this incident, Wu Xinyi was not convinced, and directly wrote to accuse Tang Ruizong. Seeing this, Tang Ruizong was furious and wanted to put him to death, but because he remembered that Wu Xinyi had contributed to Sheji, he pardoned his capital crime.

However, the death penalty is avoidable. Tang Ruizong, who was furious, first dismissed him from office, and then sent him to Youzhou.

I thought that Wu Xinyi, who had suffered this change, would die of old age in Youzhou, but I didn't expect him to rely on his strong will and various relationships in the past, after years of hard work, to become a businessman.

At this moment, although he no longer has the infinite scenery of yesterday, he is also living a stable and prosperous life, and it can really be said that he has regained his life.

However, it is strange that Wu Xinyi, who is a businessman, does not seem to show what a serious businessman should be.

He does not like to go out, nor does he deal with strangers, and he often does business in a hasty and careless manner, as if he does not expect any money from it. The reason why he became a businessman is more like a cover for his identity than for the profit in it.

It's no wonder that people like to call him "untrustworthy" in private, and now it seems that this title is really very appropriate for him.

Sure enough, the sudden arrival of an uninvited guest that night further confirmed that our previous speculation was not groundless.

In the middle of the night, Wu Xinyi's mansion was already silent. Only the light was still on in his own room, but there was no one in the room, so he thought he had gone out again to have a good time.

After about a quarter of an hour, I suddenly saw a dark figure staggering from the mouth of the alley. When I looked closely, it was really Wu Xinyi.

I saw Wu Xinyi holding the wall with one hand and an empty wine jug in the other, staggering, his hair scattered, his clothes were disheveled, and the smell of wine was smoking.

It only made him vomit and belch incessantly, so that his entire chest was full of leftovers that he vomited. It seems that he drank a lot of alcohol, otherwise it would not have caused the whole alley to smell of alcohol.

After entering the door, Wu Xinyi went straight to the bedroom. In this way, he was not drunk to the point of delirium, at least he knew where to sleep.

He slammed the door open, slamming it against the wall, and then bounced back quickly.

I don't know how many times this situation has been repeated, and everyone in the house is used to it, so it should be a kind of chic music.

Don't look at Wu Xinyi drunk like this, he can still remember to close the door, sometimes I even suspect that his state is pretending.

When he was young, Wu Xinyi, who was extremely tired, had to go to bed to rest. But just as he blew out the oil lamp, closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard something strange outside the door. So he immediately opened his eyes and got up to check, and saw a dark figure standing outside the door.

Before he could stand up, the black shadow said to him in an extremely cold tone outside the door: "Shangfeng has an order, control Tang Xuanzong, get rid of Liu Xinyu, and blame Mei Chengye!" It's time for you to wake up! ”

Maybe it was because Wu Xinyi's alcohol strength was not subsided at this time, or he didn't take the other party's words to heart at all, so he didn't react much.

Seeing this, the black shadow immediately rebuked: "I warn you! If you dare to be extravagant and drunk, I will kill you immediately! Do you hear me? ”

"Yes, yes, your superiority has taught you a lesson, and your subordinates must keep it in mind!" The black shadow's words were like a slap in the face, so that Wu Xinyi was directly scared to the point that he woke up, and he no longer dared to think nonsense.

After the black shadow left, Wu Xinyi immediately changed his previous humble attitude, and then spat fiercely on the ground, and cursed in his mouth to show his contempt and dissatisfaction with the comer.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew outside the door, and then the shadows of the trees shook and rustled, just like the sound of the black shadow when it came.

When Wu Xinyi saw this, he immediately turned pale with fright, thinking that the man was back again. If that's the case, then didn't he hear everything he just said?

It's over, I'm going to die without a place to bury, so Wu Xinyi immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy and apologized repeatedly. Just say that he owes his mouth and talk nonsense.

When he was young, Wu Xinyi, who came back to his senses, saw that there was no one around, and then he knew that it was his own delusion, and then wiped the cold sweat on his head, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

From this point of view, it is better to do as little as possible to curse people in secret, so as not to say too much foul language at the time, and in the end, it is not worth scaring yourself out like a frightened bird.
