The man in black stood at the window against the light, the expression on his face was dark and uncertain, and his breath was deep and quiet, but mixed with some unsettling ingredients.

He was dressed differently from ordinary Central Plains people, with no hair tied into a crown on his head, but scattered down, with a bone hairpin inserted.

"It's dead." The man played with the wine glass in his hand, and his tone was light.

"So be it," said the man, "this is the only way to do it this time, and the price to pay further down will be too great to be worth it." ”

"It's the incompetence of subordinates." Gyokuro said as he got down on his knees instead, pressed his forehead to the floor.

"It's not your fault, don't rush to take it up," the man stared at the smooth light of the white porcelain cup, and said lightly, "There are too many variables this time." ”

"I didn't expect that the old lady Bai still had a tiger talisman hidden, and his subordinates never found it, which was a dereliction of duty." The little boy said in a deep voice.

"There is nothing surprising in that," said the man mockingly, "and the old women always like to hide treasures at the bottom of the box, even if the children are dying of hunger. ”

"But ......" Yulang raised his head, and his eyebrows were full of unwillingness.

"The Tiger Talisman is just the last straw, and I'm talking about variables much sooner than you think." The man chuckled.

"From the moment the one from Lingyan Temple came out of the cave, this matter has already gone in general." He picked up the flask and poured himself another glass of wine.

The room is filled with the strong aroma of wine.

"I didn't expect this person to interfere." Gyokuro lowered his head again. "It's the poor supervision of subordinates."

"What if you detect it?" The man laughed, "Is it possible that you can still stop him?" ”

"This ......"

"Zhu Kuan is dead, his grandson is also dead this time, Zhu Kuan's son is a stupid fool who is even more stupid than his father, and the British government can't do it again for the time being." The man put away his smile and said in a deep voice.

"That Zhu Rong ......" Yulang raised his head hesitantly, "Don't you kill again?" ”

"He has already entered a Ascending Extreme Realm and a Transformation Yuan Realm, and his life is not that valuable." The man said coldly.

"Even if you can crawl out of the ground, whether you can give birth to a child, whether you can be inherited, you may not be able to be knighted."

"The subordinates understand, they won't touch him first, and continue to monitor closely." Gyokuro said.

"Hmm." The man nodded, and then found that the young man kneeling on the ground was frowning, his eyes slightly looking upward, and a look of wanting to stop talking appeared on his face.

"What's wrong?" The man asked

"The subordinates don't want to shirk their responsibilities, they just think that this incident is too coincidental." Yulang said hesitantly.

"Huh? It's okay, you can talk about it. The man's eyebrows furrowed, and he asked with interest.

"My subordinates have been deployed in Huizhou for many years, so I understand that the combat power gathered in Huizhou City and the British Mansion has far exceeded coincidences, to an abnormal extent." The boy looked up, his big amber eyes full of solemnity.

"Duan Lizheng, Duan Haochu, Princess Jinyang, and the pair of brothers who traveled to Lingyan Temple," the young man blinked, "Huizhou is not as good as Shendu, even one of these people will have an impact on the pattern of Huizhou, this time they all gathered together for a while, as if they were being led by a thread in the dark." ”

"So even if you have to use the dark line buried in Princess Jinyang, you still can't control the situation," Yulang lowered his head in shame, but then raised it all of a sudden, his eyes were amazingly bright, "The subordinates crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they all relied on their own intuition to survive until now, and the subordinates don't believe that this is a simple coincidence." ”

"The lord said before that there are no accidents in this world, there are only inevitables, isn't it?" He looked at the man who was drinking himself.

The man in black put down his glass and looked sideways out the window.

His gaze stretched infinitely, as if he was looking at a person in the distance.

"You're right, it does," the man said.

"What?" Gyokuro's eyes widened in surprise.

"The thread you spoke of does exist." The man turned his head and stared into the eyes of the boy on the ground, distant and elusive.

"Lord...... You wouldn't mean ......" The teenager looked into the man's eyes, incredulous.

"Zhu Ying, Zhu Ying," the man snorted, "this name is really a coincidence and annoying." ”

"This Miss Zhu Jiu has always been notorious in Huizhou......" the young man said a little embarrassed, "I don't understand what you mean, lord......"

"Oh? Don't understand? The man drank the wine from his glass, dropped it, and stood against the window, "If you don't understand, you don't understand, I remember the name," he looked out the window as the sun set over the horizon.

"Heaven and earth have changed, let's look forward."

……

……

In the British Mansion, after a fruitless search, Mrs. Bai finally gave up the pursuit of the murderer for the time being.

Everyone's eyes focused on the old man in front of Zhu Kuan's corpse.

"By whom are you commanded? What's the picture? Why do you want to attack the British government" The swords of the black-armored cavalry pointed at the old man, and the white old lady's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he asked loudly.

The old man had no flesh on his body, the corners of his mouth were grinning, and an extremely ugly smile appeared on his thin face.

He looked around at the wounded or dead officers and soldiers, lowered his head and kicked Zhu Kuan's round corpse, and pulled out the dagger at his waist.

"Do you think I'm going to talk to you about it now? It's really stupid, no wonder it will be plotted to the point that you don't know who the enemy is hahaha! ”

The old man's dry and sharp laughter echoed above Shou'an Hall, and Old Lady Bai's face turned pale.

"Catch it alive." She whispered, "Something must come out of this old thing's mouth." ”

"Dream your big spring and autumn dreams!" The old man shouted, "You old immortal, don't even want to know who the enemy is in your life!" ”

When it was too late, the old man raised the dagger in his hand, and with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, he stabbed himself in the neck!

"Stop her!" Old Lady Bai's pupils shrank, and she shouted loudly in despair.

There was a crisp sound of "ding", and the dagger in the old man's hand was shot by a continuous arrow and flew out.

"It's you again." The old man said hatefully as he stared at Zhu Luan, who had loosened the bowstring in front of him.

"It just so happens that I want to ask you something, so you can't die yet." Zhu Luan said.

"You have it too? Then I'm really honored. The smile in the old man's eyes did not diminish, and he opened his mouth wide and gritted his teeth fiercely.

"Oops!" Zhu Luan suddenly screamed.

"What's ......" Zhu Rong deceived her and was about to ask her, but she heard exclamations all around.

The old man was bleeding and slowly fell.

"This is ......," Princess Jinyang's eyes widened on the side.

"It's a dead man, and the tooth socket hides a poison for suicide." Zhu Luan exhaled and said quietly.

There was a dead silence in the room, and no one was standing.

The setting sun shone on the ground, stained red like blood.

Zhu Luan lowered his bow and lowered his hand. Suddenly, a wave of warmth came from his side.

Her hand was suddenly grasped again.
