When night falls, a mist rises on the surface of the lake, and red lanterns light up in the middle of the lake. The sound of silk and bamboo mixed with the sound of talking and laughing across the water, and the sound of the woman on the painting boat laughing is pleasant, and this picture has become the scenery on Mingyue Lake.

On the shore of the lake is a forest of lush shade and the fragrance of wildflowers.

"I haven't seen these paintings before, but they suddenly appeared in the past two days, is it because the weather is hot?" After eating cold noodles in the morning, the people became lazy, sat in the grass by the lake, and said softly.

Shen Run stood beside her, looking at the painting boat in the lake, and after a while, said: "Without an official background, even the most famous flower boat in Yicheng does not dare to entertain foreigners." ”

"Are you saying that Empress Dowager Gu specially prepared a painting boat to entertain the people of Chiyang Kingdom and Yanyun Kingdom?"

"Even if it wasn't for the acquiescence of Empress Dowager Gu, the owners of these painting boats are not ordinary people."

Chenguang supports his cheeks with one hand.

There happened to be a painting boat rowing very close to the shore of the lake, and the laughter of men and women on it gave Chenguang goosebumps. Chenguang could clearly hear that a man named "Heart and Liver Baby" on the painting boat had a strong Chiyang accent.

It's no wonder that they will be so lively, it is a very lonely thing to open the Five Congresses, the distance is far away, intrigues, and there are many trivial things, the most important thing is that the basic people who come to the Five Congresses, the pressure has accumulated too much, and almost no one will refuse to be gentle in such a situation, no wonder they are so happy.

"The Gu family and the Chiyang Kingdom are fighting for each other in the five countries, and they are about to shout out, are they doing it for others to see?" Chenguang held his cheeks and said slowly.

"Who knows." Shen Run responded casually.

"There is no credibility between countries than between people, if you say that you are reconciled, you will be reconciled, and if you say that you have broken your face, as long as it is beneficial to both parties, even if it is a short-term win-win situation, you can immediately be intimate as if nothing had happened." Chenguang said coolly.

Shen Run laughed.

Chenguang changed to hold his cheeks with his hands: "Maybe the conflict between Cangqiu Kingdom and Chiyang Kingdom is for us to see, on the surface, water and fire are incompatible, let us think that their war is about to break out, let us think that we are bystanders to relax our vigilance, and as a result, it is very likely that when the war is launched, Cangqiu Kingdom will fight Longxi Kingdom, Chiyang Kingdom will swallow Fengming Kingdom, and then they will divide it again." ”

Shen Run smiled: "It's not impossible. ”

Morninglight lowered his head and let out a long sigh.

Shen Run laughed even deeper.

"Even if the Gu family and Emperor Chiyang are not playing, they are really-for-tat, but some people in Cangqiu Country and some people in Chiyang Country may not have the same idea."

"Who are you referring to?" Chenguang asked.

Shen Run smiled but did not answer.

Chenguang flattened his mouth, knowing that he would not answer her honestly, so he did not ask.

"That brother of yours ......" Shen Run suddenly mentioned Si Yujin and said with a smile, "It seems to be very honest, silent, closed door, I almost forgot that he was with him." ”

"Why do you think of him again?" Chenguang asked.

Shen Run did not answer.

Halfway through his words, it was as if he wanted to arouse her interest, but he didn't let her follow his words and think deeply.

At this moment, a terrible scream came from a distance, it was the woman's scream, terrible, terrible, it was extreme fear. The scream lasted for a short time, only for a moment, and caused no commotion except for a few night birds. The boat was in the center of the lake, it was getting late, there was no one on the shore of the lake, and after that scream, the dense forest by the lake was quiet again, but this tranquility was like a short pause before the heart beat fast, which made people feel uneasy.

Morninglight stood up and walked towards the source of the voice.

Shen Run walked faster than her and walked ahead of her.

The two of them did not deliberately speed up their pace, and walked unhurriedly to the place where the scream had just come out, and they smelled a strong smell of blood from a long distance.

The smell of blood was too strong, and the morning light couldn't help it, and his steps were crooked.

Shen Run was slightly stunned and subconsciously shook her hand.

The two men continued to walk, and then they saw the corner of the embroidered skirt peeking out from behind a large thick tree.

Shen Run let go of Chenguang's hand and walked over first, and walked around to the other side of the big tree, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman, with bright makeup and revealing clothes, at first glance it was a woman on the flower boat. She sat with her back against the trunk of the tree, her eyes wide open, probably because of the fierce struggle, there were many wounds on her exposed skin, and her front and upper body were stained with a lot of blood, which had not yet dried up.

The most bloodstained was where she sat beneath her, and beside her, lay the bodies of two young men, who were even more bloody than the woman, and almost all the places on their bodies that could have caused massive bleeding were torn open, as if they had been gnawed by wild beasts.

Two men and one woman, three people no longer look like people, but three dried corpses, shriveled and lifeless.

The violent smell of blood and the tragic bloody scenes are more terrifying than simply encountering a few corpses.

Shen Run frowned, feeling sick.

To his surprise, he originally thought that Chenguang should be very accustomed to bloody pictures, but who knew that after Chenguang saw the blood in front of him, he felt unwell, so he actually turned his back, walked two steps quickly, and retched while holding on to a tree trunk.

Shen Run was surprised, and walked over to soothe her back, wondering how she could feel disgusting, what she did was comparable to this......

What did she do......

Shen Run frowned suddenly.

He soothed her back, and after a while, she improved slightly, straightened her waist, and then she avoided his hand, turned around, and walked straight to the three corpses, first standing in front of the two male corpses and looking, then walking to the sitting female corpse, pulling out a soft sword from her waist and placing it on the female corpse's neck, gently shifting the woman's face to the side a little, staring at it for a while.

Shen Run stood in the distance, looking at her back, his eyes narrowing slightly. He suddenly felt that it was also a talent to be able to immediately recognize Chenguang and become Si Chen in the grove by the lake in the black light.

Suddenly, the footsteps of four or five people sounded in the distance, accompanied by the sound of talking, breaking the silence in the woods.

Shen Run frowned, and when he was still subconsciously looking in the direction of the voice, there was a slight abnormal sound next to him, and the crown above his head seemed to shake twice, and when he turned his head again, Si Chen was gone.

Shen Run was dumbfounded.

That's a fast run!

On the way back, Si Chen was silent.

Shen Run treats Si Chen as naturally as Chenguang, and after observing her on the road for a long time, he couldn't help but open his mouth and asked:

"Did you find anything?"

Si Chen glanced at him and replied coldly, "No." ”

Probably she wouldn't tell him if she had.

Shen Run didn't know what to say, and after a while, he couldn't help but open his mouth again and asked her:

"Chenguang, does she hate blood?"

Si Chen looked at him and replied coldly, "I hate it too." ”

“…… Oh. "Count him as talkative.
