Chu Xun was about to go to bed in wide clothes, when suddenly a cold male voice sounded in the darkness: "Ah Xun." ”

He was startled and hurriedly looked around, only to realize that there was an inky figure on the chair in front of the desk. The man was dressed in a narrow-sleeved ink shirt, with a folding fan pinned to his waist, leaning in a chair, one hand on his head, his angular face under the candlelight was covered with a layer of dim light, and his eyes were closed under his slender eyelashes, and his expression was quiet, as if he was asleep. But despite his closed eyes, there was an invisible deterrence in him.

Chu Xun gasped, hurriedly bowed, and saluted respectfully, "My subordinates have seen Gongzi." ”

The man didn't raise his eyelids, "I haven't seen you for a long time, your martial arts are not as good as before, and you didn't even notice that I was here." It's a plain tone, and even a little lazy.

Chu Xun was dripping in a cold sweat when he heard this, lowered his head, and replied: "It's the son's martial arts that are outstanding, and Chu Xun is ashamed of himself." ”

The man did not accept his praise, but asked, "Where have you been today, and is there anything important among the black-clothed people?" Do you want to do it yourself? ”

Chu Xun broke out in a cold sweat and changed the topic: "When did the son come, why don't you let people spread the word." ”

The man finally opened his eyes, raised his head, and looked at him with a pair of phoenix eyes, staring at him so that his scalp was numb, "It's been a long time, they said you went out, so I waited here, I didn't expect to wait for so long." He stood up and moved his muscles, in the dark night, the sound of bones stretching was extremely harsh, I don't know how long he had been waiting, Chu Xun had a calm face and didn't dare to speak. The man straightened the folds of his clothes and repeated, "Ah Xun, where have you been today?" The tone, though flat, carried a majesty that could not be despised for contempt.

Chu Xun thought in his heart, why didn't he see anyone spread the word for a long time after he returned home? Suddenly, I thought of Song Lian's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and my heart was suddenly shocked. I hated myself for betting with her, why didn't I listen to her. Gritting his teeth, he said as calmly as possible: "It's just that I went out to meet a friend at the invitation of someone." ”

"What friend is so important that he delays you for so many hours?"

Chu Xun said: "It's not an important friend, it's just an old friend, I haven't seen him for many years, so I just talked a few more words." ”

"Really?" The man touched his jaw, thoughtful.

"Yes." Chu Xun still maintained a saluting posture, buried his head very low, but fortunately, it was night, the candlelight was dim, and the man could not see the sweat on his forehead.

"When old friends reunite, it's time to have a good chat." The man nodded, "Your friend is also my friend, and if you have the opportunity another day, you can also introduce me to you." ”

Chu Xun broke out in a cold sweat again, "He is just passing through here, and he doesn't plan to stay too long, he will leave tomorrow, I'm afraid he won't have a chance with his son." ”

"That's a shame."

Chu Xun was thinking about how to deal with it next, but the man didn't ask, he walked over, raised his hand, and his tone became gentle: "What are you doing with your bow." There are no outsiders here, so why be polite. ”

Chu Xun stepped back, avoided his hand, inadvertently wiped the sweat on his face, and raised his head, "You are a king, I am a minister." Knowing the grace of encounter, Chu Xun did not dare to forget, and the gift of the monarch and minister, Chu Xun could not surpass. ”

The man pouted, "I have already said that between you and me, there are no kings and ministers, only friends." He looked at Chu Xun with some puzzlement, and suddenly asked, "Ah Xun, you are so alienated today, it makes me feel that you seem to have something to hide from me." ”

Chu Xun's face turned pale, "Childe is too worried, how dare Chu Xun?" Pinched the corners of his sleeves and inquired, "Childe is here today, I don't know what happened?" ”

The man turned around and picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, frowned immediately, and then put it down again, it should be that the tea is cold.

Chu Xun said: "I'll let my subordinates make a new cup, right?" ”

The man waved his hand, "No need. I'm going to go to Yinxia, but I'm just passing by Yicheng to come and see you. ”

"What are you going to do in Yinxia?" Chu Xun asked.

"Oh, my father asked me to go to Yucheng to deliver the war letter." The man raised his eyebrows, and his tone was flat, even a little disdainful, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter that could not be more ordinary.

"What! Afternoon! Chu Xun was shocked, "It's going to start a fight so soon?" What is the reason for the teacher? ”

"Why?" The man sneered, "What else is the reason for fighting with Yin Xia, isn't it enough to say that the faint king is incompetent and does the right thing for the sky?" ”

Chu Xun was speechless. Indeed, since the Wu clan, the people of the Yin Xia Dynasty have lost their hearts, and now the princes are divided, the people are displaced, and the country has long been formed.

Chu Xun seemed to think of something, and frowned inadvertently, "Yin Xia shouldn't know about this matter, right?" ”

The man said: "The war book is still in my hands, how will they know." Chu Xun had a calm face, he didn't know what he thought, he didn't say a word, the man looked at him and didn't speak, turned around and was about to go out.

Chu Xun asked, "It's so late, where else is the son going?" ”

The man tilted his head: "Where else can I go when it's too late, naturally I went back to Yuhua Building to sleep." He clapped his hands and said, "You don't mind if I stay with you for two days, do you?" ”

Chu Xun said "oh", and said: "Your Majesty asked you to go to Yucheng, isn't this matter in a hurry?" ”

"There's no hurry. My father didn't give me a deadline, and I finally went out of the palace, how could I not take this opportunity to enjoy it? ”

Chu Xun said: "Yes." After finishing speaking, he found that the man had already walked out of a section, and he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Childe, please wait a minute." ”

"What else?" The man frowned, puzzled.

Chu Xun arched his hand, his face was embarrassed, "It's all subordinates who usually don't discipline well, and the subordinates are slack, that Yuhua Building has not lived for a long time, and now it's full of dust, so it's better for Gongzi to deign to live in the Fuyue Tower on the south side first." "Yuhua Building is located in the west, very close to Xilin Garden, if he discovers the existence of Shen Ji and the others, how should Chu Xun explain.

The man turned his head to look at him, as if he wanted to see something on his face, but Chu Xun always lowered his head, and under his wide sleeves, his hands were clenched unconsciously. After a moment, the man retracted his gaze and replied briskly: "That's right, it's okay, the scenery of Fuyue Tower is much better than that of Yuhua Building." He spread his hands and had already gone in a different direction.

Chu Xun breathed a sigh of relief for a moment.

The three princes of Dongyan are not valued by Emperor Yan because they are concubines, and this person acts perversely, does not like government affairs, prefers to chant the wind and the moon, poetry and wine, and likes to haunt the land of smoke and willows. Emperor Yan always thought that this son was not doing his job, and he was very gentlemanly, and he never took him to heart, nor did he entrust him with important tasks, even if he secretly went out of the palace to look for flowers and ask willows, he turned a blind eye. Therefore, it is rare for these three princes to often go out of the palace and go in and out of the rivers and lakes at will. Chengye travels all over the world, has a wide range of experience, and people all over the world say that the son's night poetry and wine are merry, and his heart is not in the government and the opposition, but in the rivers and lakes.

He deceived the world.

Chu Xun got acquainted with him seven years ago, and admired this person's chic and uninhibited behavior, young but rare calm and steady, and the most important thing is that the two were like-minded and became friends.

Without saying a word all the way, Chu Xun sent him to the Fuyue Tower, and went back without stopping.

Chengye sat in front of the case, listening to Chu Xun's footsteps gradually disappearing, and then his face suddenly sank, and he said solemnly: "Shadow, go and check who Ah Xun saw today, and what guests are in the West Chamber?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a man walked out of the darkness, the man was dressed in an ink-colored narrow-sleeved suit, unlike Chengye, his clothes were not decorated at all, and the clothes were extremely ordinary. He is more than seven feet tall, slender and thin, with a scimitar around his waist, his whole body is black, even his head is wrapped in a black cloth, and most of the face that is only exposed is still hidden under the mask, the silver mask covers the entire right side of his face, and he can't see the whole picture, but he has thin eyebrows and thin lips, and his expression is cold, and he can still see a little handsome, but a pair of blue eyes are as deep as a cold pool, his eyes are sharp, revealing a cold and cold coldness, which makes people dare not look directly, and the eagle-like high and straight nose bridge makes him handsome and straight, standing in the dark night, His whole being was like an eagle.

If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

He walked out, stopped three feet away from Chengye, waved his hand at his back, and said lightly, "Yes." There were no more words, and then, turning and opening the window, jumped down. Finally, don't forget to bring the window. However, there were no footsteps in the room, not even the sound of him jumping out of the window and landing on the ground.

It's as if the man didn't appear at all.

Silence returned to the room, and Cheng Ye glanced faintly at the window, turned around, moved the candlestick in front of him, took out a piece of letterhead from his sleeve and unfolded it, and looked carefully by the candlelight. The letterhead exuded a cold sandalwood fragrance, and the dark yellow letter paper was printed with bamboo cultivation, which was very elegant, and there were several rows of vigorous and powerful fonts neatly arranged on it, only sixteen words, which read:

"The battle of Gangshan is a promise. If you have a request today, I hope you will not give up. ”

At the end of the letter, a dark red seal was printed, the size of a thumb, and it was clearly visible to the night, which was a compilational "Luo" character.

In the whole world, among the four seas, there is only one person who has this seal.
