The three black shadows scurried through the moonlight, and finally stopped outside a very ordinary-looking farmhouse courtyard. The fence around the yard was loosely erected, and with a slight push from the man in black, the fence that was useless was quietly opened.

There is no organ outside the hospital, and there is no intention of guarding against secret posts along the way.

Is it because this place is far safer than Yue imagined, or is Tianji overconfident?

Yue and Xiao Wei followed the man in black and walked in, there was no light in the room, only a small charcoal stove was 'crackling' and burning, and a teapot on the stove was faintly exuding the familiar fragrance of tea.

"I haven't seen you for many days, is everything okay with Miss Jin?"

Tianji's voice sounded a little weak, but he was in good spirits.

The person who brought them over just now untied his mask as soon as he entered the door, and sure enough, it was Qi Zhen.

Yu Niang was taking care of the charcoal fire by the stove, and when she saw Yue coming in, she immediately burst into a warm smile.

"You have arrived safely. Zhen'er has been gone for so long, but there is no news at all, I am really worried about me, but my uncle refuses to let me go out to have a look. ”

"Could it be that Qi Zhen was specially sent by his predecessors to pick us up?"

"That's nature, this place is not as simple as it seems, if I don't pick you up, you won't find it."

Qi Zhen answered, it was the first time Yue had heard such a clear voice from him, and it seemed that his injuries had improved a lot. As for the mood, as long as Yu Niang is by his side, why worry.

"Can't find it?"

Xiao Wei and Yue exchanged a look, but they only saw each other's eyes full of doubts.

"Put more tea leaves, it's still long tonight."

Tianji took a sip of tea, and was not in a hurry to answer Xiao Wei's question, but turned back to Yu Niang and Qi Zhen and gave an order. It looks like I won't be able to sleep tonight, but it's good news to see that they're all safe.

"This village is not big, but it is not small, how can the seniors be sure that we must have entered the village from that location?"

"This is the time of the year when the wheat grows wildly, and according to my plan, those half-man-high wheat fields are the best cover for the two of you. As a result, I took a look and found that the time for fertilization this year was so late. Even if General Xiao can ruthlessly remove his feet, Miss Jin may not be able to bear it. So I thought about it, and the only way between the woods and the mountains could be fought. ”

Xiao Wei didn't recognize Tianji, but he guessed that the woman by the stove should be the jade girl that Yue kept talking about.

He originally thought that this plan was set by Yue and Yu Niang, so this Yu Niang should also be a strange woman with outstanding wisdom.

But now it seems that this quiet old man is the real master.

"I have admired General Xiao's name for a long time, and today I can see that he is really a talent, and he is worthy of being the most outstanding among the younger generation."

Xiao Wei was secretly distracted, but Tianji suddenly turned his gaze to Xiao Wei.

"The seniors have an overreputation, Xiao Wei is just a reckless man, and he can't afford to be praised by his predecessors."

"Affectionate and righteous, not surprised, Miss Jin's vision is really good."

Tianji stroked his beard and nodded appreciatively. Qi Zhen put a teacup in front of Yue, and showed an unprecedented smile, and then immediately went back to accompany Yu Niang to take care of the stove.

Although his smile was only a brief glimpse, Yue understood what he meant.

What he has done today will not be forgotten, and he will meet in the spring to repay him every day.

"Xiao Wei is not stupid, and he has never figured out what secrets are hidden in this Xingtao Village, and he asked his seniors for advice."

"It seems that General Xiao's impatience is not in vain. What about Miss Jin? What did you find? ”

"What I can see, my predecessors must have seen it a long time ago, and maybe even what I see is from my predecessors. If there was something there, how could the seniors not know about it? ”

"Heh, I really got you guessed."

"Are those files really forged by my predecessors?"

"It's not a forgery, it's just a half-truth."

"With the skills of the predecessors, it is clear that they can do better, how can they leave such a big flaw?"

"At that time, I was still young, and I always wanted to make everything perfect, but I ignored that some things could not be perfect in the first place, and the more perfect they were, the more loopholes they became. Later I understood, but it didn't matter anymore. ”

"Why?"

"It's all in the past, so don't mention it, but this time I have to use this village."

Yu Niang put the rich and fragrant teapot on the table, and then sat down next to Qi Zhen. Through the faint rising smoke, Tianji finally began his story.

It turned out that many things had happened since Yue left the palace.

Some things were already in their plans, such as the surveillance of them and the gradual weakening of Tianji's influence on the Qi clan.

This is not an easy task.

Because he has been sitting in the position of Tianji for more than 30 years, he is the longest-living Tianji in the history of the Qi clan, and almost all the most outstanding clansmen in the Qi clan have his shadow behind them.

Even though he is now old and rarely interferes in the affairs of the clan, he is still the only Tianji in the hearts of many people.

For some, his status even surpasses that of Qi Quan.

Because, although there are only two people who have officially bowed to him, almost half of the existing people in the Qi clan have to call him a teacher.

With Qi Quan's means, it is not too difficult to quietly make Qi Yu and Qi Zhen disappear. Even if others are dissatisfied, they will not offend Qi Quan for the sake of these two juniors, but if he wants to attack Tianji, then the price is likely to be the division of the entire Qi clan.

This is an inescapable fact, and Qi Quan knows it very well in his heart.

Although this also confirms his failure in some aspects, he has to face this fact.

He is also very clear about this matter, after all, his influence on the Qi family is not even as good as Qi Quan.

Therefore, when Tianji stood opposite Qi Quan for Qi Yu and Qi Zhen, both Qi Quan was a little unacceptable and unprepared.

In Qi Quan's heart, his junior brother has always been gentle and cowardly, although he has been in the position of Tianji for more than 30 years, he still has not been able to erase his kindness and cowardice.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have watched that person die, but he didn't even dare to see her for the last time.

There is a person who you know is very powerful, but you are sure that he will never dare to betray, so you never really take him seriously, and even disdain him a little.

But he actually openly stood on the opposite side of him for the sake of two dispensable chess pieces.

So his first reaction was an uncontrollable outburst.

He felt betrayed, not only because it was the junior brother he had watched grow up, but also because of his authority as a patriarch and senior brother, and even someone he had never really seen as a threat.

At that moment, he had almost lost all his senses, perhaps because he couldn't face it, and those long-suppressed resentments, he just wanted to kill him desperately.

Fortunately, he was stopped in time. In this matter, the death is far more sober and objective than him.

But what he can do is only to stabilize the situation temporarily.

Tianji can't move, otherwise it is very likely to become a lead to destroy the entire Qi clan.

But the Jade Niang and Qi Zhen behind him must not be let go, otherwise the already turbulent Qi clan may soon have a second or third Jade Niang or Qi Zhen.

So he chose to give in at that time, but immediately after that, he sent someone to isolate the three of them.

Whatever the reason, they will be reasonably refused, that is, they will not be allowed to step out of the yard for half a step, and everything sent in must be strictly checked.

But what they didn't expect was that Tianji had already made arrangements, and it was the night that Yue and he made a plan. The funeral arrangements have not yet been completed, but the line of Dimensity has been buried.

And the signal for the start of the plan is the appearance of Yue or Xiao Wei.

Yue always thought that those days were empty because Tianji was trapped and couldn't send the news out, she guessed the first half, but she didn't guess the second half.

In fact, Tianji's news had been sent out as early as when she hadn't left the palace, but it was only because she and Xiao Wei had been nesting in the dance building that it couldn't be delivered to her.

Because Tianji had already thought that after that night, he would probably never have the freedom to come and go as he pleased.

In fact, Tianji is a far better chess player than Qi Quan, because what he sees is never the chess in front of him, but the chess after a few or even dozens of moves.

But he will never be a real chess player, because he simply cannot abandon any chess piece with peace of mind.

The bravest and most crazy thing he has ever done in his life is to sit in the position of Tianji desperately and avenge the death of his family.

But since then, the word "Dimensity" has only been a heavy and painful shackle to him.

His cowardice was innate, but his kindness was due to her.

Actually, he is a good person, although it is a bit ridiculous to say so.

Who would think that a man with blood on his hands is a good person?

But this is the rivers and lakes, and there are always many things that are more important than simple human life.

Therefore, if Qi Quan wants to attack Tianji, then there will be many people who would rather sacrifice their lives to protect Tianji.

Therefore, Tianji never thinks that this kindness is a bad thing.

On the contrary, he has always felt relieved.

Fortunately, he still retains this kindness, and fortunately he finally lived up to her expectations.

In fact, there are some things that Senior Brother should have known, or even more clearly than he knew.

If Senior Brother knew, then I'm afraid he wouldn't have agreed to let them out anyway.

Unfortunately, he gave up on what he should have known.

Senior brother always thought that it was his appearance that ruined the last trace of possibility between them. But in fact, it was he who destroyed all the possibilities between them with his own hands.

Life and death are like lonely days and nights, even if the distance between them is only a thin and slender horizon, they can never be together.

Although the senior brother will never understand, even if he figures it out one day in the future, so what.

She had gone so long ago.

It's already too late.

However, even if some people are long gone, there will still be many people living in her shadow.

For example, such as him, such as these people in Xingtao Village.
