"Why did you come back alone?" said a middle-aged man in a gray plain robe, Xiao He on the other side bowed his head a little crampedly.

"My subordinates are not doing well, but I didn't expect that there was an error in the intelligence, which led to... As a result, we are understaffed. Xiao He hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, this person in front of him is not so easy to get along with, but the deputy hall master of their hall, named Xue Haifeng, is a real master of the Transformation Period.

Xue Haifeng's face couldn't see any expression at the moment, and he didn't say a word when he played with the short sword in his hand.

Xiao He just stood quietly, and his heart became more and more worried, not knowing what kind of punishment he would face.

After a long time, Xue Haifeng finally spoke: "Are you the only one left in this operation, I heard that a newcomer participated in the mission this time." ”

"Back to the hall master, this mission has lost two people, and one person is unable to move around due to injury, so I didn't take him with me, well, the person who is alive is the newcomer. Xiao He didn't know what Xue Haifeng meant in his heart, so he had to bite the bullet and say truthfully.

"Oh, the newcomer is still alive?... Well, when he's better, you can bring him to meet me, okay, it's time to talk about you, although the information is wrong this time, but it's also true that you didn't complete the task, and you should have done things according to the rules... However, if the matter happened suddenly this time, the rules can also be changed, but it depends on how you behave?"

"The hall master... I... I. Xiao He was a little panicked.

"What are you, now I have a new task here, and I am short of manpower, why don't you want to?" Xue Haifeng looked at Xiao He quietly and said, his eyes could not see anything else mixed with misery.

"Huh? The subordinates are willing!" Xiao He breathed a long sigh of relief, she really wanted to deviate from something.

"You haven't heard about any tasks yet, so you slowly agreed, don't regret it when the time comes!" Xue Haifeng said with a smile.

"My subordinates are willing to listen to the hall master's arrangement!" Xiao He said with his hands clenched into fists and bowed his head.

"Well... In that case, then I will arrange your next task, you have to sneak into the palace this time, go and take out something for me, rest assured, someone will answer you. Xue Haifeng pondered for a moment and arranged.

Xiao He listened carefully to everything Xue Haifeng said, and fell into thoughtfulness.

"Remember what I said today, you don't let a third person know, hmph, if I find out, you should know the consequences. The night after tomorrow when the time comes, I will inform you to leave, and you will not go anywhere during this time, so you can go down and rest first. Xue Haifeng waved his hand to signal that Xiao He could go down.

Let's talk about Chen Zixuan's side.

He was closing his eyes on the stone bench at the moment, and Uncle Chen, who was always around him, didn't know where he went, this was a small garden, there was a banyan tree in the middle of the garden, and there was a stone table and four stone benches under the banyan tree, Chen Zixuan was here.

I don't know how long it took, but finally there was a sound of footsteps, and it gradually came from far to near.

"My lord, it's really you, hahahaha, I knew you would be fine. The person who spoke was a member of Chen Zixuan's old department, this person was dressed in a light blue robe, and he didn't look very old. Of the three people who accompanied him, only one was a woman, and the woman looked to be in her forties, and the traces of time were already evident on her face, the other was a thin man, very tall, but too thin, to give people a sense of incongruity, and the last one was gray-haired, and looked like a man.

Chen Zixuan opened his eyes and glanced at everyone.

"I didn't expect to be able to contact a few of you, hehe, but it's not bad, you should be a subordinate of A Bingsan, why didn't Jia Bingsan come. Chen Zixuan said to the person who spoke just now.

"Lord A... He... Because those who are not convinced have been... Killed. The man said with a choked voice.

"Hey..."Chen Zixuan didn't have much, he actually had the answer in his heart, how could he not understand Jia Bingsan's temper.

After being silent for a moment, Chen Zixuan asked again, "What's your name?"

"It's good that adults call me Jia Bingding, Lord A saved me back then, if it weren't for him, I would have been..." After entering the 'Hidden Dragon Guard', many people only have a code name, and their real names are not allowed to be called here, which is also a rule to prevent some accidents.

"Well... Huoyan, you are still the same, Geng Lao, it is really a happy thing that you can still come, Ding Wu, why are you still so thin!" Chen Zixuan looked at these old acquaintances and called them with some joy.

Huoyan is the woman, Geng Lao is the person who looks like Langzhong, and the last one goes without saying that he can know who it is. Except for Geng Lao, who is not a martial artist, the others all have a strong appearance, and each of them looks a little stronger than Liu Xiangguo.

"Hehe, it's a pleasure to see adults again, your lord, you are still the same, it seems that martial arts have been raised again. Huoyan said kindly, she had a crush on Chen Zixuan for a long time.

"I've seen adults!" Geng Lao is still the same, and his speech is always so concise and to the point.

"My lord, don't laugh at me, isn't it because of my practice, hey..."Ding Wu shook his head with a smile, every time he saw Chen Zixuan, he would always tease himself, after so many years, it was really the same as back then.

Chen Zixuan looked very happy today, without the tense appearance of the past, and chatted with his old subordinates about the big and small affairs that had happened over the years.

Lin Yiyi and their faces were tense at the moment, the task came too suddenly just now, which made her a little shocked, since the last incident, she has not been assigned a mission, and the organization does not know what happened to her that night, that night, when she came back, she deliberately cut herself with a sword, and lied that she fought with that person for many rounds, and finally escaped back, the organization looked at her miserable appearance, and did not delve into anything, just let her recuperate.

Brother Xiao that Fang Rong said that day was a man with Lin Yiyi's childhood sweetheart, they were brought to the 'Hidden Dragon Guard' since they were children, and they grew up together and gradually had a little friendship, but no one broke it. Anyone outside could see that they were a little bit interested in each other, but neither of them said it.

"Brother Xiao's mission hasn't come back yet, and you're going to have another mission now, hey, it seems that you won't be able to see each other for a long time. Fang Rong said unevenly for Lin.

"No... It doesn't matter, we don't have so much time in this industry, of course, the task is the most important. When Fangrong mentioned Brother Xiao, for some reason, Lin Yiyi's mind appeared like Liu Rufeng, she shook her head hard, trying to forget about this person, but the more she was like this, the clearer it became in her mind.

"Yiyi, what's wrong with you, are you still injured, or I'll talk about it and see if I can keep you from going on a mission." Fang Rong looked at Lin Yiyi with a somewhat strange appearance, and kindly persuaded her.

"It's okay~ I can do it, maybe it was because of the previous martial arts practice, and besides, I don't need to use force for this mission, just to find out the news. Lin Yiyi pretended to be calm and said.

Liu Rufeng is still a little worried about Xiao He, although he can't use force now, but he can already walk like ordinary people, he thought about it, except for those people, no one should be able to recognize himself, luck should not be so bad, after a morning of ideological struggle, he still decided to go to Zilan County to see, although he didn't know where Xiao He was, he thought of Chen Zixuan again, and he didn't know where he was now, whether the big exam was high school?

The twilight sky, half of the fiery clouds, and the golden afterglow sprinkled over the entire Zilan County.

Liu Rufeng panted and sat on a tea stall, at the moment he was in Zilan County, which gave him a feeling of both familiarity and strangeness, what was familiar was that there were a lot of stories happening here, and what was strange was that there were strange people and strange places all over his eyes.

Liu Rufeng, who had taken another sip of tea, suddenly stood up from the stool, and a certain back in the distance was so familiar.

Liu Rufeng didn't say a word, paid for the tea and chased after him.

"It's getting late today, we're looking for it tomorrow? Anyway, there's still plenty of time, or let's go to the newly opened cloth shop, I heard that there are a few good ones recently." Fang Rong took Lin Yiyi's arm and said.

"Let's go to another one, and if not, we'll go there." The temptation of clothes doesn't seem to mean much to Lin Yiyi.

"You, every mission is so serious, okay, my Miss Lin, listen to your general line! Anyway, wait a minute, you have to give me a staff officer!" Fang Rong looked at Lin Yiyi's serious eyes, so she had to compromise and said.

"Hehe, see if you're in a hurry, wait a minute, I'll show our big beauty, hey, the longer it gets, the more tender it gets, after this, I don't know how many ignorant teenagers will be harmed." Lin Yiyi laughed, and just raised her head and was about to leave, but she saw the man who had bothered her to this day.

The four eyes are facing each other, different from the pure feeling with Xiao He, there is a little more indescribable feelings, obviously two strangers, why is there that kind of desire, the desire is mixed with a little anger and helplessness, or a little pity and self-blame, the two sides obviously didn't say a word, but they seemed to understand everything from each other's eyes.
