"Hiss......" He raised his hand to cover the swollen and aching corners of his forehead, and slowly opened his eyes.

In front of me, it was still the pitch black that I was already familiar with. The cold stone pillow leaned under him, and the brocade was extraordinarily thin.

"Your Excellency, you're awake." Suddenly, a respectful voice came from outside.

It's his guards. Hearing the sound of the voice, he got up from the bed and put on the robe hanging on the wall: "What's the matter?" ”

He walked over to the stone scale and sat down slowly. There was steaming tea next to it, which should have been brought by the guards just now.

But there were two teacups on the table, and he was slightly startled.

"My lord, it's the banner envoy who is here. He's under the city now, are you going to meet ......," said the guard, kneeling at the door.

It seems that what should come will still come. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly, and put down the teacup he picked up.

He stood up from the stone bench and waved his hand to the guard: "Go." Why should I hide when he's here? ”

The hall on the ground floor behind the fortress gates, although lit with candles, was also very dim. The furnishings here are deserted, and although it is nominally a reception hall, it has not been taken care of for a long time.

The guard asked Xiao Wuye to go up and wait, but he refused. He watched it with great interest, pacing back and forth, waiting to hear the sound and come down to meet him.

Soon, the familiar pace, following the echo of the corridor, gradually fell into his ears.

“…… The waves of the river cover the roots of the clouds, and the chess knocks on the danger and buries the sorrowful marks. The long night is cold and deep, and a few drops break the lonely soul. ”

Then I saw the same familiar figure.

As if it had never changed, Xiao Wuye looked at his colleagues who were gradually coming out of the darkness, his eyebrows and eyes did not change at all, and he couldn't help but sneer.

"It seems that after being stationed in Heishuiyuan for a long time, your state of mind has also been assimilated." After listening to the verses he slowly chanted, Xiao Wuye turned his back and smacked his lips gently, but his face did not care.

Thorough heard the sound and walked into the hall. He saw Xiao Wuye, and his face did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"Long and cold nights, boring, spontaneous." He also replied in the same tone, "The banner envoy came, but I was sluggish to take over." ”

"If you're a colleague, why be sarcastic." Xiao Wuye walked towards him, "It's all for the shadow lord's hegemony, but the division of labor is different." ”

Hearing this, he nodded, and saw him walking in this direction, and turned around as well.

"Let's go up together." He said indifferently.

"Whatever the guest wants." Xiao Wuye squeezed his eyebrows and followed.

The inside of the Blackwater Barrier is tortuous and huge, lonely but magnificent. Following the sound of the ground and walking up layer by layer, Xiao Wuye stroked the water droplets hanging on the dark stone wall, his eyes were unpredictable.

The two of them walked all the way up, and the guards had already prepared hot tea and chairs for them. The light in the stone room, which is not too wide, is brighter, reflecting the slow rotation of the tea leaves in the cup, slowly sinking.

Hearing the sound of the sound led him in, and the two of them sat down one after another. After a pause, he took the lead in picking up the teacup and asked, "I don't know why the flag envoy came this time." ”

Xiao Wuye bowed his head, as if he was thinking about how to express it.

"I'm here to tell you that your days are running out." He also picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Oh?" Hearing this, the corners of his forehead trembled secretly.

Xiao Wuye glanced at him and narrowed his eyes: "It means that you have been lurking here for so long, and the results you have obtained will soon be seen by the Shadow Lord." ”

It seemed to be a congratulatory word, but when I heard it in my ears, I felt that Xiao Wuye seemed to have a kind of off-string sound.

But he quickly discarded that idea. He cares about chaos now, Xiao Wuye and the shadow master, should not know his plan yet.

"Yes...... he said, turning his neck and speaking in a calm tone, "it seems that time flies quickly." ”

He avoided the important and did not respond positively. It's just that the shadow lord is going to use the power of the naval army here now, and he still can't avoid some surprises about to come.

"It's not going to be fast. has been buried for so many years of revenge, but the shadow lord is ready for everything. Xiao Wuye calmly carried a scorching heat, as if he was looking forward to it, "Finally, the shadow lord's hegemony is about to begin." ”

Knowing the personality of Xiao Wuye, he didn't answer his words. But he is also looking forward to it, because that day, the Avengers are not the only one.

"Therefore, for the sake of this moment, the naval forces under your command cannot tolerate the slightest mistake." Xiao Wuye's tone quickly cooled, and he looked to the side and didn't seem to be very excited.

Hearing this, he adjusted his mind and nodded as usual: "Since that's the case, I know." The Blackwater Barrier is on standby. ”

Xiao Wuye snorted from his nose, but there was no look of displeasure. He blew on the hot air in his tea and took a few sips in silence.

Putting down the teacup, he took out a letter from his bosom without hesitation and pressed it on the table: "Okay." This is the Shadow Master's arrangement, and you just need to follow it. ”

Hearing the sound thoroughly, he held down the letterhead with two fingers and dragged it to his side. He didn't take it apart in front of him, but took it into his arms.

"The strength of the Blackwater Barrier is critical, and you must not act without authorization." Xiao Wuye added without waves.

Hearing this, he still nodded. The corners of his eyes twitched, but they couldn't be seen in the backlit light.

This group of his sailors is indeed the deepest buried arrow in the Nine Thorough Shadows. It seems that the shadow master is also afraid of him, so he will let Xiao Wuye come to convey such a signal to himself.

After all, the other bannermen have the power to act autonomously, but he has always been ordered to be stationed, and now he is ordered to dispatch.

He smiled inwardly, but felt a little desolate. Like a bound puppet, his sharp weapon, even the shadow master, had to be used so carefully.

Seeing that he had no other emotions, Xiao Wuye also felt a burst of joy. He coughed lightly twice, and then said slowly: "In this case, the shadow master's explanation is over." ”

Hearing this, he was about to get up, and at the same time prepared to summon someone to see off the guests.

"Hey, not busy." But Xiao Wuye smiled strangely and pressed his wrist.

Hearing this, his face changed slightly, and his half-raised body sat down again.

Seeing his puzzled look, Xiao Wuye was not in a hurry to speak. He drank the tea in the cup, wiped his mouth, and said, "Long time no see, this time I plan to catch up with you." ”

Hearing this, he frowned. How can he and this shadow master's lackey have any old feelings to talk about, just doing things out of colleagues, and they are not how close colleagues they are.

"Reminiscing, I don't think it's necessary." He simply refused.

But Xiao Wuye didn't end the conversation like this. He went further: "Why bother to be so angry? Although you and I are not close personal friends, I still admire you very much. ”

"Appreciation?" Hearing his words, he raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Wuye was very sincere, he curled the corners of his mouth, and changed to a more comfortable posture: "Among the four of us, I admire you the most." ”
