The spring breeze blows the spring rain, and the spring rain soaks the spring, as if overnight, Meishan has faded into silver and replaced with a green.

In the verdant mountains, a black robe slowly walked up along the mountain road. With his hands behind his back, his face was indifferent, and he didn't bother to take a look at the many guards who were wrapped in yellow satin around his waist. Even if two of these dozen people were in the frost realm, they didn't take even half of their eyes away.

When the middle-aged Taoist and the guard commander saw this person, they each put away their swords and swords, and they were as if they had met the elders of the sect, and they couldn't say anything in a low voice.

"See the Grand Governor. ”

The black-robed man walked past them, and fourteen saluted respectfully.

The black robe didn't stop, let alone look back, just hummed softly in response. But everyone felt the lightness, as if a heavy hammer had struck on their hearts.

The face of the middle-aged Taoist who was enshrined in Ouchi suddenly turned pale, and a trace of blush slipped from the corner of his mouth. The remaining Ouchi guards were shocked, and they didn't dare to say more.

The black-robed man walked not far in front of Xiao Yu and stood opposite Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up.

The eyes of the two met slightly in mid-air, Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, and this person spoke: "You didn't ask me when you came back privately, you have more ability and courage." ”

His tone was not hurried, it should be said that he was calm and indifferent. But the more he was so cold and calm, the more the people around him felt a sense of oppression that was almost suffocating.

Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, the voice Xiao Lie didn't put into his mouth after all, he also said calmly: "Father." ”

This black robe is Xiao Yu's father, Xiao Lie.

The Governor of the Secret Guard, Xiao Lie, the Duke of Anguo.

Xiao Lie looked at his son, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he didn't know whether to smile or want to say something.

But he still didn't say anything after all, and there was no expression on his face, and after a while he said, "Leave Tianlan behind and go back to the palace." ”

The slanting sun was blood-red, dragging long black shadows on the ground, like the evil ghosts of hell.

Xiao Lie's words were very polite, it seemed that all these years of experience as a secret guard had made him sweep away all the scholars in his early years.

The pale-faced middle-aged Daoist's body shook suddenly. A hesitant look appeared on his face, as if he wanted to move out the great god King Jin, but after struggling repeatedly, he still gave up this idea, stuck the Tianlan giant sword behind him on the ground, and led the Ouchi guards behind him down the mountain in a gray manner.

It's a mess.

Xiao Yu had imagined many times that he and Xiao Lie would meet again, but he never thought that the meeting between the two would be so peaceful, so calm that it was really like a long-lost reunion of a father and son.

Xiao Lie made a casual move, and Tianlan flew into his hand. He carefully studied the greatsword in his hand and remained silent.

Xiao Yu smiled reluctantly, "Why did my father come today?"

Xiao Lie replied without raising his head: "I'm here for you." ”

Xiao Yu smiled, "I'm here for Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Xiao Lie looked at him and said indifferently: "I know this, and we don't need these meaningless politeness between father and son." ”

Xiao Yu was silent.

Xiao Lie stretched out his hand and wiped it on Tianlan, the Tianlan Giant Sword flashed a trace of vitality fluctuation and then returned to calm, and the connection between the middle-aged Taoist and Tianlan that had only been established for several years was easily erased by Xiao Lie.

The middle-aged Taoist who had already walked towards the foot of the mountain suddenly turned paler, as if transparent, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out and fell on a guard behind him.

He gritted his teeth and looked back halfway up the mountain, his face gloomy, but in the end he remained silent.

"There is a war on the grassland, and you only have a broken array given to you by your mother, this weapon that Tianlan Quan gave you to protect yourself. Xiao Lie threw Tianlan, who was already in an ownerless state, at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu took it in amazement, in all fairness, the situation was urgent, and he decided to return to the Eastern Capital without hesitation, but he never wanted to meet Xiao Lie. Because he wasn't sure what Xiao Lie's attitude was towards him, if he was careless and was robbed and killed by Xiao Lie, Xiao Yu thought that he didn't have any means to defeat Xiao Lie. Even if he has advanced to the realm of frost walking, he has no chance of winning in the face of Xiao Lie.

Xiao Lie seemed to be thinking about something until Xiao Yu, and said lightly: "Are you thinking why I didn't kill you?"

Xiao Yu carried Tianlan behind him and said calmly, "Yes." ”

The smile on Xiao Lie's face suddenly spread, making Xiao Yu feel a little surprised, how many years had he not seen Xiao Lie smile like this? Three years? Or five years?

He laughed and said, "Many people are waiting for me to kill you, but why should I kill my own son?"

Xiao Yu sneered: "Because you killed your son's mother." ”

Xiao Lie's smile retracted, "I personally sent that cup of poisonous wine to Fang Xuan, and watched her drink it little by little." It would not be wrong to say that I killed her with my own hands. ”

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, then exhaled a breath of turbidity, and waited for the following.

Xiao Lie continued unhurriedly: "I never deny this, and I won't find some boring reasons for myself, just kill it." So what?"

Xiao Yu coldly spit out a sentence: "Being a husband in vain." ”

Xiao Lie turned around, looked at the lonely tomb from afar, and said softly, "You're right. ”

Xiao Yu took another breath, and somehow, he had the feeling of punching the cotton. He even had an illusion that this was the Xiao Lie he remembered.

sighed and sighed, and after a while, Xiao Lie turned around and turned back into the Xiao Lie that Xiao Yu was familiar with.

All the expressions on his face slowly faded, and finally he regained his composure, "But I'm glad to see you rampant this time before you have achieved your ambition." I haven't forgotten what my father-in-law taught you about gentlemanly etiquette. ”

Xiao Yu did not deny it, nor did he admit it, his left hand under his sleeve kept clenching, and then let go, and said: "I salute the etiquette, and it is my father before I tied my hair." ”

Xiao Lie looked at him expressionlessly.

Xiao Yu did not choose to avoid it.

Under the slanting sun, the evening breeze rises, walking through the mountains and forests, countless leaves rattle, as if the entire Meishan has come to life.

Xiao Lie said indifferently: "National law, patriarchal law, no matter what aspect it is, I have the right to kill her." ”

Xiao Yu was furious, surrounded by a trace of black and red vitality. But in the end, he just exhaled a breath of turbidity.

Xiao Lie didn't seem to see Xiao Yu's abnormality, and still said to himself, "The court wants her to die, and I didn't have the strength to keep her, so she is an outcast." If you want to take revenge, I won't stop you, after so many years, I Xiao Lie's enemies probably can't be counted, one more than you, not too much, no less. The method of revenge is also very simple, knock me to the ground, no matter what the method, in short, as long as you win, you are the head of the Xiao family. ”

Xiao Yu tried to calm down, and said coldly: "There will be that day." ”

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Lie's face, and he couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or self-deprecation, "I'll wait, but before that, the head of the Xiao family is still me." ”

Xiao Yu's eyebrows raised.

Press your right hand on the handle of the umbrella.

The left hand clenched into a fist under the sleeve.
