The night breeze is cool, and the houses under the quiet mountain have long been extinguished, and they are not popular.

Chi Feiyu dragged his long and wide sleeves, like a big white goose, swaying slowly in the dead of night.

Today's debate is undoubtedly lost, according to Chi Zhengyan's thoughts, Chi Feiyu is most likely going to marry a strange woman from the court.

Even if he didn't want to, what could he do?

The children of the big family do not have this choice, and after enjoying the material wealth brought by the family, they will inevitably suffer spiritual losses. Otherwise, the material and spiritual are all satisfied, and others will not be able to live.

You can't be too smooth, otherwise it is easy to attract jealousy.

Chi Feiyu naturally understands this truth, but he is unwilling. His mind was originally relatively open-minded, and he was unwilling to be restrained and manipulated by others, and he already had someone he liked in his heart, so he was even more reluctant to accept this arrangement.

So before, although he knew that what his second brother said was very right, he still had to mess around, in order to do a dying struggle and gamble on luck.

As a result, he was lucky, but his strength was a little worse, and he didn't succeed in messing around. Although he was admired by many uncles, and even intended to gamble, in the end, those people were not real talkers, and it was useless to appreciate them.

The key is to ask Chi Zhengyan to agree, but Chi Zhengyan's attitude has explained everything, he is on the side of the second child.

Chi Feiyu sighed, he really didn't know how to solve this problem.

If it had been in the past, he could have escaped. has no heart and lungs, but is light. But not now, now that the Ye family's army is overpowering, the Chi family is in danger of "breaking the country" at any time, he can't just watch the children of the family being slaughtered, and his brothers and sisters being ravaged, and sit idly by.

He knew war all too well, and since the collapse of that dynasty eight hundred years ago, the world has been in chaos, and hundreds of families have been fighting each other until today.

Wars are frequent, and there is hardly a day when there is no war. Or a raid here, an infestation there.

In the whole world, if you want to live a quiet day, there is basically no such possibility.

Every day there is a war, and naturally every day there are dead people. Sometimes friends who are still drinking and eating together today will have to see him off tomorrow.

And those good-looking women, the day the city is broken is their end.

The world is impermanent, people are like mustard, who can have some freedom?

Chi Feiyu sighed, knowing that it was not possible to escape, for the sake of today, only to find a better way.

He walked forward, and when he returned to the house, he could already see the signs of the rising sun, he stretched, and then fell down on the bed, and was about to fall asleep, but his body suddenly bounced and rolled over to the inside of the bed, and at the same time the quilt was lifted to cover his body.

In the dark night, a tenacious long sword stabbed in, and the beautiful purple quilt cover was instantly chopped to pieces.

Chi Feiyu flicked his fingers, and a force fell on the stone lamp, and the whole house instantly brightened. At the same time, the assassin also revealed his figure, a burly man, but masked.

The two stood opposite each other, with a bed in between.

Chi Feiyu's expression was flat, he gently turned his wrist and asked, "Brother, where are you messing around?"

The assassin probably didn't have the leisure to answer the question, and with a shake of the long sword in his hand, he stabbed directly.

Chi Feiyu shook his head, as if he was sighing silently, and then the arm with the graceful wrist slowly raised, and the five fingers were like hooks, making dragon claws, and easily grabbed the man's long sword.

The man struggled for a moment, but was unsuccessful, and his eyes showed a slight panic.

Chi Feiyu asked again, "Brother, where are you messing around?"

The man still didn't answer, and continued to struggle.

Chi Feiyu shook his head slightly, and then instantly restrained his smile, and with a murderous look in his eyes, that hand instantly crushed the long sword that looked good.

Bang, the long sword shattered, the man's breath was in confusion, his chest seemed to have been hit by a strong force, and he fell straight backwards and flew out, like a kite with a broken string.

Chi Feiyu stepped over the big bed, and in an instant came to the man, and was about to tear off the mask and continue to ask.

But the man struck his broken sword and wiped his neck. It's just that before he died, he probably said, "The eldest prince will not let you go." ”

Chi Feiyu's hand stopped in mid-air, and then slowly retracted, rubbing his thumb and the second knuckle of his index finger against each other, and his brow furrowed rarely.

Immediately after hearing the movement inside, there was a commotion outside, followed by guards and servants.

Chi Feiyu sat on the big bed full of debris, his right arm resting on his thigh, his fingers still maintaining that strange movement, his left palm propped up on his knee, his eyes were lowered, and he couldn't see any expression.

When the servants and guards came in, they saw the scene in the room and immediately fell to their knees.

"If the subordinates are not well protected, the crime deserves death, and the third prince is also asked to punish him. ”

"Take him down and find out who he is. Chi Feiyu waved his hand, reluctant to say anything.

"Yes. ”

The guards took the Assassin down, and the servants cleaned the house briefly, and the maidservants brought new covers to change into, and everything quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

After the people left, Chi Feiyu still sat in the same position as before, but his right hand was no longer the strange movement, but instead of a fist, and the muffled sound of the bone joints could be clearly heard.

Then, Xuan Fan'er hurried over, followed by her younger brother Chi Yue, and a maid.

After Xuan Fan'er saw that her son was fine, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her chest, and asked, "Have you found out who did it?"

Chi Yue shook his head and said, "Not for the time being." ”

Xuan Fan'er snorted coldly: "It's really bold, you dare to assassinate my son, let that group of people check it carefully, I want to see which one is not afraid of death." ”

Chi Yue nodded, his expression blank.

Chi Feiyu stood up and waved his hand and said: "There's nothing to investigate, this matter looks like someone is playing tricks, that assassin's skill is so low, it's impossible to assassinate me, he just rushed to death." ”

Chi Feiyu exhaled, "But as soon as I come back, someone wants to mess with me, so I really have to think about it." ”

Chi Yue saw the broken sword beside Chi Feiyu's bed, picked it up and looked at it for a while, and then said, "This sword seems to belong to the eldest brother's." ”

Chi Feiyu turned around and asked, "How can you see it?"

Chi Yue pointed to the hilt of the long sword and said, "There are words here, the sword under the eldest brother's hand, the end of the hilt will be engraved with the word 'Tong'." Could it be that the eldest brother did it?"

Xuan Fan'er shook her head, "Probably not?"

"Why?"

"This evidence is too obvious, Chi Tong will not be so stupid, sending someone to assassinate and use his own sword, this is mostly a false accusation. Xuan Fan'er frowned, her eyes looking at Chi Feiyu.

Chi Feiyu nodded, "There is this possibility, I had a big quarrel with my second brother in the council hall tonight, and I stole a little limelight from him, he has this motive." ”

"So you're suspicious of Chi Hui?" asked Xuan Fan'er.

"It's possible, but ...... Come to think of it, there are actually problems. Chi Feiyu walked up to the maid, brushed her hair with his hand, lifted her chin with his fingers, and said to himself: "The second brother is thoughtful, and if he wants to frame the blame, he will definitely not use this method." ”

"Who could that be if it's not Chi Hui?" asked Xuan Fan'er.

"Chi Tong. Chi Feiyu said with a smile.

"Didn't you say that the evidence was too simple, wasn't he?" asked Xuan Fan'er.

"The simpler it is, the more likely it is. Maybe he deliberately brought himself in just to play this game?" Chi Feiyu stretched out two hands and pinched the girl's face, "We can easily get rid of his suspicion with a little inference, plus he knows that I have a holiday with Chi Hui, as long as we think about it slightly, we know that the person behind it will not be him, but Chi Hui." Wouldn't that be his goal?"

"So, what do you mean Chi Tong?" Xuan Fan'er frowned and asked, she didn't expect Chi Tong to look so honest in her usual days, but her mind was so twisted and turned, she really couldn't see it.

"No, no, no. Chi Feiyu turned his back to his mother, shook his finger in denial, and continued to "bully" the maid with his other hand.

"Isn't it him? Didn't you just say it was him?" Xuan Fan'er couldn't help but be a little annoyed when she found that her son's habit of going around the bend had not changed.

"As I said before, my second brother is thoughtful, what if he can think of this step? Wouldn't that let him succeed?" Chi Feiyu walked around behind the maid and poked his fingers on her back.

The maid endured it all the time, motionless.

"Is that Chi Hui again?" asked Xuan Fan'er with a frown.

"I didn't say it was him, maybe the people behind it expected us to think this way from the beginning? Anyway, a sword alone can't push anyone to mess with it. Chi Feiyu saw that his mother's brows were wrinkled into two earthworms, and said with a smile: "Mother, are you angry?"

Xuan Fan'er waved her sleeves, her face unhappy, "You always talk around and around, is there anything you can't tell me?"

Chi Feiyu shook his head and said: "It's not that I can't tell you, it's just that since this matter was played by the two elder brothers, let me play with them, and my mother should not interfere." ”

Xuan Fan'er asked unhappily, "Do you know who is doing the ghost?"

Chi Feiyu knew that if he didn't say it again, his mother would continue to ask questions, so he had to nod and say, "I probably know, but I need to confirm it tomorrow to be sure." ”

Xuan Fan'er was still a little curious and asked, "Who is it?"

"You know I won't say it, and you ask?" Chi Feiyu laughed.

"You...... You've been like this since you were a kid. Xuan Fan'er pretended to be angry, but she was helpless, "There's really no way to take you." ”

Chi Feiyu smiled, then pinched the girl's face into two buns, and said to Xuan Fan'er with a smile: "Mother, do you think Sister Lin is cute?"

Xuan Fan'er glared at her son who "has no rules", but she was helpless about it, and said, "Hey, you haven't seen each other for a long time, let's talk." Yue'er, let's go. ”

"Hmm. The young man nodded, followed his mother, and laid the broken sword on the table.

It's just that Chi Feiyu was expecting to look at his brother to make sure what was going on, but the boy didn't seem to mean anything at all.

I have to say that the friendship maintained by a gift is not very long-term after all.

Chi Feiyu was helpless about this, so he had to sigh and shake his head.

But he didn't want to be at this time, the maid changed her previous duty and hit him with a punch.

"Good you stinky loach, you dare to bully me!"
