In the huge Autumn Mansion, only Qiu Jinfeng and Qiu An, and the subordinates in the Mansion have all been dismissed.

Yu Zhi walked into the Qiu Mansion, but the originally brilliant and lively Qiu family fell into this fate inexplicably.

And Xiao Yuande's purpose is nothing more than to threaten Yu Zhi.

"Grandpa Qiu." Yu Zhi shouted softly.

After calling softly a few times, the autumn wind in his sleep opened his eyes.

Compared with the daytime, the autumn wind at this moment is a little older, and the wrinkled face has no energy, and it is more lifeless than the dead wood in the mountains.

Qiu An waited on the side, and when he saw Yu Zhi sitting on the edge of the bed, he stood from afar and watched.

"Little Yu'er, if they are all out of the city, right?" Qiu Jinfeng asked.

Yu Zhi nodded. "Uncle Qiu and Ruoruo have both left safely. I'm here to pick you up and leave Kyoto with you. ”

Qiu Jinfeng held Yu Zhi's hand, and there was no strength left in his thin palm.

"No, no." Qiu Jinfeng shook his head and said, "I'm old and don't want to leave." The Qiu family has been loyal to Da Chu for generations, and when it comes, I don't want to have a bad reputation. ”

"Grandpa Keqiu..."

Qiu Jinfeng waved his hand and motioned for Yu Zhi to listen to him.

"Little Yu'er, you have grown up, and now you are far more than your father. If your father were still alive, he would be glad to be alive. ”

"When I was a child, I just thought you were naughty, and I never thought that raising your hand today would make the entire Da Chu tremble. Grandpa is glad that you have the power to protect yourself in this troubled time. ”

"With great power comes great responsibility. Since you have such an ability, you shouldn't just guard a corner of Qiang City, after all, Qiang City is not the only one in the world. ”

Yu Zhi nodded heavily, knowing the meaning of the autumn wind in his heart.

In fact, similar words were not only said to Qiu Jinfeng, but also to Ruyun Jin and others.

Qiu Jinfeng propped himself up, half-lying on the bed, looking at Yu Zhi's eyes full of love.

"Xiao Yu'er, if you regard you as a brother, you must take care of Ruoruo in the future."

Yu Zhi clenched Qiu Jinfeng's hand, and he could feel the vitality of this old man who was in his last years.

"Grandpa Qiu, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Ruoruo."

Qiu Jinfeng looked at the young man with the broken arm at the door and said, "Your name is Lei Jun." ”

Lei Jun stepped forward when he heard the sound and saluted respectfully.

Qiu Jinfeng didn't say much, just looked at Lei Jun.

This pair of eyes that have seen countless treacherous clouds looked at Lei Jun, and gave the other party inexplicable pressure.

After a moment, a kind smile appeared on Qiu Jinfeng's face.

"Little fish, let's go. Grandpa will be fine. ”

Yu Zhi was silent for a moment and said, "Grandpa Qiu, are you really not going with me?" ”

Autumn Wind shook his head. "I've lived here all my life, and I'm old, old, and I don't want to go anymore."

Yu Zhi thought for a while.

After a stick of incense, Yu Zhi and Lei Jun left the Autumn Mansion.

Lei Jun said puzzledly: "Really leave Old Lady Qiu in Kyoto? Will Emperor Chu threaten you with Old Lady Qiu again? ”

Lei Jun thought about it and felt that it was not Yu Zhi's character to let it go like this.

Yu Zhi sighed and looked back at the plaque of the Qiu Mansion.

"When I was exploring Grandpa Qiu's body just now, I found that he didn't have much life left."

Lei Jun looked back suddenly. "What do you mean......"

A trace of sadness flashed in Yu Zhi's eyes. "I think Grandpa Autumn also knows that his life is short, so he doesn't want to leave Kyoto. When people are old, they all want to die at home and return to their roots. ”

"Let's go, let's leave Kyoto as soon as possible."

In the middle of the night, two fast horses galloped out of Kyoto.

Ye Qinghuan drove the carriage without stopping.

The farther away from Kyoto, the better.

In this way, the safety of Qiu Ruoruo and others can be guaranteed.

......

The ministers in the Chengming Hall of the palace had dispersed, and only Xiao Yuande sat alone on the dragon chair.

The figure that stopped Yu Zhi stepped into the Chengming Palace, he looked at everything familiar in the hall, and the picture of a long time ago came to his mind.

Xiao Yuande looked at the comer, and countless excitement surged in his eyes.

Before the Ghost Hunting Pavilion and the Hidden Family were born, there were only a few grandmasters in the world.

Legend has it that there was a great master in Kyoto, but no one had ever seen it.

The people of the world once thought that this was a rumor, and it was spread by the royal family to deter the forces of the world.

But Xiao Yuande knows that the Chu Emperors of all dynasties also know that there is such a strong grandmaster in the Great Chu royal family.

Xiang Ji rebelled for more than a year, and he has never seen the strong grandmaster of the royal family appear.

The Great Chu Dynasty has survived to this day under the operation of Xiao Yuande.

Without waiting for Xiao Yuande to speak, the figure spoke: "Da Chu is in danger, and the royal family worshippers in the palace will go to the front line to defend against the rebels. ”

Xiao Yuande said in a deep voice: "The alliance of the three clans ......"

The figure looked up at the south, his expression resolute.

"The purpose of the Hidden Family is to expel the Lingkui, and I have a way to deal with it. All you have to do is to defend the Great Chu and unify the human race. ”

The stone in Xiao Yuande's heart fell halfway.

This mysterious grandmaster powerhouse has never been revealed to the world, even Xiao Yuande has only seen it twice since he ascended the throne.

One was in the midst of a bloody night twenty years ago.

After the dust settled, the figure appeared and said, The next emperor of Dachu is you.

This sentence determines the attribution of the throne of Great Chu.

The figure turned into a streamer of light and rushed into the night sky.

This time, he wants to pacify the war of the human race.

Under the night sky, the lights of Kyoto's thousands of homes are quiet and bustling, while the beacon fire in the south shines even brighter.

In a dark place where the lights could not shine, a black-robed figure pushed open a rotten courtyard door and walked in quickly.

There are many such small courtyards in Kyoto.

It smells of rancidity all the time, and it is so dilapidated that even beggars do not want to endure such a dwelling.

There were already people in the courtyard, one was standing, and the other was thrown to the ground with his eyes closed, apparently unconscious.

"Sir, it's hard work." Xiao Jinghong arched his hand.

Meng Duanzhang took out a dagger and looked at the young man on the ground dressed in eunuch clothes.

"Your Highness, without further ado."

Xiao Jinghong looked at the other party and chuckled, "Sir, don't you want to know why the prince wanted to kill him?" It's a fascinating secret. ”

A trace of curiosity also flashed in Meng Duanzhang's eyes, but he quickly suppressed this curiosity.

"The more you know, the more dangerous your situation becomes."

Xiao Jinghong sighed helplessly and muttered, "Yes, the more you know, the more dangerous it is." ”

Xiao Jinghong took the dagger.

In the moonlight, the dagger shone with a cold glow.

Tear and pull!

The dagger goes into the throat.

Blood stained the young eunuch's robe.

"Sir, this matter is thanks to Yu Zhi. If not, he would have drawn the attention of everyone up and down Kyoto. We didn't catch people that easily. Xiao Jinghong wiped the blood from his hands and watched the people on the ground gradually lose their breath.

After a while, the two took off their black robes, and when they entered the lights of Kyoto again, they were already idle.

......

Yu Zhi and Lei Jun had just left Kyoto and caught up with Ye Qinghuan's carriage.

The trip was finally thrilling.

"Brother Xiaoyu." Qiu Ruoruo poked her head out of the carriage.

Yu Zhi comforted: "I have been to Qiufu. Now that the Autumn Mansion is guarded by the royal family, there should be no previous accidents. Grandpa Qiu is old and reluctant to run. When the situation is calm, we can go back to Kyoto to visit Grandpa Qiu. ”

Qiu Ruoruo nodded when he heard this.

Yu Zhi looked at the injury on Qiu Ruoruo's forehead distressedly.

How could the delicate Qiu Ruoruo ever be injured like this? Even if he killed Bai Li, it would be difficult to solve the hatred in Yu Zhi's heart.

Qiu Ruoruo then said: "Next, what is Brother Xiaoyu going to do?" ”

"The alliance between Xiang Ji and the Hidden Family, the sword is aimed at Kyoto, and it must be guarded against. If the Great Chu Dynasty is defeated. The next target of Xiang Ji is Qiangcheng. ”

Yu Zhi naturally understood, and said: "Not only that, if the civil war of the human race continues, only the Lingkui clan will benefit. ”

Because of the relationship between the scarlet cherry blossoms, the Lingkui clan is quite friendly to Yu Zhi.

But under the absolute opposition between the two races, such friendship did not last long.

Yu Zhi didn't want to watch the world be occupied by doves and become the next Lingkui ancestral land.

"Next..."Yu Zhi's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said, "The Western Desert Prefecture is going to break away from the Great Chu Dynasty and become a force with Qiangcheng as the center. I want to unify the Terrans. ”

In the past, Yu Zhi had not made up his mind until this incident, until he listened to the advice of Qiu Jinfeng.

With great power comes great responsibility.

If you have the ability to protect the world, why don't you stand before all the people and slash all enemies with a sword?

Yu Zhi's words made everyone's eyes turn to him.

Qiu Ruoruo smiled slightly and said, "Brother Xiaoyu, I support you!" ”

Ye Qinghuan doesn't care, what Yu Zhi does, he just needs to stand in front of Yu Zhi and become the sharpest sword.

Lei Jun looked at Yu Zhi and said, "Brother Yu, are you going to revolt?" ”

Yu Zhi smiled sinisterly and threatened Lei Jun: "Don't worry, when the time comes to announce the world, I will definitely write the name of your Broken Sword Gate at the front." ”

Lei Jun shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Brother Yu, I can't be the master of this matter. We have ancestral teachings in the Broken Sword Gate, and we are not allowed to participate in the affairs of the DPRK and China. ”

"Can't live in the Lord? That's okay, don't come to the Taiping Courtyard in the future. Yu Zhi turned his head to Qiu Ruoruo and said, "Ruoruo, you are not young anymore. Brother will find you a good in-law and start a family early. ”

"No way!" Lei Jun roared angrily.

Yu Zhi was startled and rubbed his ears.

"What's not to do? What are you involved in my sister's business? ”

Lei Jun was speechless for a while, and hurriedly said: "Brother Yu, don't worry, I will definitely persuade the master of the sect to rebel with Brother Yu." ”

"Don't, don't, don't force it."

"No, no, no, not at all."

"Isn't there an ancestral training in the Broken Knife Gate?"

"Who said that, it's not like that?"

"Okay, I'll just make it difficult for me to leave a place for you in the Broken Knife Gate."

"Thank you, Brother Yu."

Qiu Ruoruo looked at Lei Jun, laughed in her heart, and scolded with a smile: "What a fool." ”

Lei Jun scratched his head and smiled stupidly.

Ye Qinghuan, who was driving, also smiled, he looked at Tiandao Mountain in the distance, and remembered the carefree past of the three people in the academy.

But it didn't just start when, but the sorrow began to increase, and danger followed.

Two years ago is a time that can never be returned.

......

In the distant night, a figure grasped a python with thick arms in his hand, and his pale fingers were gently forced, and the snake gall stained with thick snake blood appeared in his hand.

Grunt.

The snake's gall enters the stomach, and more viscous bile overflows the corners of the mouth.

"Yu Zhi, you can't go back to Qiangcheng."

"Brothers, ask for a recommendation ticket."
