The two of them bowed their heads and were silent for a moment, and Zhou Lingyu said: "The original alliance between the two families has become the alliance of the three families, and it involves changes in all aspects, do you have anything to instruct?" ”

Jiang Chen said, "Give Panlong Palace more time to breathe." ”

"Of course, that's what I'm here for. You...... Are you worried about me being anti-customer-oriented? Zhou Lingyu sighed faintly, retracted his palm, and resumed his posture of sitting upright, "Actually, you don't have to." For me, it is enough to know that Panlong Palace will one day stand side by side with me against Futu. ”

The two talked for a while, and before they knew it, the sun was setting in the west, and the moon was on the willows.

The moonlight plated a layer of jade-like luster on the stone table, and the cool wind carried the fragrance of flowers blowing.

After chatting about so many troubles, Jiang Chen was physically and mentally exhausted, and even the peerless beauty who was close at hand had no time to look at it, and when he got up to say goodbye, he heard Zhou Lingyu's last persuasion: "The news of the alliance of the three families, Miss Lin may be caught off guard, you have to persuade her more." Although you have a lot of mundane affairs, you should also take time to read the Buddhist scriptures, and don't always leave Miss Lin alone in the empty room......"

"I see." Jiang Chen waved his hand with a headache, and with a body of trouble, he almost ran away from the pavilion.

Zhou Lingyu watched him drift away in the waves of the sea of flowers.

At the last corner, Jiang Chen paused, looked back and asked, "Are you familiar with Buddhist classics?" ”

"Understand."

"When are we going to talk?"

"It's too dangerous." Zhou Lingyu smiled and shook her head slightly, "This time, I haven't thought about it yet." ”

"Let's only talk about Buddhist scriptures, not anything else...... Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person! ”

Zhou Lingyu just smiled and shook his head.

“…… Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles! ”

“…… I learned a lot from the Peacock King, you really don't think about it? ”

“…… Forget it, one day you change your mind, I'll tell you about it again! ”

When I returned to Jinfuyuan, the lights in the west chamber had gone out.

Although Jiang Chen wanted to go back to his room and sleep until dawn, he looked at the dark and lonely scenery over there and walked over.

It was difficult to recover the water, and there was no turning back, but no matter what the outcome was, he would have to give Lin Xi an explanation after all.

The bright moonlight is cast on the palace wall and pavilion, and is divided into light and dark patches by the bricks and tiles of the eaves, reflecting the shadowy west chamber, showing a bit of poignant and treacherous charm.

Jiang Chen walked across the stone bridge, turned the corridor, and stepped into the trayed pavilion, not wanting to alarm others, but he also did not deliberately hide his appearance. He came here with integrity and didn't have to hide anything from anyone.

The west chamber will not sleep, and a few wisps of breath in the dark seem to be absent. Jiang Chen's gentle footsteps did not make waves.

As he walked past the stage, he casually glanced behind the wooden pillar and saw a pair of eyes in the dark, indifferent and ruthless, not like a living person, but for him, it was just a gatekeeper and a nursing home. He nodded slightly, and continued pacing, sensing a few more similar auraes.

However, when he came to the foot of a plane tree, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look, and felt that the figure next to the tree gave him a completely different feeling from the previous ones!

That back seems familiar?

Jiang Chen was still thinking about the origin of this impression in his mind, and at the same time, he had already sensed a faint sense of dissonance, and his intuition told him that although this person didn't seem to have malicious intent, he shouldn't have appeared here.

As soon as his mind turned, the next moment, his figure appeared near the figure, his breath was slightly open, and he did not spit out, firmly locking the person's qi. As long as the other party makes the slightest move, he can burst out and make it fall under the raging waves of Nebula Sword Qi!

The strange thing was that the man should have noticed his approach, but he still looked careless, and even turned his back to him, until Jiang Chen's hand was about to pat him on the shoulder, he turned his face slightly, and there seemed to be a halo swimming on his face.

At this time, Jiang Chen also smelled a familiar jasmine fragrance, his eyes couldn't help but be dazed, his hand slowed down, and saw that the person in front of him seemed to tear off a layer of camouflage after being flooded by a cloud of light, revealing another familiar appearance.

"Susu?"

The delicate face under the moonlight, the ghostly eyes, and the corners of the mouth with a faint sneering smile, who is it not Yun Su?

Jiang Chen's slapped palm finally fell on Yun Su's shoulder, but the power of the Angry Sea Submarine Jiao that was originally contained had become softer.

"How did you—"

"Shh Yun Su stretched out a finger to his lips, "Let them find out, I'll be in big trouble." ”

Jiang Chen also followed and glanced around, but no one paid attention to the movement here. His heart eased slightly, but remembering the back he had just seen, his brows gradually tightened.

Not only the back, but he also remembered the side face he glanced at, which seemed to look like his own face? ……

She's pretending to be me, what is she doing here alone?

Jiang Chen's heart suddenly palpitated, and he couldn't help but ask his doubts.

"What are you doing here?"

"Wait for the old dog to take a nap." Yun Su met his gaze and replied calmly.

"And then?" Jiang Chen's heart fell into the abyss of panic, barely keeping his voice unchanged.

"Then, of course, go in and spend the night with Miss Lin." Yun Su smiled innocently and seductively.

Listening to her confession, a chill rose up Jiang Chen's back, and his entire scalp was a little numb.

He withdrew his right hand, staggered back two steps, and held his right palm with his left hand, his wrist shaking unconsciously. Looking at Yun Su, his brain surged, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak.

"Seeing that you are so nervous, do you think I am going to kill her?" Yun Su blinked, and a smile spread out at the corner of his mouth, "Brother Chen, you misunderstood, I want to kill her, there is a chance, why take risks at such a time?" ”

Like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw, Jiang Chen finally found the opportunity to catch his breath after a long period of suffocation.

He eagerly stepped forward and grabbed Yun Su's wrist: "Don't lie to me. ”

"I don't lie to you." Yun Su said with a smile.

"Don't make a big mistake......

"How so?" Yun Su's other palm stood up, shook it gently in front of him, and said in a gentle tone, "Brother Chen, I promised you something, will I regret it?" ”

Jiang Chen looked at her for a long time, recognizing that she was not lying, before slowly recovering from the state of blood condensation, and suddenly felt that a large area of her back was already soaked.

He let out a long breath, looking at the docile girl in front of him, but his frown did not loosen: "What do you want to do here?" ”

"Comfort Miss Lin for you! You ignored her for so long, and the resentment in her heart didn't know how deep it was, and you called another Zhou Lingyu! If I were her, if I couldn't wait for you tonight, I'd hang myself with a rope! ”

Jiang Chen rubbed his eyebrows, looking for a clue from the distracting thoughts, and half of his face wrinkled.

He asked, "What does this have to do with you?" ”

"How does it not matter? The lord of the Qingyin Palace can't think about it, will my Panlong Palace be better? Yun Su said slowly, "If you don't return to Zhou Lingyu overnight, and Her Royal Highness the princess becomes angry, who should I find in Panlong Palace to cry out for injustice?" As the master of the Panlong Palace, of course I won't pin my hopes on others, so I have to walk around myself......"

Jiang Chen looked at the pair of flashing bright eyes, and held back for a long time before he said two words: "Ridiculous!" ”

"No matter how ridiculous it is, it's not like I can't do it." Yun Su shook his head, and his smile was a little more self-deprecating, "Since you came by yourself, it will save me a lot of work." She shouldn't be asleep yet, so go ahead. ”

Her left hand lightly touched Jiang Chen's palm, and Jiang Chen realized that he had been holding her wrist for a long time, and he was not small in a hurry.

Looking at the few obvious finger marks on the white and delicate wrist, he was very upset, and wanted to apologize, but saw Yun Su waving his hand: "Don't be stunned, go quickly." ”

Jiang Chen also knew that now was not the time to talk too much. If he stopped here for so long, it was likely to arouse the curiosity of Uncle Tu and the others.

He nodded to Yun Su, turned around and walked out of the shadow of the plane tree, straightened his clothes in the moonlight, coughed lightly, and walked towards Lin Xi's bedroom.

Lin Xi really didn't sleep.

Still in a loose white dressing gown, half-lying at the head of the bed, flipping through the book by candlelight.

She didn't raise her head when she heard the sound of footsteps outside, her eyes still resting on the page where her fingers were pressing.

Jiang Chen walked to the rattan chair next to the bed and sat down, staring at her eyelashes flickering in the candlelight, and did not speak.

After a while, Lin Xi's fingers turned a page, and the sound of "bang" was particularly loud in the silence, but it also quickly subsided.

When the layers of silence were about to cover the room again, Lin Xi sighed faintly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You are finally here, you should have a lot to say to me, right?" ”

It was simply a single sentence, but Jiang Chen heard that she had a hidden sign of emotional collapse.

"A lot of words, I don't know where to start."

"It's better to start with the City Lord of Zhou first." Lin Xi's gaze was still on the book, but his bright eyes were clearly covered with a layer of mist, "'Xiao and drum are desolate and smoky, and every inch is sad for the Chinese year. Biyun dreams of the country, and smiles at the fairy. ’…… She has recovered her original appearance, you and her should be old at first sight, right? ”

Jiang Chen's mood tightened, and he couldn't tell whether it was prostration or numbness, but his expression remained calm: "I have known her for a long time, and it is not a good acquaintance at first sight." I asked her to come this time to discuss the alliance with her......"

Lin Xi waved his hand and slowly put down the book, his eyes under the candlelight were half dark and half bright.

"I already know what she's here for. What I want to talk to you about are other things that are not so important. It may be insignificant to you, but ...... to me"

"Ah Xi, don't say that."

"And what shall I say?" Lin Xi tried her best to maintain a natural expression, but when her eyelashes blinked, a teardrop rolled down Bingyu's cheek, and seeing that it was about to slide to her neck, Jiang Chen almost instinctively stretched out her palm, but she had already raised her hand to wipe it away first. "That time, was it because this tear provoked your pity and aroused your demons? If that's the case, then I'd rather wipe it alone than endure such suffering! ”

"Ah Xi!" Jiang Chen could no longer sit peacefully on the rattan chair, he got up and climbed onto the couch and held Lin Xi's palm.

Although Lin Xi did not resist his behavior, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he leaned his other hand on his forehead and said, "Miss Yun has also been here, right?" You have the sycamore tree and her scent. Did she think you weren't coming back tonight? ”

Jiang Chen's fingers stiffened, and his eyes stared straight at him, "You guessed she would come?" ”

Lin Xi held him tightly on the right, lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and said in a manly voice: "Whether she comes or not, I will be waiting for her at any time." ”
