Gu Xichao looked at the wooden houses as he walked, in fact, he remembered every detail of these wooden houses very clearly, because these wooden houses were built by him. Every morning he used to follow the road until there was no hut, and then he made his own fire at the end of the hut to cook. Even though he has reached the point where he is not allowed to eat for a hundred years, he still maintains the habit of eating three meals a day without interruption.

It had been a habit for hundreds of years, but he couldn't remember exactly how many years.

In the past, when he was in charge of the Dark Law Division, Ning Ji always followed the first Ning Xiaochen. After walking for many years, he has mastered the size of the pace and the speed of the speed. Although Ning Xiaochen has always said that he is a nasty person, it is only because he is Ning Ji. In fact, when Ning Ji is willing to cooperate with a person, this person will feel extremely comfortable.

For example, the current Gu Xichao feels that people like Ning Ji should be born to be second-seated. Generally speaking, whoever follows a person will be affected, and even if this person deliberately walks behind, it will affect the person in front of him to some extent. Because when the person walking in front of him speaks, he always takes into account the feelings of the person behind him.

But Ning Ji will not let the person walking in front of him have any discomfort, his every step is just right, this distance is not close or estranged, seamless.

"It only took you three days to make me think you've been with me for the rest of your life. ”

Gu Xichao couldn't help but sigh: "I never envied the head of the Dark Law Division before, because I never felt that there was anything special about that position. Compared to my War Division, the mystery of the Dark Law Division is actually not worth mentioning. But now, I really envy Ning Xiaochen. You have been walking behind him for so many years, so he can walk steadily and do whatever he wants. ”

Xie Gu praised him. ”

Ning Ji simply replied with four words, not flattering or humble, but it made people feel that respect was enough, and it would be a little pretentious and disgusting to have one more point.

Gu Xichao said slowly: "I'm not praising you, and I never praise someone casually." I've been in the War Command Division for a long time, so I've seen all kinds of people, but I've never seen you like this. Now that you're here, I feel like at least half of my time has been wasted. ”

Ning Ji replied with a smile: "Then half of the time saved in the future can be used to sleep in." ”

Gu Xichao shook his head: "Sleep? I haven't slept a whole night for hundreds of years." For me, I can't skip food, but I can't sleep. Because it's easier for me to be quiet and think when I'm eating, and I don't get anything out of it when I'm sleeping, except for nightmares. ”

Ning Ji said: "Nightmares are also gains?"

Gu Xichao said: "Of course, I killed a lot of people because of nightmares, and each one of them was the one who threatened me in my dream." Although these people have killed the wrong ones, they may not have killed the right ones. So you say there's no reward for having nightmares?"

Ning Ji paused slightly, it was the first time that he didn't know how to answer when facing someone.

Perhaps, he also deliberately expressed that he didn't know how to answer. Now that someone is the top boss, he needs a certain amount of time to adjust himself and the other party, so that the other party can get used to his own savings.

"Don't worry. ”

Gu Xichao said with a smile: "You won't enter my nightmare, because the terrible things about people like you don't have any effect on me, and the terrible things about you lie in the secrets in your head, but in fact, you don't know anything about me." ”

Ning Ji smiled slightly awkwardly, but still didn't speak.

Gu Xichao asked: "When you were in charge of the Dark Law Division, if Ning Xiaochen sent out his favorite subordinate to do things, but this subordinate died unexpectedly, then what would Ning Xiaochen do?"

Ning Ji replied: "Ning Xiaochen will never send his favorite subordinate to do something that may die, if he really does this, then it can only mean that he no longer likes this subordinate." So you are different from him in this regard, you like to let the people you like go out and practice, so that you can be more mature. And he doesn't really have a person he really likes, and he may not even like himself. ”

Gu Xichao sighed: "So he is suitable to be the head of the Dark Law Division, and I am suitable to be the head of the War Command Division." One of my favorite henchmen died, not long ago. I didn't think it was a great task, but the first thing for him to go was to see the situation in the Abyssal Beast Base Camp, and the second was to find out what the people sent by Tianshu City were. I had expected him to come back soon, get back to me, and go to the cabin where he belonged to him to continue studying runes, and to be honest, he was the most gifted rune I've ever seen in a hundred years. ”

Ning Ji said: "That's a pity. ”

Gu Xichao shook his head: "If he was just the most talented talisman I have seen in a hundred years, and he died when he died, I wouldn't feel pity at all, but now I not only feel a pity but also a little pain here."

He pointed to his heart and said, "Do you know why?"

Ning Ji shook his head: "My subordinates don't know." ”

Gu Xichao said word by word: "Because he is also surnamed Gu." ”

"Let's talk about this young man named Chen Xi, I never thought that such a guy from a wild road could achieve much, even if it was his old man, Chen Yanran, who fought the heroes in Tianshu City with one shot, I always thought it was just reckless. Since it is a reckless, then there will be no great success after all. But now, Chen Qianran's son killed one of the most outstanding descendants of my family, and I feel a little painful in my heart. ”

Gu Xichao said: "So I began to hate the surnamed Chen and his son who I admired a long time ago. ”

Ning Ji naturally knew what Gu Xichao meant by this, but it was actually very simple, that is, to destroy the door.

Ning Ji sorted out his thoughts and said, "Judging from the information I have obtained now, Chen Yanran should be recuperating from his injuries somewhere in an extremely secret place in Yongzhou. The most powerful sect in Yongzhou is the Qiyang Valley Zen Sect, and if nothing else, it is the great monks of the Qiyang Valley who take in Chen Duran. The exercises of Zen Buddhism are very different from those of Da Chu, so the space created by the great practitioners of Zen Buddhism is very secret and difficult to find. ”

Judging from the route Chen Xi is traveling now, he should be looking for his parents. Moreover, he had contact with Yang Zhao, the great monk of Qiyang Valley, who was moving Zen before, so seven or eight out of ten were Yang Zhao who hid Chen Qianran and his wife. So Chen Xi definitely didn't blindly look for it, although Yang Zhao died, he must have told Chen Xi to find a way to find Chen Duran. ”

Gu Xichao nodded: "So your opinion is, let me bear with it any longer?"

Ning Ji said: "Intellectually speaking, it is like this. If you mean to destroy the family surnamed Chen, then it is most appropriate to wait until Chen Xi finds the hiding place of Chen Qianran. ”

Gu Xichao asked again: "How much do you know about the War Command Division now?"

Ning Ji pondered for a while and then replied, "Sancheng." ”

Gu Xichao couldn't help but admire: "It's not easy to understand Sancheng, because this is already the limit of what you can know, and there are seventy percent of the secrets in the War Command Division that not everyone can know, even if you are a second-seater." There were once two people who held these seventy percent secrets, one was the Old Holy Emperor, and the other was me. But now, I am the only one who knows the secret. ”

He glanced at Ning Ji: "So, this is also the reason why Lin Qiping sent you to me." Because he knows very well that it is impossible to get the seventy percent secret by asking questions, and to get it, you need a smart person to get close to me, to get me used to it, to make me trust, and there is no doubt that there seems to be no better person in the world to do this than you. ”

Ning Ji hurriedly lowered his head: "His Majesty the Holy Emperor didn't explain such a thing, and his subordinates didn't dare to touch it." ”

"Hahaha. ”

Gu Xichao couldn't help laughing, but in fact, there was no joy in the laughter: "You look very ugly, so don't lie anymore, because when a person lies, he will look ugly, you are already so ugly, don't you feel uncomfortable if you become ugly again?"

Ning Ji said: "His Majesty the Holy Emperor really didn't explain anything to his subordinates, of course, your guess may be correct. The reason why I don't know, maybe better than I know. ”

"That's right. ”

Gu Xichao said: "What you said is not bad, if he doesn't give you a task, you don't have a specific target, so you won't expose anything." But in your head, it's too easy for you to remember something. ”

He suddenly asked, "What is the number on the sixteenth wooden house on the left side of the road?"

"Seventy-three. ”

Ning Ji's answer barely took a second.

There are at least 400 wooden houses on both sides of the road, and the numbers on each one are not in order, but at random. This randomness is actually a little crazy, because every day before the sun sets, Gu Xichao will scramble the number by himself. Then the students who correspond to the number must try their best to find their new room to live in, and the last three students who find it will be killed.

Because Gu Xichao said that the War Command Division does not need waste. He also said, "I've lived so old that I can remember all the room numbers when I look at them once, so why can't you young people remember them all over again?"

Ning Ji memorized it once, and once a day, he would remember it.

"I heard that you admire that young man named Chen Xi very much?"

Gu Xichao looked at Ning Ji with a strange look in his eyes and asked.

Ning Ji nodded: "Yes, my subordinates do appreciate him very much, and my subordinates felt for a while that he was the most suitable person to succeed me as the second seat of the Dark Law Division." However, my impression of him has changed a bit, and I don't think he is suitable to be the second seat of the Dark Law Division. ”

Gu Xichao asked, "Why?"

Ning Ji said seriously: "Give him twenty years, and he can be the head of the Dark Law Division." ”

Gu Xichao's face changed significantly, and then after pondering for a long time, he made a decision: "Go and choose people, I can't wait for him to find Chen Yanran before I do it." I don't want a person who can be the head of the Dark Law Division in twenty years to live one more day, kill him first, and then kill his father and mother, the order doesn't really matter. ”

Ning Ji snorted: "The subordinates understand, it's just"

"Just what?"

"It's just that the people sent this time, can there be someone surnamed Gu?"

Gu Xichao was silent for a while, and then slowly shook his head: "Don't have it, I'm old, it's enough to listen to this kind of news once, I don't want to listen to it a second time." ”
