The spacious and luxurious carriage drove out of the Song Mansion.

The carriage was covered with a thick fox fur, and the sandalwood in the incense burner was quiet and elegant.

Song Yan and Gu Wei sat on one side, and at this moment, Song Yan still didn't understand why Gu Wei wanted to come out with him.

Could it be that the child is too thin-skinned and embarrassed to refuse Song Deyuan?

But I haven't seen him before and I'm embarrassed to refuse myself, right?

Song Yan sighed faintly.

Forget it, it's all here, and when you have yourself to protect Gu Wei, it shouldn't be fine, and besides, there is still a male protagonist......

Gu Wei slowly raised his eyes and looked at the absent-minded man opposite, his eyes thoughtful.

Gu Wei could see that Song Yan had something on his mind, Song Yan cared so much about this winter banquet invitation, there must be something important to do, and it was by no means as simple as what he said to Song Deyuan.

He wanted to know what secrets Song Yan was hiding, or what he wanted to do, so coming out with Song Yan was the best opportunity.

The two of them had their own agendas, and the car was very quiet.

But he didn't want the carriage to brake suddenly, Song Yan suddenly threw his center of gravity unsteadily forward, and his head slammed into the frame of the carriage with a muffled sound.

Song Yan's face turned pale, and when he turned his head, he saw Gu Wei sitting there as steady as Mount Tai, with a calm expression.

Song Yan: ......

He sullenly lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, only to see a group of men in black power suits and hoods riding by, and pedestrians avoided them one after another.

How did these people ride horses? What about when the street is your home? It's even more arrogant than his squirrel.

In the blink of an eye, the pedestrian had disappeared, Song Yan frowned and turned around, and instructed the coachman to move on.

What he didn't know was.

The pedestrian rode into a deserted alley, and then into a secluded courtyard, and the tall man at the head pulled down his hood, revealing a cold countenance, with a pair of dark red eyes, bronzed skin, and a hideous scar that spread from his jaw to the neckline, and his whole body was formidable.

If anyone were here, they would be horrified.

This is the number one general under the command of Lonely - the demon general Fu Yan.

The subordinates behind him said respectfully: "General, this is the stronghold of our demon clan, we can live here temporarily. ”

Fu Yan bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "Go and find out all the people in the city." ”

The subordinate said: "Yes! ”

A group of people quickly dispersed, their movements sharp and silent, and in the blink of an eye, except for Fu Yan, there was only one of his henchmen left in the courtyard.

The henchman cautiously spoke: "General, we have searched for ninety-two cities, but we have not found the person you are looking for, who are you looking for?" ”

Fu Yan looked at each other with dark red eyes, his expression was cold, with a strong sense of oppression: "Don't inquire about things you shouldn't know." ”

The henchman suddenly looked stunned and was silent.

Fu Yan slowly spoke: "You just need to know that this is the king's order, and that's fine." ”

………………

The other side.

Song Yan's carriage went out of the city smoothly.

I didn't encounter anything along the way, and near dusk, I finally came to the front of a valley.

The speed of the car also slowed down, and Song Yan looked at the scenery outside the window.

The endless mountains form a ring, and the snow-capped winter is a beautiful place to look at from afar, but it is also a wonderful place to look at up close.

Hehuai Mountain Villa is right in the valley.

The owner of the village, Zhou Wendao, is a monk, more than ten years ago here, his identity is mysterious and the source is unknown, but his cultivation is extraordinary, and it is said that he is also the guest of the immortal envoy.

Some people say that with the strength of the owner of Zhou Zhuang, it is also possible to worship the immortal gate, but Zhou Wendao did not want to be restrained, but built a Hehuai Mountain Villa in this paradise-like place.

Song Yan raised the corners of his mouth, he had seen the plot, Zhou Wendao naturally did not dare to enter the immortal gate, after all, ......

The carriage slowly stopped, and when it reached the entrance of the valley, the coachman said, "Young master, the carriage in front of you can't enter." ”

Song Yan looked at Gu Wei beside him, stretched out his hand to him, and smiled slightly: "Let's go down?" ”

Gu Wei's faint gaze swept over Song Yan, got up directly, bent down and walked down from him, his clothes brushing over Song Yan's boots.

Song Yan looked at Gu Wei's alienated back, paused, and smiled with relief, this attitude is normal, he is relieved again.

Song Yan then also bent down and got out of the car, he looked up at the scenery in front of him, there were waiters waiting on both sides of the valley entrance, and there were many carriages parked next to it, and the guests who came to the banquet came in twos and threes, talking and laughing and walking this way.

The coachman respectfully said to Song Yan: "Young master, I will come to pick you up in three days." ”

Song Yan nodded, and was about to go in with Gu Wei, when suddenly his eyes swept away, and his face sank unusually rarely.

It's really a narrow road.

As soon as Gu Siqi got out of the carriage, he saw Song Yan, the two looked at each other, and after a while, Gu Siqi raised his chin and showed a high-spirited sneer.

Last time, he lost to Song Yan in Lan Yi Pavilion, which made Gu Siqi feel deeply embarrassed, and he couldn't swallow this breath, so he begged his mother when he went back. Qin Qilan couldn't bear to let her son suffer this grievance, and remembered the previous return ceremony, and hated Song Yan for protecting Gu Wei and embarrassing the Gu family, so she sent a letter to her younger brother Qin Zhang.

It's just an invitation to a winter banquet, it's a gesture for Qin Zhang, as long as Qin Zhang says a word, there are other monks who are willing to sell Qin Zhang's face and offer the invitation, so Gu Siqi can appear here today.

Gu Siqi's eyes were gloomy, and he said with a smile: "Brother Song is really in love with the couple, he didn't forget to drag his family here, it seems that he has a very good relationship with his brother." ”

Song Yan had been in this world for so long, and it was the first time he was so tired of this person, he even had a thought, it would be better for someone like Gu Siqi to die in the hands of the demon clan.

Song Yan covered his impatience under his eyes, and the corners of his lips raised: "What, are you jealous?" ”

Gu Siqi smiled angrily: "I have nothing to be jealous of, this kind of goods is ...... you can look at."

Song Yan's voice plummeted, and he said coolly: "Then what kind of goods are you?" I see that you are not even as good as Gu Wei's toes, you don't have any self-knowledge at all, you are so annoying and still make up, like you, you are cannon fodder who can't survive more than three chapters in the script, I advise you to be cautious in your words and deeds, don't come where you shouldn't come, otherwise you don't know how to die. ”

"You, you-" Gu Siqi was angry, raised his hand and pointed at Song Yan speechless, he just said a word, Song Yan replied to him ten words, how could I not see this guy so sharp-toothed before!

"Is this breathless? It's just such a measure, why bother to be embarrassed here, if I were you, I'd go back to my house now......" Song Yan looked at him pityingly: "Maybe you can live a few more days." ”

Gu Siqi's face turned red and white.

Shaking with anger in his fists.

At this moment, the attendant at the entrance of the valley in front of him took the name post and said loudly: "Canglan City Xu family brothers, Xu Shun, Xu Fen." Please—"

Song Yan's ears moved, how could he still be in the mood to rub shoulders with Gu Siqi, took Gu Wei's hand and left, shouting as he walked: "Is it the Xu family brother?" The little brother has admired the name for a long time, but he didn't expect to meet here, it's really fate-"

Gu Siqi was stunned and watched Song Yan walk towards others enthusiastically, not even leaving him a corner of his eye, as if he was some kind of garbage that was not worth wasting a look.

Gu Siqi almost gritted his teeth, what if you just have a few stinky money? It's not just a mortal, what arrogance!

I'm still about to go, what can you do with me!

Song Yan really didn't take Gu Siqi in his eyes, he looked at the two people in front of him seriously.

According to the surface information: the handsome man in the royal blue brocade is the elder brother Xu Shun, and the younger brother Xu Fen is the younger brother Xu Fen in the simple cloth clothes and carrying the long sword.

As a matter of fact......

Song Yan smiled and looked at Xu Fen, who was dressed in plain clothes and looked mediocre.

In fact, Xu Fen is the male protagonist Zong Yao, and Xu Shun is just his guard.

Zong Yao changed his appearance to hide his identity, traveled around the four continents with Xu Shun, and when he came to Suming City, he learned that there was a missing girl in Suming City, and he suspected that this matter was related to the demon clan.

Song Yan smiled slightly: "In the next Song Yan, this is Neizi Gu Wei, I have heard about the deeds of the two of them a long time ago, I admire them very much, and I have admired them for a long time, and now the two of them have come to Suming City, and when the matter here is over, I must give the next opportunity to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

Zong Yao looked at Song Yan thoughtfully, because he had a relationship with Lan Yige before, he knew that Song Yan was the son of the richest man in the local area, and he heard that he was an unsuccessful child, but whether it was in Lan Yige's indifference and calmness, or the standing up for his wife just now, this person was not as bad as rumored...... And what Song Yan said to Gu Siqi just now seemed to mean something.

Does he know something?

Xu Shun looked at Song Yan a little impatiently, just a mortal, but he couldn't let him disturb the young master's tranquility, and said coldly: "Don't bother." ”

Song Yan couldn't see Xu Shun's refusal, and was still enthusiastic: "No trouble, no trouble, it's my honor to know the two, you must give me this opportunity!" ”

Xu Shun was about to continue refusing, but heard Zong Yao say indifferently: "Let's go in first." ”

Xu Shun was stunned when he heard this, since the young master had spoken, he naturally complied, and it was not like a word to continue to pull at the door, so he kept silent.

Song Yan smiled.

When he lowered his head to take the invitation, he found that he was still holding Gu Wei's hand, and he forgot to talk just now...... Song Yan's expression was calmly relaxed, and sure enough, everything was born once and again matured.

This time, I unconsciously held it for so long, and I was not nervous last time, and Gu Wei didn't react at all, so it was not in vain to waste his efforts during this time.

Presumably, it is possible to coexist peacefully and separate.

Song Yan handed the invitation to the attendant at the door, and then quickly followed Zong Yao and them.

Gu Wei was a step behind Song Yan, his cold gaze swept over Song Yan's back, and finally stopped at Xu Fen's body.

Song Yan is here for this person.

From the moment Song Yan stepped forward to talk, this thought appeared in the bottom of his heart, and his feeling has always been very accurate.

And during this period of getting along with Song Yan, it can be seen that Song Yan is indifferent and casual, and he doesn't like to join in the fun, but today he is so unusually enthusiastic about approaching a person, others may not think about it, but in the eyes of Gu Wei, who gets along day and night, it is very different.

Besides, Song Yan listened to Caishang talk about things outside from time to time, but the deeds of the Xu family brothers were never said once, when did Song Yan hear about it? Where did you come from and admire the daimyo for a long time?

Gu Wei's fingers hidden under his sleeves curled slightly, and there seemed to be residual warmth in the place where he was pulled just now, even Song Yan himself didn't notice that his attention just now was completely on another person, and it was not only Gu Siqi who was ignored...... And yourself.

As for the Xu family brothers, they are not as simple as they seem.

Although it seems that Xu Shun is the elder brother, his appearance is extraordinary, and it is more eye-catching at first glance, but the inconspicuous Xu Fen makes Gu Wei care more...... Just now, after Xu Fen spoke, Xu Shun suddenly stopped talking, even if the two of them were well disguised, Gu Wei still keenly felt that Xu Fen was the leader.

What secrets are the two hiding, and what does it have to do with Song Yan's trip?

Gu Wei's eyes darkened.

The entrance to the valley is a cobblestone path, winding paths, winding and winding, clouds and mountains on both sides of the fog, Song Yan casually looked, if this path is not led, I am afraid it is not easy to get lost......

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, a quaint building suddenly opened up in front of them.

Along the way, Song Yan was close to Zong Yao while walking, with a calm attitude and not overly enthusiastic, which made people feel comfortable, after all, he had been in the workplace for many years, and he still had the skills to deal with people.

Zong Yao listened to Song Yan's words, and from time to time he would respond to two sentences, but he became more and more puzzled in his heart.

Song Yan's attitude in the world is really not like a gentleman, it seems that the rumors cannot be believed, there are many people who have secrets in this Ming City......

Before they walked to the Winter Star Tower, it was sunset, and the dusk light sprinkled down, reflecting the halo fragments on the copper bell under the eaves of the building, and the white jade floor tiles on the ground reflected each other, like a dream, as if the building was located in a fairyland.

The guests who came stopped to watch, and they all admired, Zong Yao only glanced at it, then casually withdrew his gaze, and walked into the pavilion.

Song Yan also followed, and said with a smile that seemed unintentional: "Brother Xu doesn't seem to be surprised. ”

Zong Yao, as the male protagonist, comes from the Empty Xuan Realm, and his vision is naturally extraordinary, but it is a real fairyland, so he naturally will not put this fake in his eyes.

Zong Yao said meaningfully: "Didn't Brother Song also come in, is it the same?" ”

Song Yan showed a look of surprise and said, "Me? No, no, no, I want to come in first and pick a good seat, and sit and watch better than they stand? ”

As he spoke, he swept his eyes, found a table near the door and sat down, raised the corners of his lips and waved to Zong Yao and smiled: "Brother Xu, come here, the view here is excellent!" ”

Xu Shun said in his heart that this was a good opportunity to get rid of this scumbag, and he was about to go to a seat far away, but he saw that Zong Yao had already walked over and sat down.

Xu Shun: "......"

Song Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, pretending not to see Xu Shun's cold face and reluctant look, he turned his head to look at the scenery outside the door, and after a long while, Gu Wei was late.

The man walked from the glowing light, raised his eyes, and the beautiful scenery outside was a little dimmed, Song Yan looked fascinated, and said in his heart This is not better than any beautiful scenery.

Zong Yao looked at Song Yan thoughtfully, looking at it this way, the person in front of him didn't seem to have any city government, and all his moods were written on his face, could it be that he was thinking too much?

Gu Wei sat down beside Song Yan, his expressionless eyes lowered.

The monks walked in one after another, Gu Siqi was the last to come in, there was only a corner seat left, and he sat down with a calm face.

When the guests arrived, the maids walked in with the food like flowing water.

And Zhou Wendao, the owner of this room, finally walked out from behind the screen.

Zhou Wendao looks like he is in his fifties, with a long beard, wearing an ancient robe, his bearing is unconventional, and he has a fairy style, he stood above and arched his hand, and laughed loudly: "It is my Zhou's honor to come to Hehuai Villa for a banquet, and I hope you can feel at home and enjoy it for three days." Please—"

The other monks laughed and greeted each other.

Song Yan has already started to put down chopsticks, and the dishes should be eaten while they are hot, and the taste will not be good when they are cold.

Yes, yes, there are two brushes for today's meal, and the dishes are quite unique and delicious, these small dishes in front of him, Song Yan thinks it is worth at least five hundred taels!

I spent 15,000 taels to buy tickets, and today this house is full of guests invited by the young master, and I have done all the wrongs, and eating more is also a return to the capital!

During this time, Song Yan and Gu Wei had been eating their own food and not disturbing each other, so Song Yan didn't care much, just turned his head while eating, only to find that Gu Wei didn't move his chopsticks.

What, are you in a bad mood today? Because of Gu Siqi's business?

Knowing that Gu Siqi was unlucky, Song Yan touched Gu Wei with his elbow, put a chopstick dish into his bowl, and smiled: "It's not worth starving yourself for that kind of person, eat more." ”

Gu Wei lowered his eyes and looked at Song Yan's face.

Because the distance is very close, the peach blossom eyes with rippling waves are all him at the moment, and such a focused and gentle appearance is easy to make people have an illusion, as if you are the person he cares about the most about joy.

But......

It's just an illusion.

Gu Wei wouldn't think about people like Gu Siqi at all, if this was the case, he would have starved to death a hundred times in the Gu family, but at this moment he didn't want to correct this mistake.

Gu Wei lowered his eyes and took a bite of the dish.

Song Yan was finally relieved when he saw that Gu Wei had finally eaten, and he observed the surroundings while eating.

It's almost time for everyone to enjoy.

Zhou Wendao on the main seat clapped his palms, and a group of maids came in with a wine jug, Zhou Wendao stroked his beard and smiled: "Today I specially prepared a fine wine for you, this wine is called dyed rouge, which is brewed from the unique ice spring in the valley, please taste it." ”

The people sitting here cheered up and showed a look of anticipation, everyone had heard before they came, this was a unique wine of Hehuai Villa, and the outside world could not drink it at all.

The maids placed the silver flasks on the tables, then bowed and retreated.

Someone couldn't wait to open the lid and sniff it, and suddenly showed a look of intoxication, and the smell of wine filled the room for a while.

Song Yan slowly poured himself a glass, he rubbed the silver-patterned wine glass in his hand, and turned his head to look at Zong Yao who was sitting on the side.

Xu Shun and Zong Yao didn't move, they didn't seem to be interested in wine, Song Yan hooked the corners of his mouth, the two of them were really so cautious, as described in the book.

But there's nothing wrong with this wine, it's just a good wine.

Song Yan drank all the wine in the cup, mellow and sweet, he drank another glass before he could finish it, and then he remembered Gu Wei, bent his eyes and smiled closely: "Do you want to try it?" ”

Gu Wei's cold gaze swept over the wine glass in Song Yan's hand, and he was speechless.

Alcohol is a demoralizing thing, and it can also paralyze the nerves and make people lose self-control...... Gu Wei has never drunk a drop of alcohol, his life does not allow it, and anything gets out of control.

Song Yan didn't persuade anymore, there was only one pot of wine on a table, and he didn't drink much alone.

It didn't take long for the monks in the house to be a little drunk, the bright moon was hanging high, and the dinner was coming to an end, Zhou Wendao clapped his palms, and the two girls walked in with a wooden tube each.

Zhou Wendao said with a smile: "The guest house of the mountain villa is named after the 24 solar terms, the scenery is different, each courtyard can live two guests, which courtyard you draw to, and which courtyard you will live in in the next two days." ”

Song Yan held his chin to watch others draw lots, he sat near the door, and soon the girl came to him, Song Yan casually pulled a wooden stick, and when he looked at the words on the wooden stick, his expression was slightly condensed, and the wine was scattered.

Frost.

Isn't this the courtyard where the male protagonist Zong Yao lives in the book? According to the plot in the original book, the one who lives with Zong Yao tonight is a monk named Meng Hong.

But now that he has drawn the frost, what about Meng Hong? Song Yan Huoran raised his eyes to look at the people in the room, but there were so many people, he didn't know which one was Meng Hong, or...... There was no Meng Hong at all.

His own arrival changed the plot.

Song Yan clenched the wooden stick in his hand slightly, and turned his head to look at Zong Yao, maybe Zong Yao was not in the frost this time......

Who happened to see Zong Yao turn his head and smile at him: "What a coincidence, it seems that we are going to live in the same courtyard tonight." ”

Song Yan's expression was a little nervous, he quickly adjusted, and showed a look of surprise: "Then you have to talk to Brother Xu at night." ”

Xu Shun said in his heart that this is not good, they still have to explore the villa at night, and they really can't be disturbed, so he said: "Xu Fen and I are tired of traveling and driving, we need to rest early, let's talk tomorrow." ”

Zong Yao smiled and didn't speak, acquiescing to Xu Shun's meaning.

Song Yan was actually just polite, and he didn't really want to talk to Zong Yao at night, and he showed regret when he heard the words: "Okay then." ”

Then he turned his head.

I was absent-minded on the way back.

To each guest to guide the way is a good girl, and these girls, if the guests fancy it, they can be brought to the house for the night, Song Yan saw that there are many guests, already holding the girl up and down his hands, he pursed his lips, and when he came to his courtyard, he said to the girl who led the way: "I don't have to, you go back." ”

Seeing that Song Yan was still with his wife, the girl covered her mouth and chuckled, this came with her family, so she naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous, so she turned around and left.

Song Yan Yu Guang saw that Zong Yao and Xu Shun also rejected the girl who led the way.

They walked into the compound.

The middle of the courtyard is separated by a frost-carved rockery, and there are two rooms on the left and on the right, Song Yan said goodbye to Zong Yao and took Gu Wei into the house.

The room is very warm and luxuriously furnished, and behind the screen is a soft bed.

At night, Song Yan and Gu Wei lay on the bed, but they didn't feel sleepy at all.

His arrival became a variable, taking the place of Meng Hong's role and living in the same courtyard as Zong Yao.

According to the plot in the original book, Zong Yao will visit Hehuai Villa at night tonight, but on the way back was pursued by the guards of the villa, Zong Yao quietly sneaked back into the courtyard, and was hesitating about how to avoid the guards and return to the house, Meng Hong, who lived in the same courtyard, and the girl who led the way was ridiculous all night, and the battle was fierce, and there was a lot of movement, which happened to lead away the pursuers, which allowed Zong Yao to return to the house quietly.

If he can't cover Zong Yao tonight and change the plot, everything behind will be completely out of control, not only may harm Zong Yao, but the information he knows will also become useless, making his future calculations useless.

Therefore, he must not let Zong Yao be discovered by the pursuers tonight.

In the night, Gu Wei glanced sideways at Song Yan, Song Yan had been worried since he drew the wooden stick, could it be dangerous to live here?

Since coming to Hehuai Villa, Song Yan has been abnormal everywhere, what is he hiding?

It's just that Song Yan obviously didn't mean to tell him......

Also, they are not a real couple, and Song Yanzi has no need to tell him.

Gu Wei closed his eyes coldly.

Song Yan also closed his eyes, but he didn't sleep, but kept thinking.

He needed to make a move to attract the pursuers, but he didn't take the guide girl back to the house, Song Yan couldn't do that kind of thing, so there was only Gu Wei by his side.

Although he has no interest in Gu Wei, and Gu Wei doesn't like him at all, in the eyes of others, they are still a legitimate husband and wife, which is suitable for hiding people's eyes.

He didn't really have to do anything to Gu Wei, he just needed to create an illusion that others thought they were doing, and that was enough.

Thinking about these clearly, Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he closed his eyes and listened to the movement outside.

The night here is very quiet, and you can hear any wind and grass in time, but because of the wine, although I forcibly refreshed myself, my head was still a little dizzy, and I was lying there with a burst of sleepiness, and I almost fell asleep several times, and Song Yan pinched himself hard.

If I had known this, I wouldn't have drunk tonight......

Forget it, don't sleep.

Song Yan turned over and sat up directly, there was a round table behind the screen, there was a teapot on the table, the temperature in the room was very high, a little stuffy, and it made people feel unbearable, Song Yan pulled his neckline, he didn't care that the tea was already cold, and he poured it down, and a chill went straight from his throat to his chest, and at this moment, he finally heard a voice outside-

The voice came quickly.

Song Yan's eyes froze, and then he looked drunk.

He staggered towards the side of the bed, knocked over the candlestick next to the bed with a wave of his hand, made a crisp and sharp sound, and then fell directly to Gu Wei as if he was unsteady on his feet!

Gu Wei opened his eyes in the dark, instinctively turned over, grabbed the man's waist with one hand, grabbed his wrist with the other, and pressed it above his head, with a hint of danger in his eyes.

Song Yan just wanted to disguise an intimacy and pretend to be drunk and fall on Gu Wei, who knew that Gu Wei reacted so keenly, he was pressed there and couldn't move, and he didn't have time to think about why things turned out like this.

The door was slammed open—
