Looking at the familiar face in front of him, all the doubts in Zhanbai's heart were solved, "It's no wonder, I was still wondering why Your Excellency knew about this place, and it seems to be quite familiar." But I never thought it was you who had a new face. ”

He was indeed surprised why the old man knew about the "Loyalty and Righteousness Hall" before, and he was secretly wary, but when he learned that he was actually Gu Shijian, his heart was a lot more relieved.

Gu Shijian looked at everything he was familiar with here, and sighed: "Yes, I myself was surprised that I would come here again in this way, but this place is exactly the same as before, nothing has changed." ”

It seems that he is not the only one who is nostalgic! After he came out of Xiaoxin Tower, he came here in turn, for him, this was the turning point of his life, if there is anything else in this world that he can't rest assured about, this is one of the few bonds! Therefore, he wants to come back before leaving, which can be regarded as a wish in his heart.

After all, what he did this time was very extensive and dangerous, and after this departure, I don't know if I can come back, even if I can come back, I don't know what year and month it is.

Although Baili Changfeng only entrusted him to go to the Xiangfu to investigate the situation, he was a person who knew how to repay his kindness, and he had already made up his mind in his heart that if Nie Chengfeng was really trapped in the Xiangfu, then no matter what, he would have to find a way to save him. But if he is not in the Prime Minister's Mansion, then the rivers and lakes are so big, how should he go there to repay the great kindness of the past? Even he himself does not know.

A hint of melancholy flashed on Zhanbai's face, "No matter how much there is any change, it's just that time has passed." ”

Gu Shijian is right, everything is business as usual, but unfortunately things have long been different, and now they are not what they used to be. In the past, whenever I came here, my heart was always full of excitement and anticipation, but now, there is always an indescribable sense of loss and sadness in my heart.

The spacious and empty "Zhongyi Hall", the atmosphere suddenly calmed down, and the three of them remained silent very unanimous, compared to the original lively and warm, this place has been silent for too long, so silent that none of them is willing to break the tranquility first.

In this tranquility, they retain their nostalgia for the same, and even more so their attachment to the old man, and I don't know how long this nostalgia will last.

"I've heard about that incident before, no matter what, don't give up the hope in your heart, the hope is there, the faith is there. ”

In the end, it was Gu Shijian who broke the tranquility, although he had long been accustomed to the silent and silent environment, but he couldn't bear to see Zhan Bai and Yu Jiang so depressed, but he couldn't directly tell the two of them the purpose of his trip.

And before leaving, Baili Changfeng told him that he had a hunch that Nie Chengfeng and his younger brother Baili Changsheng must still be alive in this world, looking at his extremely serious expression, although Gu Shijian was skeptical, he still felt that since he had this premonition, then there must be his reason, maybe they were really still alive. Of course, he also hoped that they would live well, but he couldn't tell Zhanbai and Yu Jiang frankly about all this, aside from Baili Changfeng's request for him to keep secrets, he himself didn't want to see the two of them disappointed again, he was afraid that they wouldn't be able to withstand such a blow.

If you tell the two of them that Nie Chengfeng and the others may still be alive, but in the end it is a bamboo basket for nothing, it is estimated that the two of them will probably collapse, although in the minds of the two of them, they have also been unwilling to believe that Nie Chengfeng and the others died young.

Moreover, if this news leaks out, the enemy will definitely be alert, and it is unknown what will happen.

Striking the grass and startling the snake is not his usual style.

"We believe that the Heavenly Princes must still be alive, and they will not be so easily defeated. ”

Zhan Bai and Yu Jiang nodded heavily, although they haven't made any big moves on the surface in the past few years, they secretly don't know how many times they have searched on the rivers and lakes.

Almost every inch of the rivers and lakes can be searched, they have sent people to investigate and secretly visit, but they have not found out any news about the Heavenly Prince, the Immortal Messenger, this is obviously a very abnormal situation, could it be that two big living people have evaporated from the world for no reason like this? I'm afraid no one will believe such a thing, right?

Therefore, after peeling back the layers and analyzing them in detail, they came to a conclusion that everyone was happy about, that is, there was a high probability that the two of them were still alive, although they didn't know where they were and what the situation was, but no news was the best news, wasn't it?

At least, no one has seen their unfortunate deaths, and no one has seen their bones with their own eyes, otherwise, with their status and influence in the rivers and lakes, there would be no one who does not know them.

Gu Shijian stepped forward and patted the two of them on the shoulder, "It's good to believe, there are few hurdles in this world that you can't pass, it depends on whether you have enough confidence and courage." ”

Because of his personality, he was not a particularly comforting person when he was young, so even if he wanted to say something in his heart, he could never say it.

But Gu Shijian believes that Zhanbai and Yu Jiang are both smart people, although their words are pun intended, but with their intelligence, it is impossible not to understand the truth.

In fact, after so many years of dark days, Gu Shijian also understood many truths, he is no longer the young man who misjudged at the beginning, the so-called saying is seven points full, and three points depend on nature. Therefore, his words not only encouraged the two of them, but also left a bit of suspense.

If things really go their way, then it's great, but even if they later find out that the real situation is out of control, then they will have an extra sense of acceptance.

"By the way, you had to come out to breathe because of your loyalty this time, what is the so-called thing?"

Zhan Bai suddenly changed the topic, he didn't want to talk more about this matter, the more he talked, the deeper the danger, for so many years, every time he had his spare time, he couldn't help but think of it, every time at this time, he would always try his best to get busy, only when he became busy, he could temporarily forget the pain in his heart, so as not to be distracted to feel nostalgic.

"It's not a big deal, it's just helping a friend find an old friend. ”

Of course, Gu Shijian knew what he was thinking, but he couldn't bear to break it.

Yu Jiang frowned suddenly, "Who is it?"

He clearly remembered that Tiangongzi said back then that if Gu Shijian could come out on his own, he would definitely be a manufacturable material, and maybe his future achievements would not be lower than his own. Yu Jiang knew that this was a kind of recognition of Gu Shijian by the Heavenly Prince, so he was still quite concerned about Gu Shijian's affairs.

Gu Shijian shook his head, "Don't worry, with my ability, it's not difficult to find someone!"

He didn't tell Zhan Bai and Yu Jiang that the person he was looking for was the person they had in mind, which would only add to their burden.

Zhan Bai also persuaded: "Yu Jiang is right, why don't you tell us the news of that person, maybe we can really help? After all, you haven't walked on the rivers and lakes for many years, and the current rivers and lakes are no longer what they used to be." Although in recent years, our [Nether Inspector History] has always been in peace and quiet, and rarely shows up in the rivers and lakes, but the news is definitely not lagging behind anyone. ”

His thoughts are actually not much different from Yu Jiang's, in fact, a bigger part of the reason is that they want to try their best to make up for the guilt they have felt for Tiangongzi over the years.

Gu Shijian insisted: "Don't worry, if there is really a need, I will definitely seek your help!"

He saw all this in his eyes, if it wasn't for the affirmation that Tiangongzi had affirmed himself, why did the two of them need to be like this? After all, he basically had no friendship with the two of them. But because of this, he couldn't tell them the truth, if they learned all this, no matter whether Nie Chengfeng was in the Xiangfu or not, the [Netherworld Supervision History] and the Xiangfu, and even the entire imperial court would not be able to avoid a friction.

Presumably this is also the reason why Baili Changfeng didn't tell them, right?

"Well, if you have any needs, you can come directly to the two of us, and you will not shirk if you can. ”

Seeing this, Zhan Bai and Yu Jiang no longer insisted, now Gu Shijian is indeed a very principled person, no matter how much persistence there is, it will not help.

"Definitely!"

Gu Shijian solemnly agreed, he could see that whether it was because of Nie Chengfeng or not, these two were very worthy friends.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, they all saw the sincerity in each other's eyes that they hadn't seen for a long time, as if they saw the sincerity and sincerity on everyone's face under the leadership of Tiangongzi.

This feeling has been parting for too long.
