The cool autumn night gave this familiar dungeon a strange cold feeling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shan Jiquan had counted the days trapped in this dark place to the twenty-third day. If it is said that it is "sleepy", it is not entirely the case - he knows that this dungeon is not even guarded at all most of the time, because - the whole dungeon is not locked up for him, others do not know that he is here, and Tuoba Gu is even more afraid that he will not leave - if he really wants to leave, let the three or two guards stop him at all, it is better to simply dismiss them all, so as not to have many clues.

His cell was at the innermost point of the underground level—the farthest from the light. In the past 20 days, except for Tuoba Gu and three or four cronies, he has not seen anyone else. He learned that Tuoba had sent someone to find an excuse to guard his house so that no one would go out—he was not so worried about the others, but he was most worried about Gu Xiaomeng, who knew that he was here, and the thorn in the thorn who never came home. Fortunately, so far, Gu Xiaomeng seems to be calm, and he has never had any conflict with Tuoba Gu, and there is no news-no news is probably the best news.

Suddenly, there was a gentle grinding sound in the silence of the blackness—as if someone had unintentionally helped the wall of the dungeon. The sound was originally very small, but Shan Jiquan sat against the wall, and the sound came along the wall, and even at the innermost end, it could be heard clearly.

His eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was judging who it would be, and the sound of footsteps had already been heard.

The light skill of stabbing was originally taught by his father, and even if he tiptoed, he couldn't hide Shan Jiquan's ears, and he only took a few steps before he caught it. Shan Jiquan's heart shook suddenly, and he got up to look in the direction of the passer.

Even though his night vision was excellent, the darkness that was already deep weakened the appearance of the visitor, but the outline of the two people's bodies could be clearer. The stabbing would not have been mistaken, but the man in front of the stabbing - he saw him with his hair tied and his sword on his back, and he was a little uncertain for a moment.

Jun Li's eyesight had also reached his figure, and he said in a low voice: "Here." And he drew a thorn and stabbed him.

"Daddy!" said Thorn stepped forward quickly, grabbed the cell door, and opened his eyes wide, as if he could read his father's description clearly. "Are you alright? I ...... I've come to see you!"

"Thorn, you ......" Shan Jiquan glanced at Jun Li again between words, and with a pair of eyes, he recognized the person hidden behind his sharp appearance, and said immediately: "You are like this...... It's also too risky. You didn't run into the Master, did you?"

"Dad, don't talk about us. Thorn couldn't help but whimper, "It's all my fault, I haven't come back until now." It's so dark here, Uncle Sect Master has been - has he been keeping you here?"

"Don't worry about Dad, it's just that you ......," Shan Jiquan thought about it, "By the way, is the token still on you?"

"Here in Junligo. Thorn only said that he wanted to return the token, so he turned to Jun Li to speak, but Shan Jiquan raised his hand to stop Jun Li, "That's not what I meant." It's not appropriate for you to take it here, it's better to leave the Qinglong Valley earlier, and don't let the sect leader find it. ”

"Do you still want to avoid the sect master?" Thorn was a little surprised, "Didn't you say that the sect leader promised to let my father come out the day after tomorrow?"

"He's going to release me the day after tomorrow?" Shan Jiquan was even more surprised when he heard the news, "Really?"

"Daddy doesn't know?...... It was when I came home just now, and my mother told me. "All ...... It's been so long, and the day after tomorrow is my grandfather's death day, so the sect leader's uncle will never really ...... So impersonal. ”

Shan Jiquan let out a soft "oh", but his eyebrows still wrinkled insignificantly, and he said after a little silence: "How is your mother?"

"My mother is very concerned about my father, but unfortunately I can't come, so I can only pretend to be sick at home. Thorn Thorn told him about the situation at home, and when he saw that he was silent, he said how he rushed to Huaiyang with Miss Han after saying goodbye to Qinglong Valley, how he rescued Shen Fengming, and how Miss Han's health was not good. Obviously, Tuoba Gu did not inform Shan Jiquan about these things, and before today, he did not know about them.

However, Jun Li always felt that Shan Jiquan's eyebrows were never relaxed, and he was rarely a little absent-minded in his speech, as if a stab in front of him could not make him concentrate. He didn't want to interrupt the joy of seeing his father again after a long absence, so he didn't say a word. He also had other hesitations on his mind - he was going to talk to Shan Jiquan about himself and the stabbing, but this time didn't seem to be the right time, and this dark prison didn't seem to be a good place, plus the effect of his dumb pill had not subsided, so he was afraid that his words would not be very good.

"Thorn, so be it. Shan Jiquan still interrupted her and said, "You better leave Qinglong Valley first today, and don't let others know that you have been here." ”

"Why?" "Anyway, my father will come out the day after tomorrow, and I will stay at home for the past two days, can the sect leader still do anything to me!"

"You also know the temper of the sect leader, if you know that you will meet me quietly, you will inevitably be angry again, it is better to wait until I really come out. Shan Jiquan said, "Listen to my father once." ”

When he heard him say this, he had no choice but to pout, "Then I will report my mother's safety, and I will go back to the city with Brother Jun Li first." ”

Shan Jiquan nodded and looked at Jun Li, "Jun Li, this time you have to ...... again"

"I'll take care of the thorns. Jun Li answered.

His voice was hoarse, but the indiscriminity in his tone made Shan Jiquan's worried heart calm down a little for a while. He nodded again, no more.

------

After the two left, all anger seemed to be lost again, as if it had never been before. Dead silence once again took over the cold and empty underground. In fact, it is difficult to accurately judge the time of day when Shan Jiquan has been here for too long, and can only be roughly inferred by the time when the food is delivered every day. It was very early when it was time to get closer, but there were so many things in my mind that I couldn't sleep.

He meditated in the darkness of the night, sighing and suppressing the ups and downs of his heart. He had been able to stay here because he knew that there was no danger to the stabbing - but if- if she was going to be in that "crisis", he had no reason to sit idly by.

I can only hope that Jun Li really understands the urgency of stabbing away from Qinglong Valley in his words.

The night was dark and deep, and I don't know how long it took for the slumber of the prison to be broken again. This time he didn't get up to greet him—he was used to hearing Tuoba Gu's unrestrained footsteps.

"How did you think about it?" the person who came was indeed Tuoba Gu. He stood still at the fence, looking at him sitting against the wall, and he didn't need a polite opening sentence.

"It's so late and you don't rest. Shan Jiquan did not answer immediately, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his indifferent tone.

The corners of Tuoba Gu's mouth moved slightly, "Shan Xianxian, I have already taken a step back - two things, as long as you promise one of them, I will let you out immediately-you are still going to disappoint me?"

"Two things are just the same purpose, and there is no difference between promising one and two. Shan Jiquan said, "What I mean has already been made clear, with your understanding of me, Sect Master, you should know that there is no need to ask again and again." ”

"So you're going to stay in this dungeon forever and not get out—and you're not going to think about Laughing Dreams and Thorns?"

When Shan Jiquan heard this, he suddenly raised his eyes and stared at him. "How dare you mention Xiaomeng like this, mention stabbing thorns!"

“...... As I have said, those two things are only expediency, and that they are only used against each other, and that the stabbing will not really hurt in the end—why can't you understand my calculations now, when you were not so bold then?"

"I just want you to know that Shan Jiquan is no longer the Zhuo Yan of the past, and the Blue Dragon Sect is no longer the Blue Dragon Sect of the past. Now that the reputation and strength of the Blue Dragon Sect are among the largest sects in this martial arts, there is no need to use this method to make extraneous branches!"

"Shan Jiquan is really not the Zhuo Yan of the past--he is so short-sighted, timid and afraid!" Tuoba Gu was already displeased, "The threat of the Black Bamboo Society has not been completely eliminated, and now the Yunmeng Demon Sect has appeared again-this new sharp rise in the rivers and lakes, how could it have been cut off for a moment? Although my Qinglong Sect has been smooth sailing all these years, but without you and me, last year was turned upside down by just one Maas-could it be that the old man Gu couldn't wake you up a little bit? You think that preservation is enough for now, heh, but the head of this sect has to think further!"

"It's good that you think about those. But one is that I don't like to work with people I don't want to work with, and two is that I will never let my daughter get into trouble, so these two things -- that's it, I don't need to mention them. ”

"You—stubborn!" Tuoba said angrily, "Do you really think that the Blue Dragon Sect can't do without you?"

"I wish it was so—lest you keep pushing it over and over again. Shan Jiquan was expressionless.

Tuoba laughed angrily, "Heh, I kind of know why Suzaku wanted to kill you back then—you were the same back then, and refused to accept his orders?"

Shan Jiquan said coldly, "You want to kill me too?"

Tuoba looked at him steadily, was silent for a long time, and said, "I won't do that, but you better know that it's not that I can't, but that I'm different from Suzaku." I Tuoba Gu has never been shy about saying, I have relied on you all these years, your wisdom and martial arts are rarely matched, and the most people under you are the most useful, if you are willing to respond to this matter, this time it must be you who come forward. Huo Xin and Cheng Fangyu, the two of them will definitely not go against my will, but Huo Xin has always taken the internal affairs of the valley as the priority, and although his martial arts courage is the best choice, he is not smart in dealing with foreign affairs; After thinking about it, the most suitable person can only be 'you' - so if 'you' refuses to respond, I can only find 'another you' to complete the matter. ”

This last sentence made Shan Jiquan's eyes move slightly. "Another me?"

Tuoba sneered. "Don't worry, he won't replace you for long. As long as these days pass, when the dust settles down, I will still let you out. But let me warn you, you can just watch this matter from the sidelines, and if you do anything to obstruct it, don't blame me for making you never see the light of day!"

"Who are you looking for for me?" Shan Jiquan couldn't help but ask, "In the Blue Dragon Sect, there is no one who dares to do this and can do this-if it is someone outside the Green Dragon Sect, how do you know what other plans he has to dare to put the safety of the Green Dragon Sect on the hands of an outsider?"

"You don't have to worry about this, no one can do anything under my tuoba gu's nose. After all, it's your own choice - you have forced me to do this helpless act, and you can't blame me. Tuoba Gu said coldly and walked away.

"Sect Master!" Shan Jiquan wanted to stop him, but Tuoba Gu never looked back. His thousands of words were just like a fish in his throat, and he felt that he had never felt so bitter and helpless as he is today. It seems that in the more than 20 days that he has been imprisoned here, Tuoba Gu has not only not changed his mind, but has become more and more serious.

He looked at the back of Gao Gu and escaped into the depths, for a long time, and even for the first time in more than ten years, he had some doubts - Tuoba Gu was probably really no different from the Vermilion Bird back then, and he abandoned the Suzaku and chose him at that time, maybe it was really just a repetition of the mistakes of the past.

"It seems that he is holding you for some other reason. Suddenly, another voice came from the empty dungeon, and it seemed that people with ears and eyes such as Shan Jiquan had not noticed it beforehand. He came back to his senses from a long contemplation. “...... Jun Li?" he was a little unsure if he had misheard that sentence in a trance. A chill suddenly rose up on his spine, because he didn't know when he would sneak in if it was really Jun Li who had gone and returned—how much had he heard in this conversation between the two?
