In the early spring of Jiangning County, there was a drizzle, and it was warm and cold.

By the time it was just after the end of the day, most of the people had already changed their clothes and gone to bed.

The Juyuan Agarwood Pavilion was also dim before half a cup of tea.

The years are unforgiving, even the old man who has been in this troubled world has been overwhelmed by the clouds and rain, after thirty or forty years of wind and rain, he can't help but feel tired.

After all, he was already an old man who was over the age of sixties.

The wind was gentle, but it blew open the cracks in the window and sneaked in.

"But...... Dust is coming?"

A slightly tired voice of vicissitudes of life sounded in the pavilion.

"Yes. The visitor quickly answered.

Although he hadn't seen him for four years, Jiang Yichen's respect for this old man continued unabated.

Hearing that the old man had not fallen asleep, Jiang Yichen was also secretly relieved.

Jiang Yichen said: "You don't have to get up, Chen'er stood by the bed and said." ”

Although he could only see a vague figure in the dark, the old man felt a rare sense of steadfastness and relief, and said, "Well, people are indeed easy to get tired when they are old. ”

Jiang Yichen said: "Uncle knows that Chen'er is coming?"

The old man chuckled: "I thought about it this way, but I can't be sure, and I didn't expect you to come so early." ”

Jiang Yichen said: "The Netherworld Sect asked me to come to Gusu and Jiangning to investigate the actions of all parties, so Chen'er also took this opportunity to pretend to be public and private. ”

Jiang Yichen didn't say a word about the fact that he was already a netherworld sect, because it was the old uncle's idea to blend into the Netherworld Sect in the first place, and after so many things had happened in the past year and a half, it was impossible for the old man not to know his current identity.

The old man said: "Hehe, what a fake public and private." I want you to find out the news, do you mean Styx?"

Jiang Yichen said: "It's also the meaning of several judges." ”

The old man sighed: "This is Bai Wuchang's masterpiece!"

Jiang Yichen said: "In terms of light skills, in terms of escape ability, Bai Impermanence is indeed above me, and no one in the Netherworld Sect can find out the right thing, but his white clothes are too eye-catching, and after considering it, the Styx Sect Master and the four judges decided to let him go to Pinghai County first." ”

The old man said: "This Ye Lingfeng does have such a strange temper, but it has also become an excellent excuse. ”

"Excuse?" Jiang Yichen heard the old man's tone become a little heavy.

After a moment of silence, the old man said solemnly: "Yes, test your excuse." Presumably you have also noticed that there are many forces near Gusu Jiangning, and those few people have entrusted you with this important task, which is not only to trust you, but also to test you. ”

"No matter how flawless your performance was before, no matter how much you convinced them, this time they have taken off the shackles for you, and let you do it, to see which way your heart is going. ”

"During this period, you must not make the slightest mistake, even the slightest negligence will leave clues and be discovered by them. ”

"If not, your situation in the future will not be optimistic. ”

Seeing that the old man was so concerned about his own safety, Jiang Yichen, who had not felt the care of his relatives for a long time, immediately had a warm current in his heart, and the old man's kindness to him could never be expressed with the word thank you.

The old man said: "The death of the mountain lion can't be hidden for too long, you have to think of countermeasures in advance." ”

Jiang Yichen said apologetically: "Chen'er has his own way to deal with it, but this account will be counted on the head of the Moral Alliance for the time being." ”

The old man said: "You don't have to worry about this, even if the Moral League admits it, it doesn't matter." I'm worried that the Cardinal Sect won't give up easily, although Liang Zimeng is a big boss, but he attaches great importance to personal feelings, the mountain lion has not been able to get a decent position in the Cardinal Sect, but he has been working hard to help him do dirty work, not to mention that the two are cousins. The death of the mountain lion, Liang Zimeng himself can't figure it out, and he will definitely go to Wang Shuo, Wang Shuo's intelligence killer network is one of the best in the entire rivers and lakes. ”

Old Boy paused and continued, "It won't take long for the Cardinal Sect to find it difficult to spare manpower in the Moral Alliance to rescue Second Young Master Murong's family from danger, especially today. ”

Of course, Jiang Yichen understood the meaning of the old man's words, and before separating from Ruolan this morning, Ruolan told all the news he knew.

At that time, he knew that the main forces of the Moral Alliance, including Nangong Yan and Murong Jing, had already moved to Pinghai County to make arrangements.

Long Yanling also led a group of people from Yiyun Villa to guard around Jiangning County in case of accidents.

And it is a coincidence that the mountain lion and others have become the fish that slipped through the net behind this strong line of defense.

He was originally ordered by his cousin Liang Zimeng to go to Luojiabao on the edge of Jiangning County to smuggle salt, and after the goods were delivered, he was ready to lead the brothers to Gusu City to have a good time.

Unexpectedly, he ran into the powerful Li Ranran and a group of people led by Shuangyi on patrol.

The mountain lion knew that he had his own strength and eight of his men were not their opponents, so he hid in the depths of the forest without stopping.

This dodge went directly through the quiet forest and came to Biluo Lake.

Next was the previous coincidental encounter with Ruolan and her entourage, who had malicious intentions to kidnap them, but they were killed by Jiang Yichen, who also happened to come over.

Therefore, as long as the Cardinal Sect can find out roughly how long the mountain lion died, it can be deduced whether it was the Moral Alliance.

However, the Cardinal Sect and the Moral Alliance have vowed not to stand on each other, and one more hatred and one less hatred will not affect the overall situation.

As for whether or not to settle this account on the head of the Moral Alliance, it does not conflict with who will kill the mountain lion and deer.

Once Wang Shuo's hall finds out the real culprit who killed the mountain lion, even if the Cardinal Sect will not make a big deal for him, Liang Zimeng's Gengtang alone will not let the murderer live freely.

Chen'er understands, but today's situation, Chen'er must not ignore it. After a while, Jiang Yichen replied firmly.

The old man sighed and said, "But you are still impulsive...... You can take Xiaolan and leave the mountain lion alive. ”

Jiang Yichen was stunned when he heard this, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and what the old man said was reasonable.

The mountain lion and him both met Ruolan by chance, and the mountain lion wanted to kidnap Ruolan, why couldn't he?

In short, as long as it doesn't hurt the life of the mountain lion, whether it's the Cardinal Sect or Liang Zimeng, he naturally won't deliberately trouble him.

On the contrary, he killed the mountain lion, firstly, he had to hope that the Cardinal Sect had done a poor job and could not verify that it was his hand, and secondly, he had to deal with the doubts that might arise on the Netherworld Sect's side, but he forced himself into a dilemma.

But when he saw Ruolan, his original prudence and reason had gone with the wind.

In addition, when he saw the brutal behavior of the mountain lion, he did not hesitate at all, let alone let the mountain lion live.

The old man saw that Jiang Yichen was dull and silent, so he said, "Chen'er, have you ever regretted it?"

Jiang Yichen said: "Regret?"

The old man said: "Do you regret killing the mountain lion?"

Jiang Yichen thought about it for a while and said, "Don't regret it, give me another chance, and I should kill it!"

The old man said: "Have you ever regretted walking out of Xishan Island?"

Jiang Yichen clenched his fists and said: "I don't regret it, even if I can live in peace for a year or two, but those gangsters will eventually find the island, and Xishan Island will eventually be slaughtered, at that time, I will be helpless because I am powerless, and now, I at least have a chance to avenge Yinniang and those dead friends!"

The old man said: "Do you regret that I was trained as a killer, and after teaching you some skills, I ignored you and let you fall into a desperate situation repeatedly? ”

Jiang Yichen said: "I don't regret it, the old man's good intentions, how can Chen'er not understand? Born in sorrow and died in peace, if the old man had arranged an easy errand for me back then, with the tense situation over the years, I would have died under the open gun and the secret arrow." Killers seem to be the most dangerous, but they are also the easiest to improve their survivability, and in the end, they can live longer. In this way, it will not be worthless to live. ”

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's good that you can understand, this road is the most difficult to walk, but it is possible to go to the end, this road is also very lonely, fate can't be forced, Xiao Lan'er may not forget you in the future, but you must forget her." In the future, if you have a girl you like, you can pursue it, but you must be able to afford it, let it go, don't regret the choice you made, and don't forget your original intention when you left the island. ”

"The original intention?" Jiang Yichen was stunned, he hadn't forgotten the purpose of going out of the island in the first place, but the old man's abrupt turn still made him not come back to his senses for a while.

The old man said: "In addition to helping me, I also want to find your biological parents." ”

Jiang Yichen suddenly exclaimed: "Uncle has found out the news of Chen'er's father?"
