At this time, Zhuge Chen came over from the corner, he looked at the water under his feet, jumped up, put the sword qi under his feet into his big sleeve, and then fell to the ground, just happened to hear this sentence, and was a little flustered. To be honest, it was really rare to be able to make a sword immortal like this, not to mention that he couldn't say anything to those old women, so he could only laugh and say nothing, waiting for the crow to explain.

The crow was also a little embarrassed, and after the needle threading was over, he spoke: "Grandma, don't talk nonsense, Zhuge Chen is just a friend I met by chance, not like you think." ”

The old woman smiled, grabbed the crow's palm and patted it gently, and then said, "What does Grandma think? Just casually mention it, don't be so nervous." Don't say that there is no word, even if there is a word, it is not easy for me, an old fellow, to point out anything. ”

In the face of the darker and darker in front of him, the crow also knew that he should not say anything, and after chatting with the old women for a while, he left with Zhuge Chen.

"I'm sorry. The crow said softly, "Let the old people misunderstand, and I have to make you careless." ”

Zhuge Chen said with a smile: "It's nothing, when I'm away, I never care about other people's eyes and thoughts." It used to be, and it is even more so now. You also know that as a young sword cultivator and extremely talented, it would be too tiring to really take what everyone said to heart. ”

Raven laughed with relief, took the key to open the door, and walked in first, saying, "It's really narcissistic...... Come on in, the house is surrounded by walls, and there is nothing to entertain you. Otherwise, I'll go buy some food and drinks, and make something for you, and I'll have to fill my stomach. ”

Zhuge Chen looked at the house in front of him, which was afraid that a gust of wind would collapse when it blew, and said with some emotion: "As a royal assassin, after so many years, the money you have saved is only enough to buy such a house?

Crow snorted coldly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "You are a sword immortal, and you are also a childe brother, where can you experience the hard work of our people? This house, even at the time, had to be a sinking coin to buy, and it had to be bargained. Not everyone can spend a lot of money, and it is not very distressing to take out the Dongtian Coin from their mustard seeds. ”

For the sake of this house, for three whole years, the crows were running around, carrying out the tasks of the royal family. It's bitter, it's bitter, but when she really sits in this room, she feels like she's in a different world. Indeed, there are too few cultivators like Zhuge Chen, and even fewer can have the idea of returning after the gold is gone. Most of them are hard-working people who are on the go, eating and sleeping in the open.

Zhuge Chen, who knew that he had said the wrong thing, consciously closed his mouth, he was a little afraid that if he was "obsessed", the crow would really fight with him. Taking off the wine jug and placing it on the table, Zhuge Chen squinted his eyes and looked at the vegetable patch outside through the wooden window. There are a few shallots planted there, half-dead, and it should have been a long time since anyone took care of them. He could even imagine that when he was a female assassin, when night fell, the crow could only lean against the window and lay his gaze there, and he could only spend the long night in this way. Her hands were already stained with filthy blood, and if she hadn't met Zhuge Chen, she would have carried the word killing for the rest of her life. It's sad enough to think about it this way. There are thousands of ways for practitioners to make their hearts feel at ease, and to say a beautiful word is to live a transparent life. But assassins can't, whenever they look at those targets who have nothing to do with them lying in a pool of blood, what do they think? Is it salvation or misery, Zhuge Chen doesn't know, and he has no interest in knowing it from the past to now.

Bai Yi used the time magic power of the flying sword through the gap in stealth to recreate the things that happened in this room in the past. It was a toiling assassin who pushed the door and walked in, and in the dark night, ordinary people naturally couldn't see the woman's bloodstained body, but Zhuge Chen could. The woman leaned down and looked at Shallot in a daze, the corners of her mouth moving slightly, as if she was apologizing for her negligence.

He sighed, turned his head, and said, "You just sit here, I'll buy the food and drinks." ”

"Iron rooster, is this a discovery of conscience or what?" the crow teased with a laugh.

Zhuge Chen regretted it at the moment, but he still walked out of the house. Leaving the crow alone, looking outside, as before.

went out, Zhuge Chen had no choice but to deal with the old ladies sitting in the leeward corner of the wall. They had to let Zhuge Chen talk to them, and Bai Yi couldn't refuse, so he could only sit on the small bench where the crows sat before, waiting for the old women to ask questions like prisoners.

"Crow girl, all these days, stay with you?" said the old woman with a smile, but under the smile, there was a hint of interrogation. Could it be that this is to return to his hometown to see his elders? Zhuge Chen was a little vigilant. This scene is the same as when he returned to the tribe with Gina. Even at the wine table, when facing Gina's father, Zhuge Chen was a little cramped, and he didn't have the posture that a high-spirited young sword cultivator should have. In the end, I had to put my hands on the saber to barely stabilize my mood.

This time, Zhuge Chen still wanted to do this, but he just gave up. He tried his best to show his gentle side, and said with a smile: "It is true that we have been staying together, and we were about to separate a few days ago, but I happened to hear that she was also going back to the imperial capital, so I came with me." This is not just the time for the emperor to open a flower banquet, and there is a shortage of inn rooms in the imperial capital. On the one hand, I was shy, and on the other hand, it was really difficult to resist, so I stayed here. ”

The old ladies nodded slightly, and one of them said with some skepticism: "But looking at your dress, you don't look like a person who has no money, you should be a son from a family, how can you be shy Chinese?"

Several other old women glanced at him in unison, if they didn't know the other party's temper, they would have thought that they were deliberately stirring up trouble.

"To tell you the truth, I'm not from Yunmeng, but from Dayan. Just like the crow said, it's just that I traveled far away and happened to meet it. Zhuge Chen stretched out his hand, took the needle and thread from the old woman's hand, and helped them put it on instead of the crow: "Before leaving, I didn't bring enough money, so I was a little nervous along the way." I thought I could spend less money and save it for the future in case I needed it. ”

"That's a good habit. The old woman seemed to be very satisfied, and said with a smile. These people have already entered the last years of their lives, some have no children and no daughters, and some children have left the imperial capital and gone elsewhere. After all, life is too difficult here, so it is better to go elsewhere. It's like holding a grain of broken silver in your hand, and you can buy a pot of wine in the imperial capital, which is not enough to quench your cravings, just to quench your thirst. And outside the imperial capital, even if it is a full meal, there is still money left. Therefore, these old women treat the crows who are always by their side as if they were their own daughters. Therefore, when an outsider like Zhuge Chen came, he naturally had to be interrogated.

Zhuge Chen was not very disgusted by this, and after dealing with a few words a little, he found an excuse and slipped away.

When he had bought the food and drinks, he returned to the alley, and he could take a long detour. Because he was unfamiliar with the criss-crossing roads, he almost got lost, so he jumped up and looked down from the clouds to find the crow's house.

Walking into the house, Zhuge Chen noticed something unusual, and when he looked inside, he happened to see a person sitting opposite the crow. Although he couldn't hear what the two were saying, the crow was sullen.

"I bought the wine and food, is this your friend?" Zhuge Chen put the bag in his hand on the table, stretched out his hand and pointed at the heroic-looking man, and asked. The reason why he behaved was a little rude. It's nothing more than him testing the other party's reaction. If this is the case, Zhuge Chen certainly doesn't mind killing him with a sword aura. In this imperial capital, even if he didn't think about killing, if someone really didn't have long eyes, don't blame him.

Raven raised his head and said, "It's a former boss, why don't you go to the back room for a meeting first?" I'll heat up the food and drink and bring it to you." ”

The reason why she said this was certainly not because she was afraid of what the heroic man would do. On the contrary, it was because he was afraid that Zhuge Chen would pull out his rubber pillar sword and let there be an extra corpse here.

However, Zhuge Chen sat directly next to the heroic man, and said: "It shouldn't be a big deal to sit here for a while, right?

Zhuge Chen looked at the other party and had a keen insight into the hidden excellent killing intent in the other party's eyes. But this alone is not enough to make Zhuge Chen draw his sword.

The heroic man raised his head, looked at the crow and smiled meaningfully and said, "You are just for him, why don't you go back......?" Not to mention whether he is a lover or not, this ability to find death alone is indeed higher than the sky. ”

He turned his head and said to Zhuge Chen: "Boy, do you know who I am?"

Zhuge Chen asked rhetorically: "Then do you know who I am?"

In the room, the two exchanged words, and for a while there was a turbulent posture.

"It seems that in these years, there is no shortage of people who do not know whether they are dead or alive. The heroic man sneered and spoke.

"I think so. Zhuge Chen was-for-tat.

The identity of this heroic man is actually not simple. Not only because he used to be the boss of the crow, but also because he also has a place in the royal family.
