The old man was dressed in coarse cloth, and he sat by the lake with a fishing rod in his hand. He had gray hair and a wrinkled face. This old man is not a crane with a childish face, but he is not the old dragon clock.

Zhu Jiannan and his Xin Du Nu were behind him, and the old man looked up at the sky, the clouds were rolling up, the flowers were blooming, and time was passing quickly. That year, he was also the age of Zhu Jiannan, and he killed his brother with his own hands in Xuanmen and took away today's position. On the battlefield, he himself was dressed in armor, and his sword was lit up in the middle of the night.

Time flies, the wild goose is year by year, and the old goose may recognize his face today when he comes?

"Counselor, he is indeed in Jinling. ”

Zhu Jiannan should be, he always stands upright in front of this old man, and does not smile.

"Let me ask you, is it feasible to set up a Hongmen banquet?"

"Hongmen Banquet and Empty City Plan are probably not advisable to deal with Zhongxi Hou, treat him, and it is a little more appropriate to use Chen Cang in the dark. ”

The old man nodded, he was satisfied with the child's mind, but how long could this child stay by his side, he could leave him, he was willing to spend half of his wealth in the city. Many people want wealth, but who can give what they want in exchange for it?

"O man, if you take charge of Lincheng one day, how will you convince your subordinates?"

"Strength. ”

The old man is smiling, only strength can convince people, only strength can convince people. With insurmountable power, with terrifying power, you can have faithful subordinates.

Twenty-nine years ago, someone questioned him, and twenty-nine years later, his city is even more prosperous. He relied on strength, unattainable power.

"Grandpa, when he was young, he met a person, and he smiled and said to his grandfather that only trust can make people loyal. Grandpa laughed at him, do you know what I laughed at him?"

Zhu Jiannan was silent and did not answer, and the old man continued: "He is a vulgar person, and he trusts his subordinates who can be exchanged for loyalty. Trust can get a hundred loyal subordinates, but what power can win is the world. Trust is not feasible for the general public. ”

"I understand. ”

The old man pondered for a while, as if he were recalling the time when he was young, and when he was old, he often remembered the time when he was in his prime. "He was a famous chivalrous man at that time, and I was with him, the royal way, chivalrous, he chose chivalry, and I chose the royal road. ”

Zhu Jiannan frowned, he knew who the old man was talking about. The old man was talking about his own brother. He was indeed a chivalrous man, and in order to carry out his righteousness, he gave up the struggle for the throne. That person trusted him and helped him kill more than ten masters in Xuanmen, and when he saw his second brother kill his eldest brother without family affection, he was desperate and left Jinling with his silver gun and left Lincheng.

"I remember that he adopted a child, called, what is it?" the old man recalled, he remembered, "he named him Nian Cangsheng." ”

"Nian Cangsheng?"

"You saw this man when you were young, the man who brought back his body. Reckless, you lost your life for a duel. ”

The wind blew, and the old man's eyes wept in the wind. There is no going back to that time, and the decisions made cannot be changed. If time really turns back, will his arrows go off the string? Will he really kill his brother, will he choose the royal way or chivalry?

Zhong Xihou received an invitation, which was made of gold, and the words on it were written with the best cinnabar. The one who came to deliver the invitation was a charming woman, the kind of woman who made men think about it with a smile and a smile.

When the woman came to deliver the invitation, it was dawn, and the slumber of Jinling City had not yet woken up. The sky is gray, and with the Jiangnan-style restaurant building, together it looks like a home-splashed ink painting.

Zhong Xihou looked at this woman carefully, this woman was indeed charming, and the gorgeous flowers were always thorny. He is the lord of a city, and he is used to seeing jewelry beauties, but he is still attracted to this woman. In addition to the identity of the city lord who never sleeps, Zhong Xihou is first and foremost a man, a man in the prime of life.

"Your master?"

The woman didn't speak, but smiled and nodded. Her etiquette is neither humble nor arrogant, this flower can be seen and difficult to pick.

"If you don't have a holy oracle, you can't go out of the city that never sleeps, and you can't meet with the lord of Lin City, please!"

Zhong Xihou understood the meaning of sending off guests, this woman did not leave, and was still standing at the door.

"What else?"

"Could it be that the city lord who never sleeps of a generation of heroes treats the messenger like this, not allowing him to enter the door or drinking water?"

Lonely men and widows are in the same room, and there are no more. What's more, Zhong Nanyan has a saying that it is difficult to quit women, and you should not indulge in it.

Zhong Nanyan likes beautiful women, and during his reign his residence was as beautiful as a cloud. Zhong Nanyan died, and Zhong Xihou sent these beauties. At that time, Zhongxi Hou was young, and it was an age when men were full of fantasies and desires for women.

"Then what do you think a lonely man with no wife and no children will say if he is in the same room with a woman as beautiful as a flower?"

"Oh, it turns out that the city lord who never sleeps is also afraid of the rumors. ”

This woman can't be a slut, Zhong Xihou thought. Sluts don't seduce men openly, they behave like virgins. Zhong Xihou didn't want to guess about this woman's past, but Zhong Xihou was quite interested in her future.

"The ignorant man spreads falsehood. The truth is false inside, and it has little to do with loneliness. ”

"I am the sleepless city lord of the West City, how terrifying, it turns out that he is also a lustful but dare not speak. ”

Zhong Xihou became interested in this woman, and there were many people who insulted him, but no one dared to insult him so much in front of him. His movements were fast, and he grabbed the woman: "Maybe talk to Lone again?"

This woman's face looked uncomfortable but she was still smiling, she was laughing, was she laughing at Zhong Xihou or laughing at herself?

"Do you remember fifteen years ago when you drove out twenty-eight dancing girls? ”

Zhongxi Hou let go of his hand, it was indeed his order, and even he had never seen those beautiful women. For Zhong Nanyan, those beautiful women are tools for venting desires, for himself and for his friends. Zhong Xihou will not do this, women and wine will eliminate the ambition of men, he is smarter than Zhong Nanyan, but he is not as old as Zhong Nanyan.

"You're one of the twenty-eight?"

The woman smiled, Zhong Xihou forgot, this woman was only eighteen or nineteen years old, if she had been in the city that never sleeps fifteen years ago, then she would still be a female doll. Suddenly, Zhong Xihou couldn't help frowning, this woman, it wouldn't be a woman who was pregnant with Zhong Xihou's flesh and blood and was secretly born and kept in the city that never sleeps.

"Do you remember that there was a Qin Ji named Qiu Yan?"

Zhong Xihou had no impression that there were many piano and dance singers in the city that never sleeped at that time, and he didn't know which Qiu Yan was recruited by Zhong Nanyan.

"Who?"

"She's my mother. ”

"Your mother, lonely and each person has enough money······" Zhong Xihou was speechless for a while, this plot seems to be no different from the talented and beautiful woman novel that Tianqin's girl reads.

"Leaving the city that never sleeps, their lives are over, they are the slaves that people call the hero Zhong Nanyan to vent, they leave the city that never sleeps, what do others think of them, do you know how I grew up?

Zhong Xihou didn't think about it, he sent these people, he was right. The city that never sleeps is not a widow state, and the beauties of the past are used today. He was indeed wrong, and it was a dead end for these people to leave the city that never sleeps.

"Then, the lord of the city that never sleeps, the slave family has delivered the invitation and also takes his leave. ”

The woman was about to leave, Zhong Xihou stopped her, forcibly hugged her, kissed her plump and sexy lips, and restlessly moved her hands back and forth, her waist and her breasts......

This woman's teeth are as sharp as the edge, if it weren't for Zhong Xihou retreating in time, she was afraid that her lower lip would be bitten off. The woman's face did not change, and she saluted with great blessings, and left slowly.

The woman left, and Zhong Xihou didn't have time to ask her name. The sun is beginning to rise in Jinling, and it won't be long before the sun in the city that never sleeps should also rise. When he returns, he should find out the whereabouts of those dancing girls.

"Master Hou, that woman is unusual. "Yan Hude's injuries healed quickly, and the scars on his body had dissipated, or it was difficult to see that he had been injured at all. That's how he lay on the beams of the house all night, in the same room with Zhong Xihou. Zhong Xihou was a little curious about Yan Hude's vertical and horizontal swordsmanship, if he could fight with the real master in the middle one day, it would be strong.

"Have you looked at her hands carefully?" Zhong Xihou carefully examined the woman's hands, which were not like Qin Ji's hands, and her hands had calluses on them.

"Master Hou, I haven't told you who my injury is······"

"Oh, then you have already guessed who did it?" Zhong Xihou looked at the wolf king with interest, he naturally knew the answer, Xiao Liang finally shook his head in frustration.

Indeed, if the swordsman who reined in his edge let Yan Hude go, how could he be stupid enough to let Xiao Liang find out his identity, that would be even more stupid.

"That girl from Tianqin once asked me why the Hou Ye didn't marry a wife and have children at this age. ”

In the head of a girl like Tianqin, I think that if a man doesn't marry a woman and doesn't marry, many times they have someone in their hearts, just like those in everyone's favorite villain books, love and hate, beauty and heroism.

Zhong Xihou didn't look at Yan Hude either, his hand pressed on the Dancing Goose Sword, did he take his sword to the Jinling Palace? If so, then it was not the Lord of the Sleepless City, but the descendant of Zhong Nanyan.

Zhong Xihou suddenly thought about Yan Hude's question, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said in fear: "It seems that it is indeed not a wise choice to keep you by your side. ”

Yan Hude smiled, he was laughing at Zhongxihou, and he was also laughing at himself, Zhongxihou was naturally not a lord who was absurd and unscrupulous, nor was he a saint who did not eat meat. Since Zhong Xihou is a man, a normal man with strong blood, although he is unmarried, there are naturally a lot of red faces and dark nature, and can you know how many there are, who are them?

There are not many people with this ability, and Yan Hude is one of them.

Yan Hude naturally understood why Zhongxi Hou Fang's fleeting fear was, and asked jokingly: "Then does Hou Ye think that Yan Hude is a wise choice to stay away from Hou Ye?"

"It's because you know so much that I have to keep you around. What did you say to her?"

"If Master Hou said that it was related to Baiyun, Yan Hude naturally wouldn't say it. ”

"White clouds. ”

It was a woman with an average painting, and her face was as beautiful as a woman with makeup without grease powder.

However, there was no expression on her face, no matter when, whether it was love or hate, there was no expression on her face.

Her people are cold, and so is her sword.

Zhong Xihou had seen her sword, her Baiyun sword.

"Xiao Liang, that lingering song, is Bai Yun's adopted son?"

Yan Hude nodded: "This Yingruge has never used a sword, but he does have the white clouds, whether it is through, I don't know." ”

The white cloud swordsmanship is clear and indisputable, and the dancing swordsmanship is domineering and arrogant, and no one knows who can be better than each other.

One by one?

The corners of Zhong Xihou's mouth suddenly turned up slightly, if the Baiyun Sword Technique and the Wu Yan Sword Technique join forces, and the vertical and horizontal sword technique, who will win?

"The sword of the white cloud and the spear of the dog, these two things were indeed terrifying fifteen years ago. Fifteen years ago, how old was he?"

"About ten years old, fifteen years ago, the white clouds and dogs buried the flowers together, and I didn't learn the sword for a few years when I wanted to come here. ”

Zhong Xihou shook his head, Yan Hude didn't use the sword, he could talk about whether the sword was flat or defeated Zhongxi Hou, but in the final analysis, he didn't know who used the sword.

At the age of three, he learned swords, at the age of fifteen, Zhong Nanyan went crazy, and after another three years, he went to the shore of Jinghu Lake, and really fell into Xicheng, and he had no way to retreat.

If you really want to calculate, it is actually only twelve years, but now he has held the sword for thirty years.

"I don't use a sword, but I know one thing, Hou Ye fell in love with that married woman. This married woman has been dead for fifteen years. ”

I heard that there will be another person in the world, or he Zhongxihou was born with the same skin, but he Zhongxihou spent a full fifteen years to find a woman like Bai Yun, and it was a waste of people's money.

Yan Xiao told him that the twins also look different, not to mention strangers?

Zhong Xihou shook his head, Yan Hude didn't understand, and he didn't understand. The white clouds he likes are not the white clouds that accompany the fairy couple of the dogs, what he likes is a kind of phantom created by the years in his memory because of his love.

"Don't think about it, Xiao Liang, you can prepare, when the sun goes down today, come with me to the Jinling Palace, and see what this old prince uses to entertain guests." ”

Zhong Xihou's interest was indeed in a woman, and that woman claimed to be his Zhong Xihou's sister. The corners of her mouth couldn't help curling slightly, on her lips and in her hands, the touch was still there, she was indeed a stunner woman.

Xiao Liang's words were right, Zhong Xihou did not forget that woman, and that woman died.

If the woman were still alive, he would not have been able to stay with her.

Zhong Xihou once asked Zhong Nanyan, what is love?

"The snow in my heart is a lonely grave, and the red stele is not dead. ”

Zhong Nanyan said this to him, and said this to the boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Xiao Liang, it seems that I have to go to the appointment alone tonight. ”

Yan Hudeliang answered the sound and took out the wolf's claws from his arms and flew out of the window. He came to the city with Zhongxi Hou, not for fun. He came to the city in order to regain the glory that belonged to Yan Hude and Liang. It was for this reason that he followed Zhongxi Hou.

The city that never sleeps is a small world, and when you get out of the city that never sleeps, you will enter a big world.

It is impossible to say what temptations and dangers there are in the big world. Just like those Jianghu people who died on the streets of Jinling, just like the vertical and horizontal swordsman who almost took Xiao Liang's life.

The Ghost Lady took care of the sword so well that it looked like a new sword, a sharp sword that had just been hardened. He drew the sword and sighed, he sighed that he had to swing the sword again, how many people he would die miserably if he swung the sword, how many families would be torn apart, he couldn't calculate that.

But for some reason, this time, when the ghost woman handed the sword to herself, she sighed sadly, but she didn't answer, so she went back to the shop and closed the door.

Zhong Xihou didn't know why the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he smiled evilly, and he didn't know when the old fox of Jinling City would wake up and open his eyes.
