As the night deepens, a bright moon hangs high in the night sky, reflecting the secluded valley through the lush woods, echoing the roaring bonfires.

The night breeze is cool, coming slowly, stirring the flames to change into different shapes, brushing the beautiful woman nestled in Liu Xunyi's arms, making her three thousand green silks flutter slowly, adding a touch of tranquility and movement to Zhao Xin in her sleep.

Zhao Xin gradually fell asleep in the conversation and laughter with Liu Xunyi, so there was always a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. On the other hand, Liu Xunyi was motionless like a clay sculpture, for fear of disturbing Zhao Xin's good dreams.

At this moment, as long as he quietly stared at Zhao Xin's face and carefully observed her facial features, he already felt extremely happy.

How he wished that time could be frozen forever at this moment, so that he could hold Zhao Xin until the sea withered and the earth was desolate.

The vast Qinling Mountains are like an isolated paradise, and there seems to be only a couple who love each other between heaven and earth.

At least at this moment, the happiness and satisfaction that filled Liu Xunyi's heart was the strongest feeling in his life, and the attachment to time was also the most longed for so far.

"Turn to Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, what is the long ...... Don't be round?"

Liu Xunyi muttered the verses he had just recited with Zhao Xin, pretending to be calm and happy after all, because of Zhao Xin's sleep, he gradually fell into a trough, and a thick sense of loss and melancholy couldn't help but appear on his face.

"What is the long time to say goodbye to the round ......" Liu Xunyi reached out and stroked Zhao Xin's hair, his fingertips accidentally touched Zhao Xin's white and flawless skin, and an indescribable sourness and sadness surged in his heart again, "Why is God so cruel? Why can all the good things in the world be felt when they are separated...... Don't be round, don't be round...... Is this just creation to make people?"

In this way, Liu Xunyi, who had tears in his eyes, looked at the sleeping Zhao Xin stupidly, unconsciously forgetting the passage of time.

Even the wind, birds, flowers, and grass seemed to fall asleep in the heavens and the earth, and the mountains and forests became more and more quiet until the crows were silent.

"Come out!"

Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in Liu Xunyi's eyes, and the trance between his eyebrows disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by a touch of caution.

"Your Excellency has listened and watched, and now it is my turn to see the true face of Lushan. Liu Xunyi looked at the dark and secluded valley intently, and said with a smile, "Since you rescued me, you are Liu's friend." If they're friends, why hide their heads?"

"I didn't want to disturb the affection of the two, but Liu Xunyi looked at the six roads and listened to the eight directions, so that there was nowhere to hide. Shame! Shame!"

With a slightly embarrassed laugh, a vague figure flashed through the darkness. Immediately afterwards, this person broke through the air like a ghost, and a beautiful dragonfly jumped over the bonfire with a beautiful trick, and flew lightly in front of Liu Xunyi.

The black scarf covers his face, and he is dressed in a night suit, which is really difficult to distinguish hidden in the dark.

However, what interested Liu Xunyi the most was that this person was carrying a strangely shaped iron bow behind him, which seemed to have been seen somewhere.

"If you show up, why hide it?"

Under Liu Xunyi's temptation, the visitor hesitated for a moment, and then slowly tore off the black scarf on his face, revealing a white and handsome face.

"Is that you?"

Liu Xunyi recognized his identity at a glance, this person was the closed disciple of Tang Xuan, the protector of Longxiang Mountain, Li Haitang.

Although Liu Xunyi and Li Haitang have several relationships, the two have no friendship, so in the face of Li Haitang's sudden appearance, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but feel very surprised.

"What's the matter, I'm disappointed to you?" Li Haitang teased, "I wonder who you want to save yourself?"

"I ......"

Liu Xunyi was just about to speak, but Zhao Xin, who was nestled in his arms, suddenly frowned slightly, and let out a soft moan from his mouth, as if he was disturbed by the conversation between the two, and the frightened Liu Xunyi hurriedly closed his mouth, and at the same time waved at Li Haitang again and again, signaling him to retreat to the bonfire and wait.

Liu Xunyi carefully put the sleeping Zhao Xin down on the bluestone, and took off his robe to cover her gently, and then meticulously tucked the corners of her clothes, and squatted aside for a while, waiting for Zhao Xin's eyebrows to stretch and her breath was even, then she was relieved and walked towards Li Haitang on tiptoe.

"I really can't see that Liu Xunyi, who kills people without blinking, has such a gentle side. Li Haitang sat on the ground, stretched out his hands in front of the bonfire to keep warm, and when he saw Liu Xunyi coming, he couldn't help but joke, "Since you care about her so much, why don't you take this opportunity to take her away and fly away......"

"Poof!"

However, before Li Haitang's words fell, Liu Xunyi suddenly pulled out his sword from the sheath, and pressed the sword against Li Haitang's neck with lightning speed, and said coldly: "The man in black last night, is it related to Longxiang Mountain?"

"You treat your life-saving benefactor like this?" Li Haitang never expected that Liu Xunyi would turn his face without warning, so he was immediately stunned, looked at Liu Xunyi with a sinking face, and said aggrievedly, "If it was done by Long Xiangshan, why did I shoot my own people with cold arrows? Moreover, Long Xiangshan and the Mongols have no grievances, why do they make enemies for themselves for no reason?"

"God knows what Yun Chasing Moon is having!" Liu Xunyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Li Haitang with an unkind gaze, "You'd better be honest, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword!"

"No wonder it is rumored that Liu Xunyi is a selfish and cold-blooded hypocrite who will take revenge, and it seems that today...... Sure enough. Li Haitang swallowed a mouthful of foam with difficulty, forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said indignantly, "In the past, Luo Tianjin cultivated you, but you killed Luo Tianjin." Now, I have taken the risk to save you with good intentions, but you are indiscriminately trying to kill me, which is really not moral......"

"Less nonsense!" Liu Xunyi's wrist fell, and the sword blade pressed a few points towards Li Haitang's neck again, "If the bloody case in Yunya Town has nothing to do with Longxiang Mountain, why did you suddenly appear?"

"I ...... I'm here with you. I don't know if it was out of fear or shame, Li Haitang's voice sounded a little trembling, "Since Lin'an, I have followed you all the way." ”

"What?"

"You have a good recall, I saved you once in the West Lake Langyuan in Lin'an. Li Haitang rolled his eyes and reminded, "That time you were blocked in the restaurant, and I shot those who wanted to shoot at you......"

"What?" Liu Xunyi recalled for a moment, and suddenly realized that he was surprised, "You were the one who released the arrow that day?"

"Of course!" Li Haitang nodded hurriedly, "Could it be that you think it's your clever friend?"

"Clever?" Liu Xunyi said suspiciously, "What are you talking about...... Qin Wei?"

"It should be!" Li Haitang pouted, "He threw a handful of copper coins on the street, causing passers-by to rob one after another, deliberately creating a chaotic scene, and I don't know what the intention is......"

"I see. Liu Xunyi thought for a moment and muttered, "I always thought that the person who released the cold arrow to save me that day was Qin Wei, but it turned out to be you." And what Qin Wei said about 'a little trick' is to throw money to create chaos, deliberately creating an illusion that he has brought 2,000 reinforcements......"

"Now you believe me?" Li Haitang timidly pushed the Wuji Sword pressed on his neck with his fingers, and said with a dry smile, "The sword has no eyes, can you take it away first?" With your martial arts, it is easy to kill me......

After pondering for a moment, Liu Xunyi slowly withdrew the Wuji Sword and hesitated: "The arrow you use is innovative, I already know it." But the two times you saved me and reported to me were with the same arrows, not the arrows you usually use. ”

"It is worthy of Liu Xunyi, and he is really observant. Li Haitang smiled, "Fortunately, I'm not stupid, I changed the arrow because I was afraid that you would find out my identity too early, so I ......."

"That's it!" Liu Xunyi had no interest in Li Haitang's arrows, and waved his hand impatiently to interrupt, "Why are you following me? Why are you secretly protecting me? Since you are afraid that I will find out your identity, why do you show up obediently tonight?"

"I followed you and protected you because I had to obey the orders of the Holy Lord. Li Haitang was very happy, and answered Liu Xunyi's questions, "As for why I appeared, it is because you are not what you used to be, the team to send your relatives has dispersed, and you have lost the protection of elite soldiers, so the road ahead is bound to be murderous." In this case, you definitely need my protection, and you will definitely not bomb me away, it will be pointless for me to dodge and dodge, so I will be honest with you. What's more, with your martial arts, sooner or later you will find my traces, in case you accidentally treat me as a bad guy with bad intentions and kill the killer directly without giving me a chance to explain, then wouldn't I die a very unjust death?"

"Why did Yun Chasing Moon ask you to protect me?" Liu Xunyi frowned and thought, "I have a lot of confusion and want to ask him for clarification, but I have been struggling to find a suitable opportunity." Since you're here, why don't you tell me?"

"Me?" Li Haitang laughed at himself, "You overestimate me too much, I am a soft-spoken person in Longxiang Mountain, and I only obey orders, how dare I ask questions and ask questions?"

"This ......"

Li Haitang swore an oath, his expression was firm, and he didn't seem to be lying, so Liu Xunyi didn't make it difficult for others.

"That ......" Liu Xunyi changed his words and asked anxiously, "Is Miss Yun okay?"

"Miss Yun?" Li Haitang was stunned, "Are you asking Ping'er?"

"Yes. Liu Xunyi looked at Li Haitang with excited eyes, and his tone was full of expectation and nervousness.

Liu Xunyi's strange behavior made Li Haitang muttered in his heart, and asked rhetorically: "Why do you care about Ping'er, what does she have to do with you?"

"This ......" Liu Xunyi couldn't tell whether Li Haitang was good or evil now, so he didn't dare to confess rashly, and prevaricated, "I just think Miss Yun is a little kind, so I asked casually." ”

"Ping'er is very good, don't worry about you. Li Haitang seems to be still jealous of Liu Xunyi's threat just now, so his demeanor is somewhat submissive, "That Liu ...... Brother Liu, now that you know that I have no ill will towards you, you shouldn't kill me again, right?"

Liu Xunyi stared at Li Haitang who was sitting on pins and needles without squinting, and was silent for a long time, before his expression eased, and two words slowly spit out in his mouth: "Thank you!"

Just this one word, the restless Li Haitang's heartstrings were loosened and suddenly enlightened.

"Since you reported to me last night, you must know about the man in black. Liu Xunyi asked again, "Who are those men in black instructed by?"

"I did recognize an acquaintance who I had seen at the martial arts conference. Li Haitang recalled, "Dong Xiao'er of the Jade Dragon Palace in the Tianshan Mountains. ”

"That woman!" Liu Xunyi immediately remembered the masked woman last night, and couldn't help but wake up, "I said why is her voice a little familiar, it turned out to be Dong Xiao'er from the Jade Dragon Palace...... No, she's now switched to Jinjianwu, which means ...... That group of men in black last night was actually instructed by Jin Fuyu?"

"There is also Xu Guangsheng, who secretly colluded with Jin Fuyu. Li Haitang interjected, "Without Xu Guangsheng's internal and external cooperation, how could Jin Fuyu's people launch a surprise attack at the right time?"

"Not bad! Not bad!" Liu Xunyi was excited, and nodded again and again, "There is a wrongdoer, and there is a debtor, as long as I report the news of Xu Guangsheng's secret collusion with Jin Fuyu to the imperial court......"

"They won't believe it!" Li Haitang interrupted with a bitter face, "Without evidence, no one will believe your revelations, but will think that you are shirking responsibility." ”

"How can there be no evidence, as long as you find out Xu Guangsheng'......"

"Xu Guangsheng is dead!" Li Haitang poured a basin of cold water on Liu Xun again, "Not only is Xu Guangsheng dead, but the three hundred Praetorian Guard battalion led by him was also burned to char by the fire." In other words, everything that happened last night in Yunya Town has now been burned to the ground. ”
