The twilight clouds are overflowing and cold, and the silver man silently turns the jade plate. This night is not good in this life, where will the bright moon look next year.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is flawless. Li Suifeng wrapped a thick bandage in his left hand and looked up at the jade plate hanging high in the night sky on the roof. Suddenly, he said, "This moon hangs in the sky, and it hangs on its own ground, and everyone in the world says that the moon is beautiful, and that the whole world appreciates the same moon." But what does this moon have to do with the world?

Jiang Ci carried a pot of wine, climbed onto the roof and said, "What, are you in a bad mood?"

"A little. Li Suifeng said: "There are too many things in my head. ”

Jiang Ci poured a glass of wine and asked, "What's the matter, the young man doesn't know the taste of sorrow?"

"I was wondering why these things had come to me. It would be nice if it could be like those people in the market, lively and ordinary. Li Suifeng drank a glass of wine and said, "I am worried about the wine." ”

"Everyone has troubles, but instead of being dull, it's better to have fun in time. Jiang Ci said: "The road you take is the road of chivalry, and it is to go all over the world and benefit the people." Sooner or later, one day, I will also return to my path, the road of the king, and sit in the middle palace and dominate the world. ”

Li Suifeng looked at Jiang Ci and didn't speak.

"You're going to get involved in this mess because you're going to take everything you see on your shoulders. Jiang Ci said: "The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people." Although the start is different, the things they do are not much different from those in the court. Can you not get tired?"

"Where did you come to this realization?" said Li Suifeng.

"On the script. Jiang Ci said: "However, I think what I said is quite right. ”

"I suddenly wanted to go the other way. Li Suifeng said.

Jiang Ci looked at the moon in the night sky and said to Li Suifeng: "You may have the posture of an emperor." ”

Li glanced at Jiang Ci with the wind and drank all the wine in the cup. He said, "What, you are afraid that I will usurp the throne and want to get rid of me?"

"Emperors are selfish. Jiang Ci said: "The right way is the right way, but it is not necessarily humane." Moreover, the right path is the result, not the tongue of the heart, nor the process. ”

"Do you really understand what you said?" asked Li Suifeng.

"I don't understand everything. However, I know that as an emperor, it is impossible not to calculate people's hearts, check and balance the court, and play with power. Jiang Ci said: "However, this does not prevent me from selecting and appointing talents, let alone from controlling the country." ”

"You see, your imperial posture is better. ”

Jiang Ci stretched out his wine glass to Li Suifeng.

"Ding. The cups touched each other, and then the two of them drank it together.

Jiang Ci said: "Li Suifeng, if I go the wrong way one day, you remember to screw me back." ”

"You too. Li Suifeng got up and said, "It's time to go and solve the last thing, if it drags on tonight, I always feel unsatisfactory." ”

"Go ahead, I'll go find two little beauties to drink. Jiang Ci said: "With you, I'm almost suffocating." I haven't released it since I hit Huanmenglou. ”

"......" The corners of Li Suifeng's mouth twitched, and he said, "Haven't you ever been to the Qinglou?"

"But I didn't say I didn't know what to do. ”

Li Suifeng pinched the corners of his forehead helplessly. He had to admit that in some aspects, Jiang Ci's acting skills were much better than him and Su Yao.

——

In the south of the city, in a dilapidated house, the girl held a paper umbrella and was silent.

The clear night sky suddenly became cloudy, and the moonlight suddenly dimmed a little. The rain fell, and the girl did not hold up the paper umbrella, but fell to her knees, letting the muddy water stain her dress.

She put down the paper umbrella in her hand and knocked her head down three times. The rain drenched her hair, and drops of water slid down her cheeks. Is the drop really rain? Perhaps, only the rain knows.

A figure stood outside the door of the house, silently watching all this. He held up the paper umbrella and walked slowly into the house.

Behind every dilapidated mansion is a history of the rise and fall of the family, which often ends in tragedy. Or maybe there's another story behind the tragedy. When one story ends, another one begins. Stories are connected to each other and woven into this world. But no matter how many stories I experienced, I couldn't dilute the pain of this tragedy.

People in the world often say that the joys and sorrows of the world are not the same. He thinks so, but that doesn't mean he can't understand the story behind that tragedy.

He walked up to the girl's side and held up a paper umbrella for her to block the dripping rain. The girl noticed his presence and looked up at his eyes, which were as deep as the night sky. At first, a trace of consternation crossed the girl's face, and then turned into indifference.

"It's already wet from the rain, is there any point in holding an umbrella at this time?"

"I said I was waiting for you. Since I didn't wait, then I had to come to you. He was talking to the girl, but he didn't answer her question. He crouched down so that his gaze was level with the kneeling girl.

"Have you seen it all by the Lianshui Bridge?" the girl asked. Her expression was calm and unwilling. The girl had no intention of getting up, as if she was atoning for her sins, and planned to kneel for a long time.

"Actually, no. He said, "There is more than one story, and I want to start from the beginning, and I want to hear you tell it." ”

The girl looked at him.

"So, it's going to be a long time. Are you going to kneel here like this?"

The girl stood up and walked under the dilapidated roof. He looked at the girl whose cheeks were wet with rain and cement, and smiled, "Like a flower cat." ”

"Now that you already know it......"

He interrupted the maiden and said, "Thirteen years ago, this mansion suffered a plague caused by greed. Only one pair of sisters survived the disaster. ”

The girl's face changed slightly, and she said, "No one is interested in listening to your story." ”

"The sisters were adopted by a couple. But the couple is actually members of the Eternal Night Cult, and the younger sister is also forced to join it and become a member of the cult. My sister never forgot her revenge. The plan for revenge is enormous.

First of all, she found the Buddha beads that people all over the world flocked to, and then spread the news in Siyun Mansion. She wants to use the Buddha beads to get rid of the control of the Eternal Night Cult over her. However, the turmoil caused by this bead was too bloody and eye-catching, and she had to temporarily change her plans and leave Siyun Mansion with those who were also involved in the bead case on the orders of the Eternal Night Sect.

Then, she directed the clues of the Buddha beads to the East China Sea, from Siyun Mansion to Donghai County, and inevitably passed through Poyang County. So, the next part of the plan began from there. Because, the younger sister wants to take revenge on the murderer who created this tragedy here and avenge her parents, which is the first goal in the plan.

The younger sister revealed the whereabouts of her companions to the Eternal Night Cult, causing her companions to be assassinated in Poyang County. Of course, this assassination is not dangerous. The younger sister only gained the trust of the watchers through the assassination, and focused everyone's eyes on the mystery of Poyang County. This mystery is the secret of the Eternal Night Cult, and when the mystery is mentioned, the Eternal Night Cult takes action. A brutal extermination.

The appearance of the coffin bearer saved her sister a lot of trouble. Or, the coffin bearer came to Poyang County because of his sister's plan. Or, the matter of the Jiuli Frontier, and even the Lu family's unjust case three years ago were all caused by my sister's plan. It doesn't matter, as long as the coffin bearer appears in the ring of the Lin family's martial arts competition in Poyang County, and lets the name Lu Ziyou enter the ears of the Fu family, the plan will begin. I think that at least the matter of the Jiuli Frontier was planned by my sister.

At the same time as Lu Ziyou killed someone, his sister took action against the murderer who killed his parents back then. Because most of the murderers had already left Poyang County, my sister only killed the person who was still in Poyang County, disposed of the corpse in a state very similar to Lu Ziyou's murder methods, and disguised the twelve corpses as a killer.

Subsequently, my sister took advantage of the investigation of her companions to destroy the cult altar rooted in the Fu family. This plan was supposed to bring the companions and the sect's altar to the end and bury them together. However, for various reasons, my sister spared the life of her companion. Her choice has created a hole in this near-perfect plan.

The final step of my sister's plan in Poyang County is to undo everything she has done here and continue to play the role of a faithful cultist. Therefore, she needs to reclaim the scroll that the Eternal Night Cult has been pursuing. Therefore, the key figure of the plan, Lu Ziyou, who played Cheng Luo Sanyuan, died, and the picture scroll of the Lin family was also taken away. As for the mad demon's Dao Huanye, he is already delirious, so he doesn't need to die. The only person who knows is the companion who was left behind. ”

He said a lot of things, and then looked at the girl.

"You guessed it all. The girl said, "However, I did not design all this years ago, I am not so smart." When I meet you, I can start planning everything. So from the very beginning, my plan was to use you to escape the surveillance of the Eternal Night Cult. After arriving in Poyang County, I want to use the assassination operation to lead you into action, and then stimulate the operation of the Eternal Night Cult. It's just that when I was wandering on the street, I happened to bump into Luo Sanyuan's murder, and when I found out the real Luo Sanyuan's body, I changed my plan that night. ”

"No, you're smart. The person who can deduce everything at the moment of seeing Luo Sanyuan, no, Lu Zi's murder, and then change his plan on the spot, is probably the only one. ”

The girl asked, "How do you know this?"

He said: "When you first arrived in Poyang County, you didn't know as much about the night market and rattan dance as you did when you first arrived, so I paid attention to it, but I didn't need to tell me if you had only been there before." Later, among the twelve corpses by the Lianshui Bridge, I found that one of the corpses had a misplaced rib by an inch compared to the others, and the knot of the hanging corpse was also tied one less button. I judged that the twelve bodies should be two cases. Later that morning, I saw that you had a slight bruise under your eyes, and you probably didn't rest all night, so I paid a little more attention. So after that, I went to the government to look for files related to the Su family, and I could guess how much it happened back then. Then, the corpses of the government officials spontaneously combusted, but they were only eleven of them, which confirmed my judgment from the side. It just so happened that the single corpse overlapped with some of the details in the case file I had found. ”

"Details?"

He said: "His residence thirteen years ago was near Su's house, but it didn't take long to move there. Soon after the Su family case, he hurriedly moved out. This doesn't mean anything, but if the two have nothing to do with each other, no one believes them. As he spoke, he raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Let's continue the process of my reasoning." After I was captured by the Fu family, you guided Jiang Ci to the cave. However, this cave, I couldn't even deduce the location of the cave before leaving, and how did you do that? So, you've figured it all out. As for the rest of the matter, it is just a logical inference. ”

"Now that you know everything, why are you still coming to me?" the girl asked him.

He pondered for a moment and said, "That single corpse was burned by me, and the remnants of the Fu Family's Eternal Night Sect really didn't see your existence. At the government office, Jiang Ci testified that I had deduced the location of the secret cave from the soil and pollen left over from the corpse. Dao Huanye was seriously injured and fell asleep, probably not remembering what happened to him in the Lin family when he was enchanted. The remnants of the cult hidden in the Lin family have been secretly resolved. The list of cultists hidden in the Fu family has also been found, and the Eternal Night Cult will temporarily disappear in Poyang County. ”

"What do you mean?"

"You will still be a loyal Christian. He said, "Your target for revenge is not only the murderer of that tragedy, right?"

"The Eternal Night Sect has refined my sister into a flesh furnace!"

"Then I'll help you. He said, "You need to use a person to help you get your revenge." ”

"Huh?" the girl froze.

"I need to use someone to help me find out the secret I want from the Eternal Night Cult. "Use each other, at least we can trust each other," he said. ”

"I thought that with your style, I would have to pay for my life. ”

"I have also killed people, if I kill someone, I will pay for my life, there is no one in this river and lake for a long time. He said: "Happiness and revenge are cruel and unreasonable, but this is the rivers and lakes." The lives of the people in the rivers and lakes are worthless. I pride myself on being chivalrous, but I can only control the innocent who don't deserve to die. If you plan everything, you kill Luo Sanyuan, I will definitely kill you with my own hands. But you are just hiding your darkness through the sins of others. I am qualified to listen to your grievances and hatreds, but I am not qualified to care. Justice is a good person in the eyes of everyone, chivalry is not. ”

The maiden did not speak.

"On the rivers and lakes, trust is far more precious than family affection and love. He smiled like the moon in the night sky. "I've been waiting for you for a long time, go back. ”

The rain stopped, and the light of the moonlit night shone again. He put away his paper umbrella and looked up at the night sky with a smile.

"Hmm. The girl nodded.

"Whatever you want to eat tomorrow, I'll cook it myself. He said.

"Squirrel mandarin fish. ”

"Then let Jiang quit to buy ingredients. ”

"Doesn't it matter if you hurt your arm?"

"It's okay. He bared his teeth and said, obviously, the injury was not light.

"Why pretend it's fine?" the clever girl saw through his disguise.

"Die to save face, and live to suffer. He stuck out his tongue and gave up pretending to be high.

"I'll go back and help you bandage. The girl said.

"Your medical skills are not as good as mine. ”

"And you come by yourself?"

"Forget it, you better help me. "He decided not to save face for the time being. Shoulder and arm injuries, really painful.
