There are friends from afar, and they are happy. It is always a blessing and joy to have a close friend, not to mention a friend who can live and die together and stick a knife in the ribs, which should be even more fortunate. Friendship, in this deceitful and life-and-death rivers and lakes, is even more precious.

Shangguan Yunjie kept looking out the window, the smile on the corner of his mouth was always there, and he kept looking at the two people who suddenly appeared in the dead of night, watching them walk to the door of the inn, and watching them enter the inn until they pushed open their own door.

The man who pushed the door open stood at the door, looking at Shangguan Yunjie who was standing stupidly in the room, and he was also smiling, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the smile was so awkward on his face, but it was precious, because he was a person who never smiled much. A black cloak, tightly wrapped around his body, and a slight trace of exhaustion on his pale face, it seemed that he had traveled a long way, and he was in a hurry. Behind her stood a girl with a curious face, looking at Shangguan Yunjie standing in the center of the room with wide eyes.

These two people are Wuxin and Lin Xuan, who rushed to Yunzhou City overnight.

"You're here. Shangguan Yunjie looked at Wuxin and said with a smile, but there was a trace of guilt hidden in his smile. He knew that Wuxin must have traveled a long way, perhaps because he was afraid that it would be too late, and he didn't know that there was any unknown danger waiting for them tomorrow after tonight passed, so he felt guilty.

"I can't help but come. Wuxin nodded and said lightly, but his tone was firm. Friend in trouble, he had to come, even in the face of all dangers, even death.

I didn't know that Shangguan Yunjie felt guilty in his heart, because he would appear every time he encountered danger, but he didn't explain or comfort anything, because talking too much could only make Shangguan Yunjie feel more uncomfortable, and all he could do was stand firmly by his side. He believed that if one day he encountered the same difficulties, Shangguan Yunjie would definitely be the first to stand up, this was the meaning of their affection, but they both knew it.

Shangguan Yunjie nodded heavily, didn't say anything else, and motioned for the two of them to come in quickly and rest, there was no need for any politeness like thanks between them.

"What about her?" Wuxin looked into the room, glanced at Shangguan Yunjie suspiciously, and said.

Shangguan Yunjie smiled, glanced at the strange girl sitting next to Wuxin, and said slowly: "Senior Ji has come to Yunzhou City, she went to meet her, and she went out very early. Although he didn't say his name, Shangguan Yunjie knew who he was talking about.

Wuxin nodded, stopped talking, and looked out the window casually, and couldn't help frowning, and suddenly there was a hint of surprise on his face. Because at the moment when he turned his head, he seemed to see a figure flash away in the alley, a very familiar figure.

Shangguan Yunjie didn't notice the subtle changes on Wuxin's face at this moment, because he kept staring at Lin Xuan on the side up and down, and kept showing an unpredictable smile. Finally, he couldn't help it, looked at Wuxin and asked, "Who is this girl?"

Unintentionally hearing Shangguan Yunjie's words, he came back to his senses, glanced at Lin Xuan, and said lightly: "Oh, a friend." ”

Wuxin said very simply and casually, but the expression on Shangguan Yunjie's face was not casual at all, but showed a trace of doubt. Who has nothing to do with a friend to walk around, and it seems to be inseparable, not to mention that this friend is still such a cute and beautiful girl.

"My name is Lin Xuan, hello. Before Shangguan Yunjie could continue to ask, Lin Xuan opened his mouth at this time, with a smile on his face, and he looked good when he smiled. Although she had just experienced a long journey, she seemed a little windmill fluttering, but it was still difficult to hide her natural beauty.

Shangguan Yunjie just nodded, and was about to ask something, when he heard a voice outside the door.

"I said why I left in a hurry, and I didn't even say hello, it turned out that there was a beautiful woman waiting in the distance for a long time. With the words, the door was pushed open again, but this time the person who pushed the door was not smiling, but with a trace of anger between his eyebrows, especially after seeing a cute and beautiful girl next to Wuxin, his face was even more ugly. The person who came was Ruyi who left the inn very early to meet the master.

Hearing this voice, Wuxin's brows furrowed, his heart tightened, and the hand on the table trembled. Is it her? It's been a long time since we last parted, and it seems like a long, long time has passed for me.

Seeing that Wuxin didn't look back and didn't speak, Ruyi looked even more angry, and didn't look at Lin Xuan, who was staring at her with two big eyes at the moment, walked in front of Wuxin, and looked at him intently, she needed an explanation, an explanation that could make her heart less uncomfortable, although she also knew that Wuxin might not explain at all.

Shangguan Yunjie on the side turned sideways, a little farther away from the center of the "war", and twisted his head out of the window, as if he didn't see anything, and he didn't care about himself at all, but he always felt that a big smell of vinegar was drilling into his nose.

Before he could talk to him, Lin Xuan on the side suddenly jumped up, ran to Ruyi's side, opened two big eyes, and shouted in surprise: "Sister, you are really beautiful!

Everyone was stunned by Lin Xuan's sudden words, especially when they saw her obsessive and envious expression, they couldn't help laughing. The original tense atmosphere was eliminated by her simple words, but it caught Ruyi a little off guard and was slightly embarrassed. Wuxin and Shangguan Yunjie glanced at each other, and couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly.

"How is it, is there any news?" Shangguan Yunjie took advantage of the slightly slower atmosphere to look at Ruyi and hurriedly asked.

Hearing Shangguan Yunjie's question, the expression on Ruyi's face improved slightly, and after glaring at Wuxin, he said slowly: "After Master's confirmation, Changle Palace is indeed under the jurisdiction of Red Feather, places like this, Red Feather is almost everywhere in the rivers and lakes, some we know, and some we don't know, in addition to places like Changle Palace, there are casinos or something." ”

"Could it be that my father's mysterious disappearance really has something to do with Red Feather? But we have never had a grudge against Red Feather. Shangguan Yunjie said with a frown.

"With Red Feather's style of doing things, even if you once had no grudges against you, as long as you hindered their interests, they would never show mercy to your subordinates. Ruyi said affirmatively.

"Whether it's Red Feather or not, we can't wait any longer, it seems that we have to go to Changle Palace in person. Wuxin said lightly at this time. Among the three of them, he has the most contact with Red Feather, he knows Red Feather's methods, in front of them, there is no so-called hatred or hatred, only interests, killing for others for money, killing for himself for money.

"Also, the sisters of Furong Hall found out that no one saw him come out after the lord of Shangguan Fort entered Changle Palace that day, and Changle Palace was the most suspicious. Ruyi added again.

There was silence in the room for a moment, and everyone bowed their heads in thought. Lin Xuan on the side was too, although she still didn't understand what was going on, and she didn't understand what Wuxin had to do with the other two, she still listened thoughtfully.

"What did the Lord of Shangguan Fort come to Yunzhou for?" said Wuxin after thinking for a while. Shangguan Fengyun suddenly came to Yunzhou City and suddenly disappeared, there must be some connection between this.

"At that time, it was the manager of Yunzhou that said that we had a batch of goods that were detained, and the other party proposed a sky-high ransom, claiming that if it was not given, all the goods would be burned, and from now on, Fengyun Fort did not want to do business in Yunzhou City, and the steward had no countermeasures, so he had to tell his father, and said that he had never seen the other party's people in Yunzhou City, and he didn't know anyone at all. The other party asked to discuss the ransom in Changle Palace within three days, but because of the suddenness of the incident, his father hurriedly took Cheng Yuan to Yunzhou City, but as a result..."Shangguan Yunjie stopped when he said this, his face full of worry.

After listening to Shangguan Yunjie's narration of the whole matter, thinking of Red Feather and Ruyi's intelligence, it can basically be concluded that this matter is inseparable from Changle Palace and Red Feather.

"Okay, it's not early, rest early, and go to Changle Palace tomorrow to find out." Wuxin stood up and said slowly. After speaking, Shangguan Yunjie and Ruyi nodded and walked outside. Lin Xuan also walked out, and before leaving, she smiled at Ruyi and nodded.

Ruyi looked at Wuxin's back, and Lin Xuan who followed closely behind, there was a trace of jealousy in her eyes, she really wanted to be like that girl, throw away the identity of the Pavilion Master of the Phantom Sound Pavilion, give up the title of the young master of Furong Hall, and just follow Wuxin's back stupidly, inseparable. But is it really possible?

Shangguan Yunjie didn't notice the change in Ruyi at this moment, he was still worried about his father in his heart, thinking about what was going on. For him at this moment, his father's safety is what he should be more concerned about.

It was almost dawn, and the occasional rooster and dog bark heralded the arrival of a new day, and also indicated that the hard-working people were about to get up helplessly from the warm bed.

But at this moment, there are three people who have not slept yet, three rooms, three people who have not slept all night. Only Lin Xuan fell asleep in her room alone, it seemed that she was very tired, and she didn't know the southeast and northwest when she was tired.

Shangguan Yunjie was still lying on the table in front of the window thinking about something, the candle on the table had already burned out, but he didn't seem to be aware of it, he just clenched his fists tightly, and he didn't know what he was talking about......

The rooms of Ruyi and Wuxin are next to each other, and both of them stand in front of their windows, as if they both know that each other is next to each other, and as if they don't know anything. The two people who were close at hand felt very far away at the moment, and they were thinking about something, so they just stood there quietly, motionless......

The evening breeze blew gently into the house, with a hint of moisture mixed with a faint smell of smoke, and smoke was already rising from the roofs of several houses, preparing for the first breakfast after dawn. There are already pedestrians on the streets, and hard-working people have begun to work hard for the life they want, hoping that one day they can be like those big families, even if the sun reaches their buttocks, they will also burrow lazily in the warm quilt......

Everyone has the life they want, but not everyone can have the life they want, and there are too many unexpected helplessness in life itself.

In the rivers and lakes, being alive is already a happy ending. But sometimes you have to do everything you can for what you want, for the sake of your family, for your friends, or whatever......
