Ye Baiyi shook his head: "Li is just a scholar, he has no power to restrain the chicken, if he really can't protect himself at that critical juncture, how can he take care of a child who is seven or eight years old?"

The old man said: "Li Gongzi is too humble, not to mention Gongzi's sword, the flow of the qi of this sword practitioner is different from ordinary people. The old man was mediocre in the first half of his life, but after all, he has read countless people, and he still has this eyesight. ”

Ye Baiyi said: "There are thousands of people in the world, and since they have their own destiny, I have my own plans when things come to an end." ”

The old man was distracted for a moment when he heard this, but fortunately he put on a smiling face at the end, and said Qi Qiran: "Also, how can there be such an unreasonable thing in the world." The old man's words were rude, and he hoped that the son would not remember it. ”

"No, it won't. Ye Baiyi waved his hand, raised the bowl and drank the wine in his throat.

At this time, a saber figure returned on a snowy night, and when he saw the two people in the courtyard, he was about to speak, but Ye Baiyi said first: "Uncle Zhao knows everything." ”

Yin Youcheng froze in place, becoming more and more unclear, so he glanced at the old man, who was lying on the wooden chair with his eyes closed and recuperating, his face was serene, and his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest. Yin Youcheng knew three points in his heart, so he didn't say more.

"What is there to prepare in the village. Yin Youcheng asked.

"Two days ago, I told them to get their bags ready and go down the mountain at any time. Since the two sons have to travel tomorrow, let's rest early. ”

After saying that, the old man got up and walked slowly back to the house, and the snow fell behind him.

The two of them followed closely into the house, but they didn't close their eyes tacitly. Ye Baiyi sat on the side meditating, while Yin Youcheng lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with two eyes wide, and then turned his head to look out the window at the boundless darkness of the snowy night.

After a long time, Bai Yi opened his eyes and took the lead in telling Yin Youcheng about Zhao Guting, but the latter didn't react much, just tossed and turned on the bed.

Ye Baiyi lowered his eyebrows and said, "Leave tomorrow?" you know that those people would rather kill by mistake than let go, and everyone who knows about this will not survive. ”

Yin Youcheng smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, most of the forces planning this matter are inseparable from the palace thousands of miles away, and it would be good for us to protect ourselves." ”

After speaking, Yin Youcheng sat up and said, "Sir, you go down the mountain early tomorrow morning, and the civil strife in Suzhou will not be able to go." We went south into Shu. ”

Ye Baiyi didn't resist, but just asked, "So what about you?"

Yin Youcheng chuckled lightly and said, "Didn't Mr. not want to go all the way to Tianjing City with me from the beginning, just following Mr.'s wishes, in the future, they will have their own destiny and meet each other, how about it?"

Ye Baiyi answered, and then fell into silence again. Yin Youcheng frowned and thought for a long time, sighed, then lay down and said, "Don't hide it from Mr., I have to send King Jin down the mountain tomorrow." ”

"Miss Yue'er. ”

"Whatever she does, we're a horse, and it's her job to keep up. It's better for Mr. to take her for me, this girl's temper is a little stubborn, but she is very sloppy in doing things, hard-working, and she is partial to the master in everything, and her heart is still good. If you promise to write her a note now, she won't complain about you. ”

Ye Baiyi shook his head, tore off a piece of white cloth from his shirt, sat on the windowsill, took out the four treasures of the study from the bookcase, opened the inkstone and lifted the pen, took advantage of the white light of the light snow outside the window to write Liao Liao's number, bit his finger and dripped blood on it, and then rolled up the cloth strip and tied it up, and handed it to Yin Youcheng.

"Twenty miles to the north, that is, Bian Cheng, the son of heaven is the shopkeeper, the rivers and lakes are notoriously tight-lipped, show him this, if there is any request, he will do his best. This strip of cloth is not to be opened along the way, but if you can trust me, you can take it. ”

Yin Youcheng was stunned on the bed by these words, hesitated, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that there were red and black blood stains mixed with oozing outside the strip of cloth, so he reached out and took it, stared at the strip of cloth with a locked brow for a while, and suddenly grinned: "Ha, Mr. is a good word!"

Then the black robe got up, went out with his luggage and stepped into the snowy night alone, saying goodbye.

Ye Baiyi sat quietly for an hour, the long sword at his waist was unsheathed an inch, and when he saw that the snow outside the house was lighter, he got up to put away the sword, picked up the bookcase, and went down the mountain before dawn.

Early the next morning, something strange happened in the village chief's house. The three people who came to stay in the village last night disappeared without a trace overnight, and even their luggage disappeared. This news also spread in the village, boiling. The old man Zhao Guting was quite calm, he got up early in the morning and sat in the courtyard to close his eyes and recuperate, but the other people who learned about this incident all exploded, speculating about the origin of these three people, and all families went home to rummage through boxes and cabinets, looking for relatives and friends, for fear that these were three snitches running around to commit crimes, stealing chickens and dogs, abducting women and children, and the result was naturally that the neighbors were as safe as ever. This made everyone more and more puzzled, these three people came and went in a hurry, what happened, the short-sighted villagers can only be attributed to the unpredictable style of the people in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know which place is the quirk.

At this time, Qiu Yufei, who brought breakfast to Mr. Liu, also ran back, came to the old man with a panicked face, and said that even Mr. Liu in the west of the village was gone. So everyone talked about it again, and patted their heads and said that these three thieves were here to rob people, and they must be the enemies of Mr. Liu on the rivers and lakes, but because Mr. Liu did not have a deep friendship with the people in the village, no one really wanted to go down the mountain to find people for this reason. The people in the village also took this as an after-dinner conversation, scolding two sentences of unpredictability in the rivers and lakes, knowing people and faces, but not their hearts, pretending to be a chivalrous heart to say some gossip behind their backs and poke the backbones of the three people. But Qiu Yu was skeptical about this, first of all, judging from the scene when several people met last night, the two sides did not know each other, could it be that the three of them had a whimsical idea to kidnap a sick teacher, right?

Turning a deaf ear to these gossips and sitting in the courtyard, Wu drank rice wine and looked at the light snow accumulated on the mountain, his brows stretched little by little.

Before noon, a few children under the mountain ran up the hill crying and screaming, and ran into the village with a frightened face. These children had slipped down the hill to play with their mothers when they were going to the river to wash their clothes, and now they were crying and mourning back to the village, and the adults naturally asked where the children's mother was. Immediately following several women, they also rushed into the village in a panic, and they didn't even care about their messy hair and disheveled clothes, and even the clothes they took down the mountain to wash were thrown away, and they panicked. One of the children cried: "Many officers and soldiers came down from the mountain, and Chunsheng and his mother were taken away. ”

On the other hand, Chunsheng had already squatted on the side, hugged his head and cried silently. The women who ran into the village were so anxious that they were talking incoherently, probably because this group of officers and soldiers were coming up the mountain to do all sorts of things, and everyone was in a mess.
