In the middle of the night, the Yanzhou border pass seems to be very peaceful, and during the day, the lively streets become deserted, and occasionally a few unadopted cats and dogs chase and play on the stone brick streets, and the tireless faint light is the only light in this border pass.

As the smoke billowed, the peddler wrapped his coarse linen clothes tightly again and again, threw strong noodles into the pot with boiling water, and then threw a tired smile at several officers and soldiers on duty at night.

They are people who live at night, and it seems that only at night can they survive on the streets, and only at night can people unconsciously reject the big restaurants and set their eyes on these inconspicuous roadside stalls.

A few officers and soldiers with their weapons casually straddled their feet were drinking the tea that had been brewed in a ceramic bowl with only a few tea leaves, but it was supposed to be a warm current that could run in their bodies on this difficult night.

They seem to have been accustomed to coveting the beauty of the night, facing the darkness around them, there is no fear in their eyes, and a large white circle is drawn on the azure military uniform, which seems to be written with dye, which is also a symbol given to them by the imperial court.

Occasionally, a few crows would fly in the sky, but they didn't know that the person who controlled the crows was staring at the entire Yanzhou border pass from the commanding heights not far away, also to let the young masters and young ladies in the inn sleep peacefully.

There is a very good saying, how can there be quiet years, there are always people who carry the weight for you.

Yun Yao seems to be the one who carries the weight for Lu Xie and the others, and at the same time, Yun Yao will often think about it in the middle of the night, he has almost forgotten when he did things under Jing Ran's hands, everything is too smooth, and even makes Yun Yao feel that staying by Jing Ran's side and seeing the blood-clothed man she established single-handedly seems to be a fate.

The cloud crow stood on the roof like a statue, surrounded by several crows, looking at his back, but a little lonely.

Poisonous Smoke's figure landed steadily beside the cloud crow, and the poisonous smoke gently patted the dust on the blood-red robe, facing the cloud crow, even the blood-clothed people who have been together for so long have never seen each other's appearances, maybe the mask is the only protection they can cover their hearts.

Most of the blood-clad people are withdrawn, they don't like to talk, they don't like to communicate with outsiders, and even companions seem to be shoehorned around them.

Cloud Crow looked at the poisonous smoke and asked softly, "Is Sakura asleep, why don't you rest?" ”

Poison Yan nodded lightly, and together with the cloud crow, he ignored the Yanzhou border pass, his eyes were full of indifference, "We are blood-clothed people, and we never show up, but since we followed the evil brother, we seem to have forgotten the way we were hiding and hiding at the beginning." ”

Cloud Crow chuckled in his mask, yes, it had been a long time since he had seen the sun, and it was Lu Xie who brought the blood-clothed man into the eyes of the world.

"Do you regret it. ”

After a simple question, the poisonous smoke shook his head.

Time flies, the night is long, but the sunrise will eventually come, and the sun will always be stingy to peek into the world first, and then expose its whole body.

And the sun seems to enjoy playing the game in general, day after day, and never gets tired of it.

Tang Ling'er got up very early, maybe because she heard the rooster crow, or maybe because she was used to getting up early, seeing that Tang Feng and Lingxi hadn't gotten up yet.

Tang Ling'er crept up and leaned her smaller body against the window.

There were more and more crowds coming and going, wandering swordsmen with salutes and hats, or weak scholars hurrying to their next destination, or a group of naughty children fighting together.

And Tang Linger's gaze has been on the body of the group of naughty children, from time to time will leak envious eyes, smiling, it seems that Tang Linger also hopes that he has such a childhood.

I saw that Tang Ling'er suddenly felt that a robe was on his body, and Lingxi draped the robe on Tang Ling'er's shoulders behind Tang Ling'er, and then kissed Tang Ling'er's emaciated cheek.

"Ling'er, why do you get up so early. ”

When she heard Lingxi's words, Tang Ling'er turned her head, Lingxi was looking at herself with a smile, and Tang Feng had already gotten up, and his steps were light and didn't let Tang Ling'er notice it.

Tang Ling'er grinned and said, "Daddy, mother, Ling'er doesn't have the habit of sleeping late, my grandfather has always taught me to go to bed early and get up early, and at this time, Ling'er will also go out to chop wood." ”

Tang Feng walked forward with some distress, touched Tang Ling'er's head, and said with a smile, "It's a good thing to go to bed early and get up early, but Ling'er doesn't need to do those tiring jobs in the future, Aunt Jingran may come to Ling'er in a while." ”

Tang Ling'er didn't forget what Lu Xie had said to him yesterday, and then nodded heavily.

Not for a while.

Jingran knocked on the door, and in Jingran's understanding, Tang Feng and Lingxi must have gotten up at this point, but they just don't know if Tang Ling'er got up, so they chose to knock on the door.

After entering the door, Tang Feng just nodded to Jingran, and walked towards Lu Xie's room with Lingxi, while Jingran stayed by Tang Ling'er's side and taught Tang Ling'er to get started with luck pranayama, but Jingran didn't know if Tang Ling'er was so young and could accept these things.

After swapping rooms, Lu Xie seemed to have known that Tang Feng would come, so he made tea early.

Sure enough, the moment Tang Feng pushed open the door of Lu Xie's room, Lu Xie didn't even raise his eyebrows.

And not long after Tang Feng sat down, Xiao Qi and Xinya also followed.

Xiao Qi seemed to have gotten up earlier than everyone else, and it seemed that he had already gone out, so he said with a sigh of relief, "The matter of departure is ready, we can set off in a while, and we can reach Yanzhou City before night, but Yun Yao received the news that the family in Yanzhou City seems to be in civil strife." ”

Lu Xie looked at Xiao Qi with some surprise, Yun Yao is really powerful, he even received the news of Yan Zhou City, although he didn't know how Yun Yao did this, but Yun Yao was indeed an indispensable person in their team.

It's just that at this time, an uninvited guest came to the inn.

More than a dozen officers and soldiers directly surrounded the inn, and a man in armor slowly walked up the stairs, while the innkeeper looked at the man in armor unconsciously.

It is very familiar, this is the chief soldier of the Yanzhou Border Pass, Ye Chong, everyone who lives in this Yanzhou Border Pass knows that Ye Chong is a very upright person, and he has always been iron-faced and ruthless, probably because of this, he offended some people who should not be offended, and was assigned to this place where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't as a general commander who only has a few taels a month.

Even the shopkeeper has heard of Ye Chong's heroic deeds, heard that Ye Chong has killed several corrupt officials, and used to be a very good military attache in the palace, but he was suddenly assigned, and the affairs in the palace have always been in dire straits, even if you are curious, it is not good to inquire too much.

The people in this palace are too ruthless, and they will kill their heads at every turn, like ordinary people who can't care at all.

Ye Chong seemed to be prepared, and walked directly into Lu Xie's room, and such a strange man walked into Lu Xie's room like this, and everyone was slightly vigilant.

An officer and soldier beside Ye Chong said directly, "After seeing Captain Ye, don't you come to see him?"

I saw Ye Chong with his hands behind his back, looking at the front with an indifferent expression.

Lu Xie and the others frowned at the same time, Xiao Qi stood up directly and said, "Soldier Commander Ye, I don't know Soldier Commander Ye, we just passed by here, I don't know what crime we have committed?"

The officers and soldiers unyieldingly drew their knives directly, stepped forward and looked at Xiao Qi viciously and said, "What I said is that if you don't come forward to meet Soldier Commander Ye when you see it, you don't even know Soldier Commander Ye, I don't care where you passed by, kneel down for me immediately." ”

After hearing this, everyone was shocked that a small officer and soldier dared to be so disrespectful to Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi was not so good-tempered, he directly raised his leg and kicked the officers and soldiers to the ground, stared at the officers and soldiers and said, "I Xiao Qi have never seen anyone, is a little soldier commander amazing, what are you, you dare to talk to me like this?"

The officers and soldiers immediately got up from the ground, patted their buttocks, looked at Xiao Qi with annoyance, and the official knife in their hands was ready to slash at Xiao Qi.

I saw that Mingjia directly clasped the arms of the officers and soldiers, and looked at the officers and soldiers with a sneer, and the officers and soldiers couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they looked at the poisonous purple eyes.

Ye Chong suddenly said, "Go down, these people, you can't afford to provoke them, you have to thank others for showing mercy, it's not Lu Xie or Tang Feng who kicked you, otherwise your little life will be difficult to protect." ”

Now that Ye Chong knew the origin of the others, everyone looked at Ye Chong with questioning eyes.

And Ming Jia also let go of the arms of the officers and soldiers and stood beside Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi looked at Ye Chong fearlessly, and said, "Commander Ye, since you know who we are, why bother. ”

Ye Chong waved his hand lightly and said, "I'm not here to embarrass you, I just want to come and see with my own eyes what this demon boy looks like." ”

When the words fell, Ye Chong directly handed his eyes to Lu Xie's body, and said with a slight smile, "The legendary demon boy is really a little courageous, and he can actually drink tea calmly." ”

Lu Xie snorted, and responded with a smile full of evil energy, "Otherwise, I still have to tremble when I see you, say, your intention." ”

Saw.

Ye Chong directly ignored Xiao Qi and Ming Jia, and walked directly towards Lu Xie, and Ming Jia seemed to want to stop, Tang Feng, who was sitting next to Lu Xie, waved his hand directly.

Seeing Tang Feng give Ming Jia a look, Ming Jia gave up, anyway, this kid looks quite capable of pretending, if he really makes a move, it is estimated that it is just a fake trick, and after putting his heart down, he patted Xiao Qi's shoulder and sat down next to him.

When Ye Chong walked in front of Lu Xie, he didn't sit down directly across the coffee table, but just smiled slightly, "You know Xiao Erniang, right?"

Lu Xie and the others frowned at the same time, but Lu Xie just nodded lightly.

Ye Chong chuckled, "Don't doubt it, I don't know Xiao Erniang, but I'm very familiar with Bai Xiangtian, and we've done a lot of ridiculous things together before." ”

Listening to Ye Chong say this, could it be that Ye Chong was also one of the forty-nine Tiangang back then? Forty-nine Tiangang is really a mystery, so many people are scattered in various places, although they don't get together, but these people still remember their partners.

After knowing Ye Chong's details, Lu Xie still asked directly, "What is your intention?"

Ye Chong smiled and said, "I disdain to be close to you young masters, Lao Bai is my very good old man, you saved him, then I will give you a piece of advice, the Zhang family in Yanzhou City, if you want to be unfavorable to you, you should be careful when you go." ”

Lu Xie raised his eyebrows slightly, "Zhang family, why do you want to be unfavorable to us." ”

"Because you killed Zhang Yin in Nanyu City, and the Zhang family in Yanzhou City advocated that the crane was Zhang Yin's own brother. Ye Chong's eyes were cold and said bluntly.
