The snow in northern Xinjiang fell more violently than in previous years, and the lights of Luoyang City at night illuminated the snow very brightly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe wings in the west courtyard of the Fuwang Mansion on the west side of Hantan Lake are scattered along the lake, and the candles on the lakeside reflect the dappled water waves. Snowflakes drift on the surface of the lake and turn into icy water and sink to the bottom of the lake.

At this moment, Ruoda's Fuwang Mansion was silent in a snowstorm, and the lights in the distance occasionally flashed one or two dark shadows.

"Nameless, you still haven't found your waist card? Su Yue stood by the lake with a cloudy face and asked in a low voice.

Chai Wuming leaned on the stone pillar of the wooden pavilion by the lake in green clothes, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he whispered, "Big brother, only you and I know about this matter, if it really comes to that point, I will bear it alone." His face was as usual, and he looked at the dark lake with a blank face, letting the cold wind blow his long hair on his shoulders.

"The two of us brothers went together, even if it was a big thing, my brother would definitely carry it for you, but it's really not good... And Master. Su Yue looked at Chai Wuming standing in the wind and snow on the shore, and his voice became softer and softer. He knew very well in his heart that the mission to the western kingdom of Yunhai must be an extremely strange thing. The woman kidnapped by the two of them on the shore of the Crescent Moon Lake actually alarmed the mountain and stone ghosts in the western kingdom of Yunhai, and there must be something strange in this.

This order was given by his respected master personally, and no matter how much he thought about it in his heart, he did not dare to disobey his master's order for half a point. However, during his trip to the Western Regions, Chai Wuming actually lost his brocade guard waist card in the barren sand of the West Sea, and if this matter reached the ears of the commander, his life would be difficult to preserve.

Chai Wuming stood quietly in the wooden pavilion, without speaking, and the sound of snowflakes falling was extremely clear in his ears.

Su Yue looked back at Chai Wuming, and said slowly, "I entered the master's door when I was ten years old, and the commander will definitely look at the master's affection..."

Chai Wuming shook his head, a smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and whispered, "Big brother, I know this." However, if the loss of the waist card is discovered by others, if it involves what the commander ordered the two of us to do, it will definitely cause a storm in the court. I don't want to embarrass Commander Ning, and I don't want you to be embarrassed. ”

"What are you talking about? We both have been born and died for so many years. How could I take your life and ignore it?" Su Yue's eyes showed a soft light, and when he heard that Chai Wuming wanted to take responsibility alone, he said impatiently.

The two have been wandering the streets of Jinling since childhood, when Su Yue was ten years old, Ning Wuji was accepted as a disciple by Ning Wuji, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Chai Wuming had just turned eight years old. Since then, Su Yue has been learning martial arts in the Fu Division, while Chai Wuming was accepted as a disciple by Ning Wuji's senior brother Gongsun Yu at Su Yue's request to his master, and went to Xiaoyao Island to concentrate on cultivation. Although the two are not related by blood, they are like close brothers, and they belong to the same lineage.

Ten years later, at the invitation of Ning Wuji, Gongsun Yu ordered Chai to go out of the island to join Jinyiwei without a name, and he and Su Yue have been roaming the rivers and lakes for more than five years. During this period, Tong Ye and Ji Feng joined one after another, known as the Four Tigers of Jinyi, and the jade tassel was adopted by Ning Wuji, who grew up in Jinling since she was a child.

A few months ago, Su Yue and Chai Wuming received a secret order from the commander, asking them to secretly sneak into the King City of Yunhaixi and rob a woman on the shore of Crescent Lake into Jinling. The two of them were taken by the golden-clothed warriors of the West Palace, and the woman was abducted on the shore of the Crescent Lake. Unexpectedly, they were pursued by mountain and stone ghosts on the way back to the Central Plains, and Chai Wuming accidentally lost the Jinyi Wei waist card when crossing the barren sand of the West Sea.

The two returned to Jinling with this woman, and before they could tell Ning Wuji about the loss of their waist card, they received the order of the prince and the four tigers of Jinyi Wei were ordered to inspect the northern Xinjiang.

"I have my own way to deal with this, so don't worry about me anymore. Chai Wuming walked out of the wooden pavilion and came to the lake to step on the snow on the lakeside, and the footprints behind him were slowly covered by snow petals. He stood beside Su Yue, looked at it, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect King Yan to hide so deeply, and we didn't find any of his disobedience in Beiping." ”

"Sooner or later, the rebellion of the kings will lead to Jinling, but Master seems..."Su Yue stood by the lake, pondered for a moment, paused, and sighed, "King Fu actually showed his strength in front of us, which I never expected. ”

The water of Hantan Lake emitted a biting coldness, which made the two of them shiver a lot. Chai Wuming put his hands tightly over his robe, returned to the stove in the middle of the wooden pavilion, and shrugged the snow on his body, "Perhaps, King Fu is the prince's faction, and he is not taboo about fighting in Jinling City." ”

"The wind and rain of the rivers and lakes have never been far from Jinling, I just hope that Master will not be involved. Su Yue lowered his head and slowly walked to the wooden couch stove, and the light of the fire in the stove reflected the wrinkles on his weather-beaten face. "However, in ancient and modern times, there are few people who have been able to overcome this supreme temptation. ”

Chai Wuming swept away the snow on his body, squatted down, and smiled faintly, "Before leaving Jinling, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to choose a concubine for the imperial grandson. ”

Su Yue looked up at the snowflakes falling in the sky, and the trace of worry just now returned to calm. He looked at Chai Wuming's inexplicable smile, and was stunned for a moment and responded, "Is it? It's just a tool for a political struggle." ”

"The struggle for imperial power has always been the result of the binding of interests of all parties" Chai Wuming got up and sat on the stone bench in front of the guardrail, a trace of worry vaguely flashed between his eyebrows, and he said in a low voice, "However, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has chosen a princess of Fanbang for the imperial grandson." ”

"Fanbang, it can't be a Mongolian," Su Yue came back to his senses and said with a smile.

"Big brother..."Chai Wuming stared at Su Yue with his eyes and shouted coldly. At this time, the last thing he wanted to think was that the prince intended to marry Yunhai Xiguo, and if the woman that the two of them hijacked was the future crown princess. He was a little afraid when he thought about this matter, if things were really as he thought, Commander Ning would definitely be involved. But King Qing, who commands the Jinyi Guard, is the prince's confidant, which is incomprehensible to him.

"What kind of person!" Su Yue shouted as he looked at the figure flashing in the snow in the distance.

"Big brother, it's me" Tong Ye walked from the bluestone path next to the snow bushes with a pot of wine dangling, "... When I woke up, I wanted to find someone to drink, but there was no one in your room, so I wandered around with my wine. ”

"You're an alcoholic. Chai Wuming turned his head and shouted at Tong Ye who was swaying over, "I really don't know, how Lord Ning let you join Jinyiwei." From the actual recruitment, was the examiner bought by you at the beginning? ”

"That's something. Tong Ye's legs didn't stand firm, his body swayed more and more, but his pace became faster and faster towards the wooden pavilion.

"You be careful" Chai Wuming saw that Tong Ye was not awake from drinking, and his legs began to slip, and hurriedly reminded.

"Ouch" Tong Ye slipped and fell to the ground with wine.

Su Yue said lightly, "You don't want to find a better place to drink, and run around." Wait for me to help you?"

"This... How embarrassing is this. Tong Ye lay on the ground, his face flushed, "No... No," but the legs didn't mean to get up.
