Hearing Chai Shaoning's sudden silence, Xue Nianci thought that Chai Shaoning was thin-faced and couldn't afford to joke, so she said embarrassedly: "Third brother, don't be angry, Nianci is joking with you!"

Chai Shaoning suppressed the pain and pretended to smile: "Is the third brother such a stingy person?"

The river was gurgling, and it turned out to be living water! Chai Shaoning then explained in a far-fetched manner: "I was just thinking that if you want to sneak into the mansion without anyone knowing, this river would be an ideal entrance!"

Xue Nianci was really diverted and said, "It turns out that the third brother doesn't understand water. If someone has brought water into the inner lake in the courtyard, how can they not fortify it underwater?"

Chai Shaoning said with a strong smile: "Maybe it's because I don't understand water that I'm worried about people here, right?"

As they spoke, they inadvertently focused all their attention on the river.

Coincidentally, at this time, a few bubbles bubbled out of the water surface of the river, although the sound of rain was dripping, it was also very abrupt in the ears of Chai Shaoning and Xue Nianci.

Chai Shaoning's heart moved. The drizzle was continuous, and it was impossible to make such a big blister, if there were fish in the water, how could it be that only this one fish had been ventilated for so long? He and Bai Lu glanced at each other, and the two of them were silent, sliding towards the sound of the water like two rain lines.

A splash of water quietly rises, rippling everywhere as the drizzle falls on the water, unnoticed. But Chai Shaoning's night eyes clearly saw that there was an extra thin bamboo pipe on the water surface.

The bamboo pipe no longer floated upwards when it was exposed, but drifted vertically downstream away from the courtyard wall, leaving a faint ripple mark on the surface of the river that slowly expanded.

Xue Nianci couldn't see it really, but she also vaguely noticed the slight change in the water waves, and without Chai Shaoning's greeting, she jumped lightly from the branches and flew away, and followed the thin pipe into the depths of the dense forest.

With a soft "bang", a man in black climbed ashore from the water like a ghost, gently wiped the stagnant water from behind the tree, and walked along a forest path to the other end of the woods.

Chai Shaoning and the others were silent, and followed the man in black into a large manor outside the forest.

This manor is very elegantly packed, with bamboo pavilion bridges, lake rockeries, and streams running through it, and the classic shape of the rich buildings in the south of the Yangtze River.

The man in black in front had not walked far, and a hall appeared by the lake, and an old man with a majestic face stood on the steps in front of the hall.

This old man has white eyebrows, but he doesn't give people the feeling of old age at all, but in the reflection of the lights under the corridor, he feels more prominent, and the white eyebrows and white beards are like needles, inlaid on the red face, there is an explosive majesty, like a marshal standing on the platform of the general and commanding the three armies!

The old man was dressed in blue, standing with his hands in his hands, and when he saw the man in black appearing, he snorted coldly and said, "Zhang Jun, you are known as a tailless fish, and you don't know if you came back with a tail?"

When the old man said this, not only Zhang Jun was surprised, but even Chai Shaoning and Xue Nianci were also taken aback.

The two of them were confident that they didn't make any noise, the rainy night was dark, and they said that the other party was more than ten feet away, even if they were around, unless they had a pair of night eyes like Chai Shaoning, it would be difficult to find someone coming.

However, as soon as the old man looked at his face, he sensed that an outsider had infiltrated, and such a skill was really appalling!

When the two of them were thinking about whether to advance or retreat, a woman's faint sigh sounded behind a rockery not far away: "It turned out to be General Yue Weimingyue, no wonder he dared to return to Jinling in this season of slaughter!"

Chai Shaoning and Xue Nianci were taken aback again. On the one hand, I was glad that I didn't stand up rashly, and on the other hand, someone came with me at hand, but I didn't realize that this person's light skills are also incredible!

Yue Weiming waved his hand lightly, signaled the man in black Zhang Jun to retreat, and then raised his head and said in the direction of the rockery: "Mei Ji, I haven't seen you for twenty years, your light skills have really reached a desperate situation, if you can calm down a little, how can I deceive you?"

Chai Shaoning and Xue Nianci knew that Yue Weiming was using a trick just now, and the two of them were secretly ashamed, and they both felt that compared with these old rivers and lakes, they were still very tender.

A beautiful shadow flashed from behind the rockery, and she was not seen to take a step, and had already floated to the front of the hall like a ghost.

Chai Shaoning and Xue Nianci couldn't see Mei Ji's face behind them, but Yue Weiming stared at Mei Ji's face for a long time, and sighed: "You are still so beautiful, but I am already old!"

Mei Ji still complained in her faint female voice, "Who can I admire my beauty but you?"

Chai Shaoning and Xue Nianci looked at each other when they heard this.

Listening to Bai Feiyu, Mei Ji is one of the three masters around the emperor, but this Yue Weiming doesn't look like a person from the court, otherwise how could the two not see each other for twenty years?

Listening to Mei Ji's tone of resentment, Yue Weiming sighed and said: "I avenged my righteous brother back then, and I was surrounded instead of assassinating the emperor. If you hadn't secretly rescued me, I would have been gone!"

Mei Ji interrupted Yue Weiming's words and said: "At that time, the emperor found the wind and rain in the palace of the former dynasty, and I was like the ghost and the night wandering god, because I coveted superior swordsmanship, so I didn't leave with you." I thought you would come back to me, but after waiting for twenty years, you didn't show up. I only forgot about me, a bad woman, after you healed from your injuries, married a wife, had children, and lived a peaceful and secluded life. Who knows that you still haven't forgotten to avenge General Ouyang!"

Yue Weiming shook his head when he heard this: "How could I forget my savior? After leaving Jinling for many years, I have no women and no joy every night, but it is all because of you, no woman can really occupy my heart like you." I often think to myself, I wonder if you conceived a son and a half daughter for me after that night, you must know that I was already sixty years old!"

Chai Shaoning was secretly speechless when he heard it, not because the wind and rain drifting sword technique, one of the four great magic skills of dragon, phoenix, floating, and shaking, had finally reappeared in the rivers and lakes, but that Yue Weiming was so old, he was still keen on things between men and women, and his energy was unimaginable! But he said so clearly to Mei Ji, Chai Shaoning couldn't understand whether he liked Mei Ji, or was he deliberately angry with Mei Ji?

Xue Nianci didn't go through the affairs between men and women, and when she heard Yue Weiming's speech so straightforward, her face flushed, afraid that Chai Shaoning would see it, so she couldn't turn her head away.

Mei Ji was not angry at all, but sighed: "It's all because I didn't hold back for a while, and I hurt you, so that you will suffer from the poison of blood Gu from now on." At that time, although you had already hung up the seal, but still often returned to Jinling, I was ordered by the emperor to monitor you, but unexpectedly impressed by your demeanor, gradually liked you, so that that night I couldn't help myself. It's a pity that I was afraid that the emperor would find out later, so I quietly fell into our child!" Speaking of this, Mei Ji moved emotionally, and sobbed softly: "Wei Ming, I'm sorry for you!"

Chai Shaoning and Xue Nianci didn't know what Blood Gu was? They didn't understand what the purpose of the "poison" in Mei Ji's words was? Could it be that Yue Weiming tried to replace it with another woman in order to restrain his thoughts about Mei Ji? But it was too shameless to say it so openly.

Mei Ji not only didn't blame the other party, but blamed herself for it, and she really loved Yue for Caritas to the extreme.

Chai Shaoning and Xue Nianci glanced at each other, and saw that each other's eyes showed a look of great surprise, and then both of them blushed, and they were busy turning their heads away.

Yue Weiming no longer had the slightest hostility towards Mei Ji at this time, and walked down the steps to wipe away her tears for Mei Ji and said, "It's all about making people." Before that, in order to secretly take care of my brother's children, I didn't rush to take revenge, and waited for my brother's descendants to complete their swordsmanship, and then I gave up my life to assassinate. But it was only from this that I found out the mind of your confidante. After that, I became a thief and was wanted by the whole country, how could I bear to involve you?"

These two people chattered and chatted endlessly about the past, but Chai Shaoning and Xue Nianci over there were lying in the rain but didn't dare to move.

Yue Weiming and Mei Ji in front of them are both first-class masters, once they are discovered, not only will they be startled, but they will also lose the opportunity to detect the enemy, and they will probably not be able to leave this place alive. Chai Shaoning couldn't help but regret that he didn't capture Zhang Jun in the forest.

Fortunately, Mei Ji also realized that the time had dragged on too long, and cut to the point: "If you came back this time to assassinate the emperor, how could you send someone to sneak into Beppu, the king of Hainan?"

Yue Weiming said without concealment: "I came back this time because I was appointed by King Shuntian. Now that the war in Hebei is tight, the king of Hainan has entered Beijing in a high-profile manner to show his loyalty, forcing the king of Shuntian to a desperate situation that everyone spurns. If we can assassinate the king of Hainan in Beijing, we can provoke Prince Qing and Hainan's soldiers to rebel, and that will greatly alleviate the crisis of Suncheon!"

Mei Ji was silent for a while after listening, and then said in a low voice: "The emperor has already thought that you will take this move, and he has already taken the king of Hainan into the palace first, and that courtyard is just a bait." Fortunately, the person who chased it out this time was me, if it was that fast sword Yao Zhiyuan, I am afraid that you will be surrounded by heavy troops at this time!"

Yue Weiming sighed when he heard this: "Mei Ji, you tell me such a confidential matter, aren't you afraid that the emperor will confess to you if he finds out?"

Mei Ji shook her head gloomily and said, "I have betrayed the emperor twenty years ago. As he spoke, he hurriedly said: "I regretted not leaving with you for the sake of swordsmanship back then, which made me regret it for twenty years!

Yue Weiming heard Mei Ji's sudden emotion, and he also became excited and said: "I was seriously injured back then, although I escaped from Jinling, but I was sick all the way, I wanted to go to Shandong, and I was afraid of affecting the descendants of my righteous brother, but the sores recurred in Hebei, and it was the eldest prince who rescued me and secretly brought me back to Shuntian for healing, which saved my life." He has respected me like a teacher all these years, and I must not abandon him in his most difficult time!"

Mei Ji suddenly said: "When King Shuntian escaped from Yingtian, I had already seen the shadow of your swordsmanship from him. At that time, I thought that I was thinking too much, so I connected the imperial court prisoner with the eldest son of the royal family!"
