write a letter

What is the purpose of the cult members appearing in this wild place this time and making so much noise?Was it also this group of people who wanted to assassinate him last night?

Many thoughts flashed through Luo Xingyun's mind, but his face was still silent for a while, before he said: "This person...could it be a cult?"

"Oh? How did Shaoxia Luo see it?" Su Tian asked, but he couldn't recognize the origin of the picture of two snakes.

"The pattern engraved on this person's back is something I've seen on a cult elder at the Dragon Feast of the Eight Corpses. It must be some branch of the cult." Luo Xingyun wanted to blurt it out, but at the time The book was also present, so it was hard for him to hide it.

"Huh?" Hearing that they were discussing, he walked over and frowned at the picture of two snakes, but said in a daze, "I don't have any impression."

Luo Xingyun glanced at Li Wanshu, feeling a little confused for a moment, but because he didn't know why the other party chose to help get through this matter, he didn't speak again.

"Apart from abducting a few people, there is no big movement. What is the evil cult trying to do with this thing?" Su Tianyi was a little stunned. They had never formally fought against the evil cult, but this time they stretched their hands and feet near the floating lotus wall. Is there any intention of probing?

"No matter what, we can't be exposed to the world yet, even if the emperor has some guesses, we can avoid it." Li Wanshu said.

Su Tianyi: "But...is it possible to let them investigate?"

"Of course not. Is it fun for you to take the ominous name of this floating lotus wall? There are some places that even we dare not lead people into easily. Since he doesn't have long eyes and wants to come in and take a look, then we can take a look at this land." Just leave it to them."

Sutian was shocked when he heard about it: "I have waited so hard to settle down in this place..."

Li Wanshu sighed softly: "The current situation is changing rapidly, when it is broken, it will be broken."

"...Then where can we hide?"

"Speaking of avoiding, it's better to use hiding..." Li Wanshu put away his fan, and said lightly at an extremely slow speed, "I have been hiding for 20 years. I just feel that I am not a human or a ghost, but what can I do? Now is not the time, we can't do it lightly, otherwise how can we be worthy of the people who threw their lives for my adoptive father back then, and still bear the humiliation and nest in this dynasty Loyal ministers in the middle?"

He seemed to be answering, and also seemed to be muttering to himself. The elegant and bookish spirit in the past suddenly changed into a kind of demeanor unique to the royal family that Luo Xingyun saw in others, that is a kind of strategizing and controlling the world complacent.

This calmness will make people easily forget that this is just a 25-year-old young man, but a mature king of a country.

What Luo Xingyun knows is that Li Wanshu has probably never had the ambition to be king, but unfortunately, the general trend, he has already shouldered all the responsibilities before he is sensible, and these forces him to keep moving forward , forcing him to take on the revival expectations and decline of a dynasty early.

But no one has asked him if he is willing, and he has never asked himself if he is willing.

Luo Xingyun felt that this man was actually the same as those assassins in Qi Yutang, who could only follow the trajectory step by step, because they had a certain plan, but they didn't struggle. In the end, they could only numbly let this kind of thing become a a habit.

And what it's like to struggle to escape after becoming a habit, Luo Xingyun couldn't be more clear.

"Ayun," Li Wanshu suddenly put away his serious expression, and looked at Luo Xingyun, "After last night, I really don't feel at ease, how about I personally protect you from now on?"

As soon as Luo Xingyun heard this guy's tone, he felt that something was wrong, so he squinted at the hypocrite, "Oh, how do you want to get close?"

"It's very simple, as long as you tonight..." Li Wanshu whispered a few words in Luo Xingyun's ear, before he could finish, the latter slipped away with oil on his feet .

As soon as Su Tian witnessed the flirting between the proprietor of his family and another big man, he felt that his honest eyes would be ruined.

The man who had slipped away from the distance walked forward with his hands behind his back, and a slow voice followed: "Since Master Li doesn't have any constructive suggestions, please shut up, Master Su, we will go back first."

"Cough! Good, good." As soon as Su Tian heard the words, he raised his heels neatly, and did not forget to glance at his owner, for a moment he forgot who was the master and who was the slave.

Li Wanshu still had that incomprehensible smile on his face. He seemed to be helplessly looking at the two figures in front of him. It took a while before he took a step forward, but at that moment his His eyes quickly swept over the picture of two snakes behind the corpse on the ground, and a glimmer of light of unknown meaning flashed across his eyes.

In March and April, the capital city was as prosperous as ever. Perhaps it was because of the light rain that fell at night, and the slightest coolness permeated the night. Passers-by rubbed their hands and cursed the sudden cold.

What is blowing in the capital is the wind that is about to come.

Not to mention that the five thousand elite soldiers who were supposed to be supporting them suddenly appeared in the imperial city, the emperor suddenly conferred the title of inspector of the eight prefectures and went to various states and counties to check the achievements of the government, and there is also the book that can be said to be "powerful" in the capital. It is very strange that the well-known Zhou Zaifu suddenly became as honest as a watchdog.

On Xuanwu Street in the capital city tonight, a sneaky-looking man hurried into an inn wearing a cloak that covered most of his face.

At this time, the inn was close to closing time, so there were not many people. When the shopkeeper saw someone walking in, he hurried over to say hello.

"Guest officer, do you want to eat or stay at the restaurant?" The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly.

The man in the cloak took out a large ingot of silver ingot from his waist and threw it into the shopkeeper's hand, and said coldly: "Stay in the shop, room No. [-], Tianzi, lead the way."

The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at the man in the cloak in surprise, then hurriedly lowered his head to put away the ingot and said, "Yes! Yes! This way, please!"

The man in the cloak silently followed behind the shopkeeper, the aura around him made the latter dare not say much, and soon the two of them arrived in front of Room No. [-], Tianzi.

The shopkeeper quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in the cold weather, and said timidly, "This is room No. [-], Tianzi."

The man in the cloak didn't speak, just nodded, and then reached out to knock on the door, and the shopkeeper took advantage of this moment to leave wisely.

"...Come in." A slightly lazy voice came from inside the room.

The man in the cloak pushed open the door, stepped in and closed the door with his backhand. When he saw the person leaning on the couch in the room, he half-knelt down: "My subordinates see the leader."

"Well, get up and talk." The man called the leader finally set his sights on him.This man is not young, he looks about 30 years old at a glance, handsome, but the gloom between his brows adds to this man's coldness that makes it hard to get close to him.

"The subordinates sent a letter back, saying that they found traces of the person holding the key on the floating lotus wall. They originally wanted to strike first, but they were detected by their fellow travelers, so they gave up. However, they caught a person who was traveling with them Ladies, you have now led them into the forest."

As soon as he heard the word "key", the man's eyes lit up, and he showed a dark smile: "I really didn't expect that the person with the key would take the initiative to send it to the door. You go to check again tonight, and it's best to test their ability. .” After speaking, he closed his eyes and regained his composure.

"There is something else to say."

Hearing the order of the leader, the man in the cloak said again in a deep voice: "The congregants who came in and lay down in various states and counties have heard that there seems to be a mysterious person who is active in the states and counties, trying to get close to the generals and soldiers stationed in the state, and even It's a member of the government."

"...Oh?" The man seemed a little surprised, "Is Zhou Pei losing his temper?"

After a long while, he tapped on the table again, and sneered: "No, the one surnamed Zhou isn't so courageous yet, and now he's huddled in the capital without moving by the emperor, who is that..."

He was talking to himself, but no one answered, but the leader's index finger was still beating on the table very rhythmically, once and for all, making people feel cold in this silence.

Another night fell, and the village was as lively as ever, but the topic became very fast, and this being brought up to the topic of the uncles and aunts, it naturally made it easier for the two little girls to disappear without a trace.

After being comforted by everyone for a long time, Lian'er's mother finally calmed down and was sitting alone in her daughter's room in a daze.

In fact, Su Tianyi and the others felt somewhat guilty. After all, the little girl's disappearance might have something to do with them, so they didn't stand on the sidelines. Leader Su even made a dinner for the aunt himself.

After inquiring about the situation in the village with those village gatemen at the gate, the three of them went back to their respective rooms and prepared to rest. Luo Xingyun had just strolled back to the house, sighed lightly, sat down on the bed carelessly, stretched out his hand and pressed The picture of two snakes behind him.

What does the fake scholar mean today?

But before he could figure out what was going on, the door was pushed very unceremoniously, and the visitor didn't even bother to knock on the door, without the slightest bit of taboo.

"Hey, why didn't you knock on the door?" Seeing the smile on the visitor's face, Luo Xingyun couldn't help thinking that it would be nice if this guy was as polite as last night.

"Anyway, in the middle of the night, what shameful thing is Ah Yun doing? It doesn't matter whether we know each other so well." Li Wanshu walked in step by step, with a scholarly tone and politeness, as if He had never done anything like open the door roughly before, and he had a pillow in his hand.

Luo Xingyun glanced at Li Wanshu, narrowed his eyes slightly, and set his eyes on the pillow in the latter's hand, the corner of his mouth twitched, and his tone was bad: "What are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to be a bodyguard. Ayun, don't you think what I said in the woods this morning was a joke?" Li Wanshu blinked his eyes, his face was taken for granted.

"...I think you are a big joke." Luo Xingyun sneered without hesitation, and then slowly lay down on the bed, heaving a sigh of relief, as if he was not lying on a farm mat, but It was the warm quilt and soft brocade in the inn, and this guy pursed his lips lazily, trying to hide his discomfort, "Hey, I said you...don't have to stay here, cough, the left and right of your room Nearby, you can hear everything."

When Li Wanshu heard the words, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he immediately shouted: "Look at the dart!"

Then the guy suddenly threw the pillow in his hand as a weapon.

Luo Xingyun naturally lowered his vigilance just because he was there, but now he was wondering where the dart came from, when he saw a pillow flying towards him from the corner of his eye, he stretched out and slapped the pillow away subconsciously.

However, after he moved the unsightly pillow aside, the book Li Wanshu, which was still standing a few steps away, was already in front of him at some point, and he stretched out his hands, not knowing what to do.

Luo Xingyun raised his eyebrows, not to mention other tricks for the time being, he would not let things like sneak attacks and fights happen, and then the man saw the opponent's movements, subconsciously went back to protect one side, and punched the other side.

However, Li Wanshu on the other end didn't intend to follow the routine at all, and went straight up to him, and after being punched, he stretched out his hand to hold his arm, and pressed him on the bed with all his strength. The bed board suddenly made a teeth-stinging 'creak' sound, but unfortunately no one paid attention to it, the two adults on it were having a good time.

Luo Xingyun was a little surprised, frowned and struggled with a low shout: "...Hey!"

But the next moment he was tapped.

"Ayun, you'd better stay still. People who are too stubborn will have no good fruit to eat." Li Wanshu said with a smile on his face, but then the wicked hypocrite thought about it again, and stroked the person on the bed very smoothly. With a frown, "You said we have been going around for so long, how about..."

Luo Xingyun felt that he was going to be laughed at by this anger, so he raised his eyebrows and stared at the hypocrite who suddenly had the guts to say slowly: "Why not?"

"Why don't you follow me tonight..."

"Follow you? You see, my uncle slept with you for a meal, although you have a little money... but you are a man with important responsibilities, and you can't follow me to travel around the mountains and rivers as I want, and you have to I tie my life to the waistband of my trousers every day, what do you think is good for you?" Luo Xingyun is obviously restrained, but the words in his mouth seem to be more comfortable than the one who is pressing on him. Coupled with a pair of light-colored eyes full of cunning, and the corners of his mouth wantonly raised, it seems that he is not being suppressed but is molesting a little girl in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion.

"Indeed...it's nothing good." Li Wanshuzheng paused for a moment, then said in a groaning tone, feeling like a half-grown child at a loss.

Luo Xingyun opened his eyes below, he could see clearly, the eyes of the man who was always calm had already turned red quietly.

His heart softened suddenly.

He just said it casually, although...every sentence he said speaks the truth.

"...What kind of revenge is there for you? There is no end to this kind of thing. There are thousands of roads in the world. Why do you say you chose this one?" Luo Xingyun lowered his eyes and said softly, "You also Don’t worry about everything by yourself. The human heart is made of flesh. How much can one person bear? If it’s crushed, nothing will be left. All the previous vows will become bullshit. If there are people around you, don’t be blind when you feel tired Be brave, find a shoulder you can trust to lean on, um...I can also lend you my uncle..."

"...Ayun."

Luo Xingyun's breathing stagnated, and he stopped his nagging, just because Li Wanshu suddenly brought his head closer, the two breathed together, and the tip of their noses touched lightly.

"You said you could lend me your shoulders...then can you rely on me for a lifetime?" The man grabbed his shoulders a little harder, trembling slightly as if he was restraining something, his low and gentle voice contained a trace of The imperceptible choked sobs can be heard very clearly in a quiet room.

forever...

That was a word that Luo Xingyun never dared to think of before.

He knows his pissing nature, so he can't just make a promise for a lifetime, it's all a lie, and he's afraid that he won't be able to do it.

So even though the man in front of him had let go of all his defenses, he still didn't dare to say a word.

Li Wanshu waited in the silence for a while, then suddenly laughed a few times, murmured so that no one could hear the sadness and joy: "...I am too greedy, there is something in this world that does not belong to me that can be borrowed." For a lifetime?"

Luo Xingyun's heart was suddenly empty, and there were bursts of strange dull pain, which made him almost out of breath, but unfortunately he only pressed his lips hard in the end, and couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, But at the next moment, he felt something warm and soft lightly imprinted on his forehead.

When he opened his eyes, the person crouching on him was already obediently lying beside him, the candle had already been extinguished, and the warmth beside him remained undiminished, everything just now was like a dream come true.

In the middle of the night, after hearing the peaceful breathing of the person beside him, Li Wanshu couldn't help stretching out his hand to approach Luo Xingyun's hand beside him, but hesitantly touched that hand. However, the hand trembled slightly and retracted the five fingers, clenched into a fist until the fingers poked into the flesh of the palm, causing a little pain.
