The night was already deep.

The night was quiet and quiet, just when everything was still and everyone fell asleep, but there were unusual noises from several places in Yuncheng.In the dead of night, before people knew it, there was already a noise in the courtyard, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The Gu family was also attacked by rogues.

Unlike the last time when the soldiers forcibly asked for money, the bandits who came this time broke in directly when everyone was unprepared in the middle of the night. Looting, if found to kill directly and leave.Although the major families had guards, they couldn't help being caught off guard, watching the court bleeding and losing all their belongings.

The Gu family is an exception.

Right now, the Gu family was facing the bandits who rushed through the door and rushed towards the treasury. The three major sword masters sitting in the Gu family raised their swords and shot them, following Gu Huaiyu's previous instructions, and killed these people as soon as they entered.Outside the range of the Great Sword Master's attack, any rogues who tried to sneak into Gu's house were directly killed by the archers hiding behind the wall of Gu's house.

This group of rogues encountered unprecedented resistance at the Gu family, and were killed in pieces.

Looking at the dozen or so rogues who were walking at the end, seeing the situation was not good, they immediately wanted to escape, Gu Huaiyu raised his hand behind the wall, and a row of guards with bows and arrows also appeared on the opposite wall, and the way out was completely blocked , the rogues were all trapped in this trap that had been laid long ago.The rogues usually do evil and are extremely courageous, and at this moment of life and death, they can't help but feel extremely panic. Seeing that the overall situation has been settled, the young man standing behind the wall twitched a faint sneer: "Kill!"

A row of bows and arrows were shot, and the dozen or so rogues fell to the ground one after another, blood staining the bluestone floor tiles of Gu's house.

Dozens of tyrannical, strong and strong bandits were scattered on the ground. They have killed countless people in their arrogant lives. They did not expect to die in such a seemingly completely "safe" mission. Several vehicles that came to drag the belongings also overturned on the ground.

For a while, the ground of Gu's house was full of corpses.

A great swordsman jumped up to Gu Huaiyu with the only remaining active mouth among the rogues. Before Gu Huaiyu could press him to ask anything, the leader of the rogues in front of him gritted his teeth and broke the poison hidden in his mouth. Died from poison, such a quick and straightforward approach to death made Gu Huaiyu slightly startled and felt a chill in his heart.

At this time, Xue Jia, who was standing behind the wall, had come out with Gu Huaiyu. The soldiers who came to Gu's mansion last time were not in a big battle, and he was sleepy that day and went to bed early. This was the first time he saw such a situation.Turning his head to look at Gu Huaiyu, seeing Gu Huaiyu's face was cold, he didn't react much, bit his lip slightly, and didn't show anything.

Gu Huaiyu, on the other hand, kept watching Xue Jia's reaction, seeing that he looked at the pile of corpses on the ground with an ugly face, reached out and took Xue Jia's hand, and said in a low voice: "Jia'er, otherwise you should go back first, here I am Just deal with it."

Xue Jia looked at him, shook her head slightly, and said nothing.

Gu Huaiyu saw that his attitude was firm, so he didn't say anything, but held Xue Jia's hand tightly.

Gu Huaiyuan, who was standing aside, frowned, walked forward, looked at the corpse in the hands of the great swordsman, and said in a solemn tone, "I never thought that the defense of Yuncheng would be so festered after Prince Rui left, the city gates would be closed. It fell and was beaten in by these people."

Among the three great sword masters, the middle-aged sword master surnamed Duan, who is the strongest and most respected, shook his head: "I don't think these people broke through the city gate at night and came in."

Gu Huaiyuan was surprised: "How do you say that?"

Sword Master Duan put his sword back into the scabbard, straightened his sleeves and said slowly: "If they break through the city gate first and then enter Yuncheng, they will definitely alarm many people, and their purpose is obviously to seek money, not to kill people and make trouble. Throwing things that scare the snakes is not good for them. It is better to sneak into Yuncheng in batches, bury them in Yuncheng first, and attack the mansion directly when the appointed time comes. It is best not to disturb the mansion. It was found that when the government was caught off guard and they had the upper hand, they could still advance or retreat."

Gu Huaiyuan frowned and said, "So they still have a foothold in the city?"

Sword Master Duan slowly analyzed: "I'm afraid it's more than that. Seeing how they acted so neatly, I'm afraid they have already discovered the layout of the mansion."

Gu Huaiyuan's face became even uglier when he heard this.

At this time, Yue Lang, who had been holding the sword and standing aside indifferently after the incident, rarely said: "The most important point is that these people may not necessarily be real rogues."

Gu Huaiyu was prepared for the previous analysis because he had gone through it once, but when he heard Yuelang say that, he suddenly felt chills: "What do you mean by that?"

Yue Lang pointed at the leader's body that had been put on the ground, and said in a cold voice, "Let's not talk about whether these people are too brave to sneak into the city when the defense of Yuncheng is unstable. It’s just that these people’s organizational rigor and orderliness in action don’t look like ordinary rogues, they seem a little too well-trained. What’s more, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone caught The leader of the bandits will take poison and kill himself."

Where is this rogue?It's clearly the style of a dead man!

Everyone present obviously didn't think of this before, and now they were pointed out by Yuelang, and they couldn't help but feel a little chill in their hearts.Who is it?Command a group of dead soldiers to pretend to be bandits, and take advantage of the different situation in Yuncheng to decisively start looting?

Gu Huaiyu suddenly remembered the letter intercepted in front of Lianfu's gate, and a suspicion surfaced in his heart - if his speculation was true, and he could find the real evidence to pass on to son Xiao, maybe Xiao Yuwen's downfall would be just around the corner!

Thinking of this, Gu Huaiyu's heart suddenly became eager, and directed the servants of Gu's mansion to search these corpses carefully, and worked hard for most of the night.Gu Huaiyuan left the matter to him and went back to the courtyard, while Yin Jingyi was still waiting in the courtyard.But Xue Jia refused to listen to him and went to sleep first, and Han Tian stayed with him all the time.

In the end, of course, nothing was found.

Although Gu Huaiyu had long expected that this matter would be done rigorously, and it was impossible to leave anything to touch Xiao Yuwen, but he couldn't help being a little disappointed.

Xue Jia leaned close to Gu Huaiyu, stood under the cold sky and looked at him quietly, his eyes were gentle but firm: "Huaiyu, since we have been prepared for a long time, as long as we wait patiently, we will be able to kill with one blow in the future."

Gu Huaiyu smiled slightly, but he didn't talk about this matter any more. He just reached out and stroked Xue Jia's fur collar, and held Xue Jia's hand in his arms: "It's cold in winter and night, and it's so cold right now. Very well, it’s fine if you don’t go back, and don’t wear more, your hands are icy cold.”

Gu Huaiyu's words were full of warmth and cherishment, Xue Jia felt like warm water was slowly soaking in his heart, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes: "Then let's go back first."

Gu Huaiyu nodded, but did not leave directly.After sending all the servants away, he stood under the hall, stretched out his hand and hugged Xue Jia in front of him, rubbed him in his arms, relaxed with his back to Xue Jia, sighed long, and breathed out in the cold air. A cloud of cold air: "Fortunately, you are still here."

Late at night in the cold winter, in front of the lonely hall, there was no sound.

Yuncheng, Lianfu.

Standing at the entrance of the spacious lobby, looking forward, the few pear trees at the entrance have only branches left, bare, and the cold winter wind blows in the face, such a desolate scenery has a special meaning.

The delicate and delicate young man in brocade robe turned his head to look intently, opened the curtain and entered the lobby.

A middle-aged man with a serious face sat on the seat in the middle of the lobby. He nodded slightly as he watched the boy come in, and beckoned to him: "Sit down."

After the boy sat down, the man said gracefully, "You know everything about the city, right?"

Lian Caiyu nodded, her eyes were slightly distracted, and her eyes drifted a little far away.

I remember that in the winter of last year, Huaiyu was a guest in Lianfu, and saw the pear trees falling apart in front of their Lianjia lobby, and he was smiling while holding his arm, saying that it would be very unique if all the flowers and leaves had fallen. The dryness and coldness are just a kind of scenery with special meaning, which can only be tasted if you savor them carefully.

What did he say then?

Lian Jinghai didn't see Lian Caiyu's distraction, and said to himself: "Recently Prince Rui led troops out of the city, although the troops were dispatched quickly, it seemed that the outcome was uncertain. But you have to remember, no matter who sits on the top, seat, the Xiao family will not collapse for a day with Empress Dowager Xiao."

Oh, by the way, he joked at that time that if one day his family fell into ruin, he would chop up these landscapes and use them as firewood to burn.Then what did Huaiyu say?

Lian Jinghai continued: "The City Lord Xiao's city mansion is not comparable to ordinary people. Even though the City Lord's mansion was burned, the Xiao family in Yuncheng was still not injured, even if it was not injured at all. Once the rebels left, City Lord Xiao will be able to summon the eight chief officers immediately, and from this person, we can see how far the Xiao family can go in Yuncheng in the future."

He thought that Huaiyu would laugh at his naivety, saying that no matter how bad the family was, they would not cut down the tree in front of the door for firewood.But I didn't expect that the boy still had a smile on his face back then, and said to him with bright eyes, don't worry, no matter how the world changes, as long as I have a bite to eat, you will never be hungry.

At that moment, staring into the young man's eyes, he knew that what the young man said was true: the world is different, and people's hearts are changeable, but I will ride through the wind and rain with you and never leave.

The young man's oath is still in his ears, but people's hearts change so quickly.

Lian Jinghai finally saw Lian Caiyu's absent-mindedness, frowned and reprimanded him severely: "What are you thinking? I am teaching you how to understand the situation in this world. You should study hard and don't just do nothing. Go with your heart."

Lian Caiyu was silent for a moment, then lowered her head slightly to her father, with a silent expression: "Yes."

Lian Jinghai became even angrier when he saw it, he patted the armrest of the chair, and said angrily, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! If you stop thinking about it early, I won't agree with you and that brat from the Gu family. Together! Gu Zhongming is stubborn, pedantic, hypocritical, and doesn't know how to adapt. I don't think the Gu family has any development. No matter what, you have to listen to me!"

Lian Caiyu's originally tense skin slowly relaxed, her expression became much more relaxed, but the fingers placed under the table slowly began to pinch: "I know, father."

Seeing his reaction, Lian Jinghai coughed a few times, and finally nodded with some satisfaction: "Well, you just listen to me. You must know that what I ask you to do is for you and for the good of the Lian family. "

"You have to remember, no matter what you think in your heart, you must not do anything that endangers Lian's family! Otherwise, I will not recognize you as a son!"

Lian Caiyu replied respectfully, "Yes, father."

When I went out, the scenery in my eyes was no longer the same as before.

It's just some dry dead branches and leaves, and there's nothing to look at.

In fact, he had already made a choice, didn't he?When that person was about to marry another person, he made up his mind to follow his father's instructions to associate with Xiao Lie, and from now on he would have nothing to do with him.But even so, when he heard that City Lord Xiao had discussed with his father and allowed him to keep in touch with that person, he was secretly delighted.It's just that as time goes by, he gradually understands that the unthinkable thoughts in his heart are after all extravagant hopes.

But when I saw that man again on the main street of Yuncheng, and saw his gentle and doting smile on his husband, the faint despair in my heart grew into resentment in an instant.

Didn't you say that you will only love me alone, no matter how the world changes, it will not change?Didn't you promise me that one day I would divorce that person who married me?It is obviously such a deep and focused feeling that shakes my determination time and time again, but why did it suddenly change?

Do you know how cruel it is for me to take back after you have given me such deep affection?Do you know that you are really cruel?

Gu Huaiyu, why don't you love me anymore?

Why don't you love me anymore? ! ! !
