Micro Herbs

The candles in the room were dimly lit, and Yan Yilan sat alone leaning against the wall, frowning slightly, as if she was quite worried.

At the same time, a series of footsteps came from far to near in the dark night outside the house, followed by a moderate knock on the door, and Xu Hui, the current second steward of the Yan League, asked: " Is the young master asleep?"

"Not yet." Xu Hui was originally not a member of the Yan League, but because he had saved Yan Yilan's life more than ten years ago, he was invited by the two elders of the Yan family to join the League as a steward, and he has never left for so many years. .Yan Yilan respected him very much, so when she heard the voice, she hurriedly got up and opened the door, "Uncle Xu?"

"I saw that you didn't eat much at dinner, so I made a bowl of soup cakes and brought them over. Eat them while they're hot." Xu Hui is getting older, and his temples have already turned white, but the eyes he looks at Yan Yilan are still the same. So clear and kind when we first met.

"Excuse me, Uncle Xu. You sit down." Taking the tray, Yan Yilan forcefully smiled and welcomed him into the room to give up his seat, but his appearance did not hide the truth from Xu Hui who had watched him grow up.

"But it's rare to see you, young master, with such a preoccupied appearance. Did you quarrel with Master Biao?" Twirling his beard, Xu Hui didn't seem surprised by this, nor was he in a hurry to speak out, but just pointed to the reason as an introduction.

"No." Sighing lightly, Yan Yilan obviously didn't have the appetite for noodles, but she was only following the elder's kind guidance, and didn't choose to whitewash the peace to hide it.Since his parents and elder brother passed away one after another, he cherished his few relatives more and more, and Xu Huiyu was one of them.

"My cousin wants to lead the crowd to encircle and suppress the Valley of the Wicked, but I don't agree."

"...Young master, would you like to tell me why?" Xu Hui was obviously quite surprised by this answer.

"Now that the matter has not been clarified, it would be too much to lead the crowd to encircle and suppress." Shaking her head, Yan Yilan's voice was very soft, but her tone was firm.For him, every life is precious, whether it is a good person or a wicked person, he cannot agree with and cannot do anything about killing such a thing before the truth is known.

"I know the young master is kind-hearted, but the young master must not forget that the eldest master was killed by Gu Lie at the beginning. Yanmeng did not take revenge because the two parties signed a life and death certificate, and it is not easy to pursue it even for the sake of reputation, but now he To poison you again, if it were not for Mr. Bai's skillful hand, the Yan family would have no successors. This enmity must be avenged."

In this regard, Xu Hui obviously agrees with Zhong Liyan's thoughts.

Although he and the Yan family brothers are not blood relatives, they have been together for many years and have already regarded them as his descendants. After Yan Yiran's death, he disapproved of the Yan League's approach of calming down and making peace with others. This kind of poisoning makes people crazy, no matter what they say, they don't want to let go of Gu Lie and others easily.

"What's more, the Valley of the Wicked is full of people with bloody hands, and Gu Lie is the owner of the valley chosen by themselves, and his words and deeds are all tacitly approved by him, so it is not wrong to die together."

"Uncle Xu... Actually, the poisoning this time reminded me of something." Looking at the old man's righteous indignation, Yan Yilan finally said what he suspected before, "I suspect that there is something strange about the death of the elder brother."

As soon as this remark came out, the old man's expression suddenly became serious: "What?! What did the young master find?"

"It's just a little clue that needs to be verified for the time being. If we really encircle and suppress the Valley of the Wicked, I'm afraid the clues will be gone." Although she was facing the elder she respected quite a bit, Yan Yilan didn't make her words too clear, after all It's too early to say anything until the truth is found out.

"Then, did the young master tell Master Biao about this?" Yan Yilan didn't want to go into details, so Xu Hui didn't ask any further, but instead brought up Zhong Liyan.

"Not yet." Shaking her head slightly, Yan Yilan really didn't want to let Zhong Liyan be provoked again after many years.After all, it took everyone a lot of time to get out of the emotion of his elder brother's death, especially his cousin. Before there was any definite evidence, he didn't want to cause trouble, "Brother's death and injury to my cousin was too deep. I don’t want to make him sad again until I find the real evidence.”

"It's a good move to avoid spreading rumors." After thinking for a while, Xu Hui nodded and agreed with Yan Yilan's approach, and then offered a compromise, "In my opinion, the young master If you don't want to indiscriminately kill evil, then you can send a battle invitation, and Gu Lie will fight alone. In this way, maybe the original clues can be drawn."

And this proposal is obviously the most suitable and most satisfying method at present.

"...That's all I can do. I'll go to my cousin to discuss the next post."

*****************************************

It has been ten days since Yan Yilan sent someone to send people day and night to the Evil Man's Valley for the battle post in Chang'an.

The battle post was written quite politely, and it didn't make Gu Lie and the pigs and dogs scolded by everyone in Evilren Valley as inferior to their ancestors because of the previous poisoning. Arriving at the foot of Kunlun Mountain near Chang'an, the time was the [-]th of that month, which happened to be the fifth day after Gu Lie got the battle invitation.

"Is this the battle post?" Feng Qi waved the post that was sprinkled with golden paper, smiling a bit foolishly.He used to be not afraid of big troubles, but now he looks more energetic when he sees the war post, "Boss, you fought with his brother a few years ago, and his brother died. Here we go again. If this kills him again, after the Yan family is extinct, Yanmeng will really have to look for you desperately."

"I'm not afraid of anyone who will work hard, but I'm not interested in letting people reap the benefits." Shaking the flagon in his hand, Gu Lie didn't seem anxious about it.He was just waiting for Cui Zixu to fan the flames and show off his feet so that he could catch people. He was a little anxious if he couldn't come out after hiding for so long, but now it's not the right time.

"I think that person heard something and couldn't sit still." His eyebrows were slightly frowned, although Bai Ji's attitude towards this matter was not urgent, but he was not as indifferent as Gu Liefengqi.The battle post was originally not in the plan of the previous discussion, but now it is going to go to Su Weiyun's place again, "I will go out of the valley, Xiao Ba, you stay."

"Brother, this matter..." Su Zichen's eyes dimmed, and he hesitated to speak.

He was originally a soft-hearted and simple person, but he learned the news of the death of the only remaining blood relative overnight. He wanted to take revenge but was afraid of hurting other relatives and friends, so these days he has been in conflicting emotions .Now that I see the battle posts outside the plan, I really have to think a little more.

"Don't worry, although things have changed, neither Yilan nor Zhong Liyan are impulsive and brainless people. If you think about it, there must be a deep meaning in this move. There are still five days until the date of the battle on the post, so you can stay with Gu at ease The Lord is waiting, and I will talk about the rest when I come back." Patting Su Zichen's shoulder lightly to show comfort, Bai Ji understood his worry, but now the matter is so close that he has no choice but to respond unchanged. Everything has changed.

"Brother, be careful on the road."

******************************************

Although it is already spring, there is still a cold wind at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. There was even a heavy snowfall in the early morning, and the surrounding scenery was covered with silver.It was in such weather that Yan Yilan and Gu Lie each led their own people to gather under the snow-capped Kunlun Mountains all year round to go to the promise of life and death.

Because the time for the appointment was too urgent, there were only a few dozen people who came with Yan Yilan, and there were more than [-] people who came here spontaneously after hearing the news.As for Gu Lie, there are even fewer, including himself, there are only five in total.Although everyone is a master with a fishy aura, this time it is not a crowd to encircle and suppress, but no matter how you look at the number of people in this slap, it seems a bit contemptuous and provocative.

Regarding this, Yan Yilan didn't seem to notice it, and just waited for the two parties to arrive, and pointed at Gu Lie with a sword.The words were full of hatred, but the free and easy and pure wanton appearance of the past was no longer there.

"Gu Lie, when you killed my eldest brother, I, the Yan family, signed a life and death certificate on both sides and never pursued it. Now you have not changed your mind and used the opportunity of martial arts to poison people secretly. Such behavior is really disgusting. Disdainful. My righteous people don’t bother to learn from you to do the thing of secretly encircling and suppressing people, and today I will fight with you here to settle the grievances between my Yan family and you!”

"You little baby, it's better not to talk big and go home as soon as possible." With a provocative chuckle, it was the lazy-looking swordsman Feng Qi who answered his words.The one-eyed man who usually smiles like a crescent moon is so disgusting that people want to gouge it out immediately, so that he really becomes blind.

"A few years ago, your elder brother was defeated by the sword of our Gu Lord and lost his life. If you are like him today, wouldn't it be necessary for my Evil Man Valley to receive the descendants of your Yan family who came to seek revenge every day?"

"Shut up! Don't think that you can delay the time to change anything by fighting for a moment. Today, I, Yan Yilan and Gu Lie, will never die! Let's take the trick!" With a pull of Jianhua, Yan Yilan flew away before she could finish her sentence And when he attacked Gu Lie, the fierce look on his face had a hint of madness for some reason, and in a trance, it made people feel very much like Yan Yiran when he fought Gu Lie back then.

Obviously, Zhong Liyan, who was watching the battle, was not the only one who felt this way.

'Brother, Yilan's expression is wrong. '

Frowning slightly, Su Zichen felt a little uneasy watching Yan Yilan who was flying towards Gu Lie, so he raised his hand to touch the bletilla striata next to him, and made a series of gestures.Before the crowd gathered, they had already hidden behind a certain rock wall not far from Gu Lie with the turtle's breathing technique, and that angle was just right to see the strangeness in Yan Yilan's expression clearly.

"Be safe and don't be impatient, you and I will wait and see what happens, the owner of the valley should have a sense of proportion." '

He nodded and patted Su Zichen's shoulder to comfort him, and Bai Ji returned a series of hand gestures.

He has never slackened in practicing the Qingxin Jue recently, and after entering the third stage, he found that his five senses were terribly sensitive.As long as he is willing, he can hear the sound of dewdrops falling on the leaves a foot away from the house, and even the originally extremely fast movements in his eyes become clear and slow in his eyes, even Feng Qi is so fast. Only Dao Ying's moves are left.That is to say, even though the reaction of his limbs can't keep up with his five senses for the time being, as long as he has the mind and is willing to work hard, he can learn any set of moves that have crossed the road in front of his eyes in today's martial arts.What's more, broke that set of moves.

This was a crime of conceived jade, so he didn't mention it to anyone, and he was very careful not to show any flaws on weekdays, but this did not prevent him from concentrating on watching the contest between Gu Lie and Yan Yilan at this moment .

And, the look of every righteous person present.

The author has something to say: This last scene of leading the snake out of the hole finally gave me the opening. Thinking about it is also a bitter TVT

After writing the main text of this big drama, it is basically over, oh yeah~ There are still a few chapters to work hard~ Come and congratulate me~~~(^o^)/

PS: That's right, Ling Xiaojiu gave Bai Xiaoliu the Qingxin Jue to practice, in addition to being good for his health, it was also for Brother Kehua to prevent Bai Weiwei from rebelling without conscience after he became a master.Student Ling Xiaojiu has always kept a lot of backhands when doing things, and it's the same this time, so Bai Xiaoliu will become more and more powerful, Brother Hua, you have to tighten your skin, otherwise your wife will be awesome After being forced, it will kill you.
