Before Jiang Botao arrived, Zhou Zekai inexplicably recalled one thing.

That day, he and Ye Xiu hugged each other in the quilt, the quilt was hot, the air was cold, the tip of his nose was cold from the cold, Ye Xiu lay on his body and smoked, a white mist like fairy spirit bypassed Him, spray it on the pillow.He rubbed his nose, then rubbed Ye Xiu's nose, Ye Xiu was pinched by him and laughed, and chatted with him after laughing, about things he had to say with King Zhong Baozang, and things he had to say with Tao Xuan Two or three things, as well as the punishment that a former tomb robber like him who swore to himself would suffer after breaking his oath.

"Why didn't you say it before?" Zhou Zekai asked.

"You didn't ask, I took the initiative to tell you because you are good-looking."

Hey, I'm still blaming you.

Zhou Zekai's hand touched Ye Xiu's back and forth. Ye Xiu's body was warm, tender, and smooth. He kissed the corner of Ye Xiu's mouth, showing surprise on his face when he heard the story, but he was quietly following him in his heart. He swears to himself that even if there are difficulties in the future, he will never let anyone or his father touch Ye Xiu again, not only because he is afraid that Ye Xiu will be punished for breaking his oath, but also because of his self-esteem. I don't think so. It's too outrageous to rely on you to get money to find a way.

At that time, how could he have imagined that these two things would come true one after the other.

Jiang Botao came to see Zhou Zekai under the guise of a lobbyist. In order to guard against Zhou Zekai, even he was not entrusted with the important task of the front line.

The commander-in-chief convicted Zhou Zekai of treason. This name is too eloquent. It can make you rebel, but it can also prevent you from rebelling.Jiang Botao originally thought that the commander-in-chief used this as a threat to force Zhou Zekai to submit. Later, he got word that Zhou Zekai was impeached by the commander-in-chief's close relatives one after another, saying that he spent military expenses to train private soldiers to repair the railway because he had two intentions. He couldn't wait and wanted to remonstrate , take over early.The purpose of Jiang Botao's visit was to let Zhou Zekai know his real situation. In addition, he had to ask Zhou Zekai about his plan, so that he could decide his own plan.

Zhou Zekai's spiritual head was much calmer than Jiang Botao imagined. From his face, one could not see the depression or passive indulgence of ordinary people after a series of mental blows.

This is how he understood Zhou Zekai.And he didn't have the chance to see the side he didn't understand.Zhou Zekai was indeed extremely disappointed and even hesitant and painful. His father led the family on a wrong path and self-destructed the Great Wall. He watched with his eyes open, powerless, and had no choice.

He knew what Jiang Botao said beforehand.The marshal came to see him the day before yesterday, and he issued an ultimatum for the last time, and he tried his best to dissuade him for the last time, but they still couldn't reach an agreement, and broke up unhappy.Both father and son knew that disappointment was two-way. The Marshal lost his remaining patience with him, and he no longer had illusions about him. To the liquidation letter in the newspaper.

It's just that Zhou Zekai's disposition is different from ordinary people, he doesn't linger too much on things he can't grasp, and cheers up faster.He accepted it, figured it out, and the pain was slowly drained away in the solitude of confinement, leaving only a pond of water without wind or waves.The only thing that can stir it up is Ye Xiu who is far away in the sky.

Thinking of Ye Xiu, Zhou Zekai felt a flood of longing, unable to resist, wishing he could fly over with a pair of wings.

"Keep the green hills here..." Jiang Botao was still trying to persuade Zhou Zekai to be patient as a bricklayer.

In front of Jiang Botao, Zhou Zekai did not hide anything. He also knew that there were people who followed him and were waiting for him to speak out. He had to give an explanation. His explanation was simple and cruel.

"In the future, I want you to perform my filial piety on my behalf."

Jiang Botao stopped talking, shut his mouth abruptly, and sighed for a long time before he let out a sigh, "I see, where are you going?"

"Where is Ye Xiu, where am I going?" Zhou Zekai didn't say directly, it was not for Jiang Botao's defense, but for his own good. The less Jiang Botao knew, the better.

He wasn't worried about what Jiang Botao would think of him either. Zhou Zekai, who had to explain everything to others, had unknowingly died bit by bit in the past.Ye Xiu was not his consolation after losing everything, on the contrary, Ye Xiu was his active choice, and he knew in his heart that this was enough.

Before leaving, Ye Xiu received a telegram from Yu Wenzhou, asking him if he would come to Guangzhou again. If he didn't come, he would join the revolution and there was no time to entertain him.

Ye Xiu goes back, don't go, don't forget to pay back the money before you die, I want to support my family.

Yu Wenzhou replied, the money has been donated to our great cause, and I bought the shares on your behalf, waiting for dividends.

Ye Xiu didn't bother to go back. He could only digest it by himself when he met someone who was not nice. It would be enough to make people feel distressed if he owed the money or not, so save the telegram fee.

His destination was the Taihang Mountains. Guo Mingyu sent the Buddha to the west, and he was so worried to the end that he insisted on going with him. Ye Xiu also knew that this trip was no small matter, so it would be nice to have someone to take care of him.The two packed up a little and hit the road.

Back then, in order to guard the treasure of the loyal king, Tao Xuan led a group of tomb robbers and set up their lair in Feihu Valley in Taihang Mountains.A few years ago, Ye Xiu washed his hands in a golden basin, had a falling out with everyone, and walked out of here with a shake of his sleeves.This time when he revisited his old place, he didn't take care of admiring the old scenery. The old people had already got the news, and all their nests were dispatched, waiting for him in front of the mountain gate.

Who is Ye Xiu?What was the surprise?At that moment, he greeted everyone who looked at him with different faces, calling each other by their nicknames, talking about the one who was fat and the one who was thin.

To talk about the difference between him and Tao Xuan, it was nothing more than a word of wealth, and many brothers would break up in front of this word, let alone brothers.Tao Xuan slept on a huge golden mountain day and night, but because of Ye Xiu's "unresponsiveness", he was unable to take action, and took the golden mountain as his own. One can imagine the resentment towards Ye Xiu, and it went straight to Jiuli.

After Ye Xiu left, he didn't stay idle, exploring the location of the tomb where the treasure was hidden every day, but he still couldn't figure it out, and wasted a lot of time.

Seeing Ye Xiu like this, Tao Xuan has the heart to eat his flesh and blood, and because of his status as the leading brother, it is not good to be too stingy in front of the guys. Fortunately, he still has a deputy, Liu Hao, Stop all the dirty work empathetically.

"Ye Xiu, you traitor, what are you doing back here!" Liu Hao took a step forward from the crowd, staring fiercely, and made trouble for himself and Tao Xuan.

"I'm coming back to get something." Ye Xiu said, still looking around, as if the thing he wanted to get was right in front of him.

"Let's not do this! When you betrayed everyone, you settled our money and food, what else is yours here!" Liu Hao's voice was as sharp as a spear.

There are steep cliffs on both sides of Feihu Valley, and a dirt road up the mountain is sandwiched between them. It is long and winding, with steep turns and straight, extending without end.The mountain is still the withered scene of winter, the pines and cypresses are frozen into dark green, and the stars are falling on the snow and earth.The Pirates Temple rests on a protruding open space on a high place, with its back facing the flying cliff. It seems that it has just been repaired. The maroon paint is bright and bright, which is particularly conspicuous, like a huge yellow and white jade plate with a few teardrops embedded on it. blood Qin.

Liu Hao repeated his sharp and harsh questioning again.

Ye Xiu withdrew his far-sighted gaze and thought, the ground is a bit cold, he should sew an extra layer of cloth on his knees and stuff some cotton in, what a mistake.He said with a smile to Tao Xuan, who was in charge, "I'm here from the tomb of Duke Zhongxiang. It's convenient, old Tao. I can provide some tools or something."

As a result, Liu Hao's words didn't hold enough weight, but he was so anxious to be surprised from the inside out that he forgot to add another big crime of looking down on Ye Xiu to Ye Xiu.

Tao Xuan paced in front of Liu Hao, with one corner of his mouth curled up and the other flat, and the words came out of his teeth, "Hehe, it's convenient... What are you going to do? What are you looking for from the tomb?"

Ye Xiu replied, "I won't tell you."

Tao Xuan shivered with anger, "...Ye Xiu, you must not have forgotten, what kind of oath did you make in front of the Thief Lord back then!?"

Ye Xiu slowly took off his hat, scarf, and coat, and used Guo Mingyu as a hanger, hanging them on him one by one.At this time, Guo Mingyu didn't bother with him anymore.

"How can I forget this, I am going to go up the mountain now, and talk to the old man, please forgive me."

The lingering sound of Ye Xiu's words echoed in the empty valley like fine dust, scattered, and before it was completely settled, there was a bigger movement, the sound of breathing from south to north, and whispers one after another.

"Ye... Is what Xiu said true? He wants to break his oath!"

"He doesn't want to die!!"

"The person who breaks the oath has to kneel all the way to the Temple of the Thief, and roll the nailboard in front of the Lord of Thieves, and let the Lord of Thieves rule life and death!"

……

Ye Xiu was generous, he admitted that he wanted to break the promise, and was willing to accept the "God's Punishment". Instead, he took Tao Xuan into the army. Tao Xuan couldn't make up his mind, and even his eyes were hesitant. Yes, what is the purpose of this thief boy to risk his life?What are your plans?Should I let it go or not?

He stared at Ye Xiu, as if he could see through this man's mind after staring at him for a long time.

Ye Xiu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, smiled innocently, and was so open-minded.

In the end, Tao Xuan loosened his grip. He was already full of grievances, so why not take advantage of the rules to correct Ye Xiu and let him vent his anger.He shrugged his cheekbones coldly, "Okay, you're good enough, I'll see what you can come up with."

Tao Xuan moved his shoulders horizontally and moved his feet back. He turned around abruptly, changing from standing front to side, as if he didn't bother to give way.Seeing this, everyone hurriedly took the lead, followed dumbly with many feet and many voices discussing, divided into two groups, formed two human walls, and made a way for only one person to pass through.

A few people got the direction from Liu Hao's eyes and ran up the mountain, making preparations for the Thief Temple first.

Ye Xiu's smile fell, and he took three steps forward, the snow as soft as fine sand creaked under his feet.At the end of the mountain road, cold birds swooped down and wrapped themselves around the green branches.After walking in three steps, Ye Xiu bent his knees, knelt down with a weight of [-] tons, raised his hands high, fell down, bowed in the direction of Pirates Saint Temple, and knocked his head respectfully on the snow and the ground.

Guo Mingyu stood at the back, acting as the last human wall.He took off Ye Xiu's clothes and hugged them in his arms, which was easy to carry.Together with the people who were still standing in front of the mountain gate, he followed Ye Xiu with his eyes, chasing Ye Xiu into a small black spot.He wanted to follow, but the rules prevented him, so he had no choice but to wait where he was.

Not long after walking, Ye Xiu's knees turned white, covered with snow, forming two hard carapaces.But between his eyebrows, a small piece of flesh was red again, the skin was torn, bleeding beads, like cinnabar spots on it.
