I see the snow

"Can it be done?"

Outside the city, in a deserted old house.

The deep vermilion lacquer on the gate of the house has fallen off, and the depth of the weeds in the courtyard seems to have been neglected for a long time.

However, in such a deserted house, there are three vague figures standing.

One of them was dressed in white, one had a snow harrier on his shoulder, and the other was a middle-aged man.

The Snow Harrier boy sat in the formation, with a transparent crock in front of him, filled with dozens of pythons, slowly rubbing against each other.The cold reptile blinked its vertical pupils and moved slowly from time to time.

Seeing so many boa constrictors crowded in one place suddenly, it was almost uncontrollable that one's scalp exploded, and goosebumps all over his body rose.

However, facing such a weird and bloody scene, the young man with the snow harrier on his shoulder seemed to have gotten used to it. He sat in the formation with his eyes closed, as if he was meditating or sleeping.

Suddenly, at the moment when the moonlight penetrated the dark clouds, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and the python in the transparent earthen jar also screamed, as if its body was gripped by some invisible force——

But all of that seemed futile, and in an instant, the python in the earthen jar quickly dissolved and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, there was only a puddle of blood left in the earthen jar.

"It's done?"

Seeing this, the middle-aged man opened his mouth and asked urgently: "Do all people who are poisoned by snakes enter the illusion?"

The technique seemed to have caused great harm to the young Xue Harrier. He began to bleed from the corners of his mouth, and gradually blood oozes from his nose and ears.

But when he opened his eyes, they were blank, blinked, and then returned to their docile appearance.

"Ah."

The middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief, then handed the boy a handkerchief, and took out a red pill as if rewarding him, and let the boy Xueyao take it.Happy in color:

"Shen Yan is going to be at a loss what to do now, if he loses popular support, what else does he have!?"

"You should keep an eye on that too."

As he said that, the man turned to Xi Huai, who had been silent all this time, and his expression was also indifferent, like Xi Huai who was out of his body: "We must put pressure on Shen Yan, and at the same time keep an eye on Yin Zhichuan."

He paused for a moment: "...Is there any news about the Silver Spear?"

Xi Huai said flatly, "No."

The man wanted to frown, but his expression became fierce for a moment.

But then it occurred to me that the strategy of putting pressure on Shen Yan this time was all from Xi Huai's hands; it was also Xi Huai who made the heresy in the city so realistic.

"... Hurry up!..."

He said: "You are the only one who brought Yinzhichuan back to the mansion, Xihuai, you can't let Mr. Hua down."

In terms of indifference, Xihuai treated everyone equally, not only towards Yinzhichuan, but also towards people in Shangjing.

"Don't worry about me?"

He smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Then you can also ask Hua Cishu to commit himself to the enemy, and try tactful Chenghuan for one night. You don't have to doubt me like this."

"……you!"

The man's face changed several times, obviously irritated.But he probably also knew Xi Huai's temper, so he took several deep breaths and suppressed his anger.

He put on a smiling face, even though the smile was extremely false: "Young Master Xihuai, why are you always so proud?"

"—Our purpose is clearly the same..."

But Xi Huai didn't want to delay with them any longer, if it wasn't necessary, he would feel bored seeing these people.

He just lowered his arms coldly and asked coldly, "Is there anything else?"

"I'll go back without me. The Yin Mansion is not a place where you can come out if you want, and you can go back if you want to go back."

"it is good."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Please. Xiaosi, send one to Mr. Xihuai."

The young man with a gentle and docile expression got up silently and stood behind Xi Huai.

His kung fu is really good, and it seems to be mixed with some kind of illusion.Every time he brought Xi Huai in and out of the Duke's Mansion, he never alarmed anyone.

When I went back this time, it was as smooth as ever.

It's just that in the middle of the journey, probably due to the spell cast not long ago, the young Xue Harrier's spirit was quite weak.Just now, the middle-aged man handed him the towel that wiped off the blood, accidentally slipped out of his pocket, and fell from the air.

Xi Huai was slightly taken aback, seemed to feel that something was wrong, and wanted to tell him to stop and get rid of the towel.

But this place is about half a street away from the Silver Mansion, so it's really not that close.It's just a bloody towel, and it didn't fall into the Zhen Guogong's mansion.On the contrary, he himself has been out for a long time now, and it is more important to hurry back.Immediately pressed this thought, without making a sound.

But what Xihuai never expected was that just half an hour later, there happened to be a traveler returning to the capital of the stars and passing by here.

He was about to go to the Silver Mansion, when he saw this scarf on the deserted Suzaku Avenue, saw the blood on it, felt a little strange, and picked it up.

Ji Wuhen's sensitivity to smells and colors has reached an almost inhuman level because of handling intelligence for the Mirror Tower for many years.

He sniffed the handkerchief lightly, and frowned, feeling as if he had smelled it somewhere before.

……

"...Is Xianyu awake?"

The night dew was heavy with frost, and when the sky was just showing a little paleness, Shen Yan had already been guarding outside the Qixia Platform all night.

He rubbed his fingers that were already slightly chilled, and asked a sleepy-eyed Gong'e who came out to fetch water with a wooden basin.

Gong'e was taken aback: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Shen Yan gestured to her to keep silent, which woke Chu Yuan up.

Gong'e stammered a bit: "...Young, Young Pavilion Master just woke up..."

Shen Yan nodded: "Can I go in?"

Gong'e hastily stepped aside: "Please, Your Majesty."

The bamboo leak carved is still dripping with water, and the green cypress tree in front of the paper gate is like a cover, and when the wind passes by, it makes the sound of "swirling" branches and leaves.

The time here seems to be static, and it has always been peaceful and fixed, just like on the Sinan Mountain that no one cares about.

No matter how vicissitudes and changes have taken place in the outside world, whenever Shen Yan comes here, it seems to be back to the year when he and Chu Yuan first met, and everything since then is just a Nanke dream.

Chu Yuan didn't seem to get up yet, and was washing up.

There was a rustling sound of cloth inside the paper door, Shen Yan adjusted his expression:

Yes, even though the world has been turned upside down now, rumors about whether the abolition of the Qin Tianjian angered the gods have been rampant, but Shen Yan's first reaction was still that Chu Yuan should not be affected.

If it is wrong to abolish Qin Tianjian, Guanxing Pavilion, which proposes to abolish it, will bear the brunt of it.

Shen Yan couldn't allow these conspiracies to contaminate Chu Yuan in the slightest. He immediately ordered to block the news, not allowing any rumors to spread to the Qiuxia platform. At the same time, he ordered to investigate whether the snake and scorpion were Where did it start.

If you remember correctly, the most likely person in Zhonglu who has something to do with these voodoo poisons is Gong Ziyin.

But in February of this year, didn't Gong Ziyin die already...?

"Is Xianyu ready to clean up?"

The paper sliding door slammed slightly, and a boy wearing a silver mask walked out of the door.

His lips were slightly pursed, forming a stern line, giving people a gloomy feeling that was not easy to get close to.

In fact, Shen Yan also disliked Chu Yuan's little apprentice, but at the moment he still asked patiently.

Yan Jin made a "hmm" sound, holding a wooden basin, towel, handkerchief and other things in his hand, and Shen Yan walked around him. ——But at the moment when they were about to rub shoulders, Shen Yan suddenly felt an indescribable hostility and murderous intent, his heart skipped a beat, and when he turned around, the boy had already left around the corner.

Only a distant figure remains.

"Your Majesty, why are you so busy today? Come here to ask for a platform."

After Shen Yan entered the door, Chu Yuan hugged the brocade quilt, leaned on the slum, and said in a low voice.

He was wearing a snow robe embroidered with silver thread lotus today, his complexion was still pale and lacked any color, but his black hair and sleeves and belts were all well-groomed.

I have to say that although the boy with the silver mask was annoying, he always took good care of Chu Yuan.

When Chu Yuan was serving as a stargazer, no one was allowed to touch him. Later, after the cross mark symbolizing chastity was abolished, generally only Yan Jin was allowed to touch him.

Shen Yan looked at him with a smile, looked at Chu Yuan holding a small jade porcelain spoon, was a little tired of stirring the bowl of Chinese medicine soup with his slender pale fingers, and said with a smile:

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much, so I came here."

"Is everything going well with Qin Tianjian?"

Chu Yuan asked: "Did Taishi say anything after he was imprisoned?"

"Well. Not yet," Shen Yan said with ease, "He has only been in prison not long ago, so he hasn't said anything yet. But everything is fine."

His expression was peaceful and peaceful, and there was even a slight smile on the corner of his lips. There was no sign of worry at all, and it made people unable to imagine what the city of Hoshino looked like now.

Shen Yan sometimes admired himself, the ability to hide his thoughts, only Chu Yuan in this world could make him do it.

"Oh……"

Chu Yuan didn't notice anything unusual, and responded in a low voice.

The medicinal soup in his bowl was finally stirred cold, the long-sick and pale man frowned, as if he was facing an enemy, then he closed his eyes, brought the bowl to his lips, and drank it all at once go down.

Shen Yan looked at his throat that rolled slightly from swallowing.

"Xianyu..."

Shen Yan was silent for a while, but finally couldn't help but said: "Actually, I'm here this time... I still want to ask you, can you see my prosperous fortune?"

Chu Yuan frowned slightly, because he swallowed too much medicine and choked a little, he pressed his heart and coughed muffledly.

Yan Jin outside heard the sound and immediately said, "Master...?"

Chu Yuan waved his hand: "It's okay."

The boy who was waiting saw the silhouette on the paper window, and then he became quiet again.

Seeing the stargazer's weak appearance, Shen Yan sighed very lightly.

"It would be great if you could tell me who offended you in the first place..."

he murmured.

"Luck..."

After a long time, Chu Yuan calmed down.His pale and bloodless cheeks turned an abnormal blush due to the stuffy cough: "I can't see it for a long time."

He said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I didn't hide it intentionally. Only when my spiritual power is at its peak can I achieve such a major event as the fate of the country. Now... I have seen the trajectories of the stars that I have observed before."

"Kan Guoyun... a cripple like me is powerless."

"Then restore your spiritual power to its peak!"

Shen Yan suddenly said that he seemed to have buried this idea in his heart for a long time, and now he finally couldn't help pouring it out: "Xianyu... as long as you are willing to tell me who the next offender is, I will kill him, your Spiritual power can be restored to the original...!"

Chu Yuan looked at him quietly, calmly, like the long white snow in the Tianshan Mountains, always watching the world calmly and indifferently, like stagnant water.

"How important is that person..."

Shen Yan smiled wryly again, that's right, back then his father threatened Chu Yuan with the torture of fire to tell him the name of that person, but Chu Yuan didn't let go, how could he say it now?

It's just that Shen Yan was finally unwilling. He thought that he and Chu Yuan were the closest people in the world, but he didn't expect that in Chu Yuan's heart, there was someone far more important and important than him...

"I never wanted to force you."

For a long time, Shen Yan looked into the eyes of the man in the snow robe, and asked softly: "But if one day, I just say, if one day, I and him are at the two ends of the balance, Sheng Yang will perish, I beg you to say Say his name, kill him, recover your spiritual power, and save our country, who would you choose?"

"There won't be that day."

Chu Yuan said with a light smile.He looked at Shen Yan like he was looking at an unreasonable child, and replied with absolute conviction: "There will never be that day."

"what."

Shen Yan lowered her head and smiled lightly, there was indescribable loneliness and desolation in that smile.But he didn't want to show it, just like he never begged for love in front of Chu Yuan, because he felt that he couldn't ask for it.

It's time to say it, but it will only increase the embarrassment.

Sometimes Shen Yan even felt that in Chu Yuan's heart, maybe he was not as good as that cold and cold Yan Jin.

"Can you tell me what kind of person he is?"

After a long time, Shen Yan calmed down and put on a nonchalant look again: "When did you know him? Before me... I always thought that we are the best friends in the world."

"You must know?"

Chu Yuan raised his eyes, looked at him quietly and asked.

"Yes."

Shen Yan replied silently: "I must know."

Let me give up.

Chu Yuan sighed: "...I have known him for as long as I have known you."

"He is the person I am willing to stay in this world for."
