Chengdu is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. The refugees are scattered in the outskirts of the city, and the city is also under martial law.However, those who are displaced are displaced, those who defend their homes and the country defend their homes and the country, and those who are drunk and dream of death are still drunk and dream of death.

Compared with the bleakness of the long street, the Zuihong Courtyard showed a strange bustle.

A phrase used by people who seek pleasure here is that after a war, I don’t know how long I can live. If I can be happy, I must hurry up and be happy for a while.

When a person is dead, it is difficult to be happy.

In the past two days, the private room on the top floor finally welcomed the owner.

Zuihong Courtyard is a red building from beginning to end. I am afraid no one would have imagined that in this most dusty place, the furnishings on this top floor are surprisingly elegant, completely free from the extravagance and noise downstairs.

Just like the person sitting in it.

The night falls and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty rises.

Hua Die knocked on the door of the room, and before stepping in, he could imagine what he looked like at this time.

Or playing the piano, or painting, or sitting quietly and meditating.

But no matter when, he is so gentle and noble after all, it is often impossible to connect with the Valley of the Wicked.

Hey……

When she approached, Jiang Chen knew who was coming from the subdued footsteps, so he put down the pen and paper.When the knock on the door sounded, Jiang Chen's eyes fell on the picture scroll with a string of names written on his side. After reading it for a while, he casually rolled it up and put it aside. His tone was as calm as ever, "Come in."

Huadie held several plates of snacks, and stretched out her hand to open the door.

Jiang Chen was sitting in the private room, with a row of freshly washed pens and ink hanging on the red sandalwood carved book table in front of him, and a rolled picture scroll was beside his hand.A cup of tea in his hand was rippling with microwaves, and the slender tea leaves stood on the bottom of the bowl, reflecting a strange pale green color.

He just watched quietly, looking at the mist that appeared and disappeared from the tea bowl, his expression was calm.

When she came in, he raised his head.

Hua Die is still wearing a thick and gorgeous scarlet peony wide-sleeved shirt, dragging on the ground, her eyebrows are bright and enchanting, and she has a charming appearance.

Originally, she was staying in Chang'an, but before Jiang Chen deliberately expressed his interest in Xia Ziqian, she was worried about other people, so she came here in person.

If Miligul is a woman as tender as water, then the Butterfly is just like her name, like a fluttering butterfly, an intoxicating poppy.Women with enchanting eyebrows and eyes are not very respected, but often no one resists this kind of beauty.

Only he can be so blind.

Probably, Gu Zhu already has Wen Xiaoyue in his heart.

Butterfly thought.

Stepping into the door, he saw him sitting quietly at the table in white clothes, the lights in the veil in the room flickered slightly, and the moonlight cast in from the carved wooden window. I don't know if it was a coincidence or something else, but instead of illuminating his face, it cast A shadow fell.

The footsteps were originally coherent, but suddenly stopped at the door, Jiang Chensheng was a little puzzled.He glanced up for a moment, then looked away, looked at her expression, knew a little about her intentions, anyway, it would not be as simple as sending snacks, and said lightly, "... let's talk."

"Valley Master..." Hua Die subconsciously respected, and then stopped.When she thought of what had happened in the Valley of the Wicked, she suddenly became dumb.She really didn't know how to explain some things tactfully, and when explaining, she would not make the valley owner feel sad.For this reason, her gaze is so perplexed, even... maybe it should be called sympathy, and hatred for some wolf-hearted people.

Even if she hadn't met with her own eyes, she had heard that the owner of the valley took great care of Tintin, and even the saintess had a fondness for the little girl, but...

but……

She hesitated, dared not speak, and stared at Jiang Chen for a while, then looked away very sadly.

Jiang Chen: ...

Facing this inexplicable and inexplicable gaze, it was rare for him not to immediately perceive her complicated thoughts at the moment.Then he put the teacup away, put the tea lid on properly, stood up from the desk, and asked again without a trace of impatience, "Don't be shy."

Hua Die seemed to be hoarse, and opened her mouth, but no words came out.

Jiang Chen didn't make a sound to urge her, but stood quietly and listened to her talk, regardless of his expression or other things, he didn't feel dissatisfied or accused her of hesitating, calm as usual.

It seems that no matter what you say, you can't make waves in your heart.

Hua Die pursed her red lips and said, "Ding Ding and Kalubi, the two teamed up to betray the owner of the valley."

Jiang Chen was rarely taken aback.

After a long silence, there was only a tone that was neither salty nor light, between his lips, "Oh?"

One word, without expressing any emotion.

Now that Butterfly has opened her mouth, she can no longer hide it, "Ding Ding preaches in the valley, the owner of the valley is obsessed with beauty, and the wicked people of the valley are nothing... No, no..." This sentence of condemnation still makes people laugh. Butterflies are hard to tell.

What is unworthy, if the person who leads the wicked people in the valley to defeat the imperial court generals is not worthy of the position of valley owner, who can be worthy.

But the important thing is that this girl is cruel and powerful, and has already controlled the Valley of the Evil.If she hadn't met one or two life-and-death friends in the valley in the past, the great changes in the valley would have been kept secret, and most of the people outside the valley would have been kept secret.

Jiang Chen spoke for her softly, "You don't deserve to be the owner of the wicked valley, do you?"

Huadie's slender eyebrows frowned slightly, "Valley Master..." Did you know it by heart?

But why, let it go?

Jiang Chen lowered his eyes, and said inexplicably, "Look at me, a good apprentice, I really look like my father."

It is really respectable to be able to control the Valley of the Wicked at such a young age.

Funny to say.

He didn't remember that the original Xie Tan'er had betrayed Wang Yifeng, and when it came to him, he was impatient to betray.

Regardless of the reason, it is considered a betrayal.

Could it be that he was not good enough for them?

Jiang Chen thought about this question seriously.Maybe, really not good enough?

In their hearts, I am afraid that it is not good enough.

"Butterfly..."

"Yes... Guzhu..." When he smiled, Huadie didn't show a kind of gentleness as usual, but couldn't help but trembled, and the answer became uncertain.

Jiang Chen didn't seem to care about the matter of the Valley of the Wicked, and asked her back, "How is the battle ahead?"

Huadie's heart trembled, and she gave up resolutely before mentioning the changes in the Valley of the Wicked, but thinking about the recent battle in Chengdu, her heart seemed to be weighed down by a huge rock. She couldn't relax, and said heavily, "All the nails planted in the barracks have been removed. .”

Jiang Chen didn't say good or bad, his eyes wandered, and he fell on the white jade carving on the table not far away, and then he took two steps unhurriedly, and moved it away. There was a word "Tiance" on it.

Hua Die also looked over and understood, "The news from Chang'an, Pei Yaoqing, Zhang Xun, Wang Wei and others jointly signed a letter to the emperor a few days ago to retry Li Chengen's case. The emperor is considering it. Thirty percent of the people in Tiance's mansion are here It is in the hands of Xia Ziqian to confront Nanzhao everywhere. I heard that Huangfu Weiming admires him very much, and everyone in Tiance also..."

"It's all attached."

A strong wind suddenly blows outside the window, and the red veil is lifted up, showing a little ghostly color under the moonlight.

A few lights by the table flickered and then went out suddenly.

The sudden darkness brought Jiang Chen back to his senses, and his eyes fell on the only remaining light flickering in the wind, and he smiled faintly, with unclear meaning, "It seems that there is a lot of trouble."

He looked at the darkness of the void, "Smoke."

A shadow flashed out of nowhere.

"Please tell the owner of the valley."

The voice is indistinguishable, whether it is a deliberate disguise.

This person suddenly appeared in the shadows, Hua Die was startled for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that this person's aura was so weak that even if she stood in front of her, she could hardly feel it.

If she hadn't actually seen this black shadow, Hua Die would have thought it was her own illusion.

Is a master!

Jiang Chen didn't even look back, "How is the trend in Youzhou?"

Hei Ying said, "The four families and six sects in the Central Plains are independent, and their forces are intertwined. Pinglu Jiedu envoy An Lushan intends to raise troops to serve the king...but..." He frowned, "He secretly communicated with the envoys of Silla .”

"Before Zhang Jiuling retired, he was assassinated several times. According to the investigation, it should be the work of Spike's spies. The Spike Army belongs to Anlu Mountain. In addition, Evil Guy Guzhong also took over the task of assassinating Zhang Jiuling, but was blocked by Changgemen Yes. The source of the mission is Li Linfu."

"Really? Then...how is the former leader of the Tang Sect?"

Yan was silent for a long time, "Master Gu, you know, Yan will not answer this question."

"...Forget it, if you don't want to answer, I won't ask in the future. However, along the way, the number of beggar gang disciples has increased dramatically. Do you know why?"

Smoke fell silent again.

"If Tang Jian ever believed in you, then you should know about the Dragon Vein of the Tang Dynasty."

Jiang Chen naturally remembered that the dragon's veins were in Junshan.

Hearing the word "Dragon Vein", Yan was startled, and raised his head reflexively to see his expression, not seeing anything wrong.After a long while, he said, "This...how did Master Gu start talking about it?"

Jiang Chen looked at the vast night, and there was still a slight smile in his tone, "I heard that dragon veins can change fate against the sky."

Yan frowned, secretly thinking that this person is really difficult to deal with, and always tempted him intentionally or unintentionally, after sighing, she replied with a very sincere expression and a very serious tone, "The owner of the valley was joking. The talk of the dragon's veins is just a comfort after all. Whether it actually exists or not is unknown... Besides, the so-called changing fate against the sky is mysterious and mysterious, how can such jokes be taken seriously..."

After finishing speaking, when he met Jiang Chen who turned around at some point, he frowned, loosened, and frowned again. Looking back at the words, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his answer.But under such direct confrontation, he still involuntarily shifted his gaze away to relieve the cold feeling in his heart.

Hearing a calm voice in his ear, "It's true, it's not true."

Obviously agreeing, but it is more speechless than a direct rebuttal.

The atmosphere was oppressive, and there was a long silence.

"Send a message to Xiao Yao'er, tell him to be more vigilant, don't let people make trouble into a ghost valley."

"If there is no cure in the end..." Jiang Chen clasped his fingers, the coldness in his eyes gradually revealed, "Kill them all."

With such a calm and indifferent tone, Yan's heart skipped a beat, she lowered her head and replied, "Yes."

Hua Die's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and when he raised his head just now, he realized that this person is actually a beautiful girl... However, if she is so casual, she might not be her true face.

After the smoke had settled down, he hesitated again, "Miss Wen, she..."

The corners of Jiang Chen's lips curved slightly, but there was no real smile in his eyes, "'She' will always come."

Yan moved her lips, wanting to say that the blind woman was still fleeing from the pursuit of the Valley of the Wicked, and might die within half a day.She was able to barely escape the Valley of the Wicked under Xie Tan'er's control by accident, which almost made his jaw drop in shock, but the Kunlun Mountains are so steep, that's a blind person, Gu Master, do you really trust her ability so much?But he instinctively chose to shut up decisively.

The shadow under the shadow disappeared silently again.

Huadie was silent, seeing that he hadn't fallen asleep for a long time, she took out a fire pocket from her sleeve to light the lamp, and retreated.

Jiang Chen stood alone, with the lights flickering on and off, and it was difficult to discern his expression.
