Feilai Peak, the door of the black palace opened, and the weak candlelight spread out and mixed with the moonlight outside the door.
Jiang Xingyuan slowly walked out of the door, looked at the back of the cliff, and said solemnly: "Don't make any attempts."
Jiang Shangxiu looked to the southeast in silence and asked calmly: "Are you afraid?"
Jiang Xingyuan snorted coldly and stared at Jiang Shangxiu's back with cold eyes, "The people living in the house want to lift off the roof. What a stupid idea."
Jiang Shangxiu squinted his eyes and couldn't see the Yellow Pine Valley, which was a hundred kilometers away. He turned to look at the door and sighed softly.
Jiang Xingyuan did not restrict any of his actions. After knowing that Murong Yin was leading all this, Jiang Shangxiu understood that even if he dared to go to Huangsong Valley, nothing would change.
Jiang Xingyuan said coldly: "You always want to overthrow us old guys and do things according to your own ideas, but you don't know that these rules that have allowed Hidden Valley to exist for so many years are never so easy to break."
Jiang Shangxiu turned back, continued to look in the direction of Huangsong Valley, and said calmly: "Then it won't change? Dad, our foundation has never been in Hidden Valley, not even in the Assassin lineage."
Jiang Xingyuan walked to the edge of the cliff and stood side by side with Jiang Shangxiu. His voice softened a little and said, "I'm very happy that you can think of this, but you have to understand that if you want to achieve something big, you must have someone..."
At this point, Jiang Xingyuan paused, followed Jiang Shangxiu's gaze, and denied: "But he is definitely not this kind of person."
"He is a bit young and energetic, but this is good..."
Jiang Shangxiu asked belatedly: "Will Suzaku be in Huangsong Valley?"
Jiang Xingyuan's eyes fell on Jiang Shangxiu's face, and he said with complicated eyes: "If it's not her, it's Dugu Wei... Murong Yin always thinks carefully before taking action, which is why I stopped you."
Jiang Shangxiu was silent.
Although Jiang Xingyuan was angry that Jiang Shangxiu was becoming more and more self-assertive, Hengyu understood one thing that Zheng Shi did not. That was, whether it was Murong Xiuming and Murong Yin, or Jiang Shangxiu and Jiang Xingyuan, the blood inheritance between them was It can never be cut off.
In addition to the natural class alignment with Murong Yin, Jiang Xingyuan also did not want Jiang Shangxiu to separate from Hidden Valley, even though that would actually be better for Jiang Xingyuan.
And Jiang Shangxiu also understood that breaking away from Hidden Valley controlled by Murong Yin at this moment for the sake of Mu Qing would not be beneficial to future plans, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Everything depends on yourself. We are all the same...the real foundation can only be yourself." Jiang Shangxiu felt a little regretful and looked at the night sky in the distance.
…
…
In the camp of Huangsong Valley, two patrol teams walked toward each other. After they collided head-on, the leader scanned the faces of the team members behind him, nodded slightly in greeting, and then separated.
The footsteps passing by were slightly chaotic, and the firelight slowly separated. A man in black robe walking behind one of the teams suddenly turned his head, and his eyes fell on the back of the last person in the other team. He hesitated again and again, but finally did not say stop. The other party shook his head and followed his team.
"It's so dangerous..." Mu Qing lowered the brim of his wide black robe, raised the torch to the same height as the person in front of him, and looked in the direction of the team's advance.
There is still nearly a mile away from the center of the camp. Although this is a bit risky, if you hide once after walking half a foot away, by the time you stop hiding, half an hour may have passed.
Mu Qing decided to pay attention, and first found the right opportunity to kill a patrolling black robe, and then impersonated him. However, he had not discovered one detail before: the leader of the team would also identify the faces of other teams.
This means that if you want to complete the process of killing and then impersonating, you can only complete it in the short period of time when the two teams pass by each other.
Mu Qing looked back at the hillside at the edge of the camp, and then immediately looked back. He knew in his heart that as long as something happened to him, Ning Chu would probably not leave alone, so he had to be as careful as possible in all his actions now. Fortunately, until now, everything All were near misses.
Just as Mu Qing followed the group of black robes and slowly approached the center of the camp, in the largest tent in the center, Huai Cao Shi limped to the edge of the tent and leaned his face against it.
"master……"
Bai Jiahe wanted to come over and support Huai Cao Shi, but Huai Cao Shi shook his head.
After a long while, Huai Cao Shi returned to Bai Jiahe step by step, and her frowning eyebrows relaxed slightly, "Ning Chu was not caught. This is good news."
Bai Jiahe squatted in front of Huai Cao Shi, and gently applied a layer of new medicine on Huai Cao Shi with his fingers, and then bandaged it with Lu Fanrou's help. Huai Cao Shi looked at the two women in front of him and said in a slightly relieved tone, "You guys Everything is fine, that’s fine.”
Lu Fanrou had already concluded a marriage with Xu Zuo under the witness of Huai Cao Shi. At this time, she also called the master, "Jianwen, I can't help myself. Don't blame him."
Bai Jiahe raised his head and looked at Huai Cao Shi with a sad face. Huai Cao Shi sighed softly and reached out between her eyebrows, "Whether Jianwen couldn't help himself or not, it doesn't matter anymore. It's the master's fault. Ever since I brought you back to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, you have fallen into their plan, which has harmed both you and my junior sisters..."
Bai Jiahe shook his head affectionately, feeling the roughness of Huicao Shi's fingertips between his furrowed brows, and suddenly felt a little sad, "What Jianwen and I have been accustomed to over the years is actually the master blocking us in front, and the master will also grow old... …Who will stand in front of the master then, can I?”
Bai Jiahe raised his head, grabbed Huai Caoshi's fingertips, rubbed it and said, "Master, I heard from my senior sister that the women in Wanhua Valley used to have the surname Huai. Can I change my surname? I want to take your surname."
Huai Caoshi's eyes were clear and crystal clear, and the corners of his tired eyes were slightly raised: "Did you know that your uncle, the master of the valley, also had a surname of Bai?"
Bai Jiahe nodded, then immediately shook his head. His voice was extremely soft, and he said slowly: "The year my father died, I was less than five years old. Because I didn't see him often, in fact... my memory about him is already very vague. My mother has been sick ever since she gave birth to me, and later I had Jianwen.
"I still clearly remember the first time when I was a child, my master taught me and my senior brother swordsmanship. During the sparring, my senior brother let me..."
"Junior sister..." Xu Zuo Jianyi's face lines were much softer, and there was some pity in his eyes.
Bai Jiahe knelt in front of Huai Cao Shi with his knees together, held Huai Cao Shi's rough palm and put it against his cheek, "This surname has been bothering me and tormenting me since my parents died. It has affected many people. Whenever I Seeing that some people lost their lives because of me and Jianwen, I felt that this debt could never be repaid."
Lu Fanrou knelt down and sat aside, hugging Bai Jiahe's shoulders and patting her gently, "Jiahe, I dare not say how many people are like me, but when we meet, some people come with a purpose from the beginning. You don’t have to feel too guilty.”
"Actually... even I have my own purpose." Lu Fanrou paused and glanced sideways at Xu Zuo, who was standing aside. The man's thoughts were so rough.
Huai Caoshi pursed her lips and smiled, "Fan Rou is right. Some people have the idea of being a hero to support the dragon from the beginning. Jiahe, you don't have to worry about yourself."
Bai Jiahe said "Yes", "Master...if I can return to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers this time, no matter what other people think, I will change my surname and take you as my mother."
Huai Caoshi held Bai Jiahe's pretty face with both hands, his eyes were clear and soft, and he said seriously: "Silly boy, the master's surname is Huai because the master has been an orphan since he was a child. He doesn't know who his parents are. Since you know your parents , how can you change your last name at will?"
Bai Jiahe shook his head repeatedly, "I don't care. If Uncle Valley Master can change, I can change. From now on, if the master is a master, he will also be a mother."
Huai Cao Shi's eyebrows were crooked, and he heard a "plop" sound. Xu Zuo also knelt down in front of Huai Cao Shi's knees and said, "Master, I have never been able to speak. I also..."
Bai Jiahe glared at Xu Zuo and said softly: "Senior brother, you are a grown man, why do you have the nerve to kneel down with me to snatch your master?"
"I..." Xu Zuo scratched his head in embarrassment.
Lu Fanrou smiled and said crisply: "You two are enough. There is always a saying in the world of apprenticeships, which is called 'once a teacher, always a father'. The master has long been the mother in everyone's hearts." Why, you still have to be so pretentious."
"Sister-in-law!" Bai Jiahe lowered his head at the words.
Huai Cao Shi stood up unsteadily, then helped Bai Jiahe and the three of them stand up, with the corners of his mouth raised: "A few silly kids."
She looked at the door curtain of the tent and said softly: "Jiahe, you can't change your surname casually. Each of us is born in this world, and the first surname we are given is always related to our own lives. Your uncle was originally very talented. Because... I changed my name, I stayed in the spiritual realm for many years."
Bai Jiahe's eyes were full of regret, Huai Cao Shi stood in front of her, held her hand, looked around the three of them and said: "Unless we really hide in the mountains and no longer have contact with the outside world, our image to this world will be It has always been more defined by others. Only when you grow up to the point where most people can only look up to you, will you be what you want to express when they talk about you."
Huai Caoshi squeezed Bai Jiahe's hand and asked with a smile: "Master has said so much, what do you think he wants to tell you?"
Bai Jiahe said seriously: "Then just be yourself and don't adapt to this... bullshit world."
Huai Caoshi's eyes brightened and then dimmed quickly, "It's a pity that those who would rather be broken than whole die early, so I still hope that you will live as hard as you can. Only by living can you become stronger."
Lu Fanrou frowned and looked at Huai Cao Shi carefully, feeling slightly worried.
At this time, Huai Cao Shi slowly sat back on the simple bed, her brows showing determination, and she was secretly worried: "We must save ourselves now, otherwise when Ning Chu returns to Wanhua Valley, Mu Qing Shaoyao and the others will be dragged in."
She raised her head and asked in a low voice: "Jianwen, did you tell him that he listened?"
After Bai Jianwen was captured and returned to the camp, he visited the tent once.
When Bai Jiahe mentioned Bai Jianwen, there was some anger on his face, and he came closer to Huai Cao Shi, "Master, he is probably obsessed with Zhang Shanshan. Even now, he still thinks that Zheng Shi and these people are so good to him that he should pay attention to it." The guard situation in the camp is a bit difficult.”
Huai Caoshi nodded, patted his injured leg, and said lonely: "My skills are not as good as others."
Xu Zuo's face was full of anger, "We have never seen these two gunmen before. We don't know how long they have appeared, but they are two against one, so they are invincible."
Huai Cao Shi caught something strange and said in a solemn voice: "You have been to Huangsong Valley before, but have you never seen these two people using guns?"
