Huaicheng, Fuyun Pavilion, looking at the moon.

The door to the small courtyard has been closed, and there is no one in the courtyard.

The doors and windows of the house were closed, and there were only Luochuan and the old coachman in the house.

In front of the table, the old coachman held the pitch-black long sword across his chest with one hand, and stretched out a finger with the other hand to lightly trace the sword's spine. Following the movement of his fingers, a blue light slowly stayed on the sword's body. , crystal clear like crystal. After crossing the blade of the sword with your fingers, the blue light will vaguely cover the upper and lower parts of the sword. The light flows and is very mysterious.

Seeing this scene, the old coachman couldn't help but sigh, "What a sword! What a top-notch flying sword!"

"Oh?" Luo Chuan, who was sitting at the table and meditating with a tea cup, couldn't help but look up when he heard this, "Uncle Jiang, look carefully. Is this sword really at the top level?"

"Absolutely true," the old coachman frowned and stared at the light on the sword, "Even if I didn't spend my energy to train it, the Qi temporarily attached to it was almost intact. In addition, the manufacturing process of this sword is obviously good, even if it is placed on Among the best weapons of the same level, I am afraid it will not fall short of the best."

Luo Chuan's fingers gently rubbed the edge of the tea cup. After a long silence, he spoke again, "It's really surprisingly generous... Uncle Jiang, do you think what Mr. Yun said is true or false? I I remember I heard you talk about an extremely mysterious young master in Guang County before, could it be...?"

The old coachman gently put the sword back on the table and then went to check the door and windows again. Then he sat back next to Luo Chuan and lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid the mysterious young master in the legend is this person. ..."

Luo Chuan frowned slightly.

The old coachman looked solemn and said in a low voice, "The matter starts with the Grand Administrator of Guang County. Since ancient times, there have been few disciples of the Grand Administrator of Guang County who are highly talented in cultivation. Even the wives married by successive generations of the Imperial Guard are all talented practitioners. , not much has changed after hundreds of years, but the previous generation of eunuchs gave birth to three sons, two of whom were very talented. They both broke through the barrier and entered the four realms at a young age. The old eunuch was naturally happy. After blooming, they publicly stated their position many times that the next governor must be one of these two genius sons. As a result, the dispute between the two young masters was almost put on the table. This continued for several years, and everyone in Guang County could win. All the characters on the stage were inevitably involved in the situation and chose sides. Until a few years ago, the old eunuch probably felt that the situation was a bit too much, so he sent his two sons to other places to handle matters. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened at this time... ....”

He suddenly lowered his voice even more, "The old prefect of Guang County who was in good health suddenly died of illness. The young son of the prefect who originally only knew how to live a life of debauchery, a mortal who could not practice, actually stood in front of the stage to preside over the ceremony. What is even more shocking about the situation is that all the powerful families in Guang County who had vowed to side with the old prefect's two genius sons seemed to have changed their minds overnight, and all the family heads actually knelt before the old governor. The young son of the prefect said in front of him that Guang County should not be without a master for a day, so he begged him to ascend the position of prefect! There is nothing more strange and strange in the world than this..."

The old coachman sighed and continued, "By the time the two genius sons of the old eunuch learned the news and rushed back, the new eunuch had already sent people to go to all the military camps in Guang County to replace the tiger charms, and everyone in Jincheng had already paid their respects. After passing the new master, he was unable to save himself. One of them was probably unwilling to give in, and he disappeared within a few days and was never seen again. The other one seemed to have exchanged identities with his mortal brother. From then on, he spent a lot of time in practice and became a golden man. A useless person known to everyone in the city..."

"Uncle Jiang means that the new governor of Guangjun is a ruthless character who is good at forbearing, but he quietly laid out a big plan under the light of his two genius brothers?!" Luo Chuan asked with some surprise.

"Many people think so, but several of my military friends from other counties don't think so," the old coachman whispered. "Their evaluations of the new governor vary greatly, but one thing is surprising. "The person who is in charge of intelligence for this new prefect is an extremely terrifying character...and this person is very likely to be the new prefect." The second son of the family!"

Luochuan was startled, "How many sons does this new governor of Guang County have?"

"Two," the old coachman held out two fingers. "The eldest son came to Beijing as a hostage a few years ago. The second son has lived in Jincheng since he was a child. Legend has it that he is male and female and seldom shows himself to others. His name is... Yunbailou!"

Luo Chuan's thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind, "So when I saw Mr. Yun today, Uncle Jiang already knew who he was?"

The old coachman nodded, "Such a young man can be surrounded by such a strong man. What's even more frightening is that the strong man can be so... respectful in front of him. This is not something that someone can do based on his status alone. Plus, his appearance is really... special..."

Luo Chuan reached out to touch the black sword on the table, "He said... Our mothers were old acquaintances before. My mother also saved his mother's life?"

The old coachman nodded again, "I once heard Madam talk about a friend in Guang County, and I also heard the eunuch mention it. Madam did take you to visit friends in Guang County. It is said that Madam was one of the few people in Hanzhou in southwest China. There are not many people who can say a few words, and..." He glanced at Luo Chuan's expressionless face and continued, "And in this southwest Hanzhou, you know the name of your wife and the relationship between her and you. There are very few people who have relationships with each other.”

Luochuan was silent, just rubbing his hand on the hilt of the long sword.

The old coachman was also silent for a moment and then asked, "Do you want to rely on him and the power of Guangjun behind him... to protect yourself?"

Luochuan shook his head, "How am I qualified to rely on Guangjun's power? If I really believe the drama about the deep brotherhood when we first met, then I would be the biggest fool in the world. We are just using each other. As for self-protection... ....Although I had a vague feeling that returning to Licheng this time might not be peaceful, now it seems that I still thought too simply..."

"Do you really believe his judgment about the prefect of Yongchang County?" The old coachman looked at Luochuan with complicated eyes, seeming a little surprised and a little sad, "Although your brother is indeed the grandson of the prefect of Yongchang County, but After all, his surname is Luo, and the choice of the heir to the Lijun Prefecture is, after all, a family matter of the Luo family. No matter how much the Yongchang Prefecture loves his grandson, he will not take crazy action for the Luo family's family affairs. Now that troubled times are coming, Lijun and Yongchangjun have been together for generations. It’s the time when we are relying on each other to make good friends. To go to war over you, a proton who has not yet posed any threat to his grandson? It’s really unreasonable..."

"Chaos is coming, how can we use common sense to deal with it?" Luo Chuan's words were very similar to the beauty in white who had just left. His eyes looking at the sword were very calm, "I have been in the capital for sixteen years and have nothing to do with it." People care about me, and now I have become a hot cake when I return home. They rush to see me one by one. Have I changed?" He shook his head and smiled a little coldly, "I haven't changed, so these are the people who have changed. They It feels like I suddenly have value again, what value can I have? It's just muddying the stagnant water in Li County."

The old coachman was speechless, and after a while he spoke again, "Have you decided...really want to get involved with him? This man...is too dangerous..."

There was no smile on Luo Chuan's face, "We know too little now, so we can only take one step at a time. Besides, I am... can I really not join in if I say I won't join in?"
