I promise

Chapter 899
Entering Luoyang from the north, you can see a vast expanse of snow-like reeds in the distance.That is the northwestern bank of Changjiabao Outer Lake - North Weidang.

Hundreds of acres of reeds are connected to the clear green lake all year round, behind which are hidden green hills and rocky fishing boats.

Further inwards, beyond the depths of the clouds and water, is Changjiabao.

"... I have sneaked in once. Changjiabao's defenses seem to be loose, but they are loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Bypassing the mountain in front and entering the inner lake, they may be under their sight at any time. The ferryman, cast the net A fisherman, or even an old woman making clothes, may be a master of concealment."

"Changjiabao has many mountains and complex roads, and it is easy to get lost. There are also a large number of residents, scattered on various hills, far apart but facing each other. It is almost impossible to search from house to house."

"Coercion and questioning won't work - there are many masters, and they are united inside, and their tone is very strict. If you can't succeed immediately, it will be difficult to get away regardless of which side is alarming the family guards and iron guards."

"The scariest thing is Yumin. Liangqing is well-known, but after entering Changjiabao, Yumin is the most unpredictable person. Twice, he suddenly appeared within a mile of my hiding place, and once , only five feet apart, almost exposed—it’s definitely not a coincidence.”

"But as long as the Holy Lord gives the opportunity, the subordinates will definitely find out a countermeasure within a month and make atonement."

Jin Yanchen remained silent.

Gu Hongying knew that there was a faster way, which was to go directly to the door to ask for someone.

Ning Weishuang, who was pregnant with the heir of the Jin family, was a hot potato. The Mu family wanted it, the Liu family wanted it, and the Ning family, who wanted to get rid of the future quickly, might change their attitude after learning the truth.If Ning Weishuang was really rescued by Mu Dianke, she might not be able to cover it.

But he dared not say it.

In his opinion, the most direct and effective method, to put it bluntly, is to force Jin Yanchen to confront Mu Dianke. In Jin Yanchen's mind, it is the worst way.

"... Mu Men have also inquired about it in many ways." Gu Hongying continued, "After the Ning family's dead men entered Luoyang, they did not restrain themselves, which indeed attracted the attention of Mu Men. But how much did Mu Cangping know and what did he do? If you think about it, you won’t know.”

Although Ming Gong has many hands and eyes, it cannot penetrate into the core of Mumen.

If Mu Cangping really wanted to hide people in secret, they wouldn't be able to find out.

"Leave this matter alone," Jin Yanchen said.

Gu Hongying was stunned for a moment, with a hint of panic in his eyes.He knew too well what would happen to a killer who couldn't kill anyone.

"I have another task for you." Jin Yanchen said, "I have my own concerns about this matter."

"Yes." Gu Hongying replied.

Jin Yanchen turned the horse's head, looked away, and never looked at the distant green hill at the end of the white snowstorm.

***
Under the earth-colored skirt, a narrow embroidered shoe with yellow buds was exposed.

It's just that the owner of the shoe is no longer young.

Years of widowhood made her brows gloomy, and for some unknown reason, her eyes were full of resentment.This made her originally beautiful face look not only haggard, but also a bit mean.

"Holy Lord." The woman spoke clearly, her voice was very clear, which was extremely disproportionate to her aging face, "I should call you that, right?"

Jin Yanchen was covered in a wide hooded cloak, leaning on the railing to look into the distance, without looking back.

The woman was silent, and took out a scroll from her sleeve and handed it over.

"This is the footprint of Han Luojun's daily actions. He used to go back to his hometown every year to worship his ancestors. After Xiao Si'er came back and met Gui Ruotong and Bi Chang, he didn't dare to leave Luoyang easily. In the past three years, he It's staying in Shi Xingyang's courtyard to watch the new year with Bi Chang and Gui Ruotong."

Jin Yanchen took the paper tube with his backhand and unfolded it against the north wind. The clear lines of his brushstrokes went from his eyes to his heart, forming a series of horizontal streets and vertical alleys in his mind, houses, wine houses... He has not been to Luoyang for many years, but he is still familiar with it. .

"Is it for your wife?" the woman asked.

Jin Yanchen tightened his fingers, causing the edges of the paper to wrinkle.

He owed Qu Yu'er a lot, and he rarely wanted to think about it, and he didn't like to be mentioned.Especially talking about that unbearable past.

There was a flash of light on the balcony, and the knife was sheathed silently.The woman touched her neck suspiciously, suddenly her legs went limp, and she fell against the railing behind - there was blood on her fingertips.

"You talk too much." Jin Yanchen rolled up the paper tube and put it into his sleeves, "It doesn't matter what purpose you joined the Ming Palace, or you just entered it in a muddle-headed way. It's not easy to walk on this road. Turn around. Do what you should do, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

The woman leaned on the railing, the fear in her eyes disappeared, and she smiled wryly, "The years are ruthless like knives, we really have changed beyond recognition."

Time has never been a sentimental thing.

The grass and trees dry up every year, and the flowers and grass leaves have been replaced by thirteen stubbles. What's the matter with people?
Jin Yanchen didn't have so many emotions that hurt the spring and the autumn.From that year, when he opened his eyes on the way to Qingzhou, he lost everything and lost too many useless emotions.

Most of the time, he is neither sad nor happy, nor angry, nor hurt, just alive.

"Jin Liu!" When he took the last step, the woman suddenly stopped him.

Her voice became urgent, "I just want you to tell me the truth, what exactly happened when Rong Yi surrounded you on the wasteland, why, why—"

She covered her mouth, choked up and couldn't speak, her eyes were wet from the snowflakes hitting her face.

Jin Yanchen guessed what she was going to say.

"You should ask your father, or Xiao Sier." He turned his head, with a cruel indifference in his eyes, "If you still can't find anything, then you should believe that the answer is what you think."

***
It took three days for Mu Dian to learn the news that Bi Chang and Gui Ruotong had been killed one after another.

Someone killed them, cut off their heads, and put them on Han Luojun's only way.

On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Bi Chang died.

In the afternoon, Gui Ruotong disappeared.

It is said that when Han Luojun found Gui Ruotong's bloody head, he almost collapsed and cried in the street.

He used to go into battle in military uniform to guard the border and defend the country, and then he carried a mace in white to punish traitors and help the weak, and finally he couldn't protect his brother.

— under his nose!After he guarded them carefully for three years!
Did Mu Dian know that it was Jin Yanchen who came.

She once raised a sword to kill Han Luojun, discovered his weakness of sentimentality and self-blame, and determined to let him carry a heavy moral burden for the rest of his life.

Jin Yanchen ventured into Luoyang presumably to take Han Luojun's life. For the same purpose, he killed the two people he most wanted to protect.

No one understands the pain better than those of them who have gone to hell—living, losing soberly, and soberly facing their own humbleness and incompetence.

Han Luojun did not die, but the rest of his life would be worse than death.

"We may have to prepare for trouble." She said to Chang Qianfo.
