100 million walk alone

Chapter 475: The meeting that puts your career on the line

"You don't want any accidents to happen during your vigil, right?"

After hearing this, Pei Yin's thoughts flew back to ancient times.

At that time, he was obsessed with art and loved watching art movies. In one of the movies, the president said to a beautiful female member: "Miko-san, you don't want anything unexpected to happen to your promotion report, right?"

Then, a story unfolded in the office.

Recalling that artistic clip, Pei Zhenren felt inexplicably ashamed.

The magical power that women are made of water further strengthened his mind: he must never bow his head at such a time.

So Pei Yin said: "I will go to the Great Northern Wilderness tomorrow. If Shopkeeper Xu is interested, I will wait for you."

"Beidahuang?" Xu Suyan was shocked when she heard this: "That is a dangerous place where one could die at any time."

Pei Yin showed a bit of arrogance: "I like to travel, take risks, and go to places I haven't been to before. Women who date me also need to be brave enough."

After a pause, he cupped his hands and said, "Shopkeeper Xu doesn't have to come. I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

Xu Suyan was stunned on the spot, her expression changing unpredictably.

Her threats were met with counter-threats.

The female shopkeeper understood the implication: If you want to make progress with me, you have to walk the tightrope with me. Do you dare?

Now the problem was thrown to Xu Suyan. She had to seriously consider whether to go to Beidahuang tomorrow.

……

There are two barracks officers in the night watchman camp, who are equivalent to dormitory administrators.

The barracks officer who manages the senior dormitory is named Zhu Laoliu. Since there are not many people living in the senior dormitory, his life is quite leisurely.

Senior night watchmen also have the privilege of allowing relatives to visit.

Those who visit relatives must report to Zhu Laoliu and verify that they are present before they can see each other.

Under the afternoon sun, Pei Yin had just returned to the camp when Zhu Laoliu came over and said, "Master Pei, someone is looking for you, saying he is a relative from your hometown."

"Oh, could you please Master Zhu to take me to see it?" Pei Yin saw through it but refused to say anything.

There are no relatives in his hometown.

Besides, his hometown is far away in another world.

After a while, Pei Yin met his "relatives from his hometown".

She was an ordinary middle-aged woman with an unremarkable figure.

When she saw Pei Yin, she was very enthusiastic: "Cousin, you are finally back."

The cousin also showed a surprised expression: "It turns out to be my eldest cousin. I haven't seen you for a long time. Come on, come on, come and sit in my yard."

After speaking, he took his cousin away and Zhu Laoliu did not stop her.

Returning to the Sixty-Nine Dormitory, Pei Yin led the middle-aged woman into a side room, and his face immediately turned pale: "If you are not in Longyuan to be your priest, what are you doing here?"

The cousin immediately opened up the alchemy domain, and a man and a woman were covered in the awe-inspiring Judgment Temple.

The appearance of the middle-aged woman changed rapidly, and her figure also changed. She gradually turned into a beautiful and arrogant woman, exuding an indifferent temperament.

The person who came was surprisingly Long Ziyi!

Facing Mr. Pei, Long Ziyi's aloofness turned into weakness: "Mr. Pei, I know you hate me. This matter is very important, related to your life and safety. Please listen to what I have to say."

"Say it." When Pei Lang heard that his life was in danger, it was necessary for Pei Lang to listen.

"I received news that after the snowfall in a few days, someone is going to take advantage of the heavy snow to get rid of you." Long Ziyi's tone was urgent, and his concern was beyond words.

"Priest Dragon is joking. This is the home ground of General Wushuang. I can't think of anyone who would be stupid enough to come to the Night Watch camp to kill me." Pei Yin didn't appreciate it.

"Not at the Night Watch Camp, but when you are on night watch, we will attack at the Evernight Great Wall."

Long Ziyi became even more anxious: "Pei Lang, my source of information is absolutely reliable. The unparalleled general said that the night watchman can only die fighting on the Great Wall. If you are killed on the Great Wall, she will at most report to the court and posthumously recognize you as a martyr. ."

Pei Yin thought of Su Qiqi, the female assassin who had always been twenty steps away from him during night vigils in the past four months.

With such a close distance and no imprisoned divine power, if the other party makes a sudden attack, it is really possible to succeed. "Who wants to kill me?" Pei Yin asked.

After a battle between heaven and man, Long Ziyi struggled to say two words: "Dark Palace."

"I heard that the Dark Hall is responsible for supervising you senior priests. You are essentially two departments. How did you know?" Pei Yin asked.

"Pei Lang, when you and I parted in a hurry, I didn't have time to tell you some things."

"I'm afraid if I don't say anything, I won't have a chance in this life."

"My ancestor Long Wuji was the first generation master of the temples."

"Although my Long family is now in decline, we have also received some blessings left by our ancestors."

"The confidant who was cultivated by my great-grandfather once served as the leader of the Great Zhou Dark Hall. Later, he retired and joined the Temple Elders Council."

"Outsiders don't know the existence of the Presbyterian Council. In fact, the great priests and secret hall leaders who have retired from the temple have nominally lived in seclusion in the mountains, but in fact they have entered the Presbyterian Council and have great say."

"The elder came to me some time ago and revealed some secrets. I didn't know until that day that it turned out that Miao Lihui, the boss of Xinglong Pawnshop in the black market, was the leader of the Great Zhou Dark Hall of this generation."

"After intense discussions within the Council of Elders, the final decision was made: The leader of the Dark Hall holds a high position and cannot die in such an unexplained manner. Otherwise, everyone in the world will look down on the Dark Hall, and the temples will lose their face."

"They want to use your head to save their face."

When Long Ziyi said this, he sweated for Pei Lang.

In order to further prove the female military advisor Shuang'er's inference, Pei Yin asked tentatively: "In that case, why isn't I wanted in the temple?"

Long Ziyi said: "It's still a matter of face. The Great Priest Ouyang has publicly rewarded you with a token to communicate with the gods and recognized your status as a distinguished guest in the temple. You must not break your promise and let the majority of believers poke their spines."

"So, if the temple wants to deal with you, it can only be assassinated through the dark hall."

"In addition to supervising senior priests, the Dark Palace is also responsible for handling some shady matters."

An invisible pressure made Pei Yin breathless.

His enemies have upgraded from the Nine-Life Demon King to the current pantheon of gods.

This is a behemoth whose belief unites Beiju Luzhou and is said to be able to communicate with the gods in the heavens.

The great priests and dark hall commanders of the past dynasties all joined the Council of Elders after retirement. You can imagine how hidden dragons and crouching tigers the temples are, and the overall strength is terrifyingly powerful.

He took a deep breath and asked: "When will the Dark Palace take action?"

Long Ziyi replied: "I don't know the specific time. For the sake of my great-grandfather, the elder said a little bit that you won't survive this winter."

Pei Yin asked again: "Who is responsible for taking action?"

Long Ziyi shook his head helplessly: "I only know that Andian is responsible, but I don't know who it is."

Speaking of this, she said worriedly: "Pei Lang, before the snow season has come, you should leave quickly and go back to your Dongsheng Divine Continent. The hands of the gods can't reach there, and the green mountains are left, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood." burn."

Pei Yin did not express his position and looked at Long Ziyi seriously: "As a senior priest, you should know better than me. What you just said to me is tantamount to betraying the temple."

Long Ziyi's eyebrows showed determination: "Since I dare to come, I have prepared for the worst."

Pei Yin said coldly: "Then tell me, what is the worst plan?"

Long Ziyi resolutely said: "Don't worry, I can't die. After all, my ancestor is the first generation of the temple master. Even if the temple is not satisfied with me, at best, I will be dismissed from my position and put under house arrest for life."

Pei Yin's expression became even colder: "Why did that elder suddenly tell you these secrets?"

Long Ziyi sighed softly: "Because of you and I teamed up to deal with the blood demon, and we got the divine token together. The elder kindly reminded me and asked me to sever ties with you, but I can't do it. If you are no longer here , my life in this world has no meaning anymore.”

Pei Yin was moved: "You stupid woman, you took such a big risk to come to see me. You are risking your career on this meeting!"

Long Ziyi blurted out: "Yes, I am very stupid. I am so stupid that you proposed to me, but I was hesitant. In the past few months, I hate myself every day, why I have to look forward and backward, and why I didn't elope with you. You have so much courage, but you still hate yourself...well."

Before she finished speaking, Cherry's little mouth was blocked.

The following story is a bit literary.

Sometimes, when you give your heart to someone, you can't take it back.

Sometimes, if you are approved to a person, you will only recognize that person.
