"How could this be?"

"What do you say?"

"I didn't expect it."

"No, you thought of it, but you didn't want to believe it."

"Yes, I thought about it, but the facts should be somewhat different from what I thought."

"It turns out that you also think so clearly."

"It seems that in the past... I just thought that I understood the most, right?"

"Haha, well, you are the big brother!"

Xu Luo and Huangfu Chongzhi were sitting on the bank of the river, the night breeze was cool, and the river flowed quietly in front of them.

Beside the two of them, there were two jugs of wine, but no food.

Huangfu sighed at him, and said: "I still don't quite believe that he will belong to Emperor Father, how should I put it...I have been afraid of him since I was a child, and I didn't dare to get too close to him. He doesn't like me either, hehe, maybe he thinks it's embarrassing to have an emperor's eldest son like me..."

"I was too young at the time, and I didn't understand why it was like this, and the difference between me and other brothers, why other brothers were held in the palm of their hands and cared for with all their heart, while I... could only Under the torment of the eunuchs and mothers...grow up in pain."

"Later, I started working hard, studying hard, and practicing martial arts. I thought that if I was a good boy, my father might...maybe like me. So I kept working hard, kept smiling, and kept myself straight Chest, be useful."

"Later, when I was fourteen or fifteen years old, I understood more and understood my own identity, so I became very low-key, and began to focus on my favorite animals and plants, began to study medicine, and started alchemy ..."

Huangfu Chongzhi's voice was a little low, with a bit of self-deprecation in his tone, and then he said: "Until the few of us achieved some achievements in the southern battlefield, it was thanks to you that our fame was even greater than before. My father's attitude towards me is gradually changing. My father has been the emperor for so many years. He is a real emperor. Even those of us who are sons can't figure out his thoughts, but what happened today ...I just can't figure out why he's doing this."

"You can't figure it out because you are in this situation and he is your father's man. There is no need to doubt this matter anymore, but the most important question is who is he representing!" Xu Luo grabbed Passed the flagon and took a sip.

Huangfu Chongzhi glanced at Xu Luo with some doubts, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked seriously: "You mean..."

"Well, the identity of this person, I think someone deliberately misled him, and I just thought of it." Xu Luo said, picked up a stone from his side, and threw it into the river.

The stone made a splash, splashed a spray, then sank into the river and disappeared.

"Just like this stone, it exists in itself, but I threw it into the river now, except for the moment it touched the water, it made a little sound of its own and splashed a little bit of waves , now... where are you going to find this stone?"

"Then why do you want me to kill him?" Huangfu asked.

"If he doesn't die, it will be even more troublesome. Who should we hold accountable? The emperor? Or the crown prince, or the sixth prince?" Xu Luo said.

Huangfu smiled wryly at him, and said: "Indeed, if this person hadn't said the last words, perhaps we could have kept him alive, but after he knew we wanted to kill him, he yelled those words... just There's no way out."

"I suddenly felt that the most likely thing about this matter was for me." Huangfu Chongzhi said, "Although I'm just guessing, I feel...my guess is very close to the facts."

"It is indeed aimed at the two of us. The opponent's move is very clever. If it succeeds, there will be two less confidantes; if it fails...it doesn't matter. The person on the left and right looks like your father's emperor." Xu Luo said .

"I've already stayed away from that circle and all kinds of disputes among them, why...why do I still have to be involved? What else do they worry about?" Huangfu Chong was rare, with a look of anger on his face.

"Don't think about it, as long as you are alive, as long as you are getting better every day, they will not feel at ease." Xu Luo said.

"If it is really possible to escape from the world, I really want to completely stay away from these right and wrong." Huangfu Chongzhi looked at the river quietly flowing in front of him, and said softly: "Is it really so difficult to be carefree? ?”

"Is it difficult?" A crisp, slightly cold voice came from not far away.

A hint of surprise appeared on Huangfu Chongzhi's face, and he asked, "Why is the girl here?"

Xu Luo didn't show any surprise at all. He didn't know when the white-clothed woman came. The other party was very powerful, so he couldn't sense her aura at all.

But Xu Luo has a pair of eyes that can penetrate obstacles...

Just inadvertently, Xu Luo had discovered the woman in white hiding not far away. Although she didn't know why she followed her here, she didn't feel any malice from her.

Especially today, she made a move to save Huangfu Chong's life, so Xu Luo didn't change his expression and let her listen there.

Deep down in his heart, Xu Luo always felt that there was a very detached aura about the woman in white.

Not to mention that even if he wanted to do something, he probably wouldn't be a match for the woman in white.

"You guys are being ambushed and hunted down everywhere. I'm a little worried, so I'll follow you over here to have a look." The woman in white said very naturally, and then walked out of her hiding place.

"Miss and I are not relatives, but I have not thanked you for saving my life today." Huangfu said to him, stood up, and wanted to salute the woman in white.

"No, I'll pay you back for saving you today." Although the voice of the woman in white was cold, it gave off a very real feeling. .

"Hehe, my favor of ten taels of silver...is really enough." Huangfu Chongzhi didn't expect this woman to be so straightforward, and said with a smile: "It's not difficult for a girl to be carefree. But those of us who live in the secular world are full of distracting thoughts, how can we be carefree?"

At this time, Huangfu Chongzhi also felt the difference in the woman in white. It is almost impossible for a secular woman to possess her kind of skill, let alone her refined temperament!

"Who said that I will be carefree when I am in this realm? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to have no money when eating?" The woman in white said in a crisp voice, and glanced at Huangfu Chongzhi: "I don't think you need to do this world-weary..."

"World-weary?" Huangfu was stunned and said, "Maybe..."

Xu Luo twitched the corner of her mouth, stood aside and said, "I seem to think that standing here...is it redundant?"

The woman in white glanced at him and nodded: "It's a little bit."

"Okay then, I'll dodge, you guys continue..." After saying that, Xu Luo turned and walked away without hesitation.

Huangfu Chongzhi was a little caught off guard, looking at Xu Luo's back: "Isn't this good?"

"I think it's good." Xu Luo even took up the lug step, swayed his figure, and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

The woman in white looked at Xu Luo's back, and said thoughtfully, "Your brother is very strong."

"Yes, he is very strong!" Huangfu said to him.

"No, when we say strong, we don't mean the same thing." The woman in white said seriously: "He has a very special aura about him, and this kind of aura is very rare even among sect disciples."

"Really? I don't know about that." Huangfu smiled at him and asked, "I don't know the girl's name yet..."

……

Early the next morning, when Xu Luo saw Huangfu rushing to him, he showed a strange smile: "The chat was not bad?"

"You boy..." Huangfu smiled embarrassedly at him.

The little fat man leaned over curiously: "What's the deal?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Xu Luo pulled the little fat man away: "I'm studying city building with me, and we just happen to have a lot of people at our disposal!"

"Third brother, you can't do this, you and elder brother have something to hide from me!" The little fat man argued hard.

Sui Yan, who was looking at the blueprint, rolled his eyes: "Idiot!"

"Damn, Sui Xiaoshi, I'm your fourth brother, if you scold me again, I'll turn against you!"

"Come on, I just want to try how a sixth-level swordsman can suppress a fifth-level swordsman..."

"Third brother, let me go, I want to teach this lawless guy a lesson!"

"Stop talking nonsense, the task of cleaning up those prisoners and letting them work hard is very difficult!" Xu Luo said solemnly.

"..." The little fat man looked up at the sky, "What kind of brothers are I?"

This group of captives was very obedient. After seeing the strength of Xu Luo and others, they completely lost the idea of ​​fighting. Besides, the main general is dead, and the remaining people like them, being disobedient is no different from courting death.

After half a month passed, the prototype of a castle appeared here.

Sui Yan frowned every day, commanding these captives, giving full play to his talent in organ learning, setting up many organs, even Xu Luo was a little speechless, and had to remind Sui Yan: "This is our fief castle. Not a fortress of war!"

The building materials were all shipped from far away, and Tang Yong, Li Yu and the Yuan brothers were in charge of these things.

Everything seems to be very peaceful.

No one came here to harass anything.

On the contrary, the woman in white, who disappeared every day during the day, would come here at night to sit and chat with Huangfu Chongzhi by the river.

Gradually, the little fat man and others also knew about this matter. For this reason, the little fat man teased and said: "The boss's spring is here..." He was caught by Huangfu Chongzhi and taught him a lesson. The fat man began to practice diligently.

Huangfu Chongzhi did have some strange feelings for this woman in white who appeared every night. Apart from knowing her name was Li Yueru, he knew nothing about her identity and never inquired about her.

Li Yueru's temperament is cold and frank, she doesn't pretend to talk to Xu Luo and others, but she seems to have a special regard for Huangfu, and occasionally eats with this group of people, but she hardly talks to other people.

Another half month has passed, and the castle on the fief has all been capped.

Only the interior decoration is left, which is not something that can be completed in a short time.

Those captives who had completed their tasks felt a little uneasy, because... the work was done, but they didn't know what fate awaited them.
