The evening breeze blows across the willow bank, and silent ripples appear on the lake surface. The unconscious fish poke out of the water, spitting bubbles and wandering quietly. Everything in the valley is always a little earlier. The flowers that bloom quietly at night, with a little fragrance, slip into the room through the cracks of the window.

Su Xin in the outer room felt the breeze was cool in her sleep. She turned over and tucked the corner of her quilt again. She thought in a daze that it would be better not to let someone change the bed curtain to a gauze tent so quickly.

Before I woke up, I sneeze. As soon as I wanted to get up, I felt confused. I thought I had caught a cold last night.

Gu Qingyan came over when she heard the sound. Seeing Su Xin's face was not very good, she reached out to put her hand on her forehead, and her forehead was hot. Gu Qingyan hurriedly called someone else to go to Baicaotang to find someone.

"Master." Su Xin said the first sentence, with a hoarse voice, and she felt really uncomfortable.

Gu Qingyan stopped letting her speak and sat beside her bed: "It's okay, I'm not in the yard today, so you can rest."

As he said that, he pressed Su Xin back to the bed, wrapped her quilt tightly, and asked if there was any other uncomfortable part. Su Xin shook her head, and Gu Qingyan was relieved.

Looking back, I saw that the windows in the outer room were half open, and I thought, although it was already the alternation of winter and spring, the wind was still cold in the morning and evening. It was not good to blame Su Xin for not paying attention. She walked over and closed the window first.

It happened that Shen Sanniang came to deliver breakfast. When she learned about this, she said that she would cook ginger soup and then deliver it to her.

Gu Qingyan said, "Husband, I'm going to Shimen today. I'll be very worried about Su Xin Sanniang in the yard."

Shen Sanniang responded: "Where is the master, please take care of each other's what we should do."

Su Xin also thanked Shen Sanniang on the side, and thought that no one would dress up Gu Qingyan, so she would get up no matter how she said that.

Gu Qingyan had to press Su Xin back and said, "You can lie down well. I am not in a day or two. If you go for a while, you have to lie down for a few more days."

After saying that, he entered the house and cleaned up himself. Gu Qingyan was not a woman after all. She took her hair, dressed up and changed her clothes neatly. It would be fine in a short while.

After breakfast, they went to Yunlanyuan to find Baili Mo, and the two of them went to the stone gate together.

It was still the main hall of the stone gate, with lights lit in groups of three or three, not too bright, but just just enough to see clearly.

Baili Mo walked around behind the screen on the side of the main hall. Gu Qingyan sat down, and Dongqing came in to report.

"See master, the third master."

"How was the situation yesterday?" Gu Qingyan asked.

Holly: "Back to my master, they didn't touch yesterday's meal."

Gu Qingyan nodded. This was something she expected. If these people were not calm enough in just one day, they would have spoken long ago. Why did she need to worry about it?

"Okay, I get it, bring the person up."

"Yes." After saying that, Dongqing waved to the door. After a while, Dongran brought people there.

Today's man was a little nervous and uneasy when he got up, which was beyond Gu Qingyan's expectations. Just as she was thinking about how to speak, she saw Dong Xuan holding the candlelight and lit up the originally dark lights in the hall.

It was a little dazzling for a moment. Gu Qingyan turned his head and slowed down. When she turned around again, she found that the person in front of her had been slowed down. Gu Qingyan thought of something, sat back on the chair, looked at the screen, and saw Baili Mo nodding at her side, and then she started her performance.

Rather than saying that she is asking questions, it is better to say that she is betting against the person opposite, and she is betting who they compromise first. Her compromise is nothing more than taking action directly, while the other party's compromise is to tell Gu Qingyan everything she wants to know.

"What day is today? Actually, yesterday I was thinking, what would he do if your boss didn't get your news? Fortunately, I don't have to guess, someone will tell me, and I just need to do what I can do."

Gu Qingyan said playfully, the meaning in his words was ambiguous, leaving the man to secretly guess.

I walked to a lamp leisurely, signaled Holly to take off the lampshade, pulled out the hairpin from my head, and played with the beating flames.

It turns out that some people are afraid of light, some are afraid of darkness, some are afraid of crowds, and some are afraid of being alone.

Gu Qingyan suddenly talked about this hall, which was like a story telling. Except for her, everyone here was spectators.

"The stone gate is already deep in the Peach Blossom Stream, backed by the jungle and mountains. Once, I thought that no one who was so desperate would come to visit the mountains, but now, I still have to sigh at you."

"This hall was originally a bright light, but sometimes it was so clear that it would make people dazzled and make people unable to see their hearts."

As she said that, Gu Qingyan pressed off the lamp beside her. She stood sideways, half of her face bright and half of her face sinking into the darkness. She turned her head to look at the person in the hall with a cold look.

"What did you say you can do?" This was the man's first sentence.

Although Gu Qingyan didn't expect that he could speak like this, she was not surprised. Everyone had a psychological defense line, and this person was just a little bit shallow.

He smiled at him: "I, Gu Qingyan, only do transactions."

"What about one life for another?" He thought for a while, and now it seems that he can only change it like this.

Who would have thought that Gu Qingyan would smile coldly after hearing this: "Fate? Now I want your life as if I kill an ant, your value is not here."

"I don't know much."

Gu Qingyan shook her head, walked to him, squatted down and leveled with his eyes: "I don't want to know much, who are you?"

"A killer."

Gu Qingyan shook her head, turned her back, and ignored her. She just flipped her sleeves and the lights in front of her right side went out a few more times. The air began to smell after the light was burned, and there was a scent of something that seemed to be there and nothing.

After smelling it, he felt a little sleepy and his body was soft. He was a killer. He could know what this was. He was silent. It would be impossible to fulfill his wish if he could do so.

But Gu Qingyan's next words made his back feel cold: "But you don't even have the ability to kill yourself now, and your life and death are in my hands."

This may be the greatest pain for a person on the verge of despair. He cannot control his own life and has an unknown fear of what is going to happen.

"You are not the ones who are all the same, but have been summoned to give orders. Although I don't know what they have used to make all the five masters obey your orders, I know that seeing me today is your last chance to struggle."

Although Gu Qingyan can spend time with them, this is not very meaningful.

Perhaps one of the words said to the point, the man looked up at Gu Qingyan's side face. His mask was cold, and even the dazzling golden **ze could not give people a warm feeling.

He remembered that when they first went to the inn designated by the top, there was a gentleman in the inn talking about some interesting things about the dynasty. One of them was about a princess wearing a mask.

But the difference between the story and reality is that the Emperor in the story has always lived in the deep palace, while the Emperor in reality is dominating the world.

"I went to Duzhong because I received a scattered jade pendant. This jade pendant was a token. It was originally a whole domineering look, but I don't know who divided it into six, but we know that anyone who saw this token would have to complete the task of carrying this token."

The man whispered, Gu Qingyan listened, and looked at Dongqing when he heard the token. Dongqing was sure that they had not found anything, so he shook his head firmly at Gu Qingyan.

Gu Qingyan asked: "Where is the jade pendant?"

"In case, the token was identified by someone else, and the token was taken back when he went to the city to meet."

"Where did you pass on the token from?"

"I don't know about them. I was told by my righteous brother. He said that the man had kindness to him. Since he could no longer repay his kindness, I would do it for him."

Gu Qingyan thought, it seemed that this thing was not that simple to guess.

"You have arrived at the capital and saw that person?"

"I saw it, but I think the person we met was just an errand runner."

“How to say it?”

"The person's dress is not only decent and can be described as exquisite, but the feeling of talking to us is like passing a message. The fourth girl should know that people's clothes can change, but their temperament and behaviors are not easy to change."

He was giving Gu Qingyan some hints, but his last sentence changed his tone.

After hearing this, Gu Qingyan turned to look at him and instantly understood that the person who passed the message to them was probably from the palace.

Gu Qingyan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Let me tell me what you want me to do first?"

"After leaving my brother, I left a wife and a son, and soon my sister-in-law also left due to illness, leaving a son alone. Before I went to Duzhong, I handed the child over to my neighbors for care. Now..."

Gu Qingyan looked at Dongqing and asked, "Where is it?"

"The silver willow land is all the same as the home."

"Holly. Send someone here."

"yes."

Dongqing left the hall, picked up three or two reliable people, gave an order, and asked them to wait until the night before setting off. Then he turned back into the hall and nodded at Gu Qingyan.

The kneeling man saw Dongqing turning back in a flash, and half of his heart was wondering whether they had really done this, and half of them were afraid of it. If they really took someone to do it, then they would be an organization with a great network and resources.

Gu Qingyan glanced at him sideways, guessing that his thoughts were seven or eight, and he sneered without saying a word.

"What did they ask you to do?"

Emotionless questions come quietly, and it is time to ask something important.

The man lowered his head, his slightly messy hair hanging on both sides of his cheeks. At this point, it was meaningless to pretend to be a righteous man, not to mention that he was not a righteous man himself.

He smiled bitterly, looked up at the only candlelight, his eyes condensed, as if he wanted to see through something, and then answered Gu Qingyan: "I'll believe what I said after that, please believe me."

Gu Qingyan looked at Zhuhuo according to his eyes, and then looked at him again. His eyes gradually became empty, and his lips, which had begun to turn white, opened and closed, and even said something he was confused inside.

"Let's investigate the situation in Taohuajian separately, how many people, how many affairs are there, who are in contact with, and what people are there in the stone gate, and we must report them one by one..."

Gu Qingyan frowned. What is this and what? Before we could think about it, we listened again: "The fourth girl doesn't need to be confused. Our ultimate goal is to record the situation in Taohuajian one by one and send it back. Even if we ourselves only know how to write down everything we have found, we don't know anything else."

"What about what you wrote?" Gu Qingyan grabbed the point of what he said and then asked.

The man said, "Before being arrested, one of us went down the mountain, and the booklet had either been sent out or was hidden under the mountain."

His voice gradually became weak, and he started to breathe a little after speaking. His kneeling body seemed to feel weak, but after all, he was a martial arts practitioner and could still hold on after discovering it.

He looked up at Gu Qingyan and the people in the hall. These people were not affected at all and sighed silently.

After hearing his words, Dongqing was already thinking in his heart. No wonder they searched through the valley and inside and outside the back mountain, but could not find a trace of it. Combined with the most important thing, they had already left their search range. When they thought of this, Dongqing hurriedly knelt down: "Master, please forgive me, my subordinates will send someone to investigate."

Gu Qingyan nodded and asked Holly to go. This time, Holly did not turn back, and Holly was left in the hall to serve.

"How long is the deadline he gives you?"

“In one month.”
