Every time I wake up, I take the blame for the villain

The night was dark.

Several fully loaded carriages passed through the wilderness, leaving only a series of dull sounds of rolling over thick soil.

The road was bumpy.

Strange silence, strange moonlight.

A burst of noise and killing passed, blood was scattered everywhere.

Horses and money were all taken away.

In troubled times, wars and bandits were everywhere.

Military force is the most important thing to protect life in the rivers and lakes.

Jiang Chen closed his eyes and lay on the bed. He turned over, and many illusory pictures flashed back and forth in the darkness after closing his eyes. They were so clear and vivid, so dark and depressing. They were everything he had experienced. Even if he repeatedly told himself that he didn't need to dwell on the past, he couldn't avoid thinking of those not-so-good memories.

After a long silence, he still opened his eyes.

All the illusions and confusions disappeared like flowers in the mirror and moon in the water. Sometimes it makes people question whether it is true or not, but Jiang Chen knows that those things, whether right or wrong, are all true.

The green curtain beside the bed fluttered, he opened his eyes and looked at the darkness above his head, his black pupils were fixed, and suddenly fell into a blank void.

Yan saw his state, but became more and more disciplined. He had no doubt that if someone saw Wang Yifeng's loss of consciousness and chose to attack, they would inevitably die unclearly. He had never seen such a person. Even when he was confused, his body was in a state of alert to fight back at all times, as if he was always on guard against everything around him, as if the surroundings were always cliffs of life and death for him.

Jiang Chen got up. He opened the window, and when the cool breeze blew in, his expression seemed to be clearer.

Since he met Ai Li, someone has been following him, and Jiang Chen is not unaware of it. But the person who came named Yan, which was indeed a little unexpected.

On this side, Yan was more surprised. When ordinary people saw him born as a man, but always wearing women's clothes, they all looked at him with strange contempt. He was the first person who saw him and saw him just like ordinary people. It was just a moment of surprise, that was just the surprise of suddenly hearing a stranger wanted to follow him.

If he is not really well-informed, then he is very cunning. In Yan's opinion, those who become the master of the Evil Valley in a short time should be more of the second type. No matter how calm and gentle this master has been these days.

Jiang Chen would naturally not be surprised. In the original plot, Yan volunteered to join the Evil Valley and became one of the ten evil men in the Evil Valley. Looking at the time, Yan should have entered the Evil Valley long ago. He did not come, and Jiang Chen was too lazy to care.

His appearance this time was quite different from the original encounter between Wang Yifeng and Yan. Maybe he had his own thoughts about joining, but as long as it did not involve too much, Jiang Chen would naturally not refuse him.

Yan escaped during the Five Poisons Rebellion and hid behind Ai Li and others.

When he saw Jiang Chen, the Wang Yifeng who was rumored to have massacred Zigong and was known as the Snow Demon, he immediately decided to retreat.

The Evil Valley has been integrating and developing in the past few years, and the White Dao has long been preparing for a counterattack. Tiance Zhang Zhiyuan, Changge Zhai Jizhen and others have been secretly prepared, but they temporarily put the matter aside when the sudden family and national turmoil came.

There is no doubt that after the Nanzhao rebellion was quelled, the struggle between black and white is inevitable.

Wang Yifeng is definitely not a person who can be easily influenced, and is calmer than Zhang Zhiyuan. Since his good colleague and good brother insists on sticking to the ridiculous justice and assisting Zhang Zhiyuan, then Yan will enter the Evil Valley and follow Wang Yifeng.

He wants to see who is better between the two of them. At the beginning, Senior Tang was still the leader of the alliance, and both the black and white sides of the Jianghu bought his face, and the status of the Tang Sect was far from what it is now. He suddenly left the position of the leader of the martial arts world and disappeared in his prime, causing panic among the people. If the old lady had not supported the Tang Sect, it would have been inevitable that it would have fallen into decline. In recent years, the giant Jiutian has gradually surfaced. The entire martial arts world and the world are actually controlled by nine people. Yan knew that the disappearance of the predecessor must be related to this matter.

Tang Jian is a serious, responsible and broad-minded person. He has always believed that the martial arts world belongs to everyone, and everyone's choice determines his path in the martial arts world. As the leader of the martial arts world, he must not allow the world to be controlled by others.

At that time, the Yinyuan Society, which was known for its omniscience, was developing. The Tang Sect selected two hidden and outstanding genius disciples to take the opportunity to infiltrate and investigate his news, and they have always claimed to be traitors to the outside world. Even though the two sacrificed so much, they still found nothing after years of investigation.

Since the two left the Tang Sect, they lost their names as Tang Sect disciples. From now on, they are like the name Yanying, ethereal and traceless.

They are brothers and rivals, from Tang Sect to Yinyuan Society. As an elder brother, he is always angry at his rebellious dress, and as a younger brother, he is even more disdainful of his so-called instruction and control.

This time, Yan will prove that he is no worse than Ying. Wang Yifeng is his choice.

Three months ago, he sneaked into Wudu. This sect has always lived in Bashu, self-sufficient, and clearly separated from the Central Plains. Especially many years ago, the leader of the Wudu Sect, Mosha Luo, didn't know what he complained about, and suddenly issued a strict order to prohibit his tribesmen from interacting with the Han people. Since then, Wudu has almost no contact with the Central Plains, and the Wudu, which was originally isolated, has become more mysterious.

Years ago, Zhao Gongshang, the second disciple of Taibai of Changge Sect, suddenly disappeared in Bashu and there was no news. Then Nanzhao started an uprising and Wudu split. Changge Sect and the Zhao family were worried. After finding Yinyuan Society, Yan went to Wudu in person.

Even though he was usually alert, he almost died in this dangerous place. If it weren't for the sober Murong Zhuifeng and... Miss Tang Shuyan's help, I'm afraid Yan would no longer exist in the world.

Born as a human, but tortured by such evil magic to the point of losing his human form, he is probably as good as dead.

As for Zhao Gongshang, there is still no trace of him.

Thinking of the current complicated situation, Yan felt a headache.

"Yan?"

The call made him sober up. He came down from the door beam outside the house and bowed slightly, "Yes, Valley Master."

"Where is Wen Xiaoxi staying?"

"Fufeng County. The one who received him was the Taifu Mansion, no, it should be said that the people from the Zhennan General Mansion."

Jiang Chen looked at the bright moon for a long time, and his tone was indistinguishable, "Xia Ziqian?"

Yan nodded, "Yes." He didn't understand. Xia Ziqian was obviously an important official of the court, but for some reason, he had to make things difficult for Wang Yifeng.

It is not true that Xia Ziqian hated evil. When Li Linfu targeted Zhang Jiuling, he just watched from the sidelines. Whether it was because of Zhang Wanyu or other barriers, his behavior was somewhat indifferent.

"Xia Ziqian's life."

Yan just thought for a moment and said, "He was the only son of the Xia family in Henan Province. His ancestors had served as the governor of Pingyao. He was promoted for his good political achievements during his tenure. Unfortunately, he lost his integrity in his later years and was dismissed for corruption. He died of illness soon after."

Jiang Chen said nothing.

Yan frowned, "But what's wrong?"

Jiang Chen straightened his clothes and showed a faint smile on his face, "Do you remember the first question you asked me?"

Yan was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, "Could this matter be related to Xia Ziqian?"

"Seeing is believing, hearing is false. I wanted to visit him long before."

The night had fallen, the clouds and fog were thick, and it seemed that a storm was coming.

Chengdu was quiet and silent, with only the patrolling generals still standing at their posts, and the sound of armor could be heard from time to time.

In the gloomy night, the bleak moonlight fell from the gaps in the clouds, and the magnificent Protectorate in the daytime was hidden in the shadows, with flying eaves and corners, and extraordinary momentum.

In the shade of the high roof of the gatehouse, a shallow shadow sat in the shadows, silent and motionless.

When the moonlight was slightly bright, it was clear that it was a man with ink-stained white clothes and wide sleeves, and a calm and peaceful expression as always.

It was Wang Yifeng, the culprit who created the Tang Dynasty ghost domain with his own hands, who was well-known and hated by people.

Jiang Chen.

He clasped his fingertips on the edge of the flying eaves, clasped them slightly, and thought about something, then retracted his gaze from the meeting room facing the dark, where the lights were dimly lit, and his figure flashed and disappeared on the gatehouse.

Yan, who followed, had a distorted face, and hurriedly followed without even taking a breath. His lightness skill was also one of the best, but he was actually inferior to the Valley Master. And it seems that he is still at ease, not using his full strength at all.

He fell into the shadow of the roof of the meeting hall, motionless, as if he really merged with the night, stretched out his hand to lift a tile, and listened quietly.

There were shadows on both sides, and the valley master might have been in the house.

Not long after, he heard someone talking below, and the more he listened, the more strange Yan felt.

Xia Ziqian held the document in his hand and looked at the light for a long time, only to feel dizzy, and casually rolled it up and slapped it on the head, only to feel depressed and sighed, "It's really difficult."

Wen Xiaoxi almost died in the Valley of Evil.

I still remember that Wang Yifeng loved Wen Xiaoyue very much, and Xiaosha fanned the flames, and slaughtered Zigong when he was angry. Why would such a sentimental man let Wen Xiaoxi, who looks exactly like Wen Xiaoyue, go his own way? What kind of place is the Valley of Evil? He was so generous that he actually left Wen Xiaoxi, a woman, in the valley. Was he overconfident in his prestige?

It was ridiculous!

Little did he know that under that elegant and gentle skin, there was a soul that was indifferent to the world. Thousands of years of wandering were enough to wear out anyone's enthusiasm for the world. How could the world be so cruel to people?

Even if the memories overlapped, Jiang Chen would never be like the passionate Wang Yifeng, who betrayed the world for love. Wen Xiaoyue was just Wang Yifeng's emotional sustenance.

After a while, he heard him talking to himself, "That woman has brought back the news. The Evil Valley is in chaos. Wang Yifeng is calm despite the huge changes. There is no news that he has set out to return to the valley. He is too arrogant. Humph."

"That's good. First, take down his backer. When the time comes, with the power of this general in the court, how can I be afraid of this little Jianghu duckweed."

On the roof, Yan Zai carefully checked the lobby and did not see any trace of Jiang Chen. When he heard this, he couldn't help but sneer. He didn't know how wonderful Xia Ziqian's expression would be if he knew that Wang Yifeng, whom he was scheming, was now by his side.

However, it should be reasonable that this person and the Valley Master, one in the court and the other in the Jianghu, would not be involved. Why would Xia Daqian be so angry with the Valley Master and wish to get rid of him as soon as possible?

Whether Wang Yifeng returns to the valley or not, he will die. If he comes back, it's a good opportunity to catch him in a trap. If he doesn't come back, then we'll destroy his reliance on the Evil Valley first.

In short, he must die first.

Xia Daqian sneered and slammed the document on the table, gnashing his teeth as he spoke, "As for Nanzhao! Humph, he became arrogant after being treated well. That bastard Wu Menggui took Jiao Ming for research, and now he doesn't recognize his master. If I don't kill him, I won't be named Xia!"

There was a strange silence.

Yan on the roof frowned deeply. As an important official of the Tang Dynasty, why was Xia Ziqian involved with Wu Menggui, the elder of the Five Poisons.

He keenly felt that something was wrong. Could it be related to the split of the Five Poison Sect?

The voices in the room suddenly became excited, "Wang Yifeng, Wang Yifeng! I know, the point is him. I naturally know. You don't have to remind me so often! I have my own sense of proportion."

He was talking to himself like this, as if he were talking to someone in front of him. Under such dim light, his face gradually became ferocious, becoming dark and terrifying.

"Hmph! The Valley of the Evil is in chaos, and it will be difficult for him as the owner of the valley to live in peace. There is also the restraint from the Western Region, so he has no time to cause trouble for us! By the time he returns, it will be a dead end, and no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to save himself. By then, In the vast world, he is nothing but a rogue."

Yan felt even more strange. He looked back and forth in the house again, but found no trace of anyone else. Why does Xia Ziqian seem to be talking to someone?

The lights in the house flickered, going off and on,

Before he finished speaking, two words suddenly came to his ears, "Really?"

The tone was extremely calm, as if it was just a casual question from a stranger.

But this sound is so frightening.

Xia Ziqian froze and turned his head following the sound, a bone-chilling chill rising from the soles of his feet.

Xia Ziqian will definitely not be able to forget this voice for several more lifetimes.

Wang Yifeng!

His panic was so obvious that Yan could easily feel it without even looking.

If it was a stranger, he should be confused and question him at this moment, but he should not be so scared. It was just a sound that made him panic so much. It was very suspicious.

They have met.

"Who is coming!" Xia Ziqian looked around, and without thinking, he pulled out a long knife from the knife holder beside him and held it in front of him. It was an obvious defensive posture. Thinking of Wang Yifeng, he felt extremely frightened in his heart.

There is no one around in bright places, and in dark places it is difficult to distinguish things, and it is not clear where the sound is coming from.

There was a long silence.

Then I heard the voice that was as plain as ever, "Do you know me?"

Xia Ziqian felt excited and shook his head decisively, "Don't you know?"

Jiang Chen used the jade flute in his hand to push aside the gorgeous curtains, and the decoration in the hall fell into view.

There are golden nanmu carved chairs on the left and right, Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy and paintings hanging in the front hall, Yuezhou white porcelain on the left and right, and some books on the storage shelves, all about Sun Tzu's Art of War.

The environment layout is really like a serious and responsible general.

Jiang Chen thought for a while, "Xia Ziqian?"

Xia Ziqian breathed a sigh of relief, then thought that with the help of the system, his appearance had completely changed. Even if his dead mother came, she would never recognize him.

He composed himself and said calmly, "Yes, who are you?"

Jiang Chen glanced at the luxuriously dressed young man who pretended to be calm in the quiet hall. He sat down on the guest chair while walking, rubbed the flute in his hand, and said, "Xia Daqian?"

After hearing clearly the three words Xia Daqian, the young man named Xia Ziqian, who was actually Xia Daqian, had no color on his face.

Xia Daqian?

Isn't that the person who killed Wen Xiaoyue?

Yan frowned. If it were him, then what he said just now would make sense. But according to the information about the Ghost Realm of the Tang Dynasty, Xia Daqian was just a waiter in a red building. How could he be able to rise to the position of Taifu General in just a few years?

Xia Daqian just opened his mouth and replied stiffly, "Your Excellency, you have mistaken the person? My surname is Xia, and my name is Ziqian. The son of a gentleman, Qian is humble, and I am not Xia Daqian."

Jiang Chen looked at this unfamiliar face for a while. Xia Daqian felt chilled in his heart. He turned his eyes slightly and looked back, as if there was no such person in front of him. He said calmly, "Most people in the world are willing to be true to themselves. , Changing one’s name often involves some connection with the past to show one’s nostalgia, but it’s true that it’s not often that you deny yourself.”

Xia Daqian's heart became heavier and heavier. He unconsciously clenched the long knife in his hand and forced himself to smile, "Why are you here? But you insist on saying these unintelligible words to arouse people's imagination. This is a military base. How on earth do you break into it?" Come in! If you don’t leave quickly, I will call the guards to arrest you!”

Xia Daqian naturally knew that Wang Yifeng could enter here quietly because he was not afraid of the guards. Even if those guards came, they would only die.

When he thought about Zigong, all the confidence he had in practicing advanced martial arts suddenly disappeared. His eyes fell on the sword beside him, but he did not dare to act immediately.

The system in my mind seemed to have turned off. It went from chattering just now to being silent for a long time.

Xia Daqian secretly scolded it for being useless. Before he finished his scolding, the system's mechanical sound had become a bit mixed, "Host, forcefully trigger the high-level mission [Battle of Life and Death]. Please understand the content by yourself."

What else is there to say? It was life and death between them.

Jiang Chen didn't delve into the specific twists and turns in his heart. No matter how helpless he was, it would not help Jiang Chen. When this person was involved in the cause and effect of the original owner, it was already destined that he would be a dead man.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Xia Ziqian tightened the knife in his hand and said loudly, "It's ridiculous! You're just a rat. As a general of the Tang Dynasty, how can I be afraid!"

This loud voice made him look even more fierce and angry.

"Now that war is everywhere, General Xia still wants to drink tea..." Jiang Chen smiled slightly, put down the exquisite Yuezhou tea bowl in his hand, looked at Xia Daqian's clothes, and even said with admiration, "well-dressed and decent..."

If these words were said by a loyal minister and general of the Tang Dynasty, they would inevitably be angry and criticized. If it were someone from Nanzhao, he would be ridiculed and ridiculed.

When he said it, it seemed that the war, the generals, the success or failure, all became light and indifferent, as light as dust.

In fact, it was just that, for him, those things would eventually return to the past that he could not face directly.

All the long moments of looking back became a short moment, and all the short moments were so long when they were experienced at the beginning.

The dynasty was up and down, and the people of the time fought on the battlefield with their lives, but they could not save the decline of the future.

How do you know what Li Longji thought?

Xia Ziqian should be a general with both wisdom and courage. Even if he is not the former, he should at least be a loyal minister like Li Chengen who never leaves his country every three sentences, but he turned out to be an acquaintance.

For the unknown amount of silver, the waiter of Taoxianglou was worthy of killing Wen Xiaoyue.

Perhaps it is such a person who can seize every opportunity to realize his ambitions.

Jiang Chen suddenly thought of those poems that should not exist in modern times. Xia Daqian must not be able to write such poems.

Xia Daqian looked down along his line of sight and saw the golden cloud purple robe on his body, the glass beads around his waist, and the blue silk shoes on his feet. His face turned red and white, and then white and blue.

Jiang Chen said again, "It can be seen that the war is not as urgent as the report said, and it will not end until death."

With just this one look, the details were revealed. Xia Daqian felt extremely uncomfortable. He could not help but look at the darkness in the outer hall.

Jiang Chen also looked out and sighed, "Your Excellency, are you going to ask General Huangfu to come over?"

"That's not necessary. As far as I know, General Xia Ziqian, the General of the Southern Expedition, doesn't like noise. Although this is a place for discussion, no one is allowed to intrude. Besides, what difference does it make whether Huangfu Weiming comes or not?"

Xia Daqian looked ugly and shouted angrily, "How dare you investigate important officials of the court!"

Jiang Chen glanced at him, and Xia Daqian was silent for a moment. Jiang Chen seemed to have heard a joke and asked back, "Investigation?"

For the first time, his expression became cold, "The Evil Valley rebelled, the Five Poison Sect split, Nanzhao rose up, An Lushan came to the throne, and the Western Region Chamber of Commerce expanded wantonly. All these deeds have made your position as a general as stable as Mount Tai." He changed his tone, "I wonder if being in a high position is more comfortable than being a waiter in the Red Mansion?"

Such a calm and condescending tone.

Xia Daqian felt that his heart was full of anger, and a strong dragon could not suppress a local snake! Does Wang Yifeng think that in this military secret office, he is still the leader of the Evil Valley who commands the support of all!
