The joke about tofu nao diluted the tense atmosphere a little, but it could not solve the essence of the problem. This was actually understood by both of them.
Regarding Ning Yi as a "madman", Chen Fan may only be able to find some reasons to convince himself when there is nothing he can do.
If others were here, they might not believe what Ning Yi said about his family's rural life and the hope of returning to his hometown to live in seclusion, but Chen Fan could more or less feel it. Of course, when they first met in Hangzhou, he probably
I just feel that Ning Yi is somewhat contradictory. Birds of a feather flock together, and this kind of contradiction is reflected in many people. Xigua raised a knife to rebel but had the same heart. He once felt confused because of the corruption of the rebel army, and Ning Yi
Yi... what this guy wants in the end is just a simple and peaceful life.
Now, looking back on the road ahead, there is inevitably a bloody storm around these people. The changes around the other party, and the ups and downs of each incident, are no smaller than those of any of them. His conspiracy and betrayal in Hangzhou destroyed the entire Liangshan.
He was cruel and ruthless, including the madness that overwhelmed Sikong Nan, Lin Echan and others this time. In the end, this guy said that all he wanted was to retire to the countryside... He even killed his master not long ago.
From a simple moral perspective, Chen Fan also knew that he could only take action and kill him at this time, because his father's hatred was irreconcilable.
But on the other hand, Chen Fan knew clearly that he couldn't kill him here. From the beginning to the end, the other party chased him with sincerity, treating him as a brother and treating Xigua as a family member.
This mentality may not have changed much before and after he swung the sword. Chen Fan could even clearly know that at that time, the master was certain to die. If Ning Yi had not rushed there, if he had not done it himself - then it would have been
It was a very simple decision. At most, the price paid was that the master would delay his death a little and bear a little risk of being captured. The other party also understood this, but he still took action.
, actually out of consideration of not increasing the risk and letting the situation break down immediately...
Xigua can also understand this matter. But understanding is one thing, explaining it is another.
He put his emotions on the court and asked Ning Yi for the elm cannon, which was an excuse to divert hatred. However, this excuse could not deceive anyone, nor could he convince himself. Ning Yi once said that smart people live
Not happy. Without killing Ning Yi, Chen Fan could only bear the guilt and guilt in his heart towards Fang Qifu. Ning Yi could know their emotions, but he would never apologize for this matter. He could only bear the consequences.
This resulted in helplessness. As for Watermelon, he could only suffer in these two emotions for a long time.
Chen Fan can only regard someone who understands these things but still keeps talking and making silly jokes as a lunatic.
So he put the pamphlet into his arms and stood up. The harmonious atmosphere between the two people could only lead to a deepening of guilt, so he could only leave: "I heard that Fang Shuchang, Qian Luoning, and the others, in your
On hand."
"I will arrange it." Ning Yi nodded.
"An account book belonging to Master Deng has been leaked out. An Xifu is still here with an account book. But I don't know where he is." Chen Fan walked towards the door, "If you think this information is useful, please tell me
Pay more attention."
Ning Yi at the table nodded, and when Chen Fan was about to go to the door, he suddenly said: "Where is Sister Qian'er?"
"Um?"
"I didn't see her that night, but I remember you liked her."
Ning Yi smiled, and only then did Chen Fan show a real smile.
"She's waiting for me outside... to return to Miao territory. Of course, we haven't, uh... um." Chen Fan shrugged slightly, shook his head, held the door latch in his hand, took a while, and whispered, "
I'm afraid we won't see each other again in the next few years, and neither is Xigua. What do you want to bring her?"
"...I will go find her."
Chen Fan waited for a moment and heard that Ning Yi didn't speak again. He finally opened the door and left.
Under the leadership of Zhu Biao, he walked out of the winding small courtyard and returned to the far darkness. Someone was waiting for him on the roadside there. The woman asked him something, and he walked forward and shook his head.
His eyes and steps seemed to have a heavier burden and weight than before.
After Chen Fan left, Ning Yi sat in front of the desk in the room for a while. He closed his eyes and seemed to be falling asleep. After a long time, he stood up from there and opened the window. Outside the window was a shallow pond.
.The night is already deep, and what flashes across the darkness are fireflies in mid-spring. The town is sleeping peacefully in the darkness, the distant mountains are silent, and the starlight is thin.
Under the thin starlight, in the dim foothills hundreds of miles away, the girl led her companions and trekked south non-stop, with a faint light shining between her eyes in the darkness.
The foot of the mountain turns in front, and far away from the foot of the mountain, in the channel of the river, there are traces of lights of ships.
In such a quiet spring night, every window and every bit of light seems to carry weight. Sometimes they are still and sometimes they intersect. Like every trajectory of life, in such darkness, we don’t know what they will be.
No matter what turns or collisions occur, they carry far more than precious joy and pleasure. On the way forward, each of us also carries the weight of frustration, danger, and humiliation.
The weight of pain, the weight of pain. Only when time passes and the dawn of a certain day comes, and the morning breeze washes away so many things that we once thought were important but actually insignificant, can we perhaps be able to precipitate from them...
…
The weight of life.
The trendsetters of the old era have passed away, and time has turned a new page here.

The sun was getting warmer and the morning breeze was blowing the pink and yellow petals. On February 23rd, the process of the Criminal Department was also completed. Ning Yi and others packed up their bags and drove a convoy to Jiangning.
In the past few days, except for a commotion in which two criminals from the Secret Investigation Department took the opportunity to escape due to an attack by gangsters, nothing more happened. The Criminal Department escorted the captured Yongle bandits and set off for Beijing.
The chilling atmosphere that had enveloped Sipinggang for the past few days finally began to dissipate at this time. However, due to the cleaning of Sipinggang during this period, the security of the prefectures and counties in this area became quite good in the next one or two years.
As a result, several county magistrates were able to obtain excellent results in performance evaluations, and they were blessed a lot.
The battle at the edge of the Dabie Mountains spread among the green forests, directly consolidating the name of the inner demon Ning Yi in the green forests. After all, after the Battle of Liangshan, due to the limited time for communication, the means of communication were also limited.
, people in the south may not really have much understanding of this name. After hearing about Liangshan, some thought that there was another powerful figure in the world, while others thought of going to the capital to kill him and gain a good reputation.
But after this, there will probably be fewer such delusional people.
For some well-informed and profound forces in the green forest, the reappearance of Sikong Nan, Lin Echan and others is also news that cannot be ignored. However, those who know the background of this group of people are already a minority in the world, and
The news that this group of Manichaeans were defeated at the hands of the inner demon as soon as they came out only increased the power of the inner demon's methods in the eyes of others. As for more Green Forest people, what they received at first was just a piece of news that seemed ridiculous.
.
That was Lin Zongwu's challenge to Zhou Tong.
Like the initial reaction of the Secret Detective Division, a small number of Green Forest people who heard the news just laughed at first. However, soon thereafter, they would feel the ripples caused by this name.
At the end of February, this group of people came back to Green Forest under the name of "Great Light Sect". The leader Lin Zongwu chose the simplest and most direct way to appear in front of everyone. While issuing a challenge to Zhou Tong, he handed down the challenge one by one.
The post was sent to the famous sects and masters in the green forest, and then from south to north, they challenged each family one by one.
Although this kind of behavior is quite suspected of provoking the world, the Great Light Sect itself does not act randomly. The members of the sect fight against injustice and provide help to the poor and weak. However, some green forest cottages that act viciously are wiped out overnight. The leader
Although Lin Zongwu came to challenge him from family to family, he always remained polite. After the two sides fought, the other party discovered that he was extremely skilled in martial arts. He often defeated the other party in just a few moves, but he also maintained an attitude of sparring with the other party and improving through conversation.
Rendasheng has a good impression.
People in the Green Forest compete for face. Their skills are not as good as others, but the other party treats them with courtesy. Many masters and masters will borrow donkeys from the slope. After the fight, they admit defeat on the Green Forest and praise the opponent's skills.
The karma, character, and Great Light Sect also expanded rapidly under such operations.
Of course, these are things for later.
At the end of February, just when the name of the Great Guangming Sect first appeared, Ning Yi had already arrived in Jiangning. When they left Jiangning, their relationship with the Su family was somewhat tense, but when they came back this time, the Su family was almost
The whole family went out of the city to greet them. Standing in front was Xiao Qi, who had a small scar on his face but still looked cute. When he saw the motorcade coming, he was already jumping up and down and waving.
At the same time, Bianliang, Youxiang Mansion.
Regarding the situation of the Battle of Sipinggang in the south, they were summarized one by one in the study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Two days ago, Qin Siyuan had actually read them one by one, and even talked to Yao Zunian about Ning Yi's visit with a smile.
The handling of this matter - for them, a little turmoil in the green forest is actually nothing. Ning Yi's methods and changes in this matter are worth seeing. As for some of Ning Yi's intentions, they may be able to hide it.
Most of the time, Qin Siyuan couldn't hide it from others, but Ning Yi didn't cross the line, so the other party thought it was okay.
What came over today was a piece of new information. Yu Jikun brought it in with a cold face, obviously having already read it. Qin Siyuan was processing the official document, and after reading it, his eyes darkened.
"Who is the person behind Lin Zongwu? Have you found out?"
Ji Kun whispered something, Qin Siyuan nodded and thought for a moment.
"We have the background, and so do they. Since this matter has not come to light, we cannot make too big a deal against the Great Light Sect. The matter of Green Forest is still left to Li Heng. But this news..." Qin Siyuan pointed out
He pointed and said, "Suppress it for now and don't send it to the south. There is no need for Li Heng to see it... Anyway, he and these people are already fighting to the death."
"yes."
"...the remaining two people in his family should be properly settled."
——On February 27, the family of Hao Jinhan, the former head of the Secret Investigation Department in Chongping County, who was ordered to be transferred, including the eldest son, second son, and three apprentices, were killed in his hometown of Shuanghao Village, 300 miles away from Chongping County.
, only his daughter Hao Yaomei and son-in-law Chen Sinong survived. The murderer has not yet been identified, but judging from some traces left in the local area, it was Lin Echan's revenge.
Soon after, Qin Siyuan gave a few more instructions, and Ji Kun nodded and left. He left a piece of information in a corner of the Secret Investigation Department's library and sealed it.
Exit, close the door, and the light fades away. The library becomes quiet. What is sealed here and accompanied by the dust is only time...
