At night, Hu Xin and Gu Xuanhong checked into an ordinary inn.
Although the inn is small, it is clean and elegant.
Hu Xin and Gu Xuanhong were in a room respectively. As soon as they closed the door, they heard a steady knock on the door.
This voice did not come from Mo Chuan.
"I have followed you all the way and now you are sacrificing yourself. You are very patient." Hu Xin's voice was lukewarm, and Liu Yuren came in from outside the door.
She was still dressed in purple clothes, exuding an indescribable elegance.
Only the silver mask on his face shone with a strange and ferocious cold light.
"You knew I would come in to find you as soon as you checked into the inn, so you turned away from Mochuan?" Liu Yuren asked as he closed the door.
Hu Xin shrugged and said calmly,
"I didn't push Mo Chuan away. I just told him that if you come, don't stop him. Because you have to face what you have to face."
Hu Xin's attitude towards Liu Yuren was calm and natural, but this made Liu Yuren feel strange and alienated.
"I didn't expect that your attitude had changed so much after riding in the carriage with Gu Xuanhong for just one day." Liu Yuren seemed to be asking the center of the lake, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
Hu Xin sat down minding his own business and said calmly,
"Isn't your purpose of coming here the same as his? Since it's the same, why bother gossiping about others."
"Why are you talking to him?" Liu Yuren sat across from the lake, looking deeply at her with one eye.
Hu Xin took a sip of tea and looked at him with an indifferent expression.
"I always treat things differently than people. That's just the fact."
"I'm just kidding, I still know you somewhat."
Liu Yuren chuckled, his expression still as steady as ever, making it impossible to see any anger or other unnecessary emotions.
"Why did you think of coming here in person?" Liu Yuren refilled the tea in the center of the lake and looked at her intently.
"If it has anything to do with me, you have to come in person. It's that simple." Hu Xin doesn't like to beat around the bush in front of Liu Yuren. The more delicate a man is, the more straightforward he has to be when dealing with them.
"It's not convenient for me to show up, so I can only follow you in the dark. Gu Xuanhong took advantage of the right time, place and people this time." Liu Yuren sighed and gently touched his injured eye with one hand.
Everyone in Canghan Continent knew that Liu Yuren had injured an eye. If he appeared next to her, even if he was in disguise, the injured eye alone would betray everyone.
Liu Yuren has never felt the inconvenience caused by his eye so deeply at this moment.
At this moment, there was another knock on the door.
"Come in." Hu Xin said in response. The person who came in was none other than Gu Xuanhong in disguise.
It seemed that Liu Yuren had been expected to be in the room for a long time. Gu Xuanhong didn't have any doubts after entering and sat naturally beside the lake.
He and Liu Yuren's eyes intertwined, one was lazy and cunning, the other was steady.
It’s all about their consistent temperament and feeling.
In the middle of the lake, he was sipping tea by himself, not bothering to pay attention to the eyes of the other two people fighting fiercely in the air.
It is conceivable that in the next seven days, she will watch today's neither yin nor yang scene every day.
The three of them had a simple meeting in the room in the middle of the lake.
The trip for the next seven days will never be easy or simple.
Nalan Mingqing has not taken any action in Canghan Continent for the time being, but according to that person's consistent style, once he takes action, the bloodshed will be unstoppable.
…
Early the next morning, after finishing washing up in the middle of the lake, Gu Xuanhong was already waiting outside the house early.
As a talker of the Gu family, the Gu family's reputation as famous as the country did not come out of thin air. The efforts Gu Xuanhong put in for it are unimaginable to outsiders.
Hu Xin thought she was early enough, but she didn't expect that Gu Xuanhong was earlier than her.
Moreover, he also had to disguise himself, and his disguise was much more complicated than his own.
Sometimes you can only slowly get to know a person by getting along day and night.
The person you see who looks glamorous on the surface actually puts in hard work that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Hu Xin didn't say much and got on the carriage first.
Gu Xuanhong then walked into the carriage.
Liu Yuren and General Liu were still watching from the dark.
The seemingly peaceful march lasted for six days, and there was no news of any unusual movement from Kyoto.
But Hu Xin and others knew very well that this was just a seeming peace.
Once Nalan Mingqing takes action, it is likely to be a devastating blow.
On the seventh day, we finally reached the water valley.
The water valley that used to be called a paradise by outsiders is now like a purgatory on earth.
Everywhere is filled with the mess and debris left behind by the flash of swords.
The four characters "waters and valleys" hang crookedly at the entrance of the valley.
It was teetering on the edge, as if it would fall down at any moment.
Entering the valley is overgrown with weeds and wilderness.
"It's more like man-made destruction here." Gu Xuanhong spoke in a deep voice, revealing the mystery.
Hu Xin nodded.
"It seems that before Nalan Mingqing left, he made up his mind not to come back in this life and to destroy everything here."
Although Hu Xin had some expectations before coming, Nalan Mingqing's temperament would never leave any clues to others.
But as the saying goes, even gods take a nap, so she didn't believe that Nalan Mingqing didn't make any mistakes.
At this time, Liu Yuren also caught up.
Walking beside the lake without saying a word.
The three of them walked side by side, with their respective guards not far behind them.
Starting with Mochuan, Yaotai and Black Eagle.
The further you go inside, the more weeds you get. A lake in front of you is even more littered with corpses.
The lake water that was supposed to be crystal clear had already been stained red with blood and emitted an unpleasant stench.
Fortunately it's not summer, otherwise...
"Look at how these people are dressed. There are people from the National Preceptor and people from the Shuishui Valley. These people have been dead for a while, and it is difficult to find useful clues on them." Liu Yuren said while observing.
The lake was silent and continued to move forward.
Will such a fierce battle really result in the total annihilation of the entire army?
The group continued walking forward and soon arrived at the entrance of the palace in the water valley.
The Shuishui Valley used to be a paradise well-known in the world, but now it looks really sad.
But as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the palaces in this water valley were smashed and burned, they still have a big frame.
"There are really survivors here!"
Seeing a corpse lying in the middle of the hall, Hu Xin suddenly spoke.
Liu Yuren and Gu Xuanhong looked at each other at the same time.
"This body must not have been dead for more than seven days. In other words, when we set off from Kyoto, there was a fight here, but it has been more than half a month since Nalan Mingqing left the water valley."
The analysis in the center of the lake has once again verified that their trip to the water valley will never come back empty-handed!
