Chen Tian propped up his bamboo pole and knocked on the trestle. He had just sailed less than a hundred feet away when he turned his head and saw Liu Yiyi sitting leaning on the side of the boat. She lazily kicked off her embroidered cloud soap shoes and stretched out her feet to kick in the autumn water.
As the stars and moon reflected in the sky were rippled, she murmured in a long voice: "I'm so tired, so tired, so tired."
Chen Tian was silent.
Standing sideways on the stern of the boat, acting as a ruthless punting puppet.
"When will these messy things come to an end?" Liu Yiyi didn't expect him to talk to him. She leaned against the awning and muttered and complained to herself, "Heaven moves sometimes and it lasts for thousands of years, so why bother fighting over it?
?”
Sometimes she really couldn't understand that five hundred years was the limit of a person's life span. For her long life of ten thousand years, it was only half a summer.
Does the intrigue between those old guys in Gusu City really make sense?
They are now calculating and calculating, and their fathers and grandfathers were calculating and calculating in the past. In just a hundred years, there have been batches of faces on the negotiating table, but in the end they are still not permanent residents of the chessboard?
Thinking of this, Liu Yiyi really wanted to hide in the secret realm of the banyan tree, but she completely failed.
"Mr. Shang."
"Um."
"Isn't it interesting that people are fighting over each other?"
"Interesting." Chen Tian punted the boat and sailed through the center of the lake. The stars and moon were in the water, as if he were swimming on the Milky Way. "Competing with people is endless fun; competing with earth is endless fun; competing with heaven is endless fun."
"Tsk, tsk, the human race is really full of energy, no wonder there are constant disputes." Liu Yiyi swung her feet and stirred the river water, "If everyone has a life span of 10,000 years, then why are we still fighting?"
"It's only been ten thousand years, and we're still fighting for the day." Chen Tian said calmly.
Hearing this, Liu Yiyi rolled her eyes, turned her head and rubbed her shins, and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Chen Tian picked up his bamboo pen and knocked on the awning, and said seriously: "Miss Liu, aren't you curious about what happened just now?"
"Ah? What things?"
"Qin Hui's oral confession."
"I know there must be something fishy in it." Liu Yiyi lifted up her skirt and wiped off the water stains on her feet, then sat on the floor, "But my mind is so confused right now that I can't tell the truth from the lie. Just tell me straight to the point."
Chen Tian spoke slowly: "If what Qin Hui said is true, the eight witnesses were not killed by the thieves who broke into the Guzhi headquarters at night with three attacks, and the weapon he held was not a sword."
"Keep talking."
"The thief only struck once, and he was killed with one blow." Chen Tian was determined.
The autumn wind suddenly tightened, and Liu Yiyi shrank her shoulders subconsciously: "Sweep eight people with one move? Seven dead and one injured?"
"The way he plays with daggers is very sharp." Chen Tian nodded.
Hearing this, Liu Yiyi was shocked and couldn't believe her ears.
You know, the thief broke into the Guzhi headquarters at night, bumped into Chen Tian on the way, and was seriously injured.
However, when they were still turning back, with only a short dagger, they killed eight Jade Cauldron Realm Black Tiger Gang disciples with one blow, and the last disciple had already hid around the corner out of fear.
As her thoughts flashed through her mind, Liu Yiyi found it hard to imagine how exquisite that thief's martial arts skills must be and how fluid his moves must be.
I guess in his eyes, killing eight people is as simple as picking eight red dates by a fruit farmer, right?
"It's a bit overwhelming." Liu Yiyi couldn't help but feel scared.
She never expected that the guy who lured the snake out of the hole would be so powerful. If he really allowed half a stick of incense to spread around the Guzhi headquarters, she didn't know how many bloody disasters he would cause.
Liu Yiyi turned to look at Chen Tian and said sincerely: "Thanks to you at that time."
"Okay." Chen Tian nodded as if he was grateful, and added again, "I have fought two or three moves with this old thief, and I know a little bit about his fists and kicks. If I attack again, my flaws will be exposed."
"Does Mr. Shang have someone to suspect?" Liu Yiyi tried to say, but suddenly said, "Don't you doubt Shen Leiyi?"
"Haha, of course it's impossible, Miss Liu, don't be nervous." Chen Tianlang smiled.
He saw that Liu Yiyi seemed a little embarrassed and said narrowly: "I can understand Lord Shen Lei's eagerness to protect the Lord; I can also understand the little thoughts of youth."
The awning boat sailed into the intricate water alley.
Under the orange light and the silvery moonlight, Liu Yiyi turned her face and spat softly: "You don't seem to be young when you say it, and I don't seem to understand it."

Chen Tian just pretended not to hear.
After half a day of study in Guzhi's secret room, he had already memorized all the topography and water conditions of Gusu City, and now he was able to punt into Guzhi's headquarters with ease.
"I'm not a fortune teller. I haven't done any on-the-spot investigation and only listened to some second-hand information. How can I guess who the old thief is?" Chen Tian smiled lightly.
Then he added while punting the boat close to the trestle: "But I believe that as long as I enter the Black Tiger Gang within half a day, the old thief will definitely reveal his clues."
Liu Yiyi picked up her shoes and socks and stepped onto the boat barefoot. When passing by Chen Tian, she suddenly stopped: "I found that Mr. Shang is busier than me and more tired."
"Oh?" Chen Tian was confused.
"Tomorrow you will launch an offensive against Wong Tai Sin, the day after tomorrow you will go ashore to investigate the matter of the old thief, and at the end of the month you will deal with the ransom hostages." Liu Yiyi clapped her fingers and said.
"In addition, you have to train the private army of water demons and refine the elixirs."
Chen Tian was stunned for a moment, then agreed: "According to what Miss Liu said, the mules and horses pulling the rice are not even tired of me."
Liu Yiyi laughed playfully and tiptoed closer to him: "What kind of reward does Mr. Shang want?"
Feeling the breath close at hand, Chen Tian's heartstrings trembled slightly. Looking down at the smiling face, his breathing became a little short.
"Then what kind of reward does Miss Liu get?"
"As long as it's not excessive, it's okay."
"Forget it, no merit will be given?" Chen Tian opened his mouth, but finally changed his words when he was about to speak. He bypassed Liu Yiyi and walked straight to the courtyard.
Liu Yiyi was startled, then turned to look at Chen Tian, and suddenly found a bunch of servants and maids standing at the door, obviously they had been standing there for a long time.
"Well--"
"It's very late, why haven't you rested yet?"
Hearing Liu Yiyi's somewhat embarrassed tone, Xiao Li was the first to respond: "My slave is waiting for the Immortal Lord to come home! It's midnight, so I had to beg Mr. Shang to go and take care of him."
"Okay, okay, let's go to bed early." Liu Yiyi waved her hand.
As a result, she had just taken two or three steps when she discovered that a group of maids were all following Chen Tian through the south chamber door, and Xiao Li was the only one beside her.
"Ah? Are you all gone with him?" Liu Yiyi was stunned.
Xiao Li held up the four-sided palace lantern and explained with a smile: "Relying on Mr. Shang's guidance, the sisters have made rapid progress in cultivation recently. It is even more effective than taking the Zhenhua Pill. If you don't follow closely, you will miss the opportunity."
"Is this true?" Liu Yiyi looked surprised and suddenly asked, "I heard that the process was very painful?"
"It was really painful the first time, but it got better after that. The numbing feeling was pretty good." Xiao Li responded casually.
Liu Yiyi stared at Xiao Li intently, and then said after a while: "It seems that you have grown a lot."
Xiao Li stopped to think about what he had just said, and suddenly realized something was wrong. He looked embarrassed and immediately followed Liu Yiyi's footsteps and shouted:
