In a wooden house, Xuanwu carefully closed the door. His face was solemn, and he looked worried.
Xuanwu is over eighty years old. Although he looks older, his eyes are still bright. He has a short and stiff goatee and a pair of brown eyes that are slightly red and deep-set. In the eye socket, there is a mess of gray hair.
The hair in front of the forehead is tied into eight braids. The braids are not thick, each one is only as thick as an adult man's little finger. There are four on the left and four on the right.
The old man only had half of one ear. It is said that he once encountered a monster and half of his ear was bitten off by the monster. Originally, the old man Xuanwu should have died in the mouth of the monster, but he was saved by Ye Kuang, so From now on, I started to follow Ye Kuang.
The woman next to him is Suzaku. Suzaku is an aunt. To be precise, she is more like a witch in a fairy tale, because she has an aquiline nose. This aquiline nose is particularly conspicuous and looks like someone fishing. The fishhook used is the same, with barbs.
The long and pointed chin is pressed against her throat and collarbone, and the greasy hair is half white and half black. She is tightly wrapped in a thick red cloak all day long. She looks nondescript. In short, she is younger than Xuanwu. But not a few years younger.
Suzaku usually carries a walking stick. She looks unkempt, with her disheveled hair half-covered and half-hidden. The wrinkles on her face are not many, but they are very deep, as if they were cut with a knife.
A pair of eyes will always be in a daze, but once they look at people, they will feel very cold and terrifying.
"Old man, what do you think we should do?" Suzaku said worriedly, "Who are Bai Hu and Qing Long? These two are the most successful generals among the four of us. However, Ye Kuang said he would fall out with us."
"Alas..." Xuanwu sat on the bamboo slats and took a sip of tea, but the tea was too hot for his mouth and he had to put down the cup. "Actually, I have discovered this a long time ago. In Ye Kuang's case, In his eyes, everyone around him is his pawn... Qinglong and White Tiger are, so are we... Even, even the second prince is."
"Since you know, why do you still pretend not to know?" Suzaku was very angry.
Xuanwu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "I can't help it... Think about it, we have followed Lieutenant Ye for how many years. No matter where we are, we are already old... There is no place where we can have the right to speak. Not much left, but when we are old and can’t walk anymore, we just want a good death, but now it seems that it is unlikely.”
Xuanwu took a deep breath, looked out the window and said, "Old lady, you and I have been together for thirty years. In fact, I have been wondering why you have been following me so stupidly and you didn't choose to leave?"
"Since the first time I saw you, I vowed not to leave you, but you keep rejecting me. You damn old man has wasted me for half my life!" Suzaku scolded with a smile.
The conversation between the two was like that of an old couple. Although the two were not married, they always came and went in pairs. In the eyes of others, they were no different from husband and wife.
Xuanwu said: "When we have no value, Ye Kuang will also abandon us..."
"But I'm not willing to give in, I'm not willing to give in! The Green Dragon and the White Tiger are like our biological sons. They will die when they say they will..." Suzaku said.
Xuanwu's scheming eyes immediately stared at Suzaku: "Old woman, let me ask you, do you think the same as me?"
"What you think, I think."
"Find a chance to leave... Ye Kuang's energy is exhausted." Xuanwu said.
Suzaku's expression suddenly changed: "What?"
"Obviously, Ye Feng's trick and this chain plan are obviously coordinated by someone, and this Li Huguo is planning it. Although I don't know all his calculations, I understand that in his abacus, Hao Nanren will definitely die!" Xuanwu Narrowing his eyes, he looked like an old vulture, ready to attack at any time, "Because Hao Nanren returned to the South Bank, basically everything Li Hugo had would be taken away by him. In this way, Li Hugo would be sidelined. At that time, they When the two sides were scolding each other, I also took a look at this kid. I felt that the only one who could rival Li Hugo was Baima. However, both Ye Kuang and Su Ao were afraid of Baima and refused to give Baima rights, so Ye Kuang was bound to lose. "
"Indeed, Li Yuguo is a terrifying boy. At such a young age, his calculations are already ahead of those of us two old guys. He is following his plans step by step. I have also thought about it. If you continue to stay here, it is better to leave than to gain the distrust of the Taiwei. I am already tired of the battles in the world. It is time to choose a geomantic treasure place and think about what is behind me." Suzaku said.
"Sigh... We can't leave now, and there's no point in staying... If this continues, the Blue Dragon and White Tiger will only serve as a lesson to us." Xuanwu said.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door: "Not necessarily, you can choose to cooperate with me!"
As soon as these words came out, the two elders stood up at the same time. Suzaku opened his eyes angrily, and his body was already burning with flames.
Just at this time, Baima opened the door and came in. He said with a smile: "You two, I heard what you said, but please don't be nervous. If I am hostile, I can directly talk to Lord Ye Kuang about your conversation. Instead of throwing myself into a trap here, after all, my cultivation is far inferior to the two elders."
"It turns out to be Mr. Bai." Xuanwu said with a smile, "It seems that I guessed it right."
The old man made way for White Horse, who sat directly east of the table.
Baima also smiled: "Since I guessed correctly, let's open the skylight and speak frankly."
"What are you talking about? One after another." Suzaku frowned and said.
Xuanwu took another sip of tea, which was already cold: "Baima, you are not Ye Kuang's person, but Li Huguo's person..."
"What?!" Suzaku was also shocked.
Baima said: "Senior Xuanwu is right. If you continue to hide in Shuangjie Mountain, you will fail sooner or later. There are Soochow in the north and Li Huguo in the south. We are imprisoned in the mountains. Although there is food on the mountains, there is no food." It is very limited, and you must know that the food route has been cut off by Li Huguo, which means that the food in the military camp cannot last for three months!"
Baima's analysis silenced Xuanwu.
Baima continued: "Senior, Ye Kuang killed Qinglong and Baihu indiscriminately. Isn't that enough? If one day, this alienation plan falls on you, can you guarantee that you will not be killed?"
Xuanwu clenched his fists, and at this time Suzaku grabbed Xuanwu's hand, and she nodded.
"How many people do you have on hand?" Xuanwu asked.
"Eighty thousand. Su Ao asked me to bury the 80,000 people I captured alive, but after I buried some corpses, I hid the rest."
