An isolated pavilion and a gust of autumn wind.
On the left side of Yijian Mountain, parallel to Yijian Peak, there is another dangerous peak named "Jianlai Peak".
Jianlai Peak is not as tall and straight as Yijian Peak, nor as steep and strange as Yijian Peak.
Therefore, many people who come to Yijian Mountain go directly to Yijian Peak, but few people would think of visiting "Jianlai Peak".
Jianlai Peak is a natural supporting role and a vassal of Yijian Peak.
However, Jianlai Peak is not lonely today, because it also welcomes travelers who know how to appreciate it.
"If life could always be like the first time we met, why would the autumn wind make the fan sad? People's hearts change easily, but they say that people's hearts change easily." A young man in a black suit stood at the side of the pavilion, holding a high-powered telescope in his hand. The direction he was looking at was the top of Yijian Peak in the distance.
He was reciting Nalan Rongruo's "Mulan Ci", which sounded very thoughtful.
No one answered, except for the whistling autumn wind and rustling of the strong grass.
"The heart is the most difficult thing to buy, and the most fickle thing." The man in the suit sighed softly. He handed the binoculars in his hand to an old man in a black Tang suit beside him, turned around and looked at a man in white behind him, and asked, "What do you think?"
"This one is too sad." The man in white said calmly, with a handsome face. "I prefer the two lines of "If friends and relatives in Luoyang ask me, my heart is as pure as ice in a jade pot."
"There is a pure heart in a jade pot. How many people are willing to put their hearts in a jade pot?" The man in the suit sighed. "What about you? Is your pure heart in a jade pot?"
"Young Master, you know the answer." said the man in white robe.
"I don't know the answer." The man in the suit shook his head. He scanned everyone present and said, "People's minds are unpredictable. No matter how good my mental arithmetic is, I can't calculate their minds. All I want is for everyone to do something great together. Benefits are eternal, isn't that the truth?"
The man in the white robe smiled and said, "That makes sense, but it sounds -"
"That doesn't sound very elegant, does it?" asked the man in the suit.
"Young Master is wise."
"I'm not smart." The man in the suit shook his head. "I used to think I was smart. I had a lot of halos on my head, and I did a few things that made me feel really good. At that time, I felt that I was invincible and nothing could stump me. In this world, you can get whatever you want. At this point, it's easy for people to lose control and it's easy for them to fall into empty space."
"Later, I met Fang Yan, a man whom I had to call my rival. The slap from the Maple Leaf Club was so memorable that I had a bloody taste in my mouth for a long time. That slap also woke me up completely, knocking me down from mid-air, and letting me know that I am not omnipotent and that I could be knocked down by others. The most important thing is to let me not underestimate anyone, because there is a saying that goes, 'It is better to be safe than sorry.'"
"Fang Yan has been lurking in Yanziwu for three years, but I have been busy in the outside world for three years. Why? To do more things, to succeed a few more times, because only when there are more successful things will people forget the scene in the Maple Leaf Club - I want to wash away the shame."
"Later I found out that I was wrong. No matter how many things you have done, no matter how many times you have succeeded. Whenever you meet Fang Yan, whenever someone mentions Fang Yan, they will mention that failure, and the fact that you are not as good as Fang Yan. Fang Yan became a thorn in my side, a deep chasm that I had to face. So, when Fang Yan came to Huacheng, I followed him to Huacheng----"
"Young Master, Fang Yan is just a grasshopper in autumn. There are only a few days left in autumn, and he won't be able to jump around for much longer." A man in black said.
The man in the suit smiled silently and said, "Look, even you don't believe that we can keep him here tonight?"
"Young Master, I didn't mean that--" the man in black denied repeatedly. He knew that General Ling had a dark mind, and if he let him bear a grudge against him, he would have a hard time in the future. "I will definitely keep him here tonight, and he won't live to see tomorrow."
The man in the suit waved his hand and said, "After arriving in Huacheng, Fang Yan and I clashed several times in a row. We fought openly and secretly for several times. You all know the result. I lost miserably. I am not as good as Fang Yan."
Everyone looked embarrassed and didn't know how to respond to the general's words.
The general was so arrogant and conceited that he said in front of his subordinates that he was not as good as Fang Yan. What on earth was he trying to do? Was he planning to kill them all after saying this
"Don't you think it's ridiculous?" General Ling pointed to his head and said, "It's really ironic that a person who used to only worship intelligence and thinks there is nothing that can't be solved here has to put all his hopes on force. The longer I stay in Huacheng, the more disadvantageous my situation will be. There are all kinds of rumors in Yanjing City that are unfavorable to me. It is said that I was imprisoned in Huacheng by Fang Yan and cannot move forward or backward. I guess my brother must have made a lot of efforts behind the scenes."
Everyone was silent. This was an internal fight within the Jiang family, and it was not something that outsiders like them could interfere with.
"So, we gathered here tonight. I don't like walking at night, but tonight I followed you to the top of this barren mountain. I thought I was ready. I thought I was well prepared. Let Senior Wu Chi consume his energy first, and then use enough manpower to ambush him. When he is at his weakest, give him a fatal blow. What was that silver light just now? Oh, someone told me that it was the light of Tai Chi. How ironic that his Tai Chi Heart has broken through again. Even the heavens are on his side?"
"I don't believe in gods or Buddhas, nor do I worship heaven and earth. I only believe in everything I have-----" General Ling pointed to his head again and said, "And here."
"For me this battle is crucial and important. If we win, we will regain our glory. If we lose, I will be hidden away by the family and become a discarded pawn. So---" The general bowed deeply to the people around him.
Everyone hurriedly moved out of the way.
Who would dare to accept this young lady's 90-degree bow? Wouldn't this shorten one's lifespan
If you suffer now, he will be petty and feel uncomfortable in the future, and he may make things difficult for you.
The general raised his head, looked at everyone present with burning eyes, and said in an extremely serious tone: "Everyone, you are all my most powerful friends and my last resort. Please lend me your strength, please lend me your luck - this battle, I will win."
"We will win." The two young men in black said excitedly. A kind of excitement that a man would die for his friend spread through their bodies.
"We are willing to die for you, young master." Two old men who had been following the general spoke up. They had not spoken for a long time, so their voices were dry, but their sincerity was touching.
The man in white robe had long sleeves and a long sword in his hand. He chuckled and said, "Just waiting for the young master to give the order."
The general nodded to everyone and shouted angrily: "At this time today, kill Fang Yan."
Crash--
Two men in black rushed towards the foot of the mountain.
Wow----
The general ordered the two men in black who were always by his side to dodge and then disappear into the woods.
The man in the robe nodded and smiled at the general's order, saying, "Take care, young master."
After saying that, he turned and walked down the mountain.
He used the word "walk", but his steps were so fast that he instantly rushed in front of the two men in black who left first.
Jianlai Peak once again returned to its tranquility, with only General Ling guarding the old pavilion alone.
The general used a telescope to look at the world over there, and whispered: "After the conversation at Mount Li, the night was half over, and the rain and bells never complained. How could I compare to the unfaithful man in brocade clothes, who once wished to be together forever. It is really sad to see old friends meet in battle."
--------

"Put the veil back on. I don't want to see your face."
On the fierce battlefield, Fang Yan actually made such a request.
How ugly and terrifying is this face that could make Fang Yan feel so scared
Fang Yan handed over the black veil, but the man in black did not reach out to take it.
"You already knew who I was, didn't you?" the man in black asked. His voice was light, a little gentle and coquettish, like the whispers of lovers blown by the wind from afar.
"There's no need for people I don't know to wear a veil. What's the point of wearing a veil for people I know?" Fang Yan's expression twitched as he tried hard to suppress the anger and sadness surging in his heart, as well as the sour nose and the tears that were about to burst out.
He is a man of strong will, but he is as cowardly as a child when it comes to feelings.
He didn't know how to deal with such a situation.
He hoped that these people were strangers and enemies who wanted to kill him.
That way he will feel at ease and think it is reasonable.
Yes.
"Yes, how could you not recognize me?" The man in black smiled silently. Her eyes were red, and big tears slid down her cheeks: "You are such a smart person, how could you not guess who I am? Only people who want to cover up their identity will do such a stupid thing------I am not stupid, but I don't know why, I still want to cover my face with a black cloth. Because I really don't know how to face you-------"
"Not to mention you?" Fang Yan gritted his teeth, digging his fingers deep into the flesh of his palm. His eyes turned blood red, and the anger in his heart accumulated to a peak, and then exploded with a bang. He stared at the man in black with cold eyes, and asked with every word. "Why you?"
