The woman in black was straight to the point and told the key point in one sentence. Although she was cold, she was not stupid at all and had her own thoughts.

Xiao Buyi had an embarrassment on his face. After hearing the woman in black pointing out her doubts, he said seriously: "Yes, I did have suspicion for you at that moment."

The woman in black sighed when she heard him admit it, "Actually, I'm guessing. I just thought that people can be inseparable from each other. I also thought... I can get your trust by following you all the way. So... Fu Pingju came suddenly, and someone must have leaked the news, so you doubted me?"

Xiao Buyi was silent for a while, "What you said is indeed a suspicious point. I came to Queshan this time and didn't know that the ministers in the court knew about it. They only knew that I was staying in the door. And not many people knew about my whereabouts... but what really puzzled me was that I had seen the shield used by Fu Pingju when Luoshui attacked..."

"So you suspect that Fu Pingju was originally with me. Since he killed your life, I am no exception?"

Xiao Buyi heard her question sharply, but said seriously: "Yes, I only have one life, and I have too many responsibilities. How can I accidentally do it?"

He said sincerely, and the woman in black nodded and said, "So that's it."

After she finished speaking, she said nothing. Xiao Buyi didn't know what she was thinking, but she didn't ask. She sat down cross-legged and waited for the bearded guest to turn around.

Seeing this, the woman in black picked up a piece of rock and sat down. However, she looked at the floating clouds and distant mountains in the sky. The wind blew, and she felt a bone-chilling chill. She murmured: "It's probably going to snow."

Xiao Buyi didn't understand the meaning and couldn't answer the conversation. It can be seen that the woman in black did not mean to blame her, but instead felt a little guilty about her suspicion. But he was helpless. He was now burdened. Of course, he had to be careful. If he had not been careful today, he might have died a few years ago.

The two sat on the top of the mountain waiting quietly, but no bearded guests came. The sun set and the sky was shrouded in twilight. Xiao Buyi sighed softly, "Go back." The woman in black nodded and followed silently, waiting at the foot of the mountain. Sun Shaofang waited early.

It turned out that Sun Shaofang had Xiao Buyi's orders, and he had been on the other side of the mountain. During the fight, he had already arrived. He saw Xiao Buyi reaching the top of the mountain and sitting silently with the woman in black. For fear of inconvenience, he waited at the foot of the mountain again.

Seeing Xiao Buyi coming, Sun Shaofang said, "Boss Xiao... Zhai asked them to go out of the valley and head to Wagang."

The woman in black turned her eyes on his face. She wanted to say something, but finally she held it back. Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send the order to order Zhang Zhenzhou to attack Luokou tomorrow morning, Wang Shichong attack Yuecheng, Henei Tonggu Meng Shanyi crossed the Yellow River and went out of Niukou to attack the North Wagang Army of Xingyang, Shu Zhanwei led his troops to attack Fangshan, and there must be no mistakes."

Sun Shaofang took the order and stepped down, but the woman in black said, "Tell me the plan. Are you not afraid that I will leak it?"

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "I used four armies to attack Li Mi at the same time. Now who knows or not, it doesn't matter to my plan."

The woman in black murmured: "Now the Wagang power is controlled by you. Luokou is the westernmost location of Wagang. Yuecheng is close to Luokoucang. If these two places are conquered, Luokoucang will only rely on temporary building defense. Even if there are large troops stationed, it will probably be panic and will soon be defeated."

Xiao Buyi smiled, "You are right. Li Mi is good at using strategies, but he controls his subordinates with ambition. Although he is prosperous very fast, he is afraid of decline. He is good at using strange troops, ambushing Zhang Xutuo, taking Jindi Pass, and attacking Luokou Cang. But his soldiers rarely have tough battles, and in terms of execution ability, they are still not as powerful as the Sui army. But his power is still huge now. If we attack urgently, we are afraid of heavy losses. But today we will attack one place and attack another land tomorrow. When the Wagang army leaves again, Li Mi kills the old subordinates of Wagang. Maybe I don't need me to attack, and they will defeat themselves without attacking."

"But Niukou is in the northeast and Fangshan is in the south. Your four armies are not catching turtles in the jar." The woman in black frowned and said, "There is a huge gap in the southeast, I'm afraid that the Wagang army will be defeated and fled from that direction."

A sly smile flashed in Xiao Buyi's eyes, "It's better that they escaped. Now I'm just worried that they won't escape. The reason why the Wagang people can still be in chaos is in Li Mi and Luokou Cang. If they lose Luokou Cang, with Li Mi's ability to heaven, they can no longer cause trouble! Although the Wagang bandits are not what the court officials say about hungry thieves and rice robbers, after all, they use food as the foundation. Without Luokou Cang, how can they survive?"

The woman in black sighed softly, "Although I don't understand many things, it seems that Li Mi will still be defeated by you."

Xiao Buyi's heart was slightly moved, "I don't know if there is any record of this matter in the Book of Heaven."

The woman in black stared at Xiao Buyi for a long time and shook her head and said, "I don't know."

The two of them were silent again, but Xiao Buyi whistled. The moonlight ran from afar, following the woman in black, and followed her mount. The two of them turned over and walked straight east.

"Return to Dongdu?" asked the woman in black.

Xiao Buyi nodded and shook his head again, "Before returning to Dongdu, I will go to see someone first."

The woman in black nodded and did not ask, suddenly said, "Xiao Buyi, since you have the help of a bearded guest, I can rest assured for the time being. If he turns around, I want to leave for a while and do something."

Xiao Buyi was surprised, "If you want to go, go, I will pretend that I will not stop you, but where are you going, do you need help?"

The woman in black sighed: "Xiao Buyi, who kind of person are you?"

Xiao Buyi was stunned, "What do you mean by this?"

The woman in black said for a while: "Actually, I was very angry with you. I didn't have many opportunities to kill Fu Ping's residence, but you missed it easily. The root of it was that you became suspicious, which disappointed me. But after you explained, I felt it was acceptable. After all, you are different from me. You are now far more burdened than me and you think more. I saw you step by step and force Li Mi to a desperate situation, and you use all the means, but you are not bad to your friends. I think... Even if you see you with some intentions, I'm afraid you will change your original intention."

Xiao Buyi refused to miss every word the woman in black said, and after a while, he said, "Thank you. But you must be angry, otherwise why should you leave?"

The woman in black asked back, "Have I ever asked you about the secret of Tianji?"

"No." Xiao Buyi shook his head.

"Have I asked you how to deal with Li Mi?"

"No, either." Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly.

"Then I never seem to have asked you why the bearded guest knew Fu Pingju?"

Xiao Buyi could only say: "I don't know why Brother Zhang knew Fu Pingju. You are right. You have never asked me anything. Of course, you can't answer any questions."

"You are actually too smart. Many things may not be said by others, but you have already thought of them." The woman in black looked at the darkness in the distance and said in a deep voice: "I actually just want to tell you that many things, I don't know either! Do you know why I only eat plain rice?"

Xiao Buyi said after a while: "Maybe it is for practicing martial arts, or maybe it is for losing weight..."

He tried his best to make the atmosphere relaxed, but the woman in black smiled bitterly and said, "Loss weight? Do you know, when I was a child, what did I eat in the fields? Rice bran is mixed with weeds. Sometimes, pigs don't eat it! When I was a child, my biggest wish was to eat a bowl of rice without rice bran, but that request was a luxury..."

Xiao Buyi fell silent and looked at the woman in black thoughtfully, as if she was a little closer to her. He had never heard the woman who was eating a meal say something about her. She was an indifferent person, but why did she say it today?

"When I was a child, I ate everything I could eat in the fields. That year, the drought was severe, and there was no harvest. There was a plague in a flash, and countless deaths were caused by illness. I could only find some earthworms in the fields to fill my hunger... But the earthworms were not fat, and the rats' body was about the same thickness as their tails." The woman in black smiled indifferently, looking more sad, and she spoke in a plain tone. When Xiao Buyi thought of the words "earthworms were not fat, she felt that the woman in black was calm and felt her heart palpitations.

The woman in black continued, "Once, my mother couldn't stand being hungry, and even said to me, Si Nan, if you die, you will eat your mother, that's enough for you to live.

Xiao Buyi suddenly turned his head and looked over, and saw that the black scarf was wet. In the darkness, the woman's tears shone brightly. Xiao Buyi's heart trembled slightly. He had seen too many women crying, but he had never seen a woman in black crying. In his opinion, the woman in black was as cold as a snow-capped ice cave, but he never thought that she had had such a tragic experience. Perhaps her indifference was just a see-through of life and death.

Si Nan? It turns out that the woman who was eating rice was Si Nan? Xiao Buyi thought to himself.

The woman in black was silent for a long time, and Xiao Buyi just listened silently. When night fell, the sky was shrouded in darkness. The stars blinked and released insignificant light.

In the wilderness, the cold wind blew, the cold things lie dormant, the horse's hooves sounded, stepping on the endless darkness...

Xiao Buyi thought of the words you ate your mother and suddenly felt like she wanted to cry.

It’s not that people eat people, but in addition to the Buddha, there is also a mother who can sacrifice himself to feed the eagle!

"I have known from then on that I must not waste a grain of food." The woman in black whispered: "You think it's weird for me to eat a bowl of white rice, but I think I'm very happy. It's really good to eat a bowl of white rice, and I'm very content."

Xiao Buyi was moved and said softly: "Always eating rice is not nutritious, you can eat something else."

"I am reminding myself not to forget the past." The woman in black continued, unsurprising. "Later, my mother... was about to starve to death. She gave me all the food, but she couldn't live for a few days. At this time, someone saved me."

Xiao Buyi wanted to ask who it was, but finally held it back.

"From then on, I was taught martial arts and practicing swordsmanship by that man, and I didn't have to worry about not having food all day long. But that man didn't say he was my Master, and just asked me to help him do three things to repay his kindness. So I said that there was no Master, and it was not a lie to you. As for whether there is any record of you in the Book of Heaven, I have never read the complete Book of Heaven, so I didn't know. Would I not believe what you said to me if you say such a person?"

"What does that person look like?" Xiao Buyi's heart thumped.

The woman in black shook her head and said, "Sorry, I can't say it. But I think he has no malicious intentions towards you..."

Xiao Buyi was disappointed unexpectedly and pondered for a long time, "What three things do you want to do for him?"

"These three things I am grateful for his life-saving grace, and I have done them willingly. It has been completed by one and a half." The woman in black hesitated. "The first thing you should know is Luoshui attacks and assassinates Yang Guang."

"You really want to assassinate Yang Guang?" Xiao Buyi said in surprise.

The woman in black nodded. "It has happened, I don't have to hide it. I received the order. I did want to kill Yang Guang. As for your appearance later, it was something that no one expected. As for the person holding the shield, the person who saved me and found the land for me. I actually didn't know them, but they all had the courage to be brave and not afraid of death. It shocked me...I heard that they were people from the Fire Sect, and I didn't know what the Fire Sect is... I had never asked them. Originally, these things seemed to me to be irrelevant. Do you know?"

Xiao Buyi shook his head, "I don't know either."

The woman in black didn't ask questions and said thoughtfully: "The man who assassinated Yang Guang with me should not be Fu Pingju, but even if Fu Pingju is about to kill you, I will stop him!"

Xiao Buyi sighed relieved, "You just said three things, why did you complete one and a half?" "Although the assassination of Yang Guang was a mistake, the person who saved me did not blame me, he just said it was due to God's will. Yang Guang's energy was not over yet. Do you believe in it?" the woman in black asked suddenly.

Xiao Buyi said for a while: "I don't know. But if I want to explain, it means that the time has not come."

The woman in black thought for a while and nodded, "The timing you said is easier to understand than the amount of energy. My second thing is to come to protect you. Zhang Xutuo wanted to kill you, but he notified me. The person who saved me said that someone was going to attack you, and I should get rid of it, but most of the time he never thought that I could not solve it even if I wanted to kill you. The person I could solve was no longer a threat to you, but I had actually become useless..."

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "I have never seen a useless person who is so helpful to me."

The woman in black sighed softly, "Do you know the biggest difference between you and Li Mi?"

Xiao Buyi said seriously: "I wish to hear and see."

"I'm not a high opinion, I just have a little opinion." The woman in black said calmly: "Li Mi only wants to be the commander of his subordinates. He put himself in the position of God, just like Yang Guang, feeling that he can do everything and they lack anything, but they just lack a person to awaken himself. Perhaps it is because they can't listen at all."

Xiao Buyi silently pondered the words of the woman in black and heard her say, "You are different. You like to be your subordinates' friends. You always think that you are an ordinary person. This is very good, but I don't know, as your rights grow, will you change? Although I think my martial arts are not bad, since the bearded guest is here, I think I can finally do the third thing."

"What do you do?" Xiao Buyi couldn't help asking. The first two things changed drastically for him, and he had to care about the third thing.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you." The woman in black turned her head and looked at Xiao Buyi, with apologetic eyes in the cold darkness, "He said, you can't tell anyone until you finish anything."

"Then... be careful." Xiao Buyi said with concern.

The woman in black turned her head and said, "Li Mi is going to be defeated, so I decided to leave tonight."

Xiao Buyi frowned, unable to think of any relationship here. Although the woman in black was about to leave, she still urged her to move forward. Xiao Buyi was puzzled and suddenly wanted to listen to her talk more. In his subconscious mind, he felt that this woman was as arrogant as snow, and most of her proud personality. Unexpectedly, after listening to her for a long time today, she realized that this introverted personality was mostly due to her life experience. She should have never mentioned these to others, right? Xiao Buyi thought to herself.

"Xiao Buyi, I have never talked about these things to the second person. Do you know why I want to talk about them today?" the woman in black said suddenly.

Xiao Buyi said seriously: "I am grateful for it."

The woman in black sighed softly, "I'm afraid that if I don't tell you again, I will never have a chance again! Xiao Buyi's heart was shocked, "If it's very dangerous, maybe you can consider another solution!"

The woman in black was silent for a long time, "You and I are different types of people, but you and I have the same things. There are too many differences, but there is only one thing in common. You and I don't live for ourselves. This is a life... an irresistible life... it is also the life I chose, and I don't regret it!"

After saying this, she had turned her head and headed south. She had only taken a few steps, and suddenly strangled the horse and turned around and looked over. When she saw Xiao Buyi, she also looked at her, and her eyes were shining in the darkness.

"Xiao Buyi, I want to ask you something."

"Excuse me."

"I heard that Tianji has died once. I wonder if it is true or false?"

Xiao Buyi pondered for a moment and nodded, "If I were Tianji, then it would be true!"

The woman in black nodded, "So, he said the ground is right, right. I can only tell you one thing, my third thing is related to you. If I die, I will definitely pass it on to you, writing my request, and the letter is signed..." She thought for a while and said softly: "It's Sinan who eats white rice."

After she said this, she quickly raised her whip to the south. She heard the horse's hooves storm and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

Xiao Buyi stared at her far away, and suddenly felt a sense of reluctance in his heart. The woman in black was like air. Sometimes, you might not think of her existence. If it really didn't exist, it would be a kind of suffocating depression. He admitted that he had failed. He originally wanted to explore the secret of Taiping Road from the woman in black. But the woman in black undoubtedly knew not much.
