Chapter 4183: Vanguard

Two hours, for people like Chu Yang and Leng Mingyue who have heavy responsibilities and are dedicated to pursuing the truth, is just like a passing moment, so short that it is almost imperceptible.

These two hours are like a wisp of smoke blown away by the gentle but infinitely powerful breeze, instantly disappearing in the boundless vastness of time and space, so fleeting that it is difficult to capture even a trace of it. traces.

That short time is like a flash in the pan, blooming briefly and then closing in a hurry. Before people can recover, it has quietly gone away.

However, in this seemingly fleeting time, as short as a meteor streaking across the night sky, every minute and every second carries their heavy longing and uneasiness.

It is an extremely longing for the truth, just like the endless yearning for a clear spring in the plight of a traveler in the desert who is suffering from unbearable heat and extreme thirst.

Their hearts are firmly occupied by this strong desire for the truth. That desire is like a burning, never-ending fire, hot and persistent, as if it is the entire meaning and only value of their life.

They are eager to find even an extremely weak and looming light from the mysterious clues hidden in the depths of darkness, to find that glimmer of hope that can lift the fog and dispel the gloom.

Every subtle clue, every possible hint, becomes as precious as a life-saving straw in their hearts, and they hold on tightly and never let go.

This longing for the truth, strong and persistent, has penetrated deeply into their bone marrow and integrated into their souls, becoming indispensable and indispensable in their lives.

part of the law.

Their eyes are full of exploration of the unknown and eager pursuit of answers, as if the whole world is waiting with bated breath, hoping that they can lift the mysterious veil and reveal the shocking secret hidden behind it.

At the same time, every minute and every second is also full of deep anxiety about the unknown, like cautious and tentative steps on the edge of a dark abyss. Every step he takes seems like he may fall into the endless abyss of darkness and fall into a miserable situation that will never be restored.

Every choice is like a difficult decision at a complicated and foggy fork in the road. A little carelessness may lead them to a more dangerous, unpredictable and terrifying situation, and fall into a desperate predicament that they cannot extricate themselves from.

They know that the road ahead is full of unknowns and variables, and that every hidden corner may hide a deadly trap, like a poisonous snake hiding in the grass, waiting for an opportunity, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

Every seemingly ordinary clue may be a mist that misleads them, causing them to go further and further down the wrong road and lose their direction, like a traveler who has lost his compass in the vast forest.

But even so, they still moved forward without hesitation, without flinching, without the slightest hesitation or fear.

Because the faith in their hearts is like a bright and firm light, shining warm and firm light in the darkness, illuminating their way forward, giving them endless courage and powerful strength, allowing them to survive in this world full of thorns and fog. Walk firmly on the difficult road, do not be knocked down by difficulties and setbacks, and do not be swallowed up by confusion and fear.

time

Like quicksand as fine as silky satin, it hurriedly slipped through their fingers silently.

Two hours passed by inadvertently, like sand between fingers, and it was difficult to keep them.

When the last moment came, it was regrettable that the two people's efforts did not yield any valuable discoveries. Everything remained as before, as if the clues they were pursuing had never been left on this land. It's just a tiny trace.

The surrounding environment is still immersed in silence, without even the slightest sign of abnormality. It is so quiet that it makes people feel depressed and uneasy. The tranquility was like an invisible high wall, ruthlessly isolating them from the clues. It was as if the truth they were pursuing had never existed here. It was just their wishful fantasies and extravagant hopes, which were like illusory bubbles that could burst at the touch of a finger. .

At first, a trace of unconcealable disappointment flashed across Leng Mingyue's face.

The disappointment was like a haze as thick as lead, instantly covering her originally beautiful, resolute and charming face, causing it to lose its former glory and confidence, as if it was obscured by a thick layer of dark clouds.

The original twinkling light in her eyes dimmed instantly, as if a bright star was suddenly ruthlessly obscured by dark clouds as thick as ink, and plunged into endless darkness.

But soon, the firm light once again occupied her eyes, replacing the temporary loss, like the dawn, dispelling the darkness. In fact, she had already been prepared for such an outcome.

After all, along the way, they encountered too many unimaginable and daunting difficulties and setbacks.

Every pursuit is like trudging forward in a jungle full of thorns, traps, and dangers. Every step is full of pain and hardship, and every attempt may bring new hurt and disappointment.

However, even so, there will inevitably be a ripple of disappointment in my heart.

It was a kind of deep helplessness and unwillingness, like groping in the dark for a long time but still unable to find an exit or a glimmer of hope.

That feeling is like being in a lonely boat in the vast sea, losing its direction, drifting and helpless, being beaten wantonly by the ruthless wind and waves, but unable to find a harbor to rely on. But she deeply understood that she could not stay here for a long time at this moment.

Because every moment they stay, they may fall into a more unpredictable and dangerous situation.

They are like a small boat sailing in a storm. If they are not careful, they may be swallowed by the turbulent waves, sink into endless darkness, and forever lose the opportunity to find truth and justice.

Therefore, Leng Mingyue had no choice but to take Chu Yang and leave this disappointing place for the time being.

"Interesting, these guys seem to be more cunning than I thought."

Chu Yang sighed softly, his voice full of helplessness and emotion, as if he was sighing at the impermanence of fate and accepting the cruelty of reality.

His slightly frowned brows were like two locked city gates, tightly locking the worries in his heart and preventing them from leaking out at all, as if it was the most secret corner of his heart that he didn't want to be discovered. and touch.

His eyes revealed deep thoughts, as if behind those deep eyes, there were countless thoughts colliding and intertwining fiercely.

Every

Thoughts are like twinkling stars, trying to find a way to the truth in the darkness, but they are always swallowed up by the endless darkness and cannot find the way forward.

"If these people were not so capable, they would not be so bold as to secretly stir up trouble in the Zhou Dynasty and arbitrarily frame the princes and nobles."

Leng Mingyue's voice was cold and serious, and every word was like an ice edge as sharp as a knife in the cold winter. It was not only sharp but also extremely cold, piercing people's souls and making people shudder.

The flames of anger were burning in her eyes. The flames were hot and strong, as if they were going to burn all the conspirators hidden in the darkness, turning them into ashes in the flames of justice and never being able to stand up again.

Her voice echoed in the silent air, carrying an irresistible majesty and determination that made people dare not disobey or question at all.

"Let's go. Since there are no clues here, you and I can only move to other places to search."

Chu Yang frowned, and the wrinkled lines were like mountains and ravines, deeply showing his inner worries and uneasiness, as if they were deep traces left by the years, telling his inner pain and struggle.

In his heart, every search is like groping forward in the boundless and endless darkness. He doesn't know where the faint glimmer of light is hidden, and he doesn't know when he can truly find the road to the truth. It seemed like I was wandering in darkness forever, unable to find a way out.

His eyes were full of confusion and confusion, but at the same time there was also a hint of unyielding stubbornness, a kind of unwillingness to accept fate.

The determination to bow his head and not give in to difficulties is the last persistence and bottom line deep in his heart.

"Where do you want to go this time?"

Leng Mingyue suddenly turned around, her movements quick and decisive, like lightning across the night sky, instantly illuminating the darkness.

Those playful eyes stared closely at Chu Yang, as if she wanted to see through his inner world without leaving any secrets, as if it was her weapon to see through everything and be able to penetrate all disguises and cover-ups.

Her gaze was like a sharp sword, sharp and sharp, as if she wanted to penetrate the depths of Chu Yang's soul, explore the truest thoughts in his heart, and dig out the most secret corners of his heart. There was a trace of expectation in her eyes, hoping that Chu Yang could follow her thoughts and find a way out of this complicated situation with her, break through the darkness and usher in the light, as if they were comrades fighting side by side, facing the unknown together. challenges and difficulties.

"Go to a place you have sent people to before. There may be some clues hidden there. I think with your wisdom you should be able to guess where I am referring to. If you can't even guess that..."

Before Leng Mingyue finished speaking, Chu Yang had already guessed that the place the other party was referring to was the residence of the Minister of Rites.

After all, in the entire Zhou Dynasty, this was the only place where Chu Yang had sent people to search carefully, but the one he sent at that time was his future self.

"If you don't mention this person, I will almost forget about him, so what role did he play in this matter."

There was a hint of doubt in Chu Yang's tone. The doubt was like a fog so thick that people couldn't see the way forward clearly. It shrouded his thoughts and plunged him into a deep trance.

When I was thinking deeply, I felt as if I was lost in a foggy forest and couldn't find a way out.

He tried to get more precise information from Leng Mingyue, eager to find a clear clue in this complicated and messy situation, just like desperately looking for that one life-saving straw in the vast sea, that was his only hope and sustenance.

His eyes were full of expectation and desire, hoping that Leng Mingyue could solve the mystery in his heart and point him to the way forward, as if she was his beacon in the darkness and could lead him out of his predicament.

Leng Mingyue fell into deep thought for a moment, as if sorting out all kinds of information about the Minister of Rites in his mind, as if he was flipping through a thick and complicated book.

Then she gave an evaluation.

"He can barely be regarded as a pawn with a distinguished status, but according to my investigation, his status is not high. He is more of a person who takes over the two sides."

Her voice was calm and steady, as if she was talking about an ordinary thing that had nothing to do with her. However, her eyes revealed deep concern about the current situation. It was an indescribable heaviness, as if the weight of the whole world was weighing on her. It weighed on her heart, making her breathless.

There was a hint of worry in her eyes, as if she saw an approaching storm, sweeping towards them, with the power and momentum to destroy everything.
