Chapter 624: Times Have Changed
The young magistrate remained unmoved by the man's sarcasm. He just looked at the man in front of him and smiled, "You have been hiding for all these years, and you didn't even see the princess for the last time. Don't you think it's boring?"
The man was silent, just staring at the young magistrate in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
The young magistrate smiled and said, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Why bother yourself?"
The man said, "That makes sense."
The young magistrate said, "Zhou Xianshan, I didn't come here to reminisce with you."
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, the man was silent for a long time, as if during this time, those long-lost memories, those things hidden deep in his mind, began to surge again.
It has been a long time since anyone mentioned his name. I think even those old people in the capital of God, few people still remember his name.
Time has always been fair. When you move forward, you will naturally leave behind a lot of things.
Memory is like this.
The man laughed at himself and said, "Where is Zhou Xianshan in the world?"
The young county magistrate nodded and smiled, "That's true. If those outsiders knew you were still alive, you would have to die again."
The man asked back, "Since you know about this, it seems that you must have put a lot of effort into it. What do you want from me?"
He didn't have many friends in his life, and he could count them on one hand. Among these friends, no matter what, there should not be this person in front of him. Since they are not friends, then what it means is naturally clear.
"I want to ask a question, you don't have to rush to tell me the answer, just think it through before you say it, but you have to understand that once you tell a lie, your identity and where you are may be known to many people."
The young county magistrate spoke slowly, and there was naturally an undisguised threat in his words.
The man turned a deaf ear and just glanced at the sky. In the distant sky, the few dark clouds were dispersing at this moment.
Will there be a sunny day after the rain or another bigger rainstorm?
It's hard to say.
"After so many years of idleness, isn't it good to just continue living like this? Why do you have to get involved in those things?"
The young magistrate smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that it will directly involve countless people like in the past?"
The man said, "I have been alone for a long time."
"Brother Zhou, even if you don't regard that woman as your wife, can you watch her die like this?"
The young magistrate looked past the man on the threshold and looked further inside. There was a woman busy in the yard, and she didn't know what was happening outside the door.
The man said calmly, "Since it is a means to deceive people, what is there to worry about.♦♦🆂🅷🆄🆇.🅲♦🅼"
"Okay, what a good scholar."
The young county magistrate raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you have nothing to worry about, I will kill the woman first and then ask?"
The man was silent for a moment and sighed, "Why do you have to do this?"
The young county magistrate smiled and said, "If that's the case, I hope Brother Zhou will tell you everything you know."
The man remained silent.
The young county magistrate asked, "Why did Brother Zhou choose to come here in the first place? If it was to hide, there is so much in the world that you can go anywhere. Why must it be Weizhou, why must it be Tianqing County?"
The man remained silent.

The young magistrate smiled and said, "So you agree?"
The young magistrate said, "Since you have been here for many years, can you tell me what you know?"
The man shook his head and said, "It's no good to know so much."
The young magistrate said calmly, "But I have come so far, I must know something."
The man stopped talking and just rubbed his cheek.
The young magistrate frowned and said, "If Brother Zhou really doesn't want to tell me, then I..."
"You can tell me, but I just want to know what kind of old friend you are to me." The man thought about it and couldn't figure out the identity of the young magistrate in front of him.
The young magistrate smiled and said, "Do you have the power to choose now?"
The man nodded and said, "It seems that according to you, I don't have it... After all, you are very great. A Wangyou, who came to trouble me personally, how could I do anything..."
The young magistrate said, "I know..."
Before he finished speaking, the man had stood up from the threshold and walked in front of the young magistrate. Then he stretched out a hand. The young magistrate frowned slightly, and his clothes rippled, as if a calm lake like a mirror suddenly had waves at this moment.
But it was this little wave that allowed him to avoid the man's hand.
The young magistrate retreated, and said calmly, "Brother Zhou has made good progress in his realm over the years, but it is still a little short of the mark."
The man said "oh", then took a heavy step forward and hit the young magistrate in the chest. The latter put his hand on the man's shoulder and was about to push the man away with a light push, but he didn't expect that the man's collision would have a force of tens of millions of pounds. He had no choice but to be led by the man in front of him and hit the opposite courtyard door.
With a loud bang, a wooden door was smashed in an instant, and wood chips flew everywhere.
The young magistrate looked ugly, retreated all the way, and hit the beams used to support the house. He stopped, but before he could react, the man in front of him had already punched him in the face.
The man who hadn't fought with others for many years sighed, "Some of my hands are rusty."
The young magistrate reacted and slapped the man's shoulder. The man stepped back a few steps and dodged the blow.
The young magistrate frowned slightly, took a breath, and said curiously, "I didn't expect that you would not lose your spirit. You have been hiding in the streets and alleys for these years, but you can actually take a few more steps forward."
It is not easy to practice, especially at this level. If you have something in your heart, it is almost impossible to forget your worries.
The young magistrate knew what the man in front of him had experienced before, so he absolutely did not believe that the man in front of him could really step into that realm and become a so-called person who forgets worries.
But the facts are in front of him again.
The young magistrate was a little disappointed, but more angry.
When he was in the academy, the man in front of him suppressed him everywhere. After all these years, time has changed. He originally thought that the two of them had already been worlds apart, but he never expected that when they met again, they were still on par with each other.
The man raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that there are some clues, but I am too lazy to think about it. If you peel off your skin, you will know."
The young county magistrate smiled and said, "Oh?"
The man hummed, looked around, then twisted his neck and smiled, "I was indeed a weak scholar at the beginning, but that was at the beginning..."
"Now, it's different..."
