When night falls, the stars gradually appear, and the people in the sky are dyed with a touch of blue, which is very beautiful.

Lin Qitian half lay on the bamboo chair, watching the sky carefully.

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman dressed as a maid came to the two, "General Duan, Vice General Lin, the banquet is about to start, please come with me." ”

Lin Qitian and Duan Liangxiao glanced at each other, then got up and followed.

Out of this palace, dozens of meters forward, you will come to a long royal road, on both sides of the vermilion wall, on the wall, there are golden tiles.

Rao is night, can also see the extraordinaryness of this royal road, although it is only a few miles away, but spread out, it can accommodate hundreds of demon beasts to cross by, and entering this royal road, Lin Qitian has already felt a breath pressing on Xing's head, it seems that a hand is pressed on his heart, making him slightly breathless.

Duan Liangxiao saw Lin Qitian's current situation, so he said in a low voice: "Relax yourself, don't encounter this breath to confront, this is the ancestor of all things, the breath of the top of the divine beast, hidden in the palace, it is also the heritage of the royal family, and it is where the national fortune of Daqian lies." ”

Lin Qitian relaxed himself according to what he said, and sure enough, his heart and mouth were much better, although he was still a little uncomfortable, but after a while, he got used to it.

The long royal road was finished in a short time, and at the end of the royal road was a large gate, which was as vermilion and red as blood, and on which hung two large beast-faced knockers.

The door was wide open, and there were eight guards with swords at the door, all of them like tigers and bears, and their eyes like falcons.

The maid brought the two here, then turned around and saluted, "The slave maid can only bring two people here, and there are naturally people inside to answer, General Duan, Deputy General Lin, and the slave and maid have retreated." ”

The two of them greeted the maid together, "Thank you." ”

The maid retreated, Duan Liangxiao stepped forward, walked to the door, and two guards with swords stopped him.

"Please show me the invitation!"

Duan Liangxiao handed himself and Lin Qitian's invitation to one of the guards, and the man took it, checked it carefully, and said behind him: "Ling Beijun, Duan Liangxiao General Duan, Lin Qitian Lin Deputy General has arrived!"

Behind him, a person crossed the knife and left, and after a while, a beautiful woman with a body like a willow and a face like a flower walked out, the woman was dressed in elegant palace clothes, with a smile on her face, and a glass lamp in her hand.

Duan Liangxiao handed over the long sword in his storage ring, and then walked past several straddle sword guards and walked in.

Several guards looked at Lin Qitian together, "Vice General Lin, please!"

Lin Qitian stepped forward and asked, "This is, all the weapons you bring must be handed over?"

One of the guards explained: "No, as long as it is an emperor's weapon or above, it must be handed in, and the rest are not needed." ”

Imperial ......

Lin Qitian didn't seem to have an emperor-level weapon or above, so he said directly: "I don't have it." ”

Then he also crossed these sword guards, followed Duan Liangxiao behind the woman, and walked inside.

Behind the door, it is naturally another world, but it is still the same as the outside, the Zhu Pavilion and the Water Pavilion Palace.

Lin Qitian felt dazzled, how could the people in it remember these places?

"General Duan, you haven't entered the Inner Palace for a long time. The delicate voice spit out from the mouth of the woman who led the way, and Lin Qitian looked for the sound, only to see the woman with a smile on her face, as if she was very familiar with Duan Liangxiao.

Duan Liangxiao had a calm face and replied lightly: "The humble position is only a foreign minister, so naturally he does not dare to enter the inner palace at will, and today he was able to enter thanks to the emperor's grace and participate in the big banquet." ”

The woman glanced at Duan Liangxiao and said with a smile: "General Duan is really modest, how can you be a foreign minister? You are a great meritorious hero, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that the outer demons would have invaded the mainland a long time ago." ”

Duan Liangxiao said with a straight face: "Girl, don't talk nonsense, the enemy and the foreign demons are the result of generations and countless soldiers donating blood, not my alone, where is there anything like me?"

Seeing Duan Liangxiao's cautious appearance, the maid immediately laughed, "Why is the general nervous, this is just a joke." ”

Duan Liangxiao continued to speak righteously: "Even if it is a joke, the girl must be cautious, deep in this great interior, she should restrain herself well. ”

Lin Qitian complained in his heart, where is this woman joking, it is clearly a heart-wrenching word, if it is listened to by some people with a heart, I am afraid that Duan Liangxiao will not want to sleep well in the past few days.

"General!" Lin Qitian suddenly shouted, his tone was very serious, as if he had something big to say.

Duan Liangxiao looked sideways, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Qitian looks like this, isn't there something very big?

"General, I suddenly remembered a story, and I don't know whether to tell it or not. ”

"Story?" Duan Liangxiao was stunned, at this time, what kind of story?

The woman who led the way seemed to be very interested in this, and said, "Please also ask Vice General Lin to talk about it." ”

Lin Qitian said: "There is a kind of bird in my hometown, which is good at chirping, crying every day, although the sound is very small, but it sounds very boring and irritable. This bird is in a day, and no one can settle down to do things, but it is more difficult to kill this bird, so they can only let it go. The next day, something happened that changed the situation. ”

The maid was intrigued, and asked, "What is happening, you say, tell me quickly." ”

Duan Liangxiao had already heard a little bit at this moment, his face changed slightly, and he glanced at Lin Qitian, with some reprimand.

Lin Qitian ignored it and continued: "Later, a flock of birds flew to my hometown, these birds we have never seen, but they will say that they are passing through this place and resting for a few days. In the course of a few days, they heard the cries of the birds, which annoyed them as well, and then the birds tore together overnight. One night later, all the birds from before were dead. An old man in my hometown asked the birds that were passing by, 'What do the dead birds do they say every day?' and the birds replied, 'Say anything, all of them are cheap, no, do you kill us......?'"

After the story was told, the maid was still leading the way in front, her eyes were lowered and she thought deeply, and then she was furious, as if she had just reacted, "You actually scolded me with a bend!"

Lin Qitian said calmly, "Yo, are you all so busy?"

The maid glared angrily, Duan Liangxiao hurriedly pulled Lin Qitian behind him, and his tone was very unkind, "Girl, I hope to lead the way, today is the birthday of a saint, you and I had better not make trouble." ”

"Are you threatening me?" The maid glanced at Lin Qitian, and then looked into Duan Liangxiao's eyes, "I know that you have great achievements, but you are now in the Great Interior, you have to follow the rules of the Great Interior, do you know who I am, who is my master?"

"Who is your master?"

A cold voice was like the cold ice of the moon, and it was poured on the head of the maid, and the momentum that was about to fight with Duan Liangxiao just now disappeared in an instant.

The maid turned her head tremblingly, and immediately knelt down, trembling her body, "Prince Yi Jin'an!"

Lin Qitian raised his eyes and saw Lei Qingyi and Yun Chen walking together, standing not far away, one wearing a cyan coat and sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes were full of coldness, making people dare not approach.

Although the other had a gentle face, the smile on the corner of his mouth was very dazzling, and no one dared to associate such appearance with this woman's true character.

"Prince Yi!" Duan Liangxiao took the lead in saluting, although they already had a good relationship in private, but now that they are in Da Nei, they are naturally in accordance with the number of etiquette.

Lin Qitian also saluted.

"No courtesy. Lei Qingyi continued to look at the maid, "You haven't said yet, who is your master?"

The maid fell to her knees and did not dare to speak.

She dared to do that to Duan Liangxiao just now, because she heard that the emperor had weakened the military resources of the Lingbei army again, and the Lingbei army had won many battles, but it seemed that the emperor did not like it, and the reward each time was not much, but the military resources were reduced from time to time.

She heard her master say that the emperor was afraid that he would be overpowered, and soon, he would make a move against the Duan family, and this Duan Liangxiao would not live long.

It was with these that this maid dared to speak to Duan Liangxiao like this, otherwise she would dare to speak like this if she was any of the main generals in other armies?

borrowed her thousands of courages, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous!

"Speak, this king wants to take a look, who brought it out of you, and dare to talk to General Duan like this, General Duan has been loyal and good for generations, and he has a knighthood, and you can drink five to six?"

"Slave maid....... The slave and maid did not dare to do it anymore....... "The maid was so frightened that she immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic.

In a few moments, the delicate forehead was bleeding.

"Hmph. Lei Qingyi glanced at her, "Today is the emperor's birthday.......

The maid immediately stopped her movements, listened carefully, and when she heard this, she already laughed secretly.

Today is the emperor's birthday, who dares to kill, what unlucky things to do, although it is likely to be punished, but as long as this little life is saved.

"What? You think you're going to be fine?"

Yun Chen suddenly spoke, causing the maid's body to shook, and the corners of her mouth that had just been raised were also suppressed.

"You, and your master, come to Prince Yi's Mansion tomorrow, you will arrange the aftermath tonight, this king only kills people, no matter how buried it!"

As soon as these words came out, the maid's mortal fate had already been decided.......

The maid fell to the ground as if she had been drained of her last strength.

Lei Qingyi didn't bother to look at the maid again, and said to Duan Liangxiao and Lin Qitian: "Let's go, let's go together." ”

The two stepped forward, Yun Chen pushed Lei Qingyi, and Lin Qitian and Duan Liangxiao accompanied them.

The four of them walked slowly together to the main hall to celebrate the emperor's birthday.
