"The old minister retired first!"

"Master Li, go slowly!"

Long Enhua sent off the ministers with a smile, and when he thought that he had successfully won Zhou Dingfeng's support tonight, his mood could not be calmed for a long time.

It wasn't until he got into the carriage that he could still feel the frenzy of his heart gradually surging up like a fountain, and finally, he felt that he could no longer suppress it.

"Hahahaha......"

"Hahahaha...... Hahaha"

"God help me...... God help me!"

After you go back, you must thank the Lan Lao who introduced you to the channel and provided help to smuggle the dancing girl.

Although he has paid a lot of money, as long as he can get the support of the Zhou family, then everything is worth it.

At this time, the coachman who was sitting in front of him and the guards around him were a little confused.

"Are the five princes crazy today?"

"I think it's probably because the Eagle Elder is mad!"

"No, didn't they just invite a few gentlemen? And no matter how bold they are, they shouldn't be able to make trouble at the banquet of the five princes!"

"You don't know this, I heard that it seems that those two evil young men have family forces behind them, so they forcibly insulted those Western Regions dancers at the banquet!"

"I saw with my own eyes that the man surnamed Xiao and the surnamed Liu were driven out in the middle of the banquet, the surnamed Xiao was kicked out first, and the one surnamed Liu also came out after a while!"

"Besides, you don't know, especially the dancing girl in white, tsk, it's really the best.

"If you can let me sleep with her, let me die right away!"

"That's right!" Thinking of the beautiful figure of the white-clothed dancing girl, coupled with the bad roots of those gentlemen, the guard suddenly figured it out as if he had opened his mouth, "This big brother, you are so smart, the little brother is simply ashamed of himself!"

The guard was praised by his companion like this, and instantly smiled, raised his chin, and said proudly: "That's it, follow my brother in the future, and I guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food!"

"Hey, Brother Xiao, wait for me!"

Liu Yuan could be regarded as catching up with Fang Ling in a small alley, and said while panting behind him: "Brother Xiao, why are you so angry, isn't it just a hundred-year-old cold pool incense, how about I go back and give you a few altars for you!"

Seeing that Fang Ling turned his back to him and didn't speak, Liu Yuan thought that Xiao Yingyu thought that a few altars were too few, so he spoke again: "If you are too little, I will give you a few more altars in the future, and my father will have too much!"

"If Brother Xiao is absolutely okay, then go back, junior brother will invite Brother Xiao to go to the Jade Pavilion to get drunk now, and then go to Yihong Courtyard to find a top card to play, just let the junior brother accompany Brother Xiao!" Liu Yuan pretended to be arrogant.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yingyu turned around.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan thought that he was moved by his own conditions, and immediately gritted his teeth fiercely: "Hmph, as long as I plant this Gu worm into your body, how about you today!"

Suddenly, Liu Yuan was stunned, and he looked at Fang Ling in front of him in a daze.

The faint moonlight shone on the room next to it, pulling out a long shadow on the ground, covering Xiao Yingyu's right side of the body. Under the moonlight, only his general body could be seen, and the other half was vaguely revealed in the darkness. There was no expression on his white face, only a pair of eyes like stars in the sky looking at him indifferently.

That kind of look seemed to be looking at an ant, and Liu Yuan felt a strong pressure from him that he had never felt before.

Gradually, he felt a sudden darkness in front of his eyes, and his consciousness slowly disappeared.

With a "bang", Liu Yuan finally fell to the floor unconscious.

When he woke up, he found himself in a strange place.

It was a dilapidated thatched house, sitting on top of a pile of weeds, leaning against a dusty wooden wall.

He tried to stimulate the spiritual power in his body, but found that his dantian seemed to be sealed by something, and he returned in vain.

When Liu Yuan realized that he was powerless to help the predicament, he decided to calm down and save some strength.

Confused, he couldn't remember why he was here for a while, but gradually, his consciousness gradually recovered.

"Xiao Yingyu!"

After chasing him out, he followed him all the way to a small alley, and then ...... Then he lost consciousness.

Did he bring himself here?

It should be right, the situation at that time, there was no one around him but him, why did he do this, did he already know my plan?

No way!

In addition to himself, only an adult and the old man in the black robe should know about this matter, is it for something else?

I didn't show any intention of killing him on weekdays, except last time!

Could it be that it wasn't that there was a problem with my poison last time, but that he saw through the plan and didn't drink it, or configure drugs such as antidote pills in advance.

So, is he here for revenge this time?

Thinking of this, his heart instantly pinched.

At this moment, a "creak" sound was remembered, and the door next to it was gently pushed open, but Liu Yuan couldn't turn his head to look because his head was firmly fixed.

Xiao ...... Ying Yu?" he asked tentatively.

The man walked up to him, and all he could see was a pair of clean blue men's boots because he was sitting.

The toe section of the blue bootie is embroidered with a golden unicorn that has always been lifelike. He was stunned, and immediately recognized the identity of the person in front of him.

"Sure enough, it's you!" Liu Yuan licked his dry lips and smiled bitterly.

The man in front of him crouched down, and the bright moonlight outside illuminated his face.

A handsome face came into view, yes, it was Fang Ling!

However, at this time, Fang Ling gave people a mountain-like feeling, a kind of coercion carved into the bones from his temperament, which clearly came from him.

The indifferent eyes are intimidating.

Liu Yuan smiled bitterly: "Who the hell are you!"

"Why, Brother Liu's memory is so bad, he won't know me so soon?" The corners of Fang Ling's mouth slightly hooked a curvature, revealing the evil smile in Liu Yuan's memory, and the figure in front of him gradually merged with the figure.

Liu Yuan laughed sarcastically: "I see, the Xiao family's famous waste son is actually all deliberately created illusions, what a Xiao family, a good Xiao Yingyu!"

"The world wears a mask, which is put on when you get up during the day, and when you come home at night, it will be exposed. ”

That's why the thieves and robbers only show up at night, because they live a normal life during the day, just like ordinary people, and even worse, one second they are playing chess with their next door neighbor, and the next moment they are running to steal his things. ”

And maybe when you wake up during the day, you will pretend to be sympathetic to comfort you. Once this mask stays for a long time, it can't be taken off!" Fang Ling looked at him indifferently, and from his cold and deep eyes, Liu Yuan seemed to see the passage of time between the spring and autumn periods.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Can I go back?"

Fang Ling smiled at him, revealing his snow-white and neat teeth, "If you were me, do you think you can go back?"

Looking at the jade-like young man in front of him, the smile at this time seemed to be like a netherworld opening a big mouth to himself.

He knew that there was no hope for him!

Originally, he thought that he could get away with it, but at this moment he finally realized the horror of the young man in front of him.

No matter what he was for, he was able to completely hide himself under the skin of a gentleman's disciple and endure it for more than ten years. In this state of mind, even Liu Yuan himself is ashamed of himself.

I was able to fall into the hands of this kind of person, and the ending was doomed from the beginning.

He smiled casually, "When did you notice me?"

Fang Ling's eyes looked at this friend who was both strange and familiar, and the nervousness and fear that he had seen in his eyes at the beginning had disappeared.

This is a dead man.

With a conclusion in his heart, Fang Ling smiled faintly and said, "I have planned all this since you conspired with that black-robed old man in Baiyulou to kill me!"

Liu Yuan's expression was shocked: "Didn't you take revenge on me because I poisoned you?"

"Is there a difference?" Xiao Yingyu asked rhetorically.

Liu Yuan was slightly stunned, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Hehe, yes, now that the matter is now, it really doesn't matter why the purpose is!"

"But can you tell me how you heard that?"

Liu Yuan has a will to die in his heart, and it seems that it doesn't matter at this moment, but he doesn't want to leave doubts before he dies, and he just doesn't want to die blindly.

"When Xiao Zhenshan tested for you, there were people from the four major families at that time, and there was absolutely no way to fake it!"

"Your qualifications are inferior, you can't cultivate, you definitely can't use the exercises, and if you don't have spiritual power, what kind of magic weapon do you use!"

Obviously, he didn't think that an eighteen-year-old boy would possess the spiritual power of a second-grade alchemist.

Xiao Yingyu laughed and said, "Who said that eavesdropping must use exercises and magic weapons, isn't it better to have spiritual power?"

"Impossible, if you want to do the wall exploration, you must at least have second-grade spiritual power!" Liu Yuan looked at Fang Ling in shock, he really couldn't imagine that the eighteen-year-old boy in front of him would actually have second-grade spiritual power.

You must know that the difficulty of cultivating spiritual power is much higher than that of spiritual power, and the requirements for qualifications are even higher, which is why the identity of the alchemist in this world is so noble, after all, scarcity is precious.

Fang Ling didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he directly hit Liu Yuan's Zhihai with a spiritual attack.

Liu Yuan suddenly felt a domineering spiritual power coming in from the sea of knowledge, and he wanted to resist, but it was like a stream meeting a fountain, and resistance became meaningless.

In normal times, he could still use his aura to resist, but at this time, the dantian was sealed by a mysterious force, and the powerful spiritual power of the five layers of the Spirit Martial Realm that he had worked hard to cultivate on weekdays was useless.

But fortunately, that spiritual power was simply withdrawn after it broke in.

Liu Yuan looked at the young man in front of him incredulously, and then suddenly chuckled and said: "Brother Xiao, I always thought that you were just a fool who achieved nothing, and I thought that I would play you in the palm of my hand, but I didn't expect that in this Qingfeng Country, you are actually a genius who has passed through the heavens and the earth! ”

Xiao Yingyu looked at him deeply: "Okay, everything you want to know has been told to you, and then it's Brother Liu's turn to solve Xiao's doubts!"

Liu Yuan laughed: "Liu asked you, that's one thing, you can say it or not, but if you ask Liu, it's another matter, Liu can say it or not, naturally!"

Fang Ling's eyes turned cold, and he said faintly: "Brother Liu, my patience is limited, I heard that Brother Liu and a personal maid of his own family seem to have been walking very close!"

Liu Yuan's eyes suddenly widened, and his teeth were about to crack: "Xiao Yingyu, it's not a disaster for Pang Ren, there is a kind of rush at me!"

Fang Ling smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in men, I'm a person, you also know that as long as you're unhappy, you'll do something drastic." Fang Ling said meaningfully: "I hope you don't want me to be unhappy!"

Liu Yuan closed his eyes, and the tension and fear that had dissipated in his heart before surged up again.

He actually knew!

In order to prevent her from being in danger on weekdays, every time I meet him, I choose to meet him in the middle of the night, even the people above don't know about her existence, how did Xiao Yingyu know!

All in all, now Xiao Yingyu has completely grasped his vital point, just like hitting a snake in seven inches.

"What do you want to know?" Liu Yuan asked lightly.

Fang Ling put his hands behind his back and said softly: "I want to know, it's very simple, there are only two questions. First, who is going to harm me, and second, why is it going to hurt me?"

Liu Yuan looked up at the stars outside the window, and said lightly: "I don't know these two questions, what I can tell you is only everything I know!"

"Hmm. Fang Ling raised his chin and motioned for him to continue.

"Once upon a time there was a little boy whose parents abandoned him when he was very young, and then, when he was five years old, he was picked up by an old man from a pile of beggars on the street. ”

At the beginning, the old man treated him like his own child, taking care of him every day, teaching him how to cultivate, helping him open up his muscles and veins, and teaching him powerful exercises.

Therefore, the teenager was grateful to him from an early age. Always hoping to be able to do something for him.

But whenever the boy asked, the old man would say, "There will be a chance in the future!"

Finally, when he was ten years old, he had this opportunity.

That day, the old man brought back a boy as old as him from outside. The boy looked very similar to him, and even had the exact same body shape.

The old man threw him a dagger, and he told him to kill the boy and then peel his face off.

He was scared, but he knew. The old man is a man who says everything, and he will do it in the end.

Finally, in the fear of death, he knocked the boy to the ground.

That young man is a noble child, pampered since he was a child, but the young man has been practicing martial arts with the old man since he was a child, and he is very skilled, and that young man can't beat him at all.

He crushed the boy to the ground and slammed his fist on his head. Until they beat him to death completely.

He cut off the face little by little, from the chin to the cheek and then to the forehead. Finally, he dragged the face off with his hands, and the bloody flesh splashed his face with scarlet blood!

He gave that face to the old man, who then cut off his face and sewed the young man's face for him and replaced it!

When he woke up again, he had completely become the same boy. The boy who was killed by his own hands and cut off his flesh.

The old man used secret methods to forcibly instill a large number of strange memories into him. Then they sent him out and left him in a dead end. And he departed on his own.

He had never seen the old man since. It was as if the world had evaporated, and he had disappeared without a trace.

It didn't take long for a team of city guards to find him, and he successfully entered Liu's house according to the old man's arrangement for him.

With the information instilled in his mind, he turned into a noble little son of the Liu family, the four major families.

He lurked in Liu's house, slowly searching for news.

"That's right, that boy is me!"

Liu Yuan laughed miserably: "Okay, this is all I know, if you want to kill or chop it, you can do whatever you want!"

"As for the mastermind behind the scenes, I don't know anything, I only know that a few years ago, an old man in a black robe suddenly appeared in front of me and took out the personal jade pendant of the adult who adopted me back then. ”

"At that time, the lord once instructed me that if anyone appeared in front of me in the future with his personal jade pendant, then he would be my master and tell me to do things for him. ”

"After I looked closely, I confirmed that it was the jade pendant, and then I began to accept his orders!"

"But every time he contacts me through a single line, I can't contact him, and I don't even know who he is!"

"However, although there are countless things he has asked me to do over the years, almost all of them are people in the court, so I guess that the lord is likely to be someone in the palace, or even a prince!"

"People in the court!"

After listening to Liu Yuan's speech, Fang Ling fell into deep thought.

Although I had thought before that the mastermind behind the scenes was likely to be an official of the imperial court, even a prince was no exception. But now that it has been confirmed, I can't help but feel a little difficult. The Xiao family has been loyal and martyr generals for generations, there is no doubt about this, otherwise with the current strength of the Xiao family, they would have been able to launch a rebellion a long time ago.

It is precisely because of this that if Old Man Xiao and his father knew about the royal family they were loyal to, and actually wanted to get rid of their grandson, it would definitely cause a huge blow to their hearts at that time, leaving a lifetime of regret, which Fang Ling did not want to see, since he was reborn, he had gradually integrated into this family and was used to everything around him, so he couldn't bear to see his father and the white-haired old man in the family sad.

Coupled with his current strength, he will definitely be constrained when he sits up. However, if it really comes to that point, it can only be said that they have suffered on their own, and they have already let everything they can make, and the clay man is also angry, not to mention that he is still the high-ranking Martial Emperor.

Looking at the young man in front of him who was frowning and contemplative, Liu Yuan suddenly smiled and called softly: "Young Master Xiao!"

Fang Ling retreated from his thoughts and turned his head to look at him.

Liu Yuan looked at the beautiful starry sky outside the window, smiled desolately, and said, "Young Master Xiao, can I ask you something?"

"Say!"

Liu Yuan seemed to be a little hesitant, and after brewing for a long time, he said.

"Remember to go out and bury my skull in the sun, I want to go home too!"
