Great Chu King City, Tianxiong City.

The city is majestic enough to accommodate nearly three million households. The area is vast, and it takes a full day to walk from the head of the city to the end of the city.

You must know that even the entire territory of Ningzhou, according to last year's statistics, is only five million households, and this city is almost worth half of Ningzhou. As the head of the Nine Kingdoms in the North, Da Chu has its own extraordinary.

The walls are more than ten feet high, and the whole body is made of solid black iron stone, and there are four or five storey buildings everywhere in the city. And in the center of Tianxiong City, there is a huge building that is more than 100 zhang high, located in the palace, I heard that the building is called the Star Picking Tower, which is the place where the Great Chu royal family communicates with the immortals in the east, and more than one person swears that he has said that in a certain night, he has seen the immortals wrapped in colorful glow and fall on the Star Picking Tower.

For example, Xiao Er of the Honghu Inn where Wei Lai and others stayed told Wei Lai and others about it.

"Tomorrow, Gongzi will enter the palace to meet Emperor Chu, have you thought about it?" Sitting in the guest room, Ji Huanxi poured Wei Lai a full cup of tea, and asked seemingly casually.

Wei Lai took the teacup, frowned, and drank a cup of tea in silence, but did not respond to Ji Huanxi's question.

Sun Daren on the side licked his face and stretched out his hand, wanting to take the second cup of tea poured by Ji Huanxi, but who knew that after Ji Huanxi poured the tea, he sat down next to Wei Lai with the teacup in his arms, and drank it alone, ignoring Sun Daren's outstretched hand.

Sun Daren secretly felt a little embarrassed, he withdrew his hand curtly, or to hide his embarrassment, he said: "Ah Lai, what do you have to think about here." ”

"Although Li Chenghuang has a bad temper, his identity and status are there, and he is also good-looking, marry her, from now on, you will be under one person, above ten thousand, it can be said that you will ascend to the sky in one step, and our Ningzhou will no longer be afraid of the ghost of that Laoshizi Yanting, there is a hundred benefits and no harm......!

Wei glanced at Sun Daren and shook his head: "How can it be so simple, even if I promise the eldest princess, we are just pretending to get married, and the actual purpose is to ......"

"I said, Ah, you are very clever in your daily life, but why are you confused about this? Just ask Miss Ji ......" Sun Daren pointed at Ji Huanxi and said: "This girl's family cares more about reputation than we do, if you don't mean it to you in your heart, where would you propose such a method, you don't understand this?"

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Ji Huanxi.

Ji Huanxi took a sip of tea and responded: "The prince is indeed a little dull about this matter, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is probably really interesting to the prince." ”

Ji Huanxi said this, and the corner of his eyes glanced at Wei Lai, but his heartstrings were tense at that time.

These days of getting along, she has more or less seen some of Wei Lai's personality.

He is ruthless in some things, but he is upright in others.

For example, in the matter of the eldest princess, Wei Lai hesitated, and she said this in order to make Wei Lai consider Li Chenghuang's future and not dare to agree. After all, if they become relatives, this family affair is not a child's play, no matter how the matter of Da Ri Jing Shiyan ends, the family affair between him and Li Chenghuang may not end without a problem.

After all, whether it is ruthlessly disappointing the other party, or living with the other party hypocritically, it is not like something that Wei Lai can do.

And as she thought, Wei Lai's brows furrowed a little deeper when she heard this. They also came to Tianxiong City, the royal city of Great Chu, for three days, Li Chenghuang returned to the palace, and they did not meet for three days, but they sent people from the palace at noon today, saying that Emperor Chu would meet Wei Lai in the palace tomorrow, and at the same time asked Wei Lai to give his answer about that matter.

"I've promised her. But just when Ji Huanxi thought that Wei Lai would hesitate or even give up this opportunity, Wei Lai's voice suddenly sounded.

When these words came out, Ji Huanxi and Sun Daren's faces changed, and their eyes were full of astonishment when they looked at Wei Lai.

Wei Lai shrugged his shoulders, not surprised by the two of them's performance.

He said, "When the envoy came today, I asked him to reply to the eldest princess. ”

"Ah Lai, have you enlightened?" Sun Daren reacted and immediately said happily.

Ji Huanxi was in a complicated mood, she glanced at Wei Lai deeply, and asked in a low voice, "Childe...... Have you really figured it out?"

Wei Lai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How can there be so many things in this world that can wait until we think clearly before making a decision. ”

"I'm going to find those who have been forgotten, that's what matters to me!"

Wei Lai said this, raised his head and drank the tea in the cup, his eyes were resolute, and there was no room for any doubt.

"Whoever owes it, whether it owes anyone or not is an afterword, not to mention that just like Daren said, the eldest princess is impeccable in both appearance and identity, and I can't try to like her. Right?"

Wei Lai's question made both of them a little silent, and it was obvious that the young man's heart was far from being as relaxed as he said.

......

When the topic reached this point, it was a little heavy, and everyone didn't know what to say, so after a few hurried conversations, they all went back to their rooms.

After everyone left, Wei Lai sat alone in the room for a while, his eyes looked into the distance vacantly, but the hand on the table suddenly clenched: "Lu Guanshan." Don't worry, I will definitely help you get Lu Yan'er back!"

He said this, stood up, and was about to go to the bed to rest, but before he could take a step, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and one hand suddenly moved towards the body behind him, and his index and middle fingers stretched out, and he clamped towards the void, and a snow-white long sword appeared between his fingers, and was caught by him.

"For the seventh time. Wei Lai looked at the red-haired girl with the snow-white long sword, and said in a calm voice.

The girl did not give up and tried to break free from Wei Lai's shackles, but Wei Lai's strength was far beyond her expectations, and it was difficult to pull the long sword out of Wei Lai's hand even if she urged her to use all her strength.

She gritted her teeth and tried several times in succession, but in the end it all ended in failure, and she let go of her hand with some deflatedness, which was considered to admit defeat.

"According to the rules, it's time for me to answer again. Wei Lai flicked his fingers, and the long sword in his hand flew out, plunging into the wooden wall beside him.

Wei Lai has seen the scene many times, and he does not feel any surprise, but has a bit of a familiar taste.

In fact, this kind of thing has happened a lot in the past few days, this girl named Flowing Fire usually follows everyone silently, and once Wei Lai is alone, she will find an opportunity to assassinate Wei Lai.

Of course, Wei Lai knew that this girl's purpose was unusual, but he couldn't understand why she wanted to kill him?

After the initial assassination was fruitless and captured by Wei Lai, Wei Lai asked about the other party's intentions, but the other party was always silent and did not respond to Wei Lai's inquiries.

On weekdays, such a killer, Wei Lai would have eliminated it a long time ago, where would he give her the opportunity to shoot again and again. It was only because the flowing fire triggered the Sunrise and Dusk Divine Sword that Wei Lai thought that there was some connection between the two, so he left her alive, and agreed with her that he could leave her alive, but after each assassination failure, Wei Lai could ask her questions and let her answer yes or no.

The girl stood in place, staring at Wei Lai with cold eyes, waiting for Wei Lai's question.

Wei Lai thought for a moment and asked, "You want to kill me because you have something to do with the Great Sun Pure World Flame?"

The girl glanced at Wei Lai, shook her head, then turned around and took her sword, and left the room without looking back, as if staying with Wei Lai for more than half an hour was also a kind of torture for her.

Wei Lai smiled bitterly and looked at the direction in which the girl left, stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head with some annoyance.

Liuhuo assassinated him seven times, from Ao Xiu, Yan Ting, Jin Yun'er to Tianque Realm, and Great Chu, Wei Lai guessed all the forces that might kill him, but he couldn't get a positive answer. Wei Lai felt that with the temperament of flowing fire, since he had agreed to the rules with Wei Lai, he would never have the possibility of lying, so where did this flowing fire come from?

Wei Lai couldn't figure it out, but there were too many things that he couldn't figure out recently, and there were important things to do tomorrow, so Wei Lai shook his head, and he didn't waste his mind anymore.

He simply lay down on the bed, resting his head on his arm, thinking about everything lately, and fell into a groggy sleep.

......

In dreams.

Wei Fuzhong.

The red candle flickered, and a young girl in the tent slowly shed her clothes, revealing snow-white skin.

"Ahh ”

In the darkness, Wei couldn't see her appearance clearly, but only heard her voice tactful and light, like a silver bell, like a warbler's cry.

Wei Lai knew very well that he was in a dream, but he hadn't dreamed of this girl for a long time, as if the connection between the two was weakening over time, and he knew that he would disappear in the end.

But he didn't understand why, after so long, the girl had come to his dream again.

The girl pounced and pressed her body against Wei Lai's body.

The fiery touch made Wei Lai almost unable to tell whether this was reality or a dream.

"Who are you?" he asked, trying to take advantage of the existence of this dream to learn as much as he could about something he hadn't known before, which he believed might be an omen.

The girl didn't seem to hear Wei Lai's inquiry, she just hugged Wei Lai tightly, as if she wanted to rub her body into Wei Lai's body.

"Will you forget me?"

"I don't want you to forget me. ”

"Promise me if ......"

"I mean, if we can see each other again, you'll have to recognize me, okay?"

"Even if I don't remember anything at that time, cold as a stone, you still have to recognize me......"

"Tell me everything......

"Is it good to ......?"

"Husband......
