A claustrophobic space without a glimmer of light.

The faint sound of water is accompanied by a biting coldness.

After experiencing the experience of being subdued by hundreds of frost swords, Lian Mu immediately knocked Liu Feng's soul unconscious and threw him to the eighteenth floor of the "Ice Prison" in the Guang Yuan Courtyard.

At this moment, he didn't know how long he had been unconscious. I don't even know where I am. He could hear his own heartbeat and breathing, and could clearly perceive someone hiding in the darkness, quietly watching him.

After waking up, Liu Feng's soul was almost smoked by the damp and rotten breath around him. Fortunately, the bumpy experience when he was young finally allowed him to adapt to the environment here quickly.

He let out a long sigh.

This sigh seemed to greet the man who was peeking at him in the dark, and it seemed to feel helpless about his somewhat depressed situation at the moment. After a long time, Liu Fengsoul opened his mouth and asked the first sentence: "Where is this?"

"Under the light gate. "In the darkness, the man let out a giggle laugh, as if he was mocking the fall of Liu Feng's soul, and as if he was sighing that he was suffering from the same illness as himself," "Ice Prison" on the eighteenth floor. ”

For the "ice prison" in the Guangqi Courtyard, Liu Fengsoul has long heard of it. He knew that this cage had been designed by the ancestors of the Liu clan and was designed to hold important prisoners, especially the eighteenth floor.

Normally, only one person will be held on the 18th floor of the Ice Prison. Liu Fengsoul knows this. Because of this, Liu Fengsoul did not fully believe all that the person he was talking to at the moment said.

At this moment, Liu Feng's soul was tied up by Lian Mu with a special rope, and a special cage was also prepared to detain him. As a result, Liu Feng's soul was unable to operate the "Void Secret Technique" after waking up, and then broke free from the shackles. Not only that, every time he was lucky, the chill of the entire "ice prison" would wrap Liu Feng's soul along the iron fence of the cage in an instant.

Liu Fengsoul didn't know what Lian Mu wanted to do, but what he had experienced now told him that all the things that happened here today were not a whim of Lian Mu, but had been planned for a long time.

While thinking about it, the rotten voice in the darkness asked Liu Fengsoul hoarsely: "Outside, what time is it now." ”

Liu Fengsoul was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "How long has it been since I was locked in." ”

The man said slowly, "It's been about half a day. ”

Liu Fengsoul turned back and said, "It's October 12 outside. ”

In the darkness, a hoarse voice let out a penetrating smile: "I didn't expect that only ten days have passed since I was imprisoned, but I feel like I've spent several years here." ”

Liu Fengsoul comforted: "Being in such a claustrophobic environment will indeed cause such an illusion. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Fengsoul suddenly realized that the person he was talking to might not have such a keen sense of time because he had been locked up here for too long. In other words, the "half a day" in the mouth may only pass for a while.

After listening to Liu Feng's comfort, the man suddenly smiled bitterly and said no more. Maybe it was out of boredom, or because he wanted to know why the person in the dark was locked in, Liu Fengsoul, who had always been familiar with him, immediately took the initiative to ask, "Dare to ask what this brother is called?"

The man said slowly: "They all call me Xiao Li." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "Why are you locked up here?" ”

Xiao Li: "I said they arrested the wrong person, do you believe it?"

Liu Fengsoul smiled: "Believe it! Why don't you believe it? I was also caught by mistake, so I was locked in!"

Xiao Li sneered, and slowly walked to the iron fence and sat on the ground: "The second son of the Liu family, I haven't seen him for a few days, and he is still funny." ”

After hearing this, Liu Fengsoul dragged the heavy chains, grasped the fence of the cage, and wondered in the direction where the hoarse voice came from: "You know me?"

Xiao Li: "Liu's Qi Knife, looking at the world, how many people don't know, how many people don't know?"

Liu Fengsoul: "Who are you?" ”

Xiao Li: "My friends call me 'Xiao Li', a merchant who sells masks. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "The merchant who sells masks will be locked up here?"

Xiao Li: "The second son of the Liu family is locked up here, why can't a merchant who sells masks be locked up here?"

Liu Fengsoul: "Where the hell is this?"

Xiao Li: "Guang Closed Courtyard, the eighteenth floor of the "Ice Prison". ”

Liu Fengsoul: "There will be two people on the eighteenth floor of the Ice Prison, and when did this rule change?"

Xiao Li: "I don't know about this, I'm just a mask seller." ”

Talking about this, Liu Fengsoul was a little angry: "Okay, since Your Excellency doesn't want to tell the truth, then I won't ask more." ”

Xiao Li smiled: "How does Second Prince Liu know that what I said is not the truth?"

Liu Feng Soul: "Will the Frost Sword really lock up a mask seller in this "ice prison" designed by my ancestor of the Liu family?

Xiao Li sighed and said, "So I said they caught it wrong." ”

Liu Fengsoul was curious: "What crime did the Frost Sword convict you?"

Xiao Li recalled: "I don't know, but it is said that they took me as a spy of the Mexican Kingdom, and the reason was only because I sold a mask to Lord Luyou, the "Great Si Nong" of the dynasty. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "And then you were locked up here?"

Xiao Li sighed: "Yes." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "What kind of mask are you selling?"

Xiao Li: "An ordinary mask. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "What about after I caught you?"

Xiao Li: "They couldn't ask anything, so they were just like Liu Ergongzi, and they were suspicious of what I said, thinking that I was deliberately hiding a lot of things." That's why they locked me up here. ”

Talking about this, Liu Fengsoul, who was originally convinced that Xiao Li was lying, suddenly had doubts about himself, after all, with the current style of Lian Mu, it is not impossible to make such a thing. After thinking about it, Liu Fengsoul asked Xiao Li: "Here, is it really the eighteenth layer of the Ice Prison?"

Xiao Li: "It is said that the seventeenth floor has closed two high-level martial artists of unknown origin, otherwise it is estimated that Liu Er Gongzi and I should be on the seventeenth floor at this moment." But then again, apart from the eighteenth layer of the "Ice Prison", where else in the world can hold Liu Ergongzi?"

Liu Fengsoul sighed: "Brother Tai is really funny. ”

Xiao Li smiled: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

While chatting, Liu Fengsoul asked more: "However, speaking of which, there is something unclear below." I can't see my fingers here, brother, how do you know. I'm the second son of the Liu family?"

"This ......," Xiao Li hesitated, "I heard him mention it to others when the Lian Great Commander of the Frost Sword sent you in. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "Lian Mu, what did he say?"

Xiao Li: "I can't remember this clearly, when the little one just woke up, he heard the name of Liu Ergongzi in a daze, so with the mentality of trying it, I guessed that you were Liu Ergongzi." ”

Liu Fengsoul listened to it and fell into deep thought.

What Xiao Li said, at first glance, does not seem to have any flaws. In fact, if you think about it, it is actually full of loopholes. Would Frost Sword really catch a merchant who sells masks? Why did Lu You buy a mask if he was fine? Why would Frost Sword take this Xiao Li as a spy of the Mo Kingdom?

When it comes to the secret agent of Mexico, Liu Fengsoul suddenly remembered the mysterious person who had reported to him that "there is a change in Qi Temple" around October 6th, and these spearheads and clues actually pointed to Lu You in the early days.

According to Liu Fengsoul's understanding, the three divisions of the Frost Sword at that time unanimously believed that Lu You might have an impossible connection with the fire in Qi Temple. And the secret agents and killers of Mexico are actually the main reason for this fire, so who is covering them and who is facilitating them.

Thinking of this, Frost Sword suspected that Xiao Li might be the secret agent of the Mo Kingdom, which was actually very reasonable. After all, why should a person like Lu You buy a mask if he has nothing to do? Does he need a mask? Doesn't he himself wear a hypocritical "mask"?

At this time, Liu Fengsoul asked tentatively: "By the way, this brother, my voice is a little familiar, have we seen it somewhere?" ”

Xiao Li hid his hesitation with a hoarse laugh: "Perhaps, Second Prince Liu also bought a mask from me?"

"I've never bought a mask, and I'm not going to buy any masks, but on October 6th, I had a brief fight with a man. And the man was wearing a mask. ”

Xiao Li was curious: "What kind of mask?" ”

Liu Fengsoul recalled: "A night crow mask. ”

......

Lu Weiwen did not expect that he would be fortunate enough to be invited by the Liu family, the first family of the Shu Kingdom, to go to Liufu as a guest tomorrow on the afternoon of October 21. This invitation was conveyed by Liu Fengchen to Lu Weiwen through a child who was scavenging.

When Lu Weiwen received this invitation, Liu Fengchen was watching him in the dark. Through careful observation, Liu Fengchen believes that Lu Weiwen will definitely go to the appointment tomorrow. At this moment, Lu Weiwen didn't know what Liu Su would say to him tomorrow, and he wouldn't know that tomorrow, when he met Liu Su, the clan of the Shu Kingdom, the Three Divisions of the Frost Sword, Gu Yina and others would gather in the Guangqi Courtyard.

Right now, the night is dark.

Yun Ji didn't feel any surprise after learning about Lian Mu's crazy move during the day from Bu Weilan. She asked lightly: "What does Lu Weiwen think about this matter?"

Bu Weilan said: "Lu Gongzi means 'wait'. ”

Yun Ji looked at Bu Weilan in confusion: "Wait?"

Bu Weilan analyzed: "It is not only the attitude of waiting for the clan, but also the attitude of waiting for the lord of the country, and even more so the attitude of waiting for the great commander." ”

Yun Ji frowned and asked, "Isn't Lian Mu's attitude obvious enough?"

Bu Weilan explained: "Perhaps, the attitude of the commander of Lian at this moment is not his true attitude. ”

Yun Ji was puzzled: "What does Lian Mu want to do?"

Bu Weilan changed his words: "It depends on the plan of the lord of the country." ”

Yun Ji didn't answer Bu Weilan's words right away.

At this time, the internal pattern of the country can be said to affect the whole body. After a long period of contemplation, Yun Ji turned his head to Pu Jia beside him and said: "It's not early today, tomorrow you go to Guang Yuan, spread Gu's will, and order Lian Mu to release Liu Feng's soul, and then convey his apologies to the clan for Gu, as for how Lian Mu will deal with it, when the time comes, it will first look at the attitude of the clan towards it, and then you will make a decision for Gu." It's all about the big picture. ”

Pu Jia was worried: "The safety of the lord of the country..."

Yun Ji: "It's okay, Mr. Bu is here." ”

Between the words, Pu Jia stared at Bu Weilan for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "No." ”

Bu Weilan listened and smiled slightly.

At this time, Lian Mu, not long after subduing Liu Fengsoul, did not take the initiative to contact the sect and did not inform Yun Ji. Because he knew that Bu Weilan would go to tell Yun Ji these news, and Han Yu would also tell Liu Su, the leader of the clan, about Liu Feng's experience.

So, what did Lian Mu do during this time?

He wrote a letter to Gu Yina, hoping that she would take the time to visit the eighth floor of the Yao Pavilion in the Guang Yuan tomorrow. He wants to fulfill the promise he made with Gu Yina that day, restore and decipher the truth behind the fire in Qi Temple, and form an alliance with Gu Yina to have a showdown and negotiate with the clan of the Shu Kingdom, and then achieve the unity of the sword to the outside world, and the whole country will work together to face the invasion of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom.

And Meng Jian was the one who sent the letter.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Lian Mu couldn't contact Mo Yan, and Meng Jian, as the most trusted person of Lian Mu at the moment, was naturally responsible for such an important matter. In fact, the reason why Lian Mu trusts Meng Jian so much is because Meng Jian is Bai Qiang's junior brother, secondly, because he has no complicated relationship in Shuguo, and thirdly, because Meng Jian's mind is very simple and not so complicated, so it is easier to control.

After Lian Mu sealed the envelope, he personally put it in Meng Jian's arms, and then patted him on the shoulder: "The rise and fall of the long-cherished country are all on your shoulders." ”

Meng Jian said solemnly: "I will live up to the trust." ”

Between the words, Lian Mu saluted Meng Jian with a cup of tea:

"Be careful on the road!"

Meng Jian waved his hands goodbye: "No." ”

......

On the eighteenth floor of the "Ice Prison", there is no light.

After several temptations by Liu Fengsoul, Xiao Li's reaction was too perfect and did not show a trace of panic, but deepened Liu Fengsoul's suspicion of him, and finally he deduced that the person he was talking to in the dark was definitely not as simple as "a mask seller" in his own mouth.

In fact, Xiao Li, who couldn't even make up the words of the Frost Sword, how could he be so easily asked the truth by Liu Fengsoul, who had never received special training, in a few words? In other words, if he could be asked the truth by Liu Fengsoul, it must be some unimportant news.

During the chat, Liu Fengsoul and Xiao Li talked about the fire in Qi Temple. After telling his experience that day, Liu Fengsoul asked Xiao Li: "At that time, after such a big thing happened in the city, where were you." ”

Xiao Li: "East of Mingyue City, outside the Guangqi Courtyard, Baihu Street, Xiaohu is fried." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "I know that Xiaohu is fried! I used to go there often, although his shop is not big, but the business is very good! It's a pity that ......."

Xiao Li: "It's a pity. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "It's a pity that Xiaohu didn't open that day." ”

The air suddenly stagnated at this moment.

Liu Fengsoul: "Do you know how I know?"

Xiao Li didn't speak, he was wondering if Liu Fengsoul was testing him. As a result, I heard Liu Fengsoul say: "Because I happened to be on a whim that day, I passed by there and wanted to buy a few and take them to Qi Temple again, but I didn't open the door." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Li took off his disguise, and revealed his original voice, looking up to the sky and smiling: "Actually, on weekdays, I basically go to Xiaohu to fry when I have nothing to do, but I didn't go that day." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "Actually, I haven't had time to go to Xiaohu to fry on weekdays, but I suddenly wanted to try it that day." ”

Xiao Li: "It's really better to be a human being than a heavenly one." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "So, the reason why you didn't go that day was because you were actually in Qi Temple at the time, right?"

Xiao Li: "Instead of asking this, it's better to ask something else." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "Why are you lying?"

Xiao Li: "Ask me why I want to tell you that the killer of the Mo Kingdom will appear in the Qi Temple, and why do you want to send people to Lu Yuan after you save them." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "The masked man that day was really you!"

Xiao Li: "I didn't expect that the second son of Liu, who has always been reckless, would have such a careful time, it was Xiao Li's carelessness." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "Your real name is Xiao Li?"

Xiao Li: "A name is just a title. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "So the frost sword caught the wrong person?"

Xiao Li: "What they want to arrest is the secret agent of the Mexican country, and I am not." ”

Liu Fengsoul was puzzled: "Then who are you?"

Xiao Li: "I'm Xia Guo's secret agent. ”

Liu Fengsoul frowned: "How did you know that there was a change in Qi Temple, and why did you tell me about this matter?"

Xiao Li: "Do you remember the last Mo State secret agent? It's the one you saw and would have died by then." ”

Liu Fengsoul was puzzled: "You killed the person?"

Xiao Li: "But I completed his task for him." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "What task?"

Xiao Li: "Tell those killers that the goal has changed." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "Who are they targeting?" Yun Fan?"

Xiao Li: "It was Yun Ji before, and then Yun Fan." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "Why do you want to help them deliver the news?" ”

Xiao Li: "Because, I need to borrow them to test whether Yun Fan is still in the country." You can understand it as throwing stones to ask for directions, or you can understand it as pushing the boat along the water. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "Then why did you tempt me to go to Qi Temple?"

Xiao Li: "Naturally, I don't want those killers to really kill Yun Fan, compared to this, you should be curious why I let you go to Lu Yuan after saving people." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "Isn't it because Mr. Lu has excellent medical skills?"

Xiao Li: "Although Lu Weiwen's medical skills are indeed exquisite, this is not the main reason. At that time, you saved Xin Zaima, the general of the Northern Desert Sa Division, so Gu Yina will inevitably chase Lu Yuan in the end. And Lu Weiwen has actually been waiting for an opportunity. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "What chance?"

Xiao Li: "An opportunity to revive the long-cherished country." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "What does this have to do with you?"

Xiao Li: "If Lu Weiwen wants to revive the kingdom of Shu, it must be inseparable from those Chiyan warriors in the city at this moment." And these Chiyan warriors are the main reason for my dormant dream, and they are also the last task. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "Are you using me?"

Xiao Li: "I'm using you. ”

After hearing this, Liu Fengsoul remembered something, so he was silent but listened to Xiao Li sneer, and continued: "Actually, after I created an opportunity for Lu Weiwen to meet Gu Yina, I can basically deduce everything that is happening in the city at this moment, including why you are here now. ”

Liu Fengsoul was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Li: "At this moment, Lian Mu has regarded you as the initiator of the fire in Qi Temple, and it is very likely that the clan is behind it, in order to squeeze out and expel Yun Fan." ”

Liu Fengsoul sneered: "You gave this script to Lian Mu?"

Xiao Li: "So Second Prince Liu understands, why are you here at this moment?"

Liu Fengsoul: "I want to know more than this, whether I will be released again." ”

Xiao Li: "That depends on how valuable you are in the eyes of the clan." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "That's over, I guess I have to stay here with you for the rest of my life." ”

Xiao Li smiled: "I can leave here at any time, but you will leave before me." Although your father Liu Su has an arrogant temperament, he still puts family affection first in his heart. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "You are a mask seller, do you know a lot?"

Xiao Li: "If you can't understand human nature, how can you survive in this turbulent Bright Moon City?"

Speaking of this, Liu Fengsoul suddenly changed his words: "Do you really have a way to get out of here?"

Xiao Li replied to the question: "I don't know if Second Prince Liu remembers some strange smells you smelled when you left Qi Temple that day." ”

Liu Feng's soul: "Xia Guo's "Berserk Battle Pill" is it, right? It seems to be your masterpiece as well. ”

Xiao Li: "Do you know why that thing is a banned drug in Xia Kingdom?"

Liu Feng Soul: "Isn't it because the effect of the medicine has passed, and the eater will become a waste?"

Xiao Li: "No, that's because someone is experimenting with this medicine." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Li: "The human body itself is a sophisticated refining furnace, when you use your sword qi to turn those killers of the Mo Kingdom who ate the 'Berserk Pill' into a blood mist, the Berserk War Pill has been integrated into the blood of those martial artists, and the side effects have been filtered out. Therefore, the strange smell you inhaled when you left actually invisibly increased your strength, this master "Xuanjizi" should know that he is not a cultivator and a scattered immortal, isn't he?"

Liu Fengsoul: "Who the hell are you, why do you know so much?"

Xiao Li: "It really doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that Second Prince Liu is not curious, why do I want you to suck the Berserk War Pill after being refined by the human body?"

Liu Fengsoul: "You mean that the reason why I was able to break through the armor of the Chiyan warrior that day was actually in your design?"

Xiao Li: "If it weren't for inhaling the blood mist dissolved in the Berserk Battle Pill, it would be impossible for Liu Er Gongzi to step into the tenth order in the process of 'fighting two with one', and break through the armor of those Chiyan warriors by the way." ”

Liu Fengsoul: "Are you borrowing my hand to test the Chiyan Warrior?"

Xiao Li: "After all, they are the henchmen of my Xia Kingdom!" "Liu's Qi Knife", the world is all over the world! Only such a sharp knife can break through the hardest armor in the world. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "So, you know everything?"

Xiao Li: "I have already seen all this through the eyes of the night crow. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "Who the hell are you?"

Xiao Li: "My friends call me Xiao Li, a merchant who sells masks. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "Why do you want to tell me this? Since you think I will leave here before you, aren't you afraid that I will tell you all this?"

Xiao Li smiled: "Even if you say it, Lian Mu won't believe it." From what I know about Ransom, he only believes what he sees and what he touches. However, if the second son of Liu wants Lian Mu to believe you. It's not impossible, I can help you with this favor. ”

Liu Fengsoul: "How can you help?"

Between the words, Xiao Li smiled: "Kill you." ”
