October 21, evening.

Mingyue City, in front of Lufu.

A group of frost swords dressed in "Ling Frost Armor", under the leadership of the three divisions of the frost sword, surrounded Lufu. Many pedestrians had to wait from a distance and did not dare to get close to half a step.

Right now, Lian Mu didn't know what to say to Mo Yan, and in the end, Mo Yan decided to take Meng Jian to take the lead from the backyard to the inner mansion, and try his best to be bloodless and take down Lu You. That's right, that is to say, Lian Mu plans to let the two of them go to cut off Lu You's escape.

Before leaving, Mo Yan took a deep look at Pu Jia, who had not been seen for a long time. Although Lian Mu had been looking for an opportunity to scold Mo Yan before, fortunately, this important action Mo Yan was very appreciative and was not absent, so Lian Mu didn't bother with him for the time being and asked Meng Jian to hold a meeting for him.

During this time, Mo Yan has been staring at Lufu and all the information related to Lufu. Although Han Cicada did not tell Mo Yan who was behind all the incidents, Mo Yan deduced that all this must be inextricably linked to Lu You in the end.

Meng Jian didn't want to deal with Mo Yan these days.

Because not long after Mo Yan killed Zhou Kang, Meng Jian learned from Lian Mu that Zhou Kang was an "inner ghost". And this matter has been known since the beginning. Therefore, Meng Jian was not very able to understand Mo Yan's intentions, and felt disgusted because of it.

"What kind of eyes are you?" Under Mo Yan's guidance, Meng Jian climbed over a high wall in the backyard of Lufu. His voice was so strong and thick that Meng Jian couldn't pretend that he hadn't heard it.

Meng Jian asked: "I didn't sleep well last night, and I haven't woken up now." ”

Mo Yan smiled: "If you have something to say, don't hide it." ”

Meng Jian said: "Zhou Kang is your apprentice, right?" ”

Mo Yan: "It used to be. ”

Meng Jian: "Since you know that Zhou Kang has a problem, why do you still let him teach me this?"

Mo Yan: "First, I used you to make him let his guard down. ”

Meng Jian: "Heh, I'm your prop to paralyze him?"

Mo Yan: "Second, I really hope you can learn something from him, after all, what he taught you, let me teach you again, I don't have the patience or time." Of course, the most important thing is the third thing. ”

Meng Jian: "What's the matter?"

Mo Yan: "I want you to understand that betrayal and trust are only a thought. And you can't tell these things by your eyes and your experience alone. ”

Meng Jian: "You taught him all this skill." ”

Mo Yan: "I once taught him with my own hands, just as he taught you by hand. And you saw it. So, after going through this, I can't calm down and teach the next person. ”

Meng Jian: "You are afraid of being betrayed again. ”

Mo Yan did not answer Meng Jian's question, and took out a short cylinder from his bosom and threw it to Meng Jian. Meng Jian caught the short tube, and while studying what it was, he was puzzled: "What is this?

"This thing is called the Thousand Army Order, a salute for transmitting signals. Gently turn the ring on the barrel and you're good to go. Mo Yan said lightly, "Put it away first, and if we get separated, you can use this to contact me." I'll be there as soon as possible. ”

Just when Meng Jian felt a little puzzled, Mo Yan continued the topic just now: "Actually, the reason why I did this before was to let you understand one thing through Zhou Kang's death. ”

Meng Jian was puzzled: "You say." ”

Mo Yan patted the dust on his body, but he didn't know that the frost and snow had stained his eyebrows here, making him look a little old: "In this world, except for yourself, no one can always carry the trust of another person. Betrayal is always only a matter of position and time. Don't trust what you see and what you feel, as these may be traps and disguises for your trust. Be wary of all those who show you favor. Perhaps, it will make you feel lonely, but at least it won't make you end up not even knowing how you died. ”

Meng Jian didn't answer Mo Yan's words again, but Meng Jian listened very carefully to what he said. And there is no longer any prejudice or emotion like before.

"This is my first lesson to you. Mo Yan said lightly, "The name of this lesson is 'betrayal'. ”

Between the words, Meng Jian suddenly remembered the haggard appearance of the man in front of him in the early morning of October 16. At that time, Mo Yan was like two people compared to now. After a short conversation, Meng Jian had a new understanding of Mo Yan. He doesn't know how many stories this man has hidden in his heart, but he believes that as he gets more contact with him in the future, he will know this man better.

After thinking about it, several guards of Lufu seemed to notice that something was wrong here, so they came over to check, and found that Meng Jian and Mo Yan had broken in without permission, so they picked up the guy and surrounded Meng Jian and Mo Yan, and asked loudly: "Who is it?!"

Mo Yan sneered: "Your Yellow Spring guide." ”

When the snow falls, the world is white.

Lian Mu walked in front of people with a spear, not knowing what he was waiting for. Lin Ran, the seat of the Department of Justice, Pu Jia of the Department of Guards, and Gu Yina stood side by side with him. Behind him, countless frost swords surrounded the mansion like a tide.

In this operation, almost all the three divisions of the Frost Sword were dispatched.

Later scholars believe that the arrest of Lu You is a symbol of the official establishment of the "Bright Moon Alliance" and the first cooperation of the "Bright Moon Alliance".

The sky was gloomy, and the snow was falling suddenly.

In the backyard of Lufu, the old man looked at the snow outside the house and suddenly sighed about his life. At this moment, Lu Ming, who was beside him, asked him curiously: "Father has done so much for the country, why does the country do this to you?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, but finally did not tell the child some of the truth. The reason why he does this may be to maintain his once glorious image in front of his children, or maybe there are some things that the less the child knows, the safer it will be for the child.

Looking at Lu Ming's eyes full of anticipation, Lu You sighed and said: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, now I can leave the palace with this life, it is already the grace of the lord of the country." ”

Lu Ming: "The country owes us too much. ”

Lu Yo smiled: "Actually, it's good like now, the savings in the early years are enough for you and my father and son to enjoy a lifetime in the country, and when everything is settled, you should also start a family." ”

Lu Ming: "It's all up to my father." ”

Looking at the snow outside the door, Lu You's gaze gradually deepened: "A few days ago, Lian Mu just took Liu Feng's soul into custody, and it is expected that the frost sword represented by the Yun clan will break out with the most profound conflict with the clan, and perhaps the history of the entire Shu Kingdom will be changed because of this." I heard that the three divisions of the Frost Sword, Gu Yina, and the clan are all gathered in the Guang Closed Courtyard, so I think there will be new stories to listen to soon. And now we just have to wait here in peace. ”

Between the words, Lu Yo was still thinking about who Yun Ji might have summoned in the palace that day before receiving him. Looking back on what happened during this time, in general, Lu You is still very glad that he saved his life in the end.

Based on his assessment of the current situation and Yun Ji's understanding, it was expected that as long as he resigned, according to the information he provided now, Yun Ji would still save his life and use him to check and balance the clan.

Even so, it is tantamount to openly making enemies of the clan. But today's Luyou has no other choice. In fact, the crime that Luyou confessed in the palace that night can be described as half-truth.

Because of this, Yun Ji will not kill him for a while and a half. However, because Yun Ji still has more important things to deal with now, Lu You knows that Yun Ji will not care about him for the time being, so he deprives him of his official position and sets him grounded.

What can keep Luyou alive is his value.

During the years of the official residence "Dasi Nong", Lu You's wealth accumulated openly and secretly was enough for him to spend several lifetimes in luxury. Although he has to be a man with his tail between his legs in the country of Shu, Lu You believes that as long as he lives, he will definitely find a chance to leave the country.

Although the Thousand Feather Clan's actions this time disappointed him, it didn't matter, once Yun Ji or the clan wanted to attack him, with the secrets about the Thousand Feather Clan that Lu You knew so far, he could finally save his life.

At this time, the housekeeper of the Lufu stumbled into the backyard, and shouted as he ran: "Oh no! Master! There are a lot of frost swords outside the mansion! They say they want to arrest you! They have already broken in! We are about to get here!"

Lu You, who was originally lying on the chair, almost fell off the chair after hearing this, and Lu Ming, who was guarding Lu You's side, immediately reprimanded the housekeeper: "What is the panic?

Lu You, who heard the news, thought that he had heard it wrong at first, so he reprimanded: "Presumptuous! What nonsense are you talking about? I was an old man of two dynasties, and now I have returned to my hometown, why did the frost sword arrest me?!"

The housekeeper hesitated and panicked: "The little one doesn't know, but now there is a fight outside, and there is blood everywhere!

"Who is the leader?" Lu You, who woke up, immediately got up and pretended to be calm and asked the housekeeper, although his face was calm, but it was difficult to hide his panic and worry in his words and eyes.

The butler recalled, "A man with a spear, those frost swords seem to call him the Great Commander!"

"Lian Mu?!" After a very short period of judgment, the old man's originally leisurely expression was once again occupied by fear and cowardice: "How could it be that he came? Who else is there besides him?!"

The noise outside the courtyard was getting closer and closer, and the butler trembled, "There are two more men, and three women!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Lu You listened, thinking about the worst possible in his heart, but he didn't feel like it, as the noise became louder and louder, Lu You knew that there was not much time left for him, so he trembled and ordered the butler: "Hurry! Hold them back!

"This group of frost swords is really too presumptuous!" Lu Ming, who was serving on the side, listened, pulled out the dark gold sword in his hand, looked at the posture, and wanted to fight to the death with the frost sword. Seeing this, Lu You hurriedly stopped him: "Come back, what are you going to do? Why don't you come back to the back room with me?"

Lu Ming said angrily: "These frost swords have already caused my father to lose all his officials, and they still refuse to give up, it is really too deceitful! Father rest assured, as long as I am alive for one day, they will not want to touch my father's hair!"

After hearing this, Lu You directly slapped Lu Ming: "What nonsense, come back to the back room with me to pack up your things, and get out of here quickly!"

Lu You's slap directly stunned Lu Ming.

Before Lu Ming could react, Lu You had already dragged him back to the back room in the backyard. At this time, the servants of Lufu were desperately resisting the gate of the backyard to buy time for Luyou's evacuation. After returning to the back room, Lu You took out a letter and a golden dagger, and then stuffed it to Lu Ming, who had not yet come back to his senses: "Later, I will take you to the forbidden place in the backyard, where there is a secret passage, and there are many doors in the secret passage, but only one door leads to the outside of the city." ”

After stuffing the letter and dagger into Lu Ming, Lu You dragged him to the forbidden place in the backyard and told him about the secret door leading to the outside of the city. When leaving the house, Lu You glanced at the gate of the backyard and was basically unable to stand it, so he quickly quickened his pace: "That door is a diversion I made on the basis of the original dark passage, so if you find that door and go in, there will still be two choices inside, choose the left one directly, and there will still be a deer sign at the end, which proves that you have not chosen wrong." ”

Lu You bit every word very clearly and hard, as if he was explaining his last words, and Lu Ming listened carefully and did not dare to slack off. But he heard Lu You continue: "After leaving the city, go north, find the Blood Tiger Rider General Ao Ye stationed near the Juelong Mountain Range and Gulong Pass, and then give him this dagger and letter, he will naturally know what to do when the time comes!"

As he spoke, Lu You turned a half-decayed wooden stake among the flowers in the forbidden area, and opened the stone gate of the forbidden area, which was the one that Thousand Feather Fenghua passed through when she came. At this time, there was a wailing and fighting sound in the backyard, which urged Lu You to speed up, and pushed Lu Ming directly into the stone gate, and then didn't forget to throw Lu Ming a package: "The package contains 10,000 taels of silver tickets and enough compressed food pills for you to last for three months!"

"Won't Father come with me?

"There are more important things to do for the father, son! You can only walk alone on the next road, you have to take good care of yourself! You must live well!" Speaking of this, Lu You was already in tears.

In the cold wind and snow, the noise and fighting outside the forbidden land are getting closer and closer, and the stone gate is slowly closing here. However, just as the stone gate was about to close, Mo Yan and Meng Jian suddenly appeared in front of Lu You. Seeing that the stone gate was about to close, Mo Yan directly kicked a boulder into the stone door, and said sharply to Meng Jian beside him: "Why are you still stunned?"

Lu You saw that the situation was not good, so he drew his sword and slashed at Mo Yan and Meng Jian. Meng Jian, who was originally a little hesitant, immediately had to jump into the stone gate under the urging of Mo Yan and the persecution of Lu You.

saw Mo Yan frown, and shot down the sword in Lu You's hand with a snap of his fingers, and then easily subdued Lu You: "Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment?"

At this time, the stone gate smashed the boulder and slammed shut in front of Lu You and Mo Yan. Seeing this, Mo Yan's originally indifferent expression revealed a rare indignation. He picked up Lu You's shirt with one hand, and there was a little anger in his tone: "Where does this secret passage lead?"

Lu You sneered: "To all parts of the city." ”

Between the words, Mo Yan directly broke one of the old man's fingers, and the severe pain forced Lu You to let out a miserable scream, and the entire backyard of Lu Mansion echoed with his painful roar.

"Ah————h

Mo Yan, who has always been indifferent to everything, saw Meng Jian being locked in the stone gate, his eyes were intertwined with anger and worry: "Let me ask you again, where does this secret passage lead?"

Lu You sneered and spat Mo Yan's face, and just as Mo Yan was about to break one of his fingers again, Lian Mu, Pu Jia, Lin Ran, and Gu Yina slowly appeared in front of Lu You. Followed by Lian Mu and the others, there were also Xia Hui, Han Ji, and some of the frost swords from the clan.

Seeing that Lian Mu and the others had arrived, Mo Yan immediately threw Lu You heavily in front of Lian Mu. Then go straight to the stone door and look for a mechanism to open it.

The embarrassed Lu You looked up at Lian Mu, who was squatting down at this time and smiling at him, and looked around at everyone. Everyone's eyes showed different expressions after touching him. Some are angry, some sympathize, some are disgusted, some are ridiculed, some are disdainful.

This is the first time that the three divisions of the Frost Sword have gathered since their integration. Coupled with the embellishment of Gu Yina of the Northern Desert Division, this lineup is gorgeous and the formation is huge, for Lu You, who is the former master of the country, this pomp and circumstance definitely gives him enough face.

Lian Mu helped Lu You up with a wicked smile, patted the dust on his body for him, and said politely: "Long time no see, Lord Lu is okay?"

"Hahahahaha!" Looking at the people standing in front of him, the old Lu You suddenly understood what had bothered him before, and called out the name of that person hatefully: "Liu Su! Liu Su! I didn't expect that everything was fake! It turned out to be just a play specially played for me! I should have thought of it a long time ago!

Between the words, Han Yu and Xia Hui stood behind Lu You, completely sealing the route where he might escape. The old man trembled and pointed at the people in front of him: "Lin Ran of the Law Division, Pu Jia of the Guardian Division, Lian Mu of the Hanjia Division and the Great Commander, Gu Yina of the Sa Department, as well as Han Wei of the Yaoguang Han Clan and Xia Hui of the Liuyun Xia Clan, I didn't expect that Lu would be able to witness the appearance of the three divisions of the Frost Sword at the same time in his lifetime, and he was also with the barbarians, in order to arrest me, a lonely old man." ”

Lian Mu smiled: "Surprised, surprised?"

Lu You sneered: "I didn't expect that I, an old guy from a humble background and who had been insignificant for many years, would be able to make the clan and royal family of the country and the foreign ministers hate the same enemy, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." My life is worth it, and it's worth it!"

Between the words, he was looking for the ink of the secret door mechanism in the distance, and he thought that Lu You was too verbose, so he picked up a stone and hit Lu You's knee joint, so Lu You knelt directly in front of Lian Mu, and Lian Mu quickly pretended to be polite and helped Lu You up: "Lord Lu, this is what you are doing, don't do this great gift!

Lu You turned his head and glanced at Mo Yan coldly.

"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated!"

After hearing this, Han Yu looked at Xia Hui and smiled: "He still dares to call himself a 'scholar'? He is a 'scholar', so what are we?!"

As a result, without waiting for Lu You to make the next move, Xia Hui, who was watching from the sidelines, directly knocked Lu You unconscious, and then said lightly to the frost swords behind him: "At a young age, there are really a lot of scenes." ”

Lian Mu shook his head helplessly: "Take it down." ”

Then, Lin Ran said to Lian Mu in a daze: "There's nothing else, if not, I'll leave first!"

"Wait, it's not over yet" Lian Mu thought about it, and then asked Mo Yan: "Where is Meng Jian?"

Pu Jia and Gu Yina on the side didn't speak, but silently watched Lu You being taken away. The boulder that was originally hanging in Pu Jia's heart also fell at this moment, and Gu Yina thought about the next question about the defense of Bright Moon City.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

A moment of silence, accompanied by a moment of depression.

Lian Mu asked, but Mo Yan didn't answer immediately.

It wasn't until Mo Yan's gaze touched Pu Jia that this man, who had always seemed to care about nothing, punched the stone door in front of him, and then turned to Lian Mu very guiltily and said, "Just entered this stone door." ”

Under the light courtyard, in the depths of the "Ice Prison".

As the frost condensed on the silver-gold gate faded. Liu Fengchen took the token given to him by Lian Mu under the opening of a frost sword guard, passed through one silver door after another, and came to the eighteenth floor of this cage built by his ancestors.

When the firelight dispelled the deepest darkness here, Xiao Li curled up in the corner of the cage, looking panicked, like a madman. However, in the special cage, Liu Feng's soul was tied up like an animal, and fell into a deep coma, and some wounds of different depths could be vaguely seen on his body.

After seeing this scene, Liu Fengchen, who was the eldest brother, angrily questioned the frost swords around him: "Who did this?"

The frost swords looked at each other, but they heard Xiao Li pretend to be crazy and shout at this time: "It's them! It's them! I saw it with my own eyes! It's them!"

Liu Fengchen: "Lian Mu?"

The frost swords are scattered, and I don't know whether to answer or not.

A frost sword decisively waved his hand to make amends: "Return to the eldest prince of Liu." When Liu Ergongzi was sent in, it wasn't like this. ”

Liu Fengchen asked rhetorically: "Do you mean that it was the madman in the cage in front of you who beat my second brother like this?"

The frost sword hesitated: "This ......"

A frost sword glared at Xiao Li, and Xiao Li immediately retreated to the corner of the cage with a smirk, his expression flickering with joy and sadness, and he couldn't help but be crazy. At this moment, a fresh breeze suddenly rose, and the swaying fire was extinguished. The cage that originally held Liu Feng's soul was torn apart when the breeze rose. The special shackles that bound Liu Feng's soul also disintegrated into countless segments here.

The frost sword standing beside Liu Fengchen, the armor on his body was also marked by this strange wind during this period. In the chaos, Xiao Li smiled maniacally: "Liu's Wind Knife! The world is invincible! Liu's Wind Knife! The world is invincible!"

Liu Fengchen glanced at the crazy Xiao Li coldly, then picked up the unconscious Liu Fengchen on his back, and said indifferently with the frost swords: "Help me tell Lian Mu, when my second brother wakes up, Liu Fengchen will definitely come to visit again." ”

As he spoke, the man left the eighteenth layer of this lonely ice prison without looking back, leaving the frost swords looking at each other. When the fire gradually faded away, the silver and gold gate closed again, and in the darkness, Xiao Li, who was originally crazy, suddenly returned to normal, and grinned the corners of his mouth, silent.

Outside the window, goose feathers and heavy snow.

Sniffing carefully, the coldness in the air made Qianyu Fenghua feel a little choked. She hadn't seen Meng Jian for days. The reason why she thought of Meng Jian was not because of the short time she got along, which made her suddenly fall in love with Meng Jian, but simply wondered if this man had "taken the bait".

It's about her plans for the future.

That's why she's still in the city.

While thinking about it, Duan Nian looked hurried and came uninvited.

Seeing this, Qianyu Fenghua turned his head sideways and asked, "What happened to make you look so hurried?"

Duan Nian reported with a hand: "Just now, the three divisions of the Frost Sword gathered in Lufu and escorted Lu You back to Guang Yuan, and the whole of Lufu was taken away by Frost Sword, but only Lu You's only son Lu Ming was missing. ”

Duan Nian's words made Qianyu Fenghua hesitate: "You say, this Lu Ming, where will he go?"

"I don't know, but I guess I'll try my best to get out of this city. Duan Nian thought carefully, "Now that Lu You has been arrested, this city is no longer a place to stay for a long time, for the sake of the master's safety, this operation is not as good as ......."

"The most dangerous places are often the safest places. Qianyu Fenghua interrupted Duan Nian's worry, "The death of the chilling cicada has already created the illusion of leaving for us. Soon, the army of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom is about to appear in Jibei, and there is no safer place in the entire Jibei at the moment than this city. ”

Duan Nian said worriedly: "Master, ......"

Between the words, Qianyu Fenghua's gaze turned to the vast snow outside the window: "Duan Nian, how long did you say this snow would fall." ”

Duan Nian turned his gaze out the window: "About half a moon?"

Qianyu Fenghua's gaze gradually deepened: "This snow, unlike the previous ones, I'm afraid it won't stop so easily." ”

Duan Nian: "Then aren't we trapped here?"

"When the snow stops, we'll get out of here. Qianyu Fenghua replied, "But before we can do that, we have to finish some things first." ”

......

The Juelong Mountains, north of Dongji.

The hard walls of the mountains are covered with frost in extremely cold conditions, and heavy snow covers the mountain range. In the wind and snow, the lost mountain wolf couldn't help but be a little distracted when he looked at one of the mountain walls of the Juelong Mountain Range, and in the end, he stood in place like an ice sculpture.

A moment later, tiny cracks crept all over the mountain wall from the inside out. The earth trembled as the cracks spread across the walls. Then, with a deafening bear roar, the mountain wolf, which was originally a little distracted, let out a whimper and fled in panic.

Then, a huge cavern appeared on the mountain wall. One by one, the warriors who held hot long knives and rode armor-piercing war bears let out a war cry that made the heavens and the earth tremble.

The sky was full of frost and snow, and it seemed to celebrate their arrival at this moment. This terrifying roar could be heard for hundreds of miles. Many hibernating birds and beasts were alarmed at this moment, causing countless snowfalls in the forest.

As the roar gradually subsided, the man with a tomahawk in his hand reappeared on the land of Dongji after many years. Since ancient times, the Juelong Mountain Stone, which could not be broken by a sword, turned into sour molten iron under the special "lava chopping knife" made by the Xiji Tianwu Kingdom for the Thousand Thunder Kingdom, and finally stagnated in the frost and snow.

More and more war bears, led by that man, poured out of the cave like a tide. Everyone's eyes are full of greed and murderous intent, and for them, everything that is presented in their eyes at this moment is prey.

At this moment, the man did not know how many years he had been waiting. He looked up and let the frost and snow fall on his face, melted by his body heat. While pondering, the woman dressed in black stood side by side with him, and his eldest son, Lei Yi, always followed.

Everyone was waiting for his order. In the silence, the cold wind slaughtered, but he saw Lei Che turn the battle axe in his hand at this time, and then said to himself: "Dongji, the widow is finally back again." ”
