When Meng Jian returned to the Guangqi Courtyard, it was already night.

When he stepped into the Yao Pavilion, Lian Mu and Mo Yan were talking to Xiao Li on the eighteenth floor of the "Ice Prison", so there was no one in the military aircraft on the eighth floor of the Yao Pavilion.

Because of his "relationship" with Lian Mu, plus the convenience of his position. As a distant relative of Lian Mu, Meng Jian can basically go in and out of any place freely in the Guang Closed Courtyard, of course, this definitely does not include the "Ice Prison".

In Frost Sword, only those at the rank of Deputy Commander and above are eligible to enter and exit the Ice Prison freely, but in order to bring a prisoner to the "Ice Prison", the permission of the Frost Sword Three Divisions must be obtained.

At this moment, Meng Jian thought that Lian Mu was at the military plane on the eighth floor of Yao Pavilion, so he ignored the two frost swords guarding outside the long steps to stop him, and directly broke into it to find Lian Mu, and planned to tell Lian Mu about what happened to him in the Heartfelt Restaurant this evening.

Because of Meng Jian's "identity", the two frost swords guarding the door let him go very clearly, and then did not ask Meng Jian why he came here, nor did he tell Meng Jian that Lian Mu was no longer in the military aircraft, of course, this was also related to Lian Mu's advice when he left, that is, not to tell anyone about the military aircraft where he and Mo Yan left.

When Meng Jian opened the door, he found that Lian Mu was not there.

In the dark night, the candle shadow swayed when the wind rose, and the spirits in the cup were warm at this time, exuding a pungent aroma of wine, which made Meng Jian instantly refresh. On the table were a messy display of paper scrolls that I didn't know what had been written.

Since there was no one around, and driven by curiosity, Meng Jian came to the table and secretly began to flip through the messy paper scrolls, and pricked up his ears from time to time to listen to whether anyone was approaching here during this period.

The dense text records the fire in Qi Temple and all related events in great detail. Eventually, all the clues pointed to one person on October 6th. On that day, Meng Jian had just entered Mingyue City, and it was also on that day that Meng Jian saw Liu Feng's soul for the first time.

The case file records that Pu Jia wanted to find out if there was a related correspondence between the clan and Gu Yina and the others at the scene, and then deduced who was behind all this.

In the end, Pu Jia found nothing.

That fire, burned so many things.

also made the fact that Yun Fan was not in the dream country indirectly spread throughout Bright Moon City and Mirror Moon City. The most interesting thing is that everyone knows about it, but everyone doesn't say it. The forces of all sides are unflinching and begin to plan for what will happen next.

As a guest who has just arrived in the kingdom of Shu, and a new recruit who has just joined the Frost Sword. Only through the information on these cases, it is impossible for Meng Jian to fully understand how endwed and realistic the political game within the state is, but from the words of this case file, Meng Jian clearly feels suspicion and distrust.

At that time, Meng Jian's views on many things were actually very simple, and he always believed that there were more good people than bad people in this world. Therefore, it is not understandable that since I have developed suspicion and distrust of this person, I still have to work and cooperate with him.

Meng Jian believes that if there is a misunderstanding between each other, it may be better to speak honestly, after all, everyone's starting point is actually good, but there may be some differences in the way of communication.

Just as Meng Jian was looking at the dense records on the case file and fell into deep thought, the door of the military aircraft department was slowly pushed open, and Mo Yan and Lian Mu appeared in front of Meng Jian very unexpectedly at this time. What Meng Jian didn't expect was that Lian Mu and Mo Yan walked almost without any sound, which actually illustrated a problem. The two people standing in front of Meng Jian at this moment were most likely martial artists who had entered the tenth order.

Seeing that Lian Mu and Mo Yan had returned suddenly, Meng Jian hurriedly pretended to help Lian Mu pack up his things, closed the case file and hurriedly sorted out the table. Seeing this, Lian Mu frowned. At this time, Meng Jian's ears were filled with the sound of a deep groan from the "Heart Eclipse" resting on the weapon rack not far away.

Meng Jian remembered that Han Jian had told him yesterday that only when Lian Mu had a killing intent would "Eroding Heart" make such a sound. Before Meng Jian could speak first, Lian Mu took the lead in asking, "What were you doing just now?"

Meng Jian: "I...... Help you organize your things. ”

Mo Yan on the side glanced at the case file on the table, and then whispered to Lian Mu that he didn't know what to say, then turned around and left the military aircraft and gently closed the door. At this moment, there are only two people in the military aircraft department, Meng Jian and Lian Mu.

Lian Mu: "The rules of the Frost Sword, I've been too busy these days to explain to you clearly, but I believe that about the rules of the Military Aircraft Department, you should have listened to the woman who brought you in the door on the day you came." ”

Meng Jian bowed his head and said nothing, like a child who had made a mistake, standing still and not knowing what to do or what to say. Lian Mu continued: "According to the rules, what you are doing just now is enough to punish the crime of 'espionage' and go to the 'ice prison'! Do you know what an 'ice prison' is?"

Meng Jian was silent, Lian Mu slowly came to Meng Jian's side with his hand, and told him the rumors about the "Ice Prison" lightly: "The "Ice Prison" has eighteen layers, the first layer holds eighteen prisoners, the second layer holds seventeen, and so on, and the last layer is only one person. There are four warriors guarding the gate on each floor. The gate was made of silver and gold, and even the legendary Black Sky Sect was locked up there and couldn't get out. The depth of the ice prison is unimaginable. There was no light inside, so the Akayan samurai could only sit and wait to die if they were trapped inside. Of course, these are not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that there is only one exit from the entire "ice prison", and once the door is closed, there is only solitude except darkness. Do you want to experience it?"

Meng Jian: "Brother Lian, I was wrong!"

Lian Mu: "I just told you yesterday that you want to call me 'Great Commander' here, why did you forget it now?"

Meng Jian: "Grand Commander, give me another chance!"

Lian Mu: "I give you a chance, who gives me a chance?"

The beads of sweat soaked through Meng Jian's clothes here, and the "Eroding Heart", which was originally rattling on the weapon rack, stopped chanting when Lian Mu gently patted his hand on Meng Jian's shoulder.

Lian Mu's move seemed to signal Meng Jian to relax.

Meng Jian didn't know what Lian Mu really wanted to do. So he stood in place and didn't dare to act rashly, which made Lian Mu feel a little funny, so he turned around and said, "If Bai Qiang is not your senior sister, I will definitely lock you up on the eighteenth floor of the "Ice Prison"!"

Hearing this, Meng Jian knew that Lian Mu didn't intend to blame himself, so he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for the kindness of the Great Commander!"

Lian Mu pouted and said, "Thank you, thank you, don't hurry up and pack up your things!"

Meng Jian waved his hands and said, "No!"

Lian Mu looked at Meng Jian's clumsy appearance and shook his head: "Remember in the future, when you go out, don't care about things that shouldn't be taken care of, don't look at things that shouldn't be seen, unless you can cover the sky with one hand, be honest and obedient, and let you be diligent in what you do, understand?"

Meng Jian: "Everything is arranged by the Grand Commander!"

Lian Mu: "It's pretty much the same, just saw the content of the case file on the table, you shouldn't have seen it." During this time, you don't have to run to the Guangqi Courtyard again, starting tomorrow, you will learn some skills from behind Mo Yan, and come back after you have learned. ”

Meng Jian was puzzled: "Yesterday, Deputy Commander Xia told me that she would take me in the future, how could she ......?"

"Xia Hui is from a clan family after all, don't get too close to the people of the clan, it's not good for you. Lian Mu frowned and said, "Also, do you listen to her now, or do you listen to me?" Or do you need to find a place to think about it first? I think the "ice prison" is quite appropriate, what do you think?"

Meng Jian: "I'll go back and pack my things and prepare for reporting in the north of the city tomorrow!"

Lian Mu: "It's okay to keep these case files here. ”

Meng Jian: "Okay. ”

Lian Mu: "By the way, I almost forgot to ask, did you come to the military aircraft department to look for me so late, is there anything important?"

Meng Jian: "When I left the Heartfelt Restaurant this evening, I met someone, who do you guess I met?"

After hearing this, Lian Mu directly knocked Meng Jian's head: "You rushed over from the Heartfelt Restaurant, and you didn't bring me wine?"

Meng Jian said aggrievedly: "It's not that I'm afraid that I'll miss something important, and I don't dare to let anything delay me on the way!"

After hearing this, Lian Mu gave Meng Jian another look at his head: "Who allowed you to leave the Guangqi Courtyard without my permission?"

Meng Jian raised his arm to protect his head: "Isn't this mainly because there is nothing to arrange for me, so I went back to take a nap, after all, the environment in the restaurant is good and warm!"

Lian Mu raised his hand again, but he didn't hit Meng Jian, Meng Jian didn't dodge, but he raised his hands to protect his head. Lian Mu took a deep breath and said to Meng Jian: "Say, who did you meet in the heartfelt restaurant in the evening? ”

Meng Jian: "Bright moon purple willow." ”

Lian Mu was stunned: "Who?"

Meng Jian: "The second son of the Liu family!"

Lian Mu: "Do you know who the second son of the Liu family is?"

Meng Jian: "I don't know!"

Lian Mu: "Then how do you know that person is the second son of the Liu family?"

Meng Jian: "Because the shopkeeper of the Heartfelt Restaurant respectfully called him 'Second Prince Liu'! So I also knew who he was by the way, and that person was indeed wearing the clothes with the Ziliu family crest that you described to me earlier!"

Lian Mu fell into deep thought: "At noon today, Deputy Commander Xia asked for a leave of absence for me to help Liu Ergongzi here, saying that he was infected with a cold, and now you told me that you saw him in the restaurant." Who the hell do you want me to believe?"

Meng Jian's eyes rolled: "It depends on whether the Grand Commander believes me or believes in Deputy Commander Xia, but it shouldn't be in conflict with Second Prince Liu getting contaminated with the wind and cold and him going to the restaurant!"

Lian Mu: "Then when you saw him, did he look like he was contaminated with the wind and cold?"

Meng Jian: "No, if it weren't for my wit, I guess I'd have come back by now!"

Lian Mu: "What, there is still a conflict between you? I let you see the four great families walking around, did you put my words in your left ear and out of your right ear?"

Meng Jian: "I walked around at the time, but that Second Prince Liu directly blocked my way! At that time, I thought about what the Great Commander said to me when I first came to Mingyue City, 'Many times if you don't cause trouble, things may still provoke you', it turns out that there are really such strange things in this world!"

Lian Mu: "Let's not talk about this for now, I'm more curious about how you got out? With my understanding of Liu Ergongzi, if he didn't cripple you, how could he let you go?"

Meng Jian: "I reported the name of the Great Commander!"

Lian Mu was stunned, and then gave Meng Jian a thumbs up: "Awesome or you are awesome!It seems that you have completely forgotten what I said before!"

Meng Jian: "I only remembered it after I finished speaking. ”

Lian Mu: "Then you are quite capable?"

Meng Jian: "It's okay!"

Lian Mu raised his hand and pretended to hit Meng Jian, Meng Jian subconsciously parried, Lian Mu continued to ask with a smile: "Do you know why Liu Ergongzi appeared in the Heartfelt Restaurant?"

Meng Jian: "Maybe it's to buy wine?"

After hearing this, Lian Mu did not take Meng Jian's words again, but fell his deep gaze on the case file on the table, which had been fully organized, and fell into a long contemplation here.

Between the flickering candles, the bright moonlight mixed with a little starlight fell into the cold wine next to the case file through the skylight of Yao Pavilion, and the pungent aroma of wine immediately woke up Lian Mu. Silently, the man drank all the wine in the wine glass, and then said to Meng Jian: "It's not too early, you go back and rest." The Sincere Restaurant is very close to the north of the city, and from tomorrow onwards you will follow the ink and study hard! After a while, I will test you some common sense things, if you can't answer, you will go to the "Ice Prison" to see the gate to experience the experience, do you hear?"

Meng Jian waved his hand: "No!"

"There are only a handful of people who deserve my heavy responsibilities today. ”

Between the words, Lian Mu patted Meng Jian's shoulder and said to himself, "And you are the most important one among them." ”

Meng Jian: "Me?"

Lian Mu: "You have a lot of potential, and you don't have a complicated background, plus you are kind-hearted, and my senior sister is Baiqiang, I naturally won't treat you as an ordinary person, so sometimes if you are stricter, don't take it to heart." ”

Meng Jian smiled: "How could it be!"

Lian Mu: "Did I tell you before, in fact, your personality is very similar to an old man I once knew, but now you are what he used to be." ”

Meng Jian recalled for a moment: "It seems to have been said, but I forgot, mainly because there are too many people and things you have told me recently, so I can't remember it for a while." ”

Lian Mu: "Then you remember it this time." ”

Meng Jian: "Okay, you say." ”

Lian Mu: "His name is "Yunfan". ”

......

On October 15, the moon stars are scarce.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

The blizzard that swept the entire Jibei before came to a halt early this morning, which made Yun Fan and others, who were originally trapped in the "Falling Star Field", seize this most rare opportunity to return to Jibei.

The bright light armor in the moonlight, like a silver dragon, galloped on the empty wasteland, unstoppable. The cold wind is blowing, and due to the special cold climate in Jibei, you can see the frost and snow that has not melted everywhere along the way.

When the snow stopped this morning, Yun Fan woke up Qin An.

With the sound of the loud military trumpet, the two thousand bright light armor packed up the armaments and supplies, and under the leadership of Yun Fan, who had gradually recovered his strength, bathed in the morning light and embarked on a journey back to the dream country.

A few days ago, Yun Fan, who learned that the snow in the north of Jibei was sealed, originally planned to take the Mingguang armor to forcibly cross the wind and snow and return to the land of Jibei. After all, after learning that the invasion of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom was imminent, every moment of wasting time was torture for Yun Fan.

At present, Yun Fan is still not sure what the true intention of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Country is, but the entry of 100,000 troops to break through the mountains and rocks of the Juelong Mountain Range, which is so menacing, it can be seen that Lei Che, the lord of the Thousand Thunder Country, is determined to pass a big victory, and the snow is shameful and resentful.

Qin An didn't know what Yun Fan was in such a hurry to go back for, could it be that he was just "returning to his heart like an arrow"? Qin An didn't know about the invasion of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom, and neither Yun Fan nor Jing Xuan told him about it.

According to what Jing Xuan and Yun Fan said in the imperial capital, the army of the Xiji Qianlei Kingdom will appear in the land north of Dongji in less than half a month. So in terms of time, when Yun Fan left the imperial capital, it was the early morning of October 7, and now the territory that is about to enter Jibei is the night of October 15, and it is not surprising that the people and horses of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom will appear in Jibei on October 22, that is to say, there are only seven days left for Shuguo and Yun Fan.

In seven days, it would be too late to rush back to Mingyue City, but if Yun Fan really planned to do this, he would have to pass through the Star City, which was still occupied by the Mo Kingdom at the moment.

Jibei Point Star City, located at the intersection of the five countries of Luo, Mo, Yan, Xia and Shu, has been known as the land of five wars since ancient times. Before the establishment of the Ji Dynasty, it was often trampled by the iron hooves of all kinds of princes, until the rise of the Shu Kingdom occupied the star, the throat of the Zibi Ember Dynasty was choked, and the chaotic north ushered in the "rule of Shengping". It can be said that it was the rise of the Su Kingdom that created a rare opportunity for the rise of Emperor Mujing of Jiwu later.

Now, the wheels of history are turning again.

Yun Fan, who bid farewell to the "Falling Star Field", ushered in a more difficult choice at present. Is it to bypass the Dian Star City and return to the dream country, or go directly through the Dian Star City?

If you bypass the Star City, I'm afraid it will take another half a month to return to the dream country, and it is not certain whether there is a dream country by then. If you pass through the Star City, there will inevitably be a bloody battle. After all, it is the "White Feather Night Crow" of the Mo Kingdom that occupies the Star City now, and Yun Fan does not know the number of its defenders.

Now all the Mingguang armor who follows Yun Fan are local people who have dreamed of the country. They were all dead soldiers who were personally selected and trained by Yun Fan at the beginning, and for Yun Fan now, each of these people is very important, and he doesn't want these people to be lost on the way back to his dream country.

Yun Fan really wanted to take them home. However, the problem now is that if he goes back late, maybe his dream country will be gone. After thinking about it, Yun Fan slowed down the rhythm of the horse's hooves, and said to the two thousand bright light armor behind him: "Rest in place for the time being, make supplies for a while, and continue to hurry later!"

After hearing this, all the Mingguang armor said in unison: "No." ”

The loud sound of response resounded like thunder in the snow-covered wasteland, not worrying at all about who they would alarm or disturb by their actions. Right now, the Ming Light Armor has crossed the border with Yun Fan. And temporarily rest on the spot, waiting for Yun Fan's next command.

At this moment, Yun Fan's kettle was already empty. Qin An noticed this detail, so he handed a kettle to Yun Fan, and noticed the worry in Yun Fan's eyes during this time, and after thinking about it for a while, Qin An asked Yun Fan: "What's the matter, young master." Are you feeling a little nervous because you're almost home?"

Yun Fan smiled and asked, "How do you say this?"

Qin An: "Today's dream country should have been controlled by the clan. Between the clan and the Mingguang armor, there are still old grievances, and the young master is now recovering the Mingguang armor, which will inevitably arouse the jealousy of the clan. ”

Yun Fan: "What they think is their business. You are what I found, and with me for a day, I think who dares to be presumptuous?"

Qin An: "What is the worry in the young master's eyes at this moment?"

Yun Fan: "I was busy hurrying before, and I forgot to tell you a very important thing, the army of Xiji Thousand Thunder Country is about to fight, and it will appear in the land of Jibei in about seven days now." ”

Qin An: "Xiji Thousand Thunder Country?"

Yun Fan: "With the help of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom, they melted the unbreakable mountain stones of the Juelong Mountain Range with a lava slashing sword, and it took more than a year to dig a tunnel to our Jibei. ”

Qin An understood: "Young master, don't panic, at our current speed, we actually have time to rush back to Mingyue City to arm our defenses." ”

Yun Fan smiled after hearing this: "Qin An, you really haven't returned to Jibei for too long. If we go directly through the Dian Star City from here now, it is true that it will not take seven days to return to the Shu Kingdom, but if we bypass the Dian Star City, I am afraid that we will be able to return in twice as long as the time. ”

Hearing Yun Fan's reminder, Qin An only then remembered that the current Dianxing City had actually been occupied by the Mo Kingdom: "The young master is now planning to pass through the Dianxing City directly, or take a detour." ”

Yun Fan: "Do you think we can wait?"

Qin An: "No. ”

Yun Fan paused, turned to look at the two thousand armor of Mingguang armor behind him, and said to Qin An: "If we attack Star City now, what are the chances of winning." ”

Qin An: "It depends on how many defenders there are in Star City." However, as the 'Land of Five Wars', presumably the Mexican Kingdom must have sent heavy troops to guard Dianxing City. ”

Yun Fan: "It's really hard to say. Now that the invasion of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom is imminent, if Moyi Cassia Ming invests all his forces in Dianxing City, then it is only a matter of time before the three cities of Jibei that were finally taken away from us fall under the sword of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom. ”

Qin An: "Listening to the young master's meaning, it seems that he has already decided to pass through the Star City, right?"

Yun Fan: "When the time comes, I will go alone, and you will wait for me in the distance." ”

Qin An was puzzled: "What does the young master mean by this?"

Yun Fan: "I don't want to see any of you lose at this time. This means nothing to me or to the whole country. ”

Qin An knelt down on one knee: "Please think twice, young master!"

Yun Fan was ruthless with cold eyes: "I have made up my mind." ”

Qin An: "Qin An is willing to explore the way for the young master's vanguard, and ask the young master to reconsider, you are the hope of the entire country, and you want to be worthless than our lives!"

Yun Fan dragged Qin An's elbows: "In my eyes, each of you is my brother, and each one of you is important. Now is not yet the time for you to bleed, listen to my life, and there will be a time when you will bleed. ”

Qin An: "Without the young master, how can there be a future!"

Yun Fan smiled when he heard this: "You kid, the imperial capital has indeed not been in vain in the past few years, and now it is a lot more profitable." Alright, let's stop talking this nonsense, let's talk about it when we get to Star City. ”

At this time, after the surrounding Mingguang armor saw Qin An's move, they all cast puzzled looks, Yun Fan glanced at everyone and said loudly: "The rest is over, ready to go!"

All the bright light armor said in unison: "No!"
