October 21, evening.

The sky was overcast and snow was drifting.

In the territory of the Xia Kingdom, on the banks of the Xia Meng River.

At this time, the fire in Dian Star City had been burning for two days.

The sky south of Jibei is black and white in the snow.

Han Zhao didn't expect that after he injured so many armorers wearing Devil-Eyed Tiger helmet armor, the prince of the Xia Kingdom in front of him would not hold himself accountable, but instead treated himself as a guest.

When the frost and snow scattered between his eyebrows, it failed to dispel the doubts in Han Zhao's eyes. He looked at the prince of Xia Guo who was with him at this moment, as if he was waiting for him to tell him the reason.

Ao Xian: "Do you have many doubts in your heart at this moment? ”

Han Zhao: "Why save me." ”

Ao Xian: "The horse leather shroud is your fate, the dignified Mo country blood feather night crow commanded the drowned in the Xia Meng River, and spreading it will only make the Mo country a laughing stock." ”

Between the words, Ao Xian turned around and left the riverbank, and ordered the armor soldiers around him to prepare a set of ghost tiger armor for Han Zhao. Han Zhao frowned: "What do you mean by this?"

"There is no Iron Cloak of the Bloodfeather Night Raven here, only the armor of the Ghost Tiger Rider. "You can choose to wear it or not, no one forces you." Wearing the armor of the Ghost Tiger Rider does not mean that you will be loyal to my Xia Kingdom, but if you don't wear it, when the time comes, you will go to the battlefield, and there will be no extra armor for you. ”

Han Zhao: "You want me to die for you?"

Ao Xian: "I just want you to do me a favor." ”

Han Zhao: "What's the hurry?"

Ao Xian: "Kill Yunfan, retreat to Xiji." ”

Han Zhao: "Do you know who I am?"

"The fire in Star City woke up the entire Jibei. Between the words, Ao Xian turned to look at Han Zhao, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes that could not be said in one word: "Han Zhao of the Moyi Clan, when Jingwei Pass was in the alliance, you and I had a relationship. ”

Han Zhao tried to recall when he had seen the personable prince of Xia Guo in front of him. After thinking about it, Ao Xian patted Han Zhao's shoulder, and an inexplicable sense of coercion surged into Han Zhao's heart again, making him unable to move.

Ao Xian: "The matter of killing Yunfan can be done slowly, and soon the army of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom will appear in the land of Jibei." I don't need an experienced veteran like you to help me. ”

Han Zhao was puzzled: "What is your reason for killing Yun Fan?"

Ao Xian took the hand: "Yun Fan is not dead, and the country will be a big trouble for the entire Dongji." Killing Yun Fan is beneficial to you and me. ”

Han Zhao sneered: "You can obviously do it yourself." ”

Ao Xian: "I don't want Xia Guo and Shu Guo to face each other. ”

Han Zhao: "You want to swallow the kingdom of Shu?"

Ao Xian: "With Yunfan, it will never be." ”

Han Zhao: "It's rumored outside now that Yun Fan is not the bloodline of the Yun Clan. If you really want to take the country without blood, you can make a fuss about it. ”

Ao Xian sighed: "Although it is now rumored that Yun Fan is not the bloodline of the Yun clan outside, as long as the clan of the Shu Kingdom does not admit it, the rumors will always be rumors." ”

Han Zhao: "If I help you, what can I get?" ”

Ao Xian: "Helping me is equivalent to helping Xia Guo." This means that Xia Guo owes you a favor to Mo Country. If you promise to help me today, if he needs help in the future, Ao Xian will spare no effort. ”

Han Zhao listened to it and put on the armor of the ghost tiger rider. Ao Xin smiled happily when he saw this. When Han Zhao put on the ghost tiger armor, all the armor soldiers around him knelt on the ground. As if to celebrate him, and as if to declare allegiance.

The scene in front of him made Han Zhao frown: "Explain in advance, at this moment, I put on the armor of the Ghost Tiger Rider, which does not mean that I am loyal to your Xia Kingdom, but I just agreed to help you with this." ”

At this time, Ao Xian untied his sword and handed it to Han Zhao.

It was a broad-edged sword three feet and four inches long, and the hilt of the sword had the blood tiger family crest of the Xia Guo Ao clan. Ao Xin's move made Han Zhao feel very surprised and puzzled: "What are you going to do here?"

Ao Xian: "This sword is called "Hu Hu" and is made of stainless steel. The hardness is no less than the silver and gold that is a specialty of the country. It is rumored that there is a tiger spirit in the sword, which can kill the traitors in the world. Today I have this sword as a token of my promise to General Han Zhao. ”

Between the words, Han Zhao took both hands from Ao Xian's hands and slowly pulled out the sword. But he heard a deep sound of sword groaning, which sounded in Han Zhao's ears, as if a fierce tiger roared in the deep mountains, and finally returned to the valley in his heart silently.

"Good sword. The moment he pulled out his sword, Han Zhao couldn't put it down. Ao Xian smiled slightly: "At this moment, the armor worn by these ghost tiger riders around you is made of stainless steel. Their combat power is even better than that of the Ming Guang Armor of the Dreaming Kingdom. ”

Han Zhao didn't seem to care about what Ao Xian said. He silently put his sword back into its sheath and turned the conversation around: "When are we leaving?" ”

Ao Xian raised his eyes and cast his gaze into the depths of the distance. The falling snow melted as it touched his eyebrows: "Actually, we are already on our way. ”

......

Dongji, Shuguo, Mingyue City.

There is no light in the long dark passage.

Meng Jian touched the cold stone wall and cautiously walked forward in the dark, for fear that Lu Ming, who was on the fledge, would find out. In the distance, a faint light reminded Meng Jian that the person he was looking for was not far away, but Meng Jian didn't dare to get too close.

He was afraid that his heartbeat would be heard by Lu Ming, and he was also afraid that his footsteps would make Lu Ming notice. After all, Meng Jian at this time was just a sixth-order martial artist, and Lu Ming was half a step away from being at the peak of the ninth-order.

This point was mentioned to Lian Mu when he was frying and eating steamed buns with Xiaohu before. So if Meng Jian let Lu Ming find out that he was secretly following him next, I am afraid that with Lu Ming's skills, there is only a dead end waiting for Meng Jian.

It stands to reason that Meng Jian only needs to follow Lu Ming all the way to figure out where he is going and what he is going to do, and he doesn't need to take Lu Ming down. After all, he couldn't beat Lu Ming. And the first premise to complete this task is that Meng Jian first protects his own safety.

In fact, from the time Meng Jian broke into this secret passage. Lu Ming already knew that someone was following him. It's just that the two were far away at that time, so Lu Ming couldn't immediately determine what Meng Jian's skills were. However, now that the distance between the two was getting closer, Lu Ming was sure that he would only need half a move to take down the person who was following him.

After confirming that the person who came was not as good as himself, Lu Ming did not plan to subdue and kill the person in the dark tunnel immediately. Rather than killing him, it would be more interesting to leave him alone in this dark passage that does not see the light of day and wait for death.

Behind him, Meng Jian carefully stepped on the undulating stairs, not knowing how long he had followed Lu Ming. Time is passing little by little, and the danger is getting closer and closer to Meng Jian.

At this moment, outside the dark passage, it is already night. Although the snow was getting heavier and heavier, the fire of the Star City, far south of the canopy, was burning more and more.

When Yun Fan returned, Akzati, who was guarding the city gate, thought he was hallucinating. At that time, Akzati regarded the refugees of the Su Kingdom and the slaves of the Mexican Kingdom except for the two thousand Ming Guang Armor as the "reinforcements" promised by Yun Fan and Gu Yina when he left, so that when the message was conveyed to Gu Yina, Gu Yina excitedly went to the city gate to welcome Yun Fan back.

Tens of thousands of refugees from Dian Star City and slaves from the Ink Kingdom finally moved to Mirror Moon City under the guidance of the Sa Warriors and the Frost Sword. In the process, such a huge formation naturally shocked the frost sword.

In the wind and snow, Lian Mu put on the "frost armor", carried the spear "Eroding Heart", which symbolized the dominance of the Mingguang armor in the past, and took Xia Hui and Han Ji to pretend to welcome Yun Fan's return, but in fact, he explored the reality.

For Lian Mu's move, Mo Yan was not very able to understand. It seems that in Lian Mu's eyes, "proving himself" to Yunfan is more important than finding Meng Jian. In fact, Mo Yan didn't know that Lian Mu's move was actually also "instructed" by Yun Ji.

Lian Mu took the frost sword to welcome Yun Fan's return, not because he particularly wanted to go, but because he had to go. Even the clan of the Su Kingdom sent out those family heads who had been absent from the night banquet when Yun Fan first returned, except for the "Three Friends of Jibei", what reason did Lian Mu have not to attend.

Although at this time, with the fall of Lu You, all forces have concluded the "Bright Moon Alliance" under the secret promotion of well-intentioned people, this does not mean that the past grievances will be turned over, and it can only be said that it will be put aside for the time being.

As soon as he learned of Yun Fan's return, Lian Mu summoned all the frost swords of the Hanjia Division and went to the city gate to greet Yun Fan. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a "demonstration" under the guise of Lian Mu's welcome. Among all the onlookers, in addition to the curious people, there are also many children of families who love to watch the excitement.

It's been a long time since Bright Moon City has been so lively tonight.

Among the onlookers, some of them welcomed Yun Fan's return with unprecedented cheers when they saw that Yun Fan had brought back so many people who had been captured by the Mexican State before, and instead brought back the Mexican captives.

In this regard, although Yun Fan was indifferent, he was very happy in his heart. There's nothing more rewarding than having the support and approval of the people you care about and protect. This point, even in the eyes of outsiders, is numb and cold-blooded Yun Fan, there can be no exception.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, but the hearts of the people of the country are warm. Bu Weilan didn't know when he appeared next to Lian Mu. His appearance means that Pu Jia has returned to Yun Ji at this moment and brought back the news of Yun Fan's return.

"Why are you here?" Looking at Yun Fan, who was talking to Gu Yina in the distance, Lian Mu asked slightly. And Bu Weilan's gaze happened to converge with Lian Mu on Yun Fan's body at the same time: "Nature is to witness this historic moment." ”

Lian Mu asked, "What does the lord of the country say about this?" ”

Bu Weilan: "The lord didn't say anything. ”

Lian Mu wondered: "Then why are you here?" ”

Bu Weilan: "Where the Great Commander of the Three Divisions of the Frost Sword is located, how can Si Zuo be absent." ”

Lian Mu: "I thought the lord of the country asked you to bring something to me, after all, I just beat the second son of the Liu family yesterday, and it was not light." ”

Bu Weilan smiled and lowered his voice, as if he was worried about being heard by Xia Hui and Han Wei beside him: "Brother Lian, this is not only the face of the Liu family, but also the majesty of the entire clan. Although the head of the Liu family, Master Liu doesn't care about you now, it doesn't mean that he won't settle old accounts with you after all the things are over. ”

Lian Mu complained: "I did this for the sake of the country. ”

Bu Weilan smiled: "The clan also thinks so. ”

Lian Mu asked rhetorically: "Did the sect expect that Yun Fan would recover the Mingguang Armor? and enter the city with such a great light as now!"

Bu Weilan: "Regarding the past of Mingguang Armor, Brother Lian should be clear today, so I don't need to repeat it, right?"

Lian Mu frowned: "How do you know everything?"

Between the words, the snow melted between the eyebrows.

Xia Hui and Han Wei, who were standing behind the two, subconsciously leaned forward, as if they wanted to hear what Lian Mu and Bu Weilan were talking about. As a result, the topic of Lian Mu and Bu Weilan came to an abrupt end at this time.

It stands to reason that when Yun Fan returns again, Lin Ran of the Law Division and Pu Jia of the Pro-Health Division should also be present. But because of some other things, in the end, they could only be attended by Lian Mu, a man who was also the commander of the three divisions, instead of them.

What is more embarrassing is that even as the "overseer" of the Hanjia Division, Lian Mu should have four deputy commanders behind him. As a result, Liu Feng's soul was seriously injured at the moment, and in order to investigate Meng Jian's whereabouts, Mo Yan was torturing Lu You in the "Ice Prison" at the moment, so at the moment, only Xia Hui and Han Wei were behind Lian Mu, these two deputy commanders from families who had never been absent from any big scenes.

Looking at the snow, Lian Mu's thoughts were also inadvertently moved by Meng Jian, who didn't know where to go in the evening. As a result, this man who was full of stories accidentally lost his mind, not realizing that Yun Fan's gaze had touched him when he was distracted.

"What is he looking at?" Looking at Lian Mu who was looking at him from a distance with such a melancholy expression, Yun Fan asked Gu Yina puzzled, "What happened in the city when I was away. ”

"There's so much going on!" Gu Yina said with a trick, "but don't worry, it's all settled before you return." ”

Yun Fan frowned: "For example?"

Gu Yina smiled: "I can't say a word!"

Seeing that Gu Yina avoided her own question, Yun Fan turned to ask Akzati: "What about Xin Zaima, why didn't I see her, what was she doing during this time, you didn't cause trouble in the city, right?"

Akzati glanced at Gu Yina's eyes, and turned to Yun Fan and said, "Xin Zaima, it's okay! Just now, I was still there coordinating the soldiers of our Sa Department to help Junhou arrange for refugees to move to Mirror Moon City, it is estimated that there are too many people, so Junhou didn't see her." ”

Between the words, Yun Fan's gaze turned to Lian Mu again: "Why is he still looking at me with such eyes? Could it be that you told him something when I was away, so that he suddenly found out in his conscience and felt that he had been very sorry for me all these years?"

Gu Yina and Akzati looked at each other and smiled, but listened to Gu Yina say: "When the prince was away, we did have contact with this Lian Great Commander, but just a few words can't let us fully understand this great commander with a special style, what is he thinking, why don't you go and ask him in person later?"

Yun Fan was a little numb by Lian Mu's eyes. Regarding Gu Yina's proposal, Yun Fan wanted to refuse. But seeing that the Frost Sword and the clan had come out of such a big formation to greet him at this moment, Yun Fan was quite surprised, and he also felt uncomfortable, so he turned around after thinking about it, and said to Gu Yina: "Wait until all the people of the Su Kingdom have been settled." Let's talk about it. ”

Gu Yina's eyes were tactful: "Then before that, let them wait here?"

Yun Fan glanced at Akzati: "What do you think about this?"

Akzati shrugged: "I can do it." ”

Guina: "......"

Yun Fan listened, and directly punched Akzati in the shoulder: "What are you doing, do you understand what I was talking about just now?"

At this time, Qin An slowly returned from outside the city, and Yun Fan hurriedly stopped him after seeing Qin An, and introduced him to Gu Yina and Akzati: "This is the future commander of Mingguang Armor, the son of Qin Shen, a famous general of the country, Qin An!"

Between the words, Qin An waved hands with Gu Yina and Akzati. Yun Fan introduced Akzati and Gu Yina to Qin An during this period: "This is Akzati, the first shooter in the Northern Desert, and this is Gu Yina, my confidant strategist." ”

Under Yun Fan's introduction, Qin An and Gu Yina's eyes met. For a while, Qin An was a little at a loss, as if time had stood still between him and Gu Yina's eyes, and Akzati, who was standing next to Gu Yina, couldn't stand still, and hurriedly held Qin An's hand: "Commander Qin? ”

With Akzati's "enthusiasm", Qin An's gaze reluctantly moved away from Gu Yina, and said to Akzati with some despair: "Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you." ”

This scene made Yun Fan laugh.

In the distance, Lian Mu, who was standing in the wind and snow, withdrew his thoughts after seeing Qin An appear. And said to Bu Weilan beside him: "The snow is getting heavier and heavier, how long does he plan to let us wait like this?"

Bu Weilan smiled slightly: "I'm looking fast." ”

Lian Mu looked at Qin An in the distance suspiciously: "Because the person who was talking to him is here?" Wait, how do I see that person's appearance is a little familiar? Where do you seem to have seen it?"

Bu Weilan smiled silently.

In the wind and snow, Lian Mu turned to the other side with his blink and slight gaze, but saw Lu Weiwen slowly appearing in clothes with purple willow leaf mink fur under the courtesy of the heads of the major sects.

Lian Mu asked incomprehensibly: "This is not the person you told me about a few days ago, why is he here now on behalf of the clan?"

Bu Weilan smiled and said: "Lu Gongzi is a member of the clan, looking at the mink fur he wears, there must be no need to say too much." ”

Lian Mu became more and more puzzled: "Then is he still his own person?

Bu Weilan replied: "Those who can appear here tonight are all for the revival of the country and participate in the grand event." ”

Lian Mu smiled and thought to himself, "Scholars speak one set after another, and some words are said directly, will they die?"

Between the words, Lu Weiwen led the long-awaited Shuguo clan to stand side by side with Lian Mu and others. I didn't forget to wave my hand with Bu Weilan Lian Mu: "It's been a long time, two adults." ”

Bu Weilan smiled slightly: "It's been a long time since I saw Gongzi Lu, looking at your posture, what should I call you now?"

Lu Weiwen sighed: "Lord Bu is polite, I haven't heard that it is still the last family that talked happily with adults in Lu Yuan that evening, how can you be called 'you'." ”

Lian Mu coughed and interjected: "Master Lu, this mink Qiu is good! ”

Lu Weiwen was stunned, glanced at the embarrassed Bu Weilan next to him, and then said slowly: "This is a gift from the family teacher, I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill the wishes of the great commander." ”

Between the words, Lian Mubu was slight, and Xia Hui, who was standing behind them, and many family heads all felt unprecedented shock between the three words that Lu Weiwen had understated.

Lian Mu's eyes widened, he looked at the mink fur on Lu Weiwen's body that indeed had the purple willow leaves of the Liu family, and then looked at Bu Weilan, who was also surprised beside him, and then turned to ask Lu Weiwen: "Take the liberty of asking, which Liu family master in Lu Gongzi's mouth is the master of the Liu family who lives in the city?

Lu Weiwen: "The master of the Su State Clan, Liu Su." ”

The noise and discussion made the already unquiet night a little noisy and even boiling at the moment. Yun Fan, who didn't know why, also took Gu Yina and Qin An during this period, and slowly walked towards Lian Mu and the others. As for Akzati, he was arranged by Yun Fan to guard the city gate.

"That person is Lu Weiwen, right?" In the process of moving, Yun Fan asked Gu Yina beside him, "I didn't recognize the wrong person, right?"

Gu Yina followed Yun Fan's point, frowned, and said, "It is Lu Gongzi of Dian Star City." ”

Yun Fan was puzzled: "Why is he wearing a mink fur with purple willow leaves, could it be that during my absence, this last prince who was rejected by the Shuguo clan at the night banquet was suddenly discovered by the Liu family, and then accepted as a righteous son." ”

"It is expected that everything is not what the prince thinks. Gu Yina affirmed, "Maybe Lu Gongzi has other arrangements." ”

Yun Fan smiled: "Listening to your tone, did you have any contact when I was not there? Otherwise, why did you say that you didn't understand when I asked you Lian Mu, but when you asked about Lu Weiwen, you were so sure?"

Because of Yun Fan's ridicule, Gu Yina immediately blushed and avoided his gaze, Yun Fan didn't ask any further, but turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go up and listen to what they are talking about now!"
