October 18th, late at night.

Dongji Shuguo Mingyue City, Lufu.

It was the first time that Gu Yina had drunk "Drunk".

She had heard Lu Weiwen tell stories about this wine before. At the time she didn't believe it, but now after drinking, she has to believe it. The special "drunk" taste is indeed excellent, there is nothing to find fault with, it is not too much to say that it is the "quintessence" of the country.

In the midst of the bright lights, Gu Yina's complexion was white and red.

The slender hand was holding the glass, but it was trembling uncontrollably. Seeing this, Akzati hurriedly said with concern: "Are you okay?"

Gu Yina stroked her forehead: "It's a little too strong to drink." ”

Akzati pondered, "Why don't you go back first? I'm here here, so nothing big should happen." ”

Without waiting for Gu Yina to respond to Akzati, Lu Ming suddenly toasted to Gu Yina: "I salute the general for this glass of wine!"

Gu Yina, who was slightly drunk, smiled back at Lu Ming, but Akzati blocked the glass of wine for Gu Yina again: "I'll accompany Lu Gongzi to drink this cup of wine!"

Seeing this, Lu Ming was displeased, but his face did not reflect it. The wine that Luming drinks has no taste of alcohol, but Akzati's is different. At this moment, Lu Ming wanted to see how much wine the barbarian in front of him could block, so he said happily: "Come, let's get drunk tonight!"

Akzati: "If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

Lu You, who was on the throne of the main family, had already noticed that Gu Yina was a little drunk and confused at this time. In between Akzati and Lu Ming's drinks, the thoughtful old man tried to take advantage of Gu Yina's slight drunkenness to get some words out of her mouth.

The old man, with a hypocritical smile, pretended to care for Gu Yina: "Is General Gu Yina okay?"

Gu Yina pretended not to hear Lu You's words clearly, so she turned around and said, "Is there something wrong with Lord Lu?"

Lu You saw that Gu Yina was so straight to the point, so he asked directly: "A long time ago, Lu often heard the generals guarding the border pass mention the heroic deeds of the six generals of the Sa Department. But why is it that until now, there are only two generals in the city, Akzati and Sinzaima, but not the others?"

Gu Yina put down her wine glass with a smile: "The remaining four people were assigned important tasks before entering the city, and when they are done, I will introduce Lord Deer." ”

Lu You: "What kind of tasks are they?"

Gu Yina: "I don't know about that. ”

Between the words, Lu You sensed Gu Yina's vigilance: "General, don't misunderstand, I'm just curious, so I asked a few more words, and I have no other intentions." ”

Gu Yina smiled: "There are no outsiders during the banquet, adults don't need to be so restrained, the main thing is that their tasks are directly ordered by the prince, so even I don't have the right to ask too much." ”

Lu You thought thoughtfully: "I see. ”

The slender hand raised the wine glass and saluted Lu You: "I salute Lord with this cup." ”

Lu You hurriedly raised his glass to touch, but he didn't expect Gu Yina to be slightly drunk at this time, so she couldn't hold the wine glass, causing some of the wine to spill on Lu You's sleeve robe. Lu Ming, who was originally drinking with Akzati, showed murderous intent after seeing this scene, but his reaction made Akzati suddenly vigilant.

Lu Ming: "Father, are you okay?"

The originally lively banquet suddenly fell silent with Lu Ming's question, and everyone's eyes turned to the VIP seat and the main family seat at this moment. The scene was a little suffocating in an instant, Lu You glanced at Lu Ming and then said slowly: "It's okay." ”

Seeing this, Gu Yina hurriedly apologized again and again: "Lord Lu, I'm really sorry, it's the first time I drank such wine, and I was a little overwhelmed. ”

At this time, Lu Ming, there was a murderous aura in his eyes.

Akzati immediately came out of the round and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the wine is spilled, everyone continues to eat and drink, small things, small things!"

"I don't think it's a small thing. Lu Ming's words instantly made Gu Yina and the others unable to get off the stage, and the originally suffocating scene became even more unsure of what to do at this moment.

After hearing this, Lu You frowned: "Presumptuous, rebel, how do you talk to the guests?"

"Childe is right, this is indeed not a trivial matter. Gu Yina apologized, "It was Gu Yina who lost her manners and embarrassed Lord Lu." ”

General Guina's words were serious, but some drinks were inadvertently spilled on his sleeves, which was a trivial matter and harmless. Lu You embarrassedly tried to round the field, and did not forget to reprimand Lu Ming, "Rebel, why don't you apologize to the general soon?"

At Lu You's urging, Lu Ming still chose to bow his head. However, before Lu Ming could speak, a long neighing sound of three horses suddenly came from outside the Lu Mansion. After hearing this, Akzati put down the wine glass in his hand and turned to Lu You, "Gu Yina should be drunk. This is my fault, and it has nothing to do with Lu Gongzi, so I will be excused if I apologize. I don't think it's too early, so I'll get here today, and I'll wait until Gu Yina wakes up another day, and I'll come to the door and make public amends with Lord Lu. ”

Between the words, Gu Yina was already a little tired and confused, looking at her like that, she felt that she might get drunk on the spot at any time. After hearing Akzati's words, Lu Ming's displeasure in his heart became even more difficult to suppress.

"Two generals, are you leaving? Seeing that the situation had changed abruptly, Lu You tried to salvage the situation and let everything go according to his previous plan, "As far as I know, since the fire of Qi Temple, the generals have lived in the "Luoxia Mansion" in Mirror Moon City, right. ”

Akzati: Exactly. ”

Lu You: "It will take at least more than two hours from Lufu to Luoxia Mansion, and now the black lights outside are blinding, and bumps along the way are inevitable. ”

"What's so embarrassing about this?" Akzati drank the wine from his glass, just as Guina fell drunk into Akzati's arms. Akzati was a little overwhelmed for a moment: "Are you pretending to be drunk, or are you really drunk?"

He whispered in Guina's ear, but Guina didn't respond to his question. Sniffing, between the golden hair, a faint fragrance poured into Akzati's heart. In the end, Akzati politely rejected Lu You's proposal: "Lord Lu's kindness, I will appreciate it, if there is any offense during the banquet tonight, I hope Haihan, thank you for the hospitality, it's not too early, I will have other arrangements tomorrow, and we will meet again tomorrow!"

"Then ......" Lu You saw that Akzati had made up his mind, and it was not easy to force him to stay, so he turned to say, "I will send the general?"

"There is labor. Between the words, Akzati picked up the drunk Gu Yina, and by the way, ordered the samurai accompanying him to carry two altars to "get drunk", and then slowly left under the escort of the other three Chiyan samurai. Seeing this, everyone got up and watched Akzati leave, and then turned their eyes to Luyou.

At this time, Lu You suppressed the anger in his heart. He glared at Lu Ming, and then led Lu Ming after Akzati and sent them away. The rest of the wealthy gentry followed. As a result, the originally lively hall was instantly empty.

On the way from the hall to the gate of Lufu, Lu You has been thinking about how to save the situation, so that all this continues to move closer according to the plan in his heart, and finally when he was about to arrive at the door, Lu You thought of a plan, so he whispered to Lu Ming: "You go and gather the family members outside the gate of the mansion, and then you will follow directly to Akzati and the others, and escort them back to the Xia Mansion." ”

Lu Ming frowned and said nothing, as if he was resentful.

Lu You urged: "Why don't you go soon?"

At this moment, Akzati, who was walking in front of people, sneered and did not say a word. In fact, he could hear everything Lu You said. After all, Akzati is a martial artist who has already entered the "Realm of Mental Martial Arts". Within a radius of three miles, there is only what he doesn't want to hear, and there is nothing he can't hear.

However, what Lu You didn't know was that in fact, the ending of tonight's banquet had been doomed since Gu Yina and the others stepped into Lufu. Although Gu Yina did not expect that she would be so drunk in the middle of the banquet at that time, Akzati obediently carried out the "script" according to her previous arrangement.

Lu You, who was a little uneasy when he left the table, after instructing Lu Ming related matters, stretched his eyebrows and smiled with Akzati, and then paved the way for Lu Ming to escort them away, and when everyone came to the gate of Lufu. Lu You, who was already smiling, instantly sank his face.

And this time, Lu You's face was darker than the night. In addition to Lu You, those rich gentry also showed surprised and puzzled expressions after seeing the next scene, and threw their eyes at Lu You from time to time, waiting for his next instructions.

"Long time no see, Lord Deer. ”

"It's been a long time, Second Prince Liu. ”

Lu You looked at Liu Feng's soul who appeared outside the gate of Lufu in a carriage at this time, and once again suppressed the nameless fire in his heart. The carriage was still the same carriage in the evening, but he didn't know if Liu Fengsoul had just arrived, or if the chariot warrior who had sent Gu Yina and the others over earlier was actually disguised by Liu Fengsoul. Lu You didn't pay attention to this detail from the beginning.

Lu You, who was obviously very angry, tried to calm down his emotions, and politely asked Liu Fengsoul: "At such a late hour, Liu Ergongzi appeared outside the gate of Lufu, is there something wrong?"

Liu Fengsoul: "Oh, I'm here to pick up friends. ”

Lu You: "Friend?"

Akzati: "Yes, Lao Liu is here to pick me up, and I am the friend he calls him." ”

At this time, Akzat rubbed shoulders with everyone, and in full view of everyone, he carefully boarded the carriage with Gu Yina in his arms, and then settled Gu Yina very gently, for fear of waking her up.

Lu You was puzzled: "The two of you know each other?"

Akzat and Liu Feng looked at each other and smiled: "In the words of your long-cherished country, 'old and mature'!"

At this time, Lu Ming arrived with his family according to Lu You's instructions and waited for Lu You's next arrangement. Seeing this, Liu Fengsoul teased: "Yo, Akzati, you didn't make trouble in Lufu tonight, why did so many people come out to see you off?"

Akzati: "Lord Lu is so enthusiastic, if I hadn't gone with you to meet the clan of the Shu Kingdom tomorrow, I guess I would have stayed in Lufu tonight." ”

Between the words, Akzati handed the two pots of 'drunkenness' that he had taken away when he left before to Liu Fengsoul: "This is a gift from Lord Lu, why don't you thank you?"

Liu Fengsoul let go of the reins: "Thank you, Lord Deer." ”

Lu Ming, who was standing behind Lu You, after witnessing this, the green tendons between his eyebrows burst out, and he subconsciously took a step forward, as if he was about to make a move, but was stopped by Lu You.

At the same time, the dozens of Chiyan warriors who had escorted Akzati and others to Lufu in the evening surrounded the carriage driven by Liu Fengsoul at this time.

Seeing that almost everything was decided, Akzati didn't want to hurt the "harmony" on the scene, so he politely said goodbye to Lu You: "Thank you Lord Lu for your hospitality tonight, we will go first, and we will come to the door to apologize another day!"

Lu You held back the anger in his heart and smiled: "General Akzati is really too polite, so I will do this today, and I will not send it far." ”

As a barbarian, Akzati immediately followed the example of the Chinese and waved his hand to Luyou: "Farewell." ”

When the two were polite, Liu Fengsoul had quietly drunk a pot of wine, and when Lu You said "farewell", he smashed the wine jug in front of him, and then grabbed the reins and said loudly: "Drive!"

After the people standing behind Lu You saw this scene, they talked about it. Looking at the carriage escorted by dozens of warriors gradually moving away under the moonlight, those rich gentry who were still surrounded by Luyou a moment ago dispersed as birds and beasts at this moment.

This scene made Lu Ming can't help but let out a sneer. After everyone dispersed, Lu Ming asked Lu You puzzled: "Why did my father stop me just now?"

Lu You: "What, is it possible that you still want to do something with Liu Feng's soul?" You are still young, I don't want to experience a white-haired person sending a black-haired person. ”

Lu Ming: "Then let them go." ”

Lu You pondered for a moment, his eyes lingering with incomprehensible doubts: "Why did Liu Feng's soul appear here, why did he know Akzati, why is he also a barbarian, Akzati is not drunk but Gu Yina is drunk......?"

Lu Ming listened to Lu You's self-talk, and didn't know what to say for a while. The father and son were standing outside the door of Lufu like stone statues at the moment, but Lu You's eyes were full of doubts, while Lu Ming's eyes were full of killing intent.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Until a night raven flew silently under the moon.

The doubts surrounding Lu You's heart gradually dissipated between his eyebrows, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that the reason why Gu Yina slapped Lian Mu a few days ago was actually to teach Lian Mu a lesson for the clan? Could it be that these barbarians, who seem to not stand in line, have already secretly allied with the clan? Then why does she still go to the banquet tonight? And why does she have to drink all the wine in her cup even though she is not strong enough to drink? No, if that's the case, she went to the banquet tonight to test me for the clan, and the reason why Liu Fengsoul came to pick her up was actually to tell me that now it's not just the frost sword that is eyeing me, but the clan is also eyeing me, it's not good!

Seeing that Lu You's face was extremely ugly, Lu Ming, as a son, couldn't help but care: "What's the matter, father? Is something going to happen?"

Lu You didn't answer Lu Ming's question, but hurriedly turned around and went back to the house. Before turning around, the anxious Lu You and the dazed Lu Ming said solemnly: "Quick! Go quickly! You go in person! Go to the "Heartfelt Restaurant"! Find the girl with a thousand feathers! Invite her to come to the house, and say that something big is going to happen!

......

October 16th, early in the morning.

On the way to report to the northern part of Frost Sword Hanjiasi City, Meng Jian met the haggard Mo Yan. Out of caution, Meng Jian didn't dare to ask Mo Yan anything, but just helped him back to the north of the city. On the way, I also bought a few steamed buns for breakfast. During the whole process, since Meng Jian and Mo Yan met, they listened to Mo Yan talk to himself for a while, and Meng Jian did not listen to Mo Yan say half a sentence again.

Meng Jian didn't know what Mo Yan had experienced last night.

He didn't dare to ask anything, and it was hard to say anything.

After returning to the north of the city, Mo Yan immediately gave Meng Jian the first task, to learn the relevant intelligence gathering work and how to disguise himself from Zhou Kang. Mo Yan, on the other hand, has been secretly observing Meng Jian who is studying, and Zhou Kang, who is absent-minded.

Meng Jian didn't know if Mo Yan had rested after returning to the northern part of the city. Before returning to the northern part of the city, Mo Jian told Meng Jian not to mention anything about himself to Zhou Kang, including the unexpected encounter this morning.

Because Mo Yan came back, Zhou Kang was able to be idle. Originally, he planned to go to Qianyu Fenghua again on the evening of October 16, but he didn't expect that when he woke up after a hard night's work, Mo Yan actually arranged such a new task for him - to take Meng Jian to familiarize himself with the entire northern part of the Frost Sword and Cold Jiasi City, as well as master the most basic intelligence analysis, collection and archiving.

Finally, there is camouflage.

When he heard Mo Yan mention the word "disguise", Zhou Kang was a little nervous, for some reason. It may be that he is "a thief with a weak heart", and Mo Yan silently observed Zhou Kang's emotional changes in the process.

Meng Jian, who studied with Zhou Kang, was very serious.

Although after listening to Mo Jian say the word "disguise", Zhou Kang felt that Mo Yan seemed to be hinting at something intentionally or unintentionally, which caused him to teach Meng Jian a little absent-mindedly in the following time, but in fact, he was really "teaching each other".

The naïve Meng Jian didn't know what Mo Jian was going to do, thinking that he really wanted Zhou Kang to teach him these skills. And Mo Yan wasn't worried that Meng Jian would say anything in the process. In fact, there was a plan for revenge that had already been thought of on the way back to the northern part of the city.

And Meng Jian, so unintentionally, accidentally became a pawn of Mo Yan to promote his revenge plan. When introducing Meng Jian and Zhou Kang to each other, Mo Yan told Zhou Kang: "Meng Jian is the little brother of Lian Da, and I have to be busy with other things during this time." ”

Zhou Kang asked tentatively, "What's the matter?" ”

"Don't ask what you shouldn't. Between the words, Mo Yan pretended to be stern, and whispered to Zhou Kang in an instant softening tone, "Lu You's case is almost over in the near future." ”

Zhou Kang smiled, but he didn't know that while he was testing Mo Yan, Mo Yan was also testing him: "So, this kid will be handed over to you during this time, my good apprentice." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Kang felt the trust as always from Mo Yan's words, so he saluted with Mo Yan: "I promise to complete the task and live up to my master's expectations!"

Mo Yan patted Zhou Kang's shoulder with a smile, but he didn't know that Zhou Kang found that Mo Yan's eyes were bloodshot here. Zhou Kang didn't ask much, and Mo Yan also found the confusion in Zhou Kang's eyes here, so he didn't avoid his gaze.

If Mo Yan avoided it, Zhou Kang might really be suspicious. And Mo Yan didn't avoid it, so Zhou Kang only thought that Mo Yan didn't rest well last night or was too tired a few days ago and now he didn't have enough rest, so this scene was caused.

As everyone knows, this short eye contact. There are too many stories hidden in the depths that cannot be explained in a few words. At this moment, Zhou Kang didn't know what would happen next. But in Mo Yan's heart, two days later, that is, on the night of October 18, when Lu You received Gu Yina and others, he also made a break with Zhou Kang.

Zhou Kang, who was trusted by Mo Yan, gave Meng Jian all the bits and pieces that Mo Yan taught him in the past two days. In fact, in this process, Zhou Kang took Meng Jian as his student. It's just that he didn't expect that this time would be his first time as a teacher, but it would also be the last time.

Meng Jian didn't think about what Mo Yan wanted to do, or what he was doing. Intuition told Meng Jian that there must be something strange about this, especially when combined with Mo Yan's self-talk when he met Mo Yan this morning.

The doubts that lingered in Meng Jian's heart will also come to light on the night of October 18. Bright Moon City, which has been silent for a long time, is about to usher in a sudden change on October 18 after bidding farewell to the dark tide of October 15.

And in the midst of this sudden change that has quietly taken place.

No one in this city is immune.

At this moment, Meng Jian is learning very seriously.

In fact, he didn't realize it.

The ink he saw this morning was no longer the ink of last night. Adult habits and thinking are difficult to change easily by others, especially those with a particularly stubborn personality. But if something special happens to them, the result will be irreversible.

Meng Jian didn't know what the ink was like before. However, after this period of contact, and the stories about ink from others, most of them are inseparable from words such as "mysterious", "lonely", and "withdrawn".

In fact, in this city.

The only one who really understands Mo Yan is Pu Jia.

The sad thing is that at this moment, Pu Jia is in the palace, replacing Bu Weilan to become Yun Ji's think tank, accompanying Yun Ji. And now with Mo Yan, in addition to loneliness, is hatred driven by sadness.

The man, trying to keep himself from being consumed by anger, continued to lose his mind. He had to keep his sanity, because only in this way could he avenge Xiao Er.

On October 16, there is no snow in Bright Moon City.

Laughter can be heard everywhere.

On October 16, the Heartfelt Restaurant was still busy.

Shopkeeper He couldn't close his mouth when he counted the money, and more and more little beggars no longer had to live on the streets under the kindness of Qianyu Fenghua, and with her sponsorship, they changed their outfits and appeared in the Heartfelt Restaurant to give Shopkeeper He a hand.

However, it was in the early morning of October 16, that is, in the middle of the night of October 15. In the depths of the palace, the blood-eyed frosthoof, which had been sleeping for a long time, slowly opened its sleepy eyes. As the Zhenguo Divine Beast of the Su Country, one of the Twelve Ancient Sacred Beasts, the Blood-Eyed Frosthoof rarely shows its fierce fangs in front of the Yun Clan.

The puzzled Yun Ji tried to calm the emotions of the blood-eyed frosthoof, but was told by the divine beast that he had accidentally woken up that something big was about to happen, and the biggest hidden danger in the entire Shu Kingdom at present may be hidden on the eighteenth floor of the "ice prison" under the Guang Yuan Courtyard.
