Chu Feng suddenly found that Bing Zhiqi had also changed a lot, and he was no longer the Bing Zhiqi he knew, and the only Bing Zhiqi had already died in the hands of time.

Ten years after a farewell seems to have changed a lot of people, and even more changed a lot of things.

Liwan seemed to sense what Chu Feng was thinking, and said with a slight smile: "Ah Qi has indeed changed a lot over the years, but he still remembers the help you once gave him. ”

After the change of Wanqi Mountain, Lishui and the Ning Han Sect became more closely connected, and Lijuan and Bing Zhiqi had a very good personal relationship, which was something that the entire Northern Plains knew.

Chu Feng nodded slightly, but was a little noncommittal.

The convoy from the water walked slowly along the mountain road, and followed the convoy of the Ning Han Sect into a mountain, which was the top of the mountain used by Huai Mountain to receive guests, all the utensils were readily available, and even the fresh melons and fruits on the table were melons and fruits with strange medicinal effects, which fully demonstrated the heritage of Huai Mountain.

The convoy from Lishui arrived at the courtyard assigned to Lishui by Huaishan, and everyone got out of the car, and Lihuan began to check the rooms for assignment.

After Liruoshui defected, the affairs of the entire Lishui clan were taken over by Lilan's sister Lihuan.

Lihuan is delicate and has a calm personality, although he has just taken over the affairs of Lishui, but he also handles it in an orderly manner, as if he is an old housekeeper who has been in business for many years.

Lilan and Liwan also got off the frame, leaving Chu Feng in the frame to avoid direct contact with Bing Zhiqi.

Lilan bowed to Bing Zhiqi and said, "Thank you for your righteous words." ”

Bing Zhiqi turned sideways and did not accept Lilan's salute, and returned the full salute before saying: "Seniors don't have to be polite, after all, the three veins of the Northern Plains are both prosperous and one is lost, and if Lishui is insulted, Ning Hanjiao's face is not good-looking, so it is necessary to advance and retreat together." ”

Bing Zhiqi's way of speaking made Chu Feng feel a little awkward, thinking that he was probably more accustomed to that submissive young man.

Lilan exchanged a few more words with Bing Zhiqi, and Bing Zhiqi said goodbye and left, and Chu Feng dared to leave the carriage and entered the courtyard of Lishui.

The courtyard divided by Lishui is also very large, and it is more than enough to fully accommodate more than 20 people from Lishui.

Chu Feng and Liwan's room was also deliberately moved together by Lilan, living with the young disciples.

However, most of these disciples are girls, and the elders are still girlish, and once they get together, they are chattering, as if there is an endless topic, leaving Chu Feng and a man a little embarrassed to hang aside.

But Chu Feng was also very accustomed to being alone, and did not feel anything wrong, and after a stroll in the courtyard, he stopped in a garden, sat down under the gazebo, took out a book, and began to read it in the sunlight.

The books Chu Feng read were some miscellaneous notes, recording some strange stories, which may not be beneficial on the path of cultivation, but they are excellent for pastime.

Especially now, Chu Feng didn't have the heart to look at something very esoteric, because there was a huge problem in front of him.

Chu Feng quickly browsed the miscellaneous notes in his hand, but his mind was a little erratic, thinking about tomorrow's wedding, what should he do to help Xiao Yuehuan as much as possible.

When Chu Feng came back to his senses, he realized that he was still looking at the page where he opened the book, and the book was taken down.

Chu Feng smiled helplessly, sighed, closed the page abruptly, stood up, but saw a man coming on the path of the garden in front of him.

Chu Feng's expression suddenly tightened, and he clenched his fists with some caution, but the man squinted and laughed, approached unhurriedly, and then sat down opposite Chu Feng.

"We meet again. Sima Lang said with a smile, "It's only been a little more than a year since the last goodbye, and I'm still wondering when the next time I see you." ”

Chu Feng looked at Sima Lang, a little nervous, but he didn't want to show it, but calmly got up and saluted: "The junior has seen Senior Sima. ”

Sima Lang looked at Chu Feng with a bit of sneering in his expression, and said, "How many people do you think you can hide?"

Chu Feng frowned slightly, and said, "The juniors don't know what the seniors mean. ”

Sima Lang stroked his palm and smiled, "Actually, you don't have to be so nervous, because I won't poke out your identity, and I know what you're here for." ”

Chu Feng finally changed color slightly, frowning and looking at Sima Lang, but Sima Lang had already smiled and said, "Who do you think I am?"

Chu Feng took a deep breath before lowering his voice and saying, "The senior is the servant of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace. ”

"Everyone thinks I'm from the Ten Thousand Demon Palace. Sima Lang pursed his lips slightly, "But that's just one of my identities." ”

Chu Feng's expression finally changed dramatically, and he looked at Sima Lang with some incredulity, and said, "Who are you?"

"Then I can't tell you. Sima paused before continuing, "And it doesn't matter who I am. ”

"It's important. Chu Feng replied.

"Do you think that once you know a person's true identity, you can roughly guess his purpose and what he wants to do, so that he can consider his own further measures?" Sima Lang shook his head slightly, looking a little regretful, "If it is just an ordinary situation, it is true, but now I am just a pawn in the overall situation, at the mercy of others, and my knowledge is limited, so even if you know my true identity, in fact, you can't change anything." ”

Chu Feng looked at Sima Lang, his expression finally gradually regained his calm, he was silent for a moment before he said, "You're right. ”

"You're wondering what I'm looking for you for, but I think you won't believe the answer I'm going to tell you. Sima Lang continued.

Chu Feng thought for a moment, and then said, "It's just what you think." ”

Sima Lang was slightly stunned, and then laughed out loud and said, "That's right, it's just what I think." ”

Then Sima Lang paused and continued, "Have you ever considered why the Ten Thousand Demon Palace is so eager to expand its power. ”

Chu Feng couldn't help frowning slightly, expanding his power would get a larger territory, and he would also get more resources, which would help the various powerhouses in the force break through, and even enter the realm of the Great Emperor.

Although this is an era when the Great Emperor is no longer born, it does not prevent people from having such thoughts.

But if you think about it, you will find that such a simple idea may not really stand up to scrutiny.

That idea can be established on the basis that the powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace have extremely strong ambitions and the strength to break through.

However, the powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace may not really have the potential to break through - not to mention, the original power of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace has spread all over the six central and southern states, and the resources they have have far exceeded the needs.

Moreover, judging from the current development of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace's forces in the firmament, it has not received actual benefits, and it has consumed considerable energy to support Qingliujian first, and it has lost a lot of manpower when it confronts some forces head-on, including many masters.

And Huaishan was able to cooperate peacefully with the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, and the Ten Thousand Demon Palace must have made some concessions at the level of interests.

Judging from the situation of the entire dome, the Ten Thousand Demon Palace did not get any substantial benefits, but paid a considerable price.

And further invasion of the Northern Plains or even Suchuan may not have any expected benefits - in other words, the benefits that will be obtained from the expansion of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace are not predictable, nor are they benefits in the conventional sense, but something else.

Chu Feng's expression was shocked, and then he looked at Sima Lang and said nothing.

He thought of a possibility, in this era, what many forces and sects are doing - serving the emperor.

As a force that has stood in the demon world for so many years, the Ten Thousand Demon Palace is naturally not a inheritance without a great emperor.

In fact, there are only three emperors who have come out of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, and there are only three records that can be found, and the joint efforts of the three emperors have managed the Ten Thousand Demon Palace to the point where it is today.

But these three emperors have also died for tens of thousands of years, and the most recent one has also been dead for more than 7,000 years.

And since the appearance of the Great Emperor, the Ten Thousand Demon Palace has never shown the appearance of being manipulated by the Great Emperor behind his back, as if their three Great Emperors have really died.

But Chu Feng didn't believe it, because although he didn't know what the longevity of the emperors was, why some people seemed to have an infinite lifespan, and some people would die, but as long as they were intentional and did not encounter a powerful opponent, any emperor would probably be able to live for a long time, at least the emperor more than 7,000 years ago might have lived to the present.

Chu Feng looked at Sima Lang silently, knowing that if he really thought the same as himself, then Sima Lang must also serve a certain emperor, and this emperor obviously did not want the affairs of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace to succeed.

Sima Lang was under Chu Feng's gaze, but he seemed very calm, and he didn't seem to take Chu Feng's gaze in his eyes at all. He looked at his fingers slowly, and then said at an extremely slow pace, "Do you really want to know why I'm telling you this?"

Chu Feng looked at Sima Lang and didn't speak, but was thinking very seriously about why Sima Lang found him.

Sima Lang will find himself, and it will definitely not be accidental.

In this world, accidental things don't have such a purpose, and then he remembered a lot of things, and was silent for a long time before saying: "Actually, I've been thinking about why I can't return to get drunk and stop me on the road after I leave Huaishan, and tell me something." ”

"Drunk and not returning?" Sima Lang was slightly stunned, looking a little dazed.

Chu Feng was also stunned, Sima Lang's expression didn't look like a fake—not to mention, Sima Lang had already told him about such a field, and it would have no effect to pretend that he didn't know him and didn't return.

Could it be that Sima Lang really doesn't know that he is drunk and does not return?
