Cheng Yue didn't know that his deeds had been rumored to be miraculous in Pingjing, and many people called him the bold and reckless little devil king, he just took Zhao Yuzi into the city as if nothing happened, and went straight to the pavilion to rest.

However, what is a little surprising is that when Pingjing's post man saw the Donggong seal he presented, not only did he not offer any courtesy, but also found an excuse to flash people quickly, and only sent a subordinate official to entertain him, which was like avoiding the plague.

The attitude of the little official sent by Yi Cheng was also sluggish and tight, although he looked at him a little wary, but still did not give him any good treatment, not only did not assign him a good room, only gave him and Zhao Yuzi an ordinary room each, and there was no free wine and food at all, and claimed that if he wanted to eat and drink, he needed to spend his own money to buy it.

Don't say it, Cheng Yue is used to enjoying good treatment on the way, and this cold reception is really a little uncomfortable, standing in the simple guest room for a long time without saying a word, but in the end, he didn't lose his temper and beat the Yicheng and the little officials, but quietly gave Zhao Yuzi a hundred taels of silver and asked her to buy wine and vegetables.

Of course, this is not to say that Cheng Yue is afraid of the post and the little officials, or that he has any scruples in Pingjing City at the "foot of the Son of Heaven", in fact, he is just very open to the officialdom and the set of whiskers and horses, anyway, it is for nothing to enjoy and respect, it is good or not, it doesn't matter, as long as it does not fall to the point of eating and drinking the northwest wind, he will not take it seriously.

Seeing that he was so "easy to talk", Yi Cheng didn't dare to deceive people too much, Zhao Yuzi took money to buy wine and vegetables, and Yi Cheng took as much as he wanted, neither greedy for Cheng Yue's silver, nor gave him a little discount, a leftist who did things according to the rules.

After listening to Zhao Yuzi's relay, Cheng Yue smiled faintly and did not make any comments, just beckoned Zhao Yuzi to eat together.

After dinner, Zhao Yuzi went back to the room to rest, and a solemn look appeared on Cheng Yue's face, he released the tyrant and asked: "The officials of Pingjing are so cold to me, do they think that I am destined to sit unsteadily in the position of the lord of the East Palace of Yunding?!"

The tyrant sneered and replied, "I'm afraid it's more than that." ”

"What do you say?" Cheng Yue hurriedly asked.

The tyrant did not hide from him, and said directly: "This is not their attitude towards the living at all, but towards the dead." You must know that you are a cultivator, or a talented person with a promising future, even if you can't be the master of the East Palace, you will definitely be a generation of powerhouses who will cultivate for 1,800 years in the future, who eats the bear's heart and leopard gall and dares to offend you? The reason why they dare to give you a cold reception can only show that they have concluded that you have no future at all!"

"But that's not right, those officials on the road also know about the things I do, why do they dare to be courteous to me?" Cheng Yue looked inexplicable.

The tyrant smiled gloomily: "The magistrate is not a Beijing official, whether it is in the well-informed or the mind of the superiors, they are far worse than the Beijing officials, they dare to be courteous to you, not all because of your identity as the lord of the East Palace, but because they think that you must have a bright future in the future, and they want to make a good relationship with you in advance for their own family." ”

"Hey, so that's the case?!" After the tyrant said this, Cheng Yue finally understood, and said with an ugly face: "The Jingguan concluded that I was dead, so I was so cold, and the reason why they dared to make such an assertion must be because the King of the Snow Country has been determined to kill me!"

The tyrant nodded, a teachable expression.

"The Snow King dares to do this, doesn't he really take my Yunshengmen in his eyes?" Cheng Yue said in shock and anger.

The tyrant sighed: "Although the status of Yunshengmen is high, but after all, he is the minister of the Snow Country, and the Snow King dares to kill you, that is, he is gambling that Tianchengzi will not dare to kill the monarch for you, and if the Snow King is not wrong, if Tianchengzi pursues this matter in the future, he only needs to push out a scapegoat to settle the matter, but after all, you are the identity of the next generation of Yunshengmen's head and heir, and the identity of the guy who is the substitute for the Snow King is destined to be low, because otherwise, it is not enough to give Tianchengzi an explanation." ”

The more Cheng Yue listened, the more angry he became, and finally slapped the table and said: "Damn, this Snow King is so good-bellied chicken intestines, didn't I just break his son's two legs?

The corners of the tyrant's mouth twitched when he heard this, as a courtier, he broke the prince's legs and made the royal family lose face, isn't this sin big enough? In fact, if he is the Snow King, and someone dares to do this to his son, he must kill that person and punish the nine clans......

Cheng Yue didn't know what the tyrant was thinking, if he knew, he would definitely press the tyrant to the ground and beat him up, at this time he was worried about tomorrow's things: "Today's pavilion, according to the rules, tomorrow I will go to the palace to face the king, if the guess is good, then the snow king will take advantage of the reason to go crazy and attack me, how should I deal with it?"

The tyrant smiled smugly, Cheng Yue was asking him for advice!

However, he didn't rush to give Cheng Yue advice, but asked Cheng Yue in detail about the current situation of various political forces in the Snow Country, and Cheng Yue naturally knew everything in order to save his life.

After listening to this, the tyrant groaned for a moment and said, "I have a solution, but it is a little not very open. ”

"It doesn't matter!" Cheng Yue waved his hand without thinking about it, "Although bluntly speaking, I don't have any moral cleanliness." ”

"Hmm. The tyrant nodded and whispered in Cheng Yue's ear.

Cheng Yue nodded his head when he heard this, and his eyes lit up: "Wonderful! No wonder Tianchengzi asked me to ask you for a plan, you do have two hits in this kind of messy matter!"

The tyrant was very upset and corrected angrily: "This is a power trick, what do you know?!"

Cheng Yue shrugged his shoulders and didn't get angry with the tyrant.

Next, Cheng Yue asked about the details of the plan again, until he thought about it again and again, and there was nothing missing, so he gave up.

Soon, it was the middle of the night.

At this time, Xiao Qian suddenly came in from outside the door, still holding two misty small light balls in his hands.

"The soul of the man in black?" Cheng Yue asked her.

Xiao Qian bowed his head and handed over the soul and soul of the man in black to Cheng Yue, Cheng Yue didn't talk nonsense, he immediately took out a piece of red rune paper, drew a soul talisman with cinnabar, and lit it under the soul of the man in black.

In an instant, there was a crying call around the entire guest room, which sounded as if a hundred ghosts were crying at night, which was creepy!

But don't worry, this sound is similar to ultrasound, which can only be heard by cultivators with keen divine sense and summoned souls, and ordinary mortals can't hear it at all.

"The Soul is back!"

Cheng Yue let out a low shout, pinched the sword with two fingers, and pointed at the soul and soul of the man in black!

Soon, the outside world reacted, and eight misty small light clusters flew from all directions, passed through the wall, and merged with the soul and spirit, and finally condensed to form the phantom of a middle-aged man.

This phantom has rough facial features, his face is full of horizontal flesh, his physique is burly, and there are a lot of calluses left by holding a knife all year round on his palms, so he is not a good person at first glance!

Cheng Yue briefly glanced at the phantom for a few moments, nodded, and confirmed that this phantom was the leader of the man in black during the day, and he asked coldly, "Say, who are you? Who instructed you to assassinate me?"

Although the phantom regained the appearance of a human being, because the soul had been separated, it was only forcibly put together at this time, and it had lost its seven emotions and six desires and thinking ability, and when he heard the words, he had no sense of concealment at all, and replied with a stiff face: "My name is Zhang Gui, I am a killer, and I take various commissions to beg for a living in Pingjing City on weekdays, half a month ago, Zhou Bolong, the viscount of Yunshan, suddenly called me and gave me a hundred taels of gold, and asked me to help him assassinate a person, and that person is you." ”

"Zhou Bolong?!"

Cheng Yue's eyes flashed, and he stood up from his chair suddenly.

Xiao Qian chuckled beside him and said, "Master, you and he are really enemies, hehehe." ”

Cheng Yue clenched his fists tightly: "It seems that this trip to Pingjing is very necessary to draw an end to this grievance!"

The tyrant didn't know much about the grievances between Cheng Yue and Zhou Bolong, but he was very curious about how loyal this killer was, and asked the killer Zhang Gui: "Since you are not a dead soldier of the Zhou family, why do you want to forbid yourself after being caught? Zhou Bolong's hundred taels of gold are not worth your life, right?"

Zhang Gui replied with blank eyes: "Although Zhou Bolong was severely punished for losing Yuyang, and the title was reduced from marquis to viscount, but because he was a relative, his power in Pingjing was still extremely strong, although I am a killer, but I also have a wife who has a small family, if I don't commit suicide and keep it secret, I am afraid that my family will be poisoned by Zhou Bolong." ”

"I see. The tyrant turned his gaze to Cheng Yue, "There's nothing more to ask." ”

As soon as Cheng Yue waved his hand, Zhang Gui's three souls and seven spirits immediately turned into a streamer, flew out of the window, and disappeared at the end of the western sky.

"Did you send him to Western Elysium?" Xiao Qian asked with some distraction.

Cheng Yue glanced at Xiao Qian and the tyrant, his eyes seemed to be looking at a free strong man, and said with a wicked smile: "I don't know that place is extremely unhappy, I only know that you will never want to go there." ”
