That night, in the main hall of the Demon Palace-

"Twilight still has some personal matters, so I'll leave first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info county lord, several seniors, Brother Liao, Miss Liao, Brother Zhongli, the hospitality is not good, please bear with me. ”

"Where, where, the palace master please. Liao Chen said.

Zhan Duxiao motioned to the two maids to take care of everyone present, and then turned around and walked towards the garden.

Helian Jialu looked at the figure of Zhan Duxiao's departure, recalling the humility and politeness that he pretended to be unfamiliar with at the banquet just now, and couldn't help but smile, Brother Zhan and himself really had a tacit understanding.

Liao Wu looked at Helian Jialu with a smile on his face, his heart jumped, and he blurted out unconsciously:

"County Lord, where are you going in a while?

"I want to take a walk in this garden. Helian Jialu retracted his gaze and said, "Just walk around alone." ”

"Oh......" Liao Wu couldn't hide his lost expression.

"Liao Wu, thank you. You eat slowly. Helian Jialu also got up and left.

"Third brother, I'm afraid that the marriage of the county lord is not up to me. Liao Chen said to Liao Wu.

"Don't comfort me, I know she didn't ...... for that reason"

"Third brother, no matter what, I support you!" Liao Xi said.

"Hmm. Liao Wu smiled indifferently and said to the two maids by the door, "Please trouble the two girls to bring a few more pots of bamboo leaf greens, it's tiring." ”

"Yes. Childe waits. ”

"Okay, now it's all my own people, let's get down to business. Liao Wu closed his eyes and opened them again, as if he had calmed down before speaking.

"So how about I count to three, and let's talk about 'this business' at the same time?" Zhong Liyang Miao said.

"Good. Liao Chen and Liao Wu both responded.

"One, two, three......"

"Xu Zhe!" the three of them said in unison.

"Brother Xu?" Liao Xi repeated puzzled.

"I'm afraid the name may not be true. Chang Yuan, who had not spoken, said.

"Uncle Chang is right, I think so too. Liao Chen explained to Liao Xi, "The county lord of the dignified Ming County Mansion only brought two guards and two maids when he went out, and Yang Miao only brought Lang Du alone, so Xu Zhe and his party are so many people, what kind of identity should he be." How could it be an obscure person?"

"The county lord's cousin...... Could he also be from Helian's family? I heard that the king of the county has a younger sister who married into a lonely country many years ago. Yu Tong guessed.

In this way, Xu Zhe and the county lord are cousins, which makes sense. Qian Ling also said.

"But there's one thing I've never figured out. Xi Zheng said.

"Fourth Uncle Xi, please speak. Liao Chen said.

"The ascension of the new palace master of the Demon Palace is indeed a major event in the rivers and lakes. But why did this matter alarm the palace of Wei Guoming County, and even the county lord himself came here?" Xi Zheng paused, and then continued, "And the county lord came when he came, but why didn't he have a considerable guard of honor?"

"I think there's a possibility. Zhong Li Yang Miao suddenly said, "The county lord is not here for the Demon Palace, at least this is not the main reason. ”

"You mean......" Liao Wu's eyes lit up, and he had already guessed what Zhong Liyang Miao thought.

"Hmm. Zhong Liyang Miao nodded, and said, "The county lord is here because Xu Zhe is here, and Xu Zhe should be an authentic person in the rivers and lakes." ”

"Now the unknown but powerful young man in the rivers and lakes is nothing more than from Moge, Xingtan, Ci'an Temple, Lian Shibuya, and 'Liu'...... Or, Hidden Dust. Liao Chen counted them one by one, "But Xu Zhe, like us, has been heading east since Yaocheng, that is to say, he is most likely to be a person from Moge or Yinchen Xuan." ”

"......" Several people fell silent when they thought of this.

~~~

As soon as Zhan Duxiao returned to the garden, he heard a voice say:

"Brother Twilight, come and see how my chess game is?"

"Keeping you waiting. Zhan Duxiao said as she sat down across from the rut, "This is ......"

"My dad and I have a game that still hasn't been decided. ”

"Count the strange hidden sun and moon, and the machine will start the world. Good chess!" Zhan Duxiao stared at the chessboard and said, "I believe that only when my father is here, can he have the power to break it." What, you're using this game to test my skills?"

"Haha, if you can break this mess in an instant, I don't need to be bored with you. ”

"I've tried it, now it's time to take a few games seriously. You first. ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey.

~~~

Helian Jialu walked slowly on a path on the west side of the main hall of the Demon Palace, stopped in front of a locust tree, closed her eyes, walked around the locust tree for half a circle, and took a deep breath of the fragrance of locust flowers.

"May I ask the girl, but she is from the Demon Palace?" Suddenly, a male voice broke the silence.

"It's not. Helian Jialu's tone was light, obviously blaming the man for ruining his mood to enjoy the flowers.

And this man is Guan Shu, the small pavilion master of Moge. It turned out that at noon, Guan Shu and Tang Yin discussed, and decided that Tang Yin would pick up his sixth brother in Beicheng, while Guan Shu would go to the Demon Palace first to understand the situation.

"It's abrupt and disturbs the girl's Yaxing. Guan Shu seemed to realize Helian Jialu's dissatisfaction, nodded slightly apologetically, and said, "Then I will take my leave." ”

"Wait a minute. Helian Jialu saw that Guan Shu was about to leave, and suddenly subconsciously stopped him and said, "Since you have already disturbed, what are you still in a hurry to leave? ”

"The girl is also a guest of the Demon Palace?"

"Hmm. ”

"In the past few days, many people have gathered here on the rivers and lakes, but I wonder if there are any royal families and princes from all over the world who have sent envoys to congratulate them?"

"Except for the Wei Guo Helian family, I haven't heard of anyone else. Helian Jialu told the truth, but did not reveal his identity.

Guan Shu thought for a moment in his heart, Hengguo Ruihuang Xingyou and Yinchen Xuan have blood and family ties to maintain each other, and the Lonely Kingdom Xuanhuang Yuan Showa and Yinchen Xuan are also in-laws, at this time when Yinchen Xuan is about to face the enemy, at least he will not make a move to fall into the ground, and he will not participate in this dispute. And the Helian family of the Weiguo Kingdom must have come here only for personal relations, and does not represent the position of the emperor. In other words, Emperor Wei Guoxian, Emperor Yi Guojing, and Emperor Tao of the Night Kingdom may secretly mobilize people and horses and wait for an opportunity to move. Guan Shu's speculation was just a momentary matter, but there was no change on his face, and he still maintained a shallow smile and said:

"Thank you, girl. ”

"Just talk about it?" Helian Jialu was a little bored alone, and happened to catch such a person who "it is better to meet by chance", so he didn't want to let him go easily.

In fact, as long as the two reveal their identities, they will find that they should have known each other. Otherwise, how could Guan Shu be so clear about the affairs of Yinchen Xuan, the Hengguo Royal Family, the Lonely Kingdom Royal Family, and the Weiguo Helian Family. But neither side had that intention.

"Does the girl like locust flowers very much?" Guan Shu asked, glancing up at the locust tree.

"yes, it's my favorite flower. ”

"Well, I'll give the girl a gift. Before Guan Shu's words fell, he jumped lightly and landed on a side branch of the locust tree.

"What are you going to do?"

Guan Shu smiled and didn't speak, but his right hand quickly slapped out and hit another branch in front of him. In an instant, the locust flowers on the branches of the tree shook down, and one by one, petals floated out, swirling lightly in the air, and slowly falling.

Helian Jialu was bathed in the rain of flowers, and immediately happily stretched out her hand, caught a few petals, and at the same time spun under her feet, and spun in place.

Guan Shu looked at Helian Jialu's smile on the branches, and unconsciously felt a little stupid.

At that time, the candlelight in the garden of silence was still on. Chan'er pushed open the window and looked in the direction of the gate of the Silent Garden, but there was still no blockage, so she shook her head and whispered to herself:

"When Brother Zhe plays chess, he will lose track of time. ”

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed into the Silent Garden, and his figure was swift. Chan'er was shocked, and before she could move her steps, she saw a person rushing out of the room on the right to greet her. The two of them converged in an instant, their scabbards colliding, and they took a step back at the same time.

"Stop. Chan'er hurriedly stepped out of the house and ran to the two of them.

"Second Miss. ”

"Miss Chan'er. ”

The two screamed almost at the same time, and then looked at each other again.

"Brother Lonely, this is Jinsha, our friend. Jinsha, this is the owner of this Lonely Garden, Lonely Ling, he knows the identity of his brother. ”

"Brother Lonely, I was offended just now. Excuse me. ”

"Since you are a friend of the second lady, you are a friend of Lonely, what can you say to offend each other? Second miss, I'll go to the eldest brother to sit down, and you can talk. Lonely Ling knew that there was no important thing for Jinsha to come so late, so she took the initiative to retreat.

"Miss Chan'er, isn't Childe here?"

"Brother Zhe went to the palace master to play chess. Is there anything urgent?"

"There are a lot of fish and dragons in this shell city, I want to tell Childe as soon as possible, so that we can prepare in advance. ”

"I don't think he'll be back for a while...... Why don't I go to the garden and inform him. You can wait here. ”

"Yes. Thank you, Miss Chan'er. ”

~~~

In the garden, Zhan Duxiao and Blocking Ruts are in full swing, and the two of them each won a game, but the third game has not been known for a long time.

The rut was twisting up a chess piece, and I didn't know where to land, and suddenly heard a person:

"There's still room in the middle, so why prefer the side?"

"Not bad. No wonder they all say that the authorities are fascinated and the bystanders are clear. That's where I landed. Twilight, how's that?"

"I didn't expect that your sister is also a chess person. Zhan Duxiao said with a smile.

"I'm sorry for messing up your game. Chan'er smiled, looked at the rut and said, "Brother, Jinsha has something to look for you." ”

"Oh, ......" Plug Ruts and Zhan Dusk glanced at each other.

"It's a long time coming. I made a note of this game. Zhan Duxiao said knowingly.

"That's not necessary, let Chan'er accompany you to finish this game. ”

"Hibiscus is in the Garden of Silence. We're so embarrassed to be so noisy. Chan'er took the plugging look and nodded.

"Hehe, then I'll go back first. ”

"Hmm. Zhan Duxiao answered, watched the rut walk out of the door, and looked at Chan'er again, "Come, sit." ”

"Brother Zhan's chess skills are extraordinary, Chan'er is a little afraid to confront you. ”

"Ghost girl...... Well, if you lose, I'll make amends for you a wish. ”

"What if I win?"

"I make you three wishes. ”

"So, a tie is two, right?"

"Haha, good!"

"Then let's move on. Chan'er smiled slyly and sat opposite Zhan Duxiao.

"I'll get down here here, what do you think?"

"You're striking at each other, using one trick for two purposes. It's a clever move. Chan'er said sincerely.

Zhan Duxiao looked at Chan'er quietly, Chan'er stared at the chessboard for a moment, and suddenly spoke again:

"It's a good trick, but it's not a coincidence, but it's what my uncle used to do. I have a lot of experience with this kind of play. After finishing speaking, a son has been left behind.

The "uncle" in Chan'er's mouth is subconsciously said and refers to the original meaning. However, Zhan Duxiao didn't pay much attention to this sentence, and his energy was already focused on the chess pieces that Chan'er had fallen, otherwise he would have wondered where the brother came from.

"It's a good move, and at first glance it cuts off all my back roads. It's not simple. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. But I don't think it's going to be too hard for you. ”

"Then let's go here. ”

~~~

He walked into the Silent Garden, stopped Jinsha, who was about to salute, and said to him:

"Inside sat down and said. ”

Then he walked into the room and sat down at a round table.

"How's it going in town?"

"It's not good, everyone is on the move. Last night and today alone, five big and small things happened. Jin Xu said, frowned, and hurriedly explained the situation in the city carefully.

"Juxu Village and Taiwumen have always had no room for relaxation with us, and they will probably try their best to deal with us. Moge and Ci'an Temple, and even Dongshan Zhongli Garden, I am not too worried. As for the Star Altar and Renshibuya, we have never had any contact with them. Even if your sworn brother is not an enemy of us, he is only a master of the seven valleys, and he cannot be the master of Shibuya...... Maybe there are other people who will also arrive in the near future, such as the old guy's subordinates of Emperor Yi Guojing, or the organization 'flow' that seems to be shrouded in fog. ”

"Childe, what about Orange Flame Villa?"

“…… I'm not sure. He was silent for a long time before he sighed. Even if Liao Chen and Liao Wu intend to make friends with him, they are afraid that the four of Chang may not agree. The four of them are nominally the descendants of Orange Flame Villa, but it is rumored that they have a lifelong friendship with the owner of the village, Liao Wei, not to mention, if they were already shown by Liao Wei to compete for the treasure map.
