In the past August, in addition to witnessing Tuoba Yabu's appearance in the "stream" of the Night Country, there is also a party of people who have their whereabouts in control - this is Xiuyuan, the second prince of the former Yi Kingdom, and the second princess Sun Chuchu and others who live in seclusion on the northern border of the Night Country.

Since the destruction of the Yi Kingdom, the two of them, Princess Jing, the mother of Sun Zuo, and a group of relatives have temporarily lived in this area that was once the territory of the Heng State and is under the jurisdiction of the country tonight, under the protection of the guards, bordering the southern border of the Tuoba family. As a new neighbor, Xiuyuan naturally silently paid attention to Tuoba Yabu's unusual move to enter the Night Country.

After confirming that Tuoba Yabu's trip had nothing to do with him, Xiuyuan did not focus too much on Tuoba Jia. At the same time, there happened to be another thing that attracted attention, and this incident occupied all of Xiuyuan's energy in an instant.

The incident originated two days ago, when Sun Chuchu's uncle and his men were hunting, they inadvertently fell into a collapsed cave, and explored the cave deeply, tossing and turning, and saw a suddenly open world, and behind the secret door opposite, I don't know what kind of secret was hidden.

After two days of investigation, the guards reported that the underground here is a low-lying landform, and there seems to be a trap outside the cave, which is difficult for non-proficient warlocks to get a glimpse of. And judging from the handwriting and patterns on the secret door, the things in the cave are not unrelated to the royal family of Hengguo, and this cave is the treasure of Prince Su who stirred the rivers and lakes in the past!

Once the treasure is in hand, it will be easy to restore the country. After Xiu Yuan consulted with the people close to him, he began to secretly gather capable warlocks, trying to find a way to open the secret door and enter the treasure, but he didn't want to make no progress for a long time.

Xiu Yuan, who was still in excitement at the moment, and his guards didn't notice it, and everyone went in and out of the cave several times in the past two days, and their surprised and happy expressions were all in the eyes of a mysterious woman. The woman looked at this group of uninvited guests from afar, and a smile couldn't help but condense on her lips, and in the blink of an eye, her figure disappeared.

Tuoba Yabu and Zhan Duxiao returned to the country of Nan, and told Guan Shu about what happened in the country of night, and immediately agreed that Guan Shu would go to Lian Shibuya again to take care of Chan'er. At this moment, Tang Yin was the only one among the brothers in Moge, and in order to make up for the previous failure, Tang Yin went with Guan Shu.

"The Zhan Palace Lord said that the third brother and the sixth brother are in the Le Qi Hou Mansion, what's going on?" Tang Yin asked.

"It should be a long time. Why, haven't they contacted you?" Guan Shu asked rhetorically.

"The connection is there...... But it's all a short answer. The third brother seems to have been injured again, but he didn't say a word about the specific situation. ”

Zhan Duxiao didn't mention much. If you want to know what's going on in the Night Country, just ask Chan'er when you meet. ”

"That's all there is to it. ”

In the Night Kingdom, even in Shibuya, Xue Feng and Chan'er were talking about the same thing.

"After you returned from Liancheng, the atmosphere in the valley seems to be very delicate. Xue Feng said.

"Is there anything wrong?" asked Chan'er.

"Originally, I heard that the 'Three Killers' would come back this time, but according to my observation, Bai Chun is still the only one in the valley. The valley master is getting deeper and simpler, and it is rare to see. There is also the Lord of the Seven Valleys, whose restless temperament in the past seems to have been reversed, but people are not used to it. ”

"Big brother is still so sharp. Chan'er paused and said, "There's a reason for that." ”

"How many murders are related to Liancheng?"

"Sort of. I met Zhang Yu and Hua Wangqiu in 'Three Killers' in Liancheng. Because the murder involved the dart master under the master of the Zhaoxu Dart Bureau Xin Second Bureau, the two still have something to do. ”

"What's going on with the Qugu Lord?"

"One of his confidants died in Liufeng Building, and he was always sad in his heart. New hatred and old hatred must be liquidated with the 'flow'. I think this time is the calm before the storm. ”

"I didn't bother asking...... At such an uneasy time, why did you drive away Shen Xiao and the two of them?" Xue Feng saw that Chan'er didn't make a sound, so he said again, "Shen Xiao's skills are better than mine, wouldn't it be more reassuring if you stayed?"

"Only in this way can everyone be safe...... Chan'er said softly, "but every time the bell rings reminds me that there are things that can be treated as if they never happened." ”

"If it hurts you, I won't ask any more questions. ”

"Let's talk about the Lord of the Seven Grains. Chan'er took the opportunity to change the topic and said, "Hide the fact that I can still use internal force through the bell, this idea was the master of the seven valleys." ”

"He helped you deceive the Qugu Lord. Xue Feng was quite surprised.

"Because compared to the Qugu Lord, compared to the Three Valleys Lord Ningyan, he is the most knowledgeable person in the entire Shibuya. Big brother, can you imagine his identity?"

Xue Feng couldn't guess for a while, only shook his head and didn't answer.

"His father was the general of the former Yi Kingdom, and his grandmother was my maternal grandmother's senior sister Ba Xue. Chan'er then said.

"You mean, the Lord of the Seven Grains is a member of the Water Family?"

"Yes, he is the only heir of the Shui family, Shui Ci. ”

A few days later, Guan Shu relied on the memories of the previous time he came and the guidance of the little worm, and led Tang Yin into the deep mountains of Lian Shibuya. Walking through the valley and trees, halfway through, the two unexpectedly met Shui Ci who returned from Dongzi Peak.

In the past, he was in the Demon Palace, so Shui Ci quickly recognized Guan Shu, the little pavilion master of the Moge Pavilion. Shui Ci knew the intentions of these two people, so he didn't show any hostility, just stood quietly in place, and looked at the flat bottle that looked like a snuffbox in Guan Shu's hand.

Guan Shu also recognized Shui Ci in an instant, that is, Tian Qianli back then. Now that he has some understanding of Shui Ci's life experience, Guan Shu unconsciously has a close meaning to Shui Ci, and first said:

"This 'stepping on the snow without a trace' was taught by Ba Xue's predecessors, and in front of the water boy, there is a lot of trickery. ”

Brother Guan seems to be handy with this, which makes me feel a little emotional. Shui Ci's voice revealed a bit of nostalgia and said.

"Even Shibuya has a lot of exotic flowers and plants, and it should be a pleasure for them. ”

"I feed them with sixteen kinds of medicinal Xuening pills, and these little ones are indeed blessed. How's it going on your end?"

"I didn't know how to feed with the concocted medicine, so I just took the black mandala, and they were quite happy with it. ”

"He is worthy of being the little pavilion master of the Moge Pavilion, and his shot is quite generous. I have a heart. Shui Ci paused for a moment, then said with a clear expression, "Black Mandala...... No wonder you always find Chan'er. ”

"yes. Guan Shu understood that Shui Ci had seen through the mystery, so he nodded.

The reason why Shui Ci reacted quickly was also because he had a similar experience, and he had prepared decoction for Qu Hanyan and Meng Ben, which changed the appearance of the two.

"If I had a black mandala at hand, it would have been much easier for my eldest brother and second brother to change their appearance. Shui Ci said this, and there was no trace of difficulty in his expression, which shows the subtlety of the Shui family's medical skills.

"When we came, we heard that the affairs of the Qu family are no longer a secret, and the identity of the Qu Valley Lord cannot be concealed. Tang Yin said.

"Since I can't keep this secret, I can only make a direct decision. Over the years, even Shibuya has been ready to give it a go when the time is right. ”

"If the war burns to Shibuya, it will inevitably endanger Chan'er, this time we just don't want the crisis of Liancheng to repeat, I will stay longer, please forgive me. Guan Shu said.

"You and Chan'er are brother and sister, it doesn't matter if the eldest brother is there. Shui Ci's mind flashed the figure of Zhan Duxiao, and then shook off this picture, and said, "I'm worried that she has no one to take care of her in the chaos, and now with you, I can relax a little." But you have to be careful of the people of the Yuan family. ”

"Well, I know. ”

Since the Yuan brothers moved back to the Night Country, it was inevitable that there would be more contacts between several people and Jiang Yanpei.

After all, the Yuan family had the strength to stand alone in the rivers and lakes because of the martial arts cheats given by Emperor Tao and Jiang Yanpei, so Jiang Yanpei took advantage of the situation to evoke the friendship of fighting side by side with the Yuan family in the past, and proposed to urge Emperor Luo and Nanying to release their hatred on the grounds that Yuan Sanxiang, Yuan Wuzhen, and Yuan Liujie could not protect Nanying for a lifetime, and took the opportunity to win over the three of them for their own use.

It was the end of September when the news spread.

In the past two months, Shibuya has assigned personnel to contact the Zhaoxu Dart Bureau, the Demon Palace, and the Orange Flame Villa to discuss the matter of joining forces against the enemy, and the plan has become more and more perfect, and the situation has gradually matured.

By October, all walks of life were basically in place, with Hua Wangqiu and Zhang Yu as the intermediate dispatch, and Zhaoxu Dart Bureau and Qi Demon Palace sent masters to point directly at the night capital, and united Qu Hanyan to fight against "Liu" and Jiang Yanpei, so as to bring down the Luohuang regime;

The war was about to break out, the night country was in chaos, and Emperor Luo urgently dispatched many troops, and even Shibuya was no longer a safe place. When the trend of the prairie fire had not yet formed, Qu Hanyan personally made arrangements for Chan'er.

"This time, the second brother and the seventh brother walked with me, and Yuehuai and the fifth brother had another battlefield. Even the people Shibuya was able to send out, and I was transferred away. With the determination that there was no way out, I gathered a ragtag army of 100,000 men and fought them to the death at night. But in case they send someone to attack the rear, it would be better for you and King Fu to move temporarily. Qu Hanyan said to Chan'er.

"Is there a place in the Night Country where there is no danger of war?" Chan'er said.

"To the west of Shibuya, near the border of Hengguo, it is still a quiet place. I instructed Ning Yan and Yin Yin to make preparations so that King Fu could be placed there. She will also take care of everything along the way. ”

"What about me?"

"You, Xue Indigo, and Guan Shu, go back to the country first. ”

"Even the north of the city is under the eyes of Emperor Liu, how can we go back at this time. ”

"Let Bai Chun follow you, he has been assassinating and wandering around the night capital for many years, and he has the ability to lead you to a path. ”

"Why bother like this, can't I just be with Uncle Sanhuang?"

"I don't want you to slip away when I let you go, and you are reluctant to leave when I let you go home?" Qu Hanyan smiled and said.

"You know I didn't mean that. Chan'er is immune to Qu Hanyan's jokes.

Qu Hanyan immediately put away his smile and said:

"Jiang Yanpei and 'Liu' may not pay attention to King Fu, and you are the one they are determined to win, and you are the only one who has the potential to influence the situation. And they wouldn't have thought that you would do the opposite and walk away from under their noses. ”

"Okay, then we'll leave tomorrow. ”

"Hmm. When this is settled, I will discuss the rest of the issues with you. Qu Hanyan paused, and then said, "Need me to help you...... Do you want to have a word with Zhan Duxiao?"

Chan'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she settled down, and then said:

"Be safe. I'll wait for him. ”

"Got it. Qu Hanyan said, turned his back, hid his expression, and said, "You watch out for yourself." ”

"Well, take care. You're going to get it. ”

Qu Hanyan turned his back to Chan'er, an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he didn't say anything more, waved his hand and strode away.
