All the people in the temple looked subtle.

"It's ...... Gu Xiaoyu?"

I can't even believe it.

Is this still the Gu Xiaoyu I saw in front of the gate of Shushan Mountain?

The hall was silent.

"It's very big in the palace, don't run around next time, be careful to get lost again. ”

Xu Qingyan just nodded like this, so most people suddenly ...... It turned out that there were no beggars with horses tied to the stables at all, only "noble sons" who accidentally got lost in the palace.

"Thank you, teacher...... Sister Xu. Gu Xiaoyu smiled sweetly.

Xu Qingyan waved his hand and walked to the seat with a smile, so far, most of the people who were invited to participate in the palace banquet of the many holy mountains of the three divisions and six departments have almost arrived.

And near the position of chief, there are still some vacancies.

"Gongsun Yue is not coming?" Ning Yi narrowed his eyes and saw an empty seat, which was transmitted to Yun Xuna not far away.

"I was declared sick a few days ago. Yun Xun picked up the teacup and took a sip, "This old fox is very cunning, I guess he smelled something." ”

At tonight's palace banquet, the real protagonist has not yet appeared......

Ning Yi's mood was not as relaxed as it seemed, the senior brother's seat was empty, if he didn't guess wrong, Shen Yuanjun and Qianqijun were invited to the palace this afternoon.

Hai Gonggong's voice rang out again.

"Your Highness to—"

The crowd's expressions tensed.

The time is approaching, and the palace banquet will be held.

The palace maid entered the palace, supported the screen and vertical fan, and the prince entered the palace, and it was not only the prince who entered the palace...... It's a line.

Jiuquanzi and Haigonggong are each around the prince.

And followed, Shen Yuanjun, Qianqian Jun, Gu Qian, Zhang Junling, Cao Ran.

Shen Yuanjun cast a "safe and sound" glance at Ning Yi.

Ning Yi breathed a sigh of relief, probably guessed that today's senior brother entering the palace should be to "chat" with these people, there is a "bloody night in the sky", the prince's night banquet hall is only escorted by Jiuquanzi, and the nirvana of other holy mountains is not allowed to enter, which can be regarded as a kind of sincerity.

And Gu Qian and Zhang Junling's entry into the palace, Ning Yi was not surprised.

Gu Qian is now a hot figure in Tiandu, symbolizing Li Changshou of Xiling Sanqing Pavilion, which can be regarded as the prince's extended "arm", and Gu Qian is now an upstart who is about to take over the judicial power of Tiandu City.

Kunhailou stood in front of the world step by step, and the prince took advantage of several wonderful opportunities to package this institution above board...... On the basis of reason, Mr. Yuan Chun passed away, the Lotus Pavilion had no owner, Zhang Jun ordered the south to return to the capital, in order to build Kunhailou to cultivate and recuperate, and on the legal principle, Kunhailou continued to absorb the talents of Tiandu, and continued to grow, with the name of "Lotus Pavilion", began to cross the old moment, trying to establish a new system.

And to Ning Yi's surprise.

It was Cao Ran's appearance - Cao Ran was a well-known martial artist in the northern realm, and in the face of Mr. Yuan Chun's invitation to accept apprentices, he should not be stranded, and he was determined to give an answer after separating the victory and defeat with Ye Hongfu, if you want to talk about identity...... Judging from Cao Ran's encounter in the north, the purple lotus flower has a "master and apprentice" for him.

As for the "name of master and apprentice", after Cao Ran made an appointment with Ye Hongfu in the Sword Xinghou Mansion, the follow-up contact with Mr. Yuan Chun will not be known to the world.

Cao Ran was dressed in a fiery red robe as he had done four years ago, and flames were constantly spilling from the edges of the robe, which was quite similar to the wildfire aura on Shen Yuanjun's body, but his eyes changed, and looking at him was like looking up at a heavy mountain.

Cao Ran, who used to be had the breath of a lone wolf.

Although lonely, but uninhibited, the edge still exists, but it has become more stable.

In the past few years, Cao Ran has not disappeared, and the battle with Ye Hongfu has been postponed because of the strong tide...... It is said that the two fought again after breaking the fate star and completed the gambling contract of the year, but the victory or defeat was not known to the world, and Cao Ran was still wandering in the north after that, and no one knew his traces.

This time he returned to Tiandu, but it was also quiet.

Cao Ran's appearance was an accident.

Not only Ning Yi, but Li Changshou's expression was also a little stunned, obviously unexpected.

The man in the fiery red robe, with a white jade rope tied around his neck, the hat was taken off and put behind his head, and with the light breeze in the hall swaying, when he passed by Ning Yi, he winked at Ning Yi and showed a friendly smile.

Ning Yi also smiled at Cao Ran, but at the moment of looking at each other, he seemed to see a flash of fire jumping, at the center of Cao Ran's forehead and eyebrows...... A vague outline seems to be outlined.

The prince was seated, and the hall was quiet.

The senior brother sat near the high position, looking calm, and sat down with Qianzhen...... Ning Yi didn't have time to ask what was going on, only to hear the prince's laughter coming from the hall.

"In the battle of Tianhailou, the Great Wall of the North won a big victory, broke through Fengming Mountain, and hit Mustard Mountain, all thanks to the General's Mansion. ”

"Tonight's banquet is to wash the dust for Shen Yuanjun and drink the fruits together. ”

Li Baijiao raised his wine glass, looked at the hall, his voice was calm and powerful, and said, "All the gentlemen drink together!"

Gonggong Hai lowered his voice and said, "Welcome the general back to the capital——"

The whole hall resounded with a neat echo of voices.

"Welcome the general back to the capital—"

"Welcome the general back to the capital—"

Ning Yi raised his wine glass in the noise, his expression was calm, and he drank it all.

Xuanjing, who was sitting next to Gu Xiaoyu, after the little guy took a seat, the two of them lowered their voices and chatted happily, after the palace banquet began, Xuanjing looked at the man who was wearing a big hat on the high seat and raised a glass alone, she poked Gu Xiaoyu's elbow and said, "The general is so handsome." ”

Gu Xiaoyu has seen Shen Yuanjun a few times.

Earlier in the battle of Tianhailou, Shu Mountain poured out, the Great Wall of the North returned victoriously, the general at that time returned to the city, like a god, took off a scale of the White Emperor, and showed the victory to the cultivators of the entire Great Wall of the North, he will never forget the picture of that day - tens of millions of people, tens of millions of swords, all shouted together, all trembled, shouted out the three words of the general.

"yes...... It's so handsome. The little guy said this in a daze, and hurriedly patted his ass and said, "But my uncle is also very handsome." ”

Xuanjing scoffed and rolled his eyes at Ning Yi.

It's just that Ning Yi drank wine by herself and ignored the little girl.

His expression was a little gloomy.

"Shen Yuanjun entered the palace in the afternoon, Gu Qian and Zhang Junling accompanied him, and Cao Ran was also ...... This information was not received by the Intelligence Division. Yun Xun continued to whisper, "The supervision force in the palace has been completely evacuated, and the prince's liquidation this time is very strong, and it is likely that Li Changshou did it." Now the Intelligence Department is no longer able to monitor the Palace. ”

Has it completely lost ground?

Ning Yi glanced at Li Changshou, Xiao Ge Lao kept toasting with the people around him, and seemed to have a good conversation with Shu Xinjun.

The feast resumed, and the hall became lively.

Everyone drank and talked freely, the palace maid carried the jade fish in, cutting in and out like flowing water, this feast began, the prince also lost the sense of distance in the past, and the "relaxed posture" was close

From time to time there was laughter, and the silk string instruments of the hall sounded, dancing music, bells and drums.

After the night banquet kicked off, it was not as serious as Ning Yi thought.

Gu Xiaoyu stupidly sandwiched a piece of pork knuckle to Xuanjing, and the little girl of Xuanjing brought all the plates of pork knuckles to the little guy's jade case with disgust.

Ning Yi glanced at the palace, approaching the position of the crown prince, what was the senior brother and Jiuquanzi talking about, he couldn't hear it clearly...... If there is nirvana, it will not be able to transmit the sound into the secret, and it will inevitably be discovered.

For a moment, Ning Yi had an illusion.

This night banquet is a simple night banquet, with no swords and swords, no intrigues.

It's a pity...... It's really just an illusion.

When the banquet was not long, the prince clapped his hands lightly, smiled on his face, and said, "Gentlemen, this palace banquet, this palace wants to announce a good news——"

"The Lotus Pavilion has been vacant for a long time, and now it has a new owner. ”

Li Changshou, who was toasting with others, smiled slightly, and the colleagues beside him and the officials in the hall all followed the prince's words.

When the prince approached, the young man surrounded by flames sat quietly, not speaking to anyone, but not out of place, he was like a quiet and beating fire, holding up a corner of light in the hall...... It wasn't until the extremely sensitive word of the new master of the Lotus Pavilion appeared that he slowly raised his head.

Li Changshou knew why Cao Ran appeared.

Ning Yi understood what the outline of the fire on Cao Ran's forehead was before.

Cao Ran slowly stood up, which can be regarded as an appearance.

His robe burned with a gentle flame, and at this moment a faint flame jumped up, jumped into the center of his eyebrows, like a fish into the abyss, splashed a pool of grand fire, and finally burned into a crimson red lotus.

The original lively atmosphere of the main hall suddenly became a little quiet at this moment-

What does the new owner of the Lotus Pavilion mean?

Imply...... This is the future second-in-command of Tiandu, in the long history of the past, the Lotus Pavilion Lord has been as the assistant of the monarch, enjoying extremely high power.

The prince's voice was still calm, and he said, "Before the teacher left, he told me that the position of the master of the Lotus Pavilion can be vacant, but the pavilion cannot be empty...... And the person appointed is Mr. Cao Ran, the little candle dragon. ”

His voice is not loud, his speed is not fast, and he gives people a very stable feeling.

"After today, the formation, infrastructure, and classics of the Lotus Pavilion will all be handed over to Mr. Cao Ran...... It's just that the time is different, I have been chatting with Mr. Cao Ran for a long time, and he has no intention of interfering in miscellaneous affairs. ”

Zhang Junling got up slowly, Mu Ran nodded, he could be regarded as having seen it.

Everyone is no stranger to this Kunhai Cave Heavenly Descendant.

Decentralization...... This is through Mr. Yuan Chun's Lotus Pavilion, which began to differentiate the tradition and gave Kunhailou the name of truly standing on the stage.

In a trance, Ning Yi saw Cao Ran, who was sitting slowly in the hall, took a bite of the wild fruit, and grinned to himself not so restrained.

And at this moment, Ning Yi finally understood what Cao Ran's smile meant.

That guy clearly wanted to tell himself.

He is still the martial artist who cultivates in the north, but he comes to Tiandu to be the master of the Lotus Pavilion, he is a person who reads the library pavilion, practices boxing, and leaves when he wants, and does not stick to the leaves.

......

......

(Yesterday was Kavin, sorry sorry, I made it up today.) There is more in the evening. ）
