The old man in black took out a silk handkerchief from the splendid costume, carefully wiped his hands, and then turned his hand over, and the silk handkerchief instantly turned into paste powder and drifted away with the night breeze.

The old man in black seemed to be a little allergic to this dust, and after frowning slightly, he walked away quickly. This one seems too far away, and there is no end in sight. But the old man in black was not in a hurry, but took broken steps and walked leisurely.

The neatly arranged granite slabs piece together a touch of majesty that only an imperial city can have. But he didn't feel it, but gradually lowered his tall body, looking a little cramped.

Perhaps the person you are going to see is extraordinary, or maybe this person is in a prominent position. Anyway, the old man in black has already made a posture on the long road that has not yet been completed. This humility, which is not innate, may be the foundation of his footing.

At the end of this long long road, there is a towering pitch-black stone gate, and there are four pitch-black armor guards on each side of the stone gate, they look at each other in pairs, they seem so sincere, but so strange.

The black-clothed old man slowed down his pace when he approached the stone gate, and only when he was far away from the battle of the black-armored soldiers did he stop and wait respectfully. There seems to be a tacit understanding, but they are just waiting for a signal from each other.

The stone door suddenly made a dull sound, and slowly opened from the bottom to the top. It seems that tens of millions of people have exhausted all the strength of their lives and dedicated their greatest dedication to this imperial city.

When the stone door opened, a handsome waiter with a beautiful appearance and a slender body in a splendid costume ran out of the door. He lowered his head and walked quickly to the level of the black-armored soldier at the front, before he said in a shrieked voice, "The Lord of the Kingdom is proclaiming." ”

As the words fell, the eight black-armored soldiers lifted the halberd in their hands and lowered it again, and the sound echoed repeatedly in the long truth, endlessly. But the two people who were hunched over did not make any movement, and they froze on the spot like stone sculptures.

After the black-armored soldier put down his halberd, the old man in black raised his legs and walked forward, and the attendant, who also bowed his head, immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the stone gate, as if he was afraid that the old man in black would catch up.

When the figure of the black-clothed old man disappeared behind the stone gate, a black-armored soldier repeated the action just now, and the stone gate fell in response to the sound, slamming heavily on the granite slab, making a piercing sound of Jin Ge colliding. But the eight black-armored soldiers turned a deaf ear, like the puppets.

The old man in black seemed to be walking quickly, but he deliberately left a gap and kept a distance from the leading attendant, and the two walked forward and backwards, towards the dark depths behind the stone gate.

After walking for about a pillar of incense, the two came to a palace. This palace is no different from any other palace in the Imperial City. If you have to be more serious, it is that the carving between the stone stairs of the upper hall is not a five-clawed golden dragon, but an eight-clawed ink dragon.

The five-clawed golden dragon is a symbol of royal luck, and the eight-clawed ink dragon is the fierce creature that will turn into a dragon. If you can soar in the nine heavens, you can bless the earth, and if you can only dive deep into the sea, then there will never be a day to turn over.

In this deep palace inner hall, why not carve a dragon instead? The old man in black turned a blind eye, as if he had become accustomed to it. Stroll up the stone staircase and stop outside the palace gates. And the attendant who had walked in quickly before also turned around and came out at this time, and said respectfully again: "Lord, Xuan!" ”

After hearing this, the old man in black knelt down in half a breath, raised his hands to the sky, kowtowed his head heavily, and then replied loudly: "Thank you, Lord of the country." With that, he got up and walked slowly to the door, while the attendant stood outside the door of the main hall, still respectful and humble.

The moment the black-clothed old man entered the main hall, he pressed down his rickety body a few more points, silently counted the familiar steps, and after walking ninety-nine steps, he stood still. He was waiting for the question of the people in the palace, although the candle was bright at this time, but in the eyes of the old man in black, it was pitch black.

That suffocating air, the coercion of King's Landing, made the old man in black almost breathless. After a while, the people in the palace asked in that extremely lazy but unquestionable voice, "It's all done?" ”

The old man in black fell to his knees with a thud when he heard this, and replied with his head on the ground in fear: "Returning to the lord of the country, it has been done." Mingyue Lou Nalan did not have any suspicions. ”

"Oh? Then the envoy of Zhou, what arrangements did he make? The man in the palace continued to ask with great interest. It seemed that no one had spoken to him for a long time, and he kept asking questions, wanting more information from the old man in black.

The black-clothed old man still leaned over the ground motionless, but said in that awe-inspiring but slightly timid voice: "The latter envoy is temporarily placed in the main altar of Mingyue Tower, and Nalan will slowly encroach on the Jianghu forces of the Later Tang Dynasty and even the Later Zhou Dynasty next. ”

After listening to the answer of the old man in black, the people in the palace did not ask another question, but got up and paced back and forth in front of the couch, shaking their heads and thinking about something. Of course, the old man in black couldn't see this scene, but he was slightly aware of the strangeness of the people in the hall, but he didn't dare to get up, but just pressed his body closer to the ground.

After a while, the sound of pacing back and forth stopped, but no one asked. The old man in black began to worry a little about whether what he said just now made the lord of the country doubtful, then he really deserved to die.

When he was panicked again, the familiar voice sounded like a heavenly sound, but it was less hurried, but more calm, "Manager Wang, get up and speak." The old man in black was like being struck by lightning, and he was stunned for a while before he stood up tremblingly.

It's not that he has been kneeling for too long, how can a person like him who practices martial arts tremble because of this insignificant kneeling. It was the lord of the country who was unusually tonight, and actually let him get up and answer, in these long decades, this situation is simply rare, and it is even more fantastical for him.

When the old man in black got up, the person in the palace asked slowly: "Manager Wang, do we have a way to deal with the thunderbolt method of the Mingyue Mansion Lord?" Hearing the questioning, the old man in black was again for a while, and this questioning with a needle in the cotton was almost killing him.

If you are not careful, you will anger the people of this temple, and you will end up dead. At this moment, he already noticed that there were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him in this hall, waiting for him to be shot into a hedgehog if he was not careful.

The old man in black swallowed his saliva carefully, and then said two words tremblingly: "Borrow." "Oh? Let's hear it. The people in the palace seemed to be interested, sat back on the bed, picked up a bunch of grapes, ate it, and vomited.

The beads of sweat on the forehead of the old man in black had already slid down his cheeks at this time, but he didn't dare to wipe it at all, but said busily: "Back to the lord of the country, Nalan is aiming at the rivers and lakes at this time, and what I want after Tang is the world." Although there are two lines, the speed is the same. Therefore, as long as Nalan breaks through the bamboo and takes the land of the state and county by the way, he can expand the territory, and at the same time, he can curb Nalan's ambitions and firmly grasp him in his hands. ”

The people in the palace were still eating grapes, as if they had no intention of spitting a grape on the old man in black. At this insignificant moment, the old man in black fell to his knees again, and trembled.

The people in the palace sneered slightly, and tapped the bed and said, "Did you tell him the same thing?" The last few words came out with a slight pause. The old man in black suddenly trembled violently when he heard this, because he felt that the rich murderous aura around him suddenly spread, and when this kind of airtight wind was impenetrable, any rash move would lead to death.

The old man in black hurriedly said: "Back to the lord of the country, the old slave is sincere, and he will never dare to do anything to bully the king." Nalan's thief and wolf ambition, I will monitor him from the side, and I will not let him come nonsense. ”

The people in the palace tapped on the couch again, and Gu's strong killing intent suddenly vanished. And the old man in black was already shocked into a cold sweat just now, and his back was completely soaked. At this time, the wind occasionally rises, blowing and chilling the back.

He seemed to be dissatisfied with the old man in black's answer, but he didn't know what to do, so he said, "Remember what you said, Mr. Wang, step down." When the old man in black heard this, he grabbed the ground with both hands and shouted long live, and then knelt down and exited the hall.

The moment he lifted his feet and walked out of the main hall, the mountains, rivers and stars and the sea were transformed for a thousand years, and he was reborn again. This long-lost feeling of comfort was in stark contrast to the suffocating feeling of oppression just now, which made him breathe a long sigh of relief.

The young attendant outside the hall stepped forward and carefully closed the heavy door of the hall until there was no light in it. The old man in black wanted to come forward to talk, but the young attendant didn't mean to answer, so the old man in black could only walk down the stone stairs and walk towards the stone gate.

Just as he was about to walk to the stone gate, a feather arrow swished through the air, and it just grazed his cheek impartially, and the cold arrow qi brought a trace of blood, making the old man in black tremble again.

He didn't dare to look back, for fear that turning around would be the end. Fortunately, the stone door made a dull sound again and slowly opened. The old man in black walked out of the stone gate slowly with heavy steps, and only after the stone gate hit the ground again did he really breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he realized his recklessness just now, the simple look just now, and almost cost him his life. As an old man in the deep palace, how could he make such a hasty mistake?

That arrow was a warning and a reminder, warning yourself not to forget what you just said, Long Yan will die if he is angry. Remind yourself to act quickly and don't let the lord of the country wait. Thinking of this, the old man in black quickened his pace, thinking about the direction he was coming from.

It's just that this time I returned, I walked tremblingly, and I didn't have a leisurely walk when I came. This granite slab, as if pressed on him, breathless, that suffocating sense of oppression, I don't know when it will end.

And at this moment, Nalan was still wiping his long sword. He was just muttering to himself, "Manager Wang, it's hard work." "It seems that they are in a secret room, and they already know everything that has just happened, and the game between these two people seems to have just begun.
