The snow turned the world into pure white, and the prince let the snow fall on the big fur and hurried to the side hall of Chaoyang Palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoCompared with the cold world full of wind and snow outside, the side hall of Chaoyang Palace is like the spring when everything is recovering, giving people the urge to sleep.

Gongsun Long and Lu Qikun sat in chairs, their backs straight like cedars in the cold winter moon.

The prince walked into the main hall covered in snow and looked at Lu Qikun, who he met for the first time. The thin and pure white loose Chu clothes, the hair that is casually draped behind the back, the very ordinary appearance, and the relatively short figure, make Lu Qikun look like he has nothing to show off. If you insist on saying that Lu Qikun is special, it is those cool eyes, as clear and cold as cold well water.

"Prince" Gongsun Long first got up and saluted,

Lu Qikun followed closely, and then began to look at the crown prince of Chu. The black hair is restrained by a beautifully carved jade ring, and the well-defined appearance is very elegant. A decent black Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao suit, with a silk belt hanging from the waist. It doesn't look like a prince of a country, but like a gentleman cultivated by Confucianism. It's just that the innate temperament and public education still have the majesty of the superiors.

The prince smiled and said to Lu Qikun, "Young Master Lu, my father wants to see you."

Lu Qikun looked at the prince with a puzzled face, wanting to know why the King of Chu suddenly wanted to see him. The prince was silent, his expression was complicated, and he wanted to speak and stopped, only his face was full of helplessness.

Lu Qikun thought about it and said respectfully, "Please lead the way, the prince"

Since the prince didn't want to say, there was no need to ask. And Lu Qikun can't refuse, no matter what his identity is, as long as he is a native of Chu, there is no reason to refuse the summons of the king of Chu, this has nothing to do with etiquette or the future, it is just the basic thing that a Chu person should have.

When the prince was about to leave the side hall, he turned to Lu Qikun behind him and said, "Qingque has returned to the palace."

Regarding the relationship between Qingque and Lu Qikun, the prince also knows one or two. After all, the crown prince was influenced by Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness and gentleness, and he was the eldest son of the king of Chu. is very concerned about his younger brothers and sisters, but the princes don't have a lot of colds, and in the end, only Qingque has the best relationship with the prince.

As for Qingque's return to the palace today, it can be said that the news has been blocked, and only a few people know about it. And the prince told Lu Qikun the news, and he also wanted to see the other party's reaction, but the prince was very disappointed, and Lu Qikun had no reaction except for doubt.

"Let's go" the prince said, looking at Gongsun Long with a little deep meaning, and then left the side hall with Lu Qikun.

After the crown prince and Lu Qikun left the side hall, Gongsun Long's expression gradually became heavy. Whether it is the information that the prince deliberately revealed, or the slightly meaningful gaze before leaving,

It made Gongsun Long extremely uneasy.

Looking up at the heavy snow outside the window, there seemed to be an undercurrent flowing in this solemn and quiet palace. The royal palace of the past may have had a heavy atmosphere, and the people who lived in the palace trembled, but there was no oppression that had occurred during these four days. After the incident of sacrificing to the holy land, the king of Chu was injured and fled back to the palace, and a shadow hung over everyone's heads, and everyone in the palace became cautious.

At this time, some temple people hurriedly ran into the side hall, and when they saw Gongsun Long with a heavy expression, they hurriedly knelt down and bowed in the tunnel, "The edict of the king of Chu, the prince's family ordered Gongsun Long to go to the Xiu Mu Palace"

"The storm is coming, and the road ahead will be difficult," Gongsun Long thought silently.

After the king of Chu summoned him, Gongsun Long felt that the state of Chu would no longer be peaceful. It's just that even Gongsun Long can't think about how big this storm is, so he can only silently plan the future of Confucianism and the crown prince.

Gongsun Long "lead the way" to the temple

...................

The palace of the king of Chu covers an extremely vast area, and the palace is full of gold and splendor, compared to watching it in the Yingdu, such a close experience makes Lu Qikun even more shocked.

The current palace of the king of Chu was built by the king of Chuzhuang, and it was rebuilt on the original palace of the king of Chuzhuang. While preserving the historical traces of the past, all the palaces are more magnificent. Moreover, as a cultivator, Lu Qikun could clearly perceive that every palace was a terrifying force.

This force was silent in the palace, silently conceived by time. Presumably, if one day the Chu State Sheji Jiang will die, this force can easily turn things around.

"The recuperation of King Cheng and King Wen has created the hegemony of King Zhuang and the prosperity of Chu for a hundred years," Lu Qikun sighed.

The prince's smile was full of pride and pride after hearing this, Lu Qikun also smiled, and the two walked towards the Xiu Mu Hall without a word.

In the courtyard of the deep palace, the two of them walked for two moments before they came to the place where the Xiu Mu Hall was. The two walked in and walked into it under the guidance of the temple people, and suddenly the princes cast playful glances, showing expressions that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

The prince and Lu Qikun frowned and couldn't understand, but when they saw the young man in front of Xiu Mu's palace, the prince looked at Lu Qikun in silence.

The young man looked behind him with some feelings, and when he saw Lu Qikun, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his eyes looked disdainful, "Cousin, we meet again"

Lu Qikun's eyes were gloomy and terrifying, like the abyss separating the snowfield from the north, unfathomable and extremely dark. A killing intent emerged extremely obviously, and his right hand was quietly held in the red hidden blade, as if the sword was about to come out of its sheath and slash at Lu Qiqian at any time.

"Prince" Lu Qiqian didn't care about Lu Qikun's appearance, or even the terrifying murderous machine, and saluted to the prince beside him.

The prince returned the favor and looked at Lu Qiqian unkindly, after all, the alliance between his second brother and Lu Qiqian was no longer a secret in the entire Great Chu. The situation of the Dongting Banquet and the night of the rain in Xiangcheng was easily known by the prince through his tunnel, and it was precisely because of this that Gongsun Long intended to win over Lu Qikun.

Lu Qiqian didn't care about the appearance of the prince, after all, the two of them were enemies now, and if they did what they should do, they wouldn't be said to be rude by those mad dog clans.

Immediately, the prince entered the Xiu Mu Palace, and suddenly there were only Lu Qiqian and Lu Qikun in front of the palace. As for the princes who were hiding from the snow under the eaves of the wall in the distance, they just looked lively.

Lu Qiqian smiled and said, "Cousin, I was too soft-hearted back then, and I shouldn't doubt my grandfather's decision."

A year ago, Lu Qiqian was arrogant and confident that even if Lu Qikun was given so-called freedom, he would not cause any harm to himself. It's just that time has passed, and Lu Qiqian has realized his mistakes, especially the battle in Xiangcheng on a rainy night, and he almost made himself an idiot.

Since then, Lu Qiqian has been constantly reviewing, constantly recalling the truths that his grandfather taught him, and finally admitting that he was too arrogant and confident, which caused the current situation. Although such a situation is controllable, it will waste your energy on such a simple matter.

Lu Qikun looked at each other indifferently, the killing intent became more and more obvious, and the red hidden blade on his waist trembled slightly, and he would come out of its sheath and slash at Lu Qiqian at any time. Even if it is the Dao Heart that cultivates the Dao Sword, it does not stop and smash this killing force, this is a rational choice in Lu Qikun's heart, so the Dao Sword will not stop it.

"Grandpa is right, everything needs to be perfect, so a little accident must be strangled in the cradle." Lu Qiqian said regretfully, as if he was regretting the decision he had made, but only Lu Qiqian knew what he was thinking.

Lu Qikun said indifferently, "I want to kill a cultivator who is reincarnated by a true dragon, and I will have an unimaginable sense of satisfaction."

"Really?" Lu Qiqian smiled, and a strong killing intent emerged.

The two competed against each other, and the killing intent collided, so that no one dared to approach in front of Xiu Mu Palace, and even the falling snow turned into dust

And in the Xiu Mu Palace, the King of Chu, the crown prince and Qingque quietly watched everything, but the King of Chu looked calm and not violent, the prince looked complicated and bowed his head and was silent, Qingque's face was pale and his heart was completely chaotic. King Chu Yu Guang looked at his daughter, sighed slightly and felt bitter in his heart, and could only hide his emotions with a bitter smile.

The king of Chu instructed the crown prince, "Let them come in."

"Yes, father," the prince saluted.

When the two of them entered the Xiu Mu Palace, their eyes were focused on Qingque. Lu Qiqian's eyes were full of gentle smiles, and after nodding to Qingque, he saluted the thin King of Chu on the bed. This kind of behavior can be said to be a big deal, but the King of Chu didn't care about it, but admired the Lu family Zhenlong in front of him.

As for Lu Qikun's headache, a memory broke through the ground and came to mind. The beautiful shadow turned around at this moment, and a clear face came to mind, which was the face of the green finch in front of him. It's just that compared to what I remembered, the green finch is now much haggard and pale.

It's just that everything is short-lived, and it only takes a few seconds for that Dao Shadow to appear, and the Dao Sword ruthlessly swings down, completely shattering Qingque's memory, making Lu Qikun truly and completely forget the past, forgetting everything before cultivating the Dao Sword, including the memories of Lin Shi.

What Lu Qikun revealed in an instant naturally couldn't escape King Chu's eyes.
