"It's a deal." It was Chen Hui who spoke.

The feeling of making a deal with the emperor Chen Hui has to say, it is very interesting. But the scholar's expression has always been very serious, which in Chenhui's opinion, somewhat indicates that something is wrong.

"I didn't expect that in the future, I thought that my smartest courtier would give up the temple and go to the rivers and lakes for you, it seems that you should be a very interesting character." The little emperor looked at Chen Hui and said.

Chen Hui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the ability of the grass people is far inferior to that of my husband. In this operation, the grass people are just acting as a guard. Whether it is the war in the Northern Regions or the war in the Western Regions, any war, whether it is won or lost for the country, is a wound to the bones, and it is the blessing of all the people that Your Majesty can stop the war, and the grass people thank Your Majesty for the common people in the world. ”

The little emperor waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, there must be people in the world whose martial arts are higher than yours, if you don't have anything outstanding, the scholars of the Shen family will not follow you, you can take this gold medal, since the scholars of the Shen family promised me three things, these three things should also be counted on your head." I'd love to get to know you better, but it's a pity if you don't send me back. I'm afraid my palace is about to turn upside down. ”

The scholar said: "Surprise Your Majesty, it is really not our original intention. This will bring His Majesty back. ”

Feng Zhan said with a playful smile: "Boy, you have to hold your breath." ”

The little emperor was a little unsure, in fact, he was very curious about what kind of person could rob him from the main hall where he was entertaining ministers and hundreds of officials to the imperial study in such a short period of time, and he was not prepared when he was above the main hall, he only felt the wind like a knife and a strong sense of suffocation in the number of breaths. He was still speculating about the meaning of this sentence, when he saw this thinly dressed young man with a ruffian face suddenly disappear before his eyes.

The little emperor instinctively shouted. The voice sounded a little ethereal to him. At this time, in the main hall, the hundred officials did not dare to leave the seat, and a large number of guards had already rushed to surround the place to protect the safety of the hundred officials, and more guards were searching for the palace. It's just that what they didn't expect was that the candle flame in the hall suddenly went out again, and when the strange wind blew into the hall again, the officials made a noise again, thinking that another minister would be robbed.

The candle was lit quickly.

The little emperor's messy posture in the wind had not yet adjusted, but now he was already sitting in his original position. If you ignore the little emperor's frightened expression, and the wind-blown robe and hair accessories, it is as if he has never left.

"Hahahaha...... Hahaha...... Do you think my tricks are interesting? ”

An aura of embarrassment permeated the air, and the little emperor burst out laughing. The officials and ministers were confused, and they didn't know what was going on. But it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is no different, and soon, the guards in the palace have become more guarded, and the patrol posts have become more diligent and intensive. But judging from the facts, maybe it was really the little emperor who made a joke with the hundred officials.

In the middle of the night, the little emperor was escorted by several guards with strong martial arts, and did not go to the harem, but came to the Emperor's Star Department. The Imperial Star Department is located in the palace, although they are soldiers, but in fact, they are higher than the Divine Soldiers, lower than the Dragon Generals, but they are not too under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Generals. The Imperial Star Department served the Emperor directly.

The old Emperor Star generals Emperor Fenglie and Emperor Xiaoyu were actually the people of the first emperor, not the little emperor's choice, and now the four generals of the Emperor Star have become the three generals of the Emperor Star. This was a great loss for the Empire, as it was very difficult to cultivate generals with the will of the Emperor of Heaven. But what made the little emperor happy was that the deceased Emperor Star General Emperor Fenglie was the person of the previous emperor, not his own person, and his most trusted Emperor Star General was Emperor Yueluo, who was about the same age as him. Another Emperor Star General, Di Yundu, was also deeply trusted by him, but this trust may only be because Di Yundu, like the little emperor, was wary of the Yan family.

The little emperor came to the Emperor Star Department this time to find Di Yueluo. Di Yueluo also seemed to know that the little emperor was coming, and the candle inside was always lit. When he saw the little emperor coming, he was not a little surprised. Di Yueluo got up and bowed to the little emperor.

"Your Majesty's late-night visit seems to be an important matter." Although he was kneeling, his tone was no different from the usual, and he still seemed a little indifferent.

The little emperor has long been accustomed to it, and about Di Yueluo, in the eyes of the ministers who really have power, he is the second emperor in the palace. Even to His Majesty the Emperor, Di Yueluo was outspoken and never concealed his emotions. But what they didn't know was that the little emperor trusted Di Yueluo very, very much. Therefore, Di Yueluo has always had a privilege, even in the face of His Majesty the Emperor, he can also claim to be a courtier.

The little emperor helped Di Yueluo up and said, "There is no need for these vulgar rites between you and me, but others kneel on you on the battlefield." I did come to you with something I wanted to inquire about. ”

Di Yueluo was not surprised, and said lightly: "It's about today's hijacking." ”

The little emperor smiled: "Haha, let you see a joke." ”

Di Yueluo didn't think it was a joke, he said: "Your Majesty is here to ask, because in Your Majesty's opinion, no one should be able to bypass me and rob the current emperor." ”

The little emperor said: "I won't blame you, I know your ability, and I also know the scholar's ability." The speed of that snitch is indeed very fast, but no one can escape your sight in the palace, and during the time you were guarding the palace, it was the famous Akasi who came, and I don't believe that they could avoid you, they could kidnap me, and it was time for you to let them go. It was with this in mind that I believed that they would not harm me. ”

Di Yueluo said: "Your Majesty is very smart. It seems that His Majesty wants to know about this group of people. ”

The little emperor nodded and said: "Yes, there are very few people I can use, the war in the Northern Regions has made me understand one thing, that is, there is a lot to be done in the rivers and lakes, if it were not for the warriors of the rivers and lakes, this war would not be so easy to win, and through the scholars of the Shen family, now my world has been in conflict with the warriors of the rivers and lakes, and they are also hostile to the Yan family, which is a very good thing, but I hope it can be better." I was curious about two things, the first was why you were helping them, and the second was who they were. ”

Di Yueluo obviously also knew about the little emperor's problem, and he said: "I helped them to return the favor of Hongcheng for His Majesty." If it weren't for them, the city would have been lost, so I promised the leader of them to do something for them. ”

The little emperor frowned and said, "Emperor Xing will do one thing with the strongest, this is really a big request, it is really a pity to use such a request just to see me." ”

Di Yueluo said: "It seems that His Majesty has a good impression of them. ”

The little emperor sneered: "When will you stop telling the truth, you know, they have kidnapped me." ”

Di Yueluo said: "As for who they are, I don't know, but it is certain that the strength of the leader is very strong. ”

The little emperor said, "How strong can it be?" ”

Di Yueluo said: "It's immeasurable, the exercises are very powerful, and the cultivation is not below me, I'm afraid that looking at today's martial arts and even the entire continent, I can also enter the top ten." ”

The little emperor pondered for a moment and said, "This is a talent, so my deal is worth it." I need to know everything about them, as soon as possible. ”

Di Yueluo nodded, stopped talking, and the little emperor stopped casually for a while, and then left.

At this time, the three people of the inn and the shopkeeper had also come to the Imperial Capital Inn outside the palace to settle down.

"Sir has been worried, but he is worried." Chen Hui saw that the scholar's expression was not as serious as before, and he was also worried.

The scholar said: "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, we are actually seeking skin with the tiger, but the shopkeeper is really a nosy person." Sometimes I wish you were a hard-hearted person. “

"But that's not the shopkeeper I know. We'll have to be careful later, I'm afraid the Empire will investigate us. ”

Feng Zhan asked, "Didn't the emperor agree to our request?" ”

The scholar asked rhetorically: "If you become an emperor and have the highest power in the world, what should be your first reaction when you are hijacked?" What should be the first reaction to a force that cannot be controlled? His Majesty behaved too calmly and calmly, which made it seem ...... It's unusual. ”

The shopkeeper understood.

Naturally, the biggest person in power in the world would not really want someone to hijack him in his own domain, whether such a person has malicious intent or not, it is a provocation for those in power.

The little emperor was very easy-going with Chen Hui and the others, but behind his back, he didn't necessarily have no murderous intentions. In the scholar's view, the emperor's tiger is no longer the tiger that was locked in a cage without claws back then, and at an appropriate time, the emperor will inevitably reveal his means, and I am afraid that the degree of horror will not be weaker than the scene when he participated in the military test.

Feng Zhan said disdainfully: "The emperor is not as comfortable as Uncle Ben is now." If they have the ability to investigate us, they can do it. ”

Chen Hui also smiled: "Sir's concerns are always right, we should also be careful, but Sir, don't worry, no matter who comes here, I can protect everyone." ”

The scholar sneered: "It seems that the trip to the Western Regions and the Northern Regions has made you a lot more confident. ”

Chen avoided the topic, looked at the south and said, "I feel that there have been a lot of things recently, maybe it's time to rest." ”

Feng Zhan asked, "Where is the next stop?" ”

Chen Hui said: "Feng Zhan, Yimi misses you very much. In addition, Mr. should also take Xiao Liuli to go shopping, cook, should also have something to say with A Xiu, I plan to park the inn in Lianqing, whether it is the rivers and lakes, the world is good, it should be peaceful for a few days, there is a lively gathering, we will join in the fun, there is no excitement, we will be idle for a while. ”

The scholar smiled: "It's rare. In the past year, your inn has been running around, and there is hardly a stable day, and it is not bad to have a few days of leisure. ”

That's what Chen Hui thinks. Since he first entered the rivers and lakes and robbed the cook outside Nansha City, it seems that he has been in a hurry. The trip to Qinzhou, the trip to the Southern Barbarians, the trip to Tiankeng City, and then to the martial arts conference and the war in the Western Regions and the Northern Regions of the empire. He's been running around all year long.

He has never forgotten his purpose of walking the rivers and lakes.

He also promised Chen Ling that he must find the whereabouts of the master. He has been running around the rivers and lakes for so long, and now that the people of the inn have been gathered, Chen thought that it was time to find out the whereabouts of the master.

……

Thirty-one years of spring.

This spring, the rivers and lakes are much calmer than in previous years. But there are also a lot of big things or messages coming out. The biggest event was the change in the list of martial arts. Generally speaking, changes to the martial arts list will only be changed at the martial arts conference once every few years, but for a few strong people, there are exceptions.

Ye Yi's hobby in life is to make friends, visit the world's strongest, and collect the world's martial arts or discuss and study martial arts with them. The stronger the person, the more interested Ye is.

There are not many changes in the list of martial arts this time, but because they are all top-level adjustments, they are also talked about by people in the rivers and lakes.

The number one is naturally Ning Wuxie. This domineering swordsman who has mastered the Furnace Skill, in addition to the top swordsmanship, is close to the strongest in terms of speed, strength, physical strength, and realm. Therefore, on the whole, it is the strongest.

But the second place is no longer Master Fangzheng, Master Fangzheng has been in the second place in the martial arts list for a long time, and has never changed, I thought it would never change, but now the second place has been replaced by Yun Cangxuan, Master Fangzheng has become the third, naturally, Zhang Tianshi, who is in front of Yun Cangxuan, will also move back one place.

Although Yun Cangxuan ranked second, although it attracted a lot of discussion, it was not the slightest controversy, because as early as many years ago, this contemporary sword god was already considered to be the strongest in swordsmanship, but compared to Zhang Tianshi Fangzheng Master Ning Wuxie, Yun Cangxuan could never surpass these people if he could not cross the extreme intention.

But no one expected that not long ago, in one of the most dangerous places in the world, Yun Cangxuan broke his will. Ning Wuxie's number one in the world is finally no longer something that no one can shake.

No one knows how strong the Yuncang Xuanyi Sword is under the extreme intention, but I am afraid that in the world today, except for the martial artists of the same realm, no one can take the Yuncang Xuanyi Sword. Because even Xuan Sheng Twelve personally admitted that his defense could not withstand the Yun Cangxuan of the Extreme Artistic Realm Realm.

This is the biggest change in the military list. The second change is that the tenth Li Sixiang has become the young sugar of the Iron Lion Sect. Nian Xiaotang is young, but he already has the cultivation of the peak of the nine leaves, this kind of talent is very rare, and the most rare thing is that the Shishan Tsunami Gong Nian Xiaotang has also practiced superbly. It is understandable to be ranked in the first line on the first page of the martial arts directory, but it is replaced by Li Sixiang, the second master of Taoism, which inevitably makes people feel emotional.

The genius of Taoism, Li Sixiang, is not as young as Chen Huinian's little sugar Akasi, but Ye still has a high opinion of the indifferent Li Sixiang, who is lazy and fashionable and can enter the ultimate in martial arts, if he is interested in martial arts one day, he will definitely be able to enter a deeper realm, and that realm must be more than just extreme meaning.

It's just a pity that during the Northern War, the Taoist master broke his arm in order to save a Buddhist disciple, and this kind of self-sacrificing behavior made people have a good impression of Li Sixiang. They are also hoping that this Taoist master can return to the top.

The two changes in the martial arts list are the most concerned by the world, naturally who is stronger now between Yun Cangxuan and Ning Wuxie. There were many such topics long before Yun Cangxuan broke through the realm, and now that Yun Cangxuan has stepped into the extreme, this kind of topic is not just a topic, but a question worth exploring.

Once the rivers and lakes calm down, it is necessary to have such idle conversations. It's just that no matter how the two sides fight, they won't see the results in the short term.

There must be a battle between Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan, everyone thinks so, even Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan himself thinks so. But the two had already agreed in the Snow Devil Zone to fight again after entering the real martial arts.

And in the high-level of the rivers and lakes, in addition to these two people, there is another person, and that is a young monk of the Buddhist sect. Not many people know the name of the monk, there are warriors who have visited thousands of Buddha Mountains, but they have not seen him in the end, and those who did not participate in the Northern War are not sure whether what those who came back from the battlefield alive are true.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy has a cultivation that is incomparable to top powerhouses such as Master Ning Wuxian Fangzheng, this statement is really appalling and difficult for people to agree with, but ...... But more and more people believe in this thing.

Buddhism, as the most profound sect, seems to have one or two peerless masters hidden in it, such as sweeping the floor in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion or something, it is not so unreasonable. It's just that the rumored monk is too young, which makes the younger generation of the rivers and lakes very shocked, they and Akasi Li Nianyun, the shopkeeper Nian Xiaotang, these strong people were born in the same era It is already very unwelcome, and now they are told that there is a young monk in the realm of ancient times, which makes them have to think about whether they can gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes.

These...... are also anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, whether these anecdotes are true or false, but in the end, they are not the catastrophe of martial arts. The rivers and lakes are peaceful, and the world is peaceful, and peace is people's original wish.

That's a good thing.

But the so-called peace in the rivers and lakes may just be something that is fearful and not discovered.

……

At the beginning of the summer of the thirty-first year of the Qin calendar. Donghai City is close to the East China Sea, where the four seasons are like spring, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the seaside, many tourists are willing to go to Donghai City to see the beautiful scenery of the sea.

The most famous place in Donghai City is Yunci Valley.

Located in the hot spring valley, there are natural hot springs, and Yunci Valley is also one of the nine strongest forces in the rivers and lakes. In addition to the people who came for sightseeing, there were also many people, men, who wanted to worship in Yunci Valley. Although Yunci Valley is full of female disciples, it is also considered by many people to be a man's paradise. Since An Hongdou, the previous Yunci Valley Lord, passed on the position of the head of the Valley to the male disciple Li Nianyun, there have been many men who want to worship Yunci Valley......

Of course, in the end, none of them seemed to be worth making an exception to Yunci Valley. In Li Nianyun's words, probably none of you are the protagonists.

After spending some time in Lianqing, the chef Ding Qiliang said that summer is coming, and the most delicious snow fish in Anhai will be active, and he wants to cook about snow fish. So the group of people who had been staying in Lianqing for a long time came to Anhai.

Anhai is not far from Donghai City, and Chen Hui also wants to take advantage of his leisure time to complete the agreement with Li Nianyun at the martial arts conference, and go to Yunci Valley to have a discussion with Li Nianyun.

No one knows what happens in this world.

When the inn docked at the shallows of the dark sea, Chen Hui and the cook went to catch snow fish. Unexpectedly, they met a person here that none of them expected.

The sea breeze carried a faint fishy smell, and the shopkeeper and the cook walked out a few miles south of the inn to fish, but found that there was a small spot in the distance of the calm dark sea. With their extraordinary eyesight, Ding Qiliang and Chen Hui both found that it was a small wooden boat.

There are many fishermen on the shore of the dark sea, and it is not surprising that there are wooden boats, but there is no fishing gear on such a wooden boat, and the person on the boat does not look like a fisherman at all, and even the wooden boat looks very different from the wooden boats of ordinary fishermen in the Empire.

The man was dressed in white, but he looked a little dirty. The hair accessories are also extremely eccentric, and the bizarre bun is by no means an imperial attire. He carried a weapon that looked like a club on his back, but it was wrapped in sackcloth, and I don't know what it was. Such a person is naturally not a fisherman.

At this time, there was no one else on the shore of Anhai except for Chen Hui and Ding Qiliang. The two of them looked at the wooden boat, thinking about the same thing.

Although Chen Hui lacked a lot of common knowledge about martial arts, he had heard that there would be a swordsman coming from the other side of the dark sea three years ago, and this statement was still spreading, but no one had ever confirmed it. Either it's a miscommunication, or it's just a prophecy.

But whether he was a witness to the prophecy or not, Chen Hui was still unclear, and it was not until the next moment that Chen Hui really confirmed it.

Because the man opened one eye. He stood on top of a wooden boat that seemed to be flowing along the waves, but in fact it was steadily heading towards the shore. And the moment he opened his eyes, the center of his gaze was a person-Ding Qiliang.

In this world, the fastest thing is the gaze, if the gaze can be turned into a slash, it is the most difficult to avoid in the world. Ding Qiliang also looked at the wooden boat, and when he saw the person on the boat open one eye and look at him, Ding Qiliang instinctively sensed danger, and then he took a step back. This step was very timely, and before his consciousness could react, his body took a step back because of the instinct to perceive danger.

There was a strong wind howling by. Chen Hui and Ding Qi turned around, and found that the sandstone not far behind them had been neatly cut.

Even a master like Chen Hui felt a trace of surprise. Buddhism and Taoism do have exercises that can avoid the cumbersome process of channeling qi with form, but it is the first time he has seen such a natural person in this boat.

And after this blow, the white-clothed swordsman on the wooden boat closed his eyes, and his expression was extremely indifferent. It seems that there is nothing wrong or sorry for the rudeness or rude behavior just now.

"It seems...... We met amazing people. Chen smiled back.

The cook was somewhat frightened and scolded: "Fortunately, Lao Tzu has a big life." ”

"Cook, what you are thinking and what I am thinking about is not the same thing?" Chen asked back.

"Shopkeeper, when did you speak to the bookkeeper. This man is indeed not from the Empire. Ding Qiliang said.

"It's not a person from the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm, nor is it a person from the Northern and Western Regions." Chenhui added.

That is also the boat getting closer and closer. Chen Hui could vaguely see the man's eyebrows and eyes, and felt a little familiar. After a long silence, Chen Hui finally said:

"It turns out that the legends are all true."

Ding Qiliang said: "If this wooden boat travels a hundred feet in a blink of an eye, it is true. ”

Chen Hui shook his head and said, "That's the last legend, this is another legend. The strength of this person is very strong. ”

Ding Qi nodded, there are a lot of martial arts in the world, he knows some, at least more than the shopkeeper, but there are also many things he doesn't know. He can be regarded as fighting with this person, but he can't see what kind of martial arts this is at all.

The shopkeeper just thought about how the appearance of this person would bring changes to the rivers and lakes, but after thinking about it, he didn't seem to find much change. There has never been a shortage of challengers in the Central Plains martial arts, and Chen Hui is very confident in the martial artists of the rivers and lakes, especially the group of warriors at the top.

In the end, he just sighed: "I didn't expect that we could encounter this kind of thing just when we came out to catch fish." ”

Chen Hui smiled bitterly, thinking about how to greet this swordsman from the other side of the darkness, and for a while he felt a little funny and a little headache.

"It seems that this year will be busy as well."

(After the second volume, it was originally planned to complete one volume in one hundred chapters, but the progress of the story has already reached the end of the war, so let's divide it into volumes here in chapter seventy-nine.) The entire second volume is almost entirely devoted to the war, and although the ending ends with a visitor from the other side of the Dark Sea, there will be no new map for the Dark Sea. But the next volume will focus on the inn vs. Tianji Pavilion, as well as the Chu State Line, after all, the Dark Sea Swordsman is actually a relative of Feng Zhan, which can be regarded as a foreshadowing before the inn and his party opened. It's almost 900,000 words before you know it, it's really not easy, thank you for reading it all the way. I'm still going to try to write this part well. ）
