Zhang Jiao smiled and asked, "I heard that you have a fairy sword?"

Ji Yu didn't answer, just drank and watched the fireworks in the sky, the moon in the sky that was not very bright.

Zhang Jiao then asked: "Actually, most of the reason why the Divine Monarch values you so much is because of your Immortal Sword, but how did you get that Immortal Sword? ”

"Moreover, your comprehension of the sword is faintly close to Lord Shenjun, I have never seen such a cultivator. ”

Ji Yu still didn't answer Zhang Jiao's words, because there were some words that he couldn't answer, and maybe there shouldn't be an answer.

Zhang Jiao didn't care, this topic was not good, and turned back to the original topic: "You know, what should you do if you want to return to Xichu?"

Ji Yu raised his eyebrows, took a big sip of spirits, and said: "Kill Shangguan who is not Shangguan, the prohibition of the Earth Spirit Secret Realm will be lifted, and I will see the Divine Monarch in your mouth, and then the people of Western Chu will come from Western Chu and return to Western Chu." ”

Zhang Jiao was stunned and asked with some puzzlement: "How do you know that Shangguan is not Shangguan?"

Ji Yu smiled and asked, "Why don't I know, Shangguan is not Shangguan?"

After a period of silence, Zhang Jiao began to drink and looked very depressed.

After a long time, he said, "I may be going to die." ”

Ji Yu was a little puzzled: "Aren't you the same as Jiang Qiyun and these people?, you are a guardian in the Earth Spirit Secret Realm, he is all drawing the ground in the small world to live forever, how can you die?"

Zhang Jiao smiled and said, "Jiang Qiyun and these people are law enforcers, and we are chess pieces, chess pieces that promote the world pattern. ”

In other words, they are law enforcers, we are the apostles of the Divine King, and the mission that the apostles have completed is also the end of their own destiny. ”

Ji Yu nodded, took a big sip of liquor and said, "That's it, it's a pity, why should people compromise with fate?"

The Chinese New Year's Eve in Yizhou City is very lively, and every family table is full of sumptuous delicacies, and the economy is rich, and even a golden pig is roasted.

However, the food eaten by the little beggars and young monks in the Qingshan Tower was rather shabby.

Two bowls of tomato and egg noodles, a lot of tomatoes, a lot of eggs, and a lot of noodles.

The brother and sister looked at the two bowls of noodles, staring at them in a daze.

In the end, it was the little beggar who couldn't help it, and took the lead in breaking the silence, and said dissatisfied: "Brother, we are obviously not n anymore, why is it that on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone eats so hearty and rich, we eat two bowls of tomato egg noodles?"

The young monk said: "Because the superior life is not easy to come by, I remember the year we lost our home, the New Year is two steamed buns, and then you nibble on one and a half steamed buns, I gnawed half a steamed bun, looking at a bowl of tomato and egg noodles in a small noodle restaurant in a daze." ”

The little beggar asked, "So for the sake of remembrance, are you going to take me to eat a bowl of tomato egg noodles with a lot of tomatoes, a lot of eggs, and a lot of noodles for the New Year?"

The young monk nodded and said, "Remembering the past, we have come from such a difficult time to today, and we have survived in this troubled world. ”

Then, with this realization, we look for a way to step into the world of the ascetic and see for ourselves how high the day is. ”

The little beggar said, "Didn't you give up this idea a long time ago?"

The young monk smiled bitterly: "In life, who doesn't want to live a more wonderful life? Who can be willing to be ordinary?"

Luoyang's Chinese New Year's Eve is more lively and exciting than the entire states of the Earth Spirit Secret Realm.

When those fireworks illuminate the night more beautiful than the day, some large families began to sing and dance, some middle-sized families began to drink and have fun, and some ordinary families ate delicious food and drank wine and talked about those interesting things in the Later Han Dynasty.

Quiet and peaceful, just like the prosperous world, but after all, there is less flavor of the prosperous world.

And in the palace, the extravagant banquet has just begun.

Wen Zhuo followed like a pug behind the ten permanent servants led by Zhang Rang.

And the puppet boy who was dressed in a dragon robe and had no soul sat on top of the high hall, sitting next to the woman in the phoenix robe and the crown of the phoenix, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a plaything in someone else's hand.

Tonight's banquet, the general He Jing will also attend, because this banquet was originally prepared for him.

With the arrival of the imperial officials, the banquet gradually became lively.

Those officials did not rush to go to the Spirit Emperor to salute, but first saluted with the ten permanent attendants headed by Zhang Rang.

Wen Zhuo naturally also touched the light of the Ten Standing Servants, although he is now in the posture of a dog, those court officials still respect him very much.

Because behind this dog, there are fierce jackals and tigers.

The general He Jing arrived in armor and sword, looking arrogant.

Countless officials hurriedly stood up to greet them.

The ten permanent servants led by Zhang Rang did not move, Emperor Ling and the Empress naturally did not move, and Wen Zhuo did not move.

He Jing entered, glanced at Zhang Rang and the others coldly, and finally his eyes fell on Wen Zhuo, who was full of humble smiles, and snorted heavily, his eyes full of disgust and annoyance.

With the arrival of General He Jing, the officials who should have come have almost arrived.

Zhang Rang sat on the lower left of the Spirit Emperor, while He N was on the lower right of the Spirit Emperor.

The rest of the ten permanent attendants sat in turn according to their identities, and Wen Zhuo sat under the ten permanent attendants, chatting very happily with the people around him, which can be described as left and right.

For some reason, seeing that Wen Zhuo was like a fish in water, He Jing was more unhappy in his heart.

In this way, with a few opening polite words from Emperor Ling and the Empress, the banquet began.

Officials should meet their own needs and begin to talk to those who should be stammered.

But Wen Zhuo didn't, because he knew that tonight was a murderous Hongmen banquet.

Because it was the Xiliang knife and axe who were hiding in the dark corners of this banquet hall who wanted to make this killing.

Those Xiliang sword and axe hands were not ordinary soldiers, but carefully selected cultivator soldiers with cultivation.

After three rounds of drinking, those who should be co-opted are co-opted, and those who should be flattered are also flattered.

At this time, after a dance song, the general He Jing stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, now that the princes of the Ten Roads have finally begun to fight back against the Red Turban Army, there is no threat to the front line of Si Lizhou, and the minister wants to return to Beijing to garrison." ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall suddenly fell silent, and only silence remained.

No one dared to speak, they were all looking at He Jing and the Ten Permanent Servants, especially Zhang Rang.

Emperor Ling glanced at Zhang Rang, then rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "He Aiqing, there are not only Lord Zhang's million-feather Lin Wei in the imperial city, but also Wen Zhuo Aiqing's Xiliang Iron Horse, which is already an iron wall, He Aiqing doesn't need to worry too much, he only needs to guard Si Lizhou, the barrier of this imperial city, to make this imperial city impregnable." ”

He Jing sneered: "I'm afraid it's not like this, by the side of Your Majesty, surrounded by jackals, tigers and leopards, if there are no traitors, how can the Later Han Dynasty decline to this point?"

At this time, Zhang Rang, who had been silent, spoke, he drank the sake in the cup, and said leisurely: "The general's words, don't have a deep meaning, we are waiting for Your Majesty every day, so can I understand that the general said that we are the jackals, tigers and leopards who are waiting around Your Majesty?"

He Jing laughed loudly and said, "Lord Zhang Rang, don't pretend to be confused, what's going on with the Red Turban Army uprising, don't you have a little bit in your heart?"
