The night is dark.

The wind is high.

Full moon.

There will never be a shortage of excitement at the feet of the Son of Heaven. The emperor will play a role in a sense of security at some point, even if the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are extremely murderous in some ways, but it is also for some people, and for the common people, there is still a distance.

Distance produces not only beauty, but also a sense of alienation and mystery.

Again, there is a sense of security.

Therefore, although the capital is heavily guarded in some aspects, as long as it is not subject to unwarranted disasters, it is not more stable?

As the largest inn in the capital, Yuelai Inn is naturally a lively and noisy place. Especially after the introduction of food and drinks that are unique to the inn some time ago, Yuelai Inn has been very lively during this time. It's doing better business than it has ever been.

I have to admit that Shang Xiuxun, the owner of the beauty farm, has his own decisions and skills in business.

Third floor.

A faint light in one room is reflected through the window.

From a distance, it is slightly hazy, but it also reflects the bright moonlight through the window.

"Huh?"

Yue Yuan, who was concentrating on drawing something, trembled slightly, turned his head sideways, and cast his eyes out of the window, and at the same time put down the brush with his right hand, stretched out his left hand, and held it from afar, and suddenly the air flow moved, and a suction force was generated from the palm. In a panicked cooing, a white dove was pulled in from the outside by suction and landed in the palm of his hand.

Flipping the white pigeon, Yue Yuan took down the letter paper tied to the white pigeon's leg, opened it and glanced at it, this is the news passed by Gongsun Lan, as for using such an unsafe way of transmission, it does not surprise Yue Yuan, because this is this method that Yue Yuan decided by himself, and what he asked for was that uninsured.

In other words, if you use the more confidential contact information in the past with red shoes, it is not what Yue Yuan wants.

swept the words on the letter paper into his eyes, and then Yue Yuanren groaned. He picked up the brush that had been prepared next to him, added a few words to it, and then stuffed the letter paper back into the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, and threw the pigeon away.

Seeing the carrier pigeon fly into the night, the corners of Yue Yuan's mouth raised slightly, and he turned his head to continue the previous thing.

on the table.

A half-finished painting is on display.

A rough outline has been drawn with pen and ink, and the outline is not a landscape painting, but a portrait. A few simple strokes, in Yue Yuan's hands, the characteristics of that character have been outlined, just in terms of technique. The current Yue Yuan is enough to call everyone, and this does not include his martial arts cultivation.

The movements of his hands were neither fast nor slow, splashing ink at a constant speed, and Yue Yuan's face showed a rare hint of excitement.

This excitement is comparable to the mood he felt when he painted for Li Shimin.

Even after going through so many things, Yue Yuan still had a hint of excitement at this moment, except for those women who were indebted, such as the Red Lian Fairy, Yue Yuan had always felt that he rarely showed signs of emotional fluctuations, especially when he practiced the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa. After martial arts reached an extremely high level.

But when Yue Yuan made this portrait, he still couldn't avoid the feeling of excitement.

It's the thrill of finding an opponent.

To know that when martial arts reached the realm of Yue Yuan, he almost had no opponents, except for the immortal Buddha and those divine beasts who didn't know where they were. The only thing left is himself and his entangled confidante. And right now, this sign of Yue Yuan is undoubtedly telling him that he has found an opponent.

Yes.

This feeling was the first feeling Shang Xiuxun had when he saw Yue Yuan after stepping into the room.

After following his gaze and stopping at the portrait, Shang Xiuxun's face became a little surprised.

I was surprised by Yue Yuan's painting. I was even more surprised by the appearance of the person in the portrait.

You must know that even if she is Shang Xiuxun, when Yue Yuan was chatting with his father Lu Miaozi at Pegasus Ranch, she had never seen Yue Yuan paint with a pen. Even from Wei Zhenzhen's mouth, he only knew that Yue Yuan had learned the carving skills of a small noodle seller in a county town. But she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

Now, it is Shang Xiuxun's first time.

Seeing this, Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how much is hidden by this man in front of him, and how many secrets are unknown?

Secondly, the appearance of the person painted by Yue Yuan this time is really weird.

The people in the portrait make Shang Xiuxun feel a sense of familiarity, but there is also a strangeness, an extreme sense of contradiction and incongruity. If you don't know the roots of Yue Yuan, you are afraid that you will laugh at the first sight, and the level of this painting is ...... It's not the technique, it's that the person who draws it is too weird.

Yes, it's weird.

But Shang Xiuxun won't.

With her understanding, Yue Yuan would not do such a shameful thing. Yue Yuan's speed of swinging the pen is extremely slow, as if there are tens of millions of catties of brush in his hand, and it is as heavy as ten thousand pounds in his hand, and it is extremely laborious to wield. For a long time, the tip of the pen only moved a little distance on the drawing paper as a final embellishment.

Shang Xiuxun didn't come forward to disturb, just stood quietly and watched.

Liu frowned slightly, the more she looked at Shang Xiuxun, the more she felt that this portrait was weird, the portrait gave her a sense of familiarity, but that strangeness was still there, the person in the painting seemed to know, but it seemed that she had never seen it, and for a while Shang Xiuxun was also full of memories to think about whether she had seen the person in the painting.

Half a day.

Shang Xiuxun, who had been thinking to no avail, finally gave up this desire to seek answers, and seeing that Yue Yuan was still concentrating on painting, she waited for a while and then stepped aside, wanting to pick up the teapot and add a cup of hot tea. It's just that when Shang Xiuxun walked behind Yue Yuan and picked up the teapot, somehow, Shang Xiuxun suddenly turned his head and looked behind Yue Yuan, half of his eyes were on Yue Yuan's back, and half on the portrait that was half blocked by Yue Yuan.

“！！！”

This is!!!

At this moment, Shang Xiuxun was stunned.

She didn't recognize the whole portrait when she looked at it, but she never expected that when the portrait was half blocked, Shang Xiuxun recognized the person on the painting. As Shang Xiuxun's stunned gaze stopped, he saw that the brush in Yue Yuan's hand also added a stroke to that half of his face, and under his nose, an eyebrow was added to his lips.

The person with this half face is the world-famous Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows.

The whole face he had just seen flashed in his mind, and Shang Xiuxun finally discovered why he felt so weird and absurd when he saw this painting just now, because only half of the face of this portrait was Lu Xiaofeng's, and the other half of the face was another person.

She also knew the other half of the face.

It was the person she had also visited at the beginning, Ye Gucheng, the master of Baiyun City, who had learned the Flying Immortal Sword Technique outside the sky.

Half Lu Xiaofeng and half Ye Gucheng, no wonder it makes people feel weird together, there is a strange incongruity, just because the other party is simply two people.

Why did Yue Yuan make such a painting?

For a while, Shang Xiuxun groaned.

Meanwhile.

In another place, several figures stood proudly in the darkness.

“……”

A leisurely sigh sounded in the darkness, "I didn't expect that I, Ximen Blowing Snow, would have such a sneaky day!" "All along, he Ximen blowing snow is a righteous and bright action. Even if it is a murder, it is to burn incense and bathe, and kill the past with dignity.

This is the first time to meet people in such a sneaky way.

Ximen Fuxue decided in his heart that if Lu Xiaofeng didn't give a satisfactory answer, then there was no need to leave another whisker on the corner of Lu Xiaofeng's mouth.

"I agree too!"

The reply was Hua Manlou, although for him there was not much difference between night and day. But it is still extremely rare to have such a sneaky and strange action as today, especially when there is also a Ximen Blowing Snow, the owner of Wanmei Villa.

"Huh!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, and stroked the remaining whiskers on his lips with one hand, looking quite distressed.

However, Ximen Blowing Snow and Hua Manlou both know that the reason why Lu Xiaofeng can be so cautious must not be simple, except for the people who need to be dealt with, it is not simple, and the rest is that the identity of the person who needs to meet today is not simple.

Or both......

Soon.

A hissing sound like a snake spitting out a letter sounded in this quiet place where only the sound of insects chirping.

Instantly.

This hissing sound has already attracted the attention of Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue and Hua Manlou.

"How could it be you?"

As Lu Xiaofeng's puzzled voice sounded, the three of them turned around together and looked at the source of the sound. As far as Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Fuxue could see, a black figure appeared in the corner at some point, and the snake-like hissing sound just now came from this person's body.

"The Snake King!"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the person who came, even if the other party covered his head and face, he still called out the other party's name.

The Snake King, the boss of Yangcheng Road.

is a righteous person, and he is also Lu Xiaofeng's few friends.

There is no doubt that the Snake King is not surprised that Lu Xiaofeng appeared in the capital, after all, his fake death spread all over the rivers and lakes before, and it was his friend who cared about it, and with the attitude of the Snake King, he would come to the capital. But it was not strange for the snake king to appear in the capital, but his appearance here made Lu Xiaofeng stunned.

This place should not be the place where the Snake King appeared.

did not answer Lu Xiaofeng's question, even if Ximen Fuxue's right hand had already touched the hilt of the sword, the cold and piercing chill made people feel that this night had entered the cold winter in advance, and the snake king only had an astringent smile on his face.

With the movement of his hand, the hood covering his head was lifted off by the Snake King, revealing the somewhat pale cheeks, which were the eldest Snake King on Yangcheng Road.

Looking at his sad face, he told Lu Xiaofeng that the snake king was not willing to come here, but was coerced.

Facing Lu Xiaofeng's surprised gaze and Ximen's guarded eyes, as well as Hua Manlou's doubts, the snake king said with a smile: "Lu Xiaofeng, I don't want to see you here, but I feel a lot more relieved to see you safe and sound!" ”

“……”

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, his face looked very ugly, and said, "What about others?" (To be continued......)
