Seven days later.

Outside the city of Luoyang.

Deep in the bamboo forest.

Lu Qingyu, Fan Jia, Ye Qiuchi, Yu Dongqiu, and Zhuo Yingqiao were in parallel.

The shade in the forest is refreshing, the leaves are falling and the leaves are Xiaoxiang, and occasionally the bluebird passes by, and the cicadas whimper. Not far away, there is a gazebo, which is a place to rest.

After Lu Qingyu and the four of them sat down, Ye Qiuchi turned his sleeves and sat on the ground, with the light stone piano on his lap, and stroked the song "Qingyun Lingxin Song", the jade fingers slowly wandered between the piano wires, accompanied by the faint purple light emitted by the strings, the sound of the piano was melodious and soothing, tactful and continuous, making people suspect that they were out of the world. If it weren't for Lu Qingyu who was here, I was afraid that anyone would have to close their eyes and cover their ears, worried that their earthly body would defile this immortal divine comedy.

Lu Qingyu stared at Ye Qiuchi and never blinked, he never knew how to appreciate the beauty of women, in his eyes all women looked the same, but at this moment he really felt that Ye Qiuchi was so beautiful, such an intoxicated and confused expression, it was really touching, I felt pity. Only at this time can Ye Qiuchi really be herself! I don't know how many times I have been infected by such a piano sound, every time I hear Ye Qiuchi's piano, his heart will have a different throbbing, but after the throbbing, it will be surprisingly calm, this is probably the wonder of Ye Qiuchi's piano sound, 'Fanyue Fairy' is not a false name after all, it can instantly kill people invisibly, and it can also lead people to heaven.

Lu Qingyu couldn't help but think of the scene five years ago when this fifteen-year-old girl who was only fifteen years old knelt in front of him and asked him to take him in: at that time, Lu Qingyu asked her what would you do, and she simply replied that she could play the piano and kill people. Everyone present was taken aback, and when she saw that Lu Qingyu didn't react, she thought that he didn't believe in herself, so she casually plucked a string and let a disciple of Luoshen Palace die. After she killed someone, her hands were actually still shaking, and there was still a little panic in her eyes, but under Lu Qingyu's gaze, she changed to shyness. At that time, Lu Qingyu saw that it was actually her first time killing, and the old Cheng on her face was all pretended. How immature and innocent it used to be! And five years later, this girl seems to have grown into a shrewd and capable music and art house owner, a ruthless woman with incomparable scheming under the weak exterior.

Lu Qingyu sighed that the speed of transformation turned out to be so fast.

At this time, only a whistling sound was heard, which suddenly broke the harmony in the forest, and Ye Qiuchi's piano sound immediately contained a murderous aura, and all the people became alert. I saw a purple figure shuttling through the forest, the grace of the figure was like a butterfly dancing, but the speed of action was comparable to that of an eagle falcon hunting food, but it was a little more clear and agile than it. Before everyone came back to their senses, the purple figure shuttled away again, as if it was deliberately to show off his light skills.

After the purple shadow, a strange fragrance was left behind.

"This is not ......" Before Yu Dongqiu's words fell, Lu Qingyu's figure had already risen and chased towards the purple shadow: "You guys go first!" I'll catch up with you. ”

The purple shadow is very fast, and Lu Qingyu is chasing very hard behind. Chasing until nightfall, dotted with stars, through the golden rape fields, over the brown Quyu slope, the purple shadow still has no intention of stopping. Lu Qingyu only secretly said in her heart: "This woman is not only good at light skills, but also has good physical strength. "The purple shadow disappeared after entering a curtain of waterfalls in the deep stream, Lu Qingyu hesitated for a moment, thinking that woman can get in, why can't I go in? Thinking of this, he also plunged into the waterfall.

Behind the waterfall is indeed a cave. Rare and rare flowers are arranged, dotted with bright red corals, and polished eight-treasure bronze mirrors are hung on the stone walls, which not only makes the originally small space suddenly open, but also the dark and damp environment becomes warm under the illumination of red candles.

In the center of the cave, there is a very delicate table of eight immortals, and a few small snacks on the table are beautiful and delicious. The beauty is sitting, smiling like a flower. This person is Zihua Yuxin.

"Sure enough, it's you!" The expression on Lu Qingyu's face couldn't tell whether he was happy or disdainful.

"Did the Lord have already guessed that it was me?" Zihua hasn't seen her for a few days, and she is much more delicate, and her peerless face makes people can't bear to stare at.

"Didn't you deliberately spread that smell on your body just to lure me here?" Lu Qingyu waved his white placket and sat down opposite Zihua.

"Is that the smell?" Zihua didn't know when she had come to Lu Qingyu's side, pulled the placket on her chest a little, and immediately the quiet and elegant orchid incense pounced into Lu Qingyu's nose, at this moment, any man couldn't help but hug this orchid beauty, and after loving it, he couldn't wait to melt it into his body.

Lu Qingyu was also stirred up by this aroma, and her true qi surged. But he soon calmed down, because he knew that Gentle Village was the truth of Herotsuka, and he was not an ordinary man after all.

"Girl, it's better to be self-respecting!" Lu Qingyu turned sideways and let go of Zihua.

Zihua's face was flushed with a red tide, but she immediately retreated without a trace, and then smiled naturally: "I didn't expect that the Venerable Lord of Luoshen Palace, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, will be afraid of getting close to women, this is a big disappointment!" Then again, if you approach me with the mentality of subduing me, you will be in vain. Zihua sat back in her seat, "But if you want to talk to me about Fengyue, the little girl is happy to accompany you." The wine glass that Lu Qingyu handed to his lips paused again and said, "How do you know what I mean by coming?" ”

Zihua's eyes flowed, and she said unhurriedly: "I not only know your thoughts, but I also know that the tie on your placket has been tied in a dead knot. …… Scold! I don't know which careless and uninteresting girl is not long at all, but I don't know that her lord has always been quite feminine, and between the germination of lust, it is inevitable to loosen her clothes and untie them, if she is hindered by this dead knot, won't she be disappointed? ”

When Lu Qingyu heard him say this, he was anxious to confirm it, but he didn't care much, opened his coat to check, and found that the lacing of the inner placket was really tied with a dead knot, but he didn't notice it at all, and couldn't help but secretly exclaim. Thinking that her daily life is served by the butterfly, she doesn't want to be happy with other women when she ties a dead knot like this, but if he really wants to have fun with a woman, how can a dead knot stop it.

Zihua held her hands abruptly, glared at Lu Qingyu and said: "The Lord is really rude, in front of a weak woman like me, I am disheveled, if I am bumped into by a good deed and spread out, how will you let Zihua behave in the future?" ”

Lu Qingyu smiled helplessly: "You are also a weak woman?" Instead, he said, "Is that witchcraft?" And when predicting the death of Zhan Siye's mother, speculating on the location of Fu Xiqin, is it all witchcraft? ”

"That's just little witchcraft." Zihua replied.

"I see." Lu Qingyu got up and said, "It seems that the girl really has no intention of entering my Luoshen Palace,...... In this case, I will take my leave first if I still have important things to do, and I will set up a banquet to entertain me another day, so as to thank the girl for helping me win the artifact. ”

Zihua stood up and stopped in front of Lu Qingyu: "If I say that what Princess Ning Ke is setting up this time is a Hongmen banquet, does the lord still want to go?" ”

"What did you say?" Lu Qingyu pressed her palm on the table and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" You know that my men are gone. ”

Zihua didn't move and said, "Lord, haven't you always only cared about Xiaoxue?" When did he become so benevolent and righteous, and he still cared about the lives of his subordinates? ”

"You know everything about me, huh?" Lu Qingyu grabbed Zihua's wrist violently, "Tell you, in my eyes, they are all chess pieces, and they all have to live to help me get the chess pieces of the world." He let go of Zihua and rushed out of the water curtain.

Zihua said: "If you want to save them, you have to get out of here." As he spoke, he muttered a few words he didn't understand, and the stones on the stone wall behind him exploded, and two stiff men came out of it.

Lu Qingyu looked at these two people carefully, and couldn't guess their identities at all, but after looking at the weapons in their hands, he learned that these two people were Tuoba Yueyan, the valley lord of Fenhuang Valley, and Ji Zhongliu, who was called 'Chixia Youxian' by the people of the rivers and lakes. These two are both seniors with strong martial arts, but they disappeared twenty years ago, and there are no more rumors. Some people say that the two of them retired to the rivers and lakes, but Fenhuang Valley was originally a paradise on earth far from the world, and the "Chixia Immortal" was indifferent to fame and fortune, so how to talk about retreat? Another theory is that the two of them went together to find the mysterious island in the North Sea, and since then they have not returned, and have not been heard from since. If this legend is true, then Zihua Jade Heart has a great connection with the mysterious island. Who is this Zihua Jade Heart? Lu Qingyu was full of questions about this woman.

Zihua quickly poured two pills into the mouths of the two of them, and the pale faces of the two of them suddenly had a blood color, their stiff limbs became vibrant, and their dilated pupils were able to focus.

"You guys just have a good time with the famous Lord of Luoshen Palace!" Zihua ordered with a grin.

The two of them seemed to be ordered immediately, and they all showed their Fengyue knives and bamboo whips aimed at Lu Qingyu.

The excitement in Lu Qingyu's eyes rose again, not only was he not in a hurry to leave, but he wanted to fight this fight. He sarcastically said, "What an elegant and noble predecessor I must be!" It turned out to be just two incorruptible and shameless fat powder slaves. ”

"Your lord, what you said is wrong, these two seniors are not my ministers." Zihua also patiently defended herself.

"Then why do you listen to you like that?"

"Lord, don't you like to challenge the strong? If you have competed with the ancient beasts, don't you want to deal with the walking corpses? Zihua shrugged his nose at Lu Qingyu, and leisurely and elegantly raised his wine glass and prepared to watch a good show.

"I knew you had bad intentions, a witch." Lu Qingyu heard that it was a walking corpse, his confidence and fighting spirit were reduced by half, he also knew a little about the art of witchcraft, and knew that there was a way to control the corpse with Gu worms, as long as the Gu worms did not die, the corpse would not be damaged, and these two walking corpses were the top masters comparable to the master Snow Immortal, if he was alive, he would be reluctant to fight one enemy and two enemies, and now he has become a walking corpse that can't die, how should he get out?

Lu Qingyu thought that this was probably an unprecedented disadvantage for herself, so she couldn't help but pull off the posture and pour all her energy into staring at the two walking corpses.

At the same time, in the princess's mansion in Luoyang City.

The promenade is winding and full of flowers. A winding waterway goes straight to Tian'an Temple, and the red fish in the water are bright and lovely, shuttling endlessly; The birds pass endlessly, the trees on both sides of the bank show their posture, until they cross the Hongqiao, only to see the magnificent buildings and water pavilions, rockery waterfalls, and at this moment in the Tian'an Palace, it is the fairy music fluttering, and the wine is strong.

Princess Ning Ke sat in front of the screen of "Peony Blossoms", Yu Dongqiu and Ye Qiuchi, Fan Jia and Zhuo Yingqiao sat on the guest seats on both sides. On the red carpet in the center of the main hall, the beautiful Gong E was spinning and dancing hard, all of them were graceful, delicate and light, as if they had no weight. Everywhere the light yarn passes, it will leave a burst of erosive fragrance, which is the favorite taste of the palace people, it represents power and desire. And in such a drunken situation, it is easy for people to have a desire for power.

Yu Dongqiu watched the dance casually, and wondered why the Venerable Lord hadn't arrived yet. Of course, he knows the purpose of the princess's banquet, and also knows the reason why the lord is happy to accept it, the giant tower of power of the imperial court can not be climbed, all he can do is not to offend, and it is rare that Princess Ning Ke, the representative of power, takes the initiative to win over, proving that the imperial court is also optimistic about Luoshen Palace, they need Luoshen Palace to help them stabilize this river and lake that has no system at all, and Luoshen Palace also needs the strong social support of the imperial court to establish greater prestige, and there is such a thick relationship between the two of them. Naturally, we have to seize the timing. Of course, Yu Dongqiu also thought about whether this banquet would be a Hongmen banquet, but he thought that with the current power of Luoshen Palace, even if the imperial court had the intention of extermination, it would not have the power to exterminate, and if it really wanted to oppose Luoshen Palace, it would undoubtedly be asking for trouble. I think that if I were Emperor Yang, I would also try to win him over.

"I don't know if this palace is going to call you Yu Guard, or Yu Gongzi?" Princess Ning Ke asked Yu Dongqiu solemnly.

"It turns out that the princess also knows a little about the reckless predecessor in the next rivers and lakes!" Yu Dongqiu tried his best to suppress his tone, so as not to let the anger in it leak out unexpectedly. Indeed, Ning Ke's words undoubtedly touched his sore spot, not because he was angry that he didn't serve the emperor's food now, but because his predecessor must be associated with a woman, and this life and death enemy that he loved and hated was exactly the most painful in his heart.

"Back then, Prince Shao's subordinates had both cultural relics, and the suave Yu Dongqiu Yu guards were still chic even if they were in the rivers and lakes, how could they be reckless?" Ning Ke saw that Yu Dongqiu's face had changed, so he didn't ask any more questions. Then he changed the topic and said: "The Venerable Lord of Luoshen Palace is the guest of honor at this banquet, how come he is not here yet, is it possible that he looks down on this palace as a little princess?" ”

As soon as Ning Ke's words came out, everyone was shocked, and the dishes and chopsticks in their hands stopped, not knowing how to answer. Yu Dongqiu arched his hand and said: "Princess, here's the thing, on the way we came, we met a woman in purple, the woman claimed to be the number one beauty today, and after speaking, she disappeared into a shadow, and we were all angry, everyone knows that the first beauty of the day is none other than the princess, the woman does not know the height of the sky, arrogant, our lord is going to arrest her to see the princess, let her have a good understanding of what is called the country and the city, so that she is convinced, who knows that the woman is very high, Our lord couldn't hold her for a while, so he had to chase after her, which is why he missed your feast. ”

Although Ning Ke knew that this was slapping her ass and covering up for Lu Qingyu, she still couldn't help laughing: "What a far-fetched reason!" …… But I love to hear it. Then he asked, "What is the woman's appearance?" ”

"Well——, it's a bit beautiful, but compared to the princess's grace and elegance, and the country is beautiful, she is far behind." Yu Dongqiu replied with ease.

"I have heard that Yu Gongzi can speak well, and now I finally see it, I know that you are lying to me, and I am happy to hear it." Ning Ke was overjoyed for a while, and everyone was relieved, thinking that this Yu Dongqiu was worthy of being mixed in the officialdom, and his sleek and adaptable ability was really good, no wonder the lord was so important.

Yu Dongqiu said again: "Last time in Yunnan, because I didn't know the true face of Princess Lushan, I only made a few disrespectful remarks, and the girl who was a butterfly was even more offended, and I hope that the princess will ...... a lot."

"Where did Yu Gongzi say, the so-called 'those who don't know are not guilty', everyone walks in the rivers and lakes, not to mention who offended whom, if they all obey the rules and be cautious in their words and deeds like in the palace, it will be too detrimental to everyone's heroic spirit." Ning Ke was also polite.

At the end of the song, Ning Ke motioned for the dancers to step down, and everyone was wondering what she wanted, but they saw four young men and women coming in from the back hall of the main hall. The man at the head was the eldest, his expression was cold, his face was as yellow as a tree, and his eyes were surrounded by a heavy black halo because he had not slept for a long time. The woman in pink followed by her had a plain appearance and a peaceful expression, but her eyes showed a fierce glow from time to time, which made people shudder. Behind the woman was a white-clothed young man dressed as a scholar, with a delicate appearance and an extremely slender body, which looked like a woman at first glance, but such an appearance still could not make people ignore his white and powerful right hand, which might hold a sword, or a sword, or any kind of sharp weapon in the world. The scholar was followed by a man in a black cloak, whose messy hair and brim almost obscured half of his face, but the exposed half of his face was white and blue and extremely thin, and his jaw looked as if it had been cut by a knife. The four of them all knelt down in front of Ning Ke, and Yu Dongqiu looked at Ning Ke's smiling face, and had already guessed most of it in his heart.
