The most prosperous in the city is the royal city, and the most deserted is also the royal city, the magnificent palace is scattered, but in this palace of Daiwa, it is boundless loneliness.

Today, there are a few more people in the royal city, all gathered at the gate of the city, waiting for the arrival of two people.

Ye Tao Yang Han got out of the carriage, and saw Lu Shiming smiling and thinking that they had come over, he was in his forties, and he was in the prime of life, but on Lu Shiming's face, he caught a trace of vicissitudes, and the gray hair on his sideburns made him look more old than the adults of the same age next to him, and when he smiled, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were covered with fine lines.

"The two young heroes are here?"

Lu Shiming's voice was a little hoarse, but he tried his best to pretend that he was very relaxed, and the smile on his face was still gentle, Ye Tao and Yang Han were guilty, as juniors, they had never visited Lu Shiming when they arrived in God's City, but now he deigned to come to the gate of the royal city to greet them, which was really tormenting the two.

Ye Tao and Yang Han raised their hands to their chests, bent slightly, and Ye Tao said: "Our senior brothers and sisters came uninvited, and they harassed in the city for a few days, and I hope the city lord will not be surprised!"

Lu Shiming is undoubtedly amiable, he is also calm, more like an old man, calm and calm, and said sincerely: "The young man is serious, God's City has relied on the blessing of Wuzhi for hundreds of years, and this time the evil tiger in God's City has become a disaster, although it is difficult to say that it is the old man and the people of God's City who eat the evil consequences, but after all, so many people should not be sacrificed, so the old man also intends to turn to Wuzhi for help." “

"City Lord Lu, it's been more than ten days since the juniors heard about the tiger disaster?"

Yang Han recalled the woodcutter's words, since it had been more than ten days, why did he only think about asking for help from Wuzhi now.

Lu Shiming's eyes wandered, and he didn't know where to start, and only said quietly after a while: "To be exact, it should have started last year, but we didn't care." I thought that I would not be able to set off a storm at this time, but these tigers and leopards have suddenly and frequently attacked the people on the mountain recently, and the old man has become vigilant, he is really ashamed, ashamed......"

The voice gradually lowered, as if it was low to the dust, Ye Tao and Yang Han looked embarrassed, a tiger that had been gouged out of his heart, a repentant official of the underworld, something that had happened for a year.

Feng Xingyue couldn't bear to look at Lu Shi's frowning, and hurriedly greeted: "City Lord, it's better to take the two young heroes to sit first, if there is anything, we will discuss it later." “

Lu Shiming looked up at the sky at this time, and suddenly found that the sunlight was so vicious, and said guiltily: "I neglected the two young heroes, and I hope the young heroes will forgive me, please!"

"City Lord, please!"

In the garden of the royal city, after everyone was seated, Lu Shiming lifted the wine bottle on the table, the blue-gray bronze, the color was different, it was very fresh, and the tiger head pattern on the cup was also very rare.

Ye Tao picked up the wine bottle, but looked at the texture on the bottle and stopped, as if he was in a shady forest, towering ancient trees were growing one after another, covering the sky and the sun, and under the tree, a tiger was sleeping.

Lu Shiming looked at Ye Tao without drinking, and his heart sank, and he was slightly embarrassed.

"Ye Shaoxia, why don't you drink, but the old man is not thoughtful, and Shaoxia should not drink?"

Ye Tao came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said: "It's the rude of the juniors, it's just that I just saw the lines on this bottle, and I was a little fascinated, and I dared to ask the city lord, who carved the texture on this bottle?"

Lu Shiming brushed away the anxiety and embarrassment on his face, smiled, and the unconcealed affection in his eyes overflowed the corners of his eyes, and responded: "It's clumsy." “

"Madame can also carve?"

Hearing Ye Tao's words in surprise, and seeing his look of disbelief, Yang Han also curiously lifted the wine bottle to take a closer look, and then looked sideways at the wine bottle in Ye Tao's hand, frowning slightly, Ye Tao's quiet lying was a tiger, but his was a yellow bird sleeping on the tree.

Yang Hanxin said: "This lady seems to be very fond of birds and beasts. “

Lu Shiming's words drifted in his ears from time to time.

"There are three in the cheap, one is good at dancing, one is good at carving, and the other is the mother of the world, which is the most precious gift from God to the old man. “

The most precious, the mother of the world, the three wives who raised eyebrows with him, it turns out that there is also a distinction between respect and inferiority, but this is also human nature!

"That's it, family affairs can't be moved to the lobby, and talk about the tiger trouble, the two young heroes came this time, but the head of Ziyang has an explanation?"

Ye Tao and Yang Han's eyes met for a moment, and he didn't intend to tell the truth, "Senior Brother in charge didn't make any arrangements. “

Lu Shiming still forced a smile when he heard this, "The astrologer has already told the old man that the stars have fallen, and the city is in danger!"

He's got it all!

Feng Xingyue got up and walked to the middle, raised her hand and hugged her fist and said: "This matter is related to the safety of the people of God's City, Feng only hopes to get the help of the two young heroes." “

Ye Tao and Yang Han both knew that they could not shirk this matter, but if they wanted the tiger trouble to stop, they had to lead him to appear first, otherwise everything would be fruitless after all.

Less than an hour after sitting down, Ye Tao and Yang Han got up to say goodbye, and Feng Xingyue also got up together, holding a knife in front of the two.

Ye Tao smiled lightly and asked, "Lord Feng, what is this?"

"Before dark, Feng will definitely escort the two young heroes back to the Tianshu House safely, but the important matter has not yet been said. Feng Xingyue was serious, Yang Han and Ye Tao had no choice but to stop, and when they looked back, Lu Shiming was also at a loss.

"Lord Wind, what is this?"

Lu Shiming got up slowly, confused.

Feng Xingyue looked at the figure of the city lord, bowed her head slightly, and immediately asked categorically: "Please forgive Feng for his courage, the two young heroes seem to be hiding something!"

Yang Han asked rhetorically: "Lord Feng knows everything, why bother asking?"

The corners of Feng Xingyue's lips trembled, and her heart was entangled, and she said: "Because the two are Ziyun Elder Senior Disciples, I believe that even if the two of them hide something, it must be for the sake of the city lord, but this matter is very important, Feng still hopes that the two young heroes will trust Feng and tell them all." “

"Lord Feng is serious, my senior brother and I don't distrust Lord Feng, it's just that we don't know who that person is. “

"I don't know?"

Feng Xingyue locked her eyebrows, and her mind suddenly stagnated for a moment, Ye Tao said: "Lord Lu, dare to make a request, can you meet Mrs. for a while, a good carver." “

Lu Shiming and Feng Xingyue looked at each other, and couldn't guess Ye Tao's mind for a while.

Nine ridges.

As the most respected monarch of Jiuzhi, Jiutianjun is already a 10,000-year-old immortal, with white flowing beards, gray and white robes, and wrinkles between his eyebrows and eyes like ravines.

The Nine Heavenly Monarchs, who had always been accustomed to the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, suddenly summoned the Nine Peaks Immortals, just because the Moon Throat and the Canghai were already ready to move.

Facing the two disciples sent by Wuzhi, Jiutianjun was not very happy, but he also said a meaningful word, "Wuzhi and Wan Kill are originally born from the same root, Jiu Zhi has had conflicts with Wan Kill many times before, this time Jiu Zhi is difficult, if you don't want to involve Wu Zhi, you don't need to alarm the head of Ziyang and Elder Ziyun!"

Born from the same root?

Jiang Qi and Sai Xian didn't know what the relationship between Wan Kill and Wuzhi was, but the two factions had always had close contacts.

The priest was puzzled: "Wan Kill is the Demon Domain, what does it have to do with Wuzhi, if you want to say that the relationship is close, it is better for Wuzhi and Jiuzhi to be closer." ”

Qing Jun closed his eyes and said silently, lamenting in his heart: "The same root can only be born of Wuzhi and Wan Kill, the relationship between Ziyun and Ice Hell cannot be erased, and the five and nine peaks are just the same qi and branches." “

Jiutianjun chuckled kindly when he heard this, and only after laughing did he say: "You little babies don't understand, there are many things that the elders haven't told you yet, so Lao Jun won't say much, but since Wuzhi has this intention, Lao Jun does have a reluctant request." ”

"Nine Heavenly Monarch, please speak. "Sai Xian and Jiang Qi fist do.

Jiutianjun stood up from the seat, and the two small servants next to him immediately stepped forward to help, and Qingjun and Nan Dunan looked worried, and they were busy standing up, and they saw Jiutianjun walking down the steps under the support of the two small servants, and came to Jiang Qi and the sacrifice in front of him.

Jiutianjun is not only the highest status immortal monarch of Jiuzhi, but also the elder, so suddenly, but the two brothers were tormented, and the two of them stood up from their seats in unison and paid homage to Laojun.

Jiutianjun raised his hand to stop the two, "Although I don't want to trouble Wuzhi, but I want to borrow Ye Xian's nephew's Qingling Sword to use it, and the power of the Qingling Sword can greatly reduce the damage of Jiuzhi." I wonder if the two virtuous nephews can bring a message to Elder Ziyang for Lao Jun?"

Jiang Qi and the sacrificial ancestors seemed to have unspeakable secrets when they heard this, and they did not agree, and the Nine Heavenly Monarchs were still kind and pleasant when they saw this. "This is indeed a bit embarrassing, it's just that, the two factions killed each other, how can there be any casualties, Wuzhi should not be remembered. ”

The sacrificial first said guiltily: "The revival power of the Qingling Sword that Senior Brother wears can indeed greatly reduce the damage of Jiuzhi, it's not that Wuzhi is unwilling to borrow it, it's just that Qingling recognized the Lord and left Senior Brother, even Elder Ziyun couldn't pull out this sword, let alone exert its power. ”

He Nan Ghost Immortal didn't believe it, and asked rhetorically: "It's really so magical, I want to see it!"

Jiang Qi saw that the tone of the Southern Ghost Immortal was not good, and he was unhappy for a while, he glanced at the Heavenly Sword in his hand, and said with a light smile: "The five Xuanjian are all recognized by the master, since the seniors don't believe it, why don't you borrow the Xuanjian in the hands of me and the second senior brother to try it and see if you can pull it out?"

Jiang Qi said and looked at the sacrificial first, the sacrificial first gave up the Xingyun sword, and dragged it over with the Southern Ghost Immortal, and looked at it in his hand for a while, the scabbard made of Xuantie was hidden in the edge, and the Southern Ghost Immortal exclaimed: "It is really a divine weapon!"

But when He Nan Ghost Immortal held the hilt of the sword and wanted to pull it out to see the true face, Xingyun Sword itself had a force to confront He Nan Ghost Immortal, no matter how much strength he used, Xingyun Sword did not move.

Jiang Qi said: "All the disciples of Wuzhi knew that these swords could only be opened by the master from the beginning of entering Wuling, Jiutianjun wanted to borrow the Qingling Sword, and Wuzhi was naturally willing to hand it over, but even Elder Ziyun and Yang Han had such a cordial relationship with the senior brother that they couldn't pull out the Qingling Sword, but I was afraid that no one in Jiuzhi would not be able to exert the power of the Qingling Sword." “

He Nan Ghost Fairy's eyes rolled and said with a sly smile: "Then why don't you let Ye Xian's nephew go to Jiuzhi?"

"Senior brother is in God's City, and he can't come in the near future. "Jiang Qi Dao.

When Jiutianjun heard this, he frowned slightly.

Lu Shiming agreed to let the second lady come to see the distinguished guest, but before the lady arrived, the bad news came first.

The slaves and maids ran to the garden crying, saying that a corpse had suddenly floated in the lotus pond, and it was the second lady.

The group hurried over, only to see a pale-faced woman lying on the edge of the lotus pond, the water on her clothes still flowing on the ground, and countless slaves and maids were already surrounded by her.

Feng Xingyue leaned over to probe the corpse, and said after a while: "City Lord, there is water in the abdomen, judging from the face of the lady, it was drowned last night." “

"Last night, I brought the maid who served the lady. Lu Shiming thought back to where she was last night, who was beside her, and suddenly shouted.

The maid trembled, did not dare to look directly at the corpse, and in the face of torture, she could only stammer: "City lord, but...... But...... Niang Niang is still ...... this morning."

"You said you saw Huan'er in the morning?"

Lu Shiming's eyes were angry, the maid nodded again and again, pointed to the golden hairpin on the corpse, and said: "Back to the city master, the slave maid is not mistaken, the golden hairpin on the maid's hair bun was put on by the slave maid." “
