The happy event is scheduled for the turn of spring and summer next year, and they have plenty of time to prepare.

When the rooster crowed, Duan Hongzhu woke up. The flickering green light that filled the room disappeared without a trace, and she rubbed her limbs, which were lying a little numb, and pushed open the door, seeing many familiar faces.

Everyone rushed up to her, surrounded her, and almost threw her up.

"Don't, my sister is a patient!" Duan Hongzhu shouted to stop.

"Ah Hong, try to think back to the time we met, and see if there will be any memory loss like Madam Lu." Lou Xue helped her still weak body and said eagerly.

"There is no shortage, there is no shortage, even the losing cards are still remembered clearly!" Duan Hongzhu hurriedly replied, unable to stand her affection, and pushed her to the side.

In the lobby, there were more than a dozen girls who were directly drunk and half-asleep on the seat, all of whom were from the drunken building.

The commotion approached, and the girls woke up one after another, and when they saw that it was a red candle, they all woke up completely as if they had been splashed with cold water, and supported each other to meet it.

The flowers on Jin Niang's head were crooked, and she grabbed the front of the women, grabbed Duan Hongzhu's arm, and looked her up and down, smiling.

She just wanted to say a few words of obedient congratulations, but suddenly saw Ding Ruoyu next to Lou Xue, and the smile on her face immediately froze. Last night, I only cared about fighting poetry and wine with Caihui, and I didn't notice the girl who came out at the end, and I didn't find out until this moment.

The hand holding Duan Hongzhu let go, and Jin Niang walked straight towards Ding Ruoyu, stopping close at hand, and said in surprise: "Your Highness Fuzhou?" ”

Ding Ruoyu was also taken aback and said, "The proprietress knows the floating boat? ”

She then smiled embarrassedly again, telling the other that she just happened to look alike.

The crowd fell silent, all looking at the two of them.

Jin Niang forcibly suppressed the confusion in her heart, and said to everyone with a smile: "People are dazzled when they are old, and they look bad for a while." ”

After entering the lobby together, her slightly frowning eyebrows have not been flattened.

After seeing the excitement, bypassing the maids who wore flowers and butterflies back and forth to clean up the hall, Ding Ruoyu went back to the backyard alone.

In the empty corridor, Lu Shi and Ling Shan stood there talking in a dignified manner, not knowing what trespassing was or avoiding the eyes and ears of others.

Seeing Ding Ruoyu coming, the two pushed each other, and finally Lu Shi took a step forward, rubbed his hands and said, "Mrs. Ding, can you take us to see the ancestor?" ”

Ding Ruoyu pointed casually: "His house is over there." ”

"No, no, we know," Lu Shi said with a little unscrewed face, "please go with me." ”

"Is something wrong with you?" Ding Ruoyu said suspiciously and walked in the forefront.

"Well, this ...... It's hard to say. Ling Shan walked at the end, and his voice was as small as a mosquito humming.

Lihong's door, as always, forgot to latch, and opened it with a slight push, and he lay on the ground like a dead dog, sleeping in a messy and ugly position, clutching a book in his hand, another corner leaking out from under him, and a book on his head. The lamp on the cabinet has not been cut all night, and I don't know when it will be extinguished.

Ding Ruoyu's face was flushed with shame, and he felt extremely embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to dig a crack in the ground and get into it.

"Any of you, go and wake him up." She didn't even want to come closer.

Ling Shan looked at Lu Shi, who cast the domineering eyes of the demon prince, so he had to step forward and push the person sleeping on the ground.

Li Hong got up slowly, the book fell on his lap, his eyes moved down, looked at the three pairs of feet that suddenly appeared in front of him, and said coldly: "You don't know how to take off your shoes before entering my house?" ”

There were a few dirty footprints on the smooth and dust-free floor, and he could see the green tendons on his forehead.

At the door, a girl said weakly: "That...... I didn't get in the door. ”

Li Hong ignored her, pointed to the marks on the ground, raised his face and glanced at Lu Shi and Ling Shan respectively, and said in a calm tone: "Wipe it clean." ”

The two of them shuddered in unison, hurriedly threw their shoes out, and knelt down to wipe the floor with their clean sleeves.

Ding Ruoyu saw that her heart was empty, she vaguely felt that Lihong should not be an ordinary character in the demon clan, but she didn't dare to think that he could make the prince obey to such an extent.

Seeing that the marks on the ground were almost gone, he sorted out the scattered books and asked the visitor what was the matter.

"Last night there was a strange thing outside the stronghold, and in an hour he defeated everyone in the ruined building, and said that we have three days, and if we can't find one to fight again, we must all obey his command." Lu Shi gave a general description of what he encountered.

"Including the crown prince, they are not his opponents at all." Ling Shan interjected on the side, and was glared at by the other party.

Li Hong piled the book beside him, took a copy and flipped through it casually: "Is that person bald and big, and he also braided three pigtails the thickness of rat tails on the sides and back?" ”

"Yes, that's it!" Lu Shi and Ling Shan looked at each other, and then nodded vigorously.

"Although he is called a ghost slayer, he dares to provoke ghosts, snakes, and gods. This time, I only beat you, but I don't kill you, it seems that I have been instructed by someone. Li Hong folded a corner of the book and put it down, went to get other books, and said slowly, "He just wanted to find me through you, and you were really obedient, so you came as soon as possible." ”

"Couldn't the old ancestor defeat that ghost slayer?" Lu Shi was surprised.

"I'm not good at attacking people." Li Hong glanced at him, and continued to look for something in the book, "Have you seen a few weak scholars who can lift a sword and hurt people?" ”

Ding Ruoyu by the door almost laughed out loud and quickly covered his mouth.

"Then what should I do, do you really have to mess with the ghost slayer in the future?" Lu Shi was like sitting on pins and needles, writhing on the ground, restless.

"He is no longer interested in anyone who has fought once, that is, he will not kill any of you...... There's nothing wrong with messing around with him. He turned the page and made a rattling sound.

"Not good, not good at all!" Lu Shi boldly stepped forward and held down his book, there was more red light in his narrow eyes, and he said with a firm expression of determination, "The sky and the earth are big, and I, Lu Shi, only serve the ancestor and you alone!" ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't accept it, I don't like to fight people." Lihong let go of the book, looked at his scholar-like hands, and still shook his head in refusal.

Lu Shi turned his head and secretly glanced at Ding Ruoyu for help.

Ding Ruoyu smiled helplessly, stepped on the decorative moss on the stone next to the door and said, "He probably wants you to break into the other party's core first, and then take a step at a time." ”

"Is that so?" The strange feeling of being abandoned in Lu Shi's heart finally disappeared, and his face showed joy.

The book that he held in his palm was snatched away by Lihong, and he pointed out the door and drove them away without saying a word.

The two of them disappeared into the secret passage in the courtyard with a smile on their faces, and Ding Ruoyu walked in, sat next to him and said, "Is it right to speculate?" ”

"That's not right." Li Hong pulled a decorative ribbon on her head, tied it to her hair, and kicked open the book, "I didn't think about it that much. ”

Ding Ruoyu blinked his eyes blankly, and suddenly lowered his head and said, "Do you also think that I have too many thoughts?" ”

"You are who you are, whatever you are." Lihong said perfunctory, but it made her feel relieved, knowing that there was no need to deliberately change herself.

The turf in the courtyard was not properly tidied up, and the two looked at each other and sighed, and got up together and walked out.

The wind, too, is getting cooler, adding to the chill of the north.

"I heard from Fuzhou, the people who are still alive in the Demon Realm have all been gathered together by Prince Lushi, how can there be other invaders?" After paving the last piece of land, Ding Ruoyu couldn't help but ask.

They walked to the edge of the pool, looked at the various fish shuttling in the water, and said, "Five hundred years ago, when the first monarch disappeared, he took a large number of people with him at the same time. There are so many people, there is no trace of them for 500 years, and the Three Realms all think that they have completely disappeared, but they don't know how far they have developed secretly? ”

Does this have anything to do with the mysterious disappearance of the witches of the witch cult?

Ding Ruoyu listened, and his face changed: "That day...... Do you know what happened the day the pontoon gave me the crystal nucleus? ”

She finally asked the question she had most wanted to figure out in the past few months.

"When I became conscious, I had already escaped from the seal of the Netherworld Temple, and neither the floating boat nor the Heavenly Envoy who provoked this battle could be seen." He picked up a handful of soil with blades of grass from the ground and threw it into the fish pond, where the fish competed for it, but found that it was not bait, and finally scattered.

Ding Ruoyu looked at those fish, and also picked up a small pebble and threw it in, causing a circle of ripples.

"On the day of the witch cult, dozens of people also disappeared, I'm afraid it has something to do with the appearance of the first monarch of the demon clan." She said softly.

Perhaps since Mrs. Lu was deprived of her consciousness, some unknown plans have already begun.

"Is there anyone in the Obsidian Hall of the Witch Cult who has just turned twenty?" Li Hong suddenly asked thoughtlessly.

After a while, Ding Ruoyu pondered, "There is a man named Duan Lianggong. ”

"It turned out to be his ......" Li Hong copied the pool water to wash away the dirt on his fingers, and seeing that Ding Ruoyu was puzzled, he smiled slightly, "Duan Hongzhu's mother sacrificed twenty years ago, and her successor will appear later." If you guessed correctly, it was that Duan Liang bow. ”

Ding Ruoyu recalled what the other party said after the battle between the neighboring city and Duan Lianggong, and relayed them to Lihong one by one, and asked: "He said that the person will lift the restrictions set on him after he finishes his work at the end of the year, and choose the next target again to return him to freedom, isn't that true?" ”

"Nine times out of ten, they will be taught to sacrifice their lives so that the next person to be marked will appear." Leave Hong Huidao.
