When the first emperor Beigong Chengyan was still alive, he was bent on the peace of the world, even if he crossed the country in a thousand ways, he also endured it again and again, but why didn't he Beigong Yu want the world to be peaceful? It's just that Xia Xiaoxiao doesn't understand, where there are people, there will be disputes, and where there are disputes, there are so-called divisions and mergers, and the unification of the world, not only Beigong Yu is thinking, but none of the other five countries is not thinking about it.

In winter, on such a cold day, in such a high place, you can faintly hear the sound of the long eagle singing in the distant mountain stream, which directly covers the soft chirping of the finches on those trees, and Beigong Yu's eyes are not looking at the ginkgo tree nearby, but the unknown place through the fog in the distance.

"It's not that I haven't thought about talking about cooperation, birds die for food," Beigong Yu's gaze fell under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard, and suddenly asked her, "Xiao Xia'er, do you remember the story I once told you?" ”

"Which one?"

Xia Xiaoxiao also looked at the ginkgo tree in the courtyard, the last time she came, the ginkgo tree was also full of a whole bunch of ginkgo leaves, but now it is winter, the leaves on the tree have long been empty, and only a few small finches on the bare trunk are still squeaking on it, Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that the last time she came here, Beigong Yu did tell her a very short story under that tree, she asked which one, in fact, in the past few years, Beigong Yu has only told her such a story, she said softly while recalling, " Barely remember some. ”

She remembered that Beigong Yu was telling a story about love, and the woman was finally destroyed by a man, Beigong Yu only said the beginning at the time, but did not tell her the end of the story, but now that she thinks about it, Beigong Yu didn't even tell her the beginning completely.

"I don't know how much you remember what I said." Beigong Yu glanced at her, as if he was thinking about something, and opened his mouth for a long time, "It is rumored that there are strange beasts in ancient times, dragons and phoenixes, phoenixes and phoenixes, phoenixes need to bathe in fire, and Luan is immortal, the woman I once told you is not a person, and what she left in the world is not only wealth, but a totem, seven hundred years ago, the world was united for a long time, but overnight, the totem broke into six, the world was in chaos, and it was divided into six countries today. The world will eventually be united. ”

Listening to Beigong Yu's seemingly bland words, Xia Xiaoxiao took a deep breath of cool air that filled the air inaudibly, with no expression on his face, but there were turbulent waves in his heart, I don't know if it was because of the unification of the world that Beigong Yu said, or the broken totem he mentioned.

Turning her head in shock, Beigong Yu was staring at her with her eyes, Xia Xiaoxiao hurriedly suppressed the shock in her heart, "It's just a rumor, why is it so true?" There is no such thing as this in this world. ”

Beigong Yu seemed to know that she would say this, and chuckled, "What the world wants, do you know what it means?" ”

What the world wants, but what everyone thinks in their hearts will always be different, Xia Xiaoxiao shook his head, looked at Beigong Yu's side face, Beigong Yu looked into the distance, there was a faint light outside the window on his face, plated with a layer of bright frost, a little bit of ** in his eyes flashed, the eyes were deep and unpredictable, refused but infatuated, he raised his lips slightly, the smile at the corner of his mouth was arrogant and uninhibited, slightly opened his lips, Xia Xiaoxiao heard him say, "The things that people in the world want the most, power, wealth, immortality." ”

Beigong Yu's voice fell, he turned his head to look at her, his eyes were filled with Xia Xiaoxiao's palpitating pride, it was obviously cold, there was no stove in the house, but Xia Xiaoxiao's forehead was oozing dense sweat, she could almost feel the oppressive momentum exuded by Beigong Yu's body, the one who got the totem has what the world wants, this sentence, Yun Ji also told her, she hesitated, "If that thing really exists, do you also want those six totems?" ”

"It's desire, why don't I want it?" Beigong Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked rhetorically, "When a person has nothing to susten, then he will have **, infinite**, because he has never had anything, so he will want to get the whole world, Beigong Pheasant, I and him, all belong to such people." ”

His voice was not loud, and when the four words of Beigong Pheasant Li fell on Xia Xiaoxiao's ears, her breathing was obviously stagnant for a moment.

"If it helps me get what I want, maybe I want it too." Xia Xiaoxiao took a step forward, put her hand on the edge of the window, a bell rang outside, and the finches that were staying on the ginkgo tree flew away with their wings one after another, and the crisp and pleasant chirping was still floating in her ears, she glanced down slightly, turned her head to stare at Beigong Yu, and said slowly, "The three things I want the most, rivers and lakes, leisurely, and people who love me." ”

She didn't know why Beigong Yu suddenly said this to her, and she didn't know if Beigong Yu knew that there was a totem in her hands, and it stopped, and now she can probably know that what he came back to find was the totem, but, Beigong Yu believed, but Xia Xiaoxiao never believed in these things, if you can get what Beigong Yu said just by collecting the totems, wouldn't everyone fight for that totem?

Thinking about this, Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned, could it be that Beigong Yu's attack on Yue Guo this time was also because of this totem?

A hint of surprise flashed in Beigong Yu's eyes, but it seemed that this answer was what he expected, he pursed his lips and smiled slightly, staring at Xia Xiaoxiao, his hand reached over, stroked Xia Xiaoxiao's slightly cool cheeks, his eyes were deep, as if they could suck people's souls, Xia Xiaoxiao almost forgot to resist, Beigong Yu's deep voice seemed to be magnetic, "Except for the first one, I can give you the rest." ”

"But for me, the first one is the most important."

The world is big, for Xia Xiaoxiao, nothing is more important than the freedom of the rivers and lakes that she wants to aspire to, just like Beigong Yu, in his heart, nothing can compare to his world, from the beginning, they are different.

Outside the door, Wu Xi didn't know when he appeared at the door, Beigong Yu glanced at it and slowly withdrew his hand behind him, Xia Xiaoxiao took a step back consciously, this distancing move fell in Beigong Yu's eyes, his eyebrows were slightly provoked without a trace, he stared at Wu Xi at the door with a little displeasure, and walked out, "Rest, I'll come back later." ”

Wuxi held his breath, Beigong Yu only dared to come to the house after leaving, and put Xia Xiaoxiao's luggage on the table before saying, "This is the girl's luggage, the emperor will stay in Yong'an Temple for a few days, and the girl will be waiting for her life," Wuxi secretly glanced at the direction in which Beigong Yu left, glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao, and quietly changed his title, "Niangniang, let the slave tell me smoothly, and finally get out of the palace once, you can grasp it, maybe the emperor will carry you again after returning to the palace this time." ”

"Pingshun, this guy really has bad ideas."

Xia Xiaoxiao took the burden, Wuxi had no choice but to retreat, the two of them who were guarding the door glanced in, and were glared at by Xia Xiaoxiao, her luggage was taken over, and she had to live in the same room as Beigong Yu these days, Beigong Yu said that she would stay for a few days before leaving, but these days are a few days, Beigong Yu did not give a clear statement.

Sitting on the bed, she opened her baggage, and there were only two clothes, a simple women's dress, a men's dress, and the rest, her silver.

On top of the two clothes lying flat on the bed, the moon-white handkerchiefs were quietly stacked, and the magnolia flowers spread up from the lower left corner, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at it in a daze, and a trace of anticipation and excitement slowly rose in her heart.

It was late at night, and Rong Ce, the company battalion who had been guarding the door of Xia Xiaoxiao's house, did not see any signs of Beigong Yu's return.

Yong'an Temple in the night is still shrouded in clouds and mist, the only thing that can be distinguished is to look up from the foot of the mountain, you can still see the faint candlelight that flickers slightly in the clouds and haze, but you don't see the moonlight, you don't see the long ladder, the whole temple is like floating in the fairyland like a real fairy mansion.

Behind the middle hall of Yong'an Temple, there is another annex, in the whole Yong'an Temple, only this place does not see the slightest glimmer at night, even if the moon rises, it is still like a black pond.

"Beigong Pheasant has already arrived in Nanming, and the totem hidden in Nanming Kingdom, I'm afraid he will get it before you."

In the darkness, the man glanced at the person in front of him with a pair of silent eyes, as if he didn't care.

"I don't need you to remind me."

Beigong Yu twisted his eyebrows, and said in a low voice, only to hear the man sneer, "The owner of this building is not in a hurry, I am afraid that you will be in a hurry, because it is only because your two brothers are too slow to start that Yun Cheng spread the matter of the totem, and it has also wasted Beigong Chengyan's thoughts for so many years." It was obviously a cold day, but Murong Qianlian held a twelve-bone fan in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Now there are many people on the rivers and lakes who covet the matter of totems, and after two months, the leader of the martial arts alliance will be re-elected, Qingwumen, and Kemo will send several forces in the rivers and lakes to go, according to the owner of this building, I am afraid that the totem that disappeared on the rivers and lakes back then has also been turned over." ”

"The news of the owner of the Murong Mansion is really well-informed."

Beigong Yu stared at Murong Tinglian's bewitching face, and was vigilant in his heart, although Murong Tinglian looked like a little white face, Beigong Yu didn't dare to underestimate this man, no one in the rivers and lakes had never heard of the name of the Red Guest Building, and it had always been mainly based on selling intelligence, and also provided a variety of services, provided that as long as the price could be afforded, there was nothing that the Red Guest House could not do, naturally, this price was not only money, Murong Tilting never made a loss-making transaction, he naturally didn't believe that Murong Tilting would deliberately tell him these news this time, and, Beigong Yu did not forget that Murong Tinglian was the one who was separated from Beigong Pheasant.

"Beigong Yu, you don't have to be so nervous about the landlord, before the things are in hand, the landlord has to watch you and Beigong Pheasant leave to have a dragon fight, this is a good show, the landlord is waiting to finish it."

Murong Tianlian couldn't help but sneer, his eyes fell behind Beigong Yu, where a figure was hurrying towards the darkness here, "Your scumbags are really inseparable from you at any time." ”

Beigong Yu turned around, a gust of wind rose behind him, and Wuxi glanced at the suddenly disappeared figure behind Beigong Yu, and accelerated his pace even more.

"What's wrong?"

Wuxi looked panicked, couldn't even breathe, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Miss Xia is gone!" ”

Beigong Yuben's indifferent face sank suddenly, his already wrinkled brows wrinkled a little, he looked thoughtfully at the direction in which Murong Tianlian disappeared, turned his head and walked towards the backyard, tilted his head slightly and scolded angrily, "When did you not see it?" ”

"It should be when it's dark, and it's still there in the afternoon when my subordinates go down to deliver food."

Wuxi saw that Beigong Yu's face also panicked.

"What about the company camp Rongce? Didn't I tell you to keep it guarded? ”

Beigong Yu's steps became faster and faster, and it didn't take long to arrive at the room where Xia Xiaoxiao had always lived, Rong Ce went out and sent someone to search for people, there was only one person in the house, and at this time, he was looking under the bed with a fluke mentality, hoping that Xia Xiaoxiao was actually hiding in this house, and when he turned around, he saw Beigong Yu kneeling directly on the ground, "Your Majesty, your subordinates are guilty!" ”

Beigong Yusao didn't even glance at it, and went straight to the room, the room was already empty, and the tea on the table was already cold.

Wuxi glanced at the company camp kneeling on the ground, "Back to the emperor, a few of his subordinates have been guarding, not leaving an inch, in the afternoon Miss Xia said that she wanted to rest after dinner, so no one dared to go in to disturb, until Fang Cai's subordinates noticed that something was wrong, but as soon as they went in, they found that the window was open." ”

This room is the second floor, and the second floor of Yong'an Temple is not more than other places, not to mention six or seven zhang high, if a person like Xia Xiaoxiao who has no kung fu foundation jumps, he must be disabled.

Beigong Yu strode to the window, only to see that the bedding and fabrics that disappeared on the bed were all torn into ropes and hung, he suddenly remembered that when Xia Xiaoxiao stood beside him this morning, a pair of eyes had been staring at the bottom, it turned out that she was not looking at the scenery, but estimating how high it was from here to the ground!

Beigong Yu landed on the windowsill with a palm, his face was so cold that he was shocked, and the long rope that was tied to him was broken, "What are you still doing in a daze!" Don't go find someone yet! The foot of the mountain is sealed by me, and no one is allowed to enter or leave until people find it! ”

Wuxi and a few people trembled in their hearts, and they wanted to retreat to find someone, but then Rong Ce hurried in, "Your Majesty, a little monk from my subordinates said that I saw Miss Xia go to the foot of the mountain at the time of the unitary time. ”

At the time of unitary, Wuxi glanced at the sky, and it was all the time at this time! Two exactly two hours!

Beigong Yu swept with a sharp eye, "Go to the foot of the mountain and ask the guards who are guarding, if you don't find someone for me tonight, you don't have to come back!" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone retreated and did not dare to delay, they were all separated by two hours, if the people really ran away, where should they search? But who would dare to disobey Beigong Yu's order?

"Xia Xiaoxiao!"

People go, only Beigong Yu was left in the house, he stared at the cloth rope that fell outside the window, the anger in his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, he underestimated her, no wonder she was so obedient along the way, she didn't move at all, it turned out that she didn't move, she just wanted him to relax, but it is undeniable that Xia Xiaoxiao's trick really made Beigong Yu planted, there is only one entrance and exit of the entire Yong'an Temple, and there are guards guarding under the mountain, he thought that Xia Xiaoxiao didn't have the calculation of escaping on the road, and it was impossible to get here, Unexpectedly, she was quite bold, and the thought of escaping in her mind never disappeared for a moment!

There is no moon tonight, once you cross the temple around, it is pitch black, the red candles in the house are flickering, the windows are wide open, and the cold breeze blows in, Beigong Yu came to the sandalwood table, picked up the herbal tea left in the cup with half a cup in his hand, and caressed his fingertips on the rim of the cup, but his eyes burst with a cold light, and he came back with the news after a while, "Your Majesty, the guards guarding the mountain said that they didn't see Miss Xia go down the mountain." ”

Just now he went down to ask, and they all said that no one had ever gone down the mountain before today's midnight, but this was strange, the little monk clearly said that he saw Xia Xiaoxiao go down the mountain, and he didn't see anyone come back later, could it be that this person could still disappear out of thin air?

Beigong Yu heard this, and the chill on his face became colder and colder, "Have you searched all the temple?" ”

"I searched everything, and even the incense rooms elsewhere were searched, but I didn't see any trace."

Wuxi could almost see the green tendons on Beigong Yu's hand holding the cup burst out, and finally, in a crack, the white porcelain teacup was shattered in Beigong Yu's hand, and the porcelain pieces fell to the ground with a bang, splashing water stains on the ground, Wuxi exclaimed, "Your Majesty, your subordinates will order the Venerable Master to find it from the temple." ”

"Call that little monk to me, Xia Xiaoxiao, let me catch me back, I won't break your legs!"

Saying that, Beigong Yu strode out, and the corner of Wuxi's eyes swept at the fragments that fell to the ground and almost shattered into slag, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, people were not seen under the guard of these minions, and he was really afraid that Beigong Yu would be furious, and it should be him who turned into scum.

However, after the little monk interrogated, there were no clues, and Lianying Rongce and the others rushed to report, but they did not find any trace of Xia Xiaoxiao.

As if he really disappeared out of thin air, Beigong Yu frowned tightly, and when Wuxi saw Beigong Yu's face, he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, and was busy beckoning people to find it.

Beigong Yu looked in the direction of the Yong'an Temple Annex, and the hand behind him was clenched tightly, with Xia Xiaoxiao's ability, it was impossible to run out at all, unless Murong was tilting

Thinking of this, Beigong Yu squinted slightly, "Wuxi, bring my horse over." ”

As soon as he heard Beigong Yu's words, he knew that Beigong Yu planned to go down the mountain in person, so he hurriedly persuaded him, "Your Majesty, the subordinates have ordered to go down to find people, and the Yecheng official mansion has sent someone, you"

"Don't go yet!"

Beigong Yu snorted, and he wanted to speak, but when he saw the anger and worry in Beigong Yu's eyes, he immediately swallowed it, he had followed Beigong Yu for so many years, and naturally knew Beigong Yu's temperament, during this time, he saw with his own eyes how much Beigong Yu valued Xia Xiaoxiao, except when he was doing important things, he didn't let Xia Xiaoxiao leave him half a step away from him at all times, and the person suddenly disappeared at this moment, not to mention him, I'm afraid that no one in this temple would have a hard time, and he didn't dare to say anything at the moment, so he hurriedly went to lead the horse over.

Beigong Yu turned over and got on the horse, kicked his legs the horse's belly, and the horse made a long roar in the middle of the night, and he didn't care about this time on the Yong'an Temple, and jumped straight on the thousand-step ladder that went down, and Wuxi immediately rode on the horse and chased after him.

The night was hazy, Beigong Yu's hand was gripping the reins, looking at the long road at the foot of the mountain, if it was Murong Tinglian, then what was the purpose of him coming to take Xia Xiaoxiao? Could it be that Beigong Pheasant is leaving?

Yes, there is only this possibility, as long as Xia Xiaoxiao gets involved in the matter of Beigong Pheasant, his eyes will shine!

"Drive!"

Beigong Yu screamed, his eyes were firmly fixed on the thick fog in front of him, and his figure disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye, this silent night, because of Xia Xiaoxiao's disappearance, became noisy and noisy, those pilgrims who temporarily lived in the temple because of Beigong Yu's search before, no one had any sleep, Master Pure Law stood at the entrance of the hall, looked at Beigong Yu's gradually disappearing figure, suddenly turned his head, looked at Xia Xiaoxiao's room, sighed softly, and then turned around and walked to the main hall, and began to recite Buddhist words again.

Xia Xiaoxiao only thought that she was lucky, but she didn't expect Beigong Yu to think that she was taken away by Murong Tianlian, but no matter what the process was, she escaped this catastrophe.

Walking straight from the road of Yong'an Temple, the only place that can be reached is Yecheng, Beigong Yu personally took people to the direction of Yecheng to find her, this Yong'an Temple, full of calculations, only less than four Beigong Yu's people were left to guard.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't know what was going on outside, so she gently moved the boxes under the bed to open the cracks, and through the cracks under the bed, at a glance, it was the white porcelain teacup that Beigong Yu had thrown under her anger before, to be honest, Beigong Yu's angry appearance and cruel words really scared her, and she almost screamed out at the bottom of the bed.

It wasn't until Beigong Yu left outside that it gradually quieted down after an hour, and the candles in the room had already been blown out by the cold wind, and it was pitch black, Xia Xiaoxiao moved the wooden boxes used to hide her body one by one out of the bed, and climbed out carefully with her body that was numb from the cold on the ground, wearing the only men's clothes she brought over.

Xia Xiaoxiao patted her chest with some fear, she thought that she could reduce their search by hiding in this room, after all, the illusions she made were still easy to mislead, as soon as she came out, Xia Xiaoxiao kicked the wooden boxes under her feet, fortunately, although the space under the bed was not large, but she could hide her alone, when she even leaned down to search, she really almost thought that the game was over, but fortunately, she was smart and kept a hand, and stuffed the large and small wooden boxes in the wardrobe under the bed, That's why he didn't see it.

She tiptoed, carrying her own baggage and walking out, and in the hour she hid after Beigong Yu left, those who were woken up gradually fell asleep, and the aisle was quiet.

She knew that Beigong Yu would look for her if she was gone, but she didn't expect Beigong Yu to go to such great lengths to find her with great fanfare, Beigong Yu is smart, but she Xia Xiaoxiao is not stupid, Beigong Yu is guarded everywhere in Yong'an Temple, although it is not as rigorous as in the imperial city, but it is still like an iron cage for her, how can she escape openly?
