There was a melodious copper bell outside the temple, Ling Chuyi sobbed, wiped away her tears, and looked back at the sky outside the temple.

The people of Yisang City also stopped what they were doing, came to the street, and looked at a black tower in Xicheng District. The Meita Tower has ten floors, about nine zhang high, and the bell is coming from the top of the Meizu Tower. People understand what the bell means, and the night of the empire will be taken over by a new envoy.

In the courtyard of the tower, the falcon fell to the ground, and no longer had the strength to get up. The mutated body gradually returned to normal, leaving only bloody fist marks all over its body. Xi's upper body was torn to shreds, his body was covered in bruises, and his limbs were wrapped in black shadow swirls, half-floating in the air. The black flame burned brightly in the right eye of the black ghost mask, like a hellish Shura.

Dawn fell back to the ground, slowly but surely, walked up to the falcon, stomped the falcon's head under his feet, and announced the end of the previous night.

Just as Xi was considering whether to simply step on the head of the exploding eagle, Shan Huaiyan, who was watching everything, rang the bronze bell at the top of the tower. Xi withdrew his feet, lifted his breath suddenly, stepped on the wall and jumped to the top of the nine-zhang tower, and came to Shan Huaiyan's side. At the bottom of the patio, two charms stepped forward and dragged the loser away.

The Shura of this city has changed hands.

Dusk came quietly, and the sunset sprinkled in the city. Wisps of smoke, old men beckoning playful children home, and enticing scents waft from street shops. On the Bustard River, the captain at the bow of the canopy is stewing fish. Winter is not the flowering season for river flowers, but the branches on the river bank still have the fragrance of flowers all year round. No matter who serves as the envoy of the Charm Department, it will not affect the peace and happiness of the Yisang people.

The war has raged in the Zhai River basin for too long, and the people here will not allow anyone to take their peace away. Therefore, the people of Xiling kept the charm and used the night war to defend the peace of the day. In a way, Mei will be a victim of peace.

The alley was dyed golden by the setting sun, and Ling Chuyi leaned against the gate of the dilapidated ancient temple, playing with the hem of her skirt.

"Yi'er!" a man shouted as he walked up the alley.

"Xi, you're here!" Ling Chuyi responded with a wave of her hand.

Xi came to Ling Chuyi with his hands behind his back, wearing a ghost mask, and his upper body was naked, revealing scars all over his body.

"You, are you alright? Ling Chuyi stroked Xi's scars.

"I won, how can anything happen. ”

"What's wrong with your hands, why are you behind them?"

Ling Chuyi poked her head out and looked behind Xi, Xi flashed to block it, and said, "Guess." ”

"Got a gift?" Ling Chuyi smiled bitterly, he didn't expect Xi to be naughty at this time. However, this is also the custom, every time Xi returns from a dangerous mission, he will bring her a small gift, so that she does not worry about her injury.

"Guess what?" As soon as Xi finished speaking, there was a "meow" sound from behind, and Ling Chuyi laughed directly. Xi embarrassedly took out a fluffy little yellow cat from behind.

"It's really shameless. Ling Chuyi took the kitten with a smile and rubbed it affectionately, her face was slightly red, "Thank you." ”

"I have something to be thankful for. Xi looked at Ling Chuyi's little face dotingly, and suddenly his tone changed, "Wait a minute, you raise your head." ”

"What's wrong?" Ling Chuyi panicked.

Xi looked at the tears on Ling Chuyi's face, and kept leaning his face closer until the tips of Ling Chuyi's ears began to redden, and said, "Yi'er, are you crying?"

"No, no, I'm just ······ Let's go back and talk about it first. ”

"It's okay, you follow me back this time, and we'll go to Meifu. ”

Meifu is a place for the envoys of the Ministry of Charm to live, and it is also the office of the Ministry of Charm.

"Hmm. ”

"You go out first, there's a sedan chair outside to pick you up. I'll go and say a word to the king of the mirage, and I'll be right away. ”

Xi came to the temple and knelt on the futon in front of the stone statue.

"I swear that even if it costs my life, I will save her. I hope she just cried for me, so that everything I did was in vain. O king, if she was really crying for me just now, please help me in secret, so that I can live when it is all over, okay?"

There is no shortage of gossip in the market. A few days ago, people were still talking about the new envoy of the Charm Department, and in the blink of an eye, the topic was replaced by the tragedy of the Ying family in Kai Cheng and the dissolution of the Ji Yan mercenary group.

In the mouth of the tea guest, Ying Xuan secretly took in a wandering half-demon, but the half-demon was an immature beast after all, and slaughtered Ying's family on the night of his childhood. The Jiyan mercenary group originally wanted to hunt demons for marrow, but happened to run into the tragedy of the Ying family. The strength of the half-demon is fierce, and the Jiyan mercenary group finally returned with a fiasco, and Yan Hong's prestige was discredited. The legendary man who once commanded a group of outlaws seems to have lost his former charm, and led the only remaining people to return to Emperor Xiling.

At this moment, in a room of Meita, a handsome young man is sitting on the bed, and it is Ying Yanshu who has escaped. He wiped his sword over and over again, his eyes reddened, and the ghost mask was dropped beside the bed.

Suddenly, the door to the room was pushed open. Ying Yanshu hurriedly picked up the ghost mask and put it on, but he was still a step too slow.

"Thorns, the charm department stipulates that the mask is not allowed in the charm tower. The visitor looked at the kid who had just joined the Charm Division.

"My subordinates know their mistakes. Ying Yanshu looked at the newly appointed Xi.

Xi came to Ying Yanshu's bedside, saw the moist pillow at the head of the bed, and said, "Crying?"

Ying Yanshu wore a ghost mask and was silent, which was a tacit acquiescence. The charms and generals don't know each other's identities, only the charms and the Xiling Emperor will know. Xi, as the new envoy of the charm department, can naturally know that Thorn is Ying Yanshu, and also know about the tragedy of their Ying family.

"At the beginning of today's unitary day, wait for me in Zhixin Village. Remember, don't go as a thorn, go as a book of the wild goose, and don't let others know. After speaking, Xi turned around and left, leaving Ying Yanshu confused.

Is this a task? The task should be carried out unconditionally, but why should we emphasize that we should not go as a thorn, but as a book of the wild goose?

For this new Shura, Ying Yanshu didn't know much. It is only known that he is good at killing, and he has not been in the Charm Department for a long time, but he is the most skilled killer, and not long ago he took a difficult task and brought back the Ancient Secret Scroll, so he was qualified to challenge the Falcon. The mission of the charm department has always been kept secret, and Ying Yanshu knows nothing about what task Xi has performed.

Zhixin Village is a small village outside the city of Yisang. The village is surrounded by hills and a dense water network, so there is very little land available for cultivation in the village. The village's prime-aged laborers, both men and women, have started shipping businesses along the Zhaichuan River and will only return at the time of the New Year's feast. Only the old people were left in the village, and even the children went out with the fleet.

Ying Yanshu was dressed in civilian clothes, and came to the entrance of Zhixin Village alone, looking around suspiciously.

"It's coming. The voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Ying Yanshu was startled. When I looked back, I saw Xi standing behind him in a charming outfit.

"You scared me to death. Youxi was on the side, Ying Yanshu looked particularly childish, "You let me come as Ying Yanshu, why are you dressed like this?"

"I'm not important. Xi walked towards the village with Ying Yanshu, "It's good that you're here." ”

There were very few people in the village, all of them were old people, and they didn't pay too much attention when they saw Xi. Xi said as she walked.

"I come here a lot and they know me well. It's not like the people in Yisang City who are always afraid of me. Xi greeted the old man from time to time, "Do you know what mission I was able to challenge the falcon?"

"Capture the Ancient Secret Scroll. ”

"And where did I get the Ancient Scroll?"

"If you shouldn't ask, your subordinates won't ask. ”

"Hehe, you don't have deep scheming, but you learned the routine first. You are now a book of wild goose, not a thorn. Xi was made to cry and laugh by Ying Yanshu, "Yan Hong, you know, why did he go to your Ying Mansion?"

"It is said that it is for the marrow blood of the ancient demon beasts. ”

"What is the use of the marrow blood of the ancient demon beast, why does he want the marrow blood?" Xi guided Ying Yanshu's thinking, skillfully distorting logic.

"Could it be that Yan Hong has an ancient secret scroll! The secret scroll of the envoy was taken from Yan Hong?"

"I'm only halfway there. While Yan Hong was gathering his men and horses to Kai Ao City, I attacked his base camp and captured the Ancient Secret Scroll. My follow-up mission is to assassinate Yan Hong, and I have no future trouble. So I followed him to Kai Yi City, and finally witnessed the tragedy of your Ying family. ”

"I was lucky. That Yizhao's strength was too strong, Yan Hong was defeated, the Ji Yan mercenary group fell apart, and Yan Hongchen Fu Xiling. Because there was a riot within the Jiyan mercenary group after the fiasco, which covered up my attack, Yan Hong believed that the secret scroll was lost in the riot. I'm done. ”

"Why is the envoy telling me this?"

"Although I didn't kill Yan Hong, I didn't go to Yingfu in vain this time. Xi stopped in front of a private house, "I'll show you someone." ”

"What person?" Ying Yanshu suddenly became nervous.

"Go in and see for yourself. ”
