Demon Palace, Xuanyuan Palace.

The four corners of the study are blooming with several rare flowers, and the table is placed with delicate pine and bamboo tea sets. When the breeze blows, you can smell the fragrance of tea. On one side of the hall, a nanmu curtain separates the inside from the outside. Through the curtain, the figures of the two people who were playing against each other could be vaguely seen.

"Everything is as you expected, things are going well." A white child fell from Liyang, and said with a smile, "We basically have mastered the location and battle plan of the demon king and the corpse demon. Our people have also arranged according to your orders. This time, we're sure we'll be able to catch them all. ”

Hanchen shook his head lightly, "Not necessarily, now is not the time to relax your vigilance, the demon king is cautious and cunning, and it is likely that there will be a follow-up move." ”

"You're being too careful." Liyang said disapprerovingly, "Seriously, with our strength, if we really give it a go, the ten black politics and the evil roe deer together are not our opponents." ”

"You can't say that. The reason why I did this was to minimize the losses in battle. The battle for the throne a thousand years ago has already greatly damaged the vitality of the demon world, and I don't want to let the ordinary demon people suffer from the invasion of war again because of the struggle for the rights of those in high positions. Hanchen dropped a sunspot and said, "So this time, we must not only win, but also win ingenuity and beauty." ”

Liyang nodded, "You're right, I'm a little reckless. So what's next for you? ”

Hanchen leaned back lazily on the chair, tapped the desktop with his right hand, and said with a slight smile when he heard the words, "I heard that the demon king brought his beloved daughter this time?" ”

Li Yang understood, and the corners of his mouth also hooked up a smile with evil spirit, "I understand, don't worry, I heard that this little princess is lively and naughty, and often runs around on the streets." I will send a few more men out and bring her to the palace as guests. ”

"Don't worry, wait for the day of the streamer day to do it." Hanchen took a sip of tea and said.

"Also, I'm afraid that I will startle the snake by doing it now, it's better to wait until the day of the streamer, the demon king is busy arranging the arrangements, and the care of the little princess will be relaxed, and it will be easier for us to get it." Liyang nodded in response.

After playing chess for a while, Liyang seemed to suddenly remember something, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "By the way, how are you getting along with that little girl?" It's been a long time since I've seen you so attentive to a woman, otherwise, when you're done cleaning up those rebellious ministers and thieves this time, you can take that girl as a concubine. ”

Hanchen glanced at him lightly, "Have you been idle lately?" Why don't I send you some more errands when I'm done cleaning them up? ”

"Don't, don't. Just kidding, if you don't want to, just don't be angry when I haven't said it. Li Yang pretended to be pretending to hug his fists and beg for mercy, "It's hard to take a long vacation, you just let me rest and rest, and live a few comfortable days." ”

Hanchen frowned and studied the chess path, ignoring him.

"Anyway, I've been getting more and more out of your mind lately. What the hell do you think of that little girl? I can see that you're not just taking advantage of her. Could it be that you paused for a moment, then continued, "Could it be that you really think of her as a stand-in for that person?" ”

Hanchen twisted the hand of the chess piece for a pause, and after a long time, he whispered, "I don't know either." Maybe I thought this way at first, but later, the more I came into contact with them, the more I realized that they were actually very different. I used to want to see her because I wanted to see a face that looked very similar to that person. And now, I want to see Xiao Zhao'er, just because I want to see her, not to miss anyone. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "I really don't know whether to be glad that I finally let go of the past, or to feel my fickleness." ”

"You're not fickle either. After all, in the vicissitudes of life, for hundreds of thousands of years, you have only fallen in love with two women, and you can already be rated as a model of infatuation in the Five Realms. Liyang said.

Hearing this, Han Chen frowned, "Who said I fell in love with that Xiao Zhao'er?" ”

"Isn't it?"

Hanchen said deliberately indifferently, "But I think she's a little interesting, and I just want to play with her." ”

"Alright, pretend with me." Liyang pouted, "Don't you know, the best way to make a person forget about a previous relationship is to fall in love with another person again." Extrapolating backwards from your current situation, it fully shows that you have been fascinated by that little girl. ”

Then he smiled, "Actually, this is a good thing." Compared to thinking about a woman who will never belong to you, you can think about it, and like a woman who can get it and keep it by your side, which is a great thing for you and for the demon world.

So, don't dwell on any fickle or not, ask your own heart, how to choose, just follow your heart. We've all lived for so long, we haven't seen anything, we haven't experienced anything. Those sad and regretful things, since they are irreparable, let it pass. There are endless years in the future, if you remember the past one by one, there are inevitably too many things on your heart, and sooner or later one day it will crush you. It's better to pack up and look forward, don't miss it again, otherwise, you will regret it in the future. ”

Han Chen was silent for a long time, half loud, and said with a faint smile, "I've known you for so many years, but I didn't expect you to have the talent to enlighten people." ”

"No way, I'm just so empathetic and considerate." Liyang smiled proudly, "Now I know why my womanhood is always better than yours." ”

Hanchen looked at him a little speechlessly, "You have nothing else to do, just go back first." ”

"It's too much, as soon as you don't need people, you will drive people away, and people are so sad." Away from the central pretentious exaggeration.

Hanchen felt a bad chill, picked up a box of chess pieces and threw them directly at his head, "Get out." ”

Three days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the day of the streamer arrived.

In the early morning of this day, the sun was shining, the shadows of the trees outside the hall were slanting, and the sound of birdsong came, adding a bit of rhythm to the quiet morning.

The demons like the night, so the streamer feast is held in the middle of the night. During the day, most of the ladies in the Demon Palace spent their lives by sleeping.

Xiao Zhaoer was lying under the covers, planning to follow the customs, seize the good time of the day, and get some sleep, but heard a few knocks on the door outside. I didn't want to pay attention to it, but I didn't expect the knock on the door to be persistent, so Xiao Zhaoer was angry.

"Who? Early in the morning, I don't sleep, and I come to disturb other people's dreams. ”

Hearing this, the knocking on the door stopped.

Xiao Zhao'er breathed a sigh, wrapped the quilt, and fell back to the bed.

Then, unexpectedly, the head touched a hard pillow. Hey, strange, was the pillow placed here just now?

Xiao Zhao'er wondered, closed her eyes and touched up.

This feel......

Zhao'er opened her eyes suddenly, looked up, and met Hanchen's smiling eyes.

I saw the man sitting on his bed, supporting his head with his hands, looking at himself leisurely, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at himself who was pillowed on his lap.

Xiao Zhao'er jumped up instinctively, subconsciously tightened her neckline, and said angrily, "You are a demon venerable, how can you trespass into the maid's bedroom?" ”

"I'm a demon venerable, why can't I trespass into a maid's bedroom?" Hanchen said with a smile for a long time.

Xiao Zhao'er said angrily, "You, you scoundrel." ”

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you. Looking for you has something to explain to you. Hanchen restrained his smile and said, "Tonight, you don't want to attend the streamer banquet." ”

"Why? It's rare that there is such a fun banquet in the Demon Palace, why don't you let me go? ”

Hanchen looked at her helplessly, "You also know what kind of scene it will be tonight, in case your identity is revealed, it may be dangerous." It's better to stay in the Xuanyuan Palace, and when I come back, I will arrange for people to secretly protect you. ”

"Ahh Xiao Zhao'er opened her big watery eyes, approached him and said with a wicked smile, "If you secretly promise me, I will be very troubled." ”

"......" The corners of Hanchen's mouth twitched, and he squinted his eyes and looked at her dangerously, "Are you teasing me?" ”
