Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Meeting
At noon, the warm sunlight shines into the house, casting speckled light and shadow on the wall, the summer cicada whispers, it seems to reflect the empty hustle and bustle, in the quiet bedroom, only listen to a slight sound on the bed, Mo Wen stretched his waist, poked his head out from under the bed, and then slowly got up, looking at the already bright sky, his eyes were slightly narrowed.
"Hmm—" The sun shone into the bed, and a low murmur sounded, as if it was undoubtedly made in sleep.
Under the cover of the thin futon, Shang Xiufang's convex and concave curves are exquisitely revealed, drawing peaks and valleys everywhere, and her hair is scattered on her shoulders, but it adds a natural and charming style, the ruddy face and the exposed snow-white skin are full of traces of last night's joy, with the scenery of the begonia's spring sleep, which makes people's hearts move.
Looking at the seductive delicate body, the corners of Mo Wen's mouth were slightly raised, and he unconsciously recalled last night's madness, it was really a good night, I have to say that some women are born stunners, although it is the first time, and they don't know martial arts, but Shang Xiufang still brought him incomparable enjoyment, this world's first prostitute, not only singing and dancing well, but even on the bed is also very talented, when I think of the wonderful scene of being able to take her into a forbidden place in the future and train her night and night, Mo Wen felt that he and Xiang Yutian fought hard.
The hand gently swept over Shang Xiufang's pretty face, and before Mo Wen could make any further movements, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house.
"Master, Bai Ziting summoned everyone Shang." Zong Xianghua's voice rang out, mentioning the former owner. The tone didn't change in the slightest.
"Is there anything about Zhilu Dao?" Stopped the movement in his hand, Mo Wen remained silent, and just asked lightly.
"This morning, the convoy of Fu Cailin, the master of Goguryeo's sword, has entered the city. Worship the Purple Pavilion and Fu Nantuo set up a banquet and invite everyone to go. ”
"So?" Mo Wen groaned for a while, looked at Shang Xiufang, who was still sleeping soundly, and smiled lightly, "Forget it, Xiufang hasn't woken up yet, let her rest well, and I'll go with you." I don't think that Bai Ziting will not give me face! ”
Longquan Palace, under the leadership of Zong Xiang Huadi, Mo Wen entered the quiet and elegant Qifeng Pavilion through the garden and courtyard. Along the way, those guards were a little strange, why would Zong Xianghua bring a man instead of the Shang family. But because of her status as the commander, she didn't ask much.
Qifeng Pavilion is located in the west garden of Longquan Imperial Palace, an artificial small lake that introduces hot spring water, connected with a ring lake promenade, surrounded by paulownia trees and cypress trees. The bamboo shadow is mottled. The scenery is extremely beautiful, the hot spring pool is steaming under the sunshine, forming a strange scene of hydrocarbon and xia entanglement, which is the curved sill corridor, the water pavilion platform, adding infinite poetry, compared to the Taiji Palace of Chang'an, it is another situation.
On the platform facing the lake. However, several tables of banquets have been set up, and the guests and hosts are seated. All of them are extraordinary.
Sitting on the main seat was a middle-aged man, with a wide forehead and big ears, two large earlobes, a lion nose, a medium build, and an elegant demeanor like a child of a high-ranking family in Middle-earth, with a modest and implicit superiority and pride, and a pair of eyes that made people fearful, shrewd, and deep-sighted, with a slick shoulder, and a smile full of old and fixed smiles.
On his right hand, he was a tall, thin, withered black, high-nosed and deep-eyed Tianzhu man, wearing an orange and apricot extra-wide white robe, and his hair was heavily bandaged with white yarn, making the bridge of his nose appear taller and straighter, and his eyes were deeper and more unpredictable, and it was difficult to tell at a glance whether he was handsome or ugly, and how old he was.
On the left hand side of the middle-aged man, there was a strange-looking man, his forehead was particularly high, his chin was slender and a little cumbersome, and the curved and folded nose bridge was unusually tall and huge, but the man did not look ugly, under the eyes like stars in the night sky, the whole face was immediately reborn into a very character form, and the boundary between extreme ugliness and extreme beauty was blurred in an instant.
Behind the man there are two beautiful women, dressed in white, floating like a fairy, a little bigger, with a face like frost, but full of charm, and the slightly smaller one is as delicate as a blooming peony peony, chic and innocent.
The two women were originally outstanding people, and they would attract attention everywhere, but at this time, they stood quietly behind the man, without the slightest dissatisfaction, but when they looked at it, there was no sense of incongruity in this scene, as if it should have been, so the man was more perfect.
From Mo Wen's point of view, although there are others present, no one can compare with these three people in terms of temperament, and although the middle-aged man and the monk among the three have extraordinary aura, they are still a little worse than the strange-looking man.
And just when Mo Wen was paying attention to the people in the banquet, everyone was also looking at them.
Seeing Zong Xianghua leading a man over, Bai Ziting frowned at first, he invited everyone to come, and thought that there was some accident, but the next glance he was shocked by the demeanor of the person who came. At the age of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a well-fitting white robe, a jade belt around his waist, and cloud boots on his feet, his simple clothes are worn on this person, but he is extremely harmonious, handsome and handsome, Liao Ruochenxing's eyes, the noble temperament between his hands and feet, without anyone to explain, Bai Ziting knows that the person who comes is extraordinary, if Fu Cailin is blurring the boundary between extreme ugliness and extreme beauty, then this person himself is a symbol of extreme beauty, he really can't think of anyone else in this world who can be better than this person in appearance.
Not only worshipping Ziting, Fu Nantuo and Fu Cailin were also secretly thinking about the identity of the person who came, and Fu Cailin even felt that the second disciple behind him shook inexplicably when he saw the person, and the situation was like an ordinary person seeing a poisonous snake.
Thoughtfully, Fu Cailin's eyes looked at the side of his lower hand, where there was a man with a lofty spirit, with a long knife hanging on his waist, although his temperament was a little inferior to Bai Ziting and others, but it was not bad, but at this moment, this man was looking at Zong Xianghua who came with Mo Wen, I don't know what he thought, his face was gloomy and terrifying.
"Young marshal, do you know who is coming?" Fu Cailin asked lightly, he still has a little love for this cheap apprentice, although it is the first time I have met, the relationship is not bad. Especially the identity of the other party, one of the commanders of the Jiangbei coalition army, if it is operated properly. Maybe he can really make the Central Plains unified, leaving some time for him Goguryeo.
Kou Zhong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the bad thoughts in his heart, and was about to answer, but Bai Ziting spoke first.
"Xianghua, who is this?" His eyes were on his subordinate, not knowing what he was thinking.
And Mo Wen over there smiled. replied calmly: "Don't hear it in the next place, come uninvited, and hope that the lord of the country is not strange!" ”
"I don't hear it in the next". Just four words made the faces of everyone present change, this is not just a name, but represents an identity, the number one grandmaster in the world. The hegemon of the South. The one who has the most hope of unifying the Central Plains.
Although he had long known that Lu Dao Mo Wen had come to Longquan, he had never thought that he would come here in such a grand manner, he was not afraid that the Turks would send troops to encircle and suppress him, if he could get rid of him, then before the Turks went south, the Central Plains would have no chance to be unified.
Bai Ziting secretly considered all kinds of gains and losses in his heart, but there was a smile on his face, "It turned out that Emperor Chu had arrived." If it's really an honor, how dare you blame it? Please take a seat! ”
Anyway. Bai Ziting has a trace of embarrassment, it turns out that the seats here have already been mastered, and only the position prepared for Shang Xiufang remains, just on the side of Fu Nantuo's hand, although Shang Xiufang is famous all over the world, but after all, it is not as good as Fu Cailin and Fu Nantuo's status, it is not rude to sit like this, but if it is a little inappropriate to entertain Mo Wen, with his identity, he should sit in the position closest to his master, but Bai Ziting can't ask Fu Cailin or Fu Nantuo to get up and give up his seat, this is a bit of a naked slap in the face, Not to mention that with the status of these two people, even ordinary martial artists can't stand this humiliation, and if one is not good, it is estimated that blood will be splashed on the spot.
Looking at Bai Ziting's embarrassed look, Mo Wen smiled, and casually walked to Shang Xiufang's position and sat down, with no dissatisfaction on his face.
With a sigh of relief, Bai Ziting turned his head to look at Zong Xianghua, "Zong Yuwei, I sent someone to invite everyone, but I don't know why I didn't come?" ”
Kou Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression was a little nervous, although he already had some bad guesses, he still held on to one ten-thousandth of an expectation.
Zong Xianghua was silent, but Mo Wen on the side smiled and said: "I'm sorry, worship the lord of the country, but last night in the monks everyone talked about music theory with candles, and forgot to rest for a while, everyone only went to bed this morning, I couldn't bear to let her be disturbed, and when I heard the invitation of the lord of the country, I took it upon myself to wait for her to come to the banquet, the lord of the country won't blame, right?" ”
"Click" sounded softly, Kou Zhong broke the chopsticks in his hand by mistake, only to see that his face was pale, his shoulders kept shaking, and he looked like he was about to make a move, but after all, he was no longer that little gangster, after years of experience, at this time, he also had a bit of a city in his heart, and after a while, he forcibly suppressed the murderous spirit, and asked the waiter for a pair of chopsticks as if nothing happened.
It's just that the killing intent in his eyes can be hidden from Bai Ziting and the others, he glanced at Kou Zhong quietly, and Bai Ziting smiled: "Where, since everyone is not feeling well, I can't be reluctant to wait, come, I'll give Emperor Chu a cup first!" ”——
Chang'an, the eldest princess Li Xiuning walked on the street alone, dressed in disguise, without any entourage, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, she had unwillingness and resentment on her face, but she could only walk slowly in one direction.
Luofoo Casino, looking at this name, Li Xiuning sighed slightly, and his thoughts unconsciously diverged.
The civil strife in Chang'an a few years ago greatly hurt the vitality of the entire Li Valve, and a number of Li family disciples fell, and many people were involved and removed from their posts, so among the few remaining Li Valve's descendants, she Li Xiuning also commanded the troops into battle, and leaned towards her second brother when she stood in line, coupled with her own identity, so she was reused, and her subordinates led a group of people, which was also considered a high power, and she said nothing in Chang'an, but even so, she couldn't get rid of that shadow.
Led by a maid, she quietly entered a secret room on the second floor.
At this time, there were three women standing in the secret room, all of them were as beautiful as flowers, and their bodies were graceful, one of them saw Li Xiuning coming, and they smiled, "Sister Xiuning, you are finally here, my sister has been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
Li Xiuning frowned, and said coldly: "Yun Yuzhen, don't talk nonsense, what's the matter with calling me here?" ”
Yun Yuzhen didn't care, glanced at Li Xiuning charmingly, and then laughed and said: "It's nothing, it's just that your second brother attacked Luoyang in a hurry, so Marshal Shen wants you to cooperate with us to take Chang'an." Teach him a lesson! ”
Li Xiuning's face changed, what is called a lesson, this is basically to destroy Li Valve in one fell swoop. forced her Li family to a dead end.
"Dream! Do you think it's possible for me to say yes! Li Xiuning clenched her fists, she was born in a wealthy family, she was taught to be loyal to the family since she was a child, and at this time, Yun Yuzhen wanted her to betray the family.
On the other side, Yun Yuzhen frowned, and the smile on his face disappeared, "Do you think it's possible for you to refuse?" ”
She glanced Li Xiuning up and down, looking at her slightly trembling body is Yile. Gently hooking her chin, "Do you want the master to give the order himself?" If we do it, then what will we do with your Li family. We can still talk, but if the master orders you to make a move, what will happen to your Li family is not certain? You must know that except for us beings, the master doesn't care about the life or death of those little pawns! ”
Saying that, Yun Yuzhen looked back at a petite and delicate woman. "Xiao Ji. What happened to the Xiang family who took the initiative to take refuge in the master? ”
Yin Xiaoji frowned slightly, and then said indifferently: "Sister Qian and I used the Northern Pluto Divine Skill to suck everyone's power dry, and then killed them all!" ”
Yun Yuzhen shrugged, then turned around and said to Li Xiuning with a smile: "A Xiang family who took the initiative to take refuge in him, the master also said that he would kill him, what do you think he will do with your Li family?" ”
Hearing this, Li Xiuning's face turned red at first. But then it was pale, and at the worst of all, he could only bow his head weakly. Said a little dejectedly: "You have to guarantee the bloodline of my Li family-"
"It's nature!" Seeing that the goal was achieved, Yun Yu really smiled, and there was a faint divine light in his eyes.
"Come, let's talk about the deployment of Chang'an first, how many people can obey the orders of your eldest princess?" ——
Xiapi, shouting and killing shook the sky, there were people fighting everywhere on the endless battlefield, the Yangzhou army and the Jiangbei coalition army kept colliding, every moment there were soldiers falling in a pool of blood, the blood flowing out of the ground was dyed red, the remnants of the soldiers were broken, the broken flags, the wilting fireworks, everything looked extremely tragic and tragic.
In the camp of the commander of the Jiangbei Coalition Army, a voice was roaring loudly.
"What do you say? Those Turkic bastards actually withdrew their troops, what are they thinking, they are so blind that they can't make it to fight the Yangzhou army alone! Liu Wuzhou grabbed a communications soldier by the neck and roared loudly, swaying desperately as he roared, and the force almost suffocated the soldier.
"That's it! Let him go, and leave him alone. A tired voice came from inside the tent, and Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, rubbed his red and swollen eyes and opened his mouth to persuade.
Only then did Liu Wuzhou notice the soldier's flushed face, frowned, let go of his hands, and looked at Dou Jiande with a gloomy face, "King Xia, what should we do now, we are not the opponent of the Yangzhou army at all, and if we continue to fight like this, it will be all over!" ”
Dou Jiande is a wry smile, how can he not know in this situation, the Yangzhou army itself is above them, and it is also easy to work and well-equipped, and the commander Shen Luoyan has changed the style of making good use of tricks in the past, and the army has pressed the border, and fought in a dignified manner, taking advantage of it. As for their side, their own numbers are below the other party, and as a coalition army, there is a bit of intrigue in secret, and they can't use all their strength, and they lose miserably after several encounters, but they have no way at all.
Rubbing his eyebrows, Dou Jiande calmly analyzed: "We still have hope, as long as the Tang Emperor breaks Luoyang and joins us, under the attack from both sides, there is still hope of victory, and didn't the Turks say that their withdrawal this time is to encircle and suppress Chu Emperor Mo Wen, as long as Mo Wen dies, the Yangzhou army will be chaotic, and we can win without a fight!" ”
Hearing Dou Jiande's words, Liu Wuzhou's face soothed a little, and then he snorted coldly, "This group of Turks is hoping that we will fight to the death here, and they will be good fishermen and profit!" ”
Among the coalition forces, Liu Wuzhou had the closest relationship with the Turks, so the withdrawal of the Turkic troops also made him the most resentful, and of course, there was no lack of use of this to make Dou Jiande stand out.
Shaking his head slightly, Dou Jiande did not reply, but looked outside the tent, and after a long time, he sighed softly, "Alas, I hope that the Turkic party can go well, otherwise we may not be able to hold on here!" ”——
On a lake near Longquan, a small boat slowly rowed towards the Jingbo Pavilion, and Shi Zhixuan, who looked a little lonely and lonely, sat on the boat, looking around at the lake and was silent, and after a long time, there was a light sigh, like resentment, like sadness.
And with this soft sigh, several figures appeared one after another, faintly surrounding the boat.
"Shi Zhixuan, today is your end!"
After the yin, Zhu Yuyan walked over with the white-clothed and barefoot Wanwan, and looked at Shi Zhixuan's face was extremely complicated, with hatred and resentment, affection and regret, and the most reluctant turned into naked killing intent.
Behind her, Wan Wan held the Heavenly Demon Twin Blades, her eyes swept over Shi Zhixuan, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
On the other side, Concubine Xuan held the sword of color and space, looking at Shi Zhixuan indifferently, compared with the first meeting, at this time, Concubine Xuan was still like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world, she was high, a pair of eyes seemed to see through everything in this world, but now in that lofty temperament has added another thing, only to see the occasional coquettishness, the ten thousand styles between the smile and the smile, which not only makes people dare not blaspheme, but also makes people haunted by dreams, never forget, These two completely different temperaments are strangely combined in Shi Fei Xuan, but they don't make people feel contradictory at all, the charm is so strong, just look at Xu Ziling, who is standing behind her and has a little fascination in his eyes, he can know a thing or two.
Not to mention the change in the concubine, listening to Zhu Yuyan's coquettishness, Shi Zhixuan shook his head slightly, turned around, and let out a wry smile.
"Yuyan, do we have to get this far?" (To be continued......)
