In the silence, a faint candle flame opened a small area of light, and half of his body was in this bright area, and the remaining half was immersed in the dark night.

He was gently wiping a long sword, the sword was bent, and the entire sword body showed a strange arc, and that arc, if you looked closely, was the moon wandering in the middle moon that day.

The entire long sword was pitch black, even the hilt, and under the candle flame, the long sword did not have the slightest luster at all, like a piece of broken iron, and it was quietly placed in the hands of its master.

Suddenly, a piece of moonlight playfully opened the window with a slight gap, and quickly jumped in from the thin gap, bypassing the stone tools on the side, and then over the silver celadon, and finally landed on the sword body.

Yes, that's right, landed on the sword.

You will feel at this moment that it is not the moon that attracts the sword, but the sword itself, which attracts the moon.

At that moment, the entire black sword body began to glow with a lustre, and began to become as translucent as jade along with the slight moonlight, and finally the entire sword began to vibrate slowly.

Rong Zhao's internal force began to work together at the same time, and the sword body trembled even more, just like that, with the moonlight, in this silent room, Rong Zhao slowly closed his eyes, and with the vibration, he operated his internal force.

One week, two weeks, five weeks, Yellow Springs!

The sword body suddenly stopped, and Rong Zhao immediately opened his eyes, and the moonlight on the side quietly dissipated, and the candle flame flickered, as if it was blown by the windless wind.

He sighed, but he still couldn't practice to Huangquan. Almost.

His subordinates began to move, but he didn't see what he did, but the sword in his hand was already in a scabbard on the side, the scabbard was very thick, and just looking at it knew that gravity was extraordinary.

Rong Zhao got up and walked to the bed, put the sword in the dark compartment of the bed with the scabbard, and then lay down and slept.

It is rumored that the half-moon sword is an extremely subtle long sword, the sword only sees the hilt, and the sword body is not seen at all, because the sword body is so subtle that it is invisible to the naked eye, but I don't know that the half-moon sword is a legend, the moon is rising, and the first ray of moonlight falls into a piece of stone that has been out of ten thousand years, and it is cast by people with fine blood, and then it becomes a half-moon sword.

The Half Moon Sword has always been the heirloom of the Ronghou Mansion in the capital, and it has not been passed down.

Rong Zhao suddenly sneered, "So, his identity, that Yu Wensheng, already knows?" ”

Xiu Yue woke up early the next day, and when she walked out of the yard, Chunliu was taken aback, and said loudly: "Miss, you got up really early today." ”

Xiu Yue glanced at her and said, "What is today, it is every day." ”

Chunliu smiled and nodded, looking helpless.

It wasn't until Chunliu turned around to work and Xiuyue was washing up that she saw her sad face reflected on the basin.

After patting herself with a handful of water, Xiu Yue said to herself in her heart, don't be touched by a little thing, don't, the yin and yang people who take the yang road are most afraid of this.

But she couldn't help herself from thinking about the figure that had fallen to the ground.

Simply, Rong Zhao didn't let her think about it for long, Xiu Yue had just washed her face when a little servant came over to deliver a message, asking her to go to the gate of Rongfu immediately, and Rong Zhao was waiting for her there.

Today is going out, naturally can't pass on the usual maid clothes that have not been worn before, Xiu Yue patiently selected in the cabinet, and finally chose a white and pink long skirt, under the fine veil also outlined a few delicate plum blossoms, and tied a blue belt around the waist, and finally hung a delicate silver ornament. Xiu Yue turned around and looked at herself with satisfaction.

After thinking about it, he sat down at the dresser again.

Chunliu served Xiuyue on the side, carefully coiled her a simple and generous hairstyle, and then took out the two wooden hairpins in the jewelry box, and was about to bring Xiuyue with them.

Xiuyue glanced at the hairpin, and immediately raised her hand to stop it, this is not an ordinary wooden hairpin, this wooden hairpin is green all over, and it looks vibrant, yes, it is the relic of the iris that Xiuyue encountered when she first came, she was ready to study it, but she didn't expect to put it in the jewelry box but forgot it.

Xiuyue held Chunliu's hand, carefully held the hairpin in her hand, then smiled lightly, and said, "This hairpin is too straight to fit this hairstyle, you can take another one." ”

Chunliu took a closer look, it seemed to make sense, the hairpin in Xiuyue's hand was straight, not even a little arc, and the one in the box was slightly curved, and even formed a cloud shape at the end, which was very pleasing.

Chunliu inserted the hairpin into the bun, watched Xiuyue purse her lips and touched the red lip color, and said with a smile: "Miss, in fact, you are also very good-looking." ”

Xiu Yue was stunned for a moment and said, "Actually? ”

Chunliu scratched her head and smiled: "Always, hehe." ”

Ignoring the stupid girl behind her, Xiuyue put the hairpin in her hand in the box well, and finally put it in the innermost part of the cabinet, she still didn't seem to be at ease, and took out a piece of rune paper and put it inside, in order to avoid being touched by others, she finally locked her room and told Chunliu not to let others in, so she walked out with confidence.

As soon as he walked to the door, he had already seen Rong Zhao's figure from afar.

Xiu Yue trotted over, looked up at him, and said with a smile, "Let's go." ”

This look made Rong Zhao a little stunned.

The woman's eyes were bright and bright, and the little red on her lips seemed to be seductive, and he suddenly felt a flame in his abdomen slowly burning, and finally burned between his lips and teeth, and he suddenly felt his mouth dry.

Rong Zhao turned his face away unnaturally and asked, "Why are you so slow?" ”

Xiu Yue turned around dissatisfied, and said: "It's also shopping, in case I encounter a place that needs beauty, naturally I will go, of course I have to dress up carefully." ”

Saying this, Rong Zhao looked at the charming figure outlined by the beautiful clothes, and suddenly felt that this trip was a bit of a loss, but he couldn't allow him to return, and Xiu Yue had already stopped his cuffs and ran out.

Although she has been in this world for a long time, and now that autumn is halfway through, this is the third time Xiuyue has come out, looking at these new things, she can't help but smile at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

"Where do we go first?" Xiuyue looked at the sense of direction that had already dizzy.

Rong Zhao raised his hand and pointed to the center of the city, and said, "City Lord's Mansion." ”

Along the way, Rong Zhao carefully told Xiuyue what kind of character the city lord of Sleepless City was, so much so that she began to be curious about that character until the end.

It is said that in the past, this was not a city that never sleeps, and the mountain was not called the mountain that never sleeps, but later, the foreign countries attacked, and the mountains here were too obstructive, so it led to a great reduction in the imperial court, and the city lord was angry, and ordered the soldiers to build a city for themselves, and the emperor was naturally opposed, and no one wanted a town to suddenly emerge under the land under their rule, and it was someone else's.

But unexpectedly, this old general surnamed Li said, Your Majesty, if you either watch the foreign countries come in and you lose the whole country, or you will pay to build me a city, and this city will be mine.

At that time, it was a special period, the emperor had no choice, so he had to accept it, the city was built, the battle was won, the old general was very aware of the current affairs, and naturally handed over the military power, so he wanted to come here to be a city lord busy, and after coming, because many soldiers died here, he ordered that the lights could not be turned off for three days, so that the ghosts could find a home.

This is where the Mountain that Never Sleeps and the City That Never Sleeps come from.

After hearing this, Xiu Yue wondered, "Then why is the rumor of Buye Mountain like that?" ”

Rong Zhao shook his head and said: "Those rumors only came out later, and these things are too long, just speculation, who can say for sure." “

Long? Xiu Yue suddenly said: "You, how old are you?" “

Rong Zhao raised his eyebrows, smiled evilly, and said, "Twenty-four." “

Xiu Yue also raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "That, the old city lord ......"

"Eighty-eight."

Now that it was clear, Xiu Yue said: "No wonder you said that it was too long, it was a little too long." ”

Walking into the City Lord's Mansion, Xiu Yue looked at the building in front of her and repeated it to Rong Zhao in disbelief.

The building in front of it is the same size as an ordinary small restaurant on the street, and it covers an area of only one-third of the Rong Mansion, and it must not be divided into the backyard main courtyard like the Rong Mansion, the East Garden and the West Garden.

And the entire City Lord's Mansion looked plain and nothing else, and even the stone lion at the door didn't seem to have any majesty and domineering.

The only thing that made Xiu Yue feel a little interested was the hanging door plaque, on which the words dragon flying and phoenix danced: City Lord's Mansion.

Xiu Yue looked at these words and teased: "This old city lord is diligent and thrifty, you know, the Red Mansion looks more magnificent than this." ”

As soon as Xiu Yue finished saying this, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion suddenly opened, and a man came out, wearing a cautious ink-colored robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and a little red tassel at the end of the long sword dangled leisurely.

The man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes are very handsome, and the integrity in his eyes is obvious.

Xiu Yue looked at it carefully, and looked at his face, he was a loyal person.

The man walked down, seemed to hear Xiu Yue's words, and explained with a smile: "The girl's words are wrong, the Red Mansion is a place of fireworks, and it is naturally lively, but the City Lord's Mansion is a place for the people, so it is naturally simple." "What I said is really ashamed of myself.

After the man finished speaking, Lang Lang smiled, stretched out his hand and bent over and said, "The two should be Rongfu Rong Gongzi and Xiuyue Girl, please come here." ”

Xiuyue nodded, and followed Rong Zhao into the open door.

He has a lot of experience in dealing with people, and this man must be someone from the city lord's side.

In fact, I couldn't see it outside, and when I walked in, Xiu Yue finally discovered that the real mystery was all in this mansion.

Mountains and rivers have high and low, and aura has depth, so in terms of architecture, these things are quite important.

And this city lord's mansion can be said to be in the middle of the way.
