"Ghost Night Stalker." I don't know who said it in the crowd.

Yes, he is indeed a ghost thief.

He originally came with Huangfu Yuntian, but he was delayed by other things halfway, so he was a step late.

Zhao Yu glanced at him coldly, but what he cared about was what he said.

The master of the Peony National Color Pavilion, one of the three beauties of martial arts, coupled with the glazed accessories on her body, this masked woman is undoubtedly Shen Liuli.

It's just that why did this Shen Liuli come to the imperial capital? Could it be that she is also here for the "Fire Phoenix Talisman"? But it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that this Shen Liuli is conceited of martial arts, the first in the world, the talent is unparalleled, the lonely and arrogant, never puts anyone in his eyes, nor does he put any fame and fortune in his eyes, and regards his powerful position as dung.

But why did she come to the imperial capital?

Just as Zhao Yu was thinking about it secretly. Suddenly, seeing a flash of red light in front of him, Shen Liuli shot again, and a pink petal turned into a red light and attacked the night owl.

The night owl laughed, his body shook, erratic, as fast as lightning, and shot towards Shen Liuli.

Shen Liuli sneered, and with a wave of her sleeves, countless petals flew out of her sleeves, like a large net covering the sky towards the night owl.

"Good time." The night owl shouted excitedly, his body was like electricity, and when his arms were lightly raised, five ghost-headed flying knives were issued, and countless "snort" sounds were heard, which were endless. And the sparks caused by the friction pierce people's eyes.

Seeing this, everyone retreated to the side, and even some timid people had sneaked out of the restaurant.

Zhao Yu and Qingfeng were also retreating.

"Childe, what should we do?" Qingfeng frowned and whispered in Zhao Yu's ear.

Zhao Yu measured the current situation and the distance to the door, and saw that the door was blocked by some Jianghu people, and the distance from himself to the door was about two feet, and it was still a little difficult to get out of the restaurant without attracting everyone's attention, so he said in a low voice: "Act when the opportunity arises." ”

The two slowly approached the door.

The fight between the night owl and Shen Liuli is fierce, the two of them are strong in martial arts, between you and me, the strong internal force flows, and the tables and chairs in the restaurant can't bear it, and they are shattered one after another.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way······" A rude and rude voice sounded, and a team of officers and soldiers rudely pushed away the Jianghu people standing by the door, walked in quickly, and surrounded the entire lobby.

When everyone saw this, they were all shocked.

Zhao Yu raised his eyes and saw that he was actually from the Tianwei Battalion.

The Tianwei Battalion is responsible for the security and various disputes in Tian'an City, so it is not surprising that it is here at this moment.

"His grandmother's, who dares to make trouble at the feet of the Son of Heaven, don't stop Lao Tzu quickly." Outside the door, Shi Shiran walked in a middle-aged man, about thirty years old, with an arrogant expression, and his eyes glanced at everyone with disdain.

However, his cheers didn't stop the fight between the night owl and Shen Liuli.

Seeing that these two people were completely undeterred by their own power, they suddenly felt that they had lost face, and couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "Come on, take down these two fanatics for this official." ”

"Yes." With a loud shout, more than 100 officers and soldiers instantly surrounded the two.

Shen Liuli's four maidservants screamed one after another, pulled out their weapons and confronted the officers and soldiers.

The other Jianghu people saw that the situation was not good, and they didn't want to clash with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, not to mention that this was the imperial capital, so they retreated to the door one after another.

Zhao Yu and Qingfeng also retreated.

"Today, no one is allowed to leave." The middle-aged man held the hilt of the knife in his hand and shouted, "Whoever dares to step out of the restaurant will be killed." ”

As soon as his voice fell, officers and soldiers immediately stood guard at the door.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

"Dare to ask this lord, what crime have we committed?" A man in a Confucian shirt asked angrily, shaking a folding fan.

When he asked, everyone immediately expressed dissatisfaction.

"Yes, at the feet of this son of heaven, do you dare to lynch yourself?"

“······”

"You are so bold that you dare to contradict this official, do you know who this official is? Come on, take down this daring maniac. ”

As soon as he said this, all the officers and soldiers raised their swords and started to move.

Those Jianghu people were naturally unwilling to be captured, and they fought back one after another.

Suddenly, the sound of blades intersecting resounded throughout the hall.

Zhao Yu and Qingfeng will inevitably be affected in the crowd, and the sword has no eyes, and they almost hurt the two of them a few times.

The breeze easily dealt with the swords that accidentally stabbed Zhao Yu, and escorted Zhao Yu to the door.

"Stop." The sound as cold as snow was like Mount Tai pressing on the top, resounding in the ears, and the people with slightly worse internal strength were shocked and spitted blood.

Under the cheers of this strong internal force, everyone messed up their moves and stopped one after another.

Only the night owl and Shen Liuli seemed to be completely undisturbed.

"This house is really too small, completely restricting the display of this great thief's advanced martial arts, Lord Shen Pavilion, do you dare to go out with this great thief to find a place to fight for three hundred rounds?" The flying knife in the night owl's hand was as dexterous as electricity, forcing Shen Liuli back and asking with a wicked smile.

Shen Liuli's eyes were cold, and there was ice and snow in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Why don't you dare?" ”

"Okay." The night owl laughed wildly, flashed towards the outside of the restaurant, and said with a smile in his mouth, "Then please ask the Shen Pavilion Lord to come with this thief." ”

Shen Liuli snorted coldly, and her body shook, like a light swallow chasing after her.

As soon as she left, the four maidservants chased after her.

Those Jianghu people also hurriedly retreated outside, not daring to delay for half a moment.

Zhao Yu hurriedly stabilized his internal breath and raised his eyes to look at the condescending handsome man in the corridor.

"See the prince, the lower officials don't know that the prince is here, and they disturbed the prince, and the crime deserves death." The middle-aged man's face was as pale as earth, and he hurriedly bowed down.

Other officers and soldiers also bowed down.

"Lord Huang, what's going on?" Huangfu Yun's face was gloomy, his eyebrows and eyes were sinister, and he asked in a cold voice.

"This ······" Lord Huang looked at the people in the rivers and lakes who had withdrawn, and they were full of mess, and there was already a cold sweat on his forehead, "Back to the prince, these Diao people ignore the royal law and disturb the safety of the imperial capital, so the officials are ······."

"Disrupt the security of the imperial capital? Why didn't this king see anyone disturbing the safety of the imperial capital? Huangfu Yuntian was already annoyed that someone disturbed him to discuss things with Yue Changsi, so at this moment, he naturally angered Lord Huang, who just happened to bump into him, "Don't take your people back yet." ”

"Yes Yes Yes ······" Lord Huang was drenched in cold sweat and hurriedly led people out of the restaurant.

Huangfu Yun's gaze turned on Zhao Yu, and then disappeared into the corridor.

Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the restaurant briskly with a light breeze, and rushed away. It wasn't until Leyang Lou disappeared from sight that he stopped.

"Sure enough, it's not suitable to go out of the house today to relax, light breeze, are you okay?" Zhao Yu said with some remorse.

"It's all right, ma'am, how are you?" Light Breeze asked with concern.

"No problem." Zhao Yu shook his head, "Let's go back quickly, after such a long delay, Master Hou is afraid that he has already returned home." ”

The two hurried to the Hou Mansion.

Returning to the Hou Mansion, Baili Peerless had not yet returned to the mansion, which once again made Zhao Yu breathe a sigh of relief.

"Light breeze, you go down and rest, I'm tired." Zhao Yu said a little tiredly.

"Yes, ma'am." The breeze retreated.

As soon as Zhao Yu waited for her to leave, her face was straight, and her tired look disappeared. She was vigilant, closed the doors and windows casually, and then quickly ran back to the bed, closed the heavy bed curtains, and then carefully took out a plain note and quickly browsed it.

Her expression became ugly little by little as she read the letter, and when she finished the letter, two lines of tears slipped down.

Turn the letterhead into ashes with internal force, hold it tightly in the palm of your hand, and wipe away your tears. Zhao Yu's expression returned to his original state, as if nothing had happened.

Tian'ancheng North Street, Shuimu Qinghua Pavilion. A carved screen divides the space.

There are begonia flowers on the table, and the fragrance of the flowers is just right.

The green smoke rising from the fragrant tea haze the beauty of the begonia flowers.

Baili peerless held a wine glass, leaned on the soft seat, and his eyes were distant and ethereal.

On the screen, in addition to the embroidered peony, a hazy figure is faintly reflected.

"It's been six years, are you going to wait?" Baili peerless shook his wine glass and asked quietly.

"Six years?" A clear male voice sounded behind the screen, and there seemed to be countless sorrows and dazedness in his voice, "Six years, time has erased everything, even if I return to the original me at this moment, it will be too late." ”

"How do you know if you don't try?" Hundreds of miles of peerless eyes flowed, falling on the begonia flowers, deep and inexplicable.

"How to try, losing is losing after all, and my current state is the best ending." The man's words are full of transparency, and there is a kind of confusion that sees through the vicissitudes of the world.

"Are you really willing to be content with the status quo, the change of imperial power, who doesn't want to take it with all their might, why don't you try?" Baili peerless fingers flicked the begonia flowers on the table, and his voice was low.

There was a wordless silence behind the screen.

After a while, the male voice sounded: "Chonghua, after so many years, do you have the idea of getting involved in the world?" ”

With a pause of Baili's peerless fingers, a begonia petal fell into the turquoise teacup.

Is it all over the world? He remembered that Yue Changsi had also asked him so.

Baili peerless watched the petals float on the tea water, his eyes were dark, and people couldn't distinguish emotions.

"The country is powerful, who doesn't want to get involved. But I am the only one who can't touch it, and I don't want to touch it. ”

"Oh?" The man wondered, "Why is that?" ”

"Because of one person." A gentle smile appeared on Baili's peerless lips, and his voice became softer.

"A person, a woman?" The man seemed to ask.

"Not bad, because of a woman." Baili's peerless expression was leisurely, and his tone was firm.

"Or her?"

"It's always been her."

"Oh? I didn't expect that the dignified Qi An Houye would give up the whole world for a woman, I'm afraid no one will believe it. ”

"If you don't have her, what's the use of having this world?" Baili's peerless voice is faint, but there is infinite affection and pride hidden in the words, as if in an instant, this country and beauty are only in a thought.

"What about me, I have nothing, what's the use of asking for this world?" The man's words suddenly became angry, and there was infinite sadness and pain in his voice.

"That's why you have to pick yourself up and get what belongs to you back." Baili's peerless voice was cold, "If you are content with the status quo, the truth of the rebellion of the twelve cities of Yanzhou six years ago and the destruction of the Heavenly Ghost Gate will never be revealed to the world, and the crown prince and King Rong will definitely use this as an opportunity to distort the facts for the sake of imperial power. ”

There was silence again behind the screen.

"You're right, I really can't rest on my laurels, otherwise I won't be able to face those who died." After a long time, the man spoke firmly.

Seeing that Baili Peerless said that he was moved, he stood up and said, "All plans are in progress, Changsi and I will definitely find a way to let you come back in style." ”

"Good. Chonghua, then I'll trouble you. The silhouette on the screen moved slightly, and the man stood up.

"You're welcome, I'm here to protect someone. Leave. ”

"Walk slowly."

A hundred miles of peerless clothes are gone.

In the turquoise teacup, the begonia petals shook lightly and sank to the bottom of the cup.
