Yue Mangong's excitement was indescribable. He hadn't felt this state of excitement for many years, after all, as the prince of the country of the fierce, he had been "captive" in the palace since he was a child, and many things were just ordinary things for him. There are always people who envy the emperor's family affairs, but who knows that the emperor will be born without freedom, and he will be born with a good life?

Therefore, Yue Mangong saw that his friend had such amazing potential at this moment, and his happiness was also a matter of course.

"Nine and a half, let me introduce you to a master, right? I worship one of the great internal offerings, Master Zhao, who is the best in the country of light merit, and is good at using swords, you worship him as a teacher, and you will definitely achieve unlimited achievements in the future!"

This man, who is the prince of a country, is so excited at the moment, as if he sees a new star rising, his eyes are shining with a different light. It would be great if this new star had risen in my hands or even ended up with me.

But Jiu Ban didn't seem to have any intention of apprenticeship, he didn't say that no one knew what he was thinking about, Yue Mangong just saw the man in front of him rubbing his hands and then grinning at him, not resisting but not showing acceptance.

In fact, not only Yue Mangong took a fancy to him, but even Wei Xicheng also had a very high opinion of him at this moment. In Wei Xiyan's cognition, the situation of nine and a half is not uncommon. After missing the opportunity to participate in the Shengshu Tournament, he chose to travel between the nine countries, and the experience of traveling in those years told him that it was not impossible to be a late bloomer, and even said that the strength of some late bloomers would be even more terrifying.

His mind drifted away, and Wei Xicheng's mind gradually used the memories of his travels. Those days were really much more colorful than they are now, and of course they were much more dangerous. But the danger is also dangerous, and the fun is much more, and if you don't encounter those dangers, I'm afraid you won't be able to meet Xiaofan. Thinking of Xiaofan, Wei Xicheng's heart couldn't help but become beautiful.

But after the beauty passed, Wei Xi suddenly remembered that he seemed to have something very important to say. To be honest, this matter is not big or small, but it is by no means impossible to say. So he straightened his face and said to Jiuhan, who was still excited at the moment: "Brother Jiuhan, I have something to ask for, I don't know if you can agree?"

"It's not serious, don't ask for it. Nine and a half responded with a grin. At this time, he had not yet reacted from his state of excitement, after all, his purpose in borrowing the sky was to change his fortune and obtain the ability to take revenge. It's just that he has become so powerful by absorbing the lives of the "Grave Wailing" and the "Worshippers", if the Heaven Borrowing continues, how far will he go? Even he doesn't know.

Corresponding to Jiuhan's attitude, Wei Xicheng's expression remained serious, and he responded: "This is very important. ”

Seeing Wei Xicheng's expression, Jiuhan couldn't help but get serious. No matter how a person behaves, his eyes can't deceive people, just like Wei Xicheng is now.

"You say. ”

"My beloved daughter hasn't been named yet, but you saved her, so I wonder if Brother Nine and a Half can give her a name?" As he spoke, Wei Xicheng's gaze moved from Nine Half's body to the house behind him. In this house in this courtyard there were his wives and children sleeping deeply. After returning from a lap on the edge of life and death, Wei Xicheng cherished the life he currently had even more, he not only had to stay with his beloved wife Xiaofan until he was old, but also had to pick up the martial arts that he had abandoned for a long time, otherwise if he met another seven lives, I am afraid it would be dangerous.

Seeing the change in Wei Xi's expression, Jiuhan fell into deep thought, and Yue Mangong on the side also temporarily put aside Jiuhan's matter and stepped forward and said, "Brother Wei, there is one thing I haven't told you...... According to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, Xiao Fan may never be able to change back to human form. ”

"So what?" Almost without thinking, Wei Xiyan responded: "She's just been broken, and her body hasn't been harmed. I love her, and not just her body. So I will always stay by her side, even if birth, old age, sickness and death are impermanent, I will always be consistent. ”

It seemed that he was moved by Wei Xiyan, and Jiu Ban suddenly said excitedly at this moment: "There is!"

"What?"

"Brother Wei's daughter is also related to me, and she is the first person I rescued on the way back to China, so why don't you call her Fu'er?"

Wei Xicheng pondered for a moment and said three good words in succession. In this way, after many years, the girl who was famous would never have thought that her name would be decided so easily, but it was still good.

The night was gradually getting thicker and a little cooler, Yue Mangong seemed to want to say something, but suddenly a birdsong came across the sky and cut through the silent night, it was the cry of an eagle falcon. Yue Mangong responded with a long whistle, so in less than three breaths, a "green falcon" landed on Yue Mangong's shoulder. Named for its cyan feathers and yellow, dull pupils, the Falcon is a great candidate for couriers because of its ability to fly long distances. However, the disadvantage is even more obvious, that is, most green and yellow falcons are difficult to domesticate, so they are almost impossible to obtain among the nine kingdoms that are not royalty.

After the green and yellow falcon landed on Yue Mangong's shoulder, he took out the letter paper from the mailbox on the falcon's claws, looked at it carefully, and said to Jiu Ban with an excited face: "Jiu Han, do you want to hear any news?"

"It's the other four countries that have replied to the letter, right?" In fact, Jiu Ban's mood was even more excited at the moment, after all, as the prince of the dead country, his desire to reply to the nine countries was even more urgent.

The mystery was guessed so quickly, which was a bit of a blow to Yue Mangong, but he still told Jiu Ban the contents of the letter as it was: The other four countries have already sent receipts, and they have all sent envoys on the way to the capital of the country, and the meeting of the five kingdoms will be held in three days at the earliest.

A good news brought the night to a successful end, whether it was Jiu Ban, Yue Mangong or Wei Xicheng, they all slept quietly with a lot of happiness in this night. Everything seems to be ready, they just have to wait quietly for the sun tomorrow.

Nothing was said all night.

In the unknown time and space, the man's face is hidden in the shadows, busy nervously. He only had a few fingers on his hands that could move, but those fingers were as nimble as elves. As the minutes ticked by, only the lights and screens flickered quietly in the entire space, and everything else seemed to be extremely quiet.

Suddenly, a mechanical female voice appeared in the space, and the man listened to the voice and temporarily stopped his busyness:

"No. 9 has completed the second stage of transformation, and the third stage of transformation is being prepared......"

The cold voice without a trace of emotion made people feel extremely uncomfortable, but at this moment the corners of the man's mouth curled up in a beautiful arc, and then the keyboard sound sounded again, as if something great was happening.

The chirping of birds is the medicine to wake up from a deep sleep, and one sunny morning wakes up to the sound of such birdsong, but the whole body is sore.

This feeling of soreness is not only physical, but also mentally transmitted from the spirit to the body, which can be explained in two words: nervousness.

It was the morning of the fifth day after that night, but the mental state of the nine and a half was much more solemn than the previous days. There is no other reason, just because today is the day of the Five Nations Meeting.

Will they help me?

Am I really going to be alone?

Can the five countries work together? What should I do?

There were too many questions piled up in his heart and he was so depressed that he couldn't breathe, and these things made him toss and turn and couldn't sleep well, but they made him have to think about it. So he couldn't sleep at night, and woke up early during the day, and his spirit became bad. In fact, as Jiu Ban expected, he is at the crossroads of his life at the moment, and it is difficult for him to make independent decisions and choices. The best outcome of the Five-Nation Coalition is, of course, an alliance of five nations, which will not only work together against the three countries that provoked the war, but will also help him restore the country that has lost his country, but also the worst result is that the five nations will fight separately and will not unite, so that not only will it be easier to be defeated by each one, but there will be no hope for him to restore the country.

Sorrow, around the nine and a half.

So in fact, when Wei Xicheng walked behind the ninth half, he was almost unaware. At this time, Wei Xicheng's injuries had healed most of them, and the bandages on his body had almost been removed. Wei Xicheng is a person with deep internal strength, not to mention that at this time, the emotions of Jiu and a half have been dissipated, and the whole person is in an absent-minded state, so it is natural that he did not find the appearance of Wei Xiyan.

"Brother Nine-and-a-half, what do you want?" Wei Xicheng's voice came, and Nine-and-half just turned around slowly but did not show an overly surprised expression. Jiuhan, who has experienced so many things, is no longer the immature him he was at the beginning, how can he make a fuss so easily?

He sighed softly and didn't speak, although he didn't say anything, the sorrow was already written on his face, but what could he do? Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wei Xicheng just patted him lightly on the shoulder, after all, there are some things that others can't help, and the sorrow in the center of these things is the first to bear the brunt.

Although no one was present, the atmosphere between the two at this moment was also very depressing. In order to alleviate the depression, Wei Xicheng cleared his throat and said, "The messenger of the country of the imprisoned cattle is here, and it looks like ..... Very strong. ”

"Very strong, how strong?" Jiu Ban's eyes suddenly changed, his head was no longer lowered, but he raised it and looked at Wei Xicheng with a determined look.

And what Wei Xicheng knows, that kind of look is called faith.

In fact, the change in the expression of the nine and a half is not unreasonable. Everyone in the world knows that the master of the imprisoned cow has been in retreat for many years, and the domestic political history is done by the national teacher Shaohong. And the national teacher Shaohong is rumored to be the strongest person in the country of imprisoned cows. If the envoy of the country of the imprisoned ox is Shaohong, then his hope of recovering the country of the country will be more than a point.

After all, he and Wu Liangzi used to walk together, and Wu Liangzi was Shaohong's proud disciple.

Sure enough, from Wei Xicheng's description, it was learned that half an hour ago, a woman with a golden crown and a belt came to the city with three retinues, and then was welcomed into the palace from the main gate by the monarch of the Fierce Kingdom. Shaohong's preference for gold is well known to passers-by, and being greeted by the monarch from the main gate of the palace is probably not necessary to guess the identity of this person, right?

Thinking of this, Jiu Ban grinned at Wei Xicheng, obviously a lot happier.

A day later, the palace was very lively, very lively. The monarch opened the glorious guard of honor, opened the middle door, and personally welcomed the arrival of one distinguished guest after another. It stands to reason that as the head of a country, he doesn't need to be polite to whoever comes, but whoever thinks so, he will immediately withdraw his thoughts after hearing the guest list.

Who are the comers?

In fact, there are not many people, just four, they are: Prisoner Niu Guoshi, Shaohong, Pu Jiao Guo Prince, Wan Duming, Jin Zhuzi, the new prince of the country of hegemony. There were only four guests in total, but each of them represented a country. And the purpose of these five people gathering together is even more obvious: to discuss matters related to the confrontation against the Triple Alliance and the restoration of the Lost State.

Today's level is really difficult for Jiuhan.

In fact, when I woke up this morning, I felt the smell of gunpowder in the air, which was not easy. These perceptions of the smell of gunpowder do not only come from his own psychological pressure, but also from the confrontation between the forces of the five nations that love you. You must know that there are two lords of one country in the city today, two princes of two countries, and two national teachers who can represent their respective countries. The luck of the five countries collided together, how could the smell of gunpowder be small?

So it took a whole morning to finish combing, and after settling down, Jiu Ban casually ate some food to fill the emptiness of his stomach, then put on the clothes prepared for him by Wei Xicheng, and walked towards the main hall under the guidance of the servants.

As the black nine-and-a-half man got closer to the main hall, his heartbeat became faster and faster, and he became more and more nervous. No matter how gorgeous and dazzling the eaves and arches beside him are, they are not within the scope of the nine and a half senses at this moment, and his whole brain is thinking about a question at the moment:

"Will the Lord of the Five Nations accept the return of the Negative Territory?"

The main hall was getting closer and closer, and Nine Half seemed to faintly hear the quarrel in the hall. What are they discussing? Are they really discussing the restoration of the country? Is there someone who does not agree with the restoration of the country of the country? No, it shouldn't be, it should just be noisy.

There were so many thoughts in his mind, and his fast-running brain made him almost block out external information, so much so that when Yue Mangong stopped him, he even unconsciously let out an "ah", startling the other party.

"Nine-and-a-half, don't be nervous, those people are just people. Yue Mangong pressed Jiuhan's shoulder and said to him. When he pressed Jiuhan's shoulder, Jiuhan seemed to feel a hot current from the other party's hand into his body, and his "banging" heart finally calmed down a little. sighed a long way, and seemed to spit out most of his sorrow and nervousness, and the nervous expression of the nine and a half seemed to have eased a lot.

"I'm fine, I'm just too nervous. He squeezed his fist lightly and found that it was already covered in sweat.

Yue Mangong saw that the nine-and-a-half state had relaxed a lot, and he was much more relaxed. He thought for a moment, and then said: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, the monarchs of the four kingdoms are not all present today, so even if the result is not so ideal, there is still room for maneuver." ”

"I know. Jiu Ban responded: "Brother Wei has already told me before, the country of the imprisoned cow sent the national teacher Shaohong, right?"

"That's right. In fact, it is not only a prisoner cow, the envoy of the country of the fierce is the national teacher Jin Zhuzi, the prince Wan Duming sent by Pu Lao, and only the country of the hegemon is the new monarch who came in person. It's just ......" Speaking of this, Yue Mangong was a little eager to say something, as if there were some things that should not be said.

"It's just what?" The more Yue Mangong didn't say anything, the more Jiu Ban wanted to ask for an understanding, but it was obvious that it was almost impossible.

After thinking about it, Yue Mangong still didn't say anything. In the end, the prince of a country only said some words of encouragement to Jiu Ban and left, after all, Yue Mangong at this time was only the prince of the country of the fierce, not the monarch.

"Some things may have to be felt by you, I said...... Not necessarily. ”

Looking at Yue Mangong's somewhat tired figure when he left, Jiu Ban seemed to understand something. So you've done your best for me, thank you.

After tidying up his clothes, it seemed that the triumphant song had been played in his ears, and he walked towards the main hall in stride. Everything seemed to be ready, and it was inevitable that the road to recovery would be bumpy, and although he already knew that he would fight to the battlefield and fight to the death, it was obvious that he was not fully prepared.

But the enemy will not wait for you. The sword was not matched, and it entered the rivers and lakes. But once you enter the rivers and lakes to urge people to grow old, the world will never be again. Who said that immature chivalrous warriors must die in the hands of old swordsmen, and the more they fight, the more courageous they become, don't you guess that it should be the right way in the world?

Jiu Ban never thought that this palace hall in front of him would be his first battlefield, but so what? I, Jiu Ban, am here.
