Chapter 20: Death

Somewhere in the world, in the dark forest, a magnificent palace stands proudly. In the main hall, a few dim candles barely illuminated the empty hall.

A woman, reclining her slender body, sits on a wicker chair. The woman looked about thirty, with waist-length hair, a faint smile on her beautiful face, revealing an unapproachable noble temperament and an incomprehensible sense of mystery.

Next to the woman stood an equally slender and handsome man. The man looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was very reluctant but very serious to beat the woman's shoulder.

In the main hall, a man with a scholarly temperament was holding a golden blood ball in both hands, and this person was Shao Buyu.

"Master, the last phoenix blood has been taken. Shao was silent.

"Well, thank you. I'll take care of the rest. ”

"Yes. ”

"Oh, there's a little thing I want you to take care of for me again. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Twenty years ago, I met a child on my way through the country of Qi, and I heard that he had recently become the leader of the forbidden army of the country of Qi. It's time to bring him to meet me. He's a dead servant, just like you. ”

"Yes, my masterβ€”Death!"

"Fuyuki, will you give him a ride?"

The man next to the woman suddenly exploded, bared his teeth, like an angry cat, and roared, "Why me again?"

"Who else but you has the ability to send him back to the Celestial South Kingdom from here at once?" the woman said with a smile.

"Miss Kiyoko occasionally helps to deliver guests!" the man named Fuyuki grumbled as he walked towards Shao Buyu.

When he came to Shao Buyu's side, he stretched out a hand and put it on Shao Buyu's shoulder, and said, "Let's go!" As soon as the words fell, the figures of the two disappeared......

............

In the valley, Lan Ming and his party followed the white wolf to the outside of the cave. After Lan Ming and the others repaired the carriage, the white wolf pulled the carriage to the mountain road, and the group returned to the road.

Nano soon fell asleep, and when he woke up, he found that he had arrived in Luo Wan, the capital of Qi Kingdom. Two carriages later, a huge white wolf decorated as a circus pet slowly followed, and Lan Ling rode on the white wolf's back.

It turned out that last night, Lan Ming had thought of a plan, and after discussing with the white wolf, he disguised it as a family pet to avoid people's eyes. Although its huge body is extremely conspicuous, the people of Luo Wan don't seem to care, because there are many strange artists here every day, and people are not surprised.

On the surface, this banquet was to celebrate Fan Zhi's 27th birthday, but in fact, people knew that it was to celebrate his ascension to the imperial capital a few months ago.

Lan Ming and his entourage came to the declaration office for the performance of this banquet, and a trial performance made the officials who reviewed it all the time, and it was quickly passed.

Afterwards, everyone was arranged in the guest room of Fan Zhi's mansion, and the white wolf rested in the stable, quiet like a camel.

After settling down, Lan Ming gathered everyone. It stands to reason that their purpose of coming to Luo Wan has been achieved, and when the performance is finished tomorrow, they can leave after taking the money, and they also brought the white wolf to Fan Zhi's house, and what happens after that has nothing to do with them.

But to everyone's surprise, Lan Ming actually asked the others to leave Qi Country quickly.

"If the white wolf attacks Fan Zhi tomorrow, no matter what the result is, we will definitely be punished for bringing the white wolf in. For everyone's safety, I advise you to get out of here as soon as possible. ”

"This ......" Everyone was speechless, originally everyone thought that they could make a lot of money, but they were awakened by Lan Ming's words.

Lan Ming took out a bag of money, distributed it to everyone, and said, "This is the money that our brothers and sisters have accumulated over the years, so let's use it as your travel expenses." Thank you all for staying with us for so long. ”

"Otherwise, we will inform Fan Zhi in advance, maybe he can let us go, so that we can all be together. A dancer reluctantly left, suggested.

"Let's not talk about whether anyone believes it, there is a question of whether or not you can see Fan Zhi. Lan Ling said.

"But what about you two, won't you go away with us?" said the woman.

"Now the safest way is to let you get out of here first, and you don't have to worry about me and Lan Ling. ”

"Then you two take care!"

The four of them went back to their rooms to pack their belongings and left in a hurry.

"It's my turn. After the four of them left, Nano said with a wry smile.

"Get out of here, too. After today, this may become a place of right and wrong, and I don't know if I will be able to protect you then. "Lan Ling.

"Could it be that you also have any grievances with that Fan Zhi?"

Lan Ming and Lan Ling were both stunned, and then Lan Ming said, "How do you say this?"

"It's just a feeling. ”

"Anyway, you can go. "Lan Ling.

After saying goodbye to the brother and sister, Nano did not leave Luo Wan, but found an inn near Fan Zhi's mansion to live in, and after some inquiry, Namwithout learned that five years ago, Lan Feng, the general of Zhenxi in Qi State, died in battle, and it was Lan Feng's favorite general Fan Zhi who took his place. Now, Nano seems to understand something.

"I'd better stay here longer. Hopeless Fan Zhi's mansion, he touched the long knife on his waist and sighed softly.

......

In the middle of the night, a dexterous black figure shuttled across the rooftop, skillfully avoiding the sight of the patrolling soldiers, and then, the black figure jumped into a courtyard and disappeared into the night.

"Is everyone arranged?" asked a handsome but burly man in a study, who was none other than Fan Zhi.

"Don't worry, my lord, everything is ready, tomorrow is just waiting for you to speak, and no one will want to leave here. The answer was another commander of the forbidden army, Yang Yun, the director of the Guards Division.

"The king has two powerful guards by his side, so be careful. ”

"Yes. ”

"Go down, be careful on the road, don't let anyone see you. ”

Yang Yun walked out of the room, looked around, and found that an afterimage flashed around the eaves in the west in the distance, thinking it was a blackbird, and left without paying attention.

Lan Ling returned to his residence, changed his clothes and hurriedly ran to Lan Ming's room, closed the doors and windows, and then Lan Ling whispered, "It's not good." ”

"What's wrong? Did you find Fan Zhi?" Lan Ming.

"Found it, Fan Zhi is planning to rebel, we have to hurry up and inform the king that tomorrow's banquet is a conspiracy. ”

Since ancient times, royal power has been granted by the temple, and it has been seen and heard of large countries annexing small countries, but rebellion has rarely occurred. Are you sure Fan Zhi is going to rebel?"

"Have you forgotten how he killed our entire family and took my father's position as general?"

Lan Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "Lan Ling, how about sneaking into the palace with your skills?"

"The palace is not as well guarded as here, and I am not familiar with it, so I am afraid that it is not possible to rush in. It's better to secretly protect at the banquet tomorrow, plus the white wolf, it should be no problem. ”

"Well, so be it. This may be the perfect opportunity for us to take revenge. ”

......

The next morning, Namu got up, and at noon, Fan Zhi's mansion was already overcrowded, and there was an endless stream of guests, and Nano also mixed in.

However, here, Nano saw a familiar face, and that person was none other than the warlock, Jinyu.

"Yo, little brother, let's meet again. Jinyu took the initiative to come over and greet Nano.

"What are you doing here?"

"Don't you know? This is my old job. With that, Jinyou picked up the dim sum on the table and ate it happily.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you stay in the Twilight Kingdom with that little princess? I didn't expect you to be able to defeat the Wanderers, I really underestimated you. Jinyu continued.

"Last time you said you knew who I was?"

"Oh, that's it, I heard about you before I went to Twilight. A snoozy swordsman, an anonymous man, a wanderer who can help people solve any problem. ”

"Any other news about me?"

"It's gone. ”

"Thank you!" After saying that, Nano turned around and wanted to leave.

"By the way, I heard Liuyan mention that the blade of the knife in your hand is transparent. If you want to find your background, you can go to the Imperial Sword Ridge to find the Great Sword Master Yazi and ask, he is an old man who has lived for three hundred years, and the things he has seen and heard are probably piled up higher than the sky, especially about swords. "Jinyu.

Na Wu was shocked and sighed, "Liuwu is not dead?"

"I really hope that we will not be enemies again. If one day you know more about the world, but don't understand why, you can come to me. I can take you to my master. ”

"Who is your master?"

"Death!"

Nano was stunned, "Could it be that the legend I heard before is true?"

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, after the death of the living soul, the body returned to dust for several months, and the soul was scattered in seven days. In the seven days, those who had grievances before their lives were reborn with spirits and turned into a ruin, and the blood feud was turned into a ruin. Bloodthirsty and bloodthirsty for the disaster was a great disaster at that time.

Later, there is a person, whose body is immortal and whose soul is immortal, gathers the souls of the world at the ends of the earth, opens the abyss of crying, sets up a soul judgment, and manages the souls of the dead. There will be no such calamity in the Hereafter, and death will come from this.

When the name didn't come back to his senses, Jinyou had already disappeared into the crowd.

At this time, two rows of soldiers escorted a sedan chair and walked in line. When the sedan chair landed, a thirteen-year-old boy walked out, and everyone present knelt down in unison......
