Buzhou City is the second largest city in the Great Zhou Dynasty after the Imperial City, with a population of more than 10 million, and the major families are entrenched here, and the forces are numerous and intricate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Among them, the four families of Wang, Li, Song, and Chen are big families that belong to the second echelon of Buzhou City.

At this moment, in the reception hall of the Li Mansion.

Li Zhen, Wang Hong, Chen Chong, and Song Yang gathered together and sat in columns.

And sitting in the first place in the main hall master was a man in black who was shrouded in black robes, and his face could not be seen clearly, and he could not even distinguish his gender.

"I don't know why the envoy is here this time?" Li Zhen was the first to speak.

"I came here this time to convey the instructions of the young master and Bai Gongzi. "The voice of the man in black is very strange, and he can't tell whether it's a man or a woman," the young master reached an agreement with Bai Rhodiola of the End of the World Pavilion this time to kill a guy named Yama. ā€

"Bai Rhodiola, I have also heard from him recently, it seems that he is an outstanding disciple who has been cultivated by the Tianya Sea Pavilion, and he is also specially allowed to enter the Sumeru realm? But how could the young master have anything to do with him? Who is that Yama?" Li Zhen and the four looked at each other and asked very suspiciously.

"Hmph, how can you doubt the young master's order. The man in black said in a cold, emotionless voice, "But it doesn't hurt to tell you." The young master originally bought Bai Rhodiola's younger brother Bai Jingcheng to kill the rebel Ma Hou, but he was rescued, and even Bai Jingcheng was forced to blow himself up. In order to force out the murderer behind the scenes, Bai Rhodiola designed to kill Ma Hou in public, but unexpectedly, the whole plan was ruined by Yama Luo, who was killed halfway, which made Bai Rhodiola suffer a big loss. ā€

Bai Rhodiola traced the young master from Ma Hou's body, but there was no grudge between the two, on the contrary, there was a consistent enemy, and finally an agreement was reached, Bai Rhodiola took Ma Hou as a condition and asked the young master to kill Yama Luo in the process of this Loulan relics expedition treasure hunt. ā€

"I see. Li Zhen and the others nodded, and then asked curiously, "Then why didn't Bai Rhodiola kill Yama himself?"

"Rhodiola is cultivating with all his might in the Sumeru Realm at the moment, and he has no time to get out. In addition, after all, he and Yan Luo are both disciples of the Tianya Sea Pavilion, and if the cannibalism of the same sect is found out, it will still be more troublesome. Although the man in black spoke in a cold tone, he had to answer all questions.

"Sure enough, among these disciples of the Tianya Sea Pavilion, they just like to make this set of bad tricks of the yin people behind them. Wang Hong said with some disdain, "By the way, since that Yama Luo is a disciple of the Tianya Sea Pavilion, his strength should not be weak, right?"

"Quite the opposite. The man in black shook his head and said, "This Yama is just a supernumerary disciple who just joined this year, and his strongest strength is only the peak of the second grade." ā€

"Haha, so weak, do you still need to bother us?" Song Yang said speechless and disdainful.

"This is the order of the young master, and it must not be disobeyed. The man in black said coldly, "However, there should be other disciples of the Tianya Sea Pavilion around this Yama, and the young master's order is to kill Yama as much as possible without harming them." ā€

"I see. Li Zhen and the four of them nodded at the same time and said respectfully, "We will do what the young master ordered, and Yama will definitely die at our hands." ā€

"By the way, what does that Yama look like?"

The man in black didn't speak, he directly took out a portrait and unfolded it, and it was the portrait of Yama painted on it.

"Remember, this killing order is a secret operation, and it must not be leaked, otherwise you will know the consequences. The man in black said a word before leaving.

"Yes. The four masters nodded in reply.

......

Yan Luo, Huangfu Qingyi and Murong Xiuyan stayed in an inn, waiting for the opening of the Loulan Relic City the day after tomorrow.

However, I don't know why since entering Buzhou City, Murong Xiuyan's expression has become a little wary and flustered, and she often looks around cautiously, as if she is guarding against something.

Yan Luo asked, but Murong Xiuyan didn't answer, just prevaricated casually.

looked at Huangfu Qingyi, but did not get an accurate answer.

On the branches of the moon, the guests of the inn have already rested.

Murong Xiuyan couldn't sleep, and there was a faint bad feeling in her heart, as if something big was going to happen to her.

This feeling began to loom from the moment she just stepped into Buzhou City.

Originally, she felt a little upset because of the small interaction between Yan Luo and Huangfu Qingyi, and in this mood, she felt even more depressed, and there was a feeling of being breathless.

Yes, she likes Yama a little, and there are still some small grievances and resentments in her heart, obviously she and Yama knew each other first, why is the emperor now Qingyi and Yama "hot", eyebrows, and gave her a butterfly hairpin.

Nothing on their own, huh, bad guy.

In fact, the first impression at the beginning was that she didn't want to see Yama, and when she saw a beautiful woman with a good figure in the carriage, her eyes lit up, and finally she ran to her side after eating the closed door, which is typical of seeing color.

Later, staying in the same inn, he shamelessly eavesdropped on his conversation, and if it weren't for Fluttershy stopping him, he really couldn't help but rush over and beat him up, this eavesdropping maniac.

Immediately afterwards, in order to vent her anger, she deliberately lured Yama to visit the city lord's mansion at night, and was really caught red-handed in the end.

However, at the moment when she saw Yama Luo being pressed to the ground by many guards and unable to resist, she was a little unbearable, and some regretted that she had made such an outrageous move-she was a good girl with a soft heart, how could she design to harm people.

This faint regret slowly changed in the subsequent life-saving grace, especially when she was in danger, Yama Luo was majestic, bravely stood up and fought to the death with the flower thief, and successfully killed him, at that moment, her heart was filled with a sense of gratitude and inexplicable shyness.

After that, there was no news of him, until he reunited at the end of the world, and he became more bold and charming than before. The moment she saw Yan Luo again, Murong Xiuyan didn't know how delicate her mood was, there was excitement, joy, happiness, and annoyance, and there were mixed tastes.

Also, this time when we went out on an adventure together, she originally thought that her strength was weak and she didn't want to hold everyone back, but when Yama came, she came.

However, who knew that Yan Luo actually looked at the emperor in front of her, which really made her feel very depressed.

Tossing and turning couldn't sleep, Murong Xiuyan simply didn't sleep, and walked out of the room directly, heading down the corridor towards the backyard.

When she came to the vicinity of the pavilion, Murong Xiuyan stared at a figure and saw a figure, her face was happy, and then she returned to her calm and walked over.

"The night is very beautiful tonight, there are so many stars!" Murong Xiuyan walked into the pavilion, sat beside Yan Luo, followed his example, and looked up at the starry sky, "The silver moon retreats, and the stars are all over the sky!"

Yan Luo propped his hands on the chair, leaned back slightly, and did not turn his head, as soon as Murong Xiuyan approached him, he could hear the footsteps.

"The moon did not retreat, but was temporarily obscured by dark clouds. Yama said softly, then pointed with his hand, "Look, there it is." ā€

Sure enough, a waning moon emerged from the clouds.

"No matter how bright the stars are, the brightest thing to see at night is the moon. Yan Luo stared at the waning moon, as if he was talking to himself, as if he was talking to Murong Xiuyan.

"The only star you can see is the moon. Murong Xiuyan tilted her head and looked at the starry sky and said softly.

"The moon is not a star. Yama shook his head slightly.

"It's the brightest, isn't it a star?" Murong Xiuyan turned her gaze a little puzzled and stared at Yan Luo's side face.

"The moon only reflects the sun's rays, and the stars are the ones that shine on their own like the sun. Yan Luo decided to give Murong Xiuyan a basic knowledge that even elementary school students know on earth, "The moon only relies on the sun to shine by the way. ā€

"Even if you rely on the sun, the moon is very useful. Isn't it more useful to have a moon that can provide light at night than the sun, which is useless in the daytime?" Murong Xiuyan tilted her head and asked with some doubts.

Yama glanced at her, then turned his head to continue staring at the waning moon in the sky, and said softly, "The reason why the day is bright is precisely because of the useless sun you mentioned. ā€

"Oh, I see. When Murong Xiuyan heard this, she gently slapped her head with her right hand.

"Day and night, the sun and the stars are at work. Yama's eyes wandered, and he said softly, "But it can't be said that the moon is useless. Even if there are more stars in the night, I can only see the moon in my eyes. ā€

Murong Xiuyan's delicate body trembled slightly when she heard this, she took her eyes back from the starry sky, slowly turned her head, stared at Yan Luo's side face, and was stunned, at that moment, countless thoughts appeared in her heart, and then said faintly, "I can only see a very special star now." ā€

"What? didn't you say there were a lot of stars?" Yama asked softly without turning his head.

"Yes, there are a lot. But there is always a star that shines brightly, shining all the time, and I can't help but look at him. Murong Xiuyan said softly.

"Is there such a star?" Yan Luo was a little puzzled, his eyes scanned back and forth in the starry sky, as if he wanted to find the "particularly dazzling" star that Murong Xiuyan said.

"Yes. It's a star that many people like, and I'm just hiding it among many people and liking that star, it shouldn't matter, right?" Murong Xiaoxiao said.

"Do you still have to ask for permission for such a thing? go ask the stars, don't you see it now?" said Yama.

"Yes, I'm looking at the star right now. Murong Xiuyan was just like that, quietly looking at Yan Luo, looking at it, her eyes were red unconsciously, but she didn't realize it, and subconsciously whispered, "Let me like you?"

The cool breeze gradually rose, and in the moonlight, the girl stared at the young man with tears in her eyes.

Yama seemed to sense something, and turned his head sharply.

What I saw was Murong Xiuyan looking up at the moon, and vaguely, Yan Luo saw the tear stains on Murong Xiuyan's cheeks by the moonlight.

"She's crying!"
