"Bang!boom!"

At noon, three gongs opened the way in front, a team of soldiers and horses escorted six prisoner cars walking in the streets and alleys of Jinling City, Yin Mo, the commander of the city army, rode a high-headed horse to personally lead the team, and the four officials on both sides of the team kept shouting loudly along the way: "Listen up, these people trespassed into the Xinwuhou Mansion this morning, killing people and setting fires, and it was verified that these people are the remnants of the Soul Sect Lu Yifan, the emperor and the earth are a lesson, how can the dignified holy domain tolerate such thieves and misdeeds, and despise the king's law?" His Majesty the Emperor has ordered these six people to be designated as rebellious ministers and thieves, and they will be beheaded in front of the gate of the imperial city on the first day of the seventh month to set an example!"

The six rebellious ministers and thieves mentioned by the official were Ji Yuan, Xie Yun, Lan Chen, Zheng Xiaowu, Yin Xi and Liu Meng, who broke into the Han Mansion early this morning to rescue Han Ling'er. In fact, today Su Xie knew that he and Han Cheng were going to Shangwen Hou's Mansion for a banquet, and he had already expected that the remnants of the Soul Sect would take the opportunity to sneak into Han Mansion to rescue Han Ling'er, so early in the morning he deliberately took Han Cheng, Dongfang Su, Shi Tian and others, but he secretly left the black robe and the beast domain master Xiao Canghai, the spirit domain master Xiao Liuyi and the four immortal venerables of Donghua Palace secretly in the mansion, Su Xie expected that if someone came today, it was very likely that it would be Lu Yifan or Liu Sandao, but he never expected to catch Ji Yuan's six people in the end. The person hiding in the room where Han Xiao was imprisoned in the morning was none other than Su Xie's cronies, the black robe.

In front of peerless masters like the Black Robe and the Four Immortal Venerables of Donghua Palace, Ji Yuan and the others had no power to resist at all, and in the end they could only fall into their hands. Later, Han Cheng reported this matter to the emperor, and pushed the charge of killing the powerful people and royal relatives in Jinling City during this time to Ji Yuan and others, which was convenient for Han Cheng to deal with, and on the other hand, it could also completely arouse the emperor's desire to destroy the soul sect. Sure enough, in a fit of rage, the emperor condemned the six people of Ji Yuan as rebellious ministers and thieves, and asked Han Cheng to execute them personally. Han Cheng came back and told Su Xie about this, and after discussion, Su Xie decided to set the time of executing Ji Yuan and the others on the same day as the time when he married Han Ling'er, and under double pressure, he didn't believe that Lu Yifan would not show up. After that, Han Cheng ordered Yin Mo to lead his troops to escort Ji Yuan's six people to parade through the streets, and his ultimate purpose was also to inform the world of this matter and force Lu Yifan to show up.

The streets and alleys of Jinling City are now full of people, these people who don't know the truth are the easiest to be fooled and blinded, and now the whole of the holy area has characterized Lu Yifan and the disciples of the Soul Sect as heinous and traitorous people, so today I saw that Ji Yuan's six people were trapped in the prison car and paraded through the streets, and the surrounding people not only did not know sympathy, but also clapped their hands and praised, and even picked up rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs and other things and smashed them at Ji Yuan's six people on the prison car.

At this moment, the six people of Ji Yuan have all been tortured, and they were beaten and bruised all over their bodies in the Han Mansion, and they repeatedly asked about the whereabouts of Lu Yifan and the other people of the Soul Sect, but the six people of Ji Yuan really would rather die, and watched their whipped skin and flesh open one by one, and the bones of their whole bodies were broken I don't know how many, but they still didn't vomit a word. The guards of the Han Mansion tried their best to use all the torture tools, but they still couldn't get half a useful word from their mouths.

"They're the people of the Soul Sect, and sure enough, they all look fierce and vicious, and they don't look like good people!"

"That is, these are all murderous demons, and the innocent lives that have died in their hands over the years are not a thousand but eight hundred. ”

"That's right, I've seen them break into people's houses, kill the men in other people's houses, and surround dozens of people in front of everyone to **** other people's girls and young women, that's not as good as a beast ......"

All of a sudden, there was nothing to say among the onlookers, and it was the habit of the ignorant people to lie and spread rumors, and a short man with thieves and rat eyes took great pains to tell the people around him about the bad deeds of Lu Yifan who bullied men and women that he had seen with his "own eyes", and the people around him were almost fascinated when they heard it, and they nodded their heads when they listened to it, and after listening to it, they gritted their teeth one by one, as if Lu Yifan and the people of the Soul Sect had killed their father. The half-unconscious and half-dead Ji Yuan and the six people were tied up in the prisoner car, and they did not react to the ignorant people around them to scold, spit on, and throw eggs. Yin Mo rode a tall horse and drove the people blocking the road with a whip, while shouting: "Just look, don't approach! Violators will be arrested for the crime of making trouble!"

"Xinwu is so good, it's really nice to be able to catch these murderous demons!" I don't know who in the crowd shouted first, and then someone echoed: "That's it, we don't have to be afraid of living in Jinling City in the future." The thin-eyed young girl next to her looked at Ji Yuan and the others, and said coldly: "These beasts will plague our girls who have not come out of the cabinet, and now Xinwu Hou is angry for us, kill them to avenge the sisters who died unjustly!"

All in all, there was everything in the crowd that said and scolded. Ji Yuan and the others fortunately passed out, and if they were awake, they would be angry to death.

In the bustling crowd of onlookers, a thin figure stood quietly at the back, looking at the half-dead Ji Yuan six people with dull eyes, and two lines of tears couldn't help but slide down the corners of his eyes, this person was the jade building that entered the city after hearing the news. He was originally waiting outside the city to pick up Ji Yuan and them, but he suddenly learned about it from passers-by who went out of the city, so he hurriedly entered the city to find out, and just happened to see this scene at this moment. Yulou lowered his head and quickly wiped away the tears in the corners of his eyes, and his fists clenched tightly on the joints of his bones, which were clenched white because of the excessive force. Yulou has never hated himself so much, he once abandoned martial arts and never regretted it, but today he regretted it, he regretted why he didn't choose to cultivate martial arts in the first place, but chose to study.

"Useless is a scholar...... Yulou muttered to himself through gritted teeth, "Useless is a scholar......"

Looking at the prisoner car that was gradually moving away, Yulou suddenly raised his head, and at this moment, what appeared in his eyes was an unprecedented touch of indestructibility and death. Yulou slowly took off the hat on his head, and walked towards the end of the street step by step.

One-step, two-step, three-step...... Ten steps, twenty steps, fifty steps......

Unconsciously, the figure of Yulou actually appeared in front of the gate of the Han Mansion, and at this moment, the former calm had been restored here. Yulou looked up at the four big characters of "New Wuhou Mansion" hanging high, and the fist shrunk in his sleeve couldn't help but clench a little again.

Without hesitation, he snorted lightly, Yulou suddenly raised his feet and walked up the steps, and he actually threw himself into the net.

"Stop! who?" the guard stopped the way of the Jade Tower, and asked, "If you know what kind of place this is, you dare to trespass?"

"I'm looking for Han Cheng!" Yu Lou stared at the landscape splashing ink on the back wall of the shadow inside the mansion gate without squinting, and said faintly, "As soon as I was tired of reporting, I said that Qi Yulou was here." ”

The guard saw that although this person was sloppy, his words and deeds were quite good, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not dare to slack off at the moment, but left a faint sentence: "Later." Then he hurriedly turned around and sent his orders.

After a while, Han Cheng walked out of the mansion in a hurry, and when he saw the Jade Building, Han Cheng was first surprised, and then a touch of unconcealable joy appeared in the corner of his eyes, and he arched his hand and said: "If it is really the son of the Jade Building, ...... in Hancheng"

"Take me to see Su Xie. Without waiting for Han Cheng to finish speaking, Yulou said bluntly, "I know that there are some things that you can't do, I want to see Su Xie." ”

Han Cheng was somewhat embarrassed by Yulou's face, he looked around cautiously left and right, and then said with a dry smile: "Please come with me." After that, Han Cheng personally led the Jade Tower to disappear into the mansion gate, leaving only a few unknown guards at the door to look at the direction of the Jade Tower's disappearance with surprised eyes, secretly speculating in their hearts about the true identity of this person.

Through the house and through the courtyard, after several tosses and turns, Han Cheng took the jade building straight to the Peach Blossom Pavilion, which is the favorite place of Su Xie in the entire Han Mansion, and Su Xie always likes to drink and enjoy flowers here when he is okay on weekdays. When the peach blossoms fall, there are peonies, peonies, and jasmine for him to enjoy, and Su Xie is like appreciating a beauty, which is the kind of love and appreciation from the bones. From a distance, Yulou saw Su Xie sitting in the pavilion drinking and Shi Tian standing outside the pavilion like a steel gun, of course, the pavilion was indispensable to pour wine for Su Xie and stroke the qin. Somehow, when he didn't see Su Xie just now, Yulou seemed to be holding the heart of the same end, but at this moment, Su Xie was close at hand, but he stood up inexplicably.

"Since they're all here, why stop moving?" Su Xie smiled at a peony flower on the table without squinting, and said lightly, "Don't you regret it?" Hearing Su Xie's words, Yufeng couldn't help but look up at the outside of the pavilion, and the moment she saw Yulou, Yufeng, who had always been heartbroken, unexpectedly shook her wrist, and poured out some of the half-poured wine.

Yufeng and Yulou were originally sisters and brothers, and the two of them have experienced inseparable jokes, intrigues, and death-and-death killings. But now in this place, in the current environment, Yufeng really doesn't want to see the Jade Tower. Now that she has got everything, the previous cruelty has subsided a lot, and it has been replaced by a touch of family affection. Yufeng's expression was complicated but he didn't say anything, just stared at Yulou silently, but at this moment, Yulou didn't seem to have any intention of talking to her about his sister and brother, and his eyes were always locked on Su Xie's body.

"Yulou Gongzi, why don't you come and taste the peony wine I brewed. Su Xie seemed quite enthusiastic, and the way he greeted him was as if he and Yulou were old friends who had known each other for many years, and he didn't look like an enemy who hated to cut each other with a thousand knives.

At this point, Yulou also abandoned all distractions, and walked up to the Peach Blossom Pavilion, when Shi Tian stopped him and wanted to search his body, Su Xie also said a good word for him, so that Shi Tian let him into the pavilion smoothly. Sitting opposite, Yufeng poured a glass of wine for Yulou with complicated eyes, Su Xie looked at Yulou with a smile, and said: "The peach blossom wine is charming, the osmanthus wine is intoxicating, but this peony wine is boiling." Saying that, Su Xie also made a gesture of invitation to Yulou, and when he watched Yulou drink all the wine in the jade cup, he asked with a smile: "How?

"It's very exciting. Yulou replied lightly.

"Yulou, you ......"

"Yufeng!" Without waiting for Yufeng to interject, Su Xie took the first step to speak, "It's rare that I and the prince of Yulou are so interested today, why don't you play a song for the two of us, how about toasting......?"

"Zheng!"

With the crisp and graceful sound of the piano, the soft sound lingers from the Peach Blossom Pavilion, making the originally cramped atmosphere suddenly become a lot quieter and more harmonious.

"Is Lu Yifan dead or alive?" With the sound of the piano, Su Xie asked slowly.

"I don't know. Yufeng's answer was simple and straightforward, "Does it make a difference if he is alive or dead now?"

"You will not come if he dies, and you will not come if he is not dead. Su Xie replied with a smile, "But now Lu Yifan is not dead, but you are here." ”

"Huh?" Yulou raised his head abruptly and looked at Su Xie with a look of surprise, "How do you know?"

"Don't worry, since I invited you into the pavilion for a drink, I won't hide anything from you. After Su Xie said this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a confident smile, and then he raised his head and said to Han Cheng outside the pavilion, "Brother Han, please bring people out for the Jade Mansion Gongzi to see." ”

Hearing Su Xie's words, Han Cheng immediately turned around and left, and after a while, he came back again, but when he came back, he was followed by a person, a person who was tied up by five flowers and covered in injuries, Cheng Yi.

"This person's name is Cheng Yi, the general of Northern Xinjiang, and Brother Han only brought it back from Northern Xinjiang at noon today. Su Xie explained with a light smile, "Lu Yifan was let go in Northern Xinjiang, and according to him, Lu Yifan should be in the ...... Jinling City. Su Xie's eyes had been staring at Yulou, and he would not let go of even the slightest change in his expression, but unfortunately Yulou didn't have any strange reactions.

"Yifan is not dead yet. Yu Lou muttered to himself with a complicated face, if he got this news before today, he would definitely be overjoyed, but at this moment, somehow, even if he wanted to be happy, he couldn't be happy.

"This son is greedy for merit, so he let Lu Yifan go. Su Xie stretched out his hand and gently pointed at Cheng Yi, so frightened that Cheng Yi's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.

His words...... I don't believe it. Yulou pondered for a moment and said lightly, "Whether Yifan dies or not, it has nothing to do with me coming to you today." ”

"Oh?" Su Xie was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked with interest, "I would like to hear about it." Why are you looking for me?"

"I beg you...... Let Ji Yuan and a few of them ......"

"Zheng!" As soon as Yulou's words came out, Yufeng's piano sound also fluctuated violently.

"Why?" Su Xie asked with a smile, still calm.

"Because the person you have to deal with is Lu Yifan, not them. Yulou explained unhurriedly, "They actually didn't come to Jinling City, they just came for righteousness and to repay Lu Yifan for his great kindness to them." Now that they have come, they will repay it, and they will only live an ordinary life in the future, and will not be a trouble for you again. ”

"They weren't my problem in the first place. Su Xie smiled, saying that Su Xie slowly picked up the wine glass in his hand and said, "To kill or not, for me it is like this glass of wine, whether you can drink it or not, it doesn't matter." ”

"Even if it doesn't matter, why don't you let them go?" Yulou said, "The right is to accumulate virtue and do good deeds for himself." ”

Su Xie shook his head silently and said, "I can drink this glass of wine or not, but if you only use the rhetoric of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds to decide whether to drink or not for me, I will not listen." Unless you can give me a reason not to kill them. ”

"My life. Yulou said suddenly, "I am willing to exchange my life for their lives, although I am powerless, if I want to cause you trouble, it will inevitably be more difficult than the few of them combined, you should know this truth very well." ”

"Bang!" When Yulou said that he would exchange his life for the lives of Ji Yuan's six people, the strings in Yufeng's hand suddenly broke, Yufeng looked at Yulou with a shocked face, and the cherry mouth was slightly open but he didn't know what to say.

Su Xie nodded lightly and said with a smile: "You can let me release people alone, I admire your courage, at least you are more courageous than Lu Yifan." You're right, your lives are worth the lives of six of them. ”

"What do you think of the suggestion I just said?" asked Yu Lou in a condensed voice.

"I agreed. Su Xie nodded, but before Yulou could answer, Su Xie changed his words and chuckled, "I agree to accept the lives you sent yourself, but I won't let those six people go." ”

"Su Xie, you ......"

"Yulou Gongzi, you must know how to calm down when you encounter problems, your heart is in chaos, so everything you do and say is outrageous, chaotic and stupid. Su Xie said loudly, "Why do you think that you can save the six of them? Is it just your courage? Or is it based on your pleading? You are really smart and confused for a while, and you will kill yourself, drink the wine in your cup and follow Shi Tian! I have arranged a first-class guest room for you to have a good rest, sober up and sober your head." I don't think you're that stupid, and now you're disappointing me!"

Under Yufeng's slightly panicked gaze, Yulou turned a deaf ear to Su Xie's sarcasm, picked up the wine glass and put a glass of wine into his stomach, then turned around and followed Shi Tian out of the Peach Blossom Pavilion without saying a word. However, at the moment when Yulou turned to leave, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised a relaxed and bitter smile. In fact, Yulou is not confused, and the reason why he threw himself into the net is not really asking Su Xie to let Ji Yuan and the six people go, but the root of it is still in Yulou himself, because the burden in his heart is too heavy but he has no power to return to the sky, so he wants to die to thank the world.

For Yulou in today's situation, dying with Ji Yuan and the others may be the only way for him to relieve the pain in his heart, because Yulou has ...... Hopeless.

......
