In the early morning of September 25, on the square outside the hall of the Langya City Palace, Linghuang Yanchong, accompanied by a group of ministers, stood on the steps, looking at the thousands of huge money boxes piled up in the square at the moment with complicated eyes. Lu Yifan did what he said, not only did he send people to send money and food, but he also personally ordered the disciples of the major sects in the Holy Domain to settle in the official offices of each city and government, replacing the officials and servants in the original city government, and waiting for the emperor's will to do errands at any time.

The person responsible for escorting these money and grain to Langya City is the head of the Zhongsheng Academy of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce, Qi Shan. Gathering tens of billions of golden shells in a short period of time is tantamount to being difficult for ordinary people, but it is easy for today's Lord of the Five Domains, Lu Yifan, he personally wrote a letter to Qi Wanshan, the president of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce, imploring Qi Wanshan to temporarily transfer tens of billions of golden shells from tens of thousands of brands in the Central Holy Academy to send them to Langya City, and promised that he would pass on the orders of Ji Yuan, the soul master of the Beast Domain, Liu Sandao, the soul master of the Spirit Domain, and Yin Qianqiu, the soul master of the Demon Domain. The Immortal Soul Lord has no ring, and asked them to prepare three billion golden shells to be sent to the other four courtyards of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce within a month, and the extra two billion gold shells should be the interest that Lu Yifan gave to the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce.

Without any contract, just relying on a handwritten letter from Lu Yifan, Qi Wanshan did not hesitate to order Qi Shan to personally supervise the matter. According to Qi Wanshan's words, the favor that the Lord of the Five Domains owes to him alone is more than 10 billion golden shells. What's more, Lu Yifan will definitely not be untrustworthy when he says it, and Qi Wanshan's reaction in this section is still very old-fashioned.

It is precisely because of Qi Wanshan's order that Qi Shan was able to transfer tens of billions of golden shells from the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce to Langya City in just a dozen days, and the person responsible for escorting Qi Shan and his party from afar was the Soul Sect Protector Yin Xi and the three thousand Soul Sect disciples under his command. Along the way, there was the banner of the Soul Sect waving in the wind, and any bull, ghost, snake, and god could not avoid it, and who would dare to fight this batch of gold and silver? So there was nothing wrong along the way, not only did the thieves block the way, but everywhere they went, the local government and sect sent a large number of people to escort them out of the country, for fear that this batch of money and grain would have an accident on their own land, and on the other hand, this also faintly showed how good the prestige and status of the Lord of the Five Domains were in the Holy Domain.

On the square of the palace, when the ministers saw such a huge amount of money and food, as well as a Praetorian Guard army with more than 10,000 numbers formed by the disciples of various sects and factions, their faces couldn't help but be filled with a touch of excitement, and all the joys and touches that emerged in their hearts were bitter, and some old ministers couldn't help but hide their faces and cry bitterly with excitement in their hearts.

In the square, Qi Shan stood in front of the countless money boxes with a smile, and arched his hand towards the Emperor Yan Chong: "Your Majesty, under the orders of Sect Master Lu and the President, I will allocate 10 billion gold shells for national use, and I hope that Your Majesty will send someone to count and receive it as soon as possible, so that I can go back to recover my life as soon as possible!"

"There's Mr. Lao Qi. Yan Chong and Qi Shan are not the first time to meet, although the two are not familiar with each other, but they still know each other better, Yan Chong nodded and said, "Since it was sent by Mr. Qi personally, it must be exactly the same, there is no need to count, Mr. Qi just bring the account books, and the emperor personally signs for it!" So far, Yan Chong and the others still don't know the life and death of Qiu Ming and his party, during this time he was anxiously waiting for Qiu Ming's news, but he never expected that what was waiting for was Qi Shan's Bai Yi Jinbei and an elite army. At first, the emperor thought it was Lan Chen's revenge, but when Qi Shan explained his intentions, his heart calmed down a little. Rao is like this, in fact, Yan Chong's heart is still full of doubts and incomprehension, and he is even more curious about the twists and turns.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qi Shan nodded respectfully, then turned around and ordered someone to present the account book to Yan Chong.

"That ......" Yan Chong hesitated, but finally couldn't help but ask, "Why did Sect Master Lu and President Qi suddenly raise so much money and food to support the Emperor?"

Qi Shan replied with a smile: "I am only responsible for errands, and I don't know anything else......" Qi Shan's words couldn't help but groan a little, and then he changed his words and said with a smile, "But although I don't know about it, maybe someone can answer the emperor's doubts for me." With that, Qi Shan turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Yin Xi in the crowd under Yan Chong's curious gaze.

Yin Xi was not as polite to Yan Chongyuan as Qi Shan, and he took a few steps forward with a meteor stride with horizontal eyebrows and raised eyes, and behind him were five sturdy Soul Sect disciples, each of whom was holding a pitch-black sandalwood box in the hands of these five Soul Sect disciples at this moment.

"I've seen the Emperor!" Yin Xi's tone was not good, and after standing still, he just arched his hand towards Yan Chong very casually, which was regarded as saving some face for Yan Chong, and then before Yan Chong could speak, Yin Xi had already turned around and pointed to the five sandalwood boxes, and said, "In addition to those gold, silver, and soldiers and horses, these things are gifts that the sect master of my family specially ordered me to give to the emperor." ”

The Emperor and the ministers couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and there was a trace of doubt in their hearts, but Yin Xi didn't seem to want to give them time to think, so he walked directly to the five Soul Sect disciples, and quickly opened the five sandalwood boxes in turn.

In broad daylight, the five bloody human heads in the sandalwood box were shocking, which made the ministers exclaim in surprise and at the same time made Yan Chong's legs weak, and the whole person almost collapsed on the ground.

The owners of these five heads are none other than Old Man Qiu Ming, Qu Feng, Fu Li, Zhao Yun and Lei Tian, and they are also the five masters who led Emperor Yan Chong to assassinate Lan Chen.

"The sect master asked me to convey the words of Dean Qiu Ming before he died, saying that the five of them voluntarily sacrificed their lives to exchange for a new peaceful and prosperous era for His Majesty the Emperor!" Yin Xi said in a cold tone, "The Sect Master also asked me to bring a message to the Emperor, this matter could have been peaceful and happy, but someone has committed the heart of a villain, so that they have become a cocoon to harm others and themselves." I also hope that His Majesty the Emperor will be virtuous and benevolent and righteous in the future, and I also hope that His Majesty the Emperor and the Soul Lord of the Holy Domain can value harmony and jointly ensure the prosperity and prosperity of the Holy Domain!"

"Use the lives of five people to exchange for a new peaceful and prosperous era for the emperor......" The death of the old man Qiu Ming made Yan Chong regretful, and he now hated to slap himself a few times, especially when he learned the last words of the old man Qiu Ming before he died, his heart was even more sad and painful, regretful and hateful, but what he hated most at the moment was not Lu Yifan, who forced the old man Qiu Ming to death, but his own emperor who was determined to go his own way, Yan Chong couldn't help but cry under the support of the two ministers, and said to himself stupidly, " Brother Qiu, it was the emperor who harmed you...... Now that the soldiers are well fed, the overall situation of the Sanctuary has been decided, but you are no longer by the emperor's side...... Now the last cronies of this emperor...... It's all gone...... No ......."

At this moment, Yan Chong, who should have been extremely happy to see Lu Yifan helping him turn things around, was not happy at all. Even though the ministers were kind enough to comfort each other, Yan Chong still had a sad face, and waved his hand lightly with a tired expression, looking at the gold and silver in the courtyard and the heads of the five Qiu Ming, and he had mixed feelings for a while, which was an indescribable taste.

"The more you gain, the more you lose, is there really no such thing as perfection in this world?"

......

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, joys and sorrows, and the sufferings of the world we cannot predict and avoid. How many heroes in ancient times could not escape life and death after all. Zitang, the deceased is gone, don't be too sad, beware of crying and breaking your body!"

On September 28, in Liu Zitang's room in Xihuang Mountain, Fluttershy and Ji Yier took turns to accompany and comfort Liu Zitang, Liu Zitang had not slept for a few hours in the past ten days, nor had he eaten much water and rice, but just snuggled up to the bed all day long, holding Liu Jitang's clothes tightly in his hands, crying silently, and the whole person looked extremely haggard.

Now it is less than three days before the first day of October, and the heroes of the Five Domains led by Yin Qianqiu and Jun Wujie have come from all over the country one after another to prepare to participate in the wedding banquet, Liu Sandao and Xiao Liuyi, Ji Yuan and Wu Mei, Yulou and Mu Dan, as well as Xie Yun and Zheng Xiaowu, Liu Meng, A Chang and other soul sect cores have also returned to Xihuang Mountain, and Xihuang Mountain, which had been silent for most of the year, finally became lively again. Liu Zitang didn't want to ruin everyone's interest because of the death of his brother, so he resigned from Lu Yifan from the responsibility of coordinating the wedding banquet, and locked himself in the room every day to cry and be sentimental alone.

"Brother......" Liu Zitang looked at the clothes that had already been soaked with her own tears, and tears once again couldn't help but overflow from her already red and swollen eyes, "I made this robe for you with my own hands, but you only wore it once, you said that such a beautiful robe should be saved until the day I got married, but how can you talk and not count? I haven't married yet, but you have already left me...... What will I do if you're gone......?"

Looking at the heartbroken Liu Zitang, Ji Yi'er and Fluttershy's eyes were also extremely red, Fluttershy sighed softly, and then dragged Ji Yi'er to the side, and whispered: "Yi'er, you will marry Lan Chen in two days, and now Lan Chen must have a lot of things waiting for you to do." Although Zitang is sad, there is nothing big about it, it is enough for me to take care of her here, you better go and take care of your own business first!"

Ji Yi'er bit her lower lip lightly, and said with a hesitant expression: "Fluttershy, Brother Liu died to save me and Lan Chen, and we are also responsible for Zitang's sadness." Now that Brother Liu's bones are not cold, you asked me to prepare for the happy event, I really ...... I can't bear it......"

"Miss Ji......" Liu Zitang seemed to hear the conversation between Fluttershy and Ji Yi'er, and hurriedly waved his hand to wipe away his tears, forced out a smile, and said in a choked voice, "Your marriage is important, I ...... I'm fine, you can get busy...... Don't stay with me all the time, like me and my brother...... ...... will blame themselves."

"Zitang, Fluttershy, I don't want to get married on the first day ......of October!" Ji Yi'er suddenly said, "Brother Liu just died because of us, how can we do a happy event when his bones are still cold?"

Ji Yi'er's words made Fluttershy and Liu Zitang exclaim at the same time, and Liu Zitang hurriedly put down Liu Jitang's relics, got out of bed and walked forward quickly, grabbed Ji Yi'er's arm with both hands, and hurriedly begged: "Miss Ji, I beg you not to do this...... You and Lan Chen Gongzi really love each other, the talented and beautiful are a match made in heaven, my eldest brother and I sincerely bless you, your marriage was prepared by me and my eldest brother before, if you don't get married now because of my eldest brother, then my eldest brother will definitely hate himself to death under Jiuquan......"

"Zitang!" Ji Yi'er held Liu Zitang's hands with her backhand, and said with a complicated expression, "How can there be such a good girl as you in the world? How can there be such a simple and kind brother and sister as you? God is so unfair, why can't good people live long, why do good people suffer, this world is simply black and white!"

"Yi'er, Sect Master Lu has already made those people pay the price they deserve, and none of the people who came to Xihuang Mountain that night left alive. Now that Brother Liu's revenge has been avenged, it can be regarded as a natural reason, don't say those words that make Zitang even sadder. Seeing Liu Zitang's teary eyes, Fluttershy hurriedly interjected, "Sect Master Lu also asked Lan Chen and you if they wanted to hold a big wedding as scheduled, and at that time you all promised him that he would not postpone it, and now that most of the distinguished guests from the Five Domains have come, Sect Master Lu's words have already been spoken, and now if you regret the marriage, it will not only hurt Lan Chen's feelings, but also make Sect Master Lu lose face!"

As soon as she heard Lu Yifan's name, Liu Zitang's face suddenly became nervous, and she pleaded with Ji Yi'er with earnest eyes: "I don't want to affect Brother Tian's reputation because of myself and my eldest brother." Miss Ji, I beg you not to take this matter to heart anymore, I beg you to happily marry Lan Chen Gongzi in the first ten million of October, will you promise me?"

"But ......"

"Miss Ji, if you refuse to agree, then Zitang will kowtow to you......"

"Silly girl!" Ji Yi'er hurriedly picked up Liu Zitang, who really wanted to kneel, with tears in her eyes, crying and laughing, "I am the one who should kowtow, Zitang, you are really a kind silly girl." I promise you! I promise you that on the first day of October, I will marry Lan Chen as scheduled, and I promise you everything......"

Hearing Ji Yi'er's personal promise, Liu Zitang burst into tears and laughed, and Fluttershy, who had been hanging a heart, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Ji Yi'er's temper is still very twisted, if she really wants to be determined not to marry, then she will not scruple even if she says the sky. Fortunately, Ji Yier was still willing to listen to Liu Zitang's persuasion, which avoided a troublesome matter for Xihuang Mountain again.

"Yi'er, go help Lan Chen!" Fluttershy chuckled, "I'll stay with Zitang to talk!"

Ji Yier looks at Fluttershy and Liu Zitang hesitantly, and at the insistence of the two of them, she can't be stubborn anymore, and finally reluctantly leaves Fluttershy's room.

Fluttershy walks back to the bed with Liu Zitang in her arms, and the two of them are holding hands like sisters on a very good relationship. Liu Zitang smiled bitterly and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said softly: "Sister has bothered you these days......

"Silly girl. Fluttershy held Liu Zitang's hand in distress, a flash of memory flashed in her eyes, and she muttered for a moment before she slowly smiled, "Zitang, do you want to hear about my past?"

"I also know a little bit about my sister's past, and there is also a touching story between you and Lu Jungongzi. Liu Zitang knows that Fluttershy wants to comfort herself with her past, and then nods with a smile.

"Actually, I felt like my sky was falling after Lu Jun left, but don't you think I'm still alive and well?" Fluttershy said slowly, gradually falling into her own memories, "At that time, Lu Jun was still in Jinling City as the deputy commander of the city army, and my father and I relied on weaving straw sandals to live on each other until one day ......"

As Fluttershy narrates, Liu gradually listens to them, and finally snuggles up in Fluttershy's arms to listen to their stories, and slowly falls asleep. In the dream, Liu Zitang and Liu Jitang also returned to their childhood......

......
