readx;? In this world, there is really a poison extracted from the poisonous juice of the iceberg and the cold cicada, this poison contains the dual creation of life and death, if you can take the corresponding antidote within 7749 days, it is a great nourishment for people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But if you don't take the antidote in time, its medicinal properties can attack the heart in a moment, making people feel painful and dying of blood.

The name of this strange poison is called the Cicada Poison Pill, although the name is exactly the same as the pill that Mu Dan took out, but in fact, the bottle of Peony Pill is a real fake. A poison similar to the Chilling Cicada Poison Pill was an extremely precious elixir even in the Five Domains, how could it be that she Mu Dan could take it?

Although he knew that the cold cicada poison pill was fake, Lu Yifan still decided to co-star in such a play with Mu Dan, the purpose was to deceive Lou Zhang and Lou Kong, so that the two of them would be afraid and timid, and then they would not attack themselves.

In the end, although one Lou Zheng died, one Lou Li was seriously injured. But with the full cooperation of Lou Zhang and Lou Kong, the next two days were still calm, and a series of small actions that occurred in today's lockdown did not arouse Lou Zong's vigilance.

For Lu Yifan, this is undoubtedly half the success of the plan.

Although the two days are tantamount to ordinary people passing through the gap in the blink of an eye, but for Lu Yifan and the others, these two days are really felt what it means to live like a year, they dare not have other actions in the city, and they are always looking around to investigate the movements of the closed city and Louzong, for two days and two nights, Lu Yifan almost didn't dare to close his eyes, what he was most afraid of was to wake up and find that the situation had changed greatly, and finally let the lockdown repeat the mistakes of Wenyang City.

And in the past two days, the city lords in the southwest who were invited by Liu Sandao and Fang Chengtian also rushed to the Hou Mansion one after another to settle down, although these city lords arrived early, but Lu Yifan did not show up to meet them. When some grumpy city lords began to be unable to suppress their inner annoyance and tried to take people out of the Hou Mansion, these people found out that they had been placed under house arrest from the moment they stepped into the Hou Mansion. And the person in charge of the house arrest of these city lords was none other than Xie Yun, who was bent on atonement for his crimes, and the twenty-seven Wenyang warriors under him.

Because it is in the territory of the closed city, and the flower face worship is also close at hand, although these city lords are annoyed, they are not stupid enough to really do it with Xie Yun and them, after all, since people have already arrived in the closed city, whether they live in the Hou Mansion or live in the inn, in fact, they can't leave. Therefore, it is better to hold back your mind for the time being and see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Hou Mansion.

At noon on the day before the Flower Face Festival, when the last city lord of the Fourteen Cities in the Southwest was personally "invited" by Liu Sandao and Fang Chengtian When he returned to the Hou Mansion, Pang He, on the other hand, also rushed back to the closed city, and also brought back the words that he and Ji Yuan's actions were going well, and now they have successfully ambushed more than 3,000 city troops fifty miles east of the city, and the purpose of Pang He's return this time is to quietly bring out the 1,500 city defenders in the city in the middle of the night today, and join forces with Ji Yuan to restrain the thousands of disciples of Louzong's lair.

Everything is ready, and now only the east wind is owed.

In the main hall, Lu Yifan listened to the news brought back by Liu Sandao and Pang He with a smile. All the city lords of the fourteen cities in the southwest have entered the palace, and the defenders of the three nearby cities have also been mobilized, and now the disciples of Lou Zong, who are in charge of sealing the city defense, have been surrendered by Lu Yifan. If there is no accident tonight, Ye Pang He will be able to successfully mobilize the people and horses of the lockdown camp.

Up to this moment, the entire plan designed by Lu Yifan to deal with Lou Zong has been completed, and now it is only necessary to persuade the fourteen cities in the southwest to share the same hatred, and to help Lu Yifan attack the five tigers of Lou Zong when the flowers face the sacrifice tomorrow, and after tomorrow, they can work together to exterminate the remnants of Lou Zong in each city.

And that's it.

"Lord Lu, the city lords in the southwest don't know how your lordship plans to tell them about this?" Fang Chengtian, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile, "Although Brother Liu and I invited all the other thirteen city lords to the Hou Mansion this time, many of them were half-pushed, and some were forcibly tied up by Brother Liu, I'm afraid that although they arrived, their hearts were not convinced!"

"There are indeed a few old stubborns among them, and these old stubborns have received the benefits of Lou Zong in recent years, so instead of hating Lou Zong, they are also grateful, wishing that Lou Zong could always rule the southwest area. Liu Sandao sneered, "Among them, Yang Ling, the Lord of the Western Imperial City, Duan Hai, the Lord of Lizhou City, and Guo Sheng, the Lord of Buling City, are the most stubborn. If you can settle these three people, the others are just some wall grass, and whichever side has the power will naturally fall to which side!"

"Brother Liu, how should we deal with these three people in your opinion?" Lu Yifan raised his eyebrows and asked with a light smile.

"Hehe, kill it in my opinion!" Liu Sandao smiled at Lu Yifan, and a bloodthirsty look flashed inadvertently in his eyes.

"Although it is a good way to kill chickens and monkeys, don't forget that we are doing things with my father's token now, although these city lords are only small city lords, but they are also the ministers of the emperor above board, if we kill these people casually, then what is the difference between us and Lou Zong? In the future, even my father will not be able to explain when the emperor investigates!" Han Ling'er's head shook like a rattle, and she would not agree to anything that might damage Han Xiao.

Hearing Han Ling'er's words, Liu Sandao couldn't help but stick out his tongue in disdain, but he didn't say anything more. In fact, Liu Sandao has long seen that the relationship between Lu Yifan and Han Linger is extraordinary, and he knows that Han Linger and Lu Yifan have made a marriage contract since childhood, so in Liu Sandao's eyes, Han Ling'er's status today is undoubtedly his housewife, so although Liu Sandao is cynical and debauched, he will not refute anything or person related to Lu Yifan's master, and he will rarely even joke.

"Ling'er's words are reasonable!" Mu Dan nodded in agreement. Among Lu Yifan and his party, only Mu Dan and Han Ling'er are women, and after this period of time getting along day and night, the two of them are even more chivalrous and chivalrous, plus they both have a refreshing temperament to say something, so now the two of them have become a pair of good sisters who have nothing to say, so now when Han Ling'er raised objections, Mu Dan naturally supported them unconditionally, "After all, our trip is under the blessing of Lord Han, no matter what we decide to do, we can't implicate Lord Han!"

"Not bad. Lu Yifan nodded and replied, "We are soldiers now, and Lou Zong is a thief, so we can do so many things justifiably, so don't forget our identity." The fourteen cities in the southwest are in the same spirit, and if we want to completely eradicate the Lou Zong, we must have their support. ”

"If you don't cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, the spring breeze will blow and grow again!" Xie Yun said lightly, "This time we must completely put Lou Zong to death, and we must not give them any respite." ”

Lu Yifan nodded lightly, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he raised his eyes at Fang Qingyun and asked, "Young Master Fang, how are the preparations for tonight's banquet?"

"If you return to Lord Lu, you have already prepared according to your instructions! tonight in the Baicui Garden, you will definitely be able to start the banquet on time!" Fang Qingyun replied, "In addition to the wine banquet, I also invited some singers and dancers from Wanhua Mansion to cheer up tonight's wine banquet!"

"What?" Hearing Fang Qingyun's words, Han Ling'er frowned, turned her head and asked Lu Yifan, "Are you really going to let people dance for you?"

"Of course, after all, we are feasting fourteen city lords this time, which is not trivial, so what should be done in this face is naturally to do enough!" Lu Yifan waved his hand helplessly, "If you don't make them happy, how can the fourteen cities in the southwest be the same enemy?"

"Hmph, I see that you don't want to share the same enemy, but want to have a nest of snakes and rats!" Han Ling'er's angry voice seemed to have a hint of sourness in it. The people in the hall listened to Lu Yifan and Han Ling'er arguing, although they felt funny in their hearts, but no one dared to interject for a while.

"General Pang, tonight, you will lead the city army to quietly go out from the west gate of the city on time!" Lu Yifan changed his words and smiled at Pang He, "I have already arranged the general of the defending army, Lou Kong, as soon as the time comes, he will try to remove the eyeliner of the other Lou Zong, and then hide the west city gate for half an hour, so you must successfully bring the city army out of the city in this half an hour!"

"The last general will obey the orders of the adults!" Pang He said respectfully to Lu Yifan, Pang He is a martial artist, he has no heart, he has always done what he says, but he is meticulous when he really does things, so finding him to do things also saves Lu Yifan a lot of heart.

"Alright, let's go back and prepare for each of you now! Tonight we are the hosts, and we are going to feast the city lords of the other thirteen cities in the southwest, so this banquet in the evening must be difficult. Lu Yifan stood up abruptly and said aloud to everyone in the hall, "But we have no way out, so we can only win this game, because once we lose, then none of you and I in the hall will be able to leave the lockdown alive." Do you understand everything?"

"Yes!"

Before Lu Yifan's words fell, everyone led by Liu Sandao Xie Yun stood up one after another, and shouted at Lu Yifan, and for a while, everyone's eyes in the hall were full of solemnity, because each of them knew what kind of opponent they were going to face this time.

......

In the evening, the city is lit up everywhere, and the people are immersed in the upcoming flower face festival, and almost every vendor's stall in the lively night market is full of all kinds of oil paint masks, some look like lions, tigers, beasts, some look like colorful butterflies and bees, some look like fairies and ghosts, and some are flowers, birds, fish and insects. With all sorts of colors, colors, and looks, people have stopped in front of different stalls, carefully selecting the unique masks to be worn on the night of the Flower Worship Festival tomorrow, and the whole lockdown can be said to have reached a very rare bustle and prosperity in a year.

The bustling sound of the night market in the city penetrated the courtyard of the Hou Mansion and went straight to the Baicui Garden, and today's Baicui Garden is also full of red lanterns, and the pavilions and pavilions are resplendent and extremely elegant under the reflection of countless candlestick lanterns.

The Baicui Garden is also full of people coming and going, most of them are white-clothed maidservants, who come and go between the pavilions and pavilions of the Baicui Garden, delivering one delicious meal after another to the guests.

There is a huge round pavilion with a diameter of more than several zhang in the middle of the turquoise pond lake of Baicui Garden, and there is a white jade bridge connecting the lake shore in the east and west of the round pavilion, the east bridge is the entry, the west bridge is the exit, and the style layout is very exquisite. And this round pavilion is called "Cui Pavilion", which is the largest and most luxurious round pavilion in this Baicui Garden.

At this moment, there are hundreds of lit lamps and candles floating on the lake around Cuiting, the purpose of these paper boats is to meet the scene, and the second is to illuminate Cuiting. On the railings of the two white jade bridges in the east and west, there is a delicate candlestick in five steps, and for a while, the two stone bridges are reflected as bright as the Dragon Palace Immortal Bridge. The surroundings of the Pavilion are full of lanterns of different shapes, each lantern is painted with different landscape beauties, which illuminates the Pavilion while bringing a sense of pleasing elegance to the guests in the pavilion.

Under the moonlight, in the green pavilion, there are two rows of long tables in parallel to the north and south, there are all kinds of delicacies on the long table, all kinds of dishes are exquisite, the fragrance of fine wine is diffused in the main seat of the green pavilion, and the gluttonous food is even more unbearable to swallow saliva. In the middle of the two rows of long tables, there is a wide aisle about two feet wide, the red carpet is paved on the aisle, the south end of the red carpet is the entrance for the slaves to and from the food and wine, and at the northernmost end of the red carpet there is a separate table, and the dishes and wines placed on the table are also a separate portion, no need to ask where it must be the seat of the host of today's banquet.

At this moment, behind the long tables on both sides, the city lords of the thirteen cities in the southwest were already seated, and they were talking and laughing with each other and greeting each other politely. Now there are seven city lords sitting at the long table on the east side in turn, and there are only six city lords sitting at the long table on the west side, and there is now a vacant seat at the front of the long table on the west side, obviously his master has not yet arrived, and everyone has speculated who else can be qualified to sit at the same table with the city lords, because in the consciousness of these city lords, Fang Chengtian should sit on the northernmost main seat, and the seat vacated at the west head at this moment is a little unpredictable.

The personal guards and retinues of these city lords were arranged to sit at the small table behind the city lords, and they were also served with big fish, meat, wine, and food.

And on the red carpet aisle in the middle, there are now more than a dozen brightly dressed beauty dancing girls under the accompaniment of the musicians on the side, indulgently swaying their bodies, infinite charm in front of these guests, some of them have been fascinated by this drunken dream and death, and even forgot to drink the wine in their hands, one by one smiling and squinting at these seductive beauties in front of them, if it weren't for the fact that this is the Closed City Marquis Mansion, I'm afraid that some of them would have already been unable to help but pounce on these dancing girls.

The wine pool dances, the piano and the sheng flute, a good drunken dream, so forgetful!

Just for today's wonderful banquet, the city lord, who was still a little unhappy because of house arrest in the past two days, has long been relieved. Although the host has not yet arrived, and this banquet is not really open, most of the city lords are already drinking happily and singing happily.

But there are naturally some shrewd people among them, who are worried about the scene in front of them, including the three most stubborn city lords that Liu Sandao said.

"Yang Gong, what kind of medicine did you say was bought in this Fang Chengtian's gourd?" Duan Hai, the bearded Lizhou City Lord, asked in a loud voice, and he didn't forget to send a bowl of spirits into his stomach as he spoke.

Yang Ling is cunning and cunning, he just shook his head and said nothing at the moment, and there was always a touch of gloom between his eyebrows.

"When things go wrong, there must be demons. You and I both know very well what kind of person Fang Chengtian is, he would invite us to a banquet in Baicui Garden to entertain us for no reason? In my opinion, he Fang Chengtian must have ulterior motives for today's scene!" A white middle-aged man sitting next to Duan Hai suddenly opened his mouth and said, this person is about forty years old, and he looks like an honest person, but his eyes that flicker with cunning essence from time to time make people dare not underestimate him, he is the last of the three stubborn city lords, Guo Sheng, the city lord of Buling.

"City Lord Guo means ......"

"No need to ask, Fang Chengtian is here!" Before Duan Hai could ask, Yang Ling's eyes suddenly gathered, and then a pair of sharp old eyes shot directly at Fang Chengtian and Fang Qingyun, father and son, who came from Dongqiao with smiling faces.

"Haha...... The princes have been waiting for a long time, Fang Mou has made amends!" As soon as Fang Chengtian entered the Cui Pavilion, he nodded to the city lords present, and his posture was very humble. And most of the city lords naturally responded one after another, taking advantage of the situation to say a few words, and the scene was also happy.

"Now that the host of today's banquet has arrived, can we officially start the banquet?" Guo Sheng raised his eyebrows and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner.

"Huh...... Of course!!" Fang Chengtian said as he walked towards the row of square tables on the west side, and when he walked to the front, he unexpectedly did not continue to the main seat due north, but sat on the empty seat at the front of the west side.

"Hiss!" Fang Chengtian's move made the other city lords in the pavilion in an uproar.

"City Lord Fang, what does this mean?" Yang Ling asked with a frown, "This is the Closed City Marquis Mansion, and it is your Fang City Lord's territory, why are you sitting here if you don't sit on the main seat?"

"What Yang Gong said is right, although this is indeed our Fang Chengtian's Baicui Garden, but the host of today's banquet is not here!" Fang Chengtian smiled politely.

"This ......" For a while, all the city lords, you look at me, I look at you, and no one can say why.

"Then dare to ask City Lord Fang, who is the owner of today's banquet?" Yang Ling asked again.

"It's me!"

This time, without waiting for Fang Chengtian to open his mouth to explain again, a hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the Cui Pavilion, and then everyone saw that on the East Bridge at this moment, Lu Yifan, who was dressed in a white shirt, was walking over with a group of people, and when Lu Yifan gradually approached the Cui Pavilion, all the city lords who gradually saw Lu Yifan's face couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.

"You don't have to think about it, I'm the one who was painted in the hunt and kill notices you once posted all over the city......" Lu Yifan had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked around at everyone in the pavilion calmly, "You should all remember my name, right?"

"Wow!" As soon as Lu Yifan's three words came out, there was an uproar in the Cui Pavilion.

......
