Xu Chuan and the Duke of Dongyuan sat in the side hall, the Duke of Dongyuan was wearing a prince's robe embroidered with python patterns, the whole person was a little more majestic than when they met in the Linglong Artistic Conception Bureau, he and Xu Chuan were old acquaintances, plus he had also walked in the border pass, Xu Chuan was able to break through the border pass, and he also admired it in his heart.

Both were silent.

The Duke of Dongyuan took a sip of wine and said: "Although I was fortunate to meet the horse at the Linglong Artistic Conception Bureau last time, the occasion was not right at that time, even if I wanted to drink and talk with the horse, I couldn't do it, and it was really interesting to chat with the horse today." ”

Xu Chuan smiled dumbly and said, "But since I met the princess, I haven't said a word except to say hello to the princess." ”

The Duke of Dongyuan smiled: "Drinking and chatting, you don't have to talk too much, it depends on who the other party is, an interesting person is an interesting thing in itself." ”

Xu Chuan smiled at the slightly flattering words of the Duke of Dongyuan, and then drank the wine in the cup.

The Duke of Dongyuan smiled: "What was the horse thinking when he stopped under the porch before?" ”

Xu Chuan looked at the Duke of Dongyuan, and asked instead of answering: "How much does the Duke of Dongyuan know about that qu Fengzi?" ”

"The strength is good." The Duke of Dongyuan said, thought about it, and added: "I'm acting a little harsh." ”

Xu Chuan's eyes flashed, and he said, "Can it be regarded as an evil cultivator?" ”

The Duke of Dongyuan laughed.

Xu Chuan watched calmly.

After a long time, the Duke of Dongyuan stopped laughing and asked rhetorically, "What does the horse think is an evil cultivator?" ”

"Indiscriminate killing of innocents is a disaster to the world."

"Innocent?" The Duke of Dongyuan stared at Xu Chuan: "I heard that the horse was born in the imperial court and county order, and it can be said that it is a strange story in the world to go from a county order to today's status, and there must be a lot of adventures in the horse." ”

Xu Chuan wants to be modest, but when he thinks about his reincarnation and step by step to the present, is it all himself? Or is it an adventure on the body?

It is true that one's own efforts are one thing, but adventure is also indispensable.

He couldn't help but be silent.

The Duke of Dongyuan didn't need him to answer, and sighed alone: "Adventure, luck, is a wonderful thing, but there are not many people you meet, and you get even less." When I left home at a young age, I saw that there were more things in this world than adventures, but killing, betrayal, ambition, desire, and the path of cultivation was to go against the sky, to go faster than others, to get more than others, and it was inevitable to find another way. ”

Xu Chuan was silent.

"People are selfish by nature, and so are monks, every monk has his own way, and if he can't get it, he has to rob it, he has to fight, and if he fights, he has to sacrifice and die, and he kills innocents indiscriminately. Are these innocent really good people, or are there evil people too? If they are given the same strength, the same opportunities, and more adventures, will it also be an evil cultivator? The Duke of Dongyuan said with a smile.

"The horse is said to be a disaster to the world, because the horse has the world in his heart, I admire it very much, and there are still few people like the horse in the world."

Xu Chuan looked at the Duke of Dongyuan and suddenly smiled: "Human nature is evil. ”

The Duke of Dongyuan nodded: "Yes." ”

Xu Chuan said again: "The difference between good and evil, the position is different, speaking of... It is just that the court is the supreme in the world, the court is constrained, the law is bound, the world can be clear, and the human race can be prosperous. ”

"It's just going to be more brutal."

"Wouldn't it be nice to be less cruel?"

The Duke of Dongyuan laughed and said, "I said, it's a very interesting thing to chat with the horses. ”

Xu Chuan also smiled: "It's also a lot of fun to chat with the princess. ”

The two laughed and toasted.

In the capital, Tianjiao Tower.

Seven pavilions on the third floor of the Takegen clan, the Tingmeng Pavilion is the most elegant entertainment venue, and the women here are all the beautiful cities carefully cultivated by the Takegen clan. They are attached to the Takegen clan, and they also listen to the orders of the Takegen clan, and they do whatever the Takegen clan tells them to do.

The pavilion lord crescent moon is the Oiran, and he became famous by dancing on the Red Silk Lake, and was deeply valued by the Bamboo Gen clan and became the pavilion master, and now the fame is even worse, but after all, he is a member of the Bamboo Gen clan.

Zhuyuan Qingpeng hasn't asked Yue'er to do anything for a long time. Today, he brought the crescent moon to the Red Silk Lake. On the same undulating lake, the same bamboo source upstairs.

There was only one person waiting here, and that was Natsu.

Xia Jin looked at the crescent moon walking up to the pavilion, the latter was wearing a light red robe, simple makeup, light veil to cover his face, and a pair of eyes that could turn all beings upside down were like stars in the sky, just looking at it like this, Xia Jin's eyes showed a trace of obsession.

He once favored the crescent moon and was very moved.

It's a pity that a woman is too light for him after all, and what he longs for more is the world and the court.

When the crescent moon went upstairs.

Xia Jin showed a smile on his face, and slowly spit out: "Moon girl, long time no see." ”

Yueya'er's face was calm, she already knew what she was coming to do, and Zhuyuan Qingpeng didn't hide it at all. For Takegen, it is to let them be high, to give them shelter, and to let them do anything at any time. Yue'er didn't panic, and respectfully saluted Xia Jin, and said plainly: "Yue'er has seen His Highness." ”

"Excuse me." Xia Jin waved his hand and said with a smile: "I once said that if you can attach yourself to me, you will be prosperous and rich in this life and have endless honor, but you have not been tempted, do you regret it now?" ”

Yue'er lowered her eyes lightly and said lightly: "Your Highness is determined to be in the world, how can you be tempted by me?" ”

Xia Jin's heart suddenly became hot, and a strange look appeared on his white face, and he said, "As long as you beg me now, take me as the master, it's still too late." ”

Yue'er didn't smile, but there was a little more smile in her eyes: "Your Highness now has the authority in her hands and has taken over the court, so can you use this general trend to deceive a little girl?" What His Royal Highness really wants is not the crescent moon, what he really wants is Xu Yuma, but unfortunately, this time the prince is afraid that he will not be able to do so. ”

Natsu laughed.

The crescent moon closed her eyes, her neat eyelashes covered her eyes, and she raised her gooseneck with a look of resignation.

Natsutsu's laughter stopped.

"Did you think he would come?"

The crescent moon closed her lips tightly and did not answer. Xia Jin smiled coldly and said, "Okay! Let's see if he's interested in you. ”

Xia Jin left.

Two other figures walked up, one tall and burly, with a peaceful face, but a pair of eyes that looked like fierce beasts, making people dare not look directly. One was an old dragon bell, holding a dragon-headed cane, with a kind smile on his face, and walked to the crescent moon with a smile.

Crescent opened her eyes.

Lu He didn't look at the crescent moon, and quietly walked to the pavilion and sat cross-legged.

The Dragon Mother chuckled: "It's really a little beauty that I feel sorry for, no wonder it can make that Xu Horse favor, it is indeed a hundred times stronger than my disciple." ”

She smiled, but the palm of her hand stretched out suddenly, lifted the veil on the crescent moon's face, pinched its delicate cheeks, the crescent moon's lips opened slightly, and a pill had already flown into the crescent moon's mouth.

The dragon mother was still smiling kindly, looking at the crescent moon, as if looking at her own daughter.

The crescent moon was cold in her heart.

……

November 15. The day of Emperor Qi's catastrophe.

Snowflakes fell in the sky on this day, and heavy snow soon covered half of the palace.

The palace is on guard. Although the news was blocked, I don't know how many people in the capital got the news and waited anxiously.

This was the day that would determine the direction of the imperial court for the next three hundred years.

But in this tense atmosphere. But there was a sudden news in the capital.

Lu He, who ranked third on the Jindan list, made an appointment to fight against the horse Xu Chuan on the Red Silk Lake!

This battle was set up by the Bamboo Gen clan, and the bet was the crescent moon of the master of the Dream Pavilion!

If Xu Juma comes, it is better than Lu He, and the crescent moon will return to Xu Juma from now on. If Xu Juma can't avoid the battle, or if he is defeated, the crescent moon will be owned by Lu He.

The decisive battle between the third on the Jindan list and the ninth on the Jindan list!

The battle of beauties! Above the court, it was just an insignificant lace anecdote, but in the eyes of more monks and people. But it has a sensational effect.

The news spread so quickly that it swept through the entire capital at an almost jaw-dropping speed.

"Dating a battle with Xu Concubine?"

"Lu He actually made an appointment to fight Xu Juma, the bet is still crescent moon?"

Many young monks were boiling and talking, this was definitely a big event in the capital.

But only a few people know what this covenant battle between the monks represents.

Emperor Qi was the first to get the news, after all, he was still the head of the court.

The snowflakes fluttered outside the hall, and the hall was warm as spring, Qu Fengzi and Emperor Qi sat opposite each other, and Emperor Qi frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, is this Xu Horse really so important? If he is not here, His Majesty is not sure of the catastrophe? Qu Fengzi looked at Emperor Qi in front of him in surprise.

He really didn't expect that what Emperor Qi had just said to him was that Xu Chuan would never be allowed to leave the palace.

"Then, summon Xu Juma now? His Majesty's words, does he Xu Chuan dare to resist the decree? Qu Fengzi said.

Emperor Qi's face was solemn, and he shook his head and said, "I have personally sent a message to Xu Yuma, but there is no response in the slightest. ”

"No response? How dare he? For a woman? Qu Fengzi was taken aback.

I was surprised by the eagerness of Emperor Qi to send a message to Xu Chuan personally, and I was also surprised that Xu Chuan dared not reply.

"No response is the best response. He is still in the palace, and I have ordered Gonggong Deng to see him in person, and no one can stay... A treasure must be left behind. Emperor Qi said in a deep voice.

Treasure?

Qu Fengzi raised his eyebrows and didn't ask much.

Xia Jin was in the palace, and behind him was the black-robed monk Mr. Snake, his eyes looked at the spirit tree outside the window, and the insects on the tree were still tirelessly absorbing the sap of the spirit tree.

"Your Highness, will he go?" Mr. Snake spoke.

Xia Jin took a deep breath, and the expression on his face was more cautious than he had ever been.

Will it go?

He wasn't sure.

He didn't expect that he would eventually be swayed by Xu Chuan to this point.

In the palace of Princess Miaoyin, Qian Xiaolou sent the information, and Princess Miaoyin raised her eyebrows.

"The Takegen clan actually helped Xia Jin?" She frowned, and immediately sent a message to Zhuyuan Qingpeng, and Zhuyuan Qingpeng said about the jade plate. Princess Miaoyin suddenly realized.

Each of the six ancestors has its own unique rules, and for the Takegen clan, the jade plate represents a contract, and Xia Jin can endure it until now, and there are really some cities.

"Princess, will my uncle go?" Lan Gu asked in a low voice.

Princess Miaoyin's brows furrowed.

Will it go?

One thought in her heart hoped that Xu Chuan would not go, and another thought hoped that Xu Chuan would go.

When the prince received the news, he drank a glass of wine lightly with a smile on his face.

Interesting, getting more and more interesting.

Xu Chuan is still in the palace.

The first message came from someone else, it was Zhuyuan Qingpeng.

Zhuyuan Qingpeng only said one sentence, if Xu Chuan doesn't go, the crescent moon will definitely die!

And Takegen was also forced to do so.

Xu Chuan got the news of Zhuyuan Qingpeng, and his face sank suddenly. If it was just a battle of beauties, he might not be able to ignore it, but the crescent moon is a human life...

This is Xia Jin's means, a yang scheme!

Xu Chuan doesn't go, the possibility of Emperor Qi's success in the catastrophe is greatly increased, and the crescent moon is dead!

Xu Chuan went to ...... What is the result?

"Good means." Xu Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that Xia Jin would definitely use means in the end.

But the shamelessness of the means of involving the crescent moon also made his heart angry.

It feels completely irrelevant to Xu Chuan, but this is the disgusting of politics, and often innocent people who have nothing to do with it will become victims of politics!

To go or not to go?

Xu Chuan got up.

The door of the hall opened, and as soon as his figure went out, he paused, and a figure wearing a Xuanqing robe stood quietly outside the hall, like a sculpture, and when he saw Xu Chuan coming out, he immediately saluted respectfully.

"Colt."

Xu Chuan looked at the figure in front of him, his eyes seemed to flicker.

"Grandpa Deng."
