The palace of the central capital is brightly lit.

There are six independent cases in the hall, the first two, and two on the left and right.

Xiao Yu and Lin Yinping strode into the hall side by side, followed by Xiao Jin, Qu Cang, and Wei Ban, who was recovering from his injuries.

"I've seen the prince, I've seen Her Royal Highness the princess. Lu Shixing crossed his arms and bowed in front of his chest.

Lin Yinping said with a smile: "Lu Taiji has worked hard all the way. ”

Xiao Yu waved his hand to excuse himself and said, "This king will have a banquet tonight, everyone should sit down." ”

Everyone sat down separately after agreeing, Xiao Yu and Lin Yinping sat at the first two tables, Lu Shixing sat on the first table on the left, Qu Cang was the next one, and Xiao Jin and Wei Ban sat at the two tables on the right.

Lin Yinping gestured to the ink book on the side, and the ink book slowly retreated backwards. After a while, a stream of maids entered, each carrying a tray of wine or delicacies.

After the food was served, Xiao Yu picked up a pair of ebony chopsticks inlaid with ivory, sandwiched a crab roe dumpling, and said to Lu Shixing: "Lu Taiji is used to eating roasted whole sheep on the grassland, and you might as well come and try the food of the Central Plains. ”

Lu Shixing put a few crab roe dumplings into his mouth, and said with a smile: "The taste is really unusual." ”

After that, he poured himself another full wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, "But compared to eating, this wine is still comfortable to drink, heartburn and lungs, and the whole body is warm." ”

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Last year, Shen Dongzan came to visit Yinping, and that old guy's wine was very bad, every time he drank it, his feet were wet, and the good wine was ruined by him. ”

Lu Shixing filled the wine glass in his hand again and said: "Shen Dongzan did say this when he went back, but he also said that the prince is not kind, and everyone else is rice wine and wine, but when he comes here, it becomes the strongest soju, can the prince have such a thing?"

Xiao Yu laughed.

Xiao Jin raised his glass and interjected, "Lu Taiji, Xiao Jin toasts you." ”

Lu Shixing drank all the wine in the cup, and said with the bottom of the cup facing down: "Little prince, please." ”

Xiao Jin covered his face with his sleeves and drank it all.

Xiao Yu asked, "How serious is the white plague on the grassland?"

Lu Shixing put down the wine glass in his hand when he heard this, and sighed: "The cattle and sheep have suffered heavy losses, our big tribes are better, as long as they stay up to Atami, but some small tribes are gone before they reach Atami, and the snow on the grassland can crush people and bury people, and now we can only wait until the beginning of spring next year to see it, maybe it will be better." ”

At this point, Lu Shixing touched his sparse beard and asked, "I don't know how the war is going on on the prince's side?"

Xiao Yu glanced at him and said noncommittally: "It's just a rabble, it's not necessary yet." If necessary, the king will give orders to the three of you. ”

Lu Shixing smiled and said, "That's good, that's good." ”

Xiao Jin, who was concentrating on competing with a leg of mutton, raised his head after hearing this, and Wei Ban, who happened to be beside him, also raised his head.

Xiao Jin seemed to be aware of it, turned his head to look, and the eyes of the two met slightly.

When it was close to the end of the night banquet, Lin Yinping was too drunk to leave the table early, and after letting a few attendants help Lu Shixing to rest, Xiao Yu took Xiao Jin, Wei Ban and Qu Cang straight out of the hall and walked slowly along the shore of Qinghu Lake.

Xiao Yu asked Qu Cangdao: "The grassland is in charge of the old blind man, does he have any news back?"

"There hasn't been any news yet. Qu Cang replied, "After all, the white plague on the grassland is serious, and the roads are impassable......

Xiao Yu frowned, and interrupted him coldly: "The road is impassable, how did Lu Shixing come here? It's been three months, and there is no news, what is the errand of your Secret Guard Mansion?"

Qu Cang knelt down on one knee and said: "My subordinates are not doing things well, please punish the prince." But...... Could it be that something has changed on the grassland?"

Xiao Yu snorted and said, "It seems that a few big Taiji on the grassland are restless. Forget it, you've been with me for a long time, and the grassland can't reach it, and I can't complain about you, get up. ”

Qu Cang got up and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." “

Xiao Jin said: "It's also possible that you're hungry and anxious, and you really can't help it." ”

Xiao Yu suddenly calmed down, "You said that if this king released the hungry wolf of the grassland into the Central Plains, how would the history books of later generations evaluate the merits and demerits of this king? Will it be said that this king is a sinner through the ages?"

Xiao Jin said without thinking: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different. ”

Xiao Yu shouted lightly: "Bold." ”

Xiao Jin was unmoved, and said calmly: "This is the eternal principle, Xiao Jin is just talking about things, why should my brother be angry!"

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "You all retreat." ”

"The subordinate (brother) retired. The three of them looked at each other and then took their leave.

After the three of them left, Xiao Yu took a step forward and stepped on the surface of Qinghu Lake, and walked towards the center of the lake step by step.

Xiao Yu walked to the center of the lake and stomped his feet, and a circle of cracks cracked on the ice on the surface of the lake, and then the cracks became bigger and bigger, and finally completely shattered, revealing the clear lake water below.

A lilac thunder bead lurking in the lake can be seen faintly, the real person in charge of the sect has left a means in Xiao Yu's mansion to prevent accidents, Xiao Yu also discovered this place by accident, if he expected it to be good, such a thunder bead should have twenty-seven in the palace, if necessary, it will form a thunder pond array, and the entire palace will be protected by it.

However, what Xiao Yu is going to do tonight has nothing to do with this thunder bead, but after he found this thunder bead, he sank a thing into the lake, and with the help of the thunder bead to warm it, now it is time to take it out.

Xiao Yu's five fingers were like hooks, and he lifted them up.

The water began to boil, then burst open, and a pitch-black coffin slowly rose from the bottom of the lake.

The coffin was engraved with dense charms, which had nothing to do with Dao Buddha and Demon, these were all unique charms to the Witch Cult.

This coffin is the masterpiece of the Prairie Witch Cult, which fell into the hands of Xiao Yu a long time ago, and later after being transformed by Zi Shuiyang and Huang Shuiquan, it became an unprecedented corpse coffin.

And this corpse coffin is only known to a few people such as Lan Yu and Zi Shuiyang.

Xiao Yu successively placed several corpses in the coffin, including Hei Shui Wan, the immortal sword Li Xiu, the ghost king, the third sword slave of the Sword Sect, and Zhao Wouji. After the sacrifice of the coffin, this coffin has become an out-and-out evil thing, if it is placed in an ordinary person's house, the evil qi in it alone can make the family die, and after putting the corpse inside, even if it is placed under the scorching sun, the corpse can become an evil ghost.

In the end, Xiao Yu put a living person inside.

Xiao Yu pushed open the lid of the coffin, and a young woman with a moving posture was sleeping inside, with a touch of scarlet between her eyebrows, purple lips, and no blood on her exposed skin.

Tang Ruyue would never have thought that her sister had now become a living dead and was hiding in a coffin at the bottom of Qinghu Lake.

Today's Tang Banyan Tree is covered with Taoist talisman seals, these talismans were handed over to Xiao Yu before Autumn Leaves lost power, all of which have the effect of calming the nerves and calming the mind, and it is these talismans that ensure that Tang Banyan Tree will not lose his mind and will not become a monster who only knows how to kill.

Xiao Yu clasped the jade belt around his waist with one hand and did not continue to move. Although he has the cultivation of the peak of heaven and man, he does not have much research on these secret methods, and his attainments on this are not as good as one Zishui Yang when they are combined.

Zi Shuiyang, who sensed that the coffin was being opened, quietly came not far behind Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu didn't look back, and said in a low voice: "Zi Lao, wake her up." ”

Zi Shuiyang nodded silently, stepped forward, and played a series of dazzling spiritual tricks.

The talismans on the woman's body lost their luster and slowly fell from her body. When the last talisman vanished, a demonic aura visible to the naked eye spread out from the center of the coffin to all directions.

The snow on the ice on the lake was swept away.

The snowflakes that kept falling from the sky slowly turned black under the sinister aura.

Xiao Yu seemed to be smiling, letting the black snowflakes fall on him, and squinting at the woman in the coffin.

The woman slowly opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Yu as well, her hoarse voice mixed with undisguised killing intent, "Xiao Yu!"

Zi Shuiyang held an ebony staff in his hand, blocking in front of Xiao Yu, as if facing a great enemy.

Xiao Yu waved his hand to signal Zi Shuiyang to retreat, and said with a smile: "Miss Tang, long time no see." ”
