In the corner of the high-walled courtyard of Fan's mansion, the pear tree is in full bloom.

Xuanjie Yanjia raised his head slightly, and his gaze stopped on a small pear blossom, on which a white butterfly landed.

The breeze blew, the petals fell, and the white butterfly danced with it, as if intentionally or unintentionally, and finally landed gently on the metal shoulder armor of the Yan Armor, which was particularly eye-catching on the pitch-black Yan Armor.

The head of the armor twisted to one side, with a slight sound of metal rubbing, and after a second, it raised its left hand, and seemed to tap it gently, the butterfly seemed to have undergone a dimensionality reduction blow, like a wanton dissected painting, imprinted on its shoulder armor, and its white wings were stained red with blood, which looked less dazzling against the black background.

"Heikui, don't move around!" A scholar-like man beckoned to Yanjia, "Follow me." ”

Yan Armor ignored the blood stains on his shoulder armor and obediently walked towards the comer.

The two walked through the pear garden, and the housekeeper of the Fan Mansion seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and the housekeeper greeted him, looking respectful, and said, "Shen Gongzi, we have already arranged it, you can ...... at any time."

Shen Yu quickly interrupted him: "I heard that she let you lose three masters? ”

"The master can't talk about it, it's just some wine bags and rice bags, but it also saves the cost of the house." The housekeeper thought for a moment and quickly added, "Thanks to Shen Gongzi's timely help, there won't be too much trouble." ”

"Don't thank me." Shen Yu pointed to the armor behind him, "Xie Heikui." ”

The butler hesitated for a while, looked the black iron lump up and down, and couldn't help but say, "This, it's just a piece of armor, it's not very good......

"What? He doesn't deserve treatment? Shen Yu was overjoyed and angry, and continued, "He's my best friend, you'd better say, 'Thank you, Brother Heikui', otherwise my friend will be unhappy." ”

The housekeeper swallowed his saliva and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Brother Heikui." ”

Shen Yu smiled, walked to the side and patted the butler's shoulder, and said, "Steward Jia, follow that Fan Mangfu, there is no future." ”

After saying that, I walked forward.

After hearing this, Jia Weizhong hurriedly chased after him, and said with a smile: "Shen Gongzi, I know that you are the most important guest of King Zhenren, and I hope you can recommend and introduce me, I, Jia, am willing to be a cow and a horse, and serve you and King Zhenren as dogs and horses." ”

Shen Yu stopped, turned his head to him and said, "Really? I need to see your sincerity. ”

After Jia Weizhong thought for a while, he pulled him aside and said, "Shen Gongzi, I have something that King Zhenren definitely likes." ”

Shen Yu found that he had been looking at the black kui next to him, so he said, "Don't worry, he's not an outsider, let's say, what is it?" ”

"Have you ever heard of the Yanbing?" Jia Weizhong lowered his voice slightly.

Shen Yu's disdainful eyes immediately lit up just now, and he hurriedly asked, "But the divine weapon created by Yanshi?" ”

"Yes." After saying that, Jia Weizhong took out a wolf's tooth-shaped pendant from his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and handed it to Shen Yu.

Shen Yu looked at the pendant in his hand and said to himself: "That old thing in Junyang City actually gave this kind of divine weapon to a white-haired girl, whether it's okay, it's okay, then I'll accept it for King Zhenren first." ”

Jia Weizhong bowed and said, "I don't know if Shen Gongzi is still satisfied with Jia's sincerity?" ”

Shen Yu wanted to send him away casually, but he was afraid that he would be dissatisfied and cause some trouble. Kill it, and there is one less eyeliner and dog legs, it's a bit of a waste, let's keep it, this person still has some use value.

So, Shen Yu took out the recommendation letter that he had already written and threw it to him, and threw a warning: "I don't want a fourth person to know about this matter." ”

Jia Weizhong wanted to mention "Aren't there three", but after glancing at Hei Kui, he immediately understood, and after putting away the letterhead, he didn't forget to thank him again and again: "Yes, yes, thank you Shen Gongzi, thank you Hei Kui!" ”

"Take me to see the beauty." Shen Yu said to Jia Weizhong.

"Please follow me."

……

The underground prison of Van House.

"It's hidden here, too." Shen Yu said while looking around, "I didn't expect that reckless man to have such a dark side, this underground prison does all the things that can't be seen, right?" ”

"Shen Gongzi misunderstood, this was originally a cellar, and later in order to imprison some strange beasts, that is, the strange beasts that came out of the ruins to cause trouble, he expanded this place and transformed it into the current one." Jia Weizhong explained.

As they went deeper, Shen Yu vaguely heard all kinds of weird, desolate or dull cries, coupled with the dark environment, as if he was about to enter the ghost gate.

Shen Yu's heart tightened, and he said with a hint of questioning, "Why don't you just kill these strange beasts?" ”

"You also know that some princes and nobles love rare beasts, and even specially built gardens for them to raise, and the foreign hunters in the imperial city also have the need for beasts, so ......" Jia Weizhong was a little helpless.

"So these beasts are going to be sold?" Shen Yu took over.

Jia Weizhong nodded, and quickly shook his head: "No, it can be regarded as a tribute to Junyang." ”

After finishing speaking, Jia Weizhong seemed to think of something, and added: "If King Zhenren is also interested in strange beasts, I can persuade the master to give one of them to the prince." ”

"Let's talk about it then," Shen Yu said with a wave of his hand.

Let him transport a strange beast from the ruins to Renzhou, not to mention the long distance, and he has to be afraid all day long, which makes him frightened.

Jia Weizhong put the torches burning in his hand close to the torches on both sides of the prison entrance, lit them, and walked in with his own torches.

After entering, there is an aisle in the middle, and on both sides are neatly placed large iron cages, and the things in the iron cage have long felt that someone is coming, and they have become restless, and the sound of iron cages colliding, strange howls, and sounds are in the ears.

The torches burned vigorously, but they still couldn't dispel the thick darkness, and in the darkness there were several pairs of glowing eyes staring at two living people and an iron lump.

"It's foggy, it emits a black mist around it, it doesn't like light." Jia Weizhong explained.

Shen Yu's eyes were fixed on the front, trying not to pay attention to the things on both sides, this short aisle seemed very long, and finally, at the end of the aisle, he saw Shangguan Xiao with his hands and feet tied into a cross.

Although Shangguan Xiao was exhausted from fighting the three of them before, and now she is locked up here with this group of strange beasts, her eyes are resolute, her expression is calm, and she is unmoved.

This made Shen Yu a little impressed, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of respect in his heart, but thinking that he had a task on his side, that respect was quickly forcibly pinched off by him.

Shen Yu glanced at Jia Weizhong, and Jia Weizhong immediately understood and left.

After seeing him walk out of the prison, Shen Yu turned to Shangguan Xiao and got straight to the point: "Say, what are you going to do in Yuanxu?" ”

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, and didn't even look at himself, Shen Yu suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Did you bring something back?" ”

There was still no response.

Shen Yu said again: "I heard that the emperor is very old, and he has always wanted to find immortal medicine and find immortality, yes or no?" ”

Shangguan Xiao was shocked in his heart, and looked at Shen Yu, still silent.

"That's it, let's say, where is the elixir?" Shen Yu's tone was calm, as if he had a chance to win.

Shangguan Xiao looked away again and ignored it.

Seeing this scene, Shen Yu unhurriedly took out the pendant that Jia Weizhong gave him from his cuffs, and said to her, "This is your thing, right?" I don't know what it's like to be slashed by my own weapon, especially on this handsome face. ”

Shangguan Xiao turned her head, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, which looked very strange in the dim firelight.
