The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of the Ice and Snow City, and its existence not only maintains the stability of the entire Ice and Snow City, but also serves as a place for major events to be decided in the city. It can be said that in the Ice and Snow City, the city lord's mansion is the one who makes the rules, that is, the royal law. As such an important place, of course, it is heavily guarded, which can be described as five steps and one sentry, and ten steps and one post.

At this moment, in the garden of the mansion, a man in a white robe with black hair and waist length was sitting in a pavilion and enjoying a group of graceful servants singing and dancing there......

With a faint smile on his handsome face, his fingers on the stone table tapped on the table with the rhythm of the song, he was Han Mingxiao, the city lord of Ice and Snow City.

But at the same moment, a guard suddenly walked in from the courtyard gate and walked up to the man, leaned over and whispered in his ear. When the guards had finished, the man stood up and muttered to himself, "Oh? The old man of the Xiao family came to me, it's really intriguing."

After a moment of silence, he continued, "That's all here today, you all disperse." ”

The voice was not loud, but it still penetrated into the minds of everyone present through the clear rhythm. Suddenly, the dancer's movements and the sound of the soft chant came to an abrupt halt.

"Let's go, you come with me to meet the old man of the Xiao family"

"Yes!"

In the living room, Xiao He was wearing a velvet hat and a bloated coat and sitting on the red chair on the side of the hall, holding a hot tea in his left hand, and his right hand holding the tea lid nudged a few times on the tea and then took a sip, his seemingly calm face couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

"The lord of the Xiao family, the lord of the city has arrived" There was a reminder from the maidservant in his ear, and Xiao He put down the teacup and stood up. After a few seconds, Han Mingxiao stepped on the door and entered.

I saw Xiao He leaning over and complimenting, "Old decay, please meet the city lord, congratulations to the lord, ......"

Han Mingxiao politely helped him and said, "Hey, Xiao family master, please get up quickly." What you said really hurt me. I don't know what the head of the Xiao family is visiting today, if you are a junior, you can do it for you, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Xiao He pretended to be ashamed and said, "Well, since that's the case, I'll just say it." I'm not afraid of the city lord's jokes, the old and unsuccessful grandson just suffered a big loss a few days ago. ”

Han Mingxiao asked, "Oh? How can the head of the Xiao family say this, who in the city doesn't know that Wang Jian is the son of the Wang family, which one of them dares to bully him? ”

Xiao He said, "Hey, ordinary people really don't dare, it's really the people of the Han family." On that day, Han had no desire to rely on himself to be the lord of a mansion, and he was not forgiving my grandson. It's just that my grandson is too honest and keeps giving in, but Han Wuyu's old boy snatched the Red Moon Dagger. ”

"Oh, it turned out that it was done by the people of the Han Mansion, and it's no wonder. What's the matter, does the head of the Yi Xiao family mean that I should come out to the Han Mansion to retrieve the Red Moon Dagger? ”

"The city lord is serious, how can you come forward for such a trivial matter. But ......"

Han Mingxiao raised her eyebrows and asked, "But what?" ”

Xiao He paused, and said gloomily: "City Lord, did you say that the Han Mansion is a bit redundant in the city?!" ”

"What? What do you mean, Master Xiao? Han Mingxiao was puzzled.

Xiao and Mianli hid a needle and said, "City Lord, now the reputation of the Han Mansion in the city is getting higher and higher, although the interests of our five families are balanced, then please think about it, it is in the case of the Pan Mansion being lonely, in other words, in terms of individual power, the Han Mansion has surpassed my Xiao family and the Wang family and is directly approaching the City Lord's Mansion!" ”

Han Mingxiao pondered for a moment after hearing this, and stood up suddenly. He put on a look that catered to Xiao He's point of view, and asked cautiously, "What the head of the Xiao family said is extremely true, so what are you going to do?!" ”

Xiao He said, "City Lord, according to what I see, if the Han family is not removed, it will become a big disaster!" ”

"Having said that, it's not easy to get rid of the Han family. First of all, the Pan Mansion must be on the side of the Han family, if the Pan Mansion makes a move, the old city lord will never sit idly by, you know what he says, even I have to listen to it! ”

"City Lord, you are telling the truth. I've thought about all of this, can I negotiate with the city lord on some of the next plans? ”

"Oh? I want to hear about it! Han Mingxiao saw Xiao He's gaze wandering over the people in the hall, and then said, "You all step down for me!" No one is allowed to get ten steps closer to here without my orders, and those who violate the order will be killed! ”

After everyone in the hall except Han Mingxiao went out for a while, Xiao He said slowly: "City Lord, tomorrow is the Spring Festival, and all the big and small families who want to come to the city will come to give gifts." Before that, I had already asked Tie Shirt to talk to Han Shuimi, the second son of the Han family, that there would be some problems with the congratulatory gifts sent by the Han family tomorrow, and you could write some articles on top of this, this is one of them. As for the second one, it will require your cooperation......"

Han Mingxiao asked curiously, "What do you say, how do you want me to cooperate?" ”

Xiao He said in a low voice, "I need your help to assassinate the old city lord tonight!" ”

Perhaps these words were too unexpected, Han Mingxiao was stunned at first, and said in shock: "What did you say?!" ”

"Lord, listen to me. You have to understand that you and the old city lord are at most an uncle-nephew relationship, if it weren't for the "accidental" death of his son. This position of the city lord is not your turn to sit at all, even if you sit now, I hope you will let go of your negligible family affection as soon as possible, this position of city lord is what you deserve, not the old guy gave it to you! So you don't have to scruple at all! What you want is absolute rule, and the Han family is just a hidden tumor! Besides, you have no way out, but I always remember how great the price to pay for a red moon is. ”

"Hmph...... Hard and soft? Are you trying to blackmail me? Han Mingxiao asked nonchalantly.

Xiao He shook his head, "Of course not, I'm just a pity, the person who acted decisively and ruthlessly back then seems to be gone." Those who have achieved great things are not informal, you are so sad! ”

Han Mingxiao sneered, "Hehe, the head of the Xiao family said this, I wonder if I, Han, have also become a stumbling block on your way to great things?!" ”

Xiao He said, "City Lord, you can rest assured, you and I both know that interests are the eternal melody, and this cooperation is a win-win situation." As for the future, we still have many opportunities for cooperation, and we have always been very friendly to our partner Xiao Jia. ”

"Good! Just follow your plan, and I'll take care of it on the old city lord's side."

"Well, thanks to the city lord's cooperation, Xiao will retire first."

"Don't send it!"

"Come out" As soon as the words fell, the previous guard slowly walked out from a dark corner behind Han Mingxiao. "Retreat, what do you think?"

"City Lord, this old man of the Xiao family is obviously using you to eliminate the thorn in the eye of the Han family. Although he said that it would be good for you, he was the one who got the most benefits! To put it mildly, even if the Han Mansion grows in power, it will not have the intention of usurping, but the Xiao family is not easy to say......"

Han Mingxiao nodded and said, "What you said is good, but this cooperation is still needed, and I am not using him when he uses me." The development of the Han family is too fast, even if he has no intention of usurping. But there are not a few people in the city who have received the favor of the Han family, and there will definitely be people who incite the Han family to rebel among those people...... So we still have to suppress it! ”

Gui Yin said, "City Lord, what about the old City Lord?" ”

Han Mingxiao pondered for a moment, and muttered, "Old City Lord...... In this way, when you go to the military headquarters, you will say that tonight, Chinese New Year's Eve, all the guards are allowed, and after that, you can half rest and half patrol. Oh, by the way, it's been a while since you came to the City Lord's Mansion, I wonder if the person you're looking for has a clue? If you want me to help, just ask."

Guiyin said, "Thank you for your concern, I have found some clues in the next place, so I won't trouble the city lord."

Han Mingxiao said, "Okay, since it's okay, if it's okay, I'll trouble you to go to the military headquarters as soon as possible." ”

"Good! In the next farewell. ”

Han Mingxiao looked up at a flying insect struggling in a spider web under the beam of the house and a black spider not far away, and sighed, "Gui Yin, what kind of person are you, if you can be used by me, why bother living in a small ice and snow city!" After speaking, Han Mingxiao's fingers moved upwards and seemed to be random for a while, and then walked out of the living room without looking back.

Finely choppy sawdust fell, above the red beam: Sweeper of the day, give death! Next to the word, the black spider is greedily sucking on the meal in front of him.

……

Unlike the depression three days ago, the Pan Mansion at this time is somewhat festive. The flaming red lantern, the couplet with a little ink lingering...... The few people who were busy in the house.

"Oops... A little higher, a little slower, a good stop... A little further to the left, well, yes, that's it. ”

"Uncles have worked hard!"

"Haha, Childe is fine, it's not hard at all" As soon as the words came out, the man in command seemed to realize something, and quickly turned his head to look at it and grinned, "Haha, Childe, you're back." Well? Eun Gong, you're here too."

Han Bing arched his hand and said, "Brother Li has said don't call me like that, look at your body like this, it's much better."

"Yes, thank you for saving your life. As long as a few of our brothers are a little sick, you have personally diagnosed and treated us, and you have not confiscated a penny from us. Although I am a rough person, I also understand the truth of knowing the grace of retribution. Nothing else I have is strength, as long as Engong uses my place to command at any time! ”

Han Bing said happily, "Haha, don't say that there is something to use you tonight, I want you all to come to my house for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, when the time comes, everyone will be drunk and resting, no one can not come!" ”

The man smiled embarrassedly, "Engong, you... It was so gracious."

"That's what I commanded, why can't you come?"

The man's rough hands rubbed together on the Mai and said, "Okay! Engong, I will definitely call all my brothers to your house in the evening to pay New Year's greetings! ”

Han Bing stepped forward and punched the man in the chest, "Well, it's interesting enough, men have to be happy!" Hahaha... Oh, Brother Li, do you know where my eldest brother is? ”

The man said, "The head of the family should be in the Tibetan Arsenal." ”

Han Bing turned back to Pan Jue and said, "Let's go, Jue'er, let's go see your father together." Brother Li, don't forget tonight! Leave. ”

The soft sunlight swept through the clouds and sprinkled on a face of vicissitudes through the yellowed window paper. The large room was neatly lined with all kinds of weapons, all of which reflected a cold light. But the vacancy in the Taiwan Desk Office tells people that something seems to be missing here.

The abrupt sound of "......" came from the windowsill, and I saw a sonorous palm gripping the body of a spear. The spear was golden, and a five-clawed golden dragon spiraled up to the top of the barrel, and at the tip of the silver spear was a cluster of golden spear heads that resembled flames. The eyes on Pan Yue's vicissitudes of life looked at the spear in his hand tenderly, and his hands gently rubbed the golden dragon on the barrel of the spear as if he was stroking his lover's long hair.

"Long Yan, I don't know if I still have the qualifications to dance you?!" Pan Yue's deep words revealed a lot of bitterness and sorrow!

The end of the hero, one person, one shot! How lonely and lonely!
