After experiencing the turmoil of Tianlang Lake, I suddenly came to the isolated Winter Underworld Mountain, and the rhythm of life with almost nothing to do made people feel a little uncomfortable.

After eating in the morning, the rest of the thing is to be idle, the night terror hall belongs to the temperament that can't sit still, the injury is not good and it is not suitable for practicing fists and feet, so he followed Qinghe to visit the medicine field deep in the mountains, which can be regarded as stepping into spring in advance.

Ben Ben has stayed in Yun'an City in previous years, and when she came to Guanwai at this time, she definitely wanted to look around, but Shizun was in front of her, she was not good at being a little daughter-in-law like Qinghe to support her lover, just followed behind, carrying some picnic objects in her hands, and traveled around with Shizun.

Shui'er has a natural personality, as if he is interested in everything, walking all the way around the mountains and rivers, and occasionally stopping to rest, he will also ridicule Qinghe two sentences:

"It is worthy of being a thief who is alone in the world, I worked hard all night yesterday, and I can still be so neat when I get up early to climb the mountain......"

"Can you die if you don't speak?"

"It's just the four of us, and there are no outsiders, so it's boring not to talk......"

……

The night terror hall basked in the small sun of early spring, wandering among the green mountains, because the three girls had no milk to eat, and it was not easy to move their hands and feet on the road, but they listened to the conversation of the three silently.

The medicinal fields of the Winter Styx Mountain are all cultivated on the slopes, planted with medicinal materials such as gastrodia, and there are artificially raised mountain ginseng in the woods, because the harvest is usually based on the year, and there is usually no one to take care of it, only the clan elders who are in charge occasionally patrol the mountains to turn around.

After walking for most of the day, the four of them arrived at a flat ridge, where they could see the mountains and the wilderness in the distance, and the thin clouds ran to their feet, and the scenery was quite magnificent.

Fan Qinghe put down the belongings he was carrying, took out the blanket and spread it on the grass that had just sprouted, and then sat down on it with the Night Terror Hall.

Xuanji Zhenren was lazy and wanted to sit down next to him, but Fan Qinghe saw that the demon girl didn't help with anything, and wanted to enjoy the ready-made, so he was a little unhappy, and motioned to the grove next to him, and ordered:

"You go cut down a tree, cut a few sticks, and let's play the drinking order."

Xuanji Zhenren did not refuse this, and came to a small tree with the Hehuan sword, and cut it into several knots in a few clicks, and engraved words on it.

Dongfang Liren sat beside the Night Terror Hall, and when he saw that the master was far away, he gently approached Fan Qinghe and asked with concern:

"Miss Fan, how are you doing, are you okay?"

Fan Qinghe is quite durable, although he drove the pile in the middle of the night yesterday, but it was only a little sour in the morning, and now he is fine.

Seeing the queen ask directly, her face turned red, and she looked at him left and right:

"What can I do, I should ask the Night Terrors."

"I'm fine, I feel that it will be fine to recover in a few days, and my skills have also increased a little, and I guess I will be enough for the threshold of the Martial Saint."

Night Terror Hall sat on the blanket, and saw that both of them were sitting far away, and his eyes were a little helpless:

"You sit closer, sit so far, where will Fairy Lu sit later......

Dongfang was afraid of being touched, and placed the dried fruits he carried, as if he didn't hear them.

And Fan Qinghe saw that the queen didn't move, and the night terror hall spoke again, she couldn't also treat it as if she couldn't hear it, so she could only move forward a little at the moment, but as soon as she got closer, she was touched on the back.

The three of them chatted for a few words, and Xuanji Zhenren walked back from not far away, holding a handful of freshly cut out wooden sticks, and even made a wooden stick holder by the way, and sat down next to the person:

"You've played with the wine chips, haven't you? It is the turn of the lot, and the person who shakes it out will do things according to the instructions on the lot, and if he can't do it, he will drink. ”

Dongfang Liren naturally played this game, but he was not worried about the master's proportions, and he turned his head to look at the wooden stick:

"Master, what did you engrave?"

Xuanji Zhenren put away the wooden stick and didn't let the apprentice see it:

"My family plays in private, so I can naturally let it go, I can't just drink."

Night Terror felt that Shui Er was ready to be a demon, but the three girls were all his daughters-in-law, and he didn't have anything to let go, so he smiled at the moment:

"Let's have fun, why don't I come first?"

Seeing this, Xuanji Zhenren handed the sign holder to the Night Terror Hall.

Fan Qinghe felt that the demon girl would definitely mess around, but Dongfang was away from people, and the demon girl was no longer more embarrassed than her, so she didn't coax it at the moment, and looked at the night terror hall shaking the sticker.

Boom~

After shaking back and forth only three or two times, a white wooden skewer fell on the blanket.

Dongfang Liren picked up the signature and glanced at it slightly:

"Kiss the person on the right and take a ......"

As he spoke, he blinked his eyes and looked at the ...... sitting on the right side of the Night Terror Hall

Isn't that her?!

Dongfang was stunned for a moment, and quickly inserted the skewer back, with a majestic expression:

"You drink."

Why do you want to drink when you do it in the Night Terror Hall? He said with a smile: "You have to follow the rules when you enforce the wine order, it's just a matter of playing on the wine table, it's nothing ......."

As he spoke, he leaned over and pouted on his stupid face:

"Alright, it's your turn."

Dongfang Liren was scolded in front of his master, his face turned fiery red, and after glaring at the Night Terror, he suppressed the embarrassment in his heart, took the lottery holder, and shook it back and forth.

Boom~

Bang~

The signature fell on the blanket, face up, and before Dongfang Liren could pick it up, he saw that it was written - holding his chest and upside down......

？

Dongfang was speechless directly, and turned his eyes to look at the dignified master next to him:

"Master, what are you writing about?"

Xuanji Zhenren didn't expect such bad luck from people, and shrugged his shoulders slightly and said:

"It's just fun, and you don't lose a piece of meat, you can't make a drink."

Dongfang Liren's alcohol consumption is not as outrageous as Shizun, start drinking it now, what if you smoke something more outrageous later, and drink it again?

She hesitated, raised her hand to hold the fat-headed dragon, tossed it slightly, and then quickly gave the holder to Shizun.

Fan Qinghe knew that the demon girl was strong in martial arts, and he was afraid that the demon girl would cheat, so he moved to the front and stared at his hand carefully:

"Shake it."

Xuanji Zhenren didn't disdain to cheat, and shook himself twice, throwing out a signature.

Seeing this, the night terror hall seemed to be curious about the baby, and came to look at it together with Ben Ben.

As a result, it can be seen that it reads - when was the first time you hugged a man?

“……”

Night Terror Hall and Fan Qinghe, when they saw this, their eyes showed a little strangeness.

And Dongfang Liren is full of gossip, and he got closer and asked:

"Master, have you ever hugged a man?"

When Xuanji Zhenren saw the sign, he naturally remembered the night when he was in the depths of Wushan Mountain, hugging the night terrors.

But in front of the departing person, she was embarrassed to say it, so she picked up the wine gourd:

"I drink. Qinghe, it's your turn. ”

"Alas~......"

Dongfang was disappointed, and looked at Aunt Fan again.

When it was Fan Qinghe's turn, he was naturally nervous, picked up the sticker, swayed back and forth twice, and didn't dare to look at it himself when the signature fell, but asked the Night Terror Hall:

"What is written?"

Night Terror picked up the signature and looked at it with Clumsy:

"Rub the ...... sitting on the left"

Fan Qinghe was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to be able to shake out this kind of good sign, everyone was a little more energetic, and without waiting for the demon girl to dodge, he leaned over, raised his hand and shook it, his five fingers fell into it, rubbed it back and forth twice, and said:

"It's so soft, isn't it?"

Xuanji's real mind is quite strong, and he said "That's nature~" without changing his face.

Dongfang Liren saw the two women playing with such flowers, her face turned red, and when she saw that Night Terror Hall dared to peek, her eyes were cold, and she directly turned Night Terror Hall's cheeks to the other side:

"What are you looking at?"

"Heh~ I didn't see anything, it's my turn...... Well...... Rub the ...... sitting on the right."

“？”

Dongfang was stunned for a moment, and quickly raised his hand to hug the fat-headed dragon:

"Color, you did it on purpose, right? Why do you keep tossing this king? ”

Night Terror Hall spread his hands slightly, a little innocent:

"I'm really shaking it casually, just four people, either on the left or on the right......"

"Then you drink!"

"I'm injured and can't drink too much......"

"You...... Yikes~"

Dongfang Liren still wanted to say a few words in righteousness and strictness, but the fat head dragon was pinched, his eyes were angry and annoyed, he stood up and squeezed Shizun to the night terror hall:

"Master, let's change positions."

Xuanji Zhenren was pushed into the fire pit by the apprentice, so naturally it didn't matter, he came to him and continued to shake, but this time he drew a good one - pull the neckline open and let the person on the other side take a look.

Now that the opposite is Qinghe, Xuanji Zhenren naturally has no worries, his fingers lightly hooked the collar, and he bowed slightly:

"Uh-huh~"

After Fan Qinghe glanced at it, he found that the demon girl was wearing a white silk hollow coat full of turmoil, and she straightened her chest slightly and said in disgust:

"Just this bit of meat, what's so good-looking, and the bells and whistles you wear......"

"Keep going......

Night Terror Hall sat between the three of them, watching the three of them toss back and forth, and felt that this game was really fun, no wonder the ladies of the capital liked to ask a few heads to sit together, if they didn't match men and women, it was really not interesting to play.

This kind of meat play, men must take advantage of sitting in it, and Night Terror Hall was still enjoying it at first.

But after playing for a while, he realized that the game was quite fair, and after a few rounds, he finally drew the draw - stood up and twisted twice......

Night Terror Hall was originally full of smiles, and his eyes froze when he picked up the wooden skewer, and then he picked up the wine jug:

"I'll drink!"

Dongfang Liren was touched several times, and when he saw this, he naturally stopped doing it, and held down the wine jug:

"You are injured, you can't drink more, twist this king!"

A big man in the night terror hall got up and scratched his head and made a gesture, this martial saint was afraid that he would not be able to do it, so he hid around at the moment and drank the wine......

——

When Night Terror Hall was having fun in the Winter Styx Mountain, the turmoil outside did not stop because of his departure.

With the arrival of the empress of the Southern Dynasty in Jingjie City, the border pass of the two dynasties entered a state of silence, the border army and even the people were outside the pass, and the merchant travelers walking in the enemy country noticed that the wind was wrong, and they were afraid of being trapped in the enemy country during the war, so they returned to the pass one after another, and the people who entered and exited the pass were a few points more than usual.

Pingyi City as the southernmost city in the western Xinjiang, outside the city is the prairie fire, if the two countries go to war, this place is the first place for the king of Liang to attack, for this guard is far tighter than the Xihai capital, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are hoarded inside and outside the city.

After the death of King Zuoxian, although the prince succeeded to the throne on the same day and took the vacancy of the commander, the prince of Zuoxian and King Zuoxian are two different things, with shallow qualifications and no prestige, it is difficult to suppress the generals and doormen under his command, although the appearance of the army seems to be neat, but the city is a little chaotic.

For example, the commander of Plains City, because the prince has never fought, he can't trust the current military arrangements of the palace at all, and everything is according to the deployment of King Zuo Xian during his lifetime; And the generals under his command were afraid of offending the new king, and they were settled by the queen of autumn, which led to various plans being a bit out of touch.

This is true even for the army, and the rest is naturally more chaotic.

As soon as King Zuo Xian died, the White Owl Camp had no master, because most of the masters were killed and injured in the first battle of Xuehu Hua, and now there are not many available people left, and the new king is so busy that he has no time to take care of this group of thugs who spend money to raise, so that the White Owl Camp has directly become a headless fly, and he doesn't know what to do next.

Jia Shengzi and the others, who were left on standby in Pingyi City, were originally collecting information about the people who came and went to the rivers and lakes, but now even if they did, no one from the Xihai Protectorate came to pick it up, and their group was forgotten in Pingyi City.

At noon, in the yamen of the anti-theft room in Pingyi City.

Dozens of white owl camp martial artists, because no one arranged a place to go, were all lying in the class room.

Jia Shengzi is the advisor of King Zuoxian, and in the past, in order to prevent the suspicion of the prince, he did not have much contact with the prince; Now that the prince is gone, according to the practice of a son of heaven and a courtier, he estimates that he should also find another job, at this time in the teahouse on the street, chatting with the military advisors of the generals of Pingyi City, to see if he can take the team and get an errand in the general's mansion.

In the courtyard behind the yamen, Cao Aning and the others didn't have any worries.

A few secret guards who came out with him had already begun to pack up their things and were ready to follow Cao Aning back to Great Wei to resume their lives.

Cao Aning and Xu Tianying sat on both sides of the sea of tea in the house, boiling kung fu tea, waiting for the recall order of the Night Great Yama King.

Xu Tianying followed all the way to today, and he really admired Cao Aning, and when he helped pour tea, he sighed:

"I didn't believe in Destiny before, but now I have to believe it. Say you're useful, you haven't done anything; Say you're useless, continue to bring down King Wu, King Yan, and King Zuoxian, whoever uses you will be unlucky......"

Cao Aning also felt that he was evil, but as a person with great ambitions, he still frowned and said:

"What is this saying? King Wu was used as a pawn by me, and King Yan was an accident, as for King Zuoxian, I sat in Pingyi City and didn't do anything, how can he be counted on my head when he died......"

"So it's a destiny that normal people can't understand, but it just happened. Anyway, you have to be careful in the future, you kind of broom star, Lord Night may not dare to stay on his side......"

Cao Aning waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, the Night Great Yama King is famous for his hard life, he is almost the same, where did I get him."

"Alas~ Now that King Zuo Xian has fallen, we can also be regarded as famous, relying on this merit, I will return to Yun'an to estimate that I can get back the position of the year, and in my lifetime, I may be able to take over Cao Gong's class......"

Xu Tianying still has the name of the Eight Great Kui, but he doesn't dare to go back and show his head, and when he heard this, he also sighed:

"The brand of the Cloud Interception Palace can't be down, I, as an apprentice, have atoned for so long, and I can be regarded as paying off the master's debt. If you don't want to go back and call your senior brother back, and re-establish the name of the Cloud Interception Palace, you will be satisfied......"

"This problem is not big, now that the Great Wei Jianghu has been swept away by the Night Great Yama King, you return to the Intercepting Cloud Palace, I don't think you will be at the bottom of the Eight Kui......"

The two chatted like this, discussing future plans, but before they could discuss the reason, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from outside the yamen.

Stomp ......

Xu Tianying's eyes moved, got up and came to the door, but saw five people in brocade clothes, dismounted from outside the yamen and walked in, seeing that the waist card was Yanjing's messenger.

Xu Tianying frowned when he saw this, and stepped forward to salute:

"Meet a few adults and dare to ask how many are ......"

The five officials were the leader, a middle-aged man who was quite strict, and after glancing at the courtyard for a few times, he took out the roster from behind his waist:

"The prince has an order, Xu Tianying, Jia Shengzi, Cao Aning, Tang Yudan, Du Mao...... From now on, he will go to Yanjing with his official to stand by. The rest of the idlers, holding the letter of the White Owl Battalion, went to the official to receive the silver, and dismissed on the spot......"

Xu Tianying was stunned when he heard this, and understood the meaning of this order, which was to take away the available people in the White Owl camp, and leave the rest of the miscellaneous fish to fend for himself with some severance pay.

Xu Tianying didn't expect that the Northern Liang Imperial Court still remembered their gang of thugs, and asked at the moment:

"Dare to ask my father-in-law?"

Before the middle-aged official could respond, Jia Shengzi hurriedly ran in from outside, nodded to a few people along the way, and then explained:

"The son-in-law of Ziliang, the head of the twelve servants of Yandu, the celebrity around the saint, we are in luck. Thank you ......"

Xu Tianying heard that he was recruited by the eagle dog under the command of Emperor Liang, and he was a little shocked in his heart, as a dark pile, where did he dare to run to Yanjing.

But the order of the Night Yama King to call them a day has not yet come down, and now they are running back to Dawei without permission, and they will definitely not be able to make a difference, seeing Jia Shengzi's urging, they can only bow down and thank them, and then ask:

"I'll go to the palace on an errand later?"

The official mission headed by him, whose identity is similar to that of the small commander of the secret guard, and the minions of the Son of Heaven, who are upright, are not very polite to this group of Jianghu Youyong, and responded when he heard the words:

"Only eunuchs can be on errands in the palace, and you used to run errands for the nobles in the palace. It's not so easy to eat imperial food, but when you get to Yanjing, you can do chores first, and you are capable and sensible, so you can naturally reuse it. ”

"Oh......"

"I'll see...... You're dealing with it, right? You have good martial arts, the master has assassinated the empress, and your foundation is clean and reliable, maybe you can go to the National Teacher's Mansion on an errand. By the way, who is Cao Aning? ”

Cao Aning was still a little blindsided, and hurriedly stepped forward when he heard this:

"Exactly down there."

The chief official flipped through the booklet and said unexpectedly:

"You don't have a lot of ability, but you have done a lot of things, you have helped King Wu and King Yan rebel, robbed the black ya, assassinated the empress, and the foundation is also clean, but the teacher is not very good, Cao Qiansui's apprentice, the court does not dare to use it indiscriminately.

"However, a few days ago, a father-in-law had an accident in Tianlang Lake, and the twelve servants of Yandu lacked a person, so they couldn't find a suitable one in a short time.

"You have a good foundation, and you are a eunuch, you can go with this official to meet the next few chief managers, if you can get favor, you can climb to the sky in the future."

Cao Aning actually wanted to go back to Dawei to be the little manager, and he didn't want to risk going deep into the tiger's den and running to Yanjing to die.

But such a good opportunity is in front of him, if he breaks into the Yanjing Imperial City and does a great career, I am afraid that the future credit can be side by side with the Night Great Yama King, and the master has to give him shoes, this opportunity will not be encountered once in ten lifetimes.

For this reason, Cao Aning hesitated for a moment, but still bowed down and said:

"Thank you, Lord for appreciation."

"Okay, pack your things and go, Grandpa Yin is waiting outside the city. Gonggong Yin is the third chief manager of the Ouchi, and when he met, he remembered to be smart, if it weren't for the loyalty of the prince, where would the court care about your subordinates running errands, this opportunity ordinary people in the rivers and lakes can't ask for it......"

"That's nature."

……

The routine has become getting up in the afternoon again.or2
