After the snow stopped, the sun was shining.

But instead of rising, the temperature has become colder as the snow melts.

From time to time, the north wind blows, rolling up a large canopy of snowflakes and bringing a bone-chilling coolness.

The manor, located on the outskirts of northern Beijing, was silent.

Even the snow in front of the door was not cleared.

Quietly, a figure with wide robes and big sleeves appeared in the manor.

Wen Yan looked around left and right, the tip of his nose moved slightly, and his complexion gradually became calm.

Soon after, he came to the pavilion in the depths of the manor, and his eyes fell on the overturned chessboard.

Whether it is the black and white chess pieces scattered all over the ground, or the dark red bloodstains, it seems to be silently telling the chaos of last night.

Suddenly, a corner of clothes embedded in the crack in the stone attracted Wen Yan's attention.

He took it to his eyes and looked closely, and after a moment he let out a heavy breath.

"Lord Zuo, something seems to be wrong."

A man in Tsing Yi rushed over, "My subordinates found the bodies of other fellow disciples, and they were piled up in the sludge of that fish pond. ”

Wen Yan was silent for a moment, "Have you found the Holy Maiden and Prince Yan's son?" ”

"The subordinates have found two corpses, and they seem to be dressed as saints and princes, but so far they have not found their heads, so I don't dare to really confirm whether they are ...... or not."

"You don't have to say it."

Wen Yan waved his hand, interrupted his subordinates' reports, and slowly sat down on the stone bench, without saying anything for a long time.

Things seem to be in trouble.

And it's quite a hassle.

Wen Yan could basically determine that Su Xiang and Wu Qinglong had already lost their lives last night.

Su Xiang is the alternate saintess he has been betting on for a long time, if he can stand out and take a step further and become a real Qinglian saintess, his identity and strength level will definitely become completely different.

It can be described as a leap of fish and a dragon gate.

Then as an important person on the line, he will naturally rise to the top, and in time, he may even sit in the position of the Qinglian Dharma King and control the entire land of the dead.

However, now it is about to reach the critical moment of the battle for the Holy Maiden, and she died outside for nothing, which can be called a very huge blow to the vein to which they belong.

What made Wen Yan even more irritable was that it was not only Su Xiang himself who died, but also Wu Qinglong.

Wu Qinglong is the prince of Prince Yan, and he is also one of their main targets, and the importance of this person can be imagined.

As a result, he has now died tragically in the territory of the Qinglian Sect, and if this matter is known to Prince Yan, there will be a huge crack in the cooperative relationship between the two sides.

Then all the costs they have invested in before may come to naught.

Wen Yan sat still in the gazebo, deep in thought.

After a long time, he finally stood up slowly and ordered his henchmen standing beside him, "Clean up the manor, block all news, and never leak a single thing." ”

"And ......"

After a moment of silence, Wen Yan closed his eyes and continued, "This matter can drag on for a while, even if it can't drag on in the end, we must dissociate Wu Qinglong's death from us, and it can't affect the implementation of the follow-up plan." ”

"My subordinates understand!"

In the afternoon, Wei Tao followed a group of scholars who were walking on a snowy outing, and entered the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty from the north gate.

People come and go in the city, shuttling like weaving.

Except for the occasional patrols of soldiers in armor on the road, there was no tension in the rest.

Perhaps for ordinary residents, what happened in the court and in the Great Inner Palace was simply far away, and as long as there was no disaster of swords, it was equivalent to non-existence.

After walking a long way along the bustling and lively street, and turning a few corners, he finally saw the restaurant called Jingweixuan.

At this time, it was past the busiest meal at noon, and in addition to the sporadic diners, only the guys who watched the tables and chairs were left cleaning up, and it seemed a little quiet and deserted.

Seeing that a diner entered the door, and saw that he was still a well-dressed boy, the shopkeeper hurriedly put down the work in his hand and rushed over with a smile on his face.

Wei Tao found a secluded private room and sat down, and Xiao Er lightly poured tea and water on the side, and put dried fruit snacks on the side.

After finishing his work, he picked up a towel and wiped his sweat, and was just about to sing the name of the dish when he was directly interrupted.

Wei Tao casually threw a silver ingot to the shopkeeper, smiled and said slowly, "You don't have to report the name of the dish, I see that there is a signboard of Jingweixuan hanging on the door outside, you just have the best dish in the store and serve it, is this ingot of silver enough?" ”

"Enough is enough, son, please wait a while, the little one will go and tell the kitchen, let the master use all his skills, and ensure that you are satisfied."

"Well, go ahead, as long as it tastes good, I have other rewards."

Wei Tao smiled again and picked up the freshly brewed tea.

I have to say that the kitchen of the restaurant moves very quickly, and after just a tea time, all kinds of dishes are served like water, crowding the table to the brim.

Wei Tao took a deep breath of the rich aroma of vegetables, directly picked up an elbow, clicked twice and swallowed the flesh and bones, and then looked at the steaming goose that was still steaming.

At that moment, there was a soft knock on the door of the box.

A slightly muffled man's voice came in. Obviously not the guy who has been working here just now.

"The small one is Wan Fusheng, the shopkeeper of the restaurant, who has come to present a jar of wine to his son."

Wei Tao looked up, and saw a middle-aged man in a cotton robe, white and rich, holding a wine jar in his hand, bowing his head and coming in from outside the door, and carefully placing it on the table.

"Shopkeeper Wan, sit down." Wei Tao gestured to the empty seat across the table.

Wan Fusheng didn't sit down, he slapped open the mud seal and poured the wine bowl, and the rich and mellow fragrance suddenly filled the entire box.

He took two steps back, gave a deep salute, and lowered his voice suddenly, "My subordinates have seen Wei Daozi." ”

Wei Tao nodded, took a sip of the wine bowl, and asked with some curiosity, "What kind of wine is this jar, and why does it taste so much more mellow than what I just drank?" ”

Wan Fusheng respectfully put the wine jar on the table, hugged his fists and saluted, "This is the aging wine in the cellar of the subordinates, and it is generally not sold to the outside. ”

Drinking a bowl of wine slowly, Wei Tao closed his eyes and tasted it for a long time and exclaimed, "It's really good, it's really worthy of the name of cellared agarwood." ”

"It's good if you like it." Wan Fusheng said with a smile, and the temperament of the whole person unconsciously became calm and steady, no longer a little slippery and delicate when he first entered the door.

Wei Tao rubbed the smooth and delicate wine cup, "Deacon Wan should have received the summons and knew my intentions. ”

Wan Fusheng nodded, and took out a stack of white paper full of words from his personal position, "Regarding the information about Prince Cheng and Prince Yan, my subordinates have collected and sorted out some of it, and Daozi can look at it at any time." ”

Speaking of this, he added, "However, these two have special identities, and there may be a big gap in intelligence collection. ”

Wei Tao slowly flipped through the contents recorded on the paper, "Deacon Wan has done a good job, and with this news, it has solved my big problem." ”

Wan Fusheng bowed again, "The sect and the Taoist master are as kind to me as a mountain, and my subordinates have just done some small things, and it is not enough to repay the mountain gate, and I can't afford to be praised by the Daoist at all." ”

Wei Tao bowed slightly, and was about to say something, when his eyes suddenly fell on a few lines of handwriting, and his eyes flashed thoughtfully.

After reading it again, he didn't see any movement, and the secret letter quietly turned into powder and fell into the soup basin, never to change back to its original appearance.

"Today's wine and food are very good, and the shopkeeper has worked hard." Wei Tao picked up the wine bowl in his hand and brought it to his mouth to drink it slowly.

"It's good if Childe likes it." Wan Fu bowed and stepped back out of the box door.

A few days later.

In the center of the official road, a team with bright armor and a strong atmosphere, guarding three black carriages, was slowly moving in the direction of Beijing.

The wheels crushed the snow that had not yet melted, leaving several straight and long wheel prints.

In the first carriage, an old man with white hair was half-lying and half-sitting, his somewhat clumsy body dangling along the carriage, his eyes half-open and half-closed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

The carriage in the middle is tall and spacious, and there is room for a simple and elegant desk in the carriage.

Behind the table sat a middle-aged man with a dignified face, holding a volume in his hand and reading carefully.

From time to time, I picked up a small pen and made detailed annotations on it.

There was also a graceful woman in palace dress who accompanied him, grinding ink and pouring tea for him, adding fragrance to his red sleeves.

As the carriage moved forward, the candle flame on the table shook slightly, reflecting the woman's white face as white as jade, which could be broken by blowing.

She kept her eyes on the man, as if she was the only one in her eyes, ignoring everything else.

After a while, the middle-aged man put down the scroll, drank the tea in his cup, and closed his eyes a little tiredly.

"Isn't there any news from Qinglong yet?"

He asked, in a deep voice.

The palace woman said, "When he was in the territory, didn't he often go home for a few days, and the concubine body has long been used to it." ”

"The territory is the territory, the capital is the capital, and there are many things that can be done in the territory, and you must be cautious when you get here, and you can't care as little as before."

The middle-aged man changed his words, "He won't go to see that demon girl again, he has already told him not to get too close to these people, so as not to be used and not know it." ”

"Don't be angry, wait for Qinglong to come back, and the concubine will talk to him well."

The woman in the palace dress filled the tea cup and quietly changed the topic, "It's just a Jingnan Wei camp, and it is worth the prince to go on this experience personally?" ”

"It's just a Jingnan Wei camp, so it's naturally not worth my personal visit."

The middle-aged man took a sip of the teacup, savoring the hot and bitter taste, "But the person I want to meet this time is a little special, and it seems a little inappropriate to let him enter the city, so I took the opportunity to take over the guard camp and talk to him in detail."

It can also be regarded as taking the concubine on a snow outing, and resting and playing in the suburbs for two days. ”

The woman in the palace costume blinked, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

Her smile suddenly seemed to be like a hundred flowers blooming, adding a bit of bright color to everything in the carriage.

Outside the car is a cold wind whistling by, but inside is such a warm scene full of warmth, the two are separated by the heavy carriage, and they become two completely different worlds.

In the last carriage, a white-clothed swordsman crossed his knees, and placed a three-foot Qingfeng with a simple style on his lap, trembling slightly with his breath and breathing, and from time to time let out a dragon's soft roar.

Escorted by dozens of horsemen, the carriage headed south, soon leaving the majestic city behind.

…………

…………

………………

The sky was getting dark, and the Jingnan Guard Camp was quiet.

Lin Lianfang kept circling in circles in the military tent.

He didn't want to look at the secret letter on the table, the handwriting on it was like a mantra, and if he looked at it more, it would make people upset, irritable, and depressed.

Lin Lianfang also knew about the recent events in the capital, but he had no intention of participating in them at all.

As the commander of the Jingnan Guard, loyalty and purity are the qualities that should be made.

As for the object of loyalty, it is naturally the Great Zhou Emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

In addition, only his benefactor remained, and it was Prince Cheng who fished him out of the quagmire and gave him a new life.

However, the appearance of this secret letter was like a boulder thrown into the lake, stirring up his originally plain state of mind.

There was even some inexplicable trepidation.

If it weren't for the fear that there would be eyeliner planted by the other party around him, Lin Lianfang would have wanted to scold, why did he have to put him on the fire to fry and barbecue.

In addition, now that the situation in Ouchi is unknown, Prince Cheng has not said a word, which has already made him extremely restless.

"Has anything changed in the city now?" As soon as Lin Lianfang opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was hoarse and dry, almost to the point of being speechless.

The soldiers who were accompanying him in the tent replied respectfully, "Commander Qiqi, the capital is calm and calm, and nothing abnormal has happened. ”

"Is this another day going to get me through?"

Lin Lianfang secretly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and ordered in a deep voice: "Don't take it lightly, everyone does not take off their clothes and armor, and their knives do not leave their bodies, rest on the spot, and keep their eyes open everywhere to prevent them from being attacked by thieves."

"Subordinates obey the orders of the commander!"

The soldiers were ordered to leave, and in the empty tent, Lin Lianfang pinched his eyebrows and sat down slowly, feeling a wave of exhaustion that was so thick that he couldn't dissolve.

"Now I'm afraid that if I don't get a direct response, Prince Yan will directly take my life."

"However, now that the palace is so tightly obscured that even a gossip cannot be transmitted, who knows what is the situation of the one on the dragon chair now.

In case the current saint just pretends to be seriously ill, just waiting for someone to jump out, and then thunder and catch them all, I, the commander of the Jingnan Guard Battalion, will be crushed into powder immediately. ”

"And Prince Cheng, who still doesn't know what his old man thinks.

If this secret letter is sent by Prince Cheng himself, then even if I give up my life, I don't have to hesitate to lead my troops directly into the capital immediately, instead of being like a hot potato like now. ”

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if I don't have to consider the relationship between Prince Cheng, if I really listen to the words of the secret letter and lead the troops into the city as agreed, after Prince Yan is completed, I am afraid that I will inevitably be cooked by all the birds and the dead dogs.

After all, I am not a real confidant of this person, where do I dare to hope that the so-called dragon merit is the most likely to be used as a blood-stained knife to destroy the corpse. ”

What made Lin Lianfang even more uneasy was that according to the information he had sought, Prince Yan had gathered more than one martial arts master under his command.

If the other party really doesn't care about taking his life, with the soldiers and horses of the Jingnan Guard Battalion, even if they line up in battle formation in advance, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop the attack and killing of the grandmaster warrior.

Lin Lianfang stopped, picked up the tea cup that had been cooled on the table, and wanted to moisten his throat, which was a little thirsty and astringent.

He had just brought the tea to his lips when a sudden alarm appeared in his heart.

"What man!?"

Lin Lianfang suddenly pulled out the saber on his waist and put on a posture that could be attacked and defended.

"I heard that Commander Lin is talented and intelligent, although he is slow to enter the martial arts practice, but he is good at arranging formations and training troops, and he has firmly sat in the position of the commander of the Jingnan Guard Battalion before he is not confused, and he can be regarded as complacent and powerful.

However, if it can go further, the position of the squire of the military department should be just around the corner, and it depends on how the commander chooses. ”

Suddenly, a woman's voice as clear as spring water sounded faintly in the tent.

Lin Lianfang narrowed his eyes and quickly looked around.

was surprised to find that he couldn't detect the other party anyway.

The woman chuckled, and the conversation suddenly changed, full of cold and murderous flavor.

It's a pity that Commander Lin is a little ignorant of current affairs, and he turns a blind eye to the kindness released by the prince and turns a deaf ear.

If it weren't for the fact that the prince remembered your hard work and achievements, and there was still some use in training and leading the army, Commander Lin would have already turned into a cold corpse. ”

Lin Lianfang's hand holding the knife was full of green tendons, and his breathing was a little heavier.

Quietly, a graceful figure appeared in the tent.

Under the light of the candlelight, her eyes were like a secluded pool, exuding a dreamy and hazy light, which shot straight into Lin Lianfang's eyes.

"You ......" Lin Lianfang's eyes were blurred, his right hand involuntarily let go, and the long knife slipped and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

The woman sighed leisurely and stepped forward slowly, "Those who know the times are handsome, and those who change through the machine become heroes, and now there is only one way to go in front of Commander Lin, that is, to truly return to the command of Prince Yan and obey Prince Yan's dispatch."

This can be regarded as making the right choice at the right time, and it is not a problem to increase the official and become a knight in the future, and it can also avoid the terrible ending of my own tragic death and the destruction of my family. ”

The woman who appeared in the military tent spoke softly, but with a hint of undoubted coldness.

"Subordinates obey ......"

Lin Lianfang was halfway through his words, but he suddenly came to his senses and said with difficulty: "Your Excellency said such words, it doesn't seem like you are really trying to solicit me."

The woman's expression was calm, and she said slowly: "Commander Lin's previous hesitation has made the prince disliked, but now it is just a chance to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, if you are not interested, you will definitely regret it a lot."

Speaking of this, she suddenly smiled, "Of course, how Commander Lin wants to choose, the decision is still up to you, whether you submit or refuse, I will not interfere in any way." ”

Lin Lianfang was chilled all over, and his back was sweating profusely.

He wanted to call out to the soldiers standing guard outside, but he couldn't make a sound in his throat, and under the wrapping of this cold aura, the whole person seemed to have turned into a sculpture that couldn't speak.

At this moment, a breeze blew, and the candle flame on the table suddenly flickered.

The woman frowned slightly, her eyes sparkling, and a little surprise and confusion flashed.

"Looks like I'm here at the right time."

Suddenly, a gentle man's voice sounded quietly in the tent.

The woman's face changed slightly, and she turned sharply to look to the side.

But it was empty, and there was no one to be seen.

Her heart jumped suddenly, and she immediately urged her qi and blood, and her real strength surged, and her hands hidden in her sleeves formed a handprint like lightning.

"Who the hell is it, I didn't even notice who let him sneak around!"

As soon as a thought arose, her complexion changed suddenly, and there was no trace of blood in an instant.

Click!

A large hand appeared in front of her without warning, and without any hindrance, it penetrated the true strength defense and grabbed directly at her neck.

His scalp was tingling, and his heart was like gunpowder exploding.

Suffocating fear instantly took over all consciousness.

She simply didn't have time to think, and she didn't have time to think.

In a flash of light, the body has reacted instinctively.

The true strength of qi and blood in the body exploded with all its strength, and the strength of the whole body gathered in one place, driving the two arms to lift upwards like lightning.

At the same time, the five fingers of both hands pinched the air and closed a little, like two extremely sharp beaks, stabbing towards the big hand that grabbed it.

Seeing the pecking blow that shot from left to right, the eyes hidden under the hood were slightly stunned, as if there was a momentary loss of consciousness.

Judging from the reaction speed and move style alone, this peck is enough to make people sigh with emotion.

Let him involuntarily think of the incense master of the Red Lantern Society.

And on that snowy night just a few days ago, she had just appeared in the delusion of Xuan Sen, her body stiff, her expression distorted, and she was full of Senhan's murderous intent.

But he lost the most precious spiritual will like the woman in front of him.

That's a whim and a whim that only living people have.

Under the pressure of the life and death crisis, the woman shot extremely fast, and in an instant, she was already close to the front.

At the same time, the fingertips became red, and even exuded a burning and burnt smell.

"He's distracted!"

She stared at the eyes hidden under the hood, and her already desperate state of mind suddenly burst out with strong vitality and vitality at this moment.

"As long as I can stab him in the wrist, I can block his grasp, and whether I take the opportunity to attack or take the opportunity to leave, there is room to toss and turn!"

"As long as it allows me to go back to the teacher......"

Two pecks fell at the same time, and such a thought came to the woman's heart.

Click!

The hands shaped like sharp beaks of birds fell, and they really pecked at the target accurately.

The woman's heart was suddenly happy, but she was disturbed by the sudden sharp pain.

She snorted, and a few fingers flipped unnaturally into an acute angle, apparently broken by force.

The result was only two holes in the sleeves of the opponent's shirt, and not even the oily skin in it was scratched a bit.

She stumbled, and before she could back away, she was caught in the neck, losing all ability to resist.

"You, who are you?" Because of the severe pain and suffocation, the woman's otherwise beautiful face was a little distorted.

"You're too weak, with an airy and sensitive reaction and smart moves, but in the end it's just a useless show."

Wei Tao let out a low sigh and turned his head to look at Lin Lianfang, who was already sluggish, "Commander Lin just shrank in the tent and hesitated, but he didn't know that his deputy general had already secretly communicated with the other side, so he waited for everything to settle and then came to take over this big battalion." ”

"Sir is a person sent by Prince Cheng!?"

Lin Lianfang came back to his senses, and he didn't even bother to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, so he immediately hugged his fists and gave a deep salute, "Xiaguan Lin Lianfang, thank you Mr. for saving your life." ”

"I don't know if the prince is okay now, Xia Guan has not received his old man's handwritten order in recent days, so he doesn't dare to act rashly, so as not to be caught by others."

"Commander Lin doesn't need to be polite." Wei Tao thought about it for a while, directly broke the neck of the woman in his hand, and threw the body on the carpet in the tent.

Lin Lianfang took the opportunity to get up and secretly glanced at the man in front of him.

In his feeling, this is completely like a weak scholar, let alone killing, I'm afraid he hasn't even killed a chicken.

However, this person just grabbed it with a simple grasp and took down the strange and mysterious woman in uniform, which really fulfilled the old saying that people can't look good.

Wei Tao slowly walked to the side of the military tent, looked at the armor hanging there, and slowly asked, "Does Commander Lin know the residence of the deputy general of the Wei camp?" ”

"I know, Vice General Ruan's place of residence is not far away, in the small town near the Wei camp."

Lin Lianfang was talking to himself, and suddenly the candle flame flashed again.

The long figure disappeared from the tent.

disappeared along with it, as well as the official armor he wore every day.

"This ......"

Lin Lianfang looked left and right, but he didn't find out when that person left, leaving only a corpse on the ground that had begun to become cold, and he was still lying on the ground silently.

The residence of the deputy general of the guard battalion.

The living room was brightly lit and full of laughter.

Although Ruan Jianghua, as a deputy general, can be regarded as a well-known figure in the entire Jingnan Wei Camp, only under the commander Lin Lianfang, but at this moment, in his own banquet room, he can only accompany the last seat, and he does not even have a decent position.

However, Ruan Jianghua was full of smiles, and he didn't see any dissatisfaction at all, and some only had a flattering expression.

On the main table in the middle of the banquet room, a tall middle-aged man and a graceful woman in palace clothes raised their glasses from time to time and gestured with their chins bowed.

To the left of the main table, a man in a Taoist robe sits.

This person has a high crown robe and fairy bones, and under the reflection of the Taoist candlelight, he looks like a fairy among the gods.

On the right is a thin old man who came here in a carriage, and a white-clothed swordsman who never left his sword.

In addition to this, there are several young girls dancing in the open space in the middle.

They are fat and thin, each with their own merits, and the only thing they have in common is beauty, which makes men salivate when they see it.

"Old Su, your disciple has been gone for a quarter of an hour, it's almost time to come back."

After drinking a glass of wine, Prince Yan turned his head slightly and looked at the thin old man on his right.

The old man wrinkled and smiled, "My apprentice has always done things properly, and he is good at hiding his body, there will never be a mistake, just wait quietly for a while." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at the Dao-robed man opposite, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the realm of the Xuyin Palace's main cultivation has improved significantly, which is really gratifying, drink this cup full." ”

The man in the Taoist robe raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes as pure as a secluded pool, and a faint smile appeared when he heard the words, "It's just a little bit of entry, it's not as good as staying by the prince's side to cultivate, and there are not so many miscellaneous things to worry about." ”

Su Lao put down his wine glass, and his cloudy eyes flashed with a little reminiscence, "The old man still remembers that back then, the master of the Xuyin Hall was single-handed, chasing and killing countless people for thousands of miles in the Southern Xinjiang Nine Evils, and he never thought that decades had passed in a flash. ”

After a pause, he sighed in a low voice, "Now that the Northern Desolation White Disaster has reappeared, it can be called the most terrifying time in Banjiazi, but I am afraid that the alien race will go south again and invade my great rivers and mountains."

It's a pity that the saint is seriously ill today, and he is afraid that he will die soon, but he is taken hostage by traitors, and he doesn't know what kind of chaos he wants to cause. ”

Xuyin lowered his eyes, blocking the fleeting sparkle in his eyes.

After a moment, he raised the wine cup, "With Prince Yan and other pillars of the country, we should be able to keep our homeland worry-free." ”

Su Lao shook his head, "Now that this dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, to name a few, the prince is bent on making great efforts, but he has been constrained by all kinds of constraints, and even has many worries about his life.

Therefore, it is necessary to deal with the thieves who are confusing the Beijing Division as quickly as possible, and then we can concentrate on freeing up our hands to deal with the upcoming external invasion of the army. ”

Xuyin drank another glass of wine, but still didn't say a word.

At this moment, Prince Yan, who was on the main seat, said slowly, "Since the founding of Taizu in this dynasty, although the sect has been established and Xuanwu is respected, since the death of the first Dao master of Xuanwu Dao, His Majesty Taizong has never issued an order, and the position of the Great Zhou National Teacher has been vacant for several Jiazi......

Xuyin's hand suddenly paused, and then changed direction, from the green vegetables he originally wanted to eat to a piece of venison.

Prince Yan sighed, and then said, "I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I think that this dynasty still has to follow the law set by Taizu, and then determine the position of the Great Zhou National Teacher, and once again lead the entire sect.

In my eyes, Qi Dao's major is a high realm, and if he is the second national teacher of this dynasty, he deserves his name. ”

Speaking of this, Prince Yan slowed down his speech and said meaningfully, "The Xuyin Dao Master is the master of the Xuanwu Palace, and he is also the most trusted person of the Qi Dao Lord, so after the Qi Dao Lord, the third national teacher of this dynasty is estimated to be none other than the Xuyin Hall Lord." ”

Xuyin calmed down and bowed upward, "The prince's words are wrong, the Taoist master is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, as long as I can serve the Taoist master for a long time, I am already very satisfied, and I have no other ideas." ”

Prince Yan smiled slightly, "I know what the Lord of the Xuyin Palace means, but the Dao Master, the old man, likes to be quiet and does not like to move, and he is bent on seeking the realm of martial arts, I am afraid that he will be even more disgusted and tired of all kinds of mundane chores."

Therefore, if this king can really establish the Great Zhou National Teacher again, at that time, Mr. will be the master of the Xuanwu Palace, and the little junior disciple of the Qi Dao Lord who is trusted in the mountain gate, and the burden on his shoulders will probably become much heavier. ”

Xuyin was silent for a long time, and picked up the wine cup that had just been filled, "What does the prince mean, I will talk to the Taoist master in detail when I go back." ”

"Then the king will thank the Lord of the Void Yin Hall first."

Prince Yan laughed, "Come, let's have another drink." ”

Xuyin brought the wine cup to his mouth, but without warning, he didn't move.

Almost at the same time, the old man at the opposite table slowly turned his head and looked out of the door of the banquet hall.

Boom!

At this moment, the sound of swallowing came from outside the door.

There was even the crisp sound of teeth grinding bone rods, as if a fierce beast was sucking blood and grinding its teeth in the long corridor outside the hall.

Deputy General Ruan, who had been pouring wine and vegetables lightly, and acting as a servant, suddenly shook his head, bowed his back and said with a smile, "The prince forgives the sin, the little one will go and see what kind of thing that is not long-sighted to eat outside, and dare to disturb the interest of the prince." ”

Prince Yan's brows furrowed, and he nodded slightly.

Under the unfettering gaze of Su Lao, Xuyin and others, Vice General Ruan walked quickly to the door of the banquet hall.

With his back to the big men inside, his face was already full of anger, and he squeaked open the closed door.

It was pitch black outside, except for the lanterns on the eaves of the corridor, illuminating the surrounding ground.

"If you want me to know which idiot took the opportunity to steal the food, Lao Tzu will peel his skin and bone, fry him in an oil pan and stew it, and then steam it after stewing!"

Vice General Ruan was ruthless in his heart and stepped out of the door.

The next moment, there was another soft squeak.

The door of the banquet hall closed quietly without wind.

Xuyin put down the wine cup in his hand, looked out with no joy or sorrow, and a faint curiosity.

Su Lao's face turned cold, and a cold light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

The white-clothed swordsman had already grasped the hilt of his sword.

Click!

At this moment, there was another crisp sound.

In the banquet room, which suddenly became silent, the sound of swallowing was very obvious.

It was as if there was really a fierce beast hidden in the darkness, chewing and devouring Vice General Ruan, who had just stepped out of the door.
