Today's dinner in Princess Cangyang's mansion is inevitably very lively, because of the two guests, Lin Cangyang asked the kitchen to cook a few more good dishes, and took a jar of good wine from Yugong to the table, specially for Xu Huaigu and Li Zi to drink.

Originally, he was going to talk about business, but Xu Huaigu was really inconvenient to drink, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to drink two bowls a little before he could be regarded as receiving Lin Cangyang's love, otherwise he would inevitably lose face.

The former national teacher Ling Li in Lin Cangyang's mouth was also invited to the princess's mansion to participate in this dinner. After Ling Li entered the table, Xu Huaigu took a closer look at him.

This is an old man with gray hair and a thin body, but from his speech and demeanor, he can see a rare sense of sharpness, which is somewhat similar to Yang Yun, with an old and strong backbone, which makes Xu Huaigu think a little higher about him.

During the banquet, Lin Cangyang mentioned that he wanted Ling Li to help introduce the two of them to Lu Zijin. After Ling Li heard the idea of the two, he couldn't help but be amazed, and agreed to it.

Xu Huaigu got up and thanked him, and Ling Li also returned the salute, and said that it was an honor for Dayu to have a monk like the two of them who was willing to take the initiative to go to the battlefield to kill demons, and it was worthy of respect.

While chatting, they talked about the fact that Qingling's formation was broken a few days ago. Speaking of this, I can't help but mention the first battle after the formation was broken, Yang Yun, who was sitting in Qingling, fought against Bingfeng, one of the six phoenixes of the demon clan.

Xu Huaigu also wanted to know what the final result of this battle was, but he came to Xingqing for a few days, and the news was blocked, and he didn't know where to start.

Although Ling Li has retired from the position of the national division of Dayu State, he is inextricably linked with the border army, so he knows the outcome of this battle.

Xu Huaigu was anxious in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Please tell me Mr. Ling, what is the result?" Ling Li frowned, sighed, and slowly spoke: "Speaking of which, this battle is really tragic. I didn't see the specific process with my own eyes, so I didn't dare to talk nonsense, but I learned the result from Lu Zijin's mouth. In the end, Yang Yun lost, and was beheaded by the demon phoenix, and his body was gone, and his body was gone. Xu Huaigu was stunned.

Although this is the result he has long expected in his heart, it is still difficult to accept it when he hears it now.

Li Zi also lowered his head, silent and did not speak, and the atmosphere in the banquet was a little depressing. But Ling Li said again: "But this is not the end, although Yang Yun died, that ice phoenix also suffered a big loss." It is said that in the middle of the fight, one of the wings was cut off by Yang Yunsheng with a sword, and it landed on the river in Qingling, dripping with blood. She was also seriously injured, and fled back to the demon domain in embarrassment, I am afraid that she will only have one wing from now on. Hearing this, Xu Huaigu's heart trembled again.

Thinking of the dexterous appearance of the ice phoenix, it can be regarded as a unique creation in heaven and earth, and now that she has broken a wing, she is afraid that it is more uncomfortable than death.

In this battle, Yang Yun of the Ten Realms paid for his life, and the Ice Phoenix of the Eleventh Realm lost a wing, which is indeed as Ling Li said, worthy of the word tragic.

It's just that this is only the prelude to the war, and when the armies of the two clans meet each other in the future, the battle situation will only be more heart-wrenching.

Xu Huaigu was in a heavy mood, in all fairness, Yang Yun and Bingfeng were right, war was the biggest mistake.

If so, why do you have to start this war? What the demon clan is looking for is just a place to live, there are large barren mountains and mountains in the middle region that can give them a place to live, and Mo Long's attitude is not unpalatable, maybe the two clans don't have to quarrel to the point of life and death.

It would be best if we could all live in peace with each other. But this is just Xu Huaigu's wishful thinking, he is a sword cultivator of the Eight Realms, and he is soft-spoken, and he can't say a word on this kind of issue related to the situation in the world.

Now he can only do his best to avoid the death of as many people as possible, which is also his original intention of wanting to go to the battlefield.

Lin Cangyang saw Xu Huaigu's sad expression, and only said that he was sad for Yang Yun, so he persuaded him with good words: "Yang Jianxian is sitting in Qingling, what he does is to kill demons and protect the peace of the world. Now, with the cultivation of a lower realm, he has cut off the wings of the ice phoenix, which can be regarded as a worthy mission, showing the spirit of my human race. At least in this battle, our Terrans definitely did not fall behind, but gave them a dismount. The next war is the main event, and we still have to sort out our emotions and deal with them well. Xu Huaigu nodded heavily.

Lin Cangyang felt that the time was almost ripe, so he glanced at Ling Li. Ling Li nodded at her slightly, and Lin Cangyang took the opportunity to say: "Speaking of which, the various local sects in Dongfu Shaozhou have also put aside their past grievances and are ready to face this catastrophe together. Each sect has sent proud disciples over one after another, ready to let them go to the battlefield to hone their skills. One is to kill demons, and the other is to exercise their minds, and these days they have almost arrived in Xingqing City one after another. Three days later, I will be the abbot of the feast to discuss how to distribute the people to the battlefield and how to ensure the safety of the monks. Originally, this banquet could only invite the disciples of the sect, but since the two of you are also willing to go to the battlefield, I think everyone wants to do their part for the human race, so there is no need to say that the sect is not a sect. Here, as the eldest princess of Dayu Kingdom, I invite you to participate in this banquet, what do you think? Reading the book, Xu Huaigu pondered for a moment, and then whispered a few words to Li Zi, and then replied: "Since there is this good opportunity, then it is the princess's will, and we will come on time." Lin Cangyang smiled, and hurriedly poured wine for Xu Huaigu and Li Zi in person, and said, "I didn't expect you to promise so simply, you are really heroic." Then I will give you an invitation according to their example, and you must show your face when the time comes. Ling'er, bring me a pen and paper after the banquet. Ling'er, who had been standing beside her, respectfully complied, and left the table, preparing paper and pen.

Xu Huaigu asked again: "Speaking of which, what are the various sects of the Great Yu Kingdom that were invited to the banquet?" ”

"That's a lot to say. The three first-class sects, the Fuyao Sect, the Zixia Sect, and the Xingyue Sect, were all invited; There are more than a dozen second-rate sects, such as Qingfeng Valley, Plum Blossom Sect, and Water Mirror Sect, and each sect also has three or four people; There are even more third-rate sects and below. In short, if you count them all, there must be more than 100 people, all of whom are sent by various sects, and can be sent to the battlefield by us for the time being. ”

"It's all young juniors, are there any elders coming?"

"No, that's where the trick comes in. This time you went to the battlefield to kill demons, and it was not as good as your last Dao meeting in Zixia Sect, and there were elders who specially guarded you to ensure your safety. Each of them depends on his own life, and then his companions help each other. After entering the barracks, even if the realm is high, you have to obey the orders of the generals above, and the dispatch must be in accordance with the military orders. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of the usual monk's temper. Xu Huaigu listened carefully and nodded.

Ling Li stroked his beard, looked at Xu Huaigu, and said, "Although you monks also experience fighting on weekdays, it is not a battlefield after all, and at most a few people will die. After going to the battlefield, I saw hundreds of thousands of people who said that they would die, and naturally their tempers were smoothed out, and they didn't care about life and death. The four people at the table continued to chat for a few words, until the banquet was dispersed, Lin Cangyang went to the room to write an invitation to them, and after giving it to the two, Xu Huaigu and Li Zi left Cangyang Mansion and returned to their inn.

At this time, it was late at night, and it was curfew time on the street, and the two hurried all the way back to the inn, needless to say.

…… In the early morning of the next day, Xu Huaigu got up early, saying that he was going to visit an old man back then, so he said goodbye to Li Zi and went to the street alone.

Li Zi was idle and bored, and he didn't know anyone in Xingqing City, so he stayed in the inn, drew talismans with peace of mind, and prepared to use them on the battlefield when the time came.

Xu Huaigu went out of the inn this time, originally wanted to visit Pingcui, but when she thought of her mother's eyes last time, she felt a little embarrassed to go alone, so she simply delayed it a little longer, and next time she was ready to meet and bring Li Zi over.

So he changed direction and walked to Yi Yun's home in Xingqing City, Yi Mansion. It is said that after Huang Shan and Yi Yun left them and went to Middle-earth to find the method of nourishing the soul, they never contacted each other again.

After eight or nine years, Xu Huaigu didn't know if Huang Shan and the others had found a way, nor did they know if they had returned to Xingqing.

In short, take a look at Yifu, and everything will be revealed. The road is still familiar, Xu Huaigu's memory has always been the best, he turned around in this big labyrinth-like Xingqing City, and soon found Yifu.

Although this Yi Mansion can also be called a mansion with a single courtyard, it is naturally incomparable with Cangyang Mansion, the door is deserted, and there are not many people passing by.

Xu Huaigu walked up the steps, lifted the knocker on the door and took a look, the knocker was still clean, there was no dust, and there were still people living in this mansion.

He knocked at the door, but there was no answer. Xu Huaigu increased his strength and knocked again, and after a long time, the sound of footsteps came.

The door was suddenly opened, and Xu Huaigu thought that he would meet the housekeeper of Yifu, but who knew that there was a sloppy man standing inside.

The man was about thirty years old, his clothes were dirty, his hair was clumped, and he was casually thrown behind his head, and his expression looked impatient.

This person is something Xu Huaigu has never seen, and although the Yi family has declined, it has also been brilliant in the past, how can he raise such a raunchy person?

Xu Huaigu looked at the man inside the door in confusion, and the sloppy man looked at Xu Huaigu impatiently, and asked angrily, "Who are you?" Xu Huaigu replied calmly: "My name is Xu Huaigu, I am a friend of the owner of this house, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I came to visit today." Is the owner of the Yi family at home? When the sloppy man heard this, he was not interested, shook his head, and said casually: "Master of the Yi family? You mean the madman who lives in the main house, right? He's here, he's a madman, and he can't go out of the house, where can he be if he's not at home? If you want to visit him, you can go, it has nothing to do with me, whatever you want. After that, the man seemed to have an itch in his nose, and he sneezed in front of Xu Huaigu, raised his hand and blew out a large handful of snot, wiped it on the corner of his clothes at will, didn't even close the door, turned his head and strode away.

Xu Huaigu stood in place, his face grim. Fortunately, he was wearing a magic robe, so he didn't get dirty, otherwise he would have wanted to draw his sword just now.

He stood in place for a moment, and he didn't know what the identity of the man was, but from his words, he could know that Yi Xingping, the master of Yifu, was still alive, but he was still in a state of madness, so Huang Shan and Yi Yun must not have come back yet.

It's just that he's such a sloppy middle-aged man, why does he live in Yifu? And listening to his tone, he has no respect for Yi Xingping at all, which is really weird.

Xu Huaigu thought about it a few times, but decided to go into the mansion to have a look. If there is nothing to do, naturally everyone is fine, if there is something unpleasant, before Huang Shan and Yi Yun come back, they will have to rely on him Xu Huaigu to settle it.
