"Uncle Jing Xiaoyou, come, sit."

Listening to the cloud building, Ning He was led to the backyard and met with Baili Xuanzhen.

The latter did not invite Ning He in the restaurant, nor did he find anyone to accompany him, but only invited Ning He alone in the courtyard where he lived.

But the scene is not cold.

A big food table is placed in the middle, the guests and hosts sit side by side, the courtyard invites the dancer musician, plays music and dances, and there are maids pouring wine during the banquet, and the pomp is not small.

During the banquet, Baili Xuanzhen said bluntly: "I make a friend of Xiaoyou, one respects your courage and martial arts, and the other likes you to be happy and neat, you and I intersect, you don't have to think about anything else, just want to be free and tidy." ”

He is a Jianghu man, although he is a minister of King Yong's mansion, he doesn't like to calculate in the court and temple, conspiracies and calculations, he only likes to come and go happily, indulging in enmity.

But a lot of times he can't do it, and he can't just do what he likes.

What Ning He showed last night, whether it was confidence or courage, made him like it very much, and the appearance of daring and lonely made him vaguely see some shadows of himself in the past.

The invitation is sincere and tempting.

If Ning He intends to perform one or two in this Yonghe City, then he will get a brave general for the palace.

But Ning He categorically refused, but it was also his sincere hope.

Hoping that what you can't do, someone may be able to do it.

If you enter the high gate, there are too many things that you can't help yourself, and you will eventually lose that arbitrariness.

Today's banquet has no other meaning, just to find someone similar to yourself, chat freely, and look back at the past free and easy.

Ning He is also interested, or rather, what suits his heart is just chatting with him, or interesting stories about the mountains and fields, or anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, or talking about martial arts, regardless of anything else.

As far as the excitement came, the two of them also had a sword dance, not for comparison, but just a frenzy after drinking.

A banquet until the end of the day, it can be said that the guests and hosts are happy, Ning He directly drank into a drunken cat, and swayed towards the pastor grass.

Xu was ruthless last night, and tonight there was a rare person who came to trouble Mu Bai.

Ning He stayed drunk and stayed in the grass house for one night, without wind and waves.

At dawn the next day, a team of seven or eight people, covered in blood, rushed into Yonghe City in embarrassment, and then a piece of news quickly spread in the city.

Emperor Li sent a team to send gifts to celebrate his birthday in Jingtian County was robbed, more than 300 Li Xiaoguo was killed in battle, more than a dozen ceremonial officials were killed, and only a few people escaped and rushed to Yonghe to report the news.

King Yong was furious and directly sent 3,000 palace guards, and at the same time sent a message to Jingzhong to hold the local accountable.

"It's coming!" Under the old tree, after getting a letter from Gao Xiaogao, Mu Bai put down the porridge bowl in his hand and looked at Ning He.

Ning He took a bite of the porridge in the bowl, pulled it into a sink, and said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, follow me back to Ying'an." ”

Cheng Chen looked at the two of them wondering, not knowing if the princess's birthday gift was robbed, or in Jingtian County, what did it have to do with them.

Mu Bai said: "I'm just making a little trouble here, it's just a battle of face and spirit, which is a prefix." If you think about the proverb of the past few days, and then look at this matter, this is the introduction! Yonghe, it's going to be messy. ”

The Yonghe in his words does not only refer to Yonghe City, but the entire Yonghe Mansion.

"Mr. should go to the palace early, otherwise it is better to go back to Ying'an with me to avoid this time." Ning He said solemnly.

Whether it's a prefix or an introduction, it starts with Yonghe, and it starts with Mu Bai, it is difficult for him to be good at it.

Mu Bai shook his head, "It's okay to avoid it for a while, it's hard to hide for a lifetime, and I don't want to hide either." Go ahead, Jing'an and Jingtian are connected to each other, and as soon as this matter comes out, they will bear the brunt. As for me, I have been preparing for the Cultural Association for more than a month, and I can make a name for myself in one fell swoop, so how can I leave? We'll see you in a little while. ”

Cheng Chen hurriedly said: "What can be important to have a life, how can Mr. be so stubborn!" ”

Mu Bai patted his chest with a smile, "The name of the literati and the sword of the warrior are not their own lives." Only when the name is big enough and the sword is sharp enough, can someone listen to what is said seriously, which is naturally important. ”

Ning He took out the booklet from his arms and handed it to Mu Bai, "Yesterday, I exchanged Pingchuan with the owner of Baili Building, it should be more suitable for Mr. I also have a trick to become a sword style, and my husband will also write it down. ”

Saying that, Ning He reflexively found a pen and paper and wrote down the sword moves he had learned.

This sword is not suitable for common use, it is the result of his summary after using that sword the night before, it can mobilize the internal force of the whole body to condense and send out, and the damage to the meridians and acupoints is not small, and it is easy to fall into the deficit, which is a means of fighting for life.

After writing this, Liu Quan also came in a hurry, but it was sent by Xue Kui to find Ning He and return to Jing'an County, and no one could attend this birthday banquet.

Ning He said something to Mu Bai again, and said goodbye to Mu Bai with Cheng Chen.

The two of them walked on the front foot, and Lao Ke walked slowly with a horse whip on the back foot, stood behind Mu Bai and looked at what Ning He wrote, and directly reached out and grabbed it.

"It's useless for you to write it for me."

Lao Ke is only in the river car realm, but his internal strength is strong, and it will not be inferior to the Daoyan realm, but his meridians have been seriously damaged, and those internal forces are also used to maintain his meridians.

"Okay." Mu Bai sighed.

He knew about it, and so did Ning He.

He's never mentioned a sword, so he'll learn it for a while.

So this is indeed for Old Keliu.

"This kid's martial arts comprehension is indeed excellent." Lao Ke praised after reading it.

He has two obsessions.

One is to protect Mubai once, and pay back a life owed to him and many people.

The second is to take a look at Dao Yan and even the scenery to the next level, even if it is just for a moment.

With the internal force in his body, and with Ning He's sword move, he felt that these two obsessions should be able to be completed.

……

"Baili senior, also go to Jingtian?"

When he returned to the Quadrangle to meet, packed his luggage, and then walked out of Yonghe City, Ning He met Baili Xuanzhen and went over to say hello.

Baili Xuanzhen nodded, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of anger.

But he still stopped the horse and whispered to Ning He: "You'd better not go back to Ying'an now, so as not to get fishy." ”

Ying'an was too close to Jingtian County, and he got the exact news that the location of the attack was in Jingtian County, which would enter Ying'an and transfer to Jing'an County.

If he goes back and can't find out what is going on, then he will definitely be responsible, and he will inevitably eat melons.

Ning He glanced at the group of people behind him, and shook his head with a wry smile, "It's not okay if you don't go back." ”

Baili Xuanzhen patted him on the shoulder, "Then go slower, it's okay." ”

After speaking, he said goodbye to Ning He, took Tingyunlou and the others, and left quickly.

At this moment, there was another horse team coming from behind, but it was Xiao Qingyuan with dozens of light horses.

The two said hello from afar, and Xiao Qingyuan also left quickly, which really seemed that their line of work was not so urgent.

Ning He turned back to the horse's head, came to Xue Kui's side, and arched his hand: "Lord Changshi, the lower officials are concerned about Ying'an, and if you want to take the first step, please ask for your permission." ”

Xue Kui hesitated, but still nodded, Ning He left Liu Quan and other township guards to accompany him, and then left the team with Cheng Chen.

……

At night, at the mouth of Lotus Lane.

A very burly old man came to the old tree with seven or eight people.

His name is Shu Xue, a very feminine name.

It's just that there is no one like his name, not only does he look five big and three thick, but his temperament is also quite hot.

He, like Qi Feng, is a guest of the Pei family.

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, wind, frost, rain and snow, outsiders think it is eight people, but in fact there are only four people, and their names account for one word.

He was not in Yonghe the night before, he was sent by Pei Shijia to Yongyuan City, and after Qi Feng's death, he received an urgent letter to transfer back, and he just arrived in Yonghe City before sunset.

After only a short rest, he was ready to kill Mu Bai and avenge Qi Feng.

Of course, it is also to vent the anger of the main family.

The Pei family treats Mu Bai not as an enemy, but more out of protecting their own face.

If the inferior person is not punished, more people will do the same thing, and they will not feel the tolerance of the superior person.

The case of closing the position seems to be over, but it is also the beginning.

If even one Mu Bai can't clean it up, no matter what the reason is, and what other layouts there are, it is just incompetent in his opinion, and it will be in the eyes of many people.

No matter how much the Pei family behaves in line with the wishes, they can't be looked around by some insects because of such trivial matters, or they will die, but they are too responsive.

So, Mu Bai must die!

And Shu Xue's style of acting does reveal his thoughts, decisive enough, no nonsense at all, a tiger-headed broadsword, stirring up his strength, and directly slashing at the grass house.

Gao Xiaogao, the three masters of Tingyunlou who were left behind, hurriedly went to block it, but they were repelled more than ten steps, blood overflowed from their mouths, and all their internal organs were injured.

At this time, Lao Ke walked out of the grass house slowly, but he was one step and three feet away, and quickly approached Shu Xue.

With a snap, the whip snapped in mid-air, and then shattered into the sky.

The whip rod was full of vigor and quickly solidified, as if it were opening for this ordinary thing, and it was like making gold and iron.

Then a sword stabbed out, suddenly shining brightly, and a sword qi, accompanied by Lao Ke's seemingly instantaneous sweep, was sent to Shu Xue's heart.

At the same time, Lao Ke's voice also echoed in the air:

"This style is named, worship the stars!"

The sword was handed out, and he did vaguely see the scene behind the door, but it was destined to be only a moment, like a meteor, and the brilliance meant withering.

Shu Xue's big eyes were round, and it was too late to block and dodge, so she had to gather her heart with a true yuan and cast layers of barriers.

There seemed to be a thumping sound of energy hitting and shattering, and the whip rod pierced into Shu Xue's heart.

But there was no joy and smugness on Lao Ke's face, because this thorn, only half an inch, was blocked, and it was difficult to advance a single inch.

And he was already powerless, and there were bursts of pain in his body, and he felt a sense of brokenness.

Shu Xue's face was hideous, and on her forehead and neck, the green tendons were bursting up, and she was obviously uncomfortable.

Immediately, the strength shook, the whip rod was crushed, and he raised his hand and slashed down on Lao Ke's neck.
