Along the stairs, the two quickly walked to the door of the private room, where Shen Yilin waited there early and greeted the two of them.

"Brother Xiao, is your injury better now? The Borderless Pavilion was really sorry before, and Aunt Mei had been transferred back to the Shen family by me to reflect. Shen Yilin looked at Xiao Chen, and was relieved to see that the other party's breath was not weak.

"I'm much better, Miss Shen is more worried." Xiaochen responded calmly.

Shen Yilin's private room has a good view, looking at the stage outside, the skirt streamers driven by the dancer are dancing, and even the ribbon gold edge flying down the sleeves can be seen clearly.

"Maybe her guards are hiding in the shadows..."Xiao Chen looked at the environment in the private room, and thought about it when he saw that there was no one else.

"You're here just in time, this girl is bored by herself!" Shen Yilin sat in the first seat generously and picked up the wine jug with a smile.

"This is Shaozhou's old rice wine, it's very fragrant, I'll punish myself with three glasses first, hahaha!"

As she spoke, she picked up the wine jug, filled the wine bowl in front of her, and placed it in front of several people, then picked up the wine bowl and drank three glasses herself.

Suddenly, her little face flushed a little, but her complexion quickly recovered.

"Miss Shen is polite." Xiaochen also picked up a bowl of rice wine, the aroma of this wine is really strong, with a hint of sweet honey, it smells like it is made of nectar.

"It's done!"

Shen Yilin took the wine bowl again, and after touching the bowl with Xiao Chen, he drank it again.

Xiaochen also smiled when he saw this, and drank it slowly, the wine was warm in the mouth, and there was a hint of sweetness after passing through the throat, until it entered the heart, and the wine surged up.

Such a wine is indeed easy to get drunk without knowing it.

Ling'er drank half of it, and then she didn't continue, her face was red, and she knew at a glance that she was the kind of person who couldn't drink.

Shen Yilin glanced at Ling'er, didn't care, poured the wine again, and said to Xiao Chen: "Brother Xiao, you and I are doing it at first sight!" ”

She picked up the wine bowl and looked at Xiao Chen, who was a little hesitant, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao's amount of wine won't work!" ”

Xiao Chen smiled dumbly after hearing this, picked up the wine bowl and touched it, his eyes were attracted by the dancing girl on the stage just now, and he was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect to be discovered by this Shen Yilin.

"Miss Shen has a lot of alcohol, and Xiao has an average amount of alcohol!"

After drinking it again, Shen Yilin didn't force it anymore, poured herself another bowl, picked up the wine bowl and asked freely, "How is the light outside?" ”

"Prosperous!" Xiaochen looked at the bright lights of the outside world and the beautiful scenery of the Red Mansion, nodded and said.

"Brother Xiao, do you know who is fighting for this prosperity?" Shen Yilin also looked at the lights outside, and then asked.

After hearing this, Xiao Chen pondered for a moment: "The secular lord is divided into four major countries, and the unbounded domain should belong to the boundary of the Yan country's power, but in fact, most of the flags erected here say Suijia, and the city lord's mansion still has the Yan country flag fluttering, not to mention the Yan country's finances, more often it is also the local self-care, and the Yan country capital division has to pay for worship every year..."

After pondering for a long time, Xiaochen glanced at Shen Yilin and said, "Yanguo soldiers." ”

Shen Yilin shook his head with a smile and said: "Brother Xiao, you are wrong, the peace here depends on the Sui family, the Yan Kingdom is too busy to take care of itself in the face of the Donghuang Pass in the east, how can you pay attention to the southern towns, in addition to nominally belonging to the Yan Foreign Kingdom, it has long been infiltrated by the Sui family." ”

Xiao Chen was not surprised after hearing this, it has always been the four major countries that have resisted the invasion of foreign races, and the struggle between the party systems in each country is continuous, since the unbounded abyss city of this Sui family is still standing up with the banner of Yan Country, he is naturally talking about Yan Country.

Smiling and shaking his head, Xiaochen didn't say much.

At this time, the corners of her mouth turned up and she smiled sarcastically: "Now the lights are bright here, and the front line was still fighting yesterday." ”

"How many soldiers buried their bones in other places, and they couldn't even bring their bones back to their hometowns, only the bloody nameplate proved that he once existed..."

Shen Yilin seemed to be quite emotional, and said this with a sad face.

Xiaochen put down the wine bowl, poured another glass, and said quite freely: "Some things are like this, you might as well think about it differently, it is the stability of the rear that can continuously ration the front-line supplies, isn't it?" The tax revenue of this Oiran meeting alone is enough for the annual expenses of how many troops at the front? ”

"I think Miss Shen is too worried, the soldiers on the front line are also fighting to the death for the hometown behind them, the hometown is prosperous, the family life is healthy, and they must be comforted in their hearts."

She was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said with a wry smile: "I can't say you, don't say it, don't say it... Keep drinking! ”

Xiaochen lifted the wine bowl and clinked glasses again.

"I hit it off at first sight, I wonder if I'm interested in joining the Yan Kingdom together? Kuang Fu Sheji! The corners of Shen Yilin's mouth opened slightly, a trace of shrewdness flashed through her eyes, and she pretended to speak casually.

"Miss Shen's words are serious, she is just a scattered person in the next place, coming in the red dust, going in the red dust, busy all day long, I'm afraid I don't have the time and energy." Xiaochen took a sip of rice wine and said truthfully.

"It's a pity, Brother Xiao didn't ask me what treatment I could give? Just refuse, in a hurry. Shen Yilin said with a smile, she was not surprised by Xiaochen's answer, she was just a simple test just now.

Xiao Chen didn't care about the treatment, on the contrary, he looked at Shen Yilin and thought about something.

"Glory returns to his hometown~"

The dancers on the stage spread out their dresses and danced to celebrate their victory, and the singers in front of the stage sang the praises of the great achievements of the soldiers on the expedition, whether they were mortals or monks, they were equally important in the Yan Kingdom.

There are war groups composed of monks, and there are wars under the command of mortal generals, for the Yan country, the monks are just stronger people, and those monks who are loyal to the Yan country also think that they can also sacrifice everything for the Yan country.

"From now on, the wind will no longer invade the Eastern Emperor Pass!"

"From now on, the wind and rain in the land of Guannai have been smooth..."

Listening to the music and watching the performance, Xiaochen retracted his thoughts and said, "If you don't have that mind, Miss Shen won't tempt me." ”

Shen Yilin couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and then just drank the wine and didn't speak again.

Ling'er looked at the two of them in confusion, not understanding what dumb riddles the two of them were playing, picked up a moist grape, stuffed it into her mouth, and the sweet juice burst in her mouth, and she immediately felt extremely satisfied.

"I heard that Brother Xiao is from the 32 regions of the Middle Continent, and the territory under the rule of the righteous path is compared to the Yan Country, how is it?" Shen Yilin changed the topic and continued.

Xiao Chen was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then spoke: "Under the governance of the righteous path, although there is no major trouble in the villages and towns, bandits are rampant, and thieves are rampant, and it is difficult to compare with Yanguo. ”

"Hahaha! Brother Xiao has something to say, it's nothing more than that the quality of the monks in the empire is not as high as the 32 domains of the righteous path, the big demons and demons in the territory are rampant, and the border is not peaceful all day long! Shen Yilin took a sip of wine and said with a laugh.

In the 32 domains of the Middle Continent, although the strength of the sect is strong, the life of ordinary people is not as good as that of Yan Guo.

Most of the monks above the god are cultivated in the cave mansion and rarely interfere with the world, and the disciples of the sect are also dependent on the sect, and the Jiangshan Sheji is even more laissez-faire, which also makes the family power entrenched like a behemoth in the 32 domains of Zhongzhou, and under the dispersion of power, there is room for bandits from all walks of life to survive.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen said meaningfully: "Miss Shen's words are serious, and the people in the Yan Kingdom can be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment. ”

"Living and working in peace? If only this had been the case sixteen years ago..."Shen Yilin muttered, looking at the dancing girl flying in the room on the stage with some distraction, and then said, "It's hateful to think about it!" 16 years ago, the stone statue of the divine dragon guarding the Water Sky City of the Yan Kingdom was stolen, and since then, there have been mistakes in the Great Array of the Yan Country Protector..."

"That's what gives those demons a chance to take advantage of! It's hateful! Speaking of this, she was also resentful.

"Just after the battle of Shuitian City, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded, and they were able to hold the Shuitian Pass!"

"Not to mention the Battle of the Eastern Emperor Pass that has lasted for more than ten years, those demons just seized the big array and made a mistake before attacking desperately."

After hearing this, Ling'er also asked eagerly: "Then this divine dragon statue is so important, is there no clue after it was stolen?" ”

Xiao Chen's action of holding the wine bowl after hearing this was stagnant, and the thoughts in his eyes flowed, this Shenlong stone carved statue, he had heard the news in his previous life, and this was also the reason why he chose to come over after seeing Shen Yilin beckoning.

Holding the half-drunk wine bowl, Xiao Chen currently had some mixed feelings in his heart: "The Divine Dragon Statue will reappear in more than ten years, but at that time it has been completely corrupted by the demons led by the Yin Candle Dragon, and after colliding with the remaining cornerstone of the Great Array, the Eastern Emperor Great Array was completely shattered. The demons thus plagued the 13 domains of the Yan Kingdom, and this battle lasted for several years, and the corpses in the 13 domains of the Yan Kingdom were all over the field, starving all over the land, and almost thousands of miles were uninhabited. In the end, the Yan Kingdom won the victory with the support of the Twelve Sects, but it was fundamentally injured and has not slowed down for hundreds of years. ”

The tragedy of this battle was a shock to the world at the time, and he naturally participated in it personally, and this is also the reason why Xiaochen was stationed at the Donghuang Pass later.

"Shen Yilin, the Shen family, is credible in my impression, and there is no news of the Shen family's rebellion, on the contrary, the ancestor of the Shen family also turned the tide in this battle, and won against five strong enemies in the same realm by himself."

"I originally wanted to tell Ouyang Jinse the news later, so that she could owe herself a big favor, but now..."Xiao Chen thought, the plan always can't catch up with the changes, and now it is obviously better to tell the news to Shen Yilin in front of him, and the Shen family's voice in the Yan country is also higher than that of the Ouyang family.

After hearing this, Shen Yilin responded to Ling'er's words: "No, the umbrella family in charge of the city's defense that night didn't even know when the Shenlong statue was lost. ”

"The stolen dragon statue is hundreds of meters high, weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds, you must know that this stone carving can not be stored in the storage bag, and the result disappeared silently. Ay! ”

Xiao Chen glanced at Shen Yilin with a complicated face, thinking about how to speak, he only knew where the divine dragon statue appeared last.

Shen Yilin noticed Xiao Chen's eyes, lifted the wine jug and filled the wine bowl that Xiao Chen picked up in mid-air, and said, "Tonight, you and I won't get drunk!" ”

For the Shenlong stone carved statue, she just sighed tonight, and casually mentioned it, she has been lost for sixteen years, there is no clue, and she has no hope.

After thinking for a while, Xiaochen drank a sip of rice wine, wiped the corners of his mouth, calmly looked at the Baihefang stage and said, "I wonder if there is a map of Yanguo?" ”

"Maps? What do you want this for? Although Shen Yilin was strange, he still took out a map a few feet wide from the storage ring, rolled it up with his aura, and stood in front of him.

Xiao Chen looked at the map in front of him, the red line depicted in the 18 domains of the Yan Kingdom was very obvious, there were only some towns and mountains marked on the map, and of course there were a few strongholds of forces, the map was not detailed, but it should be enough.

"The stone carving statue of the divine dragon in the previous life finally appeared in Kwai Liang City, and the stone carving of the immortal crane was placed there..."

"Kwai Liang City is separated from Tianshui City by three domains, located in the hinterland of the Yan Kingdom, so there is a high probability that this divine dragon stone carving is still in the territory of the Yan Kingdom, but it is hidden, it is very likely that in the area between Kwai Liang City and Tianshui City, there are such huge stone carvings hidden among the forces along the road and secretly transported..."

Xiao Chen's finger pointed at three of these forces, the first is the Liangshan Gang, the second is the North Waterway Caoyun Division, and the third is the Yun family...

As for other small and medium-sized forces, there are countless of them, and they can only be excluded first.

Xiaochen pondered, "I'm not sure where this dragon statue is hidden, but it should be in this area..."

"Brother Xiao, what are you looking at? So focused. Shen Yilin looked at Xiao Chen, who had a solemn face, and also asked suspiciously.

Xiaochen raised his head, paused, and then said in a serious voice: "Miss Shen, I said that I had heard the news of the Shenlong stone carved statue, do you believe it?" ”

Looking at Shen Yilin's shocked expression, Xiao Chen sighed and continued, "It's just a rumor, not necessarily true. ”

"Brother Xiao, wait, how credible can this rumor be?" Shen Yilin seemed to be a little incoherent, stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Chen's shoulder, his face was almost in front of him, and hurriedly asked: "I'm sorry, regardless of credibility first, Brother Xiao will just say the rumors first." ”

As soon as Xiao Chen wanted to speak, Shen Yilin reached out to cover his mouth and said, "Master Nan, Kaifeng Forbidden Formation!" ”

After that, she hurriedly let go of her hand and said, "Brother Xiao, this matter involves a lot of things, if the information you provide is really useful, Yanguo will definitely be greatly rewarded!" She had a hunch that Xiaochen didn't feel like he was fabricating news to trick her.

"Okay!"

A low and hoarse voice sounded, and then the entire private room seemed to be covered with a transparent film, and the noisy singing and dancing outside also came to an abrupt end.

Shen Yilin glanced at Ling'er, then looked at Xiaochen, as if asking if this person could be trusted.

After Xiaochen saw it, he thought, "The less people know about this matter, the better." ”

"Ling'er, you go back to the contract space first!" Xiaochen said that he put it into the contract space, and the fruit that Ling'er had eaten half of it suddenly fell to the ground.
