That year, the sky was full of dark clouds, the wind was fierce, and in the Zhumen mansion, a woman was giving birth, and it had been more than three hours, and only the woman's screams were heard outside the house, but the child's cry could not be heard for a long time.

The middle-aged man in the gorgeous clothes outside the door was anxious: "It's been almost four hours since noon, why is there still no movement, Madame's voice is getting smaller and smaller, how good is this." ”

"Master, Madame has fainted." The attendant ran out in a panic.

The middle-aged man was even more nervous after listening, and kept thinking about what to do, the white-bearded doctor behind him sighed, bowed to the middle-aged man to the end, and then entered the delivery room.

The white-bearded healer entered the delivery room and gave medicine to the woman, and in a short time the woman's cry was heard again. But there is still no intention of being born.

The white-bearded healer walked out, covered in blood: "Master, the fetal position is not correct, the lady has a difficult birth, the child and the adult, you can choose one." ”

The middle-aged man sat on the ground after listening. Choose one, how to choose, one is a wife, the other is the eldest son, he Luo Xicheng has done good all his life, why should he make such a choice.

"Destiny is like this, why bother." At this time, an old man in white clothes and white hair appeared in the courtyard, and everyone turned around and looked at him in surprise, when and how he came in.

The old man sighed and continued: "But if a stranger is born, the sky will have a vision, so why be persistent. After the old man finished speaking, he said something he didn't understand to the door of the delivery room, and with a wave of dust in his hand, a light fell from the sky and entered the delivery room, and after a while, a child's cry sounded.

The midwife stumbled out: "It's born, it's a boy." ”

The middle-aged man knelt down at the white-clothed and white-haired old man, kowtowed three times, and was about to speak, when he was surprised to find that he knew the old man in front of him. As soon as he was about to say goodbye, the old man shook his head: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, I came today because of fate, this son was born with a spiritual vein, and he should enter the Daomen, but there are many disasters and difficulties, this is his fate." Just wait for the salvation of those who are destined. The old man went too. As he spoke, the old man had drifted away. Only the middle-aged man was left standing in place, at a loss.

Ten years have passed in a flash, the child has grown up, he is very good, he is talented, he is the pride of Luo Xicheng, he grows up with the child, hoping that one day this child can take his place and continue to serve the country.

But disaster struck before I knew it.

"Luo Xicheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, committed the following crimes, and went against the law, and teamed up with Chu Heng, the general of the protector of the country, to commit treason with the enemy, and was put on death row, and the queen of the autumn was beheaded, and the Luo family was over 14 years old for the same crime, exiled under the age of 14, and the female dependents were the last officials, and the family property was confiscated. Take. With the voice of the eunuch and the spy, the glory of the Luo family came to an abrupt end.

Luo Jinli, who was only ten years old, was lying on the ground, with an unbelievable expression, collaborating with the enemy and treason, how could their Luo family have collaborated with the enemy and treason. Together with the general who protects the country, the gentle Uncle Chu, the figure with great achievements, how is it possible?

It must be a false accusation, it must be a false accusation, he wanted to plead, but he was pressed to the ground by his mother: "Don't speak, if you want to overturn the case, you have to live first." ”

Luo Jinli gritted his teeth and endured, when Luo's house was confiscated, he watched his mother being dragged into the house by a soldier, and when the door was opened again, he saw his mother hanging ragged on the beams of the house.

"Mother... Luo Jinli screamed like crazy. But it didn't work, it was too late, and no one could save them.

The road to exile, life is better than death, Luo Jinli gritted his teeth, followed the team, lived, must live.

This road has been walked for half a year, and finally reached the side plug. Luo Jinli did hard labor in the quarry, and the days were so muddy, three years later, Luo Jinli could no longer bear it, escaped, and had to escape.

Perhaps the heavens had favored the poor boy, who had discovered a cave to the west of the quarry, and had slipped into it without thinking. The entrance of the dark cave, he couldn't see anything, he didn't know how long he had walked, and finally saw the light, this was a small town, Luo Jinli was shuttling in it, what he didn't know was that he was already a hundred miles away from the quarry.

Luo Jinli stayed in the town, and he had to stay, because he had no money, and he couldn't walk anymore because he didn't get water and rice for many days, and in a whirlwind, he lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he was lying in a firewood room.

"You're awake, drink some water." Luo Jinli sat up and looked at the woman in front of her, who was handsome and dressed in a neat Luo skirt. Luo Jinli took the bowl of water and took a sip. Then he said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Miss, for saving your life." ”

The woman shook her head: "Where are you from, your family?" ”

"I'm an orphan, I don't have a family, I don't know where I'm from." Luo Jinli shook his head.

"And what's your name?" The woman asked.

"I, I don't have a name." Luo Jinli replied that he was a prisoner of the imperial court, how could he dare to say his name.

The woman looked at him and said, "I lack a groom, or you will follow me in the future, well, I will call you a pony in the future, okay?" ”

Luo Jinli nodded after listening.

The woman is the daughter of Guo Yuanwai in the town, and since then Luo Jinli has lived incognito in Guo's house, because Luo Jinli talks and behaves extraordinarily, and also has some kung fu, which is deeply liked by the daughter outside the hospital, and over time, she has become the escort and bodyguard of the daughter outside the hospital.

But Luo Jinli didn't know if he was a lone star, destined to experience a catastrophe, two years later, this town was also ruined, leaving the country to commit crimes, the town was ransacked, the army rushed into the town to burn and kill, and Guo Yuanwai's family was not spared, Luo Jinli used all his strength, pulling his daughter outside the hospital to escape, and finally was caught up by the army, the daughter outside the hospital was dragged away, Luo Jinli risked his life to snatch people down, but it was too late, the daughter outside the staff had been ruined, and Luo Jinli was also seriously injured, In desperation, he dragged his daughter forward with great difficulty, and finally fainted on the side of the road.

When he woke up again, he saw an old man in white clothes and white hair sitting beside him, and the old man saw that she was awake and sighed: "Who are you this woman?" ”

"My sister." Luo Jinli replied.

"Then, you mourn, the old man tried his best, but she still left." The old man replied.

Luo Jinli got up and looked at the corpse covered with scars, and behaved extremely calmly: "Life and death are fate, it's just that." ”

"In troubled times, you can come with me." The old man stood up, and Luo Jinli got up from the ground and followed the old man.

They walked for a long time, and came to an unknown mountain, where the peaks were covered with snow, but the valley was indeed full of spring.

Luo Jinli lived here, just doing a job of chopping wood and diving water every day, day after day, he didn't feel lonely, it was good to be able to live in this troubled world.

"You can endure loneliness, you are a natural spiritual vein, are you willing to cultivate with me?" The old man asked.

Luo Jinli nodded.

The following years were even more boring, how hard it was, Luo Jinli gritted his teeth and persevered, and if he wanted to rehabilitate the Luo family, he had to strengthen himself first. But where is the path of cultivation so easy, how many times he faints in the snow, how many times he can't hold on.

When his heart was shaken, he found a figure, it was a woman, a very beautiful woman, but after seeing the movements of the woman's hand clearly, he was so frightened that his heart was turbulent, and all kinds of poisonous insects gathered around the thin woman, but the woman was not afraid at all, and let the poisonous insects bite her body.

Luo Jinli didn't dare to get close and watched from a distance, and after looking at it for a few days, he found that this woman had perseverance that others didn't have. Luo Jinli once again firmed herself, the woman is still like this, how can she give up.

He didn't see the woman again for half a year, and when she returned, she was surrounded by blue translucent butterflies. At that moment, he shocked the woman. I wanted to approach for no reason, but was stopped by the old man: "Stay away from her, otherwise you won't know how you died." ”

Luo Jinli didn't dare to disobey the old man, and was obedient. But since then, he has not seen the woman again.

In the blink of an eye, it was half a year, and he was extremely talented and had already achieved a small success. The old man taught him some in-depth methods, and after a year, he went down the mountain, walked the rivers and lakes as a knight, and began a new journey.

He began to secretly investigate the affairs of the Luo family, but the more he investigated, the more frightened he became, and finally, he alarmed that force and was chased by the killer.

Once again, Luo Jinli fell into a crisis, the opponent's palm power was amazing, he was shocked by the meridians, and death struck again. Luo Jinli fell to the ground, covered in blood, the aura in his body and inside were flowing wildly, he knew that he had no way to return to the sky, looking at the sky, he finally despaired. And the black-clothed killer beside him had already raised the steel knife in his hand at him.

"What a swarm of flies, I can meet you everywhere you go." A woman's voice sounded coldly.

"Where did the wild girl come from, I don't know whether I am alive or dead." The killer scoffed.

"Hmph, you're the first one who dares to talk to the deity like that." The woman made a move, and Luo Jinli only remembered the sword, with a blue light, and everywhere she went, there was no life.

The screams, the howls, were incessant, and blood splattered on his face. Luo Jinli was surprised. He had never seen such a fast sword, and before the killer could react, the head had already moved, and the mocking expression was frozen forever.

"The meridians are broken, and you are seriously injured." When the woman had finished speaking, she took out a small bottle from herself, put something in it around her neck, and it went under his skin.

"It's going to hurt, don't struggle, or you'll be in more pain." Before the woman's voice fell, Luo Jinli felt the pain of drilling. This pain lasted for half an hour, and Luo Jinli was surprised to find that there was spiritual power surging in his meridians, and his damaged qi sea and meridians had all recovered.

Luo Jinli got up and turned to the woman: "Miss Xie helps." ”

The woman didn't speak, just looked at him, and after a long time, she said, "There is the style of Luo Shangshu back then." ”

This sentence made Luo Jinli break out in a cold sweat: "Who are you?"

"You don't care about this for now, just ask you one word, do you want revenge?" The woman asked?

Luo Jinli nodded without thinking.

"Okay, you will follow me in the future, and I will help you take revenge, but you have to know that this road is not easy to follow." The woman said.

"Why help me?" Luo Jinli asked.

"Because behind the destruction of your family is also my enemy, we share the same goal. The forces behind the scenes are too strong to be overthrown by ourselves, we must unite. Saying that, the woman opened her legs and walked forward: "Luo Jinli, call back your own name in the future, enter the door of the deity, and no one dares to touch you at will." ”

"Your door, what door?" Luo Jinli was curious, what sect is so big.

"Phoenix Hills." The woman replied.

Luo Jinli took a breath of cold air after hearing this, Phoenix Villa? The existence on the rivers and lakes that amazed the martial arts as soon as it appeared, could it be that this woman is the Phoenix Sect Master Nalan Ash? Luo Jinli thought for a while, the short sword of blue light, isn't that the legendary Youlan sword?

Luo Jinli fell into deep thought, Phoenix Villa, no one on the rivers and lakes knows when it appeared, when the rivers and lakes knew the existence of this sect, several major events had happened on the rivers and lakes, the Poison Hand Gate, the Rakshasa Gate, the Shura Dao, the Black Wind Valley, etc., several notorious but powerful sects in the rivers and lakes were destroyed overnight, and without exception, there were four big characters written in blood on the gate: Phoenix Villa.

For a time, new legends on the rivers and lakes were also circulating everywhere, and what happened at the same time was that the people who had been persecuted by these sects appeared more or less silver money in front of their doors, and those plundered cheats and treasures also appeared on the table of its original owner inexplicably, and without exception, among these objects that were returned, there was a famous post, only four words: Phoenix Villa.

The famous and decent people on the rivers and lakes began to investigate, and found that Phoenix Villa is located on Suzaku Street in Tiandu City, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the mansion of a rich and noble family.

There were also people with good deeds who came to challenge, but they didn't even enter the gate of Phoenix Villa. The descendants of the destroyed door came to seek revenge, and the corpse appeared in the suburbs of Yizhuang the next day.

The rivers and lakes are also very curious about Phoenix Villa, but careful people find that Phoenix Villa is jealous and hateful, good people will never move, and bad people will never let go.

At the same time, there is a mysterious power on the rivers and lakes, known as Yanyun One Hundred and Eight Horses, which is composed of one hundred and eight knights with superb martial arts, legend has it that they wear black armor, shuttle through the night, like ghosts in the dark night, wherever they go, chickens and dogs do not stay, but this is just a legend, because the living people can't see it, and none of the people who see it are alive, and the legend that the upper seal of this mysterious power is Nalan Feng, the suzerain of Phoenix Mountain Villa.

It took only a year for Phoenix Villa to become famous from quietly appearing, they acted ruthlessly in the rivers and lakes, and those forces in the rivers and lakes that endangered one side were cut off by Phoenix Villa one by one.

Luo Jinli looked at the white figure in front of him, and said in disbelief, "You are the Phoenix Sect Master, Nalan Ash?" ”

The woman stopped, turned back, and nodded at him. "Will you recognize me as Lord?"

Luo Jinli was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the woman: "I have seen the Phoenix Sect Master, Luo Jinli is willing to swear allegiance." ”

"Good. After the famous family, it is really heroic. Nalan Ember said as he bent down to help him up, turned and continued walking.

"Sect Master, where are we going?" Luo Jinli asked.

"Kill." Nalan Ash's answer was concise and to the point.

Luo Jinli didn't speak again, just followed behind Nalan Ash. But their minds did turn a thousand times, killing people, who was this going to kill, they walked until it was dark, and came to a hidden courtyard door, and there was a noisy sound from inside.

Nalan Ember looked at the sky, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, it is really a good time to kill people, and some debts should be repaid." ”

With a wave of the sword in Nalan Ash's hand, the gate collapsed. When the people inside heard the sound and rushed out, they saw a woman in white standing in the courtyard with a sword.

"Who are you?" The leader asked.

"Phoenix Sect Master, Nalan Ash." Nalan Ember got it coldly, and then turned his head to look at Luo Jinli behind him: "Don't say you don't remember these people." ”

Luo Jinli looked at the big men in front of him, and gritted his teeth angrily for a while: "Remember, Miss Guo was defiled by these people." ”

"Good." As soon as the words fell, Nalan Ember had already made a move, his sword fell, and in a blink of an eye, those big men fell to the ground, their heads in different places.

Nalan Ember turned around, a ball of fire surged from his hand, and the fire rose into the sky. Nalan Ember put away his sword: "Miss Guo's revenge, let's go to the next family." ”

Luo Jinli looked at the crackling and burning house in front of him in a daze. I didn't react for a while.

"Why are you stunned, let's go, it's hard to start when it's dawn." Nalan Ember called out to him.

Luo Jinli hurriedly followed.

This time they came to the door of a general's mansion. Luo Jinli looked up and saw the plaque on it: Hussar General's Mansion.

Luo Jinli looked at Nalan Ember in surprise. Nalan Ember didn't speak, but just pulled Luo Jinli and jumped in from the wall.

A middle-aged man wearing only a pair of underwear was held to his knees by a man in silver. Nalan Ember walked in slowly: "Do you know him?" ”

Luo Jinli looked at the man's face, just a glance, Luo Jinli was so angry that he almost didn't vomit blood: "I know." I won't forget this face even if I die. He raped my mother. ”

"Well, that's good." Nalan Ember squatted down, reached out and pinched the middle-aged man's chin, and said with a smile: "Who ordered you to raid Luo's house?" Say it, and the deity will let you go. ”

"Imperial Concubine." The middle-aged man replied.

Luo Jinli was shocked when he heard these three words.

Nalan Ember stood up: "A small captain, who has no military merits, has been on the rank of a hussar general in such a short period of time, you dog lick well, and you will do it, but if you look at what you have done, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, burn, kill and plunder, do you think that there is an imperial concubine in this world to cover you, and no one can take care of you?" Nalan Ember sighed: "If you make it a horse bandit to intercept and kill, all the female dependents will be released, the male will not be killed if the minor is underage, and the rest will not be left." As for what he did, was he ready? ”

"Back to the sect master, the file has already appeared in Prime Minister Lu Cheng's study. Those witnesses were also sent to the Tiandu Mansion, and the evidence is conclusive, that is, if he does not die today, he will not be able to escape a full house of beheadings, and the sect master is doing this to give his family a way to live. The silverman replied.

"Good." Then he looked back at Luo Jinli: "Do it yourself, otherwise you won't experience the pleasure of slashing the enemy." ”

Luo Jinli was a little stunned when he looked at Nalan Ash's operation, and the middle-aged man began to struggle violently: "Didn't you say that as long as I tell the truth, you will let me go?" ”

"Ah, yes, I didn't do it, I just said I wouldn't kill you, but I didn't say that I wanted to stop others from killing you, I was saying that you had made someone else's mother, and people wanted to avenge their mother, and I couldn't stop it. You're right. Nalan Ember stood up.

Luo Jinli was stunned again after hearing this, as the saying goes, how much ability you have, how big your temper is, it's Nalan Ash, what he said is that it is impossible to refute.

"Hey, why are you still stunned, it's getting dawn." Nalan Ember took a few steps back. Give up the place to Luo Jinli.

Luo Jinli drew his sword, slowly walked to the middle-aged man's side and spoke to the silver-clothed man, "Brother, you rest, don't let the dirty blood of this beast stain your clothes." ”

The silver-clothed man holding the middle-aged man let go of his hand and stepped back, smiled at Luo Jinli and made a gesture of please.

Luo Jinli left his hand and fell with his sword, and then with his hand, and then with his sword, Luo Jinli was very accurate, the first sword broke the middle-aged man's vocal cords so that he couldn't shout, and each sword after that stabbed very deeply, but it didn't hurt the vital point, until this person was covered in bruises, and the blood flowed, he cut off the opponent's head with a sword.

Nalan Ember looked at it and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, the swordsmanship is good." Let's go. ”

The first night of following Nalan Ember was spent in this blood-soaked eyes, but to Luo Jinli's surprise, this was just the tip of the iceberg, and the next few years were spent in this bloody storm, and slowly Luo Jinli found that all the forces cut off by Phoenix Mountain Villa were more or less related to the imperial concubine.

In the second year of entering the villa, the Boundless Qingfeng Pavilion was established, and the Boundless Qingfeng Pavilion was established, and the Boundless Qingfeng Pavilion allowed all the groceries, transportation, weapons and other industries in the capital, and more than 80% of the goods in and out of the Tiandu City were the channels of the Boundless Qingfeng Pavilion, and he also became the pavilion master of the Boundless Qingfeng Pavilion in that year, officially commanding the Phoenix Villa Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, Meilan Zhuju, the twelve pavilion sons, and the following year, Phoenix Villa began to open up rudders in the entire Tianque Continent to expand its power, and when all this was on the right track, Luo Jinli found that the power of Phoenix Villa had unknowingly infiltrated the imperial city, and even those high-ranking princes in southern Xinjiang were also allied with Phoenix Villa.

Just when Luo Jinli had been wondering why his sect master was secretly targeting the imperial concubine everywhere, Nalan Ember gave him a shocking answer.

That night in the secret room of the Phoenix Pavilion, Luo Jinli saw Nalan Ember in a bright yellow emperor costume smiling at him: "Stinky boy, does the deity look good in this dress?"

Luo Jinli looked at the sect master in front of him, which was completely different from the previous one, his brain was blank, and he nodded very mechanically.

Nalan Ember smiled: "Why, I'm stupid, don't be afraid, the deity doesn't have any unrealistic ideas, the reason why the deity dares to wear this dress is because this is originally a mourning family." You've never wondered why the mourners know everything about you? ”

Luo Jinli nodded after listening. But he didn't speak, still looking at Nalan Ember seriously, waiting for her answer.

"The full name of the mourning family is Nalan Feng Ash. Do you understand? Nalan Ember looked at Luo Jinli after speaking.

"Nalan Feng Ash, you are the eldest princess of the phoenix, the regent of Chaozhongzhou, and the current Emperor of the Imperial Majesty?" Luo Jinli finally understood, and knelt down at the moment of returning to his senses. was pulled by Nalan Feng Ember.

"Luo Jinli, the enmity of your Luo family, the mourning family has always remembered it in your heart, the mourning family ascended the throne, you are the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites." Every word of Nalan Feng's embers fell on Luo Jinli's heart, and it was a heavy hammer.

That night, Luo Jinli stayed awake all night, such shocking news made him unimaginable, and at the same time gave him hope.

Finally, on that day of that year, the Fengyun Plan was launched, and when he rushed into the Zhaoyang Hall with the people of Phoenix Villa, he knew that the day of the Luo family's rehabilitation had arrived. I've been waiting for so many years, and I've finally waited for this day.

It was on that day that he realized how big a game of chess his master had been playing.

On the first day after he took over as the head of the Ministry of Rites, he sat in the place where his father used to sit and accepted the entire Ministry of Rites to bow down. He vowed to be a good official, worthy of the sect master, worthy of the Luo family, and worthy of all the people in the world.

Three months later, his lord Nalan Fengshen sent him a big gift, and when he saw the Luo clan tablet enshrined in the Phoenix Temple, he was so surprised that he was speechless.

"After being loyal, but unjustly died in prison, my Nalan clan can't stand you, the Si people have passed away, let their gods enter the temple to be worshipped, this is the only thing I can do for Nalan Feng Ember for them. Jinli, the remains of the Luo family have been recovered, buried in your Luo's ancestral mausoleum, the mourning family has ordered someone to renovate the ancestral tomb of the Luo family, find a time you are willing to go back and kowtow to your family. When Nalan Fengshen finished saying this, Luo Jinli couldn't hold back any longer, kneeling on the ground and hugging Nalan Fengyan's legs and crying like a child.

"The case of General Chu Heng who was wrongfully complicated with the enemy and treason, involving the Luo family, the Liu family, the singer family, and the Jiang family, after investigation, was an unjust, false and wrongful case made by the imperial concubine Du in order to cut off the forces that did not submit, and the mourning family has issued an example to rehabilitate you, these unjustly killed loyalists, it is the Nalan clan who can't stand them, and enshrine them in the Phoenix Temple, and they will be offered by the royal family incense for eternal life, and the dead mourning family can't be saved, the only thing to do is to rebuild the ancestral tomb for you, find the bones and bury them, and mourn the family to be ashamed of you, and apologize here." The moment Nalan Feng fell to kneel in front of them, everyone burst into tears.

Luo Jinli, who was standing on the edge of the cliff of Phoenix Spirit Mountain, was interrupted by the chirping of a crane and sighed deeply.

"What are you thinking, why are you sighing?" Behind him came the voice of Ge Shuye.

"In the process of wanting to meet the sect master, those Jin Ge Iron Horses are like yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, they have already ranked in the immortal class, and life is really wonderful." Luo Jinli sighed: "I don't know where the sect master is, I miss her a little, all these years, I have never left her, this picturesque place, without the figure of the sect master, I always feel boring." ”

"You and I feel the same way." Ge Shuye smiled. "You don't want to go to her too, do you?"

"Don't you want to?" Hibiscus departed.

"Yes, but I can't." Ge Shuye replied, "The sect master left a letter for us. "Geshu night opened. The familiar note came into view:

"Jinli, Shu Ye, Xiyan, Biluo, I know, each of you wants to stay with me all the time, and even accompany me into reincarnation, but, you all came to me, what to do with the Dharma Realm, I also spent a lot of thought in this Dharma Realm, this will be our home in the future, you are all my family, you are all gone, who will come to see this family, I have worked hard to put a lot of thought into this home, and it is arranged according to the preferences of each of you, no need to thank me, is it not wasted, You will definitely say that Xu Yan and Tianyou have followed me, why can't you, then I tell you, Xu Yan is my marriage, I want to last for a long time, reincarnation is destined, and Tianyou is my younger brother in the end, you know his temper, I can't control it, but a few of you are different, you have suffered too much in Tianque, I finally let you rank in the immortal class, just to let you not be troubled by the world, not so tired, this love, you can't dare to read it, besides, I reincarnate this time, I have to go through a period of vacuum, I can't even protect myself during this vacuum period, how can I let you come to the adventure together, in other words, my reincarnation is the tribulation I must go through, your arrival will hinder the development of the situation, and it will not be good for anyone, so stay obediently, don't run around, if you are tired, go back to Tianque to see, but don't go back for too long, there is no one at home, not afraid of being remembered by thieves, even if you do me a favor, give me a good look at this home, wait for me to come back, if you dare to disobey, Wait for me to come back, the little leather whip is waiting, okay, just write here, don't think about me, I'm just going to be busy with other things, I'll be back when I'm done, okay, Phoenix Pen. ”

After reading it, Luo Jinli folded it carefully, and put it back in Ge Shuye's hand: "The sect master said to take care of this place, then we won't go anywhere, take care of this place." Waiting for her to come back. ”

Ge Shuye nodded.

"Hey, Shu Ye, I'm curious, how did you get into Phoenix Villa, let's hear it."
