August, Imperial City,

Perhaps it was because of the heavy rain that had just fallen last night, and the entire Imperial City was filled with a damp moisture inside and outside, plus the dust carried by the speeding carriages.

They blended together, sticking to the exposed skin of passers-by.

Coupled with the entangled mosquitoes flying in the air, they lay their eggs in stagnant water, eager for a blood-borne plague.

Of course, most people don't think about this, they think more about how to kill these noisy, damn mosquitoes.

At least Lan Ruofu has been an official in the court for so many years, and he has always wanted to write to the emperor to have a national mosquito eradication.

From the extinction of female mosquitoes to the restraint of all things, he thought a lot, but he still didn't find a way to "cut all the doors".

Lan Ruofu, who had to give up, followed the words "full of copies" and thought of it further.

"If you want to overthrow this imperial city, what kind of price will it take?"

Lan Ruofu was wearing a wide purple robe at the moment, and this kind of design that enveloped his whole body only made him feel extremely stuffy, and there was never comfort at all.

Standing at the door of the palace, looking at the ministers of the court and the central government walking in front of him, he couldn't help but smile when he looked at the smiling faces on their faces.

The polite words couldn't be talked for too long, and the group of ministers walked into the palace in laughter, leaving only themselves, the right minister of the imperial city, still in front of the palace, looking at the sky attentively.

Although it is the same sky, the clouds you see every day are always different.

At least forty-five years have passed since he left the valley and entered the court on the orders of his master.

From a chivalrous young man, to an old man who is in awe everywhere he goes.

He looked at the sky above the Imperial City for forty-five years, but he still couldn't find the cloud that belonged to him.

Even he felt like he was about to merge into a part of the Imperial City.

Is it all worth it?

Lan Ruofu's gaze at him from the group of young officials who came over in the distance, that kind of caution and countless yearnings.

Is it that they are eager to integrate into this huge imperial city at the moment?

The boy looked forward to entering, and the old man wanted to escape.

Thinking of this, Lan Ruofu opened his mouth lightly and let out a soft sigh, but he was stunned again.

Because he suddenly didn't know who he was sighing for?

"Lord Lan Xiang, the early dynasty is about to start, why don't you go in yet. ”

At this time, behind him, a soft and sharp laugh suddenly sounded, like a broken gong in the hands of a watchman in the middle of the night, familiar and ugly.

Lan Ruofu turned around, looked at the hunched middle-aged man in front of him, with a white face and beard, and laughed softly.

Lan Ruofu said: "It's still early in the early dynasty, Lan is here to take a look at the young people in the imperial city." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man also smiled and said, "These young people are the future pillars of the Imperial City, and they are where they can be stable today." ”

"Maybe in the near future, there will be a person like Lan Xiang, a talented minister who protects the country!"

"Of course, today's imperial city still depends on Lan Xiangcai. ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a very friendly smile.

"Father-in-law Fang's words are a death for the old man, if he is stable today, my dynasty is singing and dancing up and down, and it is peaceful. ”

This is also the ambition that Lan set for the government back then, and I didn't expect that forty years have passed in a blink of an eye, although Lan has realized his wish, he is also gray-haired. ”

For Father-in-law Fang's praise, Lan Xiang just smiled and shook his head, then looked up and down at the middle-aged eunuch standing in front of him, and said in a gentle voice: "Father-in-law Fang, I just entered the court back then, and you took me into the palace." ”

"Exactly. When Father-in-law Fang heard Lan Xiang suddenly say this, he also smiled and nodded.

"I can't imagine that after so many years, Fang's father-in-law's demeanor is still the same as it was back then, and his body is very tough. Lan Ruofu looked at the gray sky that was covered with dark clouds and there was no trace of daylight seeping through, and there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes that had not been seen for a long time.

Lan Ruofu sighed: "The old friends in the past are as healthy as they were back then, better than anything else." ”

"It's better than anything else. ”

Feeling the melancholy in Lan Ruofu's voice, Father-in-law Fang was still smiling and silent, but his eyes were a little more joyful.

"Speaking of which, today, why didn't Father-in-law Fang serve the Holy Morning Dynasty?" Lan Ruofu suddenly realized that at this time period, Father-in-law Fang should serve the emperor to the court, how could he have the time to chat here.

"Isn't it that Father-in-law Fang also has the heart to retreat?"

Hearing Lan Ruofu's words, Gonggong Fang just shook his head and said in his as soft voice as ever: "The old slave is no better than Lan Xiang, and he has already dedicated this remnant of his life to the Holy Lord. ”

"It's just that today there are distinguished guests from the imperial city, and I went to pick up the saint in person to go to the morning court. ”

"What kind of distinguished guest can make a celebrity like Grandpa Fang in front of the Holy Body eat a closed door?"

Lan Ruofu glanced at Father-in-law Fang in surprise, and his words were full of doubts.

"Hehe, speaking of which, this distinguished guest is also an old acquaintance of Lan Xiang. ”

Father-in-law Fang glanced at Lan Ruofu deeply, and the originally smiling expression also revealed an unprecedented coldness.

"Hidden Dragon, Lord. ”

Father-in-law Fang lowered his voice and whispered this name that made the world frightened.

"It's him!"

Hearing Father-in-law Fang's words, Rao is scheming is as calculating as Lan Ruofu, and his body couldn't help but shake lightly at the moment, and then said in disbelief.

Seeing the shock in Lan Ruofu's eyes, Father-in-law Fang also nodded helplessly.

"Shouldn't it, doesn't it mean that the great lord has never participated in the imperial council, but directly reported to the saint?"

Thinking of the order issued by the Holy Lord before, Lan Ruofu said with a somewhat unnatural expression.

"Speaking of which, Lan Xiangke knows that there has been news of rampant haunts in the rivers and lakes recently?"

Father-in-law Fang glanced around, and then whispered.

"I heard that, I guess some boring person pretended to be it. ”

Lan Ruofu thought of his junior brother who had just entered the WTO, and he didn't know if Wang Kouqi had found him.

Fang Gong said: "It is said that on the night when the world rampant appeared in the Sword Casting Villa, a mysterious force intervened and destroyed the Sword Casting Villa. ”

"And the vision of the black dragon that appeared in the sky above that night, this time it is very likely that the black dragon will personally act out. ”

"Lan Xiang, you also know that the founding of our Imperial City was founded three hundred years ago by a descendant of a sword immortal. ”

"And the imperial city has not fallen in the past three hundred years, relying on the sword immortal left, the secret of the immortals!. ”

"Although this black dragon immortal doesn't know why it fell, he was also the only immortal in the previous life. ”

Speaking of this, Father-in-law Fang glanced at Lan Ruofu and suddenly became silent.

Lan Ruofu saw that Fang's father-in-law's voice stopped abruptly, and he also understood that this time the eunuch's previous words had been a little arrogant.

At that moment, Lan Ruofu didn't embarrass him, and continued to speak: "You mean, the birth of the black dragon this time can be regarded as a complete grasp of the secret of the immortals left by the black dragon immortal?"

Father-in-law Fang nodded, but then shook his head slightly.

Father-in-law Fang's eyes lowered and he said softly, "The old slave didn't say that. ”

Lan Ruofu laughed, but he couldn't help but ponder for a while in his heart.

If the black dragon really mastered the secret of the immortals, then with the accumulation of this hundred years, coupled with the gradual dissatisfaction of the rivers and lakes with the hidden dragon of the imperial city at this moment.

It is very likely that the Black Dragon will take over the rivers and lakes and then establish a second imperial city.

For example, the incident of the Qingdi rebellion just came last month.

Although the matter of the Qingshan faction's civil strife has not yet spread in the rivers and lakes, Lan Ruofu, who used to be the third floor owner of Tsing Yi, did learn about it early.

It's just that these things are all under the control of his senior brother, the Lord of the Hidden Dragon.

If you know it, you know it.

What he was more worried about now was the conflict between his junior brother and the Demon Sword Marquis of the Imperial City, if this matter reached the ears of the Great Lord, it would become a little troublesome.

From what he knew about Don Juan, he was never a child who was willing to give in.

Especially for the second senior brother who is the Lord of the Hidden Dragon, he has always maintained an anger.

Thinking of this, Lan Ruofu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Tang Boy shouldn't go to the Black Dragon for revenge?"

Lan Ruofu thought of his out-of-character junior brother, and couldn't help but joke in his heart.

After all, if the black dragon really intends to annex the world.

Then his second senior brother, that is, the Hidden Dragon Master, must be a bloody purge next.

If the Black Dragon destroyed the Sword Forge Villa and took down the Qingshan Faction, it would be a demonstration.

Then the next Imperial City Hidden Dragon, what it will start will be an unrivaled means of suppression.

And even, during the time when he was in the early dynasty, the great lord had already discussed this matter with the Holy One!

Lan Ruofu's brows furrowed, not sure if it was as he had speculated.

If, the second target of the black dragon is the third master of the Dao......

So at this moment, what the Imperial City Qianlong wants to do is very likely to be the first to come to Linjiang City.

Calculating the time, Tang Juan should have arrived in Linjiang City and met the Third Master of Dao.

Then he is very likely to meet the people of the hidden dragon in the Imperial City first!

Thinking of this, Lan Ruofu's expression froze, and before Father-in-law Fang could react, he saw that Lan Ruofu, who was originally an immortal bone, was already leaving quickly at this moment.

"Where is Lan Xiang going?" Father-in-law Fang was startled and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Lan suddenly felt unwell, so I have to go to Doctor Gu to prescribe medicine first!"

Seeing that Lan Ruofu didn't look back, his figure walked quickly towards the imperial city gate.

"This is really a bitter old slave. Looking at Lan Ruofu's flying figure, Father-in-law Fang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Fortunately, the saint loves Lan Xiang very much, so he thinks that Lan Xiang is old, and there is no problem whether he comes early or not.

But the problem is, you have to pretend to be sick anyway.
