() Xianlai Zhai is worthy of being the largest teahouse in the entire Xianliufang, with a single floor area of four or five acres of land, and it is full of all kinds of people, most of whom are Qi refining cultivators.

Gong Cheng Nan naturally wouldn't let Duan Chen and Nangong Yao have tea on the first floor, and was about to take the two of them to the third floor, but Duan Chen refused.

So the three of them found an empty seat on the first floor.

As a result, as soon as the three of them sat down, the shopkeeper of Xianlai Zhai immediately rushed over when he heard the news, and said with a strange face: "Young Master Nan, this floor is a place where some qi refining cultivators only come, you and the two guests are noble, do you want to move to the third floor to sit?"

Gong Chengnan glanced at Duan Chen, and saw that he didn't have the slightest intention of getting up and changing positions, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "No need, take turns to eat the special food department in Zhai, and then make a pot of Yun Lingjian, you can do whatever you should be busy with, you don't need to greet us." ”

After listening to this, the shopkeeper felt that it was a little inappropriate to sit on the first floor of this teahouse as a public loser, but he immediately turned around and went to the back hall to order his subordinates to prepare.

I have to say that the identity of Gong Chengnan is still very useful, and not long after the shopkeeper left, several junior two took turns to send all kinds of delicacies and spiritual tea, without having to wait in line.

Gong Yinan took matters into his own hands, poured a cup of spiritual tea for Duan Chen and Nangong Yao, and said with a smile: "Two fellow Daoists, this Yun Lingjian is one of the best quality spiritual teas in our Shangdu, you can see how different it is from the spiritual tea of the Great Wilderness Dynasty." ”

Duan Chen and Nangong Yao nodded slightly, then picked up the teacup and began to taste it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Duan Chen divided part of his mind and began to observe the monks on the first floor of the entire Xianlai Zhai, and his gaze immediately fell on the tea table not far from them.

There were four Qi Refining Cultivators sitting on this tea table, three men and one woman, each with their own cultivation levels, the high cultivation was enough to have the ninth level of Qi refining, and the low one was worthy of cultivating to the third level of Qi refining.

However, the reason why Duan Chen noticed this table of Qi Refining Cultivators in the vast crowd was not because of the gap in their cultivation between them, but because this table of Qi Refining Cultivators actually opened a soundproof barrier between conversations, which attracted Duan Chen's attention.

He was very curious in his heart, and immediately separated a wisp of divine consciousness into the other party's soundproof barrier and eavesdropped on the conversation of the four people.

I only heard the oldest white-eyed old man among the four speak: "You three hurry up and eat, after eating, we will leave Shangdu tonight and return to the sect." ”

At this time, I only heard the youngest girl in blue among the four say: "Elder, it is difficult for us to come out once, it is better to play in Shangdu for a few more days, go back now, and I don't know when I will come out next time." ”

The curly-haired young man sitting opposite the blue-clothed girl also spoke, "Yes, Elder, just stay for a few more days." ”

The white-eyed old man's face sank when he heard this: "Play and play, you two know how to play, you two don't know how to practice at a young age, let alone build a foundation in the future, it is difficult to cultivate to the realm of the tenth layer of Great Perfection of Qi refining." ”

The middle-aged man sitting next to the white-eyed old man said, "Elder Ma is angry, the two of them are still young, just teach them slowly in the future." ”

After a slight pause, the middle-aged man looked at the two girls in blue, and said earnestly: "Recently, rumors have been flying all over the sky in the Shang capital, so don't make any extraneous branches for the two of you, listen to Elder Ma's words, and go back to the sect after eating obediently."

。 ”

The curly-haired young man wondered, "What rumors?

The blue-clothed girl's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said: "I know this, I heard that the demon gods will start a war with the four major dynasties this time, not to invade the territory of our human race, but to seek a way to coexist peacefully with our human race, but the four major dynasties are unwilling to sit down and negotiate with them, which will lead to the outbreak of war." ”

When Duan Chen heard this, his heart sank slightly, and while talking casually with Gong Cheng Nan and Nangong Yao, he continued to eavesdrop on the conversation of the four of them.

I only heard the blue-clothed girl continue: "I also heard that the original intention of the establishment of the Demon God Society was just to provide a shelter for those demon cultivators, so that they would not be wiped out by the four major dynasties, and the Northern Xia Dynasty also cooperated with the Demon God Society so that the human race and the demon race could coexist peacefully......"

However, before the blue-clothed girl finished speaking, she was interrupted by the white-eyed old man: "Enough, the matter between the Demon God Society and the Five Great Dynasties is not something that you and I can discuss as a small Qi Refining Cultivator. ”

As soon as these words came out, the girl in blue immediately closed her mouth obediently, the curly-haired young man and the middle-aged man looked at each other, and immediately buried their heads in hardship, not daring to speak anymore.

When Duan Chen overheard this, he was a little surprised by the rumors that the girl in blue said, and he vaguely felt that he had caught some important clues in his mind, but he didn't know what the specific clues were.

At this time, I only heard the Seven Demon Lords sneering: "There are many capable people behind this Demon God Society, and they even know how to win people's hearts. ”

Duan Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked in a voice: "Senior, you said that the demon god will win people's hearts?"

The Seven Demon Lords said lightly: "Why, don't you understand? This demon god will have the guidance of a master behind it, and they are now spreading these rumors in order to win over people's hearts. ”

Airplanes!

At this moment, Duan Chen's heartstrings vibrate, and he finally understood the meaning of the Seven Demon Lords.

The demon god will actually try to spread rumors and win the hearts of people all over the world, but the human race and the demon race are different after all, and the demon god will try to win the hearts of the people in this way, is it really possible to succeed?

Facing Duan Chen's question, the Seven Demon Monarchs said lightly: "The thousand-mile causeway can still be destroyed by the anthill, not to mention the human heart. ”

"And since the Demon God Society can come up with a plan to win people's hearts by spreading rumors, then there must be a plan to win people's hearts in the next step, I advise you to report this matter to the Desolate Heavenly King, and take precautions as soon as possible, otherwise once the demon god will win over some people's hearts, I am afraid that many people will fall to the Demon God Society, and even switch to cultivating the demon clan exercises. ”

When Duan Chen heard this, he already understood the seriousness of the matter, and immediately secretly passed the matter to the Desolate Heaven King through the disciple token of the outer palace of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace.

As for how the Desolate Heaven King was going to solve this matter, Duan Chen didn't have the energy to worry about it at the moment, after all, he had more important things to do right now.

That is about what the Demon God Society, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Gongyi Family plan to do at the marriage ceremony that will be held in the East Palace of the Great Shang Palace in two days.

Although he still doesn't know what the specific plan of this group is, he can probably guess something.

And about the matter of King Ning Kang asking him to meet tonight, Duan Chen should also think about it

Do you want to go to the appointment?

Thinking of this, Duan Chen pondered while tasting the various delicacies on the table with Nangong Yao.

And Gong Yinan seemed to be tired of eating these things, so he didn't use chopsticks much, and most of the time he just sat on the side and introduced the stories behind these delicacies to Duan Chen and them.

At this time, the four monks had already gotten up and left Xianlaizhai, and before leaving, the white-eyed old man seemed to have warned the girl in blue, making her look dejected.

Seeing this, Duan Chen and Nangong Yao sat in Xianlai Zhai for a while before leaving Xianlai Zhai accompanied by Gong Cheng Nan and flying towards the Shanggong District.

When the three of them flew to the junction of Shanggong District and Xianliu District, Gongyinan heard that Duan Chen and they were going to the county lord's mansion, so he immediately called a beast cart, and the three of them got on the beast cart and galloped all the way towards the county lord's mansion located in the southeast of Shanggong District.

The Shanggong District covers an area comparable to that of Xianliu District, of which the Dashang Palace alone occupies nearly half of the area of the entire Shanggong District, while the other half of the area is occupied by the mansions of the ministers of the major palaces and the princes and nobles.

The county lord's mansion where Qin Huaiyue lives is located in the southeast of the Shanggong District, which is the most prosperous area in the Shanggong District except for the Great Shang Palace.

Most of the people who can live here are the princes and nobles of the Dashang royal family, and naturally the Ningkang Royal Mansion was also built in this area.

When the beast cart passed by the Ningkang Palace, Duan Chen secretly wrote down the location of the Ningkang Palace, and then continued to close his eyes on the beast cart to recuperate.

It wasn't until the beast cart stopped at the county lord's mansion that he got out of the car and said, "Gongyi Daoist, thank you for sending us over, now you can go back." ”

Gong Yinnan, who was about to enter the county lord's mansion with Duan Chen and them, paused for a moment, and said a little stunned: "Duan Daoyou, you ......."

Without waiting for Gongyu Nan to finish speaking, Duan Chen opened his mouth and continued: "You go back and tell Gongyu Muyun Daoyou, just say that we plan to stay in the County Lord's Mansion for a few days, and we will not return to Gongyi Mansion for the time being." ”

After saying that, he took Nangong Yao towards the gate of the county lord's mansion without looking back.

Gong Yinan looked at the backs of Duan Chen and the others, his face gradually gloomy, and then after hesitating for a moment, he snorted coldly and quickly left in the beast cart that came.

Although Duan Chen didn't look back, he sensed this scene through the power of his divine sense, and couldn't help but nod secretly.

This Gong lost Nan is still a good acquaintance, and he didn't keep up with him, but it saved him a lot of effort.

Immediately, Duan Chen's eyes turned, and he began to look at the county lord's mansion in front of him.

Different from the architectural style of the Gongyi Mansion, the architectural style of the County Lord's Mansion is more magnificent and noble.

However, in terms of floor area, it is obvious that the Gongyi Mansion is better, after all, the Gongyi Mansion has a population of thousands up and down, and Qin Huaiyue is only one person, even if you count some of the guards brought from the Great Qin Dynasty, there are only dozens of people at most, so naturally you can't use too much area.

When Duan Chen and Nangong Yao walked to the door of the county lord's mansion, Qin Huaiyue had already heard the news and rushed to welcome the two into the mansion hall, and then separated the others, leaving Wu Po to sit aside.

Seeing this, Duan Chen first cautiously sacrificed the Water Moon Mirror to open an enchantment that isolated the exploration of divine sense, and then said what he had seen and heard in the past two days, as well as some inferences in his heart.
