Luo Tian and Situ Yan woke up and came to the lobby to find Situ Lian decorating the house with a group of workers.

Today, she didn't wear the phoenix robe that scared people to death, but changed into the light green dress of ordinary people, so the mother of a country in the world of the peerless mother of the world turned into a playful and lovely girl next door to a small jasper.

"Good guy, eldest sister, you are going to give the new master of the door a dismount. Situ Yan rubbed his neck and looked at the heights, a group of men were setting up a high platform in front of the inn counter, with the help of professionals, the original lifeless and old and silent inn has become more brilliant than the night market of Caiyi City, large and small colored lights flickering in the eyes of everyone, and a high platform is eye-catching at the front.

Situ Lian sat down on the Taishi chair, folded his legs, and gently twisted the wine glass. Situ Cheng picked up the wine jug with great insight and poured a full glass, and Situ smiled and signaled that you are a stinky boy with a little conscience.

"In Pingyang City, it is impossible to negotiate fairly between you and the Wu'en Gate. Situ Lian said slowly, "With my energy, I can only protect you for twelve hours, once this time has passed, Wuenmen can use any means against you and this shop, if you decide to protect Meng Changxuan." ”

"That's what I thought. Situ nodded.

"Before today's Shen Shi, the blockade of the city will be reactivated, and the people of Wuenmen will start to gradually blockade from a few miles away from here, control the city gate, and the vast majority of people will cooperate with their actions, and the prestige of Wuenmen in Leiyang County can simply reach a terrifying point. Situ Lian said, "In the end, within a radius of five miles with this place as the center, there will be no one other than this shop." After the clearance is completed, this inn will become a lonely shop, if your friends fail to negotiate, Wuen Men can go on a killing spree, the Situ family can't manage the emperor, let alone the emperor, and no one on the street will help you, even if I can only save my life, I can't do more. ”

"It couldn't have been worse. ”

"You should have taken the Xuanzhou last night and ran away, taking those two people who were blasphemous, although it was a little difficult to escape from Leiyang County, but it was not impossible. Situ sighed, "But you decided to stay, it's really a few stubborn donkeys." ”

"Eldest sister, you use such a large sum of money as a guarantee, what if we run away from your money?"

"I'm not worried, the reckless man who can only play with a sword in the mall is no different from a stupid donkey. Situ Lian sighed, "Your temper is really carved out of the same mold as your father, there is no way, who let me only have a younger brother like you, so I have to do my best to help you again." ”

"Looking at this posture, do you want to entertain the Wu'en Sect well, so that their subordinates can show mercy?" Situ Zhen raised his eyebrows, he knew that his eldest sister had definitely thought of a way.

"Guess?" Situ Lian smiled, "The whole world is not the king's land, Pingyang City is their territory, and it is His Majesty's territory, and I, who am the queen, are naturally half the master, shouldn't I entertain the guests well? There will be a very grand performance tonight, let the new master sit down in the gorgeous song and dance, and everyone will have a good talk." She took out a stack of invitations with gold letters on a red background from her sleeve, "Uncle Mo, please also ask you to send these invitations to those distinguished guests, be sure to have one for each person, don't fall behind." ”

The middle-aged man who looked like an attendant walked out of the shadows, took the invitation with both hands, and said respectfully: "My subordinates will obey the queen's decree." ”

......

......

The setting sun fell on the edge of the mountain peaks in the distance, and flying swords lined up in rows, running before the glow.

Bai Yan stood at the front of the sword formation with his hands in his hands, his white hair was meticulously combed, and the elder was wearing a tweed shawl outside his purple robe, and Pei Huaiqian was beside him.

The streets are deserted, and all the restaurants and casinos are closed, with wooden signs on the doors that say they are closed. Since noon, the most prosperous street in Binh Duong City has been gradually blocked, and Wu'en Gate has set up barricades at both ends of the road, and has carried out air barriers, and no one without a sect token is allowed to pass.

Tonight is the negotiation of the Meng family brothers, and it is also the negotiation between the inheritance of the master of the Wu'en Sect and the "sword" of the blasphemy, this conversation is likely to determine the future pattern of Leiyang County, and anyone who has nothing to do will be forbidden to take a step.

Bai Yan and Pei Huaiqian didn't speak along the way, and they could still say a few more words before the ugly things were exposed. Now that those things have passed, Pei Huaiqian is immersed in the sadness of Gongsun's death, why is Bai Yan not? All he can do is be silent.

The sword array slowed down slowly, and finally began to stagnate, according to the disciple who was exploring the path in front of him, there seemed to be something blocking the road in front of him, Bai Yan frowned vigilantly, everything within a radius of several miles had been cleared, what could still block the road?

Blocking them was a light and agile sedan chair, which was a flying mystery "sedan in the clouds" loved by some large families, and beyond that were all kinds of luxury sedan boats, which seemed to be the same destination as their own group.

The sound transmission jade slip on his waist suddenly flashed with light, and it was from the disciple stationed in Pingyang City: "Great Elder! The plan has changed! From a distance, a large number of flying mystical weapons are coming, and all of them are women. There were also several horse-drawn wagons unloading liquor into the inn, and it looked like they wanted to open their doors tonight. ”

"Do you dare to break into a place blocked by the Grace Gate?" Bai Lai was furious, "Drive all the people away for me!"

"They are not afraid of us, and the attendants they carry are at least masters of the True Xuan Realm. "The disciple was helpless," just now there was a woman who was stuck in the road and talked to me for a long time, and she didn't mean to be afraid at all. ”

"I say, get rid of all those people!" Bai Yan frowned and raised his voice again.

"But...... It seems that there is going to be a banquet in the inn, and the women who attended the banquet tonight are all high-ranking and powerful ladies in the Canglan Empire, the daughters of the Hubu Shangshu, the disciples of the Tiangang Sect, and even those few noble concubines have come out of the palace to visit, if we disperse by force, we will definitely be condemned by several major forces. ”

"It's a shame that you can figure it out, Miss Pian......" Bai Yan was silent for a long time, and took back the jade slip with a long sigh.

He knew whose idea it was, only Miss Mercy could have such influence, and in her capacity, no matter where the banquet was held, it would be greatly noticed.

The flying sword slowly slid in front of the inn, and Mo Xiaoyu, who was standing at the door, made a gesture of "please come in" with a smile: "Elder Bai Lai, you are here, and I have specially reserved a seat for you! The store is full of customers tonight, if it wasn't for Miss Pian's advice, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a seat to sit on!"

That "empathetic" face makes people want to print a shoe print on it.

"Miss Mercy is really everything. Bai Yan slowly stopped and nodded in thanks. At this point, there is no way out, and the two giants can only negotiate in this group of women.

Bai Yan recalled the first time he saw Miss Pian, what a noble and solemn woman she was, her purple shirt and body sitting upright at the end of the long table, her fierce gaze like thunder descending from the sky. Now it has become the appearance of this hob meat, maybe this is the family style of the Situ family?

......

......

The seats reserved for Bai Lai and Pei Huaiqian were VIP seats on the second floor, and Situ Lian had built this lifeless inn into a small palace in just one day, and the corridors on the stairs had newly installed several private rooms, which were magnificent and unusually quiet.

The light of the lights was dazzling, and the nobles of noble status stepped into their seats one by one from the door, their clothes were colorful and extravagant, and the attendants behind them were all powerful mysteries. The women were obviously familiar with each other, smiling and greeting the crowd around them.

The guests who could be invited to this banquet were all young ladies and nobles who were either rich or noble, and even a few noble concubines who lived in the palace were also present, chatting and laughing softly around a round table with a few old acquaintances of friends.

After a while, Situ Lian also appeared in person, and at the moment of her appearance, everyone present consciously stood up and saluted slightly, Situ Lian showed a friendly smile and signaled that everyone did not need to be restrained, just like in their own home. Then the woman walked back and forth between the tables, followed by a black-clad attendant lined up in a tray of clear jade-colored wine. She invited every guest to drink, and everyone present was amazed by Situ Lian's boldness.

Situ Lian rarely has this kind of opportunity to let go of drinking, and he is suspected of pretending to be public and private. is different from her in the eyes of ordinary people, Situ Lian has had a very serious alcohol addiction since a long time ago, and there is no chance to let go of her hands and feet when someone is in the palace, and now that no one is in charge, she naturally has to drink for a while, but she still has to control the amount, because she knows how bad her wine is.

Situ walked into the VIP box on the second floor with a smile, and greeted Bai Lai cordially: "Finally wait for Elder Bai Lai to come, it is really full of brilliance, tonight's drinks are all free, please let the elders go to eat and drink, don't get drunk and don't return." ”

Bai Yan clearly knew that she was pretending, but she still thanked her very politely: "Miss Lian came to Pingyang City to open a store, Bai naturally wants to come to cheer, but if you negotiate in this kind of place, isn't it a little too noisy?"

"There is a compartment on the third floor, I have cleaned up, that place is good, there is a big balcony, just to enjoy the night view, I believe the owner will be satisfied." Situ Lian smiled slightly, "With my credit guarantee, only the Sect Master and the Sword of Desecration can walk up that floor." ”

"Meet alone?"

"Meeting alone, I think that's what the master of the door meant, right?"

Bai Yan nodded heavily: "Yes, the door master said that no outsiders should be present when they met. So Miss Lian, do you mean that Elder Pei and I are here to attend the banquet?"

"This is just a small inn bought by a little woman on a whim, it's not a dangerous place, all the nobles of the Canglan Empire are gathered here tonight, which daring thief dares to make a mistake?" Situ Lian raised his eyebrows, "How can we pose any threat to you in this kind of place?"

Bai Yan was silent for a moment, and sighed faintly: "Miss Pian, you know a lot of secrets, you started to invest in us vigorously, also for the treasure of the Blood Emperor, right?" I thought it was an absolute secret that could not be spoken, but I didn't expect that so many people already knew about it. How many people and forces on this continent are still looking forward to unlocking the treasure of the Blood Emperor?"

"All the gates will be opened, all the cages will rot, all the blockades will be broken, but what is in the door will not die. Situ Lian still smiled, "This is the destiny of heaven, and it is beyond the power of man to stop it." ”

"Are you saying that one day the secret of the Blood Emperor will be completely revealed?"

"I don't know, and no one knows. If there really was such a thing as a mandate of heaven, I am afraid that he would have already arranged everything in the dark, and no one would be able to stop him, and no one would be able to make him change his mind. Our power is so small that we can only act according to His will and follow our instincts in the face of that Supreme Being. Situ Lian said meaningfully, "The day of the end is coming, and we can only sit and watch it happen, powerless to stop it." ”

"Miss Lian said it so well, there must be my teacher in the threesome, and Bai felt honored to hear so many instructive words from Miss Lian. Bai Yan bowed slightly.

"Elder Bai shouldn't be so restrained. Situ Lian suddenly smiled, and patted the old man's shoulder vigorously regardless of his demeanor, "Today is a private banquet, a place where you can't get drunk and don't return! It's a pity that there is no female companion who can take the shot tonight to serve you, if Elder Pei sitting over there is not your female companion, then I will find her a son-in-law to accompany her!

Bai Lai took the cup she handed over, and looked at Situ Lian's sometimes playful and sometimes deep pupils: "I just want to ask you one thing, did you suddenly come to Pingyang City, do you want to end the Evil Emperor and the Blood Emperor, or liberate them?"

Situ Lian smiled again: "Regarding this, I can assure you that no matter what my family's purpose is, until this moment, I am still your friend. I came to Leiyang County to send those two things back to where they should go, and the world is not where they should be. ”

"Okay, just for you, Bai respects you!"

"The little woman is really frightened. ”

Situ Lian slowly stretched out his hand, the two cups touched, Bai Yan drank all the liquor in the cup, and then did not shy away from anything, and said directly to the disciple at the door: "Everything is ready, the door master can enter." ”

Chu Zhong, who was standing at the door, nodded slightly, and shouted softly to the many disciples in front of him: "All disciples listen to the order, be ready for battle, and must not relax!"

......

......

Meng Changfeng, who was standing in the crowd, brushed his hair, dusted off the droplets on his hair, and silently watched the nobles in the house singing and laughing.

He had actually entered this inn, and he had disguised himself as Bai Lai's entourage disciple, and had been hiding in the shadows with his head bowed. No one would have thought that the disciples who followed behind were the most important, but Bai Yan and Pei Huaiqian in front were the ones who escorted them.

This morning, Meng Changfeng had already learned about the internal structure of the inn, the stairs to the third floor were not far ahead, and that floor was an absolute forbidden area tonight, and the plain white young man was sitting in that small cubicle waiting for him.

How many years have passed, their two brothers and enemies have come to this day, reunited under the presence and support of so many nobles, and finally do not need to fight between life and death, but can sit down and talk peacefully. As for whether someone would die in that compartment, Meng Changfeng didn't bother to think about it, there was still more than a quarter of an hour before the appointed time, and he still wanted to watch the performance here during this time.

He was a quiet and noisy person, and rarely attended any drinking banquets, but the environment here tonight made him feel a strange warmth.

Someone once said that loneliness is a person's carnival, and carnival is a person's loneliness, but when lonely people get together, it seems to be really warm, and Meng Changfeng, who is far away from the wine bureau, can feel the temperature on their bodies.

The guzheng pipa long Xiao sound through the noise in the crowd, empty and light, Qiu Qiong stood on the high platform in a light green dress, looking a little nervous, she timidly grabbed the corner of the skirt with both hands and looked at the crowd below, suddenly some fragmentary applause and cheers came from the crowd, and then a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the applause in the store exploded like thunder, Qiu Qiong seemed to finally muster up the courage and took a heavy breath.

White rose petals fell from the sky, a woman in a white dress fluttered down with the fall of the petals, slowly rotating around Qiu Qiong in the center of the stage, a woman in a light green dress closed her eyes, brushed her chest, and sang desolately.

"You'll know one day

Life wouldn't be different without me

Life has been rushed

I'm so scared and always teary-eyed

If you forget me, it doesn't hurt

Leave the past in the wind. ”

Qiu Qiong unexpectedly has a good voice, the petal lights fall eloquently, the woman in the center of the stage is quiet and poignant, this is a slow song, after listening to it, people have a quiet sadness in their hearts, Meng Changfeng recalled the sentence "Life is too rushed" over and over again, and suddenly understood why those guys chose this song.

Life is actually a very short thing, the life span of the Xuan is infinitely long, and the people who may accompany you are only a few on your fingers, and there are only three people who have accompanied him in Meng Changfeng's life, Chen Jianxian, Liu Yizhi and Meng Changxuan, now two of the three have become graves, and the other has become stranger to him.

He leaned against the wall behind him and hummed the song to Qiu Qiong's rhythm with a light expression. In the second-floor box not far away, Bai Yan also hummed the song with interest, his fingers tapping lightly on his thighs.

The maids set up a vat in the center of the stage and poured jar after jar of wine into the vat. There were so many drinks ordered tonight that they didn't have time to deliver them with limited manpower, so they had to pour all the wine into the jar, from which they could take it at will.

The guests not far away found Meng Changfeng sitting in the shadows, this young lady who didn't seem to know which big power it was, his eyes flowed. She probably mistakenly thought that Meng Changfeng was also a guest tonight, and the man in the store was either a waiter or a junior, with Meng Changfeng's appearance, it seemed unlikely, so he could only be an invited guest.

Meng Changfeng raised his wine glass from afar, drank it all, then took out a flower from the vase on his side and handed it to the radiant woman, smiled slightly, turned to leave, and walked down the stairs to the three floors where guests were not allowed to step in.

......

In the small room on the first floor of the inn, Meng Changxuan was grooming in the mirror, and Luo Tian was sitting on a chair watching with admiration in his eyes.

The whole process of Meng Changxuan's grooming in the mirror is like a literati and ink artist, you sit there and watch, feeling the changes of time and face, and your mood is as calm as the ripples of the river. He applied very light makeup, only using a very small amount of color, as the thin vermilion hooked into the eyebrows, the faint stone blue wiped the corners of his eyes, and the pale man in front of him once again showed the same bewitching beauty as before.

"Why don't you go to see him with your real side?" Luo Tian looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't want to go to him so weakly, as if I was going back to beg him for mercy. The person he wants to see today is the Sword of Blasphemy, and I will give him the person he wants, and only the number two person of Desecration has the energy to convince him. ”

Luo Tian was silent for a long time: "Actually, you are still a little cruel to your brother in your heart, right?"

Meng Changxuan suddenly stopped his hand, and his eyes changed in confusion: "Yes, I am relieved after saying so many performances, but how can I not hate? When I found out that I was a demon, when I was most desperate and helpless, the person I trusted the most in this world and should stand with me the most sent the blade of the sword into my chest. I'm doing these things for him, I'm willing to fall into a ghost just to protect him, I don't mind if I'm so dirty, but he doesn't mind...... He was so righteous and so radiant, he couldn't bear to let his brother become a sword ghost...... But we are relatives, the closest people in the whole world! If we were to play the roles reversed, even if we were enemies of the whole world for his sake, I would never let him run away alone...... But why did my brother kill me, he loved me so much before, and now he ...... me."

His voice began to tremble slightly, and at last he became silent, large tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and the delicate thin makeup was stained by tears, turning a gray and black patch.

Luo Tian could clearly feel that suffocating sadness was surging towards him, it was obvious that Meng Changxuan had been suppressing this emotion, but when he was about to meet his brother, he finally broke out uncontrollably.

After a while, it should be the time for him to negotiate with Meng Changfeng, but being in this sad mood is obviously not conducive to negotiation, and Luo Tian knows that he should persuade him. But his words were swallowed as soon as he reached his throat, he couldn't do it, he couldn't get those comforting words out, yes, if the person closest to you turned into a demon, would you be able to give up on him?

In the eyes of the relatives who love you the most, what a cruel and terrifying word for righteous annihilation, even the saints say that relatives are hidden, there is such a person or several people in this world who will make you desperate, and you can even give up justice and justice.

But did Meng Changfeng really do something wrong? Luo Tian didn't know, his head was a mess, he only felt that he hadn't missed Sister Yun so much for a long time, and he missed those ordinary days.

"I'm sorry, my personality is like this, I'm stunned when I act, I don't know when I will be brought into the role. Meng Changxuan wiped away his tears, gradually regained his composure, and began to touch up his makeup, "I cry and laugh at every turn, otherwise I will always be said that I look like a girl." ”
