Under Wei Chifeng's booze, most of the remaining half of the jar of wine of the man in black quickly bottomed out. Now that he has arrived at the "Holy Land of Wine," how can he give up easily? Another large jar of old wine with a few plates of snacks was sent to the table by Xiao Er. To say that Wei Chifeng is really a person with a good heart, it seems that he will not be nervous at any time.

Others weren't as carefree as he was. Although it is reasonable to analyze that the wedding banquet held in the Chixi Emperor's Mansion tonight is beneficial to the rescue action, but the large number of people also means that there are more variables. First of all, when saving people, you must not be discovered by the masters at the banquet, otherwise the strong enemy that needs to be dealt with at that time will not be the only one who is the Chixi Great Emperor Ji Yuqiu.

Yu Chifeng planned to only let Xiao Tianhe and Hua Qingyu sneak into the Chixi Emperor's Mansion together, firstly, to avoid the inconvenience of too many people, and secondly, just in case, when the situation was urgent, the demon clans in the two realms could be summoned to help. However, Xiao Tianhe was not worried about the situation outside the emperor's mansion, and he had to leave a few demon clans to protect the two people who were watching the wind outside. "Who should I keep?" Thinking about it, Xiao Tianhe slowly rotated the empty wine cup in his hand.

Zhao Xianglin, who was on the side, suddenly nudged him lightly and whispered: "Tianhe, the man in black before, I always feel that I seem to have met somewhere." ”

"Did you see his face?" Xiao Tianhe said in surprise.

"Not really, but ...... Did you hear it, he seemed to deliberately keep his voice down when he spoke. ”

"It's a bit of a duffle. But if you drink too much, your voice will be lowered, so why do you say it is deliberate?"

"Because he laughed out loud. You can lower your voice when you speak normally, but you can't completely suppress it when you laugh heartily, and you will always show some of your original voice. I always felt like I had heard his voice somewhere......" Zhao Xianglin said worriedly.

Wei Chifeng heard the conversation between the two and lazily persuaded: "Hey, don't worry too much. As long as the man in black isn't Ji Yuqiu himself, it's fine!"

"What if it's Ji Yuqiu's friend or subordinate who deliberately tricks us into going to the imperial mansion to throw ourselves into the net?" He Tianyao said.

"Hehe, even if he didn't 'deceive' us, we would have to 'throw ourselves into the net', what's the difference? Besides, the premise of 'deceiving' us is that Ji Yuqiu has already discovered that we have arrived in Yanxuan City, otherwise this speculation will not be valid at all. Yu Chifeng said with a smile.

However, the stakes are high, the more careful the better, Xiao Tianhe couldn't sit still: "Brother Wei Chi, no matter what, the news that there will be a wedding banquet in the Chixi Emperor's Mansion comes from a person I don't know before, and it's not a bad thing to be suspicious." The Red Emperor is about to marry his third wife, and it stands to reason that the wedding should be held in all directions and congratulated by thousands of people, but since I entered Yanxuan City, I haven't felt the 'grand' and 'lively' atmosphere at all, don't you think it's strange?"

"That's right, just that Yin Liping's wedding made the entire Luoxia City full of lights, gongs and drums, and the characters with heads and faces gathered from all directions, and there were many people who watched the excitement to crowd the huge Luoxia City. In contrast, Yan Crossbow City, as the imperial capital, was too calm. He Tianyao said.

Wei Chifeng replied arrogantly: "Maybe it's 'one side of the water and soil, one side of the customs'." I just don't think there's any need for that person to lie to us. Anyway, it's still some time before the night, so if you don't feel at ease, you might as well go to the street and ask. I'll be lazy and drink here a little longer. ”

Xiao Tianhe smiled helplessly, looking at his gluttonous and lazy appearance, it was really difficult to associate it with the words "array master".

"It's nice to go around the city, it's boring to sit here and watch him drink. "Hua Qingyu said.

Wei Chifeng grinned and continued to pour wine.

As soon as they came out of Yuyu Alley, several people were stopped by the long queue of carriages. The convoy stretched from the foot of the Red Lotus Mountain to the Chixi Emperor's Mansion at the top of the mountain. Each carriage was loaded with goods, but all of them were covered with red cloth and red belts. For some reason, the carriage stood still.

Several people looked at each other, and it seemed that the wedding was indeed true.

Xiao Tianhe stepped forward and asked an old coachman, "Uncle, what are you sending to the imperial mansion?"

The coachman squinted and said, "Young man, you are from out of town, right? Tonight is the wedding of the Emperor, don't you know?"

"Oh, I know. But I've never seen anyone deliver congratulatory gifts in such a large convoy. ”

"Who said this was a congratulatory gift? These cars are all high-end banquet ingredients sent by restaurants in nearby towns, and there is no decent restaurant in Yanxuan City, whenever there is a banquet, it is held in a nearby town. But this time it was the emperor who married, so how could he do it if he wasn't in the imperial capital? This is the first wave, and all we are sending are what we want to eat at the banquet tonight, and the convoy behind us is still long. No, because there are too many carriages, the speed of entering the house one by one is too slow, and it is jammed here. The old man replied in great detail.

"The dignified imperial capital, how can there not even be a decent restaurant?" He Tianyao felt very strange.

"Hey, it's not because the Emperor is not good at this! This Red Lotus Mountain is a rock mountain, and Yanxuan City is not a key point that extends in all directions, well, a mountain road leads from the bottom to the top, it is a dead end, and when you reach the Imperial Palace, it is the end of the dead end......" The old coachman suddenly realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly chirped to himself, "Bah, no, it is not a dead end, and the Emperor's mansion is not the end of a dead end!"

"Uncle, it's just a word, don't care. Zhao Xianglin said with a smile.

"Then I'll go on. Our Emperor doesn't like to go to a restaurant to eat and drink when you have nothing to do, and it is more meaningful to cultivate the formation than to eat and drink, isn't it? Our Red Emperor Capital Yan Crossbow City is famous not by a large number of people, not by the excitement, but by this magic circle all over the city! You don't know how complicated and complicated the magic circle in Yan Crossbow City is, how powerful and powerful it is, it is all laid by the residents of the city themselves. So if you want to settle down in Yanxuan City, you can't do it at all if you don't have some ability in the way of formation! So don't look at the few people in our city, all of them are formation masters...... Hey, by the way, do you want to visit the various magic circles in the city when you come here? Then I have to remind you, our magic circles in Yanxuan City are all residents

If you really want to learn, you can try to report my name of 'Iron Foot Wu Laosan', I have many acquaintances in Yanxuan City. If you don't rely on personal connections, hmph, don't even think about it. I remember that there was a person who planned to buy ...... at a high price, "The old coachman may have been bored of waiting, and he talked exaggeratedly, and every time he mentioned "Yan Crossbow City", he added a "we" in front of it, and seemed to forget that he was not from this city.

Seeing that the old man was getting more and more energetic as he spoke, Xiao Tianhe hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, old man, thank you very much, we still have something to do, so let's leave first." ”

"Oh, don't talk any longer?" said the old coachman, who was still a little reluctant.

Several people smiled at him and said goodbye.

After leaving, He Tianyao shook his head and sighed: "What a surging sense of pride." ”

"I think it's a 'good inflated' pride, right?" Xiao Tianhe also thought the old man was quite interesting, "It's good that Brother Wei Chi didn't come along, otherwise he wouldn't have spit out all the wine he had just drunk when he heard the boast about the formation just now!"

After laughing, Zhao Xianglin said: "Since the news of the wedding is true, we don't have to continue to inquire." Where do we go next?"

"Or ...... Let's go to the Chixi Emperor's Mansion and have a look?" Xiao Tianhe made a rather bold suggestion.

Zhao Xianglin asked, "Do you want to pretend to be watching the excitement and get in?"

"You don't have to pretend, we're just here to watch the fun. Let's go!" Xiao Tianhe took the lead and took a big step.

In the afternoon, there were no people to be seen on the approach road to the Imperial Palace, but by this time it had become very crowded, and the motorcade occupied most of the road, leaving only a wide and narrow space for people to walk. Pedestrians gathered in groups of three or five, talking and laughing and heading towards the imperial palace.

After observing, Hua Qingyu was a little puzzled: "These people are so strange, they don't wear costumes when they go to the ceremony, and there are still people wearing black clothes." ”

"Wouldn't it be better? He Tianyao said.

"I think that in addition to being lustful, the Red Emperor Ji Yuqiu seems to be a low-key person. Combined with the various news that has been obtained, Xiao Tianhe made the above judgment.

He Tianyao agreed: "That's right, and he's a guy who behaves strangely, and he doesn't like good food and wine." If you don't like it, don't let the people in the city enjoy it. I think he must be selfish. ”

"Not really, at least there's still Yuyu Alley. Besides, he just doesn't like the people in Yancrossbow City to eat, drink and enjoy themselves, not that he is strictly forbidden. Looking at 'selfishness' from another angle, it can also be said that he is very rigorous. Hua Qingyu has a praising position on this.

He Tianyao shook his head: "Anyway, he has married so many wives, he is definitely not a good person." ”

"I have no objection to this, the womanizer is the most hateful!" Hua Qingyu waved his fist.

Xiao Tianhe sighed in his heart, thinking about it carefully, among his former and current best friends and companions, there are not a few people who have suffered misfortune because of their beauty: Tang Junhe, Hua Qingyu, Zhao Xianglin, Ye Linglong, and Gu Wanting, who has never met, have all brought themselves a painful experience because of their beauty, no wonder people in the world often sigh "How thin life is since ancient times".

Nearing one’s end. Several people came to the gate of the Red Emperor's Mansion. It is not appropriate to say that it is a "gate", because there is a door hole in the wall, but there is no door leaf! This made several people really surprised, and in this way, the "gate" of the imperial palace is equivalent to being open forever. What's even more strange is that there is not even a single guard here, only the words "red" and "熛" written on the left and right walls reveal to people the extraordinary nature of this mansion.

The dignified emperor's mansion has no gate and no guards. To put it mildly, the precautions here are basically the same as those on the streets. I really don't know whether to say that the Chixi Emperor Ji Yuqiu is too domineering, or whether to say that he is too broad-hearted.

After casually entering the imperial palace, the convoy and the crowd split into two ways. The spectators all went around to the main courtyard, while the motorcade continued to the inner courtyard.

To say that the main courtyard of the Chixi Emperor's Mansion was really large enough, far more than the central square of any state city that several people had been to before. For tonight's wedding, a few feet high platform was erected in the middle of the venue, with VIP seating on the periphery of the platform, and an open space reserved for the newlyweds to worship the church. Rows of long tables and benches were neatly arranged under the stage, and many people were already sitting densely on the stools. It seems that the whole city is almost here. But the courtyard is too spacious, and even then there is still a lot of open space left, and according to the standard of the number of people in Yanxuan City, it can still accommodate the people of two or three more cities. The sky above the yard is horizontal, vertical and oblique, and there are all kinds of happy lights hanging on it, illuminating the yard as if it were day. It was only at this time that Xiao Tianhe and the others felt the festive atmosphere of the wedding.

Listening to people's conversations, this wedding officially started at two o'clock tonight, so at this time, the guests and the protagonists of the wedding have not yet arrived, and there is nothing to see if they stay in the courtyard. "Let's go to the inner courtyard and have a look. "Xiao Tian Dao. If the situation in the inner courtyard can be clarified, the rescue operation at night will be more secure and smoother.

Like the gate, there were no guards in the imperial palace except for the subordinates who were busy running back and forth.

"Relying on a little formation, it's completely undefended, it's really good!" He Tianyao praised and depreciated.

"The more this happens, the more careful we have to be. If he dares not to defend himself, it proves that the defensive formation in the mansion is very strong!" Xiao Tianhe said.

"What's the use of being stronger?" Zhao Xianglin guessed, "In order to put all the guests into the mansion, I'm afraid the defense array has been removed, right?"

It's true that defensive formations don't work in the same way as offensive formations. An offensive formation is an attack on those who enter the formation and is ineffective against those from the outside, while a defensive formation is an attack against an attack from the outside and is ineffective against those inside the formation. In other words, as soon as the enemy breaks into the defensive position, the defensive position is already ineffective. However, there is only one legitimate way to break into the defenses - to destroy the defenses with a powerful attack. Therefore, the weakness of "break in and fail" is actually meaningless to the defensive position. Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, just like when Ye Linglong was in the Yaoming Forest of the Zongpiao Realm, he set up a defensive formation in order to resist the black flying squirrel group that was digging into the mountain, but in the end he was attacked by the black flying squirrel from the underground hole. This situation is in the case of people and people

It is almost impossible for a duel between people to occur.

Followed the convoy into the inner courtyard, good guys, the inner courtyard seems to be larger than the main courtyard, and the garden pond and the corridor of the annex are extremely complicated, and near the top of the mountain in the distance are the residences of the ladies in the backyard, and a row of neat small buildings occupy the flat place on the top of the mountain.

Unexpectedly, not far from the garden, a person suddenly ran out of a small door on the courtyard wall and stopped in front of several people, startling several people. The man saw that several people were faced, and they did not follow the convoy, so he asked vigilantly: "Hey, who are you? What are you doing in the inner courtyard?" Seeing that his outfit should only be a servant in the palace, several people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"I'm sorry, little brother, we are ......" Hua Qingyu was just about to prevaricate on the grounds that he came to watch the ceremony and was not familiar with the situation in the mansion, but was interrupted by Xiao Tianhe: "We are the 'iron legs' behind...... Ah, no, it's a friend of 'Iron-footed Wu Laosan', who came to Fuzhong with his carriage to help. His carriage is still stuck in the mountain road, so let's get to the backyard first......"

"Oh, it turned out to be Wu Laosan, he was quite caring, and he knew that the house was busy today, so he brought a few more people. "To say that the face of "Iron-footed Wu Laosan" is really not small, even the servants in the emperor's mansion know him. The man really hit the plan: "Then come with me quickly, the ladies' feast is about to begin, and there is a shortage of manpower!"

"Okay! It's started, everyone work hard!" Xiao Tianhe rolled up his sleeves and winked at a few people.

Led by the servant, the four of them quickly passed through the front of the complex inner courtyard and came to the vicinity of the hilltop where the backyard was located.

"Well, you go over there to help, and bring the food and drinks to the back seat. The servant pointed to a large room, and judging by the sound of the oil pot coming from inside, it should be a kitchen, "Be careful when you go up and down the stairs, don't spill the food!"

"Hehe, it's so easy to get in. Xiao Tianhe snickered.

"It's a shame that you can think of moving out of Wu Laosan. He Tianyao gave him a thumbs up, "You are bold enough to dare to come to the backyard directly." ”

Xiao Tianhe said proudly: "We have been to the main courtyard, and that platform can't sit on Ji Yuqiu's 'second wife, thirty-six concubines, seventy-two maids' or something, don't the female dependents have to drink the wedding wine? So I can almost conclude that there must be a deputy in the backyard! The feast is about to begin, and the carriages are still stuck there, so there must be a shortage of manpower in the house. It really helped us a lot to give it a try, and now we just need to find out which one the cave room is. ”

"Do you still need to find this? isn't it?" Zhao Xianglin pointed diagonally ahead, where an elegant three-story building that seemed to have been newly built stood there. The eaves of the building not only pull the big red flowers, but also hang the double happiness lamp under the eaves.

Although the cave room was found, the bride was definitely not in the cave room before the wedding.

"Okay, although the route just now is complicated, let's recall it together, and I believe it will not be a problem to go out of the house. It's useless to stay here for a long time, so let's go back to find Yu Chifeng. "Xiao Tian Dao.

On the way out of the Emperor's Mansion, He Tianyao suddenly smacked his lips and sighed: "Tsk, if you want to say that Ji Yuqiu is really good to the ladies, the buildings in the backyard of the entire Chixi Emperor's Mansion look the most gorgeous and comfortable." ”

"What, do you want to stay and be the seventy-third maid?" Zhao Xianglin joked.

"Haha, my 'maid', where can people look at it!"

......

Since there were no guards, the way out of the house was naturally smooth. To say that the garrison of this Red Emperor Mansion is really too loose, it can't even compare to the ordinary suburban mountain villas. In the minds of several people, tonight's rescue is nine out of ten.

When I returned to the entrance of Yujiu Alley, it was already completely dark. The liquor shops in the alley also closed early. But when a few people walked to the end of the alley talking and laughing, they were surprised to find that Wei Chifeng, who was supposed to be sitting there drinking, was gone!

Looking around, the doors of the liquor stores were closed, and even the lights in the houses were turned off. At this moment, there were only four of them in the entire Yujiu Alley.

"This guy, where did he run around at the critical moment?" Zhao Xianglin was a little anxious.

Hua Qingyu guessed: "It can't be that you got drunk and got lost, right?"

He Tianyao didn't believe it: "Impossible." He must be a good drinker, and he must not be drunk during the time we are away. I guess I was in a hurry, so I went out of the alley to find us. ”

"Just wait here, what are you looking for everywhere? He doesn't know where we went, he will definitely go wrong!" Zhao Xianglin was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

Zhao Xianglin's words reminded Xiao Tianhe: "No, maybe he really guessed where we went." Let's go, most of him is already in the Red Emperor's Mansion at this time!"

So, several people hurriedly rushed out of Yuji Alley. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got out of the alley, Xiao Tianhe collided with Wei Chifeng, who was about to turn into the alley.

"Where did you go!" Zhao Xianglin asked dissatisfiedly.

"I'm going to do some shopping. Wei Chifeng looked innocent.

Zhao Xianglin couldn't cry or laugh: "When is it, do you still have the heart to go shopping?"

"Oh, don't worry. You went to the Imperial Mansion to explore the way, and I happened to go and buy some things for the array. Wei Chifeng explained.

Xiao Tianhe asked suspiciously: "The wedding is about to start, and there are still shops that haven't closed?"

"Oh, I just finished drinking that jar of wine when the liquor shop closed, so it's not too late to get out of the alley. After purchasing it, I inadvertently looked at the western sky, just when the sunset was full of sunset, the magnificent crimson of the sky corresponded to the red lotus mountain at my feet, and there was a beautiful scenery. Wei Chifeng said slowly.

"So you ......"

"I enjoyed the sunset a little. ”

Although Wei Chifeng is a master and a senior, not only does he not have a sense of respect, but he always makes people feel unreliable. A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and then they shook their heads together and sighed: "Alas......"
