In the large battalion of the front.

Liu Ruiying returned to his tent, but it was difficult to sleep peacefully no matter what.

Instead of tossing and turning in bed, get up and think about something.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruiying got out of bed again and lit the lamp again.

He looked at the candles on the desk, and unconsciously remembered that when he was young in the Investigation Division, he secretly went out of the room with his partner at the same time at night and traveled at night with candles.

That night, as tonight, they were undressed and asleep.

But the moonlight of that night was much brighter and warmer than tonight.

The moonlight shone into the lattice, and he whispered to his roommate, who shared a candle and crept out.

The curfew of the Investigation Division is the responsibility of the Ministry of Prohibition and is very strict.

The Forbidden Province is different from others in that it is only in charge of the internal affairs of the Investigation Division, so it is called the Investigation Division of the Investigation Division. It also has a slightly different rank setting from the other ellipses, with only four levels. Under the provincial patrol and provincial festival is the provincial judgment and provincial judgment.

There are a total of 333 squads in the Forbidden Province, and each squad is led by a provincial judge, with Liang Ming as the deputy.

Liu Ruiying and other young people inevitably feel depressed in the boring study and training day after day in the Investigation Division, so they know that the consequences are serious, but they still insist on finding a thrill.

The two of them walked against the base of the wall like geckos swimming against the wall, and along the way, they also had to dodge the patrol team of the forbidden province.

Although he was caught in the end and ate a board, this experience really made him laugh every time he thought about it.

It's just that now there are no partners around, and the moonlit night is not as pure as before.

Liu Ruiying wanted to sigh, but remembered the poem that Huo Wang read to herself before returning to the tent. ”

"It is not surprising that the spring is full of snow and flies freeze to death. ”

The first half of the sentence is not difficult to understand, it is talking about the wind and snow scene of the cold spring in Dingzhou. But the second half of the sentence is a little intriguing...... He always felt that Huo Wang was alluding to something.

"Could it be...... He Youjian is like a fly......"

Liu Ruiying thought for a long time and still didn't have a clue, so she shook her head and was about to fall asleep again, but she heard a sound of footsteps at the door.

"Liu Xingqi?"

It was the voice of Qin Lou Chang.

Liu Ruiying opened the door tent, welcomed it into the tent, and the two sat down as guests.

"What's the matter with Lou Chang Qin coming here late at night?"

Liu Ruiying didn't care about a lot of hospitality, and asked directly.

There was inevitably a little nervousness in his expression.

"But there is something important. ”

Lou Chang Qin took out two brightly colored invitations and handed one of them to Liu Ruiying.

"It's ......"

Liu Ruiying saw a few big characters on the cover of the invitation: Dingxi Wang Zhijiu Jiying Town. When I opened it again, it was empty except for the word tomorrow.

"What does Lou Chang Qin think about this?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"I feel that the king of Dingxi just wants to hold a banquet tomorrow to work for the army and the people, so as to regroup and buy people's hearts. may also take this opportunity to appoint a new governor, after all, the army cannot be without a commander for a day. Otherwise, the dragons will be leaderless, and won't the enemy have an opportunity to take advantage of it?"

Qin Lou stroked his beard that was not long and said.

Liu Ruiying looked at this movement and wanted to laugh.

He didn't understand why it seemed to have become a convention and a sign for anyone who was older to speak with such a gesture. If anyone doesn't, then what they say must be weightless or even incorrect.

"Then Qin Lou Chang thinks, who is most likely to become the new governor at the moment?"

Liu Ruiying then asked.

Obviously, this question is not as easy to answer as the previous one.

Qin Lou thought for a while, but still didn't speak.

"Well, it's not our business, let's talk about how to participate in this wine. Qin Lou has been in the Dingxi Royal Domain for a long time, can he have experience to teach?"

Hearing this, Qin Lou Chang smiled bitterly and said: "Although it is not the first time that this Dingxi King has held a drinking party, it is often in the Dingxi King City, but it has nothing to do with my Dingzhou Station Building, so I don't have much experience in the next place...... However, it is the first time that a drinking party has been held outside of the royal city. ”

After hearing this, Liu Ruiying also felt that what Qin Lou Chang said was true.

In order to show respect for the five kings of the world, the Investigation Division did not set up a station in the royal city of the Five Kings.

In this way, tomorrow has two unprecedented.

For the first time, the king of Dingxi held a drinking party outside the royal city.

For the first time, the king of Dingxi invited the people of the Investigation Division to the drinking party.

"Only you and me were invited to the Investigation Division?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Definitely. There are two invitations, one is held by Liu Xingqi alone, and the other is shared by the Dingzhou Station Department. ”

Liu Ruiying nodded.

In terms of system, he is subordinate to the headquarters of the Central Capital Investigation Division, and he is in the same vein as the Dingzhou Investigation Division.

invisibly gave himself face, and did not embarrass the people in the Investigation Division of Dingzhou Station.

It's just one night, and it's a bit too hasty.

Liu Ruiying faintly looked forward to tomorrow's event, and didn't know what it would be like. And just as he was talking to Qin Lou Chang, the Xuan Crow Army and thousands of government soldiers had already been dispatched to prepare for tomorrow's cocktail party.

On the official road outside the city of Dingzhou Prefecture.

Tang Zhongsong and a person next to him led the horse Xu Xing.

"Childe, you don't know, the price of this insect is skyrocketing now. Last year, the bronze tooth iron general was only ten taels, but the small one only learned that this year's market is fifty taels......"

Park Jung-hong said.

Tang Zhongsong finally met Park Jung-hong halfway.

Park Zhenghong saw that Gongzi came to look for him, and his heart was also warm, and he couldn't help but feel sour.

was about to speak, but Tang Zhongsong shook his head gently. He immediately understood that he didn't talk about it in his heart, but only talked about this worm.

But when he heard these words in Tang Zhongsong's ears, he didn't mean that.

"This year's employment price in Yuezhou Sword Repair is five times higher than last year's. ”

This is the true meaning of Park Jung-hong's words, but others don't know at all.

"It's so expensive, do you have to test the disadvantage of that tooth and mouth, don't be deceived!"

Tang Zhongsong said.

Similarly, when he heard this, Park Zhenghong's ears were indicated: "Is the level of sword cultivation guaranteed? Don't be deceived." ”

"What Childe said is extreme, but the small one has found a good local tooth shop as a guarantee to explore the way, and I don't think I will be deceived. (I found a very reputable local guarantor in Yuezhou, and there should be no problem.) ）

"Hmm... You must know that some insects look good, but they can't open their teeth, and they can't use it!"

Tang Zhongsong said.

Despite Park Jung-hong's assurances, he still has lingering palpitations.

After all, a character who could kill Shi Yifeng with a fast sword suddenly appeared in Yuezhou, how could he look at it as a mere silver two.

Such a person has been, can no longer be measured in money.

He is willing to take Park Zhenghong's single shot to kill Shi Yifeng, it must be because of a deeper willingness.

Tang Zhongsong saw that Park Zhenghong was injured, so he didn't ask much, but the six words that came out of Park Zhenghong's mouth were cold, but he trembled.

"The Book of Absolute Sound is going to kill me. ”

Tang Zhongsong knew that the Jueyin Book was in Dingzhou.

In fact, the Jueyin Book came to Dingzhou and was specially invited by the Liuguang Pavilion.

However, they brought back the storyteller's book, but it was not the killer's book.

For a while, Tang Zhongsong didn't know why he wanted Park Zhenghong in the Jueyin book. Whose order did they take, and whose money did they receive? This is clearly directed at oneself.

Tang Zhongsong didn't ask Park Zhenghong how he got out, and he just wanted to return to Dingzhou Mansion as soon as possible.

Inside Jiying Town.

Tang Ming stayed up all night, urging the army to arrange and prepare for a drinking party in Jiying Town.

It wasn't until the East was exposed that it would be cleaned up.

The camp where Liu Ruiying and others are located is still more than ten miles away from here.

In view of the fact that the time was not stated on the invitation, Liu Ruiying and Qin Lou discussed but left early.

After all, you can wait if you come early, but if you come late...... It's going to be bad.

In fact, when everyone freshened up and dressed up properly and arrived at the cocktail party in Jiying Town, it was already close to noon. It's not that they are procrastinating, but it is the first time they have participated in such a grand event held by the king of Dingxi himself, and it is inevitable that they will not have to worry a few times.

Liu Ruiying held the invitation card in his hand and waited for the Xuan Crow Army to check it before entering the field.

Seeing that the entire venue is not fenced, it gives people a sense of complete arrogance.

Looking along the foot, it is paved with many layers of soft light Luo, stepping on it as if treading water, it is difficult to control the balance if you are not careful.

There are a total of 777 desks with tables at the front end of the venue and 4,728 deskless desks at the back.

A Xuan Crow sergeant led Liu Ruiying forward and took a seat in the first row of the table desk, while the head of the Qin Lou led the rest of his comrades from the Dingzhou Station Building to sit in the eighth row.

Liu Ruiying sat on a long fairy wood three-screen couch chair, with a verdant bluestone piano table in front of him, and a black lacquer openwork bronzing table next to the table. On the left hand side of the table is a set of colorful plum blue and white tea sets, and a few southern fruits on the upper right are served in a cloisonné enamel safflower gentleman fruit plate, next to a Paula blue fruit needle of the same texture. There is a purple sandalwood green dragon eight orific incense burner on the small table, and there is also a phoenix coral cloud pattern lamp, which is extremely luxurious.

Liu Ruiying looked back and found that the front desk area was all configured in this way, thinking that Huo Wangmo hadn't moved his palace here, but after a closer look, he found that there were no tableware and wine utensils.

There is a high platform in front of it, but at this moment, in front of the stage is surrounded by an eight-folded brass nanmu primrose-colored carved silk glass screen.

Liu Ruiying carefully lifted the lid of the teapot, and a refreshing fragrance suddenly spread.

"Ten kinds of brocade. ”

Liu Ruiying saw a piece of red paper under the teapot, with the name of the tea written on it.

Looking at the tea soup in the pot again, the color can be described as a fierce competition, and I can't help but be amazed again and again.

As the name suggests, it is made by selecting the stamens of ten kinds of flowers from January to October according to the flowering period within a year, which is a kind of flower tea.

It is roughly the same as the general flower tea production method, which is jacquard, cellar flower, and embossing, but it is one step less to lay the foundation.

Moreover, the cellar time of the ten kinds of brocade is generally not less than three to five years, and in the process of cellaring, the ten kinds of stamens are like water milk blending with each other, and the lips and teeth depend on each other. The ten flower traits are also integrated with each other, such as winter plum and autumn chrysanthemum, azalea and jasmine...... After making ten kinds of brocade from this, in addition to the taste of dust, it is a rare tonic.

Liu Ruiying slowly finished tasting a cup, smacked her lips, and suddenly felt an endless aftertaste.

Gradually, all sides of his house were filled with people, all of whom were civil and military officials from Dingzhou Mansion and Dingxi Palace.

Many people arrived overnight with Pegasus, especially civil officials who did not practice martial arts, and their faces were tired.

There is no desk in the rear, but all of them are people from the five border towns.

At this time, I saw that the northwest corner was crowded, and Huo Wang, the king of Dingxi, appeared on the scene.

He was unarmoured and armed with an unsheathed star sword.

Wearing an ochre-colored Tianxiang silk robe, a leather jacket of the same color, and a dark blue dragon-patterned brocade belt tied around his waist, he looked at everyone and smiled.

When all the officials saw the arrival of King Dingxi, they all stood up to greet him, while the people in the rear kowtowed and worshipped.

After Huo Wangbu came to the stage, he ordered the Xuanya Army on the left and right to remove the barrier, revealing a huge bronze cloud leg snail table with snail teeth, and a cloud dragon holding longevity mahogany Zen chair was placed behind it.

But in front of the table, there stood an ordinary iron shelf, on which hung a skeleton.

Huo Wang stood on the stage, stretched out his hand and pointed at the skeleton and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

"Please make it clear. ”

Everyone shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.

Liu Ruiying didn't know either, but she felt very crazy.

Yesterday, I had ordered the Xuan Crow Army to debone his body, chop it into a meat puree and feed it to the wild dogs. Today, in front of all of you, I will give 300 lashes to the rebellious whip of the rebels who colluded with the grassland royal court, so that I can solve the hatred of the people of the five border towns. I hope to make amends to all the people here!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Huo Wang actually bow down to the front.

This move immediately made the people in the rear cry again and again, and they were moved to tears.

Even Liu Ruiying didn't expect Huo Wang to be able to do this.

Since ancient times, he can't punish doctors, and he can't pay tribute to people, Huo Wang's move is comparable to the king's guilt. It is really the way of sages and wise kings, and it is quite a legacy of the ancients.

The civil officials and Confucians present nodded their heads one after another, showing approval on their faces.

Then, the two Xuan Crow Army sergeants held the cowhide hard whips that had crossed the water, and opened their bows left and right, ruthlessly abstracting He Youjian's bones.

After a few lashes, the bones began to shatter.

The nearest official was even bounced in the face by the broken bones that splashed everywhere and landed in the cup, but he didn't dare to move.

Liu Ruiying looked at the old civil officials with white beards again, they were all shocked by this scene and closed their eyes, and their mouths were full of sins......

In contrast, the people in the rear were much calmer.

I'm afraid this is also the first time that the three religions and nine streams, the five elements and eight have gone to the banquet together.

In the Five Kingdoms, people's status is strictly divided by occupation.

Among them, the nine streams are divided into the upper nine streams, the middle nine streams, and the lower nine streams.

For example, princes and nobles, ministers and hermits, literary giants, farmers, merchants, and peddlers, these are all ninth-rate.

Scholars, Langzhong, the so-called half-immortals, etc., are the middle and ninth streams.

As for the lower ninth rate, it is the likes of prostitutes who everyone hates, and the generation of chickens and dogs.

The three religions, on the other hand, do not refer to the three specific religions.

It is a general term for the three types of arts: literature, martial arts, and art.

Liu Ruiying is martial arts, and Ren Yang loves cooking while martial arts, which is across the dual ways of martial arts and art.

After the flogging, there was only one skeleton left on the shelf, and the torso had been completely crushed.

This is, the Xuan Crow Army began to put wine vessels for everyone.

An azure-colored hollow cup with an unknown jade liquid in it

Huo Wang stood in the middle of the high platform again, raised a glass of wine, cleared his throat and said.

"The wind is cold in Dingxi, Dingzhou is steep, the wolf smoke is vertical and horizontal, and the flag is held high.

Today, I drank with all the kings, feeling the remnants of the bloody war in the past, and ordered the singers to sing for a long time, and the dancers to dance vigorously, misremembering yesterday, and still being terrified.

Yu, wielding the wolf's sword, the power of the west, inheriting the support of the five states, forever solidifying the river.

Looking up at the seventy-three towns in our five prefectures, loyal and righteous people are like rows and rows; on the other hand, the million-strong army of our five prefectures is like a carp crossing the river.

However, He Youjian sold Dingzhou, hooked up foreign enemies, disrupted people's livelihood, and disturbed the border passes.

Although the thief is dead, the walls are broken, and his demeanor is completely ruined.

Fortunately, as soon as possible, everyone returned to their hometown, and their hearts were a little more peaceful.

There are those who gather the town, the head of the five realms of the border pass, and gather the talents of the world, and the war is impermanent.

Anti-wolf riding, protect the township.

There is a way to open your chest and show your courage, carry a knife and dance to rob, wave the flag and fall, and look far away.

What is the fear of a wolf rider? A swift sword and a war horse, galloping at will! Iron and blood dyed the banner for thousands of miles, and the flat sand covers the sunset.

Pity me Dingxi Haolang, relying on the fence in my heart infinitely sad. Listen to the sound of hundreds of years of golden drums, and watch the 20,000-mile Xiongguan Mandao.

Today, the wine dragon is flying on the seat, the tea phoenix is staggering, the flowers can be made into a spoon, and the nest is a spoon. You and I should be the heroes of the empty grassland, and do not think about the aftermath of the rise and fall.

The three-foot sword swings the wind and clouds, and the world is shocked; the seven-foot gun turns the world upside down, and he is not drunk in this life.

Unprovoked melancholy, sighing when the wolf ride will be wiped out, dare not raise your voice, lest the will of heaven will be difficult to allow the passage of the year.

However, there will be a period of prosperity, and the prosperity will last forever.

Drink the fine wine of the present and get drunk on his young travel

The scholar is dressed in white and wins the snow, writing articles by sages, and the general is wrapped in armor and plays a thunderbolt of blood.

The old people are still there, the mountains and rivers are unharmed, the peaks and peaks are still the same, and they are still normal.

The light voice of the cloud peak is curling, and the gold and iron intersect.

After the last wish of the ancestors, the old enemy was defeated in the middle of the night

After years on the battlefield, death and life are separated, and the wine is helpless to catch the snow in the wind, and the blood-stained robe and soul have not disappeared.

Twenty years of homecoming, where is not homecoming?

Seven thousand people rode their horses, where did they get King Kong?

At the moment, the sun is full of heroes, full of heroes, and full of heroes.

I feel inspired and rejoiced, as if I am in the prime of life!

Good ancients, you don't have to mind.

Please drink and sing, and have a hard time!

Then, Huo Wang took a large bowl of wolf blood wine handed over by the Xuan Crow Army and drank it all.

There is a civil official recorded on the spot, entitled Dingxi Wang Jiying Town Liquor Fu.

Since then, Jiying Town has also become one of the symbols of the Dingxi Domain, and with Huo Wang's article on the purchase of wine, it has spread all over the world in a few days.

Liu Ruiying saw that the old Confucians who still disagreed with Huo Wang's whipping of the corpses and bones just now, but now they were as excited as if they had heard the voice of the sage.

He really didn't expect that Huo Wang would have such attainments in Wenyidao, it seems that there is indeed no one in the world who is good at matching.

"I didn't expect that the prince was proud of the martial arts, but he was also a meritorious member in the Wendao lineage!"

Liu Ruiying stepped forward to toast Huo Wang.

"Haha, Liu Xingqi should not wear a high hat for this king. This king has just wasted some years and wasted some time, and the rise and fall of the world in the future still has to wait for you to wait for the young heroes to resist. ”

Huo Wang was in a good mood today, and even patted Liu Ruiying on the shoulder as he spoke. ，

Between the ups and downs of the palms, a few faint rays of energy drilled into the body along the shoulder wells, and even the True Yang Yujing Sword in the Huang Ting did not have any sense.

After three rounds of wine, the sergeant of the Xuan Crow Army came to set the plate and serve the food.

Looking at the palms that are the size of the fan, they are doing such a meticulous thing at the moment, and they feel full of contrasting joy no matter what.

But if they say that their hands may have killed someone just this morning, and now they are serving you food, I don't know how many others will be able to eat it. This combination of boldness and delicacy really makes Liu Ruiying feel extremely interesting and worthwhile.

A pair of ivory chopsticks inlaid with gold and silver buns, heavy in the hand, and the sound of touching the agate plate is very crisp and pleasant.

There are not many dishes, but everything is very exquisite.

Especially a japonica lotus seed porridge, thick and humid, sweet and delicious, protect the stomach before drinking, and reduce the fire after drinking, so that Liu Ruiying is still unsatisfied.

After the five flavors of the dish, the sergeant of the Xuan Crow Army has set up the bell and drum, and a piece of target paper has been hung. Similarly, there are a lot of meanders for civil servants to entertain themselves, but there are also a lot of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.

"Tang Ming, where is your son now?"

Huo Wang asked.

"The dog and his mother are still in the Dingzhou Prefecture. ”

Tang Ming was nervous, and the wine he drank just now instantly turned into a cold sweat.

"Send someone to bring your son quickly, such a grand event is to have more young talents. Otherwise, what fun is there in teasing each other with a handful of old bones? besides, I rewarded him with wine in your house that day, but I can also redeem it today!"

Huo Wang said.

Tang Ming had no choice but to comply.

In the city of Dingzhou.

Zhao Mingming didn't go out today.

At this moment, she was holding a cup of tea, looking down at the crowd coming and going along the docked window.

"What are they all up to, what's the story behind them?"

Zhao Mingming couldn't help but think in her heart.

Suddenly, she sensed a murderous aura.

Zhao Mingming could feel that this murderous aura was not coming at her, but it was locking this inn.

"Who dares to trouble the Xiangteng Inn......

Zhao Mingming was also puzzled in her heart.

Not to mention that the people living in the Xiangteng Inn are all dignitaries from all walks of life, just by relying on the signboard of the four words of Xiangteng Inn, not everyone can afford to provoke it.

What's more, the strange beasts in the Nine Mountains have clear regulations when they walk in the world, and they are only allowed to stay in the Xiangteng Inn, and each Xiangteng Inn is only allowed to stay for a maximum of seven days.

Because all fighting and killing is forbidden in the Xiangteng Inn, the strange beasts that have descended the mountain in previous years have regarded the Xiangteng Inn as a talisman. No matter how many people are chased and killed, how seriously injured, as long as you can return to the Xiangteng Inn, it will be regarded as picking up half a life for yourself.

Strangely, however, the Xiangteng Inn itself has never recognized this rule, but so far no one has defied the law.

"Miss, I'm back!"

Sugar-fried chestnuts went to the street again, of course, her favorite "sugar-fried chestnuts" is indispensable. ”

"Have you ever met something strange, or seen a strange person?"

Zhao Mingming found that the murderous aura seemed to be attached to the sugar-fried chestnuts, and when she entered the Xiangteng Inn, she disappeared. Therefore, he asked in a word, thinking that she had caused something wrong outside, so that people secretly sought revenge.

"Nope...... I came back after shopping, and this time I didn't even say much, let alone quarrel with anyone...... And I accidentally ran into a person on the way, and I said sorry to him......"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said with some grievances and crying.

"But Miss, it's strange to say that man, too! He was dirty and smelly, unclothed and wrapped in a quilt, and with a knife in his hand, he didn't know who to scare. This is probably what they say about madness. ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts continued, but he had already grabbed a handful of sugar-fried chestnuts in his hand and gave them to Zhao Mingming.

"Dirty, dirty, smelly, ...... wrapped in a knife"

Zhao Mingming muttered a few times by herself, but she felt that there was really something strange in the world. She shrugged her shoulders and took the sugar-fried chestnuts, with her unfinished tea, and continued to look out the window.

In the reception of Jiying Town.

"Liu Xingqi, this is an urgent letter sent by the headquarters of the Central Capital Investigation Division!"
