The painting boat just docked, Zhu Yan jumped down directly from the top without waiting for the boat ladder to be lowered, Jing Shougong and Pingding Hou, who had been waiting on the shore for a long time, hurriedly greeted them, after all, this time is different from the past, and the two important ministers of the court had to bow their hands with a smile in the face of today's Zhu Yan, and successively pointed to the sealing platform in the center of the lake, and asked cautiously: "Zhu Yan, what are Your Majesty and Xiao Pavilion Lord talking about......?" Is there something you want to bring to us?"

Zhu Yan politely returned the salute, although he was a popular person around Emperor Tianzun, he was still extremely polite to these ministers with deep backgrounds, and said frankly: "Your Majesty has reached an agreement with the Xiao Pavilion Lord, as long as the Xiao Pavilion Lord no longer endangers Feiyuan, he will not attack his brother." ”

"That's it?" Jing Shougong's eyes widened, feeling that he had missed something, Zhu Yan pursed his lips, it seemed that those words were deliberately said to him, but I was afraid that the real purpose was to convey it to people outside through his mouth, thinking of this, Zhu Yan smiled slightly, and said casually, "Your Majesty did say so, I don't dare to speculate on the holy will, if the two adults Jing Shougong and Pingding Hou have any doubts, you might as well ask in person?"

"Uh...... That's still it. Jing Shougong was worried about the artillery matter just now at this time, where did he dare to go to Emperor Tianzun at this time to ask about the situation, he secretly pushed the Pingding Hou beside him, and said with a smile, "Master Hou, what do you think?"

Pingding Hou was already a little uneasy by Zhu Yan's words, and when he heard Jing Shougong push the burden on his shoulders so quickly, he couldn't help frowning and glaring at him, and cleared his throat with a few dry coughs, and then said strangely: "Zhu Yan, didn't you catch a woman back before?" Just now Jing Shougong was still mentioning this matter to me, saying that it was the sweetheart of the Xiao Pavilion Lord, and now his eldest brother and woman are in the hands of His Majesty, and he doesn't dare to do anything wrong, why does His Majesty only mention Xiao Yibai, and only mention the woman you caught?"

Zhu Yan's face was slightly dark, even if he had doubts, he still reported what he had seen: "Looking at the current situation, it seems that something has gone wrong with the fifth princess, can the two adults still remember that the troops stationed in the capital were wiped out by Gu ants? ”

"This ......" Pingdinghou was confused when he heard it, and he didn't understand how this matter had anything to do with the fifth princess, but when Jing Shougong heard the word "Gu ant", his frightened face suddenly turned pale, and he pinched his arm hard, his eyes rolled wildly, and he hurriedly swept around, looking at everywhere with a look of fear: "Gu ant...... It's the kind of ant that can get into people's bodies and control their brains directly? Oh, that's not going to work! That thing is elusive, and it's impossible to guard against!"

When Pingding Hou heard this, he suddenly changed color, and finally remembered what happened in the imperial capital city before, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of foam hard, did not dare to act rashly, and asked hesitantly: "Then, what is Your Majesty going to do with the five princesses?"

"Your Majesty did not say it directly, and I have nothing to say. Zhu Yan was polite, seeing the two important ministers of the court looking worried and afraid, he couldn't help but look full of disdain, and sneered, "But the two adults don't have to worry too much, Your Majesty naturally has a solution, otherwise how can you easily let the Xiao Pavilion Lord leave? I think Jing Shougong should let the soldiers stationed in the garrison withdraw now, anyway, he can't keep the Xiao Pavilion Master, so it's better to rest early." ”

Jing Shougong gave him a white look angrily, he was already a civil servant, and this time he temporarily took over the post of governor of the forbidden army, I thought it was just a transfer of troops to arrest a few people, but I didn't expect the water to be so deep that an old minister who had been in the officialdom for a long time almost suffered a big loss.

Without waiting for him to say anything more, the corona sword above his head suddenly dispersed, and with the shattered golden light, it disappeared into the sky little by little, and the voice of Emperor Tianzun seemed to come from every corner of the imperial city in the open and far: "Jing Shougong, collect the troops and let them go." ”

A cold light flashed in Zhu Yan's eyes, and he smiled disapprovingly, sure enough, everything was as he expected, Jing Shougong heard Emperor Tianzun's order, and it took a moment to ease his expression, his face became more and more ugly, he never expected that what Zhu Yan said before his mouth became true immediately, this guy has been by Emperor Tianzun's side for just a few months, how did he guess His Majesty's mind accurately, did he use some strange techniques, such as "mind reading" and "heart guessing"?

At the same time, the painting boat on the lake has turned back to Fengxintai, Jing Shougong saw this and hurriedly ordered all the soldiers stationed in the lake to evacuate, and carefully instructed to put away the previous artillery and send it back to the armory, Pingding Hou saw that he was in a hurry, and made a look at the escort team he brought, and left quietly from Xingluo Lake while everyone was unprepared, only more than half an hour before and after, and then when the painting boat came from the Fengxin Terrace, there were only eight military pavilion generals left in addition to the original guards of Xingluo Lake.

Xiao Qianye led Yun Xiao, her hands and feet were still shackled by the chains of the sea soul stone, although it was already a special lightweight model, but dragging on the ground still made an uncomfortable friction sound, Yun Xiao's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head, she has been favored by her master since she was a child, and she has never appeared in front of others with the appearance of this prisoner, although the people on the shore have been removed a lot, but there are still countless pairs of eyes looking over.

"Don't be afraid, I'm there for you. I could see her thoughts at a glance, Xiao Qianye just held her tighter, and quietly pulled her into his arms, Mingxi followed the two out of the painting boat, casually glanced at the scene on the shore, but smiled slightly, and comforted, "Miss Yun should be glad that the eight people below are his most trusted colleagues and comrades-in-arms, and he is leading you off this painting boat, which is to admit your identity to the most important person, such an 'honor', how many women can't ask for it?"

Although Yun Xiao had a slight smile on her face, she was secretly cold, she had imagined countless times that she would become the woman beside Xiao Qianye, who could justifiably marry into the Tianzheng Mansion and be called "Mrs. Xiao", but now not only is she a prisoner, but even Xiao Qianye has become a public enemy of the whole territory.

Yun Xiao inadvertently raised his head, facing Xiao Qianye's rare tender eyes, obviously in this situation of being attacked on his back and abdomen, but he didn't know, but smiled lightly gracefully, and finally didn't say anything, and then pulled her down the boat ladder step by step.

This boat ladder is only more than ten meters, and for Yun Xiao, every step is like walking for a lifetime.

Beside him was the noisy Xingluo Lake, but at this time, the fragments of the Corona Sword fell into the clear lake like a meteor, intertwining and hitting the dazzling light of the sun and the moon, as if it was a wonderful journey specially arranged by the emperor behind him for the two of them, Yun Xiao took a deep breath, forgot her current situation for a while, her eyes were full of joy slowly revealed, and she couldn't help but lean closer to Xiao Qianye, walking side by side next to him.

On the shore of Xingluo Lake, Ye Zhuofan held his breath and concentrated, his face was slightly hot, his eyes dimmed instantly, and he was a little distracted by this inopportune scene, and his heart was full of mixed tastes-obviously she was wearing shackles, why was her face full of happiness? She really didn't care, as long as she could be by that person's side, whether that person was Feiyuan's hero or Feiyuan's enemy, she didn't care at all, the only thing she cared about was the person she liked since she was a child.

The generals of the military pavilion are also silent, they are also comrades-in-arms who have been born and died for many years, and in their spare time, they will actually talk about the feelings of the top boss, after all, he is such a young and promising person, there is never a shortage of women around him who take the initiative to be attentive, but no one thought that when this day came, he was holding a woman full of shackles and walked down slowly, this is a woman from the Central Plains, a woman with foreign blood, but he has no suspicion, his eyes are full of unprecedented favor and pride, so calm and confident, and the previous military pavilion master who hated foreign races and disdained foreign travelers。 Hanlian literature

It turns out that if a person is moved by true feelings, he will really be desperate.

Mingxi just glanced at the bow of the boat, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he turned back to the room directly, and Xiao Yibai was the only one in the empty painting boat at this time, remembering that it had been a long time since the two of them had a good talk alone, Mingxi walked directly back to his previous seat, took off the feather weaving big feather that had been hanging there and threw it on Xiao Yibai, and scolded angrily: "Didn't you ask Zhu Yan to send you this year's clothes before? Why didn't I see you wearing them?"

"Oh...... I gave the clothes to Tianche. Xiao Yibai didn't excuse him, he was already cold and a little unbearable, he immediately put on a feather weaving daze, rubbed his hands vigorously, and didn't wait for the other party's scolding to come down, and hurriedly grabbed the words in a good voice, "After all, when I was in North Shore City, I was a little sorry for others! I saw that he looked sick, and even the cold protection method in their sect didn't work very well, so I sent him away." ”

"Hmph. Mingxi snorted coldly, his face was as cold as a piece of ice that could not be dissolved, and he said with a smile, "How much can you buy clothes for the clothes in the clothing workshop?" You are generous, saying that if you give it away, you will give it away, how do I see that people don't appreciate it at all, and they don't wear it on their bodies?"

Xiao Yibai knew that he was just hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and Wen Yan soothed: "Dumping clothes shop still dare to accept your silver? They wish to send a hundred and eighty pieces a year to please you, you go and check carefully, maybe their accounts are not clean, maybe Gongsun Yan is also the same as Gongsun Yan......"

"Shut up. Mingxi frowned, he didn't expect that he still had the mind to talk to himself at this time, and then remembered that Xiao Qianye had blurted out the same three words before, and quickly coughed a few times to relieve the embarrassment, Xiao Yibai was secretly funny, and he couldn't really laugh out loud to make him angry.

"You don't have a hippie smile with me. Mingxi was even more angry when he saw his careless appearance, grabbed a teacup and smashed it in his face, Xiao Yibai turned his head slightly to avoid it, only to see Mingxi open a pair of light golden eyes, which were obviously bright as the color of the sun, but he slowly revealed the depth and darkness that he couldn't see through at all, and whispered, "Xiao Yibai, I don't care about Mingshu's life or death, if it weren't for the fear that the God of War would really stand by and let the imperial capital fall into the disaster of Gu ants again, I would definitely not let Yunxiao leave so easily." ”

Xiao Yibai's awe-inspiring expression, he could see from his eyes that his friend's words were serious, Mingxi pursed his lips sternly, and snorted coldly: "If the Night King can really help you release some of the night curse shackles, then I won't be a loss this time, but in case he refuses to ......."

"What ......if" Xiao Yibai secretly clenched his fists, this "what if" is indeed possible, after all, no one can really influence the Night King's decision.

Mingxi tapped the table with his fingers, word by word, and didn't want to hide anything from him: "I have already ordered Mu Xizhao to escort Yun Qiushui, Tianche and Mingshu to the North Shore City first, and then let the Wind Demon prepare the merchant ship to return to the Central Plains, if the Night King really comes as promised, they can safely set foot on this homecoming ship, if he doesn't come, then I still have to find a way to use them to send you out." ”

Xiao Yibai bowed his head slightly, stared for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "I know you are worried about me, but you ...... Can you not always be embarrassed for a thousand nights?"

"Do you think I want to embarrass him?" Mingxi sighed lightly, with a little depression in his eyes instantly, and suddenly lowered his voice and said seriously, "There is something I haven't told you, a few days ago, Gongsun Yan sent me a secret report, the former captain of the fourth team of the forbidden army, Gao Zhanping, secretly met with the second emperor brother, there are high-ranking people around the palace, and even the Stygian Butterfly can't sneak in to listen, Xiao Yibai, what do you think a high-ranking official of the forbidden army will go to find the second emperor brother at this time?"

Xiao Yibai didn't reply, Mingxi didn't go around the bend with him, and said bluntly: "Xiao Yibai, I am now suffering from internal and external troubles, some things are involuntarily, you saved my life, and I have to rely on you to live today, but I want to save you, not for myself, I want you to live, that's all." ”

Xiao Yibai nodded, still silent, Mingxi sighed secretly, and his eyes swept lightly from his face: "But you don't have to worry about this matter, Gongsun Yan will handle it very cleanly, you just pray on the heart sealing platform, pray that the Night King will really come as promised." ”

He just made an understatement, as if the danger behind this matter could not attract his mind at all, Xiao Yibai leaned on the back of the chair and frowned slightly, suddenly remembered a person, and hurriedly reminded: "Mingxi, you don't know martial arts, that jade wrench finger can't be connected to me right now, although you are the king of a country, but if they really want to be unfavorable to you, there is still a lot of opportunity to do it, I met Marshal Si Tian in the imperial capital before, he promised me not to leave for the time being, you send someone to find him, you should be able to find him." ”

"Si Tian ......" Mingxi blurted out this somewhat distant name in a low voice, but he was thinking about something diametrically opposite to Xiao Yibai in his mind, but Mao Sai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's right, I'm worried about who to let guard the Fengxin Platform to protect you, with Zhu Yan's temperament, he will probably have a conflict with you, but if Marshal Si Tian is also in the imperial capital, then he is the best candidate." ”

"Hey, I mean let the marshal protect you. Xiao Yibai corrected his words with righteous words, but Mingxi waved his hand impatiently, "I have Zhu Yan and Gongsun Yan by my side, and I have already asked the master of Jianglou to pick up Feiying, you just take care of yourself, don't worry about me." ”

"Fly...... Flying Shadow?" Xiao Yibai snorted embarrassedly, hearing this name, Mingxi smiled intriguingly, and joked, "Although Feiying is a troublesome child, in fact, she still has a little ability, she is always clamoring to protect you, Elder Mo was troubled by her headache, so she can only send it over and let you take care of it yourself." ”

Xiao Yibai closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, in fact, there was nothing wrong with turning Feiying over, after all, it was originally the time to use people, but when he thought of the child's strange temperament, he still felt a tingling in his scalp, and he felt a faint pain.

Mingxi secretly looked at his expression, feeling that the emotions he had been suppressing were also rarely relieved a lot, and he couldn't help but secretly laugh, sighed and shook his head.
