Chapter 242: The Shadow of the Boat

Located on Xingluo Lake in the south of the city, the original dark water of the lake was purified by the power of the moon god and showed a clear water, but such a beautiful scenery could not hide the tension of the situation waiting at this time, the boats on the lake were dismissed, and only a tall painting boat was parked on the shore at an inopportune time.

Zhu Yan stood at the bow of the ship, and saw several figures striding over in the distance under the leadership of the eight generals of the military pavilion, so he waved his hand and motioned to the soldiers on the boat to put down the ladder.

After the boat ladder was put all the way to the shore, Xiao Qianye also happened to walk to the bow of the boat, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Zhu Yan's disgusting face, still maintaining a feminine and deep smile, without evasion, even with a little provocation, looking at himself without squinting.

He strode up the ladder of the boat, the generals of the military pavilion did not follow, but stood in a row by the side of the boat, the appearance of this painting boat seems to be only used by the magnates to swim in the lake on weekdays, the decoration is tall and gorgeous, and everywhere reveals the air of luxury, but a little further inside, Xiao Qianye's eyes are keenly aware of the details that are not easy to be imperceptibly transformed, under the light sara tent, next to the handrail and ladder, are equipped with unique hidden weapons.

When he met Huo Cang in Dongming before, he heard that the famous local technician Mei Tingxue was summoned to the imperial capital, so it seems that in the two months since he left, the Ordnance Department has really racked his brains in all aspects to carry out transformation, wanting to win the favor of Emperor Tianzun.

"Heh......" Xiao Qianye smiled inexplicably, remembering that there was indeed a relative of his own, Feng Sanniang, in the ordnance department, with his current situation, even if he had stopped contacting the Feng family a long time ago, they would still be more or less excluded by the courtiers, not to mention that Gao Chengchuan's death before was all blamed on himself, the Feng family was already embattled, and at this time, it was not good to show active hospitality, but I was afraid that his status in the imperial capital would soon plummet.

Xiao Qianye's eyes swept away, he was also a person who had struggled for eight years in the intricate power struggle in the imperial capital, so he naturally knew that for most of the powerful people in the imperial capital, instead of worrying about whether Feiyuan would be destroyed in the hands of the Heavenly Realm, he still had to worry about the rise and fall of his own family first, right?

"Pavilion Master Xiao, please. When he was distracted, Zhu Yan's voice was already close to his ears, and the person greeted him respectfully, directly ignoring the irrepressible boredom and disgust in the other party's eyes, and took the initiative to reach out and make an inviting gesture, and said, "Your Majesty has been waiting in the ink pavilion for a long time, and seeing that you have not arrived for a long time, I specially ordered my subordinates to move the Fengxin platform, so that you and Xiao'er can meet." ”

"Xiao'er...... What is your identity, and who allows you to call her that?" Xiao Qianye only heard the two most important words in his mouth, and there was a flash of pride in Zhu Yan's eyes, as if the trick had succeeded, although his face still remained unchanged and cold, the pleasure of revenge in his heart was surging, he paused deliberately, and then showed some false apologies, and changed his words repeatedly, "I mean Miss Yun, she has already arrived at the heart sealing platform first, and you will be able to see her after you finish talking with Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Qianye knew that this person was deliberately trying to provoke himself, he was a foreigner, and he also had thoughts about Yun Xiao, who had the breath of the spirit phoenix, a long time ago, from a notorious male favorite who suffered from the heat and coldness of the world, to a confidant celebrity who no one dared to offend easily, how could the change of mentality along the way be a pleasure that ordinary people could understand?

In other words, anyone has to show off arrogantly, he actually doesn't think there is anything unreasonable about this kind of behavior, but the guy in front of him seems to be particularly interested in teasing Yun Xiao, it is no longer the pleasure of revenge for turning over, it seems to be just out of some instinct.

Xiao Qianye's eyebrows frowned slightly, staring at Zhu Yan vigilantly, the reason why alien races are different from humans and difficult to manage is that there are some incomprehensible things in their bones called "instinct".

Xiao Yibai followed closely, and saw that his younger brother was looking at Zhu Yan face to face, not knowing what was in a stalemate, and caught a glimpse of Zhu Yan's malicious smile on his face, and suddenly he was also a little disgusted, he strode directly to his younger brother's side, grabbed his sleeve and pushed open the door of the painting boat, and glanced at Zhu Yan coldly, and whispered like a warning: "You are guarding the door well." ”

Surprisingly, when facing Xiao Yibai, Zhu Yan suddenly had scruples.

After all, he had served as the Great Commander of the White Sect, and he had long since noticed that there was a domineering and powerful spiritual power hidden in the jade wrench finger in the hand of Emperor Tianzun, but that spiritual power was cut off by something more arbitrary and arbitrary, causing the soul and spirit in the jade wrench finger to always be in a state of dementia and unable to communicate.

Although he couldn't get close to that jade wrench, just by looking at some of the abnormal actions of Emperor Tianzun in the past two months, he could deduce who the owner of that soul was.

When the weather suddenly turned cold last month, Emperor Tianzun ordered him to send a special winter coat made by the Clothing Workshop to Tianzheng Mansion, and it was precisely because of this unexpected move that the people who were still suspicious of the "shattering" disaster at the Bipolar Meeting were even more lucky, they felt that the emperor would not openly care so much about a brother who was a public enemy of the whole territory, and must just deliberately release this kind of terrifying remarks, and there were other unknown purposes.

However, after the tragedy of the East Underworld, the original luck was crushed, and no one questioned the authenticity of the "shattered" disaster, Xiao Yibai became the target of everyone, even if he was an emperor, he could not protect him again with his own strength.

Zhu Yan's heart moved, and he opened his mouth in disbelief, as if he realized something extremely terrifying in an instant-this time he suddenly secretly ordered him to arrest Yun Xiao, could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to exchange one for another and send Xiao Yibai out of Tianyu City?

He was taken aback by his own thoughts, and he couldn't convince himself to change this thought, so he couldn't help but lean closer to the door, wanting to eavesdrop on the secret technique of the White Sect.

"Want to eavesdrop?" Tian Che also followed, caught a glimpse of the movement of his hand, and raised a meaningful smile, "It's really bold, even Emperor Tianzun is talking to the Xiao Pavilion Lord, you also want to eavesdrop?"

"Don't dare. Zhu Yan immediately looked over with a smile, led the two of them to the stern, and said, "Your Majesty has instructed that if Gongzi and Mrs. Yun also come together, let the two of you go to Fengxintai to see Xiao'er." ”

"Xiao'er......" Yun Qiushui stared at him vigilantly, not understanding why this former male pet could say his daughter's name so indifferently.

Zhu Yan did it on purpose, the same method failed to arouse Xiao Qianye's anger, but it must have made Yun Qiushui, who was a mother, feel uneasy and confused. Nature

Tian Che directly sensed the other party's bad taste, he quietly stopped between Zhu Yan and Yun Qiushui, deliberately blocked Zhu Yan's sight, and said: "Senior uncle, don't worry about it first, I'll accompany you to see my junior sister." ”

"Hmm. Yun Qiushui responded absentmindedly, rowing a smaller boat leisurely from the opposite bank, Zhu Yan took the lead in jumping off the painting boat, and then raised his head to signal the two to follow.

Tianche secretly grabbed Yun Qiushui and muttered a few words in a low voice: "Uncle Shi, this person is not right, I don't know what the hell he is thinking, don't be misled by his words." ”

"Well, don't worry. Yun Qiushui smiled reluctantly, although it reassured him, in fact, he was not at ease at all.

When I first saw Zhu Yan, that person was polite and elegant, if it weren't for Ming Qi's repeated telling that it was a notorious male pet, she would even mistake it for a handsome son of someone's family, but when she saw this person again, she accidentally mentioned Yun Xiao's name from his mouth, as a mother, she could see at a glance that this Zhu Yan had some special intentions for her daughter.

It's not like love between a man and a woman, it's more like some kind of inexplicable madness that can erupt like a volcano at any moment.

Yun Qiushui's heart is awe-inspiring, this person, what kind of dark and dull past has he experienced to become this chilling appearance?

At this time, the inside of the painting boat was intertwined with black and gold divine power, and the spiritual power that the periphery was trying to enter was shattered in an instant, Xiao Qianye's eyes turned, and he felt that the ancient dust in his hand let out a low cry, and the divine power wrapped around the scabbard suddenly dissolved, revealing a sharp and shiny blade.

Mingxi was sitting at the top, although he also vaguely felt the faint agitation caused by the collision of the two spiritual powers, he still smiled quietly, he was still wearing a plain regular clothes, and another special feather weaving daze was hung diagonally on the hanger next to him, and a charcoal fire was burning in the center of the room, so that the temperature was no longer cold, this face seemed to be just an ordinary party at first glance, without the slightest nervousness.

He calmly blew the tea in his hand alone, and casually pointed to a few chairs that had been prepared a long time ago, and said lightly: "Lord Xiao Ge, sit down."

"He's so arrogant, don't you care?" Xiao Qianye took the opportunity to sit down on his left, and unceremoniously poured a cup of tea and drank it all, the two were like friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they didn't have the slightest rustiness when they spoke, Mingxi was stunned by his cold expression, and it took a while to suddenly come back to his senses, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and replied, "Oh...... You say Zhu is tired?"

"Zhu Yan?" Xiao Qianye's eyes sank slightly, and he was a little surprised, and said in a low voice, "He changed his name?"

Mingxi nodded and read: "There is a beast, its shape is like an ape, and the white head is barefoot, the name is Zhu Yan, and when you see it, you are a soldier...... Seeing the big soldier, heh, it really suits his name, and sure enough, he will cause trouble for me as soon as he comes. ”

"Hmph, Your Majesty has been able to deal with trouble with ease since the time of the crown prince, right?" Xiao Qianye answered casually, this kind of rude remark not only did not make Mingxi feel the slightest anger, but laughed helplessly, he gently shook the tea bowl in his hand, his eyes inadvertently swept over Xiao Yibai, and said lightly, "Yes, the people around me are all the same, let them do something more worryingly, and cause trouble one by one." ”

Xiao Yibai knew that Mingxi was insinuating about himself, so he simply didn't say anything, and sat patiently on the side without saying a word.

Mingxi looked at his indifferent look, he was really angry and couldn't help it, he let out a snort from his nasal cavity, and said unhappily: "Qianye, I won't follow the detour, you take this guy away, whatever you take to Kunlun or to the Heavenly Realm, in short, find a capable person to treat him, I can't cure him, if he continues to stay here, it will be a dead end sooner or later, and you don't want the only blood brother to die here, right?"

Xiao Qianye's eyebrows moved, and before he could speak, he caught a glimpse of the slowly condensing ball of light on his shoulder.

Mingxi kept tapping his fingers on the tabletop, such a dull "dong dong" sound made the atmosphere more solemn, he didn't look at Xiao Yibai, he didn't want to ask the other party's opinion at all, he just continued to take care of himself: "But his current situation is very special, I can't let him go openly, Qianye, you have been in the imperial capital for so many years, you should be able to understand the complex relationship network, right?"

Ming Xi quietly raised his eyes to look at the other party, and his light golden eyes noticed the faint white ball of light, and instantly sensed the breath of another person, and the emperor's tone suddenly became stern: "I didn't mean to threaten you, but I really ...... Helpless. ”

When the ball of light heard this, it was originally just floating on his shoulder, but it suddenly moved forward, transforming into a faint figure.

Xiao Qianye stood up suddenly, sensing that it was another divine cracking technique, and shouted anxiously: "Go back!

Di Zhong was already standing in the center of the crowd, obviously he had just woken up from his slumber and had not fully recovered, so he waved his hand reluctantly and comforted: "It's okay, I'm measured, I just want to have a good conversation with the descendants of Donghuang and Xiyu." ”

Xiao Qianye looked at him coldly, knowing that it was just a hard rhetoric, and he repeatedly used the Divine Cracking Technique in this kind of place, which would only make the already fragile Divine Consciousness even worse!
