In the empty backyard of the Tianzheng Mansion, Tian Che, who swept in directly from the periphery, used the unique spell of the Lingyin Clan and the assistance of the cold sword qi to form a huge cover of sea currents to block the footsteps of the soldiers stationed in the capital.

On the other side, Xiao Yibai leaned against the door, one hand gently covered his mouth to hide the bloodstains, and the other hand squeezed hard in his sleeve, looking nervously at the two people in front of him.

In the middle of Xiao Yibai and Tianche, Xiao Qianye held a slender Gu Chen, and the sword spirit was pinned to his waist, standing motionless in the snow.

Since returning to the imperial capital not long ago, he felt that the situation of the guards was too lax, all the way into the city from the castle tower, through the east gate of the imperial capital, through the entire bustling commercial street, and then into the area of the noble mansion, such a long road, the number of soldiers stationed in Los Angeles is less than half!

It wasn't until he went home unhindered that he found that although the Tianzheng Mansion was nominally closely guarded by special personnel, there were actually very few guards, so few that he quietly entered his backyard with the actinic technique until now, and still no one came to stop him.

He never expected that the person who came out to stop him was not a soldier stationed in the capital, but his fellow senior brother Tianche in front of him.

However, seeing this scene, Xiao Yibai, who had just rushed out of the room, was obviously relieved, slowly slowed down his rapid breathing, strode over, and asked, "Why did you run back at this time?" Yunxiao, shouldn't she be with you?"

Hearing the eldest brother mention Yun Xiao's name, Xiao Qianye had some doubts in his heart, and an uneasy premonition arose, so he still said calmly: "We came back from Dongming and took a temporary rest in Los Angeles to inquire about your situation, Mingxi specially sent Tianzheng Bird over, saying that you are very sick and there is no way for him to continue to heal you." ”

"Mingxi ......" Xiao Yibai's face turned pale for a while, and when he heard the name of this familiar friend again, his face showed a rare hint of urgency, Xiao Qianye chuckled in his heart, obviously the eldest brother's reaction was beyond his expectations, and he hurriedly said in a hurry, "I met Duyun in Los Angeles before, he said that the two dukes and the three marquis, together with more than 30 ministers of the court, asked Mingxi to execute you to calm the people's hearts, after all, he is the king of a country and cannot sit idly by, he wants me to take you out of the imperial capital to a safer place." ”

"Did he really say that?" Xiao Yibai just smiled faintly, as if he was not surprised by such words, his cold eyes were filled with extremely complex emotions, he lowered his head, not knowing if he was talking to his younger brother, or just talking to himself: "He may not be lying, no matter what the reason, he will not live long if I die, but his physical condition cannot be known to outsiders, so he will retreat and let you come back and take me away, but ......"

"But?" Xiao Qianye chased after him, his palms were full of fine sweat, and he seriously recalled that his way home was too smooth, although the troops stationed in the capital were destroyed in the imperial capital coup a few months ago, and Gao Chengchuan was also beheaded by himself, but Feiyuan has many talents, and it is impossible that the entire garrison army is still paralyzed for so long, no matter how you look at it, it seems that someone deliberately cleared the obstacles for him, and let him come back and take away his eldest brother.

"That's why I'm asking you, where is Yun Xiao?" Xiao Yibai reminded again, this question was like thunder, Xiao Qianye gasped, couldn't help but turn to the direction he came from, his eyes began to shake uncontrollably violently, and he said with difficulty, "What do you mean...... Mingxi wants to let you go, and he doesn't want to lose the chips that threaten me, so, so he deliberately lured me away to deal with Ah Xiao?"

Xiao Yibai didn't reply, he raised his eyes to look at Tian Che, who suddenly appeared to stop his younger brother's footsteps, and asked, "Prince Che was temporarily living in the Qin Tower in the outer city, why did he suddenly break into the inner city?"

Without waiting for Tian Che to say anything, Xiao Qianye had already sorted out his chaotic thoughts in an instant, and his anger rose from his heart, Tian Che looked at his fellow disciples calmly, and said a little helplessly: "If I hadn't made a special trip to stop you, you would have left the Imperial Capital City with him right now, right? ”

"He lied to me. Xiao Qianye clenched his teeth, realizing that he had fallen into the trap set by Mingxi again, that person threatened him again and again, and when he was in North Shore City, he used his brother and fellow disciples to coerce him to join the Wind Demon, and now that he has taken over the world, there is no obstacle in front of him, and he still refuses to fully trust him, and he must continue to contain his every move with chips in his hand!

Damn! Xiao Qianye's eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames, and he couldn't wait to turn his head and find Mingxi now, he was already exhausted to deal with the Heavenly Realm, why should he be distracted to deal with the malice from Feiyuan?

He can completely abandon this isolated island on the sea and walk away with Yun Xiao and his eldest brother, he is obviously already doing his best to turn the tide, why can't he even get the most basic trust?

"Mingxi also has no way. Xiao Yibai walked up to his younger brother and patted him on the shoulder, his smile a little stiff.

Xiao Qianye threw away the eldest brother in annoyance, and his tone was unprecedentedly fierce: "You are still speaking for him, if you had gone with me at that time, you would not have become like this now, it is because you believe in him too much that you will be repeatedly used by him and squeeze all the value out!"

Xiao Yibai did not deny his brother's words, but only added, and continued: "I know, but there are more and more ministers who have jointly admonished at the moment, and he can't be indifferent in that position, if he really loses me, with his relationship with the Tianzheng Mansion on weekdays, he will inevitably suffer criticism again Chinese!"

"You're still protecting him!" Hearing the eldest brother say this, Xiao Qianye was angry, if it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was his only blood relative, he really wanted to cut it down now, at this time, Tianche also followed and walked to the two of them, instead of persuading him, he followed Xiao Yibai's words and said, "Senior brother, I have been in the imperial capital for a few days, and the general situation can be seen clearly. Most of the Hou moved to Tianyu City, I am afraid that the trend of forming gangs and factions has long been not a secret, Emperor Tianzun has not been on the throne for a long time, it is impossible for him to openly ignore the advice of the ministers, if he insists on doing so, the government and the opposition will be turbulent, internal and external troubles, it is a big taboo. ”

Xiao Qianye glanced at Tian Che in surprise, this person should hate the powerful of the imperial capital, how could he be so calm at this time?

Tian Che smiled, as if he had guessed the other party's thoughts from his eyes, and sighed: "I have been secretly staring since the Eastern Hell's Massacre, in fact, with my relationship with you, even if I am directly arrested and imprisoned, it is normal, but Emperor Tianzun did not do this, although he restricted Uncle Qiushui's actions, but he didn't care about me, as long as I didn't run around with the sword spirit, in fact, I wouldn't be recognized by many people." ”

Xiao Qianye thought seriously about his senior brother's words, Mingxi's seemingly contradictory actions must have their own deep meanings, which are very subtle and not easy to detect.

"Yesterday afternoon, I saw a few people in a hurry, with a carriage to the east gate, I saw that although the carriage was decorated like a powerful person's, but the wheels were modified, and the sound of running was not right, I followed all the way, out of the east gate only to find that there were still people waiting outside. ”

Xiao Qianye listened patiently, in some subtle details, he was indeed not as careful as Senior Brother Tianche's observation.

"I saw Zhuo Fan also inside, a group of nine people, eight of whom were dressed very similarly, the kind of silver-black uniform used by your military pavilion, with a special badge on their shoulders. ”

"From the military pavilion?" Xiao Qianye suddenly raised his eyes, almost unable to believe what he heard, but he thought about it and remembered that he was in distress in Wanyou City, only two lieutenant generals chased him out, and he didn't see the other three generals!

Xiao Qianye's hand holding the sword was hard again, and the palm of the squeeze was painful, he thought that it was the annual banquet of the three armies at the end of the year, and the general of Dongming would return to the imperial capital because of the custom, it turned out that since then, Mingxi had been planning everything today?

He calculated that he would go to the East Ming to retrieve the ancient dust first, and he also calculated that he would definitely give priority to the road of Los Angeles when he returned to the imperial capital, so he made a move on the Heavenly Expedition Bird early in the morning, and asked the eight generals who had already let him come back take advantage of his departure to ambush Yun Xiao?!

"You stopped me...... The more I thought about it, the more I felt a cold sweat, Xiao Qianye tried his best to keep his emotions stable, looked at Tianche levelly, and asked, "You know that Mingxi's real purpose is not my eldest brother, but Yunxiao, so he made a special trip to stop me from leaving......"

"If you leave now, it won't be so easy to come back. Tian Che answered lightly and pointed at Xiao Yibai, "You should have noticed it, whether it is from the time you enter the city or go home, the guards are too scarce, Emperor Tianzun deliberately opened this way home for you, in order to distract you, so as to bring back Yunxiao and replace Xiao Yibai as the new 'bargaining chip', at least this one-for-one move will not let him be criticized, and he will have an explanation for the ministers and the people." ”

Tianche paused, for some reason his eyes tightened slightly, the corners of his mouth grinned helplessly, glanced at Xiao Yibai, who was emaciated and pale and bloodless, and said lightly: "But Emperor Tianzun really cares about you, in order to be able to treat you and treat your injuries, he took such a big risk and made such a big detour to send you out, and even did not hesitate to take my junior sister under the knife, he is really a powerful character, he can have such scheming methods at this age, don't say that he can't play a thousand nights, if anyone else, he will be willing to bow down." ”

Xiao Yibai smiled awkwardly, speechless for such a "compliment".

"I'm going to find her. Xiao Qianye didn't want to listen to him at all, he touched the white sword spirit on his waist, and found that the soul attached to it was still quiet, and he didn't show any abnormality until now, and suddenly remembered that there was indeed a person around Mingxi who was proficient in the forbidden art of the White Sect who could block this special contact, Xiao Qianye was even more worried in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Senior brother, you take my eldest brother away, I will bring Ah Xiao back." ”

"Don't mess around. Tianche reminded seriously, for fear that he was making some amazing moves in anger.

"I went straight to Mingxi to see what he wanted. Xiao Qianye's tone was extremely calm, as if his heart, which had been angry to the limit, could no longer make waves.

"Thousand Nights......" Xiao Yibai wanted to speak and stopped, remembering that this incident was completely caused by himself, and he did not block his position, he could only sigh slightly, and instructed, "You be careful, if Mingxi insists on this...... Don't worry about me, I know Yun Xiao is also very important to you. ”

"You're still worried about yourself. Xiao Qianye replied lightly, after all, he was the only blood brother, and he couldn't blame this person because he lost Yun Xiao.

The three of them glanced at each other, and Xiao Qianye took the lead in jumping on the sword spirit and flying in the direction of the ink pavilion.
