Late the next night, after a day and a night of galloping, Liu Xunyi and his entourage left Bancheng with Yang Huai and were invited to the Jade Dragon Palace in Tianshan Mountain.

Along the way, no matter how Liu Xunyi asked, Yang Huai only said "The palace master is invited", but he didn't mention anything else. As for what kind of medicine is sold in Ren Wuya's gourd? Liu Xunyi and the others were all confused and full of doubts.

As the saying goes, "If you come, you will be safe." "Since Liu Xunyi came on order, he must not avoid it because he is suspicious. Therefore, even if he couldn't guess whether Ren Wuya was good or evil, he had no other choice but to follow Yang Huai up the mountain. The only thing you can do is to be cautious in your words and deeds, and the rest must be improvised, taking one step at a time.

In the guest room, the candle flame is dim, quiet and cold.

"Master, take a sip of wine to warm up. Tang Cong trembled and snuggled up to the kang, wrapped in a thick futon, and after throwing the wine bag to Liu Xunyi, he hurriedly retracted his hand back into the quilt and complained, "It's cold here, they don't even want to give us a stove, isn't it hospitality?"

"The time has passed, most of the disciples of the Jade Dragon Palace have slept, where can we find a stove in the middle of the night?"

Liu Xunyi, who was sorting out his baggage at the table, took the wine bag, poured two sips of "Gu Dong Gu Dong", and couldn't help but let out a refreshing wine burp in his throat, and said with a light smile: "Don't complain, your body is already tired after days of traveling, you just lie down and you can sleep, where do you care if it's warm or not?"

"It's okay for a big man to say, it's okay to freeze all night. Tang Cong's face was treacherous, and he pretended to be worried, "It's just that Miss Xun Qin is suffering, she is a weak woman, I don't know if she can stand such a cold weather?"

After saying that, Tang Cong suddenly rolled his eyes and said with a wicked smile: "Door master, I see that Xun Qin girl has a lot of fate with you, tonight is a godsend, why don't you go to her room......"

"Shut up!" Before Tang Cong finished speaking, Liu Xunyi's eyes suddenly straightened, and he reprimanded, "If you dare to speak freely and talk nonsense, I will let you go outside the house and freeze overnight!"

"Don't, don't!" Tang Cong was shocked, and hurriedly wrapped the futon on his body a few points tightly, and said with a smile, "I am a dog who can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and the master of the door doesn't remember the villain, don't be like me, hehe......"

"Remember, Xun Qin and we are not all the way after all, and we must pay attention to proportionality when speaking in the future, especially those indiscriminate words, and don't mention a word. Liu Xunyi advised, "It's about the innocence of the woman, if you go against the word, beware of being cut off by her." ”

Hearing this, Tang Cong subconsciously shrank his tongue, and then raised his hand and swore an oath: "The lesson of the master is that the joke is small, and the tongue is big." ”

Liu Xunyi was made to cry and laugh by Tang Cong's "Tian shameless", and sneered: "Moreover, Xun Qin is not a weak woman, she was born and grew up in the Western Regions, and she has been accustomed to wind, frost, snow and dew since she was a child. Instead of worrying about others, let's worry about ourselves first!"

"That's right. Tang Cong's face darkened, and he muttered worriedly, "I don't know what Ren Wuya wants to do?" He sent someone to invite us up the mountain, but he refused to tell the reason, and I have been ...... in my heart."

As for this, Tang Cong's eyes suddenly changed, and he said in a low voice: "Sect Master, will Ren Wuya kill us?"

"Why did he kill us?" asked Liu Xunyi without raising his head.

"Because he and Jin Fuyu are the same ......"

"Shh

Liu Xunyi hurriedly interrupted Tang Cong's words, and said sternly: "Don't make something out of nothing, speculate, beware...... Pitchers have ears. ”

Tang Cong nodded solemnly and said in a shhh......h Will the palace master kill us?"

"I don't know. Liu Xunyi hesitated, "But ...... I guess not. ”

"Why?"

"The territory of the Jade Dragon Palace within a radius of hundreds of miles, if he wants to kill us, why would he go to great lengths to invite us up the mountain?" Liu Xunyi said, "If the Jade Dragon Palace wants to deal with us, it will definitely not be Hall Master Yang who appeared in Yangchun Stack yesterday." Since they invited us up the mountain, it is very likely that they want to reconcile with us. ”

"Maybe they want to catch turtles in the urn so that no fish slip through the net......"

"It's also possible. Liu Xunyi's eyes rolled, and he nodded with concern, "Maybe Xun Qin is in a gang with them and deliberately lured us to the bait." As a result, we are in prison, and eighty percent of us are dead. ”

"What should I do then?" Tang Cong's face changed suddenly, and he said urgently, "Do you want me to wake up Liao Chuan and Liao Hai and take precautions as soon as possible......

"Don't bother. Liu Xunyi raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, and said solemnly, "Why don't you go outside and guard?" I'll take a nap first, recuperate, and if something happens, you have to wake me up in time." ”

"This ......"

Tang Cong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Liu Xunyi with a confused expression, then looked outside the house, heard the cold wind whistling, suddenly felt chills, his limbs were sore, and he shook his head again and again: "Or ...... I'm still guarding the house, right? If the people of the Jade Dragon Palace didn't make a move, but they were frozen to death, wouldn't they be wronged?"

"Is it wronged?" Liu Xunyi asked meaningfully.

Seeing this, Tang Cong suddenly realized that Liu Xunyi was making fun of him, and suddenly felt ashamed and ashamed, so embarrassed.

"Door master, the vigil still needs to be considered in the long run, after all, we have already stepped into other people's territory, and we can't keep it...... I'm afraid I won't be able to run away......" Tang Cong prevaricated vaguely, while shrinking his hands and feet into the quilt, and then his body was crooked, and the whole person curled up on the kang.

Liu Xunyi laughed and joked: "What if someone sneaks up?"

"Sneak attack, sneak attack! I haven't slept soundly in days, I really don't have the strength to ......"

Before he finished speaking, the snoring sounded and Tang Cong fell asleep like a dead pig in the blink of an eye.

Liu Xunyi smiled bitterly, leaned over to blow out the lamp and extinguish the wax, but there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Bang, bang!"

The door was divided left and right, and it opened in response, but I saw Ding Ao, who was full of banter, holding a plate of wine and food in both hands, standing outside the door with a smile.

"Little brother, the green mountains are always at ease, and the mountains and rivers meet. In just one year, we met again, and it was really fate!"

Tonight's Ding Ao feels very similar to the ruffian "Ding San" that Liu Xunyi saw for the first time at the Huodu Long'an Inn. It's all cynical and bohemian banter.

"Should I call you Ding San, or should I call you Ding Sanye?"

Liu Xunyi had no good impression of Ding Ao, after all, he had been deceived by him, and even almost lost his life.

"It's good to call anything, the most rare thing is that the little brother still knows the old man......?"

"I know! Of course I know! Ding Sanye's 'great kindness' is unforgettable and unforgettable. Liu Xunyi sneered strangely.

In the face of Liu Xunyi's ridicule, Ding Ao didn't care, and grinned: "Now, on the contrary, I want to impress you, little brother." ”

"Oh, why did Third Master Ding say this?"

"The last time I saw my little brother, you were still stinking and unknown. See you tonight, you are already the master of King Xian's Mansion and the personal envoy of King Beixian. Ding Ao praised, "It is said that ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi." It only took one year for the little brother to turn the world upside down and turn things around, which is really admirable!"

"In the past, if it weren't for Ding Sanye's 'mercy', today's Liu Xunyi would have been a pile of dry bones in the grave. Liu Xunyi replied with a smile, his words seemed to be peaceful, but in fact he secretly had murderous intent.

Ding Ao naturally understood that Liu Xunyi was talking back, so he raised the wine and food in his hand, and pretended to be respectful: "People in the rivers and lakes are already difficult to distinguish between friends and foes, and their grievances are not clear. In the past, you and I were our own masters, and it was inevitable that there would be some differences, but tonight you and I are like-minded, and we should abandon our past suspicions and rebuild for good. You see, little old man, when I learned that the lord of Liumen had arrived, I immediately ordered someone to prepare wine and food, and came to make amends to you in the snow late at night. This sincerity must be enough to calm the resentment of the Lord of the Liu Sect against Xiao Lao'er......, right?

Liu Xunyi glanced at the wine and food, and asked meaningfully, "What if I don't want to accept Ding Sanye's good intentions?"

"Little brother, I know that you have a grudge against me, and you can't break me into pieces. Ding Ao laughed, "But don't forget, what kind of place is this? Why are you here? Since ancient times, the people who have known the times are Junjie, and I guess the master of the Liu Sect should know the current situation better than me." ”

"You're threatening me?"

"Don't dare, I'm admonishing you. Young people, don't always worry about the old things about the old sesame seeds and rotten grains. The four words 'clear grievances' are only believed by a fool. Ding Ao said with a smile, "If you can really distinguish the two clearly, how can there be a martial arts conference next year? How can you stand in front of me tonight? If you want to achieve great things, the most important thing is to be informal, not to compete." ”

"So you want me to be like you, and do whatever it takes to achieve my goals?" Liu Xunyi asked rhetorically.

"Little brother, there's something I want to remind you. Ding Ao shook his head and said, "Although I have used you, compared to today's trouble, the grudge between you and me is not worth it at all." Right now, your biggest enemy is not me, but the Golden Sword Dock and the Red Wind Ridge. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi was secretly shocked in his heart, and said suspiciously: "What do you mean by this?"

"Now I'm in the same boat with you, and I'm both good and bad. Ding Ao explained, "You should know that in addition to the palace masters, the Jade Dragon Palace has the most weight than the three flag masters. At the moment, in addition to me, the other two support Jin Jianwu...... I've said it to this point, and you should know what I mean. ”

Liu Xunyi stared at Ding Ao suspiciously, but he didn't speak for a long time.

"If it weren't for my help, how would you have been invited here by Yang Huai?" Ding Ao reminded.

Liu Xunyi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The implication is that the palace master has not been ...... yet."

"That's right! The palace master, his old man, has not yet made a final decision. Ding Ao nodded heavily and added, "Therefore, just because you are invited up the mountain does not mean that you have won." To tell the truth, the people of Jinjianwu and Chifengling were also on the mountain at this time. ”

"What?"

"Don't worry. Ding Ao waved his hand and smiled, "Without the palace master's order, none of them dare to act rashly." ”

At this moment, Liu Xunyi was full of confusion and mixed feelings, and hesitated: "Why do you want to support us?"

"I'm not supporting you, but supporting King Shaoqin. Ding Ao smiled, "If it weren't for the young Qin king's guarantor, you wouldn't even have a chance to go up the mountain." The last time I let you go, it was because someone interceded for you. I have come to make peace with you tonight, also because someone has reconciled them. ”

"Who?"

"Me!"

Before the words fell, Xun Qin had come slowly from the night.

At this moment, she looked at Liu Xunyi's beautiful eyes, and there was a hint of cunning that appeared.
