The grassland has a grassland tradition, which is the reason why the grassland is strong;

But the grassland also has the disadvantages of the grassland, which is the reason why the grassland cannot always be strong.

In the reform of removing the turnip and preserving the essence, the successive controllers of Beiyuan have grasped a balance well.

How to learn the advantages of the court in the south and how to retain the essence of the core of the grassland are all issues that successive emperors have always considered.

Just like the palace in front of him, it has the same majestic atmosphere as the palace in Tianjing City, but at the same time, it also cuts off those unfashionable exquisite luxury.

The straight and simple lines, the thick and monotonous colors, vividly reflect the recklessness and roughness that belong to the grassland.

When the Hall of Eternal Life was in sight, Cui Pheasant couldn't help but breathe a little rougher, after all, what she was about to face was one of the two most noble men in the world.

Just looking at the dome of the Hall of Eternal Life, it seems that there are countless cavalry, wielding scimitars, whistling and rushing, and the noisy and dense hooves of horses, showing speed and strength, crushing the fire and blood.

Pei Zhen took Cui Pheasant's hand and gently squeezed his tender palm, "It's okay, there is me." ”

Cui Pheasant smiled and glanced at him, and the two walked into the hall side by side.

After the great prostration, a gentle voice came from the throne above, "Get up and speak." ”

The two of them lowered their heads and slowly got up.

"Cui girl, raise your head. He spoke in a gentle voice with a smile but no doubt.

Cui Pheasant raised his head, and finally saw the face of the man standing at the highest place in the North Abyss.

is not as rough as the imaginary prairie man, under Xue Lu's well-defined face, the combination of facial features is actually a bit of a southerner's delicateness.

A pair of wise and deep eyes, thick eyebrows.

With a high nose bridge and thin lips, he is clearly a beautiful man in the secular sense.

This is very different from a certain image that Cui Pheasant has always imagined, and for a while, she was also a little dumbfounded.

Similarly, Cui Pheasant, who had already taken off her veil, also used her amazing appearance to light up this monotonous hall.

"How is the scenery of the North Abyss?

Xue Lu asked with a smile.

The education since childhood was not in vain, Cui Pheasant quickly returned to normal, and was generous, "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, everything is fine." ”

After a few more simple and kind greetings, Xue Lu pointed to the outside of the Hall of Eternal Life, "Although this imperial city is not luxurious, it also has a unique flavor, so you might as well go around." ”

After speaking, he instructed Gonggong He to lead Cui Pheasant to go shopping.

In the gentle tone, there is unquestionable authority.

Cui Pheasant glanced at Pei Zhen worriedly, and Pei Zhen nodded slightly at her, indicating that it was okay.

Waiting for Cui Pheasant and Gonggong He to leave, Xue Lu waved all the guards in the Hall of Eternal Life away.

"Bell!" a metal object was thrown in front of Pei Zhen by Xue Lu.

"Pick it up, kill me, and avenge your uncle. ”

An indifferent voice came from overhead, and a dagger lay at his feet.

There is no one else's hall, Xue Lu who doesn't know how to practice, and himself who cultivates his divine conception, Pei Zhen's heart suddenly went crazy

Jump.

Pei Zhen slowly bent down, picked up the shiny sharp dagger from the ground, and looked up at his father.

He sat there, and the little gentleness he had towards Cui Pheasant had long since disappeared, his expression was as cold as ever, and there was a faint trace of familiar disgust in his eyes.

When he arrived at the Sword Sect, Pei Zhen learned that there was a saying that people with thin lips were cold and ruthless.

Looking at his father's slightly pursed thin lips, Pei Zhen thought so.

The whitish knuckles showed how hard the hand held the dagger, and this strength showed the fierce struggle in the master's heart at the moment.

Suddenly, a gust of wind passed through the cracks in the windows and portals of the main hall, making a soft noise.

Pei Zhen moved.

---------------------------

The palace city in the Immortal City is indeed not as delicate and beautiful as the one in the Tianjing City, but it is better than an open atmosphere.

But Cui Pheasant didn't show any interest at all, and when he came out, his heart stayed in the Palace of Eternal Life.

After all, in this world, no scenery can transcend the viewer's heart.

She walked through a palace, garden, and meadow with great speed, and then turned her head to look at the silent but always three feet behind her, "Grandpa He, can I go back?"

Gonggong He always had a smile on his face, and there was a bit of kindness, "If you are tired, the old slave will take you to the palace gate to rest for a cup of tea." ”

The meaning is very clear, either walk here or wait at the door.

Cui Pheasant looked anxious, "But!"

Gonggong He lowered his head slightly, his body was rickety, and his voice was extremely low, "Tiger poison does not eat children." ”

Cui Pheasant's eyes froze, as if he understood something, he arched his hand towards Gonggong He, turned around and continued to move forward.

Gonggong He followed behind Cui Pheasant, glanced at a high pavilion not far away without a trace, and then continued to bow his head and move forward.

In the high pavilion, a beautiful woman in palace costume stood in front of the window, and two palace maids behind her respectfully followed the left and right.

"This is the woman that the little mongrel brought?"

The beautiful woman lightly opened her lips, her voice was gentle and lazy, and her words were vicious and domineering.

"Yes. It is rumored that this daughter is the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe. A maid behind him replied respectfully.

"Hmph! Qinghe Cui's daughter-in-law can take a fancy to him? Most of them are some distant relatives of the side branches, and they brought it back to serve as a façade, and the little bastard is really alert. ”

The beautiful woman sneered, looking at Cui Pheasant's figure, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

This disgust is the natural jealousy of a woman when she sees a woman who is more beautiful than herself, and the intentional hostility because of a different position.

Then the slave and maid ordered someone to investigate. ”

A qualified subordinate will take the initiative to check and fill in the gaps for the master.

"Think about it and see if you can find out the situation in the Hall of Eternal Life, remember to hide and don't be discovered. The beautiful woman commanded.

"In addition, the identity of this woman is confirmed as soon as possible. If it is really the daughter of the Cui family, send a letter to Brother Ming. ”

In the maid's consent, the beautiful woman stretched her waist in the wind, and in her lazy demeanor, her graceful and charming figure was revealed

Doubt.

When Cui Pheasant came to the palace gate, Pei Zhen's figure also happened to appear in sight.

Facing Cui Pheasant's worried gaze, Pei Zhen smiled easily.

He saluted and thanked Gonggong He, and deserved respect for this great mink temple who had served Emperor Yuan for many years and had a transcendent status, no matter what the purpose.

Gonggong He smiled slightly and returned the salute, unable to find any fault in the etiquette, and at the same time it also meant that there would be no other kind of closeness and alienation.

The sun had already set in the west, stretching the back of the departure, Gonggong He rolled up his sleeves, looked at Pei Zhen's back that was almost exactly the same as Xue Zheng, and the pair of faintly trembling fists hidden in his sleeves, and sighed lightly: "Just like a tiger lying on a barren hill, lurking minions endure it." ”

----------------------------

According to the previous arrangement of everyone, Chi Xuance and others also entered the city and waited for news from Pei Zhen in a restaurant near a mansion.

That was Pei Zhen's former residence in Immortal City, which occupied a large area and was designed for him by Xue Zheng himself.

During Xue Zheng's lifetime, the mansion was well kept and spotless.

Now that the General's Mansion has disappeared in an instant, the hired subordinates in Pei Zhen's Mansion are naturally scattered like birds and beasts, and the manpower belonging to the Department of Internal Affairs has naturally been taken back.

Fortunately, Xue Yong stood up in time and said a word, and sent a team of guards from his own family to guard it, otherwise Pei Zhen's house would be ransacked.

On a table facing the street in the restaurant, Cui Xian, Mei Ziqing, Fu Tianqi, Chi Xuance, and the little girl Suihe, five people in all directions, sat around eating meat.

Fu Tianqi, who was sitting on a bench with Suihe, was not as cheerful as Suihe ate at all.

He looked at Chi Xuance, who was also eating meat, with some concern, and hesitated: "Brother Chi, they will be fine, right?"

Cui Xian picked up the wine bowl, smiled, and craned his neck to drink.

Mei Ziqing was as silent as ever, slowly tasting the authentic grassland flavor that was rare in the Daduan Dynasty.

Chi Xuance tore off a fragrant roasted leg of lamb and handed it to Fu Tianqi with a smile.

Fu Tianqi took it in a daze, feeling powerless about this smile, Brother Yun was not there, and there was another Brother Chi, anyway, he felt like a fool.

Chi Xuance said with a smile: "Don't worry, you see that Mr. Cui is well-informed, far-sighted, and calm." ”

Cui Xian smiled and shook the meat strip in his hand, "I'm hungry." ”

"Do you think His Majesty Emperor Yuan knows that we are coming to the North Abyss?" Chi Xuance asked Fu Tianqi a question.

Fu Tianqi thought for a moment and hesitated: "You should know, right?"

"Since we know, then why can we enter this Immortal City safely?" Fu Tianqi's face was full of smiles.

Fu Tianqi suddenly realized, "Are you saying they'll be fine?"

Chi Xuance nodded, and sighed again, "But it's just that it won't be fine, if we want to get the results we want, it depends on how much concentration Brother Pei can show." ”

At Pei Zhen's strong request, Chi Xuance finally stopped calling him His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince.

Cui Xianzi

Gu Zidi drank wine and ate meat, he once asked Chi Xuance another question, why the three cavalry behind him did not attack, it is said that his party has entered the North Abyss for many days, and it is completely too late to mobilize masters.

And in the huge North Abyss, the three princes with heavy troops in their hands could not find a few masters who could match them.

Chi Xuance's answer was the same, because Emperor Yuan knew.

Since Emperor Yuan knew that he did not give the order to make a move, no one dared to take that risk against his party.

Especially the three princes who are fighting for the throne is intensifying, whoever takes the lead in making a public shot means who may be the first to be kicked out.

At that time, Chi Xuance once looked at the palace in the depths of Immortal City and sighed: "This time, we can only use this trick to the extreme, and have a good time with an empty glove white wolf." ”

Knowing that Pei Zhen and Cui Pheasant would be fine, Fu Tianqi's appetite finally improved, and together with Sui He, he ate with a mouthful full of oil.

------------------------------

Sui He was eating, and her aunt Zou He didn't stop.

On the hillside outside Changsheng City, Yang Qing used his cooking skills that he had cultivated for many years to firmly grasp Zou He's taste buds.

A roast rabbit, fragrant.

Zou He took the rabbit leg handed to him by Yang Qing and feasted on it.

A voice sounded suddenly, "I didn't expect the white-clothed sword fairy to have such cooking skills." ”

Yang Qing looked up at the comer.

The visitor wore a fifteen-pronged antler hat, a reddish-purple deerskin base, a black soft leather cardigan, and various ornaments such as copper bells and copper mirrors tied around his waist.

In the eyes of people who don't know how to do it, he lives like an unpopular merchant who walks the streets and alleys, but Yang Qing doesn't think so, he frowned, "Eile?"

"The white-clothed sword fairy is very knowledgeable. The visitor smiled and sat down by the fire without pretentiousness.

Yang Qing didn't have a good impression of this Beiyuan Great Shaman, who was ranked second on the heavenly list, and said coldly: "Something?"

He looked at the sizzling roast rabbit with an unchanged smile, "I smell it." ”

Zou He bit the rabbit leg in his mouth, freed his hand, tore off one of the front legs and handed it to Le Le, and then ate it to himself.

What about the second place on the heavenly list, I talked and laughed with Ling Qingyun, the first person in the world.

Looking at the eyes of Eile, who was still looking at the other huge hind leg, Yang Qing reached out and tore it off and handed it to Zou He.

Reluctantly, he tore off a piece of meat from his front leg and chewed it carefully.

"It's not been very peaceful on the prairie lately. He said coldly.

Yang Qing snorted coldly: "I have you a credit." ”

He smiled bitterly, "So, I hope that the grassland can be peaceful as soon as possible." ”

"What's my business. Yang Qingman didn't care.

Eile held the rabbit leg in one hand, and his expression was sincere, "Beiyuan internal affairs, I hope that the white-clothed sword immortal will not interfere." ”

Yang Qing stopped the stick in his hand and said a little formally: "As long as others don't oppress people with the realm, I am happy to be idle." ”

He looked at Zou He, who was eating wholeheartedly, with a gentle gaze, "After all, we are here to enjoy the mountains and rivers." ”

Eile's eyes condensed slightly, and then nodded, "Thank you to the white-clothed sword immortal." ”

Seeing that Eile's expression didn't seem to be fake, Yang Qing couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Since you want peace, why do you want to help Xue Lu cut down your Optimus White Jade Pillar?"

He shook his head and did not answer.

He was about to turn around and leave, Zou He threw the rabbit leg that was gnawed to the bone into the fire, and clapped his hands, "Remind you in advance, don't think about starting from me, your master is my subordinate." ”

He turned sharply and stared at Zou He.

Zou He smiled sweetly, "If you don't believe it, you can try." ”

-----------------------------------

Xun Yu sent a letter to Qin Li, although it was written, "It is not necessary to bully the small with the big." But the real meaning is also "If you don't believe me, you can try." ”

Qin Li silently felt the artistic conception of every word on this letter paper, and his expression was slightly resentful.

They are also the pinnacle of the Dao realm, but from this piece of letterhead, they are divided into high and low.

Qin Li knew that he really couldn't beat this seemingly old minister of Shu for the time being.

In the battle of Fog Hidden Valley, the Qin Pavilion Lord lost his son and his father, and was defeated.

And the court's apology was just that Xun Qingge led people to give up meddling and infiltrating Qingyin Pavilion, and at the same time sent some messy cheats and pills.

Qin Li was angry, but it seemed that there was nothing he could do except be angry.

After all, you can't even do the expected revenge by cutting off Yunluo's head.

So, the Qin Pavilion Lord turned into a cloud of shadows and drifted to the ice cave where Qin Mingyue and Guan Yin's bodies were parked, where he had to think of a way to talk to himself.

----------------------------------

It's very suitable, as soon as a table of wine and food was swept away, Pei Zhen and Cui Pheasant restrained the horse's hooves outside the mansion with the door closed.

Xue Yong's servants, who were originally guarding outside the mansion, handed over the key, and then all of them retreated.

Pei calmed down, pushed the door and walked in, looking at the familiar grass and trees, and the empty house, full of emotion.

Pei Zhen looked at Cui Xian and the others who followed them in, and smiled, "It's done, let's rest first, I'll go freshen up." ”

As soon as the words fell, he immediately smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, there is no one here to serve, let's make do with it first." ”

"Leave this kind of thing to me. Cui Xian smiled and took this job, these things were not unfamiliar to the elders of the Cui family in Qinghe.

Pei Zhen nodded, turned around and walked to the room where he once lived, and pushed the door in.

Chi Xuance looked at Cui Pheasant, "Miss Cui, what is this?"

Cui Pheasant shook his head, told him about his trip with Pei Zhen, and then said, "It's probably something happened in the hall." ”

In the room that everyone couldn't see, Pei Zhen sat on the ground with his back against the door, buried his head deep in the crook of his arm, and trembled slightly.

At that time, in the Hall of Eternal Life, the dagger was filled with his true yuan several times, and he wanted

Fight and kill Xue Lu.

But reason grabbed him stiffly.

Not to mention that with his understanding of Xue Lu, his father must have a successor;

Even if he can really succeed in killing Xue Lu, he will do himself all kinds of harm but no benefit.

If he is powerless and powerless, he is charged with killing a king and killing his father, wouldn't he be cheapening his ruthless brothers for nothing.

So, he walked to the steps in front of the throne, slowly knelt down, and raised the dagger high.

Xue Lu burst into laughter, got up and took the dagger, and then looked at him condescendingly, "Is there hatred?"

Pei Zhen lowered his head, "None." ”

"Don't dare or not?" Xue Lu didn't seem to have the intention of giving up.

The grief and indignation eventually turned into a humiliating word, "No." ”

Xue Lu laughed again, this laughter seemed to be mocking Xue Zheng, mocking the person he was optimistic about, what kind of scumbag virtue he was now, mocking the person he had tried his best to defend, and how he had forgotten him after his death.

Behind the door, Pei Zhen curled up in a ball, sobbing silently and trembling.

How difficult it is to endure humiliation!

--------------------------------

In the Hall of Eternal Life, Xue Lu played with the dagger and threw it backwards, "Let's see if there is a True Yuan injected into it." ”

Behind the shadow wall, there was an urn-like voice, "No. ”

Xue Lu frowned instantly when he heard this slightly surprised answer, and after muttering for a long time, he ordered the area of the fief in the edict that had been written to be reduced by half, and the number of the feudal guards was doubled.

The sun is fierce on the prairie, and the night comes early.

The cowardly and humiliating performance of the four princes in front of the palace gate, fueled by well-intentioned people, soon spread to all corners of Eternal Life City, and evolved into various versions.

There are those who sigh, those who scold, and those who gloat, and people react differently from different positions.

These colorful discussions did not stop, and a team of eunuchs rode out of the palace and went straight to the mansion of the four princes.

Many people who followed the movements of the Imperial City were moved.

Tonight is destined to be sleepless.
