The night is set off by the moonlight, which makes it even more mysterious.

At the top of the crane peak, in the pavilion, Xun Yu and Xun Wei played silently.

Outside the pavilion, Jiang Yan and Xun Wei's entourage sat separately and did not disturb each other.

Xiling Sword Sect, Xiao Lingmai, Yunluo, Pei Zhen, Cui Pheasant, Lu Qi, and Fu Tianqi sat in a circle, whispering and smiling.

In the Sect Master's Hall, Sect Master Chen Qingfeng, Bai Qingyue and other six elders sat together, discussing the big and small problems of the Sword Sect with solemn expressions.

In an elegant guest house, Yang Qing, Wen Wei, Yan Jinghan, and Zhou Mo sat at the table, the table was full of side dishes with wine, they picked up their wine glasses, ate a bowl of fireworks in the world, and drank a few cups of life ups and downs.

And in Jincheng, half a day's journey, no one slept.

Qiao Yan, the eldest son of Qiao Zhou, the king of Shu, rode his horse and rushed straight to the door of the main hall, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, ran to the palace, knelt down towards Qiao Zhou and said, "Father, are you okay?"

Qiao Zhou glanced at him and the two entourages behind him, "It's okay, get up." ”

Qiao Yan didn't get up, but knelt on the ground again, "It's just an urgent matter, I rode in the palace, and asked my father for forgiveness." ”

Qiao Zhou's face finally had a slight smile, "Since it has been said that the matter is urgent, it doesn't matter if the matter is urgent." ”

"Thank you, King Xie. Qiao Yan got up slowly, stood beside the steps under Qiao Zhou's chair, protected Qiao Zhou behind him, and glared at Qiao Wan angrily.

The strange thing is that Qiao Wan didn't say anything under Qiao Yan's actions, and just watched quietly.

After Qiao Yan stood still, Qiao Wan snorted coldly and said to a few people behind him: "Look, my father has always been like this, the same thing, I did it, it was arrogant, and if he did, it was smart and kind." ”

After saying this, Qiao Wan stared at Qiao Yan deadly, "The mongrel who came out of the concubine, I was afraid that you would escape, and I was thinking about where to catch you, but I didn't expect to send it directly to the door, since this is the case, no wonder I am ruthless!"

Qiao Yan stood quietly, Qiao Wan's vicious words failed to stir up a trace of waves on his face, "This is your plan? The rebels attacked the city, killed their father and killed their brother, such a blood-stained throne, can you sit safely?"

Qiao Wan sneered, there was a reliance behind him, naturally he was not afraid, he stepped forward and stretched out his index finger to poke Qiao Yan's forehead, "You won't be stupid when your virtuous eldest son, right?"

Qiao Yan just let his younger brother poke his forehead, and even rubbed a little bit of the flesh on his forehead, but his face still didn't change, "Father was originally going to pass the throne to you, why be so anxious?"

Qiao Wan snorted, "I'm afraid that if I don't do it again, this hereditary reckless prince will be in your hands, right?"

Looking up at Qiao Zhou, who was sitting tall, "Father, what do you say, we've been grinding here for a long time, can you give me an explanation?"

With these words, several eyes below looked at the King of Shu.

Qiao Zhou looked down, his face turned red, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, and finally only let out a long sigh.

Just as Qiao Wan's face was fierce and he was about to make a decision, Qiao Yan's voice sounded, "You won't succeed." ”

Qiao Wan stared at him fiercely and said viciously, "Noise!"

After speaking, he was about to kick Qiao Yan's abdomen.

Behind Qiao Yan, Gan Su, who was in the same grade as Yunluo, hurriedly pulled Qiao Yan back.

Seeing that this person was extraordinary, Qiao Wan retreated to his family's side, pointed at Qiao Yan and said, "Kill this bastard first!"

Dong Shen and Yu Heng beside him moved.

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

In a small courtyard, there were dozens of white horse gangsters.

At the front of the team were the upper elders of the White Horse Gang, and behind them were all the big and small leaders who were now in charge of many of the White Horse Gang.

Originally, the White Horse Gang did not have so many middle-level gangs, but now the territory has been greatly expanded, especially in the first two days, under the leadership of the gang leader and the military advisor, not only successfully resisted the joint counterattack of the Huoyun Gang and the Gale Society, but also took advantage of the situation to simply destroy these two gangs and sit on the top spot in the underground of Nancheng, which made many of the original White Horse Gang members soar and become small leaders in charge of a street or two alleys under their hands.

Therefore, at this moment, in the courtyard, everyone's expressions are full of fanaticism, and this fanaticism is brought about by the dizzying battles and victories in these short ten or twenty days.

They were waiting for their own helpers and advisors, who were already their gods.

In the room of the small courtyard, Fu Lin sat at a table, tapped the table with two fingers, looked at Cen Wuxin, who was standing solemnly in front of him, and asked, "Since you already know the identity of your master, then let me ask you, why doesn't he call his people directly?"

This identity will naturally not be the deepest identity, but the identity of the underground leader of Jincheng on the bright side, and the identity of the speaker of Shengxian Lake City.

Cen Wuxin's body did not move, thought about it, and slowly spoke, "Unintentionally dull, please ask Mr. Fu to solve your doubts." ”

Fu Lin was not angry, but just mentioned, "In the future, you must learn to think more." ”

After getting Cen Wuxin's sincere response, he told him eloquently, "It has been a short year since your master unified the underground of Jincheng and formulated the rules of the underground world. ”

He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, "But if these people want to do that knife licking blood again, even with the prestige of your master, it is impossible to fall into the abyss if they are careless." ”

He looked at Cen Wuxin, who was frowning slightly, "What are you thinking?" ”

Cen Wuxin was entangled, and finally said frankly, "I'm wondering if Master is using me." ”

Fu Lin put down the tea cup in his hand and stared at Cen Wuxin's sincere eyes, "I can tell you, yes." ”

Cen Wuxin's body did not move, but the fists in his sleeves were quietly clenched.

Fu Lin glanced at his cuffs and smiled, "Has your master been sorry for you until now?"

Cen Wuxin shook his head decisively.

Fu Lin asked again, "Does your master have any kindness to you?"

Cen Wuxin nodded decisively, "Enbi is bigger." ”

"Then why did I say that your master is using you, and you are shaken and unable to calm down?"

Cen Wuxin was shocked and slowly lowered his head.

Fu Lin refilled himself with a cup of tea, blew the tea foam, took a sip, and said lightly: "I heard that the rivers and lakes are reckless, and the most righteous spirit in his life?"

Cen Wuxin looked up at Fu Lin, "People are in the rivers and lakes, and righteousness comes first." ”

Fu Lin smiled, "Then what does this word mean?"

Cen Wuxin knew that Fu Lin's question should have a deep meaning, but he still told his understanding in 1510, "I don't want to reciprocate, no matter how poor or low, I am not afraid of dangers." ”

Fu Lin nodded and snorted, "To sum up, it's the word pure?"

Cen Wuxin thought about it for a while, and felt that Fu Lin had summed it up too well, so he couldn't help nodding.

Fu Lin looked at the tea cup in his hand, in the white porcelain wall, there seemed to be a tender green bamboo leaf slowly rising and sinking, walking up and down, the transparent white water soaked out a piece of clarity, he said: "But how can this world be pure? ”

Cen Wuxin's eyes widened slightly, and his face was puzzled.

Fu Lin smiled, "If a person does what you said before, he is not your best friend, brother." Are you willing to go to the soup for him, and stick a knife in both sides? ”

Cen Wuxin said firmly: "Yes!"

"What if one day you find out that he has put gold and silver above your brotherly affection?"

"Throw it away. ”

"If you put power and beauty on it?"

"Throw it away. ”

"What about the wife and children?"

"Abandon ......" Cen Wuxin didn't spit out that word after all.

Fu Lin smiled and said: "Look, this is your position, but there are also such heroes in the rivers and lakes, they don't care about power and beauty, they don't care about their wives and children, they like gold and silver treasures, and their answers are different." Are they pure?"

Cen Wuxin frowned and thought silently.

Fu Lin's voice was unhurried, "We are accustomed to demand from others according to the standards of saints, and to restrain ourselves with the minds of laymen. Asking friends and brothers to be pure and thorough about themselves, but they fiddle with those little ninety-nine without knowing it. We can't expect all our friends and brothers to stand the same way as ourselves, if you treat money like dung, and he is shy in his pocket, you can't be friends? On the basis of becoming friends, as long as you have not deliberately hurt yourself, then it is not considered to be a mistake, and if you still help yourself, it is a thing that is worth being happy about, a thing that needs to be grateful. ”

Cen Wuxin's confused eyes regained their clarity, and he reached the ground towards Fu Linchang, "Thank you Mr. Fu for your advice." ”

Fu Lin smiled and said, "Go, order good manpower, let's get ready to go." ”

Looking at the back of Cen Wuxin pushing the door out, Fu Lin picked up the tea cup and swallowed the unspoken words and tea soup back into his stomach.

"Many people demand purity, but they are actually calculating the gains and losses. ”

The reason why I didn't say it was because Cen Wuxin was not.

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

After giving the order to kill Qiao Yan, Qiao Wan, who stood upright, smiled confidently, on his side, there was the head of Qingxi Jianchi Chai, who was in the middle of the Seven Realms, and there was also Liu Chengfeng of the lower grade of the Six Realms guarding the Xiaonan Palace Gate outside, and Dong Shen, Yu Heng, and Zhao Ke These are also cultivators of the Second Realm, you are a person who can't practice, and today is a difficult escape.

Suddenly, two hands pulled his arm to the side, one left and one right, and then twisted it back, Qiao Wan was shocked, "Dong Shen! Yu Heng! What are you doing?!"

Zhao Ke was startled, and was about to make a move, when a sword light flashed, and his neck was cut off by Chai Yupu, and his head rolled to the ground.

Chai Yupu said lightly: "The king is right, how can you wade through this muddy water." ”

On the throne, Qiao Zhou sighed softly.

Qiao Wan turned his head and roared at Dong Shen and Yu Heng: "What are you doing, you want you to kill him!"

The two of them were expressionless.

Qiao Yan walked over slowly, and Dong Shen and Yu Heng kicked Qiao Wan's leg with one kick, making him knees weak and kneeling on the ground.

Qiao Yan looked at him condescendingly, "Although you don't recognize me as an elder brother, I still have to recognize you as a stupid younger brother." ”

Qiao Wan's eyes erupted, Qiao Yan shook his head, "You haven't thought about it, there are heavy soldiers and masters in Xiaonangong Gate outside, how did I get here?"

Qiao Wan was shocked and looked at Chai Yupu, Chai Yupu's eyes were full of indifference.

He struggled desperately, but his hands held him firmly like iron tongs.

Qiao Yan pulled out the long sword from Yu Heng's waist and gently rested it on Qiao Wan's shoulder, "Stupid brother, although you have made such a big mistake, beg me, kneel on the ground and beg me, maybe I can spare your life." ”

Qiao Wan's voice had become sharp, "Dream, you bastard, Lao Tzu will never ask you for a word in his life, and Lao Tzu will not let you go when he turns into a ghost!"

Qiao Zhou's voice suddenly sounded, "Yan'er, leave your brother alive." ”

Qiao Yan turned his head to look at his father, his face full of consternation, "Father, it is a capital crime to raise an army and rebel!"

Qiao Zhou sighed and said, "I will demote him to a concubine and save a life." ”

Qiao Yan looked up to the sky and sighed, threw the long sword in his hand on the ground, staggered around, and was about to walk towards the outside of the main hall in despair.

Dong Shen and Yu Heng glanced at each other, Gonggong He sensed that something was wrong and flew over, but was stopped by Chai Yupu in the air, Dong Shen pulled out his long sword, and a sword pierced Qiao Wan's heart.

Qiao Wan looked at Dong Shen with a face full of disbelief, this Dong Shen, who had been following him and flatteringly, actually dared to really be on top of this hall and kill himself with a sword.

Qiao Zhou collapsed on the throne in a dejected manner, looking up at the dome of the main hall, tears falling silently.

Qiao Yan, who had almost reached the door of the main hall, was alarmed by the movement behind him, turned around to look, rushed over and pushed Dong Shen away, hugged Qiao Wan's lifeless body, and cried tears.

Dong Pan and Chai Yupu glanced at each other, and then he took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is virtuous and open-minded, gentle and benevolent, which is the desire of the people of Shu and the people. Now that the second son has passed away, I hope that the king will make a decision as soon as possible to reassure the people. ”

Qiao Zhou slowly retracted his gaze, picked up a handkerchief, wiped a few cloudy tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Qiao Yan who was crying heartbreakingly, and his tone finally became indifferent, "Is this your plan?"

Qiao Yan raised his head blankly.

Qiao Zhou looked at Chai Yupu, "The national teacher's handwriting is really powerful." It seems that I can't help but listen. ”

Chai Yupu arched his hand apologetically towards Qiao Zhou.

Qiao Zhou looked at Qiao Yan who was sobbing blankly, and the coldness had already climbed to the corners of his mouth, "I've pretended to be virtuous all my life, and finally I can't pretend to be able to do it?" Is An'er also in your plan?"

Qiao Yan wiped away her tears and got up slowly, "Father, it's very boring to tear your face like this." ”

Qiao Zhou photographed the table in front of the table, and the majesty of the King of Shu finally exuded, "I don't care if you use some small means and some small tricks for this position." But why did you kill your brother, blood is thicker than water? This chair is so important that you can't recognize your six relatives?"

Qiao Yan raised his head and faced his father's anger for the first time, "How can you sit on the throne of Shu with such an idea." Let it out. ”

Qiao Zhou looked at him condescendingly, "What if I don't let it?" Are you going to send someone to kill Qiao An, so that I don't let it?"

Qiao Yan actually smiled, "Father is still quite smart. ”

Qiao Zhou leaned forward slightly, "If you don't let me, will you kill me directly?"

Qiao Yan shook his head, "That's not it, the days of recuperation are still reserved for my father." ”

Qiao Zhou angrily slammed his fist on the desk, ignoring the pain in his hand, "Your Majesty and the National Teacher really allow you to do such nonsense?"

Qiao Yan stared at Qiao Zhou, "Dear Father, Your Majesty and the National Teacher are not allowed to continue to do anything wrong. ”

Qiao Zhou sat back on the throne and was silent.

"Father, make a decision early, maybe I still have time to recall the Liu Jianxian who just left for Qiao An's house. ”

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

In a secret room in the West Side, several men sat upright.

Dong Pan's younger brother, Dong Pu, the head of the Dong family;

The head of the Yu family, Yu Yibo;

The ancestor of the Yin and Yang family, Dai Mingjing.

Dai Jiangshu, the head of the Dai family, was eaten by the blood oath because he used a secret method to calculate the lotus, and he had become a wasted person.

Dong Pu and his brother's appearance were almost carved out of the same mold, and he said in a deep voice: "At this moment, the dust on the eldest brother's side should have fallen to the ground." ”

Yu Yibo frowned, "There won't be any problems, right?"

Dong Pu glanced at Yu Yibo, and wanted to say a few sarcastic words, but thinking that it was thanks to this person to buy the city defense army that the eldest brother was able to enter the city quickly, and eased his tone slightly, "Two thousand elite Jingnan troops, what else can happen in this Jincheng?"

Yu Yibo nodded, "That's right." ”

Turning his head, he said to Dai Mingjing: "Can the old man help us calculate one or two more?" ”

Dong Pu's eyes widened, feeling that you, who are covered in copper, are you still not worried about my eldest brother?

Dai Mingjing shook his head slowly, "Hexagram is not counted, I have already calculated this matter, and the throne will change hands tonight." ”

Yu Yibo picked up the wine glass on the table, "Then I wish us another great future this time!"

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

The temperature on the top of the mountain was already very low, but fortunately, all four of them had practiced, and the ordinary cold and heat were not a problem.

Xun Wei frowned and looked at the chess pieces on the table, he couldn't survive anymore, so he simply threw in and admitted defeat.

"No, no. You can't win anything!"

Xun Yu asked, "Aren't you curious about how I won?"

Xun Wei pursed his lips, "You told me that when Huo Beizhen went to Qiao An's mansion to protect him a day ago, I knew that there was no help." As for the rest, if you are willing to say that you have said it earlier, it will be difficult for me to dig it out if you want to hide it. ”

Xun Yu didn't care about the chess pieces scattered by Xun Wei on the table, "That's it?"

Xun Wei got up, bowed and arched his hand, "Congratulations to my father." ”

Xun Yu stood up and walked slowly towards the carriage, Jiang Yan was already waiting aside.

Before Xun Yu got into the car, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Xun Yu, who had been following behind him, "Can I send you a word?"

Xun Wei said respectfully: "Listen to me." ”

"Your uncle is still your uncle. ”

Xun Wei looked at the carriage in the distance and laughed, although he didn't recognize the father and son, it was not bad to recognize an uncle.

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

On the long street, there is only moonlight paving, and at this end of the street, there are two figures, one high and one low.

On the other end, there was another swordsman.

"I didn't expect you to be here. ”

"I thought about it, so I've been waiting for you. ”

"You left Xiling before the Sword Crown Competition?"

"Yes. ”

"That's probably not what our plan is going to do. ”

"Yes. ”

"But I still want to fight you. ”

"It should. ”

"Win or lose or live and die. ”

"It's all divided. ”

On that side, Liu Chengfeng of Qingxi Sword Pond pulled out his long sword.

On this side, Huo Beizhen of the Xiling Sword Sect asked the young man behind him to stand aside and drew his sword from behind.

Liu Chengfeng urged the sword technique, and Huo Beizhen rushed towards him.

The flying sword of the real name that the two had just recuperated touched in the air, and it ignited a spark.

When Huo Beizhen took the young man's hand again and walked towards the palace, the small sun under the moonlight on the long street had just dissipated.

Walking through the corpses all over the ground outside the Nangong Gate, the hands of the young man beside him were cold, and his body seemed to tremble slightly, but his steps were always firm and his expression was resolute.

Huo Beizhen said softly: "Don't be afraid, you are all the ones who want to be the king of Shu." ”

The young man nodded heavily, "I will remember the kindness of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Xiling Sword Sect." ”

Huo Beizhen stopped, turned around and patted the young man's shoulder, and looked into the young man's eyes, "For the sake of the people and hearts of Shudi." ”

The boy tilted his head and thought, "I see." ”

Huo Beizhen smiled lightly, "Let's go." ”

He led the young man, and the two figures disappeared into the dark city gate cave of the Nangong Gate.

Fu Lin's figure quietly appeared next to a large group of Miyagi defender captives, easily bringing down dozens of unsuspecting guards.

Behind him, Cen Wuxin quietly infiltrated with the backbone of the White Horse Gang, unraveling these defenders one by one, and letting them pick up their swords again.

Fu Lin looked at them, his momentum changed suddenly, and the evil qi that had been hidden for many years was released again, and he said calmly: "Follow me to quell the rebellion." ”

Cen Wuxin looked at Fu Lin's figure, which seemed to be completely different from the leisurely and peaceful Mr. Fu on weekdays, as if he was really a battlefield killing god who had waded through the sea of corpses and blood!

The defenders had just seen Fu Lin's elusive methods, and looked at so many sturdy men around him, and his heart was settled, and he was taken by Fu Lin's momentum, and nodded violently, "No!"

Under the leadership of Fu Lin, who was dressed in white, he rushed towards the gate of Xiaonangong.

Huo Beizhen quietly held the young man's hand like this, and walked silently behind the hustle and bustle.

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

Qiao Zhou said helplessly, "Mr. Cao, you are right, I admit it." ”

The smile froze on Qiao Yan's face, Chai Yupu's originally loose figure tightened slightly, Dong Shen and Yu Heng retrieved the long sword and held it in their hands.

A figure stepped out of the screen behind the throne.

Dressed in black, his face was grim.

Chai Yupu was like a great enemy, he only knew that before this person appeared, his divine sense had never noticed that there were others in this hall.

The two entourages who came in behind Qiao Yan, Gan Su naturally guarded with a sword, while the other retreated silently to the corner.

The man in black first bowed slightly to Qiao Zhou, nodded to Gonggong He, and then greeted the people in the hall below with a smile, "Isn't it a surprise?"

Chai Yupu snorted coldly, "Pretend to be a ghost, let this seat try your catties." ”

Cao Yelai hurriedly pointed at Gonggong He, "Your opponent is him." ”

Then he said to He Gong in his heart: "Hold him off for a few breaths, and I'll deal with the assassin of Qingyin Pavilion." ”

As he was talking, a spike suddenly stabbed out towards the back of Cao Yelai's heart, and Cao Yelai's figure shook and disappeared in place.

Chai Yupu faced He Gonggong, Qiao Yan seized the opportunity to let Gan Su, Dong Shen, and Yu Heng step forward together, and he was going to take this opportunity to end Qiao Zhou's life.

Qiao Zhou sat on the throne with his face unchanged.

Just when the three long swords were about to stab Qiao Zhou's body, Cao Yelai's figure suddenly appeared, kicking the three of them to the ground one by one, and carrying a bloody head in his left hand.

He threw his head in the hall, looked at the eyes that were open on the skull, and said contemptuously, "I am your ancestor." ”

By the way, he said to Chai Yupu and He Gonggong, who were still fighting: "Master Chai, rest." ”

Chai Yupu was annoyed in his heart, how could this high-grade assassin of the Qingyin Pavilion Six Realms disguised as Qiao Yan's escort be so useless, and if he gave himself a little time, he would definitely be able to kill this old eunuch, but now he had to stop.

He is not worried about his life, if he can't fight, it's no problem to escape, not to mention, after the dust settles, it is unlikely that anyone will dare to kill him, after all, this is still the land of the Daduan Dynasty.

He Gonggong retreated in embarrassment, the long sword in Chai Yupu's hand had already made him uncomfortable, not to mention the elusive natal flying sword, which almost cost him his life.

Cao Ye looked at Qiao Yan, "How about the eldest son, are you still playing?"

Qiao Yan glanced at him hatefully, and said gloomily: "Why don't you play, I still have nearly a thousand soldiers in my hands, I heard that the peak of the Eight Realms can deal with two or three thousand elite soldiers without escaping, I wonder if Your Excellency has arrived in the Eight Realms?"

When Cao Yelai heard this, his expression was a little serious, and he looked at Qiao Zhou, "Your Majesty, this is difficult." ”

Qiao Yan laughed, and was about to let Dong Pan give the order to attack, when suddenly a neat "Nuo!" came from the gate of Xiaonangong.

Immediately afterward, there was a noisy shout of killing, and it went straight to the main hall.
