"Hey, what is this?" Wen Changjian couldn't figure out the door for a while.

"This is the Soul Needle of the White Snake Ji of the Celestial Dragon Society. The purple-clothed maidservant explained the confusion for the Chinese prince.

"Where did Childe get it?" Wen Changjian was quite surprised after learning the origin of this silver needle.

"Do you know about the dead people in the east of the city early this morning?" asked the plain-robed boy with a restrained expression.

"I know, it is precisely because people died in Xiangyang City for no reason, Changjian also specially asked his subordinates to ask the yamen, and the person who died at the other end of the yamen said that he had met a bandit and was torn up the ticket. ”

The young man in the costume looked solemn and boldly speculated: "Could it be?"

The boy in the plain robe nodded and said, "Yes, that shopkeeper was killed by this silver needle through his neck." ”

The prime-robed boy continued: "It's probably because the Heavenly Dragon Society doesn't want the disciple of Xing Jiaxia to reunite, so it kills this shopkeeper who went to inquire about the news late at night. ”

Changjian finally understood. The young man in the costume said again: "But why didn't the Dragon Club directly attack that day?"

"Because there are masters in Xiangyang City to press the formation. The plain-robed boy looked out the window, and the crazy yellow-robed monk had long since disappeared.

"You just need to concentrate on the dynamics of the Wu family and act again, but don't startle the snake, otherwise... The plain-robed boy smiled and made a posture to wipe his neck.

"Changjian will not disappoint Childe. Wen Changjian patted his chest and said hesitantly.

"Childe, Changjian is dull, and there is one thing that I haven't figured out. Second Prince Wen asked again.

Say. The plain-robed boy said briskly.

"Chang'an to Jiangnan thousands of miles away, retrieving the beam dragon vein lock can let the palace of the flying fish guard on his behalf, why the son to single-handedly, to risk his own personal down to the south of the Yangtze River? The face of the young man in the costume was flushed with worry.

"Changjian, you don't know, you don't have to wait until you step into Yangzhou, every moment is full of dangers. The plain-robed boy replied calmly

Wen Changjian was puzzled.

"It's not that Ben Gongzi wants to risk his life to go to Jiangnan, do you think that Ben Gongzi is full of food and support?" ”

"Now in order to deal with the thief-hearted Da Liao, and my uncle Jiangnan who is about to move, my father can be said to be racking his brains, although this son is the eldest son, but for the sake of the great cause of the Great Liang, the father will definitely think twice, and re-select the prince who can take on the great task among the princes, and even set up another prince. The plain-robed boy said calmly.

Wen Changjian was like Mu Qingfeng and completely realized: "This is why I went down to Jiangnan this time?"

The prince nodded and said: "My second brother seems to have understood his father's thoughts, and has attracted many old ministers in the court, and he is even competing to be the first to perform in the use of troops against Liao, and my father is full of praise for this, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is running for the position of the prince, and I, the young seedling that has been held in the palm of my hand since childhood, is becoming more and more crumbling." ”

"The son is the destiny of heaven and the heart of the people, and who can shake the position of the prince of the prince. Wen Changjian said angrily.

"The commander of the emperor, the commander of the general, this time in addition to personally welcoming back the dragon vein lock of the Great Liang, he can also take this opportunity to dot along the road, lay down layers of obstacles, and prevent the possibility of King Wu directly entering the hinterland of the Central Plains, so that the father and the Manchu Dynasty know that the prince is a different candidate for the prince. Long Haotian replied

Wen Changjian's eyes were a little dull, looking at this man who was supposed to be chanting poems in the palace to make a group of concubines, and in the future, he could ascend to the top nine of ten thousand people without much effort, and he was speechless for a while.

The sky was getting dark, and the plain robe boy looked out the window and suddenly got up: "It's not too early, this son will go back first." ”

Wen Changjian wanted to get up to see him off, but was waved by the plain-robed boy to sit down.

The plain-robed boy and the purple-clothed maidservant went straight through the pearl curtain, and when they walked behind the curtain, they stopped slightly and said: "Changjian, you write a letter to your father, saying that this son asked you to pass it on, just say that the prefect of Xiangyang is unreliable, and the affairs of ordinary people sesame mung beans are just ignored, and the dead are still perfunctory, who will believe the officials after a long time? ”

Wen Changjian looked at the back behind the pearl curtain, his heart was hot, and he had the idea of entrusting his life, so he bowed his hand and said, "Take your life." ”

It was dark, and a young black man wearing a felt hat passed through the crowd, and she said to the middle-aged woman beside her in confusion: "Aunt Bai, why didn't you let me do it just now, the ice soul is obviously on that person's body." ”

The middle-aged woman who also wore a felt hat was fair-skinned, not at all like a woman who had stepped on the threshold of middle-aged, her eyes were cold behind the black curtain, like a pair of transparent snake eyes, she glanced at the long street and replied: "Zhitao, there are high-ranking people present just now, don't act rashly." ”

"Master, Aunt Bai, you are so careful, just now there was just a group of people eating melon seeds to join in the fun, could it be that Aunt Bai is talking about the grandfather and grandson who perform acrobatics?" asked the woman in black.

The middle-aged woman who was called Aunt Bai by the young woman shook her head.

"Who the hell is that? I missed an opportunity just now, and I didn't listen to Aunt Bai if I knew it earlier, so I should have snatched the ice soul with one hand. Under the curtain, the young woman cocked her mouth and muttered.

"Zhi Tao, don't mess around, have you forgotten the agreement you made with Aunt Bai before you came out?" the middle-aged woman said angrily.

"Zhi Tao remembers that after coming out, everything is up to Aunt Bai. The woman in black said in a rather frustrated tone.

"Just remember, your father told me to take care of your baby daughter before going out, this time Aunt Bai secretly took you out is already a bad rule, it is estimated that your father will have to be furious when you go back, if you have one less hair, your father will not poke a hole in the sky, so you have to listen to Aunt Bai in everything, and you are not allowed to act without permission, otherwise you will go back now." The middle-aged woman said in a resolute tone, without a trace of room to detour.

"Got it, all in all, Tao An kept to herself, and didn't make it difficult for Aunt Bai. The woman in black called Peach replied.

"By the way, Aunt Bai, you just said that there is a high-ranking person present, how tall is that high-ranking person, is there a sword Baitang's old devil who is as tall?" asked the young black-clothed curiously.

The middle-aged woman surnamed Bai showed a gentle look in her cold snake eyes, and asked with a smile: "Then peach, tell me, how many people can be as tall as Sword Baitang today?"

The young woman pondered for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I can't even do it, I'm afraid there is no one, right?"

The middle-aged woman stopped smiling and said: "In the crowd just now, Aunt Bai felt an inexplicable and powerful influx of qi, although it is not as good as the Demon Sword Bai Tang, but it is far better than you and me, and Aunt Bai is not sure what the realm is, so she didn't let you do it." ”

The young black clothes with eyebrows like a willow lowered his head slightly and muttered: "If I have a demonic realm like Sword Baitang, I will definitely meet a god to kill a god, a Buddha to kill a Buddha, and the ice soul will not be able to take it." ”

The middle-aged woman heard the young woman's whisper, and comforted with a smile: "Aunt Yibai, my peach has been smart since she was a child, and she never forgets to read books, and it is a rare good material for martial arts, as long as Zhitao is willing to work hard, maybe she can surpass that sword Baitang in the future and become the first demon in the world, and besides, there are many opportunities to seize the ice soul, so don't worry about the right talent anymore, the sad face is not good-looking, and Aunt Bai doesn't like to see the way the peach frowns." ”

"I listen to Aunt Bai, and I don't have to worry about the peach. The young woman grinned under the curtain and grabbed the middle-aged woman's arm.

The hustle and bustle of the night market, this pedestrian gradually drowned in the streets of Xiangyang.

To the meal, the Fuyuan Inn has long been a seamless place, the guests are continuous, many are Xiangyang City or other regular customers, to put it bluntly, the Fuyuan Inn is by everyone to pass on, praise each other to the time-honored brand, although the Xiangyang City Inn restaurant is dazzling, there is no shortage of amazing dishes of the dark horse, but like the Fuyuan Inn is the only one that has been passed down through the three generations, it is no wonder that the shopkeeper has taken great pains to keep the reputation of the Fuyuan Inn, if the reputation of the inn is bad, the huge Fuyuan Inn is only a shell, even if the appearance is glamorous and moving, it is difficult to impress the feelings of diners。

The plain-robed boy and the purple-clothed maidservant returned around the small roads in the city, returning to the Fuyuan Inn earlier than Bai Yun and Zhang Yuruo, the eyebrows and eyes were transparent and the shopkeeper of the shopping mall had already reserved a table with an excellent location for this plain-robed guest, and the plain-robed boy knew that this table was reserved for himself as soon as the plain-robed boy entered the inn, so he sat down in front of the empty table, and ordered Xiao Er to order a sumptuous wine and food and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

The boy in the robe stepped into the inn with his front foot, and the two of them also returned to the inn with their back feet.

Under the reminder of Ziyi, the boy in the plain robe opened his eyes and showed a smile and beckoned the two to sit down.

But Zhang Yuruo seemed to be in a bad mood, and went upstairs to the room directly after returning to the inn.

"Young Master Long, we will leave Xiangyang tomorrow. Bai Yun said.

"Are you in such a hurry? Didn't you hear about your senior brother and them?" Long Haotian showed a surprised expression.

Bai Yun shook his head and said, "We heard the news in the east of the city, and they have already left Xiangyang for Jiangnan, so we have to catch up with them as soon as possible." ”

Long Haotian narrowed his slender eyes, thought for a moment and said, "But there are two roads from Xiangyang to Jiangnan, water and land, how do you know which way your senior brother and they are taking?"

Bai Yun didn't think about it and replied, "By land." ”

"The Yangtze River runs from west to east, running through the east and west of the beam, and the waterway is convenient, unimpeded, labor-saving, and worry-free, and it is several times faster than the land route, why are you so sure that your senior brother and they are taking the land route?" asked Long Haotian.

"The purpose of this trip down the mountain is to practice and temper, although the land route is not as convenient as the water route, it can better train the mind, so senior brother, they will definitely take the land route. Bai Yun said categorically.

At this time, a table full of sumptuous delicacies was served, Long Haotian sighed lightly and said: "I didn't expect this meal to be a parting banquet for you and me, Rao has not been together for a long time, but from Yunmengze to Xiangyang, this journey can be regarded as an unforgettable experience." ”

Bai Yun rarely smiled.

Long Haotian raised his glass and said, "Bai Yun, if we have a fate, see you in Jiangnan!"

Late at night, the long street is deserted, but it is a rare quiet and comfortable, Baiyun lies on the bed without a trace of sleep, simply flips out of the window and jumps on the roof, the houses in the south in order to channel the rainwater, most of them are built of tiles and tilted to both sides, Baiyun's head is pillowed and his hands are slowly lying down, and the night breeze slowly blows on his face and feels awake.

Suddenly, there was a movement from the other side of the roof, and a woman in black also climbed onto the roof, and Bai Yun sat up immediately without knowing the situation.

The moonlight is like water, the willow eyebrows in black are curved, the lips are like Danxia, the skin is like snow, and the two pear vortices are looming.

"Vial?" Bai Yun's heart moved, staring blankly at the woman in black.

"The moonlight is so beautiful. The black man smiled like a flower, and said: "Don't be nervous, young man, I'm just like you, I can't sleep and come up to see the moon." ”

While the two were talking, a strange-looking yellow-robed monk walked along the long street, he seemed to be stepping on the melon skin and staggering, carrying a wine jug and sitting down at the entrance of the alley next to the Fuyuan Inn.

The woman in black noticed the yellow-robed monk, her expression changed slightly, and she also sat down on the roof.

"Shaoxia, where are you from?" asked the woman in black as the first to open the conversation.

For some reason, Bai Yun felt that the woman in black in front of him was like a small bottle, and there was an inexplicable kindness in his heart.

"North. ”

"Oh, how north. ”

"Girl, have you ever heard of Beiyan? ”

"Bei Yan?"

"Hmm. ”

“。。。。。。 ”

Under the moonlight, the shadows of the two were slender for the moonlight, and the shadows sprinkled through the eaves and tiled roofs on the long street.
