A room in the Yuan Palace

It was a very sophisticated room, with ornate chandeliers illuminating the room brightly and long carpets taking up almost most of the room.

Amon held a book in one hand and chin in the other, and looked out through the window at the brightly lit and magnificent palace complex.

Her eyes were full of resentment.

At this moment, heavy footsteps and innocent confessions suddenly came from outside, attracting Amon's attention.

Before Amon could react, he heard the door "bang" and was pushed open, which frightened him.

Chen pursed his lips and strode in, Xing Xuan followed closely behind, with a helpless and innocent look on his face.

"Hey, hey, Chen, slow down, slow down, I really didn't mean that, don't be angry. Xing Zhen helped the hairpin on his head, trotted all the way, and followed behind Chen breathlessly.

Chen turned his head suddenly, glared at Xing Zhen, and said coldly: "I'm not angry, if you want to drink with others, you can go, what kind of anger am I." ”

"I didn't, I didn't mean that. Xing Xuan explained helplessly.

"You even cast a spell to get other people's golden roses, and in order to suppress those people, even your identity was exposed, you said you didn't want to, is it interesting?" Chen scolded, "You don't have to think about me, you can go if you want." ”

"No, I'm not here for ...... Hey, don't go. Before Xing Xuan could finish explaining, Chen turned around and walked straight into his room, slamming the door shut.

"Oops. Seeing this, Xing Xuan hurriedly chased after him, but the door was slammed by Chen, which made Xing Xuan eat a lot of food.

"........." Xing Xuan stood helplessly in front of the door, neither advancing nor retreating.

Amon looked at the two people playfully, and secretly laughed on the side.

"Who called you a heavy color and a light friend, yes. Amon flipped through the book, but his heart was full of stars, and the depression in his heart just now suddenly disappeared, and the indescribable happiness ensued.

After being silent for a while, Xing Xuan looked around at a loss.

Suddenly, he noticed Amon snickering on the sidelines.

Amon felt that Xing Xuan was looking at him, and quickly coughed dryly, holding a book to cover his face, and his face returned to his previous resentment and indifference.

Xing Zhen stepped forward faintly, sat opposite Amon with a sad face, and sighed deeply.

Amon ignored him, and Xing Xuan continued to stroke his forehead helplessly and sighed. And it's still a series of sighs, sighs with different patterns.

Amon was annoyed by him, so he put the book down and tilted his head to look at Xing Zhen.

"Okay, okay, don't sigh, what's wrong with you. ”

Xing Xuan breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he reluctantly told what happened today.

"So, you mean, she gave it to you on her own initiative, and you refused to give it to anyone else, also because you improvised and felt that her mask had something to do with those men in black three years ago, and you wanted to take this opportunity to investigate?" Amon analyzed carefully, looking at Xing Zhen with incredulous eyes.

"Yes, that's right, do you believe me?" said Xing Xuan, poking his head at Amon and glaring at him.

"I don't believe it. Amon looked at Xing Ying with suspicion and shook his head heavily.

"Oh my God!" Xing Xuan sat back suddenly, sighed helplessly, and raised his head and shouted, "Ming Jianna, I really don't have this idea, she is wearing a mask, how can I have a sudden rise in lust." ”

"You see you admit it yourself. ”

“............ I'll kill you!"

An hour later—Chen, who was in the house.

Chen An sat quietly on the bed, slowly touched the storage ring in his hand, and lowered his eyelids.

"I'm not, too fierce for him. Chen said to himself, his face a little softer.

"But he's so unreasonable!" Chen then changed his face instantly, and said indignantly, "I can't pull out when I see a beauty!

"No, Brother Xin is not usually such a person. Chen's face was full of worry again, "Could it be that what he said is true?

Thinking like this, Chen's heart became more and more unsettled, more and more impetuous, so he got out of bed and walked towards the door.

But when she got to the door, she regretted it again.

"No, that woman is so beautiful, what if Brother Xuan is really tempted. Thinking like this, the hand that was already holding the doorknob was retracted, "Brother Zhen is nearly sixteen years old, and it is normal to be tempted by such a beautiful person." ”

Chen returned to the bed with a sad face and buried his head in his lap.

Thinking like this, her heart was very sad and sad, accompanied by a slight pain, tears involuntarily slipped down her cheeks.

Cold tears touched her hands as white as jade and snow, and she seemed to realize that she was crying.

"What's wrong with me, Brother Xin is tempted, I should be happy for him, what am I angry about, what am I crying about. Chen said sadly, tears couldn't stop flowing, "I should be happy for him, but why am I so sad?"

Chen wiped away his tears, stood up, and walked towards the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she looked down and saw something gray.

By the light of the moon, she could see clearly that it was Xing Xuan who was sitting on the ground, holding a sword, leaning against the door frame and falling asleep.

Hearing Chen's door, he was excited, his eyes opened, and his sword was half drawn.

But then, he reacted that it was Chen who came out.

Xing Zhen rubbed her eyes, looked up at Chen, and said softly, "Don't sleep yet?"

Chen covered his mouth, and there seemed to be a crystal in his eyes.

She remembered that earlier today, Xing Xuan said to her with a smile in the carriage.

"So I have to keep a vigil for the eldest lady. ”

She thought he was joking, but he meant it.

After a long time, Chen said softly: "Go to bed." ”

Xing Zhen's eyes widened, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm going to sleep in your house?"

Chen pursed his lips, couldn't cry or laugh, and pushed his head: "What do you want? The bed is divided into two sides, if you dare to cross the line, you will be killed on the spot!"

Xing Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Aren't you angry?"

Chen snorted, ignored him, and walked towards the house.

Xing Zhen smiled, stood up and walked into the room.

Although the two of them shared the same bed and pillowed, they slept in their clothes, and drew a line from the middle of the bed, which was clearly distinguished, and no one was allowed to cross the line.

Even so, the two of them were still back to back, and their bodies did not dare to move at will, very cramped and restrained.

The two of them wondered why their hearts were beating so fast, and their eyes were wide open, and they didn't feel sleepy.

And just like that, the night passed.

The next day

Amon stretched his waist, yawned and walked out of the house, looking out the window at the rising red sun, in a very good mood.

When he put down his arm contentedly, he glanced at the sofa out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but be startled.

Xing Xuan and Chen were leaning on the sofa, the dark circles under their eyes were very heavy, and Xing Xuan was even napping for a while.

"What's going on? Amon was surprised, "What happened last night?"

"Nothing. Xing Xuan yawned and said.

Seeing this, Amon pursed his lips, rolled his eyes down, and looked at Xing Zhen mockingly.

"Yes, the sky has eyes. Amon said in his heart.

"By the way, Shang Ji is almost here, right?" Xing Zhen tried his best to open his eyes as if he remembered something.

As he spoke, Xing Xuan stood up, shook his head vigorously with dark circles under his eyes.

They had already discussed with Shang Ji that they would use his light skills to supervise the area around Beicheng to see if anyone would make another move.

Because Chen was still weak, he was forbidden to go with them by Xingxuan, and this is in the Yuan Hall after all, it can be said that there is no safer place in the entire Tianyou County City than here.

In this way, a few days before the ceremony, they either squatted in Beicheng and explored around, or they were doing things for Li Moqi in the Yuan Palace, or they were going to have fun with the people.

After a few days of understanding, Xing Zhen also learned from Shang Ji's mouth that his family was not wealthy, only an old mother, and he himself had nothing to do except for a good light skill and a pair of sharp eyes that could be called a "gentleman on the beam".

They searched for several days, but had no clue, the Assassin disappeared, day and night, never to be seen again, and the central officials of the expatriate returned one after another, all unharmed.

Seeing this scene, Xing Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but the doubts in his heart deepened.

But in the end, it seemed to be safe and sound, and Xing Xuan didn't think much about it.

In this way, a few days passed, and the ceremony was held as scheduled.

On this day, Xing Xuan had just opened his eyes and finished his meditative state, when he heard the sound of grand music, the sound of sheng flutes and drums, silk and bamboo orchestras, and various musical instruments filled the Tianyou County City, which was so lively.

Outside the Yuan Palace, a huge three-story terrace has been erected next to the square, and the dancers are dancing on it in an orderly manner, stepping on the drums, which makes people feel a sense of grandeur and solemnity in their hearts, and they are unconsciously serious and dignified.

A stone statue of the god was placed at the top of the terrace, with an offering in front and a huge drum in front of it, on which the female officials danced and beat the drum.

At this time, thousands of people have gathered on the periphery of the square, although there are many people, but there is no longer the hustle and bustle and disorder of the past, but looking at the high terrace, quietly waiting.

Offering to the heavens, performing sacrifices, sacrificing during the day, and burning silk at night are things that are solemn and solemn in eternity, and the regulations are cumbersome, how can it be child's play?

The sound of "boom" sounded, the huge door of the Yuan Hall slowly opened, and many officials lined up according to the size of their official positions, each holding a small box, stopping in five steps, raising his head and putting the small box on his head, and then putting it down, continuing to move forward, repeating the rules and repeating the rules, and being uniform.

Li Moqi, as the head of the inspection department, is naturally a high-ranking official, ranking in the front, while the eldest Sun Jing and the other side are like a knife-sharpened, thin old man in the front, each holding a long sword tattooed with seven treasures shining in the sun.

The three of Xing Yu were naturally also dressed in official uniforms, but because their official positions were still low, they could only rank at the back.

He looked at the old man next to Sun Jing, the elder at the front, and had a number in his heart.

That may be the branch of the palace that is not mentioned much.

In this way, the huge team walked to the terrace, turned a corner, separated on both sides of the Shinto in an orderly manner, and knelt down in an orderly manner.

The hundred officials knelt down, and suddenly, those people knelt and bowed their heads, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.

The kneeling Xing Yu was still in doubt, and suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums stopped, and the entire Tianyou County suddenly became very quiet and silent.

At this moment, a phoenix roar resounded throughout the entire Tianyou County City.

Xing Xuan couldn't help but quietly look into the sky, and suddenly his eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of him incredulously.

A huge phoenix is like being reborn from the ashes, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky, and its head is raised in the nine heavens.

The flames burning on it seemed to burn the clouds in the sky, and the scene was spectacular and breathtaking.

Xing Zhen looked carefully, only to find that the fire phoenix was a phantom, and at the heart of the phoenix, a woman in a gorgeous costume floated in the air, and her cold eyes scanned the person who was kowtowing.

The burning flames turned into a line of fire, and red ribbons fluttered in the wind on her front skirt, back elbows, and shoulder blades.

"Xiaguan (grass people) see the hall master. The crowd knelt on the ground one after another and bowed their heads in salute.

The hall master was silent, the fire in his left hand burned, and gradually turned into a pillar of fire, and when the flames dissipated, a scepter that was red up and down was held in his hand.

The phoenix phantom behind her dissipated, and she slowly fell to the top of the terrace, looking at the human-tall stone statue and raising her arms.

The drums stopped, the flute stopped, and the crowd looked at the noble lady in silence.

"Creek Road, noble deity, please enjoy these offerings, and bless the Yuan Hall to grow stronger and stronger like a ferocious beast, and the people under your rule to be as free as Qingluan in the sky......" The lady recited the prayer aloud, and the hairpin behind her head reflected the light of the sun, so holy and majestic on the high altar.

"General!" After a long time, the hall master suddenly broke off and looked at the old man under the terrace.

Xing Xuan was excited, and hurriedly raised his head and looked in the direction of Eldest Sun Jing.

Changsun Jing slowly stood up, holding the Seven Treasure Sword in his hand, raised his head slightly, and looked at the graceful and luxurious lady on the stage with his cold eyes, her beard as white as snow fluttering in the wind.
