At the same time, on the streets of Chang'an City, a carriage from Zhaoyuemen was driving slowly.

Xu Changfeng and Zhou Qixuan sat on the carriage, looking at the slanting sun in the distance, and the car couldn't help but look a little dim.

"Do you know why Zheng Kai invited me to this banquet?" Zhou Qixuan tapped his fingers lightly on the chair, looked at Xu Changfeng and asked.

Xu Changfeng shook his head, "Why?"

Zhou Qixuan said in a low voice: "A week ago, our people and the people of the Sword Fu Gang had a conflict in a street and alley in order to charge a little more peace money. They no longer dared to say anything, and left in disgrace. I thought it would end there, but unfortunately it didn't. ”

Xu Changfeng did not interject, but listened quietly. He is a military advisor hired by Zhou Qixuan, and what he needs to do is analyze the situation and achieve victory.

"The next day, the Sword Fu Gang gathered a group of people and went to smash a casino in Zhaoyuemen, and several guests were injured that day, making us lose a lot of money. Zhou Qixuan said with a solemn face.

Xu Changfeng's eyes blinked lightly and asked, "So you're making a big fuss for this reason?"

"That's a reason. Zhou Qixuan nodded, "At that time, I immediately went to find Zheng Kai, the leader of the Sword Fu Gang, to theorize, but unfortunately Zheng Kai was not in Chang'an at that time, and I was forced to lose face, so I couldn't directly attack their subordinates, so this matter was delayed again and again, and it dragged on until today." ”

Xu Changfeng whispered: "So the banquet we went to eat tonight was actually a peace banquet. ”

Who would have thought that Zhou Qixuan heard it, but said with a wry smile: "Yes, not all." During this time, after my private understanding, I found out that Zheng Tong was not in Chang'an, and the reason why he didn't see me was because he was going to meet a person with a very unusual identity. Maybe the one who really talked to him was just the one who passed the message, but nominally to meet that person. ”

"Who?"

"In the midst of the red wall. ”

When Xu Changfeng heard this, his face was slightly stunned, and he subconsciously looked at the most gorgeous place in Chang'an City, the palace surrounded by red high walls.

Xu Changfeng frowned and said very seriously: "Behind Zheng Kai, there are people in the palace supporting him?"

"That's how it should be. Zhou Qixuan nodded, "To be precise, someone in the palace wants to use the hand of the Sword Talisman Gang to deal with me." So tonight's banquet, I'm afraid it's not as simple as we think, if we're not careful, the peace banquet will become a Hongmen banquet in the blink of an eye. But what you said is right, Zheng Kai personally invited the appointment, and I have to go to the appointment, so I can't shirk this banquet tonight. ”

Zhou Qixuan is just a person who is mixed in the rivers and lakes, and he can be seen by the people in the palace, and his background should not be as simple as it seems. However, Zhou Qixuan didn't want to say, and Xu Changfeng wouldn't ask. It's better to keep a certain distance between them. The more you know, the sooner you're likely to die.

Xu Changfeng was silent for a long time, this is indeed a thorny question.

"It's just that who is Liu Bang and who is Xiang Yu, I don't know yet. Xu Changfeng stared at Zhou Qixuan, "You really look up to me, and you actually bet on me for tonight's win." ”

"I really can't think of a better candidate than you. Zhou Qixuan said, looking at the little afterglow that was left, and said, "As long as I can survive tonight, I can officially start a war against the Sword Fu Gang tomorrow." ”

Before you know it, the setting sun has dissipated, and night has fallen.

The carriage slowly stopped at the door of a restaurant, and two people, one older and one younger, stepped out of the carriage.

Xu Changfeng looked up at the brightly lit pavilion, and saw these three words written on the plaque at the door: Drunken Immortal Building.

"Let's go......"

Zhou Qixuan said, and the figures of the two people quickly blended into this lively flower and wine place.

It's not going to be easy to survive tonight.

......

Outside Chang'an City, the eastern suburbs of the forest.

Above the dim night sky, a few stars loomed out, flickering and dimming on this silent eastern suburb forest.

There was a sense of comfort everywhere in the forest, as if the world had fallen into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, two birds flapped their wings and rose up from the woods, and a few leaves fell from the air. A figure walked through the air with a fallen leaf, this person was very light, and stepping on the fallen leaf did not affect its falling speed.

The figure finally rested on a clearing, gasping slightly. The evening breeze swept across her face and stirred her long flowing hair, and she was a very beautiful woman. It's a pity that no one admires her graceful figure.

The woman carefully rolled up her sleeves, only to see that on her left arm, there was a reduced wound. The wound was very shallow and very slender, obviously a scar left by the sword qi.

At that moment, she suddenly frowned, looking up at the night sky where a full moon appeared.

I saw a long sword shining with golden light appear in the sky, falling straight from the sky. As the long sword continued to fall, it could be seen that above the golden light, there was also a person who was followed, a man in golden armor. His palm clenched the hilt of his sword, and the thick and striking green tendons were shocking.

Bang!

The sword fell to the ground, whipping up a large area of loess. There was a deep pit three feet deep and one foot long on the ground. The golden light faded, and the man made a smooth backflip in the air, and the armor drew an afterimage in the moonlight.

His feet landed on the ground steadily, one in front of the other, the sword in his hand was like an awakened beast, and the scale armor on the blade seemed to tremble slightly, exuding a terrifying coercion everywhere.

Ten feet further forward in the direction the man is facing, and the woman's position is located.

I saw him raise his scaly armor sword and gallop forward like a swift wind. The sword shone brightly, illuminating the gloomy woods.

The woman's palms were raised high, facing the bright moon in the sky.

It was as if a moonlight had condensed on her hand, and a small silver-white sword like a moonstone gathered in her hand. She gripped the hilt of her sword and swung her small sword to slash down.

For a while, the sword qi flew sideways, and the small sword seemed to turn into a bright streamer, dragging its long tail, leaving a clear sword shadow imprinted in the night sky.

"Bell!"

The small silver sword struck the tip of the scaly longsword, and it quickly slid down the blade, eventually hitting the latter's sword grid.

Rumble!

The two swords stopped moving, and the golden light on the scaly armor sword exploded violently like a lit firework, and countless spiritual power fluctuations spread outward.

Smoke and dust spread through the forest in the eastern suburbs, and the thick sky trees were uprooted like rice in a farmer's hand, and before they could land, they were chopped into several sections by the chaotic sword qi.

"Bell, bell!"

The two of them did not stop there, one gold and one silver, two lights and shadows kept flickering in the thick fog. Both of them swung their swords quickly, and the woman's sword had a feminine feeling that only women have, and every blow was just right to suppress the opponent's sword qi.

Several sword qi suddenly gathered on the armored man's body, as if bursting out of a thousand zhang of Buddha light, and the armor light opened towards the sun. The sword qi swam along with the scaly armor long sword in his hand, and he swung the final blow towards the woman like a broken bamboo.

"Whoa!"

The sword qi pierced the night sky and made a piercing sound.

I saw a silver light flickering, and a full moon appeared in front of the man out of thin air, as if the moon in the sky had fallen to the ground, blocking this powerful blow, this is the sword intent emitted by the woman.

"Sonorous ......"

With a crisp sound, the full moon was like a broken bronze mirror, constantly turning into fragments and falling to the ground, and finally only a white light and shadow, and then dissipated into the silent night.

"Hoo ......"

The man gasped.

Sweeping up the air to pursue the enemy, and immediately after landing on the ground, engaging in such a fierce battle was a big loss for him, even if he was a late-stage seventh-order cultivator......

The scaly armor sword in his hand had faded from its light, and within a radius of dozens of feet around him, there were rubble and trees that had been cut off by the waist, and it was a mess.

He looked around, but still didn't see the woman. It's just that in front of him, a large pool of bright red blood was left.

Although the woman escaped, she was injured after all, and it looked like the injuries should be serious......

"If you can take my sword, you should have already stepped into the late stage of the seventh order......

Shen Binglin looked up at the bright full moon in the sky and muttered in a low voice.
