......

Yu Lao was stunned, and said in a lost voice: "What are you asking for?"

Xiao Che glanced at the Beicang Realm behind him, and said with a smile: "Entrusted by the seniors in the Beicang Mirror. ”

Yu Lao nodded lightly: "Oh." ”

Then he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's just that I don't know much about the whereabouts of the teacher, it was a long time ago." ”

Xiao Che's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened at that time?"

Yu Lao groaned: "At the beginning, the teacher left in a hurry, as if he wanted to guard a place at the promise of an old friend. ”

Xiao Che swallowed his throat and said, "Where is it?"

Yu Lao thought for a long time and said, "It should be... Loulan Lake. ”

Loulan Lake-Xiao Che whispered again, silently remembering the name in his heart.

......

Accommodation.

After Xiao Che came back, Dazhi briefly recounted to him the changes that happened in the Divine Capital City during this time, and then said, "Young Master, that's it. ”

Xiao Che's five fingers Huo Ran turned into a fist, his knuckles creaked, and Sen Ran said: "This King of Qi is a good means, and he can pinch Zhitianwei in his hand." ”

He suddenly sighed again: "It's a little difficult for Luo Xixi." ”

Dazhi's eyes flashed with a strange luster, and he said in a deep voice: "This royal princess seems to be inconspicuous on weekdays, but who would have thought that at such a moment of life and death, even the strategizing King Qi would be a little deflated in front of her. ”

Xiao Che nodded and said, "At that time, King Qi was pressing step by step, and it is no wonder that he grew up in such an environment. ”

He continued: "Dazhi, what has been going on on the royal family lately?"

Da Zhi thought about it and frowned: "Recently, the royal family has been a lot quieter, and there has been no movement. ”

Xiao Che asked again, "What about King Qi?"

Dazhi said: "In just a few days, King Qi took full control of Yun Muguo and Mu Qing Clan with the power of thunder, and vigorously searched the whereabouts of the 70,000 dragoons in Youlian and his hands. ”

Xiao Che nodded.

At this time, Xiao Hong walked quickly with lotus steps, holding an envelope in his hand, and said, "Xiao Che, your letter." ”

Xiao Che took the letter and said, "Hmm." ”

The clear gaze swept confidently on the paper, his expression became sharper and sharper, and he shrunk the letter paper in his palm with a click, he raised his head and said in a lost voice: "Oh no." ”

Da Zhi and Xiao Hong hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Xiao Che handed the two of them the messy letterhead, looking a little dazed.

Xiao Hong picked up the letter and read it out loud:

If you want to save Luo Xixi, go alone to the ancient tree 100 meters west of Xuanyang Gate.

Xiao Hong lost her voice and said, "She was arrested?"

Dazhi said: "It doesn't sound like it's a joke, no wonder the royal family is so quiet during this time, it turns out that Luo Xixi ......"

Xiao Che's face was gloomy as water, his five fingers formed a fist, and his knuckles seemed to be white from the force.

He no longer hesitated and prepared to go.

Xiao Hong said: "Xiao Che, it's better to inform Dean Yu Lao and Zhuang of this matter, if it is King Qi's person, then it is better to let the study prepare early." ”

Xiao Che thought for a moment and said, "If I don't come back within half a day, you will inform me of the fast." ”

As soon as the words fell, his figure had disappeared a hundred meters away.

......

At this time, it was early spring, the sun was shining, and the breeze was warm, but everyone in the Shendu did not perceive the beauty of this early spring at all, and it seemed that a layer of invisible shadow was shrouded in their heads.

100 meters west under Xuanyang Gate.

Ancient trees are towering.

Xiao Che walked straight forward and stood under the tree, his gaze wandering around.

Suddenly, a man dressed in a coarse green shirt and looking like a civilian appeared in front of him, clenching his fists and saying, "Your Excellency is Xiao Che?"

Xiao Che nodded: "It's me." ”

The man in the green shirt bowed slightly and said, "Please come with me." ”

Xiao Che did not hesitate and followed.

On the way, Xiao Che asked, "Who is the person who wants me to come?"

The man in the green shirt just smiled and didn't answer.

After a few roads, the man in the green shirt actually avoided everyone and led Xiao Che into the palace wall, the vastness of the royal family was unimaginable, and after walking for a long time, they came to a dark stone maze.

Xiao Che muttered, "The royal family still has such an unknowable place. ”

The man in the green shirt smiled and said, "There are many secrets of the royal family. ”

He said and bowed slightly to Xiao Che, then pointed to a dark passage in front of him, and then said, "Xiao Gongzi, this is it." ”

Xiao Che said: "I'll go in alone?"

The man in the green shirt smiled: "I need to guard the door here." ”

Xiao Che nodded, and stepped into the dark passageway.

There was not a trace of light in the miserable passage, Xiao Che groped his way forward, and it was not long before a light gradually came from his eyes, filling his eyeballs, making his eyes a little stinging, and his mind was also a little dizzy because of this, but fortunately, this feeling quickly recovered.

Xiao Che was no longer an inexperienced hairy boy who had just entered the red dust, and the moment he walked out of the pitch-black passage, he immediately activated his breath, and his sharp eyes looked around vigilantly, always on guard against the cold killing intent from the darkness around him.

The strange underground stone maze appeared in his eyes.

It's cold and damp, and at the same time, there is a nine-deep yellow spring-like silence that envelops the space, and sometimes there is an ethereal and eerie sound of moisture dripping down on the rocks.

It was dark, but it wasn't like there was no light.

Xiao Che followed the light and slowly moved, and after passing through several corridors, he finally realized that although this space was still so damp, there was a faint hint of warmth in the air, and the light was not dim, full of life.

Suddenly, someone in front of me said, "Are you here?" ”

Xiao Che's eyes suddenly froze, and he saw a figure buried under a blood-black robe suddenly appear out of thin air at the Yongdaokou not far away, the man walked to the seat and sat down, and gestured to Xiao Che.

Xiao Che said coldly: "You don't have to sit, what about Luo Xixi?"

The man smiled lightly: "All the things that are discussed while standing are not very good, isn't it? Oh yes, old man Kongsu, you can call me Mr. Kong for the time being." ”

Xiao Che's eyes narrowed slightly, he no longer hesitated, stepped forward and sat down on the seat, and then said directly: "Mr. Kong, where is Luo Xixi?"

Kongsu smiled, and waved his blood-red sleeve robe in desperation, and suddenly a faint light spread, and then Luo Xixi's slender shadow appeared out of thin air, and beside her, there was also a small gourd-shaped baby.

Xiao Che stood up and said nervously, "Are you okay?"

Luo Xixi shook his head: "It's okay." ”

She suddenly looked at the gourd beside her, looked up and down with concern, and let out a long sigh of relief when she saw that the gourd was fine.

Kongsu suddenly said lightly: "Since it's all right, then sit down." ”

Luo Xixi knew that he couldn't refuse, so he had to step forward and sit down on the seat, and looked at Xiao Che and said, "Why are you here?"

Kongsu suddenly intercepted: "I heard that Xiao Gongzi loves wine, and he is really like-minded." ”

As he spoke, his pale and thin palm flicked slightly, and dozens of pots of sake suddenly appeared on the stone table in front of him.

Xiao Che casually stretched out his hand and picked up the nearest pot of wine, raised his neck, poured it into his stomach bag like a whale absorbing water, and then wiped his mouth and smiled: "Good wine." ”

The empty wine gestured to Xiao Che and poured it down.

He suddenly turned his face to Luo Xixi and said with a smile: "Princess, please speak." ”

Luo Xixi knew what he meant by this, and then stared at Xiao Che with beautiful eyes, and said, "Xiao Che, do you know the secret army of every monarch of the Xuanluo Dynasty...... Red Oni. ”

Xiao Che wiped the residual wine from the corners of his mouth, nodded and said, "But the Red Ghost Army disappeared a long time ago, at least, there were no Red Ghosts when King Luo was in power. ”

Luo Xixi said in a deep voice: "What you said is right, but not long ago, I discovered an unknown place in the royal family, and then found the Red Ghost Holy Talisman, reunited the Red Ghost according to the Red Ghost Totem, and comprehended and controlled the Red Ghost Holy Talisman, condensed the Holy Sword, and wanted to become the Lord of the Red Ghosts." ”

Xiao Che said: "And then?"

Luo Xixi glanced at the empty space beside him, and his voice suddenly blocked his throat.

The gourd's red lips seemed to be bitten and bleeding, and he glared viciously at the empty house beside him, and then took Luo Xixi's words and said, "That is, yesterday, my mother... Sister, she is here to condense the holy sword, and wants to prove to everyone that she is the lord of the red ghosts in the future, but she ......"

Xiao Che asked, "But what?"

Hulu's sharp gaze glanced at the empty house, and pointed at him, "But I was stopped by this villain, who not only controlled the red ghost, but also imprisoned me and my sister for a day and a night. ”

The wine jug in Xiao Che's hand suddenly deformed due to the force, his eyes flashed, staring at the empty house, and said, "Mr. Kong is too... Red Oni?"

Sokusu smiled, "How do you know?"

Luo Xixi and Hulu's eyes suddenly froze, this point, they didn't expect.

Xiao Che said: "If you are not a red ghost, how can you have the opportunity to come to this underground stone maze, but what I am curious about is, since you are a red ghost, why don't you recognize Luo Xixi as the lord of the red ghost? ”

Kongsu smiled: "The second question, just because the red ghosts have never had a lord for so many years, and I am in charge, so the red ghosts have gradually forgotten that the man in green shirts who respected the holy sword and brought you over is also a red ghost, and he knows everything about today." ”

Xiao Che said: "He did not recognize the status of the holy sword in Luo Xixi's hand, on the contrary, he was using Mr. Kong as the leader of the red ghosts. ”

Kongsu smiled: "But as long as I say a word, the red ghost is still the red ghost, and the holy sword is still the holy sword, do you know this?"

Xiao Che nodded and said, "Clear." ”

Kongsu seemed to glance at Luo Xixi and said, "First question, the reason why I don't want to use Luo Xixi as the master of the red ghost is because I have a more suitable candidate, and that person is the master of the red ghost, I think it is reasonable and I will admire it." ”

Luo Xixi stared at him and said coldly, "Who? Could it be King Qi?"

Sokusu shook his head with a smile and said, "If I identified King Qi, then many years ago, it was not King Luo but King Qi who ascended the throne. ”

Xiao Che asked, "Who is that?"

Kongsu smiled, and there seemed to be a pair of sharp eyes staring at Xiao Che under the blood-red cloak, and said, "It's you, Xiao Che!"

Xiao Che was stunned, he didn't react for a long time, and the gourd and Luo Xixi were also staring at the empty house dumbfounded, and the space fell into a death-like silence for a while.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Che coughed lightly and said, "Why me?"

Sora was silent, he adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and a gap suddenly appeared under the blood-black robe on his left.

Xiao Che's sharp and clear gaze suddenly froze, and he clearly saw that under the robe on the left hand side of the empty house, it was empty, and the left half sleeve of the undershirt was knotted, obviously he didn't have a left hand.

And in the huge Divine Capital City, he only knew a person with a broken left arm.

Right old, right empty sleeve.

As for the name of the empty house, it was a name he had just forged.

In other words, the right elder is actually the leader of the red ghost for so many years.

And the lord of the red ghost that the right old man hopes for is Xiao Che.

Xiao Che suddenly realized, and after being silent for a long time, he looked at Luo Xixi and said, "I can talk to you... Mr. Sora will say a few words alone?"

Luo Xixi hesitated for a moment, nodded lightly, and said, "Okay." ”

She looked at the gourd and said, "Hulu, go with my sister." ”

Before leaving, the gourd waved at the right old man's teeth and claws, if it wasn't for the beat, I was afraid that she would have done it a long time ago, and anyone who was a daughter would always be unhappy when she saw that the things that her mother could reach were seized by others.

Besides, the gourd is still a holy child that the red ghost will never grow up and never grow old.

Soon, the figures of the two of them disappeared at the Yongdaokou.

Right Lao immediately relaxed a lot, and in front of Xiao Che, he seemed to have returned to the blind and broken noodle stall owner in the dark alley, he took off his blood-black cloak, revealing his eyes wrapped in white cloth buried in the darkness.

He was blind, but his heart was bright.

The right old face smiled at Xiao Che and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Xiao Che held the wine jug and touched the wine jug in the right old man's hand, and said, "Xiao Che first salutes the right old man." ”

The two of them smiled and drank the sake from the pot.

Xiao Che suddenly asked, "Right Elder, if my guess is right, you are... The missing royal right minister, right?"

Right Lao smiled and admitted: "I really can't hide anything from you." ”

Xiao Che said: "So you are both the right minister and the leader of the red ghosts. ”

The right elder nodded in acknowledgement.

Xiao Che smiled: "Of course I believe in the loyalty of the right elder to the royal family, even if he has helped King Qi, but it is only to taste the courage of lying on the salary, in order to better spy on the process of King Qi's seizure of the throne, otherwise he would not have put King Qi together at a critical moment, but why is the right old man unwilling to take Luo Xixi as the lord of the red ghosts?"

The right boss drank heavily and smiled: "Because she is not as good as you, in my opinion, you are the most suitable person to be the leader of the red ghosts." ”

Xiao Che said: "What happened in the Divine Capital City a few days ago should be clear to the right elder, right?"

The right elder nodded and said: "King Qi led the Tianwei to besiege the city, and in the end Luo Xixi was safe and sound, I admit that she does have some strategies, but the red ghost is a loyal teacher." ”

Xiao Che bowed his head and said, "Of course I know the loyalty of the red ghost. ”

The right elder continued: "Although the red ghost is loyal, it is not black and white right and wrong, the loyalty of the red ghost is not foolish loyalty, we can do things for the king, but what we do... If it's those things that are really for the sake of the people of Xuanluo. ”

Xiao Che pondered for a long time and said, "So, that's why the Red Ghost will gradually break away from the control of the royal monarch?"

The right elder laughed heartily and said, "I'll just say you're very smart." ”

Xiao Che continued: "It is precisely because of this, even if Luo Xixi is for the sake of Xuanluo's country and the vast people of Xuanluo, the right elder is not willing to choose her easily, because she is the lord. ”

The right old man shook his head and sighed: "How many of the lords of the past and present are good kings who really think about the people's society?

Xiao Che nodded and admitted, because what the right elder said was exactly to the point.

The right elder drank a pot of wine, and then said: "Xiao Che, so I hope you are the leader of the Red Ghosts, because you are kind and intelligent, and because you can always see everything so clearly and thoroughly. ”

Xiao Che was speechless: "......"

The right elder then said in a deep voice: "Xiao Che, as long as you nod your head, the Red Ghost Holy Talisman, the Holy Sword, and even the Holy Child, I can help you solve it, and there will be no trouble." ”

Xiao Che said nervously: "Right old." ”

The right old man smiled: "Don't worry, I will never hurt the lives of those two little babies." ”

Xiao Che breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and said, "Even so, this Red Ghost Lord, I still can't do it." ”

Right Lao said: "Why?"

Xiao Che said: "Everyone in the world knows that the red ghost is the secret army of the lord of the Xuanluo Dynasty, if the red ghost reappears in the Xuanluo Dynasty and the Divine Capital with me as the master, I am afraid that it will be criticized by many people." ”

The right old man's eyes flashed, he took a deep breath, and said: "I have thought of this a long time ago, you can rest assured, I will bear all the criticisms alone, and it will never affect the red ghost, let alone you." ”

Xiao Che was really speechless: "......"

After being silent for a long time, he said helplessly: "Right Elder, can't you trust Luo Xixi? I don't think she is a senseless monarch, if the rebellion of King Qi subsides, she will definitely do her best to restore the Xuanluo Dynasty to its heyday." ”

The right old man smiled bitterly: "After such a big circle, you are still persuading me to allow Luo Xixi to be the master of the red ghosts." ”

Xiao Che nodded in acknowledgement, because he really didn't want to be the leader of the Red Ghosts.

Xiao Che continued: "If the right honest is not at ease, I, Xiao Che, can swear here, if there is anything wrong with Luo Xixi's behavior that causes the red ghost to fall into a state of disloyalty and injustice, I will immediately replace him, how about it?"

The right elder pondered for a long time, and finally agreed: "Okay, just do what you want." ”

Luo Xixi came back with the gourd, and Xiao Che settled the matter properly in a few words.

From today on, Luo Xixi is the lord of the red ghosts.

And Xiao Che also told Luo Xixi's words mellowly, and explained: "Right Lao is a good person, he is for the millions of people of Xuanluo, and for the loyalty of the red ghost. ”

Of course, Luo Xixi was also very talkative, and said with a smile: "Understand." ”

After doing this, Xiao Che let out a long breath of relief, beads of sweat fell all over his body, how did he feel as if solving these things was more tiring than fighting with others.

Fortunately, Elder Right and Luo Xixi are still relatively good talkers.

......
