This night, Jiang Lili and Cheng Ru were arranged in a relatively quiet courtyard in the East Palace, during which Liu Dan came to visit once, it was nothing more than to ask for warmth, Jiang Lili was stingy in answering, but Cheng Ru got along with Liu Dan very well, and invited him to go to Yuehong Building to eat and drink together tomorrow.

Jiang Lili didn't think that Cheng Ru could have a deep friendship with Liu Dan at this time, it was nothing more than a scene on the spot, and he still knew this.

After Liu Dan left, Jiang Lili sat alone in front of the desk, lighting a bright oil lamp, he still felt a little uneasy.

He can actually understand what Cheng Ru said to him, but many times this is the case, reason is one thing, and acting is another. As the saying is widely circulated, if the truth is useful, then what is the law for?

Since Zhao Xianzhi left, he has been living carefully, crushing his nerves to live, and after coming out of Zhangjiazhai in Fulong Mountain to this beautiful world, he has become more and more nervous.

When a man who walks on a rope finally steps firmly on the ground one day, his heart will not be happy, but worried.

If Cheng told him to relax, where could he change it for a while?

He has never been afraid of real guns and real knives, but panicked about those secret guns.

After taking a long breath, he stared at the darkness of the night.

At this time, he frowned, not really afraid that a figure would appear in the dark night, but carefully considered what the adult story said.

Cheng said that the most likely place for the ghost city is in this imperial city.

Jiang Lili actually doesn't have the slightest clue about this ghost town, he has no ability to hope, and he doesn't have an innate perception, so asking him to find the entrance to this ghost town here at this time is tantamount to calling him to heaven!

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Lili blew out the oil lamp, closed the doors and windows, closed the curtains again, and finally called out Wu Zhou after the surroundings were completely quiet.

Wu Zhou was very eye-catching, and just after he came out of the ghost cultivation bag, he noticed the difference around him, and hurriedly covered up the ghost qi around him, and asked, "Where is this? I feel that the yang energy here seems to be much stronger than other places!"

"I'm in the Imperial City now, and this is the East Palace. ”

"Donggong, the prince? Wu Zhou frowned and said, thought about it, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, an extremely light-colored light mask appeared in the room, enveloping Wu Zhou and Jiang Lili in it.

Jiang Lili was slightly surprised, and after asking what it was, he was about to touch this light mask.

Wu Zhou hurriedly grabbed Jiang Lili and said, "Don't touch it, I still haven't recovered to the Dragon Elephant Realm, and now this silence array is not solid at all, and it will be broken when you touch it." ”

"What is this?" Jiang Lili asked again.

"This is a silent array, which can prevent the sound of our conversation from spilling out and being heard by those who have a heart," Wu Zhou explained: "The ghost qi on my body can also be covered in this formation." ”

"So amazing?" Jiang Lili was quite interested, "Even if I am yelling here, no one outside can hear it?"

Wu Zhou nodded, then shook his head hesitantly, and said with a wry smile: "If it is a master who is a few realms higher than me, it will definitely be impossible to prevent it, but the palace maid who keeps vigil in this imperial city should not have this kind of ability, and it can be regarded as a guarantee." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lili was a little disdainful, and said that this is not a big skill.

Wu Zhou said helplessly: "Don't talk about my magic circle, tell me about you, how did you come to this imperial city?"

Jiang Lili roughly explained the cause and effect to Wu Zhou, thought about it, and casually mentioned a few words of the explanation given by Cheng Rushi, and then looked at Wu Zhou and asked What do you think?

"Cheng Ru is that kid is not stupid, and there is some truth in his conjectures," Wu Zhou thought about it and said, "It's just that I still have some doubts about why Liu Dan is so indulgent to the two of you? Has he seen you before?"

Jiang Lili shook his head, "Where has he seen us." At the end, Jiang Lili said again: "Maybe I have seen it, Cheng Ru said that there should be a lot of spies under him." ”

"That's it, Cheng Ru is guess should be right, this Liu Dan just takes a fancy to your ability and wants to accept you as a guard or something like that, in order to fill his soldiers and horses. ”

Jiang Lili sneered, "Who dares to take me as a guard?"

Wu Zhou teased: "Now you are not His Royal Highness of Nanyang Palace, you are nothing more than a martial artist of the Fourth Mountain." Is there still a small number of such people in this imperial city? If it weren't for the fact that you are still young, he would not have taken care of you if you had some potential. ”

Jiang Lili was rarely silent, and said after a long time: "Don't talk about this nonsense, Cheng Zhaohua said that there is a great possibility that this ghost city will appear in this imperial city, I don't have any feelings about yin qi, you come to investigate, see if you can find a trace of clues?"

Wu Zhou made a bitter face, "Shouldn't you ask me to investigate in this imperial city? Although Korea is 108,000 miles away from the Great Sui, it is still a country, and there are certainly not a few capable people in the imperial city." Not to mention that there have been ghosts and ghosts in Korea over the years, no matter what, there will be a few clever ghost killers in this imperial city, won't I be gone forever when the time comes?"

Jiang Lili replied angrily: "Did I ask you to go outside to investigate? Is it possible that you can't think of anything that I can't think of? I just asked you to feel here to see if this ghost city is in this imperial city." If I'm here, I'll find another way, and if I'm not here, I'll leave this imperial city early, so I don't have to waste more time here!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhou was reassured, "You said it earlier! What a big deal!"

Ignoring the cold color between Jiang Lili's eyebrows, Wu Zhou hurriedly closed his eyes, his figure floating freely in this room, and opened his eyes after a while.

"Did you find any clues?"

Wu Zhou smiled bitterly again, and hesitantly replied, "Maybe there is, maybe not." ”

"What do you mean by this?" Jiang Lili thought that Wu Zhou was casually perfunctory and was about to have a seizure.

Stopping the anger in Jiang Lili's heart, Wu Zhou explained: "I seem to feel a trace of yin qi in this imperial city, but I don't know if it is emanating from that ghost city. ”

"Doesn't the presence of yin qi mean that this ghost city is in the imperial city?"

"It's not that simple. Wu Zhou replied: "In the imperial city, there is yin and yang decline, and there are many women, so it is normal to have yin qi." And now it's night, where can you get from this trace of yin

Conclude that the ghost town is not here?"

"Again," Wu Zhou said again: "Because you are the capital of a country, this imperial city is much more prosperous than other places of yang, this trace of yin is like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind in this many yang, although it is conspicuous, but it flutters at will, without roots!"

"That is, you can't tell if this ghost city is in this imperial city or not?"

"You can't say that," Wu Zhou said: "If you can tell me to walk around this imperial city wantonly, I can still be sure, but, you know, there is no way!"

"Useless things will only talk nonsense!" Jiang Lili scolded viciously.

Wu Zhou said in a deep voice: "However, the possibility of this ghost city in the imperial city is still quite large, seventy or three points, I think we should stay in this imperial city for more time, waiting for the opportunity." ”

Jiang Lili nodded, and with a casual wave, Wu Zhou dissipated into nothingness, and the silent formation in the room also shattered in the air like foam.

Jiang Lili stood in this dark room and lay down on the bed after a long time.

It was a long time before I fell asleep.

。。。。。。

On the second day, when Jiang Lili was practicing the knife in the yard, he heard a cheer behind him, slowly put away the knife, Jiang Lili turned around, and saw Jiang Xian.

"Childe's knife technique is really out of the dust, although the knife technique is simple, but the magic method between one move and one style is perfect, as if it was born. Jiang Xian exclaimed.

Jiang Lili laughed, "Why, aren't you a scholar, how can you understand the sword technique?"

Jiang Xian smiled embarrassedly, "I don't dare to hide my son, I came from a martial arts family, and I learned swordsmanship since I was a child, but my talent is not outstanding, and I have been practicing for three or four years and have not climbed the first mountain." My parents were so disappointed in me that they stopped teaching me martial arts, so I let my nature read and write, and then I became a scholar. Although the contemptible martial arts are not outstanding, the eyesight is not much worse than that of ordinary martial artists. ”

Seeing that Jiang Lili didn't say anything, Jiang Xian naturally knew that Jiang Lili had no intention of talking, so he continued: "I don't know if Cheng Gongzi has woken up, now is a good time for breakfast." And the rules in the palace are even stricter, if you eat after this time, it will break the rules, if you are not seen, it is good, if you are seen, you have to have a board. ”

Jiang Lili sneered: "He's just afraid that he's still asleep." I didn't bother to go into his room, if you had the heart, you could kick him up, don't worry, he didn't dare to complain. ”

Jiang Gongzi laughed. Jiang Xian said again: "Seeing that the prince is sweating so much when he practices the knife, let's ask the palace maid to go and take a bath, the clothes have already been prepared, and the prince doesn't need to worry." ”

As he spoke, a few palace maids stepped forward in broken steps, and after saying hello to the two, they stopped in front of Jiang Lili.

Jiang Lili put away the Tiger Spirit Knife and followed these palace maids away.

At this time, Liu Dan walked over and looked at Jiang Lili's back, "Why did Mr. look at the two of them?"

Jiang Xian replied respectfully: "That Cheng Gongzi is indeed a bit Wentao, and he has his own opinions on everything. And this Jiang Gongzi doesn't seem to have much other ability except for some force. ”

In the end, Jiang Xian hesitated, opened his mouth but did not speak, and finally shook his head.

Liu Dan smiled: "It's okay, isn't there anything else that you and I can't say at will?"

Jiang Xian said: "It's just that although this Jiang Gongzi has practiced this knife technique, it seems to be natural and has a unique charm, but this knife technique really does not have much meaning, just like the sword technique practiced by those hunters in the countryside." Besides, the contemptible man has only seen it for a long time, although the momentum and trajectory are different, but the contemptible person can still see that there are only three sword techniques in total from beginning to end, and even the boxing techniques to strengthen the body are not to mention dozens of moves!"

Liu Dan's eyes had no clear meaning.

Jiang Xian smiled and said: "If His Royal Highness hadn't told me that Gongzi Jiang could make dozens of moves with the eunuch next to Princess Houliang in that Yuehong Tower, I really wouldn't have thought about how much ability this prince really has." ”

Liu Dan pondered for a moment, "What about hiding clumsy? Could it be that he knows that someone will check it when he practices the knife, so he hides it?"

Jiang Xian buried his head in thought for a moment, raised his head and shook his head with great certainty, "No, Jiang Gongzi was extremely serious when he practiced the sword, and he deliberately increased his pace when I came, but he didn't have the slightest abnormality, which means that he didn't notice me." But if he hears the footsteps but still doesn't have the slightest abnormality, such a heart is also worth cultivating by His Highness. ”

Liu Dan smiled, "There's no harm in all, right?"

Jiang Xian nodded and smiled.

。。。。。。

Cheng Ru didn't know what he did last night, and he didn't wake up until the sun was rising, and it was already time for lunch.

Touching his gurgling belly, Cheng Ru kicked the door open, and shouted Jiang Lili before he suddenly reacted to the fact that he was now in this imperial city! After a long time, he gently pushed open the door and walked out with a steady look, and said to the palace maid on the side.

Lu Zeren walked over at this time, "Did Cheng Gongzi go as a thief last night? Why did he wake up at this time? The treasures in this imperial city can't be stolen!"

Yesterday, Lu Zeren and Cheng Ru talked for a long time, and knew if Cheng Ru was the kind of person who Jiang Lili would do if he didn't agree with him, so he made a harmless little joke.

Cheng Ru smiled and said, "Where do I have that kind of ability? You know, these palace maids, hehe... ”

Lu Zeren had a clear expression, gave Cheng Ru a thumbs up, and said: "It's just right, it's lunch time, please Cheng Gongzi wash up quickly, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting!"

"Yo, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting? What are you still washing up? This is not ambiguous!" Cheng Ru looked anxious, and complained: "I also blame you, what kind of joke did you make early in the morning? I should have said this straightforwardly a long time ago! If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince annoyed me because of this, then I will definitely trouble you!"

Lu Zeren laughed, "Since that's the case, let's go quickly!"

The banquet was placed in the courtyard yesterday, a group of palace maids were waiting, and Liu Dan and others had already taken their seats, in addition to Jiang Lili, Lu Zeren, Liu Dan and Jiang Xian, there were also a few young people in their twenties, who must be Liu Dan's henchmen.

At this time, Liu Dan smiled when he saw Cheng Ru coming, and quipped: "Cheng Gongzi seems to be a gentleman!"

The meaning of this is that Cheng Ru is a talented Confucian scholar, which makes him wait hard

I didn't dare to complain after staying for so long.

Cheng Ru was clear-eyed, and naturally he could hear the meaning of Liu Dan's words, and hurriedly apologized: "It's really that His Royal Highness the Prince's hospitality is too good, which makes me snooze until now, and I am reluctant to leave the soft bed like white clouds." But I have to blame for not having knowledge, if I had been lucky enough to see such luxury, I wouldn't have been so out of shape!"

Jiang Lili snorted secretly, "Sure enough, it's a spineless coward." ”

This meal was eaten in harmony, and Cheng Ru's ability to talk was really high, and it didn't take long for him to fight with everyone at the banquet. But thousands of people have thousands of thoughts, and a young martial artist turned the finger at Jiang Lili as soon as the topic changed.

"I heard that Gongzi is a martial artist of the Great Sui, I don't know what Gongzi's methods are? How many mountains have he climbed now? How many mountains can he climb in his lifetime?"

The man who spoke was equipped with a long sword at his waist, and his temperament was elegant. When Fang Cai was talking to everyone at the wine table, all kinds of poems and texts were also hand-made, and Hao Ran looked like a sword scholar.

Jiang Lili glanced at the man, "What's your name, and dare to be so arrogant in front of me?"

This sword scholar sneered, "In Xia Zhong Fenghua, he is the young master of Gao Jinmen, and he is naturally incomparable to the identity of Gongzi Dasui!"

Jiang Lili sneered: "Since you know why you want to compare with me? Aren't you bored?"

Zhong Fenghua's face became colder and colder.

After hearing this, Jiang Xian was about to open his mouth to ease the atmosphere, but Liu Dan gestured slightly with his eyes, and Jiang Xian stopped his mouth and waited for the following.

Cheng Ru is a little worried, the young master of Gao Jinmen? This sounds terrible, maybe there is some kind of power in the family, if Jiang Lili and this Zhong Fenghua have red eyes, wouldn't there be an enemy?

But turning his head to look at the mockery on Jiang Lili's face and the embarrassment on Zhong Fenghua's face, Cheng Ru knew that if there was no accident, he was afraid that this matter would not be reversed, so he ate and drank alcohol, thinking that he was really ill-fated, and he knew that he should follow Wang Shan in peace and be a steward who only takes money regardless of things, and he also saved himself from being frightened at this time, and he didn't know when he would be hacked to death by hundreds of people!

"I just don't know if Childe has the ability to say this!" Zhong Fenghua gritted his teeth and said.

Jiang Lili squinted slightly, "Come on, come on, you come and try it to see if I have the ability!"

Zhong Fenghua didn't dare to be so unruly, turned his head and clenched his fists and said to Liu Dan: "Now that I want to fight to the death with this kid who doesn't know the height of the sky, I dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince's permission!"

Liu Dan sighed, "I thought that you martial artists could get along with each other, but I never thought that it would be so troublesome. As the saying goes: there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. And so it was. If the two major generals really have this intention, then His Highness is not easy to refuse, so he just needs to keep it in mind and stop at the point. ”

Zhong Fenghua nodded, and then looked at Jiang Lili, "I just don't know if you dare!"

Jiang Lili licked her lips, "Come on!"

Zhong Fenghua suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist and slapped it on the table with one hand, he didn't hear much noise, but he saw the whole person shooting straight towards Jiang Lili like a sharp arrow!

Jiang Lili snorted coldly, and the tiger sword behind his back had appeared in his hand at some point, and immediately crossed in front of him, just blocking the tip of Zhong Fenghua's sword.

The whole person took advantage of this force to retreat sharply, stepped on the ground to stabilize his body, and grinned.

Liu Dan showed a hint of discoloration and turned his head to look at Jiang Xian.

Jiang Xian said: "Strength, timing, just right!"

At this time, Zhong Fenghua missed a blow, and picked up his sword again and shouted, "Gao Jin, Kuoqing kills!"

The blade in his hand became more and more dazzling, and under the light of the scorching sun, the blade shone with white light, as if the clouds and the moon had opened, and it suddenly opened up.

"Zhong Gongzi's trick has been practiced to the essence. At the wine table, a man with a double knife at his waist exclaimed.

"That's true," the other person answered, "Now that I have obtained the eight points of true intent from the Lord of the Zhong Gate, I am afraid that the future will be immeasurable!"

"I just don't know how the swordsman should defend against this blow. ”

"I'm afraid I can't dodge, this trick falls on me, and I still have to use seven points of strength to block it, he, I don't know. ”

Jiang Lili didn't panic, his body tilted, and he dodged the blow slightly, but after seeing the smile on Zhong Fenghua's face, he knew that this matter was not so simple.

I saw that after Zhong Fenghua's sword stabbed out, white light suddenly bloomed on the blade, and for a while, Jiang Lili was dizzy by this white light, and when he came back to his senses, this sword had already stabbed towards his abdomen!

As soon as Jiang Lili flipped his hand, the Tiger Soul Knife was under his abdomen again, and there was a crisp sound, and after the white light fell, the Tiger Soul Knife had already blocked the long sword in Zhong Fenghua's hand.

"This... A martial artist was a little puzzled, "It's as simple as breaking this move?"

Jiang Xian said with a smile: "Originally, this move was to rely on oddity to win, if you can see the traces of this shadow-like sword blade clearly in this sudden white light, you can prevent it at will." ”

"I see. ”

Zhong Fenghua became more and more annoyed after seeing that this blow was blocked again, and after retreating two or three steps, he shouted violently: "Gao Jin two style, bright exhibition hall!"

As soon as the words fell, the white light on the sword blade suddenly skyrocketed, and the surrounding temperature suddenly rose by five or six points! And the sword blade in Zhong Fenghua's hand swung down towards Jiang Lili, and a blazing sword light rushed towards Jiang Lili like lightning!

And where this sword light passed, the grass and trees flew over, revealing a ravine more than a foot deep on the ground!

"This move! It is so powerful!" the Twin Sword Martial Man exclaimed: "Sure enough, Zhong Gongzi lives up to the prestige of the Sword Scholar!"

Liu Dan also raised his eyebrows slightly after seeing this move, and his face was excellent.

Jiang Lili sneered slightly after seeing this sword light, and when he was about to withdraw at will to dodge, his face suddenly sank, and there was a trace of hideousness in his eyes, and he suddenly turned around and swung a knife towards the back!

"First cut!!"

swept away, devouring an extremely inconspicuous dark flying sword shooting from the sky!

In front of Jiang Lili, within a thousand steps, the grass and trees were broken, and the ground rolled up!

Everyone was dumbfounded, just because within these thousand steps, there was a strong and extreme sword intent!

And Zhong Fenghua's huge sword light had already been evaporated in the aftermath of Jiang Lili's sword, and there was no trace left!
