"It's not too late to say this kind of thing when you have the strength to command the rivers and lakes, it's inappropriate to say it at this time, right?"

"Well, I'm happy. ”

"Oh, you're still happy?"

"Haha! Don't you think I'm happy?"

"Laughing doesn't mean being happy. ”

"That's right. Jiang Xing took the mount and saddled it and got on the horse:

"You'll see when I'm really happy to laugh, and that's going to happen soon. It turned out that I thought that your sect master was looking at my free son unpleasantly, and blamed me for not showing off my might on the noble ground, so I asked me to meet to warn or teach me a lesson, or wanted to pretend to be someone to resolve grudges and uphold justice, but it turned out to be for Tai'an Villa, I don't have any psychological burden, everything is easy to do. Wonderful, let's hurry!I can't wait to see your sect master thank you again and again!hahaha......"

Jiang Xing's smile was a real happy laugh. Originally, he was quite wary of the Soul Leaving Sect, and the current situation was not suitable for making enemies on both sides.

Therefore, he didn't want to openly conflict with the Soul Leaving Sect at this time, and he had some scruples in his heart, so he couldn't deal with the methods and means for a while.

Now, Jiang Xing has made a decision, the enemy and the enemy are clear, even if he can compromise and seek perfection, the other party will not be good.

Forty miles, the junction of Shishou County and Jianli County in Yizhou Prefecture. There is a stone archway on the side of the road, and four big characters are peeled: Nine Secluded Ye Capital.

The couplet on the column, the handwriting is illegible due to excessive corrosion, the archway itself is crumbling, and if it is not renovated, the fate of the collapse seems to be doomed.

The fields are full of wilderness, hills, woods, and wild grass, and the fields are overgrown with weeds and thorns, and the villages as far as the eye can see are in ruins.

The flight of people from their homes is not entirely due to drought. Although people are afraid of natural disasters, they still have the courage to overcome them and resist them, but man-made disasters ...... They had no choice but to flee. The countryside is barren and sparsely populated, this is it

With the current situation of the ancient Ye capital.

In front, a town with only 100 households, on the gate set up at the entrance of the town, the gate of the gate was engraved with two big characters: Ye Town. This is the only vestige of history, Ye Town. Perhaps, this gate to control access is being built on the foundation of the bronze bird platform.

"This is the site of the Yedu built by Cao Mengde in history. The woman pointed to the town three miles away with her horsewhip: "We are almost at our destination." "This is Yedu?" Jiang Xing was surprised: "Not deceiving?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

"What about Santai? What about Hualin Garden? What about Jiuhua Palace? What about Taiwu Palace? Where are Santai in Sancheng?"

"Hehe-hee, you're talking about monuments more than 1,000 years ago, and your memory is not bad!"

"I still remember that Dongfeng didn't give Zhou Lang a favor, and Tongque Chun locked Er Qiao! ”

"Hehehe, Jiang Nanqiao?"

"Yes!"

"Hehe-hee! Maybe you are a descendant of the Qiao family! When Cao Mengde built the ten-zhang high Tongque Terrace, he thought that Jinling would place the sister flowers of your Qiao family on the stage to boast about the world. ”

"Hehe! Cao Mengde's achievements are good, he likes to rob other people's beautiful wives, and he is really inferior. Didn't he snatch Empress Zhen from the son of his old friend Yuan Shao?"

"It was his son who grabbed it first, so Empress Zhen couldn't enjoy the happiness on the Tongque Terrace. The woman pointed to the west with her horsewhip: "Her grave is on that side, do you want to go and pay your respects?" Not far away, it is called Lingzhi Village now." ”

"Forget it! I have no interest in this beautiful woman who sleeps with the father and son of the Cao family, but I am still a little impressed by Cao Zijian's feelings. Her son changed to Luo Shenfu and wanted to cover up this palace scandal, but he was really not very smart, and it seemed that he couldn't hide it. Just as you pretend to be a robber and rob me, but you pretend to be a nosy person, and you want to cover up your crimes, you are not necessarily wise. ”

"Hey, it seems that you have already been convicted of this crime. ”

"Aren't they? These mounts aren't mine?"

"This is what you say......" "I will calmly listen to what your sect master says, I am a very reasonable person. During his debut to lay the foundation for his prestige and status, it is difficult to gain the respect of his peers if he is unreasonable, and he will put it out before the foundation of his status is stable

Overlord face, that won't do any good, so I plan everything I do carefully and carefully to avoid being criticized.

Once you can stand up to the word, then let it go and do it according to the situation. Now that I have a firm foothold in the word, I will not be swayed by the situation in the future. Oh, what kind of place is this?"

A trail that forks into the right side of the road, the path stretches out into the wilderness trees, so the field of vision is limited, and you can only see the scenery within a hundred and ten steps of the roadside, as if suddenly away from the people, into the uninhabited wilderness, the path is difficult to distinguish without careful inspection.

"It is said that this area is the ruins of the old site of Xiaoyao Tower. The woman said.

"The Xiaoyao Building built by Shi Hu? Then, the wasteland to the south is the ruins of Jiuhua Palace. ”

"Yes. ”

"Not far to the north is the Zhanghe River?"

"The Zhanghe River has been changed many times and is now ten miles to the northeast. ”

"Hehe! Invite my free son to the ruins of Xiaoyao Tower, it seems that your sect master plans to bury my free son under the dust like Xiaoyao Tower. ”

"It's here. The woman ignored his sarcasm, and pointed her whip at a corner of the gray-black gable that appeared in front of her:

"The Deserted City Demon Domain, the Soul Illusion Realm. You're the only one in nearly twenty years who has been able to enter in broad daylight. ”

"I know that since the fork into the path, this short path of seven or eight miles, every critical place has hidden accidents, every step of the way, strangers can't walk thirty or twenty steps, either by day, or lost their souls.

Girl, but I don't know how the Deserted City Demon Realm is compared to the Blurry Cave in Lushan?"

"The Blurry Cave is a place for children to play hide-and-seek, so can it be compared?" said the woman proudly, her legs clamped, and the horse rushed forward.

The forest is deep, the grass is lush, and you can only see the shadow of the sun from the branches and leaves.

Even the path doesn't look like a path.

The gray-black gable in that corner is not the building of the village, but a relic of a collapsed building like a foundation.

Bypassing the wall, you can see the zigzag city wall in the depths of the forest not far away, and a strange-looking arch is built in the middle gap, on which the plaque is engraved with eight big characters: Deserted City Demon Domain, Leaving the Soul Fantasy Realm.

Four big characters were also engraved on the door: Death to trespassers. There were no ghosts nearby, and it was eerily quiet.

Inside the city, there seemed to be a faint gray mist like smoke and fog, full of mysterious and demonic atmosphere, and even if the timid people didn't see those twelve words, they didn't dare to enter rashly

It's strange to ask for trouble and not turn your head away.

As soon as the horse approached the arch, the door creaked and opened automatically. The trail is bent and folded, from time to time you can see the small fortress-shaped bunkers scattered in the grass and trees, each bunker is of the same type, the height is about two zhang, it is not easy to find without approaching, wild grass grows in the cracks of the masonry, and it is not easy to distinguish even when approaching.

If you bump into it at night, you don't know what it is.

Jiang Xing is a caring person, and he gradually saw the clues.

Go deep into about three miles, at the end of the path, finally appear house, a simple appearance, bricks and wood, two into nine, doors and windows are small in front of the courtyard, three middle-aged people in green robes, outside the courtyard to welcome guests. The woman dismounted and saluted the trio, turned around without saying a word, took Jiang Xing's mount, and entered the tree to the right

The forest, after two or three turns, disappeared into the depths of the grass and trees.

"In the lower bear clear spring. The middle-aged man with a gloomy face in the middle clenched his fists and said, "I am ordered by the sect master to greet Luo Gongzi." ”

"Don't dare to be, in Xia Luo Xiang. Jiang Xing was gentle, polite and thoughtful, and saluted the three of them separately: "Your sect master is favored, and you are fortunate in the next three lives." ”

"Well said, please move to the living room. ”

"Thanks, please. ”

The yard is vast, but there are no flowers and plants, the eyes are full of old trees with wrong branches, wild grasses and vines under the trees, and the wide stone path is still bright, and people will make strange noises when they walk in it.

There are eight men and women standing side by side on the steps, men on the left and women on the right, black hoods, black robes, and swords, only revealing a pair of strange eyes that shine with essence, and can only distinguish men and women from their figures and the direction of the black robe.

Two beautiful boys and girls stand on the doorstep to welcome guests.

"Please upgrade your guests, and the sect master will wait in the hall. Boys and girls shouted in unison. To put it mildly, the battle put on is not very polite, if it can really be called a distinguished guest, there should be a deacon at the door of the hall to greet him. Even if the head of a sect has a big shelf, at least he should send someone with status to welcome guests.

Jiang Xing smiled coldly and glanced at Xiong Qingquan.

"Young Master Luo, please be promoted and retire below. Xiong Qingquan leaned over and said, "There are people in the outer hall below, and this is the end of the road." ”

"There are really a lot of rules in your sect, and the boundaries of duties are clear. Jiang Xing said coldly: "Three of you, please." ”

He climbed the stairs proudly, and was led into the hall by two children.

The hall is a god case, a rather tall shrine, with a golden-red embroidered gold tiger cloud dragon great god man, covering the shrine, and the gods offered are not visible.

The big god case offers a lot of various Shinto ritual utensils, and the cigarette smoke is full of solemnity. Can this be a big living room? It should be a temple.

At the bottom of the hall, there is a waiting table for deacons.

A pair of middle-aged men and women with majestic appearances greeted guests in the hall. On both sides, four young black-clothed warriors and four black-clothed girls with flowery faces and moons are like personal guards, which is quite magnificent.

"Under Murong Zhuoyan. The middle-aged man greeted the guest with a smile and a fist: "I am deeply honored to be here with Master Luo." Especially the son's single sword, the courage of the hero, the unsurpassed in the United States, admire and admire. ”

"Sect Master Murong praised falsely, and Luo Xiang was terrified. Jiang Xing also said in a rhetorical manner: "Sect Master Murong clearly stated in the letter, Luo Mou is limited to come alone, and he will leave on time, if he refuses, he will send five parties to reveal the truth of the ten directions, and all the spirits of Luo and others will be sent into the Nine Shadows, how can he not come and listen to instructions?"

The words are polite on the surface, but they are tough in their bones.

"Childe's reputation is rising, and his momentum is like the sky, if the lettering is polite, how can it provoke Your Excellency to come with great anger?" ”

"Mrs. Murong, please forgive me for being arrogant. Jiang Xing's heart shook slightly, and he felt that the deep eyes of Mrs. Murong were really unsettling: "I don't want to come here in a big way, but the situation is unbearable, and I have to send it." Luo was viciously persecuted by Tai'an Villa for no reason, and he took all the money from the car, horse, and gold bank, and it was already difficult to be self-sufficient. If there is a lot of offense in the words, please forgive the virtuous couple for understanding. ”

"Sit down and talk, please take a seat. Sect Master Murong took his seat politely.

The two maids served the tea set lightly from the back of the hall, it stands to reason that Jiang Xing is in the tiger's den, he can not drink this cup of tea, and no one will blame him for being rude.

After sitting politely, he drank half a cup of tea from the maid.

"The Sect Master is favored. I don't dare not come. Jiang Xing didn't want to waste time on meaningless politeness, and immediately got back to business: "It's not foolish to be in the bottom, guess it must be for the festival with Tai'an Villa in the bottom, because the mount in the lower is already in your city, your family must have a deep friendship with the fire unicorn Jiang Baishi, right and wrong are no longer in the next black and white, but I don't know what the sect master has to say?"

"Young Master Luo, if you want to say that our sect has no friendship with the fire qilin, of course no one can believe it, but if you say that the friendship is deep, it is not true. "Sect Master Murong didn't want to say anything about it.

"Really?" Jiang Xing's attitude gradually hardened.

"On the rivers and lakes, there are very few moral friendships between the two heroes. ”

"Indeed, from the bottom of my heart, there is only an exchange of interests between the two males. ”

"It's good that Childe understands. ”

"Sect Master Murong means to join hands with the fire qilin to bury Luo, salute first and then soldier, and maintain the reputation of your sect, Luo understands, it should be. ”

"This Sect Master doesn't want to be too extreme. Sect Master Murong finally revealed his true face: "Leave a little affection, and we will see each other in the future." ”

"Listen to the instructions below. ”

"Master Jiang Zhuang said that the treasures of Yizhou Mansion Xiangjia who were ready to decompress and go to the imperial capital were all robbed by Gongzi's black eating and black, and Gongzi didn't deny it, right?" ”

Of course Childe will deny it. ”

"That's right. ”

"Master Jiang Zhuang left the child's carriage and horse bags here, and hoped that the sect master would negotiate with the son, and everyone would not be harmed. ”

"Good thing, under full agreement, do not hurt the peace. Jiang Xing smiled: "It's only been four years since my debut, and my prestige and status can be said to have just entered the stream, and the younger generations have these few achievements, which are not easy to come by. "Master Jiang's requirements are not strict, he only asks Gongzi to share those gems and treasures with him, what is Gongzi's opinion?"

"Yes. ”

"Please. ”

"First, the gems of the Xiang family are rare, I have never seen them in the next meeting, but I know that they were indeed robbed by the people of Tai'an Villa, and I blame the ears and eyes of the people who can't hide it from the world. Therefore, under the request he to give in the second half.

Second, all the carriages and horses, gold and silver, and baggage must be returned, including one hundred thousand and four thousand taels of silver. Third, if he doesn't return it, he will go to Tai'an Villa to ask him for it. ”

"What? What silver ticket do you have? You ......."

Sect Master Murong couldn't help but scream.

"Not bad at all, for there are ten silver tickets, for a total of two hundred thousand and four thousand taels of silver. There were also 1,200 taels of gold and 3,200 taels of silver. ”

"There must be a person in this who is lying, and the one who lies must be you. Sect Master Murong said in a deep voice: "Master Jiang Zhuang is a generation of tyrants, and the whole world is admire......d."

"Sect Master Murong, you say that my son is lying?" Jiang Xing suddenly changed color.

"Sit down!" Murong Sect Master shouted: "Rude!"

"You heard me clearly. Jiang Xing refused to sit down: "You invited me to come, no matter whether the words on your letter are strong and coercive, it is still please, so I don't want to be presumptuous." Obviously, there was nothing left for the two sides to talk about, so I had to go to Jiang Zhuang to seek justice and leave. ”

"I allow you to go, you can go......"

"Really?"

"Not bad. "Hmph! I can't imagine that the Soul Leaving Sect is so graceless and responsible. ”

"Damn! you ......"

"I, don't forget that I'm your guest. If you want to bury me, I'll wait for you at the inn in Fucheng, goodbye. ”

He clenched his fists and strode out of his seat.

The eight men and women in the hall quickly lined up to block the way.

"Can you go?" Sect Master Murong shouted angrily: "After making it clear, this sect master will let you go before you can go." ”

Jiang Xing turned around slowly, and the tiger's eyes were blazing.

"You're too ungraceful and too much. He spit out word by word: "I solemnly declare that whoever dares to do something to the next will be fully responsible for the consequences." Sect Master Murong, don't do stupid things, your family has a long history, and the foundation created by fifty years of hard work is not easy to come by, and it is even more difficult to start a business. If you don't stop your impulses at this life-and-death juncture, I will remove you from the rivers and lakes. ”

"You're a big......"

"You bastard, you donkey ears up and hear clearly, you can scold people, and I will scold you. Do you know how many young and ambitious people in the world who have just started a business want to defeat you famous factions in order to make a name for themselves? I am one of them, I don't take the initiative to look for you, I am already under the blessing of your ancestor of the Soul Sect, and you actually take the initiative to find me, don't you use your name to fulfill me? I still have time to protect your foundation, Your Excellency. ”

Sect Master Murong was furious and was about to make a move, but was stopped by his wife's outstretched hand.

"Don't be impulsive. His wife whispered, "Don't let anyone talk about it, it will damage the prestige of the sect, let him leave safely." ”

"Send off!" Sect Master Murong ordered with a fit of rage. Eight ghostly men and women responded and exited the hall to send the guests out of the hall and down the stairs.

The faint sound of bells reverberated melodiously among the trees, and the smoke grew thicker.

The staff of the outer hall appeared, and Xiong Qingquan brought six more men and women, and politely led Jiang Xing to leave, maintaining the best courtesy.

Outside the courtyard gate, the woman who had been led by her earlier was already leading her mount and waiting. But the mount was changed, not a yellow horse, but a Mongolian horse with a short belly and thighs, and there was only one.

"I won't be far away. The woman handed over the reins and asked with a smile: "There is only one way, Childe won't get lost, right?"

"Please rest assured, you have traveled most of the rivers and mountains downstream, and even if you accidentally get lost in your place, you will find the right way. Goodbye, girl. ”

"Goodbye. The woman stepped aside with a smile: "Let's go." ”

"Brother Bear, thank you for your hospitality. Jiang Xing got on the horse and said to the person who saw him off: "The next time we meet, it will be life and death, so I hope that we will cherish each other indefinitely." ”
