Qingyuan City was originally an inconspicuous small city on the border of Zhanyang County, because it was located on the border, it was not rich.

However, because of the existence of a glimmer of sky, this place has become a place for merchants from the two counties to settle, and has gradually developed into a prosperous commercial city.

There are many shops in the city, inns are gathered, and there are many Qinglou taverns and song shops for people to have fun and pastime.

At this time, the sunset on the horizon gradually sinks in the west, and the glow is full of sky, shining on the green city walls of the ancient city, because of the barrier of the city wall, casting a large shadow in the city.

Although the ancient city is lit up, it is already brightly lit, bright as day, and the streets and alleys are crowded with people.

The vendors in the night market are shouting hard, the men and women in the green building are flirting, the guests in the restaurant are pushing their glasses, the dancers in the song shop are dancing, and the singers in the audience are playing and singing softly......

All kinds of sounds are mixed together, making this ancient city noisy and lively, and the prosperous scene is far more prosperous than during the day.

In the dim buildings in the west of the city, there is an inconspicuous courtyard house, the house has red lacquered wooden doors, blue bricks and green tiles, and looks a little old.

Walking into the gate, I found that the yard was not large, with an unobstructed view, an old pine tree in the middle, with lush branches and leaves, and the green cobblestone paved road under my feet, extending all the way to the main hall, and there were seven or eight side rooms on the left and right, which was quite quiet.

At this moment, in the main hall, a woman in silver armor and white robe is sitting on the main seat, looking at her eyebrows and beautiful appearance, it is the commander of the Shadow Guard Army, the female general surnamed Du in front of the White Horse Pass.

And sitting on his left hand side is a Taoist priest dressed in a shabby Taoist robe and a thin appearance, naturally Mao Xiaofang, who is slightly closing his eyes and self-nourishing, and the little fat man standing next to him is not as lively as he is during the day, half-tilting his head and dozing off.

“...... My lord, the old house here is quite secluded, few people know about it, and every half a month, there will be a small servant to clean it, so there are no weeds in the courtyard, and the rooms are clean, so adults and immortals can rest at ease here. The boy surnamed Zou, who was standing in the hall, lowered his body slightly and introduced himself to the white-robed young general on the main seat, but he didn't see Cai Lao's figure.

"Okay, it's none of your business, you go down first. ”

The son surnamed Zou said "yes" in his mouth, and then bowed his hand and retreated.

"Dao Chief, I don't know what your plans are in the future? If you don't go back to Beijing with me, the Nine Princes are employing people, if the Dao Chief is willing to join the Imperial Court, with the means of the Dao Chief, he will definitely be able to become Jin Ling Keqing." The white-robed female general turned her head and said sincerely to Mao Xiaofang.

"No need, Yan has another place to go, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with the imperial court. The Taoist priest surnamed Mao opened his eyes and said lightly, "If there is nothing else, Yan will go back to the room to rest." ”

The Taoist priest surnamed Mao didn't wait for the white-robed female general to answer, so he got up and walked out of the hall, and the little fat man was clever and followed.

"Congratulations to the Daoist. Although the white-robed female general was a little unhappy in her heart, she did not lose her manners, and then she thought that she had entered the Tianshan dungeon back then, and she did not have a good impression of the imperial court, and she knew a little bit in her heart.

"By the way, after returning to Beijing, I will say hello to the Nine Princes on my behalf. The Taoist priest surnamed Mao walked to the door, paused, did not turn around, said lightly, and stepped out after speaking.

"General Du, let me share a room with Uncle Hong tonight. Seeing that there were only three people left in the hall, the brocade-clothed young man sitting next to him looked at Hong Huzi who was sitting next to him, and then spoke.

The white-robed female general pondered for a moment, and was just about to speak, when two more people walked in, but it was the shadow guard named Zhang Lang and the old man surnamed Cai.

Look at that Zhang Lang dressed in civilian clothes, holding a white dress in his hand.

"My lord, it's all done, and the casual clothes are all sent down. ”

"Well, put it down. ”

The soldier put down his clothes and retreated with the old man surnamed Cai.

"Since it is the prince's order, the last general should obey it. The white-robed young man turned his head and did not refuse the young man in brocade.

The brocade-clothed young man was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it, and walked out with Hong Huzi with a thank you.

At this time, only the white-robed female general was left in the hall, sitting in the main seat, looking tired, frowning, and not knowing what to think.

After a long moment, he sighed, stood up, closed the door, picked up the white garment, and went into the inner bedroom.

In the silence of the night, only the insects could be heard, and the bright moon hung high outside the window, sprinkling frost on the ground, shining into the room and shining on the body of the white-robed female general.

I saw that the woman surnamed Nadu took off her robe and took off the silver armor on her body, and suddenly, a black hair fell down, and the moonlight shrouded her delicate figure, exuding a soft light, and her delicate face was slightly lazy because of tiredness.

"Oh, what a beauty. ”

A dark cloud drifted past the bright moon, and the room was dark for a moment, and an old voice suddenly sounded, and a dark shadow could be vaguely seen in the corner of the room.

"It's you. The white-robed female general's face changed drastically, and she lost her voice, and then hurriedly looked outside the house, only to find that the two soldiers on duty outside the door, together with the four shadow guards in the courtyard and in the room, were unaware.

"Boom, yes, it's an old man. The mysterious dark shadow monster laughed twice and admitted.

"How long have you been here? The white-robed woman took her seat, pulled off her white robe and draped it over her body, and sat down on the bed.

"It's been a long time, but you just took off your clothes and didn't pay attention, don't worry, I'm not interested in your female doll. The black shadow hid in the shadows, couldn't help but tease, and then said it again.

"By the way, you actually let go of that group of dart masters today, which surprised me, with your cautious character, it is not easy to kill directly, so why bother to make a reward, is it not that you have any other thoughts at this time, and you want to report to the three princes?"

"Hmph, although the three princes are conceited, they are not straw bales, and after being fooled once, they will only be more cautious. This time, Hong Wantian was used as a bait to lure out the impermanence of the two elders, and it was difficult to guarantee that the third prince did not arrange any other guest secretary as the second plan. ”

"And there is no impermeable wall under the sky, the three princes will find out that black and white impermanence is dead with a little means, and there is no difference between killing and not killing this group of dart masters. ”

"On the contrary, if this group of dart masters are alive and tracked down, it is likely to distract the attention of the three princes, and it can also buy us more time. The white-robed female general snorted coldly and said angrily.

"Soldiers, soldiers, treacherous ways, fiction is real, reality is virtual, so it is. The black shadow was stunned for a moment after hearing this, revealing a sudden look, and couldn't help but praise it.

"It's a good Du Ru tears, first he planned it, deceived the three princes with the true and false princes, and now he is suspicious, leaving flaws, and thinking that the three princes will have a headache. No wonder he is the leader of the shadow guard at such an age, and the vision of the Nine Princes is really not bad. ”

"Who are you? Who is your master? Why do you even have to be driven by the Nine Princes? With your advanced cultivation, if you want to get rid of the black and white impermanence that is just a casual thing, why do you want the Nine Princes to send someone here? The Thirteen Princes are just a child, what secrets are hidden in him, so that you have to take great pains to bring them back to Chujing? Is it related to Empress Xiao, who died inexplicably back then?" The white-robed young general's face was covered with frost, and his words were full of anger, and he asked questions one after another like a cannon.

"Jiji, you really have a lot of questions, for the sake of bringing the Thirteen Princes back, I'll tell you some irrelevant parts. The mysterious shadow seemed to be very happy, and explained in an old voice.

"The old man's name is 'Yuecheng', as for who my master is, you don't have to know, just know that my master wants to erase the royal family of Chu, it's just a casual matter, even if it is the ancestor of the five major sects, I can't help my master. ”

"If I don't make a move, I naturally have my reasons, after all, in this Great Chu Country, there is still one person who has to be guarded against. As for the thirteen princes, I only know that there is a shocking secret on him, and as for what the secret is, even I don't know very well, but my master ordered me to bring it back to Chujing intact. ”

The mysterious shadow came to an abrupt end at this.

"Hmph, in this Great Chu Country, what do the five major sects represent, I think you know better than me, who is your master who is sacred, and he doesn't even care about the ancestor of the sect......?

Na Du Ru was about to ask again, but saw that the mysterious black shadow slowly dissipated.

"Okay, you know enough, the old man won't say much, you still do your duty, bring the thirteenth prince back to Chujing, and I will follow you all the way......"

The old voice sounded in the ears of the white-robed female general, as if there was nothing, and then the black shadow broke out and disappeared, leaving only Du Ru tears with a puzzled face.

Nadu sat on the bed with tears on his face.

If these words came from someone else's mouth, this woman would never believe them, and would only take them as a joke.

But when I thought of the Ninth Prince's high position, there were hundreds of Jin Ling Keqing in the court.

Among them, the four major capitals and the imperial court elders were all unfathomable people in cultivation, comparable to the genius disciples of the five sects.

Now, these people are at the mercy of him as a puppet, and they are convinced in their hearts.

Who is its master, what is it plotting, and who is it that makes it wary?

And what earth-shattering secrets did the thirteen princes and Queen Xiao master......

All kinds of questions, all kinds of mysteries, rushing to the face, I thought that under the inquiry, I could get the answer, but what I didn't want to get was more questions.

What this woman didn't know was that a few years later, because of this person, Chutian's wind and clouds changed color, and the vitality of the five major sects was greatly damaged.

And it is far from the small state of Chu alone, and it has even alarmed the entire continent.

And all of this is inextricably linked with Shen Yun.

The woman couldn't figure it out, shook her head, and didn't think much about it.

After all, his status is humble, but he is an ant-like existence in the eyes of the five major sects, how can a small shadow guard commander under the hands of the Nine Princes control the overall situation?

Just do what you are told.

The woman couldn't help but think of the white-gauze woman who died tragically during the day, and she felt a little sad in her heart, and sighed in her heart.

And our protagonist Shen Yun is lying on the bed at the moment, unable to sleep, and when he closes his eyes, it is all what he has seen during the day.

Hey, in the world, the body can't help itself, the fate is in the hands of others, the hands of heaven and earth, who can really control their own destiny?

Thirteen-year-old Shen Yun actually had the same emotion as this woman at this moment, but he was still unconscious, he didn't realize this thought of himself, and he didn't know that he was the protagonist struggling in the whirlpool of conspiracy.
