Chapter 1: The Reunion of the Old (Part II)

Yang Ning and Qingping rode horses into the city, all the way to the horse, and did not care about pedestrians on the road, although the two of them may not be outstanding in riding, but both of them are strong in martial arts, if someone is not able to avoid, only need to whip out, you can sweep away the person, plus these two horses are long-term skilled good horses, without the rider's order, they are skilled to avoid obstacles, and Jinling Outer City after all, there are not many pedestrians, so only half an hour, it has reached the Zhenhuai Bridge across the Qinhuai Inner Water, directly to the Royal Street, and the Zhenhuai Bridge is the capital of Jinling. In the capital, although the streets are very wide, Suzaku Street can accommodate ten horses in parallel. But in the middle of the royal road in addition to the delivery of the emperor's decree or the urgent military report of the stagecoach, no one can ride a horse to gallop, and the two sides of the royal street are cloudy, shops gather, pedestrians are weaving, want to ride a horse to gallop is even more impossible. So after entering the city, the two of them slowed down their horses, but walked side by side, pointing at the scenery on both sides of the road along the way, but they still refused to mingle with the crowd, and walked forward as if no one was in the middle of the royal road. It's just that the sergeant patrolling the city saw that the two were richly dressed, riding a divine horse, Qingping was beautiful and delicate, and Yang Ning was also handsome and awe-inspiring, and regarded the two as the children of a powerful family, so although they didn't know the identities of the two, no one dared to come over to stop them.

At the time of the fall of the previous dynasty, it was the time of the invasion of Hu barbarians outside the Saiwai, internal and external troubles, the mountains and rivers were broken, the Central Plains was a place of a hundred battles, the time of the founding of the Great Chen was already full of devastation, although the southeast did not go through a hundred battles, but it was also damaged a lot, even if it was after 20 years of recuperation, but there was still a sense of fatigue under the clouds of war, the two of them traveled all the way, most of the places they passed had been infested by war bandits, which can be described as full of desolation. What we see today is completely different, Jinling City is a beautiful place in the southeast, and after many years of operation by the Duke of Yueguo, it can be said that it concentrates the essence of the southeast place, and the prosperous place can be described as unparalleled in the world. Yang Ning only felt that as far as his eyesight could see, they were all nobles who were beautifully dressed and riding fat horses, even if they were ordinary people, they were also well-dressed, and even the air was full of luxury. It's just that this kind of magnificence makes Yang Ning feel uneasy in his heart, just because he sensitively finds that whether it is the people or the businessmen, the smiles on their faces are hidden in the dazed emotions, but they are not as comfortable as the satisfied and peaceful smiles on the faces of the people when he is in Yueyang. Qingping didn't have these feelings, she was a girl after all, she saw all kinds of exquisite goods on both sides of the street, full of clothing, jewelry, rouge powder and other shops, only to feel dizzy, if she wasn't busy going to the inn that had been agreed in advance, waiting for Yi Buping to come to meet, I was afraid that I couldn't wait to get off the horse and play. At this moment, a clear voice passed through the crowd of people without hurry, and sounded beside the two: "Zijing Gongzi and Miss Qingping, don't you two come to harm, can you go upstairs to talk." ”

Yang Ning and Qingping looked up together, only to see a restaurant on the side of the road, behind the window on the second floor, a handsome young man in a blue shirt was standing as handsome as jade, smiling and inviting each other, his eyebrows were like swords, murderous and horizontal, but his expression was as warm as spring water, such a demeanor and appearance, the two recognized at a glance that it was Lei Jianyun, the young master of the Yueyang Sword Sect. Speaking of Lei Jianyun and the two of them are old acquaintances, Yang Ning upstairs in Yueyang once watched the battle with this person, it can be said that the first person he saw after recovering his sanity was Lei Jianyun, and later Yang Ning entrusted Shuangjue to Lei Jianyun to take care of before assassinating Luo Chengyu, although he later gave Shuangjue to Luo Chengyu under the persecution of Luo Chengyu, but thinking of his situation at the time, and after all, it was Yang Ning who leaked the hiding place of Shuangjue, whether it was Yang Ning or Shuangjue, he never complained about him, and when he met in a different place, this person can indeed be regarded as old. Yang Ning and Qingping exchanged glances, and the two turned over and dismounted together, and walked towards the restaurant.

Yang Ning threw the reins of the horse to Xiao Er, who came to greet him, and walked towards the building, not forgetting to instruct: "Man, our two horses have a bad temper, don't tie them up with other horses, remember to use the best horse material, and brush it by the way, there is no time to stop along the way, the horses are covered with dust." While saying this, he couldn't help but smile, when he was a cook in Yueyang Tower, he often heard guests say this, and today his heart moved, and he actually said it himself, thinking of the chaotic days of Yueyang Tower for two years, Yang Ning only felt stunned in his heart, I don't know if he is happier than those two years now.

At this time, Lei Jianyun was coming downstairs to greet him, hearing Yang Ning's words, he remembered what had happened to him, and he was at a loss for a while, the first time they met, this handsome young man in front of him was just a humble cook, and he even had a killing machine, and he didn't expect that the situation would change dramatically, this young man turned out to be a peerless master, if it weren't for his mercy, he was only afraid of dying on the Yueyang Tower, now goodbye, this young man has moved the world, he is the Demon Emperor, and his identity is even more different, and it is really sighing to think about the changes.

However, Lei Jianyun is a resolute young hero after all, although his heart is turning back and forth, but what he shows is just a pause, almost immediately sobered up, walked downstairs quickly, and said in front of the two: "Zijing Gongzi, Miss Qingping, Jianyun heard that the two of them were going to Jinling, and they waited on the way, just to invite the two of them to drink a glass of water and wine, thank you for your willingness to appreciate the light." ”

Qingping thought of Lei Jianyun's righteous help in the past, although he was not the end of virtue, but in the face of the noble prince of Yan Wang, he knew that the other party only needed to say a word to the king of Dian to eradicate the Yueyang Sword Sect. Yang Ning calmly accepted Lei Jianyun's salute, although he didn't pay attention to etiquette, but in his identity, no matter who saluted him, he felt that it was a matter of course in his heart, but in the eyes of others, he would only think that he was too arrogant, Lei Jianyun was originally an arrogant person, if it was in the past, even if he didn't say it on the surface, he would have held a grudge in his heart, but after these many things, he has become much calmer, so he just smiled lightly, stretched out his hand to Su Ke, and invited the two of them to go upstairs.

Since this restaurant can gain a foothold in the royal street, it naturally has a unique place, although the pattern is not very broad, but the window of the cleaning is bright and clean, almost the snow cave is general, only the left and right walls are hung with a landscape painting axis, one side is Qinhuai ten miles, on the other side is the Haoyue reed flower, the brushwork is beautiful and delicate, there are only five or six pairs of seats on the entire second floor, all the boxwood tables and chairs, the dust is not clean, but also the corner of the window is vacant, put on the piano table sheng flute, choose a beautiful girl, play some simple and elegant tunes, quiet in the middle of the noisy, it is really a good place to gather around。 And because I don't like the laity to bother, this upstairs only sells vegetarian seats, and even the wine only sells some light fruit wine, so as not to let anyone get drunk and make trouble. Such a place makes people feel the air of ease as soon as they walk in, and Lei Jianyun must have enveloped the entire second floor, so there is no one else upstairs, and it seems even more quiet and peaceful.

After going upstairs, there were two maids in Tsing Yi who stepped forward to greet each other, one of them led Qingping to the corner next to the stairs, where a small space was separated by a paulownia wood hollow screen, in which there were copper basins and square towels and other toiletries, only to see the clear and clear basin of clear water, Qingping felt full of dust, and took off the cloak under the service of the maid, washed up, rearranged the appearance before turning the screen, but saw that Yang Ning had also been freshened outside the screen, both of them were new, couldn't help but smile at each other, and walked hand in hand to the window seat and sat down, Lei Jianyun had already ordered a banquet, and the white porcelain dish was full of delicate dishes that were still fresh in greenThe silver pot is filled with pale red wine syrup, and this table is pleasing to the eye.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, Lei Jianyun made people remove the wine and food, replaced them with tea snacks, and ordered a flute song, a girl in yellow with a light veil walked upstairs gracefully, took a hole flute and played it, the sound of the flute is as clear as water, and the atmosphere is like a dream, which makes people intoxicated.

Waved off the girl in yellow, Qingping took a sip of tea, smiled and glanced at Lei Jianyun, who was full of smiles and hospitality, and asked as if unintentionally: "Master Lei Shao, when Qingping was in Dongting, I once heard that at this time of year, it is an important time for the disciples of the Yueyang Sword Sect to compete in martial arts and determine the rank and inferiority. And the young master is Bai Dao Junjie, at this time, he doesn't treat our sisters and brothers as enemies, and he should stay away, how can he take the initiative to invite and treat him hospitablely?"

Yang Ning's expression changed slightly when he heard this, he didn't think about this, only when Lei Jianyun was an old man, and the reunion here reminded him of the past, so he happily went to the appointment, could it be that this person also has bad intentions, although he didn't feel malice, but a pair of eyes were as cold as frost.

Lei Jianyun's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled calmly: "Lei is still thinking about when Miss Qingping will show her suspicions? But this time the young lady is too worried, Lei does not have the slightest malice, this invitation in addition to remembering the past feelings, but also to warn Zijing Gongzi for the king's rumors, Cuihu Ping Fairy has learned that Zijing Gongzi killed his elder, presumably will come to the door soon, although the son's martial arts are superb, but compared to the Ping Fairy is still slightly inferior, please be careful with the son, if you are embarrassed, you can go to Yueyang to take refuge, think that the Ping Fairy will not be killed in Yueyang. There is one more thing, please also beware of the prince, the king was hindered by the covenant that day, and the prince of Yan Wang once said that he would not remember the old evil, so he would hand over the prince to Ximen Rin and send it to Xindu. Unexpectedly, Ximen Rin actually intended to murder his son, and after thinking twice, he suspected that the prince of Yan had a grudge against him, and he did not want to damage the reputation of Corporal Lixian, so he would fake Ximen Rin for this unrighteous thing. Now that the son has escaped, he must be careful that the prince of Yan Wang continues to coerce the son in the name of Miss Lu Qi, and also asks the son and Miss Qingping to be careful in everything. ”

Qingping's heart sank when she heard this, and she suspected that Luo Chengyu's intentions were originally her heart knot, but this matter could also be regarded as Wu Heng, the king of Yunnan, was too worried, but the matter of Pingyan was a heavy blow. After she and Zi Jing reunited, she naturally found that Zi Jing had not faded scars, and asked again and again in heartache, of course, she learned about the duel between Zi Jing and Pingyan Lake, and after the battle of Chibi, she learned that the colorless nunnery master turned out to be the guide of Pingyan, and she had long been secretly worried, and when she heard Lei Jianyun's warning, although she had already prepared in her heart, she still felt a cold air gushing out of her heart when she thought of the sword marks on Yang Ning's chest, and couldn't help but reach out and hold Yang Ning's arm, her eyes were full of panic.

Yang Ning looked indifferent, as if Lei Jianyun had just said a few jokes. Unlike Qingping, he already knew that Pingyan would never let him go, but he had never been afraid, the fate of Pingyan had long been deeply tied to him, he would not regret killing Pingyuehan, nor would he dare to face Pingyan because of guilt, the decisive battle between the two would happen sooner or later, so he didn't take this matter to heart, but it was Lei Jianyun's reminder about Luo Chengyu, which aroused his interest. After thinking for a while, he said lightly: "Have you taken refuge in the predecessor of King Wu of Dian?"

Lei Jianyun was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Yang Ning not to ask about Pingyan, but instead asked about his own situation, and his heart couldn't help but warm, and said with a smile: "Exactly, in today's world, no matter how outstanding a person is, if he can't be related to the first emperor and the three feudatories, or the Yue Guo Mansion in Jiangning, it is amazing, unparalleled in the world, and it is inevitable that the west is struggling, and life and death are in the hands of others." Lei used to think very highly of himself, until he experienced the lessons of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, he did not understand this truth, so he surrendered to His Royal Highness the King of Dian a month ago, and the king did not abandon arrogance, and took it under his command. ”

Yang Ning glanced at Lei Jianyun deeply, and said coldly: "You hate Luo Chengyu, don't you?"

Lei Jianyun's heart trembled slightly, and he smiled and said: "Prince Zijing said that he laughed, what kind of person is His Royal Highness the Prince, the fate of the past, Lei Mou saw His Royal Highness's demeanor in person, and he still remembers it, if it weren't for the foundation of the Yueyang Sword Sect in Baling County, Lei Mou might still go to the same place, how could he resent His Royal Highness the Prince, what did the prince misunderstand?"

Yang Ning slowly shook his head and said: "You don't have to hide it from me, when my life was dying, I just remember to tell Luo Chengyu that you can take him to find the two sisters, but you didn't tell him how to win the trust of you, plus the two sisters are not willing to leave with him, although you are not a person who keeps your promises, and you are not even a mighty and unyielding person, but you are arrogant by nature and scheming, even if you have to give in to others, you will try your best to save face afterwards." I forced you with life and death that day, and although you gave in for a while, you still tried every means to show favor to me, wasn't it just to save the situation? Luo Chengyu has a noble status, and the masters around him are like clouds, and he must be very rude to you when he is in a hurry, and he must have offended you more than me, so you will hold a grudge and even give up your unique ambition and turn to serve Wu's seniors, right?"

Lei Jianyun only felt cold sweat, and said cautiously: "How can Gongzi think so, if I really hate His Royal Highness the Prince, why don't I take refuge in the royal family or the Duke of Yue, who doesn't know that they are the enemies who are inseparable from His Royal Highness the Prince, but His Royal Highness the King of Dian has formed an alliance with His Royal Highness the Prince, even if I want to take revenge, I won't do such a foolish thing, right?"

Yang Ning said indifferently: "I know your character, if you have an enemy, you will not be openly against him, you must be trying to get close to him, find his weaknesses, and seek to succeed in one blow." On that day, you were obviously afraid that I would hate me, but you did everything possible to get close to me, presumably this is the truth, although I don't know why you really didn't have hostility later, but if you hate Luo Chengyu, the way to retaliate must be to approach him first, and taking refuge in Wu seniors is the first step, and this time taking the initiative to invite us is the second step, you must think that I have formed a deep enmity with Luo Chengyu, so I will win me over and want to deal with him, is it, Wu seniors are open-minded, even if he suspects Luo Chengyu, if there is no real evidence, he will not export it casually, but people like Luo Chengyu, even if they really do something, will they still leave evidence for othersIf it weren't for Senior Wu's rumors, what is your purpose in sowing discord without authorization, and do you want me to ask Senior Wu in person?"

Lei Jianyun's face has turned blue, he never imagined that it was just a short time together on the Yueyang floor in the past, this young man actually saw himself clearly, what he was thinking must be a hole in him, he could also understand this young man's temperament, such a lonely and unruly temperament, since he knew that he had the intention to deceive and exploit, for him, most of them would be killed and then quickly, only to feel the deepest fear surging from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help but tremble lightly, and he couldn't even hold the teacup, if it weren't for the pride in the deepest part of his heart, he was afraid that he would have to bend his knees and beg for mercy。

Yang Ning caught a glimpse of Lei Jianyun's expression, only to feel at a loss in his heart, these days have experienced all kinds of intrigues, although he has no intention of this, but there are many thoughts that he originally saw clearly but did not understand, but now he knows it well, but although he understands, he only feels tired, just like the person in front of him, he hates and fears a person but wants to get close to him, this kind of behavior really makes him guess, and even wants to use himself, doesn't he know what it is to seek skin with a tiger? In fact, he could have not demolished him, but in any case, this person really helped him take care of his two sisters when he was in danger that day, and he would never forget this affection. However, he can tolerate provocations by others in person, but he can't tolerate secret schemes, so this time, Lei Jianyun really did something wrong, he sighed slightly in his heart, and he said coldly: "You kill yourself, I won't tell Senior Wu your intentions, and I won't implicate your Yueyang Sword Sect." ”

Lei Jianyun felt miserable when he heard this, and wanted to try to justify, but he saw that Yang Ning's eyes were as cold as ice and snow, this time he didn't bring his henchmen at all for convenience, if Yang Ning wanted to kill him, no one would help, let alone resist, and he couldn't even escape, thinking of this, he felt disheartened, raised his head and said:" Childe is aware of everything, Lei is indeed clever and wants to deceive Childe, but although Lei is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is not a short-sighted person, if Childe wants to kill Lei, it is better to do it yourself, but he will not be restrained in the future. After saying that, he had already clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. Although he is still sitting, his posture has changed to the appearance of a tiger that wants to rise up, and he obviously has the determination and courage to fight to the death.

Yang Ning naturally didn't care about Lei Jianyun's resistance, he knew the depth of the person's martial arts in front of him, smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and stroked the hilt of Chunjun's sword, although he did not draw the sword, but the sword qi had already gushed out in wisps, clamping the person on the opposite side, just when he was about to send his hair, a slender hand gently pressed on his hand, preventing him from drawing his sword and killing people next. Yang Ning turned his head suspiciously, and caught a glimpse of Qingping's thoughtful eyes, since Yang Ning regained his memory, Qingping almost never interfered with his decisions in this regard, today's move made Yang Ning couldn't help but be confused, he knew that Qingping would definitely not beg his subordinates to be merciful because of soft-heartedness, then he must be a little too reckless, his mind turned, and the killing intent gradually faded, until his eyes regained calm, Lei Jianyun felt that the heartstrings hanging high were loosened, and the cold sweat around his body gushed out, he was excited for a while, and he actually forgot that the young man in front of him was definitely not a person who would be broken because of the arrogance of the opponent, if it weren't for Qingping to stop him, I was only afraid that I was dead at the moment, and I couldn't help but look at Qingping with gratitude.

Qingping turned a blind eye, and after smiling sweetly at Yang Ning, she turned her head to Lei Jianyun and said, "There are some things that the master of Lei Shaomen has not said yet, wouldn't it be too unjust to die in the hands of Zijing like this." ”

Yang Ning and Lei Jianyun were both slightly stunned when they heard this. Yang Ning can't think of anything that he didn't notice but Qingping can find out, you must know that if Lu Qi is here, Yang Ning may believe that Lu Qi has seen any clues, but it is different if you change the usually careless Qingping, if you give Qingping clear information and purpose, then Qingping can plan a far-reaching layout similar to the Battle of Chibi, but if faced with a foggy situation, Qingping has neither the ability of Lu Qi to peel off the cocoon, nor her own intuition to penetrate the essence, most of them are in the clouds and fog, I don't know why。 And Lei Jianyun was even more surprised, even he couldn't think of any reason to justify, he was such a mean and stingy person, if he suffered a loss, he must find a way to retaliate, and his favorite is the way to pretend to be kind to approach the enemy, although he does have a good impression of Yang Ning and Qingping, but this does not change the fact that he has the intention to use Yang Ning's murderous weapon, after all, he has committed this young man's taboo.

Seeing this, Qingping smiled secretly in her heart and smiled: " Lei Shaomen Master is the master of a door anyway, this identity is humble, the power is high, there is naturally an account in his heart, if Zijing offends the young master, the young master wants to try to retaliate is right, but people like Yan Wang Shizi offended the young master, the young master should be able to endure this breath, and instead of such a desperate revenge, not to mention killing 10,000 enemies, self-loss 3,000, for an enemy like Shangxindu, even if there is His Royal Highness the King of Dian as the backing, it is difficult to have a chance of winning, among which the young master will not be careless. But now the young master is determined to take revenge, and even does not hesitate to use Zi Jing, does the young master really not know Zi Jing's temperament, the world says that the demon emperor is unruly, and he will repay him, which is also a bit of a truth, no matter ten or twenty years, if Zijing knows the young master's intentions, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will not be able to save the life of the young master. What is the reason why the young master hates His Royal Highness the Prince so much, even at the cost of his life, think about it, the young master and His Royal Highness the Prince have no hatred for killing their father and killing their son, so there is only one answer, I don't know if the young master is jealous of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World for leaving my sister in Xindu?"

When Lei Jianyun heard this, his jade face suddenly turned red, and in an instant, he was as pale as paper, and between red and white, people felt the inexplicable pain and confusion in his heart. This is the deepest obsession in his heart, even to his dear parents have never said it, Yueyanglou is a side, Qixingwu gets along for a few days, and he has a deep love for the delicate and beautiful green Qi like a white lotus. That day, he resolutely refused to admit that he knew the whereabouts of Shuangjue, and it was not until Luo Chengyu was impatient that he threatened the entire Yueyang Sword Sect that he had no choice but to give in. Seeing that the person he liked was taken away by Luo Chengyu, the humiliation and hatred in Lei Jianyun's heart could not be expressed, so he vowed to take revenge, and it was because of this that he changed the position of the Yueyang Sword Sect that he had never been involved in the struggle for power, and took the initiative to join the command of Wu Heng, the king of Yunnan. But he would never reveal such thoughts, exposing them to Qingping had already made him ashamed to death, let alone using this reason to seek Yang Ning's forgiveness, even if it was a matter of life and death, he couldn't do it.

Seeing this, Qingping knew that she had guessed correctly, and couldn't help sighing: "If Qingping expects it to be good, the young master really loves my sister, so he can't tolerate the behavior of the prince of Yan, but the young master also knows that my sister and the royal family, Jiang Ning is naturally incompatible, if they vote for them, even if they rescue their sister in the future, it is impossible to repay the pain of lovesickness, so they will defect to His Royal Highness the King of Dian, first, to be a friend can be convenient for the young master to calculate the prince of Yan, and secondly, if you rescue your sister, the prince of Yan will look at the face of His Royal Highness the King of Dian, and you can't force you to hand over people, I think you pretended to pass on the order of the King of Dian, just so that we can rescue my sister as soon as possible. ”

Lei Jianyun's heart turned back and forth, and finally nodded: "Yes, although I don't know the depth of the relationship between you and Youji, but just by virtue of Mr. Qingjue's origin, presumably Miss Lu Qi can have no danger in Xindu, so you can enjoy the mountains and rivers without any worries, but I don't want to sit back and watch Miss Lu Qi's heart being taken away, if I can make you doubt Luo Chengyu's intentions, and then rescue Miss Lu Qi from Xindu, my wish will be half achieved." You must not know, the confidant I sent to Xindu sent a message, and now everyone in Xindu knows that there is a beautiful woman with both talents and appearances living in the mansion of the prince of Yanwang, Luo Chengyu's love for Miss Lu Qi is meticulous, everyone says that His Royal Highness the Prince will accept Miss Lu Qi as a side concubine, although Lei is ashamed of himself, knowing that it is difficult to match a beautiful woman like Miss Lu Qi, but Luo Chengyu will not be allowed to defile her with despicable means, so no matter what you want to do with me, you must promise to rescue Miss Lu Qi quickly. ”

Yang Ning and Qingping looked at each other, although Qingping guessed that Lei Jianyun hated because of jealousy, but she didn't expect that things had come to this point, Yang Ning remembered Lian Wuxi's ambiguous words, and said with some hesitation: "Qingping, do you say this is true, will Sister Luqi really marry Luo Chengyu?" Saying the last few words, Yang Ning's face was already very ugly, if Lu Qi married someone else, it would be fine, if she married Luo Chengyu, then Yang Ning would be unwilling. He has a rebellious temperament, and he is unrestrained, without scruples, and he can be happy with grudges, if there is a bored person, he can naturally kill and vent his hatred, but Luo Chengyu He can't kill, so the only person he really resents in this world may be Luo Chengyu, if Lu Qi really marries him, let him always think that his most respected and close sister has become a mandarin couple with his enemy in the future, it is better to let him die.

Qingping naturally knew the complicated emotions in Yang Ning's heart towards Youji, although she didn't understand the details, but if Sister Luqi really married Luo Chengyu, she was afraid that Yang Ning might never see her sister again for the rest of her life when she was angry, thinking that if she couldn't see this young man who made her worry and heartache from now on, Qingping only felt that everything around her seemed to be bleak, but if her sister really fell in love with Luo Chengyu, how could she bear to hurt her sister's happiness? Thinking of this, I only feel that the gloomy mist is shrouded in my heart, and I can't get rid of it no matter what.

Lei Jianyun had gotten rid of the shadow of death at this time, and regained his original wisdom and wit, seeing that although Yang Ning's expression had not changed, it was just a little more gloomy, and his eyes were already deep and cold like a bottomless abyss, and even Qingping's beautiful face was sad and condensed, so he knew that his fierce medicine was right, and hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot:" Miss Lu Qi is white and flawless, clear and beautiful like a white lotus in the water, if she is trapped in the Yanwang Mansion, wouldn't it be a pearl cast into the dark, and the emperor's righteous sister, if she succumbs to the side room, it will inevitably damage the emperor's face, even if it is inconvenient to take it back immediately, the two of them must inform Miss Lu Qi of the situation, and if you want to come to Miss Lu Qi's pure and arrogant bones, Luo Chengyu will never let Luo Chengyu succeed in his wish. ”

Qingping's heart moved when she heard this, thinking of the scene of the sisters getting along in the past, and suddenly the gloom was gone, but she deliberately locked her sideburns and eyebrows, revealing more and more sadness, until Lei Jianyun's eyes showed a look of worry, and then sighed: " This matter can only do its best, obey the destiny of heaven, although I hate Luo Chengyu very much, but I also have to admit that he is a dragon and a phoenix, quite a king, which makes people feel heartbroken at first sight, my sister is such a character and talent, there are really not many men in this world who can match her, this Luo Chengyu is also good, if my sister is really tempted, I can only bless her as a sister, but if my sister has not been moved, then Luo Chengyu will take the world in the future, and give the queen's throne with both hands, it is impossible to marry my sister, alas, it would be good if someone could pass a message to my sister, but unfortunately Zijing and I can't go to Xindu, otherwise Luo Chengyu will embarrass my sister. Speaking of this, he glanced at Lei Jianyun with a resentful gaze.

Lei Jianyun comprehended, although he understood that Qingping was interested in using himself, but he thought that there was a way to prevent Lu Qi from really falling in love with Luo Chengyu, he was used and recognized, so he hurriedly said: "Miss Qingping, don't worry, Lei still has a few friends in Xindu, and the king's news channel can also be used. ”

Yang Ning also understood Qingping's intentions when he heard this, and smiled faintly at Qingping, Qingping understood, knowing that Yang Ning had promised not to kill Lei Jianyun, he also smiled slightly, and continued to say to Lei Jianyun: "I'll fix a book for a while, as long as you send it to my sister, presumably my sister won't be deceived by Luo Chengyu's sweet words." ”

Lei Jianyun was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly went out in person to ask for a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Qingping thought for a while, and then wrote a dense long letter on the special cotton paper, and then sealed it with a wax pill, handed it to Lei Jianyun, and carefully admonished: " This wax pill must be given to my sister in person, the secret words on this letter are only known to my sister, when my sister reads the letter, she will naturally have a reply, you have to hand it over to me intact, if you make trouble halfway, don't blame me for writing directly to my sister, let her promise to marry the prince of Yan Wang, anyway, our master said before, if our sister's life can marry the son of the old man, it is the best, then Luo Chengyu is not the son of the old man?"

Lei Jianyun was still smiling at the beginning, and when he heard the last sentence, his face changed greatly, his eyes were full of anger, if he didn't care about Yang Ning's warning gaze, he was afraid that he would have a seizure, but even if he woke up quickly, he knew that even if Lu Qi left Youji, if he wanted to pursue a beautiful woman, Qingping would never be offended, so he couldn't hold back his anger and even claim that it was.

Solved the trouble of cutting off the news from Lu Qi, Qingping valued the role of Lei Jianyun even more, at this moment the two sides already have a common secret, and there is no need to be reserved, Qingping asked bluntly: "By the way, Lei Shaomen, there is one more thing I can't figure out, what are you doing in Jinling, if you want to negotiate with the Duke of Yueguo, you must be new to the city, and you are not qualified enough, but in addition, I can't think of anything, what else is there, His Royal Highness the King of Dian will send you a dignified young master, Nanning upstart will go out in person?"

Lei Jianyun heard Qingping's unceremonious question, only felt that his eyebrows were jumping, and he only felt that such rude words should have been asked by Yang Ning, but in the blink of an eye, he saw that Yang Ning's eyebrows were full of attentive listening, and he knew that his thoughts were meaningless, but he was afraid that this pair of young girls would no longer distinguish between each other, and most of these questions were Yang Ning wanted to know, and Qingping asked them for him. He didn't know that he was overestimating Yang Ning's wisdom, Yang Ning didn't think about why Lei Jianyun appeared in Jinling, but since Qingping asked, he also felt a little interesting, so he just waited for Lei Jianyun to answer.

Sighing secretly in his heart, Lei Jianyun didn't dare to offend the little couple, and said calmly at the moment: "The two of you must have heard of the Han King Jinxiu County Lord's recruitment of relatives, and they were ordered to go to Wanbao Zhai to buy treasures as gifts, do you know about Wanbao Zhai's treasure collection conference?"

Hearing this, Yang Ning and Qingping's hearts suddenly moved slightly, but Yang Ning was just silent, just as he was not interested, Qingping didn't go to see Yang Ning, but just pretended to be curious and said: "Naturally, I have heard of the Treasure Collection, but what does this have to do with the selection of the husband of the Lord of Jinxiu County, isn't there a gift that His Royal Highness the King of Dian can get in his hand?"

Lei Jianyun naturally didn't take this matter very seriously, so he said unabashedly: "The two of you naturally don't care about these senseless things, in fact, it's because the Jinxiu County Lord's recruitment of relatives is related to the growth and decline of the princes' power, so I Nanning also sent an envoy to Chengdu, and the next is the marriage envoyβ€”β€”" As soon as she said this, Qingping had already raised her eyebrows, slapped the table and got up and said: "The surname is Lei, what are you talking about, just now you also said that you have a deep love for my sister, why are you going to propose marriage to the Jinxiu County Lord now?"

Lei Jianyun smiled bitterly: " Miss Qingping, you wait for me to say whether it is good or not, isn't there no way, frankly speaking, Nanning either does not have a suitable marriage envoy, or several disciples of His Royal Highness the King of Dian and some heroes in the family are stronger than Lei, but Nanning and Yizhou have repeatedly fought in the past, and they hate each other and are entangled, and if these people really succeed in courting, it will destroy the internal balance of Nanning, but if the mission sent by Nanning does not even have a marriage proposal, it will be too rude, so His Royal Highness the King of Dian will let Lei Mou fill the number indiscriminately, just because Lei Mou has just entered the command of the king, and there is no backstage, and the Yueyang Sword Sect is also a little famous, although the proposal is also Gao Pan, but it will not be so obvious, in fact, Lei understands in his heart that we are just stirring up the situation this time, as long as the county lord of Jinxiu does not marry into the Yang and Tang families. ”

Qingping's anger subsided when she heard this, but she asked again: "Since you don't want to make a successful marriage proposal, why do you want to buy a gift in person?"

Lei Jianyun sighed and said: "This matter is a long story, it is all because of the Splendid County Lord, the original scheduled date was November 15, but a few days ago from Chengdu came a message, the Splendid County Lord spread the world, saying that although the appearance is rough, but he does not want to let the Fire Phoenix County Lord specialize in beauty, in the past, when the Fire Phoenix County Lord chose a son-in-law, just because there was no one he liked, he refused to marry, if the people who proposed this time did not like it, he also vowed not to marry." ”

Hearing this, Yang Ning's eyes flashed with coldness, and he interjected coldly: "What kind of person is the Lord of Huofeng, can she also compare?" The tone is cold and piercing, murderous, and it makes people feel like falling into an ice cave.

Lei Jianyun's body was shocked by the murderous aura, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly, turned his head and glanced at Yang Ning strangely, and explained politely: "When the county lord of Jinxiu said this, it may also be that he admires the past of the county lord of Huofeng, and there should be no disrespect." ”

Yang Ning was silent, just urging Lei Jianyun to continue with his gaze.

Lei Jianyun secretly smiled bitterly and continued: "When the King of Han heard this, he asked the county lord what kind of man he needed to agree, so the county lord put forward three conditions and postponed the time until the beginning of December. The three conditions are as follows:

First, the suitor must give a dowry gift of a unique treasure that is unique in the world, regardless of its value, but must be a precious and unique gift.

Second, the person who proposes marriage must be a graceful and elegant talent, all kinds of talents, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in short, to perform on the spot, if you can't satisfy the county lord, everyone is convinced, you are not qualified to propose.

Third, the person who proposes marriage must play a game with the county lord, and the person who can crack the exquisite chess game set by the county lord is the county lord's fast son-in-law.

If the first condition can not be met, I am afraid that not only Lei will lose face, but the king will also be embarrassed, so he will be ordered to Jinling to participate in the treasure collection conference, hoping to choose a treasure that meets the heart of the county lord as a dowry. ”

When Qingping heard this, although she understood Lei Jianyun's difficulties, she still felt stunned, and couldn't help but mock: "I hope you have the same heart, since the county lord of Splendid Splendid dares to put forward these conditions, he must also be a beauty with both talent and appearance, Lei Shaomen's martial arts and appearance are all first-class, if he can get the heart of the county lord, he will definitely be able to rise to the top from now on, but I am afraid that I have long forgotten who my sister is." ”

Lei Jianyun said: "Miss Qingping, don't worry, there is only Miss Luqi in Lei's heart, no matter what Miss Luqi's mind is, Lei's heart will remain unchanged until death, if you violate this oath, when the five thunders hit the top, you will die under the chaotic blade." ”

Qingping's expression was shocked, and she saw Lei Jianyun's resolute expression between her eyebrows, knowing that this man was really infatuated, thinking of the words that Lu Qi had said when her sisters got along in the past, she only felt guilty in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh: "I'm just joking, why are you so serious, if my sister has no heart for you, do you still want to never marry?"

Lei Jianyun felt a slight pain in his heart, what he valued since he was a child was only fame and power, that is, he practiced swords hard, but it was just to compete for fame and fortune, he never thought that he would fall in love with a woman so much, but he also understood that after getting along for a few days, the woman had never had his own shadow in her eyes, and his infatuation was mostly intentional and ruthless, but even so, he never regretted it, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Sincerely, the golden stone is open, maybe Miss Luqi will miss Lei's affection." ”

Qingping sighed secretly, but she could only endure it, her heart moved, and she secretly said, why don't I and Zijing help him win the recruitment, maybe he will empathize with him, and take a fancy to the splendid county lord, so as not to make him sad in the future, thinking of this, she smiled and said: "You help me deliver the letter, I will not have nothing in return, in this case, I will give you a treasure that is unparalleled in the world, presumably the county lord will see it, and he will gladly accept it, I don't know if you want it?"

Lei Jianyun said in disbelief: "Miss Qingping's so-called treasures must be extraordinary, but I don't know what kind of treasure it is?"

Qingping's bright eyes flowed, and she looked at Yang Ning and said, "Zijing, what do you guess is the treasure I am talking about?"

Yang Ning naturally knew that the treasures that Qingping said must be treasures taken out of the secret collection, but except for the pure Jun sword, he didn't feel that there was any treasure unparalleled in the world, if it was the most conspicuous jade Buddha, although it could be called a treasure, but it might not be unparalleled in the world, at least the jade Buddha statue that I saw in Qifeng Palace back then, although it was not so dazzling, but whether it was carving or jade, I was afraid that it would be better than that, after thinking for a moment, he suddenly had an idea, raised his head and said: "Isn't it that beautiful picture?"

Qingping clapped her hands and said: "Zijing, you are still knowledgeable this time, but the name is wrong, what a beauty picture, that is the "Hairpin Beauty Picture" painted by Shengbi Qingyun, it is a peerless work of fine brush painting, and it should be regarded as unparalleled in the world." ”

Lei Jianyun was stunned and said, "Miss Qingping, did you say that the painting saint has gone through thirty years and traveled all over the world to draw a long scroll?"

Qingping said proudly: "Naturally, painting the saint Bi Qingyun has been running around all his life, just to seek the beauty of the world, and draw it into the picture scroll, and the final completed hairpin beauty picture has drawn a total of twelve stunning beauties, including the concubine and the wife, and the dancing concubine and famous prostitute, all of them are all captivating countries and cities, mortals can see one of them, it is already a blessing for three lives, if you can take this picture scroll, you can see all the beauties in the world, isn't it a great joy in life." And Bi Qingyun's brushwork is delicate and expressive, even the clothes and patterns of the beauties are vivid, not to mention the expressions and appearances, which can be described as lifelike, the beauties drawn in them are not like the people in the painting, but like a real person with flesh and blood, I just look at it and feel ashamed of myself, I am afraid that in the world except for my sister, there is no other woman who can compare with the beauty in the painting. Only Zijing, you idiot, will be indifferent, just take a look at it lightly, if the county lord of Splendid is really talented, he should laugh at this picture, otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult to get rid of the jealousy of women, but it is just gold and jade, and it is just ruined. ”

Yang Ning shrugged inexplicably, although the woman in the beauty picture is indeed fairy, and the woman he has seen in his life is really difficult to compare with the beauty in the painting, but in his mind, no matter how beautiful the appearance is, how can he compare it with the dearest and loved ones in his heart, looking at it, he still feels that Qingping's appearance is the most satisfactory.

Lei Jianyun sighed and said: "The Hairpin Beauty is a treasure coveted by men all over the world, and it would be a pity to give it to the Lord of Jinxiu, if it is sent to Luoyang, I am afraid that it can be exchanged for several cities?

Qingping smiled and said: "Now we are an offensive and defensive alliance, I won't hide it from you, this painting is naturally a tribute, but it was robbed halfway, the person who robbed the tribute is my father, and now it has fallen into my hands, and in addition to this painting, there are several famous calligraphy and paintings that disappeared at that time, as long as you take out a pair to sell, I am afraid that you will be able to eat and wear in the next life." Maybe it will be sold at the fair in a few days, so if you like it, you can check it out. ”

Lei Jianyun shook his head and sighed, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Since Miss Qingping has other calligraphy and paintings, it is better to choose another one and send it to me, this "Hairpin Beauty" may as well be auctioned at the treasure fair, presumably in addition to Lei, there are people who will like this painting as a dowry, anyway, I don't want to win, if I can let Yue Guogong or Luoyang visitors spend more than 100,000 taels of silver, I think both the lower and the king will be more happy." ”

This idea made Qingping raise her eyebrows lightly, and glanced at Yang Ning, both of them were sure that this idea was good, this is Jinling, presumably the Yueguo Mansion is close to the water, and this hairpin beauty must have fallen into the Yueguo Mansion in the end. Thinking of Shi Ming's aggressiveness in Chibi, as well as the warning hints on Fang Caifeng's platform, the two of them were unhappy in their hearts, and if they used a painting to force Shi Ming to hemorrhage, it would be very happy. What's more, there is also Lei Jianyun who can add fuel to the fire. I'm afraid that in order to prevent Lei Jianyun from getting the treasure, the Yue Guo Mansion will not give up this painting easily. Thinking of this, the eyes of the two of them were shining, for them now, the more silver taels, the bigger and more warships they can buy, the more, this is a good deal.
