At the beginning of June of the 23rd year of Chengping, Emperor Luan arrived outside the Jiangdu City.

However, the sky is not beautiful, and there is a continuous drizzle on this day, which seems to follow the footsteps of His Majesty the Emperor to Jiangdu.

The rain was not heavy, not slow, but the gloomy sky made people's hearts depressed a faint haze, and the heat mixed with damp water vapor made people a little more irritable.

Since the Dongjiang Grand Canal turned into the river, there are hundreds of warships moored on the river, in addition to the ships that accompanied the forbidden army, there are also the Jiangnan naval troops who came to meet the emperor, and the flags are all over the sky.

The merchant ships, grain ships, and passenger ships that originally docked here have all been expelled and evacuated to other places by the Jiangnan Navy Army.

This place, which once witnessed the battle between Xiao Yu and Lu Qian's armies, and witnessed countless swords and swords, was silent at this time, only the sound of rustling rain, all this was just for the "saint" in the mouth of one of the two saints in the world, the mouth of many officials.

After docking, the forbidden army first disembarked from the ship and lined up, layered around, standing in the rain, the raindrops knocked on the armor, the sound was crisp, but these carefully selected armor soldiers were indifferent to this and did not move at all.

Then there were the accompanying officials and generals, the ministers headed by Xie Suqing, dressed in official uniforms and majestic.

In the end, His Majesty the Emperor, who was personally holding an umbrella, wearing a black and red imperial robe and wearing a twelve-colored imperial crown, slowly walked down the boat.

Xiao Zhinan, the princess of Qiyang, Yu Kuang, the governor of the Houjun, the chief officer of the Yamen of the three divisions of Jiangdu, and Jiang Bin, the governor of the Jiangnan Secret Guard Mansion, welcomed the emperor.

There was a whimpering horn sounded, and all the soldiers in the array knelt on one knee, and the sound of the mountain cry resounded through the heavens and the earth.

His Majesty the Emperor turned to the sedan chair carried by 32 people to drive to the Jiangdu Palace, and specially let Xiao Zhinan get on the sedan chair, and the father and daughter rode together.

There are only two father and daughter in Luan's driving, and the distance between the dock and Jiangdu Palace is not far, so the two can talk for a short time, at this time, His Majesty the Emperor does not see the majesty of the emperor on weekdays, but has a little more gentleness as a father, and asks: "Why haven't you seen Nangui?"

Xiao Zhinan couldn't hide a little sadness on his face, and said: "He went to Wei for more than a month, and he hasn't returned yet. ”

Xiao Xuan frowned slightly and said, "Is there any news coming back?"

Xiao Zhinan said softly: "The last time the news was sent back, saying that Nangui once appeared in Wanghaitai in Chunxiang City of Wei State, and disappeared after escaping from the hands of Dust Leaf, and after a few days, the peak master of Shaguang Peak who was stationed on Biyou Island by Daomen disappeared, and some people speculated that Nangui did it, but he still did not see his whereabouts. ”

Xiao Xuan snorted, unlike his daughter's concern, as an emperor, he cares about the people of the world, so naturally he will not mess up because of some trivial things, and said calmly: "In this way, Nangui should have arrived at the thirty-six islands in the East China Sea, but I don't know which island he is on, you don't have to worry too much, maybe he will get what he wants this time." ”

Xiao Zhinan nodded slightly, and then turned to say, "Why did my father come to Jiangdu in person? Just let the imperial brother go on a trip on behalf of my father." ”

She paused for a moment, then added, "He's been here once anyway." ”

Xiao Xuan shook his head and said: "It's different, although Taibai is destined to be the third emperor of Daqi, but that is all in the future, as far as the current situation is concerned, the emperor of Daqi is still me, this position, only sitting on it is the emperor, whether it has been sat before, or may sit on it in the future, as long as it is not on it now, it is meaningless." ”

"Besides, there are some big fish that can't be caught with bait that isn't big enough. ”

Zhang Baisui, who was outside the sedan chair, looked up at the gloomy sky above his head, and a faint uneasiness swelled in his heart.

......

There is no nail in the mountains, and the cold does not know the year.

In the sword mound island, it is still the same. Here I don't know the years, I don't know the day and the night, I don't know the hours.

Xu Beiyou looked at all the bamboo slips during this time, but he found nothing, but he also completely stabilized the realm of the twelfth floor of the Earth Immortal, and then he began to try to absorb the sword qi divine intent of the Shugui One Sword, but the result was somewhat unexpected by Xu Beiyou.

The only C is X' version 6q, its!he.J are R (◇ pirate hU version (

A long time ago, Xu Beiyou, who had not yet been able to submit the twelve swords of the Sword Sect, once made an analogy. Tianlan, but evil, and Xuan Ming are like three beauties with different family backgrounds. Tianlan is a childhood sweetheart's small family jasper, gentle and amiable; but evil is a lady who has known each other for a short time, slightly alienated; as for Xuan Ming, it is a stunning beauty who has seen a lot of men in the world, after experiencing the old lord Sun Zhongmou, the eight winds do not move, and I regard men as floating clouds, and I don't care about Xu Beiyou at all.

However, the Shugui in front of him is different from the three of them, Shugui is like a stunning beauty who finally became a princess after all kinds of ups and downs, and then lost to the "Queen" Zhuxian in the competition for favor, and was beaten into the cold palace here by the "Emperor" Shangguan Xianchen, so he completely realized and saw through the red dust.

In the face of Xu Beiyou, the new master, it is not just that the eight winds are not moving, but that the sorrow is greater than the death of the heart.

Back then, Gongsun Zhongmou once said to Xu Beiyou that he has always been famous as a sword like a beauty, and a beauty with a sword is the most heart-wrenching.

Xu Beiyou now completely understands the meaning.

Xu Beiyou sat cross-legged on the futon, looking at the Shugui in his hand, especially the handwriting left by his ancestor Shangguan Xianchen.

Yu happened to come here, saw the remains of the ancestor, and was very emotional, so he left the sword he carried here for those who came after. Coupled with the four words "Shangguan Xianchen" in the inscription, it was just thirty-five words, so Xu Beiyou saw one word and one sword, a total of thirty-five swords, and the sword intent was vertical and horizontal.

Xu Beiyou stroked these handwritings with his fingers and whispered to himself, "From Sword One to Sword Thirty-Five?"

Xu Beiyou didn't know why the ancestor didn't write the last sword, and it stopped abruptly when he reached the thirty-fifth sword, is it the meaning that it is the thirty-sixth sword? Or did the master at that time fail to practice the thirty-sixth sword?

Xu Beiyou doesn't know, but when he stroked the words "waiting for the people who came after" with his fingers, he had a subtle understanding that the reason why the ancestor left Shugui here is probably not only because he wanted to prove that "Shangguan Xianchen has been here" is so simple, but also to point out a clear path for those who come after.

Xu Beiyou's speculation was unfounded, just a wonderful feeling, but he was convinced.

Sword thirty-six, Xu Beiyou stopped at sword thirty, only the last six swords remained, these six swords just correspond to the sixfold realm from the thirteenth floor of the earth immortal to the eighteenth floor of the earth immortal, the reason why Xu Beiyou failed to master the last six swords is not that he does not know the magic of the divine will, but because his realm is not enough.

Xu Beiyou suddenly remembered the two dreams he had had, in those two dreams, he had never used the sword thirty-six, he was almost invincible, and in the experience of setting foot in the realm of the eighteenth floor of the earth immortal twice, he had used the sword thirty-six twice, but it was not a complete sword thirty-six.

Thinking of this, many pictures suddenly flashed in Xu Beiyou's mind.

It was a rolling river rushing eastward, and countless warships were lined with warships on the river, which set off this plain far from the river was particularly deserted.

It was originally a field, but it has been barren due to the war, and there are large areas of weeds that have withered and yellowed, which is even more desolate in this already bleak season.

There was a white-clothed swordsman in the middle of this barrenness, walking slowly.

With his footsteps, the wind grew by itself, like a sharp blade, cutting a straight path through the overgrown weeds, and at the end of the path was a fragmented picture.
