A red sunset shone on the courtyard of Dali Temple, and the sky was half blue and half red. The setting sun does not have the vigor of the rising sun, nor the scorching heat of the midday sun, and all its dazzling light has been restrained, just like the old general below, only exuding a faint and soft afterglow of the setting sun.

"Squeaky ......"

The door was gently pushed open, and a young Dali Temple official walked in slowly carrying a food box.

"General Zhao, it's time to eat. ”

The young man had clear eyebrows, a talent, and a smile on his face, but when he looked at the burly old man, his eyes couldn't help revealing a complicated color.

"Xiao Yue, it's you again!"

Zhao Ping withdrew his gaze looking at the sunset, and greeted the young man with a kind smile on his face.

"Yes, I have the honor to serve General Zhao, but I have worked so hard to snatch this errand from my colleagues. ”

Xiao Yue grinned and replied with a smile.

"Haha...... You can speak. ”

Zhao Ping shook his head, he knew that this young man was not welcomed in Dali Temple, and many chores would be instructed to do it, and things that were easy to offend people like greeting himself would be placed on him.

The food box is opened, there are two layers, four dishes and one soup, all of which are simple home-cooked side dishes, and there is a small jar of wine next to it.

Zhao Ping's shackles sounded and put the dishes on the table with Xiao Yue, and finally took out the wine jar, and couldn't help but sigh in his mouth.

"It's hard for you to get me this food every day. ”

"Where is General Zhao? These are all specially arranged for you by Dali Temple, what is there to be embarrassed about. ”

Xiao Yue waved his hand politely.

"Haha, Xiaoyue, don't bully me. If Dali Temple can give people these food, I'm afraid many people are reluctant to leave. ”

Zhao Ping shook his head with a smile, and said, "Sit down and have a drink together?"

"No, the general will use it himself, I won't drink. ”

Xiao Yue was called to break his mind, and his face couldn't help but turn red.

"I don't actually drink much either, but now, only the heat of alcohol can make me feel my blood flowing. ”

Zhao Ping looked at the wine jar in the cup with complicated eyes and let out a deep sigh.

Xiao Yue saw that Zhao Ping's eyes were lost, and he couldn't help but persuade: "General Zhao, don't worry too much, you will definitely be fine, the eyes of the people in the world are clear! Your Majesty will definitely return your innocence." ”

"Well, I also believe that Your Majesty will understand my loyalty. ”

Zhao Ping squeezed out a smile on his face, and was about to pick up the chopsticks, when the corner of his eye suddenly found a bruise on the back of Xiao Yue's hand, as if it was caused by being whipped with a leather whip.

"Wounds on your hands?"

"It's okay, it's okay! ”

Xiao Yue hurriedly retracted his hand and said with a forced smile.

Although Zhao Ping's meridians have almost been abolished, the realm of an innate real person is thrown away, and the panic in Xiao Yue's heart naturally can't escape his induction.

"It's they who are bullying you again, if it's because they brought me these foods, don't send them to me in the future, I'm not a person who hasn't suffered. ”

Zhao Ping slowly stopped what he was doing and continued: "If you are blamed for my business, I will also feel uneasy. ”

"Where is General Zhao, you repelled the Wei army and saved so many people, what is this bit of food?"

Xiao Yue hurriedly waved his hand, and seeing Zhao Ping's concerned face, his eyes couldn't help turning red, and his voice was also choked.

"As for reproaches, I'm used to it, and I'm glad I can do something for you. ”

Zhao Ping opened his mouth, and he was speechless, and finally turned into a wry smile.

"Is it worth it? just for some food. ”

"Of course it's worth it, my father's hometown is from the place you recovered, and he has been talking about returning to his hometown until he dies, and it is you who have made his wish come true. You are the benefactor of our family and the hero of our Nanchu. ”

Xiao Yue replied categorically.

"Heroes?"

Zhao Ping muttered to himself.

"Yes, you're a hero, a real hero!"

Xiao Yue looked at Zhao Ping's eyes with a bright light, full of admiration and admiration.

"If a place needs heroes, then it must be miserable, and if people need heroes in their hearts, then their hearts must be filled with injustice. ”

Zhao Ping whispered softly, almost inaudible.

Xiao Yue was stunned, and finally muttered, "That's much better than having no heroes when you need them, right?"

Zhao Ping was also stunned, and finally turned into a faint sigh.

What Da Chu needs is not a hero who is a general, but a hero who is an emperor!

"Phew!"

The coachman pulled the reins, jumped out of the carriage with great dexterity, and lifted the window.

Zhen Xiang, who had gray hair and a ruddy face, got out of the carriage with the support of the coachman, stopped, and looked up at the Dali Temple in front of him.

"I don't think I've been here in a while?"

"The last time Xiang Ye came here was a year ago, when the former Tobe Shangshu was imprisoned for his crimes. ”

A middle-aged man with a lupine scarf in the back arched his hand.

"Mingyun has a good memory!"

Zhen Xiangyu praised with a smile.

"Xiang Ye has won the award, and this memory can be like your old eyes. ”

The man named Mingyun politely replied, and at the same time followed Zhen Xiang's footsteps towards the gate of Dali Temple.

"See Zhen Xiang!"

A group of officials of Dali Temple have been neatly lined up in front of the gate, kneeling on the ground and shouting in unison.

"Get up! It's important to get down to business, don't pay attention to these pomp and circumstance!"

Zhen Xiang waved his hand, once upon a time, he was also very particular about these, these people kneeling represented their own power and their high status.

But there will be a time when he gets tired of everything, and now he is tired of these pomp and circumstance, but the people around him are still enjoying it, and it is for the sake of enjoying it, that they will gather around him.

"Yes! ”

Dali Temple led the way in front of his head, and his body bowed at 90 degrees, leading the way in front.

"Mr. Liu, please stay!"

Sword God Liu Suiyun had been following Zhen Xiang not far away with a stiff face, but at this time he was stopped by the person named Ming Yun.

"Dali Temple is an important place for the imperial court, Mr. has no official or position, Mr. should wait here! And there will be no danger for Zhen Xiang to go inside, and he does not need Mr.'s protection for the time being. ”

Mingyun said politely, but his attitude was very resolute.

"Good!"

Liu Suiyun's eyes did not have the slightest wave, and he turned around and walked towards an inn opposite, ignoring the displeased gaze of the person behind him.

Walking on the stairs paved with wooden planks, Liu Suiyun came to the door of a guest room upstairs.

"Brother Lu, when the old man comes, do you have to eat behind closed doors?"

"A generation of sword gods has become someone else's caretaker, which is really disappointing to Lu!"

Lu Qi's voice slowly floated from inside the house, and the door of the house opened automatically without wind.

"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. I can't compare to Brother Lu's chic, and I don't have the pride of Chen Daxia's sword to cut the restless world, so I can only be a powerful villain. ”

Liu Suiyun stepped into the house, his eyes darkening slightly as he spoke.

"Since Brother Liu insisted on getting involved in this court, he should have expected this to happen today. ”

Lu Qi still sat in a wheelchair and quietly stopped in front of the windowsill.

"Hey!"

Liu Suiyun walked to Lu Qi's side, and looked at Dali Temple not far away with Lu Qi with his hands behind his back.

"If I could do it all over again, I don't think I would be down the path I am today. ”

"There is never a regret medicine in the world that can be sold. ”

Lu Qi's faint interface.

"But I have wine here, so I can borrow you to get drunk. ”

"Haha...... , Brother Lu, I haven't seen you for ten years, but you still know me best!"

Liu Suiyunlang laughed and said, "Do you want to have a drink?"

"No, I still want to see why our Xiangye suddenly came to Dali Temple when it was almost dark. Of course, it would be better if Brother Liu could tell me. ”

"Do you think Zhen Xiangye will tell me? You don't see that I can't even step into the gate of Dali Temple, but now in Dali Temple, except for General Zhao, who else can bother Zhen Xiangye to go out in person?"

Lu Qi didn't say anything, and Liu Suiyun didn't talk to him, he touched the jar of wine in the house and came out, and poured himself a drink on the square table behind him.

"That sword is a master, but Brother Lu is familiar with it?"

"We got along for a few days. ”

"In a few days, you can escort General Zhao's family into Beijing for thousands of miles, and you can kill the chief judge Zhang Jun, this Chen Daxia is a heroic character. ”

"For him, I can entrust life and death. ”

Lu Qi said lightly.

"Some people are friends of life and death just by meeting once, and some people, even if they have been friends for decades, you can't see through him!"

"Haha! Brother Lu is talking about me!"

Liu Suiyun laughed, with bitterness in his smile.

"I can't see through it, how can I see through myself......! Huh?"

With a wry smile, Liu Suiyun frowned suddenly.

"Master!"

The next moment, I heard Lu Qi in front of the windowsill suddenly let out a sad howl, the howl was terrible, and the people who heard it couldn't help but feel sour.

"Brother Lu?"

Liu Suiyun was stunned, but saw Lu Qi and the wheelchair under him suddenly crash through the window sash in front of him, and jumped towards Dali Temple across a distance of more than ten zhang.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Lu Qi's movements were always being paid attention to, and at this time, he reacted quickly, and with a loud shout, the rain of arrows in the sky had already fallen overwhelmingly.

The rain of arrows is both urgent and fierce, and it is a fierce crossbow shooting!

A sword light as delicate as a dragon swept across the sky, and a spacious hole appeared in the rain of arrows, and Liu Suiyun followed closely and jumped towards Dali Temple.

The two of them did not suppress their aura at all, and the vast martial arts idea covered a radius of one mile, and fell straight into the back of the mountain-like house of Dali Temple, in a small courtyard.

There was a small pavilion in the courtyard, and in the small pavilion there was a man with shackles on his hands and feet, kneeling on the ground, his head hanging down, and a trace of blood falling from the low head.

Not far in front of the man, a man in his regular clothes stood solemnly.

"General Zhao, if you don't die, my Great Wei people are uncertain! Qi Le can only be sorry!"

This person is actually the sixth in the world, the Wei Dynasty is in charge of Qile!

"Whew!"

The wind was howling and rushing, and a palm and a sword had already fallen from the sky, heading straight for Qiler.

"Bold! trespass on Dali Temple, you can't find death?"

Dali Siqing scolded loudly, but his feet kept retreating.

"Liu Suiyun, you come back to me! Have you forgotten what you should do?"

Zhen Xiang's suppressed anger also sounded later.

"Boom!"

The wind in the courtyard was raging, the flowers and plants were folding, the pavilions were flying, and they fell straight more than ten zhang away, and the figure kneeling on the ground also fell in front of Lu Qi's sad face.

Qingtian Palm Qile had already retreated to a few dozen meters away, and the long sword in Liu Suiyun's hand trembled again and again, Chongxiao's sword qi rose and fell back and forth, his teeth were clenched, his eyes kept changing, and finally he turned around suddenly, looked at Zhen Xiang and said: "Xiangye, this person is Qingtian Qile of the Wei Dynasty, who appeared in my Great Chu, shouldn't he be killed?"

"Qiler is one of the envoys to our court, and he is protected by the court, so don't interfere!"

Zhen Xiang's gray hair was blown backwards by the strong wind, but under the protection of the three people in front of him, he did not receive any damage in the energetic collision just now.

But when he looked at Liu Suiyun at this time, his eyes were already full of ruthlessness, and even a faint murderous intent surfaced.

"Come on, take down Lu Qi! Dare to break into Dali Temple, he must be punished by the canon, so as to set an example!"

Dali Siqing roared loudly, since they knew that Lu Qi lived opposite, they naturally made preparations in advance.

"Celestial Palm Qiler?"

As if he hadn't heard footsteps from all directions, Lu Qi stood aside with Zhao Ping, who had lost his breath, and looked at Qiler in the distance with emotionless eyes.

"It is Qi Le, Lu Daxia's name has been admired for a long time, and it is comforting to see it today. ”

Zeller smiled faintly and gestured chicly.

"You are the sixth in the world, I am the seventh in the world, but you and I have never fought each other, but I am a little unconvinced. I wonder if Your Excellency will dare to fight with me to determine the ranking?"

Lu Qi's voice was very flat, but the hearts of the people present were tight, because in Lu Qi's wheelchair hand, a small willow leaf flying knife suddenly appeared.

The flying knife is ordinary, but it carries the power of the seventh in the world.

"It's just a false name, if Lu Daxia wants it, you can take it at will. ”

Zeller's eyes shrank, and the momentum of lifting the blue sky on his body had also risen.

"What? Are you afraid of me being a cripple?"

Lu Qi's voice was still calm, not even a trace of murderous aura, but this was even more terrifying.

"What is it? Dali Temple is not a place where you say you will come, and you still want to compete with people when you come here, where are you in your back garden?"

Dali Temple Qing shouted angrily, and the masters and battle arrays that had already gathered in Dali Temple on the side had already stretched out and covered the whole field.

"Zhen Xiang, this is a battle between the rivers and lakes, let's not interfere, right?"

Liu Suiyun lowered his head and spoke to Zhen Xiang, with a pleading voice in his voice.

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. The people on the rivers and lakes can break the rules of my Da Chu? Then where is our majesty? How can we convince the people?"

Zhen Xiang replied coldly, ignoring the struggle in Liu Suiyun's eyes after speaking, and wanted to ask Dali Siqing to do it.

"Zhen Xiang, it's not good!"

A hurried call interrupted Zhen Xiang's movements, and a father-in-law dressed in the costume of a eunuch in the inner palace rushed over from behind at great speed.

"Hmm, Grandpa Li, what's the matter?"

Zhen Xiang obviously recognized this person, and his face couldn't help but change at the moment.

"Zhen Xiang, something is wrong! Your Majesty was assassinated and died!"
