"Plum Garden", quiet and mysterious, covers an area of nearly 100 miles, pavilions and pavilions, curved corridors and water rings, lotus pond plum garden, brocade Hui Garden, the mountains and rivers are integrated into the beautiful courtyard, the eaves warped corners, carved beams and painted buildings, Zhulan Cui Pavilion, more magnificent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Just in the early spring, the plum blossoms in the garden are blooming, adding a bit of warmth to the cold season, and the withered garden exudes a bit of spring. It's just that at this moment, the 'Plum Garden' is heavily guarded and impregnable, and the pavilions and pavilions and the hidden paths of the Plum Garden are guarded by the iron cavalry standing solemnly, with a cold face and a murderous atmosphere, and the warm spring mood is filled with a rushing evil atmosphere, which makes people dare not approach half a step.

The "Splendid Palace" is solemn above the secluded palace, The solemn atmosphere, at the head sat a young man of more than 30 years, wearing a gorgeous fox fur coat, covering his strong and toned figure, his hair was tied like a black jade bundle of hair crowns, hanging with a red ribbon of the same color as the hair crown, with embroidered soaring dragons, and his skin presented the weathered and tempered dark black, a heroic and graceful face, he sat crookedly on the high sandalwood chair, quietly closed his eyes, the two sideburns sword eyebrows trembled slightly, under the straight nose bridge, there was a curved lip, the corners of the lips on both sides drooped slightly, forming a cold and stubborn rhyme, the corners of the mouth at the moment were slightly evil, faintly flashing a sinister auraAt this moment, he seems to be serene, revealing a luxurious temperament and elegant demeanor. The momentum that faintly emanates from his body is like a mountain's calmness, a sea's vastness, a lion's might, and a snake's viciousness. It is the younger brother of the current emperor, Zhao Tianyue, the general of the Megatron Border Pass.

Behind him stood two figures quietly, one black and one green, the black-clothed young man "cold-faced Shura" cold rain, his face was cold, his body was thin, like an unsheathed sword, ready to unsheath and hurt people at any time, the sword was like his person, killing people invisibly;

Under the three people, there are four seats on the left and right, on the right is a man and a woman, the man is as pale as ice, sitting cross-legged, with his hair tied in a ponytail behind his head, looking nondescript, wide skin and big face, extremely ordinary appearance, only a pair of eyes exude a strong chill, his hands are placed on the table, and a long knife is placed horizontally next to his hand, the blade is very long, the surface of the scabbard is uneven, showing an irregular pattern, and like fish scales flashing with a cold breath; , like cherry blossoms flying all over the sky, blooming beautiful pink cheeks. The long dress in pink is smooth and shiny, making her curvaceous and delicate body, wonderful and beautiful. Her pink lotus-like skin, white as clotted fat, white jade-like pink neck, jet-black hair scattered like clouds, oval face, slender willow eyebrows are picturesque, like butterfly wings spread left and right, jade nose and red lips, a pair of black and white bright eyes, looking forward to shining. In such a solemn and solemn scene, she was like an elf who did not understand the world, smiling happily, revealing her braided teeth, and two deep smiles on both sides of her mouth, which made people confused. However, what makes people most excited is not her unearthly and beautiful appearance, but that inner temperament, delicate and innocent, without any wit, pure and kind like an angel.

In the two seats on the left, one sat a young man, who looked a little thin, with a pair of thick eyebrows that flew obliquely into the sideburns, like two inverted knives! He was as steady as a rock, calm and silent, but his right hand held a sword tightly in his hand, the scabbard was simple and unpretentious, and it looked extremely ordinary, but he held it as if it were life, and he did not say a word. In the other seat, there was nothingness.

At this moment, in the silent hall, the cold servants and maids kept bringing wine, food, melons and fruits and snacks, and no one said much, as if they were a puppet with lost consciousness.

Suddenly, Zhao Tianyue, who was peaceful and recuperating, opened his eyes slightly, two sharp rays of light burst out, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Lan'er, you are late, you should be punished!"

The breeze blew, and a ghostly figure appeared in the silent hall, dressed in a white robe and wearing a strange mask, revealing only the extremely smooth hair, gently inserted a hosta;

Zhao Tianyue's eyes were slightly stunned, his tall and straight figure stood up, and laughed: "Lan'er, this king has introduced you to a few distinguished guests from afar. His gaze gently looked at the ponytail man, and he said in a deep voice, "This is Jiichiro Koizumi from Fuso Country, he is the number one master in Fuso Country with extremely high sword skills, and the other is his sister Koizumi Tamadako, who is good at illusion and ninjutsu." The pony-tailed man, Ichiro Koizumi and Tamadako Koizumi, stood up one after another and bowed deeply to the masked man very politely.

Zhao Tianyue continued: "This one is from Goryeo, his name is Kim Hae-jin, he is a disciple of the Goryeo national hand 'Talker Scholar', and he is also the first master of the young generation of Goryeo. ”

Jin Haizhen raised his eyebrows proudly and nodded coldly at the masked man.

The masked man's lips drew an arc, his eyes showed a contemptuous smile, and his voice was hoarse and strange: "Emperor Heilan." ”

When the three of them saw that Emperor Koizumi was so rude to them, their faces changed slightly, and their expressions were the same, the pony-tailed man Koizumi Jijiro was still cold, sitting quietly and cross-legged, and drinking slowly with his right hand; Koizumi Yusadako looked at Emperor Koizumi with a strange smile on her face, her eyes were full of curiosity; only Jin Haizhen snorted lightly, slightly dissatisfied.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Tianyue's mouth, and he still smiled: "Lan'er, you are the landlord of Jiangnan, you should give everyone a drink! Don't let others laugh at Zhao Guo for not understanding etiquette?"

Jijiro Koizumi's voice was steady, but he didn't have the slightest smile: "Emperor Heilan, I heard that the Great Zhao Kingdom is going to hold a martial arts conference, and the masters of the Central Plains are gathered together, I wonder if Koizumi can participate?"

Emperor Heilan's cold voice came: "Just because you, a nasty person from a barren country, dare to call yourself a master, wouldn't you laugh off the big teeth of people in the martial arts?"

Jijiro Koizumi did not mean any life in his words, and still said sincerely: "Koizumi traveled all over Fuso, meeting friends with a sword, and did not meet a defeat, it is a pity! Therefore, he went to Zhao Guo from afar to seek defeat, and he has heard for a long time that the masters of Zhao Guo are like clouds, and he has also challenged several masters many times, but unfortunately they are all defeated under Koizumi's knife, I don't know if there are any masters of Zhao State? The implication is ironic.

Emperor Heilan laughed wildly, and his expression was extremely presumptuous: "It's really laughing to death, Mr. Koizumi is so sure that all the so-called masters you meet? Do you think that the masters in this world can be met casually? Do you think that the masters in the world are all arbitrarily challenged by others? It's just that horses don't know how long their faces are, and people don't know how thick the sky is?"

Koizumi Jijiro's face finally changed, Huo Ran stood up, and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Lan's words are wrong, isn't the eight major sects of your country among the masters?

Emperor Heilan laughed, slapped the table with his right hand and said: "Mr. Koizumi, do you really think that you are a master? Don't you know that the martial arts in the world are divided into third-class factions, and they are also divided into three sects and nine streams, and even if they are famous factions, there are internal and external divisions? Do you think that if you come to challenge, those masters will duel with you? Yilan wants to come, but I am afraid that those big factions will just send a few disciples from the outer sect to fool you, and you are still here to be complacent, it is really shameless?"

"Lan'er, don't be presumptuous!" Zhao Tianyue scolded.

Emperor Heilan sneered unhappily: "Who told him to look down on people with dog eyes and not take the Central Plains martial arts in his eyes? What kind of number one master are you in the small country of Fusang, but when you go to the Central Plains, you are only considered to be the last class?"

"Lan'er, don't underestimate Mr. Koizumi's Ihochi knife technique, especially the knife drawing method, which can be called a must. The Central Plains martial arts are respected for swordsmanship, and the highest swordsmanship is the 'Kongming Sword Technique' of Shu Mountain, the 'Tianji Sword Technique' of Tianji Mountain Villa, the 'Phantom Mirage Sword Technique' of Golden City, the 'Tenglong Sword Technique' of Shenjian Villa, and the 'Xuanyin Sword Technique' of the Sword God, so there are not many people who are respected in terms of sword skills?" Zhao Tianyue reprimanded, and talked about the swordsmanship of various factions of the martial arts.

Jin Haizhen's eyes lit up, his body was eager to try, his face turned red, and his right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword: "May I ask the general, can Jin Haizhen fight with them?" Haizhen learned swords at the age of three, and has been practicing the Seven Absolute Swords for 30 years, and this time he also hopes to compete with the Central Plains swordsmanship masters?"

Emperor Heilan sneered: "I'm afraid that Brother Jin will be angry if you say something that you don't like, your so-called Seven Absolute Swords are nothing more than that, and it is more than enough to deal with those third-rate characters, if you have the courage to challenge the top masters, then it is really a birthday star hanging, and you are impatient?"

"You ......" Jin Haizhen's round eyes glared at Emperor Heilan, so angry that he couldn't speak.

Emperor Lan sneered: "Lan is reminding you in the face of the prince, don't know what to do? Didn't your master tell you? Thirty years ago, 'Talking about hand calligraphy' thought that Lao Tzu was the best in the world, and once traveled east to the Central Plains to challenge the people in the martial arts, which made people panic, annoyed the 'Divine Sword Villa' Master Xie, and drove him back to Goryeo with one move? You must know that at that time, Master Xie had not yet entered the realm of the grandmaster, and Shushan hated the predecessors, The Golden City Lord Luo City Lord is a person who has transformed into a realm, and with your little arms and legs, you still dare to be a hero in front of them, aren't you looking for death?" Emperor Heilan's tone was scathing and sarcastic, and Jin Haizhen's face turned blue and white, and he almost vomited blood.

Koizumi Yusadako looked at Emperor Lan with a smile: "Mr. Lan, you are also a master!" His face was full of smiles, but his eyes were so innocent that people did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction.

Emperor Lan sighed and said: "Lan is not talented, martial arts are at the end, this Central Plains Conference is just an errand corner, so dare to go to the stage to die, I don't think my life is long?"

Zhao Tianyue laughed loudly: "Lan'er, these are all distinguished guests, don't offend people too much! This king was ordered by the emperor to supervise the martial arts conference and prevent the rebellion of the people, so Lan'er should bother with everything?"

Emperor Heilan said lightly: "Everything is naturally decided by the prince?" He pouted and smiled, "Look, am I running errands?"

Jin Haizhen stood up unconvinced, gently tapped the scabbard with his right hand and asked, "General, when the martial arts conference is held, can Haizhen come and see it in person?"

Zhao Tianyue nodded, and said kindly: "At the time of the martial arts conference, Mr. Koizumi and Mr. Haizhen can go with me, but I just hope that you will not compete on the stage at will, so as not to cause chaos?"

Koizumi Jijiro smiled disapprerovingly, and he didn't know what the hell was going on in his heart, Koizumi Yusadako's innocent eyes kept staring at Emperor Heilan, and he muttered in his heart: "This demon girl, what does she want to do?" He doesn't believe that Koizumi Yusadako is really an innocent girl, and he also knows a little about some customs and habits of Fusang Country? The women of Fusang Country have no status at all, they are simply tools of Fusang country men, or they are tools for inheritance. Koizumi Yusadako looks so beautiful, if she didn't have a little scheming, I'm afraid that she would have already become a **, even if she has a brother who is the so-called first master, I'm afraid that life will not be easy.

Everyone stopped talking about martial arts, and raised their glasses like friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, as if they had forgotten the unpleasant things that had just happened.

Koizumi Jijiro seems to like Zhao Guo's fine wine very much, he drinks the most, but the wine is the worst, and after a while, he gets drunk into the mud, and he doesn't know what to say when he talks about it? Koizumi Yusadako hurriedly helped his brother to retreat, only Jin Haizhen drank shallowly, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he also got drunk and retreated after a pot of wine was in his stomach.

Looking at their distant figures, Emperor Heilan sneered: "Tianyue, where did you find some wine bags and rice bags, and you are not afraid of losing your worth? Now that the martial arts conference is imminent, although you are a supervising envoy, you can't take it lightly, let's let them all come back! I believe that with them by your side, except for the grandmaster seniors, no one dares to be presumptuous?"

Zhao Tianyue was silent for a moment and nodded: "That's fine, let the Phantom and Xue Xiao come!"

Emperor Heilan persuaded with concern: "Tianyue, it doesn't seem to be enough, let's call 'Xuanyan', 'Xuanyue', and 'Xuanchen' too!"

Shaking his head, Zhao Tianyue said: "It's enough to have Phantom and Snow Ray, isn't there still Leng Yu, Changqing and you?"

Emperor Heilan sighed softly, stopped talking, and looked at Zhao Tianyue coldly, Zhao Tianyue smiled and said, "Lan'er, do you have anything else to say?"

Emperor Heilan said angrily: "Tianyue, Shen Yuan has an unruly personality, extremely arrogant, and he is also a lawless killing star, you shouldn't provoke him? You should know very well in your heart that if he hadn't cared about you being the emperor's own brother or the general of the Megatron Border Pass, he would have killed you a long time ago?"

Zhao Tianyue's heart shook slightly, and his expression was a little sad: "Why does this king want to provoke him, but it's just ...... It's just that emotional things always make people dizzy, and they don't care about the consequences for a while?"

Emperor Heilan's eyes widened: "Tianyue, don't you want to tell me that you are really in love with him?"

Zhao Tianyue said dejectedly: "Lan'er, you should know in your heart that this king has never taken his feelings to heart, and he has never loved a person, he is in the flowers, I don't know how many southern beauties and northern rouge have been tasted, but he has never been moved? I remember that he provoked me first, and I swore I wanted to kill him, but ...... It was that glance, he fell in front of me in embarrassment, looking at me with those hateful eyes, and I was stupid. At that time, I just wanted to keep him by my side and try my best to make him submit to me, so I desperately asked for him, and I fell deeper and deeper...... Hehe, that guy is really terrible, he was so badly injured, he was able to escape, and the iron cavalry around me was killed by him alone. At that time, I knew that I might as well give up! I didn't dare to ask for it anymore, but the will of heaven asked the imperial brother to send me to Jiangnan, and I met him again, and my heart became active again, so I wanted to fight again and do everything I could to get him?" He raised his head, his eyes were red, and he closed his eyes in pain, "Xiao Yuan would rather die than be with me, and he almost killed me!"

"Tianyue ......" Emperor Heilan stretched out his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Don't be sad, Shen Yuan is a person who is above the top, arrogant and conceited, he has never surrendered to others, and he hates others to threaten him the most, you have ordered his death hole this time, otherwise it would not have caused him to react so much." ”

"What Lan'er said is reasonable, it's my extravagant hope! This martial arts conference has both tolerance and loss, do you want to help me think about it? There are ...... The overall situation is important, the brothers and sisters of Jijiro Koizumi and Jin Haizhen still have value for me, you still don't offend them and put me in a dilemma?"

Emperor Heilan said dissatisfiedly: "Tianyue, what will be the role of these two wine bags and rice bags?"

Zhao Tianyue said with a smile: "Lan'er only knows one thing, but doesn't know the other. That Koizumi Jijiro is a master of the younger generation of Fuso country, and he is still somewhat famous in his country, but in fact, the most valuable is his sister Koizumi Tamadako. ”

"This is strange, isn't the woman of Fusang Country without status, and what value does she have?"

"This is not true, Koizumi Yusadako is very valuable, her fiancé is the heir of Fuso Kingdom, and he is the future emperor; that Jin Haizhen has more origins, he is the youngest son of the monarch of Goryeo, and he is still the most favored one, but he advocates martial arts, worships under the door of the 'Talking Scholar', and his personality is naturally a little arrogant and rude, you don't want to be like him. Wouldn't it be easy for him to seize the throne if he had the support of Fuso and Goryeo?"

Emperor Heilan said excitedly: "Although Tianyue can rest assured, as long as they don't come to provoke me, Lan'er won't provoke them? It's not too early, I'll go first!"

Zhao Tianyue smiled and said: "This time, because this king is still missing, I really don't want to go, you have a good rest for a few days, and the matter of the martial arts conference will be talked about in a few days." ”

Emperor Heilan's cold gaze flickered, a wicked smile hung on his lips, and his figure flashed away like a ghost.

Ji Changqing's voice came softly: "Lord Wang, in recent years, Emperor Heilan has made a big move?"

Zhao Tianyue said indifferently: "As long as he can do things for this king, don't worry about him if he doesn't go out of line, alas, I hope he will do it himself, but don't spoil the relationship between us." ”

The figure of Emperor Heilan shuttled through the garden like a ghost, with a faint coldness on his lips, and left the 'Plum Garden' in an instant......, looked back at the hall in the distance, and muttered: "I'm afraid that in your heart, there will be a day to guard against me?" I don't know if Shen Yuan will make a move......? Hmph, it's a big deal that the fish dies and the net is broken!"

The cold Xuanyue hung high in the air, silently looking at the vast land, and I don't know how many people could not sleep in this silent night.
