He turned to look at Senior Brother and said, "This is the capital. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The words are very simple, and the meaning is very clear: this is not the Western Jin Dynasty, nor is it the lead Hua Temple, but the capital of Chaoyang, and it is the territory of your Dushan Sect, and the sect master of the Demon Sect comes and leaves at will, this is a provocation to the Dushan Sect, so at least the Dushan Sect should give an explanation at this time.

The senior brother said: "Over the years, that person has been acting against General Ximen Wang, and he has already given enough face to the Mountain Sect, and I didn't expect him to come out of the mountain this time." ”

Ye Tianming looked at the Qinghe County worship who had fallen in the snow, and suddenly raised his hand to the thin piece of snow around his neck, and said, "He killed you in the capital, Mr. Big doesn't want to enforce the law on behalf of the Mountain Sect." ”

The senior brother sighed and said: "Dushan Sect does pay attention to the law first, but the law depends on the ability of the executor after all, and the law can only bind those who we Chaoyang people have the ability to restrain it. ”

Ye Tianming was very puzzled, according to his thoughts, even if Xuan Wei had not asked about the world for many years, what a big event it was to reappear in the world, was this not enough to alarm Xuan Wei?

No one spoke anymore, or didn't know what to say, and the one who mysteriously appeared and disappeared made the three most amazing people of the Daomen Buddha Sect of the Dushan Sect subconsciously silent.

As the morning light grew, the snow mist particles in the winter forest slowly flew in the light, still like a pair of cicada wings with a huge area, but they were much lighter than when they looked at it before.

Ye Tianming looked at the snow and mist in the morning light, looked at the pair of cicada wings, and suddenly his expression changed slightly.

Last night, he and his senior brother had been watching Yanming Lake on the city wall, but they never noticed the movement in the winter forest, you must know that it was not an ordinary person in the winter forest, but a strong man who was unhindered by the Divine Recitation, how did that person do it?

The Demon Sect is not tolerated by the cultivation of the righteous path, because the Demon Dao cultivation vainly tries to replace the rules of heaven, absorb and devour the heaven and earth vitality in nature, and build a new world in the body.

Could it be that the Demon Sect Sect Master had already surpassed this level, and with a flick of the thin and transparent cicada wings, he could cover the brilliance of the sky and have a world of his own in nature?

In this way, it can be shown that the movement in the winter forest by the lake can hide from the eyes of him and Mr. Dushan Zongda, and can make the people in the surrounding lake cliffs completely unnoticed.

It's so powerful!

Thinking of this, Ye Tianming's face turned slightly pale, and then he felt so puzzled, he always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, silently perceiving the remaining breath in the snow forest, and fell into silence.

Just when Ye Tianming was silent, the senior brother had a conversation with Shen Nian, Shen Nian was a mute, so the conversation was naturally one-sided, more like some kind of gentle and calm but unquestionable declaration, no one knew the specific content of this conversation, but it always had various relationships with Xu Chen.

Under the snow bridge, the soldiers of the Yulin Army were exhausted to the extreme, and it would not make them too sad to stay awake all night, but being blocked by one person all night, listening to the sound of the distant lake and not being able to participate in the battle, made them feel humiliated, so they were easily tired.

Xu Shi walked on the snow bridge, turned around in front of the second senior brother, held on to the snow-covered railing, looked at the icy river under the bridge, and said, "Am I really old?"

The second senior brother slowly stood up, gently and meticulously dusted off every piece of snow on his body, ensuring that there were no wrinkles on his hospital uniform, and then said, "You are already old. ”

Xu Shi didn't get angry, and said indifferently: "Dushan Sect is really a place that can create miracles, Xu Chen has done things that no one can imagine, but do you think this is really fair?"

The second senior brother walked up to him and looked under the bridge.

A sudden wind blew overnight, and the snow on the ice was piled up on both sides, and the ice could faintly reflect the figures of people and others, and he adjusted the position of the high crown above his head to the shadow on the ice, and after confirming that there was not the slightest deviation, he nodded with satisfaction, and said without question: "I do things fairest." ”

The wrinkles on Xu Shi's face were extremely deep, and he was blown by the morning breeze, and his voice was hoarse and said: "Act in the style of an ancient gentleman, no one in the whole world dares to doubt you, but last night's battle in Donghu, Xu Chen relied on his little maid to complete a fatal blow to Ximen Wang, with two strikes and one, what is fairness?"

The second senior brother said: "My junior brother is a talisman master, in the rules of the cultivation world, when challenging a duel, of course you can have a close attendant, there is no problem with this matter." ”

Xu Shi thought about the great light between the cliffs of Yanming Lake last night, and thought of the thunderous sound of knives intersecting on the lake, frowned and said: "Where is Xu Chen a simple talisman master, and the maid girl is the only heir of the great priest of light, and where is the close attendant?"

The second senior brother said: "A talisman master is a talisman master. Even if the little junior brother is a master of martial arts, if he says that he is a master of the talisman, then he is a master of the talisman, as for the maid, even if she becomes the great priest of light in the Western Jin Dynasty in the future, she can be a close attendant if she wants to be the close attendant of the little junior brother. ”

Xu Shi's face was slightly gloomy and said, "It turns out that I will also force my arguments." ”

"What I see most in the world is the number of truths and etiquettes, since this is the case, I naturally have to be good at using all kinds of means to make the truth stand on my side. ”

The second senior brother said indifferently: "At the beginning, the Dao Shi Monk of the Yuelun Country had a close attendant warrior monk, it was the challenge document issued by your military department, and it was the address information provided by your military department, at that time, you didn't say it was unfair, so you should never say it, otherwise Dushan Sect wouldn't mind asking the military for advice on what was fair." ”

After saying this, he turned and walked towards the other side of the snow bridge, with a high crown and hat on his head, reflected by the morning light in an extremely long shadow, as if he was about to sink deep into the deep snow on the bridge deck.

Xu Shi looked at his disappearing back and was silent.

The man who sat cross-legged on the snow bridge was gone, and the snow bridge was opened, and day and night he did not look at the scenery on the snow bridge, but only turned himself into a landscape painting, on which no one dared to put a pen.

An officer walked up behind Xu Shi and whispered something.

Xu Shi said in a hoarse voice: "General Ximen Wang's meritorious service to the country, naturally he must be restrained, as for the future, there are naturally arrangements in the palace, and the military department is ready." ”

At this time, in the palace, the atmosphere was extremely depressing and tense, and there were no eunuchs and palace maids around the Snow Palace, so only a very few people could hear the cry of the queen's mother, and these very few people were also people who knew the brother-sister relationship between the queen and Ximen Wang in addition to the Dushan Sect.

In the Princess's Palace, not far from the palace, it was a completely different situation, after the Taoist with a butter paper umbrella under his arm reported his departure, an indescribable atmosphere of celebration mixed with a little shock and dismay, began to permeate the terrace of the rain corridor.

The princess stroked her slightly undulating chest, looked at the tea in front of her, and used great will to calm herself down, Xu Chen actually really defeated Ximen Wang! The great benefit of this incident is that she is calm as she also feels a little dizzy, and Xu Chen's still alive also makes her suddenly relaxed.

The crown prince sat beside her, his expression was a little confused, of course he knew that it was a good thing for him that Ximen Wang was killed, but he couldn't understand why his sister and the strategists were so ecstatic, the queen had no support in the army, could he be sure of everything? He had not slept all night, and he just wanted to go to sleep at this time.

The princess waved the counsellors back, but did not let him go.

There was silence in the room.

She looked at her beloved brother, her clear eyes gradually moistened, and her voice trembled slightly: "After today, I will be on the throne of the rising sun in the future...... It's your brother. ”

Listening to the princess's words, the prince was shocked, as a prince, and not a person who does not learn and does not know how much he can do, he naturally knows how much benefit Ximenwang's death will bring to him, but he still can't understand why his sister is so sure that the throne is his own at this time.

The princess looked at her younger brother with a confused face, thinking that since the death of her mother, the two sisters and brothers had depended on each other, thinking about the efforts and sacrifices she had made for her brother's throne over the years, she couldn't help but have mixed feelings, and said: "Xu Chen is a student of the Blue Kite Pavilion of the Dushan Sect, Ximen Wang died in his hands, can that woman still be close to the Dushan Sect? No matter how hypocritical she is, it is impossible for the Dushan Sect to lean towards her anymore, this invisible ravine appears between the Dushan Sect and her, so how can her son be the emperor?"

The crown prince finally came to his senses, yes, if it weren't for the support of the Dushan Sect, even if the father and emperor doted on that little rabbit cub again, he was afraid that he would not dare to hand over the empire to the queen easily.

As soon as he thought of this, the young prince's breathing was a little heavier, his fists were clenched tightly, his eyes were full of excitement, and even brought some hideous looks.

The prince remembered another piece of Chun news that He Mingchi had notified him before, and said with a little distress: "The three worshippers of Qinghe County died in the capital, and I don't know how the people over there will react. ”

The princess frowned, and also felt that this matter was a little troublesome, over the years, the surname of Qinghe County has given her a lot of financial support, she can relatively easily collect those courtiers in the court, and there is also the help of Qinghe County behind the scenes, but now the ancestor of the other party died violently in the capital, I don't know if it will have any impact.

The house on the shore of Yanming Lake suffered extremely serious damage in the battle last night, the beams were broken, the ground was full of wreckage, and it was in dilapidation everywhere, only the remote courtyard was relatively well preserved.

Xu Chen and the maid returned to the courtyard, bathed and dressed under the care of Pan An and Ye Yao, ate some food at will and began to rest, and then fell asleep.

The security in the alleys of the lake has been lifted, and there is no more control except that the officials of the capital city government maintain order outside the mansion and prohibit citizens from coming to see the excitement.

Under the order of Qi Siye, the gang rushed to the shore of Yanming Lake as quickly as possible and began to clean up and renovate the house, but the damage to the house was too serious, and it was obviously not something that could be done in two or three days.

The maid stewards who were dismissed by Xu Chen before the war also returned to the mansion one after another, looking at the mess all over the place, everyone couldn't help but be a little frightened, and some even wanted to leave, but they were in the bachelor's mansion for ten years, and when Zeng Jing and his wife went to see their daughter, everyone became honest.

Now that there are subordinates to take care of them, Pan An and Ye Yao returned to the Dushan Sect, and now the capital is not very peaceful, especially the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism are walking in the world, so they need to be more cautious.

In the evening, the courtyard was quiet, and the sound of cleaning up rubble and ruins was faintly heard outside the courtyard, Ye Tong also returned to the house by the lake, she stood outside the threshold, looked at the master and servant who were sleeping on the bed for a long time, and then returned to her bedroom, just like a few months before.

In the battle of Winter Lake, Xu Chen and the maid were not too seriously injured, and it was not until the end that Ximen Wang used the iron spear that they began to bleed, but this seemingly victorious battle still caused great damage to their spirit and body.

After Xu Chen cast the talisman storm in the mansion, causing an explosion in the lotus field and shooting thirteen talisman arrows, the telekinesis in the sea of consciousness and even all the Haoran qi in his body were completely depleted.

And the maid finally shines on the cliff, which is almost a means of burning the essence of life, and the light in the small building is gone, leaving only darkness, and her body is as cold as ice.

Xu Chen was very worried about the recurrence of the deficiency and cold in her body, so he took her into his arms before going to bed, and warmed her body with his body temperature as he did back then, but his right arm was seriously injured because of the backlash of the talisman arrow, and he was not used to using his left arm, so he just hugged it gently, not tight but still very warm.

The maid woke up early the next morning, but she didn't know if it was because of the wind cold or because of other reasons, she had a terrible headache, she couldn't get up at all, Xu Chen was also extremely weak, and dragged her back to the quilt and pressed her, let the maids serve food and water, and did not allow her to get up to do housework.

Lying down for three days and three nights, Xu Chen's spirit gradually improved, he got up from the bed, entered the garden by the morning light, found the Pu knife, and began to wield and chop, only to hear the sound of the knife whistling, only to see the cold mangs bullying the snow.

Suddenly, he didn't know what to think of and stopped, standing in the middle of the winter garden, his body seemed a little stiff, and he looked at the Pu Dao in his hand and was silent for a long time.

In the past few years, as long as there are no emergencies, he will get up every morning and wash and eat under the service of the maids, and then he will start to practice, whether it is sword and archery or meditation, he has never slackened at all, because he is always facing the threat of death, and there is more pressure of revenge.

This morning seems to be the same as the ordinary mornings of the past.

But in fact, this morning was very different from the past - he was now a student of the Blue Kite Pavilion of the Dushan Sect, and there were few people in the world who could threaten his life, and ...... Simon Wang is dead.

Ximen Wangdu is already dead, so what are you doing with swordsmanship?

Xu Chen held the heavy Pu knife and stood silent for a long time, and then he continued to swing the blade, each knife was so simple and awe-inspiring, and every movement was so meticulous.

I don't understand why I still have to practice the sword, so don't think about it for the time being, as he once said to the senior brother, these things are all the worlds and all the scenery he used to be, and for a while, he can't get rid of the powerful power of habit at all, and he doesn't want to get rid of it.

In the next winter, the house by Yanming Lake was gradually repaired by the craftsmen recruited by the Fish and Dragon Gang, and naturally spent a lot of money, in order to fill in this account, Xu Chen had to use the dividends left by Chao Xiaoshu in the Xicheng Gambling House in advance, and advanced to the next year, Xu Chen and the maid did not go anywhere, and stayed in the house, maybe it was a little uncomfortable with the quiet and goalless life now, maybe the injuries left by the Battle of Donghu did not really heal, in short, the spirit of the two people was not very good, and they seemed a little embarrassed。

This kind of cowardice is not the mood of the literati beside the snow lake to sad spring and autumn sigh winter, but the extreme fatigue after extreme relaxation, of course, Xu Chen still maintained a very high vigilance, although the battle of the winter lake is a fair duel, but Ximen Wang is an imperial general after all, and there are countless colleagues and friends in the army and in the court, and now that he is dead in his hands, who knows if there will be any dark waves surging in the capital.

He admitted in front of the palace gate that he was not the son of Xuanwei General Lin Guangyuan, and His Majesty's amnesty decree naturally did not count, would the imperial court continue to investigate those murder cases? Nearly ten Chaoyang officials or generals died tragically in his hands, and the empire that pursued the law first would remain silent?

The next development of events was completely unexpected by Xu Chen.

Ximen Wang's funeral was solemnly but silently held, and the general of the town army sealed the mansion, and everyone in the general's mansion, including the two sons of Ximen Wang, embarked on the journey home.

No one mentioned those murders, including the toughest military in the past, and now it has become extremely calm, except for Zeng Jing and his wife, who have come twice, no one in the imperial court has even stepped into the mansion by Yanming Lake, as if there was no confrontation in front of the Emperor's Palace a few days ago, there was no tragic battle on the Winter Lake, as if nothing had happened in the capital.

On an early morning with light snow, Ye Tong also left Yanming Lake. Xu Chen and the maid held a big black umbrella to send her to the courtyard gate, he looked at the renovated courtyard gate, recalled the picture in that rainy day, and said with emotion: "I really didn't think that I would live with you for half a year." ”

Ye Tong said: "Such shallow and ugly puns are boring, it is better to say less in the future." ”

"I'll try to say something elegant and boring in the future. ”

Xu Chen said: "You were forced to flee the temple because you offended the great priest of the ruling, after leaving the capital, where can you find a piece of pure land in the world?" According to what you said that day, Ye Tianming will not care about the affairs of the temple at all, nor will he care about your life and death, aren't you worried that you will be killed by the temple?"

Ye Tong said: "Life and death are the most personal things, and they are also things that people themselves can't control at all, and you can't hope for others, even if it's a brother, but I want to control myself." ”

"You are a member of the Daomen, I don't have this kind of mystical argument with you. ”

Xu Chen replied with a smile, and then reached out to dust off the thin snow that fell on his shoulder, and with this action, the extremely shallow dimple on his face suddenly became clear.

Ye Tong looked at the shallow dimple on his face, looked at his smile, and thought silently, what kind of life would make a shameless and cold-blooded guy have such a beautiful smile?

"There's one thing I've never figured out. She said suddenly.

Xu Chen was slightly stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ye Tong said: "In terms of cultivation talent, I am obviously far superior to you, but the comprehension of that paper sword is far inferior to you, I saw the capital from the Western Jin Dynasty, and it took a lot of effort to finally realize eight or nine out of ten, but you only watched it for one night, and you were able to make the sword intent sword posture look like it." ”
