The sky was half clear, and the streets of Longcheng were still deserted. People who used to buy breakfast or go to work early in the morning were hiding in their homes. Soldiers were coming and going on the street, patrolling everywhere, and even the Jianghu people who were hiding did not dare to show their faces. Hundreds of thousands of people from the Black and White Alliance outside Longcheng also retreated three miles to settle in the woods and wait for new instructions.
And Luofan returned to the palace, thought for half an hour, wrote down dozens of tips, and sent them out to Dragon City in more than a dozen batches of masters.
Xue Yang knocked on the door and came over, saying: "Luofan, Sima Yue and the others are all here, it's up to you to make arrangements. Without you, I might not be able to suppress them."
Luo Fan stood up and said with a smile: "My lord is joking, but you don't want to be in the limelight. I have three tips here for you. If King Tiandu dies early, I will open the first one. If Longcheng is lost, then Then open the second copy. If the armies of the kings arrive in the city, open the third copy. There will be a solution on it. In addition, in the name of your lord, I wrote troop deployment orders to Li Chunjin, Li Chaoren, Zhang Feiling and Xiao Wang Liao Zhihua respectively. They will cooperate with you. Also, there are countless spies from Sima Yue in Dragon City. You need reliable people to contact both inside and outside Dragon City. I will leave Black Rakshasa, Gui Xiang and fifteen secret guards behind. You can use them to communicate with the world. As for junior sister Luo Ya, she can accept the news from spies inside and outside Dragon City and can help you understand the situation in time. "
"Well, thank you for your help. I didn't expect that you are not only proficient in the world of martial arts, but also have the ability to predict the situation. I am ashamed of myself. If it weren't for you, this Dragon City would have fallen into the hands of Sima Yue last night." Xue Yang.
"Haha, the situation is difficult, so extreme measures should be used. Leave these dangerous matters to me. It's time for me to go meet that Lord Sima."
In the Xihua Hall, Sima Yue and the eighteen people from the outer courtyard all gathered in the hall and were restless. After receiving the order from King Tiandu in the morning, they were all worried and had to come to the palace in fear of the imperial army.
"Master Sima, do you think this Luofan will not be really cruel? Although Xue Yang and the others are afraid of our relationship with the kings, that Luofan is a man who thrives on cold food. If he really does it, we will die unjustly. Na!" Yin Shaocheng shook his head, put his hands in his sleeves, and couldn't help asking Sima Yue eight hundred times.
"Hey, why isn't your brother a waste? If you really want to die, I will definitely die before I die. What are you afraid of!" Sima Yue was also impatient when asked, so she couldn't help but snorted at him.
"You are a brave man who has been trained on the battlefield. You are not as weak as me. If we really want to fight, I don't have the strength to run. Hey, this grade of Tianqing is really hard to be. Ever since I became one, I have been doing well. I can't even live a good life." Yin Shaocheng said with aggrieved face.
"Haha, Brother Yin, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Even if you die, we will be with you. By the way, how is your brother Yin Shaozheng? Is his brain feeling better? Can he go to the ground now? When he gets better, you'd better put this Give him the position of Tianbao Si Tianqing, so you don't have to worry about it all day long. If you want to be richer than ten thousand people, you need to be more responsible than ten thousand people." Qiao Bafang came over and took the photo He patted Yin Shaocheng on the shoulder and smiled.
"Yes, Mr. Qiao's words make sense." Yin Shaocheng agreed vaguely on his face, but a trace of evil flashed in his eyes. Since Yin Shaozheng suffered a stroke, he suddenly became the head of the Yin family and enjoyed the glory of being the master of the family. The Yin family is such a rich family. Even though the treasury was stolen by Luofan, the family property is still spread all over the world. The daily inventory of money accounts sent from below is ten times more lively than the treasury of King Tiandu. In this way, when he became the head of the family, the people below him naturally tried their best to please him, so naturally they were reluctant to give up the position of the head of the family.
Therefore, Yin Shaocheng privately instructed his family doctors to deliberately not treat Yin Shaozheng, and even to make him sick for several more years. Now that he heard Qiao Bafang's words, Yin Shaocheng suddenly felt murderous. He thought to himself, if he just put it off like this, if Yin Shaozheng recovered from his illness that day, then he would be in vain. Those who achieve great things will not leave any future troubles, so it is better to kill Yin Shaozheng as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Yin Shaocheng's eyes became filled with the viciousness of killing his brother. And this hint of viciousness was clearly seen by Kou Ling. Kou Ling couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth, thinking: Haha, we are a family after all. It seems that Yin Shaozheng's life is coming to an end. But it's okay, although Yin Shaozheng is timid, he has a deceit in his heart and is not easy to fool. But this Yin Shaocheng is easier to handle.
Just when everyone was worried and wondering how Luofan would deal with them. The sound of the uniform footsteps of the golden armored soldiers was heard outside the hall, and soon thousands of forbidden troops surrounded the entire hall. Then many people took out iron chain templates and sealed all the windows of Xihua Hall.
"What are they going to do? What are they going to do? Do they want to trap us here?" When they saw this, all the high-ranking officials in Kou Ling were shocked and suspicious. They all ran to the door and looked around like frightened deer.
When I was young, I saw Xue Yang and Luo Fan coming to the gate of the capital with a group of guards in gold armor.
Seeing Xue Yang and others appear, Kou Ling took the lead and frowned: "Xue Xiang, what are you doing? Are you still trying to put me under house arrest?"
Xue Yang said: "My lords, please do not be anxious, because King Tiandu suddenly became seriously ill, and rebels attacked Longcheng last night. In order to protect your safety, and also to pray for King Tiandu, I specially invite you to come to the palace to accompany you. The specific reason is, Let Luofan explain it to everyone."
Luofan stepped forward and smiled: "Good morning, my lords. As a minister, I have to live with the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor. Now the King of Capital City is seriously ill. Fortunately, the gods are protecting him and his life is not serious. But he needs to be replenished with blood essence. The method of Qi can take seven days to heal. During these seven days, I, Luofan, will accompany the king of Tiandu all the way before his death, as long as the king's life is safe. According to the king's order, all ministers need to stay in the Xihua Palace, burn incense and pray to heaven every day , in order to pray for the safety of our king. Therefore, for these seven days, I will help you all to stay in this hall. Recently, Longcheng has not been peaceful, and it is unavoidable for villains to cause trouble, which is detrimental to all of you. The doors and windows of Xihua Palace have been locked, so that no one can No entry or exit is allowed. As for your family members, they are all guarded by the imperial guards, so nothing can go wrong."
"You want us to pray for King Tiandu? Then at least let us take a look at King Tiandu first. Who knows how King Tiandu is doing now, and whether this is an arrangement with ulterior motives by you who pretended to pass on the king's life." Qiao Bafang was unhappy and cold. hummed.
"Oh! You don't accept it? It seems that Qiao Tianqing is very concerned about the safety of my king. In this case, tell me, from today on, all the family members of Qiao Mansion will pray for the king together, and they are only allowed to eat one meal a day, one meal for each person We only give you two steamed buns and a bowl of water! Whoever dares to eat secretly will be disrespecting the King of Heaven, and the staff will be eighty." Luo Fan said with a smile.
"You! Why do you do this! I am Tianwu Si Tianqing, why do you give me orders? Even if I am guilty, I should be punished by King Tiandu himself! You are just a first- or third-level divine arrester, why? You can exceed your authority and assume your position!" Qiao Bafang said angrily.
"Oh, you have the guts. Then the order passed to me has been changed. Mr. Qiao is concerned about the safety of King Tiandu, so his residence has been changed to one steamed bun per person per day. Hey, if you want to call again, it will be changed to one steamed bun every two days. I Let's see if this dog that doesn't want to eat still has the strength to bark!" Luo Fan chuckled.
"You!" Qiao Bafang was so angry that he pointed at Luo Fan and his face was red, but he didn't dare to speak.
"Hey, Lao Qiao, this is a lunatic. If you compete with him, you are not just looking for trouble! Let's bear with him for a few days." Kou Ling hurriedly pulled Qiao Bafang back and consoled him.
"For these seven days, everyone can stay at ease. After seven days, everyone can naturally go home. However, the ugliness is ahead. During these seven days, if anyone is restless and wants to leave this Xihua Palace, or wants to make a If you are a monster, don't blame me for being ruthless. Don't regret it when the time comes to confiscate your home and destroy your family. Isn't that right, Lord Sima?" Luo Fan.
Sima Yue said coldly: "Since we are praying for King Tiandu, we are naturally willing to do so. But the safety of King Tiandu has to be taken care of by Chief Jing Lei."
"That's natural. Then, gentlemen, please go into the palace to pray. Someone will lock the door with an iron chain." Luofan said.
After sealing off all sides of Xihua Hall, Luo Fan went to Dongtai Hall and pretended to be in seclusion to treat Li Benxin. In fact, Li Benxin sneaked out of the palace through the secret escape route of Donghua Palace and went to Wushan to seek the elixir of youthfulness and rejuvenation.
After leaving the palace, Luofan Pegasus came to the Songhe Bridge five miles below the foot of Niutou Mountain to wait. The sky is bright, beside the pinewood bridge, the wide water and the river are calm. Luo Fan turned over and dismounted, leaned on the railing to look at the water, and sighed: "The water cannot wave in winter, and the fish are lazy and sleep on the caterpillar fungus. The turtles are hiding in the mud, and the birds are in the sky. Hey, this is a good place to come for an outing without anything to do." "
"Oh, I'm reading sour poems again. I'm in a good mood. It seems like nothing is difficult for you." Not far away, Yao Shiba flew over and said.
"Sister, you're here. Look, on this winter day, there are still fish at the bottom of the water?" Luo Fan said with a smile.
"Well, it's not easy to find fish in the lake these days. In winter, the poor can't afford to eat, so they can catch some from the water to satisfy their hunger. Let's go, I'll accompany you to Wushan. But first, although I will help you this time , but you don’t dare to confront the master. I can help you avoid the formation traps everywhere in Wushan and lead you into the mountain gate. As for asking for elixirs, you have to rely on yourself and don’t involve me." Yao Shiba. .
"That's very good. Thank you for your help, sister." Luo Fan.
"One more thing, don't call me sister. You and I are neither relatives nor friends. Such intimacy makes people feel uncomfortable. Just call me Yao Shiba, or Miss Yao Shiba." Yao Shiba said.
"But this title is not very nice. Sister, she has outstanding character and extraordinary appearance. She should be called something nicer. Yao is a noble person and has a strange personality. Eighteen is a double nine, so it is not easy to choose a name! Otherwise, I will give it to you. Please choose a word for my sister. The first time I met my sister, whose pseudonym was Hua Yuluo, I felt that my sister was extraordinary and extraordinary, just like the sun falling into the world, suddenly opening up the light, stunning and peerless. In this case, we also chose a word for flower as the title. , how about Hua Qingxian?"
"No! The name you chose is just as useless as the poem you recited. Call me Hua Xiangyi, this is my real name. However, I cannot mention it to outsiders. Even my master doesn't know my real name. "Yao Shiba said with a smile.
"Hua Xiangyi, what a good name. It seems that my sister had a good family background before she became an orphan. However, don't worry about the past, the future will be more exciting. Let's go, Sister Hua, get on the horse!" Luo Fan said with a smile.
"Get on the horse? There is only one horse, how can two people ride it?" Hua Xiangyi rolled his eyes.
"I didn't expect that my sister didn't prepare a horse. I guess there must have been too many people from the rivers and lakes from Niutoushan, and all the nearby horses were bought up. My sister rides my horse, and I can perform Qinggong faster. I am ten miles south. Buy the horses at the outer inn and wait for your sister to arrive." After saying that, Luo Fan handed the whip to Hua Yuluo and flew away.
Seeing Luofan leave, Hua Xiangyi sighed: "Alas! We are on the road of no return after all. We only have one life, so why not use it for something worthwhile? You will have no regrets in this life and death!"
