That night, Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling did not rush to find Dongming Sect and Shan Wanjing. Instead, after receiving an invitation sent by someone sent by Wang Shichong, they decided to go to Luoyang City first. We had a banquet at 'Manqingyuan'.
And the 'Manqing Courtyard' is the leading fireworks place in Luoyang. Tonight, here, the King of Changbai Mountain has taken over this place and sent out a hero's post for a banquet. Friends from all walks of life gathered in Luoyang. At the same time, it is said that the world-famous man The talented girl Shang Xiufang will also perform a dance, which is something you can't easily see in ordinary times?
Originally, according to the arrangement, two great masters from the Western Regions, Qu Ao and Fu Qian, were to have a wonderful duel at Manqing Yuan tonight. However, a few days ago, "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao committed suicide and was killed by that four great masters in the world. The little girl Annie, one of the masters, was slapped and disappeared in Luoshui. Therefore, the original duel had to be canceled.
However, in view of the theft of the 'He's Bi' that occurred at Jing Nian Monastery last night, people from all walks of life and powerful figures who want to get more information or have certain purposes are still the same as Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. I chose to accept the invitation and came here.
Here in Luoyang, Manqingyuan is very big. It is not just a brothel. Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it is a huge villa or garden?
Therefore, in view of the large number of people coming, and in order not to neglect the people from all walks of life and powerful figures, Wang Bo and Shangguan Long, the owner of the Manqing Courtyard, arranged the event in a huge quadrangle at the back of the Manqing Courtyard. Go to the 'Tingliu Pavilion'.
Most of the Tingli Pavilions are two stories high, with a unique architectural form, showing a "back"-shaped structure. The four pavilions are connected end to end, and are connected by corridors. There are dozens of VIP rooms, large and small, where you can enjoy the scenery. The terrace windows for watching and dancing all face the central direction with beautiful views of artificial lakes, rockeries, pavilions, gardens and stages, so that guests can have a clear view tonight from any wing. Dance to the world-famous talented girl Shang Xiufang.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who had invitations, naturally did not conceal their identities, nor did they make any disguises. Therefore, under the guidance of Zhike, they were quickly taken to a luxurious large room on the left side of the east side of Tinliu Pavilion. In the wing room, while the maids were bringing wine and food, beautiful and scantily clad dancers and singers soon came to the wing room to perform and serve.
"Hello!"
"Young Master Zhong!"
"We just did that big thing last night, and we still dare to come to such a crowded place tonight. Isn't it a bit bad?"
"just in case……"
After sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the wing room, looking at the beautiful singers singing and dancing, and then looking at the food and wine on the small table in front of him, Xu Ziling had no intention of using his chopsticks and enjoying it, but got it first. Kou Zhong asked this question in a low voice.
Xu Ziling, who is cautious by nature, is really worried. After all, the 'He's Bi' and the 'Yang Gong's Treasure' are both in their possession, and that Wang Bo even pointed out the invitation to the two brothers. Who knows what the other party has in mind. ?
If something goes wrong, or if someone gets some gossip and is waiting for them here, they will regret it.
"Shh!"
"Ziling, please keep your voice down!"
"Are you stupid?"
"It's precisely because of that that we have to come. Otherwise, wouldn't it be self-inflicted?"
"Hold on!"
"Don't expose the secret, just pretend that nothing happened. We just need to be on guard against those guys who want Mr. Yang's treasure."
After pretending to look around casually to make sure no one was eavesdropping, Kou Zhong calmly leaned into Xu Ziling's ear and retorted in the same low voice.
"ah!"
"makes sense……"
Hearing what Kou Zhong said, he pondered for a while, and finally Xu Ziling reluctantly nodded, feeling a little more relieved and acting a little more naturally.
"Do not worry!"
"Didn't we already agree when we came?"
"It's fine!"
After patting his brother on the shoulder, Kou Zhong said no more and started to drink and eat meat carelessly while watching the songs and dances of the singers.
Although they call themselves the 'Yangzhou Double Dragons', after all, the two brothers were just two pickpockets under a gangster in Yangzhou City two years ago. Since they became successful during this period, they have all been busy practicing, fighting and fighting. In the world, how could they have time like now to enjoy the kind of singing and dancing that only the big shots they envied could enjoy in the past?
Therefore, since the opportunity is rare now, and there is an enemy who takes the initiative to pay their bills, then of course he, Uncle Kou Zhongkou, will not be polite.
"well……"
"It would be great if Master also came..."
"!!"
"But don't!"
"Why?"
"you still need to ask?"
"You said to Yali that this is the 'Manqing Courtyard', or worse, it's a 'prostitute'. You still want to trick our master and her little family into coming to a place like this. Are you looking for death?"
"ah!"
"That's right, I forgot about it."
"Okay! Okay!"
"Hurry up, it's time to eat! It's time to drink! It's time to see!"
"Zi Ling, just relax. With Master and her in charge in Luoyang City, no one will dare to provoke us brothers!"
"Let's just wait and see the good show!"
After the two of them added up, Kou Zhong didn't want to say anything more. Instead, he sat down in his seat again and signaled Xu Ziling to imitate him and enjoy the singing, dancing and food first, and wait until he had eaten and drank enough. Only then did I have the strength to go to the theater.
In this way, as time went by, as the two of them were eating and drinking, the Tinliu Pavilion of Manqing Yuan gradually became lively, and people from all walks of life who had been invited by Wang Bo or not were also started to arrive one after another. The intellectuals led the guests to sit down in each of the private rooms. Ordinary people who didn't know it would probably think that there was some serious banquet being held here tonight. Bar?
soon!
After letting the singing and dancing singers leave their own rooms, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling walked to the terrace and saw at a glance that in the Tingliu Pavilion of Manqing Courtyard tonight, except for the owners Wang Bo and Shangguan In addition to the dragon, the visitors also included Li Shimin, the so-called "dragon among men" of the Li clan, and the people from the Tiance Mansion; Song Shidao and his entourage from the Song clan, whom they had only met once during the day, did not see Song Yuzhi; the original plan was to Fu Qian, a foreign master who wants to fight "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao to death; Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu, the Turks who have been in the limelight recently; Liu Heitai, who was under the command of Xia King Dou Jiande and had a good personal relationship with Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling, and "Pu" Monkey" Li Mi's confidant general, the "femme fatale" Shen Luoyan who is resourceful, good at using tricks, and absolutely ruthless when necessary!
Of course, those were only what Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling saw, and they didn't know who else was in some deliberately hidden rooms.
Immediately afterwards, the initiators of the banquet, Wang Bo and Shangguan Long, came on the stage and began to greet the invited guests, including Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. At the beginning, everyone started to discuss loudly what happened last night, that is, the theft of the Jing Nian Temple's "He's Bi" and the return of "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan.
"..."
(ω)
However, what Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling didn't know was that when they were chatting nonsense with those people in the Tinliu Pavilion of the Manqing Courtyard, on a hillside outside the Manqing Courtyard, a little girl was looking curious. He stared from a distance with his beautiful big eyes.
That's right!
The person who was secretly observing was none other than the terrible little master Anne Bennie that Koo Zhong and Xu Ziling were discussing just now!
Originally, Anne didn't plan to come, but when she found out that the two people took the invitation and went out secretly without asking her, which felt a little strange and strange, she naturally followed them from a distance. Came here.
Then, she discovered that it was not the kind of fun place she had imagined, but a group of weird uncles making noisy noises and discussing the boring place with the two people, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were just joining in the fun. What's the matter with 'Heshi Bi'?
However!
What is even more surprising is that at this time, about twenty steps away from Annie, facing the cool night breeze sent by Luoshui, there was a person standing on the branch of a big tree. On top, she was wearing a light blue gown with her sleeves fluttering in the wind. She looked as stunning as Fairy Chang'e descending to earth. She looked down at the clear stream, calm and composed. Her whole body was full of fairy spirit, and her back was full of fairy spirit. There is also an elegant ancient sword hanging on it, adding a bit of heroic spirit to the woman?
"..."
(′~`●)
Annie knew that there was someone behind her, and she also knew that the other person was staring at her, but she didn't mind. She just continued to look at the Manqing Courtyard with her lips pursed, not knowing what she was thinking.
"you……"
"Aren't you going?"
Finally, perhaps because she was not angry with Anne for ignoring her, or because she wanted Anne to notice her, the woman spoke out of nowhere, and asked in a soft, soft, oriole-like voice. .
"Don't go!"
(¬д¬.)
"People are just curious about what they are here for. It doesn't seem to be fun at all. Why would they go there?"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)Cut~~
First she gave the other party a roll of her eyes, and then Annie spoke disdainfully.
And from Anne's attitude and wording, it is not difficult to know that she must have known that someone was snooping and following her behind her, but she just didn't bother to pay attention to it for some reason?
"big sister……"
(^▽^)
"Who are you?"
o(*^*)o
Then, after looking at the Manqing Courtyard and confirming that there was nothing interesting there for the time being, Annie turned back, looked at the super-pretty young lady and asked cutely.
"..."
"Master Fei Xuan!"
"I've met Senior An!"
After staring at Annie's pretty face with some baby fat, which looked smart, cute, well-behaved, but no different from an ordinary little girl for a long time, that ecstatic woman, that master concubine Xuan Cai He suddenly spoke and bowed his hands far away on the branch.
"Concubine Shi Xuan?"
(.)
"Are you the hot Concubine Shixuan?"
(=^▽^=)
"I have heard Xu Ziling and others mention that you are indeed very beautiful!"
(^o^)
After blinking and staring at the other person up and down for a while, Annie nodded and answered with a smile.
"..."
"It's Concubine Shixuan, not Concubine Shixuan."
Although she was speechless, Shi Feixuan still had to continue correcting her voice after frowning.
"Aren't they all the same?"
(**;)
"oops!"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
"Don't mind it too much. Who asked you to choose a weird name that's so spicy and hard to remember?"
(O ^~^ O)
Annie thought for a moment, and then protested in a frantic manner.
That's right!
That's 'Shi Fei Xuan' or 'Shi Xuan Fei' or something like that. Anyway, the meaning is pretty much the same. She, Queen Anne, doesn't know those weird, unfamiliar and difficult-to-pronounce stranger names that always make people confused. What a waste of precious brain seeds to memorize so much!
(…)
(● ̄ ̄●)
(Tibbers said that he is also a little stupid and can't tell the difference. However, if a bad little master lets his uncle bear out, he will pounce on him, tear him off the branch and tear off his clothes. Then if he puts it into his mouth and tastes the thin skin and tender meat, Uncle Bear will definitely remember him.)
"..."
Shi Feixuan opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, as if she didn't want to conflict with Anne or waste time on such unimportant issues?
"What happened last night..."
"I saw that the figures of those two people, for some reason, don't look like the "Shadow Assassin" Yang Xuyan and the "Sentimental Young Master" Hou Xibai, but they look like the two apprentices of my predecessor? "
"Then Feixuan went back and thought about it for a day, and she always felt..."
"Perhaps only someone like Senior can steal the Heshi Jade from Master Kong quietly?"
"If it were "Evil King" Shi Zixuan, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it? "
Shi Feixuan paused for a moment, and then went straight to the point. She directly showed off her cards, but in a questioning and hesitant tone, she said her guess, which was infinitely close to the truth.
"..."
(~)
With a flat mouth, Annie did not answer because she was not familiar with the other party and did not want to deal with a guy who was aggressive when he came up.
"That 'He's Bi' is yours to take!"
"Right?"
Seeing that Annie didn't respond, Shi Feixuan asked again.
"People think..."
(ω)
"Sister, you have bad eyesight, you must have seen it wrong!"
(ψ`▽′)o
However, Anne still did not answer, but suddenly retorted like this.
"..."
"Senior is joking."
"We, the martial arts practitioners, can clearly see the people in Manqing Courtyard here. How could we not be able to tell who the person who was chased for half the night last night was?"
Shaking her head, Shi Fei Xuan smiled, saying that she was convinced that He Shibi's disappearance was closely related to Anne, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling.
Although she doesn't have definite evidence, that doesn't stop her from making some guesses and experiments, like now?
"Really?"
(Д≡д)!?
"That……"
(^o^)
"Look, there are gold coins in that hand?"
o((*^▽^*))o
Seeing that the other party dared to be so confident, Annie took out a gold coin and threw it into the sky without even thinking about it. Then when it fell in front of her, she quickly moved her hands and stretched out her clenched fists. Tell the other person to take a quick guess.
"..."
"left."
Naturally, that kind of despicable method could not deceive Shi Feixuan, so she pointed to Annie's left hand with determination.
"you sure?!"
!(;o)o
"Sure."
Shi Feixuan nodded affirmatively, indicating that she had read correctly and indeed saw Anne reaching out her left hand to grab the gold coin.
"ha!"
()°
"Look! The left hand is empty, it's here on the right hand!"
()
However, to Shi Feixuan's slight shock and surprise, Anne's open left hand was empty, and the gold coin was actually in her right hand?
"look!"
o(*︶*)o
"Everyone has said that you have bad eyesight and you can see things wrong at such a close distance, so you must have seen things wrong last night!"
()hey-hey!
Annie smiled proudly and said that the other party could misunderstand such a simple trick at such a close distance, so the statement that the other party identified the two masked men last night as being Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling must be even more untenable.
Anyway, she has proven with facts that the other person's eyes are indeed bad, so it is even more wrong to casually say such things to slander others!
(…)
(¬¬.)
(If he could speak, Tibbers would definitely say loudly: Someone cheated and passed the gold coins from his left hand to his right hand!)
"this……"
"Senior, good tricks!!"
Seeing that she clearly saw that she had grabbed the gold coin with her left hand, but the gold coin ended up in her right hand, Shi Feixuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, and had to shake her head and praise.
But she didn't think it was her bad eyesight, but attributed it to Anne's method that she couldn't understand.
"but……"
"Senior, can you tell me where He's Bi is?"
Then, of course, Shi Feixuan continued to ask.
"have no idea!"
o(^`)o
"It's not here anyway!"
()
As for whether it was with Kou Zhong or Xu Ziling, she didn't know.
"have no idea?"
"Senior didn't deny it, he just said that he didn't know his whereabouts... So, Feixuan's guess was right, it was indeed Senior who did it?"
Hearing Anne's answer, the concubine Xuan couldn't help but be startled, as if she didn't expect Anne to admit it so simply.
"Why?"
"Is it to make Kou Zhong the emperor? Senior, do you think he has the ability to be the common leader of the world?"
Then, a slightly nervous and concubine Xuan frowned and continued to ask.
"have no idea!"
ε=(ο`*)))Alas
"..."
(~)
Anne sighed impatiently, and then she curiously raised her eyes again to look at the guy called Concubine Shi Xuan.
"You don't seem to like that idiot Kou Zhong very much?"
(.)
"Then who do you think is suitable to be emperor?"
(*^*)
Anyway, she was bored, so Annie asked casually.
Of course she knew why the other party asked this, because, it is said that the 'He's Bi' is some kind of Lao Shizi's 'Jade Seal'. The person who gets it can only be legally recognized by people after he becomes the emperor?
"Li Shimin!"
Shi Feixuan didn't know what to do, she looked directly in a certain direction of the Tinliu Pavilion of Manqing Courtyard and said firmly.
"Li Shimin?"
(°ー°〃)
Annie also followed the other person's gaze towards Manqingyuan, and then saw a guy with a strange face.
"Why?"
(.)
Annie, who didn't know how that guy named Li Shimin was better than that idiot Kou Zhong, naturally continued to ask.
Although, that guy Koo Zhong is indeed an idiot, but no matter what, the other party is still his apprentice, and there is no way to change that. Therefore, Anne feels that no matter how bad her apprentice is, he will not be compared to an outsider. Go down.
"It's easy!"
"Fei Xuan has asked King Qin for advice on how to be a king and the policy of governing the world. She is very impressed by King Qin's answer!"
"Currently, the world is in chaos and for the livelihood of the common people, Fei Xuan feels that King Qin is the most suitable candidate."
"Anyway!"
"Please ask Senior to return He's Bi?"
Just like that, the concubine Xuan started to talk in front of Anne, and she kept saying good things about Li Shimin, and finally used that commanding tone to 'plead' Anne to hand over the Heshi Bi. .
"..."
(lll¬▽¬)
It's a pity that Anne didn't talk to him.
"??"
"Senior doesn't approve?"
Of course Shi Feixuan saw Annie's expression and asked quickly.
"That's for sure!"
(¬д¬.)
"Those things just now are what you think. You can think or say whatever you want, but..."
|ω)
"No matter whether that idiot Kou Zhong is suitable or not, if others think he is suitable, then he will be suitable, and if he is not suitable, then he will be suitable!"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)Cut~~
As she spoke, Annie turned her face away with disdain, expressing that she didn't want to get entangled with the other party on that boring issue.
"!!"
"Your Excellency, you want to put all the people in the world in dire straits and ignore it?!"
Seeing that Anne didn't want to return He's Bi, the concubine Xuan became anxious and actually exclaimed.
"??"
(.)
"You are not a common person in the world, how do you know that idiot Koo Zhong is not suitable?"
(ˊ)
Annie asked a little strangely, not understanding why the obviously beautiful young lady in front of her had such weird thoughts in her mind, and she didn't seem very smart.
(…)
(● ̄ ̄●)
"really!"
"but……"
"Since Heaven has given Fei Xuan the important task of saving the common people, Fei Xuan will definitely go all out!"
"Feixuan dares to ask senior to return He's Bi!"
After a pause and staring at Anne for a long time, the woman Shi Feixuan spoke again and said loudly in a more stern tone.
"The way of heaven?"
(**;)
Unexpectedly, the other party mentioned something about heaven, and Annie almost didn't react.
"Hello!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"Is Heaven here?"
()
"Is what she just said true? Is it the mission you gave her?!"
(.)
So, without thinking, Annie suddenly raised her head and asked loudly towards the moonlit sky.
"??"
Seeing this, Shi Feixuan on the other side was of course a little confused.
But...
The next second!
Boom! !
Suddenly, there was a loud thunderbolt, almost causing Shifei Xuan to stumble and fall from the branch.
"?!"
Then, she quickly looked up towards the sky.
But all she saw was that it was a beautiful day with a bright moon and few stars. There were no clouds in the sky and the weather didn't look like it was getting worse. So, how did the bolt from the blue come about? Of course she was. No matter how you think about it, you don’t know.
"Na!"
(/^▽^)/
"That Heavenly Dao just said it!"
(=^▽^=)
"It said: It has never given you such a boring task. It also said that it has nothing to do with you at all, and you should never get involved with it casually?"
(゜▽^*)
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to understand the meaning of the thunderbolt, Anne had no choice but to tell the truth and translate to the other party what the "Tiandao" had just conveyed.
"..."
"Senior, don't you plan to return it?"
Of course, Shi Feixuan didn't believe Anne's nonsense. She only thought that the bolt from the blue was some kind of special skill of Anne, or that it happened at the right time. Then, those words were just used by the other party to distract and tease her.
"I told you everything!"
()
"How can I return He's Bi if I'm not here?"
(ψ`╭╮′)o
"Besides..."
乛乛
"You're going to pay it back if you say you're going to pay it back. Why?"
(ˇεˇ)
As she said that, Annie glared angrily.
You know, she snatched that thing from a monk's temple with her own skills, and now she has given it away. It is absolutely impossible for her to give it back!
"That's fine!"
"Then Fei Xuan dares to ask for advice?"
Seeing that she was too weak and the negotiation broke down, there was nothing she could do, so Shi Feixuan began to concentrate and hold her breath and slowly pulled out the Se Kong Sword behind her.
"Wait!"
Sudden!
At this moment, a woman who was smart, charming, and as charming as a night fairy suddenly jumped out and stopped in front of Concubine Xuan, who was preparing for the ceremony. She first bowed to Anne, then turned around and said with a playful smile:
"laugh!"
"Junior sister Feixuan..."
"If your hands are itchy, why not..."
"Let Huanhan be Junior Sister's opponent, okay?"
Huanwen, who was already very familiar with Annie, didn't ask for her opinion at all, and just asked in a presumptuous manner.
"!!"
Of course Shi Feixuan saw some kind of subtle relationship between Huan Huan and Annie just now, so her fairy-like pretty face instantly became cloudy and uncertain, and at the same time, the hand holding the Sekong Sword froze in mid-air. middle.
"you……"
"What's the relationship?!"
She didn't know what the relationship between the two was, but Shi Feixuan only knew that the two seemed to be very familiar with each other, so she thought about it and had to ask in a deep voice.
"Not urgent!"
"Junior sister, if you win against Huan Huan, Huan Huan will tell you!"
"how?"
Of course, Huanwen didn't mean to tell the other party, because she liked the tangled and uncertain expression on the other party's face, so after finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party's reaction, she suddenly picked up her Demonic Double Blades and rushed forward. passed.
The next moment!
The two stunning women, one as light as a fairy and the other as charming as an elf, entangled each other and fought together under the moonlight, and many branches and shrubs were destroyed by their soldiers. The blade sword energy cut him to pieces.
"!!"
!!(Дノ)ノ
"..."
(′~`●)
Looking at the distance and then in front of her, Annie made a clear decision almost instantly. It seemed that two beautiful ladies fighting would be more interesting than the group of foot-picking uncles in Manqing Courtyard praising and bragging to each other. many?
"All right!"
(__*)
"As expected! Fighting is better!"
()°
So, she turned around and happily found a clean place to sit down. She took out a bag of popcorn and ate it with relish while watching and cheering.
"Sister Huanhan, come on!"
(ˊ〇ˋ*)
"Span her ass until she blossoms! People like you!"
