"Master Li, outside...Ling Yun is here!" A guard rushed in from outside, panting.
"Are you serious?" Li Ruiyun suddenly stood up from his chair and said this subconsciously. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized how unnecessary his question was.
"Exactly." The guard quickly confirmed what he had just said.
"He really dares to come!" Li Ruiyun murmured: "He really worked hard for that woman!"
The sudden "fright" made him feel dizzy for a moment. It took a lot of effort to restrain the surging emotions in his heart, and turned his eyes to the white feather Taoist priest aside for advice.
Compared with Li Ruiyun's excitement and confusion, Taoist Bai Yu seemed much calmer and calmer.
He glanced at Li Ruiyun almost invisible, with a somewhat disdainful expression, and complained in his heart, "Isn't it just Ling Yun here? What's the big deal? Our gang leader has always been calm and calm in dealing with things. Why is it so important to him when it comes to things related to Ling Yun? Are you in a mess?"
He narrowed his black eyes slightly and said thoughtfully, "Where is Ling Yun now?"
The guard replied respectfully: "It's at Xuande Gate, just south of the palace. He asked the younger one to report to Young Master Li and the Taoist Priest, and also asked how he could see Princess Huanyu."
Bai Yu said: "How many people does he have with him?"
"It's just him." The guard replied decisively and simply.
"He is serious about going to the dragon's den and the tiger's den alone - is he trying to imitate Guan Yunchang's attitude of going to the meeting alone!" Li Rui's uncertain face was filled with a complicated look.
"Gang leader, what should we do next?" Bai Yu's deep and cold voice escaped from his mouth, and his narrow eyes were full of evil.
"What else can we do? Since everyone else is here, just act according to the prior agreement!" Li Ruiyun's eyes were as dark as night, like the gentle ripples in an ancient well, filled with a cold chill, "Taoist Priest, please go to the south gate to meet us first Tell this lone hero who is going to the meeting alone, and ask him to wait for me in front of the Heavenly Stairs outside Chaoyang Gate, and tell him that I will be there soon."
"Okay, Pindao will go right away." Taoist priest Bai Yu responded, turned around and went out.
"Luo Fengwei." He turned around and ordered the female Tianxiao disciple standing beside him.
Luo Fengwei ranks thirteenth among the twenty-three disciples of Tianxiao. She is introverted and low-key, calm and thoughtful in dealing with things. She has been following Li Ruiyun for many years. She has always been loyal and diligent to Tianxiao, and has won Li Ruiyun's trust and respect. , can be described as a rare loyal minister and good general of Tianxiao.
"I'm here, but I don't know what the leader's orders are." Luo Fengwei hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his head respectfully.
"Take a few people to bring Princess Huanyu over and meet in front of the Heavenly Stairs outside Chaoyang Gate." As he said that, Li Ruiyun looked at her deeply, "Everything should be done according to the original plan, without any mistakes. "
"Yes, I obey." Luo Fengwei nodded knowingly and hurried out.
After the arrangements were completed, Li Ruiyun also stood up and left the imperial study, walking towards Chaoyang Gate as fast as flying. After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a burst of small and rapid footsteps behind me. When I turned around, I saw Wan'er catching up with me out of breath.
He frowned and subconsciously slowed down. Upon seeing this, Wan'er hurriedly stepped forward, taking three steps at a time and then two steps at a time to rush behind him.
"What are you doing here?" Li Ruiyun's voice was calm, but he still kept walking.
"How could I miss such a huge formation and such a lively and exciting scene?" Wan'er's face was filled with an excited smile.
"Oh, it's really not a big deal to just watch the excitement. How long has it been since then, and you still have such thoughts! What a little woman who likes to have fun..." Li Ruiyun rolled her eyes at her speechlessly.
However, the situation was urgent at the moment, and he had neither the time nor the mood to talk to her, so he hurried forward with his feet, ignoring this charming and willful "little girlfriend" and saying it was up to you to go or not. manner.
Thick ink clouds squeezed the sky, covering up the scarlet that had just filled the eyes. They were so heavy that they seemed to be falling, and the entire Ouchi Palace was so oppressive that it became silent.
In front of the heavenly steps outside Chaoyang Gate, a young man in white clothes and a sword stood deserted.
He has straight black hair, slanted eyebrows, clear and sharp eyes, pale and pursed lips, sharp outlines, and a tall and tall figure.
Dressed in plain clothes, he is cold, arrogant and lonely yet upright; armed with a sword, he is lonely and independent yet flaunts strength and elegance.
The person who came was none other than Ling Yun.
It was past midnight, and the twilight was closing, and the surrounding trees were shadowy; the ancient cypresses touching the sky under the eaves of the nearby hall were like ferocious ghost claws, and the gray railings and walls were also shrouded in a misty gloom.
The gunpowder smoke has condensed into clouds in the sky, making people's hearts feel heavy. At this time, he finally heard the rapid and orderly footsteps coming from around him.
Turning around, he saw a Taoist priest in green rushing over with a large group of guards.
The bright armor shone with a dazzling sheen, and the jagged swords thrust straight into the sky; the murderous hordes of men and horses came in like a sea wave, raising dust and billowing waves, which was intimidating and frightening.
Those murderous guards surrounded the entire Tianjie in a blink of an eye, making it completely airtight.
"Are you trying to intimidate me?" Ling Yun glanced coldly and snorted.
At this time, the Taoist priest in green walked up to him calmly, looked sideways, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "Young Master He, are you okay?"
The person coming was none other than Bai Yu.
Ling Yun had a stern look on his face and curled his thin lips, "Thanks to Taoist Priest, Ling Yun is not dead yet!"
"You're not dead - well, it seems that you, Mr. He, are really blessed, blessed, and blessed. You said that the poisonous wine like Hedinghong didn't kill you last time. It's really What a pity! Is it true that you, Mr. He, are the legendary cat with nine lives? "
When he came to the last few words, Bai Yu deliberately prolonged his tone; his tone was even more sinister and sarcastic.
"I'm not a cat. Don't call me Mr. He anymore. Call me Ling Yun." Ling Yun raised his sword eyebrows, showing a very impatient look, "Where is Li Ruiyun? Doesn't he want to see me? Let him come quickly. !”
"Haha, you are so tyrannical!" Bai Yu glanced over with disdain, "Ling Yun, do you think that Gang Leader Li is your subordinate? He can come and go at your command! He is very important. I can't get away with the matter, and I don't have time to serve you now - if you have anything to say, you'd better tell Pindao first."
Ling Yun's eyes were deep and dark, with an invisible flame dazzling in his eyes, and he said loudly: "What do you mean, are you kidding me? I clearly asked Ling Yun to come to the Ouchi Palace to see him by name, but now I'm here, but... And deliberately hiding away - does the dignified leader of the Tianxiao Gang really want to imitate those shy businesswomen who still hold the pipa to half-cover their faces, or does he want to hide in his shell like a shrunken turtle and dare not see the light? "
Taoist Priest Baiyu's face turned blue and his eyes widened in anger, "Ling Yun, you are very good at provoking generals. How dare you insult our gang leader like this? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Afraid of death? Humph," Ling Yun seemed to be too lazy to even raise his eyelids, and the smile on his lips was even more heart-shaking, "From the moment Ling Yun stepped into the Ouchi Palace, he had no intention of leaving alive - Bai Yu, I advise you to still Stop trying to scare people with that arrogant attitude."
"You——" Bai Yu was furious for a moment.
"He is a hero with great righteousness and a disregard for death. He is indeed a hero with no shame to look up to!" At this time, a low and magnetic voice suddenly came from the distance, breaking the current stalemate.
Ling Yun turned around in response and saw Li Ruiyun dressed in black, with his hands behind his back, walking over majestically; behind him was Shi Shiran, a beautiful and enchanting girl in green.
His delicate facial features are as frosty as snow, with a kind of evil charm and ruthlessness; the sword-shaped eyebrows slanting into the temples, the blood-colored eyes, the slightly aquiline nose, the slightly sunken corners of the mouth, and the angular face become more and more... His hair perfectly accentuated the powerful aura emanating from his body.
Facing the other party's murderous eyes, Ling Yun walked up with a chuckle. The moment they faced each other, the air seemed to freeze.
The afterglow cast by the blood-like setting sun danced between their sharp eyes, and the chilling and oppressive atmosphere became more and more intense in this terrifyingly silent scene.
Ling Yun looked at the man opposite him for a long time, and then spoke in a lukewarm tone: "Leader Li, you are finally here. It's not easy to meet you!"
"I should be saying these words to you - Ling Yun, you are finally here. It's even more difficult to see you! If it weren't for that woman, you wouldn't come here anyway, right?" Li Ruiyun said coldly. He curled his lips, with a hint of provocation and teasing in his tone.
"Nonsense!" Ling Yun snorted lightly, with an expression of extreme disgust on his face, "If it weren't for your gang leader Li being so despicable and using all possible means to resort to such despicable and vicious tricks, I would have come for no reason. Are you going to die here?"...
