Leaving the city, the rain kept falling in the prefect's palace.
Calabash Taoist Priest Du Boan and others had already gone to the banquet hall accompanied by the palace attendants. Only Luo Chuan, Shadow, and Gao Shixian, who held an umbrella for Luo Chuan, were still there.
Luo Chuan carefully read the note in his hand again before using real fire to burn it, "Zhang Biao returned to Shangyuan City to cultivate, Senior Qingyun did not come back, Daoist Xiao returned to Baitong, but he was deeply He was seriously injured and lost an arm..." He said with a solemn expression, "The monster I once encountered, the one-armed Taoist priest mentioned in his mouth, should be Taoist Master Xiao. He lost one arm. For a swordsman, the impact would be too great..."
The shadow didn't answer. He looked back and saw Chang Yufeng walking slowly. When the rain fell on his head, he automatically avoided it. Even the corners of his clothes were not wet, as if there was an invisible umbrella. over there.
Behind him, the other Wangchuan sword cultivators left the palace.
Luo Chuan also felt something. He turned to face Chang Yufeng and said, "Daozhang Zhang and Daozhang Xiao... are back."
Chang Yufeng nodded expressionlessly, "I just received the talisman sword from Senior Sister Qingyun. Senior Sister asked Junior Brother Zhang to go back to Uehara first. She has to go north to do some things and will be back soon. Is Junior Brother Xiao okay?"
Luo Chuan shook his head, "Daoist Xiao... broke his left arm."
Chang Yufeng's eyes narrowed and he was silent for a long time before saying, "Junior brother Xiao is a very strong person. When he was on the mountain, he was good at the variety of hand seals. He could often make sudden moves with so many variables that he lost an arm. , it should be a big blow to him, but this is not his fate. If he can pass this level, with his character and qualifications, he can expect to reach the third realm."
Luochuan was speechless.
Chang Yufeng glanced at Luochuan and asked, "Junior Brother Niu and the others, have you sent any messages back?"
Luo Chuan shook his head, "The strength of the five of them is already very strong, especially with a magic weapon like the Hun Tian Shuo. As long as they meet at one place, there will be no other risks. There is still no news back. They should go eastward as said at the time. Mianshui, I went to Zhaoshui City and took a look at the current situation in the city."
"Zhaoshui City?" Chang Yufeng said, "The person who is serving as the general of Zhaoshui City now is the newly transferred veteran general Sun Miao. Although this old general is old, he is strict in running the army and is prudent in his actions. There should be no question."
Luo Chuan raised his hand and gestured to Chang Yufeng to follow him to the banquet hall. He said, "In today's world, nothing is guaranteed to go wrong. How can Wang Hui of Heyu City be such an easy person?" If we want to regain Hetama City, Terusu City is the most important part besides Mas City."
Chang Yufeng looked back at Luochuan. He was also a smart person and immediately understood the meaning of Luochuan's words, "Old General Sun Miao... is the father-in-law of Yongchang County Prime Minister Zhao Nanpeng. Originally, he was At this age, I have already retired in Yicheng, but in this year's changes, from being re-activated, to being transferred one after another, to becoming the general of Zhaoshui City a few days ago, there is Zhao Nanpeng's shadow behind him."
"The Zhao family in Yongchang County..." Luo Chuan turned to look at Gao Shixian, who was bending beside him and accompanying him, "Does it have something to do with Uncle Zhao's Zhao family?"
Hearing this, Gao Shixian bowed and said, "What I said to my lord, this old slave has only heard that the ancestors of the Zhao family in Lijun are a branch of the Zhao family in Yongchang. But whether this is the case, you have to ask the county captain to know." .”
"This world is really not that big sometimes," Luo Chuan said casually, "Send someone to invite Uncle Zhao to the palace for a talk. I originally wanted to meet him first when I came back this time."
Gao Shixian bowed and said yes, looked back, and saw a young palace attendant trotting to his side. After a few words of communication, the young palace attendant bowed and stopped, then turned around and trotted in. In the rain.
Luo Chuan and others came all the way to the banquet hall, where the doors and windows were wide open, and the light rain was broken by the breeze into a hazy mist, passing through the hall, giving a cool and moist feeling.
Luo Chuan strode to the only seat at the top and sat down. He raised a bowl of hot soup and looked at the people in the hall. He spoke as if drinking wine. Everyone found it interesting and the atmosphere gradually became brighter.
Then there were musicians and singers entering the hall to sing and dance, and as the food was served,
The scene in front of them made everyone who had just experienced the war feel a little bit like they were in another world.
After a banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After all, Chang Yufeng, who was an accomplished monk but was still injured, took the lead to say goodbye and drifted away to the Luo Family Courtyard where a group of Wangchuan sword cultivators lived to adjust their breathing.
The next person to leave was the gourd Taoist priest Du Boan. He specially raised a bowl of hot soup to Luo Chuan. He said that tomorrow he would come to the palace with the elders stationed in Li city from Tingfeng Pavilion to have an audience. By the way, he would teach the prefect how to draw talismans. Luo Chuan raised the bowl. Send each other off.
Then Luochuan asked Gao Shixian to personally arrange residences outside the palace for Tushan and Xiaodao Tongzhen. Gao Shixian followed the order and took away all the other palace waiters and maids in the banquet hall, and also opened the doors and windows. close.
In the huge banquet hall, only Luo Chuan, Qian Xue, Ying Ying and Luo Jiang, the general from the city, were left. .z.
At this moment, Luo Jiang, who had not said a word during the whole meal, finally spoke first, "We can't fight in Heyu City without you, right?"
Luo Chuan said "Yes", "Senior Qingyun is the Eighth Realm Master, and she is also a senior sister of Wangchuan Sword Cultivator. Logically speaking, it is enough to have her around, but she has a simple mind and lacks intelligence. Qianxue's ability could have led the team, but due to his status, it was difficult to convince the crowd. What's more, there was a helping hand from Tingfeng Pavilion like Master Bo'an. If I hadn't gone, how could I have gathered everyone's strength together? Together?"
Luo Jiang asked again, "Before going to Heyu City, have you ever thought about... dying in Yongchang?"
"Of course I have thought about it, but not much," Luo Chuan did not hesitate and told the truth, "At that time, I still thought too little about Nanyi's determination to go north. I only thought that there were three powerful people in the upper three realms. Accompanying a group of great monk-level swordsmen, in terms of strength alone, it is not a bad idea to go straight to Yicheng and capture Meng Xiaotian's dog head. What's more, even if a Heyu City is defeated, how can it even have a chance to escape? No? Now it seems that it is still not thoughtful and needs to be taken as a warning."
When Luo Jiang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, and the cold color on his face was no longer there, "You, you have been very smart since you were a child, but you know how to tolerate and hide your clumsiness, and you are as mature as an adult. But since you came out of Zhongjing City, you seem to be a different person. You are not as confident as before... This is a good thing and a bad thing. Uncle Jiang has opened up to you today and talked to this extent. He looked up at Luochuan, and there was even a hint of pleading in his eyes. "I just hope that you can be more cautious in the future. After all, Li Jun sitting in the position of prefect is probably worse than the past nine years." Adding up to a hundred years, it will be much more dangerous..."
Luo Chuan's heart warmed, and he felt that his blood-soaked heart was beating more energetically after returning from Heyu City.
He did not speak, but nodded solemnly, and then looked at the door of the banquet hall, where a tall figure holding an umbrella gently pushed the door open.
