At noon in summer, the sun was blazing outside the window, and the room was a little hotter. From the next room, soft words could be heard faintly:

"Ji-ji--"

"Shh~ don't wake me up..."

"Gu~"

…

In the bed covered by the curtain, Ye Jingtang's eyelashes fluttered, and then he opened his eyes. After falling into a deep sleep, his mind went blank. After a while, he remembered where and when he was now.

The weather was extremely hot, and the thin quilt that originally covered my body had already been kicked aside.

Turning her head to look, Nuxia Luo may have felt that his body was too hot, so she rolled over to the innermost side of the bed and fell asleep with her back to him, revealing her perfectly curved back, the moon as white as snow, and her long legs...

truth……

Ye Jingtang blinked his eyes, only to feel that the already sultry weather had become a bit hotter. Seeing Ning'er sleeping soundly and not responding, he was reluctant to just 'night and day', he just tilted his head to appreciate it carefully, and after thinking about it, he looked at the pillow

He picked up a small porcelain bottle next to him.

I used the Dragon Slaying Order last night, and my arms were inevitably a bit sore due to exerting too much force. When Ning'er was being bullied, she didn't want to make a sound, so she just found something to do and rubbed his arms to distract him, but she got dizzy and took the wrong medicine bottle.

.

He asked what kind of medicine it was, but Ning'er hesitated and refused to tell. Finally, under his attack, she confessed that it was a temporary hair removal cream, and she covered her eyes with caution, fearing that he would try it on a whim.

He felt that this thing was unnecessary. After all, Ning'er's figure was flawless from head to toe. Any extra or missing point was just superfluous. And with Ning'er's little temper, he dared to make her look so embarrassing. He was determined to do so.

I ignored him for half a month.

But it's okay to scare someone.

Ye Jingtang thought for a while, dipped his fingers into the cup, then took the small medicine bottle, turned it behind the cold and charming Ning'er, and carefully walked around Liu's waist with his hand...

"Hmm~..."

Luo Ning went to bed at noon, and she didn't sleep very deeply. She felt a cold touch two inches below her navel. Her feet arched slightly, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then she opened her eyes.

The first thing that catches the eye is the little thief's unparalleled handsome profile, he is concentrating on something.

Looking down, the little thief was holding a medicine bottle in his left hand, with his fingers on her...

"ah--!"

A scream.

Luo Ning's beautiful peach blossom eyes widened visibly, and her eyes showed panic. She stood up and backed away as if she was electrocuted. She lowered her head to check - although it was still there, it must have disappeared at night, and she became shameless in front of others...

…

Thinking of this, Luo Ning even showed a trace of sadness and anger on her cheeks. She picked up the pillow and threw it at the smelly man who was messing around while she was sleeping:

"I'll beat you to death, you little thief! You...how could you do this?!"

I was so angry that I burst into tears.

Ye Jingtang was slapped several times by the pillow, but it didn't hurt at all. On the contrary, Ning'er moved too much and the little watermelon was shaking around, which made him a little dizzy. He quickly held her wrist and comforted her softly:

"It's water. It's just a joke. Don't be angry."

Luo Ning stared at Ye Jingtang for a moment. Seeing that he was joking to scare people, she felt relieved. Then she became even more angry. She picked up the pillow and patted Ye Jingtang a few times:

"Are you kidding? Believe it or not, I took advantage of your sleep to turn you into a little brat with no hair..."

Bang bang bang——

The two people were arguing when the door of the room was pushed open and Sanniang poked her head out of the door:

"What happen to you guys?"

Although nothing could be seen between the curtains, Luo Ning was so shocked that she quickly hugged the pillow and pretended to be calm:

"It's nothing. He woke me up by calling the Queen's name while he was sleeping... It's getting late, so get ready to leave."

Pei Xiangjun was next door, but she didn't hear Jingtang talking in his sleep, so she guessed that Jingtang might have caused trouble. But the two were fighting on the bed, and she couldn't interrupt, so she just said: "The sun is shining on your butt."

Come on, get up and eat." Close the door again.

After Ye Jingtang comforted Ning'er for a moment, he quickly put on his clothes and went downstairs to have a light meal. After the sun got a little lower, he set off again on horseback and galloped towards Heyuan County...

——

On the other side, Junshan Terrace.

Wu and Zezhou border each other, and the straight-line distance between Jianyang City and Zezhou, where Junshan Terrace is located, is less than 800 miles.

At noon, Qianli Yunmengze is shrouded in clouds and mist. Thirty-six islands are hidden among the blue waves, connected by corridors, terraces and pavilions. Among them, buildings, boats and boats float with the waves, gathering countless swordsmen who come from the north of Tiannanhai to make pilgrimages or become famous.

.

The recent rebellion caused by King Wu has caused a lot of turmoil, but the people around Junshantai have very few followers, and most of them are talking about another thing - Qiu Tianhe's appearance.

Qiu Tianhe was the "Three Heroes of Yunze" thirty years ago. Although there have been many ups and downs in recent decades, he is still walking in the world.

one.

On the day Qiu Tianhe came out, he yelled at Minglong Tower, "Mr. Xuanyuan didn't expect that..." After the news spread in the world, countless swordsmen came to Junshan Terrace one after another. They wanted to see Qiu Tianhe come out. The first stop was

It's not that I'm here to cause trouble for Mr. Xuanyuan.

Compared with the Jianghu people who are watching the excitement and don't mind the matter, the Xuanyuan family's own reaction is quite dull. After all, Qiu Tianhe's arrival is just a competition, and winning or losing cannot shake the foundation of Junshan Terrace.

Compared with this, another swordsman who may become a disaster is obviously more worthy of Junshantai's attention.

Deep in Junshan Terrace, on a tall building facing thousands of miles of blue waves, Xuanyuan Hongzhi held a note in his hand, an angry look on his face, and cursed as he walked back and forth:

"It's only been a few days. A few days ago, it was said that Ye Jingtang was favored by Prince Jing because of his outstanding appearance, and his martial arts skills were slightly better than Black and White Wuchang; now it was suddenly said that he was half-step Bagui, Huang Yulong and Xiao Shicheng were killed in an understatement, and he also served as

The imperial envoy led the army to encircle and suppress King Wu... He used a knife to kill people without even knowing the information. He still rebelled because of his ability, which is a disgrace to his mother..."

Next to Xuanyuan Hongzhi, stood an extremely muscular man, carrying a heavy sword with a broad back and a beard on his chin, facing an extraordinary figure, Yao Wenzhong, the direct disciple of the sword leader Xuanyuan Dynasty.

Although Yao Wenzhong has a foreign surname, his status is similar to that of Ye Jingtang. He is the adopted son of the Xuanyuan Dynasty and was cultivated by Junshantai as his successor.

Yao Wenzhong is extremely talented and has the qualifications to compete for the swordsmanship title in the future. However, being able to achieve this position in Junshantai is mostly due to luck.

Originally, the most legitimate heir to Junshantai was Xuanyuan Tiangang, the eldest son of the Xuanyuan Dynasty.

Xuanyuan Tiangang ranks first among the former "Three Masters of Yunze". His talent is obvious to all. At the age of thirty, there is almost no suspense to succeed his father, Xuanyuan Chao, as the next generation of swordsmen. In the future, he will outperform his talents and move up the ranking of the "swordsman".

It's impossible to move two people up.

However, the "Three Heroes of Yunze" are rivals, but they are also close friends. Xuanyuan Shuye, the eldest lady of Junshantai, met Pei Yuanfeng, the adoptive father of Ye Jingtang, during a competition between her brothers.

.

Later, in order to curry favor with the imperial court, the Xuanyuan family wanted to send their eldest daughter to the palace as a concubine. Pei Yuanfeng came to propose marriage and was provoked. When he was in his twenties, he challenged the Xuanyuan Dynasty and was brutally beaten to a disability.

Because of this incident, all three former Yunze heroes died young.

Pei Yuanfeng went to Beiliang to look for Snow Lake Flowers but failed. Frustrated, he picked up the Night Terror Hall again and lived in seclusion in a border town for the rest of his life.

Qiu Tianhe stood up for his friends and joined the emperor's wedding envoys single-handedly. He became a wandering bandit and lived in limbo for decades.

Xuanyuan Tiangang was dissatisfied with his family's behavior, so he abandoned his sword in Yunmengze, quit the world and became a rural fisherman, and never appeared again.

If these three people grow up smoothly, it is a question whether Yao Wenzhong and others can become the direct disciples of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, not only as the successors of Junshantai.

Now that the descendants of the Eight-Step Crazy Sword have appeared again, and they are coming fiercely, Yao Wenzhong understands what he will face next.

Hearing Xuanyuan Hongzhi's curse, Yao Wenzhong advised:

"Last time, I didn't find out the details. This time, I may have exaggerated because of urgency. The Night Terror Hall has only appeared for a few months. He is about 20 years old and has amazing martial arts skills. I believe it, but it is impossible to hold military power. The most he can do is serve as the leader of the black government.

, bring a hundred and ten men..."

Xuanyuan Hongzhi said: "Being able to frighten Bai Siming so much that he directly revealed his identity and sent the message must have been traced to Bai Siming. Once Ye Jingtang captures King Wu, his merits will be enough to promote him to an official position. Now he can't think of a way to eliminate future troubles.

, give him another two years, do you think he will come to Junshantai to speak with his sword single-handedly like Zheng Feng? As long as he takes power in the court, he will first kill the marquis, then send troops to raid the house, and then kill everyone. On the day I go to the execution ground,

Maybe I just met him for the first time..."

Yao Wenzhong knew that this was not a lie, so he thought about it a little:

"At the critical juncture of King Wu's rebellion, I went to kill the chief officer of the Black Yamen. If the news leaks out, I will be labeled as colluding with King Wu... I will deal with this person personally..."

Xuanyuan Hongzhi paused and said in a deep voice:

"A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. Bai Siming said that this boy is not far from Bakui. You might not be able to suppress him. At this time, it's time for dad to go out in person. It's best to call Zhou Chiyang and let Zhou Chiyang avenge the murder of his brother. hatred……"

Yao Wenzhong shook his head and said: "It is impossible for Zhou Chiyang to wade into such muddy waters. Master is the face of my Junshantai. If we kill officials outside, if something happens, Master can still drive me out of the house like old Mrs. Zhou, and The court's explanation is that it is on its own initiative. Master has passed away, and if he accidentally shows his face, Junshantai will have no room for maneuver. It is better for me to go over and handle this matter."

Xuanyuan Hongzhi clenched the hands behind him, turned around and said:

"I'm with you, I don't believe that this night terror can really compete with the Eight Great Leaders in their twenties..."

Yao Wenzhong was not sure how violent that night was, so he didn't say much about it, and left the high-rise building with Xuanyuan Hongzhi...

——

The sun rises and sets, and in the blink of an eye it becomes night again.

In Wuyan Mountain in the middle of Wuzhou, outside Tiehe Villa, which ranks first among the twelve sects in Wuzhou, leaders of Jianghu sects from afar arrive from time to time and enter under the recommendation of their disciples.
