() Xue Yu put down his wine glass and sighed, "I don't know, brother, since the Xiliang Kingdom started the war against the Tianqiong Sect, the country's expropriation and extortion of the people has almost reached the extreme. I thought it would be better after the war, but unexpectedly it got worse. I heard it was
Because the real person Yuheng, the king of Xiliang, made a promise to the Shuramen, half of the output of spiritual stones will be given to the Shuramen every year, and a hundred young men and women with excellent qualifications will be given as gifts. In the battle of Tianqiong, the original national strength
It has declined to the extreme, and half of the spiritual stones have to be given away to others, so the result can be imagined."
"In addition, the Lengyue Kingdom is making great efforts on the northern border. Even the Sitian Pavilion in Xianzhou is useless. Now even if there are monks casting spells in the city, they can no longer control it. The country has added a lot of laws to deal with the people who violate it even slightly.
, were punished to mine spiritual stones, and the number of young adults in Xianzhou has decreased by one-fifth. It is imaginable that the city has lost its vitality." When Xue Yu said this, his eyebrows were full of exhaustion, as if he had seen the desolation of the world.
"I heard that the Youlong Gang has been quite vocal recently, is this happening?" Chen Yunsheng asked.
"Haha, it's natural. Gang leader Li is a talented man and has great strategies. Branches of the Youlong Gang have been opened in all major cities in Xiliang Kingdom. In troubled times, the power of the gang can be enhanced to an unparalleled level." Xue Yu said in a different tone.
There is no pride, but there is a hint of irony.
"How about the Fire Hall of Black Bones? Are there more monks joining?"
"This, I will ask him myself tomorrow. Although Liehuo Hall is under the rule of Youlong Gang, the power of action is controlled by Heigu alone, and we cannot check and balance it. What I know is that Liehuo Hall is larger in scale, and only the deputy hall
There are seven or eight masters, and each deputy hall master has many banner masters. The banner master has at least ten gang members. However, the Liehuo Hall is secretive and seldom takes action, but every time it takes action, it has a huge impact.
Movement." Xue Yu said in a cryptic manner.
"Oh? For example, what big things have they done?" Chen Yunsheng asked curiously. He was very curious about the scale of Liehuo Hall.
"Brother, do you know the Qianfengling line among the seven sects of Tianqiong? A few years ago, Liehuo Hall had a conflict with this sect because of the spirit stone veins. Eight deputy hall masters of the Black Bone Company took action, and thousands of people suddenly
Appearing at the mountain gate of Qianfengling, the result can be imagined. Even the sect master with sixty-level Nascent Soul cultivation who was in charge of Qianfengling was pierced by random arrows and died inside the mountain gate. Qianfengling was a mess.
No monk can come out of this life alive." When Xue Yu told this story, his tone was low and he paused from time to time to fully exaggerate the tragedy in the story.
"How could it be so powerful? According to me, there are five or six Jindan monks in Qianfengling. Counting the sect masters with Nascent Soul cultivation in charge, they shouldn't have been defeated so miserably." Chen Yunsheng was puzzled.
Asked, according to the strength comparison between the two sides, even if the eight deputy hall masters are all at the Golden Core stage, their strength is still inferior to that of the other party.
"Heigu has many tricks. I don't know the details. Ask him yourself when you have time." Xue Yu picked up the wine glass, "Come on, welcome Brother Chen back and drink this glass of wine." Everyone present raised their glasses.
Cup, drink all the wine in it.
Jin Furong drank two glasses, and two red clouds appeared on her white jade cheeks, making her look extremely charming. Chen Yunsheng glanced at the woman and secretly thought that he had forgotten something important. He immediately cleared his throat and said: "Xue Yu
Brother, do you know who this woman is?"
Xue Yu nodded and said, "Li'er introduced her just now. Her name is Jin Furong."
Chen Yunsheng smiled again and again, "Do you know the relationship between her and Xue Li?"
Hearing this, both Jin Furong and Xue Li felt a little hot on their cheeks, and the woman lowered her head gently. This was something that Chen Yunsheng rarely remembered.
Xue Yu frowned, not knowing what Chen Yunsheng was talking about, but Mrs. Xue was a woman after all, and she had already seen the clues from the occasional eye contact between her son and Jin Furong. She looked at Jin Furong with a smile on her face, "
This girl was born like a celestial being, Xue Li is really lucky."
When Jin Furong heard Xue's mother praising her beauty, she felt happy in her heart and a smile bloomed on her face. It was like a strange flower blooming for the first time, and it was so bright and beautiful. She chuckled and said, "Auntie is so complimentary."
Xue Li chuckled and thought to himself, before you see a woman acting unruly, she is really unreasonable.
Xue Yu didn't understand what was going on until now, and immediately laughed and said: "Miss Jin is very good, very good, very good."
Mrs. Xue rolled her eyes at him and said, "You have nothing but good things to say. Where did your usual eloquent energy go?"

She asked everyone to wait for a while, then turned around and returned to the back hall. After a while, Mrs. Xue came back with a long brocade box in her hand. The box was wrapped with cloud brocade and embroidered with cloud patterns. Look.
It looked extremely luxurious. Mrs. Xue handed the brocade box to Jin Furong and said with a smile: "His father and I are both ordinary people. We don't have practitioners' magic tools around us, so I can only give you some ordinary things. I hope you can
Don't mind."
Jin Hibiscus thanked her and took the brocade box. She gently opened the lid and found a gold and jade necklace lying across the inside. Small gold wires surrounded more than twenty pieces of jade. The gold and green complemented each other, and it was neither luxurious nor luxurious.
It also looks quite graceful, exuding an exquisite and exquisite beauty.
Although Jin Furong is the leader of a gang and has seen countless spiritual stones, gold and silver, she has little contact with exquisite mundane ornaments. At the same time, as a woman, there is no reason not to love her. She immediately put on the necklace with joy.
On her neck, a slightly cool touch came, and the woman looked at Xue Li happily.
At this moment, there was a sudden soft sound of wind outside the door. Chen Yunsheng frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Who is there?"
A woman's figure walked into the living room. The bright light shone on her face, and her soul-stirring beauty made everyone present feel moved. If the beauty of golden hibiscus is bright, then the beauty of this woman is
It's bright. Even if she doesn't smile, there is a heart-warming power between her eyebrows.
There is a natural mutual disdain between beautiful women. Even though there was no direct conflict of interest with her, Jin Furong still felt that her limelight was half stolen by others. She felt a little unhappy and asked first: "Who are you?"
The woman fluttered her blessings like a willow in the wind to everyone present, and said to Zhu Chen gently: "Little girl Lan Xingfan, please respectfully invite Senior Brother Chen to sit in the Fierce Fire Hall. Master Black Bone Hall can't wait to see you."
Xue Yu stood up and said: "It turns out to be Deputy Hall Master Lan. Brother Chen is staying here today and will go to Liehuo Hall tomorrow. What do you think?"
Lan Xingfan's delicate brows frowned, and her voice was still gentle: "In this case, the little girl will just stay here for one night. I don't dare to go back until I complete the order given by the hall master."
Chen Yunsheng stared at Lan Xingfan with a good look and said, "I'll go with you."
Xue Li stood up and was about to leave, but Chen Yunsheng said again: "Xue Li, you and Furong stay here for a little longer. When you have enough, you can just return to Taibai Peak. You don't have to wait for me."
"But, uncle..."
"You must stay here longer. If you let me know that you returned to Taibai Peak in two or three days, let's see how I punish you. I haven't seen my parents for so long. It's time to catch up on old times." Chen Yunsheng interrupted.
Although Xue Li's words were stern, they contained a deep sense of warmth.
"Let's go." Chen Yunsheng waved to Lan Xingfan.
The woman came to him obediently and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Chen knows how to pity the slave family. He knows that the master of the Black Bone Hall is not an easy person to talk to, so he won't let me get into trouble."
When she said these words, Chen Yunsheng had already walked out of the hall, turned around and asked the woman: "Are you going by yourself? Or take my Chuanyun Boat."
"Of course I'll be your Yunzhou. It's so tiring to walk on my own." Lan Xingfan said matter-of-factly.
Chen Yunsheng took out the Chuanyun Boat, and the two of them boarded the boat. A burst of blinding light surged, and the two disappeared in the yard.
Looking at Chen Yunsheng's departure, Xue Li murmured: "Why do I always feel uneasy?"
Jin Furong held his hand and said: "Hei Gu and Uncle Chen have been friends for many years. If there is any problem, you should not think too much about it." Although she also felt uneasy in her heart, in order to appease Xue Li, the woman did not say anything.
out.
Xue Li nodded and stopped talking.
…
There is a different feeling to flying at night. Although there is a bit of chill, there is less sunlight and exposure during the day. Chen Yunsheng stood on the bow of the ship, thinking quietly.
Lan Xingfan stood beside him for a long time, and he didn't notice it. Finally, the woman couldn't bear it and asked: "Why does Senior Brother Chen not want to see the little girl so much? He was so cold at the beginning. When he saw that you were fine, the little girl was excited.
Very."
For a perverse and cunning girl like Lan Xingfan, Chen Yunsheng had no choice but to treat her with silence, "I am also very happy to see you. It has been more than twenty years since we parted ways in the Tianqiong Mountains, and I didn't expect you.
His cultivation has reached the early stage of Jindan, which really impresses me."
Lan Xingfan said with a flat mouth: "Isn't it strange? Xingfan's cultivation level was no lower than yours back then. Even you have advanced to the Golden Core stage, why can't I?"
Chen Yunsheng felt bitter in his mouth and didn't know what to say. He hurriedly changed the subject and said: "During these years, the Hidden Moon Sect has not been looking for you again?"
"Looking for me? They hate me so much. It is because of me that the alliance between the Hidden Moon Sect and Sitian Pavilion was not reached, and they did not participate in the battle of Taibai Peak. From this perspective, do you still want to thank me?
?" the woman said slightly arrogantly.
"Thank you? At most we are even. After all, we saved your life." Chen Yunsheng returned unceremoniously.
Lan Xingfan snorted and stopped talking. The two people on the boat fell into silence. The stars in the sky were sparse, and the starry sky in winter was always lonely. Chen Yunsheng looked up and saw three blood-red stars very clearly from the north sky.
of stars. One of them shines brighter than the other two.
Suddenly he felt that the surging black river in the sea of consciousness suddenly became surging, threatening to submerge the desolate wilderness on the side. The boundless sea on the other side also began to make waves, and the tall waves kept licking the river bank, and the sea of consciousness was immersed.
In a strange commotion.
A distant flute sound sounded, and Chen Yunsheng gradually became much calmer. Sometimes the sound of the flute was quiet and distant, sometimes it was turbid and heavy, which cleared away the stagnation in his heart, and he suddenly felt lighter. :)
