In Wuyang City, people are coming and going, and thousands of houses are brightly lit.
Xia Xianyin walked slowly among the crowd, her feet stepping on the thin snow paved on the street, which was soft and soft.
A man in white clothes walked side by side with her. After walking on Shen'an Street for a long time, the man suddenly stopped, looked at the girl and asked, "Are you unhappy?"
Xia Xianyin was stunned and turned to look at the man. The man looked in his early thirties, thin and clean. He looked like a scholar, far better than the notorious executioner.
The man is very famous. In this Wuyang world, he is one of the few names that can stop children from crying at night.
Of course, if you have such ability, you will not have a good reputation.
His name is Xu Lian.
The four Wuyang tribes, Xia, Qing, Ying, and Xu, go back a hundred years, and they were all retainers of the Ji family back then.
When the Ji family was in trouble, the four tribes had the power to support the dragon. As the Ji family shed their blood all the way from the bottom of nowhere, the four tribes sacrificed countless people and finally reached the point where they are today.
At that time, the Taizu of the Ji family consecrated Zen on Longshan Mountain, the holy mountain of the Ji family, and made a vow.
During the Wuyang Dynasty, the four tribes did not fall.
That was a treatment that was enviable to many. It was a promise that exceeded any title in any holy mountain.
But today, how wonderful this promise once seemed, now it seems so ridiculous.
The Xia and Qing families were wiped out. Although the Xu family still existed, they were suppressed by the Ying family in every aspect. The Xu family was now so large that it had to rely on the man in his early thirties to survive.
"Do you think I should be happy?" Xia Xianyin asked.
Snow fell from between the two of them. Xu Lian looked at the girl with a slightly frowning brow and slowly shook his head.
"But you shouldn't be unhappy," he said.
"Since that year, I have rarely seen you smile. They said you were scared out of your wits."
"It's normal for a twelve-year-old girl to become stupid and crazy when she sees hundreds of her tribe members being beheaded. But you didn't. You just didn't laugh."
"That reassures me."
"In a place like Wuyang City, if a person wants to live, he must either laugh all the time or never laugh. Only by letting others not see the joy and sorrow can people let down their guard. I thought you already understood this truth, but it seems that you have gone
After your trip to Yangshan, you seem to have changed."
Xia Xianyin frowned slightly, looking a little strange.
"Is it because of His Highness the Crown Prince?" Xu Lian answered the question without giving her too much time to think about it.
Xia Xianyin's heart trembled, and her expression changed slightly.
But such an imperceptible change is fatal in front of people like Xu Lian.
Xu Lian smiled faintly, but did not point out anything. He turned to look at the snow that was getting bigger again, and walked forward: "Taizu once promised to give the four tribes a holy mountain, but the four tribes in Wuyang only have one holy mountain."
"The intention of two peaches to kill three men has long been obvious. It is a naked conspiracy."
"Everyone understands that no one wants to jump in, but they are worried that others will jump in. Day after day, year after year, the Ying family finally couldn't bear it."
"You entered the Ying family
The Xu family has long been in ruins. With the marriage between Xia and Ying, the Holy Mountain is in the possession of the Ying family. If the Ying family obtains the Holy Mountain, you will have the opportunity to overturn the case for the Xia family, and my Xu family will also gain peace. This is
It’s something that everyone is happy with, but those who can be unhappy about it are either coveting the Holy Mountain, or they are still brooding about what happened back then..."
Speaking of this, Xu Lian, who had walked a few steps away, suddenly stopped, looked back at Xia Xianyin, and asked, "What do you think Mr. Ying Xiangjun would think?"
The snow is still falling, and people are still coming and going on the streets of Wuyang City.
The snow curtain separated the two people. The thin layer of snow curtain made Xia Xianyin inexplicably have the illusion that she was in two different worlds from the person in front of her.
"Da Siming said that it is your choice to return to Wuyang City, but I want to give you another chance."
Xu Lian said this, and an object was thrown by him. Xia Xianyin caught the object, and when he looked closely, it was a bamboo tube, with one end of the bamboo tube covered with red mud.
Xia Xianyin could tell the clues of this object just by looking at it. She stretched out her hand to open the clay envelope and took out a letter of paper with several big words written on it: North of Sangshan Mountain, in Huayuan City. Evil Fire Burning Furnace,
The great reverse sword comes out.
Xia Xianyin looked a little confused. She raised her head and looked at Xu Lian.
"Someone made a knife there that shouldn't have been made. Go get it back." Xu Lian said this and suddenly turned around and walked away.
The night wind blew, and the corners of his white Confucian shirt were raised.
"Or, never come back."
…
There was a lot of laughter in the villa arranged by Qiujingyuan for Li Danqing and others.
"I feel like these land lists are meaningless. Didn't those guys run away in despair as soon as we took action?"
"Yes! Xiao Houyu is very powerful. I think she almost beat that guy named Sa to tears!"
"If you ask me, the dean should not have agreed to this bet with the surname Zhao in the first place. We should go directly to the Tianbang. This place is meaningless!"
The girls were laughing and chatting nonsense, and their arrogant attitude was obviously influenced by some deans who were not doing their jobs properly.
It's just that they don't seem to be aware of the change in their temperament. On the contrary, they are deeply affected by it, but they enjoy it.
Li Danqing squinted his eyes and looked at these guys, a little helpless - these guys said all his nasty things, leaving him speechless.
"Okay! Don't be too complacent. Not to mention the heavenly list, there are many people on the earthly list. We are no match. We can't slack off after we go back." Ning Xiu said at that time.
Now that the Yangshan Competition is halfway through, everyone has achieved rankings on the local rankings. This is equivalent to winning the bet between Li Danqing and Zhao Quan, and everyone is naturally happy.
"Don't worry! Aren't there still nurses sent by Commander Ning by then? We won't have time to rest with them watching."
"Yes, yes, and with my elixirs, our Dafeng Academy will get better and better."
"Let the dean renovate the house for us. We are the only people in a land as big as Dafeng Yuan, and it is inconvenient for three or five people to be crowded together."
"Is it possible to recruit some more disciples, and we can also be senior sisters?"
"How about building another bathhouse!?"
Everyone was talking, but Li Danqing's eyes lit up: "Bathhouse! This thing is good, our courtyard is known as the bathhouse warrior! The bathing skills are ranked first in Wuyang, and when the time comes, our courtyard will personally give you a bath
!”
When Li Danqing said these words, it was inevitable that everyone would roll their eyes.
Lord Xiwen, who was standing next to him, stretched out his hand and squeezed his shoulder hard, causing Li Danqing to grimace in pain.
"By the way, where's Xiaoxiao? Why haven't you seen anyone these days?" Liu Yanzhen asked suddenly.
Everyone also looked puzzled. They had been busy preparing for the Yangshan Competition these days and were not in the mood to worry about anything else. Only then did they realize after hearing this that everyone seemed to have not seen Wang Xiaoxiao for a long time.
"If my son is too old to stay, he can still do it. Why don't he just go to see Bai Zhiluo? This idiot is already fascinated by that Bai girl and can't find anything to do." Li Danqing curled his lips and said.
Liu Yanzhen asked curiously: "Do you think Bai Zhiluo can really like our Xiaoxiao?"
"I think this little brother is pretty good, why do I look down on him? He cooks delicious food and is a nice person." Hou Yu blinked and asked with some confusion.
"Little brat, you know what to say." Liu Yanzhen said in an old-fashioned way.
Hou Yu was a little dissatisfied with being looked down upon, so he pouted and stamped his feet.
Ning Xiu also rolled her eyes at Liu Yanzhen at this time and said, "Don't worry about the gossip. We are missing you in the Yangshan Competition now. Tomorrow is the last time, so don't let it slip."
Liu Yanzhen has been recuperating these days due to his injury and has not participated in the competition. After recuperating these days, his body has recovered to a certain extent. He will naturally take action to win the last place tomorrow.
"It's a trivial matter!" Liu Yanzhen said confidently.
"A arrogant soldier will be defeated. You can't underestimate the enemy." Ning Xiu reminded, but even though she said so, there was a smile on her face. After these days of practice, coupled with the existence of the Lieyang True Fire, everyone
Their cultivation levels have improved significantly. The worst Hou Yu has the cultivation level of the early Ziyang realm, and Liu Yanzhen has reached the middle stage of the Purple Yang realm. With the help of Lieyang True Fire, his actual combat power is not inferior to that of the late Ziyang realm.
It's really not that difficult to get a place on the list.
Liu Yanzhen seemed a little dissatisfied with Ning Xiu's words. She stood up and said boldly: "I, Liu Zhuge, have a wonderful plan. Not only do I have superior intelligence, but I also have unparalleled strength. Tomorrow you can watch me kill everyone!"
As she said that, she pretended to pat her chest. She didn't know if she was using too much force, but she choked herself. Her face turned red and she coughed a few times.
This appearance caused everyone to burst into laughter. When Ning Xiu saw this, he said angrily: "You! You are so careless. You can't be careful when doing things."
Liu Yanzhen did not respond. Instead, he coughed louder and his face turned redder.
Everyone's laughter stopped, and they all looked at Liu Yanzhen's expression becoming a little strange, and Li Danqing also frowned.
He stood up and was about to ask about Liu Yanzhen's condition, but then Liu Yanzhen coughed several more times, and then...
A mouthful of purple-black blood suddenly spurted out from her mouth!
