A light, a light flickering. An incense burner, green smoke curling.

Shao Pingbo sat cross-legged on the couch, one arm was on the case, and the other hand was holding the scroll to read, there was an unfinished game of chess on the case, and the people under the light were full of grace and elegance.

Shao Sanxing entered, walked to the side and stretched out his hand, the temperature in the room was not low, and he wanted to take off the silver fox fur on his body.

As soon as the scroll was lifted, Shao Pingbo blocked his hand, Shao Sansheng had no choice but to give up, and said softly: "Your Majesty is afraid that the eldest prince will be lonely, so the special messenger sent two beauties, and their appearance and temperament are the best choice, to accept or not to accept them?"

Shao Pingbo calm: "Jun En doesn't dare to resign, settle down." How's that going over there?"

Shao Sansheng knew what he was asking, and replied: "Together with the news from the east, I made a count, and nearly a thousand monks were lost on the east and west. ”

Shao Pingbo's eyes moved away from the scroll, his eyes fell on the chessboard on the side, he reached into the chess bowl, twisted a white piece and pressed it on the chess grid, picked up a few sunspots from the chessboard and threw them aside, and then continued to read his book.

This inexplicable moment on the way to reading the book made Shao Sansheng notice something, and tried to ask: "Eldest prince, is there anything to say?"

Shao Pingbo read quietly and didn't reply to him.

After following him for many years, Shao Sanxing knew him, and he didn't want to say anything if he didn't say anything, so he didn't need to ask anymore, so he retreated slightly and didn't bother anymore.

Shao Pingbo raised his eyes slightly, glanced at his departing back, and his gaze fell back on the book again.

For him, to a certain extent, he was not defeated in the hands of Niu Youdao, but in the hands of that group of monks, who interfered too much, even in the Jin Kingdom, and the degree of control of this **** made it difficult for him to exert it.

Especially the group of students he brought, it is like encountering a layer of iron curtain, there is a lot of resistance, it is difficult to intervene in the corners and corners to exert his ability, to put it bluntly, it is difficult to grasp a certain amount of real power, that is his foundation, the foundation is unstable, and he will not be stable in the future.

A little sparser, a little sparser, the fewer monks involved, the more people in the world who are activated, and the need for capable people to come out and do things, both for his students, or for his own present situation.

If the Jin State does not give the three percent benefits to the Zhao State according to its consistent strength, the attitudes of the three kingdoms of Jin, Wei and Qi cannot be unified, and the loosening of the attitude of the Jin State is promoted by him.

What is given to the cow is a silent catastrophe.

He can also think that the three major factions of Yan State will not let Nanzhou break the situation easily, and they will clamp Nanzhou into immobility, until the situation has deteriorated to the point of falling down with a slight push, he wants Niu Youdao to watch his hard work in Nanzhou ruined, and he wants to see what Niu Youdao can do under the general trend.

......

Demon Ridge, similar to the existence of Star Picking City and Ice and Snow Pavilion, is on the same continuous mountain range as the Ethereal Pavilion, but it is far away.

Although they are both monks, human beings still have a certain degree of rejection of demons and monsters, so demons and monsters like to come here to trade.

In a way, this is a forgotten corner, and for special reasons, it is shrouded in dark clouds all year round, and it is difficult to see the sun.

The main building of the Demon Ridge was excavated on a huge mountain rock, a big mountain like a skull, called the Demon Palace, which was the original Demon Sect General Altar.

However, now the Demon Sect has gradually declined, just because there is a stunning and brilliant character within the Demon Sect, Wu Chang!

Wu Chang, one of the nine supreme beings today, was the right envoy of the Demon Sect before he rose, and there were a lot of strange things in that short period of time, and the leader of the Demon Sect was also Wu Chang's father-in-law, and he died. Wu Chang also failed to become the leader of the Demon Sect, and since then, the Demon Sect has no Demon Sect Master, and there is no right envoy of the Demon Sect.

Many years ago, the inheritance saint who dedicated her life to the Demon Sect actually had a relationship with a man and a woman, Wu Chang was furious, the saint died, and the position of the Demon Sect Holy Maiden also disappeared, and now the Demon Sect has only one left envoy in charge.

With absolute strength, Demon Ridge naturally became Wuchang's territory. Wu Chang thought about the old feelings, but he didn't drive the people of the Demon Sect away, and the Demon Sect became the watchman of the Demon Ridge, similar to the city lord of Star Picking City, speaking of Wuchang's people, it seems that he is not a Wuchang person.

On the cliff, Zhao Xiongge hung one leg outside the cliff, sat there, supported the ground with one hand, and poured wine gourd into his mouth with the other.

"Roar!" On the dangerous slope not far away, the golden retriever roared suddenly into the sky, with fangs, terrifying claws, and a powerful tail like a steel whip.

It seems to be reminding Zhao Xiongge that someone is coming, and it seems that he has sensed the changes in the heavens.

In the treacherous changes of the dark clouds covering the sky, a pillar of light seeped out, which was fantastic in the world, adding a different color to the gloomy world.

Zhao Xiong's singer froze in the wine gourd, with wine hanging on his newly long beard on his mouth, and looked at the fantasy pillar of light in a daze, as if he was recalling something, and a smile immersed in the past appeared in his eyes.

A person flew not far away, a man who always had a faint smile on his face, a slight vicissitudes in his smile, and a gentle face like a knife and axe, with a different kind of male charm.

Dressed in silky black, flowing like a fairy flying, with long hair draped in the wind after hunting, long hair half black and half white, white at the tail.

This person is none other than the Demon Sect's left envoy, Nantian Wufang.

After landing on the ground, he flicked his big sleeves with both hands, the wide-sleeved robe and long shirt floated back, and he sat cross-legged next to Zhao Xiongge, glanced at Zhao Xiongge, who was obsessed with his appearance, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Xiongge replied dreamily: "It's so beautiful!"

"Maybe. Nantian Wufang also stared at the pillar of light for a while, and then said slowly: "You went to Maolu Villa to alarm that person, and you have already asked about it." ”

Zhao Xiongge: "Didn't force you to deal with me?"

"If he can't find the Grimoire, he won't kill you easily, that thing will work for him, he won't give up easily. Nantian Wufang replied casually, and then asked, "You are the last person to come into contact with the Holy Maiden, you really haven't seen the magic tome?"

Zhao Xiongge: "How many times have I said it, I really haven't seen it." ”

Nantian Wufang: "At least you are the one who is most likely to know the whereabouts of the Magic Codex." ”

"I don't know. Zhao Xiongge replied, raised his head and poured wine.

Nantian Wufang: "Be cautious in the future, otherwise you will cause trouble for yourself, he can't kill you but can imprison you." ”

Zhao Xiongge: "I can't watch the Shangqing Sect cut off the incense, right?"

Nantian Wufang: "It may not be to help him, it is estimated that the Ethereal Pavilion has already targeted him." ”

Zhao Xiongge smiled, "Are you worried about him, or are you worried about another person?"

"You're thinking too much. Nantian Wufang sighed lightly, snatched the wine gourd in his hand, and was not too dirty, raising his head and drinking.

After a hearty drink, the wine gourd was thrown back in a chic manner, and then there was something to say, "This time the situation is too big, I'm afraid you can't help him if you want to, he is really in trouble this time." ”

Zhao Xiongge hugged the wine gourd in his arms, shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, Dongguo Haoran has accepted a good apprentice." ”

......

"Girl, is it good-looking?"

Shang Shuqing was about to go to find Niu Youdao, and bumped into Guan Fangyi, who was also coming from this side, who shook the golden step on his head and asked.

Shang Shuqing stared at it for a while, but didn't find anything special, it was a golden hairpin that couldn't be golden, without any embellishment, pure gold.

Like the accessories of an ordinary landlord and an old rich lady, Shang Shuqing didn't know when her taste fell in love with such a vulgar thing, but she still nodded and smiled: "Anything looks good on the eldest sister's head." ”

"Duplicity. Guan Fangyi chuckled and pointed to the sky, "Vulgar is a bit vulgar, but it can be regarded as an eye-opener, which made that guy enlightened, and he actually knew to send me this kind of thing, which made me very happy." ”

Shang Shuqing was surprised, "Dao Ye sent it?"

Guan Fangyi: "Yes, don't you dare to believe it?"

Shang Shuqing couldn't help but look at the hairpin twice, but she was faintly envious.

At this moment, Niu Youdao came out of the courtyard with a leather bag, saw the two of them, and asked, "Are you talking bad about me behind your back again?"

"Be a thief!" Guan Fangyi snorted with disdain, twisted her waist, shook her fan, and shook the golden steps on her head and shook away.

The two watched for a while, Shang Shuqing came over, Niu Youdao looked at Guan Fangyi's back and sighed, "This woman, she knows how to be blind all day long, and she doesn't know how diligent she is, and her brain is not very good, I really doubt it, she has been in the land of tigers and wolves in Qijing for many years, and she is swaggering, how can she survive until now?"

Shang Shuqing pursed her lips and smiled, "The eldest sister is a blessed person. ”

In fact, she is really envious of Guan Fangyi, she found that Guan Fangyi and Niu Youdao are quite compatible, and the words and deeds of the two give people an illusion, as if the two are the same age, she has also been in contact with black peony, and she does not have this feeling in black peony and Niu Youdao.

After speaking, she stopped talking a little.

Niu Youdao looked at him and asked, "Something?"

Shang Shuqing tried to remind: "I heard that the reinforcements led by Su Qitong, the assassin of Haozhou, have been defeated by the rebels again, and this is already the third wave of defeated reinforcements. After saying that, I was a little observant.

Shang Chaozong was really anxious, he couldn't do it himself, so he secretly contacted his sister's side and asked his sister to find a way to persuade him.

Niu Youdao knew it in his heart when he heard it, and left after giving a word, "Wait, you have to be calm!"

Shang Shuqing saw him leave, lowered his head a little discouraged, and didn't dare to say anything more.

In front of Niu Youdao, she is becoming more and more stressed, even if Niu Youdao sits there quietly with her eyes closed and asks her to comb her hair, it will give her an inexplicable sense of pressure......

Niu Youdao, who left the villa, went straight to the guest house, and saw Yun Ji in the guest house with a veil on her face and refused to show her true face.

After the two sat down in the living room, Niu Youdao put the bag on the table, "This is the Lingyuan Pill for your cultivation, it should be enough for you for a while." ”

Yun Ji thanked her slightly, and asked, "How is that person's investigation?"

Niu Youdao: "Prepare for the worst." ”

Yun Ji was taken aback, "Is it really..."

Niu Youdao waved his hand to interrupt, some things can only be understood but not spoken, "The people led by Brother Yun Huan are still on the way, and it is estimated that they will arrive in a few days." There is also the ghost mother's side, who has already led the ghost cultivators of the Yin Mountain to come, in short, I will do all the play, you also have to act as if nothing happened, stay here and cultivate with peace of mind, I have already ordered someone to prepare a cave for you, and it will not delay your cultivation. ”

Yun Ji could only nod solemnly.
