A bright smile from the heart suddenly appeared on Shu Longxi's face, and his eyes were inexplicably moist.

Xia Pingan waved at her, and Shu Longxi waved at her. When Shu Longxi turned around and flew away again, his back suddenly felt a lot lighter.

After a while, Xia Pingan saw Shu Longxi flying to a distant mountain with beautiful lofts and high platforms, and was greeted by a crowd of people pouring out of it.

"This silly girl..." Xia Pingan smiled, shook her head slightly, then looked away, and flew towards the east of Longjiao City that Shu Longxi pointed at just now.

According to Xia Ping'an's habit, when he came here, he was not in a hurry to find a place. Instead, he first found a noisy and lively restaurant full of guests in the city, ordered some food in the restaurant, and ate while eating Listening to the discussions of the summoners in the restaurant, collecting useful information for him.

What Xia Pingan didn't expect was that the news that the Mad God had seriously injured Zu Motian had already spread widely, and almost everyone in Longjiao City knew about it.

Xia Ping secretly guessed that there might be other masters watching the earth-shattering battle from a distance that night, that's why the news spread so quickly.

In addition to this news, there is another piece of news that has something to do with Xia Ping'an, that is, there was a team of Blood Demon Sect troops in Longjiao City before, but I didn't expect that team to be sent by the Dashang Kingdom military in Longjiao City. A team of masters who entered the world of killing gods and insects met, and the two sides competed for several times here.

After the news that Zu Motian was seriously injured and escaped by the mad god came, just a week ago, the team of the Dashang Kingdom military raided the team of the Blood Demon Cult. The troops of the Blood Demon Cult suffered heavy losses and had to flee. Longjiao City, and the summoner team of the Dashang Kingdom military also evacuated from Longjiao City to avoid being retaliated by the Blood Demon Sect, and missed Xia Ping'an.

Many masters of the Blood Demon Sect have entered the world of killing insects these days, and Xia Pingan has not seen his face yet. Due to various reasons, many masters have been damaged, and even Zu Motian was severely injured by the mad god. Ping An deeply felt that he really came to the right place this time...

Many other news in the restaurant are also related to Wanshenxing and the ancient survivors. During the period when Xia Pingan and Shu Longxi were trapped in the land of the gods, the activities of the ancient survivors suddenly intensified. Primordial survivors can be seen in a few places, and many summoners have been murdered.

At this moment, the world of killing gods and insects, with the appearance of the mad god, is also undercurrents. Many summoners gathered in Longjiao City at this moment, discussing the crusade against the ancient survivors.

In addition, Xia Pingan has also heard some news about other trading world beads and auctions, and it is very rewarding. After eating a meal, Xia Pingan already has a general understanding of the current situation of Longjiao City. .

After eating and paying, Xia Pingan left the restaurant and flew directly towards the Iron Sword Peak that Shu Longxi had mentioned earlier, planning to find a place to stay first.

The Boundary Bead he got from Shu Longxi before has not yet fused...

Chapter 637

Iron Sword Peak, as the name suggests, is like an iron sword, steep and straight, pointing straight to the sky. Half of the peak of more than 5000 meters is already above the clouds, which looks quite ethereal, with a hint of immortality, and on the whole mountain, there are everywhere The pines and cypresses growing on the cliffs and mountain walls, dotted with artificial pavilions and lofts, look quite impressive.

And behind those pavilions and lofts, there are caves dug in the mountains.

The owner of Tie Jianfeng is the old man Tie Jian, the legendary summoner of the Nine Suns Realm, and a master of formations. He is only one step away from the demigod. Old Man Jian lives on the top of Iron Sword Peak. For summoners, this place is equivalent to a high-end hotel, where money is being made every day.

The reason why this place is famous is because of the rules established by the old man Iron Sword, no one should make things difficult for guests who enter Iron Sword Peak before they leave Iron Sword Peak.

This rule was established with the blood and heads of countless people who wanted to enter Iron Sword Peak to find trouble.

When Xia Pingan came to Iron Sword Peak, he found that outside the entire Iron Sword Peak, there was a large formation guarding the mountain with eight iron locks. It can be seen that the formation plate of Fengshan Great Formation is probably made by a master of formation technique. It will not take three or two years to refine a huge formation plate that can cover the entire mountain peak.

To enter Iron Sword Peak, you can only enter from the mountain gate under the peak, and then enter after going through the formalities, and it is the same when you leave. The management here is well-organized.

Those in charge of managing Iron Sword Peak are all summoned attendants, maids, housekeepers and the like. For a powerful summoner, one person can be a thousand troops, and it can also be a huge team.

Xia Pingan came to Iron Sword Peak, and after expressing his purpose, a summoned attendant led Xia Pingan towards the top of Iron Sword Peak.

Along the way, Xia Ping'an also saw some summoned craftsmen digging stone steps and arranging water features on Iron Sword Peak.

After a while, Tie Jianfeng's attendants brought Xia Pingan to the entrance of a cave.

The entrance of the cave is facing the southeast. There are several vigorous pine trees at the entrance, and there is a gazebo not far away. The nearest cave is more than 100 meters away. A few birds are chirping on the tree, which looks pretty good.

The waiter opens the door of the cave with a key, and enters more than 20 meters from the entrance, which is the cave. Things like that, there are also warm jade beds for meditation in the cave, and there are secret rooms where you can experiment with spells. It is indeed a good place for retreat and practice.

"Guest officer, this is Dongfu No. 77 of Iron Sword Peak. This cave can be used by one or two people. The fee here is 700 gold coins per day, excluding the rental fee of the Dongfu array. If the guest officer wants to rent We can provide Golden Crow Array, Liangyi Ice Fire Array, Hundred-legged Fire Dragon Array, Heavenly Armor Array and Thousand Illusion Sword Array for guests to choose from the arrays for guarding the cave, but different arrays have different charges. 100 gold coins per day, the highest is 1200 gold coins per day, of course, if the guest officer brings his own array, that’s fine too, there is also a guild hall and wine house available for rent on Iron Sword Peak, so it’s convenient for the guest officer to entertain guests here..."

The waiter was introducing Xia Ping'an.

Sure enough, they will do business, and the Array Cave Mansion will be leased separately! 700 gold coins a day may not seem high, but this is only for high-level summoners. In fact, this price is already sky-high in other places in the Yuanqiu world, in the secular world.

Xia Pingan looked at the cave and nodded, "I only need this cave, and I don't need the array!"

"Okay, our cave is rented out on a monthly basis. You can move in after paying at the counter. It costs 21000 gold coins per month. You can get a [-]% discount if you pay half a year, and a [-]% discount if you pay every year. You can get the key after paying the guest. , if you don’t have money, Tie Jianfeng also has a pawnshop, guest officers can use valuable Jiezhu, treasures or magic weapons as collateral..."

"Okay, then I'm going to be here!"

After watching the cave, Xia Pingan went to the front desk decisively and paid the one-year fee directly.

The main purpose of his retreat this time is to refine the hands of the body of the gods and spirits in his body. One year is definitely not enough. In addition, Zu Motian and the Blood Demon Cult failed to return in Longjiao City. It is absolutely impossible to come to Longjiao City again in a short time. , plus Longjiao City has a channel to get Jiezhu, so Xia Ping'an has already made a plan to concentrate on training and improving his strength in Longjiao City.

Especially the last time I saw the contest between Mad God and Zu Motian, Xia Pingan deeply felt that the so-called Tongyou Realm may be proud in front of low-level summoners, but in front of the real strong, the Seven Suns Realm is not enough Look, it's like an ant. After passing through the secluded realm, the first level is the first level and the second level is the difference between heaven and earth. He is still separated from the demigod realm by thousands of mountains and rivers, let alone a god, so the road is long and long Xi, we can only guard against arrogance and impetuosity, step by step.

Returning to Cave Mansion No. 77 of Iron Sword Peak, Xia Pingan has already taken the magic weapon key here and has become the owner here.

Opening the gate of the cave, Xia Pingan summoned the God of Fortune, walked around the cave, and found that there was no problem. He tried it, and there was no strong restriction in the mountain inside the Iron Sword Front. The technique can let him leave the cave at any time, so he is relieved.

Taking out an eight-level golden lock tortoise shell and five-element upside-down lost track chain array to activate and protect the cave, and then releasing a few puppet spiders, Xia Pingan finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and the whole person completely relaxed.

"Finally settled down for the time being..." Xia Pingan shook his head, smiled wryly, and then with a movement of his hand, he took out the Boundary Bead that he "robbed" from Shu Longxi earlier.

That Boundary Bead is dark red, it's not special, there are a few small characters in the Boundary Bead "Sima Yan chooses his daughter-in-law".

Xia Pingan took the Jiezhu and looked it over and over again, his head was full of historical materials and stories about Jinwu Emperor Sima Yan's selection of his daughter-in-law.

From a historical point of view, Sima Yan's selection of his daughter-in-law had a very far-reaching impact, because Sima Yan chose the wrong daughter-in-law, and the entire country and China paid a heavy price for it. It can be said that if Sima Yan If he didn't choose the wrong daughter-in-law for his son, and didn't overturn the first domino that pushed the country to self-destruction, then the tragedy of Wuhuhuahua and national catastrophe could very well be avoided.

The dark red brilliance of the Realm Bead was like a bride's head covering, and also like frozen blood.

"I really want...to kill the treacherous officials..." Xia Pingan took the boundary bead and pondered for a while, and said to himself, dripping a drop of blood, the whole person was wrapped in a layer of dark red light cocoon.

Chapter 638 Big Mistake

"Your Majesty, Xun Xu, the governor of Jibei County Hou Zhongshu, is asking to see you outside the hall!"

As soon as Xia Pingan opened his eyes, he saw a eunuch standing at the door and told him.

Xia Pingan looked around. This is a large hall. It should be the place where Jinwu Emperor Sima Yan usually handles government affairs in the palace. It is already night, because the candlesticks in the hall are lit with candles. The whole hall was brightly lit, there were two rows of guards standing at the entrance of the hall, and a eunuch in red was coming to the side of the hall, whispering.

Xia Pingan lowered his head again, and saw the thick long beard on his chin, wearing a yellow dragon robe, and holding a memorial in his hand. Second State Military.

Xia Pingan put down the memorial in his hand, glanced at the guards outside the palace, and asked the eunuch, "Who is in charge of the palace guard tonight?"

The eunuch who answered was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked this question, but he quickly replied, "The one who is guarding the palace city tonight is Sima Ji..."

Xia Pingan has no impression of who Sima Ji is. Even if Xia Pingan is a historian, it is impossible for him to know every person in history. The deep trust of Sima Yan made Xia Pingan feel at ease.

"Oh, I see, what happened to Xun Xu?"

"I heard what Mr. Xun said, it seems that he came here for the prince's marriage. Didn't your majesty ask Xun Xu to inquire about Jia Chong's daughter, Jia Nanfeng last time? I think Mr. Xun has news!" the eunuch said. Smiling, he glanced at Xia Pingan quietly, and was still pouring medicine on Xia Pingan with a low eyebrow, "The old slave also heard that Jia Chong's daughter, Janan, is beautiful, virtuous and virtuous, and everyone outside praises her. Your Majesty asked Master Xun to inquire, just to confirm..."

Xia Pingan took a deep look at the old eunuch, and sighed in his heart. Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan Yingming I, did not expect to be deceived by the villains around him, Xun Xu and the people next to him in the matter of choosing his daughter-in-law. , the three became tigers, and mistakenly chose Jia Chong's daughter, Jian Nanfeng, as the crown princess, which eventually led to the rebellion of the Eight Kings, severely hurt the vitality of the entire country, and cast an eternal mistake.

Without Jananfeng, there would be no chaos of the Eight Kings, and without the chaos of the Eight Kings, there would be no chaos of the Five Husbands.

It was because Sima Yan was deceived into choosing the wrong daughter-in-law that destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty and caused great disasters to the entire country and nation.

Choosing the wrong daughter-in-law, ruining the country, ruining the country, and almost destroying Huaxia's family, this kind of lesson is too tragic.

"Let Sima Ji come to see me!" Xia Pingan looked away, looked at the book, and ordered.

The eunuch saw that Sima Yan did not invite Xun Xu, the Marquis of Jibei Commandery, to meet him, but asked Wei Wei Sima Ji to come to see him, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurried down and ordered, who called Xia Pingan the emperor, the emperor wanted to see him It's normal for someone to miss someone and want someone to wait for a while.

Xia Pingan looked at Wei Guan's memorial. The characters on this memorial were flamboyant and phoenix-dancing, very muscular. At first glance, it was written by everyone. This Wei Guan's calligraphy is really good.

Looking at the handwriting on the memorial written by Sima Yan on the table, Xia Pingan nodded, picked up a pen and a piece of paper, and in the blink of an eye, wrote a few lines on the paper according to Sima Yan's handwriting, and then played Blow it to quickly dry the writing on the paper.

When the handwriting was dry, Xia Pingan folded the paper.

……

After a while, there was the sound of armor rubbing outside the hall, and a general was already standing outside the hall.

"Report to Your Majesty, General Sima is here!" The old eunuch came into the palace to report.

"Let him in!"

"Yes!"

After a while, a general in his thirties, wearing armor and a helmet, with a strong figure and thick eyebrows, strode into the hall, saluted Xia Ping'an, and said in a rough voice, "I will see your majesty." , Your Majesty, please redeem the humble minister, who is in armor and cannot salute!"

Xia Pingan looked at the armor on this man and knew that although Sima Ji was unknown in history, he was indeed a loyal, reliable and capable person. The armor on Sima Ji's body was extremely heavy, at least dozens of catties, and he had to put it on and take it off He was very tired. The general generals, guards guarding the palace at night and patrolling everywhere, might not be fully armed, but this Sima Ji was extremely honest, strict and not sloppy at all, and his strength should be good.

"You are here, I don't worry, the safety of the palace will be entrusted to you tonight, no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace without my order!" Xia Pingan stared at Sima Ji and confessed.

That Sima Ji was taken aback, but in an instant, he raised his head, his eyes flashed, and he clasped his fists to accept the order, "I obey!"

Xia Pingan came down from behind the table and came directly to Sima Ji's side, patted Sima Ji's shoulder for fear, and handed the note just written to Sima Ji, "Go, follow the instructions on the note." Order to sit down!"

That Sima Ji bowed, took the note with both hands, and slowly exited the hall.

The old eunuch had been peeking at the note Xia Pingan handed to Sima Ji just now, but Xia Pingan folded the note, and the old eunuch didn't see a word of what was written on the note.

After Sima Ji left the hall, Xia Pingan returned to the dragon chair on the long table, and said to the old eunuch, "Let Xun Xu in!"

"Yes!"

After a while, Xun Xu came in.

Xun Xu is no longer young. He walks with his eyes on the ground and never glances at random for fear of stepping on ants. He looks very cautious.

But such a person is one of the culprits and operators who almost destroyed China.

Why did Xun Xu deceive Sima Yan and insist on packing Jananfeng to Sima Yan as his daughter-in-law? The reason is because Xun Xu and Jananfeng’s father, Jia Chong, were in the same party. Ren Kai and Jia Chong were at odds and recommended Jia Chong to Qinliang in the northwest. The two prefectures serve as the governors, and the Qin and Liang prefectures have strong folk customs and many barbarians. Jia Chong did not want to leave the power center of the empire to take up the post in Qin and Liang prefectures. Then Xun Xu gave Jia Chong an idea: as long as your daughter marries To the prince, to become the prince's concubine, you are the prince's father-in-law, so naturally you don't have to go to the Qin and Liang states to take up the post.

Jia Nanfeng is the daughter of Jia Chong, with a vicious and tough personality and an ugly face, while the prince Sima Zhong is stupid, timid, cowardly and incompetent. At a critical moment in the fate of the Sima family's royal family, he was able to betray Sima Yan and the entire empire without hesitation for the sake of his own party.

Such a guy is also very accomplished in literary rhythm, just like Cai Jing's calligraphy is good, he interprets the state of a refined egoist to the extreme.

It is a disaster for the whole country for such people to enter the center, because in their hearts, everything can be sacrificed except themselves.

"Xun Xu sees Your Majesty..." Xun Xu, who entered the hall, saluted Xia Pingan in a respectful manner.

Normally, Sima Yan would let him be excused, but today was different, Xun Xu was there to salute, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear that Xia Pingan let him die.

There was silence in the hall!

Xun Xu maintained his posture of saluting. Xia Pingan didn't dare to straighten his waist when Xia Pingan didn't speak. After a while, a layer of cold sweat broke out from Xun Xu's temples, and his body trembled slightly.

"Okay, get flat!" Xia Pingan said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xun Xu wiped the cold sweat that just broke out on his forehead with his sleeve, took a peek at Xia Ping'an, and found that Xia Ping'an was reading the memorial, but looked at himself from the corner of his eye, looking a little careless, Xun Xu There was a sudden rush in his heart, but he just tried to calm himself down, secretly wondering if he had done something wrong recently to make His Majesty unhappy, but after thinking about it, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, so he calmed down a little.

"What's the matter with Xun Qing?" Xia Pingan put down the memorial and asked.

"Ahem, didn't Your Majesty ask me to inquire about Mrs. Jia's daughter, Jananfeng? I have already sent someone to find out, and I am about to report to Your Majesty!" Xun Xu said calmly.

"Oh, what's the result, let's hear it!" Xia Pingan seemed to be refreshed all of a sudden.

"Jianan's style is virtuous and virtuous, and the country is beautiful and heavenly. Master Jia has strict requirements on this daughter since she was a child, and asked her to learn rhythm and calligraphy since she was a child. Now she is a lady in Luoyang City, and she is a good match for the prince!"

Following Xun Qing's introduction, Xia Ping'an's gaze suddenly turned cold. He had warned Xun Qing just now, but Xun Qing was still greedy for profit, with a glib tongue, and if he wanted to deceive himself, then don't blame yourself.

Chapter 639 Three Treasures

Xia Pingan looked at Xun Xu, who was eloquent but cautiously promoting Jananfeng, his eyes gradually turned cold, but he smiled on his face, "According to Xun Qing, I heard rumors that Jananfeng There are five things that are not allowed, are they all lies?"

Before Sima Yan chose his daughter-in-law, Sima Yan had already heard some news about Jia Chong's daughter, Jananfeng. The so-called "five musts" refer to Jananfeng's "jealous personality, few sons, ugly appearance, short stature, thick and dark skin" , in ancient times, a woman with these "five must-nots" characteristics was generally ugly and poisonous to the extreme, and had no redeeming qualities.

It was such a woman who, under the packaging of a group of people, forcibly deceived Jinwu Emperor Sima Yan and became Sima Yan's daughter-in-law. According to etiquette, Sima Yan only had the opportunity to see what Jananfeng looked like after the prince got married. It's just that at that time, it was too late to change people. Prince Sima Zhong was stupid and cowardly.

Xun Xu didn't change his face, and bowed to Xia Ping'an with a straight face, "Your Majesty, those who say that Jananfeng has the 'five must's' are definitely slanderous words. Perhaps someone knew that His Majesty wanted to choose the Crown Princess, so they deliberately Your Majesty, please learn from the false news that has been spread!"

The "someone" Xun Xu mentioned was alluding to the general Wei Guan, because compared with Jia Chong, Wei Guan also had a daughter, who was the candidate for the crown princess that Sima Yan paid attention to, and Wei Guan's daughter, the wind commented Very good, compared with Jananfeng, he has the "five possible" features - a virtuous personality, a manly appearance, a beautiful appearance, a slender figure, and fair skin.

If Sima Yan chose Wei Guan's daughter when choosing his daughter-in-law, it is estimated that there would be no Eight Kings Rebellion and Five Husbands in the future.

This guy Xun Xu, while deceiving the saints, is still berating him.

Xia Pingan didn't say anything, just stood up, walked down from behind the table, directly passed Xun Xu who was still standing there, and walked towards the outside of the hall, "I want to take a look around the arsenal in the palace today, Xun Xu Come with me, sir..."

Xun Xu was stunned, and he didn't know why the emperor wanted to go to the arsenal tonight, but the arsenal was not a place that ordinary people could enter, it was a place where treasures were placed in the palace, it was impossible for ordinary people to go in and see, the emperor Inviting him to watch it together, Xun Xu thought it was a kind of "favor", so after a moment of surprise, he just followed Xia Ping'an and walked towards the arsenal.

A eunuch shouted in a drawn-out tone, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Put... Drive... Wu... Ku..."

When the eunuchs on guard duty outside heard that Xia Pingan wanted to go to the arsenal, they hurriedly lit up lanterns one by one, and the guards led the way, and a group of people headed towards the palace arsenal in mighty fashion.

"I don't know why Your Majesty is interested in setting up the arsenal tonight?" Xun Xu carefully followed Xia Ping'an, and asked respectfully.

"It's nothing, I suddenly want to see the Three Treasures of the Former Dynasty tonight..."

Xia Pingan was telling the truth. If he became Sima Yan this time, what he wanted to see the most was actually the three treasures of the Han Dynasty stored in the arsenal of the Jin Palace. The three treasures were Liu Bang The python-slaying sword used, Wang Mang's head, and the clogs of Confucius.

These three treasures have been stored in the palace since Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. They are the national treasures of the Han Dynasty. Random damage, according to the historical trajectory, until after Sima Zhong succeeded to the throne, because of the accident, the arsenal in the palace was on fire, and the three national treasures were completely lost and disappeared.

……

Xia Pingan didn't say a word all the way, and after more than ten minutes, he arrived at the palace arsenal.

"Your Majesty is coming..."
