[Thunderbolt Tobacco City] Ren Pingsheng, Nine Layers of Smoke and Snow

It was like thunder on the ground, but Nishinomiya Diaoying couldn't react.

Sitting across from him, Ben Xi-kun was as leisurely and calm as he was watching a play, enjoying the changing colors in his jade-like eyes. He even took out a brocade box from his sleeve generously. He jumped away, revealing a round ball embossed with gold and jade, steaming and smooth.

Nishinomiya Diaoying could already feel the blood resonance with Yuansheng Haohua ball, which is unique to the people of the four realms.And the great master in the cold window fame did not say a word, and even tacitly acquiesced in the authenticity of the four wonders and treasures.

Xigong Diaoying was so upset that he put down the tea bowl with a "bang", "Yuansheng Good Fortune Ball is an important weapon in the four realms, I don't know where Nihai Chongfan got it from?"

Bian Xijun replied frankly and ambiguously: "It was a coincidence, and it happened to me."

Nishinomiya Diaoying quickly sorted out the chaotic causal relationship.On that day, Tantai Wuzhu was ordered to intercept Shuang Yan Yueke and get the fortune ball, but Shuang Yan Yueke died, and his whereabouts were also unknown, so it can be seen that there are other people obstructing it.Now that the fortune ball is in the hands of the Black Sin Peacock, but judging from his tone, it seems that he obtained it accidentally through other channels.Moreover, if Tantai Wuzhu falls to Nihai Chongfan, with his ability, he will always inform Yandu, so that it won't be as if he has evaporated from the world.

But in any case, there is one thing, the fortune ball can't be wrong.

Xigong Diaoying made up his mind, and his clear voice was full of anger: "The fortune ball is true, but it is child's play for the emperor to exchange it for Yandu Dangong. Not to mention the high status of Dangong, how can he be a hostage of a foreign country? What's more, since Nihai Chongfan dared to take over this hot potato, he is of course confident that he can resist the invasion of Yandu in the future, so why show weakness early and make people look down upon him!"

Bian Xijun put away the Good Fortune Ball, sighed and smiled: "The master is eloquent, well-known all over the world, and black can be called white. In the current situation, you and I know that people don't speak secret words, and the city of smoke is 'invading troops'. I don't know what to do." Wait until what year and month; Nihai Chongfan wants to rebuild the prosperity of the year, and get rid of the troubles that can be avoided as soon as possible. It is only because the great master has become a habit of reaping profits. When I teach the Central Plains, I will not be disturbed by smoke and cold arrows. Besides, don't use such ugly words as "proton". Your Honor, I will definitely not humiliate and embarrass him."

Xigong Diaoying responded indifferently: "Nihai Chongfan himself wants to choose the Central Plains martial arts, it has nothing to do with the smoke, and the smoke will not be able to participate in the grand event."

"Why does Xigong reject people thousands of miles away? Yandu makes a deal with Nihai Chongfan, which is actually very beneficial. Yuansheng Fortune Ball is just a rock in my teaching, but what it means to you, I don't need to waste my words Come to introduce? Such a win-win deal, I believe the Grand Master will not miss it."

Xigong Diaoying took a deep breath, and turned her head to see the movement of the ancient mausoleum.But the great master remained silent, his thoughts were all blurred behind the blue smoke, and even he couldn't guess it.

He was inexplicably agitated, his hands tightly clenched in the sleeves of his large coat, and cold sweat was already dripping out layer by layer. "The smoke capital is full of gold and jade, and after unifying the four realms, it will be full of pearls and gems. Nihai Chongfan is calling for names and surnames to leave the Dan Palace. I'm afraid it's not as simple as keeping each other in check? You might as well tell the truth."

Ben Xi-kun half-draped his exaggerated long eyelashes, caressing the armor on his index finger. ——It can't be said that it is to help God Jiu practice and complete her "Punishment of Heaven", right?That day, Mr. Dongjing proposed to use the innate intuition and attainment of martial arts with the eyes of blood and tears to write a complete chapter based on the fragments of "Heaven's Punishment". As expected, Jiu Shenlian was moved, and he approved his proposal to trade Gong Wuhou with the fortune ball .But to the Holy Inquisitor, such an important thing as the Orb of Fortune cannot simply be used to repair the book.It is indeed a feasible idea to exchange Lai Gong Wu Hou. Not only can it avoid Yandu Huang Que, but it can also make Ni Hai Chongfan avoid the cooperation of Kunwu and Zhu Hong in the future. Brainwashing can also take advantage of the knot between the master and the apprentice to make him turn against each other.Of course, none of these things can be said.

"Xi Gong also said just now that Dan Gong has a respected status in Yandu, let alone a great master and beloved disciple. With his escort, the holy voyage against the sea and the sails will naturally be less stormy." His dark eyes fell on Xi Gong Diaoying There was a determined smile on the cold face, "I didn't intend to offend, but when it comes to this point, even Nishinomiya cannot be compared."

Xigong Diaoying's expression was normal, and he ignored the deliberate provocation, but for a while he couldn't figure out the loopholes in his words, and fell silent.

But the great master who had been on the sidelines finally said: "This is a big matter, Mr. Ben Xi is not in a hurry to give an answer right now?"

"Of course. Just don't take too long. After all, Nihai Chongfan doesn't understand the function of the good fortune ball. If it is left for a long time and accidentally damages one or two, I believe the great master will not like it." Bian Xi Junshun agreed. Shun Shen's robe, stood up leisurely, lifted his chin and said goodbye.

People leave the tea to cool down, and the cold window is silent.

Nishinomiya Diaoying still felt that there was a black hole remaining on the opposite nanmu chair, exuding the disgusting feeling of abalone, absorbing all his creepiness.

After a while, "What does Master think?" He asked with some fear.

"Change." The great master spoke elegantly, and his words were as decisive and crisp as ever, "Of course I change."

The bursts of trance, like heavy curtains, filtered the teacher's voice layer by layer, making it so unreal.

"Diao Ying, with your wisdom, you should know what to do next, right?"

Yes, as the owner of Yandu, every step after the opening of the transaction clearly jumped into his mind. He was too clear. Don't leave any clues to your opponents, and always exchange the smallest price for the greatest benefit... He is a big disciple taught by the master Yandu, and he knows the king's heart like the back of his hand, and he is very familiar with playing tricks.Over the years, he has been confident in his natural endowment, experienced and successful, always thinking about how to respond to the teacher's expectations for the new ruler.I know too well what to do next.

However, at the moment, these logical things are full of indecision.

He opened his mouth shyly, but pretended to be thoughtful: "The conflict between Nihai Chongfan and Zhengdao is on the verge of breaking out, and the timing is too sensitive now. Diao Ying feels that Yandu has just left an impression of not caring about world affairs to the outside world. There is no need to rush about the fortune ball."

Guling Shiyan calmly stroked the smoke: "Doing business with Nihai Chongfan does not conflict with Yan's position that he is not involved in the secular world. It just shows to the outside world that we only want to protect ourselves. What's more, this matter also You don’t have to do it with drums and gongs. You can decide for yourself.”

Xigong Diaoying paused for a moment, then carefully worded his words: "But it would be too rude for the other party to ask for Dangong. Besides, Dangong is well-respected in Yandu. If he enters another country as a hostage for the good luck ball, he may lose the support of the people. , making people criticize the great master's wisdom. Moreover, it will not look good when it is written in history books in the future."

Guling Shiyan squinted his eyes, squinted his sharp eyes, and carefully sized Xigong Diaoying's particularly thin side face, trying to see the reason for his rare hesitation: "Xigong, your words are really putting the cart before the horse. God It goes without saying that the four seasons act, when does the great master have to work hard to explain to his subjects? As for the words of Qingshi articles, it is even more absurd. These things that fall on paper are just used to deceive those pedantic people. How to write It's not that you have the final say, could it be that I gave up this great opportunity for your impartial writing?"

Nishinomiya Diaoying heard the displeasure in that tone, and instinctively withdrew all the probing words.

Obedience has become a habit, because he has completely inherited the philosophy of Master Yandu, because he is the master of Yandu, and because he does not want him to be disappointed.

"Diaoying understands." It was the first time he answered so depressedly.

After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of the steps: "Master! Let's not send Junior Brother there, shall we?"

Guling Shiyan was startled, full of doubts about the sad expression on that face.

"Of course, Diao Ying understands Master's intentions, but the body of a proton is no different from a prisoner. Junior brother, you have always loved him the most, how can you bear it?" He bowed deeply, "Since we already know that the Good Fortune Ball is sailing against the sea, There is always another way to get it, Diao Ying is willing to issue a military order, and will definitely get it back for the master. So, please don't send the younger brother there!"

Guling Shiyan was still immersed in the deep fluctuations brought by the good fortune ball. Hearing this sentence, he felt extremely disappointed: "Diao Ying, I remember that you stopped saying such childish words after you were ten years old."

Why does the person in front of me seem to have degenerated into a child again, always timidly kneeling in front of the soft red couch, and begging so pitifully, "Master, let's not send the younger brother into the building, okay?"

"This is a good move by Nihai Chongfan for us. If you want us to take a huge advantage, can you, the master, not be able to pay for this?"

Xigong Diaoying stood up and replied boldly: "At this moment, Diaoying is not the master of Yandu, but I am begging you as an unworthy person."

Guling Shiyan suddenly became angry: "What do you mean by 'unworthy disciples'? The unworthy disciples of the great master are those fools who entered the smokehouse at the same time as you, but were eventually discarded one by one! You want me to admit, Guling Shiyan Is the successor chosen after so much painstaking efforts the same as those trash?"

Xigong Diaoying had never heard the great master say such serious words to him, and there was a thunder in his ears, and he was dizzy on the spot, his lips were parched and his tongue was dry, his heart was filled with fear, and his internal organs were all clenched into a ball.

An all-too-understood truth, after he performed the coronation ceremony and bestowed the imperial title, there was only one identity left for him in the cold window of fame——the executor of the Grand Master's will.This is also the whole meaning of his overcoming so many difficulties and obstacles to today.Everything is as it should be.He has read so many history books, emperors and generals appear on the stage in full bloom, starting from the confrontation between Zhou and Zheng, whether it is a country of Wancheng or a small border country, for the sake of peace, for self-protection, for the crumbling trust, for the slim chance of survival, from Yan From Prince Dan to Shihuang's biological father, so many phoenix sons and grandchildren welcome and send off, what is the difference.

All of a sudden calm down.He bowed again, and said calmly: "Please excuse Diao Ying's slip of the tongue. The matter that Grand Master explained will definitely be properly arranged."

Gu Ling Shiyan saw that his eyes were glazed, and his tone of voice was filled with infinite weariness, which was exactly the same as the palaceless queen who had fainted in his arms that day.

Did these two people, one by one, make an appointment to overthrow his education?

A book, in a butterfly cover that is rarely seen today, with thick paper as the seal, mounted with red silk, and when sticking together sheets of rice paper as thin as cicada's wings, specially mixed with spices such as Zhulan and Huoxiang The paste is mixed with the smell of high-quality Hui ink, and a sword manual used to kill people like hemp has become poetic and bookish.

Gong Wuhou lit a pot of fire, slowly tore off the pages of the book one by one, and stretched them out to the jumping flames that seemed to be hungry for something.Zhu Rong's tongue, sensitively smelling the fragrance of bamboo, wood and vanilla, licking out the crispy taste of the ink-soaked paper, was so excited that he swallowed the beauty in three or two mouthfuls, spit out the charred leftovers, and then danced and asked for another feed a mouthful.

Liu Tian Sanqing Bian, who was in Daozhen's lineage and was comparable to the evil body of Demon and Buddha, was destroyed in a brazier on this day.

Zhu Han knelt aside, with tears on his face.

"My lord... My lord, go and beg Master Nishinomiya! As long as you open your mouth, Master Nishinomiya will definitely stop you!"

Gong Wuhou took a sip of the still slightly bitter smoke, and the burning and hoarse feeling stimulated him to cough, but he tried his best to hold it back. "Why are you crying, my son is only going out for three or five years. If you like it, you can stay in Ruanhong Shizhang, and West Palace will take care of you; if you hate this place, I will ask West Palace for you to let you leave the palace. You can have a good time with your father."

Zhu Han sniffled, choked up and couldn't speak: "Zhu Han is not going anywhere... Zhu Han has to wait for the young master to come back... Great Master is too cruel..."

Xigong Diaoying walked into Ruanhong Shizhang again after many days, and saw this scene at first, saw the flames shining on Gong Wuhou's pale face, and saw the black smoke swaying in the room. Nerves were touched, and the feet went limp, and confusion surged in front of his eyes, and he was so panicked that he couldn't even find his voice: "Junior Brother——!!"

"The West Palace is here." Gong Wuhou winked at Zhu Han, and tore another page in his hand.

He found it much more pleasant than cremating the butterflies in a small cluster of candles.The joy in the heart is directly proportional to the size of the fire. "Don't panic, Nishinomiya has never forgotten since he was a child. You have already read the formulas of the sword formation, and you just need to silently give it to the grand master. What I have revised every day since then are nothing more than some sword moves, but no matter how you change them, Putting it in front of the eyes of a grand master is still a trivial skill."

His words were like smooth waves, but when he listened to Xigong Diaoying, every word and every sentence was sharp and painful.

He ignored the rising pillar of fire and rushed forward to snatch the book.He felt like he was going crazy.

What Gong Wuhou saw was that he was rushing straight into the sea of ​​flames, she was startled, and instinctively jumped in front of him, stretched out her hand and pushed him away.

Xigong Diaoying bumped into the rosewood dressing table at the side, and the Linghua bronze mirror fell in response, with a loud bang, and then he saw the moment of the conflict, the book fell out of Gong Wuhou's hands and fell into the In the fire.The burning process was as quick and gentle as if it was melting, and the leftover pages quickly burned into black layers from the edges, pushing them to the core of the page. It looked so much like the rumored famous flower...the burnt bone peony...

He didn't know what this deep pain was, as if people were getting old at this moment, and all the days and nights of the falling flowers were burned here, and they were no longer the same.

Maybe life is like this.

We must meet for separation, know each other for forgetting, and put you in the corner of the atrium that never sees the sun, and spend the best time to recite your name over and over again.

no descendants...

Through the bright flames, he heard Gong Wuhou finally speak in relief:

"In this world, only the most outstanding works have the value of being destroyed."
