The looted stronghold is also in line with the style of the Eternal Night Palace's extrajudicial place. The shops facing the street were strictly interrogated and questioned. Several people took the first step to turn back into the shop through the back window. The closed sign was still hanging firmly, neighbors She Jie heard the news of the attack on the Yongye Palace, and the shopkeeper of the makeup shop stood at the door looking nervously and curiously.
Most of the guests went to restaurants and inns to take refuge temporarily. There were very few pedestrians on the street, and most of them spoke in a contemptuous tone and sentenced those who dared to attack the Yongye Palace to death.
Ye Yunzhou leaned against the window, opened the window slightly, and heard two onlookers guessing what a tragic execution scene the Eternal Night Palace would hold to scare others, it is best not to charge tickets.
Mu Linjiang sat directly behind the counter, closing his eyes and resting his mind seemingly disapproving of the search. Ye Yunzhou guessed that he was adjusting his breath, and began to order Su Li and Huo Fengting.
"There is not much time. Brother Huo and Young Master Su are going to find a hidden place in the house. I will disguise myself as the shopkeeper here. I will deal with it when the guards arrive." Ye Yunzhou entered the counter and dragged Mu Linjiang along with the chair. Go to the side, open the door of the basement, the shopkeeper is still unconscious on the stairs.
Su Li suggested that he go to the basement, and Huo Fengting go upstairs. The two went to find suitable places for Tibetans. Ye Yunzhou dragged the shopkeeper out, took off his coat and tied it to a chair with local materials. He took out a needle and pierced it into the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper yelled subconsciously after waking up, Ye Yunzhou bent over and covered the shopkeeper's mouth, and put on a gentle smile under his horrified eyes.
"Shh, don't shout, think about it before you speak, or I will cut your tongue." Ye Yunzhou threatened calmly, "Just nod if you understand."
The shopkeeper nodded, and Ye Yunzhou continued to ask, "Where is the license, where is the ledger? What is the code word for the routine questioning by the guards of the Eternal Night Palace? Is there a secret room in the house?"
"Xu... the license is in the drawer of the counter. You can check the accounts directly with the hidden mirror on the table. The code word is... it is yesterday's date." , I’m just a shopkeeper, I don’t know anything!”
"Really? Throw away the jade slip in your hand." Ye Yunzhou put his left hand on the Ruoshui sword at his waist, and pushed away a section of the sword with his thumb, revealing the sharp edge, "It's not that easy to lie to me."
The shopkeeper raised his heart, and the hands tied behind the chair were struggling to touch the jade slips in the sleeves, but Ye Yunzhou did not expect to see it. He forced himself to be calm and said, "Who are you? Even if you rob my shop, you I can't escape!"
Mu Linjiang by the counter wall opened his eyes a little, and said lazily: "Do you need help?"
"You should just rest." Ye Yunzhou rebuffed straight away, "You won't let me take this box, I'm still worried about it until now, try it on the spot and you'll be okay with it."
Mu Linjiang closed his eyes again, and was quarreled for almost a quarter of an hour by the muffled whine of the shopkeeper. Ye Yunzhou was satisfied to get the answer he wanted. stand up.
"Give me a reliable magic weapon for disguise." Ye Yunzhou said while wiping his hands.
Mu Linjiang straightened up and looked up at him. The shopkeeper's brown robe with wishful patterns was a bit old-fashioned, and the sleeves were too long, which didn't suit Ye Yunzhou well. Ye Yunzhou simply rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thin and fair wrists.
"My technique is more reliable." Mu Linjiang retracted his gaze, beckoned Ye Yunzhou to come closer and bowed his head, stretched out his index finger to press on the center of Ye Yunzhou's eyebrows.
Ye Yunzhou felt a layer of gentle water flowing over his face, gradually condensed and shaped, a little weird, he couldn't help moving, Mu Linjiang grabbed the back of his head and pressed back.
"Aren't you alright?" Ye Yunzhou said vaguely, feeling a subtle sense of confinement as if his face was covered with a mask.
Mu Linjiang raised the corner of his mouth, then retracted it immediately, brushed his fingertips from the corners of Ye Yunzhou's eyes to his cheeks, and said seriously: "There are still a few details."
"I saw you smiling." Ye Yunzhou stared at him, "You are definitely teasing me."
"Don't talk, it will affect my creation." Mu Linjiang told him to shut up solemnly. After making the beard and wrinkles just right, he held Ye Yunzhou's chin with one hand to admire, "Well, except for the short point, everything is perfect."
"...I'll cut off your leg when I get out." Ye Yunzhou slapped his hand away angrily, and glanced at him from the corner of his eye. Su Li, who had just come up from the basement, pointed at him, dumbfounded.
"It really looks like it!" Su Li walked over to look at Ye Yunzhou, "I can't see it at all!"
Mu Linjiang stood up and patted Ye Yunzhou on the shoulder. Ye Yunzhou frowned and coughed twice. There seemed to be something in his throat. When he opened his mouth, his voice became thick and rough like a shopkeeper.
"Young people, calm down, don't be surprised all the time, what's the business?" Ye Yunzhou said old-fashionedly against the shopkeeper's middle-aged face.
Su Li froze for a moment, patted his head, the clothes on his chest bulged twice, he carefully took out the things he was carrying in his arms, and flaunted: "Look, this is a golden velvet rabbit that is priceless, but it is actually sold by The shopkeeper is locked in a cage in the basement, it’s a waste of money, you should arrange two special servants to accompany it to run, otherwise it will be depressed.”
The corner of Ye Yunzhou's mouth twitched. The snow-white rabbit in Su Li's arms was a circle bigger than ordinary rabbits. There were two bright golden lines from the erected long ears to the eyes. It was very beautiful.
"So have you found a suitable place to hide?" Ye Yunzhou asked.
"Uh..." Su Li patted the rabbit hesitantly, "It should be kept in a cage that can hold a person."
Ye Yunzhou shook his head and sighed with heartache. Huo Fengting also came down from the stairs at this moment. Ye Yunzhou pinned his hopes on him. Just as he was about to ask questions, Huo Fengting took the initiative to raise the wine jar in his hand.
"Look, what is this?" Huo Fengting lifted the wine jar and said excitedly, "50-year-old wine! Although the age is a little less, it can be used as it is. Who wants to drink it? I'm happy today, we won't go home if we don't get drunk .”
Ye Yunzhou: "..." Where are you going?
Ye Yunzhou reminded: "Brother Huo, we are wanted by Eternal Night Palace now, shouldn't we politely hide?"
"It's useless how many of those trash come here." Huo Fengting wiped his nose disdainfully.
"Brother Huo, I know you are strong, so you don't take the guards of Eternal Night Palace seriously." Ye Yunzhou tried hard to persuade, "But now that the barrier that blocks the entire Eternal Night Palace has been opened, even if you can break the barrier forcibly Going out will inevitably expose your identity, when Huo Fenglin receives the news, if the control doctor is going to threaten you, can you rush to rescue him in time?"
Huo Fengting immediately turned off the fire: "Brother Ye is right."
"Now we are misleading Yongye Palace. He will only think that it was the Su family who did it, and he will not think that it was you. Brother Huo is also taking advantage of this time difference to secretly go to Mount Buyi to meet Yi Wushou. At that time, Huo Fenglin will not be able to So you two are threatening each other." Ye Yunzhou said rationally.
"Okay, Brother Ye is smart, I'll listen to your arrangement." Huo Fengting put the wine jar on the counter, "I'll drink it after they finish checking."
Ye Yunzhou rubbed his temples and found that Mu Linjiang had been looking at him with some undisguised inquiry in his eyes. He emphasized to Mu Linjiang: "I really have no other purpose. Brother Huo suffered injustice. I just want to It's just helping him... how come you hugged him!"
The golden velvet rabbit that Su Li was holding ran into Mu Linjiang's arms at some point, and the picture of Mu Linjiang touching the rabbit's back was so harmonious that he didn't notice it for a while.
"Do you want it?" Mu Linjiang handed the rabbit forward, "You can't pick up the ears."
"... Forget it." Ye Yunzhou waved his hand exhaustedly, the noise outside the door was getting louder, he turned to the counter and took out the pen and paper in the drawer to pretend, "Young masters, what do you want? Hide as you please."
When Mu Linjiang stepped onto the second floor, Su Li looked like he really wanted to get into the cage. Huo Fengting fished him back, pointed to Mu Linjiang to follow, and said in a low voice, "He has a lot of tricks, let's try some tricks or something." .”
Ye Yunzhou felt that he really looked like an overworked middle-aged man, and wanted to save Mu Linjiang some energy so that he would not use his spiritual power for big and small things, but Mu Linjiang himself didn't seem to care at all.
The team of six people who came to interrogate Ye Yunzhou scanned it twice with the magic weapon of detection, and carefully compared it with the booklet in his hand. next one.
After the guards checked the nearby houses and walked away, Mu Linjiang came down from the upstairs, calmly said: "It's hard work."
Ye Yunzhou just wanted to roll his eyes: "Now we are safe for the time being, it's time to get down to business."
Huo Fengting was thinking about the wine at the counter, came over to pat open the mud seal and raised his head to drink, thought for a while and said, "I went to the kitchen and made an order for you, do you want a glass or a bowl?"
Mu Linjiang said calmly, "I want tea."
Huo Fengting frowned and said: "Brother, you are not giving face."
Ye Yunzhou: "..."
Ye Yunzhou knocked on the counter, he could understand that Huo Fengting was excited just after he got out of prison, but what kind of mentality did Mu Linjiang have to follow suit.
Ye Yunzhou coughed dryly: "Brother Huo, why did we come to Yongye Palace, we have to start with Yinmu Stone."
There was a strong smell of wine in the air, Huo Fengting waved his hand and said: "Talk while drinking, what's the business without wine! Let's go."
Su Li poked his head on the stairs and shouted: "Brother Huo, I've taken the bowls and chopsticks away, nothing else!"
Ye Yunzhou: "..."
Ye Yunzhou got up and said angrily: "Give me an altar, and I won't return today if I'm not drunk."
Mu Linjiang smiled in a low voice, Ye Yunzhou passed by him, and frowned, warning: "I want you to encourage evil spirits, if you don't have your tea, give me a drink."
"If I make a slip of the tongue after drinking, Mr. Ye don't take it seriously." Mu Linjiang raised his hand to remove Ye Yunzhou's disguise, his tone was calm and seemed to have deep meaning.
Ye Yunzhou snorted: "It's almost like uttering the truth after drinking, but I would like to see you drinking crazy."
"How is Young Master Ye drinking?" Mu Linjiang looked sideways at him, "If you're drunk, will you mention me?"
Ye Yunzhou was silent for a while: "I have never been drunk, I have always been sober."
"Hmph, maybe not." Mu Linjiang turned his hands away and walked into the kitchen on the second floor. There were two tables put together in the middle of the kitchen. Each person poured a bowl, and brought out the freshly heated beef from the pot.
It was rare for Ye Yunzhou to mourn for the shopkeeper. Not only did they really use the store as their base, but they also used their kitchen to eat their food.
The beef was cut in Huo Fengting's bold and unrestrained style. Ye Yunzhou, who thinks he is meticulous, has no appetite, so he sat down opposite Mu Linjiang.
"Master Ye." Mu Linjiang leaned back in his chair and glanced at his bowl.
"Palace Master, you don't fit in well." Ye Yunzhou reprimanded him, but he changed a cup for him in the cupboard.
In order to avoid accidentally seeing Mu Linjiang's eyes, Su Li chose to sit next to him. As soon as he sat down, Huo Fengting raised his bowl and began to give a speech before the banquet. Su Li quickly stood up too.
"Palace Master Mu knows, I'm careless and careless, I don't have much to say, I don't want to say much thank you, and Palace Master Mu is not lacking. Anyway, there is something useful for my brother, so just open your mouth!" Li and Ye Yunzhou clinked their glasses to save face, Mu Linjiang looked at him and Huo Fengting didn't care, he drank it up and refilled it, Mu Linjiang slowly picked up his glass and took a sip.
"Today is in the enemy's camp. It is a friend in need. I have my old friend, Palace Master Mu, and my little... new friends, Brother Ye and Brother Su. This is a day worth remembering. I will do it again." Huo Fengting raised his hand. Picking up the bowl, this time Mu Linjiang finally gave him the honor to clink a glass with him. He said excitedly, "Palace Master Mu, good brother! When I am happy, I talk a lot. Please bear with me, I will punish myself first."
Ye Yunzhou also drank two bowls. He didn't show the mountain or the water, and there was no change on his face. Mu Linjiang listened to Huo Fengting's chatter, but he became quieter. He sat at the table with his cup in his hands, his head slightly lowered Like an elegant sculpture.
"Young Master Su, don't just eat by yourself, the Palace Master can't reach him, so he's too embarrassed to pinch it." Ye Yunzhou teased with a smile, "He's a vegetarian."
Mu Linjiang finally raised his head to look at him helplessly, Su Li suddenly realized, reached out and moved the two side dishes to Mu Linjiang's table, took a bowl and said tentatively: "Brother Mu saved my life, then I won't say much, it's useful Just say it where you are watching me! I respect you a bowl."
Su Li was ready to drink in embarrassment when no one answered, but Mu Linjiang raised his glass as a signal, and took a delicate sip.
He started this, and Ye Yunzhou started to have a bad taste, and Huo Fengting and Su Li made up all kinds of reasons to respect him. No matter how little Mu Linjiang drank, the glass would soon be drained.
"The palace master cares about the common people and does not care about fame and fortune. He is worthy of admiration. Cheers."
"I didn't expect that Brother Mu also likes flowers, birds, insects and fish, fellows, cheers!"
"Brother's Destroying God Art, the world changes color, and any cultivation state or sinking state will have to be slightly reduced. Cheers!"
The so-called sorrow is broken and there is no reason to get drunk. Maybe happy people are prone to drinking too much. Mu Linjiang doesn't admit it and doesn't think he is so happy, but the wine bowls offered by the surroundings are all sincere, and no one is nervous during the banquet Dodging, and no one deliberately flattered him, Ye Yunzhou touched the rim of his cup and said with a smile: "I can't make up anymore, cheers?"
Mu Linjiang was in a daze for a moment, then said in a low voice, "... Cheers."
He looked at the bottom of the empty glass again, and just as he was going to get the wine jar, Ye Yunzhou stood up and held down his wrist, cleared his throat and said: "Okay, the capacity for alcohol is so bad, if you drink any more, it will delay your business. "
Mu Linjiang blinked his eyes and thought that he couldn't hear anything now, his eyes were a little blurry, so he put down his wine glass and leaned back on the chair to close his eyes. Su Li was already swaying and hugging the empty altar like a rabbit, only Huo Fengting and Ye Yunzhou were still awake with.
"Brother Huo, it's a long story, but it's not difficult to sum it up." Ye Yunzhou shook the bowl in his hand, trying to show a bit of strategizing, "There is a ghost cultivator whose name is unknown, secretly occupying control Qiao Xinyue, the Hall Master of the Sword Pavilion of Autumn Water, wanted to gather together the Eternal Day Lantern, the Nightfall Stone and the Longevity Fire. Among them, the Nightfall Stone was guessed to be in the hands of Huo Fenglin. Yin Si, Wei Yi escaped, so he threatened the palace owner with Lord Yin's safety to get the Dusk-Bringing Stone for him. Lord Yin is plotting to lurk by his side as an undercover agent. We found this place based on the information Wei Yi escaped, looking for clues to the Dusk-Bringing Stone. I met Brother Huo by accident."
Ye Yunzhou spoke briefly, Huo Fengting was stunned for a moment, and asked: "What does the second brother want that broken stone for?"
"Probably to build weapons." Ye Yunzhou guessed, "We once rescued the descendant of the casting master who escaped from Lingya City, and got a sword containing a twilight stone as a gift from her. Is Huo Fenglin as obsessed with swords as the rumors are now? Law?"
"Second brother's talent is no worse than mine. When I was alive, I didn't treat my second brother very much. My second brother practiced harder than me and never left his sword. Even though he is now delving into crooked ways, his interest in swords should not change." Huo Fengting's face darkened slightly.
"Since we are brothers, why do we still have preference?" Ye Yunzhou asked.
Huo Fengting scratched his hair: "My mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to us. My second brother was born a day later than me. Although my mother was rescued, she was still in poor health. I passed away when I was three years old."
"I see, I'm sorry." Ye Yunzhou lowered his head, "Ghost cultivators can scatter remnant souls and hide in various places. If news spreads, it may cause panic among everyone and cause unnecessary suspicion and loss. Return to Lord Yin, collect all three keys to lure Ghost Xiu to the door and eliminate him head-on, and don’t want to interfere with the internal issues of Lingya City. Brother Huo and Huo Fenglin will make a settlement, close the Eternal Night Palace, and severely punish the relevant people. I believe Lord Yin will not Opinion."
Mu Linjiang has been listening to the conversation between Ye Yunzhou and Huo Fengting intermittently. He feels that something is wrong. Ye Yunzhou didn't say anything about his own thoughts.
Mu Linjiang wanted to say something serious, but it was too late to raise his spirits at this time. The strong wine seemed to flow in every inch of his blood, convincing his body to let him just relax and fall into a dream without worry .
There is no distinction between day and night in the Eternal Night Palace, but the sundial still does. Ye Yunzhou took a look at Mu Linjiang when he carried him back to the bedroom. The crystal pointer cast a slowly moving shadow on the stone slab, and it was almost three o'clock in the middle of the night.
Huo Fengting and Su Li lay directly in the kitchen, he didn't intend to care about the two of them, he twisted the veil and rubbed Mu Linjiang's face all over, put them on the bed, took out the recliner and put it under the back window beside the bed, adjusted After resting for a long time to remove the smell of alcohol, after washing up, I pasted a few talismans downstairs to ensure vigilance before going back to rest.
Ye Yunzhou originally wanted to keep himself, a sober person, in case of emergencies, but as soon as he lay down completely, his injured leg seemed to be aching again. He listened to Mu Linjiang's gentle breathing and the noise outside the window as usual. Driving inside and out, he suddenly had the illusion that this place was a safe haven.
Not long after, Ye Yunzhou also fell asleep.
Maybe it was too indulgent before.
Ye Yunzhou looked at the banquet in the courtyard with a strange atmosphere through a gap, he suddenly realized that he was dreaming, he drank too much before going to bed, and ended up drinking in his dream.
He wanted to leave here, but he couldn't move, so he continued to look in. He probably didn't know the people at the long table in the courtyard, but he always felt familiar. He saw Mu Linjiang under the tree. Even though he was covered with a layer of black veil, he could be sure that this person with aloof and quiet temperament was Mu Linjiang.
Mu Linjiang was drinking, as expected of a dream.
Ye Yunzhou wanted to laugh, Huo Fengting held the wine jar and clinked glasses with Mu Linjiang, Mu Linjiang only took a sip, Huo Fengting directly used the jar, and moved to the next table while drinking.
Then he saw the person closest to Mu Linjiang stand up, raised his glass and walked towards the opposite side, and exchanged greetings with a smile on his face, but he frequently looked under the flower tree from the corner of his eyes.
Ye Yunzhou didn't know how long he had been watching, and he didn't have any concept of time in his dream. When he regained his clear mind, the bustle of the courtyard had disappeared, and Mu Linjiang was still sitting there, taking off his veiled hat and leaning against the flowers under the bright moon. Shu, probably fell asleep, let go of the wine glass in his hand little by little, overturned on the table, rolled to the ground together with the remaining half of the glass of wine, and wet his clothes.
Ye Yunzhou's heart suddenly tugged, and then he remembered to think about why he had to look through a gap. It was like a gap in a door. He had been standing behind this gap and staring at Mu Linjiang for an unknown amount of time. Time, why didn't he go up and talk to him?He didn't know, it was a dream after all, and he couldn't think too much.
At this moment, a crisp sound exploded in his ears real and clearly.
Ye Yunzhou suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the hilt of the sword beside him, turned over from the recliner, and looked towards the dark center of the bedroom.
Mu Linjiang supported the table as if he wanted to pour water, but his hands were trembling and he couldn't hold the kettle steadily.
"Palace Master? Haven't you sobered up yet?" Ye Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief, put down the Ruoshui sword and went over, "You only had three cups."
When he got closer, he realized that Mu Linjiang's face was flushed and his eyes were brighter than usual.
Ye Yunzhou quickly took a step back, thinking that this cephalosporin would go well with wine: "Have you had an attack on a good night on the seventh day? Don't scare me, aren't you suppressing it?"
Mu Linjiang clenched his fist and smashed it on the water glass, the porcelain cracked and scratched his fingers several times, the blood soon stained the tablecloth red, he was a little out of breath, his voice was slightly hoarse: "Maybe it's...Xuanxiyuan...you first Just leave, I will adjust my breath, don't worry."
"I can't even pour a glass of water, so don't worry?" Ye Yunzhou raised his eyebrows, but instead locked the door and drew a sound-proof array.
Mu Linjiang raised his head, his eyes were bright purple and pitch black repeatedly intertwined, he took a breath silently, and growled: "If you tell you to go, don't talk nonsense! Otherwise, I won't promise what I will do!"
"Heh, can you guarantee that you will not do anything last time? It is not up to your order whether I go or stay." Ye Yunzhou sneered, took the Ruoshui sword with his hand, and threw it at the table. Most of the blade sank into the solid wood, leaving behind The hilt of the sword trembled uncontrollably, "Here is my sword, try whatever you dare to do."
Mu Linjiang closed his eyes, sat down slowly while leaning on the table, and sighed after a while: "I don't want to hurt you, so I beg you...get out of here."
Ye Yunzhou was a bit surprised. It was the first time Mu Linjiang lowered his tone and posture, but it aroused his interest. He walked around the table and looked at him leisurely: "Master, what are you afraid of? Compared with the seven days and nights at the beginning On the night of the attack, there was neither injury nor lack of spiritual power, so why didn't you dare to let me stay?"
Mu Linjiang frowned deeply, turning up his sleeves to transform into a spring moon, turning the tip of the umbrella to stab himself.
Seeing this, Ye Yunzhou stepped in front of Mu Linjiang, and directly put his hand on Mu Linjiang's shoulder. Mu Linjiang suddenly stopped, and said angrily, "Ye Yunzhou! What do you want to do!"
"You can pierce my hand and hurt yourself, why not?" Ye Yunzhou stared at his bloodshot eyes, "I don't care about this little injury."
"I said I didn't want to hurt you." Mu Linjiang threw down his umbrella, he was tortured by Ye Yunzhou, he had no way out, he reached out and grabbed Ye Yunzhou's wrist and squeezed it tightly, "If you don't want to leave, stay away and don't speak again. "
Ye Yunzhou was pulled by him and leaned slightly, holding the handle of the sword on the table with his left hand to keep his balance, looking at the struggling look in Mu Linjiang's eyes with great interest, he half-jokingly said: "Master, do you really like me? It is said that the deeper the emotion, the more restrained it is, unexpectedly Gong... Hey."
As soon as his teasing words came out, Mu Linjiang suddenly let go of him, pushed himself up against the table and returned to the bed, closed his eyes and meditated to adjust his breath.
"Hey, talk." Ye Yunzhou held the hilt of the sword hard and split the entire round table, "I'm just kidding, are you kidding me too?"
"...Well, just kidding." Mu Linjiang bit his lip and swallowed a mouthful of fishy sweetness.
The author has something to say: warm reminder
Although strong wine is good, don't be greedy
Persuading people to drink is not good, only for practitioners
Don’t worry, it’s really not abuse_(:з”∠)_
Most of the guests went to restaurants and inns to take refuge temporarily. There were very few pedestrians on the street, and most of them spoke in a contemptuous tone and sentenced those who dared to attack the Yongye Palace to death.
Ye Yunzhou leaned against the window, opened the window slightly, and heard two onlookers guessing what a tragic execution scene the Eternal Night Palace would hold to scare others, it is best not to charge tickets.
Mu Linjiang sat directly behind the counter, closing his eyes and resting his mind seemingly disapproving of the search. Ye Yunzhou guessed that he was adjusting his breath, and began to order Su Li and Huo Fengting.
"There is not much time. Brother Huo and Young Master Su are going to find a hidden place in the house. I will disguise myself as the shopkeeper here. I will deal with it when the guards arrive." Ye Yunzhou entered the counter and dragged Mu Linjiang along with the chair. Go to the side, open the door of the basement, the shopkeeper is still unconscious on the stairs.
Su Li suggested that he go to the basement, and Huo Fengting go upstairs. The two went to find suitable places for Tibetans. Ye Yunzhou dragged the shopkeeper out, took off his coat and tied it to a chair with local materials. He took out a needle and pierced it into the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper yelled subconsciously after waking up, Ye Yunzhou bent over and covered the shopkeeper's mouth, and put on a gentle smile under his horrified eyes.
"Shh, don't shout, think about it before you speak, or I will cut your tongue." Ye Yunzhou threatened calmly, "Just nod if you understand."
The shopkeeper nodded, and Ye Yunzhou continued to ask, "Where is the license, where is the ledger? What is the code word for the routine questioning by the guards of the Eternal Night Palace? Is there a secret room in the house?"
"Xu... the license is in the drawer of the counter. You can check the accounts directly with the hidden mirror on the table. The code word is... it is yesterday's date." , I’m just a shopkeeper, I don’t know anything!”
"Really? Throw away the jade slip in your hand." Ye Yunzhou put his left hand on the Ruoshui sword at his waist, and pushed away a section of the sword with his thumb, revealing the sharp edge, "It's not that easy to lie to me."
The shopkeeper raised his heart, and the hands tied behind the chair were struggling to touch the jade slips in the sleeves, but Ye Yunzhou did not expect to see it. He forced himself to be calm and said, "Who are you? Even if you rob my shop, you I can't escape!"
Mu Linjiang by the counter wall opened his eyes a little, and said lazily: "Do you need help?"
"You should just rest." Ye Yunzhou rebuffed straight away, "You won't let me take this box, I'm still worried about it until now, try it on the spot and you'll be okay with it."
Mu Linjiang closed his eyes again, and was quarreled for almost a quarter of an hour by the muffled whine of the shopkeeper. Ye Yunzhou was satisfied to get the answer he wanted. stand up.
"Give me a reliable magic weapon for disguise." Ye Yunzhou said while wiping his hands.
Mu Linjiang straightened up and looked up at him. The shopkeeper's brown robe with wishful patterns was a bit old-fashioned, and the sleeves were too long, which didn't suit Ye Yunzhou well. Ye Yunzhou simply rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thin and fair wrists.
"My technique is more reliable." Mu Linjiang retracted his gaze, beckoned Ye Yunzhou to come closer and bowed his head, stretched out his index finger to press on the center of Ye Yunzhou's eyebrows.
Ye Yunzhou felt a layer of gentle water flowing over his face, gradually condensed and shaped, a little weird, he couldn't help moving, Mu Linjiang grabbed the back of his head and pressed back.
"Aren't you alright?" Ye Yunzhou said vaguely, feeling a subtle sense of confinement as if his face was covered with a mask.
Mu Linjiang raised the corner of his mouth, then retracted it immediately, brushed his fingertips from the corners of Ye Yunzhou's eyes to his cheeks, and said seriously: "There are still a few details."
"I saw you smiling." Ye Yunzhou stared at him, "You are definitely teasing me."
"Don't talk, it will affect my creation." Mu Linjiang told him to shut up solemnly. After making the beard and wrinkles just right, he held Ye Yunzhou's chin with one hand to admire, "Well, except for the short point, everything is perfect."
"...I'll cut off your leg when I get out." Ye Yunzhou slapped his hand away angrily, and glanced at him from the corner of his eye. Su Li, who had just come up from the basement, pointed at him, dumbfounded.
"It really looks like it!" Su Li walked over to look at Ye Yunzhou, "I can't see it at all!"
Mu Linjiang stood up and patted Ye Yunzhou on the shoulder. Ye Yunzhou frowned and coughed twice. There seemed to be something in his throat. When he opened his mouth, his voice became thick and rough like a shopkeeper.
"Young people, calm down, don't be surprised all the time, what's the business?" Ye Yunzhou said old-fashionedly against the shopkeeper's middle-aged face.
Su Li froze for a moment, patted his head, the clothes on his chest bulged twice, he carefully took out the things he was carrying in his arms, and flaunted: "Look, this is a golden velvet rabbit that is priceless, but it is actually sold by The shopkeeper is locked in a cage in the basement, it’s a waste of money, you should arrange two special servants to accompany it to run, otherwise it will be depressed.”
The corner of Ye Yunzhou's mouth twitched. The snow-white rabbit in Su Li's arms was a circle bigger than ordinary rabbits. There were two bright golden lines from the erected long ears to the eyes. It was very beautiful.
"So have you found a suitable place to hide?" Ye Yunzhou asked.
"Uh..." Su Li patted the rabbit hesitantly, "It should be kept in a cage that can hold a person."
Ye Yunzhou shook his head and sighed with heartache. Huo Fengting also came down from the stairs at this moment. Ye Yunzhou pinned his hopes on him. Just as he was about to ask questions, Huo Fengting took the initiative to raise the wine jar in his hand.
"Look, what is this?" Huo Fengting lifted the wine jar and said excitedly, "50-year-old wine! Although the age is a little less, it can be used as it is. Who wants to drink it? I'm happy today, we won't go home if we don't get drunk .”
Ye Yunzhou: "..." Where are you going?
Ye Yunzhou reminded: "Brother Huo, we are wanted by Eternal Night Palace now, shouldn't we politely hide?"
"It's useless how many of those trash come here." Huo Fengting wiped his nose disdainfully.
"Brother Huo, I know you are strong, so you don't take the guards of Eternal Night Palace seriously." Ye Yunzhou tried hard to persuade, "But now that the barrier that blocks the entire Eternal Night Palace has been opened, even if you can break the barrier forcibly Going out will inevitably expose your identity, when Huo Fenglin receives the news, if the control doctor is going to threaten you, can you rush to rescue him in time?"

Ye Yunzhou said rationally.
"Okay, Brother Ye is smart, I'll listen to your arrangement." Huo Fengting put the wine jar on the counter, "I'll drink it after they finish checking."
Ye Yunzhou rubbed his temples and found that Mu Linjiang had been looking at him with some undisguised inquiry in his eyes. He emphasized to Mu Linjiang: "I really have no other purpose. Brother Huo suffered injustice. I just want to It's just helping him... how come you hugged him!"
The golden velvet rabbit that Su Li was holding ran into Mu Linjiang's arms at some point, and the picture of Mu Linjiang touching the rabbit's back was so harmonious that he didn't notice it for a while.
"Do you want it?" Mu Linjiang handed the rabbit forward, "You can't pick up the ears."
"... Forget it." Ye Yunzhou waved his hand exhaustedly, the noise outside the door was getting louder, he turned to the counter and took out the pen and paper in the drawer to pretend, "Young masters, what do you want? Hide as you please."
When Mu Linjiang stepped onto the second floor, Su Li looked like he really wanted to get into the cage. Huo Fengting fished him back, pointed to Mu Linjiang to follow, and said in a low voice, "He has a lot of tricks, let's try some tricks or something." .”
Ye Yunzhou felt that he really looked like an overworked middle-aged man, and wanted to save Mu Linjiang some energy so that he would not use his spiritual power for big and small things, but Mu Linjiang himself didn't seem to care at all.
The team of six people who came to interrogate Ye Yunzhou scanned it twice with the magic weapon of detection, and carefully compared it with the booklet in his hand. next one.
After the guards checked the nearby houses and walked away, Mu Linjiang came down from the upstairs, calmly said: "It's hard work."
Ye Yunzhou just wanted to roll his eyes: "Now we are safe for the time being, it's time to get down to business."
Huo Fengting was thinking about the wine at the counter, came over to pat open the mud seal and raised his head to drink, thought for a while and said, "I went to the kitchen and made an order for you, do you want a glass or a bowl?"
Mu Linjiang said calmly, "I want tea."
Huo Fengting frowned and said: "Brother, you are not giving face."
Ye Yunzhou: "..."
Ye Yunzhou knocked on the counter, he could understand that Huo Fengting was excited just after he got out of prison, but what kind of mentality did Mu Linjiang have to follow suit.
Ye Yunzhou coughed dryly: "Brother Huo, why did we come to Yongye Palace, we have to start with Yinmu Stone."
There was a strong smell of wine in the air, Huo Fengting waved his hand and said: "Talk while drinking, what's the business without wine! Let's go."
Su Li poked his head on the stairs and shouted: "Brother Huo, I've taken the bowls and chopsticks away, nothing else!"
Ye Yunzhou: "..."
Ye Yunzhou got up and said angrily: "Give me an altar, and I won't return today if I'm not drunk."
Mu Linjiang smiled in a low voice, Ye Yunzhou passed by him, and frowned, warning: "I want you to encourage evil spirits, if you don't have your tea, give me a drink."
"If I make a slip of the tongue after drinking, Mr. Ye don't take it seriously." Mu Linjiang raised his hand to remove Ye Yunzhou's disguise, his tone was calm and seemed to have deep meaning.
Ye Yunzhou snorted: "It's almost like uttering the truth after drinking, but I would like to see you drinking crazy."
"How is Young Master Ye drinking?" Mu Linjiang looked sideways at him, "If you're drunk, will you mention me?"
Ye Yunzhou was silent for a while: "I have never been drunk, I have always been sober."
"Hmph, maybe not." Mu Linjiang turned his hands away and walked into the kitchen on the second floor. There were two tables put together in the middle of the kitchen. Each person poured a bowl, and brought out the freshly heated beef from the pot.
It was rare for Ye Yunzhou to mourn for the shopkeeper. Not only did they really use the store as their base, but they also used their kitchen to eat their food.
The beef was cut in Huo Fengting's bold and unrestrained style. Ye Yunzhou, who thinks he is meticulous, has no appetite, so he sat down opposite Mu Linjiang.
"Master Ye." Mu Linjiang leaned back in his chair and glanced at his bowl.
"Palace Master, you don't fit in well." Ye Yunzhou reprimanded him, but he changed a cup for him in the cupboard.
In order to avoid accidentally seeing Mu Linjiang's eyes, Su Li chose to sit next to him. As soon as he sat down, Huo Fengting raised his bowl and began to give a speech before the banquet. Su Li quickly stood up too.
"Palace Master Mu knows, I'm careless and careless, I don't have much to say, I don't want to say much thank you, and Palace Master Mu is not lacking. Anyway, there is something useful for my brother, so just open your mouth!" Li and Ye Yunzhou clinked their glasses to save face, Mu Linjiang looked at him and Huo Fengting didn't care, he drank it up and refilled it, Mu Linjiang slowly picked up his glass and took a sip.
"Today is in the enemy's camp. It is a friend in need. I have my old friend, Palace Master Mu, and my little... new friends, Brother Ye and Brother Su. This is a day worth remembering. I will do it again." Huo Fengting raised his hand. Picking up the bowl, this time Mu Linjiang finally gave him the honor to clink a glass with him. He said excitedly, "Palace Master Mu, good brother! When I am happy, I talk a lot. Please bear with me, I will punish myself first."
Ye Yunzhou also drank two bowls. He didn't show the mountain or the water, and there was no change on his face. Mu Linjiang listened to Huo Fengting's chatter, but he became quieter. He sat at the table with his cup in his hands, his head slightly lowered Like an elegant sculpture.
"Young Master Su, don't just eat by yourself, the Palace Master can't reach him, so he's too embarrassed to pinch it." Ye Yunzhou teased with a smile, "He's a vegetarian."
Mu Linjiang finally raised his head to look at him helplessly, Su Li suddenly realized, reached out and moved the two side dishes to Mu Linjiang's table, took a bowl and said tentatively: "Brother Mu saved my life, then I won't say much, it's useful Just say it where you are watching me! I respect you a bowl."
Su Li was ready to drink in embarrassment when no one answered, but Mu Linjiang raised his glass as a signal, and took a delicate sip.
He started this, and Ye Yunzhou started to have a bad taste, and Huo Fengting and Su Li made up all kinds of reasons to respect him. No matter how little Mu Linjiang drank, the glass would soon be drained.
"The palace master cares about the common people and does not care about fame and fortune. He is worthy of admiration. Cheers."
"I didn't expect that Brother Mu also likes flowers, birds, insects and fish, fellows, cheers!"
"Brother's Destroying God Art, the world changes color, and any cultivation state or sinking state will have to be slightly reduced. Cheers!"
The so-called sorrow is broken and there is no reason to get drunk. Maybe happy people are prone to drinking too much. Mu Linjiang doesn't admit it and doesn't think he is so happy, but the wine bowls offered by the surroundings are all sincere, and no one is nervous during the banquet Dodging, and no one deliberately flattered him, Ye Yunzhou touched the rim of his cup and said with a smile: "I can't make up anymore, cheers?"
Mu Linjiang was in a daze for a moment, then said in a low voice, "... Cheers."
He looked at the bottom of the empty glass again, and just as he was going to get the wine jar, Ye Yunzhou stood up and held down his wrist, cleared his throat and said: "Okay, the capacity for alcohol is so bad, if you drink any more, it will delay your business. "
Mu Linjiang blinked his eyes and thought that he couldn't hear anything now, his eyes were a little blurry, so he put down his wine glass and leaned back on the chair to close his eyes. Su Li was already swaying and hugging the empty altar like a rabbit, only Huo Fengting and Ye Yunzhou were still awake with.
"Brother Huo, it's a long story, but it's not difficult to sum it up." Ye Yunzhou shook the bowl in his hand, trying to show a bit of strategizing, "There is a ghost cultivator whose name is unknown, secretly occupying control Qiao Xinyue, the Hall Master of the Sword Pavilion of Autumn Water, wanted to gather together the Eternal Day Lantern, the Nightfall Stone and the Longevity Fire. Among them, the Nightfall Stone was guessed to be in the hands of Huo Fenglin. Yin Si, Wei Yi escaped, so he threatened the palace owner with Lord Yin's safety to get the Dusk-Bringing Stone for him. Lord Yin is plotting to lurk by his side as an undercover agent. We found this place based on the information Wei Yi escaped, looking for clues to the Dusk-Bringing Stone. I met Brother Huo by accident."
Ye Yunzhou spoke briefly, Huo Fengting was stunned for a moment, and asked: "What does the second brother want that broken stone for?"
"Probably to build weapons." Ye Yunzhou guessed, "We once rescued the descendant of the casting master who escaped from Lingya City, and got a sword containing a twilight stone as a gift from her. Is Huo Fenglin as obsessed with swords as the rumors are now? Law?"
"Second brother's talent is no worse than mine. When I was alive, I didn't treat my second brother very much. My second brother practiced harder than me and never left his sword. Even though he is now delving into crooked ways, his interest in swords should not change." Huo Fengting's face darkened slightly.
"Since we are brothers, why do we still have preference?" Ye Yunzhou asked.
Huo Fengting scratched his hair: "My mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to us. My second brother was born a day later than me. Although my mother was rescued, she was still in poor health. I passed away when I was three years old."
"I see, I'm sorry." Ye Yunzhou lowered his head, "Ghost cultivators can scatter remnant souls and hide in various places. If news spreads, it may cause panic among everyone and cause unnecessary suspicion and loss. Return to Lord Yin, collect all three keys to lure Ghost Xiu to the door and eliminate him head-on, and don’t want to interfere with the internal issues of Lingya City. Brother Huo and Huo Fenglin will make a settlement, close the Eternal Night Palace, and severely punish the relevant people. I believe Lord Yin will not Opinion."
Mu Linjiang has been listening to the conversation between Ye Yunzhou and Huo Fengting intermittently. He feels that something is wrong. Ye Yunzhou didn't say anything about his own thoughts.
Mu Linjiang wanted to say something serious, but it was too late to raise his spirits at this time. The strong wine seemed to flow in every inch of his blood, convincing his body to let him just relax and fall into a dream without worry .
There is no distinction between day and night in the Eternal Night Palace, but the sundial still does. Ye Yunzhou took a look at Mu Linjiang when he carried him back to the bedroom. The crystal pointer cast a slowly moving shadow on the stone slab, and it was almost three o'clock in the middle of the night.
Huo Fengting and Su Li lay directly in the kitchen, he didn't intend to care about the two of them, he twisted the veil and rubbed Mu Linjiang's face all over, put them on the bed, took out the recliner and put it under the back window beside the bed, adjusted After resting for a long time to remove the smell of alcohol, after washing up, I pasted a few talismans downstairs to ensure vigilance before going back to rest.
Ye Yunzhou originally wanted to keep himself, a sober person, in case of emergencies, but as soon as he lay down completely, his injured leg seemed to be aching again. He listened to Mu Linjiang's gentle breathing and the noise outside the window as usual. Driving inside and out, he suddenly had the illusion that this place was a safe haven.
Not long after, Ye Yunzhou also fell asleep.
Maybe it was too indulgent before.
Ye Yunzhou looked at the banquet in the courtyard with a strange atmosphere through a gap, he suddenly realized that he was dreaming, he drank too much before going to bed, and ended up drinking in his dream.
He wanted to leave here, but he couldn't move, so he continued to look in. He probably didn't know the people at the long table in the courtyard, but he always felt familiar. He saw Mu Linjiang under the tree. Even though he was covered with a layer of black veil, he could be sure that this person with aloof and quiet temperament was Mu Linjiang.
Mu Linjiang was drinking, as expected of a dream.
Ye Yunzhou wanted to laugh, Huo Fengting held the wine jar and clinked glasses with Mu Linjiang, Mu Linjiang only took a sip, Huo Fengting directly used the jar, and moved to the next table while drinking.
Then he saw the person closest to Mu Linjiang stand up, raised his glass and walked towards the opposite side, and exchanged greetings with a smile on his face, but he frequently looked under the flower tree from the corner of his eyes.
Ye Yunzhou didn't know how long he had been watching, and he didn't have any concept of time in his dream. When he regained his clear mind, the bustle of the courtyard had disappeared, and Mu Linjiang was still sitting there, taking off his veiled hat and leaning against the flowers under the bright moon. Shu, probably fell asleep, let go of the wine glass in his hand little by little, overturned on the table, rolled to the ground together with the remaining half of the glass of wine, and wet his clothes.
Ye Yunzhou's heart suddenly tugged, and then he remembered to think about why he had to look through a gap. It was like a gap in a door. He had been standing behind this gap and staring at Mu Linjiang for an unknown amount of time. Time, why didn't he go up and talk to him?He didn't know, it was a dream after all, and he couldn't think too much.
At this moment, a crisp sound exploded in his ears real and clearly.
Ye Yunzhou suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the hilt of the sword beside him, turned over from the recliner, and looked towards the dark center of the bedroom.
Mu Linjiang supported the table as if he wanted to pour water, but his hands were trembling and he couldn't hold the kettle steadily.
"Palace Master? Haven't you sobered up yet?" Ye Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief, put down the Ruoshui sword and went over, "You only had three cups."
When he got closer, he realized that Mu Linjiang's face was flushed and his eyes were brighter than usual.
Ye Yunzhou quickly took a step back, thinking that this cephalosporin would go well with wine: "Have you had an attack on a good night on the seventh day? Don't scare me, aren't you suppressing it?"
Mu Linjiang clenched his fist and smashed it on the water glass, the porcelain cracked and scratched his fingers several times, the blood soon stained the tablecloth red, he was a little out of breath, his voice was slightly hoarse: "Maybe it's...Xuanxiyuan...you first Just leave, I will adjust my breath, don't worry."
"I can't even pour a glass of water, so don't worry?" Ye Yunzhou raised his eyebrows, but instead locked the door and drew a sound-proof array.
Mu Linjiang raised his head, his eyes were bright purple and pitch black repeatedly intertwined, he took a breath silently, and growled: "If you tell you to go, don't talk nonsense! Otherwise, I won't promise what I will do!"
"Heh, can you guarantee that you will not do anything last time? It is not up to your order whether I go or stay." Ye Yunzhou sneered, took the Ruoshui sword with his hand, and threw it at the table. Most of the blade sank into the solid wood, leaving behind The hilt of the sword trembled uncontrollably, "Here is my sword, try whatever you dare to do."
Mu Linjiang closed his eyes, sat down slowly while leaning on the table, and sighed after a while: "I don't want to hurt you, so I beg you...get out of here."
Ye Yunzhou was a bit surprised. It was the first time Mu Linjiang lowered his tone and posture, but it aroused his interest. He walked around the table and looked at him leisurely: "Master, what are you afraid of? Compared with the seven days and nights at the beginning On the night of the attack, there was neither injury nor lack of spiritual power, so why didn't you dare to let me stay?"
Mu Linjiang frowned deeply, turning up his sleeves to transform into a spring moon, turning the tip of the umbrella to stab himself.
Seeing this, Ye Yunzhou stepped in front of Mu Linjiang, and directly put his hand on Mu Linjiang's shoulder. Mu Linjiang suddenly stopped, and said angrily, "Ye Yunzhou! What do you want to do!"
"You can pierce my hand and hurt yourself, why not?" Ye Yunzhou stared at his bloodshot eyes, "I don't care about this little injury."
"I said I didn't want to hurt you." Mu Linjiang threw down his umbrella, he was tortured by Ye Yunzhou, he had no way out, he reached out and grabbed Ye Yunzhou's wrist and squeezed it tightly, "If you don't want to leave, stay away and don't speak again. "
Ye Yunzhou was pulled by him and leaned slightly, holding the handle of the sword on the table with his left hand to keep his balance, looking at the struggling look in Mu Linjiang's eyes with great interest, he half-jokingly said: "Master, do you really like me? It is said that the deeper the emotion, the more restrained it is, unexpectedly Gong... Hey."
As soon as his teasing words came out, Mu Linjiang suddenly let go of him, pushed himself up against the table and returned to the bed, closed his eyes and meditated to adjust his breath.
"Hey, talk." Ye Yunzhou held the hilt of the sword hard and split the entire round table, "I'm just kidding, are you kidding me too?"
"...Well, just kidding." Mu Linjiang bit his lip and swallowed a mouthful of fishy sweetness.
The author has something to say: warm reminder
Although strong wine is good, don't be greedy
Persuading people to drink is not good, only for practitioners
Don’t worry, it’s really not abuse_(:з”∠)_
