The rivers and lakes are full of vests

At the subsequent banquet, King Yan didn't deliberately mention anything, just a few small talk, and the dinner ended after an hour and a half.

King Yan personally sent Fu Peibai and others back to the house to rest, and sent several maidservants in the palace to serve them, while he and the old housekeeper walked slowly to the study on the side of the garden.

After he entered the study room, he sat down and read a book called "On the Potential Fufu".

It wasn't until the night outside was dark, the moonlight poured into the house through the window, casting mottled afterimages, and there was a sound of the second watch at Haishi outside the mansion, that King Yan put down the book, got up and walked to the bookshelf on one side, he touched it casually. The bookshelf is separated from the floor-to-ceiling porcelain vase on the side, revealing the long and secret passage behind it.

He walked down, and the butler followed behind him. The figures of the two disappeared in the depths of the secret passage, and the bookshelves were slowly closed, returning to their original appearance.

The secret passage was dim, and long candles were lit every ten feet, barely able to illuminate the floor tiles under your feet. After a stick of incense, the narrow and dark secret passage suddenly opened up, and a bright underground dark room appeared.

Just like the study of the Wangfu, the incense burner, long couch, desks and chairs are all available.

King Yan sat down casually, glanced at the old butler, and said, "Take off your disguise, you will be more comfortable, and I will be more comfortable watching you."

The old butler responded, his thin and stooped figure suddenly swelled up, his shoulders became broad, his back was straight, his arms, chest, and thigh muscles were all exposed, his whole body was more than a few inches taller, and he finally turned into a strong body. The body of a young man.

The man lifted off the mask as thin as cicada's wings, revealing the handsome but cold young face underneath.

King Yan looked at it twice, and said with satisfaction: "It's still so comfortable to watch."

The man didn't reply, and the King of Yan didn't speak any more. He was playing with the jade wrench idly, as if he was waiting for someone.

Not long after, there were inaudible footsteps in the dark passage, getting closer, and then Sang Yunshi's figure appeared in the dark room.

She knelt down on one knee and saluted, "My subordinates join the prince."

King Yan raised his hand, looked at the white cloth around her neck, and said, "After you go down the mountain, let us know what happened to you."

Sang Yunshi succinctly reported some things that happened after she went down the mountain.

After hearing this, King Yan thought for a moment and said: "That Seventeen, I don't look like an ordinary woman. You have been with her day and night on the road, have you ever seen the clue?"

"Never."

"This king always feels that this person is very suspicious. After you leave, continue to observe her carefully."

"Yes."

"As for the matter of Banruo Temple, why did Mingwen and Kuchan suddenly summon Fu Peibai? And just before the assassination..." King Yan was lost in thought, frowning.

The man at the side said: "Have you ever thought that the assassin who assassinated Banruo Temple is the one who assassinated Miss Sang?"

"Why do you make such a guess?"

"The name of Banruo Temple's benevolence and righteousness is famous all over the world. There are few enemies in the martial arts in the Central Plains. If the assassin really came to seek revenge, the Luoying Sect is the most suspect. Moreover, according to Miss Sang, the assassin who attacked them that night It is definitely the Falling Shadow Teacher, the two events happened in such a short time, it is hard not to associate them together."

King Yan raised his eyebrows, "Continue talking."

"First, Banruo Temple introduced Fu Peibai, and then Fu Peibai and his party were assassinated. The core of these two incidents was that young man. The subordinates believed that this assassin was not to assassinate the second lady of Tianjizong, but to go for Fu Peibai. Miss Sang It is also stated that the Luoying envoy did not intend to take Fu's life, so there is only one reasonable guess."

The man paused, then continued: "In the Banruo Temple, there is something that the Luoying Sect wants, and that thing was handed over to Fu Peibai on the eve of Kuchan's death. When I suspected Fu, I took the opportunity to attack at night, but failed without thinking about it."

King Yan's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands in praise, "Ying Yue, your intelligence is not inferior to martial arts, and you are indeed the person that this king likes."

Ying Yue's expression was calm, "Thank you, my lord, for your compliment."

King Yan laughed grimly, "Isn't what Luoying Sect wants exactly what we want?" Then he straightened his face and ordered Sang Yunshi: "No matter what method you use, the trip to the southwest is over. Afterwards, I want to see those two fragments of climbing the mausoleum."

Sang Yunshi lowered her head and answered, "Yes."

"As for the Xuanyuan Sword, let's draw it slowly. Look at Fu Peibai's expression during the dinner just now. It seems that he really doesn't know his own life experience. He must not know the whereabouts of the Xuanyuan Sword." King Yan sneered, "Fu Ming It's really good to protect one's own children, even so, you can't escape the disasters of the world, and you will end up in vain after all your life, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's ridiculous."

"When Lu Wencheng got the two fragments of Dengling from Jiangdong and Hanyang, plus the two pieces in my hand, the map of Dengling should be reappeared in the world." King Yan's eyes blurred, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more treacherous, "Father Emperor, father, you have sat on the throne for long enough, it's time for a replacement."

"My lord, we need to be vigilant against Lu Wencheng breaking his promise and tearing down bridges when crossing rivers." Ying Yue reminded aloud.

The King of Yan snorted coldly, "I know it, how can he be satisfied with such an ambitious person, commanding the Jianghu? He pretended to form an alliance with this king to help me ascend to the throne, but he just wanted to use this king as his own in the future." The puppet emperor, he himself holds great power and controls the world, and his calculations are very loud, but unfortunately, this king will not let him get his wish."

"Lu Wencheng is not the only one who can do the trick of killing donkeys." After finishing speaking, King Yan's eyes became sharper.

There was no words in the dark room for a moment, after a while King Yan adjusted his expression, and said to Sang Yunshi indifferently: "Okay, you go down, and finish what I told you, don't let me down."

"Subordinates obey."

Sang Yunshi turned around and was about to leave when the King of Yan stopped her again. She turned around and said, "What else does the lord have to say?"

The smile returned to King Yan's face, and he said kindly: "It's nothing, I just want to tell you that everything is well with your parents, siblings, and the day before yesterday I sent this king a special product from Beijing. Thinking about it, you have been away from Beijing for a few years." , do you want to take some to taste the taste at home?"

Sang Yunshi clenched her fists hidden under her sleeves, and a killing intent flashed in her eyes, which was fleeting, "No need, my lord, if there is nothing wrong, this subordinate will leave first."

King Yan squinted his eyes happily, and waved, "Go."

Sang Yunshi turned around and walked into the secret passage, then walked out of the secret passage, left the study, and came to the quiet and deserted garden.

She didn't go back to the room, she picked a stone bench and sat down, raised her head to look at the moon, for the first time there was a gloomy expression on her face that didn't match the usual one, and her beautiful facial features faded a bit.

She sat like this for a while, her ears moved slightly, and she heard almost inaudible footsteps, and when she raised her eyes, a woman in a moon-white light gown had already walked in front of her.

It was Seventeen who came.

Sang Yunshi resumed her usual expression, with a frivolous smile on her lips, "Miss Seventeen, why haven't you rested so late, but you miss your sweetheart?"

Shi Qi's expression was indifferent, and his brows and eyes under the moonlight were even more deserted, "I have something to say to you."

"Oh? Please speak."

"It's inconvenient to talk here, come with me." After seventeen words, he tapped his feet and flew up to the top of the wall. In an instant, the figure disappeared outside the high wall.

Sang Yunshi didn't seem surprised, she also performed lightness kung fu, climbed over the wall, and followed Shi Qi.

The figures of the two were also ghostly and erratic, passing by like two phantoms on the eaves of the empty street in the middle of the night, and not long after, they came to the dense forest on the outskirts of the city.

Sang Yunshi stared at the woman in white on the opposite side, curled her lips, and praised: "Miss Seventeen is really proficient in holding her breath."

"You're not bad either."

The two clearly used the same disguise method to conceal their internal strength in martial arts, but at this moment they began to compliment them in a false manner.

"Okay, if you have something to do, the seventeenth girl can speak directly."

Shi Qi stared at Sang Yunshi and said firmly, "You are from King Yan." It was not doubt, but a statement.

The smile on Sang Yunshi's face faded, she didn't admit it directly, but asked: "Then who is the seventeenth girl?"

Shi Qi didn't answer, but the soft sword on his waist suddenly came out of its sheath, pointing at Sang Yunshi brightly, "What is your intention to hide beside Fu Peibai?"

Sang Yunshi stared at the sharp blade that was less than an inch in front of her eyes, not afraid, she turned her head slightly to avoid it, "Naturally, is there a plan for it, for money, for things, or for people?" She seemed to want to provoke Seventeen on purpose. , with a flirtatious tone and a dissolute smile.

Shi Qi's eyes darkened, his wrist trembled slightly, and he stabbed again, Sang Yunshi quickly dodged away.

The two women quickly started fighting in the forest. The leaves of the dense forest rustled down, and from time to time, fierce air currents were generated, blowing the dense forest into a rattling sound.

The martial arts of the two are superb, and their bodies are equally flexible, but after a few rounds, Sang Yunshi has already seen her defeat. Her martial arts is not Shi Qi's opponent.

After she dodged the blow, she immediately begged for mercy, "Miss Seventeen, spare her life." Although she was begging for mercy, there was no fear on her face, she just panted and smiled slightly.

Seventeen stopped his sword, and the soft sword straightened, touching Sang Yunshi's shoulder, "Answer my question."

Sang Yunshi raised her hands and signaled to admit defeat, "Okay, okay, let me tell you, I am indeed a member of King Yan, so I am naturally lurking beside Fu Peibai under the order of the prince. something you want."

Shi Qi raised his eyebrows, "How did you know that I am a member of the Luoying Sect?"

Sang Yunshi blinked slyly, "It was just a guess before, and I just found out."

Shi Qi is not annoyed at being scammed, it doesn't matter if the identity is revealed, as long as the identity of "Lu Yanran" is not revealed, it doesn't matter.

"The king of Yan has already learned that Fu Peibai got one of the fragments from the Banruo Temple?"

"Yes, the lord has ordered the little girl to die this time. After the trip to the southwest is over, it is really embarrassing for the little girl to present him with these two fragments of climbing the mausoleum."

Shi Qi smiled coldly, "You can't take those two pieces away."

"I know, so I want to make a deal with Miss Seventeen."

Seventeen frowned and said, "King Yan and Lu Wencheng are like dogs, you belong to King Yan, I can't trust you."

Sang Yunshi restrained her smile, her expression became more serious, "You and I are actually the same person, we have the same things we want."

Shi Qi did not speak, and stared at her silently.

"Freedom, what you and I want is freedom, doesn't it?" Sang Yunshi said softly.

Seventeen and a half closed her eyes, as if she was in deep thought. After a while, she withdrew her sword and asked, "What deal?"

"I won't snatch the fragments of Dengling Mausoleum from you, but I have an unspeakable secret. I can't disobey King Yan for the time being. At that time, I will have to borrow the real one to make two counterfeit ones. Naturally, you will accompany me throughout the process, and the real one will not leave your sight." In the slightest, after the matter is completed, you and I will deal with each other, and I will pass on the information of King Yan to you in the future."

"Then what do you want?"

Sang Yunshi laughed again, but the smile was a bit bitter, "Didn't I just say that, I want to be free, to live freely, to choose freely, I am tired of being a dog and eagle, but I can't get rid of King Yan for the time being." , only with the help of external forces.

The Luoying Sect is targeting the Tianji Sect and Lu Wencheng, and King Yan and Lu Wencheng are allies. After thinking about it, it is undoubtedly the best choice to join the Luoying Sect. King Yan. "

After being silent for a while, Shi Qi said, "Okay, I promise you."

The serious expression on Sang Yunshi's face vanished in an instant, she blinked, and said narrowly: "The little girl is curious about something, and I hope Miss Seventeen can explain the confusion to the little girl."

"You said."

"Why does Miss Seventeen care so much about Mr. Fu? Miss Gu knows that you have something to belong to, and Mr. Fu also has a sweetheart."

"Could it be that Mr. Fu is the one Miss Seventeen likes?" After she finished speaking, she half covered her mouth with a look of surprise.

Seventeen had flat eyes, watching her in silence to entertain herself.

Sang Yunshi saw that Seventeen was unmoved and had no interest, so she shrugged her shoulders and closed her mouth.

The night wind was cool, and after a rustle in the forest, the tall figures of the two women were no longer seen under the vast moonlight.
