There were so many people attending tonight's banquet, the veterans of the Zhenwu League gathered together, and many juniors came to the banquet with their elders because they admired He An's name.

He Bei and Xie Juan sat at the same table, and many eyes came to them.

He Bei rested his forehead in one hand and clutched the luminous cup in the other, with a lax expression and a lax movement, with the dignified posture of a dandy boy, and he looked sideways at Xie Juan with burning eyes.

If anyone happened to meet He Bei's eyes, He Bei would usually respond with a polite smile.The person who seems to be the most difficult to provoke, the moment when he smiles is like spring snow melting, and the person who laughs usually has a heartbeat in all directions.

Xie Juan sat beside He Bei like a clear stream.Sitting upright, she is dressed in green clothes with bamboo patterns. When she is silent, she looks like a clean white lotus in the Xinyu River Pond.

Halfway through the dinner, the guests began to walk around each other.Chao Xie Juan and He Bei walked towards a woman in a black dress.The woman looked young, about fourteen or fifteen years old.She has thin and neat bangs, and two buns like flower buds are tied on top of her head.Her facial features are pretty, and her palm-sized face wears a pair of extremely exaggerated purple tassel earrings.She raised her glass and smiled at Xie Juan: "Hello, chivalrous man. Are you He Bei, the son of Grandmaster He? This is Xi Ling, a disciple of Yunding Summit. I am honored to have dinner with you. May I have a drink?"

Xie Juan shook his head and responded politely: "I'm sorry. I'm not the son of Master He. I'm the one next to me."

He Bei thought, this is another younger sister who came here admiring him, but when he raised his eyes, he found that it was his old enemy from the previous life.He raised his eyebrows and looked teasingly, and asked Xiling, "What is my sister looking for?"

The face of the woman in black changed, she gave He Bei a slightly disgusted look, and ignored him.She turned her head to Xie Juan and showed a self-deprecating smile: "May I get to know you?"

Xi Ling came here for Xie Juan, and she was attracted by the Xie Juan in the seats.She also heard that Grandmaster He's son was in this seat, after some self-screening, she decided that Xie Juan was He Bei.

And the real He Bei looks like a member of the Demon Cult who came to kick the hall.

Xie Juan clasped his fists and said, "I'm an inner disciple of Fengyu Sword Village, thank you. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Xiling smiled with two small canine teeth, she clasped her fists and said, "Brother Xie, it's a pleasure to meet you."

He Bei shook the wine glass in his hand, and said casually: "Xi Ling. Princess Xi Ling of Lanzhou Ten Cities?"

Xi Ling deliberately straightened his back, raised his head slightly, presented a arrogant posture to He Bei, and responded stiffly: "That's right."

Lanzhou Ten Cities is the most prosperous area in the inland of Zhongzhou, and it is also the central capital of the inland of Zhongzhou.

In the previous life, the Princess Jubilee was extremely bloody and had an overwhelming sense of justice.Leading the black cavalry from the ten cities of Lanzhou to attack Wujiang, the heinous demon king.In the end, He Bei alone wiped out [-] black cavalry, and the Princess Jubilee was defeated gloriously.Later, she was unwilling, and secretly sneaked up to Qingjia Mountain disguised as an attendant to assassinate He Bei, but He Bei saw her identity at a glance, and immediately gave her to his gardener Song Liuying to be his wife.

He also didn't ask Song Liuying if he wanted to, thinking that it wouldn't be a disadvantage for him as a gardener to have a princess as his wife.Unexpectedly, Song Liuying later released Xi Ling when she said she didn't like it.At that time he was too lazy to care,

It was only later that I heard the housekeeper talk about it, saying that after Xiling returned to the inland of Zhongzhou, he claimed to see through the world and entered the temple to become a Taoist nun.

At this time, Xi Ling looked at Xie Juan with bright eyes, and asked, "Brother Xie, do you dare to ask who is your master?"

Xie Juan responded: "Master Jinglian."

Xiling immediately revealed a look of reverence: "It turned out to be the true disciple of Master Jinglian. I heard that Master Jinglian has been hiding from the world for many years, and Xiling has never had the opportunity to visit her old man. I have always admired the master's Luochen sword technique. I want to get to know you!"

He Bei grinned while peeling the orange in his hand, "My senior brother's set of Luochen swordsmanship has been practiced to perfection."

Xie Ling excitedly bowed his head to Xie Juan's face: "Wow, Brother Xie, will I be lucky enough to see it?"

He Bei was dissatisfied in his heart, and blurted out: "Little sister, when my senior brother is playing monkeys, if you say perform, then perform."

Xi Ling was choked by He Bei, and looked at Xie Juan with aggrieved eyes.

Unexpectedly, Xie Juan's words were cold: "Although the Luochen sword technique has been passed down by Master, it is still far behind Master, so I won't make a fool of myself."

He Bei chuckled twice as gloating, Xi Ling immediately turned dark and stared back at him fiercely.

However, Xi Ling is not thin-skinned, she continued to stick her face warmly: "Brother Xie, there will be a firework show later, let's watch it together."

Xie Juan nodded, turned to He Bei and said, "Fireworks are your favorite, let's go."

He Bei held Xie Juan's arm affectionately, and said, "Okay, Brother Xie~"

"Ahem..." Xie Juan choked on a mouthful of hot tea and almost choked to death.

The sound of fireworks blooming outside the window was deafening, and Mo Kong was lit up by the exploding fireworks, and finally fell like stars and rain.The grandstand on the second floor of the banquet hall was filled with spectators after a while, watching this lively and dazzling scene.

Amidst the growing joy and laughter, there was an unusual roar, and someone screamed and exclaimed: "Look! The top of the Linglong Tower... exploded!"



Half an hour ago, Li Yu, who finished playing the piano at the dinner party, left the side hall where the musicians rested under the pretext of going to the toilet.

The city lord's mansion was heavily guarded, and Li Yu didn't dare to wander around in a large area.Many guests usually go to the Baihuayuan in front of the banquet hall to breathe, and he is mixed in it.

According to the plan made by Jinghua Palace for him, he has only one task tonight, and that is to set fire to Zangshu Pavilion, and come up with a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.Gathering everyone's attention to the Library Pavilion is considered to be the completion of the task.

But——in the daytime, the salted fish sent an envoy who was discussing cooperation with him asked someone to give him something called "Chang'e Flying to the Moon".After some research, he found that the so-called "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" was just a torch.The salted fish envoy asked him to light the torch at night during the fireworks display and aim it at the top of Linglong Pagoda.

So up to this moment, Li Yu was still torn between whether to listen to Jinghua Palace or go to the so-called Xianyu faction envoy.

The salted fish sent envoys claimed that they would be rewarded at least three thousand gold after the task was completed.

Jinghua Palace will not give him any reward, but he is hindered by Jinghua Palace's methods.

In the early years, he had nowhere to go to join Jinghua Palace in order to have enough food, but anyone who joined Jinghua Palace would be fed poison by the palace owner.And he needs to take the antidote once a month, otherwise he will die from broken liver and intestines.

These years, Li Yu has been prosperous in Songzhou City, but the money he earns from selling jokes has to be discounted [-]% to subsidize Jinghua Palace.Jinghua Palace has only given him the title of Zuoshi so far.They have a big name, but they don't actually have much power.

To put it bluntly, he is just a tool man.

The salted fish sent messengers claimed to help him get the antidote, although everything was an empty promise.It's not that he hasn't inquired about the origin of this salted fish pie, even the "Bai Xiaosheng" in the city, at most, knows that Qingjia Mountain is a dangerous place.The only news that can be revealed is that it is said that 100 years ago, after the most powerful Demon Sect Changgelou withdrew from the disputes between the Jianghu and the Jianghu, it was reclusive in Qingjia Mountain.

Li Yu couldn't help but suspect that the Xianyu Sect envoy might have something to do with Changge Tower.

When hesitating and struggling, Li Yu didn't concentrate on walking, and unexpectedly tripped over a stone under his feet.When he leaned forward and almost hit the ground, his right arm was grasped by a strong hand, and he was quickly lifted up.

"My lord, you have to be more careful when you walk." A voice as clear as a spring of sweet spring rang in his ears, and the one who lifted him up a moment ago was a handsome young man in Chinese clothes.

The boy's age seemed to be no more than a weak crown, his hair was partly pulled up, and he was wearing a gold hairpin with pine and cypress tassels.A crimson satin gown, an inner garment with a white gold collar, and a cluster of bright red and delicate phoenix flowers embroidered beside the two buttons on the breast.

The face of the other party is the most beautiful person he has ever seen in many years of wandering in the rivers and lakes, like the fox fairy of the Tushan clan who wanders the world at night in the storybook.

Li Yu leaned over to salute gracefully, raised his sleeves to cover half of his face, and said softly, "Thank you, my servant."

The young man's tone was brisk: "You're welcome. Young Master, don't go any further. The City Lord's Mansion is quite big, and Young Master is so confused, what if you get lost?"

Li Yu stammered timidly: "I'm not confused, it's just, just accidentally..."

In Li Yu's half-covered face, only his own pair of lacquered pupils were exposed.In the hazy night, Li Yu's eyes moved, as if they were full of spring water, and in an instant, they were as ignorant of world affairs as a deer in the mountains.This kind of look is his usual trick in the romantic places.The young man in front of him was so amazed that he instinctively wanted to attract his attention.

The man in scarlet clothes smiled slightly: "Young Master, you need to pay more attention to your feet. If you fall again, there will be no one to help you."

Li Yu froze for a moment, then said, "Okay."

The man in scarlet clothes didn't have any more interaction with him.After claiming that something happened, he turned and left, leaving only a bright back.Li Yu didn't even have time to ask his name.The other party was like a rushing evening wind, leaving a mark on Li Yu's heart for a short time.

The encounter between He Bei and Li Yu was really accidental.

He Bei was going to go to the bathroom, but when he saw Li Yu, he planned to pass by and pretend not to know him.But on the way to the toilet, he happened to observe the patrolling guards heading in the direction Li Yu was going.If he didn't remind Li Yu, Li Yu would definitely meet the patrolling guards of the City Lord's Mansion. If he met face to face, Li Yu's whereabouts would be clearly recorded, which would not be conducive to the development of the situation tonight.

Li Yu suddenly felt lost in his heart, thinking that the young man must be a person in the right way.When he first entered the rivers and lakes, he also thought about joining the decent school, but his poor physique was not conducive to practicing martial arts.In the end, by accident, they were trapped in Jinghua Palace, and they did dirty work for them, without any dignity at all.

Every inch of a person like him is dirty.

The feeling of inferiority slowly fermented in Li Yu's heart. He had thought about it, why not just leave and choose no one.

After a long time, there was a "bang" in my ear, which was the sound of fireworks blooming in the air.Li Yu looked up at the gorgeous scene in the black night sky, and something exploded in his heart.
