"Palace Master, this Palace of Ecstasy, but our Palace of Ecstasy?" Ye Ying asked coldly.

The four pairs of eyes on the opposite side stared at me without blinking. I took a deep breath and said a word: "Yes."

Ye Ying continued to ask expressionlessly: "I don't know when the Palace Master will tell us about this matter?"

From behind came the sound of Xiao San'er's nervous breathing.

"It's now." I puffed up my chest and looked directly at him: "Qi has many subordinates, and he is well versed in the movements of various sects, large and small, in the rivers and lakes, and he also understands that the human heart is the most unfathomable thing in the world. You are at the forefront of the rivers and lakes, and also the first line of defense for the Ecstasy Palace, since your duty is to collect information from all parties for the lord of the Ecstasy Palace, then I would like to ask the envoy: What is your purpose of collecting information?"

Ye Ying said proudly: "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in all battles."

"Well said!" I sneered, "Since Qi Shi knows how to know himself and the enemy, he can win a hundred battles, so why did hundreds of people from all corners of the country gather outside the pass to ecstasy in the name of searching for the treasure of Tianjian Villa? But the palace has never received any news or warning from the envoy?"

"...Me!" Ye Ying's face flushed red: "We have not received any news related to the Ecstasy Palace before, and everyone thought they were looking for Xiao Tianjian's treasure!"

"As the eyes, nose, and ears of the Ecstasy Palace, the Ministry of Qi collects all kinds of information firstly for the self-protection of the Ecstasy Palace, and secondly to control others. Hundreds of people participated in this bloodbath of the Ecstasy Palace. , You didn't find any suspicious clues? Or, because the rumors have nothing to do with the Palace of Ecstasy, you are careless? As envoys, you ignored such an important event, causing the Palace of Ecstasy to be closed without any warning. It was quickly breached, 62 people in the Palace of Ecstasy died, and all the wealth and treasures were washed away. Instead of reflecting on your mistakes, you are aggressively questioning me, the newly appointed Lord of the Palace of Ecstasy, what do you think you should do as a subordinate? something?"

After I finished these words in one breath, I realized that my heart was beating violently, so I simply let go, and looked at him without avoiding it.

Ye Ying lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said: "What the palace master said is true! It is Ye who has dereliction of duty, and the only way to apologize is to die!" After speaking, he drew out the long sword at his waist and wiped it on his neck.

The other three envoys beside him shouted in unison: "No!" They stretched out their hands to stop them, but he flew away and all fell into the air.

At this critical moment, there was only a soft "bang", his sword edge was stirred by a hidden weapon, and with another "click", a dull iron sword struck his sword. I am stuck in life, and I can't make any further progress.

Finally, there was a sound of "pa", the hidden weapon collided with the sword edge, rebounded and landed on the ground, rolled a few more times, and finally stopped, it turned out to be a small piece of broken silver.

Ah Fei stood in front of Ye Ying, looking at him expressionlessly, the iron sword in his hand didn't move, as if it was cast from molten iron.

"What a fast concealed weapon... What a fast sword..." Ye Ying murmured blankly, "Am I really old...?"

The other three envoys stood at the side with their hands down, their expressions fluctuating, and the room was dead silent for a while, and the atmosphere was strange.

I smiled and stood up, walked over, bent down to pick up the piece of broken silver, put it in front of my mouth and blew it, carefully put it in my sleeve, walked past the four envoys one by one, and finally stopped in front of Ye Ying, He sneered and said: "I have seen the bloody nature of Qi today. It's just that the ecstasy palace has not avenged, but you want to kill yourself and push this mess back to me, isn't it wrong?" Too kind? Even if you want to die, you can wait until you find out who is behind the scenes and avenge everyone in Rapture Palace. Don’t you think so?”

Ye Ying raised his head and said sadly: "Seeing the palace lord and this little brother fight today, Ye Ying is really ashamed, and feels that he is a useless person who can neither save the Palace of Ecstasy nor even have the qualifications to protect the palace lord. What's the use?!"

"Qi Shi's words are wrong." I said seriously: "Although you, as Qi Shi, cannot escape responsibility for the bloodbath of the Ecstasy Palace, but I, as the owner of the Ecstasy Palace, cannot forgive it. If we all want to have a good time, we will die , then who will find out who is behind the scenes? Who will pay for the lives of 62 people in the Ecstasy Inner Palace? Who will rebuild the Ecstasy Palace?"

"Aren't you afraid of death, are you still afraid of living?" I looked at Ye Ying and said slowly: "This time the matter is too strange, and I haven't thought through many doubts until now. I always feel that this matter is not serious. It's just for the sake of the treasure. Before everything is clear, if you really feel ashamed, then give me a good life!"

After a while, Ye Ying slowly withdrew the sword in his hand, lowered his head and said, "Yes! This subordinate obeys!"

Ah Fei also inserted the iron sword back into his waist and stood behind me.

I turned my head to look at the other three envoys standing blankly by the side, then looked at Ye Ying, clapped my hands and said with a smile: "Everyone knows now! I, the Palace Master of Ecstasy, have neither money nor people. If you still want money, then I definitely won’t be able to get it. When people walk on the rivers and lakes, they draw either a word for righteousness or a word for profit. In terms of loyalty, you have followed my master for many years, and you are all affectionate and righteous when you think about it Brothers, if you are willing to stay, I will welcome you with clapping hands. If you want to leave the Palace of Ecstasy, I will never stop you. In terms of interests, I am now a pauper, but from now on, as long as I have a mouthful to eat, I will never Hungry brothers. But after all, the Ecstasy Palace is no longer the Ecstasy Palace of the past, what to do, it all depends on the heart, you don’t have to force it.”

I sat back on the Eight Immortals chair in the middle of the main room and looked at them with a smile.A Fei and Xiao San'er were still standing behind me with their swords in their arms, without saying a word.

After a while, Ye Ying took a step forward, clasped his fists and said: "Master Meng will not give up, and lust makes Ye Ying willing to follow Palace Master!"

Huafeng took a step forward, cupped her fists and said, "The lustful Huafeng is willing to follow the Palace Master!"

Liu Rufeng hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Wealth envoy Liu Rufeng is willing to follow the Palace Master!"

Finally, Chai Jin put away his fan with a smile, cupped his fists and said, "Chai Jin, the wine master, is naturally willing to follow the palace master, as long as the palace master doesn't dislike me for eating and not doing anything."

I laughed and said: "The current Ecstasy Palace can no longer support idlers who only eat and do nothing! You go back today, and after I think it over, I will come to you to discuss future matters."

"Yes!"

After seeing off the four envoys, I propped my chin with both hands and sat blankly in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, staring at last year's residual lotus in the lake in a daze.

Today, I played hard and soft, and finally won over the four envoys.However, invisibly, there are many more mouths waiting to be fed.And now that they stay because of their loyalty, I can't let them suffer with me all the time.

The bigger the team, the harder it is to lead. This principle has been true since ancient times.

Don't test your feelings with money, this is an eternal truth.

Therefore, I have to think about it carefully, how to make these four movies that only exist in the Palace of Ecstasy continue to be maintained.

"You did a good job today." Ah Fei's voice sounded behind him.

I looked back at him: "Thank you, Ah Fei. If you hadn't acted in time, I might not have been able to stop Ye Ying from committing suicide in one fell swoop. If he was forced to death by me, how could I be worthy of Master."

"You and I don't want to say this word of thanks." He leaned against the railing of the Huxin Pavilion with the strange sword in his arms, and smiled faintly: "This Ye Ying is also a bloody man, unlike the other three. It's slippery, like a loach, too slippery to catch."

"Unexpectedly, you grew up alone in the mountains, and you have a good eye for people." I laughed.

"My mother warned me since I was a child that people in this world are unpredictable, so don't trust anyone." He said slowly, "If I hadn't met you first, I might have lost confidence in "human nature"."

I thought of his hateful and poor mother, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your mother is a wonderful person, but it's a pity that she is too paranoid."

"In my memory, she has never smiled." He looked into the distance, as if recalling something: "Maybe death is the real relief for her, but she forgot that she is the only one in this world for me." Loved ones. I will be sad when she dies."

His voice became lower and lower, and finally it seemed that a wisp of green smoke was blown away by the wind.

"A Fei," I held his hand and looked into his eyes: "You still have Xiaoha, you still have Xiao San'er and Xiao Hei, and me."

He stared at me blankly for a while, then held my hand tightly behind his back.

"What are you two doing!" Xiao San'er's dissatisfied voice sounded: "I'm sweeping the floor in the front yard, and you two are hiding here to have a good time."

I heard the sound and looked up, and Xiao San'er reluctantly led a person over: "This person said, I have something to do with you!"

I looked behind him, and there was a man dressed in colorful clothes, with an evil spirit, a pair of radiant peach blossom eyes full of curiosity and inquiry, and a trace of inexplicable...jealousy?

"The flower envoy just left, why did he come back?" I looked at him and joked, "Could it be that there is something important that you want to talk to me alone?"

Huafeng stepped forward and made a bow, and said with a smile: "The palace master is talented and intelligent, and he can see clearly, Huafeng can't hide it."

I laughed and said, "Oh? What's important, I trouble you to come back again? Or is there something you don't want the other three envoys to know?"

The face of the flower bee changed, and she knelt heavily on the ground, which made me jump up from the stone bench: "Flower, the man has gold under his knees, what are you doing?!"

I cursed secretly in my heart: the fault of the ancients is really unbearable, can't you just say something?Kneeling at every turn, what's wrong with it? !

Huafeng smiled wryly: "Palace Master, don't play tricks on me anymore!"

I was even more confused when I heard: "Why should I play tricks on you? When did I play tricks on you?"

"Palace Master," Hua Feng continued, "Although you have changed your face, I will never forget your eyes."

I touched my face, and remembered that I was still dressed like that yellow-faced man. I couldn't help laughing: "I've changed my appearance like this, and you can still recognize me? Then tell me, who am I?"

Huafeng looked at A Fei and Xiao San'er beside me, and hesitated to speak.

"They're all my closest and most trusted people, and it doesn't matter if you say so," I said.

Then he said coyly: "Palace Master, it has been more than half a year since we left in the cave. You once said that when I was released from prison, if I could still find you, you would give me a hand. I have the antidote."

"The antidote? What antidote?" Monk Zhanger was even more puzzled.

The flower bee turned pale in shock and said: "Master, don't you want to fool me again! Back then you punished me for deceiving and picking flowers with Israel, and you fed me a poison, saying that you would never be able to be a man or woman again. Otherwise, the qi and blood will go retrograde, and the blood will burst to death. He also said that this medicine is extremely rare, and you are reluctant to give it to ordinary people...Have you forgotten?!"
