red flame

After entering the city, the wind and sand were much smaller. Perhaps the high city walls blocked the way of a large number of sand grains.

The Lijia Tavern is located at the intersection not far from the city.The big signboard fluttered wantonly in the wind, and a big "raccoon" character was written on the dark blue cloth.

The handwriting is not beautiful, nor does it have any artistic sense, but the rough and simple strokes outline a simple warmth.

Perhaps it is this rare sense of simplicity, although it is incompatible with the grand design of Star Ji City, it also makes the business here very good.

The bustling crowd is walking in their respective directions.Qingxu and Li Suyuan walked towards the Li Family Tavern like all ordinary people.

"Suyuan, look there." Qingxu raised her head slightly to signal Li Suyuan, her eyes fixed on a small room on the second floor of the Li Family Tavern.Because the window was wide open, Qing Xu saw it just now when she looked up and looked around.

——That was the head of Light Blade and the head of Yan Tian. Both of them were dressed in casual clothes, and they didn't attract much attention.

That's right, the two masters would never show up easily on weekdays.In fact, there was no time to show up.On weekdays, high-ranking disciples and elders are basically in charge of affairs in the sect.

Of course, the person in charge of each sect is also different. For example, in the Liuguang resident: the training affairs of the disciples in the sect are mainly in charge of the training envoy.

The head of the light blade is wearing a black and red short robe, with a black base, and fiery red patterns are like strokes, embedded in the seams of each piece of cloth.

The designer of this suit paid great attention to the details.The whole piece of clothing is seamless, and at first glance, there is no trace of stitching.

I saw the head of Guangren and Yan Tian sitting opposite each other, drinking a pot of wine together.The Shiningblades' alcoholism may have been a habit from their earliest founders.

Over time, even new disciples don't drink much.But in the minds of all the residents of Yunchui Continent.

When it comes to the light blade, the first image that comes to mind is the image of holding a wine jug, which can be drunk anytime, anywhere.

However, this is also the most suitable endorsement image for Shining Blades: free and easy, uninhibited.Unfettered.

Perhaps they, who pursue the supreme meaning of the White Emperor, should be like this themselves.

The wind and sand in the city do not seem to affect the pace of progress.Qingxu and Li Suyuan stepped into the Li Family Tavern together, and went straight to the small room on the second floor.

The tavern is full of people, and all kinds of people gather here.Didu deserves to be the place where cultures blend the most.Even compared to the bustling Sulan Bazaar, it is not inferior at all.

The footsteps gradually circled upwards, and Qingxu and Li Suyuan quickly came to the door of the small room.

The door was just closed gently, Qingxu was not surprised at seeing Guangren and Yantian's head at first.Because His Majesty summoned the heads of various sects overnight is something that the senior leaders of all sects know.

He naturally entered the small room upstairs, Cheng Yu, the master of the light blade, and Lin Huo, the master of Yan Tian, ​​were chatting happily.

"Yo, you two came so fast." Qingxu who was not surprised just now was full of disbelief.

But it's really strange, it is reasonable to say that Yan Tian and the Guangren sect's residence is farther away from the imperial capital than they are, they just arrived after traveling all night, but they are still a little behind them.

"Ha, Qingxu. Don't have to look so strange. We were already out, and came as soon as we received the news. Of course it will be earlier than you." Cheng Yu seemed to see the doubts in Qingxu's heart, but he was naturally one-sided While drinking, he motioned to the civet cat next to him to add two more glasses.

Qingxu and Li Suyuan sat down one after another, chatting casually with them.After all, they are high-level figures in various sects, and they have many common topics with each other.

Time passed by so quietly, the moon was on the branches, and the streets of the imperial capital were brightly lit.

The moonlight is getting darker, and no one will pay attention to the figures flying quietly in the night sky.All those who received the news quietly gathered in the July side hall.

The July side hall is located a little far behind the Weiyang Palace.When the Yunchui Empire was under the rule of Qixuan, the palace still continued the imperial palace system after all, with a huge number of people.

However, after Qiji of this generation came to the throne, most of the people in the palace were reduced.

The July side hall is a side hall that was rarely used in the old days, because various misfortunes have been reported since the temple was built, and after the craftsmen finished building this side hall, they also passed away one after another.

Although there was no obvious death, it was such a coincidence.How much, it makes people a little scared of this palace.

So for a long time, this palace has been hardly used. In addition, the entrance is a vast pond, and there is a winding bridge above the pond. It is indeed scary enough to walk here in the dead of night.

It was late at night, and there were few people around the Hall of Seven Moons.

The candlelight in the hall was flickering slightly, and individual figures were lined up in random order.Everyone lowered their heads, waiting for His Majesty's order.

"Presumably, since everyone can be present, they must know the reason why I summoned you overnight." Qi Ji was still dressed in low-key black.Maybe it's because at night like this, the black clothes are not so conspicuous and eye-catching.

Because this matter has always been carried out in secret.

"General Liu led the troops to fight Beilang in Lingxiachuan this time. Unexpectedly, the army sent by Yanhammer was almost wiped out. The casualties were really heavy. The garrison Linglong also told me about General Liu. , This matter is indeed very strange." Qingxu, the head of Linglong, first expressed what he knew with a serious expression.

Qiji turned his head and looked at Qingxu slightly, somewhat comforted in his heart, his expression became much gentler when he thought of Liu Yiguang, and then he explained the meaning of summoning the heads and chiefs this time.

"Indeed, as the head of Linglong said, the battle with Beilang this time is really unexpected. For so many years, on the land of Xia Dalu under the rule of our Yunchui Empire, Beilang has always been under the control of us. A state of repression."

When Qi Ji said this, his expression was extremely indifferent, maybe he was saying these facts with incomparable hatred and memory.

"However...but this time it was so violent." He seemed to be lost in thought, desperately wanting to figure out the reason for all this unusualness.

But not long after, his own will still pulled him back: "The purpose of calling everyone this time is nothing more than asking the various sects to help find General Liu who has disappeared again."

Every time Qiji mentioned General Liu, Qiji's expression was always so dull for a moment, which was easily noticed by the representatives of the various sects who came here.

Everyone has their own thoughts and attitudes about it.

"Your Majesty, please elaborate. We shall do our best to serve Yun Chui." A chief disciple of the Holy Church said.

Obviously, such a slow conversation was a bit unbearable in the hearts of the churchmen.

"Please help the imperial capital to find the trace of General Liu. Because General Liu is missing in Lingxiachuan, we will continue to arrange people to pretend to search in Lingxiachuan, and the real search can only be left to you."

He paused, then turned around and said: "The outside world only knows that General Liu is missing. If people from the imperial city are used to search for it, the entire Yunchui will probably know it within a day. So, it's only you. Only you Only then can a large amount of manpower be dispatched without alarming the people or attracting attention."

"This is indeed a feasible method." Li Suyuan spoke steadily for the first time.

"I agree." Lin Huo agreed quickly.

"At the service of His Majesty."

"May General Liu be blessed with good fortune."

One after another, the voices came. Although there were only a few people meeting, it was indeed an unforgettable scene.

Let's discuss the corresponding measures in each sect for Liu Yiguang, which must be deceptive and effective.

Looking at everyone who came here overnight, although Qiji didn't change much on the surface, he was very relieved to see everyone discussing countermeasures together.

"I think it's a good idea..."

"..."

"No, what if they find out..."

"Have you considered disciples in the sect?"

"..."

"Hey, who are you talking about, you have no brains!"

"..."

All kinds of voices were intertwined, there were fights, and there were decisions. This night was spent in the July side hall, which made the already weird side hall less strange.

-

"Ban Yu, what is this place? Why is it so gloomy, it makes my back chilly." Xuan Mo and Ban Yu were in a forest.

There are traces of destruction across the vast land, and the forest is so deep that it is difficult to see its depth.

Looking at these traces, Ban Yu unconsciously guessed and imagined what happened here.

There seemed to be something about to emerge from the bushes next to "Xusu".

"Ah... Ban Yu..." Xuan Mo jumped up in fright when he heard a sound, and quickly hid behind her by grabbing the corner of Ban Yu's coat.

Liu Banyu was wearing a long-sleeved and loose robe today.The rather soft clothing reflects Ban Yu's classical temperament.It's just that he is still dressed in dark colors. Although he doesn't look very old-fashioned on Ban Yu's body, it is still a bit dull.

Xuan Mo is the same as always, the mix and match of various colors, although dazzling, makes people feel inexplicably organized.

"Aw... Aw..." After a while of rustling, what gradually revealed was a dark red fur ball.

"Ban Yu, what the hell kind of place is this...wasn't it still in your room just now?" Xuan Mo couldn't help complaining, but the ball of fur didn't stop, it kept moving.

Banyu noticed it, and while paying attention to the movement here, he answered Xuanmo's complaint: "I don't know, but..."

"Oh... um..." The ball of fur began to reveal his true colors.

Deep black eyes, smooth fur.

------It's Huo Huo.

"Ah, Huohuo, why are you here?" Banyu ignored Xuanmo who had been hiding behind her, and walked towards the bushes.

"Hey, why is it this little guy." Xuan Mo stared at Huo Huo, never letting go of his gaze.Huohuo also seemed to feel Xuanmo's gaze, and took a few steps back with her little feet, staring at Banyu with both eyes.

"Go aside, don't scare him." Banyu stepped forward cautiously, picked up Huohuo, and put it in his arms.As always, the fire that entered Banyu's arms was exceptionally quiet, and there was no more sound.

The two moved forward together, although they didn't know what this place was, but everything seemed unreal.Because everything in this world is covered with a slight scarlet.

Oh, in fact, both Ban Yu and Xuan Mo knew a little bit that this place was probably Ban Yu's dream, as to why it was so real, I don't know.

The dream didn't last long, Ban Yu and Xuan Mo walked in it, and then returned to reality because Ban Yu woke up in reality.

"Ah, it's so cold." Xuan Mo called out the icy temperature as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The world just now should be my dream. Your real body is still here, so naturally it has been cold for a long time." Ban Yu said slightly in thought.

Without the weirdness of the dream, Xuan Mo got rid of the trembling look.

"How did I get into your dream?"

"What did you do just now?" Ban Yu tried his best to understand the situation, and asked for details with a slight frown.

"I, just now... I came in to call you just now, so I touched you." Xuan Mo opened her fingers slightly, gesturing the route she took before entering the dreamland, recalling that time.

"Did you touch me?" Banyu lowered his head slightly, stroking Huohuo's fur.The comfortable touch made Huo Huo squint his eyes, and comfortably lowered his head and buried it deeply in Ban Yu's arms, his tail lightly swept over Ban Yu's arms, and naturally hung down.

"Aww..." A deep whimper was drowned in the crook of Ban Yu's arms.

"Hey, Ban Yu, what did we see just now?" Xuan Mo blinked, sitting beside Ban Yu's bed, expecting Ban Yu to give a reasonable answer.

However, Ban Yu had no idea about this and could only shake his head slightly.

"I can't tell, but there is a familiar feeling. I don't have time to check these now. The freshman trial competition is about to start. The key is that we have to prepare well."

Banyu stretched out his hands and patted Xuanmo's shoulders.

"Okay, let's go back and rest first."

"Well, then you should take a good rest, tomorrow is the first match."

Xuan Mo left, but Ban Yu's heart was overwhelmed.

After going deep into the dream, they saw a seemingly gorgeous building, but there were traces of damage by spells everywhere, mottled and winding, and that familiarity drew Ban Yu to move forward.

But, at that moment, they were pulled out of the dreamland.

In that distance, it seemed that something was calling Liu Banyu.
