That night, Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling did not rush to find Dongming Sect and Shan Wanjing. Instead, after receiving an invitation sent by someone sent by Wang Shichong, they decided to go to Luoyang City first.
Have a banquet at 'Manqingyuan'.
And the 'Manqing Courtyard' is the leading fireworks place in Luoyang. Tonight, here, the King of Changbai Mountain has reserved this place and sent out heroic invitations. A banquet will be held with friends from all walks of life gathered in Luoyang. At the same time, it is said that the world-famous man
The talented girl Shang Xiufang will also perform a dance at the venue, which is something you can't easily see in normal times?
Originally, according to the arrangement, two great masters from the Western Regions, Qu Ao and Fu Qian, were to have a wonderful duel at Manqing Yuan tonight. However, a few days ago, "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao committed suicide and was killed by that four great masters in the world.
The little girl Anne, one of the masters, was slapped and disappeared in Luoshui. Therefore, the original duel naturally had to be cancelled.
However, in view of the theft of the He's Bi in Jing Nian Monastery last night, people from all walks of life and powerful figures who want to get more information or have certain purposes are still the same as Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
I chose to accept the invitation and came here by chance.
Here in Luoyang, Manqingyuan is very big. It is not just a brothel. Perhaps, it is more appropriate to say that it is a huge villa or garden?
Therefore, in view of the large number of people coming, and in order not to neglect the people from all walks of life and powerful men, Wang Bo and Shangguan Long, the owner of the Manqing Courtyard, arranged the event in a huge quadrangle at the back of the Manqing Courtyard.
Go to the 'Tingliu Pavilion'.
Most of the Tingli Pavilions are two stories high, with a unique architectural form, showing a "back"-shaped structure. The four pavilions are connected end to end, and are connected by corridors. There are dozens of VIP rooms, large and small, where you can enjoy the scenery.
The terrace windows for watching and dancing all face the central direction with beautiful views of artificial lakes, rockeries, pavilions, gardens and stages, so that guests can have a clear view tonight from any wing.
Dance to the world-famous talented girl Shang Xiufang.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who had invitations, naturally did not hide their identities, nor did they make any disguises. Therefore, under the guidance of Zhike, they were quickly taken to a luxurious large room on the left side of the east side of Tinliu Pavilion.
In the wing room, while the maids were bringing wine and food, beautiful and scantily clad dancers and singers soon came to the wing room to perform and serve.
"Hello!"
"Young Master Zhong!"
"We just did that big thing last night, and we still dare to come to such a crowded place tonight. Isn't it a bit bad?"
"just in case……"
After sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the wing room, looking at the beautiful singers singing and dancing, and then looking at the food and wine on the small table in front of him, Xu Ziling had no intention of having fun and enjoying it, but got it first.
Kou Zhong asked this question in a low voice.
Xu Ziling, who is cautious by nature, is indeed a little worried. After all, the 'He's Bi' and the 'Yang Gong's Treasure' are now in their possession, and that Wang Bo even pointed out the invitation to the two brothers. Who knows what the other party has in mind.
?
If something goes wrong, or if someone gets some gossip and is waiting for them here, they will regret it.
"Shh!"
"Ziling, please keep your voice down!"
"Are you stupid?"
"It's precisely because of that that we have to come. Otherwise, wouldn't we just be asking for it?"
"Hold on!"
"Don't expose the secret, just pretend that nothing happened. We just need to be on guard against those guys who want Mr. Yang's treasure."
After pretending to look around casually to make sure no one was eavesdropping, Kou Zhong calmly leaned into Xu Ziling's ear and retorted in the same low voice.
"ah!"
"makes sense……"
Hearing what Kou Zhong said, he pondered for a while, and finally Xu Ziling reluctantly nodded, feeling a little more relieved and acting a little more naturally.
"Do not worry!"
"Didn't we already agree when we came?"
"It's fine!"
After patting his brother on the shoulder, Kou Zhong said no more and began to drink and eat meat carelessly while watching the songs and dances of the singers.
Although they call themselves the 'Yangzhou Double Dragons', after all, the two brothers were just two pickpockets under a gangster in Yangzhou City two years ago. Since they became successful during this period, they have all been busy practicing kung fu and competing in battles.
In the world, how can they have the time to enjoy the kind of singing and dancing that only the big shots they envied could enjoy like now?
Therefore, since the opportunity is rare now, and there is an enemy who takes the initiative to pay their bills, then of course he, Uncle Kou Zhongkou, will not be polite.
"well……"
"It would be great if Master also came..."
"!
"
"But don't!"
"Why?"
"you still need to ask?"
"When I went to Yali, I said this was the 'Manqing Courtyard'. To put it bluntly, it was a 'prostitute'. You still want to trick our master and her little family into coming to a place like this. Are you looking for death?"
"ah!"
"That's right, I forgot about it."
"Okay! Okay!"
"Hurry up, it's time to eat! It's time to drink! It's time to see!"
"Zi Ling, just relax. With Master and her in charge in Luoyang City, no one will dare to provoke us brothers!"
"Let's just wait and see the good show!"
After the two of them added up, Kou Zhong didn't want to say anything more. Instead, he sat down in his seat again and signaled Xu Ziling to imitate him and enjoy the singing, dancing and food first, and wait until he had eaten and drank enough.
Only then did I have the strength to go to the theater.
In this way, as time went by, as the two of them were eating and drinking, the Tinliu Pavilion of Manqing Yuan gradually became lively, and people from all walks of life who had been invited by Wang Bo or not were also started to arrive one after another.
The intellectuals led the guests to sit down in each of the rooms. Ordinary people who didn't know about the noisy and bustling scene would probably think that there was some serious banquet going on tonight.
Bar?
soon!
After letting the singing and dancing singers leave their own rooms, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling walked to the terrace and saw at a glance that in the Manqing Courtyard Tingliu Pavilion tonight, except for the owners Wang Bo and Shangguan
In addition to the dragon, the visitors also included Li Shimin, the so-called "dragon among men" of the Li clan, and the people from the Tiance Mansion; Song Shidao and his party from the Song clan, whom they had only met once during the day, did not see Song Yuzhi; the original plan was to
Fu Qian, a foreign master who wants to fight "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao to death; Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu, the Turks who have been in the limelight recently; Liu Heitai, who was under the command of Xia King Dou Jiande and had a good personal relationship with Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling, and "Pu"
Monkey" Li Mi's confidant general, the "femme fatale" Shen Luoyan who is resourceful, good at using tricks, and absolutely ruthless when necessary!
Of course, those were only seen by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and they had no idea who else was in some deliberately hidden rooms.
Immediately afterwards, the initiators of the banquet, Wang Bo and Shangguan Long, came on the stage and began to greet the invited guests, including Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
At the beginning, everyone started to discuss loudly what happened last night, that is, the theft of the Heshi Bi in Jing Nian Temple and the reappearance of the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan.
"..."
(?ω?)
However, what Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling didn't know was that when they were chatting nonsense with those people in the Tinliu Pavilion of the Manqing Courtyard, outside the Manqing Courtyard, on a hillside, a little girl was looking curious.
He stared from a distance with his beautiful big eyes.
That’s right!
The person who was secretly observing was none other than Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were just discussing their terrible little master Anne Bennie!
Originally, Anne didn't plan to come, but when she found out that the two people took the invitation and went out secretly without asking her, which felt a little strange and strange, she naturally followed them from a distance.
Came here.
Then, she discovered that it was not the kind of fun place she had imagined, but a group of weird uncles making noisy noises there and discussing about that boring place with the two people, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were just joining in the fun.
What's the matter with 'Heshi Bi'?
However!
What is even more surprising is that at this time, about twenty steps away from Annie, facing the cool night breeze sent by Luoshui, there was a person standing on the branch of a big tree.
On top, she was wearing a long blue gown with her sleeves fluttering in the wind. She looked as stunning as the fairy Chang'e descending to earth. She looked down at the clear stream, calm and composed. Her whole body was full of fairy spirit, and her back was full of fairy spirit.
There is also an elegant ancient sword hanging on it, adding a bit of heroic spirit to the woman?
"..."
(′～`●)
Anne knew that there was someone behind her, and she also knew that the other person was staring at her, but she didn't mind. She just continued to look at the Manqing Courtyard with her lips pursed, not knowing what she was thinking.
"you……"
"Aren't you going?"
Finally, perhaps because she was not angry with Anne for ignoring her, or because she wanted Anne to notice her, the woman spoke out of nowhere, and asked softly with a soft, pleasant and gentle voice like an oriole.
.
"Don't go!"
(￢д￢.)
"People are just curious about what they are here for. It doesn't seem to be fun at all. Why would they go there?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
First she gave the other party a roll of her eyes, and then Annie spoke disdainfully.
And from Anne's attitude and wording, it is not difficult to know that she must have known that someone was snooping and following her behind her for a long time, but she was just too lazy to pay attention to it for some reason?
"big sister……"
(?^▽^?)
"Who are you?"
o(*?^?*)o
Then, after looking at the Manqing Courtyard and confirming that there was nothing interesting there for the time being, Annie turned back, looked at the super-pretty young lady and asked cutely.
"..."
"Master Fei Xuan!"
"I've met Senior An!"
After staring at Annie's pretty face with some baby fat, which looked smart, cute, well-behaved, but no different from an ordinary little girl for a long time, that ecstatic woman, that master concubine Xuan Cai
He suddenly spoke and bowed his hands far away on the branch.
"Concubine Shi Xuan?"
(???.???)????
"Are you the hot Concubine Shixuan?"
(=^▽^=)
"I have heard Xu Ziling and others mention that you are indeed very beautiful!"
?(?^o^?)?
After blinking and staring at the other person up and down for a while, Annie nodded and answered with a smile.
"..."
"It's Shi Fei Xuan, not Shi Xuan Fei."
Although she was speechless, Shi Feixuan still had to continue correcting her voice after frowning.
"Aren't they all the same?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"oops!"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
"Don't mind it too much. Who asked you to choose a weird name that's so spicy and hard to remember?"
(O ^~^ O)
Annie thought for a moment, and then protested in a somewhat frantic manner.
That’s right!
That's 'Shi Fei Xuan' or 'Shi Xuan Fei' or something like that. Anyway, the meaning is pretty much the same. Queen Anne doesn't know those weird, unfamiliar and awkward names of strangers that always make people confused.
What a waste of precious brain seeds to memorize so much!
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
(Tibbers said that he is also a little stupid and can't tell the difference. However, if a bad little master lets his uncle bear out, he will pounce on him, tear him off the branch and tear off his clothes.
Then he puts it into his mouth and tastes the thin skin and tender meat, and Uncle Bear will definitely remember him.)
"..."
Shi Feixuan opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, as if she didn't want to conflict with Anne or waste time on such unimportant issues?
"What happened last night..."
"I saw the figures of those two people. For some reason, they don't look like the "Shadow Assassin" Yang Xuyan and the "Sentimental Young Master" Hou Xibai. Instead, they look like the two apprentices of my predecessor?"
"Then Feixuan went back and thought about it for a day, and she always felt..."
"Perhaps only someone like Senior can steal the Heshi Jade from Master Kong quietly?"
"If it were the "Evil King" Shi Zixuan, would he be powerless?"
Shi Feixuan paused for a moment, and then went straight to the topic, directly showing off her cards, but in a tone that sounded like questioning and hesitation, she said her guess, which was infinitely close to the truth.
"..."
(?~?)
With a flat mouth, Anne didn't answer because she wasn't familiar with the other person and didn't want to deal with a guy who was aggressive when he came up.
"That 'He's Bi' is yours to take!"
"Right?"
Seeing that Annie didn't respond, Shi Feixuan asked again.
"People think..."
(??ω??)
"Sister, you have bad eyesight, you must have seen it wrong!"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
However, Anne still did not answer, but suddenly retorted like this.
"..."
"Senior is joking."
"We, the martial arts practitioners, can clearly see the people in Manqing Courtyard here. How could we not be able to tell who the person who was chased for half the night last night was?"
Shaking her head, Shi Feixuan smiled, saying that she was sure that He Shibi's disappearance was closely related to Anne, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling.
Although she does not have definite evidence, that does not prevent her from making some guesses and experiments, like now?
"Really?"
(?Д?≡?д?)!?
"That……"
?(?^o^?)?
"Look, there are gold coins in that hand?"
o((*^▽^*))o
Seeing that the other party dared to be so confident, Annie took out a gold coin and threw it into the sky without even thinking about it. Then when it fell in front of her, she quickly moved her hands and stretched out her clenched fists.
Tell the other person to take a guess quickly.
"..."
"left."
Naturally, such despicable methods could not deceive Master Feixuan, so she pointed to Annie's left hand with determination.
"you sure?!"
!(;?o?)o
"Sure."
Shi Feixuan nodded affirmatively, indicating that she had read correctly and indeed saw Anne reaching out her left hand to grab the gold coin.
"ha!"
(?￣??￣??)??°
"Look! The left hand is empty, it's here on the right hand!"
(???????)
However, to Shi Feixuan's slight shock and surprise, Anne's open left hand was empty, and the gold coin was actually in her right hand?
"look!"
o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o
"Everyone has said that you have bad eyesight and you can see wrongly at such a close distance, so you must have seen wrongly last night!"
(?￣?￣?) Hehe!
Annie smiled proudly and said that the other party could misunderstand such a simple trick at such a close distance, so the statement that the other party identified the two masked men last night as being Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling must be even more untenable.
Anyway, she has proven with facts that the other person's eyes are indeed bad, so it is even more wrong to casually say such things to slander others!
(…)
(￢?￢.)
(If he could speak, Tibbers would definitely say loudly: Someone cheated and passed the gold coins from his left hand to his right hand!)
"this……"
"Senior, good tricks!
"
Seeing that she clearly saw that she had grabbed the gold coin with her left hand, but in the end the gold coin ended up in her right hand, Shi Feixuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, and had to shake her head and sigh in admiration.
But she didn't think it was because of her bad eyesight, but rather attributed it to Anne's method that she couldn't understand.
"but……"
"Senior, can you tell me where He's Bi is?"
Then, of course, Shi Feixuan continued to ask.
"have no idea!"
o(′^｀)o
"It's not here anyway!"
(???3?)
As for whether it was with Kou Zhong or Xu Ziling, she didn't know.
"have no idea?"
"Senior didn't deny it, he just said that he didn't know his whereabouts... So, Feixuan's guess was right, it was indeed Senior who did it?"
Hearing Anne's answer, the concubine Xuan couldn't help but be startled, as if she didn't expect Anne to admit it so simply.
"Why?"
"Is it to make Kou Zhong the emperor? Senior thinks he has the ability to be the common leader of the world?"
Then, Xuan, who was a little nervous, frowned and continued to ask.
"have no idea!"
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
"..."
(?~?)
Anne sighed impatiently, and then curiously raised her eyes to look at the guy named Concubine Shi Xuan again.
"You don't seem to like that idiot Kou Zhong very much?"
(???.???)????
"Then who do you think is suitable to be emperor?"
(*?^?*)
Anyway, she was bored, so Annie asked casually.
Of course she knew why the other party asked this, because, it is said that the 'He's Bi' is still some kind of Lao Shizi's 'Jade Seal', and the person who gets it can only be legally recognized by people after he becomes the emperor?
"Li Shimin!"
Shifei Xuan didn't know what to do, she looked directly in a certain direction of the Tinliu Pavilion of Manqing Courtyard and said firmly.
"Li Shimin?"
(°ー°〃)
Annie also followed the other person's gaze towards Manqingyuan, and then saw a guy with an angry face.
"Why?"
(???.???)????
Annie, who didn't know how that guy named Li Shimin was better than that idiot Koo Zhong, naturally continued to ask.
Although, that guy Kou Zhong is indeed an idiot, but no matter what, the other party is still his apprentice, and there is no way to change that matter. Therefore, Anne feels that no matter how bad her apprentice is, he will not be compared by an outsider.
Go down.
“It’s easy!”
"Fei Xuan has asked King Qin for advice on how to be a king and the policy of governing the world. She is very impressed by King Qin's answer!"
"Currently, the world is in chaos. To make a living for the common people, Fei Xuan feels that King Qin is the most suitable candidate."
"Anyway!"
"Please ask Senior to return He's Bi?"
Just like that, the concubine Xuan started to talk in front of Anne, and she kept saying good things about Li Shimin, and finally used that commanding tone to 'plead' Anne to hand over the Heshi Bi.
.
"..."
(lll￢▽￢)
It's a pity that Anne didn't talk to him.
"??"
"Senior doesn't approve?"
Of course Shi Feixuan saw Annie's expression and asked quickly.
"That's for sure!"
(￢д￢.)
"Those things just now are what you think. You can think or say whatever you want, but..."
|???ω??)??
"No matter whether that idiot Kou Zhong is suitable or not, if others think he is suitable, then he will be suitable, and if he is not suitable, he will be suitable!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
After saying that, Anne turned her face away with disdain, expressing that she didn't want to get entangled with the other party on that boring issue.
"!
"
"Your Excellency, you want to put all the people in the world in dire straits and ignore it?!"
Seeing that Anne didn't want to return He's Bi, Shifei Xuan became so anxious that she actually exclaimed.
"??"
(???.???)????
"You are not a common person in the world. How do you know that idiot Koo Zhong is not suitable?"
(?ˊ????)???
Anne asked a little strangely, not understanding why the obviously beautiful young lady in front of her had such weird thoughts in her mind, and she didn't seem very smart.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"really!"
"but……"
"Since Heaven has given Fei Xuan the important task of saving the common people, Fei Xuan will definitely go all out!"
"Feixuan dares to ask senior to return He's Bi!"
After a pause and staring at Anne for a long time, the woman Shi Feixuan spoke again and said loudly and in a more stern tone.
"The way of heaven?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
Unexpectedly, the other party mentioned something about heaven, and Annie almost didn't react.
"Hello!"
?(⊙o⊙*)
"Is Heaven here?"
??(??￣?￣)????
"Is what she just said true? Is it the mission you gave her?!"
(???.???)????
So, without thinking, Annie suddenly raised her head and asked loudly towards the moonlit sky.
"??"
Seeing this, the concubine Xuan on the opposite side was of course a little confused.
But...
Next second!
Boom!
?
Suddenly, there was a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which almost made Shifei Xuan stagger and fall from the branch.
"?!"
Then, she quickly raised her head and looked towards the sky.
But all she saw was that it was a beautiful day with a bright moon and few stars. There were no clouds in the sky and the weather didn't look like it was getting worse. So, how did the bolt from the blue come about? Of course she was.
No matter how you think about it, you don’t know.
"Na!"
(/^▽^)/
"That Heavenly Dao just said that!"
(=^▽^=)
"It said: It has never given you that kind of boring task. It also said that it has nothing to do with you at all, so you must never get involved with it casually?"
(゜▽＾*)
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to understand the meaning of the thunderbolt from the blue, Anne had no choice but to tell the truth and translate to the other party what the "Tiandao" had just conveyed.
"..."
"Senior, are you not planning to return it?"
Of course, Shi Feixuan didn't believe Anne's nonsense. She only thought that the bolt from the blue was some kind of special skill of Anne, or that it happened at the right time. Then, those words were just used by the other party to distract and tease her.
"I told you everything!"
(????)
"How can I return He's Bi if I'm not here?"
?(ψ｀╭╮′)o
"Besides..."
?乛?乛?
"You said you would pay it back, why?"
(??ˇεˇ??)
As she said that, Annie glared angrily.
You know, she snatched that thing from a monk's temple with her own skills, and now she has given it away. It is absolutely impossible for her to give it back!
"That's fine!"
"Then Fei Xuan dares to ask for advice?"
Seeing that she was too weak and the negotiation broke down, there was nothing she could do, so Shi Feixuan began to concentrate and hold her breath and slowly pulled out the Se Kong Sword behind her.
"Wait a minute!"
Sudden!
At this moment, a woman who was smart, charming, and as charming as a night fairy suddenly jumped out and stopped in front of Concubine Xuan, who was preparing for the ceremony. She first bowed to Anne, then turned around and said with a playful smile:
"laugh!"
"Junior sister Feixuan..."
"If your hands are itchy, why not..."
"How about Huanwan being Junior Sister's opponent?"
Huanwen, who was already very familiar with Annie, didn't ask for her opinion at all, and just asked in a presumptuous manner.
"!
"
Of course Shi Feixuan saw some kind of subtle relationship between Huan Huan and Annie just now, so her fairy-like pretty face instantly became cloudy and uncertain, and at the same time, the hand holding the Sekong Sword froze in mid-air.
middle.
"you……"
"What's the relationship?!"
She didn't know what the relationship between the two was, but Shi Feixuan only knew that the two seemed to be very familiar with each other, so she thought about it and had to ask in a deep voice.
"Not urgent!"
"Junior sister, if you win against Huan Huan, Huan Huan will tell you!"
"how?"
Of course, Huanwen didn't mean to tell the other party, because she liked the tangled and uncertain expression on the other party's face, so after finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party's reaction, she suddenly picked up her Demonic Double Blade and rushed forward.
passed.
The next moment!
The two stunning women, one as light as a fairy and the other as charming as an elf, entangled each other and fought together under the moonlight, with many branches and shrubs being destroyed by their soldiers.
The sword energy cut him to pieces.
"!
"
!!(?Д?ノ)ノ
"..."
(′～`●)
Looking in the distance and then in front of her, Annie figured it out almost instantly. It seemed that two beautiful ladies fighting would be more interesting than the group of foot-picking uncles in Manqing Courtyard praising and bragging to each other.
many?
"All right!"
???(＿＿*)??
"Sure enough! Fighting looks better!"
(?￣??￣??)??°
So, she turned around and happily found a clean place to sit down. She took out a bag of popcorn and ate it with relish while watching and cheering.
"Sister Huanhan, come on!"
?(ˊ〇ˋ*)?
"Span her to make her bloom! People like you!"
??(????~??)????
