At the end of April, the Imperial City is cool in the morning and evening and slightly hot at noon. For most people, it is a very comfortable temperature. However, for Yunxiao, who is in a sluggish state of fire, she needs to wear thick cotton clothes when it is cold and the sun comes out.

Soon she became hot and sweating profusely. Now she was lying softly on the table under the wisteria flower frame in the backyard, with ice cubes specially sent by Danzhen Palace at her feet, looking greedy and enjoying herself.

sleepy.

Xiao Qianye looked over from the window of the study room. Those wisteria flowers were moved here by a few girls who felt that the yard was too deserted. After noisy and tossing all day, they just erected a tall wooden frame next to the wall.

This season happened to be when the wisteria flowers were in bloom, and the vast expanse of gorgeous purple was pleasing to the eye. It also attracted many colorful butterflies to come around and land on her forehead, gently flapping their wings.

This feeling seemed to take him back to the days when he was young, when the courtyard was full of jacarandas. His mother also liked to take a nap in the courtyard. Many butterflies stopped on the branches, adding a touch of elegance to this large house that usually had few guests.

vitality.

Mentioning butterflies, Xiao Qianye's scalp went numb and he frowned. He had not seen such a common creature normally for a long time. It was either a strange and dark underworld butterfly or a spiritual butterfly that magicians like to use.

, and the fire butterfly that Yun Xiao often transforms into flames.

Yunxiao's injury has improved slightly these days. Not only can she get a little sleep at night, but the warm sunshine in the afternoon also allows her to take a nap comfortably. Yunxiao has been afraid of heat since she was a child, even if she is on the top of Kunlun all year round.

In a severely cold place, she would be out of breath and sweating after just practicing her sword for a while, and then she would find various excuses to excuse herself and run away. When he was young, he focused on improving his sword skills, so he had no idea about this little guy who liked to stick to him and was not very motivated.

Junior sister really had no choice. Now that he thought about the past, he felt fear welling up in his heart, and he unconsciously squeezed the pages of the book in his hand.

There is such a dangerous fire hidden in her body. If she accidentally loses control while practicing swordplay as a child, her hybrid body will be destroyed along with it!

It turned out that the little junior sister who appeared at any time and could not be chased away was so fragile, but he always thought that she would always be by his side, clinging to him and acting like a baby.

Thinking of this, he put down the book in his hand and walked out, gently moved the basin of ice cubes to the side, and touched Yun Xiao's forehead for body temperature. There were two people at home who needed a lunch break, and Lian, who was always carefree,

Hua Xiaoshuang and Bai Xiaocha also knew enough to wait until dusk to come over. Such peaceful and peaceful days often made him feel that the fierce battle at Tianshou Road was just a dream. Several days passed in a flash, and he was imprisoned in the Golden Thread Prison.

The wounds of the two Xinmo in the cage were healing at an alarming speed even if they did not eat or drink. The young master who worried him more had never shown up. Xinmo had always discriminated against mixed races. Fifteen thousand years ago,

They were even fighting each other among their own kind. It wouldn't be strange not to come to rescue him at this time, but the overly quiet atmosphere always made people feel uneasy.

Li Yi, the guard of the Three-winged Birds, sent a message and they dispatched two detachments to Luo City for support. However, the appearance of the Xinmo tribe is no different from ordinary people. It is difficult for the Three-winged Birds to keep an eye on the unidentified intruders in the densely populated capital. At present,

We can only cooperate with Mu Yun to restrict the caravan from entering the city. The enemy is in the dark and we are clear, and we are very passive.

On the other side, Feng Yan has not been seen for a few days and seems to have been protected by Gongsun Yan. The investigation of Mirror Pavilion is still continuing. Feng Yuhui's footprints are all over Feiyuan, and it is not easy to quickly screen out suspicious places.

Seeing that everything was calm, he knew that everything was at a stalemate and the initiative was in Xinmo's hands. This was undoubtedly a dangerous signal. No one knew when the group of lunatics who took pleasure in killing and fighting would come back.

.

Compared to the more heavily guarded Imperial City, maybe he should go to Luo City himself and maybe find some clues, but...

Xiao Qianye gently touched Yun Xiao's hair, thinking of the wound on her chest that could not be healed, and sighed in despair. Just when he was filled with worries, Yun Xiao suddenly woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes,

Seeing a frowning person sitting in front of him, he smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch the tip of the other person's nose and cursed: "Are you skipping work and running home to be lazy again? If you continue to neglect your job like this, your salary will be deducted, but I can do it after a meal.

If you don't work hard to make money, you won't be able to support the woman who ate your six thousand taels of silver!"

"How difficult can it be to raise? You've only taken a few bites of such an expensive fish. Between the three of you, you can't even eat one Hua Xiaoshuang." He regained his emotions for a moment, smiled softly, and pinched the fish in turn.

He pinched her cheek and asked, "Don't you like eating white flame fish?"

"That's not true!" Yun Xiao smiled sinisterly, leaned to the side and leaned into his arms and replied, "I'm very worried about you! I finally waited for you to come back, and the fish was cold."

His heart softened, and he smiled and said: "Let Qin Lou make another one for you tomorrow and send it over."

"No, it's too expensive." Yun Xiao pursed her lips and looked up at him, "I'm not a prodigal woman!"

Xiao Qianye looked at her and raised the corner of his mouth in a bad way, slowly stroking the ends of her hair and complained, "You are not a prodigal, but can you please stay at home and stop running around? Fortunately, that guy didn't attack you directly.

Otherwise it will be in danger for you four women to run into Xin Moduo!"

"Hehe." Yun Xiao muttered rather complacently, "He didn't dare to attack me. I kicked him out with one kick, hehe."

"Glib tongue." He shook his head and held the woman in his arms, as if the precautions he had been on for several days disappeared under her smile. She was talking to herself, and saw Xiao Yibai walking in from the door. The two of them were still talking.

When he was surprised that he didn't take a lunch break today, Xiao Yibai strode over with a serious face and said, "Qianye, Su Mu came from Xuhai. He is now in Danzhen Palace. Do you want to go over?"

"Su Mu is here?" Xiao Qianye grabbed Yun Xiao's hand and stood up immediately. King Lie returned to Yanbo Island to check the files and saw that more than half a month had passed. Could it be that there was a result?

The three of them went to the Alchemy Palace together. Before they entered, an unexpected figure came out of the white stone palace opposite the Redwood Alchemy Tower. Gongsun Yan stood by the door of the Xingxing Palace and waved to him, saying in a low voice: "Xiao Ge

Lord, please take a step to speak."

He hesitated for a moment, but Yun Xiao forcibly turned around and pushed him out. Then he grinned at him and entered the Danzhen Palace with Xiao Yibai first. He could only follow Gongsun Yan into the Star Sacrifice Palace first.

All the neat fragments of the Eye of the Sun in the main hall have been removed, and the Eight Desolate Glazed Star Instruments looted from the Eastern Mingdie Valley have also been rearranged on the high counter on the other side. The entire Star Sacrifice Palace is empty.

It made him feel uncomfortable all over, but Gongsun Yan skillfully pulled him to the inner door and waved: "Come in first, this place is covered by magic, so I brought everyone here."

As he spoke, his eyes clearly saw the bloodless Feng Yan sitting in the secret room. Gongsun Yan locked the door with a smile, quickly re-strengthened the magic barrier with the underworld butterfly, and dragged a chair.

He motioned for him to sit down and explained seriously: "The two Xinmo have been guarded by people from the military pavilion since they were arrested. I also took advantage of this time to investigate. Thanks to Mr. Fengyan's help, this investigation

The things I got are much more useful than before!”

As he spoke, he poured a cup of herbal tea for Feng Yan and handed it to Feng Yan with a smile. This smiling tiger-like character made Feng Yan, who was much older than him, smile awkwardly. A few days ago, he was rescued by Xiao Qianye on the castle road.

Gongsun Yan said he was going to send him back to his home, but he actually took him directly to the Star Sacrifice Palace without hesitation for a minute. As one of the three pavilions and two palaces in the past, the Star Sacrifice Palace was undoubtedly suitable for a businessman like him.

Full of unknown fear, but after all, escaping from death and picking up a life is better than being captured anywhere. He never expected that the other party just arranged a safe secret room for him, and even asked a Buddhist priest to guard outside.

Protected him the whole time.

Such a prepared posture made Feng Yan, who had been struggling for thirty years, realize the seriousness of the matter. As expected, Gongsun Yan came back early the next morning. He finally knew that he had been doing business with Feng Yuhui for the past year.

Humans are Xinmo, a special race of people who roam the Liuhe Island! The more he listened, the more he felt cold sweat coming out from deep in his bones. Afterwards, he realized that everything he did had always been under the control of the young master.

Not daring to hide anything, he immediately made the most rational choice and told everything about the Wind and Rain Club without reservation.

Gongsun Yan handed over a map and pointed to the scattered areas on it and explained: "This is the ship berthing map of Luocheng River Port. It is also the largest dock on the inner island. Even I have to take time to go there in person every month.

After a turn, the Luohe River continued forward to the canal near Dingxing Mountain, which can connect the three water systems of Dongming. After the fragmentation, the Xiaoxiang River, Crescent Moon Spring and Li River were affected. The water potential was not as good as before, and there were many fewer ships. However,

Sanjiang has almost recovered this year. I checked the Chamber of Commerce files of Fengyuhui in the past year and found that their business scope is very wide, and they are involved in the four major areas, but in the Imperial Capital, Luo City and Wanyou City

For the main purpose, they not only own their own merchant ships, but also regularly rent them from cooperating chambers of commerce. There are probably...seven or eight ships."

Xiao Qianye looked at the map carefully. Feng Yu Hui's own merchant ship had been forcibly detained by Mirror Pavilion when the Paradise Pearl was found, but the members of the Chamber of Commerce on the ship were just as ignorant about the matter as the captured group.

They all knew that they were mixed with some fake goods and did not sell the Paradise Beads secretly. Mirror Pavilion was pursuing it openly, while Feng Mo was pursuing it secretly. The investigation results of both sides were surprisingly consistent, and they had no idea that the group of Xin Mo was hiding behind the scenes.

Got there.

If there were passenger ships temporarily rented from other merchants, then it would not be surprising that a large group of people disappeared out of thin air. Thinking of this, Xiao Qianye suddenly raised his head and glanced at Feng Yan subconsciously, and asked: "No one knew they had other ships before.

ship, you provided this information?"

Feng Yan sat upright and nodded. It was the first time he talked to his nominal "cousin" at such a close distance. He immediately felt a unique sense of disobedience on the other person, especially the pale short hair under the young face.

He looked very healthy and bright, but always looked inexplicably tired. Before he could think about it, Xiao Qianye returned the map to Gongsun Yan, and in just a few minutes he replied with a clear understanding: "So many

If the suspicious ships are detained for investigation at the same time, they will alert the snake. Xinmo's whereabouts are still unknown. I am really worried that they have other plans. Don't act rashly yet. I will go there in person later."

"You...really want to go?" Gongsun Yan pretended to ask, holding back the excitement in his heart. When he saw that he had already stood up and walked out, he said as he walked, "I will go to Danzhen Palace first to see if there is anything from King Lie.

The result is over, if Axiao is fine, I will go over."
