Sword of Coming

Mrs. Xiao Luan and her maid, master and servant, lived alone in a single courtyard in a remote area of ​​Ziyang Mansion.

If the three of them were arranged together with Sun Dengxian, even with Mrs. Xiao Luan's temperament, she would fall out.

At this moment, Mrs. Xiao Luan was standing in the lobby, and someone was sitting there. The maid had been put into a coma by that person using a secret method.

The man glanced sideways at the Baihu River Water Goddess, who was wearing a dress that was too tight, with a strange smile.

Mrs. Xiao Luan's face was full of embarrassment.

This person is none other than Wu Yi, who calls himself Lord Dongling, the real master of Ziyang Mansion.

No matter how courageous Mrs. Xiao Luan was, she would certainly not dare to enter the forbidden Ziqi Palace without permission. She would also dare to knock on Chen Pingan's door wearing a dress that was no better than that of a brothel courtesan.

It's all Wu Yi's request.

Wu Yi did not use his cultivation to suppress others, but only gave Mrs. Xiao Luan an offer that she could not refuse.

Regarding the Yujiang Water God's attempt to harm the Baihu River Water God Mansion through his connections with Longquan County.

The master of the palace, Huang Chu, has promised Mrs. Xiao Luan that he will help the river god stop his sneaky actions.

For this reason, Baihujiang Water God Mansion will have to pay a large sum of money to Ziyang Mansion every ten years for worshiping gods. From then on, Baihujiang River, like Tieguan River, became a vassal dependence of Ziyang Mansion. However, Baihujiang Water God Mansion is On the other hand, it is not all about losing money and eliminating disasters. It is just a small benefit to relieve an urgent need. After taking refuge in Ziyang Mansion, although it is inevitable to move further and further away from the current Hong Emperor and draw a clear line, Huang Chu promised Mrs. Xiao Luan that she will not be able to The 900-mile Baihu River stretched to 1,200 miles within a hundred years! The money has to be paid by the Water God Mansion, but for all the resistance from the imperial court of Huang Tingguo and the desperate counterattack of the landscape gods who have been deprived of their vitality, the Ziyang Mansion can also help to deal with it. The Baihujiang Water God Mansion only needs to pay the Ziyang Mansion according to the market price. The monks can suppress and kill them all the way.

Money is easy to find, but the length of the Baihu River determines the size and thickness of a large river's water transportation. Not only does it require the court's nod to agree to dig a waterway, but it must also encounter various strong resistances during the process. It is by no means just having money, and the Baihu River is as long as One thousand two hundred miles later, the jurisdiction of the Baihu River water area will increase. The counties, cities, mountains and beautiful waters surrounding the river will all be included under the jurisdiction of the Baihu River Water God Palace. By then, the annual income will become extremely considerable. This is What Mrs. Xiao Luan has always dreamed of is that a hundred years later, let alone surpassing Yujiang and successfully becoming the second largest river in Huangting Kingdom, even if she can leave Hanshijiang behind in one go, or even be promoted to the Water God Palace one day in the future, it can be imagined now. .

This is the real reason why Mrs. Xiao Luan is so humble in Xuemang Hall.

She must firmly grasp this prospect!

This is no longer about enduring for a while, but it is about being able to go straight on the road and flourishing.

So after Wu Yi found Mrs. Xiao Luan, he proposed a second deal. Mrs. Xiao Luan, who was already full of longing for the future, weighed the pros and cons and hesitated, but still suppressed all the grievances, grief, anger and shame in her heart. Choose to nod and agree.

Wu Yi said that as long as Xiao Luan is willing to climb into Chen Ping'an's bed tonight, with that pleasure, it is equivalent to doing Wu Yi and Ziyang Mansion a favor, and Wu Yi will completely turn Tieguan River into Baihu River As a vassal, Jixiang Temple can no longer pretend to be powerful and use a river temple to compete with a big river water palace. From now on, she, Wu Yi, will say good things to Xiao Luan and Baihu River Water God Palace on the side of the Dali Dynasty. As for Wu Yi would not promise anything whether she could get a peace card in the end, but at least she would personally handle the matter.

So there was Mrs. Xiao Luan's charming night visit.

Even that light rain was a cover-up trick used by Wu Yi in the jurisdiction of Ziyang Mansion, in order to prove to Chen Ping'an that Mrs. Xiao Luan was indeed in love with you, a Jiang Shen who sincerely admired and fell in love with you at first sight. My empress, take the initiative to devote yourself to a romantic marriage without any responsibility, why not? In addition, there is another mystery. Wu Yi deliberately mentioned the karma of killing dragon monsters earlier. It was not an empty lie. In fact, she could see that there was indeed a cause and effect on Chen Pingan. How to solve it? Naturally, the Baihu River Water Goddess's own incense and merits were used to help eliminate this loss. Wu Yi said straightforwardly that he would compensate Mrs. Xiao Luan with fairy money. After thinking about it, Mrs. Xiao Luan agreed.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Xiao Luan returned without success.

That Chen Pingan didn't even let her in.

Wu Yi slowly said: "Xiao Luan, if you can't seize such a huge opportunity, you are really a waste."

Mrs. Xiao Luan smiled bitterly.

Wu Yi suddenly asked: "Is it because Chen Ping'an is not interested in women like you? Your maid looks younger and has decent looks. Let her give it a try?"

Mrs. Xiao Luan shook her head and said: "She probably can't even enter Yuanjun's building. That guy named Zhu Lian is a martial artist in the Yuanyou realm. He has been pestering me for a long time. He seems frivolous, but in fact, at the last moment, he treats me They all had murderous intentions, Zhu Lian deliberately did not hide it, so if it were her, she might be beaten to death outside the building, and the body would either be thrown out of the Ziqi Palace, or simply thrown into the Tieguan River and flowed downstream. Down, it can just float to our Baihu River."

Wu Yi rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "What does Chen Ping'an think?"

Mrs. Xiao Luan looked helpless. At that time, the guy closed the door without saying a word. Wasn't she angry?

Wu Yi looked at Mrs. Xiao Luan and said, "Xiao Luan, your beauty is already second to none in our Huang Ting Kingdom, right? Where can I find a good-looking woman for him? The worldly woman at the foot of the mountain is fine for you to take a look at. In fact, which one doesn't stink. Xiao Luan, do you think it's a plump woman like you who doesn't have an appetite for Chen Ping'an? He only likes petite and exquisite girls, or those who are extraordinarily tall? "

Mrs. Xiao Luan shook her head.

She really doesn't know.

Wu Yi sighed, "Then tell me, is Chen Ping'an a normal man?"

Mrs. Xiao Luan said softly: "It should be so."

Wu Yi said seriously: "What do you think of me?"

Mrs. Xiao Luan's back felt chills. From Chen Ping'an, to his subordinate Zhu Lian, and then to the ancestor of Ziyang Mansion in front of her, they were all unreasonable lunatics.

She had to weigh her words carefully and said something beautiful carefully, "Yuanjun has such an honorable status, how can he wrong himself in this way?"

Wu Yi waved his hands, a little frustrated, "Forget it, it's hard for you, Xiao Luan, to break into the attic and attack the overlord Chen Ping'an."

Wu Yi stood up, "But this deal, even if it doesn't work tonight, will still work for a while. You still have a chance, Xiao Luan, you can decide what to do."

Suddenly, first Wu Yi and then Xiao Luan, with solemn expressions, noticed an unusual... Dao aura.

High, ethereal, majestic, mighty, to name a few, it's wonderful beyond words.

Both of them guessed some clues.

Wu Yi said sternly: "Xiao Luan! How about it?"

Xiao Luan's mind was filled with excitement. He no longer hesitated at all, and his fighting spirit was high. The inner answer of the Baihu River Water Goddess was already unwavering.

Compared to that time when she "encountered" the ancestors of Emperor Hong on the banks of the Baihu River, Mrs. Xiao Luan's thoughts were even more intense.

After Wu Yi strode away, Mrs. Xiao Luan returned to the house to rest. She lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night.

This night in Ziyang Mansion, it rained again.

Zhu Lian stood in the corridor under the eaves of the second floor and said with a strange smile: "Okay, I'm serious about it."

————

Chen Ping'an didn't know this.

He returned to the house, and the light on the table was still on.

Chen Ping'an continued to flip through the book, looking at it, raising his head and looking around under the dim yellow light.

The book says that some people's hearts are like a demon mirror, making it impossible for the ghosts and monsters around them to hide.

But Chen Ping'an hoped that his original intention was just an oil lamp, placed on the table in his family's bare-walled ancestral house on Mubo Lane. Through that light, he could see the dust and moths that accompany him. If a guest comes to the house, they can see Chen Ping'an placing a small, crude pottery pot on the yellow clay window sill with a swaying grass in it.

Chen Pingan lay on the table.

Resting his chin on the back of his hand, Chen Pingan stared at the light.

He actually vaguely knew that there was something waiting for him to face.

Chen Pingan thought about many possibilities and felt that he was not afraid.

Only one thing, one person.

Chen Ping'an didn't dare to think too much.

There is no difference between closeness and distance in the world. This is what Chen Pingan said himself.

————

Pei Qian suddenly woke up and sat up, as if he had a nightmare.

She thought for a while, but had forgotten the content of the nightmare. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, still a little confused, so she found a talisman, put it on her forehead, and fell back to sleep.

She can see through people's hearts and see a person's state of mind, such as the bloody storm of the old cook Zhu Lian, with only one tall building standing, such as the deep pool in Cuidong Mountain, with golden books scattered on the bank.

She hid the biggest secret in her heart, and she didn't even tell her master Chen Ping'an.

As long as she looked at Chen Pingan with her heart, she would feel like she was in a small well. Looking up, there was probably a light placed on the mouth of the well, a small light, which should have scared her the most. The coward who is afraid of the dark feels warm and longing, but it happens to make her do that many times in Lotus Flower Blessed Land, looking up at the scorching sun in the sky, which makes her eyes burn and tears flow, but every time the scar heals, she forgets about it. Feeling the pain, she couldn't help but keep looking up.

When she looked down, she saw a bright moon rising slightly on the water at the bottom of the well. Below it, there was a shadow, as if there was a dragon swimming in it that should have been terrifying, but was particularly close to her heart.

The water in this well in Master's heart is spreading upward.

Maybe one day, the bright moon in the water will meet the light on the wellhead.

While Pei Qian was sleeping soundly, she subconsciously put her hand on her heart. There was a small bag of tips Cui Dongshan taught her hidden there. She said that if her master was heartbroken and angry one day, she would take it out and give it to her. Master.

————

Chen Pingan didn't sleep all night.

On a sudden impulse, he no longer wanted to stay in Ziyang Mansion and was about to go on his way, so he asked Zhu Lian to inform the steward, which was regarded as saying hello to Wu Yi.

Unexpectedly, Huang Chu, the master of the palace, rushed over quickly and tried his best to persuade Chen Pingan to stay. He said that if Chen Pingan left Ziyang Mansion like this, he, the palace master, could take the blame and resign. No matter what, Chen Pingan was asked to stay for another day or two. He wanted someone to take Chen Ping'an to explore the scenery near Ziyang Mansion. Then he told Chen Ping'an that the ancestor of Yuanjun had already gone to Hanshi River, but the ancestor said before leaving that when Chen Ping'an and the others left Ziyang Mansion, they could go from the first to the fourth floor of the Treasure Pavilion of Ziqi Palace. Each of them chooses something as a farewell gift from Ziyang Mansion. If Chen Pingan doesn't accept it, that's fine. He, the master of the palace, will choose the four most precious items in front of Chen Pingan and smash them on the spot.

Chen Pingan could no longer guess what kind of medicine Wu Yi was selling in his gourd.

This kind of shameless hospitality is so unreasonable. Even Wei Bo definitely doesn't have such a big face.

Chen Ping'an naturally wanted to leave this place of right and wrong immediately. It didn't matter whether Huang Chu smashed the four treasures or not. In the past, Wu Yi showed his courtesy without having anything to do. Later, Mrs. Xiao Luan visited and knocked on the door at night. Chen Ping'an was really worried about this. Ziyang Mansion has a psychological shadow.

But Huang Chu seemed to have expected it, and he didn't even have any shame. He also imitated his ancestors and put on a scoundrel face, saying whether Huang Chu can still be the master of the palace depends on Mr. Chen's thoughts. Could it be that in a day or two? Traveling around the mountains and rivers, asking Ziyang Mansion to show the friendship of a landlord, but Mr. Chen refuses to agree? Watching Huang Chu lose his position as palace master?

After discussing with Zhu Lianshirou, Chen Ping'an decided to remain unchanged in response to all changes and agreed to Huang Chu to stay one more day to see the nearby scenery.

As a result, when Ziyang Mansion sent someone to lead the way, Chen Ping'an felt regretful, while Zhu Lian was obviously gloating about the misfortune and didn't think it was a bad thing.

It turned out that Mrs. Xiao Luan, who had restored her graceful demeanor, was responsible for taking Chen Ping'an and his party on a tour of the mountains and rivers.

Chen Ping'an bit the bullet and took a boat docked at the Tiejuan River and sailed upstream.

In the night.

The group returned to Ziyang Mansion.

Wu Yi stood in the small courtyard of Xiao Luan's residence and asked with a smile: "How is it?"

Mrs. Xiao Luan stopped talking.

Wu Yi looked unhappy and said, "Just tell me!"

Mrs. Xiao Luan sighed, "I allowed me to give him all kinds of hints along the way, and later I was honest with him and expressed my longing for him. From the beginning to the end, Chen Pingan didn't give me a good look or say a word. . But before getting off the boat, Chen Pingan said a few words to me."

Wu Yi asked curiously: "Which two sentences."

Mrs. Xiao Luan smiled bitterly and said, "The first sentence is, 'Mrs. Xiao Luan, are you deliberately trying to kill me?'"

Wu Yi was confused.

Mrs. Xiao Luan was a little uneasy, "In the second sentence, Chen Pingan said very seriously, 'If you keep pestering like this, I will punch you to death.'"

Wu Yi stretched out two fingers and rubbed his temples.

Mrs. Xiao Luan covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly, her charm suddenly flowing out. Then she suppressed her charming expression, patted her chest, and said softly: "I know he is not joking, so I am afraid that I am really scared, but I am still a little unconvinced. But I also know that I am destined to miss this great opportunity this time.”

Mrs. Xiao Luan bowed respectfully to Wu Yi to apologize.

Wu Yi looked sideways at Mrs. Xiao Luan, "You do know how much you weigh."

Xiao Luan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly woke up and secretly glanced at Wu Yi, who was tall and slightly thin. Xiao Luan quickly looked away, she was a little embarrassed.

Wu Yi said angrily: "He Chen Ping'an is blind!"

————

Zhu Lian kept snickering and stood with Chen Pingan in the corridor on the fourth floor.

Zhu Lian couldn't help but laugh out loud and asked: "Master, how do you feel about meeting such a mindless Yanfu?"

Chen Ping'an said with a dark face: "The world is dangerous!"
