The spirit turtle and the spirit crane bent out of the cold courtyard, turned silently, walked toward the east and west, and hid into the night like a ghost.

Zhong Mansion covers a vast area, with many courtyards, pavilions, towers, waterfronts, and gardens. The main buildings are connected by corridors. At this time, the mansion is decorated with lights and red silk hangs everywhere. The servants are busy under the command of the butler.

Everyone has a smile. Tomorrow is the birthday of the head of the Zhong family for 80 years. Everyone has red envelopes to receive. Who is not happy?

Linghe straightened his waist and walked through the courtyard expressionlessly, as if the festive atmosphere around him had nothing to do with him. He came to a huge courtyard to the east, walked straight through the layers of cordons, and entered the study.

Dongyou Demon King Zhong Chengkun lay on the soft collapse, wearing a snow-white silk dress, and four handsome young men were serving him. His half-open chest was wrapped with bandages, and it was obvious that the knife wound had not healed. As soon as he saw Linghe

The figure jumped off the soft and collapsed barefoot, signaling the teenagers to leave, and asked softly: "Uncle He, what's the situation with my father?"

Linghe sighed and said, "Even if there are spiritual medicines attacked inside and outside, the signs of demon insects becoming more and more frequent, and it is already difficult to suppress them. After tomorrow, the emperor will stop taking the medicine!"

"Ah? My dad gave up?"

Zhong Chengkun's eyes blew fire, and his face suddenly became ferocious as a ghost. He paused: "I'm immortal, don't he know that now is the critical moment for the next Demon Emperor? Seven days later, he stretched out his legs and died.

What should I do? Does he have my own son in his heart? If I fail to fight for the emperor, I will die without a place to bury it!"

The battle between the Demon Emperor is advanced but not retreating. The loser will inevitably be killed by the new emperor, without exception. Zhong Chengkun is in his prime and lives in Kaifeng for a long time, enjoying all the wealth and glory of the world. How can he be willing to die? Even the ants cherish their lives, let alone

He is the son of the Demon Emperor, the lofty demon king!

He knew that he had no ability to overwhelm the demons, and he placed all his hope of victory on his father. He had to rely on the prestige of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor to suppress the ambitions of others first, and after successfully taking over the throne of the Demon Emperor, he immediately cultivated and bribed a group of people.

Confidant and confidant, eradicate dissidents.

But all these beautiful fantasies are about to break.

Zhong Wannian stopped taking medicine and meant that he had ambition to die and was ready to die with the vampire worm in his body. When his body died and the people who competed for the throne had no worries, Zhong Chengkun either chose to surrender to his opponent or sit down.

Watch the Zhong family disappear.

Zhong Chengkun was both angry and annoyed, and a little nervous - there was not much time left for him! If the situation could not be stabilized within seven days, the big thing would be gone.

Linghe looked at Zhong Chengkun, who was like a trapped beast, and shook his head secretly, but besides joining the Dongyou Demon King and continuing to hide in the Zhong family, is he still better? As long as he dares to take a step forward in Kaifeng, he will never escape.

The devil's pursuit! He said in a deep voice: "The Emperor asserted that you cannot convince the public. You might as well stop your intention to fight for the emperor, so as not to become the target of public criticism and be destroyed by the other three people."

Zhong Chengkun clenched his fists tightly and said angrily: "Does he look down on his son so much? Do he think that if I give in and don't fight, everything will be fine? Let me be humble and live like a dog, and it's better to die!

”

Linghe suggested: "You ask to see the Emperor immediately and go to the Nine Nether Demon Realm!"

Zhong Chengkun's body trembled, his face turned pale, and he shook his head and said, "No, I won't go! With the old man's magical power, he was still invaded by demon insects and tortured by venom day and night, let alone me? After entering the demon realm, he was simply

There is no difference between dying and dying."

The horror of the Demon Realm lies in the mystery and unknown. There are many terrifying creatures that should have been extinct, such as vampire demon insects, demon hunting dogs, man-eating vines, etc., each with unique hunting methods. Even if you have high martial arts skills, you can't be defended. In fact,

Jiuyou Valley selects a large number of disciples to practice every two or three years, and only a few can come back alive, and more than 90% die and disappear.

Linghe sighed disappointedly: "Without the Emperor's support, we can only wait for death."

Zhong Chengkun gritted his teeth and said, "Since the old man doesn't want to help me, don't blame me for being cruel!"

Ling He was shocked and frowned and said, "The Emperor's skills are profound and he has the ambition to die. Don't do stupid things!"

Zhong Chengkun said coldly: "I'm not stupid enough to assassinate the old man. Xijue, Nanli, and Beiming each have their own weaknesses. I don't believe that they have practiced to the point where they are not invaded by all poisons. Anyway, everyone is playing with their lives.

, Let's see who is more cruel!"

To the east of Xiangguo Temple and north of Bianhe Street, it is the third sweet water alley in the night market. The alley is north-south, with five or six miles long, and brings together various authentic foods in Kaifeng. The prices are cheap and attracts countless

The civilian travelers from Qing Dynasty came to have a feast. For example, the famous yellow beard barbecue restaurant, Aunt Li wonton, Du Xiaoniang fruit drinks, etc., there were even dragons outside the door. The alley was brightly lit, filled with a rich and changeable fragrance, laughing and shouting

The sounds come one after another.

Next to a locust tree at the end of the alley, a couple set up several mottled and greasy low tables to sell grilled river fish. The charcoal fire was red and the fish fragrance blew away.

Qiao Hui and Wu Dong sat under the tree, drinking and eating fish as if no one was around. What they drank was drunk with gods, the wine was mellow and sweet, and they felt drunk in a moment.

While tearing the grilled fish, Qiao Hui squinted Wu Dong and said, "Old Wu, what do you think you are wandering around all day without doing anything?"

Wu Dong raised his chest and said, "Don't you know me yet? I want to be an official, and then go back to Luoyang with glory and teach those guys who are looking down on others to kowtow and surrender."

Qiao Hui sighed: "If you want to be an official, please invite me to the cheapest grilled fish?"

Wu Dong smiled and patted his shoulder: "We are living a life-long friendship, don't mess with those fools! When will you hand me a message and ask Captain Fu to help me find an errand in the palace?" He wanted to sign up for the imperial guards.

But seeing that Fu Jingtao became a celebrity in front of the emperor, why didn’t he hug this big thick leg? With Fu Jingtao’s recommendation, being an officer is easy.

Qiao Hui smiled and joked: "Do you do the eunuchs in the palace?"

Wu Dong laughed and scolded: "Stop talking nonsense! My old Wu family has a single lineage. I will not have ten or eight inherited incense in the future?"

Qiao Hui said: "You mean to seek a concubine with ten or eight-bedroom concubines?"

Wu Dongyi said sternly: "Nonsense! I hate those merciless men who show mercy in every way!"

Qiao Hui sneered: "Are you cheating? I can warn you that once you enter the imperial city, don't treat it inappropriately, don't say it inappropriately, tighten your crotch and do things honestly, and don't implicate the third brother!"

Wu Dong was so happy that he scratched his head. As long as Qiao Hui was willing to open his mouth, how could Fu Jingtao not help? He poured a full bowl of wine and said loudly: "I won't say much politely. When I get paid, I'll ask you to go to the alum building.

I will stop drunk!" After saying that, I raised my head and drank all the wine in one gulp.

"Puchi!" A crisp laughter came from the grilled fish stall.

Qiao Hui turned his head and saw two girls dressed in men standing pretty. One was tall and beautiful, with long legs, and the other was graceful and clever, with a charming appearance. The tall woman was full of arrogance and sneered, "Hmph, what are you looking at?"

?The two poor men want to climb the tower?”

Qiao Hui frowned and said, "What's wrong with us talking to you? Did the girl take the wrong medicine?"

The tall woman glared at her eyes and said with her hips: "You just took the wrong medicine! You dare to talk back again, believe it or not to interrupt your dog's legs?"

Qiao Hui said: "Those who insult others must first humiliate themselves. I don't have the same knowledge as a shrew."

The tall woman was so angry that her lips trembled and screamed, "Come on, kill these two rogues for me!" As she finished speaking, five or six men in green wearing swords flashed out of the crowd.

He surrounded him with his face.

Qiao Hui looked up and suddenly saw a familiar face, and shouted: "Senior Brother Liu Yunchao? Why are you in the capital?"

Liu Yunchao paused and hesitated: "You are..."

Qiao Hui smiled and said, "Have you forgotten Senior Brother Liu? I am Qiao Hui, and I went to Liu's house to celebrate my birthday with Senior Brother Fu Jingtao."

Liu Yunchao felt ache when he heard the word "Birthday congratulations", and deep hatred surged up and said coldly: "I have already left Xuanyuan Gate, don't make friends. You offended the eldest daughter of the Zhong family. If you don't want to die, you apologize immediately.

!”

Qiao Hui's hands drooped, and his true energy wandered through the meridian acupoints, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu means to kill people in the street? Is there no king's law in the capital?"

Wu Dong reached out to hold the handle of the knife at the same time, and the cold sword aura forced the other party.

Liu Yunchao felt the chill in his throat like a needle prick, and his expression turned solemn.

The smart and charming girl quickly pulled the sleeves of her female companion and whispered: "Sister, grandpa told me not to cause trouble in the near future, and not to expose our identities."

The tall woman was arrogant but not stupid. She knew that she should not have a conflict with Xuanyuan's disciples. She snorted coldly, then walked away with her sleeves. The agile and charming girl spread her tongue and quickly followed. Liu Yunchao and others breathed a sigh of relief and protected the two girls.

Behind me, there was a bustling crowd.

Wu Dong spat and said, "Is the daughter of a wealthy family amazing? Apart from fair skin and beautiful appearance, and precious skin, what else is worth showing off?"
