long night walk

Chapter 629 You see how I look like before

The killing in the imperial city lasted for a whole night. In the bloody ruins, Chaomu Hall and Zhaoyu Hall were relatively well preserved in the flames of war.

When Ning Feiyan returned to the sleeping hall, the corpses in the garden path outside the hall were all cleaned up by the demon army in the imperial city. Some traces of fighting and killing on the beams and gateposts and the spray of flowers and leaves were vaguely visible. Dried blood.

The morning sun is just rising, and the dawn light is floating in the clouds, coating the imperial city of the magic capital with a hazy light, as if it has been a lifetime away.

Ning Feiyan searched around in the hall, but did not see Wen Hanwei and others. She thought that these injured Taixuan disciples might have been well hidden by the young suzerain. No trace of breath was exposed.

It's a pity that now that the Demon Lord is returning to the city, no matter how well he hides, it's hard to hide from the Demon Lord's vicious eyes.

The beacon fire outside the hall gradually went out, and Ning Feiyan found the two sisters-in-law under a vine trellis in the small courtyard of the side hall.

There is an empty altar, and the courtyard is full of alcohol.

Looking at the posture, I'm afraid he must have been drinking for half the night.

Su Jing sat with one hand on his forehead, looking as if he was quite drunk, his eyes were tightly closed and he pinched the center of his brows in pain, his face was pale from drinking.

On the opposite side of her was Miss Yin, who was sitting like a thousand-year-old tree, with a lot of wine jars piled up under her body, but there was no trace of drunkenness on her face, and her eyes were clearer than before.

She held an empty cup in one hand, and rested her arms lazily on the rattan chair, looking at the brilliance of the dawn in the east, but what she saw was the boundless gray sky.

Xu felt that Ning Feiyan's breath was approaching, Yin Baishuang looked away from the sky, glanced at her, and slowly put down his wine glass: "It seems that you don't have many peaceful days to live in the demon world, I have only been mixed into the demon world for a few days, even the emperor The city was demolished."

Ning Feiyan straight to the point: "A good news, a bad news, which one do you want to hear?"

Yin Baishuang said casually, "Good news."

"Most of the imperial city has been destroyed, and the Demon Lord's wedding may have to be postponed for a while."

Yin Baishuang nodded and said: "Barely it's good news. I heard that there are [-] ancient secrets in the Shouhe River in the Demon Realm. I also think that it is difficult for the little corpse demon to find out the gate of the realm in just a dozen days. Now that the wedding is postponed, it is not bad. .”

Su Jing pinched his eyebrows and slowly put down his hands, opened his eyes and looked at Ning Feiyan: "Why didn't Si Chen come back?"

Ning Feiyan said: "This is another bad news. The devil's capital has been destroyed to such an extent, most of it is due to his masterpiece. In a rage, the devil pushed him into the dungeon. Watching the posture, I'm afraid it won't be released until the wedding date."

So in other words, there is no point in procrastinating.

The drunkenness faded from Su Jing's eyes, his eyes were extremely cold, but he didn't speak.

Yin Baishuang sneered, looking at his appearance, he was a little gloating: "I really underestimate this little corpse, he has such a great ability to make such a mess in the imperial city of the demon king, but he is also lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot , how could the Demon Monarch be so soft that he could sleep comfortably in that secluded prison."

Ning Feiyan glanced at her meaningfully, and said with a smile, "Miss Yin really makes a lot of sense."

Su Jing, who quietly accompanied Yin Baishuang to drink all night, suddenly had an outburst for some reason, and his voice was cold: "Is this the time for sarcastic remarks?"

"Miss Su Jing, don't be so angry, isn't this concubine bringing the news back to discuss solutions with everyone?"

Su Jing's gaze was as cold as a cold front, and his clear voice was full of hot blood: "That eye of yours saw me get angry."

Ning Feiyan blinked both eyes, smiled without saying a word.

Yin Baishuang spread out his hands empty-handed, and said, "I'm only responsible for distributing chess pieces, as for the rest, that's your headache."

But the reality is that even if she doesn't want to deal with it, troubles will still come to her.

An internal official of the demon tribe came through the garden, holding the demon king's warrant, calling Su Jing and Yin Baishuang into the Changqiu Palace to meet the king, there must be no mistake.

Su Jing and Yin Baishuang didn't show any timidity or panic when they heard these words, they all looked calm and composed.

Ning Feiyan didn't expect that in the troubled time after the war, the demon king would have time to trouble these two women, and it was difficult to guess what the demon king was thinking for a while.

Suppressing doubts in his heart, Ning Feiyan looked at the internal officer and asked, "Has Your Majesty summoned me?"

The internal official said in a respectful voice: "No, but if Master Sihe is worried about the two girls from Chaomu Palace, he can also go with him."

Having said that, Ning Feiyan guessed the demon king's mind in a nutshell, she glanced at the second daughter, and said: "After all, they belong to my Lord Chen, so I should take good care of them." , it is unavoidable that the emperor will lose his dignity."

Under the guidance of the inner officer, everyone quickly walked out of Chaomu Palace, and there was not much verbal communication between the three.

Passing through a stone lion at the gate of the palace, the demon generals outside were counting the dead corpses dragged out of the palace.

Surprisingly, in addition to the demon general, the Peacock King Lianhua who was defeated by Ning Feiyan at the Jungui Banquet also cleaned up the battlefield.

The corpses were piled up like a mountain, almost surpassing the palace wall. Just when the three of them were about to pass the pile of corpses, a mutilated corpse unsteadily rolled down from the pile of corpses, and fell heavily in front of the three of them. on the road.

The Mozu official who was walking in front heard the movement, turned his head immediately, and saw King Peacock Ming looking at the manxie corpse on the ground with his arms crossed with interest, and couldn't help mentioning: "Lord Lianhua, after all, this place is Chaomudian, you have to be gentle."

Chaomu Hall was originally Ning Feiyan's bedroom, but after the king returned to the banquet, Bai Lian asked the Demon Lord for Ning Feiyan, and now naturally even the people and the hall belong to the future husband.

Although the future king's husband is now locked in a prison by the devil, anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Majesty attaches great importance to that wedding.

By cleaning up the battlefield and messing around here, the internal officials don't know what King Peacock Ming is thinking.

The always domineering King Peacock Ming's attitude towards the internal officials at this moment is quite polite: "Forgive me, forgive me, it's really not polite to deal with such a tough guy, look at this little guy, I'm afraid he just learned how to handle it. The young devil with weapons, however, was able to escape many pursuits and kills. He hid in the Chaomu Palace overnight, and was arrested by the king this morning.

You said that the Manxie clan also fought fiercely in this battle, the strong and the weak from all over the clan went to the battlefield, and even this little guy who looked like he had just been weaned knew how to violate the king's prestige.

But the king saw how a little guy who couldn't even lose his saber escaped from the inspection and killing of those under the king. "

Ning Feiyan looked at the wicked boy on the ground whose waist had been cut and his heart gouged out, what King Peacock Ming said was not an exaggeration at all.

He looked like a human being at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and according to the age of the demons, he was only half a child, but his death was even more miserable than ordinary barbarians.

It was miserable, but for someone as hard-hearted as Ning Feiyan, it was really hard to touch her half-hearted compassion. After a brief glance, she withdrew her gaze and said, "Ming Wang has his own way of enforcing the law impartially, but Chaomu Palace It's not the Punishment Department, the next time King Ming interrogates rebels, remember to move to another place."

Lianhua laughed softly and said: "The traitor hid in the Chaomu Palace of Lord Four Rivers last night. This king suspected that someone was secretly covering up the traitor, so he interrogated him. If he offends Lord Four Rivers, I will I’m going to apologize to Lord River, but Lord Four Rivers really doesn’t know this traitor?”

Obviously, Lianhua didn't believe that he could escape last night's hunting alone for a seriously injured man and evil remnant.

On the surface, it is respectful and polite, but between the lines is the suspicion that Ning Feiyan is hiding a traitor.

Ning Feiyan laughed and said, "I came back from Your Majesty this morning, who does Duke Ming think I should know?"

Lianhua narrowed her eyes, glanced at Su Jing and Yin Baishuang behind her, and asked again: "The two of you were in the Chaomu Palace last night, I wonder if the two girls have seen this kid before."

Su Jing glanced lightly, and described it calmly, calmly: "Never."

Yin Baishuang also looked too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "Since you have interrogated him, you must have the answer in your heart, why waste time here and ask him."

A cold brilliance flashed across Lianhua's eyes: "This girl is very true, but this king said that this guy is a tough guy, and the whole morning interrogation failed to make him let go. Who actually protected him last night, oh yes .”

As he said that, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist, and said with a sneer: "This king found this in this kid's hand. He held it so tightly that he forcibly broke his five fingers before taking it out. Hmm... the wound medicine inside was eaten into the stomach, but judging from the material of this bottle, it seems to be something from the world, right? A young and wicked man who has never been out of his own territory, the girl said, why is there something wrong with him? There will be things for human monks."

Yin Baishuang's eyes slipped, and he really saw the five fingers of the wicked young man on the ground twisted and broken in different directions, and broken bones bared bloody from the flesh.

She calmly closed her eyes, and said with a slight sarcasm: "It's your task to find out the origin of this bottle, not mine. I have the obligation to accompany you here to talk nonsense?"

Lianhua laughed loudly, her brows raised coldly: "You are right, this king will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly for His Majesty, if I let this king know, it is true that someone from the world has sneaked into His Majesty's side. The king doesn't care if he is the master of the river or not, he will definitely tear his body into pieces!"

Yin Baishuang was not interested in listening to his yelling anymore, and the demon official was afraid that it would be too late, so he quickly led the way and took them away.

Walking on the damaged palace road, Ning Feiyan suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud, she slowed down a bit, and came to the very wide space between the two.

Ning Feiyan looked sideways at Yin Baishuang, and teased in a low voice: "The Peacock King Ming is a short-sighted idiot, he doesn't know the sect mark on the porcelain bottle, but I do.

I remember that in the early years, Miss Yin made an oath to slaughter all the demons in the world. Why, now that this demon is only a half-grown child, she is so soft-hearted that she can't help but break the oath? "

Yin Baishuang gave her a sideways glance, and wrote lightly: "I have broken more than one or two oaths."

Ning Feiyan smiled and said: "That's very true, but I thought that a crazy beauty like Miss Yin is no longer the beauty of a young girl in fresh clothes and angry horses, but now I look at it, but I can see it." It’s kind of a shadow of what it was back then.”

Yin Baishuang frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Ning Feiyan looked at her and smiled, "I want to say, girl, you are worthy of that person's favor."

In this world, only soft things can touch warmth, and how can a heartless person match.

She and Su Jing were both known to be crazy and idiotic, but in essence, from the very beginning, Yin Baishuang was a person with a soft soul in his bones.

No matter that soul is mottled and scarred by the years, inadvertently, sporadic and beautiful traces can still be glimpsed in the corner of that cold and incomplete soul.

Yin Baishuang understood the hidden meaning in her words, but to her, this kind of implied blessing was very stinging.

She lost interest in talking to Ning Feiyan, and her complexion gradually became gloomy and sharp in the morning light.

The journey was silent, and soon, the three arrived at Changqiu Palace.

There were no other ministers in the hall, only Mojun, she was sitting across the curtain, even though the room was full of lights, it was difficult to hide the condensed atmosphere of bowstrings in the room.

The retired internal officials in the palace prepared tea and cakes early, Ning Feiyan led the two of them to their seats, glanced down, and found that the wine prepared on the table was Daughter Hong from Zeguo, and the pastry was Qianqi from Weiguo cake.

Ok……

Emperor Taixuan was located in Zeguo in the south, and Cangwu Palace was in Weiguo in the west.

The pastries and wine were a clear indication that she had recognized the identity of the second daughter.

When Su Jing and Yin Baishuang saw the cakes and wine prepared on the table, although their faces were extremely ugly, they did not lose their composure.

Seeing that the situation was developing in an increasingly dangerous direction, Ning Feiyan became extremely calm in her heart.

She didn't know when the Demon Lord recognized the identities of the two girls. Maybe it was after Bai Li'an brought them back to Chaomu Palace to check their origins secretly, or it could be said that he had already seen through the disguise of the two of them at the King's Return Banquet .

No matter what, since the Demon Lord can keep them until now, he will not kill them easily.

It's just that their identities are suddenly revealed now, and I don't know what kind of deep meaning is hidden.

Before Ning Feiyan guessed too much, it was rare for the female devil behind the bead curtain not to beat around the bush and play tricks, and straight to the point:

"I already know the origins of the two identities, and even where the three Taixuan scripture masters are hiding now. I must also know the rules that do not allow practitioners in the devil world.

Not to mention breaking taboos, even my river lord harboring human monks is an unforgivable capital crime.

I invite the two of you to come here today. This wine offering is both a toast and a fine wine. As for how to drink this wine, it is all in the mind of the two of you. "

One word at a time, not to mention killing Su Jing and Yin Baishuang, even Ning Feiyan was forced into a dilemma.

However, listening to this tone, there is still room for the two of them to make a choice. Since it is a choice, it means that Su Jing and Yin Baishuang are still useful to the devil.

If not, how could he be invited into the Changqiu Palace as politely as he is now.

Ning Feiyan neither refuted nor clarified the accusation of harboring righteous monks. After pondering for a moment, he said, "What difficulties did your Majesty encounter?"

The smoke from the incense burner is faint.

The people behind the bead curtain were silent for a long time.

After a long while, the voice slowly floated away: "Does Lord Ninghe know about Milu's private raising of war slaves?"

This is not a secret, Ning Feiyan nodded and said: "I know."

"The Slave War Camp has been established for thousands of years, and it has always abandoned people to take care of Milu. Over the years, my brother has indeed cultivated some war slaves with good combat effectiveness, and successfully domesticated those righteous geniuses, but my brother seems to have forgotten Well, in the slave camp, there are all human monks, even if the methods of abandoning and domesticating are superb, there will inevitably be some dead warriors with amazing willpower."

"Your Majesty means..."

"Last night, the Manxie invaded the city, and there was no sign of rebellion. It seemed to be a long-planned civil war in our world, but their military advisor was Sikong who had lived on the fairy island where the prince Shen Jibai lived for ten years. hanging.

Behind this war, there are obviously immortals who are fueling the flames. Although the rebels were suppressed overnight, how can Shen Jibai be an ordinary person. "

Ning Feiyan's eyes flashed, and he was faintly startled: "According to what His Majesty said, the army of barbarians with tens of thousands of spiritual roots is just a cannon fodder for this battle, and the real murderous intention is hidden in the slave camp instead!"

The Demon Lord said coldly: "Master Ninghe should know, what is the purpose of the Manxie clan's march into the Demon Capital Imperial City last night?"

Ning Feiyan's face was a little gloomy: "Dragon Vein of the Capital City."

The capital city of the demon world originally originated from a huge mountain range of a dark dragon, and now there is a dark dragon sleeping under the [-]-foot-deep soil standing under their feet.

The underworld dragon is different from the real dragon. The real dragon is the god who blesses all living beings during the creation period, while the underworld dragon is an ancient demon spirit born after soaking in the underworld fire and quenching the wind of the nine netherworld.

Humans and even immortals worship real dragons.

The monsters respect the underworld dragon, and the underworld dragon was born in response to the devil's energy. Back then, the old demon king was the leader of the world, and he subdued the underworld dragon with his own power, turning it into a dragon vein that lived forever under the mountains and rivers of the demon city. Use its dragon energy to suppress the billions of ominous spirits under Houtu.

And in this imperial city, the orderly palaces are the most important for the Hades Palace where the Demon Lord lives and the Zhaoyu Hall where the most beloved eldest son Milu of the Old Demon Lord lives.

The Temple of Hades is at the heart of the dragon, and the Hall of Zhaoyu is at the tail of the dragon.

When Minglong was sealed and fell asleep, his heart was at the tail. Although the Zhaoyu Hall is at the end, it is also very important. It moves and pulls the whole body. Hades Dragon.

The underworld dragon is related to the great luck of the demon world, and the old devil has now fallen, and no one can suppress a fully awakened underworld dragon from awakening.

Even today's demon king, because of his lack of cultivation, cannot face a 10-year-old underworld dragon head-on.

That Shen Jibai didn't care about the life and death of the Manxie clan at all, his crucial move was pressing on the slave camps under Mi Lu's hands.

Milu has been imprisoned in the dark Jedi like the cave of Wanmo for nearly a thousand years, and his blood and heart are no longer what he used to be. After suffering a big loss from Si Li, he almost strives to defend himself in every battle.

Last night, the Manxie clan rebelled suddenly and fiercely. Before Bai Lian sacrificed the Tianji Umbrella, most of the troops were used to attack Zhaoyu Hall.

The defenders of the Imperial City of the Demon Capital suffered countless casualties, but the slaves who should have been generously used on the battlefield in this extraordinary period were not seen.

That was Milu, in order to protect himself, he drove all the war slaves he had cultivated for many years under the back of the palace formation, and ordered them to use their own blood and soul to strengthen the barrier of the palace protection to the point where it was impenetrable to all demons. .

Milu didn't expect that there was a killer weapon like the Tianji Umbrella hidden in the city, and he even thought that the Demon King would rush back to the capital so quickly.

So without hesitation, he stepped into the trap that Shen Jibai had set in advance, exposing the biggest secret and weakness of the demons in a grand manner.

He didn't know that among the domestic dogs that he thought he had tamed and obeyed, there were actually several wild wolves that had been coveting for a long time and were eyeing them.
