Xifeng got up and patted the dust-stained clothes, glanced at him, and said, "The Hall Master of the Spirit Palace, who makes black money, doesn't mind his own business, but just came to ask me, this is not good."

Li Qianzhan stared at her and asked, "Why didn't I take care of my own affairs?"

Xifeng chuckled lightly: "There are monsters in this palace, and there are strange tunes, you haven't seen or heard them? Instead of worrying about me, it's better to clean them up first."

"You're still like this, you don't know anything, and you make rash remarks."

"Oh." Xifeng didn't want to reason with him, that gluttonous, that piece of music might have some hidden meaning, but she didn't want to speak properly in front of him at all. She looked at him with disgust and said, "You'd better not investigate why I entered the palace, and even if you find out, don't expose me, or I'll tell you about my relationship, and you'll get into trouble..."

"I didn't plan to investigate you." Li Qianzhan said indifferently, "You think too much."

"..." Xifeng, who was beaten in the face, took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Okay, then our well water will not cause river water."

In the calm palace, there were bursts of gongs, which spread across half of the palace in an instant.

Almost at the moment when the gong rang, the already bright palace suddenly lit up with more lights, illuminating every corner. Xifeng didn't know what was going on, and was looking down when he heard Li Qianzhan ask, "Is that dragon walking around in the palace?"

Xifeng pursed her lips, she didn't tell him, she guessed it by herself.

Li Qianzhan continued to ask, "Do you know what this movement means?"

Xifeng couldn't bear others betray him the most, so he couldn't hold back and asked, "What?"

"It means that there are assassins in the palace." As soon as Li Qianzhan's final voice fell, she saw her running in the direction of Ting Accord, looking flustered and always unreliable.

Li Qianzhan was speechless for a long time, and now the sound of the song resumed, faintly coming from the forbidden garden. He looked and listened there, the song was quiet, with a faint sadness.

The guards on the night patrol had already tracked down to this side, and when they saw someone standing on the roof, they were about to shout, and when they saw the person's face, they immediately put away their weapons and asked, "Palace Master, have you found anyone suspicious? "

Li Qianzhan looked at them with a low eyebrow, and said, "No, I will continue to check whether there are monsters in the palace, you go and arrest them."

"Yes."

In the era when ghosts and ghosts were rampant, the most dignified person was not the king of a country, and the most brave was not the general, but the monster hunter, especially the monster hunter from the spiritual hall.

The national masters of the ten kingdoms all came from the spiritual hall, and ninety percent of the world's demon hunters also learned from the spiritual hall. The kings were both respectful and afraid of them.

There was a time when the monarch of a country abandoned the use of the spiritual hall as the national teacher, and as a result, evil invaded the court and the commonwealth. Rao, the monarch invited countless eminent monks and people from the mysterious door, but it was all in vain. Finally, the monarch went to the temple in person and begged them to take action.

As soon as the people in the hall arrive, all the demons are eliminated. Since then, the people of this country have believed in the Lingdian, and other countries have heard of this and even treated the people in the Lingdian as guests.

And once a year, inviting the Lord of the Hall of Spiritual Hall to stay in the palace for inspection has become the most hopeful and most reassuring thing for the monarchs of the Ten Kingdoms.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the spiritual hall has already controlled the highest power in the world.

So Li Qianzhan told the guards to step down, and they left immediately without staying.

The sound of the song is bleak, like the cool autumn wind, which makes people feel sad.

Li Qianzhan slowly retracted his gaze, for some unknown reason why Xifeng appeared here, and he was also wearing a benevolent palace robe.

Xifeng ran anxiously into the house, fearing that the assassin was Qing Yuan. She was not afraid that Qing Yuan would be discovered, but she was afraid that in the event of a riot, the palace would conduct a thorough investigation and find her beloved, and her identity would be exposed.

So now she has to hurry back to the house, lest the guards check and find that she is not there.

As soon as she jumped in from the window, she saw Qingyuan sitting at the table drinking tea. She ran behind the door with her skirt on, and opened a crack to see that there were no guards coming in, but the sound of them passing by from outside, she did I heard.

That's right, all the girls who live in Tingya Pavilion will be in the palace in the future, and the guards will all be men. It would be inconvenient to check the girls' residences.

Only then did Xifeng feel relieved, and went back to the table to pour tea, but the teapot was empty, only half of the cup left in Qing Yuan's hand. She reached out and grabbed it, raised her neck to drink it, and temporarily quenched her thirst. Qing Yuan snorted: "I have drunk this tea."

Xifeng stuck out his tongue at him: "If I don't dislike you, don't say anything."

"Oh..." Of course he didn't dislike it, but he didn't expect Xifeng to dislike it.

Xifeng remembered the assassin, not sure if it had anything to do with him, Hu asked, "Where did you go just now, did you wander around the palace?"

"It's not big, I read it once." Qing Yuan said seriously, "It's smaller than my Dragon Palace, and there are not as many rooms as Dragon Palace."

"...So you really shook it all over the place." After shaking it and stepping on someone's foot, Xifeng smelled the vinegar again.

"I went to find something to eat, and it was better than other places. We dragons are indeed connoisseurs of picky food."

Xifeng slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, stepping on his foot and complimenting him, what a strange dragon. She hummed, "I'm so proud of myself that my face isn't even red at all." She added, "The assassins are being caught outside, and it looks like they're catching you."

"Is it serious?"

"How serious is it?"

"If it's serious, then I'll just do one thing or another, pull up the palace in place, and throw the dragon out. Anyway, I've done something wrong."

"...You didn't reveal your whereabouts on purpose, did you make excuses for cutting weeds?"

Qing Yuan looked away and denied: "No."

Xifeng looked at it like this: "Don't make the idea of the Yueguo Palace, the Yueguo has no emperor, the generals will be in chaos, and the people will be displaced."

Qing Yuan paused for a while, nodded, and stopped talking about it.

"Since you were still in the palace just now, where did the song come from, and why some people can hear it and some people can't, it's strange..."

She murmured, and Qing Yuan asked, "That's the one, it sounds very sad, do you think about the song?"

"Yes!" said Xifeng, "but some eunuchs and benefactors can't hear, so it seems that it is probably a monster in the deep palace, but I don't know what monster it is, and the people in the spirit hall will let it go..."

She wanted to tell him that she saw Li Qianzhan just now, but after thinking about it, she didn't mention it. They haven't seen each other yet, and I don't know if there will be a big incident when they meet.

"Boom, boom."

Xifeng raised his head and looked out the door, alertly asked, "Who?"

"Luoliang people, it's time to take a bath, the slaves will come to give you water."

"Wait a minute." Xifeng immediately bent over, pulled Qingyuan to the window, and wanted to throw him out, "Come on, someone is coming in."

"I'm invisible, no one can see me."

Xifeng paused, if he was thrown outside, he might have to search for assassins again in the palace, and... Li Qianzhan was still in the palace.

She didn't want the two of them to meet at all.

"Then you're not allowed to make a sound, stay here, and don't peek."

Qing Yuan immediately squatted down to look at her, except for a pair of eyes that followed her figure, his body remained motionless.

The palace servant brought water in, filled the tub with water, and said, "Please take a bath and change clothes from Luo Liangren. The father-in-law has instructed that the masters will get up early and change their clothes tomorrow. After eating early, practice etiquette in the front yard."

Xifeng responded lightly on his face, and his heart was already howling.

"The day after tomorrow, all the masters will go to Tingfang Pavilion to face the Holy Spirit. The slaves wish Luo Liangren to be blessed with the Holy Fate and be named a concubine."

Xifeng laughed dryly, no matter how much she compliments her, she will not reward her, forget it!

Qing Yuan, who was still squatting on the ground, looked up, wanting to hug Xifeng horizontally and rob him outside the palace. But as soon as I looked up, I saw behind the white plum screen, the clothes fell lightly, the girl's smooth shadow lightly reflected on the screen. Gentle, like a paper-cut movie.

He was stunned, and immediately turned his back and didn't look again. At this time, there was a sound of water splashing in my ears, and it was the sound of a girl entering the water. He covered his ears, a little thirsty.

How thirsty.

Obviously just drank a pot of tea.

"Whoa... Whoa..."

The sound of the water was like a heat wave, like hot tea, pouring his heart bit by bit.

torment.

"Whoa... Whoa..."

Qing Yuan abruptly stood up and left the furnace-like room to find water to drink.

After about three quarters, the water will be cold, and the palace personnel will let the water dry, wait for her to put on her clothes, and do not see her rewarding a copper plate. He withdrew politely and indifferently.

As soon as they left, Xifeng ran to the window, but Qingyuan was no longer there. She snorted, disobedient, and ran around again, hoping not to be seen and regarded as an assassin this time.

She didn't wait for Qing Yuan to come back until she wrung out her wet hair. After waiting for a long while, sleep gradually came. Thinking that Yin Shi was going to get up, she fell back to sleep.

"huh...huh..."

The wind passed through the forest, and a one-eyed monster swept past quickly. A sudden burst of evil energy appeared, blocking its way, and before it could see who it was, it was pierced by a sharp arrow and pinned to the tree.

It screamed in pain, and the more it struggled, the more the wound was devoured.

A white and tender little girl jumped in front of it, touched its fur, and suddenly disgusted: "Your fur is not enough to make a pair of warm clothes for my mother."

It barked twice, begging her to let it go.

The little girl chuckled: "Let you go? Useless demons, damn it."

She raised her hand to kill it, but someone suddenly reprimanded it. When she looked back, she saw her mother bent over and took her hand, shook her head gently and said to her, "You are thinking about killing again. My mother said that you are not allowed to kill living beings indiscriminately."

"Why not?"

The voice was clear and indifferent, with two points of teasing.

When the little girl saw the person, she looked happy and ran towards him.

When the man saw her running, he leaned over to pick her up, and said with a smile, "Is this the monster you caught? It's getting more and more powerful, Xiao Xifeng."

"Because Lord Ye taught me well." The little girl said again, "I want to make a pair of warm covers for my mother, do you want Lord Ye?"

"Okay." He laughed again, "But your mother doesn't allow it, so kill your mother. Anyone who gets in the way will be killed, you know?"

The little girl's face changed, and she suddenly saw that the monster she had pierced through the body and hung on the tree had become her mother. She was stunned, and her heart was torn apart in an instant: "Mother—"

"Bang bang."

The person on the tree suddenly disappeared, and it turned into a flower that was blooming brilliantly again, layer by layer, into a big red flower, dyeing her cold dream red, dyed a flower warm.

She was stunned for a moment as she cried bitterly, her tears stuck in her eyes, and when she looked at the person holding her, she had turned into Qingyuan.

She was stunned again.

Qing Yuan took her into his arms and said, "Don't be afraid."

Wherever the eyes go, there are blooming bouquets, so that people can't see the cold place.

She knew it was a dream. She had had several nightmares for so many years. It was the first time that flowers bloomed again and again. It seemed that someone knew her pain, ate her nightmares, and gave her back one A dream that can never be achieved.

Tears fell from the corners of his eyes, if it wasn't a dream, that would be great.

She sucked in her sour nose and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a demon in the air. She opened her eyes abruptly, and saw a big round gray head attached to the top of the bed, eating something beautifully.

When Taotie saw her awake, he ate the nightmare he dragged out before he could eat it, and then rolled away quickly along the bedpost beam.

I don't know what it was doing when it slipped into her house a few times. Xifeng shouted "stop" and turned to the ground to chase. Before anyone chased out the door, he saw that Qingyuan had found more than a dozen teapots and piled them up. On the table, he was drinking tea cup by cup. She stopped abruptly and said angrily, "Qingyuan! You don't care if there are monsters crawling on my bed!"

Qing Yuan turned to look at her: "It didn't do anything bad."

"It came and stared at me twice, is it coveting my beauty?"

Qing Yuan nodded: "Well, you are very good-looking." With a flicker of his eyes, he saw her in her pajamas, her figure was vaguely visible, and when she thought about it again, she thought of her behind the screen, her hair was light and her two peaks were tall...

"Boom." Qing Yuan lay heavily on the table, losing all his strength, "Xifeng... find me another ten pots of water..."

Xifeng saw that he lost his powers like the banshee that day, and thought that he didn't do anything when the monster entered the house. After thinking about it, he was sure that there must be something different about the gluttonous food, and Li Qianzhan didn't care about the gluttonous food, maybe it was Li Qian. The ghost who fights is used to harm Qingyuan again.

She suddenly felt bad, ran over to cover Qingyuan with a spiritual wall, and ran to chase gluttonous.

While he was talking, the gluttonous glutton had already run far away, and when the west wind caught up to the roof, he saw his round head bouncing quickly on the golden tile, like a ball, bouncing up and down.

Xifeng wanted to catch it, wanting to see if it was a monster like a banshee, for fear that it would hurt Qingyuan.

Although it doesn't feel like it.

She followed closely, and the big head also ran very fast, and suddenly saw it hit the cornice and rolled directly off the roof.

"..." So stupid, if it is really a demon who can restrain Qingyuan, then Qingyuan will lose face!

Xifeng was at a loss for words, chasing after the roof and flying down, but there was no trace of gluttonous.

The courtyard here, like elsewhere, is full of flowers and plants, but it is different from the peony roses planted in other courtyards. The flowers planted here are all unnamed flowers.

It looks more like wildflowers.

The court people who have always paid attention to the royal majesty would plant these wild flowers and weeds

Although it is a wild flower, in this quiet night, it has a unique sense of tranquility, showing stubbornness for no reason.

It seemed that he heard the sound, and the closed wooden door was gently opened from the inside. Xifeng raised his head and looked at the open door. There was a slender figure standing at the door, looking at her from a distance.

"Who are you?"
