Fairy, please let me explain

Chapter 722 Secret Meeting
That night.

The full moon is bright, and the light in the clear autumn is like a waterfall.

Di'an is brightly lit and bustling with people.

Today's Di'an is like a besieged city.

People inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in.

The Great Yan Imperial Guards have already blocked all the land, sea and air routes to the Imperial Capital, but this has not affected the prosperity of the city. Pedestrians of all kinds are filling the streets and alleys of Di'an, and there are endless streams of wine shops, casinos, brothels and Hakka people.

A scholar who shows off his knowledge by talking eloquently in a restaurant.

Qianshou, whose cultivation was destroyed, was thrown out of the casino.

The wealthy businessman with a big belly left the store and pinched the prostitute's buttocks in front of the door of Yu Qinglou.

Also, after the prostitute turned around with a coquettish smile, she lowered the corner of her lips to reveal a hint of disgust.

The blockade of Di'an and the tension hanging in the sky have made the streets that never sleep even more prosperous.

Xu Yuan shuttled through the bustling streets, his figure shrouded in a layer of mist, like an invisible ghost watching all kinds of living beings.

He's very fast.

Every time he took a step and put it down, he would pass a distance of a hundred feet.

Li Yunqing had already left, and the person he met tonight didn't like these places with willows and smoke, so naturally there was no reason for him to stay here.

Tonight is the day that Li Yunqing agreed upon before leaving.

Sishui Temple was built on the east side of Di'an. Xu Yuan had heard of its elegant name before, but had never been there and had no interest in visiting it.

Because Sishui Temple can be said to be a Taoist temple, or it can be said to be an elegant inn under the name of a Taoist temple. Most of the people who stay here are dignitaries who like quietness.

For high-level cultivators, traveling in a carriage represents more of a sense of majesty and ritual. Xu Yuan was traveling tonight for a secret meeting, so naturally he didn't need these. His extraordinary cultivation allowed him to reach his destination quickly.

This is a complex of buildings surrounded by lush forests.

The moonlight is shining, the lights are twinkling, and it looks quiet and elegant at first glance.

After a quick glance with his spiritual vision, Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows unconsciously.

A lot of strong people.

In this area with a diameter of only two miles, there are actually seven or eight cultivators at the Origin Realm living in seclusion.

Without any intention of informing, Xu Yuan used the Stepping Void Slash to cross the boundary of the formation restriction and headed towards the elegant courtyard residence in the deepest part of Sishui Temple.

In that courtyard,
He saw a middle-aged man in a dragon robe sitting quietly admiring the moon.

No drinking, no tea, just watching the moon.

Her eyes were gentle, and her jade-like gentle temperament seemed to blend into the soft moonlight.

Li Yucheng.

Facing the crown prince of the current dynasty, Xu Yuan did not want to be too rude, so he walked along a tree-lined path to the main gate of the courtyard.

Stand still for a moment,
Dark shadows flicker,

A red-robed eunuch instantly stood in front of the closed courtyard gate.

Wang Lingchi did not attack blindly. He stared at the figure shrouded in black energy, feeling the unfathomable aura, and spoke in a feminine voice with caution:

"Stop. We don't want to offend you, so please state your identity and purpose."

Xu Yuan removed the black qi, revealing his true face. He looked at the prince's companion, whom he had met once before, and said with a smile:
"Eunuch Wang, please move aside. I have something important to discuss with your master tonight."

The moonlight is quiet,

Wang Lingchi stared at Xu Yuan for a long while before hesitatingly asking:

"You are the Third Young Master?"

Xu Yuan chuckled and walked closer slowly:

"Why, after not seeing you for over a year, have you forgotten who I am? Or do you want to see the Prime Minister's token on me?"

Last year, when he and Li Qingyan were on their way back to Beijing, Li Yucheng had sent this eunuch to win them over.

At the beginning, the other party's transcendental cultivation was unattainable.

Now look at it again,

Just average standard.

As Xu Yuan got closer, Wang Lingchi was oppressed and subconsciously started to practice his martial arts.

He judged that the Xu Changtian in front of him was someone else impersonating him.

When I first saw him, he was just a Condensed Soul.

In more than a year, he went from condensing his soul to becoming a mortal.

Is this a joke?
in silence,
Wang Lingchi's feminine voice sank slightly:
"Please show it to me, Third Young Master."

"Big companion."

The voice has not fallen,

A gentle voice came from the courtyard.

Li Yucheng had a high level of cultivation, so he naturally sensed the changes outside the courtyard:

"Please invite the Third Young Master in."

Wang Lingchi froze slightly when he heard this. He was about to speak, but in the moonlight he caught a glimpse of the young man in fancy clothes, who had quietly approached him without him noticing.

Xu Yuan raised his hand and patted his stiff shoulder, speaking softly:
"Eunuch, this time you used your energy to lock me up, and I can forgive you for your loyalty, but you won't be so lucky next time."

After all,

Xu Yuan brushed past Wang Lingchi, pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard.

The courtyard is covered with green grass and filled with the fragrance of flowers. There is only a stone table and two stone benches standing quietly.

The moment Xu Yuan stepped in, Li Yucheng stood up to greet him.

I couldn't see clearly just now because the distance was too far. Now when I see him again, he has changed a lot.

Compared with the last time we met a few years ago, Li Yucheng looked the same, but at first glance he looked much older.

There were strands of snow-white in her tied-up black hair, and there was a lot more weariness in her starry eyes as calm as a lake.

It seems that the prince has not had an easy life in the past six months.

Walk closer,

Li Yucheng looked at Xu Yuan in the shadow of the courtyard gate in the moonlight, bowed, and said:

"Third Young Master, before the New Year."

"Shhh."

Unexpectedly, Xu Yuan not only did not return the greeting, but directly interrupted him.

Xu Yuan's eyes passed over Li Yucheng, and he stared at the backyard for a few breaths with half-closed eyes. A strange arc appeared at the corner of his lips, and he asked:

"Prince, do you have two eunuchs?"

Li Yucheng was stunned when he heard this, then he realized something, lowered his eyes and shook his head and said:
"The royal family has always only trained one personal companion for the royal family?"

"That's it"

Xu Yuan murmured, staring at the backyard and whispered:
"I just said that I don't like being locked up by eunuchs with Yuan Qi, and now you're doing this again. Isn't that a bit too disgraceful of you, sir?"

"."

The night wind blew across the lawn, raising a rustling sound in the wheat waves.

Li Yucheng stood aside, his expressionless face revealing nothing he was thinking.

He roughly guessed who was hiding in the backyard.

The Emperor’s close companion, Eunuch Nie.

Li Yucheng knew that he would be monitored, and was prepared to play dumb or have a secret conversation with Xu Yuan, but he didn't expect that Xu Changtian would dare to overturn the table as soon as he came up.

When no one responded, a silent atmosphere began to spread.

After a while,

Xu Yuan suddenly grinned.

In fact, he didn't notice that there was someone hiding in the backyard at first. It was not until the other party used his soul to investigate him that he realized that Prince Li Yucheng was being monitored when he traveled.

But Xu Yuan could also understand this.

The words I spoke just now were to persuade them to retreat.

If the other party is sensible, he should leave immediately. After all, it is not decent to hide after being discovered.

As a result, the other party dared to ignore him.

Nodding to the prince, Xu Yuan walked past him and headed towards the backyard. As he walked, Xu Yuan said slowly:

"I've said this, but you're still refusing to leave?"

The words fell,

Xu Yuan disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Almost at the same time, a loud explosion suddenly sounded in the backyard!
"Boom————"

The tranquility of Sishui Temple was disturbed by the sudden burst of air.

The lights in the scattered houses in the forest were turned on.

A powerful person with a strong aura was disturbed and was about to investigate in the direction where the sound came from.
"If you don't want to die, you'd better learn to take care of your eyes."

The dull voice spread over the sky above Sishui Temple, and the powerful pressure from the strongest and most extraordinary person swept out directly.

Sensing this aura, the powerful Origin Masters who had been living in seclusion here withdrew their minds and intentions to explore, and two of them even turned directly into escaping light.

When everything is calm,
Xu Yuan just set his sights on the man in black in front of him.

A pit several meters in diameter appeared in the backyard.

In the middle of the pit,

Xu Yuan maintained the action of chopping down with the sword.

The man in black stood there, his eyes deep.

The blade, with a cold glow, stopped an inch in front of his forehead and could not move forward an inch.

Everything seemed to stand still.

The blood-ink sword marks that Xu Yuan had just swung out formed graceful arcs in the air.

This was probably the first time Xu Yuan saw someone wearing night clothes.

He was dressed in black, and the material seemed to be very special. Combined with his breath-hiding technique, even his spiritual vision had not detected the other person just now.

"The Third Young Master's temper remains the same as always."

The black-clothed man's voice came from under the black scarf, muffled and unclear: "Such a cultivation level can be called amazing, but the accumulation of time in cultivation is also very important."

Xu Yuan flipped his palm, and the sword in his hand disappeared. He glanced at the man in black and walked towards the front yard:

"Get lost now. I don't want to get into a fight."

The man in black dusted himself off, stared at Xu Yuan's back and said with a smile:

"Third Master, this won't do. I can't abandon the mission I've been given halfway."

Xu Yuan paused, glanced back at the bloody ink stains in the air, then looked at the man in black and asked:
"You said this,
"Are you confident in your own cultivation, or are you confident in your backers?"

"."

The corner of the man in black's eye twitched.

Xu Changtian thought he had guessed his identity, but he still dared to say such things.

Xu Yuan ignored all this, his eyes flashing with murderous intent:
"I'll say this one last time, get out of here."

The man in black suddenly laughed:
"Third Master, I have already explained it to you. I cannot leave."

Xu Yuan also laughed when he heard this, and said without any context:
"Eunuch, I am not a swordsman. If I don't want to be respectable, then I can only help you be respectable."

After all,

He disappeared into the backyard.

Just as the man in black was puzzled, the sudden change in the surrounding atmosphere caused his pupils to shrink suddenly.

The blood-colored ink marks that were floating in the air suddenly changed, glowing with an enchanting red light, forming a network of prison cells that enveloped the entire backyard!
At the same time,
Over the backyard,
Out of nowhere, a vortex of blood appeared.

As the wind surges,
A fingertip-sized ink ball condensed in the center of the blood.

The heart-pounding fluctuations on it made the man in black's eyes twitch unconsciously. He suddenly felt that he seemed to have underestimated the courage of this plague god.

Knowing his identity, he still dared to kill him.

Just thinking,

The man in black raised his hand and condensed a layer of light shield, ready to block the opponent's magic.

But the next moment,
But out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a scene that made the hairs on his neck go down.

The fingertip-sized ink ball appeared beside him without warning.

The moonlight shines on it, but there is no trace of luster.

“.”The man in black.

A flash of white light passed by, and a fingertip-sized ink ball spread to dozens of feet, covering the entire backyard.

Wait for it to dissipate,

Except for the man in black, everything in the yard had been destroyed, leaving only a spherical pit.

The man in black was breathing heavily, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

Although it is a first-time killing type of technique,
But he who is near the saint,
He was almost forced into this state by a move from a kid who had just entered the mortal stage?

In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind.

When the man in black looked towards the front yard,

Xu Yuan's smiling voice came faintly:

"Eunuch Nie, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. The magic you just used only showed 30% of its power, so please go back. The emperor will not blame you."

"."

After a moment of silence, Eunuch Nie bowed towards the front yard:
"We will convey the Third Young Master's words to His Majesty."

"As you wish, but before that, please trouble Eunuch Nie to deal with the Imperial City Division and the Imperial Guards who have arrived."

"As you wish, young master."

"Thank you very much. I will ask you for advice on the issue of eunuchs and palace maids eating together later."

"."

Eunuch Nie's cheeks twitched and he jumped away.

Sensing that the eunuch had left, Xu Yuan, who had already stepped into the front yard again, bowed to the middle-aged man in the python robe under the moonlight and smiled calmly:
"Okay, Your Highness, now that all the outsiders have left, we can talk business. Please come in."

After all,

Xu Yuan half-drooped his eyes and stretched out his hand to signal the prince towards the stone table and stone bench in the courtyard.

Li Yucheng's expression remained the same, but he stood there without moving.

What a big show of power.

was silent for a while,
Li Yucheng just said quietly:
"Third Young Master, you are really putting me on the flames. If I am not careful, I will be burned to death."

Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head, walked under the green shade, sat down at the stone table, and said with a smile:
"Your Highness is wrong. I am here to help you again."

Saying,

He raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yucheng who was still standing there, and asked with a smile:

"Prince, won't you sit down?"

"."

Xu Changtian has become the host, but Li Yucheng finds that he seems unable to refuse.

He walked to the desk in silence and sat down opposite Xu Yuan.

"Prince, are you drinking wine or tea?"

As he asked casually, Xu Yuan took out a bottle of fine wine and a cup from his Xumi Ring, poured a cup for each of them, and said with a smile:

"The last time I drank was with Yunqing. After he left, it would be hard to find someone to drink with."

Li Yucheng did not want to get into Xu Yuan's negotiation rhythm, so he just said:
"In this case, my father will definitely judge that I am in cahoots with your Prime Minister's Mansion."

"You can't blame me for this. It was Li Yunqing who called me here. I think given his personality, he must have already informed you, the prince, before leaving the capital. The fact that you are waiting here tonight means that you have agreed to it, doesn't it?"

"But Yunqing probably didn't expect that the Third Young Master would directly attack Father Emperor Otomo."

"Is there any difference?"

Xu Yuan took a sip of the fine wine, stared into Li Yucheng's eyes, and sighed:

"Your Highness, let's not lie to ourselves.

"Li Zhaoyuan has deployed 100,000 troops to the north of Di'an City. He may be summoned to enter the city at any time. Once he enters the capital, you will be powerless to save the situation."
