Silver Moon Halberd

The large carriage is full of grandeur, with jade pillows and soft couch, a few incense burners, and snacks and fresh fruits are all available.

Ye Zhenge is reclining in the middle, with his forehead resting on his forehead, and there are two Shen Xi sitting on the left and right.

Xi Xiu raised the curtain to wait and see. At this time, the carriage happened to pass through a city gate, and the scenery changed instantly as the light dimmed and brightened.I saw the waves of wheat rolling in front of me, a piece of bright gold, and the farmers who were facing the loess and their backs to the sky were busy harvesting.In the distance, green smoke curled up, the stubble was burned to ashes, and the cattle cultivated another new life on the ashes.Everything is as leisurely as a painting, making people forget the passage of time.

Coughing lightly with the tip of his nose, Shen Chuxing yelled, "I'm choking to death, hurry up and put down the curtain."

Xi Xiu reluctantly glared at him: "It's hard to serve!"

Shen Chuxing said indifferently: "My greatest strength is that I never wrong myself."

Ye Zhenge's eyes were half-closed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Listening to your words is like enlightenment. In the past, Ye thought of brotherhood and indulged his brothers too much, so that he got carried away and caused countless troubles. Ye was deeply hurt by it." If you don't help me, how can you not wrong yourself?"

"Young master indulges you if you want, who dares to speak up?" Shen Chuxing saw the wind and offered him a peach respectfully.

"I won't mess around with you." Holding up his fan to push back, Ye Zhenge sat up, gradually suppressing his laughter.

After the cup of tea, the carriage stopped slowly, and a guard outside the curtain bent his waist and clasped his fists, and said in a voice like Hong Zhong: "Cars and horses are not allowed in the inner city, please young master Ye and his companions to take the sedan chair."

The three of them got out of the car one by one, and indeed they could see the towering city gate, and the two guards below the city were guarded in chain mail and equipped with Jinhuan swords, with serious faces and extraordinary martial arts.

There was a small sedan chair in the middle of the road that had been waiting for a long time, Ye Zhenge took a look and sat on it, the bearer got up from the sedan chair and walked like flying, and passed through the city gate in the blink of an eye.Xi Xiu moved her body and wanted to chase after her, but was blocked by two shining swords.

"Hugh is rude!" Signaling his subordinates to back off, the guard cupped his fists with a businesslike attitude, "Please stay safe and don't be impatient."

Shen Chuxing held the brocade box in his arms and it was inconvenient to persuade him, so he smiled politely and blocked Xi Xiu with his body.Xi Xiu pursed her lips tightly and looked forward without squinting.

After half a stick of incense, the two shoulder-carrying sedan chairs finally came into view slowly.

Shen Chuxing and Xi Xiu sat in sedan chairs respectively.The scenery along the way is unobstructed.

A [-]-foot ramp faces the city gate and runs through the nine-story high platform. The high platform gradually narrows from bottom to top. The entire Taihe Inner City was built without manpower.

The chairs go up the stairs, and the stone steps seem to be endless, but the bearers are breathless, and even follow the servants with ease.Climbing to the third-floor high platform, a group of people suddenly turned into a path paved with gravel. The dense canopy blocked the sun, the breeze was blowing under the shade, and the birds and flowers were fragrant, making people very comfortable.After walking for a while, an elegant small courtyard appeared in front of them. The servant stopped the sedan chair and invited the two into the house. After serving the tea, he retreated to the east chamber to wait for orders.

After taking a sip of tea, Xi Xiu had searched inside and out. Shen Chuxing couldn't bear to see him, so he dragged him to sit beside him and said, "We call it a follower, and it's no different from a servant. It's not your turn to deal with such important events as Taihe City." I will participate. What's more, Yao Xingzhu has planned so hard, but what he got is a piece of waste paper, how can he let it go? The young master will not be able to get away for a while."

"The secret letter has already been delivered secretly. Since we know that Xingzhu Yao is not willing to let it go, why throw yourself into a trap and let him vent his anger?" Although Ye Zhenge pointed out, Xi Xiu still felt that the whole matter was full of fog.

Touching the brocade box at hand, Shen Chuxing said with a smile: "If the purpose of this trip is only to deliver the secret letter, there must be a more secure way, and the Ye family does not lack errands, but since the young master will do it, it is not an easy job."

A black lacquer plaque hangs high in the solemn and solemn hall, with eight gold-plated characters written on it: the sea is inclusive of all rivers, and it is as peaceful as Mount Tai.

There are three elders sitting at a round table in the hall, studying the letters intently; the clay seals belonging to the Ye family, the silk woven with the skills of the Yao people, and the letters and seals written by Yao Xue on the silk... They have assisted two city lords , Confirming the authenticity is a matter of duty.

There is a pair of wishful chairs next to the round table, and two young people are sitting there. One of them has profound features, and his face is cut with knives. moss.

The three elders whispered to each other with surprise on their faces. After discussing for a long time, the leader stood up, stroked his beard and smiled and said, "It's well received by all, congratulations, Star Master! Please wait for us to report on the succession ceremony after we select an auspicious date."

The other two also cupped their hands in congratulations.

"Hard work, elders," Xingzhu Yao bowed respectfully, and glanced at his subordinates, "Send the elders back to Yiyuan."

After handing over the letter to Yao Xingzhu, the three of them filed out.

Looking around slightly with his lowered eyes, his eyes became more sinister, Yao Xingzhu put away the letter, stretched his arms and said, "Master Ye, please."

"Please." Ye Zhenge nodded slightly, and followed him out of the hall.

Yao Xingzhu's residence is located on the ninth floor of Taihe City, and above that is the most coveted peak - Zhenlong Terrace.

Entering the courtyard, Yao Xingzhu changed his composure, took off his cloak and threw it at the maidservant, striding towards the house: "Good wine and good food are ready! I want to get drunk with Young Master Ye!"

The courtyard is simple on the outside, but extremely luxurious on the inside. A table, a chair, a bottle and a bottle are all worth a lot, and the bed sheets on the couch are made of tufts of back hair from hundreds of minks, and the color is as white as snow. , smooth and flawless.

Leaning on the couch, Yao Xingzhu held up the glass cup and respected to the other side of the short table: "This wine has been treasured by the eldest brother for several years, today a distinguished guest is coming, I will be the master for the elder brother and invite Young Master Ye to drink with him."

"It's disrespectful, do it first and respect it," Ye Zhenge raised his head and drank it, and then poured himself another cup, "I wish you success as the city lord, Taihe City, the wind and rain will be smooth, and the people will live in peace."

After drinking a glass, he raised his glass again: "I will rely on you in the future, and hope to have a happy cooperation."

Seeing him drinking three cups in a row, Yao Xingzhu took a sip slowly: "I'm in a good mood today, but it's a pity that my elder brother can't share this joy with me."

With drunken red on his face, Ye Zhenge smiled and looked away: "Good wine and good mood, we should also talk about some relaxing topics."

"Would you like to talk about a game that my eldest brother and I used to love?"

"Second Young Master is so elegant, Ye Mou listens all the time."

Rubbing the wine glass with his fingertips, Yao Xingzhu lowered his eyes and said quietly: "Brother, there was a treasure that I wanted very much before he was alive, and it happened to be my favorite. To be fair, the treasure was worn around the neck of a wild cat. Whoever grabs it first will win." I can have it. I tried my best to subdue it, but unexpectedly, it replaced the real with the fake! The treasure originally belonged to our brothers, and this game is also an entertainment between my brothers, but in the end it was not only Rules-abiding wildcats lose their spirits."

"Humans have their own rules of the game, and beasts have their own way of survival. Since the treasure is worn on the wild cat's neck, it is no longer just for humans to decide."

"Oh? You don't think it deserves to die?"

"Whether it deserves to die or not is a matter of later discussion. Whether you dare to call it dead or not, you should first ask yourself carefully."

Bend his elbows on a short table, Yao Xingzhu leaned forward, stared at Ye Zhenge's eyes and said in thought: "As far as I know, the Ye family's patriarch has not shown up for many years, and the business has been taken care of by Gu Qiya. You are a young master in name only."

The fan slapped his palm lightly, and Ye Zhenge said with a light smile, "It's fine for outsiders to make such guesses. How can the future city lord of Taihe City not see the situation clearly? It is evident that my father can entrust me with such an important task."

Yao Xingzhu also smiled lightly, poured wine for him and handed it over to him. Ye Zhenge took the wine glass, and the fire in his stomach burned more and more intensely!

At this time, there was a cool voice outside the house, very pleasant to the ear: "Report to the master, Young Master Ye has brought a gift."

"Come in." Yao Xingzhu opened his robe and left the bed.

"Squeak!" The door rang, and a person walked in with a brocade box in his hand and lowered his eyebrows. He placed the brocade box on the table in the hall, and then brought a basin of clear water.

Yao Xingzhu stood by the table and ordered: "Qing Yan, Young Master Ye is too strong to drink, so you are good at serving."

Qingyan led the order to walk to the couch, and helped Ye Zhenge up.

Ye Zhenge smiled wryly from the bottom of his heart, thinking that it really was a "Hongmen Banquet". After standing still, he brushed away the other party without a trace, stepped forward to lift the lid of the box, took out the contents and carefully put them into the basin.

I saw a lifelike wooden boat, with a fisherman squatting on the bow holding a fishing rod, and the fishing line was hanging straight down to the bottom of the water.Not long after the wooden boat fell into the water, dense mist rose around it. As the mist thickened, a gust of icy cold hit the face. After a while, the thick fog faded, and a more wonderful scene appeared in the eyes: the fisherman caught a thumb-sized fish on his fishing rod. The fish is exquisite and clear!

Ye Zhenge stroked it lightly, and the fish fell into the white glove, jumped twice like a living thing, and dissipated like smoke.

"Good! Good!" Yao Xingzhu waved his palm, "Qingyan, step back!"

Qingyan took a quick look at Ye Zhenge, bowed and left without saying a word.

"There is only one person in the world who can do such an exquisite mechanism. I didn't expect Yanshi Dan Lingzhi to be in our Taihe City!" Yao Xingzhu was very interested, but he seemed to remember something, and immediately his eyes dimmed, and he said angrily, "I just hate it." I have raised a group of idiots, I watched you go in and out of a brothel all day long, but I couldn't even investigate the background behind it! Your two followers are even more leisurely, and they went to the gambling house and brothel all over the place, making my people go around !"

Ye Zhenge shook his fan, and said: "You are confident, why bother."

Yao Xingzhu's expression became very strange, and he lowered his voice and said, "What are you planning?"

"Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish." The fan pointed to the wooden boat in the water, and Ye Zhenge said bluntly, "The will is clearly written in black and white, but I not only want ten large ships to cross the sea, but also your Yao family's shipbuilding blueprint. The completion of this transaction is also beneficial to the friendship between the Ye family and Taihe City."

"Hahaha!" Yao Xingzhu laughed loudly, shaking his head while laughing, and sighed, "The boat is my father's promise to the Ye family, and I will obey it. But the drawings... Young Master Ye, why do you have the confidence to say such a thing?"

"You can state your terms."

"What if I take your life?"

"Save the unrealistic demands."

Yao Xingzhu snorted coldly, remained silent for a while, and said: "I have been puzzled before, why did you take over such a thankless job as the young master of the Ye family? What you have worked so hard for is ten big ships, but if you want to obtain them successfully, you must meet one condition..." His words were reserved, and he paused before continuing: "On the surface you are cornered by me and your elder brother, but in fact It was my brother who fell into your trap. You spent a full three months laying the bait while building the plank road openly and keeping the warehouse in the dark. It made us sleepless and miserable. When we were approaching Taihe City, you started to draw the line, and as a result I What I got through all kinds of hardships was a forged will, and what my eldest brother got was the last straw that crushed me! You separated my brother from heaven to man forever, and you just reaped the benefits yourself, so why are you talking about friendship?!"

Ye Zhenge didn't make excuses, he just said: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things, if you want brother to talk to me, he may not have your compassion."

"He is not benevolent, but I cannot be unrighteous." Yao Xingzhu took out a piece of letter paper from his sleeve and waved it, and said with a half-smile, "I have kept this false will until now, and I have been reluctant to throw it away. At that time, I thought you were a heart of compassion, but unexpectedly You are actually repaying your kindness, and the lion opened his mouth."

Ye Zhenge's smile was in a trance, and he barely calmed down and said: "Want to repay your kindness? From this point of view, Ye's good deeds were not in vain."

Surprised that he had slipped his mouth, Yao Xingzhu's handsome face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he said unwillingly: "Brother's life is left by me, if I hadn't placed Qingyan by his side, he would have died long ago!"

Ye Zhenge shook his head slowly: "I have no intention of interfering in your city's internal affairs, let's get down to business."

After looking at him for a while, Yao Xingzhu changed the subject and said: "I have also heard about the grievances between the Ye and Feng families. Back then, when Ye Qing refused to marry, the Feng family forced him to submit with a large amount of goods stranded in Qiongfu Harbor. My father and his siblings wanted to help , but always underestimated the deep-rooted relationship of the aristocratic family. I guess you want the blueprints because of your revenge, but you also have Feng's blood."

Ye Zhenge's cheeks were bright red, he almost couldn't stand upright, and said in a hoarse voice: "What does my Ye family's family affairs have to do with you?"

With a sneer, Yao Xingzhu picked up the wine glass in his spare time and sniffed lightly: "I gave this wine to my eldest brother, and it's called 'Huai Qun'. I believe that Master Ye should be enlightened after seeing the first glass. It's not easy to hold four glasses... You have come from a long way, you always give me a chance to show your kindness as a landlord, Qing Yan's beauty will not wrong you, as for him, it will not be too late to continue tomorrow."

"Brave maniac! You are not allowed to trespass here!"

"Go away!"

One high and one low sounded twice, followed by an exchange of weapons!

Yao Xingzhu slammed his wine glass and pushed the door out.

Silver light and golden light flickered under the night, the silver moon faced the golden knife, one with snow skin and silver clothes, the other with black hair and green shirt, the same stunning beauty, the same master.

"Presumptuous!" Yao Xingzhu snapped.

Qing Yan jumped away, bowed his head and knelt down and said, "Master, forgive me."

Seeing the person behind Yao Xingzhu, Xi Xiu rushed forward and took him into his arms.

Ye Zhenge looked up at him and smiled almost involuntarily: "I'm fine, I'm just a little drunk."

Xi Xiu knew how much he was drinking, so she didn't believe it at all. Although she was full of anger, she tried her best to remind herself to be patient and not to cause trouble for Ye Zhenge. She gritted her teeth and hugged him tightly, "Let's go!"

Yao Xingzhu casually teased and said, "No wonder Young Master Ye is still in his arms, because he is surrounded by such beauty."

Ye Zhenge walked slowly and said softly: "Thanks for the hospitality today, I will take my leave."
