He was silent and could only stare into the distance. His cold and dark face seemed to have countless unspeakable helplessness …

Snow was just a little girl, so of course she didn't have the qualifications to say these words.

She only looked at the emperor's back and sighed silently in her heart.

She didn't know what had happened, but the relationship between the emperor and the empress had turned into this …

"Your Majesty! "Your majesty!"

Suddenly, an armed guard carrying a sword rushed in!

"What are you yelling for?"

"Your Majesty! We've found He Tuwang's whereabouts! So it turns out that He Tuwang really came to the capital in secret! "

"Oh? Where is it now? "

"Lonely Smoke Pavilion!"

"Lonely Smoke Pavilion? Was it the Misty Rain Tower in the martial arts world that was rumored to be the holy land of intelligence? "Looks like I'll have to go and have a look!" In Tyrant's eyes, there was a sudden burst of coldness!

"Xiao Bai. Tonight was the third. You should be awake by now, right? "

Fei Yan looked at the soundly sleeping Xiao Bai, and she wondered what kind of appearance it would have after it woke up.

Then, she turned her head to face the smooth copper mirror …

An ugly, pale man's face appeared in the mirror...

"This disguise technique is really magical!"

Despite the lack of materials in this world, he could still make it up to make it look so realistic … What the Secret Service had taught them was really useful.

If anyone were to look at this ugly man's face, they probably wouldn't want to take a second look, right?

Fei Yan smiled faintly.

This was the main reason why makeup was usually used to conceal one's identity and disguise.

No one wants to look at an ugly person...

This way it wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Such an ugly face...

What was missing?

He felt that something was wrong.

Fei Yan pondered for a long time before finally realizing that there was one less scar on her face!

Lonely Smoke Pavilion was a gathering place for the martial artists. If there was an extra scar on their ugly face, they would look more like a person from the martial arts world.

Fei Yan once again carefully took off some of her makeup and replaced it with a long knife scar …

It looked perfect.

"Knifescar fellow …" This image was very suitable and would definitely not arouse suspicion.

Fei Yan looked at the name scroll in her hand and muttered to herself. What's going to happen tonight? "

"Who is that beggar?"

"Why did he give me this card?"

"Sign the name scroll as Monstrous Young Noble."

"Is he really a Monstrous Young Noble?"

At first, Fei Yan thought that the beggar drunkard was Monstrous Young Noble, but he denied it and said that she got the name scroll from a dead person.

If the name scroll wasn't his, or if he wasn't Monstrous Young Noble's …

So how did he know something was going to happen tonight?

Although he did not personally admit to being aware of what was going to happen tonight, Fei Yan observed everything attentively, carefully observing the beggar's language, demeanor, and even the mysteriousness of his words …

Fei Yan was sure that he knew a lot of things about the Lonely Smoke Pavilion … At least she knew what would happen tonight.

What would happen tonight?

Fei Yan was curious.

Lonely Smoke Pavilion...

Fei Yan secretly hid her curiosity, changed into a man's attire and went out.

It had just become night outside …

The lights in the city were all on, and the streets were filled with people.

Fei Yan blended into the crowd, so ordinary that it was almost impossible to find anyone.

Following the address given by the waiter, Fei Yan found the location of the Lonely Smoke Pavilion. There was a sea of people outside, which was extremely crowded, and the gigantic Misty Rain Tower was emitting a low-key aura under the cover of the night.

The restaurant was tightly shut. There were many people standing outside, and most of them were martial artists with swords and sabers …

Fei Yan noticed that there was a small group of people who were dressed extravagantly and acted elegantly. Most of them looked like they were Beijing officials or disciples of big merchants.

What happened tonight?

Why did so many people come?

And why did the Lonely Smoke Pavilion have its doors shut tight?

Fei Yan felt more and more that tonight's matter was abnormal!

Didn't the Lonely Smoke Pavilion only serve martial artists?

Why are so many dignitaries here tonight?

Fei Yan looked through the crowd, hoping to find a disciple who was an official or distinguished individual to ask about the situation.

However, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

Zhuo Lei!

It was actually Zhuo Lei!

Why did he come as well?

Fei Yan originally wanted to greet Zhuo Lei, but remembering that she had disguised herself, Zhuo Lei probably did not recognize him either.

Zhuo Lei seemed to be in a hurry, scurrying in and out of the crowd. Sometimes he would pull this to talk, and sometimes he would chat with that person. He looked anxious and sincere, but the other party's attitude was very cold and indifferent.

Fei Yan hesitated for a moment, then walked over.

"Zhuo Gongzi."

She walked over and called out to Zhuo Lei, but her appearance and voice had changed, and even if Zhuo Lei saw her face to face, he would not be able to recognize her.

"You are... Do I know you? " Zhuo Lei asked curiously.

"Since Zhuo Gongzi is the owner of the four book clubs, he naturally doesn't know insignificant figures like us."

"Oh? "You know that I'm the boss of the Fourth Brother's library, do you also buy Journey to the West?"

"Of course! The story in Journey to the West is extremely interesting. I presume that everyone has one in the capital right now! "

"You flatter me!" "You're too kind!"

"Zhuo Gongzi is truly talented!"

"Actually, I am not the talented one! It was someone else. I didn't come up with this story from Journey to the West. Actually, I was just responsible for printing it! " Zhuo Lei said without the slightest bit of greed.

Fei Yan said: "Oh? "Then who is it?"

Zhuo Lei said: "This is not convenient to say! In short, that person is truly talented! "

Fei Yan secretly laughed: "This Fourth Brother is really an honest fool! How could he not brag when he happened to run into a stranger on the street? Was there a need to be so honest? However, this kind of honest man is quite cute. No wonder big sister Song likes him! "

Zhuo Lei saw that Fei Yan was dressed like a martial artist, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "This young master is … "Hero, may I ask …"

"Zhuo Gongzi doesn't need to call me hero. I am just a small character that no one knows."

Fei Yan smiled faintly. She changed her appearance, and even her smile had to be careful.

Zhuo Lei asked: "Then may I know your name?"

Fei Yan had not thought of this question yet: "This … This... My name is Yan Fei! "

Yan Fei...

In the end, it was Fei Yan.

Usually, Fei Yan would disguise herself as an identity, not only do they have to disguise themselves, but even her name, place of origin, education, and even her driver's license and ID card had to be forged. But she just wanted to sneak into the Lonely Smoke Pavilion to see what identity she had.

"Yan Fei? Brother Yan. Then I shall call you brother Brother Yan! "

"Alright."

"You can just call me Zhuo Lei!"

Zhuo Lei was good at socializing and was extremely popular. This was related to him being honest and straightforward.

"Zhuo Gongzi is being too polite! What did Zhuo Gongzi want to ask? "

"Actually, it's like this …" Brother Yan, do you have a card? "

"A name card?"

"Yes!"

"Why is Zhuo Gongzi asking this?"

"I heard that there is no name card in Lonely Smoke Pavilion's Treasure Gathering this time!"

"Treasure Gathering?"

Fei Yan was slightly shocked, she had never heard of this Treasure Gathering Assembly!

Zhuo Lei observed his surroundings and saw the astonishment in Fei Yan's eyes, and said: "Could it be that Brother Yan does not know of this matter?"

Fei Yan said, "Actually... I won't hide it from Zhuo Gongzi! I do have a name card! But in fact, it's not mine, but a friend of mine from the martial arts world. He couldn't come because he had something on his mind, so he gave me his name scroll! "

Zhuo Lei said: "So that's how it is! Didn't the friends of the Brother Yan tell you about tonight's Treasure Gathering? "

Fei Yan shook her head: "This friend of mine really likes to show off. He only said that he had some good things to take care of me, but he didn't say what it was about. He just told me to come to the Lonely Smoke Pavilion tonight! So I was curious and wanted to take a look! "

Zhuo Lei said: "Brother Yan's friends are really interesting! Oh right, Brother Yan, can I borrow your name scroll to have a look? "

"No problem."

Fei Yan took out the name scroll and handed it over.

Zhuo Lei flipped through the name scroll, then said: "Brother Yan. I have a presumptuous request, I wonder if I can ask Brother Yan for it? "

Fei Yan said: "Zhuo Gongzi can tell us more."

Zhuo Lei said: "The Treasure Gathering this time is very strange and strict! It was said that anyone who hadn't received a name card was not allowed to enter! Brother Yan must have seen it just now, that Lonely Smoke Pavilion had closed his doors to thank his guests for dinner tonight! "We'll just wait for the hour to arrive before we open the door and let the person with the name scroll in!"

"You can't enter without a name card?"

"Yes!" To be honest, Brother Yan, I do not have a card, so I would like to invite Brother Yan to go in with me and my two friends from outside! "

Zhuo Lei looked at Fei Yan with great anticipation, as if he was afraid that she would be rejected.

Fei Yan asked: "Earlier, I saw Zhuo Gongzi looking for people to talk to. Could it be that this was the place I was looking for people to borrow this invitation from?"

Zhuo Lei said somewhat embarrassedly: "That's right! It was just that these martial artists had always been proud and arrogant. Tonight, there were simply too many people who wanted to borrow a name card, so there were many martial artists who were extremely impatient and haughty. To tell you the truth, Brother Yan said that I, Zhuo, has already met with a lot of trouble tonight! "

Fei Yan asked curiously: Could it be that a lot of people did not get their name scroll tonight?

Zhuo Lei nodded his head: "It is said that among the treasures that the Lonely Smoke Pavilion is auctioning off this time, there is an unrivalled treasure! However, the Lonely Smoke Pavilion has always only dealt with the martial arts world's people, so this time, the people who received the name card are all the famous people in the martial arts world. "

Fei Yan asked curiously: "I heard that the Zhuo Gongzi is a member of the Zhuo King's Mansion. With the status and prestige of the Prince Zhuo's Mansion, even if they didn't receive the name card, it shouldn't be difficult to find two in the Jianghu, right?"

Zhuo Lei said somewhat bitterly: "Brother Yan doesn't know! In fact, this Zhuo was indeed from the Prince Zhuo's Mansion, but I made a big mistake and was chased out of the Mansion! Besides, this is my personal matter and not the Zhuo Family's. So I can't ask for help from my friends in the martial world! I wonder if Brother Yan is willing to help. "

Fei Yan said: "Of course! I'm just afraid that I won't be able to bring anyone in. "

Zhuo Lei hurriedly said, "That won't happen! No! It seems like at a gathering like this, the people invited are people with status and status. These people will bring around three to five followers or bodyguards wherever they go, so as long as we pretend to be the followers of the Brother Yan, we will definitely be able to sneak in! The name card did not have a specific signature on it. In other words, you don't even need to check your identity. As long as you have a name card, you can enter. "

Zhuo Lei had roamed the upper class of the capital, and was good at socializing and interacting with society. He had roamed the world with various kinds of power and benefits, and naturally knew of the unwritten rules that others couldn't see.
