The delicate boat stopped slowly on the shore.
The woman in the pavilion was no longer interested in playing chess. She looked at Li Tianlan and Huangfu Qiushui standing on the boat. She was silent for a while and said in a soft voice, "old man, I'll go and have a chat with him."
The emperor nodded and said nothing more.
The woman turned and left.
Some hasty footsteps, a middle-aged man looks solemn carrying a tray to the pavilion.
There was a pot of wine and a dish of peanuts in the tray, and nothing else.
The man nodded to the woman and walked slowly into the pavilion.
Dique had already stood up, and his body became more and more straight. At this time, he was lowering his head and playing with the black and white pieces on the chessboard. This game was far from the end stage, and naturally he could not see the outcome.
The old man held the white chess, but the black flag in his other hand was confused. The strangulation of the black and white chess turned into a one-sided crushing. The old man looked at the black chess with great interest and could not return to the sky any more. He slowly laughed and was happy like a child.
The middle-aged man stood motionless in front of the old man with a tray. Looking at his smile, his heart suddenly soured and his voice became hoarse: "ancestor, the wine you want."
"Tonghui, sit down."
Emperor lacked to smile to move to wave a hand, signal middle-aged man sit down: "Our Home Yang Yang with your home small treasure son how?"
"Good. I told you some time ago that I would travel after graduation."
The middle-aged man felt uncomfortable, but he forced himself to smile. He was Jiang Tonghui, the younger brother of Jiang Tongye, the head of the Jiang clan. He was the real number two in the Jiang family. At this time, his heart was empty when he saw his ancestors' more and more powerful spirit.
The emperor's surname is not Jiang.
When Jiang's old master took him to the island, let alone Jiang Tonghui, their father, were still young. By the time they were born, Dique had already become a famous sword in the dark world. He had been on the island for many years, and canglan's Jiang family had become the most powerful sword family in decades because of his existence.
Dique is not surnamed Jiang, but he is the most important person in the Jiang family. No matter before or after he sealed the sword, the old man who devoted his life to canglan and Jiang never interfered in Jiang's affairs. Most of the time, he stayed in this pavilion, looking at the surging river and the vast North Sea.
He was silent, but the whole Jiang family was very strong because of his existence.
But today
The corner of Jiang Tonghui's mouth moved, and he suddenly said in a low voice: "Laozu, it's still time..."
His voice trembled with pain and murmured, "there's still time."
In the world where the sword has been sealed and the power has been maintained for more than 20 years, the emperor wants to return to the peak by force at the age of more than 90 years. It is bound to take time. If he does not want to die, he may not have no way now.
The emperor lacked to see him one eye, his eyes for the first time flashed a to put on like the sharp blade.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Jiang Tonghui lowered his head and bit his teeth: "Laozu, I'm not afraid of death. Jiang's Island is now poured with our blood. If possible, I'd like to fight with Li Tianlan with Jiang's elite. It's no big deal..."
"You don't represent Jiang."
Emperor lack calm way: "in the eyes of the people, I don't fight, no matter how many people out of the Jiang family, are cowardly."
"It has nothing to do with timidity."
Jiang Tonghui whispered: "it's just worth it or not."
Emperor lack looked up at him, quietly, silent.
"It's obvious that his majesty didn't do a good job this time. It doesn't matter right or wrong, but he didn't do a lot of things last night. That's why Li Tianlan swept the North sea today. Strictly speaking, what Li Tianlan wants is an account. It's a matter of Emperor Bingshan. I don't think it's worth fighting with Lao Zu. Many people also think it's not worth it."
Jiang Tonghui said quickly.
Emperor lack looked at him and suddenly laughed: "who else thinks it's not worth it?"
Jiang Tonghui turned pale and did not speak.
"Wang Xiaoyao? Or Wang Qinglei? "
Emperor lacks initiative to ask a way.
Jiang Tonghui gave a wry smile, but he wanted to say nothing.
"Stay away from them."
Emperor que said calmly, "I'm not surnamed Jiang, but I've always regarded myself as a member of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family has always regarded me as one of their own. Now I have the highest seniority in the family. For so many years, I haven't asked you anything, but recently..."
Dique looked him in the eye: "I have to ask you. Or it's an order. Stay away from them. I'll talk to your elder brother later. During this time, you can put down the things in the clan and go out to have a rest. "
"Laozu..."
Jiang Tonghui's face changed slightly: "why?"
"To keep you alive. Let the Jiang family be in good condition. "
The emperor is short of cold hum a, slowly way: "Wang's internal affairs you also dare to participate in?"? Pig brain! It's not clear whether it's an enemy or a friend. Why do you dare to join in? Wang Qinglei, I'm not sure, but how can Wang Xiaoyao be so simple? You are a member of the Jiang family. You are a member of the sword family. It's the responsibility of the sword family to guard Wang's family. Some things can't be touched. Don't you understand? "
After a pause, the emperor laughed at himself: "as for me, who is immortal... Hey... My grandson's son can fall in love with your daughter. If I live my life, what else can't I see?"
He popped a drop of wine out of the jug and wrote four words on the table.
"For hundreds of years, this is the insistence of the Jiang family. I dare not live up to these four words even when I am old. You are not worthy of these four words even if you are a little boy. Do you understand?"
Brave and loyal.
Jiang Tonghui looks at the handwriting that emperor lacks to write, silent.
The emperor waved: "you go."
Jiang Tonghui stood up, slowly turned and walked out of the pavilion.
There is a wind on the canglan river.
The wind blows through the pavilion and the rain slants in.
Emperor lack alone sitting in the pavilion, pinch a peanut into his mouth, looking at the four words on the table, silent for a long time.
......
The boat came to a steady stop on the shore.
Li Tianlan is still barefoot stepping on the flat land, quietly staring at everything on the island.
Countless sword ideas flew from the center of the island and converged in front of him, layer upon layer. The void sword kept shaking in the center of the island, forming a connection with the 13th tower. From the shore to the center of the island, the sword ideas were almost all in the field of the 13th tower.
Li Tianlan felt everything around him through the field and was silent for a long time.
"Your Highness has been working hard all the way. I've already had a banquet prepared. If you don't want to give up, you can taste our special food."
Jiang Tonghui, the head of the Jiang clan, led them to the island in a steady voice.
The chieftain of the Jiang family, who is over 50 years old, can be said to be the most low-key of the seven sword holding families. Before the emperor lacked the sword, the Jiang family was completely covered by the light of the sword. After the emperor lacked the sword, the real name of Jiang Hongwei became more and more dazzling under the guidance of Wang Tianzong. Jiang Tonghui, the chieftain of the seven sword holding families, is the most easily ignored one, which can be seen by Li Tianlan, This is also the most unfathomable one.
Li Tianlan took a look at him, and suddenly said: "before I came to canglan, I heard that the seven sword holding families, Jiang family, have the strongest force, sword array, sword array, fire array, ice array, thunder array, layer upon layer, can evolve into a real invincible array. Do you despise me too much, or does the invincible array not need the cooperation of many people?"
In his perception, the island was completely empty.
It may not be accurate to say empty.
But in all directions, Li Tianlan didn't feel any hostility and killing intention. There was peace everywhere, as if everyone regarded him as a real guest to canglan.
"Because we think highly of your highness."
Jiang Tonghui said quietly: "even if it is an invincible array, it can't exert much power in front of the thirteen towers. In this case, why do you do so much? I am waiting for your highness. When your highness is ready, I will fight with him. "
"The lack of Tiandao emperor?"
Li Tianlan picked an eyebrow: "only he one person?"
"One person is enough."
Jiang Tonghui said in a deep voice: "the ancestor can't win alone, and the Jiang family can't win either. If the ancestor can win you alone, why do you need other people?"
Li Tianlan slowly put away the area of the thirteenth tower.
He was ready, maybe canglan's trip would not meet Dijiang, but he didn't expect to see even Jiang's invincible array.
Here, he has only one opponent.
There is a lack of Tiandao emperor.
This battle was doomed to be extremely fierce, but for the whole Jiang family, it was the best one to take over.
Li Tianlan finally saw in Jiang's body the atmosphere and calm that really belongs to the rich family.
Even if the Jiang family does not move the invincible array, the emperor lacks one person to put out a sword. Looking at the whole North Sea, who dares to say that the Jiang family has not gone all out?
"Lead the way."
Li Tianlan said calmly: "no matter whether the battle is won or not, I will have a cup of respect for my master."
"I'll drink to your highness whether we win or lose this battle."
Jiang Tonghui stretched out his hand sideways, neither humble nor arrogant: "I respect his Highness's brilliance if I win, and I respect his Highness's courage if I lose."
With a long smile, Li Tianlan takes Huangfu Qiushui directly to the buildings on the island.
In the island, the fearless hall opened only when Jiang received the most important guests is filled with the aroma of wine and vegetables.
Jiang Tonghui takes Li Tianlan and Huangfu Qiushui to the fearless hall, reaches out his hand and says please, but he doesn't go in.
Li Tianlan didn't think much, so he pushed the door open.
Under the gloomy sky, there is a soft light in the undaunted hall. The light comes from every corner of the hall and fills the whole hall.
Li Tianlan was stunned.
There was a woman sitting in the glorious hall.
The woman is wearing a black ancient dress embroidered with golden pattern. Her sleeves are loose and her hair is curled up. Her beautiful face without any trace of years is calm. Her deep eyes are looking at Li Tianlan quietly. She is so dignified and peaceful.
Li Tianlan suddenly sounded the voice of Wang Tianzong in the last night of Eastern Europe.
Under the sky of the polar night, the sword emperor who swept the world was also an ancient suit embroidered with gold patterns in black, which was also inviolable.
He looked at the woman's face.
That beautiful face with a touch of dignity in the plain, virtually diluted a touch of enchanting between her eyebrows.
Li Tianlan has never met her.
But this face is really familiar.
This face looks like Wang Yuetong.
No, it should be said that Wang Yuetong looks like her.
There was a slight movement in his heart.
Behind him, the light voice of Huangfu Qiushui had already sounded: "teacher?"
She was pleasantly surprised and trotted to the woman's side. Her charming little face suddenly became a little aggrieved. She pulled the woman's sleeve and wanted to say nothing.
With this sentence alone, Li Tianlan has no doubt about the identity of the woman.
The hostess of Wang family in Beihai.
the summer solstice.
Waiting in the fearless hall is not the emperor, but Li Tianlan in any case did not expect the summer solstice, she personally came to canglan.
The summer solstice gently grasped the palm of Huangfu's autumn water, and laughed softly: "autumn water is lost?"
Huangfu's little face flushed for a moment and took a furtive look at Li Tianlan.
She knew that the teacher was talking about Qiushui sword, but at this time, she felt that the teacher meant something.
"It doesn't matter."
Summer solstice took her to sit beside her, touched her soft hair, and whispered: "let the old man here help you get it back. If he can't get it back, you will get it back when you are strong."
Huangfu Qiushui was silent and nodded obediently.
The summer solstice turns to look at Li Tianlan whose expression is still calm, with a smile: "this is our first time to meet."
Li Tianlan coughed and nodded.
He has a grudge against Wang Tianzong, but he doesn't have a bad feeling for the Wang's mistress of Beihai who has always been indifferent to the world. Moreover, because of Wang Yuetong's relationship, he always has some strange feelings about the summer solstice.
"I've always wanted to talk to you, but I didn't find the right opportunity."
Xia Zhi gets up and pours a glass of wine for Li Tianlan himself.
She sat down again, graceful and gentle: "must we go to the emperor soldier mountain?"
Li Tianlan slowly held out his hand and nodded: "I must go."
"What if I do it?"
Xia Zhi looked at her with calm eyes: "you are very strong now, and the thirteenth tower is also very strong, but I can be sure that if I do it, you can't go to the emperor's army mountain, or even canglan city."
Li Tianlan drank all the wine in his glass, looked at the summer solstice and said seriously: "I'm not your opponent now, but I heard that you are not in good health. If you do it, I don't know if I will die, but you will die."
"Like you said, I'm not sure if I will die, but if I do, you will die."
Summer solstice said quietly.
Li Tianlan was silent for a while and asked, "do you dare to do it?"
"Why not?"
Xia Zhi asked with a smile.
Li Tianlan picked to pick eyebrow, calm way: "if you dare to start, originally in Eastern Europe, the sword emperor will kill me directly."
This is a problem that the dark world knows.
Wang Tianzong killed the traitor tyrant in Eastern Europe.
But Li fantu and Li Tianlan are not assassins. They don't want to, but they can't.
It is because of this that the dark world finally determines that Wang Tianzong is in a very bad state. If he is still in his heyday, he will kill Li fantu without hesitation. Even if he does not kill Li Tianlan, all his roots will be completely smashed. The whole dark world thinks that it is because Wang Tianzong's injury is almost out of control, In the case of his unhealed injury, he obviously does not want to face the whole day purgatory after the death of Li Tianlan and Li fantu, or even the complex situation of Li's crazy counterattack hidden for many years. After all, Beihai still has internal troubles even if it is not afraid of foreign enemies.
"I'm not like him."
Summer solstice soft voice: "women are crazy, especially when really in love with a man, she intended to do anything for his man, bear any consequences."
Her eyes were indifferent: "Tianzong dare not do it, but I dare. I have no responsibility as the patriarch. I have always been a selfish woman. I don't care about killing you. I don't care about Beihai and the seven sword families. In my heart, as long as my man and my children live well, I will be satisfied. Even if Beihai is destroyed, what does it have to do with me? My family may be enough
She tilted her head: "at the beginning, Tianzong was not prepared enough to fight madman Li. It was I who united Kunlun city and set off a case of treason. I dare to do what he dare not do. Why do you think I dare not?"
"Do you know the identity of the three demon legions you met in Qiushui?"
Xia Zhi quietly looked at Li Tianlan: "before they became demons, one was my father and the other two were my uncles. Tianlan, I send them out. I really want to kill you. "
Li Tianlan's palm suddenly trembled, and the wine in the cup spilled a little.
He looked up at the summer solstice.
Summer solstice is also looking at him, beautiful face without any expression.
Li Tianlan was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "if it is true..."
He picked up his chopsticks and pointed to the rich food and wine in front of him: "why don't you kill me?"
"Because I'm not willing to."
Summer solstice smiles.
She's telling the truth.
She dares to kill Li Tianlan and has put it into action, so she does not dare, but does not give up.
Not the North Sea, but Wang Tianzong.
Even if it is a world without light and dream, he is still there. Even if he can't see it for a while, for her, such a world is just as wonderful.
Li Tianlan was silent for a moment and asked, "how is the injury of the emperor of swords?"
"It's not good."
The summer solstice said slowly, "that sword caused him a lot of trouble. That's why I came to see you today."
Li Tianlan looked at her and did not speak.
"The sword of Eastern Europe is almost eternal. The reincarnation palace master is part of the reason for this sword. Xuanyuanfeng is part of the reason. The thirteen towers are the main reason, right?"
Xia Zhi said softly, her tone is very strong, without any room for discussion: "I want to see the thirteen towers sword formation."
Li Tianlan raises her eyebrows.
He thought about it seriously and opened his hand.
Countless sword Qi began to change around him.
One exquisite sword after another appeared around him.
The sky is shining in Lingtai mountain.
The magic soldier is in Hualou mountain.
Now there are eleven swords left in the thirteenth tower.
Eleven swords whirled slowly around him, with some profound regularity.
Li Tianlan looks at the summer solstice calmly and calmly.
He didn't believe that anyone else in the world could understand the thirteen towers except himself.
Maybe Wang Tianzong can.
But he was doomed not to see it.
Summer solstice quietly watching, watching for a long time.
There are only eleven swords left in the thirteenth tower, with two obvious defects.
But the defect is so obvious, and it's like some kind of trap with endless changes.
Endless sword will build an almost eternal sword array, with Xuanyuan Feng's own spirituality, independent operation.
The summer solstice can't describe that feeling.
If you have to describe it, maybe there is only one word.
vast.
Vast as the starry sky, it is an almost unlimited power.
Xia Zhi breathes deeply, her expression is solemn, even with awe: "this is the most perfect sword array I have ever seen."
Li Tianlan looked at her and did not speak.
The summer solstice was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "I know a name."
Li Tianlan picked pick eyebrow, subconsciously asked: "who?"
"The emperor of Dongcheng."
Summer solstice.
Li Tianlan's heart beat a little faster suddenly: "he... What kind of person is she?"
Xia Zhi looked at him with complicated eyes: "I said, I know a name, but I only know a name."
"The name was heard by Tianzong in Qin Weibai's mouth. The picture of the emperor of Dongcheng... She said he was Tianjiao."
"He said that in the last battle of Dongcheng Huangtu, there were people from the Wang family of Beihai, including a woman."
Li Tianlan looks at her.
"Not me."
Xia Zhi said calmly: "and before Qin Weibai mentioned the name, I didn't know who the emperor map of Dongcheng was. And I can tell you for sure that in the past two hundred years, the female invincible realm belonging to the Wang family of Beihai has been only me, including the seven sword holding families of Beihai. In the past two hundred years, the female invincible realm has also been only me."
"But I didn't take part in the siege of Huangtu in the east city. I don't even know who he is."
"The Wang family of Beihai launched all the intelligence systems, trying to find traces of Huangtu in the east city..."
Xia Zhi looks into Li Tianlan's eyes: "do you want to know our conclusion?"
Li Tianlan's mouth moved.
The summer solstice said slowly, "there is no imperial map of the east city. There is no pride. Dongcheng Huangtu, this man doesn't exist at all. That's our conclusion. "
She looked at Li Tianlan and said in a strange voice, "so how did the thirteenth tower come from?"
