The Lord who use immortals as food

Pei Ye returned to the library, picked up a pen and studied ink, and wrote a serious reply to Miss Ming, saying that everything was fine with him in Shenjing, informing her of the progress of his sword practice and the next plan, and telling her what happened in Shenjing these days. I hope she and Yun Lang can deal with the matter of Tianlu appropriately.

Of course Pei Ye was willing to communicate with Miss Ming frequently, but there was nothing important. Before writing, he thought of the woman's calm face and was worried about disturbing her. For more than ten years in the past, Miss Ming has been walking on her own road, and of course she has been consistent in the future. Most of the time, Pei Ye prides herself on being firm-minded, but she feels ashamed in front of women and is full of worldly thoughts. Naturally, she can only write about it. Lift and let go.

Later, he no longer struggled. Just like the moon passing through the sky, it was reassuring to see it when he raised his head. For two months, he had been following the movements of this name in the tabloids. Even without this letter, Pei Ye knew that she was between Suzhou and Hangzhou in the past two days, and had already guessed that she would go to Dongting next.

But a personal greeting from Ariake is certainly better.

This time a black cat checked, there must be no typos. Pei Ye put the reply letter back into the small tube, sealed a small ball of Chang'an's snow with his true energy, put it in, tied it on the small jade sword, and let it fly high into the sky. Went.

When I woke up the next morning, the house was still asleep in the mist, and the carriages and horses were ready in front of the door.

Pei Ye dressed up neatly and carried the jade tiger. Xu Chuo stood in front of the house and handed him a wild goose sign and an official document.

Pei Ye didn't know that this was his first time taking office, and he didn't care much about this small brand, so he took it and tied it around his waist.

Xu Chuo said at the side: "I appointed Yan to examine Pei Ye and investigate the case of Queen Suo Linji who was assassinated in the spring of the same year. I want the Xianrentai document, with the signature of the Prime Minister Zhang Siche, so that you can be left alone in the palace. Move around a little or two.”

Pei Ye lowered his head and looked at the official document.

"Since more than ten years ago, Xianrentai has stopped entering the palace. Only this case, which was twenty-three years ago, is still open and is still in the hands of Xianrentai. However, the palace has long since lost the power of Xianrentai. , you can only rely on yourself."

Pei Ye folded the official document and looked up: "Am I going to investigate this matter when I enter the palace this time?"

"Yes. After Li Du's fall, many things in Shenjing lost their cover in front of us. Nine years ago, Prince Yan's Mansion began to collude with Li Du and Yu Sicheng, using the cover of the two powerful officials to advance secret affairs. In the past few days, we have been closed I went to Xunfang Garden to investigate the matter of Huanlou, but found nothing there."

"Nothing found?"

"Yes, I heard you tell about the experience inside, and I heard the same version from many people, but I really found nothing. Xunfang Garden is just a spring garden, and there is only frost in the deserted Qujiang Pond. "Withered grass." Xu Chuo said, "You can go for a walk if you have time."

"We took a brilliant powder, and then we became dizzy and entered that magical realm."

"Yes, but the captured waiter in green, like the guests who entered the building, did not know the secret of the fantasy building, and the Shark Pearl Powder was not confiscated. Xianrentai bought some from Nanhai with a lot of money, and ordered Yihe to inspect and subdue it. His mental reaction is exactly what you said He spoke in a daze, but he didn't enter any 'wonderland'." Xu Chuo said, "The matter of the Phantom Tower is now in our hands, but we can't find its true meaning for the time being. This matter is moving forward, you go in first. Go to the palace to investigate the assassination of the queen."

Pei Ye pondered slightly: "The reason for checking this is..."

"Because many things that have happened in Shenjing City in the past few years have reminded me of those dusty old events twenty-three years ago." Xu Chuo turned to look at him, "Back then, it was said that the queen conspired to rebel and stole Lin's blood. The five surnames shared the story. Later, he died. That year, Yongbei was also in Shenjing City. "

Pei Ye thought and nodded.

"His Royal Highness Jinyang will tell you the details after entering the palace. I said before that you know too little about many past events and the current situation. Once you know something, you will have a grasp of the situation, and you can roughly feel that the Yan Palace It’s where you set your sights.”

"Aren't you going to enter the palace with me?" Pei Ye was slightly surprised.

"No." Xu Chuo smiled, "You can go see her yourself, I won't enter the palace."

Pei Ye boarded the carriage and horse specially prepared for him. There was another Yanjian on the carriage who told him about the affairs in the palace. He also handed him a detailed map of the two cities of the palace and told him how to handle the case. Burned after completion.

About two or three quarters of an hour later, the carriages and horses drove up the Zhuque thoroughfare through the fresh snow that had not been swept away. Not long after, the tall and towering city wall showed its shape in the mist ahead.

It was not the first time Pei Ye had seen this majestic imperial city, but it was indeed the first time he had approached it. When he was nearly ten feet away, the carriage and horse stopped. He said goodbye to Yanjian, got off the car and walked.

At the beginning of the new year, only a few officials came in and out. Pei Ye was an official, not a government minister. He went to the Hanguang Gate in the west as instructed and checked the official documents and seals with the two Hanjia guards. , then stepped into this imperial city and entered the so-called Nanya for the first time.

Chang'an is surrounded by three cities from south to north and from outside to inside. The largest one is the capital that people say never sleeps, with two pools like eyes and hundreds of bustling streets like a chessboard. In the center of the northernmost part, surrounded by squares and arches, is the imperial city of the Tang Dynasty. Three provinces, six ministries, nine temples, five prisons, and twelve imperial guards are all set up in the southern half of the city. All the ministers and princes are here. In Dian Mao's governance, those who could enter the "Nan Ya" had already entered the center of the Tang Dynasty's government affairs.

The northern half of the imperial city, or the inner city of the imperial city, was the palace city, where the emperor of the Tang Dynasty lived. The emperor's six armies were stationed in the north, which was often called Beiya.

Crossing the south of the imperial city, when another majestic city wall appeared in the field of vision, the colors such as official robes were no longer visible. The snow was pressed on the eaves of the red wall. The atmosphere was tranquility, a different color. Iron armor is arrayed in front of the gates.

Pei Ye checked the belt order with the guard again, and the sword he was wearing was issued by the Immortal Platform. The guard asked for instructions and allowed him to enter with the sword.

But this time, he was not allowed to go on his own. After confirming that he was the person wanted by His Highness Jinyang, the imperial guard called a chamberlain and led him to the harem from the side. Pei Ye followed him, and the snow in the palace It turned out that he hadn't finished sweeping yet. He looked far east and saw the majestic Hanyuan Xuanzheng Second Hall. The sun was rising and the top of the snow was crystal clear. According to Fang Jidao, Mr. Zhu threw himself into the mirror pool under that palace that day.

The palace is not like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den as Xu Chuo said. The dead branches trembling slightly in the cold wind and the ground that has been trampled and covered with fresh snow are no different from the outside. The biggest feeling given to the young man here is that it is quiet. It is not the day of going to court. The main hall of the palace is silent and no one is there.

Then, while walking like this, Pei Ye had a thought in his mind and picked up a cluster of snow from a nearby branch and turned it into water in his palm... His true energy could no longer be absorbed.

[Sword Washing Water] is disabled.

He had stabilized the realm of seven lives in the past two days, but the ability to release his true energy disappeared as expected, and the ability to transfer his true energy to objects in his fourth life was also prohibited.

…

"Within the palace city, the power of the beast cannot enter, and the [Law of the Same World] does not take effect." The Yanjian said when he came, "The one who is watching it is Qilin. The sorcerer's spiritual energy and the human body's true energy cannot infect this place. A piece of heaven and earth—naturally, you don’t have to worry about facing opponents who hold the [Law and Order].”

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"No wonder the Sixteenth Guards of Nanya and the Sixth Army of Beiya are in separate charge...Does the Forbidden Army of Beiya also hold something similar to the [Law and Order]?"

"No," Na Yanjian said, "Everyone is the same here. If you want to fight with someone, you can only fight with your sword."

"..."

"It is precisely because of this that there has been no fighting in the palace for more than 20 years. The occasional casualties are all under control." Yanjian turned back to him and said, "The last time there was an accident, it was the assassination of the late empress. case."

…

Pei Ye shook off the water on his hand and walked for more than a quarter of an hour before passing through the political affairs area of ​​the three palaces. The atmosphere became more and more quiet. After passing a few snowy plum trees, a dark red palace wall appeared in front of him.

A round arch door was opened on the wall. Through it, you could see the intertwining green pines and plum branches. The landscape was very quiet and elegant. The waiter in front of him turned around and saluted him. He was only eighteen or nineteen years old. His face was very delicate and white, and he had a low profile. He said: "Yanjian is a foreigner. Although he enters the palace due to business and has no control over his travels, the harem is no better than other places. I hope that when walking around, you should remember the principle of "don't see if you are not polite and don't hear if you are not polite". It will also be a convenience for us. ”

Pei Ye cupped his fists and bowed, and said in return: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I have already given instructions for all your actions, so you should pay attention to yourself."

The chamberlain nodded, said a few words to the two chamberlains in blue wearing swords in front of the arch, and led Pei Ye to step inside.

Pei Ye recalled the palace map he had just seen. Jinyang asked him to meet at the Huiying Pavilion in the east of Taiye Pond. He had to pass several palaces and a garden. After walking between the palaces for a quarter of an hour, Pei Ye already felt It was a bit endless, turning around the alleyway, crossing the palace wall, and crossing the palace wall. Occasionally, a few ladies passed by quietly without giving him or her a second glance.

When I looked at the map, I didn't feel that there was anything special about the several palaces painted on it, but when I stepped in, I realized that it was much larger than I imagined. There were almost no changes in the snowy eaves and gardens, which seemed to never end. The continuous palace walls It's so locked that people can't breathe.

The chamberlain only led the way. About a quarter of an hour later, after passing another gate, his eyes suddenly opened up. The path buried in snow led to the plum forest, and a frozen hanging waterfall could be seen in the distance between the trees.

The chamberlain turned around and locked the door again. As soon as Pei Ye stepped into the plum forest, he was slightly startled. He vaguely heard a brisk chanting in the forest, and said with his mind:

"The snow is clear and Hu Tian is herding horses, and the moon is bright, and the Qiang and flutes are guarding the towers.

May I ask where the plum blossoms fell? The wind blew all over the mountain all night. "
