A night of romance is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
The brothers of the Beilong Hall were sensible and did not disturb Yu Chi Feng at his residence anymore.
After all, it was not until dawn broke that the two of them barely closed their eyes and slept until noon.
The consequence of enduring for a long time is that when it suddenly erupts, it is uncontrollable and goes too far. When Feng Tingliu woke up, his body was sore and painful, his throat was so hoarse that he could not speak, and there was not a piece of skin on his body that was not covered with love bites.
But this was caused by Feng Tingliu's initiative. He tossed and turned in bed for a long time before he managed not to kick Yu Chi Feng out of bed.
"Master, sleep a little longer. When I come back, I'll give you a massage." Yu Chi Feng tucked him in, leaned down to give him a kiss, and then walked out of the room with a smile.
Feng Tingliu snorted, buried himself in the quilt, and decided to sleep for a while longer.
When Yu Chi Feng arrived at the stronghold, he saw Yin Cang rushing up to him and reporting in a hurry: "Hall Master, there are guests looking for you."
"Guests?" Yu Chi Feng was puzzled and followed Yin Cang to the meeting room.
"It's the people from Huashan Sect and the people from Liudu City. They said they want to see you."
"Huashan Sect?"
Yu Chi Feng pushed open the door and walked into the meeting room. As expected, he saw Priest Yang in the room, who was drinking tea unhurriedly. When Priest Yang saw him coming, he smiled faintly and put down the cup.
"Hall Master of Beilong, you really kept me waiting." Although Priest Yang said so, he did not mean to complain.
"Why didn't you ask someone to find me?" Yu Chi Feng sat opposite him, apologized and poured tea for him.
"Oh, I heard from your subordinates that you are not convenient now and cannot be disturbed." Priest Yang smiled meaningfully, imitating the appearance of the old Taoist with a goatee, and touched his non-existent beard, "I guess you must have had a wonderful night last night."
"Don't listen to their nonsense..."
Although Priest Yang's guess was almost the same as the actual situation, Yu Chi Feng still blushed awkwardly and refuted repeatedly.
"Ha ha, okay, let's talk about the serious matter." Priest Yang picked up the newly poured tea, took a sip, and said, "I came here just to be a messenger again. It is Sect Leader Feng who really wants to see you and Lord Feng of the City."
"Feng Che?" Yu Chi Feng was stunned, "Why is he here?"
"The imperial city is in chaos." Priest Yang shrugged, his face still smiling, but his tone became serious: "Let's discuss the countermeasures. Regarding this matter, as a force related to the imperial court, Huashan Sect will not stand idly by."
After all, Feng Tingliu failed to deal with Yu Lin in person.
However, Xia Yi, as one of his right-hand men, led the team instead of him to meet Yu Ji.
Feng Tingliu, on the other hand, followed Yu Chi Feng to the inn to meet Feng Che.
Feng Tingliu was not feeling well and could only walk slowly on the road. Yu Chi Feng carefully followed beside him, and from time to time, he would ask: "Master, does your waist hurt?"
Feng Tingliu's eyebrows twitched, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He slapped Yu Chi Feng on the back of the head fiercely.
"Ouch..." Yu Chi Feng staggered, scratched his head, and looked confused.
"Can't you be quiet for a while?" Feng Tingliu raised his eyebrows and walked forward on his own.
Yu Chi Feng noticed a blush on Feng Tingliu's ear, grinned foolishly, and quickly followed.
When the two pushed open the door of the inn's private room, they saw several people sitting at the table, dressed differently.
If an ordinary person saw the scene in the room, they would be shocked on the spot.
People from various forces were sitting together. In addition to the people from Liudu City and the Devil Cult, there were also people from Huashan Sect and Meihua Society.
The gathering of people from the righteous sects in the Jianghu, the evil sects of the Devil Cult, and the imperial court forces was truly strange.
"Oh, you're here." Feng Che was sitting in the main seat, greeting the two with a smile.
No one had ever elected a leader, but everyone naturally let Feng Che sit in the middle.
Yu Chi Feng took the initiative to pull out the chair for Feng Tingliu.
"It's quite lively." Feng Tingliu looked around, not surprised at all, and sat down calmly.
"This shows that I have a wide network of contacts." Feng Che patted his chest, looking proud.
"Huashan Sect is only for the peace and well-being of the country." Bai Yichen suddenly put down the tea cup and refuted lightly.
"We are just here to help the Fifth Prince ascend the throne." The person in charge of Meihua Society spread out his hands and told the truth.
Feng Che's expression froze, but then he broke the awkwardness with a laugh: "No matter what the reason is, in short, we are all here with the same goal."
While saying this, Feng Che took out a map from his arms, spread it out on the table.
The map prominently marked the locations of the imperial city, Beiji City, and the northwest region, and also marked several routes with lines.
"Come, come, everyone, look here!" Feng Che called out.
Everyone focused their attention on the map. Feng Che took out a handful of black and white chess pieces from somewhere and placed them on various strongholds. The white pieces represented the enemy, and the black pieces represented themselves.
"The old Devil Cult and private soldiers have already stationed in the northwest region, and there are also strongholds of the Zhuxiehui and Yanlong Hall near the imperial city. If the Second Prince raises an army to force the palace, then the two forces will rush into the imperial palace." Feng Che's tone was serious as heFiddling with (manipulated) the chess pieces to show the current situation, "The new Devil Cult cannot appear in front of everyone, but we will intercept the old Devil Cult and some private soldiers. Some people from Liudu City will also act with us."
A black piece was moved from the north to the northwest, blocking the advancing white pieces.
"And the Beilong Hall, Meihua Society, and some people from Liudu City are more suitable to intercept the people from Yanlong Hall through this route."
Another black piece set out from Beiji City and blocked the road between Yanlong Hall and the imperial city.
"As the Jianghu force most trusted by the imperial court, Huashan Sect needs to guard the periphery of the imperial palace. Once there is a commotion in the imperial palace, they will immediately support."
Several black pieces surrounded the imperial city, forming a defense line.
"In the imperial palace, the Second Prince will lead his forces to force the palace, which has nothing to do with us. The Fifth Prince will arrest the Second Prince after he kills the current emperor. By then, even if the Second Prince wants to mobilize private soldiers, they will have already been stopped by us."
Feng Che put down the last black piece representing the Fifth Prince, looked up at everyone, and asked, "Does anyone have any objections?"
"This is a decision that has already been made. Let's do it this way." Bai Yichen nodded in agreement.
Representative of Meihua Society: "Meihua Society has no objections either."
Yu Chi Feng: "Beilong Hall agrees."
Feng Tingliu: "Needless to say for me."
Feng Che grinned and returned to his usual carefree manner, quickly putting away the map and chess pieces.
"Then let's do it this way. We must not alert the enemy and wait for the Second Prince to make the first move. Oh, by the way, according to reliable news, there are indeed some people from Hanlong Hall mixed in Yanlong Hall. I guess we need to recalculate their combat power."
"No need." Feng Tingliu said casually, raised the tea cup, took a sip, and said, "I have already sent someone to deal with the problem of the Hanlong Hall Master. Without the leader, no matter how many people there are, they are just a display."
"You are really quick in your actions." Feng Che clicked his tongue.
"If you hadn't invited me today, I would already be on my way to the crusade." Feng Tingliu glanced at him and snorted.
On the other side.
Xia Yi was sticking his head out of the carriage window, looking around. He had never been to the outskirts of the imperial city before. Seeing such a bustling street scene for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
But the carriage gradually drove away from the imperial city to the more secluded and desolate countryside in the west.
"There is such a place outside the imperial city?" Xia Yi was shocked when he saw the dilapidated village.
"Only the imperial city is prosperous. That old emperor wouldn't care about these wild mountains and hills." The person in the same carriage snorted and said.
"That's right. It looks no different from the mass grave in the north of Liudu City." Xia Yi nodded, feeling bored and shrinking back.
The carriage traveled for a while and stopped in an open area. Not far away, one could see the faint light of a campfire, and Yu Ji and the people of Beilong Hall were sitting around the campfire on the ground.
Xia Yi got out of the carriage and went straight to Yu Ji.
"Wow! You're actually wearing men's clothing! It's really rare!" Xia Yi looked him up and down and said in surprise.
"What's so strange about that? The journey is long, and I can't wear an expensive dress. Of course, I have to choose something cheap and dirt-resistant to wear." Yu Ji pulled at his clothes, showing no discomfort.
"So, have you found the woman's whereabouts? Brother Feng instructed me to take her life before going back. I have to bring her head back to complete the task!"
Xia Yi did not know the true identity of the Hanlong Hall Master and spoke without restraint.
Yu Ji's expression changed, but he did not stop him and said, "Not yet, but she should be nearby. I have to think of a way to lure her out."
"Lure her out?" Xia Yi looked at him blankly.
"I have my own way." Yu Ji curved his mouth, but what was reflected on his face was a bitter smile.
The Gu worm in his arms was restless, crashing around in the box. He was almost certain that Yu Lin was nearby and was even monitoring their every move.
The campfire in front of them crackled, making the surrounding environment even more eerie and mysterious, casting a shadow over Yu Ji's heart.
"Although I don't know what you are going to do." Xia Yi suddenly spoke, tilted his head and said, "But don't worry, with me here, she can't hurt you. Moreover, there are so many people from Beilong Hall here. Don't worry, it's not your turn to fight."
Yu Ji was stunned, looked at Xia Yi's small figure, and suddenly smiled with relief: "Thanks."
