She glanced at the chessboard, and with almost no time to think, she reached into the white chess box with her bare hand, picked up a white piece, and dropped it somewhere on the chessboard.

After making the move, Yu Nianyuan turned around and left.

Du Shuqing, who lowered his head, was stunned and looked at it carefully, with a look of realization on his face.

Xue Zhongzhu walked towards the row of seats in the center of the hall, sat at the top without hesitation, waved his hands and said:

"Let's get down to business. I heard from Second Junior Sister that Mr. Wei has something he wants me to observe."

"That's true. Thank you to the second female gentleman for telling me, so that the eldest female gentleman can take time out of her busy schedule."

"Then stop talking nonsense."

Xuezhongzhu asked with a cold face: "Where is the painting?"

At the chessboard, Du Shuqing glanced at Wei Shaoqi.

The latter sighed lightly and nodded slightly.

Du Shuqing stood up and walked into a stone room next to the hall.

While waiting, Wei Shaoqi was about to speak, but his face suddenly flushed. He took out his handkerchief, covered his mouth hard, and coughed violently.

A candle in the snow, Yu Nianyuan looks sideways.

At this time, Du Shuqing's figure, holding a long cloth bag in both hands, appeared at the door of the stone room again and walked towards the crowd.

"Is Mr. Wei okay?"

Xue Zhongzhu lowered his eyelids and asked.

"Ahem...no...it's okay. Shuqing has brought what the eldest lady wants to see. Please take a good look at it."

Xue Zhongzhu had an exotic face with blue eyes and mixed blood. No specific emotions of likes and dislikes could be seen. He asked coldly:

"Mr. Wei, aren't you afraid that I will take you away?"

"I have heard that your clan is the most trustworthy and has never broken its promise for thousands of years. Mr. Li and I believe in your clan's integrity."

The candle in the snow fell silent for a moment, raised his chin slightly, and said in an impatient tone:

"Of course our sect, the Queen's Palace, keeps its promise, but over the past hundreds of years, many people in our sect have broken their promises. Why should I believe you? What if it's another lie?"

The tone of Candle in the Snow is sonorous and powerful:

"Also, what Li Zhengyan mentioned...asking our sect to provide him with the same level of help as the Southern Dynasties, what qualifications does he have to mention this matter face to face, does he think it is just playing tricks?

"The Southern Dynasties at least had the ability to cross the south, attracting a steady stream of people fleeing from the south to the north, promoting the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, and maintaining it for more than 300 years. In the meantime, many beasts appeared and took many detours, but a group of people also emerged.

, and actually did something.

"So, even if it comes to the end, when the world is at war, the north and the south are united, and the army has arrived, the seniors of this palace are still willing to lend a helping hand and establish the alliance of the lotus pagoda...

"But what can you Kuangfu Army do? What can you promise me? You can't even protect yourself."

When Wei Shaoqi heard this, he sighed deeply.

He looked at the empty hall directly in front of him, his face was lonely, and he nodded slowly for a moment.

"What you said is true. What Guizong did for the people of Jiangnan and Lingnan is really admirable. I have heard about Guizong's deeds from some channels and respect him from the bottom of my heart.

"No wonder Taizong made a contract with Guizong Yuanjun back then, stipulating that Qian Ting would never interfere with the Jianghu of Tiannan. This time, Zhou broke the contract violently, and the emperor was ignorant. The statues in Jiangzhou were really a disaster."

His tone was very sincere:

"So, when we found something strange about the Buddha's head in Guizhou, we sent it as soon as possible. It's the same now. Knowing that the giant Buddha in Jiangzhou was in danger, Mr. Li immediately sent me and Shuqing here. This is why

One, and two, this is a great cause of justice, and I will do my part to restore the army.

"We have restored the army and are determined to support the great cadres. Of course we must abide by the contract between Taizong and Guizong back then, and we may even go a step further.

"As for the matter raised by Li Gong, I don't need to answer immediately. You can wait a little longer. Seeing our sincerity this time, I and Shu Qing will try their best to assist your lord this time."

Xuezhongzhu's face looked a little better.

At this moment, Wei Shaoqi suddenly coughed violently again and covered his mouth with a white handkerchief. After coughing for a while, he calmed down slightly.

Yu Nianyuan next to him glanced.

There is blood in the center of the handkerchief.

"Humph. But I also heard that there seems to be a condition for you to come to help this time. You just sit there and raise the price, thinking that our sect and Tiannan Jianghu can't accomplish anything without you?"

Xuezhongzhu sneered, with a somewhat disdainful tone:

"How can you help? Don't think too highly of yourself. If you are really capable, why has there been no progress on the southwest front?"

Wei Shaoqi shook his head.

"Although I don't know what arrangements Guizong has for issuing Yunmeng Ling this time, but..."

Wei Shaoqi pointed to the long cloth bag held by Du Shuqing in front of him. The latter was unwrapping the tight layer of fabric on the outside one by one. The opening process was a bit cumbersome:

"But what if there is this painting sent by Mr. Li? Do you think there is a way to help Guizong Weiwei?"

Xue Zhongzhu stood up, frowning slightly as he watched Du Shuqing take out a scroll that seemed to have a bronze shaft from the cloth bag, but did not speak immediately.

On the side, Wei Shaoqi saw this and made a request.

"However, I still need your sect to provide you with a sword art, or... two copies."

Xue Zhongzhu and Yu Nianyuan immediately calmed down and looked at each other.

The eyes of the candle in the snow are dim and unclear.

Wei Shaoqi looked a little embarrassed and asked tentatively: "By the way, how many sword arts does your sect have? Well, your lord Yin Jun, it seems that the sword wielder Juemai has a high level of cultivation. He is really young.

Talented, I guess..."

The candle in the snow suddenly turned around.

Wei Shaoqi shut up instantly.

Being stared directly at by this Yunmeng lady with a pair of cannibal eyes, he felt as if a thousand pounds of weight were weighing down on him.

The air around the two of them gradually solidified.

It seemed that his body was feeling a little uncomfortable after being pressed. Wei Shaoqi once again clenched his fist to cover his mouth and coughed violently.

Waves of difficult coughing made Xue Zhongzhu suddenly look away and look elsewhere. Yu Nianyuan next to her took out a pill box from her sleeve and threw it into Wei Shaoqi's arms. Without saying a word, she followed him.

The senior sister looked at Du Shuqing who was unpacking the cloth bag.

Wei Shaoqi was slightly stunned. He didn't even ask about the status of the elixir. He directly handed over to Yu Nianyuan, then opened the elixir box, picked up a soybean-sized elixir that exuded the fragrance of vegetation, and swallowed it raw into his throat.

After a while, Wei Shaoqi's face became visibly rosy, like a dead tree blooming with spring.

Xue Zhongzhu frowned and looked at Yu Nianyuan, who smiled gently.

However, Wei Shaoqi's move of swallowing the pill without asking any questions still made Xue Zhongzhu's cold face soften a little, and he let out a "hum".

At this moment, Du Shuqing, who received the signal from Wei Shaoqi's eyes, had already taken out a scroll from the cloth bag, bent down at his desk, and unfolded the scroll.

Xuezhongzhu immediately stepped forward to observe.

I saw that the two bronze shafts of the scroll were rolling on the table, making a lot of noise, but that was not the point.

A picture scroll is slowly unfolding.

A paradise appears vividly on paper.

Xue Zhongzhu stared at it for a moment, and suddenly her chest rose and fell violently. She reached out and grabbed the bronze shaft that was supposed to be just a foil, and spoke every word with her red lips:

"Blood bronze? You Tao Yuanming, you dare to steal this! It turns out that you are the initiator of the current disaster of Buddha statues!"

The blonde lady had a pretty face but an angry look on her face, and there was a sudden silence in the hall.
