The villain has been playing badly for ten years

At noon, smoke from cooking fires began to rise.

At this time, an enticing roasting aroma came from the kitchen, making people salivate.

The roasted rabbit was probably one for each person, torn into small pieces, smeared with spices, sizzling with oil, and filled with hot fragrance.

Several clerks stretched their heads, thinking that during such a banquet, their subordinates could only watch.

But since it was a party, everyone had to have a share. Hua Jianbai and Pu Boyu spent the entire morning in the kitchen, and it was no joke.

In the small courtyard, there were some delicious dishes on the long table, as well as some bacon and pig's trotters.

When Ning Xiusu and Meng Qilian sat down, several officials, holding bowls and chopsticks, also sat down at a table nearby.

Luo Buzhi couldn't help but praise him repeatedly, "Hua Guard, when we first met, I thought you were just a bandit. I didn't expect you to be such a versatile talent."

Pu Boyu gave a thumbs up and blurted out: "Auntie's cooking skills are so good! I almost swallowed my tongue."

Li Ji asked, "Brother Pu, why do you always call the Flower Guard "Auntie"?

"Oh, these are just some random names used by people in the underworld. Don't take them seriously."

Hua Jianbai said this, sitting next to Ning Xiusu, picking up the bowl and taking a sip.

Ning Xiusu's appetite was also whetted, and he found the rabbit meat sweet, crispy, and delicious. However, Hua Jianbai seemed to be lost in thought, constantly nibbling at the rice.

He casually picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his bowl, "Why don't you eat it yourself?"

Hua Jianbai's thoughts drifted away, drifting into the night, by the Qingyi River, under the wisps of moonlight...

Suddenly I heard his voice, and when I looked up for a moment, it seemed as if everyone at the table had left, and only he was left. The sunlight was faintly shining on him, just like the moon frost last night.

Ning Xiusu was startled by his gaze, "Hua Guard?"

Pu Boyu was sitting opposite the table, his mouth full of greasy food. He called out "Auntie" a few times before Hua Jianbai reacted and immediately lowered his head.

"Auntie, we are talking to you, what are you thinking about?"

"It's okay, I didn't sleep well."

Hanamibai seemed to have thought of something, and took a few bites of food to divert his attention. Suddenly, he asked:

"...By the way, Ayu, where did you go when you disappeared last time?"

Pu Boyu said: "I went to a very strange place."

"It should also be a sea of ​​blood and corpses, right?"

Ning Xiusu picked up a piece of rabbit meat and asked casually.

"I am not very sure……"

Pu Boyu intended to tell his adventure, and recalled:

"Anyway, I turned into a big guy, and when I opened my eyes, I saw an underwater palace, just like the Dragon Palace. And the people inside were all Yan people, including a beautiful sister..."

Meng Qilian was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Ning Xiusu.

"Three hundred years ago, beneath the sea of ​​blood and corpses, the Yanren and the palace, Nian Zheng, he and you really fell into the same place."

"Ah, is that so?" Pu Boyu scratched his head and looked at Ning Xiusu in confusion: "But why don't I seem to remember the prince coming here?"

Hua Jianbai frowned: "Ayu, don't you remember beating someone after the mutation?"

Pu Boyu shook his head and rattled: "Who did I hit?"

Ning Xiusu sighed: "What do you remember?"

"I remember those beautiful sisters saying that the Three Flower Temple had betrayed them and stolen the mechanical schematics, forcing them to go into hiding."

Hanamita was curious: "What mechanism blueprint?"

"That's the technology for making Yanren. This technology is related to Bai Luofu. It can not only make Yan armor and weapons, but also give Yanren consciousness."

"Isn't that a robot?"

"Yes, it seems that Dayan only knows half of it. Only they know the whole thing, but the secrets are all on the blueprints."

Pu Boyu said, "Later, this thing was stolen by the Three Flowers Temple."

Ning Xiusu understood something and paused with his chopstick hand.

I thought, no wonder the Three Flowers Temple must have been studying Yanren, and there turned out to be a military base there...

"By the way, they also said that the Three Flower Temple no longer belongs to them."

At this point, Pu Boyu suddenly became stealthy and lowered his voice to the others.

"The Yanren of the Three Flowers Temple were all given to the Qinglian Guards as specially trained assassins. They take orders from Shangjing."

Meng Qilian frowned slightly. "The Qinglian Guard belongs to Tianzhao Mansion. Nian Zheng, I'm afraid the previous assassin..."

He responded, "As expected, these things are all related."

"Ayu, your information is extremely useful. At least now we know that the Three Flower Temple and the palace are truly connected."

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a few shouts, "Lord, Lord—I remember!"

Miemie was dressed in green from head to toe, without any other colors, and her face was as clean as snow without any makeup, natural and unpretentious. She suddenly ran in front of Hua Jianbai.

When Pu Boyu saw Miemie, he said, "Hey, Miemie, do you want to eat with us?"

"No, no, no."

Miemie was a little out of breath, and she pulled Hua Jianbai to the side, almost avoiding people.

"What's wrong? Why are you sneaking around?"

Hua Jianbai didn't know what she was doing, so Miemie said anxiously, "I remember that Uncle Beard is missing!"

"Didn't you say he was in seclusion?"

Miemie shook her head vigorously and said in a panic, "No, no, I always talk nonsense when I'm sick. Uncle Beard is not in seclusion, nor has he returned to the restaurant, and my sister is not here either. Something must have happened to them."

"No way, Old Man Chen is very powerful."

Miemie was extremely anxious again: "But my sister knows the passage to Xuyuan."

"What, a passage?"

Hanamibai was stunned again.

Ning Xiusu's gaze was always drawn to Hua Jianbai. He looked at the two people under the eaves from afar, and they seemed very anxious.

He had sharp ears and eyes, so he probably heard it.

So he walked over and asked, "What happened?"

"My sister must have gotten someone into the crack again."

Ning Xiusu suspected that this situation might be related to what he had encountered at the bottom of the sea, so he asked, "Mie Mie, is the crack in the Abyss under the Blood Sea?"

Miemie shook her head: "I haven't been there. I wanted to see my sister, but Uncle Beard wouldn't let me see her, so I've never seen what Xu Yuan looks like."

"You were killed by her, but you still want to see her. Do you want revenge?"

"I don't hate her, she didn't mean it."

Hanamibai was really confused: "Do you have Stockholm? How can you speak for the murderer?"

"Lord of the Realm, what demon are you talking about?"

"Oh, it's not important."

Miemie pulled Hua Jianbai and was about to leave: "Lord of the Realm, come with me to look for him."

Ning Xiusu stopped him and said, "Mie Mie, if you want to find someone, you have to know where to go, right?"

"I do not know."

Ning Xiusu heard this and said, "Isn't that like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Miemiecai refused to listen: "I don't care, I'm really anxious now, I want to find Uncle Beard."

Hua Jianbai could only persuade: "Okay, okay, where can we find it?"

"The Territory Lord uses the Crescent Moon Stone to sense ours."

Hua Jianbai took off the crescent-shaped pendant from her neck. The crescent stone was emitting a faint moon-like glow, which was fine and shiny and very beautiful.

"But how do you sense it?"

As soon as Hua Jianbai asked, Miemie hurriedly grabbed it. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared under their feet, and they disappeared in front of them in a flash.
