Kaifeng Bistro

Although the deep voice was not loud, it was clearly transmitted into the room, and the dozen or so people sitting around the table trembled without exception. "Who is pretending to be a ghost?" A Yuan shouted angrily towards the yard, but his body was trembling slightly because of fear and uneasiness.

"Is that you?" The voice suddenly rang out from the corner of the room, everyone turned pale in shock and turned to look, only to see a figure reflected on the wall, but heavy footsteps came from the door.When they looked back, a sturdy figure wearing a black cloak appeared at the door of the house. The visitor slowly took off the hood, revealing a blurred face.

"You, the only descendant of King Xiangyang?" The man's voice was high and low. Although his facial features were difficult to distinguish, he could vaguely see that there was a creepy smile on his face: "Come here."

A Yuan's foot moved towards him uncontrollably, but he still couldn't help shouting at him angrily: "You, who are you? How could the Xixia people send a guy like you who is neither human nor ghost..."

Before he finished speaking, his throat seemed to be tightly strangled, and his beautiful face twisted instantly, revealing a look of fear and pain: "Let go!" The black figure was still two or three steps away from him, but he continued Can't move forward, just keep struggling in place.

"I have a skin, I can't think of it... They have taught you for so many years, but they have taught you a piece of trash!" A thick hand stretched out from the black cloak. At this time, people saw that the person who was wearing it under the cloak He was dressed in armor, but how could he enter Kaifeng City after the city gate was closed?

Several people in the seat exchanged glances with each other, and the oldest person stood up in a panic: "My lord, it is our fault that the teaching is not good. Our son is young, so please don't make things difficult for him." Bar?"

With a slight wave of the hand in the cloak, A Yuan staggered down like a fallen leaf.Several people hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, let him sit on a nearby chair, and then one of them asked: "My lord is here to discuss something important, right? An Ran returned to the northwest? What are Da Xia's plans now? By the way, can you please report your name first, so that we can know how to address you..."

Before he finished speaking, the black air on the blurred face dissipated, revealing a round face, two thick eyebrows, and a pair of eagle-like eyes, gloomyly sweeping over the crowd, his eyes were full of murderous intent, The armor and robe seemed to still have the smell of blood that hadn't dried up.He took a slow step forward, did not report his family name, but said in a deep voice: "I am Daxia, with the Yellow River in the east, Yumen in the west, Xiaoguan in the south, and the desert in the north. Hundreds of thousands, Yeli Changrong is my subordinate, I will naturally keep him safe and sound."

"So... so it's you?!" The old man was stunned just now, and after a long while hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply, and then spoke more respectfully: "This Kaifeng... is heavily guarded inside and outside. Be careful."

The visitor snorted softly, looked down at his robe, and said in a sinister way: "I'm only staying here for a while with this stupid and obstructive body. I can restore my original appearance, then, if you are lucky enough, you can also see my real appearance, but if you want to see that day..."

He slowly raised his hand again, and a cold smile flashed in his terrifying eyes: "We all hate the Zhao and Song Dynasty, we all want to turn the Central Plains into a desert, and we want to make this prosperous city Kaifeng has become a sea of ​​flames, right?"

A Yuan just caught his breath and was about to refute, but the person behind him pressed his shoulders and gave a few words in a soft voice.He frowned and didn't make a sound, and the man continued: "However, something went wrong with such a great plan of mine. Why in the sky of Kaifeng, I saw blue birds and ink-colored birds." What is Nori Changrong hiding? I have to come and see for myself..."

"However... for the time being, I can't stay in this place where the spirit of the Son of Heaven gathers for too long. You guys... I'm just here to tell you this time, don't think that my warriors of Great Xia have left Kaifeng for a while, so you are slacking off , You have to continue with what Nori Changrong agreed with you." He leaned towards the old man while speaking.

"You..." His bottomless eyes were like a gloomy cold pool, he stared straight at the other's old face, and asked in a low voice: "You are old, you must be worried that your time is not long, Are you worried that you can no longer enjoy the glory and wealth in this world?"

"This..." The man was overwhelmed with fright, and replied incoherently: "This...it's just, I, it's human nature..."

"That's right, a mortal's life is like an ant, a fly, and a dog, and in the end it only lasts for a few decades. It's a pity that each of you refuses to let go, and each of you wants to have eternal life. I have never seen an exception." He said in a low voice. He raised his head with a smile, looked over one by one, and finally fell on A Yuan: "And you, you are so young, do you want to keep your best appearance at this moment? You are afraid of getting old and losing your appearance, you The one you love will leave you..."

"The feast of the boss, laughing at Yan Yan. I swear, you can't imagine that one day it will end like this..."

"Yes... yes..." A Yuan's eyes suddenly became blurred and dazed: "Yes, I'm afraid, I'm very afraid of that day."

"Okay, don't be afraid." His cold, armor-like fingers brushed across A Yuan's forehead, and A Yuan's smooth cheeks were immediately surrounded by a cloud of faint black air, which became deeper and deeper. It was getting thicker and thicker, like green smoke at first, but slowly, like ink, it turned into countless tiny particles, sticking close to his skin and burrowing inside.A Yuan's round cat-like black and white eyes were wide open. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound.At first, countless laughter flashed in his heart, gently blowing in his heart like a warm spring breeze, but as the black air approached, all of these disappeared, and the face of his heart was full of indifference. , even with a slightly mocking look, which almost made him suffocate, and the delicate and vivid face of the young man with a faint smile appeared in front of his eyes, the young man's eyes were so clear and beautiful , but when these eyes enlarged in his heart, he felt a deep hatred that he had never felt before gathering little by little.

"I, I hate him, I swear, I don't think about it..." A Yuan's voice full of resentment echoed in the quiet room, and the others crowded together, watching the black air move along his skin, as if It was the ink dripping into the clear water, which diffused like that and could no longer be seen, but A Yuan's entire face and his exposed skin became pitch black, completely losing its original brilliance.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," the man admired A Yuan, as if admiring a masterpiece: "In this way, you will never grow old, you will never die, you will be strong and fearless, no one can Threatening you, no one can take anything that belongs to you again..."

When the small cloud of black air completely disappeared from A Yuan's body, the faces of the people showed surprise again—the thick black color faded little by little, and A Yuan's youthful and energetic look The vivid facial features became clear again, and the figure in his eyes was even more vivid than before. The light brown of his skin was shining from the inside out, which made people dare not look directly at it.A Yuan himself looked down at his hands, and felt that any part of his body was more sensitive and powerful than before, but when he raised his hand to press his chest, he didn't feel the beating of his heart.

He pulled down his collar in amazement, but what he saw were black bones, faintly visible under his strong and smooth muscles that had become transparent for some reason, and the steaming black air dispersed and gathered, and finally It just disappeared like that, and he saw his hazel skin again, and he blinked, as if the scene just now was just his own illusion.

"My lord, you, are you alright?" Several people came over and scrambled to ask.

The remaining taller and stronger people stood up quickly, looking warily at the man who had just cast a spell on A Yuan who was approaching them. "People from the Liao Kingdom." The man said with a sneer: "Where is your third prince? Also, where is the leader among you now? Why didn't you come here today as promised?"

One of them stood up and replied: "Your Highness, the Third Prince... There have been some accidents recently, our lord ordered to wait and see what happens, and don't disturb His Highness for the time being. He has always had his own opinions in doing things. You don't need to worry about them. As for your lord I went to the banquet today, so I can't come to see you for the time being, I hope you will forgive me. If you have any orders, just tell us how many people."

"That's a pity, they won't have the chance to live forever like you and see the day when I recover my real body..." As soon as the man finished speaking, every corner of the room was suddenly filled with black mist. Like a group of ants, the mist quickly divided into several strands, surrounded the standing and sitting people in the room, and gathered towards them. In an instant, everyone in the room was swallowed by this terrible, cold and dark mist...

……

"Zhifeng, I'm going to bother you again today!" Zhou Yanjing walked into Tan Zhifeng's tavern with a smile, followed by Chen Qing and Lu Yang, Tan Zhifeng, Zhan Zhao, and Bai Yutang were talking in the room. Hearing the movement at the door, they all stood up and walked to the door to meet them.

"Oh, it smells so good! Zhifeng, don't tell me, let's guess!" The people behind said in a hurry.After everyone sat down, they all stretched their necks and looked back. It turned out that the tavern was clean and there were only snacks and refreshments, but there was a burst of smoky meat from the backyard. fragrant.
