The surface of the lake is sparkling.

A silver moon hangs in the sky, looming among the clouds.

Night still shrouded.

There is still about half an hour before dawn.

There is a small boat floating on the water.

The girl in a white dress is standing quietly at the bow of the boat, looking at the deep night sky, in a daze.

The night wind blows, and the blue hair is slightly fluttering.

There was a trance expression on that delicate and charming face.

After a while.

Luo Qingzhou came out from the bottom of the lake and saw the boat on the lake.

But the bow is empty.

The cold moonlight falls from the night sky.

He stretched out his hand, held it gently, and murmured: "Sister Yue, I've caught you, you can't escape..."

But soon, the moon disappeared into the clouds and disappeared.

The moonlight in his palm also quietly slipped away.

"It doesn't matter, tomorrow night, the next night... I will arrest you every night from now until...you can't escape anymore!"

Luo Qingzhou let go of his palm, and after a moment of daze, Fang left the East Lake.

He returned to the Qin Mansion.

It may take at least a week to go to the underground retreat in the palace.

So, he has to go back and explain to Miss Qin Er.

Of course, you have to tell the queen in advance.

The empress was too tired yesterday, so he didn't have a chance to speak.

Go back to the room.

Second Miss Qin is still fast asleep.

Luo Qingzhou didn't bother, and went directly to the next room.

Gently pushed the door, but it was really not locked.

He entered the room silently, locked the door again, then walked to the bed and looked at the bed.

Xiao Die is sleeping soundly.

Qiu'er opened her eyes and was looking at him sleepily.

"Hush..."

Luo Qingzhou signaled her to keep silent, then sat down beside the bed, first took out the messenger card, and sent a message to the queen.

Qiu'er quietly lifted the quilt, and whispered: "Young master, come up."

Luo Qingzhou took a look, and then out of the window.

It is not yet dawn.

He took off his shoes, socks and clothes, quietly got into bed, got into the quilt, and lay down with her.

The little girl took the initiative to get into his arms, and the delicate and smooth girl's body was pressed against his chest, like a piece of warm jade.

At this time, the communication treasure suddenly vibrated.

Is the queen awake?

Or, have been busy last night and didn't rest?

Luo Qingzhou looked at the communication treasure in his hand.

The little girl in her arms tucked into the quilt and continued to sleep.

Her Majesty the Queen: [Do you still dare to come?

Luo Qingzhou looked at the message and replied: [I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time]

After dawn.

He went to the next room, and when Miss Qin Er woke up, he told her that he was going out to practice in seclusion.

Miss Qin Er told him not to work too hard, and he didn't have to worry about the family.

Luo Qingzhou left through the back door.

After entering the palace, the queen has already gone to court.

Yue Wu led him into the room, and said softly: "Young Master, Your Majesty has already told you to let you go in by yourself."

Luo Qingzhou thanked him and walked towards the innermost wall.

The empress had already recorded his aura in the formation, and as soon as he approached the wall, the hidden stone door slowly opened.

When he was about to go in, Yue Wu suddenly said: "By the way, my lord, there is one more thing to tell you. Yue Ying sent a message from the border, saying that your senior sister Dao Ling was injured. She originally wanted to send her back, but she didn't come back." , I want to stay there to kill demons."

Luo Qingzhou frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said, "Is it serious?"

Yue Wu said: "It shouldn't be serious, Yue Ying said, it was scratched by a monster."

Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "How many cities have the Yaozu already occupied?"

Yue Wu sighed softly, and said: "There are already five cities, and the sixth city was besieged yesterday. Fortunately, General Yuchi led people to arrive. There are more and more monster clan troops. For some reason, some monsters from other countries All of them have gathered at the border of Dayan. Your majesty said that the situation on the border is getting more and more serious now, and your majesty wants to wait for the situation to stabilize a little before the imperial conquest."

Luo Qingzhou immediately focused his expression, and said: "Your Majesty must not go. Dayan is still in turmoil. Don't look at those princes who are honest now. If there is a chance, accidents may happen again. After all, Your Majesty ascended to God as a daughter It is impossible for those royal families to be convinced. Moreover, His Majesty does not have many troops now, once he leads the army to leave the capital, there will definitely be big problems. At that time, the real internal and external troubles will be at stake."

Yue Wu looked at him and said: "Your Majesty said that when she leaves Beijing, she will designate the young master as the regent, and let the young master take her place in the capital and help her govern the country."

Luo Qingzhou was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "I'm a martial artist..."

"My lord, you are not a warrior..."

Yue Wu looked at him faintly, and said: "If it weren't for your son, the Seven Kingdoms and the King of Thailand rebelled, and Yue Ying and General Yuchi would not have won so easily."

Luo Qingzhou's identity was torn apart face to face, a little embarrassed, pondered for a while, and said: "In any case, Your Majesty cannot leave Beijing now."

Speaking of this, he was silent for a while, and said: "If you have to go to the border to resist the monsters, I will go. I am the husband of His Majesty, and I am also the son of Dayan. When the country is in trouble and the people are displaced, I have the responsibility to go to the border. make an effort!"

Yue Wu stared at him blankly, then saluted generously, and said softly: "Your Majesty's sincere treatment of you is not in vain if you have such a heart. Yue Wu thanked you on behalf of Your Majesty first."

"Should be."

Luo Qingzhou walked into the secret room without further words.

"Boom..."

The stone gate slowly closed.

Yue Wu looked at the closed stone gate and was stunned for a while. Fang murmured: "Young master is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away. He is wise and resourceful, talented, and has unparalleled poetry. He also has a talent for martial arts. Your Majesty calls him Dayan." No one can match him, he has the world and the people in his heart, and he has deep affection and loyalty to His Majesty...how can one person be so perfect?"

"Your Majesty must have touched the heavens, and God sent the son to accompany and help your majesty..."

Luo Qingzhou entered the underground spiritual mine.

As soon as I entered it, I immediately felt a strong vitality rushing towards my face.

Before performing the exercises, the Danhai and various acupoints in the body began to move around.

He came directly to the heart of the spiritual mine and sat down.

Before he started to practice, he took out the body identification stone and looked at his data.

Late Grandmaster: Progress 2

Late stage of distraction: progress seven

The further you get to the back, the slower the progress and the harder it is to break through.

But now that he has the heart of the spiritual mine and his spiritual liquid, there should be no problem.

He put away the body identification stone, calmed down his emotions, and then slowly closed his eyes, calming down.

After a while.

He began to operate the exercises, allowing the breath in his body to establish a connection with the vitality of the surrounding world.

In the sea of pills, vitality slowly surged.

All the meridians and acupoints in the body began to function.

Above the head, a transparent vortex began to appear.

The strong vitality released by the heart of the spiritual mine rushed directly to the vortex and quickly entered his body...

Soon, he entered a state of ecstasy.

Cultivation does not know the time.

When it was dark outside, Nangong Huoyue came here alone in a fiery red dress, looked at him quietly not far away, and then left silently.

It was almost dawn, and when she was about to go to the morning court, she came down to see him again.

In the blink of an eye, five days have passed.

This night, when Nangong Huoyue came to the ground again, Luo Qingzhou just put away his exercises and opened his eyes.

Nangong Huoyue's expression changed, and she waited at the door for a while, then walked over and said, "Full?"

Below the heart of the spiritual mine, the vitality is extremely pure and rich.

No matter how powerful he is, the meridians and acupoints in his body probably won't be able to bear it after five days of continuous practice.

Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said: "It's full, it feels swollen, and the absorption speed is getting slower and slower. It should be released before continuing to absorb and temper."

Nangong Huoyue said: "Ordinary release is definitely not enough. Do you have the skills of the late master?"

Luo Qingzhou stood up, glanced at the heart of the spiritual mine above, and said, "Yes."

Nangong Huoyue felt relieved, and said: "Then go to Zhen's practice room to practice. There is a powerful formation arranged there, and you can just cultivate and explode as you like."

Luo Qingzhou nodded, glanced at her, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Nangong Huoyue took a deep look at him, stretched out her hand to hold his hand, and said softly, "A family, how polite are you?"

Luo Qingzhou didn't speak any more, and followed her to the ground.

Even if it is a family, of course you have to be polite.

It is impossible to always let one of them pay silently, while the other will only say thanks.

He must act.

"Yue Wu told me that you are willing to go to the border to resist the demon clan on my behalf."

Walking on the steps, Nangong Huoyue's voice was very gentle.

Luo Qingzhou said: "This is the responsibility of the minister."

Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment, looked at him and said, "I didn't misread you."

Then he said: "Apart from being playful and lying, in fact, everything else is pretty good."

Luo Qingzhou said seriously: "Your Majesty, I don't bother you."

"Look, I didn't wrong you, it really is full of lies!"

Nangong Huoyue snorted coldly, led him up the steps, and came to the training room, saying: "You have been practicing below for five full days, I know that besides bursting out the energy of tempering organs in your body, you also want to What happened?"

Luo Qingzhou raised his fist, and with a "sizzling" sound, an electric arc appeared.

He said: "Thunder!"

Nangong Huoyue looked at this electric arc, her eyebrows twitched slightly, the expression on her face suddenly became cold and majestic, and said: "My cave is fragile and cannot withstand your lightning. I warn you, don't use it. Lightning!"

Luo Qingzhou saw that she seemed to have lingering fears, so he had to accept Lei Dian and said: "Okay, then I will not practice Lei Dian for the time being."

The expression on Nangong Huoyue's face finally relaxed and softened, and she said, "Go take a bath, your body stinks."

Luo Qingzhou walked to the bathtub, took off his clothes, and jumped in.

He hasn't bathed for five days, and during this period, waste is constantly being removed from the pores. Now his body is almost rotten.

Scrub for a while.

He took out the body identification stone and checked his current data.

Late-stage Grandmaster: Progress Six

Late stage of distraction: progress eight

Sure enough, the progress is slow.

It's just compared to his previous cultivation speed.

Compared with other practitioners, it is naturally many times faster.

After all, he was cultivating under the Heart of the Spirit Mine.

If it is an ordinary cultivator, if he wants to increase the progress of the master in the later stage, he may only increase two or three points in a year.

In five days, he has increased by four points, which is already very good.

At this time, the stone door suddenly opened.

A slender figure with long hair hanging loose and wearing tulle, came in with a towel in his hand, came behind him, stretched out a pair of slender hands, and helped him wash his body.

Luo Qingzhou was taken aback for a moment, turned to look at her, and said, "Miss Yuewu, no need."

Yue Wu lowered her head, carefully scrubbed his back for him, and said softly: "My lord, don't be shy, Yue Wu is not an outsider."

Nangong Huoyue wore a red dress, stood by the bathing pool, and said with a majestic expression: "She is indeed not an outsider."

It's outside at this time, it's just getting dark.

In the wee hours of the morning.

In the silent palace, a rush of alarm bells suddenly sounded.

At the same time, many guards shouted angrily from outside.

Waves of formations fluctuated, coming from all directions.

Suddenly, a blue figure appeared on the formation shield above the palace, suspended in mid-air, looking down coldly.

"There are assassins! There are assassins!"

The guards and imperial guards rushed over, drawing bows and setting arrows.

Many spirit masters also flew to the roof, ready for battle.
