The snow is still falling
The wind crossed the towering city walls and whistled wildly in the streets and alleys of Lebitt
Princess Jingyue and I walked side by side on the bluestone street with a layer of ice and snow, and my boots rang over and made a crisp sound.
There are no passers-by on the street, and the shops facing the street are closed. The mountains in the winter fall asleep early in the snow. Occasionally, a team of patrol soldiers walked by, but were avoided by Princess Jingyue.
Princess Jingyue suddenly flashed into an alley, turned around and listened to it before smiling: Finally got rid of them
I know she is talking about Yurilu. This guy is always loyal to us and still thinks he is not noticed.
It turns out that it's not just me, even Princess Jingyue doesn't like being followed.
Has it arrived? I asked
In this alley, Princess Jingyue said
When she got rid of Yurilu's tracking, she was very familiar with walking around the streets, just like she had lived in Rabitt for many years.
From this we can see that she is not unfamiliar with this city
Her infinitely delicate figure walked ahead of me, without any scruples or defenses, and seemed to be walking in the snow with an old friend who had been for many years.
I couldn't help but think of the scene when I walked side by side with her in the Temple City that day. The last time I led me to the residence of Siva Master, and where would this time be?
I don't know why, when she invited me, I followed without much thought, even ignored Yurilu behind me and Boris who tracked the bronze masker, Kusey
Maybe I wanted to find the information about the bronze masker from her, maybe I wanted to know why she appeared here?
But with so many reasons, I can't fully explain why I wandered around the mountains with such a girl with a special identity on a snowy night?
Although she has never shown hostility to me and has even helped me occasionally, it may not be the gentle plan of the Temple and His Majesty Jiaxiu.
After all, she is different from An Jisi
An Jisi and I have a common interest, which drives us to join forces to form an alliance
For Princess Jingyue, I may be a potential enemy and threat to the Temple and the Empire. She cannot be aware of this at all.
But strangely, she not only didn't look at me as an opponent, but instead laughed
Princess Jingyue stopped in front of a deserted tavern deep in the alley, turned around and smiled at me: Your Highness, this is this
The tavern is less than twenty square meters, with dim candlelight inside, and there is no one except the pavilion owner who is sleepy on the table.
She stepped into the tavern and said in a pleasant and pleasant voice: Boss, is it still open here?
The tavern owner looked up in a daze and saw us. He quickly stood up and said: We are open all night, what do you want to order for two distinguished guests?
From his behavior, I have judged that the tavern owner is just an ordinary citizen of Rebit, and this is probably not a secret contact point of the temple or the empire.
I think Princess Jingyue wouldn't lead me to that kind of place
On such a cold day, I need a bottle of Maxili's wine to warm up. Princess Jingyue sat down at a table in the corner and replied
OK, come now! The tavern owner ran to the wine cabinet and became busy
I sat down opposite Princess Jingyue, looked around the slightly simple tavern and said leisurely: This is not bad, how did you find it?
Because there is a tavern owner, I didn't call her directly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble
The day before yesterday, I happened to see an advertisement for opening all night. Princess Jingyue replied: Although the business doesn't look good, I heard that the boss brewed his own Maxiti wine is pretty good.
Maxiti wine is actually a common red wine among the people. It has a light and astringent taste and can also be brewed by ordinary people.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for such inexpensive wine to appear in the palace.
The day before yesterday? I asked: So you came to Lei Bitter early?
Princess Jingyue nodded gently and said: I saw you entering the city that day, but didn't come out to meet you
I snorted coldly: Oh?
Don't get me wrong, Princess Jingyue said: On the one hand, I'm afraid of disturbing you, and on the other hand, I shouldn't expose my actions, causing unnecessary trouble
At this time, the owner of the tavern brought the hot Maxiti wine, and Princess Jingyue said to him kindly: Uncle, go and rest first, if there is anything, I will call you
The owner of the tavern laughed and said: It's such a cold day, I'll prepare a stove for you to keep warm. He said that from the back room, he raised a stove with charcoal burning under our table.
A warm heat rises from the table
Thank you uncle, Princess Jingyue took two silver coins and handed them to the boss
Thank you, Miss. If there is anything, just call me. The owner of the tavern happily carried the silver coins and walked back to the table where he was lying on his back. I stretched my fingers behind him, and soon I heard him snoring.
Sometimes, I envy the life of the tavern owner. Although I don’t have the luxury of the palace, I don’t need to work hard to fight for power and profit all day long. Princess Jingyue looked at the tavern owner and sighed slightly.
A cold wind blew in from outside the door, and I waved my hand and brought up two wooden doors.
The sound of the wind and snow outside suddenly became much smaller
A mediocre life like him, waiting for a possible day when someone else cuts his knife off his head, or is robbed away the wealth accumulated by hard half of his life? Once danger comes, what else can he do besides crying powerlessly and seeking God's mercy? I sneered disdainfully: He may be able to live like this, but can you and me?
Princess Jingyue pondered for a moment and finally said softly: Yes, I can't, your Highness, you can't
For some reason, there is a hint of sadness in her words
I suddenly felt that in Princess Jingyue's heart, maybe she really longed for that kind of ordinary and leisurely life.
Although she is the successor of the Temple once a hundred years, the granddaughter of His Majesty Jiaxiu, and even my fiancée, she still has a dream that no one can understand or give to her.
In any case, she is just a girl, a girl who also has a beautiful life
But have everyone, including me, ignored it?
Under her noble and holy aura, has everyone forgotten this?
Suddenly, I felt as if I had touched the thoughts deep in her heart, as if I had entered another brand new world through her dreamy eyes.
Princess Jingyue's delicate body shook slightly, as if it also felt my thoughts
A wonderful communication is established in silence
But in just a moment, she had returned to normal, her eyes were clear, and her heart was tight.
Just now, Your Highness still seemed to be dissatisfied with my explanation, so Jingyue had to pour wine and apologize. She said, filling me with a steaming glass of Maxiti wine.
Congratulations to His Highness for regaining the mountains. Viarrell is just around the corner. She raised her glass and said
Does the princess understand that once I restore my country, you need to marry me?
Princess Jingyue smiled and said: This is Your Majesty’s will. How could Jingyue not know? But if that is true, would Jingyue have other choices as the princess of the Empire?
I nodded and drank the warm Massiti wine, and she drank it all in one go.
Filling the second glass of wine, Princess Jingyue smiled and said: This glass is to congratulate His Highness on conquering Kusé and Boris's two great sea sects, which has become more powerful from now on
My sharp eyes flashed across her face and said slowly: If I kill Romedar tonight, the temple will probably be happier. This glass of wine is too affordable for the princess and the temple.
Princess Jingyue was stunned and said softly: Why does Your Highness Xiu Lan think so?
I smiled coldly and replied: I will wipe out Kaolan's soldiers and soldiers, and relieve his disaster in the East. Kaolan's Haizong and Yading's Shanzong are now in the same situation as me. Isn't this what the temple like to see? Perhaps in the temple, I am really the cheapest razor, to clear them of the devil's disease for many years.
Regardless of whether the temple exists or not or not, the conflict between His Highness and the Shanzong Haizong is inevitable. Therefore, Jingyue can only wish His Highness success. As she said that, she calmly drank the wine in her glass, and her jade-like ears were filled with beautiful pink.
Isn't the temple afraid that I will take the opportunity to unify the Demon Sect? I stared at Princess Jingyue and asked in a deep voice
She replied calmly: No one can explain the future, right?
I nodded and drank the second cup
Princess Moon poured the third glass of wine in the mirror, and I asked: I don’t know what the princess has to say about this third glass of wine?
Princess Jingyue smiled and said happily: In this third glass of wine, Jingyue prays for the Empire and Biarrell to be peaceful and peaceful, and to stop fighting forever
I smiled and said: I am afraid that this princess' wish will not be realized easily
Princess Jingyue raised her wine glass and said: But this is also my greatest wish, I hope Your Highness will not laugh at me.
I drank the third glass of wine silently, and my body felt a warm feeling caused by the stimulation of alcohol.
Drink three cups in a row, Princess Jingyue's white and delicate skin, like snow jade, also showed a rose red, which looked even more beautiful and brilliant in the swaying candlelight.
She put down the wine glass and said: I wonder if Your Highness believes it. This is the first time that Jingyue drinks three glasses of red wine in a row. The original taste of the wine is really intoxicating. It can make people temporarily forget all their worries and enjoy a moment of leisure and tranquility.
I listened quietly to her in a dreamy voice, and before I knew it, it seemed to have been integrated into it. I forgot that there was still wind and snow outside the tavern.
I don’t understand why, every time I’m alone with her, I always feel a sense of peace and tranquility. Can her charm really affect my thoughts?
I couldn't help but be shocked and took a breath.
In any case, she is a princess of the empire and a disciple of the temple.
Suddenly, Princess Jingyue and I fell into a strange silence
The fire under the table is getting stronger and stronger, and the small tavern is filled with warm heat. Charcoal crackles from time to time, and one or two sparks of fire are emerging.
Finally, she slowly said: Did Your Highness see the man with a bronze mask covered with a water-colored figure?
I nodded and said: It's a mighty tiger's head, but I can feel a sense of evil aura emitted from the tiger's head
Princess Jingyue said: This is the bronze masker who is even more like him
Do you know who he is?
Does Your Highness still remember that I once told you about a palace past in the Temple City that day? I suspect that the bronze masker tonight was Montoya, the leader of the Knights Templars.
Is it him? I asked: Didn’t the princess say that he had been secretly executed by His Majesty Jiaxiu?
Princess Jingyue smiled bitterly and said: Commander Montoya is nicknamed "Tiger of the Empire". When fighting against the enemy, he always likes to wear a tiger-headed mask forty years ago. His Majesty Jiaxiu discovered the secret between him and the queen, but the real attack was the Temple.
I sneered: So this is the case that Your Majesty must also be solved through the temple
Princess Jingyue felt the sharpness of her words, but she resolved it with a calm smile: After all, the leader of the Temple is the candidate recommended by the Temple, so his fault will naturally take responsibility.
I looked at her peerless face hidden behind the veil, but I couldn't tell whether this sentence was sincere from her calm expression?
If one day the temple clashes with the royal family, which side will she stand on?
Should we defend the majesty of the imperial power as a princess, or should we maintain the power of the holy path as the descendant of the temple?
Although on the surface, His Majesty Jiaxiu relies heavily on the temple, in my opinion it is just a need for interests and a forced situation.
Your Majesty Jiaxiu should be dissatisfied with the Temple being too involved in imperial affairs, otherwise it would not deliberately cause various conflicts between me and the Temple. With the help of me to compete with the Temple invisibly
I think Princess Jingyue is undoubtedly aware of this, but what is her attitude in the vortex of contradiction?
She may be the only girl I can't figure out, but she is very important to me
If I could conquer her and make her my woman, then her position on the temple and the empire would no longer matter
No matter what, as Debor said, with the help of her, I can reach the center of power of the empire indefinitely, and even with the power to attack the temple.
I must conquer her, no matter what means I use
Princess Jingyue continued: But the first encirclement of the temple failed unexpectedly. Only one of the eight disciples sent to survive, including two paladins among the dead. The leader of Montoya also took the opportunity to escape from the imperial capital. At this moment, the temple knew that he had always hidden his true strength and origin. The skill of killing the seven temple disciples all originated from the Demon Sect.
This is not surprising. It is strange to think that Aden is the leader of the Mountain Sect, and Montoyaruo has nothing to do with the Demon Sect.
I couldn't help but say: Such a person actually became the leader of the Knights Templar. If it is spread, wouldn't he lose all the face of the Temple?
Yes, Princess Jingyue nodded and said: So for the past forty years, this matter has become the top secret of the temple. Even Captain Greron and His Majesty Jiaxiu have never known it, let alone Montoya's cultivation level has long been entered into the realm of a demon.
After Montoya escaped, the temple dispatched the Karesy, one of the three elders, and after more than half a month of tracking, he finally intercepted Montoya on Mount Sithri in the north of the empire. However, what was even more unexpected was that after a fierce battle, the Karesy retreated and Montoya's strength really shocked the temple.
Forty years ago, Montoya was able to repel the sage of Kare, one of the three elders of the Temple. Even if his cultivation has not made any progress in the past forty years, it is enough to make people look at it.
What's more, the strength he showed tonight was far above the level of a magician
Maybe he is unwilling to fight with us, otherwise even if the four of us join forces tonight, he may not be able to keep him.
Princess Jingyue continued: So, for the first time in the history of the temple, three elders were dispatched at the same time. The pursuit lasted for more than half a year. In the end, the three elders launched the ultimate magic of the temple, "The Glorious Light Array" to subdue Montoya.
Princess Jingyue sighed: The legendary brilliance array gathered the most powerful light power in the universe, sealed the enemy in the formation until it turned into dust. It took the three elders seven days to confirm that Montoya had been destroyed by the brilliance formation. Then they returned to the temple to report their lives for thirty years. In the next thirty years, Montoya had no news, and the three elders also practiced for ten years to recover their vitality.
It is conceivable how thrilling the battle that day was, and it was shocking.
But I couldn't help but admire Montoya's passion for looking down on the temple. No matter whether he is an enemy of me in the future, just by competing with the spirit of the temple alone, maybe it is difficult for the entire continent to think of a second person again.
After all, Montoya just had an affair with the queen, angered the imperial power, and made the temple and the royal family feel completely disgraced.
The temple may not allow such a heretic who is strong enough to threaten his safety, so he chased and killed thousands of miles and repeatedly encircled and suppressed until Montoya was turned into dust before he was willing to do so.
Is this what they call justice and holy ways?
I couldn't help but sneer a gentle smirk
Perhaps one day I will also take his path and confront the three elders of the Temple and even the palace lords of the Temple to the peak - as long as they dare to stop me!
My destiny is up to me, and even the temple cannot change me at all!
Thirty years? I noticed this time
Yes, thirty years Princess Jingyue replied: Because he actually appeared once ten years ago, and the location was the temple! He sneaked into the six palaces of the Temple and started a very secret decisive battle with the Palace Master of the Temple, that is, my master. As a result, both sides were injured and Montoya was injured and exposed to the temple, leaving a ten-year agreement. The palace master also entrusted the temple's secular affairs to the three elders for this purpose, devoted himself to meditation and meditation. Now the ten-year agreement is approaching, but he appears again but it is not as simple as last time. Maybe Prince Aden's rebellion is also part of it.
So, ten years ago, the Temple knew that Montoya was not dead?
Princess Jingyue nodded silently and said: In the past ten years, he has become the biggest enemy in the temple's mind, and the news of his not dead is also one of the biggest secrets of the temple. This time I left the temple city, on the one hand, to find the whereabouts of Prince Aden, and on the other hand, to collect news about Montoya.
I'll monitor me, too? I thought to myself
Princess Jingyue looked out the window and the sky began to light up slightly
After pouring the wine in the bottle, she raised her glass and said: It's almost dawn, Jingyue takes the lead. Please take care of your highness and be more careful about Montoya.
I understand what she means. Montoya is standing behind Aden and Kauran. Last night, he rescued Romedal.
Now that I am against Kaoran and Aden, it is hard to say that Montoya will not take action against me
Thinking of this, I smiled proudly and said: Princess, let’s take care of the ten-year appointment of the temple first. After saying that, I have a toast to the red wine.
Princess Jingyue stared at me, sighed softly, drank Maxiti wine silently, turned around and walked out of the tavern
The door opened, and a gust of wind and snow blew in, blowing away the warmth in the house
Hearing her silver bell-like voice from afar, he said: Thank you, Your Highness, for drinking all night with Jingyue, this is my rare happy mood.
Happy time?
I looked down at the empty wine glass, and there was a touch of bright red on the edge of the glass. In a trance, my thoughts were a little confused, as if I had lost something.
At this time, someone outside the house shouted: Boss, come and bring two bottles of Maxili’s wine!
It turns out that a drinker has arrived
I stretched out my fingers, woke up the tavern owner, stood up and walked out the door
The wind and snow outside the door are still there, but there are already pedestrians on the road
Just a beautiful woman
I looked up at the slight dawn in the sky, and walked into the wind and snow.
The wind crossed the towering city walls and whistled wildly in the streets and alleys of Lebitt
Princess Jingyue and I walked side by side on the bluestone street with a layer of ice and snow, and my boots rang over and made a crisp sound.
There are no passers-by on the street, and the shops facing the street are closed. The mountains in the winter fall asleep early in the snow. Occasionally, a team of patrol soldiers walked by, but were avoided by Princess Jingyue.
Princess Jingyue suddenly flashed into an alley, turned around and listened to it before smiling: Finally got rid of them

It is conceivable how thrilling the battle that day was, and it was shocking.
But I couldn't help but admire Montoya's passion for looking down on the temple. No matter whether he is an enemy of me in the future, just by competing with the spirit of the temple alone, maybe it is difficult for the entire continent to think of a second person again.
After all, Montoya just had an affair with the queen, angered the imperial power, and made the temple and the royal family feel completely disgraced.
The temple may not allow such a heretic who is strong enough to threaten his safety, so he chased and killed thousands of miles and repeatedly encircled and suppressed until Montoya was turned into dust before he was willing to do so.
Is this what they call justice and holy ways?
I couldn't help but sneer a gentle smirk
Perhaps one day I will also take his path and confront the three elders of the Temple and even the palace lords of the Temple to the peak - as long as they dare to stop me!
My destiny is up to me, and even the temple cannot change me at all!
Thirty years? I noticed this time
Yes, thirty years Princess Jingyue replied: Because he actually appeared once ten years ago, and the location was the temple! He sneaked into the six palaces of the Temple and started a very secret decisive battle with the Palace Master of the Temple, that is, my master. As a result, both sides were injured and Montoya was injured and exposed to the temple, leaving a ten-year agreement. The palace master also entrusted the temple's secular affairs to the three elders for this purpose, devoted himself to meditation and meditation. Now the ten-year agreement is approaching, but he appears again but it is not as simple as last time. Maybe Prince Aden's rebellion is also part of it.
So, ten years ago, the Temple knew that Montoya was not dead?
Princess Jingyue nodded silently and said: In the past ten years, he has become the biggest enemy in the temple's mind, and the news of his not dead is also one of the biggest secrets of the temple. This time I left the temple city, on the one hand, to find the whereabouts of Prince Aden, and on the other hand, to collect news about Montoya.
I'll monitor me, too? I thought to myself
Princess Jingyue looked out the window and the sky began to light up slightly
After pouring the wine in the bottle, she raised her glass and said: It's almost dawn, Jingyue takes the lead. Please take care of your highness and be more careful about Montoya.
I understand what she means. Montoya is standing behind Aden and Kauran. Last night, he rescued Romedal.
Now that I am against Kaoran and Aden, it is hard to say that Montoya will not take action against me
Thinking of this, I smiled proudly and said: Princess, let’s take care of the ten-year appointment of the temple first. After saying that, I have a toast to the red wine.
Princess Jingyue stared at me, sighed softly, drank Maxiti wine silently, turned around and walked out of the tavern
The door opened, and a gust of wind and snow blew in, blowing away the warmth in the house
Hearing her silver bell-like voice from afar, he said: Thank you, Your Highness, for drinking all night with Jingyue, this is my rare happy mood.
Happy time?
I looked down at the empty wine glass, and there was a touch of bright red on the edge of the glass. In a trance, my thoughts were a little confused, as if I had lost something.
At this time, someone outside the house shouted: Boss, come and bring two bottles of Maxili’s wine!
It turns out that a drinker has arrived
I stretched out my fingers, woke up the tavern owner, stood up and walked out the door
The wind and snow outside the door are still there, but there are already pedestrians on the road
Just a beautiful woman
I looked up at the slight dawn in the sky, and walked into the wind and snow.
