After Jiang Ming recuperated for a long time, most of his strength recovered, and he proposed to go to the city for a walk. Although half of Jiangcheng has now fallen into the hands of outsiders, the fourth prince who has a thousand plans seems to have no intention of provoking ordinary people, after all, he is the most capable candidate to compete for the prince, and the recovery of Jiangcheng is to show his ability, and the people have no intention of giving people a handle. He's smart.

The city was peaceful as usual, Jiang Ming wanted to go and relax alone, but Mei Yuqi said that he would follow, Jiang Ming was helpless, so he had to wander with the host for a day.

As the sun set, the two returned to Mei's house side by side, and many maids and guards saw that Jiang Ming's face was not right, and only then did they realize that Mei Yuqi seemed to be deliberate.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Mei Kuan had already walked over and said with a gentle smile: "Jiang Minggongzi, can you still enjoy playing today?" Although Jiangcheng is not a big city, it can be regarded as a place where Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and it is quite good to settle down. ”

"This ......" Jiang Ming clearly heard the sound from the words, glanced at Mei Yuqi on the side, and had to smile bitterly: "The head of the Mei family bothered to mention it, but I am a martial artist, and I still have an uncompetitive business, so I can't live for a long time, I can't live for a long time." ”

Mei Kuan frowned slightly, and did not refute, but took out a letter from his cuff and said, "Jiang Minggongzi can do as he wishes, I will not force Gongzi." But this letter was specially sent by His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, could it be that the prince still has an old relationship with the Fourth Prince?"

"I have never seen this person before. Jiang Ming took the letter, did not evade, and tore it in front of Mei Kuan and Mei Yuqi, and read it without scruples.

Small words in the letter: I have heard that the Jiang Ming brothers have excellent martial arts skills and became famous in Huangshi Town, but I don't know when my brother came to Jiangling? If I didn't know my brother's true identity, I would brave the wind and frost to invite you. Tomorrow, Beicheng Jia Lou will hold a banquet, and I hope that my brothers are willing to give thin noodles, and I will look forward to it. If my brother Qiutong is here, he will definitely be more enthusiastic than me.

Settle down, autumn is unique.

Jiang Ming asked anxiously, "Who is the messenger?"

Mei Kuan said: "He is a martial artist, and he is the guard of the four princes on weekdays. ”

Jiang Ming fell silent, his face was extremely ugly, Qiu Jue knew his identity, how could he not avenge the murder of his brother? What's more, the people who sent the letter were all personal warriors, and no one believed that this banquet was not a Hongmen banquet.

Just when Jiang Ming was silent, the waiter outside the door suddenly walked in and said, "There is a woman outside the mansion with four guards who ask to see her, and she claims to be an old friend of Jiang Ming's son." ”

Old friends? Jiang Ming couldn't guess who this person was.

That glance is enchanting, a gorgeous red dress moves slightly with the wind, a graceful and slender figure stands gracefully, the skin is still whiter than the beginning, the delicate facial features are charming and vulgar, and a pair of eyes that seem to be moving like a clear spring, depicting a beautiful and peerless scenery. The woman held the oil-paper umbrella, and when she saw the comer, her eyes flowed, and she said softly: "I finally found you, Jiang Ming." ”

Jiang Ming would not care about these details, after some thrilling adventures in Huangshi Town, he had already understood that this enchanting woman was a friend rather than an enemy, and although he had won a deal for her, her support and help in many times could not be measured by this.

"Miss Kwai Ji, I haven't seen you for a long time, since Huangshi, I haven't seen this old human flavor for a long time. Jiang Ming regarded her as a friend, and he made a deep trust in his heart.

Kwai Ji moved the lotus step lightly, and under the gaze of Mei Yuqi, Mei Kuan and the two or three little guys, she grabbed Jiang Ming's arm and said with an ambiguous expression: "What, are you just receiving guests outside the door?"

Jiang Ming smiled bitterly, but he didn't think to let go of his arm, knowing that this woman was cunning by nature, she probably saw something, but she bowed her head slightly apologetically towards the neglected master's house, and then took Kwai Xi to the courtyard.

Seeing the two walking by cordially, Mei Yuqi's face was obviously a little unsightly, but she saw the woman with a charming face smiling at her, as if declaring sovereignty, and shattered her inner self-esteem. Mei Kuan noticed this scene, patted his lost daughter with a slight sigh, and said softly: "The man is too good, it is inevitable that bees and butterflies will disturb him, you also have your own ideas, don't be bitter about yourself." ”

Mei Kuan didn't say anything anymore, just walked to the house, leaving Mei Yuqi alone stunned, as if thinking.

Jiang Ming's place of residence is the guest courtyard of the Mei family, there are originally eight or nine guest rooms, and the environment is secluded, which can allow him, a lone wanderer who is not rich or noble, to live temporarily, and it is also Mei Kuan and Mei Yuqi who have great respect for him.

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, Jiang Ming shook off Kwai Xi's arm, his mouth was bitter, and he seemed to be angry: "I really don't know what you think, as soon as you come to this kind of opening, the Mei family master will be embarrassed." Kwai Ji twisted her waist, retreated from the four guards, and said: "I'm helping you get out of trouble, my first glance is to see that the girl is interested in you, if you don't use some means, you are afraid that you will be kidnapped by morality and stay in Jiangcheng, and make others a son-in-law, who will help me do things?"

"Forget it, Mei Yuqi may not have so many thoughts, and I don't have so many thoughts, I won't pay attention to the affairs of men and women before I embark on my path, and don't make your own decisions after that. Jiang Ming's words were quite serious, but his expression was sincere and sincere.

"That's nosy, but I still want to ask, do you still miss your childhood sweetheart? And the veiled beauty of Yi Xuanzong? Your eyes have betrayed you a long time ago. Aoi smiled and sat on the stone bench with a playful expression.

"How do you know?" Jiang Ming obviously underestimated this woman from the Yan Sect, his fiery eyes were undisguised at the beginning, and as for who he coveted, he had a good basis. He seemed to laugh at himself: "People are the children of the great sects in the land of three walls, and there should be many people who want to pursue her, so why should I rely on competing with those children." ”

Kwai Ji also didn't expect Jiang Ming to tell the truth, originally just ridiculed, but now she had to be relieved: "Will you go to Yi Xuanzong in the future?" With your talent, even if you can't be famous in all directions, but at least you have the strength to fight, maybe people will take a fancy to you?"

Jiang Ming laughed and said: "This assumption is very pleased, but I know my position, if you want to achieve a certain status, you must have a certain strength, isn't it?

"Come on, I'm afraid you think that my Yanzong Temple is too small to accommodate you as a martial arts genius! Your name is not sectally certified, it was just an expedient measure at the beginning, and I actually don't have the right to recruit new people. Besides, the Yan Sect has not had any new people join for five years, so how can it be an obstacle for you to join any sect. Aoi paused rather sentimentally, as if she was recalling something.

"Why? Isn't the Yan Sect a big overlord in the Zhu Tianye Domain? The eighteen great sects, and even the real status realm powerhouses are in charge, how can they not even do such a trivial thing as recruiting new people?"

"Although there are people in the sect who are strong in the status realm, they do not have the heart to govern the sect. Since the death of the previous suzerain, no one dares to covet this position, and the former suzerain's younger brother is an elder, but because of his excessive hatred, he chose to close himself and no longer ask about the world. The other three elders were too senior to take on the big responsibility, so they secretly cultivated young martial artists with potential, and the other and I were both the sect master seeds in their eyes, I was the red envoy, and Fang Weizhe was the green envoy. But since Fang Weizhe gained power, he turned the recruitment of newcomers into his own cornucopia, so even if you are willing to join the Yan Sect, I don't have the ability. ”

"This Fang Weizhe is very powerful, could it be that you can't defeat him with your means?"

"If it was a normal fight, I would naturally not be afraid of him, but there is a sect elder who is related to him, and many things are inclined to him, and the other two elders will naturally not blame each other for these trivial things, so I will naturally be at a disadvantage. In March next year, Yanzong will open the Yanluo Conference to determine the real candidates. I have been fighting with Fang Weizhe for six years, and he was able to take advantage of the situation to expel my sister Kwai Tan, and a year later, he will use all his forces to uproot my power, and if I don't have strong foreign help, I will definitely repeat the same mistakes. The purpose of Kwai Ji's trip is also here, to recruit Jiang Ming to help him and seize the position of candidate.

"This kind of competition allows people outside the sect to interfere?"

"Being able to recruit strong enough foreign aid is also a manifestation of one's own strength, and the three elders have already acquiesced to this way, and then Fang Weizhe and I will have three kinds of competitions, and we will win two in three games. I hope you can help me. ”

Jiang Ming was silent, he was willing to help Kwai Xi from the bottom of his heart, and he understood this woman's means, except for the fact that her martial arts cultivation was slightly inferior, she was very old and spicy in her strategy and wisdom, if she could promise this favor, it would be a big help in the future. It's just that he still has deep thoughts: "Kwai Xi, I will definitely help you wholeheartedly, but I also want to hear your thoughts, for example, what to do after defeating that green envoy? What should I do with Fang Weizhe? What will happen to the elder who supports Fang Weizhe?"

Kwai Ximei's eyes flashed, and she asked in surprise: "You mean that Fang Weizhe will join the elders to force the palace strongly?" She had never thought about these things, and she thought that as an elder, she would naturally not do these things that had been stinking for thousands of years, but once Fang Weizhe was defeated, that elder's support for many years would come to naught, and her power would be greatly reduced, and it was very likely that she would use abnormal means. When she thought about it like this, she was quite cold, and she couldn't help but turn cold, and said, "I understand, thank you for reminding me." ”

Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then since everything has been figured out, can you tell me the purpose of your trip? It should be more than just looking for me to join, you seem to know me very well, I promised to repay your favor, naturally I will not repent, but you still have to go on this trip in person, which shows that there are more important things." ”

Kwai Ji stood up, bowed slightly, approached Jiang Ming's chest, and said with a smile: "People must have made a special trip to find Gongzi, by the way, I will help you solve the problem in front of you, and by the way, go to the Sui City region to find a master of the eighth rank." ”

With such a charming gesture, Jiang Ming's blood couldn't help but boil a little, after all, he was a young man, even if he was determined, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

But Kwai Ji stood up very proudly immediately, smiling charmingly, sinking fish and geese, and she was the first class of elegance.

Night and day turned, and in a blink of an eye, no one could refuse the invitation of the four princes of the Qin Dynasty, even though Jiang Ming was responsible for Qiutong's life, he still decided to go to see the four princes.

"This Qiu is definitely not a stupid person, Qiu Tong may just be a stumbling block in his eyes, you kill him to fulfill him in a way, maybe he will invite you to join his camp. Kwai Xi's smile made Jiang Ming's worry lighter a little, not to mention that with the help of this beauty's wisdom on this trip, maybe things will become much calmer.

Out of the guest house, Jiang Ming saw Mei Yuqi leaning in front of the wooden pillar of the rain corridor from a distance, patting his legs from time to time, obviously standing here for too long and his legs were sore. Seeing Jiang Ming and Kwai Ji walking out side by side, her eyes instantly dimmed a lot, but she still showed a smile on her face and walked towards the two.

"Young Master Jiang Ming, are you going to Beicheng for a banquet? Those four princes have a lot of city government in their chests, and they will not ignore the summoning of idlers, and nine times out of ten they are trying to recruit sons. But now that the Qin Dynasty is in turmoil, the other princes are ready to move, and if they are caught in the whirlpool of the prince's competition, they will inevitably lose themselves. Although it is difficult for Yuqi to learn to be elegant, he has the courage to invite Ying to walk with his son, and he also has a word at the banquet. ”

When Jiang Ming heard this, he wanted to refuse, but when he saw the stubbornness and elegance in Mei Yuqi's eyes, he couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted, so he had to hesitate: "I have some relationship with the four princes, and going to the banquet is not calm on the surface, you don't have to take risks with me, after all, you have the identity of a member of the Mei family, and I am alone without scruples." ”

Mei Yuqi shook his head bitterly, and said: "Childe's rescue, Yuqi has nothing to repay, he can only do what he can, if he doesn't accompany Childe this time, I'm afraid I will live up to my heart." ”

Jiang Ming was stunned, if he couldn't understand the overtones in the words, it would be really a little stupid, but he was still surprised, he didn't expect this lady to be so bold. Kwai Ji was also a little moved, pulled Mei Yuqi to her side, and said angrily: "You are such a person, why are you so wooden! It is really hard-hearted to make a girl so embarrassed." ”

Jiang Ming smiled bitterly, why did he suddenly become hard-hearted, what this bad guy did was not clear.

"Okay, then you can follow me, it's really hard to be a bad guy these days!"

Such self-deprecating words came into their ears, Kwai Ji and Mei Yuqi both laughed, and the latter even directly grabbed Kwai Ji's arm, and chatted for no reason.

Jiang Ming greeted helplessly, and walked towards Beicheng, about an hour, the three of them stepped into the streets of Beicheng, but one street looked uneven, as if it was built according to the mold of waves.

Jiang Ming couldn't help but wonder: "It stands to reason that the official roads in the city should be extremely smooth, but why is this street so peculiar and has not been repaired?"

Mei Yuqi covered his lips and smiled: "Childe doesn't know, a group of desolate powerhouses came here decades ago, and they were besieged in the corner of this northern city, and they used the formation to dig a secret passage under the city, leading straight to the abyss, so they had to escape the pursuit of the powerhouses of my Yuanye Realm." The powerhouse of the Gakino Realm was furious and blew up the secret passage, but because of the accumulation of earth and rocks underground, the streets could not be restored, and the rulers of Jiangcheng could only pave a little groundwork on it to reduce the bumps. ”

"I see!" Jiang Ming and Kwai Ji naturally didn't know about this rumor, but they were very interested in this secret passage, Jiang Ming asked: "Beyond the abyss? Could it be that it leads to the Cambrian Pass? Where is the entrance to this secret passage?"

Mei Yuqi shook his head and said, "No one knows where the secret passage once led, let alone the entrance. After all, it's just a rumor, and it's not necessarily true or not. She was very happy to talk to Jiang Ming, at least on some level, she could know that he didn't hate her, and that was enough.

Kwai Ji smiled charmingly and said, "Sister Meiyu still knows so much, some people are afraid that they will have more knowledge, and they dare to despise his sister." Jiang Ming smiled bitterly again, it seemed that Kwai Xi was standing directly with Mei Yuqi, and he had the intention of targeting from time to time, he knew that this woman had other ideas, but he couldn't see through it, so he could only plead helplessly: "Where have I despised it, Yuqi's courage and courage are far better than ordinary people, and the arrangement of troops is even higher than me, and I have no other use except to be able to go into battle to kill the enemy." “

Mei Yuqi's face flushed, and she hurriedly said: "How can it be?" Gongzi is unique, young and promising, and his character is also superior, Yuqi is a real admirer of Gongzi, how can other reckless men compare!"

"Uh......" Jiang Ming was embarrassed, but he didn't know how to face Mei Yuqi's straightforward confession, so he had to turn his head and walk faster in a panic.

Kwai Ji playfully grabbed Mei Yuqi's hand and said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to that wood, that person is old-fashioned and tight, and a big man is like a little girl." ”

Mei Yuqi seized the opportunity to ask: "I don't know how many days my sister and Jiang Minggongzi have been getting along?" Seeing that the two of you are harmonious, I really feel beautiful, I can't help but talk nonsense, sister, don't blame." ”

Aoi Mei looked forward to it, and said with a smile: "How can you blame your sister? My sister looks so beautiful and moving, which man is not moved when he sees it, if you believe in my sister and let me find a good husband for you, I will definitely be able to meet my sister's heart." ”

"No need sister," Mei Yuqi hurriedly refused shyly, smiled a little bitterly, and said, "Actually, I already have a place in my heart, and I don't dare to trouble my sister anymore." ”

Kwai Ji paused, picked up Mei Yuqi's waist as if teasingly, and said, "That's fine, but Sister Rong said something decent, women must be optimistic about their lives, don't be like me, that guy is not a good person......"

There seemed to be resentment in Kwai Ji's words, Mei Yuqi listened to it, and just said some words of comfort, and then it was about makeup and dressing, and the two talked casually, like best friends for many years.

Jiang Ming also squinted at this scene, and had to sigh: "A play, a play." ”
