Coming to the guests?

A shallow smile appeared on the corner of Lin Mo's mouth, and he already knew who was coming in his heart.

Just in front of the gate of the Lin Mansion, there were two great cultivators of the Great Sword Master realm, each guarding a four-horse silver horse and a four-horse golden horse, and the one guarding the four-horse golden horse was the guard of King Rong, Di Wu.

As for the owner of the other four-horse silver horse, you don't have to think much to know that the one who can be escorted by the Great Sword Master must be another secretary of the Great Qian Empire and the second in command of the Hou Party, Xuanyuan.

Following Ding Bo, when he came to the guest hall, he saw two richly dressed middle-aged men sitting on both sides of the guest hall, it was Rong Wang Ji Guang and Shangqing Xuanyuan.

Behind the two of them, there were also two servants, each holding a beautiful box in their hands.

This Xuanyuan, Lin Mo had seen when he went to court today, was the person who stood side by side with Lin Mo on the left side of the Taiji Temple.

Xuanyuan has a mustache on his lips, he is in good spirits, but his temperament is slightly jealous, in comparison, King Rong's eyebrows are more stretched, and he deliberately showed a peaceful smile as soon as Lin Mo came in.

As soon as he entered the guest hall, he saw the two of them get up, Lin Mo hurriedly smiled all over his face, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I'm going down to investigate the case of Changle Inn, let His Royal Highness King Rong and Xuan Shangqing wait for a long time, and take care of it." ”

"Where is Lin Shangqing, I only waited for a moment below, but His Royal Highness King Rong, I will be waiting for you in the morning. Xuanyuan's words were full of respect for King Rong, but there was really some yin and yang weirdness.

Knowing that Xuanyuan's words were ridiculing King Rong for being too anxious, Lin Mo still had to apologize to King Rong, after all, King Rong was the respect of Prince Daqian, and his status was high, so it was really rude to let him wait.

"It's a rude official, and I hope His Royal Highness King Rong won't blame him. ”

Saying that, Lin Mo was about to bow down and apologize, but he was immediately supported by King Rong, and King Rong smiled gently: "Lin Shangqing is serious, you are going to work hard for me, how can this king be blamed, this king is anxious." ”

Saying that, King Rong led Lin Mo to sit down on the main seat, and he sat back in his original position, saying: "This king has long heard that Lin Shangqing has broken the 100,000 elite army of Beidi with more than 20,000 people in Yan Kingdom, this talent, this king admires and admires it very much." ”

Lin Mo said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Rong has praised it falsely, how can he have that ability in the next, but it is just the favor of God and the good luck in the next, and what kind of talent is there in the next." ”

Lin Shangqing was humble. King Rong waved his hand and said: "Beidi's tiger and wolf division is famous in the entire Zhongzhou continent, and Lin Shangqing can break Beidi on the northern line of Yanshan with twenty-seven vassal states, and the two tens of thousands of people of Yan State, the weakest national strength, this talent, who in the world can match?"

Listening to King Rong's praise, Xuanyuan secretly pursed his lips, this His Royal Highness King Rong's kung fu is really good, it is estimated that he has been photographed too many by the people below, and he has no teacher.

"Furthermore, Lin Shangqing can sit firmly in the position of the sect master of the Mo Sect, one of the three peaks of the Zhongzhou Continent, if you don't have the great talents of the world, how can those arrogant cultivators be able to obey you. ”

Lin Mo said lightly: "In Xia Lin Ziyong, he is a literati hermit, and this time he was also invited by His Majesty the Emperor to go down the mountain, and it has nothing to do with the Mo Sect, one of the three peak sects, please don't misunderstand His Royal Highness King Rong." ”

Although now in Qiantian City, people who are slightly well-informed know that Lin Mo is the sect master of the Mo Sect, but Lin Mo went down the mountain this time with his own words and the name of Lin Ziyong.

And although everyone in the world knows that Lin Mo and Lin Ziyong are the same person, the sect master of the Mo Sect, and the great Qianshangqing, they don't know that in addition to these two names, Lin Mo also has a name, called Lin Luan, who is an avenger.

Seeing that King Rong was speechless by Lin Mo's soft words, Xuanyuan suddenly felt happy, and took the opportunity to say: "Lin Shangqing's words are extremely true, Lin Ziyong is Lin Ziyong, what are you doing so far!"

"By the way, Lin Shangqing, I heard that your second lady is very fond of watching the beautiful scenery between heaven and earth, and she uses these beautiful scenery into books and paintings. ”

"It's a pity, most of them are enclosed in the royal garden, if Lin Shangqing and the second lady are interested, I have a jade plate given by the nobleman here, although it has no great effect, but it is extremely convenient to use it to open the way. ”

As he spoke, Xuanyuan beckoned to the servant behind him, and the servant holding the box hurriedly walked in front of Lin Mo, bowed down, and lifted the one in his hand to Lin Mo.

When Lin Mo opened the box, he saw a token made of mutton fat white jade, which was also stamped with the seal of Emperor Daqian, needless to say, the noble person in Xuanyuan's mouth was the queen mother.

Because the treasure seal of Emperor Daqian is in the hands of the Queen Mother in the Na'an Holy Palace, it is obvious that Xuanyuan took out this token to recruit Lin Mo for the Queen Mother.

And this token is not as simple as Xuanyuan said, because this token does not even have King Rong, who holds a lot of power, with this token, everywhere he goes, all officials have to kowtow.

Seeing Xuanyuan's breezy appearance, Lin Mo sighed in his heart: This Xuanyuan is really an old fox, this token is so light by him, or using Zhilan as an excuse, if he doesn't accept it, wouldn't he slap him in the face in front of King Rong, then he will directly offend him.

As soon as he arrived in the imperial capital, he directly offended a Shangqing, and indirectly offended the entire Hou Party, which was not good! And King Rong, who was temporarily at the bottom of the wind at this moment, also pursed the corners of his mouth, and looked coldly at how Lin Mo was going to react.

But in this regard, Lin Mo did not panic at all, and sighed: "Alas, Xuan Shangqing is really difficult for me, if I accept it for my second wife, if the third lady has no gifts, I will be unlucky, my third lady is a troublesome master, this is really difficult to die." ”

Seeing Lin Mo answer like this, King Rong cheered up, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he laughed loudly: "Lin Shangqing doesn't have to be embarrassed, it just so happens that this king is here, and he has prepared a generous gift for your third lady." ”

As he spoke, King Rong motioned to the servants behind him, and came to Lin Mo with the box, Lin Mo opened it and found that it was an extremely delicate and beautiful sword.

Looking at the sword in the box, Lin Mo's eyes couldn't help but light up, because this sword was so exquisite, the sword body and scabbard were snow-white, and the scabbard was also decorated with rubies, which was priceless at a glance.

"This sword, named Qiu Lai, is the most famous sword-casting master Yang Yezi of our time, which took nine hundred and eighty-one days to cast, and it is not only very exquisite, but also can be blown and broken. King Rong personally explained to Lin Mo on the side.

Looking at the two treasures in front of him, a smile secretly appeared on the corner of Lin Mo's mouth: You two know that there are two ladies in my house, but each of them only brings a gift, this is forcing me Lin Mo to make a statement!

But do you think I Lin Mo can't do it?

Lin Mo smiled faintly and beckoned to Qiu Yun: "Qiu Yun went to the backyard to call the two ladies, and His Royal Highness Xuan Shangqing and King Rong sent heavy gifts, let them come and thank them in person." ”

Okay, didn't you Xuanyuan and King Rong give gifts under the banner of my two wives to force me to make a statement? Then I will really let them pick them up, and you Xuanyuan King Rong can't recruit them.

"Yes!" Qiu Yun bowed, walked out of the guest hall, and headed for the backyard.

Listening to Lin Mo's words, King Rong instantly understood in his heart that in front of Xuanyuan and himself, it was impossible for Lin Mo to make it clear which side he was leaning towards.

However, King Rong was not displeased at all, but today he came to have a good meeting with Lin Mo and inspect Lin Mo, King Rong knew that the real grinding kung fu was still to come, and he couldn't rush it now.

So, King Rong immediately laughed, pretended to be happy, got up and said: "Since you are willing to accept it, Lin Shangqing is an early dynasty and an investigator, so he must be tired, so this king will not bother, and will leave first." ”

Seeing that King Rong was about to leave, Xuanyuan, who knew that Lin Mo would not make a statement, immediately got up to say goodbye to Lin Mo, and left the Lin Mansion with King Rong one after another.

In front of the gate of the Lin Mansion.

Xuanyuan, who left the mansion, and King Rong looked at each other and smiled, Xuanyuan smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Rong guessed really well, this Mo Sect Master will really play haha (perfunctory meaning) to us, and accept both gifts, it seems that if we both want to recruit him, we have to work hard." ”

This time, King Rong and Xuanyuan were agreed, each person only brought one gift, and the purpose was not to force Lin Mo to express his position and let Lin Mo choose whom, just to initially test Lin Mo.

"Then Xuan Shangqing, the next thing to do is to rely on our real skills, see you later. ”

"See you later, His Royal Highness King Rong. ”

Just after Xuanyuan and King Rong left, Lin Mo took the white jade token and the Qiu Lai sword on the table, and together with Xifeng, he turned around and walked out of the living room, and just came to the gate of the inner courtyard, he saw Qiu Yun standing there fixedly.

Seeing Lin Mo coming, Qiu Yun bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Sect Master." ”

"Well done. Lin Mo nodded, praised Qiu Yun, and then continued to walk towards the inner courtyard.

Qiu Yun didn't really summon Bai Zhilan and Baili Allure, because Lin Mo had expected that Xuanyuan and King Rong would definitely join forces to test him this time from the moment he entered the gate.

also expected that the two of them would use Bai Zhilan and Baili Allure as an excuse, so Lin Mo confessed to Qiu Yun early when he first entered the gate.

Coming to the door of a house, Lin Mo dusted off the snow on his body, pushed the door and walked in, and Xi Feng and Qiu Yun, who were holding their swords, consciously stood at the door.

During the day, after getting Lin Mo's approval, Xifeng, Qiu Yun, and Ding Bo can still enter the inner courtyard, but once it is night, only Lin Mo can enter the inner courtyard where the female dependents live.

Entering the room where the silver frost charcoal was burning, Lin Mo felt a burst of warmth coming.

Bai Zhilan, who was standing behind the case and painting, saw Lin Mo coming back with a token and sword in his hand, put down the pen in his hand, and asked while undressing Lin Mo's cloak: "Husband, Xuanyuan and King Rong are gone?"

Lin Mo nodded, and handed the token in his hand to Bai Zhilan: "Zhilan, this is the token given to you by Xuanyuan on behalf of the Queen Mother, and with this token in the future, you will be able to enjoy the royal gardens of this Qiantian City." ”

After Bai Zhilan hung the cloak on Mu Shi (a wooden shelf for hanging clothes in the house in ancient times), she took the white jade token with both hands, glanced at it, smiled gently, and put it away.

"Oh, by the way, what about Allure?" Lin Mo looked around the room, but didn't find the figure of Baili Allure: "I still have a sword to give her here." ”

Bai Zhilan smiled lightly and said, "Sister Allure is practicing swords in the courtyard at the back." ”

After speaking, Lin Mo and Bai Zhilan came to the back yard, and saw Baili Allure standing with a sword, wearing a simple red tight-fitting ancient skirt, stepping on cloud boots, heroic, essence, quite a female general.

Looking at the Baili Allure City standing quietly in place, Lin Mo asked Bai Zhilan, "How long has Allure been practicing?"

Bai Zhilan covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Sister Allure got up at 9:15 this morning, started practicing swords at about four o'clock (10:00), and after eating at three o'clock (11:45), she started practicing again at the beginning of the day (13:00), and now she doesn't have a lot of production at three o'clock (13:45). ”

"Well, it's been more than an hour. Lin Mo was very satisfied, but in her heart she was extremely envious of Baili Allure, she didn't get up until nine o'clock, and she went to work in the palace at nine o'clock.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo sighed in his heart: Alas, it's not easy to support a few wives!

Just as Lin Mo was sighing in his heart, Huo Ran opened his eyes, and his eyes suddenly shone brightly, shooting towards the huge rock not far away, with great momentum, as if there was a raging flame rolling towards the hard rock.

At this moment, the sword in the left hand of Baili Allure City automatically flew out of the scabbard, and the tip of the sword was aimed at the rock.

"Bang-"

The moment the long sword touched the hard rock, it was like cutting tofu, and the rock was cut in half.

"Whew-" Baili Allure let out a long breath.

"Bang Bang Bang-"

Accompanied by a burst of applause, there was also Lin Mo's voice: "Congratulations to the lady of Allure, you have finally touched the threshold of the Great Sword Master, if you practice diligently, the day of breaking through to the Great Sword Master will not be far away." ”

"Husband, you're back. ”

Baili Allure smiled sweetly, rushed into Lin Mo's arms, and said happily: "It's all your credit, husband, it was in the morning that you asked Sister Zhilan to tell me about my shortcomings." ”

As he was talking, Baili Allure paid attention to the sword in Lin Mo's hand: "Hey, husband, the sword in your hand is very good-looking." ”

"King Rong gave it to you. Lin Mo put the sword in the hand of Baili Allure: "King Rong said that this is a sword, the name is Qiulai, and it can break your hair if you blow it." ”

"Sword Qiu Lai?" picked up the Qiu Lai Sword and smiled, and Baili Chengcheng became interested: "Since it is a sword, let me try it." ”

After speaking, Baili Allure threw the Qiu Lai Sword into the sky and pulled out the red long sword in his hand, an elegant and agile body, and the red long sword instantly cut the Qiu Lai Sword into two.

"What a broken sword, it's just a good job, people haven't used their vitality yet, and everything is broken, I think this King Rong is a liar. ”

Looking at the Qiu Lai Sword shattered in two on the ground, Baili Allure pouted, and suddenly he was overjoyed, and threw himself into Lin Mo's arms again, looking at the red long sword in his hand, and said happily: "It's still the Blood Rain Sword that my husband personally forged for me is sharp." ”

"Of course, what your husband gave to the lady of Allure must be better than others'. Lin Mo gently hugged Baili Chengcheng, his face full of pride.

The Qiu Lai sword sent by King Rong was made of fried steel as the main raw material, and the fried steel was made of fried wrought iron as raw material, which was repeatedly heated, folded and forged many times, and was mainly popular in the Han Dynasty in China.

The level of forging technology in the entire Zhongzhou continent is the same as that of the Han Dynasty in China.

However, the Blood Rain Sword that Lin Mo sent to the city was made of the best steel filling in ancient China, which was made of pig iron and "wrought iron" as raw materials, heated to above the melting point of pig iron, and smelted together.

The steel filling is several times better than the fried steel, and the Blood Rain Sword is also forged with the best snowflake iron in the steel, which is not only several times better.

Therefore, it doesn't take much effort to cut off a piece of Qiu Lai with a blood rain sword.

Blood rain sword, blood, take the favorite red meaning of a hundred miles of the city, rain, take the rain of a hundred rains and gold.

Baiyu gold, that is, peony flowers, peony has very strict requirements for climate, and the origin of peony Luoyang, it happens to be a relatively water-scarce place, peony only in the year when the wind and rain are smooth, can bloom luxuriantly, it is also very golden, so peony is also called Baiyu gold.

Therefore, the meaning of the Blood Rain Sword is that the red peony flower is just like the delicate and noble peony of the Baili Alluring City.

Just when Lin Mo wanted to enter the room with Baili Allure and Bai Zhilan, Ding Bo's voice came, interrupting the interest of the three of them.

"Sect Master, a guest is here. ”

Aren't Xuanyuan and King Rong just gone, who are they this time? Lin Mo was very curious in his heart, let go of Baili Allure and Bai Zhilan under him, tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the house.

Interrupted by her interest, Bai Zhilan smiled lightly, didn't say anything, picked up the coat that Lin Mo had taken off from the ground, put it on, tied up her loose hair with a silk scarf, and followed behind Lin Mo.

"Who is this? dare to disturb Aunt Ben and grandma to give birth to a child for her husband. Baili Allure cursed secretly, picked up the coat from the ground and put it on, just put the hair behind his ears, and hurriedly followed.

In the guest hall, there were four people sitting quietly.

Baili Allure and Bai Zhilan sat on both sides of Lin Mo, looking at the kneeling people opposite, the eyes of the three of them were full of surprise, especially Baili Allure, how big a pair of moving eyes were.

Looking at the person in front of him, Lin Mo was also full of disbelief, was silent for a while, and asked in surprise: "Girl, why are you here?

The person opposite the three of them was none other than Sanpin Jieyu, the eldest grandson, who had never been touched by Emperor Daqian.

Looking at Lin Mo on the other side, the eldest grandson's jade face was faintly flushed, and he replied timidly: "His Majesty the Emperor has rewarded you with the concubine body." ”

"What?" Lin Mo exclaimed at the same time.

In the morning, in the Yuehua Palace.

The eldest grandson Youyin was secretly sad in front of the dresser, and the maid Xiaowan led Gao Yue in, and as soon as she came in, Gao Yue began to congratulate the eldest grandson Youyin.

"Congratulations to Jieyu Niangniang, oh, no, it's Princess Yuyin, His Majesty the Emperor has promised you an excellent family, and you will be blessed with him in the future. ”

Hearing Gao Yue's words, the eldest grandson Yuyin instantly fell into a daze, and asked with a blank face: "What princess Yuyin?

Gao Yue smiled slightly and explained, "That's the case, Princess Sorrow, Your Majesty has made you a princess, and wants to send you out of the palace and marry a good family." ”

The eldest grandson was stunned for a moment, but soon the eldest grandson came back to her senses, and she understood that she should have been used as a pawn by Emperor Daqian, and given to a certain minister to curry favor with that person.

Thinking of this, the expression on the face of the eldest grandson was even more gloomy.

When the eldest grandson Sorrow was about to cry and lament his ill-fated (chuǎn), Gao Yue comforted: "Don't misunderstand Princess Sorrow, the family Your Majesty found for you is the one you have seen in the Imperial Garden today, the handsome man standing in front of the old slave." ”

As soon as Gao Yue's words came out, the eldest grandson Youyin instantly stopped crying, looking at the bronze mirror, the eldest grandson Youyin seemed to see Lin Mo's delicate face and warm smile.

Lin Mansion, Hakka Hall.

"This is really ......" After listening to the cause and effect of the incident, Lin Mo didn't know what words to use to describe it,

However, Lin Mo has now fully understood the reason, it turned out that when he was in the Imperial Garden, Gao Yue thought that Lin Mo had taken a fancy to the eldest grandson Yuyin, so he told Emperor Daqian about it.

This Emperor Daqian was also happy, and directly and secretly named the eldest grandson Yuyin as a princess, and sent someone to quietly send it to Lin Mo, although there was no official edict to make him a princess.

Why is it quiet? This is not nonsense, giving one's concubine to the minister as a concubine, can it still be open? Isn't this the same as slapping oneself in the face!

But now that the eldest grandson has been sent out, it is impossible for Lin Mo to send her back, if she is sent back, this is disgusting her?

No, if the eldest grandson is sent away, it is estimated that it is possible for her to seek death, and the matter has developed to this point, Lin Mo can only choose to leave it.

Looking at the opposite side, Yurong had a faint blush of the eldest grandson Sorrow, Lin Mo asked seriously: "Princess Sorrow, although you were rewarded to me by His Majesty the Emperor, I still have to ask you, are you willing?"
