Cautiously passing through the guards at the city gate, Nie Ying quickly returned to his room in the annex. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, the thoughts in his head made it impossible for him to enter the cultivation calmly.

Whether it is the words of the heart, or Liu Xiran, it is difficult for Nie Ying to face, although he is full of confidence in his heart, but what kind of thing is the fusion creation exercise? In the dark forest, the mysterious old man's cultivation is so profound, with his ability, after so many years, he has only created a kind of exercise that has not yet been completed, he Nie Ying does not think that his talent is beyond the world, and his character is extremely good.

Compared with cultivation, in addition to talent and luck, creation also requires some accidents, or comprehension, as the old saying goes, once enlightened, soar to immortality. It may sound ridiculous to others, but Nie Ying thinks so.

"There are five elements in the world, and everything has two sides!" Unconsciously, Nie Ying couldn't help but recall the words of the mysterious woman in his mind.

"What the hell does that mean?" Nie Ying muttered in a low voice, turning his memory back to the aqua blue star, carefully searching for the books he had read, hoping to find inspiration.

Time passed little by little, and it seemed to be enlightened, but when I thought about it carefully, I found nothing. Effortlessly threw out the anxiety in his heart, and Nie Ying himself understood that this kind of thing could not be forced. Comforting himself like this, he slowly entered the state of cultivation.

Early the next morning, Nie Ying came out of the room in good spirits and went straight to the living room. Passing all the way, the people were curious, they had never seen Nie Gongzi so flustered, and they all thought, could it be that something big had happened? Suddenly, everyone was a little nervous. After being promoted from Li Qingchu to the crown prince, it is natural that the tide is rising, and even the subordinates feel superior to others, so in such a situation, of course, they don't want anything to happen to their master.

Seeing Nie Ying walking in in a hurry, Li Qingchu was also quite surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, so anxious? The retreat is over, have you made any progress in cultivation?"

Nie Ying was slightly stunned, and then felt a little helpless in his heart, this anxiety was not because of anything else, but after using the black gas once, it actually let it unconsciously affect Nie Ying's nature, and he was secretly frightened at the moment, and when he heard the beautiful woman's question, he didn't dare to slack off, his eyes swept around, and some of the people who cleaned up consciously and quickly left the living room.

"Miss Li, in your heart, am I a trustworthy person?" After everyone left, Nie Ying asked straight to the point.

Li Qingchu did not hesitate for a moment, and said: "Now there are few people around me who can be fully trusted, and you are naturally included." ”

Hearing this, Nie Ying's brows furrowed slightly, and his voice became a little cold: "Among the few people you said, is Lu Ji also counted among them?"

"Grandpa Lu?" Li Qingchu was stunned, not understanding the reason for Nie Ying's excitement, "Grandpa Lu raised me since I was a child, and he cares for me very much, of course, he is the person I trust the most." ”

"Miss Li, after you have a memory, is he next to you?" Nie Ying asked.

"Yes. ”

"Do you know where he came from?"

"I don't know. ”

"You've never investigated?"

Listening to Nie Ying's question, the suspicion between Li Qingchudai's eyebrows became bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help but interrupt him: "What do you want to ask? Is there some misunderstanding between you and Grandpa Lu?"

"Tell me, have you investigated his origins?" Nie Ying asked again.

Li Qingchu thought for a moment, and then shook his head: "For the person I believe, I will never ask him about the past, just like you now, I don't want to know what you did before." ”

Hearing this answer, Nie Ying really felt at a loss, Li Qingchu, who was extremely shrewd, was so cute at some point, but this also made Nie Ying have a much better opinion of her again.

Unable to get the answer he wanted, Nie Ying sat on the chair and said, "Don't let the third person know what we talked about just now." Seeing that the other party wanted to ask, Nie Ying followed closely and said, "You will understand in the future." ”

Seeing this, Li Qingchu had no choice but to suppress his doubts back into his heart and chuckled: "I'll go and prepare something for you to eat." ”

Suddenly, Nie Ying sneered: "It seems that you have to prepare two." ”

"Two?" Surprised, about a minute later, Lu Ji's staggering figure slowly appeared in the sight of the two.

"Grandpa Lu, why are you here?"

Listening to Li Qingchu's heartfelt call, Nie Ying's brows couldn't help frowning, and the killing intent in his heart was also growing rapidly. With the careful support of the former, Lu Ji slowly walked into the hall, saw Nie Ying, and said with a gentle smile: "Nie Gongzi, the limelight has been very prosperous recently, and everyone in the imperial city knows it. ”

"Hehe, this kind of thing can't be envied, because you're old enough to go into a coffin. Nie Ying smiled faintly, and his words made Li Qingchu anxious.

Lu Ji smiled, and was not angry because of this, "The old man was told his fortune when he was young, and he said that the old man's life is hard, but Nie Gongzi, you have to be careful, look at the black gas between your eyebrows, and there is a lot of luck recently." ”

"Really?" Nie Ying leaned back in his chair and tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, "I can't imagine that you actually know how to look at your face, I don't know if you can see if you will be able to see when you will die?"

"It's time for breakfast. Seeing the maidservant bring in early, Li Qingchu hurriedly interjected and came in. Nie Ying smiled coldly, and the fingers that knocked on the table were slightly raised, and a wisp of strong wind swept out like lightning.

Lu Ji turned his back to Li Qingchu, a cold glint flashed in his old eyes, and his body retreated slightly imperceptibly, just avoiding the strong wind range. Nakyo, the target of the strong wind is not him, but the tray in his hand.

'Bang!' The tray shattered with a clatter, and food slipped past Ludge's hands and slid to the ground. Nie Ying sneered: "I can't even hold a plate, saying that you can enter the coffin when you are old, but I still don't believe it." ”

"Nie Ying, you?" suddenly came to his senses, Lu Ji forcibly suppressed the resentment in his heart, and sat down on the chair tremblingly.

Looking at the actions of the two, Li Qingchu felt helpless, she didn't understand, why Nie Ying would target Lu Ji everywhere, and was about to open his mouth to resolve it for the two, outside the living room, a subordinate said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the Duke of Zhenguo asks to see you." ”

"Ask him to come in. ”

However, after a while, Li Tianquan walked into the living room with a smile on his face, compared with the last time, his face was obviously much less arrogant, with a group of harmony, and after meeting Li Qingchu, he said to Nie Ying: "Nie Xiaoyou, between you and me, it can be regarded as not knowing each other, and the past things will pass." ”

Li Qingchudai frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Uncle Huang is here, is it just to talk to Nie Ying about this?"

"Of course not. Li Tianquan said with a smile: "After you were promoted to the crown prince, a series of things were done very beautifully, and my father was also glad that there was a successor to the dynasty, so he set up a banquet in the mansion, and asked His Royal Highness to go with Nie Xiaoyou." ”

"No need, the palace is heavy, the banquet will be avoided, if there is anything to do with the emperor's uncle, please just say, the palace will also enter the palace to meet the emperor. Li Qingchu paused for a moment, and then rejected it in one bite.

Li Tianquan's face changed slightly, but this time it seemed to have become much deeper, and he still said with a faint smile: "There are court affairs every day, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must also know how to adjust, and a banquet will not delay you too much." ”

Li Qingchu was about to speak, but Lu Ji got up on the side and said slowly: "Your Highness, go, the old man has not been to the Guogong Mansion either, so it's better to take the old man to visit." ”

Nie Ying's expression moved, and he said: "Lord Guogong has a heart, why don't we go, and at the banquet, we can still talk about state affairs, are you right, Lord Guogong?"

"This is natural. Li Tianquan said with a smile, and when he looked at Nie Ying, there was a deep meaning in his eyes.

"Okay, the main hall and Nie Ying will arrive on time tonight. Seeing Nie Ying say this, although Li Qingchu didn't understand what he meant, he had no choice but to agree.

"Lord Guogong, the old man also wants to go, do you think it's okay?" Lu Ji continued.

Li Tianquan looked at Lu Ji curiously, the people who followed Li Qingchu's side, and were trusted, he naturally knew each other, but before the words in his mouth were finished, Nie Ying quickly came to his side and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I went to the Guogong Mansion to discuss important matters, not to visit." Lu Lao, you are dizzy and unreasonable, if you accidentally destroy one of his old man's treasures in the Guogong Mansion, causing unhappiness between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Guogong, it is not something you can afford. ”

"You?"

"Lord Guogong, His Highness and I will attend the meeting on time in the evening, you can go back and make arrangements. ”

Before leaving, Lu Ji glared at Nie Ying fiercely, the meaning of which was self-evident, but he was directly ignored by the latter, making the former boring.

"Nie Ying, what happened between you and Grandpa Lu, and why is there such a-for-tat?" In Li Qingchu's heart, the two of them were the most trustworthy people, so she didn't want the two to have any misunderstanding.

Nie Ying leaned back in his chair lazily, closed his eyes and said: "If I say it, you can listen to it, and you will have less contact with Lu Ji in the future, and more importantly, don't tell him some secret things about the dynasty." ”

"Why?"

Nie Ying seemed to be asleep, and didn't pay attention to Li Qingchu's questioning at all.

"Then you can always tell me, why did you promise Uncle Huang to go to a banquet?" Looking at the other party's laziness, Li Qingchu smiled helplessly.

Nie Ying suddenly sat up straight and smiled evilly: "Mountain people have their own clever plans, you just have to enjoy the banquet with peace of mind." ”

As the sky gradually darkened, the two walked out of the garden, got into the carriage, and rushed all the way to the Guogong Mansion. Unbeknownst to him, an old man slowly stepped out of the corner as the carriage disappeared into the street.

The mansion of the Zhenguo Mansion is in the north of the city, although the wind chasing beast is fast, with the size of the imperial city, it took more than an hour to arrive. At the luxurious gate, more than a dozen majestic men are guarding. Within a radius of 100 meters, there is not a single idle person.

Above the gate, which was enough for two carriages to pass side by side, three large golden characters shone brightly, and it was impossible to see through it at a glance when seen through the doorway, and a high wall spread all the way, encompassing everything within ten miles of the surrounding area.

"Apart from the Royal Palace, it is also the largest area here. Nie Ying said secretly and jumped out of the carriage.

"Nie Xiaoyou, my father has been waiting for a long time. At the door, Li Tianquan stepped forward enthusiastically, came to the carriage and said slightly respectfully: "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" Suddenly a respectful voice sounded around him.

Nie Ying secretly wondered, last time in the other garden, Li Yaoyang was reasonable, but he didn't see how much respect Li Tianquan had for him, why did he treat Li Qingchu this time...
