[112] General Assembly

On the day of ancestor worship, the wind was beautiful and cloudless. According to the custom, the emperor led the prince and his ministers to the altar and paid tribute to the ancestors. Music, worship, three bows, recitation, the scene is magnificent and grand. Go through the entire process, from morning to noon. Then, at the end of the ceremony, the emperor and the crown prince were worshipped by all the people and the envoys of the tributary state. The queen stood beside her, not in line with the emperor and the crown prince.

The civil and military officials have other views on this. It seems that he used to be the aggressive master of the Moon Room Palace, and he doesn't seem to be like the Empress Dowager Hu, who is not so greedy for power.

Hua Xiyan is jealous of his youngest son, and he can leave this deep palace to travel the world. This kind of chic is really something that can't be bought for tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The envoys of the various countries bowed and thanked and departed.

Ye Luqi, the second prince of Dawan Kingdom, when leaving, bowed deeply to the emperor and queen, and said: "This king will return to the country this time, and he will live up to the expectations of the saint and return the queen's kindness." ”

This time the big bison will go back, and it will definitely be a big job. However, it is difficult to say whether he can bring down the big prince with Xizhen's support in China.

Seven days later, the emperor gave the princess Ji Yao, the pearl of the eldest princess's mansion, the lord of Ji Yao, the princess of Ji Yao, and married the only girl who remained in the capital to the king of Western Qin.

Princess Ji Yao's beautiful wedding ceremony, Hua Xiyan remembered that when she married him, she didn't have such a grand scene, just a hundred cars with a magnificent dowry, and went to Xiqin with the princess. Of course, that had something to do with the instability of the times when he first ascended the throne. Where can he be like him now, removing dissidents from the court and covering the sky with one hand. Who dares to say no, it really can't threaten him.

Before Li Jiyao got married, he had a long talk with her. Originally, it was supposed to be a mother-daughter deep talk, but now, she has become the eldest sister-in-law like a mother, and she acts as the eldest princess. The depression in the eldest princess's heart has not been removed, and even after hearing that Li Jiyao said that she married voluntarily, she was even more unhappy.

Hua Xiyan that night, and Li Jiyao were a long story short. As a woman, what should she do after marrying her husband, Hua Xiyan is simplified into one sentence: the husband sings with the woman, and the woman sings with the husband.

Because if she really wants to say it, she really can't finish it in two lifetimes. What's more, her own marriage has only been gone for a few years now, and her experience is only that, saying more or less, saying a lot less, and he has made do with him, and has not been knocked down by others, and has achieved a little success.

Li Jiyao has a deep understanding of her words: "He is blind, I usually have to listen to him, help him more." At the same time, of course, I can't take me as a concubine, so I don't have any defenses. When I go there, it is inevitable that some people will want to take advantage of the situation, bully me as a Tanglin person, and squeeze me in his house. ”

Xiao Nizi should not look naΓ―ve, because she witnessed the struggle between the eldest princess and the concubine in the eldest princess's mansion, and saw through the relationship between husband and wife in the world. A high-ranking woman like the eldest princess who can suppress the horse master can't control the horse master to find another woman, let alone a husband with a higher status than his wife.

Hearing that she could say such things, Hua Xiyan's heart was steady. Seeing that this little girl went to Xiqin, she was definitely not as weak and vulnerable as the eldest princess thought, and she might be much more powerful than the eldest princess. The so-called blue is better than blue.

After Li Jiyao married Xiqin, the eldest princess was alone in the eldest princess's mansion, she was lonely, and the silence was difficult to eliminate, and the emperor took off the golden plaque of the pearl in her palm. The number of people who come to flatter the eldest princess is decreasing day by day. The traffic in front of the eldest princess's mansion turned into a door. The scenery of the eldest princess's mansion is no longer there, which seems embarrassing.

However, the day before yesterday, after the Chen family went to the eldest princess's mansion to see the eldest princess, they found that the eldest princess was not like the one who had just died before, when her body was reduced to the point that her face was thin like a finger, but now, she has eaten a little fatter, her face is round, her face is bitter, and she can occasionally show some smiles.

Speaking of which, this is all because of the contribution of Li Lihua, the county lord who stayed in Tanglin instead of Li Jiyao. What agreement the eldest princess and the second princess reached later, the people outside are not clear. I only know that when the second princess returned to Western Qin with the Qin King's welcoming team, she left the county lord of Lihua in the eldest princess's mansion, saying that she wanted the county lord of Lihua to accompany this aunt more.

Li Jiyao went to Xiqin, and the most reliable backer was undoubtedly the second princess. Li Lihua stayed in Tangling, the holy will is unpredictable, Li Lihua can have a period of choice for one or two years when she gets married, at this time, if you can get the support of the eldest princess, don't look at the eldest princess's mansion It seems that the scenery is no longer there, but in the end, it is the only aunt who let her stay in the capital. The eldest princess always has some way to let Li Lihua not be wronged in Tanglin, and with the strength of the Chen family, Li Lihua can marry not very badly. Presumably, the emperor should not let Li Lihua marry poorly because of Xiqin's face, that is, let Li Lihua marry not too badly.

The second princess's real abacus must have been privately negotiated with the eldest princess. Thinking that in this Tanglin, the best person who can be worthy of Li Lihua is, of course, the Yun clan suzerain who entrusts the marriage to Dongling. But Yunchenjing, this person, is too elusive and difficult to climb. In addition to the cloud and dust scene, in Tanglin, can you pick out a few that match Li Lihua?

Hua Xiyan thought, I'm afraid that even my brother and the palace lord who countless women are secretly chasing have not been able to enter the eyes of the second princess.

After all, the second princess is in Western Qin, Western Qin values martial arts and light literature, and people like King Qin are good at martial arts rather than literary ink, and they all know that the second princess's son-in-law in the mind of Chenglong is definitely not her brother's partial literature.

At that time, Hua Xiyan was not as ambitious as the second princess thought, and it turned out that the second princess was aiming far more than Dongling.

Before I knew it, it was almost a month since Xiao Mumu left the palace.

Autumn begins to bring winter to its prime.

After the youngest son left, it was reported that the eldest son, the little prince, had recently concentrated on practicing swordsmanship, and even the four treasures of the study, which he loved most on weekdays, were aside.

The little prince is under a lot of pressure, because he sees that the fairy sword conference once every ten years is about to be held. This will be the first time he has attended such a conference where all the celebrities and masters in the world gather. Thinking of his father's performance at the conference back then, how could the little prince damage his father's reputation.

Hua Xiyan walked to Guangyang Hall that day, remained silent, and stood in the distance to watch his son practice martial arts.

The sword held by the little prince is called the spirit sword, which can be adjusted according to the height of the martial artist, so the prince holding the sword does not look like a villain holding a big axe.

Brush brush, the sword wind is fierce, the fallen leaves are like thousands of flowers floating around the small dragon robe, the sword light waving in it, the clouds and water, like a meteor, the leaves are touched by the sword light, it is to smell the sword and dance. The small dragon cannon embroidered with gilt Jiulong is blended with the sword, the sword light flashes, and the dragon shadow follows. The nine dragons flew among the flowers, causing thunder in the sky, shocking the earth.

It is said that when the little prince practiced martial arts, there were thundershowers every day in the palace. As a result, when the civil and military officials entered the palace to meet the saint, they all had to hold an oil-paper umbrella every day.

In the Yongning Palace, the emperor who received the invitation to the Fairy Sword Conference fell into deep thought. This dragon face did not seem to be happy, nor did it have any other expression. It should be said that this fairy sword conference is held once every ten years, and everyone has long expected that this event will be held this year. The difference is that unlike the previous seasons of the Sword and Fairy Conference, this year was unexpectedly chosen in winter.

In the cold winter, drinking and dancing swords under the beautiful scenery of the ice and snow is not lacking in a beautiful thing. Anyway, as long as the real master is not afraid of the cold or the heat, he is not afraid of the weather conditions.

Therefore, no one can say that it is not good to hold a fairy sword conference in winter.

The people who decided to hold the Fairy Sword Conference were all the largest and most famous sects in the world, and then invited celebrities from all walks of life, including all sects, including the royal family, including people from the god clan, to participate in such a grand event. Such a conference has a long history and should have a history of more than 1,000 years. So that people, on the contrary, have long forgotten the original intention of the event, only know that showing their skills in such a grand event is definitely the best opportunity to become famous in the world. Therefore, there would be no objection to the holding of such a conference. Fame and fortune are things that many people yearn for. Especially for those who are in a high or low position, and can only wait for such an opportunity to show themselves to the world.

Zhang Mingxian stood in front of the emperor, stroked his white beard with his hand, his white eyebrows were sometimes slightly raised and sometimes slightly deepened, and he said in a low voice: "According to the old minister, this conference, the people of the nine major god clans will participate. ”

It was not surprising that the people of the Nine Great Divine Clans would participate. Every time the Fairy Sword Conference is held, the Protoss will appoint different people to participate, in order to get ahead, but it is better to observe the enemy's situation and know the enemy. Anyway, there are all kinds of abacus. Therefore, what Zhang Ming said first was that this time it was the nine leaders of the nine gods who appeared together. This is definitely a precedent in history that I don't know if there is.

The head of the three most prestigious sects in the world has to think twice about why he issued such a unique invitation to the nine major god clans.

"Is the Holy One going to the meeting?" Zhang Mingxian asked cautiously.

Yun Mei was as faint as a white cloud in the sky looking down at all beings, and said: "First Emperor, Gao Ancestor, it is said that my ancestors of several generations have not had this opportunity to meet with other God Clan brothers, I thought, it would be a pity not to go." ”

Presumably, the other Protoss people all had the same thoughts as him. Although I usually hear about each other, I'm afraid that even seeing each other is quite difficult for various reasons, and it can be said that there is basically no chance. Now, for some reason, everyone can get together, like watching the excitement. As for whether it is possible that this will become a trap or trap set by one of them, it is unlikely that anyone will be caught or harmed.

The one who sent the invitation letter was the head of the three major sects in the world. These heads have skills comparable to those of the Protoss. Moreover, more than the Protoss, he cares more about his own reputation. Because unlike the Protoss, who rule over the people, these leaders rely on their reputation to pull their apprentices.

Gathering the nine great gods and daring to set traps on the people of the nine great gods is like a move to break the trust of the world. These heads of the house would not come up with such a stupid idea unless they must have been caught in the door.

Letting the Nine Great Protoss hold such a gathering must be for another purpose.

The gossip about the purpose had not yet reached him.

instructed Zhang Mingxian and other cabinet elders to preside over the government when he attended the Fairy Sword Conference. When Li Zimo was asked by the old minister whether he invited the queen to sit in the palace when she left the palace, he suddenly spit out without thinking and said, "I want to take the queen with me this time." ”

I haven't forgotten that he left her in the palace back then, thinking it was for her good, but as a result, she died in the palace where he thought it was the safest.

It seemed that if she was half a distance away from him, he didn't even feel that she was safe. The so-called once bitten by a snake for ten years is afraid of the well rope. He was afraid.

I'd rather take her on an adventure than suddenly hear her leave him somewhere else.

Ordered someone to pack up, and this time, the emperor took a few young courtiers to rely on and walked together.

The palace is like a trip with the holy car. Mrs. Gong made some dry food for her son at home, so that he could take it with him on the road.

"Mother." Gong Xiangru held down his mother's busy hand and said, "If you make it for me, why don't you make some for Jinxi." ”

Mrs. Gong was a little stunned when she heard this, as if she didn't expect her son to see some clues.

"Jinxi she-" Gong Xiangru said, "no matter what, she is the daughter of the Gong family." ”

Madame Gong sat down, holding her hand on the table, as if she was deep in thought.

Gong Xiangru stood in front of her, was silent for a moment, thought about pouring her a glass of water, and asked softly: "Does my mother have any concerns in her heart?" ”

"I went to the White Dragon Temple last time."

White Dragon Temple? Gong Xiangru heard these three words, and a hesitation crossed his eyebrows. He didn't like the White Dragon Temple very much. However, in the capital, the place where ordinary people can burn incense and worship Buddha is nothing more than the White Dragon Temple. In order to collect money and maintain the status of the White Dragon Temple, some of the things that the monks there do are somewhat worldly, such as loving the rich and hating the poor. However, it cannot be denied that there are many monks in the White Dragon Temple, and some abilities.

I only heard Mrs. Gong continue: "The master there said that Jinxi was reincarnated, and it was that life, and it was not that life. I pondered and pondered, but she was no longer just my daughter. ”

"Mother, how could she not be your daughter?" Gong Xiangru frowned, as if he couldn't understand his mother's words.

Madam Gong raised her head and glanced at him: "You may have misunderstood what I meant." I mean, it's true that she was my daughter, but perhaps, she wasn't destined to be my daughter before she was born. She just borrowed my mother to come to this world once. ”

Listening to her mother's words, the corners of Gong Xiangru's eyes slowly narrowed. Immediately after, a wind blowing from the window hit his backbone, which made him instantly excited, and remembered, and immediately went to close the door and window.

"Mother." With his hands pressed on the door, Gong Xiangru slowly turned around and said, "If that's the case, can you deny that she is your daughter?" ”

Mrs. Gong was shocked by her son's words, and her lips opened slightly: "Does your father know about this?" ”

Gong Xiangru walked back: "Mother, you all know that your aunt is the suzerain lady of the Yun clan. ”

If you don't have any ability, no special ingredients in your blood, how can you sit in the position of the sect master's wife. In this regard, Mrs. Gong also suspected that her family was afraid that it was not so simple.

Gong Taishi happened to be an official who studied and recorded history, so he had already investigated his wife's family, and some things might have stimulated Mrs. Gong, so he didn't choose to tell Mrs. Gong. Including the secret that Madam Gong's sister became the wife of the sect leader of the Yun clan, and Madam Gong only learned about it later. Gong Taishi had never been honest with Mrs. Gong before.

After hearing what her son said, Mrs. Gong sighed: "You guys are hiding everything from me." ”

"Mother, Jinxi is your daughter, and I am also your son."

"But I can at least know what you're thinking, but I don't know what she's thinking."

My sister is sometimes different from before. You can feel it yourself. In the past, Gong Jinxi was good at being naughty and mischievous, and he would discuss it with his brother. However, the current Hua Xiyan, what is the matter, what plans she has, basically no one will tell anyone. It's kind of a complete change of person. Mrs. Gong is the most taboo about this, because the traditional husband and son make her think that children should listen to their parents. In comparison, for the current Hua Xiyan, Gong Taishi is much more indulgent. This may also have something to do with the fact that Gong Taishi's temperament is different from that of Gong Madame. Gong Taishi is a relatively tolerant person who can accept all kinds of new things.

Gong Xiangru thought: "Mother, Jinxi has experienced something that ordinary people have never experienced such as closing the ghost gate once, naturally, it is a little different from the past." ”

Mrs. Gong trembled slightly, as if suddenly, she had figured out something.

Speaking of which, the daughters entered the palace for the sake of the palace family. Later, her daughter had an accident in the palace, and it can be said that if it weren't for their mother's inaction and inability to support their daughter, how could they have died tragically in the palace. Who is she to blame her daughter? Because, as a mother, she has not been able to protect her daughter's life before.

If the daughter blames her for this, she should do it. On the other hand, what did she do?

"Mother?" Miya-sangru looked at her mother worriedly.

"You're right. I, I'll make you something delicious. Madame Gong said as if to herself, stood up, and prepared to repack her son and daughter, while saying, "Similarly, your father and I may not be able to protect your brother and sister." Therefore, you brothers and sisters must support each other. ”

"Mother and father don't have to worry about it. Jinxi and I are both so old that we already know how to take care of ourselves. ”

Gong Xiangru said this, but in exchange for a wry smile from the palace lady.

"Jinxi, there is no need to say that. You see, even she has to worry about your marriage for you. Don't you think it's a little unseemly for you to be a brother? ”

mentioned that he had not been able to marry a wife and honor his parents, and the palace was like knowing that he was at a loss and hung his hand.

"I don't want to talk about yours either." Madam Gong said, "However, I don't know what is going on with you and the young lady of the Qi family. I heard that the young lady of the Qi family has good feet and can walk. Moreover, it is said that Lord Qi may want to return to his hometown and do not want to stay in the capital. Think about it yourself. ”

Her feet are good, this, he has already listened to the report of the sixth uncle. Master Qi resigned and wanted to leave, but he had never heard of it. Between Yingxiu's eyebrows, a slightly heavier shadow fell.

Hua Xiyan was in the palace the next day, and suddenly received that her mother asked to see her, and she was taken aback, thinking that something had happened at home. So he hurriedly asked Mrs. Gong to come in, and walked to the door to pick it up in person.

Mrs. Gong walked in with a small baggage, waved her hand without letting her help her, and said, "I have dexterous legs and feet, and I am not seventy or eighty." ”

Hua Xiyan, please sit down, no need to salute.

Mrs. Gong, who has always paid attention to etiquette, somehow sat down this morning this morning and opened her baggage. Inside, two wooden boxes were revealed.

Linglong smiled and said, "Miss, this is a cake made by Madame herself, you and Your Highness can eat it on the way." ”

Mrs. Gong's cooking skills are okay, especially some snacks such as pastries, if Xiao Mumu is there, he will definitely shout to feast on it.

"My daughter thanked her mother on behalf of Her Highness." Hua Xiyan thanked her mother for her blessings.

Mrs. Gong said: "This cake, although I am a little embarrassed to His Highness, is mainly made for you to eat." I heard that you have a bad appetite lately, so I put some plums in the cake to make it appetizing. You travel with the saint all the way, although you have your brother with you, but it is always not a good thing to take medicine, and food is the best for daily conditioning. You have to take care of the Holy One, you have to take care of Your Highness, and I only hope that you can take good care of yourself. ”

This is probably the most tender thing my mother has ever said to her. Usually the mother's training is to take care of the emperor more, to know how to teach the husband and children, the daughter's family, and the marriage, all of which are destined for this life, with the husband as the key link. Now, Madame Gong has learned to think about herself first, as her modern mother did.

Why did Madame Gong suddenly change her mind?

Hua Xiyan was slightly surprised.

"No matter what, you are a member of the palace family, the saint and the crown prince are royal people, I am your mother, of course, you have to think about your daughter first." Mrs. Gong said.

It seems that Mrs. Gong suddenly figured out where she was. No matter how good the son-in-law's grandson is, but he is a foreigner, how can he compare to the daughter who fell out of his belly. In the end, if the daughter has three long and two short, the saddest thing is their palace family. The emperor has no wife and can remarry. The little prince has grown up, and he also doesn't need a mother.

It's a fool to think that the children born are all given to others for no reason. If so, they are not parents at all.

Hua Xiyan was touched in an instant. He sat down with his mother, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Mother, mother will think like this, someone must have said something to mother, right?" ”

Mrs. Gong has always been a cautious person, and when she heard her words, she suddenly realized that she was overly exposed, which aroused her daughter's suspicions. Regarding what Gong Xiangru said last night, of course Mrs. Gong would not say it to her daughter. Therefore, he said, "Why?" It's just that your brother saw that I made bread for him and didn't make it for you, so he told me for fear that you would be annoyed with him. I think about it, you can't always favor your son and make the relationship between your brothers and sisters discordant. ”

The corners of Hua Xiyan's lips curled slightly, and she smiled: "Mother, don't worry, I will discuss anything with my brother." ”

"Well, you guys have to be very careful on this trip." Mrs. Gong entrusted her daughter heavily.

"Mother, if there is anything to do with my mother, even if it is a temple pilgrimage, please discuss it with my father before making a decision." After the last incident, Hua Xiyan also told her mother to be cautious.

After Mrs. Gong left, Hua Xiyan opened the lid of the box containing the food, and saw that the cakes placed in it were all exquisitely made, presumably Mrs. Gong was afraid that she would have a bad appetite, so she deliberately made the cakes smaller and more delicate, so that her appetite could be better. In the end, it was her mother, Mrs. Gong's words just now, which quickly reminded her of a lot of things, and she couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart.

On the day of the trip to the palace, the weather was not very good. The sky over Aventurine Kyoto is covered with some clouds. Seeing that winter is approaching step by step. It was reported that the place where they were going, that is, the place where the Fairy Sword Conference was held, had already snowed.

For an emperor who likes to go out on patrol in micro-clothes, such weather cannot stop his interest in traveling. Travel, perhaps to enjoy the mountains and rivers, or to be sympathetic to the people's feelings, to observe the exotic customs of various places. For the former, of course, the weather should be taken into account, and for the latter, there are no conditions. Li Zimo is from the latter.

The carriage traveled from the palace for two days, at first in a hurry, but on the third day, it was already a long distance from Kyoto, and the emperor was itching in his heart, and began to get off the bus often in the middle of the way, and the casual interest came.

The little prince sat in the carriage and did not forget to cultivate cross-legged along the way.

Hua Xiyan lifted the curtain and saw that her son was focused on preparing for the war and had no intention of playing, so she couldn't bear to disturb and put down the curtain. The emperor, who followed the roadside, followed suit and said, "Is Master Wan planning to eat here?" ”

When he went outside, he called himself Master Wan, and she called herself Mrs. Wan. When the people looked at them, they could only think about where the big family, perhaps in business, took their son and his family of three out on a trip.

When Li Zimo heard the title of Wan Ye, he was in a very good mood. This means that he is finally away from the palace, which is like a prison. What's so good about being an emperor? He really couldn't think of any benefit other than taking care of everything every day, working hard in everything, and worrying about the rations of so many people in the world.

Holding her by the hand and looking out at the beautiful countryside surrounded by mountains, he said, "How about I get you a pheasant and roast it?" ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the courtiers who followed them all shook their heads in disapproval. Eat pheasant, what if you suddenly eat it and your stomach is broken. The idea of the courtiers was to enter the town in front as soon as possible, where the restaurants were cleaner and more regular, and they were not afraid of being secretly spoiled or poisoned.

But the emperor's heart was already unhappy, and I came out to forage for wild food, and eating in a restaurant was not the same as in the palace, so in any case, I had to eat in the countryside.

On the country road, a couple set up a stall to greet all sorts of people passing by the mountain road. There are people who work, there are officials who do business, and there are merchants who do business. Since this road is the only way to cross the mountain, the couple has a good business.

Hua Xiyan approached with the emperor who was in a hurry in front of him to take a look, because in the countryside, there must be no good dishes to take care of the guests, especially meat food, which can only focus on vegetarian food. Generally, it sells steamed bun rolls, and there are no steamed buns wrapped in meat. However, there are some simple foods in the countryside that are rarely seen in ordinary palaces. For example, real Xiangshui tofu. The water used to make tofu here comes from the clear mountain springs, and it is delicious and sweet.

The sun was shining, and it was just time for lunch.

Hua Xiyan thought about it, since the emperor decided to eat here, he instructed people to call the little prince who was concentrating on his hard work to get out of the car, and then think about other things when he finished eating.

The carriages they were in were all parked in the woods, a little hidden, and only the close ministers were brought on foot. The shopkeeper and passers-by could only tell that they were rich people. The Emperor walked up to this place and pointed to a table to sit at random. At the other end, a nobleman's carriage galloped here, jumped down with the appearance of a domestic servant, saying that his son-in-law was going to eat, and without saying a word, moved the stool that the emperor was about to sit on. Fortunately, the emperor reacted quickly, otherwise his ass would have squatted on the ground.

In this regard, the courtiers who accompanied the car were shocked, thinking about where this local tyrant came from, and even dared to grab the emperor's seat.

"Childe, Miss, there is a seat!" In order to please his master's servants, he didn't even look at the emperor's face with disdain, and shouted into the carriage.

It can be seen what kind of master there is and what kind of house slave can be had.

At lunchtime, there are already many guests. This time, the emperor was gone. And then caught up with Miss Gongzi, who didn't know the identity of the emperor and grabbed the position, and slowly got off the carriage. Seeing that it was two young people, the young master was in his early twenties, and the young lady was about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing silk and satin, wearing treasures, gold and silver, and they should be the heirs of a large family, I don't know if they are officials or merchants.

The young master and the young lady walked to the table that should have belonged to the emperor, and sat down with a big thorn, as if they couldn't see the emperor and the other people standing next to the table at all.

The noble young master opened the fan, waved it pretendly, and said to the servant beside him, "Who is this?" Why are you standing here? As he spoke, he looked at Master Wan with a look of arrogance and disdain.

Wan Ye went out on patrol in micro clothes today, and the clothes he wore were indeed not as exquisite as this young master.

At that moment, when Master Wan and Mrs. Wan didn't react much, the few close ministers who followed behind couldn't help but slander in their hearts: This person, how he died in the future, he may not know.

Wan Yeyun's eyebrows were faint, and no one could see it clearly, so he glanced lightly at a close minister who followed him.

This close minister happened to be Zhang Mingxian's grandson Zhang Daoshu, who was sent by his grandfather to accompany the emperor to advise the emperor this time. Grandfather Zhang Ming was a cabinet elder and was erudite and talented. Zhang Daoshu is no exception, he was born as a champion, and he is known as the four great talents in the capital.

Receiving the eyes of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Daoshu shook his spirit, stepped forward, and asked the arrogant young master: "The contemptible person's surname is Zhang, and my son's surname is Wan, not a person." ”

When the other party heard what he said, he thought that he was here to slap himself, but he was not more and more proud, and raised his eyebrows at the servant, and his behavior was even more disrespectful.

The servant smiled at his master, and after receiving the order, he walked to Zhang Daoshu, waved his hand to Wan Ye and Zhang Daoshu a few times, as if he was driving away, and said, "My young master, not everyone can get acquainted. ”

Zhang Daoshu just smiled at the corner of his mouth: "May I ask if this young master is surnamed Mo, a protΓ©gΓ© of the Heavenly Master Palace, commonly known as the seventh master of the Heavenly Master Palace?" ”

The little prince was already called off the carriage by the people sent by Hua Xiyan at this time, walked like flying, walked to the stall, and suddenly saw his father confronting others, and was a little stunned.

Hua Xiyan gradually retreated to the outer circle, put her hand on her son's shoulder, and thought about getting into the carriage first.

The name of the Heavenly Master Palace, she seems to have heard it said, it is one of the three major sects in the world. The people of the martial arts school think that they are much higher, and they don't think that they are a little worse than the court and the princes and nobles.

If this Young Master Mo is really the seventh gate master of the Heavenly Master Palace, he has this qualification to be proud everywhere.

I only heard that Young Master Mo was a little surprised when he heard Zhang Daoshu suddenly point out his identity, and at the same time, his thin face sank, because the person who could casually see through his identity, unless he had some qualifications in the Dao, he couldn't think of any other people. Therefore, it seems that Zhang Daoshu and his master are a bit provocative to reveal his identity in public.

"Seventh brother." The young lady sitting next to Young Master Mo had a voice like a yellow warbler out of the valley, crisp and delicate. Take a closer look, she has a pink face and goose cheeks, a green dress, and a colorful belt around her waist, she is a beautiful woman. Moreover, a pair of eyes full of wisdom are not as unruly as Mo Shao, but there is a bit of shrewdness and scheming in them.

"What's the matter, Thirteenth Sister?" Young Master Mo and the young lady beside him called each other brother and sister.

If Mo Shao is undoubtedly the seventh master of the Heavenly Master Palace, then this girl in green shirt is the thirteenth master of the Heavenly Master Palace.

On the country road, he suddenly met two of the three major sects in the world. If it was an accident, it was not likely. It can be seen that these two people are also in a hurry to participate in the Fairy Sword Conference. It makes sense to think about it this way. Wan Ye walked lightly and returned to the carriage.

For the sake of a meal, fighting with others is not Wan Ye's style. I stayed here just now to confirm the identities of these two people.

The emperor was gone, and a group of courtiers followed.

The arrogant Young Master Mo and the Thirteenth Aunt were left behind, but they were a little confused.

Young Master Mo pretended to be a fan, snapped, put it away, and bit down on his thin lips.

The thirteenth aunt is also worried, although she said that the other party is gone, why do you feel that it is not the other party who suffers, but themselves.

It's a pity that I didn't get to eat the most rustic food in the countryside. Wan Ye sat in the carriage, set up a chessboard, and passed the time boredly before waiting for the carriage to drive to the town restaurant planned by the courtiers. Hua Xiyan sat across from him, seeing him playing by himself, glad he didn't pull her into the water. But after he played two games by himself, he remembered her and stopped: "I was stunned, I actually forgot that there was a chess master here." ”

Hua Xiyan: "......"

"Is it hard to teach me to play chess?"

Hua Xiyan bowed her head: "How dare Jinxi-"

"Here we go again. How dare you?! He dropped the piece in his hand.

Hearing a little irritability in his tone, she helped him put the chess pieces on the chessboard back up, and said, "Master Wan wants to let Jinxi and Young Master Wan not be able to eat on time, because they feel ashamed, but they don't need to." ”

He only remembered later that his wife and son came out with him. If you remember it earlier, Young Master Mo, who dared to use strong words to seize the tyrant position, would have to vacate tables and chairs for his wife and son to eat. Otherwise, it's too useless to be a man.

It's just that the carriage is gone, and he can't turn back, which is even more shameless.

Seeing this man's awkward appearance, which was rarely seen before, Hua Xiyan grinned and said, "If Master Wan wants to atone for his sins, why don't you tell Jinxi a story." ”

She's here to relieve his boredom. But it made him very depressed. Let him tell her a story, does she think she is the little prince?

"What story does Jinxi want to hear?" In the blink of an eye, the indifferent fairy face has been adjusted, and there is no difficult thing in the world that can stump me.

"Jinxi wants to hear it, just tell an interesting story to Wan Ye."

"Interesting?" This is a new level of exam questions for him. What is interesting? I think that when the little prince couldn't sleep and coaxed the child, the child's requirements were not as tricky as her.

Yun Mei floated with a touch of contemplation, and he slowly spoke: "This story may be a little long. ”

"Jinxi listens."

"Once upon a time, there was a place where the people lived in almost isolation from the rest of the world by living on their own farming. Because of this, some of them are satisfied with their own little world, while others are not satisfied, and they have always wanted to get out of this place and see the vast world outside. One day, a young man with extraordinary courage finally made this astonishing decision to climb the eighty-one mountains of the Ninety-Nine Chains and go to the outside world by himself. However, as the boy traveled to the outside world, people outside were able to come into contact with the boy's hometown, which was almost isolated from the world. As a result, the people who lived there hated the boy to the core. ”

knows that he tells stories, and he is definitely not telling some ridiculous stories that are not made up. Hua Xiyan's heart turned: "Ninety-nine and eighty-one mountains." Jinxi accompanied Wan Ye on this trip, and he has already passed the twentieth mountain. ”

She is smart and clever and will never disappoint his expectations.

That's right, they are going to the place where the Fairy Sword Conference is held, the Seven Peaks Pool, and on the way, they have to pass through eighty-one mountains. Each Fairy Sword Conference may be held at a different time, but the location has not changed since ancient times, and it is all in Qifeng Pond.

It is a place with legends. The fairy pond surrounded by seven fairy mountains, the altitude of the seven fairy mountains, straight into the sky, so it can be called a fairyland. Ordinary people will never be able to go to such a high height. For example, Zhang Daoshu, who is not strong in martial arts, will have to carry Lin Jingqi on his back when the time comes. As for going up to the top, it's hard to say whether it can stick to it. According to modern knowledge, the higher the altitude, the stronger the requirements for people's cardiopulmonary function if they climb up. Ordinary people, it's hard not to suffer from altitude sickness.

"Wan Ye has been to Qifeng Pool?"

"I've been." Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, and seemed to remember the experience when he was a child, "At that time, the first emperor asked the master to take me there." What does that place say? A place where there is no food to eat. ”

Don't have food to eat? Hua Xiyan's first thought was that if the youngest son went to that place, he would definitely have to shout that he would have to go down the mountain immediately. Because there's nothing more terrible for a snack than not eating.
