"Since this is the case, then Captain Yang, you have to get up even more, my father is my father, how can I have the confidence to accept such a big gift from you."

Seeing that Zhou Budo couldn't do it, Yang Xin could only get up, and at this time, the gate of the imperial city had also been opened, Yang Xin called a northern soldier soldier, and after a few words of command to him, he said respectfully to Zhou Budo again

"Your Royal Highness, the door has been opened, and I will escort you to meet Your Majesty before there are some unsightly servants in the palace who offend you."

"Brother Laughing, the two of them are still there"

Zhou Budo suddenly remembered Hu Di Xiao and Hei Thirteen, who were still recuperating in the carriage, and was about to talk about the two of them, when Qi Wuxi stepped forward and hugged Yang Xin's shoulder, and said with a smile at Zhou Budo

"Your Royal Highness, you don't have to worry about them, this is the imperial city, where the Northern Army is stationed, ask someone to inform the people of Yulin Rider and let them take Thirteen and Hudi Xiao over, they are all here, they don't have to worry."

Yang Xin heard this, and then remembered that there was still Hei Thirteen and suddenly laughed in the group, and called a northern sergeant over again, and commanded him

"You go to Yulinwei and report it, and let them send someone to greet you, by the way, Lao Qi, do you need to notify the Iron Arrow Zen Master?"

Qi Wuxian pursed his lips, since he had arrived in Jinling, he didn't care about the death or life of the sudden smile, but the Iron Arrow Zen Master did not know that his apprentice had returned to Nanli now, and after thinking about it, Qi Wuxian said

"Let's also inform the Iron Arrow Zen Master, after all, smiling suddenly is also considered a meritorious service."

That's right, as far as the old Taoist priest Mude said, he suddenly laughed at the grade monks who killed a whole formation with the Black Thirteen in Chengdu City this time, this kind of merit is already a great achievement.

What's more, when he was looking for Zhou Budo later, he suddenly laughed and made a big effort, and together this merit was enough for him to be stunned for a while.

Yang Xin nodded, and after saying a few words to the northern sergeant, he looked at Kumu Dao

"Then, you can follow me into the palace."

After the group entered the palace, Zhou Budo looked at the familiar group of halls in front of him, although he was still young, but he had experienced this period of time, especially facing several life and death situations, even if the time was only two months, but it could make him feel a long-lost nostalgia.

Kumu was holding Zhou Budo's hand, and the two walked behind.

Qi Wuxian and Yang Xin became like a chatter at this time, chatting non-stop.

"Hey, Lao Qi, I suddenly laughed at him for making meritorious contributions this time, what about you? Did you suddenly laugh at your merits? I remember that you two are not enemies? Don't be compared to others this time. ”

Qi Wuxian listened to Yang Xin's words, his face changed, and he twitched a little, himself, meritorious service, should be regarded as there, right?

mistakenly believed in Dongxun's Jinyiwei branch, and almost left this line of five people in Dongxun....

, but suddenly laugh how did this happen?

How did he and the thirteen men manage to kill all twelve grade monks?

This is unreasonable, even if it is twelve first-grade monks, if you let Kumu go up, it can only be defeated, you suddenly laughed at the beginning that you couldn't even carry Kumu's two swords, even if Thirteen used secret techniques to increase their combat power in a short period of time, this can't kill all twelve grade monks, right?

What's more, as far as the old Taoist priest Mude said, among the twelve grade monks, the highest cultivator has reached the fifth grade.

What is this concept?

Kumu is now a step behind that man.

By the way, Kumu was also because he ate the Nine Herbs Jade Dew Pill he gave, not only did he remove the toxins of the Tianluo Needle, but also faintly loosened the bottleneck, and finally broke through to the Fourth-Rank Monk without much effort.

As soon as he thought that Kumu had broken through the bottleneck because of his Nine Herbs Jade Dew Pill, Qi Wuxian felt a little painful, but that thing was the only one he had worked so hard to get, so he thought about when his life was hanging by a thread for himself, and he went to Dongxun without thinking about it, and this thing was handed over.

Even if Kumu relied on the sword path to achieve great success, he could only fight with that five-grade monk, and if he won or lost, Qi Wuxian couldn't be determined, but even if Kumu could win that person, he would be seriously injured.

Kumu doesn't know if he can beat someone who can fight alone, how can you beat twelve people together when you laugh suddenly.

There must be something shady behind this!

But even if there is a shady scene, Qi Wuxian can only be a dumb person eating Coptis chinensis now, and he can't say anything about his suffering.

After all, now that the exploit of Sudden Smile and Black Thirteen has been completely confirmed, he has no reason to refute and overthrow this exploit.

I can only envy it.

But the mouth still has to be tough.

"Hey, you kid don't know, at that time, Kumu and the two of us entered the Dongxun front-line military camp, that guy, I came up and knocked down a captain, and the people of the Dongxun army were directly stunned when they saw it, okay, no way, who made us so strong, and directly pulled us and Kumu Xu into the Dongxun army with the position of a hundred people."

Kumu didn't say a word, as if he hadn't heard Qi Wuxian's voice.

"Yes, Lao Qi"

Yang Xin punched Qi Wuxian's left chest with a punch, and said with some surprise

"It's a hundred generals who came up, it's not bad, and he overturned a school captain from someone's house, huh? Captain? ”

Yang Xin came back to his senses and continued with some disdain at Qi Wuxian

"Just a school captain, what do you give this for? I thought you were a general, just a captain of Dongxun, really, I don't know where you got the face to tell me. ”

Yang Xin's expression of great disappointment, coupled with these disdainful words, immediately made Qi Wu hateful.

Captain?

Is that a lieutenant?

That captain can fight more than you kid, if Lao Tzu hadn't relied on secret skills at that time, he really wouldn't have been able to beat that captain, you, you, you, you are still picky, you have the ability to fight with others, see if you still laugh when the time comes.

Qi Wuxian gestured a middle finger at Yang Xin.

But Yang Xin rolled his eyes, turned his head to look at Kumu, and then asked Qi Wuxian in a low voice

"Hey, by the way, I heard that the military master of Dongxun's army this time is the first hidden dragon Shen Baoxu in Dongxun, how about it? Has Kumu fought with Shen Baoxu? ”

Qi Wuxian sneered, simply stopped his steps, walked to Kumu, and said to Yang Xin Yaowu

"What is the first hidden dragon, then Shen Baoxu is not Kumu's opponent at all, Kumu easily beat Shen Baoxu all over the ground in two or three strokes, hey, you guys with little knowledge probably can't imagine it."

Kumu frowned, and looked at Qi Wuxu with some displeasure, although Qi Wuxian was praising what he said, but this was too much to belittle Shen Baoxu, that simple ring battle seemed simple, he and Shen Baoxu had not had many tricks, but the severity of this, he didn't believe that Qi Wuxian couldn't see it.

Qi Wuxian may have realized that something was wrong with Kumu's eyes looking at him, coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then consciously closed his mouth.

However, Yang Xin believed what Qi Wuxian said, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but sigh

"My God, even I have heard a lot of Shen Baoxu's reputation, but I didn't expect that such a fierce man is not the opponent of the bitter sword master, and he is worthy of being the bitter sword master of my three major swords."

What the hell?

Bitter Sword Master?

Qi Wuxian was a little confused, and looked at Yang Xin suspiciously.

Yang Xin understood Qi Wuxi's confusion and explained with a smile

"This is because, as early as half a month ago, at the Great Court Meeting, His Majesty ordered that Lord Kumu be crowned as the kendo master of the Nine Emperors, so I said it as soon as I said it."

Kumu frowned, Nine Emperor Son Sword Master?

How did he somehow become someone else's master?

"The Nine Emperors? Which lady gave birth to a dragon son again? ”

Qi Wuxian didn't care about other points, anyway, in his opinion, this kind of prince's martial arts master was a false name, and what did he need to care about, but what he cared about was how his majesty was born with another prince now.

"It's Rufei Niangniang, who gave birth to a dragon son for His Majesty last month, and as soon as His Majesty was happy, he crowned the original Rufei Niangniang."

Yang Xin patiently explained to Qi Wuxian, these guys are also coincidental, even if they leave Nanli to carry out a mission, even if it is half a year, there will be no major incidents, but in the two months they went to Dongxun, the major domestic events happened one after another, just like they started with their front feet and their back feet.

"Like a concubine? Oh, the sister of the Ministry of Rites, she has been in the palace for so many years, and she finally got her wish to have a prince, which is very good. ”

Qi Wuxian replied dryly, a little absent-mindedly.

Now this Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, for their Jinyiwei, can be said to be a tricky hedgehog who has no way to start, six in addition to the Ministry of Rites, the remaining five, even if it is the Ministry of Industry with the least oil and water, its Shangshu will have some black material in their Jinyiwei's archive, but the current Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, born in poverty, has read poetry and books since childhood, has a good personality, and won the champion in one fell swoop through the imperial examination. Most of the officials can only eat the Qingfeng Yamen, and this champion is the same, for the official is honest, easy to fight grievances, although it is in the Ministry of Rites, but some grievances of the people have been accepted by him, and over time, some people who do not know the truth even think that the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites is the place where they go to complain.

In addition, his literary talent was the best in Jinling City at that time, and his literary style swept the south, even Jiangling City, which was once the head of the literary world, was praising the poems he left behind.

After the current majesty succeeded to the throne, he naturally defeated many competitors and sat on the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

For a scholar who did not have any handle to stay in Jinyiwei, Qi Wuxian was not interested in his feelings, because this scholar of the Ministry of Rites belonged to that kind of neutral faction, there was no faction in the court, and he was not close to the emperor, of course, there was a younger sister who became a harem concubine, and she could barely become a relative of the emperor.

Not to mention that the current concubine Rufei also has a prince, this Shangshu's next position is particularly critical, as a powerful Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, will he fall to some factions for the sake of his nephew?

Why do I think so much?

This kind of thing is left to others to worry about, I just returned to Jinling, and I have to rest for a while, so I don't know.

Along the way, the palace maids and some eunuchs in the palace all made a simple salute after seeing Yang Xin, as for the three gray-headed and dirty guys behind Yang Xin and next to him, it was good enough for these minions to look at them with disdain, how could they think that they could recognize them with a salute.

Fortunately, Zhou Budo didn't suspect that they didn't care much about this kind of etiquette, and they didn't see the other way of these minions.

When passing by the Xuanshu Palace, he happened to meet the fifth prince Li Shangyin and ran out of the Xuanshu Hall in a hurry as if he had met a ghost.

After seeing Yang Xin, Li Shang was stunned, quickly tidied up the crown of his head, coughed slightly, and asked Yang Xin

"Captain Yang? Aren't you on duty today? Why did you come to the Xuanmur Temple? Is there something I need to tell my father? ”

Yang Xin consciously moved out of the way, and Li Shangyin noticed the three people behind him.

Hey?

These three people, how can they be as disgraced as Hanako.

Oh no, why does it look familiar?

Isn't that undoubted?

Li Shangyin's eyes lit up, and he happily ran to Zhou Budo's side, ignoring the mess on Zhou Budo's body, he hugged him directly, and said to Zhou Budo excitedly

"No doubt, you can be regarded as back, do you know that the butt that I and the imperial brother have been waiting for you in the study for the past two months is almost unable to sit still, and I am bored to death with nothing to do all day."

Zhou Budo rolled his eyes, pulled away one of Li Shangyin's hands, and rubbed his neck, obediently, this guy almost strangled himself out of breath.

Seeing Zhou Budo like this, Li Shangyin smiled awkwardly, and then took Zhou Budo's hand and said

"No doubt, I don't have a letter why you came back, my brother and I thought you would stay in Dongxun for a while before you came back, how about it, Dongxun's side, are you okay?"

"It's good, thank you for the five princes."

Although Zhou Budo doesn't pay attention to the number of courtesies, it is the number of courtesies that others treat him, the number of courtesies that should be treated, and what should be done should be done, which is a compulsory course for Zhou Budo in the palace.

With the same face as he bowed his hand to the five princes, Zhou Budo continued

"The mission ended early, and I came back, what's the matter, I went to the study and had an awkward relationship with the Taifu again?"

The fifth prince smiled bitterly, spread his hands, and said with an extremely innocent pout

"How dare I, only the emperor's brother dares to fight with the Taifu, how dare I provoke the Taifu, no, just now my father called me to test a few questions, and I didn't answer as my father wanted, so I was kicked out, and I was almost beaten by my father."

This aggrieved appearance made Qi Wuxian laugh on the side.

However, Qi Wuxian quickly suppressed his smile and endured his smile, after all, the one in front of him was the fifth prince, and the identity of the prince could not allow him to make fun of him like this, and he had no friendship with these five princes at all, well, he didn't even have a one-sided relationship.

Li Shangyin glanced at Qi Wuxian, he didn't recognize this person, but he recognized the Jinyi Wei waist card on Qi Wuxian's waist, although he couldn't see what level it was, but if he thought of the list of people who rushed to Dongxun with Zhou Budo, there was only one Jinyi Wei, a thousand households.

Zhou Budo patted Li Shangyin's shoulder like an adult, and said comfortingly

"It's okay, it won't be long before the matter is over, I'll go back to the study and continue studying, and I'll be with you when the time comes, be happy."

Li Shangyin was happy again, and then stretched out his little thumb and said to Zhou Budo

"Then let's pull the hook."

Zhou Budo chuckled lightly and stretched out his little thumb.

The little fingers of the two are pulled together.

"After hanging himself for a hundred years, no one is allowed to change."

After saying this, Li Shangyin pretended to be fierce and added

"Whoever changes is a puppy."

Zhou Budo smiled and nodded, and after that, Li Shangyin knocked Qi Wuxian again, and finally his eyes stayed on Kumu for a while, then he looked back at Zhou Budo again and said to Zhou Budo

"Then I'll slip away first, if my father knows that I haven't gone to find the Taifu, I guess I'm going to beat me up, yes, no doubt, my mother said that when you return to Jinling, you must go to see her, and the mother said that she wants to cook for you personally, crooked, you must remember to come, my mother and concubine cook in person not much."

"Well, okay, then, send off His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince."

Hearing the honorific title in Zhou Budo's words, Li Shangyin pursed his lips, he didn't like Zhou Budo to call him so, but in this case, forget it, let's wait until the future to talk to Budo.

After Li Shangyin ran away, Zhou Budo's eyes dimmed for some reason, and he didn't know what he was thinking about now.

Kumu put one palm on Zhou Budo's shoulder and said softly to Zhou Budo

"The words of the five princes can be befriended, his mother concubine, and Mrs. have some good feelings, when Mrs. first entered Jinling, it was the mother of the five princes who helped Mrs. gain a firm foothold, otherwise, even if it is Mrs.'s means, it will inevitably encounter some ups and downs."

Zhou Budo sighed when he heard this, and turned around and threw himself into Kumu's arms.

Madame, Mother.

It's been a long time since I've seen my mother.

may also have thought of the mention of Mrs. caused Zhou Budo's mother's plot, Kumu's palm was gently placed on Zhou Budo's shoulder, he didn't know how to comfort people, but he felt that he was doing nothing like this now, which was enough for Zhou Budo.

Because Yang Xin was the person Zhou Dunyi had saved, he was also very concerned about the affairs of the palace, so he could see that His Royal Highness the Prince now remembered Queen Zhou, and Qi Wuxian was also like this.

So, the two stood silently in place, looking at Zhou Budo's eyes, and they also felt a little pity.

Such a ten-year-old child took on the dangerous task of going to the enemy country to spy on intelligence, and finally completed the mission and came back, but he thought of his mother who he hadn't seen for a long time.

He is really a little pitiful.

It's just that when Qi Wuxi, Yang Xin, and even Kumu thought that Zhou Budo would cry, Zhou Budo withdrew from Kumu's arms, turned to face Qi Wuxie, although his face was a little uncomfortable, but he took a deep breath and held back his tears, he had already seen him several times of life and death, and at this time he was also strong, and said with a smile on his face to Qi Wuxie half-jokingly

"Brother Qi, what are you stunned about, don't we still have to go to your majesty to report your life? What's the matter, do you guys want to see my jokes? Hey, no matter how you think about it, let's go, let's go. ”

Zhou Budo took the initiative to take Kumu's hand, and walked towards the Xuanshu Hall with Kumu.

And Yang Xin and Qi Wuxian glanced at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and could only follow.

When he arrived at the door of the Xuanshu Palace, Yang Xin stopped and said to the three of them

"Then I'll send it here, I have to go back to duty, His Royal Highness the Prince, Lao Qi, Bitter Sword Master, you go in directly, Your Majesty He has been informed, and now he is probably waiting for you in the palace."

With that, Yang Xin turned around and walked down the steps.

The three of them also immediately walked into the Xuanshu Palace, and under the leadership of a eunuch, they came to the emperor.

At this time, Emperor Li, who was lowering his head and reviewing the folds, did not realize the arrival of the three at all, or the father-in-law on the side reminded him, and the Emperor Li raised his head, and after seeing the three people, a smile suddenly hung on the corner of his mouth, and before the three of them knelt down to salute, the Emperor Li hurriedly smiled and said

"There's no need to salute, my father-in-law, give me a seat for the three heroes."

Father-in-law was also very happy at this time, so he quickly asked a few eunuchs to find three chairs and let the three of them sit down.

"Take a look, I'm probably tired all the way, the clothes are dirty like this, but I already know what you did for Nanli and for me in Dongxun, rest assured, I will never miss you with the reward I deserve, no doubt, how about it? Can you still adapt to this trip to Dongxun? ”

Emperor Lili said this kindly to the three of them, and also stretched his waist by the way, the mountains of folds in front of him, it is hard to imagine how long he has been sitting here to review the folds.

Zhou Budo replied respectfully, "I went to Dongxun, thanks to the help of these brothers beside me, otherwise, I would definitely delay the big event, adapt to it or not, and leave the south for me, and I am willing to do it." ”

Emperor Li smiled and said in an aggravated tone

"Good! is worthy of being Dunyi's son, with the demeanor of Dunyi, not bad, yes, by the way, why are the three of you here? What about the two of them? ”

Qi Wuxian humbly replied to leave the emperor's way

"Back to Your Majesty, the two of them have suffered some injuries and are now recuperating from their injuries, so it is inconvenient to come to see Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Emperor Li's hand waved, his face became serious, and he said

"Look at what you said, the two of them contributed to Nanli and were injured, do I still blame them for these trivial things? Father-in-law, go to the Tai Hospital and ask a Tai Doctor to see how the injuries of my two heroes are, and if there is anything needed, call from the Tai Hospital, without asking me. ”

"Obedience"

Gong Qiangong received the order, turned around and walked out of the Xuanshu Hall with a little eunuch.

Emperor Li's loving eyes looked at Zhou Budo for a long time before he spoke

"I see that you are also a little tired, presumably you are too tired along the way, today is the end of it, my three heroes will go down to rest today, in two days it will be the Great Dynasty Conference, I want to commend and reward you at the Great Court Conference, no doubt about it, such as the concubine She said that she wants you to try her craft, you kid don't forget."
