After Li Hanyan left, Emperor Jing sat on the dragon chair and gently raised his eyebrows, he was indeed old, his temples were covered with frost, and under the erosion of time, his face was already covered with wrinkles.

Mo Qi and I glanced at each other, and once again quietly retreated, until I left the main hall, I breathed a sigh of relief, and after knowing that Li Hanyan was fine, I actually felt a lot more relaxed. (Delusion, it must be an illusion.) ）

After leaving the palace, the two of us went to a tavern that had not yet closed and sat down, ordered two jars of old wine and some snacks, and then set up.

After three rounds of drinking, the two began to chat, and I asked casually, "Do you think that the holy decree was contracted by Li Hanyan?" ”

Mo Qi nodded: "There is indeed this possibility, otherwise he would not have been so calm and calm at the beginning." ”

"Then does Prime Minister Zuo really want to seek to usurp the throne?"

"Whether it's true or not, I don't know." Mo Ran smiled, poured a large bowl of wine for himself, and drank it before he spoke again: "Anyway, I am a part-time worker for the crown prince, and I don't want to participate in their battle for imperial power, so why bother to know so much?" ”

"It's also said that that kind of open and secret fighting is the most troublesome, and I don't want to be involved. Then let's not talk about this, drink, have a good drink! As he spoke, I directly took the wine jar and Mo Qi to clink glasses.

"By the way, didn't you say that you were going to find an old friend to create a set of knife techniques for me? How's it going? I held a toothpick in my mouth and looked at him urgently, and the thought of getting a set of my own knife skills right away made me feel uncontrollably excited.

"Uh... What is this......" As soon as Mo Qi heard my words about chatting four, he immediately fell into disarray, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

I was in a hurry, this guy couldn't be playing tricks on me, right?! I smacked the toothpick in my mouth to the side, stared at him with an unkind gaze, and clicked my finger bones at the same time: "Why don't you speak, do you just want to cheat money out of the bar?" ”

"How can a teacher be that kind of person, it's just ...... Just ......"

"Just what, you say, they won't come if they don't have enough money? Or what's the reason, you say! ”

"Oops! My old friends, one of them is traveling the world, and they can't find a trace at all, and the other ......" Speaking of this, Mo Qi suddenly poured several large sips of wine.

It is said that wine is strong and intimidating, this guy drank half of the wine in the wine jar before he spoke again, and said: "The other is the head of Baihua Valley, her martial arts are not under me, and she is fluent in swordsmanship, if she is willing to teach you, it will be easy to do, but the problem is that I have a little holiday with her, and I am embarrassed to speak." ”

"If there is a festival that can't be solved, you just ask her out to have a good chat, maybe a bowl of wine will turn into a jade silk, no matter how bad it is, you will apologize to others, and she may forgive you, women, they are all very coaxing."

Mo Qi shook his head and sighed lightly, "Hey...... You don't understand, it's all a romantic debt owed by the teacher back then, if it can be solved so easily, then I won't come all the way to Chang'an to work for the prince. ”

Merry Debt ...... Those festivals are a bit of a puzzle.

I thought about it, Mo Qi is also a good person to me, if I can help him untie the festival between him and the head of Baihua Valley, not only can he return a favor, but also get a set of strong knife skills, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, I smiled and said, "Why don't I go for you, apprentice?" ”

"Can you do it?" Mo Qi looked at him suspiciously.

I glared at him back, "How do you know if you don't try?" It's naturally best to be able to untie it, and if you can't untie it, there's no way, do you still want to hide from her for the rest of your life? ”

"This ......" Mo Qi thought for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed to let me give it a try, turned his head to ask the tavern owner for a brush and white paper, and drew the route from Chang'an to Baihua Valley.

I took the road map, rolled my eyes, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go, what if Li Hanyan asks?" ”

Mo Qi shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "What else can I do, I will help you carry it down for the teacher first." ”

"Hehe, with Master's words, I will rest assured that my apprentice, drink, and I will leave for the Valley of Hundred Flowers at dawn and bring my master back!" I swore and patted my chest.

The two of them tossed and exchanged glasses in the tavern until the sky was slightly bright, and the city gate was opened, and then they got into the carriage and set off.

There was a day's journey from Chang'an to Baihua Valley, and because I was drunk last night, I spent the day sleeping.

"Girl... Girl...... It's time to reach your destination. ”

When the coachman woke me up, it was already early the next morning, and when I got out of the carriage, the first thing I saw was a city comparable to Chang'an City.

It is very majestic and covers an extremely large area. The city wall is like the Great Wall, continuous and horizontal.

The city is very prosperous, looking at the endless flow of people on the street, the bustling flow of people, suddenly sighed a lot, when I was in Chang'an, I was restricted by Li Hanyan, I couldn't have a good time, and now I can finally have a good time! (Hurray!!) ）

"Golden silk honey cake, fragrant and sweet!"

"Crispy fried chicken, no money if it's not delicious!"

"Meat buns, freshly baked meat buns!"

…………

All kinds of cries are endless, for me, a foodie, it is simply heaven, but I go out in a hurry, I don't even have a little silver on my body, I can only look at it and can't eat it, it's like torture, it's too tormenting.

Further on, at the corner of the street, there are all kinds of jugglers, like some kind of oil pot with a soup spoon and a big stone on the chest...... And so on, all kinds of things, everything, surrounded by a lot of adults and children.

In the shops on both sides of the street, enthusiastic guys are soliciting customers, and all kinds of nice words can be said in a dazzling way.

It was only then that I fully understood the old saying "you can't move an inch without money". When I was in Chang'an, I lived in the prince's mansion, and I didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, so what silver and gold were a pile of broken copper and iron, and now I was penniless, and even eating a bun was a luxury, and this gap was too big.

"Forget it, let's get down to business first." I comforted myself, the top priority is to go to the Valley of Hundred Flowers first, to find Shi Niang, once the festival between her and Mo Qi is resolved, are you afraid that you will have no money to spend?

After many inquiries, I went around and around along the way, and finally came to the boundary of Baihua Valley.

This valley of flowers is surrounded by a high mountain, shrouded in clouds and mist, looking at it from a distance, it looks very ethereal, like a pure land outside the world.

Coming to the front of the mountain gate, you immediately feel a natural and peaceful atmosphere, although it is autumn now, but here is not affected by the climate, the peaks and valleys are verdant, the flowing springs and waterfalls, the grass and trees are lush, and the birds and beasts inhabit...... It made me feel like I was back in the fairy world.

It was only then that I noticed that on the left side of the mountain gate, there was a strange beast guarding here, with a bull body and a dragon head, with a body up to eight meters long, lying in a clear pool, and a pair of eyes like copper bells were looking at me vigilantly.

"Stop! Who are you, and what are you doing in our Valley of Hundred Flowers? "At this time, the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Valley guarding the mountain gate also discovered me.

"On the orders of the family teacher, I came to visit the head of Daohan." I cleared my throat and responded with the words that Moqi had taught me before leaving.

Hearing me say this, the emotions of the disciples of Baihua Valley who guarded the mountain gate eased a lot, but they didn't let down their vigilance, let me go in rashly, and then after taking stock, they let people go in to report.

"Who is your teacher?"

I smiled and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to disclose it, before leaving, the family teacher specially instructed not to mention his name in front of others at will, and after the head of your sect saw me, he naturally knew." ”

Seeing that the gods I said were mysterious and secretive, and the three of them couldn't do without the head of their family, several disciples of Baihua Valley had begun to be skeptical.

"Zhimo?! Is it really you? At this moment, a crisp voice came, and when I looked up, I saw a girl in a light-colored dress standing in front of me.

I was stunned, uh...... Who is this man? She was calling Xue Zhimo's name just now?! Lie down! Shouldn't this person be Xue Zhimo's childhood sweetheart again? How can you still meet it when you run here?!

Just when I was losing my mind, the girl had already stepped forward and grabbed my arm, with an excited smile on her face, and said, "Zhimo, I thought I was wrong just now, but I didn't expect it to be really you, how long have we not seen each other?" Did you come to me specifically this time? ”

Oh no, it's this embarrassing confession again, if Xue Zhimo was present now, what would she say to this old friend who hasn't seen her for many years?

Forget it, I'll have to bite the bullet and use it in my own way! I grinned, punched her with a smile, and said, "Haha, I'm here to find the head of Baihua Valley, and by the way, come over to see how you're doing, whether you are fat or thin, have you been bullied?" ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to become so lively and cheerful." ”

"You can't just wrinkle your face every day, can you? That's ugly. Speaking of this, I hooked her shoulder again, and joked with a smile: "It seems that you are mixing well here, is it up to you to be the next valley master?" ”

When the girl heard this, she showed a wry smile: "I, I'm ordinary, I'm just here to mess around, and I don't get very treated on weekdays......"

I frowned slightly, it seems that Zhimo's friend is not doing very well in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, looking at her expression, it is obvious that she is not less troubled by her brothers and sisters on weekdays.

There was a burst of emotion in my heart, in the prince's mansion, Li Hanyan bullied me, Grandma Wang made things difficult for me, and even those good women regarded me as a thorn in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to get rid of me quickly.

"Don't talk about that, I'll take you in first." The girl smiled again, and pulled me into the Valley of Hundred Flowers, which was very magnificent, with verdant mountains like green jade, with a little brilliance, and a fairy mist lingering, and a waterfall falling down, flying down three thousand feet, as if condensed by silver light.

On the top of many misty peaks, you can vaguely see some palaces and towers, which are very ethereal, and indeed have some charm of the fairy world.

What surprised me even more was that among those mountains, there was a snow-covered snow-capped mountain with a white body, standing there.
