After returning from the Taishi Mansion, Mu Qiuhuang felt unprecedentedly relaxed, and originally planned to take a good bath and then sleep beautifully, but the bathing facilities in the inn were really outrageous, not to mention that it was compared with Mu Qiuhuang's Liquan, and even the ordinary bathhouse in Beiyu was compared, because it was indeed a big wooden barrel, let alone lying flat, even if you sat in it, you couldn't fully stretch your legs...... In this way, the prince of Beiyu, who couldn't get out of the bath for an hour, only took a short cup of tea to finish washing hastily.

I was going to look for Wuxin to drink tea, but I was told by my subordinates that Wuxin also left the inn shortly after he left the inn this morning, leaving a message that he was going to the temple outside Fengling City to exchange Buddhism. "That's it... That's it, who let himself say that when the Qingya Dao people left, the gambling contract was invalidated and the little monk was free? Mu Qiuhuang, who had eaten a closed door, muttered about his impulse at that time, but when it came to Qingya Daoren, he really missed it a little, and he didn't know where the little Taoist priest who rode a donkey was now? How did one person and one donkey travel through the rivers and lakes? ……

Su Xiaoxiao saw that Mu Qiuhuang was a little lost, so she volunteered to talk to Mu Qiuhuang about a game. Mu Qiuhuang, who had seen Su Xiaoxiao's chess skills in the Liujing River, originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought that it was a beauty to accompany him with red sleeves, he agreed, but who knew that reality was always different from imagination. Not to mention this little chess skill, even the chess products are not good? Not only did Luozi have to think about it for a long time, but she always regretted it frequently, and finally finished a game of resting Mu Qiuhuang, who was going to stop, and she had no choice but to play a few games under Su Xiaoxiao's expectant eyes...... And the final result was that Mu Qiuhuang never touched Go again for many years to come. However, there is also an advantage to playing against Su Xiaoxiao, that is, it can always successfully arouse Mu Qiuhuang's sleepiness, and finally yawned and accompanied Su Xiaoxiao to finish four rounds, and after sending Su Xiaoxiao out of the room, Mu Qiuhuang was completely surrounded by his sleepiness, and after throwing himself in the shape of "big" on the inn bed, Mu Qiuhuang fell asleep deeply...... By the time I woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

Mu Qiuhuang slept for six hours this night, which was the most solid sleep Mu Qiuhuang had in the past few months, but this sleep always completely nourished Mu Qiuhuang's spirit. Mu Qiuhuang immersed his entire face in the wooden basin, and awakened the cells of his whole body under the stimulation of the cold water temperature...... After washing, Mu Qiuhuang had a good meal in the inn. After sleeping and eating, Mu Qiuhuang only felt full of energy, and he couldn't wait to go to the courtyard to dance a set of knife techniques, but when he thought that he still needed to hide his true situation, Mu Qiuhuang had to suppress this thought. I stayed in the room alone and meditated for two hours, not to mention, referring to the mental method of "Chaos Wuji Gong" that Zhang Fuling gave at the beginning, plus the trace of Taoist Zhenyuan left by Zhang Fuling, now the true yuan in Mu Qiuhuang's qi sea has become a lot fuller, although it is still not as good as his peak, but it has recovered almost more than fifty percent, and the Taoist Zhenyuan is much purer than his own true yuan...... Although Mu Qiuhuang has not really played the sword and danced the sword now, in his heart, he has practiced the "Heavenly Sword Nine Styles" of the Nine Emperors of the Sword countless times, and he has also reviewed Gu Chenyuan's "Eight Desolation Sword Sutra", although he gave the Sword Sutra to Dong Xue at the beginning, but he has already remembered those sword moves in his heart.

……

Mu Qiuhuang ate dinner with everyone, although he didn't want to come back at dinner time, but Mu Qiuhuang was already surprised by this...... After dinner, Su Xiaoxiao came to Mu Qiuhuang's room, when Mu Qiuhuang thought that she was coming to play against herself again and was about to find an excuse to pee, but saw that Su Xiaoxiao had something to say to herself.

……

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao brought a stack of thick files, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but have a big head, and directly gave up the idea of reading by himself, anyway, these files were also collected by Huang Ling, and Su Xiaoxiao had also read them all, and there was no secret for Su Xiaoxiao, so Mu Qiuhuang said to Su Xiaoxiao: "You can directly pick up important things and tell me about them." ”

"Okay."

Su Xiaoxiao replied and said softly: "Now the children of the major princes have all gathered in Fengling City. Liu Sigongzi sent a message, saying that he wanted to meet with Gongzi as soon as possible, and the time and place were decided by Gongzi's side, but he hoped that this meeting would be held in secret. ”

"Haha...... This Liu Yiyong, who does not fight or grab, finally began to slowly show his ambitions, which is finally right to yin Liu Bagongzi and the scene played by Liu Dagongzi's side. Mu Qiuhuang laughed and said: "Okay, it's time to meet this Fourth Prince Liu, you can decide the specific time and place, and notify me when the time comes." ”

"Yes." Su Xiaoxiao answered, took out a letter from the stack of files, handed it to Mu Qiuhuang and said: "This is a letter from Miss Dongxue, or the son himself will read it!"

"A letter from Dongxue?" Mu Qiuhuang took the letter and said uncertainly.

"Yes."

"Could it be that Mr. has news?" Mu Qiuhuang opened the envelope with anticipation.

After reading the letter, Mu Qiuhuang's face was also filled with a real smile, and he laughed and said: "It turns out that Mr. really has news, Mr. is really worthy of being Mr." ”

At this time, although Dong Xue said in the letter that she did not find Gu Chenyuan, there was news that at least one thing proved that Gu Chenyuan was safe, that is, Gu Chenyuan was safe and sound, and Mu Qiuhuang was already very satisfied when she learned that Gu Chenyuan was safe and sound.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't speak for a long time, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help asking, "Is there anything else important?" ”

"Not yet."

"Okay, let Huang Ling continue to pay attention to the movements of the other princes' children, and report any abnormalities at any time. However, we must be careful not to let them reveal their identities......" Mu Qiuhuang commanded.

"Yes, Xiaoxiao will go and arrange it."

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao left, he saw Ling Hu coming over in a dusty manner, and he was also holding some posts in his hand.

"Young master, please send a note from the Taishi Mansion, please go to the banquet at noon the day after tomorrow." Ling Hu Ji took out a copy and handed it to Mu Qiuhuang and said.

"Didn't you just go to pay a visit, why did you let me go again?" Mu Qiuhuang muttered in his heart and opened the invitation, and when he saw that it was Situ Luqi, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Seeing this, Ling Hu Yu hurriedly explained: "This Situ Luqi is Situ Buqi's only daughter. ”

"I see." Mu Qiuhuang nodded and said with a strange face: "Now I still have to honor the Taishi Mansion in Kyoto, so it's not good to appease Miss Situ's interest, but this is ...... She wants to hold a poetry party in the house? You let me talk about piano music and still have a hard try, compose poetry? Do we have any poetry in Beiyu? ”

Hearing this, Ling Hu Jian also frowned and racked his brains, and after a long time, he said helplessly: "It seems that there is really none." ”

It is strange to say that among the fiefs of various princes, if it is about economic strength and military strength...... The name of Beiyu is well-known, and the martial arts masters have also made a lot of ...... But only about this kind of poetry, recitation, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, there is no one who can stand alone, but Xuanping, Haihun, and other fiefdoms whose strength is not comparable to Beiyu have emerged...... Maybe this is the answer to the old saying "the ruler is long, the inch is short", right?

"Okay, anyway, it's just a formality, and there's no need to compete with others, you go and reply to Miss Situ for me, saying that I will definitely attend on time at that time." Mu Qiuhuang instructed Ling Huji, but he thought in his heart that it would be better to let Su Xiaoxiao help him pick a gift for the little girl named Situ or something.

Ling Huyu continued to hand the remaining two invitations to Mu Qiuhuang and said, "These two letters, one is a worship sticker, and the other is an invitation sticker. ”

"Oh, who worships? Who invites? Mu Qiuhuang asked.

"Bai Tie, it was sent by the third prince of the Xuanping Hou family, Ram Tian, saying that he admired the prince......"

"As for the invitation sticker, it was sent by Ji Yantuo, the prince of Xiliehou Mansion, and invited the prince to go to Tianxiangju for dinner seven days later, but it was ...... The last general inquired, and in addition to sending an invitation to the prince, he also invited the children of other princes. ”

"Is the prince Ji Yan?" Mu Qiuhuang muttered to himself, falling into thought.

Since he knew that his fiancée was the eldest lady of Xiliehou Mansion, Mu Qiuhuang paid more attention to Xiliehou Mansion, and naturally knew that this Ji Yan was the brother of Ji Ruoxue's mother, that is, his future eldest brother...... In addition to the fact that Mu Qiuhuang paid more attention to this relationship, another reason was due to Su Xiaoxiao's evaluation of Ji Yan that day, Su Xiaoxiao once said that Ji Yan, the son of Xilie, Yunwen Yunwu, should be the best among the princes and princes collected by Huang Ling...... Say that no one can compete with you but yourself? …… Mu Qiuhuang noticed that the sentence of Su Xiaoxin was added temporarily, which means that he may not be as good as this Ji Yan? Although Mu Qiuhuang was a little unhappy in his heart, Mu Qiuhuang also had to admit that this Ji Yan was not weaker than himself.

In terms of identity, one is the eldest son of Beiyu and the other is the eldest son of Xilie, and both of them were made sons since childhood, so the two are comparable. Talking about others, Mu Qiuhuang's martial arts master is the Sword Nine Emperor, who is ranked first among the top ten masters, although Gu Chenyuan, the sword immortal, has also been with him for decades, but Gu Chenyuan has not taught Mu Qiuhuang cultivation, but only sent a sword scripture before parting, and taught some sword intent...... But Ji Yan's master has always been one of the Dao Sword Immortals, Ou Yezi, one of the Four Great Sword Immortals, and from the battle between the Nine Emperors of the Sword and the Trick Sword Immortal at that time, it can be confirmed that the Sword Immortal is indeed much stronger than the top ten masters...... But fortunately, now Mu Qiuhuang has almost practiced the stunts of the Nine Emperors of the Sword, Gu Chenyuan, and Zhang Fuling at the same time, as for which one is weak and which is stronger in the future, it will not be known until later. Even if these two points are compared to a tie, there is another point that Ji Yan is stronger than Mu Qiuhuang. That is, Ji Yan does not have any competitors in the Xiliehou Mansion, although Xiliehou still has sons born to several concubines, but those sons cannot compare with Ji Yan in terms of prestige or others...... But Mu Qiuhuang is different, his younger brother Mu Qiulin has a very good reputation in the hearts of the people, and his matriarchal identity and his own wisdom are all first-class, although Mu Qiuhuang's identity as a son has long been determined by Mu Qingen, but ...... Some things still have too much variability.

……

Mu Qiuhuang held a post in one hand and checked it up and down, looked at Ling Huyu and said with a smile: "One wants to come to me to visit me? One directly invited me to him? …… It's kind of interesting, which one do you think I should see first? ”

Hearing this, Ling Hu Yu scratched his big bald head, and said with a smile: "Ji Yan's identity and the young master want to be, this person named Situ Tian is not ranked in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion......"

"You mean to let me see Ji Yan first?" Mu Qiuhuang smacked his lips and said, "But he didn't just invite me?" ”

Seeing this, Ling Hu Ji sneered: "It's better for the young master to decide for himself!" You let me Linghu charge, I Linghu will definitely do it, but you let me Linghu analyze these, it's really not my strength? ”

Mu Qiuhuang glanced at Ling Hujie with a smile when he heard this, and ordered, "Then let's see each other together!" Didn't you say that Ji Yan invited all the princes? Well, this one is called a ram... Yes, Ram Tianzhu, he must be among them, you reply to Ram Tianzhu for me, just say that I am occasionally cold and not suitable to see guests in these two days...... Wait for seven days to arrive at Tianxiangju and then talk to him about wine. ”

"Yes." Ling Hu Ji responded.

……

By the time everything was arranged, it was already the middle of the night.

Mu Qiuhuang Suoxing went directly into the quilt, no longer thinking about these trivial things, his fingers subconsciously swiped over the smooth silk quilt surface, and soon fell asleep.
