This month, Ye Xun was on duty in Taichang Temple, although things were trivial but quite relaxed, and he got off work regularly every day.

When I got up this morning, Ye Xun sat on the bed in a daze, Ruolian was already busy preparing breakfast, and the washing water was brought into the house. "Hurry up. After breakfast, I have to go to the court! You should move, I'm going to fold the quilt. ”

Ye Xun stretched his waist, and then bared his teeth and pounded his waist, "Ah, it hurts!" Back pain. ”

Ruolian smiled shyly at him, "That's all you can do?" When you have a lot of wives in the future, see how you deal with it! ”

"You're laughing at me?" Ye Xun grabbed her and held her in his arms.

"Stop making a fuss." Ruolian hurriedly begged for mercy. "I was wrong. Today I'm going to make you something delicious. ”

Ye Xun let go of her and dressed unhurriedly, "No wonder people say that there are only tired cows, not ploughed fields." See how energetic you are? ”

"In the future, you can take it easy, don't break your body. Once at night is fine, too much is useless. ”

Ye Xun smiled and nodded, and he asked while washing his face, "Have the two palace maids sent them back?" ”

"Sent back. I told the Queen Mother that it would not be too late for them to come over with the princess. ”

"You have to have faith."

Ruolian said worriedly, "In two days, it will be the day of my menstrual affairs, and whether I am pregnant this month will soon know." ”

"Don't worry too much, it's just that I didn't get pregnant this month, and there will be next month."

The emperor invited the generals to a banquet, and Ye Xun was also notified to join the ranks. Ye Xun is now in Taichang Temple, so his status in a group of military attaches is a little embarrassing, so he is silently eating and drinking in the corner alone. Suddenly, someone said, "The Marquis of Qingyuan has arrived!" "I saw a tall man of about fifty years old walking from outside. Behind him was a vast group of men, in addition to the guards and a few of his men. This person is the majestic and powerful 'prince and marquis' Zhu Jinrong. Ye Xun found that his master Ji Yunhai was also following him? Ye Xun was a little surprised, it is true that the master is in the jurisdiction of the 'prince and marquis', but the master's grade is not high, and many times he cannot appear on such occasions, what is the purpose of the 'prince and marquis' bringing him here today?

Ye Xun was thinking about it, Ji Yunhai saw Ye Xun and smiled at him. Ye Xun hurriedly nodded and smiled at him, and said to him with his mouth, "Master, you drink less today." ”

Ji Yunhai comprehended and nodded honestly.

'Lord Wang' sat down in a seat in front of him, and while he was drinking, he stared at Ye Xun in the corner with interest. After a while, he shouted at Ye Xun, "Ye Xun, I heard that you are now working as a contemplator in Taichang Temple?" "The two of them are not close, but the 'prince and marquis' are full of energy, and the voice is loud, and the whole audience can hear it clearly.

Ye Xun nodded politely, "Exactly." ”

"What's so good about that ** place in Taichang Temple?" Qingyuan Hou smiled vulgarly.

Ye Xun just had a cold expression and didn't answer.

"The person above, I heard that you followed you when you were the prefect?" Marquis Qingyuan glanced at Wen Du beside the emperor with his eyes, and said with a mocking smile.

"There's no one who follows whom, it's just that colleagues are officials."

"No need to pretend. We all know that he used to be your dog, and now he is the emperor. ”

Ye Xun didn't speak with a gloomy face.

The emperor also frequently raised his glass to the hard-working generals present, and let the officials drink to their heart's content. For a while, it was staggered, and it was not lively. After three rounds of drinking, these martial artists began to sit still, rubbing each other to compete in martial arts and swords......

Qingyuan Hou couldn't help but itch when he looked at it, "Ben Hou also wants to find someone to talk to." Is there anyone willing to accompany you? ”

As soon as the words of 'Wang Yehou' came out, he was suddenly silent.

A respected old general said, "Master Hou, you are born with divine power, who is your opponent in this Manchu Dynasty?" You can sit here and point out to the juniors. ”

"Oh, after eating too much wine and meat, I want to move my muscles and bones. Why don't you take my old man to play? He looked at Ye Xun, "General Fan said that no one in this Manchu dynasty dares to discuss with Ben Hou, and this is not true!" A few years ago, there was a young descendant, who named him and compared him with Ben Hou. Everyone knew that he was talking about Ye Xun, but Ye Xun drank and ate food by himself as if he hadn't heard it.

Seeing that no one responded to him, Qingyuan Hou was a little angry, and he turned to Ji Yunhai, "Old Ji, your apprentice doesn't fight." Why don't you accompany Ben Hou for two tricks? ”

Ji Yunhai, who was flushed from drinking, waved his hand again and again as if he was startled, "Master Hou said it was funny!" With just my little effort, how can I make Hou Ye happy. The subordinates will not go up and be ashamed. ”

Qingyuan Hou smiled sarcastically, "It's strange, you Ji Yunhai, your martial arts are mediocre, and the apprentices you teach are really good!" ”

"Where I taught him, he taught me when he was not yet thirteen." Ji Yunhai smiled flatteringly.

Qingyuan Hou looked at Ye Xun and became angry, and the people next to him began to talk about Ye Xun, but everyone present could hear the loud voice, "He used to be a stunned young man, although he looked like he didn't live long, but I really like the energy on his body." I'm still wondering, how could Ye Shiqing's old dog give birth to a tiger? Look at his cowardice now, he frowns like an angry little daughter-in-law every day, no, like a turtle with a shrunken head! It's exactly the same as Ye Shiqing's old horseman! I heard that a few days ago, he made his mother-in-law scratch her face? Hou Ye pursed his lips disdainfully, "It's really a shame for a man in the world!" ”

Ye Xun knew that everyone was peeking at him, and he chewed slowly as if he hadn't heard it, only when he mentioned his father, his face changed slightly.

Even the emperor couldn't stand it anymore, and interrupted the Marquis of Qingyuan, "Marquis Qingyuan is the minister of our Ming Dynasty, and I rely on it very much. How can he not be entertained tonight? Which Aiqing is willing to practice for me? ”

The emperor has spoken, but still no one has spoken out and dared to come out to fight.

A smug look appeared on the face of the Marquis of Qingyuan, "Your Majesty, it's not that Benhou said you, your vision is still much worse than your grandfather's." ”

A trace of gloom appeared on the emperor's face.

A little general couldn't stand it, stood up and retorted, "Master Hou, this is wrong. Heavy in troubled times, heavy in prosperous times. In today's peaceful and prosperous times, good ministers are the first choice. Even if you lead troops to fight, what is the use of being brave alone? There are tens of thousands of enemies, can you do it on your own? No matter how brave you are, can you withstand the attack of guns and cannons? You don't have to be a strategist. ”

The Marquis of Qingyuan sneered and said, "General Zhang, is this a wedge between me and the emperor's ministers?" Ben Hou is just a casual joke, but you hold on to it? What is your heart? ”

The emperor looked at the two of them and said, "General Zhang, I understand your loyalty. But Hou Ye didn't mean that. Sit down and drink more tonight. ”

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are willing to accompany the Hou Ye through two moves." Wen Du suddenly hugged his fist to the emperor and said.

The emperor nodded, but his eyes didn't leave Ye Xun, "You go." ”

Qingyuan Hou looked at Wen Du and smiled disdainfully, "Shen Wendu, right?" Have you talked to Ye Xun before? ”

Wen Du waved to the Marquis of Qingyuan, ignoring his words, "Please advise the Marquis." ”

"What weapons are you good at?"

"Back to the Hou Ye, I am better at using swords."

"Oh?" Qingyuan Hou turned his face to look at Ye Xun, "Same as Ye Xun?" It can't be his apprentice, right? It's okay to do this, and the apprentice fights on behalf of the master. ”

Wendu looked at Ye Xun and didn't know how to answer.

Ye Xun, who had been silent, suddenly said, "I have confiscated the apprentice!" ”

Wen Du said, "I am the ninth generation descendant of the 'Shen Family Sword', and it has nothing to do with Lord Ye's sword. ”

The emperor sat on it and gritted his teeth in anger, eager to throw the plates and bowls in front of him in Ye Xun's face! When others scold you, you pretend to be deaf and dumb, so you just keep pretending. And now another sentence pops up? What's wrong? Is this to dissociate itself from us? Afraid that Wendu will embarrass you?

"Okay." Qingyuan Hou smiled, "If you use a sword, I will use a knife." The sword has no eyes, hurting you, Ben Hou is not responsible. ”

Wendu nodded.

"Master Hou, just have a discussion, let's stop it." The emperor admonished.

Qingyuan Hou smiled, "Okay! Let's go! ”

Wen Du put on a posture and swung his sword to stab at the Marquis of Qingyuan. The Marquis of Qingyuan picked up the knife and immediately judged the two of them with the lazy old man just now. I saw that his eyes were blazing and he was full of energy. In the face of Wen Du's rapid and fierce attack, he just didn't hurry to block with his knife, and Wen Du was shocked to pop out a few feet away with his sword. Wen Du felt his arms go numb. He comprehended the strength of the Marquis of Qingyuan, and did not dare to confront him head-on, only dodging left and right, looking for an opportunity to attack. But the Marquis of Qingyuan's knife was getting faster and faster, and it was becoming more and more difficult for Wendu to parry, so he retreated again and again, and shook it several times, making a fake attack, so that the Marquis of Qingyuan could reveal his flaws in order to launch a more effective attack. But the Marquis of Qingyuan not only attacked fiercely, but also defended impenetrable......

Everyone held their breath and nervously watched the two men confront. The emperor also clenched his fists tightly, and his palms were sweaty. Only Ye Xun lowered his eyelids, taking a sip of wine and eating a bite of food as if no one was around. But in fact, through his afterglow and listening to the voice, he had already concluded that Wen Du would soon be defeated. Therefore, he quickly took a few bites of food, and then told the eunuch next to him that he wanted to go to the toilet, so he slipped away.

Sure enough, the Marquis of Qingyuan had murderous aura in his eyes, and when he swung his knife at Wen Du, Wen Du couldn't dodge, so he had to use his sword to block it. The sword was blown away with a "dang" sound. But the offensive of the knife has not weakened. In order not to be cut by the knife, Wendu kept retreating, leaning back, and his hands touched the ground...... At the last moment, the emperor shouted, "Master Hou!" Don't hurt him! ”

When Hou Ye heard this, he hurriedly withdrew the attack, but because it was too late, the blade still slashed into Wen Du's shoulder. Fortunately, because it was only a skin wound in time, or his entire arm would have been cut off. Wen Du sat on the ground with one hand on his shoulder.

Qingyuan Hou looked at him and smiled, "I'm older, and this knife is not so obedient." Does it hurt badly? ”

The emperor said with a calm face, "Wendu, hurry up and thank Master Hou for not killing." ”

Wen Du stood up and clenched his fists, "It's not as good as people in terms of skills." Thank you, Lord Hou......"

Qingyuan Hou interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Thank you for it. The young man's courage is commendable, but his skills are still a little worse, and he still can't compare with Ye Xun. ”

After he mentioned it, everyone looked in the direction of Ye Xun and found that he had long since disappeared.

The emperor waved his hand at Xingwang beside him, Xingwang bowed down and leaned his ear over, and the emperor whispered to him, "Go and see where Ye Xun went?" Find a few more people to watch him and don't let him run! ”

When Xingwang returned to his life, the banquet had already dispersed. The emperor was discussing something with Wen Du in a whisper. Seeing that the Xingwang Emperor was a little impatient and said, "Why did you come back?" What about people? ”

Xingwang's face was embarrassed, "Back to the emperor, I didn't find Lord Ye." ”

"What? Ran away? ”

"Probably not. Listening to the little eunuch on duty, Lord Ye drank a little too much, and he staggered when he came out to go to the toilet. I wonder if I fell asleep somewhere. How many more people will the minions send to look for them? ”

The emperor stared at Xingwang, as if he could see through his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, "You can cover it up for him!" Where did he fall asleep after drinking too much? Who believes it? It must have been a bad situation and escaped! Today counts him as having escaped, and I will remember it for him. When the time comes, the new account and the old account will be counted together! You go down first. "Prosperous Nono stepped back.

The emperor sneered at Wen Du, "Let's see if this kid is not stupid, right?" Escaped? If he is here at this moment, this fire in my heart is just sprinkled on him, alas, it is too much today! ”

"Humble and incompetent." Wen Du lowered his head in shame.

"You don't have to blame yourself too much. Originally, I just wanted to try him. Looks like we should think long-term. ”

"The humble position really underestimated the Marquis of Qingyuan, he is not only powerful, but also very flexible. A knife that is flawless. ”

The emperor smiled bitterly, "The first samurai of the dynasty is worthy of his name, right?" I've been so painfully pressed by him all these years! The emperor thought for a moment, "I feel that the court can compete with him." ”

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about... Ye Xun? ”

The emperor nodded, "At that time, Ye Xun was just eighteen, and he once yelled at him because of the Marquis of Qingyuan's disrespectful words to me. At that time, Ye Xun was very arrogant, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Although the emperor said this, he had a smile on his face. Maybe the Marquis of Qingyuan was suppressed by his momentum, afraid that if he lost to a descendant, he would not be able to get off the stage. Ye Xun provoked him so much, he didn't make a move, and later asked a master next to him to make a move with Ye Xun. ”

"Who won?"

"Of course it's Ye Xun!" The emperor's tone was full of pride, "There is no suspense in winning." Afterwards, I asked him, if Hou Ye really fights with you, are you sure that you will win? He is the first samurai of the dynasty, and he is born with divine powers, right? Do you know what he says? ”

"How?" Wendu asked curiously.

"He looked dismissive and said, 'I can beat him all over the ground in twenty moves!' ”

"What a big breath!"

"You've played tricks with Master Hou, you know his strength, right? Ye Xun was so ashamed to speak out in the past. There is nothing he would not dare! But now...... Alas! The emperor restrained his smile and sighed. You saw it all, it was Qingyuanhou's turn to provoke him, and he couldn't bear it. Don't say anything else, Hou Ye said that his words really spoke to my heart, he is now an angry little girl! A shrunken turtle! Wait for a month or two to see how I clean him up! ”

"Why are these two months coming?" As soon as the words came out, Wen Du consciously lost his words and hurriedly lowered his head.

The emperor glanced at him, "What?" Can't wait to clean him up? Not yet. The Queen Mother agreed with Ye Pan's last month to give them a three-month period, and if they didn't conceive a child in three months, Jinglin would marry into their family. It's not been a month. Maybe he'll become my brother-in-law, so let's wait. ”

Wen Du's expression was a little complicated, "The emperor is really patient, he has touched the wall so many times, and he still doesn't give up." ”

The emperor smiled meaningfully, "You don't have to provoke." I was indeed disgraced by him. But who wants me to have such a dead-eyed sister? If our face can be exchanged for Jinglin's happiness, then I will admit it. ”
