Chapter 13: A Visit to Qingxiao

Counting the days, Xiaoyi Musheng has been back for more than three days.

These days, Xiaoyi, who has rarely appeared in the past, has been instructing his disciples to practice martial arts with Chen Yi.

Although the disciples were very puzzled in their hearts, they were much more diligent and diligent in their actions than in the past, after all, there were only a handful of opportunities to see the master on weekdays, and if they could win the favor of the master at this time, maybe they could be included in the door like Mu Sheng, even if they could get a little bit of his true inheritance, it would be a qualitative leap now.

"Be serious, there may be a big war waiting for you in the near future! Now don't work hard, wait until you get out of the school, but no one can help you. Chen Yi walked through the crowd, constantly instructing.

"The big war? Uncle Shi, are we going to duel with other sects!? The youngest Xu Ling stopped his movements and asked innocently.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't stop laughing.

"Xu Ling, even if there is a big war, it will be impossible for Master and Uncle to let you participate."

"Yes, you are so small, on the field, can you hold a steady sword?"

Facing the ridicule of the senior brothers, Xu Ling suddenly turned red, and said angrily: "What if you are young, you don't look down on people!" ”

"Okay, how can you, as senior brothers, tease fellow disciples like this? To be my contemptuous child, we must be kind-hearted, listen carefully to teaching, help the weak, and must not be arrogant, complacent, and despise others. Xiaoyi walked down the observation deck, his expression was serious, everyone held their breath, and the atmosphere was much more solemn.

"Master, the disciple knows that he is wrong." The two of them immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Xiaoyi.

"Apologize to my junior brother." Xiao Yi said sternly.

The two turned to Xu Ling, and said in a low tone, "Senior brother, I'm sorry. ”

"Master, don't blame the senior brothers, the senior brother is right, I am young, if I really go to the battlefield, not only will I not be able to help, but I may also affect the senior brothers." Xu Ling couldn't bear the two of them being scolded for themselves, and defended the two regardless of their previous suspicions.

Xiaoyi noticed his dim eyes, approached and stroked his shoulder, and said with a pleasant face: "Didn't Master say that when Xu Ling is older, he will follow Master to cultivate?" Could it be that Xu Ling has no confidence in himself? ”

As soon as he heard this, Xu Ling, who had been lost, suddenly regained his hope, and looked at Xiaoyi with expectant eyes, "Xu Ling knows that Xu Ling must work hard not to disappoint Master." ”

Xiaoyi nodded with satisfaction, "Master believes in you." Encouraged.

"After you two are done training, clean up the weeds in the back mountain for me before I am allowed to have lunch!"

Suddenly, Chen Yi's voice came from behind his ears, and he heard a burst of sweat on the back of the two of them, and everyone else also pinched the sweat for the two, their Chen Yi uncle is notoriously strict, this little junior brother has always been loved by the master and uncle, and now the two have stepped into the fire pit.

"Uncle, Master has already made us apologize......" The two seemed to be still lucky.

Chen Yi looked at the two of them angrily and warned, "What, do you want me to say it a second time?" ”

Although the two were resentful, they didn't dare to resist, so they could only reluctantly leave the training ground and go to the back mountain.

"That's the end of today, let's all go back." Subsequently, Chen Yi dismissed the group, and only the three of them were left on the training ground.

"Master, uncle. The senior brothers said that the senior sister was injured in the fighting conference and was recuperating recently, I wonder if Xu Ling can visit the senior sister? ”

Chen Yi looked at the worried look of the little man in front of him, and couldn't help but joke: "You and your senior sister are close, and your master is also ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiaoyi: "It's okay, but don't disturb her rest." ”

With the answer, Xu Ling ran out of the training ground in three steps and disappeared without a trace.

"This little white-eyed wolf, we picked him up at the beginning, but now we are very close to this Mu Sheng." Chen Yi pretended to be annoyed.

"Why are you still jealous of a child, naΓ―ve." Xiaoyi cast a contemptuous gaze, and walked out of the field.

Chen Yi watched them leave one by one, angrily crossed his waist, and shouted to Xiaoyi's back: "You are naΓ―ve!" ”

Xiaoyi, who was not far away, couldn't help but smile secretly.

As soon as Xiaoyi returned to the mansion, a small servant trotted in front of him, and said in his mouth: "Master of the door, there are two sons waiting for you in the main hall." ”

"When did you come?" Xiaoyi asked.

"I've been waiting for almost half an hour."

"Got it, you quickly go and tell the deputy door master to rush to the main hall, and I'll go later."

"Yes."

After Xiaoyi explained, he walked quickly towards the other courtyard, he left with his front foot, and Chen Yi entered the house with his back foot.

"Deputy door master, there are two sons who have been waiting in the main hall for a long time, the door master asked you to take the first step, and he will go over later." The little guy saw Chen Yi and repeated.

"Immediately send more inspectors in the palace, and the disciples of the inner courtyard are not allowed to move in the front yard, let alone near the main hall." Chen Yi admonished.

"Yes."

After Chen Yi left, the little guy scratched his head and muttered incomprehensibly: "Who can make the door master and deputy door master so nervous?" ”

Coming to the main hall, two handsome sons stood in the hall, one of them was wearing an ink-colored satin robe, with a golden hollow trim exposed inside the robe, and a jade belt around his waist. A pair of deep black eyes shot cold light, his facial features were angular, and his face was cold. Chen Yi recognized this person at a glance as Yan Qinghan.

The clothes beside him were fine silk, and the snow-white trim embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns and the sheep fat jade hair crown on his head complemented each other, subtly highlighting the extraordinary figure of his gorgeous and noble son. The man smiled slightly, and his smile was quite a bit of a merry boy, this is Jiang Lingzhou.

"Light Xiaomen Chenyi see the emperor." Chen Yi bowed and saluted.

"Outside the palace, you don't have to be polite, just call me Yan Gongzi." Yan Qinghan said softly.

Chen Yi straightened up, "Gongzi Yan, Gongzi Jiang", and called lightly.

"You are? Why hasn't the master of Xiaomen been there yet? Jiang Lingzhou looked at Chen Yi and asked.

"In the Xia Qing Xiao Sect Deputy Door Master, the door master has just dealt with the trivial matters in the front hall, so it will be late, please don't be impatient."

……

When Xiaoyi arrived at the courtyard, Mu Sheng was taking Xu Ling to enjoy the flowers in the garden.

"Master, why are you here too?" Xu Ling raised his eyes and saw Xiaoyi standing in front of the court.

"Xu Ling, I have friends with your senior sister to visit, so Master came to look for her." Xiaoyi smiled lightly.

"Senior sister, I'm relieved to see you, since the master is looking for you, Xu Ling will leave first." Xu Ling said in a good manner, which made Mu Sheng laugh, "Xu Ling has really grown up, okay, then the senior sister will not be far away." ”

Xu Ling was a little embarrassed by what Mu Sheng said, and ran out of the courtyard with a smoke and disappeared.

"But Yan Qinghan and they are here?" Mu Sheng asked.

"Well, Chen Yi and they are waiting in the main hall." Xiaoyi faintly arrived.

"Then let's get over there." Mu Sheng walked forward as he spoke, but was stopped by Xiaoyi.

"Wait, take out the leather mask I gave you in your room." Xiaoyi pointed in the direction of the house.

Mu Sheng suddenly realized, ran back to the house, turned the leather mask out, and handed it to Xiaoyi.

Xiaoyi put on a leather mask, and the two walked towards the main hall.

"I don't know that the emperor is visiting, Xiaoyi has missed the distance, and I hope the emperor will forgive the sins." As soon as he entered the main hall, Xiaoyi saluted and apologized.

"Xiaomen's words are serious, so you don't need to call it that way in private, it's better to be subtle." Yan Qinghan stepped forward and said without hurry.

"Yes. I wonder if the two of you came this time to discuss what happened last time? ”

"Master Xiaomen, this?" Jiang Lingzhou looked at Chen Yi on the side, and his eyes gestured to Xiaoyi.

"Jiang Gongzi don't worry, Chen Yi will be with Yan Gongzi to you, if you have anything to say, we can just say it." Xiaoyi said euphemistically.

Jiang Lingzhou still looked at Chen Yi uneasily, but he didn't say anything more.

Chen Yi didn't want Xiaoyi to be embarrassed, he knew that Jiang Lingzhou and Yan Qinghan must not have enough trust in him, so it was better to take a step back first.

"Door master, my subordinates remember that there are still some things that have not been resolved, and I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany you."

"Well, go ahead." Xiaoyi naturally understood Chenyi's approach and agreed.

After Chen Yi left, Yan Qinghan whispered angrily, "Ah Ling, it's too rude for you to do this." ”

"In extraordinary times, it's better to be careful." Jiang Lingzhou's tone was firm, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him.

"Jiang Gongzi is thoughtful, this is not to blame him. Or what are the two of you? Xiaoyi smiled lightly and turned the matter over.

"Tan'er told me about the dense forests on the outskirts of the city. I can't control the Queen Mother's actions every time, this time you are fortunate to be fine, but it is difficult to guarantee next time. Besides, I can't leave the palace smoothly every time, and you can't enter the palace often, it's too ostentatious, so I want to be the main person in Xiaomen, we can use this as a medium, and it will be much safer. ”

Yan Qinghan explained his intention succinctly and clearly, and his eyes fell on Mu Sheng's body.

"Master Xiaomen, since you are really helping us, then let us see the sincerity so that we can feel at ease." Jiang Lingzhou echoed.

"Then I don't know who Yan Gongzi wants?" Xiaoyi said gently.

"Miss Musheng, it's just right." Yan Qinghan blurted out.

Xiaoyi and Mu Sheng looked at each other and understood in their hearts.

"Please explain it to the childe? What do you need to do with Musheng? How? Mu Sheng stepped forward and asked sincerely.

"Go back to the palace with me, and I will make you a concubine at that time."

Mu Sheng hid his face and smiled, and asked rhetorically, "Aren't you joking?" ”

"Dare to ask Miss Mu, what does this mean?" Jiang Lingzhou couldn't help but ask.

"I should ask this, Mu Sheng is not married yet, if he becomes the emperor's concubine, what will happen in the future?"

"This is just a stopgap measure, now that the national crisis is at hand, how can you still only think about yourself?" Jiang Lingzhou retorted.

"Jiang Gongzi, this is not his own business, hang it high." Mu Sheng was blunt.

Jiang Lingzhou still wanted to argue, but was stopped by Yan Qinghan.

"If Miss Mu is embarrassed, I won't force it."

"Mu Sheng, since the emperor said so, he naturally thought of a solution for the future, so you don't have to worry too much." Xiaoyi comforted from the side.

"In that case, then listen to Master, I promise."

Xiaoyi knew that Mu Sheng was just to tease them, she was just to see Yan Qinghan's embarrassed appearance, and now that the goal has been achieved, it is enough to stop.

"I wonder if Gongzi can figure out how to bring Mu Sheng back?" The matter was decided, and Xiaoyi asked again.

"There is a plan, that is, Miss Mu needs to suffer some flesh and skin."

When Yan Qinghan said this, a little unbearable flashed in his eyes, and Mu Sheng couldn't help but be surprised that Yan Qinghan would have a time when he couldn't bear it, or to an inconsequential woman.

"Mu Sheng is a person who practices martial arts, and he still suffers from the pain of flesh and skin." Mu Sheng said indifferently.

"In two days, Yan will go out of the city to hunt, you can wait on the outskirts of the city when you arrive, Yan will make a mistake and cause you to be shot, and then take you back to the palace for medical treatment."

Jiang Lingzhou told the plan, Mu Sheng didn't have to think about it to know that this method must have been thought of by Jiang Lingzhou, and I am afraid that no one would come up with such a bad move except him.

"Okay, then I'll let Mu Sheng wait on the outskirts of the city, and everything will go according to plan." Xiaoyi should be harmonious.

After the discussion was settled, Mu Sheng sent the two out of the house.

Before leaving, Mu Sheng still remembered Yan Qinghan's expression when he looked at her, she couldn't say it, but she could feel that Yan Qinghan regarded her as Du Ruosheng, as for what kind of feelings he had for Du Ruosheng, she hadn't figured it out yet.

When they returned home, Chen Yi and Xiaoyi were standing in the courtyard.

Looking at Chen Yi's appearance, it was obvious that Xiaoyi had told him everything, and the plan was going on step by step as they expected.
