A man with light brown gray straight hair and blood-pupiled eyes came to the gate of the Feng Palace.

"Excuse me...... Who are you? A palace maid from the Feng Palace looked timidly at the demon-like man in front of her and asked.

"Murong Lang." The man spoke, "I want to see Shasa." ”

The palace maid hurriedly ran into the main hall of the Feng Palace.

"Lord Sha!" The palace maid ran to Sha Sa, panting.

"What's wrong?" Sha Sa, who was playing chess with Ming Xiaozhi, was disturbed and said impatiently.

"There's a demon-like man out there, saying he wants to see you!"

"Huh?" When Sha Sa heard this, he smiled, "Haha! Who could it be? ”

"Under Murong Lang, see Master Sha." The man had entered the main hall.

"Oh? I thought it was," Sha Sa looked squarely at the man in front of him, "Isn't this the prince's personal guard, Murong Gongzi?" ”

Murong Lang looked like a humble gentleman, and he felt as distant as a god.

"It turns out that you are the famous Murong Gongzi." Ming Xiaozhi hugged the chessboard and stepped aside.

Murong Lang has a lot of temperament and is not familiar with mortal thoughts.

"I came to negotiate with Feng Palace on behalf of the Imperial Palace," Murong Lang spoke, his voice low and pleasant, "To be exact, I came to negotiate with you Sha Gongzi." ”

Sha Sa looked at him, and the evaluation that the prince had said to him in his mind came to his mind - Murong Lang was unreal, higher than human, and had divinity.

Such a man who is almost like a demon, even if he is attracted by Prince Chen, it is absolutely possible.

"Why did the palace find us? Why don't you go to the Qilin Palace first? Sha Sa asked.

"Could it be that Sha Gongzi wants me to go to the Qilin Palace first?"

"No," Shasa asserted, "of course not. I've always liked to be ahead of the curve. ”

"So, my visit should make you happy, shouldn't you?"

"It can only be said that it is a mixed blessing."

"I'm not here to trouble you," Murong Lang said, "I'm here to solve the problem for you." ”

"What's the problem?"

"Ahh After the Dragon Palace and the Jingkong Gate joined forces, how would the Phoenix Palace deal with it? ”

"That's what you're trying to figure out when you're here today?"

"Not bad." Murong Lang said, "Is the Feng Palace choosing the Imperial Palace?" Or is it the Kirin Palace? ”

“…… With the current situation, there is no need to alarm the palace," Sha Sa looked at Murong Lang, "The Qilin Palace will solve the problem." We don't want to disturb the Holy One. ”

"Ah, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very keen to know the latest developments here."

“…… We did form an alliance with the Kirin Palace," Sha Sa said, "but it was purely for the sake of balance—who called the Imperial Sheng ......"

"I understand below." Murong Lang nodded.

"Master Murong, please sit down first." Ming Xiaozhi sat down on the chair next to her.

"Ahh

Thanks a lot. Murong Lang sat next to Ming Xiaozhi and looked at Sha Sa.

"The Imperial Palace can understand that you and the Qilin Palace joined forces in order not to destroy the relationship between the three palaces to check and balance each other," Murong Lang said solemnly, "However, haven't you thought about forming an alliance with the Imperial Palace?" ”

"The Palace, really?" Shasa's eyes lit up.

"Hasn't the palace always been neutral?" Ming Xiaozhi looked at Murong Lang suspiciously.

"Hehe, it's really as Miss Ming said." Murong Lang said, "However, in the face of such a situation, the palace does not want to be passive, and may make an exception for you Sha Gongzi." ”

"You mean, make an exception for the Feng Palace," Sha Safu thought as he touched his chin, "The Imperial Palace actually took the initiative to break the balance of the three palaces......

"With all due respect," Murong Lang said, "the Third Palace is no longer in a balanced situation. ”

"Ah, of course." Sha Sa said, "What is Murong Gongzi's suggestion?" ”

"Hehehe, I'm just conveying the meaning of the prince."

"So, can you tell me?"

"The crown prince wants you to join forces with the Qilin Palace, but for now, it will only be used to deal with Long Yuan and Yu Sheng."

"The implication is ......"

"Don't form alliances with any other forces," Murong Lang said, "Of course, we will also send someone to remind Long Yuan and Yusheng that they should not form alliances with other forces." ”

"In other words, this contest is limited to the Dragon Palace and the Jingkong Gate, as well as the Phoenix Palace and the Qilin Palace."

"Absolutely."

"The palace isn't going to help either side?"

"Hehe, Lord Sha, you don't want to think about it, once the palace makes a move, once the problem is solved, what will happen in the future?" Murong Lang said, "Our task is to mediate, and since it is mediation, we can't settle grudges, let alone bring legacy problems to the future." ”

“…… Indeed, if the palace helped one side, the other side would cause problems. ”

"Therefore, the current situation is not irreparable, as long as everyone mediates the problem, there is nothing to fight about." Murong Lang accentuated the last few words.

"The palace naturally hopes that the world will be peaceful."

Murong Lang asked rhetorically, "Isn't Feng Palace so hopeful?" ”

"Ha, of course, we also want everything to be peaceful."

"Therefore, before the matter develops irreversibly, it is necessary to stabilize the forces of all parties."

“…… You'll also tell this to the Qilin Palace, the Dragon Palace, and the Jingkong Gate, right? ”

"That's what we do."

"I understand." Sha Sa nodded slowly, and then turned his gaze to Ming Xiaozhi, "Miss Ming, what do you think?" ”

Murong Lang seemed to notice Ming Xiaozhi at this time. He thought to himself: Sha Sa makes a decision, do you still have to refer to the meaning of a girl's family?

Ming Xiaozhi was silent for a few seconds, and then replied in a steady voice: "

I think Murong Gongzi is reasonable, for the sake of peace in the world, we have the obligation to form an alliance to become stronger, but at the same time, we must also pay attention to controlling the firepower and not hurting the innocent. ”

Murong Lang nodded and said with satisfaction: "Miss Ming is really the one who likes me." I can see why Sand Boy likes to have you by his side. What a smart girl. ”

"Young Master Murong," Sha Sa said, "What does the Imperial Palace mean is to allow the Feng Palace to form an alliance with the Qilin Palace, and then fight against the Dragon Palace and the Jingkong Gate together?" If you want peace, why doesn't the Imperial Palace directly intervene in the Dragon Palace and the Jingkong Gate, and let them give up first? ”

"Sha Gongzi's thinking is too simple," Murong Lang said, "Of course you can do that, but isn't this a waste of an opportunity to test your cooperation?" I'll be blunt—His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will wait and see. You can think of this as a test for the Phoenix Palace and the Qilin Palace. ”

A hint of alarm flashed in Sha Sa's eyes: The prince is looking forward to this?

"After all, it's rare to encounter such an obvious imbalance between the three houses...... In the previous dynasties, it was unprecedented, right? Murong Lang said.

Ming Xiaozhi looked a little uneasy, looking at Sha Sa, hoping that he could comfort her with his eyes.

Sha Sa didn't look at Ming Xiaozhi, but thought intently.

“…… Why, Sand Boy, smart as you are, you should already know the solution, right? Murong Lang asked.

"This ......" Sha Sa came back to his senses and looked at Murong Lang, "Murong Gongzi, may I ask what you—or the Imperial Palace—will you do during the period of our cooperation with the Qilin Palace?" ”

"Naturally, I'm watching you."

"The palace won't do anything, will it?"

"Hehe, I can't guarantee you."

“…… So, do I have to prepare for the intervention of the palace? ”

"Not necessarily, it all depends on how things develop."

"You say that, it's too broad."

"After all, it's all about things that haven't come to fruition and are full of suspense."

"You don't seem worried."

"Hehe, you can't see my worries." Murong Lang smiled faintly, but his depressed aura and courage did not decrease by half, "The palace is often accused of inaction, but the world doesn't know that it is the most difficult to rule by inaction. ”

"You're going to wait and see."

"We came prepared." Murong Lang corrected, "However, if you are willing to think so, I will not stop you." ”

"You're really talkative."

"Hehe, as a staff officer beside the prince, eloquence is the most basic."

Ming Xiaozhi quietly observed the two men, although it seemed to be an innocuous conversation, but the underlying meaning, with the subtle changes in aura and momentum, their strength advanced and retreated very imperceptibly.

However, as keen as Ming Xiaozhi, he can naturally capture the slightest.

One

Seeing that the atmosphere was solemn, Ming Xiaozhi took the initiative to stand up and said, "Murong Gongzi, after saying so much, you are also thirsty, right?" Let me pour you tea. ”

Murong Lang set his eyes on Ming Xiaozhi who stood up, and looked at her making tea, which was very elegant. Obviously, she studied the tea ceremony.

"I'm really honored to be able to drink the tea poured by Miss Ming herself." Murong Lang said to her.

"You're so polite."

"The rules brought out by the palace, please don't laugh at them."

"Where, in fact, Feng Palace also has a lot of rules, when I first came here before, it took me a long time to get used to it." Ming Xiaozhi said with a smile.

Sha Sa quietly watched as Ming Xiaozhi acted as a regulator, easing the two strong opposing forces.

When someone comes to him, Sha Sa has always liked to be accompanied by Ming Xiaozhi, she knows how to overcome rigidity with softness, knows how to buffer him, and knows how to play a round.

Murong Lang, who is as cunning as a fox, must have seen it.

However, Murong Lang was still drinking high-grade green tea while chatting and laughing with Ming Xiaozhi.

That guy seems to be enjoying himself. Sha Sa thought to himself.

"How about it, the tea in our Feng Palace is really not as good as that in the Imperial Palace, right?" Ming Xiaozhi said.

"Where, this is already the best in tea," Murong Lang said with a smile, "And the most important thing is that this is poured by you, Miss Ming, this is the point, after all, this is a rare thing in the world." ”

"Master Murong, I blushed when you said it." Ming Xiaozhi chuckled.

Murong Lang seemed to be in a relaxed state, but Sha Sa was keenly aware that Murong Lang's gaze would quietly sweep over Sha Sa's body from time to time, that is, one eye was still staring at Sha Sa's actions.

What a tough guy. Sha Sa thought.

However, Sha Sa didn't expect Ming Xiaozhi to completely distract Murong Lang's attention, after all, Ming Xiaozhi only played a buffering role.
