In the territory of Yulin Country, compared to the scorching summer of Wuguo, it has gradually entered autumn, and Xiao Hanguang has been here for more than half a year unconsciously.

The king of the Yulin Kingdom was secretly discovered not so much as a king, but a puppet who was manipulated, and all the affairs at home and abroad were taken care of by the national teacher.

Xiao Hanguang once sneaked into the palace late at night and found that the major palaces in the palace were guarded by a large number of soldiers, and the atmosphere was very strange.

Although he did not substantially find out the whereabouts of the people of the Five Poisons Sect, Xiao Hanguang had an intuition in his bones, telling him that Zhao Ling'er's family and the people in the Five Poisons Sect definitely had an unknown relationship.

However, since Zhao Ling'er had a few contacts with him, he was like a dogskin ointment, he couldn't shake it off, and he couldn't shake it off, so he swayed in front of him. "Brother Xiao, are you going out today, take me with you, you are a foreigner, you are not familiar with life, bring me is a living map, you don't know, but I can recognize which door and which household with my eyes closed."

Xiao Hanguang still had a cold face, and he couldn't avoid it, and as soon as he saw Zhao Ling'er, he immediately bypassed.

But she was happy to follow behind Xiao Hanguang, she was already cute, and this grin was like an innocent and cute doll, and she couldn't help but want people to get closer, although this is just her mask, you must know this master, but the famous little bully in the streets and alleys has only recently stopped.

Xiao Hanguang had just come out of the house, but he was keenly aware that he was followed by that familiar annoying figure behind him, so he stopped his steps, did not look back, and said in a cold voice, "If you follow again, I will gouge out your eyeballs." “

A coquettish voice came, "Don't, Brother Xiao, I'm here, I'm not worried about you." "There are so many female goblins in this city, if I am abducted by a female goblin of which family, where can I find such a handsome and strong martial arts person like you. Zhao Ling'er was embarrassed to say the next words, but muttered quietly, and they couldn't reach the ears of the man who was more than ten meters away from him.

However, she really underestimated Xiao Hanguang's ears, and after hearing it, there was a chill in her heart, and this disgust was revealed on her face from the bottom of her heart, and her handsome face, which was already sharp and cold, couldn't help frowning because of hearing her words.

"If you're not afraid of death, try it." With a bit of ridicule, no matter what strange actions the people behind him did, he walked away without looking back.

Yesterday, I heard the news in the teahouse that the palace is going to hold another concubine selection contest in the near future, and it is about to start a competition in the next few days.

Xiao Hanguang went to inquire about the details of these people who were going to participate in the draft, and as soon as he walked to the bulletin wall of the emperor's list, he saw a group of people talking about it.

"The palace has to choose a concubine again, it's too much to choose once a year, you said that our king chose so many women to enter the palace, and he couldn't be pampered." A middle-aged man dressed as a butcher said with a shiny face.

The person who answered his words sneered, "That is, you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, which means that our king is in good health, unlike you, who is fat." After speaking, he looked at the butcher very playfully.

Xiao Hanguang didn't care too much about the two of them, turned sideways and stepped forward to look at the content on the list, and asked all women from each family who had reached the age and had not yet left the cabinet to participate in the selection of concubines, which turned out to be mandatory participation, which Xiao Hanguang did not expect.

Although Yulin Kingdom is only a vassal country of Wu Kingdom, it should have everything, and even more abundant, and those rich businessmen and magnates rushed to fill out the registration brochure for their girls, and the market was lively for a while.

These businessmen, don't they just think that if their girl is chosen by the king, then the business in the past few years will be guaranteed, with this pass of the royal family of Yulin Kingdom, you can trade between several major countries at will, this is a cost-effective thing, these people who started by doing business are very willing to buy such a thing, so almost no one will be unwilling to participate in such a grand event.

After watching the noise in the bazaar, Xiao Hanguang walked around, during this time he had figured out all the corners of the city, and even heard a little about the various forces in the city, business dealings, I have to say that Zhao Ling'er is still somewhat useful, he doesn't look like a decent person on weekdays, but when he asks her about the big and small things in the city, he knows almost everything, and half of the news is found from her, which saves a lot of effort.

When passing by Du Mansion, I saw a figure dressed as a scholar coming out of the back door, sneakily as if he was afraid of being discovered, Xiao Hanguang glanced at it with his eyes, and was sensed by the man, the two met for a moment, and saw that the person immediately got into the carriage and drove away.

Xiao Hanguang recognized that the man dressed as a scholar was actually the eldest young master of Du Mansion - Du Ming, although Du Ming didn't know him, but Zhao Ling'er's mouth was okay all day long, so he took out this person and scolded him, endlessly, and last time she was reprimanded by the old lady of the Du family, Xiao Hanguang became interested and had sneaked into Du Mansion, so he knew Du Ming's identity and appearance, but he was dressed like this, and he didn't know where he went behind his family's back.

Without thinking too much, Xiao Hanguang went back to the inn.

"Zhao Ling'er, you listen to the old lady, I will let people tell you to go to the matchmaker in the past two days, if you make trouble for me again, you can see that I don't smoke your skin." Yue Niang's voice spread to the alley, and she could hear that Zhao Ling'er made her angry again.

"I don't, I don't, I just don't get married, don't bother, it's not those old men who are looking for it, do you want you, a beautiful girl, to be a concubine for others?" Zhao Ling'er would not agree to Yueniang, and retorted vigorously.

Yue Niang smoked a feather duster, chasing Zhao Ling'er up and down, without stopping.

"So you mean, you're going to go to the concubine election? You don't want to think about it, if you are elected to the palace, you will not be able to get out. ”

"I didn't say I was going to participate in the selection of concubines, anyway, I don't want to get married, and I don't want to go to the palace." Zhao Ling'er was tired of running, squatting on the stairs, looking down at Yueniang below, afraid that she would be angry.

Yueniang crossed her waist and shouted at the people above, "I can't help you, you have reached the age this year, if you don't report it truthfully, don't think about opening our store, if you don't want to participate in the selection of concubines, marry me." “

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Hanguang walked into the store. Suddenly there was no sound.
