Chai Bozhong was silent, Qi Ning guessed Chai Bozhong's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Since Chai Junshi is sincere to conclude a covenant of harmony with my Dachu, you and I should show sincerity." Could it be that Chai Junshi still thinks that we are going to take the oath and do something? ”

"Guogong misunderstood." Chai Bozhong got up and said, "Guogong, wait a minute! Without further ado, he turned and left.

Qi Ning didn't wait too long, Chai Bozhong went and returned, holding a delicate small box in his hand, putting it on the table, and said, "Guogong, this is the oath drawn by the third prince himself." ”

Qi Ning thought that Chai Bozhong came prepared this time, obviously he had already guessed in advance that the Chu State would inevitably ask for an oath, and said with a smile: "With this thing, the emperor will be easy to do." Stretched out his hand to take it, but Chai Bozhong held it down, and said: "Guogong, the contemptible people even took out the oath, which can also show the sincerity of the three princes." But I don't know when your country is going to send troops? ”

Qi Ning said: "Master Chai Junshi, this matter is not in a hurry. You should know that I first have to persuade those important ministers with the emperor before I can start planning the battle plan for Xuzhou, yes, there are two more days, it is my wedding date, which will always be delayed for a few days, I estimate that when I really want to send troops, it will be a month at the earliest, this is because Sima Lan has prepared the war materials before, otherwise it will be longer. ”

"A month?" Chai Bozhong's brows stretched slightly: "If the Duke can persuade your country to send troops in about a month, it would be great." Of course, the three princes are looking forward to the sooner your country sends troops, the better. ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "Is Chai Junshi worried that Beitang Hao has cleaned up Beitang Zhao and sat down steadily, and it is too late for the third prince to send troops?" ”

"The prince of the country is discerning, and Chai admires it." Chai Bozhong also smiled slightly, clapped his hands, and two people came in from the side door, both holding brocade boxes in their hands, and came over to put them on Table Mountain, Chai Bozhong smiled: "Master Hou, it's just a small courtesy, not a respect." ”

Qi Ning said: "Chai Junshi is too polite. If it were at another time, even if Chai Junshi sent me a golden mountain, I would dare to laugh at it, but at this time, I think it's okay. If it is known that I have received a gift from Chai Junshi, it will become unfair even if it is for the public. ”

"Guogong is too worried." Chai Bozhong stroked his beard and said: "There is nothing too valuable. This box is a snow lotus, and the other box is just a calligraphy and painting. ”

"Snow Lotus?" Qi Ning was a little surprised.

Chai Bozhong said: "This is not the snow lotus picked in recent years, a few years ago several lamas of the ancient elephant kingdom went to my Han to meet the first emperor, sent two snow lotus, the first emperor gave one of them to the queen, and the queen gave it to General Qu, after General Qu got the snow lotus, he has not dared to use it, and has been treasured in the ice cellar until now." This time, General Qu specially asked the contemptible people to bring it over and transfer it to Guogong. ”

"I see." Qi Ning couldn't help but open the box and saw that it was indeed a snow lotus inside, but it was obviously too long, and the whole snow lotus was still quite intact, but the color was slightly dull.

But he knew that even so, this snow lotus was also unattainable.

"Chai Junshi, the lamas of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom have been to the Northern Han Dynasty?"

Chai Bozhong bowed his head and said: "Back then, those lamas made a detour to the northwest and crossed the northwest into Beijing, so General Qu received them. ”

"Master Chai, take the liberty of asking, what is the purpose of those lamas going to the Northern Han Dynasty?" Qi Ning asked, "Are they sent by the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, or are they ..... Sent by the King of the Sun? ”

Chai Bozhong's expression became solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Guogong also knows about this. Yes, those lamas were not sent by the Kingdom of Ancient Elephants, but disciples of the Dharma King of the Heavens, and the purpose of their entry into Beijing seems to be to ask for a meeting with Mu Yunhou. ”

"Asking to see Mu Yunhou?" Qi Ning was even more surprised.

Chai Bozhong groaned slightly, and then said: "When Guogong was in Eastern Qi, he should have seen those lamas, and the person at the head was called Gong Taxi!" ”

The corners of Qi Ning's eyes jumped slightly.

"When the third prince went to Eastern Qi, he also ran into that group of people." Chai Bozhong frowned and said: "The third prince told Chai that the purpose of those lamas going to Eastern Qi seems to be for the snow mussels, as far as I know, there are Youhan beads hidden in the snow mussels, and the purpose of those lamas is naturally to get the Youhan beads from Dongqi." ”

Qi Ning nodded and said, "That's true." However, the whereabouts of the Youhan Bead are unknown, and the group of lamas seem to think that the Youhan Bead was obtained by the three princes. ”

Chai Bozhong said: "The third prince didn't get any cold beads, and only the ghosts know what happened to the cold beads." ”

Qi Ning was slightly annoyed in his heart, secretly thinking that the cold bead was in Lao Tzu's hand, and it was also melted into the blood by Lao Tzu, you said that only ghosts know, wouldn't you scold Lao Tzu for being a ghost? He knew that Beitangfeng would inevitably suspect that the Youhan Bead was obtained by himself, and it was impossible for Chai Bozhong not to know the strangeness of this.

"Gong Tashi first went to the Northern Han Dynasty, and then to the Eastern Qi Dynasty, what the hell are they doing?" Qi Ning asked: "The whereabouts of this group of people are strange, and the real purpose is also difficult to guess. ”

"Why, we don't know." Chai Bozhong sighed: "Guogong, these two thin gifts should be regarded as congratulatory gifts to congratulate Guogong's wedding, please accept them." ”

Qi Ning said: "Chai Junshi is so polite, but I am disrespectful. He smiled slightly, and then said: "By the way, Chai Junshi, when you mentioned Mu Yunhou, I suddenly really had some concerns." The three princes want to enter the customs to inherit the throne, what is Mu Yunhou's attitude? I heard that your country Mu Yunhou is a great grandmaster, and his martial arts are unfathomable, and it is said that this person still controls the Nine Heavens Tower, if he supports the other two, then the three princes ......! ”

Chai Bozhong immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, no matter what, Mu Yunhou will not interfere in this matter." ”

"He is also a royal family of the Northern Han Dynasty, and such a major event happened in the Northern Han Dynasty, is he indifferent?" Qi Ning sighed: "I really can't believe it. ”

Chai Bozhong smiled very confidently: "If Mu Yunhou wanted to intervene, the first emperor would not have been so easy to inherit the throne back then." Guogong, that Mu Yunhou is really a master of the world, although he was born in the royal family, but for the affairs of the royal family, he has never asked, after the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he had thought about Jin Mu Yunhou as the king, but Mu Yunhou did not pay attention to it at all, his position as a marquis, or the first emperor Chongming was given the title when he was alive, otherwise Mu Yunhou would have been crowned king if he was willing. ”

"Mu Yunhou really doesn't ask about the world?"

"Although Mu Yunhou is the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, he has never been to the court, and no one has ever dared to enter his Marquis Mansion." Chai Bozhong said: "Emperor Chongming set up the Nine Heavens Tower, in fact, at the beginning, the Marquis of Changling was responsible for recruiting talents, and the five gods of the Nine Heavens Tower were all personally recruited by the Marquis of Changling back then. It's just that later the Marquis of Changling went to the front line to fight the border, and the Han royal family did not dare to hand over the Jiutianlou to a different surname, so he ordered Mu Yunhou to take charge of the Jiutianlou, but as far as I know, Mu Yunhou has never set foot in the Jiutianlou for half a step, and the real leader of the Jiutianlou is actually the Golden Shenjun headed by the Five Great Gods. ”

What Chai Bozhong said was actually not unexpected by Qi Ning, and it did not surprise Qi Ning.

Mu Yunhou is one of the five great masters in the world, such a pinnacle person, it is naturally impossible to be stumped by secular trivial matters, Jiutianlou is a strange person on the rivers and lakes, and most of the things he does are unseemly, Mu Yunhou's self-respecting identity is naturally impossible to get involved in.

"The name of Mu Yunhou on the Nine Heavens Tower is just shocking." Chai Bozhong said with a smile: "When the Marquis of Changling set up the Nine Heavens Tower and recruited people, he didn't ask about his background or character, but anyone who was good at it could enter the Nine Heavens Tower, even if it was a rooster and a dog thief, as long as there was something that others could not reach, the Marquis of Changling would take it for his own use." The Marquis of Changling's martial arts is already very good, and the royal people have skills, those people in the rivers and lakes are naturally obedient to him, and when the Marquis of Changling leaves, he looks at the court, except for Mu Yunhou, but no one can deter those people. ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "The Northern Han Imperial Court is worried that the appointment of other people will not be able to control that group of people, so it ordered Mu Yunhou to be in charge of the Nine Heavens Tower, so that the people of the Nine Heavens Tower are afraid of Mu Yunhou's prestige, so they naturally dare not come nonsense." ”

Chai Bozhong nodded and said, "That's true." Someone once said in private that even if your Chu army entered Luoyang City, Mu Yunhou would not move a finger, and the safety of this big man seemed to have nothing to do with him. ”

Qi Ning sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that it seemed that Chai Bozhong didn't know about the covenant of Longshan, several great grandmasters had an agreement back then, and the emperor wanted to dominate the world, and the people in the world would deal with it, and the great grandmasters would not be easily involved.

"Is Mu Yunhou in Luoyang now?"

Chai Bozhong shook his head and said, "Mu Yunhou's traces, I really don't know. The contemptible people have been staying in the northwest, even if they will go to Beijing with General Qu every year, but they have never seen Mu Yunhou, since Mu Yunhou does not ask about the world, all kinds of rituals and banquets naturally never participate, and the Han Dynasty and the opposition, few people dare to mention Mu Yunhou. Some people say that he has been staying in Luoyang, and some people say that he is an idle cloud and wild crane, and he travels all year round .....! He lowered his voice and said, "There are even rumors in private that it is said that Mu Yunhou has passed away. ”

Qi Ning thought to himself whether the great masters were dead or alive, which was indeed a great mystery to many people.

When Chi Danmei came to Chu State, she took Mo Lancang's instructions and wanted to find out the life and death of Beigong Liancheng, and even the great masters didn't know whether the other party was dead or alive, and all living beings naturally didn't know.

"Master Chai, I'll take this oath first." Qi Ning got up: "Come and bother, I have the same interests as Chai Junshi, and I don't have a side when I speak, hahaha, let's have a good chat another day, the big thing is now, I want to go back to the palace to report to the emperor." After a pause, he said: "Yes, in a few days, I will get married, if it is Chai Junshi, .....!" Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, shook his head with a smile and said: "Chai Junshi's trip is very secretive, naturally the less people know, the better, it seems that on the day I get married, I really can't invite Chai Junshi to drink a glass of water and wine." ”

Chai Bozhong arched his hand and said: "There are still many things on the third prince's side, and the contemptible people must rush back as soon as possible. Although I can't be there to congratulate you, I still have to say hello to the country in advance! ”

Qi Ning laughed, and Chai Bozhong sent Qi Ning out.
