For the third-generation disciples of the Xuandao Hall on the Stone Mountain, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of this year really frightened them. The day before, the senior brother of this generation, Sun Li, on behalf of Yan Xu and Yue Qianqiu, let everyone go to see the lights on leave, and many people came back early in the morning.

Who would have thought that most people would be awakened by the sound of gongs and drums before they could sleep for an hour with their eyes closed.

The head of the house, Yan Xu, actually wants to pass on the throne to Yue Qianqiu today! Moreover, it is said that from the emperor downward, a large number of people will come to watch the ceremony!

Isn't this a trick?

Although everyone was listless when they crawled out of the warm bed, Sun Li, after the emergency assembly, after the fierce death order, said another word, which instantly lifted their spirits.

"Uncle Yue just ordered someone to pass the word, it came suddenly, I didn't sleep well at night, and I had to deal with so many big people with full energy during the day, which was really embarrassing for everyone. But if others see that a large number of people in the Xuandao Hall are all depressed, and the words decadence and incompetence will spread in the future, our reputation will be over. ”

"So, Uncle Yue will bring two good old ginseng in a while, and he will cut it himself, and turn around with three pieces per person! These are all good things that Uncle Yue robbed from a certain palace in Beiyan, even if he is dying, he can hang his life with a small piece, not to mention that now he is just giving everyone a spirit. As for the ones that can't be used, everyone can keep them for future treatment, or nourish vitality, and use them casually. ”

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, not to mention that at this time, Yue Qianqiu is ginseng, and there is no need for everyone to go to the battlefield, I just hope that everyone will behave in spirit in front of the emperor and some important ministers, such a relaxed thing, who will shirk perfunctory? As the first person shouted that the more the head is really kind, all kinds of voices of the new head of the ass are endless, and some people even shout Long live.

Fortunately, this person was probably immediately covered from side to side, and no one echoed this great rebellion.

But no matter what, the atmosphere was finally mobilized. Sun Li quickly arranged all kinds of errands, from cleaning to decoration to furnishings...... When someone curiously came up and asked if someone from the Wuying Pavilion was coming, he was slapped by Sun Li unceremoniously.

"Sect Master Zhou, they have also been temporarily transferred to guard the Holy Driver, why, you have to have girls here to work hard? Be a little more energetic, a little brave, and the emperor will praise you, maybe your future will be so decided! ”

Under the triple encouragement of material, spiritual, and future, the red-eyed teenagers screamed and took action. So, when Yue Qianqiu arrived with Dai Zhanning and Liu Fangyuan, he saw that the vicinity of the mountain gate was already clean, and at first glance it looked spotless, and even the three-character plaque of Xuandaotang seemed to be shining.

Although he also invited Xu Hao to invite Bai Bufan to the next post, Bai Bufan is not a formal disciple of Xuandao Hall - Yan Xu confiscated other apprentices except for Yue Qianqiu, and other elders such as Liu Jingxuan and Dai Jinglan are all on the border, who is embarrassed to accept the Bai family's lineage in the air? Therefore, after Yue Qianqiu poured a bowl of ginseng soup and went out with a pack of ginseng slices, he only went to personally pull Dai Zhanning and Liu Fangyuan.

Dai Zhanning and Liu Fangyuan also didn't expect that the event originally scheduled for early February would arrive here early. And when Yue Qianqiu said that the old lady Yue had already brought a message, saying that the emperor and the prime minister would arrive. The two were even more nervous. Although they have all seen it today at a young age, they were not afraid of heaven and earth at that time, but now it is not, and no one dares to imagine the consequences of the problem.

Therefore, as soon as the two arrived, they immediately asked Sun Li to send important people, and selected all the disciples who were most optimistic about them when they came to Xuandao Hall in the past, divided them into two teams, and pulled the net all the way from Xuandao Hall to investigate, and at the same time instructed Sun Li to send safe people to other places on the stone mountain to deliver letters, and tactfully but forcefully asked people to close the door today.

As for the excuse, it is ready-made, the eldest princess of Dongyang, the old lady of the Yan Xu family, will bring a group of female relatives to Xuandao Hall today for guidance! The whole stone mountain will be under martial law, and even if they open the door, there will be no guests, so it is better to close the door honestly!

As for what a group of women can instruct the disciples of the Xuandao Hall, who would explain this!

Yue Qianqiu saw that the vigorous and resolute people were all going to take care of themselves, and he stood in the wide open space behind the entrance of the Xuandao Hall, but he couldn't help but be a little dazed.

I remember that at the beginning, people from all major sects gathered in Jinling to rebuild the martial arts record, and he used Nuo Nuo's birthday party to feast here, and finally personally led Zhen Rong and his party through the mountain gate to this place. The scene at that time seems to be vivid, and the discussion at that time seems to be in the ears. In fact, it had only been less than a year since the whole thing, but he felt as if a long, long time had passed......

"Luo Yingzi Zhen Rong...... I don't know the first version, I don't know how you are? I don't know if we can see each other again in the Year of the Monkey, so I should be able to make a draw with you at that time, right? ”

There will certainly not be a lot of time for sadness and sadness. The emperor's entourage was definitely late, and the number of guests who arrived early caught him off guard. The arrival of the eldest princess of Dongyang was natural, but she also brought Miss Jin Cancan. For running to join in such a lively scene, Jin Cancan took a look at the gap and explained to Yue Qianqiu in private.

"Ninth Prince, it's really not that I'm well-informed, it's that the eldest princess sent someone to my house to pick me up." When she said this, Miss Jin herself was a little bitter, and her heart was obviously hairy, "If there are a lot of nobles going back, I can't cope with it, can I pretend to be sick and hide in the room and not go out when the time comes?" ”

Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but smile, but that smile was full of sympathy: "The eldest princess brought you here, obviously she just wants you to show your face, you want to pretend to be sick, have you asked her?" Don't worry, she will definitely protect you when she takes you out, this credibility is still there for the eldest princess, and besides, your name has appeared in the emperor's ears. ”

If other girls heard this, they would definitely be excited and encouraged, but Jin Cancan couldn't be happy at all with a sad face. She is not an official lady, so it is easy to say that her parents gave her a little autonomy, but if she continues like this, she has to be swallowed by those dignitaries!

Just as she sighed, Yue Qianqiu, who couldn't find the words to comfort her, heard Sun Li's voice. This "critical order" to be a welcome boy - even if someone who is a lot older is not a boy anymore - at this time, there was a bit of anger in his voice: "Uncle Shi, His Royal Highness the King of Jin outside has come down!" He also brought ...... Brought that Miss Pei family! ”

Yue Qianqiu guessed that Xiao Jingxian would probably not let go of such an occasion full of friends, but he didn't expect that people would blatantly bring Pei Bao'er out. Seeing that Jin Cancan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, as if he could scold the next moment, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "The matter between the two of them is what you and I want, let's just take a look as outsiders and talk less." ”

Seeing that Jin Cancan suddenly looked like a deflated ball, he smiled and said, "You go and accompany the eldest princess, Xiao Jing will deal with it first." As for Pei Bao'er, you can do it according to your heart, as long as you don't mess with Xiao Jingxian's face! ”

With that, he turned and strode away. It wasn't until he followed Sun Li to the mountain gate that he realized how conspicuous Xiao Jingxian was today. Although the eldest princess of Dongyang who just came with Jin Cancan and many maids, it was a widow who had been widowed for many years with an unmarried daughter from another family, and the maids were also an embellishment. But right now, Xiao Jingxian is wearing a brocade hat and mink fur, Pei Baoer is wearing a silver rat and a rabbit, and she is wearing a colorful crane.

Faced with this scene, even if he knew what Xiao Jingxian's heart was, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then stepped forward with a smile and said, "His Royal Highness King Jin is afraid that others will not know that you have won a beauty, so you have to bring someone out to show off?" ”

"In the middle of winter, Bao'er was very embarrassed at home, and it was rare to have such a lively scene, so I took her out for a walk. Why, do you dislike us as uninvited guests and intend to turn us away? ”

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Xiao Jingxian said this in a loud voice, which was in stark contrast to Pei Bao'er, who was a little bird on the side. Seeing that Yue Qianqiu snorted unceremoniously, as if he was about to taunt him, he took a step forward, reached out and pressed Yue Qianqiu's shoulder familiarly, and whispered in a posture of hooking his shoulders and back: "Pei Xu will come today." ”

These six words perfectly explained Xiao Jing's purpose for coming here at once. While Yue Qianqiu knew in his heart, he glanced at Xiao Jingxian, who returned to Pei Bao'er's side like a good man, and finally said angrily: "Okay, okay, you can come, I raise my hands to welcome, right?" The eldest princess has arrived, do you want to take your beauty to the guest hall to meet her first or what? ”

"I can't ask for it." Xiao Jing first glanced at Pei Bao'er, who was obviously a little nervous next to her, and quietly reached out for her to hold the crane that was almost to the ground, "Didn't you always say that you admired the eldest princess very much?" Let's go, come with me and meet you. ”

Yue Qianqiu really couldn't stand Xiao Jingxian's bad taste, and led the two of them to the guest hall and immediately slipped away. As for whether there would be any collision in the compartment, he didn't want to know at all. And the troublesome guests were obviously not just these two, as soon as he slipped out of the courtyard door, Bai Bufan ran over.

"You're a fast runner. Hey, is this a predator? Why do you look like you're sweating profusely? ”

For this young tiger of the Bai family, who does not know each other and is one of the four sons of Jinling alongside himself, Yue Qianqiu has always been very close, and as soon as he joked at this time, he only heard Bai Bufan say angrily: "King Ying and Prince Jia are here together!" I was behind them, but when I heard two familiar voices arguing in front of me, I took a look around and took a shortcut through the woods to report to you! I met Brother Dai on the way, and when I heard about it, he said that it was all handed over to me, and he couldn't deal with those two. ”

Yue Qianqiu suddenly had a headache. Shouldn't the little fat man come with the emperor? Why are you here so early? Later, you won't meet Li Chongming's enemy! But he had seen too much of similar scenes, so he pretended to be indifferent and said: "Once the two of them meet, there is nothing strange about the quarrel at that time." ”

"That's not what I said!" Bai Bufan took a deep breath, and then said viciously, "I heard that the King of England was questioning the prince of King Jia, saying that it was a person from King Jia's Mansion who was related to the Yangzhou Cheng family's extermination case!" ”

Yue Qianqiu himself only learned about this matter last night, and it is conceivable that this is an event that needs to be kept secret. Now that the little fat man has reached the point of questioning Li Chongming, it is obvious that the matter has inevitably leaked. Nine times out of ten, the little fat man was in a big mess after getting the news, so he was used as a gunman!

"This unobtrusive dead little fat man!"

scolded viciously, Yue Qianqiu didn't care about anything else, and ran out as if flying. When he hurriedly came to the mountain gate, he saw Sun Li was circling there, and not far away was the little fat man and Li Chongming's group coming over here, and the little fat man in front of him was spitting and scolding his mother, and he slapped Sun Li on the shoulder when he approached from behind.

"You go and greet the other guests for me, and I'll leave these two troublesome essences to me!"

Sun Lizheng, who recognized the two distinguished guests from afar and found that they were arguing, was worried about how to receive them, and when he heard Yue Qianqiu's words, he suddenly felt like he had been amnestied. As for calling the two top royals troublesome...... Anyway, Yue Qianqiu even did such a thing as giving the British King Li Yiming a nickname, so he wouldn't bother to entangle, and the smoke flashed quickly.

And Yue Qianqiu settled down, and when he saw that the two teenagers not far away were still fighting each other, he took a big breath and shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of England and the prince of King Jia came to Xuandao Hall, isn't it just to quarrel outside the door?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the little fat man who woke up saw Li Chongming's relieved face, and suddenly felt that the evil fire was rising, and he hated to have to mediate with Yue Qianqiu and kick this pretending kid off the horse. However, he finally knew what was more important at this time, and with a flick of the reins, he rode out.

When he was about to reach Yue Qianqiu, after he jumped off the horse, he asked with a dark face, "Will you come to welcome me or him?" ”

"Do you have to choose one or the other?" Yue Qianqiu sighed, and when he saw that the little fat man's face was even more ugly, he stepped forward without any scruples and grabbed the person's neck and dragged him aside, and asked in a low voice, "Who told you that King Jia and Cheng Qianqian's family were involved in the murder case?" ”

Of course, the little fat man is not stupid, at this time, he broke free of Yue Qianqiu's arm, and he said angrily: "It was Chen Wuliang who said it, could it be that he will lie to me?" ”

How could it be Chen Wuliang? Yue Qianqiu originally thought that someone told the little fat man that he wanted people to be carried away by anger and do stupid things, so as to provide some kind of opportunity for King Jia's family or others. But at this time, the little fat man confessed to Chen Wuliang, and he knew that he had guessed wrong. But this did not prevent him from carrying the little fat man over again like an eagle catching a chicken.

"Even if you hear it, you should keep it in your heart for the time being, look back at the opportunity to make trouble again, and fight with people halfway, is it useless? As long as people don't admit it, what can you do? Even if you think that your father has human and material evidence, King Jia's family may not have a future, but you haven't thought that Gonggong Chen may be telling you by the emperor's will, and then observe your reaction and response? ”

"I ......"

The little fat man was speechless all of a sudden. His face was tense, and his mood was even worse, and finally he couldn't help but shout to Yue Qianqiu: "My father is only one of my sons, why does he have to test me?" Could it be because the King of Jin said that the imperial city is arbitrary and unfathomable? But I am his son, what can't he say to me directly? ”
