() Murong Tan relied on the tantric intelligence network, and searched hard for more than ten years, by chance, he found Xu Neng, the chief of the guard of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, he had a half-grown child by his side, but there was no Xu Bai, the capable and powerful middle-aged man, in the sad years when there was no hope, he actually became a sloppy drunkard old man.

At that time, more than 100 people in the Hou Mansion were slaughtered overnight, which directly led to the outbreak of civil strife, burning and looting in Jiangling City, like purgatory on earth, the people fled in a hurry with their families, Xu Neng protected Xu Bai in the crowd, but because he was recognized by the soldiers guarding the door, he had to stand up and fight, and the panicked crowd was like a frightened and crazy herd of horses, swarming and trampling, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, and Xu Bai, who was alone, did not know where to be coerced.

After Xu Neng killed the soldiers defending the city, he turned his head and disappeared Xu Bai, it was like five thunderbolts, Hou Ye and his wife only left this bloodline, and lost it to him, he looked everywhere like a headless fly, but Xu Bai was like a stone ox into the sea, silent.

Since then, while he is looking for Xu Bai, while slowly looking for the culprit of the year, although he found a little clue, but was frantically chased by the masked man sent by the other party, for this reason, he had to flee far away, coinciding with the rampant flood this year, he accidentally picked up a little orphan, couldn't bear to throw it away, had to rely on her for his life, and went around performing for a living.

I don't know how many people were killed and injured in the civil strife of that year, more than ten years have passed, Xu Bai has no news, years of guilt and grief and indignation, so that Xu Neng has nowhere to resolve, only to get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows, fortunately, the child is getting older day by day, but can take care of him.

Murong Tan originally went to see Xu Neng with great joy, and he even thought about it, as long as Xu Bai was alive, if she got married, he would see that she was doing well, if she was not married and she was lame, he would take her back to Yunnan and accompany her to live a stable and peaceful second half of her life.

However, what he got was the most unacceptable result for him, and he had no news for more than ten years!

This time the blow to him was too great, he and Xu Neng talked all night, and after getting drunk, he returned to Dian Prefecture in a depressed manner, sleeping in the open air all year round, and having no fixed place, so that his temples were born early, and now he is alone, and he is even older than his eldest brother Murong Yuan.

The returning Murong Tan was lifeless, except for practicing at night, he just sat all day long, from sunrise to sunset, the four seasons changed, and it was two years in a flash, Murong Yuan, as the sect master of the Tantric Sect, except for ordering someone to piece together the information collected by the intelligence network for many years, the only thing left was to persuade this infatuated younger brother.

Murong Tan is too obsessed, no matter how much Murong Yuan says words of consolation, it is just an itch in his boots, seeing that he is depressed and emaciated day by day, Murong Yuan is afraid that he will not have the faith to live, so he has to let Murong Xi who is outside to visit more, even if it is a trace of a star, as long as there is a little bit of news back then, it can arouse the light that flashed in Murong Tan's eyes.

Just like a few days ago, Murong Xi sent back the news that the Mongolian inspection department was about to enter Beijing and his relatives, and received something from Murong Tan in an expedited manner of 800 li two days later.

"There is no basis for words, you know this object." Murong Xi took out a thin cowhide chain from his sleeve and put it on his slender index finger, and at the top of the chain, a wolf tooth inlaid with turquoise silver jewelry hung down!

"Uncle has one too, and it's exactly the same as this decoration!" Uda took a closer look at the wolf's tooth and A'ertai, and said in unison.

"My uncle knew that you had come from afar, so he specially asked me to come and see it, but unfortunately Uncle Ichimu couldn't come with him this time." Murong Xi put away his wolf teeth

, said with some regret.

"Brother Murong." Uda and Aertai stood up, covered their left chest with their right hand, and bowed.

"Both of you are guests of distinguished status, where did I receive such a great gift from you." Murong Xi smiled and held them up.

The three of them sat down again, and a few more dishes were made in the kitchen, and they were brought up one by one, and Du Mei saw that they were familiar at first sight, so he walked back to the counter and went to work.

"You're her brother?" Seeing that Murong Xi's eyes had been paying attention to Du Mei, Wu Da asked with a smile.

"Haha, I'm thinking about it." Murong Xi grinned at what he said, and turned his head to look at Du Mei, who was lazy to pay attention to them, and only buried himself in the takeaway list.

"That is to say, no, Brother Murong was born so well, I don't want you!" Ah Ertai stared at Murong Xi with burning eyes and said.

"No, no, no, I'm just a wandering idle cloud and wild crane, the identity of the county lord is respected, and there are many outstanding people in Jiangling City, not to mention that the nine princes are the dragon and phoenix among the people, that is, the children and grandchildren of the ministers of the court are all capable ministers and strong generals, all of them are amazing, and I am only afraid that I will be dazzling!" Murong Xi didn't expect to set himself on fire, so he waved his hand again and again.

Du Mei heard it clearly behind the counter, pursed his lips and snickered, this guy has always been messing around, and when he meets a powerful person, he is also afraid!

"The Ninth Prince? The emperor's younger brother, shouldn't that be an old man? He must already have an old woman in his house, and I don't want to marry him! Ah Ertai put his hands on his cheeks and pouted.

"Who told you that the Ninth Prince is an old man? Ming'er and he saluted, you can see it at a glance. He now has a beautiful side concubine and a childhood sweetheart's housekeeper, and he is just one concubine. Murong Xi saw the corners of Du Mei's mouth rising under the shadow of the lamp, and simply pulled the innocent Chu Lin as a shield.

"Why are you so lively?" Chu Lin came in wearing a light blue dark striped robe, and he saw Murong Xi with flying eyebrows, dancing and talking.

"These two friends from afar said that the Ninth Prince is an old man, and I am telling them." Murong Xi stood up and smiled narrowly.

"Really?" Chu Lin walked over, he didn't need to ask, and he knew that Murong Xi would not say anything good for him.

"Do you also recognize the Nine Princes? Did he have a good birth with Brother Murong? Ah Ertai looked up at the young man in front of him.

I saw the person in front of me, the sword eyebrows into the sideburns, the eyes like the deep sea, the jasper crown covered with black hair, a light blue, like a pool of flowing water, walking, sparkling, noble and elegant.

"We don't seem to be comparable." Chu Lin lifted the corner of his clothes and sat on the empty seat on the other side.

"You are the Ninth Prince?" Uda raised his eyebrows.

"It is this king, and the two of them are the envoys of the Mongolian inspection department, the prince of Uda and the lord of Aertai." Although the two of them were dressed in the clothes of people in Beijing, Chu Lin quickly judged from their accents and skin color.

Wu Da was a little surprised, but even more frightened, this person is the king of Yan, the fief is in Yandi, if he goes back, the inspection department will definitely not have a good life.

"I heard that the grassland has suffered a century-old drought this year, and seeing that I can't hoard forage for the winter, I have written a note, asking the emperor to open up the border trade, and let you sell your cattle and sheep for forage." Chu Lin saw that his face was nervous, so he comforted.

Wu Da listened, couldn't help but be moved, every time they went out to rob, they were also forced to do so, although they could get materials and money for a while, but they also paid a lot of casualties, if the border can be traded and circulated normally

goods, who wants to live the days of licking blood on the tip of the knife!

"Drink, drink, what's going on here!" Murong Xi moved an altar of Yutang Spring to Chu Lin.

"If my sister gets you to be her husband, let's repair it from generation to generation!" Uda picked up the wine, touched the two of them, and threw his head back and dried.

"No, no, no, the king can't marry the county lord!" Chu Lin put down the wine bowl and shook his head.

"What? My sister is a star on the prairie, the most beautiful girl in the hearts of warriors! What kind of immortal characters are hidden in your house, you can't even look down on A'ertai! Uda glared and said angrily.

"There is only one side concubine in King Yan's mansion, but I have already lived in my heart, she is very domineering, and she has never left any gaps, and she can no longer tolerate others." Chu Lin picked up the wine bowl and drank it with his head up, glancing at Du Mei out of the corner of his eye, she obviously heard his words, and was stunned for a moment.

"Brother, I think I still like Brother Murong more!" Ah Tai said coquettishly.

"Nonsense! What did Father Khan say, you are the lord of the county, you should do what you should do for the Khan's court! Wu Dahu taught a lesson.

"But my father Khan will not force me to marry someone I don't like! Isn't it the same if you marry a princess and go back? "Ah Ertai's temper is like a lit second kick, and it is about to explode.

"Okay, I begged the emperor of the Dashun Dynasty to make the female shopkeeper a princess, and I will marry her back!" Wu Da had already drunk a jar of Yutang Chun, and his eyes were red.

"No way!"

"No!"

Chu Lin and Murong Xi shouted loudly.

"Are all the men of the Dashun Dynasty so cowardly? Without our grassland children living freely, love if you want to love, love if you love, how can there be so much truth to talk about!

You are clearly rivals in love, what kind of brotherhood are you playing here, if this was in our grassland, it would have been solved by a duel a long time ago. Uda stretched out his hands and pointed at the two of them and laughed.

"The prince is drunk!" Chu Lin's face darkened, and Wu Da's words were like a knife, poking at his heart at once, and he clenched his fists in pain.

"It's not early, we should go back, and we have to get up early tomorrow to submit the credentials." Seeing this, Ah Ertai hurriedly dragged Wu Da to the door.

"Lin Zheng, take two people to send the guests back." Du Mei looked up and said into the kitchen.

"Okay." Lin Zheng trotted to set the horse, and Lin Qi and Lin Ao walked a few steps tightly and supported Wuda.

"Why are you here today?" Du Mei put away the wine jar and chopsticks on the table, sat down and asked.

"These barbarians, who have always behaved rudely and have a short temper, I heard that they came to you, but I was afraid that you would not be able to resist them, so I hurried here." Murong Xi drank without changing his face.

"Because of the arrival of the Heqin Mission, several mountain goods stores suddenly opened on the street, selling Cordyceps wolf skins at this time, obviously losing money, there is only one explanation, these people are the hidden piles of the Ministry of Inspection.

As for whether they want to simply protect the royal family, or have other intentions, the burden of patrolling the Beijing camp is very heavy, plus Chu has not moved recently, I am afraid that it is not a good thing, and this will involve some troops, you have to be careful when you go in and out these days, if you are too busy, just rest in the back hall, don't go back in the middle of the night. Chu Lin looked at Du Mei, who was as calm as water where the lights were on, and said uneasily.

"Otherwise, I'll come and see you off every day, right?" Murong Xi didn't know what Chu Lin said in his heart, he said with a stern expression.
