At the beginning of the light on the horizon, the imperial city of Weiguo was already bustling, and small traders began to scramble to tidy up their stalls, noodle restaurants, wonton shops, steamed bun stalls... Families set up pots, and by the morning dew, the steam in the market was steaming, and when people got up, they could have a full meal.

Next to the noodle stall at one end of the alley, there was Nan Chengwang and his party, looking at the few bowls stained with soup on the table, they must have just eaten a full meal. King Nancheng instructed his subordinates: "After today, we can go back to Nanming, and we all cheer up." ”

Indeed, the five-day time limit has arrived, and today is the day when Emperor Wei handed over the other four techniques.

"No!" Several of his subordinates responded in unison, hung a long sword on their waists, and ran to the palace with King Nancheng.

Maybe it was early today, and the defenders of the city didn't know King Nancheng, so they stopped them and sent two small soldiers to the main hall to spread the word. After a while, the herald came to announce the summons, and King Nancheng didn't mind.

"See His Majesty Emperor Wei." King Nancheng walked into the main hall alone and looked at Emperor Wei who was sipping tea.

Emperor Ming hurriedly put down the wooden cup in his hand and ordered: "Hurry up and give the imperial nephew a cup too!" ”

King Nancheng wanted to refuse, but the tea was fragrant and the wooden cup was elegant, since it was the last day of the Wei Kingdom, he might as well enjoy a cup, take the tea cup, and drink it all as if he was eating wine, and then said: "I wonder if Your Majesty can hand over the rest of the secret techniques to this king?" ”

"Hey." Emperor Wei sighed and made King Nancheng realize that the big thing was not good, and Emperor Wei explained: "It's not a secret, this king has gathered two secret techniques, as for the Stringless Technique and the Qiong Jelly Technique, it is really difficult to find it for a while. ”

"Your Majesty means harp and wine?" King Nancheng thought to himself, if only these two techniques flowed out, it would be reasonable, after all, gin was not trivial to the government.

"Well, exactly. I wonder if the emperor's nephew can be accommodating? Emperor Wei's fatherly voice was full of sincerity.

"It's just gin, it's okay." King Nancheng stepped forward to take the mahogany box, "This king wishes that Nanming and Wei will join hands to defend against the enemy and share peace." ”

"So good, hahahaha, very good!" Emperor Wei smiled instantly, the stone in his heart finally fell, seeing that Emperor Wei was so happy, King Nancheng also smiled, these days, Emperor Wei really took care of himself like an uncle, and it is no wonder that the people of Wei Kingdom are so friendly and hospitable.

【Nanming, Daxing Lingfu】

As soon as the early dynasty passed, the great order invited King Jing, King Hui, and Wei Xiang into the mansion, and these three people gathered together at the same time, as if they were in the early dynasty.

"King Jing, King Hui, and Wei Xiang, it's rare to invite you to come to the humble house, and the pangs are shining." Although Daxing ordered these three people to be invited, he was inevitably a little flustered in his heart, after all, the official ranks were above him.

"Eh, what's the case, since the Daxing Order has invited the three of us, there must be something important, so let's just say it." King Hui urged.

"Okay, then I'll be straight down. His Majesty has made a decision on the alliance between Wei and ordered Weichen to hand over a letter of rejection today. Daxing Ling said solemnly.

"You mean, Your Majesty rejected the alliance?" King Jing was stunned, his eyebrows were tightly locked, his chest was raised, as if he didn't dare to swallow with a breath, and he looked at Daxing Decree excitedly.

"Exactly. Why is King Jing so excited? Daxingling was puzzled.

"What about the rejection? Handed out? King Jing rang louder and louder, and when he saw Daxing Ling nodding slightly, his expression became even more panicked: "Oh no, no, no!" ”

"King Jing, this is....?" Wei Xiang was at a loss.

"This king still has important matters, so go first." After saying that, King Jing hurriedly ran out, shouted Ling Xiao, and returned to the house immediately.

The three of them sat around the main hall, and before they came back to their senses, King Jing was gone.

"Ling Xiao," King Jing said as he gasped in the carriage, "Quickly send more people to Weiguo to find Ju'er!" Your Majesty, Your Majesty, rejected the alliance of the Wei Kingdom. ”

Ling Xiao seemed to have experienced a thunderbolt from the sky, and only analyzed the matter with King Jing last time, according to speculation, it was clear that King Nancheng should be discussing an alliance in Wei at this time, how could he suddenly send a big order to draft a letter of rejection, Ling Xiao couldn't believe it, and replied: "How can this be?" Lord Wang, isn't that the king of Nancheng? ”

"Wait, my mind is messed up now, it's messed up, it's all messed up." King Jing whispered, unable to clear his thoughts in anxiety.

"Not good, don't you? King Nancheng pretended to form an alliance, in order to ask for benefits from Wei State, and then ordered the rejection of the alliance, so that Qi State could see my attitude clearly. "Ling Xiao is really Ling Xiao, and only he can guess half a point in Emperor Wei's heart, but it is too late.

"According to you... When Wei Guo received the rejection letter, he would definitely hate Nanming to the core, and he would also hate Nanming's people deeply, wouldn't Ju'er..."King Jing held his body for fear of falling.

"My subordinates will personally go to Weiguo to find the county lord!" Ling Xiao asked.

"No, you have to stay here, Ju'er can't be fine, and neither can you." King Jing has long regarded Ling Xiao as a close relative, and Ling Xiao can be compared to He Ju in his heart over the years, after all, he has no children under his knees.

"My subordinates will send someone to find it!" Ling Xiao's nose was sour, and she turned around and jumped out of the carriage.

【Weiguo, on the outskirts of the Imperial City】

from Nanming, who knows everything well, all the way to the unaccompanied Wei Kingdom; From the border of trade between the two countries, all the way to the foot of the imperial city; From the bustling streets, all the way to the wilderness. It's been a few days of walking, but I haven't heard anything about the stringless technique.

"County Lord, there is a Taoist temple in front, why don't you ask for a drink?" Xiao Qiyan said.

He Ju looked around, it was difficult to find some food in this remote suburb, and the sun was too much, and the sun was getting more and more thirsty. He Ju nodded in response: "Then let's hurry up." ”

Xiao Qiyi grabbed Ruoxin, who had long been unable to walk, and saw her dragging her heavy body and moving into the Taoist temple step by step.

"Three girls, these are?" Dao Gu came with a floating dust in her hand, and although she was old, there was no wrinkle on her face.

Why is this aunt familiar with it, could it be that she has seen this person in a dream? He Ju was in a trance for a while, forgot the etiquette, and stood aside in a daze.

"I've seen the Taoist." Xiao Qi arched his hand and asked, "I came from Nanming, and I ran all the way here, and I accidentally passed by Baoguan, I don't know if I can ask for some water to drink?" ”

Only then did He Ju come back to his senses: "I'm disturbing the Dao chief, please forgive me for the offense." ”

"No problem, no problem. Why don't you come in and have some side dishes and some tea? Dao Gu invited.

"Thank you so much, Dao Chief!" As soon as Ruoxin heard that there was food, her legs and feet were instantly flexible, and she ran into the house with a smile, and did not forget to beckon He Ju and Xiao Qi to come in together.

The four of them sat around the table, and the table was full of all kinds of side dishes, fragrant, as if they had been prepared, after all, Dao Gu alone could not eat so much.

"Forgive the offended, why did the three girls come here?" Dao Gu asked, motioning for everyone to move their chopsticks.

He Ju always had some reverence for cultivators, so he told the truth: "Don't hide it, we are here for the Stringless Technique." Have you ever heard of it? ”

"The stringless technique of the Twelve Tantric Techniques, how can the poor Dao not know it? I heard that this technique was obtained by Yi Bao, a pianist, and now it is no longer in the Wei Imperial Palace. Dao Gu replied.

When He Ju heard these clues, he couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Does the Dao Master know which violinist it is?" How can I find her? ”

Dao Gu shook her head thoughtfully: "Poor Dao doesn't know. But you can go to Weiyin Lou to have a look, there is a pianist there who has never seen a guest, maybe she can know. As soon as you enter the imperial city, go straight, and not far away is the Weiyin Building. ”

Through Daogu's suggestion, He Ju and the three of them soon came to Weiyin Building. From a distance, this Weiyin Building is no different from an ordinary restaurant. Looking closely, the people in front of this Weiyin Building are very quiet.

He Ju and the three of them walked in while looking. When the shopkeeper saw the faces of the three people, he asked, "Is it the first time for the three of you?" ”

The three nodded in unison.

"In Weiyin Building, the three of them can eat tea, enjoy music, and watch people. As for the rest—" The shopkeeper explained the rules.

"Can't you see that we are women?" He Ju asked with interest, even if the three of them tied their hair with swords and wore black and white clothes, they were still bright women.

"Oh yes, the woman naturally doesn't have other ideas, she's confused." The shopkeeper said and pointed to the tag behind him: "Which pianist do you want to choose?" ”

"Shopkeeper, I heard that there is a pianist in Weiyin Building who has never seen a guest, I want to find her." He Ju said and ordered Xiao Qi to take out an ingot of gold, which was enough to buy this building.

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Girl, quickly put it away, be careful of being targeted by thieves." The person the girl said is not listed, and there is no need for gold or silver, and if she wants to see this person, she needs to play a song, and if she hears it well, she will meet herself. ”

Among the women of Nanming's official family, if He Ju boasts that he is the second in piano skills, no one dares to call himself the first, and he is not afraid to play a song.
