Princess Mingzhu is uncomfortable, and Broken Leaf is even more uncomfortable than her. These old men were worried about the princess, so they slowly pressed down the qi machine towards him, trying to thwart his sharp energy before they could do it. Broken Leaf took a deep breath, naturally unwilling to sit still, and silently said in his heart, 'not falling' has been unsheathed. It is not his weapon, and over the years, I don't know how many times he has wanted to leave him, and he has forcibly pressed him, and he rarely uses it in weekday battles.

The sword qi is clear, but the tail tip swept out a touch of red, and the palm of the broken leaf dripped blood, and the sharp sword light rubbed over a pair of fleshy palms. The pavilion on the first floor began to shake, countless vases exploded out of thin air, and the hanging paintings cracked and fell to the ground. The six old men glanced at each other, and said tacitly at the same time: "Young man, since you are here to find books, you must not want to destroy these precious collections, why not go to the roof of the building to fight?" ”

On the roof of the building, there are three of the most honorable guests, and when they move, they often move very loudly. Therefore, on weekdays, the martial arts competition is on the specially built martial arts platform on the roof, firstly, the terrain is towering, and ordinary characters are not easy to perceive, and secondly, the material is special, and it is not easy to destroy other objects. The broken leaf did not fall, and the blood in his palm still seeped into the blade of the sword, and he was also hesitating. If you go to the top of the building, you really have to fight against the water. The place is extremely high, and even if it is extremely light, it will kill you if you fall down.

If he really can't be good today, he will never be able to be caught. Broken Leaf held the sword with one hand, and with the other hand, he drew several traces behind Princess Mingzhu, gradually turning into a leaf shape, complex and graceful. Then he turned his hand and slapped her to the side, and then said indifferently: "I have added an extra layer of imprisonment to my body." Old-timers, please. ”

Half of the bright yellow lights in the entire library have been extinguished, and they have been replaced with faint blue flames. This is a signal that there is an emergency and it is inconvenient to open and close the cabinet for the time being. Far away, Lord Shu Xiaojun saw it, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and asked the palace maid next to him: "Except for the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, I regularly do a tidying up, and the library has been calm recently, could it be that there are some precious books that have suddenly been sent into the palace in large quantities and are waiting to be deciphered?" ”

The palace maid was even more unaware than her, but for this gentle and well-behaved little master, half as a master and half as a sister, she immediately said softly: "County Lord, I'm afraid this is not something we can know, so it's better to go back first." It's cool at night. "Lord Shu wanted to borrow a biography of mountains and seas today, but he had to stop for the time being, but thinking that tomorrow, Hua Manxi would come to the palace and talk to her, he was a little excited in his heart, and nodded and said, "Okay, it's a good thing to rest early." ”

The master and servant slowly left, and Princess Mingzhu was shocked, leaning against a large black table with sour pear branches, her body seemed to be covered with a soft shield, no matter how the wind and waves in the attic were undisturbed. It's just that her heart is also very messy, and when she touches her back, she always feels stinging and itchy. Among the six old men, one followed behind her, saying that there was protection, and I was afraid that there was surveillance.

With a sword in his hand, Broken Leaf jumped up in the air, stabbing out three sword flowers, and between the flipping of his wrists, a burst of red and white smoke was faintly visible, protecting his body. The marks on his palms did not dry up and scab over, but continued to bleed, although not much, but also made his face gradually pale. At this moment, he was under a lot of pressure, and two sword intents attacked, one pointed to the eyebrows, and the other stabbed to the heart. He twisted around in mid-air to barely avoid it, and was hit by another object, and the whole person flew sideways.

Of course, he didn't agree to the old man's request to go up to the top floor to a duel. Just kidding, he is not a first-class gentleman, he will definitely die after he goes up, who wants to take such a risk. The things in the library can be pressed for the time being. Anyway, the bad fate is not solved in a moment, even if he thinks of a way, people may not appreciate it.

He drew his sword again, and the corners of his lips were stained with blood, and the faster the attack, the more these five old men seemed to have a secret method, which could form a mountain formation, and no matter where he went, he felt that he had nothing to hide, as if he was under countless pairs of eyes. Broken Leaf fell on his back, and the whole person rolled around in the ground, turning back at a very tricky angle, but unfortunately the sword body was caught as soon as it was three inches. He was not in a hurry, he immediately abandoned his sword, and a heartfelt foot flew out.

If it doesn't fall, it can't fall to the ground, the broken leaf supports the ground with one hand, and the short body points at the spine of the sword. After fighting like this for a long time, he couldn't tell the winner, but his blood flowed more and more, and finally at the time of three hundred and seventy-five moves, Broken Leaf suddenly felt a violent shock in his heart, as if something had broken his heart, and the whole person was half-kneeling on the ground.

He was caught by mistake, but fortunately, one of the three people on the top of the building, thinking that he was strange, temporarily saved his life, and with the permission of the emperor, he was imprisoned in a water prison on the basement floor. Princess Mingzhu was taken away for treatment, but the handprint behind her, as well as the food she ate, was unsolvable for a while. After the broken leaf was taken to the water prison, the whole person fainted, but still clung to the stalk. Tianyunzi, one of the three, wanted to reach out and touch it, but he let out a long roar, automatically shrunk into a silver ring, and buckled it to death on Broken Ye's wrist.

Thousands of miles away, the Linghua Palace in Qingzhou, the palace master was drinking the best blue and white brew, and when he was about to get drunk, the whole person sat up suddenly, looked out of the window, and looked in the direction of the capital.

Not to mention how these people are, Hua Manxi has been thinking about it for a long time in the Zhenguo Mansion, and he can't remember when the broken leaves disappeared. asked Shen Shao, only to learn that Broken Leaf was still holding the princess and took a look at him, and then disappeared. Princess Mingzhu has a delicate personality, and there is no one else except Shen Shao at the moment, Hua Manxi thought about it for a while, and temporarily ruled out this possibility.

However, Broken Leaf has always been a high-ranking martial arts master, and if there is something urgent to solve, it is understandable. However, tomorrow, it will be the day for her to go to the palace for a small banquet, and she has to pick two skillful and familiar maidservants, so that she can cook some big dishes. Hua Manxi was thoughtful, didn't think about it anymore, just washed up, and rested for the time being.

The banquets in the palace rarely start very early, because the nobles are also pampered, and they are not as good as the courtiers, and they have to get up early in the morning to go to the court, so it is completely too late to go to Huamanxi at noon and come back in the evening. If the Empress Dowager is happy, the last few times, she has also lived in the palace, and she also got a picture of Wanfu and longevity that the Empress Dowager likes, which has aroused a lot of discussion and jealousy. Hua Manxi stuck out her tongue in her heart and said, although it is beautiful, but in her eyes, it is still not as fragrant as a dish.

Today's wind and sun are beautiful, she got up early, and wanted to go to the palace early to prepare some ingredients first. There is also the little county lord of Nashu, who has not been seen since the autumn hunt. Hua Manxi thought that she was young and helpless in this palace, and she also felt that it was very rare, so she prepared some gadgets to bring to her, including some incense pills made by herself, which she and Wang Shishi had recently been idle and made up by themselves.

Made by yourself, in short, compared with the ones sold outside, with less fireworks and more floral fragrance, it is correspondingly preserved for a long time. This incense pill is made of thick tips at the top and thick at the bottom, so when lit, some of the smoke will drift down, like a hazy moon waterfall, which is extremely moving. After several maids tried it, they all said that the young lady was skillful. Hua Manxi came to his kitchen first, ready to pick two clever maids to accompany him, but saw a somewhat familiar slender figure.

She was taken aback, called out to the person, and turned around, but there was no resemblance to her. Hua Manxi breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, suspecting that he was too careful. The women of this dynasty are thin and beautiful, and women of this figure are also everywhere on the street, how can it be the nine princesses. It's just that this face has really never been seen, so Hua Manxi asked a few words casually. Because he is a cook, in this town, the status of the cook is rising, and not everyone can come to the kitchen.

The maid was very respectful, but her voice was slightly low and hoarse, and a little intermittent: "Qiyu...... Madam, my name is Xiaorong, and I went to Beijing with my sister to join my uncle, but unfortunately I have already moved and I can't find it. My sister is seriously ill again, and I ...... The silver was exhausted, and he had to be sold into slavery and entered the national government. Fortunately, the people in the house ...... Kind, not only gave a lot of money, but after my sister got better, she also went in, and in the house, I would make a silver wire roll, roll hydrangea, so I was specially approved to come to the kitchen to do things. ”

Rolling hydrangea most of the time, it is floured meat, dumplings, silver threads, Hua Manxi is thinking, is it the kind of extremely delicious and thin fish, or particularly tender bean sprouts, but at the moment is busy, I don't care about appreciating her cooking skills, so I have to laugh and say: "Since you have such skills, you might as well follow me into the palace today." You don't have to be nervous, just give me a hand. All the nobles in the palace are good-tempered, as long as you don't collide at will, you can talk well, if you do well, I will ask you to be a big girl, how about it? ”

That Xiao Rong was stunned, and it seemed that he hesitated for a long time before he said slowly: "The young lady's kindness, Xiao Rong is very moved, but my sister has recently relapsed into an old illness." When I'm done, I'm going to ...... Decoction medicine, please forgive me, it is inconvenient to go, young lady forgive me. She said so, although Hua Manxi was a little disappointed, she could understand, and she didn't hold anyone to talk anymore, waved her hand, and let her go by herself. I picked two from the maids who waited on weekdays, one was called Qingsong and the other was Biyun.

Wang Shishi has some shops to check the accounts today, and it is inconvenient to accompany her there. Hua Manxi got into the carriage, and after another half an hour, he stopped in front of the palace gate. The coachman handed out the sign of his companion, and the guard lifted the curtain of the car again, and looked inside twice, as if he was sure that he could not hide anyone, and then ordered to let him go. Hua Manxi was a little strange, and couldn't help but ask Lao Huang who was driving.
