In the mountains and mountains at the junction of the Great Zhou and Dayan, there is a mysterious valley, called "Tianji Valley", everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Tianjizi is a capable person from Tianji Valley, but many people have only heard of the name "Tianji Valley", but no one has ever been able to reach Tianji Valley in person to take a look.

Some people say that the Valley of Heavenly Machines does not exist in the mundane world at all.

Some people also say that there is a miasma around Tianji Valley, and no one who approaches it survives, so naturally no one can enter the valley.

Some people even analyzed that Qimen Dunjia must have been arranged around Tianji Valley, and idlers couldn't crack it, so they couldn't find the gate of Tianji Valley, and they couldn't see the fairy palace of Tianji Valley.

At this time, Xiao Xiao was sitting on a small horse at the door of a grass hut in the deep mountains at the junction of Zhou and Yan, staring at the young man in front of him who was like a crown of jade but wearing a patch robe with a dark face, took the cup dug out of wood from his hand, took a sip, and spit out two or three tea stalks.

"You said that you are also a disciple of Tianjizi! Your master is a rake who holds money, but you are a ghost who will feel distressed when you light the lamp for a while, how can your master do this kind of person! What is this broken tea leaves? It's also for people to eat? ”

He put down the wooden cup in disgust and pointed to the barren firewood and straw sheds and sparse fence walls around him, as well as the vegetable patches that had just been manure.

"This is all your belongings in Tianjimen? If those people outside knew that Tianji Valley was such a poor and sour person, you nominal head still wore patched clothes, and you didn't laugh off your big teeth! ”

Mu Jinghu looked at Xiao Xiao expressionlessly, poured the bowl of coarse old tea that Xiao Xiao disliked into his wooden cup, took a sip slowly, and then said in a slow voice: "My master refuses to admit that I am her apprentice, and I am only allowed to call her uncle." ”

This was the first time he heard Mu Jinghu mention this, and he asked curiously, "Oh? Why won't your master admit it? Is it because you're too woody? Or is it because you're too picky? ”

Mu Jinghu took another sip of tea, carefully smashed the tea fragrance in his mouth, and then said: "Back then, the master accepted the master as an apprentice and taught martial arts, but the master was too lazy to learn, teaching medicine, the master was too lazy to learn, teaching Taoism, and the master was too lazy to learn. ”

Mu Jinghu lowered his head, "Master said that Master's temperament will stir up trouble when he enters the world in the future, and he is too lazy to learn martial arts to defend himself, so he picked me up from outside and taught me martial arts and medical skills." At first, I wanted to call Shizu 'Master', but Shizu pushed me to Master, saying, 'I am not teaching you for myself, I am also teaching you to protect her, she is your Master, and you are learning martial arts and medicine to save her life in the future.'" So I called Master 'Master' again, but Master thought I was troublesome and refused to recognize me, saying that it would be better for me to call her Uncle Shi, and if Master accepted another little apprentice in the future, I would be her junior apprentice. ”

Huzi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't even know that the tea stalks were chewed and swallowed.

Xiao Xiao laughed when he heard it, "This seems to be what Tianjizi can say, except for the wooden point, stay a little, be honest, be stupid, and pick the door, there are no other shortcomings, why does your master refuse to want you, and you have to be her nephew." ”

Mu Jinghu raised his head and asked for a while: "You have already said that I have so many shortcomings, no wonder the master refuses to ask me as an apprentice." ”

"Haha!" The owl was amused by the wood and laughed out loud again.

Huzi also laughed: "Then Mu Gongzi's ancestor has accepted a little apprentice again?" ”

Mu Jinghu shook his head honestly: "I don't know." The ancestor Shenlong has not seen the head but not the tail, and it has not been seen for many years. ”

Xiao Xiao laughed and sighed, "Wood, this time I'm here to let you fulfill the gambling contract." ”

"Fox, I know. Otherwise, you won't be able to find me. Mu Jinghu put down the wooden cup and said seriously: "I'll help you do things this time, and then we'll settle it." ”

"Good. Deal. ”

"You're a fox, you're so cunning, I don't believe you." Mu Jinghu took out half a piece of paper from his sleeve, wrote a note with blackened charcoal on it, and handed it to Xiao Xiao: "You press your handprint." ”

Xiao Xiao looked at the half of the cold paper, and said speechlessly: "Even if you want to set up a note, you can't find a better piece of paper." As he spoke, he smeared some charcoal and put a handprint. ”

Mu Jinghu was relieved at this time, took the note into his arms, and said, "You say, what's the matter?" ”

"Wood. I want to ask you to help me protect someone. Someone who is very important to me. I kept her until I took her to me. ”

Mu Jinghu nodded, didn't ask who the other party had offended, why did he let him go out to protect him, nor did he ask when he would pick up the other party to his side, let alone think that this matter would cause him any trouble, so he just nodded and said, "What is his name and where does he live?" ”

"Her surname is Qin, her maiden name is Yining, she is fifteen years old, she lives in the Anping Marquis Mansion in Dayan Kyoto, and is the daughter of Qin Meng, the Marquis of Anping. Row four in the family. ”

"Female?" Mu Jinghu was finally a little surprised.

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded: "Yes, she will be my wife in the future." ”

"Oh." Mu Jinghu nodded, "It must be another fox." ”

Hearing this, he laughed again.

How the Xiao Xiao is deployed in Liangcheng here, the people in Dayan Kyoto Chengzhong are unknown.

At this time, in the palace, the queen listened to the reply of her personal attendant, her face was already flushed with anger, and she was furious and smashed everything that could be dropped in her sight, and in the blink of an eye, Fengyi Palace was like being ransacked by robbers, broken porcelain was all over the ground, coral ornaments were overturned, incense burners also fell to the ground, jewelry boxes were also overturned, huge strings of east beads were torn off, and beads rolled all over the ground.

The palace people trembled one by one, kneeling in the corner with their necks bent, for fear of being affected by the queen's anger.

Even so, the queen couldn't alleviate the anger in her heart a little, and kicked over the little chamberlain kneeling next to her feet, and kicked the teenage chamberlain to roll in place.

The queen gritted her teeth and cursed, "Damn Tianjizi! How dare you play tricks on Hongu! ”

The confidant eunuch who replied persuaded in a low voice: "Don't be annoyed, the queen mother, Tianjizi may have other things to do, leave for the time being, and it is unknown if he will come back in a few days, you also know that this kind of person is usually a dragon who sees the beginning and does not see the end." What's more, Tianjizi still has to serve the emperor's elixir. She didn't dare to leave Kyoto for too long. ”

The queen said angrily: "If she dares to come back, I will directly peel his skin!" ”

The waiter smiled: "Niangniang is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, even if you want to pick up the bald skin, you have to take care of the emperor, right?" You will dissipate your anger first, the national lord said, please don't be impatient, just press your heart, who dares to make the mother unhappy, the national grandfather is in mind, you are the emperor's top person, is the pearl of the country's palm, who dares to provoke you, didn't you provoke the two most powerful men in the world? They're not good! Why did the mother bother with these people. ”

The inner servant has served the queen for many years, and knows the two most proud things in the queen's life, the first is to be born in the Cao family, and the second is to marry the Son of Heaven and become the main palace. This comforting and reassuring sentence contains the two things that poke the queen's heart the most, and the queen feels much better.

"You old fellow, you know that you have a sweet mouth." The queen sighed and said, "That's it, you ask someone to pick up everything, the emperor may come later, and the palace must first dress up and take over." ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go."
