Five days later, King Wen's Palace.

Pushing open the heavy hall door, Yao Ruoyu slowly walked out of his dormitory, looking up at the bright sunshine, a happy smile on the corner of his lips.

In the past few days of retreat and practice, he finally refined all the skills of Meng Ge, Demon Heavenly Sin, Tutuha, and Wokotai, and also refined his body to the level of the Seven Realms and Four Realms.

It's just that if there are seven realms at this moment, you only need to sense it slightly, and you can be surprised to find that Yao Ruoyu, who was still a fourfold of the seven realms before the retreat, is now only one of the seven realms, and even when he inhales and breathes, his skills are slowly regressing, falling towards the level of the half-step seven realms.

When returning from Lanzhou, Zou Buyi suggested that Yao Ruoyu think of a suggestion to rebuild the realms, and Yao Ruoyu always kept it in mind, but at that time, Mongolia went south, and it was not easy to disperse the practice of the body, so it was delayed until this return.

Seeing Yao Ruoyu walking out of the dormitory, a Tiance guard stepped up quickly, knelt down on one knee in front of the steps, and said solemnly: "Lord Wang, two days ago, someone from the Ministry of Rites of the Song Dynasty came, because the prince was in retreat, so Lord Guo was entertaining them for the past two days. ”

"It's time to come," Yao Ruoyu smiled and asked, "Did Lord Guo say what they came for?"

Master Guo didn't say. The Heavenly Guard shook his head.

"Got it, let Master Guo continue to receive them, don't pay attention to it. With a wave of his hand, Yao Ruoyu's figure flashed, and he had already escaped into the shadow of the steps next to him, and in an instant, he had crossed most of the palace of King Wen and came to the ministry.

The offices of the six departments of Dawen City-State are all on the left and right sides of the square outside the Qiantian Temple, of which the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War are located on the right side, and the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Works are located on the left.

Yao Ruoyu's sudden appearance startled the Tiance guards stationed in the ministry, but when they saw that it was Yao Ruoyu, they all immediately hugged their fists and saluted, the former waved his hand and walked into the front hall of the ministry.

The front hall of the ministry is divided into four small halls, separated by a corridor after the door enters, Wu Liang, Ji Chang, Yuan Ren and other directors are working in the middle of the four halls, and through the front hall, over a screen, is the office of Xu Xuanrong, Wang Dehou, Yang Jialiang.

Without alarming the others, Yao Ruoyu quietly came to the door of Xu Xuanrong's office, signaled the guards at the door not to speak, straightened his clothes, and then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in. ”

Xu Xuanrong was in the office, and when he heard a knock on the door, he shouted casually, and when the door opened, he glanced up, his movements were stagnant, and his eyes were a little happy, but when he saw that there were two guards outside the door, he immediately recovered his indifferent look.

Seeing her face change twice in an instant, Yao Ruoyu was overwhelmed, and after crossing the threshold, she closed the door with her hand, and said with a smile: "Just out of the customs." ”

Xu Xuanrong smiled: "Well, I'm dealing with affairs, you can sit casually first." ”

Seeing the bright smile on the woman's face, Yao Ruoyu's heart seemed to be melted, nodded slightly, and then walked to the sofa next to him and sat down.

After half a pillar of incense, Xu Xuanrong folded the last official document and put it aside, and just let out a breath, a towel was already handed to him.

Glancing at Yao Ruoyu, who was grinning, Xu Xuanrong took the towel with a smile, wiped his face and returned it to him: "How is it?"

She asked without a beginning or an end, but Yao Ruoyu seemed to understand her question, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, I have already refined all the skills of Meng Ge and them, and now the physique has been strengthened to about the four levels of the Seven Realms, and the strength is slowly dissipating into the physique." ”

Xu Xuanrong snorted, and frowned slightly: "But don't use it all to temper your physique, after all, no one knows if there will be a sudden war next, and we still need your combat power in Wenbang." ”

"I know this," Yao Ruoyu put the towel on the basin next to her, Yao Ruoyu made her a new cup of tea, and said with a smile, "After retreating to the Six Realms, I will seal my skills and start cultivating from the First Realm again." ”

"If you want to re-cultivate to the Seven Realms, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time, right?" Xu Xuanrong frowned.

Yao Ruoyu smiled slightly and replied: "Fortunately, the main thing is that I have already obtained some of the farmer's classics from Jingru, which is not the top, but with my current realm, I can deduce part of the essence of the farmer's family with a little deduction, plus using the Heavenly Dao of Ending as a seed, it is enough for me to rebuild a realm to reach the first in the world in a realm." ”

Xu Xuanrong held the teacup and said in a deep voice: "Confucianism and the Yin-Yang family are easy to say, Confucian exercises are all over the world, and they can be easily obtained. ”

"It's okay for the Mo family to say, it's great to find a way to exchange things with them," Yao Ruoyu frowned slightly, and said helplessly, "It's just that the miscellaneous family and the famous family are a little troublesome, these two families have been in decline for many years, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find their classics to circulate." ”

The corners of his lips curled slightly, Xu Xuanrong looked at him with a smile, Yao Ruoyu hadn't reacted at first, but when he saw the beautiful woman's playful gaze, he suddenly came to his senses and said in surprise: "You found it?"

"Of course!" Xu Xuanrong smiled, took out a roll of ancient bamboo slips from his sleeve and put it on the table, and said with a smile, "After I came back, I sent people to search around for the exercises and classics of miscellaneous families and famous families, and it was a coincidence that Xu Yanli was born in a miscellaneous family, although her teacher was only half-baked, but there were also a lot of miscellaneous things, and I exchanged those things with her with a set of Confucian fifth-class exercises." ”

Yao Ruoyu grabbed the bamboo slip and unfolded it and hurriedly glanced at it a few times, his face was full of surprise: "Although they are all fragments of the east scales and west claws, but it is enough, thank you, Meng Mengda!"

Glancing at him with disgust, Xu Xuanrong thought that he was blaming him for seeing him, Yao Ruoyu also smirked when he saw this, put the bamboo slip into the Qiankun ring, and said, "You have nothing to do now, right?

"Okay!" Xu Xuanrong's eyes bent slightly, and she stood up with a smile and came to Yao Ruoyu's side.

Yao Ruoyu turned his head to look, the familiar side face, like the bright eyes of autumn water, the slightly upturned little nose, the slightly open red lips, that detail was once deeply imprinted in his heart, and he went around for several years, never thinking that the other party was finally standing beside him.

Seeing Yao Ruo looking at him stupidly, Xu Xuanrong's face was slightly red, and he said angrily: "Have you seen enough?"

"It's not enough, it's not enough for a lifetime......," Yao Ruoyu said softly.

Blinking his eyes, Xu Xuanrong turned his head a little shyly, and scolded with a smile: "Good earthy love words, let's go!"

Hmm, Yao Ruoyu smiled and turned around to push open the door, but he didn't want to just take a few steps forward, and already a warm and soft little hand reached into his hand, he was suddenly stunned, and then smiled lightly, silently holding the little hand, ten fingers interlocked, as if the hearts of the two were firmly locked together.

Pushing the door out, Yao Ruoyu pulled Xu Xuanrong and walked out of the ministry slowly, and the officials and guards along the way, but whenever they noticed the clasped hands of the two, they were all stunned, and then looked at them in surprise.

Minister Xu, who used to be calm and dashing, has become a quail at this moment, and his head is barely shrunk into his neck, that is, Yao Ruoyu is thick-skinned, and while smiling and enjoying everyone's congratulatory eyes, he pulled Yao Ruoyu to walk outside the ministry.

The news that the head of the Great Wen Gong and the minister of the Ministry of Officials traveled hand in hand soon spread throughout the entire Sixth Ministry and even the high-level officials of the Wenbang.

In the evening, Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong had just returned to King Wen's Palace, and they had been surrounded by Wu Xue, Li Huan, Hu Xian, Fan Difei, Chen Meng, Cai Xudong, Han Yiqi and others who had been waiting for a long time, and then dragged them to the Qiantian Palace.

That scene is not an exaggeration to say that it is a three-session trial.

After a long toss, the so-called group of relatives and friends represented by Wu Xue and Cai Xudong finally "tortured" all the ways in which the relationship between the two was determined.

However, in the end, Cai Xudong, who called himself the "old father", kindly asked when the two would get married.

As a result, it was naturally a certain "old father" who was kicked away by Yao Ruoyu.

These are all frolicking little things, and being able to see Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong come together is the most joyful for everyone in the Literature and Art Department.

Originally, the people of the Great Song Rite Department who received the news of Yao Ruoyu's appearance wanted to come over to meet them as soon as possible, but despite their large numbers, they still failed to squeeze into the crowd composed of everyone in the Literature and Art Department, and could only watch Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong being dragged away by Cai Xudong and others.

In desperation, these people could only stand outside the Qiantian Temple and wait, and it was not that they didn't want to rush in immediately, but they just saw the Tiance guards who came over with swords and cold eyes, and this group of scholars who had always boasted of being merry and talented were not willing to send them to death.

After waiting for more than an hour, they saw Cai Xudong and the others coming out of the Qiantian Hall with a smile, but there was no Yao Ruoyu in the group.

The people of the Great Song Rite Department, who had been waiting for several days, could no longer hold back their patience, and ran up one after another to ask Yao Ruoyu's whereabouts, only to know that the other party had returned to the dormitory from the back door of the Qiantian Palace.

Just when everyone in the Great Song Dynasty Rite Department was hanging their heads outside the Qiantian Palace, Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong had quietly left the Wenwang Palace and came to a mountain a few miles away from Chengdu Mansion.

There were four people standing on the top of the hill, a middle-aged man and three young men, all acquaintances.

Chu Crazy Song!Zhang Ziqiang!Li Yijian!Chu Zheng!

When he was in the Qiantian Palace before, Yao Ruoyu sensed the qi deliberately released by Chu Yangge, so he hurriedly ended the small talk and rushed over with Xu Xuanrong.

However, seeing that Zhang Ziqiang and Li Yijian were also there, Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately flashed out, and said with a smile: "Ziqiang!

"Brother Yao!"

"Cute!"

Seeing Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong, Zhang Ziqiang and Li Yijian were also full of smiles, and hurriedly greeted them.

The four of them laughed a few words, and Yao Ruoyu came to Chu Crazy Ge and Chu Zheng, hugged his fists and said, "I've seen the King of Chu." ”

"I've seen King Wen. Chu Zheng bowed his hand beside him, and Yao Ruoyu returned the salute with a fist.

After the two of them finished greeting, Chu Madge said with a smile: "You are leisurely, I heard that Zhang Tao has been here for several days, and he has been setting up a dragon gate array with your Guo Fengjie in the Ministry of Rites." ”

Because Chu Yangge came with Zhang Ziqiang and Li Yijian, Yao Ruoyu also knew that the other party was not here to do it, but he was not very stage frightened, and said with a smile: "I'm not good at diplomacy, since that's the case, just ask for * to be good at it." ”

Chu Yangge smiled faintly: "This king is here mainly for two things, the first thing you can guess is for Chongqing, and the second thing is to establish an alliance with your Wenbang on behalf of our dynasty." ”
