Chapter 240: To Each His Own Mind

King Xian's Mansion, the county lord's room.

Ah Zi lay on the boudoir bed, biting her lip lightly, looking sullen.

Bai Yu leaned over and asked softly:

"County Lord, the prince has sent people to urge many times, if you don't go to the banquet, I'm afraid it's not appropriate?..."

Ah Zi got up, sat on the edge of the bed, and glared at Bai Yu angrily, "What kind of banquet, I won't go anywhere... Unless Daddy releases Luo Gongzi and them, I will continue to go on hunger strike..."

"County Lord, this can't be helped, it's not a joke to be hungry..."Bai Yu looked frightened.

"Hmph, Bai Yu, you go back and tell your father, just say that if he doesn't let him go, I, Ji Ningzi, will never pay attention to him again for the rest of my life..."

Ah Zi made up his mind to fight his father to the end, but it was difficult for Bai Yu.

"The county lord... This..."

Seeing that Bai Yu was still hesitating, Ah Zi suddenly became angry, touched an embroidered pillow in her hand, grabbed it and threw it to the door, and shouted at the same time:

"I'm so angry, Bai Yu, who the hell are you with?...

A big hand happened to catch the pillow thrown by Ah Zi, and King Xian frowned slightly and flashed in.

As soon as Bai Yu saw that it was King Xian coming, he immediately hid aside and whispered, "Hello prince..."

King Xian gave Bai Yu a look, and Bai Yu was relieved and hurriedly retreated.

But Ah Zi deliberately glanced at his father, turned around, snorted coldly, and stopped looking at him.

King Xian was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and then put on a kind look, slowly came over, and sat next to Ah Zi.

"Why, are you still angry with your father?..." King Xian asked tentatively.

Ah Zi's mouth pursed, and her face did not change, "Daddy, can't you see it?"

King Xian was choked by Ah Zi's words, and smiled bitterly, embarrassed.

"Ah Zi, my father knows that you like that kid surnamed Luo, but you also know that he is just a little Taoist, and we are not in the right household..."

"Daddy, I just like him, you can watch it..."Ah Zi suddenly interjected.

"Alas... When you were young, your father quietly sent you to the chess fairy to refine your chess skills, in order to let you know how to read and reason, but who knew that it would backfire..."

Ah Zi heard his father mention his master, as if he remembered something, and his expression darkened:

"Daddy, Master has passed away... It's my sister who has been teaching me, and I hid it from you before, I'm sorry..."

"What..."King Xian stood up, his face incredulous, "You mean, the chess immortal Tu Xuyuan has been..."

"Master has been strangled by the seven people who killed Mei..."Ah Zi didn't dare to look up at his father.

"Is it the Seven Killing Mei? In this way, for so many years, it has been the Thousand Faces God Wei Lianxing who has been teaching you?The Seven Killing Mei killed the chess immortal, such a big thing, it was hidden so deeply by them, it seems that there is some big conspiracy?..." King Xian squinted at Ah Zi, wanting to hear her continue to explain.

Ah Zi dodged his father's gaze, and then said, "Daddy, don't ask, only the master knows about this matter..."

"No wonder you suddenly returned to the imperial capital, is it the people who killed Mei Seven who are following you closely?Ah Zi, don't go out during this time, stay here here for your father in peace..."After King Xian finished speaking, he turned his head and was about to leave.

"Daddy..."Ah Zi stood up, wanting to make a final effort, "Please let Luo Gongzi and them go, Ah Zi will definitely be obedient to you in the future..."

King Xian turned his back to Ah Zi, hesitated for a while, and finally sighed:

"Ah Zi, don't blame your father for being ruthless, you have a great responsibility, don't disrupt the plan for these children... By the way, that dragon turned out to be a dragon, I have taken good care of her, and I can let her go back tomorrow. As for that Luo Fanchen and Zhou Wenqing... I'll have to think about it..."

With that, King Xian strode to the door, and without listening to Ah Zi's call, he opened the door and left.

Ah Zi stomped his feet angrily and sat down heavily, but he looked helpless.

She thought for a moment, her eyes rolled, and her eyes suddenly lit up:

"Daddy, don't blame your daughter, if you want to blame, blame you for being too strict..."

*********** *********

Xiao He and the three of them were led into a large hall by the little maid, which was brilliantly lit, warm as spring, and filled with a cheerful atmosphere, which made them all secretly surprised.

Rows of small wine tables line the red carpet in the center, enough to hold three people at the same time. A beautiful barmaid sits respectfully on one side of each table. At the end of this bright red carpet are eight steps, a golden chair is arranged on the high platform, a special wine table, and a huge screen at the back, on which is painted a picture of "the rivers and mountains bathing in red", and the continuous mountains are rendered by a round of rising sun, which is really majestic and intriguing.

There were already a lot of guests sitting at the small wine table under the high platform, and Xiao He looked at it and found a few familiar people.

"Second Highness is also here?"

Xiao He sat on Lu Yansheng's left side, and when he saw the young man behind the wine table opposite, he couldn't help blurting out.

When Ji Yan saw Xiao He, he was also stunned, and then smiled, "Xiao Gongzi, don't come to harm... Haha...."

Xiao He bowed to Ji Yan, and then introduced the two people around him, "Second Highness, this is Lu Yansheng, Lu Tanhua... That is Xu Tong of the Qingfeng Sect, my eldest brother..."

Xu Tong and Lu Yansheng bowed to Ji Yan, after all, they are the current princes, and the number of courtesies is also indispensable.

"You don't have to be polite, this is the Xianwang Mansion, we are all guests..."Ji Yan nodded slightly.

"Xiao He, last time I lost to you in the scramble, when will I get back on the field?..."

Zhu Potian opened his mouth and smiled, looking at Xiao He.

"Brother Zhu, last time it was the younger brother who won half a trick by luck... If the eldest brother is interested, I will accompany the younger brother at any time..."

"Haha... It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

Xiao He and Zhu Potian are both cheerful people, and they both have some good feelings for each other, but this Ji Yan is really unpredictable, and Xiao He is also a little vigilant.

"Xiao Zhenren, I didn't expect that you actually knew His Second Highness?" Lu Yansheng instantly had a big change in his opinion of Xiao He.

"Nerds, we cultivators are not simple martial artists... Brother Xiao is a person with a great opportunity, and this time I asked you to come to the Xianwang Mansion to teach you a lesson, so as not to make a mistake in the officialdom..."Xu Tong instructed the maid to pour himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

Lu Yansheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed to Xiao He and Xu Tong:

"I see, it's the Xiaosheng pattern that is too small, and this time there is a place for Xiaosheng, despite the command..."

"Lu Tanhua, don't be polite, as long as you see King Xian, you can say the right thing at the right time..."Xiao He smiled bitterly, thinking in his heart how Xu Tong could be so.

Just when everyone was familiar with each other, a woman's scream broke the peace, and a red-clothed maid cried and hid her face and hurriedly retreated.

"Little lady... Hey, why are you running so fast, aren't you just touching it? Little Marquis, I'm in the mood today, I'll be happy to see you again in the evening, haha..."

The little marquis finally stood up, he stroked his round belly, and laughed lewdly.

Although everyone scoffed at Xiao Houye's behavior, they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and Ji Yan was not moved in the slightest, he took a sip of the wine glass, but Yu Guang never left Xiao He and them.

Xiao He frowned, his fists clenched tightly.

Xu Tong saw Xiao He's action in his eyes, but he slowly shook his head, and at the same time picked up a kernel and threw it into his mouth:

"Young Marquis Yang is not easy to mess with, he is Old Marquis Yang, and he has made special military exploits for the Ji family. Moreover, the elder sister of the old marquis Yang is also the mother of the eldest prince, the current queen, with this relationship alone, he can walk sideways in the imperial city..."

Xiao He sneered, obviously disapproving, "That's also with the help of his Lao Tzu's exploits, this little marquis I have caught in Yihong Mansion before, and I just live a *..."

"What? Brother Xiao has also been to Yihong Mansion?" Xu Tong was very surprised, "How does it feel inside, is it different from the taste of Liangzhou?...'s flower wine?"

Xiao He felt Xu Tong's blazing eyes, and then remembered that this guy was essentially half a catty and eight taels with the little marquis.

"Uh... Xiao Sheng still thinks it's more appropriate for the two of you to sit together..."

Lu Yansheng blushed and moved to Xiao He's left side, extremely embarrassed. And Xiao He was not polite, and made up for Xu Tong to make room for Lu Yansheng.

"Hey... I said over there, yes, it's you... Lend me your maid, okay?" The little marquis lost the maid who accompanied the wine, so he opened his mouth to ask for it at the other tables.

With the lessons of the past, all the maids present were obviously disgusted with this little marquis and avoided him, and the person who was asked for naturally did not pay attention to it.

"Huh?!Did I say you're deaf? This little marquis said, I want your maid, hurry up and hand her over to me...

The little marquis was really angry, and he was about to move his fat body to grab it, but at this moment, the black sect leader behind him reached out and stopped him.

"Eldest Prince, this is King Xian's territory, let's better restrain it... Besides, the subordinates just felt a strong force pressure, as if it was a signal to the subordinates..."

Before the head of the Black Sect finished speaking, a red-robed military general appeared majestically from the backstage, standing in front of the screen, it turned out to be the red-robed chief soldier who had confronted Luo Fanchen before, and the military pressure just now must have been issued by him.

The little marquis sat down slowly, but he was still unconvinced.

"Haha... You're almost here, aren't you? The feast will begin immediately!"

A tall old man also appeared in front of the screen, he was wearing a dragon robe, magnificent, and majestic.

"Chitose Kenoh~"

Many people who were lower than the rank of King Xian hurriedly got up and called out in unison. And the other nobles also bowed their hands, showing respect.

King Xian sat firmly on the golden chair and stroked his long beard with a smile:

"Steward Cai, hurry up and serve good wine and food to all the guests, and in addition, call the dancing girls to help the big guys..."
