Xiao Yuan returned to the room, thinking about what had happened in the past two days, and was a little overwhelmed.

Under the teacher's teaching for ten years, I can always maintain a calm heart under any circumstances, but now I find that my calm heart is like being thrown into a pebble, setting off a circle of ripples, and I can't calm down for a long time, and this stone is so big.

At the same time, I also understand that what should come will come, but I just hope to give myself a little time.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, Brother Xiao Yuan, are you there? Ling'er is coming to you. ”

Xiao Yuan was pondering in the room, and was interrupted by Ling'er's coquettish voice,

Walking to the door, I saw Ling'er running from the main palace with a half-eaten sugar gourd in her hand, and the confusion in my heart was removed a lot, and I smiled and said to Ling'er in front of me, "Ling'er, where are you stealing to play again?" I am afraid that Aunt Hua will find out and swim around with me, and Aunt Hua will find out that you are out to play, so you will say that you came to me to ask for advice on studying." ”

Ling'er was sweating profusely and pouted her little mouth and said disapprehensively, "No, I'm here specifically to find Brother Xiao Yuan, and when Ling'er passed by West Street, I bought two strings of sugar gourds, one for you and one for Ling'er, but Ling'er's string was a little small, and I ate it on the road, so I couldn't help but taste your string, which was much better than my string, and Ling'er was not willing to eat it and left it for you." ”

Xiao Yuan smiled even more, touched Ling'er's head and said, "Yes, yes, yes, thank you Ling'er, on such a hot day, Ling'er ran from the East Street of her house to the West Street to buy sugar gourds for Brother Xiao Yuan to eat, and returned to the East Palace, which is less than a hundred meters away from her house, to find Brother Xiao Yuan." Brother Xiao Yuan is so moved!"

Ling'er was slightly embarrassed and said, "Well, yes, Brother Xiao Yuan, I'm tired of Ling'er!" said and sent the remaining half of the sugar gourd in his hand to his mouth.

Xiao Yuan shook his head and said to Xiao Linzi, who had just come with him, "Xiao Linzi, you go and inform the kitchen to make a pot of tea, and then make some snacks and bring them together." ”

Xiao Linzi saluted slightly, "Okay, His Royal Highness the Prince, will I send you to the study later?" Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "Well, you can go!" Xiao Linzi got up and retreated, "Minion, let's do it." ”

Xiao Yuan turned his head, and Ling'er, who looked doting, said, "Let's go to the study to rest!"

Ling'er raised her head and said to Xiao Yuan, "Is there anything interesting in the study? You are either reading or reading in the palace every day, so I can't sit still! Why don't you go to play with me Brother Xiao Yuan, let's go eat delicious food!"

Xiao Yuan pretended to have a serious expression and said, "Don't go, you have to go to Ling'er by yourself, when the time comes, Aunt Hua will send someone to ask me, saying that Ling'er has sneaked out to play by herself, what should I do if you go back?"

With that, Xiao Yuan walked to the study. Ling'er followed Xiao Yuan's footsteps behind, hugged Xiao Yuan's arm, looked up and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao Yuan, don't be angry, Ling'er is joking, Ling'er was originally looking for Brother Xiao Yuan, Ling'er doesn't want to go anywhere, it's good to have Brother Xiao Yuan with you." ”

Saying that, the two walked into the study, Ling'er sat on the chair in the study at once, and the whole person was spread on it, and said weakly, "I'm tired, it's so hot outside, your study is so cool, I don't want to go out, I want to sleep well." ”

Xiao Yuan stood aside and said with a smile, "If you want to sleep, go to sleep, and I'll call you when it's time for lunch." ”

Ling'er shook her head and said, "No, my mother said, don't let me run around during this time, this time for the envoys of the two countries to come to Beijing, the emperor specially summoned the eldest prince back to Beijing to manage public security, let me go out less, don't cause trouble with her." ”

Xiao Yuan was shocked, and secretly thought, "Didn't my father leave all these things to me?" and I want the emperor's brother to do this, maybe my father doesn't believe me, but it's okay!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, tea and snacks have been served, can I go in?" Xiao Linzi whispered outside. Xiao Yuan calmed down and said, "Come in!" Xiao Linzi pushed the door and walked in, put the snacks and tea on the desk, and withdrew.

Ling'er picked up the herbal tea on the table, drank several cups, and said, "Xiao Linzi is still so sensible, I know that Miss Ben likes to drink herbal tea." ”

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Maybe Brother Xiao Yuan specifically asked him to do this!"

Ling'er put down the teacup and said coquettishly, "Really, Brother Xiao Yuan, I know that you are the best for me!"

"Alright, hurry up and try this pastry, it's your favorite food!"

Ling'er picked up a piece of pastry on the table and stuffed it into her mouth, and said with a whining, "Brother Xiao Yuan, do you know? When my father came back in the morning to talk to Lord Liu, who came to the mansion, he said, the emperor rewarded the eldest prince with the only remaining martial arts pill in our Great Zhou Dynasty, and the eldest prince should soon break through to the innate realm, and then even if he faces a master in the middle of the innate stage, he will have the power to fight." ”

Xiao Yuan was not surprised to hear this news again, the eldest prince of Yan State had already broken through to the innate realm, and since his father had recalled the eldest prince back to Beijing to preside over the defense of Beijing, he must have taken countermeasures.

stepped forward and touched Ling'er's head, and said with a smile: "Don't ask so much about adults, children, no matter when, Brother Xiao Yuan will not let Ling'er be hurt a little." ”

"I'm not a child! After saying that, Ling'er walked out angrily.

Xiao Yuan shook his head with a smile and didn't catch up. Let Ling'er leave. Sitting in the position where Ling'er had just done, he closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Xiao Linzi shouted outside the door, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, when it's time for lunch, do you send it to the study to eat or do you move to the lobby to eat?"

Xiao Yuan opened his eyes, rubbed his eyes, stood up, opened the door and said, "Go to the lobby!"

Xiao Yuan followed Xiao Linzi to the door of the lobby, and when he saw that there was no one at the dinner table, he asked, "Hasn't the teacher come out to eat yet?"

Xiao Lin bowed his waist and said, "The old gentleman said that he would not come out to eat, so he asked the servant to send two meals to the room." I think it's because you were canonized as the crown prince recently, the old gentleman is in a good mood and has an appetite!"

Xiao Yuan thought about it, and then said to Xiao Linzi: "Xiao Linzi, you go and buy some things for women's daily life, it's best to buy a few more of them and send them to the teacher's room." ”

Xiao Linzi asked suspiciously, "What are you doing to buy things for women for the old gentleman, the backyard has always been lived by the old gentleman himself, and he doesn't even have a maid, what do you want to do with this?" "Don't ask about this, you just do as I say." ”

Xiao Yuan said unhappily. Xiao Linzi didn't dare to say anything more, bowed down and said, "Slave, let's do it." ”

Xiao Linzi walked out of the lobby and walked straight to the palace gate, although he was puzzled, he did not dare to delay the things explained by His Royal Highness the Prince, and decided to go shopping first, and then have lunch when he came back.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, he saw an old man in green clothes coming, came to Xiao Linzi and said expressionlessly, "Let Jiang Ling come out, some debts should be repaid." ”

Xiao Linzi looked at the old man in front of him, wearing a cyan robe, carrying three knives on his back, and carrying two wine bags around his waist, with a non-angry and self-righteous momentum on his face, and he didn't dare to offend. He cautiously returned, "This is the East Palace, where the prince lives, and there is nothing called Jiang Ling in the mansion." ”

The old man pushed Xiao Linzi away, walked straight to the palace, and said fiercely, "Since he doesn't come out, I'll go in and find him." ”

Standing in the palace, the two warriors on duty blocked his way with two spears, and said, "This is the prince's mansion, and you will not be allowed to enter without a notification." ”

The old man looked at the two soldiers guarding the door and didn't say anything, grabbed the spear with both hands, and threw it back, and the two soldiers were thrown more than ten meters away, and never stood up again.

As soon as the old man in Tsing Yi stepped into the palace gate, he was surrounded by more than 20 soldiers, and one of the captains said, "Your Excellency is also a person who practices martial arts, this is the prince's mansion, do you know what the consequences of forcibly breaking into the East Palace are? ”

The old man still didn't say a word, only to see the old man's eyes flash, and immediately disappeared in front of everyone, and then appeared in front of everyone, the captain spat out a mouthful of blood and couldn't speak, and fell down with the soldiers behind him, less than a breath, more than twenty soldiers, none of them could stand in front of him.

"Who dares to be wild in the prince's mansion, if you don't want to live, you will be fulfilled. ”

As the words came, a black shadow jumped down from the roof of more than ten meters, standing in front of the old man, the old man's calm face did not change a little, and he said to himself, "In the early days of Yuanji, it is a bit interesting, is there so much of the current Yuanji Grand Master? It seems that a lot of interesting things have happened in the past ten years since I left!"

The black shadow said proudly, "I'm afraid, just grab it yourself, I can also leave you a whole corpse, otherwise I will drag you to feed the dogs." ”

The old man said lightly, "Those who want me to die are already dead, if you want to die, come here!"

The black shadow pulled out the sword on his waist and said, "Arrogant, today I will let you see the power of the Yuan Ji period, don't forget that you died in the hands of Wang Chaoyang, the heir of the Chaoyang Sword, and the green dragon came out of the water." Kill. ”

The old man didn't move and still stood in place, and in an instant, the tip of the sword had come to the old man's eyes, the old man seemed to be really scared stupid, standing there motionless, Wang Chaoyang saw that the tip of the sword was only an inch away from the old man, and smiled and said, "Go die!"

At this moment, the old man moved, stretched out a hand, and a slap was a slap that slammed Wang Chaoyang, who was a strong dragon, out of the air, and landed in the position where he had just stood, spitting blood in his mouth, and said with an indifferent expression, "There is a lot of nonsense." ”

Wang Chaoyang wanted to get up, but he only struggled a few times and fainted.

Xiao Linzi outside the palace, who couldn't believe what he saw, rubbed his eyes, the top three masters of the Great Zhou Dynasty were slapped by the old man, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they wanted to run but these two legs were as if they were disobedient, they didn't listen to the call, and they stood in place.

The old man turned around and grabbed Xiao Linzi and walked towards the palace.

Xiao Yuan heard the noise outside, and walked out just in time to see the old man walking in.

Xiao Linzi struggled on the old man's arm, and shouted with all his might, "Prince, run, Wang Chaoyang of the Yuanji period was slapped by him and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he said that he came to find Jiangling, how could there be a person named Jiang Ling in our house." You run. ”

Xiao Yuan didn't leave, and stood quietly in place.

The old man threw Xiao Linzi aside, walked up to Xiao Yuan and asked, "What about Jiang Ling, he wants to bury my daughter." Xiao Yuan clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Dare to ask, Your Excellency, is it Si Xingyu, the absolute old man?"

The old man grabbed Xiao Yuan and said, "How do you know me, let me ask you, where is Jiang Ling?
