At this moment, the sun is already high in the sky, and the gentle sunlight brings people a hint of warmth, not as hot as a few days ago, and the cool wind is wrapped in a trace of warmth, which is just right.

Li Mengzhou's face was still a little pale, but his expression was not a little panicked, but looked at Xu Hexian with a smile, and said: "There is no big difference between walking fast or slow on the road, the important thing is that you know which direction you want to go, so it's okay to go a little faster." ”

Xu Hexian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "This is very interesting, you really deserve to be the disciple of the fastest rising sword academy of the palace, I used to underestimate you." ”

He then sighed lightly, "You have Xue Wangwu behind you, and even Jiang Tingyu of the Heavenly Council is protecting you, it can be said that the luckiest thing in the capital has been encountered by you, on the surface, this is indeed an opportunity that belongs to you, but there are some opportunities that you are not capable of touching, and the so-called double-edged sword is also the truth." The more famous you are, the more people will admire you, but at the same time, you will lose a lot, and even fall into the abyss and never get up again. ”

Li Mengzhou didn't seem to understand Xu Hexian's meaning, and said: "The opportunity that belongs to me can only be mine, and no one can take it away, and I will seize this opportunity and make good use of it." There is no need for Xu Sishou to worry about me. ”

Xu Hexian looked at Li Mengzhou quietly and said with a smile: "You are much smarter than I imagined, and your luck is also very good, but luck will eventually shine one day, enjoy your next days, I have my eyes on you." ”

......

Gu Shiyan, who returned to Chaosi Lane, sat comfortably on the rattan chair under the eaves, enjoyed a moment of tranquility, looked sideways at Li Mengzhou sitting on the steps, and said softly: "Although I don't agree with Xu Hexian's words, some of what he said still has some truth. ”

"What you have to do is ultimately contrary to the thoughts of the court, and the Heavenly Council may be able to protect you, but when you are completely exposed, the Heavenly Council is also likely to be the place where you will be buried. ”

Li Mengzhou frowned slightly, and said softly: "In the capital, I don't trust anyone, and the relationship with Aunt Feng is only an interaction between neighbors, and the Yu family in the gentle township may be a kind of yearning for family affection, and the people in the palace sword courtyard should be the one I trust the most." ”

"The mountain gate itself is not as complicated as in the court, especially the sword gate, most of them have happy thoughts, and most of them are very simple people, but I know that if it is related to my own life, I trust only myself the most. ”

Gu Shiyan didn't feel that there was a problem in these words, everyone is selfish, and it is very difficult to completely trust a person in a short period of time, and even be able to give the other party's back.

And she didn't care that Li Mengzhou's name didn't appear in Li Mengzhou's words, after all, the relationship between the two people was a little weird, not very close, but they lived under the same roof, and they just regarded each other as strangers who were quite familiar in their hearts.

But sometimes it's easy to get along with people.

There must be things that hit it off at first sight, but it is unlikely that you will give your life directly to the other person.

And after a little time together, there will be some changes in the end.

Just like when Li Mengzhou abandoned her and fled, Gu Shiyan did not feel angry in her heart, but had an inexplicable trust, feeling that Li Mengzhou would definitely come back to save her, so Gu Shiyan did not resist anymore and was escorted back to Xuanzheng by Zhu Zaitian.

But this feeling is more subtle, and it does not mean that when the real face of a dead end, both parties can calmly put aside their selfishness.

Perhaps in this case, in addition to getting along day and night under the same roof for many days, it is more that two people have the same purpose, and they are both alone and need to help each other.

So under this premise, some small things that don't have to be cared about, they can selectively give their backs to each other completely.

......

Ning Haoran stood in front of the hut in the lake in the inner courtyard of the palace, reached into his arms, took out the small wooden sword handed to him by the Sword Immortal King Chengyue, and crossed the threshold with a solemn expression.

The smell of wine wafts in the hut built of green bamboo, and a light sniff will lift your spirits.

In addition to Xue Wangwei, there was also the third senior sister sitting in the room.

Two people were having breakfast.

Of course, wine is essential.

Xue Wangwu thought that instead of letting Xiao San'er come to steal wine and drink, it was better to be generous and share a pot of wine happily.

Of course, the two jugs of wine in front of the two people are quite different in terms of size and storage capacity.

Although the third senior sister still didn't have any change in her expression, she was also secretly muttering to herself that the teacher was really stingy.

Ning Haoran stepped into the door and was a little surprised when he saw this scene, after all, it was very rare for the teacher and the third senior sister to sit and drink together, because every time the third senior sister came, the teacher was very busy hiding the wine.

In addition to being reluctant to share the wine with her apprentices, it is also difficult to say how much alcohol the third senior sister has, and once she is drunk, the idea of the third senior sister writing begins to understand, for Xue Wangwei, such a boring thing as writing is tantamount to a kind of torture.

He first bowed to Xue Wangwu and said, "Teacher", and then waved his hand to the third senior sister.

The third senior sister tapped her eyebrows, there was a touch of ruddy on her cold face, and her eyes were still sober, indicating that she was not very drunk, but her red face lined up the third senior sister's rather arrogant temperament, which was a little more delicate and cute, which made people's hearts tremble slightly.

Xue Wangwu waved his hand, spit out a mouthful of wine, and said casually: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, slowly, you have already returned to the capital, but you don't go back to the mountain gate, could it be that you met some little girl on the road?"

Ning Haoran smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, don't make fun of me, it's really that Senior Brother Li is in a little trouble, so I turned around and walked away." ”

Xue Wangwu didn't ask anything, obviously very clear about what happened to Li Mengzhou in the capital, but said impatiently: "What so much, have you done what the teacher asked you to do?"

Ning Haoran took a step forward, respectfully handed the small wooden sword in his hand to Xue Wangwu, and said, "Although I have been delayed in the Sword Pavilion for a while, I have also met that Sword Immortal senior, and I have lived up to my mission. ”

Xue Wuwu took the small wooden sword and said slowly: "That sword immortal has not walked down the mountain for many years, it is a blessing that you can see him, I thought you couldn't do it, but I didn't expect you to underestimate you for the sake of the teacher." ”

Ning Haoran had a headache and thought, could it be that the teacher asked the disciple to go to the Sword Pavilion to ask for the true meaning of the Sword Immortal, just talking about it?

Xue Wangwu ignored what Ning Haoran was thinking, got up slowly, turned out a jade box out of nowhere, carefully placed the small wooden sword inside, and then found a secret place to store it well, was silent for a moment, turned to look at Ning Haoran, and said: "You came all the way back, and went to the border halfway, I think that the true meaning on the wooden sword will remain on you, even if it is just a trace of residual true meaning, it will be of great benefit to you, so you can comprehend it in the mountain gate in the near future." ”

Ning Haoran said in surprise: "Since it is the true meaning of the Sword Immortal, how dare the disciple rashly comprehend?!"

Xue Wangwu was furious, glared at him and shouted: "What do you have in your head? This little wooden sword has been on you for so long, and a trace of true meaning that has been cultivated should have been yours, even if you don't comprehend it, it will dissipate, are you an idiot?"

Ning Haoran didn't dare to speak, feeling very aggrieved.

But deep down, he was also eager to comprehend that trace of the true meaning of the Sword Immortal.

But he felt that this kind of thinking was very wrong, and when he saw the third senior sister looking up at him, Ning Haoran was slightly stunned, and then said with some surprise: "Third senior sister, if you asked me to bring it to Xu Beihan, I have already brought it, and he also asked me to help bring back a sentence to the third senior sister." ”

The third senior sister nodded, meaning you say it.

Ning Haoran exhaled and said, "He said that he is not an idiot, and he also thanked the third senior sister for thinking that he was very good-looking." ”

The third senior sister shook her head and said, "It's really an idiot." ”

She turned around and continued to drink silently, obviously not very interested, her eyes narrowed slightly, wondering if she was going to write a note about wine today.

Xue Wangwu lay on the chair and cautiously glanced at the third senior sister, feeling that she might be drunk if she drank it again, so he hurriedly beckoned to Ning Haoran and said, "Have you ever seen that woman with a clear sword heart in the Sword Pavilion?"

Ning Haoran replied: "Not only did I see it, but I also compared it to the sword. ”

Xue Wangwu said, "What do you think of this rumored sword cultivator with the highest qualifications?"

Ning Haoran recalled carefully for a moment, and said seriously: "That girl should be one year younger than Senior Brother Li, but she has already crossed the threshold of the Four Realms, although she is not my opponent, but the gap is not very big, maybe in a few years, her name will spread all over the world, the so-called Sword Sect has the highest qualification, but it is well deserved." ”

Xue Wangwu sneaked a look at the third senior sister who was already a little drunk and her face was flushed, and suddenly got up and walked out of the door, and said at the same time: "If you are interested in being a teacher, you will take a good look at your cultivation results." ”

......

In the Xuanzheng Division, Xu Hexian sat behind the bookcase, carefully watching all the processes of Li Mengzhou on the way from Shuning Town to the capital investigated by the intelligence officers, as well as everything he did after coming to the capital, and vaguely felt that there seemed to be some problems that he had ignored.

Because of the blame Li Mengzhou to kill Taijing, the matter did not succeed, but Jiang Tingyu used this to beat him on the head, and he was called to the imperial study by His Majesty the Emperor that night, and a meaningful conversation made Xu Hexian quite depressed.

It was precisely because he failed to do anything more excessive to Li Mengzhou, and Jiang Tingyu couldn't really do anything to him, but this game was a miserable defeat, and it was no better than directly falling off the position of the head of the Xuanzheng Division.

Xu Hexian was very unwilling.

He didn't know exactly what he wanted, but he repeatedly looked at the documents about Li Mengzhou's past, and sat like this all day, until night fell, and his eyes suddenly glowed with a hint of brilliance.

At about the beginning of the hour, Xu Hexian walked out of the Xuanzheng Division alone and walked towards the inner city in the night.

A bustling street in the inner city, there is a mansion that covers a wide area, two stone pillars in front of the door rise to the sky, there is a Jiaopan on it, and the golden plaque is written - Prince Lu's Mansion, four big characters.
