Sima Ren pretended not to know and asked, "May I ask who your Excellency is ......?" Xue Zhongbing said: "Xue Zhongbing, the son of Xue Heng, the protector of the country, has heard that His Royal Highness is elegant and handsome, and I don't want to see His Highness's honor today. ”

Sima Ren smiled bitterly: "Oh?! It was Your Excellency who helped Big Brother find the Heartless Mage! This king often hears others talk about your Excellency, and it is not unusual for a person to be praised by others, but I have never heard anyone say that you are not good! If there is a father, there must be a son, and the good ministers are loyal, and your three words 'Xue Zhongbing' really answer me! Peerless? This king has always liked to be pure, has no ambitions, just wants to be chic and happy, how can he be peerless, haha! ”

Xue Zhongbing said: "Your Highness, you are too humble, Your Highness is young, it is a good time to serve the country, make contributions, and make great achievements." Sima Ren sighed and said: "My father is wise and martial, the Manchu Dynasty is a good general, my eldest brother has been a prince, he has won the trust of his father, and his command is full of heroes and handsome, even a virtuous person like Your Excellency is also committed to the eldest brother, what kind of hero is my prince?" Don't make trouble, it's good to be annoying! What kind of merit to talk about! You just have to assist the big brother and be loyal to the country. ”

Xue Zhongbing only felt that there was something in his words, and it was not easy to say it deeply, so he had to nod his head and say yes.

Sima Ren said: "This king has no lofty ambitions, if you want to say cockfighting, lackeys, playing football and gambling, listening to music and music, beauty singing and dancing, I am an expert, and I can also talk about poetry and poetry elegantly, if you are interested, you may as well come to the house often to sit and sit, to ensure that you have fun!" ”

Xue Zhongbing only felt that this Sima Ren was very different from what his father had speculated, and he was very disappointed in his heart, but after thinking about it again, it would not be a bad thing if he could make more friends with the prince, so he chatted with Sima Ren for a while, and said goodbye to Yue Qing and went home. Sima Ren looked at Xue Zhongbing's distant back, smiled meaningfully, and turned back to the house.

The Wuxin mage Yunque Tai showed his skills and became famous, and everyone in the capital knew about it, and the people all talked about it, saying that there was a god in Huaxia who would repel the chieftain army in the near future.

Li Yuebai listened to people talking about this matter in the inn, recalling the words and deeds of the old mage that day, it didn't seem like a good person, and he couldn't help but worry in his heart, it happened that Yue Qing came to the door to apologize to Li Yuebai, Li Yuebai was a generous person, no longer cared, the two got back together, and found a tavern together.

Li Yuebai saw that Yue Qing had an injury in the shoulder, and asked the reason, Yue Qing told Li Yuebai about the Quetai martial arts competition, and Li Yuebai knew that the werewolves who fought against him in Tianxiang Pavilion that day were all unintentional mage changes, causing six innocent people to die unexpectedly, and his heart was really vicious. Yue Qing told how Master Wuxin was supernatural, and Li Yuebai was very uneasy when he heard it, reminding Yue Qing that Old Master was not like that kind person, but Yue Qing didn't think so. Li Yuebai saw that he was obsessed, so he had to shake his head and give up.

After a few glasses of wine, Yue Qing sighed, "Hey! I envy you, brother! ”

Li Yuebai asked puzzledly: "Brother, what do you envy me?" Every man has his own troubles. ”

Yue Qing said: "My brother doesn't know how to be blessed in the blessings, you were born in a rich gentry family, and your appearance, knowledge, and character are all first-class!" There is also a sister-in-law who is like a flower and jade waiting for you. Look at me again, I don't know a few big words, I only dance back all day long, fight and kill, talk about being born with mud legs, look simple, look at the master's face every day, even if I like it, it's also whimsical! ”

Li Yuebai understood at the moment and said with a smile: "Okay, you, my brother has a sweetheart?" Who, say it, brother, listen to it."

Yue Qing blushed and spoke, a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "What, brother, I'm like this, who can take a fancy to us!" My brother is really a smart person, he can't hide anything from you, but he is one of them, but he ......"

Li Yuebai's eyes flashed, with a wicked smile on her face, she slowly poured the wine into the cup and said, "The hero is sad to pass the beauty!" Just what? Men should get married and women should get married, if you like it, just ask for it, you can't cower, take out your Yue Qing's usual spirit, don't help you find a way! ”

Yue Qing said: "I am one of the photos on the Yunque platform of Changming Palace, speaking of brother, don't laugh at us, she is the daughter of Zhu Chongwu, a scholar of the dynasty, and Zhu Wenying, the Marquis of Shuwu, but she is a famous lady, what am I?" It's a slave who listens to people's shouts, one in the sky and the other underground, it's just a daydream! ”

Li Yuebai thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that Yue Qing had talked to him about the Dragon and Tiger Duel, and said: "Brother Xian said that he wanted to sign up for the Dragon and Tiger Duel, with your skills, sign up for the Dragon and Tiger to decide to get a marquis, the court is in urgent need of a fierce general who serves the country and kills the enemy, and the prince is thirsty for talent, it is the opportunity for you to come out of the way, at that time, you took the fame, isn't it a matter of course?" ”

Yue Qing frowned and said, "I also thought about what my brother said, so I secretly made up my mind to take the risk of reporting behind Xue Gongzi's back, but I am worried that this matter will not be hidden from Xue Gongzi after all, if he knows, it will be difficult to fall into the infamy of betraying the lord, and maybe my life will be lost." Ay! ”

Li Yuebai became angry when she heard this, and said angrily: "Your lord is just a poisonous snake, not to mention turning his back on him, even if he is slaughtered, he should be killed!" ”

Yue Qing's face changed greatly, looking left and right, just afraid of being heard by others, and said in a low voice: "People are under the eaves, how can you not bow your head, brother, don't you know that these sons and brothers have hands and eyes to the sky, people have their backs to the court, and their power is all over the sky, and they can't afford to offend!" It's also strange to say, I was reckless on the stage for a while, and I didn't wait for Xue Zhongbing to speak, and then I took action to compete with the wolf soldiers, and when I returned to the house, Xue Gongzi was cold and indifferent to us, and he didn't trust us as much as before, would he know that I secretly signed up for the Dragon and Tiger Battle? ”

Li Yuebai said: "This person is scheming, his heart is like a snake and scorpion, if you leave him early, it will be a blessing!" Brother, you have to be very careful, accompany the poisonous snake, there is a danger of backlash! ”

Yue Qing said: "Brother is serious, Xue Gongzi has always treated me well, which of those sons in the capital is not such a habit?" This Xue Gongzi is quite enterprising, compared to those frustrated swingers, it's very good! However, what my brother said is also for the sake of my younger brother and for the good of my brother, I know in my heart that I must guard against others! ”

Li Yuebai saw that it was difficult to convince him for a while, so she smiled bitterly, raised her hand and drank the wine in the cup.

The two continued to talk and drink, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the time before the application, Yue Qing informed Li Yuebai of the day of the dragon and tiger duel, and gave him a ticket to watch it in the future, asking him to go and watch. Li Yuebai calculated that it was the day after the end of the palace examination, so he agreed, and then the two said goodbye and dispersed.
