Nourish the mind.

Xiao Yu stretched out his arm sideways, "Mr. Shangguan, please." ”

Shangguan Jinhong was a little humble, "Please." ”

The two walked into the Cultivation Spirit, Shangguan Jinhong looked left and right at the furnishings in the room, and finally his eyes fell on the big bow hanging on the wall, and said with a smile: "Your Highness's study is really different. ”

Xiao Yu also looked at this bow and said, "Sir, you mean this bow? I used this bow to hang the red lady back then, so I stayed to talk about it as a souvenir." ”

Shangguan Jinhong suddenly said: "I see. ”

Xiao Yu sat down in his place, and after making a gesture of please, he said: "Mr. Shangguan just said that he has something important to discuss with me in detail, let me guess first, it is nothing more than a transaction of buying and selling, but Mr. Shangguan came to my palace with such fanfare, is he not afraid that the Dao Sect will be suspicious when he finds out? After all, I am now the master of the Northwest Dao Sect, and I am inseparable from the Sword Sect. ”

Shangguan Jinhong waved his hand and said: "The Sword Sect is the Sword Sect, and the Shangguan family is the Shangguan family, and they cannot be discussed together." Just as His Royal Highness and Dacheng belong to the same Xiao family, but one of them is the eastern capital. ”

Xiao Yu smiled and was noncommittal.

Shangguan Jinhong continued: "The five families of the Patriotic Family, Ye, Zhang, Murong, Gongsun, and Shangguan, are all in the same spirit. And the children of the five families are also all over the world, no matter which side is in power, our five families can be stable. These two points are the foundation of the five families of our country that have been inherited for thousands of years. It's just that since my Shangguan family produced a great sword immortal Shangguan Xianchen, the situation of our five families has changed greatly, and we are regarded as vassals of the Sword Sect, which seems to be able to prosper for a while, but in fact it is the way to die for disaster. ”

Xiao Yu said indifferently: "So you thought of me." ”

Shangguan Jinhong looked at Xiao Yu, "What I said earlier about killing His Highness would be killed easily, but it's just a joke, and I hope Your Highness won't mind." This time I came to negotiate an alliance with His Highness on behalf of the Five Patriotic Families, or in His Royal Highness's words, a transaction. ”

Xiao Yu suddenly asked, "Mr. Shangguan came to the door to challenge with great fanfare, but in fact, he was trying to cover up his deeds?"

Shangguan Jinhong shook his head and said: "Yes and no, I am not afraid that the Dao Sect will find traces, but the one who is the uncle of the Half Sword Sect is just guarding against it." Fortunately, my clan uncle is very specialized in swords, and he doesn't pay much attention to these mundane affairs, which is far from the old scheming of the Taoist sect, which makes us juniors still have loopholes to exploit. ”

Regarding Shangguan Jinhong's dissatisfaction with Shangguan Xianchen's overflowing dissatisfaction, Xiao Yu did not make a fuss, and said with a smile: "If it is before I see Murong Yan, no matter what Mr. Shangguan says, I will not believe it, but here and now, Xiao is willing to listen to what Mr. Shangguan has to say, if Xiao thinks it is feasible, then he will naturally give Mr. a satisfactory answer, if Xiao thinks it is not feasible, he has to ask Mr. to take care of himself." ”

Shangguan Jinhong didn't rush to tell the reason, but asked with great interest: "Your Highness, might as well guess how the five of us will cooperate with Your Highness?"

Xiao Yu said without thinking: "If it is like the Jiangnan family, is there any communication with me in the northwest?"

Shangguan Jinhong shook his head with a smile and said, "This is the next policy." ”

Xiao Yu thought for a while, and then said: "You help me secretly, without showing traces, after I finish the matter, keep your five families safe, if you fail, your five families will not be implicated." ”

Shangguan Jinhong still shook his head, "It's just a middle strategy." ”

Xiao Yu frowned slightly and asked, "What advice does Mr. have to teach me?"

Shangguan Jinhong said softly: "In the next time, what I came here this time is not my will alone, but the result of the discussion of the five families of my country, and the meaning of several family heads is that a woman from the five families will be married to His Royal Highness as a side concubine, whether it is Zhang Xueyao or Murong Xuan, it is okay." ”

From Da Chu to Da Zheng, although the door valve is declining, but the residual power still exists, compared with the rising generations of the Dongdu family and the Jiangnan family, the status of the five families that have been inherited for thousands of years is more transcendent, and the door valve has a strong foundation, and the women who come out of these five families are called the five surnamed women, but the five families rely on their own identity, and only marry with their own families, such as the Ye family and the Murong family and the Zhang family, so there are very few women who marry outside.

During the Taizong Dynasty, An Guogong, who was the official to the head of the cabinet as a nobleman, that is, Xiao Yu's ancestor Xiao Yuan, once said that he had three hatreds: "Although I am not talented, I am rich and noble." There are three hatreds in his life: at the beginning of being an official, he failed to be promoted to the rank of Jinshi, he did not marry a woman with five surnames, and he was not allowed to repair the history of the country. "The second hate is that he didn't marry a woman from a family with five surnames. And Xiao Yuan married the daughter of Taizong's younger brother and the lord of Jing, which shows that the family of the five surnames even surpassed the royal family of Dazheng.

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "This is the best policy of Mr."

Shangguan Jinhong asked without moving, "What does Your Highness think?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Presumably Mr. should know that Xiao has the reputation of fearing guilt, and Mr. has a good strategy, but for Xiao, it is a lower policy." ”

Shangguan Jinhong waved his hand and said: "It's okay, there is a solution to everything, Your Highness can listen to it and say it slowly." The reason why His Royal Highness is afraid of the outside world is actually because the princess does not allow His Royal Highness to take concubines, even the side concubines, is what you said right?"

Xiao Yu nodded silently.

Shangguan Jinhong continued: "Your Royal Highness has an extraordinary relationship with that Qin Mumian and Miss Qin, and the princess and Miss Qin are on the same page, right?"

Xiao Yu nodded again expressionlessly.

"Murong Xuan of the Murong family and the princess are close friends in the nudex, and at the same time have some old grudges with Miss Qin, if she is chosen, what does the prince think. Shangguan Jinhong looked at Xiao Yu with a smile.

Xiao Yu's expression suddenly became indifferent, and he said coldly: "Murong Xuan is Qiu Ye's Taoist companion, and Qiu Ye is my best friend, so it's not reasonable to be reasonable, right?"

Shangguan Jinhong said with a smile: "Qiu Ye has been abolished by the Dao Sect's master of the real person, and now there is no Qiu Ye, only Ye Qiu." ”

Xiao Yu said: "Whether it is Qiu Ye or Ye Qiu, there is no reason to steal his wife when his friend is in trouble, is this the etiquette of the Wei Guo family?"

Shangguan Jinhong shook his head and said: "No, no, since ancient times, marriage has been a major event, adhering to the orders of his parents, and the words of the matchmaker, since Murong Xuan's parents have agreed to this matter, and Murong Xuan is also perfect, what is the rudeness?"

Xiao Yu said abruptly: "Since it is the words of the matchmaker of your parents, then you shouldn't come to find this king, you should go to the eastern capital to find the prime minister." ”

Shangguan Jinhong nodded, and said calmly: "It seems that the prince does not agree to this matter." ”

Xiao Yu glanced at the steaming teacup in front of him, and said flatly: "If Mr. has no good plan, Xiao can only send off the guest." ”

Shangguan Jinhong was silent for a moment, with a slightly bitter smile on his face, and said: "Since this is the case, then take the middle step, the Ye family and the Murong family will secretly help His Highness, while my Shangguan family, Gongsun family and Zhang family will still support the Sword Sect on the surface, if His Royal Highness can become His Majesty one day, I hope to keep us peaceful." ”

Xiao Yu said calmly: "That's all?"

Shangguan Jinhong lowered his voice slightly and said, "Of course, if His Highness can't take that step, then the five of us will not have anything to do with His Highness." ”

Xiao Yu glanced at Shangguan Jinhong deeply and was silent.

Shangguan Jinhong asked, "What is Your Highness worried about?"

Xiao Yu slowly retracted his gaze and said, "I was suddenly thinking, Jiangzuo, Jiangnan, Shuzhou, plus your five great families who defend the country, so many families have secretly surrendered to me, is this the so-called general trend?"

Shangguan Jinhong chuckled and nodded: "Your Highness thinks yes, then that's it." ”

Xiao Yu tilted his head slightly, half squinted at Shangguan Jinhong, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shangguan's words are a bit against his will." ”

Shangguan Jinhong smiled and said nothing.

Xiao Yu squinted and stared at Shangguan Jinhong, and said with a smile: "Zheng lost his deer, the world chased him, this is the world, and Mr. Shangguan, or the five surnames of Weiguo, I am afraid that in the bottom of my heart, I still feel that it is still unknown who will kill the deer, right?"

Shangguan Jinhong still said calmly: "Your Highness thinks so, then that's it." ”

Xiao Yu snorted coldly.

Shangguan Jinhong looked at the sky outside the window, it was gloomy and unpredictable, and I was afraid that there would be a snowfall after nightfall.

Xiao Yu said: "What Mr. said, this king agreed, but after Mr. goes back, he must also hurry up and start preparations, so that this king can see your sincerity earlier." ”

With that, Xiao Yu picked up the teacup on the table.

Shangguan Jinhong also took a sip of the teacup and said, "Farewell below, Your Highness stays." ”
