Chapter 7: The Surge

Qing Yi Prime Minister - Li Ruofu, if Emperor Ming is the founder of the Tang Dynasty, then Li Ruofu is undoubtedly the hardest cornerstone of this huge empire, he is under one person, above ten thousand people, holding the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty.

However, this person is not as holy as the folk rumors, and those who are familiar with Li Ruofu know that this is a madman, he can collect money from people, eliminate disasters for others, and can also do anything to achieve the goal.

Li Xiangfu, after Nian Xingchen and Li Ruofu had a conversation, the young man respectfully saluted the prime minister, and then turned around and left the backyard.

Li Ruofu touched the beard on his chin and patted the railing by the lake, "Datang, what will it become?"

The young man learned from Li Xiang's mouth that there were many people coming to this birthday banquet, and many forces that rarely showed up would also set foot in Chang'an.

Thinking about it, Nian Xingchen stepped into his own courtyard, which was the small courtyard that Li Xiang had vacated for himself, and it was also the only place he belonged to now, and this was also the only home of that little girl.

In the courtyard, a busy figure ran around, and a black figure shuttled between the kitchen and the hall.

The little girl had very short black hair, which hung gently down to her ears, and her expression was panicked, and her face was still covered with layers of black ash on both sides.

"Xiaoman!" Nian Xingchen rubbed his throat and called softly.

The girl who was in a hurry over there turned her head to the door, her eyes lit up, revealing a pair of big white teeth, and she pounced, "Young Master, you're back!"

Facing the girl's embrace, Nian Xingchen opened his arms and picked up the little girl, and the corners of his mouth showed an unrecognizable smile.

The girl, who was more than a head shorter than the boy, was picked up and carried into the house.

"Look, what I've brought you. Nian Xingchen put down the girl and took out the wrapped meat bun from the seam of his clothes.

"Is this, Baozi?" the girl stared straight at the meat bun with a white appearance, and her saliva was already on her lips.

"Well, I left it for you!"

"I've only eaten white-flour steamed buns before, but I didn't expect to have a chance to eat this?"

"What do you think, with me, you can't eat anything!" Nian Xingchen touched the girl's head and smiled.

The girl was about to stretch out her hand, but paused again, "This, young master, you can eat, I'll eat black steamed buns." ”

"Xiaoman, don't worry, this was given to me by someone else, I've already eaten it!" Nian Xingchen said softly.

"Really, don't lie to me!" the girl pouted.

Nian Xingchen lowered his head and chuckled, and without paying attention, he stuffed the bun into the girl's mouth.

After the fragrance of the bun left in the girl's mouth, she couldn't control it, grabbed it with both hands and fed it into her mouth.

Nian Xingchen took out his Absolute Dust Sword from behind his back and put it on the table, pinching Xiao Man's face, "It's so dirty, don't you know how to wash it?"

"Well, I'm used to it anyway, well, you're not here, and I don't have to be so particular about it alone. Xiao Man, who had a bun in his mouth, actually showed a terrible eating appearance no less than Nian Xingchen.

The young man smiled bitterly and went to the yard to fetch a basin of water, and grabbed Xiao Man, who was still hiccups, "Since I'm back, I'll wash it well!"

After speaking, he pressed Xiaoman's head into the basin with a force, rubbed the girl's hair and cheeks with a gentle palm, and slowly went to the basin with his hand to catch a little water and sprinkled it on the girl's hair.

At this moment, Nian Xingchen was as dedicated as caring for a treasure, and his eyes revealed rare tenderness.

Xiaoman shook her hair gently, and after washing it, she still gave people a feeling of dehydrated hibiscus, cute and energetic.

"Young Master, won't my hair grow longer?" asked Xiao Man, gently tugging at his short hair.

"I don't know, maybe your Saibei people's physique is different from ours!" Nian Xingchen quipped.

"That young man, do you like me a little more, or do you prefer those Tang beauties?" Xiao Man pulled the young man's arm and shook it, as if he was very concerned about this.

"Poof!" Nian Xingchen suddenly covered his chest at this time, and a mouthful of blood spit out directly from his mouth!

An inexplicable tingling sensation in his heart spread throughout his body, as if it was about to tear him apart.

"Young Master!" Xiao Man was also panicked when he saw this, and hurriedly patted Nian Xingchen's back, looking at the blood on the ground in his eyes, he was even more frightened, "Young Master, what's wrong with you!"

"Your whole body is in a disorder, and your internal organs are almost shaken. ”

Recalling what Gao Xianzhi said to himself, the blood from the corner of Nian Xingchen's mouth was gently wiped away by him, and he fell headlong into the ground.

Xiao Man held Nian Xingchen's face with both hands, his eyes had begun to be occupied by rolling tears, the corners of his mouth trembled, and his face turned pale, as if she was vomiting blood at the moment.

"Xiaoman, don't worry, all this is fate, it's my retribution. Nian Xingchen stretched out his hand to catch the girl's tears that were about to fall, and said with a wry smile.

Ethereal Peak, a hundred years of evergreen land, there is no winter here, you can't feel the change of time for a year, layers of green trees are arranged, and the Taoist temple in the middle - Qingfeng Temple is hidden in it.

The view of the breeze is the subjective of the ethereal door, and it is also the place of Taoist cultivation, in the view, in addition to the daily incense burner, there is nothing precious to be found.

In the main hall, four old men in gray robes were sitting on wooden chairs, three men and one woman.

"Senior brother, who are we going to send to Emperor Ming's birthday banquet this time?"

The old man in the middle opened his eyes slightly, and the wrinkles on his face were the traces left by time, "The stars are dangerous, you must be cautious!"

"What the senior brother means is this birthday banquet. The white-haired old woman on the seat asked.

The eyes of the old man in the middle didn't seem to be so energetic, "Haha, just let Ke Dao and Ke Li go! The boss is not in the mountains, but Ke Dao can already be my ethereal highest respect!"

"I don't know what will happen at this birthday banquet!"

"Since my generation is a person who has devoted himself to cultivating the Tao, this political dispute has nothing to do with us, we just need to protect the safety of the people under the mountain!" said the old man at the head with a chuckle.

"What the elder brother taught me was that my heart was shaken again. ”

"By the way, is there any movement in Shaolin?" asked the old man at the head.

"Shaolin will naturally send people there, but in the past few years, they have not been peaceful!"

"Well, the Tang Dynasty is surging, and this variable is still unknown. ”

East China Sea, above the vast sea, the mighty fleet is riding the wind and waves, this is the fleet of Dongying, this is going to the Tang Kingdom to participate in the Ming Emperor's birthday banquet.

"Senior brother, what about junior sister?" a man with a sword at his waist walked to the bow of the boat and looked at the man at the bow.

"Seasick! The man at the bow replied coldly.

"Hey, it's ridiculous that someone who has comprehended the sword intent of Aohai can get seasick!"

The man at the bow of the ship glanced at him coldly and snorted coldly.

"Heimu, this is going to Datang, you should know the reason why the master sent the junior sister to go!"

The laughing man suddenly stopped, nodded and looked at the endless sea and said, "Of course, the demon sword and the magic sword, who is strong and who is weak!"

The man at the bow of the boat turned around, dressed in black, with long hair hanging down his shoulders, and his eyes were cold, but his eyes were delicate, his complexion was fair, and he had a feminine beauty.

"Then you should know that Senior Sister is the target of your escort, please don't laugh at her, you are just a defeated subordinate of her!" The man walked over and patted the Saber Man on the shoulder and entered the cabin.

The man with the sword, his face was blue, his nose was panting, his brows were even more furrowed, his hands were clenched, everything in the past was his shame, "Wait, what kind of demon sword and demon sword, none of them will be my opponent!"
