Palace.

Fengming Palace, Autumn Lake.

Tonight, the lights are bright here, Qin Mengyao, dressed in white palace clothes, is sitting in the Qiushui Pavilion in the center of the Autumn Lake, playing the piano with her hands, the pleasant sound of the piano is matched with the face of the country's natural fragrance, under the light of the lights, beautiful as a fairy!

The starry eyes are like silk, and the green silk is like a waterfall!

The little emperor Ji Xuan knelt behind the desk on the side, looking at Qin Mengyao's beautiful goose egg face, the poetry was full of enthusiasm, and he immediately waved ink on the rice paper, just wrote a few sentences, although the rhetoric was extremely gorgeous, but there was no connotation.

In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the poem Li Mu wrote to the queen's sister: The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, the spring breeze blows Revlon, if it weren't for the jade mountains, they would meet Yaotai under the moon!

Why can't I write such a quatrain?

Ji Xuan was a little annoyed, and a little unwilling to let go of the wolf.

The piano servant Youlan was grinding ink for the little emperor on the side, she seemed to see what Ji Xuan was thinking, but she just lowered her head and concentrated on her own business.

"Isn't Your Majesty happy?" Qin Mengyao noticed Ji Xuan's movements and stopped the piano with a smile.

"No, I'm having a good night!" Ji Xuan said.

In addition to the old and welcoming the new, tonight he and the queen will celebrate the New Year together to welcome the New Year, how can he not be happy?

He diverted his attention and ordered someone to bring delicacies, and while tasting delicacies with the queen's sister, he admired the moonlight and waited for the New Year.

Next to the autumn lake, the bamboo sneakily came.

Leng Mei and dozing Xiaoju stood by the water corridor.

"Zhu'er, you're back." Seeing that it was Zhu'er, Leng Mei hurriedly stepped forward and whispered about Li Mu's condition.

"Li Mu is fine, don't worry, but ......" Zhu'er looked at Qiushui Pavilion and said, "I have something important to report to Niangniang!" ”

Can't you let Your Majesty know...... Leng Mei nodded slightly and said, "You wait here, I'll go and ask Niangniang to come out." ”

If you let Zhu'er in, Your Majesty will give an order, and Zhu'er will have to say it even if she doesn't want to say it, so she can only let Niang Niang come out.

Leng Mei walked into the winding water corridor, entered the Qiushui Pavilion, came to Qin Mengyao's side, and said in her ear: "Niangniang, Zhu'er has something important to report. ”

"Your Majesty will wait, and I will go back to the palace." Qin Mengyao got up with a smile.

Ji Xuan nodded with a smile, but he was very surprised in his heart: What is the matter that you want to hide from me?

Could it be related to that Li Mu?

Although he is young, as he gets older, he not only enters the period of voice change, but also has the possessiveness that a man should have!

Qin Mengyao's warm building boudoir is hung with Li Mu's portraits and poems, and now they are ...... Ji Xuan was very unhappy in his heart, and he hated Li Mu more and more.

Next to Autumn Lake.

When Zhu'er saw the queen come out, she hurriedly hurried to the front in three or two steps, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, when I saw Li Mu breaking through in the White Horse Temple just now, I felt the dragon power from him!" ”

"Long Wei?" Qin Mengyao was stunned.

Li Mu is not a member of the royal family, how can he cultivate Longwei?

She suddenly thought of the ice dragon that flew up from the tomb of King Qingping in Tai'a County.

If it is really related to the ice dragon, then the death of Li Mu and the former King of Shu will ......

She shook her head slightly, now Li Mu is her person, even if it is really related, it must be irrelevant!

Qin Mengyao immediately condensed and said, "This matter ends here, and it is not allowed to spread outside!" ”

"Yes, sissy." Zhu'er and Leng Mei on the side nodded hurriedly.

As for the chrysanthemum...... Still dozing off.

Fortunately, Li Mu's qi collection technique has already been completed, and there is no need to worry about being seen through.

But for the sake of prudence, Qin Mengyao still asked Zhu'er to remind Li Mu that no one should be aware of the clues, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

"Got it, mother!" Bamboo should go down hard!

……

Returning to the mountain gate of the White Horse Temple from Qinglong Square, under the stars and moon, Li Mu saw the White Dragon Horse standing outside the mountain gate from a distance, and the shadow was quite lonely under the silent moonlight.

"Ryoma, why are you here?" Li Mu stepped forward with a smile.

"Ah, my lord, you're finally back." Bai Longma stepped forward with a worried face: "Your subordinates just heard the news of the decisive battle between you and the Hun Sword Demon, but unfortunately your subordinates' strength is low and they can't fight on behalf of adults." ”

"Ryoma, it's enough for you to have this heart." Li Mu's heart warmed, and he looked at him with emotion.

Although Bailongma was born in a poor family, he knew how to repay his kindness, even if he relied on Shenqingguan and worshiped the second person on the earth list as a teacher, it is still like this, which shows his character!

"My lord, my subordinates will definitely be here tomorrow to cheer for my lord!" As he spoke, Bailongma also took out a purple gold gourd the size of a baby's head and handed it to Li Mu: "My lord, this is the twenty six-turn golden pills that my master has personally refined, and tomorrow will be a decisive battle, and my lord will definitely be able to win!" ”

Six turns of Jindan?

Li Mu was overjoyed, this is really sleepy to send a pillow, before in the Hengduan Mountains, he fought a big battle with the fire toad, and used up the elixir he got from the ghost pillar Yamamoto Ichiro, he originally wanted to find Master Huineng to transform the fate, but now, he doesn't need it.

Moreover, with the white dragon horse here, he will not lack gold pills in the future.

"Ryoma, you have a heart!" Li Mu patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him to maintain this kind of innocence in the future, for thousands of years!

"My subordinates will obey my lord's orders!" The white dragon horse readily agreed.

After he left, Li Mu entered the White Horse Temple and came to the courtyard.

In the house, the doll was lying on the bed, unable to sleep horizontally, she thought carefully for a long time, Li Mu relied on her twenty roast ducks, Sister Zhu'er relied on her forty roast ducks, she was probably relied on sixty roast ducks, she got up gloomily, this sadness had no reason, so that her stomach kept growling.

Chirping!

Li Mu pushed the door in, and saw the doll sitting on the edge of the bed like a little adult, sighing non-stop.

He was a little surprised, but without waiting to ask, he saw that the doll's eyes suddenly lit up, she jumped out of bed, her hands swinged back, her head rushed forward, the purple spirit gourd mouth was aimed at Li Mu, and she rushed over with a 'whoop' on her little short legs like lotus roots: "Li Mu, I'm fighting with you~~"

Li Mu was stunned, and then took out the roast duck with a sneer, and the meat was fragrant.

The momentum of the doll's forward rush suddenly stopped, and she looked up pitifully...... Roast duck, said: "Li Mu, I was wrong~"

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?" Li Mu asked.

"Sister Zhu'er is a liar, Li Mu is not~" The doll blinked her eyes wide, and uncompromising saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth.

Giving the promised twenty roast ducks to the doll, Li Mucai smiled and said: "Doll, I have something to do tomorrow, don't move around here, and go back and give you twenty roast ducks." ”

"Mmmm, I know~" The doll nibbled on the roast duck and nodded like garlic.

Li Mu came to sit in the courtyard, the moonlight is very beautiful tonight, the stars are bright, and there is a brilliant galaxy in the southeast, countless stars are shining, and the dazzling blue light and silver moonlight compete with each other!

"Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow will become a trio." Li Mu took out the peach blossom wine and took a sip, meaning that he was happy.

In his previous life and this life, it was the first time he spent the New Year alone!

As for the doll, this girl is not human.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang bang!

At this moment, clusters of beautiful fireworks exploded in the sky above the imperial capital, illuminating the night sky, and in an instant, the quiet imperial capital fell into a bustle.

Countless people are keeping watch for the New Year tonight!

Chu Wangfu.

Lock Kiyoaki-in.

Ling Shishi stood in the pavilion, dressed in white, cold and peerless, she looked up at the brilliant fireworks.

The colorful light shone on her beautiful face, making her fairy-like and independent cold temperament stained with a trace of red dust and fire.

Chu Wang Ji Changqiu was also in the courtyard, looking at the peerless beauty illuminated by the fireworks stupidly, the more he looked, the more itchy he felt in his heart, but he also knew that with his current cultivation, let alone kissing Fang Ze, even if he touched Ling Shishi's hand, he couldn't do it!

But......

Ji Changqiu stepped forward with a smile and asked: "Princess, at the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed, today is a good day, Li Mu's house will soon be hated in the Tianyuan Palace, I heard that in the handicap over there in the Western Regions, countless people have bet nearly seven million taels of gold on him, hahaha, this king is going to ...... Cough! It's better if the princess has time, this king can take you into the palace to see Li Mu for the last time, how about it? Hahaha......"

He laughed heartily, expecting Ling Shishi's desperate expression.

However, Ling Shishi only glanced at him lightly, then looked at the brilliant fireworks under the starry sky, and said softly: "Li Gongzi has the grace of preaching and saving my life to me, if he falls, I should avenge him, cut off the head of the sword demon, and slaughter the Hun royal family!" ”

"You!!" Ji Changqiu was furious: "Ling Shishi! You are the princess of Daqian, if you slaughter the Hun royal family, where will you put Daqian? Where is this king!! ”

"If the prince doesn't want to be implicated by me, then ask Your Majesty to make a decree and leave." Ling Shishi said lightly.

"Heli?! No way! When pigs fly! Even if this king dies, he will never reconcile with you!! Ji Changqiu roared.

Ling Shishi just smiled, and then let Ji Changqiu roar and scold, she just focused on watching the fireworks and didn't pay attention to him anymore.

……

The fireworks of the imperial capital lasted for half an hour, after which the noisy imperial capital returned to silence, the stars and moon gradually dimmed, and the rising sun slowly rose in the east.

The imperial capital, which has been quiet for a long time, has resumed its noisy again, and there are more and more people on the major streets, especially Qinglong Square and Xuanwu Square, which are even more crowded!

Because, today is the day of the decisive battle between the Great Qianshi Sword Immortal and the Hun Sword Demon!

There has been news that the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Shen Mansion will send monks to perform the water mirror method on the major streets, and project the image of the decisive battle to everyone to watch!

Naturally, the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Divine Mansion was not doing good deeds, they just wanted to make Li Mu's miserable defeat appear in front of the people of the imperial capital as quickly as possible, and help him fall into disrepute!

Before the hour came, the people were already talking.

"I bet on the Poetry Sword Immortal to cut off the head of the sword demon within ten moves!"

"With the sword technique of the Poetry Sword Immortal, three swords are enough!"

"You say, will the Poetry Sword Immortal produce new poems this time?"

"With the talent of the Poetry Sword Immortal, isn't that easy? Hahaha! ”

"Having said that, the odds in the Western Regions this time are really outrageous, I just bet 10,000 taels of silver to Shi Jianxian, and when the decisive battle is over, I have to earn him 220,000 taels of silver with tears!"

Yes, now Li Mu's odds have reached 1:23!

"The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, I'm afraid that this time I will lose my family!"

"Hahaha, you deserve it! Who made them despise me so much? ”

In a restaurant near Qinglong Square, Zhao Que'er and Qin Hu sat in a private room, looking at the crowds of people under the square.

"Brother Finch, I didn't expect things to develop like this, Ah Guta is missing, but Li Mu is going to have a decisive battle with the Hun Sword Demon, and I don't know what happened in between." Qin Hu sighed.

"Whatever happens, it's none of our business." Zhao Que'er sneered, and then said, "No, it's a little related." ”

He bought 10,000 taels of gold from the 'tea stall' late last night, although according to the odds of 1:1.2, he could only earn 2,000 taels of gold in the end, but it was difficult to buy him happy, hahahaha!

A private room in a restaurant not far away.

Jiang Xizhi and Mo Meimei are also waiting for the decisive battle to begin.

"Your eldest brother hasn't been out yet?" Jiang Xizhi asked with a smile, she also learned Mo Meimei today, covering her face with a light yellow veil, revealing only a pair of water-cut eyes with autumn waves, her hair was pulled high, and she was fixed with a hosta.

But even so, her tall and delicate posture and the unique gentle temperament of the Jiangnan water town can't be hidden.

"My eldest brother is obsessed with debate, but he has realized that it is common for him to retreat for ten days and a half months." Mo Meimei has black hair and a shawl, a black dress, and a black veil on her face, which is more mysterious than Jiang Xizhi.

Her figure is slightly slender compared to Jiang Xizhi, giving people a sense of pity.

"Although the way of counting and arguing is broad and profound, it is now ...... That's it, don't mention this, Meimei, it's so lively today, why don't you and me gamble too? ”

"Bet?" Mo Meimei glanced at Jiang Xizhi and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll bet on Li Mu to win." ”

"Then I'll have to bet on the knife demon." Jiang Xizhi smiled: "What is the bet?" ”

"What do you want?" Mo Meimei asked.

"Aoki, Xuanshui, and Yunsha!" Jiang Xizhi asked, "What about you?" ”

"Then I'm going to ......" Mo Meimei's eyes sparkled, and said, "I want you to promise me three things!" ”

"What?" Jiang Xizhi looked at her with a smile.

"You just say yes or no, in short, it won't make you embarrassed." Mo Meimei said: "Three evil spirits, in exchange for three things for you, you don't lose!" ”

"That's not going to work." Jiang Xizhi disagreed: "Although Aoki, Xuanshui and Yunsha are precious, they are just 'ordinary' things to your Mo family, so I only promise you one thing, how about it?" ”

Mo Meimei groaned and nodded: "Deal!" ”

Each of them stretched out a slender arm and clasped his palms in the air.

……

Meanwhile.

Li Mu also came down from the White Horse Temple.

Today, the mountain gate of the White Horse Temple was opened, and Zhizhu took a group of monks to send Li Mu off.

But I didn't see the abbot Master Huineng.

Li Mu knew that the monks didn't speak, and since Master Huineng said that he would definitely be there, he would definitely be able to arrive.

Walking out of the mountain gate, Li Mu saw that Kong Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was waiting with people, and Zhu'er and a few Qinggui of the Hanlin Academy in Tsing Yi and purple were guarding beside him.

"Xiaguan Li Mu, I have seen Kong Shangshu." Li Mu saluted seriously, if Kong Yi hadn't said justice a few days ago, he might not have been able to get out so easily!

Kong Yi looked at Li Mu carefully and asked, "How sure are you of today's battle?" ”

"The subordinate should fight with all his might!" Li Mudao.

Kong Yi frowned slightly: "This battle is related to my great Qiantianwei, if you are defeated, even if you can survive from the hands of the sword demon, this official will definitely participate in you!" ”

This sentence directly made Li Mu's good impression of Kong Yi cut in half: "Yes, the lower officials keep it in mind." ”

"Hmph." Kong Yi turned around and shook off the purple official sleeves and said, "Let's go!" ”

At this time, Zhu'er saw that Kong Yi finished speaking, and hurriedly ran to Li Mu's side, stood on tiptoe to his ear, and said in a low voice: "Niang Niang said that you must always run the Qi Gathering Technique, and you must not let people see through you!" ”

"yes, I see." Although Li Mu didn't know why the queen wanted to specifically tell him about this, he knew that the true dragon qi in his body had a huge temptation to the royal family, so since he had achieved the great completion of his qi collection technique, he had been running all the time, just in case!
