Chapter 270: Qingxiao Gate (Ask for Subscription)
Time passes.
The day flies.
The Day of Tribute for All Nations has finally arrived.
Li Mu got up early in the morning, and when he saw that the doll was still asleep, he threw her directly into the wooden bowl and carried it with him.
Coming down from Qingyou Mountain, Lin Aimin had prepared a spirit horse, and Li Mu rode a horse, and came to the south gate of the palace at the beginning of Chenshi, in front of Qingxiao Gate!
The tributary of all nations is different from the great court.
The Great Dynasty will be in the Tianyuan Palace, and you need to enter from the Wangxian Gate.
And the tribute of all nations is in the Chaotian Que Palace, and you need to enter from the Qingxiao Gate!
At this time, the sky was just dark, but in front of Qingxiao Gate, there were already standing purple scarlet official robes and brocade python belts!
The princes and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, the civil ministers and military generals, gathered together, and they were chatting and chatting.
Behind the left of these ministers are the seventy-two earths, and on the right are the legations of the nations!
Farther away, there is the crowd of onlookers, which is crowded with people, ordinary people, children of families, young ladies and young women, and wealthy businessmen, all of whom come here to see the excitement.
For this reason, the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Shen Mansion also dispatched hundreds of monks to maintain order on this side.
Li Mu participated in the tribute as seventy-two earthly demons this time, and he didn't need to wear the conspicuous green official robe, he was dressed in a white robe, his long hair was tied into a bun, fixed with a jade sword, his posture was straight, and his sword eyebrows were starry.
"Poetry Sword Immortal, Poetry Sword Immortal is here!"
"The jade tree is in the wind, and it is suave, worthy of being my great poetry and sword immortal!"
"I still remember the decisive battle a few days ago, and the demeanor of the poetry and sword fairy is still there."
"This tribute, it is estimated that no one in these missions will dare to mess with the poetry and sword immortal anymore, haha."
In the midst of the boiling discussions, a little eunuch came from the side, he was the celebrant eunuch who was responsible for receiving the seventy-two earthly demons, and he was the confidant of the chief manager Zhang Xi.
"I've seen the Poetry Sword Immortal, the Poetry Sword Immortal, please come here." The little eunuch respectfully led Li Mu to the left side, and dozens of people had gathered here, all of whom were from the list.
Li Mu looked around and saw many acquaintances.
Zhao Qi'er, the twenty-seventh on the list, the twenty-ninth Qin Hu, and the thirty-sixth Yao Xuan, he is the son of Yao Yan, the left minister, and Li Mu is very impressed by him.
But Master Huineng and the Quanzhen Dao Master are nowhere to be seen.
"Li Jushi, long time no see." At this time, Daoist Quan Yu, the protector of the White Dragon Horse, walked towards Li Mu with a smile.
He is a cultivator of the Five Realms of the Earth Evil, ranking thirty-second on the earth list.
"Captain Quanyu." Finally met someone who could speak, Li Mu hurriedly leaned up and asked, "Aren't Master Huineng and Quanzhen Dao Master coming?" What about Ryoma? ”
"Master Huineng doesn't know, but the senior brother of the poor way will not come." Quan Yu said with a smile: "As for Ryoma, the imperial court invited some sect disciples to watch the ceremony, and Ryoma will appear with them. Li Jushi, Poor Dao will first introduce you to the colleagues here. ”
As he spoke, Quan Yu began to introduce Li Mu to the Dibang monk next to him.
The pale, long-legged woman in the corner is Tang Ye, who challenged the Huns in the ring a few days ago and was seriously injured, and has not yet recovered.
The woman in the middle wearing a golden dress and a proud face is Ying Xiaoyue, the daughter of the winner, with excellent talent, ranking twenty-third on the list!
The monk over there is Huide, the younger brother of Master Huineng, a senior monk who practices Buddhism in Qiyun Pagoda all the year round, and is eleventh on the list!
Zhao Que'er, Qin Hu, and Yao Xuan will not be introduced.
But the lady of the sky who was surrounded by the three of them was the fourth on the earth list, the daughter of the Meng family, and Meng Qiuhan, one of the nine stunning!
It is precisely because of Meng Qiuhan's existence that Li Mu's appearance did not attract too much attention from the list, because everyone paid attention to her.
Even Ying Xiaoyue looked at Meng Qiuhan with some unconvinced.
Li Mu saw that Meng Qiuhan was in his early twenties, wearing a cyan waxy skirt, and his posture was thin and tall, like a jade sword, standing slim.
Her facial features are delicate and perfect, without the slightest blink, her long hair is shawl, her eyes are like stars, like the goddess of Luoshui, who is independent in the world, dusty and ethereal.
At the same time, she also has a Confucian temperament, her eyes are gentle, and the corners of her mouth always have a sweet smile, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
As if sensing Li Mu's gaze, Meng Qiuhan looked sideways slightly, and nodded at Li Mu with a smile, his smile was like a spring breeze, and it seemed that even the cold wind around him was no longer harsh.
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat.
This daughter of the Meng family not only has a peerless appearance and cultivates against the sky, but even her personality looks very good, no wonder whether the men or women present are looking at her.
Qin Hu followed Meng Qiuhan's gaze, and finally found Li Mu, and suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart.
Miss Meng is a beautiful woman in the sky, and there seems to be only ...... in the world who can match her Poetry Sword Fairy?
No!
No!
Li Mu is only a seven-grade county order, how can he match Miss Meng?
He doesn't deserve it!
Qin Hu was still a little guilty about Li Mu, but when Meng Qiuhan and Li Mu's eyes collided, this bit of guilt was suddenly extinguished by jealousy!
"Heh, the poetry sword fairy is here." Zhao Que'er on the side also found Li Mu, and looked at each other with a smile, but did not step forward to provoke.
"Brother Li!" When Yao Xuan saw Li Mu, he remembered what happened in the fish intestine restaurant before, and hurriedly went up to say hello.
"He's Li Mu?" Meng Qiuhan originally thought it was just an ordinary list, but he didn't expect it to be the poetry and sword immortal who made a lot of trouble in the city a few days ago.
"Miss Meng, Li Mu is a talented person, but his temperament is also extremely eccentric." Qin Hu hurriedly said: "Some time ago, in the fish intestine restaurant, because of some quarrels, he drew his sword with me, I am not the enemy, if it wasn't for Brother Bird's shot, I would have died in his hands." ”
When Zhao Qi'er heard Qin Hu's words, her eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Little Hu'er, it's not okay to say bad things about people behind your back, Shi Jianxian is disdainful of you, but not necessarily for Miss Meng." ”
He seemed to be reprimanding Qin Hu for speaking ill of people behind his back and telling right and wrong, but he was actually implying that Li Mu was arrogant and arrogant, as well as ...... Lascivious?
Meng Qiuhan smiled and said: "No one is perfect, as long as the festival is not lost, it is not a masterpiece, so it should be befriended!" ”
Saying that, Meng Qiuhan really moved, walking gracefully, the cyan glutinous skirt was like a wisp of green smoke, and seemed to come to Li Mu slowly.
At this time, Yao Xuan had just finished greeting Li Mu, and before he turned around, he smelled a clear fragrance, and he knew that it was Meng Qiuhan without looking back.
Because this fragrance is her body fragrance, which is not comparable to ordinary perfumes.
He smiled and stepped aside.
"Meng Qiuhan, I've seen the Poetry Sword Immortal." Meng Qiuhan bowed slightly, and a few strands of green silk slipped from his shoulders, soft and black.
Li Mu looked at the perfect face, the tip of his nose smelled the unique fragrance of Qingyu Ya, after a short period of distraction, he was busy reciting the Bing Xin Jue, stretched out his right hand, and said: "Don't dare, Miss Meng is polite, just call me Li Mu." ”
Meng Qiuhan stood up, she was delicate, only half a head shorter than Li Mu, looking at her height, she was even taller than the concubine Han Qingqian.
"Li Gongzi slashed the sword demon three days ago and raised the prestige of the country, no matter how polite it is." Meng Qiuhan said with a smile.
"It's just a fluke." Li Mu said with a smile: "If Miss Meng was also in the imperial capital at that time, I'm afraid it won't be my turn to make a move." ”
Meng Qiuhan's face was straight, and he said in a condensed voice: "I was delayed by some things, I only entered the city yesterday, and the tired Li Gongzi faced the wind and rain alone, Li Gongzi didn't want to blame me." ”
Although Meng Qiuhan is a woman, she has been familiar with Confucian classics since she was a child, and when she grows up, she takes the world as her own responsibility.
If she knew that the Xiongnu Meng Yuan dared to make such a big deal, she would definitely return to Beijing in the starry night!
Li Mu saw that her expression when she spoke did not seem to be fake, so he didn't dare to say it.
Not far away, watching Li Mu and Meng Qiuhan talking and laughing, Qin Hu's face gradually distorted.
"What, jealous?" Zhao Que'er stood next to her with a smile and said, "Don't worry, your Miss Meng is not one of those prodigal outside, she can't walk when she sees Shi Jian Xian." ”
"Brother Finch, don't say that, Miss Meng is not me, how can I be jealous." Qin Hu said in a sullen voice.
"You, you take your family background too seriously, and you always feel that you are just a side of the Qin family, and you are not worthy of Miss Meng, how can you hold the beauty if you go on like this?" Zhao Qi'er laughed softly: "Chasing women, it's nothing more than stalking, no matter how hard it is, it's okay to use some means." ”
"Brother Finch, don't say that, I, I'...... When I achieve Tiangang, that's it, it's okay. Qin Hu gritted his teeth.
Zhao Qi'er sneered and shook his head, when you achieve Tiangang, Meng Qiuhan is also Tiangang, and the rest of the people are also Tiangang, at that time, what is the difference from this time?
Over there, Meng Qiuhan came back after chatting with Li Mu.
Qin Hu hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Brother Finch, don't talk about me, you still have to think about yourself." ”
"Me?" Zhao Que'er smiled and shook her head: "If it weren't for my father's decision to ask me to participate in the Great Tribute, I would have taken down your sister a long time ago!" Hum. ”
"Brother Finch, don't talk so much, I heard that Dingbohou's son is also pursuing my sister." Qin Hu smiled: "If you want to be my brother-in-law, it's not that easy. ”
"Then we'll see." Zhao Que'er laughed, and then said to Meng Qiuhan, who walked back: "Miss Meng, what do you think of the Poetry Sword Immortal?" ”
Meng Qiuhan nodded with a smile: "Polite and courteous, a gentleman, not bad." ”
Although she doesn't care much about her beauty, but the reputation of the Nine Stunning Colors is outside, and the rest of the men will be distracted when they see her for the first time, even if they pretend to be calm, but Li Mu, except for the loss of mind when he first came into contact, there is no fluctuation after that, which is really rare!
"Miss Meng, I don't know people but don't know my heart, I think it's better not to make such arbitrary judgments." Qin Hu was a little anxious, for fear that Miss Meng would be hooked up by Li Mu.
Meng Qiuhan shook his head slightly, smiling without saying a word.
The other side.
Quan Yu saw that Jiu was gone, so he continued to introduce Li Mu.
Although Li Mu is not face blind, it is not realistic for him to remember all the people in the list at once, and after a rough look, he will pay attention to the missions of various countries.
Quan Yu did his homework and said: "There are two hundred and seventy-six missions to Beijing this time, from the northern grasslands, the deserts of the Western Regions, the East China Sea and the South Seas, among which the most powerful are the Mengyuan and the Xiongnu, but the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions are united in the same spirit, and they are backed by the Buddha country, and their strength should not be underestimated!" ”
"Meng Yuan and the Xiongnu Poor Dao won't say much, you should know each other." Quan Yu pointed to a man with fluffy hair but an extremely majestic figure and said: "That's the lion prince, Ayesu, who was originally the heir of the Lion Kingdom, but the battle between you and the sword demon caused the Western Regions to lose more than 100 million taels of gold, I'm afraid that after he goes back, his heir status will fluctuate." ”
"Ayesu." Li Mu looked at the man who looked like a lion, and a touch of abnormality welled up in his eyes: Could it be that the black shadow that appeared the night before was him?
Then, Quan Yu pointed to a black-haired woman beside Ayesu and said, "That's the princess of Loulan Kingdom, Peacock." ”
Peacock?
Li Mu looked at it, the peacock princess was wearing a red light veil on her face, covering her face, but she was tall and enchanting, convex and backward, full of feminine charm, and she only wore a red wrap on her upper body, revealing a large piece of white and delicate shoulder blades, as well as six soft and elastic abdominal muscles, and the lower half of her body was a gauze skirt, her legs were looming, and she walked barefoot, her feet were not stained with dust, and she was extremely fair and exquisite.
Well?
Li Mu's heart suddenly tightened, and his gaze shifted slightly, looking at a monk beside the peacock princess.
This monk is quite thin, looks like a piece of ribs, his face is plain, there is no character, and the monk's robe he wears is also extremely shabby, looking at his dress, he looks like an ascetic.
At this time, the monk also looked directly at Li Mu, and even folded his hands and saluted Li Mu.
This monk ...... It's not simple.
Li Mu had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"He is the son of the Buddha of the Bodhi Temple in the Western Regions, and his law name is Xuanling!" Quan Yu whispered.
Buddha?
Li Mu frowned, and asked: "Daoist Quan Yu, I only heard that there are three Bodhisattvas in the Western Regions, eight Heavenly Dragons, eighteen Vajra, and thirty-six walking, how can there be Buddhas?" ”
Quan Yu also said: "This Buddha entered Beijing yesterday, and the poor road is not long ago. ”
So mysterious?
It seems that this guy is not simple.
Then, Li Mu saw Master Xuankong, as one of the eight Heavenly Dragons, Xuankong was actually following Xuanling like an entourage at this moment!
Li Mu's heart moved: It seems that the status of this Buddha is still above the Eight Heavenly Dragons, but I don't know how it compares with the Bodhisattva?
Then, Quan Yu introduced the rest of the missions to Li Mu, such as the Cheshi Ancient Kingdom and the Wuzi Ancient Kingdom in the Western Regions, as well as the Ghost Country, the Thunder Country, the Fog Country on the East China Sea, and the Island Country on the South Sea side, what Giant Elephant Country, Baise Country, all kinds of things!
There are a large number of these envoys, Li Mu can't remember it, he made up his mind, and then he will follow in the footsteps of Quan Yu, if there is anyone he doesn't know, just ask him again.
"The King of Chu and the King of Shu have come down." At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came.
Then, the conversation in front of Qingxiao Gate was quiet.
The eyes of the palace ministers, noble and military generals began to dodge, they either looked left and right, or bowed their heads in contemplation, or closed their eyes and dozed off, but none of them dared to look directly at the two princes.
It's really that in the past few days, the king of Chu and the king of Shu have been looking for people to borrow money everywhere, and one loan is hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, which is simply sad!
These ministers, what they are most afraid of now is that these two princes will come to the door.
If it weren't for the fact that the great tributaries couldn't take sick leave, most of the princes present would probably be sick!
When Li Mu saw their fate, he felt sour in his heart, he really couldn't be an outsider!
"Li Mu!
”
I don't know if there is really an aura sense between the enemies, there are nearly a thousand people in front of Qingxiao Gate, and Ji Changqiu, the king of Chu, actually saw Li Mu at a glance!
No anti-theft
Li Mu hurriedly replied with a gentle smile: "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu." ”
