"A noble person who is enough to decide the fate of the childe, please also ask the son to appreciate the face......"

These words came from outside the door, which surprised the concubine who was sitting opposite Meng Xiuyuan on the couch.

Since that night on the bridge in Tianjin, Meng Xiuyuan has single-handedly defeated the four holy monks of Buddhism, and his name has already spread all over the world, regardless of the rivers and lakes, temples, few people do not know.

In the hearts of many people, Meng Xiuyuan's status as a martial artist has been infinitely close to great masters like Ning Daoqi, Fu Cailin, and Song Que, and just one name is enough to make people respect.

Under such circumstances, it is still necessary to talk to Meng Xiuyuan with such an attitude, obviously not only is the identity of the person who came by no means ordinary, but its purpose is also worth pondering carefully.

Many speculations flashed in Concubine Xuan's heart for a while, and the original Gujing Wubo's face couldn't help but change color slightly.

"Your Excellency has something to say, there is no need to be pretentious."

Meng Xiuyuan himself didn't care too much, without the slightest reason, when he said leisurely and in a flat tone.

The man outside the door didn't seem to expect Meng Xiuyuan to answer like this, and seemed to have achieved the purpose of the temptation, so he paused for a moment before another voice came:

"Meng Gongzi is really different from ordinary people, he is a slave and maid.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince held a banquet in Shanglin Yuan tonight, and invited Shang Xiufang and Shang to play music and dance, just to entertain Meng Gongzi alone.

Please also ask the prince to be present at that time, don't let down the prince's kindness......"

At this point, the voice of the man outside the door stopped faintly, and he did not speak again.

……

At this time, the so-called Shanglin Garden in Chang'an City was not the royal garden referred to in the Han Dynasty, but one of the two most famous green buildings in the world.

The princes and generals in Chang'an City, famous families often set up banquets here, and Li Jiancheng invited Meng Xiuyuan to a banquet here, which is not strange except for being a little informal.

Since the other party came to the door and looked like he was going to invite him to the appointment no matter what, Meng Xiuyuan was actually not hesitant to take a trip to see what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty had in mind.

His only concern was that he didn't want to fall for the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain, so that those who were hiding in the shadows could take advantage of his banquet to come to the inn to attack Shi Feixuan and Shi Qingxuan.

Therefore, before leaving, Meng Xiuyuan made thorough preparations, invited Shi Qingxuan and Shi Feixuan to his room, and told her to watch out for thieves and take care of each other.

Shi Qingxuan's own martial arts are quite extraordinary, although the injury of the senior concubine Xuan has not healed, there is also an immortal true qi left by Meng Xiuyuan in her body to make her emergency, under the cooperation of the two women, even if it is attacked by a powerful master, they should both have the ability to escape hand in hand.

Although Shi Qingxuan was sarcastic and sarcastic because of this, things were finally arranged, and Meng Xiuyuan immediately left the inn.

……

Shanglin Yuan is located in the central area of Chang'an Beili, surrounded by some small traders, which is very lively and easy to find.

Bypassing the two popular gambling houses, you don't need to look around and ask for directions, and you will see a rather elegant building.

The plain gray brick wall is decorated with black glazed tiles, the eaves are painted in turquoise, the pillars and sash railings are not painted to reveal the original color of the wood, and the couplets on the columns are also made of hardwood.

The whole building is noble and elegant, full of the smell of books, if you don't see the words "Shanglin Yuan" on the door plaque, it is easy for people to think that it is a place such as a academy or a scholar.

Meng Xiuyuan entered from the main entrance, and there were already people waiting on the side, leading him respectfully to the hall with the best view at the north end of the second floor.

"The distinguished guest has finally arrived, and it seems that the banquet for the evening has not been in vain.

Meng Gongzi has been famous all over the world recently, and it seems that he is really worthy of it at this moment......"

The hall was already full of people, and the person who spoke for the head was heroic, his eyes were deep, and his face was two or three points similar to Li Shimin, and he thought it was the prince Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng has many people around him, and many of them seem to have excellent martial arts, and together they can be described as a force that cannot be underestimated.

Meng Xiuyuan could vaguely detect it by relying on the spiritual sense in his heart, although these people were calm on their faces, they were also quite wary of themselves, obviously not treating him as a distinguished guest.

Especially one of the most imposing young people, his eyes were always on him, and the battle intent in his heart was already bursting out, and it was almost impossible to hide.

"The prince is polite......"

Meng Xiuyuan responded with a smile, not caring about everyone's attitude at all, he only arched his hand towards Li Jiancheng, and naturally sat down.

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan's performance like this, the people present couldn't help but become more and more nervous, as if they were going to work together to capture Meng Xiuyuan in the next moment, only Li Jiancheng's smile on his face remained the same, and he greeted Meng Xiuyuan warmly.

In this slightly strange atmosphere, the feast finally began, and the attendants, who had been waiting for a long time, appeared behind the door, bringing delicious food and wine.

Unexpectedly, the banquet set up in the Qinglou was quite plain, and there were no girls to accompany the wine and sing songs, only Li Jiancheng and a group of cronies chatted and drank with Meng Xiuyuan.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere on the table eased slightly, and Li Jiancheng finally leaned closer to Meng Xiuyuan with the intention of drinking, and asked casually as if he didn't care at all:

"Meng Gongzi, I heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that you have some friendship with my second brother Shimin.

I don't know how the people of the world are so lucky to be able to make friends with such a master as Meng Gongzi......"

When Meng Xiuyuan heard that Bai Zhengshi was finally coming, he didn't want to have more entanglements with people like Li Jiancheng, so he only drank all the wine in the cup, and immediately interrupted bluntly:

"The prince doesn't have to be tempted, if you have anything to say, just say it.

I am indeed friends with Brother Shimin, but you don't have to worry about it, Prince.

As long as you don't touch my bottom line, then I don't want to touch the affairs of the court.

I have come to the banquet today to explain this to the prince......"

Meng Xiuyuan suddenly replied so bluntly, which surprised everyone present.

According to their experience, under such an occasion, Meng Xiuyuan and Li Jiancheng would go back and forth for a few rounds no matter how many rounds before they gradually reached the key point. I didn't expect Meng Xiuyuan to be so direct, unwilling to be the slightest bit vain.

When Li Jiancheng heard this, his face couldn't help but change color slightly, and he pondered for a moment before he continued:

Meng Gongzi was outspoken and really refreshing.

In that case, I won't talk nonsense.

I heard that Gongzi sold the Heshi Bi, which was related to the world, to the people for a few taels of gold and silver, which is very different from what Gongzi said, "I don't want to touch the affairs of the court."

Behind this, there must be another special deal that will impress you.

Can you please announce the chips so that I can join the competition?

If there is a price to pay for being friends with Meng Gongzi, then I, Li Jiancheng, am very willing to listen to it......"

Li Jiancheng said it extremely sincerely, obviously really wanting to pay some price to draw Meng Xiuyuan from Li Shimin's side.

Meng Xiuyuan could feel his sincerity and understand why he said this, but in the end, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head:

"No need, Your Highness the Prince.

Thank you for your hospitality today, and I'm done with all I want to say, so I won't bother anymore......"

At this point, Meng Xiuyuan put down the wine glass in his hand and wanted to leave the table.

Li Jiancheng's face became more and more ugly when he saw this, but he was still unwilling to give up, and added in a loud voice:

"Since Meng Gongzi knows that I am the crown prince, he should understand that the price I can give in the future is something that the people of the world will never give you.

The people present at today's banquet are all my cronies, and my son's words and deeds will never reach the ears of the people.

In this case, why can't Meng Gongzi explain his wishes?

Whether the prince wants to start a sect and become famous in the world, or he wants to conceal martial arts and inherit various factions, I can provide a better condition......"

Meng Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this, and he didn't want to say anything more to Li Jiancheng, so he immediately stood up.

But just as he was about to step away, a figure suddenly snatched out from Li Jiancheng's side and stopped in front of him:

"In Xia Dazhi, I have seen Meng Gongzi."

Meng Xiuyuan looked fixedly, but saw that it was the young man who was the most eager in the crowd before and wanted to challenge him, and when he looked closely, he found that his appearance was quite characteristic of the northern nomads.

"What do you mean?"

Meng Xiuyuan asked indifferently.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kindly invited Gongzi Meng to the banquet, why should Gongzi leave in such a hurry.

Shang Xiufang is still here, and if she misses her performance, it will be a regret in her life.

If Meng Gongzi feels bored and is tired of staying here, it is better to let me accompany Gongzi to live a double life, as an entertainment to pass the time......"

Although this Da Zhi said politely, a pair of eyes stared at Meng Xiuyuan like a wolf, and his momentum was aggressive.

Meng Xiuyuan chuckled lightly when he saw this, ignored the Dazhi in front of him, and turned to look at Li Jiancheng on the side, waiting for what he said.

Li Jiancheng smiled when he saw this, and said to Meng Xiu:

"Da Zhi is right, since Meng Gongzi is here, why rush to leave, if there is anything, we can sit down and talk slowly.

Inviting Shang Xiufang and everyone to come to perform, but it is not an easy task, this banquet is specially set up for Meng Gongzi, if Gongzi doesn't see it, it will be a pity.

Da Zhi is from the Eastern Turks, and is considered the number one master in my Donglin Army, and shocked Mobei with his self-created "Wild Sand Knife Method", and was respected by Wuzun Bi Xuan as the first person in the younger generation.

In the past battles, none of the generals of Shimin's Tiance Mansion were his opponents, and it was barely suitable for him to accompany Meng Gongzi for entertainment.

If you want me to say, let's not hurt the harmony, so we will use the three moves as the boundary.

If it is within three moves, Da Zhi can not fall behind in the hands of Gongzi, so how about Meng Gongzi to stay and drink two more glasses of wine? ”

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, looked at Da Zhi in front of him for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Looking at your breath, you know that you are unruly by nature and quite conceited.

Why would a Turkic like you be willing to surrender to the Han people of the Tang Kingdom?

I wonder if there is anything hidden in this? ”

As soon as Meng Xiuyuan said this, including Li Jiancheng, everyone present had a change in complexion.

"My affairs, don't worry about Meng Gongzi.

But I don't know if Childe is so nagging, is it because he is afraid of me?

If this is the case, then Meng Gongzi doesn't have to make a move, just wait for everyone to arrive, just dance with her.

It's just a pity, I originally heard that your swordsmanship is like a god, and I want to use it to hone and hone my sword......"

Da Zhi said in a low voice, obviously deliberately provoking Meng Xiuyuan to make a move, and wanted to use this to change the topic.

Meng Xiuyuan looked at this Da Zhi, and then looked at Li Jiancheng, who had a slightly complicated complexion on the side, and knew that there must be another complicated reason in this matter.

However, even if he asked again, the other party obviously would not reveal more, and Meng Xiuyuan simply didn't want to pay attention to these trivial matters:

"Okay, although I don't know who instructed you behind the scenes, so you came to test my martial arts.

But since you insist, it doesn't hurt that we can live with both hands.

It's just that if only the two of us are involved in such a thing, it will be less interesting.

I see that all the generals here have been staring at me for a whole time since the banquet, and they are all eager to try, why don't I give you a chance? ”

As he spoke, Meng Xiuyuan's gaze swept over the masters of Lin Jun, who was present, causing their faces to change greatly.

Today's state is extremely poor, write less, and make up for it tomorrow.
