Yuan Ming didn't care about the departure of the eighth prince's son, he was just here to go through the motions, and was about to find a place to sit down, but someone took the lead in surrounding him.

"Hehe, Brother Yuan, I haven't seen you for a few years, don't come unharmed." A thin man in white arched his hand.

Yuan Ming recognized him as Cheng Cheng, the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and immediately returned the salute: "Brother Lao Cheng, Yuan is fine." ”

On the side, a somewhat obese man said impatiently: "The most annoying thing for you scholars, you are crepe every day, Brother Yuan finally came back from southern Xinjiang, and he must have gone through nine deaths and a lifetime, and you still ask these nonsense?" ”

This is Gong Jie, the son of the commander of the guards, Yuan smiled when he heard this: "Brother Gong, I am also a scholar." ”

"Speaking of which, I have finished reading Brother Yuan's new book "Sheng Gongzi's Journey to the South", which is really exciting! Did you make up the stories of southern Xinjiang in it, or did you really experience it? Gong Jie looked at Yuan Ming expectantly and asked.

"Well, it's up to you to imagine." Yuan Ming winked at Gong Fatzi and smiled mysteriously.

Gong Jie was not satisfied with his reply, and coaxed him to tell him what happened in southern Xinjiang, and Cheng Cheng also began to help.

At this time, several children of important ministers surrounded them and also asked questions.

Yuan Ming couldn't shirk it, so he simply hid his identity as a monk and told the half-truth about Wusang, which caused everyone to exclaim.

"I remember, there is a similar story in "Sheng Gongzi's Journey to the South"!" He shouted with a good memory.

At this time, everyone felt that "Sheng Gongzi's Journey to the South" was Yuan Ming's real experience, and they put forward their understanding and questions about the story one by one, pestering Yuan Ming to answer.

Yuan Ming dealt with them for a long time, and his mouth was dry, and everyone was satisfied.

Suddenly, one person said coldly: "Why didn't Lin Junsheng come today?" ”

"Now that he has climbed the high branches and entered the Changchun Temple, he looks down on us brothers who have no talent, how can he come?" Gong Jie sneered.

"And I've heard about it, it's been a month since Brother Yuan came back from southern Xinjiang, he hasn't visited once, Brother Yuan used to treat him as a close friend, I think he is a villain!" Cheng Cheng also agreed.

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was furious, and they rebuked Lin Junsheng for not being righteous.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Ming coughed twice and said: "You have also misunderstood, in fact, I quite understand Brother Lin, after all, the path of cultivation is difficult to reach the sky, he is already as talented as me, and now that he has the opportunity, he naturally has to cherish it more and work hard to realize the vision in his heart." ”

Hearing this, everyone praised Yuan Ming's magnanimity and became more enthusiastic.

At this moment, in front of the stairs, a tall and beautiful woman in white was surrounded by maids, and she just looked up, just in front of Yuan Ming.

The woman smiled at Yuan Ming, walked to the side, and did not come around.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming apologized to everyone around him, walked to the woman's side, and said with a smile: "Sister Loulan, I didn't expect you to come too, and you didn't come to my house to see me." ”

"Your family is busy now, I can't afford to climb high, you have been traveling all the way to the mountains and rivers for more than three years but there are no letters?" The woman in white said lukewarmly.

Yuan Ming smiled bitterly: "Sister Loulan, you misunderstood me." I do have something unspeakable. ”

"Forget it, it's famous again this time, a few of my good girlfriends are entangled, let me ask you for a few ink treasures, to solve the pain of lovesickness, and there is a bold one, I wrote a trust and I handed it over,

Do you need me to show you? Lou Lan, the woman in white, teased.

Yuan Ming smiled depressedly: "The letter is still forgiven, I'm worried that after reading the letter, my heart will be connected, and I won't be free." ”

Lou Lan said angrily: "You really changed when you came back after you went to Southern Xinjiang." ”

Yuan Ming smiled and said in a low voice: "Seriously, when are you and Tianming going to get married?" Hurry up and get married, the higher you cultivate, the more difficult it will be to have an heir in the future. ”

Loulan blushed and said, "Phew! At the beginning, Tianming and I thought that when you came back from southern Xinjiang, it would not be too late to get married, but who would have expected that you would disappear in southern Xinjiang, and he somehow suddenly cultivated immortals, and even the government became more and more deserted, and I saw him less, I'm afraid he also changed his mind. ”

Yuan Ming was silent, and he didn't know how to comfort Lou Lan for a while.

At this moment, Lou Lan suddenly sneered: "It's just a cultivator, not a eunuch, the mountain is not me, I will go to the mountain." I've already thought about it, if he joins Changchun Guan, I will also join Changchun Guan, and when the time comes, I will block him in the sect and see if he dares to marry me! ”

As she spoke, Lou Lan stared at Yuan Ming: "Don't give him a message, I'm now at the sixth level of qi refining, if you say it's leaking, hum." ”

"I won't go to Changchun." Yuan Ming hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Don't be angry, you are still obsessed with the past, don't worry, after entering the sect, if someone dares to ridicule your lack of talent, I will definitely help you teach him a lesson!" Loulan said viciously.

Yuan Ming was moved in his heart, and could only say vaguely: "Thank you, Sister Loulan." ”

Loulan snorted lightly and asked again, "You are also a monk now, how many layers of qi refining have you had?" ”

"I've just stepped into the late stage of Qi refining." Yuan Ming said.

"How did you get it in three years, impossible! When you left Beijing, you were obviously an ordinary person, an ordinary spiritual root! Loulan said.

"I got the Changchun Guan Gong Method three years ago. There are many adventures in southern Xinjiang. Yuan Ming said.

"You lie, how can you have the Changchun Guan Gong Fa, you didn't practice when you left, full of nonsense. Let's go. Loulan said.

The maid who accompanied her saw that Loulan suddenly got up and was about to leave, and asked, "Ah, why is the young lady leaving just now?" ”

Loulan turned around and feigned anger: "I don't want to be with a liar." ”

Yuan Ming hurriedly stepped forward to confess and explain, and said a lot of interesting things about southern Xinjiang before arousing Loulan's curiosity about his cultivation.

After a long absence, the two chatted for a long time until the return of the son.

Loulan is not very interested in the Wenhui, this time she came mainly to meet Yuan Ming, after all, she has reached the age of marriage, and it is not convenient to go to the door to meet Yuan Ming alone on weekdays, so she took the initiative to retire and left Dingyang Building.

……

It was late at night.

Yuan Ming walked out of the Dingyang Building surrounded by everyone, his cheeks were a little red, obviously he had drunk a lot of wine. Baidu search Soquwu.

Outside the door, Wang Shun, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward, and the guards helped Yuan Ming to the carriage and drove towards the general's mansion.

The carriage walked not far away, and in the carriage, Yuan Ming suddenly spoke, with a little drunkenness: "Go to Lin Junsheng's mansion first." ”

"Young master, it's so late, you better go back and rest early." Wang Shun persuaded.

"Long-winded, immediately, immediately!" Yuan Ming took out the prestige of the young master of the Yuan Mansion.

Helplessly, the guards could only escort Yuan Ming to the Lin Mansion.

Yuan Ming got out of the carriage and walked a little staggeringly

In front of the Lin Mansion, a guard knocked on the door vigorously.

Soon, the door opened, and a porter poked his head out impatiently: "Who's at night?" Yo, Yuan Gongzi, why are you here? ”

Yuan Ming didn't answer: "Let Lin Junsheng come out to see me!" ”

"This ...... The villain will go to report it. The porter was stunned, then retreated.

Soon, he poked his head out again: "Yuan Gongzi, I'm very sorry, my young master has been in retreat and cultivation recently, so it's not convenient to meet guests." ”

"Let him come out to me! Immediately! Yuan Ming said angrily.

"Yuan Gongzi, don't be embarrassed." The porter said with a bitter face.

Yuan Ming said: "Okay, you bring a message to Lin Junsheng, I will wait for him here for half an hour, if he doesn't come, don't regret it in the future!" ”

The porter had to go and talk again, but this time, he didn't return.

Half an hour later, Yuan Ming sneered and turned back to the carriage without saying a word.

"Go home."

Wang Shun didn't know what was going on, so he could only drive the carriage back to the general's mansion in confusion.

Not long after Yuan Ming left, another carriage stopped at the gate of the Lin Mansion, and a man in black wearing a hat came down from above and knocked on the gate of the Lin Mansion.

After waiting for a while, no one answered, and he continued to knock on the door, and soon the porter poked his head out again.

The man in black didn't speak, but took out a token and showed it to the porter.

The porter recognized that this was Lin Junsheng's personal token, and hurriedly opened the door and let the mysterious person in.

Under his leadership, the man in black soon came to Lin Junsheng's retreat room, and before he could step forward, the door suddenly opened.

The man in black walked into the house quickly, took off the hat and put it aside, and said directly: "I saw Yuan Ming coming to you." ”

Under the light of the candlelight, his face was extremely clear, and he was the son of the eighth prince.

"I know, but what the hell is he trying to do?" Lin Junsheng nodded.

The eighth prince said: "Perhaps, he is still thinking of your old feelings, tonight's literary meeting, I deliberately asked people to test him, but he defended you." ”

Lin Junsheng was silent, and his face changed inexplicably under the candlelight.

"You don't think he can really forgive you, do you?" Shizi sneered.

"Of course I won't be so naïve, it's just that Your Majesty is like a brother to him, and now that he has returned, will you let Your Majesty do something to me?" Lin Junsheng shook his head.

Shizi said: "Don't worry, you are now a disciple of Changchun Guan, and he has no evidence." Yuan Ming can survive, it is completely because you missed, your father has already met your requirements, the national teacher also made an exception to accept you as an apprentice, and you also entered the Changchun Temple, but you can't protect you for a while, Yuan Ming has to solve it yourself. ”

"I know what I know." Lin Junsheng nodded, but the hand hidden behind him was pinched to death.

The prince didn't care what he was thinking, and put on the hat again: "You continue to retreat, everything is important to the succession of the father." I'm leaving. ”

Lin Junsheng was silent, and he didn't get up to send his son.

Soon, the prince boarded the carriage again and galloped away.

It's just that after he left, on the edge of the Lin Mansion, in the dim alley, a black Suo Suo soul crow flew down from the sky and sent the blue orb in its mouth to Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming had no alcohol on his face at the moment, playing with the orb in his hand, and his eyes were gloomy.

"Sure enough, it's the Eighth King...... Hehe. ”
