Volume 1 The Prince Travels Back to Kyoto Chapter 26 Princess Changyang's Ambition
When the old housekeeper heard Lin Xiuyuan's question, he was stunned for a moment before he hesitated:
"The old slave doesn't know much about these immortal things, but he seems to have heard that this thing is indeed a rare treasure in the world, and it is also very important to the immortals on the mountain."
Lin Xiuyuan himself is very clear in his heart, how important this thing is, he once traveled with his master in the academy, he saw an ancient mountain and sea essay, which has many ancient innate spiritual treasures introduced, this chaos stone is in the book, this is the ancient flood of things, rare in the world, the chaotic qi contained in it, can help people practice the true yuan, especially the martial arts to quench the body and nourish the qi, the effect is the best, and there is even a chance to open up the qi sea and rivers.
Not only that, but it was one of the hardest innate spirit treasures, which just met the requirements of the master as a whetstone, and it was just right for him.
Lin Xiuyuan didn't expect that his luck would be so good, he just got a letter from his master, learned about the long knife, and in a blink of an eye, there was news of the innate spirit treasure, and there is a saying in the mortal world that someone sends a pillow when he is sleepy, to describe this matter, which is the most appropriate.
Seeing that Lin Xiuyuan seemed to be still immersed in the previous words, the old housekeeper said cautiously:
"Your Highness, although this Chaos Stone is good, it is prepared for the immortals on the mountain, and what we really have to care about is that recruitment order."
When Lin Xiuyuan heard this, he sobered up a little from his excitement, glanced at the old housekeeper, and said suspiciously:
"Recruitment order?"
He was so excited when he heard the Chaos Stone just now that he didn't even notice the words of the recruitment order, and the old butler smiled bitterly and said:
"Yes, that's what matters most to us."
Lin Xiuyuan saw that the old housekeeper's expression was serious, although he was not interested in this recruitment order that he had never heard of, he still asked patiently:
"What is this?"
The old butler said:
"The Chaos Stone is a reward prepared by the Confucian sages for those immortals who should be recruited to protect the Tao, but the recruitment order is a gift to us, this thing is on behalf of the Confucian sages said, if you can get this order, you can open a recruitment hall in the Holy Zhou Dynasty, in the name of Confucianism, recruit the world's wise men, not bound by the law."
Lin Xiuyuan was slightly stunned, it turned out that this thing had such a great effect, this is not as simple as summoning a few capable people, in the name of Confucianism, in the entire Holy Zhou Dynasty, summoning wise men into their own mansion and becoming their own guests, the influence produced is not weaker than the power of his father holding 200,000 thorn troops, the Holy Zhou temple capable sages, most of them come from Haoran, Wuya several major academies, although they are not the cultivation immortals in the mountains behind the academy, but in the temples, they are also high-powered officials and ministers, it can be said that the academy is fully capable The trend of dominating the rise and fall of the dynasty is something that even the high-ranking saint of today is powerless to stop.
And the existence of this recruitment order is equivalent to the fact that the winner has indirectly received the support of the academy, and can lead the lifeline of the court, which is naturally of great and far-reaching significance.
Lin Xiuyuan suddenly asked:
"The Chaos Stone was obtained in the battle platform competition, what about the recruitment order?"
The old butler explained:
"Not everyone can participate in this gathering, because it involves the luck of a country, and the participants can only be the famous families in Kyoto or a small number of royal relatives, so the number of places is not very many, and Confucianism requires all the cultivators who want to participate in the invitation letter to belong to the side with the invitation letter in order to participate in the battle platform, so the two sides are bound allies, and the final result only depends on the victory or defeat of the ring, and the winner is naturally both, each taking what he needs."
Lin Xiuyuan completely understood, one side has the strength to fight, and the other side has an invitation to participate, the two sides are mutually beneficial, but it is also fair, but in this way, it is necessary to look at the depth of each family's heritage, if it is a person who has a close relationship with the mountain, it is natural to be able to find a strong person to rely on, if the network is weak in this area, he can only wait for the cultivator who wants to participate in this matter to come to him, the strength is high, the depth of the opportunity, it all depends on luck.
The old butler said:
"This Juxian meeting was originally set a month ago, and the quota was basically divided, our Zhennan Wangfu because the prince and the princess were not there, so the palace also took the opportunity not to give us a place to participate, fortunately, His Royal Highness rushed back in time, it seems that yesterday's slap still attracted the attention of the palace to us, so the invitation was sent."
Lin Xiuyuan suddenly frowned and said:
"The palace didn't say anything else except an invitation? Didn't you mention the matter of Prince Gong's son? ”
The old butler was also a little puzzled:
"The old slave also felt strange, the people from the palace only said that they were sending invitations, and they didn't say a word about yesterday's events, not only that, but even Prince Gong's side didn't move, but it was a little unpredictable."
Lin Xiuyuan had some doubts in his heart, if it weren't for Li Mi's arrival last night, he might still think that the palace might know his martial arts identity and be jealous, but through Li Mi's words, he knew that this was absolutely impossible, not to mention that he was just forging the body realm to cultivate, even if it was a few stronger realms, it would not make a palace with a Confucian sage sit in the slightest fear.
I couldn't figure out the thoughts of the emperor's cousin, Lin Xiuyuan simply didn't want to, no matter what the other party wanted, he didn't care, if there was really any backhand, it was just a matter of seeing the move, took the invitation and thought about it slightly, and said to the housekeeper:
"Grandpa Liu, reply to the palace, we want the quota of the Juxian Association, and we will definitely participate when the time comes."
The old butler was naturally overjoyed, this was a great thing for the palace, and he was worried that His Royal Highness the prince would not want to participate, so he immediately said:
"The old slave will do it, and by the way, I will send a message to a few mountain masters who our prince has befriended, and let them come to help. Your Royal Highness rest assured, the heritage of our Zhennan Wangfu will never lose to anyone, and this gathering will take the lead. ”
Lin Xiuyuan hurriedly said:
"No need, the candidates for the participants, I already have them in my heart, Grandpa Liu just needs to reply to the palace."
The old butler was a little stunned, and then hesitated:
"Your Highness also knows the immortals on the mountain?"
Lin Xiuyuan didn't plan to tell the housekeeper his identity as a martial artist, so he changed his mind and said:
"I do know a martial artist, who is in Kyoto City, and we have a good relationship, so let him help me."
The old butler frowned and said:
"Wu Xiu? Your Royal Highness, our prince knows a lot of Confucian masters, although they are all immortals on the mountain, but those who are not Confucian will be safer, after all, the martial arts are relatively weaker. ”
Lin Xiuyuan squinted his eyes and said:
"Does Grandpa Liu think that martial arts cultivation is inferior to Confucian cultivation?"
The old butler smiled dryly:
"Then I don't dare, I'm a little mortal, how dare I talk about the immortals on the mountain, but I've heard a lot of rumors, after all, this matter is very important, Your Highness has to think twice."
Lin Xiuyuan smiled and said:
"Don't think twice, I believe in my friend, he is very strong, and he will never lose."
When the old housekeeper heard this, he knew that his Royal Highness had made up his mind, so he just smiled bitterly, so he no longer hesitated, and after answering, he hurried to make arrangements.
After the old housekeeper left, Lin Xiuyuan took the invitation letter and stood in the main hall, his eyes flickering slightly, not knowing what he was thinking......
......
In the depths of the Imperial Palace, outside the three palaces and sixteen courtyards, there is an independent courtyard, magnificent, there are a hundred gardens planted in the courtyard, there are 163 different kinds of famous flowers, which can be called the most fragrant flowers in Kyushu, this is the Changyang Princess Mansion that is extremely famous in Kyoto.
At this moment, in the scholarly pavilion in the depths of the corridor of the princess's mansion, Princess Changyang is located in front of a desk that is three zhang long and eight feet wide, which is made of a whole piece of white jade, with the four treasures of the study room and a blank scroll.
I saw that slender jade hand, the pen walked the dragon and snake, in one go, and the writing was completed in an instant, and there were only four words on the whole scroll.
Conspiracy is not planned!
She looked at her four big words carefully, and seemed to be very satisfied, the moving eyes narrowed into an arc, and at this moment, a maid came in at the door, it was one of the personal maids she was with before, and walked quickly to her, and then whispered two words in her ear, Princess Changyang's good-looking eyes fluctuated slightly, and chuckled:
"My emperor's brother's thoughts are always so unpredictable, he is the one who wants to attack the third uncle, and now he is the one who is trying his best to save it."
She obviously didn't say this to the maidservant beside her, so she set her eyes on the swaying figure in front of the tea table in the southeast corner of the room.
This is a girl who is unforgettable at just a glance, wearing a light blue gauze skirt, a delicate white and tender face, two thin eyebrows like willow leaves, with a pair of eyes that are better than apricots, faint red lips, the whole person just stands there soft and weak, but it is as beautiful as a poetic painting.
"I don't understand royal things, you don't have to tell me."
The girl lightly opened her jade lips, her voice was hollow, with a hint of pity and softness, she didn't look up, she was just busy with the things in her hands, making tea!
Princess Changyang put down the extremely precious Jizhou Minghua Xuanhao in her hand, slowly walked to the girl's tea table, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip gently, and sighed:
"After being away for so long, what I miss the most is the tea you made."
Then she looked at the woman again and said:
"Have you ever heard about the return of that cousin from my third uncle's family yesterday?"
The girl still whispered:
"Listened to some."
Princess Changyang said:
"I remember, you were married by the belly back then, but the situation of my cousin back then was known to the whole country, and then he disappeared for no reason, so no one mentioned this matter, and now he suddenly came back, and I heard that those strange diseases are gone, don't you worry, my third uncle came back and brought up the old matter again?"
The girl wrinkled her lovely nose and said softly:
"No one can make decisions for me if I don't want to."
Princess Changyang smiled:
"That's right, you can even refuse the invitation of Confucian sages, who else dares to force you?"
The girl said softly:
"I just like to read, not to practice."
Princess Changyang said:
"Reading is a practice in itself."
The girl shook her head slightly and said:
"It's different."
Princess Changyang smiled slightly, didn't say anything, but looked at her maidservant and said:
"Is there any news from that Mr. Xie?"
The maidservant whispered:
"Our people haven't found any trace of Gongzi Xie yet, Kyoto City is too big, I'm afraid it will take some time."
Princess Changyang frowned and said:
"The most lacking thing in this palace is time, send more people, no matter what, you have to rush before the Juxian meeting to help me find him."
The maidservant answered, and hurried away.
The girl asked without raising her head:
"This Gongzi Xie is the young martial artist you said earlier that you would help you fight off the Demon Sect outside Kyoto?"
Princess Changyang bowed slightly, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and said softly:
"He's not an ordinary martial artist..."
The girl finally raised her head, and said with some curiosity:
"Wu Xiu still divides this?"
Princess Changyang smiled slightly:
"Although this palace doesn't know much about the cultivation on the mountain, but I have also seen a lot of landscape espionage, I bet that this little-known Xie Gongzi, whether it is talent or strength, is definitely not weaker than those who are known as the demon generation on the landscape espionage. If it is this gathering, I can get him to help me, and the recruitment order will definitely be at my fingertips. ”
