Volume 1 The Prince Travels Back to Kyoto Chapter 41 Provocation

Lin Xiuyuan's words obviously reassured the old housekeeper a lot, and the old housekeeper didn't say much, but asked directly:

"Your Highness, when are we leaving? And that immortal, what do you need the old slave to prepare? ”

Lin Xiuyuan thought for a while and said:

"The Juxian meeting starts at noon, you don't have to go too early, the time is almost up, just set off again, but this time, I won't go, the house is fully represented by you."

The old butler was stunned and said with some surprise:

"Why didn't Your Highness go? I'm an old slave, how can I represent the palace, Your Highness don't be joking. ”

Lin Xiuyuan smiled:

"No kidding, Grandpa Liu has been working hard in the palace for decades, just like our relatives, and the chief housekeeper of the palace, how can he not represent the palace?"

When the old housekeeper heard this, his heart was moved, and his eyes were a little ruddy, but he still said firmly:

"The old slave is just the servant of the prince, and he is also your old slave, he can't be the master of this palace, please think twice."

Lin Xiuyuan held the old man's body to bow down, and said seriously:

"Grandpa Liu, I said you can, you can, this is what I requested, you represent me, don't worry about anything, and the reason why I didn't go was because I couldn't talk to you for some special reasons."

"So, please don't excuse yourself."

The old housekeeper took a serious look at His Royal Highness, and saw that his expression was serious, not like a joke, although his heart was bumpy, but he finally agreed, Lin Xiuyuan smiled:

"That's right, don't worry, with my friend of martial arts, he will try his best to protect you if you have anything."

The old butler only smiled bitterly at this, but did not answer. Even if His Highness had great respect for that martial cultivator, he still couldn't completely convince him.

What's more, there are some things that the people on the mountain are not willing to get involved in, and when the time comes, I am afraid that this Master Wu Xiu, who came from nowhere, will never be willing to interfere.

Lin Xiuyuan guessed what he was thinking, but he didn't say anything, since he didn't plan to tell the other party about his martial arts identity, there was no need to explain too much. Otherwise, it will make people suspicious, anyway, when the time comes, I will be there, and if there is anything, I will naturally not stand idly by.

After explaining to the old housekeeper, Lin Xiuyuan turned around and left.

Everything is clear, and next, it's time for Xie Wuming to appear!

Lin Xiuyuan, who returned to the room, closed the door, and after confirming that no one would disturb him, he began to dress himself again, chain armor, mask, cloak, and even the clothes on his body, all of which he had prepared early.

Then he picked up the long knife, looked up and down, when he came back, the long knife had always been wrapped, so in the house, no one had ever seen the appearance of the knife body, he carefully wound the handle of the knife with a strip of cloth, and took out a specially prepared scabbard and inserted the long knife into it.

In this way, the last point where you can expose yourself is gone.

After carrying the long knife again, after looking himself up and down in the bronze mirror, Lin Xiuyuan was quite satisfied with the appearance of a completely changed person.

Perceiving his surroundings, he disappeared into the house.

When he reappeared, it was in the backyard of the palace, and the first person he met was to go to the bedroom to find his Jin'er.

Jin'er was naturally shocked when she saw such a strange-looking young man appear in her backyard, and she was about to shout.

Lin Xiuyuan hurriedly stepped forward, covered her mouth that was about to scream, lowered her voice a little, changed her timbre, and said in a deep voice:

"I am a martial artist invited by Your Royal Highness, Xie Wuming, don't panic!"

Jin'er was covered with her mouth, her face was still a little pale, but seeing that the other party didn't seem to have malicious intent, she still blinked her eyes and signaled that she was clear.

After Lin Xiuyuan let go of his hand, Jin'er took two deep breaths before she could be considered relieved, and hurriedly saluted:

"It turns out that you are the immortal on the mountain, I am Your Highness's personal maid, and I have seen immortals."

Lin Xiuyuan coughed dryly and said:

"I... Heard him talk about you. ”

Jin'er blinked, although she didn't know why His Highness wanted to talk to him about herself, but when she heard this, she was still a little happy, so she asked:

"Then why are you here?"

林äŋŪįž˜ says:

"I have been living in the mountain behind your palace, and I am going to participate in the Juxian meeting today, your Royal Highness can't go if you have something to do, let me go with your Steward Liu."

Jin'er was a little surprised, she didn't know what His Highness didn't go, she was a little surprised when she heard this, but she still hurriedly said:

"In that case, I'll take you to the butler."

Lin Xiuyuan nodded, Jin'er led the way in front and came to the side hall, Lin Xiuyuan re-entered the side hall, and saw the old housekeeper who was also stunned, Jin'er hurriedly said his identity and origin, and the old housekeeper greeted him with a smile and said:

"It turned out that Xie Xianren came, I am very honored, Your Highness and I have already explained, what do you want, but it doesn't matter, the old slave will do it for you."

Of course, Lin Xiuyuan didn't have any requirements, so he shook his head in a deep way, and didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked the housekeeper to prepare to leave and go to the Juxian Palace!

The old butler naturally had no choice but to obey, notified the forbidden army guards, and drove the carriage that had been prepared to the main gate, and Lin Xiuyuan followed the old butler, one after the other, into the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, the two saw that Jin'er also followed, and the old housekeeper was a little stunned and said:

"Jin'er, you're not guarding at home, why are you keeping up?"

Jin'er's eyes flickered a little, but she said:

"Your Highness is busy, I'm fine in the house anyway, I might as well go with you to have a look, it's good to be strong."

The old butler smiled bitterly:

"Isn't this nonsense, maybe something will happen when the time comes, maybe the prince of Gong will also come, if you appear, in case of another incident, what should I do."

Jin'er smiled coquettishly:

"Jin'er is not afraid, anyway, with this Xie Immortal here, I believe he will protect me, right?"

Jin'er's last sentence was obviously said to Lin Xiuyuan again.

Lin Xiuyuan was a little stunned, but he still nodded silently, and Jin'er suddenly showed a sweet smile and suddenly got into the carriage.

The old butler smiled bitterly, shook his head, and didn't say anything more.

Under the escort of the forbidden army of the palace, the group began to walk slowly towards the Juxian Palace......

Along the way, the atmosphere in the carriage was strange, Lin Xiuyuan tried his best not to expose himself, he was as silent as possible, and he didn't speak much, the old housekeeper wanted to be close, but after several attempts failed, he didn't dare to say anything more.

On the contrary, Jin'er seemed to be quite interested in the young martial arts in front of him, and he didn't speak, but he was always looking secretly.

Lin Xiuyuan had already discovered that there was something strange in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, this feeling was almost exactly the same as the last time he rode in the same carriage with Princess Changyang, except that the two people next to him were replaced by the old housekeeper and Jin'er.

Lin Xiuyuan was a little embarrassed, and began to hope to arrive at the Juxian Hall soon.

After a long time, the atmosphere finally changed.

It's just that this change doesn't come from inside the car, but from outside the car!

The carriage stopped suddenly, and the old butler frowned slightly:

"Why stop?"

The person driving outside the carriage lifted the curtain and said with a somewhat ugly face:

"Elder Liu, someone is blocking the way in front."

The old butler frowned a little and said:

"Who is so bold, don't you know that this is the frame of the Zhennan Palace?"

The driver whispered:

"It's the Qi family, and the one who stopped the car is the mountain immortal invited by the Qi family."

The old housekeeper's face changed slightly, and it was also a little difficult to look at, Lin Xiuyuan saw this, a little puzzled, and asked in a deep voice:

"Why did the Qi family stop the car?"

The old butler said with a gloomy face:

"It must be Prince Gong's ghost again, the Qi family and Prince Gong are in-laws, and they are the descendants of Prince Gong, and they have never been at odds with the prince, so I am afraid that they are deliberately here to find fault. Immortals, sit down and let the old decay go and see, what do they want to do? ”

As he spoke, the old butler walked out with an angry face.

Jin'er looked at the back of the old housekeeper, a little worried, and couldn't help but look up at Lin Xiuyuan, but saw his eyes covered by the mask, extremely calm, and for some reason, he settled down.

At this moment, there were only two people left in the carriage, and the atmosphere was much better, because their attention was on the situation in the outside world, and they didn't have the heart to think much else.

As soon as the old butler got out of the carriage, he saw a young Taoist standing on the street in front of him, dressed in a blue robe, with a peach hairpin tied at the ends of his hair, holding a peach wood sword, with a proud look on his face.

And behind him, there was also a luxuriously decorated carriage, which stopped there, and the curtain of the carriage was drawn, and you could clearly see that the head of the Qi family and the only son inside were sitting in it with a playful face, as if watching a play, looking at the scene in front of them.

The old butler frowned, took a few steps forward, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, bowed and saluted:

"Dare to ask this immortal family, why do you want to stop me from waiting."

The young Taoist sneered:

"I'm not interested in the frame of your Zhennan Palace, but I just have something to explain to the so-called martial artist in the car."

The old butler said in a deep voice:

"What does the immortal want to explain? It can be passed on to the old decay. ”

The young Taoist sneered:

"You want to pass it on? Okay, then you tell him that if he wants to go to the Juxian Hall today, then get out of the car, kowtow to the poor road three times, and I will let you go, otherwise, you can go, and he will stay. ”

The old butler's face suddenly became ugly, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Why did the immortal say this, when did that martial cultivator immortal in our palace offend you?"

The Taoist sneered:

"As a martial cultivator, it is a sin to dare to try to participate in Juxian Pavilion."

The old housekeeper trembled, but he didn't know how to answer, the other party made it clear that he was here to find trouble, and this was to make it impossible for them to go to the Juxian Palace.

He thought that Prince Gong would cause trouble, but he didn't expect that the other party couldn't even wait for them to arrive at the Juxian Palace, and he had to do it on the way!

He couldn't help but look at the head of the Qi family in the carriage behind him and said:

"Master Qi, is it too much for you to do this, you are not afraid that the prince of my family will come back, and then the matter will be investigated?"

The head of the Qi family is a middle-aged man with a mustache, but at this moment he showed a helpless expression and said lightly:

"Steward Liu, what do you mean by this, this is not what I meant, Fan Immortal is dissatisfied with the martial arts cultivator you invited, and I am helpless, how dare I offend the immortal?"

The old housekeeper's face turned red, and he didn't know what to do, when he heard a low voice behind him...

"You said that Wu Xiu is not qualified to participate in the Juxian Society?"
