After Shangguan Yi came out of the customs with a complicated mood, Mo Lan's servant was waiting not far from the door, as if he had something to say to him.

"What's wrong?" Shangguan Yi asked him, could it be that something happened at home? No, who would dare to do this in Kyoto?

"My lord, the person you were waiting for is back, let you go back early after you get out of customs. He replied with a pleasing eyebrow.

"Got it. After Shangguan Yi replied lightly, he walked quickly to his house. On the surface, he was calm and calm, but in fact, he was just calm and calm on the surface, he was still very excited in his heart, but this excitement had to be expressed after seeing Hua Xiangrong, what if Mo Lan lied to himself? Wouldn't it be in vain for him to see the joke.

Although Mo Lan sometimes makes some innocuous jokes, he is still quite serious about the really important things, because it is immoral to joke about the things that people really care about and play tricks on others.

So this time his is true, he knows that Shangguan Yi cares about the news of Hua Xiangrong, for fear that if he doesn't pay attention, there will be news from afar that Hua Xiangrong cultivated his magic skills and died of demons, after all, the relationship between the two is very good, and the wind and rain all the way from the ghost capital to Kyoto were all made by the two of them, such a person can't be joked about casually, Shangguan Yi will really be angry.

As for why Hua Xiangrong came back suddenly, that was to surprise Shangguan Yi, so she desperately compressed the time, completed her cultivation in advance, and rushed back, but unfortunately it was not a coincidence that she came back, Shangguan Yi was not at home, it seemed that she had not returned from going out, so she could only wait at home for Shangguan Yi to come back. But the news of her return was soon known by Mo Lan, and Mo Lan also told Shangguan Yi.

After Shangguan Yi found out, he hurriedly ran back with the package, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Hua Xiangrong busy making dinner, still the beautiful and moving girl, but she had become much stronger, and even surpassed him, and took the lead in reaching the triple realm.

"You're back~" Hua Xiangrong turned her head to look at him as if she was observing, and saw him standing at the door, in a daze, smiling slightly, and greeting gently.

"Why do you seem to be the one who hasn't returned for a long time?" Shangguan Yi smiled, straightened his expression, and said seriously: "Welcome back." ”

"Thank you. Hua wanted to hold back a smile and replied with a straight face.

Then the two of them laughed at the same time, there was really no need for such a formal welcome, and their relationship was not so glassy, and they would not become strangers because of a momentary separation.

"Is the teacher gone?" Shangguan Yi felt the aura around him, a little melancholy, this is something he has already thought of, but it really happened, and he still can't get used to it.

The last time I left, when I went to do the task, I had already completed the task assigned by the teacher, of course, this is the name of the monk and Shangguan Yi, the teacher prefers to call it the final test, to test whether they are qualified or not, and whether they will lose his face in the future. The monk should also complete this task after he leaves, according to the teacher's law, after the two of them are completed, they will no longer have anything to do with him, and there is no need to call him teacher anymore, he will go back to guard the imperial tomb.

"Well, but the teacher has prepared a graduation ceremony for us, and your share is in your room. The monk came out when he heard the sound and spoke to Shangguan. It's just that when he spoke, he had some doubts in his eyes, because he had been with Shangguan Yi for more than a year, and he had a deep understanding of Shangguan Yi's ability, according to the difficulty of this task, if Shangguan Yi came out, he should be able to rush back two days ago, and the teacher also counted it like this, so he deliberately waited for a few times, until that night, Shangguan Yi did not come back, the teacher sighed, told him a few words and left Kyoto.

Shangguan Yi looked at the monk's skeptical eyes, patted him on the shoulder, and didn't explain anything, for familiar people, all explanations that are not facts are superfluous, and will only make things worse. He didn't want to mention the matter of retreat at Mo Lan's place, because it was very taboo.

"He's worried about you. The monk was faintly behind him, a little unhappy.

"I know. Shangguan Yi paused, then nodded.

"You know why you're doing this, don't think that if you don't, no one knows. There was still a lot of anger in the monk's tone, and his Taoism was not so deep in the end, and he couldn't suppress this anger because he cared about it.

"Not everything can be 100% sure, but this time I was at least 90% sure that I wasn't going to die, so I did it. You have to remember, don't be too rigid, the reason why man can become the most species in the world is because man has infinite possibilities, and no one can control the future development with certainty, and I am the same. Shangguan Yi finished with emotion and entered the room directly.

The monk stood there, blankly recalling some of the teacher's words before leaving: "After he comes back, as long as there is nothing serious, pretend not to know, there are some things he has to try, so he tried, because he himself feels that there is a necessity, maybe you don't approve, but you are not him."

It's good to be safe, but it's actually a bit of a sacrifice to be too steady, and small possibilities happen every time, people can't control these, and God can't do it, and you're just a mortal, and you should also consider changing your style of acting when necessary.

......”

"Okay, don't be angry, he also has his own considerations, don't look at him as if he is not afraid of death, in fact, he also spares his life, there is no necessary reason, he can't take such a risk, although I don't know what he did. Hua Xiangrong explained for Shangguan Yi that she didn't want the two to have conflicts because of such a thing, or even part ways or something.

“...... I know. The monk opened his mouth and wanted to talk to Hua, but the words still became those four words, don't tell Hua Xiangrong, the less people know, the better.

After Shangguan Yi returned to the room, as expected, he saw a brocade box, and after opening it, there was a pill and a letter inside, the elixir was a nurturing elixir that solidified the essence and nourished the spirit, it seemed that the teacher had already guessed Shangguan Yi's actions, and expected his failure.

"Don't be frustrated, don't be brave, the carp leaps over the dragon gate and turns into a dragon, I'm sure you'll find a way. ”

There is only this paragraph, and the others have already passed before he left last time.

"Of course. Shangguan Yi smiled confidently, it seems that the teacher is afraid that he will go on the wrong path after being hit, although there is indeed this possibility, but it is almost zero. What he cultivates by himself belongs to him, and using other methods is the next policy after all, and he will not use it if there is no last resort reason.

After putting away the elixir, Shangguan Yi left the room, but he was stunned as soon as he got out of the room. Because of the feeling of a crematorium, he was not very good.

Maybe it was because of the failure to rush through the level that caused the state to be unstable, or he returned to his own territory and was a little lax, he didn't notice that Phantom Dance Linglong knocked on the door and entered the courtyard, and was chatting with Hua Xiangrong at this time, Hua Xiangrong recovered her usual slightly cold appearance, and seemed to greet Phantom Dance Linglong kindly, but Shangguan Yi could obviously feel that she was very unhappy.

Hua Xiangrong didn't know Phantom Dance Linglong, and she hadn't seen her before, but she was not good after hearing her report to her home, a place like the theater, as long as she was rich and powerful, was actually not much different from the Qinglou, Shangguan Yi was undoubtedly a rich and powerful person, so she took it for granted that Shangguan Yi had done something. If it weren't for the girl at this moment, she would have wanted to pull Shangguan Yi's ears and scold him, would this guy die without a woman by his side?

In fact, I don't blame her for misunderstanding, the phantom dance is very good at arousing the desire of men in any way, and the men who can treat her are not many in Hua Xiangrong's opinion, and in fact, there are not many. In addition, there is a monk next to him who is fanning the flames with careful wording, and he will not school if he wants to misunderstand

"Childe, I haven't seen you for a long time, Linglong has come to you many times, but Childe is not here, and it seems that he is also a busy person. Phantom Dance complained slightly.

"Well, I'm busy, just say anything. Shangguan Yi asked very neatly and straight to the point.

If you like it, just say it, hey, don't provoke it, what do you want to do?

Hua Xiangrong next to him glared at Shangguan Yi and complained frantically in his heart.

"Linglong will leave soon after the New Year, and return to Beihan with the troupe. If you don't, it may be goodbye, I have inherited the grace of the son, since then, the theater has been safe and sound, no one dares to provoke, make trouble, and no one wants to be rude to Linglong, Linglong is grateful, so I want to say thanks, but I have not been able to find the figure of the son, until today. Linglong has no long things, even if there is some money, the son wants to come and can't look down on it, if the son does not dislike it, Linglong can dance for you in the New Year, but also pray for you. Phantom Dance is very sincere, as if she just wants to express her gratitude, so as not to talk about it again in the future, after all, this farewell may really never see each other again.

Shangguan Yi wanted to refuse, but Hua Xiangrong took the lead in speaking: "Sister Linglong is like this, you won't disagree, right?"

Shangguan Yi looked at her strange eyes and blinked, did he agree or disagree, did you mean literally or backwards?

Just when Shangguan Yi was still entangled in Hua Xiangrong's word game (sending propositions), the monk silently mended the knife: "The exquisite posture is crowned with a group of flowers, and the fantasy world dances in Kyoto, he must want to appreciate it again." ”

"Oh, then I'm going to thank you too, you won't refuse, right?" Hua Xiangrong looked at Shangguan Yi with a smile.

"Eh, no, I won't refuse, Sister Linglong is so sincere, how could I refuse, it's just that where we celebrate the New Year hasn't been determined yet, and I'll give you news then, okay?" Shangguan Yi swallowed his saliva, he obviously didn't do anything, and Hua Xiangrong was just a good friend, why was he so scared?

"Well, that Linglong is practicing diligently in the building and waiting for the news of the son. Linglong nodded, and did not refuse to spare the onlookers. The gratitude is sincere, it's not that she wants to do something else, and she also knows that she probably can't let this young man fall under her skirt, so she gave up, and naturally she won't ask to dance solo for Shangguan Yi.

"Good. Shangguan Yi nodded, and then sent away the phantom dance Linglong, and when he turned his head, he saw Hua Xiangrong's expression that seemed to be smiling and the monk's expression of watching the play, and a cocooned egg pain arose.

This night, Shangguan Yi took a lot of effort to convince Hua Xiangrong that it was Phantom Dance Linglong who made the first move on him, and he was innocent.

Of course, Hua Xiangrong had already believed it, she knew that this guy had secretly approved other women, so she just took the opportunity to tease him, but her acting skills were superb, and Shangguan Yi didn't even see it.

And then this is the successful unveiling of the page, well, in fact, it has not been completely revealed, for the monk's fall, Shangguan Yi has a grudge, and wants to find an opportunity to retaliate back, well, the male Rao's revenge is also very strong.

Because there is less than a month left before the New Year, it is time to start preparing for the New Year, of course, the first thing to determine is the location of the New Year, as the possible last New Year's pass in Kyoto, and it will be left after the New Year, so Shangguan Yi hopes to get together with his friends, so it should be said goodbye in advance. But because of Jun Yishen's identity problem, it is definitely not appropriate to come to them, so Shangguan Yi went to Jun Yishen, hoping to hold this annual meeting with him, and after playing with the emperor, he will move to the Prime Minister's Mansion for the second round.

In this regard, Jun Yishen raised his hands in agreement, the more lively it is for him, the better, and Shangguan Yi's friends in Kyoto are basically his friends, and it is not abrupt to invite him to come over. Well, in fact, it's a bit abrupt, after all, Jun Yishen + Qian Quanlin + Mo Lan = the leader of the Wenchen military generals + the leader of Dali Temple, if these three bigwigs gather together to discuss something, it is enough to affect the political situation of the entire East China Sea, and it is not too much to make people lose sleep, who would have thought that they would just raise it to drink and talk about it in the New Year?

Well, after the battle for the throne, Mo Lan not only returned to Dali Temple with his great achievements, but also became the secretary of Dali Temple, single-handedly controlling Dali Temple, assisting in the rectification of officialdom, and selflessly giving way to Quan Han, but no one dared to target him, which was the most terrifying. You may be found by him at any time, and then sent to prison to wait for beheading, but even if you catch his braids, you can't do anything about him, not to mention that in addition to the cruel methods of torture, people have raised their own organization and made money for themselves in private, there is really nothing wrong with it. If you want to bring him down, you have to be prepared to be doomed if you fail, but who has such awareness and ability?

The answer is no.

Mo Lan also has his own set of logic in removing people, he grabbed a lot of braids, but the people who were executed were greedy but incompetent, or capable but too greedy, brutal officials, and those who were dismissed and demoted were also those who were not worthy of status, these things, the bigwigs all saw it in their eyes, and they also felt that he was doing the right thing, although the means were a little not good, but it was not wrong, so they all acquiesced, including the emperor, Jun Yishen, Qian Quanlin, Wei Lao...... They are all Mo Lan's backing, who can move half a finger of him?

Therefore, in this situation, Mo Lan faintly has a tendency to catch up later, and wants to stand with Jun Yishen and Qianquanlin, but it is only a trend at present. But the news of the private meeting between the three of them is a nightmare for most people, and if it is not for some people, some other system will be put in place to embarrass them.

However, the three bigwigs don't care about this feeling, or they like to see it, only fear and fear can make people like forgetful creatures keep their bottom line, and only by inscribed fear into their souls, they don't dare to suck the blood of the country, eat vegetarian meals, and disregard human life.
