After moving the capital, Xiao Chenggang found a secluded place near the Jinluan Palace, and hung a plaque for Qianyuanzhai as his private study, and Hua Zhenchun also wanted to bring Xu Mo here to meet him.

After bringing Xu Mo to Xiao Chenggang, Hua Zhenchun retreated very consciously.

"Xu Mo greeted His Majesty. Xu Mo only bowed his hands and did not bow down, first of all, he didn't want to bow down in his heart, and secondly, he thought that his relationship with Xiao Chenggang was strong enough, if he didn't kneel, he wouldn't kneel, there shouldn't be any big problems.

Xiao Chenggang actually didn't mean to let Xu Mo kneel and bow, and prepared a chair for him early, stretched out his hand and signaled, "Immortal Xu doesn't need to be polite, please sit, please sit." ”

Xiao Chenggang's politeness made Xu Mo feel a sense of beauty in his heart, he sat down smoothly, and said modestly, "Your Majesty is serious, don't call me an immortal again, I really can't afford it, I can't afford it." ”

"No, no, no!" Xiao Chenggang insisted, "I am in the barren mountain, you have helped me several times, and even when Ah Lang went up the mountain to kill me, it was you who sacrificed your life to save me, and I always remember your great kindness to me in my heart, and it is also appropriate to call you Xu Xianchang." ”

Speaking of Ah Lang's massacre in the barren mountain, Xu Mo couldn't help but sigh, if he could have arrived earlier and learned more skills, maybe those kind bandits would not have to die, he lowered his head and said, "Alas, speaking of this, I am deeply ashamed, I am not good at learning and have no skills, if I know more magical powers, I can arrive earlier, maybe I don't have to die so many people." ”

His words successfully hooked Xiao Chenggang's sad feelings, Xu Mo also realized it later, and mentioned sad things, this is a big taboo in chatting, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "I don't know why Your Majesty is looking for me today?"

Xiao Chenggang sat down and said, "The main thing is to talk to you about the plan in the future, Emperor Yuan kidnapped Zheng Zhenren and Ma Zhenren, where to go, we must rescue the two real people before he can do it." ”

Regarding the question of where Emperor Yuan is at the moment, Xu Mo has carefully scrutinized and analyzed, and came to the conclusion that it is likely to be in the barren mountain, the reason is very simple, because Ah Lang died in the barren mountain, Emperor Yuan and Xu Mo are incompatible enemies, which is true, but often the more enemies are the more they can understand thoroughly, Ah Lang is the only one who came to this world with Emperor Yuan, Ah Lang died in the barren mountain, and Emperor Yuan could not ignore him.

Even if Emperor Yuan would not open the gate of heaven in the barren mountain in the end, he would at least go to the barren mountain to clean up Ah Lang's body.

So, Xu Mo said, "I can't be sure yet, but I think I can definitely trace the clues by going to the barren mountain." ”

Xiao Chenggang's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, I also think that he is very likely to appear in the barren mountain." ”

"Yes, he will never leave Alang. ”

Xiao Chenggang nodded and said, "In that case, I will immediately send someone to investigate." ”

Xu Mo shook his head and said, "I want to go alone, if he is really in the barren mountain, there will be many people who go, and he will startle the snake." ”

Xiao Chenggang understood what Xu Mo said, but he still couldn't let go, how terrible Emperor Yuan was, how vicious the people around him were, he had seen it with his own eyes, if he taught Xu Mo to go alone, it was very likely that there would be an accident, he still insisted, "If Emperor Yuan is really in the barren mountain, it must be in danger, I am afraid that there will be danger if you go alone, it is better to let Wei Zhongyang accompany you." ”

Xu Mo is very willing to have a deep understanding of this loyal eunuch with an abnormal personality, and he has seen Wei Zhongyang defeat the poisonous monk of the Western Regions with his own eyes, and letting him accompany him can indeed increase a sense of security, if his life is really in danger, he must have a broken queen if he escapes with oil on the soles of his feet.

"Okay, then let Wei Zhongyang go with me. ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Chenggang nodded, "There is another matter, I want to discuss with you, or ask your opinion." ”

"What?" Xu Mo's eyes widened, quite a little out of shape, he couldn't imagine that in addition to the incident of Emperor Yuan, Xiao Chenggang could discuss anything with him, of course, he also noticed that he had just lost his temper, sorted out his emotions and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty wants to discuss with me?"

Xiao Chenggang stood up and left the table with his hands on his back, and after a few hools back and forth in front of Xu Mo, he said, "This time I can expel Emperor Yuan from the palace, I can recover my memory and be Emperor Chu Hui again, your credit is the greatest, I want to ask you what reward you want, or rather, what official position do you want, all positions in the court are up to you, my idea is to let you take over the position of prime minister and assist me in the Great Chu Jiangshan, how about it? I hope you don't shirk, I can see that you have this ability." ”

Xu Mo was stunned, Prime Minister? Just kidding, this thing is not said to be able to be, in case you have poor self-discipline after taking over power and indulge in beauty and make you a great Chu country, you must not be drowned by later generations with spittle stars, let him be the prime minister, let old man Li drink the northwest wind? Thinking about it seriously, Xu Mo refused, "I still don't want Your Majesty, I'm lazy and used to it, I can't be serious, if you let me be the prime minister, I have to make you a big Chu country, Prime Minister Li Wen Taowu is slightly brave and loyal, better than me." ”

Xiao Chenggang surprised Xu Mo and said, "Do you know that it was Li Yuanheng's suggestion to me that made you the prime minister, and he wanted you to take over his class." ”

While speaking, Xiao Cheng just took out a copy of the book from the pile of books on the table and handed it to Xu Mo, Xu Mo first went to see the signature, saw that it was written Li Yuanheng, and then opened it to look at the content, which roughly means that he is old and weak, and he is afraid that he can no longer serve as the prime minister, and wants to return to his hometown, and recommends Xu Mo to succeed.

He was still very happy to be favored by this prime minister, but in order to maintain his demeanor and modest and polite personality, he was only pleased, did not accept it, put down the song and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li is just humble, in my opinion, he is not old at all." ”

"Of course I know that this is Prime Minister Li's humble words, Xu Xianchang, you really don't want to, if you don't want to be the prime minister, you can pick other positions in the court. Xiao Chenggang's face was sincere, and he couldn't wait for Xu Mo to choose seventy or eighty in one go.

Unfortunately, Xu Mo shook his head again.

"Well, since you don't want to, I won't force you to stay, you tell me what you want, it's always okay, as long as you say it, I will do it. ”

Xiao Chenggang gave up the idea of giving Xu Mo an official position, but he still wanted to give some rewards, this kind of characteristic stubbornness was accumulated by him for many years as an emperor, he should be rewarded for his merits, and he should be punished if he has a fault, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable.

So in the face of such an emperor, as long as you have merit, don't think about the breeze on your sleeves, and in the same way, if you have, don't think about escaping.

Xu Mo scratched his head as if it was difficult to choose between life and death, and after a long time, he said, "If Your Majesty, if you really want to give me something, give me a wedding." ”

"Wedding?"

You must know that Xiao Chenggang had never seen Yue Linlang before, and he didn't know the relationship between Xu Mo and Yue Linlang, and when he heard this, his natural reaction was: Xu Mo wanted to marry a princess in the court, so he asked, "Immortal Xu has a crush on which princess I have." ”

Xu Mo suddenly felt embarrassed, covered his forehead with his hand and said with a wry smile, "No, no, I just like a girl, and I want Your Majesty to hold a wedding for us." ”

After careful thinking, Xu Mo found that there didn't seem to be anything he particularly wanted, so he could only ask Xiao Chenggang to hold a wedding for him and Yue Linlang, isn't this a face-saving event hosted by the emperor, he has entered Yue Linlang's body, can he not give people a name?

"I don't know who this girl you like is, could it be Xiao Wan'er?" Because he saw Xu Mo for the first time in the barren mountain before, Xu Mo was walking with Xiao Wan'er, so he naturally thought about it.

Xu Mo shook his head, and said with a pale face, "It's Ma Zhenren's apprentice Yue Linlang, it's just that her whereabouts are unknown now, and I don't know where she went. ”

Xu Mo knelt on his knees.

This is the first time he has bowed to the emperor, for Xiao Chenggang, he really admires it, and if you want the emperor to hold a wedding for you, you have to show it to others no matter what.

......

In the small attic, the wind was calm, everything was as usual, and the snoring of the seal sounded rhythmically.

The sleeping Song Daoyuan, his soul seems to be in another world, or rather, it is not a world, it can only be said that it is pitch black that cannot be seen with his five fingers, no direction, no temperature, and he can't even feel the wind, he can only rely on the groping of his hands to move forward with difficulty.

I don't know how long it has been, and many familiar faces have appeared in front of Song Daoyuan, including Ma Ruixin, who has been waiting for him for nineteen years, Master Du Hongzhen, and even Xu Mo, they are all staring at Song Daoyuan with very strange eyes.

Song Daoyuan was also staring at them, but his eyes looked decadent, lost, and unconfident.

After staring at each other, the crowd spoke.

"Yuan'er, I didn't expect you to lose, or to a person who had never been famous in kendo before, do you know that since the first day you set foot on Zhengyang Mountain, I have regarded you as a person to inherit the mantle to cultivate, and your failure has disappointed me. "This is the voice of Master Watarihiro Zhenren.

"Dogen, I really didn't expect you to lose, your kendo cultivation is not as advanced as I thought. This is Ma Ruixin's voice.

"Senior Song, you are not ashamed, you still claim to be the leader of the sword, and you will lose to Liu Xiachen, I think you don't want to practice swords anymore, follow me, I originally wanted to learn your two-handed moves, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary. This is Xu Mo's voice.

And, of course, a lot more!

all questioned Song Daoyuan's swordsmanship, and even he himself was repeatedly asking, "My swordsmanship is really unbearable, and I will really lose to Liu Xiachen." ”

The word sword seemed to have been wiped out in his heart, and it was getting farther and farther away from him.

The surroundings became darker and darker, and Song Daoyuan became even more confused.

The inexplicable weight weighed on his heart, making him breathless.

"What is a sword and what ...... Is it kendo?"
