Looking at Xiao Wan'er in front of her, who was dressed as no one and no ghost, Li Ran couldn't cry or laugh.

He informed the Honglu interpreter on the side, asked the latter to help deal with a few foreign princes, and then pushed Xiao Wan'er aside like a chicken cub.

"My little highness, why did you come here!" In the corner, Li Ran said speechlessly.

"Hmph, you're embarrassed to say, Meow Meow is sick, I asked someone to go to the other courtyard to pass on you, I didn't expect you to be there, I asked Li Dehai about them, only to know that you carried me on your back and came here to have a good time!"

Xiao Wan'er pouted and said angrily.

"You misunderstood me, His Majesty asked me to attend the welcome banquet. Li Ran explained.

"Yes, I naturally know that my mother emperor called you here!"

Xiao Wan'er puffed out her cheeks angrily, and her cheeks were slightly red: "But...... But she didn't ask you to hold my third sister......'s hand! Little pervert!"

Hearing this, Li Ran had a black line on his head, thinking that this girl would be jealous at a young age?

"This is a misunderstanding, Your Highness the Princess. ”

Li Ran's face was embarrassed, he took out a blue jade bottle from his arms, and poured out a red and white elixir: "When we went up to the Holy Beast Mountain in the morning, the minister noticed that the body of the lion eagle beast was sick, maybe it was because the cold on the mountain was too heavy in the past few days, and the meow meow was old after all, so that the wind evil entered the body, and then the minister refined this "Peiyuan Dan" for it, which can get rid of cold poison and enhance physical fitness. ”

"Really?"

Sure enough, Xiao Wan'er completely forgot about what happened before, and excitedly took the pill: "Can this pill really cure Meow Meow completely?"

"Of course, the minister is specially refined for it, and I was going to find you in the afternoon and go to visit it together, but I didn't expect this to happen...... Ay. ”

Li Ran pretended to sigh, in fact, this Pei Yuan Dan was refined by him in advance and was going to be used in the cultivation of the day after tomorrow, anyway, there are many of them, and it is not a big problem to give this girl one.

"Oh, that's right. ”

Xiao Wan'er nodded, she didn't doubt the ability of the young man in front of her, but then she remembered something, raised a small face, and said righteously: "Although I accepted this medicine, don't think that this will make me forgive you! Hmph, don't think I don't understand, you are carrying me behind my back...... Steal women! or my third sister!"

As he spoke, tears appeared in his eyes.

"Princess, believe me, this is really a misunderstanding......"

Li Ran sighed, he was innocent in his heart.

"What the hell does this matter about my hammer! This Xiao Yanshuang suddenly attacked, I don't want to, I'm also a victim!"

"Besides, even if Lao Tzu really wants to steal, he will steal your mother...... Ahh

"These three princesses are obviously not my cup of tea. 」

"Okay, Li Ran, don't explain. ”

Xiao Wan'er looked like a businessman, carefully put Pei Yuandan into her pocket, and took a step forward with a pair of slender legs, "Princess Ben is gone, I'll settle accounts with you when you come back, and ask for more blessings!"

"Congratulations to Your Highness. ”

Li Ran shrugged his shoulders, and didn't bother to say, he has now completed the task of the system, and he is really too high to let the birds fly, as long as he doesn't die by himself, who can threaten an immortal cultivator?

He was just about to turn around, when a soft and glutinous body rushed over and plunged directly into his chest.

It's Xiao Wan'er!

"My little princess, what are you...... What do you mean?" Li Ran looked confused, and he was ruthless in the last second, and now he takes the initiative to give him a hug?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wan'er buried her head deep in Li Ran's arm, and said tremblingly: "Wild...... The boar spirit is here again!"

"Boar spirit?"

Li Ran was stunned for a second, and when he looked up, he saw a tall and burly, two-meter-tall man, wearing gold armor and holding a long knife, standing proudly among a group of guards at the gate.

"Wu Kun, why did this kid put on Jin Wuwei's clothes? Could it be—"

Li Ran came up with the answer in an instant.

"Why is this wild boar spirit everywhere! Didn't I tell him to get out!" Xiao Wan'er muttered.

"He will not be easy to lead, he is one of the four pioneers of the imperial martial arts conference, the son of Wu Zhen, the head of the six gates, Wu Kun. ”

Li Ran looked ahead thoughtfully and asked, "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you still want to go out, the minister can escort——"

"No, don't go out! That boar spirit is disgusting to death, I'll leave when he's gone!"

Thinking of the pimples on the flesh of the wild boar spirit that day, Xiao Wan'er only felt cold all over her body, and almost fainted.

"Alright, let's go back to the table, and you'll be standing behind me. Li Ran patted Xiao Wan'er's shoulder, re-glued the mustache that had fallen to her chin, straightened her official hat, and suddenly felt extremely funny and cute, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand again and pull her face.

"Don't touch the face of this princess without permission!" Xiao Wan'er stood on her toes, and her forehead hit Li Ran's chin fiercely, revealing a solemn warning expression again.

"I'm sorry, but Her Royal Highness the princess is so cute, the minister is really ...... Can't help it. ”

Li Ran smiled slightly bitterly, he was really telling the truth, Xiao Wan'er's appearance, in any country in her previous life, should be the kind of child who was most liked by adults.

"Cute?"

Xiao Wan'er was stunned for a moment, then frowned, revealing a tiger tooth, very fierce, "Cuteness has nothing to do with you!

"If only it had nothing to do with me. ”

Li Ran shook his head and muttered to himself.

"What did you say!?"

"No, nothing. ”

......

Next, Li Ran did not return to the VIP table exclusive to the royal family, but in the corner, he randomly picked an empty table with several Goryeo entourages and secretly observed the situation on the field.

Xiao Wan'er pretended to be an official of Honglu Temple and stood behind him, looking at Wu Kun who was guarding the gate with a pair of cat-like eyes.

On the high platform, Xiao Yanshuang, who was returning to the table, saw that Li Ran was gone, and a pair of autumn-like eyes looked around, her eyes were full of anxiety, and she almost didn't see the Goryeo princess Li Xiuyan next to her toasting tea with her.

"By the way, you haven't told me yet, why that wild boar spirit is here!" Xiao Wan'er couldn't help but ask.

"Wu Kun was instructed by others, he disguised himself as Jin Wuwei, and he came here for only one purpose, that is, to spy on the opponent's reality and fight for his own opportunity in the competition the day after tomorrow. ”

Li Ran casually picked up a piece of fragrant pig's trotters and prepared to start.

"Commanding?Who instructed this wild boar essence?Could it be the super wild boar spirit king!?" Xiao Wan'er's mind widened, and the fear on her face deepened.

"Are Her Royal Highness princesses sure you want to say that about your sister?" Li Ran said with interest as he chewed on the pig's trotters.

"What! This boar spirit was sent by my sister?"

Xiao Wan'er looked shocked, and then said sneeringly: "Wait, which sister? By the way, Xiao Lingqiu, she is not my sister!"

"It's not the eldest princess, it's your second sister, Princess Qingxue. ”

Li Ran frowned, "The relationship of interests in this is too complicated, you just need to know that among the four pioneers of the imperial court this time, Xie Huan is undoubtedly the eldest princess's person, Wu Kun and his father Wu Zhen have always been the second princess's people, and the second princess has a very good relationship with the martial arts forces of the imperial court, so he can insert Wu Kun into Jinwuwei and infiltrate Honglu Temple." ”

"As for the third princess's gentleman, Xiangbei swordsman Chen Feng, this kid is indeed a real son of a poor family, relying on his own strength to work hard, without any backing, but at present, it seems that he also has his own backstage. ”

"Who?" Xiao Wan'er asked instinctively.

"Do you see the young man in eunuch costume behind the third princess? If I'm not mistaken, this person is Chen Feng, his backstage, I believe I don't need to say more, right?"

Li Ran said with a deep gaze.

Yes, Fang Cai Wen Zhirong suddenly asked Xiao Yanshuang to come over, he hadn't figured out what was going on, but now he finally understood.

He, Wenbo, does not stand in line on the surface, but in fact, he has formed another party with Kong Xiangyun of the Hanlin Academy, Gu Chuanzhi, the secretary of the military department, Yu Guangzheng, the secretary of the Dali Temple, and others-

They not only oppose the monstrous power of the eldest princess's "Xiang Party", but also wary of the military attaché forces of the "second princess" plotting against them, so they are determined to win over the third princess Xiao Yanshuang, and intend to pull Chen Feng, the swordsman of Xiangbei, into their camp.

Now it seems that this Chen Feng has completely agreed, in the end, he is a grassroots disciple, in this dangerous palace, why doesn't he want a stable backer?

As for Xiao Yanshuang's mentality, Li Ran actually didn't dare to conclude, after all, a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, maybe under the weak and gentle appearance, there is a great imperial ambition hidden?

"Oh, what you said is too complicated, this is obviously a simple fighting competition, there are so many inexplicable mysteries in the imperial court every year!" Xiao Wan'er said with a suffocated mouth.

"This year is different, Princess. Li Ran shook his head and said: "The imperial court has been defeated for two years, and Your Majesty once said that if someone makes the first contribution to the empire, the position of "military governor" of the four major provinces in the East China Sea will belong to whom. ”

"That is the fat shortage of more than 100 Jianghu forces in the East China Sea, tens of thousands of martial arts warriors of the Holy Martial Academy, not inferior to the military governor of a state, and it is also based on this that the major factions of the imperial court have tried every means to recommend their own talents, trying to win the victory of the martial arts conference, and finally compete for this position. ”

"Oh, it's so troublesome, these ministers, why are they so bent and thoughtful!" Xiao Wan'er was so shocked when she heard this.

"I can't help it, princess, and the minister hates these things, but that's politics. ”

Li Ran looked at the simple girl next to him, and for a while, he was only glad that the other party was the same as himself, a salted fish with no ambitions.

"Then my mother emperor doesn't know what these people are thinking?" Xiao Wan'er couldn't help but ask again.

Hearing her say this, Li Ran couldn't help but have that beautiful and noble face in his mind.

Yes, how could she not know the thoughts of these ministers, such as her mother-in-law, who was incomparably beautiful and powerful?

The reason why she boldly released her words is that, on the one hand, the position of "Martial Governor" is high and powerful, and it must indeed be occupied by those who are capable, and on the other hand, she also has her own plans and hole cards.

It was also at this moment that Li Ran fully understood that this might be the real reason why the empress sent herself to the welcome banquet.

She wants to let herself spy on her younger brother Li Huan at this welcome banquet and help him win the opportunity to dominate the enemy!

After all, in her eyes, he Li Ran was able to easily blow out a hundred ever-bright candles in one go, and he was by no means an ordinary person!

It's a pity, what she doesn't know is that Lao Tzu is an immortal cultivator, and he really doesn't understand martial arts.

Li Ran shook his head in his heart.

"Wait a minute, didn't you just say that Xie Huan's little white face is the person who is the eldest princess, why didn't you see him?"

Xiao Wan'er suddenly remembered something.

"He didn't come. ”

Li Ran also pondered for a long time and said, "But I guess...... The eldest princess should have arranged for him to come, but this kid is arrogant by nature and never takes the other party in his eyes, so he should disdain this kind of thing. ”

This is very similar to his younger brother.

"Hmph, this guy will definitely be beaten up badly when the time comes!" Xiao Wan'er bit her lip and said, as if she was still haunted by Xie Huan's injury to Xiao Hei.

"I agree with the princess's wish on this, come, let's make a chicken leg!"

Li Ran smiled slightly, picked up a fragrant palace secret chicken thigh, and handed it to Xiao Wan'er.

"I ...... This princess doesn't eat such greasy things!Take it away!"Xiao Wan'er turned her head, but as soon as she finished speaking, her stomach made a "cooing" sound.

Li Ran chuckled, and was about to stuff the chicken leg into her mouth, Xiao Wan'er gritted her teeth and said, "Wait!"

"What's wrong?"

"You...... You tear off the fat on the outside for me!This princess only eats thin ones!" Xiao Wan'er said with a blushing face.

Before she finished speaking, Li Ran had already stuffed the whole chicken leg into her mouth.

Feeling the fleshy feeling of a foreign body coming from her mouth, Xiao Wan'er's pupils shrank, her little face turned red, and she was about to get angry, when a rich smell of meat permeated the tip of her tongue.

"Princess, do you know that among the heavens and worlds, no one can escape the law of "true fragrance". ”

Li Ran looked at the girl who had gone crazy with emotion, shook his head and said, "You can't either." ”

Xiao Wan'er didn't hear what he said, and while eating, she said vaguely: "By the way, what about the last pioneer Li Huan, who is he?" I saw this person during the Great Dynasty Meeting, he was about the same age as me, but he seemed to be stupid......"

"This Li Huan, ah......" Li Ran frowned, and suddenly thought of Liu Liang from Dongchang, yes, Li Huan was recommended to the empress by this old eunuch.

However, in Li Ran's opinion, this eunuch has never participated in any party camp, everything he does is for his own interests and the stability of his position in the future.

If Li Huan wins, this guy's waist will be straighter in front of the empress, and the small deeds of his disciples in the East Factory who are collecting wealth and hiding personal interests will naturally be smoother.

"Li Ran, in fact, I feel that Li Huan looks quite similar to you, but ......" Xiao Wan'er ate almost, wiped her mouth, and smiled: "You are more like a girl than him." ”

grass, I know that this girl can't spit out good words in her mouth.

Li Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "Princess, tell you a secret, as long as the two of us know." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Wan'er was stunned.

"Li Huan does not belong to any faction in the imperial court, he is our person, my person and yours. Li Ran said with a deep gaze.

Just now, he had already made a decision that he must help his younger brother win the competition and win the position of military governor!

Xiao Wan'er looked stunned and was about to ask a question, when Wen Zhirong, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, came to the stage and said with great interest: "This official has heard the name of the martial arts masters of your friends for a long time, and it is rare for everyone to gather together today and have a good time, but who is willing to go on stage and perform to help Yaxing?"

"Look, tonight's real finale begins. Li Ran looked ahead.

"Huh, what do you mean?" Xiao Wan'er was puzzled.

"A real Super Smash Bros. A deep smile appeared at the corner of Li Ran's mouth.
