Ruan Shuiwei finally stepped out of the palace gate, holding a brown wooden box in her hand, and stepped step by step through the outermost gate of Daming Palace, with the queen's token in her hand, making her journey unimpeded.

It's been ten years, and this is the first time she has stepped out of the palace gate, looking at the bustling streets and alleys, and she has a feeling of being separated from the world. Is it because I have lived in a quiet palace for too long that I have forgotten the ups and downs of the world?

She shook her head, not knowing the answer.

She walked through the alleys and came from memory to a small blacksmith's shop, where only a stout blacksmith was striking iron with a sledgehammer, and she waited quietly outside the door.

"This guest officer, do you want to build some weapons?" Liu Jingkang noticed that there was someone behind him, and immediately turned around and asked.

When he looked back, he couldn't help frowning when he found that the person looking outside the shop was actually a palace maid from within the high walls. After Yi Siye's oolong case ended last year, his blacksmith shop was lively for a while.

Among them, there were ordinary cultivators who came to admire him, and there were also eagle dog spies sent by the imperial court, which made him have to be careful everywhere. Now that so much time has passed, and the imperial court has sent people to come again, could it be that something went wrong at that time?

"My master wants to make a scabbard from you. Ruan Shuiwei said in a low voice.

"What kind of scabbard?" Liu Jingkang put down the hammer in his hand and walked up to ask.

I saw Ruan Shuiwei open the wooden box she was holding in her hand, and it contained a water-blue spirit sword, which was very exquisitely made, and the quality must be quite high.

Liu Jingkang held the hilt of the sword and waved it casually in his shop, then put the spirit sword back into the wooden box, and said lightly: "I can do the scabbard, you just put the things here, if you don't worry, you can send someone to supervise me." ”

It's not that he hates this palace maid, but after all, he is not a person all the way, so there is nothing to be polite.

Ruan Shuiwei smiled, lowered her voice and said, "Your name is Liu Jingkang......, right?

Ruan Shuiwei said, gently placed a silver ingot on top of the wooden box, and turned to leave.

Seeing Ruan Shuiwei disappear into the sea of people, Liu Jingkang restrained his murderous intent and carefully grabbed the silver ingot on the wooden box. You can feel that the silver ingot is very light, or that it is not silver at all. He gently crushed the silver ingot, only to see that there were more than a dozen green silk hidden inside......

At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, in an unknown valley.

"Master, the apprentice is about to leave the valley today, and I have come to bid you farewell. A young man with a long sword knelt in front of the grass house with a sword and kowtowed three times, "If you go to Chang'an this time, you will definitely get the top ten in the Star Club!"

"When you go to Chang'an, you still need to pay attention to one person. A faint voice came from the grass house, "His name is Xu Changfeng, and like you, he has also comprehended the Cold Rain Sword Sutra." It is even possible that his attainments in the Sword Sutra are even better than yours. ”

"Yes, I know. The boy said goodbye, got up and left.

He didn't know who Xu Changfeng was, and he didn't want to know who he was.

In his eyes, except for his master, there was no one who could defeat the Cold Rain Sword Sutra in his hand.

But since Master returned from a serious injury in the valley half a year ago, his temperament has changed greatly, and I don't know what Master and his old man encountered outside the valley. Isn't it just a long wind? As for being said to be so serious?

With the approach of the Star Society, many young cultivators have appeared in Chang'an City one after another. In addition to the young cultivators, there are also many powerful people from all over the dynasty, who came to Chang'an this time for the Star Society.

The Stars Festival is a sacred place for young practitioners to show their talents, and it is also a great opportunity to tap talents. Throughout the ages, anyone who can make it to the Xuandao list will not be far behind in the attainments he has attained on the path of cultivation in the coming days.

The strong all have their own tempers, and even the wealthy nobles dare not provoke easily. But it is difficult for strong people with potential to resist the temptation of money and beauty before they become famous in the world. In this case, with just a few rhetoric and a little money, it is easy to get a genius who has a chance to become a high-level cultivator in the future, so why not?

"What did you say?"

With Li Nie's shout, an official kneeling in front of him was already trembling, his face turned green with fright, and the sweat soaked the clothes behind him, flowing down his cheeks, and dripping on the gorgeous ground.

"My subordinates should die, beg the prince to spare their lives. The official almost burst into tears, and now if the big man in front of him had to say a few words, his life would be gone.

"Yao Guifei arrived. As the eunuch shouted from outside the main hall, the official couldn't help but be taken aback.

Yao Guifei, who was dressed in a gorgeous dress, walked up to Li Nie's palace with light steps, "I've seen the prince." ”

Li Nie waved his hand, his face still very solemn.

"Are so many of you all waste?" Yao Guifei immediately turned to the official and scolded angrily, "I can't even look at a living person." ”

"The subordinates are incompetent, and I ask the concubine to forgive her sins. The official in the court uniform lowered his head, and his words were already a little slurred.

"Yao Guifei, why don't you stay in your palace, what are you doing here?" Li Nie glanced at Yao Guifei and asked in a low voice.

"Aren't I in a hurry? Yao Guifei said angrily, "I often hear my family Jing'er say that Chen'er seems to want to participate in the Star Club, so I want to come over and report a message, maybe he just wants to participate in the Star Club." I'll be back when I've had enough......."

"The Stars Society?" Li Nie said angrily, "As the eldest prince, he can't stay in the palace well, thinking everywhere to compete with those cultivators on the rivers and lakes, how can he manage state affairs with peace of mind in the future?"

Li Nie said, turned to the official kneeling on the ground and said, "Go and ask Mo to stop the wind and check it out for me, if he really goes to participate in the Star Meeting, it will be fine." If something happens, you can do it yourself. ”

"Yes! Thank you, Lord Wang!"

After the official finished speaking, he hurriedly stood up and fled the palace in embarrassment.

Seeing the official leaving, Yao Guifei looked at Li Nie with a weak voice and said, "Thank you Lord for all these years of carefully cultivating my family and respecting children......"

Before she finished speaking, Li Nie immediately interrupted, "Concubine Yao, don't think that I don't know what medicine you sell in your gourd. Li Jing is a good seedling, as long as he can achieve great things, I will naturally not leave him alone. As for whether this crown prince can take his turn, it depends on his creation. Stand down, too. ”

"Yes......"

Concubine Yao left Li Nie's palace satisfied.

She came here for nothing else, just to say this rhetoric. Now the eldest prince Li Chen did not hesitate to give up his identity to escape from the palace in order to participate in the Star Club, what kind of system is this?

and the fifth prince Li Ziyan, who is already the son of a cheap maid, and it is cheap for him to live until now. He still dares to fight for the crown prince's position? He doesn't look at how many catties he has.

Now, as long as the situation continues to develop, it will be her son Li Jing who will win the crown prince. Mother is expensive by virtue of her son, and it won't be long before she is no longer this inferior concubine. It's the current dynasty, the Queen Mother!

"The Stars Festival is coming, and Chang'an City is becoming lively, aren't you going to go in and have a look?" Mo Xingxiao said to Wei Qijian, who was leaning on the railing and looking at him from afar.

"To go or not to go, the result is the same. Wei Qijian said lightly.

"There are still three days, can that kid really create a miracle?" Mo Xingxiao suddenly whispered, "Do you remember when we participated in the Star Club?"

"Of course I do. Wei Qijian nodded and said in a low voice, "At the Star Meeting that year, you defeated me by one sword and topped the Xuandao list." ”

Mo Xingxiao thought for a while, and couldn't help but think of a strange emotion on his face: "If you hadn't known that I was a daughter at the time, would you still have stabbed with that sword?"

"Who could have predicted what happened back then?" Wei Qijian shook his head and said.

He naturally remembered that if it weren't for the fact that he had opened the secret of Mo Xingxiao's female disguise as a man with a sword, he really couldn't guess who would have topped the Xuandao list in the end.

Mo Xingxiao couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces of Xu Changfeng's scenes during this time, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little pity. "You let him carry such a heavy burden, aren't you afraid that he won't be able to carry it?"

"If you can't bear it, you have to carry it. ”
