Chapter 167: Xuanwu Gate

"I heard that Song Que is going to Chang'an to participate in the matter of choosing the master of the Heshi Bi. Shen Luoyan put the pink pillow under her big belly and reclined on the boudoir, looking a little tired.

Mo Xiaolou touched her lower abdomen, and said distressedly: "It's almost born, and you still bother thinking about things." ”

Shen Luoyan smiled bitterly: "Husband knows that I can't be idle, if I don't find something to do, I don't know how to get through this day and night." ”

Mo Xiaolou gently supported her and helped her raise the pillow a little, and then nodded: "Fan Qinghui obviously dug a big hole, but Song Que jumped down without thinking about it." ”

He shook his head, his tone full of casual and leisurely, "However, Shi Shi has a high opinion of him, and I think his actions should have other meanings. ”

Shen Luoyan said casually: "If it were me, I would definitely choose to attack Chang'an on the day of the Ming Lord." Wipe out Li Valve and all kinds of anti-kings. ”

"Hmm. The woman must have thought so, too. ”

"Heh, Song Que is not stupid. It's up to whoever gets the last laugh. ”

The two chatted about other things, all of which were short in the family, and it didn't take long for Shen Luoyan to feel a little tired, lie down and fall asleep.

Looking at the beauty of the jade begonia sleeping in spring, Mo Xiaolou kissed Shen Luoyan's forehead, covered the quilt and went out.

After he went out, Shen Luoyan opened his eyes.

The husband is too light on the major events in the Central Plains. I hope I don't really need those back hands......

There is a secluded valley outside the city of Chengdu, with clear springs and flowing water, and a bamboo house.

Qin Chuan, Xu Ziling, and another woman with a beautiful face sat in the stone pavilion outside the bamboo house, on the ancient Xuan table, boiling a pot of tea, full of fragrance.

Qin Chuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile:

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but my sister's tea cooking skills are really getting better and better. ”

The sister in Qin Chuan's mouth is the daughter of the evil king Shi Zhixuan, Shi Qingxuan.

Shi Qingxuan and Qin Chuan grew up in Cihang Jingzhai since childhood, they are both childhood playmates and close friends in the boudoir, although they have similar personalities and similar interests, they have very different views on many things.

Although Shi Qingxuan was making tea for the two of them, it seemed that it was just out of basic hospitality, and he was not very welcome in his heart.

"Every time you Cihang Jingzhai heirs are born, there is always chaos in the world. ”

Qin Chuan smiled bitterly, "It seems that my sister has a lot of misunderstanding about this sect." However, Qin Chuan came on behalf of Jingzhai this time, and he really wanted to end the chaos in the Central Plains as soon as possible. ”

Shi Qingxuan said disdainfully: "What you did in Chang'an is already known to the world. This time you came to me, just to ask me to help you deal with Shi Zhixuan. ”

Just heard her call Shi Zhixuan's name, and knew that the relationship between the two fathers and daughters was very stiff.

Xu Ziling said in a timely manner: "It's not to deal with the evil king, just persuade him not to meddle in the affairs of Chang'an." ”

The hand pouring the tea stopped in mid-air, and Shi Qingxuan glanced at Xu Ziling, "You are Xu Ziling who just beheaded Xi Ying?"

"It's down there. ”

"Hmph, when, Mo Xiaolou's apprentice got together with Jing Zhai. And ......"

She pursed her lips and said with disdain: "Everyone in the world knows that your teacher has a grudge against Li Yuan, but you just followed Jingzhai to help Li Valve, heh, you are really a good apprentice." ”

When Qin Chuan heard Shi Qingxuan say the three words "Mo Xiaolou", his jade hands trembled, and his eyebrows were lowered and he fell into deep thought.

Xu Ziling was also stunned,

Why did Shi Qingxuan downplay the master's old bottom?

Do they have a grudge?

His eyes flickered a few times, Xu Ziling secretly looked at Qin Chuan, but saw that the fairy was bowing his head and pondering, and the delicate jade neck exposed under the cloud temples made him breathe for a while, and it took a while to wake up from the fantasy that every man has, his face showed compassion, and he said abruptly:

"Master often said to me: He has no interest in the world, and for the sake of the world, he has already let go of his personal hatred. By doing this, Ziling is respecting the master's wish, ending the war as soon as possible, and making the people of the Central Plains suffer less. ”

"Poof!"

Shi Qingxuan sneered and said, "If you don't know, you still think that your master is also a disciple of Cihang Jingzhai." ”

Her words were originally a bit insulting, because everyone knew that Cihang Jingzhai only accepted female apprentices. The implication is that you master and apprentice are not manly at all, just like women.

In this day and age, scolding a man like a woman is a very serious insult.

Xu Ziling was secretly angry in his heart, and was about to sneer at each other, when he suddenly thought of his master's earnest teachings before leaving:

The mouth should be sweet, the skin should be thick, and it is really not possible to come to a set of the Diamond Sutra.

A perfect smile crossed his face, and a gentle and magnetic voice floated out: "The Buddhist scriptures have clouds: away from all appearances, the name is the Buddha." For the sake of purifying all sentient beings, the Taishi can even abandon the appearance of life and death, things and self, not to mention men and women? If one day the Taishi really worships under the Jingzhai Gate, the world will be nothing more than one less immortal and one more Bodhisattva!"

While speaking, he surrounded Qin Chuan with pious eyes.

Qin Chuan had just come back from his contemplation, and he glanced at him angrily, "Your trick to please the Buddha Gate is too heavy, and it is far worse than your master." ”

There was also a lot of ridicule in the words, and he didn't seem to take Mo Xiaolou's matter to heart.

Shi Qingxuan was stunned, but he also felt funny, this Xu Ziling didn't dare to offend Qin Chuan, and at the same time, he desperately tried his best to cover for his master, this kid is also interesting.

Unconsciously, her disgust towards Xu Ziling decreased a lot, and she even wanted to tease him.

She rolled her eyes, and suddenly giggled, "I said why did my sister come to see me with a man, it turned out that she was so entangled with him that she wanted to throw the hot potato to me." ”

Xu Ziling's tiger body was shocked, his heart wouldn't really be like this, right?

Qin Chuan smiled noncommittally and said, "My sister hasn't answered me yet, is she willing to persuade the evil king not to get involved in this chaos for the world." ”

Shi Qingxuan had a strange smile on her face, and said coquettishly: "Sister, you say, is Mo Xiaolou really not interested in the world?"

Qin Chuan couldn't keep up with her jumping thoughts, but he also replied seriously: "How can I guess what the master thinks." ”

Shi Qingxuan seemed to think of something interesting, and smiled even more happily, "Then let's make a bet." You agreed, and I went out to convince my bastard daddy. ”

Qin Chuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "How to bet?"

"Tsk, just bet on whether your master will win the world in the end......"

"No, what my master ......"

Shi Qingxuan covered her stomach and smiled: "It's your Taishi." It's all the same anyway, okay. I bet that this world belongs, and the final winner must be him Mo Xiaolou!"

Qin Chuan thought about it and felt that no matter what the outcome was, he only needed to agree to the gamble first, complete the task assigned by Fan Qinghui, and let Shi Zhixuan go to Chang'an. So he said casually: "Then I'll bet that he won't get the world." ”

Shi Qingxuan drank the cup of tea in one gulp, and said, "The bet is...... Well, if you win, I'll take over Xu Ziling's hot potato as you wish, and if you lose, hehe......"

Qin Chuan secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and sure enough, Shi Qingxuan's next sentence made her almost squirt out half of the tea she drank.

"If you lose, sister, you will ......!" Shi Qingxuan pulled Qin Chuan to the downwind and whispered a few words softly.

"What?"

Xu Ziling was still glad to help his master get through the tricks, hid aside and wiped the old sweat, and looked back and saw an extremely charming picture: Shi Qingxuan hooked Qin Chuan's jade arm, Qin Chuan held Shi Qingxuan's slender waist, and the two turned into girlfriends and whispered with a gloomy expression.

In his heart, he faintly felt that it was not good, and it was very bad......

The two beauties of Tianxiang didn't care about him at all, Qin Chuan frowned, met Shi Qingxuan's ambiguous and slightly provocative eyes, and suddenly took a breath and said, "I didn't mean that to him...... But...... I'm still betting with you!, but the bet needs to be changed!"

"Hee-hee, you say. Shi Qingxuan said proudly with a 'I understand you' expression on her face.

"If you lose, ......!" Qin Chuan rubbed Shi Qingxuan's body again, biting her ear and said.

"Ah, this seems to be unethical, it's really exciting. ”

"I'm Di Niang, you two are playing so big!!"

"Shut up!"

The two women glared at Xu Ziling angrily at the same time, so frightened that he almost subconsciously leaned back.

Shi Qingxuan looked at Qin Chuan, pinched the joints of his hands so that they clicked, and said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth: "Since I was a child, I bet that I haven't lost to you yet, hum, bet!"

"It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

......

Just when the two girls were betting on Mo Xiaolou's matter, the eyes of all parties in the world converged on Chang'an City, where a major event was about to take place - the Lord of He's Bi.

People from all walks of life originally held a wait-and-see attitude, until someone released the news that Yuwen Tuo was winning over the princes of Saibei and sent troops to occupy Yanmen Pass, apparently intending to take the Central Plains again.

This news undoubtedly gave a blow to the anti-king who wanted to hide in the shadows and reap the benefits, after all, as long as Yuwen Tuo entered the customs to participate in the competition for the world, how could he still have the slightest chance.

Compared with Yuwen Tuo, Li Yuan is still better to deal with, what if his life is chosen by He's Bi?

These forces thought of it at the same time, and the trip to Chang'an was an opportunity for them to turn over.

And the feast of the Lord, we are going to decide!

"Hahahaha, Yuwen Tuo is really my Li Valve's great fortune star. Not only did he leave countless valuable wealth to Qiansui, but let me take over easily. In this major event, his wife indirectly helped us again, forcing all the anti-kings to come to Chang'an to participate in the election of the Ming lord of the Heshi Bi. Okay, great!"

In the Chang'an Palace, Li Yuan smiled arbitrarily, and his shrill voice echoed in the palace, like a ghost.

Prince Li Jiancheng also smiled: "In this way, half of the world has fallen into the hands of my father." Yuwen Tuo, if he is really obedient and doesn't do anything again, when his father unifies the world, he will still be named a prince or a prince. Our Li family also doesn't mind having an extra dog in the north. ”

Li Yuan was even happier when he heard this, and said proudly: "This is the most heartfelt, if this is the case, it is okay to give him a national surname." ”

At this time, Li Shimin, who was at the head of the group, suddenly said in a low voice: "It's just that Yuanji was harmed by him after all......"

Li Jiancheng's eyes darkened when he heard this, and then he flashed murderously and glanced at Li Shimin. He is not a fool, how can he not know that Li Shimin single-handedly harmed Li Yuanji.

If it weren't for the lack of evidence, he would have exposed his brother's hypocrisy on the spot.

"Yuanji......" Li Yuan frowned, and said in a cold voice: "This matter, and there is no need to take it to heart." Remember, you can't be an enemy of Yuwen Tuo at this time. ”

"Well, Erchen is awake. ”

......

Time is like water, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year, and the festival is coming, which can be regarded as adding peace and tranquility to this chaotic world. Although the war swept across the land of China, the Chinese people were still enjoying themselves, eating moon cakes and appreciating the moonlight.

"Hey, it's good if the master doesn't leave. ”

"Who's to say it isn't. If the Taishi is here, which round will get these anti-king presumptuousness. ”

"As soon as the first emperor died, the Taishi went away to Saibei. These killers jumped out one by one. ”

"Taishi's original intention was not to cause the people to be miserable because of the change of dynasty, but he didn't expect that there were so many careerists who wanted to get involved in the country. ”

"It's a pity ......"

The issues that people have talked about the most in recent years are still those of the past, and of course many different versions have been born. However, except for a few well-intentioned people and conspirators, no one can see clearly what kind of undercurrent is surging in the Central Plains at this time.

The arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival seems to have put a pause in the struggle between the various anti-kings, and the border conflicts are no more, and the conspiracies, calculations, assassinations, etc., seem to have stopped at the same time.

Everyone is very tacit, waiting for something.

Calm, depressing, boring, monotonous...... This is the overall tone of the land of China at this time. Everything depends on when everyone's tight strings are released.

And Mo Xiaolou, in addition to living a happy life without shame in the past few years, also took the time to fulfill his obligations as the head of the so-called "Kunlun faction", teaching the three thousand boys and girls collected by the eldest grandson Wuji that day.

His method of opening a sect was completely different from that of the time, and the disciples of the Kunlun sect did not know how to learn martial arts, but also to be proficient in literature.

Mo Xiaolou used his free time in the past three years to sort out what he had learned in his life, and wrote a book to say that all the martial arts classics were kept in the Sword Pavilion of the Kunlun School, and the books on literature and science were kept in the Book Pavilion.

If Kunlun disciples want to read these, they must exchange them for the corresponding sect points, and as for how to get sect points, of course, they are doing sect tasks. The points rules Mo Xiaolou naturally copied a set of those networks in the future.

It's just that the tasks released in the sect are also some chores, such as cleaning, finding lost pet cats, etc., some child's play, but also quite novel.

Mo Xiaolou will give a lecture for one day every month, from Wen Taowu to astronomy and geography, relatively casually, basically thinking of what to say.

"Shhh

In Mo Xiaolou's "laboratory", Wan Wan looked at the artificial rainbow produced by crystal prisms and water vapor on the laboratory table with bright eyes, clapped her hands and asked.

Mo Xiaolou smiled and said, "It's just a simple optical reaction, you can do it too." ”

"Then you teach me~"

"Well, you see, like this...... And then like this...... I put the prism here...... Well, that's it. ”

Mo Xiaolou took her hand and patiently told her the specific way to play.

"Hah, it's easy enough. It's a pity that this rainbow can't explode, something is missing. By the way, husband, what did you say last time that is called shaving made?

Mo Xiaolou's face darkened, and he knocked her forehead, "That is too dangerous, except for Mingyue, no one is allowed to touch it!"

"What, why can a big cow touch it, it's really boring......"

"If Mingyue hears you call her like that again, I won't help you block the knife. ”

"Cut, Wan'er's skills have advanced recently, and the big cow may not be able to beat me. ”

"Oh, really?"

Suddenly the air in the laboratory was cold, and a cold female voice sounded from behind Wan Wan, making her delicate body tremble, and after slowly turning around, she patted her chest and grinned:

"Miss Mingyue, why are you here and suddenly standing behind someone, it's scary. ”

Mingyue sneered, "Yesterday Xiaobai came back with a rash all over his body, this must be your Erniang's masterpiece?"

"How come, I was with the stupid husband all day yesterday, right, husband...... Hey, what about people?"

"Hmph, take itβ€”"

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
