Chapter 49: Déjà vu

[The 71st year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, March 13th, the end of the time, in the courtyard of Tianbao Pavilion]

At this moment, Murong Yan was holding a watering can in her hand and was watering the flowers and plants in front of her court. While sprinkling water, she smiled and said to Murong Huan behind her:

"Second brother, you are a big man's family, you don't do so many serious things, but you like to come to my yard to serve these flowers and plants. People who don't know think you have some quirks in you?"

What Murong Huan was holding in his hand at this time was neither a sword, a gun, a sword, nor a long or short slender, but a small iron hoe with a short handle. That small iron hoe was exactly what Murong Yan usually used to turn over the soil and plant flowers and plants. I saw Murong Huan holding an iron hoe in his hand, carefully rummaging a batch of loose soil in front of the court. It is the early spring season, and he wants to plant some purple orchids, alfalfa, and the third sister's favorite green plum for the third sister.

"What kind of thing is considered a serious matter? Princes, generals, prime ministers, and ministers, are those people busy with things, is it a serious matter? In my eyes, helping my third sister plant these flowers and plants is the next major thing in the world!" Murong Huan said with a smile.

"Hehe, the second brother is the best at coaxing people, obviously you are hiding and don't want to see the guests in the front hall, but you said that you came to help the little sister plant flowers, and you said it so nicely!" Murong Yanwu teased herself.

"Third sister!" Murong Huan pretended to be a little angry and said, "Do you want to give the second brother a little face! What's wrong with the guests in the front hall? Don't say it's just a prince, even if the Son of Heaven is here in person, if I Murong Huan doesn't want to see it, I won't see it either!"

"Okay, well, the second brother is the most powerful, in the whole world, there is no one my second brother is afraid of......" Murong Yan put down the watering can, and was about to invite her second brother to sit in the courtyard for a while, but suddenly heard a woman's coquettish voice from outside the courtyard:

"Wooden barrel bowl, you are such a big shelf, my third brother bent down to your Tianbao Pavilion, you dare to avoid it!"

With this coquettish voice, four people walked in from outside the courtyard gate one after another, namely Murong Ming, Li Yi, Yiqing and Li Qi. Li Qi walked at the end, and she couldn't bear it the most, she heard Murong Meng say that the second brother was in this courtyard, and he was the first to can't help it, and he took the lead in shouting.

Seeing that Murong Huan was still holding this third sister's small iron hoe in his hand at this moment, Murong Huan was a little reproachful: "Second brother, His Royal Highness King Zhao came to see you in person, why did you come here?"

Li Yi hurriedly strode up to Murong Huan and arched his hand: "Brother Murong, Li Yi has come to see you!"

Seeing that the world-famous Zhao Wangye was so polite to his second brother, Murong Miao couldn't help but be stunned. Not only was Murong Meng very surprised, but Yiqing and Li Qi behind couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Murong Huan originally heard Li Qi's words being very disrespectful to him, and he couldn't help but snort with his nostrils facing the sky. Seeing that Li Yi was so polite to himself at this time, he didn't want to be too big, so he had to put down the hoe, take a little mud in his hand, and slightly arch his hand to Li Yi:

"Brother Li Yi, I haven't seen you for many days, is this always good?"

"Thanks to Gongzi Rong's blessing, Li Yi's body has always been fine!" Li Yi replied with a smile.

Murong Huan asked, "Brother Li came here today, is there anything wrong?"

Li Yi said: "Li Yi has something to ask for, I hope Brother Murong can agree!"

Murong Huan didn't raise his head, and Gu Zi walked under a banyan tree in the courtyard, where a stone table was placed, and there were several stone benches next to it.

"Don't say anything, this thing...... I'm not interested!"

Murong Huan picked up a stone bench and sat down, picked up a cup of tea on the stone table, took a big sip of himself, turned his back to Li Yi, and replied indifferently.

......

At this moment, the atmosphere on the field was inevitably awkward.

Murong Miao was about to accuse his second brother of not understanding the rules too much, but he was stopped by Li Yi waving his hand, he said no, he didn't say it, and his expression was extremely embarrassed.

Murong Yan was surprised to see that the other party was actually Li Yi, the deputy pavilion master of the famous Great Qianshen King Pavilion, and at this time, seeing that her second brother was so snub to Li Yi, and before the other party could say what she wanted, she couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Yi Qing heard the name of Tianbao Pavilion for a long time, and when she saw this second son of Yushu Linfeng, she also admired his splendid demeanor, but when she saw that this second son was so arrogant and rude to King Zhao, she really didn't expect it.

It is okay not to respect the king of Zhao, Li Yi, to say "Your Highness", and his words are still so simple and slow, he actually looks at the Prince of Qizhu in front of him as if he is nothing!

In Yiqing's eyes, Li Yi, the king of Zhao, is a noble figure second only to her master. Although she usually jokes about Li Yi, she has a heartfelt respect for Li Yi in her heart. But now this Murong Gongzi can see that inside and out, inside and out, from the inside out, he just treats Li Yi as an ordinary person.

The most angry was naturally the seventeenth princess Li Qi, she saw that Murong Huan was so "ignorant", she was furious, she walked to Murong Huan's side in three steps and two steps, and with a "snap", Murong Huan's tea bowl was pushed to the ground, and the bowl full of freshly brewed jasmine tea suddenly turned into scraps all over the ground. Even Murong Huan's body and legs were sprinkled with some tea. I only heard Li Qi pointing at Murong Huan's nose and said coquettishly:

"What are you so angry about! Aren't you just a broken wooden barrel and bowl? Even if you have some skills, you don't have to be so crazy, right?! This princess has seen a lot of people, but this is the first time this princess has met someone as crazy as you!"

"You ......" Murong Huan couldn't help but be extremely annoyed when he saw that his sister had just brewed a cup of fragrant tea for him, but he was pushed to the ground by the other party. He got up and was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly saw that the girl in front of him was very familiar, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Huh...... Is that you?"

"That's right, it's this princess, that night I promised you to come to the rescue and subdued the tiger, this princess will thank you first!" Li Qi glanced at Murong Huan, and slightly clenched his fists, which was regarded as a salute of thanks.

"However, my third brother came to see you and was so polite to you, why are you so respectful? In my third brother's life, the only one who can treat you so politely is to you, except for my father. What's so great about you? You don't even look at my third brother!"

"This ......" Murong Huan at this time didn't know why, instead of getting angry, he felt that what Li Qi said also made some sense.

"Aren't you ...... Too arrogant?"

People are so strange, just now they still looked at the world, there was never half a figure in their eyes, and in a blink of an eye, they could suddenly change their attitude because of a certain sentence.

The most important thing is naturally the girl who spoke, what kind of girl is that? In Murong Huan's heart, he couldn't say why, he just suddenly had a sense of déjà vu towards the other party, as if they had met a long time ago......

"Brother Murong, my sister is rude, please don't blame Brother Murong!" Li Yi strode over, and when he saw that the seventeenth sister was so willful and broke someone's teacup, he hurriedly bowed his hand to Murong Huan again and again, apologizing.

"It's nothing, it's just a teacup, Brother Li, Shicai is also a little inappropriate in his words, please don't be strange Brother Li!" Murong Huan also bowed his hand and saluted.

"Where...... Brother Murong is polite!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Brother Li, please take a seat!" Murong Huan said indifferently.

"Brother Li, who is this?" asked Murong Huan.

Li Yi hurriedly said: "Oh, she is my seventeenth sister, named Li Qi." Seventeenth sister, you broke someone's cup just now, why don't you make amends to Brother Murong!"

"Hmph! no!" Li Qi turned his head and said.

......

Next, Murong Yan and Yiqing also walked under the banyan tree, sat down on the stone table, and everyone introduced them. Murong Miao took advantage of something to do and retired to Li Yi first.

At this time, Murong Huan's attitude was obviously more easy-going than before, and when he saw that there was no tea on the table, he asked his sister to prepare some refreshments for the guests. Murong Yan answered and went busily on her own. 52

It was Murong Huan who spoke first: "Brother Li, what do you want Murong to help, is it the cat demon?"

Li Yi nodded and said: "Brother Murong is really clever! Don't hide it from Brother Murong, in the past few days, the cat demon has been haunting, there are dead people everywhere in the capital, the people of Chang'an are panicking, and Li has also been disturbed by this case. But no matter what we think of, we still can't catch that cat demon, yes, Li wants to ask Brother Murong for help, let's think of a way together, we must take that cat demon!"

Murong Huan waved his hand and said, "Brother Li's martial arts can already stand alone in the world, and even Brother Li doesn't have anything to do, so what can I think of if I call Murong Huan?"

Li Qi immediately snorted coldly: "If a person with ability says that he has no ability, then it is called 'pretending'! The more capable a person is, the more he says that he has no ability, then he is 'fake'! A dignified second son of Tianbao Pavilion, can he only have the ability to 'disguise'?"

Yiqing couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard it, but Li Yi laughed and didn't say anything.

Murong Huan had no choice but to say again: "Besides, there are many trivial matters in my Tianbao Pavilion, Brother Li, I can't leave!"

Li Qi sneered again: "I see, it's not that you can't leave, you are ...... Scared, aren't you?"

Murong Huan couldn't help but get up, and said, "Don't say it's just a cat demon, even if the twelve of them come together, this son will be able to catch it!"

At this time, Li Qi stopped talking, and Li Yi and Yiqing also looked at Murong Huan with a smile.

Murong Huan secretly said that it is not good, I actually fell for that girl's trick! At this time, what he said in his mouth was already spilled water, where could I get it back?

However, Murong Huan calmed down and thought about it carefully, but he still changed his words: "It's just that I really can't leave this time, Brother Li, you better ask another master!" He thought to himself, what kind of person is my Murong Huan, how can I be bewitched by you as a yellow-haired girl?

At this point, Li Yi knew that it was useless to say more, he saw that Murong Huan was determined to help, so he didn't want to force it, and when he was about to get up to say goodbye, he heard Li Qi beside him say again:

"Murong Gongzi, Li Qi has something to ask for!"

"You say!" Murong Huan sat down again.

"Li Qi has heard that all those who practice the Tao and the Dharma regard it as their duty to catch demons and subdue demons, and the greater their ability, the greater their responsibility! Now a cat demon has suddenly appeared in my Chang'an City, and that cat demon charms men with evil magic and magic, and specializes in absorbing men's essence to harm the world! In just a few days, no less than ten people have died under the claws of that cat demon. Tianbao Pavilion is located in the hinterland of Chang'an, located in the north and south, and has won the benefits of the capital! As the second son of Tianbao Pavilion, there is a monster at the door of your house, shouldn't you take on the heavy responsibility of catching the monster and defending Chang'an?"

As soon as Li Qi's words came out, Yiqing couldn't help but nod frequently when she heard it, and said in her heart that Sister Xiaoqi deserved to come from the court, but this truth was irrefutable!

Unexpectedly, Murong Huan sneered: "Miss Li Qi, what you say is wrong! Fairies are also good and bad, not all monsters are good and bad. The cat demon just ingested the man's essence with the 'Technique of Harmony', and those who were bewitched by her might not all die. As for what you said about 'catching monsters and defending Chang'an', it should be the responsibility of the imperial court, but what does it have to do with my Tianbao Pavilion? What's more, although I have practiced some Taoism, there are so many goblins in the world, where can I catch them?"

Li Qi hurriedly said: "My third brother has already found out that the culprit in this case is indeed the cat demon! Of the men who were bewitched by her, only two of them have survived, and the other twelve have died...... If you don't help, forget it, you're still talking cool there! You're right, 'catching monsters and defending Chang'an' is the responsibility of the imperial court, but it's also the responsibility of all the big cadres and people! If Chang'an is destroyed, your Tianbao Pavilion will not be much better......"

Li Yi saw that his seventeenth sister's words were already a little invisible, so he hurriedly stopped Li Qi and said, "Forget it, seventeenth sister, Murong Gongzi is unwilling, how can we force it! Let's go......

After that, he wanted to say goodbye to Murong Huan, but at this time, Murong Yan had already walked over with her personal maid Chunchun, and the two of them each held a large food plate with some exquisite tea and snacks on it.

"Two highnesses, why are you in such a hurry to leave!Since you have come to my courtyard, then sit for a while......" Murong Yan said enthusiastically while putting the tea cups and snacks on the food plate one by one on the stone table.

When Murong Yan walked in front of Yiqing, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other for a while, and they actually said in unison: "It's you?"

At the beginning, Murong Yan and Yiqing both paid attention to the conversation between Li Qi and Murong Huan, and neither of them stared at each other carefully, until this moment, when the two took a closer look, they recognized each other.

It turned out that on the night in front of the ancient temple of Yushan half a year ago, Murong Yan and Xu Ke were chased by a black bear spirit, and when they were about to become rations in the mouth of the black bear spirit, fortunately, Yiqing and Yichen arrived in time and killed the black bear spirit with a flying sword, which allowed Murong Yan and Xu Ke to escape.

"Second brother, this sister is the life-saving benefactor I told you!" Murong Yan exclaimed happily to Murong Huan.

Immediately, she bowed to Yi Qing Yingying again, and said earnestly: "The benefactor is above, please accept Murong Yan's worship!"

Yi Qing hurriedly got up and hugged Murong Yan, and said, "Sister, don't do this big gift! That night, my senior sister and I also happened to pass by, and when we saw the goblin doing something wrong, we got rid of it on the way!"

After she and Murong Yan were seated again, Yiqing said without a point: "I am a member of the Dao Sect, and I originally took it as my responsibility to eliminate demons and catch demons, so why should I take it to heart about trivial matters, my sister will never mention it again in the future!"

"My sister is ashamed, I don't know my sister's name?" asked Murong Yan.

"Oh, I'm a subordinate of the Emei faction, and my name is Yiqing. It was my second senior sister who killed the black bear spirit that night, her name is Yichen!"

"Sister Yiqing, my name is Murong Yan, and my sister will call me 'Xiao Yan' in the future! I never thought that Xiao Yan would be able to meet Sister Yiqing who saved me in her own courtyard! After that, my sister is free, but I want to come more......" After Murong Yan saw Yiqing at first sight, she couldn't help but feel very happy, she was busy pouring tea and handing fruits for Yiqing, and she was very enthusiastic......

"Sister Yiqing...... What the hell is going on?" Li Qi, who was sitting on the side, had already been confused, and couldn't help but ask at this time.

"It's nothing, that night, Senior Sister Yichen and I passed by an ancient temple in Yushan, and suddenly heard a black bear howl, we followed the sound and killed the black bear spirit!" Yi Qing said indifferently.

"It's that simple?" Li Qi obviously didn't like it.

"It's as simple as that," Yiqing said.

Li Qi turned his head to look at Murong Yan and asked, "Sister Xiao Yan, let's talk about it!"

So, Murong Yan told everyone here in detail about the scene of that night in the Yushan Ancient Temple. Except for Murong Huan and Yiqing, none of them knew about the experience of that night, and at the moment, the rest of Li Qi and Li Yi listened to it with relish.

After Li Qi listened, he immediately asked, "Sister Yiqing, so you saved Brother Xu Ke that night?"

"Yes, and that 'sick wood'!" Yiqing pursed her lips and replied. She felt angry when she thought about the way she worked hard to carry the injured Xu Ke to Yushan Yulu that night.

Murong Yan hurriedly bowed and said: "Sister Yiqing, Xiao Yan wants to make amends to you on behalf of my disease-free brother! If it weren't for my sister's rescue that night, my disease-free brother might not survive the second day! My sister saved my disease-free brother, but he misunderstood my sister and broke one of my sister's flying swords......

"It's nothing, it's in the past, what do you want to mention it?" Yiqing waved his hand, pretending to be indifferent. But she was very angry in her heart and said, "Good you sick wood!" You even told her these troubled things!

In fact, Yiqing was wrong to blame Xu Ke for this matter, although Murong Yan knew that Xu Ke had fought with Yiqing, but it was not Xu Ke who told her.

"Ah...... Sister Yiqing, Brother Xu Ke has also fought with you, when did this happen?" Li Qi couldn't help but be curious, and asked again.

......

"Interesting and interesting! It turns out that the one who saved the roommate and the disease-free that night was the Yiqing girl!" Murong Huan, who had been muttering for a long time, finally spoke. He clenched his fists slightly towards Yiqing and said, "Thank you girl for saving me!"

"Don't dare to be!" Yiqing still said indifferently: "Murong Gongzi, I don't have such a good ability as Gongzi, I can only kill those weak spirits." If Yiqing had the cultivation of Gongzi, even if she had ten cat demons in the capital, Yiqing would have eliminated them a long time ago!"

"Hahaha!" Murong Huan suddenly smiled at Li Yilang: "Brother Li, for the sake of Miss Yiqing saving her sister and the disease-free virtuous brother, Murong agreed to your matter!"
