[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, March 25, Chenshi, Tsing Yi Weibei Anping Division, and thousands of official offices]

Xu Ke and Nangong Buyu had just said goodbye to Zhu Leyun, and not long after, the guards came to report that Princess Lingyu was here.

Sure enough, before the guards could finish speaking, Li Qi had already pushed open the door and barged in.

"Brother Xu Ke, you must go to Tianbao Pavilion with me today!" Li Qi got straight to the point, and before he could sit down, he explained his intention.

Nangong was silent, hurriedly stepped forward to bow to Li Qi, and introduced Li Qi to the upper seat.

Somehow, as soon as Nangong was silent and saw Li Qi, he immediately felt a panic for no reason, he lowered his head, and did not dare to make a slight contact with the princess's clear and beautiful eyes.

Li Qi was not like last time, and went straight to snatching Nangong's silent Taishi chair and sat down. This time he listened to Xu Ke's words, and just sat down under Xu Ke. She waved her hand, so that Nangong didn't have to be so formal, how to sit in the first place, how to sit at this time.

"This ......" Xu Ke hesitated for a moment and said:

"In this way, Sister Xiaoqi, the deputy envoy still has important matters to do today, and this important task of investigating the case together with Murong Gongzi will be entrusted to you with full authority!"

Li Qi pouted, obviously not very satisfied with Xu Ke's reply, and her face was full of unhappy expressions:

"Brother Xu Ke, what is your important matter? You can go to Tianbao Pavilion with me, Sister Xiaoyan is ...... But I miss you!"

"Ahem, cough!" Xu Ke couldn't help coughing several times, in front of Nangong silent, he really didn't want to talk about him and Murong Yan, he hurriedly said:

"Commissioner Xiaoqi, this deputy envoy has an important task to hand over to you today......

"What!" Li Qi said with some curiosity. However, as far as Xu Ke is concerned, she is still unwilling.

Xu Ke Zhengsedao:

"According to the investigation of Dali Temple, fifty miles south of Chang'an City, about the vicinity of Jinding Mountain, it was found that there were traces of cat demons. You can say that you can move Murong Gongzi to go there with you today......"

When Li Qi heard this, he was immediately interested:

"Okay, is the cat demon hiding in Jinding Mountain? Then I must go!"

"But ......," Xu Ke hurriedly said:

"If Murong Gongzi does not go with you, you must not go alone! If you disobey the order, this deputy envoy must be ...... Be the first to show your third brother!"

Originally, Xu Ke's sentence should have been, "This deputy envoy should be severely punished according to law!" However, how could Li Qi, a dignified princess, be "severely punished"? The only intimidation method that Xu Ke could think of was to go to Li Yi, the king of Zhao, to complain.

And what Li Qi is most afraid of is her third brother, if her third brother knows, she violates the order and goes out of the city without permission, she will be removed from the "Beijing Trial Group" immediately, and at worst, she will be known to her father, and from then on she can only be grounded in the deep palace. Yes, as soon as Xu Ke said this, Li Qi was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged his fists and said:

"Rest assured, Lord Vice-Envoy, I will definitely move the 'barrel bowl' today and go out of the city with me!"

"Also the 'wooden barrel bowl'......" Xu Ke said with a smile: "The family is a young master of the Tianbao Pavilion, his prestige shocks the five continents, and his martial arts are the best in the world!

"Got it, long-winded!" Li Qi glanced at Xu Ke, and she said in her heart, this "wooden barrel bowl" is your eldest brother, and you respect him so much, but I asked you to see Sister Xiaoyan, why are you unwilling?

"Okay, if there is nothing else to do, you can go first! Remember the words of this deputy envoy, if you don't have Murong Gongzi by your side, you can't go anywhere! Otherwise...... Even if you disobey the order!" Xu Ke straightened his face again and ordered in a deep voice.

"Got it......! Envoy...... Big...... Hearing this, Li Qi had to get up and go out with a puffed face.

She walked out of the door of the official room, feeling strange all the way, how could Xu Ke's tone be so similar to her third brother today? Could it be that their senior brothers have stayed for a long time, and their temperaments have become similar?

However, what made Li Qi feel even more strange was that she came to Tsing Yiwei's "upper duty" early this morning, and in Nangong's silent signing room, she didn't even drink a sip of hot tea, and she was reprimanded by this Xu Ke, but in her heart, she was not angry at all!

Li Qi, as the seventeenth daughter of the current emperor, is particularly loved by her father, Li Chongsheng. Inside and outside the court, all over the court, all regarded her as the bright moon in the sky, looking up high, and no one dared to say a word of disobedience. But today he was in the official room, this Xu Ke didn't regard her as a princess at all, the tone of his voice and the tone of admonition were completely like his own brother. How did Li Qi not feel surprised?

In Li Qi's memory, except for his third brother, the rest of the brothers talked to him, and they were all very polite, about they all knew that his father spoiled him the most, and he kept a sense of proportion between his words, where was Xu Ke today, almost no face left for her!

"But...... Why don't you think you're so weird?"

"Could it be that I also like Brother Xu Ke a little?"

Thinking of this, Li Qi's heart couldn't help but beat suddenly. But she immediately shook her head again, feeling that her feelings for Xu Ke were similar to those for her third brother, a kind of trust and respect like her own brother.

However, Xu Ke is Xu Ke, the third brother is the third brother, after all, Xu Ke is just an ordinary man who has no blood relationship with her, why does he have a kind of trust and respect for him like a brother? Jiuhe Library

......

......

Nangong was silent and saw Li Qi get up and leave, and hurriedly got up, personally escorted her out of the door of the office, bowed to her again, and watched Li Qi's back go away, until Li Qi's slender and slender figure disappeared far away from his field of vision, he came back to his senses, turned around and slowly returned to his Taishi chair to sit down.

Nangong couldn't help but sigh in his silent heart, how could such a fairy-like princess come to be in this heaven and earth?!

Ever since he had seen the princess at first sight ten days earlier, he had not been able to sleep at night when he returned home. He tossed and turned, and his mind was full of Li Qi's smiling figure......

Her gestures, smiles, her free and easy back, heroic steps, pleasant voice, and hearty laughter all made him unforgettable for a long time......

Just met Li Qi, and he will never forget it for the rest of his life!

Today, he saw Li Qi again in his family's thousand-household office, how could he not be flustered?

It's just that when he saw Li Qi coming and leaving in a hurry, he couldn't help but feel stunned, so much so that he had returned to his place and sat down at this moment, and his heart was immersed in Fang Cai's melancholy.

"Brother Nangong, what's wrong? Are you still worried about the cat demon?" asked Xu Ke.

Nangong was silent, and then he settled down and said:

"Brother Xian, why did you tell the princess that the trace of the cat demon is near Jinding Mountain in the south of Chang'an City? Could it be that the people of Dali Temple really found it?"

Xu Ke waved his hand and said with a smile: "Those fools in Dali Temple, where will they find the traces of the cat demon? My senior brother sent them to investigate the surroundings of Chang'an City, and these people have been investigating for more than half a month, but they have not even been able to find a single hair of the cat demon! What I just said to the princess is all nonsense from me!"

Nangong was silent and puzzled: "Why did Brother Xian deceive the princess?"

Xu Ke said: "Brother Nangong doesn't know, this sister Li Qi, although she is a seventeenth princess, is the most naughty and active, if you don't tell her a lie and cheat her away, believe it or not...... She can stay in my Tsing Yi Wei and not leave all day!"

Nangong was silent but said in her heart, wouldn't it be good if she really stayed here and didn't leave? If she wants to stay for a day, I will accompany her for a day, if she wants to stay for a month, I will accompany her for a month, if she wants to stay for a year, I will accompany her for a year, if I can accompany her for the rest of my life, I will have nothing to ask for......

Nangong was silent and worried: "Having said that, Brother Kexian let the princess leave alone like this, in case she can't help but be curious and go to Jinding Mountain alone, how can this be good?"

He was thinking in his heart, why don't I take a team of people and go to Jinding Mountain in person, if the princess doesn't like it, I will escort her from afar, guard her, I just need to look at her from afar, and I feel enough!

Unexpectedly, Xu Ke waved his hand again and again and said: "Brother Nangong, don't worry, the princess is accompanied by Murong Gongzi, why should I worry?"

"Young Master Murong ......?" Nangong said silently, worried: "Young Master Murong is busy with trivial affairs, and he may not be able to accompany the princess out of the city." ”

"You don't know this...... Xu Ke said with a smile:

"No matter how trivial Murong Gongzi is, no matter how high he is, as long as our sister Li Qi comes out, he will never be disobedient!"

Nangong asked silently, "Young Master Murong...... Why would you listen to the princess?"

"Hahaha!" Xu Ke laughed:

"Brother Nangong, don't you think that the Seventeenth Princess and Murong Gongzi, the two of them can be described as a match made in heaven?"

"Really?" Nangong was silent and felt a bitterness in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, it turned out that the princess liked the young master Murong, they were talented and beautiful, and they were really a match made in heaven!

Xu Ke didn't pay attention to Nangong Bu Si, and at this time, he constantly felt sorry for himself in his heart. The reason why he concluded that Li Qi and Murong Huan would be able to love each other in the future was mostly based on his experience in the Divine King Pavilion.

In the Divine King Pavilion, Xu Ke traveled through time and space from the Cloud Shadow Building and came to the world of the 12-line life wheel of Jiazi. He clearly remembered that in that demonized world, "Murong Huan" and "Li Qi" had become husband and wife, and the two lived together in Yanzhou City for nearly ten years, and also gave birth to a son named "Murong Bai".

Now, Xu Ke has returned to his own eight-line life wheel, and just last night, Hu Yiyi had proposed to him to marry her apprentice Yao Zibei to him as a concubine. This scene, at that time, in that wheel of life, had also really happened. Comparing the two, Xu Ke decided that the wheel of life in which he lived, all things, were still moving in the original direction.

Xu Ke speculated based on this, and thought that Murong Huan in this world would definitely live with Li Qi in the near future......

Therefore, Xu Ke did not hesitate to tell Li Qi a lie today, and also assigned her to Murong Huan's side. First, he took the opportunity to take Li Qi away, saving her from dragging him to see Murong Yan all day long, and second, he also wanted to match Li Qi and Murong Huan.

However, Xu Ke still has a selfish heart in his heart. He thought to himself, aren't you Murong Huan invincible in the world by relying on your martial arts, and no one in the heavens and the earth can look down on you? Today, I will throw Li Qi, a "hot potato", to you, and see if you, the second son of the dignified Tianbao Pavilion, can you subdue our seventeenth princess who is not afraid of heaven and earth?

When Xu Ke thought of this, he suddenly felt interesting, and he couldn't help but show a knowing smile on his face......

At this time, a herald guard walked into the front of the hall, bowed down to the two thousand households, and said: "Lord Nangong, Lord Xu, by the order of Shen Du, at four o'clock, please go to the council hall to discuss matters!"

The guard in charge of the herald raised his head, but he couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw the two thousand households sitting high in the hall, one with a sad face and the other with a knowing smile......
