Chapter 13: The Camp

"This palace has heard that Bai Jun is the two heroes of the new Huashan Sword Debate, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its name!" Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Meet the eldest princess, meet the prince Jing!" Bai Ya saluted with a few people, and then raised his head and smiled, "The princess is praised!"
Celestia's voice is not as bewitching as her posture, it is low and magnetic, slightly neutral. Looking at this one up close, everyone felt more and more a graceful and luxurious temperament.
"Ha, Bai Jun is polite, this palace has seen your few martial arts competitions, but I am really angry for my Yizhou boy. Meng Jie laughed, and actually raised her fist in front of several people, making everyone's face a little weird.
"Ahem!" Just as the eldest princess was in high spirits, the thirteenth prince beside her coughed lightly in embarrassment, as if reminding her.
"Oh, you're smiling!"
Meng Jie's expression on her face froze, she put away her smile, and returned to her previous elegant and graceful appearance. It's just that the heroic smile of her children just now has been deeply left in everyone's minds.
The combination of the eldest princess and the prince did not stay long, and soon left, and then there were also people in the palace who sent them two letters.
The letter to Chen Ming was still a specific condition for cooperation, and because the Panlong faction had been in contact with King Jing earlier, the conditions offered were even more generous than before Meng Min.
As for the letter to Bai Ya, it was different, it was just politely hinted, expressing his willingness to give more favorable terms than Meng Min. This is also a matter of course, after all, Bai Ya and the others have contacted Meng Min first, and the specific conditions for winning over can only be tested first, and then they left a contact method for a hidden pile in the city.
"What does Brother Bai think of these two?" This time, Chen Ming asked about his perception first.
"That King Jing is just right, and he does have a bearing. But this eldest princess ...... I don't know what to say!" Bai Ya said with a strange face, "If this noble girl was performing just now, it would really be the most powerful drama that a certain person has ever seen." If she wasn't performing, she really didn't look like a royalty!"
"It shouldn't be a performance, a certain person said that she has a unique ambition, doesn't like red makeup, prefers martial arts, has an arrogant temperament, is generous and heroic, and is a strange woman. Chen Ming smiled, "I thought it was an exaggeration by the spies, but now it seems quite appropriate." ”
Bai Ya compared her with the previous Meng Min in her heart, but felt that Meng Min, who was a round younger, was old and serious, like an old fox. And this eldest princess is heroic, like the rising sun.
"Senior brother, this eldest princess is quite in line with the temper of martial artists like us, so it's better to support her. Ji Nan was silent for a long time just now, and then he suddenly spoke.
Bai Ya was surprised, and when he looked back, he saw that this kid's face was crimson, and his eyes flickered, as if his mind was restless and he couldn't help himself.
"This matter still has to be decided by the sect, how can you talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense to me when you go out, you know?" Bai Ya's face turned blank and scolded coldly.
He turned his head and glanced at Chen Ming, both of them laughed secretly in their hearts, this kid was actually teased by a woman who was two wheels older than him.
Thinking about it carefully, it can be seen how rich the personal charm of the eldest princess is, and she should be able to win a lot of young and vigorous Zongmen Junyan after visiting the garden.
Although these people can't make decisions for their respective sects, as long as they have a bias, they will definitely be able to influence the sects behind them.
"It's a pity......" Bai Ya sighed secretly.
He also likes the style of this eldest princess, but the conditions given by Meng Min are not given by Meng Jie. Because even if she succeeds to the throne, the heir can only choose from other royal bloodlines, and there is no way to guarantee that the future prince will be biased towards Taoist ideas.
"That King Jing is really useless, as Uncle Wang, he is actually willing to live under his niece......" Zeng Hui pouted, inexplicably resentful, and said that beautiful women were born to be opponents, which can be seen from this.
"It should be the eldest princess Meng Jie who gave the crown prince to King Jing......" Bai Ya suddenly had an idea, thinking of how these two compromised.
"Yes, think about it, after the appearance of the King of Shu this time, the probability of King Jing ascending the throne is only smaller than that of the third prince Meng Chong, and it is inevitable to make a compromise. Chen Ming opened his mouth and smiled.
The biggest significance of the appearance of the King of Shu is to define the scope and rules for the succession event, and in this case, the King of Shu's own children naturally occupy a greater advantage. King Jing is the younger brother of the side line, no matter how many military generals support him, the possibility of breaking the situation is getting smaller and smaller.
Since he must cooperate with one of the other four, then of course the eldest princess is the most suitable. Because no matter what conditions the other three princes give, it is impossible for them to give up the crown prince to his children.
"I just don't know if the third prince Meng Chong will take refuge in the second prince, or fight for himself!" Bai Ya said meaningfully.
"He doesn't have the connections accumulated by the second prince, the genius of the sixth prince, and the martial arts of the eldest princess and King Jing. If you don't want to be the first to die, you must have already taken refuge in the second prince!" Chen Ming shook his head indifferently, "Brother Bai still has to wait?"
Qingcheng will not stand in the same trench as Emei out of face, and it is very likely that the second prince will not come to recruit them in person.
"Wait, this garden has a unique scenery, and tonight is a full moon, so there are not many opportunities to watch the moon in the royal garden. Bai Ya smiled lightly.
They guessed correctly, and in the evening, another palace person found them, and the second prince Meng Qi did not come in person, but he also sent a handwritten letter. It's just that the conditions given by this one are much worse than the first three, after all, he has the best chance of succeeding to the throne, and the people who support him are the most.
The Yazhu Garden at night is full of fireflies, the bamboo forest is far away dotted with the candlelight of the pavilions, the ears are full of the rustle of bamboo leaves, the crisp sound of insects, the secluded environment makes several people have a clear mind, and after a night of meditation, the spirit is even more than yesterday.
"Although the vitality of this place is not as good as that in the mountains, it is also a blessed land with the influence of the imperial spirit. It's no wonder that those dragon protectors also have a lot of innate martial artists, it seems that the luck that the master said is not a lie. Chen Ming observed a lot and seemed to have some experience.
"It's dawn, let's go too, Brother Chen wants to come with us?" Bai Ya invited.
"Do you live in King Rong's Mansion?" Chen Ming frowned slightly.
"No, this is not the same as in the past, let's find a place to live for the time being, and wait for the master to make a final decision. ”
Bai Ya opened his mouth to dispel his concerns, and after leaving the palace, he summoned Bai Tong and Xiaopeng out of King Rong's Mansion with his mind.
......
"Do you have a place to live in Chengdu?" Chen Ming asked curiously.
"Haha, of course! I bought it with a few friends back then, but the place where I practiced martial arts was on the outskirts of Chengdu, so I didn't live for a few days. Thinking of the small mansion that a group of people bought with money, Bai Ya couldn't help but miss Lu Yuan and the others.
"The place has now been lent to two friends, and I haven't seen them yet on this trip, so I just want to know how they're doing. ”
"Warrior?" Chen Ming raised his eyebrows.
"It's a pair of grandchildren, the old man is not a martial artist, his little grandson is practicing martial arts in the Zhenwu Dojo, and he will just participate in the Qingcheng martial arts test next year, and he hasn't seen him for three years!" Bai Ya sighed.
He is talking about Meng Chong's grandson, when the matter of Pituozhou was over, these two grandchildren were not far away hundreds of thousands of miles, and came to Chengdu from Xi'e City.
Bai Ya left this vacant small mansion to them, anyway, several of their brothers had already entered the sect, and this place was empty.
"Bai Gongzi?!"
Not far from the house, they saw the old hunter squatting on the threshold smoking a bag of cigarettes.
"Uncle, I'm bothered!" Bai Ya smiled and arched his hand at him.
"Quick, come in!" Seeing them, the old man was obviously very happy, and hurriedly beckoned them into the courtyard, and busily prepared tea.
"Meng Chong's kid has gone to the dojo and will be back in the afternoon. ”
Because of the incident in Pituozhou, Bai Ya and Meng Lao Orion had nothing to be polite about, so after asking, they lived in a few side rooms. Although this place is not big, it was for six people after all, and the room was enough for them.
When Meng Chong came back, everyone was lively again.
The big black man has originally practiced the internal qi and the external release, although in the past few years it has made up for the original martial arts foundation, but now he has also entered the subtle realm of melting into the qi, which can be regarded as stepping into the artistic conception with one foot.
"It's a pity, it's a pity......" One night, when he heard that Meng Chong also practiced soft boxing, Chen Ming couldn't help but be interested, and he kept pulling him to learn for the next few days.
"Brother, what's the pity?" asked the big black man with a smile, confused.
"It's a pity that you were booked by Qingcheng, otherwise he would definitely pull you to the Panlong Sect in Langzhong. Bai Ya shook his wine glass and said with a grin.
"Haha, Brother Bai who knows me!" Chen Ming laughed.
"Huh?" Several people were laughing, and suddenly they each noticed something, looked up at the sky, and saw a huge eagle fluttering its wings and falling, it was a mountain harrier raised by Qingcheng.
"Has it been decided? Which one is it?" Chen Ming leaned over and looked at it, he got the news earlier, the Panlong faction agreed to let him act with Bai Ya, which is equivalent to Qingcheng as the leader, anyway, the Qingcheng faction will support whichever one they support in the battle for succession.
The Panlong faction is far away from Chengdu, but they are small in scale and make decisions faster. However, there are too many factions in Qingcheng, and it has been grinding for several days, and it was decided today.
"The sixth prince Meng Min, the task of a certain is still the same, or personal protection. However, this time it was not perfunctory, the sect only gave three thousand points of C-level merit for a certain person!" Bai Ya flicked the letter with a smile.
At the beginning, he handed over the six-pole Dao mystic weapon "Teng Snake Heavenly Book Rubbing" to his master, and only then did he get 2,500 C-level merits. And there are 3,000 points to protect Meng Min, which shows that Qingcheng has really begun to pay attention to this competition.
"Hey, it's finally started, I've been waiting a little impatiently. Chen Ming chuckled, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
