After summoning Bai Qi, the system did not give Yan Long the main task of the third stage, but Yan Long knew very well what he was going to do next. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The official residence Jinyi Wei commanded the envoy, making him one of the important ministers of the court, especially the title of the crown prince Shaobao, although he did not have real power, but it was a very heavy honor.

However, this is only the beginning, a starting point.

There is still a long way to go before he wants to dominate the world.

On this day, he was in the prince's east palace, teaching Zhu Cijiong Baguazhang, and suddenly a eunuch in the palace came to report, and the national teacher Xiao Daoling asked to see the prince.

Although the crown prince Zhu Cijiong was only three years old, he already had the demeanor of an emperor, and after hearing the report of the people in the palace, he stopped practicing the Baguazhang and asked Xuan Xiao Daoling to come in.

"Xiao Daoling actually came back from the Purple Mountain in Nanjing?" Yan Long was still full of curiosity about this first strange person of the Ming Dynasty.

After a while, Xiao Daoling, who was wearing a Taoist robe, slowly walked in from outside the hall.

I saw that his hair, beard, and eyebrows were all pure white, and the white long beard hung down to his chest, elegant as a fairy, and he simply pulled a Taoist bun with a wooden hairpin on his head, and the Taoist robe was also an ordinary cotton cloth, and there was no luxury in the clothing, but his face was full of red light, a pair of eyes were clear, and his gestures were chic and free, and the wind god was lifted, which was really a fairy wind bone.

And the true qi on his body was already chaotic like the several great masters Yan Long had seen, and there was no way to detect it.

Xiao Daoling is the only remaining Xuan Li in the Ming Dynasty, according to outside legends, its Xuan Li has been able to pass through the gods, and its body has been refined to the point that King Kong is not bad, and the evil spirit does not dare to invade it.

Xiao Daoling entered the hall and waved at the prince: "Xiao Daoling see His Royal Highness the prince." ”

Zhu Cijiong's voice was still childish, but his demeanor when dealing with people was very steady, and he returned the salute to Xiao Daoling and said, "Mr. Xiao, please be even, don't be polite." Mr. Xiao has been cultivating more than one year in the Purple Mountain, and the prince is very concerned, and now he sees that Mr. Xiao's spirit is more vigorous, and it is obvious that his cultivation has been promoted to another level, which is gratifying. ”

These words were extremely mellow and old-fashioned, like the polite words of those officials in the court and the central government when they were cold to each other.

Yan Long sighed lightly in his heart: "This may be what those old antiques in the court often say about Yonghe and pure and gentle sex." A three-year-old child is going to talk like this, alas, purely to stifle nature. ”

Xiao Daoling frowned when he heard the prince's words, and he said to Zhu Cijiong with a smile: "Cijiong, don't you have anything else to say to the teacher?"

As soon as he changed his words, the style of painting immediately changed, and he saw Xiao Daoling's face showing an old naughty child-like expression, and his eyes were also full of smart brilliance, just like a child seeing a friend who had been reunited for a long time, which surprised Yan Long.

However, Zhu Cijiong looked extremely happy, he jumped up happily, ran towards Xiao Daoling, put his arms around Xiao Daoling's neck, pulled his beard and said, "Haha, old man, I just saw you talking to me like that, and I thought you wouldn't play with me anymore!"

Yan Long saw Zhu Cijiong's appearance, and secretly said in his heart: "Oh, it turns out that you are old and young, although you are almost a hundred years apart, you are actually playmates!" He thought it was funny, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a smile.

Zhu Cijiong's eyes caught a glimpse of Yan Long, he was obviously a little worried that Yan Long would tell his father, so he said to Yan Long with a slight timidity: "Yan Shaobao, this prince and Mr. Xiao are not always like this, sometimes Mr. Xiao will also teach me a collection of ancient precepts and poems, the ...... of Chinese culture and righteousness."

Yan Long smiled and said, "Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mr. Xiao also study the ancient teachings of the sages just now?" ”

Seeing that Yan Long also agreed, Zhu Cijiong smiled. Yan Long has heard a lot of this kind of laughter, and it is usually the heartfelt laughter of Zhu Cijiong when he practices Baguazhang with him.

Xiao Daoling took out a clay figure from his arms and handed it to Zhu Cijiong and said, "Cijiong, what do you see Old Man Xiao brought you?"

"Psychic clay figurines!!" Zhu Cijiong almost jumped up.

"Let's go play. Xiao Daoling put the clay figurine on the ground.

Zhu Cijiong grinned and walked out of the hall step by step, and the clay figure followed out step by step like his shadow. When they encounter a threshold, they will jump up and jump over obstacles.

Gong E, the eunuch in the palace, and a group of guards hurriedly followed out.

In an instant, only Xiao Daoling and Yan Long were left in the hall.

Xiao Daoling looked at the back of the prince, as if talking to himself: "He is really a very cute and sensible child." ”

Yan Long smiled: "It's a pity that not many people will treat him as a child. ”

Xiao Daoling stroked his long beard in his hand and said with a loud smile: "Doesn't Yan Shaobao just treat him as a child?" This sentence is ambiguous, both praise and disapproval, at best, it is to attach importance to Zhu Cijiong's nature, and at worst, it is to play Zhu Cijiong as a puppet.

Yan Long smiled and said nothing, his intuition told him that Xiao Daoling did not come to see the prince this time, but to find him.

Xiao Daoling saw that Yan Long didn't answer, and thought: "This son is so deep in the city and careful in his thoughts, it is really rare. ”

Xiao Daoling said to Yan Long: "Yan Shaobao, do you know why I want to return to the capital this time?"

"By the emperor's holy decree?" Yan Long said the biggest possibility.

Xiao Daoling smiled indifferently: "The emperor's decree is not binding on me. ”

There are not many masters who are so capable that they can disobey orders, and if Yan Long can leave everything behind, of course he can be counted as one. Xiao Daoling is the first person in the court and can also regard the holy decree as nothing.

The Apocalypse can issue an edict to him, but as for whether to obey his orders or not, it depends on his own choice, because with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to sanction him.

Yan Long shook his head with a smile and said, "Then I don't know." ”

Xiao Daoling stared at Yan Long with deep eyes: "Yan Shaobao, you are also one of the Xuanli Beings, haven't you noticed the recent abnormality in the capital?"

"It seems that the capital has never been calm!" Yan Long said calmly.

Xiao Daoling said: "Leaving the palace, the Xuanli Person, the red mist that appears all over the capital, as well as the abnormal celestial phenomena, have you never thought that there is any connection between them?!"

Yan Long replied honestly: "Never." ”

Xiao Daoling was obviously a little surprised, and he asked, "Why?"

Yan Long said lightly: "Because I'm not afraid at all." ”

Xiao Daoling sighed: "Yan Shaobao has been in the limelight recently, I heard that he killed a Xuanli person in the palace and saved the emperor and the crown prince, which is an extremely outstanding feat in the two hundred years of my Ming Dynasty. It's just that in the eyes of Lao Dao, Yan Shaobao seems to be a little overjoyed!"
