The spring afternoon sun was delicate and lazy, and it softly crept into the glass window of the Beidou Pavilion. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Ji Xingkong sat in the Taishi's chair, basking in the sun and shaking the folding fan, not knowing whether it was cold or hot. The cute little girl He Xiaotong sat on the small bench next to her, holding a big bag of sunflower seeds and snorting non-stop, compared to the sugar gourd, this thing can polish the time, although she prefers sweets, but with His Royal Highness the prince, how can there be the power of picky eaters, some eat is good, and no matter how it is also the food carefully fried by human beings, the fragrant and salty taste is not bad, but the little girl's sunflower seed skills have yet to grow, and she often swallows the belt seeds into her stomach.

In the crisp and rhythmic sound of sipping sunflower seeds, the old gentleman sitting opposite Ji Xingkong was whispering slowly: "...... In my opinion, what this Conversion Sect wants is only to flourish in a corner, and it will never plot our royal status. The means are indeed ingenious, grasping the desire of mortals to practice, and gathering a group of believers, but no matter how he is, he can only let a very small number of people practice, and the vast majority of mortals still have to live a mortal life, to have smooth wind and rain, abundance and peace, and to rely on the royal 'purple qi from the east'. Even those monks know that the people's livelihood is the foundation of the country, otherwise what to eat and wear, and what to practice?"

Ji Xingkong shook his fan and nodded repeatedly: "It makes sense, it makes sense." I'll just say, the eldest brother is just worrying about the sky, and the little Conversion Sect can't threaten my royal family. It's just that this method of increasing people's qualifications always sounds a little weird, has Mr. Gu ever checked it?"

"It's a strange thing. The qualifications were innate, and the nine-year-old Star Mansion was stable, if it could be changed at will, how could the 'Blood Spirit Devouring Heart' of the Li clan be ranked as one of the thirty-six thaumaturgy back then? In my opinion, it is likely that some methods of shifting and borrowing and transferring flowers and trees were used, and the recipient of the spell would definitely be controlled by others, and the cost would be very great. But such a technique is indeed unheard of. ”

"Oh, isn't that a loss of life?"

"Huh. Mr. Gu smiled, "What I want is for him to kill people." If they can really improve people's cultivation without harming them, I am afraid that it will not be far from the return of the monks of the world, then they will really become a serious problem for their henchmen. It is precisely because he harms people that he can only rein in some short-sighted people, and after a long time, he will lose the hearts of the people, and then it will be a situation where everyone shouts and beats him.

Ji Xingkong shook his head when he heard this, he was very satisfied, and laughed: "Isn't this just self-defeating! Tell me about it, this guy is an idiot in the Guizhen Sect, it's not good to do something, and he has to do this kind of death! Okay, now the prince will rest assured, we don't have to worry about anything, just let him fend for himself!"

These words were very awkward to hear in Mr. Gu's ears, and he didn't know if this prince was ironic or really empty-minded, so he smiled slightly embarrassedly: "Harming people must be to profit from it, this cult can still use its interests to attract some evil cultivators to grow, but it can't be said to be self-defeating, but after all, it has nothing to do with my royal family." This Shashui City was originally the jurisdiction of the Dongting Lin Clan, and they didn't care about it, so why should we intervene sideways? The eldest prince has always been soft-hearted, and he can't bear the people being deceived and hurt, but my royal family can't be a knife in the hands of others!"

Ji Xingkong put away the folding fan when he heard this, sat up straight, and blinked a little ignorantly: "Mr. Gu, what are you talking about?

"If the Lin family doesn't care, we naturally can't come out, so as not to make the Lin family's knife. ”

Ji Xingkong touched his chin and thought for a moment: "The Lin family doesn't care, why can't we manage it? The Lin clan's territory is not my Great Zhou territory? This Beidou Pavilion has opened to Shashui, doesn't Mr. Gu think that my royal family only needs to be an unscrupulous businessman with a lot of money in the hearts of the people everywhere?"

Gu Lewen didn't expect that Ji Xingkong's words would suddenly pop out of his mouth, although he still didn't have a stern tone, he had put away his usual playful attitude. Stunned, the old gentleman couldn't help but stammer. I only heard Ji Xingkong wrench his fingers and continued: "You see, it is obviously the fief of the Marquis of Huaiqing, but it is the Marquis of Dongting who is in charge, and in fact, no one is willing to pay attention to this place, which makes some people take advantage of the loopholes." Mr. Gu, you must know very well, because the father and emperor are afraid of the Lin family, they have undefeated blood, they are full of wise generals, and the father and emperor have divided the territory of the Huaiqing Marquis in the East Pavilion, and he is a little careful about the Lin family. However, in order to avoid suspicion, the Marquis of Huaiqing returned the right to govern to the Marquis of Dongting. If something happens here, the two marquis can ignore it, because the people know that now the ownership of this place is unknown, and the root of the problem lies in the royal family, so we know that they borrowed a knife, and we can't help but give it. In fact, the eldest brother just wants to clean up the mess for his father. ”

Gu Lewen was shocked and ashamed. Yesterday, he also saw that humiliating farce on the street, and he only felt that the third prince who had never met was really as hasty as rumored, and now it seems that he is simply pretending to be crazy and stupid. These words were insightful and coherent, and completely rejected his claims. Of course, he also knew in his heart that the real purpose of the princes wanting to meddle in the True Religion was nothing more than to seek political capital, but when the three princes talked about this, he could only say: "Your Highness is reasonable, but the old man is not thoughtful." ”

But His Royal Highness the prince did not respond, and when he looked up, he saw that he turned to He Xiaotong, and was shaking his fan and asked triumphantly: "Xiaotong, if the eldest brother tells you, how do you listen to me?"

He Xiaotong raised his head and said while knocking on the sunflower seeds: "Little boy...... Didn't hear, well, you recite ...... Again. ”

So the old gentleman sat there like a stone sculpture, stared at the words he had just said again, and suddenly there were 10,000 divine beasts rushing past in his heart, almost vomiting blood on the spot. Immediately, I heard Ji Xingkong's "huh", and asked again: "I said Mr. Gu, how can the business be so good in the He Ji grocery store opposite?"

Gu Lewen came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "He Ji has opened an old shop here for more than ten years, and the owner of the shop is very good, the supply of goods in this area is already small, and most of them are in his hands." Our branch has always been seriously undersupplied, and the business is naturally not as good as his. ”

"How can this be reasonable!" Ji Xingkong slapped his folding fan on the arm of the chair and stood up, "This is not to give face to the Beidou Pavilion, and if you don't give face to the Beidou Pavilion, you won't give face to the royal family!

Gu Lewen was stupid again. What does this have to do with face? Looking at this posture, this prince wants to use the name of the royal family to suppress his opponent, how can the royal family afford to lose this person? The old gentleman hurriedly got up to stop him and persuaded: "Your Highness, can you go, this is all a legitimate business competition, and we have no reason to go to other people's troubles." ”

"Trouble, what trouble are you looking for? As the owner of the Beidou Pavilion, this prince will still give him face after a while, why not?" Ji Xingkong waved his hand impatiently, and turned around and greeted: "Little boy, let's go!"

"Hmm......" He Xiaotong agreed vaguely, his little buttocks slowly left the bench, and he rubbed over with sunflower seeds, and his mouth kept ringing "click" and "click".

Gu Lewen couldn't stop it, so he had to send a young man to follow behind. Ji Xingkong walked out of the Beidou Pavilion step by step, and shook across the street to the opposite side. The simple signboard of the He Kee grocery store and the black wooden door are compared with the Beidou Pavilion, which can only be described by the word "cold". His Royal Highness raised his face and looked at it, shook his head and sighed, then lifted the curtain and entered the door, and saw the girl who could only be described with the word "black" behind the welcome counter. Black hair, black eyes, black eyebrows, black skin, black and shiny, but it looks even more red lips and white teeth. The facial features are certainly not ugly, but they are not pretty, and they reveal a strong sense of joy when matched, reminiscent of the lively sunshine on the beach in summer. The girl was holding a snow-white puppy in her arms, and she was dozing off with her eyes closed, but she opened her eyes when she heard the sound of the door curtain, and since then her eyes have been locked on Ji Xingkong.

The puppy looks at Ji Xingkong, and Ji Xingkong also looks at the puppy. For some reason, he felt that the little thing was hostile to him, and this hostility reminded him of the unpleasant experience of yesterday, and he wanted to turn around and walk away immediately. Of course, His Royal Highness would never succumb to the obscenity of a puppy, so he covered half of his face with a folding fan, cleared his throat, and said loudly to his home: "Ahem, I am below...... Situ Batian!"

As soon as the domineering name came out, Ji Xingkong felt that his whole person had suddenly risen a little, and a dignified momentum arose, and the black girl behind the counter had red lips, and opened a sunny smile to him, and he had a feeling of flying in the clouds. It's just that the little white dog suddenly jumped from the girl's arms to the counter, and at the same time gave him a crisp "Wang", which frightened him all over, and his momentum suddenly withered, and he was beaten back to his original form in an instant. Fortunately, the girl reached out in time and grabbed the little white dog's neck and carried it back. Then the girl clenched her fists and said loudly: "I have heard the name for a long time, like thunder......! Ouyang is beautiful!"

Ji Xingkong was as if he had been immobilized, and the fan that kept fanning also stopped, opened his mouth and stared, looking at the girl in front of him who was beautiful but had nothing to do with beauty, and asked in a sneering voice: "Uh, this, this shopkeeper is not a surname...... Ho?"

"Oh, my surname is He, but I'm not the shopkeeper!" the girl smiled, revealing two rows of white bright teeth, "You're pretty handsome, and your name is cool!"

"Oh, it's ridiculous! I don't dare to be ashamed!" Ji Xingkong was praised by the girl in person for the first time, and he was suddenly a little fluttery, "Your name is not bad, and you look good...... It's neat. ”

The so-called neatness naturally means that the facial features are complete and nothing is lacking. He thinks that any word to describe a girl's beauty is a bit unconscionable here, and if people speak so sincerely, he should naturally be sincere.

The girl was happy to accept his praise again. It's just that the little white dog didn't seem to be very happy, and roared and jumped up to the counter, and although it was held down by the girl, it was still there grinning at Ji Xingkong. The girl bowed her head and reprimanded: "Marshmallow, don't make trouble! People are guests, they are here to buy things, be good,...... Yes, don't buy anything and bite him again!"

“......”

Ji Xingkong was speechless for a while, thinking that the business was like this, and he could threaten the guests with a watchdog, well, he learned. It's good to buy something in this way, and it's hard to go out empty-handed. was thinking about it, but heard a muttering voice behind him: "There are marshmallows?...... Children want to eat marshmallows. ”

The whole shop fell into a sudden silence. The person who spoke closed his mouth, although the barking dog's mouth was open, but there was no sound, and his two eyes stared blankly at Ji Xingkong's back, where a little girl's head poked out, with a cute double bun, big eyes, and a pink face, but she shouted to eat marshmallows, and marshmallow was the dog's name. So after a moment of silence, the angry cry suddenly broke out, dozens of decibels higher than just now, the little white dog's four little paws slashed the counter, and wanted to rush down violently, the girl had to hold it down with both hands, and kept persuading: "Hey! She wants to eat marshmallows, not you, your name is marshmallows, but you are not marshmallows, do you understand?"

People shouted and barked, and there was a mess. Ji Xingkong shook his fan and laughed dryly, took the opportunity to pull He Xiaotong, turned around and ran out of the store: "Hehe, I'm sorry, come back another day, come back another day!"

The shopkeeper is not there, just a girl who looks at the shop, she is not good-looking, and she has a fierce puppy, if she doesn't leave, she will immediately pounce on her desperate posture, Ji Xingkong has already had a psychological shadow on the dog, and she doesn't want to stay for a second. When he went out, he slapped a fan on the head of the snack goods and reprimanded: "Listen clearly and speak later!"

He Xiaotong pouted and said aggrievedly: "Who made it call marshmallow......"

"It's called Marshmallow, you're going to eat it?"

He Xiaotong covered his head: "I want to eat sugar, so I don't eat dogs." ”

"It's better to eat candy than to eat a dog, you have to have the heart to eat a dog, and the dog still dares to bully me?" Just as he was fanning hard, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him, and he felt a little familiar. raised his head and rubbed his eyes, but saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man walking quickly towards the door of the Beidou Pavilion. Have you seen it? Where have you seen it? He touched his chin and pondered, then slapped his thigh with a folding fan, and raised his foot to chase after him.
