I don't know if it was because Jiang Yushi agreed to get married, Gong Jiuxiao did not continue to pursue Gong Congyun's death, and Qiu Tianjue did not say a word about Qiu Tianlong, who failed in the struggle.

Between the great families, the apparent calm was restored again.

In the elegant private room of the first restaurant in the imperial capital, "Dengxian Building", two figures sit opposite each other, and teapots and wine kettles are placed on the table in front of them.

The drinker has long hair like a waterfall, eyes like stars, a long white dress hanging to the ground, and a slender jade hand holding a wine glass, constantly taking small sips.

It was actually the famous general of Fulong who had just been personally greeted by Emperor Murong Xiu, and Jiang Yushi, the second daughter of the Jiang family.

On the other hand, the person sitting opposite her was a young man with a slightly pale face and more delicate features than a woman.

The man was about thirty years old, dressed in a brown robe, and had a shallow smile on his fairy-like handsome face, which made people feel close at the sight of it.

Different from the sharpness and vitality of Jiang Yu's poems, the man exudes a weak and melancholy aura from top to bottom, like a delicate porcelain figure, which is about to shatter at the touch of a button.

Next to the man, stood a girl in black dressed in a strong suit.

The girl has a delicate figure, charming curves, a black silk scarf on her face, and only a pair of beautiful eyes that shine brightly, and her style of dress like an assassin is incompatible with the elegant environment of the restaurant.

"The dignified Ji family is big and young, and there are many opportunities for the day, how can you have the leisure to drink tea with me, a little woman?" Jiang Yushi gracefully turned the wine glass in her hand, and there was a hint of banter in her crisp voice.

It turned out that this brown-clothed young man was the eldest son of the Ji family, "Dengxian Tower" and "Ji Taifu", and even Ji Xiaoran, the actual ruler of the "Tianxia Society".

"If even you are a 'little girl'. Ji Xiaoran smiled faintly, "I'm afraid there is no 'strong woman' in this world." ”

"In a few days, I will be married and a wife, and I will stay at home with a husband and children. Jiang Yushi handed the wine glass to her lips and took a sip gently, "You are still single and unmarried, do you want to participate in the competition as well?"

"It's Your Majesty who forced you to marry, why should Yushi use me to be angry?" Ji Xiaoran stroked the folding fan in his hand and said with a wry smile, "With my weak body, I can't even catch one of your fingers, what are you doing participating in the competition?"

"I heard that His Majesty has summoned you to the palace?" Jiang Yushi asked abruptly.

"You're still as well informed. A hint of approval flashed in Ji Xiaoran's eyes, "Then you should also know that there are also palace families, enemy families, and Xiao families who are also summoned by him." ”

"For the sake of my marriage, Your Majesty has really taken great pains. Jiang Yushi said with a little sarcasm, "It seems that my future husband's status is not low. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the so-called martial arts competition should be a wheel war. Ji Xiaoran said slowly, "In addition to these children, Your Majesty also has his own candidates, even if you are strong, you can't remain undefeated by fighting so many geniuses of the same realm in a row, and it is impossible to push off the marriage by relying on martial arts." ”

"Really?" Jiang Yushi's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of disdain in her voice.

"Maybe you didn't take the geniuses of these families seriously. Ji Xiaoran said with a straight face, "But you must not underestimate Your Majesty's candidate, this person's strength is likely to be above you." ”

"It seems that His Majesty has given me a certain choice. Jiang Yushi sneered, "If I fall in love with the children of several major families, I only need to deliberately lose, but once I veto these people, he will use a killer weapon and forcibly arrange a powerful husband for me." ”

"Yu Shi is really smart. Ji Xiaoran praised.

"It's okay with the others. Jiang Yushi pondered for a moment and said, "This Xiao family will also be selected? Could it be that Your Majesty really wants to completely suppress our Jiang family and support the enemy country to rebel and replace it in the future?"

"It shouldn't be, the Jiang family has made great contributions, if they are knocked into the clouds for no reason, who will dare to work for the emperor in the future, and with the power of the Jiang family, how can it be easily overthrown?" Ji Xiaoran shook his head, "Now that the enemy family is in decline, Your Majesty supports the Xiao family, it is very likely that he wants to replace this fourth family." ”

"That makes sense. Jiang Yushi's brows loosened slightly, her eyes looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and she said regretfully, "With your ability and knowledge, if it weren't for your physical limitations, you would definitely be Wang Zuozhi's talent." ”

"Yu Shi praised it falsely. Ji Xiaoran smiled faintly and said, "A companion is like a tiger, and that kind of errand is not suitable for me." ”

"By the way, who is the candidate of your Ji family?" Jiang Yushi suddenly asked with a smile, "Could it really be you?"

"According to His Majesty's intentions, I hope that the second child will participate. Ji Xiaoran said calmly, "But I resigned." ”

"You're bold. Jiang Yushi stared at him in amazement, "Our Imperial Majesty is not so easy to prevaricate. ”

"I've arranged for the gods to travel to the Land of Chaos in advance. Ji Xiaoran said with a smile, "In just seven days, I didn't have time to rush back, with Your Majesty's wisdom, I think you can understand my distress." ”

"You already knew that Your Majesty would make a move on the Jiang family?" Jiang Yushi's eyes froze.

"Just in case. Ji Xiaoran's expression remained unchanged, "The Jiang family is too popular, if Your Majesty really has the intention of suppressing it, he will definitely fake his hands on several major families, I just don't want to be used as a gunman." ”

"It is said that among the generations of several major families, my brother and I are the most outstanding. Jiang Yushi stared at him for a long time, and then slowly spoke, "I don't know that the most difficult character to deal with is you, Ji Xiaoran." ”

"I'm just a sick man, how can I be as good as you say. Ji Xiaoran said with a smile.

"Actually, if you really have to choose among these people. Jiang Yushi's words changed, "I'd rather be Ji Lieshen, after all, I'm quite familiar with you two brothers." ”

"I don't want to. Ji Xiaoran said word by word.

The black-clothed girl standing beside him tilted her head slightly, her eyes flashing with an indescribable light.

"What's the trouble?" Jiang Yushi sighed slightly, and said softly, "You should know that I don't have a relationship between men and women for you. ”

"Of course I do. Ji Xiaoran opened the folding fan in his hand and waved it gently, "So I don't plan to marry you, I just don't want you to be my brother and sister, that's all." ”

"You......" Jiang Yushi drank all the wine in the cup, and then stood up, "Now that I know the rules of the competition, I should go back and make some preparations." ”

"Good luck. Ji Xiaoran had a smile on his face.

"By the way, when you and I meet today, your Majesty will definitely know about it. Jiang Yushi suddenly remembered something, "Will it cause you trouble?"

"Perhaps His Majesty wants to inform you of his intentions through my mouth. Ji Xiaoran shook his head slightly, "You said that I am the most difficult to deal with in this generation, and if Your Majesty wants to make a move on me, you have to weigh whether it is worth it." ”

"Thank you!" Jiang Yushi seemed to agree with his statement, and turned around, like a beautiful white butterfly, gradually moving away.

"Xinyue, the origin of the white-clothed boy and the poisonous girl, how is the investigation?" Seeing Jiang Yushi leave, Ji Xiaoran suddenly asked.

"The subordinates are about to report it. The girl in black, Xinyue, bowed and said, "Those two are both from a sect called 'Floating Flower Palace' in the Great Qian Empire, and they came here this time to escort the convoy of the 'Tianmao Chamber of Commerce'. ”

"'Tianmao Chamber of Commerce'?" Ji Xiaoran was stunned, "Is that the big cadre chamber of commerce that traded with us?"

"Exactly. Xinyue replied in a low voice, "The poisonous girl and Qiu Tianlong are currently staying in Jiang Wufeng's courtyard, and the whereabouts of the white-clothed young man are unknown for the time being. ”

"I've heard of the name of 'Floating Flower Palace'. Ji Xiaoran snapped and closed the folding fan in his hand, "I heard that it is now the first sect of Daqian, no wonder that little girl is young and can poison the palace family's Tianlun guards, and there is no vanity under the fame." ”

"Master, do you want to ...... the cooperation between you and the 'Tianmao Chamber of Commerce'?" asked the new moon.

"No, just do it. Ji Xiaoran shook his head and said, "We are businessmen, and all our rules of conduct must be based on interests." ”

"The subordinates understand. ”

"I hope you get through this catastrophe. Ji Xiaoran stared out the window, her delicate face with a hint of depth.

......

"Zhong Wen!"

Seeing Zhong Wen's white figure from afar, Zhu Ma excitedly tiptoed the ground, turned into a colorful flash of light, and threw himself into his arms.

This girl has become stronger again!

Feeling the terrifying impact in his arms, Zhong Wen was secretly frightened.

According to his inference, Zhu Ma's spiritual power cultivation at this time had reached about the third or fourth layer of the Heavenly Wheel, and the speed of advancement was terrifying.

The Heavenly Demon Body seems to be dangerous, but once the right exercises are found, the cultivation is like riding a rocket, and it is rising rapidly, and in just a few dozen days, the little girl has faintly caught up with many senior sisters in the Floating Flower Palace, and she has a great posture of coming from behind.

"If it goes on like this, Zhuma's cultivation will soon surpass me!" Ye Qinglian covered her lips with her hands and said with a smile

"What's the matter, I'm still far from Elder Ye!" Zhu Ma shyly peeked at Ye Qinglian on the side.

She instinctively felt that Ye Qinglian in front of her seemed to be a little different from when she parted.

All the way to the west, Ye Qinglian's attitude towards Zhuma was always gentle and amiable, but the little girl could still feel a looming aura from the body of this Floating Flower Palace elder, making her dare not get too close.

At this time, Ye Qinglian was still beautiful, but the atmosphere around her body became softer, which made her unconsciously feel a sense of intimacy.

Xiao Zheng Taijiang Wufeng slanted Zhong Wen, who was close to Zhuma, and his small mouth was pouted, and he was very unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to step forward to provoke.

He knew that because of himself, he had brought great pressure to the family, so he tried his best to keep a low profile during this time, and did not dare to do anything eye-catching, for fear of accidentally "reminding" his parents and brothers at home and teaching his relatives to "remember" his existence.

"Xiao Feng, you come out for me!" suddenly came a pleasant sound outside the door.

Jiang Wufeng's face turned pale, and when he was about to dodge into the house, his calves trembled with fright, and he couldn't move a bit.

A gust of fragrant wind wafted by, and then, a white shadow jumped in from the door, with an elegant posture and a fairy-like posture, as pleasing to the eye as a fairy in the sky.

"Second, second sister!" Jiang Wufeng stared at the second sister Jiang Yushi with a gloomy face, barely squeezed out a smile, and stammered, "Okay, long time no see!"

"You still know my second sister!" Jiang Yushi gave birth to a right hand like jade, and unceremoniously grabbed Xiao Zhengtai's ear, "Look at the good things you did, sister, I was miserable by you!"

"It hurts, it hurts!" Facing Jiang Yushi, Xiao Zhengtai took off her mature disguise for the first time, revealing a childlike appearance, and howled loudly, "Second sister, it hurts!"

"Now you know that it hurts?" Jiang Yushi's hand was so strong that Xiao Zhengtai cried wolf and screamed, "If you make such a fool of yourself, I will be forced to marry, how can this be true!"

"What!" Jiang Wufeng was taken aback, "Second sister, who dares to force you to marry?"

"Besides the emperor, who else can point fingers at me?" Jiang Yushi finally let go of his hand and said, "I was really miserable by you!"

"Second sister, you have only made a great contribution, how can Your Majesty treat you like this?" Jiang Wufeng's face showed a look of indignation, "I'll go and tell my father that I must let him take back his life!"

After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and left, but was grabbed by Jiang Yushi's back collar.

"Stop!" Jiang Yushi glared at him fiercely, "You give me obediently here, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

"Oh. Jiang Wufeng drooped his head, hung his head in despair, and secretly glanced at Zhuma in the distance.

"Is that her?" Jiang Yushi followed his line of sight, and soon noticed the delicate-looking, lively and moving little girl, "The girl who poisoned Gong Congyun." ”

Raising her eyes to look at Zhu Ma's side, Jiang Yushi suddenly had a delicate body, and her eyes showed an unbelievable expression.

What caught my eye was a slender white figure, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a delicate face and a lazy smile on his face.

"Little thief, it's you!" Jiang Yushi's voice trembled a little.

"Yo, silly girl!" The young man in white turned his head, his smile was extraordinarily bright, his eyes were a little happy, a little banter, "I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed!"
