"puff!"
Li Garden, West Wing, Li Ziye was drinking tea with Little Red Riding Hood and chatting about his ideals. When he heard what Li Youwei asked the maid in the mansion to bring, he spit out a mouthful of tea.
"Yan Xiaoyu is coming to the capital?" Bai Wangyu asked in surprise.
"He brought a medicine king?" Li Ziye said excitedly.
Bai Wangyu glanced at the boy next to him in confusion. Brother Li's perspective on caring about the problem was really...unique.
If the Son of God of the Heavenly Mandate Palace comes to the capital, isn't it more important than a Medicine King?
In front of the two of them, the beautiful little maid nodded and said, "I just got the news that Yan Xiaoyu, the son of God, is on his way to the capital. He should be able to arrive in ten days."
"Old Bai." Li Ziye looked at Little Red Riding Hood beside him and said.
"Huh?" Bai Wangyu asked doubtfully.
"If I ask you to help me sneak up on Yan Xiaoyu and steal the Medicine King, will you do it?" Li Ziye said eagerly.
"..."
Bai Wangyu pretended not to hear, because he really didn't want to answer such an idiotic question.
"If you don't show loyalty, I'll go find Lao Zhang."
Li Ziye said contemptuously, immediately got up and ran towards the inner courtyard.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Sloppy's deafening curses could be heard from the inner courtyard.
"Get out! Why don't you let me dig up the ancestral grave of the Lord of the Temple!"
"Just asking, why are you so excited?"
Li Ziye roared out of courage, then rolled out of the inner courtyard in despair and returned to the west wing.
"Old Bai."
Li Ziye's smile became very friendly and said, "Didn't Faru tell you to listen to me?"
"Brother Li."
Bai Wangyu looked helpless and said, "Yan Xiaoyu must have brought a large number of temple masters with him when he came to the capital. Not to mention me, it would be useless even if Master Farru comes in person. Of course, if you can invite If the Confucian leader takes action, there may be hope."
"forget it."
Li Ziye said angrily that he couldn't even see the Confucian leader, let alone ask the Confucian leader to take action.
Why is his life so miserable?
He had nothing but money.
"Brother Li really wants that Medicine King?" Bai Wangyu thought for a while and asked.
"I want it very, very much." Li Ziye nodded vigorously.
"If I'm not wrong, that Medicine King plant is dedicated to the imperial court. According to past practice, His Majesty will reward these tributes to meritorious ministers and favored empresses in the palace. If Brother Li wants it, you can Think of a way from this aspect." Bai Wangyu reminded.
"That makes sense."
Hearing this, Li Ziye touched his chin. The King of Medicine was with Yan Xiaoyu and he couldn't get it. However, if it was presented to the court, he wouldn't be completely helpless.
It seems that he needs to betray his luster.
Half a day later, the eldest grandson's family.
The eldest grandson Fengyu looked at the aunt in front of him, and then at the letter on the table, with a strange look on his face, and said, "Aunt, the legitimate son of the Li family invites you to go to the lake outside the city in three days, do you mean What to order?”
"Changsun Fengyu, I see your skin is itchy again."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao said with a dangerous light flashing in his beautiful eyes.
"Auntie, please spare my life, I don't dare anymore."
The eldest grandson Fengyu gave up decisively and immediately reminded, "But aunt, please be careful. Judging from my dealings with the Li family's legitimate son, that kid is a very thief and difficult to deal with. If he takes the initiative to find you, I'm sure It’s intentional.”
"I understand, you don't need to remind me!"
The eldest grandson Nanqiao responded, and then seemed to remember something, and asked, "By the way, how did you do with the task assigned to you? Please advise your cousin, the fourth prince, not to be so stubborn. My eldest grandson, Qian Qian, After working so hard for him to fight for power, it would be better for him to just ignore everything and leave the throne alone without fighting for it, insisting on practicing his broken sword."
"Auntie, please don't rush me. I've done my best."
The eldest grandson Fengyu smiled bitterly and said, "It's not like you don't know Cousin Mubai's character. If he could be persuaded so easily, we wouldn't have to work so hard these years."
"I was born into the royal family, and as a prince, I don't do what a prince should do. I really don't know how my sister gave birth to such an unsatisfactory son." The eldest grandson Nanqiao said angrily.
"aunt."
The eldest grandson Fengyu's expression suddenly became a little weird and said, "Then the Li family's legitimate son said he only wanted to be a swordsman. It just so happens that cousin Mubai also has the same ambition. Why not arrange for them to meet, maybe they have the same chemistry. Cherishing each other can help us bring the Li family over."
"It would be nice if they don't fight, and they still cherish each other."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao said angrily, "That kid Mu Bai finally met an opponent, how could he just give up? The Li family's legitimate son had to be taught by the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal himself, so he must be very skilled in swordsmanship. No matter who was injured by these two people, it would be a disaster." Big trouble, please stop making bad ideas here and go cool down."
"Haha, I just mentioned it casually. What my aunt said makes sense. Forget it, let's not take the risk." Changsun Fengyu smiled and responded.
The eldest grandson Nanqiao ignored the fool in front of him and looked at the letter on the table, a strange color flashed in his beautiful eyes.
The boy's sudden invitation was beyond her expectation.
Could it be that he changed his mind?
Imperial Palace, Ninth Princess Mansion.
The two brothers Murong and Mu Bai were playing chess.
The woman is as delicate as a flower, and the man is as sharp as a sword.
Even though they were born into the royal family and their status was respected, they could not hide their outstanding talents.
"Brother, you lost again."
Murong Luozi said with a bright smile on his face that he would win or lose in one round.
"I'm not as good as you at chess." Mu Bai put down the chess piece and said calmly.
"Brother, it's not that my chess skills are inferior to mine, but that my heart is not calm enough."
Murong Yanran smiled and said, "These days, if I hadn't pulled you to play chess every day, I'm afraid you would have gone to compete with the Li family's legitimate son."
"He has been taught by the Plum Blossom Sword Fairy, so his sword skills must be extraordinary. Why not compete with him?" Mu Bai said calmly.
"But I heard that the cultivation level of this legitimate son of the Li family is not very good. It seems that he just opened the first sacred treasure not long ago." Murong said.
"Cultivation is not important."
Mu Bai said lightly, "If he has been practicing for a short time, it would not be surprising if his cultivation level is not enough. He and I are just competing with each other, not competing for cultivation level."
"Brother."
Murong said helplessly, "I understand your feelings, and I understand them, but just because I understand them doesn't mean that others also understand them. Swords have no eyes. If you accidentally hurt the legitimate son of the Li family, it will definitely be true and people in the world will misunderstand you." Our royal family is deliberately bullying the people of the Li family. Now is the sensitive moment when the Li family has just entered the capital, so my brother should bear with it a little longer."
Hearing this, Mu Bai frowned slightly, nodded for a long time, and said, "I heard that Yan Xiaoyu is coming to the capital as well."
Murong put away the chess pieces for a moment and looked up at his brother in front of him. His beautiful eyes were full of warning and said, "Brother, please don't be impulsive. Yan Xiaoyu's trip is to visit the imperial court and the Supreme Court on behalf of the Tianyu Palace." From the Academy, if you hurt him, I, the Great Shang, will not be able to explain it to Tianyudi Palace."
"Don't worry, I'm not so ignorant."
Mu Bai said calmly, "This capital is getting more and more boring. Everyone is bound by the so-called rules and cannot be their true selves."
"Brother, don't let your aunt hear this, otherwise she will say that you don't want to make progress." Murong said with a smile.
"That's a crazy woman."
When it comes to his eldest grandson Nanqiao, Mu Bai has a headache, but there is nothing he can do about this aunt.
He was only a few years older than him, but his seniority was higher than his, and he was unreasonable when he got angry. As a prince, he could only be scolded in front of that crazy woman, eldest grandson Nanqiao.
At the same time, within the capital, the news that the Son of Heavenly Mandate Palace was coming to Dashang spread quickly as if it had wings.
As a result, this sudden event completely replaced the farce between the Merchant Alliance and Yin's Bank and became the hottest topic in the capital.
No matter the dignitaries, commoners, or storytellers, they were all talking about Yan Xiaoyu's coming to the capital.
"Have you heard that the Son of God is coming to the capital to compete with His Highness Mubai, who is also one of the four great geniuses in the world?"
"Real or false? How did I hear that the Son of God is coming to visit Taixue Palace and exchange martial arts with Bai Wangyu, the great disciple of the Confucian sect."
"What you heard is not reliable. If the Son of God of Yudian wanted to compete with His Highness Mu Bai or Bai Wangyu that day, he would have come a long time ago. Why wait until today? According to reliable information, Yan Xiaoyu's target for this trip is not them. "
"If it's not His Highness Mu Bai and Bai Wangyu, who is that?"
"Have you forgotten who is the most talked about person in the capital these days?"
"You mean the legitimate son of the Li family?"
"Yes, this is Li Ziye. I have a relative in Yangzhou City, which is very close to Yuzhou. He said that he had heard of this Li Ziye in Yangzhou. He is a peerless genius who is not inferior to the four great geniuses. He was born holding a sword. He was able to create his own swordsmanship at the age of ten, and the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal took a fancy to his aptitude, so he deliberately went to Yuzhou City to accept him as his disciple."
"Hey, is Li Ziye so powerful?"
"Of course, you said, just a few days after Li Ziye arrived in the capital, the Son of God followed him. Isn't it obvious who the target is?"
"According to what you said, it makes sense. The Li family in Yuzhou City is really incredible. Not to mention their wealth, which rivals that of the country, they have produced such a peerless genius."
"The Li family is going to be prosperous!"
"If heaven had not given birth to me, Li Ziye, the swordsmanship of eternity would be like the dark night!"
Rumors, rumors again, Li Yuan, Li Ziye spit out another mouthful of tea after hearing the rumors spreading outside.
"This, it's not me this time."
Li Ziye said with a look on his face that you might have misunderstood me.
These people are really uneducated. They are not born in heaven, and eternity is like a long night. How can they randomly change the classics!
On the side, Bai Wangyu still looked like a master who had nothing to do with him, calm and content.
Zhang took a sloppy sip of wine and smiled. He didn't even believe a single punctuation mark of what Li Ziye said.
Hongzhu passed by with a plate of dried fruit, threw it to Bai Wangyu and Zhang Slutty, and left immediately.
What about the young master? Just listen.
Anyone who believes it is a fool.
"you!"
Li Ziye had a look of resentment on his face, he was so bullying!
He finally wanted to keep a low profile for a rumor spread by some bastard, but it was pushed to the forefront again.
On the third floor of Shihuayuan, a servant who looked like a servant walked in and said with a respectful expression, "Master, I have followed your instructions and spread the rumors."
"I know, let's go down."
In the room, Li Qingzhi, who was wearing a silver-grey robe and cloak, nodded and said calmly.
The boy took the order, turned around and left.
Li Qingzhi walked to the window and looked at the bustling capital city outside, with an imperceptible smile on his stern face.
Little brother, are you satisfied with this gift from second brother?
