"Little Red Riding Hood is hurt?"
After Li Yuan and Li Ziye came back, Hongzhu asked curiously, "Is the injury serious?"
"Pretty heavy."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "I can't even get out of bed."
"That's quite serious."
Hongzhu stuffed a piece of dried fruit into her mouth and said, "However, looking at you like this, he probably won't die."
"..."
Li Ziye rolled his eyes and said, "He broke through the restrictions on the fifth floor of some Buddhist scripture tower and almost got hung up in it, asking for trouble."
"Fifth floor of the Sutra Pagoda?"
When Hongzhu heard these words, she looked stunned and said in disbelief, "Did it succeed?"
She had heard of the Confucian Buddhist Scripture Pagoda, but it was not something that ordinary people could break into.
"Successful."
Li Ziye said depressedly.
Hearing this, Hongzhu reached out and patted the shoulder of the young man next to her, and said with emotion, "Look, I've heard that the restrictions on the fifth floor of the Sutra-Tibetan Pagoda usually require a great practitioner of the Five Realms to break through. , no matter how bad it is, you still need a master at the peak of the fourth realm like Chen Qiaoer. If I remember correctly, Little Red Riding Hood should not have entered the fourth realm yet, right?"
"No."
Li Ziye shook his head with a depressed expression.
"There's a gap."
Hongzhu had a look of hatred on her face and said, "Xiao Ziye, you can go to the Yezang Sutra Pagoda another day and see if you can go up to the third floor."
"..."
Li Ziye stood up and said angrily, "I won't talk to you, I'm going to practice my sword!"
After saying that, Li Ziye picked up his sword and continued to practice.
at the same time.
Imperial Palace, Shou'an Hall.
When Emperor Shang heard the news from the Confucian sect, a strange color flashed in his sinister eyes.
Then Bai Wangyu passed the test on the fifth floor of the Scripture Deposit Tower?
Doesn't it mean that this Confucian sect disciple can even burst into strength comparable to the Five Realms under certain circumstances?
He seemed to underestimate this Confucian disciple.
"Come here, call the fourth prince into the palace immediately to see me."
Thinking of this, Emperor Shang came to his senses and ordered.
"yes!"
A chamberlain took the order and left in a hurry.
The Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Because he had left Dashang without permission before, the fourth prince Mu Bai had been grounded for several months.
For the fourth son born by the queen, Emperor Shang finally showed mercy and did not punish him severely.
"Father, have you summoned me to the palace?"
In the mansion, Mu Bai was surprised when he heard the news from the servant in front of him.
"Yes, Your Highness Fourth Prince."
The waiter responded respectfully.
Mu Bai hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I will enter the palace with my father-in-law."
The two then left the palace and took a sedan chair to the palace.
It didn't take long.
In front of Shou'an Hall, two people walked quickly.
"Hurry up, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."
Outside the palace, a personal servant of the Shang Emperor saw the two people arriving and hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Um."
Mu Bai nodded and walked into the palace.
"My son, please see your father."
In the hall, Mu Bai knelt down and saluted.
"Get up."
Emperor Shang looked at the fourth child in front of him and said, "Come over and finish this mess with me."
Mu Bai stood up and said calmly, "My son is not good at chess, so I'm afraid he won't be able to catch my father's eye."
"It's just a competition between father and son. The outcome is not important." Emperor Shang said calmly.
Mu Bai nodded, stepped forward, and sat across from the chess table.
On the chessboard, the fight between the black and white pieces has become very fierce.
Mu Bai took the initiative to take the black piece, looked at the chess game in front of him, and asked, "Father, whose turn is it?"
"Kuroko."
Shang Huang replied.
Mu Bai scanned the entire chess game again and quickly dropped the chess piece in his hand.
The killing was decisive and the offensive was fierce, with no intention of hiding clumsiness.
When Emperor Shang saw this, he also pinched a white stone and dropped it to counterattack.
soon.
The whole chess situation is getting more intense.
Attack against attack, the situation did not last long. After about a quarter of an hour, Heizi was defeated and completely defeated.
"My son has lost."
Seeing that the situation was over, Mu Bai put down the chess piece in his hand and said.
"Fourth brother, do you know who among your brothers is the best at chess?"
Shang Huang also put down the white piece in his hand and asked.
"It should be Brother Three Emperors."
Mu Bai thought for a while and replied.
"Lao San's chess skills are indeed good."
Emperor Shang nodded, "However, the one with the best chess skills is your eldest brother."
"Big Brother?"
Mu Bai was startled, but quickly came to his senses and said, "I have played chess with my eldest brother, and we have indeed lost more than we have won."
"You, don't you understand?"
Emperor Shang sighed softly, "If Mu Yuan didn't hide his clumsiness, you wouldn't even have a chance to win a game. Among all my princes, you are the least scheming and unwilling to fight. Even if you have your eldest brother or The Third Emperor Brother is half as ambitious, so I won’t bother myself so much.”
"My son is obsessed with martial arts and has no interest in power."
Mu Bai looked calm and said, "Dashang has his father, and among the princes, there are also all-round civil and military talents like the eldest brother, the third brother, and the eleventh brother. There are not many ministers with many children, and there are many ministers with young children."
"If you don't fight, others will."
Emperor Shang's expression darkened and he said, "Fourth brother, in the royal family, many times, it doesn't mean that you don't have to fight if you don't want to fight. How many people are watching the position of the prince? In the past dynasties, the battle for the throne has been either you die or I am. If you don’t fight for your life, what will your mother and queen do, and what will happen to those courtiers who support you?”
"Father, these words have been said by many people and ministers."
Mu Bai said seriously, "I don't want anyone to influence my life. I just want to follow the path I want to take."
"If your mother hears these words from you, she will definitely be angry again."
Emperor Shang said with a complex expression, "Do you know why I want to play a game of chess for you?"
"I don't know." Mu Bai shook his head.
"Because, as long as you compromise in the chess game just now, you can win."
Emperor Shang said solemnly, "However, you still chose to fight attack with attack. Fourth child, your character is too strong and needs to be changed."
"Father."
Mu Bai looked at his father in front of him and said seriously, "My son, I really have no interest in power."
Hearing this, Emperor Shang showed displeasure on his face, but did not show any signs of anger. He said, "That's all, we'll talk about this later. I've called you here today to ask you something."
Having said this, Emperor Shang glanced at the direction of Taixue Palace and said in a solemn voice, "Just yesterday, Bai Wangyu from the Confucian sect passed the test on the fifth floor of the Buddhist Scripture Tower."
"Fifth floor?"
When Mu Bai heard this, he looked surprised.
"You and the Confucian disciple once teamed up to deal with the monsters in the polar night world in Mobei. Based on your understanding of him, has this person's strength really reached the height of a five-story building?" Emperor Shang said solemnly. road.
"Probably not yet."
Mu Bai shook his head and said, "Wangyu's strength should be between that of Erchen and Erchen. It is impossible to improve so much in just half a year."
"So, Bai Wangyu will not be the second Li Qingzhi."
Shang Huang said with a cold look in his eyes.
