The moon is like a hook.
Big hook.
In the inner courtyard of Li Garden, Li Ziye got the strange pearl from King Nan, comforted Hibiscus, and began to watch the sky at night.
Stars filled the night sky.
"Boy Ziye, when did you learn how to stargaze?"
Under the porch, Hongzhu sat there and asked with a bored expression.
"I just learned it."
Li Ziye stared at the sky and replied, "No one in our family knows this skill except Mr. Ge. It just so happens that I am recovering from my injuries these days, so I will learn it first and then teach him when there is a suitable person."
"Are you eager to learn?"
Hearing this, Hongzhu became more energetic and asked.
"It's okay, do you want to learn? I'll teach you." Li Ziye responded without looking back.
"Hongzhu, don't be deceived by the young master."
In the back room, Taotao looked at the account book and said with a smile, "The young master thinks it's okay. That's for the young master. If it were anyone else, it would probably take at least several years to learn. Think about it, this stargazing If the skill was really so easy to master, Mr. Ge would have taught it to others long ago, why would the young master have to learn it himself?"
"That makes sense, Xiao Ziye, your conscience is very bad!" Hongzhu said dissatisfied.
"Ah."
Li Ziye smiled softly, looked at the stars in the sky, and replied, "Stargazing is indeed not easy for Sister Hongzhu to learn. To master stargazing, you must first have extraordinary memory. It is indeed difficult for most people to learn."
"Is this thing really so accurate?"
Hongzhu asked curiously, "I heard that the royal family's astrology masters can deduce the direction of a country's fortune based on the astrology, and can calculate natural and man-made disasters. It's very miraculous."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Li Ziye responded casually, "This kind of mysterious and mysterious thing usually involves three parts of calculation, three parts of blindness, and four parts of luck. If you have bad luck, you will make a wrong calculation."
"Are you still relying on blindness?"
Behind, Hongzhu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and said in surprise, "Then what's the use of learning it?"
"Being idle is also idle. Isn't there a three-point calculation in it?"
Li Ziye responded with a smile, "This three-point calculation is what makes you better than others. It can save lives at critical moments."
"Then what did you see?" Hongzhu asked suspiciously.
"The fortunes of big business and the country are unstable."
Li Ziye looked at the sky and replied, "The north is about the same as Dashang, and it is also at the end of its strength. On the contrary, the west is prosperous, and it seems to have a tendency to overwhelm the north and Dashang."
"Is this still necessary?"
Hongzhu said disdainfully, "A fool can see the situation in Dashang, Mobei, and the Western Regions, so there is no need to look at the stars."
"I just learned it, and it's good to be able to see so much."
Li Ziye looked back and said with a smile, "I mainly want to see whether it is good or bad to go to the Western Region. After looking at it for a long time, I really can't see any reason."
"Young Master."
Just as the two of them were talking, a figure in green clothes and long hair appeared outside the inner courtyard. He saluted respectfully and said, "Found it."
"Have you found everything?"
Li Ziye turned around, looked at Tianzhique outside the courtyard, and asked.
"Um."
Tianzhique nodded and responded, "The whereabouts of the ten Shadow Guards teams, except for the leaderless sixth and seventh teams, have been found out."
"The Shadow Guard captains of the sixth and seventh teams are now dead. There is no need to worry about these two teams for the time being."
Li Ziye thought for a while and ordered, "Get the other eight teams out for him!"
"yes!"
Tianzhique accepted the order, bowed respectfully, and then turned and left.
"Xiao Ziye, if you do this, will the royal family and the Li family immediately fall out?"
Under the porch, Hongzhu asked worriedly after listening to the order given by the young master in front of her.
"For what reason?"
Li Ziye sneered and said, "Everything must be done according to the teacher's reputation. Over the years, he has repeatedly done evil things to the Li family without fear of the Li family's revenge. Isn't it for this reason? Now, it's our turn!"
The struggle between the Li family and the royal family has begun in full swing, but it will not be brought to light for the time being.
"Xiao Ziye, won't the future life of the Li family be too easy?"
From behind, Hongzhu asked solemnly, "Even if the royal family won't openly quarrel with the Li family, they will definitely try every means to suppress the Li family."
"good."
Li Ziye nodded and said calmly, "The struggle has begun."
The next day.
Shou'an Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Mu Bai came to say hello, and the atmosphere between father and son was quite good.
At least, there was no tension at stake.
"Bai'er, come and play chess with your father."
Emperor Shang looked at his legitimate son in front of him and said with a gentle expression, "I haven't played chess with you for a long time. Let me see if your chess skills have improved."
"Yes, Father."
Mu Bai took the order, stepped forward, sat down in front of the chess table, and took the initiative to pick up the black pieces.
"There were outsiders that day, so I didn't ask carefully, Bai'er, how is your practice of the World-Suppressing Art?" Emperor Shang asked with concern.
Mu Bailuozi responded truthfully, "I am practicing the eighth form."
"Where's the ninth form?"
Shang Huang picked up a white piece, dropped it on the chessboard, and asked.
"I don't have a clue yet." Mu Bai responded.
"Pity."
Emperor Shang sighed softly and said, "If your Uncle Seventh Emperor is here, he might be able to give you some pointers. Among the royal family, your Uncle Seventh Emperor has the highest martial arts talent, even better than you."
Mu Bai remained silent and continued to make moves.
"Hibiscus is back, but your Seventh Emperor uncle hasn't come back. You should understand the meaning."
Emperor Shang said as he made his move, "It's a pity. If it weren't for your Seventh Emperor's innate deficiencies, you might even become the first person in the royal family to break through the Five Realms in thousands of years. The Nine Styles of World-Suppressing Art might also be able to truly make up for it. "
"Give me some time."
Mu Bai raised his head and said seriously, "I will definitely try my best to complete the World-Suppressing Art."
"Easier said than done."
Emperor Shang frowned and responded, "It has been thousands of years since the World-Suppressing Technique was created, but no one has been able to understand the ninth form. Even if the nine tripods are completed, no one in the royal family can understand the ninth form for more than 20 years." Mode."
Having said this, Emperor Shang picked up a white piece and placed it next to the black piece, and suddenly asked, "Bai'er, do you think your Seventh Emperor's uncle will pass on the ninth style to Hibiscus."
Mu Bai looked slightly startled and said in surprise, "Uncle Seventh Emperor has realized the ninth form?"
"It's just a guess."
Emperor Shang observed the expression of his legitimate son in front of him and said in a rather regretful tone, "However, Mu Jin is not a member of the royal family, so your Seventh Emperor's Uncle may not teach her this martial arts. Unfortunately, if your Seventh Emperor's Uncle knows how to adapt, he will It would be great if the World-Suppressing Technique was passed on to Hibiscus. In this case, the Nine-Style World-Suppressing Technique might really be able to complete the task."
When Mu Bai heard this, he hesitated and asked, "Does the father really not care about people outside the royal family practicing the World-Suppressing Art?"
"Hibiscus can be an exception."
Emperor Shang smiled slightly and responded, "She is the only one beside you, Uncle Seven Emperors. If you want to pass on the World-Suppressing Secret, you can only pass it on to her. It is understandable that the matter is due to authority. After all, compared to In the inheritance of the World-Suppressing Art, those rules are not worth mentioning!"
After hearing what his father said before him, Mu Bai fell silent again.
"Bai'er, are you hiding something from your father?"
Emperor Shang settled in and said, "By the way, I heard that Li Jiaoxi and Mu Jin went to your mansion yesterday and didn't leave until sunset. Have you been competing for so long?"
"No."
Mu Bai shook his head and replied, "We only exchanged a few moves."
"oh?"
Emperor Shang looked surprised and asked, "Then what did you do?"
"Did nothing."
Mu Bai told the truth, "It's just tea."
"Tea?"
Shang Huang narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the former's answer.
lie!
