"Xie Xiangcai, I heard Lou Ma tell many stories about male love and female love before. Do you know which one impressed me the most?"
The sun was about to set, and the last ray of setting sun passed through the entrance of Wuyi Alley, startling a few sparrows living under the eaves of the old house.
Yueying turned back three times step by step, finally stood still, looked at the sunset at the entrance of the alley, and asked thanking the Prime Minister.
Xie Xiangcai stopped, pondered for a moment, and shook his head slightly, "Could it be some kind of story about love that cannot be achieved?"
Yue Ying rolled her eyes at Xie Xiangcai, then her eyes were empty, and she said softly, "It's not that love cannot be achieved, but..."
Halfway through her words, Yue Ying gave up and said, "Hey, I won't tell you! I'll tell you after I get out of seclusion!"
Xie Xiangcai snorted lightly, then raised his head and looked at the sky, "It's getting late, let's go back."
Yueying nodded slightly, turned sideways, half of her body reflected in the setting sun, stood quietly for a while and then murmured softly, "Weeds and flowers beside the Suzaku Bridge, the setting sun at the entrance of Wuyi Alley, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang in the old days flew into the homes of ordinary people …”

After Xie Xiangcai sent Yueying to retreat, he returned to the Yangjian Pavilion to practice his luck. During this period, he also practiced the skills taught by the seventh senior brother several times, as well as the "special skills" taught by the other senior brothers.
A few hours later, before dawn, there was a knock on his door.
Prime Minister Xie stopped his work and stood up, straightened his clothes in front of the bronze mirror in front of the window, and then opened the door.
Outside the house, there is a face that has been missing for a long time.
The fifth son, Murong Mingzhu.
Xie Xiangcai looked at the other party with some surprise, "Fifth Senior Brother? Why did you think of coming to me so early?"
Murong Mingzhu stretched out her big hand and rubbed Xie Xiangcai's head, and said with a smile, "Junior brother, master asked me to come to you!"
Xie Xiangcai was a little puzzled. He pointed at himself and asked, "Looking for me? Master, why are you looking for me?"
Murong Mingzhu said seriously, "Junior brother, now that you have successfully entered the fifth realm, master is going to take us to the capital."
Xie Xiangcai's eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly, "Going to the capital? What are you going to the capital for?"
The smile on Murong Mingzhu's cheeks completely disappeared, and he said in a deep voice, "Go and take Yan'er back to Qingmeng City."
Xie Xiangcai slowly closed his mouth and nodded gently after a moment of silence, "When will you leave?"
"Let's set off at dawn. Junior brother, please put on your clothes and bring your equipment. Master and I will wait for you outside the city gate in an hour."
After Murong Mingzhu left these words, her figure turned into a blur and flew away from the city gate.
Xie Xiangcai is not yet ready to go to the capital. After all, when he was in Dongfeng City, the Seventh Senior Brother told him many times that the capital is extremely dangerous and there are many masters. If he inevitably has to go here in the future, he must do it well. Perfectly prepared.
This time I went to the capital and heard from the fifth senior brother that it was the master's wish. Since the master had already made a plan, the disciples had no choice but to obey.
Xie Xiangcai quietly closed the door, took out a set of exquisite black robes that he had never worn before from the cupboard, and tied his waist with a corset embroidered with dark red patterns.
The young man then put the scabbard on his back, walked to the window, looked at himself in the mirror, took a deep breath, and rushed out of the room in an instant.
Outside the white jade city gate, two figures came at random, one behind the other. The former was dressed in white and had a phoenix robe engraved with gold patterns, with a high crown on his head and a jade hanging from his waist. The latter was wearing armor and a long sword at his waist.
Xie Xiangcai rarely saw Hu Jie dressed in such formal clothes, and he couldn't help but froze in place for a while.
Hu Jie turned around naturally and looked at Xie Xiangcai with disdain. When he saw his clothes, he nodded with satisfaction.
Murong Mingzhu, who was on the side, stepped forward and tied the jade pendant in her hand around Xie Xiangcai's waist, then smiled and said, "Junior brother, shall we set off then?"
Xie Xiangcai nodded slightly and followed Murong Mingzhu into the front seat of an eight-carriage.
The two of them were sitting on the seats. Hu Jie, who was not far away, had a calm expression and slowly got into the car.
Everything looked so calm and composed. Hu Jie, who was wearing a phoenix robe and a high crown, had an aura of calmness and authority at the moment.
Under the watch of all the people in the city, the carriage drove slowly towards the north, with the Forbidden Army leading the way and the masters of Qingmeng City behind.
"What a piece of shit, it hurts me!"
Hu Jie in the carriage didn't last long before he cursed, took off his phoenix robe, and at the same time threw his high crown at his feet.
After hearing this, Xie Xiangcai and his brother outside the carriage looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
On the way, Hu Jie in the carriage has been silent since that complaint.
Xie Xiangcai dozed off a little on the swaying carriage, and when he was about to fall asleep, a voice came into his ears.
"Lao Wu Lao Ba, there are some bastards within ten miles, you two go and deal with them!"
This voice came from Hu Jie's heart to the ears of Xie Xiangcai and Murong Mingzhu. The two looked at each other, nodded together, and disappeared on the carriage in an instant.
In less than half a stick of incense, the two men appeared in the vanguard position again, their clothes and hair still as neat as before.
Murong Mingzhu inserted the Dragon-Slaying Sword into her waist, turned her head to look at Xie Xiangcai and said with a click of her tongue, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, little junior brother, there is a saying that the third senior brother told me, it's called 'Three days of farewell to see each other with admiration', before. I don’t know what it means, but I finally understood it when I saw my junior brother’s skills today!”
Xie Xiangcai scratched his head and said, "Fifth Senior Brother is ridiculous."
In the carriage, Immortal Immortal cursed angrily, "You two little bastards, don't disturb my sleep!"
The roar came out, and the two people immediately swallowed back the words they were about to spit out.

"Report——"
Outside the main hall of Wanji Pavilion, the reporting eunuch holding a wolf whisk was shouting.
"Enter."
A deep and deep voice came from the closed door of the main hall. Hearing the sound, the eunuch outside the hall opened the door and entered, kneeling on the ground.
"Mr. Ge, the lord of Qingmeng City, Hu Jie, and his two disciples have already left for the capital."
The old man in his 60s on the Xuan chair placed the brush in his hand on the inkstone, raised his head slightly, and narrowed his eyes slightly with a cold light shining in them.
"Which two disciples are you leading?"
"Back to the pavilion, it's the fifth disciple Murong Mingzhu and the eighth disciple Xie Xiangcai."
"I know, let's inform the emperor."
"Okay!"
"Hey, by the way, remember to put away all the calligraphy and paintings that the emperor usually hangs in the main hall, lest Hu Jie comes over and talks too much!"
"I know, little one!"
Sitting at the table, Mr. Wanjige, who was originally in a state of poetry and ready to write a few inscriptions, was really the most powerful Prime Minister of the Qing Dynasty and was more powerful than anyone else. At this moment, he felt a lot of pressure for no reason.
In such a huge Daqing dynasty, the only thing that made him fearful was the immortal Hu Jie who lived thousands of miles away in Qingmeng City.
Hu Jie has not been in court for ten years. Once he is in court, the government and the public will be shocked. If he is afraid of only ten thousand, that unpredictable guy will target him this time. His position will not be guaranteed, and his cultivation will be even worse. No guarantee.
Mr. Ge was pacing back and forth in Wanji Pavilion, feeling very upset.
He has controlled the government for many years. Although he secretly harbored grudges against Qingmeng City, which is thousands of miles away, he has never brought the conflict between the capital and Qingmeng City to the table. Therefore, Hu Jie has not taken advantage of him over the years. Boiled vegetables.
However, regarding Concubine Yan's affairs in recent years, Mr. Ge's big hand has indeed been secretly adding fuel to the flames. Even the meeting between Concubine Yan and the emperor was arranged by him in advance.
The talents of each of Hu Jie's disciples are too terrifying. If it takes time for a few of them to achieve great martial arts achievements, no one in the entire Daqing government and the public will be able to match the eight of them together.
Therefore, for Mr. Ge, the big problem is not Hu Jie, but several of his disciples. If there is an opportunity to corrupt a person's Taoist heart and practice foundation, he should not hesitate to take action.
He had made Murong Mingzhu trapped in the Five Realms for a long time through the incident of Concubine Yan. Now that the only son of the Murong family came to the capital, he would definitely find the right opportunity to get rid of him.
As long as Murong Mingzhu dies, the Murong clan that has been entrenched in the capital for a long time will fall apart. It will only be a matter of time before the tree falls and the hozens disperse.
Ge Lao has been in power for many years. Although he has never practiced cultivation, except for the share given to the emperor, all the delicacies and treasures of the entire Daqing Dynasty have gone into his stomach. Even if it does not make his strength more refined, it can still be maintained at the late stage of the Eighth Realm. become a problem.
In the capital, there were also the Superintendent of Ceremonies and the guy who had been living in a deep pool for a long time. He didn't believe that even if Hu Jie was so powerful, he could get benefits from the three of them!
As long as Hu Jie is held back, it will not be surprising that Murong Mingzhu and the young master Xie Xiangcai will do so.
Ge Lao suddenly stopped and felt awe-inspiring.
I remember when the secret agent returned to the court and informed me of Xie Xiangcai's background and strength for the first time, it was only a year ago.
However, in this short period of one year, the young man with chaotic energy in his body and a hint of childish personality has completed three consecutive jumps above the realm, leaping from the original second realm to a master of the fifth realm. Swordsmanship ranks among the swordsmen of the Daqing Dynasty.
What makes Mr. Xie most frightened is that Xie Xiangcai is only sixteen years old now. If he is given another ten years, I'm afraid...
Although this seemingly weakest young disciple is not as valued as the other young masters who have their own strengths, he will definitely go the furthest among the eight disciples of Hujie Sect in the future as he has not been crowned yet. , the person with the highest achievement!
Can't stay!
Must not stay!
The elder was so upset that he simply pushed down all the tables and chairs in the hall, and then swept out of the hall regardless of his image, turning into a rainbow and flickering towards the sky.
