The girl pushed open the door and entered without waiting for the sixth prince to speak.
"Senior brother, you..."
His eyes immediately fell on Shen Li.
I saw this young man and the Sixth Prince sitting together very cordially, chatting happily. It didn't take a guess to know that he was Shen Li, who had been gifted the sword by his master.
The young man was obviously close to her age. He was handsome, but he was as sharp as a three-foot sword. His figure was similar to that of an adult. His clothes were not low-key at all, and he was too gorgeous, especially with the hair in his hair. A hairpin is like the number one scholar in high school who parades on the street and makes the people cheer.
Before she arrived at Woxia Temple, her arrogant master said that Shen Li was not only outstanding in the way of swordsmanship, but could rival the most amazing and beautiful young swordsman in Western Shu. "Tune" made countless talents and beauties in Kaixi City of the Southern Wu Dynasty bow their heads and admire him greatly. Even high-ranking officials in the temple and famous scholars also looked forward to drinking, talking, and writing poems with him.
When the Sixth Prince saw that his junior sister had been obsessed with Shen Li for a long time, he laughed and asked, "Sister, are you satisfied with your senior brother who fell from the sky?"
The junior sister immediately became coquettish, not mentioning Shen Li, and sent a wild wink to the Sixth Prince, asking him to help her save some face.
As soon as she came in, she stared at the young man without blinking. Yang Bo, who was standing outside the door and peering around, thought she was a nymphomaniac.
"Senior brother, Mr. Yang is still outside..." the younger junior sister said with a blushing face.
The sixth prince kept laughing and patted Shen Li on the shoulder with one hand: "Junior brother, don't worry, there are always very few rules in Jiange Mountain. Our little junior sister was carried up the mountain when she was still in her infancy, and the masters and uncles often In seclusion, we senior brothers and sisters brought him up with a lot of snot and urine, so the rules were naturally taught less."
"Oh, senior brother... don't expose others' shortcomings... Senior brothers and sisters have told me since I was a child that the sword in your hand is the biggest rule."
"Sit down quickly and pour tea for our two senior brothers."
"yes."
The girl soon became calm and relaxed. She sat next to Shen Li, secretly looked at him, and poured tea for the two of them.
The Sixth Prince explained: "We, senior brothers, hit it off immediately, so we just neglected Brother Yang, but Brother Yang definitely doesn't care. Brother Yang? Am I right?"
Yang Bo outside the door bowed to the Sixth Prince and said, "What the Sixth Prince said is exactly what he said."
Speaking of which, the Sixth Prince gave Yang Bo a relatively big courtesy and agreed to talk to him alone about whether the two countries could cooperate. After all, Yang Bo was not a high-ranking official in the Northern Sui Dynasty temple. Sui Dynasty refused to acknowledge it.
Yang Bo closed the door for them very humbly, so that the three senior brothers and sisters could chat as much as they wanted.
The Sixth Prince smiled and said: "Junior brother, our little junior sister has the same surname as the deputy mountain chief, and her single name is Xiu. She is called Ning Xiu."
Ning Xiu blushed again because Shen Li was looking at her.
She bowed her head slightly.
At this time, the young man took a good look at the sudden appearance of his junior sister.
Ning Xiuren lives up to her name. She has a delicate appearance and a small figure, which seems to be only taller than her sword. Her face is slightly baby fat, her big eyes are like two small lanterns, her small cherry mouth is red and shiny, and the tip of her nose is pretty. His cultivation level is also quite good. He is at the fifth level at the same age as him. In the future, he will break into the Vajra realm and be honored as Ning Jianxian by the people in the world.
"Senior Brother Shen, drink tea quickly." The girl, who was embarrassed by being stared at, pushed the tea cup for Shen Li.
The young man chuckled lightly, stood up, got a teacup for Ning Xiu, and poured tea: "Junior sister, drink too."
In short, after inheriting the sword of the deputy mountain chief, the cause and effect will also follow. According to the rules of Jiange Mountain, he is considered half of the deputy mountain chief's closed disciple, so it makes sense for Ning Xiu, a registered disciple, to regard him as a junior sister.
Ning Xiu seemed to be murmuring, humming, picking up the steaming teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.
The Sixth Prince was stunned, "Drink slowly, it's very hot!"
Ning Xiu's face was as red as an apple. She wasn't shy this time, she was really burned by the tea.
Shen Li couldn't help laughing and thought to himself, what a funny little junior sister.
The sixth prince knew in his heart that he had to find a way out for his junior sister, so that he would not complain behind his back that he did not love her. "Junior brother, your poems and lyrics are described as magical outside. This time we, senior brothers and sisters, are meeting at the right time. Why don't you come?" Write a poem?"
Shen Li clasped his fists and said, "To be honest, senior brother, I happen to have a poem that I want to give to senior brother."
"Oh? Senior brother, you are all ears."
Ning Xiu's pink little ears also stood up.
The young man stood up.
The first two lines of the poem made the Sixth Prince laugh heartily.
"I have mastered the art of swordsmanship. I can kill dragons wherever they are."
It is said that there are many dragons in Western Sichuan, and the swordsman in Sichuan regards killing a dragon as a beautiful thing in his life.
Shen Li could tell that the reason why the sixth prince dared to go deep into Southern Wu without his entourage was because of his ability as a fourth-grade swordsman.
The sword immortals in the world are the most powerful in terms of their killing power. Among them, the sword immortals in Shu should be considered the most powerful.
Ning Xiu opened her mouth and felt goosebumps all over her body. The two lines of the poem were so suitable for the Xishu Sword Immortal that they were almost tailor-made.
No need to listen to the following verses, the Sixth Prince has already clapped his hands excitedly. No wonder the poetry world in Jiangnan was shocked by the young man. It is so elegant, sophisticated and brilliant!
"The morning is full of blue sky, but the sky is still there at dusk. The sun and moon in the cave are my sky."
The Sixth Prince was so excited that he stood up and paced back and forth excitedly.
The sun and the moon in the cave are like heaven to me.
The unrestrained and unrestrained writing of the Sword Immortal can be seen through the back of the paper.
Shen Li smiled and said loudly: "The three-foot sword in the box on my back is a sign of injustice for heaven and man!"
"What a poem! What a poem!!" The Sixth Prince clapped his hands and laughed, "The three-foot sword in the box on his back is a sign of injustice for heaven and for mankind. I, the swordsman, should be able to slay a dragon where there is a dragon, but we still return it at dusk! "
Ning Xiu looked at Shen Li with admiration. The senior brother who fell from the sky was so powerful, wasn't he? ! !
The person is good, the sword is good, and the poetry is good!
"No, senior brother has changed his mind. After you are done with Woxia Temple, you must come back to Xishu and go to Jiange Mountain with us. Let senior brothers and sisters open their eyes and take a good look at what is called Sword Immortal! What is called Ziyouyiban? The romantic swordsman!"
Speaking of this matter, Shen Li hurriedly took the sixth prince's hand and sat down, smiling and saying: "Brother, this matter is not urgent. Junior brother will definitely go to Xishu, but not now."
"Oh? Where are you going? You're not still staying in Nanwu, are you? Don't forget, those things you did in Nanwu, no one is allowed to find you as time goes by."
"Junior brother plans to visit the Northern Sui Dynasty next, and then go north to the grassland. I heard that there are swordsmen competing on the grassland."
"That's it." The Sixth Prince's brows relaxed, "Those people in Nan Wu like to plot and conspire. What I, the Sword Immortal, want is to go straight and not deal with them. Junior brother, go out more and see the beautiful scenery of the rivers and lakes. Senior brother, I support you."
The three of them talked for a while, and Ning Xiu admired Shen Li more and more.
The sixth prince estimated the time and said, "Junior brother, you and I will talk later. Senior brother needs to talk to Yang Bo."
"yes."
Shen Lifu was pulled down by him as soon as he stood up: "No, you are one of our own, there is no need to avoid it."
Immediately, the Sixth Prince shouted: "Brother Yang, I have kept you waiting for a long time. Please come in and talk."
Yang Bo was not impatient at all, as if staying outside the door for a long time was a blessing he could not ask for.
"Sixth Prince..."
Now that we were talking about serious matters, Yang Bo bowed with the Northern Sui Dynasty.
"Get up quickly and sit down."
"As commanded."
"Brother Yang helped me find my junior brother. It's a favor I owe you, but it won't get involved in national affairs."
Yang Bo smiled and said, "That's how it should be."
"The conditions offered by Brother Yang on behalf of the Northern Sui Dynasty are very generous, if I tell my conscience. It's just that I am worried about something, so I would like to ask Brother Yang to clarify my doubts."
Yang Bo seemed calm, but in fact he was panicking.
He was originally a fledgling Confucian scholar. He had read some sage books and was willing to combine knowledge and practice. He was valued by the Northern Sui Dynasty scholars and recommended to important officials in the court.
Later, when the Southern Wu court was in turmoil, a powerful figure from the Northern Sui Dynasty pushed Yang Bo to shoulder the mission and go south.
Waiting for the internal strife in the Southern Wu Dynasty, taking Concubine Lan, the Wu Lord's favorite, northward was a great achievement, but it would not make him rise in the officialdom of the Northern Sui Dynasty. At most, he would be rewarded according to his merit.
Contacted the Sixth Prince who was the envoy from Western Shu to Southern Wu. The two of them had a good negotiation, and could even promote the alliance between Western Shu and Northern Sui families to work together to pacify Southern Wu. In this way, Yang Bo would have a smooth path, and even be granted the title of Marquis in the future. It’s no problem to look good.
Therefore, Yang Bo was not very interested in Concubine Lan.
"Sixth Prince, please speak."
Yang Bo was extremely solemn.
"Brother Yang, the world is divided into three kingdoms, but the Northern Sui Dynasty is the most powerful. Even with the current situation of the imperial palace interfering in politics, the Southern Wu and Western Shu still cannot independently compete with the Northern Sui. If we Western Shu unite with the Northern Sui to destroy the Southern Wu, the Northern Sui will wait for the Western Shu. How about Shu? Will he turn around and destroy Western Shu?"
In the past few years, whether the Northern Sui Dynasty went south or fought with Western Shu, another country would take advantage of the situation to attack the Northern Sui Dynasty and relieve it.
This is also the reason why the Northern Sui Dynasty had the strongest national power among the three kingdoms, but it was still unable to unify the world and make it complete.
Shen Li, who listened silently, understood the concerns of the sixth prince.
Thirty years ago, the Northern Sui Dynasty gathered all its strength and planned to destroy the Southern Wu Dynasty in one fell swoop. Although the Southern Wu Dynasty and the Buddhists worked together to resist, without the Western Shu to restrain the Northern Sui Dynasty, the Northern Sui Dynasty was in a dilemma. The pressure is greatly increased, and it is uncertain whether you can really get what you want.
Yang Bo had been preparing for this for a long time and slowly explained: "The Sixth Prince and the Prime Minister of the Northern Sui Dynasty once told me personally that as long as Western Shu is willing to join forces with the Northern Sui Dynasty to destroy Wu, afterwards, the two families will sign a contract to ensure the exchange of trade and travel. No matter what, I will never use weapons!"
"Ha." The Sixth Prince couldn't help but sneer, "If the Sui Lord said this, I would still consider it. After returning to Shu, I would like to advise Your Majesty, since it was the Prime Minister of the Northern Sui Dynasty who said it, then forget it. And today, who doesn't know you? The prime minister is good at empty talk."
"Your Highness, the prime minister has obeyed... my lord's will..."
The woman who was involved in politics in the harem?
All the information received by the Sixth Prince proved that although Lord Sui was a woman, she was trustworthy and trustworthy.
Shaking his head slowly, the Sixth Prince sighed: "Let me think about it. Cooperating with the Northern Sui Dynasty is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, so we have to be cautious."
When Yang Bo was about to speak, a young monk came, knocked on the door and said, "The current prince of Nanwu is on his way here."
The Sixth Prince laughed: "Brother Yang, look, compared to the Northern Sui Dynasty, Western Shu and Southern Wu are more secure in their cooperation."
It is easy to go down the river from Xishu, but it is even more difficult to go upstream from Nanwu.
