"drive!"
The driver drove the carriage and quickly left Maple Leaf Alley.
The guards followed.
Li Gui was riding on the horse, his cheeks were red and swollen, looking at the carriage in front of him, gritting his teeth.
Luo Qingzhou wore a Confucian robe and sat alone in the carriage.
He thought for a while, took out the summons document, and sent a message to Linghu Qingzhu: [Uncle Master, can I trouble you with something? 】
The message was quickly replied: [say]
Luo Qingzhou: [If you have time, can you help me find a house by the Yunwu River at the foot of the mountain? It doesn’t matter if it’s simple, but it needs to be big enough to accommodate at least a dozen people]
Zhuzhu: [Okay, something happened to you? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [Not yet, make preparations in advance. Uncle Master, I may have to go to the sect to practice for a while]
Zhuzhu: [When are you coming? Do you need me to pick you up? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [No, I will go after I have settled the family. Uncle Master, I would like to ask, will the sect protect me and my family? 】
Zhuzhu: [You are the only disciple of the sect master, of course you will]
Luo Qingzhou: [If I commit a treasonous act, what crime should be punished by the nine tribes? 】
Zhuzhu: [I will hide you]
Luo Qingzhou: [Thank you, uncle]
Zhu Zhu: [Stop doing stupid things and practice hard. With your talent, the future world will never be limited to Great Yan]
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved and he asked: [Does Uncle Master know the world outside Dayan? 】
Zhu Zhu: [There are people outside people, there is heaven outside the sky, and there is a world outside the Great Flame, so naturally there is a world outside the Great Flame]
Luo Qingzhou: [Master uncle said it, which means he didn’t say it]
Zhuzhu: [What is your attitude towards Uncle Master? You don’t want to be called Master Uncle anymore, do you? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [Uncle, is my senior sister okay now? 】
Zhuzhu: [Very good, I have decided to accept her as an inner disciple of Jianfeng]
Luo Qingzhou: [Uncle, please don’t make exceptions because of me]
Zhuzhu: [Don’t be sentimental. Daoling is very talented in understanding the sword, and she practices very hard. No matter it is day or night, she practices as long as she has time. She should want to do something for you]
Luo Qingzhou: [Tell her not to be tired, I will handle my own affairs]
Zhuzhu: [Then why did you ask me for what you just did? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [Uncle Master, you should have learned the Six Meridians Divine Sword, right? Have you heard of the Dugu Nine Swords? What about Yiyangzhi? Where are the flying immortals from the sky? 】
Zhuzhu: [Teach me! 】
Luo Qingzhou: [Uncle, I know you are in a hurry, but don’t be in a hurry]
Zhuzhu: [When will you come? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [Just these two days, I have no place to practice in the city, so I have to go to the sect to practice. Uncle Master will help me find a good place then]
Zhuzhu: [Okay, come to my Jianfeng, no one will bother you or find you]
Luo Qingzhou: [Why do I feel a little scared after listening to my uncle’s words]
Zhuzhu: [It’s not me you should be afraid of, but the saint in Xianyun Pavilion. The sect leader went to refuse the marriage the day before yesterday. The saint felt humiliated and wanted to challenge you for a duel. She is expected to come to our Lingxiao Sect soon]
Luo Qingzhou: [What does it have to do with me? It was Master who helped me refuse. Master won’t betray me, right? 】
Zhuzhu: [The sect master told the truth, saying that you were unwilling, and that you were self-righteous and looked down on her, so she was very angry and angry]
Luo Qingzhou: [Uncle, I didn’t make Master angry, why did Master try to trick me? 】
Zhuzhu: [Have you ever heard that if you don’t fight, you won’t get to know each other? Also, the sect master may have been looked down upon there, so she wanted to show off her only disciple. Therefore, you have to work hard, don't embarrass the sect leader and Lingxiao Sect, and defeat the saint of Xianyun Pavilion when the time comes, you know? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [I don’t want to fight]
Zhuzhu: [Do you just want to kill people? That day you brought your wife to the sect, and the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards and dozens of Jinyiwei disappeared out of thin air. They found the sect, but there is no evidence.]
Luo Qingzhou: [Uncle, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t want to fight or kill, I just live quietly]
Zhu Zhu: [Only when you are alone can you be at peace. You have too many bonds and can never be quiet]
Luo Qingzhou: [Uncle Master, when the saint from the Fairy Pavilion comes, can I just admit defeat?]
Zhuzhu: [Okay, if you lose, you have to continue to marry her to Xianyunge. Not only do you want to marry her, but you also want her to be your official wife]
Luo Qingzhou: [Is she so domineering? 】
Zhuzhu: [Xianyun Pavilion is overbearing. Now the cultivation resources are scarce, and the cultivation resources in other people's hands are abundant. All sects and even the imperial court are fawning over them. How can we not be overbearing? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [Then why does Xianyun Pavilion like our Lingxiao Sect? 】
Zhuzhu: [Of course it’s our overall strength. Think about it for yourself, the other sects, Jin Chan Temple, Qingyun Temple, Huashan Sect, needless to say the first two, it is impossible for them to marry a monk and a Taoist priest. As for the Huashan Sect, the people there are despicable, like to go back on their word, and have no character, so Xianyun Pavilion is not willing to do so either.]
Luo Qingzhou: [Isn’t there still a court? 】
Zhuzhu: [There is indeed a court. Let me tell you that the current Holy Emperor once sent someone to Xianyun Pavilion to propose marriage to the saint, but was rejected by Xianyun Pavilion. Since the founding of our five major sects, there has been no precedent for marrying with the imperial court, which would be ridiculed. Moreover, if a saint marries the emperor, she will lose her freedom and be bound by various rules, so people are naturally unwilling to do so. However, there were people in Longhu Academy who were married to the five major sects. I don’t know the specific circumstances.]
Luo Qingzhou: [Uncle Master, no matter we win or lose, I will never marry her]
Zhuzhu: [When you see her, maybe you will change your mind. She is really beautiful. If she is said to be the number one in Dayan, no one will object.]
Luo Qingzhou: [Uncle Master, I object! To say that I am number one in Great Yan, there is one person in my house who is number one in Great Yan. It is no exaggeration to say that I am number one in the world. If she says second, no one dares to say first]
Zhuzhu: [Is your wife? What’s number one in your mind, right? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [When you have the chance, you can show it to your uncle. Then he will naturally know what I said and there is nothing exaggerated]
Zhuzhu: [Okay, I will go to the riverside to help you find a house tomorrow. You can bring her here early for me to admire.]
When Luo Qingzhou was about to reply, the carriage slowly stopped.
The voice of Li Gui gritting his teeth came from outside: "Master Luo, we're here, please get out of the car!"
Luo Qingzhou put away the summons, straightened his clothes, and got out of the carriage.
Li Gui looked at him with cold eyes, not hiding the hatred on his face.
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and looked at him.
The two looked at each other and were silent for a few seconds. Li Gui just wanted to say something, but he immediately held back and said coldly: "Master Luo, please."
Although he was filled with hatred, he didn't dare to say another random word, for fear that the little bastard would catch him saying something again, slap him in the face, and then take the opportunity to slap him.
The key is that every time this little bastard gets slapped with a frightening amount of blame, he has no power to refute.
Shit, are all scholars so cheap and despicable?
Luo Qingzhou looked at him and said, "Do you know why the Holy One has called me?"
Li Gui shut his mouth tightly and looked at him coldly without saying a word, not giving him any chance to find trouble and slap him.
"Snapped!"
Unexpectedly, Luo Qingzhou went up to him anyway, slapped him in the face, and shouted angrily: "What do you want me to ask you?"
Li Gui couldn't bear it anymore and became furious: "You little bastard, are you looking for death?"
Then he shouted to the guard next to him: "Hit him! Beat him to death for us!"
Luo Qingzhou put his hands behind his back, held his head high, and said with an imposing manner: "Come on, beat me to death. Even if you don't beat me to death, you can slap me a few times. Make my face swollen, and at least make a few slap marks." , so that your Majesty can see clearly later. I am a weak scholar who has passed the exam, and I am also the most loyal minister of your Majesty. If you slap me to death, I won’t have to participate in next year’s exam. After passing the national examination, there is no need to meet the Holy Master anymore, and there is no need to work for the Holy Master in the future. Come on, beat me to death!"
The guards: "..."
Li Gui covered his burning cheeks and opened his mouth. He was shocked, angry, hateful and angry, but he could only widen his flaming eyes and could no longer say a word.
"Eunuch Li, come and fight."
Luo Qingzhou walked directly in front of him and said: "I am a Juren, you can beat me as you please, I will not tell the Holy One."
Li Gui stared at him, gritted his teeth, and was trembling with anger.
At this time, a middle-aged eunuch hurried over and said anxiously: "Little noble son, what's going on? Since Mr. Luo has arrived, why don't you bring him in? Your Majesty and the eldest princess are both waiting, and so is the Queen Mother. Here you are, why are you still lingering here?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Gui trembled with fright. He hurriedly endured his hatred and begged: "Master Luo, please come in quickly."
Luo Qingzhou said coldly: "You are wrong."
Li Gui gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and said with trembling lips: "Slave... I'm wrong... Mr. Luo has a lot of people, so don't argue with me... Hurry, go in quickly."
Only then did Luo Qingzhou let him go, turned around, and walked slowly towards the palace.
Li Gui gritted his teeth, looked at him with a malicious look, and immediately followed him.
The middle-aged eunuch urged anxiously: "Mr. Luo, can you walk faster? Just now the eldest princess was praising you, saying that Mr. Luo is proficient in poetry, poetry, and poetry, and the Holy Master also praised him endlessly. The Queen Mother is very interested in the young man. , I want to hear the young master write some poems to entertain the dinner party. The Queen Mother also said that if the young master is really capable, he can often come to the palace to study with the Holy Master..."
Li Gui, who was following behind, looked even more grim.
Luo Qingzhou asked: "My father-in-law, who announced that I will enter the palace tonight?"
The middle-aged eunuch lowered his head and replied: "It was the Holy One who took the initiative to mention the young master. The Holy One took the initiative to talk to the eldest princess about the young master, and then sent the little noble son to announce the young master's entry into the palace."
Luo Qingzhou nodded slightly and said no more.
It seems that tonight's dinner is even more terrifying than the Hongmen Banquet.
As soon as he walked up the steps, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking out of the house, and his eyes happened to look at him.
Dressed in a fiery red dress, she is tall and has a noble and elegant temperament, but those eyes and face reveal an extremely cold and majestic look, which makes people intimidated.
"This servant pays homage to Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess. Xiao Guizi has brought Mr. Luo here."
The middle-aged eunuch immediately bowed to worship.
Li Gui, who was following behind, also quickly bowed his head and took a few steps forward to pay homage.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the fiery red figure for a few times, lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "Qingzhou pays homage to His Highness. Your Highness has traveled all the way, thank you for your hard work."
Nangong Huoyue glanced at him again, said nothing, turned around, and entered the room, leaving him with only a cold back and a fiery red skirt trailing on the ground.
