Chapter 858 The Royal Envoys

Seeing Mu Yun and Zhan Guoxiong fighting to the death, Wei Tingshang could not help but feel shocked, and blurted out: "No!"

There was a double shadow in the cry. Zhan Guoxiong leaned on the ground with his broadsword, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly and said: "Yes, your Excellency can move and retract freely, and your martial arts skills are indeed extraordinary."

Mu Yun returned the sword to its sheath, turned around and saluted, "Thank you, Senior Zhan. You are a master of swordsmanship. If it had been me, you would have been a hair's breadth away."

It turns out that just now the two of them were facing each other with extreme moves, but they both withdrew their moves in the blink of an eye, without harming their opponents at all. Their timing was extremely clever.

Zhan Guoxiong also turned around and said with approval: "The ancients said, 'A strong dragon will have regrets, and it will not last long'. There is a mysterious truth about virtual reality, hardness and softness, and you must understand it especially between contraction and release. At your young age, you can To apply the method of movement and stillness to this point is truly a genius in this world.”

This imperial palm envoy was arrogant in front and respectful in back, which showed his heartfelt appreciation. However, Mu Yun was secretly alert, lowered his eyes and said: "The way of movement and stillness is broad and profound. I am just getting a glimpse of it, and I must continue to improve in the future. Just like Senior Zhan. With one strike, the mountain below will stop, and it must be considered carefully."

Warring States Hero stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are so humble, and Zhan cannot bear it. Mrs. Yan and the little princess have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in later."

Mu Yun thanked him, and Wei Tingshang also saluted and said, "Thank you for your mercy, Uncle Zhan. Let's see you later."

Zhan Guoxiong hummed and returned to the room on his own.

Wei Tingshang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mu Yun and said, "You were so bold just now, why are you tit for tat?"

Mu Yun coughed and said, "I'm sure he won't hurt me. Besides, it's rare to fight with such a master. It would be boring to dodge around."

Wei Tingshang was so angry that he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Uncle Zhan's swordsmanship is like a god, and he has bravery that no one can match. The six masters respect him for his martial arts. Fortunately, he deliberately let go, otherwise with your current cultivation level, you would not be able to pass the test. It’s as difficult as climbing to heaven.”

Mu Yun blinked and said: "Senior Zhan did not try his best, but I am not without a trump card. Everyone should give in."

Wei Tingshang couldn't help but roll his eyes, pointed with his hand and said: "Okay, let's continue walking in. If you keep blowing it, I'm afraid the cowhide will burst."

Mu Yun laughed, took the gift from Wei Tingshang, followed her through the moon cave door, and saw another courtyard in front of him.

There was a stone table in the courtyard, and sitting beside it was an old man in green clothes with a round and happy face. His eyebrows are light and his eyes are slender, as if he is squinting all the time. He also has a goatee under his chin, and he seems to be in his sixties.

Wei Tingshang stepped forward, bowed and saluted, "Shang'er has met Uncle Master. This is Young Hero Mu Yun. Aunt Yan has already asked him to come and meet him."

The old man in green clothes was Shi Chougu, the commander of several departments of Zunding Pavilion. He raised his eyes to Mu Yun and said with a kind face: "Well... I have long been curious about who makes Xiao Yaner miss so much. I finally see you today. "No need to be restrained, Mr. Mu, just come and sit here and let us have a drink."

Mu Yun thought to himself that it was a blessing, not a curse, and that there were not many disasters to hide from, so he walked forward calmly, sat down, cupped his fists and said, "I entered Mu Yun as a junior student and met my senior teacher."

There was a silver wine jug and two fine porcelain wine glasses on the table. One of them was very large, more than twice as big as the other.

Shi Zhaogu picked up the wine flask and filled two wine glasses, one large and one small, in turn. He shook them gently and said happily: "Not bad, not bad, exactly one pound. Not one drop too much, not one drop too little."

After saying that, Shi Zhaogu turned to Mu Yun, chuckled and said, "Come on, young man, you pick a drink first."

Mu Yun muttered to himself, could this be a "Kong Rong gives up pear" drama?

Zunding Pavilion promotes Confucianism, pays attention to self-denial and etiquette, and advocates humility and tolerance. This is not wrong.

Having made up his mind, Mu Yun picked up the small cup, raised it with both hands and said, "I have a limited capacity for drinking, so I would like to use this cup as a toast to my senior." Shi Zhaogu raised his eyebrows, slowly shook his head and said, "As the host, how can I take advantage of this? On the surface, Mu Shaoxia is respectful to the guests, but on the inside, he is looking down on me. "

Mu Yun paused for a moment, and quickly said in a serious voice: "I have no intention of looking down upon you, senior, please don't be so worried."

As soon as the words came out, he felt something was wrong. Before Mu Yun had time to make up for it, he heard Shi Zigu say coolly: "Oh? I am afraid that I am too worried? I learned how to rake at a young age, and I don't know how old I am and how old I am. '. Alas...the world is deteriorating and people's hearts are not as good as they used to be. What can we do?"

Mu Yun ate a meal of pai tou and felt like "a mute eats Coptis chinensis and cannot express his sufferings." Fortunately, Wei Tingshang came to the rescue in time and said: "Uncle, please calm down. Mu Shaoxia also has good intentions, but occasionally he fails to convey his meaning. You, the old man, are magnanimous, and since he is willing to be humble, you have the right to let him go."

Shi Zhaogu smiled and looked at Mu Yun and said: "Forget it, this small cup is filled with three taels, and the big cup is filled with seven taels. If you can divide the two glasses of wine fifty-fifty, I will let you go. Otherwise, I will let you go." If you can’t, please go back home.”

When Mu Yun heard this, he suddenly realized that Shi Chougu was the commander of the numerology department, so he was testing his numeracy skills.

Fortunately, Mu Yun had read a lot of books when he was young and was quite accomplished in mathematics. After a moment of thinking, he came up with a final decision. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your generosity, senior. I'm sorry."

After that, Mu Yun picked up the big cup and poured all the wine back into the jug. Then he picked up the small cup and poured all the wine into the big cup. Then he picked up the jug, filled the small cup again, and poured the same into the big cup.

At this time, the small cup is empty, the large cup contains six taels of wine, and the pot contains four taels of wine.

Then Mu Yun picked up the wine pot, filled the small cup first, then picked up the small cup and filled the larger cup with the wine in the cup.

At this time, there are two liang of wine in the small cup, seven liang of wine in the large cup, and one liang of wine in the pot.

Mu Yun did not hesitate, picked up the big cup again, poured all the wine back into the jug, and poured the wine from the small cup into the big cup.

At this time, the small cup is empty, the large cup contains two taels of wine, and the pot contains eight taels of wine.

Mu Yun already had the pearl of wisdom in hand. He picked up the wine bottle and filled the small cup, then picked up the small cup and poured all the wine into the large cup.

At this time, the small cup is empty, the large cup contains five taels of wine, and the pot contains five taels of wine.

This action was completed in one go, Wei Tingshang could not help but cheer.

Mu Yun's expression remained normal, he coughed slightly and said, "It's a 50-50 split right now. Please check it out, senior."

Shi Zhaogu stroked his beard with his hand and laughed and said: "Okay, that's a good deal. Young people are good material."

Mu Yun said humbly: "It's just a fluke. The art of numerology is so profound that I will have to ask my seniors for advice in the future."

Shi Zhaogu said cheerfully: "Let's talk about the future later. You should go see Xiao Yan'er first. If she really gets impatient and makes trouble with me later, I won't be able to bear it."

Mu Yun and Wei Tingshang looked at each other and smiled, then said goodbye to Shi Chougu and walked towards Yide Garden for the last time.

It was already the end of the You period and the beginning of the Xu period. The red sun was gradually setting over the Western Mountains, and red clouds were rolling in the sky, as bright as red clouds and crimson haze. It was a glorious scene.
