That year, that cicada, that sword

chapter 566

After walking out the door, all the anger on Xiao Li's face disappeared, and he asked calmly, "Old Zhang, what cultivation level is Xu Beiyou?"

Zhang Zhu pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "The realm of the five-story building of the earth immortal is correct. If it is only based on the realm, it is not too amazing, but the Qi of the Zhuxian sword in one hand is too terrifying, and the old man cannot guard against it. It still suffered a big loss, but then again, after all, it is the method of Jianzong to suppress the bottom of the box, and it is reasonable to have such power."

Xiao Li smiled, "In the past, this king would really have had a serious dispute with Mr. Xu, but now it's not the same as usual, and it's better not to go wrong again."

Zhang Zhu asked softly: "Where is King Liao?"

Xiao Li said indifferently: "Since it is acting for His Majesty, it is natural to do enough of the show. If Xu Beiyou did not disrupt the situation, Mu Tangzhi would completely give up his face today. Only in this way, His Majesty will believe that the two of us are real. It has to be said that this Liao king is a character."

Xiao Li paused for a moment, then chuckled lightly and said: "But with this emperor's son-in-law disrupting the situation, the trick has been made more real, which can be regarded as a surprise."

Zhang Zhu said softly: "If the fake is true, the real is also fake. I'm afraid that the fake show will be true."

Xiao Li was noncommittal, boarded the carriage, and Zhang Zhu and a group of guards rode along with him.

In the carriage, Xiao Li closed his eyes and rested his mind, and suddenly said: "Who would have thought that Zhang Zhaonu would fall into the hands of such a young man."

Zhang Zhu outside the carriage said calmly: "At the end of the day, Zhang Zhaonu is too arrogant. After Gongsun Zhongmou's death, there will be no one in Jiangdu. That place let Murong Xuanyin and Taiyi save Ku Tianzun come back one after another. , not to mention Zhang Zhaonu."

Xiao Li opened his eyes and stared at the roof of the carriage, "At the beginning Zhang Zhaonu mentioned this matter to me, thinking that after Murong Xuanyin and Taiyi rescued Ku Tianzun, the vitality of the three major sects in Jiangdu, especially Jianzong , and only half of his life is left, as the saying goes, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, we must not give them the time to recover, it is better to take a risk, even if he fails, he is [-]% sure to escape safely."

Zhang Zhu calmly said: "After the battle of Dingding, most of the masters of the three major sects in Jiangdu lost more than half of them. His cultivation might not be top-notch, but those intricate relationships on his body would give Qiu Ye a headache. Zhang Zhaonu went there rashly, wanting to convince others with his strength, even without Xu Beiyou and Murong Xuanyin. If Changle Pavilion takes action, it will also attract other people to intervene."

Xiao Li smiled heavily, "It's too late to say anything now."

Zhang Zhu said suddenly: "Your Highness, King Qi has already left."

Xiao Li sneered and said: "It seems that Xiao Bai will rush to the imperial capital before her sister's engagement. It's really a brother-sister relationship. If it wasn't for Qi Yang's big wedding, he might have to wait until the end of the new year to arrive in the imperial capital, and then let us feudal The king treats him with the courtesy of a courtier, and directly determines the status of a monarch and minister."

If the relationship between Xiao Li and Mutang is just a show, then the relationship between him and Xiao Bai is a real conflict of interests.

Zhang Zhu didn't make a sound.

Xiao Li rubbed his forehead and lowered his voice, "You have to act well, Mutangzhi should have suffered a lot, but now it's me, so according to the next routine, you should stay behind closed doors. Go back home."

At the inn, after Mu Tangzhi sent the two seriously injured guards away, he went to the compartment on the second floor with Xu Beiyou.

Xiao Zhinan who had been waiting here stood up to greet him, "I met Brother Mu Wang."

Mu Tang said with a smile: "I said why did Xu Xiandi appear here, it turned out that he was accompanied by a beautiful woman."

Xiao Zhinan smiled generously.

After taking their seats, Mu Tangzhi said: "The last time I met the two of you was at my house, and two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the scene at that time is still as if it was yesterday."

Xiao Zhinan said with a smile: "The last time I went to the Northeast, I would like to thank Brother Mu for his hospitality. This time when Brother Wang comes to the imperial capital, I want my younger sister to be a landlord."

Mu Tangzhi took a look at Xu Beiyou, and joked, "I've accepted it, but a gentleman is the beauty of an adult, sister Qi Yang should spend more time with Xu Xiandi."

Xiao Zhinan, who was usually calm and calm, blushed slightly, and lowered his head.

Xu Beiyou coughed lightly, and helped her out, "Why did Your Highness have a dispute with King Yan?"

Mu Tangzhi smiled lightly and said: "It is said that Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, and people fight for breath. Xiao Li and I are unwilling to give in to each other, and neither is willing to give in. Naturally, such a situation has arisen. In the final analysis, it is just a dispute between emotions. That's all. Brother Xu Xian, aren't you the same? I just entered the city not long ago, but I heard about your work in Qiutai."

Xu Beiyou laughed it off.

Mu Tangzhi smiled lightly and said: "The last time we parted, I told Nan Gui that knowing Nan's real identity was actually the current Princess Qiyang, and I asked Nan Gui if he wanted to embrace a beautiful woman, and Nan Gui answered me that Tianjia Noble girl, don't dare to ask extravagantly, but now you two are close to a good thing, but it's hard for me to hide it from you."

In fact, Mutang's heart is also quite sad. He knew that the world is impermanent and changeable, but he didn't expect it to be so unexpected. After Gongsun Zhongmou's death, he thought Xu Beiyou, a young man, would drown in the depths. In the bottomless rivers and lakes, he did not expect that he not only survived the rivers and lakes, but also grew into a river-turning dragon.

Mu Tangzhi took a look at Xu Beiyou, who had made him unable to see clearly. Although he was not sure where Xu Beiyou would go in the end, but for now, he, who was about to become the emperor's son-in-law, had picked up Gongsun Zhongmou and left him behind. What's more, behind him is an old Han Ge who can control the situation in the temple. If he can make friends with Han Xuan through Xu Beiyou's line, it will be difficult for him, a king with a different surname, who is in an increasingly difficult situation. That said, it was undoubtedly a great surprise.

Now it seems that this matter has a lot to do.

Xu Beiyou smiled and said: "At the beginning, Mister had not been reinstated as the second assistant of the court, the family was wrong, the household was wrong, so naturally he didn't dare to ask extravagantly. Besides, I was a nobody at that time, poor and poor, and couldn't even pay the dowry. How dare you think about marrying Zhinan and let her suffer hardships with me?"

Xiao Zhinan tried to fight, "Could it be that I'm the kind of woman who dislikes the poor and loves the rich?"

Xu Beiyou hastened to make amends, "I didn't mean that, I meant that even if you were willing to endure hardships with me, I couldn't bear it. You always have to pretend to be a human being outside, or if you're not ashamed to come to ask for marriage, your majesty and empress won't." will approve."

Mutangzhi took the opportunity to make a fuss and suggested that Xu Beiyou should punish himself with three cups.

Xu Beiyou didn't hesitate, he simply filled the three wine glasses neatly and drank them all in one gulp.

After having the wine, the atmosphere on the table became lively. Mu Tangzhi intended to make friends, and Xu Beiyou was also happy to continue the incense bond with the Master of the Liao King. Between needles and threads, a meal can be regarded as a happy meal.

After Mu Tangzhi bid farewell and left, Xiao Zhinan said softly: "This time I acted impulsively."

Xu Beiyou said calmly, "Yes."

"It's also because I was wrong. Life is like a play. After all, I underestimated this brother Wang and that uncle Wang."

"However, there are gains and losses. Zhang Zhaonu's body is still in Jiangdu. It is destined to be difficult to reconcile between King Yan and me. It is better to take advantage of this matter to make friends with King Liao."
