That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 86 Her Royal Highness Xiao Zhinan

With Qingling in the middle, Xiao Zhinan also said roughly the same thing to his personal maid, Qiu Guang.

At this time, a maid walked into the main hall with small steps, and said softly: "Master, there is a visitor."

Xiao Zhinan said calmly, "Please."

After a while, an old man strode into the main hall of Qinglingju.

The woman seemed to have expected the arrival of the old man, her expression was as calm as water, and she waved her hand to signal the maids in the hall to step back.

After there were only two people left in the room, the old man said slowly: "Xiao Zhinan, the direct daughter of the Great Qi Emperor Xiao Xuan, the direct granddaughter of the Great Ancestor Emperor Xiao Yu, and the majestic Princess Da Qi, is now ranked sixth in the Xiao family clan. It is inferior to the current emperor, crown prince, king of Wei, eldest princess, and eldest princess. Why do you have to provoke my little apprentice who has never seen anything in the world?"

Xiao Zhinan said calmly: "It is the men of the Xiao family who hold the power in the world, and us women surnamed Xiao, from aunt to aunt, to me, just have a noble status, how can we escape from the cage?"

The old man asked plainly: "Not to mention Xiao Yue and Xiao Yuyi back then, just you, Xiao Zhinan, you hold Peony in your hand, how small is your authority?"

Xiao Zhinan said with a smile: "It's just a few maidservants left by my grandmother back then. My father didn't want to go against my grandmother's wishes, so he turned a blind eye."

The old man chuckled and said, "It seems that Lin Yinping likes you very much."

Lin Yinping said calmly, "Perhaps grandma thinks that I resemble her."

Gongsun Zhongmou said in a deep voice: "When Lin Yinping was still the princess of the grassland court, he chose a worthless Xiao Yu. What happened? Not only did he keep the Lin family's [-]-mile grassland, but he also became Da Qi's. Empress and Empress Dowager. Why, Princess Xiao is trying to imitate her?"

Xiao Zhinan frowned slightly, and said, "Mr. Gongsun's words are heartbreaking."

The old man with a sword box on his back said flatly: "This old man has committed great rebellion, so he naturally speaks out his words."

Xiao Zhinan's expression became serious, he pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Xu Beiyou's morality is still shallow, but Master Xu Beiyou's morality is not shallow. Talking and confronting such an old fox is not as easy as before.

The face of the old man is already very vicissitudes and aging, but as he grows older, he still has a strong heart and a scheming wrist. After careful calculation, the old man once fought against her grandfather Xiao Yu, and also had a rivalry with Xiao Yu who is now living in Xuandu. The real head teacher has fought against each other. In today's world, there are really not many people who can be enemies with these two and still live well.

"There are some things, since Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't want to say, so I can only choose the old man's choice. Let's get straight to the point. What do you want to do?" Gongsun Zhongmou looked at Xiao Zhinan, his tone slow.

"I don't want to do anything, I just think Xu Beiyou is very interesting." Xiao Zhinan said calmly: "Although I took the initiative to get involved in this karma, he was the first to think about it."

Xiao Zhinan hesitated for a moment, and said sincerely: "Mr. Gongsun, no tree can grow under a tree. If you protect Xu Beiyou on his wings like this, how can he be alone? Let him go alone, he will definitely be a master of."

Gongsun Zhongmou's tone was calm and rigid, like an unreasonable Taoist teacher, "I never doubt that my apprentice can be a master, but that is in the future, not now. What he has to do now is to learn , and then take the old man’s accumulated belongings into his hands.”

"Jianzong has been destroyed!" Xiao Zhinan frowned and said in a deep voice.

"For you, maybe that's the case." Gongsun Zhongmou narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "But for this old man, Jianzong is still there."

"You want him to spend his whole life with these illusory words, and just hide his head and show his tail like this?" Xiao Zhinan didn't know why, but he suddenly felt angry.

Gongsun Zhongmou said calmly: "Before Jiazi, Jianzong people never had to hide their heads and show their tails."

Xiao Zhinan slightly accentuated his tone, "But now after Jiazi, no matter what happened before, it's all in the past, and it's not beneficial for the moment."

"What about another Jiazi?" Gongsun Zhongmou's tone was still so tepid, "Since you are optimistic about Xu Beiyou, why don't you think he can really restore the Sword Sect?"

Xiao Zhinan was stunned and speechless.

Gongsun Zhongmou looked at Xiao Zhinan, and said, "Let's just say it straight, the old man didn't mean to make things difficult for you when he came to see you this time, I just hope you wait a little longer, and don't rush to bring Xu Beiyou, who is not good enough, to you In that world, when he should go, he will naturally go, that's all."

Xiao Zhinan was silent for a long time, then nodded.

——Just when Gongsun Zhongmou went to meet Xiao Zhinan in Qinglingju, an unexpected guest came to Qinglianju.

He came to see Xu Beiyou.

In the black corridor of Qinglianju, the two walked side by side.

Among them, the younger man is naturally Xu Beiyou, while the other is the owner of this place, Mu Tangzhi.

Xu Beiyou had a deep memory of this sinister Northeast vassal king. This time he faced His Highness Liao Wang alone, and he felt even more suffocated.

After all, no matter what, Mutangzhi is still a illustrious vassal king guarding a place, and at the same time a great master in the realm of immortals.

Walking through the middle of the black corridor, Mu Tangzhi stopped, looked up at a big red lantern, and said in a warm tone: "Gongsun Shishu is an old man, and he is of the same generation as my father. Traveling north, there are no outsiders here, you and my brothers It is commensurate."

Xu Beiyou hesitated for a moment, then saluted respectfully: "My little brother has met Brother Mu Shi."

Perhaps it was unexpected that Xu Beiyou was not flattered in the slightest, a gloomy look flashed in Mutang's eyes, and the expression on his face became more gentle, "Gongsun Shishu seems to have the intention of retiring recently, after all... When you are older, you should enjoy some happiness, but you can't let go of this huge family business, and someone has to stand up and take it over. In the future, my brother will become the master of this sword sect. Just get closer."

Xu Beiyou paused for a moment, then cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It should be like this, I will ask my elder brother to take care of me in the future."

Mu Tangzhi gave a gentle smile, waved his hands and said with a smile: "There is no need to be polite, if there is any need for Brother Yu's help in the future, you can just ask Brother Yu."

"Thank you in advance, little brother." Xu Beiyou finally showed a touch of flattery that was just right.

Mu Tangzhi's eyes did not miss this point.

If you don't see rabbits, don't scatter eagles?
Mu Tangzhi smiled, this young man was indeed not an ordinary mediocre person to be favored by Gongsun Zhongmou, and he had also explored the details of Xu Beiyou. After all, Xu Beiyou did not have as many complicated backgrounds as Xiao Zhinan, but it was also because of In this way, this made Mu Tangzhi, who was born in a princely family, feel interesting.

It is not easy for a young man who has never seen the world since he was a child to have this kind of concentration, and it is even more difficult.If it was Xiao Zhinan standing in front of Mutang at this time, Mutang would not find it interesting at all if she behaved like this. If that woman made a fuss because of her few words, it would be weird, because she was young. The people and things that I have come into contact with have almost reached the peak that a young man can reach. Once the sea was too difficult for water, it is natural to be unmoved.

But Xu Beiyou was different. He had only been in contact with small people in the market since he was a child. His ability to have such a disposition can only be explained by his nature.

In other words, this is a natural grandeur, which cannot be forced.

The corners of Mutangzhi's mouth turned up slightly, and he said slowly: "My dear brother, have you met the one from Qinglingju?"

Xu Beiyou was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Mu Tangzhi took advantage of the situation and joked: "It's a pity, if it's a woman from an ordinary family, brother Yu will be an unreasonable dandy, and he will grab it back for brother virtuous, but this one is quite different, even brother Yu will also provoke me. Sorry."

Xu Beiyou was surprised and said: "I'm afraid there are not too many women in this world who can make Shixiong say so. Could it be the nobles of the Tian family?"

Mu Tangzhi laughed and said: "Your guess is right, this is the jewel in the palm of the Holy Majesty and the only princess in this dynasty. There are rumors that this princess looks like the empress dowager who has passed away, and she is quite charming. The empress dowager left behind, so she has been pampered and spoiled by His Majesty since she was a child, and she often acts unexpectedly."

Mu Tangzhi suddenly lowered his voice, and said softly: "If Brother Yu is interested, Brother Yu doesn't mind being a matchmaker."

A look of hesitation flashed across Xu Beiyou's eyes, he shook his head and said, "I'm the only one who can think about this noble lady."
