The most powerful minister in the world

Li Dongyang pestered Jing Xi for a full hour, but he didn't let go.

"I'm really scared of you. Okay, I'll give you a chance. I want you to do something for me. If you can do it, you can stay with me."

Upon hearing this, Li Dongyang raised his head and moved his lips twitching. Looking at Jing Xi with a pair of pious eyes, he felt a little nauseated.

"Second Young Master, please tell me, whether it's murder or something else, I can do it for you as long as you say a word."

Jingxi chuckled and said, "Did you see someone playing with a sword in the yard next door when you came here?"

"I've seen you, an old man in his fifties, his level is not low."

"Yes, yes, you go and fight him. If you win, I will accept you."

Li Dongyang chirped and said, "Wouldn't it be better for me to bully an old man?"

"Forget it if you don't go, please come back."

When Li Dongyang heard this, he patted his butt and stood up and said, "I'll go!"

Seeing Li Dongyang drawing out his sword with great vigor, Jingxi laughed loudly. He originally wanted to go see the excitement, but Xiaobai flew to his shoulder with a note in his mouth.

Jingxi touched its head and took down the note, only to see the beautiful thin gold characters on the rice paper: Arrive at the hospital after dark!

"Oh~ What on earth do you want to do?"

This note was written by Liu Ningmei. Ever since Mu Jinyi moved in, she had to take Xiaobai with her wherever she went, so she flew back from the Liu family compound.

"Lian'er~ Prepare hot water for me, the young master needs to take a bath~"

Jingxi shouted in the yard, and heard the clear echo of the curtain in his ears. He went back to his room and put the Lingxu Sword in the sword box next to the Qiu Shuang Sword.

These are his two favorite swords. Needless to say, the Lingxu Sword. As for the Qiu Shuang Sword, it is even worse than the Lingxu Sword.

Its shape is a bit like a Tang sword but not a sword. The sword body is also shorter than the Lingxu sword, and the hilt is also half-curved. It is this peerless sword that looks like a sword but is not a sword, and is like a sword but not like a sword. It is the swan song of Mo Shan, the best swordsmith in the world.

At that time, when he returned to the capital, he only boasted about this sword when he entered the city, and used it the most on the battlefield. The elegant Lingxu sword was not suitable for decisive battlefields.

The sky gradually darkened. Jingxi put on a gorgeous black placket and a sleeveless waistcoat robe, and walked to the yard. Lan Tianying walked in with a sword in his hand and said: "Master, have you seen a man?" Jiu Mengzi enters the hospital?"

"Huh? What kind of Jiu Mengzi dares to enter our house? I will break his legs!"

Lan Tianying made a gesture with his hands: "He wears such a big wine gourd on his waist, wears a green shirt, talks crazy, and attacks me when he comes up, saying why he doesn't bully old people."

"Mom, I got really angry when I heard that. I fought him off. Then I got so angry that I chased him for three yards and lost him!"

Looking at Lan Tianying's slightly blushing face, Jing Xi's mouth twitched. Has an eighth-grade swordsman who combines the martial arts of two sects beaten Lan Tianying?

What state is he in?

"Ahem, Mr. Lan, you'd better rest. There's no need to argue with people who drink fake wine. Well, I'm going to the Liu Family Courtyard soon. Do you want to go back and have a look too?"

Lan Tianying put the sword back into its scabbard: "No need, I am a member of the Young Master's house now. If the Young Master insists on letting me go, I will go."

"Haha, that's not necessary, I'll go then."

Lan Tianying stepped out of the way and said calmly: "Master, please."

Jingxi raised his right arm slightly and clasped it in his hand as he passed by him, then turned back and said, "There's really no need to argue with a fool. He won't dare to come here after being beaten."

"Hmph~ You didn't hear what he owes you the most. I have never been so angry in all my years. His swordsmanship is the essence of Emei swordsmanship. Why does he have a broken mouth?!"

Jingxi winced and coughed twice, "Is it really that bad?"

Seeing Lan Tianying gnashing his teeth, Jingxi raised his eyes and turned around to sneak away.

After dark, Jingxi rode his horse to the Liu Family Courtyard. When the boy at the door saw him coming, he quickly came up to lead the horse and said: "Second Young Master, my lady is waiting for you at Wangyue Tower. Let the boy at the door take you in." Bar."

Jingxi patted the dust on his narrow sleeves and looked up at the woman in a corset robe standing outside the concierge. He raised his eyebrows and walked over with his hands on his chest: "Hey~ are you still responsible for leading the way?"

Honglian didn't answer, just walked on her own. Jingxi followed her with her hands behind her back. Watching her swaying her hips, he couldn't help but click his tongue twice, but in exchange, Honglian's sharp sword was pressed against her throat. .

Jingxi raised his hands to express surrender, but Honglian cut off a few strands of his hair as a warning.

During the Lantern Festival, ordinary people have to decorate their homes, let alone the Liu Family Courtyard, which is the first courtyard in the capital.

Just look at the inner courtyards where dragons dance on the tents, embroidered phoenixes fly on the curtains, gold and silver are shining, jewels are shining, the fragrance of lilies is burned in the cauldron, the stamens of evergreen are placed in the vase, flowers are clustered up and down, and the lights are bright.

The crystal glass lanterns of various colors on the stone railings are lit like silvery snow waves. Although the willow and apricot trees have no flowers or leaves, they are decorated with various silks and satins to decorate the flowers and leaves and stick them to the branches. Each hanging lantern has hundreds of flowers. , the lights in the pool compete for brightness up and down, and the water and sky reflect the colors. The flowers are so beautiful and beautiful that they are extraordinary and unparalleled.

As Jingxi walked along, he couldn't help smacking his tongue when he saw this scene. When he saw Hong Lian who was walking in front turning back with murderous look on his face, he quickly took a step back and explained: "I didn't tsk you. !”

"Brother Jingxi~ We are here~ Do you want to come for a drink~"

Jingxi looked at Wangyue in a pavilion downstairs. Mu Jinyi waved to him with a blushing face, and Liu Ningmei hid her hands in hand warmers and looked at him.

There were many dishes on the stone table, as well as some fine wine, and the entire pavilion was surrounded by lights, which was simply beautiful.

Jingxi walked over and put a roasted chestnut on Mu Jinyi's head: "What a girl, how dare you drink now?!"

Mu Jinyi covered her head, raised her face and said unconvinced: "I am already fourteen years old after the Chinese New Year. Is there anything I can't drink? Besides, it was Sister Mei who asked me to drink it. Why didn't you say Sister Mei!"

Jingxi turned his head to look at Liu Ningmei, only to see Liu Ningmei's charming eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth raised in a charming arc without saying a word.

"Ahem, your sister Mei deliberately seduced you to see if you are a bad person."

"Yo~" Mu Jinyi leaned back with a look like you believe it or not.

Jingxi was about to hit her, but Liu Ningmei yawned and said, "Come and sit, I'll pour you some wine."

Liu Ningmei filled the glass of wine for him lazily, and Jingxi took a sip and looked at it sideways.

"Why do you look a little tired?"

"No~" Liu Ningmei rubbed her hands on Yu's legs through warm hands.

Mu Jinyi secretly pointed at her clothes opposite, and Jingxi suddenly realized that he put down his wine glass and smiled: "Oh my, they say that female fairies will descend to earth during the Lantern Festival. I am lucky enough to see one tonight. If I don't drink this full How can it be done with a full glass of wine?”

Mu Jin held her cheek and continued, "Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

Jingxi put his arms around Liu Ningmei's shoulders and said, "Isn't that right? Your sister Mei is the most beautiful woman in the world. Even Chang'e on the moon had to lower her head and run away in despair when she saw her. .”

Liu Ningmei knew she was going out with Jingxi today, so she deliberately dressed up in half-men's clothing, but this idiot couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Hearing Jingxi's pretentious compliment, he also got goosebumps all over his body. He pouted and said, "I really don't know if you have me in your eyes. I liked this outfit so much when I went to the temple fair that day. I want to do it today." I put it on for you to see, but you turned a blind eye."

Jingxi coughed twice and didn't know what to say, but the little girl spoke up: "Where's Sister Lian'er?"

He quickly replied: "Lian'er knows that my sister also likes to eat glutinous rice balls stuffed with sesame filling, so I cooked them at home and brought them over. They will be here in a minute."

"Didn't you agree to go out to eat? Don't mess up your plans just to take care of me."

Jingxi felt something was wrong. She would never get angry over such a trivial matter. There was definitely something fishy inside, so she tentatively asked, "Sister, did you hear something?"

"No~"

"Oh~! You lied. I saw you biting your lip."

Liu Ningmei pouted and frowned, her eyebrows twitching and humming, and she turned her head to the side.

"Speak out and give me a chance to quibble...er...explain."

"Humph!"

"Good sister, no matter what happens, it's all my fault. Don't let those little things affect you during such a festive season."

Liu Ningmei turned around, hit Jing Xi with the hand warmer and said, "Why did you refuse the opportunity given by Yun Zilang!"

Jingxi was shocked, grabbed her hand and said, "How did you know?!"

"Why, I can't know?"

Jing Xi rarely frowned in front of Liu Ningmei: "Do you want me to participate in the battle for the legitimate son?"

Liu Ningmei withdrew her hand and turned away, tears falling down her cheeks, and she was greeted by another bout of light coughing.

Upon seeing this, Jingxi stood up and handed over the handkerchief, but she slapped it down: "Besides asking you to find a way to cancel the marriage, when have I ever forced you to do anything else?! I just started tonight, and you Show me how shameless I am... I'll never ask anything about you again!"
