"what?!"

Shangguan Liuyun was surprised and said: "You said the princess can absorb souls?"

The emperor nodded heavily, and said, "Yes, although I have no evidence to prove it, I am sure."

Shangguan Liuyun's face was full of shock: "However, the soul-hunting technique is just a legend in the world. No one has actually used it for a hundred years, and the princess doesn't know martial arts. How could it be... Your Majesty, what happened? "

The emperor said: "Yesterday, the princess asked me to reward her with the Uzi sword. I was thinking about it. She is a girl, and she has never practiced martial arts, let alone use a sword. What do you want such a magical weapon? The only possibility is to give it to her as a gift. King Yuji. I naturally refused to agree, but for some reason, she... she just looked at me with such... pitiful eyes, and my mind suddenly went blank, and I agreed without knowing it. You said , what is this if it’s not soul-stirring?”

Shangguan Liuyun: "..."

The emperor did not see Shangguan Liuyun's speechlessness, and was still immersed in his worries: "Yang Pianran, how many secrets does she have to hide from me? Fortunately, what she wants this time is only a sword. Is it a jade seal, or an edict to abdicate, then..."

"Your Majesty," Shangguan Liuyun couldn't help interrupting, thinking about the words, "In my humble opinion, that's not soul-stirring."

The emperor was startled, and stood up in surprise: "Really? Why is that?"

Shangguan Liuyun didn't know how to speak.

The emperor asked suspiciously, "Liuyun?"

Shangguan Liuyun gritted his teeth, braced himself, bowed and cupped his fists and said, "I'm afraid the emperor's favorite is... a beauty trick."

"..."

The emperor was speechless for a while, then laughed and said: "I have known you for so many years, and today I know that you are so humorous."

Shangguan Liuyun lowered his eyebrows, but he didn't smile.

The emperor gradually suppressed his smile, and said in a deep voice, "Impossible."

Shangguan Liuyun explained broadly: "Love is a thing that can be controlled by sex. Your Majesty, you and Princess Ji have been in love for many years. It is understandable that you have been sincerely moved..."

"I said, it's impossible." The emperor said indifferently: "To me, she is just a chess piece. Now that this chess piece is disobedient, it becomes an abandoned piece. You say, Zhen will treat an abandoned piece Tempted? It's ridiculous."

Shangguan Liuyun had no choice but to say: "What the emperor said is true."

The emperor looked at a pot of orchids by the window sill with vacant eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "If I really fell in love with her, then she must die even more. An emperor must never have weaknesses, and I must not Let a woman become a stumbling block for me to sit in the country. Grandpa Huang once said that if you want to become a generation of emperors, you must not soften your heart. Those loves and loves will only make people weak."

Shangguan Liuyun felt a chill, lowered his head and dared not answer.

The room suddenly fell silent.

It was as if even the air had stopped flowing.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor suddenly smiled and said, "What's more, how could I be tempted by such a flirtatious woman? Liu Yun, you worry too much."

Shangguan Liuyun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is very right, my humble minister is ignorant, please forgive me."

The emperor smiled faintly, changed the subject and said, "By the way, how is the matter of the Manxiang Pavilion handled?"

Shangguan Liuyun said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, those who should have been withdrawn have already been withdrawn; those that should have disappeared have also disappeared."

Only then did the emperor show a satisfied smile.

Prince Ji's Mansion.

"Can't find anything?" Yang Yingjun raised his head in surprise, and looked at Steward Wang in front of him, "How could it be? Did you investigate carefully? I can guarantee that the dog emperor will never just go to a brothel. "

Yang Meili snorted softly, and choked: "Your Majesty, of course I won't, unlike some people! You are lustful, and you want to spoil others, you are really the black sheep."

Yang Yingjun squinted at Wu Yao who was standing beside him.

Wu Yao immediately lowered his head even lower.

"You don't need to look at others," Yang Meili defended aloud, "If you dare to do it, you must dare to be it."

Yang Yingjun let out a "huh" laugh, and said, "What am I not afraid to do? Yes, I took Wu Yao to the brothel, but we were going to do serious business! Believe it or not."

Yang Meili said angrily: "Come on! I don't understand your virtue? Don't you ever want to borrow Wu Yao again!"

Yang Yingjun curled his lips, ignored her, and turned to look at Wang Steward: "Wang Steward, have you really checked it out?"

Wang Guanjia said: "Go back to your mother, the servant has used all available connections to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of Manxiang Pavilion, but really found nothing. Manxiang Pavilion is just an ordinary brothel."

Yang Yingjun frowned inexplicably: "How could this be..."

Wu Yao said: "Perhaps the emperor had expected that we would investigate, so he destroyed the corpse earlier?"

"Destroy corpses and wipe out traces!?" Yang Meili turned pale with shock, "Emperor... Your Majesty... Did he... kill someone?"

Wu Yao: "..."

Yang Yingjun rolled his huge eyes, and said angrily: "You pighead! What Wu Yao meant was that the emperor was afraid that we would investigate Manxiang Pavilion, so he moved his secret base there earlier."

Yang Meili breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then what is the secret of Oupa?"

Yang Yingjun said depressedly: "Who knows..."

Wang Guanjia said: "Your Majesty, yesterday you asked the servant to find a master of history and martial arts for you. The servant has already been found and is now placed in the side hall. Do you want to see me?"

Yang Yingjun was overjoyed, stood up and said, "Say it earlier! Take me to see them."

Butler Wang hurriedly said, "Let the servants invite them over."

Yang Yingjun said: "Alright. By the way, Steward Wang, can that martial arts master know how to use a sword? I want a sword master."

Yang Meili sneered and said, "Forget it, I'm afraid you can't even hold a sword steadily like you, and learn how to use a sword."

Yang Yingjun was not angry at all, and smiled and said: "Hey, there is no way, the emperor gave me a sword called Uzi yesterday, how can I live up to it..."

"Uzi!?" Wu Yao exclaimed suddenly, looking at Yang Yingjun in shock, "Ma'am, you just said... what is the name of the sword given to you by the emperor?"

Yang Yingjun said proudly, "Uzi, what's the matter? Have you heard?"

Wu Yao excitedly said: "It's more than that! Uzi is the sword used by the first swordsman of Xilan Kingdom 57 years ago. Later, when Emperor Shenzong sent troops to crusade against Xilan Kingdom, he defeated it, and Uzi was used as a trophy. Let Emperor Shenzong bring it back to our Central Plains capital. It has been kept in the imperial treasury for more than 50 years, so I have never had the chance to see it.”

As soon as Yang Meili heard this, she said to Yang Yingjun: "Hey, did you hear that, you? Why don't you hurry up and give that sword to our family Wu Yao? It's a waste to give it to you anyway."

Wu Yao was taken aback, clasped his fists and said, "My lord is so loving, and my subordinates are deeply impressed. However, the Uzi sword is a gift from the emperor to my concubine. I just want to see it, and I will be satisfied."

Yang Yingjun smiled casually: "Wu Yao, as long as you follow me, I will give you everything."

Wu Yao: "..."

Yang Meili spat at him: "Get lost!"

"..." Steward Wang coughed dryly, and said, "My lord, my lord, do you want to invite them over now?"

Yang Yingjun said: "Go and call me."

After a while, Steward Wang led a white-haired old man and a middle-aged man over to say hello.The old man was wearing a coarse cloth shirt and holding a book in his hand. Although his face was wrinkled, his eyes were piercing.And the middle-aged strong man had dark skin, a full beard, and a big knife on his waist.

"Grassman Qu Xiangxue (Guan Zhongyi), kowtow to the prince and concubine."

Yang Yingjun said kindly: "Get up quickly."

"Thank you, princess."

Yang Yingjun looked at the white-haired old man and said, "Teacher Qu, you seem to be full of knowledge and talents, right?"

Qu Xiangxue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm overwhelmed."

"Do you know the history of all dynasties, including ours?"

"Know a thing or two."

Knowing that the ancients spoke more modestly and reservedly, Yang Yingjun didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he looked Guan Zhongyi up and down, his eyes fixed on the saber at his waist, and said disappointedly, "Teacher Guan uses a saber?"

Guan Zhongyi clasped his fists and said, "Yes."

Yang Yingjun sighed and said sadly, "But I want to learn sword."

Guan Zhongyi said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, although the grass people are accustomed to using knives, they also know a thing or two about swordsmanship."

Yang Yingjun suddenly glanced at Wu Yao.

Wu Yao got the signal, drew out the sword at his waist, and stabbed at Guan Zhongyi.Although Guan Zhongyi was taken aback, he still reacted quickly and drew his sword to deal with it.The two fought in the hall for hundreds of rounds. In the end, Wu Yao hit east and west with a single blow, forcing Guan Zhongyi to show his weakness and win by a small margin.

Yang Yingjun shouted "Okay", stood up and applauded happily, signaling Wu Yao to back down.

Guan Zhongyi smiled instead of anger, and looked at Wu Yao with admiration: "As expected of being the number one master in my dynasty, the reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Yang Meili asked in surprise, "Do you know who he is?"

Guan Zhongyi said: "Your Majesty's number one general, Wu Yao, who in the world doesn't know?"

Yang Meili puffed out her chest proudly, as if she was being praised.

Wu Yao said: "Kuai Dao Guan Zhongyi, seeing him today, it's not a vain name, I admire it."

Guan Zhongyi smiled.

Yang Yingjun said, "Hey, you two know each other?"

Wu Yao said: "Although I don't know each other, the name of Kuaidao Guan Zhongyi has been heard in Jianghu for a long time."

Yang Yingjun's eyes lit up, he patted Guan Zhongyi's arm and said, "So you are so famous, you were really disrespectful just now. You will be my martial arts teacher from now on, please give me your advice."

Guan Zhongyi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed his head and cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, you are serious, Caomin must do his best."

"Ah, that's right," Yang Yingjun looked back at Yang Meili, who was very happy eating melon seeds, and said, "How about the prince also learn together?"

Yang Meili sprayed out the melon seeds with a "poof".

Guan Zhongyi said: "Your Majesty is joking, who doesn't know that His Royal Highness Ji Wang's Tianshan boxing is unmatched in the martial arts world, so how can we need the axe from the grassroots class?"

"Tianshan boxing?" Yang Yingjun squinted, and Yang Meili blinked blankly.

Steward Wang suddenly said: "Madam, did you send Mr. Du to see you?"

Yang Yingjun was taken aback: "Huh?"

"Mr. Du is waiting in the side hall. He said he was summoned by the empress."

Thinking of Du Han, Yang Yingjun had a headache: "I didn't say I saw him."

Wu Yao's face was darkened: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask your subordinates to send him away?"

Yang Meili asked curiously, "What's going on? Who is that Mr. Du?"

Steward Wang said: "My lord, have you forgotten? Mr. Du is Du Han, a distant relative of the servant, and now he is working as an accountant in the house, and you are the lord who agreed."

"Mr. accountant, what's the big deal? Why do you Wangfei and Wu Yao look so strange?"

Wu Yao hesitated to speak.

Yang Yingjun winked at him and said, "It's nothing. That's fine. Speaking of which, I have to go out to inspect the major commercial houses today. Teacher Guan, I happen to be short of a guard by my side. I don't know if Teacher Guan is willing..."

Guan Zhongyi clasped his fists and said, "I would like to do the work of a dog and a horse for your empress."

Yang Yingjun smiled in satisfaction, and said, "Great. Then let's go to the side hall to meet Mr. Du. As for you, my lord..."

Yang Meili raised her eyebrows and said, "What about me?"

Yang Yingjun looked at Qu Xiangxue, and said, "Teacher Qu, please tell the prince about the history of our dynasty, and let him understand the current situation in the world, and learn about the national conditions of other countries and foreign countries, so that he will not forget to live in the palace. I am the Grand Marshal of the world's soldiers and horses."

When she heard that she was going to study, Yang Meili protested subconsciously: "I don't..."

Qu Xiangxue said with a serious look: "Yes."

Yang Meili: "..."
