Let's fight, white lotus

The distance from Hanyang to the imperial city is not too short, but because of Yuanyu's effect, the speed of the carriage is fast, and it is smooth and quiet.

On the third day, they saw the tall gate of the imperial city.

Because of the crown prince's crown ceremony, the inspection of the imperial city is very strict, and the guards at the gate of the city are even more strict.Naturally, the Yi family and the Lian family didn't need to worry about Mingyou. After checking the crystal and gorgeous spirit stone, Mingyou registered to enter the city in the name of a master.

Politely rejected Yi Hong and Lian Simin's invitation, Mingyou took Bai Guo and followed the leading officials to the guest house, but felt a sharp wind blowing towards him in a trance, and even felt a knife-like pain on the right cheek. pain.

Mingyou stopped and stretched his right hand obliquely, just in time to catch the falling spirit stone.

Bai Guo's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the rip on the young master's skirt, it was neat and smooth, as if he had cut the web of the clothes and the spirit stone with a master knife, allowing the spirit stone to fall out without hurting anyone. The young master has a trace of skin.

Bai Guo looked around in panic, and Ming You looked up at the middle-aged man sitting on the second floor of the teahouse on his right.

This is also a guru.From the description, it should be the master of the beautiful princess.His speed was very fast. Although Mingyou sensed it after the shot, his body couldn't keep up with the reaction, so he cut the skirt of his clothes.

The middle-aged man smiled disdainfully, and didn't even give Mingyou a look.Mingyou also smiled, stayed for a while and said a few words to the officials leading the way, then continued walking with Baiguo.

Yan Ming put down the teacup in his hand, he was just a yellow-haired child, he was scared out of his nerve by this temptation, he didn't even dare to ask, how could he compare with his beloved apprentice.

Standing up contentedly, just when he was about to take a step, his feet suddenly loosened, and he fell from the second floor to the first floor with the floor under his feet.

The loud bang caused the crowd to quickly disperse and then gather again. Yan Ming was lying on the ground in a panic. He had never been pointed at by others like now, and he felt completely ashamed and angry.It's just that the severe pain in his body made him unable to leave quickly, and he couldn't even get up.

The shopkeeper of the teahouse directed Xiao Er to disperse the crowd, and was dumbfounded seeing this scene.For the sake of elegance, the tea house is built like a bamboo building, and the floor between the second floors is made of tough bamboo joints.

The original boss spent a lot of money to hire a master to design and build it. It has been safe for more than ten years. Why did something happen at this time? The accident happened to the new owner who just bought the teahouse. This person is not easy to talk to.

He hurriedly stepped forward to help Yan Ming up, and kept saying, "Hey, boss, be careful, what's wrong with you?" He turned around and scolded the waiter next to him, "Hurry up and invite Dr. Li from Renxintang, Nothing that winks at all!"

"Boss, don't worry, Dr. Li is the best wounded doctor in the imperial city besides the imperial doctor. If you feel uncomfortable, just ask and come to your side."

"Okay, okay you..." Yan Ming trembled angrily.

Most of his body hung on the shopkeeper, he staggered two steps, kicked the floor that fell with him in anger, restrained his temper and said, "Please invite all the guests out! Thank you today!"

Glancing at the floor that was kicked in front of him, he was even more angry, because this is not the mousse but the imperial city of Lihu country, he could only endure it. Round, just big enough for one person to stand on.

At this time, Mingyou was walking leisurely along the road with the officials sent by the Guest House to welcome the Grand Master.

"So the teahouse just now was bought by Princess Mu Si and his party a few days ago?"

The official is also interesting.Mingming talked enthusiastically and smiled flatteringly along the way, but when he saw Mingyou's spirit stone falling, he turned a blind eye to it, neither frightened nor frightened, but when Mingyou looked at Yan Ming, he unintentionally mentioned that the master of Namousse is so great The style of the teahouse has changed owners just a few days after arriving.

"That's right, Princess Qiaomei is beautiful and kind, and she praised our guest house for being quiet and peaceful. Grandmaster Yan Ming couldn't bear to be restrained, so the princess bought the teahouse at a huge price, leaving the second floor vacant for Grandmaster Yan Ming to drink tea for entertainment. "

"I guess if you want to go to the guest house, you must pass by that teahouse?"

"Young Master Li is smart."

"It seems that I will soon be able to meet that beautiful Princess Qiao Mei?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they didn't hear the noise behind them.

The guest house in Lihu is not luxuriously built, but clean and tidy.Mingyou randomly chose a small courtyard to live in, and just as Bai Guo finished packing up, she heard someone outside announce that Princess Qiao Mei was coming to visit.

"No see." Mingyou didn't want to play tricks with a woman.

There will be guards outside the yard of every resident in the Guest House. After all, most of the time here are foreign guests, so how can there be no one to "protect".

Hearing Mingyou said no, it was impossible for Qiao Mei to rush in front of these people, after all, she was the "beautiful and kind" Princess Mousse.

It's pity for a beauty to cry, but it's a pity that no one dares to trespass on a grandmaster's courtyard in the absence of Yan Ming.

Seeing things can't be done, Qiao Mei can only leave first.

Back in his yard, he went to see Yan Ming who was recovering from his injuries.

After Yan Ming fell down, he didn't go to the medical clinic, and asked the shopkeeper to call a carriage and went back directly to the Yingbin Building, which was faster than Mingyou and his party who had walked all the way.The second floor of the tea house is not high at all, and Yan Ming said it was more about recuperating than being ashamed to see people.

"Master, are you better? This is the purple jade ointment my father gave me before leaving. It is the most effective for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Master uses it, and within three days it will be cured."

"Well, let it go. I was too careless this time. I didn't expect a yellow-haired boy to be so treacherous."

"Master, Mei'er knows that you are doing it for my own good. But this is Lihu Kingdom after all. I'm afraid that Master will get into trouble because of me. Just now I went to meet the new Grandmaster. It may have been a tiring journey, so I haven't seen it yet." Qiao Mei carefully observed Yan Ming's face, and then said: "If I can meet him, Meier will definitely explain this misunderstanding clearly, and I won't let Master be troubled by me." After speaking, there were already tears Filled with eyelashes.

Yan Ming became even more angry when he saw it, "It's just a child with a yellow mouth, how dare to be so bold and arrogant, don't worry, disciple, Master will definitely vent all his anger on you."

"Master, don't be impulsive. Then Li Mingyou is the youngest grandmaster in hundreds of years. The emperor of Lihu Kingdom is tough to protect his weaknesses, and he will definitely protect him. At that time, we will be less powerful, and we will fall into a passive position instead."

"Oh, back protection? Then let him have no way to back up. Even the emperor of a country can't intervene forcibly in the gambling between the masters. Just take this opportunity to let him show his original shape and see what kind of face and strength he has. You are fighting for the position of the crown princess."

"Master..." Qiao Mei blushed coquettishly.

"Haha, I'm still shy, okay, master will stop talking!"

-------

"What? Yan Ming wants to bet on stones with me?"

"Yes, son, all the posts have been sent out."

Mingyou took the post from Bai Guo's hand, the exquisite cover still carried a faint fragrance, and when he opened it, it was a beautiful small script with hairpin flowers.

"Wuhua Tianbao, the stars are shining, and they are taken by virtue. I would like to take advantage of the auspicious day to meet with you. I heard that you are wild and free, and I often like to gamble and fight. If you are not talented, invite friends for two or three, and have fun with you. Junsu Yada, only Looking forward to stepping forward and yielding, I am very happy."

The time and place are clearly written on the back, and the signature is strict, but the invitation should be written by Princess Qiao Mei.

Although the words seemed respectful, the meaning of betting on stones was obvious, and this post was not only sent to Mingyou, Bai Guo found out that the masters and famous nobles who had already arrived in the imperial city had received the post.

This is the first step to confirm the stone betting matter, so that Mingyou has no chance to refuse.

Oh, An Ran smiled at Mimi, why do people always treat him like a persimmon?

Three days later, it was still the same tea house, with several screens cleverly separating the space.There are tools for interpreting stones in one corner, and the two tables in the east are full of people.In the remaining corners are a dozen rough stones.

Seeing Mingyou coming in, Yan Ming didn't put on an air of superiority this time, but restrained his smile, frowned slightly and nodded.

"Mingyou is a talented young man with extraordinary talent, so it is inevitable that he will be young and energetic. This time betting on stones is also an exchange of ideas. I hope he can make more progress."

Yan Ming's voice was not too loud, just enough to be heard by Ming You who came over.

"Then please correct Mr. Yan a lot."

The young man has a bright smile and clear eyes. In the eyes of these discerning people, his words and deeds are much more generous than Yan Ming who pretends to be a kind elder.

Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, stroked the luxurious brocade robe on his body again, tidied up his beautiful beard without any mess, and then walked out slowly.

Qiao Mei was dressed in full dress, the lavender dress was bright and charming, and her long hair was not decorated with precious gold hairpins and silver ornaments, but decorated with pearls of all sizes, which was even more refreshing.

Although the veil covered her face, she had a graceful figure and elegant posture, which attracted people's eyes and couldn't help but look at her.

Qiao Mei obediently followed behind Yan Ming, not talking too much.After seeing Mingyou, the implicitly smug look in his eyes changed.

"Well, I will announce the stone betting rules this time." After all the people had arrived, and after some humility, King Qi stood up and said loudly.

"This time is the coming-of-age ceremony of His Highness the Crown Prince. As Princess Mu Si said, don't hurt your temper even though it's a competition. Why don't the two masters ask for advice on this topic and present it on the day of the coronation ceremony? It's an elegant thing haha." King Qi glanced at the beautiful and elegant Qiao Mei beside him, and then said: "The Crown Prince's crowning ceremony is approaching, and the princess has traveled thousands of miles from Musi to Lihu, and now she is so troublesome and laborious to put the two of them together. The contest between the two masters was well arranged, and the princess must be sincere and will surely move His Highness, so I wish the princess all wishes come true!"

Although King Qi has a high status and seniority, he has never participated in government affairs and is relatively simple. His mind is on eating, drinking and having fun.The emperor likes this kind of clan the most, and Lin Xianghong also pampers this elder who is younger but older. With the tacit understanding of all aspects, King Qi's kindness but mediocrity and incompetence spread farther and farther.
