What should I do if my junior brother becomes a bad old man?

Guichen Immortal Sutra has been seen widely, no matter what he hears, he is not surprised, but only shows great interest:

"It's really a coincidence. You two didn't have any conflicts at the time, did you?"

Ren Sha shook her head:

"There was no conflict, and I didn't say anything. I just saw him from a distance. At that time, he probably hadn't become an elder, and his clothes didn't have the unique tattoos of the elders of the fox clan. With seven or eight servants by my side, no matter where I go, it will cause discussions, and it will be difficult for people not to pay attention."

"So he doesn't know you?"

"It should be that they don't know each other."

"That's good." Immortal Guichen nodded, "If he recognizes you, he will inevitably have to be wary. Now we are just Xiaoyu's friends, waiting here to watch the ceremony, and no one can say anything."

Gu Xunzhi heard the two of them say this, and went to reach for the paper with some curiosity:

"Based on what you guys said, this Bai Ruxie is someone with some background, what exactly does he do?"

Ren Zhen reached out and handed him the list, saying:

"Hey, it's all written on it. He is the younger brother of the concubine and the uncle of the current king of Qingqiu. He was originally born in an ordinary family, but his nephew has become the king. It's no wonder that he wants to play a big role."

Gu Xunzhi looked at the list carefully, and asked:

"I think the eight elders above all have some achievements, but this Bai Ruxie's resume is mediocre. I heard that the position of elder in Qingqiu country is not appointed by the king, but elected by all clans, and the capable ones are selected. This Why did Bai Ruxie choose the elder?"

The Immortal Guichen smiled and said:

"I was also curious when I saw it, so I asked someone to inquire about it before. I heard that when the king just came to the throne, he was young and weak, and there were no trustworthy close ministers around him. The government was almost entirely controlled by the concubine. At that time An elder passed away. In order to curry favor with the concubine, the White Fox Clan tried their best to push Bai Ruxie to take the position. It happened that there was no suitable candidate for the Green Fox, and the Red Fox and the Yellow Fox did not dare to compete with him, so they really let him go. bit."

"So, it's a clown-like figure?"

Guichen Immortal shook his head:

"Not necessarily. If this Bai Ruxie really doesn't have any ability at all, the king doesn't need to be afraid of him. It's really interesting to talk about the Qingqiu king's family. The king was born in a white fox, but he is not at all like his mother's family. Intimacy, no matter how you say it, Bai Ruxie is the lord's uncle. He is connected with the lord's blood, so he is closer than those blue fox dignitaries who can't beat him. But the lord doesn't regard him as a relative , the first thing that happened was that he was playing tricks in the dark."

Gu Xunzhi has been in the palace for a long time, and he is very familiar with the complicated relationship between the royal family and relatives, so he said:

"Although the lord is a white fox, his surname is Qing after all. No matter how close his family is, he is still a kinsman. Use it when it is useful, but it is another matter if they want to get involved in the royal power. The lord will never Allowed."

Guichen Immortal smacked his lips:

"Ordinary fox monsters grow up in the mountains, and they often don't even know who their parents are. At the age of transformation, they can choose a name for themselves and walk in the world. How free and easy. It's ridiculous that these fox monsters in Qingqiu, It’s fine to build a country just like a mortal, but it’s unimaginable to learn how people have surnames, divide into factions and fight each other, and make a mess.”

The Immortal Guichen is a person from outside Fang, so he doesn't understand these things at all, Gu Xunzhi smiled and said:

"Master, since the country has been established, we can't act according to the original situation in the countryside. Now that the Qingqiu Fox Clan has established a country, it is natural to divide the surnames. If there is no cohesion of the clan, the Qingqiu country may not be the same The other demon kingdoms have also been destroyed long ago."

Guichen Immortal obviously disagreed, shaking his head again and again:

"Even if you're right, it seems strange that their method of inheriting their surnames has all been learned from mortals. Take this king as an example. He is clearly a white fox. He should have a surname of Bai, but he chooses his surname Qing. I really don't understand why the closer White Fox Clan should regard it as a threat, but make the cheap younger brother who was born by half-mother the crown prince and raise him carefully."

Gu Xunzhi saw that Guichen Immortal said something strange, and laughed again unconsciously:

"Master was joking. If his surname is Bai, the throne will not belong to him."

Guichen Immortal spread his hands:

"Look, this brings me back to the surname, so I said, what kind of surname these foxes use is purely to make trouble for themselves. If you want me to say, even if it is a mortal, it is meaningless to do these things, but it is for nothing. It’s a trick, maybe one day in the future it will be completely eradicated. Today we are wrapped up in this mess and messing around with them, and we don’t know which day in the future we will think it is absurd and ridiculous.”

Ren Sha, who had been silent just now, heard this and asked him:

"Don't you regret it?"

The Immortal Guichen smiled:

"You guys know that I love excitement the most. If the excitement in Qingqiu country can't keep up this time, I will really regret it. Besides, even if their internal struggles in Qingqiu country are not interesting, the ghosts are always true. Things in the future will be hard to come by." To be sure, it’s better to prepare early.”

The master and apprentice chatted for a while, and a little attendant came to serve dinner.The Qingqiu fox family is good at cooking, and the food in the palace is even more unusual, very delicate and meticulous.Immortal Guichen praised the delicacy of the food, but Gu Xunzhi lacked interest, and began to miss the dim sum stalls outside the palace when he lived in the capital.

After a few people finished their dinner, Guichen Immortal said that he was tired and went back to his bedroom to rest.Ren Zhen realized that Gu Xunzhi was out of his mind, and nudged him lightly with his elbow:

"What's wrong with you?"

Gu Xunzhi turned to look at him:

"I'm just thinking, when everything is settled in the future, can Senior Brother accompany me back to the capital for a while?"

Unlike Gu Xunzhi, Ren Xun has never had a good impression of the capital.But he didn't directly refuse, just asked:

"Why did you say this suddenly? Is it because the events in the Qingqiu Palace reminded you of the past? Are you still nostalgic for those events in the past?"

Gu Xunzhi shook his head:

"There are nostalgic places, and there are parts that I can't look back on. Anyway, that's where I've lived the longest. Every once in a while, the mortal part of me is just around the corner, making me miss those days, no matter what I can’t let go. After hearing this, I’m afraid that I’m too weak, and my mortal temperament is too heavy. But after all, I’m just such a mortal, even if half of my body has become a monster, I will always have this mentality. It cannot be changed. You said before that you will live in seclusion with me in this Qingqiu country in the future. This is of course very good, but if we can live together in the capital for a while... that would be even better."

Gu Xunzhi looked a little pitiful, when Ren Xun saw him, she couldn't help but lowered her head to kiss him, and lovingly stroked his hair.Ren Zhen knew that Gu Xunzhi, whom he loved, was like this. He accepted all the mortal and other parts of Gu Xunzhi, even the weakest parts that belonged to mortals. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, his original body is so huge that it can accommodate everything, and of course it can accommodate Gu Xunzhi's little weakness and uneasiness.

But he didn't say anything to Gu Xunzhi, and Ren Xiao didn't like to explain too much by nature. What the two of them said when they were alone before was already his limit, so he just hugged Gu Xunzhi in his arms:

"With you, we can go anywhere."

Although the palace had prepared separate rooms for the two, the two of them stayed together that night.They were used to living together, and it was always inconvenient if someone was missing.The next morning, the servants in the palace came to clean the room and saw that Ren Sha's room was not moving at all, so they couldn't help exchanging a subtle look.However, the attendants in the palace were well-trained after all, so they didn't say anything.

On this day, Ren Xun still went to the library to inquire about information, while Gu Xunzhi and Immortal Guichen stayed in the residence and asked the attendants about the elders.Although the attendants serving here cannot get close to the center of power, they still know some anecdotes, and they talked about it in a hurry, but they also learned a lot of rumors.During this time, Prince Qing also came over like this, but he said that he sneaked out of the palace before and left too much homework, so he went back after not staying for long.

In the afternoon, Ren Xun also came back from the library, and after a while, the lord sent an attendant to invite him, saying that he had invited nine elders, and asked them to go there together and meet in the banquet hall.This matter had been arranged the day before, and everyone went there immediately when they got the news, only to see that six of the nine elders had arrived, and some of them had already met when they first arrived in Qingqiu country the day before yesterday, but they did not report their names.Everyone has already seen the resumes of these elders, and at this time, the leader of the country personally introduced them one by one. Although there are a large number of people, it is easy to remember them clearly.

When the lord introduced these elders for them, two more people arrived.These two elders were from the Red Fox Clan and the Yellow Fox Clan. Their status was lower and their residence was farther away from the palace. It was understandable for them to be late at this time.The two confessed their crimes to the lord, reported their names without waiting for a recommendation, and then sat down together.

At this time, eight of the nine elders have arrived, only Bai Ruxie has not arrived.The lord's complexion began to look a little ugly, the third elder Bai Yufeng saw this, and quickly smiled and said:

"The Ninth Elder is young, and he always pays special attention to the clothes he wears. This time, he must choose the most solemn dress to welcome the distant guests. It is understandable that he arrived late. In short, so many of us have When we arrive, we will not miss him alone. If the king thinks he is late, why not let us hold the meeting here, and when he arrives, punish him for drinking."

This third elder, Bai Yufeng, is the oldest among the several elders of the White Fox Clan here, and he was originally a highly respected elder.Moreover, when the country's lord came to the throne, he also contributed a lot.Seeing him interceding for Bai Ruxie, the sovereign's expression softened:

"In this case, then according to what the third elder said, let's have the right to hold the banquet."

As soon as the king's voice fell, a servant came over to announce that the Ninth Elder had arrived.After receiving the notification, all the people looked towards the door, only to see a person with silver hair wandering towards the door from a distance, wearing a snow-white dress embroidered with gold thread, extremely luxurious and dazzling.His face was extremely young, but his expression looked lazy and sleepy, and his pair of slender phoenix eyes blinked a few times, as if he was too sleepy to hold on.If you look carefully, his appearance is somewhat similar to the king's, but the impression they give people is completely different. The king is as cold and stern as jade and steel, but he is like a begonia sleeping in spring.

This person was really arrogant, he didn't look at others when he arrived, he just confessed to the lord that he had insomnia the night before and didn't sleep well, and he just woke up after the entourage sent by the lord arrived.The country lord looked at the three elders, so he didn't pursue the matter, only said:

"The banquet this time is to entertain guests from afar. You are late now, so you should apologize to the guests."

Bai Ruxie got the order of the lord, so she slowly turned around and looked at the side of Guichen Immortal, as if she was about to say a few polite words without distraction, but just as he raised his eyes, he saw Ren Xun Sitting next to the Guichen Immortal.

Bai Ruxie's expression suddenly changed:

"This, this... aren't you Ren Sha? How did you come here?"

The author has something to say: see you next week.
