"Don't you need to inform Beixuan Territory?" Yan Wuxue asked in a low voice.

The emperor shook his head, looked at the two men and replied, "Didn't you hear what the Imperial Master said? There is no need to hide this from anyone, except that it cannot be known to the people in Beixuan Territory. Nalan, you sent people there just to supervise the training of troops on a routine basis.

To prevent further chaos in southern Xinjiang, give them an excuse."

"This is a good reason!" Yan Wuxue knew that the emperor was talking about the prince who went to the Northern Territory. Somehow, he suddenly had a hunch that one day something might happen to him and it might be the prince from the Northern Xuan Territory.

"What the emperor said, even if we are training soldiers, we have to find an upright reason. We can't let the two palace masters know more about it at the moment."

After all, what Li Ye explained was just a guess about one day in the future. It could not represent the emperor's current thoughts on Beixuan Territory.

Even if the second prince's people were to know about this matter, the most they could do would be to make them think that the prince was in charge of Beixuan Territory and that the emperor no longer wanted to interfere in the affairs here.

Nalan Yu smiled, looked at the emperor and said with a smile: "Your Majesty and the Imperial Preceptor have thought far ahead about this matter. I will make arrangements soon."

After a long while, the emperor sighed quietly, looked at the eunuch and said: "The queen is with the imperial master. I don't know whether she is still on Fangcun Mountain or has left the Five Realms to find my father."

Yan Wuxue was stunned, looked at him and said: "No one can explain this kind of thing. After all, it is something that can only be met by chance."

The emperor nodded, looked at him and said with a smile: "You can't leave me alone so early and go to find my father and mother."

In the emperor's opinion, the cultivation level of the great eunuch was no lower than that of his father. Presumably, his father was afraid that no one would be able to help him after he left, so he deliberately left Yan Wuxue behind.

But this is only a temporary solution, it won't take long before the old man in front of me will definitely leave.

Yan Wuxue raised his head and glanced at the emperor, and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty should train some of his own people. You can't rely on us old people for everything."

The emperor instantly understood what he meant, looked at him and said with a smile: "I'll leave this matter to you. I can rest assured about the person you are looking for."

When Yan Wuxue heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head. Naturally, he knew that the emperor had no time to find the eunuch beside him. In the end, the matter still fell on him. It was good, at least he could find someone he could trust.

Seeing the serious expressions of the two people, the emperor could not help but snap his fingers gently and said: "I have been bored in the palace these days, and the queen is not happy about it. I will go to Huamanlou to play tomorrow afternoon. The queen is thinking

Your flower shop is here."

When Nalanyu heard this, he smiled and said: "I will go back today to make preparations to ensure that the queen is satisfied."

"My sister is with the Imperial Master, and Mr. Tang is also there. I don't need to worry about anything. While the world is peaceful, we have to go out for a walk when we have time. It's not good to stay in the palace all the time."

Today's emperor understands why the imperial master would rather go to Fangcun Mountain to practice than become emperor.

...

At the Imperial Preceptor's house, Mr. Xiang and his entire family have just returned from Qingcheng.

Ye Zhiqiu was making tea with his husband in the living room, while Li Hongxiu and Li Xiaoxue were practicing swordplay in the garden.

"This kid, Ye'er, doesn't know when he's coming back, and he doesn't even come back with a letter."

Ye Zhiqiu looked at his husband and sighed softly.

The gentleman shook his head and replied quietly: "If he has nothing to do on the mountain, he will naturally not need to write a letter back. Moreover, he also knows that if we come to him for something, he will naturally write a letter or send someone to go."

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, and then said: "Even Xiaoxue has broken through many realms, but I don't know how Ye'er is doing in her practice on the mountain?"

"You don't have to worry about this. Didn't Tang Qiuyu take the princess with him? With these two here, what are you afraid of? Tang Qiuyu is in the middle stage of distraction." The gentleman smiled lightly.

Just as he was talking, the housekeeper walked in with Xu Jingyun and Shangguan Wushuang.

The young lady met her husband and Ye Zhiqiu. She took Ye Zhiqiu and asked, "Has Li Ye written back? It's been another year, right?"

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head, asked the master and apprentice to sit down, and said softly: "I just told my husband about this matter. This child doesn't know how to write a letter back, so that everyone will worry about him."

Xu Jingyun glanced at her husband worriedly and said in a low voice: "I heard that my senior sister and the princess also went to Xixuan Territory. Why did they go to Prajna Temple? Is there any place to practice?"

Ye Zhiqiu laughed: "They went with Empress Dowager Jiang. I don't know the specific details."

"The Queen Mother is also there?" Xu Jingyun was shocked.

The master looked at the master and apprentice and said softly: "Jiang Ruoyu will never come back wherever she goes. The princess and her master went to see her mother off. There is no need for everyone to know about this."

"Could it be that the Empress Dowager is about to ascend?" Xu Jingyun asked again.

"Maybe, who knows?" Even the husband didn't know the situation in front of Jiang Ruoyu. After all, Li Ye didn't write back.

"So that's it." Xu Jingyun glanced at the young lady. "We, master and apprentice, stay in the Royal Academy to practice, and we have no way of understanding what is happening in the Imperial City."

"It is very rare to practice quietly. It would be great if you can calm down and practice." The gentleman poured tea for the two of them and said quietly.

"What's wrong with Wushuang?" Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously: "What state are you in now? Where are you, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Jingyun said with a smile: "Wu Shun is already at the fourth level of Nascent Soul. I am working so hard to reach the third level of distraction."

"Wushuang is not bad." Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "With the help of Mr. Ye'er, Master and I have only broken through to the sixth level of Nascent Soul. I don't know in which year or month we will be able to practice to the level of Mr. Xu.

"

Xu Jingyun glanced at her husband, smiled slightly, and said: "Don't be anxious, it will become more difficult to practice as you go later."

The young lady who drank a cup of hot tea stayed for a while and couldn't help but ask: "Master, I heard that Li Ye made a sword for both sister Xiaoxue and the princess. How come you forgot me?"

Xu Jingyun was stunned, looking at her husband and not knowing how to answer.

The gentleman frowned, looked at her and replied: "The princess mentioned this matter to the emperor, and the materials were also found from the palace. It is estimated that they are only enough to make two swords. Even his wife has not found them yet. You are not

Is there a lady sword? He gave one to Xiaoxue."

The teacher's meaning was very clear. The materials came from the emperor, and none of his mistresses were left behind. He only gave them to the princess and his sister. If you want to make a sword, you must first find the materials, and then go to Li Ye.

"Besides, even if you have the materials, you have to send them to Fangcun Mountain. If you leave, you can't even give them to him!" The gentleman thought for a moment and added.

"Why is this happening?" Xu Jingyun and Ye Zhiqiu asked together.

The young lady also looked at the husband eagerly.

The gentleman looked at the three of them and shook his head and said: "Because Xuantian Guanhoushan... there is no earth fire, it is useless for you to give him the materials. It takes three or two months to make a good sword."

Possible."

The teacher remembered Tang Qiuyu's Qiu Shui Wuhen, but it took Li Ye several months of effort, and he still put down his practice and worked day and night to cast it.

"If you include his current practice and his practice with his disciples, he wouldn't be able to forge a sword within a year and a half. This is why I don't want to cause him any trouble."

Just as Li Hongxiu pulled Li Xiaoxue in, Li Hongxiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "What kind of wind brought you master and disciple here today."

"Sister Wushuang, when did you come here, you didn't even call Xiaoxue."

Li Xiaoxue came in, took the young lady's hand, and sat down next to her.

The young lady looked back at Li Xiaoxue and asked, "Sister, here comes the sword your brother forged for you, let me see it."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoxue handed the Qingluan Sword in her hand to the young lady.

The young lady reached out to take it, but she couldn't help but sink down and almost fell to the ground. "Why is it so heavy?"

Li Xiaoxue looked at her and giggled, her expression was exactly the same as before.

"This is not an ordinary metal. It is the best material found in the palace. It is naturally much heavier than an ordinary sword." Li Hongxiu, who was sitting aside, picked up a pot and poured two cups of tea, and handed one cup to Li Xiaoxue.

The young lady slowly pulled out the Qingluan Sword, only to hear a clear chant echoing in the living room, and a cold light forced towards her and Xu Jingyun.

Looking at the sword glowing with blue light, the young lady said softly: "The name of the sword is Qingluan, what does it mean?"

"Is this because my brother wants to commemorate Sister Xiaoqing?" Li Xiaoxue did not hide anything from her and said it directly. After all, the little sister in her heart is her future sister-in-law.

"Xiaoqing? What's going on?" The young lady was a little confused.

Li Hongxiu glanced at Li Xiaoxue, then sighed and briefly told them about Mu Mu and Xiaoqing's departure. Then she glared at Li Xiaoxue and said, "Don't talk nonsense about this in the future.

.”

When Li Xiaoxue heard this, she was so scared that she stuck out her tongue, and then nodded heavily.

When the young lady heard this, she couldn't help but murmured softly: "So Mu Mu and Xiao Qing have left? No wonder they named this sword Qingluan... What is the name of the princess's sword?"

The young lady remembered that Xia Wutong still had a handful in his hand.

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at his husband and Li Hongxiu, and replied softly: "That sword is called Fengming."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoxue added: "The two swords look the same, but their sounds are slightly different."

"Qingluan Fengming, it turns out that you have all left the Five Realms..." The young lady touched the sword and said softly.

After a while, the young lady sheathed Qingluan and gave it back to Li Xiaoxue.

"Xue'er, what kind of sword does your brother usually make?" After calming down, the young lady looked at Li Xiaoxue and asked.

"Brother? In these years of practicing swordsmanship, I see that he always uses a purple bamboo sword. My husband said that my brother cut it himself on Tianshan Mountain."

Li Xiaoxue recalled it carefully, looked at her and said seriously.

"Using a bamboo sword? Can this be practiced?" Xu Jingyun asked, looking at her husband and Li Hongxiu.

Li Hongxiu looked at her and couldn't help laughing, and replied: "He sharpened that sword by himself on Tianshan Mountain. It has been more than ten years and he can't bear to throw it away."

Gradually, the young lady lowered her head, thinking that this guy had actually been using a bamboo sword for more than ten years.

Xu Jingyun sighed subconsciously, looked at her and said with a smile: "The national master is not attached to external objects and can practice with the simplest bamboo sword. But we are too attached."

The teacher nodded and said calmly: "Since he began to practice, I have not put pressure on him, nor have I asked him to practice to a certain state. Everything is self-conscious."

Xu Jingyun looked at Li Xiaoxue and said seriously: "Xiaoxue is practicing epee right now. This is very rare. Her future practice will be great."

Ye Zhiqiu sighed and said: "For me, as long as Xueer grows up happily, I won't allow her to leave home and go thousands of miles away to practice."

Li Xiaoxue looked at the little sister, frowned and asked: "Sister Wushuang, where is that guy from Qiu Ming in your family? If you haven't come to see me in the Imperial City for the past two years, are you staying in Fengyun City and not wanting to come out?"

The young lady was stunned, looked at her, shook her head and said, "How could it be? A few days ago, my mother wrote a letter, asking her to take her younger brother to see my husband and my master."

"It should be on the way, Xue'er, can you be more honest?" Ye Zhiqiu looked at his daughter and frowned, thinking that there were some things he shouldn't say casually.

After all, Li Xiaoxue is now twelve years old.

After thinking for a while, he said: "It's rare for you masters and disciples to come back from the Royal Academy. Let's stay in the house for a few days. Let's talk about it after your mother comes."

The young lady didn't know how to respond, so she had to reply: "Everything depends on the master's arrangements."

At this time, the housekeeper came over, looked at Mr. and Ye Zhiqiu and said, "General Nalan just sent a message, asking Mr. and the Imperial Master and his family to sit at Huamanlou tomorrow afternoon."

When Li Hongxiu heard this, his eyes lit up, he looked at the group of people and said, "Did that guy Li Ye bring back a message?"
