Chapter 623(1/3)
Rebellion
Eunuch Bai's footsteps were light and he landed silently. He walked around the corridor in a blink of an eye and arrived at the small pavilion on the opposite side. Li Muchan looked over there with his hands behind his hands. He saw Eunuch Bai saluting respectfully, and then whispered a few words. Concubine Xue nodded lightly and looked towards this
While taking a look, his bright eyes fell on Li Muchan from the air.
Li Muchan's senses are sharp. From such a distance, he can clearly feel the emotions contained in this eye wave. It is calm and waveless, and his emotions do not fluctuate at all.
There was a condescension in her eyes, like a person looking down at an ant and looking at him carefully, with the mentality of an elder looking at a junior, or an adult looking at a child.
Li Muchan shook his head secretly, this is the mentality of a big shot, looking down at all living beings, they are like ants.
He was used to it when he shook his head. Anyone in such a high position would inevitably develop this kind of mentality. How could he not have a condescending mentality if he could decide the other person's life or death with just one word?
Eunuch Bai came back soon, with a smile on his face: "Sir, let's go there, remember not to be rude and don't look up at the queen."
Li Muchan nodded and said with a smile: "Father, this is the fifth time, I understand!"
Eunuch Bai quickly glanced at the other side, then leaned into his ear and whispered: "Your Majesty's temper is not very good, so be careful."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I know!"
Eunuch Bai looked at his disapproving look and was secretly worried. Mr. Li was obviously not a worry-free person, he was proud and arrogant, and the empress was also arrogant, so it would not be a good idea to meet him together.
He had been asking Li Muchan to talk before, and was not in a hurry to bring him to see the empress. He just wanted to find out his temperament. He had been hesitant and finally decided to bring him to see the empress. After all, the opportunity was rare. If he could win the favor of the empress, he would be able to achieve great success soon.
.
At this moment, he felt a little regretful. Mr. Li's temper was really not suitable for working in the officialdom. He was a carefree and carefree person who could not be restrained and suppressed.
Seeing his hesitation, Li Muchan smiled and said, "Eunuch, let's go!"
"Alas..." Eunuch Bai looked at him, shook his head, turned around and started to lead the way, sighing to himself that he had resigned himself to fate. At this point, he could only take one step at a time, and he was just trying to smooth things over.
The two walked through the winding corridor. Below the corridor was the lake. The lake was far less clear than Ming Lake and Xing Lake. Clusters of koi carp could be faintly seen on the water.
There were only two people sitting in the small pavilion, one was Fang Huairui in an apricot-yellow robe, and the other was Concubine Xue in white palace attire. Behind Concubine Xue stood an old man in brocade clothes, with a swarthy face and a thin body, like an unsheathed sword.
, the murderous aura was approaching Li Muchan, and it was as if it were real even after being separated by more than ten feet.
His eyes were bright and cold, showing his disregard for life and death. Li Muchan shook his head secretly, this old eunuch killed many people!
This old man in brocade clothes couldn't tell that he was a eunuch. He was majestic and masculine, more masculine than a man, but Li Muchan could feel that he was a eunuch.
Besides, you can guess that the personal guards around the imperial concubine are not eunuchs.

***************
When the two of them arrived at the small pavilion, Eunuch Bai bowed and said, "Madam, Mr. Li is here."
Li Muchan cupped his fists and cupped his hands, raised his head and smiled: "I've met your empress."
When I saw her up close, I felt that she was breathtakingly beautiful. Her skin was as white as snow, and her face was as radiant as the sky. She was really dazzling and radiant. The pink and white in the sixth palace were colorless, which was no exaggeration.
"Bold!" A sudden shout came from behind her. The swarthy old man's eyes were filled with coldness, and he glared angrily at Li Muchan. His brocade clothes were fluttering, as if he wanted to take action.
Concubine Xue raised her arm slightly: "General Hong, it doesn't have to be like this."
"Yes, empress." The old man took a step back, converged his gaze, and lowered his eyelids slightly, like an old monk who had fallen into trance and never looked at Li Muchan again.
Li Muchan smiled and glanced at General Hong: "Mother, is this a general?"
Concubine Xue looked at him with a smile, her bright eyes revealing the meaning of inquiry: "General Hong is a true general. He later retired from the army after being accepted as a general and became my bodyguard."
She knew how amazing her beauty was. Not to mention others, even her brothers often dared not look directly at her. Men would be nervous when they saw her, and most of them felt ashamed of themselves. The remaining ones were not ashamed of themselves, and would not be as calm and calm as him.
Wave.
Hearing Concubine Xue's words, Li Muchan was in awe and guessed the reason. It seemed that he became a eunuch due to an injury, so he returned to the palace and became the concubine's personal bodyguard.
Such people are respectable and admirable. Whether it is for fame, fortune or anything else, in short, they contribute to the country and the people, and they deserve to be rewarded.
Concubine Xue looked at him and nodded gently: "Yes, he is indeed the pillar of our Fang Mansion. He has extraordinary bearing and courage."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Thank you, Madam. I am just an ignorant person and fearless. Besides, you are a member of the Fang Mansion, so you are not considered an outsider."
Concubine Xue pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "I heard from eldest brother that Mr. Li is very arrogant. I didn't believe it before, but now I do."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "You didn't say anything nice about me. I went toe-to-toe with you. I really don't have the consciousness of being a guest. I feel ashamed."
Concubine Xue saw that he had no sense of shame at all. With these few words, he showed his true colors. He was indeed a rebellious guy. The eldest brother should be scratching his head.
Only the second brother can control such a person, not the eldest brother, but the soft-spoken man.
He had seen all the men, and they were all shocked by his beauty. Even if he pretended to be nonchalant, he could not completely hide the surprise in his heart.
This Mr. Li is strange. He is as calm as water. He sees nothing strange about himself and turns a blind eye to his own beauty. He is really weird.
She was a little angry, but she smiled sweetly: "I heard from my second brother that Mr. Li's martial arts skills are amazing and unpredictable. He is one of the few masters in the world. Is this true or not?"
Li Muchan smiled: "Second Master, thank you."
He saw that this Concubine Xue was really not a good girl and was about to pick a fight. Although she could control her facial expressions, she could not control her emotions and could not escape the induction of his mind.
*******************************************
"Second brother always seizes on other people's strengths and exaggerates. Seven points can be said to be ten points." Xue Fei shook her head and chuckled.
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Second Master has a magnificent bearing, which I have always admired."
"Sister." Fang Huairui said softly.
She heard that the eldest sister was unkind and was about to stir up trouble. The eldest sister seemed to be smiling and kind, but she was also very scheming and arrogant.
If the two of them really fight, Mr. Li will definitely suffer. This is really regrettable.
Concubine Xue glanced at her and said calmly: "I heard that you sent people to invite Mr. Li several times, but Mr. Li ignored him. Are you so shameless and lifeless?"
Fang Huairui said: "Why am I angry? Mr. Li doesn't like these red tapes. I know that, so it's nothing."
Concubine Xue smiled lightly: "You girl..."
Li Muchan clasped his fists and said, "Miss Fang, I was rude a few times. I'm too lazy and I really don't want to socialize. Sometimes I seem unreasonable. Please forgive me."
Fang Huairui shook his head and said with a smile: "Sir, you're welcome. I haven't been able to repay you for your life-saving grace."
Concubine Xue looked at the two of them with a smile and did not interrupt.
Li Muchan said: "If Miss really wants to repay my life-saving grace, just give me a sword. I just accepted a disciple and I don't have the weapon at my disposal."
"Okay, is it Master Mingyue, right?" Fang Huairui suddenly smiled.
Li Muchan smiled and nodded.
Fang Huairui smiled and said, "Tomorrow I will take Master Mingyue to the inner treasury to pick out a good sword. Don't worry, sir."
Li Muchan nodded: "This is a big help to me."
"Sir, if you need anything else, just ask, I will do it if I can." Fang Huairui said.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "A sword is enough. I stay in the house and I don't need anything."
Concubine Xue smiled and said: "My little sister's life is worth a sword, yes, yes."
"Sister——!" Fang Huairui shook her arm.
Concubine Xue said helplessly: "Okay, okay, Mr. Li, I heard that your martial arts skills are extremely high, and I would like to see him, what do you think?"
Li Muchan secretly shouted "Here we come", but his expression was as calm as before: "I wonder what your Majesty wants to see?"
Concubine Xue smiled lightly and said: "General Hong's martial arts is not bad, how about we compete with each other to open my eyes?"
Li Muchan glanced at General Hong, who had his eyes slightly lowered, and said with a smile: "Sure as you wish!"
***************************************************
************
"Okay, General Hong, you can learn from Mr. Li's clever tricks!" Xue Fei said calmly.
"Yes, empress." General Hong bowed in response, looked up at Li Muchan, his eyes were like lightning, and said coldly: "Please enlighten me!"
He slipped up and reached Li Muchan. He reached out and struck with his palm. Li Muchan stepped back and barely managed to avoid it. General Hong then struck out, and Li Muchan retreated again.
General Hong's movements are extremely fast, like lightning or light, so fast that people can't react. People often see him in the same place, but in fact he is in another place, faster than people's eyes.
In the past, Li Muchan had to use the method of transformation, but now he only relied on footwork, using simple but strange footwork, and he could barely avoid it every time.
He hung his hands slightly on his waist, trying to avoid attacks but not attack, in order to test the footwork he had deduced. This footwork was indeed mysterious. General Hong could not hit him with such skill.
Concubine Xue looked at it with great interest.
She was not familiar with martial arts and couldn't see the depth. She just felt that General Hong had the upper hand, forcing Li Muchan to keep dodging and unable to attack, which made her feel happy.
Fang Huairui shook his head. She knew martial arts and although her eyesight was not strong, she knew that Li Muchan could only hide but not attack, so he was not without the ability to fight back.
General Hong sneered: "How long will you hide?"
His figure suddenly sped up, and several figures appeared in a flash, surrounding Li Muchan. Li Muchan had no choice but to stretch out his palms and slap them together, and the two palms met.
There was a muffled "bang" sound, and both of them stepped back. Li Muchan suddenly floated up, his toes touched the railing, floated out of the pavilion, and landed on the lake like a feather.
General Hong retreated and hit the railing with his back. There was a "click" and the railing exploded. Still unable to stop him, he fell straight into the lake.
He touched the surface of the lake with his toes, stepped in an inch, then bounced up and fell back to the small pavilion.
His face was gloomy, like a dark cloud, his eyes were gleaming, his brocade clothes were fluttering, and his eyebrows were all trembling as he stared at Li Muchan.
Li Muchan clasped his fists on the lake and smiled: "General Hong has great skills, I admire him!"
General Hong stared at him, then suddenly flashed and disappeared on the spot. He had already left the small pavilion and appeared above the lake. He swooped down at Li Muchan like an eagle.
Li Muchan spun around and took a step, but barely managed to avoid it. A Tai Chi figure appeared on the lake, and was immediately smashed into pieces by General Hong's palms.
