Meng Lan looked out the window curiously and asked.
Yan Shuangyu shook her head slightly and said, "Maybe I felt wrong. It seems like someone was peeping."
Meng Lan frowned and said, "It's impossible, is there anyone in the capital who dares to spy on us? Don't you want to live anymore?"
After the three of them were detoxified, their cultivation levels declined somewhat, but the three of them all had cultivation levels above the emperor level, and together they had few opponents.
Besides, Long Chen is in the capital. If a fight breaks out here, if Long Chen finds out and comes to help, he will definitely kill him.
"It's my imagination."
Yan Shuangyu put down the window and shook her head.
After pouring a pot of tea, Xiu Niang said: "My husband wants to marry four princesses at the same time, and I feel a little angry."
Meng Lan smiled and said, "I'm also angry. When will we marry into the prince's palace?"
Yan Shuangyu smiled and said: "Why fight for that status? The three of us are doing well here. When we get to the palace, there are all kinds of rules and regulations."
The embroiderer smiled and said: "That's right. We three sisters are so comfortable. We go to Yanzi's place for a walk when we have free time."
The sky is getting dark, the cold wind is blowing outside, and the fire is burning in the house, making tea, which is very comfortable.
.
The next day.
When Long Chen got up early in the morning, He Juntao took several carriages with him, and Zou Kai accompanied them, and arrived at Shiliting Pavilion in the south of the city.
Not long after, Taoist priests Xuanzhen and Liang Yao arrived with the young Taoist priests, and Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai arrived with soldiers from Nanliang.
"The Prince Regent has been waiting for a long time."
Taoist priest Xuanzhen said apologetically.
"It's a long way from the capital to Liehuo Temple. It's hard to carry too many things. I can't give you anything good. I only have a sword and some gold coins. Don't be disgusted by Taoist priest."
He Juntao presented a sacred wood sword and a large box of gold coins.
Liang Yao took the answer, and Taoist Master Xuanzhen said: "Don't worry, Prince Regent. When Pindao returns to Liehuo Temple, he will definitely engrave the ghost clan's affairs on the stone. If there is another disaster from the ghost clan in the future, future generations will know how to deal with it.
"
This is the meaning of Long Chen's gift of the sacred wood sword.
The world now knows about the ghost clan, but what will happen in hundreds or thousands of years?
Someone must remember it, it must be recorded, and someone must pass it on.
"Thank you, Taoist Master."
Zou Kai took the little Taoist priest's hand and handed a baggage over: "These are the snacks I bought. Eat them slowly along the way. Don't eat too fast. When you grow up, you can travel around and come to me."
.”
The two friends have been playing together for a long time. Now they say goodbye and don't know when they will see each other again. Zou Kai is very reluctant to leave.
"Okay, come to Liehuo Temple when you have time. There are so big fish there. I will take you to see them."
The little Taoist priest carried the baggage behind his back, feeling a little reluctant to part with it.
In the distance, Mojie and Xuanhui came on horseback.
When he got off his horse at Shiliting Pavilion, Mojie clasped his hands together and said, "Will the Taoist Master go back?"
Taoist priest Xuanzhen and Mojie had read ancient books together, and they were quite close friends.
.
"I'm going back. I didn't want to disturb the mage."
"We say goodbye today, I don't know when we will see you again."
Mojie was deeply moved.
"You and I, monks, shouldn't feel this way."
Taoist priest Xuanzhen smiled heartily.
Mojie smiled and said: "Yes, I will travel around in the future, maybe I will go to the Taoist Master."
Xuan Hui looked at the little Taoist priest and said reluctantly: "I don't have anything good to give you, just a scroll of scriptures. You can take it."
The little Taoist priest took the scripture and said, "Don't be sad, we will meet again."
Xuan Hui sighed: "When? Ten years later, or twenty years later? Maybe after twenty years, I don't want to see you again."
The little Taoist priest smiled and said, "Since you don't want to see me anymore, then I'll disappear."
This is how human relationships are, they are reluctant to part with each other, but a few years later, they occasionally think of them.
Long Chen said to Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai: "The two old generals followed me deep into the ice field. Many Nanliang soldiers died in the north. These carts are for their families. Please give them to their families on my behalf.
"
The car is full of gold, silver and jewelry. There are not many things, but they are very valuable.
Hu Feiyang said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. The soldiers who sacrificed the most in this war were the soldiers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Our soldiers in Daliang should contribute."
Long Chen said: "I am originally from Nanliang. When I have the opportunity, I will return to Jinling and meet the two old generals again."
Qiu Kuohai bowed and said, "I wish the regent a bright future and take my leave."
The two of them bowed their hands to Mojie Gong, and Taoist Master Xuanzhen also said goodbye, taking Liang Yao, the young Taoist priest, and the Nanliang soldiers to the south.
Zou Kai climbed to the top of the pavilion and watched the little Taoist priest leave. When he could no longer see him, he came down with red eyes.
"Father, when are we going to Agni Fire Temple?"
"Go when you have time."
Long Chen comforted Zou Kai, saying that he was still young and had not experienced the pain of separation.
"Congratulations to the Prince Regent. I heard yesterday that I was going to marry four princesses. What a blessing."
After the person left, Mojie quickly wiped away his unhappiness.
He is a monk and there is no separation of cause and effect in his heart.
"Oh, are you envious? How about you return to secular life?"
"It's unreasonable, and you're here to cause trouble again."
Mojie shook his head and said with a smile: "I'll go to the mountain to drink tea when I have time. I'll leave first."
Mojie left with Xuanhui, and Long Chen took Zou Kai back to the city.
Returning to Prince Wu's Mansion, Xu Zhong, the Minister of Rites, was waiting in the outer courtyard.
"Your Majesty pays homage to the Regent."
When Xu Zhong saw Long Chen, he hurriedly paid his respects.
"Xu Shangshu is here, sit down."
"
Thank you, Prince Regent."
After sitting down, Xu Zhong explained his purpose of coming. He was here to arrange marriage matters.
No matter how simple it is, it is still a marriage between the four princesses and Long Chen, and there must be no lack of etiquette.
At the same time, Xu Zhong also got the news that the eldest princess Di Yuwei was pregnant, so she had to speed up the process because it would take too long.
Therefore, he must strike a compromise very precisely.
After listening to Xu Zhong's words, Long Chen said: "I don't understand these things very well. You should talk to Aunt Yourong and let her prepare things."
He Juntao invited Su Yourong over, and Long Chen went back to the backyard by himself.
Zhang Qian and her group were playing around in the house. Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun were only wearing pajamas and looked like they had just gotten up.
"Wear more clothes, you are not as healthy as usual now."
A normal body is indeed not as strong as a half-ghost, and you will get sick if you catch a cold.
"Tsk, tsk, I used to wish we had no clothes, but now we are asked to wear more clothes. The Flower Goddess is so beautiful that she has forgotten us."
Dugu Jiali clicked her tongue and sighed.
Wu Chuchu smiled and said: "That's right, Huaxin."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Okay, then don't wear them."
Long Chen grabbed Wu Xiangyun's pajamas and tore them to pieces. Wu Xiangyun hid in Dugu Jiali's arms and shouted: "Jiali, save me."

backyard.
Zhao Ying is talking to her mother Zhao Fanshi.
"This battle is so dangerous. It's not easy for you all to get through it."
Since last night, Zhao Fan has been listening to Zhao Ying talking about the Northern Expedition of the Ghost Tribe, and she was frightened by what she heard.
"Compared to the ghost clan, the war between Xixia and Eastern Zhou is nothing."
Zhao Ying shook her head and sighed.
Zhao Fan nodded and said: "Yes, the battle between Eastern Zhou and Xixia was fought between humans and humans. This ghost tribe is not human at all."
"Fortunately, God bless you and you are back safely."
Zhao Ying said: "Actually, the most dangerous battles were fought between Long Chen and the Empress. I just led my troops to chase down the ghost soldiers."
Zhao Fan reminded: "Don't call him by his name. He is the regent now, and he will be the emperor of Zhou in the future."
Zhao Ying asked curiously: "Mom, will he really become emperor?"
Zhao Fan said: "I think we will. The Holy Spirit said that in public, which means we are well prepared."
Zhao Ying hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mom, what about me?"
Zhao Fan smiled and said, "I don't think I will treat you badly. At least you are a royal concubine."
Zhao Ying blushed.
.
Jujin Tower.
Mo Lin was sitting in the small attic, Qian Cheng was reporting business with his account book, and Mo Lin seemed a little listless.
Gan Xin died, and he has not recovered yet.
>
"Okay, as long as the accounts are correct, everything will be easy if we rely on the court to do business."
Mo Lin lay on the rocking chair, absent-minded.
"Yes, King Wu. You said it wrong. He is the regent. With the support of the regent, it will be easy for us to do anything."
After a pause, Qian Cheng asked with a smile: "Master, will the regent really ascend to the position of Ninth Five-Year Plan?"
Mo Lin said matter-of-factly: "Of course, it will happen sooner or later."
Qian Cheng said with emotion: "The regent is so powerful. He started as a eunuch and will soon become emperor."
Mo Lin sighed: "It's a pity that Lao Gan didn't see it."
Qian Cheng said regretfully: "Master Gan died for the world and deserved his death."
Mo Lin said nothing, Qian Cheng said something innocuous, and then quit.
"Master, I have something to do."
"If you fart, let it go."
"A few days ago, I suddenly felt that someone was spying on Jujin Building."
"Snooping? What do you mean?"
"It feels. It feels so familiar."
Mo Lin frowned, stood up immediately, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Qian Cheng said solemnly: "It feels like Shen Wanjin."
Mo Lin's expression changed slightly, and then he laughed again: "He still dares to show up?"
In the past, Mo Lin was afraid of Shen Wanjin, but now if he meets Shen Wanjin, Mo Lin is confident that he can kill him.
Moreover, Shen Wanjin seriously injured Long Chen's woman, and the debt has not yet been settled.
If he dared to return to the capital, he would be discovered by Long Chen and die badly.
"It's okay, you go ahead, Shen Wanjin, hum!"
Qian Cheng exited the small attic.
.
Gongsun Mansion.
Gongsun Linglong pestered Gongsun Yun to ask this and that, all of which were incomprehensible questions.
"Grandpa, when will the dead eunuch get married?"
"Will he ascend the throne after getting married? How long will it take?"
"Long Chen set up the match between my younger brother and Li Xiannan? Why didn't I know?"
After chattering for a long time, Gongsun Yun responded with a smile, and Gongsun Ming felt like his ears had calluses.
"Don't worry, when the regent ascends the throne, I will go to the matchmaker to marry my sister to him."
Gongsun Linglong was enlightened, stepped in front of Gongsun Ming, grabbed his ears, and cursed: "You are capable, aren't you? Jinling is staying behind? You are awesome, aren't you? Who is the sister?"
Gongsun Ming cried out: "Grandpa, my sister is bullying me again."
Gongsun Yun immediately advised: "Don't be like this, how can you marry someone like this? I think Long Chen likes gentle and virtuous people, you can't be like this."
Gongsun Linglong left Gongsun Ming, clapped her hands and said, "No, he just likes me like this."
