Xu Zhiqiong possessed the black mouse and was about to escape from the wine shop, but was blocked by a talking white mouse.
The white mouse knocked Xu Zhiqiong down with one tail. If he hadn't been merciful, this blow would have directly killed Xu Zhiqiong.
"Tell me, who asked you to come, and what did you hear?" White Mouse wanted to find out Xu Zhiqiong's origins first.
Xu Zhiqiong can't speak, because he can't speak at all in a mouse.
He saw there was a tunnel next to him, no matter where it led, and he plunged into it. After walking a few steps, he saw another white mouse appearing in front of him.
"If you don't answer, I will kill you!" The white mouse swung its tail suddenly and cut off one of the black mouse's front paws.
The black mouse whined and rolled back and forth on the ground.
The white mouse was startled and stared at the black mouse for a moment before realizing that it was an ordinary mouse.
After entering the tunnel, Xu Zhiqiong changed his soul into another gray mouse at an extremely fast speed.
This is the art of soul jumping.
This is one of the results that Xu Zhiqiong gained under the torture of his master in the past three days.
Because his attention keeps jumping, Xu Zhiqiong's soul can also jump quickly on different mice.
The gray mouse rushed out of the wine shop, and the white mouse quickly caught up.
Squeak!
When the white mouse barked, the surrounding mice quickly fled.
It stepped forward and flicked its tail, breaking the two hind legs of the gray mouse.
The gray mouse collapsed on the ground, struggling to support its body with its two front paws.
The white mouse walked up to him, flicked his tail, and pointed it at the gray mouse's head.
This time Xu Zhiqiong failed to jump out because the white mouse drove away all the surrounding mice.
He was warning Xu Zhiqiong that this was the last chance.
The gray mouse lowered his head and wrote on the ground with his front paws: "I can't speak."
The writing was crooked and difficult to read. After reading it, the white mouse asked: "Who sent you here? You write it first!"
The mouse slowly wrote a few words on the ground:
The person who sent me didn't let me speak.
The white mouse was furious: "Why are you writing this nonsense!"
After saying that, the white mouse flicked its long tail and wanted to teach Xu Zhiqiong some lessons.
A black mouse suddenly rushed over from behind, jumped up, and bit the white mouse's tail hard.
The white mouse was completely unprepared, and this bite directly bit off its tail.
Under the severe pain, the white mouse was slightly distracted. The black mouse passed by the gray mouse, took a soul with him, and rushed out of the wine shop.
The gray mouse has a soul of Xu Zhiqiong, and the black mouse also has a soul.
There is still one soul left in Xu Zhiqiong's true form.
After being tortured by the master for three full days, Xu Zhiqiong finally gave his soul to two mice at the same time. This black mouse was the one he had just caught outside the wine shop, just to save the soul trapped in the mouse hole.
The black mouse brought back one soul from the gray mouse. When the three souls were gathered together, Xu Zhiqiong immediately went to the Xingxiu Corridor.
As soon as Xu Zhiqiong's figure disappeared, Xu Rishu chased him out.
Judge?
He actually knows how to separate souls!
He must be that veteran disciple.
That's all, let him be spared for once.
Xu Rishu took out a white mouse from his sleeve and touched its severed tail sadly: "You have been wronged."
…
Xu Zhiqiong sat on the corridor, stunned.
He glanced towards the main hall and saw that the master was not there.
He got into the thinking room and silently thought about what happened.
This Xingxu named Xu is very good at using rats.
Could he be the legendary Void Sun Rat?
The Xu Sun Rat and the Ox Taurus are both from the Seven Constellations in the North. What is the conflict between them?
Xu Sun Rat wants to kill Jiao Liewei, and Niu Jinniu wants to protect Jiao Liewei. The conflict has risen to the level of the stars. Doesn’t True God Xuanwu care?
Their last battle had obviously interfered with the mortal world, and it seemed that the stars were also frantically testing the boundaries of the rules.
If Xu Rishu hadn't known anything about me, and if I hadn't mastered the soul-splitting technique, there would have been no way I could have escaped from Xu Rishu this time.
The soul-splitting technique is a life-saving method and must be practiced frequently.
If the master is not here, how should I practice?
What’s so difficult about this? Isn’t it enough to just visualize a master?
But the embodied master has no soul.
It doesn't matter, just give him a soul.
Xu Zhiqiong used the soul-dividing technique to distribute one soul to his embodied master.
Not to mention, with the embodiment of the soul, he is somewhat similar to the master.
He imitated his master's voice, cleared his throat and said, "Crazy disciple, why do you always paint plum blossoms on your master's face?"
Xu Zhiqiong himself answered: "Master, from now on I will not paint plum blossoms, but from now on I will paint chrysanthemums!"
"Master" nodded and said, "Chrysanthemums can be painted!"
…
After playing in the art workshop for five full days, the family returned to the Marquis Mansion exhausted.
Xia Hu lay down in the bedroom, let out a long breath and said, "It's more comfortable to lie on my bed at home, swinging back and forth on that boat, my internal organs are almost shifting."
Zhao Baijiao rested for a moment and began to pack her luggage.
Xia Hu frowned and said, "Where are you going?"
Zhao Baijiao smiled and said: "The New Year is over, and it's time for me to go home. These days, I have received a lot of care from you. I have neither more nor less, and I have left two pieces of silver..."
Xia Hu said angrily: "I'm taking your time off, just take the money and live here!"
"Sister, I know your thoughts. Since I came to this world, I have never had such a good year. I am satisfied."
"Stay here if you are content. If you want to find a better place, I won't stop you!"
Zhao Baijiao shook his head and said, "What's the point of me living in your house like this?"
"You are the sister brought by my mother's family. What's wrong with living in my house? There's just one thing, don't do anything to my man!"
Zhao Baijiao sneered and said: "Instead of being wary of me, it's better to be wary of a woman called sister. To be honest, I have never seen such a beautiful woman."
Xia Hu snorted coldly and looked out the window for a while.
Xu Zhiqiong is learning illusion skills with his sister Ling.
He demonstrated the Great Goulan Realm in front of Mei Ling. Mei Ling shook her head and said, "You'd better start with the basics of the technique. If you study for more time, you may be able to achieve some success."
What he said was hurtful.
Xu Zhiqiong's Dagoulan Realm has deceived many high-level cultivators, but was said to be worthless by the girl.
"What's wrong with my method? Senior said it bluntly. It doesn't need to be so profound."
Mei Ling smiled, and a voice suddenly came from behind her head: "Who are you talking to?"
Xu Zhiqiong was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see his sister clearing snow in the distance.
When he turned around, he saw that Mei Ling was still in front of him, smiling at Xu Zhiqiong: "Speaking of your weak foundation, you have to work hard and use all your energy to use an illusion. The opponent has a little bit of defense.
You are about to miss the mark, and with such a clumsy method, where can I start?"
Xu Zhiqiong did not dare to argue, so he quickly saluted and said, "Senior, please give me some advice."
"You are good at using the power of imagery and understand the art of yin and yang. With these two methods, illusions should not be so naive. Remember one sentence, traceless, invisible, soundless and colorless, changing in the ordinary, is the superior illusion.
Once you understand the meaning of these words, I will teach you some methods."
Xu Zhiqiong returned to the bedroom and carefully tried to figure out what Mei Ling meant. Just as he was about to understand it, Han Di suddenly sent a message: "The leader, the eunuch Lu Yun, wishes to see you."
Lu Yunxi came in person to definitely let Xu Zhiqiong enter the palace.
When they arrived at the palace, Lu Yunxi took Xu Zhiqiong directly to the Secret Pavilion and met Emperor Changle. Xu Zhiqiong was about to salute when he saw Emperor Changle saying worriedly:
"Zhiqiong, the envoy from Yelang Kingdom is here. I really don't want to see him. You go and help me deal with it."
Xu Zhiqiong said in surprise: "How can this be so easily handled? First tell me what you think?"
"My intention is to tell him to get out of here right away. I'm not afraid of offending him as far as I can. It's just that I can't say some vulgar words from my mouth."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "I am also a polite person. I am not good at using foul language. Princess Yuyao is better at it."
Emperor Changle smiled: "That's right. Why did I forget about her? I'll find her later. You go with her and get rid of this birdie!"
Not long after, Liang Yuyao came to the Secret Pavilion and listened to Emperor Chang Le's plan. The two of them went to the Hall of Heroes together.
In the Hall of Heroes, Hong Zuchang, the envoy of Qiancheng Kingdom, was waiting in the main hall, and Yan Anqing, the chief minister of the cabinet, sat with him for a long time.
Hearing that Xu Zhiqiong was coming, Yan Anqing went out first and gave Xu Zhiqiong a few words: "Marquis Yun, Qian Chengguo follows ancient etiquette and must not lose etiquette."
Ancient ritual?
What kind of ancient ritual?
Xu Zhiqiong didn't ask any further questions, and walked straight to the main hall with Liang Yuyao.
Yan Anqing said to Liang Yuyao again: "Your Highness, please wait outside the palace. The customs of Qiancheng Kingdom are different from those of Daxuan."
Liang Yuyao was surprised: "What's the difference?"
Yan Anqing pondered for a moment and answered as tactfully as possible: "Qiancheng Kingdom regards the princess as a member of the royal family. According to the etiquette and laws of Qiancheng Kingdom, family members do not discuss political affairs."
To put it more bluntly, according to the rules of Qiancheng Kingdom, Liang Yuyao, as a woman, is not qualified to participate in political affairs.
No wonder Emperor Changle didn't want to see the envoys of Qiancheng Kingdom.
Liang Yuyao said: "I came here according to the emperor's order, do you still dare to stop me?"
Yan Anqing saluted repeatedly and said: "Your Highness, please calm down. This is not my intention, but an ancient etiquette of the Qiancheng Kingdom."
Liang Yuyao ignored Yan Anqing and walked straight to the main hall.
Yan Anqing didn't say any more. He had expected such a result. He just explained the current situation. Once the two parties had a dispute, he could take away his own responsibility.
Before entering the main hall, Yan Anqing gave another warning: "Qian Chengguo has a ritual of three invitations and three concessions. Before taking a seat, he will first invite two people to take a seat, and the two people must give way three times, and then take a seat."
Liang Yuyao said solemnly: "There are so many rules, that's all. I've written them down."
When they arrived at the main hall, Yan Anqing came forward to introduce him. The envoy Hong Zuchang, who was in his fifties, saluted first: "Marquis Yun, please."
He didn't look at Liang Yuyao, and seemed to regard Liang Yuyao as nothing.
Liang Yuyao was in an awkward situation. The other party ignored her at all, and she didn't know whether she should go through the process of three requests and three concessions with the other party.
When he was annoyed, he saw Xu Zhiqiong returned the gift and sat directly in the host's seat without saying anything.
Hong Zuchang was stunned for a moment. The other party did not follow the etiquette of three requests and three concessions.
Liang Yuyao felt happy and sat down with Xu Zhiqiong.
Hong Zuchang stood in the center of the hall, frowning and said: "Does your country not know etiquette?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Da Xuan does not follow the etiquette and laws of your country."
"I have followed the ancient etiquette thousands of times, which is the common etiquette in the world!" Hong Zuchang looked at Xu Zhiqiong with a smile on his face, looking at this reckless and arrogant young man.
He knew that Xu Zhiqiong would definitely not recognize the public etiquette of Qiancheng Kingdom, but he had already prepared for it. He started with the origin of etiquette, quoted from other sources, listed many classics and historical materials, and after several debates, Xu Zhiqiong was able to understand
Speechless.
As long as you gain the upper hand in the first debate, you can take the initiative in subsequent negotiations.
He wanted Xu Zhiqiong to learn to respect the Qiancheng Kingdom and learn to respect the etiquette and laws of the Qiancheng Kingdom.
But he didn't expect that Xu Zhiqiong did not discuss etiquette with him, but only responded to him:
