The next day, Xie Wuyou got up early. Ning Que was surprised to see him getting up so early.
"Why did you get up so early today?"
Ning Que saw Xie Wuyou smile and figured it out.
"Are you going to attend the court meeting?"
Xie Wuyou said: "As the sword master of the Tang Dynasty, I have the right to make my own decisions. It is normal for me to participate in court meetings."
Although Xie Wuyou said this, Ning Que didn't know Xie Wuyou's character. According to his temperament, he was unwilling to participate in such trivial matters. After all, it was for him.
Although Ning Que didn't say a word of thanks, his eyes were full of emotion. Even the uncle, the housekeeper who played with him every day, didn't think about him blindly like Xie Wuyou.
Although Xie Wuyou is not as old as Ning Que, but as Xie Wuyou said before, the young and mature Xie Wuyou really looks like Ning Que's elder.
"Okay, why are you acting like this? You have helped me with many things, and I have learned a lot from you."
Xie Wuyou gave Ning Que a gentle blow and said with a smile.
"Oh, really. It seems that I can still do it. I just don't know what you have learned from me. Let me tell you."
Although he felt that he was not as good as Xie Wuyou said, Ning Que was still quite happy.
"I learned a lot, but the most useful things are two points, one is rogue, the other is shameless."
After Xie Wuyou said that, he ran out quickly.
"Xie Wuyou, just wait for me!"
Ning Que gritted his teeth and ran to the door and shouted at Xie Wuyou's back. Sure enough, he shouldn't have any illusions about him.
Ning Que saw Sang Sang coming over and said, "Sang Sang, tell me, Wuyou was so good before, but I don't know how bad I learned from that."
As Ning Que was talking, he saw Sang Sang staring at him. Ning Que felt numb for a moment, and Sang Sang also thought that he had led Xie Wuyou into trouble.
Ning Que sighed, feeling helpless.
Xie Wuyou wandered outside the palace gate. The closer he got to the palace gate, the more court officials he saw.
When he walked outside the palace gate, Xie Wuyou happened to see Zeng Jing. Among all the officials, Xie Wuyou knew Zeng Jing, so he walked over.
"I've seen the Sword Master."
When the officials around him saw Xie Wuyou, they immediately saluted, and Xie Wuyou all nodded.
"I didn't expect that the sword master would come to attend the court meeting today."
Zeng Jing said with some sigh, Xie Wuyou replied: "Master Zeng is Sang Sang's father, and now he is Ning Que's father-in-law. Based on my relationship with them, Master Zeng can call me Wuyou, or Xiao Xie."
."
"Ouch, I don't dare to say thank you, Xiao Xie. In that case, I will go above and beyond to make you worry-free."
"It doesn't matter."
Zeng Jing looked at Xie Wuyou with great satisfaction. He was so young, but his cultivation was far superior to many monks in the world, and he had such a close relationship with Sangsang. It was really great.
The other officials were whispering about the battle between Xie Wuyou and Liu Bai. Originally, the Tang Dynasty Court had been arguing about this matter before, but they knew that the big event today was the return of Zhenbei General Xiahou.<
/p>
Normally, it is not a big deal for a general to return to old age, but the key point is that this is a general at the peak of martial arts who is at his peak. More importantly, his return to old age was proposed by the academy's senior gentleman, and it is also the meaning of the academy.
After a while, the palace door opened.
"The palace door is open, let's go."
Zeng Jing said to Xie Wuyou, Xie Wuyou reached out to Zeng Jing and motioned for him to go forward, and Zeng Jing became less polite.
The first time he went to court, Xie Wuyou followed Zeng Jing. When he entered the main hall, Xie Wuyou still stood behind Zeng Jing.
This made both the civilian officials and the military department on the opposite side a little confused. Logically speaking, Sword Lord should belong to the ranks of military attachés, but His Majesty has never said that, so there is no problem for Xie Wuyou to stand among the civilian officials.
It wasn't until Li Zhongyi came to the main hall and noticed that the civil and military officials were a little awkward that he saw Xie Wuyou standing among the civil officials.
Li Zhongyi smiled and said: "I didn't expect Wuyou to come to the court meeting today. Come, please set up a seat next to me."
Everyone present was stunned. The waiter did not dare to hesitate and immediately brought a chair, but placed it slightly below Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi was a little unhappy, but he didn't want to get angry because of this. He called Xie Wuyou to come up. Xie Wuyou was not polite and sat directly next to Li Zhongyi.
All the civil and military officials sighed for a while. They thought they had overestimated the status of the Sword Master, but they didn't expect that the Sword Master's weight in His Majesty's heart was much more than that. For a while, some people began to look at Zeng Jing with envy.
.
Zeng Jing couldn't help but straighten up her back. Her daughter is really impressive. If you have the ability, you should have one too.
"I heard that Wuyou will have a battle with the sword master Liu Bai in more than two months. I don't know if I can be sure."
Li Zhongyi asked aloud. When Liu Bai was mentioned, Xie Wuyou's eyes lit up and he said calmly: "If there is no breakthrough during the battle, you will not be defeated. You can kill him with all your strength."
Everyone was shocked. Fortunately, they remembered that this was a court and did not dare to make any noise.
The reason why Xie Wuyou said that he can kill with all his strength, but not that he can win, is because once he attacks with all his strength, he will definitely use the sword intention of the Heavenly Sword.
As soon as the Heavenly Sword came out, Wan Jian bowed his head. It was no joke, but it also showed that Xie Wuyou could not defeat Liu Bai without relying on the power of the Heavenly Sword. How could he win?
And this is not hypocritical, it is respect and respect for those who are traveling on the road of swordsmanship. Of course, if Liu Bai becomes Xie Wuyou's enemy, that is a different matter. Facing his own enemies, Xie Wuyou will not say these things
.
"Your Majesty, it is certainly a happy event for our country, the Tang Dynasty, that the Sword Lord has become invincible before fighting, but today is the day when General Xiahou will submit a letter to retire, so I would like to ask your Majesty to make a decision."
Li Zhongyi was very satisfied after hearing Xie Wuyou's words. He waved his sleeves and said to the chamberlain beside him: "Xuan Xiahou enters the palace."
"Your Majesty has a decree to declare the town to be the Great General of the North, and Xiahou has an audience with him."
The chamberlain shouted at the top of his lungs, and the orders were passed down one after another. After a while, the ground began to shake slightly, and Xiahou was seen walking into the hall wearing armor.

"I, the Marquis of Xia, see your Majesty."
Xiahou cupped his fists and saluted.
Li Zhongyi sighed in his heart. The Queen had been begging him for this matter for several days. Li Zhongyi couldn't help but look at Xie Wuyou.
"Your Majesty can make his own decision. No matter what the decision is, it should not be interfered by external forces."
Xie Wuyou said calmly.
This sentence made all the civil and military officials in the court feel more favorable to Xie Wuyou, including the white-haired veteran who was at the head of the military attachés.
This person was Xu Shi, the general with the highest military merit and seniority in the Tang Dynasty. At this time, he secretly sighed in his heart. Xu Dong's report was indeed correct. Xie Wuyou, who could create a gentleman's injustice sword, would never interfere with the court.
And imperial power.
Just when Li Zhongyi was hesitating, a chamberlain came to him and handed him a note. After Li Zhongyi read it, he no longer hesitated and picked up a memorial from the tray beside him and handed it to the chamberlain.
Passed it to Xiahou.
"Since General Zhenbei has written a letter to retire, I am not a stubborn person. General Zhenbei has guarded the north for many years and has worked hard and made great achievements. I have granted General Zhenbei Xiahou to retire and become a scholar."
Li Zhongyi said the last sentence with his eyes closed. Frankly speaking, Xiahou has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty over the years. Although sometimes his methods are a bit shady, Li Zhongyi cannot pick up a bowl and scold the cook.
Xiahou looked at the memorial in his hand, and then at the civil and military officials in the court. None of his former colleagues dared to speak. Xiahou looked around and suddenly laughed.
