Chapter 42 The so-called rivers and lakes
Is Zhenshiding Ding? It won’t be like this just before the door openly, right? Xue Mu tried to sense the pattern in his palm, but there was no response.
While looking at it, Xue Qingqiu sent a voice transmission: "Don't embarrass you, just a copy of Zhenshiding Ding, it just contains some breath."
Xue Mu nodded and stepped into the door side by side with her.
Xiahou Di stood in the gate waiting, with two people accompanying her. A man with long hair and a shoulder was quite heroic, wearing a six-door uniform and a jade sign hanging around his waist. Another feminine, beardless young man with white face looked very feminine and his clothes didn't look like six-door ones. When the Xue siblings came in, they both bowed: "The distinguished guest is here, we have never met you, so we are rude."
Xiahou Di shook his cloak and turned around and walked in: "Don't play with those false ones, Sect Master Xue won't talk about that. Come in."
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a flagpole towering into the clouds. Several heads were hung on the flagpole, with blood dripping, and the head and face were as if they were alive. Even the shocked expression before death was completely preserved.
Suddenly I saw a fresh head. The disgusting impact was really not something I could understand when watching TV. Xue Mu's stomach twitched and almost vomited. Fortunately, he didn't eat, his stomach was empty, and it was not so easy to vomit, but at least he didn't show any shame.
Xue Qingqiu turned a blind eye and walked through the flagpole indifferently. Xiahou Di led the way forward, and the scarlet cloak floated backwards, which looked like blood in Xue Mu's eyes.
The banquet at Xiahou Di was the side hall of the Six Gate headquarters, which means regular official cooperation and official banquet. Just like in modern official business, brothers invite visits and invites them to the cafeteria? It is roughly the same, which means a kind of intimacy and the heart of the weak Xue Mu. If such a banquet is used to kill people, if this kind of thing is spread, Liu Gate will be laughed at by grandma's house. This is not a bad idea unless it is absolutely necessary.
After entering the side hall, the furnishings were solemn and simple. A small round table was set up, and five or six people were sitting in front of him.
Xiahou Di sat down first and said casually: "Sit there is no seat for the host and the guest, so please don't have any trouble."
Xue Qingqiu sat together with Xue Mu. The feminine young man and the heroic man looked at each other, with a strange look. He didn't say anything and sat with him in the remaining empty seats.
Both sides were looking at each other, and they were thinking differently.
Regularly speaking, when two people attend the banquet, they will naturally sit on the left and right side of the host, which means the host and the guest. But the siblings don’t talk about this, and they actually sit next to each other... They say they don’t talk about etiquette, but their attitudes don’t look very similar, and they always feel that they just want to sit together... Are they really siblings?
Xue Mu was not thinking about this kind of gossip. When he saw the jade plaque on the waist of a heroic man, he remembered the fabrication of Xue Qingqiu in "The Great Events" and killed three gold medal captains. From this point of view, perhaps the color of the brand is the level mark inside the six doors. For example, the jade plaque that cooperates with each other should be the highest level. Xiahou Di's left and right hands meant that the gold medal was ranked second.
You can't write Xue Qingqiu's jade plaques, because they are all famous and powerful people, and they can't write a few of them to death. Moreover, if you die, the jade plaques will shake the prestige of the Six Gates, so you can only die of the gold medal... Thinking of this, Xue Mu suddenly felt that the propaganda of the Six Gates is not bad either. A mere detail reflects the Basic Law. Should I say it is worthy of being a government department? This posture is obviously higher than that of the underworld like Xingyue Sect.
Soon, a yamen runner started serving wine and food. It was not until now that Xue Qingqiu picked up a glass of wine and said, "This time I am late, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
The heroic man shook his head and said, "Actually, something happened to Xunhuan Pavilion. Someone else went to deal with it. He just came back."
Xue Qingqiu looked at him with a cautious expression: "As far as I know, there are many people who enter the Tao with the six doors, and the only one who is Dongxu."
The heroic man bowed his hand with a solemn expression: "Xuanzhe has met Master Xue and has long admired Daming."
"It's indeed Marquis of Weisu." Xue Qingqiu smiled and turned to Xue Mu to introduce: "The number one master of the Six Gates is famous. It seems that the Six Gates is of great sincerity this time."
Dongxu? Marquis? Look at the court and the world are considered super big bosses. Xue Mu quickly said that he had been admiring for a long time, thinking in his heart that Xiahou Di, a young girl, could suppress the six doors, was probably the result of the boss's full support. No wonder Xiahou Di was speculated that it was the emperor's illegitimate daughter, and it seemed that it really tasted a little.
The feminine young man smiled and said, "This is the sincerity of the court."
Xue Qingqiu nodded: "This must be Eunuch Li, the Venerable of the Flower?"
The feminine young man raised his glass and signaled: "It is our family, the people in the palace, who are humble and humiliating the sect leader Qingting."
Xue Mu understood, no wonder he was feminine. He turned out to be a eunuch... The eunuch is also known as the Venerable of the Flower, so what...
"It's just like thunder." Xue Qingqiu didn't care whether he was a eunuch or not. She slightly lifted the corner of the veil and raised her glass and sipped the wine, which was very embarrassing.
The opening atmosphere was pretty good. Xue Qingqiu gave face so much that he obviously knew the overall significance of this banquet. Even the palace came, such as the powerful Dongxu and the Marquis, who were accompanying him, was obviously not the time to show off.
Xue Mu also gave a cup to everyone and expressed his thunderousness. After the ceremony, Xue Mu continued with the words just now: "What is the result of Xunhuan Pavilion now?"
The Eunuch Li glanced at Xue Mu, with a strange sense of exploration in his eyes, but gave him a "charming" smile: "Hehuan Sect suffered a great loss, but the eldest prince made a mistake, no one was killed or injured. However, Mr. Xue is afraid that he should pay attention to his plan recently. Now everyone has come back to his mind, so it is hard to guarantee that someone will remember the hatred on the young master."
"When I am in the martial arts world, how can I not be killed? Come on." Xue Mu said casually: "For the matter in the martial arts world, my sister will protect me. If it comes from the court... Anyway, General Xiahou will protect me."
Xiahou Di sneered: "You and I will cooperate with each other. Why do I protect you from things other than cooperation?"
Xue Mu said with ease: "Didn't the eldest prince's two or three things? General Xiahou told me? Mr. Xue just became the general arrester in his hand. General arrester cannot break the bridge across the river."
Eunuch Li and Xuan Zhe looked at each other with a cautious expression. Xue Qingqiu saw it and smiled. In fact, she had always understood the matter of being used as a gun, but she had to do it for others and herself. At this moment, everyone's reaction was obviously overwhelmed. How could I say this feeling... Finally, I felt that I was not much worse than Xue Mu, and I wanted to go together, so I felt a little relieved. If it was always like when Baihuayuan was in a mess just now, and Xue Mu had no idea and just dealt with it, I don't know if I would suspect that I was mentally retarded if I continued.
Xiahou Di narrowed his eyes and looked at Xue Mu for a while before sighing: "Actually, I have always believed that a person like Mr. Xue should not belong to the world, but it would be a pity not to be in the court. If you are interested, I can recommend you and find a position."
Xue Qingqiu's expression turned sharply in an instant.
"Then it's not necessary." Xue Mu laughed before Xue Qingqiu's attack and raised his glass to signal: "Xue is not interested in the court. But now he is a friend of the Chief Xiahou. If you can use Xue's place, just give me instructions."
"Oh?" Xiahou Di raised his glass, stopped on his lips but didn't drink, and whirled slightly: "Take the matter of the eldest prince, why did Mr. Xue help me since he didn't enter the court? I'm afraid he can't even figure out where our dispute is."
Although he expressed doubts, "I" became "me", which was considered to be acknowledging what Xue Mu meant as a "friend". Xue Mu smiled and said: "The ground in the capital is not easy, and the brothers below should always lose some benefits."
Xiahou Di was still spinning his cup, staring at Xue Mu with sharp eyes straight, waiting for the following text.
Xuan Zhe also had a solemn expression and attached great importance to this topic.
Xue Muxu said: "Originally, the Qinlou Chuguan Hotel and Casino, the yamen runners could make more or less profitable, and it was easy to find a sister... But some princes and nobles played monopoly, and the brothers lost the benefits, and they had complained for a long time. The chief of the chief was in his position, so he should also seek some benefits for the brothers."
Xiahou Di was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head, drank the wine in his glass, and signaled to Xue Mu again: "The young master is quite aware of the affairs of the clerks, which is unexpected. Unlike ordinary people in the martial arts world, most of them do not take clerks seriously."
The implication is to admit the conflict between himself and the eldest prince, as Xue Mu analyzed, at least this is one of the reasons.
Xue Mu also finished drinking and said with a smile: "Although Xue is in the world, there are people in the world, and the truth is often the same."
Xiahou Di shook his head and smiled: "That's right."
Xue Mu suddenly said, "But I think there is another saying that the head of the always-in-command likes to listen more."
Xiahou Di attached more and more importance to Xue Mu's words at this moment, and asked very seriously: "Which sentence?"
Xue Mu put on his own wine and said leisurely: "The world is nothing but a corner of the country."
Xiahou Di's beautiful eyes flashed with brilliant colors, Xuan Zhe held the wine glass tightly, and the two of them were moved at the same time.
The world is just a corner of the country, how can the people in the world be above the court? Isn’t it because of what Xiahou Di Xuanzhe asked for throughout his life? Xue Mu’s simple words were like a sharp sword piercing into the hearts of the two people, like drinking sour wine.
Eunuch Li glanced at Xue Qingqiu with an unpredictable expression. The scene was Xue Mu chattering. As the leader of the sect, Xue Qingqiu, who was the leader of the sect, actually let him play like a young wife. He didn't say a word, which simply subverted his cognition. But at this moment, Eunuch Li understood why Xue Mu could take the initiative. Look, even the hosts and guests of the six sects have been changed. What's so strange about Xue Mu being able to dominate in front of his sister?
