Yanyulou

The first pass, so flippant, so intriguing.

Li Ziye would not admit that he gave the gift.

Qin Grace would not admit that she let the water go because she accepted the gift.

At sunset, Qin Grace left, and before leaving, she uttered the second test.

Within a day, he created a set of sword techniques.

"Send the sub-question."

After Li Ziye heard it, he only said three words.

Even the people in Yuzhou City are telling that he created a set of swordsmanship called Tai Chi when he was ten years old, and this question is to give points.

Lao Qin also took great pains to release the water.

"Son, are you sure?"

Li Wanwan said excitedly when he saw his son's calm appearance.

"Nine times out of ten."

Li Ziye waved his hand casually, and immediately went to the backyard to continue fishing.

"pass?"

In the backyard, by the lake, Zhang Sloppy was still resting with his eyes closed, sensing Li Ziye's arrival, and asked.

"pass."

Li Ziye nodded.

"Only with your broken sword made of gold?"

This time, it was Zhang Sloppy who was surprised. He opened his eyes and asked.

"Of course, not possible."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "Yesterday, Miss Youwei sent Lao Qin an East China Sea Night Pearl, a Silkworm Soft Armor, and the Fish Intestine Sword. My old Li spent a lot of money this time. "

"Fish intestine sword?"

Zhang Sloppy sat up and said in surprise, "Yuchangjian is in the Li residence?"

"if not."

Li Ziye picked up a stone and threw it into the lake, saying, "If you don't take out some housekeeping treasures, how can Lao Qin release the water?"

"I admire you."

Zhang Sloppy was really convinced this time, and said with emotion, "Sure enough, money can turn ghosts around, and Qin Grace, such an extraordinary and refined character, can't be exempt."

"We're all human, so why pretend to be innocent."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "Old Qin is indeed an extraordinary person, so the price we offered is also extraordinary."

"What about the second test?" Zhang Sloppy asked curiously.

"In one day, create a set of sword techniques." Li Ziye said.

""

Zhang Sloppy was speechless. He might have been suspicious just now, but now he was sure that Qin Grace was letting her go.

"I don't understand, I don't understand."

Zhang Sloppy looked at the sparkling lake in front of him, and said, "Then Qin Grace has always cherished her reputation, isn't she afraid that she will eventually take a dude as her apprentice, and her reputation will be ruined for the rest of her life?"

"Of course she's afraid, otherwise why hasn't she made a decision after traveling half the Shang Dynasty?"

Li Ziye smiled softly, and said, "It's not because I spent so much money to spread rumors."

"so what?"

Zhang Sloppy frowned and said, "Qin Grace will not believe that you are the peerless genius in legend just based on rumors."

"When she came, she believed it, at least part of it."

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Li Ziye's mouth, and he said, "You don't understand, Lao Zhang. This is called a psychological suggestion. Why are there so many foolish emperors in the past dynasties, and they really can't tell right from wrong? Of course not. Most of the time, if you don’t believe it, you will believe it.”

Having said that, Li Ziye picked up another stone, threw it into the lake, and said, "Actually, the question that Lao Qin asked today was influenced by rumors. It is also very difficult for a master of swordsmanship to do it, and Lao Qin had doubts, so he naturally wanted to see if it was true, and if it was true, it would be worthwhile for a peerless genius like me to be so sensible as a disciple."

On the side, Zhang Sloppy listened to the words of the young man beside him, fell silent for a long time, and said, "Boy, I really underestimated you before. Your strengths are not only your skin and family background."

This kid's ability to guess people's hearts is really terrifying.

It wasn't Qin Grace who was releasing the water, but this kid was guiding Qin Grace to release the water.

"Actually, Lao Zhang, you don't underestimate me."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "Most things in the world can be settled with money, but money can't. I still have this skin. Look, my appearance is not very bluffing. What do you say?" Said, looks good, not bad, I stand on the street and say that I am a waste without any cultivation talent, who will believe it?"

When he was speaking, Li Ziye stood quietly by the lake with his head held high, his black hair fluttering in the breeze, his eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars.

Zhang Sloppy was silent, this kid was right, judging from his looks, this kid was really bluffing, otherwise he wouldn't have lost his eye before.

Practitioners, except for those reckless men who practice their physical bodies, are basically good-looking, especially those who are the pride of heaven, and even if they are not good-looking, the temperament accumulated over a long period of time is enough to make up for it.

Just like him, when he was young, he was a handsome young man who was popular among thousands of girls.

Zhang Sloppy took a sip of his wine, gloating in his heart.

That Qin Grace will fall!

It's a real joy.

Who wouldn't want to see the fairy lose her composure and the emperor get beaten?

It's really hard to imagine what kind of expression Qin Grace had when she learned that this kid couldn't practice martial arts?

"By the way, Lao Zhang, how did you think about the matter I told you earlier?" Li Ziye asked, changing the subject.

"Enter Li's mansion and become the seat of the Li manor?"

Zhang Sloppy smiled lightly and said, "Boy, the Li family is indeed rich in money and has a lot of fine wines, but I am used to being free, old man, and I can't stay in a good place for long. Besides, your Li family is mainly engaged in business. My thugs are enough to deal with most troubles, why spend a lot of money to support me, a bad old man."

"That was in the past."

A little coldness flashed in Li Ziye's calm eyes, and he said, "A tree beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Ten years ago, the Li family was just a wealthy businessman's family, and no one cared about it. However, today's Li family has His wealth has been feared by many people, including the Lord of the Great Merchants in the Fengtian Temple in the Shang capital, and according to the latest information, the third prince Mu Yao has come to Yuzhou City, and he probably wants to find an opportunity to attack my Li family."

"Hearing what you said, Li's residence is indeed a bit dangerous. In this case, my old man has to think carefully about it."

Zhang Sloppy took a sip of his wine and said, "It's not a good thing to be targeted by the royal family. Your father is not young, and you are a son who has nothing to do all day long. You never care about family affairs. Once your father has something It's hard to support such a big Li family just based on your innocent-looking sister-in-law."

"Pure nature?"

Li Ziye was startled, and then a strange look appeared on his face.

Miss Youwei?

What a perfect description!

Li's study.

Li Wanwan looked at the account books that Li Youwei sent, and after reading them briefly, he put them down.

"Well done."

Li Wanwan smiled and said, "After years of hard work, your business talent has surpassed that of my adoptive father."

"It's all thanks to my younger brother."

Li Youwei said softly, "If it weren't for his invention of perfume, soap, mirrors and other things that don't exist in the world, Li's mansion is just an ordinary merchant's house up to now."

"Unfortunately, Zi Yezhi is not here."

Li Wanwan sighed softly, and said, "Since he was a child, he wanted to take the path of martial arts, and he has never been interested in doing business."

"As long as the little brother wants, even the stars in the sky, I will pick them for him." Li Youwei said slowly.

"You, always spoil him so much."

Li Wanwan said helplessly, "Youwei, do you know about the third prince Mu Yao coming to Yuzhou City?"

"I know." Li Youwei nodded.

"He came here at the behest of the Emperor of the Great Shang, to check out our Li family's background." Li Wanwan said.

"He won't find out anything." Li Youwei said calmly.

"and also."

Li Wanwan said slowly, "Mu Yao is good at swords, and probably wants to worship Qin Grace as his teacher."

When Li Youwei heard the words, the coldness in her eyes that were still calm just now was great, and she said every word, "I sent someone to kill him, and I guarantee that it will be clean, and there will be no trace left."

""

Li Wanwan smiled wryly, and said, "Don't be so impulsive when you mention Ziye's matter. Ziye must have known about this matter. If he didn't express his position, he is sure that he can win against the third prince. All you have to do is be more cautious." , don’t let this person find out what we don’t want the royal family to know.”

"Yes, foster father."

Li Youwei nodded and didn't argue anymore.

At night, the moon is shining brightly, and the night is charming.

At Yuelai Inn, there was a knock on the door, and then a handsome young man in brocade clothes walked into Qin Aina's room.

The person who came was none other than the current Third Prince of the Great Shang, Mu Yao.

In Mu Yao's hand, he was holding a wooden box. Inside the box, an ancient sword was displayed. The sword was in its sheath, and the cold air loomed.

"Fairy, this is my answer." Mu Yao said seriously.

"Famous Sword Cold Light."

Qin Grace glanced at the ancient sword in the box, didn't look any further, and said calmly, "The third prince's attack is really extraordinary, you pass this test."

Mu Yao had heard it, and although he was happy in his heart, his face was still calm, with no expression of emotion or anger.

This first test is not difficult, the key lies in the attitude of this Plum Blossom Sword Immortal.

If she is willing, even a piece of scrap iron can pass the test.

He is the Prince of the Great Shang, so even the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal has to show some face, the first level will not be too difficult.

As for his willingness to donate the famous sword Hanguang, he wanted to impress Plum Blossom Sword Immortal and lay the foundation for the next two tests.

"You should know about the second test."

Qin Graa stared at the third prince of the Great Shang in front of her, and said calmly, "Before sunset tomorrow, wait for me at Li's Mansion."

"Li House?"

Mu Yao's expression froze when he heard the words, and he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it anyway, bowed and left the room immediately.

In the room, the candlelight was beating, and Qin Grace was standing in front of the window, looking at the quiet night of Yuzhou City, her glamorous face did not carry a trace of worldly aura.

And behind Qin Grace, two wooden boxes were quietly placed on the table. Inside the wooden box, there was cold light and fish intestines, and two famous swords. Under the candlelight, the air was very cold.

The long night passed silently.

The next day.

The sun rises, thin clouds cover the sun.

The Li Mansion welcomes the most distinguished guest ever.

The third prince of the Great Shang, Mu Yao.

"What an honor, what an honor!"

In the front hall, Li Wanwan personally received him, his face was full of joy, his belly was trembling with laughter.

Mu Yao looked at the richest person in the Great Shang Dynasty in front of him, and treated him equally politely, responding with a smile on his face.

After chatting for a long time, Mu Yao glanced outside and said with a smile, "I don't know if your master is in the house?"

"Dog?"

Li Wanwan smiled even more when he heard the words, and said, "The dog is not talented. Caomin was afraid that he would be too reckless to startle His Highness, so he didn't let him come to the front yard. Since His Highness wants to see him, Caomin will send someone to see him." Call him."

After finishing speaking, Li Wanwan got up and shouted outside, "Go and call the young master, and say that His Royal Highness the Third Prince has summoned you."

"Yes!"

Outside the lobby, the servants took orders and walked quickly to the backyard.

"The third prince wants to see me?"

In the backyard, by the lake, Li Ziye, who was fishing, heard the servant's report, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his smile was as bright as a flower blooming.
