"So fast?"

A cold light flashed in Triangle's eyes. Xiao Hou clasped the wine cup tightly with his hands, and did not get up.

"Probably not."

Sima Jin stopped An Bochen who was about to inquire and spoke.

The three of them knew that the person who came was either the left prime minister or the palace. There was no possibility of starting a move at this time, whether it was reasonable or not, but if the three of them were distracted and showed flaws, it would be like falling into the trap. What's more, a few days ago, "Young Master Li" used the excuse of recuperation and refused to visit guests, so he could only wait and see what happened.

The sound of horse hooves gradually became smaller, but the team stopped in front of Moyun Tower. After passing by a little while, the knocking sounded, and a servant opened the door to greet him.

"Xiao Anzi, you go to pick up the customers... You go to ask for the sick young master Li."

Upon hearing this, An Bochen nodded. Although Xiao Hou managed the big and small matters in the building these days, An Bochen was the one who came forward to handle it, and it was him who should go now.

"Bo Chen, don't panic. No matter who comes, the calmer you are, the more you can make the other party unable to find out the details. Remember to welcome someone with a smile."

Xiao Hou instructed.

Without further ado, An Bochen got up and went downstairs. Moyun Tower had seven floors in total. On weekdays, An Bochen could run downstairs with just a short while, but he walked very slowly.

The heavy rain was still falling, the sky was gray, and An Bochen looked calm, but he felt very upset. He turned his head and looked out the window. The sky was low and the clouds were thick, as if he was about to fall down in the blink of an eye, crushing the pavilion that was so majestic.

This is just the beginning...

Sighing softly, An Bochen had already walked to the bottom floor and looked up. A hundred horses were parked neatly outside the building. The horse knight was wearing exquisite armor, his helmet was only exposed, and he held a long halberd. He was the Yulin Army guarding the royal palace.

"Brother An..."

The servant who opened the door looked at Amberchen nervously, and was about to say something, but Amberchen stopped him.

"I'll deal with it."

With his feet raised, An Bochen walked over with a calm expression. As soon as he stepped out of Moyun Tower, a faint smile appeared on his cheeks and bowed to the head general.

"The young master is sick and has not yet woken up. He has neglected the general and hopes to forgive him."

"No gift."

The general looked slightly pale, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and his face was exhausted.

It's no wonder that they were killed by Duke Huo last night, and it was a blessing that they could survive.

An Bochen said in his heart, just as he was about to say something, he heard the general ask suddenly.

"Who are you?"

"The youngest one is An Bochen, a servant who held the ink in front of the young master."

An Bochen replied in a humble and arrogant manner. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt countless gazes shot at him, all of whom had just experienced a fight, and his eyes were still filled with murderous aura, which made An Bochen feel very uncomfortable.

Oh no, may you know my secret?

An Bochen forced himself to calm down, smiling, but his heartbeats faster and faster, and he was nervous.

Just as he was so nervous that he was almost breathless, he heard the general in front of him laughing suddenly, with a slightly strange voice.

"So, you are Amberchen?"

Upon hearing this, An Bochen's heart suddenly rose to his throat, widened his eyes, and looked at the general nervously.

"I can't tell you, you actually shot Master Li's two maces with one shot."

The following sentence came out, and An Bochen breathed a little relieved and thought to himself that what happened last night had spread early this morning. The mouths of the aristocratic families were really too late to be idle for a moment.

However, the following sentence made An Bochen feel hung up again.

"You made an appointment with the young master of the Li family to decide what a male and female matter is known. The emperor has specially ordered someone to come and pass the imperial edict. Five days later, he will perform martial arts at the Liujing Grand Hall. At that time, the emperor will personally lead a minister in the court to watch the battle, and those who win will also receive a heavy reward."

After saying that, the general took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to An Bochen, patted his shoulder with a smile, and then turned around and left.

......

"Decide male and female... Xiao Anzi, it will depend on whether you are female or male in five days."

On the seventh floor of Moyun Tower, Sima Jin teased An Bochen and said, "Yu Guangluo looked at Xiao Hou who was looking at Wang Zhi. He saw him gently stroke his beard and frown. He only stretched out until the end of the roll, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"This left prime minister is really a good method."

Sima Jin was thinking, while An Bochen looked confused. He was about to ask a question, but when Xiao Hou narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

"Bo Chen, I'll test you. Why did the Lord ask someone to pass the order personally?"

Amberchen shook his head.

"Duke Huo's actions last night will definitely spread to Liujing and even the Liuguo. Duke Huo is a veteran of the three dynasties and one of the few famous generals in Dakuang today. If the rebellion fails to achieve the right laws, once this news comes out, it will only take at least three or four years to recover from the people of Liuguo's hearts and morale."

Upon hearing this, An Bochen thought for a moment and hesitated.

"Maybe the Lord wants to use the battle between me and the Li family's young master to turn everyone's eyes to us?"

“This is just one of them.”

Sima Jin jerked.

"No matter how happy you fight, it is not as shocking as Duke Huo's death. The reason why this Lord Liu issued an order quickly was to attract the attention of the people of Liu first and turn his attention to Mo Yunlou. On the one hand, he made Prince Li not dare to act rashly, and on the other hand, he took the opportunity to build momentum for the appointment five days later."

After looking at Xiao Hou, Sima Jin hesitated.

"Just judging by this fast horse's order, Liujun seems to intend to create a famous general of Liujun after Duke Huo's death. With Duke Huo's previous experience, I will definitely choose from aristocratic families. The prince of the Li family comes from a famous family and is quite famous among the princes in the capital. He has great skills. It seems that Liujun wants to praise him."

Xiao Hou nodded, but said with a wry smile.

"Miss Hongfu said very much. If Mr. Liu wants to praise that Mr. Li, he will definitely exaggerate Bo Chen first. I guess when the rain stops, Bo Chen's name will probably spread in the capital. According to the current situation, we need to avoid the limelight and cater to the Lord's wishes. In terms of emotion and reason, Bo Chen will lose beautifully in this battle. But..."

Shaking his head, Xiao Hou threw the king's order in front of Sima Jin. Sima Jin flipped through it, his face calm at first, but at the end, his body trembled slightly.

"The winner can ask the Lord for reward..."

From An Bochen's perspective, you can clearly see the surprise flashing through Sima Jin's eyes.

An Bochen was a little puzzled and realized in a flash. If he won and asked the Lord for reward, wouldn’t he be able to get Jiuchen back? If he got Jiuchen, he would get the secret book of the immortal. It was also Sima Jin’s final purpose of this trip to Liujing.

For some reason, Sima Jin's flash of surprise appeared in his mind. An Bochen felt a little sad. He felt that the rainy day was much more stuffy, so he heard Sima Jin continue to recite.

"Since the Liujing Grand Cathedral is the battlefield, both sides need to pay the lottery. If Li Lin is defeated, the Li family will donate a thousand taels of gold and be responsible for repairing the palace. If Anbo Chen is defeated, Li Gongzi will be responsible for repairing the palace and return the two promises owed by the king at that time..."

After closing the king's order, Sima Jin looked out the window, his eyes flashing.

"The bronze horse carries gold and silver, and the light song is gone for the emperor... I thought that all the three promises left the young master, but I only used one, but the remaining two were equivalent to amulets. As long as I didn't use them for a day, Mo Yunlou was still a transcendent existence in Liujing."

"That's right, but once this amulet is taken back by Liujun, Mr. Li and Mo Yunlou will be thrown into the mortal world. Perhaps the left prime minister is preparing to tear his face and face the arrangement in front of Mr. Fu Liu."

Xiao Hou interjected, showing a worried look on his face.

Even if An Bochen doesn't understand conspiracy anymore, he already knows most of the time when the two said this.

The current situation is a dilemma, the key lies in the battle he will fight five days later. If he wins, he will miss the Lord's will. Even if he doesn't say anything at this time, he will definitely make things difficult for him in the future. But if he loses, if Mr. Li is not Li, and Mo Yunlou is not Mo Yunlou, it may cause disasters of family destruction at any time, and the three of them are in danger.

There is a dilemma, and it is dangerous to advance and retreat. The Lord is unpredictable, and there is an even more unpredictable left prime minister eyeing him. As soon as Duke Huo died, An Bochen was already at the forefront, but he never thought of it.

"What if it's unbeaten."

Hesitating, An Bochen asked.

Xiao Hou's eyes lit up and became dimmed in an instant.

"As Miss Hongfu said, what the emperor wants is that the young master of the Li family will become famous. The draw seems to be effective, but it is not..."

“Not necessarily.”

Sima Jin's eyes flashed and she said in the air.

"If Liu Jun just wanted Li Lin to shine, why did he give the lottery?"

"Miss Hongfu means...Young Shang is also in a dilemma at this time. Should you attack Mo Yunlou?"

As he pondered, Xiao Hou played with the wine cup, and his eyes flashed.

"If this is true, then all this is not difficult to explain. The last lottery must be the result of the Zuo Prime Minister, in order to deal with Prince Li. Although the emperor has the intention to promote Li Lin, he may not be able to bear to see Prince Li who was drinking and talking to him back then fall. The Zuo Prime Minister asked him a difficult problem, and he threw it to us. They all said that the emperor could not guess thoroughly, but there was no need to guess some of the thoughts."

From time to time, he glanced at An Bochen and said meaningfully.

Sima Jin, who was standing by, could see clearly and knew that Mr. Xiao wanted to pass on his wisdom and strategies to An Bochen in his words and talks, subtly, but he could not be guarded. Just stay with Mr. Xiao for three or two months, with Mr. An Bochen's comprehension, his wisdom should make rapid progress, and at the same time, his heart will gradually become unpredictable.

If Xiao Anzi can make progress, it would be a good thing for the current situation, but Sima Jin always feels a little uncomfortable.

Perhaps I couldn't bear to see the originally simple boy gradually falling into this whirlpool, stained with mud, just like her.

However, then again, if he hadn't forced him to stay in the capital for the secret book of the immortal, he would have returned to that quiet little village, so he would have experienced so many things and so many changes that happened without knowing whether it was a blessing or a disaster.

After looking at the simple boy who was stunned and thinking about his thoughts, a trace of inexplicable flashed across Sima Jin's eyes.

If he could always be like this, it would be simple, how good would it be.

The girl turned her head, crossed the heavy rain like a curtain, looked at the end of the ink clouds from afar, her eyes flashed, and after a while, she murmured softly.

"Women are good at thinking and have their own actions. They are willing to be more important than others. They are childish and crazy. I walk in the wild, and I am soaring to the big country. Who is anxious because of whom..."
