The next morning.

As the day for the general election of the head of the family slowly approaches, some unknown variables are also increasing.

Early in the morning, Kong Zhenxuan came to Ning Yan and gave Ning Yan very bad news.

"Sir, the situation in the Patriarch's election this time is very unfavorable to us. I have just received news that on the day of the Patriarch's election, Qingzhou Shepherd Yu Baijie will come to Qiancheng Mountain." Kong Zhenxuan said with a frown.

"What is Qingzhou Mu doing? The election for the position of the head of the family is an internal matter of the Kong family. How can he, a state pastor, come here to point fingers? Moreover, he is also an official of the imperial court. If he openly comes to the Kong family like this, he will not be afraid of Yindu becoming suspicious.

"?" Ning Xiaochuan frowned.

Kong Chen

I came here just to put on a show for the disciples to see who is the most suitable head of the family."

"This is not going to be easy. This is the Qingzhou shepherd. Once Kong Zhendao fails to win the election as the head of the family, it will be a slap in the face, and maybe the Kong family will be targeted in Qingzhou in the future." Ning Xiaochuan

Shen Shen said, it is indeed the case. The state pastor is here to support you, but he never thought about you and refused to give you face. This is not a slap in the face.

"Kong Zhendao really spent a lot of money for the position of the head of the family. He is trying to push the Kong family into the abyss." Kong Zhenxuan said angrily.

"It's meaningless to think about this now. We have to find a way to see Yu Baijie and stop him from coming to Qiancheng." Ning Xiaochuan said seriously.

Kong Zhenxuan nodded thoughtfully, "The Prefectural Mufu is in Lindaocheng. Lindaocheng is far away from Qiancheng. It takes at least three days to go back and forth. I'm afraid it's too late for us to go now."

"Young Master, Young Master..." While the two were talking, Nie Hongyi walked in.

"What happened?" Looking at Nie Hongyi's anxious look, Ning Xiaochuan was startled.

"Kong Zhendao asked you and Mr. Kong to go to the mountain gate. He said that there are important guests visiting," Nie Hongyi said with her hands in hand.

Ning Xiaochuan and Kong Zhenxuan looked at each other with doubts on their faces, "Important guest?"

"I heard from my disciples that he seems to be Qingzhou Mu."

"Yu Baijie..."

…

At the foot of Qiancheng Mountain.

I saw a group of Qingzhou soldiers guarding a carriage walking towards Qiancheng Mountain. These Qingzhou soldiers were holding spears and leading the way. Right in front of these guards was a woman. The woman was dressed in purple and had long hair tied up in her head.

At the back, there is a silver bow on the back, which looks extremely cool.

The woman looked at the Qiancheng Mountain in front of her, her eyes filled with resentment. Thinking of the scene in the forest yesterday, her face turned red.

After a while, a Qingzhou soldier came to the woman's side on horseback and bowed his hands respectfully, "Miss, please let me pass."

The woman had no choice but to sigh and patted the neck of the white horse beneath her. The white horse seemed to understand the Qingzhou soldiers' words and turned around to the carriage.

The window of the carriage was slowly opened. The woman had no choice but lowered her head and shouted, "Dad."

"Look at all the girls in this street who are as ostentatious as you are. They will soon be at the Confucian family. Confucianism has strict rules, especially for women. Come in quickly, don't let those Confucian gentlemen think that I, Yu Baijie, have no way to teach a daughter.

." Yu Baijie's clear voice came from the carriage.

Hearing Yu Baijie's voice, the woman reluctantly held up her hands and said, "I'll get back in the car when we get to the top of the mountain. It's too stuffy in the carriage, and I don't want to be bored up the mountain like this."

"And take off your bow. What's wrong with a girl carrying a broken bow all day long?" Yu Baijie said again, "When you get to the mountain, pay attention to your words and deeds, otherwise you won't even think about going out next time.

.”

Hearing the woman pouting speechlessly, taking off the silver moon bow and putting it on the horse, she snorted unhappily, "Yeah, I got it."

When Yu Baijie's carriage arrived at the top of Qiancheng Mountain, Kong Zhendao, Kong Zhenshi and Kong Zhenxuan had been waiting at the mountain gate for a long time. Of course, there was a young figure beside Kong Zhenxuan, who was naturally

Ning Xiaochuan.

In fact, logically, Ning Xiaochuan doesn't have to come forward, but thinking that the key to the election of the head of the Kong family lies in Yu Baijie, it is more appropriate to meet the Zhou Mu.

With the appearance of the Qingzhou soldiers, Kong Zhendao's originally solemn expression relaxed significantly. As soon as Yu Baijie's carriage stopped, Kong Zhendao couldn't wait to step up.

Standing outside the carriage, he cupped his hands and said, "Sir Yu, I've been hoping for the stars and the moon and finally you are here. It's really easy for me to wait."

The curtain of the carriage slowly opened, and Yu Baijie bowed and walked out. This Yu Baijie was dressed in brocade clothes, with long hair tied behind his head, and a long beard. He seemed to be in his late teens, but his eyebrows gave people a kind of

Inviolable majesty.

"Mr. Kong, you are very polite. Since it is your invitation, I will come over no matter how busy I am. Besides, regarding the election of the head of the Kong family, it is my blessing that you can think of me. There is no reason why I should not come."

?" Yu Baijie stepped out of the carriage and said with a smile.

This Yu Baijie is also a veteran in officialdom, and what he said is flawless. Kong Zhendao was very happy to hear this, "Thank you for your support, sir."

Just after Yu Baijie came out, another woman in purple came out. When Ning Xiaochuan was thinking about how to say hello to Yu Baijie, he glanced and suddenly saw the woman coming out of Yu Baijie's carriage. At this sight, he was immediately stunned.

I was stunned, how could it be her?

Similarly, Kong Zhendao also saw the woman and asked in confusion, "Master Yu, this is..."

Yu Baijie pulled the woman over and introduced her with a smile: "This is our little girl Xi Ning, Xi Ning. I have met several gentlemen before."

Yu Xining bowed to Kong Zhendao and the others, "My little girl has met several gentlemen."

Kong Zhendao smiled cheerfully and said, "As expected of your daughter, she behaves elegantly and generously."

Yu Baijie smiled helplessly, which is what Kong Zhendao said. After being praised, Yu Xining lowered her head and smiled, looking a bit like a lady.

As Yu Baijie's eyes shifted, after greeting Kong Zhenshi and Kong Zhenxuan, his eyes came to Ning Xiaochuan. Yu Baijie looked at Ning Xiaochuan curiously, "This young master is a bit unfamiliar."

Ning Xiaochuan quickly raised his hands and saluted, "Ning Xiaochuan, I would like to pay my respects to Mr. Yu."

The moment she heard the name Ning Xiaochuan, Yu Xining raised her head and couldn't believe that she would meet such a prostitute in such a formal occasion.

Then Kong Zhendao, who was next to him, came over. Although he was unhappy, he still explained: "Sir, this young master is the fifth young master of the Duke Li family. He just arrived in Qiancheng a few days ago."

"It turns out that he is a young master from the Duke Li's family. It's really a pleasure to meet him. It seems that Qiancheng Mountain is really lively today." Yu Baijie said with a smile.

Ning Xiaochuan glanced at Yu Xining and felt panicked. He didn't expect that this little girl was actually Zhou Mu's daughter. Now he was in trouble. He actually took advantage of Zhou Mu's daughter.

At this time, Yu Xining did not expect that Ning Xiaochuan was really not a Confucian disciple, but the son of the Duke of Li Kingdom.

Although he is the daughter of a state shepherd, he is the prince of the country. He slapped this guy yesterday, but he doesn't blame himself. He was the first to be rude and peeked at her bathing.

Thinking of this, Yu Xining looked straight at Ning Xiaochuan, as if she wanted to look good if she dared to talk too much.

Ning Xiaochuan lowered his head in disbelief. He was indeed the first to be rude. Kong Zhenxuan looked at Ning Xiaochuan and then at Yu Xining's reaction, feeling that there was something in it.

"Xining, come and see the Crown Prince Li Guo." Yu Baijie said to Yu Xining.

But this scene undoubtedly made Kong Zhendao unhappy. After all, the purpose of inviting Yu Baijie was to help him in battle, and he did not want Ning Xiaochuan to get involved with Yu Baijie.

Yu Xining came to Ning Xiaochuan, pouted, and tried to force out a smile, "Master Ning is really a talented person..."

Ning Xiaochuan awkwardly raised his hands and responded, "Miss Yu, you're welcome."

"Sir, you've had a hard journey, please come with me and rest first." Kong Zhendao said politely.

A group of people followed Kong Zhendao into the mansion. When Yu Xining entered, she did not forget to give Ning Xiaochuan a meaningful look. Ning Xiaochuan shrugged helplessly. Now they were in trouble. They chased them home.

…

Kong Zhendao was very polite to Yu Baijie's arrival and prepared a sumptuous dinner to entertain Yu Baijie.

At the dinner, Kong Zhendao gave Yu Baijie a hard blow. In the end, he was so flattering that even Yu Baijie himself couldn't bear to listen to it.

The moon was sparse and the evening breeze in the forest was accompanied by a gentle breeze. Ning Xiaochuan breathed a long sigh of relief. The dinner party was finally over.

"I didn't expect you to be the eldest son of Duke Li." Yu Xining's voice came from behind. Ning Xiaochuan followed the voice and turned around to look back, and happened to see Yu Xining.

Yu Xining looks particularly beautiful under the moonlight today. She is a somewhat cold beauty, and she is particularly charming under the moonlight.

"I didn't expect you to be Qingzhou Mu's daughter." Ning Xiaochuan said sarcastically.

Yu Xining sat directly next to Ning Xiaochuan, holding her chin in one hand, "Looking at you, you don't seem to like this old Confucian gentleman who only knows how to brag."

"Actually, Mr. Confucianism is not all like this." Ning Xiaochuan said slowly, "I just didn't expect Mr. Zhou Mu to be on good terms with him."

"My father can't help it. When my father was not a state pastor, he studied in Confucianism and was taken care of by others. Besides, after so many years, Confucianism has not asked my father for anything. This time, I finally spoke.

Of course, dad will come once, just treat it as a return of the invitation." Yu Xining said helplessly.

Indeed, it is easy to repay anything in this world, except for favors.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at Yu Xining and suddenly smiled.

Yu Xining was confused by Ning Xiaochuan's smile and looked at Ning Xiaochuan with disgust, "Why are you laughing?"

Ning Xiaochuan looked at Yu Xining and said, "If possible, I would like to meet your father."

"Meet my father?" Yu Xining looked at Ning Xiaochuan cautiously, especially when she saw Ning Xiaochuan's smile, she felt that things were not that simple.
