Li Mingyue finally decided to go with only the old groom.
After all, this matter is not a trivial matter. He might even die, so he can't let Jiang Hu and Wang Su take the risk with him. The little devil will have no effect, let alone the black panther, but the old horseman is super powerful, so the worst is
You can also protect yourself.
Of course, Li Mingyue did not inform the two of them of the specific situation, and it was unknown whether they could guess it.
In the evening, Li Mingyue and the old horseman walked one behind the other towards Beicheng.
Li Mingyue changed into a clean blue gown and carried the mahogany sword that almost cost her life when she was in Luoshan. The old groom, wearing a gray robe, followed behind, walking neither fast nor slow.
After walking along the main road in the city for a while, people on both sides of the street hung up lanterns and lit candles. Above the sky, there was a crescent moon and a few stars.
After walking for a while and entering Beicheng, Li Mingyue couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but the old groom seemed very calm and asked with a smile: "Master, is there something on your mind?"
Li Mingyue was stunned, shook her head, and said, "I just feel a little unsure."
The old groom smiled and said, "Young master, you haven't made up your mind yet?"
Li Mingyue was stunned.
The old horseman continued: "Since you have made up your mind, there is no need to think about anything else."
Li Mingyue nodded and said nothing, and the old horseman did not continue to speak, but just followed Li Mingyue and continued moving forward.
The evening breeze blew by, bringing with it a hint of heat, which was the residual warmth left by the scorching sun on the earth during the day.
Li Mingyue stopped and raised her head slightly to look at a plaque on the attic in front of her. The three characters "Ya Ya Xuan" were vigorous and powerful, shining with golden light under the influence of the lights. Two gold lacquer couplets were carved on the pillars of the gate, which read "Ya Ya Xuan".
The two words "elegant and popular" are explained respectively. Ya refers to immortal treasures, immortals, and the fairy world; vulgar refers to gold and silver, refers to mortals, and refers to the human world. One up and one down means that Yasuxuan serves as a link between the previous and the following, making people feel like becoming immortals.
It doesn't feel that far away.
Li Mingyue actually showed a smile, and then walked over, her steps suddenly seemed to become much easier.
In the hall, the lights are brightly lit, and there is a constant flow of people coming and going.
As Li Mingyue and the two walked in, they were quickly submerged in the crowd without causing any waves at all.
In the hall, there are various rare treasures placed, and each item has a clearly marked price. If people like something, they only need to put the corresponding money next to it to take the item away, and then someone will
Take the money away and replace it with other items.
Li Mingyue walked around and did not go directly to buy the so-called golden dragon wood, because according to the information Wang Su heard, this thing would appear in the form of an auction tonight, but the auction time was not yet available, so Li Mingyue wanted to try it.
I'm just trying to get lucky and see if I can find one or two things I need. I just looked around and didn't see anything worth buying.
There were many people like Li Mingyue in the hall, probably all here for the auction. At this time, a beautiful maid came to Li Mingyue and asked in a low voice: "Who are you, Master Li?"
Li Mingyue was stunned, looked at the maid, and nodded.
The maid continued: "My master, please ask Mr. Li Xian to step aside and explain."
Li Mingyue frowned slightly and looked behind her. On the attic on the second floor, a man wearing a snow-white gown happened to be looking this way. When Li Mingyue's eyes came over, he raised the wine glass in his hand.
He showed a smile as a greeting.
Li Mingyue did not refuse, followed the maid upstairs, spared a corridor, and came to the man's side.
As Li Mingyue and the two arrived, the man also stood up to greet them and said with a smile: "I have long heard that Master Li Xian is extremely beautiful, and I saw it today. The rumors are indeed true."
Li Mingyue replied: "Your Excellency is either rich or noble. If I guessed correctly, you should be a member of the royal family, right?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Master Li Xian's eyes are as sharp as a torch. I, Tuoba Hong, have some similarities with Master Li. They are both emperor's uncles. The difference is that Master Li is a disciple of the immortal, while I am just a disciple of the immortal."
Just a common man."
Having said this, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to exit.
After everyone exited, only the man who called himself Tuoba Hong and Li Mingyue's master and servant were left here.
Tuoba Hong glanced at the old groom, then motioned for Li Mingyue to sit down, while saying: "Master Li Xian is here just for that golden dragon wood, right?"
Li Mingyue smiled and said, "It seems like it's really bait."
Tuoba Hong said with a smile: "Since Master Li needs it, with the power of the royal family, he can naturally find it, not to mention Jiuyi Mountain."
Li Mingyue couldn't help but feel a little heavier in her heart. She originally thought that the Jinyang royal family was planning it alone, but now it seems that Jiuyi Mountain is also involved, which means that the situation she has to face is far more difficult than she imagined.
After Li Mingyue sat down, she asked puzzledly: "Your Excellency invited me to come here, and then told me this, what do you want me to do?"
Tuoba Hong smiled slightly and said: "I said that we have a lot in common, so although I am just a mortal, I also want to imitate Master Li Xian's feats, but unfortunately I am powerless, so I want to cooperate with Master Li.
"
Li Mingyue frowned slightly, looked at Emperor Jinyang's uncle in disbelief, and asked, "Do you want to replace him?"
Tuoba Hong picked up the wine glass and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Li Mingyue couldn't help but be shocked. This guy wanted to rebel, and he told himself so openly, which was somewhat unbelievable.
Tuoba Hong continued: "As an emperor, I will benefit Master Li and the Tang Dynasty without any harm. At least I will not do any harm to Master Li. Of course, Master Li will not believe it, but Master Li might as well think about it from another angle.
If the emperor is changed, Jin Yang will definitely have a lot of things to deal with in a short period of time, so he will naturally have no time to take care of Master Li. At that time, the only threat to Master Li will be Taoism, so it will naturally be much easier for Master Li to deal with it."
He raised his eyes and looked at Li Mingyue, and continued: "And I can also help Master Li survive tonight's long-planned murder."
Li Mingyue drank all the wine in his hand, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I will disappoint the prince. I am just an outsider. I really have no interest in grudges in the world. This is against the teachings of my family. As for you,
Whatever plans your Majesty has with Jiuyi Mountain, I, Li Mingyue, will take over. What will happen then? Will the prince benefit from it? That is also the prince's own business and has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, he stood up and saluted: "Thank you for the wine, Your Majesty, and thank you for your kindness. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Tuoba Hong was a little stunned. He didn't seem to expect that Li Mingyue would reject him, or he didn't expect that Li Mingyue would reject him so quickly. He couldn't react for a while, so he could only stand up in confusion and return the greeting. After walking down from the attic, the old groom said in confusion:
"Why did the young master reject him so quickly?"
Li Mingyue looked back and said: "This guy gives me a very dangerous feeling. It's not that he is scary, but that he is surrounded by cause and effect. It's not a good thing to get too close. The most important thing is that he didn't do anything at all.
The emperor's destiny, if he does not have this destiny, but has this idea, the end will often not be good."
The old horseman was stunned and looked at Li Mingyue in disbelief.
Li Mingyue continued: "I can only see so much for the time being, and I can't see anything more."
The old horseman smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the young master can know the art of looking at the qi."
Li Mingyue said: "After integrating the Li Pearl, I can capture some. Tuoba Hong has too many karma, so I can see more."
The old horseman said: "Wouldn't this be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Mingyue nodded and said: "Maybe, but I can't interfere. Since some things are already running according to the established trajectory, if I interfere, it will only be counterproductive."
The old horseman nodded and said with emotion: "The journey on the great road is indeed profound and profound."
At this moment, the sound of neat footsteps suddenly came from outside, directly covering the noise in the hall, which showed that there were so many people coming.
Li Mingyue frowned slightly. Could it be that the Jinyang royal family couldn't bear it anymore?
Then several guards came in to protect a girl in white. The girl's face was arrogant and domineering. When everyone in the hall saw the girl, their expressions changed significantly, and the originally noisy hall instantly became quiet.
After the girl entered the house, she looked around, then her eyes fell on the second floor. Then she walked straight over and saluted: "Hagoromo has met the emperor."
Tuoba Hong, who was upstairs, frowned slightly and asked, "What is your highness doing here?"
The girl said directly: "I heard that the emperor's uncle from the Tang Dynasty will come here today, so I wanted to come over and see what kind of person the rumored immortal disciple is."
She then asked: "Has your uncle ever seen him?"
Tuoba Hong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, and then fell into thinking. At this moment, he was a little confused. Today's plan was obviously aimed at Li Mingyue. In other words, something big will definitely happen tonight, maybe even big.
After fighting, how could His Majesty the Emperor allow His Highness the Princess to appear here?
This is not the consistent style of His Majesty the Emperor.
Or is it that what you have mastered is not real?
He couldn't help but look at Li Mingyue. Could this be the reason why this immortal disciple, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, rejected him so quickly?
At this time, an old man appeared from the direction of the second floor and said loudly: "Ya Yaxuan welcomes you all. Next is the auction tonight. There are a total of thirteen lots. The one with the highest price will win. So I won't talk nonsense."
After saying that, two strong men came out, and then used their magical powers to set up a high platform on the second floor. As the high platform appeared, a graceful woman walked up to the high platform with a maid.
In his hand, he held something, covered with silk.
As the two people walked out, ripples and light flowed on the high platform, which was a formation blessed by some kind of runes.
After the woman got on the high platform, she cast a Wan Blessing on each side, and then said, "This is the first auction item tonight, the Golden Dragon Wood."
