The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

The four words "Body with a phoenix life" came out of Xuan Yuan's mouth so lightly. He may have been careless, as if he didn't know what the word meant, but these four words immediately made Gao Sitting in the hall The leader, Prince Rui, was shocked and in disbelief, because he understood what these four words meant!

King Rui's fingers clenching the white jade wine cup instinctively clenched out of fright. With the force of his fingers, he almost crushed the white jade wine cup in his hand. Even though the wine cup was not broken, the clear and sweet wine spilled out. Taking a deep breath and tightening the cold expression on his face, King Rui calmed down and put down the wine cup slowly, as if it was as heavy as a thousand pieces.

At this time, he had forgotten what his original plan was. When King Rui originally sent someone to invite the lucky person who successfully climbed Yuquan Mountain, he had the idea of ​​​​recruiting this person. King Rui's approach was not For Xuan Yuan alone, he set up a separate courtyard near Yuquan Mountain and sent people to keep an eye on it all year round. As long as someone climbed to Yuquan Mountain, he would know about it.

When King Rui learned that this lucky man was Qin Xiumao, he was not disappointed, but even more delighted. Qin Xiumao himself was already quite valuable, and in addition, he was favored by Master Chang Yi. If he surrendered to him, he would definitely be able to bring him great benefits. Great help. Not to mention the power represented by the Qin family, as long as Qin Xiumao has the ability to get Master Chang Yi to come forward and praise him with a few words like "indescribable", it will be a great gain.

That's right, King Rui has been sending people to keep an eye on Yuquan Mountain. In fact, what he wants is nothing more than a comment from Master Chang Yi, but the content of this comment must be stipulated by him. Well, in short, King Rui actually planned to fake it just like Xuan Yuan, and why did he fake it? Naturally it was for his ambition and for the supreme throne.

In order to win the help and recognition of Master Chang Yi, King Rui always wanted to climb Yuquan Mountain to enter Xuanzhengguan, and then win the support of Master Chang Yi. Unfortunately, he was not a destined person and could not even climb Yuquan Mountain. Not to mention conquering the Taoist priests of Xuan Zhengguan and gaining their followers.

Unable to climb Yuquan Mountain, King Rui could only do the next best thing, such as taking the initiative to provide various materials to the Taoist priests of Xuanzhengguan Qingxiu, such as recruiting those who successfully climbed Yuquan Mountain. Now he recruits Xuan Yuan for this purpose, but at this time all his thoughts and calculations have disappeared. He can no longer think of these trivial matters. All his attention is completely focused on the four words "Body with Phoenix Life" On the body.

If this was the evaluation made by others, Prince Rui would naturally not believe it, and would even find it ridiculous. In the whole world, the only people in the world who are worthy of the evaluation of having a phoenix life are probably the Queen and the Crown Princess. Only those who can ascend the throne of the queen and become the emperor's wife are people who have a phoenix life. Anyone can put it on her. This word really makes people laugh out loud.

But this time the situation is different. The person who made this comment is Chang Yi! Who is Chang Yi? He is a Taoist priest who is worshiped and admired by everyone in the world. He is truly a man of immortals who has an affinity with immortals and masters the methods of immortals. What he says is very credible——

If not, why would Prince Rui pursue him so hard just to get Master Chang Yi to tell him a lie and praise him a few words? Isn't it just to use the comments of Master Chang Yi to add a few more chips to fight for the throne, win the favor of the father and the followers of many civil servants and generals?

Xuan Yuan seemed not to notice how surprised His Highness Prince Rui, who was sitting at the top, was filled with turmoil and complicated emotions. He just sighed in a slightly distressed and helpless tone: "It's really disappointing to say the least. I feel helpless. I didn’t expect that Master Chang Yi would say that I shouldn’t get married early, and there are such troubles in getting married on the fingertips and haphazardly arranged. It seems that I must break off the engagement as soon as possible. "

"The origin of this marriage can be traced back to the time when my father was drunk and lost his mind. Although both families later agreed to the marriage, in the end it was because of his drunkenness. It's nonsense to say that if you want to cancel the marriage, there won't be many twists and turns. Sigh... In the end, it's fate. The marriage must be canceled, but I'm afraid of hurting the friendship between the two parties and embarrassing the other party. This is not the case. My heart’s desire.”

Hearing that Xuan Yuan intended to break off the engagement, His Highness Prince Rui could not help but flash a strange light in his eyes, as if there was a bright light passing by. His expression was still stern, but he acted as if he was sincere to Xuan Yuan, and even spoke out Help him analyze his situation: "There must be a reason why Master Chang Yi told you not to marry early. You'd better listen. After all, Master Chang Yi never talks nonsense. If you go against his advice, I'm afraid you will get into trouble." ”

Prince Rui put on a calm, solemn and very reliable look, analyzing the situation for Xuan Yuan, and looked like a kindhearted person offering help: "Since it is not suitable for you to marry early, even if you are married, I am afraid you will have to delay it a lot. You can't get married until 20 years. If you delay like this, it will be even more embarrassing for the people you have made an engagement with, and it will be even more embarrassing than losing face."

"Since it was Master Chang Yi who personally ordered you not to marry early, you might as well directly inform your betrothed of Master Chang Yi's instructions. When they know the situation and know that this is fate, they will definitely not have any entanglements anymore. I will be willing to break off the engagement with you." His Highness, Prince Rui, looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in his hands, and there was even a smile on his stern face, as if he really planned for Xuan Yuan wholeheartedly.

But apart from implicitly agreeing with Xuanyuan's proposal to cancel the engagement, and even actively helping Xuanyuan analyze the situation and letting him cancel the engagement with the excuse of "not marrying early", Prince Rui Qi Han never mentioned the fact that Qin Xiumao's fiancée had a phoenix destiny, as if he had not heard of it before.

But Xuanyuan just thought it was funny. If Prince Rui really didn't care about the phoenix destiny, he should have mentioned it openly. He was so shy and kept silent. It seemed that he didn't care, but it was obvious that he really cared a lot in his heart, so he didn't want to mention it.

Although he saw through the King Rui's thoughts, Xuan Yuan still put on a grateful look and said with a faint smile: "Thank you for your comfort, Your Highness. Your Highness is right. Since I am destined not to marry early, it is indeed inappropriate to drag down the daughter's youth! When I return home today, I will report this to my parents, and then go to the door to cancel the engagement."

After a pause, Xuan Yuan lowered his eyes and pretended to be hesitant and embarrassed, as if he had a thousand knots in his heart. He was very good at acting and pretended to be hesitant. After hesitating for a moment, he clasped his hands and arched his hands to King Rui Qi Han, and whispered: "There is one thing , please agree to my request, Your Highness."

"Before, I suddenly learned of the comments of Changyi Zhenren, and I was uneasy for a while, so when Your Highness asked, I blurted out the words "I have the life of a phoenix". I was really confused." Xuanyuan looked ashamed, as if he was really uneasy about his nonsense. "Alas, Your Highness, please keep it a secret for me and don't tell anyone about this comment."

King Rui's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, but his face was still solemn, calm, cold and indifferent. As the first person to know the comments of Changyi Zhenren, he certainly didn't want more people to know about it.

After all, if someone else knew about the existence of the person with the Phoenix Fate, not to mention whether they would compete with him for this girl, even if this matter was leaked out, if he asked to marry the person with the Phoenix Fate, his father and eight brothers would also see through his ambition for the throne, which was not what he wanted. He was the youngest and his subordinates were the weakest. What he had to do was to lie dormant, not jump out to attract other people's attention.

Xuanyuan continued: "I will also be cautious in what I say and do. I will only say that Master Changyi said that I should not marry early, and I will only use this reason to cancel the engagement, and I will never mention anything about the Phoenix Fate. Please don't leak this, Your Highness, lest after the engagement is canceled, the woman will not be able to discuss the marriage again."

He sighed softly, lowered his eyes, and looked like a good old man who was worried about his fiancée who was betrothed to him since childhood. He was really a gentle gentleman, gentle and considerate: "Cancelling the engagement has already damaged her reputation. If such comments are spread again, it will really not be good for her. It will be even more difficult to discuss marriage in the future. After all, she and I were engaged, and we still have some brother-sister friendship since childhood. I really can't bear to see her end up like that. Please agree to this matter, Your Highness, and don't leak it out. "

How could King Rui disagree? He was really happy. He was originally thinking about how to persuade Qin Xiumao not to spread the words that he had the Phoenix's fate. As a result, Xuanyuan handed him a ladder and let him get what he wanted. Naturally, he was very happy. He liked Xuanyuan more and more and had a good impression of him.

Of course, how much of this was out of happiness for the news Xuanyuan gave him, there is no need to say more. In the following banquet, the two no longer talked about this matter, but just chatted casually about everything. The atmosphere was very harmonious. King Rui repeatedly showed an attitude of praise for Xuanyuan, as if he admired him very much.

However, although King Rui had a sincere attitude towards Xuanyuan, he never mentioned the matter of recruiting again. Because King Rui had already made up his mind to investigate who the person who was described by Master Changyi as having the fate of a phoenix was, and planned to marry her. If he really married this woman, wouldn't it be awkward to see Qin Xiumao again? In this case, it would be better not to recruit him.

In King Rui's heart, Qin Xiumao's weight was naturally not as important as the woman with the fate of a phoenix.
