The Great Wei Music Bureau

The book continues from the last time. It said that the group talked about Nangong Xue's marriage on the way to Qing'an City. So how will the story develop next? Let's read on. In a blink of an eye, this first book has more than 300,000 words. Although it is not very well written, if any readers like it, please vote and leave comments, at least let Feng Lin see that someone reads his book. Thank you all!

Nangong Qi said, "Yes, the current emperor is indeed a good match for Sister Xue. However, as her brother, if I cannot hear Sister Xue speak her mind, I will always be worried about letting her marry into the palace alone. You know, the open and secret struggles there are extraordinary, and I am worried that Sister Xue cannot cope with it."

At this moment, a head popped out of the carriage that Nangong Xue was riding in, and then the maid in the red and white dress shouted, "Master Qi, Master Qi, the young lady wants to see you for something."

Nangong Qi rode slowly until he was in sync with the carriage, and asked, "What did my sister call me for?"

Nangong Xue pulled open the curtains and said, "Brother Qi, I want Li Yi to tell me about The Legend of the White Snake. What should I do?"

Nangong Qi was stunned at first, then asked, "Why is my sister suddenly interested in Xiu Yuan's story?"

Nangong Xue said calmly: "I'm just curious about what happened to Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Nangong Qi smiled and said, "Of course there is nothing wrong with that, but we are still on the road, how can we talk about Xiuyuan?"

Nangong Xue blinked and asked, "How about letting him get in the carriage and talk?"

Nangong Qi said angrily: "Nonsense, how can this be tolerated!"

Nangong Xue asked calmly, "Then let him talk to the car window?"

Nangong Qi still said unhappily: "Xiu Yuan is not a storyteller, nor is he a servant of our Nangong family. He is my good friend and brother. How can I let him tell stories outside the car window?"

Nangong Xue was displeased when she heard this: "Then I don't care, brother, please find a way, otherwise I will go back to the capital."

Nangong Qi retorted: "Then go back! You won't be able to hear the story even if you go back!"

Nangong Xue's eyes widened and she said angrily: "Okay, then I will go back and tell Dad that you bullied me along the way and didn't take care of me!"

The brother and sister were frozen here. Li Yi turned around and saw the scene here. He smiled to Dugu Yu and said, "Brother Yu, you see, the brother and sister are arguing. This shows that Miss Nangong is quite a character."

Dugu Long turned his head and asked, "Who do you think will win between the brother and sister?"

Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Is there any need to guess? Sister Xue will definitely win."

Li Yi smiled and said, "That may not be the case. Seeing how persistent Brother Qi is, I think Miss Nangong must have made some excessive demands, otherwise Brother Qi would not have refused to answer...ah..." Before Li Yi finished speaking, he suddenly flew up and was pulled by a mysterious force to fly to the carriage, "Hey!? Hey?! Hey!!"

Li Yi landed next to the driver. The driver looked at Li Yi falling from the sky with surprise. Nangong Qi said angrily: "Sister Xue, don't go too far!"

A sword flew out of the car window and hung in front of Li Yi's forehead. Li Yi was shocked and said, "Miss Nangong, I have never offended you, why do you want to chop me again?"

Nangong Xue smiled and said, "Let me ask you, are you willing to sit here and continue telling me about The Legend of the White Snake?"

Li Yi looked at Nangong Qi helplessly and said, "Miss Nangong didn't even give me a chance to say I don't want to."

"That means I agree!" Nangong Xue looked at Nangong Qi with a smug look on her face. The latter snorted coldly and rode forward. Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Well, Big Brother and Xiu Yuan were both wrong. When it comes to judging people, you are not as good as me!"

Dugu Long shook his head and said, "In fact, I am not as good as you in many aspects. You are much smarter than me, but you are not as willing to endure hardships as I am!"

Dugu Yu laughed and said, "Brother, you are joking. How can I be as good as you say? I am just a playboy!"

Dugu Long asked, "How long do you plan to pretend?"

Dugu Yu stretched and said, "Just pretend for as long as you can. Don't worry, big brother. When you take over, I will definitely help you take care of all the affairs of the clan, so that you can sit safely in charge of the Northern King." Dugu Long shook his head and smiled. At this time, Nangong Qi rushed up with a look of resentment on his face.

Dugu Yu asked with a smile: "Sister Xue, are you interested in Xiuyuan? What made you so unhappy?"

Nangong Qi said unhappily, "She's attracted by Xiuyuan's The Legend of the White Snake! She insisted that Xiuyuan tell her about it!"

Dugu Yu thought for a moment and said, "What's wrong with this?"

Nangong Qi sighed, "She is an unmarried girl, and she wants Xiuyuan to get in the car and tell her a story. How can this be so shameless!"

Dugu Yu asked: "Brother Qi, what would you do if Sister Xue fell in love with Xiu Yuan?"

Nangong Qi couldn't help but look back at Li Yi, who was telling a story to his sister through the front window in the front room of the carriage, and asked, "Brother Yu, are you saying that Sister Xue will fall in love with Xiu Yuan?"

Dugu Yu nodded and asked, "You don't think so? Can't you see that Sister Xue has a crush on Xiu Yuan?"

Nangong Qi smiled and said, "Brother Yu, please stop talking nonsense. Although Xiuyuan is extremely talented, there is no reason for Sister Xue to like someone like Xiuyuan. I watched Sister Xue grow up, and she should prefer a hero who is upright and righteous, like Brother Long."

Dugu Yu shook his head and said, "Why do I feel that Sister Xue prefers rogues?"

Dugu Long and Nangong Qi looked at Dugu Yu in shock. Nangong Qi waved his hands and laughed, "Brother Yu, you must have made a mistake. A scoundrel, how could that be possible! My sister has always been noble and aloof. What she can't stand the most is the behavior of those mean people. How could she like a scoundrel! Besides, Xiu Yuan is not a scoundrel."

Dugu Long also said: "That's right, Xiuyuan is definitely not a rogue. He practices Confucianism and Taoism, so he is upright. No matter how you think about it, he can't be associated with a rogue."

Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Xiuyuan is a very special person. On the surface, he looks like a weak scholar, but in fact, he is more belligerent than a warrior! When it comes to justice and reason, he can be shocking, but when it comes to scheming, he is even more mean than a villain. He is very complicated. Don't just think of him as a simple talent."

Dugu Long asked: "How did you know that, brother Yu?"

Nangong Qi also looked at Dugu Yu with a puzzled look. The latter looked at Li Yi and said seriously: "Brother, do you remember that Xiu Yuan didn't use his full strength when fighting with you?"

Dugu Long nodded, and Dugu Yu continued, "Of course I remember. He said he didn't want to lie in bed for a few days because of a sparring match, which means he had used his full strength before, and the price was lying in bed for a few days. Afterwards, I sent someone to investigate the matter. The last time he used his full strength was to help Monk Jiyun and Gongsun Chan. That time he alone held off the ten fourth-rank guards of the Gongsun family for several incense sticks of time. You have to know that he had just learned the Vajra Divine Art at that time."

Nangong Qi was shocked after hearing this. Dugu Yu continued, "He stayed in bed for seven days after that. This was the first time he used all his strength. Brother, you should still remember Liu Hong from Nanliang, right?"

Dugu Long said, "Of course I remember. I wanted to catch him myself, but Mr. Tao wouldn't let me. He said he would take care of it. But I didn't expect that he would still get away! He wanted to assassinate my father. I even went to Mr. Tao to ask for an explanation for this matter, but to no avail."

Dugu Yu said: "According to reliable information, the person who arrested Liu Hong was Xiu Yuan, and the reason why Liu Hong escaped was because Liu Hong was a martial arts and Confucianist, and all of them were fifth-grade. In the end, he used the Taoist Earth Sect's shrinking technique to escape. I also sent people to find and check the battlefield where they fought. The forest was destroyed, and not even snakes, rats, insects, and ants survived within a mile. I just don't know whether it was Xiu Yuan or Liu Hong's trick.

But no matter which side's means, they are all quite powerful, so I guess Xiu Yuan had mastered powerful attack methods at that time, otherwise he would never take risks with his personality. And after that battle, he did not stay in bed to rest, at least not for more than a day. What do you think of Liu Hong's strength as a third-level cultivator of the fifth rank?"

Dugu Long thought for a moment and said, "At least I can be on equal footing with a martial arts 4th-grade mid-stage warrior, and not be at a disadvantage."

Nangong Qi was surprised and asked, "So, Xiu Yuan can already defeat many fourth-rank warriors?"

Dugu Yu shook his head and said, "Brother said that Xiu Yuan's strength has long been above that of an average fourth-rank warrior. What I want to say is that his trump card has never been shown, at least not in front of us. This is his backup plan."

Dugu Long said: "It's normal to keep a backup plan just in case. What does this have to do with calling him a rogue?"

Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Buddhist magical powers are never passed on to outsiders, and Xiuyuan is the first person who has obtained Buddhist magical powers without being ordained. How did he do it?"

Nangong Qi suddenly interrupted and said, "Zhi Sengce, do you mean that Zhi Sengce was Xiuyuan's idea?"

Dugu Long suddenly understood and smiled: "So that's how it is. He lets the imperial court be the bad guys and he becomes the good guy to gain benefits from it. He really has some tricks up his sleeve."

Nangong Qi also smiled and said, "Yes, the Buddhist sect should remember his kindness. Xiuyuan's trick is really amazing."

Dugu Yu sighed, "Not only that, I heard that Mr. Tao wanted to take him in as a disciple and join the Confucian School of Guidao, but Xiuyuan refused. Mr. Tao also wanted Xiuyuan to take over his position and assist His Majesty."

Dugu Long looked at Li Yi who was telling a story with great excitement, and said seriously: "In this case, Brother Xiuyuan will definitely have a place in the court in the future."

Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Brother, do you think Xiuyuan and I are similar?"

Nangong Qi laughed and scolded, "Brother Yu, stop flattering yourself. How can you be as talented as Xiu Yuan?"

Dugu Long nodded heavily, and then said seriously: "I see, I understand. No wonder you are so close to him, you really have the same ideals."

Nangong Qi was confused and asked, "What do you mean by like-minded? How are they alike?"

Dugu Yu smiled but said nothing. Dugu Long said to Nangong Qi, "You and my brother hang out together all day, I'm afraid you're just busy with romantic things."

Nangong Qi was confused. Dugu Yu interrupted his brother and asked Nangong Qi: "Back to the topic just now, if Sister Xue fell in love with Xiu Yuan, what would you do?"

Nangong Qi instantly fell into deep thought, and after a long while he slowly spoke: "Alas, I don't know now, I can't say for sure. If that day really comes, I'm afraid I won't be happy!"

Dugu Yu laughed and said, "You are such a weird brother. Just now you said that as long as your sister likes it, you would be willing to help even if it was a monk. How come you are not happy when it comes to Xiu Yuan?"

Nangong Qi murmured, "We all know Xiuyuan's ability. He is not a single-minded person. Now he has Shiyu. If Xuemei falls in love with him, won't she become his mistress? After all, she is a legitimate daughter, so she might as well enter the palace and become a concubine!"

Dugu Yu sneered, "Oh, now you take those secular rules and family traditions so seriously? Brother Qi, we are all from a family of military commanders. When did we become as pedantic as those scholars? In my opinion, as long as one is both virtuous and talented, why should we care about birth and status!"

Dugu Long smiled and said, "That's exactly the point. The song "Xiu Yuan" is well sung. A hero is not afraid of a poor background. He will be proud if he has high aspirations. It's hard to fall in love just for the word "fate". You can't catch it in your whole life..." At this time, background music sounded, and several people sang in chorus:

A hero is not afraid of a poor origin, he has high aspirations and will be proud one day. Just for the word fate, love is hard to catch in a lifetime.

We love each other so deeply that the sky cannot see our grudges from generation to generation. We have love and heart but cannot live till old age. How can I forget your kindness?

Let me be sad, let me regret, let me hate the heavens, you don't understand. Let me suffer, let me be tired, let me go with the wind, free as I want.
