[Xianxia] Accompanying Longmian

After living in the West Sea Dragon Palace for a year and a half, Ming Yuan thought seriously for the first time why Ao Zhan tried his best to bring him back. It was not because he was stupid, but because Ming Qi made him have a natural trust and love for the role of "father". In awe, he even believed in every word Ao Zhan said.And a year and a half is enough for him to wake up and recognize his position in Ao Zhan's mind and his position in the West Palace.

Ao Zhan will not let him inherit the West Palace. Ao Qin is the rightful next palace lord. Even if this is likely to happen thousands of years later, there is no way to change it, especially because of him.Longzi, who has no chance to become the lord of a palace, is usually sent to guard a water area, but Ao Zhan doesn't seem to plan to train him to become the lord of a river, or give him any other position, because he never introduces those water tribes to him An important minister, not even a close servant was selected for him.

As a father, Ao Zhan doesn't care if his son is doing well, who he knows, whether he is bullied when he first arrives, he only cares about whether he can learn spells, and most of these spells are to enhance spiritual power, but few What a practical spell.

Ao Zhan explained before that this was to let him lay a solid foundation, Ming Yuan believed it, and practiced obediently according to his wishes.But now he started to secretly learn some spells by himself, how to fight with people, and hide his strength.Because he is a mixed race, even though he is only eighteen to nine years old, his mind and spiritual power have reached the level of an adult dragon. But recently, when Ao Zhan instructed him to transform into a dragon, Ming Yuan pretended that he lacked spiritual power and could not become a dragon. This makes Ao Zhan very angry, if it is not because of his status, he would almost curse.

Once you start to be suspicious of a person, his whole body will become very suspicious. As time goes by, Ming Yuan becomes more and more convinced that Ao Zhan and his wife have no good intentions towards him.So he decided to find a chance to try it out.

The opportunity never came up, Ao Qin was always surrounded by close servants, probably because he was too aggressive last time, Princess Xigong sent two more spirits to follow Ao Qin.Ming Yuan waited for four full months before Ao Qin placed an order for the first time.

Ao Qin was standing in the garden waiting for his attendant to pick up the meeting gift left in the room for him. The owner of the East Palace, the princess and the little prince came to the West Palace today, so he, the little master, had to express himself, but when he turned around, he saw himself His nemesis was standing behind, he backed up a few steps in fright, and shouted, "What do you want?"

Ming Yuan folded his hands behind his back and calmly said: "So you are so afraid of me."

Ao Qin gritted his teeth and said, "I am the future Mistress of the West Palace, how could I be afraid of you as a bastard?" As he spoke, he boldly took two steps forward, the first step was fairly big, but the second step was extremely small , obviously feeling frustrated.

Ming Yuan was secretly amused by his sternness, but his face showed a look of disdain: "After living for 300 years, I am still such a weak and weak little guy. If I leave the housekeeper, I won't even dare to leave the room. No wonder my father wants to arrest me. Take it back."

Ao Qin pouted his neck and said: "Which one of our dragon clan will grow up slowly, only you, a monster, will be different from others."

Ming Yuan didn't show any displeasure on his face, he picked a coral branch at random and sat down, yawned and said: "I advise you to be careful with what you say, this monster like me is very likely to inherit the West Palace, if you and I have a vengeance, and the days to come will be sad."

These words immediately angered Ao Qin, he clenched his fists and said loudly: "You? Just because you want to be the master of the first palace?"

Ming Yuan flicked the non-existent folds of his shirt, and said with a smile, "It's not that I want to, but that I can. I just turned 20 years old, and my spiritual power is already stronger than my 'brother' who has practiced for more than 300 years——" He squinted at Ao Qin, as if he was looking at an unpopular object, "——you said to wait another 100 years, how strong will I be?"

Ao Qin sneered and said, "100 years? Do you think you have 100 years to live? You are just a substitute for my father. Do you really think that you are a serious son?"

The corners of Ming Yuan's eyes twitched slightly, but he still maintained that look of disdain and cynicism: "Replacing the dead ghost? You really dare to say that it was the empress who told you, please don't provoke me, just wait for me to be your pawn for you." It’s fine to take the place of the dead ghost. But look, am I still doing well now?”

Ao Qin said bitterly: "You are not dead just because the time has not come yet. When the dragon soul in the dragon tooth is consumed, you will go in and suffer."

Ming Yuan snorted, as if he didn't believe it at all, he jumped off the coral branch and waved his hand at Ao Qin: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you here, let's go—"

As soon as he returned to his room, Ming Yuan immediately threw away his mask of indifference, and began to pack his things quickly. He didn't want to be a scapegoat, especially that damned Ao Qin's scapegoat. He didn't know what the hell Longya was, and he didn't want to I know, the only thing he has to do is to hide well, and must not let Ao Zhan find him again.

He was not the child that Ao Zhan expected, nor did he get any warmth from the Dragon Palace. The trip to the West Sea for more than three years should be regarded as wandering and training, or an unlovable nightmare.

=====================

During breakfast, the waterfowl who released the inquiring news before had returned to Ming Yuan, confirming that what the skeleton said last night was true, that the corpse called Tian Bin did live in a town five or six days away from here. A servant from an official family accidentally stepped on the ground one day while changing the lantern hanging in front of the gate, fell off the ladder and died after hitting his head on the ground.

Mu Bai was in a bit of trouble, if he spoke directly to the county magistrate, he would definitely be pulled back and interrogated repeatedly, did he really have to answer by himself that all this was caused by a ghost cultivator for revenge?If the county magistrate couldn't think about it for a while, summoned the skeleton for trial, and ordered it to take off its skin in public, the crowd would be frightened to death.

Seeing him eating steamed buns bite by bite, Ming Yuan pushed the side dishes forward and said, "Is eating steamed buns delicious?"

Mu Bai raised his head and glanced at Ming Yuan, without saying a word, raised his hand to pick up a chopstick of sour radish, and smiled with crooked eyebrows, as if he had encountered something extremely happy.

Seeing this, Ming Yuan coughed lightly, beckoned to Xiao Er, and asked him to fetch a pen and paper, and wrote a short letter in his arms, then stood up and said to Mu Bai who had already eaten: "Let's go out for a while while there are few people on the street."

Mu Bai stood up in a calm manner, and followed Ming Yuan to the street near the yamen, there were no vendors setting up stalls here, only a few pedestrians hurried past occasionally.

Ming Yuan walked to the corner of a short building nearby, and lightly jumped onto the roof. He looked around, saw that no one was paying attention, and waved to Mu Bai. Mu Bai didn't know, but he went in obediently. Then jump up to the room.

Jumping up, I realized that this location just overlooks the entire county government office. Most of the guards have not come here early in the morning. There are only a few guards in front of the cell where the prisoners are held, and the rest of the place is empty.

Ming Yuan took out the letter he had written before and handed it to Mu Bai, "I wrote down Tian Bin's identity in it, and County Magistrate Wu will definitely send someone to verify and inform the relatives of the death, then he will find out How weird the whole thing is."

After finishing speaking, he handed another bamboo chopstick to Mu Bai's hand, "Let me see if your arrow technique has fallen."

Mu Bai nodded, closed his eyes and slowly used his spiritual power to transform a bow. He tried to play the slingshot string, and after confirming that it was strong, he tied the letter tightly to the top of the bamboo chopsticks, and using the chopsticks as arrows, pulled With the bowstring full, aim at the pillar of the county government office and let go. The bamboo chopsticks, accompanied by the sound of the bowstring breaking through the air, flew straight over the pillar and inserted into the door panel of the closed gate.

Ming Yuan frowned: "I thought your target was the pillars."

Mu Bai was a little embarrassed: "That letter is too heavy, it affects the accuracy a bit..." He had discovered before that Ming Yuan had a special preference for bows and arrows, and every time he accidentally tilted his head, he would be extremely disappointed.

Ming Yuan sighed: "Diligence can make up for weakness, you need to practice more. But hanging the letter there, the effect should be better."

Sure enough, after a short while, the sound of gongs beating to clear the way, the sedan chair on which the county magistrate was riding came slowly, and the two guards hurriedly opened the door to greet them, and found the letter nailed to the door panel. After that, he secretly stuffed the letter to the master who was walking behind.

Seeing this, Ming Yuan and Mu Bai knew that things would come true, so they didn't linger any longer, they both jumped off the roof and turned back along the street.Mu Bai couldn't help asking: "Are we going to Huadu soon?" During the meal, the diners at the next table could always be heard talking about the affairs of Huadu, sometimes it was about the court affairs, sometimes it was anecdotes, and so on. It can be seen that it is close.

Ming Yuan made some calculations and replied, "About another five or six days will be enough."

Mu Bai turned his head to look at Ming Yuan and asked, "Do you...do you have any relatives there?"

Ming Yuan shook his head, and said sadly: "The people I know have long since returned to the dust and been reincarnated, and the children and grandchildren left behind are only somewhat related to me, but they are ruthless."

Mu Bai thought for a while, then asked puzzledly: "Since the soul has been reincarnated, it won't come to enjoy offerings during the ghost festival, so what does it matter if it is sacrificed or not?"

Ming Yuan said sternly: "My adoptive father raised me up and treated me with sincerity. I have nothing to repay, but I can only protect the blood he left behind. Every ten years, I will go to Huadu for a sacrifice to show my disapproval. Forget the old kindness. In this way, no matter who is sitting on the throne, who wants to move the Ming family, they have to weigh whether they have the ability to bear the anger of me, the Dragon Lord."

Mu Bai wondered, "Has the Ming family been doing well these years?"

Ming Yuan said: "Bloodlines from previous dynasties will always be feared. The emperors of the two dynasties recruited Ming family women into their palaces as concubines, but refused to let them leave offspring. It was clear that they wanted to contain and use the Ming family. "

Mu Bai sighed and said: "Along the way, I saw those traffickers and pawns working hard every day, constantly rushing to make a living, life is really sad. I didn't expect that it will not be much better if you are a big official. Although you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but the head But there is always a knife hanging, and I don’t know when it will fall and cut off my neck, so I am so worried every day, it is worse than ordinary people.”

Ming Yuan said with a smile: "So you are the one with the best life. You travel around all day long, travel around mountains and rivers, eat delicious food and drink spicy food. You are much happier than the emperor!"

Mu Bai also said with a smile: "I am not lucky, but I have suffered too much in the first 20 years, and I have suffered all the hardships in the rest of my life, so I can be lucky to meet you. Otherwise, who will take me to eat, drink, and go sightseeing Where's the water?" Although these words were joking, no one could hear the affection in them.

Ming Yuan was stunned, coughed lightly and changed the subject, Mu Bai didn't force him, but changed the subject accordingly and stopped talking ambiguously.

He has a lot of time, don't rush, take your time.
