The territory of the Eastern Capital is huge, and it will take a year and a half to travel from the Yandu to the Imperial City at high speed.But fortunately, Qing Xiao, Xie Xuanyang, and Liu Zhou Zhou all knew how to shrink the ground to an inch, and they arrived in the imperial city in a few days.However, Mo Lingyan and Meimei were among the group of people who did not know how to use this method. In order to bring them along, the speed of the group of people was much slower than that of Bu Wenye, who hurried back to the imperial city. At that time, Bu Wenye had already returned home safely for two or three days.

Xie Xuanyang was not in a hurry, he bought a small house in the city and lived in it with a few people.Eating tea and strolling around the streets of the imperial city every day, or playing chess with Qing Xiao, or practicing swords in the small courtyard, it seems that they have settled down in the city, and they don't seem to come here for anything.

Mo Lingyan would suspect that when he returned to the sect, he was forced to practice swords by his master every day. After practicing swords, he could go out to play with his brothers and sisters, but the brothers and sisters who played with him became a genius. The little Feng Mo girl who was a little bit big, even ran around in the street after half-playing and half-practicing fencing in the sect.

The days were so leisurely and frightening that Mo Lingyan couldn't help but ran to Xie Xuanyang and asked, "We won't all live here in the future, will we?"

Although there is nothing wrong with living a good life, there is no difference between the master's teaching and the sect, and he waits to eat, drink and have fun in the street after the class and sword practice, but he is also the young master of the Mo family in Xiliang. If the envoy from Xiliang sees this in the future, won't he attract his father?

Mo Lingyan didn't want to go back to the days when his father nagged him all day long.Although his master is a bit cold and serious, and always likes to punish him by catching his pigtails, he doesn't nag.

What's more, he went out with them to find someone. If he settled here, he would never see anyone for the rest of his life?Thinking of this, Mo Lingyan panicked.

But seeing Xie Xuanyang looking at the chessboard unhurriedly, raised his eyes and replied after placing the sunspots, "No."

There is a peach tree in flowering period in the small courtyard under their chessboard, and the chessboard of Qing Xiao and Xie Xuanyang fell under this tree.It was mid-afternoon at this time, and the warm sunlight shone through the layers of pink peach blossoms, falling on the chessboard dotted with stars.From time to time, a breeze passes by, bringing a few petals to fall.

Beside Qingxiao stood a small red clay stove, with a small pot on it, smoking white water smoke, and the faint fragrance of tea wafted in the air.

These two not only played chess, but also made tea leisurely.

Qing Xiao fell down, raised his hand and picked up the white cloth next to the stove, lifted the lid of the small pot through the cloth, and poured the water from the porcelain cup on the side into the pot. Soup and foam will float out.

Mo Lingyan waited for a long time, and when he saw that Xie Xuanyang had finished speaking the two words and there was no sound again, he was a little anxious.He said, "Didn't you say you want to see Bu Wenye or who? We've been living here for several days, why don't we go to him?"

"What's the hurry?" Qing Xiao said lightly.He took out four teacups, and used a shallow wooden spoon to scoop out some foam and put them in, "Sword repairers, one of them is peace of mind. I taught you in Xunri, but you forgot?"

While talking, he lifted the small pot to drink tea soup into the cup, but Xie Xuanyang suddenly said, "Add more foam."

Foam is the essence of tea soup, the amount of foam is different, the taste of tea soup in the tea cup will be different.Hearing that Qingxiao's hand paused, he still poured the tea soup into the cup after the pause.He said, "It tastes bitter."

As he spoke, he put the cup of tea that he had drunk into Xie Xuanyang's hand.Xie Xuanyang raised the teacup and took a small sip, then sighed softly, "I still like bitter."

Qing Xiao glanced at him, lowered her eyes and slid her gaze from Xie Xuanyang's face to the edge of the stone table in front of him, as if looking through the tabletop to where Xie Xuanyang was hidden under the table.Qing Xiao said slowly, "It's bitter and the tea is strong. You were tired last night, so it's better to have something lighter."

Xie Xuanyang was taken aback, and when he came to his senses, a blush appeared on his face. He pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, "You bastard... who is to blame?" It was pulled to the waist, causing myself to gasp and hiss.

Seeing this, Qing Xiao wanted to stand up, "I'll use my spiritual power to soothe you—"

Xie Xuanyang kicked him before he finished speaking, Xie Xuanyang said, "Sit down and shut up."

Qing Xiao fell silent immediately, and sat back obediently.

Looking at them, Mo Lingyan felt a dull pain in the root of his teeth.He doesn't know if it's really hard to have too much foam, but he knows that the two thousand-year-old monsters in front of him are bullying him, a lonely family, even if he feels that the beautiful scenery under the peach blossoms and the warm spring sun can't stop the bleakness in his heart.

He missed Bai Qishan more and more.

He curled his lips, and asked a little aggrieved, "Aren't we really going to find Bu Wenye?"

Xie Xuanyang said, "There is no need to look for it, the person who should come will come naturally."

Mo Lingyan hadn't seen Xie Xuanyang's mysterious appearance for some time, and now he couldn't help but think of the days when Bai Qishan was still there, and felt a burst of embarrassment in his heart.He said, "How did you know it would come? Do you count your fingers?"

Xie Xuanyang shook his head with a slight smile, and said, "He's already here."

Mo Lingyan was startled immediately, and looked around for several times but couldn't see half of them except them. Just when he felt strange, he heard Xie Xuanyang raise his voice, "Since you're here, why stand outside the door? Why don't you come in and sit down?" sit."

The courtyard door not far away opened with a "click", revealing two people outside the door.One of them was Bu Wenye, who they were more familiar with, but at this moment, this important minister of the Eastern Capital was standing half a step behind the other person.

The other person gathered a brocade shirt, covered with a plain gauze double-breasted back, elegant black bamboo patterns embroidered on the cloud sleeves, and a red flame-patterned belt with a black background tied around his waist.This is a man, and a noble man.He just stood with his hands behind his back, with a smile on his face, but it made people feel like he was in a high hall, being watched condescendingly by the person in the high seat.

Mo Lingyan couldn't help but stand close to Qingxiao, lowering his eyes, not daring to cast his eyes directly on this man.However, the other two people in the courtyard did not change their colors. Those who should play chess played chess, and those who drank tea drank tea, as if they ignored the two outside the door.

"Play chess with flowers, make tea and make fragrant, the two of you are in a good mood." The man stepped into the courtyard, walked slowly to the two chess tables and stood still, but saw that the two did not respond to him for a long time, but It's playing chess on its own.

The man was not annoyed, and stood aside watching the pair with great interest.The two chess players didn't talk, the man didn't talk, Bu Wenye didn't talk, Mo Lingyan kept his head down and didn't talk. For a while, there was only the soft sound of chess being played in the small courtyard.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Xuanyang suddenly said, "What do you think of this chess?"

He didn't name them, but everyone in the courtyard knew that he was asking about the man who watched them play chess.The man rubbed his chin and looked at the chessboard for a few breaths, and said, "We are evenly matched."

Xie Xuanyang smiled without saying a word.Seeing Bai Zi drop a son, this time Qing Xiao asked, "So, how?"

The falling of this white piece has completely changed the trend of the game. The original evenly matched game instantly became a strong white piece and a weak black piece.Seeing this, the man raised his eyebrows and said, "One move to change the game, good chess."

Xie Xuanyang sighed, "Good chess is good chess, but it is the opponent's chess."

He stretched out his finger and pointed at the white piece that Qing Xiao dropped just now, and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

The man took a deep look at Xie Xuanyang, and said, "The alien who broke the balance."

Xie Xuanyang asked again, "Do you know where it came from?"

The man said, "Come in the chess box."

Xie Xuanyang shook his head, "There are 180 white pieces, this is the 180th one. This one came from outside the box."

The man's face suddenly changed slightly.At this time, Xie Xuanyang said again, "Bai Zi has many sons, what do you think of this black man?"

The man remained silent, staring deeply at the chessboard with a pair of pitch-black eyes, closed his eyes for a while and let out a long breath before saying, "I'll add one too."

Xie Xuanyang picked up a sunspot outside the chess box, and it hung on the chessboard but it never fell.He said, "Do you think this kid will fall or not?"

The man didn't hesitate this time, and said harshly, "Fall!"

Xie Xuanyang laughed, and the black piece in his hand was pressed into the chessboard with a "snap", and the situation suddenly changed again, and the white piece lost.Xie Xuanyang said to Qing Xiao, "You lost."

Qing Xiao said, "You have always been good at chess."

At this moment, the man also sighed, "Your Excellency is really good at chess. If that's the case, would you like to play chess for me?"

Xie Xuanyang didn't directly answer whether he wanted to or not, but asked him instead, "What chess?"

He actually knew what kind of chess the man was talking about, but he just asked the question knowingly.

The man said, "The world's great chess. For my black son, against Yi Mozun Qin Shi's white son. Qin Shi's Bai Duo son has entered, so I will wait for Your Excellency's Hei Duo son."

Xie Xuanyang was waiting for his words.But he didn't agree immediately, but asked again, "Why should I do all this for you?"

The man's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "Your Excellency came to my Eastern Capital and looked around for my half jade seal. Isn't that why? Even if I don't come, Your Excellency will eventually become my Hei Duozi. After all, this is too much. |The eastern capital built by the ancestors."

"Your Majesty is a smart man." Xie Xuanyang flicked past the table, and the chessboard on the table disappeared from the stone table in an instant, leaving only four cups of tea on the table.

The man took Bu Wenye to his seat knowingly.He took a sip of tea, and suddenly said, "I don't know if I should call you the emperor's uncle?"

Xie Xuanyang shook his head with a smile, and said, "A cultivator who cultivates immortality enters the Tao, that's all. I have nothing to do with you, the royal family of the Eastern Capital."

The man groaned, but said, "I don't think so. If it really doesn't matter, why did you bring Fengmo? If you remember correctly, the Fengmo clan was originally the hidden guard beside Tai|zu."

Xie Xuanyang said, "The wind demon is a demon, but you, the royal family of Dongdu, are not necessarily demons. In the same way, the chaos in Dongdu belongs to the succession of your mortal throne, but there are monks intervening. I have to take care of it. Not only do I have to take care of it, but I have to take care of it thoroughly.”

The man asked, "Why at all?"

Xie Xuanyang said, "Eastern Capital is connected to the Demon Realm. Once it becomes chaotic, the restless guys in the Demon Realm will no longer be able to suppress it. Wouldn't it be another battle between immortals and demons?"

As he said that, he looked at Qingxiao, "I don't want my Taoist companion..." He paused, then looked at Mo Lingyan again, "And my friends go to the battlefield."

Daoist Qingxiao is the leader of sword cultivators in the world of cultivating immortals, and Mo Lingyan is Qingxiao's apprentice. Once the battle between immortals and demons starts again, these two people will definitely go up with their swords. As a powerful cultivator, Qingxiao may have to take the lead .

The man smiled when he heard the words, "Then the meddling monks you're talking about are Qin Shi's demons?"

Xie Xuanyang denied it, "The devil has lived in the Eastern Capital for many years, and his participation in the imperial power struggle is regarded as a mortal matter. Since it is Bai Duozi, then the person I said must not be a demon, and he must not be from the Eastern Capital."

The man couldn't help frowning, "Who?"

Xie Xuanyang said, "Hua Wenyu."

The author has something to say: Hua Wenyu: I am the one who makes trouble every time.

The steps of making tea are still correct, but about chess... Ahem, it's my fault, don't believe it
