A Tian lay on the bed, sighed heavily, and told Li Huaiyun what he had experienced.

Not far after he left the town, he was intercepted by the guards in the team. Those people's martial arts skills were only beginners. They couldn't take a few of his own moves, but they couldn't withstand the opponent's large number of people, and they were not afraid of the saber in his hand.

.

"Aren't they afraid of death?"

"Yes! After being chopped, he still came up and fought hard."

"Are you sure they are not puppets or manipulated corpses?"

"It's not like they have communicated before!!"

Li Huaiyun thought to himself that those guards must have used some kind of special medicine.

A Tian sighed, "It's really too dangerous this time! I hope there won't be any internal injuries, otherwise, I won't even be able to be a monster hunter,"

"Don't worry, Sikyong said you are fine and will recover soon!"

A Tian hunched over and covered his face, "I hope, I don't know if Fang Yuan has gone to see me. She must be very worried after not seeing me for two days!"

Tsk, I said she doesn't know how happy she is, but you think she is worried.

"Ah Yun, if you have time, help me tell Fang Yuan."

"I still have a lot of things to do! Let's talk about it when we have time." He thought for a while, "A Tian, ​​do you really think that woman is in love with you?"

A Tian avoided his gaze and said in an unconfident voice, "Yes!"

"You also have a mother and a teenage sister at home, who are not very wealthy themselves and are deeply involved, I'm afraid,"

"Ah Yun, I know!" Ah Tian was obviously impatient and lay down.

Li Huaiyun said nothing more. After leaving the sanatorium, he prepared to go to the meeting hall, hoping to have a good talk with Sikyong and release the fox demon.

However, he knew that this possibility was very small, and he had to analyze the pros and cons of the matter, otherwise Sikyong would still reject his request.

The inner hall of the meeting hall.

A man in his thirties, with a well-proportioned figure and a purple gold crown, wearing gorgeous brocade clothes and a majestic appearance, sat opposite Qin Gang.

The two of them were playing chess on the chessboard, and the game had reached its final stage.

I saw the man making a move with a confident look on his face. Then, with a smile on his face, he patted his thigh and said, "Sikyong, the dragon in your belly has been surrounded. With just a few more moves, I will slay the dragon!"

Qin Gang looked at the chessboard and sneered, "Seventh Prince, you still missed a move. I am a big dragon. Relying on the chess pieces on your side, there is no doubt that it is a double-live situation. You have wasted a few moves.

At this point, we have already fallen behind in the situation!”

When the seventh prince heard this analysis, he immediately leaned over and analyzed the situation on the chessboard again. Only then did he suddenly realize that he reluctantly grabbed a handful of chess pieces and placed them on the chessboard.

"Lost! Sikyong's chess skills are indeed so unpredictable."

"Seventh Prince, you are rewarded! It's just that you are too murderous. If you manage the outside well, it should be easy to win this game."

The Seventh Prince knew that what Sikyong said was just polite words. He, the Fourteenth Sister, and several other princes and daughters all worshiped Sikyong as their disciples.

Except for the Fourteenth Sister, everyone else just has a name.

Because the Demon Slayer Division does not participate in government affairs, he rarely comes here. At most, he just wants to see his sister, so he comes here to visit.

"Has Sikyong ever heard of anyone talking about this chess game?"

"who?"

"A few days ago, he was the one who played chess with Yilan Oiran at Bailu Tower and won quite easily!"

"I've heard that, is this weird?" Qin Gang asked curiously, "That woman is very powerful?"

"Of course, this Yilan Oiran has been defeated by eight of the top ten chess players in the Hanlin Academy. Unexpectedly, she was defeated by a low-ranking player in Bailu Tower..."

"Isn't it popular?" Qin Gang said with a smile, "If this person is not popular, how could he write the poem Jiang Xue!"

The seventh prince's face looked a little embarrassed. In fact, he also knew this. Not only did this chess player defeat Yilan, but he also composed a poem about Jiang Xue that was widely circulated in Kyoto.

In his heart, he envied this man's talent. He was extremely skilled in chess and talented in poetry. This was the real talent. He also sneaked out of the palace and played chess with the oiran named Yilan, but he never won.

, all collapsed in the middle game, and there was no chance of winning at all.

Not to mention that the few poems I had worked so hard to write were completely trashed by Jiang Xue's poem. The oiran of Fengxin Tower looked down upon me, not to mention the great scholars in the academy.

He has always had selfish motives, wanting to find that person and use him for his own purposes.

"I wonder if Sikyong knows the identity of that person, but I intend to recruit him."

"You don't have to work hard!"

"Sikyong's words mean that you know that person?"

"Not only do we know each other, we are in the Demon Slayer Division!"

The seventh prince immediately clasped his fists and said, "Sikyong, I want to meet this person."

Qin Gang sighed, "Why is the prince so persistent? This person has no political talent. There are many people who are more talented than him, so there is no need to be like this."

"Sikyong, what you said is wrong. Just based on that poem, such a person should be recruited into his army. I'm worried that if you are too late, the prince may also come here to ask!"

Sikyong gently twirled his beard and said, "You are only interested in poetic talent. This is really overkill for him, and I know that he is not willing to be tied down there!"

"I can give you good terms!"

"Haha! If he is that kind of person, do you think you can keep him?"

The seventh prince was silent. Qin Gang's words awakened him, and he knew that he should work hard in other directions to have a chance to recruit him to his subordinates.

He cupped his fists and saluted, "Thank you Sikyong for clarifying my doubts. I already know what to do!"

Qin Gang leaned on the chair and rubbed his palms gently, hoping that he really understood.

"How are you, Sister Fourteen, lately?"

Qin Gang nodded lightly and began to pack up the chess pieces on the chessboard, "I have been studying hard these days!"

"study?"

"It seems to be some kind of mechanical theory!"

The Seventh Prince was confused about this unfamiliar vocabulary, "Mechanics theory? Who wrote this."

"This is the person you are looking for! He also helped the Fourteenth Princess improve the structure of the weapon."

This man has great talents! The seventh prince exclaimed in his heart, he could not have imagined that besides his chess skills and poetry, this man would have such abilities.

I must not let my eldest brother take the lead! Fortunately, I have a better relationship with my 14th sister!

"I've always been interested in Sister Fourteen's stuff, and I didn't expect anyone to help her improve it. It seems that this person is very capable. I must learn more about what Sister Fourteen makes during this trip."

He said with a proud look, "I, the imperial sister, have always hated my father since her mother was humiliated and passed away. She doesn't see anyone but only wants to see me! However, in the past few years since my wedding,

, we see less of each other!”

Qin Gang knew the purpose of the Seventh Prince, "You two have similar life experiences. You are both concubines, and your age is not much different. You have been playmates for many years! It's right to meet her, but don't have too many other ideas. You

You should know the temper of the imperial sister."

The Seventh Prince smiled calmly and quickly put away the chess pieces. "I have time now. I hope Sikyong will accompany me to meet my quirky princess. I don't know what she is doing now."

What a weird thing!"

Qin Gang also stood up immediately, "I just heard that she summoned people from Qianji Pavilion to give them a class. I don't know what the content will be. I think she wants to tell others what she knows."

"You, the imperial sister, are quite good at tinkering with things. Most of the improvements and designs for Qianji Pavilion's spiritual weapons were made by her."

The seventh prince couldn't help but laugh, "Sikyong, let me think about it again, will the thing designed by this imperial sister be used to overthrow my father's government in the future?"

Qin Gang glanced at the Seventh Prince meaningfully, pondered for a moment, and smiled, "Seventh Prince, what you said is that Mu Yuan will not do this!"

He turned sideways and whispered, "I believe that you, Prince, must be looking forward to this day."

The seventh prince remained calm and silently put the chess basket away.

In Liuyuntang, Li Huaiyun was standing in the middle, and Xu Kun was walking around him, looking down at the twenty or so demon hunters praising Li Huaiyun.

This scene once made him quite embarrassed, and he felt like he was back in elementary school.

"He and A Tian investigated a very complicated case. Although the murderer behind the scenes has not been caught, they successfully saved a town."

Xu Kun shouted in an excited voice, "This would have been quite extraordinary in the past. I have to mention that I had such an ability before, but my knee was injured."

He began to talk endlessly about his past history, and most of the others present could listen patiently.

Li Huaiyun stood there, feeling on pins and needles. After all, this kind of indifferent praise was really boring, and with so many people listening, it was a waste of everyone's time, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"then..."

At this moment, a graceful figure came from the yard.

Xu Kun was reminded by others and looked towards the yard. Suddenly, he felt a little confused, why did the helmsman of Qianji Pavilion come to Liuyuntang?

He walked up, cupped his fists and saluted Mu Yuan, "Master Mu Yuan! Why did you come to Liuyuntang?"

"I want to borrow someone from you!"

"Borrowing someone?"
