Great Swordsman

time flies.

The day flew by.

The Tribute Day of All Nations has finally arrived.

Li Mu got up early in the morning and saw that the doll was still asleep, so he directly threw her into the wooden bowl and carried it with him.

Coming down from Qingyou Mountain, Lin Aimin had prepared his spirit horse, and Li Mu rode on, and arrived at the south gate of the imperial palace, Qingxiao Gate, at the beginning of Chen Shichu!
The tribute of all nations is different from the Great Court Meeting.

The Grand Court Meeting is in the Tianyuan Hall, which needs to be entered through the Wangxian Gate.

And the tribute of all nations is in the Chaotian Palace, and you need to enter through the Qingxiao Gate!
At this time, the sky was only getting brighter, but in front of Qingxiao Gate, Zifei official robes and brocade python belts were already standing!
The princes and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, civil servants and military generals gathered together, chatting and chatting with each other.

On the left rear of these ministers, there are 72 Dishas, ​​and on the right rear are the missions of various countries!
A little further away, there are crowds of onlookers, it is full of people, there are ordinary people, there are children from aristocratic families, there are princes and ladies, there are noble ladies, and there are wealthy businessmen, they all come here to watch the excitement.

For this reason, Jiutian Yingyuan Shenfu also dispatched hundreds of monks from the Ministry of Human Beings to maintain order here.

Li Mu participated in the tribute this time as 72 Disha, so he didn't need to wear the conspicuous green official robe. He was dressed in a white robe, his long hair was tied into a bun, and was fixed with a jade sword. When it appeared, it ushered in the attention of all.

"Poetry Sword Immortal, Poetry Sword Immortal is here!"

"The jade tree is facing the wind, and it is suave and suave. It is worthy of being my great poet and sword fairy!"

"I still remember the decisive battle a few days ago, Shi Jianxian still has the same demeanor."

"For this tribute, it is estimated that none of these missions would dare to provoke Shi Jianxian again, haha."

Amidst the heated discussions against Yingtian, a young eunuch came from the side. He was the eunuch who was in charge of receiving 72 Disha, and was the confidant of Zhang Xi, the general manager.

"I have seen Shi Jianxian, Shi Jianxian, this way please." The little eunuch respectfully led Li Mu to the left, where dozens of people had already gathered, all of whom were on the list.

Li Mu looked around and saw many acquaintances.

Zhao Que'er, No. 27 on the land list, Qin Hu, No. 29, and Yao Xuan, No. 36. He is the son of Yao Yan, Prime Minister of the left. Li Mu has a deep impression of him.

But Master Huineng and Taoist Master Quanzhen were nowhere to be seen.

"Li Jushi, long time no see." At this time, Taoist Priest Quan Yu, the guardian of Bailongma, walked towards Li Mu with a smile.

He is a cultivation base of the five realms of Earth Sha, and he is ranked 32nd in the Earth Ranking.

"Daoist Quan Yu." Finally met someone who could talk, Li Mu rushed up and asked, "Aren't Master Huineng and Taoist Quanzhen coming? Where's Longma?"

"Master Huineng doesn't know, but the poor brother will not come." Quan Yu said with a smile: "As for Longma, the imperial court invited some disciples of the sect to watch the ceremony, and Longma will appear with them. Tell me about your comrades here."

With that said, Quan Yu began to introduce Li Mu to the monk next to him.

The pale, long-legged woman in the farthest corner is Tang Yike, who is ranked fourteenth in the ranking. A few days ago, she challenged the Xiongnu ring and was severely injured, and she has not yet recovered from her injury.

The proud woman in the middle wearing a golden long dress is Ying Xiaoyue, the first daughter of the winner, with excellent talent, she is ranked 23rd on the list!
The monk over there is Huide, the younger brother of Master Huineng, an eminent monk who practiced Buddhism in Qiyun Pagoda all the year round, ranked eleventh!

Zhao Queer, Qin Hu, and Yao Xuan will not be introduced.

But the girl surrounded by the three of them is Meng Qiuhan, fourth on the earth list, the daughter of the Meng family, and one of the nine most beautiful women!

It was precisely because of the existence of Meng Qiuhan and the appearance of Li Mu that it did not attract the attention of too many people on the list, because everyone focused on her.

Even Ying Xiaoyue looked at Meng Qiuhan unconvinced.

Li Mu saw that Meng Qiuhan was in his early twenties, wearing a green waxy skirt, with a thin and tall figure, standing gracefully like a jade girl sword.

Her facial features are exquisite and perfect, without the slightest bit of jealousy, her long hair is shawl, her eyes are like stars, like the independent goddess of Luoshui, she is dusty and ethereal.

At the same time, she has a Confucian temperament, her eyes are gentle, and there is always a calm smile on her mouth, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Seemingly aware of Li Mu's gaze, Meng Qiuhan looked sideways slightly, and nodded at Li Mu with a smile like a spring breeze, as if the cold wind around him no longer pierced his bones.

Li Mu's heart skipped a beat.

This daughter of the Meng family not only has a peerless appearance, but also has a heaven-defying cultivation. She even has a very good personality. No wonder all the men and women present are staring at her.

Following Meng Qiuhan's gaze, Qin Hu finally found Li Mu, and felt uneasy in his heart.

Miss Meng, the most beautiful girl in the sky, seems to be the only one who can match her in the world... Poetry and Sword Immortal?

Do not!
Do not!
Li Mu is only the county magistrate of Qipin, how can he match up with Miss Meng?

He doesn't deserve it!
Qin Hu originally felt a little guilty towards Li Mu, but when Meng Qiuhan and Li Mu's eyes met, this guilt was instantly extinguished by jealousy!

"Heh, Shi Jianxian is here." Zhao Que'er at the side also spotted Li Mu, and looked at him with a half-smile, but didn't step forward to provoke him.

"Brother Li!" Seeing Li Mu, Yao Xuan hurried up to greet Li Mu, remembering what happened at Yuchang Restaurant.

"He is Li Mu?" Meng Qiuhan thought it was just an ordinary list, but he didn't expect it to be the Shi Jianxian who caused a lot of trouble in the city a few days ago.

"Miss Meng, Li Mu is unparalleled in talent, but his temper is also extremely weird." Qin Hu said hurriedly: "Some time ago at the Yuchang Restaurant, because of some quarrels, he drew his sword against me. I was invincible, if it wasn't for Brother Que Take the shot, I'm already dead in his hands."

When Zhao Que'er heard Qin Hu's words, her eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Little Hu'er, it's not okay to speak ill of people behind their backs. Immortal Shi Jian looks down on you, but not necessarily to Miss Meng."

He seems to be reprimanding Qin Hu for speaking ill of people behind his back and telling stories, but he is actually implying that Li Mu is arrogant and... lustful?
Meng Qiuhan smiled and said: "There is no gold, and no one is perfect. As long as you don't lose money, you can still be an outstanding person. You should make friends!"

As he said that, Meng Qiuhan really moved and walked gracefully. The green waxy skirt was like a wisp of green smoke, and he came to Li Mu's body slowly and quickly.

At this time, Yao Xuan had just finished greeting Li Mu, and before he turned his head, he smelled a faint fragrance of elegance. He didn't need to turn his head to know that it was Meng Qiuhan.

Because this fragrance is her body fragrance, not comparable to ordinary perfume.

He smiled and stepped aside.

"Meng Qiuhan, I have met the Poetry Sword Immortal." Meng Qiuhan bowed slightly and saluted, a few strands of black hair slipped from his shoulders, soft and black.

Li Mu looked at that perfect face, and smelled the unique light and elegant fragrance at the tip of his nose. After a brief loss of consciousness, he hurriedly recited the Bingxin formula silently, stretched his right hand, and said, "Don't dare, Miss Meng is too polite, just call me Li Mu." .”

Meng Qiuhan took advantage of the situation and stood up. She had a handsome figure, only half a head shorter than Li Mu, and judging by her height, she was actually taller than the concubine Han Qingqian.

"Mr. Li three days ago slashed demons with swords and made great efforts to promote the country. You can't be too polite." Meng Qiuhan laughed.

"It's just a fluke." Li Mu said with a smile, "If Miss Meng was also in the Imperial Capital at that time, I'm afraid it's not my turn to make a move."

Meng Qiuhan straightened his face, and said in a concentrated voice: "I was delayed by some things. I just entered the city yesterday. The tired Mr. Li faced the wind and rain alone. Don't blame me, Mr. Li."

Although Meng Qiuhan is a woman, she has been familiar with Confucian classics since she was a child, and when she grows up, she takes the world as her own responsibility. Otherwise, she wouldn't have colluded with monks everywhere a few months before the big tribute.

If she knew that the Xiongnu Meng Yuan dared to make such a big deal, she would definitely return to Beijing in the starry night!
Seeing that her expression did not seem to be fake when she spoke, Li Mu said hurriedly.

Not far away, seeing Li Mu and Meng Qiuhan talking and laughing happily, Qin Hu's expression gradually became distorted.

"Why, are you jealous?" Zhao Que'er stood beside her with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, your Miss Meng is not one of those slutty sluts out there, who can't walk when she sees Shi Jianxian."

"Brother Que, don't say that, Miss Meng is nothing like me, I have no right to be jealous." Qin Hu said in a muffled voice.

"You, you place too much emphasis on your family background. You always feel that you are just a branch of the Qin family and not worthy of Miss Meng. If this continues, how can you embrace a beauty?" Zhao Que'er said with a soft smile, "Chasing women is nothing more than death." Stalking, no matter how bad it is, there is nothing wrong with using some methods.”

"Brother Que, don't say that, I, I... When I become Tiangang, it will be fine." Qin Hu gritted his teeth.

Zhao Que'er sneered and shook her head. When you become Tiangang, Meng Qiuhan will also be Tiangang, and the rest will be Tiangang. How will it be different from now?

Over there, Meng Qiuhan came back after chatting with Li Mu.

Qin Hu hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Brother Que, don't talk about me, you should think about yourself."

"Me?" Zhao Que'er laughed and shook her head: "If my father hadn't insisted that I participate in the Great Tribute, I would have taken your sister down long ago! Hmph."

"Brother Que, don't be so full of words. I heard that Dingbohou's son is also pursuing my sister." Qin Hu laughed and said, "It's not that easy for you to be my brother-in-law."

"Then we'll wait and see." Zhao Que'er laughed, and then said to Meng Qiuhan who was walking back: "Miss Meng, what do you think of Shi Jianxian?"

Meng Qiuhan nodded with a smile: "Respectful, he is a gentleman, not bad."

Although she didn't care much about her beauty, but Jiujuese's reputation was good, and other men would be fascinated when they saw her for the first time, even if they pretended to be calm, but Li Mu, apart from being absent-minded when they first met him, had nothing to do with him after that. There is no fluctuation, which is really rare!
"Ms. Meng, you know people, face, but don't know your heart. I think it's better not to judge so arbitrarily." Qin Hu was a little anxious, for fear that Miss Meng would be seduced by Li Mu.

Meng Qiuhan shook his head slightly, smiled without saying a word.

the other side.

Quan Yu saw that Jiu Jue Se had left, so he continued to introduce Li Mu.

Although Li Mu is not face-blind, it is not realistic for him to remember all the people in the local list at once. After a rough recognition, he will focus on the missions of various countries.

Quan Yu did his homework, and said: "There are 270 missions coming to Beijing this time, from the northern grasslands, the deserts of the Western Regions, the East China Sea, and the Southeast Asia. The 36 countries are united in the same spirit, and they are backed by the Buddha Kingdom, so their strength should not be underestimated!"

"I won't say much about Meng Yuan and Xiongnu Pindao, you should know them all." Quan Yu pointed to a man with fluffy hair but an extremely majestic and mighty figure and said: "That's the prince of the Lion King, Ayesu, Ben He is the heir to the Lion Kingdom, but in the battle between you and the Sword Demon, the Western Regions lost more than [-] million taels of gold, and I am afraid that after returning, his status as the heir will fluctuate."

"Ayesu." Li Mu looked at the man who looked like a lion, and there was something strange in his eyes: Could it be that the black figure that appeared the night before was him?

Then, Quan Yu pointed to a black-haired woman beside Ayesu and said, "That's Princess Loulan, Peacock."

Peacock?

Li Mu saw that the peacock princess was wearing a red veil on her face, which covered her face, but she was tall and enchanting, with a protruding front and back, full of femininity. Moreover, she only wore a red chest wrap on her upper body, revealing a large area. She has white and delicate shoulder blades, and six soft and elastic abdominal muscles. The lower body is a gauze skirt, and her legs are faintly visible. Moreover, she walks barefoot, her feet are not stained with dust, extremely white and delicate.

Ok?
Li Mu's heart tightened suddenly, and his eyes shifted slightly, looking at a monk beside the Peacock Princess.

This monk is quite thin, looks like a piece of ribs, his face is flat, without any distinctive features, and the monk robes on his body are also extremely worn out, judging by his attire, he looks like an ascetic monk.

At this time, the monk was also looking directly at Li Mu, and even clasped his hands together to salute Li Mu.

This monk... is not simple.

Li Mu had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

"He is a disciple of the Buddha in the Bodhi Temple in the Western Regions, and his Dharma name is Xuanling!" Quan Yu said in a low voice.

Buddhist son?

Li Mu frowned, and asked via voice transmission: "Daoist Quan Yu, I only heard that there are three great Bodhisattvas in the Western Regions of Buddhism, eight celestial dragons, eighteen vajras, walking 36 times, how come there are still Buddhas?"

Quan Yu also said via voice transmission: "This Buddhist disciple came to Beijing yesterday, and the poor Taoist only knew about it not long ago."

so mysterious?

It seems that this guy is not simple.

Then, Li Mu saw Master Xuankong, who was one of the eight dragons, followed Xuanling like a follower!

Li Mu's heart moved: It seems that the status of this Buddha is still above the eight dragons, but he doesn't know how he compares with the Bodhisattva?
Then, Quan Yu introduced the rest of the missions to Li Mu, such as the Cheshi Ancient Country and Uzi Ancient Country in the Western Regions, the Ghost Country, Lei Country, and Wu Country in the East China Sea, as well as the island countries in the South Seas, what giant elephants? China, Baise country, all kinds!
There were so many missions, Li Mu couldn't remember them all. He made up his mind to follow Quan Yu's footsteps. If there was anyone he didn't know, just ask him.

"The king of Chu and the king of Shu are here." At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came.

Then, the conversation in front of Qingxiao Gate all quieted down.

All the palace ministers and honorable generals began to look away. They either looked left and right, or lowered their heads in thought, or closed their eyes and dozed off. No one dared to look directly at the two princes.

It is true that the kings of Chu and Shu are looking for people to borrow money these days, and the amount of borrowing is tens of thousands of taels of gold.
What these ministers are most afraid of now is that these two princes will come to their door.

If it weren't for the great tributary who couldn't take sick leave, most of the princes present would probably be sick!
Seeing their end, Li Mu felt so sour in his heart, he really couldn't explain it to outsiders!

"Li Mu!!"

I don't know if there is a real aura between the enemies, there are nearly a thousand people in front of the Qingxiao Gate, and Chu Wang Ji Changqiu actually saw Li Mu at a glance!
Li Mu hurriedly responded with a gentle smile: "I have seen His Highness the King of Chu."
