It's a sunny morning.
After Luo Qingzhou got up, he went directly to the bottom of the lake in Yueye Tingyu Garden to practice.
Now it has reached the stage of refining the internal organs.
He had to continue working hard to break through to the martial artist level as soon as possible.
Only when one reaches the realm of martial artist can one be considered to have made some achievements on the path of martial artist training and feel more secure.
Refining the internal organs requires breathing in and out, the circulation of qi and blood, and the use of medicine.
So there is no need to go out of the city specifically to practice in the Black Wood Forest.
The lake bottom will do.
After reaching the bottom of the lake.
He did not enter the stone chamber, but walked directly to the blocked passage in the middle of the three-way fork in the road and began to split stones to clear a path.
Punching rocks can easily mobilize the Qi and blood in the body. During the attack, you can breathe deeper and faster to temper your internal organs.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
When he came to the huge rocks blocking the passage, he began to circulate his internal energy, tightening his fascia muscles and punching hard.
The qi and blood in the body quickly surged.
He followed the pictures in the book and controlled the flow of Qi and blood through various acupuncture points, and then through the internal organs, circulating endlessly.
His fist was now more powerful. With one punch, the rock in front of him shattered into pieces and sank a lot.
at the same time.
On the top floor of Jubao Pavilion, all the people who were going out of the city to complete the mission today had gathered.
Today, besides Sister Dao, there are only Chu Xiaoxiao, Wu Kui and Zhou Boyao.
When Sister Dao was about to take them downstairs, a familiar sound of footsteps coming up the stairs was suddenly heard. Then, a tall figure in a purple dress walked up and glanced at the group of people with a cold and arrogant look.
Sister Dao looked surprised and asked, "Are you going today too?"
Nangong Meijiao did not answer, but asked coldly: "Are all the people here?"
Sister Dao nodded and said, "We are all here, ready to go. If you want to go, you have to pay again."
Nangong Meijiao was silent for a moment, then turned around and went downstairs, saying calmly, "No, I'm here to buy something, and I'll come upstairs to take a look."
Sister Dao led the three people and followed her downstairs. Seeing her looking at the counter, her eyes flashed, and she turned to Chu Xiaoxiao and the other two behind her and said, "You go wait for me in the carriage first."
"oh."
Chu Xiaoxiao agreed and continued walking downstairs with the other two.
After the three of them went downstairs, Dao Jiefang walked over to the tall and slender figure, followed her gaze, glanced at the merchandise on the counter, and said, "The things here may be very necessary for ordinary warriors. But for you... you will definitely not like them, so there is no need to look any further."
Nangong Meijiao turned her head, gave her a cold look, and was about to leave with a step forward with her long legs wrapped in purple stockings.
Sister Dao suddenly said, "He didn't come today, and he probably won't come in a few days. He has now broken through to the Refining Organs Realm, and he probably won't come out again in the short term."
Nangong Meijiao paused, turned around and looked at her coldly, "Who are you talking about? Is it related to me? Do you think I came here today to look for someone?"
Sister Dao looked at her and said, "Isn't it?"
Nangong Meijiao sneered immediately: "How ridiculous! Who am I to take the initiative to look for someone? Who has the qualifications?"
After saying that, he left quickly.
Sister Dao suddenly looked at her slender back and said, "I know where he lives and his real name. Since you are not here to look for him, forget it."
Nangong Meijiao stopped at the stairs, paused, turned around and looked at her and said, "Self-righteous!"
After saying that, he went down the stairs with "thumps, thumps".
Sister Dao stood there for a while, then went over and went down the stairs.
The carriage was waiting at the door.
Just as she was about to walk towards the door, a figure suddenly walked out from the bookshelf next to her and said coldly, "I have an irreconcilable feud with that bitch! Tell me his real name and where he lives, and this bag of gold coins will be yours."
As he said this, he handed a bag of gold coins to her.
Sister Dao took a look and saw that there were at least 500 gold coins in it. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I really want it, but Miss, I'm sorry, those words I just said were just teasing you. I don't know his real name, let alone where he lives."
After saying that, he walked towards the door.
Nangong Meijiao stood there, stunned for a moment, and clenched the gold coins in her hand. Suddenly, she turned around and walked back.
"By the way, there's something I think you might be interested in knowing."
Sister Dao turned back and said something to her, then quickly walked to the corner of the bookshelf next to her, took two books from there, walked back and handed them to her, saying, "He bought these two books secretly, you can take a look."
Nangong Meijiao was stunned for a moment, subconsciously reached out to take it, and stared at the covers of the two books.
There were a few big words written on them: "Jade Foot Illustration", "Jade Foot Illustration 2".
Nangong Meijiao: "..."
Sister Dao smiled faintly, said nothing more, turned around and left quickly.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
In the secret room at the bottom of the Qin Mansion Lake, Luo Qingzhou was still practicing splitting stones.
Half an hour later.
He had already opened up another seven or eight meters of road ahead.
At this time, you can clearly feel the internal organs getting hot and a stream of air flowing rapidly between the organs.
When using the Mountain-Shaking Fist, both internal strength and physical energy are consumed extremely quickly.
Another half hour later.
He was finally exhausted.
Take a short break.
After eating some beef and taking out a porcelain bottle and dropping two drops of potion into it, he restored his internal strength and physical strength and continued to practice.
This time, we persisted until noon.
According to a rough estimate, a total of more than 20 meters of road was opened up throughout the morning.
More monster skeletons appeared on the ground.
The passage ahead became more winding, and the terrain began to extend downward, and a fishy smell filled the air.
The temperature also strangely became higher.
Luo Qingzhou rested for a while, left the passage and went to the bottom of the lake.
I took a shower, went ashore and changed into clean clothes.
He returned to the courtyard.
To practice internal energy, you also need to set aside enough time every day to breathe quietly.
The air underground is turbid and smelly, which is not suitable.
In the afternoon, he decided to take an hour to read and practice calligraphy.
If you want to take the high school entrance exam in the autumn, it is not enough to just have a photographic memory.
He must continue to read in depth, understand and think about the content of the books, and at the same time practice his handwriting better.
Any extra points are important.
After a simple lunch, when he was about to go back to the study to practice, Zhu'er suddenly came over in a hurry and said, "Sir, the second young lady wants you to go over. There are distinguished guests in the mansion, the master, the mistress and the second young master have all gone to the hall, and the second young lady wants you to go over and accompany her."
"Distinguished guest?"
Luo Qingzhou asked curiously: "Do you know who it is?"
Zhu Er whispered, "Son-in-law, it seems to be the Prince of the Southern Kingdom, and my cousin is also there."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
"Let's go."
The two of them left the yard together.
When they arrived at Meixiang Garden, Miss Qin was waiting under a big tree outside the gate, supported by Qiu'er.
The plain white dress and snow-white fox fur, as well as the frail body and beautiful face, seemed like the purest and most gentle scenery in the Qin Mansion. One glance at it would make one's heart as calm as water, and all worries and emotions would subside.
"Brother-in-law, the Prince of the Southern Kingdom is here."
When the girl saw him, a gentle smile appeared on her slightly pale cheeks, like sunshine in winter.
Luo Qingzhou walked up to her side, walked side by side with her, and said, "It might be because of last night's case. When he asked about it last night, my second brother's answer was unclear, so he probably doubted it."
Qin Weimo smiled slightly and said softly, "Brother-in-law, besides Anzi, there is also Sister Meijiao. The Prince of Nanguo is Sister Meijiao's father, brother-in-law should not know yet, right?"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned when he heard this, his face full of surprise.
Qin Weimo smiled and said, "Sister Meijiao came to Mocheng to escape her marriage. She had nowhere to go, so she came to live in our house. In fact, our Qin family has no relationship with them. As for the so-called cousin relationship, it is as distant as it can be. It is not a cousin at all. It is just that my mother's ancestors lived with Sister Meijiao's mother's ancestors, and then we got a relationship. So brother-in-law, the Prince of the Southern Kingdom will not show any favoritism to us."
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "I know. In fact, even if they are related, he probably wouldn't dare to do such a case."
The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at the hall.
Sitting in the middle of the hall, the gentle and elegant Prince of the Southern Kingdom, dressed in a dragon robe, was talking to Qin Wen Zheng.
Qin Chuan stood aside, sweating profusely.
The Prince of Southern Kingdom asked again about the capture of the Song family fugitive yesterday, but he hesitated and could not give a clear answer.
Song Ruyue stood aside and was also anxious.
After Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin II entered the hall, they bowed and saluted the Prince of the Southern Kingdom.
The Prince of Southern Kingdom glanced at the two of them, a gentle look appeared on his face, and he asked, "Second Miss Qin, I heard from your father that you were the one who planned to capture the Song family's fugitives and the accomplices of the Zhang family, Wang family, and Chengguo Mansion yesterday. Is that true?"
Qin Weimo bowed her head and said respectfully: "Your Highness, it was indeed planned by me."
The Southern Kingdom Prince smiled upon hearing this and said, "Women are as good as men. The talent and wisdom of the second daughter of Qin have impressed me. It's a pity that if she were a man, she would have a promising future."
Qin Weimo was silent for a moment, then raised her head and asked, "Your Highness, may I ask about the outcome of last night's trial?"
She knew that her brother-in-law was waiting for this result.
The living room was quiet for a moment.
The Southern Kingdom Prince hesitated for a moment before saying, "The mansions and properties of the four major families have been sealed, and the people have been arrested. However, whether it is treason or not, the final result still needs to be determined by the emperor after I bring the main suspects to Kyoto. Those people have admitted that they wanted to murder your Qin family, but they have not admitted to treason, and according to my investigation, they do not have the motive or action of treason. The Song family must be convicted, and as for the other families, I am not sure yet."
Qin Wenzheng, who was standing by, could not help but speak up: "Your Highness, the people from the Zhang family, the Wang family, and the Chengguo Mansion have all colluded with the Song family's treasonous fugitives. This alone should be enough to convict them, right?"
The Prince of Southern Kingdom looked at him and said, "Sir Qin, this matter needs to be decided in Kyoto. I am only conducting a preliminary trial now and cannot convict anyone at will."
Qin Weimo asked softly, "Your Highness, has the man from Chengguo Mansion confessed?"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.
The Prince of Southern Kingdom glanced at the two of them and said, "The eldest lady of Chengguo Mansion took all the blame on herself and insisted that no one in Chengguo Mansion knew about it. Of course, she only admitted to sending people to collude with the fugitives of the Song family to deal with you, and admitted to some insignificant charges. As for treason, she certainly did not admit it. And according to my investigation, Luo Yannian and others in Chengguo Mansion were indeed unaware of it. So this time when I return to Kyoto, I will only take her with me and continue the investigation."
After a pause, he continued, "No matter what the result is, her status as a royal consort will definitely be gone. And Chengguo Mansion's eldest son Luo Changtian may also be demoted and re-examined because of her relationship. As for whether she will be sentenced in the end, it depends on the emperor."
Qin Weimo was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for telling me this."
The Southern Kingdom Prince glanced at her and said with a smile, "The Second Daughter of Qin is not asking for herself, nor is she thanking you for herself. It seems that your Qin family is home to many talents. It is not easy for the Second Daughter of Qin to treat you like this."
Qin Weimo lowered his head and said nothing more.
At this time, a guard suddenly walked to the door and said, "Your Highness, the princess is here."
The Prince of the Southern Kingdom's eyes lit up, and he seemed to want to stand up. After thinking for a moment, he decided to sit there. At the same time, his expression became serious.
Nangong Meijiao, wearing a purple dress, walked in with a cold face. She bowed slightly to him and called out indifferently, "Daddy."
Then he just stood there, not saying a word, without any excitement or enthusiasm to see his father.
The Prince of Southern Kingdom looked at her slightly thin face, and the seriousness on his face suddenly became a little bit difficult to hold back. He sighed and said gently: "Mei Jiao, Daddy has already turned down the marriage for you. In the future, Daddy and your mother will not force you to do anything about your affairs. Let you make your own decisions. This time, Daddy took the initiative to accept this mission from His Majesty, just to take you back. Your mother, your eldest brother, and your sister are all very worried about you and miss you. Don't be angry, and go back with Daddy."
Unexpected.
This time, his stubborn daughter did not argue anymore, nor did she say another word. She just whispered "Oh" and agreed.
The mood seems to be a little low.
"Mei Jiao, what's wrong? Why do you look so worried?"
He frowned and asked worriedly.
Nangong Meijiao was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Dad, when are we leaving?"
The Southern Kingdom Prince said, "Tomorrow evening, Daddy will go to the Wine City. After all, Daddy has other tasks this time."
Nangong Meijiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Then Daddy will send someone to pick us up tomorrow evening. I still have some things to do."
The Southern Kingdom Prince said gently, "Do you need Daddy's help?"
Nangong Meijiao was about to shake her head, but after hesitating for a moment, she suddenly said, "Dad, then help me find someone."
The Southern Kingdom Prince's eyes moved and he said, "Okay, who is it?"
Nangong Meijiao was silent for a moment, then clenched his fists and said, "Enemy! Daddy, if I find him, I will bring him back to be my slave, okay?"
The Southern Kingdom Prince was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Of course."
Someone standing next to Miss Qin Er suddenly felt a chill all over his body, with cold sweat running down his back.
Unexpectedly, Princess Nangong suddenly turned around, walked towards him and asked, "Mr. Luo, can you draw?"
Luo Qingzhou was startled when he heard this. Before he could answer, Qin Weimo said softly, "Sister Meijiao, do you want to draw a portrait? Weimo will help you."
Nangong Meijiao nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to your place."
Then he turned around and said, "Dad, you go first. Leave someone here. When I finish the painting, I will have him send it over."
The Prince of the Southern Kingdom nodded and looked at the young man next to Miss Qin Er. He thought of what the princess said to him before she left last night, and her respectful attitude in calling him "Sir".
"Brother-in-law, go and give Wei Mo some reference. Wei Mo's painting may not be very good."
Miss Qin Er suddenly said to the young man beside her.
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled, followed the two of them, and left.
The Prince of the Southern Kingdom looked at his back and narrowed his eyes. After the three of them left, he turned around and asked, "Master Qin, is your son-in-law very familiar with the eldest princess?"
