The golden light outside is the talisman formation of Prince Jin's Mansion.

He deployed a large number of blood gluttonous shadow warriors near the Jin Palace.

After half a month, a conclusion was drawn.

If you want to sneak into Prince Jin's Mansion, you can only join the Prince's Mansion.

these days.

As long as they come to visit, some will leave discouraged, while others will come in with happy faces.

When recruiting retainers, you can only find out more information by becoming the other party's retainer first.

If he wanted to kill Lu Guangjing, he could only use this method first.

So he revealed himself and knocked on the door of Prince Jin's Mansion.

A porter opened the side door and rubbed his eyes: "Who, it's already so late, what are you doing in the palace?"

"Are you still recruiting diners?"

The shadow warrior's body was quite tall, and he wore a bronze beast face. He was very gloomy for most of the night, which directly made the concierge feel sleepy, and he said vigilantly:

"What do you know? What can you bring to His Highness?"

Lu Mingyuan had listened to Ban Yue's observation and already knew what he would ask, so he came up with the words he had prepared: "I know escape techniques and sword skills, and I can kill people for your highness."

The concierge nodded slightly: "Then you are going to be an assassin. It just so happens that our Highness is in short supply of guards. You can give it a try."

Several defeats in the Jin Palace have resulted in the loss of many masters within the palace. If there are capable people who have cultivated themselves and put themselves under his command, they will naturally be welcomed.

Lu Mingyuan naturally understands this truth, otherwise he wouldn't say that he is good at killing people.

There were countless assassins from the Jin Palace around him.

To say where these assassins died, most of them must have died because of themselves.

Everyone in the capital thought that the second prince was gentle, elegant, steady, strategic, and handsome, and that he was the best choice for the throne.

In fact, there are countless assassins and spies inside, and their eyes and ears are all over the capital.

The concierge took out a pen and paper from his sleeve, wrote a few words, stamped it, and handed it to Lu Mingyuan.

"Congratulations, you are qualified for the test. Come back in three days."

Lu Mingyuan took the rice paper and glanced at it. The result was a number: "C, one, two, seven, what does it mean?"

The concierge explained: "This is a number. You can use it to take part in the test three days later."

"good."

After saying that, he closed the door.

Lu Mingyuan put away the note, turned it into blood, and disappeared where he was, not wanting to admire the beauty of the Imperial Capital.

He knew that sneaking into Prince Jin's Mansion was only the first step.

The next step is to gain the other party's trust, which is the most important thing.

What he really wants to do is to let Lu Guangjing die and die with his heart broken.

If he dared to set up a trap against him, he would also let the other party have a taste of the trap.

Early the next morning.

Qingzhu Hall is very lively.

Because Qi Muxue came to Leng Palace early in the morning, and at the same time, there was also a heroic girl with a high ponytail, Huo Hongling, wearing a dark red military robe.

Lu Mingyuan looked at the two people in front of him, feeling very helpless.

According to the agreement, if he wanted to marry Qi Muxue and Huo Hongling, he would need to pay a betrothal gift. Both of them would be married as wives, but their titles were different. One of them must be the princess and the other the concubine.

Even so, it is already an unprecedented time.

Before he can confirm his identity and officially hold the marriage, he must go through three letters, six rituals, three matchmakers and six engagements. In the Great Yan Dynasty, there was also a rule that the fiancée had to serve tea to her future husband in the morning to show intimacy, which was considered a great rule of the Great Yan Dynasty. Etiquette before getting married.

Even Lu Mingyuan had never heard of this rule in his previous life. He felt that in ancient times, people were not allowed to meet each other before getting married. Of course, this was just one of the rules that Dayan had never heard of before.

It was originally agreed that Huo Hongling would be the one on odd numbers, and Qi Muxue would be the one on even numbers, and they would take turns.

It turned out that because Huo Hongling practiced martial arts too late, he remembered the wrong time and date.

It was the day that Qi Muxue was supposed to come, but she also came.

As a result, the atmosphere here is awkward now.

Lu Mingyuan and Qi Muxue greeted each other as easily as eating and drinking, but they were not familiar with Huo Hongling. They could only meet each other because of the marriage granted by the Holy Spirit, otherwise they would not be in contact with each other.

During the silence, Lu Mingyuan also looked at Huo Hongling carefully.

Huo Hongling is indeed beautiful, extremely young, no more than eighteen years old, no makeup, red lips, thin eyebrows, fair cheeks, her heroic aura overshadows her rouge aura, and she has a clean and neat temperament.

In addition, she has a noble birth, is the only daughter of a champion, has good martial arts talent, and is one-of-a-kind in figure and temperament. Together with these conditions, she is indeed a proud daughter of heaven. If she marries the prince of the Duke's family, the prince Duke, there must be a bunch of people rushing to get it.

It's no wonder he looked down on himself at the beginning. With his original urinary nature, he didn't get used to it when he first came here.

However, although she is outstanding, she is not that attractive to a guy like Lu Mingyuan who has seen countless women. In terms of appearance and temperament, he prefers Qi Muxue. In terms of obedience and obedience, she is not as good as Hongwan Ziyun. In terms of figure and charm, she is not as good as his sister-in-law Yang Yingchan. In terms of strength, she is not as good as Yun Qinghe.

This was also the reason why he did not agree when his mother came to Leng Palace to inform him of the marriage. First, he was afraid of delaying the girl, and second, he had foreseen the drama of breaking off the engagement in advance.

But who would have thought that the champion would still have to bear everything with his imperial decree.

If he really wants to get married, he will be responsible to the end, at least not to embarrass the other party too much.

He was sizing up the other person, and the other party was sizing him up.

Huo Hongling looked at Lu Mingyuan carefully. Almost after the two sides met, her eyes never stopped on Lu Mingyuan.

It's just that the other party didn't seem to be interested in her at all. He had a smile on his face before talking, and the topic in his mouth was always about Qi Muxue. He just said good morning to the sixth prince, because there was no topic between the two.

Is this really the rumored playboy?

It made her a little distracted and felt very uncomfortable.

She didn't want to compare with Qi Muxue, but she couldn't help but put herself in Qi Muxue's shoes. She felt that it might be difficult for her to compare with Qi Muxue.

Although most of the news about Lu Mingyuan in the capital during this period was negative, it was difficult to combine the rumored impression with the sixth prince Lu Mingyuan when he actually met him.

Lu Mingyuan used his "knowledge of people" to discern the hidden secrets of her embarrassment.

Obviously he refused to admit defeat. Going back would be equivalent to defeat in front of Qi Muxue.

It seems that she is also very persistent about her status.

"Your Highness, please give me tea."

Qi Muxue smiled slightly and handed him the brewed tea with an elegant gesture and thoughtful etiquette.

On the other side, things didn't go so smoothly for Huo Hongling.

In a hurry, she almost smashed a cup, but fortunately, she had quick eyesight and quick hands, and she caught it herself.

Lu Mingyuan held his head and looked at Huo Hongling who was serving tea awkwardly. He also had a headache. He couldn't help but said:

"Miss Huo, why do you have to force yourself? If you don't want to do it, just don't do it. There is no need to wrong yourself."

However, these words made Huo Hongling tremble.

The tip of her nose felt sore for a moment, she lowered her head and said:

"I see."

After saying that, he slowly left Qingzhu Palace.

Seeing this scene, Qi Muxue felt a flash of worry in her eyes:

"I guess Miss Huo is also helpless because of the shackles of the emperor's order. His Highness's move undoubtedly shattered her self-esteem and announced an ultimatum. The last straw in her heart is probably on the verge of collapse."

When Lu Mingyuan heard this, his eyes were very surprised. He did not expect Qi Muxue to speak for Huo Hongling.

He really didn't notice it.

But Qi Muxue, both a woman, could notice this.

"you are not"

Qi Muxue smiled softly: "I am not that kind of woman."

"Go and chase her. After all, Miss Huo is also a woman of good character. Behind her is a champion. Her words and deeds will inevitably be dignified. It doesn't hurt to be more tolerant."

Hearing this, Lu Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh that he was reasonable and broad-minded.

"Muxue, you really have the ambition to be a queen."

Hearing this, Qi Muxue's face turned red and said angrily: "Go quickly."

Lu Mingyuan quickly caught up with him.

We came to a bamboo forest landscape in the harem.

Huo Hongling was staring at a bamboo in a daze.

"Miss Huo, so you are here."

Lu Mingyuan quickly found her and scratched his head immediately.

"Are you OK."

Huo Hongling shook her head, her eyes were quiet, she clenched her fist and said:

"I'm fine. I'm just wondering why I'm not strong enough to support the Huo family, not enough to control my own destiny, not enough to allow my father to stay in the capital without any worries."

Lu Mingyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he could see the sadness in her heart.

A young girl who was born in the Marquis Mansion, seems to be strong and eager to win, but is extremely sensitive and silently endures everything as a woman.

He smiled slightly: "There are so many reasons in this world. There are things that saints can't do. Even martial artists at the end of martial arts have to accept the control of the court. Why should Miss Huo bother herself? Sometimes, take a step back and look around. Maybe you can let go of your obsessions with people and things around you and make yourself more relaxed.”

"There will be times when you can ride the wind and waves. Just hang up your sails and sail across the sea. Just look away."

When Huo Hongling heard this, her eyes were slightly dazed.

Recalling the past years.

She always regarded her father as her target in martial arts and had to be better than others in situations, otherwise she would not be able to take over her father's family business. She was afraid that others would think she was a woman and insult her title as a champion.

On the other hand, she wants to clear her father's name, and the champion house will definitely be no worse than any of the seven houses.

Nowadays, it seems that I don't need to do this. The name of the champion is still shining brightly and has never been covered with dust.

Looking at it this way, it was true that she had put too much pressure on herself.

Thinking of this, she felt a lot better.

Huo Hongling turned her head and looked at Lu Mingyuan with a complicated look in her eyes.

Before, she was still thinking about why Qi Muxue, as the most talented woman, fell in love with Lu Mingyuan.

Now, she seemed to understand vaguely.

"Thank you for your highness's comfort, but I have a request in my heart. I wonder if I can please your highness."

"you say."

Lu Mingyuan nodded.

"Let's compete openly and honestly. Last time, the two of us were too constrained and insulted martial arts. I feel that His Highness's strength should be more than this. This has always been a regret in my heart."

Huo Hongling said with piercing eyes that she had discovered some clues since the last fight. The sixth prince's martial arts cultivation did not seem to be as weak as imagined.

Seeing her posture, Lu Mingyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Another competition.

But there seems to be no room for rejection now.

You might as well try a few tricks with her and coax her back home.

So he nodded in agreement.

"good."
