A red tasseled spear.

Wei Ting took it with great vigor.

Qin Canglan picked up a long sword: "Come on, let's fight!"

Wei Ting said: "Then please teach me, grandfather."

"The first move, the dragon enters the sea!"

Qin Canglan held a sword in his hand and slashed towards Wei Ting like a dragon.

Wei Ting held the spear to block.

This was the first time he had a serious fight with Qin Canglan. Earlier in Lihua Lane, the two of them only exchanged one move, and it was obvious that Qin Canglan was not serious.

This time, Qin Canglan intended to teach him a lesson, so he used a bit more force. After a few moves, Wei Ting's arms were slightly numb.

Qin Canglan used one move after another.

"A man should have good waist strength!"

"You need to have enough leg strength!"

"Strong arm strength!"

"Release and retract freely!"

Qin Canglan possesses decades of powerful internal strength, and his martial arts realm has long reached the peak. Although Wei Ting suffered a bit in the fight with him, he actually benefited a lot.

Qin Canglan knew to stop when to stop. He couldn't really beat the man up, otherwise his precious granddaughter would be angry.

He picked up Wei Ting's red tasseled spear with a sword, threw it back on the shelf, and put the long sword back into the scabbard on the shelf.

"Your grandfather's Red Tassel Spear was unmatched in the Great Zhou Dynasty. You still need to practice!"

"Yes, Xiaoqi will remember this."

Wei Ting admired Qin Canglan's martial arts from the bottom of his heart, so he was naturally not arrogant in his attitude.

Qin Canglan waved his hand: "Come back to practice tomorrow morning."

“To-tomorrow morning?” Wei Ting was stunned.

Qin Canglan said, "Ah, I forgot that you have been reinstated. Then come back after the court session. I will wait for you. Anyway, I have resigned and have nothing to do."

Wei Ting: Is this a question of whether you have time or not? Qin Canglan: Oh, let my granddaughter be a punching bag in your house, then you come over and be my punching bag! If your sisters-in-law beat my granddaughter a few times, I will beat you twice as much!

Wei Ting: I suddenly miss being a live-in son-in-law...

After the discussion, Su Xiaoxiao also brought over a large bowl of lotus seed soup.

Qin Canglan immediately radiated a kind glow: "Xiao Qi is good, your martial arts have improved."

Wei Ting smiled wryly: "Grandfather, your advice is good."

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "What are you talking about?"

Qin Canglan smiled and said, "Nothing, just a little exchange. It smells so good, is it lotus seed soup?"

"Yes." Su Xiaoxiao nodded. "Ergou and Dahu have already sent it over. This bowl is for you."

She filled two bowls, one for Qin Canglan and one for Wei Ting.

While Qin Canglan was drinking lotus seed soup, Su Xiaoxiao told him about Prime Minister Guo and the portrait.

"The eldest princess? I did hear that she became a nun." Qin Canglan frowned deeply. "Huayin had contact with her for a while, but later... Huayin's relationship with the empress dowager became strained, and she was caught in the middle and did not visit her often. A few years after her wedding, she moved to Qingzhou with her husband. Every time Huayin returned to her hometown to worship her ancestors, she would stay in her mansion for a while... Later, her husband became seriously ill, so she and his husband returned to Beijing for treatment. Two years later, her husband passed away."

Speaking of this, Qin Canglan paused, "How could it be her?"

Qin Canglan also found it hard to believe.

But on second thought, Huayin was murdered in Qingzhou.

Qingzhou is the fief of the Grand Princess, and she knows Huayin's whereabouts very well...

Although Huayin was killed by Qin Jiang's mother, could there be a Grand Princess behind it? Qin Canglan said, "But she had no reason to harm Huayin."

There was silence for a moment.

Qin Canglan asked, "There is a welcoming banquet tonight. Are you going to go there directly from here, or go back to the Wei family first?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Let's go back to the Wei family first and send Dahu, Erhu and Xiaohu back."

Qin Canglan nodded: "Okay."

Su Cheng was betrayed so badly by his own father that he got drunk and passed out. He didn't wake up until his daughter and son-in-law left.

In the evening, Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting entered the palace for a banquet.

The banquet will be held in Qilin Hall.

After getting off the carriage, the two walked towards the Qilin Hall.

Wei Ting looked around.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, you're going to meet your Princess Beiyan again. Are you looking forward to it?"

Wei Ting's face darkened: You can't get over this joke, right? You must not argue at this time, otherwise she will have ten thousand crooked reasons to make you uncomfortable.

Wei Ting decisively got down to business: "This year's tribute from Northern Yan is only half of last year's."

Su Xiaoxiao snorted: "So perfunctory?"

Wei Ting said calmly, "When asked, they just cry poor, saying there is a severe drought in the north, natural disasters and man-made disasters, but the dowry of the princess they sent to the Western Jin Dynasty is very valuable."

"Northern Yan has made up its mind to win over Western Jin." Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Who is coming from Western Jin this time?"

The two continued walking forward.

Wei Ting said: "The Western Jin emperor's younger brother, Prince Li, the Western Jin emperor's daughter, the Western Jin princess, and several ministers."

Su Xiaoxiao seemed to be thinking: "The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty is here too? This is quite a big event."

Wei Ting was surprised at her sensitivity in politics: "In the past, only one royal family member from the Western Jin Dynasty came, but this year three came. Of course, the little princess is the daughter of the Western Jin Dynasty's princess. She came here for fun and has nothing to do with politics."

After a pause, he continued, "But it's not hard to understand. Beiyan sent a princess to marry. No matter who she marries, it may threaten the status of the princess of the Western Jin Dynasty."

Su Xiaoxiao understood: "So she is here to make an alliance."

Wei Ting nodded: "That's right, if Beiyan hadn't intervened, she would have formed an alliance with the Great Zhou, but now, everything has changed."

As the two were talking, a woman suddenly screamed in front of them: "Ahhh! Don't come over here! Go away!"

It's Princess Hui'an! Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting hurried over to the sound.

Princess Hui'an had just fallen off a horse and was injured. Today she was out strolling around the garden in a wheelchair. Unexpectedly, while she was strolling, a small golden snake fell from the sky and landed on her dress.

She couldn't run away, and she didn't dare to take it.

Xiao Shunzi reached out to grab it, but it slipped and fell on her shoulder.

Su Xiaoxiao shot out a silver needle, which knocked the snake flying and nailed it to the ground.

"Princess, it's okay."

Hearing the familiar voice, Princess Hui'an raised her pale face, finally threw herself into her arms, and burst into tears.

"Wow...why did you come just now? You scared me to death just now..."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Princess, don't wipe your snot on me."

Princess Hui'an sobbed and uttered, then stood up and stretched out her hand to Xiao Shunzi.

Xiao Shunzi respectfully handed her a handkerchief. She wiped her tears, blew her nose, and continued to cry in Su Xiaoxiao's arms.

Wei Ting was speechless as he watched this scene. Why did he feel that the whole world was trying to snatch his wife from him? At this moment, Princess Beiyan came over from the path with a smile on her face and asked in a pretentious manner, "Did you see a little golden snake? It was the pet of the little princess of the Western Jin Dynasty. She accidentally lost it just now, and we are all helping to find it."

It broke 9,000 at noon and 10,000 in the early morning. This is the first time that Xin Xiaoxiang has broken 10,000 in a single month. It's so exciting. I'm going to write some more. See you at 3:00! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
