In a small building not far away, at the end of the table sat a young man dressed in purple clothes, the man was delicate, but he gave people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, so that people did not dare to approach.

Behind the man in purple stood a man a few years older than him. This person Yushu is in the wind, his temperament is extraordinary, he is holding a white scabbard in his arms, and his expression is solemn.

"Sure enough, there are dragons and phoenixes among people, and the spirit is magnificent, even if we are princes, we are willing to bow down. The man in purple sighed.

"Being able to walk here from Luochuan, I have to say that this Chu Yi is really not simple. ”

The purple-clothed man nodded and said: "The power of one person to found Yanling Academy, and became a closed disciple of Mr. Guiwu, and the first place against Xiangshan Academy, and his student Dai Yu worshiped under the town guard Wang Anmen, these are not ordinary people can do." It is reasonable for my fourth brother to be deflated under him. ”

"It's a pity. Picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon, otherwise it's really hard to say. The man said lightly.

The purple-clothed man smiled slightly: "My fourth brother is naturally arrogant, so naturally he will not take him who was once useless in his eyes. If I had met him first, I might have done the same. At least, though, it won't force him to someone else's side. ”

"However, what I'm most curious about is how he survived from the hands of Xuantian Sect to now?" the purple-clothed man wondered.

"There's something unspeakable behind everyone. At the moment, the most important thing is the attack on Tiger Hill, which seems to be full of doubts. The man whispered.

"What is the opinion of the sect?" asked the purple-clothed man.

"Although the traces of the fighting method over there have been erased by the people of the Tianji Battalion, one thing is certain, there was not only one one-armed Dao Gu that day, there should be one more person. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Since the one-armed Dao Gu is a person from the Demon Gate, then the other person should be from the Xuanmen. Could this person be by Chu Yi's side?" the man speculated.

"Perhaps. However, I need a chance encounter without a trace now, and I will meet our Dean Xiao Chu for a while. The man in purple laughed.

Under Xu Zhong's escort, Chu Yi finally squeezed out of the crowd and got into the carriage prepared in advance.

"Big brother, these people are all here for you. The name of the big brother is the best in Kyushu. Wen Tingkai said excitedly.

Chu Yi smiled faintly and said: "As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. If you are too famous, it is easy to provoke right and wrong. ”

Wen Tingkai said disapprerovingly: "The body is not afraid of shadows. These are not deliberate actions of the eldest brother, but they are acting from the heart, how can they put the eldest brother in a crisis?"

Chu Yi stretched his waist, didn't explain much, and sighed: "In ancient times, many people were mistaken by false names, and it is better to be false than to lose their reputations." ”

Since ancient times, many people have been delayed by worldly fame, or tempted by fame and fortune in front of them to change their principles

Wen Tingkai didn't agree with this point of view in his heart, but he knew in his heart that his argument was very weak in front of his eldest brother.

Sometimes he feels proud, sometimes he feels inferior, and sometimes he feels jealous, especially when all eyes are on his big brother.

He didn't know where this jealousy came from, but there was always a faint voice in his heart asking him: Why not me, why not me?

Since arriving in Kyoto, this feeling of jealousy has become even stronger. Because standing beside him, he is like air in the eyes of others, turning a blind eye, and forever becoming the green leaf that sets off the flower.

And there are too many green leaves in the world, so many that no one pays attention, just waiting for the green leaves to turn yellow, and disappear between the world with the autumn wind and cold rain.

So, he didn't want to be such a green leaf. And just last night, someone sent him a letter, on which there were only four lines: The moon and stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south; The three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed? The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep. Zhou Gong vomited and fed, and the world returned to the heart.

When he finished reading the letter, he couldn't sleep for a long time.

Because, the person who sent the letter only told him two words: Xiangwang.

Who is the king of the prime minister? It is the third prince of today, the king of the prime minister, Li Jingtai, who is known as the "virtuous king" in the market.

He thought about it for a long time, thinking of the downfall before he met Chu Yi, the self-confidence after meeting Chu Yi, the jealousy in his heart, and the expectation of great ambitions in the future.

These, his eldest brother may be able to bring him hope. But he was worried, and the relationship between Chu Yi and Li Jingyou, the king of Yue, had reached the point of endless death.

Although the king of Yue is in a fiefdom, how can there be no one in Kyoto?

If he enters the court as an official one day, he will definitely become the first target of the Yue Wang's forces.

In addition, the attack on Tiger Hill made him feel a strong sense of crisis.

If he really died in the hands of that reckless man, he would not be able to display those grand ambitions in his heart. He was still very young and had a lot to do, and he didn't want to follow his eldest brother in the feat of moths fighting fire.

Last night, I had no sleep all night, tossing and turning.

Just as the east was dawning, Wen Tingkai made the most important choice in his life, he wanted to become a staff member of the Prime Minister's side. He believes that with his talent, he will be appreciated by the Prime Minister.

Once there is the help of the king, it is just around the corner to become an official.

It's just that even if you want to leave, you have to make it clear to Chu Yi. He can have today because of the meeting, acquaintance, and acquaintance in Baiyun Temple. He didn't want to be the villain who crossed the river and demolished the bridge.

But after all, he chose to leave for the sake of his future. This kind of departure may have the flavor of the backplate.

It's just that he firmly believes that his choice will not be wrong. If you are wrong, you can only bear it yourself, even if you are infamous as a traitor.

"What do you want?" Chu Yi asked in a low voice when he saw that he was distracted.

Wen Tingkai panicked for a moment, and squeezed out a smile to cover the uneasiness in his heart.

"Big brother, I see that other academies are preparing for the competition, why do we still have to come out to play?" Wen Tingkai found a topic.

Chu Yi scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Kung fu is used in ordinary times." When it comes to the critical moment, the more important thing is the mentality. ”

Immediately, he looked at Xu Bo beside him and asked with a smile, "What do you say?"

Xu Bo smiled lightly and said, "What Childe said is very true. The sages have clouds, they are not chaotic when they are busy, they must be able to cultivate their minds in their idleness, they are not moved when they die, and they must see through things when they are alive. ”

Chu Yi put his arm around his shoulders and said in appreciation: "It's still our classmate Xu Bo who has a high pattern." ”

Xu Bo smiled shyly, and when he looked up, he inadvertently saw the displeased look on Wen Tingkai's face, and even mixed with disdain.

Xu Bo silently put it in his heart and pretended not to see it, but he was very puzzled in his heart, why did Brother Wen behave abnormally today and give him a sense of strangeness?

The carriage Xu Zhi, the atmosphere in the carriage seemed a little strange.

Just then, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Xu Zhong lifted the curtain and said in a low voice: "Childe, in front of you is the carriage of Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War." ”

Chu Yi nodded and did not speak.

At this time, Chu Jianfeng was sitting in the carriage, thinking about the trivial matters in the court, and couldn't help but gently soften his temples.

Chu Yi, a close disciple of Mr. Guiwu and the dean of Yanling Academy, represented Yunzhou in the Wenhua Competition.

These three things, Chu Jianfeng would not believe that his stupid son could do it?

But now, his son lives in Zhilan Qingyuan, and has become a controversial figure in the mouth of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

He fought all his life, and was fortunate to return to Kyoto from the frontier and served as the secretary of the military department, which was a key step in the transition from military to civil. How do you know that his son is taller and farther than him, which is really unexpected?

Thinking of this, Chu Jianfeng couldn't help but laugh.

The eldest son Chu Huai is in the frontier, and the younger son Chu Yi is in Kyoto, one martial arts and one literati, complementing each other, and the status of the Chu family in the Southern Tang Dynasty may be on a higher level.

However, he also knew in his heart that behind him, there were still many pairs of eyes staring at him, and as long as he was careless, he would be dragged into the water.

As the secretary of the military department, and his prestige in the Shuofang army has not decreased, if he can get his support, it will definitely be a great help in the struggle for the position of prince.

Therefore, Chu Jianfeng has become the object of competition among many princes. To this day, however, he remains neutral.

He knew Emperor Li Shixun too well, and at the moment he seemed indifferent to the small actions of the princes in private. But if you really want to move, it will definitely be resolute, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and will not give the opponent any power to fight back.

Moreover, it is the most taboo thing for the prince to befriend the ministers of the court. At a time when the battle for the prince is still unclear, he will not be stupid enough to jump into the fire pit by himself.

But right now, what he is most worried about is that his son Chu Yi has become the target of the princes. If Chu Yi can't resist the temptation and gets too close to a certain prince, then he, as a father, may not be able to escape the involvement.

I originally wanted to explain this matter to him at night. But I'm worried that it's too late, and my son jumps on a certain prince's thief ship. By then, it will be too late to disembark.

So, after thinking about it, he decided to go to Zhilan Qingyuan in person to take his son back to his home.

Do you want to get out of the car? Chu Yi couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Because, he doesn't know what kind of posture to use to face this father?

A moment later, Chu Jianfeng's carriage passed by him and drove in the direction of Zhilan Qingyuan.

Chu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Let's go." ”
