The morning breeze brings a rare freshness in summer, and the early hawkers wake up the sleeping people, and the shops on both sides of the long street open their doors one after another, and the streets gradually show a scene of prosperity. This is the eastern capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, no matter how tight the border war is, no matter how turbulent the domestic situation is, it has always maintained a consistent appearance.

Soldiers with neat steps shuttled through the streets, heading to the Sifang City Gate for rotation, and in the shops on both sides of the street, people would often take out the steamed buns they had just bought and stuff them into the hands of passing soldiers, smiling and watching them run into the distance.

"Hey, Rainbow Dash, I heard that your General Jiawei has won another battle?

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen, don't pull me, we have to rush to change the guard, you always eat this steamed bun, I'm leaving, I'm leaving." Rainbow Dash was pulled by Uncle Chen's waist and swayed from side to side, almost dragged out of the queue, he knew that Uncle Chen was bored every day and always liked to talk about his long and short things, and he didn't bother to bother with him, so he hurriedly broke free and returned to the team, Uncle Chen looked at their departing backs and smiled, turned around and turned to the people on both sides:" I heard that this General Wei is coming back soon, the mighty Marquis Mansion has made a great contribution this time, Jiuyuan has been in turmoil for a few years, but thanks to their father and son going into battle together, they drove out that group of barbarians, and that Meng Xiaohou Ye became the youngest Wei general in our Dajin at a young age. ”

"yes. Someone next to him took over the words and echoed and said: "I heard that the young general Mo Han has a deep friendship with him, and the two of them worked together to form the Royal Forest Army to fight against the thieves, but they did not suffer less, and now one of the two has calmed down the civil strife, and the other has driven away foreign enemies. ”

"Hey, it's really a blessing for the country that I have such talents in Dajin, so why worry about the country's fortunes and the people's morale. ”

"yes, yes. ”

The crowd dispersed after a sigh of emotion, no matter how colorful the discussion was, it was just a distant thing for them, every day they came across a stumbling tooth, gossiping, every day, just after speaking, but today, there was one person standing in it, listening to their words into their hearts.

"Emperor-master, these people are just idle and have nothing to do, they-"

With his fingertips slightly raised, Li Zongzhi interrupted what Zong Ran wanted to explain, first silently looked at General Wei's Mansion in front of him, and then turned around and walked away.

"Master!" Zong Ran shouted anxiously, signaling the guards behind him to follow closely to ensure the emperor's safety.

Damn, I shouldn't have let the emperor come here, after the war in Jiuyuan was calmed down, the people of the people had almost deified the little marquis, from the western Sichuan to suppress the water bandits, to the Dongyu to seize the building boat, from the ten directions to save the father to the brave Panlong Pass, and then to countless battles of all sizes, gradually there were more and more rumors about the little marquis, and more and more bizarre, and some people even said that they had seen a golden dragon flying in the sky where he had passed! That's a dragon, a symbol of the Son of Heaven, and those open-mouthed people don't know how much trouble they will make with what they say, and what kind of disaster will it bring to the little marquis!

Is the emperor angry? Even if you can't see his face, you can feel the displeasure he expressed, no wonder, although the little marquis has made meritorious contributions, no matter what, he is just a courtier, how can the glory of a courtier cover the sky!

"Master, master, let's be out for a while, the sun is hot as soon as it comes out, so let's go back." ”

Li Zongzhi hurried all the way, ignoring Zong Ran's shouts, seeing that the sun was rising higher and higher, and the temperature was getting hotter and hotter, Zong Ran was worried in his heart, and he followed for a while, only to find that he was standing in front of the door of the little marquis's mansion, and the emperor was looking at the gate of the mansion next to him motionlessly.

Flawless small building!

His Majesty......

Are you looking at that end?

Because they had not been inhabited for a long time, the two courtyards looked very bleak, the two gates were not far away, the vermilion doors were covered with a thin layer of ash, and the gilded brass rings were also eclipsed, revealing an indescribable desolation.

Li Zongzhi stood there, looking at the four big characters on the small door, and gradually became in a trance.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I still remember the night when I saw that person for the first time, when he ran out of Xiaozhu with anger and jumped into the lake, but he almost died of heart disease, and he saved him and pulled him back from the brink of life and death......

If......

Got it......

What will happen?

Will he stand by and let him live or die, or will he still stretch out his hands and pull him out of the water? Perhaps many things have been predestined in the dark, if he hadn't saved him at the beginning, how would he have his full help on the Jiuyuan battlefield today! Therefore, his fate and himself have already intersected, maybe it was from that night, or perhaps, it was doomed at the time of the destruction of the country!

Flawless, the war in Jiuyuan is over, Bai Yan is coming back, you ......

Are you coming back too!

Countless possibilities flashed in my mind, and my footsteps involuntarily headed towards that end.

Zong Ran looked at the emperor's actions blankly, and paused bitterly.

Oops, what does the emperor remember again? Since that night three years ago, he has been aware of the emperor's extraordinary affection for the flawless son, although he did not show anything, but from that day on the main hall of the Eastern Capital he personally lifted the siege for the prince, and later tacitly acquiesced to the little marquis for the prince to ask for flowers and cure all kinds of diseases, all of which showed his sincerity to others; ……

With a chill on his back, Zong Ran looked at Li Zongzhi's departing back in a daze, and broke out in a cold sweat for the absurd thoughts that suddenly popped up in his heart.

No, it won't! The emperor will never do that! The little marquis is coming back soon, no matter what, the mighty marquis is the meritorious man of this battle, since the flawless prince has abandoned his identity and status and the country's hatred and family hatred to be with the little marquis, it means that they have reached the point of life and death between them, such a feeling, how can it be said that it can be dismantled!

No, he must have guessed wrong, the emperor finally got back a piece that should have belonged to him, and he thought he was diligent in government and loved the people, worked hard to govern the country, and was a good emperor admired by all the people, how could he do things contrary to common sense for his own selfishness.

"Zong Ran. ”

"The minister is here!" The sudden call made Zong Ran come back to his senses, he took a few steps forward and bowed down to obey the order, and heard the emperor say: "This courtyard has not been occupied for a long time, there is too much dirt and dirt, go and let people come and clean it, don't break anything in the house, every cent must be as it was originally placed." After a pause, he said again: "The little marquis's mansion at the other end is too, it is all cleaned, Bai Yan will definitely not go to live in the general's mansion when he comes back, he wants to be closer to Xiaozhu, I, I will return his wish." ”R638
