As the sun sinks in the west, the slightly warm breath of March slowly dissipates, and the air is filled with a cool air, which lifts people's spirits.

The lanterns of Anle Wang's Mansion have been hung up, and in the twilight, it looks like a fire tree and silver flowers.

In front of the house, there is even more traffic, and flowers are blooming. Distinguished guests greet the door, in an endless stream, and it seems very lively.

After the curfew, it is the time for the ladies to be happy, and the nightlife of this day begins. Today, it's a big day, and they want to see a lot of fun. Let's see if the capital is fierce or the first in Hangzhou is arrogant. A teaching of the north wind and the south wind may be grandly staged.

Originally, there were some people who thought carefully, thinking that Jue Gongzi had been well-behaved recently, not as domineering as before, he should have learned to be a man, should he take advantage of the momentum of the Zhao family to bully him? But yesterday, when a hundred Xuanyi entered Beijing, they were shocked to realize that Jue Gongzi had just taken a nap for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he was still infiltrating!

Therefore, they have stopped such undue caution, and they will wait to see the wind first. I don't have other skills, I still have the ability to see the wind and rudder, and I still have the ability to fall into the lower stone. It depends on which of the two gusts of wind in the north and south will be stronger in the future.

There are not a few people who have such thoughts, but they both hide this thought in their hearts, with a dog-like smile on their faces, and they are inevitably polite before entering the house.

This one said: "Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss it very much." ”

That one said: "Brother Li, I haven't met for many days, and my style and clothes are old." ”

There are also those who don't deal with each other, and after meeting, they always have to say two sneering sentences, saying things like: "Oh, this Zhao Shizi is really getting more and more mixed up, why don't you even pay attention to such a dog?"

The one who was ridiculed followed up with a reply: "A man with broken sleeves who climbed down the crotch of a male dog to eat chicken, is he embarrassed to say this son?"

Then tension began on both sides, and the accompanying guards all pulled out their frames, ready for a firefight. However, such a scene did not happen. At this time, the old and sophisticated Zhao family steward led the relatives and friends who had made friends with the two and persuaded them to go back.

After the sun had hidden its last rays, except for those who were too valuable, the guests were basically there.

There are naturally many people with noble status, such as the four surnames, such as the son of the Ye family, such as the king of Fu'an County, and for example, Li Zhi'an. They will arrive after the banquet has officially begun.

And the prince of Anle Wang, Zhao Uneasy didn't seem to be in a hurry, and hung the guests in the garden of "Cherry Blossom Falling Rain" without greeting, and was listening to Du Qingyuan and Du Qingyuan in the study while listening to a guest report.

The guests who came now were not qualified to let Zhao Uneasy go out to entertain him, he was waiting for the arrival of those dignitaries.

With a slight drop, Du Qingyuan's sunspots were surrounded to death. After listening to the steward's words, Zhao Yi casually slapped the bright yellow folding fan on the palm of his hand, and said, "That is to say, Li Zhi'an's Xuanyi suddenly entered Beijing for the affairs of the palace?

The steward said: "This, it's not very clear, the servants have inquired about what to say, and it is said that the prince wants to ascend the throne as soon as possible, so he called a palace maid, and the supreme will be killed." I also heard that the crown prince and Concubine Dong had a conflict over a trivial matter, and sent Xuanyi to surround Concubine Dong. I also heard that it was the Dong family who sent people in the palace to poison the prince, but the matter was revealed, and the prince transferred Xuanyi into the palace. ”

Zhao Buxing smiled slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "That is to say, all you have heard is some brainless nonsense? Then what are you still doing here? Thinking that you were quite diligent in the past, you went to the account to pay 1,000 taels of silver as a settlement fee. ”

After saying this, the steward's face turned pale, and he knelt down, but he didn't dare to argue anything, and he kowtowed twice, and left the study.

Du Qingyuan casually dropped a chess piece and said lightly: "Just because of such a trivial matter, you drove away a confidant?"

Zhao Yi shook the folding fan lightly and said: "It's just a former confidant, I've been in this place in the capital for a long time, and I don't know which one bought it out." Thinking of his previous hard work, leaving him alive is also considered to be rewarded. ”

Du Qingyuan said: "It turns out that when the prince was still soft-hearted, Du always thought that the prince should be a master who killed people while smiling. ”

Zhao said uneasily: "Brother Du misunderstood, Zhao doesn't have such a cold heart, and he can't be ruthless." ”

Du Qingyuan was noncommittal, when he was a teenager, he went to the Divine Sword Villa, and was sent to Yujue by the "Shocking Sword" Xie Bu. Under Shangguan Jinghong's aggressive momentum, how could the characters of the Ping An Society not have a cold heart?

Rubbing the chess pieces in his hand, Du Qingyuan said: "Speaking of ruthlessness, Du remembered that the peerless son, who had been in Beijing for a few days, what did the prince think of him." ”

Zhao Uneasy stretched out the folding fan lightly, and said with a slight smile: "Although we haven't met, we are famous." If the name is big, it is actually not worthy of the name. ”

Du Qingyuan smiled: "Why is it not worthy of the name?"

Zhao Yi said: "The absolute son is ruthless, Xuanyi does not leave a living mouth, it seems that he is a ruthless and domineering character, but in fact, it is just a façade." If a person can really be ruthless, he will not show mercy everywhere, and his entanglements with those women, Brother Du must have heard of it. Zhao of the Li family still knows that Li Er is an amorous seed, and presumably the absolute son is no exception. ”

Du Qingyuan fell casually and said, "Maybe what the prince sees is just what the prince wants you to see? In fact, his essence is a cold-hearted hero?"

Zhao Yiyi shook the folding fan and said: "Impossible, Mr. Dongpo Yun: 'Zi Youzhi's writing is better than a servant, and the world doesn't know it, but he thinks it's inferior, he doesn't want people to know it, and his writing is like his person.'" This is the truth of Wen Ruqi, from Li Zhi'an's poems and words, you can see what kind of person he is. ”

"A character who can write such poems and scripts will definitely not be a ruthless and hard-hearted person. He is sometimes very emotional, sometimes he is very rational, even Zhao's favorite "Three Kingdoms" script, can not escape this strange circle, no matter how many conspiracies and calculations there are, the opening song "Linjiang Immortal" is full of literati emotion. How can such a character be ruthless? What does Brother Qingyuan think?"

Du Paiyuan nodded and said, "'A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, and many things in ancient and modern times are all laughed about. But so it was. The world's way of observing people is really ingenious, and Du admires it. ”

Zhao Buxing said modestly: "Brother Qingyuan has won the award, this kind of thing is not absolute, after tonight, you can only make a conclusion when you see the Absolute Son." ”

Du Qingyuan nodded, and then asked: "Then from the perspective of the world, who is the ruthless character on the rivers and lakes?"

Zhao Yi replied without thinking: "Money is the official." ”

Du Qingyuan asked, "Is there no one else?"

Zhao Anxing shook his head and said, "No, there is only this one." ”

Du Qingyuan asked again: "Isn't the 'Heaven-Shattering Sword' counted? In terms of swordsmanship, if you don't have ruthlessness, how can you practice such a divine sword?"

Zhao Buxing laughed twice, and already understood what Du Qingyuan meant when he asked him, which was nothing more than to want to know the specific details of his meeting with Xie Buyi back then, as well as the specific details of Shangguan Jinghong's negotiations, so as to find out what kind of character he was. You won't see what kind of character this son is. But you're an amazing character.

But he didn't hide it, Zhao Uneasy said bluntly: "Xie Jingtian sharpens his sword in the world, and his swordsmanship is all over the sky, so it's not an exaggeration to call it a 'Sword Saint'." But when Zhao went to Lushui Lake to meet him, he just talked to him for a few words, and he asked Zhao to leave, saying that although Zhao was talented, he was not a seed for sword practice.

Du Qingyuan frowned and said, "Jue Tongjue, which means farewell?"

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "Yes, just let Zhao not bother him in the future." is ridiculous, but it is rumored by unknown Jianghu people that Xie Jingtian admires Zhao, which is really ridiculous in the world. Since then, Zhao has never seen Xie Jingtian again. Such a character seems to be unkind, but it can't be called ruthless. ”

Du Qingyuan smiled and said: "Presumably, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Xie Jingtian fought against a group of mysterious masters, and his whereabouts are unknown. After that, if the great 'Divine Sword Villa' was destroyed in an instant, the prince would also be involved, right?"

Zhao Buxing glanced at him lightly, but did not answer, and continued the previous topic, and said: "As for Shangguan, this person is an excellent person whether it is the city government or the heart. After he met with Zhao, he only said three words. ”

Du Qingyuan said curiously: "Which three sentences?"

Zhao Buxing sighed and said, "First sentence, if you dare to take on such a big matter, you are also a character." ”

Du Qingyuan frowned and nodded slightly.

Zhao uneasy continued: "Second sentence, this seat can afford you and give you a chance to grow up." ”

Du Qingyuan asked, "What about the third sentence?"

Zhao Buyi sighed and said, "This seat is waiting for you." These are the three sentences, and nothing else. Every time he thought about it, Zhao was terrified. In particular, his eyes, although they seem playful, hide a deep indifference. When I looked at Zhao, I seemed to have seen a very interesting toy. ”

When Du Qingyuan heard the news he wanted to know, his heart sank, thinking of his father, the heroic appearance of the Perak Hall family, and he felt his heart tremble slightly. His own father is not as good as a money helper.

Zhao Buxing looked at him, and the corners of his mouth brought a playful smile, but he quickly hid it. If you want to make Perak Hall work for you, how can you do it without coming out of a big mountain? Thunderbolt and Money, the two most powerful of the Eight Gangs, will face each other sooner or later, if Du Qingyuan does not unite with him, then what way out does Perak Hall have?
