The seventh day of the second month of the year 250 of the Great Yin calendar.

Good luck, everything is suitable.

The dark night faded little by little, the gray clouds in the sky were torn open by an invisible hand, the bright light of the faint light sprinkled from the gap, the whole world was bright and vivid, Wang Jie, who had just slept for less than two hours, just walked to the door of the study courtyard with a stack of books, and couldn't help but look up at this time.

The clouds split the sky, and there was a faint trace of red light in the place where the light was exposed, not the morning glow, not the morning sun, faintly floating and fleeting, Wang Jie, who was looking directly, was shocked, he shrunk his neck suddenly, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and when he looked at it again, the red light had disappeared, Wang Jie subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and turned into the study!

Luo Shunhua just got up at this time, the four maids held the Huafu noble ornament and stood in front of the inner room where he lived, when Wang Jie went in, he saw that the subordinates were carefully pulling his hair for him, Luo Shunhua stood up over the years, and there was a silver white between the hair, because today was the sword trial meeting, he deliberately combed the high crown, Luo Shunhua was handsome, and he boasted of being noble, quite a two-point demeanor, but he had been too tired recently, and he was worried about everything, and the tiredness on his face was difficult to hide, and the whole person was a lot older.

"Master Hou, the sword mound is ready!"

Luo Shunhua's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his face suddenly brightened, and he turned his head to look at it and said with satisfaction, "It's still early, and the guests are afraid that they haven't gotten up yet, so don't worry, let's have breakfast later." ”

Wang Jie hurriedly nodded, and said, "Master Hou, ...... candidates for today's entry into the Sword Shrine?"

Luo Shunhua's eyes narrowed slightly, "I'm enough for one person." ”

Wang Jie hesitated, "But when the villain went to the sword shrine just now, he heard several masters say that the sword that has been raised for seven years is quite fierce, and he is very worried about your safety, if you are only alone......"

"Since I decided to go alone, I am completely sure. ”

As he spoke, Luo Shunhua's high crown was erected, he stood up, and immediately someone came to change his clothes, and the complicated clothes were put on one by one, and even Luo Shunhua's drooping old color was covered by five points, he stood in front of the mirror with a calm demeanor, and the whole person was outstanding and high-spirited, and he was really full of the demeanor of the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion!

Luo Shunhua looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction, turned around and went out, and asked, "Where is the third young master?"

Wang Jie smiled when he heard this, "The third young master got up before dawn, and he is also watching from the sword mound right now." ”

The corners of Luo Shunhua's lips curved slightly, as if he was very relieved of Luo Chengxin, he turned around and walked to the big study, walked two steps and suddenly touched his sleeve, but frowned, Wang Jie watched from the side and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with Master Hou?"

Luo Shunhua narrowed his eyes, "What about the key I carry?"

Luo Shunhua has a keychain on his body that never leaves his body, and the keys on it are all in a critical place, but now they are gone?

Wang Jie frowned, "Did you fall into the inner room when you changed your clothes?"

Luo Shunhua hurriedly turned around to look for it when he heard this, and the people didn't dare to be careless when they saw that he didn't look good, Wang Jie commanded, everyone followed and searched, Luo Shunhua has been living here since he left the plum garden, and the inner room layout is not very complicated, but such a big room is looking for a quarter of an hour without seeing the key.

Luo Shunhua was still in a relaxed good mood, and his expression was quite depressed.

Wang Jie had no choice but to say, "Master Hou, did you fall somewhere else?"

Luo Shunhua squinted, "I haven't used it since I opened the box last night, and I don't leave it on my body on weekdays, except here, I really can't think of where it will fall......!

Luo Shunhua said and swept the surrounding people with a cold gaze, the maids were all full of panic, for fear that Luo Shunhua would blame which of them, Wang Jie also broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and said busily, "Master Hou, you go and work on yourself first, let them continue to look for it here, maybe they will find it later." ”

There are too many things today, Luo Shunhua took a shallow breath and had to admit this reason, said a few more words, and turned around and went to the study!

There was a roster of all the guests on the bookcase, Luo Shunhua opened the roster and looked at it carefully for a while, then took a pen and sketched it on the roster, and then handed it to Wang Jiedao, "These people can enter the sword mound together, and the rest of the people are waiting outside." ”

Wang Jie took a look, but as he expected, he nodded hurriedly, "Okay, the villain understands." ”

Wang Jie looked at the people who were about to leave, and then remembered something, "Master Hou, the people are going to prepare the sacrificial things, do you want to hand over the token to them? The master who invited the sacrifice is also about to arrive, and you can't enter the first gate without the token." ”

The sword mound is the most important place in the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, without Luo Shunhua's token, it is not even possible to get close, Luo Shunhua nodded, lowered his head and pulled open a drawer in his hand, he was going to take the token, but the moment he opened the drawer, he saw something that should not appear in this drawer, and he was stunned for a while.

Wang Jie frowned, "Master Hou?"

Luo Shunhua squinted his eyes and reached out to take out the thing from the drawer!

But it was the keychain he thought he had lost!

Wang Jie didn't react immediately when he saw it, and was stunned before he smiled, "Master Hou has found it?!"

Luo Shunhua's face was full of doubts, "How can it be in this drawer, I never put the key in the drawer." ”

Luo Shunhua said and looked through the keychain, but saw that there was nothing unusual, Wang Jie thought for a while and said, "Last night, the Hou Ye came to the study from the sword casting platform, and then ...... Did Master Hou inadvertently put it in the drawer and forgot about it?"

Last night, Luo Shunhua went to the sword casting platform first, and then went back to the study, and then he was very angry because of Luo Lingjun's matter, and even he couldn't remember whether he took out the key after he finished doing it, although he couldn't remember clearly, but the key was found in the end, Luo Shunhua breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would be able to see Cangya in a few more hours and didn't think about anything else.

"Perhaps, if only I got it back. ”

He put the key back into his sleeve, took the token to Wang Jie, and put the matter on the spot for a while

card to Wang Jie, forget about this matter for a while!

After a delay, the sky was already bright, but the sky was gray and dreary without the morning glow, and the clouds in the east converged, more like a rainfall, Wang Jie walked on the path in the house and his heart was beating straight, I don't know how to always think of the red light that Shi Cai saw, and the people who followed him couldn't help but remind him when he looked strange, "Did the housekeeper forget to bring food to his wife?"

Wang Jie stood on the ground with a pause, his brows furrowed tightly, and the subordinates on the side hurriedly said, "There are many things to do today, if the housekeeper is busy, you can order the villain to do it for you, I believe that the lady and the marquis will not blame the housekeeper." ”

The subordinate was in the intention of flattering, but Wang Jie's face became darker and darker when he heard it.

He stood there for a while, then turned around and headed towards the plum garden, "Forget it, I'll go." ”

·

The sky is bright, the entire Huaiyin Marquis Mansion is busy, but the guest house is still calm, the guests get up according to the habit of weekdays, and then rest after breakfast, there is no change because it is a sword test conference, everyone is either rich or expensive, there are not a few big scenes that have been seen, whether it is worth their pay today, it all depends on how the sword that is about to be born.

The snow courtyard is also as quiet as usual, when she opens her eyes in the morning and evening, the side is empty, but she sleeps peacefully in her brocade quilt, she is warm all over her body, and there is no usual cold feeling of hands and feet, look down, she is well dressed, even the corners seem to be tucked away, day and night quietly open her eyes, fixed to look at the complex pattern on the top of the tent.

A person can do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, since every word and deed has a purpose, he will definitely seek results, but at this point, it is unreasonable to think about it, since he is not for ambiguity, why do he do more?

She should have woken up in his arms this morning, and now she woke up alone under her brocade quilt, as if nothing had happened last night, so wouldn't everything he did in vain?

The whole body is very warm, and even her heart is warm.

After thinking for a long time, she didn't come up with a clue, she simply sat up, in a blink of an eye, it was already dawn outside, but the sky was a little gloomy, today, it didn't seem to be a sunny day, she squinted her eyes for a moment, lifted the bed and dressed on the ground, Zi Jing heard a sound outside and entered the door, and smiled when she saw her, "Princess, today is the sword test conference, it's so lively outside!"

Zi Jing has the happy nature of a young man, and she is not strange day and night, she only dresses herself up, and when she wants to put on makeup for her, she can't help but shake her head and refuse, "It's still as usual, no need to dress up." ”

Zi Wei frowned, "Princess, today is a big day, everyone else will be dressed up to attend!"

The jaw was slightly raised, and the rouge gouache that Zi Jing had just taken out pushed aside.

"They are them, I am me. ”

Zi Wei pursed her lips and didn't dare to say more, just for the morning and night to pull a short bun, swept her eyes, and took out the red dress she usually wears, but it was a wide sleeve long swing, she was a little careful, when she saw the clothes, she frowned slightly, glanced at her but didn't say much, only turned around and raised her hand by Zi Wei to change her clothes, Zi Jing was overjoyed when she saw it!

"It doesn't matter how others dress up, our princess Qingshui Hibiscus is gorgeous!"

These words are used to hearing these words from her mouth day and night, and she is silent at the moment, and walks out of the inner room after changing clothes, and immediately sees Shang Jue talking to Fu Lan in the warm pavilion, seeing her appear, Fu Lan first stood up and said "puff", and then looked at Shang Jue and said, "I'm just afraid it's fun today, I said that I would take me there, hehe, I'll go back and prepare, call me when you leave!"

Fu Lan turned around and walked out, walked to Chaoxi's side and looked her up and down, and then nodded and went out!

Raising his eyebrows day and night, Shang Jue stepped forward with a smile, "Don't worry about him, go eat first." ”

After Shang Jue finished speaking, he walked in the front, not mentioning anything else, and followed him to the side hall day and night, only to see that breakfast had been prepared, probably because today was the sword test conference, so the breakfast was also extraordinarily rich, Zi Wei saw that the two of them were eating together, and there was a smile on the face, and immediately came forward to enthusiastically cloth chopsticks for the two, "Princess, I don't know how long it will take to test the sword today, you can use more, the slave and maid see that the formation outside is very large, what do you like to use?"

Zi Wei glanced at it, deliberately pushed a porcelain cup forward, and said with a smile, "Princess, Your Highness, this is specially sent today, it has never been before, it is a unique golden black silver fish in Shu!

Rare is expensive, this gold house whitebait can not survive elsewhere, and there are only three or four days to catch and eat, naturally it is hard to find, Zi Wei said to open the lid of the porcelain cup, and immediately there was a fragrance to the face.

Chaoxi looked at the cup of fish soup with a trance, and blurted out, "This thing is indeed golden, if it is not familiar with the habits of this thing, it is difficult to catch, it is not seen every year in the royal family, I have only seen this thing once in my life, it was twelve years ago." ”

Twelve years ago, Chaoxi was still the princess of Shu.

Princess Zhuang Ji never died of illness, her identity is extremely noble, to this golden house silverfish edible season, the royal family's dining table is naturally inevitable, and then left Baling, she became a disaster star, to Huaiyin is a guest to be trampled on, where can I see this thing, and then came to Zhao State, even if Zhao Yi gave her a lot of favor, but Zhao Country did not have this thing.

So, twelve years have passed.

Zi Wei also heard the depth of her words, thinking of the bumpy life experience of the morning and night, her brows were also furrowed, and she hurriedly and eagerly put up a small bowl of fish soup for the morning and evening, and said with relief, "The princess has returned to Shu now, and you can see this little fish every year in the future, and I don't know what they do, if the princess likes it, the slave and maid will also learn it......"

As Zi Wei spoke, a bowl of fish soup had been handed to Chao Xi, and Chao Xi was reaching out to pick it up, but was blocked by a hand stretched out halfway, Zi Jing and Chao Xi were stunned together, and they both turned their heads to look at Shang Jue, Shang Jue

Shang Jue, Shang Jue calmly took the fish soup in Zi Jing's hand, and the back end was placed in front of him, Zi Jue raised his eyebrows, this is not what Shang Jue will do!

Zi Jing was surprised, but the day and night were quite calm, but she looked at Shang Jue's gaze very deeply......

"How do you know?"

This sudden question, Zi Wei was completely stunned on the ground, she didn't know what she was asking at all, and then looked at Shang Jue, he was still calm and calm, seeing him silently, Chaoxi continued, "How do you know that I can't eat this thing?"

Robbing her to eat was indeed not something Shang Jue would do, he only did it because he wanted to stop her!

Chaoxi's brows became tighter and tighter, and his tone was cold mixed with doubts, "That year in the Baling Palace, the royal family got this thing and gave it to the queen mother, and it was okay for others to eat this thing, only I had a high fever after using this thing, and I was born with the name of the evil star, and this kind of precious thing came to me but it must fall into the hands of people, and the queen mother deliberately blocked the news to protect my reputation, except for one or two cronies, no one else knew, and those people had already died, how did you know?"

Chaoxi's tone was calm, but he had the power of oppression, Zi Xing's expression changed slightly when he listened, and he hurriedly bowed and retreated, there were only two people left in the room, and the corners of Shang Jue's lips curled slightly, "Lonely ......"

"You don't have to find excuses. ”

Interrupted day and night, Shang Jue smiled slightly bitterly, "Lone won't lie to you." ”

Chaoxi narrowed his eyes, "In that case, how did you learn about this?"

Shang Jue took a shallow breath, "I can't tell you now." ”

Chaoxi frowned, his eyes seemed to be filled with anger, Shang Jue sighed lightly, and prepared other food for her, "Sooner or later, you will know that Gu is talking to you now, and you will not believe it, this matter has nothing to do with your interests, you don't have to think about it." ”

His bony five fingers pinched a porcelain spoon, and the action of serving soup for her was elegant and gentle, his hand could hold the military order and hold the imperial pen, but he had done this action many times in the past few days, he was the son of the Yan Kingdom who was high, and she was just an ally he could not have wanted, he was so condescending, it really shouldn't ......

There are many doubts in my heart, and I choose to compromise this time.

She took the soup he served, drank it silently, Shang Jue didn't say more, a breakfast was used up in silence, the hour was still early, she went back to the inner room silently, and she was wiping the piano when Zi Wei went in with tea.

Fu Lan changed his clothes and finally couldn't bear the loneliness, and after a while, he arrived at the main courtyard again, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Shang Jue standing under the corridor with a worried face, and a glimmer of light flashed in Fu Lan's eyes, "What's the matter?

Shang Jue came back to his senses, with a wry smile on his face, he rarely had such a smile, Fu Lan couldn't help twitching the corners of his lips, and glanced into the room, "What about the deer, what's wrong? Today's sword test conference, something will happen, but nothing has happened right now, you have this expression, so what's going on later?"

Shang Jue shook his head, his gaze slightly raised to look at the gloomy sky in the distance.

She began to doubt again, and she couldn't hide many things. ”

Fu Lan frowned, his complexion became serious, he stood side by side with Shang Jue under the porch, squinted his eyes for a moment before saying, "There is no way to do this, Xiaolu is a suspicious person, you ask for more blessings." ”

Shang Jue smiled, "Yes, ask for more blessings......

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound outside the courtyard, and after a while, Yun Zhe walked in and said, "Master, the Hou Mansion has sent someone to invite, saying that the auspicious time is coming, please go and watch the ceremony, you see ......"

Shang Jue nodded, "Let's get ready to go." ”

The voice settled, Shen'er was busy going in to pass the day, Shang Jue and Fu Lan were still standing under the corridor, Fu Lan raised his eyes to look at today's gloomy sky, and smiled softly, "This Tiangong is really not beautiful, but the sword is a bad thing, this weather is also more favorable, but it is gloomy and a little unlucky, and I don't know who helped set this sword test conference today." ”

Fu Lan said to herself, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind her, and when she turned around, she saw that Chaoxi had added a big red cloak to her body and had come out, today she was not wearing a white towel on her face, and her face was only covered by a few strands of black hair, and her unparalleled appearance was all exposed in the eyes of people, even if she met every day, Fu Lan breathed lightly for a moment when she looked at Chaoxi walking out of the dark light!

"Why don't you cover your eyes today?"

Fu Lan asked with a smile, she had walked to the door, she looked up and looked out, and could see from the wall the brand-new flag specially hung on the cornices outside, and the big "Luo" character flag was displayed, indicating that there will be a grand event today!

Chaoxi raised his chin, "I want to see it with my own eyes!"

After the words settled, Shang Jue stepped forward and took her hand one by one, "Let's go." ”

Day and night did not struggle, with Shang Jue's footsteps down the steps, Shang Jue is still wearing a wide-sleeved white robe today, the ink-colored placket is intertwined with auspicious clouds and wolf patterns, noble, and inexplicably shocking, he clenched the hand of the day and night, the two of them walked towards the direction of the sword mound under the leadership of the Huaiyin Marquis's mansion, Fulan has not gone out for many days, this time he came out to see everything is a novelty, along the way he was the only one to ask east and west, but Shang Jue and Chaoxi were silent.

They were not in a hurry, they were probably the last to go out, they didn't even meet anyone else along the way, and they went up the straight road to the sword mound when they got out of the east gate of the mansion, the closer they got to the sword mound The momentum around the body became more and more cold and hard, and even the hand held by Shang Jue silently used their strength, and when they came to the forked intersection, the face of the day and night was even more cold to the point that no one should approach!

"You said you hadn't been to the Sword Shrine. ”

Shang Jue suddenly spoke, and Chaoxi frowned and turned his head to look at him.

Shang Jue sighed, "Since you haven't been before, why are you so nervous?"

Chaoxi raised his eyebrows, then shook his head and retracted his gaze, "You're wrong." ”

Shang Jue also used his strength to hold her hand, and pulled her closer, "You know Lone's familiarity with you, so you don't have to quibble in front of Lone, why are you nervous, I don't have to ask, but later, you must not leave Lone's side."

Open the lonely side. ”

Chaoxi frowned and only said, "You don't have to worry about it. ”

While speaking, the two have embarked on the road straight to the sword mound, the flag fluttering on the side of the road, the guards of the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion stand on both sides, the more you go, the more narrow the terrain is, not long after, there are one after another towering inscriptions such as the pavilion palace wall on both sides of the road, which is full of pictures and texts, most of them record the weapons cast by the ancestors of the Luo family, each of which is the most advanced weapon in the weapon spectrum.

Walking through this straight road, as if looking at the glory of Luo's past, the more you go forward, the less the inscription, in the last fifty years, Luo's can get less and less weapons, maybe the next inscription is the Cangya that will be born today!

Shang Jue and Chaoxi didn't look at these words, but Fulan had carefully read every place, and they still read them with relish, and finally said, "I heard that these are just the tip of the iceberg on the spectrum of the divine weapon, many things of the ancestors of the Luo clan have never been passed on, as long as there is that thing, no matter how powerful the ice blade is, it can be made, and this time Cangya is probably also from the spectrum of that divine weapon." ”

Chaoxi's expression was calm when he heard this, but Shang Jue turned his head to look at Chaoxi for a moment.

What everyone asks for, but day and night promise that it will be his......

The end of the inscription straight road suddenly opened up, and it turned out to be a vast martial arts arena!

The feeling of suddenly opening up the line of sight is astonishing, but the most surprising thing is that there is a majestic palace standing at the end of the martial arts arena, glazed golden tiles, continuous cornices, and the outer wall is more complex relief, but there is no window lattice only a gate, the most eye-catching thing is the two statues of three zhang high standing at the door, the portrait is the swordsmith's costume, and it is divided into left and right, each holding a giant sword in his hand!

I don't know which two ancestors of Luo's are they?!

Chaoxi and Shang Jue's footsteps paused slightly, and when they looked away from the palace, they saw that there were countless people on the martial arts arena at the end of the straight road to the door, and the portraits on the martial arts arena were only ordinary people, but the movements and postures were different, as if there were dozens of real people practicing here, the same, each of them was holding a sword in their hands, and the road in the middle was paved with a red carpet, and the guards on both sides stood without smiling, with a solemn and intimidating expression, and the "Luo" flag with red letters on a white background stood in the middle of the road, and the scene was magnificent and intimidating!

I thought I was close to the sword mound, but Chaoxi and Shang Jue didn't see other guests here, they only saw Luo Shunhua and Luo Chengxin welcoming guests at the door of the palace, seeing them appear, Luo Shunhua and Luo Chengxin walked down the steps together and greeted them, and the father and son both greeted Shang Jue with great energy, "His Royal Highness, Gong-"

The word "Lord" did not come out, but Luo Shunhua must have seen the face of the white scarf and was stunned for a while, since the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion has always worn a white scarf, this is the first time without a white scarf, looking at Chaoxi's face, Luo Shunhua's lips moved a few times but did not speak, as if he was speechless, Luo Chengxin who came behind was also stunned, the father and son were silent at the same time, and the lively scene was suddenly silent and embarrassing.

Shang Jue frowned hesitantly, her eyes suddenly narrowed, but she was calm, her eyes were dark and clear, and she knew that her eye disease had been cured at a glance, Luo Shunhua was stunned for a moment before she reacted, forced herself to smile dryly to cover up her gaffe and invited them to enter, Fu Lan saw this scene in his eyes, with a meaningful and funny look on his face, he suddenly stepped forward and said in Shang Jue's ear, "Mo Qi Mo Qi, Luo Shunhua has a bloody disaster today!"
