The summer of Lin'an City is full of a cheerful atmosphere, when the Huailiang River is shrouded in fog in the morning, there is an old banyan tree that shades the sky under the eaves of the dougong, the children and the old people like to play under the banyan tree, these are very beautiful pictures, and when it comes to the evening, the young men in the city will go to the Huailiang River with a white stripe, like a white carp swimming in the river, the boat girl holds the boat and sings, and the ethereal song travels through the sparkling lake.

The song came to the ears of the boys and girls on the street with a breeze, and the fried chestnuts with sugar in their hands were blown by the steaming heat of the lake breeze, and everyone was happy to do what they liked, but recently there has been a greater joy known to all sexes.

Originally, the marriage between the eldest princess and General Meng Yu was before Chu Xianzhao and Ye Weiwei, but Emperor Yin changed his attention not long ago and put Chu Xianzhao's marriage on the agenda, and now even the auspicious day of the zodiac has been selected for the two of them.

The big wedding is imminent, maybe this marriage will be unprecedentedly grand, and the liveliness can even be comparable to the New Year's Festival, His Royal Highness's marriage must be lively, even the officials of the court are thinking about what to send to His Royal Highness, and the things sent out must be worthy of His Royal Highness, and it must not make people feel very shabby and boring at a glance, and they don't even have the mind to look at it, so it will be a loss.

When Tang Wangye married before, the dowry sent by his wife's family blocked the entire official road, and there were countless precious jewelry, incense cars, and BMWs. Moreover, there are officials and wealthy businessmen marrying in Lin'an City almost every half a month, and the lively atmosphere has always existed in this big Yin capital.

But the strange thing is that on the auspicious day agreed between the two countries, the bottle country did not send someone to give the dowry and attend the marriage, and some people began to spread the news of the violent death of Liu Kang, the emperor of the bottle, in the city, and then these rumors disappeared like a flash in the pan.

For some reason, His Majesty the Emperor did not show any attitude towards the fact that the Taru Country did not send a dowry or send someone to attend the marriage, but continued to let the people in the palace prepare for the etiquette and trivial matters of the marriage.

This marriage is a major symbol of the marriage between the two countries, and the groom Chu Zhaozhao is the conqueror of Yan Mang and the hero of the battle of Concubine Pass, not to mention those heroic acts of slaying the dragon with a sword, just say that he recently went to the west to fight with the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, for some reason it was also known to the people of Lin'an City, so that he was pushed to the peak of human words, although the bride did not have as many well-known heroic feats as the groom, but it was also a good match, but obviously the bottle country did not send someone to participate in the marriage for some reason, but it did not affect the warm expectations of the people in the city for this marriage。

The red silk flowers are hung on the red door of the entire Dayin Palace, and even the pear wood railing by the lake is framed with red paper, and the palace is full of festive colors.

It is the height of summer now, and the festive colors also make people feel stuffy in their hearts, he feels sweaty when he looks at the grand scene in the palace, marrying should be an exciting thing, but Chu Xianzhao has been reading his favorite books for the past two days, or he is drinking in a daze, and his mood has not been quiet.

In the future, he will not live in Weeping Eagle Wan but move to Dawn Palace with Ye Weiwei, this palace for the prince and the princess to live in is built and filled with a smell of new wood and new paint, which is much bigger than Weeping Yingwan, Ye Weiwei has already moved in, but Chu Xianzhao still likes to live in Weeping Yingwan, and feels that sleeping in too big a place will make him insecure.

Besides, this place also has to live in a woman who is not strange to him, but he doesn't feel very familiar, he has a long road to eat and sleep with this woman at night, have children, support each other for the rest of his life, watch each other's faces slowly become more wrinkles, white hair dyed sideburns, watching each other also be watched by the other party to leave this world, crying for each other.

Chu Xianzhao thought about the next life of the two of them so casually, and slowly felt pity for this woman who married in a foreign country.

But it would be nice if the person he married now was Su Nianyu, she was still pregnant with her own child and lived in an inconspicuous but sunny little house outside the palace, let him not worry about himself, and take her back to the palace after the marriage is over.

Chu Xianzhao remembered the sweet words that had been said between the two, and felt a pain in his heart, if he had to live with someone and sleep with him, of course, he would choose those who could make him feel emotional and forget himself and be gentle and considerate to himself, and Chu Xianzhao had unspeakable helplessness about this marriage, especially he didn't want someone like Liu Kang to be his father-in-law at all, if he had to call him father when he saw him later, not to mention how wronged he was.

Although Chu Xianzhao verbally said that he would definitely fulfill his responsibilities as a member of the royal family, it didn't mean that he wanted to take this responsibility very much, he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the happy red silk on his head.

At this moment, Zhuzi walked up to Chu Xianzhao with a cup of fragrant tea, handed it over and said with a smile: "Your Highness is going to marry Princess Weiwei tomorrow, why don't you look happy at all?"

Chu Xianzhao gently took a sip of the warm tea soup, felt that his bored mind slowly lowered his stomach with the tea soup, and asked, "Why did you go back to the palace?" ”

Zhuzi deliberately lowered his voice, and said with a smile: "It was Su Nianyu who asked me to come back to accompany His Royal Highness and the princess to say that women are a little scared when they marry for the first time, and they have to let a few people go to accompany them, and a few mothers-in-law are also accompanying them, Your Highness don't worry, just be your groom official tomorrow." Having said that, Your Highness can't hide this matter for long, and you still have to confess to everyone after the marriage is over, for fear that Her Royal Highness the princess will chase after Her Highness with a whip and beat her. ”

"It's been all these years of hard work for both of you. As soon as Chu Xianzhao thought that after the marriage was over, he would have to confess to his father and Chu Xun about the child in Su Nianyu's belly, and his head was numb.

Bamboo smiled and said: "I still remember the first time I saw His Highness, His Highness saw the bamboo toy I brought to His Highness, so he helped me get it."

A name called bamboo, I didn't expect to be shouted by His Highness for so many years. When I first started serving His Highness, I always refused to get up, and I didn't want to help His Highness wash and cook, so I didn't want to go home, but His Highness didn't bully me and Pomegranate, nor did I go to my father-in-law to complain, no matter what we did wrong, His Highness always protected us, if I hadn't met Your Highness, I'm afraid many interesting things wouldn't have happened. ”

Chu Xianzhao said softly: "Bamboo, you are too much, I just want you to play with me, the things I help you do are all small things, in my opinion, Zhuzi, you and Pomegranate are very powerful people." ”

"How can I see that Your Highness is a person who has been on the battlefield and slain dragons, if it were me and Pomegranate, I would have fainted with fright. ”

"It is impossible to slaughter a dragon for a lifetime, but laundry and cooking, which seem to be simpler than dragon slaying, you and Pomegranate have been doing it, day after day, year after year, this is the most difficult thing, if I can't do it for even a month. ”

Bamboo blinked with moving eyes, like a little vixen coming out of the deep mountains, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, let me tell you something, don't be jealous, okay?"

"What kind of jealousy?"

With a shy face, she took out a letter from her arms and handed it over, Chu Xianzhao took the letter with her body temperature, opened the letter inside and looked at it, and said with surprise in her eyes: "Bamboo...... Someone in the palace sent you a love letter?"

Zhuzi proudly raised his delicate nose and said: "Yes, when I went up to accompany His Highness to the Hanlin Academy, a Confucian accidentally bumped me on the shoulder, I looked at him at the time and didn't care, and then when I returned to Yingwan, I found this letter, he wanted to wait for the eighth day of the sixth month to ask me to go to the redwood forest, Your Highness, do you say I should go? If His Highness says that he doesn't want me to go, then I will tear up this letter." ”

Chu Xianzhao couldn't help laughing and said: "What to tear, of course you have to go, that's how the story of the talented and beautiful woman came, bamboo, I'll help you make a move, let you try to see if that student of the Hanlin Academy really likes you." ”

"Then what does Your Highness say you should do?"

Chu Xianzhao smiled like a fox and said: "Bamboo, you do this, your handwriting has always been better than mine, then you will give him the handwriting you write as a gift, and you will go to my study to get the book "Worship Spring" Poetry collection, select a few poems copied down, send to this Hanlin Academy student before deliberately modifying a few words, copy a few wrong poems to him, and then write to him to ask him if the poems in it are good, if he really read your book carefully, with his knowledge it is not difficult to see the typos in it, if he trusts each other to tell you that there are mistakes in it, then he really cares about the book you give him, if he blindly praises your calligraphy is good, then it proves that he does not care much about you. ”

Bamboo clapped his hands and smiled slightly: "No wonder Su Nianyu is desperate for His Royal Highness, it turns out that His Royal Highness has so much thought between these men and women, no wonder the progress with Su Nianyu is so fast, and now he even has a child......"

Chu Xianzhao chuckled for a moment, and said weakly: "Be quiet, if people hear it now, Your Highness, I will be finished, and this marriage may also be in vain." ”

She lowered her voice and muttered: "I really envy her, I and Pomegranate have been with His Highness for so many years, but I actually watched her become His Highness's side concubine, and in the future, Pomegranate and I will help His Highness take care of the children." ”

Chu Xianzhao said in a stiff tone: "This ...... Nature is good, I can trust you and Pomegranate. ”

"Your Highness, you have been sweating a lot, I will help Your Highness wipe it. ”

Zhuzi looked at Chu Xianzhao's nervous appearance and blinked his eyes, Chu Xianzhao wiped the sweat from his head, waved his hand and said, "The weather has been a little hot recently, Zhuzi, you go and get busy, I want to be alone and quiet." ”

Bamboo retreated with the cup of residual tea, Chu Xianzhao stayed in the pavilion for a long time, for some reason Su Changyan's appearance jumped out of his mind, he looked in the direction of Yingwan, remembering the past of the two, she sat on the edge of her bed and coaxed herself to sleep, stroked his forehead before he fell asleep, her hands were so warm and soft, under his stubbornness, she shyly got into the bed, the two children hugged each other and slept peacefully, and spent a simple and beautiful night with peace of mind, everyone was afraid.

His childhood was so simple, Chu Xianzhao thought to himself, the people around him were tall and upright good people, and his only enemy was the grandfather Rong who bullied Su Younu with a black face all day long, and now that Gonggong Rong has entered the grave, his enemies have slowly become strange and distant, and even that dream-like childhood has become distant. His first swordsmanship teacher, Li Changyuan, the Zhou brothers who guarded outside the Jinluan Hall like a wooden man, the old general Hu who liked to sit on the big sword to tell him and his sister stories, and the old man Huang who died under the rain of arrows in Yan Mang to protect Hua Youyue...... They all entered the grave, when did the child who used to like to swim in the carp pond bare-bottomed follow them into the grave? When he stabbed the dagger into the heart of Empress Yan Mang? When he cried in the snow holding Zhu Ziwei's corpse? Or when he watched Tantai Ningsu fall to his death?

Chu Xianzhao only woke up slowly when it was dark, and listened to a long song coming from the direction of the weeping eagle, it was Princess Daqin singing the ancient Qin Song, slowly turning in his ears.

Chu instantly called her, and Ying Liyang fell from the roof like a red carp, and her mouth was not shocking.

"I thought about it for a while, I think I can't stay with you for too long, your father has already discovered my existence, if I stay any longer, it will cause you a lot of trouble, now I have something new to do, I want to go to Nanlu to find someone, a person who can help us next, and when you go to Qingguo, you and I will have a chance to meet, and you must not die in the hands of nobodies. ”

Chu Xianzhao smiled in shock: "You're not joking with me, are you? You have been sleeping in the imperial tomb for nearly a thousand years, are you sure that there are still people in this world who will know you?"

Daqin Princess Tan

Ran said: "You can rest assured that my father has already arranged the fate for what we are going to do next, and I have been using the "vision" of the future for the past two days , A new war will start soon, from those broken visions I have to tell you that there will be new moves on the side of Qingguo, and the action will be faster than your side of Yinguo, this time you no longer have the advantage of blitzkrieg, but you are going to be forced to go to war with them, I need to gather the forces that can be used on the Nanlu side, and I will need your help when the time comes. ”

"You should find my father, he is the holder of the Great Yin Iron Horse, and I am just the sword in his hand. ”

Princess Daqin shook her head and said, "Your father is an untrustworthy person, if I tell him all this, maybe he will only snatch the power in my hands for his own use, I can't trust him." But you are different, Chu Xuanzhao, I can see what you do in the Tai'a Sword, when I see your comrades who died in battle crying silently at night, when I see you kneeling in front of their corpses, when I see you drawing your sword to save a little girl from the enemy, I know that you are the right person, so I choose you. ”

Chu Xianzhao was silent for a while, and said: "A lot of people will die after that, in fact, war is the last thing I want to see, and many people have died in the past two years...... Millions. ”

Princess Daqin smiled coldly: "If you don't become the king of the world and twist the force of the world into an iron rope, when the ancient gods come from the north, the whole world will die, and you will be the one who wants to be the emperor of the world, the lives of millions of people...... What's it?" She took a deep breath and said: "And soon there will be millions of people who will die, the Qingguo side is already preparing for war, just like the Qingguo woman who came to kill you that day, she has the power of the Eastern Emperor Bell in her body, there is no doubt that this power was brought to her by someone, and then let her kill you, it is the person behind her who is going to kill you, all of this is the "revelation" of the ancient gods You are behind the scenes, and now that you have become a crowd of people, when I am not by your side, you have to be careful, very careful of the people around you. ”

"Based on what you know about the ancient gods, what do you think is the purpose for which they chose to incite these people?"

Princess Daqin pondered for a moment and said: "I guess the real purpose is to turn the world into a divided battlefield, and completely weaken the combat power of the human world before they return to the human world, the most important reason why they lost that war many years ago is that you human beings are united, so that they can feel the horror of "unity", in this case, before they return, they will do their best to bring these "revelations" Let you be suspicious and betrayal, and let you die as many people as possible, so that this war will be easy to fight. If this war is won by them, it is not surprising that they will bring an army to invade the lands of your north, and once they take this land, the ancient gods will return from the far north with their power, and these kings who have been "inspired" by them will kneel at their feet, destroy these kings and take over the world. ”

"This is a melee between the heavens and the world, between people, gods and demons, and then how majestic and powerful the power invested in this battlefield is, and with the convergence of the cloud qi into the world, the gods on the clouds will also join this war, and the whole world will become unstable at that time......"

Her words made Chu Xianzhao shiver fiercely, and when she said this, Ying Liyang didn't say anything, stretched out her hand and stroked Chu Zhaozhao's forehead with a smile and said: "You are in the Northern Regions, I am in the Southern Continent, you and I echo each other, even if we are thousands of miles apart, you and I are still allies, do not abandon or give up, until this war comes, I will stand on your right hand and face our enemy." ”

Chu Xianzhao scratched his head and said, "When are you going to leave...... It's my wedding in a few days, and if I'm not in a hurry, I want you to stay here and wait until it's over. ”

Princess Daqin glanced at him deeply, smiled and said: "Whatever, anyway, Heavenly Punishment won't come to me so soon, after drinking tea, I suddenly want to drink, do you have any good wine for me to drink." ”

Chu Xianzhao immediately asked Zhuzi to go to the imperial wine cellar to fill two pots of good wine and came back, and the two sat in the courtyard and continued to clink glasses and drink, Princess Daqin poured a sip of wine, looked at the outline of the Jinluan Palace in the distance, and said: " When I chose to let Su Shuntian help me forge the Falling God Steel Sword, I never imagined that I would let your Yin Kingdom use this incident as an excuse to give the Xilin Dynasty a pot, and also occupy the Fallen God Steel Sword that Su Shuntian worked so hard to build for the upcoming war, in addition to asking you to build the Great Wall in the future, you also need to do what he has done again, will I make you feel very tired when I say this. ”

Chu Xianzhao looked at the pool and said softly: "It's definitely not as tired as you, maybe you haven't thought about resting at all." ”

Ying Liyang said: "Chu Xiaohua's scheming methods are the best in the world, didn't you quarrel with him because of my affairs? ”

Chu Xianzhao was noncommittal, and said softly: "If you want to leave, let me know, and I will let you leave the Yin Kingdom." ”

Princess Daqin said: "I have Fusu, what do you want a carriage for?"

Chu Xianzhao looked at the silver-white fish in the pool, and couldn't help laughing at himself: "I don't have many friends in the first place, but last year there was one less, I hope you can become my friend more than you and my allies." ”

Princess Daqin said something that made Chu Xianzhao want to vomit blood a little: "The reason why you don't have many friends is because you have turned all your friends into your own women, and it is safer to be your ally." ”

Thinking of the past, Chu Xianzhao couldn't help but laugh, it was really full of mixed feelings.

The two drank wine and never spoke again, watching Fusu in the carp pond swim lightly among the various carps, suddenly rushing straight to the water, spinning and floating, splashing a crystal light on the edge of the pool.
