In the early morning of the next day, just after midnight, Tuoba Yabu woke up, pushed open the window, and the genius shone slightly, and the entire Demon Palace was still quiet. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info stretched out, moved his body, and after a simple wash, Tuoba Yabu opened the door and went to the garden where Chan'er was.

At this time, Chan'er had just put down her paintbrush and walked to the yard to breathe the early morning air, but she smelled the fragrance of flowers wafting in the air. On a whim, Chan'er walked in the direction of the fragrance of flowers, and found that there was a flower field outside the side gate of the garden, and there were flowers blooming in this winter. Chan'er stepped forward, approached the flowers in the flower field, and took a deep breath while admiring the flowers, the fragrance of the flowers was refreshing, not only swept away her night's fatigue, but also made people feel good.

So Chan'er swirled lightly under her feet, and sang a song of flower drunkenness with random but staggered dance steps.

Flowers flutter and scatter / like golden light dazzling / even if the colorful clouds are beautiful / can't cover the infinite / the blooming of a hundred flowers is really amazing

The flowers are uncontrollable/The fragrance is strong/Drunk and the breeze is transmitted/It seems to be a dream/The flowers float and melt in the eyes

I can't remember everything in my hazy heart / I can't tell the east and the west / I pause all the thoughts in my head / I'm waiting for you to open it for me

Let's work together to plant / Let the fragrance scatter in the air / It seems that today we are crying and laughing together / Please plant carefully

At this time, there was suddenly applause not far away, Chan'er followed the direction from which the voice came from and saw Tuoba Yabu first, and then caught a glimpse of the twilight that came out of the main house of the garden.

"You woke up early. Chan'er was intoxicated by her own self-care, and she was inevitably shy for a while, and she couldn't help but say with a little dodge in her eyes.

"We've rested well enough compared to your sleepless night. The corners of Tuoba Yabu's mouth rose slightly, and after saying to Chan'er, he turned his gaze to meet Zhan Duxiao's gaze.

Zhan Duxiao greeted Tuoba Yabu, then looked at Chan'er and smiled and said:

"I promised you the Lantern Festival, I have already opened a small stove for you to cook, and I will eat it while it is hot to warm up. ”

"How many Lantern Festivals has Brother Zhan prepared?"

"Well, it's okay for two or three people. ”

"Then you can keep me an extra bowl. ”

"How?"

Chan'er smiled and didn't answer, but turned to look at the shadow on the side of the study, and raised her voice slightly:

"Yunwu, there's nothing to do here, you can go back to your room and sleep. Later, I will ask Brother Zhan to send someone to send a bowl of Lantern Festival, you will be more energetic to eat something sweet. ”

"Thank you to the county lord, my subordinates will retire first. In the shadows, the clouds and mist responded to Chan'er, and disappeared in place after speaking.

"You're not an easy guard. Tuoba Yabu's eyes showed appreciation, and he sighed, "I barely noticed his breath just now. ”

"Cloud's ability to perceive his surroundings is the best I've ever seen, and on the other hand, hiding his aura is certainly his forte. Chan'er changed her words and got back to business, "Time is tight, let's go into the house and see if my painting can be fake, right?"

"I'm curious, let's go. As he spoke, he strode to the study.

If Tuoba Yabu was still impressed by Chan'er when he saw Chan'er's skills, and his eyes lit up when he inadvertently saw Chan'er singing and dancing by herself, then when Chan'er's paintings came into Tuoba Yabu's eyes at this moment, his feelings for Chan'er were faintly beyond the scope of spectator appreciation.

After some scrutiny, Tuoba Yabu's gaze fell back on Chan'er, his eyes were as calm as an ancient well, but an indescribable vibration surged in his heart.

Similar to Tuoba Yabu, Chan'er also has a different kind of fluctuation in her heart at this moment, but what makes her happy is Zhan Duxiao's talent, courage and bearing, which she has already felt a lot in the process of copying Zhan Duixiao's calligraphy and painting all night.

In front of Zhan Duxiao, Chan'er suddenly didn't have such firm confidence, seeing Zhan Duxiao looking at the painting without saying a word, Chan'er couldn't help but speak:

"Can you handle it?"

When Zhan Duxiao heard this, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Chan'er, and for a moment he only felt as if he had seen Chan'er.

Zhan Duxiao didn't have time to see Du Chan's painting back then, of course, it wasn't because of the skill of the painting, but what was conveyed in the painting was Chan'er's understanding and feedback of the feelings and thoughts contained in Zhan Duxiao's painting, which made Zhan Duxiao find the only feeling of spiritual resonance that Du Chan had ever had.

It's a fleeting feeling, but it's so real. But after all, it was a momentary feeling, and Zhan Duxiao's trance only happened for a moment, and then he commented on Chan'er's painting from an objective point of view:

"Whether it's the layout or the brushstrokes, you have the right grasp of proportion, and your skills in color use are even better than mine. Yue'er, to be honest, I almost thought this was the picture I painted. ”

"Really?" Hearing Zhan Duxiao say this, Chan'er couldn't help but regain her confidence and said, "This is half done." ”

"Half?" said Tuoba Yabu.

"Yes, because I haven't been able to write the inscription for a long time. Chan'er said as she picked up two pieces of rice paper full of words from the table, "I have practiced on the paper a few times, but I am not too satisfied, and I always lose a little bit of the courage that a man should have." I'm afraid of adding to the problem, so I'll put it aside for the time being, and I'll wait for you to discuss. ”

"I'm hurt...... Still can't use force. Zhan Duxiao looked at her wrist and frowned slightly in annoyance.

"Can Senior Brother Zhan trust me?" Tuoba Yabu said suddenly.

"What?"

"Don't look at me as a martial arts practitioner, I still have some research on calligraphy. In the past two days, seeing you and Yue'er full of talent and swaying pen and ink, I can't help but itch. ”

"Brother Tuoba is low-key, if it weren't for the fact that we are helpless right now, you still refuse to leave Mobao to me?" Zhan Duxiao first joked, and then said with a straight face, "Since you opened your mouth, of course I believe you." ”

"What did Yue'er say?"

"I helped Brother Tuoba study ink. ”

Feeling the trust of Zhan Duxiao and Chan'er, Tuoba Yabu smiled more and more chicly, picked up the brush and dipped it in the ink inkstone that Chan'er had researched, and then without practice, he directly put pen to paper and completed the inscription.

As soon as Tuoba Yabu put down the pen here, Yuan Han and Blocked Ruts came over, and several people were pleasantly surprised by Tuoba Yabu's words, and this word and Chan'er's paintings were matched together, not only without abruptness, but also complemented each other, revealing a kind of uninhibited and arrogant emotion.

After a brief breakfast, Zhan Duxiao set off again with the picture scroll. This time, out of prudence, in addition to He Zheng, Lin Ling and eight of the "Sixteen Demons" were also among them. As for Jiao Ying and Yu Jie, they led the rest of the people and Tuoba Yabu, Block Rut, and Yuan Han to stay in the Demon Palace to prevent Taiwumen from cunning and sneak attacks.

~~~

In the Demon Palace, Tuoba Yabu, Plug Rut, and Yuan Han either called Shangjing Hu and others to learn martial arts every day, or drank and talked happily, and lived happily. In the first few days, Chan'er was still happy, but she stayed at home for four days in a row, and she was used to being free when she was in Moge, and she slowly became a little stunned.

On the fifth day, this day was also the day when Zhan Duxiao and the others expected to come back, early in the morning, Chan'er persuaded Yuan Han and Du Zhe to agree to let her go out of the Demon Palace to go around the city. At this time, Yu Jie happened to come to convey the message that Zhan Duxiao came back and could arrive in Beicheng at noon, and when he heard the conversation of several people, he took the opportunity to say:

"The last time King Fu listened to a commentary at the Junwang Inn, how did he feel?"

"The war was full of ups and downs, and the commentators spoke vividly and very intriguingly. Yuan Han nodded and praised.

"It just so happens that there is another one today, which is different from the last one, this one is about the love story of King Wenjun. Yu Jie said, his gaze turned to Chan'er, "There is a wing room in the inn that our Demon Palace has set for many years, King Fu has already experienced it last time, and the perspective is very good, and there will be no outsiders to disturb it." If the county lord is interested, he may wish to listen to it. Udai can lead the way for the county lord. ”

"County Lord, it sounds very interesting, can the slave maid and Xiaorao and Peiqi go to listen together?"

Chan'er looked at the same light in the eyes of Xi Tao, Xiao Rao and Pei Qi, and couldn't help laughing:

"I know you like it, just follow me. ”

"Okay, thank you, Lord County!"

"Brother Zhe, what about you?"

"Let's forget it, you have fun on your own, and watch out for bad guys like Taiwumen. Taking advantage of Chan'er's absence, he was planning to exchange opinions and countermeasures with Tuoba Yabu and Yuan Han about the next developments of Weiguo and Yiguo.

Tuoba Yabu and Tsuru glanced at each other and nodded knowingly.

"Bring a few people and stay safe. Yuan Han then instructed.

"I know. Chan'er smiled, waved her hand to a few people, and said, "You should also pay attention to drinking and hurting your body, don't wait for Brother Zhan to come back and find that you have drunk all his wine." ”

"Good. Yuan Han smiled helplessly.

Later, when Chan'er went out, she happened to see Yan Wu, Tie Yin, and Qi Hong guarding the door, so she beckoned the three of them to accompany her. Qihong and Peiqi's "silent love" was almost an open secret before, so Chan'er also took a special look at Peiqi and gave her an encouraging smile. Seeing this, Pei Qi lowered her head shyly, and only later secretly made eye contact with Qi Hong. However, in the eyes of the two people looking at each other, there is really a taste of wanting to talk, and some feelings are quietly fermented in the dullness of getting along day and night.

~~~

At that time, in the Junwang Inn, Yu Jie's party led Chan'er and his party to sit in the wing. Then, on the wooden stage in the center of the inn, the love story of King Wenjun was told, and the widely circulated version of the folk was told through the voice of the storyteller.

"At the age of sixteen, King Wen was already in the position of Beicheng County, and he was both civil and military, and he was the youngest and most promising person in Hengguo at that time. That year, just in time for Emperor Heng to go on patrol, Beicheng, a battleground for soldiers, was naturally on the road map of the emperor's travel. Emperor Heng's two unmarried daughters, the ninth princess and the eleventh princess, were among the entourage, which laid the groundwork for the love between King Wenjun and the ninth princess......"

At the same time, Zhan Duxiao, the palace master of the Demon Palace, and several people were riding horses on the post road leading to Beicheng.

"Childe, someone is coming. He Zheng pointed to the oncoming horseman, and reminded Zhan Duxiao to say.

"It's the people in the palace. Zhan Duxiao nodded when she heard this.

I saw that the person who came was a few feet away from Zhan Duxiao and the others and grabbed the reins, turned over and jumped off the horse, bowed and saluted:

"Subordinates, see the palace master. ”

"Is everything normal in the city these days?" Zhan Duxiao and the others immediately reined in their horses and stopped in place.

"It's business as usual. The prince specially instructed his subordinates to report a message to the palace master, so as not to worry the palace master. ”

"The fourth brother has been thinking a lot more recently. Lonely Ling smiled with a proud expression, "After all these years of training, the impulsive child in the past has finally grown up. ”

"What about others, who don't come to meet us personally. Zhan Duxiao and Lonely Ling glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.

"Back to the palace master, the prince of the order accompanied the county lord Chanyuan to the county lord to listen to the story. ”

"Yue'er?" Zhan Duxiao muttered to herself, Chan'er's smile instantly appeared in her mind. At this moment, in Zhan Duxiao's heart, the impression of "Plug Chan" has been blurred, but the image of "Yue'er" has become clear, but he himself has not yet felt this change.

"This time, I can enter and exit Taiwumen without danger, or it is the blessing of the county lord. Counting it up, the Demon Palace has already owed the county lord two favors. He Zheng's voice sounded beside Zhan Duxiao.

"That's right. Zhan Duxiao retracted her thoughts and looked at He Zheng, "Later into the city, you come with me to the Junwang Inn, I just want to thank the county lord." ”

"Then I'll take the others back to the palace. Silent Ling continued.

"Hmm. Zhan Duxiao responded with his mouth, and the man had already ridden forward, "Let's go first." ”

Before the words fell, a man and a horse had rushed out of a short distance, and He Zheng immediately rode his horse to follow, and the figures of the two quickly disappeared on the post road.

At two o'clock, Zhan Duxiao and He Zheng jumped off their horses in front of the Junwang Inn, handed over the horses to the inn's maids, and went straight to the exclusive wing of the Demon Palace.

In the inn, the storyteller's story is telling wonderfully, and when Zhan Dusk walked into the wing, Chan'er didn't find it.

“…… After four days and four nights of confrontation, Prince Su knew that he was not Wen Juncheng's opponent, so he led the crowd to retreat to the border of Yi State, and sneaked into Yi Country to rest and recuperate, waiting for him to make a comeback. At this point, the war came to an end temporarily, and Wen Juncheng returned to Beicheng to reunite with the ninth princess, and saw the child that the princess gave birth to him for the first time. It is also because of this outstanding achievement that Emperor Mo specially issued a decree to give himself the title of 'county king' to his brother-in-law, and enjoy a decreasing hereditary lineage, and he can also retain the title of a county prince after a certain generation. Okay, the main thing I am talking about today is the love process between King Wenjun and the Ninth Princess, so about where their children and grandchildren are now and how their lives are, let's listen to the next breakdown. ”

After the story ended, Chan'er inadvertently turned her gaze and saw Zhan Duxiao sitting across the table looking at herself.

"Brother Zhan, why are you here?

"It's no big deal. I just came back and heard you were here, so I came right here. Seeing that you were listening attentively, I didn't interrupt you. Zhan Duxiao said.

When Chan'er heard this, the storyteller's previous statement echoed in her mind, "Every time Wen Juncheng and the Ninth Princess reunite after separation, they ask someone in advance about the location of the Ninth Princess, and then appear in front of her for the first time." The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, although Zhan Duxiao subjectively does not have too many special thoughts, Chan'er still can't help but sit down, and a small expectation rises in her heart.

"This time, thanks to your wonderful help, I thank the little sister in advance for my brother. Zhan Duxiao saluted Chan'er and said in a sincere tone.

"Do you really thank me?" Chan'er asked as she looked at Zhan Duxiao.

"Sincerely, of course. ”

"Then you can accompany me to the river, okay?"

"What's wrong with this. Lunch was also wrapped around me. Zhan Duxiao smiled and said.

"Xitao, Peiqi, Tieyin, with the Zhan Palace Master here, it will be fine, you don't have to follow. Chan'er's gaze swept over Xi Tao and the other six people, and said.

"Yes, Lord Shire. Several people responded.

"He Zheng, Yu Jie, you are waiting for me and the county lord in the Zuihuang Tower. Zhan Duxiao also commanded.

"Childe rest assured. The two of them nodded in response.

"Yue'er, let's go. Zhan Duxiao then stood up, walked out of the Junwang Inn with Yue'er, and walked slowly in the direction of the Yudai River.
