Chapter Twenty-Five: Prosperity Falls Together
In the first month of the first month of the year of Jiachen, Zhan Duxiao, Chan'er, Xue Feng, and the three people who insisted on following Gonghu, Tang Yin, and Jing Hu, set out from Moge together, took the secret path that originally connected Yi Guo, and rushed to Yinchen Xuan. After receiving the news, Tie Yin, Xiao Rao, Yu Guanguan and others were already waiting outside the Hidden Fog Forest in advance.
Seeing the figures of Zhan Duxiao and Chan'er, he stepped forward first and hugged the two warmly. Tie Yin and Xiao Rao hurriedly saluted Chan'er, and Xue Feng saluted the blockage.
"Brother Xue lives up to your trust, and has always guarded my safe return, I will treat him as a righteous brother and return him to Yinchen Xuan." Chan'er said.
"I have a lot of credit for this, and thank you from the bottom of my heart." Blocked rut looked at Xue Feng and said.
"The son's words are serious, and his subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored." Xue Feng said, and then stepped aside to catch up with Yu Guanguan.
"For more than a year, although I am not by your side, every time I hear your news, it is a shocking event, and I finally see you today, so that my heart can be settled." In Plug's view, Chan'er will always be a little sister who needs to be taken care of by herself.
"I'll come to see you and my uncle first, so I can take care of the emperor's affairs." For Chan'er, Yinchen Xuan is also her second home besides Prince Gong's Mansion.
"Is it really the way I've heard?" Listening to Chan'er's change in the name of Emperor Xuan, he couldn't help but worry.
"Hmm." Chan'er nodded slightly.
"Although the treasure map is gone, the treasure is still open. What happened? ”
"We're in danger." Zhan Duxiao took over and said, "But after returning to Moge, I heard that at the entrance of the cave, Xiu Yao wanted to take advantage of the chaos to block Xiu Yuan in the alley, but because of this, Liao Chen, Chang Yan and others died, and at the moment of life and death, he abandoned Shu Shao and fled alone, and most of the treasures were lost, and only ten pieces remained. Xiuyuan rescued Shu Shao, summoned Shu You and Shu He, so that the Shu family father and son could get together, and Shu You summoned the old department for Xiuyuan to send. Xiuyao did many injustices, and finally died at the hands of Xiuyuan and Fu Huan. ”
"In this way, the treasure will naturally fall into Xiuyuan's hands."
Originally, Xiuyuan should have wanted to use the treasure to gather everyone to rejuvenate the country, but now ten treasures can't even capture a city, maybe he woke up from a dream, or he still yearns for the countryside, he only used five treasures to sell gold and silver as a severance pay for the subordinates, and handed over the remaining five as the maintenance expenses of the ten princes and the twelve princesses to Shu You and Shu He. I heard that Shu He found the long-missing ninth princess Xiumeng, on the one hand, the tenth prince is the younger brother of the ninth princess, on the other hand, the twelfth princess and Xiuyao are the same mother, Xiuyuan can't face this sister after all, so the two children are entrusted to the Shu family and Xiumeng to take care of. ”
"What about your twenty-five?"
"Brother Shui asked me to decide, I was distressed, and Twilight volunteered to help me solve this problem." Chan'er said, looking at Zhan Duxiao.
"It just so happened that Shui Ci was going to attend Qu Yuehuai's enthronement ceremony, so I asked him to bring five treasures as a congratulatory gift from Chan'er to the new emperor of the Night Kingdom." Zhan Duxiao said.
"Well, that's good." Rutting nodded and said.
"Chinese New Year's Eve coincided with Emperor Rui's birthday, so I asked Qi Fan to take five more pieces and present them to the emperor to congratulate him on his birthday. In fact, all the treasures are still from Hengguo. ”
"In this way, I guess you also gave five pieces to the Tuoba family along the way, congratulating Tuoba Yue and Feng Yuyang on the birth of their daughter." Said with a smile.
"Exactly." Zhan Duxiao nodded in response.
"So the next five treasures, you should know, are used to celebrate Wei'er's first birthday." Chan'er said with a smile.
"The gifts from Aunt Chan'er and Uncle Twilight, I accepted them for Wei'er." Plugging the rut smiled and bowed.
This time, Chan'er and Zhan Duxiao just looked at each other and smiled, silent.
"What do you mean, you're not going to get married, are you?" This time, I was very surprised.
"Yes." Zhan Duxiao smiled and said, "We met with Shui Ci in Yicheng, worshiped Shui Shibo, and after we separated, we thought that it was the month of Layue, and we could bring the remaining treasures to visit the villages in the canyons and mountain streams of the Zhongnan Ancient Road." When I returned to my hometown, I felt it for a while, so I asked the people in the village to witness that Chan'er and I worshipped heaven and earth. ”
"It's worthy of being my sister, quite a brother's style. This happy wine has to be replenished, and it will be put on the table tonight! Hearing this, he was overjoyed, and caught a glimpse of Jing Hu and Tie Yin while speaking, and couldn't help but say again, "Those ten people, many of them have been subdued for Chan'er, what about the rest?" ”
Zhan Duxiao looked at the blocked gaze and said knowingly:
"When we came out of the cave, the alley collapsed in many places, and later learned that Yang Xin and Peiqi could not escape, Qihong and Qirui returned to their hometown sadly, only Luo Dong and Yunwu returned to meet Emperor Xuan. Yunwu was suspicious of the cold emperor, and asked himself to take care of Prince Gong's mansion for the rest of his life, ignoring other dispatches, and Emperor Xuan was angry. ”
Seeing that Chan'er heard the words "Prince Gong's Mansion", she was deeply sad, so she diverted the topic and said:
"Jialu's happy event is also near, and the princess of the Nanguo Kingdom marries into the Night Kingdom, which is a big event."
"In the future, Chan'er and I will travel all over the world, happy rivers and lakes, and have relatives wherever we go."
"You don't have to be polite to Queen Helian, just eat and drink." The two of them couldn't help but laugh as they spoke.

The next day, at the full moon banquet of the little daughter of the Tuoba family, Qu Yuehuai, who was already the emperor of the Night Kingdom, personally accompanied Helian Jialu to celebrate. The visiting guests also included Qiangnan Wang Shan Yugong, Princess Xi Tao, Huang Feng, Wuhuan Qianluo County Lord, Shen Xiao, Long Youzhuan, Mu Bing, the housekeeper of the Le Qi Hou Mansion, Guo Ye, Liao Wu, Liao Wan, Zhennan General He Qimad, Gongye Huan Huan and other relatives and friends.
After dinner, when everyone was drinking and talking in the main hall, Liao Wu walked out of the courtyard alone in order to relieve his alcohol. At this time, there were snowflakes falling in the night sky, and I only heard a girl's voice surprise:
"It's snowing, the first snow of the year."
"I was in the house as a guest, and it turned out that the girl also came to enjoy the snow." Immediately, a young man said, this voice Liao Wu is all too familiar.
"The house is very restrained, how can you feel comfortable here. Who are you? ”
"In Xia Liaowan, my third brother is a friend of Princess Jialu, and he also has a relationship with the Tuoba family, and I came with the third brother. What about the girl? ”
"You are the younger brother of Brother Liao Wu, I have heard your name. I'm a member of the Tuoba family. ”
"It turned out to be Miss Cher of the Tuoba family. I was disrespectful under it. ”
"I'm not as beautiful as my sister, and I can be recognized at a glance."
"No, no, Miss Xue'er is just young, and in less than two years, she will definitely become a flower blooming on the grassland."
"It's the first time I've heard that happen, but I'm very happy to hear it. I know that you are also like the snow lotus born in adversity. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"After many ups and downs, the Orange Flame Villa will inevitably decline compared to before, but Brother Liao Wu has taken good care of the villa, Fifth Young Master, you have become famous at a young age, you brothers work together, and the villa will definitely regain its glory one day."
"I sometimes hate myself for being born late and not helping my father and third brother too much, but the girl's words made me feel that I was born at the right time. Two years, I wish to spend two years to bring the Orange Flame Villa back to life. ”
"How about we become the people we aspire to together for two years?"
"It's a deal. Two years later, I look forward to enjoying the snow side by side with Miss Xue'er. ”
Liao Wan and Tuoba Xue immediately looked up at the snow in the air, although the two did not say more, there was a beautiful feeling between each other.
Liao Wu looked at the figures of the two from a distance, these two people are now at the same age as Liao Wu and Helian Jialu when they first met, through these two honest young people, Liao Wu seems to see Helian Jialu and himself when he was young.
Not long after, the sound of Qu Yuehuai and Helian Jialu saying goodbye and leaving sounded at the door of the main hall. Liao Wu suddenly came back to his senses, stared at the beautiful woman in front of him, and the bright and shining smile, the picture in front of him seemed to overlap with memory, and suddenly felt that time was easy to grow old and young was far away, and then muttered to himself:
"Yi Qianying, all the money, stupid eyes drunk nine points. The silver millet falls, the shadow of the lamp is deep, where is the Yiren, and where is the heart buried. ”
~~~
On the fifteenth day of the first month, in front of the gate of King Gong's mansion, a group of six people rode horses. Looking at the Shangyuan Festival lanterns hanging on both sides of the mansion gate, Chan'er's heart warmed, and she suddenly said:
"It seems that Uncle Sanhuang has arrived. This is the style he would prepare every year when he was a child, but now he hasn't seen it for many years, and it's hard for him to find it. ”
"Since Brother Yuan Han arrived first, the palace will know soon." Rutting said.
"Before anyone comes, there is still some time to say goodbye to the palace." Zhan Duxiao looked at Chan'er and said.
Chan'er nodded. Then, Jing Hu stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker, and immediately the palace guards greeted him.
"Subordinates, see the princess." Yunwu stepped forward first and knelt down on one knee to Chan'er.
"Today's Shangyuan, so that the people in the house don't have to be busy, we just go home to see, and we won't stay for long." Chan'er said.
"Yes." Yunwu then leaned over and pleaded for sin, "My subordinates have failed to protect the lord in their duties, and I ask the princess to forgive me." ”
"I am very grateful that you can withstand the pressure to protect Prince Gong's Mansion. Get up. Chan'er said.
"Thank you, princess." Yunwu got up and stepped aside and said, "King Fu is already waiting for the princess in the main hall. ”
When I walked into the palace, I saw that in front of the main hall, Di Si and Fu Xin were looking forward to it. Yuan Han heard the sound and quickly walked into the courtyard.
"Is there anything you need to pack?" Yuan Han looked at Chan'er and asked.
"There is my father's sword and my mother's white jade flute, and the rest is not worth nostalgia, I just want to take a turn in the palace before leaving." Chan'er said.
"Well, you and Twilight can walk around as you please. We're waiting for news here. Plug said.
After Zhan Duxiao and Chan'er walked away, Yuan Han said again:
"You don't need it, Yinchen Xuan shouldn't be swept into the whirlpool of the court."
"I'm here alone, nothing to do with Hidden Dust Xuan." He said in a chic manner, "Emperor Xuan has been waiting for the two of you for so long, will he come in person?" ”
"As far as I know, yes." Yuan Han said briefly.
"We're just a few people, why should he be like a great enemy." Blocking his eyes looked around at Gong Fox and Tang Yin, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"He has to meet in person and exchange mutual determination, so that he can really feel at ease."
"I'm worried that he will kill you and Chan'er."
"Chan'er and I have Hengguo, Nanguo, and Night Kingdom behind us, which is what the emperor is afraid of, and it is also a place of concern. If reconciliation can be made, why risk falling out with the Three Kingdoms. ”
"You will regret giving up the honor of the throne like this?"
"Born in the royal family, it is a luxury to be able to retire indifferently, how have you ever seen Chan'er reluctant?" Yuan Han smiled indifferently and said, "Moreover, it is already the blessing of my three lives to be able to get the admiration of Youting and Yinyin, and I just want to live an ordinary life with beautiful women in the future." ”
"As soon as you leave, I will stay in the Hidden Dust Xuan, and I will not easily set foot in this prosperous capital."

Two days later, Chen's name was located in Hengguo's mansion-
"Madam, the fruit picked by the prince and the two young masters yesterday, the slave maid washed a plate and put it on the table, you can taste it." Tama, who used to be a concubine and is now a lady, said.
"Why didn't the three of them see anyone, where did they go?" Mrs. Ie, asked with a smile.
"There are two cases of meeting votes being exchanged today, and the amount of money is not small, and Young Master Xiuxuan went to the money village in person. Childe and Young Master Xiuxi seemed to want to see a friend, so they set off early in the morning. ”
"It seems that only the two of us are eating at home today, let's make something light."
"Yes."
Xiuxi and Chen hurried early in the morning, and by noon they had arrived at the border of Gu and Heng, and sat down to rest in a tea house.
"Are you so sure that they will come to Hengguo?" Chen said.
"After saying goodbye to the country at night, she has returned to the country of Nan, and now she respects Princess Chanyuan to become a concubine in the lonely country, but in Hengguo or Princess Kuichan, is Hengguo not the only choice under the sadness?" Xiuxi said.
"Indeed, if we take the post road, we can always wait for them here. But if you meet and say something, congratulations to her, can she also wander in the future? Chen was still outspoken when he spoke.
"I haven't thought about anything yet, but I just heard from your people that she and King Fu were surrounded by a group of guards led by Emperor Xuan, and talked for an hour at night, and then the prince was 'suffering from a hidden disease', and the princess was 'far away from another country', and she was not angry for a while, and she wanted to see her well."
"Zhan Duxiao is by her side, what do you bother."
"It's all here, but it's not necessarily in vain. I lost archery last time, and I want to win it back. ”
"What's the comparison this time?"
"Drinking, how?"
"I know a recipe, use the citrus chess pieces to grind the end of the honey into pills, camphor wood, kudzu decoction water, you can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
"No need, I'm going to win this time with my strength."
"What if you win?"
"It's just fun." Xiuxi said, stretching her arms and stretching her waist.
"I'm not going crazy with you. When you and Zhan Duxiao are drinking, I am the only one who chats with Sister Chan'er. Chen smiled slyly at Xiuxi.
"No, no, the hangover recipe is still prepared by yourself, and you will drink all the wine later."
"I don't." Chen said, raising his eyebrows in the distance, "Well, people are already here, you can greet yourself." ”
When Xiuxi heard this, she turned around, and the pair of beautiful people walking side by side were not Zhan Duxiao and Chan'er, of course, there was an original meaning next to her.
Under the warm noon sun, Xiuxi waved his hand vigorously at the visitor, although Chen smiled secretly in his heart, but his face also had a look of joy.
Chan'er and Zhan Dusk suddenly met with their old friends, and the haze of the days was suddenly swept away. Drink and enjoy, the rivers and lakes are far away, where are relatives and friends, and ask yourself where to stay.
