Chapter 524: The Cage of the World

To Chu Xuanzhao's surprise, in addition to Qing'an Longxian in this courtyard, there are also a man and a woman here, namely Zhao Yunlong and Empress Zhao, Qing'an Longxian, as the owner of the Dragon Palace Courtyard, naturally sits between the two of them.

Today's Qing'an Longxian rarely changes into a red dress, even if it is a woman over thirty years old, it is still a national color and fragrance, no wonder the master liked him at a glance, in addition to the royal atmosphere and dignified elegance that penetrates into the bone marrow, there is a calm woman style, it is really a peerless beauty in the world, and it also makes him feel more and more awe from the bottom of his heart.

On the contrary, Empress Zhao, who likes to wear red, has changed into a white robe today, compared to Zhao Yunlong's dark black robe and Qing'an Longxian's red robe, she is the most conspicuous among the three, and the feminine temperament on her body that is proud of the world's heroes makes it difficult for Chu Xianzhao to ignore, and her half-sister has the same face that makes men in the world fascinated, but there is a gloomy aura in her eyes that makes people feel scared, and there is a bit of scrutiny hidden under this breath, like an ancient dragon staring at mortals.

Compared with Empress Zhao, who had a gloomy demeanor, Qing'an Longxian was as kind as an elder in terms of demeanor and charm, and his gaze was very soft and graceful when he saw Chu Xuanzhao, and he had a calm and calm style.

The two sisters are not similar in terms of appearance, but they have their own charms, Chu Xianzhao looked at the two sisters in a daze, and for some reason there were complicated emotions in his heart.

He was like a flying eagle that had strayed into a dragon's den, and now he was surrounded by three dragons, scrutinized little by little by three pairs of eyes, and one of the female dragons had a deep scrutiny hidden in her eyes, like a gaze like food.

Empress Zhao kept looking at Chu Xianzhao, there was an undisguised deep meaning in her eyes, before she came, Zhao Xi told her that the sword posture used by this young man was very similar to the sword moves of the Xilin Sword God back then, she vaguely remembered that when she was five or six years old, the man known as the Sword God defeated her imperial sister with two swords, and there were sword marks left by him on the city wall.

Empress Zhao felt that he could not be compared with the Xilin Sword God back then, the gap between the two was wide enough to be heaven and earth, that was a man who was called the Sword God, how could any weak-crowned young man be comparable or even surpassed.

Chu Xianzhao calmed his mind, bowed to the three of Qing'an Longxian, and said, "I've seen Qing'an Longxian." ”

The corners of Zhao Yunlong's mouth were slightly upturned, Empress Zhao's expression was unclear, the smile on Zhao Xi's face was even softer, and he said, "Let Tang Gongzi come to the Dragon Palace Courtyard early in the morning, it's hard work, please sit down." ”

Chu Xianzhao can also be regarded as a person who has seen many emperor heroes, even in the face of these royal women, he is not restrained, nor does he sit down, but asks straight to the point: "I don't know what Lord Longxian wants to invite me here today?"

Zhao Xi smiled helplessly: "Sometimes I am called Her Royal Highness the eldest princess too much, and I forget who I used to be." This time I invited you to come to the Dragon Palace Courtyard, in fact, I want to ask you about kendo, this doesn't let my sister and cousin also come, you young people in Falling Sun City can communicate more on weekdays, don't make each other lifeless because of identity issues, the title of princess is just a false name. ”

Chu Xianzhao said with a slight shame: "Isn't Lord Long Immortal afraid of playing the piano to the cow?"

The smile on Qing'an Longxian's face softened even more, and he said softly: "Not to mention why you, a person who has never met me, have a sword red dragon, even if I, Zhao Xi, have not used a sword for many years, I also know how difficult it is to learn the domineering double sword flow of the Xilin Sword God, in the eyes of the world, it is simply a dragon slaying technique, but it appears in your hands." ”

Chu Xianzhao's face was still calm after hearing the four words of Xilin Sword God, but Empress Zhao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Your name is Tang Huang, right?"

"Yes, what advice does Her Royal Highness have for you?"

She said slowly: "Your eyes are very similar to a person I have seen, even the eyes are very similar. ”

Empress Zhao stood up, moved the lotus step and slowly walked in front of Chu Xianzhao, and her scrutinizing gaze never moved away from his face, until Qing'an Longxian coughed lightly and said, "Little sister, you are a little rude like this, Tang Gongzi is our guest." ”

Empress Zhao finally took a deep look at Chu Xianzhao, after all, she didn't let her see any heresy, but she didn't know that Chu Xianzhao's back was already soaked with sweat, and I have to say that the rooting mask on her face really played a big role.

"Why does he feel so familiar to me, could it be that I am overly worried?" Empress Zhao's beautiful eyebrows knicked and murmured in a low voice.

"Cousin is not tempted, Tang Huang is my good friend, do you want me to help you be a matchmaker. The open-mouthed little grandfather Zhao Yunlong looked at Queen Zhao with a smile, and was rewarded by her.

"Tang Huang, have you ever had breakfast, if not, you might as well come with us. Qing'an Longxian's lips seemed to have a hint of a smile on his lips.

As soon as the words fell, a graceful maid brought a silver plate for them to clean their hands, and after Chu Xianzhao just wiped his palms, the little grandfather appeared behind him like a ghost, hugged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Look at our Tang Gongzi is really a big Buddha who is difficult to invite, this time I finally called you here, do you know, after you won the Zhehan Shizi that night, that little madman was so angry that he was about to go crazy, and he wanted to rush to the Shen Mansion to fight you again several times, but people stopped him." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Chu instantly recalled the mad dog-like prince of Zhejiang and Han, and he was still afraid for a while.

"I don't know where you learned your sword red dragon, and you still use it so well, you now

It's so famous, even my two cousins want to meet you, right, second cousin. The little grandfather turned his head to look at Queen Zhao, who had not liked to talk to him since he was a child, and she gave him a cold look as in the past, as if she would pull out her sword from her waist in the next moment.

She really wanted to see this illegitimate son of the Shen family who moved the imperial city, but after seeing it, she was more uneasy, especially those purple eyes were as hateful as Chu Xianzhao, until she used the qi machine to probe his body and found that she did not perceive the existence of Wang Xi, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and after confirming that she was too worried, her mood was still difficult to calm down.

The four of them sat at a round table by the lake, and the table was full of delicious food. In the end, two maidservants brought a freshly baked yellow-lipped fish, which was equivalent to gold, and in addition to the fatty and attractive flesh, the real value was its swim bladder, which could be made into the finest fish maw, and the maidservant cut two knives into the belly of the fish with a long knife as smooth as a mirror, and the delicious and attractive soup overflowed the whole plate.

Zhao Xi pointed to this yellow-lipped fish and said with a smile: "This yellow-lipped fish is self-raised in the courtyard of the Dragon Palace, although it is not as good as the Zhejiang and Han sides, but the taste is also unique, come and try it." ”

After Chu Xianzhao ate and drank enough, his eyes quietly fell on the face of Empress Zhao opposite, and the other party chewed slowly, giving people the feeling that it was as pleasing to the eye as watching a painter paint.

After Zhao Xi rinsed his mouth with a bowl of tea, he said indifferently: "Okay, the meal has also been eaten, and people have seen it, you two can leave, I have a few questions to ask him privately." ”

Obviously, the only people that Empress Zhao respects on weekdays are Qing'an Longxian and the Queen Mother, so she has never been used to hiding the expression on her face in front of her eldest sister, and she immediately showed a displeased look on her face, put down her chopsticks and said: "Sister Huang, he is an outsider, I don't worry about ......"

Zhao Xi glanced at his sister without being salty, and said in an accentuated tone: "Little sister." ”

Empress Zhao seemed to be choked, looked at herself coldly and got up and left, Zhao Yunlong also followed, and did not forget to make a grimace to herself before leaving.

Chu Xianzhao secretly snickered in his heart, it seems that Empress Zhao, a female dragon who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is actually afraid of Qing'an Dragon Immortal, it is really one thing and one thing to descend.

Zhao Xi put down his chopsticks and smiled at him: "Tang Huang, I can see that you are a person who has seen the world, Shen Sanqian can give birth to a son like you, it is much more blessed than him to give birth to six or seven daughters, and your strength is also a rare existence in the current Nanlu rivers and lakes." ”

"Lord Long Immortal is very familiar with my father?" Chu Xianzhao asked tentatively.

"I don't know him very well, but I know him well, when I was a little girl, he once gave me a very beautiful jade bracelet, I don't know where I put it, it's a pity. Zhao Xi leaned back in the chair and laughed softly: "I still have a good baby, and I have become a princess above 10,000 people, although you are an illegitimate child who is not seen in the mouths of everyone, don't you see that we are also sitting at the same table to eat now? ”

Chu Xianzhao shook his head and smiled: "Lord Dragon Immortal's words are really humble. ”

Zhao Xi's eyes narrowed softly, and he asked directly without being shocked: "You should tell me why you have a relationship with the Xilin Sword God, and then tell me if you lie to me, you won't be able to get out of here today." ”

Chu Xianzhao hesitated, Zhao Xi's eyes were still very soft when he looked at him, but there was a deep scrutiny hidden under this softness, just like the mother of the main house saw her master's illegitimate son for the first time, and she didn't know whether to accept the existence of this child.

"He's my master, and he told me about you. Chu Xianzhao didn't think about hiding it from her, and answered directly.

Qing'an Longxian's smile suddenly became a little bitter: "He is your master, I saw that you have a good relationship with him that night, I didn't expect him to accept students, it seems that his life is better than I imagined, how did you and him meet?"

"You know that I am an illegitimate child, the master once took me in for a while, saying that I am a rare swordsmanship genius to teach me swordsmanship, I have been practicing swordsmanship with the master for several years, and then I learned from our mother that my father was originally Shen Sanqian, so I found my father, and now I will come to the sunset. Chu Xianzhao found that he was lying now, and his face really did not change, and Qing'an Longxian nodded again and again when he listened.

"Your master's daughter...... Is she doing well?"

"You mean Guan Ju?"

Speaking of her illegitimate daughter, the most powerful woman in Qingguo couldn't help but reddened her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly: "My daughter is ...... Are you doing well?"

"Guan Ju is very good, I thought she had found you. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Chu Xianzhao explained: "Now that the West has returned to the country, the master wants to go back to the West, but Guan Ju said that he wants to travel the world to practice swordsmanship, and then come to Qingguo to find you, and I will go to Guhe City to find my father Shen Sanqian, and the three of us are separated like this." ”

"I see...... Qing'an Longxian looked at him thoughtfully, becoming more and more interested in this young man, and asked, "Then how are you practicing now that your master taught you the Twin Sword Flow?"

Chu Xianzhao scratched his head slightly and said, "Didn't you see it that night?"

"Tang Huang, I may be angry with you, judging from your background, your luck is not very good, you

It's an illegitimate child who doesn't even protect the law, and there was a powerful father who forgot about you for many years, until you met Guan Changye and asked him to take you as an apprentice. ”

As soon as Chu Xianzhao wanted to say something, Zhao Xi grabbed the two swords beside him and said in an unquestionable tone: "Let's talk with the sword, when I first met your master, it was like this." ”

Chu Xian thought to himself that this Qing'an Dragon Immortal seemed to be soft and gentle, but in fact, he had a good temperament, and he must do what he was determined to do, and the vigorous love between the two back then was not without the reason of her personality.

After Zhao Yunlong and Empress Zhao left the Dragon Palace Courtyard, Empress Zhao ignored this cousin who was loved by many girls in Luoyang City, and Zhao Yunlong couldn't guess what she wanted about her cousin's thoughts.

Since she burned the prime minister's family with dragon flame on the wedding day, for a time from the princess who was loved by everyone to the street rat that everyone shouted and beaten, the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian ten thousand people wrote to the emperor to ask for the execution of Queen Zhao, in order to calm the anger of the people, and was directly ignored by the emperor who loved her daughter, in order to save her life, she could only be expelled from Luoyang City, and a seaside palace was established for her, and she was not allowed to step into Luoyang City half a step without her own permission.

But she came back anyway.

After she learned of the death of the emperor, she came by dragon from the Hongtan Palace without authorization, dressed in a vegetarian and wearing a white crown on her head, and climbed the stairs in front of everyone, strode into the emperor's mourning hall and put three incense sticks on him and then walked away, just as she had burned the entire prime minister's mansion to ashes in order to fight against the marriage arranged for her by the emperor.

In his opinion, Empress Zhao has been a spoiled girl since she was a child, and her emperor's uncle really spoiled her, I heard that when she was five years old, she sat on the emperor's lap and asked the emperor's uncle how many carp there were in the Taiqing Pond, and the emperor ordered someone to catch all the carp in the palace and let her show the number of people.

Although the blood between the two is thicker than water, this blood seems to contain ice slag, and every time he wanted to get close to Empress Zhao when he was a child, he would be frozen by her eyes and let himself roll away from her.

Zhao Yunlong secretly glanced at the plain white long legs wrapped under the red skirt, although he was a noble son with outstanding demeanor in the eyes of the girls in Luoyang City, yes, when he went out to play, he would meet a girl shouting to marry him, but compared to Queen Zhao, he was like a cowherd in the countryside.

She has a beautiful appearance that makes women all over the world feel ashamed of themselves, a pair of hands that are like mutton fat and beautiful jade, which are only suitable for gently brushing a man's sideburns, a woman like her, no matter which man has her, should feel fortunate in three lives.

Zhao Yunlong looked at this slender figure that he couldn't understand for the rest of his life, there was no deep desire for ordinary men to look at her, only a trace of sadness that was difficult to hide.

"From childhood to adulthood, you and Zhao Wentian are the happiest children. Empress Zhao suddenly said this sentence for no reason.

Empress Zhao secretly mocked and said: "Since the change of seizing the door, the only royal family men in this city who can really be surnamed Zhao are you and Zhao Wentian, this surname has brought you a lot of things that men can't get in their lives, if you are not surnamed Zhao, do you think anyone in this city will look at you more? Who would want to be your friend? Have you ever experienced the heartbreaking feeling after losing?"

Zhao Yunlong was silent and shook his head.

Facing her cousin's silence, Empress Zhao raised her eyebrows and asked, "You seem to be very familiar with this illegitimate child, when did your dating standards become so low?"

Zhao Yunlong explained: "We met in Longhe Tower, he saved a piano girl who was bullied, and then I became friends with him, and he is the son of Uncle Shen. ”

"That's all?" Empress Zhao looked at him suspiciously.

"Cousin, don't you like him?" Zhao Yunlong saw through her mind at a glance.

Empress Zhao said calmly: "Why should I like a stranger, not to mention that I hate his eyes." ”

Zhao Yunlong smiled and said, "If it were me, I would let him stay by our side to help us, or join the Dragon Protector army, aren't we going to go to war with the Northern Regions?"

Empress Zhao said softly: "You are still a lot smarter than when you were a child, but I really don't like his eyes, I always feel like I was stung by a scorpion when he looks at me." ”

"Don't do bad things during the day, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Zhao Yunlong quipped.

Empress Zhao stretched out her hand for the first time and pinched this handsome and dashing face, and said with a smile: "You will reason with me, she looks much better than when she was a child, but she is actually still a little child, do you like a girl in Luoyang City, my cousin will go to talk to you as a matchmaker." ”

Zhao Yunlong didn't look flattered, let her pinch her face and said, "Cousin, in my opinion, Sunset City is a cage for you, are you really happy in it?"

"You're wrong, not only this city, but the world is a cage. ”

After Empress Zhao let go of her fingers, she showed a touching smile and said something that made Zhao Yunlong puzzled.

"And I'll break this cage myself, no, it's us. ”
