"The Holy Lord has assigned you a marriage to your fourth brother, which is a happy event." The eldest prince listened to the words of the third prince as usual, and when the third prince finished speaking, Fang smiled and gently persuaded the third prince, "You are not young at this age, and you should add someone to the mansion seriously, since the saint has pointed to marriage, you can let the people in your mansion prepare for a good life, there is nothing to panic about." If there is anything you don't understand, just let someone come to your sister-in-law. ”

"Big brother, I didn't mean this...... the third prince twisted his brows and opened his mouth, looked at the eldest prince with a calm face with a depressed face, and called out to the eldest brother dryly, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a small guy waiting outside, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back hard, and he took a breath again, frowned and was silent for a moment, and said in a vague tone, "The Li family and the Luo family are in-laws, Li Chongshan was promoted to the secretary of the military department before, and now he pointed out the people of the Luo family to me......"

In the middle of the words, the third prince stopped again, wrinkled his brows and muttered for a moment, took a slow breath, and when he raised his eyes to look at the eldest prince again, his eyes were more solemn and resolute, staring at the eldest prince and saying word by word: "I'm telling the truth to my eldest brother, I haven't thought about what to do all these years." Today, that's what I think. But I can only say this to the eldest brother, and the second brother and the fourth brother are afraid that they will not believe it. ”

"The saint has always been far-sighted, and others can't guess the saint's intentions, whether it is to let Li Chongshan be promoted, or to marry you and the fourth brother, after all, it is all for the good of you and my brother." The eldest prince was silent for a moment while holding the teacup, and then watched the third prince sigh slowly, and persuaded in a serious voice, "How was you and my brother before, and what is still now, you don't have to worry too much, the second brother and the fourth brother are both understanding people, and they will not be confused." ”

The third prince frowned and opened his mouth, and before he could speak, he was blocked by the eldest prince's coughing sound one after another.

The eldest prince held the teacup and coughed for a while before he slowly eased his breath, waved his hand at the third prince with a tired expression, and persuaded in a gentle and patient voice: "Okay, don't be sad, it's a good thing that the marriage is decided." You hurry back and let people get ready. The Ministry of Rites is busy preparing for next month's exam, I'm afraid that there won't be so many people to prepare for your marriage with the fourth brother. ”

After saying that, Fang raised his voice and called the steward outside to come in and send the three princes out, and before leaving, he smiled and told the three princes: "If there is anything to do, just come to your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law will handle the affairs of the inner house than our brotherhood." ”

The third prince had to agree, thanked the eldest prince, said goodbye, walked out of the palace with a look of pity, got into the carriage at the side door, put down the curtain of the car, his face suddenly gloomy, his eyes were gloomy against the inner wall of the carriage, his fingers slowly tapped the desk at his feet, his eyes were staring at the teapot with curling green smoke on the stove, the look in his eyes changed uncertainly, and he stopped his fingers for a long time, slowly clenched them into fists, and slowly loosened them, but in a moment, the gloom in his eyes converged in the blink of an eye. As if the coldness of the moment just now was just an illusion of others, he let go of his hands and feet and fell into the carriage, breathed a long sigh of relief, and reached out and knocked on the inner wall of the carriage: "Go to the imperial mausoleum." ”

Compared with the tightness and solemnity of the capital, the southern border, which is thousands of miles away, is full of spring. Longxi in late February is already sunny in spring, the snow on the road has already melted, the grass grows and the warbler flies, a hundred flowers bloom, the green on the Mangshan Mountain, all kinds of well-known unknown mountain flowers spread out of a piece, all the way are the breeze and warm sun, along the way the mountain spring dingdong birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, it is really picturesque.

Chen Jing, the prefect of Longxi, was waiting outside the gate of Yucheng in an official uniform that did not fit very well at the moment, wiping the fine sweat on his face, stretched his neck and looked into the lush wilderness, and did not stare at the figure for a long time with his eyes wide open, until his neck stiffened, he retracted his gaze anxiously, paced back and forth at the door several times with his hands behind his back, and stopped to look out after taking two steps.

The master and the others who followed behind Chen Jing also wiped their sweat again and again, and circled around Chen Jing like headless flies.

After more than a quarter of an hour, Chen Jing wiped his forehead and paused, Master Wei in the back didn't pay attention, almost hit his head, stumbled twice, quickly stood up and took a step back, and hesitated to ask Chen Jing: "My lord?" ”

"Look at you, what kind of system you have become!" Chen Jing scolded Master Wei with a solemn face, wrinkled his brows and looked at the people who were following the circle behind him, and nodded to the group of people who were angry and said, "The prince is just coming to patrol by holy order, what is there to panic about?" ”

Master Wei opened his mouth, glanced at Chen Jing, his mind moved slightly, and he nodded his head down the slope and admitted his mistake again and again: "The adult has taught him a lesson!" The little ones are not as good as the adults, they have never seen the world, and they are all frightened by the reputation of the prince, since yesterday I heard that the prince is coming, the little heart has been hanging, and I panicked for a while, and the adults forgive me......"

"That's it! Stand up, don't let the prince see the joke! Chen Jing frowned and said "um", no longer reprimanded, pulled the sleeves that were obviously a little tight, wiped his face again, and kept walking around the city gate, looking outside the city from time to time.

On the official road ten miles away from Yucheng, the forest is verdant, the sun shines down through the shade of the trees, mottled and bright, the roadside is a wild forest, the edge of the forest is half a person's high grass, the breeze blows, the grass moves with the wind, and occasionally a few voices are faintly heard.

Qingchuan rode a horse and walked on the right side, his eyes swept over the grass, his face gradually became more solemn, and he quietly shook his head towards the green mountains on the left, and then rode up, followed behind Wei Xuan, and lowered his voice and asked: "Master, there are more than 20 people this time." ”

As soon as Qingchuan's words fell, the man in Tsing Yi beside Wei Jian nodded, and added with a twisted brow: "Those people from the previous two days should be all the way, and the concealment methods are similar." ”

Wei Wei frowned, the hand holding the reins loosened, his cold gaze swept over the silent woods, his face was more cold, and he didn't know how to move, and in the blink of an eye, he raised his hand and threw the dagger into the grass. The dense grass shook with the dagger for a moment, and then fell silent again, swaying only in the breeze, as if the dagger had simply fallen into the grass and disappeared.

The birds in the trees stopped at some point, only the sound of the breeze blowing the branches and swaying, and the huge forest seemed unusually quiet. Qingchuan's faces became more and more cold, and their eyes stared at the grass everywhere.

Almost instantly, several black shadows suddenly swept out of the originally silent grass, and in a single breath, they had already passed in front of the eyes of the group, and at the same time, countless sword shadows combined with hidden weapons quietly poured down from all directions.
