[Chapter Ninety-Four-Heavenly Eagle Pavilion] What is the disaster of innocence

As the year approaches, time will always pass a little faster. On this day, it was early in the morning, and it was rare that no one was waiting in front of the imperial study to discuss politics, and Sixi smiled and said: "The emperor wants to go out of the palace for a walk?" Recently, the streets have been bustling with activity. ”

Chu Yuan said: "What is the happy thing?" ”

"There are no big happy events, but small happy events are constantly on the line every day." Sixi said, "It's almost the New Year, and the merchants are trying to attract guests, and there are many rare things from all over the world. There are also many people who hold marriages, and it is said that if you want to invite the suona team, you have to rely on grabbing, and even the price of banging the gong to open the way has increased more than five times. ”

"You can inquire clearly." Chu Yuan smiled, "It's okay, it's okay to go out for a walk." ”

Sixi waited for him to change into civilian clothes, and the master and servant did not sit in a sedan chair and walked out of the palace. The street is really lively, there are really many people who marry relatives, and I also met a big family who sprinkled candy while walking, peanut crisp with broken lotus seeds, sweet maltose mixing, take a good omen.

The people were smiling and receiving candy on both sides of the road, and the little doll was even more jumping in and running, but accidentally fell, and the slimy little hands grabbed the hem of Chu Yuan's clothes and rubbed them, leaving black marks.

"Ahh Sixi is in a hurry.

"It's okay, the child is not careful." Chu Yuan smiled and signaled him not to scare the little doll, "Let's go, there is Qianfan's mansion in front of me, just go and see if he is cured, I haven't seen him in the morning court for three days." ”

"Yes." Sixi wiped the hem of his clothes for him and squeezed through the crowd to the General's Mansion. Sun Moon Villa is the head of the Jianghu sect, and the house repaired for the third young master will naturally not be small, the cornices and corners are painted with Zhu Yong, and the words on the plaque are inscribed by Chu Yuan himself, and it is very imposing when viewed from a distance.

"Your Majesty." Someone whispered from behind.

Chu Yuan turned around.

Liu Dajiong was carrying a few packs of supplements in his hand, trotted over and said, "Your Majesty, is this going to General Shen's mansion to visit?" ”

Chu Yuan nodded: "It's such a coincidence, you can also meet Liu Aiqing here." ”

"It's not a secret, Weichen is also going to visit General Shen, who has been sick for two or three days, which makes people worry." Liu Dajiong shook the red paper bag in his hand, "This is a good thing, a big supplement." ”

Chu Yuan smiled and quipped: "If I remember correctly, Liu Aiqing's niece has already become a relative last month." ”

"The fourth niece has been completed, but the fifth niece has not yet been completed." Liu Dajiong is very realistic, "This General Shen is fragrant and can't be slack." ”

Four joys straight toothache.

Chu Yuan also couldn't cry or laugh at his hobby, so Sixi stepped forward and pulled the knocker.

The one who came to open the door was not the old butler, but a □□-year-old boy, who looked like a foreigner, and his eyes were a little gray, but they were shining.

"Who are you looking for?" The teenager asked.

"We are friends with General Shen." Sixi said, "I heard that the general was sick, so I came to visit him." ”

"That's right." The boy turned sideways, "General Shen is in the backyard." ”

"Thank you." Sixi asked, "What about Uncle Zhong?" On weekdays, he opens the door. ”

"Uncle Zhong went to buy New Year's goods." The young man closed the door, "I want to watch the door, I can't leave, you can go in by yourself." ”

After Sixi thanked him, the three of them walked to the backyard together. Chu Yuan said: "The gray-eyed boy seems to be from the Crescent Moon Country. ”

Sixi and Liu Dajiong glanced at each other and were silent.

This is where.

Haven't heard of it.

I don't know.

Chu Yuan said with a smile: "A small country in the Western Regions, and there is very little contact with Great Chu, but Qianfan was born in the rivers and lakes, and it is not strange that there are these friends in the mansion, and I just mentioned it casually." ”

Although the mansion is not small, there are not many people, and most of them have returned to their hometowns near the end of the year, looking a little empty.

"Look, I'll just say that General Shen should have gotten married a long time ago." Liu Dajiong said, "The New Year is deserted, there is no daughter-in-law and no children, no matter how big the house is, it doesn't look like it." ”

"Aiqing doesn't want to play the side drums." Chu Yuan said, "This is the New Year, can't you let my ear root stop for a moment?" ”

"Ahem." Liu Dajiong shut up and became successful, not to say or to say.

Chu Yuan stretched out his hand and pushed open the backyard door.

Liu Dajiong's smile froze on his face.

Shen Qianfan was chatting with someone under the tree, and the other party was a pretty woman in red, with bright facial features and a bewitching figure, black hair hanging down her waist like a waterfall, and a colorful jewel on her wrist, looking this way.

"Cinnabar girl?" Chu Yuan smiled.

"The last general will see the emperor." Shen Qianfan saluted, secretly complaining in his heart - there was no one to pass it on.

"Your Majesty." Cinnabar was also a little surprised.

"You don't look sick." Chu Yuan smiled, "Excuse me." ”

Shen Qianfan coughed twice: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"The last time I saw the girl, it was in the northwest desert." Chu Yuan said, "Since you have come to the royal city, why don't you come to the palace as a guest." ”

"Just arrived the day before yesterday." Cinnabar Road.

"So somebody was sick for three days." Chu Yuan patted Shen Qianfan's shoulder, with a deep meaning.

Shen Qianfan's face suddenly turned red.

Liu Dajiong wanted to cry when he saw it, and he worked in vain for more than half a year, and he liked this kind of thing, so he didn't say it early.

Cinnabar said: "I'm here to look for medicine in Wangcheng." ”

"Did you find it?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Hmm." Cinnabar said, "I originally planned to go to the palace tomorrow to visit the emperor, and by the way, I will send a map." ”

"Maps?" Chu Yuan said, "Where is the map?" ”

Cinnabar said: "Fei Burma." ”

Chu Yuan was slightly surprised.

"The last time I heard the emperor mention Tianchensha, I paid a little more attention." Cinnabar said, "Our people make a living as witch doctors, and they have always traveled around without a fixed place, and more than ten years ago, some people have also been to the South China Sea to treat the princess of the country of Fei and Burma. ”

"Oh?" Chu Yuan asked, "Where are the girl's clansmen now?" ”

"Dead." Cinnabar said, "He didn't leave anything, only this map of the sea area of the country, which Ah Jiu found when he was sorting out his father's relics." ”

"So." Chu Yuan understood, "Thank you, girl." ”

"The emperor's words are serious, it's just a gesture." Cinnabar said, "Then I'll go back to my room and get the map." ”

Chu Yuan nodded slightly, and after seeing her leave, he looked at Shen Qianfan with quite connotative eyes.

"Your Majesty." Shen Qianfan's scalp was numb, "Miss Cinnabar just came to borrow it from the mansion." ”

"How many inns are there in this royal city, and you have to borrow them to stay in the General's Mansion?" Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Shen Qianfan said: "There are many guest rooms, and they are empty. ”

"You." Chu Yuan patted him, "Dead eyes." ”

Liu Dajiong also cried with a sad face on the side.

Shen Qianfan's head ached faintly.

Fortunately, Chu Yuan knew his character, and he didn't say much, and after taking the map, he said goodbye with Sixi, and took Liu Dajiong away by the way.

This map is somewhat sloppy, and it can only be seen that the country of Fima is a country of twenty-three islands, scattered in the White Fog Sea, and the area is extremely extensive. Other than that, only a few freshwater sources were indicated, and there was no other useful information.

The rebellion in the East China Sea has not yet been settled, and it is too early for the kingdom of Tephi-Burma. Chu Yuan put the map away, opened a letter on the table from Donghai, and read it hastily.

"It was sent by Lord Wen, right?" Sixi poured tea for him and asked with a smile.

Chu Yuan nodded. The content of this letter is extremely detailed, Wen Liunian was happy in it, first said that he had made contact with King Duan, and King Duan also sent three red-armored wolves to the Lord of Ye Valley, and then said that Chu Heng has been sending people to pretend to be ghosts in the three-foot wave, thanks to the help of King Duan, together with the Lord of the Shen League, the third watch blew up the warship in the middle of the night, and the firelight illuminated the sky, which shocked the father and son of the Chu family Dumbfounded.

Chu Yuan smiled thoughtfully.

After that, it's Chinese New Year's Eve. The palace set up a banquet to invite hundreds of civil and military officials, Shen Qianfeng and Ye Jin returned to Sun Moon Villa for the New Year, and in Da Kun City, Wen Liunian was eating a reunion dinner. As for Duan Baiyue, he also followed the customs and brought a plate of dumplings and a pot of wine, and drank it alone to the moon.

Duan Nian sighed in his heart while pouring wine for him. After turning the year, the prince is thirty years old, and he is still not married.

At the age of eighteen, the red silk was torn up, and it has not been used up yet, and Aunt Jin is afraid that she will die in a hurry.

As the New Year turns, time flies faster and faster. The inside of the royal city seems to be calm and calm, but those who know the inside story are worried and waiting for the day when the war will start in the future.

"Old Tao." In the morning of this day, Liu Dajiong smashed him with his arm, squeezing his eyebrows, "Our emperor, how is it?" ”

Tao Rende was unfathomable and glanced at him.

"Ahh Liu Dajiong sighed, "I'm afraid it won't take a few years for you and me to return to our hometown for the elderly." The first emperor thought too much at the beginning, we, the emperor, where can we use an old man like you and me to assist for twenty years, ten years is too much. ”

Tao Rende said: "It's too early to say such things. ”

"Why is it so early?" Liu Dajiong said, "What does the emperor want to do this time, others don't know, you old weasel still don't know?" ”

Tao Rende said: "It's one thing to be peaceful in the four seas, and it's another thing to take a concubine and become a prince. The emperor only did the first four words, and the latter thing, but there was no shadow. ”

"It's up to you." Liu Dajiong rolled his sleeves, "But I think it's difficult!" ”

Tao Rende glanced at him: "Don't eat fire today?" ”

Liu Dajiong smiled: "Eat!" "You pay the money.

On the long street, a team of silver-armored soldiers was riding their horses forward, and Liu Dajiong hurriedly covered the fire, for fear that it would fall into ashes.

Tao Rende said: "It's the Silver Armor Guard." ”

Liu Dajiong was concentrating on the fire, and he didn't want to be disturbed by other things.

This pro-guard army was established by Shen Qianfan, and after pacifying the rebels in the Northeast Snow Plain, it has been secretly raised in Yuzui Reef in the North Sea, and it is only said that it was sent to Sun Moon Mountain Villa, and only a few people know the truth.

In today's northwest border, the rebels of the desert countries have been removed, and further north, the Rakshasa country is also greatly injured by the war. The Seven Peerless Kingdoms allied with the Chu State to jointly excavate the water dragon vein, connect the new river channel with the ancient Silk Road, and the trade route directly led to the westernmost port of the mainland, so that the people did not lack food and clothing, and lived a stable and happy life. In the Northeast Snow Plain, the remnants of the previous dynasty have been eliminated. The people who live on the border all year round have been moved south in batches in a planned way, and their lives no longer have to be disturbed by the weather, and the granaries and wardrobes are full.

In this way, the forces that were previously pressed on the northern border can be withdrawn and redeployed, and there is no need to worry about the future.

Chu Yuan left a fire paint mark on the letter, and sent someone to send it to the East China Sea and Muyang City for eight hundred miles.

A few months later, a thunderbolt exploded in Dachu.

The king of the southwest reversed.

"This time it's different, this time it's really the opposite!" On the streets of Wangcheng, the price of small talk books has skyrocketed, but it is still in short supply. Even if the people break their heads, they have to buy a copy of "The Secret History of the King of the Southwest" to read, so as to understand, how can this good and decent one really be reversed - don't fight all the way to the royal city.

The biggest advantage of Muyang City is that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Southwest Army outflanked the prefect's yamen overnight, threw all the local officials into prison, closed the city gates, and pointed the black muzzles of the cannons at the official road, which made people's hearts numb.

In such a high place where the emperor was far away, the imperial army naturally could not arrive in time. At this time, the only thing that can be counted on is Chu Heng and the Black Dragon Army in Dakun City.

Chu Cheng said angrily: "If I remember correctly, my lord was sent by the emperor to negotiate peace with Duan Baiyue!" ”

Wen Liunian's tone was sad and indignant, I talked about it, I didn't talk about it, who is to blame, do you blame me, can you still make some sense!

Chu Heng's face was gloomy, and he motioned to his son not to say more.

Chu Cheng angrily threw his sleeves out of the door.

After entrenching in the East China Sea for so many years, if you say that you have no strength, naturally no one will believe it. It's just that the father and son of the Chu family didn't want to send troops to meet Duan Baiyue. Since his accession to the throne, the one in the imperial court has made it clear that he wants to gradually withdraw military power, and the most important thing to do at this moment is to preserve his strength to compete with him, rather than charging for him - otherwise, if he really fights head-on with the southwest army for a year and a half, and when both sides are exhausted, the Great Chu army also happens to arrive and enjoy the benefits of its success.

"Father." Chu Cheng said, "But do you want me to personally meet the king of the southwest for a while?" ”

Chu Heng was silent.

"It is not a contradiction that he wants south of the White River, and we want north of the White River." Chu Cheng said, "It is better to rule the world by division than to be cut by the one in the middle of the court little by little." is still ruthless to his biological brother, you and I are at most a relative, can we still expect him to show mercy? ”

Chu Heng nodded slightly.

Chu Cheng understood: "The child understands. ”

On the official road hundreds of miles away, the army of Chu was advancing rapidly, and the Nine Dragons flag covered the sky and the sun, and there was no end in sight.

Chu Yuan was wearing bright yellow soft armor, and he walked in front of thousands of troops and horses with a sword, young and rebellious, and full of spirit.

"Why do you want to drive in person!" In Da Kuncheng, Ye Jin still hates that iron is not steel, he beats the wall with his hands, can't he send someone, what's so good about the surname Duan.

Shen Meng's head hurts.

"Your Majesty." A few days later, Shen Qianfan turned his horse's head in front and came back to say, "There is a Jianghu sect in front of him, called Tianying Pavilion. The head of the house is a childhood friend of the last general, why don't you take a break here tonight? ”

Chu Yuan nodded: "Okay." ”

"I'll arrange it at the end." Shen Qianfan took the order and left. The pavilion master of the Sky Eagle Pavilion is named Li Ying, who lived in the Sun Moon Villa for three or four years when he was a child, and has a good relationship with the Shen family brothers. Ten days ago, I heard the news that the army was going to pass by, where was there still a need for orders, so I had already made spontaneous preparations, collected all the pig's heads, bacon and lamb legs from ten miles and eight townships, and waited for the soldiers of the Chu army to cook and eat.

"After so many days of traveling, I can be regarded as having a decent house to sleep in." Sixi's father-in-law has back pain.

Chu Yuan looked funny: "I said a long time ago that you would stay in the palace, and you have to come out." ”

Sixi said fairly: "That's not possible, the old slave has to serve the emperor." ”

"If you don't lose any weight, it's time for me to find someone to serve you." Chu Yuan patted his stomach, "Okay, let's rest, I'll go see Qianfan." ”

"Yes." Sixi's father-in-law pondered in his heart, this time when he saw the little prince, he didn't know if he could still ask for some herbs to soak in water to drink and lose weight.

In the front hall, Li Ying was chatting with Shen Qianfan, and when he heard his disciple say that the emperor was coming, he hurriedly went out to greet him.

"The pavilion master doesn't have to be polite." Chu Yuan said, "I just came to see it casually, and I didn't disturb the two of you, right?" ”

"The emperor is serious, just talking about some childhood things." Shen Qianfan said, "Also, Brother Fang Cai Li is still glad that he didn't marry his sister to the King of the Southwest." ”

Chu Yuan: "......?" ”

"The emperor doesn't know, my sister is a dead eye." Li Ying said, "When I went to the southwest six or seven years ago, I somehow fell in love with the king of the southwest, and when I came back, I had to ask me to propose marriage." ”

"Oh, there's such a thing." Chu Yuan's attitude is very kind.

"At that time, my father was still alive, and I didn't agree anyway, saying that the king of the southwest was not like a person who could live his part, and he was ambitious and couldn't marry." Li Ying continued.

Chu Yuan nodded: "What Ling Zun said is extremely true. ”

"Later, my father was in charge and married her to the young gang leader of the Weihe Gang." Li Ying sighed, "It's just that she is also really hard, and within a few years of getting married, her husband was castrated." ”

Chu Yuan: "......"

Shen Qianfan was surprised: "Why haven't I heard Brother Li talk about it before, who did it?" ”

Li Ying was embarrassed: "It's hard to say. ”

Shen Qianfan asked again: "What about the girl Li?" Are you still in the Weihe Gang? ”

Li Ying shook her head: "What happened, and she was left to do something at her husband's house, and before I could send someone to pick her up, she came back with a letter of resignation, crying that she wanted to remarry." ”

……

Shen Qianfan could only say: "It's okay." ”

"Don't talk about my bad family affairs." Li Ying said: "The emperor and Brother Shen are really going to leave the day after tomorrow?" Stay longer. ”

"The war is imminent, and there is no delay for a single day." Shen Qianfan said, "Good intentions, let's talk about it when we return." ”

"That's fine." Li Ying said, "Then I will wait here for my Great Chu Iron Cavalry to return with a great victory." ”

Under Muyang City, the Chu army was still scolding - since Chu Yuan had personally led the army south, Chu Heng naturally couldn't do nothing, so he sent two thousand Black Dragon Army to crusade. Or in other words, it is called a crusade, but it is actually a quarrel. Ri Ri just greeted the other party's ancestors under the city wall, and then Mingjin withdrew his troops, and then gave Chu Yuan a fold, showing that he had done his duty.

Duan Nian watched the bustle on the city wall, so he yawned and went back to his room, intending to rest.

The prince has been absent in recent days, and he is not even in the mood to open the city gate to scare this group of people, and he likes to scold for as long as he wants.

On the mountain path, the four hooves of the Fire Cloud Lion soared into the air, like a black lightning bolt. Towns are left behind, and the sky is swept away in spectacular shapes.

"Drive!" Duan Baiyue waved her whip and fluttered, and the hem of her clothes was flying.

"Come, come, come! Selling sugar cakes, the sugar cakes of the ancestral secret recipe of the Eagle Pavilion! "The lively Yamashita market, where vendors are hawking. There are also those who sell grilled fish, rice noodles, and embroidered shoes, all of which are the ancestral industries of the Eagle Pavilion -- it is no wonder that the Eagle Pavilion is the largest sect in the rivers and lakes, and the small traders all like to have some relatives and some reasons, and they have confidence in shouting, and they are not afraid of ruffians and hooligans, and they are good at doing business.

Duan Baiyue left the horse in the inn and climbed all the way to the top from the cliff of the back mountain. Looking down, a large area of houses between the mountain cols is endless, with white walls and black tiles very imposing, it is the Sky Eagle Pavilion.

It was already past the time for lunch, Chu Yuan didn't have much appetite, just drank a pot of fruit tea, and was taking a break in the courtyard at this time. Even though I have my eyes closed, I always feel as if someone is watching me secretly.

……

"Your Majesty." Seeing him get up, Sixi hurriedly said, "Do you want to eat some snacks?" ”

Chu Yuan shook his head: "I want to go out for a walk alone, and no one is allowed to follow." ”

Sixi received the order, but he wondered in his heart, according to the previously agreed time, General Shen estimated that he was coming, where was the emperor going.

Along the path in the forest, Chu Yuan walked forward slowly, the falling leaves under his feet rustled, and the surroundings were even quieter.

Duan Baiyue followed behind him, getting closer and closer, but did not speak.

Chu Yuan stopped, and the corners of his mouth raised.

Quietly looking at the back of her beloved, Duan Baiyue only felt that thousands of feelings were surging in her heart, and for a while, even her eyes were a little hot.

Chu Yuan asked, "What are you here for?" ”

Duan Baiyue strode forward and hugged him into her arms, her voice hoarse: "I miss you." ”

Chu Yuan closed his eyes slightly, allowing him to suck and kiss on his neck, leaving a tingling pain. After a long time, Fang said: "The poison has been cured?" ”

"Hmm." Duan Baiyue tightened her arms, reluctant to let go.

Chu Yuan continued: "Do you remember, what did I say that day? ”

"Forget." Duan Baiyue said, "You forgot too." ”

Chu Yuan leaned into his arms, with a little smile in his voice, and said lazily: "I don't plan to forgive you. ”

Duan Baiyue turned his body and made eye contact with him: "Give me a chance." ”

Chu Yuan stretched out his hand and stroked his cheek, looked at it for a while, and then said, "It's still the same." ”

Duan Baiyue said, "Huh? ”

Chu Yuan said: "Ugly." ”

Duan Baiyue held his hand: "I wasn't ugly, I was poisonous. ”

"Because of the poison, you can go?" Chu Yuan looked at him and withdrew his hand, "It's too late to come back now, I don't want you anymore." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Don't want it." ”

Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"How did you get it in the first place, this king will come again." Duan Baiyue grabbed his wrist and pulled the person into his arms and bowed his head to kiss him, but there was a sudden sound of footsteps and talking outside the woodland.

"You said that you, who are good at home, why did you follow the emperor and General Shen to the East China Sea?" Li Ying's brain hurts.

Li Que leaned against the tree and said, "Naturally, it's for Lord Duan!" ”

Chu Yuan squatted on the tree, watching the excitement.

Duan Baiyue is inexplicable, what does it have to do with me?

"Then the king of the southwest is now a thief, what else are you going to do?" Li Ying was dumbfounded.

"I also admit the thief." Li Que gritted his teeth, "When I was playing in the southwest, I had already been married to him, no matter what you want this time, you will promise to let me go to the East China Sea!" ”

Li Ying's scalp was numb, and he felt that his sister should be crazy: "You say it again? ”

"It's the same if you say it ten times." Li Que said, "Anyway, I must go to the person surnamed Duan this time, do you agree?" ”

Chu Yuan's eyes were unfathomable, he supported his cheeks with one hand, and turned his head to look at the person beside him.

The king of the southwest was confused, and for the first time he knew what it meant to be a disaster from heaven and a disaster without vain.
