As the sun set and the night fell, Ji Xiamo led Jin Wuji and Qin Yan to the first floor of the banquet as scheduled. The first floor is located in the center of the Imperial City, and at night it is not only not cool, but even more lively.

As soon as the three of them stepped into the first floor, a house slave ushered in them, and took Ji Xiamo and the three of them to the seventh floor. Following the house slaves and the servants in the building, Ji Xiamo knew that if he was qualified to climb the fifth floor, he would be taken to a dark grid, and then manually manipulated to rise directly to the floor, which was similar to a modern elevator.

When the three of them reached the seventh floor, they were led to the door of a wing by the house slave, who bowed and respectfully opened his mouth to the closed door. "Lord Wang, Prince Ji, Prince Qin has arrived."

"Wait at the door, call someone in."

"Yes!" The house slave saluted, turned and turned sideways. "Ji Changgongzi, Qin Gongzi, please!"

"It's hard work!" Qin Yan smiled heartily, and pushed the door in with a big grin.

Ji Xiamo followed behind, and when he missed the leading house slave, Ji Xia Mo paused slightly, looked at the house slave who was bowing down and buried his head with a smile, and the bone fan in his hand tapped the palm of his hand, and the clear rhythm made Jin Wuji look sideways slightly.

"Little brother hasn't seen the world, I'm afraid I don't know, this, my brother Jin, the six-rank guard of the emperor the day before yesterday, he is an official, I am the people, and I am above me."

The house slave was slightly stunned, raised his eyes and glanced at Jin Wuji, and quickly lowered his head. Although he didn't know whether Ji Xiamo was happy or angry, he also understood what Ji Xiamo meant, and hurriedly bowed. "The minion has seen Guard Jin."

Ji Xia Mo held the bone fan in the palm of his hand with satisfaction, it was worthy of being on a royal errand, and his brain turned quite fast, but this dog's problem of looking down on people was really unpleasant.

Ji Xiamo shook his head with some pity, and the bone fan in his hand gently tapped the house slave's shoulder twice, and said with a smile. "Look at this face carefully, don't forget it next time. Jin Huwei is a military attaché, and he is especially good at destroying corpses and destroying traces. ”

Ji Xiamo said that, he ignored the white expression of the house slave, and happily entered the wing, Jin Wuji followed behind Ji Xiamo expressionlessly, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

"You stinky temper, catch whoever bullies whom." Seeing Ji Xiamo walking over the screen, Feng Shaojin put down his wine glass and scolded with a smile.

After entering the screen and seeing a room full of people, Ji Xiamo raised his eyebrows slightly. Prince Feng Lingchen, Three Kings Feng Yelan, Six Kings Feng Yufei, Five Kings Feng Shaojin, got! A table of mahjong is all together, and it is really lively.

"Ji Xiamo has seen all the princes." Thinking about it, Ji Xiamo still bowed respectfully according to the rules.

Feng Shaojin stepped forward and pulled the person over, "Okay, no outsiders pretend to be anything, I don't know what virtue you have." ”

Ji Xia Mo smiled, followed the wind Shaojin to the wine table and sat down. "We have a good relationship with the prince, but others can't tolerate it, if someone looks at it and says that we don't know the etiquette, the following offenses, my little head can't stay on my shoulder."

The crown prince Feng Lingchen smiled slightly, and quipped, "Who doesn't know the prime minister's mansion now?" Both civil and military, brilliant, the world's best, deep appreciation of the father. Who would dare to chew their tongues on the side and bump into the moldy head at this moment. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Liao praised, although Xia Mo was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he has no official body, but he is just an ordinary person." Ji Xia Mo fiddled with the dishes in front of him, his posture idle. "Although Xia Mo is a little smart, he knows that he can't be on the stage, and Xia is uninhibited and lazy, where did he become a big deal? If I can stay in peace for two days and not get into trouble outside, my father will be thankful and worship God and Buddha. ”

Ji Xiamo's words seemed to be self-deprecating, but in fact, he made his meaning clear, 'I am at ease and do not want to be confined to the temple'. Those who don't understand should only be happy, and those who can understand are all looking different.

Ji Xiamo knew that the crown prince Feng Lingchen was just joking casually and had no deep meaning, but Ji Xiamo felt that it was better to say some things in advance, so as not to fall into it in the future and not be able to get out.

"Hahaha......" Feng Yufei's laughter dispelled the embarrassment in the air. I didn't expect you to still have self-knowledge, how did this king not find out in the past that the prime minister's chief son was such an interesting person. ”

"Eldest Prince Ji has never entered the palace before, so why have you ever gone to see him." Intentionally putting aside what Ji Xia Mo had just said, Feng Lingchen took Feng Yufei's words with a smile.

"That's just as well. Ay! After the four rounds of the palace the day before yesterday, did Gongsun Yue ever trouble you? If you tell this king, this king will help you find someone to clean him up, and you will be beaten so that even his father will not recognize him. ”

"Sixth brother, be cautious!" Feng Lingchen was helpless.

Qin Yan drank a glass of wine and smiled proudly. "Afraid of what? Wen has Ji Xia Mo, Wu has me Qin Yan, not to mention a Gongsun Yue, even if there are ten or eight, he will have no return. ”

Ji Xiamo took the wine handed by Feng Shaojin, nodded in thanks, and turned to look at Feng Yufei with a smile. "Although Qin Xiaoyan is a little stupid, our IQ can make up for it. I can't do kung fu, but Jin Guard's martial arts are leveraged, and our iron triangle is an iron wall, which can withstand thousands of troops and horses. Ji Xia Mo was intentionally joking, but he forgot the understanding ability of the ancients.

Several people in front of the wine table looked at each other, Feng Yufei looked at Ji Xiamo suspiciously, and couldn't help but ask. "Iron Triangle? What does that mean? ”

Ji Xia Mo was a little stunned, and after looking at the inquiring eyes of the people at the table, he scratched his head, a little distressed and didn't know how to explain. "The iron triangle is a good brother, an iron buddy, the most stable relationship, it seems to ...... That's what it means...... Right? ”

"Nonsense, of course it's a good brother." After a few glasses of wine, Qin Yan was gradually able to let go of his restraints, and patted Ji Xiamo on the shoulder, patting his chest arrogantly. "As the old saying goes, although we were not born in a mother's womb, we have the life of our own brothers. If you have something to say, Ji Xia Mo said, go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, as long as I Qin Yan frowns, it is not a man. ”

Ji Xia Mo glanced at the wine glass in front of Qin Yan and couldn't help laughing. "You treat me like a brother, and I am willing to stick a knife in your ribs and go to the soup and fire."

The two of them drank a glass of wine, looked at each other and smiled, and a thousand words were all in their words. Feng Yufei watched from the side, his heart was hot, and his stomach was full of envy.

Feng Shaojin shook his head and smiled, and raised a full glass of wine. "Ji Xiamo, I have set up a banquet on the first floor to celebrate your achievements after the case of your Pan Mansion is resolved, this glass of wine is pushed around, it's not too late, right?"

"It's not too late." Ji Xiamo raised his glass and looked back at Jin Wuji behind him with a smile. "I just take this opportunity to congratulate Qin Xiaoyan and Jin Huwei on their high ascension."

Jin Wuji met Ji Xiamo's sparkling eyes, reached out and took the wine glass in Ji Xiamo's hand and drank it all, a touch of tenderness flashed in the depths of his dark eyes.

'I am glad that I am not promoted, but that I can be by your side in the future for the rest of my life. ’

After a few glasses of wine, several people at the table were a little drunk, Ji Xiamo leaned on the windowsill, condescendingly looking at the lights of the city, and suddenly felt a little sad in his heart.

The night wind blew away Ji Xiamo's green silk, and Ji Xiamo's eyes gradually became a little hazy, as if he was deeply trapped in the ethereal virtual, and his whole body was fluttering.

The lights of the city were just a candle in Ji Xiamo's sight at this time, as if he could hold it in his hand as long as he stretched out his hand. But Ji Xiamo also understands that this star seems to be weak and small, but in fact, it is turbulent and surging, and it can't be caught, and it will disappear if you don't notice it for a while, and there will be no return.

Ji Xia Mo closed his eyes and smiled, what's wrong with him? How can you be melancholy for no reason. Wine is not intoxicating, this person is a little stupid.

"Ji Xia Mo." Feng Yufei walked to Ji Xiamo's side, laughed and lay on the windowsill, looking at Ji Xiamo with a tentative expression. "What was written in the letter you showed to your father in the palace? Why did my father laugh after he was angry? ”

Ji Xiamo glanced at Feng Yufei, and learned from Feng Yufei to lie on the windowsill, smiling with a wolf grandmother. "Guess?"

"If this king can guess, he will come here and ask you what you are doing! You just sue me, last night because of this, this king didn't sleep all night. Feng Yufei pointed to his face with some grievances. Look, does this king look a lot thinner? ”

Seeing Feng Yufei such a living treasure, Ji Xiamo couldn't help but snort. Feng Yufei was a little unhappy. "What are you laughing at! You should quickly tell the king what is written in the letter, so that the dynasty will not be more and more emaciated when he thinks about it. ”

"This is a secret between me and the emperor, if you want to know, what good things to exchange."

"Good stuff?"

"Sixth brother! Don't fall for him. Feng Shaojin walked over with a wine glass, stretched out his hand and flicked Ji Xiamo's forehead and smiled. He's kidding you! He doesn't have a word of truth in his mouth, don't call him a liar. ”

"Fifth Prince, what you said is really sad." Ji Xia Mo covered his forehead and was a little unhappy.

"I don't know you yet." Feng Shaojin raised his hand and wanted to fight again, Ji Xiamo hurriedly dodged, Feng Shaojin took the wine glass and smiled and occupied Ji Xiamo's feng shui treasure. "Monkey spirit, monkey spirit, you fooled me during the Pan Mansion case, I really don't know?"

Ji Xiamo snorted lightly and looked at Feng Shaojin seriously. "Fifth prince, you can't say that, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for, it's the same as buying something, you can't just talk about money, you have to look at the quality."

Seeing that the more people talked, the more outrageous it became, the three kings Feng Yelan put down his wine glass and got up from his seat. "This wine is almost drunk, I'm afraid I'll get drunk if I drink it again, so let's leave the table today."

"It's fine." Prince Feng Lingchen drank all the wine in the cup and smiled modestly. "It's still early, I heard that the peach blossoms on the shore of Jingyue Lake in the south of the city are blooming, and a lot of talented and beautiful people have gathered tonight to meet friends with poems, so why don't I go and have a good time?"

"This is good! This is good! Feng Shaojin stroked his palms and laughed. Beautiful scenery, accompanied by beautiful women, if there is a pot of wine, wouldn't it be wonderful? ”

Feng Lingchen chuckled, "We originally meant to sober up, you are fine, but you just moved the table." ”

"It's not that you don't know the fifth brother, if there is no wine to accompany him, it is equivalent to taking half his life." Feng Yufei's mischievous jokes made several people laugh.

Looking at the four people who were high-spirited and energetic, Ji Xiamo suddenly saw a little blur in front of him for some reason, as if he had entered a chaotic world.

The snow was flying, but it couldn't hide the bones all over the ground. The fire soared into the sky, burning half the sky. The man whose face could not be seen clearly was covered with his hair scattered and covered in blood, standing in the midst of the fire and laughing up to the sky, and the wanton laughter went straight to the sky, with endless sadness and sorrow.

A slender and powerful hand grabbed Ji Xiamo's shoulder, Ji Xiamo suddenly woke up, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and fell apart, splashing the fragrance of wine all over the ground.

Ji Xia Mo turned his head and bumped into Jin Wuji's worried gaze, looking dazed, as if he was in a different world.

"Ji Xiamo, what's wrong with you?" Qin Yan stepped forward and handed over a piece of silk with some worry.

Ji Xia Mo raised his head to meet the inquiring and concerned eyes of the room, suppressed the restless heartbeat, and showed a reassuring smile. "It's fine, I think I'm a little drunk."

"I didn't expect that the talented and world-beating Ji Changgongzi had such a small amount of wine, just a few glasses of stomach, and he was already drunk and didn't know anyone." Feng Yufei walked to Ji Xiamo's side, put his two hands on Ji Xiamo's shoulders, and squeezed his eyebrows with a sly face.

Knowing that Feng Yufei was just unforgiving, and there was no malice, Ji Xiamo slapped Feng Yufei's hand away and laughed. "Best? The Sixth Prince's Lord really tormented me, if these words are heard by those who are really wise, why don't they form a group to kill me in my house? ”

Feng Yelan glanced at Ji Xiamo and spoke lightly. "The murder case of Rumengge, the massacre of Pan's mansion, the four-game game of the palace, you Ji Xia Mo is a sensation in the capital, famous all over the world."

Catching Feng Yelan's gaze, Ji Xiamo couldn't help but shrink and avoided Feng Yelan uncomfortably. "The third prince laughed, Xia Mo is just a little troublesome, he has a little cleverness, he can't afford it."

"Okay, it's really late if you delay any longer, let's leave the table together." Feng Lingchen got up and smiled gently.

Feng Shaojin tapped Ji Xiamo's forehead and joked with laughter. "Eldest Prince Ji went with me, I don't know how many young ladies' hearts will be lost, but don't snub us."

Knowing that Feng Shaojin was relieving himself, Ji Xiamo was not stupid, so he naturally went down the slope and blinked cutely. "No matter how beautiful the beauty is, how can you reach the prince and the five kings?"

The words were bodicular, and a few people in the room understood the meaning just by being stunned. Feng Yufei covered his stomach and smiled, Feng Lingchen shook his head helplessly, as warm as jade. Feng Shaojin was stunned for a while, and then pretended to be annoyed and angry, and raised his hand in anger. Ji Xiamo turned around and slipped away, chasing and fighting, and the house was full of laughter.

Looking at the laughing men through the faint candle light in the room, the smile in Ji Xiamo's eyes narrowed a little. Thinking back to the scene he saw in a trance just now, Ji Xiamo only felt a slight chill all over his body.

What did you just see?

A warning of the past, or a prophecy of the future that has not yet happened?

Who is the man in the fire?

A remote valley and jungle, a secluded paradise. In the center of the steep mountain wall, on top of a raised broken stone, a monk dressed in a plain white broad robe sat cross-legged, his handsome facial features were peaceful and calm, and he had no desires. The wide robe was blown whirring in the night wind, but this person did not move, as if the whole person was one with the heavens and the earth, and even the storm and the sky could not be shaken.

A white finch chirped in the air and landed on a dead tree on the cliff with its huge wings.

The monk who was sitting quietly suddenly opened his eyes, and in the depths of his dark eyes, a flash of fluorescence flashed, and then he regained his calm.

The monk got up slowly, calmly looking at the endless night, with a faint pity and peace hidden between his solemn brows.

"Master, the evil star that disturbs the world and causes chaos has appeared, how should the disciple deal with it."

"Curse, level the world, and live peacefully." The old voice came from inside a cave.

The monk folded his hands and said a word of mercy, his eyes were slightly closed, and he jumped down from the broken stone, the white finch spread its wings to meet it, and the monk landed firmly on the back of the white sparrow, and rode the white finch to meet the brightest stars in the depths of the night and melted into the night.

"Yes, the disciple will come to the world immediately."

In the plum garden, in the darkness, the originally cool bed suddenly emitted a faint golden light, and a cumbersome and mysterious array loomed.

The puppet's limbs at the foot of the bed moved slightly, and in a moment, the puppet suddenly flew into the air and levitated above the array on the bed. In an instant, the golden light was sheng, shrouding the puppet in it, a pair of glazed black eyes suddenly opened, indifferent without the slightest emotion, as if everything in the world could not enter his eyes, no desire, no desire, no kindness, cold and chilling.

The wind and clouds are changing, fate has moved, and the catastrophe is coming.

Just wait, the one who stirs the storm.
