In the early morning, a ray of sunshine shone on Xiao Yanzhi's face, and the warm light woke up Xiao Yanzhi in his sleep.

With a slight frown, Xiao Yanzhi raised his hand to cover the light in front of him in a daze, and then slowly opened his eyes.

This opening of his eyes frightened Xiao Yanzhi to sober up in an instant.

Didn't they sleep in the inn last night? How did you wake up and be in the dust?

Looking at the rising sun that emerged from the distant horizon, Xiao Yanyi's face was dazed.

"Awake?" Pei Ze shook the blanket around the two of them, and wrapped Xiao Yanzhi more tightly, "If you don't wake up, I'm going to call you." ”

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Pei Ze, and then realized that he was not kidnapped, but brought here by Pei Ze.

"Where is this?"

Pei Ze looked at the rising sun in the east and said, "A mountain on the side of the Luo River." ”

Xiao Yanzhi also looked at the morning sun, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Pei Ze leaned on Xiao Yanzhi's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, I heard that the people in the inn said that it was beautiful to watch the sunrise here, and I thought that I had never seen it with you, so I brought you over." ”

Pei Ze often watched the sunrise, when he was fighting everywhere, he often couldn't sleep at night, most of the places where they camped were empty, and it was easy to see the sunrise, but he was watching it alone, and he couldn't even appreciate it, because every time he saw the sunrise, all he could think of was the brothers who died the day before and never saw the sunrise again, and the helpless and sad mood lingered.

When I went back to the inn yesterday, I happened to hear someone discussing the sunrise scenery, Pei Ze turned his head to look at Xiao Yanzhi's bright smiling face, and suddenly wanted to watch a beautiful sunrise with Xiao Yanzhi.

His life has changed because of the arrival of Xiao Yanzhi, and the sad morning sun in his memory should also have changed.

Xiao Yanzhi's hand touched Pei Ze's hand in the blanket and held it: "When did you come out?" How long have you been sitting here? ”

"It didn't take long," Pei Ze smiled, "forgot that I could fly?" ”

Every time he performed light skills, Xiao Yanzhi had to say that he was flying, and later found this statement very interesting, so he began to say the same.

didn't feel how cold Pei Ze's hands were, Xiao Yanzhi leaned on Pei Ze's body with confidence.

"Speaking of which, I really haven't seen the sunrise," Xiao Yanzhi smiled lightly and said softly, "When I was still in Jiangnan, I often watched the sunset with Ren'an and them, but I really didn't want to get up early or disturb Ren'an's sleeping time, so I never watched the sunrise." ”

"I've seen it a lot," Pei Ze said softly, "and it was many years ago." ”

Xiao Yanzhi thought carefully about how many years ago it was, and immediately thought that it was before Pei Ze became King Wucheng.

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips, and said in a strange manner: "Watching it with Xu Lishan?" ”

A smile flashed in Pei Ze's eyes, and he deliberately teased Xiao Yandao: "Well, I often watch it with Xu Lishan." ”

Knowing that Pei Ze was teasing him, Xiao Yanzhi still pinched the back of Pei Ze's hand.

Pei Ze's cheeks twitched, and he left a circle of tooth marks on the side of Xiao Yanzhi's neck as if he was retaliating, and then said helplessly: "I often watch the sunrise with the first emperor, why don't you ask?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Pei Ze and teased: "Oh, are you all-old and young?" ”

Pei Ze pinched Xiao Yanzhi's waist again.

Xiao Yanzhi laughed and screamed, and said confidently: "Then what did you do with them to stay together until dawn?" ”

"Discuss, discuss, military, and do business!" He shouldn't have talked to Xiao Yanzhi about this.

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "Tut-tut, there are really a lot of military affairs." How many times have you all watched the sunrise? ”

The corners of Pei Ze's eyes jumped, and he said, "When your leg injury is healed, I will send you to the military department and ask you to see how much military affairs you can have." ”

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head again when he heard this, blinked and looked at Pei Zedao: "The military department is so tired, maybe you have to go to the border for inspection, are you willing to do it?" ”

“…… I'm with you. Pei Ze glared at Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi suddenly sighed, picked up Pei Ze's chin and said, "But I can't help it." Looking at this man's unsmiling face, you can know how much suffering he has suffered in the past half of his life, I am such a gentle person, where am I willing to let this man continue to suffer? ”

"Nonsense." Pei Ze smiled and rolled Xiao Yan's eyes.

Xiao Yanzhi chuckled, thinking that it had been a long time since he had heard the words "nonsense".

When the sun rose completely, Pei Ze carried Xiao Yan down the mountain, Xiao Yanzhi only noticed Kong Qing and Xu Ren, who had been guarding not far away, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw He Yan standing next to the wheelchair.

"How many people are in ambush around?" Xiao Yanzhi asked Pei Ze curiously.

Pei Ze chuckled lightly and said, "You shouldn't use the word ambush." Don't worry about them. ”

Xiao Yanzhi let out a long sigh and said, "Shouldn't you take so many people with you when you go out in the future?" ”

"As soon as Qiē settles down, it will be the same as before." Putting Xiao Yanzhi in a wheelchair, Pei Ze pushed Xiao Yanzhi and walked forward slowly.

Wait a minute, qiē settle down...... Xiao Yanzhi sighed again.

"Where is this going?" Sensing that Pei Ze was not going in the direction of returning to the city, Xiao Yanzhi looked around curiously.

"If you don't go anywhere, just walk by the river."

Walking? Xiao Yanzhi pouted.

That's it, anyway, Pei Ze is by his side, and he can go anywhere.

Looking at the river full of light spots, Xiao Yanzhi casually asked Pei Zedao: "Is your ancestral home also in Jiangnan?" ”

Pei Ze was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said: "It's in Jiangnan, Wenchuan County, Chuzhou." The first emperor served in Hanyang County that year. ”

"Isn't that close?" Xiao Yan tilted his head.

"Naturally, it's close," Pei Ze looked at the river, recalling some things back then, "Otherwise, my father wouldn't have met the first emperor." ”

Xiao Yanzhi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, turned his head and asked Pei Ze curiously, "Then did you see me back then?" I was just born. ”

Hearing this, Pei Ze was also stunned.

Speaking of which, when Xiao Yanzhi was born, he should have moved into Hanyang with his father, and he often went in and out of the mansion of the first emperor, but the newborn Xiao Yanzhi ...... He was completely unimpressed.

"Probably haven't seen it."

"Haven't you seen it?" Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips boringly, "That's right, if you've seen it before, but you still look disgusted when you meet again, then you hate me at the beginning." ”

Pei Ze was speechless: "You really love to hold hate." ”

Xiao Yanzhi looked up at Pei Ze and said with a smile: "No way, I don't know why, I remember the things about you most clearly, I can't forget what you said, what can I do?" ”

Pei Ze raised his hand and pinched Xiao Yanzhi's nose, only to be thrown away by Xiao Yanzhi's head.

After walking for a while, Pei Ze stopped, turned the wheelchair to let Xiao Yanzhi face the water surface of the Luo River, and then Pei Ze sat on the ground next to Xiao Yanzhi casually, tilting his head and pillowing Xiao Yanzhi's arm on the armrest of the wheelchair.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Pei Ze and smiled, then turned to the surface of the water, looking at the sparkling water, enjoying the cool breeze blowing from the river.

"Sure enough, as soon as I got to the river, I wanted to eat fish."

In the past, he used to come to the river for fishing, otherwise he would not be too lazy to run back and forth between the city and the city, but now he thinks of fish when he sees the river and lake.

Pei Ze raised his eyebrows, raised his head and asked Xiao Yanzhi: "Hungry?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said with a light smile: "That's not true, it's just that I want to eat fish as soon as I smell the smell of the river." ”

Pei Ze chuckled, then stood up, moved his muscles, and said, "It's not easy?" Wait here. ”

As he spoke, Pei Ze turned around and walked towards Xu Ren and Kong Qing: "He Yan and Kong Qing stay here to protect the King of Shu, Xu Ren, you come with me." ”

"Huh?" Xu Ren was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiao Yanzhi who was left alone, and then looked at He Yan and Kong Qing, and followed behind Pei Ze with a blank face, "Lord Wang, what are we going to do?" ”

"The King of Shu wants to eat fish." Approaching a small forest not far from the riverbank, Pei Ze tilted his head and picked out a branch that could be used to spear fish.

Xu Ren was stunned again when he heard this: "Lord Wang, are we going to catch fish?" ”

If you want to eat fish, they can go back to the inn to eat, there are many restaurants and restaurants in this place, you can eat anywhere, the identity of the prince is not what it used to be, how can you casually go down to the river to catch it? That's a lot of ***!

"Yes." Nodding, Pei Ze stretched out his hand to Xu Ren, "Give me your knife." ”

Xu Ren looked up at the branch and said, "Let's let my subordinates come down." ”

Pei Ze glanced at Xu Ren and said, "I have only lived in the palace of Wucheng in Chang'an for five or six years, and I can't even cut down a branch." ”

"No...... Subordinates don't mean that. Pei Ze said so, and Xu Ren could only pull out the knife and hand it over.

After cutting off the branch and then cutting it down, Pei Ze returned to Xiao Yanzhi with a sharpened branch. Xu Ren also got the branches in a very short time, and then followed behind Pei Ze.

Placing the branch on Xiao Yanzhi's lap, Pei Ze began to undress.

Xiao Yanzhi fiddled with the branch a few times, then turned his head to look at Pei Ze, and said worriedly: "Don't do it, it's not good if you catch a cold." ”

"I'm not that weak." Throwing all the clothes he took off to Xiao Yanzhi, Pei Ze picked up the branch and strode away, and stepped into the water in a few steps.

Looking at Pei Ze's back in the morning light and the sturdy thighs wrapped in his soaked trouser legs, Xiao Yanzhi whistled, causing Pei Ze to turn his head to look at him.

Xiao Yanzhi calmly said to Pei Ze in a loud voice: "You still look best when you are not wearing clothes." ”

Pei Ze glanced at Xiao Yan and turned back to concentrate on the spearfish.

Xiao Yanzhi propped his head, squinted his eyes and enjoyed the sunshine while admiring the pleasing beauty in front of him.

After looking at it for a while, Xiao Yanzhi turned his head and said to He Yan: "He Yan, accompany me to the woods to pick up some branches that can be used as firewood." ”

Prepare all of these, and when Pei Ze's harpoon comes up, you can bake it directly and eat it.

He Yan frowned and said, "Lord Wang, someone will do this." ”

Xiao Yanzhi had already turned the wheel of the wheelchair by himself and turned in a different direction: "I'm not a wasted person, it's still okay to pick up a branch." ”

He Yan frowned and glanced at Kong Qing, Kong Qing recruited a secret guard to inform Pei Ze in the river, and then accompanied Xiao Yanzhi into the woods with He Yan.

The secret guards in the shadows also divided into a few and followed.

He Yan and Kong Qing are not people who talk much, nor are they people who will take the initiative to chat with others, and the secret guards in the shadows can only hide in the shadows and cannot make a sound, so although it is a woods where several people enter together, no one speaks, and the woods are still very quiet, except for the occasional slight sound when someone steps on a branch, there is no other sound.

Xiao Yanzhi, who was in a good mood, didn't mean to speak, but was pushed around the woods by He Yan, and occasionally picked up the dead branches on the ground when he saw them.

A few people didn't notice that there was an incense burner hidden under a pile of dead leaves somewhere in the woods, and green smoke poured out of the incense burner, and the wind spread as soon as it blew, and it was too late for Kong Qing to be vigilant because of a sense of dizziness.

The first to faint was Xiao Yanzhi, followed by He Yan and Kong Qing, the secret guards were all startled when they saw this, and when they were arranging who would stay to protect Xiao Yanzhi and who would inform Pei Ze, they were unsuspectingly knocked unconscious and planted from the tree one after another.

When everyone fell, Qi Chengcai jumped down from a certain tree, covered his mouth with a wet cloth towel in one hand, and held a glass of water in the other, walked unhurriedly to the place where the incense burner was hidden, kicked off the leaves, and poured the water into the incense burner.

With a snort, the green smoke broke off.

Qi Cheng looked left and right, then walked quickly to Xiao Yanzhi's side, picked up Xiao Yanzhi and ran away.

When he ran away, Qi Chengcai threw away the cloth towel in his hand, and then ran faster with Xiao Yanzhi on his shoulder.

A lot of people is amazing, isn't it? Running around with a group of people every day, wasn't he caught? Hum!

Qi Cheng ran to the top of a cliff with Xiao Yanzhi as fast as he could, where there were already people waiting.

With a shake of his shoulder, Xiao Yanzhi fell to the ground, Qi Cheng looked at the few people wrapped in cloaks in front of him with a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "I brought the people, what about the money?" ”

Hearing this, a person threw a money bag out, and the money bag happened to fall in front of Qi Cheng, making a crisp sound.

Qi Cheng bent down to pick up the money bag, then opened it and looked at it, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's not enough." ”

Several people in cloaks looked at each other, and then one of them spoke, "This is the price that was negotiated before. ”

Qi Cheng took a sip and said angrily: "Just for this little shit of you, how many fucking beatings did Lao Tzu take in the Wucheng Palace?" Do you think that's enough? ”

"Stinky boy, don't you know what to do......"

"Give it to him." The other man spoke, and it was a woman's voice.

The previous person was speechless, and then threw out a money bag.

Qi Cheng chuckled proudly: "It's pretty much the same." ”

Bending down to pick up the second money bag on the ground, Qi Cheng turned around and ran.

If it weren't for the fact that his younger brother was seriously ill and anxious to use the money, he wouldn't have taken this job, even if he worked well, he would have been lucky enough to enter the Wucheng Palace, but fortunately, he was finally confused.

"Go ahead, and get rid of it with his brother." The woman spoke coldly again, and as soon as the words fell, a person chased after Qi Cheng.

After a while, several people standing on the cliff took off the hood of their cloaks, and the only woman among them was Jiang Wan, and it was Jiang Shan who threw the money to Qi Chengcheng.

Looking at Xiao Yanzhi, who was lying unconscious on the ground, Jiang Wan said coldly: "It's been too long." ”

"Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother forgives your sins," Jiang Shan hurriedly bowed his head and clenched his fists, "There are too many guards arranged by His Majesty and King Wucheng, and it is really difficult to succeed without alarming King Wucheng." ”

Jiang Wan sighed: "I didn't think that not only Pei Ze would protect him, but even Shan'er would protect him." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Shan said worriedly: "If this matter is known by His Majesty, I am afraid that the relationship between you and His Majesty will be ......."

"That can't keep him alive," Jiang Wan took a deep breath, his eyes becoming more and more determined, "Although the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, how long has His Majesty been sitting on that dragon chair?" That group of old stubborn people still want the King of Shu to return to the dynasty to govern, and he is not in the King of Shu, isn't Shan'er doing the same thing? They can confidently ask Shan'er to ask the opinion of the King of Shu in the court today to make a decision, will they force Shan'er to abdicate and give Xian to the King of Shu another day? Originally, I wanted to leave him a way to live, as long as he never stepped into Chang'an City again, it would be fine, but it was only to blame him for his high status in the hearts of the courtiers, as long as he was alive, sooner or later there would be something to do! ”

Xiao Yanzhi has indeed made a difference in recent years, but who would have thought that as soon as the first emperor left, the king of Shu, who was once the most impatient in the eyes of the courtiers, became the backbone of the court. Also regent? Are they good children who are three-year-olds and can't govern?!

Although Shan'er decided to let Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi stay away from the court for the time being, so as to give Shan'er a chance to establish his prestige, but if this root cause is not removed, how can the problem be solved?

Shan'er obviously hated Xiao Yanzhi before, but why did she become weak after becoming the emperor?

Just thinking about it, Xiao Yanzhi over there opened his eyes.

When he was a little more sober, Xiao Yanzhi realized that he was lying on the ground, and he opened his eyes when he opened his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a completely different scenery from before, and then turned his eyes to look around, Xiao Yanzhi saw Jiang Wan and Jiang Shan who should not be here.

Xiao Yanzhi sat up, looked around, and then looked at Jiang Wan and said with a smile: "Specially brought me to this place where there is no one, what does Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother want to do?" ”

Jiang Wan also raised a smile and said softly: "What does the King of Shu think this palace is looking for you for?" ”

"En......" Xiao Yanzhi stared at Jiang Wan, and then said, "Probably not to enjoy the beautiful scenery or spend the moon before the moon." ”

"The King of Shu is smart, so he doesn't need Bengong Ming to say it, right?"

Xiao Yanzhi laughed and said: "Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother has also known me for a few years, do you think that I will be obedient?" ”

"Of course Hongu knows." As he spoke, Jiang Wan gave Jiang Shan a look, and Jiang Shan waved to the side, and someone came over.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head and looked at it, and his face turned cold.

Jiang Wan slowly walked to Xiao Chunyue, who was escorted up, and said to Xiao Yanzhi: "This is the sister of the King of Shu, right?" I heard that you are not related to the King of Shu, but you treat her very well, I wonder if it is good enough for you to give up your life for her? ”

Looking at Xiao Chunyue, who was tied up with flowers and stuffed with something in her mouth, Xiao Yanzhi sneered: "When did Xu Lishan become only able to use these despicable methods? ”

As soon as he heard Xiao Yanzhi slander Xu Lishan, Jiang Wan opened his mouth to explain: "Your Majesty doesn't know. ”

Before Jiang Wan's words fell, the person who had gone to chase Qi Cheng before dragged Qi Cheng's body back, threw Qi Cheng out, and the man retreated to the side.

Xiao Chunyue was already crying, but the moment she saw this corpse, her legs became weak, and she cried even more.

But Xiao Yanzhi was stunned when he saw the appearance of the corpse, and then sneered.

Jiang Wan was also frightened, and roared angrily: "Who asked you to bring this corpse back?!" Drop it! Throw it to Hongu! ”

Hearing this, Jiang Shan immediately ran forward, dragged Qi Cheng's body to the edge of the cliff, and threw it down with all his might.

"Qi Cheng was sent to the Wucheng Mansion by Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother?" Xiao Yanzhi hung his head, and his voice sounded very calm.

"Yes," Jiang Wan said frankly, "The defense of the Wucheng Mansion has always been like an iron wall, and even the people of the first emperor can't sneak in, and in order to protect you, the first emperor actually let you live in the Wucheng Palace, and when you were at a loss, you met such a person in Gwangju, and saw that he had good kung fu and had some relationship with King Wucheng, so he let him go to the Wucheng Mansion with a thousand gold rewards, originally just wanted him to pass on the information in the Wucheng Palace, but he didn't want to change suddenly later, but he used him. ”

"Used him?" Xiao Yanzhi raised his head and looked at Jiang Wan, "You were the one who poisoned my father?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi can think of only this one thing that can be used.

"It's not this palace, it's all done by Xu Liqian," Jiang Wan said with a little pride, "As you expected, Xu Liqian's kid is also very bold, after escaping from Chang'an City that night, he sneaked back early the next morning, but with his little trick with Yun Shufei, he must not be able to win against your brother, but such a person should be used or used, so this palace asked Qi Cheng to send all the news he heard to Xu Liqian, and one of the messages was accidentally overheard by Qi Cheng, saying that His Majesty Xià had a heart disease, So he told Xu Liqian about the matter.

You boys are also stupid sometimes, Xu Liqian and Concubine Yun Shufei are the people who accompanied His Majesty into the palace, how could there not be a few loyal servants in the palace? What's so difficult about giving the first emperor a medicine? ”

Xiao Yanzhi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

With Qi Cheng's identity, he couldn't enter the backyard in the Wucheng Palace, but it was no wonder that he was still in the front yard when he talked to Pei Ze about it that day.

Seeing Xiao Yanyi's face was painful, but he no longer spoke, Jiang Wan said again: "This palace specially chose this place for the King of Shu, jumping down from this cliff, it is the place where the Luo River flows most urgently, and if you go down the river, you don't know where it will be washed away, in order to save your sister's life, this palace advises the King of Shu to simply be better." ”

"Save my sister's life?" Xiao Yanzhi sneered, "Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother wants to kill Qi Chengcheng, how can she let my sister go?" In case my sister goes back to complain, no matter how noble the Queen Mother's life is, it can't be saved. ”

Jiang Wan sighed: "This palace has no intention of embarrassing the King of Shu, nor does it want to hurt the innocent, but this palace would rather give up his own life to clear the obstacles for His Majesty!" ”
