The taste of Hu food in the Western Regions is very different from that of the Central Plains, however, if it is paired with the best wine of the Central Plains, then the taste of these Hu foods will be extremely delicious and unique.

Shi Qingyi sat in the first-class single room of this Huren restaurant with Wan Wan, eating all kinds of Western Regions style food, tasting fine wine, while casually talking about some of their respective past over the years, although it was late at night, and because it was early spring, the temperature of the weather was low, however, because the carbon brazier had already been placed indoors, the temperature in the room not only did not have any discomfort, but was extremely warm, Shi Qingyi even opened the window directly, so that he could talk to Wan Wan when he could, You can also enjoy the bustling and beautiful nighttime scenery of this area.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've arrived!" Wan Wan behaved elegantly and perfectly into herself, but said to Shi Qingyi: "Over the years, you have hid in the Qin Palace, and you will no longer come out!" ”

"There's no way around it!" But it was Shi Qingyi who replied casually while eating and drinking: "After all, I have a family and three biological children." I want to be carefree like before, but it's impossible! She said, and then looked at Wan Wan: "On the contrary, in the past few years, it has really hurt you!" ”

Wan Wan drank the wine and did not reply, but her face was revealed, indeed, in the past few years, because she has lost the big backer of the Yin Queen, and wishful thinking wants to avenge the evil king for the Yin Queen, and the result is that she has no suspense in the factional struggle of the Yin Sect, so that not only the righteous people of the righteous path in the world want to kill her, the evil king wants to kill her, and even the elders of the Yin Sect want to kill her, and in order to escape the pursuit of these enemies. Needless to say, the life that Wan Wan has lived over the years has been very difficult.

However, so what, a few years later, not only did Wan Wan not die at the hands of these enemies. On the contrary, because of the tempering of this difficult time, her heart has become stronger and stronger, so that when she faces any danger, she can be more calm and calm.

I heard Wan Wan's voice sound: "At the beginning, when I heard that Shizun was killed by the evil king, I was so determined to awaken and resolve to kill the evil king and avenge Shizun. But now, when I found out that my master was not dead, my once unforgettable hatred naturally no longer existed! Wan Wan said: "So now, I can't figure out whether I am grateful to you more or hate you more in my heart!" ”

"Then cancel the two out. Isn't it good? Shi Qingyi said: "After all, I have a reason why I have to do this. And although you have been angry for so long, after all, in the end, it was I who brought this surprise to you, so don't blame me for this matter. All right? ”

When Shi Qingyi said this, of course he wanted to be able to hear Wan Wan say "yes". However, when her words fell, Wan Wan did not answer immediately, and Wan Wan was still drinking slowly. Then, it wasn't until an empty wine jar was set up in front of her that she raised her head and looked at Shi Qingyi with burning eyes.

"Although the past has passed, but since it has happened, why do you have to let me forget it, of course, compared to what has happened, what is now and what will be faced in the future is much more important! For example, you! I saw the corners of Wan Wan's mouth slightly curled, and said: "Your life is indeed very peaceful now, but this hypocritical and peaceful life, it will not be able to continue anymore, seeing that the building is about to fall, Shi Qingyi, what will you do now?" In her words, Wan Wan unabashedly pointed out the crisis that Shi Qingyi was about to face at this time, however, when Shi Qingyi heard Wan Wan's question, she just continued to eat and drink indifferently, and then after a long time, she raised her head, and then, with a complicated smile.

"The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, how can you let Li Shimin choose him, and I, as his wife, will never force him to make any decisions, because I am afraid that when I wait for the future, he will be angry with me because of this!" Shi Qingyi smiled and said, "So, just like that, leave everything to Li Shimin to decide!" If he really decided to bear all the grievances for his father and brother and never resist, then I would naturally rely on her completely. But of course, I'm going to protect my children! Shi Qingyi said.

"Then after Li Shimin was killed by his father and brother, your father Evil King Shi Zhixuan will take advantage of the situation to replace the Tang Dynasty, and at that time, because the evil king only has you and Qingxuan's two daughters, your children will still be the inheritors of this empire, what a good calculation, now you are invincible!" Wan Wan said sharply.

"Is this really the most perfect situation from a purely profit point of view? Hehe! Shi Qingyi said with a smile: "Because at that time, I will only lose a husband who is not so useful, but I am about to get this entire dynasty!" The supreme position, the right to take away life and death, and the wealth of the whole world, hehe, as long as I take advantage of the opportunity of the evil king to conspire to kill him in the next confrontation with Cihang Jingzhai......! Shi Qingyi said proudly: "Wanwan, you say, is this the best opportunity?" ”

If you want to achieve the success of your dreams, first, you dare to think about it, and second, whether you dare to do it, no matter what Shi Qingyi will do in the future, there is no doubt that her thoughts at this time are the merciless embodiment of Momen's egoism.

"Listen to what you say, I'm a little afraid of you now, because if you really do that, then your children are in your way, and you won't hesitate to kill them!" Wan Wan said: "Now I know why you geniuses of the Demon Gate who have good brains, good martial arts, and a lot of knowledge

They are all going to rebel against the Demon Gate one by one, think about it, although the Demon Gate has been inherited for thousands of years, and there is no lack of essence of thought, but such a calculation of interests without humanity and naked interests is indeed against human nature. As a result, those who end up in the demon gate will either be willing to degenerate and indulge in pleasure, or their human nature will be distorted and become cruel and cunning. Many people have even gone crazy because of this, because they have long lost sight of any hope! Hehe, the Demon Gate Inheritance, which has always been guided by the idea of the foolish people who rebelled against the righteous path of the world, but its own personnel within it have fallen into despair, which is really a huge irony! ”

Wan Wan looked at Shi Qingyi: "Then, no matter what you plan to do in the future, at least before Li Shimin dies." You're not going to do anything again, are you? However, her words only caused Shi Qingyi's laughter: "Do you really think that Li Shimin will wait for death like this?" ”

Shi Qingyi said with some amusement: "Although his feelings at this time have indeed been extremely low, and he is really planning to be arrested, but ah, his upright character, although he will not even be afraid of death, but he really can't bear any mental humiliation, if the prince is witty and decisive." It's just enough to be able to suddenly launch a move to get rid of him now, but. They were so hesitant, because they were afraid of King Qin's counterattack. It was also the hesitation of Tang Emperor Li Yuan, so they actually chose to use a blunt knife to slowly cut the flesh from King Qin's body, hehe, and they didn't see what kind of person Li Shimin was. Such a bullying to him, he will definitely rise up and resist, but as for what kind of consequences will it cause at that time, and what kind of impact it will have on the Tang Dynasty at that time, that. It's not for me to guess! ”

Everyone in the world said that King Qin had a straightforward personality and couldn't bear the grievances, but even so, his enemies still used the most unbearable means for King Qin to deal with him, such a result, which had predicted the outcome from the beginning, however, they were still so unscrupulous and did not have the slightest reflection, could it be that those of his enemies were really stupid, crazy, or blind?

"So now, do you still think that during this period of time, the entire Chang'an City will really be completely safe?" Shi Qingyi looked at Wanwan's pretty face and asked.

"I don't know about this, but I know that when Li Shimin makes up his mind, it's time for you Shi Qingyi to abandon this false life!" Faced with Shi Qingyi's question, Wan Wan replied like this.

Even if she lives in the rivers and lakes and doesn't ask about the affairs of the court, but under Shi Qingyi's point, Wan Wan immediately understood the truth of the power struggle in the court at this time, that is, not only the prince, the king of Qin, and the king of Qi are fighting for power and profit, even in secret, in addition to the evil king, there are also many unknown people who are planning for themselves, and these people are planning in secret, naturally hoping that they can become the final winner, however, in any case, there is only one person who is the final winnerTherefore, they can only compete with each other, and secretly pull each other's hind legs, so that at this time, although it seems to be clear, in fact, it is you and me, I have him, chaos, and full of all kinds of dangers.

And in this invisible battlefield, there will be someone who will be able to achieve the final victory, he may not be the most powerful, nor the wisest, more likely not the earliest layout, not the most forbearant one, but in any case, because of the final victory, it will eventually be crowned king!!

The room where Shi Qingyi and Wan Wan are located is located on the top floor of this restaurant, through the open window, you can enjoy the scenery of the nearby Yong'an Canal, although it is late at night, however, the prosperous commercial area here is sleepless all night, through the window, Shi Qingyi can still see those people who are active in the dim light and shadow under those dazzling lights, among these people are still selling goods to pedestrians, there are still busy guys in major shops and restaurants, and laughing dust women, And those who are enjoying the place are many of the prodigal children of high-ranking officials and families who spend a lot of money, as well as the maids and servants they follow.

Such a scene, it is really difficult for Shi Qingyi to recall that just ten years ago, when Tang Emperor Li Yuan led a large army to attack Chang'an City, because the defenders of Chang'an City resisted hard, so that the walls of Chang'an City were covered with corpses, and blood stained all the city walls red, however, in just ten years, people seem to have forgotten such a tragic time, Chang'an City once again restored its former prosperity, and the people who begged for a life here also invariably put their minds together, Immerse yourself in this bustling city.

It is said that the most tenacious life in the world is the mouse, because in a catastrophe that spread to a range of dozens of kilometers and had no grass growing for 20 years, the mice were the first to appear there to live, and successfully reproduced offspring, but now in Shi Qingyi's eyes, human beings themselves, but this is not the case, even after the war, even if the home has been devastated and turned into ruins, they can still quickly repair their own wounds, and then on the ruins, rebuild their homes, And then it multiplies from generation to generation. Perhaps, human beings are actually the most tenacious life in the world!

Unconsciously, the sky has dawned, although Shi Qingyi and Wan Wan have almost drunk all night's wine, but after all, both of them are already the top martial artists in the world, under the natural effect of innate true qi, the two of them do not say that they are not poisonous, but at least they are not drunk in a thousand cups, Wan Wan said goodbye to Shi Qingyi at this time, and left alone, and Shi Qingyi continued to sit by the window, looking outside, at this time, the bustling commercial streets in this area were once again full of all kinds of people, After a night's rest, these people finally got up at this time, took over from those who had been busy all night, and continued to work hard for their own livelihood and the prosperity of the city. And it is these people who are busy day and night who gather together to form a qiē in Chang'an City at this time......

"Wherever there is happiness, there are already people guarding it, either benevolent monarchs or tyrannical kings!" (To be continued......)

PS: ps: One of China's top ten famous paintings, "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", is a rare treasure in the history of Chinese painting because of its rich content and vivid display of the life of people from all walks of life in ancient China.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the residents living in the capital city of Bianjing City lived in great poverty, and it was recorded in the "Tomb System of the Chinese Dynasties" that whenever a poor person passed away, because there was no money for burial, they had to invite the monks in the temple to cremate the corpse, and then pour the ashes into the Bianliang River and wash away along the river. Therefore, the extreme prosperity of Buddhism at that time had a great deal to do with the poverty of the people.

The land of poverty and the land of wealth can be said to be a true portrayal of the gap between the rich and the poor in society at that time.

At that time, there were more than a million residents living in Bianjing City, most of whom were landless peasants who had lost their land due to land annexation, and had to enter Bianliang City in order to survive, and lived by being hired to work. Of course, among these people, there are also some rural scoundrels and ruffians in the army. The huge impoverished masses of the people, while forming the cornerstone of Tokyo's Bianliang City, also caused the same social hidden dangers, and the Northern Song Dynasty government has always been extremely strict in its policy of dealing with these poor people, and in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the class antagonism and contradictions in society were already extremely acute. However, due to the invasion of foreign Jurchens at this time, all the social problems of this period were covered up.
