Chapter 9: Dark Arrow Slays the Dragon

Li An thought that the first time he saw Du Hanxing was the night when his master who had suffered a thousand knives asked him to go to Yizhuang to steal the corpse, Du Hanxing was famous for treating people with cold eyes. But he treats himself with a smile, which reminds him of the wise saying: If you want to harm someone, you must first treat him well.

Li An, who had this thought in his heart, felt that it was better to pretend not to know, and then took the opportunity to escape. How could a dignified national teacher be interested in a son who did not enter the stream? If he ran away, he would certainly not chase after him.

Li An squeezed out a smile, but his smile always seemed treacherous, and even the famous flowers in the hook column often teased him because of this, what Li Dagongzi saw that he would be a rich nobleman in the world in the future, and when he asked her the reason, of course he got the answer of 'no treacherous business'. In the end, he punished the girl for drinking, and after being a little drunk, he took the opportunity to touch a few handfuls of people's bodies.

Du Hanxing said: "Your smile is really not serious. ”

Li Anxin said, "Are you serious?" But he still had that treacherous smile on his face, and he shouldn't let Du Hanxing see what he thought.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang like a cannon, and Ang Lee understood that this was today's protagonist, and saw a man in a groom suit coming out of it, although he had a smile on his face, there was disdain and reluctance between his eyebrows.

Li An still didn't hold back his mouth and said to Du Hanxing: "Look at the smile on that kid's face, it's even uglier than crying." ”

Du Hanxing said: "That's natural, this marriage was originally rewarded by the emperor." ”

Li An pretended to be confused and said: "How can the emperor and this Yan Wang Shizi also be cousins, how can the relationship be ......?"

Du Hanxing said: "I don't dare to speculate on the emperor's holy will. ”

Li An rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "Nonsense, you actually said you didn't know." I didn't expect this little white face to be usually very serious, but I didn't expect that he was also a big liar who fooled people. ”

Li An took a closer look at the son, although that guy is not as delicate as the one in front of him, but he can be regarded as the kind that can arouse the admiration of many women, and he is worthy of being born in the emperor's family.

Shizi said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is a big day for the next day, this marriage is the emperor's intention, and it just so happens that I have admired Miss Liu for a long time, and today we will thank the Holy Grace." After speaking, he knelt on the ground, bowed in the direction of the palace and shouted: "Long live my emperor." ”

Everyone knelt on the ground together, and some officials naturally knelt on both knees, but those who came to the rivers and lakes just symbolically knelt on one knee and bowed their heads. Li An originally wanted to stand but was pulled by Du Hanxing and almost collapsed, he said, "Are you a national teacher who needs to kneel?"

Du Hanxing said: "No." ”

"Then what are you kneeling on?"

"I'm not wearing a mask today, they don't know who I am. ”

Li An suddenly realized that Du Hanxing has always looked at people with a mask, and others know very little about his true face, at most he is an emperor, that scary old national teacher, and another himself. There were also some messy people in Yizhuang that night, so there were less than ten of them.

Suddenly, the prince of Yan Wang got up, and those people also stood up and said, "Everyone, this prince is also ordered by the emperor, and it is okay not to ask for jewels but to express his heart." ”

Li An muttered, "Isn't this obviously asking for money?"

Du Hanxing said: "Don't you give money when you go to see happy events?"

Li An shook his head and said, "No." ”

Naturally, no, although he often went to eat other people's wedding wine when he was young, he never took a single piece out of his pocket. There is no other reason, that is, he likes to mix in and eat and drink secretly, and he is embarrassed to say anything when others find out, after all, his father is also an official.

Two young servants wearing red coats and carrying two thin gold plates walked in, and each of them put something inside, including the best Kunlun jade and the bracelet of the Buddha's relics in Jingzhou, all of which were first-class treasures in the world. Not to mention one of them, it is to divide one of the treasures into two, and taking one of them is enough for a solid family to eat for three years and five years.

Li An said: "You don't have any treasures or anything like that?"

Du Hanxing said: "No." ”

Li An said: "That's miserable. ”

Du Hanxing frowned and said with a slight doubt: "What's miserable?"

"Won't you be kicked out if you don't have anything?"

"Don't you have the beads that the Golden Mask Man gave you?"

Li An was a little reluctant and said, "This bead is a treasure of the old country of Western Chu. “

Du Hanxing said: "It's useless if you want this, it's better to give it away." After speaking, he flipped his hand and took out the bead hidden in Du Hanxing's pocket and put it on the plate that happened to serve the boy.

Du Hanxing said: "Nanhui Hong's family." ”

Originally, Li An wanted to take out something from it as compensation, but was stopped by Du Hanxing. Li An glanced at him with resentment, and then stopped paying attention to him, and the idea of running away in his heart was already firmer.

Finally, the banquet was held, although the things on the table were not said to be delicacies from the mountains and seas, but they were also incomparable to the ordinary rich people, and many things came from all over the country, such as the boiled live fish was made by the first-class chef in the palace. The fish swam around in the water, but it was long dead. There is no fishy smell on the body, and with a light touch of bamboo chopsticks, a piece of fish without thorns floats on the soup.

Then there is the raw material of the fresh pastry, the wool lychee, which was shipped from another country and took ten days of fast horses, after a hundred processes to make a dish, which should have been smelly, but now it is fragrant and pleasant, which makes people want to stop.

......

Such a dazzling array of dishes, Li An naturally has never eaten them, like a vicious dog robbing, the delicacies in front of him have long been swept away, sitting opposite him is a scholar dressed like his age, and he can't help but say: "Brother Tai today is the wedding of King Yan, you should chew it slowly......

But before he finished speaking, Du Hanxing glanced at the scholar coldly, then pointed to his head and said, "If you are sick, you don't have to care." ”

In the depths of the darkness, the flame of the green lantern flickered, as if a breeze could blow it out, and the place fell into eternal darkness.

A black shadow in a python robe was hidden in the darkness, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but he vaguely felt that the shadow's bloated figure seemed to be a ball, and he said, "Who has gone today?"

The voice is transparent and powerful, and listening to the voice should be a warrior in the age of not being confused.

The black-clothed subordinate who had just come to report knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Wang Liang, the head of the Wenchen, and the general Zhang Dazhuang,......"

The man waved his hand and said a little annoyed: "That's it, you said who didn't go!"

"In addition to the emperor, there is also a national teacher. ”

"What about the Northern Spirit Kingdom?"

"Only a team of carriages sent by the Queen Mother to transport the congratulatory gifts to the Juling City, as for the Northern Spirit Emperor, who originally wanted to send the blood book, but I don't know who robbed it. and those people who are good friends with the prince have also gone. Those who didn't come offered their treasures. In the old country of Western Chu, there were also some people who were good friends with the prince when they were young, and they also sent a few carts of jewelry, but they were all gold and the like. ”

"It's really getting older and more thieves. The man who was hidden in the darkness snorted coldly, and then his tone softened a few points and said, "Let me guess, the most expensive treasure should be sent by Wang Liang." ”

The subordinate said: "Lord Wang did give a magic weapon, but there are more expensive things. ”

"Oh?" the man in the darkness frowned slightly, which was indeed unexpected.

"What and who sent it?"

"It is said that he is the son of the Nanhui Hong family, and he gave a piece of the night pearl of the old country of Western Chu. ”

The black shadow was stunned for a moment, and his tone suddenly seemed to be out of his control: "You say that he is the night pearl of the East China Sea in the old country of Western Chu?

"Yes......"

Smack-

The fat man hidden in the darkness slapped his palm on the tabletop, and the incomparably hard marble table top immediately fell apart.

The black-clothed subordinates didn't know why their master had such a big temper, and suddenly he felt that his body was light, and when he reacted, he had been held by a strong hand around his neck, and only heard his master whisper in his ear: "Go, return the beads to that person intact, and be respectful to him, and also, go to Mr. Zhu, and invite all those sects that came to congratulate him away." ”

With a wave of his hand, he disappeared with a scream of 'ah' from his black-clothed men.

The man in the dark gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then don't blame Uncle Dang's cruelty.

......

At this time, the East River Kingdom Guotai Palace

The young emperor dressed in a golden dragon robe sat on the dragon chair, opened a brocade box in front of him, looked at the contents of the box, pondered for a long time, and then shook his head. On the side, an old eunuch dressed in green clothes and wearing a black hat said, "Isn't this okay for the emperor?"

The young emperor shook his head and said: "Naturally no, this is a gift from the guy in the old country of Western Chu when he signed the Dingshan River Covenant, there are only ten of these things in the old country of Western Chu, and the old guy already has one, and he directly gave it to his son." I don't want to. ”

The old eunuch said: "The old slave thinks that the emperor should always send something, after all, it is your cousin." ”

"Don't you say that I have forgotten, how can he be counted as the nephew of the former emperor, my cousin, it's just that. After speaking, he took a pair of calligraphy and paintings and said, "This calligraphy and painting should be given to him." ”

The old eunuch was just about to take the painting, when suddenly a man with a bronze mask and bronze armor came straight in, he was dressed in heavy armor, but he walked without a sound. The old eunuch was well-informed, so he naturally knew that this was extraordinary, and he didn't go up to stop him.

Because he knew that this person was the bluebird spy who delivered the news to the emperor. If it were someone else, he would have been chopped into mash by the hidden masters in the palace the moment he entered this Guotai Palace. I saw that the man whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, gave the emperor a note and left, the young emperor opened the note and glanced at it, the corners of his mouth rose upwards and looked very happy, and at this moment he put the painting on the table again.

The old eunuch was puzzled: "Your Majesty, will you send the painting?"

The young emperor said, "I won't send it." ”

Then he stood up and took off a jade pendant from his waist, "Wouldn't it be better to give this?"

The old eunuch was immediately frightened, it was the emperor's portable jade pendant, not to mention holding it, he would cut off his head and break his body if he accidentally touched it. The last father-in-law was because he got this jade pendant to the ground, and the jade pendant was fine, but he was pulled out and hacked to death by the guards, and finally ended up with no bones.

"After you send this to the Mandarin Duck Gate, find a young man from Li An, and say that he forgot it in the bedroom, and he forgot to take the three hundred taels of gold in the bedroom, and tell him to take this as a voucher and take the three hundred taels of gold.

"This jade pendant is not for the prince of Yan?"

The Young Emperor asked rhetorically, "When did I say I was going to give it to him?"

"But the old slave doesn't know what Ang Lee's appearance is......"

"There's a portrait on it," said the young emperor, handing him the secret letter that had just been opened. The old eunuch took the jade pendant and the letter with both hands. Glancing at it, he said, "Yes, the minion will do it immediately." "You have to quit.

"Wait. The young emperor touched his chin and said, "When you see him, call him Gongzi Hong, and the person next to him says to protect his face." ”

The old eunuch naturally couldn't figure out what the emperor meant, although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to think about it, because once he figured it out, it was not far off to meet his former father-in-law.

Seeing the old eunuch go away, the young emperor clapped his hands, and several figures instantly appeared on one knee facing him, and did not speak.

The young emperor stroked the sword in front of his desk and said, "Get ready, I'm going to go to the Qinglian Sword Field to join in the fun." ”

The four black-clothed men said in unison, "Yes." ”

At this time, it was the sixth day of the third month of the 37th year of the Qingli calendar.
