"Li Shimin? What did he want to do here? ”

Zhou Ning looked out of the door, and the sound of a dog barking came from a distance, and in the middle of his vision, a carriage with the logo of Li Valve drove over. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Ning looked at these, then took a sip of tea, and footsteps sounded. Li Shimin was wearing a gray cloth coat, and he was walking towards him in a hurry, his steps were light and powerful, and he had a momentum of compelling.

"Maybe this is the emperor's appearance?" When this thought flashed in his heart, Zhou Ning collected his thoughts, and after bowing his hand according to the number of courtesies, he said in a deep voice: "Brother Shimin, please take a seat." “

Li Shimin smiled, glanced at Kou Xu and the others, sat down at the table, and said with a faint smile: "This is not the place to talk, can Zhongdao go to the car to talk in detail?" ”

"It's fine." Zhou Ning raised his eyes and went out with Li Shimin, but Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were sitting there, were a little uneasy.

Outside the Chongwen Building, walk up to the carriage. Li Shimin said with a smile: "Zhongdao, please take a seat." "Go until you sit down on the right.

In ancient times, in social situations, the seat was honored by the left. Because the ancients sat in the north and faced the south, the left was east and the right was west, so the left was respected. Li Shimin's move is undoubtedly an extremely polite move.

"Brother Shimin is too polite."

"Hmm." Li Shimin waved his hand, "Does Zhongdao drink?" “

"It doesn't hurt to drink a little." Zhou Ning met his sharp eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate anyone's inner secrets, and said lightly.

Li Shimin took out a crystal clear wine bottle from the gorgeous platform on the carriage: "This is the famous Sanle pulp in Chang'an, Zhongdao can taste it." ”

Li Shimin first added wine to Zhou Ning, then poured his own glass, and sighed: "I haven't drunk like this with someone for a long time." ”

Then he raised his glass and smiled: "This cup is to honor our friends." ”

Zhou Ning raised his wine glass and touched a glass with Li Shimin, and drank it all. staring at the wine glass, he stretched out his finger and flicked it on the edge of the glass, making a clear sound, and said slowly: "Brother Shimin came to me this time, I'm afraid it's not as simple as coming to talk about the past?" ”

Li Shimin smiled slightly, put down the wine glass, and said softly: "That's right, Li is here, first to talk about his friends, and then to ask Zhongdao a few questions." ”

After a pause, he said again: "Zhongdao's internal strength is much stronger, just now your eyes are lit up like starlight flashing in the night sky, this is the realm of 'heaven and man sympathy' in the innate true qi, which Taoists call 'virtual room electricity'." My Li family is as good as a cloud, and I have also encountered many masters, but there are no more than five ...... who can show golden light in their eyes."

Electricity in a virtual room? Zhou Ning remembered that he had also seen this statement in the longevity formula, and said lightly: "Brother Shimin has won the award." This is due to my practice, not really my kung fu to this level. The two chatted a few more words about kung fu, and then got back to business: "Brother Shimin, can you talk about your intentions first?" ”

Li Shimin glanced at Zhou Ning and said, "I came this time because I was entrusted by the master fairy to ask for the Heshi Bi in Brother Zhou's hands. ”

And so it was.

Zhou Ning shook his head and said, "If Brother Shimin is only here to talk about He's Bi, then I'm afraid I'll have to say sorry......." ”

Li Shimin raised his glass and drank it all, wiped the wine stains on his mouth with his sleeve, and then interjected: "Ming people don't say dark words, heaven and earth can be learned, I, Li Shimin, have no covetousness for He's Bi, it's just that He's Bi is related to the general trend of the world and is very important." Although Nakado is secretive, it still reveals a lot of flaws......"

Zhou Ning said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, I didn't lie to you, He's Bi is not in our hands. As for Brother Li knowing my flaws, how to do it, I can only do it. ”

Li Shimin looked at Zhou Ning and said sincerely, "Brother Zhou, why should I be too vigilant, I am not a person who is used to betraying my friends. I still hide your flaws in my heart, and I didn't tell my concubine. Besides, I, Li Shimin, am at most just a pioneer general who fights the world for my father and brother, and He's Bi is of no use to me, just worrying about you. ”

Zhou Ning glanced at Li Shimin up and down, and couldn't judge whether what he said was true for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The pearl is dusty for a while, but the day the dust is washed away, it is the time of radiance. “

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and then shook his head again: "That's just a mirror." Getting back to the point, the public to the public, the private to the private, and the family is related to the world, and it will not benefit you if you get it. No one dares to ask for even if you give it away, so why is this? If Brother Zhou is willing to hand over He's Bi, I can guarantee that the Jingnian Monastery will never pursue it. ”

Li Shimin deserves to be Li Shimin, and his words were clever, Zhou Ning screamed in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "If Brother Shimin really didn't covet He's Bi, he wouldn't be so aggressive." ”

Li Shimin sighed slightly, looked at him carefully for a while, shook his head and sighed: "Zhongdao still think about it again, if you can return He's Bi before tonight, we are still friends and brothers." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Ning's heart was so confused that he didn't know what to say for a while. Through the curtains, Zhou Ning saw the worried eyes of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and knew that he had to explain this time, so he untied the snake knife from his waist and put it on several cases, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid...... can only disappoint Brother Shimin. ”

At this time, a few children outside were playing and playing, chasing each other, and singing nursery rhymes: "The sun and the moon shine on the dragon boat, Huainan flows against the current, sweeps away the poplar flowers, and the Son of Heaven has no head......

Hearing this nursery rhyme, Li Shimin's face suddenly changed, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhou Ning, just in time to meet his thoughtful gaze.

Zhou Ning said lightly: "Brother Shimin is not entangled with me about the affairs of Hebi, it is better to go back and prepare for the army, if this nursery rhyme falls into the ears of the emperor, I am afraid it will not be so simple." ”

"Don't bother Brother Zhou." Immediately, the carriage quieted down, and Li Shimin's words seemed calm, even indifferent: "Since this is the case, Brother Zhou, then Li will leave first." ”

"Well, I'm not far away." Zhou Ning got out of the carriage and watched Li Shimin walk away, his heart was cold. Although he didn't know if he was friends with Li Shimin before, he clearly knew that from this moment on, he and Li Shimin had become enemies.

…………

Back at the inn, Kou Xu and the others saw that Zhou Ning was not in a high mood, so they hurriedly asked. Zhou Ning repeated what had just happened, and Xu Ziling sighed: "The eldest brother never said half a lie to him from beginning to end, so the blame can only be blamed on the different positions of the two sides." ”

Zhou Ning nodded silently, then cheered up, looked at the sky outside, the time was close to noon, under the sky, the blue sky was like washing: "It's almost time, let's go to Lixingfang for a while?" ”

Zhou Ning proposed this, Kou Xu and the others naturally would not object, so they also nodded, picked up the steamed buns on the table and bit them while going out with him.

All the way out of Chongwen Building, outside is the relatively lively Heavenly Street, there are all kinds of shops on both sides, perhaps because of Yang Guang's extravagant habits, the shops on both sides of the Heavenly Street have been deliberately decorated, the eaves are the same, and the curtains are set up, full of treasures and utensils, all kinds of goods.

The Sui and Tang dynasties were particularly popular, the folk customs were extremely open, and there were many young and beautiful girls among the sellers in the shops on both sides, which was extremely difficult to imagine in several dynasties in later generations.

At midnight, some cart stalls were set up outside. There are many pedestrians on the street, which makes people marvel at the prosperity of the Eastern Capital.

At this time, it had just rained heavily, and there was still a lot of water on the road. At this time, the quality of the shoes waterproof was also poor, Kou Xu and the others walked a little slowly, and Zhou Ning's footsteps seemed to be much faster than them.

At this time, there are some roadside snacks on both sides of the road, and there are also various small objects that people play with, and the three of them talk and laugh, walk and see, while pointing at some things of interest on both sides of the road, and sometimes stop to watch, and make detailed evaluation and research.

But judging by their expressions, no one could have imagined that they were racking their brains to deal with an enemy who was disproportionately strong.

A fragrant breeze passed through their noses, and Kou Zhong smiled at a graceful beauty who walked past them, and said with a smile: "Luoyang is really a good place, there are beautiful women everywhere - how?" ”

The last two words were to lower the voice, close the luck, and then send it into the ears of Zhou Ning and Xu Ziling.

"The sun and the moon shine on the dragon boat, Huainan flows against the current, sweeps away the poplar flowers, and the Son of Heaven has no head......"

A group of children sang nursery rhymes and chased past, Xu Ziling dodged away, and said softly: "At least nine waves of enemies are following us, they are disguised as all kinds of people, etc., constantly changing, so as not to arouse our suspicion." ”

Zhou Ning said in a deep voice: "Xiaoling's spiritual sense is really extraordinary, I can only detect that there are eight groups of people, and the one behind the side is vaguely the internal strength of the Buddhist family, which should be from the Sangwang Temple; The group of sneaky people in the east pretending to be shopping should be from the Luoyang Gang. The woman who bought gouache at the shop on the right is extremely secretive, and most of them are Yin Kui pie......"

Xu Ziling's eyes quickly glanced at the pedestrian like a carp across the street, and said with a light smile: "The eldest brother also said that there was a person, and that person has been tiptoeing behind him twenty feet away, and it seems to be a woman." Are we going to get rid of them? ”

Zhou Ning felt it for a while, nodded and said, "Sure enough." Leave them alone. ”

Jinji Fang is separated from Lixing Fang Fengdu, and there are two square markets in the distance. Among them, Fengdu occupies two squares in the name of one square. It is the largest city in the eastern capital, and there are many food stalls and stalls in the market, and the crowds are surging, and it is extremely noisy.

Zhou Ning bought a few buns from the stall next to him, handed one to each of them, and said "Where is it more lively in front", and chose a direction to continue walking.

The street market in front is even more lively, with rows of streets on one side and Luoshui sailing on the other

In the blink of an eye, they had walked out of the north gate of the market, and not far in front of them was the Lixingfang.
