The guests had good eyesight and saw a pavilion at the foot of the mountain not far away, and the blank space on the pavilion had not yet been named. Under the pavilion sat a stumbling young man, with a cloak behind him floating gently in the evening breeze. Shen Qiushan saw that there were a few people dressed as family members standing next to the pavilion, although they couldn't see their sharp eyes from a distance, but they could also guess that they were personal guards, and guessed in their hearts that this young man must be the king of Jin.

"Aha! His Royal Highness the King of Jin is so Yaxing! Below..."Shen Qiu Yamaben stood in front of the group and walked forward with the guide, and at this time he saw the young man in the pavilion and was about to step forward to say hello. As soon as Fang Cai's words came out, he found that the courtiers around him were slow to step forward, and he was puzzled, and when he looked closely, he found that several officials were shocked, and they looked at him and didn't want to go forward.

"......" Shen Qiushan was hesitating,

"That is not His Royal Highness the King of Jin!" Zheng Gong said in a low voice, stopping him from stepping forward to castrate.

"......" Shen Qiushan was embarrassed and couldn't figure it out, if it weren't for the King of Jin himself, he would be able to stay there so indifferently at a young age, and his status would be extremely noble.

At this time, there was a sound of clattering horses' hooves, and the embarrassment was immediately broken, and when I looked for prestige, I saw a red horse with a silver-gray cloak on the outside of a blue robe. Only then did everyone around him bow their hands, and the shouts of "His Royal Highness the King of Jin" came one after another, and Shen Qiushan realized that the heroic man in front of him was the King of Jin. He also arched his hand to the King of Jin, and was wondering in his heart: Who is in the pavilion?

King Jin dismounted, "Today is the completion of my newly repaired garden, I invited you to come and admire, you are guests, don't be formal!" Then he turned to the housekeeper Wei Fu and explained:

"There are a few elders behind me, and I ordered them to go down, and I will be entertained for a while." Then the king of Jin bowed his hand to the pavilion from afar:

"Let my brother wait here for a long time, and my younger brother will apologize to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Everyone hadn't seen it clearly from a distance, and now they heard King Jin calling his brother, so they were completely confirmed. The pavilion was not big, and there were many inconveniences in the past, so they all saluted to the pavilion from a distance. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

In the pavilion, the prince slowly stood up and walked outside the pavilion, "King Fang Jin said that there is no need to be formal, and I am the same here." After that, he looked at King Jin and said, "Since you said that you want to apologize, you will have to show some sincerity in apology!" If the prince hadn't said this in a mocking tone, the courtiers on the spot might have been scared into a cold sweat.

King Jin also smiled, "Third brother, when you get to the mountain in a while, I will punish you with three glasses of wine to apologize, how about it?" ”

The prince laughed and said no more, and when it was late in the pavilion, everyone was surprised to see the prince's immature face in the last bit of moonlight, and the courtiers were even more worried about the rumors in the world.

In recent years, because there is no real power in hand, the crown prince and the king of Jin are not in the early dynasty. Only the ministers of the second rank and above can see the two of them at the royal banquet of the New Year's Festival, and the rest of the courtiers are rarely able to see the prince they assist in private unless they are planning for their own parties. Counting his age, the prince is almost the age of his establishment, but he looks like a young man in his early twenties, is it really some kind of extraneous technique?

Look at King Jin again, he is the same age as the prince, because he has fallen in love with riding and archery in recent years, his face has been tanned black, and the tail of his eyes has been blown out of deep fine lines by the wind early. Compared with the two, King Jin looks more like his brother.

"Qingguo Gong has arrived!"

"Yasukuni has arrived!"

"Uncle Fourteen Emperors has arrived!"

Everyone looked sideways, originally thinking that today was a private gathering of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, but who knew that this battle was getting bigger and bigger, and in terms of heads, there were more people than the people seen in the court every day. Shen Qiushan said in his heart: This time it is the right time, no matter what the rumors are in Yong'an City, what you see with your own eyes is true, the Duke of Jingguo has been close to the King of Jin this year, and the Duke of Qingguo has always been noncommittal to the two forces, and the fourteenth emperor uncle is the uncle-in-law of the prince, and the three important figures do not know what kind of confrontation they have to have.

The people had already heard the advice of the king of Jin, and took the three nobles and got off the carriage and horse, and the six maids put on the gold silk embroidered satin and cotton cloak that had been prepared in the house for the three of them, and someone next to them brought the prepared brocade cotton cloak and handed it to the guests, and the family members all went out of the house, each carrying a lantern along the path to the mountain to lead the way.

To everyone's surprise, the crown prince and the three elders walked in front, chatting and laughing from time to time, the Duke of Yasukuni rose up and loudly told the interesting stories in the army when he followed the emperor to the frontier to quell the rebellion in his early years, and the fourteenth emperor uncle asked the king of Jin how accurate his archery skills were, thinking about the delicacy of rare birds and beasts in the mountains, and asked the king of Jin to hunt a few wild games to help the wine. When Qing Guogong heard this, he directly scolded the Fourteenth Emperor Uncle for not being old in front of his juniors, and said that Yasukuni Gong was also blowing through the cowhide just now. The crown prince and the king of Jin were playing haha on the side. The five people in front were very happy at will, but they were bitter about the courtiers and giants who followed behind, in their eyes, every joke of the three patriarchs was followed by at least three layers of meaning, and the stars all showed their respective plans for the next step.

Zheng Gong saw that he was worried about the sky, and followed relaxedly. This is the first time he has seen the prince and the king of Jin since he entered the capital, following the two of them, Zheng Gong carefully observed, the prince is half a head taller than the king of Jin, and the king of Jin is much stronger than the prince. The prince is dressed in a dark robe, the king of Jin has not changed into a riding costume, a long body is full of luxury, and his gestures are quite not angry and self-imposing, and the other is heroic and strong, and his hands and feet are decisive and powerful. One of these two is introverted and gloomy, and the other is free and unrestrained. If you really want to compete, with Zheng Gong's current superficial understanding, it can be regarded as equal. After looking at the front of the team for a while, his neck was a little tired, and Zheng Gong looked down the mountain again.

From a distance, he saw Tian Guoguang, the commander of the forbidden army, behind the group, telling the guards around him many times, and at this moment, he mobilized so many janissaries to guard this open suburb, Zheng Gong felt that it was difficult for him.

Fengyan Mountain is not big, the slope is slow, and the group walks without effort, only gags, and they are about to go to the place where King Jin invites everyone. Unexpectedly, at this time, Tian Guoguang under the mountain heard an arrow sound from the direction of the Jin Palace, and everyone on the mountain paid attention to the three elders and the two princes, where could they hear it. In the end, it was still a little farther away, and the arrow finally passed through King Jin's cloak and went straight to the right leg of the Fourteenth Emperor Uncle. Uncle Fourteen: "Ah! He fell down with a thud. The arrow feather was still blowing the cloak of the King of Jin, and for a while the Duke of Qingguo, the prince and the king of Jin were stunned, and the Duke of Jingguo was passing through the battlefield, and he hurriedly shouted, "All lie down and squat on the spot, protect your head and heart!" ”

Because it was early spring, the tall trees on the mountain had not yet grown their full branches, and the dwarf trees had not yet grown leaves, leaving only slender branches, and for the archers in ambush, the people on the mountain path were like human targets in a line. Before the five people could see what was going on, they all squatted down when they heard the order of the Duke of Yasukuni, and the family members dressed as Praetorian Guards around them also surrounded them.

Tian Guoguang, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, immediately ordered the lanterns and candles to be extinguished. Orders were sent to the guards at the foot of the mountain: first, to mobilize people to go up the mountain to protect the people on the mountain, second, to urgently transfer the Praetorian Guards, who had been on leave for a round, to guard the city gate and the palace, and third, to send the deputy commander Qiao Shan to track down the archers. He himself stayed on the mountain to evacuate and escort the officials.

And at this moment on the mountain......

"Oh, who's going to kill me! This... This arrow... Isn't it going to be poisoned? Hey...... In vain my royal bloodline, I didn't serve the society in this life, even if I didn't serve the society, I actually died under this dark arrow, hey, my royal brother, you two must tell the emperor and let him avenge me. Uncle Fourteen cried out so bitterly. Yasukuni dragged him aside, "Old Fourteen, if you cross the poison, crying like this, the poison will accelerate the attack!" When the Fourteenth Emperor Uncle heard this, he immediately stopped shouting.

The second arrow has not been fired for a long time, and the number of people who think that there are not many people, and the commander Tian Guoguang rushed up the mountain with gold sore medicine, and the wounded Janissaries who treated weapons were more disciplined than the imperial doctors. I borrowed the torch to take a closer look at the wound of the Fourteenth Emperor Uncle, and there was no poison, the distance was too far, and the residual strength at the end of the strong crossbow was insufficient, so the arrow did not penetrate the bone. It is estimated that it only hurt the fascia, but it is inevitable to recuperate for more than half a year, and it is okay to suffer a little pain from the flesh and skin, and nothing else.

This night was destined to be full of storms and rains in the city, until many years later, when the commander of the Praetorian Guard recalled it, he also felt that the rivers and mountains changed hands several times after Yong'an City, and it seemed that they were inextricably linked with those people and things that night......
