The small courtyard where Mr. Lin lives is in the innermost part of the Caiwen Academy, that is, the place closest to the outer wall. Inside the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info there are also three white-walled and blue-tiled houses surrounded by green bamboo. In the middle is a hall house, and on both sides are two small side houses. Entering through the stone archway, the green brick road is covered with moss, leading straight to the front of the hall.

Zhou Sinian saw this bright light, smiled slightly, and said to me softly: "Our old friend has arrived." ”

"Who?" I looked at him in surprise, he seemed to have known that this person was here, it seemed that he said that he would go back to the Caiwen Academy, just to meet this person.

He smiled but didn't answer, and pulled me straight inside, straight to the light, and didn't knock on the door, but pushed the door and walked in.

In the dim light of the oil lamp, it was Wu Xiucheng's face full of spring breeze. When he saw us enter, he happily stood up and saluted.

I looked at him sympathetically: "Master Wuhou can't return to a home." ”

Wu Xiucheng laughed: "It turned out that my master came back too early, so I'm embarrassed to go back and disturb the guests." ”

Zhou Sinian said with a smile: "Xiucheng, this time you are in big trouble, are you really going to marry that old woman?" The emperor has given marriage, you should be careful of the crime of bullying the king. ”

I looked at Wu Xiucheng in surprise, didn't he want to marry Aunt Chaofeng? What does he want to do?

Wu Xiucheng didn't smile, he fell into the memory, and the resentment on his face was slowly gathering. He said faintly: "The sin of deceit? Does it matter? Si Nian, do you remember? Yiwei has been dead for ten years. ”

Yiwei, Yu Yiwei. Wu Xiucheng's wife. I cursed in my heart: "Yiwei, did you die at your hands, or at the hands of the Khitan?" ”

Zhou Sinian patted his arm sympathetically and said heavily: "Xiucheng, I understand your feelings, but the imperial court really doesn't have the strength to destroy the Khitan." This is Brother Ling, who is on the right side, in charge of the household, and knows the foundation of my dynasty best. Fighting with such a Khitan who has no fixed place will drag our dynasty down...... Strong enemies are waiting, Khitan, it would be good to maintain a confrontation like now. Now, the emperor's intention is to maintain such a confrontation, so it is necessary to wipe out the domestic forces that are inclined to Khitan. ”

Wu Xiucheng nodded, his voice was low, with a slight sob: "I understand." Back then, if it weren't for someone in the DPRK and China secretly communicating with the Khitan, how could we have lost so badly? The Du family, in order to fight their political enemies, secretly collaborated with the enemy country, which is really innocent. ”

The fear in my heart is also expanding, did so much happen ten years ago? I've never heard anyone talk about it, and I looked at Zhou Sinian uneasily, hoping that he could explain it to me. Zhou Sinian ignored me and continued to say to Wu Xiucheng: "Not to mention the Du family, looking at the current situation, those towns in the northwest are all waiting and seeing, but I am afraid that once the imperial court can't control the situation, these people will defect."

Now, Shi Wenjin in the northwest is growing up with the support of the Khitan, and the two generals Yanbao and Yang Jiacheng don't know if they can take Shi Wenjin in one fell swoop this time. If you don't beat him, there will be endless troubles. Xiucheng, the emperor asked Brother Ling to write a letter to secretly recall you back at this time, mainly because there were people in the court who collaborated with Zhu Shengjiao and betrayed the country. Cheer up and wipe out all the fanatics hiding in Kyori first, and make the dungeon their burial place. ”

Wu Xiucheng nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Back then, my father-in-law's mechanism skills were comparable to Zhou Ying's, and now, it's up to their heirs to compete." ”

Zhou Sinian nodded and said: "The two organs of the Dragon Guards are in Bancheng Villa, this dungeon, they cracked it back then, Zhou Nan has never seen a dungeon, I dare not say, however, opening the dungeon from Bancheng Villa is much closer than Xiping Houfu." In fact, this channel has already been opened. ”

When Wu Xiucheng heard this, he said excitedly: "Let's go and see it now." ”

Zhou Sinian smiled: "You just came back, don't you need to rest for a night?" It's too late today, and tomorrow the Kabuki in this courtyard, whichever one you like, you can take it away. ”

Wu Xiucheng laughed: "No, that Qianqian last time was very good, thank you princess." There are too many women, and they are also a burden. ”

Zhou Sinian smiled sympathetically and patted Wu Xiucheng's shoulder: "You are much stronger than me, at least there is no tigress staring at ...... beside you"

Before he finished speaking, he had already received a slap on the head, and I laughed and scolded: "Dare to talk nonsense in front of me!" Say I'm a tiger, if I don't make a threat, I'm sorry for you......"

Wu Xiucheng said with a sad face: "Can you two not flirt in front of my widower?" ”

Talking and laughing softly, he quietly walked out of the gate of the Caiwen Academy, and there was no movement in Lin Chenghong's room. I quietly asked Wu Xiucheng, "Did Mr. Lin sleep?" ”

Wu Xiucheng said: "Don't worry, princess, he won't care about these things if he can't sleep or not." It's not strange to see it since I was a child, but I'm tired of it. He is also not a powerful person, Princess Chaofeng liked him so much back then, but he said, I love men, so forget it. ”

"Love men? Does he really love men? I laughed mysteriously and whispered to Wu Xiucheng, "How about sending him to the palace?" Your Majesty, you will like him very much, right? ”

Wu Xiucheng laughed, looked at Zhou Sinian, who was walking in front, and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, you are a dedicated person and a long-term person. But the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless. These things were originally imposed. ”

Zhou Sinian walked in front of him in no hurry, and when he heard Wu Xiucheng's words, his body seemed to shake slightly, but it was also very likely that it was a lantern on the side of the road, and the light shadow flashed after being blown by the wind.

I said unhappily: "Master Hou said he laughed. The emperor has a queen and a concubine, what kind of person Brother Nian is, I know best, these rumors are just talking. There is a saying that rumors stop at the wise, and the Hou Ye is a very popular minister, so spreading rumors will inevitably lose his identity. ”

Wu Xiucheng snorted: "It was a joke, let's be familiar with it, and we have cultivated Meng Lang, the princess is not strange." ”

I smiled and said, "Where am I to blame Hou Ye, Hou Ye also said, let's be familiar with it." Besides, Hou Ye will be Sheng Lan's uncle in the future, and Sheng Lan will respect Hou Ye. ”

Wu Xiucheng shut up, and I stopped talking, and in the quiet night, there was only the footsteps of three people walking. In these years, thieves are often loud, and Wu Xiucheng, who relied on Aunt Chaofeng's aunt to become a marquis, actually laughed at Zhou Sinian, who fought in the bloody rain.

The apricot grove was dark and oppressive, and there was no light. It wasn't until I walked to the wooden house where my father-in-law used to be, that I saw the light faintly coming from underground.

Zhou Sinian was able to check the movements of Xiping Houfu from Bancheng Villa, and it was difficult to guarantee whether the other party would spy on Zhou Mansion from somewhere in Wanyin Mountain.

Enter the dungeon, and inside is a different story. The lights are bright, and the stench of the past is still in my nose even after so many years. Back then, for the sake of the secrecy of the project, the father-in-law killed all the craftsmen in this dungeon, and the stench lasted for a long time, and the soul was angry. (To be continued.) )
