The soft fragrance is in your arms, the jade hand gently holds the wine glass, and hands it to your mouth, and the delicate words make your body crispy.

The men stopped paying attention to the closing of the door.

There were also a few people who were surprised, they pushed away the dancer next to them, got up and took a look at the door. But at this moment, the lights in the entire lobby suddenly went out, and the thick darkness came in an instant.

Darkness brings fear and endless reverie.

Some people took the opportunity to eat the tofu of the dancing girl next to them, and some people got up in a panic and spilled their wine glasses.

"What's going on, what kind of trick is this!"

"Master~" The dancer beside him called him softly.

With just one sound, he fell silent.

Originally, the people who came to spy on Xuanyuan Xian realized that something was wrong.

But as soon as he was about to get up, he found himself weak and weak, and he couldn't help but sit back in his seat.

"Childe, what's wrong with you?" The woman's breath was like an orchid, and the softness was lightly covered on the man's chest.

The man felt that the woman in front of him had turned into two, one on the left and one on the right, and from time to time around him. The man shook his head, cold sweat already soaking from his forehead.

He intuitively felt that he had been poisoned, so he couldn't control his body like this, but he didn't know when he was on the road.

In order to complete the task, he obviously hasn't drunk a sip of their tea and wine since he entered the store, and even if he eats food, he always lets the dancer next to him eat first.

What went wrong?

The man barely raised his eyes and looked at the dancer beside him.

Although the lights were turned off, the night was already dark, but the silver light translucent window lattice sprinkled in the Fangfei Pavilion, and after a short period of darkness. It's not so bad that people can't see the person in front of them clearly.

The woman was smiling lightly, there seemed to be a trace of worry on her face, and in the clear light of the moon, the man looked at the increasingly hazy face of the woman in front of him. finally couldn't support it anymore and passed out on the table.

The man who led the seat wanted to get up when he saw this, but he was also dissuaded by the woman next to him, and it didn't take long. And he was like the man before him.

It wasn't until three or five people fainted that the beautiful sound in the lobby dissipated. The guests didn't care about teasing the dancers, so they got up and shouted, "What's the matter with your Fangfei Pavilion, turn on the lights quickly!" ”

"Yes, open the door!"

"It's unlucky, I'll never come to your place again!"

At this moment, a female voice came out of the lobby: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's incident is sudden, and Meng Ruo hereby apologizes to all the guest officers." ”

As he spoke, the oil lamp was lit again in the lobby of Fang Fei Pavilion.

Meng Ruo is the Oiran of Fangfei Pavilion, and his appearance can be called a captivating city. A smile, gestures, all exude nobility and elegance from the inside out.

Most of the men in Fangfei Pavilion came for Meng Ruo, but they didn't see each other for a long time.

Sometimes, the more you ask for it, the more haunting it is.

The chaotic and noisy lobby was quiet the moment Meng Ruo appeared.

"Meng, Meng Ruo girl?" Someone in the crowd muttered, as if they couldn't believe that they would have such good luck.

Meng Ruo followed the prestige and smiled faintly at him. Then she continued: "Those fainting guests have been staying in Fangfei Pavilion for a long time. He never drank alcohol, but sat in the lobby until the next morning. Our grandmother was worried about our safety, so she asked someone to investigate them. I didn't think about it. I really found out something about my grandmother. They..."Meng Ruo paused slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were filled with tears.

"What's wrong with them?"

"Miss Meng Ruo, don't be sad, if you suffer any loss, sue us. We will surely get justice for you! ”

"Yes", "Yes! The people in the lobby chimed in.

Meng Ruo said softly: "Actually, it's nothing, they didn't do anything to the sisters of Fangfei Pavilion, it's just that their identities are too scary, which makes the sisters panic, so Mama thought of such a method, and I hope you don't be surprised." ”

At this time, the grandmother of Fangfei Pavilion appeared at the right time.

Fangfei Pavilion's grandmother first comforted Meng Ruo with a few words: "Okay, okay, you go back to the room and rest." It's Mama's incompetence that didn't protect you well, and let the thieves target you. ”

After comforting Meng Ruo, Mama turned to the little maid in the lobby and said, "Tie them up, in case they wake up and hurt people, we can't afford to take care of them." ”

……

After Xuanyuan Xian closed the door, he took Xuanyuan Hao to the other end of the room.

It turned out that this house was two-sided. Walking to the other end, Xuanyuan Xian pushed open the door and there was a staircase going down.

Xuanyuan Hao was silent and followed Xuanyuan Xian.

A moss-covered path appeared in front of them. Xuanyuan Xian walked along the moss path in front of him, and soon arrived at a small courtyard.

Pushing open the door, the two walked in.

"The people out there won't come along?"

"Fifth brother, did you find out?"

"Nature." Xuanyuan Hao said.

"They can't keep up, and they've been looking forward to this moment for a long time."

"Are you sure this is the right time?"

Suitable?

Or is it not suitable?

Xuanyuan Xian looked at his fifth brother and said firmly: "Whether it is suitable or not, I don't want to be a coward anymore." Although you can't help the fifth brother much, it obviously won't drag the fifth brother back. ”

Xuanyuan Hao lowered his head and chuckled, patting the Seventh Prince's shoulder: "You have grown up." ”

In the small courtyard, only the two maids selected by Xuanyuan Xian, when they saw the master coming, they bent their knees and bowed, and then walked to the small kitchen to boil water and make tea.

In the middle of the courtyard there is a bamboo round table, and four bamboo benches are placed around the round table.

Xuanyuan Xian led Xuanyuan Hao to sit down, and after a while, the two maids came out of the small kitchen and brought the brewed tea.

The tea was placed on the bamboo round table, and the two maidservants retreated to a small room without saying a word.

"Fifth brother, you taste it," Xuanyuan said a little ostentatiously: "These two people make tea very well, this water is a mountain spring water hundreds of miles away, and this tea is also picked by themselves and stir-fried..."

"Every time you go to Fangfei Pavilion, you will linger. Are they all here to taste tea? Xuanyuan Hao asked with interest. If that were the case, it should have been impressed with his brother.

seemed to see Xuanyuan Hao's approval. The Seventh Prince scratched his head embarrassedly: "It's not all, sometimes I also read..."

"Reading? When you were a child, you didn't like to read the most. ”

At the mention of this stubble, Xuanyuan couldn't help but be depressed. Obviously, when he was a child, he often went in and out with the Five Emperor Brothers. Play together, learn together. But every time he took the exam, he was always a big step behind the five emperor brothers, and he became a child who lowered his IQ in the eyes of Taifu.

"Fifth brother, what you said is not kind, when did you go to play when you were a child. It's not you who take the lead! ”

"Haha~ You kid still remembers."

"Of course I remember, it's you who has the most ghost ideas every time. You can always take me out of the palace to play..."

The two were so immersed in childhood memories that they forgot to talk about business.

In the end, it was Xuanyuan Hao who stopped talking first, and he asked, "Do you know who sent the person who monitored you?" ”

Xuanyuan Xian was silent for a moment, with disdain in his eyes: "Will there be anyone else?" Naturally, it was him. Xianzhen doesn't understand, we grew up together, so many years of brotherhood, why can he be so ruthless! ”

Time has passed, and the Seven Princes still can't figure out why Xuanyuan would give up their brothers for the throne. Ambition, power, status. Are these things really that important?

But no matter whether the Seven Princes want to get through it or not, Xuanyuan Cheng plunged headlong into the torrent of **. Driven by **, I gradually distanced myself from them.

Xuanyuan Hao is not as affectionate as Xuanyuan Xian. To be more precise, Xuanyuan Hao clearly knew that these people were just a shallow trace of his long years after all, so he never let himself devote himself to it.

The last time he watched the people he cared about grow old and die was when he first became a god. At that time, he had a deep heart, and he was not as pure and indifferent as he is now.

But after experiencing the pain of losing someone you care about again and again. He finally understood that this was the way of reincarnation in the world.

Life and death, life and death, and life and life, never end.

Later, he took charge of Red Feather Mountain. Since then, he has not asked about the affairs of the world, and has developed an indifferent temperament.

It wasn't until the appearance of Red Feather that he understood.

Ten thousand years, some people have left, and there are things left. He should not give up the rights he has for fear of losing.

Now. He couldn't figure out why he agreed to the Emperor's conditions back then and entered reincarnation with the sword spirit of the red feather. But at this time, he looked at Xuanyuan Xian in front of him, but he suddenly understood what the Emperor of Heaven meant.

After being a god for too long, do you still remember your original intention of being a man?

Human nature is the real test that the Emperor of Heaven gave him this time.

Xuanyuan Hao took a sip of tea and said to Xuanyuan: "Just like this tea, different cooking techniques, different tea leaves, different water, and even through different people's hands, its taste will be different." Everything in the world is like this, some people are kind, some are upright, some are brave, some are reckless, and of course, there are also people who are selfish and harm others and themselves. At the end of the day, it's just that everyone has their own aspirations. ”

"Everyone has their own ambitions?" The Seventh Prince obviously disagrees with this statement: "For his ambitions, his selfish desires, he has harmed you, the eldest brother, and even the lives of many innocent people." How can this make everyone have their own aspirations!? ”

Xuanyuan Hao raised his head and looked at the Seventh Prince, whose cheeks were flushed with excitement, and finally chuckled.

He did it on purpose, deliberately using the phrase 'everyone has his own ambitions', and he knew that Ea Xian's straightforward nature would definitely refute his words.

It seems that even if there are a few more people in front of him, he is still the stupid younger brother back then.

Xuanyuan Xianrao is stupid, watching Xuanyuan Hao laugh, he also feels that he has been fooled again. He sat back on the bamboo chair with a slightly embarrassed look: "Fifth Emperor Brother! ”

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door.

"Knock, knock, knock", "knock, knock"...

Xuanyuan stood up, his eyes showing joy: "Mama, Meng Ruo, come in." ”

Xuanyuan Xian's voice was about to fall, the door was pushed open, and Meng Ruo and Mama slowly walked towards Xuanyuan Xian.

"How? Done? ”

Meng Ruo nodded, with a smile in his eyes: "Master, it's done." ”

"How do you explain it to the guests? And what about them? ”

"It was said that it was a murder gang wanted by the government, and those people were so frightened that they lost their minds and went home one after another. The old slave locked them in the firewood room in the backyard of Fangfei Pavilion. Master, what do you think should be done? Mama lost the flattery in front of the hall, but turned to a calm and neat demeanor.

Xuanyuan Xian thought for a while and said, "Fifth brother, would you like to go with me to have a look?" ”

Xuanyuan Hao looked up at the thin crescent moon hanging in the air, it was so late if he didn't pay attention, it was estimated that after going back, Qingqing should be angry again.

But since he came, he naturally wanted to make things clear, and Xuanyuan Hao said in a heart: "Let's go." ”

In the small firewood room, there were eight people tied up.

As Xuanyuan Hao expected, it was the people who secretly spied on them when he and Xuanyuan Xian entered the door.

"What are you going to do if you arrest them?"

"Fifth brother, I've inquired clearly. Xuanyuan Cheng regarded their lives as grass at all, and the reason why they listened to Xuanyuan Cheng was because Xuanyuan Cheng fed them poison, and if there was no antidote at the end of the month, they would die of poison.

These people didn't want to stay with Xuanyuan Cheng's subordinates for a long time, and they had to do it only to survive, living a life of licking blood with knives. If they were given a chance to choose again, no one would want to live like this. ”

"So, do you have an antidote?" Xuanyuan Hao asked.

"Of course." Speaking of this, Xuanyuan was overjoyed: "Coincidentally, in order to live up to the name of idleness and not let Xuanyuan become suspicious, I will go out of the capital for a few months every year, wandering outside and wandering around. One year, I went all the way south to Qunan Pass under the jurisdiction of the emperor's uncle, where I became a firm Meng Ruo. Meng Ruo's mother is from Nanling, and she has been learning Gu art with her mother since she was a child. This kind of Cheng dΓΉ's Gu poison is not difficult for her. ”

Xuanyuan Hao followed Xuanyuan Xian's gaze and looked at Meng Ruo.

I saw Meng Ruo's eyebrows lowered, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his face stared at the hem of Xuanyuan Xian's clothes with a shy face.

Xuanyuan Hao took a step forward and asked Meng Ruo: "Can you really solve this Gu poison?" ”

Meng Ruo raised his face to meet Xuanyuan Hao's exploration and distrust, and said without humility: "Meng Ruo has already refined the antidote to this Gu poison. Just wait until the next full moon and you'll see the difference. ”

"Okay." Xuanyuan Xian didn't notice Xuanyuan Hao's distrust of Meng Ruo, he happily said to Meng Ruo and Mama: "Until the next full moon, there are still seventeen days." According to past experience, Xuanyuan Cheng would listen to them report on the matter while distributing the antidote to them. So, before that, no one will come to them. ”

Xuanyuan Hao turned around and said, "Their companions? Have you figured out what to do? ”

Xuanyuan Xian said: "I have found their heads, and he will help us hide this matter." ”

"Their heads?" Xuanyuan Hao frowned: "How can you be sure that he is really helping you?" ”

Xuanyuan Hao's understanding of Xuanyuan Cheng is mostly above the court, although Steward Zhang and Ding Yi have organized an attack on Mingyuan, but their understanding of the interior of Mingyuan is very poor.

Xuanyuan Xian is different, his strength can no longer compete with Xuanyuan in the open, so he can only penetrate bit by bit in the dark.

Fortunately, over the years, he wandered around and made a lot of friends.

Last year, he came back from Jiangnan and met two people in the rivers and lakes who wanted to join the army.

A name is Wei Lian. A name is Qin Cheng.
