In the small pavilion in the center of Nanhu Villa Lake, Lin Xiao ate happily, the roast meat was thick and salty, the pastries were delicate and soft, and a few dishes of cold dishes were even more refreshing and appetizing.

"I!" This scared Lin Xiao into a tremble, sat on the stone chair and ejected and jumped, looked back, and saw a strong man with broad shoulders and thick limbs, a thick cotton coat all over his body, a brown leather armor on his upper body, thick boots under his feet, a huge round cake face with a yellow and black hair, as if he had not washed his face, as if he was stained with mud, his facial features were rough, his long messy hair was combed with two braids, but the top of his head was shaved a Mediterranean, bare.

"Why don't you even walk?"

Listening to Lin Xiao's question, the strong man smiled, looked up and down the pavilion, and a wisp of white aura was born in his right hand, and he leaned down through the ground of the pavilion, and said happily: "It seems that Brother Zhao is very well prepared." ”

Thinking in his heart, Lin Xiao also drew a scoop according to the gourd, learned to use the aura to explore, and suddenly realized that he had a stunning sound under the pavilion, and then asked: "Are you?"

"In the lower Jerrykin. ”

“...... I don't know. ”

“...... The second prince of the Northern Treaty Kingdom. ”

“...... I don't know either. ”

“...... All right. Yelujin was a little embarrassed, "But I know you, Lin Xiao, the new poet of the Southern Kingdom, right?"

"Hey, hey. Lin Xiao wiped the side of his mouth with his right hand, then wiped it on the wooden pillar on the side, and then rubbed his hands together, "Hello, look up for a long time." ”

"You didn't say you didn't know me?"

"Polite reciprocation......"

Yelujin listened to it: "It's also a real person, it's rare." Speaking of this, Yelujin changed his words again and said only two words: "But." ”

Lin Xiao looked at him and listened carefully.

Yelujin also looked at Lin Xiao and waited.

Lin Xiao was stunned, "What's wrong?"

"It stands to reason that you should take one sentence but whatever, and we'll continue this conversation. ”

"Well, that makes sense, but how. ”

"......," Yelujin's head was a little dizzy, "but in your masterpiece, it is really biased to rate my Emperor Qiwu of Northern Qi as 'slightly losing literary talent'." ”

Lin Xiao continued to look at him and listened carefully.

"You...... Forget it, don't talk about it, I'm dizzy. ”

While speaking, Zhao Meng had already appeared at the entrance of the courtyard of the Nanhu Villa, and walked towards the pavilion, Lin Xiao saw it and quickly got up and stood respectfully.

After Zhao Meng came to Huxin Pavilion, he did not have the emperor's shelf, and called Lin Xiao the emperor's brother, and even Yelujin was called a brother of the opposite sex. After eating a banquet, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little more thoughtful, but the emperor's brother Zhao Meng set up a family banquet but invited the two princes of Beiqi, and called him Brother Yelu, and there was no politeness in the officialdom when talking, so it seems that the relationship between the two is a bit unusual.

After a full meal, Zhao Meng asked Cai Zhonglian, who was waiting on the side, to remove the dinner plate, and said to Lin Xiaoyi abruptly:

"Brother Huang, I have just read your poem again, and there is a question that I have not understood for a long time. ”

"Your Majesty, you said. Lin Xiao responded cautiously, the situation is not right today, and he will save his life when he should save his life.

"In your opinion, the Qiang Emperor Qiwu Yunzong Yue Zu, the loss of literature is not coquettish, the Great Yuan Bow Shengfeng is broken, and he only knows how to bend the bow to call the eagle, but this last sentence, 'All the past, count the romantic characters, but also look at the present dynasty. 'Then according to what the imperial brother sees, who is a hero today?'

Lin Xiao muttered inwardly, his eyes looked at Zhao Meng and Yelujin, and he saw that both of them were looking at him longingly, and the corners of his mouth showed a subtle evil smile, so chic and handsome, handsome over the "Heshen professional" Wang Gang:

"If we talk about heroes, you are the emperor, you are the number one hero in the world, and the people of the North are rich and strong, and there was Emperor Qiwu who was both civil and military in ancient times, and now there is Brother Yelu who cares about the people of Li, if you talk about heroes, Brother Yelu is the second greatest hero in the world. If the hero cherishes the hero, the two heroes will work together, and they will surely clear the world and create the world together. ”

As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, he hurriedly looked at the eyes of the two, sometimes the sycophants were shot in the wrong place, and they would lose their heads.

I saw Zhao Meng and Yelujin looking at each other and smiling, and Yelujin even clapped his hands and praised: "Although Lin Xiao's little brother doesn't understand interpersonal communication and is too honest, he has both literary talent and an understanding of the overall situation, which is commendable." ”

Zhao Meng smiled happily: "But Brother Huang, if you talk about heroes, you have one less one." ”

(Tiezi, you're not hinting at me, pulling me on the thief ship, right?) Lin Xiao muttered in her heart, pretending to be confused: "The emperor gives advice." ”

"Your father Lin Dong. ”

(There's nothing wrong with it, don't count me into it, according to the teaching of the third sister yesterday, everything in the court is dominated by my father, and I can't rush to wade into this troubled water.) "Yes, yes, the emperor is right. ”

"But my uncle is old, and I still rely on you in the future. ”

(???) Lin Xiao was shocked, what kind of medicine is sold in this little emperor's brother's gourd, he won't want to let himself die for him after one or two meals, I'm still a child:

"The emperor has an overreputation, my Lin Xiao can't cultivate, and there will only be one poem, I really can't call this hero, and I can't compare to you and Brother Yelu. ”

Zhao Meng waved his hand, with a serious face: "If you can't cultivate, you can learn, besides, the battlefield war, relying on strategizing and winning a thousand miles, after your uncle retires in the future, the Lin family's 50,000 border guards should be your successor." And the royal brother is only eighteen years old, and he won the poetry championship with a shocking poem, if the imperial brother can't be called a hero, then I naturally can't be called a hero, according to this, the imperial brother called me a hero, isn't it to deceive me?"

(?????? Tiezi, you will shoot the sycophants, and finally come to the general's dead move, it seems that if you don't pull me on the thief ship today, you won't stop, but although my Lin Xiao's grades are not good, people are not stupid, you iron wolf is about to be thrown out of the palace, and you want to blow up the three wolves?)

Lin Xiao thought of this, but found that the wolf could not step on the wolf, according to the analysis of the poetry meeting the day before yesterday, in the face of the encroachment of the Dongyin Zhong family on the southern country, the Lin family and Zhao Meng are grasshoppers on a rope, one is prosperous, one is lost, once the Zhao dynasty is destroyed and cut off in Zhao Meng, his own family will have no chance of winning, and may even bear the brunt of the victim.

Lin Xiao came to his senses in an instant, and shook his hands: "The emperor is sage, a word wakes up the people in the dream, the generals are not brave, and the young are not in the text, I, Lin Xiao, as a courtier in the south, should be ambitious and serve the motherland, and should not be ashamed of myself and be clichéd, according to the emperor's will, I ...... Should you be considered a hero?"

Zhao Meng smiled happily and nodded.

(Brother, you don't want to play the trick of Taoyuan's three knots, do you?) "Thank the emperor for his appreciation, Lin Xiao should work hard, live up to the name of a hero, serve the southern country, and serve the emperor." "This sycophant made Lin Xiao feel uncomfortable, if it weren't for the fact that the little junior sister had practiced the thick skin of the city wall over the years, she would have been red to the root of her ears right now, sin, sin.

Zhao Meng raised his wine glass, and his young age was quite imposing: "I am the youngest here, in my opinion, the three of us heroes cherish each other, why not become brothers with different surnames today, in the future there will be Brother Yelu in the North Covenant, and I and the imperial brother in the south will help each other inside and outside, the two countries will form an alliance, the three of them will be concentric, the world is big, why worry about not succeeding?"

(And so...... Lin Xiao listened, and looked at Yelujin again, and he had already raised his wine glass, and at this moment both of them looked at him. (It seems that the two of them are ready to get together in the Huxin Pavilion today, and they want to pull themselves in.) ）

At this time, remembering the sentence told by the old lady Zhao Mei, "If the emperor says something, you will listen to it", Lin Xiao naturally would not act rashly, and pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring at the moment, raised his wine glass and clinked glasses with the two.

In the Huxin Pavilion, the three of them made an alliance with blood, and after saying some nonsense about living and dying together, sharing honor and disgrace, Lin Xiao found the opportunity to leave immediately.
