The longevity banquet is approaching, and Guangling County, as one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms, will bring his family to Beijing in the near future to celebrate Emperor Xia's birthday.

As Ye Xiao's entry into Beijing approached, some people became more and more busy, changing their methods to make new dishes, and forcibly fed Xiao Er who tried it to gain weight.

Xiao Er looked at the table full of delicacies, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "As for it?" You're the county lord, not the cook! ”

Nan Mingyu brought another plate of new dishes, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is called Xinyi." If you meet the man you like in the future, you will also want to care about him and want to do it yourself. ”

“...... Then I'd rather never have a man I like for the rest of my life. ”

Xiao Er pushed the new dish aside and said, "Now the East Palace privately says that I am a murderer, and it is difficult for my sister to be willing to associate with me." ”

Nan Mingyu glanced at Xiao Er and said, "Okay, even the great qi of the sky should be gone." I blamed me for not believing you at the beginning, but you didn't deliberately hide it from beginning to end. You're still the sister I watched grow up, and I'm sure you'd never do that! ”

In fact, Nan Mingyu still has a reason buried deep in his heart, which he can't say. An "accident" can take advantage of the situation to bring down the most favored pair of sisters and brothers in the East Palace, if she really has a heart, I am afraid that there is a way to make others not doubt herself.

Nan Mingyu sometimes secretly condemns herself, she actually has such a shameful thought, but this sister has indeed changed, and she is like two people from the past.

However, Nan Mingyu is still willing to be a sister to her and willing to believe in her.

The eighth day of the fourth month is the day when the "Hongmen Banquet" begins.

Early in the morning, Xiao Er waited for news in the study with a group of doormen.

"Oh no!" Yan Qingxun ran in and said, "The latest report from the Jincheng County Mansion has failed to assassinate you!" All the anti-Wang remnants have been arrested! Fortunately, the dead soldier sent by the Xu family committed suicide in time and did not leave a handle. ”

The Xu family is Xu Huaiyi's maiden family.

Xiao Er didn't seem to believe what his ears heard, and he was stunned for a while before he reluctantly accepted the reality, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Dead man?" ”

"Didn't Donggong participate in this plan from beginning to end?" Xiao Er's face was already extremely ugly at the moment, and he gritted his teeth.

From the beginning of the Hongmen Banquet, it was obviously an ambush by anti-king people. In this way, he can be used to get rid of the king of Qin, and take 10,000 steps back, even if he escapes or ambushes the king, he can also be punished.

Yan Qingxun was silent, and it was difficult to speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Er was even more furious: "Who can tell me, what's going on?" ”

The prince said: "Previously, your uncle of the Xu family discussed with Gu, in case the Li family escaped against the king, or fell into the party of the king of Qin, our plan may not leak out." He sent the elite of the Xu family to assassinate him, creating the illusion that the two kings were burning. ”

When Xiao Er heard this, he felt that his throat was extremely sweet, and he said angrily: "What? It was all an informant negotiation before, and it has long been extinguished, so why leak the rumors! What a recipe! ”

The prince frowned and said, "The matter has come to this, what's the use of complaining too much?" The father-in-law is also kind-hearted, and he didn't leave a handle anyway. ”

Xiao Er was so angry that he didn't choose to speak, and said, "Heh, you are the same as you when you are the king of Qin." The anti-king of the Li family found out that we not only changed the hexagram, but also wanted to extinguish the mouth, how can we not hate, I am afraid that you will shake your old bottom on the spot! Why didn't you discuss the change of plans, why didn't I hear the slightest news? ”

"Presumptuous! It is the Father's decision when you will give your permission! ”

Xiao Er saw that the prince was messing around, and was about to open his mouth to reply, Yan Qingxun hurriedly covered Xiao Er's mouth, dragged the person away, and said: "Your Highness, I will think about it again immediately, please Rong Yan and others retire." ”

When he got out of the house, Xiao Er was so angry that he was dizzy in front of him, so he had to find a stone to sit down and rest.

Yan Qingxun said apologetically: "His Royal Highness didn't tell him about this at first, and it was too late when Yan knew about it. A wise man will make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, admit it. ”

Xiao Er calmed down a little and said, "I just want to know, why didn't I know from beginning to end?" I know best where there are loopholes and where they can be improved! Where do you go to find such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? We're done! I'm so angry that I care that the East Palace may be destroyed by King Qin! ”

"Yan will give an explanation to the son-in-law about this matter! What His Highness said...... But a few words are right, no matter how much we complain at the moment, it will be in vain, and infighting will be cheaper for outsiders. ”

Xiao Er's all plans were deployed under the premise that the "Hongmen Banquet" could be successful, at that time she was too confident, she never thought that such a detailed and thoughtful plan would have the possibility of failure, and now everything is in vain, how can she not be resentful. He stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Let me be quiet." ”

Yan Qingxun saw that people were calm, so he said: "I hope that the son-in-law will take care of her health, and Yan will say goodbye." ”

When there was no one around, Xiao Er smashed his fist into the stone wall irritably, "Oops, it hurts!" ”

Alas, go for a walk, so angry!

Xiao Er left the East Palace and walked around, and there was still nowhere to vent the depression in his heart, and his head was even more dizzy and painful. Xiao Er remembered that as his influence in the East Palace expanded, the prince deliberately gave him a pass token to leave the palace.

Xiao Er simply took out the token and went out of the palace, mingling in the surging flow of people, until the bell rang at dusk, and he was surprised to realize that he had inadvertently walked to the Huguo Temple. Nanxia has a tradition of worshipping Buddhism from the beginning, and at this moment, the solemnity and solemnity of the pagoda courtyard in the temple, and the commotion in front of the door are all seen by Xiao Er.

I only heard a pilgrim say: "I heard that the host of this Huguo Temple, the master of enlightenment, not only has profound Buddhism, but also can see through the half-life character of the world." ”

Xiao Er has never been a person who believes in gods and Buddhas, and when he heard this, he sneered in his heart, Buddhism seems to be benevolent and boundless, but in fact it is the most ethereal and paralyzing people's spirits.

So he avoided the crowd at the entrance of the main hall, and followed several richly dressed women into the first hall of the temple together.

Seeing a little novice who seemed to have been instructed early, he stepped forward to greet him and said to Xiao Er: "Donor, please come here, the lord will last for a long time." ”

Xiao Er raised his eyebrows and followed Xiao Shami to the door of a Buddhist room.

After Xiao Shami said goodbye, Xiao Er pushed the door and entered.

I saw a solemn and graceful statue of Guanyin, an old monk with a gray beard was facing away from Xiao Er, reciting scriptures, and didn't seem to notice anyone coming. It wasn't until half a quarter of an hour later that he stood up, bowed his head and said, "Amitabha, donor, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

Enlightenment only wears simple monk clothes, although the temperament is outstanding, and the feeling of a monk is a monk, but he does not feel half of his attachment to life, but like those who are terminally ill and waiting for death in bed.

Xiao Er smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite to host. I have heard for a long time that the host has a pair of discerning eyes, which can determine the life and death of mortals, I don't know if I can see what the little girl is doing this time? ”

Realizing that he did not answer, he said: "Everyone in the world thinks that knowing fate can change the outcome." As everyone knows, the ending is often the same way. Lao Wei leaked the thousand-year-old prophecy with a single thought, and he didn't want to make the unborn Ziwei Emperor Star become a broken army and kill star. In the future, I don't know how many injustices will be born in vain in this world? ”

Xiao Er heard it in a fog, and he didn't know what he was talking about, but he still refuted: "Since the host said that the prophecy has changed, how can he know that the ending is fateful?" ”

Wu shook his head slowly and said, "The obsession will not be extinguished, and the illusion will not fall." ”

Looking at the bright-eyed and handsome-looking girl in front of her, she still felt remorseful. Back then, because of a thought, he leaked the secret of heaven, and now he is destined to die soon, and he wants to see the girl again no matter what.

Enlightenment was silent, and Zhengse said: "The donor is very angry, and he may suffer from ......it in the future."

Xiao Er felt that the monk was scolding himself in a different way, his eyebrows were upside down, and he sneered: "You monk, you are really pedantic. Since I am not a saint, how can I not be angry? The world is long, three thousand prosperous, who is willing to be a nobody forever? You haven't captured the faith of the people outside here, and you're here to deceive and pretend. If you really have the ability, you can tell me where I come from! ”

Enlightenment: "The donor came from a dream and went to the present world, going around and around, but it was just a dream and a catastrophe." ”

Xiao Er frowned, thinking, this old bald donkey who is playing haha, is he making fun of himself?

Wu shook his head slightly, his expression was touched, as if he had a thousand words to warn Xiao Er, but when the words came to his mouth, he said: "Variables are only in one thought, if you can't stick to your heart, maybe everything will be empty in the end...... Donor, please go back. ”

After that, Wufu knelt in front of the Buddha again, rang the bell and chanted the Buddha, no matter what Xiao Er said, he never raised his head. Xiao Er had no choice but to return in defeat.

Out of Huguo Temple, it was already the willows on the moon, Xiao Er was extremely depressed, he wanted to relax but was called to be sarcastic, and it was strange that he was in a good mood.

When I came back to my senses, I saw the ten-mile long street of Kyoto in Nanxia, with brilliant lights and loud voices; All kinds of lanterns, dazzling.

Xiao Er remembered that in order to celebrate spring, Kyoto will hold a lantern festival in April, and today happened to catch up.

When night falls, pedestrians laugh, melodious music floats leisurely, and BMW incense cars come and go endlessly, a prosperous scene. Xiao Er couldn't help but sneer: "These people are really forgetful, no wonder the King of the Wei family and the Nan family never died back then, and they were probably unwilling to change anyone......"

"The people are different from the gate lords, and they only want food and clothing. For the people who bring food and clothing to them, they will not care too much, let alone family hatred and national hatred. ”

The voice was like a cold spring, and I couldn't hear too much emotion. Xiao Er was shocked and said, "Who--"

Turning around and looking, the moment he saw that person, he could only think of Gongzi Wushuang in his mind.

This person is only a weak crown year, wearing a simple light purple robe, handsome facial features, but the eyes are very sharp, as if graceful flowers are wrapped in ice picks in the cold sun. The tail lines of the eyes have always been thin and thin, so they are not light or heavy, which is particularly arrogant and cold.

Xiao Er took one last look at his eyes and found that they were still as dark as an abyss.

At this moment, the purple-shirted boy is holding a folding fan and smiling, obviously looking like a wealthy king and grandson in Beijing, but he still exudes a profound and compelling momentum.

Similar superiors, Xiao Er has seen many people, but no one can be as sharp as him.

Xiao Er couldn't help but purse his lips and think, with such momentum, he must have been in power for many years and held a high position for a long time.

In addition, the vague bloody slaughter around the body cannot be possessed by soldiers who have not experienced the war, and it is preliminarily concluded that he is a general.

Who is this man?

"It doesn't matter who I am, and it may not be useful to you." Before Xiao Er could figure it out, the purple-shirted boy suddenly spoke.

Oh......

Wait, how does he know what I'm thinking? Xiao Er was surprised.

The man chuckled and said, "It is a political taboo for the heart to be exposed." ”

What?! Am I so obvious? Xiao Er was not convinced, and thought, impossible, how can I also be a little bit of a city, has this person learned to read minds?

Xiao Er came back to his senses and said: "Childe's words just now are outstanding, which can be described as disrespectful, so you are not afraid that the government will punish you for the crime of rebellion?" ”

The man said: "Thank you for reminding me, there are really not many people in the world who have the ability to punish my crimes." ”

Xiao Er didn't laugh angrily, and said: "The son is so arrogant, but it's a pity that if the soldiers are strong, they will be destroyed, and if the wood is strong, they will be broken!" Let you be a prince and noble, after all, you can't compare to the Ninety-Five Supreme, and if you dare to speak wildly, believe it or not, I will send you to the government immediately! ”

"The mouth of the people is more important than the Sichuan, and if the river collapses, it will hurt many people. The usurpation of the Wei clan by the Nan clan is a matter known to the whole world, and if you want to punish the crime, I am afraid that all the people in the world can be arrested and put in prison and condemned as rebellion. I am a small people, why be afraid? ”

Xiao Er had never been scolded like this in person, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You ......"

This was not enough, the man seemed to smile and continued: "I remember that Nanxia has always had strict etiquette, and women are even more constrained by the 'Seven Out Rules'. As a woman, the girl talks about state affairs in vain, and she talks a lot, and she leaves her relatives; Just because he is not angry in his heart, his words are like knives, jealousy, and he is in trouble; disrespects the forbidden rules, shows off on the street, wantonly talks to men, lewdness, and is a disorderly clan; Look at the dark green in the corners of your eyes, your steps are vain, it is not a longevity, there is a vicious disease, so you can't share it. ”

Xiao Er's face suddenly gloomy when he heard this: "Wild boy, what do you mean?" ”

The corners of the man's mouth hooked slightly, and said: "In the next meaning, the girl is not married yet, and she has already committed four of these seven rules." If you don't repent in time, you are afraid that if you enter the door before you come to the door, your back foot will be suspended, and it will become a strange story, and everyone in the world will look at it. ”

Xiao Er finally understood, okay, not only cursed me for a short life, but also dared to curse me to be suspended in the future!

No, I have to hold back, I can't fall into his way. I'm a well-cultivated politician and I don't show my heart casually......

Go to his cultivation!

"You bastard! The old lady fought with you! Xiao Er was so angry that he smoked and said angrily.

Since I knew today that the prince was changing his plan behind his back, there was nothing going well, Xiao Er had already suppressed an evil fire in his heart and had nowhere to vent, and now seeing this person who was waiting for him to bump into, he inevitably wanted to go up and stab him, who knew that he would not be pleased!

Xiao Er was gearing up, planning to teach a good lesson, this wild boy who came out of nowhere, however, was easily restrained by a man.

At this time, the bloody breath coming from the man was more obvious, and Xiao Er was suspicious, but he heard the man chuckle and said: "Little girl, before you don't know the real strength of the opponent, you will take the lead in making a move, but you will suffer a big loss!" ”

Xiao Er was even more angry when he heard this, and after several struggles, he saw that it was difficult to get out, so he suddenly opened his mouth and bit the man's arm to restrain him, and after a while, his mouth was full of blood, and he took advantage of the opportunity to escape.

The man didn't seem to expect Xiao Er's actions, and was stunned before letting go and saying, "Why do you bite." ”

Don't fight and don't know each other, with this experience, it dilutes the depression in Xiao Er's heart, and he also has a little friendship with this boy who can speak well.

The two walked through the splendid long street in Kyoto together, pointing out each other and talking about the mountains and rivers, and the old and spicy eyes of the purple-shirted boy and his point-to-point insights made Xiao Er gain a lot.

Later, he stopped at the bank of the river where the lights were turning. The water is rippling, and there are all kinds of river lanterns, rippling in the center of the water waves, surrounded by warm light.

Xiao Er asked, "Hey, what's your name?" I don't know your name yet. ”

The purple-shirted boy played with the folding fan in his hand, and replied casually, "This is very important?" But the water meets. Tomorrow, you may not even remember what I looked like. ”

"No, I changed my mind. I want to know because -- I want to know you. ”

Hearing this, the purple-shirted boy chuckled, looked at Xiao Er's dark eyes, and said word by word: "Then you can remember, my name is Nan and Yu." ”

"Whoosh--" "Smack--"

At this time, the sky suddenly exploded with "fire trees and silver flowers", the stars fell like rain, the crowd on the river bank became restless, and the fireworks display began.

The bright flame light reflected Xiao Er's expression that had not yet converged under the shock. She subconsciously retreated, Nan Yu ....... King Qin...... The prince's nemesis......

Seeing the purple-shirted boy smiling as usual, Xiao Er only felt that his scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to take a breath of air, so he hurriedly took advantage of the crowd and fled away. Leaving Nanyu alone, she looked at the back of the girl fleeing in a hurry, and the corners of her mouth smiled.

That night, a torrential rain fell in the palace, washing away the blood of the Li Manchus, and the turmoil subsided on the bright side.
