Chapter 116: Uninvited Guest

"The snow is more and more awe-inspiring, and the temperament in the flower is the strongest. Outdated and self-congruent drifted away, and shame begged for mercy to Dongjun. The snow is flying, the wind is howling, and only the plum blossoms on the vast land dare to face the bleak life, and the snow is alone. The ravages of wind and snow can only make it stronger. What's even more commendable is that it has no intention of fighting for spring, and when the mountains are full of flowers, it will never miss the branches, let alone bow its noble head to Dongjun and beg for mercy. It's really windy and cold, and the strong man is gone. Singing a song drifts away, leaving spring in the world. ”

"It's another heirloom work, and what do you say that you have ever heard a Yongmei poem, and you have listened to such a good work, is it possible? Now it has been confirmed that this person is not only not a deceptive and a thief, but also a poet, but what is this person not admitting to be a poet at all? A question went to Yang Yu's mind, but another big question mark was generated. ”

"Good poetry, good poetry, I didn't expect this general to not only be able to take the rank of general among thousands of troops, but also to be able to chant such excellent verses, yes, yes, today is an eye-opener." Before the applause in the pavilion stopped, a slightly shrill voice rang out suddenly.

Only then did everyone see a group of guards and a few eunuch-like men at the entrance of the water pavilion walking in with a few young men in their arms, the leader was about twenty years old, and he was beautiful, but there was a feminine aura on his face, which made people feel at first glance whether this person was a woman dressed as a man, but at the second glance, it could be confirmed that this was definitely not a woman, but just a little female.

Seeing the group of men who suddenly broke into the water pavilion, except for Liu Fan and his group of eight people in the pavilion, almost everyone else stood up and stepped forward to salute, and said one after another, "Your post...... Villain...... I've seen the three princes......"

However, the third prince in the mouth of everyone turned a blind eye to everyone's courtesy, stared straight at Liu Fan and his party, and slowly walked over.

Liu Fan, Ling Han, Li Min and others had all stood up, their eyes full of surprise, but this surprise was not because of the arrival of the third prince, but because of another person beside the third prince, Xu Pan.

Yes, one of the people next to the third prince is Ling Han's cousin Xu Pan, Liu Fan has never seen him since that flower list competition, I didn't expect this person to have already arrived in the capital quietly, and he was fortunate to be close to the third prince, it seems that his father Xu Li's energy is not small!

For Liu Fan, the first disgusted person he has encountered since crossing is Xu Pan, and the first person who has planned to kill himself since crossing happens to be the third prince next to this person, today these two people came together, Liu Fan's heart is as uncomfortable as eating a fly, Xu Pan is just that, but the third prince is the most likely to become the next emperor, no matter how disgusting he is, he has to deal with it carefully, the key is that it is definitely not a good thing for himself that these two people are hooked together, "Alas, troublesome things." ”

When he glanced at Ling Han and Li Min, he also frowned slightly, it seemed that the two of them also had the same thoughts as themselves.

The girl Qiuhua next to her had already introduced to Liu Fan, "General Liu, this is the Third Highness." ”

After the girl Qiuhua finished speaking, Liu Fan, Li Min, Ling Han and others immediately stepped forward to salute the third prince, because Liu Fan and Li Min and others were not wearing military uniforms, they could not salute at this time, they immediately put their hands together, bowed down to each other and made a long salute, and said loudly: "Liu Fan, the commander of the Shence Army under the command of the Northwest Battalion, has seen the three princes!" Next to him, Li Min, Ling Han, Dong Zi and others also reported their positions together.

"Oh, General Liu and General Xiao Min needless to say, the two of you are now the best of the younger generation in my Great Qi military circle, Xiao Wang has been friends with the two gods for a long time, this Ling Han girl is the pearl of the palm of General Manager Guo, Xiao Wang has long heard of the girl's name, but the meeting is even more famous, and the long one is even more closed, it is really rare!"

Speaking of this, Liu Fan inadvertently caught a trace of greed from the eyes of the third prince, although the eyes were fleeting, but a sense of uneasiness had faintly risen in his heart.

And at this time, the flies revolving around the stinky meat came forward in time and said, "Lord Wang, she is the cousin I mentioned to you a few times before, I am not wrong, my cousin is a rare woman in the world who is both talented and beautiful, and now she is working in the Northwest Camp, and I hope that the prince will help you more in the future." ”

Before Xu Pan could finish speaking, the third prince had already strode to the middle seat where Liu Fan and the others were sitting just now and sat down, ignoring the other party's words at all, Xu Pan's face was flushed for a while, and he saw that Ling Han's eyes were full of reproach, and he was even more embarrassed and helpless.

I heard the third prince say again, "Sit, sit, everyone sits, it's uncomfortable to stand like this, General Liu, sit next to this king." ”

Since the third prince and his party sat on the main seat in the north, the servants of Qunfang Pavilion had quickly set up Liu Fan's and his party in the east with Hou Gongzi and others, but at this time, when he heard the third prince's call, Liu Fan had to sit down on an empty seat under the third prince.

The third prince didn't care about the attention of the people in the pavilion to him, and when he saw Liu Fan's respectful face, he immediately patted Liu Fan's shoulder and said, "I heard that the general is an open-minded person, why should he be so restrained, I have heard you from many people's mouths, the general became famous in the battle of Ganzhou City, and defeated the Khitan army of 200,000 in the line of camps, it can be said that this year's northwest camp has won a great victory in the war against the Khitans, and the general has made great achievements, Xiao Wang has admired the general for a long time, and he has been looking forward to meeting the general, and he will meet here today, It was unexpected. ”

"The prince praised it falsely, I am just a rough man with a lot of strength, where I can afford to be commented by the prince, and it is also the duty of those of us who are soldiers to eat food to protect the family and defend the country, what is wrong with what we will do in the future, please forgive the prince and give me advice!"

"Very good! The general is not only both civil and military, but also so humble, it is really commendable, in a few days we will be working together, I hope the general can actively assist me to complete the commercial negotiations with the Khitans, and jointly handle the errand given to us by my father. ”

"Everything depends on the prince, and he will do his best."

"Okay, it seems that this king and the general are very close to each other, come and come, this king salutes the general."

When the third prince and Liu Fan touched the wine, he raised his eyes and looked around and said, "Hey, what are you doing, why don't you drink, what are you just looking at me and General Liu?" ”

Yang Yu got up and said, "Lord Wang, if you don't speak, how dare we, we don't dare to disturb the conversation between you and General Liu!" ”

"Cousin, this is complaining about me, okay, it's my fault, everyone toasts together, I salute to you!"

Waiting for everyone to drink, Yang Yu said, "We just opened a wine order with the theme of plum blossoms, it is a coincidence, this order happened to pass to the lord of the north, His Royal Highness and his party coincided with its meeting, we respectfully ask His Royal Highness to write a poem for this wine party, and also wish Daqi prosperity, longevity and health." ”

"Haha, cousin, this is going to embarrass me, it's okay, it's rare and sunny weather today, plus the plum blossoms around are purple and red, compared to the plum trees in the Hibiscus Garden, it's not much inferior, and today's four major leaders in the capital are gathered here, which looks even more comfortable, and we're welcome, Xu Gongzi, let you write a poem on behalf of me to cheer up this event."

The third prince asked Xu Pan to write poems by name, which flattered Xu Pan, who had not recovered from the embarrassing realm just now, and immediately got up and bowed deeply to the third prince, and said with a humble face, "Thank you for raising the villain, the villain will definitely live up to the prince's high expectations." ”

At this time, Liu Fan had already understood that the idea of himself and Hou Gongzi coming to Qiuhua to have a drink had completely changed, not only could he not let go of his belly to drink, but he also had to always guard against the "open guns and hidden arrows" of the third prince, Xu Pan, Yang Yu and others, not to mention relaxing, just if they didn't cause trouble, everything would be fine. raised his eyes to look at Hou Gongzi, and saw that Hou Gongzi was looking at him with an apologetic face, so he had to smile and shake his head at the other party.

He lowered his head and thought about what kind of excuse he should find to lead a few people to leave first, so that others could not feel deliberate. Suddenly, he heard another warm applause from the pavilion, and raised his head blankly, only to find that Xu Pan had a smug face, and was frequently raising his fists, "Rough work, please also ask your brothers to be right!" ”
