CHAPTER I. 4

As soon as Shangguan Beitang returned from the racecourse that day, he saw the housekeeper Qin Bo hurriedly come forward to report: "Lord Wang, Lord Wei is here." "Brother Wei has returned to Beijing, where is he?" "It's already in the Frontrooms." Steward Qin said again.

Shangguan Beitang threw the reins of the horse to the deputy general on the side: "Xiao Anzi, feed the horse, I will go out later." "My subordinates understand." Xiao Anzi took the reins and led the horse away. Shangguan Beitang and Qin Bo walked into the front hall together.

"Brother Wei, you can be regarded as returning to Beijing, how are you going, can you make progress?" As soon as he entered the door, Shangguan Beitang asked. "Lord Wang." Wei Xu bowed his hand and said goodbye. "Brother Wei doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat. Uncle Qin, serve tea. ”

The two sat down, and Uncle Qin brought tea. Shangguan Beitang listened to Wei Xu while sipping tea: "The matter has been clarified, it was the remnants of the former dynasty who fled who assassinated you in Huaiyang that day, in addition to those two, several other accomplices have also been arrested, and after being escorted back, the lower officials handed them over to the criminal department." "Did the emperor go to report there?" Shangguan Beitang put the tea bowl on the table and asked.

"I went early this morning, and the emperor ordered me to transfer the case to the Criminal Department, and I don't know where to decide." "That naturally depends on what the emperor means."

"Well, I wonder if the prince is well?" Wei Xu asked. "Alright, good morning. By the way, Brother Wei, in a few days, I asked a friend in Beijing to listen to Yuxuan drinking, and you must come then. Tomorrow I will write an invitation and have it delivered to your house. Shangguan Beitang said.

"Thanks to the prince's love, it's just that the lower official will leave the capital in two days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to drink with the prince." Wei Xu said.

Shangguan Beitang was a little stunned and asked, "Where are you going to leave the capital?" "My father is old, and it is not easy to stick to the north alone, and I have already played the Ming Holy to go to the north to take up duty." Wei Xu said again.

Shangguan Beitang had mixed feelings in his heart, he got up and took a few steps back and forth, and sighed silently: "It's all gone, it's all gone," and smiled helplessly, and said lonely: "Only I, the king of Beixuan, have no name in vain, and I haven't even received a single soldier in Kyoto." led the court in vain. ”

"The prince doesn't have to be sad, the emperor also thinks that the prince is still young, so he won't let the prince go out of Beijing, rest assured, there will be a time to make contributions." Wei Xu comforted.

Shangguan Beitang didn't speak, and after a while, he asked again, "When will Brother Wei leave?" "The fifth day of the first month." "Okay, then I will practice for Brother Wei. By the way, Master loves to drink Yunchun Brew, and I recently got a few jars. Tomorrow I will ask someone to send it to your house, and you can bring it to Master. "Thank you, Lord Wang."

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there were two heroic young men standing by the long pavilion outside Kyoto, namely Shangguan Beitang and Wei Xu. Shangguan Beitang held a glass of wine and said: "Brother Wei, I don't know when we will see each other today, I respect you with this glass of wine, and I hope to cherish it." With that, the two of them toasted together and drank it all.

Shangguan Beitang said again: "The border is bitterly cold, the sword has no eyes, Brother Wei should be more careful." Wei Xu nodded and said: "Prince Xie cares, his subordinates understand, but although the border is bitter, it is also a clear sword, Kyoto is the place where the undercurrent is surging, and the prince should be more careful when he stays in Kyoto." ”

"This king will also ask the Holy Lord to leave Beijing as soon as possible to lead the troops." "Lord Wang, I am afraid that this matter is not easy, the emperor is afraid of you, everything is better to be careful." Wei Xu didn't continue. But Shangguan Beitang still saw the meaning in his eyes.

"Hey," Shangguan Beitang shook his head: "How can this king not understand, it's just that since the day I became Shangguan Beitang, I have never had a relationship with Your Majesty again." said this, but how could he feel good in his heart, how could the emperor treat him with great favor, how could he be a ruthless person, and he was not moved by it at all?

Wei Xu looked at him, and he was also distressed. When he was young, he practiced martial arts and swords with her, and she even worked harder than him, a boy, in order to be a good king of Beixuan, she got up early and went to bed early, and learned everything from sitting and walking. Now she is already alive and well, and she looks like a man.

If there were no changes, maybe she would only be that innocent girl, married to a good family at such an age, and lived happily all her life.

As he was pondering, a soldier came forward to report: "I have seen the prince." Shangguan Beitang nodded. Then he said to Wei Xu: "General, it's time to leave." Wei Xu bowed to Shangguan Beitang: "Take care, your subordinates are down." "Brother Wei cherishes it, and remembers to write from time to time to ask Master Ann." Shangguan Beitang returned the salute.

Shangguan Beitang stood outside the long pavilion and looked at the horse team that was far away, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and return to the city.

The market in the city is bustling with people coming and going. Although Shangguan Beitang and his family general An Hai were on horseback, they also had to slow down. Walking to the downtown area, Shangguan Beitang couldn't help but be attracted by the liveliness of this area, and he didn't pay attention to knocking down an old man who was begging all the way.

I only heard the old man's "oops" and fell under the horse's hooves. Shangguan Beitang was shocked, exhaled a "huh", and restrained the horse. Before he could open his mouth, he heard An Hai shout: "Boldly Diao Min, you dare to surprise the driving of the prince of Beixuan." Shangguan Beitang glared at An Hai and waved his hand to tell him to stop.

I saw that the old man couldn't care about the leg that was stepped on by the horse, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Shangguan Beitang: "The prince is angry, the grass people should die, the grass people should die." ”

Shangguan Beitang was very sad because he had just sent off his best friend, and he couldn't help but feel pity for this old man, so he stepped off the horse and stretched out his hand to help him: "How does the old man feel?" Legs may move? ”

When the old man saw him like this, he was so shocked that he took two steps back and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, the grass people are fine." Shangguan Beitang felt guilty and took off the money bag from his waist and handed it to the old man, saying: "It was the king's horse that frightened the old man, and I hope that the old man will accept this little heart, if you feel unwell, you can go to the hospital to see, if the money is not enough, you can go to the Beixuan palace to find the king." The old man took the money bag and hurriedly buckled his head to thank him.

And all this is seen by a man wearing a hat not far away. This person is Mu Nanfeng, the son of the Immortal. As soon as he entered the capital, he saw Shangguan Beitang riding on a horse on the official road.

When he saw Shangguan Beitang, he felt that this person was very kind, so he followed him all the way to the downtown area. "Isn't that the guy I treated that night? This man has harmed me a lot, and I have been hunted down and killed for months because of this man, and today I want to see who this man is. Secretly thinking that Mu Nanfeng picked up a stone from the side of the road, and his fingertips popped out and hit an old beggar.

The old beggar fell under the horse of Shangguan Beitang with a sigh. Mu Nanfeng was proud for a while, thinking that he wanted to see how this young lady dressed as a man should deal with this matter.

At this time, Shangguan Beitang's entourage said that this person was actually the Beixuan King of Jiang State. This made Mu Nanfeng feel surprised and shocked. This person is actually the king of the North Circle, the king of the North who is in charge of hundreds of thousands of North Rotation troops. How is this possible? It is really ridiculous and ridiculous that Jiang Guo would hand over hundreds of thousands of Beixuan troops to a female doll.

No, she is a woman dressed as a man, doesn't the world know that the king of Beixuan is a female doll, if so, then it is reasonable that she will be hunted down and killed. I healed him, only to find out that she was a dollgirl. It turned out that I was hunted down because I discovered the big secret of Jiang Guo.

What should I do now, am I going to poke out this matter and ruin the Beixuan King? In this case, those who chase and kill me will definitely fight me to the end, and in the end, it should be me and the Beixuan King Jade Stone burned.

Or am I going to keep this secret and use it as a threat, and ask those people to let me live? Tell them that as long as I live, no one will know the secret, but if something happens to me, everyone in the world will know that their Beixuan King is a female doll. This will be Jiang Guo's biggest joke.

was hesitating, but saw Shangguan Beitang dismount and help the old beggar and give the old beggar some silver taels. Mu Nanfeng couldn't help but look at Shangguan Beitang a little impressed: It seems that this female doll King Beixuan is also a good person, hey, how can my doctor destroy people's lives and future. But whether he will say this or not, he will be hunted down. How can this be?

Since this person has a good heart, it is better to make a living from this person. Maybe he didn't know that someone was chasing me, and he was in a coma that day, and the order should not have been given by him, but by the man. He probably didn't know I saved him. Otherwise, how could he be so kind to an old beggar, and let his savior be hunted down and killed!

It doesn't matter, it's a blessing or a curse, I can only go and break through by myself, when I successfully enter the Beixuan Palace, see how those people still kill me, it's better for me to play a dark light, those people will never think that I will make a living in the Beixuan Palace. Thinking like this, Mu Nanfeng followed Shangguan Beitang all the way to the vicinity of the Beixuan Palace.

This night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was silence everywhere, and Shangguan Beitang sat in the study and read. Yuzhu walked in with a bowl of lotus seed soup and said, "Lord Wang, let's eat something." Shangguan Beitang only looked at the book and didn't look up and said, "Let's put it there first." Yuzhu didn't move with the tray, just stood silently at the table, and after a long time, Shangguan Beitang found that she was still standing, put down the book and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll eat, I'll eat." ”

Yuzhu handed the lotus seed soup to Shangguan Beitang, Shangguan Beitang took it and shook his head and smiled and ate it, and after eating, he praised again and again: "It's still our Yuzhu's cooking skills, if any son marries you, it will be really a blessing." "What did the prince say, Yuzhu doesn't marry. Yuzhu will always follow the prince. "How can the girl's family not get married, if you look at which prince in Beijing tells this king, this king will definitely make the decision for you and let you marry in style..."

"I won't tell you, I'll go to sleep first." Yuzhu didn't wait for Shangguan Beitang to finish speaking, he pretended to be angry and snatched the bowl in his hand and walked straight out of the study. Shangguan Beitang shouted behind him, "Hey, I haven't finished eating yet, hey." Seeing that Yuzhu ignored him, he shook his head helplessly, "Hey! ”

Shangguan Beitang had to bow his head and read again, and after a while, he heard a few slight footsteps in the room, but he listened carefully but it was gone, and after a while, there were two or three more sighs. Shangguan Beitang put down the book and said without panic: "Since the hero is here, why don't you show up and speak." ”

After the voice was spoken, the person who came knew that it had been exposed, so he had to show up. Shangguan Beitang was very surprised by the person who appeared at the door. This person broke into the palace at night and was actually dressed in white, and he did not panic when he was discovered, but appeared calmly without any fear.
