CHAPTER XXVII

At noon, the sun casts its strongest rays, and when it spits out all its heat, it reflects a dazzling light that pierces people's eyes.

Nan Shangguo. In the Palace of Forgetting Worries, Xuanyuan Yuxiao and Xuanyuan Hibiscus faced each other and sat on the edge of a square dining table; The dining table was full of dishes, and they were eating, eating with relish.

At this time, Xuanyuan Yuxiao said to Xuanyuan Hibiscus: "Uncle Wang, this cook in the Nanshang Wang City, the dishes he makes are really delicious, and the taste is very similar to the dishes he used to eat in the palace. ”

"Of course, this dish was made by my uncle." Xuanyuan Hibiscus said while eating.

Xuanyuan Hibiscus had been stabbed in the face by Leng Yiyi, and he had begun to wear a mask again, but now the mask he wore did not cover the entire face, but only the scarred half of the face.

When Xuanyuan Yuxiao heard this, he pointed at those dishes with chopsticks and said in surprise: "Uncle Wang, are you saying that you made these dishes?" ”

How? Do you think your uncle really only knows how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and nothing else? Xuanyuan Hibiscus said, "Over the years, the king and the princess have eaten food, and basically the uncle has made it!" ”

Xuanyuan Yuxiao put down his chopsticks and said, "Uncle Wang, in the past ten years, you have lived here, and you have no relatives around you, you should be very lonely!" Although King Nanshang is very good to you, after all, this is not your home, and living on someone else's territory, it is inevitable to look at other people's faces. ”

When my uncle first came here, he was really not used to it, he missed his hometown every night and night, missed the royal brother, missed you and Zhen'er, washed his face with tears all day and night, and wanted to cut himself off several times, if the king hadn't stopped it in time, I'm afraid my uncle would have been dead a long time ago."

Xuanyuan Yuxiao listened to his uncle talk about these sad pasts, and he felt a little sad in his heart.

Xuanyuan Hibiscus saw that Xiao'er was a little sad, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, we are not allowed to talk about these unhappy things from now on." After speaking, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in Xiao'er's bowl, and then said, "Hurry up and eat!" If you don't eat it again, the food will be cold. ”

Xuanyuan Yuxiao picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of meat in his uncle's bowl, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang wants to eat more meat to replenish his body." After finishing speaking, he was about to use chopsticks to pick up the meat in his bowl and eat it, when suddenly, he remembered that this scene had happened with Luo Yihan, and then he immediately withdrew his smile.

Xuanyuan Hibiscus saw Xiao'er retract her smile and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Why are you unhappy again? ”

"Uncle Wang, my nephew misses my younger brother, I wonder how he is doing in the Valley of the Immortals now?"

"When we have completed the great cause of restoring the kingdom in the future, you can make him king or an official when the time comes."

"The great cause of restoring the country?" Xuanyuan Yuxiao hung his head and said, "It's easier said than done. ”

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Hibiscus said confidently: "Xiao'er, not only are we and Yelu Nan as deep as the sea, but the king and Yelu Nan also have a deep blood feud, he has always been on our side, we have the king as a backer, what are you afraid of?" Besides, the queen of the Nanshang Kingdom is the sister of the king of Beisu, and the king and we are in the same boat, so of course the king of Beisu will also get on our ship, we have the support of Nanshang and Beisu, and we are afraid that we will not be able to complete the great cause of recovering the country? ”

Xuanyuan Yuxiao was stunned when he heard this, and praised: "Uncle Wang, you are so amazing!" In the past, my father always praised you for your resourcefulness, and my nephew admired you. ”

These are the roads we will take in the future, not to mention them for the time being, for now let's eat first!" Xuanyuan Hibiscus said and began to eat.

Xuanyuan Yuxiao also eaten, they were eating, and suddenly, Xuanyuan Yuxiao asked: "By the way, Uncle Wang, didn't you say last time, now the whole Wangcheng knows what you look like, and you don't need to wear a mask anymore!" Why are you wearing a mask again? ”

This ...... Uncle...... Uncle has been wearing it for so many years, and he is used to wearing it, and suddenly ...... I was a little unaccustomed to not wearing it suddenly, and I felt that it was better to wear it. Xuanyuan Hibiscus was a little nervous when Xiao'er asked this, and he said in a hurry.

Xuanyuan Yuxiao saw his uncle's nervous appearance, so he asked, "Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you?" Why are you so nervous? ”

When did Uncle get nervous? You think too much, hurry up and eat! Stop talking. Xuanyuan Hibiscus said and picked up the dishes and ate them, ignoring Xiao'er no more.

At this time, Xuanyuan Yuxiao looked at his uncle and thought: Strange? Why do I think something is wrong with Uncle Wang? Something must be hiding from me? Thinking of this, he deliberately said: "Uncle Wang, you have made dust on your face when you cook." ”

When Xuanyuan Hibiscus heard this, he hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his face with his hands, and asked while wiping: "Dust? Where's the dust? Is it ever wiped off? ”

"No, no, you wiped it wrong, and my nephew wiped it for you." Xuanyuan Yuxiao said as he put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up from the chair, quickly bent down, and stretched out a hand to take off the mask on his uncle's face.

When he took off his uncle's mask, he saw a scar on his uncle's face, and his eyes widened in shock, and even the mask fell off his hand, and then he stammered: "Uncle Wang, you ...... Your face...... How can you have a scar on your face? Who did it? ”

Uncle ...... While walking in the house, my uncle accidentally tripped and broke the vase, and was ...... Scratched by splinters. Regulus stammered nervously.

"Scratched by splinters?" Xuanyuan Yuxiao said angrily, "This is obviously a knife wound, isn't it the one who didn't do it coldly?" I've heard Yuwen Vegan say that he has been trying to kill you all these years, and if it weren't for the king protecting you, I'm afraid you would have died a long time ago. With that, he angrily went to the sword base, took up the sword, and said, "I'll go and kill him now." ”

Xuanyuan Hibiscus hurriedly walked over, grabbed Xiao'er's arm with both hands, and stopped: "Xiao'er, uncle's injury has healed, don't make any more trouble." ”

Since Qingyun was destroyed, Xuanyuan Hibiscus has changed a lot, the former King Jinchang who loved to mess around has long since ceased to exist, and now he has become mature and steady, and he is no longer as impulsive as before......

"This cold inconsistency is too hateful, how can you bully a person who doesn't know martial arts, even if I don't kill him, I have to cut off his hand." As soon as Xuanyuan Yuxiao finished speaking, he heard a voice from the door: "Whose hand are you going to cut off?" Then I saw Yuwen Yanjie walking in, followed by Jia Shan.

Yuwen Yanjie and the others came too suddenly, Xuanyuan Hibiscus didn't have time to take the mask, so he hurriedly covered his face with his hands to prevent Yuwen Yanjie from seeing the scars on his face.

When Yuwen Yanjie saw Xuanyuan Hibiscus covering his face with his hands, he wondered: "Amo, what's wrong with you?" When he saw Lonely, he didn't come to greet him, and he covered his face with his hands. ”

Xuanyuan Hibiscus didn't answer, but Xuanyuan Yuxiao said: "King, you came just in time, Leng Buyi actually bullied my Uncle Wang under your nose, did he still take you in his eyes?" ”

Hearing this, Yuwen Yanjie already understood what he meant, and hurriedly walked up to Xuanyuan Hibiscus, took off Xuanyuan Hibiscus's hand covering his face, and said angrily: "How can this be reasonable." After speaking, he said to Jia Shan, "Jia Shan, go and call Leng Buyi." ”

Jasan said, "Yes. Then he walked out of the doorway.

After Jia Shan left, Xuanyuan Hibiscus explained to Yuwen Yanjie: "King, Leng didn't mean to lead him, when he comes, you can just say a few words to him." ”

"Amo, don't you know that he has always wanted to kill you? How can you intercede for someone who wants to kill you? Yuwen Yanjie said.

"He really wanted to kill the minister, but in the end he chose not to kill him," Xuanyuan Hibiscus said, "Besides, Commander Leng is your right-hand man, if you kill him, it will be no good for you, only a loss, all these years, he has been wanting to kill the minister, because he has a lot of misunderstandings about the minister, he is afraid that you will be controlled by the minister, in the end, he hates the minister because of you, it is a blessing that the king can have such a loyal person by his side!" ”

Of course Lone knows what you said, Lone and him, as well as Zixiang and Ah Duan, we have been friends since childhood, why don't you know him, for the sake of your intercession for him, Lone can not kill him, but he must be punished, otherwise one day, he will not climb on Lone's head." As soon as Yuwen Yanjie finished speaking, at this moment, Leng Buyi walked in, faced Yuwen Yanjie, knelt down on his knees, and leaned down; At this moment, he trembled with fright, and stammered: "Minister...... See the king. ”

Before Leng Buyi came, he already knew that the king was looking for him for Xuanyuan Hibiscus, so he brought a knife and was ready to die......

Looking at your frightened and trembling appearance, you should know what Lone is looking for you for! Now that you know everything, then you won't say much, how to punish it, you should know it in your heart! Yuwen Yanjie said solemnly.

After hearing this, he sneered and said, "The minister already knew the result before he came, but the minister was unwilling. ”

"Unwilling?" Yuwen Yanjie asked solemnly, "What are you unwilling about?" ”

At this time, Leng Bu raised his body and said angrily: "The minister is loyal to you, digging out his heart and lungs, in the end, he is not as good as an outsider, the minister is cold, cold!" Leng Buyi said this, pulled out the knife he brought, and was about to wipe his neck, at this moment, Yuwen Yanjie instantly snatched the knife from his hand, and then kicked him, and said angrily: "Lone originally wanted to kill you, but before you came, Amo interceded for you, for Amo's sake, Lone can spare your life, but the crime is inescapable." With that, he threw the knife to the ground and continued, "How did you cut Amo in the face with the knife, and now you cut yourself with the knife." ”

Leng Buyi sneered, and then said: "Amo Amo Amo, is there only Amo in your eyes and hearts?" ”

"Amo is Lone's friend." Yuwen Yanjie said angrily.

He's your friend, isn't the minister your friend? Or do you like Amo? Leng Buyi said fiercely.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Hibiscus took a step back in shock, and then stumbled to the ground, and Xuanyuan Yuxiao beside him hurriedly supported Xuanyuan Hibiscus and asked, "Uncle Wang, are you okay?" ”

No ...... It's okay. Xuanyuan Hibiscus was so shocked by the cold words that he couldn't even speak, but he was not the only one who was frightened?

At this time, Yuwen Yanjie picked up the knife from the ground, pointed at Leng Buyi who fell to the ground, and said angrily: "Leng Buyi, Leng Buyi, I really didn't expect your mind to be so filthy and lonely...... Lone kills you. As he spoke, he raised the knife and was about to slash at Leng Buyi, but he didn't expect to be so angry that he was dizzy, and then his eyes were closed, his hand was loosened, and the knife fell from his hand to the ground, and then the whole person fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, everyone was surprised.

At this time, Jia Shan hurriedly walked over, intending to support him, but he didn't expect Leng Buyi to immediately get up from the ground, take the first step to support him, and said, "King, are you okay?" ”

At this time, Yuwen Yanjie slowly opened his eyes, saw that Leng Buyi was supporting him, hurriedly pushed him away, and said angrily: "Get out." ”

At this time, Jia Shan then walked to Yuwen Yanjie's side, helped Yuwen Yanjie to the coffee table and sat down, then poured a glass of water, handed it to Yuwen Yanjie, and said, "King, you dissipate your anger, don't be angry." ”

Yuwen Yanjie caught the teacup, drank the water, then put down the teacup, and said to Leng Buyi: "Leng Yiyi, what are you still doing here?" Get out of here, I don't want to see you for a moment. ”

After hearing this, he picked up the knife from the ground; Everyone thought that he picked up the knife to leave with him, but unexpectedly, he stuck the knife in his abdomen, and then vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, everyone was taken aback, even Yuwen Yanjie was so shocked that he got up from the chair, hurriedly walked to Leng Buyi's side, helped him to sit up, and said loudly: "Leng Buyi, are you crazy?" After speaking, he said to Jia Shan: "Jia Shan, go and pass on the imperial doctor." ”

When Jia Shan heard this, he quickly walked out of the door.

After Jia Shan left, Xuanyuan Hibiscus also walked to Leng Buyi's side, and then helped Leng Buyi to the bed and lay down with Yuwen Yanjie.

At this time, Leng Buyi shouted in a daze: "King." Then he fainted again, and the knife was still stuck in his body.

After a while, Jia Shan walked in with Imperial Doctor Jin.

Seeing that Imperial Physician Jin was coming, everyone stood aside and made way for Imperial Physician Jin.

When Imperial Physician Jin saw that it was Commander Leng lying on the bed, he hurriedly walked to the edge of the bed, first put down the medical box, then opened the medical box, took out a piece of cloth with his left hand, took out a medicine bottle with his right hand, poured some medicine on the cloth, then put down the medicine bottle, and then untied the cold clothes, grabbed the handle of the knife with his right hand, pulled it out hard, and the blood came out instantly.

Leng Buyi woke up from his coma in pain, and exclaimed: "Ah! Then he stretched out a hand to Yuwen Yanjie and shouted weakly: "Great king, great king...... ”

At this time, Yuwen Yanjie walked a few steps to the side of the bed, and looked at the hand that Leng Buyi stretched out to him, but he didn't reach out to take it.

Yuwen Yanjie, Qiu Zixiang, Situ Duan, and Leng Buyi are not only monarchs and ministers, but also friends who have played together from childhood to adulthood.

In fact, Yu Wen Yanjie's thoughts are not the same, Yuwen Yanjie has always known in his heart that when he was a child, he heard Situ Duan tell him, and at that time, he always thought it was a joke.

Originally, Leng Buyi was his personal guard, and Qiu Zixiang was the commander of the Praetorian Guard, but later he found that Leng Buyi's words and deeds were a little wrong, and he cared too much about him, so he let Leng Buyi and Qiu Zixiang exchange official positions......

At this moment, Leng Yi's hand stretched out for a long time, Yuwen Yanjie didn't hold his hand, he was a little lost, and then slowly put his hand down, turned his face to the bed, his face was full of sadness, he knew very well in his heart that between him and Yuwen Yanjie, except for the relationship between the monarch and the minister, there was nothing else, and even friends were no longer friends......

After about a stick of incense, Imperial Physician Jin had already treated Leng Yiyi's wound, and then said to Yuwen Yanjie: "King, Commander Leng is seriously injured, but fortunately he didn't hurt the fatal parts, plus he was saved in time, and his life is no longer in danger, but he needs a period of time to recuperate, and he can't get out of bed for the time being, and he has to change the dressing on time." ”

"Lone knows, you go down first!" Yuwen Yanjie said expressionlessly.

Imperial Physician Jin arched his hand and said, "The minister retired." Then he walked out of the door with the medical kit.

After Imperial Physician Jin left, Leng Buyi lifted the futon and was about to get out of bed, when Xuanyuan Hibiscus, who was standing aside, hurriedly stopped: "Commander Leng, Imperial Physician Jin just ordered that you can't get out of bed now." ”

Leng Buyi ignored Xuanyuan Hibiscus, and just said to Yuwen Yanjie: "King, this is not a place where the ministers live, and I hope that the king will prepare a carriage for the ministers and send the ministers back." ”

After hearing this, Yuwen Yanjie instructed Jia Shan: "Jia Shan, you go and prepare a carriage and send Commander Leng back, if you have something to do, you will go back first." After saying that, he walked to the door, and just after a few steps, the cold on the bed was uneven, and he quickly got up and got out of bed; He got out of bed too quickly, touched the wound, spit out a mouthful of blood in an instant, and then fell to the ground, Xuanyuan Hibiscus was closest to him, hurriedly supported him, and said: "Commander Leng, don't you want to die?" Your wounds are still bleeding! ”

At this time, Leng Buyi's face was pale, he held back the pain, covered the bleeding wound with his hand, and said coldly to Yuwen Yanjie: "King, are you really so ruthless?" The minister is injured like this, and you want to send the minister back, don't you want to? Don't you know that the minister has always been ...... Before he finished speaking, Yuwen Yanjie hurriedly turned around and interrupted him: "Shut up, didn't Gu just say it, let Jia Shan send you back, could it be that your ears are also injured, didn't you hear Gu's words?" Also, if you are hurt like this, you are to blame, and it is not someone else who harms you. After speaking, he said to Jia Shan: "Jia Shan, what are you still doing in a daze?" Hurry up and prepare the carriage and send the cold away. ”

After Jia Shan heard this, he was about to leave, but at this time, Leng Buyi hurriedly said: "No need, the minister is a person who practices martial arts, this injury is nothing, just walk back." With that, he walked step by step to the door; Every step he took was struggling, and at this moment, his wound had been cracked, and the blood was flowing down, and there were blood stains on the ground, but he could not feel the pain of the wound, because the pain in his heart was more painful than the wound......

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold of the Palace of Forgotten Sorrows, he fell to the ground and passed out.

At this time, Xuanyuan Hibiscus really couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly said to Yuwen Yanjie: "King, even if Commander Leng has a thousand things, but he is injured like this now, you can forgive him!" Don't be angry with him. As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Shan picked up and said: "Yes, the king, you just send him back in person as he wishes, in the final analysis, he is also for you, all these years, the slave has been looking at you, in fact, he is ...... Before he finished speaking, Yuwen Yanjie hurriedly interrupted: "Shut up." And glared at him with fierce eyes, and then glared at the others, and said angrily: "Lone warns you, from now on, you are not allowed to mention cold inconsistency in front of Lone, let alone talk nonsense, otherwise you will be killed." As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yuxiao, who was standing on the side, couldn't help laughing a few times, and immediately covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing; But when he laughed for the first time, Yuwen Yanjie had already heard it, and at this time, Yuwen Yanjie asked him seriously: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Xuanyuan Yuxiao put down his hand and said, "King, the minister finally understands why Leng Buyi has always hated the minister's uncle, it turns out that he is ...... Haha, he's ...... Hahaha, he's ...... you Hahahaha. Xuanyuan Yuxiao was so speechless that he could only laugh.

"Shut up," Yuwen Yanjie said angrily, "Xuanyuan Yuxiao, if you dare to make fun of Gu again, Gu will drag you out and beat you to death." After speaking, he said to Jia Shan: "Jia Shan, send Leng Buyi back with Lone." With that, he walked to the door.

Jia Shan followed him, walked to the door, and helped Leng Yiyi, who was unconscious, with him.

After they left, Xuanyuan Yuxiao couldn't help laughing again, and said to Xuanyuan Hibiscus while laughing: "Uncle Wang, I really didn't expect that this cold person has a habit of breaking his sleeves, and he is still a ...... to the king No wonder he hates you so much, it turns out that he eats your and the king's vinegar again. ”

"Xiao'er, don't talk nonsense, if the king hears it, even if he doesn't kill you, he will beat you to the ground." Xuanyuan Hibiscus said solemnly.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it," Xuanyuan Yuxiao said, "Then let's talk about me and the ice cube!" Speaking of this, he was surprised and said, "No! How can I open and close my mouth is ice cubes, am I not the same as cold? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you're going to marry a princess in the future." Xuanyuan Hibiscus said as he walked over to the coffee table and sat down, poured a glass of water and drank it.

"Marry her?" Xuanyuan Yuxiao was surprised, "Then I'd rather be whipped to death." ”

"If you don't marry her, then who will you marry?"

"Marry someone like my sister." Xuanyuan Yuxiao said and walked to the coffee table and sat down.

"Could it be that you like your junior sister?"

"I like it, I like it, but my sister likes ice cubes."

"Does Han'er like her?"

"Ice is just a piece of ice, ice that can't even melt fire, I guess he doesn't even like himself?" Speaking of Luo Yihan, Xuanyuan Yuxiao was angry and happy; The angry thing is: Over the years, Luo Yihan has never smiled, always putting on that cold face, the same for anyone, even for him. Happily: he was honored to have this younger brother.

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Hibiscus was silent, and at this time, Xuanyuan Yuxiao complained to Xuanyuan Hibiscus: "Uncle Wang, you don't know how much my nephew has suffered in order to make my brother happy. ”

Tell me about it." Xuanyuan Hibiscus said.

In the spring, my nephew was stung by bees in order to pick flowers for him, in the summer, my nephew almost fell into the lake and drowned in order to catch fish for him, in the autumn, my nephew was chased by dogs in order to steal fruits for him to eat, and in winter, my nephew fell into a snow pit and almost froze to death in order to catch a hare for him, but he did not even say a word to me. Xuanyuan Yuxiao was a little unhappy when he said this.

"If it were me, I wouldn't want to talk to you."

Why?"

Because what you do, it's boring."

Isn't my nephew doing these boring things because he wants him to be happy! My father and mother are ...... because of me Xuanyuan Yuxiao said this, his face full of sadness.

At this time, Xuanyuan Hibiscus said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else!" ”

"Say what?"

As long as you don't talk about those who are unhappy, you can say anything. Xuanyuan Hibiscus said.

Their uncle and nephew chatted like this, and they talked all afternoon.
