Chapter X

The banquet was dispersed, scattered plainly, the appearance of the famous knife "Rainbow Life" was not widely known, the emperor issued a gag order, and the officials present today were strictly forbidden to spread the word, Xiong Lan and Xiaolou were called into the inner room to talk, and the wooden box was taken away by the fox, as if nothing had happened.

But Ying Yue was sure that the wooden box did tremble when it was aimed at him, something that didn't happen when he was opposed to ordinary people. In fact, he didn't have much hope for getting a famous knife, but when he watched Xiong Lan and Xiaolou walk into a room side by side, his heart suddenly throbbed, and the two of them ...... There was a secret that he couldn't get to the bottom of, and he should have sat with the girl in the goose yellow shirt and looked at the moon and the stars and whispered...... It should be him......

He unconsciously walked to His Excellency Wangxi, looked up, and saw that the sun was hanging in the center, and a figure sat on the eaves and leaned down to look at him and smiled: "What are you thinking?" I've called you a few times, come up! He patted his side and motioned for Yingyue to come up and sit down.

Climbing up the stargazing platform and climbing over the railing, Wang Mian was dangling his legs on the longest cornice, he didn't smile innocently, his face was a little unruly, and his eyes were empty to look out into the open space.

"I heard about yesterday," he turned to Ying Yue and said, "isn't it just a knife?" ”

Ying Yue opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but she couldn't think of anything for a while, so she could only shake her head dejectedly.

Wang Mian's tone suddenly lowered, "At least...... You still have hope, I was on duty all night outside the Dayi Palace last night. ”

His face gradually changed from calm to excited, and finally his eyes widened, his eyebrows raised, what should have been an angry expression, but the whole person was depressed, he lay back, his head resting on his two hands, "You are in that place, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter it for the rest of my life." ”

"I envy you...... If you can't get in, you won't go in. Seeing him so low, Ying Yue said loudly.

"Just because I said I can't get in doesn't mean I don't want to go in." Wang Mian glanced at him obliquely, and turned his head to look at a few birds pecking in a clearing not far from Wangxi Pavilion, "That's called 'Earth Warbler', and it can't fly by nature." ”

After he finished speaking, he took a small pebble and threw it with a little force, so startled that the warblers called out repeatedly, and the insects that came to their mouths also dropped, fluttering their wings and leaping in all directions, and the fallen leaves on the ground were swept around by the air flow brought by the wings.

The crown was right, they flared their wings hard, but they didn't fly.

The boy who threw the stone over there stopped after watching it for a while, but just said to himself: "Before, when my mother was still there, she once said to me, 'Finch, there must be a future in the future, in that case, my mother can laugh even if she dies.'" ’”

"Sparrows?"

"Don't laugh, that's my nickname."

Wang Mian was a little surprised, but then a slight tremor flashed in her voice, "Later, she really died, and before she died, she said to me, 'Finch, we are earth warblers, but...... The warbler also wants to fly, you have to ...... Turn into a phoenix. ’”

"You and Xiong Lan, and Xiaolou...... You were born to be a phoenix, and glory and wealth grew on you, but I am different...... I'm a ground warbler, the same as the one on the ground over there, so what...... I still want to fly. ”

He lowered his head, but what he thought in his heart was, when did I become the object of envy in the eyes of others, and this grinning Praetorian Guard's mind was so delicate...... He thought about it, and saw a sigh on Wang Mian's face, and took out a slingshot from the gap in his breastplate.

"Do...... Do what? Ying Yue didn't come back to her senses and looked at her in a daze.

The crown was filled with steel balls and filled with rubber bands: "I'm hungry...... Hit a warbler to eat. ”

A few quarters of an hour later, two teenagers stood on the ground, each carrying a warbler in their hands.

"Hey, it's so fat," Xiong Lan shook the bird he was carrying in his hand, looking surprised, "The food of the people in the Forbidden Palace is extremely bad, but the food of the birds is excellent." ”

Seeing him salivating as he looked at the two birds, Ying Yue reminded him, "Will you make a fire?" These two birds...... How to eat? ”

A sentence was asked to the point, Wang Mian scratched his head in embarrassment, and then remembered that he couldn't make a fire, and he looked at the bird in his hand with some regret, "What should I do then?" It took ...... a long time."

His stomach made a long "growl" sound at an inopportune time, and at this time, a figure flashed from behind the pillar next to him, and said a little shyly: "I...... I will. ”

"What?"

I said...... I'll make a fire, those two birds," the man said, pointing to the warbler in their hand, "and I'll roast it for you." ”

Wang Mian's eyes were already bright, he shouted happily, went over and hugged the man's shoulder, the two of them stood together like brothers, Yingyue looked at that face more and more familiar on the side, the memory of last night flashed from his mind, and he cried out: "King Lu, you are Tong Qianzuo!" ”

The hand that Wang Mian hung on Tong Qianzuo's shoulder froze, like a marionette in the hand of Vasher's juggler, and his neck was twisted to the side with his head on his face, his face full of disbelief.

"Ah...... You are...... Yunhuang's major general? Tong Qianzuo didn't actually remember Yingyue, but just looked at the familiar face, he glanced at Yingyue a few times, and saw the black clothes faintly embroidered with the soaring Xuanniao, so he guessed the approximately.

Whether or not the descendants of the royal family can one day ascend to the throne, it is necessary to memorize the needs of each prince and family, which has been engraved in their bones, and they have unconsciously accepted the art of the emperor since childhood.

"Yes, I am." Ying Yue was a little happy to see that he could still remember himself, and when he saw this thin King Lu for the first time last night, he felt that he was somewhat similar to him, and he couldn't help but have some good feelings.

Wang Mian was already stunned, how many times did he know a young general, he met a prince of Wang, and now he met a dragon species...... The Forbidden Palace is indeed full of characters with heads and faces......

"If you don't mind, I'll help you." Tong Qianzuo didn't seem to be used to interacting with people like this, so he asked Yingyue with a red face.

As for the crown, he has fallen into deep doubts about his own life at this moment......

"Yes, we just don't know how to deal with it," Ying Yue smiled, stepped forward and snatched the earth warbler from the hand of the stunned crown and handed it over, "I'll leave it to you if it's convenient for you." ”

He made the appearance of a brother, in fact, he was also as shy and afraid of life as Tong Qianzuo, so when he saw this prince who blushed and spoke at every turn, he spontaneously felt a sense of sympathy.

Tong Qianzuo took the ground warbler, he seemed to touch the dead animal for the first time, he only held the bird's paws with one hand, and he didn't know what to do.

"Lord Wang, what are you doing here? This kind of thing, dirty your hands! From far to near, there was a sharp voice with disgust, and an old yellow door with a dusty hand approached at some point, he pouted, and the two long nasolabial folds under his nose reached his chin, "Which cub are you two?" Teach your Highness, watch your skin! ”

He stretched out a pale old hand to pull Tong Qianzuo's collar, muttering respectful words in his mouth, but he wanted to deal with a wild dog, and when he saw the two dead earth warblers, Lao Huangmen covered his mouth and nose exaggeratedly.

"Where are you? Come to the master to be presumptuous? Wang Mian came back to his senses, saw this half-human, half-demon pretentious old yellow door, and asked with a slanted gaze.

He has never liked the yellow door in the palace that has been cleaned, if the attitude is good, it would be fine, but today he met a rebellious and domineering, even the master dares to bully, although the crown is not good at reading, but he likes to listen to some historical commentaries that are sung by Vasheri, and he knows that there are not a few people who have misled the country in the Yellow Gate in the past dynasties, and the old Yellow Gate in front of him has a pale face, sparse eyebrows, and there seems to be green light in his eyes, and his long head is swaying.

"I don't know how thick the sky is!" When did Lao Huangmen get so angry, he trembled all over, his pale face was even paler, and it was said that the white jade steps had lifted him, Wang Mian laughed: "You old face, what's the matter?" When the old lady was born, she worked too hard, and she actually dried your face into this scene? ”

The vicious words he said made Yingyue laugh out loud, and Tong Qianzuo, who was a little scared on the side, also blushed with laughter.

Lao Huangmen screamed, straightened his arm and threw the dust, and was about to scratch the face of the crown with his sharp nails, but how could it be the opponent of this half-grown son who was mixed in the army, the crown moved, and kicked him violently behind the old Huangmen's buttocks, "ouch", and the pale face just hit the bluestone slab.

"Tong Qianzuo! Don't think that you are a prince, you can call these little bastards to bully our family! Lao Huangmen raised a bleeding head and shouted, "Niangniang asked our family to serve you, you are slapping Niangniang's face!" ”

Tong Qianzuo's face turned pale when he heard this, he didn't know whether he was angry or afraid, he trembled his lips and stared at the old yellow door on the ground, one foot suddenly stepped on the old face, Wang Mian laughed: "I really think of myself as a corner, what should I do with him?" The last sentence was asked to Tong Qianzuo and Yingyue.

Ying Yue pulled the crown sleeve and motioned for him to stop, but the crown ignored it and turned his head to Tong Qianzuo.

"Do you really think that with a national surname, you are a nobleman? You're just a slut, Your Majesty knows when you've had you, and your lewd old lady doesn't know how many people you're involved with......"

Before he finished shouting, Tong Qianzuo's face was getting redder and redder, and his body trembled, Wang Mian kicked on that mouth, Lao Huangmen moaned in pain for a while, and opened his mouth to spit out half a bloody tooth.

"Trouble ......" Wang Mian scratched his head.

"Cub! Is this known to be in trouble? It's late! What is the origin of the two of you, we don't need to ask, anyway, in this Yanjing City," Lao Huangmen said fiercely, "Except for Your Majesty, it is the eldest mother!" ”

Wang Mian squatted down expressionlessly, looked at the hideous old face, and said slowly: "You think too much, I'm worrying about how to kill you so that your master won't find out." ”

"You...... Don't you dare! Lao Huangmen shouted, but he looked at the young man in front of him who looked very honest with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and suddenly had a feeling: This person is really going to kill him.

"I want to see who is loyal to the wrong place and dares to put the mother in such a position!" A gloomy voice rang out, and a series of footsteps sounded from behind them, and Dou Zuo led a group of small yellow doors to step over.

"Father-in-law!" As soon as Wang Mian saw Dou Zuo coming, he immediately put back the foot that he had stepped on Lao Huangmen's face, and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, Major General." Dou Zuo first asked Tong Qianzuo to say goodbye, and when he saw Wang Mian coming over, he said angrily: "Liu Xuan, this bastard, what do you teach?" Teach you how to fight? ”

Listening to his tone, he was actually familiar with Wang Mian, and Wang Mian continued to smile and said: "The kid just met such a thing that spoils people's interest when he was with King Lu. He pointed to the ground, and when the old Huangmen saw that it was the Huangmen Order in the palace, his head was buried very low early, and he didn't dare to raise his eyes: "As soon as you come, you can scold King Lu vigorously, and you keep labeling yourself as a 'Niangniang', no one is afraid in this palace except Your Majesty, you talk about ......it."

"We heard it." Dou Zuo brushed aside the crown, walked to Lao Huangmen, kicked in the face, spat on it, and scolded: "Who gave you the dog gall to find the thing to die?" To insult the prince like this is to cut off his head! He lightly hit Lao Huangmen on the back of his neck with his hand, and his cold hand stabbed Lao Huangmen trembling, and he kept kowtowing, and his voice was crying: "Slave...... The minion knew that he was wrong...... Father-in-law, spare the slave this time, yes...... It was my mother who called me here, and the slave had no choice but to come. ”

He walked a few steps on his knees, grabbed Tong Qianzuo's clothes, and cried: "King Lu, Your Highness...... The slave should die, the slave should die, please spare the slave this time, just once......"

Tong Qianzuo was a little unbearable, the yellow door that had always been arrogant was now lying on the ground like a dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy, just about to say something, he had seen Dou Zuo wave his hand impatiently, a few small yellow doors couldn't help but say that the ground came up to hold up the old yellow door and was about to go out, the old yellow door was crying, tightly holding Tong Qianzuo's robe, the little yellow door stepped forward to hold a few fingers of him, and he made a lot of effort in two times, "click", the old yellow door rolled his eyes in pain, and tears fell down like beads, although he was still shouting, but he was also dragged away.

Tong Qianzuo and Yingyue were already stupid, they had never seen such a thing, Wang Mian was a gangster in the army, it was not strange to see such a ruthless thing, but his eyebrows trembled a few times, and the look of doubt in his eyes flashed.

"Your Highness, the minion has retired." Dou Zuo turned around and confessed his guilt casually, but Wang Mian dragged his sleeve and asked with a smile: "Father-in-law is in such a hurry, where are you going, our brother wants to barbecue meat, are you coming?" ”

Dou Zuo didn't annoy him with this appearance, kicked the crook of the young man's leg, and scolded with a smile: "You little beast is really difficult, our family wants to warn you, be careful of losing your head if you ask too much." "Say it, hunched over and pacing slowly.

"Something is wrong...... Wang Mian put away his smile, looked at the direction Dou Zuo went and narrowed his eyes: "Do you know where he went?" ”

Ying Yue shook his head, he hadn't been here for as long as the crown, and it was not easy to recognize his yard.

"I ...... I know. A timid voice sounded, Tong Qianzuo whispered, he pointed to the path, his voice trembled slightly, "That's ...... Ghost Burning House! ”
