Chapter 60: An Unexpected Encounter

East of Jialing City, Tanglin Palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The high wall and deep courtyard, the eaves are glazed, two stone lions sit quietly in front of the house, the rivets of the vermilion gate are shining with golden light, and the ebony plaque at the main gate is "Tanglin Palace" four golden characters. On both sides of the main gate, there are eight soldiers in bright armor, holding spears and axes in their hands, fierce and solemn, very powerful.

What a rich mansion.

Shook the two jars in his hand full of spring, fortunately he brought something, otherwise it would be cold and tight, Liu Xi said secretly, and then stepped forward with a smile.

"Bold, the palace is heavy, and the idle people don't leave quickly!"

As soon as he had walked a few steps, he heard a whisper in his ears, and after a while, he saw the spears shining with cold light all coming towards him, Liu Xi had to stop, if he went further, there was no doubt that these soldiers would treat him as an assassin and rush forward to arrest him.

Since he came to ask for someone, how could Liu Xi make trouble for no reason, so he said to the guards and Yan Yuese, "Brothers, can you bother to report to the prince, Liu Xi asks to see." ”

"Go, go, go......"

The square-faced man at the head waved his hand impatiently, and said sharply, "How can the prince be a person like you who can see him when he says it?" It's better to hurry back and save me from waiting for you to be arrested and put in prison to suffer. ”

The words are very boring, but Liu Xi is still smiling, the maid next to the princess, the guard of the prince's mansion, and the gatekeeper of the prime minister's house, which one is not the master's golden servant?

Handed over the two jars of wine in his hand, Liu Xi said quite sincerely, "The prince has an important position, works hard for the court, and will not bother in the future, but I was fortunate to meet with the prince, and learned that the prince likes good wine, so he found some thin wine, and hoped that the old brother could transfer it to the prince on his behalf, Liu Xi thanked him here." ”

The words were modest and gentle, and while speaking, Liu Xi took out a silver ingot from his arms, and the square-faced man who was about to raise his gun swallowed his saliva, ten taels of silver was his year's money, and now it was in front of him, how could he not be moved?

coughed lightly twice to cover up the gaffe, and the square-faced man squinted and said, "Put it here, I'll report to you later, and whether it succeeds or not, I can't be the master." ”

"In this way, there are a few old brothers."

Liu Xi put the wine aside, and put the silver on the sealing mud, and the square-faced man checked left and right, put the silver in his arms, and looked at it pretendedly, so he called a soldier and hugged the two jars of wine in.

Maybe it was the effect of the silver, Liu Xiwei did not leave on the side of the street, and those soldiers were no longer embarrassed by him, but just whispered in a low voice over there, with a hint of joy on his face, thinking about where to drink after the change of value.

"Squeak!"

The vermilion gate opened in response, and the two armor soldiers who had gone in with wine before hurriedly came out, and said two words with a panicked expression, and the square-faced man immediately carried a spear and walked towards Liu Xi on the side of the street.

Liu Xi, who was looking at the surrounding scene, was surrounded by more than a dozen spears again after a while, and couldn't help but wonder, he stayed here and didn't leave, because he expected that someone who knew the goods in the palace recognized Man Tangchun and brought the wine to the king of Tanglin.

There was a late-night conversation last time, and the king of Tanglin learned that he had come to ask for a meeting, and he wanted to summon him, but now he was surrounded by soldiers, and Liu Xi was a little confused.

In the final analysis, he didn't do anything illegal and undisciplined, could it be that the king of Tanglin wanted to arrest people?

"Presumptuous, don't retreat!"

A voice came, and I saw an old man in green clothes and white hair walking out, maybe too anxious, his breath was a little chaotic, looking at the soldiers surrounding Liu Xi, his eyes were a little more gloomy.

Hearing the sound, those armor soldiers hurriedly retreated to the side, looking at each other, the square-faced man turned even pale, and suddenly, he felt that the ingot of silver in his arms was very sloppy, and there was a trace of bitterness in Liu Xi's eyes.

"But Liu Xigongzi? The prince was very happy to learn that the prince had come, and specially asked the villain to come and lead the son into the house. ”

Looking at the square-faced man who was becoming more and more cramped, Liu Xi smiled and bent over with the visitor, "There is a labor manager." ”

Seeing Liu Xi saluting, the steward of Tsing Yi bowed his head slightly, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, if he is really a person who the prince admires, although he has a genius, he is not arrogant or impatient, gentle and respectful, and he is afraid that he will have a great achievement in the future.

After looking at it for a while, the steward in Tsing Yi turned around and walked towards the house, Liu Xi immediately strode up, and the square-faced man behind him breathed a sigh of relief, his sweaty hand reached into his arms, touched the silver ingot that had not yet been warmed, thinking that when Liu Xi came out, he would definitely return it to him.

Entering the palace, Liu Xi opened his eyes again, flying eaves and stones, verandahs curved back, courtyards scattered, mountains and rocks fine water, green onions reflecting flowers, magnificent, but fresh and elegant.

Before walking to a gazebo, the Tsing Yi steward stopped, and someone over there had already greeted him, but it was Li Mengxiao, who Liu Xi had several encounters.

"Liu Xi!"

Wearing a blurry floral brocade hibiscus color wide-sleeved shirt, wearing a golden skirt of dragging the ground, Li Mengxiao's smiling face was like a flower, revealing a row of teeth like snow, perhaps too happy, he waved his arms, and the sleeves slipped off, revealing a section of mutton fat and jade lotus root.

was so enthusiastic, but it made Liu Xi a little uncomfortable, after all, this was in the palace, and King Tanglin was sitting in the pavilion. Opposite him, a person had his back to Liu Xi, a white robe with gold silk, a hosta on his head, broad shoulders, but his figure was a little thin, and even a little rickety.

Thinking that Li Mengxiao's cheerful appearance made him curious, so he also turned around, at this time, Liu Xi finally saw the other party's appearance, his face was still smiling, and a pair of eyes looked at Liu Xi as if he was nothing, and then his eyes burst into the cold star, and his emaciated body straightened up at some point, and a momentum of nothingness was also pressed like a tide.

This is not the coercion of Reiki.

Liu Xi's heart sank, and he immediately understood, he could have such momentum, and laugh and drink at the same table with the king of Tangling, and let Li Tang's prince, princess and county lord add tea and pour wine on the side, looking at the world, I am afraid that there is only one person.

That is Li Tang's current emperor, Li Shan.

He just wanted to make friends with the king of Tanglin and find a shelter, but he didn't expect to meet the Tang Emperor, Liu Xi couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but he had already arrived in front of the pavilion, so he naturally couldn't turn around anymore, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and saluted in front of the white jade steps of the pavilion and said, "Liu Xi, the grass people, has seen the saint." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, a hearty but slightly lacking laughter sounded, "Hehe, Brother Huang, Brother I said, this Liu Xi is extremely smart, you still don't believe it, but now you want to drink the wine in the cup?" ”

"Haha, fourteenth brother, when did I lose my trust to others, besides, this wine is fragrant, I have long been itchy and unbearable, I only heard that the folk have produced a superb wine, and I have not been able to taste it, but I want to drink it happily today!"

Under the laughter, Li Shan drank all the wine in the jade cup, and Li Hui, the king of Tanglin, also took a big sip, and he didn't know whether it was because of the spicy wine or his thin body, so he immediately coughed violently, and his face was flushed.

"Fourteenth brother, if you are unwell, quickly pass on to the imperial doctor!"

"Ahem...... Don't worry...... Ahem...... My brother was just choking, and this is really good wine...... Ahem......"

After a long time, the king of Tanglin eased up, said with a smile, looked up at Liu Xi, who was still bending down and saluting, and raised the jade cup to Li Shan, "Brother Huang, people brought you wine, why didn't you let him come forward to speak?" ”

"This is your fourteenth brother's mansion, could it be that this little thing still needs me to speak?"

"The imperial brother is the honor of the Ninety-Five, and the whole world is not the king's land, how dare the younger brother say more?"

These words seem to be jokes, and they seem to have deep meanings, although Liu Xi, who lowered his head, had guesses, but he could not deduce anything from just a few words, and at this moment, the laughter of the Tanglin King and the Tang Emperor came from his ears again, and then he heard the Tang Emperor Li Hui say leisurely, "Okay, since the fourteenth brother has spoken, you come forward to talk back, it just so happens that I also have something to ask you." ”

"The grass people don't dare."

I didn't understand what Emperor Tang would ask him about, but Liu Xi still saluted again, and only raised up later, but when he stepped forward, he had to salute with King Tanglin and Li Mengxiao one by one, so he bowed down and walked up the stone steps and stood on the edge of the pavilion.

At the foot, there is a clear stream, under the breeze, the microwave is slow, a few swimming fish are happily playing, jumping out of the water from time to time, stirring up a splash, and then into the water, rippling ripples.

"Sure enough, they are good-looking, Meng'er mentioned it to me, and you saved them several times?"

It turned out that I was going to ask about this.

"The grass people are terrified, the princess is blessed with all the heavens, the grass people just learned a little from the wandering magician, how can they be greedy for their own merits."

"Oh?"

Tang Huang snorted softly, then stopped speaking, Li Mengxiao on one side rolled his eyes and glared at Liu Xi, causing Li Ming to cover his mouth and laugh secretly, as if he heard the laughter, Li Ze, who was eating snacks, glanced up, and then lowered his head and continued to eat his favorite fruit crisp.

"Brother Huang, this Liu Xi is very talented, and Seventh Brother also appreciates him."

"Oh?"

Tang Huang snorted softly again, but then Liu Xi felt that sharp gaze returned to him again, as if he wanted to see through him at a glance.

"The couplet that appeared a while ago is his handwriting."

Click......

The wine dripped on the sandalwood table, and the Tang Emperor Li Shan, who was about to be full of jade, was stunned for a moment, and when Li Ming wiped the sandalwood table, he got up and approached Liu Xi, and only said softly after a while, "I didn't expect that your calligraphy attainments at such a young age are so profound, which really makes me envious." ”

Tang Emperor Li Shan, he doesn't like music and rhythm, and he is not good at beauty, but he loves ink calligraphy.

At the beginning of the year, he also heard about the couplet, he thought that it was a sensational thing, and when he saw it in the palace of the Tanglin King, he was immediately shocked, and even quietly took away a couplet outside the gate when he left, which made the Tanglin King annoyed for a while.

"The saint praises falsely, and the grass people are deeply disturbed."

Liu Xi saluted with a panicked face, hiding Feng and Nei, is what he has to do now, especially in front of Emperor Li Tang, after all, a companion is like a tiger, and before he steps into the temple, he still needs to lie dormant in a low-key manner.

But at this moment, Li Mengxiao said again, "Father, Liu Xishi also writes very well, and he made 'Yun Xiang Clothes and Flowers Xiang Rong'!" ”
