After an endless late spring night rain, the delicate red and lovely peach blossoms began to bloom on the mountain, and the catkins as light as cotton yarn also swayed in Jialing City, making the naughty boy chase very happily, stretching out his clenched fists again and again, but found that he never caught the catkins, and finally had to suffer from the worries of his father and mother, for fear that the catkins would be sucked into the stomach.

The dying spring is blooming its last charm, and the more enthusiastic summer is also quietly brewing, which makes the whole Jialing City more lively.

Because the saint is not confused about the approaching birthday, although the will of the imperial court is not allowed to be extravagant, but these days the people often see Pegasus galloping, all of which are congratulatory gifts from the officials who are guarding one side outside.

With this scene, the curious people naturally would not let it go, and whenever they met it, they stretched their necks and raised their necks, hoping to see what kind of congratulatory gifts the high-ranking people prepared for the king, so as to boast more in the teahouse restaurant.

On this day, the spring is bright, the sun is lazy and makes people quite happy, the day is not noon, people in twos and threes poured into the teahouse, talking about the short sesame and trivial things in the family, boasting of hearsay anecdotes, maybe in exchange for a burst of laughter and scolding, or maybe in exchange for admiring eyes, but these do not need to care, all they want is to pass the time with nothing to do.

"Look, that's 'water cold'!"

I don't know who was sitting by the window shouted, and it was immediately like a stick stirring in this idle crowd, and suddenly everyone was inexplicably excited.

'Shui Han' is the most elite soldier in Datang.

The most important thing is that this is to congratulate the king on his birthday, since the 'water cold' has arrived, the famous king of Zhenxi must also be a companion.

But when countless people couldn't wait to crowd to the side of the street, they only saw the 'Shui Han' with cold armor and murderous intent, and did not see the king of Zhenxi who kept Xinyang and made it impossible for the Han people to step further.

Of course, there are also sharp-eyed people who recognize that it is Brother Li Feng, the prince of the world, who is standing heroically in the lead, and when he heard this voice, there was immediately a person with a quick mouth pointing to the carriage lane where the wind chimes were swaying, and there must be the lord of Shurou sitting in it.

As if to confirm what this person said, a jade hand pulled the curtain of the carriage, and then a delicate face came into view.

Suddenly, it attracted the hot eyes of countless people.

"Shurou, you haven't come out for a long time, so my brother specially brought you here to breathe this time, so that you don't get bored and panicked after staying in the house for a long time."

Yanran smiled, and the jade hand of the county lord of Shurou covered her mouth, "Ming'er knows that it is still my brother who loves Ming'er the most." ”

With that, his eyebrows swept through the crowd, as if searching for something, and finally, he lowered the curtain and sighed quietly in the carriage alone.

The horse's hooves were clattering, the car hub was sparkling, Brother Li Feng and his party gradually moved away, and in the crowd of discussions, Xiao Wu tightly held the shoulder of the horse embroidery.

"Today, in front of the public, it is not suitable for ......"

I have known each other for a long time, how can Xiao Wu not understand Ma Xiu's affection for the lord of Shurou, how many nights Ma Xiu muttered after being drunk he heard it in his ears, maybe he didn't want to see it, Ma Xiu can bury this deep marrow in his heart, but now the lovely person who misses a lot is in front of him, and the long-suppressed feelings must have emerged like a storm.

In the world, this love word is the most annoying.

The whole body trembled uncontrollably, looking at the carriage that was gradually out of sight, and a heart-wrenching loss appeared on Ma Xiu's flushed face.

is in love with a beautiful woman, but she can't meet in front of you.

A trace of disgust welled up in his heart, Ma Xiuwei really hated himself for being cowardly, he followed the county lord of Shurou from Jialing to Xinyang, but he never had the courage to step into the Zhenxi Palace, just because he felt that he was not worthy of the lord of Shurou who was like a fairy in his eyes.

Later, when he heard that the Huns were coming, he went to Yangqu non-stop, and stayed in Yangqu City for most of the year, not so much to help Liu Xiping, but not to escape his inner feelings.

In front of everyone's eyes, he really couldn't step forward to stop Shurou's carriage and say lovesickness to her, but in private, he couldn't take a step to go to Shurou's mansion to ask for a meeting.

He's a coward.

After a long time, Ma Xiu pushed away Xiao Wu's hand, and walked to the side in despair, but he turned around and walked towards the small courtyard, seeing that Xiao Wu behind him was quite stunned, but he didn't know how to speak, so he only followed closely behind Ma Xiu, for fear that he would make some unthinkable moves.

In the city, the scenery is prosperous, dark, and still dark.

It seemed as if a thin breeze was blowing for no apparent reason, and the faint light that creaked and burned gently shook its posture, creating a flickering reflection on the steel cage.

"Ahem......"

It had been silent for a long time, and a coughing sound came from the dark prison as if everything was in place, shattering the dead silence.

"Haven't we seen each other in a long time?"

The voice was a little lacking in rhyme, as if it had exhausted its strength, and with some trembling, it sounded outside Liu Xi's cage.

Liu Xi, who was sitting still in the prison like a withered pine, slowly opened his eyes, looked up at the next person, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If you calculate carefully, you really haven't seen the prince for more than half a year." ”

Now that he is a prisoner, life and death are unpredictable, and Liu Xi doesn't need to make those false courtesies.

After a few glances at Liu Xi, the king of Tanglin also bowed his head slightly as elegantly as usual, "Since you proudly ascended to the Gui Palace, this king has not seen you, the most romantic champion of the Tang Dynasty, every time I hear the news from the northern Xinjiang, this king has to praise you for being a hero, and I also want to go back to the dynasty to drink a few cups when you become famous, but I didn't expect to meet again in this dark prison." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xi shook his head with a smile, "The world is unpredictable, who can say clearly, if heaven and earth are a chessboard, you and I are just one of the chess pieces, and many times, we can't help it." ”

A hint of banter flashed in his eyes, and the King of Tanglin, who was holding his hands behind him, took a few steps forward, "Then why don't you go to the person who plays chess, in this way, isn't it that heaven and earth come and go freely." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xi was a little surprised, in his impression, the king of Tanglin has always been seriously ill, and it is precisely because of this that he seems to be more indulgent in an elegant life, not for fame and fortune, but for the sake of drunkenness between landscape poetry and painting. He is gentle and elegant, he does not show a fighting spirit, how can he say such words now?

If you want to be a chess player, you have to become a master.

Naturally, Liu Xi couldn't tell whether this Tanglin King was joking at the moment, so his face did not change, he nodded with a smile, and gave a temptation, "What the prince said is not unreasonable, but there are thousands of people in the world, and there are a few people who can be the people who are in charge, but they are all mortals with the naked eye, even if they come from the east, I am afraid that they will not fall into the hands of the world." ”

The meaning of the joke in the eyes of the king of Tanglin has not diminished but increased, "What ordinary people ask for is nothing more than food and clothing [lewd] desires, even if they are chess pieces, they are also willing, this world can be a chess player, but there are very few, in the eyes of this king, you and I are one of the people." ”

These words, Liu Xi was shocked unconsciously, and seemed to have turned into the well-known Uncle Liu Huang in his mind, and the one standing in front of him was the hero Cao Cao, if there was one more green plum and a pot of wine, it would be even more like.

quietly and carefully looked at the King of Fandonglin, and saw that his face still had an indelible sickly color, but there was a bright look between his eyebrows.

Is this a temptation, or is it nonsense?

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Xi, who was already in prison, regarded it as a temptation, chuckled and shook his head, "The prince has tormented the guilty ministers, Liu Xi is a reckless person, his body is not shrouded in gold and jade, and he is not protected by purple qi, how can he be a chess player." However, it is the prince's golden body, which inherits the heavens and the earth, and has atmospheric luck, which can be described as the person who is in charge of the destiny of heaven. ”

"You've always been so humble, but it's this humility that makes you shine even brighter."

The king of Tanglin said with a smile, thinking that his mood fluctuated, and then he coughed violently, and in the silent prison, this series of coughing sounds echoed like earth-shattering thunder.

After a long time, King Tanglin, who stopped coughing again, wiped a trace of red on his mouth, "If, as you said, this king is the one who holds chess, then he will definitely use you as a golden horn and silver edge." ”

Golden horn and silver edge, how can Liu Xi not know where the gold is expensive in the chess game, but why did the king of Tanglin go against the norm and suddenly come to this secret prison to tell him that this meaning is very, and even has a great rebellious language.

Liu Xi was a little puzzled.

Could it be that the king of Tanglin wants to ......

His heart thumped, Liu Xi thought of a thought he had never thought of, the king of Tanglin had been sick and weak all these years, and what he did was also indifferent to fame and fortune, in fact, these reasons were made to outsiders.

Throughout the ages, many ambitions have been hidden in forbearance, perhaps the same is true of the King of Tangling, this time, he Liu Xi obtained the secret letter of fornication with the Huns, it is very likely that it is from the hands of the King of Tanglin.

Thinking of this, Liu Xi suddenly felt a chill in his heart, at this moment the king of Tanglin was still smiling, but in his opinion, it was like a cold winter in the wax moon, and the ice picks were piercing.

Maybe Liu Xi inadvertently showed consternation, so that the king of Tanglin saw it in his eyes, and the smile became thicker and thicker, and being surprised was what he wanted, and only with surprise could it be shown that Liu Xi understood the intention of what he said.

"Okay, you can rest here, in a few days, this king will come to fulfill what he said today."

As he spoke, King Tanglin glanced at Liu Xi deeply, and his deep voice sounded again, "After all, among the younger generation, there are too few talented people like you......"

The rustling footsteps gradually faded away, and the violent coughing sound finally dissipated in the dark prison, although Liu Xi sat with his eyes closed, his inner peace was completely broken by the king of Tanglin.

Sure enough, the royal family has no brothers, but no matter what the outcome is, it will be beneficial to him Liu Xi and harmless. If the king of Tanglin ascends to the throne, he will come here to secretly prison today, obviously he values Liu Xi a lot, and the king of Tanglin is weak, there will definitely be more opportunities for revenge in the future; Even if King Tanglin was defeated, it would also move Li Tang's vitality, which was undoubtedly an opportunity for him.

This time, it seems that it is also a good situation to be locked in a dark prison, at least away from this dispute, as a spectator who sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight.

After a long time, after clarifying his thoughts, Liu Xi took a deep breath and meditated silently again.
