In the land of Zhongzhou, thousands of miles away from Fangyuan, many coincidences are happening every day, and some coincidences are even more bizarre.

At this moment, Song Boyao, the son of the Song Kingdom, felt that what he had encountered was quite bizarre, and a black-covered bird stopped on a beam pillar beside him, and under that beam stood his retainer Yurov.

Yurov was a tall and thin middle-aged man, and his appearance was extremely hideous, because he was once shot in the face by a rocket in a battle, and although he was lucky to survive, his face was completely ruined, and his whole face was like a puddle of mud, and he was blind in one eye. Right now, he was staring out the door with his other rotten eye open.

Outside the door, there was nothing but the quiet moonlight shining on the steps. Suddenly, a drop of blood silently bloomed on the steps, and then a moon-white figure rolled down, kneeling on the steps against his chest, blood, red and sticky blood flowed down the gap between his fingers, soaking the gray-white steps.

Yurov strode forward and said in a deep voice: "Have you seen anyone?" "Because his mouth was also burned, and he didn't speak in the wind, so his voice was very strange, as if he was hiding in the water.

The white figure of the moon shook his head.

"Who is it?" Yurov asked.

The white figure of the moon was seriously injured, and blood would spurt out of that mouth as soon as it was a mouth, completely muffling his voice, and he stretched out his fingers tremblingly, drew a few words on the steps, and then fell down on the steps with a 'plop'.

Tieshi, Song Rang.

The crooked four blood characters were particularly eye-catching, and looking at it, Yurov's muddy face became even more distorted, and he beckoned, and from behind the pillars in the cloister, another moon-robed man turned out, and silently carried the dead man away.

"Song Rang."

Yurov raised his foot to blur the four words, reflexively walked towards the house, and said as he walked: "His Royal Highness, it is Song Rang's hand, since Song Rang is in Jingcheng, presumably that fool is also there." ”

Song Boyo put down the bamboo slip in his hand and rolled it into a tube, his movements were very elegant, although he didn't see any of the words in it after half a night, but his demeanor seemed to be a little tired, rubbing his eyebrows like he was tired of reading the scroll: "I didn't expect him to come to Jingcheng, and I didn't expect that I would meet him here, my nephew." Yurov, tell me what you think. "The voice is neither high nor low, and the demeanor is noble, but it is smiling, as if it is approachable.

Yurov has been accustomed to the elegance and deliberate calmness of His Royal Highness the Prince, but he is a retainer of His Royal Highness, and the retainers cannot see the shortcomings from the lord, so he lowered his head and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness has entered Chen and Zhao this time, and the deeds you have done are in the community, and the years are in the future, this is an indelible fact, but has Your Highness ever thought about why the king will urgently summon His Highness to return to China when His Highness is about to succeed?" ”

Song Boyue thought for a while, frowned, and said: "Father Jun wants me to go back, naturally he has his reasons, as a subordinate, how dare he speculate selfishly." ”

This time, he came to Chen with Song Boyo, because after the Battle of Faqi, Song had a small territory between Chen and Zhaoguo that had not yet been divided, and Song Hou gave full authority to Song Boyo to deal with this territory in order to exercise his son. And this territory was left by Song Houke, and its role is naturally not so simple.

Song Boyo understood Song Hou's intentions, and after he came to Chen Guo, he informed Chen Hou and Zhaohou, saying that because the distance was too far to manage, he wanted to donate that land to the two countries, which successfully caused Chen and Zhaoguo to have a dispute, and then he wantonly provoked from it, which made Chen and Zhaoguo almost go to war.

However, he has gone too far, Chen Guo and Zhao Guo are both vassals of the Song State openly and secretly, if they really fight, the Song State will inevitably come out to uphold justice, and this kind of triangular dispute, most of the benefits will not be achieved afterwards, and it may even push the two countries to Dayong and Qiangqi, which are not far away, which is obviously not what Song Hou wants, so he ordered the witch to come and give him a good life and ask him to return to China immediately.

At this time, Yurov rolled a rotten one-eye, glanced at Song Boyo, who pretended to be calm, and said calmly: "Your Highness is bold, the current monarch is no longer the monarch of the past, he is over sixty years old, his eyes have gradually dimmed, and his ears are not clean, so he hopes that the wife of Song Guo will be peaceful, but in this way, when will Song Guo be able to compete with Yongqi?" Saying that, after waiting for a while, seeing that Song Boyo did not scold, he said: "However, now that the matter has come to this, we can only return to China according to the order, but what happened tonight, the minister thought that it was another gift from the Great God of Haotian to His Highness." ”

Song Boyu said: "How can you see it? ”

Yurov said: "Your Highness should know why the king married the marquis to Anguo, yes, he just wanted to take the opportunity to disturb Anguo, but the disappointing thing is that the son of the marquis will be a fool, and a fool cannot become a prince, so the king will be disappointed and no longer care about him." But now, the minister has determined that this son is not a fool, and now he is on his way to the Yan Kingdom. His Royal Highness is his uncle, and if His Highness invites him to the Song Kingdom, I don't think he should refuse, and he should not refuse. When he arrived in the Song Kingdom, His Royal Highness presented him to the king, and the king must be pleased. ”

Song Boyo fell into deep thought, this time he did a good job in the first half, just fulfilling his father's wishes, and the second half did a brilliant job, but he was reprimanded, how could there be no resentment in his heart, but he was not a monarch now, he could only swallow the resentment into his stomach, and he had to make a humble and filial appearance to show the world.

And this, he was actually very impatient, and quickly pondered the gains and losses in his heart, Anguo is different from Chen Guo and Zhaoguo, around Anguo, there is no Yong, Qi big country, and his actions will naturally be less restrained.

So, Song Boyo said indifferently: "Yes, if it weren't for the rush to return to China, I would still be in the rock city of Zhaoguo, listening to the nagging old man of Zhaoguo talking about the glorious deeds of his ancestors, if it weren't for my nephew who arrived in Jingcheng in a daze, we wouldn't have met by chance, what a bizarre coincidence, come to think of it, it must be the little sister who has a spirit in the sky, and I miss the love of my father, so I sent him to me." It's just that Song Rang and those iron warriors are by no means idle, in case my nephew's stupidity is committed again, can you be sure that he will be obedient? This is Jingcheng, Chen Guo's Guancheng! "The word 'Chen Guo' bites very hard.

Of course, Yurov knows that this is the Chen State and not the Song State, although the Chen State is a subject country of the Song State, but he may not obey his orders, and maybe he will secretly sabotage it, this is the current situation of the princes in the world, but he has already made up his mind: "Your Highness, don't worry, of course we won't come to the door, that would be too conspicuous, and he will go to the Yan Kingdom, he has to leave here, we just need to wait quietly somewhere." As for Song Rang and Tieshi, they are both Song people, and they will eventually be loyal to Song Hou, I think, they will know how to make trade-offs. ”

Song Boyo took a sip of tea elegantly and said, "You also said that Song Rang and Tieshi will eventually be loyal to Song Hou, but I am not Song Hou. ”

Yurov said: "Your Highness will be yes one day, if they don't know how to choose, then, Yin Yuewei may be able to teach a lesson." ”

"Don't take it lightly, the iron warriors who followed my little sister to Shaotai back then were the most elite iron warriors in the Song Kingdom, Yin Yuewei may not be their opponents, besides, if Yin Yuewei is too damaged, the monarch will be angry." Song Boyo said lightly.

After a while, Yurov laughed ruefully: "Your Highness, no matter how elite a warrior is, he can't dodge the dark arrow, and we happen to be in the shadows." ”

"Not bad."

……

A night of strife, and I can't sleep.

On the second day, the sun was still rising in the east, Ji Lie got up early in the morning, ready to visit Ji Huai, and he went to visit Ji Huai at this time, of course, there was only one purpose, that is, to clear the customs and literature.

Last night, when they buried the Yin Moon Guard, they gathered together to discuss countermeasures, and finally came to a result, that is, to leave Jingcheng as soon as possible, and ignore the intentions of the Yin Moon Guard, and the woman who was in the dark. This decision hurt Xiao Hei very much, and he felt that this showed that he, a witch official, was indeed very incompetent, and he couldn't even get a single document to clear the customs.

However, this is exactly what Ji Lie needs, although his guards are still standing firmly by his side under the leadership of Song Rang, but who can guarantee that they are still so firm in the face of Song Hou?

Luck is often the path to despair.

Ji Lie took the pot of chess given to him by Ji Huai, and walked in a flower creeping planted with gladiolus, gladiolus is a unique flower of Lu country, and the emblem of the marquis of Lu is a white elk with gladiolus on its head, this flower has tenacious vitality, it grows in the frozen gorge in Lu country, even in the ice and snow, it can also enchantfully bloom that belongs to its unique charm.

The courtyard where Ji Huai lived was behind this gladiolus, the deepest part of Moxiang Building, Ji Lie had passed once, he came to the green fence according to his memory, and knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock."

The crisp knock on the door startled the birds in the tree, they called in the courtyard, the sound was quite good, Ji Lie did not look up and look inside, this is the minimum etiquette when visiting the master, if the master is at home, he will open the door to welcome guests, if no one is at home, even if he looks, it is useless, and he will be regarded as a thief.

Of course, Ji Lie is not a thief, he waited for a while, but there was no movement in the courtyard, he wanted to take a look, but felt that it was inappropriate, the sun of April fell on his body, pulling down a long shadow, at this time, he saw his own shadow intertwined with another shadow, and his heart was happy, and he heard someone ask in the wall: "Excuse me, is it a thief?" "The sound is unique.

Ay?

Ji Lie was stunned, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, who would have believed that someone would ask such a question, because even a thief would never admit it, but the person in the courtyard asked very seriously, so he could only answer honestly: "No, I'm here to meet Master Ji, and I'm tired of spreading the word." ”

"Master Ji?"

The man in the courtyard was a little puzzled, and then, as if remembering something, he let out a meaningful "oh" and said, "Then please wait a moment, I'll ask." With that, the slender shadow quietly retreated, and there was no sound in the courtyard.

After waiting for a while, the fence door squeaked open.
