It was so cold that it seemed like the air had frozen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sound of drums coming from the square in front of the Taiji Hall hides a tragic emotion.

Fang Xiang's mask is a huge white face, and two pairs of angry eyes are depicted with gold powder paint in response to the ritual of "golden four eyes". Fang Xiang's eyes showed a fierce light, hoping to intimidate the evil ghosts with his demeanor. The fat actor wields a hand and a shield in the other, waving and striking at the ghosts that cannot be seen in the air around him.

The twelve divine beasts are: Jiazuo, Gas, Xiongbo, Tengjian, Lanzhu, Birch, Qiangliang, Zuming, Commission, Wrong Judgment, Qiqi, Tenggen. In fact, the so-called Twelve Divine Beasts themselves are not righteous and righteous characters. However, because it is fierce or evil, it restrains evil with its evil, and it is rumored to be a divine beast that can eat ghosts and ghosts. It can be seen that using evil to deal with evil is indeed a more practical truth.

But evil is not the same as evil. The evil of the Twelve Divine Beasts is only because of the prejudice of the world, such as death in vain or ugliness, and there is no real harm to the world. But the wickedness of evil spirits and evil spirits endangers the world. The twelve divine beasts use their ugliness to overcome evil and control evil, which can be regarded as a great contribution to the world.

One hundred and ten boys kept shaking the mole in their hands, and the rhythm of the big drum was like a mixture of thunder and rain. The masks of the twelve divine beasts are even more terrifying to show their fierceness. Everyone was shocked by this meeting, and at the same time was silent along with their own thoughts.

Lin Xingren, the regular attendant, followed by two eunuchs with bows and arrows, walked down the stone steps of the Taihe Palace. Lin Xingren first took a special peachwood bow and knelt down in front of Emperor Yuanshan, presented the bow with both hands, and shouted in his mouth, "Please shoot the evil man in his mouth." ”

Yuan Shanjian took the bow and held it in his hand, his eyes swept over the scene of the ritual that was still going on in front of him. Lin Xingren took the peach wood arrow from the hand of the eunuch kneeling behind him and presented it to the Son of Heaven, and asked the Son of Heaven to shoot again. This mahogany arrow is also specially made for the purpose of ceremonies. The body of the arrow is all made of peach wood, there is no cluster of arrows, it will not hurt people, but it can defeat evil spirits and cure ghosts.

The Son of Heaven took the peachwood arrow, and Lin Xingren got up. Holding another peachwood bow again, he hesitated in his heart, this bow was exactly the same as the one used by the Son of Heaven, there was no difference, I don't know which person had the intention to flatter it. But he quickly reflected, and walked up to Gao Cheng with a peach bow in both hands extremely respectfully.

"Ask the general to shoot the evil man." Lin Xingren knelt in front of Gao Cheng, raised his hands high, and presented the bow.

Gao Cheng didn't look at him, one hand reached out to catch the bow, and there was still no expression on his face.

Lin Xingren once again presented the peach wood arrow according to the example just now. It is still exactly the same as the use of the Son of Heaven.

Gao Cheng also didn't care about it, and took it casually.

Lin Xingren and the eunuchs retreated.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the Son of Heaven and the Great General.

To be exact, it was concentrated on the general Gao Cheng.

This is the first time that Gao Cheng has stood and sacrificed with the Son of Heaven in the ceremonial ceremony of the palace Dada. Before, it was his father, King Gao, who served the Son of Heaven and shot at him. The courtiers still remembered that even if they were high kings, they had to be humble again and again, and then they would be able to behave after the Son of Heaven shot them.

True or not, at least superficially respectful.

Although the general is young, he has no appearance of a subordinate.

The courtiers' response was okay. Situ Hou Jing, who was mixed in with the crowd, was extremely disappointed to find that apart from himself, at least on the surface, no one seemed to be surprised or dissatisfied with the general and the Son of Heaven shooting side by side. It seems like a natural thing to do.

He found that not only the courtiers, but even the clan like Gaoyang Wang Yuanbin were indifferent, and even watched with interest. He heard that Gaoyang Wang Yuanbin had been teased by Gao Cheng in Zhaoyang Palace, and danced Hu Teng dance in public to entertain the general. Hou Jing even suspected that Yuan Bin was really a person without heart and lungs.

The Son of Heaven and the Great General, the two of them stood side by side, with the same crown on their heads and dark sacrificial robes on their bodies, exactly the same outfit. The two of them are also men with a charming posture and a well-mannered manner, and even the posture of the bow and arrow is exactly the same at this time.

Yu Han covered his face, and only saw that the corners of Yuan Shanjian's lips were slightly curved upward, as if there was a hint of a smile. And the perfect line of Gao Cheng's jaw outlines a cold state. The sound of the drums was much lower than just now, and the ritual of fighting ghosts and exorcising ghosts was nearing the end, just waiting for the Son of Heaven to shoot that arrow. Symbolically shoot the demon, and the ritual can be over.

Suddenly, with a "whoosh", a peachwood arrow burst out of the air.

Hou Jing could see it clearly in the crowd, and he deliberately shouted, "The Son of Heaven shoots his gods, the society is stable, and the world is stable!" ”

Many people who were squeezed behind and did not see clearly listened to the shout of the leader, fearing that they would fall behind, and they also cheered loudly. The drums faded down, but the shouts came and went.

Yuan Zen was shocked when he saw it.

The arrow was shot by Gao Cheng, and Gao Cheng slowly lowered his arm at this time, and casually handed the mahogany bow behind him. A eunuch who was with him hurriedly took it.

Yuan Shanjian only raised his arm slightly upwards at this time, and shot the peach arrow that belonged to him into the air. He is better at martial arts than Gao Chengli, as long as he uses a little force, then the peach wood arrow will fly up.

"The general's divine shooting, get rid of the evil and get rid of the evil, and the family and country are stable!" However, the cheers had already subdued.

Hou Jing laughed secretly in the center of the crowd, and he deliberately hid back. As he stepped back, he suddenly felt a foot on something. I was shocked, and when I looked back, it was actually the left servant who shot Sima Ziru staring at him with a smile on his face. Hou Jing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and secretly rejoiced.

"Situ Gong wants to guard against people." Sima Ziru said with a smile. "What a coincidence, it's not the first time that Situ Gong has stepped on the old man."

Hou Jing said with a smile, "Altay's mistake is also, don't blame Sima Servant for shooting." The servant is always behind the person, so what can I do? Without waiting for Sima Ziru to argue, Hou Jing smiled again, "Brother Zunye is very kind. Altay hadn't seen King Gao for a long time, and thought that he would be able to meet in Yedu, but he didn't expect King Gao to be seriously ill, which was embarrassing. "He looked like he was about to burst into tears." Brother Zunye is a close friend of King Gao, and seeing Brother Zunye in Altay's heart is like seeing King Gao. He grabbed Sima Ziru and pulled up his big sleeves to hide his face and wipe away his tears.

Sima Ziru pulled Hou Jing and dragged him to the back of the crowd, looking surprised and smiling, "What Situ said, why don't I know anything about it?" King Gao's arrow in the jade wall is not fake, but he is injured in his foot, and it is inconvenient to move. The Son of Heaven was afraid that Jinyang would have a long way to Yecheng, and King Gao's foot injury would be hindered, so King Gao was specially ordered to wait for the injury to heal and then enter Ye Hajj. The grace of the Son of Heaven, is King Gao unable to accept it? I don't know why Situ is so suspicious? Wouldn't it be unpleasant to let the general know? ”

Sima Ziru has always been good at words, and asked Hou Jing dumbfounded. On the contrary, he became a rumor-monger, and was even put by Sima Ziru in the name of deliberately going against the general. Hou Jing really hated it in his heart, and he had to laugh on the surface.

"Brother Zunye is really wonderful." Hou Jing pulled Sima Ziru's sleeve again, wiped his snot and saliva again, and laughed, "Solve the confusion in Altay's heart, so you can have no worries." He wiped enough, smiled, and then stared at Sima Ziru very seriously and asked again, "Is King Gao really fine?" ”

Sima Ziru looked disdainful and replied, "The queen is pregnant, and I heard that Mrs. Lou is going to enter the palace to accompany the queen." With such a big happy event, how could King Gao not come? Don't you know that Taibao Sun Teng has gone to Jinyang? It was the Son of Heaven who ordered him to go to Jinyang to see the opportunity to act. If King Gao's foot injury heals a little, he will escort King Gao to Yecheng. ”

Sima Ziru said it in a fog, and Hou Jing was also skeptical when he heard it. But he suddenly thought that when it came to closeness, Sima Ziru was closer than Sun Tenglai. If Gao Huan was really in danger of his life, how could he not summon Sima Ziru to Jinyang?

In addition, not only the prince Gao Cheng, but even the idler of Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang did not go to Jinyang. Maybe Gao Huan is really fine? He breathed a sigh of relief for a moment.

The ritual is over there. The man who played the role of Fang Xiangshi stepped forward, handed over the Ge and shield in his hand to the eunuch, and laboriously removed the mask from his head with the assistance of the eunuch. The miserable white mask was taken off, and it turned out to be Cui Jishu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate.

The mask was removed, and his hair was a little messy with a silver hairpin. Maybe it was because he took off his mask and was rubbed, or it could be because he performed too hard just now, and although his hair was barely tied, his hair was already flying. A white and fat face seemed to be covered with a layer of rouge, revealing pink, and only the forehead was covered with sweat, as if it had been washed with water.

Cui Jishu walked to the emperor and knelt down, and after bowing, his breath was still undecided. "Cui Jishu, the servant of the Yellow Gate, congratulates the Lord on removing the evil man, the stability of the country, and the joy of inheriting the heir."

Seeing that he was in a pretty good mood, Yuan Shanshan stepped forward and helped Cui Jishu up with his own hands, and laughed, "Cui Shilang has worked hard." He took Cui Jishu's hand and didn't let go, looked at Cui Jishu's face carefully and said with a smile, "The waiter is really a good color." He turned his head to glance at Gao Cheng on the side again, then turned his head and smiled at Cui Jishu, "It does complement the general." ”

The joke in this remark silenced the large square, which had just been noisy and towering. The tragic sense of Wuyi was also swept away at this time. In the first place, Yuan Shanjian should not have said such words. That is to say, it should not be said at this time. And the Son of Heaven was not like this before, he has always been cautious, and this time it was a bit unexpected.

Yuan Shan looked at Gao Cheng provocatively, as if he intended to stimulate Gao Cheng with this kind of joke. It seems to be waiting for Gao Cheng to be furious. Not only Yuan Shanjian, but secretly I don't know how many people are waiting to see Gao Cheng's attitude.

Cui Jishu also felt embarrassed, and looked at Gao Cheng a little uneasily.

Gao Cheng slowly turned to Yuan Shanjian.

The two people also looked at each other through the colorful jade that covered their faces.

I don't know how long it was silent. It's not a long moment, but it seems like a long one. This moment is not only because of the cold, but also because of the tension, the air seems to be frozen.

Gao Cheng suddenly laughed, and the multicolored jade shook with it, and his emerald eyes flashed with a touching heart. His Majesty joked like this, and the minister did not dare to respond. The minister does not have the fetish of dragon yang. He suddenly stared at Motozen and took a step. Then he slowly walked over step by step, until he walked to Wonshan to meet and oppose him. The distance between two people is only between the two people.

"Even if the minister has the love of broken sleeves, he won't want a fat person like Cui Shilang," his voice was so low that only those who approached him could hear it.

The courtiers who were still standing in the square all watched the emperor and the general. I knew they were whispering, but I couldn't hear anything, and they all looked curiously.

"Your Majesty's color is overwhelming, isn't it countless times better than Cui Shilang? If you really want to have this love, you should also love Your Majesty, it won't be Cui Shilang. Gao Cheng was taller than Yuan Shan, lowered his head slightly, and whispered a laugh in his ear.

Yuan Shanjian's face changed suddenly, and he let go of Cui Jishu's hand.

The courtiers only saw that the emperor was just smiling, and the general was angry. Now I see that the situation has completely reversed, and it has become a great general laughing, and the emperor is angry. In an instant, there were countless speculations in my heart.

Yuan Shanjian quickly eased up, glanced at the ministers, and smiled at Gao Cheng again, "It's Gu who said it wrong." Even Liang Shi knew about the general's outnumbered disease. The general doesn't like men, only loves women, and I heard that everyone in the world knows that the general is good. ”

Gao Cheng didn't speak, but just glanced at the ministers in the square as if he had heard and didn't hear, and then smiled at Yuan Shanjian, "Your Majesty, the courtiers have been standing here for a long time, and the weather is cold, please have mercy on the old ministers, and the ceremony of the great lady will be dispersed, right?" The palace banquet of Zhaoyang Hall is also the hour. ”

Yuan Shanjian took Gao Cheng around the white jade platform of the Taiji Hall and walked towards the back of the hall, and the Zhaoyang Hall was behind the Taiji Palace. As he walked, he smiled and said, "The general is also tired." He and Gao Cheng held each other, looked at Gao Cheng and said with a smile, "From Gao Zhongmi's rebellion in the Tiger Prison, the general led the army to quell the rebellion, and then went west to Tongguan, not only pacified the traitors, but also recovered the lost passes, punished the Emperor of the West Thieves, and wiped out the six armies of Yuwen Black Otter, which is an immortal achievement." The general is the Great Wei Optimus Pillar Stone, the minister of the lonely humerus. It's just that this immortal merit doesn't know how to reward the general. I also saw that the general was always depressed and worried after returning to Yecheng, and I don't know what the general has on his mind? Lonely or can be a solution for the general. Lone heard that King Gao was sick, in previous years, the ceremony of the big man was always King Gao on Lone's side, and once King Gao was not seen today, Lone was very worried in his heart. Could it be that the Great General is also for this? ”

"The minister is just running around and toiling." Gao Cheng was carried by Yuan Shanjian, and only replied to him lightly. He naturally understands the truth that if you say too much, you will lose. Too much explanation is more suspicious, it is better not to say anything.

Biyuan Shanjian still refused to let him go, and laughed, "The general knows that he has worked hard and is lonely, and he is distressed in his heart." If you want to come to a rare treasure, the general may not take it into account, and he is willing to vote for the general's favor. After the palace banquet, the general should not be in a hurry to leave the palace, and he summoned a person to see the general. The general must have rejoiced when he saw this man. Lone wants to give this person to the general, if the general can smile badly, Lone will be comforted in his heart. ”

As he spoke, he had already walked to the Zhaoyang Palace.

Yuan Shanjian's words, Gao Cheng didn't understand too clearly. I don't know what strange reward he is going to give, I don't know who he means. He didn't have the heart to guess a riddle with him right now. It can only be an opportunity. So he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Zhaoyang Hall has arrived." ”

So the courtiers saw the emperor and the general talking and laughing together. (To be continued.) )
