Dongfang Yuanxing's status in Datang is unattainable, and it is rare to encounter such an opportunity today that can be close to Xiangguotao, and no one is stupidly willing to leave in advance.

The banquet was in full swing, but it was no longer attractive to Tang An, who had successfully completed the task, so he took Liu Tingge back with him after confessing his guilt early.

When I returned to the Flying Snow Orchid Pavilion, it was already late at night.

The two quietly entered the house through the back door, for fear of disturbing the dreams of others. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Feng Zhilan leading a person downstairs, and it seemed that he was about to send off guests.

The man was dressed in a military uniform with a dark red cloak around his back, and he appeared to be a soldier. He is about forty years old, his dark face is angular, the slight accumulation of stubble makes him a little more manly, a pair of bright eyes like a sword out of the sheath, a straight nose with tightly pursed lips, proving that he has always been unsmiling. A glance will give people a sense of oppression.

The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years. The middle-aged man in front of him is definitely a warrior who has been tempered by blood and fire.

Feng Zhilan saw Tang An and the others, a trace of red cloud flashed on her face, she coughed embarrassedly, and said, "Tang An, Qinge, why did you come back so early?" ”

"Oh, I'm afraid that you're in a hurry, sister, so I'll send you back first."

Tang An said casually, looking at the man beside Feng Zhilan curiously. In his impression, Feng Zhilan has always been clean and self-conscious, and on weekdays, he mingles with dignitaries and dignitaries for the business of Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion, but it is just a show, and he has never really shown special emotions to any man. But the man in front of him appeared here in the middle of the night, what is the relationship between him and Feng Zhilan?

There must be adultery!

Liu Tingge seemed to be very familiar with this man, and smiled sweetly: "Uncle Peng, you are here!" ”

Uncle Na Peng nodded, still with a frosty face, and said, "The song is back." ”

Feng Zhilan sighed and said, "Let me introduce, this is General Peng of the Xiyu Wei Expedition, and this is Lord Tang Antang, the reception envoy of the Great Snow Mountain." ”

"You're Tang An?"

"You're General Peng?"

The two said in unison, looking like they had heard of each other.

Feng Zhilan was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you know each other?" “

"Although I don't know him, Tang An has been friends with General Peng for a long time." For these soldiers who defend the country, Tang An respects them from the bottom of his heart, and says with a touch of respect: "The emperor has posted the emperor's list and appointed General Peng as the vanguard of the summer war. Tang An can't go to the battlefield in person, so he can only wish General Peng a triumphant return! ”

Peng Yuanzheng hugged his fists and said: "Being able to gain the emperor's trust and be the reception envoy of the Great Snow Mountain, Tang Gongzi's ability can be seen." Fairy Murong means a lot to my Tang Dynasty, and Tang Gongzi will have to worry more in the future. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, Tang An will definitely do his best." Tang An said, looking at Peng Yuanzheng with four eyes, quite a bit of a hero among heroes.

"Okay, you two don't flatter each other." Feng Zhilan said, "Expedition, you just returned to Beijing, and you haven't reunited with Zhao'an yet, go back quickly." “

Expedition? It's so intimate, and you say that there is no adultery? Tang An thought in his heart, and suddenly remembered that when he first came to Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion, Feng Zhilan had said that he was the second man to step into the third layer, and the first one must be the man in front of him.

It turned out that it had already gotten better, what a pair of adulterers and adulteresses who had no matchmaker!

Peng Yuanzheng nodded and arched his hand: "Then I will leave first." “

"General Peng, let's go together." Tang An also saw Feng Zhilan's embarrassment, and went out with the general.

Closing the door, Liu Qinge grinned, stepped forward to hold Feng Zhilan's arm, and said, "Mother, when are you and Uncle Peng going to have a happy event?" ”

Feng Zhilan's face flushed, and she said, "You girl, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"People are not talking nonsense. The friendship between you and Uncle Peng can be seen even by the blind. Liu Qingge said, "Mother, you are not young anymore. One of you is affectionate and the other is intentional, so why not be together? ”

Feng Zhilan's face darkened, and she said, "In this matter, both of us have problems. His lifelong dream is to expand his territory and let my Datang banner be planted all over Kyushu. And I am a dancing girl, if he marries me, he will not be criticized, and his future career will definitely be affected. He didn't care about these, but he was afraid that if he was handsome, he would ruin the life of my Tang Dynasty son. ”

"Unify the world? That Qi country..."Liu Tingge's face was sad. Qi country, isn't it Feng Zhilan's motherland?

Feng Zhilan smiled bitterly: "This is also the reason why I can't be with him." How can I be with an executioner who will most likely be the slaughterer of my fellow human beings in the future? ”

Put yourself in your shoes, if Tang An is a native of Qi and takes the army of tigers and wolves to become a butcher who invades the territory of the Tang Dynasty, then if he is with her, won't he become a traitor to the Tang Dynasty? How heavy a burden will you have to carry?

What could be more torturous than being in love but not being together? Looking at Feng Zhilan with a face full of regret, Liu Qingge sighed, and suddenly felt that he was much happier than his mother.

After a moment of silence, Liu Qingge suddenly said: "By the way, mother, I saw Feng Zhiyao today!" ”

"Feng Zhiyao..."Feng Zhilan heard this name, and couldn't tell what kind of feeling was in her heart. Is she okay now? ”

"She wants to be windy and rainy now, how can it be bad? She also said she wanted to see you in person. Liu Tingge said, took Feng Zhilan's hand, and said with a resolute look in his eyes: "Mother, don't worry, Qinge will definitely practice dancing well and regain the first place in the world that once belonged to you." ”

Feng Zhilan was moved in her heart, knowing that Liu Tingge did this all for herself. took her into his arms and said, "What is the first in the world, it's just some floating clouds." Mother only hopes that you will be happy in this life, and that is enough. ”

"Mother!"

Liu Qingge called out and hugged Feng Zhilan tightly.

Before the two of them could appreciate the silence of the moment, there was a knock on the door.

Feng Zhilan's face was unhappy. At this time, Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion has already closed, and the people who come are definitely not here to enjoy dancing and drinking. And with her Feng Zhilan's status today, no one really dares to come and make trouble.

"Who could it be at such a late hour?" Liu Tingge said, but still walked through the hall and opened the wooden door that had already been locked.

Outside the door, a woman in a maroon robe bathed in the night, the moonlight sprinkled on her, her graceful silhouette and delicate face under the moonlight, as if she was Chang'e from the Moon Palace.

The fiery red mark between the woman's eyebrows was slightly raised with her forehead, and her gentle and charming eyes swept into the room, and said, "Excuse me, is Feng Zhilan there?" ”

Liu Qinge was stunned for a moment and said, "Feng... Feng everyone?
