Shanglin Garden, Imperial Garden.

Snowflakes are flying, like catkins dancing, fluttering. The initial snow was slow, and the north wind blew and slowly tightened.

The catkins turned into goose feathers, and they were scattered one after another, and the top of the palace, the wall, and the branches were all white.

The jade tree is covered in silver, and the heavy snow decorates the magnificent scenery of nature.

Compared with the overwhelming snow, those artificially decorated red flowers and green leaves are insignificant, and even a little funny.

Yang Guang did not have a Huang Luo umbrella above his head, and he ran like a child in the imperial garden, letting the snowflakes fall on his body unscrupulously, but the top of his head was steaming, and he looked interested.

Beside him was Chen Xuanhua, who was weak and couldn't help the wind, and from time to time he picked up a handful of snow like a child and threw it at Yang Guang, Yang Guang didn't dodge, just chased Chen Xuanhua.

When he hugged Chen Xuanhua, Yang Guang kissed him heavily, breathed a long sigh of relief, let go of Chen Xuanhua, and continued to play this chasing game, and he didn't get tired of it.

When Xiao Buyi saw Yang Guang chatting about juvenile madness, he didn't have any expression.

Yang Guang hasn't gotten tired of it, but he's tired of it. What he was tired of was not the game, but Yang Guang's capriciousness.

After his move was followed by Yuwen, Kyoto has always been calm, peaceful and tranquil, but behind this there is a strong murderous intention, Xiao Buyi knows it.

There was a gentle cough around him, Xiao Buyi turned his head to look over, and saw Pei Mingcui's cheeks flushed, and he was secretly shocked.

"It's windy and snowy, Miss Pei go back and rest."

Pei Mingcui looked at the two chasing in the garden, and suddenly asked, "This Chen Xuanhua looks naïve." ”

Xiao Buyi understood what she meant, "Isn't it different from the previous Mrs. Chen?" ”

"It's exactly the same on the outside."

Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "Is she really invulnerable?" ”

"It's just the same." Pei Mingcui sneered: "Although the previous aunt was naïve, she knew the general situation, she advised the saint to focus on thrift and the world, but now it seems that she can't wait for the saint to have fun with her all day long." ”

"Maybe she wants to make up for her past regrets." Xiao Buyi said.

Pei Mingcui knew Xiao Buyi's perfunctory, and asked with some expectation, "Brother Xiao has always been quick-witted, I don't know how to expose her truth?" ”

"Now everyone knows that Chen Xuanhua is fake, the saint is not stupid, he just doesn't want to believe it. He would rather dream than wake up, and you should know the final result of breaking illusions. Miss Pei, you used to be shrewd and calm, but why are you so persistent this time? ”

Pei Mingcui said gloomily: "There are some things that you have to do even if you know the result." ”

**"Mingcui, what are you talking about with General Xiao, so speculative? Yang Guang finally walked over with Chen Xuanhua's hand, smiling.

Chen Xuanhua slanted sideways, passed past the two of them, and suddenly covered his mouth and smiled: "Shengshang, don't you think General Xiao and Mingcui are a good match?" ”

Pei Mingcui's face changed, Yang Guang didn't pay attention, just smiled: "Mingcui is not married, General Xiao is not married, if it is ......"

"I don't know what the saint is looking for Mingcui to come here?" Pei Mingcui truncated Yang Guang's following.

Yang Guang didn't think it was angry, and finally saw the displeasure on Pei Mingcui's face, and his heart softened.

In any case, Pei Mingcui has always been loyal to him, and he is also a lover. Although Li Xuanba is dead, in her mind, she obviously never forgets it. Thinking of his grief after Chen Xuanhua's death, Yang Guang sighed lightly, "Mingcui, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Pei Mingcui looked up, her eyes filled with tears, "Thank you for your concern." ”

Chen Xuanhua's eyes flickered, and he said softly: "Mingcui, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"It's surprising that Mrs. Chen is still so young."

Pei Mingcui inadvertently reminded Yang Guang that Chen Xuanhua had been dead for ten years, and he could still be the same as before, which was very problematic. Yang Guang laughed, "Mingcui, how did you get started, in the past, you used to call your aunt, how can you call Mrs. Chen today?" ”

"Because I know that Mrs. Chen ...... today"

Pei Mingcui heard Yang Guang's nostalgia, and her blood surged for a while, so she had to wake up Yang Guang desperately. Xiao Buyi coughed lightly and said: "Today's Mrs. Chen came back from the dead, she must have seen through life and death a long time ago, and most of the titles have long been ignored. ”

Pei Mingcui sighed and said, "General Xiao speaks with great skill, but it is like what I think. ”

Yang Guang said with a smile: "What General Xiao said is also in line with my wishes, since Xuanhua returned, I have been thinking that there are many cycles of happiness and happiness, and many things are destined by cause and effect, and cannot be forced." ”

Xiao Buyi couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Yang Guang suddenly become a philosopher.

Chen Xuanhua pursed his lips and smiled: "Holy Lord, what you said recently is the same as that of a senior monk. It's just that many things in the saint have been thought about, which makes the concubine very happy. Over the years, the concubine has been thinking that most of the concubine did something wrong in her previous life, which caused the separation of the concubine and the saint. If you want to never be separated from the Holy One, you must do more good deeds in the future. ”

Yang Guang hugged Chen Xuanhua and said with great affection: "Xuanhua, what can you do wrong with a lovely person like you." If there's anything wrong, I'll just be responsible. ”

Chen Xuanhua shook his head, "How does this make everything have a cause and effect." Didn't the Holy One hear what the high monk said, if you know the cause of the previous life, you will receive it in this life, and if you know the result of the next life, what you will do in this life is? If the concubine body leaves everything to the saint, then she is afraid that in the next life, the concubine body will no longer be with the saint. The concubine body should try to start from herself, do more good deeds, and persuade the saint to do so, then you and I can live and live forever together. ”

Yang Guang was quite moved, and said emotionally: "Xuanhua, I have you in my life, and I have no regrets." ”

Xiao Buyi saw that Yang Guang had forgotten all about the great cause, and was somewhat moved, secretly thinking that if Chen Xuanhua really matched his words and deeds, what would happen to her by Yang Guang's side. Yang Guang seems to be on top, but he has no one who has been close to himself all his life, he always does everything he thinks alone, and normal people are estimated to go crazy, let alone Yang Guang. But the most ironic thing in the world is this, Yang Guang met someone who was close to him, but he also had the idea of calculation, and Pei Mingcui wanted to eradicate her with all her heart. However, Chen Xuanhua has heard the words he said, it is from the mouth of Daoxin, could it be that Daoxin has finally arrived in the Eastern Capital?

Pei Mingcui just sneered, Rao is full of scheming, and there is nothing she can do when she encounters such a water-like person.

The moment she knew that Chen Xuanhua was sent by Yuwenshu, she decided that they had a conspiracy, and this Chen Xuanhua was probably another Yuxi or Daji, and now her gentleness and persuasion are just appearances. But this is the simplest move, but Pei Mingcui can't deal with it. She had already arranged eyeliner in the palace to monitor Chen Xuanhua's every move, but since she arrived at the saint's side, everything she has done is beyond reproach, and Pei Mingcui has nothing to do, so she asks Xiao Buyi for advice.

"By the way, I came to you to prepare for the New Year's Uncovered Conference." Yang Guang groaned: "Mingcui, Buyi, you are now the most trusted person like Xuanhua, and this uncovered conference must also be prepared by you." ”

Xiao Buyi was dazed, "What is the uncovered conference?" ”

Pei Mingcui knew it in her chest, "General Xiao, this uncovered conference was originally a Buddhist festival based on charity. Uncovered means to be tolerant of everything, regardless of good and evil. The Holy Mansion is kind-hearted, and it is really a great merit to prepare for this uncovered meeting in the New Year. ”

Chen Xuanhua clapped his hands and smiled: "Holy Lord, is it really? Are you really willing to listen to the persuasion of the concubine to hold an uncovered conference to help the people of the world? ”

She was wearing Mi Luo this time, although she covered her pretty face, her words were innocent, even if Xiao Buyi heard it, she was a little confused, and she couldn't be equated with the femme fatale for a while.

Yang Guang said softly: "Xuanhua, what you asked me for, which one didn't I do for you?" ”

Chen Xuanhua sighed with satisfaction: "Thank you, the concubine is grateful. ”

Pei Mingcui was awe-inspiring in her heart, knowing that Chen Xuanhua's scars in the mind of the saint were really heavy, and she couldn't be too hasty, otherwise she would lose the whole game if she was not careful.

**When several people had their own thoughts, the palace people hurried over with Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Xiao Buyi had no deep friendship with him in the past, but in the siege of Yanmen, he knew that this person dared to tell the truth, and he was also a loyal minister in a group of ministers.

"Fan Aiqing, the uncovered conference will be up to you and Mingcui, and General Xiao will start to prepare for perfection." Yang Guang commanded.

"Holy Lord, I don't agree with you." Chen Xuanhua pouted.

If it was someone else, Yang Guang would have been furious, it can be seen that Chen Xuanhua was opposed, and he just smiled: "Xuanhua has found my mistake again?" ”

Chen Xuanhua said seriously: "Holy Lord, there is no perfect thing in the world, and if you can't ask for it, it will only increase your troubles. Besides, the uncovered assembly is only for charity and equality, and if you have the energy to pay attention to form, it is better to do more things for the people. ”

Xiao Buyi finally said: "What Mrs. Chen said is very true, and Weichen also thinks the same. ”

Chen Xuanhua smiled, and his water-cut eyes swept over Xiao Buyi, "I have heard for a long time that General Xiao is loyal to the country, and it seems that it is true." ”

Yang Guang laughed and said: "Xuanhua, what you said is very wrong, this Xiao Buyi has a stubborn temper and has always liked to talk back to me, but I can't do anything about him." ”

"I'm not wrong, the Holy One has always been a bitter medicine, and his words are contrary to his ears." Chen Xuanhua said softly: "General Xiao always talks back, which shows that he is a loyal minister. ”

Yang Guang groaned slightly, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "It seems that in addition to Xiao Buyi, I have to have many people around me. ”

Chen Xuanhua smiled, knowing that Yang Guang was talking about himself, and said coquettishly: "Don't you want to listen to the words of the concubine?" ”

"Listen, listen! As long as it is what you say, I will listen to it. Yang Guangda smiled, looking very happy.

Xiao Buyi saw that the two were affectionate, and looked at Chen Xuanhua again, revealing surprise.

Pei Mingcui frowned, most men are soft-hearted, and they are always too indulgent to beauty, even Xiao Buyi can't resist Chen Xuanhua's gentle means, let alone the saint.

After thinking about it, Pei Mingcui was awe-inspiring again, and she had been with Xiao Buyi for a long time, and knew that he was definitely not a person who was moved by women. Although he is now a general, he can be generous and chivalrous and not let others, he agrees with Chen Xuanhua's opinion, not hers, and this approach should be done by loyal ministers. Although Chen Xuanhua's suggestion was also done by Pei Mingcui who had been persuading Yang Guang, it can be seen that Yang Guang was persuaded by Chen Xuanhua and obeyed his words, but he couldn't figure out her intentions, and he was even more vigilant in his heart.

Yang Guang frowned again after laughing, "But I am going to be with you that day, if it is not gorgeous......"

"Along with the Holy One, Hell is also a fairyland." Chen Xuanhua said in a low voice.

Yang Guang pondered for a long time, and then made up his mind, "Okay, according to what Xuanhua said, Fan Shangshu, the Uncovered Assembly strives to be frugal, and the things that can be given must not be simple." ”

Fan Zigai was overjoyed and said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

**Xiao Buyi and the three of them went out of Shanglin Yuan, Pei Mingcui left early under the pretext of having something, but Fan Zigai said with a smile: "The matter of the Uncovered Conference is quite important, and it is really important to hand it over to General Xiao. The old man is mostly assisting this time, if there is anything wrong, please ask General Xiao to correct it. ”

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Fan thinks too highly of me, if you talk about the courage of the horseman, I am the one who will not give in, but if you want to say that there is no cover to organize a conference, I am not capable enough, and I don't know anything." The saint let Lord Fan take charge, and please work more for those who can do it, and don't shirk it. ”

Fan Zigai smiled and said: "If you can, you don't dare to resign." Everyone should do their best, then in a few days, I will tell General Xiao about the specific actions of the Wusha Conference, and ask General Xiao to take a look. ”

"That's the best." Xiao Buyi said happily, and suddenly remembered something, "Lord Fan, I don't know if there will be a senior monk at the Wusha Conference?" ”

"There are Zen monks and monks, and there are monks who travel around the Central Plains."

Xiao Buyi is not surprised, his heart turns out to be old acquaintances, this senior monk is quite fearless, is it to persuade Yang Guang here?

The two did not have a deep relationship, so they wanted to say goodbye, Fan Zigai suddenly said: "General Xiao, the old man has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Xiao Buyi stopped, "Lord Fan is polite, please speak." ”

"The old man and General Xiao are ministers in the same hall, but they rarely have any contact. It's just that in the battle of Yanmen, General Xiao was not afraid of hardships and thousands of miles of news, fought bloodily, held the city day and night, broke the tricks of the Turks, and ensured the safety of Yanmen City, which made the old man happy and convinced. ”

"What a duty thing." Xiao Buyi said modestly.

Fan Zigai sighed lightly: "Lord Xiao was promoted to the general of the Right Xiaowei because of this, which is really an unprecedented thing to create the Great Sui, but according to the old man, Lord Xiao is enough to take this position." ”

Xiao Buyi couldn't understand what he was going to say, so he could only say vaguely: "Lord Fan raises love." ”

"But in the matter of the Acropolis, although General Xiao has the most credit, those soldiers are also hard," Fan Zigai muttered: "However, after the Holy Lord returned to the Eastern Capital, he always felt that the reward was too heavy, and he regretted it." Although the old man admonished that it was not appropriate to break his promise, he was soft-spoken and could not change the mind of the saint. The Holy Lord asked Suna to cut the reward, but I am afraid that the generals will be dissatisfied and have different hearts......"

Xiao Buyi finally understood, "Does Lord Fan want me to persuade the saint?" ”

Fan Zigai waved his hand, "General Xiao has this intention, I think the officers and soldiers of the three armies are full of hospitality, but there is no need to bother General Xiao to go out, because later the saint changed his mind." ”

Xiao Buyi was surprised, "Why?" ”

It is really not easy to make Yang Guang change his mind, as soon as Xiao Buyi spoke, he already thought of something, "Is it Mrs. Chen's credit?" ”

Fan Zigai nodded and said: "What General Xiao said is true, after Mrs. Chen knew about this, she strongly advised the saint to say that the army's spirit should not be lost, so that the saint rewarded the Yanmen general, which is really gratifying for me." She believed in Buddhism quite a lot, and invited the Holy and Taoist monks to talk about the Dharma, which made the Holy Monks much kinder. ”

Xiao Buyi was even more stunned, but Fan Zigai arched his hand and said: "General Xiao, the old man has said all this, and he will leave first." ”

Fan Zigai has been gone for a long time, and Xiao Buyi is still pondering the intention of his words.

Chen Xuanhua would actually persuade Yang Guang to reward the Yanmen generals, what was her intention?

Although he has only met Chen Xuanhua a few times, Chen Xuanhua's feeling for Xiao Buyi is not a bad face, but a good prescription for the world.

Under her persuasion, he hurt Yu Wenshi and not only innocent, but meritorious, under her leadership, although Yang Guang ignored the government, but has turned the annual grand meeting in the eastern capital into an uncovered conference, the people benefited, in her company, Yang Guang's surname was less violent and paranoid, it seemed to tend to be normal, under her persuasion, the Yanmen generals also benefited a lot.

What she did was really beyond reproach, no wonder Pei Mingcui couldn't do it for a long time.

But what did Fan Zigai mean by saying this, most of the time these ministers had already seen the battle in the eastern capital, and understood that he, Pei Mingcui and Empress Xiao were together, of course, they had to find a way to deal with Yuwenshu and Chen Xuanhua, so they spoke out to dissuade them, so many of the ministers stood on Chen Xuanhua's side?

But if Chen Xuanhua is a good person, it is a big mistake for Yuwenshu to dedicate it, with Yuwenshu's experience, how can he offer this kind of person? If Chen Xuanhua is a good person, how can Yu Wenshu's annihilation plan be implemented?

Xiao Buyi couldn't think of the essentials, but at this time, he had already ridden back to the Eastern Capital.

Snowflakes fluttered along the way, shrouding the vast land, and there were few human tracks. Xiao Buyi knew that compared with last year, the Dongdu was much more depressed, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Entering from the Jianguo Gate in the south of the Eastern Capital, Xiao Buyi was not in a hurry to turn back to the Taifu Mansion. He didn't go to the early dynasty, but he just wore ordinary clothes to go to Lin Yuan to face the saint, and walked to the alley of the eastern capital without being guarded by. The weather is cold, and it is really pleasant to find a restaurant to drink a bowl of wine.

But after passing the Jianguo Gate, and not going too far, a few people rushed over and shouted in a low voice: "Boss Xiao." ”

Xiao Buyi was slightly surprised when he saw that it was Ah Rust, Zhou Muru and Fat Huai, "Something happened?" ”

The three of them all hugged their shoulders and shrank their heads in the cold, and shook their heads together, "No, the owner of the village sees that we are fine, so let us come out to take a look, we are also afraid that something will happen to you." ”

Xiao Buyi's heart was moved, knowing that several brothers knew that it was difficult for him to survive a day, he hurt Yu Wenshi, and it was inevitable that someone would fight back, Xiao Dapeng's worries were normal. The brothers' martial arts are too far from him now, although they can't help much, but the habit of fighting side by side is still there.

He knows the importance of martial arts, and he understands that bearded people don't cherish themselves, so in his spare time, he also picked up some of the methods of practicing qi from the Yi Jin Jing to teach his brothers, but the three of them are all practicing qi, but they have never been able to grasp the essentials, and they can't help but make Xiao Buyi wonder.

However, Xi Wu couldn't ask for it, Xiao Buyi could only go with the flow, and when he saw the three of them being frozen, he smiled and said, "Go drink and warm up." ”

The three of them were applauded, and they chose a restaurant to go in, and the bartender invited them upstairs, and the fire was blazing, which was quite warm.

There are also a lot of drinkers upstairs, and there are a few drunken people at one table, shouting five and six, which is quite noisy, which makes the diners next to them frown.

Ah Ru frowned and said, "It's very noisy here, why don't you change it?" ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "The stables have been stayed, what is this." We just drink and we can manage so much. ”

The three brothers all nodded, asked for a few side dishes, and warmed the wine.

After Zhou Muru drank a few bowls of wine, he suddenly sighed and looked sad. Fat Huai was eating happily, and asked puzzledly: "Mu Ru, don't worry about eating and drinking now, what are you doing with a sigh?" ”

Zhou Muru glanced at Xiao Buyi and said, "Boss Xiao, it's cold now, and I don't know how the grassland is. ”

Xiao Buyi looked out the window, only to see snowflakes flying, and said a little melancholy: "Mo Feng and the arrow are both in the grassland, and I don't know if I can get used to it." ”

When he talked about Mo Feng's arrow, he couldn't help but think of Meng Chenxue, that woman who was as weak as water, what was she doing at the moment?

"People are forced out, and the grassland people have their own ways to deal with it." Fat Huai continued to drink, "Mu Ru, you are worrying about the sky, maybe when you are worried, Mo Feng hugged the beauty in front of the cow dung, up and down his hands, and was happy." ”

Everyone laughed, thinking about Mo Feng's burning of cow dung, and thought it was not bad. Zhou Muru said sadly: "I think that when we seven brothers were together, we were also happy. Mo Feng and Arrow don't have to worry, but why is there still no news from Dezhi, and he has been away from the Eastern Capital for a year, right? ”

Fat Huai fell silent at this time, everyone had a sense of ominousness, and Yang Dezhi was calm in his heart, but now there has been no news for a year, and most of the troubled times are more than lucky.

Xiao Buyi sighed softly and took a sip of wine. Hearing the sound of footsteps at the staircase behind him, he lowered his voice, "A woman is coming?" ”

Ah Rust was facing the stairs, and couldn't help but admire when he heard it, "Boss Xiao, your senses are getting more and more acute, and you can hear both men and women." ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "I didn't feel it, but I saw a few brothers on the other side salivating for a long time to deduce." ”

The brothers laughed, and they were a little depressed in an instant, and Xiao Buyi's joke couldn't resolve the worries in their hearts, just glanced at the woman, and they were all drinking with their heads down.

A chill swept past Xiao Buyi, Xiao Buyi squinted, and saw a woman passing by dressed in black, with a cloak, a hat, and a scarf covering her face, and the whole person was wrapped, but she was faintly seen under the cloak and graceful.

The woman sat down at the table next to Xiao Buyi and whispered, "Bartender, come to a bowl of rice." ”

The bartender was stunned, "Girl, do you just need rice?" ”

The woman nodded, "Yes." ”

She didn't want to say more, so she slowly took out her money bag, counted two cents and put it on the table, listening to the movement of her money bag, she really didn't look like a rich person. The bartender looked at her, somewhat disdainful, but when he saw that she was a woman, he felt sympathy, "The girl is from out of town, right?" ”

"Hmm." The woman's voice is low and soft, without ups and downs, so that people can't hear joy, anger and sorrow.

The bartender felt weird, so he didn't say much, so he went to get the food first, but the drunkard at the next table slapped the table and said, "Man, do you have a girl who sings?" ”

The bartender smiled, "Back to the guest officer, if it is cold today, the girl who sang did not come." ”

The drunkard didn't mean to drink, and squinted at the woman wearing the hat and said: "What is the taste of rice, little lady, sing a song to the master, I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, big fish and big meat!" ”

The diners were not angry but happy, they were all watching the show, Xiao Buyi frowned, and the brothers just looked at Xiao Buyi's expression.

After the rice came up, it was steaming, and the woman lifted the corner of the veil, revealing her white jade-like pointed chin, and ate the rice slowly, ignoring the drunkard.

When the drunkard saw the woman, he didn't have the courage, and he walked over slowly, and he was about to touch the woman, "Where is the little lady......"

Xiao Buyi sighed, "It's not clean to drink, you throw him down." ”

The brothers had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and without hesitation after hearing it, Rusty Zhou Muru stepped forward and twisted the drunkard's arm, and without waiting for the drunkard to resist, he pushed open the window and threw him down.

A loud 'bang' sounded, mixed with the screams of the drunkard, Xiao Buyi continued to drink, muttering to himself: "Now the world is clean." ”

(To be continued)
