- "Yongshi; The Legend of the King of Jiajun

Huo Cong came to Zhongli, in addition to coming to visit Li Lin on the order of the prince, there was also a reason for Shi Yujin and Lu Mei, originally Dong Que was ordered by Jiang Zhe to save the two, Jiang Zhe was ready to wait until Jing Chi attacked, and sent someone to take them to Xuzhou. Unexpectedly, before Jing Chi could fully grasp the land of Huaixi, Jiang Zhe got the news of Dong Que, after Shi Yujin gave birth to a child, he cultivated for less than two months, and he didn't want to stay any longer, and after learning about the situation outside from Dong Que, he wanted to send Lu Mei and his son to Tingzhou, and then return north to find Lu Yun's whereabouts. Dong Que originally rescued the two daughters as a Taoist priest of Youfang, so naturally it was not easy to stop Shi Yujin from acting like this, so he could only quickly spread the news to Xuzhou. Huo Cong was ordered to come this time, and if there was any conflict between Shi Yujin and Yongjun, it would be good to deal with it. Now that Li Lin made a promise to Lu Mei at first sight, he naturally didn't have to worry about it anymore, and after handing over the grain and grass, he secretly told Jing Chi some clues, instructed Li Lin to say some words, and set off for Xuzhou early the next morning.

Because he was anxious to return to Xuzhou, Huo Cong only took four tiger guards on the road, these four people were old people who protected him when they were in Dinghai, they got along for several years, they knew each other very well, knew that he was anxious, and they were quick to whip up their horses along the way, and never stopped, until noon, the sun was dazzling, and the people and horses were tired, at this time, Huo Cong saw a deserted temple on the side of the road, so he raised the whip and said: "It's almost noon, just rest in front." The four guards agreed in unison.

This is a place where passers-by often rest, but in recent years, Yongchu has confronted Huaixi, so it has become dilapidated, but it can still shelter from the wind and rain. When the five people arrived at the temple, they turned over and dismounted and tied the horses in front of the temple, one took the wooden barrel under the porch, and went to the forest behind the temple to carry water, and the other three waited for the horses and prepared lunch at the bottom of the steps. Huo Cong saw that several people were busy, so he took a walk outside the temple by himself, wanting to relax his muscles. Seeing the guards carrying the water out, and hearing the sound of gurgling water in the woods, vaguely, like the sound of the piano, I couldn't help but have the heart of seeking seclusion and exploring the victory, greeted a few guards, and walked to the back of the forest. A guard got up and wanted to follow to protect him, but was stopped by Huo Cong. Now the situation in Jianghuai is different from last year, since Lu Can's death, the Huainan Chu army has not been able to shrink, let alone send scouts deep into Yongjing, so Huo Cong has no worries about being assassinated, not to mention that Huo Cong also has some martial arts, if it is an ordinary Nanchu scout, he will not be killed casually, so the guard hesitated and did not follow.

Huo Cong walked dozens of zhang away, and saw a clear spring in the forest, the spring water was crystal clear, and there were still swimming fish in the water.

When Huo Cong was leaning on the stone, letting the warm sunlight shine on his body through the greenery, and he was drowsy, a sarcastic voice came from his ears: "Huo Gongzi is now on the rise, and he doesn't remember the hatred of killing his father and destroying the country." ”

Huo Cong only felt a shock all over his body, he closed his lips tightly, and resisted the urge to call for help, not only because of the sharp blade against his back, but also because of the man's words.

Seeing this, the man behind him smiled and said: "Huo Gongzi is really smart and enlightened, I think that when Huo Jicheng, the leader of the Splendid Alliance, died at the hands of the enemy, and even his name was taken away, he didn't expect that his beloved son would have this name." ”

Huo Cong's eyes flashed coldly, and he said coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about, Huo doesn't understand what you mean." Before the words fell, he felt that the sharp blade behind him had been removed, and a person sat on the bluestone beside him, and said calmly: "I don't know if Huo Gongzi still remembers my strong voice, but I sent Gongzi and Mrs. Huo to Chang'an together, over the years, Gongzi's appearance has not changed, but the red mole in the center of the eyebrows is still the same, at the beginning, there was a Xiangshi who said that this is 'hidden pearls in the grass', the Lord is smart and wise, and the death is auspicious, now it seems that the Xiangshi is really an iron-mouthed god, who would have thought that Dayong, Nanchu and both countries would capture the son of the Qin prisoner Huo Jicheng, Now he is actually a disciple of Jiang Zhe, a heavy minister of Dayong, and he is even more respected by the crown prince Li Jun, and he will definitely be a very good minister in the future, rich and rich. However, it is true that there is a teacher and there must be an apprentice, and the teacher rebelled against Chu Touyong, but Huo Gongzi recognized the thief as his father, which is also out of the blue. ”

Huo Cong's face was like ashes, and he didn't look at the man, just stared at the stream in front of him and was silent, he was not so easily convinced, but this person told him through his heart for many years, which made him like this.

The man said coldly: "The leader of the alliance decided to return to the country in the past, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life for this, but everyone has selfish intentions, so when he married his wife, he was constipated and did not declare, and after the birth of the son, he sent his family to Chang'an, which is the alliance leader's painstaking efforts, although Chang'an is Yongdu, but it is safer than ordinary places, and there is no disaster of war, as long as the identity of the wife and the son is not revealed, they can live in peace for a long time." Although the world thinks that the leader of the alliance died in the first year of Longsheng, when King Qingwang of Dongchuan died, you and I both know that since the twenty-fourth year of Wuwei, Mrs. has lost the news of the leader of the alliance. It's just that I'm not from the Splendid Alliance, and my wife has no way to contact the cronies of the alliance leader, so I never know who is the one who uses the name of the alliance leader to dominate the world. At the beginning of the twenty-fifth year of Wuwei, his wife died of illness, and the son suddenly left after the funeral of his wife. Now that I think about it, Gongzi should have wanted to find out the whereabouts of the alliance leader, if the alliance leader has suffered an accident, then the most likely murderer is Yongren, but I don't know whether it is Yongwang Li Zhen or the prince Li An's hand, you are not wrong to invest in Yongwang's mansion, but wealth is forcing people to come, Ronghua is chaotic, and now Gongzi has long forgotten the enmity of his parents, right? ”

Huo Cong clenched his teeth, and he didn't know when the blood had overflowed the corners of his mouth, the man smiled coldly when he saw it, and said: "Li Mou has no interest, and later went to Nanchu, followed Wei Shouzuo or so, although Fengyi Gate is a phoenix with falling hair, but it is still a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, but it also let me know many secrets." Wei Shouzuo has been thinking hard over the years, and has already concluded that the Splendid Alliance has fallen into the hands of Emperor Yong Li Zhen since the twenty-fourth year of Wuwei, and the surname Jiang Zhe loves to hide and tuck, and there will be no one else in charge of this matter except Jiang Zhe, so it seems that the leader of the alliance died in the hands of anyone, no matter who he knows. It is said that Jiang Zhe loves Gongzi very much, can't Gongzi really not guess who is the enemy who killed his father? ”

Huo Cong's eyes seemed to be on fire, and he stared at the man viciously, but the man seemed to not care, took out a jade bottle from his arms and put it in front of Huo Cong, and said: "This bottle is the first secret medicine bought from the Poison King, if ordinary people eat it, there is no hindrance, if it is a seriously ill and injured person, it will become weaker and weaker, it only takes a few months, and the person who takes the medicine can die silently. Childe don't have to worry, although that guy is the holy hand of Qihuang, but the way of poison is unfathomable, Shen Ruhui's ability in poison is unparalleled in the world, even if it is a medical saint in person, he can't find this medicine, not to mention that this medicine is not strictly speaking, it is a tonic for strengthening the body, but it is not suitable for patients. ”

Seeing that Huo Cong was still silent, the man knew that Huo Cong was not moved, and said: "If the son refuses to do it, and the ugly words are in front, within half a year, if the person does not die, I will leak the childe's life experience, but I don't know that at that time, Jiang Zhe will be merciful. Even if he was a young acquaintance, his beloved apprentice who was as close as flesh and blood was an enemy of him, he refused to let go, not to mention that you were a helpless son, even if he was reluctant to kill you, he was afraid that you would be cut off from now on, and he would no longer be able to gain the trust of Yongting. If Gongzi is willing to kill Jiang Zhe, it is not a secret, Li Mou has already had the will to die, and he does not want to live in the world, he will go to Jiuquan to report the good news to Huo Mengzhu and Wei Shouzuo, and he will never stay in the world, so that Gongzi is like a man, and he is angry. If Childe is not at ease, you can come to the Ping'an Inn in Shouchun City to see me, presumably Shouchun has been broken by Dayong by then, if I die in front of Childe, I think Childe will be relieved, right? It's just that Childe doesn't think that things are not done to kill people, I have already left the letter in the hands of my confidant, if there is no token of mine, at this time next year, he will open the letter, according to my will, the life of Childe will be spread all over the world, and then Childe is afraid that he will regret it. If Gongzi kills Jiang Zhe, I will tell the token and the identity of that person, and Gongzi will be able to avoid future troubles forever, isn't it a beautiful thing? ”

Huo Cong looked at the jade bottle in a daze, and at some point, the voice of the guard came from behind him: "Childe, you can already eat." ”

Huo Cong subconsciously hid the jade bottle in his sleeve, raised his head, and the sound of the thunder had long since disappeared, and Mu Ran said: "Let's go over, wait for me." Then he walked to the stream, and did not reach out to pick up the water, but plunged his head into the water, the cold stream was particularly cold, and after a while, Huo Cong raised his head, got up and looked back and smiled: "This stream is very cold." The waterline is like a bead, dripping from the top of his hair, but it does not give people a sense of embarrassment, but makes people feel that he is free and straightforward. The guard had followed him for several years, knowing that Huo Cong would occasionally have such an informal move, but he didn't see the turmoil in Huo Cong's heart, and said with a funny smile: "This stream is cold, and now it is late spring, it is inevitable that there will be cold, Gongzi should wipe off the water traces, otherwise it will be bad if he suffers from the wind and cold." ”

Huo Cong smiled slightly, wiped off the water marks with the sleeve of his robe, and walked to the front of the Linwai Temple with the guard with a smile, only to see that the stove in the military stove in front of the temple was already steaming, and the thick soup was covered with pancakes, which was also a sumptuous meal. Huo Cong quietly laughed and ate with a few guards, and no one knew that Huo Cong was already untainable at the moment. After lunch, after resting for half an hour, the five people went on the road again, there was nothing to say along the way, and the fourth was early in the morning, and the five people arrived in front of Xuzhou City. After a night of driving, the clothes on his body were almost soaked with dew, and he was anxious to enter the city to change his clothes, seeing Xuzhou City standing in the morning light, there was no need to discuss, the five of them added an extra whip, and the horse rushed to the city gate. Before arriving at the city gate, he was surprised to see the flag in front of the city, Huo Cong was puzzled, rode his horse and stopped on the side of the road, and looked at it, the bright yellow dragon and phoenix flags, the dragon and the forbidden army with bright armor, and the magnificent princess honor guard, all clearly indicated the identity of the convoy that was going out of the city.

Huo Cong wondered in his heart, Princess Changle came to Xuzhou because Jiang Zhe was seriously ill, and Jiang Zhe should not have recovered yet, why did the princess have to go back, avoiding the roadside and being stunned, Huo Cong forgot that he could come forward and ask, the conversation by the forest stream hit him hard, and it was definitely not something that could be covered by the calm and calm on the surface.

Princess Dayong should have used Zhai Che according to the etiquette system, only Princess Changle of Ningguo specially ordered to use the golden chariot, which was originally the meaning of Emperor Yong's honor, but Huo Cong's mind turned around, and he had already figured out what was going on today, before he went to Zhongli, he learned from the prince Li Jun that there was a royal history to impeach Princess Changle for leaving Yongdu for a long time. At this time, Huo Cong saw Princess Changle Luan's side again, Roulan and Shen'er each rode horses to accompany each other, but Shen'er was wearing casual clothes, and Roulan was wearing a light yellow spring shirt, which didn't look like she was going to hurry, but she reluctantly talked to Princess Changle through the tall window of the bead curtain, and secretly guessed that Princess Changle must have left Roulan in Xuzhou.

At this time, Princess Changle and Roulan both saw Huo Cong on the side of the road, stopped Luan, and Princess Changle said softly: "Cong'er is back, if you come back a little later, you can't resign to the palace." ”

Huo Cong stepped forward to salute at this time, and asked a little melancholy: "Is my wife going back to Beijing?" ”

Princess Changle sighed lightly, her beautiful face showed a gloomy color, and said: "The queen mother is slightly ill, and she ordered the palace to return to Beijing, and I will leave Lan'er to take care of her father, but she is still young, and most of them are not handy, if you are by Suiyun's side, you have to take care of it more, although Suiyun has improved a lot, but I can never rest assured." ”

At this time, Jiang Shen leaned out on the other side of the golden chariot and said eagerly: "Brother Huo, you have to tell my father, it's not that I don't want to copy the "Book of Songs" ten times, but the emperor's uncle asked me to go back together, saying that my grandmother misses me very much, and my master also wants me to go back to practice, so I left, at most, after my father returns to Beijing, I will hand over the copied Book of Poetry to him." ”

Roulan was already crying, but when she heard Jiang Shen's words, she burst into tears and smiled: "Shen'er, you don't want to ask someone to copy the book according to your handwriting, Daddy's eyesight is very powerful, and you can't hide it." ”

Jiang Shen was immediately stunned when he heard this, and his clear and clear black eyes kept spinning, as if he was considering whether what his sister said was true or false.

But I heard Princess Changle smile and say: "Yes, Shen'er, your sister has suffered a loss in the past, originally she only copied the Analects five times, but she copied it ten more times. ”

Jiang Shen opened his mouth wide, stunned, but forgot that he was still on the horse, and almost fell, but fortunately, his martial arts had already begun to be completed, and he hurriedly controlled the reins of the horse. Huo Cong also laughed out loud, and the sorrow and boredom of these days were almost swept away, only the soft blue face was red, and she became more and more coquettish.

This small episode diluted the sorrow of parting, until Princess Luan of Changle disappeared from sight, Huo Cong was still smiling, until Roulan muttered in his ear: "The emperor's uncle is really, isn't it just that someone is impeached, so he is busy sending his mother back to Beijing, if I am my father, I will simply go back together, so as not to vomit blood for no reason." ”

Huo Cong's heart trembled, the original joy fell silent, and said lightly: "Lan'er can't speak disrespectfully, if this word spreads, I'm afraid of causing trouble, how can the emperor have any suspicions about Mr., most likely to block the tongue of those counselors." ”

Rou Lan said angrily: "Daddy said the same, but I'm just not convinced, if I know who impeached Daddy, I will definitely pull out his beard." ”

Huo Cong smiled: "Okay, don't make trouble, I'm going to see Mr., if you don't want to go back, I won't wait for you." ”

Rou Lan's eyes rolled and said: "Brother Huo, you ask me for a favor, my father won't allow me to go to Chuzhou again, and said that I should learn some female red feeds, I don't like those troublesome things, my father loves you the most, if you speak, my father will agree." ”

Huo Cong's heart was even more tingling, and he reluctantly said: "Okay, I'll mention it to Mr., but if Mr. doesn't agree, I can't do anything." ”

The two rode their horses to Ning Biyuan, where Jiang Zhe was recuperating, and heard the noisy sounds on both sides of the street. He knew that there were many untruths in that person's words, his father was not a man of national revenge, and it was not all for the safety of the mother and son that he and his mother were sent to Chang'an to live in seclusion. Although he was still young at that time, he remembered a lot of things, especially his mother often confided in him the bitterness in his heart, or thought that he couldn't understand it, otherwise a virtuous and gentle woman like his mother would never say that her husband was not. But the man was not wrong about one thing, his father did die at the hands of his husband, and he really forgot the hatred of the country and the family.

He never regarded himself as a Shu person, after he was born, Shu has already died, his childhood was spent in Chang'an, and later grew up in the cold garden, he never thought of the national hatred, only family hatred, but he never forgot for a moment. When he collided with the car of Yongwangfu, he was intentional and wanted to use this method to infiltrate Yongwangfu, at that time his wish was just to know his father's life and death, and then to tell his mother who had disappeared. Who knew that by chance, he threw himself into Jiang Zhe's disciple, which was also the beginning of his heart. Jiang Zhe's respect and trust allowed him to know many secrets, and he guessed the cause of his father's death from the clues, but Jiang Zhe's teachings and love made him appreciate the father's love that he had never gotten.

In the end, he decided not to face this fact, as long as he didn't get real evidence, he couldn't think that Jiang Zhe was his father's killer. Later, what he was most afraid of was identity leakage. Once Jiang Zhe knows his life experience, with Jiang Zhe's surname, he will definitely explain the truth, he is not afraid that Jiang Zhe will expel him from the cold garden, he is not afraid that Jiang Zhe will put him in the dilemma of not being able to survive or die, and he is not even afraid that Jiang Zhe will kill him, but what he is afraid of is that he does not know how to choose between enmity and hatred, but he is afraid that at that time, he will have no other way to go except suicide and death.

But the secret that he tried his best to cover was finally revealed, and he couldn't deceive himself after all, and finally arrived at Ning Biyuan, Huo Cong got off the horse, and followed Roulan step by step to Jiang Zhe's residence, only to feel that his feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, without support, and his eyes fell on the hidden door, Huo Cong suddenly felt unprecedentedly calm, it turned out that when he really faced it, it was not as terrible as he imagined. Jiang Zhe's indifferent voice came from inside the door and said: "Is Cong'er back, come in, Lan'er, I like the bowl of soup yesterday very much, you go and tell the kitchen that you want that soup for dinner tonight." ”

Slightly wry smile, listening to the sound of soft blue's distant footsteps, plucking up courage, Huo Cong pushed the door and walked in, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly froze, in his mind, Jiang Zhe should still be as depressed as he was a month ago, looking at it, Jiang Zhe was sitting on a chair, wearing only a middle coat, wearing a wide robe, and was holding a fragrant tea to appreciate a calligraphy on the bookcase, looking relaxed and calm, without any sadness. Xiao Shunzi was sitting in front of the chessboard, holding an old booklet in his hand, and was playing chess there, picking up the chess pieces and placing them on the chessboard from time to time. The master and servant were so leisurely and contented, as if the clouds of a few months ago had disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Huo Cong coming in, Xiao Shunzi didn't raise his eyelids, but Jiang Zhe raised his head and smiled: "Cong'er met your master, in fact, she is too worried, I am much better now, even if she is not by my side, there will be no problem, but it is better to go back to Beijing, so as not to have those bean curd mouths and tongues." ”

Seeing Jiang Zhe's peaceful expression, Huo Cong only felt a sense of relief in his heart, and subconsciously put aside the sorrow in his heart, and said, "Mr. is so happy, but is there any happy event?" ”

I smiled and said: "Where is there any happy event, the four armies are raising troops together, only Huaixi is very smooth, Ba County originally Yu Mian had already intended to surrender to him, but there was a person who sent Lu Can a sword, then Yu Mian has already sworn that he will not surrender, but I am afraid that if I want to capture Ba County, it will take some effort." ”

Seeing that Jiang Zhe had no choice when he talked about Lu Can, Huo Cong's heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "Is Mr. no longer sad about the general's affairs?" ”

Xiao Shunzi raised his head when he heard this, and there was a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes. Huo Cong lowered his head, and felt that he shouldn't have stabbed the hidden pain in his heart. At this time, Jiang Zhe's elegant and calm voice came from his ears: "Alas, I have actually been prepared for this matter, those words are just ignorant for a while, the deceased is gone, even if it is sad, what can I do?" No matter how thick the friendship between me and Lu Can is, it can't match the word loyalty, if Lu Can kills me, most of them will be painful, but things have changed, but he still has to lead the army to kill the enemy. I don't regret what I did, so why should I be depressed in my heart, just make my relatives bitter and hateful, and think that although he killed himself, he would not like to see me so sad. Some things have to be faced after all, what is right and wrong, what is loyalty and filial piety, as long as this heart can be at ease, why care about the world's opinions. ”

When Huo Cong heard Jiang Zhe's last two words, he felt like an initiation, his heart suddenly brightened, and his vitality appeared on his face again, he was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's good that Mr. can figure it out, no wonder my wife is willing to return to Beijing by edict, but because Mr. is fine, and the disciple has good news here, if Mr. listens, I'm afraid he will be happier." ”

I said with interest, "If you come back so soon, I will know that the matter must have been settled, so tell me your good news." ”

Huo Cong carefully told Li Lin about his love for Lu Mei, I heard my eyebrows fluttering, and I couldn't help but laugh and said: "This is a father must have a son, His Royal Highness King Qi for Princess Jiaping, but how many jokes and how much effort was taken to marry a beautiful woman, I am afraid that in the future, Li Lin's son will have to pay ten times more than his father to get his wish, but this matter must be promoted as much as possible." But speaking of which, these children are also older, Lan'er also died last year, and she should also choose a good son-in-law for her, although she still wants to keep her for a few more years, but she can't miss her marriage. ”

Huo Cong had already made a decision in his heart, and stepped forward to bow down and said, "Sir, the disciple has something to ask Uncle Shun for, and I ask Mr. for permission." ”

The eyebrows were raised lightly, my gaze stayed on Huo Cong for a moment, and said gently: "You go and beg him yourself, if Xiao Shunzi agrees, there will naturally be no problem on my side." ”

Huo Cong bowed again, got up and walked to Xiao Shunzi's side, his eyes were blazing, but he didn't say a word, Xiao Shunzi put down the chess game, and said lightly: "Let's go." As he spoke, he walked out of the door, Huo Cong lowered his head and followed behind him, although he had his back to Jiang Zhe, he could feel that his gaze had been following behind him, until the door closed behind him, and his blazing gaze was blocked by the thick wooden door.

The two walked to the garden, and Xiao Shunzi stood in front of a pool of clear water with his hands in his hands, and said indifferently: "What is the matter with you?" ”

Huo Cong said lightly: "The disciple wants to ask Uncle Shun to kill someone." ”

Xiao Shunzi was slightly stunned and said, "Who do you want to kill?" ”

Huo Cong took out the jade bottle in his arms, played with it for a while, put it on the ground, took a step back and said: "The disciple wants to kill a person named Li Ming, I think I should be able to find him in the Ping'an Inn in Shouchun, if Uncle Shun makes a move, it must be foolproof, and the disciple can rest assured." ”

Xiao Shunzi didn't ask who Li Ming was, and said coldly: "Aren't you worried that it's useless to kill him alone?" ”

Huo Cong said with a smile: "Fengyi Gate has disappeared, Chentang is also completely destroyed on Xianxia Ridge, I don't think Li Ming has any henchmen, most of what he said is intimidation, but I don't believe it, and besides, the rumors have spread, but it doesn't matter, I don't care about those glory and wealth, less shackles, but also less responsibility, I won't be like Mr., I can't get out." ”

Xiao Shunzi turned his head, his eyes were full of coldness, but there was a faint expectation, and asked, "Have you already decided?" ”

Huo Cong nodded and said: "Yes, some things have to be faced after all, since my heart has told me how to choose, I will no longer have difficulties, even if I recognize the thief as my father, even if I forget the revenge of killing my father, Huo Cong only knows that my career in the cold garden will be unforgettable for a lifetime, and Mr., Mrs., Uncle Shun, Lan'er and Shen'er are my relatives." ”

A trace of joy flashed in Xiao Shunzi's eyes, but he quickly disappeared, and said solemnly: "I will deal with this matter, go and play a game of chess with him, I lost to me again yesterday, I am very unhappy, if you say that you make chess, or you do it seamlessly, I am definitely not as good as you." ”

Huo Cong smiled and said, "The disciple obeys the order, and I ask Uncle Shun to bother more." With that, Huo Cong turned around and walked towards Jiang Zhe's room.

Behind him, Xiao Shunzi took out a piece of tissue paper from his sleeve, which was full of fly-headed Xiaokai, and wrote: "The person who carried Lu Can's sword to block Yu Mian Shunyi, named Li Ming, belonged to Fengyi Menchen Hall, Wei Ying's henchman, Mingjian Division was ordered to track down, and his person was on Zhongli to Suzhou Road, and secretly met Huo Cong, what he said is unknown, please pay attention to it." ”

Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly, her fingers flicked, and the tissue paper instantly turned into ashes.

Seeing Huo Cong walk into the room again, I put down the notebook in my hand, since he walked in again, then everything doesn't have to be asked, put down the big stone in my heart, looked at Huo Cong's eyes full of joy and doting, remembered a beautiful thing that had been planned for a long time, I smiled and said: "Cong'er, there is one thing I have thought about for a long time, Lan'er is the pearl of my palm, I am always reluctant to marry her, but after all, the male should marry, the female should marry, I can't mistake her for life, you are my disciple, just like my family, I intend to marry Lan'er to you, I don't know what you think? ”

After finishing speaking, I looked at Huo Cong eagerly, if he agreed, I wouldn't have to marry Lan'er, I originally thought that Huo Cong should be ecstatic to agree, but Huo Cong was stunned for a moment, and asked in a strange tone: "Sir, have you asked Lan'er what he meant?" ”

What does this mean, I frowned, and said, "I haven't asked yet, but you two are childhood sweethearts, and you are such a talented person, I don't think Lan'er will refuse." ”

Huo Cong couldn't cry or laugh a little, but he didn't dare to pick it out, and said euphemistically: "Sir, Lan'er, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and King Jiajun all grew up together, didn't Mr. consider them?" ”

I smiled and said: "Lin'er won't talk about it, first, he is one year younger than Lan'er, and if this child is with Lan'er, most of them will quarrel upside down, not to mention that now he has a crush, the surnames of this father and son are very similar, I don't expect him to empathize with him, as for the prince, not to mention, that's absolutely impossible, this time Changle went to Xuzhou, and said that the queen was ready to choose a concubine for the prince, how could Lan'er and him be? Besides, even if the prince is interested, I can't agree, even if you marry Lan'er, you will not be allowed to marry a concubine in the future, you need to be dedicated to Lan'er. ”

Huo Cong was secretly glad that he had pulled Li Lin on as a foil, if it weren't for that, he was afraid that he wouldn't know what Mr. wanted. He hesitated for a moment and said: "Sir, His Royal Highness the Prince's selection of concubines must be a good match from among the famous ladies, and Lan'er is also the county lord, and it seems that she is also among the candidates." ”

I didn't care and said: "It's okay, I've already written an excerpt, if you agree to the marriage, I will explain the matter in a book, I think the emperor will also give me this face, Lan'er has always been favored by the queen mother and the queen, there should be no problem." By the way, what do you mean? Do you think there's anything Lan'er doesn't deserve about you? ”

Huo Cong almost cried bitterly, at this moment he wished that he had just been solved by Xiao Shunzi, so as not to face such a problem, regardless of whether he had the courage to compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a lover, the question was that Lan'er and the prince were clearly in love, how could he snatch love with a knife. After thinking about it, he still delayed it for a while, but he knew Jiang Zhe's surname, if he didn't get it right, maybe he would immediately marry Roulan to himself, and if this matter was passed on, it would be difficult to recover. So Huo Cong thought about it again and again, and said tactfully: "Sir, if this matter is settled now, I am afraid that Lan'er will be embarrassed and dare not stay in Xuzhou anymore, it is better to wait until the war is a little calmer, and Mr. will tell her." As long as Lan'er is willing, Huo Cong is willing to marry her. ”

I didn't pay attention to the mystery in Huo Cong's words, I just thought that I should also restrain Roulan, and don't get too close to the prince again, so as not to make the future princess jealous, and lest Cong'er be troubled. Because I never thought that my beloved daughter would compete with others for a husband, so any possibility between Roulan and the prince has long been left behind by me, and I didn't know that I had broken up a pair of little mandarin ducks, I picked up the written fold and said: "Ming said that I will send the fold up, so as not to involve Lan'er in the matter of the prince's choice of concubine, let's go with the military newspaper, it's better to be faster, so as not to spend more time on Changle." ”

Huo Cong was even more distressed, and said in his heart, I can't steal the fold, should I send a letter to the prince and ask him to ask the emperor for help, or should I send a letter to Shen'er and let him think of the middle way to intercept the excerpt? ”

Glancing at Jiang Zhe, Huo Cong only hated why he wanted to give up revenge, otherwise he would not have faced such a dilemma.

Shouchun, Ping'an Inn, the lonely lights are scattered, the night rain is miserable, there is a more leaky sound in the bitter wind and rain, it is estimated that it is more and more difficult to sleep, Li Ming got up in his clothes, picked up the lights on the table, and then poured a cold wine, drank it slowly, and a pair of bloodshot eyes became more and more misty.

Just as he wanted to pour another glass of wine, the warm room suddenly became cold for no reason, as if there was a drop of water into ice, and his body trembled, but as if he didn't notice anything unusual, he continued to pour the bottom of the pot, but only half a glass of turbid wine. Picking up the wine cup, he was not in a hurry to drink the wine, and said lightly: "Your Excellency, can you wait for me to say a few words before you start?" ”

A cold voice came from behind him and said: "I'm not in a hurry, if you have anything to say, the time before dawn is yours, as long as you don't want to struggle to survive, I won't do it." ”

Li Ming turned around and saw a young man with a clean appearance like ice and snow with an indifferent expression, standing in front of the door with his hands in his hands, although he was only dressed in green clothes, but his proud posture made people dare not ignore his brilliance, and couldn't help laughing: "It turned out that the evil shadow Li Ye personally came to solve it, Li felt deeply honored, why don't you let me ask for a pot of wine in the next place, and it is also a happy thing in life to be a spring night, but I don't know if I have this honor in the body of the next micro-end?" ”

Xiao Shunzi's eyes were a little softer, and he said lightly: "You have this qualification, come and bring wine." At his command, the door was quietly opened, and two men came in with a stove, and charcoal, and a large copper kettle, and a jar of fine wine, and laid them under the window, and then withdrew.

Li Ming rolled up his sleeves and began to cook wine, but seeing his rough and clumsy appearance, it was really embarrassing, Xiao Shunzi looked depressed, and said coldly: "It's better for me to come, such a fine wine fell into your hands, most of it was burning the qin and boiling cranes." "Skillfully start adding some charcoal.

Seeing this, Li Ming smiled and said: "If I knew that Li Ye was willing to condescend to my dignity, I would have been able to cook wine, and I would definitely not be able to do it at this moment." ”

Xiao Shunzi said coldly: "You are so guts? But for the sake of you being about to go to Huangquan Road, I won't bother with you. ”

Li Ming said smugly: "There are a few people in the world who can make the evil shadow cook wine, except for Marquis Jiang, just with this rare glory, the courage of the next will also be greater......

Xiao Shunzi skillfully controlled the heat, looked at the color of the wine in the pot, and said in his mouth: "If it were an ordinary person, I would not give you a chance to talk nonsense, but you are also interesting." As far as I know, you were first Huo Jicheng's attendant, and then Wei Ying's heart, after Huo Jicheng's death, you still supported his wife and children, until Mrs. Huo passed away and Huo Cong disappeared, you left Chang'an, which can be described as benevolent and righteous. After Wei Ying's death, you followed his will, first went to Bajun to present the sword, and then went to Huaixi to coerce Huo Cong, intending to murder my son-in-law, do you know that either of these two things can make you break your bones, but you have the courage to do it. Huo Jicheng and Wei Ying are not heroes, and they use you more than kindness, why do you still care about life and death and be loyal to them? With that, he poured out a glass of wine that had been warmed and handed it to Li Ming.

Li Ming took the wine cup and drank it all, and said: "Li is a foreign descendant of the Li family in Shu, born stupid, his parents died early, and even ordinary disciples with foreign surnames in the clan dare to bully me, others look down on me, only Senior Brother Huo will keep me by his side to take care of me, although most of them are to instruct me to do some trivial things, but Ping said that he also pointed out my martial arts, which is not thin for me, and then he rebelled and established the Splendid Alliance, I think it is not interesting to be in the Li family, so I went with him." However, my martial arts are low, and he can't look down on him, so he only asked me to be an entourage, but it didn't take long for him to get acquainted with Mrs., Mrs. is also a beautiful lady, only because of the war was forced to take refuge in the countryside, Senior Brother Huo said that Mrs. was very much like his fiancΓ©e who abandoned marriage and ran away, so he forcibly married Mrs. as his wife. At that time, the Splendid League was becoming more and more difficult, Madame had just given birth to a son, and her health was also very bad, Senior Brother Huo asked me to cheat to death, and then took me to send Madame and Gongzi to Chang'an to live in seclusion, and since then I have stayed in Chang'an to take care of Madame and Gongzi. When Senior Brother Huo and Prince Li An cooperated, they also came to see Mrs. secretly, but then there was suddenly no news, although the Splendid Alliance is still crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, my wife and I both know that he is dead. It didn't take long for Mrs. to be ill, in fact, from the moment she arrived in Chang'an, Mrs. has been sick, after she passed away, I took the little boy to bury the lady, I originally wanted to take the little boy back to Shuzhong, who knew that he would suddenly disappear, and then I didn't look for him again, Huo Cong is very smart, I think he must have thought about what to do. ”

Xiao Shunzi poured another glass of wine, but this time he drank it himself, and said: "Huo Jicheng's surname is Liangbo, he just treats you as a servant, and he is not afraid of you betraying him, so he entrusts him with his wife, if he needs it, he will not hesitate to sacrifice you, you can do it like this, it is really benevolent and righteous." ”

Li Ming also poured a glass of wine, and after drinking it, his face was a little flushed, and he said: "I don't have any ability, I used to do whatever Senior Brother Huo said, after Senior Brother Huo died, I was alone in the rivers and lakes, it was very difficult, and later became a bandit, but I am not ruthless or spicy, and I often suffer losses, either I let go of the fat sheep in vain, or I was blackened by others, fortunately, under the supervision of Senior Brother Huo, my kung fu is reasonable, and I can struggle to survive." Later, I was conspired against and rescued by the first one, and when he saw that I was honest, he asked me to follow him. If you talk about martial arts skills, there are many people who are better than me in Chentang, but the first seat regards me as a confidant, and many things are let me do, that is, there are some mistakes, and the first seat often covers up the past, and the first seat is extremely strict, if someone else makes a mistake, most of them will be punished heavily, but I always open up to the net, and I will never forget such kindness. This time he was going to Nanmin, so he told me that he would not come back alive, and asked me two things before leaving, one thing was to send the sword and letter left by the general to General Yu, the first seat said, this matter is the most important, let me do it, if this matter is done, let me find Huo Gongzi and force him to assassinate Jiang Houye, I was originally very worried about affecting Huo Gongzi, but I repaid the kindness of Senior Brother Huo, and the grace of the first seat has not been reported, so I had to agree, when the words of coercing Huo Gongzi were the first to let me memorize it, and it really worked. ”

Xiao Shunzi's eyes flashed with a sharp man, and said: "Do you know that once this matter is discovered by me, not only Huo Cong will die, but even you will not be able to escape my pursuit, what is the identity of my son-in-law, how can you be allowed to wait for the conspiracy to assassinate?" ”

Li Ming's eyes flashed gloomily, and said: "The first seat said that this matter is sixty percent certain, and now since Li Ye is here, then the poisoning thing must have failed, but the first seat said that Huo Gongzi missed, and Jiang Hou may not kill him, the first seat said that although Jiang Hou Ye is vicious, but sometimes there will be some women's kindness, otherwise the two countries will fight and kill the enemy general, and what kind of friendship does it care about." Shouza also said that no matter whether I succeed or fail, I can't live, so if I don't want to, he won't embarrass me. But after thinking about it, I still felt that I couldn't live up to the trust of the first seat, so I agreed, I don't know if Huo Gongzi is dead or alive now. ”

Xiao Shunzi's eyes flickered for a long time, and said: "That poison is really powerful, but it can't hide from Childe's eyes, but Huo Cong didn't die, and Childe didn't kill him." Speaking of which, I really admire Wei Ying's strategy, instigating Huo Cong to assassinate Gongzi, if it succeeds, it is naturally the best, if it is not successful, so that Gongzi and apprentice kill each other, he has also achieved his goal. ”

Li Ming was stunned and said, "Do you know that the first seat thinks like this?" When I told the first seat that the young man next to Jiang Hou was actually the son of the master of the Huo League, the first one thought hard for a long time before he came up with this method, he said that Jiang Hou's heart vein was the weakest, and he had almost died back then, and when he saw Jiang Hou to pay tribute to the general, the first seat saw that his heart was hit hard again, and the seven emotions hurt people, which has been the case since ancient times. Therefore, the first seat does not expect Huo Gongzi to succeed, but as long as Jiang Zhe learns that his beloved disciple will assassinate him, it will inevitably aggravate his condition, even if it will not hurt Jiang Hou's life, at least he can take away ten years of life. Shouza also said that this strategy is best used after his death, Jiang Hou is meticulous, as long as Shouza is alive, he will not relax the surveillance of Chentang, but after Shouza dies, it will be different, people die like lights go out, who will beware of a dead person, so let me do it after I finish the matter in Bajun. ”

Xiao Shunzi's eyes flashed with compassion, and there was also a hint of admiration, and said: "Wei Ying is really powerful, there is still a legacy after death, and the son will never think of the hatred in Wei Ying's heart, and he can't let go of it even if he dies." ”

Li Ming laughed when he heard this, the simple expression on his face faded a little, but he was a little more generous, poured another glass of wine and drank it, and said: "To be able to get the praise of the evil shadow, I think the first seat will also die as it deserves, and I don't bother Your Excellency, Huo Cong's life experience, I didn't tell others, since he is alive, you just tell him, no matter what, I also received the favor of Senior Brother Huo at the beginning, and I will always leave a glimmer of life for him, otherwise Marquis Jiang doesn't want to kill him, and the enemies of Huo Mengzhu will never let him go." As he said the last few words, his voice gradually deepened, and his face began to turn blue.

Xiao Shunzi's eyes were cold, he walked to his side, checked his pulse, and knew that this person had taken the poison after seeing him, but he did not die until this moment, so he indulged in drinking, which should be to make the poison attack faster. He also knew a thing or two about this poison, and it was quite painful when it attacked, but there was no sign on the outside, and when it was discovered, it was no longer savory, and he couldn't help but sigh: "There is still a short time before the dawn, why are you in such a hurry to die?" ”

Li Ming said with difficulty: "I'm just an ordinary person, I'm afraid of death, and I'm afraid of being humiliated, so I asked Shouza for suicide poison very early, and when I saw Li Ye come to Shouchun in person, I was very scared, so I took the poison in advance, if I knew that Li Ye was so kind, I would wait until dawn to die." ”

Xiao Shunzi asked anxiously: "Do you know where Lu Feng is, my son-in-law knows that he is in Wei Ying's hands." ”

Li Ming's eyes showed a look of relief, and he reluctantly said, "Do you want to ask about this matter?" Shouza let him live in Poison Dragon Ze, but when I went to look for him after Shouzao died, he was gone, but he should not be dead. The last few words were almost inaudible, and the sparkle in his eyes gradually dimmed......

Xiao Shunzi knew that he couldn't ask anything anymore, and sighed: "Persuade you to have a glass of wine, there are many old people in Quantai, you are also a hero, so let's go." Not wanting to see Li Ming struggle any longer, a finger cut off his heart, Li Ming's breathing finally stopped, and there was still a hint of a smile on his blue and black distorted face.

Xiao Shunzi said in his heart, although this person is mediocre, but he is straightforward and sincere, no wonder he can be trusted by Wei Ying, and he supports him behind him. Thinking of this, there is also pity in his heart, if he knew that Wei Ying's plan failed, he was afraid that he would blame himself when he died, he came to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, in order to find out if anyone still knew Huo Cong's life experience, so he didn't tell Li Ming the truth, although he came for nothing, it could let him die with peace of mind, which was not bad.

The things to be done have been done, Xiao Shunzi thought about it at the moment, but he still felt lucky, Wei Ying's last policy, it was really vicious, if it wasn't for Huo Cong to figure it out himself, I was afraid that Jiang Zhe would really be forced to face the tragedy of cannibalism between master and apprentice, if it was in the past, it would be fine, but when Jiang Zhe's heart was hit hard again, he really took advantage of people's illness and took people's lives, such a means to make matters worse, if he really succeeded, the son was afraid that he would lose half of his life if he didn't die, and Wei Ying would lose ten years of life. With a long sigh, Xiao Shunzi walked out of the guest room, saw that the two shop guys were still waiting under the corridor, and said lightly: "You have buried this person properly." With that, the figure disappeared into the rain, and the two looked at each other, wondering if what they saw was a ghost.

did not stop at all, Xiao Shunzi rushed back to Xuzhou overnight, no matter how many masters Jiang Zhe had around him to protect, if he was not around, he would always be at ease. Between the runs, I suddenly remembered that when I went to worship the Demon Sect with my son six years ago, Jing Wuji had said to himself that if you want to become a great road, you need to let go first, if you can't let go of the worries in your heart, after all, you are just a frog at the bottom of the well, although you are not convinced in your heart, but thinking of Jing Wuji's vast as the sea, the unpredictable cultivation, compared to the time when the Dao Zuo met, I don't know how many times I have improved, I think it is because I have given up the secular dispute. The figure is lightly stretched, like light dust with the wind, instantly swept through the wilderness, Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly, if there is no person, put everything down, there is nothing, but now he is reluctant.

Hundreds of miles of road, in Xiao Shunzi is just ordinary, the sky is not clear, he has arrived outside Ningbi Garden, his eyes are fixed, but he sees many guards at the door there to probe their brains, some people are full of bitterness, some people are very anxious, I can't help but be shocked, could it be that I only went for a day, and something strange happened?

His heart was full of doubts, but he was sure that there was no sadness and remorse in the air, Xiao Shunzi slightly let go of his worries, walked to the door, and asked a few guards coldly: "What's the matter, you all ran out, if you let the assassins get in, don't you want to live?" ”

Everyone just felt a flower in front of them, and then they saw Xiao Shunzi standing in front of the door with his hands in his hands, and a high-ranking tiger guard hurriedly came to Xiao Shunzi and hurriedly said: "Master Li, you are back, Huo Gongzi ordered to come down, if Li Ye comes back, I will ask you to persuade Master Hou." ”

Xiao Shunzi was slightly stunned, and walked into Ning Bi Garden quickly, only to see that the guards in the garden were all expelled out, and he couldn't help but be very troubled in his heart, Huo Cong has always been very decent, but what is going on this time, walking to the front of Jiang Zhe's residence, his eyes are condensed, and he saw two people kneeling outside the door, one is in a bright yellow robe, it is the prince Li Jun, and the other is a yellow shirt and green sleeves, but it is Roulan. Xiao Shunzi immediately understood in his heart, no wonder Huo Cong drove everyone out, if this situation is seen by others, not only will the prince lose face, but even the prince will inevitably be in trouble.

Walking behind the two of them, he said helplessly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Roulan, what's going on, if this is passed out, wouldn't it be unseemly." ”

The two of them heard Xiao Shunzi's voice, as if they heard Lunyin, Roulan was the first to stand up, probably kneeling for a long time, her knees were weak, she almost fell to the ground, and was supported by Li Jun, the two turned around, Roulan saw Xiao Shunzi is tears welling up, wow, she cried loudly, and then threw herself into Xiao Shunzi's arms, choked and said: "Uncle Shun, you have always loved Lan'er the most, you go and plead with your father, Lan'er don't marry Brother Huo." ”

Xiao Shunzi then remembered that Jiang Zhe married Roulan Xu to Huo Cong a few days ago, but didn't Huo Cong temporarily stabilize the son, how could these two know now, seeing the puzzled look on his face, Li Jun said embarrassedly: "It's my fault, I received Huo Cong's letter, and I couldn't bear it for a while, so I came from Chuzhou overnight, and wanted to ask my brother-in-law to marry Lan'er to me, but my brother-in-law categorically refused, and asked me to go back to Chuzhou immediately, I, I couldn't think about it for a while, so I knelt in front of my brother-in-law's door, and it alarmed Lan'er, and Lan'er also came to beg, But my brother-in-law refused to agree. Li Jun has always dared not put His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the shelf in front of Xiao Shunzi, and I don't know if he had thought of something today.

Xiao Shunzi was a little hesitant, Roulan and Li Jun were in love, he naturally knew it, but he didn't see it very important, besides, Roulan and Huo Cong and Li Lin were also quite close, so after knowing Jiang Zhe's meaning, he didn't persuade him, in his opinion, the son's order naturally cannot be disobeyed, not to mention that Huo Cong and Roulan are engaged, it is more appropriate. I didn't expect it to cause an uproar, not to mention anything else, Li Jun's unauthorized departure from his post is a big crime, not to mention letting the future Son of Heaven kneel for a long time, which is unreasonable. After thinking about it, he ignored Li Jun, let go of Roulan, and asked lightly: "Lan'er, Gongzi loves you like a pearl in the palm of his hand, and he is also a painstaking person to marry you to Huo Cong, if you are the crown princess, you will have to compete with other women for favor in the future, if you marry Huo Cong, he will never dare to have the heart of a concubine, and besides, you and Cong'er have also grown up together since childhood, and you should know his character and surname very well, if such a good man misses it, there will be no such opportunity." ”

Seeing that Xiao Shunzi also said this, Roulan couldn't help crying: "Uncle Shun, I know that Brother Huo is very good, but I have always regarded him as my own brother, I have always liked Brother Jun, if I really promise my father to marry Brother Huo, wouldn't I be sorry for him." ”

Li Jun also said hurriedly: "Uncle Shun, Li Jun can swear to the sky, and he will never let down Lan'er, if I fail her, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." ”

Xiao Shunzi said coldly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you will be the emperor in the future, according to the etiquette system, no matter what you think, the position of the four concubines and nine concubines must be placed on the throne. ”

Li Jun was stunned for a long time, and said: "Uncle Shun, I don't dare to say that there will only be one Lan'er in the future, you are right, no matter how sincere I am to Lan'er, once I ascend the throne as the emperor, there will inevitably be concubines and concubines, this is etiquette and rules." But Li Jun is willing to swear that in this life and this life, no other woman will ever take my heart, let alone let another woman give birth to an heir, I dare not say what will happen in the future, but my father is now in his prime, how can I, the prince, be able to be a prince for another twenty or thirty years, and I will never marry a concubine again before I ascend the throne. ”

If Li Jun swore that he would never accept any more concubines, not only Xiao Shunzi would not believe it, but even Roulan would be suspicious, but when he said this, both of them believed in his sincerity.

Although Roulan's face was still full of tears, she still couldn't help but smile, she was as delicate and beautiful as a hibiscus out of the water, Li Jun couldn't help but look stunned, until Roulan blushed and avoided his gaze, he came to his senses, and looked at Xiao Shunzi eagerly, he knew that if there was no such person to turn around, he was afraid that before his father tried it, Roulan would marry Huo Cong.

Xiao Shunzi sighed and said: "Leave this matter to me, I can convince Gongzi that as long as Miss Lan is unwilling, she will not be forced to get married, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not be in a hurry to propose, Rou Lan is still young, and it is not too late to talk about marriage in two years." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is burdened with heavy responsibilities, so let's go back to Chuzhou as soon as possible, if today's matter spreads, I am afraid that the marriage between you and Miss Roulan will be even more hopeless. ”

Li Jun felt a chill in his heart, and immediately remembered his responsibility for leaving his post without permission, although there should be nothing to do in Chuzhou for the time being, but if there is a change, the father will definitely blame it, there are not a few people who watch the position of the crown princess, if Roulan bears the name of "disaster water", this marriage really does not count on him Although he is stunned for a while, but after all, he is not a stupid person, he glanced at the closed door, gritted his teeth and said: "Lone will go back to Chuzhou, but Huo Cong is walking beside Lone, if there is no Counselor of him, Lone always feels uneasy, Let him go back to Chuzhou with Lone. ”

Xiao Shunzi and Roulan were both stunned, and then understood that if Huo Cong stayed by Roulan's side, I was afraid that Li Jun would definitely not be at ease, and Huo Cong had already followed Li Jun to serve his life, and it was reasonable for Li Jun to speak like this, Huo Cong couldn't even think about it.

Xiao Shunzi and Rou Lan hesitated, but the door opened, and Huo Cong walked out with a bitter face, and said: "Mr. instructed that as a courtier, he should give priority to state affairs, and ordered Huo Cong to follow His Royal Highness and leave immediately." Li Jun was overjoyed, stepped forward and took Huo Cong's hand and said: "Brother Huo, don't worry, if it weren't for Brother Huo's message, I'm afraid that I'll regret it for life, and I'm absolutely malicious, I just need to rely on Brother Huo's talent, and I ask Brother Huo to help me." ”

Huo Cong smiled secretly and bitterly, and said in his heart, why did I suffer from this, I originally wanted to help you achieve good things, but I also fell into it, if you weren't so impatient, maybe it wouldn't be long before it would be a matter of course, so as not to give birth to so many rights and wrongs.

After arranging the things outside one by one, Xiao Shunzi took a step back to see Jiang Zhe, and when he entered the room, he saw Jiang Zhe sitting on the couch with an annoyed expression, the black and white chess pieces were thrown to the ground, and several books fell to the ground, obviously suffering from the pond fish, and couldn't help but smile, and said: "Childe made a mistake this time and caused a lot of trouble, but is there already a way to solve it?" ”

I said angrily: "The most hateful thing is Huo Cong's kid, if he doesn't want to marry Lan'er, it's okay, just explain it to me directly, isn't it okay, but he has to send a message to Li Jun, causing so many things, it's really hateful, this time let him go to Huaidong with Li Jun, I want to see how Li Jun, this kid, deals with his rival in love." ”

Xiao Shunzi smiled and said: "It's understandable that Cong'er didn't say it, if the prince knew a few days ago that Roulan and the prince were already in love, I was afraid that it would be possible to force the two of them to worship immediately, but he probably didn't expect the prince to be so unbreathable." Childe, in fact, the prince is also sincere, and Lan'er is also in love with him, why do you have to stand in the way? ”

I shook my head and said: "Let's not talk about Li Jun's identity, although I don't want Lan'er to marry into the royal family, but there is another reason, although the study of fate is ethereal, but it is not unreasonable, Li Jun, this child is smart and enlightened, and has a benevolent heart, which is excellent, but it is a little less blessed, Lan'er, this child I have always loved, I really can't bear her to suffer in the future." ”

Xiao Shunzi saw Jiang Zhe's resolute expression, and knew that it would be difficult to change Jiang Zhe's mind this time, so he said: "Then the matter that I just promised the prince, the prince will not let me lose my trust, right?" ”

I smiled and said: "Then how dare I, if I let the evil shadow lose my promise, I'm afraid that I won't be able to endure this hardship, or not, it's okay to delay Roulan's marriage beforehand, but there are not many young people in this world who can be worthy of Lan'er, except for Cong'er, I really don't fancy which, if Lan'er doesn't want to marry Cong'er, I can not force her, but if she wants to marry someone else, I have to like it, but Li Jun can't." ”

Xiao Shunzi shook his head helplessly, if Jiang Zhe was stubborn, he would have no way, it was not easy for him to make some concessions, and he inadvertently remembered that Jiang Zhe had already made a holy decree asking for marriage, and couldn't help asking: "Childe, then your fold has been handed over, what should I do?" ”

I was already a little tired, and said lightly: "What's the matter, if the emperor decrees marriage, then it's not that we don't talk about it, if Li Jun wants to marry Lan Er, he will solve this matter, we don't have to worry about it, and besides, with that piece of music, the emperor can't just make Lan Er the crown princess, isn't it great?" ”

When it came to the last few words, his voice was already extremely low, Xiao Shunzi saw that Jiang Zhe's breath was gradually sinking, and he was actually drowsy, thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was kneeling outside, he was also very uncomfortable in his heart, smiled lightly, covered Jiang Zhe's fur quilt, lightly put away the scattered chess pieces and books, and then sat on the chair to breathe, and ran all the way, he was also a little tired?
