"Hmm." Xie Wan's head said: "A person like him seems to be infatuated, but in fact, he only has his Liao Kingdom in his heart, and he only has the ambition to reign over the world, and the other children's private affairs have to stand aside." ”

"But in fact, such a person is suitable to be an emperor." Li Chengqing said softly: "Like you, if you attach too much importance to feelings, it will not benefit the country." ”

Xie Juan quietly raised his glass to taste the wine.

After a while, she spoke again, but changed the topic and asked, "It's been a month, and there is still no news of Shen An?" ”

"No, this time." Li Chengqing sat opposite her, poured a full amount of wine, saluted Xie Xuan, and drank it all before he continued: "But I'm not sure if it's him, I can only say that there is an object of suspicion." ”

"Who?" Xie Juan immediately sat up straight.

"A monk."

"Monk?"

"The hideous-looking monk seems to have been disfigured by a fire." Li Chengqing said: "The name of the law is Zhao, as if it appeared suddenly, although it can be found in the past, but those who can be found in the past look ...... It's so perfect that it looks like it's been faked. ”

Xie Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly: "...... Zhao"

Saying this, a trace of warmth flashed on her face, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

But soon she frowned: "Disfigured? ”

"Hmm." Li Chengqing bowed his head, thought for a while, and said: "I went to see him from afar, and the scar is indeed an old scar, not a burn that has only been burned recently." But ......"

Xie Juan stretched out two fingers, lightly clicked on the table, and said, "There should be many ways to make new injuries old, right?" ”

"A lot, the least expensive is to use ginger ale. However, the scars rubbed by ginger juice are too hideous, and experienced people can see them at a glance. His scars were much more delicate, probably made with a potion of many precious herbs. ”

Xie Juan said thoughtfully: "But if you want to make the scars old, the premise is that they have to be healed." For severe burns, a month to heal is enough to choke, not to mention that old scars will inevitably cause the wound to be more difficult to heal......"

"I'll go to check, but it will take time." Li Chengqing smiled: "If he doesn't appear, you can't be a good emperor." ”

"I'm sorry...... Thank you for your hard work. Xie Juan said, thought about it, and said, "Can you arrange it, I want to meet him." ”

Li Chengqing bowed: "Yes." Later, I will invite him to my house on the pretext that he is my guest, and tonight you will secretly leave the palace from the straight road in front of the Lantai next to the Chen Hua Hall in the palace, and enter my house, and I will arrange for you to meet. ”

"Thank you." Xie Juan didn't expect it to be so smooth, and he thought it would take a few more words......

Li Chengqing waved his hand, toasted Xie Juan with a glass of wine, and said, "Weichen retires." ”

Xie Wan's head was bowed.

Night.

The imperial capital is lit up by thousands of homes, like daytime, and it is still lively.

Except for the borders, the Great Liang Kingdom does not have curfews, so there is such a scene.

Li Chengqing changed into his regular clothes, took only A Man alone, retreated left and right, quietly came to the side of the Lantai, and walked into the straight road.

The straight road is actually a very special road.

From the palace to the north gate of this section, the straight road is completely closed, the high wall on both sides is five steps and a post, ten steps and a pavilion, the guard is strict, except for the Emperor of Liang himself, and the troops and cronies who have received the emperor's edict, anyone who dares to step into it is a capital crime, and will not be spared.

The same is true of such noble people as the queen and the crown prince.

The North City Gate, that is, outside the Xuanwu Gate, leads directly to the junction of Northern Xinjiang and the Great Jin Dynasty, and there are post stations along the way.

If the war starts, the Daliang army will leave the palace by straight road, and it will be able to reach the northern frontier 3,000 miles away in two days at the earliest. If the war is not so tight, in three to four days, 200,000 troops can be transported over.

This is the most important and fundamental military strategic weapon of the Great Liang.

Of course, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies, this is the ancestral training of the Great Liang. If the northern frontier falls, even if there is no supply along the way, the enemy army can enter the palace through the straight army within seven days.

This is the major hub connecting the center of the Great Liang Empire with the northern frontier.

At the same time, on both sides of this straight road in the imperial capital are the residences of various princes and ministers, and the back doors of these mansions are also open on the high walls on both sides of the straight road.

This is a design made by a tyrannical emperor eighty years ago, in order to control the ministers and raid them at any time, but now the design has been invalidated.

The soldiers on both sides of the straight road, when they saw Xie Xuan, knew what was going on with her, and immediately turned a blind eye and continued to patrol dutifully.

Out of the palace, it is Li Chengqing's new mansion.

The closest to the palace means the most favored.

Coming to the back door, Xie Juan knocked on the door in the order of three knocks, two beats, five knocks and three beats according to the previously agreed rhythm.

Then a maid opened the door and respectfully invited Xie Juan to enter and serve sake.

After a while, Li Chengqing rushed over, and saw that Xie Juan only brought A Man here, and a little moved look flashed in his eyes, so he said, "Everything is in order, Monk Yan Zhao will come over soon." ”

Xie Juan nodded lightly, and unconsciously grabbed the gauze skirt with both hands.

She clutched so hard that her knuckles turned slightly white.

At this moment, she was nervous and nervous.

Shen An...... Is it really you? You...... Sure enough, he didn't die......"

I don't know how long I waited, it seemed that there were only about ten breaths, but for Xie Xuan, it seemed like ten months.

Finally, footsteps sounded, and a tall figure appeared at the door.

The distance is a little far, and the door is a dim place, Xie Juan looked over, but he only felt that the shadows were sufficient, and he couldn't see it really, like seeing flowers in the fog.

But......

Xie Juan was too familiar with this figure.

Even though he was wearing a wide robe, he seemed to be wearing a hat.

Because of this shadow, it appeared in her dreams countless times.

"Someone...... But the monk of Yan Zhao? She asked in a trembling voice.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is a poor monk." The monk replied, then took a step and walked in.

Xie Juan even trembled.

Yes, this voice is right, although he deliberately changed his voice, Xie Juan can still hear his voice.

And he has a strong flavor that belongs to "him".

Don't forget, Xie Juan is a cat demon with an extremely sensitive sense of smell. For cats, the sense of smell is much more important than vision, and cats, like dogs, mainly rely on smell to distinguish others.

After the waiting monk Yan Zhao approached, Xie Juan couldn't help but say, "Raise your head." ”

He kept his head down, and the hat covered his face, hiding his face from the background.

"The poor monk's face is quite hideous." Monk Yan Zhao said calmly: "If you scare Your Majesty, you will be guilty of ten thousand deaths." ”

"I said, look up." Xie Xuan's eyes froze.

Monk Yan Zhao frowned slightly, and he felt a terrifying surging force that made him look up.

And the source of this power seems to be himself, he heard Xie Xuan's order, and instinctively wanted to obey.

But if you taste it carefully, it is a little different, this power does not only come from his heart, but also from the outer void.

As if he gritted his teeth and restrained his instincts, the invisible power in the void would also force him to raise his head.

"It's ...... Do you do what you say? He was a little stunned in his heart, and thought of a legend.

Legend has it that the ancient emperor ruled the eight corners of the universe and was the true supreme powerhouse. The emperor has a heavenly constitution in his mouth, and he can command the sun, moon and stars, and command the three mountains and five mountains, and the four seas and rivers.

But he always thought that it was just a legend for no reason, and it was impossible for the emperor of the world to be able to do that level, but the real god.

But it seems that the three emperors and five emperors of the primeval world are not only the kings of men, but also the emperors of heaven......

And now this power is the power of words.

Yes, after Xie Juan learned how to control the spiritual power in her body with her body, her spiritual power was compatible with sitting on the throne, and she had the ability to speak her mind. With a single thought, she could appear anywhere within the territory of the Great Liang Kingdom.

As soon as she opened her mouth, it was the rules, and the edict was the world.

But even so, she still couldn't find Shen An. Perhaps because Shen An is not a native of Daliang, but a hostile regent of the Great Jin Dynasty.

But if it is face-to-face, her ability to speak the law still works, except for the Great Jin and the Great Liao Emperor, no one in the world is immune.

These two emperors are also passively immune because of their status as the Ninth Five-Year Emperor.

At this time, she was excited, and she unconsciously used the power of words and words.

In the next moment, Monk Yan Zhao raised his head.

Xie Juan was moved, got up and walked down the steps, and walked in front of Shen An, his eyes were red, and he said in a trembling voice: "It's you...... It's really you! ”

Monk Yan Zhao closed his eyes and pursed his lips: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you have recognized the wrong person." The poor monk was very sure that he had not seen His Majesty before this. ”

"I can't be wrong, I won't forget the smell of you."

"The taste is ......," Monk Yan Zhao was stunned.

At this time, Xie Juan leaned in, put his side face on his chest, Xiao Qiong's nose moved slightly, sniffed lightly, and said: "This is the smell, looking at the world, throughout the ages, the only taste that can make me feel at ease and comfortable......"

Monk Yan Zhao took a step back and took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, the poor monk ......"

A finger was put in front of his mouth, and at the same time, Xie Xuan's voice sounded: "Don't speak......"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently stroked the scars on his face, and said, "Don't worry, Xie Xiaoce, who caused you so much, has been killed by us." ”

He was speechless.

Then Xie Juan chuckled again: "Use your true face, full body to see me." ”

"Your Majesty, this is ......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the wounds on his face and body were itching, and then all those scabs turned into dead skin and fell off automatically.

Yan Zhao opened his mouth: "Say what you say?" ”

"Exactly." Xie Wanyan smiled.

Monk Yan Zhao was speechless again.

After a few moments, the scars on his body had completely peeled off and returned to his original appearance.

There is no suspense, he is Shen An.

Not only that, but all the dark injuries he left over the years on the battlefield have also recovered as before, just as Xie Juan said, he has recovered his heyday.

"Why are you doing this?" Shen An sighed lightly.

He saw that Xie Wan had a few gray hairs, and some fine lines appeared at the corners of his eyes.

"Because you're my man." Xie Juan leaned on his chest again, and said softly: "The poor Bi fell into the Yellow Spring, I, Xie Juan, have identified you." ”

Shen An sighed lightly again, then raised his hand tremblingly and hugged Xie Xuan.

The corners of Xie Xuan's mouth lifted and he laughed.

Laughing and laughing, tears welled up in his eyes.

"I'm sorry." Shen An said in a deep voice: "These days, I have suffered you. ”

"It's not bitter, it's you who is really bitter." Xie Juan wiped away her tears, looked up at Shen An, and said, "But fortunately, you're finally back." ”

Shen An smiled: "How do you know this is not a dream?" ”

Xie Wan's body stiffened, and his face turned pale.

"Uh, I lied to you, how could it be a dream, it's real." Shen Anxin tightened, hurriedly hugged Xie Xuan, and said softly.

"......" Xie Juan opened his mouth and bit him on the chest: "You bastard!" I've been looking for you for a whole month! If you don't come to me if you're still alive, forget it, forget it if you refuse to admit your identity when you meet, and you dare to scare me when you return to your original appearance...... I'll bite you bastard! ”

The corners of Shen An's mouth were raised, not struggling, nor crying out in pain.

After a while, Xie Juan relieved his mouth, couldn't help but caress his chest, and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt." Shen An said softly, looking at her red lips, he couldn't help but bow his head slightly......

Xie Xuan's heartbeat was a little faster, and he slowly closed his eyes.

"Ahem!" At this moment, Li Chengqing's dry cough came from behind him.
