Five Years Later Chapter 40: The Banquet
Zhou Zhong's expression looked very strange when he said this, and Li Lefu couldn't say anything strange for a while.
After the two chatted casually for a few more words, Li Lefu went downstairs.
Inside the Uyuan Palace.
"Father." After Zuoqiu Chuanbai received the news, he hurried to the main hall, where there were only him and the king at this time.
"Why did my father summon his sons and ministers?" Zuo Qiu Chuanbai asked.
Just as he was seeing things and thinking about people, Cangyou came to report to him, saying that the king had called him here, and he was calling him alone to this great hall for some reason.
Wang Shang walked up to him and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, Chuan Bai, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival." ”
"The retainers know."
"You've reached the age of marriage, it's time to find a girl." Wang Shangdao, he looked at Zuoqiu Chuanbai, and sighed again.
When Shangguan Jiaoruo came back with Zuoqiu Chuanbai, he also brought a little girl with him, who seemed to be called Xiaofu.
Zuoqiu Chuanbai seemed to like her very much at that time, but later he ......
That Xiao Fu approached Zuoqiu Chuanbai was actually just for the spirit gathering grass. It was nothing that Wu Yuanguo was missing a Gathering Spirit Grass, but her actions did hurt Zuo Qiu Chuanbai's heart.
At that time, Zuoqiu Chuanbai was still a teenager, and the promise at that age was the most unforgettable.
Zuo Qiu Chuanbai looked at Wang Shang and said, "Father, my son doesn't want to ...... yet."
Before he could finish speaking, the king interrupted him: "Nonsense, you must choose a woman this year. This king values you the most, and you should know what I think in my heart, this throne this king wants to pass on to you the most, and you must not be like this all day long because of one person. ”
"The retainers know." Zuo Qiu Chuanbai opened his mouth to speak and stopped, since the king had already opened his mouth and gave him an order, would he have no way to disobey?
However, I didn't want to fight for the throne, and I didn't want to marry a woman casually. Zuoqiu Chuanbai said in his heart.
He has his pressure, but also his helplessness.
When Zuoqiu Chuanbai walked out of the main hall, the sky was already dark, the dusk had already receded, and the uncool wind blew across his face, and Zuoqiu Chuanbai was stunned.
"Second brother!" Zuoqiu Guyun trotted over, "Second brother, what did your father call you to do?" ”
Zuo Qiu Chuanbai replied with a gentle smile: "It's nothing, it's just a matter to explain at tomorrow's banquet." ”
The little girl Zuoqiu Guyun pouted, as if she was angry: "Second brother, is it really?" ”
"Yes, Gu Yun, you go play." Zuoqiu Chuanbai squatted down and rubbed Zuoqiu Guyun's little head.
Zuoqiu Gu Yun pouted and said, "But I heard that my father asked you to choose an imperial sister-in-law for Gu Yun tomorrow......"
The smile on Zuo Qiu Chuanbai's face froze when he heard this, but in the end he still smiled bitterly: "Okay, Gu Yun go play." ”
"Then Sister Xiaofu, will she come back?" Zuoqiu Gu Yun frowned and raised his head to look at Zuoqiu Chuanbai, "Gu Yun misses Sister Xiaofu...... I want her to be Gu Yun's sister-in-law......"
Zuo Qiu Chuanbai didn't answer, he didn't know if Xiao Fu would come back, maybe he would, maybe not.
After she left Wuyuan Country that year, Lord Shangguan Jiaoruo also left, he went to look for it in the nightlight, but Shangguan Jiaoruo told him that she didn't know where Xiao Fu went, and even if she knew, she wouldn't tell Zuoqiu Chuanbai.
Since then, Zuoqiu Chuanbai has lost all contact with Xiaofu.
He has no way of knowing where she is, whether she is doing well now, whether she is happy or not, but he believes that one day, they will meet after all.
When Li Lefu came to Wuyuan Kingdom, he had some intersections with the little princess Zuoqiu Chuanbai.
At that time, Li Lefu was still Xiaofu, Xiaofu still retained innocence and kindness, she liked to play with Zuoqiu Chuanbai's sister Gu Yun.
In Zuoqiu Guyun, Li Lefu seems to have seen his former shadow.
Xiao Fu taught Zuoqiu Guyun to write in the early morning sun with a pleasant wind, and taught her to play the flute under the sound of the bamboo forest.
It was the happiest time for Xiao Fu and Zuoqiu Chuanbai.
Xiao Fu also coaxed Zuoqiu Guyun to sleep and told her some interesting stories.
Xiao Fu said that she would take her to Lanyue Tower to see the moon when she had the opportunity in the future, which Yang Shu told her, and she now also told Zuoqiu Guyun that she regards Zuoqiu Guyun as her sister, and she hopes that Zuoqiu Guyun can be carefree for the rest of her life and not be hurt by everything.
She should have the best in the world, Li Lefu thought at that time, if her father and mother were still there, then she would be as happy as Zuoqiu Guyun.
After staying in Wuyuan Kingdom for a short time, Shangguan Jiaoruo told her that it was time to act, otherwise it would only become more and more dangerous if it dragged on longer.
After hearing this, Xiao Fu felt that the sky was dim instantly, and the clouds seemed to be sad in her heart.
Xiao Fu didn't want to hurt their feelings, but she was helpless, she had more important things to do, even if she didn't break it now, then she would only be more reluctant in the future.
She told herself that she was not blessed to live such happy days now.
After that day, she thought of a way to get the Spirit Gathering Grass, and Shangguan Jiaoruo opened a portal to the deep sea for her.
Xiao Fu went there, took the Gathering Spirit Grass, and was in a coma for a year.
She had wished that she would wake up and forget all that had happened before, so that she would not have to avenge anyone, and she would not have to live so unhappily. Now this face seems to have been alerting her that she was born for hatred.
Li Lefu played with a folding fan in his hand, and was stunned by the beautiful face in the dim light.
This folding fan belonged to Zuoqiu Chuanbai, and she wanted to throw it away when she woke up after taking the Spirit Gathering Grass, but in the end she didn't.
"I don't know if I'll see you tomorrow, Zuoqiu Chuanbai." Li Lefu unconsciously hooked the corners of his lips.
It's good not to meet, but if she does, what kind of mood should she have? Is it excited or scared?
She didn't seem to have thought about it, would she feel guilty when she saw an old man she hadn't seen for a long time, an old man who had been let down by herself?
In the middle of his thoughts, a small paper ball flew in from the window, Li Lefu stretched out his hand to catch the small paper ball, opened it and saw that it was Lin Sheng who sent him a message.
"The two adults in the deep sea have returned, I have already met with them, Lord Siwu and Lord Sui Lu will go to make peace with you in the near future."
After reading it, Li Lefu burned the paper ball to ashes.
Si Wu and Sister Sui Lu are back, didn't they say that they would go to Yunyou and not come back? Li Lefu didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while.
It stands to reason that they should have lived the life they wanted, but now, for her, they are involved in this endless conspiracy.
Hopefully, everything will be fine.
Let's get to an end quickly.
Following.
Jiang Tiandong and Li Lefu still entered the palace, and the two did not swagger into the palace, but disguised themselves into the venue of the Lantern Festival banquet.
Li Lefu saw Guan Xiangyun, it seems that her spirit is not bad, although her face is still a little haggard, but it is much better than yesterday, and the slight haggard has brought her a different sense of beauty.
"If this Guan Xiangyun speaks the same as this look, it would be good." Li Lefu whispered.
"So are you." Jiang Tiandong looked at Li Lefu without looking over.
"Oh, how long are we going to stand here?" Li Lefu and Jiang Tiandong disguised themselves as guards, "And why are we pretending to be like this?" ”
Li Lefu didn't understand.
"It's easy to move, there's a good chance that the killer who hurt the snow bird will be here today." Jiang Tiandong said.
"Why?" Can't the murderer hide somewhere else, and have to enter the palace?
"The murderer's spiritual aura is very peculiar, I asked Shi Zhen to check, generally only princes and nobles will use such a peculiar spiritual aura. Since that person can't go to Xuansu Country, he must be from Wuyuan Kingdom," Jiang Tiandong explained, "I know you still have a lot of questions to ask, so I'll talk to you slowly when it's over." ”
"Got it, so, this murderer must be someone among the princes and nobles?" Li Lefu asked.
"Not necessarily, maybe someone among the princes and nobles. All in all, everyone who came in to the banquet took a look, and Guan Xiangyun's ghost, I also felt very strange. Jiang Tiandong said.
Li Lefu was about to say something, when he suddenly saw several luxurious carriages coming here not far away.
"Second prince, you're here." Li Lefu saw a guard come forward to help the carriage lift the curtain.
The second prince, Zuoqiu Chuanbai? Li Lefu stared intently at the carriage, as if he was afraid that a monster would come out of it.
Zuo Qiu Chuanbai looked at her as he got out of the carriage.
Li Lefu's eyes dodged, but he still saw Zuoqiu Chuanbai's current appearance.
He is still so good-looking, and his eyebrows are gentle and elegant, different from Jiang Tiandong's "evil spirit".
She didn't seem to have any special feelings, as if the two of them had only met yesterday, Li Lefu thought to herself, maybe because she was too far away, she didn't feel excited or afraid of anything.
Jiang Tiandong saw Li Lefu standing in a daze, and said, "Be serious." ”
Li Lefu nodded.
"Second brother!" Zuoqiu Guyun ran towards Zuoqiu Chuanbai from behind.
Left hill valley clouds? Gu Yun has grown so big...... Li Lefu smiled, and suddenly put away his laughter.
So today, Zuo Qiu Chuanbai will go to Gu Yun to choose the imperial sister-in-law?
"Gu Yun, let's go, the second brother will take you in to play." Zuoqiu Chuanbai smiled and took Zuoqiu Guyun's hand and walked in front of Li Lefu.
Just as he was approaching Li Lefu, Zuo Qiu Chuanbai paused, he turned his head to look at Li Lefu, and left again.
Zuo Qiu Chuanbai should not be able to recognize himself now, Li Le said in his heart.
She is now dressed as a man, and she is not a man in front of others.
At this time, a man dressed in black walked past her, Li Lefu felt a powerful aura of spiritual power, and Jiang Tiandong also locked his eyes on this person.
Li Lefu saw Jiang Tiandong's lips, and he told her: "It's this person." ”
So soon the murderer appeared? Li Lefu saw the man in black walk into the banquet.
"So what do we do now, do we want to go in?" Li Lefu asked.
"No, rushing in will only startle the snake. We must not be discovered this time. Jiang Tiandong said.
They must catch the killer before his true identity is recognized.
This banquet seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, everyone has a ghost in their hearts, and the Wuyuan Kingdom may be in danger.
