Three. regression
It is said that the capital is lively, and there is talk of the return of the four princes to Beijing everywhere.
In a teahouse restaurant in Beijing, Mr. Storyteller is telling the story of the four princes' disaster relief.
"At that time, there were natural disasters and human disasters in Chengyan County, and the people of Chengyan County were miserable......
"Hey, when you hear this, you're going to praise you to the sky." On the second floor, a handsome person dressed in a white dress with a cloud silk python pattern and a cyan auspicious cloud wide belt around his waist teased at the people around him.
"You're not bad, you've been getting more and more moisturized recently, and you're even willing to wear this cloud silk." The fourth prince, Qi Yuanchen, said to the people beside him.
"That's not right what you said, sir, I saw that you were coming back, so I wore it on purpose. Although I can't compare to you in terms of government affairs, I am still very confident in my appearance. ”
"Yes, yes, you're the best kid."
"Of course." Qi Yuanxi raised his head slightly, very proud. Suddenly, he turned to a serious face and said, "What did you encounter along the way?" ”
"I met a lot, but fortunately, peace came." Qi Yuanchen frowned and said.
"What's the bother?"
"This time I did come back, but I had two unsolved doubts in my heart, and I was a little uneasy."
"Oh? What doubts does the fourth brother have. ”
"When I went, I secretly went to investigate by the secret order of my father, and when I came back, there was no movement. Although most people knew that I was going to Chengyan County at that time, it was not so easy to reveal my whereabouts. ”
"What does the fourth brother think? Isn't it someone who has a prince in the secret guard? ”
"It's not like I haven't thought about it, but after thinking about it, I still think it's impossible."
"Why is that?"
"There aren't many secret guards who have followed me this time, and there are very few left of this battle, and many times I am not very defensive against them, and those people are not idle. If they had tried to kill me, it would not have been very difficult. However, no one did anything. If it were the eldest brother, he would have killed me recklessly. ”
"Fourth brother, but there are still people who know your whereabouts."
"Yes."
"Who?"
"Father."
"What?"
"My father is in charge of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, so he must know where I am."
"Fourth brother, are you suspicious of your father...... That's impossible! From childhood to adulthood, your father's favorite is you. ”
"That's it, let's not talk about this for now, maybe there are other forces."
"Hmm. And what about the second annoyance? ”
"The first assassination was more powerful than the others."
Qi Yuan Xiyuan originally planned to take a sip of tea to dispel his fright, but now that he heard him say this, he almost squirted out the tea.
"Ahem......" Qi Yuanxi wiped his mouth with a tablecloth before saying, "You have been chased and killed four times?" ”
"Hmm."
"How wasted that group of people is, they can't ...... four times Forehead...... I mean those people are terrible. ”
"I know." Before Qi Yuanxi could breathe a sigh of relief, Qi Yuanchen arrived again: "However, pay attention to what you say in the future, are you so cursing?" ”
Qi Yuanxi hurriedly promised: "Well, I must pay attention in the future." Then he hurriedly changed the subject: "Four assassinations? And then what! ”
"The first time I cared about it." Qi Yuanchen said lightly.
"What happened the first time?" Qi Yuanxi was puzzled.
"The first one came back too strong, and too casual."
"What's the explanation?"
"The first time, there were only seven people, and they killed more than half of my side."
"What! How can it be? There are such masters around the prince? ”
"I suspect it's not the prince's."
"Could it be someone from a third party? Then it must not be my father, my father would not have done such a thing, fourth brother, you know, he never intervenes in the struggle between us. ”
"No, I suspect it's a fourth party."
"The fourth party? How so? ”
"Think about it, if the killer who came and the messenger were really in the same group, why? Naturally, he just came to have a fun time, and he didn't want to kill me, so why did he tell the prince? ”
"Maybe he wanted to kill someone with a knife. The children of Tianji Pavilion are all over the country, maybe he is afraid? ”
"Scared? Scold. Qi Yuanchen sneered and continued: "If he was really scared, he wouldn't have intervened in this matter so blatantly. I can guess this, do you think my father will not know? ”
"That's right, but if that's the case, who would it be?"
"Who knows! In short, I hope he is just a man in the rivers and lakes, otherwise ......"
"Hmm." Qi Yuanxi nodded, then looked at his fourth brother with shiny eyes, and asked, "Fourth brother, do you think I look like that person?" ”
“…… Don't make a fuss. ”
“?! No...... What do you mean don't make trouble, I'm also a prince anyway, but I have the blood of my wise and martial father in my body, how do you look like it. Fourth brother, do you think I can wear a black mask in the future? Do you think I want to be a martial arts alliance leader or a demon sect king in the future? Fourth brother, you have to help me when the time comes, and my future will depend on you. Well...... Let me think, you have to ...... Oh! You have to have a baby with your sister-in-law as soon as possible, and then let him recognize me as a godfather. After ......"
"Stop! Where did you come from, sister-in-law? ”
"Huh? Haven't you heard? I heard that my father intends to marry Mu Ling, the eldest lady of the Mu family, to the fourth brother. You must know that Mu Ling is a sinking fish and a goose, so beautiful that it is intoxicating, this marriage to you, I don't know how many young men's hearts will be broken. ”
"Where did you hear that?" Qi Yuanchen calmly took a sip of tea and asked.
"Fourth brother, that's the number one woman in Kyoto, you have this attitude?"
"When did you believe what you said? Tell me, where did you hear about it? ”
It is said that as soon as the four princes returned to the capital, they saw a woman standing on a pavilion. The woman was dressed in white, with picturesque eyebrows and delicate facial features. Everyone in the world says that 'heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass', and even characters like the Four Princes are not exempt from vulgarity. It was just a glimpse, and the four princes ......"
Qi Yuanchen frowned, pointed to the storyteller below and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Uh...... As you can see, that's where I heard about it. In fact, this is not impossible, fourth brother, think about it, although that Mu Ling has a peerless appearance and is the daughter of the prime minister. But her father didn't know her, maybe the rumors in the market reached her father, and his father allowed it. What's more, you've been running back and forth all these years, not to mention taking a wife, I guess you solved it yourself when you got there. ”
"Fifth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are becoming more and more presumptuous. Do you want the fourth brother and I to help you loosen your bones, so that you don't make too many mistakes at a critical time. ”
"Don't ...... Farewell, this public ......"
"Don't say it, what you say makes sense. Then why don't you go back and ......."
"That, fourth brother, let's go to the Mu Mansion to have a look, this eldest lady of the Mu family usually doesn't go out of the door, and the second door is not out, even the royal banquet only sends her two younger sisters to go, but the only time we go out, we haven't seen it, I've been looking forward to seeing her for a long time."
"See her? On what grounds? Just this unwritten story? ”
"Who said there must be a reason, we can go secretly."
"Secretly? Are you sure you can do it? ”
"Why not! Although my martial arts are not very good, when it comes to light skills, maybe even the fourth brother you can't compare to me! ”
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Then go ahead."
"Really!"
"But you're the only one."
"Don't ......"
